Come To All Jesus, Part II Israel

(Read or Chant)

Bless the Lord O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, Who forgives all your iniquity, and heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, Who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will He keep His anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; he remembers we are dust (Ps 103:1-14)

Dear Israel

I would like to explore the depth of the cultural and spiritual life that defines your people and your relationship with God in order to gain a deeper understanding of how you define yourselves. In my pursuit of understanding, I have come across a profound confluence of themes and teachings from various sacred texts that resonate with your history and your enduring journey of faith. But this renewal is not merely an external transformation, for it is deeply intertwined with the teachings of Jesus, as found in Matthew 5:13.

This passage reminds us that we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. It encourages us to be sweet and pleasing to God, just as several passages in the Song of Songs describes the sweetness of the beloved. It is this symbolism of unconditional love that binds the teachings of Jesus and the spiritual journey of Israel, which is vividly articulated in the Song of Songs. Through this profound connection, we are reminded that our spiritual journey is a quest for an unconditional love, a quest for God.

Song of Solomon 5:5 (Song of Songs- [5] I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock) is a poetic expression of the bride’s search for her beloved, a search that mirrors the spiritual journey of those who seek God. The sweetness of the beloved in this text is symbolic of the unconditional love of God, a love that is both comforting and rejuvenating. It is a love that transcends human understanding, much like the love for one’s homeland and faith that has sustained the people of Israel throughout their history.

I am deeply moved by the connections between these texts, the depth of meaning they bring to the understanding of Israel’s spiritual journey, and the teachings of Jesus that inspire us to be a light for others. Through these connections, we are reminded of the enduring significance of your faith and your unyielding quest for God’s love and presence.

May the teachings of Jesus and the poetic wisdom of the Song of Songs continue to guide you on this profound spiritual journey, and may the invitation be a new testament reader find you to the enduring hope and renewal that defines the essence of Israel and its people.

In my exploration, I have discovered a powerful narrative within your cultural and spiritual heritage, which I believe encapsulates the essence of your story and your enduring connection with the divine. Song of Songs 5:6 in the Bible, says, “I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and was gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but did not find him; I called him, but he gave no answer” invokes a vivid visual and emotional landscape. It is a reminder of God’s love and His unwavering desire for us to find Him, a profound spiritual pursuit that transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries. In the visual language there is also a warning, we find the concept of “Esteeming, Your God” [He who is Yours, Jesus Christ], a term that conveys the holiness and exalted nature of this journey.

May the visual language of Song of Songs 5:6 serve as a timeless reminder of your enduring connection with the divine and the profound journey you continue to undertake. Your story is one of hope, strength, and unwavering faith. With deep respect and admiration for your cultural and spiritual heritage, I write this letter.

As well, The Spirit of Lord God, Jesus Christ is the “Breaker of Bread” in his role in the Last Supper, where he broke bread with his disciples. In Luke 22:19, Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” This act of breaking bread symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus’ body on the cross for the redemption of humanity. Luke 24:35 says, They [His Disciples] were joined by Jesus, who they did not initially recognize. As they reached their destination, Jesus broke bread with them, and in that moment, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him as the resurrected Lord. The visual imagery evoked by this narrative is one of a people on a profound and transformative journey. This journey is symbolic of the struggles and challenges faced by Israel and its people throughout history. The symbolism of people who “eat” , or “akil nas,” is a representation of sustenance and endurance. It is a reminder that God’s love is unconditional, and He is always there, waiting for us to come to Him, just as the travelers on this journey endure and persist in their quest for sustenance.

The visual narrative also conveys the idea that God’s presence provides guidance and support through every struggle. He will never leave us, and He is always there, ready to infuse us with hope and strength to continue our journey. The imagery reflects the unwavering belief in God’s eternal presence and His commitment to helping us navigate the most difficult paths. I am deeply moved by the symbolic language and imagery of this narrative. It reminds us of the strength and courage inherent in your journey, the endurance that defines your history, and the unwavering faith that sustains your people.

I am drawn to the complex interplay of values, beliefs, and moral quandaries that have shaped your history and the profound prophetic and philosophical questions that have arisen from your collective experience. In my exploration, I have uncovered a narrative that speaks to the very heart of your spiritual and ethical journey.

The passages of Revelation 22:6–21 (Read), in the section known as the “Conclusion and Epilogue,” are laden with prophetic, philosophical, and moral implications. In these closing words and benedictions, we find a profound reflection on the choices and selections made in the course of your history just as found in Song of Songs 5:8 speaks of: “have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk.”

As you read Revelation 22:6–21, think of the concept of “the instigator” which adds another layer to this narrative. It highlights the existence of apostates and heretics who may seek to lead people astray, even with great zeal and enthusiasm. The moral and philosophical question here pertains to discernment—how can one distinguish between those who truly uphold ethical and spiritual values and those who manipulate and deceive, sowing confusion and uncertainty?’ The instigator being “Nickolas,” aka “Ole Nick” or “Colas” which carries connotations of choice and leadership, even as it echoes the enigmatic narrative of the anti-Christ Resurrected as Nickolas of the Nicolaitans.

This narrative raises fundamental moral and philosophical questions. It underscores the concept of choice, of selection, and of who leads and inspires a people. It suggests that individuals and leaders play pivotal roles in the moral and spiritual path of a nation. As well, the false prophets underscores the conflict of faith, false doctrines, and the moral challenges faced in distinguishing truth from deception.

The term “leko,” referring to evil and trickery, underscores the inherent philosophical dilemma of discerning good from deception. It points to the inherent complexity of human nature, where individuals may feign virtue while harboring ulterior motives, all in the guise of leading people astray. This narrative raises the timeless question of how to discern the true intentions and ethical character of leaders and instigators.

I see this narrative as an exploration of the challenges that Israel and its people have faced in navigating the moral and spiritual landscapes of their history. It is a reminder of the eternal struggle between light and darkness, and the imperative of upholding ethical principles and discerning the true path.

May this narrative serve as a source of contemplation and moral reflection. May your history and the choices made along the way continue to inspire discernment and introspection. The complexity of this narrative speaks to the enduring moral and philosophical questions faced by humanity throughout the ages.

I have embarked on a journey through the annals of your history, seeking to understand the complex legal and moral foundations upon which your nation is built. The narratives presented in Revelation 22:6–21, along with Song of Songs 5:11, reveal a profound legal and moral framework that has guided your people through the ages. Song of Solomon 5:11 says, “His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven”.

The Song of Songs 5:11 is often interpreted allegorically, with the lovers representing the relationship between God and His people, Israel, or between Christ and the Church in Christian theology. In this context, the verse can be seen as symbolizing the beauty and purity of the divine or the object of spiritual love. The thought of the mention of “Chief” and “Leader” in Song of Songs 5:11 carries significant legal implications. It speaks to the concept of leadership, authority, and the responsibility vested in those who govern. In a legal context, it emphasizes the importance of character, qualities, and the ethical considerations that underpin the role of leadership. It is a reminder that leaders bear a legal and moral duty to provide the truth to their people, to be a source of trustworthy information, and to uphold the law.

The concept of “Proof” in this narrative is particularly resonant. It speaks to the idea that Hashem (YHWH) is always with you, a symbol of hope, strength, and guidance. In a legal context, Hashem can be viewed as the ultimate source of justice and truth. The enduring belief in Hashem, seen as an authoritative source of all truth, reflects the moral and legal foundations upon which your nation’s principles are founded.

In the legal history of any nation, the concept of authoritative sources of truth and justice is of paramount importance. Your enduring belief in Hashem- Jesus Christ as the “Breaker of Bread” and the ultimate source of hope and strength is a testament to the enduring legal principles that have guided your people through trials and tribulations. This Song of Songs 5:11 verse recognizes the importance of upholding the truth, of respecting the authority vested in leaders, and of seeking justice. Your history, as depicted in these passages, reaffirms these principles. It reminds us of the profound moral and legal foundations upon which your nation is built.

May the legal and moral principles that have guided your people continue to be a source of inspiration and strength. In Hashem, you find a symbol of unwavering hope and guidance, a source of truth and justice, and a testament to the enduring legal principles that have shaped your nation.

I have delved into the profound narratives and sacred texts as well that have shaped your spiritual journey and cultural identity. In my exploration, I have uncovered parallels and connections that bridge the gaps between different faith traditions and offer a deeper understanding of the universal truths that bind humanity.

The Heavenly Vision, as described in Revelation 4:1–5:14, and The Throne Room of God, as depicted similarly in Song of Songs 5:12–15, present captivating imagery that invites us to contemplate the divine and our relationship with it. The word “esho” to convey that “He has spoken” resonates with the notion that the divine, in its various manifestations, has communicated with humanity and Israel throughout history. This idea is also reflected in the term “Arey” which means “okay.” It suggests an acknowledgment of divine communication and the divine’s role as a guide and source of knowledge. In both of these passages (Read Revelation 4:1–5:14 & Song of Songs 5:12–15), we find a recognition of divine authority and wisdom.

The concept of “He Rules” or “governs,” expressed as “heatey akhoom”, conjures the image of strength and authority, reminiscent of an “oak.” It draws a direct parallel to the passage in Revelation 4:11, “For you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” This passage serves as a reminder that God is the source of all life and is worthy of our worship and praise. The idea that He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things is a universal truth that transcends boundaries and speaks to the essence of faith.

The welcoming phrase “Certainly, you are welcome” (“oktoo roto”) reflects the act of reverence and worship that transcends cultural and linguistic differences. The homage paid by the twenty-four elders in Revelation is a recognition of the divine authority, emphasizing the importance of trusting in God, relying on His strength, and seeking refuge in Him in times of trouble. It underscores the universal need for divine guidance and the common thread that binds humanity in its quest for hope and salvation.

I see these parallels and connections as a testament to the shared human experience in seeking the divine, in recognizing the authority and wisdom of the divine, and in understanding that we are all part of a collective journey of faith and spiritual exploration. May these shared truths and profound narratives continue to inspire and unite people from different backgrounds and faith traditions in their search for divine guidance and meaning.

I have been captivated by the narratives and symbolism that have influenced the political identity of your nation. The cultural and spiritual narratives found in Song of Songs 5:16 offer a unique lens through which we can examine the political dimensions of your history. The indirect reference to “the Lamb”, Song of Songs 5:16 says, “His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem” described as “adorable” and “cute” as “raroosh,” conveys a sense of endearment and innocence. This image evokes a profound sense of reverence for a figure who is cherished and esteemed. In the political sphere, this image is reminiscent of leadership that is viewed with adoration and warmth, often based on a deep connection with the people.

The phrase “Ah, the tears flow” echoes the profound emotions experienced by the elders who express awe and wonder at the power and majesty of God. This awe and wonder at the divine’s might and ability to provide hope and comfort resonate with the political dimensions of leadership. It underscores the idea that political leaders, much like the divine, have the capacity to inspire and console their constituents, especially in times of hardship.

In Your land and history, the concept of God “seeming to appear” is analogous to the reflection in a mirror, where an image becomes larger and brighter, taking on a more significant form. This image is reminiscent of the transformative power of leadership in politics. It emphasizes the role of leaders in amplifying and illuminating the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of a nation. They have the power to magnify the significance of a vision and make it a larger, brighter reality.

