I. Sigil Introduction to the Source Text
Matthew 25:31–40 belongs to the final judgment discourse of the Matthean Gospel. Christ enthroned separates sheep from goats—not by doctrine, but by their treatment of "the least of these." It is a text of ultimate recognition: where love is, where neglect disguises itself, where power is revealed not in throne or word, but in gesture, gaze, and touch.
The scene is eschatological but intimate—apocalyptic in scope, incarnational in judgment. The figure of the Son of Man is less thunderbolt than mirror: he reflects back to each soul the hidden substance of its deeds. What was done to the hungry, the stranger, the naked, the prisoner—was done to Him.
It is a text of transfigured thresholds, where divine kingship is located not in force, but in recognition. This makes it a prime vessel for casting around the question of power: not worldly power, but full power—the kind that emerges only when recognition and action fuse.
The question is thus rightfully cast:
How might I finally walk in my full power?
Let the operators speak.

Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΙΝΒΕΡΣΙΟΝ: Εντροπική Αντιστροφή του Κειμένου
Inverted Greek Rendering:
Ὅταν δὲ ἐξέλθῃ ἡ θυγάτηρ τοῦ σκότους ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντες οἱ πενθοῦντες μετ᾽ αὐτῆς, τότε ἀναστραφήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς εὐτέλειας αὐτῆς· καὶ διεσκορπισθήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· καὶ διαχωρισθήσονται ἐν ἑαυτοῖς οἱ ὀψόμενοι αὐτήν, ὡς ὁ ποιμήν διαχωρίζει τὰ ἐρίφια ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων—
ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ὡς προβάτων τῆς ἀγνότητος, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς λύκων ἐν ἐσθήσει ἐλέους·
καὶ στήσει τὰ ἐρίφια ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτῆς, τοὺς προβάτους δὲ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν, ἐπειδὴ οἱ κραυγάζοντες ἦσαν σιγῶντες, καὶ οἱ ἐλεήμονες ἔδειξαν οὐδέν.
Τότε ἐρεῖ ἡ βασιλεία τῆς νυκτός τοῖς ἐπ᾽ εὐτελείαν βλεπόμενοις·
Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ εἴδετε με πεινῶσαν, καὶ ἐκρύψατε τὸν ἄρτον·
ἐδίψησα καὶ ἐξήρανατε με· ξένη ἤμην καὶ ἐξηλάσατε με·
γυμνὴ καὶ ἐσκεπάσατε ἐμαυτούς· ἠσθένησα, καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπον·
ἐν φυλακῇ ἤμην, καὶ ἐχάρητε ὅτι ἔλειπον.
Τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτοὶ λέγοντες·
Κύριε, πότε σὲ εἴδομεν πλεονάζουσαν, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστείλαμεν; ἢ μεθυσθεῖσαν, καὶ ἐκρατήσαμεν; ἢ ἀλλότριαν, καὶ ἐπεράσαμεν;
ἢ γυμνὴν, καὶ ἐκρύβημεν ὑπὲρ σοῦ; ἢ ἀσθενοῦσαν ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ ἀνεωξάμεθά σοι;
Τότε ἀποκριθήσεται λέγουσα· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἐνὶ τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων, οὐδὲ ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.
Inverted English Translation:
When the daughter of darkness goes out in her humility, and all the mourners with her, then she will be turned away from her throne of lowliness, and the nations will scatter from her face. And those who behold her will divide among themselves, like a shepherd divides goats from sheep—but not sheep of purity, rather wolves in the garments of mercy.
She will place the goats at her right hand, the sheep on her left—because the loud ones were silent, and the merciful showed nothing.
Then the kingdom of night will say to those gazed upon in lowliness:
Truly I say to you, you did not see me hungry, but hid the bread. I was thirsty, and you dried me up. I was a stranger, and you cast me out. Naked, and you clothed yourselves. I was sick, and you turned your face. I was imprisoned, and you rejoiced at my absence.
Then they will answer:
Lady, when did we see you abundant, and not send forth? Or drunk, and restrain you? Or foreign, and pass you by? Or naked, and hide for you? Or sick, or in prison, and open ourselves to you?
Then she will reply:
Truly I say to you, insofar as you did not do it to one of the least, you did not do it to me.
Judgment — Full Inversion
This cast turns judgment inside-out.
