So getting ready for sea trip just a few hours away in reality. Period of fun plenty sunshine the season is ending.
Moments of hot air. Will in time arrive as political classes gather.
In time around Mid 1260s efforts to establish the 'kingdom' existed in the world of 'Templar knights'. Misunderstood period. Hijacked group. Events lifestyle and movement that was about -theological attempts to establish- Kingdom here on Earth.
Confusing slightly misguided. Power hungry. But efforts where simple.
Provide hospitality. Protect all on a journey. Present Kingdom values. They had lot of success in this area.
Why was it not successful?
Authority, plus power took advantage. Privilege got a hold, people compromised. Values became distorted.
Knights fell. Values got lost. Powerlessness and humility should have been virtues they embrassed but why. Was it simple because of what was handed down wrongly.(Scripture).
Hope died. Bigger thesis of evils crept in destroy such noble standard? How did monk Knights loose sight of call to "worship Jesus by establishing Kingdom values", fade. Many years later this is presently craved for.
How did they loose the vision?. Why can we not achieve this even today? Because these values are fundamental to Faith of followers of Jesus
Why are we so much short of establishing very much close to what our vision is about?
Get back to you about this while you ponder.
