This is Melissa.
I would like to request prayer for spiritual protection because I had difficult confrontations today about biblical teachings. The people I wrote to (formerly spoke with in person but they still wouldn't listen) claim to be involved in biblical ministries, but after some research, I found continued allegations of misconduct. I believe that these ministries are teaching incorrect doctrine and leading people astray. I confronted them about their teachings, especially the claim of a church founded by a woman who was not qualified, Aimee Semple McPherson. Another ministry allows his second wife to be an elder. I urged them to study the scriptures and teach God's truth with love because I believe they are leading people toward sin and spiritual peril. We live in dangerous times for those who study the scriptures amongst those who think we don't. Many believe in the teachings of the old, not the new reformation, and adultering the scriptures like so many men are doing today.
Many men on YouTube have a very difficult time with confrontation, even when they know they are blatantly wrong. Most of them don't respond to me, and when they do, they are not happy. Some of these men who look somewhat wholesome will not hesitate to support dead homosexual teachings. A family man believes the guy who is now in the grave formerly led people to Jesus while practicing that sexual sin. These are the ones who claim to profess the love of Christ in truth but will harm those who know they are not living in the truth of God's qualifications according to Timothy and Titus's letters. Perhaps, they are not reading the scriptures in context at all. Or they don't care about what God has to say in James 3:1.
Our country is in very serious trouble. We are not spiritually or doctrinally sound about what is coming in the future. Much of this problem has to do with thousands of false bible teachers, both men and women. According to the scriptures, Matthew 24, Jesus said the tribulation will be Great, and the man of lawlessness will be seated in the East. The Mark of the Beast will infiltrate an allegiance to choose God or Satan. People today are shifting their necks to the sky looking for a rapture while many people are dying on the streets and other places without hearing the name of Jesus at all. I know because I've been out there by myself. I'd rather it be in twos. The rapture is in the future, and I don't dare set a specific date. That has become an idol for some people.
There are prophetic events that must happen before the rapture of God. Look at these scriptures: Malachai 4:5; 2 Thess. 2; 2 Thess. 2:3-4; and Joel 2:31. These occur before the Day of the Lord. The rebellion, apostasy, cosmic events, and the revealing of the Man of Lawlessness, or Antichrist will happen before the rapture. The Pauline Eschatological letter titled The Man of Sin says that even the wicked will grow worse because of the man of lawlessness. It's horrifying what Paul reveals to his readers, but all glory in the end goes to Jesus.
Because of these problems and deceptions, it will be easier for the enemy to mark his allegiance. It will be similar to the masking. If the time between what happened recently for over three years in our country didn't strengthen people's resolve or if they've lost their resiliency, just think how much easier it will be for the enemy to take more of what he wants in the future. For three years people covered their faces. Think about that. I didn't hide my face for them, not once. I was outside almost every day. I saw a lot of the grievous harm that came to thousands of people. Recycle bins were full of empty alcoholic beverages, fires burned near where I lived, violence became more prevalent out in the open, morale suffered, homelessness abounded while people hid in their homes, lawmakers created more lawless bills, and women such as myself were stared down by large men and accosted. We are seeing the consequences of spiritual, doctrinal neglect. We also have more social callousness and economic carelessness. Just think how quickly that masking phenomenon came upon all the nations. I'm still astounded by how long it lasted.
I cannot ever unsee what I saw happen amongst humans for over three years because of food, housing, and breathing restrictions. This is why God wants to help us overcome and endure to the end. It is astounding the violence that is possible between people from wanting lots of toilet paper, to wearing a hat during a non-emergency crisis.
I'm trying not to be afraid as the bible says not to be 365 times.
This is a commentary on "Signs of the end in Luke 21:8-11 (See Mt. 24:4-7; Mark 13:5-8.) Jesus' first words were a warning not to expect the end immediately. The disciples were not to be led by false messiahs. Nor were they to be tempted to despair by the dreadful events which would precede the end. There would be both human conflict and cosmic disaster before the end.
The fate of the disciples 21:12-19 (Cf. Mt 10:17-22; 24:9-14; Mark 13:9-13.)
Before the cosmic signs, there will be tribulation for the disciples themselves as they suffer persecution from both the Jews and the Romans (eschatological belief is of a Roman spirit). This apparent disaster will be an opportunity to witness the gospel. They need not be worried about preparing speeches beforehand, for in the hour of crisis Jesus Himself will inspire them for bold and incontrovertible witness. Persecution will come even from family and friends and lead to martyrdom and universal hatred. But in all this, they will be under the hand of God, and whatever happens to them, those who endure faithfully to the end will gain eternal life. 14, 15 This saying plainly applies to Christians suddenly arrested and brought into court, not to preachers going peacefully to their pulpits! I will give.....In 12:11 f, the Holy Spirit is to be the teacher of the disciples. John 16:7 shows that He is sent by Jesus. 18, 19 In view of the preceding teaching, these verses can hardly mean that the disciples will be saved from physical harm and martyrdom; they contain the promise of divine control over their fate and a summons to perseverance.
The fall of Jerusalem 21:20-24 (Cf Mt 24:15-22; Mark 13:14-20.)
Men who value their lives will flee before it is too late, for it will be the time of God's judgment upon the city. At the thought of the inevitable suffering, especially for the women, Jesus again broke out in sorrow. The city would be depopulated and handed over to Gentile domination for a fixed period."-(Guthrie, Motyer, Stibbs, Wiseman, The New Bible Commentary Revised (WM. B. Eerdman's Publishing Co.), pg 919.
This is why I don't have many friends. I'm well, in my late forties, and have lots of energy. I spend a lot of time alone, studying, outdoors, and praying. God, the love we could share amongst brothers and sisters is not shown like it somewhat was when I was younger. Fighting and violence have increased, and a lot of it is over biblical doctrine. This kind of life that we are growing into with technology isn't what God meant for fulfilling human relations. I hope I can be patient, and endure in love, and no matter how much people hate me, I don't want it to hinder my heart into the permanent bleakness of lovelessness.
