— Hebrews 1:1-4

Keep watch of yourself before him and listen to his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him (g2424; Jehovah is salvation.). But if you truly listen to his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.— Exodus 23:20-22
- If Jesus REPRESENTS the Father, having authority to be the Lord (master) of the Father's house, is it really any wonder that Jesus himself is called the first and last... if it's the Father he's representing, being made head messenger sent by God who is First and Last in everything?

Jesus is Last: Holy Spirit with a human... the bride at the feet (think Boaz and Ruth), and the first to see Jesus when he returns. (It's what it means to be anointed. ~ Zechariah 4:14)
Archetypes...
And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed MY FEET with perfume. For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Then He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.” And those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?” And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
— Luke 7:44-50
- Who was the first to see Jesus?
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).

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.

— 2 Corinthians 12:2-4

- How have you treated your neighbor? (Matthew 25:31-46)
- Do you complain about how others treat you but never truly see how you've treated others, especially those you disagree with? (1 Corinthians 3:3)
- Have you come to understand that your belief in scripture is above another's, being exalted in your belief (be honest)? (2 Corinthians 11:20)

It doesn't help for you not to be truthful with yourself...
- Have you ALWAYS treated people with the same respect you wanted, giving them opportunity to express their understanding in detail?
- Do you dismiss people and CONTROL the narrative that doesn't suit you, especially if it doesn't align with your creeds and/or beliefs?
- Doesn't that make you EXALTED, believing your understanding is ABOVE theirs?
- Did you ever stop to think it is you who could be wrong and that God has purposely kept you blind?
- Why?
And for this reason God sends upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.
— 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
— Matthew 22:14
I've been a witness to it and continue to deal with it myself. God reveals people's true intentions, no matter how slight or obscure it may be, God will reveal it and make it known, literally having people expose themselves.
But a natural man does not accept the depths of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually examined.— 1 Corinthians 2:14
It's no wonder why many want nothing to do with God, they see religious (religion) as the "representation" and want to stay far away from it. It's perfectly understandable, as religion is a FALSE representation of God.
The Bible reveals your true hearts...(Hebrews 4:12-13)
This precious value, then, is for you who believe; 👉 but for those who disbelieve,
“The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone,” and,
“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, 👉 and to this stumbling they were also appointed.
— 1 Peter 2:7-8
My prayers go to ALL MANKIND because you have been deceived into following demons. Religion being the stumbling block for the religious and unreligious, following after false spirits (antichrists) who oppose God, then go on to teach it's from God. (Matthew 15:14)
Do not, many of you, become teachers, my brothers, 👉knowing that we will RECEIVE a STRICTER JUDGMENT.
— James 3:1
Now he said to his disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. — Luke 17:1-2
When thinking that, by showing random acts of kindness it makes one a true believer, IT DOESN'T...remember, murderers and rapists can be kind too.
In this way, you also, when you do all the things which are commanded of you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; 👉 we have done only that which we ought to have done.’” — Luke 17:10
- What's the good news?
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the WORLD might be saved through Him.
— John 3:17
And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to SAVE THE WORLD. He who rejects Me and does not receive My words, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him on the last day. For I did not speak from Myself, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. And I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
— John 12:47-50
For our struggle is 👉 not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
— Ephesians 6:12
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of ALL MEN, especially of believers (remnant).

— Mark 2:27

— Romans 9:25-27
- How many are the sons of God?
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,when he DIVIDED MANKIND,he FIXED the BORDERS of the PEOPLE'S👉 ACCORDING to the number of the SONS of GOD.— Deuteronomy 32:8
- Is it as many as the sand of the sea?
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. And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.— Revelation 20:7-10
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
— Hebrews 9:27
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.— Revelation 20:12-13
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.— James 1:27
You have to know who my Father (Jehovah) is, before you can call on his name. Read your Bibles and stop relying on MAN (religion) to find the answers you seek. Without the TRUE FATHER (Proverbs 3:5-6), you can't get to JESUS (John 6:44).
