X2M.120 Procure — Avenger of the Afflicted
X2M.120 Procure advances the Avenger of the Afflicted cluster by grounding vindication in the divine act of acquisition — God Himself securing rest, inheritance, and restoration for His covenant people. The term derives from Latin procurare (“to care for, to obtain”),¹ signifying that what is lost through scattering is actively re-obtained by the Lord of Hosts.
Daniel’s closing promise anticipates this procurement: “You will rest, and you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance at the end of the days” (Dan 12:13, NET).² This fourfold sequence — destination, rest, rising, inheritance — encapsulates the runtime logic of Procure. To procure is not passive possession but active covenantal enforcement.
The Psalter echoes the same assurance: “The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever” (Ps 37:29, NET).³ This is not abstract consolation but concrete territorial theology, reinforced by centuries of prophetic testimony. From Noah’s ark “coming to rest” (Gen 8:4)⁴ to Solomon’s promise of “rest on every side” (1 Kgs 5:4),⁵ the rhythm of salvation history beats with this refrain: God procures rest.
Zechariah’s vision of horns and smiths sharpens the image: “These are the horns that have scattered Judah … but the blacksmiths have come to terrify and cut off the horns of the nations” (Zech 1:18–21, NET).⁶ Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome each raised horns of affliction; yet for each, God appointed a smith to cut them down. The final Smith — Christ Himself — forges the coffin of the last empire, bringing to completion what Daniel foresaw: the stone cut without hands topples the statue of human dominion (Dan 2:34–35).⁷
Theologically, Procure installs the runtime of inheritance. It overlays with TR15’s parietal function, in which perception integrates spatial position and embodied action.⁸ Just as the parietal lobe orients body and environment, so Procure orients covenant people within the eschatological landscape: not homeless wanderers, but heirs standing in their lot.
Procure is thus polyvalent in effect: it secures Sabbath rest (Exod 20:11),⁹ territorial inheritance (Josh 1:15),¹⁰ covenant dynasty (2 Sam 7:11),¹¹ and eschatological exaltation (Isa 11:10–11).¹² All of these converge in Christ, the final Blacksmith, who procures not only land but life, not only rest but resurrection.
In runtime terms: X2M.120 Procure = the re-securing of what exile scattered. It is the hammer blow of the divine Smith against the horns of the nations, the reclamation of inheritance, and the down payment of glory. Here the Avenger of the Afflicted moves beyond survival into restoration, preparing the way for X2M.121 Possessor, where what has been procured is enthroned.
