And
from the days of John the Baptist until the Present Time
The
Kingdom of Heaven has endured VIOLENT ASSAULT,
AND
VIOLENT MEN SEIZE IT BY FORCE [as a precious prize]--
A
share in the Heavenly Kingdom
IS
SOUGHT FOR WITH MOST ARDENT ZEAL AND INTENSE EXERTION.
(Matthew
11:12, AMP)
The
Kingdom of heaven is like something Precious buried in a field,
Which
a man found and hid again;
Then
in his Joy he goes and sells ALL HE HAS and buys that field.
Again,
the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a dealer
In
search of fine and precious pearls,
Who,
on finding a SINGLE PEARL of great price,
Went
and sold ALL HE HAD and bought it.
Again,
the Kingdom of Heaven is like a Dragnet which was cast into the sea
And
gathered in fish of every sort;
When
it was full, men dragged it up on the beach and sat down
And
sorted out the good fish into vessels,
But
the worthless ones they threw away.
SO
IT WILL BE AT THE CLOSE AND CONSUMMATION OF THE AGE.
The
angels will go forth and separate the Wicked from the Righteous--
Those
who are UPRIGHT and in RIGHT STANDING with God--
And
cast [the Wicked] into THE FURNACE OF FIRE;
There
will be Weeping and Wailing and Grinding of teeth.
HAVE
YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL THESE [PARABLES] TAKEN TOGETHER?
They
said to Him, Yes, Lord. (Matthew 13:44-51, AMP)
And
you will be HATED BY ALL for My Names sake.
But
he who PRESERVERS AND ENDURES TO THE END
Will
be SAVED [from spiritual] disease and death in the World to come].
When
they PERSECUTE you in one town
[That
is , pursue you in a manner to injure you
And
cause you to suffer because of your belief],
FLEE
to another town;
For
truly, I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of
Israel Before the Son of Man comes.
A
disciple is not above his teacher, nor is a servant above his master.
It
is sufficient for the disciple to be like his teacher,
And
the servant or slave like his master.
If
they have called the Master of the House BEELZEBUB
[Meaning
master of the dwelling],
How
much more will they speak Evil of those of His Household. [kings
1:2.]
SO
HAVE NO FEAR OF THEM;
For
nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, or kept secret
That
will not become known.
What
I say to you in the dark, tell it in the light;
And
what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
AND
DO NOT BE AFRAID of those who kill the body
But
cannot kill the soul,
But
rather be afraid of Him Who can destroy both soul and body
In
Hell (Gehenna).
Are
not two little sparrows sold for a penny?
And
yet not one of them will fall to the ground
Without
your Father's leave and notice.
But
even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
FEAR
NOT, then; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Therefor,
every one who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me
[Out
of a state of oneness with Me],
I
will also acknowledge before My Father Who is in Heaven,
And
confess [abiding] in him.
But
whoever Denies and Disowns Me before men,
I
also will Deny and Disown before My Father Who is in Heaven.
DO
NOT THINK I HAVE COME TO BRING PEACE UPON THE EARTH;
I
have not come to bring but a sword.
For
I have come to part asunder a man from his father,
And
a daughter from her mother,
And
a newly married wife from her mother-in-law;
A
MAN'S FOES WILL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD. [Mic. 7:6.]
He
who loves and takes more pleasure in father or mother
Than
in Me is not worthy of Me;
And
he who loves and take more pleasure in son or daughter
Than
in Me is not worthy of Me;
And
he who does not take up his Cross and follow Me,
[That
is, cleave steadfastly to Me,
Conforming
wholly to My example in living and if need be in dying also]
Is
not worthy of Me.
Whoever
finds his [lower] life will lose [the higher life],
And
whoever loses the [lower]life on My account will find [the higher
life].
He
who receives and welcomes and accepts you,
Receives
and welcomes and accepts Me;
And
he who receives and welcomes and accepts Me,
Receives
and welcomes and accepts Him Who sent Me.
He
who receives and welcomes and accepts a Prophet
Because
he is a Prophet shall receive a Prophet's reward,
And
he who receives and welcomes and accepts a Righteous man
Because
he is a Righteous man shall receive a Righteous man's Reward.
And
whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence]
Even
a cup of cold water because he is My disciple,
Surely,
I declare to you, he shall not lose his Reward.
(Matthew
10:22-42, AMP)
THERE
ARE NO PASSIVE CHRISTIANS!
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
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!