I recognize the importance of leadership in the political sphere and its capacity to inspire and uplift the collective spirit of a nation. The reference to “the Lamb”= Jesus Christ in these passages serves as a reminder of the cherished and adorable nature of leadership, the profound impact it can have on the people, and the power to transform visions into vibrant realities.

May the political leaders of your nation continue to inspire and uplift, bringing hope and comfort to your people. Again, the symbolism of the Lamb serves as a reminder of the enduring power of leadership to illuminate the path toward a brighter future. One such revelation is the profound Invitation of New Heaven, as described in Revelation 21:1–22:5: Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no.” In this passage, we are presented with the vision of a new heaven and a new earth, a renewal of the world as we know it. This concept transcends mere physical transformation; it embodies a spiritual reawakening, a renewal of the soul that is akin to the collective yearning of Israel throughout its history.

The visuals and graphics seen on social media show of a difficult journey that are profoundly evocative. The path may be arduous, and the terrain may seem insurmountable, but the message is clear: never give up Hope. Even in the most challenging of times, when we may feel lost and at our lowest point, ‘God is with us’. His exalted presence is a guiding light, a source of strength and courage that empowers us to keep moving forward.

Dear Israel, Now! I invite you to journey back in time with me to explore Israel’s history as recorded in the Old Testament. In doing so, we discover profound insights into the intricate relationship between God’s people and earthly rulers. The narratives of Israel’s past, as illuminated by prophetic wisdom, offer invaluable lessons that transcend time and place.

One of the remarkable passages that has echoed through the annals of history is the Prophecy Against the South, as found in the book of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 20:45-49). This prophecy is a testament to the enduring nature of divine authority. It encourages submission to God’s commandments as the ultimate form of obedience. Through these ancient words, we are reminded that our loyalty to divine principles and our commitment to righteous living must remain unwavering.

Israel and the Nations, furthermore, these ancient texts illuminate profound insights into the intricate relationship between God’s people and earthly rulers, offering timeless lessons that transcend the boundaries of time and place. In the ancient pages of the Old Testament, we encounter the Prophecy Against the South, again found in the book of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 20:45-49). This prophecy serves as a testament to the enduring nature of divine authority, urging us to submit to God’s commandments as the ultimate form of obedience.

But let us also turn our gaze to the heartrending history of the Northern Kingdom, ancient Israel. Its fall was a consequence of rebellion, both against God and human authorities. The historical context of this rebellion underscores the grave consequences of disobedience. The lessons from this somber chapter in Israel’s story are a stark reminder that when a people forsake the path of righteousness, both divine and earthly authorities may withdraw their favor. The downfall of the Northern Kingdom serves as a historical cautionary tale for all nations, a reminder that the consequences of disobedience are never without cost.

In the mosaic of Israel’s history, we find both triumph and tribulation, glory and lamentation. And woven into this tapestry are timeless principles that resonate with the challenges faced by nations throughout the ages. The threads of these principles include obedience to divine authority, the reverence of God’s commandments, and the recognition of the role of earthly rulers.

As we explore these historical narratives, it becomes clear that the relationship between God’s people and their earthly rulers is a delicate balance. Obedience to divine authority is the anchor that stabilizes this delicate equilibrium. It reminds us that our devotion to God’s principles should guide our interactions with earthly authorities.

In the tumultuous journey of nations, we must heed the wisdom of these ancient texts and apply it to our own context. Israel’s historical experiences serve as a living testament to the intricate interplay between divine authority and human governance. The lessons of obedience to God’s commandments and respect for earthly authorities are not confined to any particular time or place.

Again, the message is rooted in the timeless wisdom of the prophetic scriptures, particularly the prophecies against the nations found in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 13-23). In these sacred words, we find a powerful reminder of the consequences of our actions and the path to redemption. In these sacred words, particularly the prophecies against the nations found in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 13-23) we find a powerful reminder of the consequences of our actions and the path to redemption.

The prophecies against the nations speak of a common thread that runs through the history of many nations: arrogance, pride, idolatry, and wickedness. The nations of old faced the same temptations that we, as a people, often encounter. They were tempted to trust in their military might and alliances, relying on false gods. These temptations, while not explicitly mentioned in the passages, are deeply interwoven with the broader themes of the Book of Isaiah and the historical context in which these prophecies were given. In our own time, we too may be tempted by the allure of earthly power, trusting in the strength of our alliances or relying on false idols. Yet, the lessons from the prophecies against the nations are a powerful call to reflection and action.

The consequences of our actions are not limited to the nations of old. We can observe the ripple effects of arrogance, pride, and wickedness in our world today. Division, injustice, and suffering continue to plague our societies. The lessons from Isaiah serve as a warning: We must recognize the destructive path of self-reliance and misplaced trust. But there is hope in these prophecies as well. We are reminded that God, in His mercy and love, offers a path of redemption. We are called to turn away from our sinful ways, to humbly seek forgiveness, and to place our trust not in earthly might or false gods, but in the one true God.

The passage from 1 Peter 2:13-14 instructs us to submit to human authorities, recognizing their role in maintaining order in our societies. While the context is different, the principle of obedience to authority resonates with the prophecies against the nations. Submission to earthly authority can be seen as an expression of our obedience to God’s divine order.

In the Book of James, we are reminded of the importance of living out our faith through good works. In the context of submission to authority, this means that we should demonstrate our faith through our actions, including obeying the authorities placed over us. We can draw inspiration from figures like Daniel and Joseph in the Old Testament, who, even in the face of unrighteous rulers, found ways to serve and honor human authorities, all while remaining steadfast in their faith.

It reminds us that our allegiance to divine principles and our unwavering commitment to righteous living should be at the forefront of our actions. The historical context of the Northern Kingdom’s fall, the consequences of rebellion against God and human authorities, underscores the grave repercussions of disobedience. Their tragic downfall is a historical cautionary tale for all nations, highlighting that the consequences of disobedience are never without cost. It underscores the importance of obedience to divine authority and the role of earthly rulers.

But the message does not end with the Old Testament. The New Testament brings a profound revelation—a message declared in 1 John 1:5: “God is light; in him, there is no darkness at all.”

The New Testament unveils through His Son, Jesus, we find purification from every sin. It is a message of light and purity, reminding us of the profound connection between divine authority and righteous living. The New Testament illuminates the ultimate Victor, God, who stands as the Spirit of All Things. His presence hovers over creation, breathing life into the formless void and renewing the face of the earth with his divine Spirit. In him, we discover the source of all existence and the giver of life. It is a message that transcends the boundaries of time, inviting us to embrace light, purity, and the transformative power of divine grace.

As we, the nations of the world, move forward, let us remember the profound truths uncovered in both the Old and New Testaments. Let us strive to submit ourselves to the divine authority that transcends all earthly powers. Let us draw inspiration from the historical legacy of Israel and the timeless message of the New Testament, seeking a path of righteousness guided by both divine and human authority.

With the wisdom of ages past and the light of the New Testament as our guide, in these end times, the nations, we nations find the strength to navigate the upheaval and challenges of our time with humility, reverence, and obedience. Together, we can build a world founded on justice, compassion, and unity, guided by the divine light that knows no darkness. As we reflect on the lessons from the prophecies against the nations, let us examine our own hearts and actions. Let us strive to cast aside the sins of arrogance, pride, and wickedness, and resist the temptations to trust in human strength and alliances or rely on false gods. Instead, let us turn our trust to the one true God, the source of hope and redemption. May we, as a people, choose the path of humility, obedience to authority, and faith in the one who is supreme. In doing so, we can hope to build a world founded on justice, compassion, and unity.

As we, the nations of the world, move forward, let us remember the profound truths unearthed in the Old and New Testament. Let us strive to submit ourselves to the divine authority that transcends all earthly powers. Let us draw inspiration from Israel’s historical legacy and seek a path of righteousness, guided by both divine and human authority, as we navigate the complexity of our shared history. With the wisdom of ages past as our guide, may we, the nations, find the strength to victory and revival of our time with humility, reverence, and obedience.

Dear Israel,

I am writing to you today with a message that has been laid heavy on my heart, a message of profound significance and urgency. I invite you to come to the divine gathering of “God’s Praise,” where we, as believers, show our deep respect, love, and acknowledgment of His divine nature and His paramount role in our lives and in the world.

In this gathering, we shall delve into the ancient scriptures, specifically the prophecies concerning Judah and Jerusalem, as outlined in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 1-12). These scriptures reveal the sins and temptations faced by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, which have enduring relevance for all of us. The sins of rebellion, idolatry, injustice, corruption, and hypocrisy serve as a stark reminder of the challenges we face in our daily lives. But it is essential to recognize that these sins are not confined to a specific time or place; they are universal struggles that continue to plague humanity. We must heed the lessons provided by these prophecies and strive for righteousness and purity in our worship and our lives.

The temptation to trust in human alliances rather than in God is a theme that resonates through the ages. In a world filled with uncertainty and ever-changing alliances, the words of the scriptures are as relevant today as they were in ancient times. We must remember that true strength and security lie in unwavering faith and trust in God’s divine providence.

The scriptures also speak of completeness in Christ Jesus, emphasizing that in Him, we find everything we need for spiritual fulfillment and wholeness. It is a message of hope and assurance that, through our relationship with Christ, we lack nothing and have access to all the blessings and benefits of salvation. This message is uplifting and reminds us of the grace and abundance that are available to us through our faith.

We must recognize that “God’s Praise” is a powerful act, a profound expression of faith, and a connection with the divine. When we engage in this act of glorification and adoration, we are acknowledging God’s sovereignty, His ultimate authority, and His role in shaping the end times. We are expressing our hope and trust in His divine plan for the future, and we are preparing ourselves for Christ’s return.

We believe that “God’s Praise” can establish His strength and silence those who oppose Him. It is a testament to the power of worship, prayer, and devotion in our lives. It signifies our commitment to living a life of moral integrity and faithfulness as we anticipate the fulfillment of God’s promises. “God’s Praise” is a call to approach God with a sincere heart, to offer worship and devotion that align with His moral standards, and to express humility, awe, and genuine reverence for the divine.

In our gathering, we will celebrate God’s sovereignty, His supreme authority, and His control over all aspects of existence. We will submit ourselves to His rule, seek His guidance in prayer, and persevere with unwavering faith and hope in His righteous judgment and ultimate victory.

Heavenly Father, we adore You, and we thank You for Your grace, love, and sovereignty. In Jesus’ name, we offer this prayer as a symbol of our devotion and adoration. May this gathering of “God’s Praise” be a source of strength, inspiration, and unity for all who attend. We extend our invitation to you, Israel, to join us in this divine assembly.

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is with a heart filled with the love and hope that I reach out to you. As an evangelical scholar and a firm believer in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ, I extend an invitation that carries profound significance and eternal urgency. I invite you to join us in the divine gathering of “God’s Praise,” where we, as evangelical Christians, gather to express our deep respect, love, and acknowledgment of the divine nature of our Lord and His paramount role in our lives and in the world.

