The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:8-10

The true disciple of Jesus daily denies self, is crucified with Christ, never looks to the world. Only the accursed do so (Jeremiah 17:5-6). Never does the true follower of Christ look anywhere except to Christ. He seeks not man’s “professional help” which is laughable. He looks to the Word of God! – “But his delight is in the law (Word) of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psalms 1:2)

“According as his divine power hath given unto us ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:3-4

“All things that pertain unto life and godliness” are found in the “exceeding great and precious promises” God’s Word.

Any person pushing anyone to “get professional help” is a messenger of Satan.

The godly encourage people to seek God directly, in His Word. God fearing saints seek to help others see their need to get into God’s Word for themselves. The wicked among us parrot, regurgitate psychobabble. Beware!

No one needs “professional help.” That’s ridiculous. Repent and cease pushing Satan’s lies! We are all sinners and we need the healing of our Maker which exclusively comes through Jesus Christ revealed in the Word of God. Everything else presenting itself as the “answer” is a lie to exploit people. Repent and follow Jesus is the only remedy. Jesus came to forgive our sins and heal our broken hearts (Luke 4:18; 1 Timothy 1:15).

“The Bible tells us that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. The Bible doesn’t say that husbands must meet their wives’ emotional needs and love their wives with their love language. This is extra-biblical nonsense that is destroying marriages.” Lori Alexander, The Transformed Wife

Wives and Husbands

Husbands are called of God to “nourisheth and cherisheth” their wives and yet what does such entail?

Ephesians 5

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

To say that the husband is responsible for the wife’s “emotional needs” would be to say that Christ is responsible for the “emotional needs” of His body. Well, He provides the blessed “fruit of the Spirit” in us as we abide, remain in Him (Galatians 5:22-23). The LORD expressly requires that we seek His face and as we do He floods our being with His blessed soundness, wholeness, His love, joy, peace, etc.

Dear beloved individual: You’ve either got a life with Christ or you don’t. No one can do this for you! You must seek His holy face for yourself. And, He holds you 100% personally accountable to do such! No one on the planet can seek God for me! He requires it of me, personally. Of this truth, the old folks used to say “There are no grandchildren in Christ’s kingdom.”

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.” Ezekiel 18:20

When a man lays down his life for his wife, cherishing, protecting, and providing for her, she will be a blessed woman, whether she realizes that or not. Yet no other human being can fulfill, satiate another human being. That takes the LORD working in the hearts of men/women as they individually seek His holy face, right?

The demons who run holly weird have intentionally dished out unlimited delusions over the decades and those lies have come home to roost. This is touched on by a sister in Christ when she writes:

“Being in the world, but not of it, I often have to remind myself of that . . . that my husband is not there to meet my emotional needs like they do for their wives on TV – one reason I quit watching that carnal trash a long time ago. The struggle is real but I am not ignorant of the devil’s devices and I know how to use the weapons God gave me and as I am personally seeking His face, I always win the battle, glory to God! I was always an obedient wife (mostly, sort-of ) and tried hard to be as Godly as possible but since I’ve been reading the transformed wife’s posts on Facebook, things are waaaay better! I see that I haven’t been nearly as obedient, kind and honoring to my darling gift of a husband, hand picked for me by God himself, over 33 years ago. The Holy Spirit has fine-tuned our relationship!”

As I read your words…. it occurs that it seems that the way Satan has worked was to make it look like the husband is beholden to his wife, having a sap type posture where he’s falsely obligated to somehow make sure his wife is happy, all the time. Nonsense. No one is. There’s a time and season to everything! Read Ecclesiastes 3.

The cross Christ prescribed for all who will truly follow Him is always His only answer to us – in the divine economy which is a cross economy (Luke 9:23-24; John 3:30; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Colossians 3:3, etc.).

“Apart from Christ there is no life. He must increase, but I must decrease to know Christ and be known by Him, to abide, to walk each day with Jesus. This is the life we all need, this – not the things of this world! O God, break me until I am completely and fully yours.” Jon Crane

Read this and perhaps reflect upon all the mountains of teachings out there about men meeting the “emotional needs” of their wives. Totally false. Isn’t that something GOD alone can do? This lie alone has destroyed countless homes. We better repent afresh and be conformed to the Word. The Word, the LORD never holds a mere man, a sinner, accountable to meet the “emotional needs” of any other person. To cherish one’s wife is one thing, and to do for her what she alone can do by seeking God, is yet another. EACH individual must repent and seek the LORD’s face for himself/herself. It’s only then that God’s perfect love will cast out all fear (1 John 4:18).

