Sacred findings of the Snag

When does a person truly know the one they've chosen to spend the rest of their life with?

It's taken many years to pull away from the historical practice where the parents were the ones to hand pick their child's mate for life.

Somewhere within man's wisdom this practice was over turned to then allow the child to hand pick their own mate.

What does that wisdom look like when arguments take on the shape they do within marriages today?

How much external influence plays a role in defiling what was once agreed upon through the vow of a sacred marriage?

What if marriage were thought of as the chosen venue where a man and woman collectively make the discovery as to what little they each assumed they "Knew" about Love?

It's easy to allow yourself to fall in Love with the idea that God lead you to the one that YOU eventually exchange vows with.

That said, where does that same insightful leading go the day the choice is made to fight against your previous persuasion as Gods choice for you?

Is it before pain comes that one second guesses their hand picked mate?

Where did wisdom run to that was once thought to be at the alter when vows were made?

Has the covenant of marriage changed or has wisdom simply out smarted the ones that have made changes to it's origins?

What if marriage were viewed as is God in that He does not change nor does His oversight concerning marriage?

Has marriage become the arena where immaturity meets its match within the strategic game of give and take?

Finding the exact strand to pull which can unravel the whole garment is not a science to be pursued anymore than allowing one snag to accomplish the same thing.

Have you ever purchased a sweater yet only after you get home you discover it has a serious snag in a highly visible area? What's your first reaction?

Do you take it back and insist that the snag was there before you purchased the sweater? Was the package sealed or had it been opened and handled by others before you purchased it?

How many snags were in your marriage before you took notice of them making the life purchase? Were those snags highly visible or were they hidden beneath a fold?

There is wisdom to be found within the counsel given in the years of youth.

Mal 2:13-16
Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth , because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.

Has not [the LORD] made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth .

"I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty.
NIV


It's too easy to simply say. "I just woke up one day and it was all undone"! It's even easier to just blame the one that was supposedly the only one that has changed since the marriages took place.

Many don't stop to think concerning their own aptitude to hold their own formal investigation of their chosen mate. Too many fail the entrance exam concerning the basics as to the Full expectations of Love.

Who has wandered outside the kingdom of Faith to find their companion which will one day provide the reflection of your own inability to follow wise counsel?

How easy is it to say, "I was duped after the fact" instead of insisting the voice that has lead you to where you are now doesn't also refresh the memories of your original choice made at the alter?

Is this is true, then who duped who? Did the counsel of Love drag you away from the covenant of your own intentions?

Choosing Life is the continual choice of true Life in the Lord. The Lord which has entrusted you with the breath of Life as His spirit.

If He's entrusted you with Godly offspring, never forget the obligation as such a care giver in the vineyard of the Lord.

If you loose sight of Life's reward consider how the fruits of your labor were then consumed.

Jer 3:24-25
From our youth shameful gods have consumed the fruits of our fathers' labor — their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.

Let us lie down in our shame,and let our disgrace cover us.

We have sinned against the LORD our God, both we and our fathers; from our youth till this day
we have not obeyed the LORD our God."
NIV


True Freedom as the form of mercy shown is the opportunity to find Grace as the Wisdom of the Lord expressed as His Love through Jesus the Christ.

Wisdom is the chief principle. It's more than simply what works for only a short season and brings comfort as these things can change.

Change doesn't come without notice given. Unaware is having ignored the early warning.

Wisdom will always be proved right. There's always the "Right" way when circumstances surround any question at hand enough that doubt is removed as the dominate voice.

If wisdom has not promoted the question at hand, wisdom in turn will prove the motivation for opposition to be in error.

In terms of God holding the essence of wisdom in hand, scripture states with respect to the Lord's counsel, "Let God be true and every man a liar".

Somewhere else it says, "So that He may be proved righteous when He speaks".

Having assumed you also knew what you were looking for in a mate, did you simply miscalculate once again or was it just another series of misreads on your part having misjudged a persons character?


Is it easier to believe the person you chose has changed instead of realizing your own change which occurs also has to accommodate the one you could otherwise grow to despise?


James 1:17-18
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
NIV

God is really among you

The weight of the Lords words sent in advance should bring a man to his knee's within the present freedom as His mercy was shown.

