Ramblings from David
April 2021
A year ago, the Energy Syndicate announced the beginning of a new age; the Age of Joy. It was in 2018 we announced that the new age would begin in two years time amidst events no one on Earth would be unaware are happening. The monthly countdown ended in April 2020, just at the time most of the countries in the world were going into lockdown.
The prophecy was true and was fulfilled exactly on time.
What does this mean as far as science is concerned and general understanding about life and the whole of existence? All scientific understanding will tell you that it is not possible to know what is going to happen in the future and yet the evidence stands testament to the fact that they are wrong.
Science actually looks into the future a lot. Weather agencies are getting more accurate in their predictions. The Gaia satellite has been making a detailed image of the Milky Way. Gaia has now provided enough information for scientists to predict the movements of the stars, millions of years into the future; predictions that not too long ago would have been out of the realm of credibility and no doubt looked at suspiciously by scientists and others.
One difference between the type of prediction we made and those made by forecasters is there is no material data or evidence at the point of making the prophecy or prediction. For evidence, the only thing that can be offered for the above, is the fact that the prophecy was made, written and published two years prior to its occurrence. God knows.
It’s odd that it is the scientific community who are often the most doubtful that a prophecy can be true, and in many cases will vehemently denounce even the suggestion that such things can happen. Its only a few hundred years since the birth of modern science in the Western world. Many of the emerging scientists during the 1700’s in Britain were clergymen. With a lot of free time and a higher than normal income, they looked for ways of filling their time, producing a vast array of academic, cultural, engineering and scientific works. Many of the works may seem at odds with their chosen profession, preaching the Gospel, but that did not seem to sway them from their personal projects - some of which have directly impacted upon our modern lives.
A rector called John Mitchell taught William Herschel how to build a telescope, who in turn discovered Uranus. In Tunbridge Wells, a clergyman called Thomas Bayes, during the 1700’s produced a mathematical equation which today is called Bayes theorem. It is used in modelling climate change, analysing cosmological events and predicting stock markets. Oddly, the theorem had no practical applications until the advent of computing over 200 years after Bayes had written it! In Durham, the Rev. William Greenwell became the founding father of archaeology. In a rural parish in Leicestershire, a priest named Edmund Cartwright, stamped his mark on the Industrial Revolution by inventing the power loom; within just a few years over 250,000 of Cartwright's invention were driving the textile mills of Britain. In Manchester, the clergyman George Garret, between trips to the pulpit, managed to invent the first steam powered submarine. There are many more examples, quirky and significant, of how clergymen used scientific principles in their extracurricular activities but saw no conflict with their preaching and teaching, based on accounts of miracles and prophecy.
In the modern day there seem to be fewer and fewer clergymen, including those who sit in high office of the established religions, who believe that the things they hold up as special in their faith, can be things that are happening in the modern day; as though they have become tied to a book and the words rather than allowing themselves to feel the liberating joy of the Word. Over the last few hundred years science seems to have moved to a place that has so much certainty in its abilities that if there is something that does not fit, within assumed parameters of plausibility, the subject must be something to denounce immediately. Like a wall is being built to conceal the unfathomable reality that exists beyond – a reality that defies measurement with any of the tools and laws that make science strong. A separating wall is maybe not a bad thing if Faith remains – most people should be able to enjoy the lives they have without the sometimes damaging distraction of trying to look too closely at things that are beyond understanding, but is the modern world, with its certainty of advancement through science, in danger of adopting science as the authority on existence?
What then of prophecy? If nothing else it is out of the realm of science. It defies explanation yet is something that happens. A reason to celebrate that there are mysteries, with a future that is known, where the destination is certain. Its up to each and everyone of you to cherish the life you have and enjoy the journey as best you can.
