Endurance...Standing Firm in Tribulation

This post will be unusually short, if you read my blog, you know how long my posts can be. This stemmed from my wakeup call (severe trial) this morning at 2am. It's how I am inspired to do most of my posts, but not all are from waking up to severe trials. 

I always find it humorous, funny but not funny, to watch countless YouTubers, all kinds of social media teachers, leaders of man-made churches or leaders of any kind, falsely teaching about the rapture and the tribulation...sadly, many even going as far as setting timestamps for the tribulation.

First off, the rapture has nothing to do with flying into the sky and going to the literal heavens (skies) as taught in movies like "Left Behind". Nor is it dying on earth and going up to heaven to be with the Lord Jesus, these are false teachings stemming from the brick-and mortar churches - false religion. (Hebrews 12:26-29)

Second, the tribulation that they're expecting and speaking of, has already taken place in 2019. These making it obvious that they don't know, nor comprehend, what it means to be in the Spirit of truth and that it is indwelling, coming alive when one is born again. (Acts 9:1-19) One deals with severe trials at first and eventually becomes aware of the presence of the Lord Jesus and of the Father. (Matthew 11:25-27) First enduring severe tribulation, not of this world, yet of this world (2 Corinthians 12:2-4) ...eventually, receiving an overwhelming peace and growing in understanding of God's word, being taught by the Father through Jesus, while still enduring severe trials. (Luke 14:25-35)

At that time (2019), I did not know what transhumanism was, and although I knew we were headed for something big... I did not know that they would set off a massive pandemic, shutting down the world. (Practice run for what's to come.) For that matter, I was still a baby in scripture, not remembering much about the Bible for the exception of a few writings that I had learned from infancy. (2 Timothy 3:14-17)

God has taught me well. (1 John 2:27) 


In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
— 2 Timothy 4:8

Being born again is an individual experience, it's not something you will ever get from within brick-and-mortar buildings, man-made religion. (Acts 7:48-53) It's not from their hired hands (John 10:12-13), taking claim of what's NOT theirs (1 Samuel 4:12-22) and charging for it in donations, taking an income. (Matthew 6:24) These deceive the masses into believing in them, instead of God. (Matthew 15:14; Acts 20:29-30). 

These will claim and truly believe that they are a mouthpiece for God, being exalted in their belief and never realizing they are the false light instead. They are the false prophet, the false Christ's (Matthew 24:23) ...false anointed ones. (2 Corinthians 11:13) Satan was ever so clever, that they can't see how they've been deceived since the beginning of the "Church Age". (2 Timothy 3:1-8, 13)

“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since that time the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone is FORCING HIS WAY into it.
— Luke 16:16

These haven't tested the spirits, instead they unknowingly follow after demonic spirits (James 3:15), being deceived because of their own heart's desire, exalted in their own understanding. (Matthew 19:19-20) Desiring what is not theirs to take, bearing false witness, while killing (dismissing, persecuting, slandering) God's true prophets (Isaiah 5:20), failing the ten commandments (Genesis 3:6; Exodus 20:1-17) ...the two greatest commandments. (Matthew 22:37-40) Claiming to have love but the denying the power of it. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) Then going on to teach lies, misleading countless. (Jeremiah 9:5)

Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature (👉human wisdom: man-made religion, scholars, religious leaders, etc.) rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
— Romans 1:24-25

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
— 2 Timothy 4:3-4

But each one is tempted when he is carried away and ENTICED BY HIS OWN LUST. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully matured, it brings forth death.
— James 1:14-15

These causing divisions by their religious sects, denominations and false beliefs...

But you, beloved, must remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” These are the ones who cause DIVISIONS, worldly-minded, NOT HAVING the SPIRIT.
— Jude 17-19

In 2019, I wrote countless letters to many during my ministry with the JWs about how we've entered an era of increased knowledge (Daniel 12:4) and how an occurrence would take place like never before experienced. (Daniel 12:1) Sure enough, the pandemic hit shortly after. Then, a year or so later, someone in Australia read my blog and reached out to me, eventually sharing a video with me on transhumanism. I was amazed to see how it was all connected, everything started to click and puzzle pieces began falling into place.

Mentioned in my previous blog post: 

"God will always put the right person in your path when needed."

I've been sharing my story (tribulation beginning in 2019) since I started my blog in 2020. (Daniel 8:12) The tribulation that is to come, is not the one that has already taken place and currently ongoing (Matthew 24:9,15), it will be the great tribulation...leading to Armageddon. (Matthew 24:21-22, 29-31)

My suffering has not stopped; it happens in many forms, spiritually, physically and from those around me. In May I had a hole in my heart that was repaired, getting a PFO enclosure, finally finding some relief from migraines, mini-strokes, and heart issues that I thought would surely end my life. Although I've received some relief, my body continues to be attacked, sometimes so badly, that I can't comprehend why God has allowed it to go on for so long. 