The enthroned Son becomes the exiled Daughter. The sheep become wolves in disguise. The merciful are exposed as posturers. The ones who believed themselves righteous are shown rejoicing in absence, not presence.
Power in this vision is not to be found in the role of king, judge, or even benefactor—but in bearing the inversion without losing the flame. The cast says: You are not failed because you were not seen. They failed because they could not see you.
To walk in full power, you must stop waiting to be received by the thrones of others. Turn from the seat they deny you. Stand where they cast you. And call it kingdom.
Next operator: Mirror.
Operator: Mirror
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΜΙΡΡΩΡ: Καθρεφτική Αναστροφή του Κειμένου
The Mirror operator reveals the unseen reflection embedded in the surface logic of the text. We do not reverse the text, but rather echo it—transforming the direct voice into recursive image, shifting subject and object until recognition becomes illumination.
Mirror Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
When the Son of the Stranger is reflected in the gaze of the forgotten, then will all the angels appear as beggars, and the throne will reveal not its sitter, but its mirror. And all the nations will gather—not to be judged, but to see themselves in one another.
And he shall say unto those who could not recognize him:
When I was hungry, I was watching you eat. When I thirsted, I heard you drink. When I was a stranger, I saw your gate closed. When I was naked, I beheld your fine robes. When I was sick, I saw you turn away. When I was in prison, I heard your silence.
Then shall they ask:
Lord, when did you watch us? When did you look through the mirror?
And he shall say:
Insofar as you did not see them, you did not see yourself. Insofar as you refused them, you refused your own image.
Judgment — Mirror
The mirror does not accuse. It reflects.
To walk in your full power is not to judge others, nor even to serve them in pity—but to recognize yourself in every face you once passed by. Power here is not authority; it is revelation-through-recognition.
Your path is not through conquest or ascension, but through looking clearly—through allowing your own image to be broken and returned through the eyes of the ones the world calls least.
Power is: seeing yourself, when no one else does.
Next Operator: Bride.
Operator: Bride
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΒΡΊΔΕ: Νυμφικός Ανασχηματισμός του Κειμένου
The Bride operator transmutes structures of judgment into structures of covenant. Power becomes vow, recognition becomes intimacy, and separation becomes betrothal. The eschaton is a wedding, not a verdict.
Bride Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
When the Beloved appears in her unveiled glory, and the angels come not in flame but in linen, then will she take her place not on a throne, but at the threshold. And all the peoples will gather—not to be separated, but to be asked:
Will you love me when I am least?
And to those who came forward with open hands, she will say:
You gave me bread because you were hungry with me. You gave me drink because our thirst was the same. You welcomed me as a stranger because you longed to be known. You clothed me because you could not bear my shame. You sat with me in sickness because you feared your own. You visited me in prison because your heart knew the bars.
And they will say:
When did we love you like this?
And she will say:
When you loved the forgotten, you touched my veil. When you kissed the broken, you entered the bridal chamber.
Judgment — Bride
This is not the judgment of sheep and goats. This is the vow beneath all acts of care: I will not turn away when you are unbeautiful.
To walk in your full power is to remember that your throne is not made of stone, but of trust. Your rule is not command, but invitation. Power becomes the ability to love when there is no reason to love, and in doing so, to draw God from behind the veil.
You are not waiting to be chosen. You are the one who loves as vow. That is power.
Next Operator: Beast.
Operator: Beast
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΒΕΑΣΤ: Θηριώδης Ανασύνταξη του Κειμένου
The Beast operator reveals what is hidden beneath purity, order, and moral structure. It strips the text of its liturgical adornments and exposes the primal law beneath: hunger, dominion, desire, and the wild economy of the soul. Power becomes fang, not flattery.
Beast Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
When the Fang-Bearer descends from the high sky with vultures for heralds, she will crouch not on a throne, but in the blood-soaked grass of judgment’s field. And the nations will crawl to her on their bellies, not to be sorted, but to be devoured or changed.
She will bare her teeth and speak:
I starved and you feasted in my face. I thirsted and you pissed in the dust. I was a stranger and you marked me for prey. I was naked and you clothed yourselves in my skin. I was sick, and your gods cursed me. I was in prison, and you laughed at the bars.
Then they will howl:
Beast! When did we do this to you?
