Christian Suffering

In the past, men wrote about God from their vantage point in time and according to present knowledge.

Honor Our Creator, Y’hayah, for He is the Source of Our Life in this reality. And Honor Y’sho at Calvary, The Finest Soldier who has ever existed or ever will exist. Follow the precepts in The Bible and regardless of what happens between God and Satan, we will be with people who only love, with mercy.

God’s heart is soft as rain and He had watch as His Son was tortured in a horrible way, invisibly, by pure evil, but it wasn’t invisible to God. Be Love with Mercy about it.

Remember God loves you and Yeshwah loves you, that much.

Little life lessons for Heaven and Earth.

Do not be afraid, fear and being afraid creates an opening for evil leading to sin. Revere God is what you are to do, do not not fear Him.

Love with Mercy is diametrically opposite to evil with hate and is naturally opposed to it. When someone demonstrates love for you, it is only natural to love them back. Not to, is unnatural.

Satan leaves people alone and Christian love flourishes among the laity if they worship a false god and Satan rewards them in many ways. Watch Tower and Jehovah’s Witnesses are an example of this.

Fortunately for us we are living in the time period now known as “Jericho” and don’t have as long to wait as people in the past have had to wait.

We entered the time period now known as “Jericho” at the end of February 2022 when The King of The North from Dany’Al Chapter 11 (Russia) made his aggressive move into the Ukraine. In the predawn hours of Feb242022, the long-feared Russian invasion of Ukraine began. 

Jericho, 7 years, Bible numbering, a day for a year.
