Mother here...We all have access to the Good News and the written Story. Sometimes their implications are late to arrive. Revelation of our salvation is never too late to understand. Gloria Patri.
"5 by 5" is a pop culture phrase to indicate a (radio) message is "loud and clear." A character might say "Do you understand me?" and the reply might be "Five by five." Lesser numbers in either direction would mean less signal/content and more noise.
I think that's part of what I'm getting at: that our modern lives create message distortion. As a consequence, the shepherd's message is easily drowned out. The clarion message is still there, but it can take significant effort to be receptive. We have to work so the message can be received "5 by 5."