I started today's blog post because I woke up to extreme, severe pain in my joints, on the entire right side of my body. It went from my neck to my elbow, from my hip and leg to my knee (most intense and extreme), and eventually to my ankle. At first, I thought I was dreaming that I was in so much pain, until I woke up from it, finding it was reality.

As I lay in my bed, in tears and feeling angry, wondering why I must continue to suffer so much and in so many ways. I take it to my Father, asking for clarity...at the moment, not getting it. Feeling frustrated and in despair, I tell him how I feel; that him allowing these attacks to take place, is the same as if he were complicit to it. Feeling very hurt by him, thoughts start to surface on how I'm once again left alone to fight this battle. 

I've had similar experiences like this many times before, here's an example of one: 


Excerpt:

"I didn't need to lose who I was as an individual because God had abandoned me. I could still be me, a loving person, even if God was not there anymore. I would not turn back to the world, as I did when I was a very young child and throughout most of my life. I was finally at peace with being myself, who I was as an individual and I would not allow this world, nor Satan and his demons to define me once again.

I felt that I would remain loyal to the love inside of me, at least until Satan would finally be allowed to take me, maybe for good this time.

It would be out of my hands. As a child I didn't know better, and I looked to the world for answers and help. The church was the last place I wanted to go to. It was all corrupt. Now I'm an adult and I know better. I could simply hold on to my dignity, my integrity, my heart, and wherever my life went, it went.

I searched for what was deep inside of me, my heart, my spirit and held on to it. That's where I found the love of God waiting for me and that's where God was the entire time. I followed my heart and truly found where God was residing. He was inside of me. GOD IS LOVE and my weapon was LOVE."

End excerpt.

As the pain starts to subside, I start to reflect on why I must keep enduring this, why can't he just let me go and have my rest. Now, here come the spiritual attacks, twisting and misguiding the truth, playing tricks on my mind to turn me against God. Reminding me of how much I've suffered since I've returned to him in 2019, wanting me to feel resentment towards my Father. Although I (once again) feel hurt and abandoned by my Father, I will not give up, relying on my own integrity of who I am as a person, I continue to fight these demons, refusing to give in. 

Now, I'm once again reminded about the story of Job, and how God used him as proof to Satan that there will be those who will stand strong in faith regardless of how much they are oppressed and regardless of how much they fast (feeling like God is no longer backing them, no help from the Spirit) ...revealing their true faith in their hearts. 

If I have walked with worthlessness,
And my foot has hastened after deceit,
Let Him weigh me with just scales,
And let God know my integrity.
If my step has turned from the way,
Or my heart followed my eyes,
Or if any spot has stuck to my hands,
Let me sow and another eat,
And let my crops be uprooted.
— Job 31:5-8

Now, here I am, writing more testimony on it. It's how God does it. He allows me to be severely tested, if I'm successful, Satan is proven wrong. I then proceed ahead...receiving more clarity and receiving peace, once again. I share my story as testimony, for when the time comes to gather the elect. (Matthew 24:24) 

If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.
— 1 Corinthians 3:14

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
— James 1:12

When I faced my tribulation in 2019, I knew very little about scripture. Being clueless, I knew not what to expect. It was frightening, learning it is NOTHING like what the false man-made churches teach. It was quite the opposite of a glorious awakening. It was like walking through fire and facing much darkness with varying severe trials, many that continue to this day. 

There will be those who are meant to read my posts, God knows who they are. Unlike me, these now have testimony on what to expect, and how to STAND FIRM in faith, when the great tribulation hits.

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himselfso that YOU WILL NOT grow weary, fainting in heart.
— Hebrews 12:1-3

To all reading this, please stop listening to man...human wisdom, it's deception. Focus ONLY on God from within...TRUE LOVE. Only those aligned with the True God, the Father, will find him. Sadly, unlike what many churches teach, it will only be a remnant (small group). Most "believers" will be deceived into thinking it's them, but these are blind and hard of hearing...deceived. 

Only God knows those who truly belong to him, no mere man can reveal it.

For the anxious longing of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
— Romans 8:19

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to depart from wickedness.”
— 2 Timothy 2:19

It's a SPIRITUAL church, it's NOT anything seen, like the false brick-and-mortar churches... 

