day no. 16,807: hindsight is always twenty-twenty

1 Chronicles 12:32

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.

Hindsight is always 2020.

You cannot understand where we are now without understanding the monkeyshines that were 2020 and you cannot understand 2020 unless you understand what led to said shenanigans. From COVID deaths to presidential ballots, one must given an account of the counting that does not include two plus two equaling five.

"The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed... Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer." — G.K. Chesterton, Heretics

2020 brought a lot into focus, the least of which not being the fog of fury that despises the light.

John 3:19-20

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Darkness cannot hide the darkness.  It can try to conceal itself, but the light will reveal it

Luke 12:2-3

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
