Caring For Others: Congratulating
An Alt Right acquaintance (actually, someone I admire and love in many ways) amused me today with a Sanskrit word “Mudita”, which relates to vicarious joy, joy derived from caring for others, unadulterated by self-interest. She defined it as: “In short in it means sympathetic joy. Joy for the happiness of others.” She said sometimes she thought words were missing from the English language. I replied to her tweet mentioning the word “congratulate”, and “rejoice” in the context of Luke 15:4-10.
1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Before the diaspora, the land of Israel had homogeneous, racial and cultural communities. The Hebrew heir still existed. The Jews, a Hebrew tribe of Israel, had legitimate rights to their territory. The people had a common culture, land, language and religion. (Don't confuse the Hebrews/Jews with the people called the “Jewish” or Herzl Matrilinealists of our modern day; they do not have the required genetics and are not the same people.)
The Hebrews enjoyed the things God had given them: their land, livestock and vegetation. It was all theirs to enjoy and bless their families with food and clothing. Notice in verse 6, that the man after searching and finding his lost sheep says to his fellow countrymen, “Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.” He was expecting joy from his friends also because they were an extended family, people of his own race and culture. Each knew their neighbor's affairs, troubles, likes, dislikes, friendships and concerns. They gave their children to be husbands and wives to other children of their own people. They realized unitedly the potential threats of the closeness of their enemies. They shared similar feelings. They all were expected to live for God and rejoice in the prosperity of one another, to protect one another from racial intrusion, sexual and substance abuse sin, and crime, as a unified, extended family.
Today, we Christians don't experience this type of homogeneous community because our tyrannous leaders have allowed our land to be divided up with peoples that don't care about us. The invaders don't look at us as part of their extended family, they look at us as people for a spoil. They take our jobs, they get welfare from money which we have paid taxes, they get advantages that sensible people would never give unto others without first providing the same and better for their close families. We don't see this type of rejoicing when we lose and find a sheep among the immigrants who have invaded us because they don't look at us like we are their own people. We aren't. We don't have in common race and culture. We don't see that vicarious joy for our prosperity from our treacherous politicians who have robbed us and sided with our invaders.
Nevertheless, in our struggle for survival through our sorrows, God has not left anyone searching for Him to go without. He does care about our prosperity and our lives. He cares about our soul. He doesn't leave us to be desperate and without his fellowship. He will answer our call unto him. His angels rejoice when a sinner repents: “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” The angels have joy for others. Christians also have joy for others when they are blessed and find God. In all our trials on earth, and in all our sufferings, we always have room for more joy and repenting.
Though we live in an almost apostate land wherein many of the ministers as the Pharisees and scribes go by their own rules and agendas, they don't accept others seeking God, and persecute those obeying him, we see a difficulty to find joy not only among our enemies and invaders, but also among our own. Rather than preferring their own people, they choose the invader and the destroyer. They don't mind our language being mixed contrary to Nehemiah. Our politicians fail us also. They take joy in damage or harm (schadenfreude, epicharikaky). Even worse, as Soros, Rehnquist or SJW's, they are like sadists gloating and thinking themselves to profit in seeing their own suffer demise (what bribes and mammon can do to a soul!), in direct opposition and very contrary to the faithfulness of Jesus as he preferred his own first when he reproved the woman from Canaan.
They have reminisced in the harm that was caused when our treasonous politicians departed from Lincoln's one-race rule, and the protection of national isolation. Later our country suffered Ellis Island, and worse, Ted Kennedy's forewarned curse and immigration act. The USA's demographic attack cannot continue to punish and torture its founder's heirs with foreign peoples as snares and traps unto them, and scourges in their sides, and thorns in their eyes until they perish off the land, as Joshua forewarned his nation. After all this harm and suffering, our politicians and adversaries still take joy in the devastation of delaying or not ending the Dream Act and DACA.
After the diaspora and the Islamic invasions, caliphate religion and false prophecy arose. The land of Israel had lost its former demographics. Sheep are still there, but the patrilineal, Hebrew and Jew most likely cannot be found today. He was scattered from his land and replaced. Miscegenation and invading cultures and races left the Mideast broken. Anti-Christian and one-world culture policy has become noticeable throughout the globe now. In all this, the lost can still be found, and we and the angels can rejoice. Let Jesus be your guide, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
