Un(?)conditional Eternal Security & the Mark
David Eells
Abiding in Christ is where salvation is. Some say God gave us the gift of eternal life, so He can't take it back. In Galatians 3:16 we are told "to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ". You see, the promises were given to Christ, not to you. The only way the promises are yours is if you abide in Christ.
Abiding in Christ is:
Bearing fruit (Jn.15:1-6), I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. (3) Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. (4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. (6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Walking as he walked (1 Jn.2:3-6), And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; (5) but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected, Hereby we know that we are in him: (6) he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
Believing the same teachings given by Jesus and the apostles without adding or subtracting (1 Jn.2:24), As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
(Jude 3), Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.
(Mt.28:20), [T]eaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
(Rev.22:18,19), I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
Not walking in sin (1 Jn.3:5,6), And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. (6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.
Keeping his commandments (1 Jn.3:24), And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
1 Jn.5:11 says that "... God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son" and that is the only place we can claim this gift. God doesn't have to take it back, His people walk out of it.
"... Every sin that a man doeth is without the body" (1 Cor.6:18). When you walk in willful sin, you are not abiding in His body for there is "no sin in him" (1 Jn.3:5,6 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. (6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him). For instance, fornication (spiritual or physical) takes away the members of Christ and makes them members of a harlot (1 Cor.6:15,18 Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid. (18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.) All this makes it impossible to abide in Christ unless you know what sin is in the New Testament. "To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17). "... [W]hatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Rom 14:23). "... [S]in is not imputed when there is no law" (revelation of sin) (Rom 5:13). Now this narrows the scope of sin to what we know is sin. That helps.
Something else that helps is having the faith that was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 3 Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints). That faith delivers from sin, not just covers it up. Even in the Old Testament they had a blood covering, but that could not take away sins (Heb.10:4,11 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. (11) And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins) as the blood of Christ did (Heb.10:10,14 By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (14) For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. / 1 Cor.6:9-11 Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, (10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. / Jn.1:29 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!)
We are told by the apostate ministers of our day to be satisfied with God's forgiveness and that we shouldn't hope for deliverance from the sin itself. These don't know the Gospel that makes free from sin (Rom.6:17,18,22,23 But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; (18) and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. (22) But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. (23) For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord). Since our old man (the sinner) was crucified with Christ (Rom.6:6 [K]nowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him,] that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin) we can reckon our self to be dead to sin (verse 11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus) and let not sin reign in our mortal body (verse 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof). Since these false ministers have no hope themselves, they come up with convenient doctrines that permit them to live as they like while confessing Christ (Isa.29:13 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh [unto me,] and with their mouth and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of is a commandment of men which hath been taught [them]). "[H]olding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away" (2 Tim.3:5). These have a name that lives (Christian) but they are dead (Rev.3:1-5 And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead. (2) Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God. (3) Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. (4) But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. (5) He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels), twice dead (born again and died again) and plucked up by the roots (Jude 12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots). These will deceive the many, but not the elect.
Once saved, always saved, is a demon delusion that has destroyed multitudes (2 Thes.2:10-12 [A]nd with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: (12) that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness). Do not be deceived, only those who live righteously are righteous (1Jn.3:3-10 And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. (4) Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. (5) And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. (6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. (7) [My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: (8) he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (9) Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. (10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother).
"The sum of thy word is truth" (Ps.119:160). Every scripture is inspired of God (2 Tim.3:16 Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness).
- Can those in Christ be lost for fruitlessness, unbelief, or sin?
(1 Cor.15:1,2) Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, (2) by which also ye are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
(1 Cor.9:27) [B]ut I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
(1 Cor.10:1-12) For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (2) and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (3) and did all eat the same spiritual food; (4) and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ. (5) Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. (6) Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. (7) Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (8) Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (9) Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents. (10) Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. (11) Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (12) Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
(1 Tim.4:16) Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.