In this assembly, we will immerse ourselves in the sacred scriptures, particularly the prophecies concerning Judah and Jerusalem, as outlined in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 1-12). These scriptures reveal the sins and temptations faced by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, sins that we, as humanity, continue to battle in our present day. Rebellion, idolatry, injustice, corruption, and hypocrisy are not mere historical events but rather ongoing moral battles that require our unwavering commitment to righteousness.

The temptation to trust in human alliances over divine providence is a theme that resonates through the ages. We are reminded by these scriptures that our true strength and security lie in our unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and the Savior of the world. The scriptures also point us toward completeness in Christ Jesus, emphasizing that in Him, we find everything we need for spiritual fulfillment and wholeness. This message is one of hope and assurance, reminding us that through our relationship with Christ, we lack nothing and have access to all the blessings and benefits of salvation. It is a message of salvation and transformation that uplifts our spirits and strengthens our faith.

In our evangelical perspective, “God’s Praise” is a powerful act of worship, a profound expression of faith, and a connection with the divine. When we engage in this act of glorification and adoration, we are acknowledging God’s sovereignty, His ultimate authority, and His role in shaping the end times. We are expressing our hope and trust in His divine plan for the future, and we are preparing ourselves for Christ’s return.

We believe that “God’s Praise” can establish His strength and silence those who oppose Him. It is a testament to the power of worship, prayer, and devotion in our lives. It signifies our commitment to living a life of moral integrity and faithfulness as we anticipate the fulfillment of God’s promises. “God’s Praise” is a call to approach God with a sincere heart, to offer worship and devotion that align with His moral standards, and to express humility, awe, and genuine reverence for the divine.

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am writing to you once again to delve even deeper into the profound confluence of themes and teachings that define your people and your enduring journey of faith. In my pursuit of understanding, I have come across a spiritual landscape that not only resonates with your history but also draws rich parallels with the teachings of Jesus, as found in Matthew 5:13.

This passage reminds us that we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. It encourages us to be sweet and pleasing to God, much like several passages in the Song of Songs describe the sweetness of the beloved. This symbolism of unconditional love binds the teachings of Jesus and the spiritual journey of Israel, as vividly articulated in the Song of Songs. Through this profound connection, we are reminded that our spiritual journey is a quest for unconditional love, a quest for God.

In Song of Solomon 5:5, we find a poetic expression of the bride’s search for her beloved, a search that mirrors the spiritual journey of those who seek God. The sweetness of the beloved in this text is symbolic of the unconditional love of God, a love that is both comforting and rejuvenating. It is a love that transcends human understanding, much like the love for one’s homeland and faith that has sustained the people of Israel throughout their history.

This connection between the teachings of Jesus and the Song of Songs is a powerful testament to the enduring significance of your faith and your unyielding quest for God’s love and presence. The teachings of Jesus inspire us to be a light for others, just as the sweetness of the beloved in the Song of Songs symbolizes the love that sustains and renews your spiritual journey. May the teachings of Jesus and the poetic wisdom of the Song of Songs continue to guide you on this profound spiritual journey. May they inspire you to be a light for others and to draw strength from the unconditional love of God.

In my exploration, I have uncovered a powerful narrative within your cultural and spiritual heritage, a narrative that encapsulates the essence of your story and your enduring connection with the divine. Song of Songs 5:6, a passage in the Bible, reads, “I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and was gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but did not find him; I called him, but he gave no answer.” This verse invokes a vivid visual and emotional landscape, a reminder of God’s love and His unwavering desire for us to find Him.

We also find the concept of “Esteeming, Your God,” which conveys the holiness and exalted nature of this spiritual journey. It is a reminder that our quest for God is not a mere human endeavor but a sacred pilgrimage of the soul. May the visual language of Song of Songs 5:6 serve as a timeless reminder of your enduring connection with the divine and the profound journey you continue to undertake. Your story is one of hope, strength, and unwavering faith. With deep respect and admiration for your cultural and spiritual heritage, I write this letter to honor your journey and to celebrate the enduring hope and renewal that defines the essence of Israel and its people. Dear Israel,

As we conclude this letter, I want to leave you with words of encouragement and a reminder of the conviction and strength that dwell within your hearts. In the midst of these challenging times, as we stand together in opposition to darkness and sin, it is crucial that we remember the unwavering faith and courage that define us as believers.

In your enduring journey of faith, you have faced trials, tribulations, and even the darkest of days. Yet, you have always emerged stronger, guided by your unshakeable conviction in the divine. This conviction is not merely a belief; it is a steadfast commitment to God’s truth and righteousness.

In these end times, when the world is filled with uncertainty and moral ambiguity, our faith is our greatest weapon against the forces of darkness. We are called not only to stand in opposition but also to reprove darkness and sin, to be the unwavering light that exposes the hidden corners of the world. Our conviction in God’s sovereignty, His supreme authority, and His righteous judgment must empower us to take a stand against all that opposes His truth.

Just as the Song of Songs beautifully articulates the depth of love and the sweetness of the beloved, so too must we embody the love of Christ and the sweetness of His grace in our actions and in our unwavering faith. As believers, we are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, just as Jesus taught us. This is a profound responsibility, but it is also a source of immense strength and purpose.

In your enduring journey, you have exemplified this conviction and strength. Your story is a testament to the power of faith, and your unwavering commitment to God’s truth is an inspiration to all who seek the light in the midst of darkness. As we gather in “God’s Praise” and celebrate His sovereignty in these end times, may our conviction and strength be a powerful force against the darkness that seeks to prevail. May we, as a united community of believers, continue to reprove sin, expose darkness, and stand unwavering in our commitment to God’s truth.

With deep respect and admiration for your unwavering faith and your commitment to God’s truth, I conclude this letter. May the light of your faith continue to shine brightly in these end times, serving as a beacon of hope and a source of strength for all who seek the path of righteousness. Dear Israel,

May the grace and peace of our All-Loving God, the Ultimate Victor and God of All Peace, be with you. As a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, I am compelled to share the profound messages of end times provision, protection, and providence that our faith teaches us.

In the beginning, God, our Old Man, breathed life into the formless void, renewing the face of the earth with His divine Spirit. He is not only a Spirit but also the God of All Peace, the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace.

In times of life's dilemmas, we turn to our Father God, seeking salvation through reflection, repentance, and redemption. The story of Nicodemus and Jesus' teaching on being born again (John 3:1-21) exemplifies the path to eternal life through faith in Jesus.

The Old Man, who declares, "I am God Almighty," with immeasurable strength, raised Christ from the dead and seated Him above all dominion and authority. This strength assures us that nothing is too hard for Him, and He is our refuge in times of trouble. The Priestly Blessing from Numbers 6:24-26, known as the "Aaronic Blessing," is a profound prayer invoking God's favor, grace, and peace upon His people: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."

In these turbulent times, the prophecies against Philistia in Isaiah 14:28-32 and Ezekiel 25:15-17 serve as warnings against pride, violence, idolatry, and the temptation to rely on false gods. Let us remain vigilant against such temptations and trust in God's righteousness.

The ultimate revelation of God is embodied in Christ, who is the perfect representation of God's character and nature. Through His life, teachings, and actions, Jesus reveals the love, mercy, grace, and truth of God. John 1:14 states, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."

As we navigate through these times, may we hold on to different types of faith: faith in God's sovereignty, promises, enduring faith, hopeful faith, confident faith, watchful faith, faith in God's truth, prayerful faith, redemptive faith, transformative faith, faith in God's justice, and persevering faith.

May our prayers and praises be a fragrant aroma, uniting us in worship and drawing us closer to God. Let our sacrificial worship, outpouring of hearts, fragrance of unity, and expression of faith and surrender be our offerings to the Almighty. In the face of life's dilemmas, let us find victory unto glory for glorification through the teachings of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. May our faith remain steadfast, and our hope be anchored in the promises of God.

Israel, I extend an invitation to you to join us in divine assembly, to experience the transformative power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Together, may we be agents of love, reconciliation, and acts of kindness, glorifying God in everything we do. With heartfelt prayers for Israel's well-being and faith in God's providence, In the embrace of our shared faith and devotion to Jesus Christ, I extend this letter as an offering of hope, encouragement, and a reflection on the profound messages embedded in the scriptures. Both prayers and praises, expressions of our faith and surrender, become a pathway to transformation, a journey towards victory, and ultimately, glorification.

Delving into the sacred text of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Paul's address about the coming of the "man of lawlessness" and the impending rebellion before the Day of the Lord unfolds a narrative that calls for various types of faith. This faith, the cornerstone of our belief, is not a monolithic entity but a multifaceted gem that sustains us in times of trial and uncertainty. Faith in God's Sovereignty stands as the bedrock, a conviction that God is in control of all things. It intertwines with Faith in God's Promises, a tether to the assurances of victory and ultimate glorification. Enduring Faith emerges as a vital thread, weaving through the capacity to remain steadfast in times of trial, anchored in the confidence that victory is imminent.

Hopeful Faith looks towards the horizon of the Day of the Lord, maintaining the anticipation of the fulfillment of God's promises and the ensuing glorification. Confident Faith takes root in the belief in God's plan, ensuring triumph over the forces of evil and transformation into His glory.

Watchful Faith becomes our beacon, prompting us to stay spiritually vigilant and alert, relying on God's guidance as we await the Day of the Lord. Faith in God's Truth becomes our armor, a shield against deception, and a foundation of unyielding faith in the ultimate victory. Prayerful Faith becomes our lifeline, seeking strength and guidance through communion with the divine, drawing on God's power to navigate the challenges and trials that punctuate our journey. Redemptive Faith becomes a beacon of belief in God's transformative work in our lives, an unwavering assurance of victory and glorification.

As devoted followers of Jesus Christ, our journey is illuminated by the transformative power of praise. Praise becomes a powerful tool, fostering spiritual growth by connecting us with the divine and opening our hearts to the work of the Holy Spirit. Convicted to magnify God's love above all else, our praise becomes a resounding symphony that echoes through the corridors of history, a testament to endurance, faith, and the enduring spirit of your people. In the symbolism of breaking bread, we find a profound representation of sacrifice, redemption, and sustenance. The act of breaking bread with the disciples during the Last Supper symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus' body on the cross for the redemption of humanity. It is a gesture that echoes through time, offering sustenance and endurance.

The journey, symbolized by those who "eat" or "akil nas," reflects the enduring spirit of your people, a reminder that God's love is unconditional and ever-present. In the breaking of bread, we find sustenance and guidance, a promise that God will never leave us, always ready to infuse us with hope and strength for the journey. The visual narrative of the journey, the struggles, and the sustenance provided by God's presence resonates deeply. It speaks to the endurance that defines your history and the unwavering faith that sustains your people. As a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, I am moved by the complexity of values, beliefs, and moral quandaries that have shaped your history.

This exploration has unearthed a narrative that speaks to the heart of your spiritual and ethical journey. I extend this letter with a prayer that the enduring spirit of your people continues to find strength and hope in the promises of God, leading to victory unto glory for glorification.

