My Sheep
Hear My Voice- Rev. 13:10
Before
Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray,
something so simple, but
they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep.
In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells
you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just
discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many
things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His
voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your
best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly
His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the
dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few
who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and
Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ
needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are
still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so
busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for
time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.
He
that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth
with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience
and the faith of the saints" Rev. 13:10
He
that leadeth...
Some manuscripts read "He that is destined to captivity will go
into captivity; he that is destined to the sword will be killed by
the sword."
he
that killeth... This is just another way of saying, whatever you sow,
you will reap. Those who teach false doctrine causes his neighbor to
go into captivity and so will those who teach it.
Here
is the... A call for the believers to accept persecution from
Antichrist with perseverance and endurance. God has chosen some
believers to be imprisoned and executed which they must not resist
(compare Matthew 26:51-54; 2 Cor. 10:4), but accept with patience
such suffering as God ordains for them (compare 1 Peter 2:19-24).In Matthew Jesus taught Peter that they that take the sword shall perish with the sword when he cut off Malchus' ear. (i.e. don't return evil for evil). End time believers are to depend on God and not to take matters into their own hands. This scripture is for the believers alive at that time during the Antichrist's persecution.
God
will punish those who do evil. The Beast and his followers will be
overthrown and judged. Patience (Gr. hupomone), is perseverance or
endurance. Those who have genuine saving faith will endure all the
persecution of the Beast because they are God's saints.
In
contrast with the invitation addressed to the seven churches where
each exhortation was addressed “to the church,” the mention of
churches is notably absent here. This is another indication that the
church has been raptured before the time of these events. Revelation,
instead of being interpreted as addressed only to first-generation
Christians facing persecution, is better understood as an exhortation
to believers in all generations but especially those who will be
living in the end time. Those who are willing to listen are reminded
that their obedience to the Word of God may result in their captivity
or martyrdom (Rev. 13:10), so the exhortation closes, This calls for
patient endurance (hypomonē,
“steadfastness, perseverance”; cf. Rev. 14:12) and faithfulness
on the part of the saints.