(Jude 3-6) Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto your exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. (4) For there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. (5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. (6) And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
(Rom.11:20,22) Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not high-minded, but fear: (22) Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
(Col.1:21-23) And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, (22) yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreprovable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
(Heb.3:6,12-14) [B]ut Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. (12) Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: (13) but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: (14) for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end.
(Heb.6:4-6) For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, (5) and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (6) and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
(Heb.10:26-31) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. (28) A man that hath set at nought Moses' law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses: (29) of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (30) For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
(Heb.12:14-17) Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: (15) looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you,] and thereby the many be defiled; (16) lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought it diligently with tears.
(Ezek.18:24-26) But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. (25) Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? (26) When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
(Rev.2:5,11) Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent. (11) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
(Rev.3:5,16) He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. (16) So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
(Rev.22:19) [A]nd if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
(Jn.15:2,6) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. (6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
(Rom 8:13) [F]or if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
(Mt.25:14,30) For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (30) And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
(Mt.10:27,28) What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops. (28) And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
(Mt.13:20-22) And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; (21) yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. (22) And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
(2 Pet.1:9-10) For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. (10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, ye shall never stumble.
(2 Pet.3:9,16,17) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (16) [A]s also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. (17) Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness.
(2 Pet.2:20-21) For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. (21) For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(Gal.3:2-4) This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? (3) Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? (4) Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain.
(Gal.5:1-4) For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. (2) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. (3) Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. (4) Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.
Jas.5:19,20) My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; (20) let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
(Acts 3:23) And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
(1 Jn.5:16) If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and [God] will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.
- When are we called and to where?
Called- An invitation given only to Gods' people to partake of His heavenly benefits in Christ in order to bear fruit. Vines Dictionary - (Klesis, A Calling... the origin, nature and destiny of which are heavenly.)
(2 Tim.1:9) [W]ho saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.
(Heb.3:1) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus.
(Hos.11:1) When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
(1 Tim.6:11,12) But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (12) Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
(Mt.25:14) For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
(Rom.1:6,7) [A]mong whom are ye also, called [to be] Jesus Christ's: (7) to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The called are the vineyard of God (Isa.5:7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry). The chosen are those who bear fruit (verse 10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield [but] and ephah). "Many are the Called but few are the Chosen (Greek= elect)".
- The elect will not fall, but can the called fall?
(Jude 1,5) Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: (5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
(Gal.1:6) I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel.
(Hos.11:1,2) When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. (2) The more [the prophets] called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
(1 Cor.9:27) [B]ut I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
(Mt.22:11-14) But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment; (12) and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. (13) Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (14) For many are called, but few chosen.
(Mt.25:14,30) For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (30) And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
(2 Pet.1:9-11) For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. (10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: (11) for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
(1 Tim.6:11,12) But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (12) Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
(Heb.3:1,6,12,14) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus; (6) but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. (12) Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: (14) for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end.
(Rom.11:1-7,19-23) I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. (2) God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel: (3) Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. (4) But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. (5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. (6) But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. (7) What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened. (19) Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. (20) Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not high-minded, but fear: (21) for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. (22) Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (23) And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
- What causes us to stand in grace?
(Jn.15:1-6) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. (3) Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. (4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. (6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
(Rom.5:2) [T]hrough whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
(Rom.11:20,22) Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not high-minded, but fear: (22) Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shall be cut off.
(Col.1:22,23) [Y]et now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreprovable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
(Heb.10:38,39) But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. (39) But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
(Heb.3:12,14) Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: (14) for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end.
(Gal.5:1,4,5) For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. (4) Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. (5) For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
(2 Tim.3:14,15) But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; (15) and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
(1 Tim.6:12) Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
(Jas.2:14-26) What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him? (15) If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food, (16) and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit? (17) Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. (18) Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith. (19) Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder. (20) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren? (21) Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? (22) Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; (23) and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. (24) Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith. (25) And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? (26) For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
- Can God's people fall from Grace?
