The Dark Cloud Of Persecution, Coming Over The Horizon

Fellow Believers, The World’s Hatred Toward Us, Should NOT Come, As A Surprise!  We Are Living, IN The Last Days; And We Are Witnessing, Firsthand, The Darkness Of Satan, Pouring Over The Mountains; Yes, A Darkness, A Satan Inspired Hatred, Is Spreading, Like A Cancer!  THIS World, Satan’s World, Is NOT Going To Be Getting Any Better, Especially, For Us; IN Fact, It’s About To Get Worse, Much Worse!

Genesis 3:14-15

SO, THE LORD GOD (GOD Almighty) Said, To The Serpent (Satan): “Because YOU (Satan) Have Done THIS (Deceived Mankind, Into Sinning, Against GOD Almighty), YOU (Satan) ARE CURSED, More Than All Cattle, And More Than Every Beast Of The Field; On Your Belly, YOU (Satan) Shall Go; And YOU (Satan) Shall Eat Dust (The Dust Of The Earth), All The Days Of Your Life!  And I (GOD Almighty) Will Put ENMITY (Hatred), Between YOU (Satan), AND The Woman (Eve); And (Hatred) Between Your Seed, AND Her SEED (The Messiah, Jesus Christ); HE (Jesus) Shall BRUISE (CRUSH) Your Head (Satan); And YOU (Satan) Shall Bruise HIS Heel (Jesus’ Heel, During HIS Crucifixion)!”

John 8:44

Jesus Said To Them, “YOU (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Are Of YOUR Father, The Devil (Satan); And The Desires Of YOUR Father (Satan), YOU Want To Do!  He (Satan) Was A Murderer, From The Beginning (Of Mankind’s History); And (Satan) Does NOT Stand, IN THE TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); Because, There Is NO Truth, IN Him!  WHEN He (Satan) Speaks A Lie, He (Satan) Speaks, From His Own RESOURCES (i.e. NOT From GOD Almighty); For He (Satan) Is A Liar, And The Father Of IT (All Lies)!”

James 3:14-16

BUT, IF YOU (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Have Bitter Envy And Self-Seeking (THROUGH Satan), IN Your Hearts, Do NOT Boast And Lie, Against THE TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!  THIS Wisdom Does NOT Descend From Above (i.e. IT IS NOT, From GOD Almighty), BUT, (This Wisdom) IS Earthly, Sensual, Demonic (i.e. IT IS, From Satan)!  For WHERE, Envy And Self-Seeking (THROUGH Satan) EXIST; Confusion And EVERY Evil Thing (THROUGH Satan), ARE THERE!

Isaiah 5:20

WOE TO THOSE (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Who CALL Evil (Satan) – Good, And (Who Call) GOOD (GOD Almighty) – Evil; Who PUT Darkness (The Darkness Of Satan) – For (FALSE) Light, And (Who Put) LIGHT (THE LIGHT Of Jesus Christ) – For Darkness; Who PUT Bitter (EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION) – For Sweet, And (Who Put) SWEET (EVERLASTING LIFE) – For Bitter!

Ephesians 6:12

For We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NOT Wrestle (Spiritually Battle) Against Flesh And Blood (i.e. Mankind); BUT, (We Spiritually Battle) AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers Of The Darkness Of THIS Age, AGAINST Spiritual HOSTS Of Wickedness, IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES (i.e. We Spiritually Battle, AGAINST Satan, The Fallen Angels, And Demons)!

Folks, Satan Has A Hatred For Mankind; And Satan Has An Intense Hatred For Us (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty); Which Means, Satan’s Seed (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers – Children Of Satan; NOT To Mention, The Fallen Angels And Demons), By Extension, Also Have, An Intense Hatred For Us!

John 3:18-21

And Jesus, Answering Them, Began To Say: “He (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who BELIEVES, IN HIM (Jesus Christ), Is NOT Condemned (TO The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); BUT He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Does NOT Believe (IN HIM, Jesus Christ) IS CONDEMNED, Already; Because He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Has NOT Believed, IN THE NAME Of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON Of GOD (Jesus Christ)!”

And THIS, IS The Condemnation; That THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ) Has Come, Into The World (Satan’s World), And Men (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Loved Darkness (The Darkness Of Satan), Rather Than, LIGHT (THE LIGHT Of Jesus Christ); Because Their Deeds Were Evil!  For Everyone (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Practicing Evil (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them), Hates THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ), And Does NOT Come, To THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ), Lest His Deeds (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them), Should Be EXPOSED!

BUT He (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who Does THE TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), COMES TO THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ); THAT His Deeds (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us) May Be CLEARLY SEEN, That They Have Been DONE, IN GOD (GOD Almighty)!”

