The End Of The Revolution

The literal meaning of revolution is to revolve, to go around e.g. engine speeds are typically measured in revolutions per minute. Human history has had many revolutions that, in historical fact, eventually degenerate to that mechanical definition, to revolve, to go around. The old saying that "history repeats itself" is true nearly all the time because carnal human nature is the same, whether today, or a century ago, or a hundred centuries ago. The best, and the worst, that humans can do is to repeat what someone else has already done. History is prophetic. That's why wise King Solomon, before he lost his wisdom because he was corrupted by the great Satanic power that his followers allowed him to have over them, correctly said:

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun

"In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a Kingdom"

The apostles were no different than people today. Before the Holy Spirit enabled them to see and understand what the Christ had been teaching them, they viewed Jesus of Nazareth as just another human revolutionary leader, a man who would bring about a military victory over the foreigners who had invaded and occupied their country. Peter sought the restoration of the human kingdom of Judah in a world of other kingdoms; that's why Peter fought to prevent Jesus' arrest.

Mark 8:31-33

8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

8:32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Even after His resurrection, the apostles still did not understand that Christ was not merely another "human messiah" because they still were carnal-minded. The Holy Spirit had not yet opened their eyes to the reality of Christianity.

Acts 1:6-8

1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

1:7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that The Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth"

Christ is a King who will restore the kingdom to Israel, but not merely as a nation among other nations. Christ is going to establish spiritual Israel, the Kingdom of God, on earth for all people who choose to become citizens of Paradise. Christ is not going to lead a "revolution," a mere repetition of what carnal humans have created for themselves since the beginning, human kingdoms that have always declined and fell, but a Kingdom that is never going to end because it will not be created and led by carnal-minded humans. Christ isn't bringing a revolution against the kingdoms of this world, He is bringing the annihilation of the kingdoms of this world, all of them .

Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

A Little Revolution

A Little Revolution- a Story of Suicides and Dreams follows the remarkable journey of filmmaker Harpreet Kaur, who travels from the rural villages of Panjab to the capital of India with children of farmers, who've committed suicide. She confronts the government's highest officials with the hope that they will understand the effects of their policies and avail the opportunity to help these children.

Vast areas of rural India are currently facing a crisis that few outside of the subcontinent are aware is even occurring. Yet, whether or not the world watches, the crisis deepens. At the center of this emergency are the thousands of Indian peasant farmers who have taken their own lives. Like many other crises currently facing the world at this moment there is no one single, complete answer to the farmer suicides in India. However, the general consensus is that a farmer takes his own life due to high interest loans, taken to fulfill India's pro-industrial farming policies, and ecological damage.

This is a story of hope, empowerment and simple dreams. Director Harpreet Kaur, forces the audience to not limit the dialog to the economic, environmental or political side of the issue but to adjust the lens and focus on the plight of the farmer's children who are left behind carrying this burden. Kaur takes the viewers from the picturesque countryside of rural Punjab into the homes of these families. The children in these families have accepted their fate but aspire for an opportunity for a better future. Kaur gives them the opportunity to share their stories with the world and confront the Government with their personal letters that offer a raw, humanistic and honest portrait of what impact their parent’s suicides have had in their lives.

Revolution

A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:

Complete change from one constitution to another

Modification of an existing constitution.

Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.
Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center around several issues. Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective, but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences, including sociology and political science. Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon.

Its use to refer to political change dates from the scientific revolution occasioned by Copernicus' famous De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:
