Don't forget that phrase. You will shortly be seeing something unfold on the world stage which will defy explanation, in the ordinary course of things.
The well-known saying 'many are called but few are chosen' comes from Matthew 22:14
The reason for being eventually 'chosen' at all, in the text, is merely the manner of attire.

I suppose this on its own would be an unusual idea but the whole narrative is told within the text itself as a story intended as a metaphor: there is some wedding of a king's son and none of the rich connected people wanted to show up.
...So the story goes. And then so pretty much everyone is 'invited,' whether poor and of no particular social account, and a lot indeed turn up but there is one guy who is not suitably dressed - and he is kicked out.
I mean it is a bit of a peculiar story to be sure. Why nobody cares about this king is interesting. And, ostensibly, those who really don't care are themselves very well-off and have high status.
In another story, a 'today' story - there is a king, of course, of Persia, but he is not ruling there right now.
He is not even allowed there.
Anyway.
There have been two different things I have been consumed about in recent weeks and that I wanted to toss around a bit and see what elements require illuminating by the focused power of the mind, and some clear thinking.
The first is how come so much design these days has so many actual design flaws in it.
I think a lot of the younger people to the game of industrial and technical design, would say 'What are you talking about? The weird funny-shaped too large side-scoops on the latest Aston Martin are cool, and the weird driver's wheel and the central tunnel console with stoopid weird and meaningless plastic knobs and tiny levers and the huge big tablet screen taking up all of the driver's attention - is all just great! We really also love the idiotic side-lights on the latest Lamborghini Revuelto and the completely shamefully lunatic front 'eyelid' turn indicator light strips on the latest Bentleys...'

| Dior in the 50's. Look at the people... |
None of those design elements (Ha! 'Design elements.' What a joke) -, fits in with any other cues from any other aspects at all, of those cars.
And I mean we are talking huge big industrial corporations with supposed-to-be 'professionally-trained' design teams, right...
The second point was to do with clearly outlining hard factual details which explain the reality of all of these 'ancient religious texts.' Especially for today's current events.
I think it was Oswald Spengler who wrote about the Fall of Modern Civilization published as far back as 1918(!). His concept of Epochs in Civilization being organic things, instead of linear histories, I think is quite sound. A lot of the rest of what he says seems to be rooted in his own time, in its idiosyncratic Teutonic mechanistic rationale, and not actual facts and logical thinking. But nonetheless, very interesting to look at.
Why I mention Spengler here is that just plain organically, you could say that 'ancient prophecy' is in all events not new stuff, but clear themes which repeat themselves throughout human histories.
To wrap it up here for the moment though - I do not think 'religions' explain anything from a literal 'Divine/God' mouth, as it were, to all people.
They are the 'outer court' only.

| Designs is Design is Design. It either is, or it just plain isn't. Today -, it just isn't (around). The Fall of Civilization/Spengler. |
The large crowds are there. They mill around outside, doing whatever they want to do - with the stress on the 'whatever they want to do!'
I don't think hardly any of these major 'religious figures' you hear about, that instigate big mainstream religions, are anywhere even close to 'the real deal.' Most of the time, they are plagiarizing from well-recognized other sources, and manufacturing the story (IE lying) that they got told something exclusively.
But then the challenge to me can always be - prove it.
Okay.
'Not by any Earthly hand.' And you will see it. You're about to witness it.
But alongside that and probably even before it, I will be endeavoring to say something much more concrete about it all, here.
And that is nothing to do with me personally proving anything - it's about themes, classic themes of human things, human societies, their arrogance, their inability to wake up to facts, and to accept truth as it really is, instead of insisting on parroting utter garbage made up by miscreants whose only interest was to destroy you, and to rule over you, to dominate you, to exploit your good intentions, to take your lives and eat up your souls.

| French design, actually. Not all Italian. |
You see, even if you were to prove something in a crystal clear fashion, to completely destroy the (supposedly) cherished beliefs of people, and show them a hard fact that replaces what they were relying on (that doesn't even work!) and which (new/new-ish) hard fact does actually work for them, for their own benefit and actively in their own interests - still, they will refuse to alter their positions. This is the curse of the human race. Because humans are social animals, they are addicted to social processes, and cannot bear leaving the slaver that tortures them, to walk the open road of actual freedom because of the missing bit - that two-way street of 'ego' and 'external other ego.' Once you go to the marriage feast, still you have to wait to be chosen because you are still just in the outer courtyard... And while you are waiting, you will be alone.
[Really great lyrics too. You can get the translations easily. The Italians seldom write great songs, despite that everyone conflates them with Venice Bel Canto sonatas because of modern Opera]:
