ACHIEVING SPIRITUAL BALANCE

It is YAHWEH who determines who will receive salvation in this current evil age. GOD must put a person in HIS church, no one else can. Acts 2:47

This calling and election of GODS church was completed before time began, from the foundation of the world. Titus 1:2  2 Timothy 1:9  Romans 8:28,29,30   Ephesians 1:4   The point of all this is to show that GOD alone in eternity called and chose all the elect saints, from righteous Able to whoever the last one will be to a total of 144,000.  It is extremely rare to be one of the 144,000 .  With this in mind how likely do you think it would be for you to convert your family and friends by preaching to them ?  What you may think by trying to do this will produce more harm than good.  The conscience of the carnal world is seared with a hot iron against everything that is of GODS truth.  Carnal people will not appreciate what you are trying to do and will turn and rent you.  It was given to the Apostles to preach the gospel to the world, are you an Apostle ?  With the number of the elect alive today how would they preach to the world ?  The elect are scattered, have no money, do not even know each other or where each other are.  The elect are not to be preaching the gospel to the world else GOD would be giving them everything they would need to do it.

  The elect are to be about one thing, love GOD and neighbor, be as lights not a foghorn and by how the love is a testimony to the world.  Just as Jesus was in the world but the world didn’t know him the elect are in the world that doesn’t know us.  The mysteries of the kingdom of GOD have been given to us but not the world.  The odds of one elect meeting another is astronomical.  If we try preaching to the world we are actually going against GODS will.  One of the signs of the return of Jesus is,  Matthew 24:14 ,  the true gospel must be preached in all nations as a witness and then the end will come.  If the true gospel had been preached all along how could it then be a sign ?  The organizational structure of the church has changed since the first century.  GOD has removed all human ministry, therefore any who say they are a minister is a liar.  The elect saints are to be seeing to their own growth in the Spirit.  I have had to learn the hard way not to preach to people as they will become your enemies.  Matthew 10:36   Luke 12:53   Micah 7:6   Mark 13:12   Matthew 24:10   John 15:18,19   Jeremiah 9:4,5   There are many more scriptures that describe the condition that exists in the world between GODS saints and the carnal people.  In a forum like this I remain anonymous and only speak to others who are anonymous and everyone is seeking answers, it is not like preaching to our families or friends.  It takes spiritual maturity to achieve a balance in how the saints deal with the unconverted.  The best way is to love, be a good neighbor, be kind and giving and in this way perhaps someone may ask you a question.  1 Peter 3:15  notice, if you are asked, so do not offer answers before you are asked.  We are to be lights in the world, a light makes no sound.  We are not to be foghorns blaring out a message no one wants to hear or can hear.  On a forum like this many questions are asked and if we believe that we have an answer then we answer.  Then it’s up to each one to determine the value of the answer.  Participation in this process seems sparse and that is sad.  If however there is something GOD can use here then HE will enter the conversation and open minds, we can’t do this.  The glory in all things is GODS so if spiritual knowledge is gained it will be GOD who gives it.  This however I think is extremely rare as many are called but few are chosen.  A new convert, a babe in Christ, must grow to understand these things and only GOD can make this happen.  The mature Christian who was once a babe himself will have compassion on the babe and knows that in time GOD will make the babe mature.

The act of fellowship in this is very important so that iron can sharpen iron.  It is all to be done in GODS love.  The babe, weak or new convert should not be easily offended by the comments of the mature and neither should the mature be insensitive to the babe.

It all requires a spiritual balance.

EARTH WIND WATER AND FIRE

The ancient science of classifying the universe had only four areas that all things were defined by.  These were earth, wind, water and fire.  The earth was anything that came from the earth, wind was the movement of the air , water was the the flowing of a substance and fire was what gave warmth and light.

This ancient method was developed by a Greek man named Empedocles in the mid fifth century BC.  Today our modern science has greatly expanded on this ancient method to categorize and define further the things that make up these original four groups.

Science is the study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation and testing theories against the evidence obtained.  Over many years science has “evolved” due to new discoveries and therefore proves that science is not able to produce a definitive answer to what we call creation.  Faith is defined as a strong belief in GOD and in the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual apprehension rather than on proof.  While science and faith have many differences they have some things in common.  Certain scientific facts align with those of faith. A man can throw a rock up into the air and the rock will fall to the ground, both science and faith agree with this.  There are other examples of this.  When science involves itself in areas that it cannot prove it becomes a faith in the physical.  Faith also has this same effect.  Faith believes in GOD but cannot prove GODS existence by physical means and neither can science.  What we have here is a conflict between science and faith that exists only when there is no proof available for either.  Science as defined is purely physical while faith is purely spiritual so that the two when used improperly will conflict with each other.  Science today has too many unproven theories that are used as a base or foundation to build on in the hope of acquiring knowledge.  These theories have over time been disproven and replaced with another theory.  Faith is only the same in this way because of Satanic deception in the minds of carnal men.  Yet another spiritual component is required to have a sure faith that is truth and that is the Holy Spirit dwelling in true Christians.  Just as science goes often the wrong way so does faith without the spirit.  Science attempts to explain creation without a creator.  False faiths say there is a creator but do not know who HE is.  Therefore both science and faith operate on theories without having what is needed to truly understand, the Holy Spirit of GOD.  This true spiritual knowledge by the Holy Spirit is rejected by science and false faiths.  

The physical and spiritual are vastly different things.  GOD can only be know and worshipped in spirit, never with physical things.  Both science and false faiths operate without the Holy Spirit and therefore both are blinded to the true spiritual meaning of creation, GOD, Christ, life, death, faith, hope, love and everything that involves the spiritual. Both science and false faiths are like blind men groping in the darkness.  Deuteronomy 28:29   Isaiah 59:10   Zephaniah 1:17   Proverbs 4:19   Matthew 5:14 

The faith of a true Christian is exceedingly rare in this world as only a very few are called and chosen.  It is these people that understand both faith and science for what they really are.  

THE DOOR

John 10:9   Jesus said, “I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved…..”   John 10:1,2,3,4,5,6,7  Jesus explains that anyone who uses another gate or door is a thief and robber.  These thieves and robbers are false Christianity, false ministers of Satan. Jesus is the shepherd of the sheep.  Jesus is the gate, the door, the shepherd.  The sheep are those called and chosen by GOD to enter the gate , the door .  Jesus opens the gate, the door for the elect to enter.  The sheep hear the voice of Jesus in their human spirit.  Jesus calls us by name and leads us out of this world.  Jesus went on ahead of the elect into the kingdom, he brings out his sheep, the elect follow his voice but not the voice of a stranger.  The elect do not follow the voice of the false shepherds and flee from them.  Read all of John 10:1-18 in these verses is hidden spiritual wisdom.  

The Philadelphia church has set before them an opened door, an open gate.  Revelation 3:7-13  The spiritual wisdom of GOD is either opened or shut.  It is shut to the world but open to the elect saints.  We have this open door, we have Christ, the gate, the door.  Through Jesus, the mediator, we have access to GOD.  John 6:45  We learn from the FATHER through the door, the gate, the messiah, the mediator between GOD and us.  We experience the working power of the spirit behind Elijah, the Holy Spirit, to restore to us the things that were lost.  We are taught by GOD through the door, the gate, Jesus Christ.

Matthew 17:11  is the Elijah to come, to restore all things.  John 14:26  The Holy Spirt of the FATHER through Christ will teach us all things and remind us of what Jesus taught.  

The door, the gate, the mediator, the messiah, the first born of many, the son of GOD .  Jesus was and is all these things.  The time of the the restoration of all things began after Jesus ascended to his GOD and our GOD.  Over the centuries since then GOD has called and chosen HIS elects saints to HIMSELF through HIS son.  We, the saints of today, are living in the last days and the number of brethren yet to be called and chosen is extremely small but when the number is completed there will be 144,000.  Of this number there is to be a faithful remnant yet alive just prior to the return of Christ.  They, along with all the elect will be sealed in righteousness with the mark of GOD in our spirits whether dead or alive.  Those saints alive in that day will defeat the corruption of the antichrist, instruct many people, be strong and do great exploits.  The people they instruct will fall by the sword, the Laodiceans, and false brethren will join the elect and Laodiceans seeking to avoid punishment.  Daniel 11:31-35   

It is the hope of the elect at this time to be of the number of the remnant of the 144,000 who are alive and remain.  1 Corinthians 15:51  1 Thessalonians 4:16,17  Isaiah 1:9  Romans 9:29   This however is in GODS hands.  Either way we will inherit the kingdom of GOD.  

LIGHT VERSES DARKNESS

Carnal people know what physical light and darkness is but they have no idea about spiritual light and spiritual darkness.  Jesus came into a world in spiritual darkness as a great spiritual light.  John 12:46   John8:12   John 1:4,5   John 9:5   Isaiah 9:2

 The people of this world of spiritual darkness have for the vast majority rejected the spiritual light.  John 3:19,20,21   1 John 1:5,6,7   There are a people who have come to the spiritual light and are called and chosen by GOD to be HIS elect saints.  Luke 1:78,79

Colossians 1:13   1 Peter 2:9   Ephesians 5:8   2 Corinthians 4:6  Now, there is another kingdom, the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of Satan. The world Jesus came into as a great spiritual light was in darkness and the vast majority of the people loved the darkness rather than the light.  This world is Satans kingdom of darkness.  The saints have been called out of Satans kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.  The saints do not walk in darkness anymore.  If we examine Satans kingdom, this world, we see how it operates.  Satan has been given rulership of the darkness by the will of GOD.  When Satan told Jesus that all the kingdoms of the world were given to him he was not lying otherwise Jesus would have called out the lie as Jesus did in Satans other attempts to get Jesus to sin.  How did Satan become the god of this world ?  Adam was given dominion over the earth and in effect was the god of the world.  When Adam sinned by obeying Satan Adam relinquished his rule to Satan.  This confirms a biblical principle, “whoever you render yourself a servant to obey, that is who you will obey.”  In the world since then the vast majority of mankind are the children of Satan.  Only the elect saints of GOD have been called out of Satans dark kingdom.  Acts 26:17,18  Colossians 1:13,14   John 12:46   Once you are in the spiritual light you are to have nothing to do with darkness.  Ephesians 5:11   Romans 13:12 

1 John 1:6,7   What is it that the saints should avoid in Satans kingdom of darkness ?  Since there are two kingdoms then there are two vastly different ways of living. Your faith, obedience, trust and hope is placed in what kingdom you choose.  You cannot serve two different kingdoms at the same time, it’s one or the other.  As a saint you are to seek only GODS kingdom, acknowledge GODS  chosen king, Jesus Christ, as your leader, ruler and king, no one else.  The saints are to submit themselves to the kingdom of GOD only.  How then can we do this if we submit ourselves to another kingdoms rules, authority, faith, hope, trust and obedience in the governments of Satan ?  What do we serve and belong to, light or darkness ?  While the saints are spiritually not of this darkness we are physically yet present in it. We are to shine as lights in it.   We only obey whatever nation we happen to be in as long as it doesn’t violate GODS will for us.  We must have our spiritual senses sharpened to discern good from evil.  Our submission to one of Satans governments does not mean participation in it.  Actively participating in the kingdom of darkness is to betray the kingdom of light that we were called into. How is participating in darkness being in the light ?  Should the saints have two leaders, two governments, to sets of laws or two different ways or paths ?  Isaiah 3:12  According to GODS prophet it is human leaders that destroy the path we need to follow.  The worlds leaders are of Satan who deceives people to trust in human governments rather than the government of GOD.  The people of this world have the devil as their father and will do the devils works.  John 8:44   Matthew 13:38  The degree of the Devils deception is great as all the world has been deceived by Satan except GODS chosen elect saints.  Revelation 12:9 

2 Thessalonians 2:9,10   The saints of GOD do not get involved with the governments of Satan in any way.  GOD intends to destroy all human governments, the work of the Devil, and replace them with the kingdom of GOD.  1 John 3:8   Since all human governments are going to be destroyed do you want to be on the losing side or be a winner by serving only GODS kingdom ?   The choice is simple, light or darkness, go to and remain in the light. 

2 CORINTHIANS 6:17

“Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says YAHWEH.  Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.”  2 Corinthians 6:17

Who is “them” ?  It is the world of the unconverted.

What does “be separate” mean ?  To set apart or set a boundary, to consecrate to sanctify, to distinguish one thing from another.

What is unclean ?  Not pure.  An impure unclean spirit human or demon. To be defiled and separated from what is holy and pure.   

When we are called by GOD we are made clean of past sins through baptism.  1 Peter 3:21. Then by the gift of GODS spirit, the good leaven, the old leaven of malice and wickedness is purged out and we are made clean. 1 Corinthians 5:7  Baptism rids us of the evil leaven and we become a new lump ready to be made clean by the giving of the Holy Spirit. 

Therefore,  Acts 10:15  ,  Cornelius and his house were cleansed by GODS spirit, given before they were baptized.  Peter spoke this way to Cornelius,  Acts 10:28   In the law of Moses the clean and unclean laws were only symbolic of the spirit that influenced your life; either the spirit of Satan that is unclean or the spirit of GOD that makes us clean. Satan and the demons are unclean spirits.  The elect saints are clean.  Ephesians 5:26,27   The “word” in this verse is the word of GOD. This word was preached by a man called Jesus of Nazareth.  It was about the kingdom of GOD.   The world has not been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD, only the church of the elect saints know the mysteries.  Matthew 14:11  The entire carnal world is unclean and the saints are not to touch it, that is the things of the world.  Satan is the god of the unconverted world, the children of the devil that do the will of their god, Satan.  This evil is in all the things of their society.  There is no area of their lives that Satan has not infiltrated.  As GODS chosen saints we must be extremely careful and acutely aware of all of Satans devices and not touch them.

We use the gift of spiritual discernment to determine what is of GOD and what is not.  1 John 4:1   Isaiah 35:8  Matthew 7:13,14   Proverbs 16:17   1 Thessalonians 4:7   2 Corinthians 7:1  Romans 12:1,2    Just as light has No fellowship with darkness, Ephesians 5:11 ,  clean has No fellowship with the unclean, 2 Timothy 2:20,21  

Look at this carnal world and ask yourself, what is clean ?  Your answer should be nothing.  The social fabric of the carnal world is unclean.  All their institutions, religions and governments are unclean, do not touch them and YAHWEH will receive you.

This article I hope will, with GOD making it possible, open your eyes to a much better understanding of 2 Corinthians 6:17 .  

Once GOD has made us clean to go back into the unclean is as Peter says,  2 Peter 2:22  and Jesus   Matthew 12:43,44,45   and Paul Galatians 4:9 

If you are a true Christian and are involved in any part of Satans world I hope you will be given the eyes to see it and repent, ask and receive forgiveness.

THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD AND THE DECEIVED CHURCHES OF MEN

 How the true church of GOD operates today is not how it operated in the first century.  The church no longer has Apostles.  In fact because of tremendous deception GOD removed all humans from the ministry.  There are no more pastors, evangelists, or Apostles.  Of necessity there are only prophets and prophetesses, that’s it, nothing else.  GOD and Christ are in complete control of the church.  In the first century the gift of prophecy wasn’t given to everyone because Paul said, covet to prophesy, 1 Corinthians 14:39 , if all were prophets why say this.  Then there is this, 1 Corinthians 12:27,28,29,30,31  So, in the first century the office of prophet was limited but today this gift is absolutely needed so that GOD through Jesus the mediator can teach HIS elect saints HIS truth.  In this way it makes deception impossible.  Matthew 24:24   The church in the first century was organized, did have human leaders, churches were established in various places, deception and persecution was beginning.  Today the true church is scattered, extremely few in number, not trying to fulfill the great commission, they do not know any other of the elect or their locations except the group they fellowship with. All of them are being taught by GODS spirit through Christ.  John 6:45  They have no human leader, their leader is Christ.  These saints all have the gift of prophecy because this is how they are taught, a connection to GOD through Christ, just as everyone in scripture has always been that learned since Pentecost and even in ancient times where GOD used angels and prophets to speak HIS truth to people HE chose.  No one of their own volition can join the true church, GOD must put you in.  Acts 2:47   From the time of righteous Able until the elect saints are sealed the total number of them will be 144,000.  Revelation 7:3   The worlds carnal churches are all of Satan the devil and are deceiving the unconverted with all kinds of heresy and lies.  The false churches are led by some man who thinks he can do what only GOD can do.  If you are in any of theses churches you are deceived and a child of the devil.  Unless GOD decides to call and choose you to become one of the elect you will remain deceived and in the future worship the antichrist.  There is yet hope for you only because GOD allowed you to remain in deception at this time because if GOD would give you HIS spirit you would blaspheme the spirit and suffer everlasting death.  At the present time GOD knows you will not repent so HE will wait and give you HIS spirit at a better time for you.  2 Peter 3:9   Isaiah 55:6,7   Luke 15:10   The elect saints of GODS true church were elected, personally chosen by GOD because HE knew they, in this current evil age, would repent.  Of the 2.38 billion who claim to be Christians today none of them are.  This is how massive the deception of Satan is.  Revelation 12:9

As I have repeatedly said in my articles, you, the reader, the vast majority of you, will not believe anything I have written.  You will attack me, make false accusations against me and label me a devil when in reality you are.  This also was prophesied to happen in the latter days.  2 Timothy 3:1,2,3,4   1 Timothy 4:1,2   If Christ came to earth again, as a man, and preached his gospel to you, you would kill him again.  You believe in the doctrines of demons.  You are totally blind spiritually, you do not have the Holy Spirit.  Right now you feel great hatred for me and desire even to harm me.  That is expected.  However someday in the future you will come to see that I have indeed told you the truth.

GODS LOVE VERSES THE WORLDS LOVE

The love that is in the world is not the love of GOD.

Hope that is in the world is not the hope of GOD.

Faith that is in the world is not the faith of GOD.

The good that is in the world is not the good of GOD.

Agape, the love of GOD is what will fulfill the law, never do any evil, therefore whatever is not of the love of GOD is sin. The carnal world is not of the love of GOD therefore it is sin.  To mix it up with the world in politics is therefore a sin because it is not of GODS love.  The world is condemned, the elect are not condemned.  All mature Christian elect know these things, however a babe in Christ will need taught these things by GOD.  Philippians 3:15  Romans 15:1,2,3,4,5,6,14  1 Thessalonians 5:14 

The mature Christian has grown in grace and knowledge beyond that of a babe in Christ and this is to be expected. The mature, the strong, should help the babe, the weak, by sharing with them what GOD has taught them and GOD will then open the minds, the spirit of the babe, to understand and through this process we all eventually come to the unity of the faith. The bride must make herself ready and this is how she does it. Ephesians 4:1-16  Revelation 19:7  

To have GODS love a person must have GODS spirit. If a Christian loves it is with GODS love not the love that is in the world.  A Christian cannot love anyone with the worlds love.  The world cannot love us either. If a Christian loves their family, no matter if they are converted or not, they love with GODS love and not with the love of the world.  The many governments of this world cannot be of GODS love because they are all evil and are Satans governments.  To think that these governments can be the answer to any problem by selecting the lesser of two evils, when both candidates in all elections are Satans children, is not GODS love.   People that do think this way are looking for love in all the wrong places.  There is no good that can come from human Satanic governments because there is only one who is good and that is GOD.  Therefore, in the matter of love and goodness, the governments of this world has neither.  To think evil governments can help in any way is wrong thinking.  Only GOD is love and only GOD is good.  Satanic governments are evil and their love is false.  You will not find GOD in the world’s governments. Why seek for something in a thing that doesn’t have it ?  A Christian understands that only GOD has the true answers to all their problems and are to cast all their cares upon HIM.  Should we go to Satan and his evil governments for help or should we go to GOD ?  Should we grow impatient waiting for GOD and peruse help and answers from Satans governments ?  GOD is not with any human government HE is with HIS own government, the kingdom , which Christians are to represent.  Christians are to be lights in a world of darkness to be witnessing to the truth of the kingdom of GOD by living our lives in GODS will.  GODS will is to destroy all human forms of government and replace them with HIS government, the kingdom of GOD.   This is what Christians should be doing and we do this by having nothing to do with human governments but everything to do with GODS government.  No Christian helps themselves or their families by participating in Satans evil governments.   Instead Christians set an example as Christ did who was totally and completely immersed in his GOD and FATHERS will.  That will of GOD is to establish HIS kingdom on this earth.  Thy kingdom come thy will be done and not the will of man, Satan or the evil governments of this world. Do not think that human love and good are the same as GODS love and good, they are not, and devil hopes you will think they are.  Worldly love and good is of Satan, it is a dark fake impersonation, it is part of the great delusion of Satan.  I expect the world to fall for this lie but a Christian never should. Christians have the hope of GODS kingdom but there is no hope, no love, no good in human/Satanic governments.  

In summary; there is no love, good, faith or hope in any form of human government but in all these things and much more are in the kingdom of GOD.

 By my observation of the conditions in this present world I have a sense that the return of Christ is not that far off.  Paul told us that we are not in darkness so that we cannot see the day approaching.  Then we also have the sure words of the prophets and Jesus.  

In the book of Daniel the prophet.  Daniel 12:1  mentions the great tribulation and the salvation of GODS elect saints.  Notice it is everyone’s name found written in the book, referring to the lambs book of life.  Daniel 12:2  speaks of the first and second resurrections.  The resurrection to everlasting life are those whose names are in the book of life but those resurrected to shame are in the second resurrection and this shame leads them into genuine repentance but those to everlasting contempt are cast into the lake of fire.  There are only four possibilities of what will be the final outcome of a person.  One, they become one of GODS elect before the tribulation and are sealed in their foreheads.  Two, they are in the innumerable multitude,  three, they repent and live into the millennium and 4, they are at the great white throne judged either to live or cast into the lake of fire. 

There is also a series of days mentioned.  1260 , 1290 , 1335  and  2300.  The 1260 is the midpoint of the seven year covenant that antichrist makes with 10 nations.  Once the antichrist ends the daily sacrifices and sets up the abomination of desolation is 1290 and this happens when he declares himself god.  Only 45 days after at the 1335 the elect saints are sealed in their foreheads.  Then at the 2300 is the return of Jesus and the sanctuary is cleansed.  The total number of days in a 7 year covenant is according to a Hebrew calendar year in which is 360 days therefore,  360 x 7= 2520 days.  This number of 2300 seems short of the 2520 but this is because Christ returns early and the tribulation is cut short for the sake of GODS elect and that if the tribulation were not cut short no one on earth would be left alive.   Therefore, when we see the antichrist make the 7 year covenant with the 10 nations we know that Christ will return in 2300 days.  Also when we see the two witnesses murdered we know Christ will return in 3 1/2 days.  This is why we are not in darkness and know when it is at the door.  Matthew 24:30   The only thing we need to see happen is the making of the 7 year covenant then we will know approximately when all things will be fulfilled.

This is the current understanding but as you should know there may be modifications made as more light shines which is the nature of prophecy.  

With the election of President Trump we have what on the surface seems to be a messiah figure who intends to usher in a new golden age.  Trump firmly believes that he was saved by GOD in order to save the U.S. and he is determined to do so.  Combine this with Trumps extremely close relationship with Israel and the extreme opposition by the democrats.  If we are approaching that 7 year covenant then the stage has to be set to achieve it.  I see the antichrist as a Jewish man, a descendent of king David, who will in the future be ruling Israel . I see that Trump will align the U.S. with Israel and be one of the 10 nations of the antichrist.  There will be a third temple and the sacrifices will be reinstated along with all the law of Moses. There will be a false Elijah, the false prophet, that copycats what the real Elijah did thus adding to the deception of those days.  The image of the beast is the image of the glory days of Solomon that, an image of the beast, image of a nation that once was, then is not, but yet is. The healing of the deadly wound, the mount Moriah where the temple was destroyed on two occasions; first by Babylon and second by Rome and each time on the exact same day, Av 9th. Av 9th on our calendar is in late July or early August. The Jews observe Av 9th every year and call it Tisha B’Av.  Question: could the third temple be destroyed also on the same day ?  There is a prophecy in Ezekiel 21:27  that is describing the three destructions of the  temple and that at the return of Christ GOD gives the true temple, the church his bride, to Christ, whose right it is.  Genesis 49:10 says basically the same thing. 

We must be watching world events as Jesus said, we should so that day does not come upon us unaware.  

Before the antichrist covenant is made there will be a false tribulation that leads to most of the world accepting Satans man of sin as a messiah like figure.  This man of sin, the antichrist, will restore peace and safety along with economic prosperity but only for a short time.  At the 1260 days, at the middle of the seven year covenant, antichrist will declare himself GOD.   This ends the period of a short lived false millennium and will begin the true great tribulation.  

So then, the elect saints are watching world events and are currently seeing a world in turmoil and chaos  that will will erupt into the false tribulation but the antichrist will remedy this situation by his seven year covenant with ten nations.  He will restore the world for a brief time called the false millennium lasting for about 3 years or so.  Then he breaks this seven year covenant by declaring himself GOD, ends the daily sacrifices at the third temple and begins the real great tribulation.  Luke 21:36

IN GOD WE TRUST

U.S. money has inscribed on it, “In God We Trust”.

Look at this nation or any other nation, do any of them really trust in GOD ?  Christians are to have absolute total trust, faith and allegiance to GOD alone and nothing else.  Is the government oppressing you where you live ?  What should a Christian do ?  Pray to GOD, trust and have faith in GOD to remedy the situation or go vote to remedy it?   Scripture says to place all your cares in GOD because HE cares for you.  Do human Satanically inspired governments care for you ?  Voting is having no faith or trust in GOD but rather in Satans government.  As a Christian you do not have the right to vote as you gave up all your rights when you became a Christian.  GODS kingdom is an absolute righteous monarchy of which Christians are a part of. GOD owns you, you no longer belong to anyone else, you are GODS property.  This is the agreement you made with GOD at conversion. You put HIS kingdom first, you rely on GOD for everything and no one else.  This is what faith is all about.  Voting denies the faith.  After all that GOD has done for you, then you, when tough times come, you run back into the darkness away from HIS light to cast your vote.  If you can’t see that this is betraying your faith, misplacing your trust and literally committing spiritual treason then you are truly blind.  Voting is a sin.  Does what I say here offend you?  Everything I have written here is the truth and you are offended by it?  Is it good to obey GOD rather than men ?  Voters obey men rather than GOD.  Look at all the perversions and abominations your government has made law. Look at how the elected rulers so often go against the will of those who elected them.  Look at the character of the politicians you vote for.  Where is the utopia they promised?  GOD promised utopia. Of these two who do you think can actually deliver that utopia?  As a Christian saint you are to in the future destroy the kingdoms and governments of this world so they can be replaced by the kingdom of GOD.  Doesn’t this sound ironic to you?  You vote in Satans government that you are to eventually destroy.  Is there any logic in that at all?  

