This World’s Hatred

John 15:18-27

“If The World (Satan) HATES YOU (Believers), YOU (Believers) KNOW that It (The World/Satan) HATED Me (Jesus Christ) BEFORE It (The World/Satan) HATED YOU (Believers).  IF YOU (Believers) WERE of The World (Satan), The World (Satan) would love Its Own (Unbelievers).  Yet because YOU (Believers) are NOT of The World (Satan), BUT I (Jesus Christ) CHOSE YOU (Believers) OUT of The World (Satan), therefore The World (Satan) HATES YOU (Believers).  Remember, The WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) that I (Jesus Christ) SAID to YOU (Believers), ‘A Servant (Believers) is NOT Greater Than His (Believers) Master (Jesus Christ).’  If They (Unbelievers) PERSECUTED Me (Jesus Christ), They (Unbelievers) will also PERSECUTE YOU (Believers).  IF They (Believers) KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), They (Believers) will KEEP Yours (Believers) also.  BUT All These Things (Hatred and Persecution) They (Unbelievers) Will DO to YOU (Believers) for My (Jesus Christ’s) Name’s Sake, BECAUSE They (Unbelievers) do NOT know Him (GOD Almighty) Who SENT Me (Jesus Christ).  IF I (Jesus Christ) had NOT Come AND Spoken to Them (Unbelievers), They (Unbelievers) would have NO sin, BUT Now, They (Unbelievers) have NO EXCUSE for Their (Unbelievers) sin.  He (Unbelievers) who HATES Me (Jesus Christ) HATES My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (GOD Almighty) also.  IF I (Jesus Christ) had NOT Done among Them (Unbelievers) The WORKS (The Miracles), which NO ONE ELSE DID, They (Unbelievers) would have NO sin; BUT Now, They (Unbelievers) have SEEN and also HATED, BOTH Me (Jesus Christ) AND My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (GOD Almighty).  BUT This Happened that The WORD (The Holy Bible) Might Be FULFILLED, which is WRITTEN in Their (Unbelievers) Law, ‘They (Unbelievers) HATED Me (Jesus Christ) WITHOUT A CAUSE.’  “But when The Helper (The Holy Spirit) COMES, Whom I (Jesus Christ) Shall SEND to YOU (Believers) FROM The Father (GOD Almighty), The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) of TRUTH, Who PROCEEDS FROM The Father (GOD Almighty), He (The Holy Spirit) Will TESTIFY of Me (Jesus Christ).  And YOU (Believers) also will BEAR WITNESS, because YOU (Believers) have been WITH Me (Jesus Christ) from The Beginning.”

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 6b-7, 8b-9

But KNOW THIS, that in The LAST DAYS Perilous Times will COME: For Men (Unbelievers) will be Lovers of THEMSELVES, Lovers of MONEY, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, Disobedient to Parents, Unthankful, Unholy, Unloving, Unforgiving, Slanderers, WITHOUT Self-Control, Brutal, Despisers of GOOD (GOD Almighty), Traitors, Headstrong, Haughty, Lovers of PLEASURE, rather than LOVERS of GOD (GOD Almighty), having a FORM of Godliness (Knowing GOD Almighty Exists), but Denying its Power.  And from Such People (Unbelievers) TURN AWAY!  For of This Sort (Unbelievers) are Those (Unbelievers) who (are) LED AWAY (by Satan) by Various Lusts, Always Learning and NEVER Able to COME to The KNOWLEDGE of The TRUTH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), These (Unbelievers) also RESIST The TRUTH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ): Men (Unbelievers) of CORRUPT MINDS, Disapproved CONCERNING The FAITH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ); BUT They (Unbelievers) will progress NO Further, for Their (Unbelievers) FOLLY will be MANIFEST to All.

Ephesians 2:1-10

And YOU (Believers) He (Jesus Christ) MADE ALIVE, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which YOU (Believers) once walked, according to The Course of This World (Satan), according to The Prince (Satan) of The Power of The Air, The Spirit (Satan) who Now WORKS in The Sons (Unbelievers) of Disobedience, among whom (Unbelievers) also We (Believers) All once conducted Ourselves (Believers) in The Lusts of Our (Believers) Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires of The Flesh and of The Mind, and were, by Nature, Children of Wrath (Satan), just as The Others (Unbelievers).

But GOD (GOD Almighty), Who is Rich in MERCY, because of His (GOD Almighty’s) Great LOVE with which He (GOD Almighty) LOVED Us (Believers), even when We (Believers) were Dead in Trespasses (Unbelievers), MADE Us (Believers) ALIVE Together WITH Christ (by GRACE YOU have been SAVED), and RAISED Us (Believers) UP, TOGETHER, and MADE Us (Believers) SIT TOGETHER in The Heavenly Places IN Christ Jesus, that in The Ages to COME He (GOD Almighty) Might SHOW The Exceeding RICHES of His (GOD Almighty’s) GRACE in His (GOD Almighty’s) Kindness TOWARD Us (Believers) IN Christ Jesus.  For BY GRACE, YOU (Believers) have been SAVED through FAITH, and that NOT of Yourselves (Believers); It (Salvation) IS The GIFT (GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation) of GOD (GOD Almighty), NOT of works, lest ANYONE should boast.  For We (Believers) ARE His (GOD Almighty’s) Workmanship, CREATED IN Christ Jesus for Good Works, which GOD (GOD Almighty) PREPARED BEFOREHAND that We (Believers) should WALK IN Them (GOD Almighty’s Good Works).

