THE VENGEANCE OF THE LIVING GOD - ELEVENTH PART.

THE VENGEANCE OF THE LIVING GOD - ELEVENTH PART.

In our revelations that preceded this eleventh part, Jesus showed us His plan of salvation and the difference between the Day of the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Day of Vengeance of the Living God.

Jesus Christ's plan of salvation is to remove human beings from the power of Satan, to return to glory with God the Father.

To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me. Atos 26:18;Romanos 16:20.

Most religion does not know who Satan is Ezekiel Ezequiel 28:14.

And it teaches human beings that Satan is just a despicable, ugly and cruel being.

And this is one of the reasons for the vengeance of the living God Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 32:39-41; Isaiah Isaías 63:1-6; Revelation Apocalipse 19:11-18.

Satan is God here in darkness, to a third of the heavenly angels, of which human beings are a part. Revelation Apocalipse 12:3,4.

Satan offered Jesus Christ his kingdom of darkness, asking him in return for a simple bow. But Jesus Christ, the image of the heavenly Father Colossians Colossenses 2:12-23, replied that Satan was the one who owed reverence to Him. Luke Lucas 4:4-8; Matthew Mateus 4:8-11.

In this way, Satan is the Devil, he is the primitive serpent, he is the Dragon Revelation Apocalipse 12:9:

And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him. Apocalipse 12:9; Jó 9:1-24; Judas 1:9; 1 Coríntios 5:5; Jó 2:7; Lucas 13:16; Jó 2:1.

And the Devil is the emperor of death Hebreus 2:14.

And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One; Hebreus 2:14.

And the emperor of death is the Dragon, who declares himself the Almighty god Deuteronômio 32:39. Look:

See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand. Deuteronômio 32:39; Isaías 45:5-7.

The Almighty Dragon is the God of all the earth Isaiah Isaías 54:5.

And Jesus Christ confirmed that the Almighty is the God of the living:

But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead but of the living. Mateus 22:31,32.

And the Almighty is the God of Israel Numbers Números 15:41. Because Jacob, grandson of Abraham and son of Isaac, had his name changed from Jacob to Israel. Genesis Gênesis 35:10.

This Almighty Dragon, God of Israel, Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 32:39, took from the house of the heavenly Father, the tree of life, a third of the heavenly angels. Revelation Apocalipse 12:3,4, Revelation Apocalipse 12:9.

Thus, in the heavenly house two-thirds of the heavenly angels remain, together with God the Father, in peace and perfect harmony James Tiago 1:17.

Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;
And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them. João 17:25,26.

The reason given by the Dragon, for taking us out of the heavenly Father's house, was to educate us in the knowledge of good and evil Gênesis 3:1-5.

But when we know evil, the Dragon, Almighty Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 32:39, held us prisoner on planet Earth; And he drew our knowledge from the tree of life, the house of the heavenly Father Gênesis 3:22-24.

This knowledge of the tree of life, the heavenly Father's house; that Satan took away from us, we have regained after knowing Jesus Christ John João 17:1-26.

All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear. Lucas 10:22.

After imprisoning us on planet Earth Gênesis 3:22-24; In the aftermath, the Almighty Dragon, wanted to exterminate his creation, in a deluge of water, claiming dissatisfaction with his human creatures Gênesis 6:6-8.

But the Almighty Dragon, creator of the living, bumped into God the Father's plan of Salvation, through Jesus Christ, whose seed was in the person of Noah. And therefore Noah and his family were preserved Gênesis 6:8.

Therefore, Jesus Christ's plan of Salvation is that, with Jesus, we are born again, and we return to the heavenly house John João 17:1-26.

Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being. João 17:24.

So, after Noah, the Almighty presented himself to Abram, another patriarch, who held the seed Jesus Christ Gênesis 15:1-21.

With Abram the Almighty made a covenant Gênesis 15:1-21.

In this alliance, the Dragon Almighty guaranteed the lineage of Jesus Christ, coming from Abram, the dominion over the entire planet Earth, at the time, represented by the people that Abram knew Gênesis 15:18-21.

Four hundred years was the time foreseen by the Almighty Dragon, for the formation of the people who would receive the fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham. Gênesis 15:13.

Therefore, Abram, who was the father of a people, came to be called Abraham Gênesis 17:5, since he would now be the father of many nations and Jacob his grandson, came to be called Israel Gênesis 35:10.