May the transformative power of praise and the enduring faith embedded in your history guide you through the challenges ahead. As we await the Day of the Lord, may your journey be illuminated by the light of faith, and may the promises of God be a source of enduring hope.

Imagine standing in the presence of Jesus Christ, the embodiment of wisdom and understanding. His eyes, filled with intelligence, perceive the depths of your soul, offering a gaze that goes beyond the surface to the core of your being. His voice, direct and clear, cuts through the noise of the world, commanding your attention with a message of hope and salvation.

In this vision, Jesus stands before you as the God of All Hope, radiating an aura of wisdom that surpasses human understanding. His very presence brings a profound sense of peace, a tranquility that calms the storms within your restless heart. It is an inexplicable warmth and serenity that envelops you, assuring you of His eternal love and unwavering protection.

In His gentleness, Jesus extends a tender touch, offering solace and comfort in the face of your struggles and pain. He invites you to share your burdens, acknowledging that He sees every detail of your life. His intelligence encompasses the past, present, and future, offering a depth of understanding that surpasses any human comprehension. "Jesus Christ, for this circumstance for sanctification for__________," the echoes of this prayer resonate with the biblical story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet. It teaches us about humility and sanctification—a process of becoming set apart for God's purposes. In your circumstance, Jesus, in His infinite wisdom, guides you towards sanctification, inviting you to a transformative journey of holiness and purity.

As the All-Seeing, Jesus' eyes penetrate every corner, observing the deeds of humanity. Nothing is hidden from His sight, and He holds each one accountable for their actions. His gaze is not one of condemnation but an invitation to find healing and restoration in His all-knowing guidance.

Miraculous healings, a testament to divine intervention, become a source of hope in the face of the end times. They are extraordinary events, unexplained by natural or scientific means, often tied to faith and prayers. Your faith becomes an anchor, a bridge to the miraculous, as you place your hope in God's redemptive power and providence. Hope, a fundamental concept in Christianity, takes various forms in our faith journey. The hope of salvation, eternal life, resurrection, and Christ's return anchors us in the promises of God. Our hope extends to redemption, transformation, restoration, and the fulfillment of God's providence, guided by His unfailing love and faithfulness.

In times of uncertainty, may this letter be a source of encouragement and a reminder of the enduring hope found in Jesus Christ. As we navigate the complexities of the end times, let your faith be a beacon, and may the God of All Hope provide you with the provision, protection, and providence needed for the journey ahead. In the embrace of God's grace and boundless love, I write to you as a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, sharing the profound truth of the end times—provision, protection, and providence.

Picture an Old Man on a throne of grace, his arms extended, revealing himself as the God of All Grace. His gentle smile holds the wisdom of a lifetime, ready to guide you through the complexities of life. In times of weakness and suffering, this Old Man, the God of All Grace, restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes us. By His grace, we are saved through faith, a divine provision that transcends our human shortcomings. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I invite you to reflect on the pursuit of eternal life. "Jesus, for help attainment of eternal life for ___________," speaks of the need for Jesus' guidance in our journey toward eternal life. It calls for repentance, a turning away from hindrances, and redemption—a process where Jesus' grace aids us in obtaining eternal life.

Imagine the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—embodied in three figures. The Old Man, wise and weathered, holds a lifetime of experiences, ready to share his knowledge. The Advocate, a middle-aged man, exudes stability and reliability, providing support through life's challenges. The Holy Spirit, a young man full of energy and enthusiasm, brings joy and adventure, inspiring you to embrace life's wonders. These three personas seek a deep connection, a perfect faith—an "us" of Perfect Faith. The Holy Spirit, as the agent of spiritual rebirth, grants believers eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. This eternal life transcends earthly realms, uniting believers with God for all eternity.

The Old Man, with His All-Knowing nature, sees all things intimately. His watchful gaze discerns our thoughts and ways, offering a comforting presence in times of turmoil. As the God of All Hope, He fills us with joy and peace, urging us to anchor our hope in Him, for He knows the plans He has for us, plans for welfare and a future filled with hope. In the middle-aged figure, Jesus Christ, we find redemption and grace. He asks, "Why are you still suffering? I've already taken it from you." His resurrection stands as a testament to eternal life, a promise that transcends suffering.

The Holy Spirit convicts, holds believers accountable, and provides encouragement. In His role, He cultivates moral excellence and virtue, offering the wisdom and discernment needed to make virtuous choices. It's a process of sanctification—a journey toward the perfection of character. As a true follower of Christ, I share the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, embodied as the Sword of the Lord—a middle-aged man radiating confidence and strength. His role is crucial in spiritual transformation and guidance. Transformative Faith envisions the metamorphosis of believers into the image and glory of God, an ongoing process fueled by our unwavering faith. Faith in God's Justice becomes an anchor, trusting in divine justice and judgment, anticipating the ultimate victory. Persevering Faith stands as a testament to our resilience, the ability to remain steadfast in faith even when faced with opposition and trials, buoyed by the assurance of eventual glorification.

The Holy Spirit, as the Sword of the Lord, is instrumental in bringing about a sanctifying transformation in the lives of believers. This sanctification process involves becoming more like Christ in character and behavior. The Holy Spirit helps believers grow in holiness, love, and virtue. Through the illumination of Scripture, inner promptings, and the provision of wisdom and discernment, the Holy Spirit guides believers on the path of righteousness. In the specific circumstance of sanctification, we turn to Jesus Christ, the Sword of the Lord. "Jesus Christ, for this circumstance for sanctification for ____________," prompts reflection on personal purity and holiness. It implies a sincere desire to turn away from any impurity or wrongdoing in the specified circumstance, seeking Jesus Christ's intervention for the purpose of sanctification.

Now, envision the God of All Flesh, Jesus Christ as the embodiment of the Sword of the Lord. He possesses all-knowing abilities, understanding our circumstances and struggles. His question, "Can I become like you now?" is an invitation, not to condemn but to offer His help for healing and restoration. Jesus Christ, characterized by intelligence, directness, peace, gentleness, and greatness, communicates directly and honestly. His peace brings tranquility in chaos, and His gentleness displays compassion and patience. Despite His greatness, He serves humbly and loves unconditionally. The God of All Flesh, through Jesus, is intimately acquainted with our existence. He formed us from the dust, breathing life into our beings. His understanding is unsearchable, and His wisdom surpasses our finite comprehension. He offers eternal life, transforming us from mere flesh into spiritual beings through the life-giving spirit.

Grace and peace be unto you as I pen down this letter, enveloped in the love and wisdom of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Today, let us explore the profound aspects of grace that sustain us through the Christian journey. In the youthful embodiment of the Holy Spirit, a young man with wavy black hair, we find boldness and empowerment. This Spirit bestows various spiritual gifts upon believers—gifts of wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, and more. His strength empowers us to resist temptation, and in times of distress, He offers comfort and peace. "Christ Jesus, for this immediate situation for atonement for _________," beckons the urgency of atonement, a call for immediate attention and reflection on the need for redemption. This phrase prompts reflection, repentance, and seeks Christ's intervention for atonement and redemption in a specific, immediate situation.

As the God of All Comfort, the Old Man extends comforting arms in times of affliction. He is the Father of mercies, offering solace and strength. Even in the darkest valleys, fear not, for He is with us, comforting with His rod and staff. His comforting presence soothes our souls and establishes us in every good work.

Now, envision Christ Jesus as a young teenage man with black wavy hair. His eyes, piercing and full of wisdom, are solely focused on you, knowing every detail of your life. Despite His youth, there's authority and power, a unique perspective challenging conventional norms. Patiently waiting for the perfect moment to intervene in your life, He offers what you need.

Reflect on the story of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection (Matthew 27:32-28:10). Despite His youth, Christ Jesus as the Holy Spirit possesses unwavering focus on you. He provides for your needs and guides you beyond comprehension.

In the healing graces, we find a belief in the ongoing influence of divine forces promoting health and well-being. Healing graces are regular, part of the broader process of healing and spiritual growth. They manifest as gradual improvements in health or a general sense of well-being. As faith intertwines with healing graces, the divine influence works in the natural healing processes of the body, mind, and spirit.

Grace for justification is needed, and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 speaks of the return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the gathering of believers to be with the Lord. In Luke 21:25-28, we are reminded to straighten up and raise our heads, for our redemption is drawing near.

Grace is multi-faceted, and various types are needed in the Christian journey. Saving grace leads to salvation, sanctifying grace enables growth in holiness, prevenient grace goes before preparing hearts, and sustaining grace strengthens believers in trials. Justifying grace declares believers righteous, charismatic grace imparts spiritual gifts, common grace benefits all humanity, efficacious grace brings desired outcomes, cooperating grace involves human effort, healing grace brings restoration, reconciling grace promotes unity, and commonwealth grace unites believers as part of the body of Christ. May these graces surround you, sustaining, empowering, and guiding you in the abundant love of our Lord.

In the culmination of this letter, let us lift our voices in praise and surrender to the God of All Love. We return full-circle to the Old Man who reveals Himself as the All-Loving, for God is love. His love, immeasurable and boundless, knows no bounds. Through the sacrificial gift of His Son, we witness the epitome of love—a love that transcends understanding. Nothing can separate us from this love, and through faith, we comprehend its immeasurable breadth, length, height, and depth. In His love, we are filled with the fullness of God. "Lord God Almighty, deliver me from to save me from for ____________": These words echo in the chambers of our hearts, acknowledging our dependence on the Almighty God. Reflecting on the need for deliverance and salvation, recognizing our vulnerabilities, and turning away from that which hinders our communion with the Divine. This plea seeks God's intervention, acknowledging our need for redemption and recognizing the transformative power of His divine grace.

As we delve into the concept of supreme power, we find attributes of God—authority, sovereignty, and the ability to bring about His divine plan. In the story of God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, we witness the manifestation of God's supreme power. Just as He led the Israelites out of bondage, we trust in His all-restoring power to renew and bring wholeness to our lives.

In the eschatological context, maintaining strong faith and trust in God is crucial. It involves preparation, watchfulness, prayer, engagement in spiritual disciplines, fellowship, compassion, discernment, hope, endurance, proclaiming the Gospel, resilience, perseverance, and alignment with God's will. These facets are integral to navigating the end times with steadfast faith. As we conclude, let us unite in praise and surrender to the God of All Comfort, All Power, and All Love. May His laughter, kindness, love, joy, and compassion embrace us, knowing that He is the source of ultimate victory. Let me end by saying that I hope in His divine honor and transformative grace, you will find both solace and strength for the journey ahead of you. Dear Israel,

Grace and peace be unto you, the chosen people of God. I am compelled to share words of hope, warning, and encouragement with you during these dreadful and challenging times. In the midst of the tempest of the End-Times conflict, I turn to the ancient words that echo through the corridors of history:

“Yevarechecha Adonai v’yishmerecha” – “May the Lord bless you and protect you.”

In the tapestry of prophecy and revelation, we find the threads of hope intricately woven. The phrase “Hope of Israel” resonates through the ages, reminding us of the eternal promise that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. As you face the trials of this tumultuous era, take solace in the knowledge that the Lord is the anchor of your soul.