If not then surely the weight of His majestic presence will upon His return.

What does it mean when read, Do not judge or you will be judged"?

Is that to say everything is acceptable to God that we do because we don't judge others? No, surely not!

Leave room for Him to judge.



Matt 7:1-2
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. NIV


Acts 4:19
But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God
NIV

Have we not already judged between the sinful nature and the Lord when we chose behavior considered as sinful?


Once again that would depend upon the Judge that does consider anything we do as sinful.


The benefit of words sent in advance of the Lords return were not intended for those that refuse to believe. They were intended for those which chose to believe.

If there be any real strength found in a freedom that's enjoyed, shouldn't it be understood as the opportunity to find the mercy being shown in that same freedom?

Every answer would depend upon believing whether or not your soul gets to enjoy an existance beyond this world once placed in a grave.

Matt 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul . Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.NIV

Choosing to believe not only the words said to be from Him, but to believe and receive those words because of the One which authored and gave those words to you as the form of His Son Jesus the Christ (Savior made available to the world).


 John 1:11-14
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of Godchildren born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
NIV

Believed so much that it becomes obvious to YOU, that is was His words (as counsel) which gave the strength to chose life in Him (which your soul will enjoy forever).

James 2:12-13
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgement without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!
NIV


 
James 5:9
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged . The Judge is standing at the door!
NIV

Is this to say that you have no say in your own life? You get to decide! What lead you to wherever you are now?

Is this to suggest that your decisions made have no bearing upon your future?

What does the word say to you personally in this next passage?

Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged . Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
NIV

1 Cor 14:24-25
But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"
NIV

1 Peter 4:5-8
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.  Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
NIV

Subtle Betrayal

There is a common call among all men which speaks the truth in love.

 Prov 25:26
Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
NIV


Acts 3:26
When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways. - NIV

There are many ways people attempt to express "Facing the truth", but the reality will be the day when truth stares intently into your face concerning the things you've defended as if they've accurately represented the truth.

The image of a loved disciple seen leaning back against the physical presence of Jesus is not echoed below as the voice of one that "fell at His feet as though dead".

Rev 1:17-18
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid".

I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
NIV

John 21:20
Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?")
NIV

Heb 12:5-6
5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:  "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."  
NIV

How family are the words "discipline and disciple" which harbor their intentions?

There is a betrayal which will end in death and there are more subtle betrayal's which slowly lead others to their death having masked the truth.


1 Tim 4:6-8
If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
NIV

2 Tim 2:19-21
Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness ."

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
NIV

James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
NIV

Matt 25:45-46
"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." NIV

Love enough

One of the most confused and abused words used while in this corrupted world is the word Love.

In terms of sovereignty, what if the word Love were reserved and only mentioned whenever someone wishes to convey the supremacy of the same God it also defines?

What if all other instances where someone tries to associate the word Love to their own outward expressions and it does not match what the Lord has to say about Love?

1 John 4:16-17
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
NIV

1 John 4:19-21
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
NIV

Does the God of Love ever discipline you through the ways He interacts with your life choices made?

Does the God of Love bring correction to your life at any time?

On the other side of seeming discipline, have you ever felt just as confused afterwards as you were before? If so, where does true learning and the essence of correction meet?

Does the God of Love allow you to make your own mistakes only later help you sort through the results of those choices made?

Is your God as the one you say that you love only available as your personal "Bail Out" God?

Enough that you find yourself repeatedly living through nearly the same results of the same basic poor choices being made?

Is your God that is Love the consistent God of Love that is aware of you before and after your choices made?

In terms of an assault or an offense against the Lord whom sits on High, can anyone truly bring harm to His person?

Can anyone truly change or alter all that the Lord is and will continue to be throughout eternity by their actions or words spoken while here on earth?

If thoughts of slander concerning all that Love is were ever to enter the picture, what physical appearance or verbal form would such slander assume?

What if the only damage that's done with regards to all that Love is and does can only be found within in the minds (perception) of others?

It's easy enough to declare "I am a Christian", yet what about the evidence that declares on its own that says "I love God"?

That is to say, "I love God" not only precedes your entering the room but also trails behind you as commentary about you once you leave the room?

What have you done in the name of Love?