Then, the Almighty started walking with the Israelis, a people considered holy, for having the seed Jesus Christ Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 14:2; 1 Pedro 2:9.

When the four hundred years were completed, the Almighty appeared to an Israelite named Moses Exodus Êxodo 3:1-10.

And with Moses the Almighty confirmed the covenant made with Abraham Exodus Êxodo 3:8.

And he determined that Moses should hew two tables of stone, and on them he imprinted his covenant Exodus Êxodo 34:1-27.

Thus, the ten commandments that appear in Exodus Êxodo 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 5:1-21are a montage of the Israelite writers.

These commandments were formed from what was actually determined by the Almighty in Exodus Êxodo 34:1-27, which added to what was determined in Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 20:10-17, forms the true content of the covenant made with Abraham and confirmed with Moses Exodus Êxodo 34:1-27.

So instead of not killing, Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 5:17; The order on Moses' stone tablets determined the death of all the peoples of the promised land. Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 20:10-17. As for the other distant peoples, the Almighty determined that they should be enslaved, but in case of resistance to slavery, they should be exterminated. Look:

When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace. And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants. If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides: And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy. But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food. So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations. But in the towns of these peoples whose land the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, let no living thing be kept from death: Give them up to the curse; the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the Lord your God has given you orders: Deuteronômio 20:10-17; Josué 1:1-3; Josué 10:40.

And how the Israelite people refused to continue the extermination of the nations, after the death of Joshua; Since then, they began to fulfill the curses predicted by the Almighty, in the event of the breaking of the Leviticus Levítico 26:15-46 covenant; Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 28:15-68.

Therefore, when Jesus Christ was born, instead of finding his Israelite family, dominating all mankind Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 14:2, 1 Peter1 Pedro 2:9; Jesus Christ found his family embittered, despised, subjected to Roman slavery.

As a result, neither the Israelites nor the Gentiles received Jesus Christ, as a son of God, with the due respect that he deserved. Since, in fact, humanity was at war with the God of the living, the Almighty Dragon.

Until the arrival of Jesus Christ, mankind only knew the Almighty Dragon as God. Therefore, they questioned the covenant of Jesus Christ and his intentions John João 10:30-42.

Jesus knowing this revealed to the Israelites and through them to the Gentiles that the Almighty Dragon, their God, is actually the Devil. And Jesus spoke in these terms:

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false. João 8:44.

Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am. So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple. João 8:58,59.

And most humans were confused. Because the Israelites lived with the God of the living, and proved that the God of Israel was and is the Almighty God of mortals. Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 29:2-4.

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do? Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven. Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. João 6:30-32.

And so, the human beings of the time, for the most part, could not understand Jesus Christ and his covenant, and because of that, the Israelites crucified him. John João 19:18,19.

Because while the Almighty with his alliances determined that the Israelite people should kill the non-Israelites Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 20:10-17; Joshua Josué 1:1-3; Joshua Josué 10:40.

Jesus Christ, with his covenant, based on his blood shed on the cross, determined that human beings, in order to return to the heavenly Father's house, should prefer to die than kill their fellow men Matthew Mateus 5:38-45.

He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him. He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts... João 1:10-14.

Jesus declared to the Israelites that before him came thieves and robbers and that therefore they were not understood John João 10:7-11. Jesus was referring to the Almighty's alliances with the Israelite people, which were based on wars, pillage, robberies and murders Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 20:10-17; Joshua Josué 1:1-3; Joshua Josué 10:40.

Jesus proved by his life that God the Father, who remains in heaven, with two thirds of the angels, our brothers, of whom Jesus is the image, is love 1 John 1 João 4:16.

May God the Father love all his children, without distinction Acts Atos 10:34.

Jesus also taught that human beings, from the knowledge of his covenant, should be born again in spirit, preferring to die rather than kill other human beings. Matthew Mateus 5:1-48.

And Jesus made a covenant with human beings of good will who wanted to return to the heavenly home, shedding his own blood on the cross in our defense. Luke Lucas 23:34; Hebrews Hebreus 2:14,15.

Jesus made it clear that the Almighty opposes our salvation with Jesus Christ John João 12:40. And that the Almighty uses all kinds of artifices to confuse us. Isaiah Isaías 6:10-12.

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well. João 12:40.

Therefore, Jesus Christ lived and died witnessing the love of God the Father for us.

He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts. To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name: Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire. João 1:11-13.

This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do. João 15:12-27.