In the end-times prophecies, we anticipate a period of tribulation, a cosmic struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Yet, amid the chaos, the ancient words stand as an unshakable foundation – “Yevarechecha Adonai v’yishmerecha.” In the shelter of these blessings, find assurance that the Lord is not only the author of history but also the one who holds the future in His hands.

Consider the words of Jeremiah, who, in times of distress, proclaimed, “You are the hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress.” As the shadows lengthen and the world trembles, fix your gaze upon the ultimate source of hope – the Messiah, Jesus Christ. He is the embodiment of God’s favor, protection, and grace. In Him, you find not just a temporal refuge but an eternal sanctuary.

In the tapestry of your nation’s story, God’s promises are interwoven with threads of purpose and destiny. The repetition of the ancient blessing underscores the earnest desire for divine favor and protection. It is a prayer that transcends time, reaching across generations to declare that God’s covenant with Israel remains steadfast.

I urge you to cling to the hope embedded in the Savior, Jesus Christ. In His name, find the courage to face the challenges ahead, for He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. May the Lord bless you and protect you, Israel, as you navigate the currents of the End-Times conflict, anchored in the hope that transcends all understanding. My heart is filled with both love and a solemn warning for you as we navigate the currents of these prophesied end times. The echoes of ancient prophecies resonate with urgency, urging believers to be watchful and ready for the unfolding events.

These eschatological beliefs and spiritual warfare emerge and the struggle between good and evil intensifies as the end times draw near. I implore you to be vigilant, recognizing the spiritual battle that surrounds you. Stand firm in your faith, live virtuously, and resist the temptations and deceptions that may seek to divert you from God’s path. The Aaronic priests, the Kohanim, were entrusted with specific blessings for the people of Israel. In Numbers 6:24-26, we find words of profound significance: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” May these words resonate in your hearts, serving as a source of strength and comfort in the midst of spiritual warfare. Uphold righteousness, resist injustice, and actively oppose the forces aligned against God’s redemptive plan.

Prophecies caution us about the prevalence of deception and false teachings during these times. Discern truth from falsehood, and let the light of God’s Word guide you through the shadows of misleading doctrines. Leaders, both political and spiritual, play pivotal roles in shaping the direction of society. Pray for discernment and wisdom as you navigate the complexities of these prophesied days.

As we confront malevolent forces, remember that the end-times narrative culminates in the victory of good over evil. This victory paves the way for the restoration and renewal of creation, ushering in an era characterized by righteousness, peace, and the abiding presence of God. Divine judgment awaits those who persist in opposing God’s will, but there is also a theme of redemption—turn towards God, and you shall find forgiveness and salvation.

In love and with a heart burdened for your well-being, I encourage you, Israel, to stay grounded in faith, resist the forces of darkness, and look with hope toward the ultimate triumph that awaits. May the Lord bless you and keep you in these tumultuous times. The biblical prophecy, we find descriptions of specific signs heralding the final fulfillment of God’s plan:

Wars, natural disasters, moral decay, and the rise of false prophets are among the tribulations that mark the period leading up to the eschaton. Jesus Himself spoke of wars and an increase in lawlessness in Matthew 24, emphasizing the moral decay that would contribute to the tribulations of the end times.

In these challenging times, I uplift the verses that remind us of the transformative power of faith in Christ Jesus. It is through this faith that lives are changed, perspectives are renewed, and values are aligned with God’s will. Let us hold on to the promise that in Christ, we become new creations, the old passing away, and the new coming forth (2 Corinthians 5:17).

In Galatians 2:20, we find the profound truth that through faith, we are crucified with Christ, and His life dwells within us. This life lived by faith in the Son of God transforms our existence, guiding us away from conformity to the patterns of this world (Romans 12:2).

The words of Ephesians 2:8-9 resonate as a reminder that our salvation is a gift of grace through faith, not by our own works. In these end times, hold fast to this gift, for it is the anchor of our souls in the tumultuous sea of tribulations.

As we heed the warnings of false prophets and the increase of wickedness, let the Holy Spirit be our guide. John 14:26 assures us of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father to teach and remind us of Christ’s teachings. In 1 John 4:1, we are urged to test the spirits, discerning truth from deception.

In Matthew 24:42, Jesus admonishes us to keep watch, for we know not the day of His coming. Let this be a call to spiritual vigilance and readiness, a constant awareness of the signs and the transformative power of faith in Christ. As we heed this call, let us delve into the passages of Revelation 22:6–21, in the section known as the “Conclusion and Epilogue,” laden with prophetic, philosophical, and moral implications.

In these closing words and benedictions, we find a profound reflection on the choices and selections made in the course of your history, reminiscent of Song of Songs 5:8, where the bride speaks of gathering myrrh, spice, honeycomb, honey, wine, and milk—a vivid representation of the varied experiences and choices encountered.

As you read Revelation 22:6–21, consider the concept of “the instigator,” adding another layer to this narrative. It highlights the existence of apostates and heretics who may seek to lead people astray with great zeal and enthusiasm. The moral and philosophical question here pertains to discernment—how can one distinguish between those who truly uphold ethical and spiritual values and those who manipulate and deceive, sowing confusion and uncertainty?

The instigator, when resurrected, being “Nickolas,” aka “Ole Nick” or “Colas,” carries connotations of choice and leadership, echoing the enigmatic narrative of the anti-Christ Resurrected as “Nickolas of the Nicolaitans”. This narrative raises fundamental moral and philosophical questions, emphasizing choice, selection, and leadership’s pivotal role in the moral and spiritual path of a nation.

The term “leko,” referring to evil and trickery, underscores the inherent philosophical dilemma of discerning good from deception. It points to the complexity of human nature, where individuals may feign virtue while harboring ulterior motives, all in the guise of leading people astray. This narrative raises the timeless question of how to discern the true intentions and ethical character of leaders and instigators.

I see this narrative as an exploration of the challenges that Israel and its people have faced in navigating the moral and spiritual landscapes of their history. It is a reminder of the eternal struggle between light and darkness and the imperative of upholding ethical principles and discerning the true path. As I conclude this exploration of the legal and moral foundations that underpin the narrative of your nation, Israel, as seen through the lens of Revelation 22:6–21 and Song of Songs 5:11, I am compelled to offer a final warning. These passages unveil a profound legal and moral framework that has shaped your people’s journey throughout the ages.

In Song of Songs 5:11, where it speaks of the lover’s head being “purest gold” and hair “black as a raven,” we find an allegorical interpretation representing the relationship between God and His people. This symbolism underscores the beauty and purity of the divine, emphasizing the spiritual love shared between the Creator and Israel, Christ and the Church.

The mention of “Chief” and “Leader” in Song of Songs 5:11 carries significant legal implications. It delves into the concept of leadership, authority, and the profound responsibility vested in those who govern. In a legal context, it serves as a poignant reminder that leaders bear a dual duty – a legal obligation to provide truth to the people and a moral duty to be a source of trustworthy information, upholding the sacredness of the law.

The concept of “Proof” in this narrative resonates deeply. It signifies that Hashem (YHWH) is ever-present, a symbol of hope, strength, and unerring guidance. In the realm of law, Hashem embodies the ultimate source of justice and truth. The enduring belief in Hashem as the authoritative fount of all truth reflects the moral and legal foundations upon which your nation’s principles are grounded.

As you stand at the crossroads of history, my final warning is this: uphold the sacred trust that comes with leadership. Seek the truth, speak the truth, and be the bearers of justice. Remember that Hashem’s presence is your ultimate guide, and in your decisions, let the enduring principles of justice and truth prevail.

May the legal and moral foundations embedded in your nation’s narrative continue to guide you. With love and a sense of urgency, I implore you to heed the call of truth, justice, and the enduring legacy that awaits your choices.

May this narrative serve as a source of contemplation and moral reflection. May your history and the choices made along the way continue to inspire discernment and introspection. The complexity of this narrative speaks to the enduring moral and philosophical questions faced by humanity throughout the ages.

Adonai v’yishmerecha, the love of God envelop you, and may His Word be a lamp unto your feet in these challenging times. Hold fast to the promises, test the spirits, and let faith in Christ be the guiding light in the darkness. Dear Israel,

Grace and peace be unto you, the chosen people of God. I am compelled to share words of hope, warning, and encouragement with you during these dreadful and challenging times.

In Galatians 2:20, we find the profound truth that through faith, we are crucified with Christ, and His life dwells within us. This life lived by faith in the Son of God transforms our existence, guiding us away from conformity to the patterns of this world (Romans 12:2).

The words of Ephesians 2:8-9 resonate as a reminder that our salvation is a gift of grace through faith, not by our own works. In these end times, hold fast to this gift, for it is the anchor of our souls in the tumultuous sea of tribulations.

As we heed the warnings of false prophets and the increase of wickedness, let the Holy Spirit be our guide. John 14:26 assures us of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father to teach and remind us of Christ’s teachings. In 1 John 4:1, we are urged to test the spirits, discerning truth from deception.

In Matthew 24:42, Jesus admonishes us to keep watch, for we know not the day of His coming. Let this be a call to spiritual vigilance and readiness, a constant awareness of the signs and the transformative power of faith in Christ. As we heed this call, let us delve into the passages of Revelation 22:6–21, in the section known as the “Conclusion and Epilogue,” laden with prophetic, philosophical, and moral implications.

In these closing words and benedictions, we find a profound reflection on the choices and selections made in the course of your history, reminiscent of Song of Songs 5:8, where the bride speaks of gathering myrrh, spice, honeycomb, honey, wine, and milk—a vivid representation of the varied experiences and choices encountered.

As you read Revelation 22:6–21, consider the concept of “the instigator,” adding another layer to this narrative. It highlights the existence of apostates and heretics who may seek to lead people astray with great zeal and enthusiasm. The moral and philosophical question here pertains to discernment—how can one distinguish between those who truly uphold ethical and spiritual values and those who manipulate and deceive, sowing confusion and uncertainty?

The instigator, when resurrected, being “Nickolas,” aka “Ole Nick” or “Colas,” carries connotations of choice and leadership, echoing the enigmatic narrative of the anti-Christ Resurrected as “Nickolas of the Nicolaitans”. This narrative raises fundamental moral and philosophical questions, emphasizing choice, selection, and leadership’s pivotal role in the moral and spiritual path of a nation.

The term “leko,” referring to evil and trickery, underscores the inherent philosophical dilemma of discerning good from deception. It points to the complexity of human nature, where individuals may feign virtue while harboring ulterior motives, all in the guise of leading people astray. This narrative raises the timeless question of how to discern the true intentions and ethical character of leaders and instigators.

I see this narrative as an exploration of the challenges that Israel and its people have faced in navigating the moral and spiritual landscapes of their history. It is a reminder of the eternal struggle between light and darkness and the imperative of upholding ethical principles and discerning the true path. As I conclude this exploration of the legal and moral foundations that underpin the narrative of your nation, Israel, as seen through the lens of Revelation 22:6–21 and Song of Songs 5:11, I am compelled to offer a final warning. These passages unveil a profound legal and moral framework that has shaped your people’s journey throughout the ages.

