He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives!

“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.” Luke4:19

for fear of the Jews.. John 7:13, John 20:19

the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets…. 1Thes2:14-15

Wow, they were very afraid of “the Jews”.

Let’s look at this phrase, “the Jews”, metaphorically as referring to a major demonic spirit that controls antichrist religions,  in opposition to God, and NOT “literally” as in an ethnic people group or a culture. Let’s look at how this spiritually designated group spans centuries, many religions and nations, and it’s function of hurting and killing, and keeping people captive.
1. for fear of the Jews= the plotting, envious, murderous Pharisee religious leaders of Jesus’ time who wanted to maintain power and control. They loved death and hated Truth and desired to kill the Truth (ie Jesus and those who followed Him). They kept the people captive in bondage and fear. This is the satanically empowered force that is against Christ Jesus and all the saints.

2.for fear of the Jews= those greedy papal Church leaders of Holy Roman Empire Christendom who wanted Roman Empire power, wealth and dominion. They loved death and hated Truth and desired to kill Truth (ie Christians and anyone else who would not submit to their lies, power, authority and dominion). This is the group who instituted the Inquisitions, planned the killing Crusades of the middle ages and kept spiritual truth from the people, keeping them captive in bondage and fear. This is the same group who planned death for every person killed in the world wars. This group presents itself as Pious and Holy Christianity but is actually in satanic opposition to Christ and to the saints. This force is merely an extension of group 1.

3. for fear of the Jews= those modern religious Islamic Jihad leaders who want power and dominion. They feed lies to the people, making them captive to bondage, deception and fear. They love death and hate Truth and desire to kill everyone who will not submit to Islam, especially Christians. This is the same exact spirit as what exists in group 2. It is the same entity with a different culture, language, and geography. But it is the exact same thing. This force is merely an extension of groups 1 and 2.

All three are the same spirit of death, spanning many centuries and  manifesting in three world religions  (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) using them as a front, so to speak. Same spirit of killing, envy, lust for power, cruelty, torture, and spiritual bondage and captivity. It is a religious demonic spirit that hates God and people and loves to kill and destroy. It loves to hurt and lie and deceive and keep people captive.

This spirit keeps the world’s people in fear of being punished if they do not obey. This spirit also makes our brethren worldwide fear for their lives, for belonging to Jesus Christ. This evil spirit wants to kill and make everyone captive and submit to their self-appointed Dominionist power.

We are dealing with religious spiritual forces here. This is what we are dealing with:  “we wrestle not against flesh….. but against rulers, powers, forces, principalities… rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph.6:12

But.

“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,
TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”

Therefore, keep loving God and loving your neighbor. Continue keeping a soft heart of mercy, compassion, empathy and love, as Christ abides in you and you in Him.

Keep praying for the suffering saints who are persecuted. Keep loving and helping them in every practical way, meeting their needs, comforting, caring for, feeding and encouraging them however you are able.

Keep telling the truth of salvation and life in Jesus Christ to the world. Keep declaring and living His kingdom. Keep living the life and faith of Jesus Christ and making disciples. Proclaim release to the captives! And do not be afraid to speak openly of Him.

2 mothers contrasted

As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. Is.66:13

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” Is.66:13 niv

The ironic and horrific reality is, that it is actually DominionistfakeChristianity that created DominionistfakeIsrael, both of which are antichrist (two factions of evil, a split personality so to speak) and both having the foundational core of pretended righteousness, fake holiness and claiming “representing God”, on the outside.

On the inside they together are that Babylonian, Talmudic, Christ-hating, saint hating, occultic, blood-lusting, satan worshipping coven that loves lying, deceiving, stealing, destroying and killing people. They claim “leadership”, publicly pretend “concern for fellow-man” while, as Babylon the Great (whore), mother of harlots, secretly being the keeper of “the deep things of satan”, are the originator of the abominations of the earth. (They promote spiritual deception and the outright acts of disobedience to the instructions and Truth of Jesus Christ).

Likewise, DominionistfakeIslam, which ALSO loves to kill, is also merely this mother’s (DominionistfakeChristianity) progeny and slave, created to serve in achieving the goals of their father the devil.

The irony is great… the self-declared paragons of “Bible truth” and godliness, (falseChristianity+fakeIsrael) are actually “that woman” the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. This “mother” has no love. She is a conscienceless, compassion-less, loveless, raging psychopath. The Mother of Harlots: The ultimate abusive mother.

And they are “that woman”, (that mother), that mystery…..

