For
the time [has arrived] for JUDGMENT
To
begin with the Household of God;
And
if it begins with us, what will [be] the END of those
Who
do not RESPECT or BELIEVE or OBEY The Good News
(The
Gospel) of God?
And
if the righteous are BARLEY SAVED,
What
will become of the godless and wicked? [Prov. 11:31]
Therefore,
those who are ill treated
And
suffer in accordance with God's will must do RIGHT,
And
COMMIT their souls (in charge as a deposit)
To
the One Who created them and will NEVER FAIL [them]. (1 Peter
4:17-19)
What
is this “TIME” the apostle Peter speaks of here?
It
is the Last Two Days of TIME, the Last Two Thousand Years of “TIME,”
Up
to and including TODAY;
So
that TODAY God's Judgment will begin in His Household.
This
REALITY is amply described in Christ Jesus' Seven Letters
To
the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation.
What
is Christ Jesus message in these Seven Letters?
That
only complete devotion to Him and Love of Him will be accepted.
Even
as He gave ALL, so those who belong to Him will give ALL,
Or
they will have NOTHING.
This
is NOT the message that is being put forth in Christianity TODAY.
Today,
the primary message is a message to TICKLE the itching ears
Of
those who are listening.
Few
are willing to speak of the JUDGEMENT of God,
Which
in fact is an INTEGRAL part of the Gospel.
Why
is this? Because it brings a large crowd.
IGNORANCE
is bliss for a while. Listen to Peter again:
So
since Christ suffered in the flesh [for us, for you],
Arm
yourselves with the same thought and purpose
[Patiently
to suffer rather than fail to please God].
For
whoever has suffered in the flesh [having the mind of Christ]
Has
done with [intention] SIN--
Has
stopped pleasing himself and the World, and pleases God.
So
he can no longer spend the rest of his natural life
Living
by [his] human APPETITES and desires,
But
[he lives] for what God wills.
For
the time that is past
Already
suffices for doing what the Gentiles like to do,
Living
(as you have done) in shameless, insolent wantonness,
In
lustful desires, drunkenness, reveling, drinking bouts
And
ABOMINABLE, lawless IDOLATRIES.
They
are ASTONISHED and think it very queer
That
you do not now run hand in hand with them
In
the same excesses of dissipation, and they abuse [you].
But
they will have to give an account to Him Who is ready to JUDGE
And
PASS SENTENCE on the living and the dead.
For
this is why the Good News (the Gospel) was preached
[In
their lifetime] even to the dead,
That
though judged in fleshly bodies as men are,
They
might live in the Spirit as God does.
But
the END and CULMINATION of ALL THINGS has now come NEAR;
Keep
sound minded and self-restrained and alert
therefore
for [the practice of] prayer.
Above
all things have INTENSE and UNFAILING Love for one another,
For
Love covers a multitude of SINS--
Forgives
and disregards the offenses of others. [Prov. 10:12.]
Practice
hospitality to one another--
That
is, those of the household of Faith.
(Be
hospitable, that is, be a lover of strangers, with brotherly
affection
For
the unknown guests, the foreigners, the poor and all others
Who
come your way who are of Christ's Body.)
And
[in each instance] do it ungrudgingly—cordially and graciously
Without
complaining [but as representing Him].
As
each of you has received a GIFT (in a particular spiritual talent,
A
gracious Divine Endowment),
Employ
it for one another as [befits] good trustees
Of
God's many-sided grace—faithful stewards
Of
the Extremely Diverse [Powers and Gifts granted to Christians by]
Unmerited
Favor.
Whoever
speaks, [let him do it as one who utters] oracles of God;
Whoever
renders service, [let him do it]
As
with the strength which God furnishes;
So
that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, the
Messiah.
To
Him be the Glory and Dominion for ever and ever--
Through
endless ages. Amen—so be it.
Beloved,
do not be amazed and bewildered at the Fiery Ordeal
Which
is taking place to TEST your quality,
As
though something strange—unusual and alien to you and your
position--
Were
befalling you.
But
in so far as you are sharing Christ's SUFFERINGS,
Rejoice,
so that when His Glory (full of Radiance and Splendor)
Is
revealed you may also rejoice with Triumph—Exultantly.
If
you are CENSURED and SUFFER abuse
[Because
you bear] the Name of Christ, BLESSED [are you]--
Happy,
fortunate, to be envied, with life-joy and satisfaction
In
God's Favor and Salvation, regardless of your outward condition--
Because
the Spirit of Glory, the Spirit of God, is resting upon you.
On
their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is Glorified. [Isa.
11:2]
But
if [one is ill-treated and suffers] as a Christian
[Which
he is contemptuously called], let him not be ashamed,
But
give Glory to God that he is [deemed worthy] to SUFFER for this Name.
For
the time [has arrived] for JUDGMENT
To
begin with the Household of God;
And
if it begins with us, what will [be] the END of those
Who
do not RESPECT or BELEIVE or OBEY The Good News
(The
Gospel) of God?
And
if the righteous are BARLEY SAVED,
What
will become of the godless and wicked? [Prov. 11:31]
Therefore,
those who are ill treated
And
suffer in accordance with God's will must do RIGHT,
And
COMMIT their souls (in charge as a deposit)
To
the One Who created them and will NEVER FAIL [them]. (1 Peter 4:1-19)
Today,
in America being a Christian has become CONTEMPTUOUS.
This
CONTEMPT will be ever increasing as we move forward;
As
America becomes more and more godless;
As
we approach the FALL of America;
As
we approach the day the “savior” of the godless World is REVEALED;
Satan's son, the Antichrist.
Satan's son, the Antichrist.
I
pray that those who read this message are among those
Who
are willing to be CENSURED and ABUSED for the Name of Christ
And
will count it a blessing that you are found worthy to do so.
The
apostle Paul address this issue:
I
consider our present sufferings are not worthy comparing
With
the Glory that will be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
