Uncanny Faith on Earth

I think I understand why I am not a prophet, but feel the pulling of faith with such force and tangibility as I do. The prophets repeatedly said that they could not say something differently than God had instructed; prophets are messengers primarily, and faithful not to alter the message.

Agreement is assumed between a faithful messenger and the one giving the message. Agreement exists and will neither be removed or expanded upon within the scope and timeframe when the messenger is employed. It feels like I have been given no direct messages but yearned for them and have been frustrated by the silence, having not really pieced this part together yet, but received silence as required (though numerous encouraging clues and much support). For as soon as I received a direct message I would be unwilling to deviate from it, and unable to do so in good faith, as a prophet would. Through struggling in faith, eventually I have gained a connection using the tools all have been given (knowledge of good and evil) and the reference guide that many have been given (The Bible), combined with my own specific set of talents which are a blessing to be sure, but are within a reasonable range with what others have here. Because I have remained faithful in this specific way, it seems that agreement can be reached without direct lines of interference, so agreement can be reached in areas outside of what has been directly communicated by God, but that will still be in line with the heart of God.

I once made an analogy comparing the message of God with a tree. Continuing that here, the message as directly given by God would be the trunk, maybe roots, and perhaps some other parts given would be like branches. One coming to faith on their own might be like branches or leaves, bearing fruit in their time. This is to say that this agreement can bloom in a variety of ways, based off of the resonance between the faithful one involved, and the message. Like the fig tree Jesus referenced, blooming to show summer is near in Matthew 24:32-35, all manner of resonant things will bloom from this tree, for it is a tree of life. Perhaps faith is a threshold in this sense, or perhaps the possibilities are based off of the resonance of one's faith with God's heart.

One thing I found interesting in this context is that at the end you have the two witnesses for the world, which is required to resolve a case in The Law. In this context, this verse feels like it makes much more sense now:
Luke 18:8
"I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

From a multiverse perspective, it feels like if Jesus did not find faith, the end would come as written, perhaps one of many similar outcomes depending on other factors, like attempting to steer away from a cataclysm that must happen, much like an actual day of birth, as seen from the perspective of those residing on the shell of an egg. Personally I feel this multiverse perspective is not necessary, as God's plan is perfect and requires only one shot (then again I may be misunderstanding how reality has been fundamentally arranged), but that Revelation is essentially a warning sign left up for the duration of the timeline, a timeline which has been stretched to allow for this plan to fully form, in order to show the field of possible outcomes in which this one shot traverses, perhaps to show God's glory, perhaps because this was what must be done.

If instead Jesus did find faith (in this case faith of a given resonance threshold), there would be someone to agree with, which is key because at this point there would be two to handle the case of the end of days, at which point I feel like unimaginable grace comes over the whole realm, because Jesus already knows the ropes, and the second is there to comprehend these things and provide agreement to a strong degree based on their own faith, on the fly.

I am picturing this grace coming over the world like a mist. The proximity of the other possessing this faith to the heart of God, which had to be done without direct interference for agreement in this context (whereas Jesus instead carries full information and completely faithful deliverance of this message) is what determines the tangibility and other factors of this mist of grace.

I, for one, am excited for this mist; it is the perfect cover for a heist, a heist that will result in something wonderful, though the details of it I cannot yet picture (since in this scenario I am the bright eyed guy brimming with faith, with no actual information, along for the ride).