BABYLON THE GREAT

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH

Rev.17

….who is decked out to the 9s, reveling in her blood-lust, practicing witchcraft, counting her riches, drunk on killing, and riding that scarlet beast.

They are the synagogue of satan. The ultimate irony.

Meanwhile the Lord, Jesus Christ is going around rescuing each one of the helpless,  “least of these” little lost sheep which perch on the thin ledge in sorrow and terror. He rescues them. He brings them into His arms, holding them close in compassion, comforting them in their hurt and distress. They find safety in Him, and love. He brings all these little ones comfort, care, protection and compassion. He carries them, holds them gently, feeds and nurtures them.  Lord Jesus Christ our Beloved God: the ultimate good and loving mother.

resist the pressure

But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. 1Pe5:9

The tribulation is, in part, “pressure” and temptation to join with the faith of satan (lies) and demonstrate that faith through works.

But we resist this pressure and temptation, in the faith of Christ, (Truth) through HIS POWER in us, demonstrating our faith through works. We stand in Him as we endure to the end.

This pressure and resisting lies and sin causes us suffering, thus by His power we mutually encourage one another daily, out of love for one another.

dying

Always bearing (carrying) about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2Cor4:10

 

Thlipsis

“I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation……….” Rev.1:9

My heart aches for all the dear precious believers who are sad and in great personal distress, or confused and upset, because they see the intense infiltration of satanic power and activity, into the religion of Christianity. (“Mourn with those who mourn.”) My heart aches for those who are waiting and waiting for “revival” or hoping for it all to just go away. But this is prophetic, this is scriptural, as we know. It will not go away. Christianity the religion will not be “reformed” or “revived” or “purified”………. the only revival in official (State approved) Christianity is a satanic revival. There is intense spiritual warfare in these last days. Yet this apostacy and all the delusions, are judgment from God for those in Christianity who love not the truth (who love not Christ Jesus, but love the flesh and the world and take pleasure in unrighteousness).

He is using this judgment to separate out the sheep unto Himself. But this separation process hurts. Oh how it hurts! There is intense pressure, a pressing, a hard squeezing, anguish, almost likened unto childbirth, it hurts so much. It hurts watching the destruction. It hurts watching the falling away from the faith. It hurts being rejected because of Christ. It hurts being hated. It hurts separating unto Christ. It hurts being removed from “the world and all that is in the world.” It hurts being separated from the false (apostate) Christianity. It hurts being mocked, scorned, reviled and verbally crucified. It hurts proclaiming the truth. It hurts being called crazy, stupid, divisive, lone ranger, negative, heretic, hater, unloving, and blasphemer.

Those on the wide path are not feeling the pressure of these sufferings. Their way and path feels soooo good and fun and pleasing to the flesh.

The way is narrow. The path is narrow. For those walking on the narrow path, walking in the narrow way, there is separation, intense pressure, a hard squeezing, distress, affliction, suffering… mental, social, spiritual and relational anguish and pain. One cannot remain in the narrow way and on the narrow path without going through this thlipsis.

This is all a part of the tribulation.

You are not alone as you partake in it.

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him……..Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion (apostacy) comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction…2Thes.2:1,3.

Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)…. for then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.” Matt.24:15,21-22.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1Thes.4:15-18.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him…Rev.1:7.

And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and from where have they come? And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne shall spread His tabernacle over them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes.” Rev.7:13-17.

“And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even unto death.” Rev.12:11.

Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev.19:10.

And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True… Rev.19:11.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehand and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.Rev.20:4-5.

Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. Rev.20:6.

What If

What if everything we have was taken away from us: home, money, security, possessions? How about health? What if freedom, safety and food were removed? What would we have then? What if we were separated from family members. How would we live? What if we really found ourselves in such a scenario someday?

We know that we would have God with us, and we would live by faith. We would have trust in our faithful God. We would have His Holy Spirit to comfort, guide and give His strength and supernatural power. We would have His Words that are hidden in our hearts. We would have His promises to remember. We would have communion with Him in abiding prayer. We would have His commands to obey. We would have His path to walk and His cross to carry. We would have His sufferings to gladly share in. We would have His gospel of grace and salvation to tell to the lost. We would have His truth to boldly declare to anyone opposed to Him. We would have courage and love to share with one another. We would have faith, knowing He is in control and that He is returning for us. We would have hope in our God and Savior Jesus Christ.

We may not be enduring these troubles…yet. But friends, are we living this life of faith now ? This is a good way to be ready for whatever “what if” may come. Are you ready for “what if”?

In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. John 16:33.