2 Corinthians 11:12-15

But what I (Believers) DO (Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ), I (Believers) will also CONTINUE to DO (Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ), that I (Believers) may CUT OFF The Opportunity FROM Those (Unbelievers) who desire an opportunity to be regarded, just as We (Believers) ARE, in The Things of which They (Unbelievers) boast.  For such are False Apostles, Deceitful Workers, TRANSFORMING Themselves (Unbelievers) into Apostles of Christ (Jesus Christ).  And NO wonder!  For Satan, Himself, TRANSFORMS Himself (Satan) into an Angel of LIGHT (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels).  Therefore, it is NO Great Thing IF His (Satan’s) Ministers (fallen angels/demons) also TRANSFORM Themselves (fallen angels/demons) into Ministers of Righteousness, whose END will be According to Their (Unbelievers, Satan’s, and fallen angels/demons) Works.

Ephesians 6:10-18

My Brethren (Fellow Believers), BE STRONG in The LORD (GOD Almighty) and in The POWER of His (GOD Almighty's) MIGHT.  PUT ON The Whole ARMOR of GOD (GOD Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be Able to Stand AGAINST The Wiles of The Devil.  For We (Believers) do NOT Wrestle AGAINST Flesh and Blood (Mankind), but AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers of The Darkness of THIS AGE, AGAINST Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness in The Heavenly Places.  Therefore, TAKE UP The Whole ARMOR of GOD (GOD Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be Able to WITHSTAND in The EVIL DAY, and having Done All, TO STAND.

STAND therefore, having GIRDED Your (Believers) Waist with TRUTH, having PUT ON The Breastplate of Righteousness, and having SHOD Your (Believers) Feet with The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace (The Gospel of Jesus Christ); ABOVE ALL, TAKING The Shield of Faith with which YOU (Believers) will be Able to QUENCH All The Fiery Darts of The Wicked One (The Devil).  And TAKE The Helmet of Salvation, AND The Sword of The Spirit, which is The WORD (The Holy Bible) of GOD (GOD Almighty); Praying Always with All Prayer and Supplication in The Spirit, BEING WATCHFUL to THIS END with All Perseverance AND Supplication for All The Saints (Believers).

Revelation 3:7b-11a

‘These Things SAYS He (Jesus Christ) Who IS HOLY, He (Jesus Christ) Who IS TRUE, “He (Jesus Christ) Who has The KEY of David, He (Jesus Christ) Who OPENS and NO ONE shuts, and SHUTS and NO ONE opens”: “I (Jesus Christ) KNOW Your (Believers) Works.  SEE, I (Jesus Christ) have SET BEFORE YOU (Believers) an OPEN DOOR, and NO ONE can shut it (The Open Door); for YOU (Believers) have a little strength, have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), and have NOT DENIED My (Jesus Christ’s) Name.  Indeed, I (Jesus Christ) Will MAKE Those (Unbelievers) of The Synagogue of Satan, who say They (Unbelievers) are Jews (Believers) and ARE NOT, but LIE, indeed I (Jesus Christ) Will MAKE Them (Unbelievers) come and worship BEFORE Your (Believers) Feet, and to KNOW that I (Jesus Christ) have LOVED YOU (Believers).  BECAUSE YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND to PERSEVERE, I (Jesus Christ) also Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR of TRIAL, which Shall COME UPON The Whole World, to TEST Those (Unbelievers) who dwell on The Earth.  Behold, I (Jesus Christ) AM COMING QUICKLY!

Fellow Believers, I pray These Scriptures give each of YOU (Believers) an idea of why We (Believers) are experiencing such HATRED AGAINST Us (Believers).  Paul describes it best, in His (Paul’s) Letter to The Ephesians (Ephesians 6:10-18), We Truly Battle AGAINST Satan and His (Satan’s) Followers (fallen angels/demons) NOT AGAINST Mankind (Unbelievers).  Look at This Battle like this, Satan HATES GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, and GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels.  And since We (Believers) are also Children of GOD Almighty, by GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving Grace and THROUGH GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation, which ONLY Comes THROUGH GOD Almighty’s One and ONLY Son, Jesus Christ, Satan HATES Us (Believers) as well!

Therefore, We (Believers) ARE Jesus Christ’s LIGHT upon This World and We (Believers) ARE Tasked with Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ with EVERYONE who has Ears to HEAR AND Eyes to SEE, The TRUTH.  Satan is THROWING Every Obstacle, Every Distraction, and Every Fear AT Us (Believers) He (Satan) possibly can, in order to Keep Us (Believer) from THIS TASK (Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ)!  In These Last Days (These End Times), The Single Most Important Task We (Believers) can Perform IS Saving Souls, literally!

NO, I am NOT saying We (Believers) Save Souls, I’m saying, We (Believers) provide The Knowledge of GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving Grace and IF The Person CHOOSES, We (Believers) TELL Them how They accept GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation, that’s what We (Believers) DO, GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, DO The Rest.  So, IF We (Believers) NEVER Reach Them (Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers) BEFORE They Depart from This World OR We (Believers) Depart from This World (“The Being Caught Up Together”, “The Blessed Hope”, etc.), it May Be TOO LATE for Them.  THIS is what Satan YEARNS to DO, Keep Us (Believers) from REACHING All Those (Yet-To-Be-Believers) who have Ears to HEAR AND Eyes to SEE, The Truth!

We (Believers) can NOT Let This Happen!

Have YOU (Believers) been asking Yourselves (Believers), why has “The Being Caught Up Together”, “The Being Kept from The Hour of Trial” NOT OCCURRED YET?  Well, here’s why:

2 Peter 3:9

The LORD (GOD Almighty) is NOT slack concerning His (GOD Almighty’s) Promise, as Some Mankind) count slackness, BUT IS Longsufferings TOWARD Us (Mankind), NOT WILLING that ANY (Mankind) Should PERISH (The Second Death), BUT that All (Mankind) should COME to REPENTANCE (Everlasting Life).

Go About The Father’s (GOD Almighty’s) Business, Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
