1. The path followed by a projectile flying or an object moving under the action of given forces.
One of the most amazing features of intelligence is the ability to calculate trajectory in our mind. To shoot at arrow and hit the target, one must be able to take into consideration forces and factors including distance, the strength of the bow, angle, gravity, wind and more in order to hit the target. There are similar calculations happening in the brain when one hits a golf or tennis ball. To hit a major league pitch takes amazingly fast reflexes and lighting fast trajectory calculations.
People can sense a trajectory when it comes to anticipating outcomes. A human can sense a pattern of events leading to a future event. We sense the trajectory in relationships and behaviors. We even have expressions for this sense - "I saw [that] coming" or "I knew [that] was going to happen" and "It was leading to [that.]"
From birth to death, there is a trajectory to an entire life. Some can even sense a trajectory in the life of someone else.
When people sense trajectory in the context of a desirable or undesirable outcome, people often have an emotional reaction. For example, a crowd of Golf enthusiasts watching a golf tournament will react from the moment the golf ball leaves the tee and even more so as it approaches the pin or possibly a hazzard.
Civilizations have a very long trajectory. When we look back over history we can see the trajectory leading to major events such as wars and economic disasters. We can see the trajectory of major advances in civilization such as flight, computers and weapons.
There are times when large portions of the population collectively sense trajectory and have a shared "community" reaction. Generally speaking this happens when the people have a shared interest or concern. A simple example of this is during a baseball championship game. Imagine the score is tied in extra innings and the batter hits a long fly ball. You can hear the emotional roar of the fans as they sence the trajectory from practically the moment the balls leaves the bat.
There is a trajectory to the planet's and the entire Universe. When God created the Universe and filled it with the planets and stars He set everything in motion and on a coarse. Astronomy and astronautics heavily analyze and calculate trajectory.
God gave the world the bible to show us the "End from the Beginning." Someone with the word of knowledge and prophecy sees the trajectory of events and nations. Prophets warn people and even kings of trajectories that lead to future natural and supernatural events. So it was with Daniel, Jonah, Jeremiah and all the Bible's prophets. God warns peoples, nations and the world. God prepares us. God gives us the power to change coarse - to alter the trajectory.
There is a growing group of people who are sensing the trajectory of God's plan for the world. There is an increasing sense that "something is coming." Many people are expressing concerns about where the world is heading.
People's expectations of biblical events are increasing. There is a feeling of a supernatural trajectory. It is inevitable that along with these shared expectations will be shared emotional reactions.
It is pretty obvious that there is an increasing sense that we are living in "End-times." That is a thought which is sure to produce fear in the hearts of many. As events unfold and people sence the trajectory of God's plan for the world, fear can lead to all out panic. If you have read the Book of Revelation you can certainly understand why!
Like all of our instincts, fear is by design. Our instincts serve a purpose. It is God's way warning us to perseve us.
Antisemitism has a trajectory that was set in motion in Genesis 16:1-2.
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne to him, and she had an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar.
"And Sarai said to Abram, "Behold now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing; please come to my handmaid; perhaps I will be built up from her." And Abram hearkened to Sarai's voice."
Jews don't see the logical explanation for Jew hatred because there isn't a logical explanation.
Evangelical Christians teach the reason. Here is one of hundreds of sermons explaining the hate.
God tells us that he knows the end from the beginning. There is a trajectory to the bible.
Isaiah 46:9-10 TLV
Remember the former things of old: For I am God—there is no other. I am God, and there is none like Me— declaring the end from the beginning, from ancient time, what is yet to come, saying, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will accomplish all that I please.’
God warns us in many places in the bible such as:
Matthew 24:15-25 TLV
“So when you see ‘the abomination of desolation,’which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. The one on the roof must not go down to take what is in his house, and the one in the field must not turn back to get his coat. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Pray that your escape will not happen in winter, or on Shabbat. For then there will be great trouble,such as has not happened since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. And unless those days were cut short, no one would be delivered. But for the sake of the chosen, those days will be cut short. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here’s the Messiah,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise upand show great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. See, I have told you beforehand."
Isaiah 17:1 TLV
The burden of Damascus: Behold, Damascus will cease as a city and will become a ruinous heap.
There are even Signs in the Heavens.
Are somebody who is sensing the trajectory of the times? Do you sense the fulfillment of bible prophecy? If so, you might be feeling accompanied emotions of fear and trepidation. What can you do?
DO WHAT THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH DID.
Jonah 3:6-9 TLV
When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his robe, covered himself in sackcloth, and sat in the ashes. He made a proclamation saying: “In Nineveh, by the decree of the king and his nobles, no man or beast, herd or flock, may taste anything. They must not graze nor drink water. But cover man and beast with sackcloth. Let them cry out to God with urgency. Let each one turn from his evil way and from the violence in his hands. Who knows? God may turn and relent, and turn back from his burning anger, so that we may not perish.”
A Great Fish delivered Jonah and Jonah delivered the word to the Gentile and the Ninevite heard God. Read the word of God and repent. Pray that God gives Israel and the world mercy and relents.
You can also do what David did. Read Psalms (Tehillim) for that.