What damage have you done with regards to someone else's perception of all that Love was intended to be in this earth?

Wouldn't your answer require knowing the absolute terms of engagement where Love performs?

Have you ever stood by an watched the life of another deteriorate and then pass on to the grave without ever having warned them that their life choices had them headed for something much more serious than the death of their mortal being?

What of the parent which cares for the daily needs of their own child that tells them "I Love You" every day, yet fails to inform that same child as to why those same words have any real meaning?

Are you the parent that feeds, clothes, schools, hugs and kisses their child every day that continually says "I love You", yet never counsels them concerning the savior of all mankind, Jesus the Christ?

Whose kind of Love have you truly introduced them to?

Have you somehow suppressed the "Truth" concerning all that Love is by never having shared with them the "Why" they too need to be introduced to this same source of Love that is supreme?

Are you somehow able to Love greater than the One which defines what love is and does here in the earth?

Rom 1:18-20
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
NIV


1 John 4:9-10
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
NIV

The essence of all sin results from NOT having believed upon Christ Jesus enough that you not only understand what Love is, but also what Love does not do?

Could this be said because Jesus was NOT the Lord (dominate voice) over all of your choices made to date?

That is to say enough that mankind (to include your children) can see the choices that you now make have been the direct result of what Christ Jesus has also done through you!

John 3:16-21
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God NIV

An enemy of the world

If a man were to try to help someone that's unaware of their own need for help, what "Cause" would prove itself capable enough where help actually shows up?

Rom 5:7-8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
NIV

How powerful is the word "Be-cause" in your life?

Gen 20:3
But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman."
NIV

John 16:2-4
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
NIV

John 16:8-11
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
NIV

Wouldn't it require the person which uses the word "Because" also need to be considered "Wise" as if  they are the one teaching and because they are now being honored as if they are able to "See" more than the student being taught?


How long can it take for the words which faithfully follow behind the word "Because" to soak into the thing many refer to as our "Gray Matter"?

A relative word which also needs to come into play together with the word "because" might be "reflection"?

Reflection of what though?

Something which needs to be seen as is not presently being seen?

1 Sam 9:19
"I am the seer ," Samuel replied.
NIV

1 Chron 21:9-10
The LORD said to Gad, David's seer , "Go and tell David, 'This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.'"
NIV

When a parent wants teach their child a lesson, they try to make a matter transparent enough so the child can look into the same matter enough that they'll see the matter the way the teacher does.

Mic 7:9-10
Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORD's wrath,
until he pleads my case and establishes my right.

He will bring me out into the light ; I will see his righteousness.
Then my enemy will see it and will be covered with shame,
she who said to me,

"Where is the LORD your God?"
NIV

Eph 3:10-13
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
NIV

1 Peter 3:13-22
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."
  
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.  

It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.

He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.

In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also — not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God.

It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand — with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. NIV

Luke 18:19-20
Jesus answered. "No one is good — except God alone.
NIV

Spies or lives which live in the hope of telling the story?

Who is thought worthy to deliver something considered better than the reasoning which is presently at work?

Without hearing the truth as the wisdom of the Lords intent which He's sent forth as His only begotten Son, how could one have any hope as the eternal value of His words which have become flesh and dwelt among us?

A spiritually naked man is more concerned about the worth of his own respect than the full disclosure of the truth which desires to cover all man-kind as the Lords mercy shown.

Isa 1:18-20
"Come now, let us reason together ,"says the LORD.

"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword."

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
NIV

Rev 2:16
Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
NIV

How would that saying from antiquity look if it were completed in truth, "when good men keep silent because of fear, evil has just been given the opportunity to prevail in the moment"?


"A man must know which side of the gate he stands before he can conclude whether he's a free man or a prisoner"

John 18:37
Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth . Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.
NIV

When imperfection speaks, should it expect to yield a return because of everything it has also pro-moted?

What damage should be considered done through the disguise of words which justify an evil act against a brother? 

Man can do nothing of real value with the embodiment of his own existence other than righteously re-present the true wisdom of words spoken concerning the living will of His Father in heaven.

Is a man deceived having set his own house on fire to then climbs into bed?

Who it is that truly offended having opened a wound in another with the sword of deception? 