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain NOR IN JERUSALEM will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews (👉SPIRITUAL). But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in SPIRIT and TRUTH.”
— John 4:21-24

In that Day, Week, Year...Seventh Day Rest

There is plenty to chew on here, those who need to understand, will. 

Days, weeks and years are all the same to God, as is the hour or half hour, because God is not limited by time. Much of it is used in symbolism. Here's an example, the 6th day in Genesis can refer to the thousand years (millennial reign); just as the "favorable year" in Isaiah can be one day and refer to the 7th day rest (Sabbath). Only the one true God Jehovah, who is the Father, reveals it to whom he so chooses.

Jesus Christ: Lord of the Sabbath...

And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him.
And He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,

“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.”
— Luke 4:17-19

But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here. But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire compassion, and not a sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
— Matthew 12:6-8

Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later, but Christ was faithful as a Son over His housewhose house we are, IF WE HOLD FAST our confidence and the boast of our hope.
— Hebrews 3:5-6

For we have become partakers of Christ, IF WE HOLD FAST the beginning of our assurance FIRM UNTIL the END, while it is said,
TODAY if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
— Hebrews 3:14-15 

 The Favorable Year of the LORD: Jehovah...

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

— Exodus 20:8



The Spirit of Lord JEHOVAH is upon me

Because Jehovah has anointed me

To bring good news to the afflicted;

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

To proclaim release to captives

And freedom to prisoners,

To proclaim the favorable year of Jehovah

And the day of vengeance of our God,

To comfort all who mourn,

— Isaiah 61:1-2

Recently I came across a video, it was by Jewish scholar Nehemia Gordon: The Church Fathers Without John 6:4 

The discussion is about Jesus' ministry and whether or not he ministered for one year, three, or more. I never took the time to focus on how long the ministry was, I just assumed it was a little over 3 years, as it is taught in the man-made churches. As I watched this video, God gave me clarity on the one year by reminding me of how Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. This video instantly sparked my interest in the length of Jesus' ministry, God revealing the symbolism of the one-year ministry to the seventh day rest, the Sabbath Day.   

As always, God's timing is perfect!!!

When did this all begin?

"For behold, the KINGDOM of GOD 👉 is in YOUR MIDST.”
— Luke 17:21

Lord of the thousand-year reign, for the Sabbath Day (7th day rest) ...

And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
— Luke 10:18
 
Satan, in crucifying Jesus, he condemned himself...

For with what judgment you judgeyou will be judged;
and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
— Matthew 7:2

He made Him who knew no sin TO BE SIN on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
— 2 Corinthians 5:21

 Satan judged and locked away...

and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
— John 16:11

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were finishedAfter these things he must be released for a SHORT TIME 
— Revelation 20:1-3 

Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their witness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and who also had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on 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 finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
—Revelation 20:4-6 
  • How has this taken place?

The deception (confusion/Babylon) of man-made religions runs deep. The beginning of creation starts with the last Adam, being born again (Genesis 1:26-27), not with Genesis 2; it's a new creation, a new covenant. Genesis 2-3 is the plan set in action, revealing chaos and sin. Eve desiring (coveting) wisdom (knowledge) and taking (stealing) what didn't belong to her. (Genesis 3:6; Exodus 20:15, 17)

  • Is that any different than what Babylon, false religion does?

And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
— Genesis 11:4

Forcing their way in: Coveting and taking what's not theirs to take, in turn, breaking all of God's commandments...

“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since that time the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
— Luke 16:16

False (man-made) religion teaching lies, not comprehending what it means to be born of the Spirit...

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
— John 3:5-8

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
— 1 Corinthians 15:45

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
— 2 Corinthians 5:17

“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: This is what the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says:
— Revelation 3:14

Jesus being the first👆of many...

Because those whom HE FOREKNEW, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the FIRSTBORN among many brothers; and those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified; and those whom He justified, He also glorified.
— Romans 8:29-30 

  • Who are those God foreknew? 
  • Could it be those Satan took and imprisoned and dragged down to earth?

When the perception of the false prophet is clouded...

Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems. And his tail swept g4951 away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
— Revelation 12:3-4

Swept G4951draw, to drag: τί, John 21:8; Revelation 12:4; τινα, one (before the judge, to prison, to punishment.



These angels that were tossed down by Satan, he accuses them, sending them to prison...earth. These tossed angels now needing to be born again. After these angels are tossed down, a war breaks out, it is then that Satan and his demons (bad angels) are thrown down, it's because of his accusations. 

Yet, if you read commentary on this or ask those of the man-made churches, they will tell you these angels (Rev 12:4) are bad angels who sided with Satan. That is FALSE. They will also tell you that the prophecy in the following verse has been fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes, that too is FALSE.

