Today,
reply is on the conflict and tensions of the End Times being the
ordinary and usual process of the World system. The World system is
the collection of man-made elements to ensure exchange, interaction,
carnal pleasure, and human survival. Christian believers are not to
be alarmed, confused, or distracted from their sacred duties. It is
written: Revelation 18: 1-5, King James Version (KJV): 1 And after
these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great
power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all
nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and
the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the
merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come
out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that
ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto
heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. A writer in the

I
believe we are living in the end times. In this era the world is
going chaotic. Am I the only one alone on this?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: From whence come wars and fightings among you?
come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in
your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have,
and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask
not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may
consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of
God.(James 4: 1-4, King James Version, KJV)

“Pris”,
here are some things that may not be familiar; even so, properly
understood, the counsel to developing and mature Christian believers
from Jesus Christ is that our focus during the end time should not be
on sin and punishment, the process and substance of the world, or the
agonies and infirmities of the flesh. Rather, focus should be on the
proclamations, promises, and prophecies shared with us by divine
fullness (we also say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son,
the Holy Spirit). For the belief system we call “the World”,
conflict and striving are “normal” aspects of living process
along with human mortality as are the domination of awareness and
self-will (willpower) in created beings and living creatures by the
operations of sin. Believers are neither to be in awe nor in
spiritual confusion regarding the sights and sounds of the last days.
Clear and graphic pictures have been provided within the holy
writing to edify and further provide the comfort, faith and holy
boldness required for the times. Mysteries and secrets are explained
that include the Great Whore, who represents the commerce and
industry of the World. The followers of Jesus are to be
forward-looking, and to continue unselfish service to divinity
displaying Christ-likeness, vigilance, and zeal. Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible:
1.
1st John 2: 14-17, King James Version (KJV): 14 I have
written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is
from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye
are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome
the wicked one. 15 Love not the world, neither the things that
are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
2.
Revelation 17: 1-7, KJV: 1 And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come
hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that
sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been
made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away
in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and
when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel
said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath
the seven heads and ten horns.
3.
Revelation 17: 14-18, KJV: 14 These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King
of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen,
and faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest,
where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,
and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put
in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth
over the kings of the earth.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. Revelation 22: 16-21, KJV: 16 I
Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the
churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the
bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this
book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall
take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which
testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with you all. Amen.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.
Be it unto you according to your faith.