(Gal 3:1-5) O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? (2) This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? (3) Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? (4) Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. (5) He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
(Gal.5:1-5) For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. (2) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. (3) Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. (4) Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. (5) For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
(2 Pet.3:17,18) Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness. (18) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
(Heb.10:26-29) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. (28) A man that hath set at nought Moses' law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses: (29) of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
(2 Cor.6:1) And working together [with him] we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(1 Cor.15:1,2,10) Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, (2) by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain. (10) But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
(Jas.4:5-7) Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? (6) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. (7)Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(Hos.4:6) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
- Can our names be blotted out of the Book of Life?
(Rev.3:5,16) He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. (16) So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
(Ps.69:28) Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.
(Ex.32:33) And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
(Rev.22:18,19) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
- Does God have to keep his promise to us if we do not walk in faith?
A covenant is made between two parties. To keep the covenant on our side we must walk by faith in the promises or God is not bound to keep His side.
(Num.14:11,12,30,34) And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long will this people despise? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them? (12) I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they. (30) [S]urely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephuneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. (34) After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.
(Jer.7:9,10,15) Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known, (10) and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations?
(Rom.11:20-22) Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by they faith. Be not high-minded, but fear: (21) for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. (22) Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
(Heb.3:6,12,14,18,19) [B]ut Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. (12) Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: (14) for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: (18) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? (19) And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
(Heb.4:2,6) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. (6) Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience.
- No promise in the Word comes to pass without faith.
(Mt.8:13) And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou has believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour./
(Mt.9:2,22,29) And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. (22) But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. (29) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.
(Rom.1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
- What is abiding in Christ?
(Jn.15:1-6) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. (3) Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. (4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. (6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
(1 Jn.2:3-6,24-27) And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; (5) but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: (6) he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
(1 Jn.3:5,6,24) And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. (6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. (24) And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
- Is God's love unconditional or do we have to abide init?
(Jn.14:23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
(Jn.15:6,10,14) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (10) If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (14) Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.
(Ps.5:5) The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thous hatest all workers of iniquity.
(Ps.11:5) Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
(Rom.9:13,14) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. (14) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
(Pro.6:16-20) There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him: (17) Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood: (18) A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, (19) A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren. (20) My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother.
(Pro.8:17) I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.
(Hos.9:15-17) All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters. (16) Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb. (17) My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
- For His Bride?
(Jer.3:8) And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot.
(Isa.50:1) Thus saith Jehovah, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, wherewith I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
(Hos.2:2-4) Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts; (3) lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. (4) Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom.
(Hos.9:15-17) All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters. (16) Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb. (17) My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
(Hos.11:1,2) When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. (2) The more [the prophets] called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
- Can we wait too late to bear fruit?
(Lk.13:6-9,24) And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. (7) And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? (8) And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: (9) and if it bear fruit thenceforth, [well]; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. (24) Strive to enter in at the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
(Rev.6:13) [A]nd the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind.
(Rev.12:4) And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
- Are we "sinners saved by grace" or were we sinners who are now saved from sin and its curse by grace?
(Mt.26:45) Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(Lk.6:33,34) And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same. (34) And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much.
(Jn.9:31) We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
(Rom.5:8,19) But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (19) For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.
(Gal.2:17) But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.
(Heb.7:26) For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.
(Col.1:22,23) [Y]et now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreprovable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, gounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
(2Tim.2:19-22) Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness. (20) Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor. (21) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master's use, prepared unto every good work. (22) But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
(Heb.12:14-17) Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: (15) looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you,] and thereby the many be defiled; (16) lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. (17) For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought it diligently with tears.
(Ps.1:1,5) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, (5) Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(1Cor.6:9-11) Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, (10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
(Rom.6:11,12,17,18,22,23) Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. (12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: (17) But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; (18) and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. (22) But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. (23) For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Will the sinners among God's people enter the Kingdom or be destroyed?
(1Cor.6:9-11) Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, (10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
(Rev.21:7,8) He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (8) But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
(Amos 9:10) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us.
(Isa.33:14) The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
(Jude 1,3,5,15) Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: (3) Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto your of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. (5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. (15) to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
If you are still choosing which scriptures to believe you are in error. They will all fit together eventually if you accept them all now. We must not fight scripture with scripture, for they are all true. You must not make of no effect the word of God by your traditions as Jesus stated. (Mt. 15:6...And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.) (Mk. 7:13 [M]aking void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered....)