In Song of Songs 5:11, where it speaks of the lover’s head being “purest gold” and hair “black as a raven,” we find an allegorical interpretation representing the relationship between God and His people. This symbolism underscores the beauty and purity of the divine, emphasizing the spiritual love shared between the Creator and Israel, Christ and the Church.

The mention of “Chief” and “Leader” in Song of Songs 5:11 carries significant legal implications. It delves into the concept of leadership, authority, and the profound responsibility vested in those who govern. In a legal context, it serves as a poignant reminder that leaders bear a dual duty – a legal obligation to provide truth to the people and a moral duty to be a source of trustworthy information, upholding the sacredness of the law.

The concept of “Proof” in this narrative resonates deeply. It signifies that Hashem (YHWH) is ever-present, a symbol of hope, strength, and unerring guidance. In the realm of law, Hashem embodies the ultimate source of justice and truth. The enduring belief in Hashem as the authoritative fount of all truth reflects the moral and legal foundations upon which your nation’s principles are grounded.

As you stand at the crossroads of history, my final warning is this: uphold the sacred trust that comes with leadership. Seek the truth, speak the truth, and be the bearers of justice. Remember that Hashem’s presence is your ultimate guide, and in your decisions, let the enduring principles of justice and truth prevail.

May the legal and moral foundations embedded in your nation’s narrative continue to guide you. With love and a sense of urgency, I implore you to heed the call of truth, justice, and the enduring legacy that awaits your choices.

May this narrative serve as a source of contemplation and moral reflection. May your history and the choices made along the way continue to inspire discernment and introspection. The complexity of this narrative speaks to the enduring moral and philosophical questions faced by humanity throughout the ages.

Adonai v’yishmerecha, the love of God envelop you, and may His Word be a lamp unto your feet in these challenging times. Hold fast to the promises, test the spirits, and let faith in Christ be the guiding light in the darkness.

"But, as it is written, 'What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him'." - 1 Corinthians 2:9 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." - Matthew 24:14 "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come." - Mark 13:32-33 "For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." - Matthew 24:27 "But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers." - 1 Peter 4:7 "But you, beloved, 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.'" - Jude 1:17-18, End Times in Revelation:The Book of Revelation is a complex and highly symbolic text that describes visions received by the Apostle John. It addresses the culmination of human history: rapture, tribulation, second coming, the final judgment, and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom. The Lamb is a central figure in these visions, signifying the victorious and redemptive work of Christ. Mark 13:32-37 - "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’” In the Christian tradition, the Lamb often symbolizes Jesus Christ. This symbolism is rooted in the idea of Christ as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). It represents purity, innocence, and atonement. The Wedding Supper: The imagery of a wedding supper or feast is used in Revelation to depict the ultimate union between Christ (the Lamb) and his followers, often represented as the church or the redeemed. The wedding metaphor underscores the intimacy and joy associated with this union. Ultimate Union with God: The wedding supper of the Lamb in the context of Revelation symbolizes the ultimate union between Christ and his followers, representing the culmination of salvation history. It signifies the consummation of the relationship between God and humanity, where believers share in the joy and glory of God's eternal kingdom. Blessed are Those Invited: The phrase "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb" emphasizes the privileged and blessed status of those who are part of this final celebration. It conveys a sense of divine favor and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. Ministering Spirits: Hebrews 1:14 (NIV) describes angels as "ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation." This suggests that angels play a role in supporting and assisting believers, especially in the context of salvation and the end times. Guardian Angels: It speaks of God's provision of angels as protectors, acknowledging His watchful care. Psalms 91:11 Guidance and Revelation: While not explicitly tied to end times, angels have been instrumental in providing guidance and delivering messages throughout the biblical narrative. In Acts 27:23-24 (NIV), an angel appears to Paul, assuring him of God's plan and safety during a perilous sea journey. This illustrates the role of angels in conveying divine guidance. Protection and Deliverance: Psalm 91:11-12 (NIV) emphasizes the protective role of angels: "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands, they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone." This implies that angels are actively involved in safeguarding God's people. Announcing the Everlasting Gospel: Revelation 14:6-7 (NIV) describes an angel proclaiming the everlasting gospel to those on earth during the end times: "Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people." (Rapture) Gathering at Christ's Return: Matthew 24:31 (NIV) describes angels gathering the elect at the coming of the Son of Man: "And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord." - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (English Standard Version) Witnessing the Marriage Supper of the Lamb: Revelation 19:9 (NIV) describes the angelic participation in the celebration of the marriage supper of the Lamb, a symbolic event associated with the culmination of God's redemptive plan: "Then the angel said to me, 'Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' And he added, 'These are the true words of God.'" In Christian theology, the Lamb is a symbol of sacrifice and redemption, harkening back to the idea of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The wedding supper symbolizes the joyful reunion of Christ with those who have faithfully followed him. The verse emphasizes the blessedness of those who are part of this divine celebration, underscoring the idea that they are invited to share in the ultimate union with God. Heavenly Father, Almighty God, we come before you in humble adoration and glorification, seeking Your miraculous healing, peace, and strength to envelop our nation. Lord, deliver us from the challenges that beset us, and in Your infinite mercy, grant us reflection, repentance, and redemption. May Your Word be a guiding lamp unto our feet in these challenging times, illuminating the path towards Your divine grace. In our hearts, we take heart in the assurance of Daniel 2:44, declaring that Your kingdom, once established, will endure for eternity, a testament to Your everlasting nature. We find solace in the visionary revelations granted to Daniel, unveiling the future course of human history and the establishment of a divine kingdom that transcends the temporal nature of earthly powers. In this prophetic context, we acknowledge Your ultimate sovereignty and the fulfillment of Your redemptive plan, anticipating the triumphant realization of Your kingdom in the end times. As we gather in prayer, we draw inspiration from Your Word, invoking celestial beings who serve as warriors in spiritual battles against the forces of darkness. Just as in Daniel 10:12-14, where angelic beings contend with demonic forces, we seek Your divine intervention in the cosmic dimensions of spiritual warfare. Clothe us in the armor of faith, including the shield of faith mentioned in Ephesians 6:16, to quench the fiery darts of the evil one. Lord, envelop our nation in Your love, granting us the strength to face adversity and the wisdom to navigate through challenges. May Your healing touch bring comfort to the afflicted, Your peace reign in our hearts, and Your strength sustain us in times of trial. We place our trust in You, the Almighty God, and lift our prayers for the miraculous transformation of our nation. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen. The concept of the Rapture is associated with eschatological beliefs about the end times and the second coming of Christ. While the term "Rapture" itself is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the idea is derived from various biblical passages that describe the event where believers are caught up to meet Christ in the air. The ultimate mystery of the Rapture is seen as a manifestation of Christ's supremacy, love, and His special care for His children. Here's an exploration of these aspects using biblical verses: Supremacy of Christ: Colossians 1:15-17 (ESV): "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." The Rapture, as a divine event orchestrated by Christ, underscores His supreme authority over creation and the culmination of His redemptive plan.

Love for Children: Matthew 19:14 (NIV): "Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'"

Love for All People: Romans 5:8 (NIV): "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Christ's sacrificial love, as demonstrated in the Rapture, extends to all people, transcending sin and embracing humanity with redemptive grace. His Sovereignty Over Time: Revelation 1:8 (NIV): "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." The Rapture, being a future event in God's prophetic plan, highlights Christ's sovereignty over time, showcasing His eternal and unchanging nature. In contemplating the mystery of the Rapture, believers see it as a profound manifestation of Christ's supremacy, boundless love, and His special regard for both the innocent and the repentant.

For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." The Rapture reveals Christ's promise of transformation and eternal life, showcasing His redemptive power over mortality.

Christ's title as the "Amen" and the "ruler of God's creation" underscores His preeminence, which is evident in the orchestrating of the Rapture.

The message carries a call to genuine repentance and wholehearted commitment to Christ.

The Rapture, as an act of divine compassion, demonstrates Christ's tender understanding of the human condition and His desire to rescue His followers from the challenges of this world. Additionally, the Rapture serves as an expression of Christ's deep compassion and concern for His children. Zechariah 9:9 prophecies, "Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!