And on account of transgression (rebellion) the HOST will be given over to the horn along with the regular sacrifice; and it will throw TRUTH down to the ground and do its will and succeed.
— Daniel 8:12

 No, this angel is not Gabriel as taught by many...

However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Now there is no one who exerts strength with me against these forces except Michael your prince.
— Daniel 10:21

See Facebook posts made on July 2, 2025. 

  • What does an accuser do? 
  • Does he charge someone with an offense?
After this, a war breaks out, it is then Michael and his angels throw down Satan with his bad angels...

And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
— Revelation 12:7-9

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the ACCUSER OF OUR BROTHERS has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.
— Revelation 12:10
  • What does it mean to foreknow someone?
  • Could it mean that God literally had previous knowledge of them?
God has not rejected His people (👉tribe) whom He FORENEW. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed Your prophets, they have torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.” But what does the divine response say to him? “I have left for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” In this way then, at the present time, a REMNANT according to God’s gracious choice has also come to be.
— Romans 11:2-5

The AWAKE VIRGINS, sealed/marked on their foreheads, the remnant (Eze 9:4; Re 7:3-4) ...

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
— Acts 2:4

This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this which you both SEE and HEAR. — Acts 2:32-33

Jesus has authority of heaven and earth, being first and last... never forget that there are many architypes (shadows) of future events. Literal events used to symbolize future events.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
— Matthew 28:18

Therefore, no one is to judge you in food and drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a SABBATH DAY— things which are only a SHADOW of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
— Colossians 2:16-17

When Satan and his angels are thrown down...

For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a SHORT TIME.”
— Revelation 12:12

He (Satan) persecutes the woman (bride) in Christ, she is at the feet of Jesus (Daniel 2:41-45), being the last virgin and first to see Jesus at his return... 

And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
— Revelation 12:13

    • Mary then took a litra of perfume of very costly pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. — John 12:3
      • Significance of Ruth and Boaz. — Ruth 3:7-9
    • But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the WISDOM which has been HIDDEN, which God predestined before the ages to our glory, — 1 Corinthians 2:7 
    • As for the MYSTERY of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the ANGELS of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. — Revelation 1:20
To understand it, only God can reveal it...

And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the MYSTERIES of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
— Luke 8:10

Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may PROPHESY. For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks MYSTERIES.
— 1 Corinthians 14:1-2

And as for you, the anointing whom you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as He has taught you, abide in Him.
— 1 John 2:27
  • Prophecy is known when?
Prophecy Understood in Hindsight
This is especially true for vague or symbolic prophecies. It suggests the certainty of the event's occurrence from the prophet's perspective. After the event, people can recognize the prophecy's fulfillment, even if the details were unclear beforehand. 

As He says also in Hosea,
“I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’
And HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, ‘beloved.’”
— Romans 9:25

And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand of the sea
👉it is the REMNANT that will be saved;
— Romans 9:27

And I heard the number of those having been SEALED, 144,000 sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
— Revelation 7:4
  • What is an archetype?
Archetype: original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or copies : prototype.


Yet WISDOM is VINDICATED by all her children.”
— Luke 7:35



The VOICE of the SPIRIT (Jesus Christ) and the BRIDE (heaven and earth, two witnesses) ... 

“I, JESUS, sent MY ANGEL to bear witness to you of these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” And the SPIRIT and the BRIDE say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wishes receive the water of life without cost.

— Revelation 22:16-17
  • Who was the first to see Jesus?
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).
— John 20:16

Mary Magdalene (g3094 tower) came, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
— John 20:18

She is a foreshadow of another to come...

SHE will be led to the King in embroidered work; (rainbow/promise)
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
— Psalm 45:14

"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be compared to ten virgins; the same took their lamps and went to meet the GROOM and the BRIDE. — Matthew 25:6 (Aramaic - Catholic Bibles)
  • But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’— Matthew 25:6
  • And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut— Matthew 25:10
After the tribulation of those days (currently ongoing until the lights dwindle) Christ returns with his bride and gathers the elect...

“But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
— Matthew 24:29-31

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
— 1 Thessalonians 4:17

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” Now this expression, “Yet once more,” indicates the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a KINGDOM which CANNOT be SHAKEN, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.
— Hebrews 12:25-29
  • Who remains?
Half of the city; think awake virgins (five of the ten), or one of two.

Then there will be two in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding grain at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
— Matthew 24:40-41

Indeed, I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and HALF THE CITY will go forth in exile, but THOSE LEFT of the people WILL NOT be cut off from the city.
— Zechariah 14:2

And it will be IN THAT DAY, that there will be NO LIGHT; the luminaries will dwindle.
— Zechariah 14:6

Then no more Holy Spirit, no more voice, THIRD WOE, Satan is released... 