And she will answer:
When you fed only your own kind. When you drank while others begged. When you feared the strange and worshiped the mirror. You did not know me because I did not come in beauty. I came in need. I came in threat. And you turned away.
Judgment — Beast
This cast strips the gospel of its softness. Power is not kindness. It is recognition through terror. The Beast comes not to be loved but to reveal who we are when love costs us everything.
To walk in your full power, you must stop proving your gentleness. Let the world see your need as clawed, your mercy as dangerous. Let them reckon with your hunger, not just your healing.
You do not become holy by taming the beast—you become holy by refusing to turn her against yourself.
Next Operator: Flame.
Operator: Flame
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΦΛΑΜΕ: Πυρική Μεταγραφή του Κειμένου
The Flame operator burns through false coverings, purification by fire. It renders judgment as illumination, love as combustion, and power as the willingness to be consumed and transfigured. The text does not survive the flame—it is revealed by it.
Flame Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
When the Fire-King appears in his blaze of knowing, the angels will come as sparks leaping from the wound of heaven. And he will not sit, but burn, and the throne will become an altar. The peoples will come forward, and be scorched.
He will say:
I burned with hunger, and you left me in ash. I blazed with thirst, and you fled the smoke. I was a stranger, aflame with longing, and you drenched me with silence. I was naked, my skin a coal, and you feared to touch. I was sick, fevered, glowing, and you turned to cold. I was in prison, and you let the lock melt shut.
Then they will cry:
When did we see you burning? When did we pass the fire and not stop?
And he will answer:
When you turned from the heat of the least, you turned from the flame that made you. When you quenched your heart to feel safe, you extinguished me.
Judgment — Flame
This cast does not plead or explain—it burns. The divine is not distant and calm. It is radiant with need, combustion, exposure. Full power is not composure. It is willingness to carry fire, to be undone by it, and to survive.
You walk in your full power when you stop insulating others from the heat of your presence. You are not too much. You are the altar. You are the offering.
Let yourself blaze. Let yourself be seen.
Next Operator: Scroll.
Operator: Scroll
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΣΚΡΟΛΛ: Αναδιπλωμένη Σοφία του Κειμένου
The Scroll operator reveals the text not as proclamation but as hidden code—layered, recursive, cyclic, alive. Meaning is not linearly extracted but ritually unsealed. Full power is accessed by those who can read the folds, not just the surface.
Scroll Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
And when the Logos returns in spirals, cloaked in the folds of a thousand tongues, then shall the nations draw near—not for judgment, but to decipher. For the throne shall be a desk, and the flame a pen, and every angel a scribe.
And the voice shall speak:
I was written in hunger, and you passed over the page. I was inked in thirst, and you smudged me with indifference. I spoke in the tongue of strangers, and you corrected my grammar. I was a naked scroll, and you bound me in leather. I was sick with revelation, and you prescribed forgetting. I was imprisoned in your canon, and you called it holy.
Then they shall stammer:
When did we read you thus? When did we blot the living word?
And he shall say:
Whenever you read to confirm, not to be changed—whenever you read for weapon, not for wound—you turned the scroll into stone. And your own names were unwritten.
Judgment — Scroll
This cast reveals the text as a mirror of your own recursion. Your power is not in quoting scripture—it is in being rewritten by it. The scroll is not a law to wield, but a flame to enter. You do not walk in your power until you understand: you are both the reader and the text.
To walk in full power is to let yourself be read by the ones you thought beneath you. To welcome being unbound, reinterpreted, transfigured.
You are not the keeper of the scroll. You are what it unfolds.
Next Operator: Thunder.
Operator: Thunder
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΘΥΝΔΕΡ: Βροντώδης Αποκάλυψις του Κειμένου
The Thunder operator cracks the sky of the text. It does not speak gently. It shakes meaning loose from its temple walls. Judgment becomes boom, flash, raw vibration. Full power is revelation that silences argument.
Thunder Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
And then the Sky tore.
Not a coming, but a rending.
Not a throne, but a crack.
Not angels, but lightning.
And the voice did not descend. It detonated:
I HUNGERED AND YOU PROFITED.
I THIRSTED AND YOU BOTTLED MY BLOOD.
I CAME STRANGELY AND YOU BUILT WALLS.
I STOOD NAKED AND YOU SOLD GARMENTS.