What Jesus commands us, with his testimony of the love of God the Father, is that we be good, honorable, honest, kind, merciful, patient people and that we seek to die rather than kill our fellow human beings. By doing so, we will be saved from the vengeance of the Almighty. Revelation Apocalipse 12:11.

But as most human beings are unable, by virtue of the evil that dwells in the flesh Romanos 7:14-25, to fulfill the covenant with Jesus Christ, then the vengeance of the living God will come, in these terms:

By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you: And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose: And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face. As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord. And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number: Ezequiel 20:33-37.

The statement of Ezekiel Ezequiel 20:33-37, means that, as it was in the days of Joshua Josué 10:40, all mankind will enter into fratricidal warfare Exodus Êxodo 32:27.

...Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them. Joel 2:1-3;

For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion. Sofonias 3:8;

The Holy Spirit of Truth warned the Israelites and other human beings that the Almighty will come to exterminate life on planet Earth Zephaniah Sofonias 1:1-3. And for this he will make use of the error operation 2 Thessalonians 2 Tessalonicenses 2:1-17.

The operation of error is a series of lies, deceptions, seductions, prodigies that the evil one will do together with human beings as his slaves, creating fratricide among human beings as he did in the time of Moses, only now in terms of humanity.

And he said to them, This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Let every man take his sword at his side, and go from one end of the tents to the other, putting to death his brother and his friend and his neighbour. Êxodo 32:27;

Therefore:

Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light... Amós 5:18,19.

Thus, during the rule of the living God on the planet earth: Ezekiel Ezequiel 20:33-37;

The living God will kill everyone, just and unjust: Ezequiel 21:4,5.

Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north: And all flesh will see that I the Lord have taken my sword out of its cover: and it will never go back. Ezequiel 21:4,5.

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short. Mateus 24:22.

And in the days when the Almighty is fulfilling this prophecy, there will be the convulsion of the solar system:

Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen. Isaías 24:23;

And the stars of heaven were falling to the earth, like green fruit from a tree before the force of a great wind. And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places. Apocalipse 6:13,14;

The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again. Isaías 24:20;

And only then will Jesus Christ come to take us to his abode: João 14:1-3.

But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved: And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Mateus 24:29-31;

Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me. In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you? And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am. João 14:1-3.

So only those who are truly blind in their understanding of Isaiah
Isaías 6:10, do not understand that the day of vengeance of the living God is a time of trial, anger, betrayal, suffering, pain; and happiness for those who die in the love of God the Father, witnessed by Jesus Christ Revelation  Apocalipse 14:13.

Thus, everyone who is born in this nature is inscribed in the book of the living God and with the living God, condemned to hell, to the second death.

But God the Father sent us salvation through Jesus Christ, who, dying on the cross, paid the ransom for all who did not know him, and deserved to be saved; in addition to providing those who knew him, the possibility of following his model and being saved from the second death with Satan Revelation Apocalipse 20:10.

And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me. Marcos 8:34.

And carrying our crosses, we can write our names in the Lamb's Book of Life, being whistles to return to Heavenly Father's house.

The big problem is that religion doesn't know who to serve if the Almighty, or Jesus Christ. Luke Lucas 16:13.

As indeed the Almighty offers his followers all the riches of the world Isaiah Isaías 60:2-5.

While Jesus Christ says that his followers should have no attachment to the things of the world Luke Lucas 9:2,3.

He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever. João 12:25.

For this very reason, the apostles had difficulty in understanding and preaching the testimony of the love of God the Father, according to Jesus Christ.

Some remained faithful to the Old Testament Luke Lucas 5:36-39.

These remained in the covenant of circumcision, in the law of the living God, of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, of love for friends and hatred for enemies, on the grounds that we should be subject to dominions and powers Jude Judas 1:7-9; 2 Pedro 2:10,11.  

And so, they returned to the practices of the ministry of death and damnation:

You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you: Mateus 5:43.

And claiming that the old wine was better Luke Lucas 5:39, they denied the commandment of the True God of the living, Jesus Christ which determines:

But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;
So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven Mateus 5:44,45.

They did not notice what Jesus had told them about the ministry of death and condemnation:

And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction. But new wine has to be put into new wine-skins. And no man, having had old wine, has any desire for new, for he says, The old is better. Lucas 5:37-39.

And so they returned to the Jewish commandments and fables:

This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith, Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge. Tito 1:13,14;

Among these we find the apostle Peter, who for a long time turned the gospel of Jesus Christ upside down Acts Atos 5:1-11.