    • For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. — 2 Thessalonians 2:7
    • and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the VOICE of the BRIDEGROOM and BRIDE WILL NOT be HEARD IN YOU any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. — Revelation 18:23
The deception is great, as mentioned in Romans 9:27 “Though the NUMBER of the sons of Israel (👉sons of God) be like the SAND of the SEA, it is the REMNANT that will be saved."

And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; 
👉 the NUMBER of them is like the SAND of the SEASHORE.
— Revelation 20:7-8

I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
Nevertheless you will die like men
And you will fall like one of the princes.”
— Psalm 82:6-7

Many love to claim Apostle Paul was a fraud...
  • WHY?
Because they don't comprehend the symbolism, unfortunately going on to teach their own human wisdom, many claiming that he was a false Apostle. 
  • What if they're wrong, what does it make them besides a false teacher?
You don't have to agree with Apostle Paul, you can explain why you don't have faith in his writings, but to claim he is a false Apostle is to judge him.

The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in what he approves.
— Romans 14:22

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted. But the one who examines me is the Lord. Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and make manifest the motives of hearts. And then each one’s praise will come to him from God.
— 1 Corinthians 4:4-5

But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God.
— James 3:8-9

Do not slander one another, brothers. He who slanders a brother or judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.
— James 4:11

Then you have those who do believe him to be an apostle of God and follow his words too literally, not understanding the symbolism and being okay to accept many controversial verses to be literal and applying it, revealing their own true nature, true hearts. (Hebrews 4:12-13)

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
— James 3:10

Can a fig tree, my brothers, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can saltwater produce fresh.
— James 3:12

This wisdom is not coming down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
— James 3:15

When you know NOT the scriptures...

Therefore, beloved, since you are looking for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE DISTORT, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
— 2 Peter 3:14-16

Teaching God's word is not to be taken lightly...yet the majority of you do it, what's worse, many of you also accept money (Caesar/false god) for it...greedy gain. Most having ENVY and DESIRING what does not belong to you. It has to be you, being unable to accept that you can be wrong. That's not humility.


The deception of the devil, so very cunning that most have fallen for the trap. True hearts revealed. Instead of being humble, laying low and simply caring for the needy, you take it upon yourselves to teach God's word as if it's something common or simple, when in fact much of what you teach is false because you THINK you understand but don't. Never truly testing the spirits and going to the Father for understanding, forgetting where the false spirit sits and the role he plays. The temple of God is in your mind and heart, if it's not aligned with God, it's aligned with the enemy.

Thankfully, God will use it to his advantage, as he can guide anyone with Holy Spirit, "believer" or not. Everyone has a piece of the puzzle and only those who are not partial to any will be able to collect those pieces. I've watched and shared videos of all kinds of "believers" and non-believers, finding countless nuggets.

The apostasy has already begun, it started way back when, what many call the church age, they are the false (man-made) temples/churches, resisting the Holy Spirit and it continues to today. (Acts 7:48-53)

Let NO ONE in any way deceive you, for it has not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the sanctuary of God, EXHIBITING HIMSELF AS BEING GOD.
— 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

God's anointed are not confused with the timing, falsely predicting the end. I've heard this taught by many well-known scholars, and others, that the Lord Jesus and Apostle Paul were wrong on the timing, that among other things. Putting that message out there is false, it's human wisdom not Godly wisdom.

Therefore, let us fear, lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have fallen short of it. For indeed we have had good news proclaimed to us, just as they also; but the word that was heard DID NOT PROFIT those who were NOT united with faith among those who heard. For we WHO have BELIEVED ENTER THAT REST, just as He has said,
“As I swore in My wrath,
They shall not enter My rest,”
although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.
— Hebrews 4:1-3

Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news proclaimed to them failed to enter because of disobedience,
— Hebrews 4:6

For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall into the same example of disobedience.
— Hebrews 4:10-11

What GOD DOESN'T SAY pure and undefiled religion is: 

  • Build brick and mortar buildings. (Acts 7:48-53)
  • Have people follow you. (Acts 20:30)
  • Become a dealer and sell it to uncritical thinkers. (Matthew 25:9; Revelation 13:16-18)
  • Teach man-made traditions and creeds that MUST be followed. (Colossians 2:18-23)
  • Teach them to be partial by accepting your creeds, rules and traditions. (James 2:9) 
  • Take donations from the poor and earn an income from it. (bribe: h7810). (Micah 3:11; John 10:12-13)

Christianity is the false prophet, most of it making Jesus equal to God, claiming he is omniscient (knowing everything), making excuses and distorting the TRUTH, following after creeds when Jesus himself tells you he is not omniscient; he DOES NOT KNOW the day and hour. 