John 15:18-21, 23

Jesus Answered, And Said To Him, “IF The World (Satan’s World) Hates YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), YOU KNOW, That IT (The World) Hated ME (Jesus Christ), BEFORE, IT HATED YOU!  IF YOU (Fellow Believers) Were Of The World (Satan’s World); The World (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Would Love ITS Own!  YET, Because YOU (Fellow Believers) Are NOT Of The World (Satan’s World); BUT, I (Jesus Christ) CHOSE YOU, OUT Of The World; Therefore, The World Hates YOU!  Remember The Word That I (Jesus) Said To YOU, ‘A Servant (Fellow Believers) Is NOT Greater, Than HIS MASTER (Jesus Christ)!’  IF They Persecuted ME (Jesus Christ); They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will Also, Persecute YOU (Fellow Believers)!  IF They (Fellow Believers) Kept MY WORD (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), They Will Keep Yours, Also!  BUT, ALL THESE THINGS, They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will DO, To YOU (Fellow Believers), FOR MY NAME’S SAKE (Jesus Christ); Because, They Do NOT Know HIM (GOD Almighty), WHO SENT ME (Jesus Christ)!  He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Hates ME (Jesus Christ), Hates MY FATHER (GOD Almighty), Also!”

Matthew 5:2, 10-13a, 14-16, 43-45a

THEN, HE (Jesus) Opened HIS Mouth, And Taught Them, Saying:BLESSED ARE Those (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who Are Persecuted, For RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); For Theirs, IS THE KINGDOM Of HEAVEN!  BLESSED ARE YOU (Fellow Believers), When They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Revile And Persecute YOU, And Say All Kinds Of Evil Against YOU, FALSELY, FOR MY SAKE (Jesus Christ)!  Rejoice, And Be Exceedingly Glad, For Great, IS Your Reward, IN Heaven; For So, They Persecuted The Prophets (Of GOD Almighty), Who Were Before YOU!”

“YOU (Fellow Believers) Are THE (Spiritual) SALT Of The Earth!  YOU (Fellow Believers) Are THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT) Of The World (Satan’s World)!  A City That Is Set On A Hill, Can NOT Be Hidden!  NOR Do They Light A Lamp, And Put IT (The Lamp) Under A Basket; BUT, (They Put The Lamp) On A Lampstand; And IT (The Lamp) Gives LIGHT, TO ALL, WHO ARE, IN The House!  Let YOUR LIGHT (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT), So SHINE, Before Men, That They May SEE Your Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), And Glorify YOUR FATHER, IN Heaven (GOD Almighty)!”

“YOU Have Heard, That It Was Said, ‘YOU Shall Love Your Neighbor, And Hate Your Enemy!’  BUT, I (Jesus) SAY TO YOU (Fellow Believers), LOVE Your Enemies (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers); BLESS Those, Who Curse YOU; DO GOOD To Those, Who Hate YOU; And PRAY For Those, Who Spitefully Use YOU, And Persecute YOU; That YOU (Fellow Believers) May Be SONS Of YOUR FATHER, IN Heaven (Children Of GOD Almighty)!”

Matthew 10:16-18

Jesus Commanded Them, Saying, “Behold, I (Jesus) Send YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Out As Sheep, IN The Midst Of Wolves (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers)!  Therefore, Be Wise, As Serpents, And Harmless, As Doves!  BUT, Beware Of Men (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers); For They Will Deliver YOU Up (Fellow Believers), To Councils; And Scourge YOU, IN Their Synagogues!  YOU (Fellow Believers) Will Be Brought, Before Governors And Kings, FOR MY SAKE (Jesus Christ); As A Testimony, To Them, And To The Gentiles!”

Mark 13:11

“BUT, When They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Arrest YOU (Fellow Believers), And Deliver YOU Up; Do NOT Worry, Beforehand, OR Premeditate, What YOU Will Speak!  BUT, WHATEVER IS GIVEN YOU (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), IN THAT HOUR, SPEAK THAT; FOR IT, IS NOT YOU, WHO SPEAK, BUT, THE HOLY SPIRIT!”

Matthew 10:27-28

“WHATEVER, I (Jesus) TELL YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), IN The Dark (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), SPEAK, IN THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT); And What YOU (Fellow Believers) Hear, IN The Ear (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), PREACH, On The Housetops!  And Do NOT Fear Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Kill The (Natural) Body, BUT, Can NOT Kill The Soul!  BUT Rather, Fear HIM (GOD Almighty), WHO IS ABLE TO DESTROY, Both Soul And Body, IN Hell (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!”

Matthew 24:9-12

And Jesus Answered, And Said To Them: “THEN, They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will Deliver YOU Up (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), To Tribulation And Kill YOU; And YOU Will Be Hated, By All Nations, FOR MY NAME’S SAKE (Jesus Christ)!  And THEN, Many (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will Be Offended (By Everything), Will Betray One Another, And Will Hate One Another!  THEN, Many FALSE Prophets (i.e. FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will Rise Up, And Deceive Many (THROUGH Satan)!  And Because Lawlessness (Sin) Will Abound (THROUGH Satan); The Love Of Many (For Others) Will Grow Cold!”