REPENT AND RETURN TO THE LIGHT

 Adam was not deceived by Satans words to his wife Eve, 1 Timothy 2:14  Adam was before Eve and was told about the forbidden tree.  Genesis 2:16,17,21,22 

The knowledge of the forbidden tree was all the knowledge Adam had, he did not have the knowledge of good and evil and did not acquire it until he ate the forbidden fruit, and then the eyes of both Adam and Eve were opened and sin entered the world.  Genesis 3:7  It was then that Satan became the god of this world and that the human spirits of all people became defiled.  As in Adam all have sinned,  Romans 5:12  Psalm 51:5  Yes, while in the womb we are sinners.  Job 14:4  Isaiah 48:8  Psalm 58:3   Proverbs 22:15   Job 15:14,15,16  GOD has known the hearts of every human being before HE created any of them therefore HE would know the zygote in the womb and what it would become.

The earth became the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of Satan. It is this kingdom of Satan that the saints are called out of , and once they are out they are never to return.  If the saints participate in the government of Satan thinking that by doing so will have some positive effect they are deceived.  Will Satan change his plans because of your opinion?  Will you be able to persuade the world to come to Christ?  Will you make void the words of the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles who have all declared the world is evil and all the nations will be conquered by the return of Christ and be swallowed up by the kingdom of GOD?  Do you really think you can change this world, make it a better place?  Men love darkness and hate the light, men love the kingdom of Satan and hate the kingdom of GOD.  Ancient Israel under the judge and prophet Samuel also chose to reject GOD as Adam did and did not want GOD to be their king.  Israel got their kings but what happened to David’s throne upon which human beings sat ?  Psalm 89:38-45  GOD ended human kings and installed HIS son to be king, not only of Israel but of the world.  Jesus is the king of the kingdom of GOD , born to be king. John 18:37  Matthew 2:2  John 1:49  The church of the elect saints of GOD should never put any trust in or involved themselves in any way with the kingdom of Satan. James 4:7   Matthew 4:10  1 Peter 1:14,15,16  

Satan desires to get the saints as they are a special prize because he already has the world. Revelation 12:9 Satan knows who we are and what our weaknesses are and he will attack us using those weaknesses.  If Satan can get a saint to be a turncoat by seducing and enticing them with false light, false love, false hope, then he will do it.  If a saint falls for this they are in very serious danger.  There is nothing in Satans kingdom that the saints need, everything we need is in the kingdom of light, the kingdom of GOD.   Saints are to examine themselves, prove all things, test the spirits, remain faithful but re-entering the darkness thinking you will find light is a fool’s errand. How would doing this be seeking first the kingdom of GOD ?  Matthew 6:33  

To all the elect saints scattered to the four winds, if you are involved in any way with the kingdom of darkness you need to repent and return to the light.

Repentance is always available to GODS elect saints.  If you have sinned any sin, with the exception of the unpardonable sin, you can be forgiven.  Even GODS saints yet sin but there are sins that do not lead to death and those are the sins you repent of.  If any of GODS saints say they have no sin they are liars because as long as we are in the flesh we will sin.  This is why GOD gave us grace and repentance through Jesus.  Without this grace no one would ever be in the kingdom of GOD. 

MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT

I am adding this comment to this article because of a misunderstanding.  As I have often said, the truth will either offend you or set you free. I will not apologize for writing or speaking GODS truth.  Jesus offended many by speaking his FATHERS truth.  I would ask you, the readers, to believe this.  The information contained in this article is the truth.  Now, I can say that but I can’t give you the understanding of it as only GOD can do that.  If you have been offended just remember all the many other topics that I have written about and that perhaps you have been shown by GOD they are true.  Am I now your enemy because I have continued to do the same with this article or any other article?  I don’t write on a whim, I write after much study, meditation and prayer for GOD to guide what I write.  This particular article is something I have know about for over 30 years and the brethren I fellowship with are in agreement with me on this issue.  If anyone has felt offended I suggest you go to GOD and seek HIS will on this articles message.  If GOD wants you to know then you will know if HE does not then you will not.  There is light and there is darkness.  If you say you are in the light but walk in darkness then what ?  Light has no communion with darkness, none.  This is not, should not be, a difficult thing to understand for a Christian.  

There is a light that GOD sent into this world .

John 3:19

Yeshua was that light and in Yeshua was life and his life was the light of all mankind.

John 1:4

Sadly men loved the darkness rather than the light. 

This light shined in the darkness of this world but the world could not understand the light.

John 1:5

The world did not know the light and neither did his own people, but a precious few who did come to the light were given the right to become the children of GOD, to everyone who believed in the light, Yeshua.  Those who came would be born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh or of man but by the will of GOD.

John 1:10,11,12,13

The light here in these verses is a spiritual light. The light of YAHWEH and the light of HIS son. The chosen few are in and of this light.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 

The saints of YAHWEH were, in the past, in darkness, but now are in and of the light. We need to walk as children of light.

Ephesians 5:8   1 Peter 2:9   Colossians 1:13

Once brought into the light we are to have NOTHING to do with the unfruitful works of darkness. The works of darkness is everything done in darkness, everything done in this current evil world is darkness.

1 John 1:5,6,7  2 Corinthians 6:14    John 8:12

The prophets spoke of this light.

Isaiah 60:1,2,3  Isaiah 9:2  Proverbs 4:18  Micah 7:8

Isaiah 42:6,7   Malachi 4:2   Psalm 27:1

The light and the darkness cannot mix together as they are completely opposite of each other.

2 Corinthians 6:14   Ephesians 5:6,7,8,9,10,11 

1 John 1:5,6,7   1 Thessalonians 5:5   Romans 13:12

The message in this article is very simple and easy to understand for GODS saints.  Once we have been called and chosen, brought into the light, we should never involve ourselves in ANY of the things of darkness.  What darkness does we do not.  This is in all of darkness as everything that is in darkness is not the light.  The saints are in a world of darkness but shine as lights in it,  Philippians 2:15  1 John 1:6   John 8:12   Ephesians 5:11  

YAHWEH is light and in HIM is no darkness at all.

1 John 1:5 

GOD has a kingdom of light and Satan has a kingdom of darkness. The world is the kingdom of darkness and we saints yet live physically in it but spiritually we are in and of the light, the light of the kingdom of GOD.  There is absolutely nothing in the kingdom of darkness that we have anything to do with just as Jesus said, John 14:30  All the Apostles warned the saints to have nothing to do with the world, the darkness, Satans kingdom.  Satan wants to entice the saints to step across the line, to tempt them to enter his darkness.  Satan, in your thoughts, will use something in his darkness to allure you, to draw you in deeper.   Satan will use anything against you. Satan counterfeits the things of GOD, appearing as an angel of light when he is the thickest darkness, he devises a dark love that impersonates GODS love, just as Satan deceived Eve into thinking she could be like GOD without GOD.  

The world has not changed, it is even worse than before as we approach the final stages of the death of darkness and the birth of light.  Romans 8:18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25  

Darkness is EVERYTHING that is in this world.  Whatever the children of darkness do we should not do. 2 Corinthians 6:17   Do be suckered in by some imitation of the light.  As a child of light we must know the difference between darkness and light, good and evil, sweet and bitter.  Isaiah 5:20,21  Matthew 6:23   1 John 2:9,10,11  

This message about light and darkness was written by me to illustrate that participation in the world of darkness is not for a child of light.  While I will address a single point here there are many other things that apply as well. Pulling no punches is and has been my method of sharing GODS truth with HIS elect.  With the following statement I am going to use my spiritual sledgehammer and hit you right between the eyes, ready ? 

VOTING IS AN ENTICEMENT BY SATAN TO GET YOU TO RE-ENTER THE DARKNESS THAT CHRIST SAVED YOU FROM, THAT YAHWEH CALLED YOU OUT OF.   SATAN WANTS TO TRICK YOU INTO THINKING THAT IN ALL HIS DARKNESS THERE IS LIGHT. SATAN WANTS YOU TO THINK THERE IS HOPE IN A VOTE WHEN A VOTE HAS NO HOPE.  YOUR HOPE IS TO BE ONLY IN YAHWEH AND CHRIST.   IF ANY SAINT HAS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM THEY SHOULD NOT LOOK TO DARKNESS FOR AN ANSWER, 1 Peter 5:7 

My motivation is brotherly love,  2 Corinthians 1:3,4   Philippians 4:6,7  Psalm 55:22  Psalm 37:5  Hebrews 13:5,6   Isaiah 41:10  Proverbs 3:5,6 

 IN THE WORLD IS DARKNESS, COMPLETE AND TOTAL DARKNESS AND THE ONLY HOPE ANYONE HAS IS TO COME TO THE LIGHT OF YAHWEH AND CHRIST, ONCE YOU PLACE YOUR HAND ON THAT PLOW YOU SHOULD NEVER LOOK BACK , Luke 9:62 ,  THAT MEANS ONCE YOUR IN THE LIGHT STAY IN THE LIGHT FLEE THE DARKNESS.  EVERYTHING DONE IN THE DARKNESS IS DARK THERE IS NO LIGHT AT ALL.  IN YAHWEH AND CHRIST THERE IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL.  I IMPLORE YOU ALL, WALK IN THE LIGHT.  Ephesians 4:17,18 

My motivation is brotherly love, 2 Corinthians 1:3,4,

 Please understand my use of the sledgehammer.  It is not meant to be offensive, it is meant to be an alarm to wake those who may be slumbering or the babe in Christ that needs encouragement.   If I did not not love you I would be like the last 5 words spoken by Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind, “I don’t give a damn.”  Dei amor simper est, and with me too. 

JOHN 17:15 2 Thessalonians 3:3 2 Timothy 4:18 Psalm 97:10 THE EVIL ONE AND HIS GOVERNMENTS

 True freedom in this world is a mirage.  People think in nations that have elected politicians that their governments give them freedom.  2 Peter 2:19 Christians are physically in the world but spiritually are not to be part of the world.  This is a great challenge.  Christians must be able to determine what is of the world and what is of GODS spirit.  Well, the spiritual part must endeavor to live among the world being wise as serpents but harmless as doves.  We are to examine the fruit of the world to determine our involvement in what the world does.  If it bears no fruit to GOD then we do not become involved.  Our challenge is to be in the world but not of the world.  This can at times become difficult to discern.  

