The last shall be first
"But
many that are first shall be last;
and the last shall be first."
--JESUS (Matt 19:30)
Jesus was an Aquarian, some say,
and he was very specific. Not all the
first would be last, which suggests that there's a strategy for
heretics at
all stations of life to ride with this inversion of values. And
what would
that be?
"Verily
I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into
the kingdom of heaven."
--(Matt 18:3)
The children, the mental patients,
the last--these have the least
investment in the prevailing insanity. They may already be wise.
Wisdom is
simple, simpler than intelligence. They may already be in heaven.
The rest
of us have to be converted back to sanity.
And to rub it in Jesus told the
parable of the laborers in the
vineyard. They all received the same reward, even those recruited
at the
eleventh hour. Those who have to work longest to get to heaven
find
themselves no further ahead than those who can walk right in.
Hmm... That was in Matthew 20.
And here's another one:
"Blessed
are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth."
--(Matt 5:5)
St. Matthew seems to have picked
up all the references to inversion.
And he wound up first in the New Testament.