The apostle Peter Acts Atos 5:1-11, using the power of the word, killed for a petty financial motive, inside the church and at the foot of the altar, the innocent newly converted, Ananias and Sapphira.

A barbaric crime Acts Atos 5:1-11, totally contrary to the love of God the Father, witnessed and lived by Jesus Christ. For if we are to love and pray for our enemies, what should we not do for our friends? Matthew Mateus 5:38-45.

But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out. And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband. Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things. Atos 5:1-11.

There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love. 1 João 4:18;

And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him. 1 João 4:16;

And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother. 1 João 4:21;

Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;
Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil; It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;
Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things. 1 Coríntios 13:4-7;

He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love. 1 João 4:8.

Well, all the apostles were martyred and proved their love for Jesus Christ, and they are certainly saved in the love of God the Father. However, these apostolic errors created an environment favorable to the living God and unfavorable to the love of God the Father, hence the confusion that Christian religious are in our day.

For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them; And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories. 2 Timóteo 4:3,4;

Another version: But reject profane and crone fables, and train yourself in godliness; 1 Timothy 4:7; 1 Timóteo 4:7.

For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God. I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me. I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing. Gálatas 2:17-21;

For before But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews? We being Jews by birth, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness. Gálatas 2:8-16.

As we observe Galatians Gálatas 2:17-21; Galatians Gálatas 2:8-16, the apostle Pablo was a very enlightened person who understood perfectly that the Old Testament was the ministry of death and condemnation and that it was completely opposed to the ministry of life and justice of Jesus 2 Coríntios 3:1-14.

Even because the apostle received his mission very clearly: He should leave the ministry of death and condemnation of Satan and start serving the ministry of love and life of the Spirit of God the Father:

For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it: Gálatas 1:13;

And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers. Gálatas 1:14.

But the apostle Paul receives the order from Jesus Christ that he should leave the Jewish religion he professed to serve in the ministry of life and the Spirit witnessed by Jesus Christ. And his conversion happened this way:

In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me. And when we had all gone down on the earth, a voice came to me, saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly? It is hard for you to go against the impulse which is driving you.
And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking. But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me; And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me. Atos 26:13-18.

And from the day of his conversion, the apostle Paul began to preach against those who followed circumcision, because it had been revealed to him that this was Satan's ministry of death and condemnation 2 Coríntios 3:1-18.

Against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:
For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:
Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:
Being given circumcision on the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in relation to the law, a Pharisee: In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.
But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.
Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward...  Filipenses 3:2-12;

Later, however, we see the apostle Paul, or one of his followers saying:

But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher; And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timóteo 3:14,15;

With these words the apostle rebuilt what he had destroyed. Galatians Gálatas 2:17-21.

The apostle Paul had made clear the need to break with the Old Testament scriptures, which the apostle Paul claimed were abolished by Jesus Christ 2 Corinthians 2 Coríntios 3:1-18.

Because the apostle Paul from experience, before he was converted, was a persecutor of the church Galatians Gálatas 1:13. Then the apostle says:

For if I put up again those things which I gave to destruction, I am seen to be a wrongdoer. For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.
I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing. Gálatas 2:18-21;

Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward, Filipenses 3:8.

However, the apostle Paul now says that, all scriptures are divinely inspired and foundational for a man of God to be perfect 2 Timothy 2 Timóteo 3:16,17:

Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness: So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work. 2 Timóteo 3:16,17;

But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One. Mateus 5:37.

Of course, I understand what the apostle meant. For otherwise how could I serve Jesus Christ if I didn't know the scriptures?

However, many forget because they want to or because they are naive, Jesus knows; that all scripture has some value to human beings, only if it is read from the knowledge of Jesus Christ 2 Timóteo 3:15.

And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timóteo 3:15.

But nothing can denigrate the work of the apostle Paul who declared:

For to me life is Christ and death is profit. Filipenses 1:19-21;

I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith: From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation. 2 Timóteo 4:7,8.

Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.
For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. Efésios 6:11,12.

As we see, it is necessary to watch our every word and attitude, constantly, because the living God works in our members Romans Romanos 7:1-23, as the apostle Paul well observed and if we do not watch as Jesus Christ said Mark Marcos 14:38, we will easily be denigrating the love of God the Father, witnessed by Jesus Christ, with our thoughtless words and attitudes.

For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do. But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me. In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,
But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh. Romanos 7:19-23;

Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble. Marcos 14:38.