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, NOR the SON, but the FATHER ALONE.
— Matthew 24:36

Religious spirit: honoring your man-made CREEDS and traditions, taking donations to make a profit (income), selling God's word with your own human wisdom...all that goes against Jesus, which is a dishonor to him and the Father.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
— Matthew 7:22-23

Although the day and hour no one knows but the Father...Jesus and the apostles understood that an hour, day and/or year is all the same and to be treated as if the hour is always upon us, because it is. We are headed to the SABBATH DAY REST...hence why Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, only those who enter into his rest will understand that.

"For we who have believed enter that rest."
— Hebrews 4:3

It's all in God's timing...we are to always be prepared as if it's IMMINENT, which they all did then, and as I do now.

For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
— Matthew 24:44

But He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set by His own authority;
— Acts 1:7

For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:2

(“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his garments, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”)
— Revelation 16:15

This started with the birth of Jesus who grew in wisdom, being "born anew" in receiving the Holy Spirit and it remains to this day. It's the thousand-year reign. Lord Jesus being the first with authority given to him by the Father, having the seal of God as King. He is the master of God's house, the first and now the last, with his bride and the body starting at Pentecost. Once one is enlightened (anointed) with Holy Spirit, the Sabbath Day must be kept HOLY; it's one of God's commands. (Hebrews 6:4-8)
  • How does one do that?

The manna...

Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh daythe sabbaththere will be none.”
— Exodus 16:26

Stay awake, asking for Holy Spirit with pure motives and gathering what you can...

And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.
— Matthew 25:10

Highly misunderstood passages, many claiming that Apostle Paul is speaking of himself (Corinthians) and in that in Timothy it's referring to a literal human pregnancy.

I disagree...

I know a man (👉human) in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man (human) was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man (human)—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man (human) is not permitted to speak.
— 2 Corinthians 12:2-4

But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.
— 1 Timothy 2:15

“Before she was in labor pains, she gave birth;
Before her pangs came, she delivered a male child.
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be brought forth through labor pains in one day?
Can a nation be born all at once?
As soon as Zion was in labor pains, she also gave birth to her sons.
— Isaiah 66:7-8

Those part of the first resurrection... 

Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
— Revelation 19:7-8

And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
— Matthew 24:31

Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. For this corruptible must put on the incorruptible, and this mortal must put on immortality.
— 1 Corinthians 15:51-53

And there will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His slaves will serve Him; and they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
— Revelation 22:3-4

Aside from the Father and Jesus Christ, I resonate most with Apostle Paul. Many of those "controversial" verses make perfect sense to me. I have no doubt God used him, as I've been given the ability to understand the symbolism used. The moment I read Acts 9:1-31, I completely understood his connection to Jesus, as I had received the same connection. It's what it means to be caught up..."raptured" as many of you put it. Being aware of his presence, it's what it means to go to the third heaven...yet, while here on earth. (Heaven and Earth, Two Witness)

Be careful to not be so wise in your own understanding that you begin to slander those God has sent. 

Many times, I start to notice some preach a great message but then, there it is, human wisdom above God's wisdom. Revealing how they depend on their own knowledge, not realizing the enemy found a way in. Money is the root of it, no matter how little of it you receive, it will ALWAYS keep you from seeing TRUTH. Aside from money, it's the countless who make it about self, some obvious, being arrogant, others having a humble opinion of themselves, never recognizing how they resist the Holy Spirit.

REMINDER:

Prophecy Understood in Hindsight
After the event, people can recognize the prophecy's fulfillment, even if the details were unclear beforehand

Please stop being false teachers, especially those of you who are using money (Caesar/false god), you use the True God Jehovah and HIS WORD, for a profit (income), seeking followers to your own understanding. Becoming a god unto yourselves.  

Here's another video God put in my path yesterday, God always reveals, he does it through whom he pleases...THE GREAT DECEPTION

I don't follow man, but I found these words to be on point.

Excerpt:

"The great deception will never be a matter of ignorance nor of subterfuge blindsiding you or overcoming you, it will always be a MATTER of YOUR HEART. That's the only way you can be deceived, your deliberate, willful, full knowing choice of your devotion. ... Think of the two witnesses that have to come at the end of the age because there's NOBODY left TELLING the TRUTH."

End excerpt.