Recently speaking by the Spirit of God, I said "Many once-saved-always-saved people will take the Mark of the Beast because they have not learned faith that God will provide in the wilderness, and because they think they cannot be lost anyway". Not more than a week after this, a vision given to Dr. Bill Deagle came to my attention.
Vision by Bill Deagle
While praying and reading the scriptures, I received the following vision of the times spoken of by Dumitru Duduman, when the revolution would start and America would have the places like Sodom and Gomorrah attacked.
In the spirit, the angel Gabriel took me to the West Coast, where I saw foreign- and oriental-looking troops wearing blue hats and carrying machine guns. I saw helicopters with the signs of the United Nations, and many thousands of Americans in lines waiting to receive the Mark of the Beast. He told me to watch as the Chinese navy used the West Coast base we gave them as secondary staging ground for the invasion. The primary invasion locales were our own military bases. The angel showed me how our New World Order US government officials gave these bases to the invaders.
I was horrified as I watched. Deep below many airports and military bases, I saw those with red badges, who were to be executed for the word of their testimony, and they did not shrink from the faith in Jesus. Others, marked by blue, worked in factories and were periodically brought to reprogramming camps and rooms where unspeakable, inhumane acts were performed on them to have them repent of their belief in the Truth and the Word. Elsewhere, those with the green emblem smiled and went about life with peace on their well-fed faces, and they feared not, for they felt righteous in that they were saving the planet, or they knew falsely in their hearts that surely the Lord would not cast them out to outer darkness!
Surely, once saved, they thought, I have eternal security, and the Lord Jesus I once received will not reject those he has taken into his arms. Then Gabriel cringed as if in pain seeing this, for he said that their beliefs would bring them to destruction for they knew Him not!
I asked, "What is the end of these things?" He said "Those that will hear the words of the witnesses of Jesus and the prophets of the END would be stirred and throughout the kingdom of the Beast". These would be high-level masons, murderers, bankers, military men, teachers, doctors, laborers, and all the corporations of the Beast would turn over those who would receive the Mark of the Sovereign Lord on their right hand or forehead. Even those who had taken the Oath to the Evil One and those most detestable were among their numbers! As I watched, he said, "Behold, see those who feel secure in their righteousness are lost, while these most terrible before men are now washed righteous in the Blood of the Lamb!" In the spirit I fell on my face weeping for those that call themselves by the name of the Lord, and the fate that they will face in outer darkness.
Suddenly, I was back beside the angel Gabriel, and he said, "America is Babylon, and the Nation of the Anointing of Israel to bring the Gospel to the world. All these things must come to pass, so that all Mercy and Justice of a Righteous God will be served". I again asked what will happen to America?" He said, "Revolution will start when the Evil One is revealed in the Tabernacle; and the Holy people are trampled underfoot with the attack on America and the nations that call themselves after the name of Jesus".
DREAM - by Christine Shelko
(Editors note: This dream has a spiritual interpretation. For instance, the sword represents the Word (Heb.4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.)
My husband Michael had an INCREDIBLE vision/dream. It was something that he said it felt as if he lived it, as if he were there. It was about Judgment Day. He has never experienced anything like this before in this capacity. He told me the entire dream and half way through it I was crying because I knew without a doubt it was from God. The entire vision was based on the bible (and Michael has never read the bible, nor has he studied anything). I will try to recall the dream and write it for you:
He said he was in downtown Atlanta, alone. He had just come back from a "sword show" in Atlanta. They have gun shows and samurai sword shows. He ended up purchasing a samurai sword and he was carrying it on his right hip in the holster. He was walking downtown and he said it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and everything was status quo. Then he said SUDDENLY he was walking on the sidewalk and there were a lot of people around (it is downtown Atlanta) and he said their faces started to change. While the faces were changing they were bustling more, like they were getting faster and in a hurry. He said the faces changing were becoming demonic and evil. He knew they knew their time was short. He would look around all the people were changing, then they started coming to him and saying "Are you saved? Jesus is coming. The time is here - it is today?" Michael said to one of them (who had a demonic face) "What is today?" and they said "Judgment Day, are you prepared, do you believe in Jesus? All you have to do is believe and that's it". He said they started coming after him without weapons. It was just their words, and although they were speaking as if from Christ, he knew they were demonic.
