525. Are the Last Becoming First and the First Becoming Last?

In this Soul Elevation livestream, I explore the deeper spiritual meaning of Matthew 20:16 which says, “The last will be first and the first last.” This biblical verse contains layers of truth, and I share how I see its message unfolding in our world right now.

Many people interpret this verse literally, but Jesus taught through multi-layered symbolism. Today I explore how this teaching relates to collective awakening, inversion of corrupted systems, the fall of false power structures, and the rising strength of humble and service-driven souls.

I share examples of how this inversion is already happening in society, including the exposure of corruption, the collapse of systems built on greed, and the growing awakening of individuals who are reclaiming sovereignty and truth. This includes health systems, scientific institutions, public leadership, and industries that no longer align with higher consciousness.

We also explore the meaning of becoming more childlike and how joy, play, and the inner child can guide us back to our authentic vocation and divine purpose.

If this speaks to what you have been sensing, you are not alone. We are living in a time where illusions crumble and truth rises.

 

At the end of the livestream, I also share updates about The Miracle Summit, happening Saturday, December 6th at 3 PM Eastern. You can join for free or upgrade for replay access and incredible gifts from all nine speakers.

​[00:00:00] 

Kara Goodwin: Hello. Welcome to Soul Elevation Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm your host. Kara Goodwin, and I'm excited to be with you here today on Friday, December 5th, 2025. I wanna talk about a verse in the Bible that has been on my mind lately, and this is the verse. Matthew 2016, and it says that, let me actually get the actual quote.

Uh, so the last shall be first and the first last for many will be called, but few chosen. And there are a lot of ways that we can think about this verse. There are a lot of ways that, uh, the Bible works. The Bible is famous for being very [00:01:00] layered in meaning. Where you have the literal translation, a lot of people stop at the literal meaning.

So this particular verse of Matthew 2016 is about workers in a vineyard and the landowner and how he pays them. So you can look at that from a very literal perspective. But there are deeper meanings. And when Jesus spoke, he spoke in deeper meanings and he was conveying messages in many layers for different people.

If you have the eyes to see and the ease ears to hear, you can get different meaning. And I believe that this verse in particular is particularly, um, prophetic. I think that this verse is showing us what is coming and how we will [00:02:00] change. And so, and I see this happening already now, one, one way to think of this is those who are, you know, I, I hear people talk about this like the children will be the ones to inherit ha in, inherit the earth, right?

That's another. Um, thing that we hear, the children will inherit the earth. So the last, you know, the children kind of right now, they, they follow. What the grownups are doing. And so we might wanna think about this in terms of like, maybe in, we will become like children, that's another part of the Bible. We, the grownups will start to cherish more and look to children, look to the children within them.

In order to make decisions and to, because there's that joy within life. If we can let ourselves lead by joy and by play, then that might help us to find our way easier to find even what we are meant to do [00:03:00] as a vocation. What lights us up, what brings us joy, what makes us feel, what feels like play. Maybe that's where we should be spending more time.

Maybe that's what it's all about. I think another way, and then, then there's the, the humble, the meek, the ones who aren't striving to be on top, the ones who aren't taking advantage of other people. And so I like to think of it as those who have come forth in service in this life and truly in service to God.

To source who are living in accordance, who are not necessarily, when we look at them, they're not really the, uh, high and mighty, but their souls are very strong. And on the other side, they are the leaders. They are the, uh, the ones who, if you think of it in terms of, I don't really think of it this way, but you know who [00:04:00] reign in heaven, let's say.

Um, I think that we are starting to see some of this. There are, there are hints of this happening and one of the ways that I see this is with these files, these famous files as we're recording this, there's been a lot this year, in previous years about these files of a particular person who is no longer on this planet.

And there's been a lot of demand. They, people want the names on this list released. I think this is a, a very applicable way to think about the last becoming first and the first becoming last because the names that are on this list are people who are associated with some very serious crimes. I don't think there are a lot of people [00:05:00] out there anymore who don't think that are, are, um, the, the rulers of the, the country and of many countries.

I think a lot of people see a lot of corruption and they associate that with greed. And the same with, uh, leaders in the corporate world. You know, I, I think a lot of people can plainly see that there's a lot of greed. With power, positions of power, and those are very powerful positions. That's the way that we have society structured.

But the crimes that are associated with this list are almost unama, unimaginable. I mean, it, it's, it's almost too much for the mind to even be able to. Comprehend the accusations associated with the names on this list and the, the crimes go way beyond greed. They go [00:06:00] way beyond power. It's perverse, it's torturous, and it deals with.

Very young people and it's, it's heartbreaking. And if anything ever come, ever actually comes where we have consensus and there's, you know, public, uh, release of the names, those names that are in the top of their field, whether that is in. Business IT leaders of industry, titans of industry, whether it's, uh, leaders of public service, as we might, as it's meant to be, they will become last.