For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.
— Mark 4:22

Whenever possible, all that should be done is to simply take care of those in need and keep yourself unstained from the world. One of my closest friends, Nathan, who was like a brother to me, did this to the best of his ability, never seeking anything in return...genuine, rare find.

Nathan was the one who baptized me when those in charge wouldn't. I met him after being silenced by the religious organization we both attended. The very ones who knew how much I loved the Father and Son, but because I would not bow down to them, they would not baptize me. He knew how much I was persecuted; he too had his share of it.

No doubt Nathan was put in my path for a reason. We both knew this. He followed God's word, not man and their words. Words shared by him: "God will always put the right person in your path when needed". So grateful that God had blessed me by putting Nathan in my life. 

He has recently passed away and my heart breaks as there are very few like him. He knew scripture like no one I knew. We could spend hours just sharing God's word. As much as I miss him, I'm happy and grateful he will not be here to suffer, nor have to deal with the end times. 

His rest has come... RIP Nathan❣️ 
12/25/51 - 07/25/25

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, 
and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
— Ecclesiastes 12:7

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself UNSTAINED by the world.

Puzzle Pieces...Love Your Neighbor

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

— 1 Corinthians 13:1-3


First resurrection: The Remnant (elect) of the house of Israel. (Eze 9:4; Rev 7:4; 20:4-5)

And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved;
— Romans 9:27
  • And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. — Hebrews 9:27-28
And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
— Matthew 24:22

And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
— Matthew 24:31

As many as the sand of the sea will see destruction, as shown above, only the remnant will be saved...

For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return;
A destructive end is decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
— Isaiah 10:22

And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
— Revelation 20:7-8

Final resurrection:

And speak to them, ‘Thus says Lord Jehovah, “Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms. They also will no longer defile themselves with their idols or with their detestable things or with any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all their places of habitation in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their God.
— Ezekiel 37:21-23

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sits upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. Then I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
— Revelation 20:11-15

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
— James 1:27

God will give anyone a piece of the puzzle to get his message out. He will use an Atheist, Catholic, Jew, Jehovah's Witness, Muslim, Evangelical, Mormon, and so on. When you close yourself off to what someone has to say, you reveal FEAR and EXALTATION, in turn remaining blind to what GOD wants to share. He has taught me well in so many ways, one of those ways was to listen to what others had to say regardless of who they are, yes, even a satanist wouldn't be turned away, because I FEAR NO ONE. In turn, God has revealed to me many nuggets, taken from so many varying beliefs, religious and not.

  • Why?
Because I wasn't partial, I was always open to new interpretations, new light, always going in the direction that God wanted to direct me. (Proverbs 3:5-6) It's taken time, but slowly God has taught me properly, showing me how to maintain love for all, revealing their sickness, especially in those who persecuted me, some harshly, others not as harsh, but persecution, nonetheless...eventually keeping their distance.

None wanting to hear and take the time to dig into scripture with me. None being open to something new, revealing FEAR, being convinced of their own truth, too PROUD to accept they could be wrong in their belief and being PARTIAL to those who believe like them. Convinced of themselves not God.

But if you show partiality, you are committing sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
— James 2:9

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because FEAR INVOLVES PUNISHMENT, and the one who fears is NOT perfected in love.
— 1 John 4:18

The ONLY WAY to retrieve God's truth is to not be PARTIAL and have GENUINE love of neighbor, regardless of who they are. As long as you remain partial to a religious sect, or take donations to sell God's word, you will NEVER fully get the pieces required. Surface love is not acceptable in God's eyes. 

It's not loving to segregate people by your church creeds and traditions, segregating yourself from others by your belief to then turn around and teach others to do the same. It's not loving to exalt yourself by your belief, to think you are above another BY YOUR BELIEF. It's not loving to use God to make money, then mislead countless to what you believe. It's not loving to make it all about yourself. 

Sadly, most just can't seem to see it in themselves. It's harder to discern among those who portray themselves in a humble manner, but eventually, ever so slightly, their true colors are revealed.

But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern both good and evil.
— Hebrews 5:14
  • Who do you think the priest and Levite represent...religion/religious?
Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And a priest happened to be going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 
— Luke 10:30-32
  • Who does the Samaritan represent...someone considered religiously (biblically) inferior?

But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him, and when he saw him, he felt compassion. And he came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them, and he put him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. —  And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
— Luke 10:33-34, 37

  • What point was Jesus is making here?

Most religious believe they show love to neighbor, but I'll speak for myself when I say...NO, YOU DON'T. You are the priest and the Levite who walks by. Claiming to love but proving otherwise. Interested in giving your time, but only if it's in your own interest. Religions boasting about how they help the needy, neglecting to see how it comes from the money of the needy, worse even, pampering their own lives by taking an income and being treated like royalty.