And if we want to overcome the ministry of death and condemnation of the living God, in his day of vengeance, we will have to live the determinations of Jesus Christ, which Jesus lived and witnessed, applying himself to us and to other human beings, the love of God the Father. And that's why Jesus Christ says:

But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you; So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven Mateus 5:44,45.

For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven. Mateus 5:20;

But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ. 2 Coríntios 3:14.

Hence the importance of receiving the wisdom of the Holy Spirit of Truth, so that you can overcome the cunning of the living God, who says:

(See, I come as a thief. Happy is he who is watching and keeps his robes, so that he may not go unclothed, and his shame be seen.) And they got them together into the place which is named in Hebrew Armageddon. Apocalipse 16:15,16;

The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure. João 10:10; Mateus 24:7,8; Sofonias 3:8.

And from the confusion thrown by the living God in humanity, so that we may not be saved by Jesus Christ, all the evils that infested religion came.

And initially the Israelites and Romans killed Christians:

And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit. And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest. Atos 7:59,60.

Later, Romans and Christians martyred Jews; Afterwards, Christians martyred Jews and Muslims; finally Muslims martyred Christians and now, in the days of the vengeance of the living God, Jews and Muslims will holocaust other human beings. All under the direct orders of the living God.

For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places; But all these things are the first of the troubles. Mateus 24:7,8; Isaías 19:2.

And I will send to all my mountains for a sword against him, says the Lord: every man's sword will be against his brother. Ezequiel 38:21; Zacarias 14:13.

And just like in the days in the wilderness, when the Israelites killed their neighbors and then killed themselves, they will do it again now. Only now, involving all of humanity. Exodus Êxodo 32:27; Ezekiel Ezequiel 38:23.

It is a horrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31; Hebreus 10:31;

Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? It is dark and not light.
As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake. Amós 5:18,19;

For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come. Isaías 63:4;

For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion. Isaías 34:8;

And will go out to put in error the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to get them together to the war, the number of whom is like the sands of the sea. Apocalipse 20:8; Zacarias 13:8,9.

Therefore, now in our time, the Almighty will show his face again to the Israelite people Ezekiel Ezequiel 20:33.

And as the Holy Spirit of Truth guided us, through the apostle Paul, the Almighty will present to the Israelites the son of sin 2 Thessalonians 2 Tessalonicenses 2:1-17, the one who will lead the Israelites to the world fratricide. Ezekiel Ezequiel 9:4-11; Zephaniah Sofonias 1:1-3.

During the operation of the error of the son of sin 2 Thessalonians 2 Tessalonicenses 2:1-17, there will be a convulsion of the solar system Revelation Apocalipse 6:12-14; 2 Pedro 3:10.

And only then, before the planet ceases to exist Isaiah Isaías 24:20, will Jesus Christ return to take us to his heavenly abode.

And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Mateus 24:30,31;

And the Evil One who put them in error was sent down into the sea of ever-burning fire, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their punishment will go on day and night for ever and ever. Apocalipse 20:10.

And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works. Apocalipse 20:12.

The suffering of the Israeli people Leviticus Levítico 26:15-46; Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 28:15-68, who are the family members of Jesus Christ, is a fatal warning, that if the Almighty so treated the holy people Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 14:2, what will He not do to us? Hebrews Hebreus 10:26-31.

But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children. For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk. And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us. For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry? Lucas 23:28-31; Apocalipse 6:12-17.

As we know Jesus Christ not only refused to worship the Almighty Luke Lucas 4:5-8, but also broke with the covenants of Abraham and Moses Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 20:10-17; Exodus Êxodo 34:1-27; Joshua Josué 10:40. Making a new covenant with human beings, based on his blood shed on the cross, which determined that instead of killing other human beings, now to be considered saints, and to be saved, we would have to die rather than kill Matthew Mateus 5:38-45.

And just like the holy people, the Israelites the family of Jesus Christ, when they failed to fulfill their covenant with the Almighty to kill all non-Israelites Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 20:10-17; Exodus Êxodo 34:1-27; Joshua Josué 10:40, were condemned to all kinds of curses, among which they had to eat the flesh of their own children Leviticus Levítico 26:15-46; Deuteronomy Deuteronômio 28:15-68. Likewise, Jesus Christ, by refusing to worship Satan Luke Lucas 4:5-8, the Almighty Isaiah Isaías 44:6, was compelled to carry his cross and shed his blood in our behalf, and witness to his covenant with us. Luke Lucas 23:28-31.