James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
NIV


Matt 10:41-42
Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
NIV

If a man is not able to righteously consider he's been given anything, how can he then truthfully consider having been given to the care of another?


John 17:8-9
They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
NIV

The wife which accepts with all of her heart haven been given in righteous marriage, also understands the value of whose care she's truly been given to.

"Do as I say not as I do" is rich counsel, yet a poor commentary in the future once faced with the mutual results of the unrighteous choice that's been made.

When the future hopes to remember in a time of need the voice that will speak to where they now find themselves, what will it say?

Gen 42:16
Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth . If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!"
NIV

Luke 22:31-32
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."  NIV


Matt 16:18-20
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." NIV


Eph 3:10-13
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. NIV

Whose purpose does any subject serve?

Titus 2:2-15
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

In everything set them an example by doing what is good.

In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
NIV

Man Please, stand up like a man and allow truth to confront you!

The foolishness of man is what he least understands having convinced himself of what limits him from every possible angle as perspective"

When man's made the best choice, he's chosen the wisdom from the Lord.

His continued pursuit of that same wisdom will causes him to be considered wise.

What prevents the invasion of true wisdom in any life?

Is it the simplicity of knowledge discovered within the mastery of things that have been created by the Lord?

And does it include the creation itself which truthfully acknowledges the reverence that's due the creator of ALL things?

A man will design a plane which can land on water after studying the duck make a sucessful landing.

He'll eventually manage the courage needed in order to harness the essence of the same lightning he's observed in the sky for centuries.

He'll watch ants accomplish great task, yet he can only employ such wisdom once wisdom visits as the need he hopes to overcome.

He can shape theory with all that he presently understands, yet his own consideration as the motivating purpose towards the mastery of anything limits his vision for its greater genius that remains available.

He can spend a life time attempting to fine tune what he's already observed under the sun, yet his ignorance of the original intent behind it's mastery becomes his own limitation.

He can insist his own body can do certain things, yet to his own hurt he follows the instructions of his own limitation having lost sight of the "Why" he chooses to make the investment of himself and his time.

He can try and cheat the limitations of all that which surrounds and has mastered him, yet his master knows the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

He's able to envision the finished product except for the obstacle which lacks the results of a trust through sharing what he now knows beyond doubt.

What such a man has grown weary of, is the absence of the importance as the original cause for having pursued what he has.

His personal fears evolve into names and faces as if to say "those which look to steal away his original intent", yet what gets stolen before the original intent of anything created gets brought to fruition?

The same clouds may pass over head, yet one man will see them as an inconvenience while pursuing a tan, while another one his needs getting met prior to harvest.

He can be surrounded by enemies, yet forget being surrounded by the same wisdom which created his enemies.

He can convince himself of the importance of accuracy, yet forget the additional decimal place one space to the right of his final calculation.

He can hold conventions together with the most admired of minds known to man, yet discount the mind of the one which made all things.

His underlying plight?

The consideration concerning himself in which he holds out in the hope that he can somehow rise above it all in the end as he weighs the benefit of all that his hands have done.

Who is this man and what exactly is his greatest limitation he's yet to truthfully consider?

Whose identity does this more accurately describe?

Isa 14:1-6

The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel
and will settle them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.

Nations will take them and bring them to their own place.

And the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD's land.

They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.

On the day the LORD gives you relief from suffering and turmoil and cruel bondage, you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:

How the oppressor has come to an end!

How his fury has ended!

The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression.

All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing. Even the pine trees and the cedars of Lebanon exult over you and say, "Now that you have been laid low, no woodsman comes to cut us down."

The grave below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you — all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones — all those who were kings over the nations.

 They will all respond ,they will say to you, "You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us." All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.

How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven;I will raise my throne above the stars of God;

I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 

I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.

Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: "Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a desert, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?"

All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb. But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword,those who descend to the stones of the pit.

Like a corpse trampled underfoot, you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people.

The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned again. Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the sins of their forefathers; they are not to rise to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities.

"I will rise up against them,"declares the LORD Almighty."I will cut off from Babylon her name and survivors,her offspring and descendants," declares the LORD.

"I will turn her into a place for owls and into swampland;I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,"declares the LORD Almighty.

The LORD Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.

I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders."
 
This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations. For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?

His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