“Therefore, when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
— Matthew 6:2

My brothers, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in bright clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the bright clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
— James 2:1-4

They take money (bribe/donations) from the poor, call it non-profit, then claim they "give"... only what they give is out of what they received. Is that really giving?! It's shameful. Their love isn't free; it will cost you your life. These who teach, no matter how humble they think they are, will receive a stricter judgement. (James 3:1)

I fast twice a week; 👉 I pay tithes of all that I get.’
— Luke 18:12

Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
— Matthew 15:14

Their "love" comes from requirement, it's limited. For the exception of a handful, I lived a life of being an outcast by most believers in ALL SECTS that I've encountered, showing me surface love, it was never genuine. Keeping me close, ACTING out the role of love, if I'm in agreement, but keeping me at a distance, if I don't. 

That's not love.

  • Who did Jesus hang out with?
Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.
— Matthew 9:10

  • Why?

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.
— Matthew 9:12

His point was to show that all are sinners but that there are those who judge by their religious sects and creeds, revealing self-righteous behavior and thinking their belief and understanding is above another's...revealing their exaltation. Never understanding that they are the blind guiding the blind, blinded as to what scripture reveals. Reading what's on the surface and not seeing the deep layers. These believe they are healthy in their faith and don't see just how sick they are. You are a CULT, falling into Satan's demonic plan.

the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me affliction in my chains.
— Philippians 1:17

True worshippers keep to themselves, helping any they can, go where God sends them, not looking for glory, not needing to belong to any group or sect, not following man. 

One should always assume they can be wrong, you're not God. All are sick (sinners) and need God's help. When asking for the Father's guidance, one should always be open for interpretation, no matter WHO it comes from and how much it differs from what you believe. Searching the scriptures free of pride and self-preservation in one's own faith...something I find to be the biggest problem.

Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
— Acts 17:11

What you say is what you believe, it's from the heart. All stumble at some point because none are perfect. If you say you love your neighbor but then disregard your neighbor for what they believe, controlling what they can share, it reveals your lack of faith in God who can settle any matter, it reveals improper fear, it reveals your HYPOCRISY.

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the entire body as well.
— James 3:2

With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God.
— James 3:9

It doesn't necessarily mean you have to always agree but be open, discuss in detail and meditate on it. Remembering that your MOTIVES, when asking, must be pure and NOT SELFISH. If your heart is not right, God will allow you to remain blind.

You ask and do not receive, because you ask with WRONG MOTIVES, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
— James 4:3

By having an open mind, you may find yourself slowly understanding what God's message is to you. But one must put in time and effort, always knocking and always open to learn something new, especially if it goes against what you believe.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
— Matthew 7:7-8

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you, but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
— Luke 24:45-49

Here's a video that just came across my channel on YouTube. It doesn't matter to me who she is or whether she believes in the trinity, what matters is that God has used her to make excellent points...this going to my point on this article. In the end, most "believers" will claim they are true believers of God.

The REAL Reason Paul Wished He Could Go to Hell for Israel (Rom 9-11)

Excerpt:

God does not give his covenant promises to covenant-breaking people. There's a lot of confusion on that because he's giving his covenant promises and people are receiving it who are unfaithful to him. But the unfaithful are often being indirectly benefited by being among the faithful. So, God's faithfulness is never directed at the unfaithful, as we learn in Galatians 3:22, that God only gives his covenant promises, now that we are in the new covenant, to those who are in Christ.

Again, and again and again in Romans, Paul is making it clear that not all Israel will be saved. But yet, fast forward to Romans 11:26 and we see that all Israel will be saved. In Romans 9:6-8 Paul reveals that just like there are two Jews, there are also two Israel. ... Essentially, what he is saying is that God's word didn't fail because his promises proved true for the Israel that his promises were to. Paul reinforces the idea in verse 27 when he recounts Isaiah's prophecy ... only a remnant will be saved. It is the remnant that is the true Israel.

End excerpt.

Here's an example of one who benefits as mentioned in the bold print above...

And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.” But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and were pleading with Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and was bowing down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” And He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.
— Matthew 15:22-28

As I mentioned, many will believe it's them; but it doesn't mean it will be...

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted. But the one who examines me is the Lord. Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and make manifest the motives of hearts. And then each one’s praise will come to him from God.
— 1 Corinthians 4:4-5

God discerns hearts and God can use anyone he so chooses...

Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from PURE MOTIVES, thinking to cause me affliction in my chains. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that this will turn out for my salvation through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
— Philippians 1:15-20