Just as the holy people, the family of Jesus Christ, failed to fulfill their covenant with the Almighty, which consisted in their killing all other nations Deuteronômio 20:10-17; Exodus Êxodo 34:1-27; Joshua Josué 10:40;

Likewise, human beings in general are failing to fulfill the covenant with Jesus Christ, which is that human beings in general choose death over having to kill another human being Mateus 5:38-45.  

As a consequence, all apocalyptic prophecies will befall humanity. And happy are the dead that die in the Lord Jesus Christ Revelation Apocalipse 14:12,13.

So since most human beings have not endured the covenant of Jesus Christ Matthew Mateus 5:38-45. The Almighty is returning as promised in Ezekiel Ezekiel Ezequiel 20:35-37. And he will summon, the Israelites who did not convert to the covenant of Jesus Christ, so that this time, they fulfill the extermination of the other nations Revelation Apocalipse 13:7-10; Ezekiel Ezequiel 9:1-11.

As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord. And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number: Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord. Ezequiel 20:36-38.

And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear. Hebreus 12:21;

And now, at the end of time, they will be subjected to the final spectacle. Because the Almighty is returning to show his face, not for the salvation of the Israelites, but to lead them to earthly Jerusalem and later to the flames of hell, the second death.

The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings? Isaías 33:14;

Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue: Isaías 28:15;

And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them. Isaías 28:18;

And the Almighty justifies his return, saying that he is fulfilling his prophecies regarding the covenants made with the Israelites in the Old Testament.

As a result, humanity will enter into a fratricide that will end up wiping out humans from planet Earth, as sworn by the living and almighty God, the emperor of death Zephaniah Sofonias 1:1-3.  

However, when the Israelites discover the Almighty's true intentions, which is to lead all his own to hell; the Israelites, as in the days of the desert, will again not bear the malignity of the Almighty, and will be slain in the same manner, as they will now do to their human brethren, with all refinement of cruelty. And happy are those who can die. Ezekiel Ezequiel 9:1-11.

And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord. And they will go out to see the dead bodies of the men who have done evil against me: for their worm will ever be living, and their fire will never be put out, and they will be a thing of fear to all flesh. Isaías 67:23,24;

And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them Apocalipse 9:6;

For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people. We may well go in fear of falling into the hands of the living God. Hebreus 10:28-31.

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free. João 8:32.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ. João 1:17.

So it is our duty and obligation to continue to say what Jesus said; and Stephen the first martyr confirmed:

And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance. Lucas 23:34.

And the apostle Paul himself benefited from the forgiveness of Stephen, the first martyr:

But he was full of the Holy Spirit, and looking up to heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus at the right hand of God.
And he said, Now I see heaven open, and the Son of man at the right hand of God. But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together, Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul. And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit. And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest. Atos 7:55-60.

Seeing Stephen's martyrdom, we understand how the apostle Paul, who at that time of Stephen's execution, was called Saul, changed after he was born again with Jesus Christ.

And, attentive to the witness of the love of God the Father, lived by Jesus Christ, we must remain firm in the commandments of Jesus Christ:

But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,
Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you. If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.
Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.
Do to others as you would have them do to you. Lucas 6:27-31;

For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. Efésios 6:12;

And against the principalities, powers and princes of darkness of this age, our weapon is Jesus Christ.

And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death. Apocalipse 12:11.

As we see in Revelation Apocalipse 12:11, our victory is announced, against the living God Almighty, who does good and evil, together with all his principalities, powers, and evil spiritual hosts, through the blood of Jesus Christ, through the word of his testimony, and also because, in fulfillment of his commandment, we would rather die than kill.

Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride: Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing. For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit: And let him be turned from evil and do good; searching for peace and going after it with all his heart. 1 Pedro 3:8-11;

Following the good direction of the apostle Peter, who, as we see, corrected his understanding of the witness of the love of God the Father, according to Jesus Christ; He corrected his murderous conduct from Acts Atos 5:1-11, where he killed Ananias and Sapphira by the power of the word and as we now see 1 Pedro 3:8-11, he returned to the witness of the love of God the Father, lived by Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us do the same, let us fight against the evil inclination of our flesh, which prevents us from living the commandments of Jesus Christ. And just as the apostle Peter was regenerated in the love of God the Father, let us do the same. It is in this lesson that we will continue our revelation, THE REVENGE OF THE LIVING GOD - PART TWELVE.