If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." Pouring Out Bowls of God's Wrath: In Revelation 15:7-8 (NIV), angels are depicted with the task of pouring out the seven bowls containing God's wrath: "Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed." Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Four Horsemen—often interpreted as representing conquest, war, famine, and death—symbolize various aspects of human suffering and tribulation, underscoring the consequences of a fallen world Pouring Out God's Wrath: Revelation also portrays angels as pouring out God's wrath upon the earth during the end times. Revelation 16 describes the pouring out of the seven bowls of God's wrath by angels, signifying their role in executing divine judgment. In certain end times scenarios, angels are portrayed as warriors fighting against the forces of evil. This aligns with the idea of spiritual warfare, where angelic beings engage in a cosmic battle against demonic forces. Revelation 12:7-9 describes a war in heaven between Michael and his angels and the dragon (Satan) and his angels. .central asia/etc The Rise of Antichrist: End-times prophecies often speak of the emergence of a figure known as the Antichrist. This individual is seen as a deceptive force opposing Christ and leading people away from the truth. The confrontation with this malevolent figure is a key element in end-times narratives. The concept of the Antichrist is often associated with the end times. This figure, described in various passages in the Bible, opposes God and leads many astray. 1 John 2:18 (NIV) warns about the coming of antichrists: "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour." Persecution of Believers: Many end-times prophecies predict increased persecution of believers or followers of God's truth. This theme emphasizes the need for resilience, faithfulness, and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The Woman and the Dragon: A woman clothed with the sun and a great red dragon are symbolic figures representing cosmic and spiritual realities. The woman is often associated with the people of God, while the dragon represents evil forces opposing God's purposes. Natural Disasters: The eschatological discourse in Matthew 24 also mentions natural disasters such as earthquakes, famines, and pestilences as signs of the end times. These events are often interpreted as tribulations that will occur before the culmination of human history. Deception and False Prophets: Another tribulation associated with the eschaton is the rise of deception and false prophets. Jesus warns about false messiahs and false prophets in Matthew 24:24 (NIV): "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Global Distress: The Bible describes a time of global distress and perplexity, where people will be fainting from fear and the expectation of what is coming on the world. Luke 21:25-26 (NIV) states, "There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." Signs in the Heavens: The eschatological discourse in Luke 21 also mentions signs in the heavens, with celestial phenomena indicating the coming of the Son of Man. Luke 21:25-28 (NIV) speaks of distress on the earth and people fainting from fear, but also the redemption drawing near: "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Spiritual Apostasy: The end times are often associated with a falling away from the faith, a spiritual apostasy. In 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (NIV), the apostle Paul speaks of a rebellion that will precede the day of the Lord: "Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction." Famine and Pestilence: Alongside wars and natural disasters, the Bible, particularly in Matthew 24, mentions famines and pestilences as signs of the end times. These occurrences contribute to the tribulations that precede the eschaton. Economic Turmoil: The book of Revelation describes economic challenges during the end times, including the collapse of the global economic system. Revelation 6:5-6 (NIV) speaks of a time when a voice from among the living creatures says, "Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" Distress Among Nations: Luke 21:25 (NIV) mentions distress among nations as part of the signs of the end times. The geopolitical unrest and conflicts contribute to the tribulations that characterize the eschaton. Celestial Signs: In addition to signs in the heavens, the Bible mentions specific celestial events as indicators of the end times. Revelation 6:12-13 (NIV) describes a great earthquake, the sun turning black, the moon turning blood red, and stars falling from the sky. Persecution of Believers: The New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation, foretells a time of persecution for believers during the end times. Revelation 13:7 (NIV) mentions authority being given to the beast to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. The Mark of the Beast: The mark of the beast, often associated with the number 666, is a symbolic representation of allegiance to worldly powers and a rejection of God. It symbolizes the ethical and spiritual choices individuals make during times of trial. Mark of the Beast: The book of Revelation introduces the concept of the mark of the beast, a symbol of allegiance to a worldly power opposed to God. Revelation 13:16-17 (NIV) states, "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." - 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (English Standard Version) Acts 2:17 - "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.'" Martyrdom of Believers:Revelation 6:9-11 (NIV) depicts the souls of martyrs crying out from under the altar, symbolizing the persecution and martyrdom of believers during the end times. Global Fear and Anxiety: Luke 21:26 (NIV) describes people fainting from terror and apprehension about the things coming upon the world. The overall atmosphere of fear and anxiety contributes to the tribulations associated with the eschaton. Global Unity and Conflict: Some interpretations suggest a global convergence of nations and peoples in both unity and conflict during the end times. This can involve geopolitical events and alliances as well as spiritual and moral struggles on a worldwide scale. The Unveiling of Hidden Realities: End-times prophecy often suggests that, as history unfolds towards its culmination, hidden spiritual realities will be unveiled. This includes a deeper understanding of the divine plan, the nature of good and evil, and the ultimate purpose of human existence. Technological and Scientific Advances: Some interpretations of end-times prophecy consider the role of technology and scientific advancements. This includes speculation about how technological developments might be used for both positive and negative purposes during the prophesied times. Environmental Concerns: Certain end-times perspectives incorporate environmental considerations. Prophecies may address the consequences of human actions on the natural world and how the Earth's condition relates to the unfolding of God's plan. The Great Battle and Surrender, Armagedon/Second Coming (Turkey- look up blocking deceptions in bible 20 verses- The Great Deception and Spirit of Deception- ex verses “Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭26‬:‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ The Great Warrior “See now, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: all supplies of food and all supplies of water, the hero and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder, the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, that will not heed the tune of the charmer however skillful the enchanter may be.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭58‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ The passage you have shared is from Psalm 58:4-5 in the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. It describes the wickedness and stubbornness of certain individuals, comparing them to venomous snakes. The passage suggests that their hearts are hardened and resistant to any attempt to change them, even by skilled enchanters or charmers. In a metaphorical sense, the verse implies that there are people who are willfully resistant to reason, correction, or moral influence. They are described as having venomous characteristics, like a snake whose ears are closed and cannot be charmed or influenced by any means. This passage is a poetic expression of the psalmist's lament against those who are unjust and unresponsive to divine or human wisdom. “To him belong strength and insight; both deceived and deceiver are his.” ‭‭Job‬ ‭12‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Final Battle & Defeating Evil Powers (Armageddon):The Bible foretells a climactic battle known as Armageddon, where the forces of good and evil will engage in a final conflict. Revelation 16:16 (NIV) mentions the gathering of armies for battle at a place called Armageddon. Angels are portrayed as engaging in spiritual warfare against demonic forces in the heavenly realms. In Revelation 12:7-9 (NIV), there is a description of Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon (Satan) and his angels. This cosmic battle is part of the end times narrative. Possibly with: In various mythologies and cultures, there are different gods or goddesses associated with the moon. One example is the goddess Selene in Greek mythology, who personified the moon and was often depicted as a beautiful woman riding a chariot across the night sky. Another example is the god Thoth in Egyptian mythology, who was associated with the moon and known as the god of wisdom, writing, and magic. In Islamic tradition, the moon is important as it is used to determine the timing of various religious observances, but there is no specific deity associated with the moon in the Islamic faith. In addition to Selene and Thoth, there are several other gods or goddesses associated with the moon in different mythologies: The deities such as Aphrodite, Hermes, Apollo, and Artemis, had influence beyond the Greek Isles and were recognized and worshipped in various parts of the ancient Mediterranean, including Israel. Their presence in the region demonstrates the interconnectedness of ancient cultures and the shared mythology of the Mediterranean world. However, it is important to note that these deities were part of ancient belief systems and are not recognized or worshipped in contemporary religious practices. 1. Diana/Artemis: In Roman/Greek mythology, Diana (Roman) or Artemis (Greek) is the goddess of the moon, hunting, and the wilderness. She is often depicted as a young woman with a crescent moon on her head or with a bow and arrow. Diana, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology, was indeed worshipped in ancient Rome and had a significant presence in various parts of the Roman Empire, including regions like Israel. She was worshipped as the goddess of the hunt, wild animals, and the moon. Diana/Artemis had numerous temples, sanctuaries, and cults dedicated to her, and she was often associated with fertility and protection. Her worship in Israel can be traced back to the Hellenistic period when Greek culture and religion had a significant influence on the region. The city of Ephesus, located in present-day Turkey but considered part of the ancient Near East, was particularly important in the worship of Diana/Artemis. The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and attracted pilgrims from various regions, including Israel. The Temple of Artemis, also known as the Artemision, is not preserved in its entirety today. The original temple was located in Ephesus, an ancient city in present-day Turkey. Unfortunately, only a few scattered ruins remain at the site. The remains of the Temple of Artemis can be found near the modern town of Selçuk, which is about 50 kilometers south of Izmir. Visitors to Ephesus can still see some remains of the temple's foundation, a few reconstructed columns, and some fragments of sculptures. However, these remnants are only a fraction of the grandeur that the temple once possessed. The original Temple of Artemis was one of the largest and most impressive structures of the ancient world. It was built and rebuilt several times throughout its history, with the most famous version being constructed in the 6th century BCE. This version was a marble temple that stood approximately 115 feet tall and was adorned with numerous columns and intricate sculptures. While the Temple of Artemis is not fully intact today, its historical significance and cultural impact continue to be recognized. The site is a popular tourist attraction, allowing visitors to appreciate the remnants of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 2. Chandra: In Hindu mythology, Chandra is the god of the moon. He is depicted as a fair and beautiful deity, often depicted riding a chariot drawn by ten white horses. 3. Tsukuyomi: In Japanese mythology, Tsukuyomi is the god of the moon. He is associated with the night and is often depicted as a man with a crescent moon in his hair. 4. Mani: In Norse mythology, Mani is the personification of the moon. He is the brother of Sol, the personification of the sun, and is said to ride across the sky on a chariot pulled by two horses. These are just a few examples, as many cultures and mythologies have their own unique deities associated with the moon. Please note: see below In Arab and Islamic culture, there is a strong reverence for the moon, but it is not associated with a specific deity. Instead, the moon holds spiritual significance in the Islamic faith. The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and the sighting of the new moon marks the beginning of each Islamic month. The month of Ramadan, a sacred time of fasting and prayer, is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. Additionally, the moon is mentioned in the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. It is often used as a metaphor for the divine light and guidance that Allah provides to humanity. The Qur'an also emphasizes the beauty and wonders of the natural world, including the moon, as signs of Allah's creation. While there is no specific god or goddess associated with the moon in Arab or Islamic mythology, the moon itself holds a special place in Islamic culture and spirituality. Goat sacrifices were indeed a part of the religious practices at the Temple of Artemis in ancient times. The temple was dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and fertility. Animal sacrifices, including goats, were common in ancient Greek religious rituals as a way to honor and appease the gods. The Temple of Artemis was known for its grand festivals and ceremonies, where worshippers would gather to offer sacrifices and seek the blessings of the goddess. These rituals often involved the sacrifice of animals, including goats, as an offering to Artemis. However, it is important to note that the specific details of these sacrifices, such as the exact location within the temple where they took place, are not well-documented. Ancient Greek temples typically had designated areas for sacrificial activities, such as altars or specific spaces within the temple complex. While we know that goat sacrifices were performed at the Temple of Artemis, the exact locations and details of these rituals have been lost to history. Today, visitors can only imagine and appreciate the historical significance of these practices as they explore the remains of the temple. Luke 4:1-13 recounts the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by the devil. In Revelation 19:11-16, Jesus is described as riding a white horse, leading the armies of heaven, and coming to judge and wage war. This is often referred to as the Second Coming of Christ, when He returns to establish His kingdom and bring judgment upon the unrighteous. It is important to note that while there are references to Jesus returning as a warrior, the primary emphasis throughout Scripture is on His love, mercy, and salvation. Jesus came the first time as the Savior, offering forgiveness and reconciliation to all who believe in Him. His return as a warrior is a response to the rejection of His grace and the culmination of God's plan for redemption. There are references to Jesus being associated with a lion in Scripture. In Revelation 5:5, Jesus is referred to as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah." This imagery signifies His strength, power, and authority. It symbolizes His position as the victorious and conquering Messiah. "Ineffable glory" refers to a glory or magnificence that is beyond human comprehension or description. It is a concept that suggests something so magnificent that it cannot be adequately expressed in words. While the exact phrase "ineffable glory" may not be found in the Bible, there are verses that describe the glory and magnificence of God. Here are a few examples: 1. Psalm 19:1 - "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." This verse speaks of the natural world as a reflection of God's glory. 2. Exodus 33:18-23 - Moses asks to see God's glory, but God tells him, "You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." Instead, God allows Moses to see His back. This passage highlights the incomprehensible nature of God's glory. 3. Isaiah 6:3 - "And they were calling to one another: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.'" This verse describes the heavenly beings worshiping God and acknowledging His glorious presence. 4. 1 Timothy 6:16 - Speaking of God, it says, "who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen." This verse emphasizes the incomprehensibility and unapproachable nature of God's glory. These verses, among many others, help us to grasp the idea that God's glory is beyond human comprehension and description. It is a divine attribute that exceeds our capacity to fully understand or express, highlighting the greatness and majesty of God. Additionally, in Revelation 19:11-16, Jesus is depicted as a warrior riding on a white horse, leading the armies of heaven. Though the passage does not explicitly mention a lion, it does describe His awe-inspiring presence and His ultimate victory over evil. It is important to approach biblical imagery and symbolism with caution and humility, as it is often rich in metaphorical language and open to interpretation. Ultimately, the exact details of the end times and Jesus' return are known only to God. Our focus as believers should be on living faithfully, sharing the Gospel, and eagerly anticipating the return of Jesus, trusting in His sovereignty and His ultimate victory. The Woman and the Dragon referred to in the Book of Revelation can be found in Revelation 12:1-17. In this passage, a pregnant woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head, is being pursued by a great red dragon. The dragon represents Satan or the devil, while the woman is often interpreted as symbolizing the people of God, the Church, or even the Virgin Mary. The passage goes on to describe a war between the dragon and his angels against Michael and his angels, with the dragon ultimately being defeated and cast down to the earth. Witnessing the Final Victory: In Revelation 19:11-16 (NIV), the vision of Jesus returning on a white horse is accompanied by the armies of heaven, which may include angels. This event symbolizes the ultimate triumph of good over evil: "The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean." (11/11/23) -/“hit tore kale moon”/ strike or beat “paper moon” or aka “friendly allusionament” who is "Qamar" is an Arabic word that means the natural satellite that appears in the sky at night, known as the moon. The moon plays an important role in various cultures and religions around the world. In some cultures, the moon is considered a symbol of beauty and romance, and it is often used in poetry, songs, and myths. In certain Arab and Islamic cultures, the appearance of the new moon marks the beginning of a new Hijri month, such as the month of Ramadan and the month of Dhul Hijjah. The moon also plays a crucial role in determining the lunar calendar and the timing of holidays and events in some cultures and religions. The mention of Nickolas, portrayed as the chosen guide and inspiration, takes on a symbolic significance akin to a "paper moon." This term, often associated with something illusory or deceptive, suggests a semblance of light and guidance that is fragile and transient, much like a moon made of paper. The choice of this metaphor emphasizes the potential falsehood in the leadership represented by Nickolas. In the narrative, Nickolas is presented as the instigator, an individual with characteristics of an apostate and heretic. The term "instigator" implies a provocateur who seeks to incite and sow discord, aligning with the idea of confusing and perplexing the people. Despite the outward appearance of zeal and enthusiasm, the underlying motive is to lead astray. Conversely, Hashem, depicted as the Breaker of bread, stands as a contrast to the deceptive nature of the instigator. The breaking of bread is a symbol of fellowship and unity, suggesting Hashem's role as a unifying force among the believers. The metaphor highlights Hashem's reliability and constant presence, in stark contrast to the transient and potentially deceptive nature of the instigator. Rooted in the communal and sacrificial aspects of breaking bread, this imagery signifies not only the provision of physical sustenance but also the continuous, life-giving spiritual nourishment provided by the Living God. Through the lens of biblical verses, this depiction becomes a profound expression of divine involvement, unity, and the enduring fellowship shared between God and those who partake in the spiritual journey of faith. The narrative underscores the importance of discernment, urging believers to see through the illusion of the “paper moon”, represented by Nickolas, and where they needed to anchor their trust in the steadfast and unwavering presence of Hashem, the true Breaker of bread. It serves as a cautionary tale about the challenges of distinguishing between genuine guidance and not deceptive influences in matters of faith. In this vision, Jesus Christ stands before you as the God of All Hope, radiating an aura of wisdom that surpasses human understanding. His very presence brings a profound sense of peace, a tranquility that calms the storms within your restless heart. It is an inexplicable warmth and serenity that envelops you, assuring you of His eternal love and unwavering protection. As the All-Seeing, Jesus’ eyes penetrate every corner, observing the deeds of humanity. Nothing is hidden from His sight, and He holds each one accountable for their actions. His gaze is not one of condemnation but an invitation to find healing and restoration in His all-knowing guidance. Miraculous healings, a testament to divine intervention, become a source of hope in the face of the end times. They are extraordinary events, unexplained by natural or scientific means, often tied to faith and prayers. Your faith becomes an anchor, a bridge to the miraculous, as you place your hope in God’s redemptive power and providence. Hope, a fundamental concept in Christianity, takes various forms in our faith journey. The hope of salvation, eternal life, resurrection, and Christ’s return anchors us in the promises of God. Our hope extends to redemption, transformation, restoration, and the fulfillment of God’s providence, guided by His unfailing love and faithfulness. The Qur'an mentions the moon in various verses, using it as a metaphor or symbol to convey different messages. Here are a few examples: 1. "It is Allah who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight. Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people are not grateful. That is Allah, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?" (Qur'an 40:61-62) This verse highlights Allah's creation of night and day, emphasizing His bountiful nature. The mention of the moon signifies the night, a time for rest and reflection. 2. "Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon." (Qur'an 25:61) This verse acknowledges the beauty and wonder of the celestial bodies, including the moon, as signs of Allah's creation and blessings. 3. "And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze." (Qur'an 67:5) 1. "It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know." (Qur'an 10:5) This verse highlights the role of the moon in determining the phases and the passage of time. It emphasizes the precision and purpose in Allah's creation. 2. "And from among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Allah, who created them, if it should be Him that you worship." (Qur'an 41:37) This verse warns against worshiping celestial bodies such as the sun or the moon. It reminds believers to direct their worship solely to Allah, the creator of these signs. 3. "They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the new moons. Say, 'They are measurements of time for the people and for Hajj.' And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allah. And enter houses from their doors. And fear Allah that you may succeed." (Qur'an 2:189) This verse addresses the question regarding the new moons and their significance. It explains that the new moons serve as a means of measuring time for people and for determining the timing of the Hajj pilgrimage. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of righteousness and fearing Allah. These verses provide further insights into how the Qur'an alludes to the moon, emphasizing its role in measuring time, as a sign of Allah's creation, and as a reminder of the importance of worshiping Allah alone. - /“Net”, “Tis”/ meaning “goat” who “ صافي” is an Arabic word that can have different meanings depending on the context.