Each and every single individual is personally accountable to God to repent, believe on Christ, and thereafter abide in Christ, upholding Heaven’s KING as the very “first love,” the first priority of his life (John 14-15; 17:3; Revelation 2:4-5).

“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” Deuteronomy 24:16

“If we depended on human vessels to fulfill our emotional needs, we’d be in a heap of trouble. Our needs can only be met through Jesus our Husband, our Maker. ISAIAH 54.” Anita Villarreal

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

Like a good man, an unmarried man – If you don’t prove, if you don’t truly desire him, if you can live without him – he’s not going to marry you. Jesus is the Great Bridegroom and His bride are those who truly want Him, who commune with Him, who can’t live without Him (Matthew 25:1-13; Ephesians 5:25-30; Revelation 19:7-10).

Your personal relationship with the LORD is paramount above all else – above all other relationships. It’s only when He is pouring into us – as we personally seek His face – that His love will dwell in and emanate through us to others, in the relationships He’s given us! Think about the shape of the cross – it is first upward (vertical) and only then is it outward (horizontal). Now watch these words of our LORD and the order of priority of placement of the two commands upon which the whole law rests:

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40

Jesus must be the “first love” of each of His saints (Revelation 2:4-5). No person can take that place. Your wife or your husband cannot replace the Almighty and your place, your fellowship with Him. We must cease immediately looking to any man/women and it’s time to seek the face of your God. What do the first two of the ten commandments say? When we are full of Christ, full of the Holy Ghost due to seeking His holy face, His presence will flow through us into the lives of those around us. Memorize 1 Chronicles 16:11 today.

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.” Psalms 27:4

“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” Psalms 27:8

Beware of the Psychobabble

There’s no guarantee at all that just because one person obeys God that the other will also. There’s no guarantee that if I treat you well, that you will absolutely return goodness my way. Else why would verses appear like this following verse in God’s Word?

“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15

Those who repay good for evil and those who repay evil for good bring a curse upon themselves.

“Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.” Proverbs 17:13

The LORD has given every individual free will, the choice, the ability to exercise themself in good or evil (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15).

This is a general Bible truth, principle. A number of years ago there was a heretical book circulating that was teaching men that if there were ANY problems in their marriage, it was ALL (100%) the man’s fault. Not. This cannot be determined either for the husband or the wife in any marriage. 100% nonsense. That book taught that if the man cherished and loved and laid down his life for his wife, that 100% of the times the woman would be perfectly content, have her emotional needs met, etc. Not. That would mean that because Jesus perfectly served every man and woman, every sinner, by coming to die for them, buying them back, that it’s guaranteed that every sinner will absolutely respond perfectly with an affirmative worship and obedience to God. Delusional. Jesus told us that most are going to hell by their own choice (Matthew 7:13-14).

God requires each individual to know and worship Him and be blessed with His love, a sound heart, a sound mind, etc., as a result. The man, husband, does not take the place of the Almighty. In fact, Jesus teaches us that if we love ANYONE, and that would include our wife or husband, more than we love Him, we are not worthy of Him.

“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:37

We should always remember that God is the perfect Father, has never done anyone wrong without reason, and yet many, His own people have throughout history forsaken and done Him wrong. The perfect wife, the perfect performance of a wife doesn’t guarantee one ounce of obedience or right doing from her husband and vice versa.

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I have long believed that God gave men power–strength. But He gave women something more powerful–that I think many don’t realize–influence. (We can use it on these husbands too–to our benefit as well. Oh I am so bad!) So the demonic, knowing that, went after the women. And now the women are suffering the consequences. But among those at fault I would call out our church pastors. I tell you when I was a young Christian, those pastors would preach until you’d feel the flames of Hell. I will admit, we didn’t have big seeker friendly mega churches then. I mean, who wants to hear about the flames of Hell!?” Arlean

REPLY:

Yes God has such a beautiful “everybody wins” plan….that “influence” if you will, comes not with manipulation and self-serving agenda like Jezebel and Delilah, but rather that described in 1 Peter 3 of a “chaste conversation coupled with fear… the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price…”

