An explanation of this famous bit of philosophical graffiti
The MadMan
“Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I seek God! I seek God!” — As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Has he got lost? asked one. Did he lose his way like a child? asked another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? emigrated? — Thus they yelled and laughed.
The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. “Whither is God?” he cried; “I will tell you. We have killed him — you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.”
I have come too early….This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light of the stars requires time; deeds, though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than most distant stars — and yet they have done it themselves.”
What Caused the Death of God?
So this is the first and most basic sense in which Nietzsche thinks that God is dead. Our culture is becoming increasingly secularized. The reason is not hard to fathom. The scientific revolution that began in the 16th century soon offered a way of understanding natural phenomena that proved clearly superior to the attempt to understand nature by reference to religious principles or scripture. This trend gathered momentum with the Enlightenment in the 18th century which consolidated the idea that reason and evidence rather than scripture or tradition should be the basis for our beliefs. Combined with industrialization in the 19th century, the growing technological power unleashed by science also gave people a sense of greater control over nature. Feeling less at the mercy of incomprehensible forces also played its part in chipping away at religious faith. (Mirrored from ThoughtCo)
So, folks used to be more spiritually leaning. It was decided to allow Science to bring in the Enlightenment Era, which both were preceded by the appearance of the printing press. At some point Science took over the explanation of Nature and God instead of scriptures and ‘unprovable things’.
Nietzsche offers us the chance to construct a new “table of values,” one that will express a new-found love of this world and this life. For one of Nietzsche’s main objections to Christianity is that in thinking of this life as a mere preparation for an afterlife, it devalues life itself. Thus, after the great anxiety expressed in Book III, Book IV of The Gay Science is a glorious expression of a life-affirming outlook.
When Woes Goes – There is God
“11” is a Mirror. They are both Ones. Both are the same. We are seeing double vision of One. Each person may notice they are two One’s but they are one One. We have double vision. We need Part Deux sans Pooh.
We Humans are looking out at creation as we created it. All emanates from Human Hearts and Brains.
Deplorable Words
Humility can not come without appreciation and appreciation can not come without humility
The Deplorable Word(s) is not spoken in Deplorable Worlds. They are allowance of eternity and allowance of yourself being eternal and creator. Consequence is mental sequencing. Nothing is real until acknowledged. When you are appreciative/humbled enough – you will be ready for the deplorable words and ready to live them.
Rapture or Rupture
We should not be looking for the disappearing of the saints, but the appearing of Christ in the saints. We should not be looking for the Anti-Christ, but Jesus Christ. He’s the only world ruler I recognize. The kingdoms (governments) of this present system is falling, and the Government of God is rising. Stop looking for a Rapture, look for a Rupture. Break away from the traditions and fables that make the words of God of no effect.
WHAT ABOUT 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-17 ?
It is very important that we discuss this issue for several reasons. We need to know the truth so that we may be delivered from false concepts about God, tradition, and fables. 2 Tim.2:15, John 8:32 The purpose for revelation knowledge is that we might Grow. 1 Peter2:2
Hebrews 6:1 Challenges us to leave the elementary things, and GO On. Children are taught to believe in Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. Once they have grown they realize those were fables. Many have turned their ears from the truth, sound (reality, uncorrupt) doctrine, and rather here myths. 2 Tim.4:3-4 Put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
The above passage is one of the most misunderstood in the Bible. In order to really understand what the Apostle was saying, one must realize that prophetic scripture is most time written in symbolic language. These 1st century Believers only had the Old Testament (Torah and Tanach), Jesus and all of them preached from it. The scripture also tell us that all the things that happened to ancient Israel was for our examples. They experienced many things in the literal sense, we will experienced many things in the figurative sense.
The law of first time mentions become very helpful in understanding this. Can you think of an incident in the Old Testament that relates to 1 Thess. 4:16-17?
Exodus 19, The Israelites had come out of Egypt. It was the third month, Feast of Pentecost (Shauvot). God was about to give the Torah (10 Commandments), and speak to Israel face to face. Moses was instructed to bring them out to “meet with God”. In this chapter you will find the LORD descending on the Mount Sinai in the form of smoke and clouds. There was the sound of the trumpet, the voice of God shouted so loud that it scared the Israelites. Moses was caught up into the cloud God’s glory, and God spoke the Torah to him. Exodus 19:14-25, 20:1-26
Ancient Israel experienced this literally, but they were not taken off the planet. We are experiencing this in figurative, in our spirit. Above Mirrored from: Atam.org