They will topple. There is no way for them to continue to hold the power that they have because it's an illusion. Nobody will support them if [00:07:00] the truth actually comes out. And so that's one way of, I see this last becoming, the first, becoming last, where it's like, oh, these people that we idolize, that we worship, you know, celebrities that we worship and they're involved with this darkness that we, you know, that it has been hidden.

If that comes to light, that changes everything in terms of what society thinks of them and the power that they have. It will be stripped, it will absolutely be stripped. And another example of this is people who go through, uh, you know, lot of people go through awakenings from a health journey perspective where they.

Have a health crisis and they don't get results in the traditional way. And it leads them to start doing research. [00:08:00] And as they do research, they start seeing that things that they trusted in terms of the way society has been structured in that aspect of life, in the aspect of how we take care of ourselves, how we feed ourselves.

How we, um, try to get help when we're sick that those. Industries are. There is a lot of corruption. Again, there's so much corruption there, and when the onion starts getting peeled, I know that there are a lot of you out here out there who are. Watching this, maybe watching the recording and you know exactly what I'm talking about because you've been there yourself, your eyes have been open to things that are not what they seem.

They're not what we've been sold as citizens in our society. You know, the truth of what we think, what we think [00:09:00] is the truth, what we're fed as the truth is the inversion. Of what the actual truth is. So again, you know, we may have very, very profitable industries that we are feeding because we trust it.

And as we learn and as things come to light and as we start to expand our consciousness and we can hold more truth, then. We start withdrawing from those systems. It is already happening. It is already happening with a lot of people in my world. A lot of people in my world, the walls are coming down, the veils are coming off in terms of the things that they trusted, that they now have done research and they've realized that there's something else going on.

And they're no longer, they're trying to figure out how to stop [00:10:00] participating in that. And so the more people that extract themselves from these things, these very lucrative business models, then. They're not gonna be profitable anymore. They won't, they won't have the, the energy, the, um, participation and they will not be able to be sustained.

So again, we may have like an, we may have entire industries that are, are very, very profitable that people. Pay for buy into, and they, you know, as people extract themselves for that, then that can't be sustained. So it is, it's, it's indus It's interesting because the society that we're in is an inverted society.

What we are sold in so many different ways, so many different. [00:11:00] Ways that we look into this one prism of life, the life experience, and we can look at it in terms of health. We can look at it in terms of education. I mean, that's another thing as as people change. You know, we kind of have this religion of science in a certain way where people, you know, as long as science has proved it, then they're willing to accept it.

That has been, that was my approach for a long time, honestly. And you know, if you could show me a study that backs something up, I would really pay attention. And a lot of people are starting to realize that there's a lot of money, you know, a lot of science is. It's funding, right? So if you want to be able to research something, it takes money.

You have to get your funding for it. That means that there are people who are pulling the strings who have an agenda and they have something that they want proven. [00:12:00] And that, I mean, there are scientists whistle blowing about this. I'm, I'm reading a book about it right now. I mean, it's not the whole part of the book, but it talks about the disillusion, how this author was a scientist and became disillusioned because of this funding issue.

And you don't have the freedom that, you know, you, you want to get something, you're gonna get funding for something that's sexy in terms of, you know, it's gonna. Really wow people because it's gonna get more attention and then it's gonna be better for the funding. And, you know, it's going to, and of course, the people who have the money to fund these things have, why do they want it funded?

Why do they want this proven? So, um, and that's not, you know, it's not across the board, but there is a lot of that going on. And the more that people start to recognize, wait a minute, are these results even true? Is this even something that I can, um. That I can believe or is this, and is there an agenda behind this?

Then, you know, [00:13:00] even science people start to think about scientific, quote unquote scientific research in a different way, understanding that it is fallible. It is, you know, there are a lot of examples of fallible research and, and so the things that we think we can trust, there's still human beings behind it and.

They are, you know, it's just because somebody's wearing a lab coat for example, doesn't mean that they're not going to succumb to human greed or, um, being pushed around or whatever it might be. They're, it's, they're, there are humans behind this. So again, something that we might not have thought about very much before, and we live very much, or at least I live very much in a society where science is like.

Top echelon, that's what you trust. If there's scientific backing behind it, then you know it, it people, then it gets people's [00:14:00] belief. And so that's another example of a, the prism where people can start to look at that differently and it will change their experience. It'll change. Um, you know, this like the be all and end all is if you have scientific research.

Well, if people stop. Trusting that the way that they trust it, then it doesn't, you know, the first becomes last again. So there are a lot of different ways that this applies. That the first will become last and the last will become first. And I think that it is something that we're starting to see, and I am.

Curious to see how, I don't know. I don't know in my lifetime if like how dramatic that will be, how dramatic that will come. I do think there will be a lot of big changes within my lifetime, but I think, you know, even in the next, it might take a few [00:15:00] generations, but maybe even in a couple of generations will be living in a very different society and um, and we will be, you know, sometimes in hindsight we will.

Notice just how different society is when that inversion of the, the illusion that we're sold once that illusion crumbles and people start to see the truth and how that flips things.