Romans 8:35, 37-39

Who Shall Separate Us (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), From THE LOVE Of CHRIST?  SHALL Tribulation, OR Distress, OR Persecution, OR Famine, OR Nakedness, OR Peril, OR Sword?  YET, IN ALL THESE THINGS, We (Fellow Believers) Are More Than Conquerors, THROUGH HIM (Jesus Christ), WHO LOVED Us!  For I Am Persuaded, That NEITHER Death, NOR Life, NOR (Fallen) Angels, NOR Principalities, NOR Powers (i.e. Satan, The Fallen Angels, And Demons), NOR Things Present, NOR THINGS TO COME, NOR Height, NOR Depth, NOR ANY Other Created Thing (NOT Even Satan, Himself), Shall Be Able To Separate Us (Fellow Believers), From THE LOVE Of GOD (GOD Almighty), WHICH IS, IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR LORD!

2 Corinthians 6:2b-10

BEHOLD, NOW, IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD, NOW, IS THE DAY Of SALVATION!  We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Give NO Offense, IN Anything, That Our Ministry May NOT Be Blamed!  BUT, IN ALL THINGS, We (Fellow Believers) Commend Ourselves, As Ministers Of GOD (As Jesus Christ’s LIGHT): IN Much Patience (IN Endurance), IN Tribulations, IN Needs, IN Distresses, IN Stripes, IN Imprisonments, IN Tumults (IN Uproars), IN Labors, IN Sleeplessness, IN Fastings; BY Purity, BY Knowledge, BY Longsuffering, BY Kindness, BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BY Sincere Love, BY THE WORD Of TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), BY THE POWER Of GOD (GOD Almighty), BY THE ARMOR Of RIGHTEOUSNESS (The Whole ARMOR Of GOD Almighty), On The Right Hand AND On The Left, BY Honor And Dishonor, BY Evil Report And Good Report; As Deceivers, And YET, TRUE; As Unknown, And YET, Well Known; As Dying, And BEHOLD, WE LIVE; As Chastened, And YET, NOT Killed; As Sorrowful, YET, Always Rejoicing; As Poor, YET, Making Many Rich; As Having Nothing, And YET, POSSESSING ALL THINGS (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

2 Corinthians 5:20-21

NOW THEN, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Are Ambassadors For Christ, As Though GOD (GOD Almighty) Were Pleading (With YOU), THROUGH Us: We Implore YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers), On Christ’s Behalf, BE RECONCILED TO GOD (GOD Almighty)!  FOR HE (GOD Almighty), MADE HIM (Jesus Christ), WHO Knew NO Sin, TO BE Sin, For Us (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); THAT We (Fellow Believers) Might Become, The Righteousness Of GOD (Children Of GOD Almighty), IN HIM (Jesus Christ)!

2 Timothy 2:24-26

And A SERVANT Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ, Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Must NOT Quarrel, BUT Be Gentle To All, Able To Teach (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy), Patient, IN Humility, Correcting Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Are In Opposition (To THE TRUTH); IF GOD (GOD Almighty) Perhaps Will Grant Them, Repentance (SALVATION – THROUGH The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ); So That, They May Know THE TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); And THAT, They May Come To Their Senses, AND ESCAPE, The Snare Of The Devil (Satan), Having Been Taken Captive, By Him (IN The Bondage Of Sin), TO DO His Will (Satan’s Will)!

Fellow Believers, Just As, Jesus Christ’s Disciples Were Tasked, With Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, Despite Any Consequences; We Are Also Tasked, With The Same!  Now, Does This Mean, We May Be Literally, Put To Death, For Our Efforts, YES, IT DOES; We Have Witnessed, THIS Ultimate Sacrifice, Throughout The World, TODAY, By Our Fellow Brothers And Sisters, IN Christ Jesus!

1 Peter 5:8-9

BE SOBER (Spiritually Alert), BE VIGILANT (Be Watchful); Because Your Adversary (THE Adversary), The Devil (Satan), Walks About, Like A Roaring Lion, Seeking Whom, He May Devour!  Resist Him (Satan), Steadfast (Firm), IN THE FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); KNOWING, That The Same Sufferings (Spiritual Attacks) Are Experienced, By Your Brotherhood (Fellow Believers), IN The World (Satan’s World)!

Fellow Believers, We Do NOT Fear Death – Physical Death Of The Natural Body, Because We Have THIS Assurance . . .

2 Corinthians 5:5-8

NOW HE, WHO HAS PREPARED Us (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), For THIS Very Thing, IS GOD (GOD Almighty); WHO Also, Has GIVEN Us, THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), As A GUARANTEE!  SO, WE (Fellow Believers) ARE Always Confident; KNOWING, That While We Are, AT HOME, IN The (Natural) Body, We Are ABSENT, From THE LORD (Jesus Christ)!  FOR WE (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) WALK BY FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), NOT By (Human) Sight!  We Are Confident, YES, Well Pleased Rather, To Be ABSENT, From The (Natural) Body, And To Be PRESENT, With THE LORD (Jesus Christ)!

Folks, We Have The Guarantee Of EVERLASTING LIFE; And We KNOW We Will Be, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER!

Fellow Believers, Until The Being Caught Up Together OCCURS . . .

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.