During Eid al-Adha, Muslims who can afford it sacrifice an animal, typically a goat, sheep, cow, or camel, following the example of Prophet Ibrahim. The meat is then divided into three parts: one-third is kept for the family, one-third is given to friends and neighbors, and one-third is given to those in need. Eid al-Adha is an important religious festival for Muslims worldwide, and the sacrifice of a goat is a significant part of the celebration. “ra toe” “hecktor”: severe pain, toe injury can occur due to various reasons such as stubbing the toe, dropping a heavy object on it, or participating in sports activities.

Symptoms of a torn ligament may include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty in movement. It is recommended to consult a doctor immediately in case of a tear to assess the injury and provide necessary treatment. Treatment may involve rest, ice application, wearing a splint or finger brace, and avoiding excessive strain on the injured finger. In severe cases, surgery may be required to reconnect the tissues and stabilize the finger. -“ina come”: “the Living One is coming- Ina (Eva) comes from the Ancient Greek language and means "here it is" or "there it is". It is commonly used in English to refer to someone or something that is nearby or present. Example: "Ina is coming!" means "Here she is coming!" where I apologize for the confusion earlier. "إيفا" is a transliteration of the name "Eva" in Arabic. It is a female name of Hebrew origin, meaning "life" or "living one." Certainly! Here is the translation of "Ina comes" into Greek and Arabic: Greek: Ήρθε η Ίνα (Írthe i Ína) “Ήρθε η Ίνα" in Greek is "Ina arrived" or "Ina came." Arabic: إنا تأتي (Ina taati) The phrase "إنا تأتي" in Arabic translates to "We come" or "We are coming" in English. “I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ The complete meaning of this verse is that Jesus, who refers to himself as the "Living One," proclaims that he was once dead but has now risen and is alive for eternity. This statement highlights his victory over death and his eternal existence. Additionally, Jesus asserts that he holds the keys of death and Hades, which symbolizes his authority and control over the afterlife. By holding these keys, Jesus has the power to grant life and determine the destiny of souls. Overall, this verse emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, his triumph over death, and his sovereignty over life and the afterlife. Presence at Christ's Return: Angels are often linked to the return of Christ in the Second Coming. In Matthew 24:31, Jesus speaks of angels gathering the elect from the four winds when the Son of Man comes in glory. "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed." - 2 Peter 3:10 (English Standard Version) "Day of the Lord" include Old Testament prophecies (e.g., Joel 2:31, Malachi 4:5) and New Testament passages (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 2 Peter 3:10). Millenium Daniel 2:44, declaring that Your kingdom, once established, will endure for eternity, a testament to Your everlasting nature. We find solace in the visionary revelations granted to Daniel, unveiling the future course of human history and the establishment of a Divine kingdom that transcends the temporal nature of earthly powers. Revealing Heavenly Worship: The book of Revelation provides glimpses of heavenly worship involving angels and redeemed believers. Revelation 7:11-12 (NIV) presents a scene where angels, along with elders and living creatures, worship God: "All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God." Witnessing Multitudes Around the Throne: Revelation 7:11-12 (NIV) depicts a vast multitude worshiping around the throne, including angels: "All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: 'Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!'" Binding and Throwing Satan into the Abyss: In Revelation 20:1-3 (NIV), an angel descends from heaven, seizes Satan, binds him, and throws him into the abyss for a thousand years. This action signifies the divine authority and judgment executed by angels during the millennial reign of Christ. Final Judgment The Resurrection and Final Judgment: However, the specific identification of the Antichrist as a "goat" is more commonly associated with certain interpretations of eschatological passages, particularly in the book of Daniel and Revelation. The imagery of goats and sheep is famously found in Matthew 25:31–46, where Jesus speaks about the final judgment, separating the righteous (symbolized as sheep) from the unrighteous (symbolized as goats). In this context, the goats represent those who did not care for others in need. End-times prophecies commonly include the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment, where individuals are held accountable for their actions. This aspect emphasizes the ultimate justice and righteousness of God's plan. The Two Witnesses: The two witnesses in Revelation 11 are symbolic figures representing the faithful testimony of God's people. Their death and resurrection mirror the death and resurrection of Christ. The Tree of Life and River of Life: In the final chapters, the Tree of Life and the River of Life symbolize the restoration of paradise and eternal communion with God. They represent the fulfillment of God's promise to those who remain faithful. Harvest and Separation: In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:39-41), angels are involved in the end times harvest and separation of the righteous and the wicked. This implies a role in the final judgment. Some interpretations of end times prophecy involve angels participating in the harvesting and separation of the righteous and the wicked. This is often associated with passages like Matthew 13:39-41, where angels are involved in separating the wheat from the weeds at the end of the age. New Heaven and New Earth Heavenly Jerusalem and New Earth: Some interpretations look forward to the establishment of a new heaven and a new earth as part of the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. This represents a state of perfect communion with God. The vision of the New Jerusalem, adorned as a bride, symbolizes the ultimate union between God and His people. It represents the culmination of God's redemptive plan and the establishment of a perfect, eternal kingdom. "But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells." - 2 Peter 3:13 (English Standard Version)

Prophecies against the nations (Isaiah 13-23): - Sins: Arrogance, pride, idolatry, wickedness - Temptations: Trusting in military might and alliances, relying on false gods This biblical teaching can be related to various prophetic and Old Testament passages, as well as the Book of James. Here are some connections and applications: Submission to Human Authorities (1 Peter 2:13-14): This teaching emphasizes the importance of obeying and respecting the civil authorities appointed over a society. “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” 1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ …the Spirit (All-Loving) which is the Us making up the Godhead including yourself including His Power (All Fruits) and Spiritual Tools and Weapons (All Gifts) and through His Son, Jesus blood purified from all and every sin. Old Testament Prophecies and Principles: Many Old Testament prophets and passages address the relationship between God's people and earthly rulers. For example: Prophecy Against the South (Ezekiel 20:45-49): This prophecy encourages submission to God's commandments as a form of obedience to divine authority. Prophecy Against the Northern Kingdom (Israel): The historical context of Israel's fall due to rebellion against God and human authorities underscores the consequences of disobedience.