They started getting closer to him and he heard someone tell him to take out the sword and start hacking at them. He listened and took out his samurai sword (which was a small one and not a large one) and he started chopping them into pieces - he said when he would swing the sword they would not die. Their heads were being cut off and they still came at him, not dieing. He knew he was getting tired and he looked all around him and he said it was getting CRAZY - people were running rampant and yelling and screaming. They were looting and fires were broken out all over the place.
He continued to fight the ones who were on top of him, when a couple (a man and a woman) came up to him and took his hand. They said, "It's time to go, come with us" He said he knew they were good people so he went with them. They took him to a high rise building and he was staying on the top of the building. He said the roof was flat and he was overlooking the city. Then, he said instantly he saw 4 beings coming down from heaven. Each was HUGE and they came from the North, South, East and West. The East being was where he was. He said its appearance was almost cartoon like - he has never seen anything like it. I asked him to describe it to me and he said the being had a face like a man and it was SO BIG, BIGGER than the high rise buildings. Each being had a sword/sickle which it swung at the city and people in it. It was incredible, he said, because with one swing about 1/2 of the city was gone. Blood everywhere!
While he was sitting on top of the roof, he was extremely worried about me and the kids. He said he could see our house from where he was sitting, and although he had his sword, he knew he couldn't leave his location or he would be killed because of the chaos and evil on the streets. He said there was barbed wire fence from the rooftop where he was to our house and he could not cross over. The people who "rescued" him from the street told him, "Michael, you cannot stop any of this and you cannot prevent anything that is befalling on the earth". Michael said he was thinking that if he had a sniper rifle, he would still be able to protect us from the roof. He saw a huge black car come to our house. He saw 2 "thugs" get out of the car and go in our house. He was crying to the Lord and said "Are you going to make me watch this?" and the Lord said "Watch". Then he saw Brianna and David run up onto the roof of our house (he said the roof on our house was also flat) and they were cowering in the corner of the roof. Michael was crying now and said "Are you going to make me watch my family be killed?" and the voice said "You cannot stop what is going to happen, watch".
Michael was still watching from the rooftop and looking at Brianna and David (they had no idea he was there, looking) and he heard 2 gun shots. Then he saw one of the thugs run out of the house and get in the car. He told me that I had cut the first guy in two and the second thug was terrified. Michael said he was really worried because these guys were huge and strong. (At this point, I said, "The Lord is my Protector and no one can take me or the kids down if it is not His will to do so"). He then said he was reunited with us (sort of instantly) and he said the entire earth was destroyed.
He said it was our job to rebuild the earth. He said many people were coming out of their places and we were all gathering together. Many people told their stories of the family they lost, but there was no sadness. Michael said it was complete peace because only the "good" people were left to rebuild the earth. He said we could go in any stores and just take the food, or get in any vehicle we wanted and live in any house we chose. There was no more money. Store owners who made it through were giving out their products because money meant NOTHING, it was all about helping one another. He said very few people remained, but it was enough to repopulate and rebuild.
Wasn't this incredible??? God is Glorious!! After he told me his dream, I said to him that this was entirely based on the bible. The reapers in Revelation are the beings coming down with their sickles. He said he felt a little "crazy" and said "but, I am not a holy man - why would He ever give me something like that?" I told him it was not about being a "holy" man...by his standards - it is up to God's standards. It is true that he gives gifts to the poor and humble. I am forever praising His name for Michael and His love for us all. He also said he was extremely exhausted from "fighting" all night... (he literally went through this).