Wives and Husbands

1 Peter 3
1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Sister Arlean writes:

“I became aware of the order of the home as a relatively young Christian. My husband was not saved at the time. Raised Southern Baptist but not born again. I told him the scripture and said “from now on whatever you say we will do.” He was wiser than I. He said, “Don’t be silly, we’re partners, we’ll decide things together.” And we did. In our years of marriage I never moved ahead if he disagreed, but he likewise never moved ahead if I disagreed. This is, to me, a prime example of submitting to one another. I saw one man whose marriage failed, I believe because he rode roughshod over his wife with that doctrine. This is why I say none of us can demand it. I can’t demand that my husband love me as Christ loved the church, nor can he demand submission. It has to be given. And people need to understand the reasons for it. It’s also why a person needs to be careful of who they marry. Marry someone without good sense, especially about money, and you’ve just about destroyed yourself!

I have to add, I’m amazed at women these days–in the CHURCH!!! Are pastors preaching ANYTHING? I was so happy for a friend’s wonderful son, married a “Christian” that I believed was genuine. I talked with her many times, really liked her. After a few years she came home and told him she’d “outgrown him” and wanted a divorce. And this was a man who cared for her and his family and she a “Christian” woman (?) destroyed him. What about “Let not a wife depart from her husband, but if she depart let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her own husband.” Oh yeah, I forgot there for a minute. You can do that because as long as you “believe” your works don’t matter. You never need to worry. Let’s preach on THAT one a little more!!

Oh Brother Todd, you’ve opened up a subject I can hardly keep silent on! I think I better move along!”

The Divinely Ordained Order

The husband’s priorities are 1. God, 2. his wife, 3, children, 4. others.

The woman’s priorities are 1. God, 2. her husband, 3, children, 4. others.

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).

If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).

“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin

Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!

Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!

Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!

Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-12

What Did Paul Mean by "I Keep Under My Body"? [podcast]

In spite of all the evil that is me, dear LORD You have been so gracious (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7; Titus 3:5-7). Thank You Jesus. Please bless this life to be crucified with Thee! If OSAS/eternal security is true, WHY did Paul say he himself that he could be “castaway” from God in the end if he didn’t endure to the end, perpetually keep under his body (the cross life)? “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a […]

A Living Sacrifice unto God [podcast]

The burnt offering means a complete consumption. What did God illustrate to us when He required His people under the Old Covenant to offer burnt offering sacrifices? His coming Messiah’s perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind. The ordained way He requires that His people serve Him. Jesus was the ultimate burnt offering. He gave all of Himself freely in obedience to His Father and to redeem mankind. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 In His […]

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]

“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal

Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).

—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.

Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14

“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran

From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.

Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.

“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf

When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution

“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13

Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira

Revelation 2:20-24

Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Racism: Nation Rising Against Nation [radio]

Nation Shall Rise Against Nation

Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21

It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in!

What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE!

Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully over 1 Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2:3-5. Life changing is an understatement!

Racism is hatred and is not a skin color. It is a heart condition – coming from a sinful heart. Memorize Romans 2:11.

In the time of tribulation for the believers at Thessalonica, the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul and said this:

“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5

By this we know of a certainty that the Holy Spirit is leading, directing our “hearts into the LOVE of God” and not the flesh, not a fleshly response. We now face tribulation and can be assured by this truth that our unchanging God is directing our hearts into His love and not hatred.

This is a divine truth for every era, every hour…. and we sure know that sin is exponentially abounding in this late hour…. which means divine grace is even greater – to save, heal, bless, deliver, and make whole!!!!

“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20

Here’s more evidence of God’s leading His people into the love walk in trying times:

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

Any person who does not walk in God’s love is not saved and we know that from many Scriptures. No hate, no hater shall enter Christ’s kingdom, no matter what justification that sinner thinks he has to warrant hating anyone. “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15)

When His disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”, Jesus gave them this answer:

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation (ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:4-13

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5

The Church began, will end as containing precious souls from every nation, kindred, and tongue (Acts 2; Revelation 5:9; 14:6).

The New Testament church began with men from every nation under Heaven and will be the same throughout eternity in glory.

Acts 2:1-13

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9

Nation/ethnos, ethnic yes…groups at odds was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 24:7

Yes we can be at peace, Jesus told us to fear not and to be at peace …..

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
