‘Last Generation’
While we await the
fall of Iran, regime change and the incarnation of the Antichrist to start
World War 3, let's check our own doctrines and our understanding of Jesus'
words and endtime signs
Rev 3:18 “I counsel
you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white
garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be
revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye
salve, that you may see.”
Our Lord Jesus
admonished the spiritual leaders who gave more honour to gold than the things
of God. These are worldly and covetous Christians who serve mammon instead of
God. They walk only by sight and not by faith. So brethren be free from the
bondage of money and live by faith, which is more precious than gold.
Mat 23:16-17 “Woe to
you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but
whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools
and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the
gold?”
1 Pet 1:6-7 In this
you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been
grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more
precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to
praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
2 Pet 1:5-7 But also
for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue
knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to
perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly
kindness love.
Virtue is workiqng
out our belief or principle. If we believe that Jesus is our Provider then
don’t beg, and if Jesus is our Healer, then trust Him completely, and only then
we can know the truth (knowledge of His word). After having the truth (been set
free), we can have self-control (overcome our lusts and pride).
After having self-control, we will be able to endure great
pains for righteousness sake. After having perseverance, we can be like our
Lord (godliness) – full of mercy, forgiveness, compassion, etc.
After having
godliness, we can truly love our brethren and after having this brotherly love,
we will be able to love our enemies and only then is our love perfected.
2 Pet 1:8 For if these
things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Pet 1:9 For he who
lacks these things is shortsighted,
even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
These things
found in 2 Pet 1:5-7 are the eye salve, which the rich and blind endtime
churches must purchase with all the wealth they possessed. When we have this
eye salve, we will be enlightened and have the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ, otherwise we will be short sighted or blind.
Note: -
‘confessing old sins’ (i.e. sins before salvation) is heresy.
We thank our loving
Father that He has freely given to each of us every good thing for our joy and
benefit. He has also shown us the way to perfection and most importantly the
entrance into the kingdom of Christ.
2 Pet 1:10-11 Therefore,
brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you
do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to
you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.
