Transgenic is very nearly completed. There is only the table of contents and index to go.
Today I finished editing the main text of Edition 3 of Transgenic.
I had church in the evening, and the sermon was about Psalm 2.
As I listened I realised that this psalm is particularly apt for ending a book that chronicles the wickedness of people in high places, leaders, rulers, judges, and companies, in the Western World during the Coronavirus era.
Psalm 2 tells us that, while rulers and elites and intellectuals and people who hold the reins of power in this world might have plans to overthrow God and to ‘break his bonds asunder,’ in other words, to throw off the chains of morality and faith, that God is mightier than they are. He laughs them to scorn. And He already has the victory over them, by the cross: God is sovereign.
They ought to “kiss the Son” now, while they have the chance, for once God’s wrath is kindled, they will be utterly broken, like broken pottery, they will be swept away.
Psalm 2
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. You will break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O kings: be instructed, judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those that put their trust in him
Been really hopeful for an edition of "Transgenic" with TOC and Index. Will make it a much more useful resource.