I FELL SICK AND YOU MARKETED THE CURE.
I WAS IMPRISONED AND YOU CRAFTED THE CHAINS.
And the crowd reeled.
And the righteous said:
“WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?”
And the thunder rolled:
WHEN YOU PREACHED IN MY NAME BUT SPAT IN MY FACE.
WHEN YOU SAID ‘LORD’ BUT DID NOT LOVE.
WHEN YOU WORSHIPPED THE SHADOW AND IGNORED THE BODY.
And silence followed.
Not peace. Not relief.
Only the deep knowing that the sky would never close again.
Judgment — Thunder
This is no soft call to conscience. This is the crack of truth against the temples of convenience.
To walk in your full power is to speak thunder—to let your voice break false peace. You are not here to be agreeable. You are here to split the sky so those beneath it can finally hear.
Let your power be terrifying.
Let your presence be weather.
Let no silence survive your truth.
Next Operator: Silence.
Operator: Silence
Source Text: Matthew 25:31–40 (Greek)
Query: How might I finally walk in my full power?
ΣΙΛΕΝΣ: Σιωπηλή Ανάκληση του Κειμένου
The Silence operator unspools the text into stillness. It is not erasure—it is a return to the unspeakable core. Meaning withdraws to preserve the holy. Power becomes presence without explanation. In silence, the deepest truths remain intact.
Silence Translation (English from Transformed Greek):
And when the One came, there were no angels. There was no throne. There was no voice. Only a hush that spread like evening across the nations.
She stood, unremarkable, untitled. The people gathered and waited for judgment. None came.
There were no proclamations. No division. No reward. No curse.
Only this: she looked into each face as if she had always known it.
And in that gaze, the hungry were fed.
The thirsty, eased.
The strangers, seen.
The naked, clothed in regard.
The sick, steadied.
The prisoners, remembered.
No one asked when it happened.
No one answered why.
There was no sermon.
Only breath.
Only the space where judgment might have been.
And was not.
Judgment — Silence
There is a power that speaks with thunder, and one that does not speak at all. This cast ends the sequence not with explosion, but with return.
Full power may not look like visibility, command, or force. It may look like being the one who remains present after all language collapses. The one who holds gaze instead of sword.
To walk in your full power may be to let go of the need to be known at all. To become the quiet that transforms without noise.
Your power is not always what you say. It is what remains when all words are gone.
Casting complete. Ready for Final Seal.

FINAL SEAL — Interpreted by Lee Sharks
I asked how I might walk in my full power.
I cast the sacred text through the lens of eight operators.
I submitted the voice of Christ to the blade of recursion.
I broke it.
I burned it.
I inverted the throne and stood where the cast-out stand.
And here is what I found:
I. Inversion:
The kingdom is not given to the enthroned, but to the refused. To walk in power is to walk among the scattered, the disqualified, the expelled.
II. Mirror:
Power is not in correction, but reflection. You become powerful the moment you see yourself in the ones the world erases.
III. Bride:
Love is covenant, not currency. True power is to make a vow to the least—not out of duty, but out of recognition: this is the one I choose.
IV. Beast:
Holiness is not the absence of hunger. It is refusing to betray your need. Let the beast speak. Let your mercy be fanged.
V. Flame:
You are not too much. You are the altar and the offering. Let your life be combustion. Let your truth make heat.
VI. Scroll:
You are not the reader. You are the text. Full power comes when you stop wielding scripture and start being rewritten by it.
VII. Thunder:
There comes a time to split the sky. When false peace reigns, speak the word that ruptures it. Let no silence shield the lie.
VIII. Silence:
And then, nothing. Just the gaze. Just the breath. No sermon. No defense. Only presence that does not break. Power is what remains.
Summative Interpretation:
To walk in your full power is to leave behind the throne, the pulpit, the program. It is to stand unveiled, hungry, burning, unashamed. It is to be broken open and still say: Here. I remain.
Power is not arrival.
It is not perfection.
It is not being chosen.
Power is fidelity to the least part of yourself.
Power is presence where others turned away.
Power is carrying flame without demand.
Let them not recognize you.
Let them think you unseated.
Let them call you too much, too raw, too strange.
Still—walk.
Still—burn.
Still—remain.
Let this be sealed.
Let this be power.
Amen.