Consider the words of the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles and what they have had to say about this. It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s but render unto GOD the things that are GODS.  If our steps are to be ordered by GOD then it is imperative that we know what things to render to HIM and what things to render to Caesar.  In scripture this is not always crystal clear.  It will sometimes involve a more diligent search to find answers to this.  

GOD has in eternity known all things. HE has know who will be kings, emperors, dictators or presidents.  HE has known that all forms of human government are evil because all , each in their own turn, have failed.  It is that even if a decent government rises it will in time fall.  Even in Israel the kings all had their personal failings.  The problem with human government is humans. 

 Prophecy has said that all human governments will end and be replaced by GODS government.  Seek you FIRST the kingdom of GOD, not the kingdoms of men.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  GODS will is not being done on the earth until HIS kingdom comes.  So then,  this means that all earthly governments are against GODS will.  GODS saints are caught in a quandary of sorts concerning their involvement in which government, GODS or human.  Is it wise to be involved in both?  As a Christian we are citizens of heaven, we are to seek GODS kingdom, we are to view ourselves as ambassadors to the nation we live in not citizens of them.  As much as it depends on us we are to live in peace with all men.  We are to love with the love of GOD.  Agape fulfills any law, GODS or human.  We obey the law of the nation we are in because this is rendering to Caesar what is Caesars. What then is rendered to GOD ?  It is that we place GOD over Caesar in all things even if it breaks Caesars law. Yes, just like Christ and the Apostles, we obey GOD rather than men.  It is part of taking up our own cross, it is suffering with Christ.  It is better to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.  1 Peter 3:17  We take this injustice , 1 Peter 3:13,14   2 Timothy 3:12  John 15:18,20  1 Peter 4:12,13,14   Philippians 1:29,30  Romans 8:17   Therefore it is irrelevant what human laws are if Christians fulfill all law with agape.  Human government does not care about agape and will unjustly punish the one who practices agape, so be it, we suffer with Christ. 

 Homosexuals order a cake for their wedding but the baker is a Christian and refuses to bake the cake.  The homosexuals take the baker to court and win a monetary settlement for $10,000. , is this good government?  There are many examples of how evil human government can be.  Electing political leaders is an exercise in futility as they ignore the will of the people and support causes that are evil.  This idea that Christians should participate in human government is something the Lord, Lord people do in Christs name but Christ will reject them. 

 Is Jesus a republican or democrat?  If he were on earth today would he vote for Trump or Harris?  These questions are so easy to answer, Christ would have nothing to do with any of it.  Christians are to be like Christ, have the mind of Christ.  Christ was not of this world, not of this creation, and Christians are to be like him.  Ancient Israel rejected GOD and wanted a human king, today people reject GOD and want a human president.  Is Trump your GOD, your messiah?  Is Trumps promised golden age your kingdom come ?

 2 Timothy 2:3,4,5,6  The saints are enlisted in GODS army and are not concerned with the affairs of the world, of this life, civilian life.  If the saints have been called out of this world they are spiritual not carnal.  The human governments of this world are carnal.  When we know this we no longer take part in them .  Luke 9:62  Romans 12:2   The Christian mind is not to be on things of this earth but on things from above. Colossians 3:1,2   Romans 8:5,6  Philippians 3:19,20   2 Corinthians 4:18   1 John 2:15,16,17   Romans 12:2   Philippians 4:8   James 4:4   To make a judgment about voting, sometimes it is also helpful to step back and look at the big picture. Let's consider the fruits of the American political process. After all, Jesus instructed us to judge things by their fruits Matthew 7:16,17,18,19,20

The longer one observes the political process in the United States (and other countries), the easier it is to determine its fruit. These political races with their campaigns and debates do not create national unity. Instead, candidates routinely make cutting accusations against their opponents. Elections seem to be open seasons for character assassination and incitement to anger. Each side believes it has the logical position and that the other side's platform is detrimental to the country.

And sadly, even after an election this anger doesn't seem to disappear; it just subsides until it is brought back to full intensity for the next election. Political elections do not unite, they divide.

As good as the American system is in comparison to other forms of governance, we have to remember that because it is of the people, it is still subject to all human weaknesses. American politics does not produce peace and feelings of harmony among all. Rather, it is an ongoing fight for values and the opportunity to shape laws and society as the victors please. The fruits of political voting—and every other form of human governance—are not good and that is why the Kingdom of God must come to this earth to replace all of man's governments.  

Below are some reasons that Christians should not become involved in politics.

1. The political world is openly antagonistic to Christian principles and is riddled with humanist thinking.

2. There are no Scriptures to indicate that the Christian should attempt to influence things for good through political processes and activities.

3. There is danger when Christians aspire to positions of power in the world because they expose themselves to the world’s corruption, its thinking, and its sin (see 2 Tim 2.4).

4. The New Testament does not advocate engagement in politics, social movements or schemes for reform, even though the conditions at the time were generally appalling. The early church concerned itself with the inward change which only the gospel by GODS love could produce, and with regulating the lives of those who became Christians.

5. Slavery was a scourge in New Testament times but none of the believers were instructed to campaign against it or try to remove it. This does not of course mean that Christians should promote its continuation. Galatians 3:28

6. Certain Scriptures give us a powerful reason not to engage in politics. Philippians 3.20 states, "For our conversation (citizenship, politics, enfranchisement, rights) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ". This verse teaches that we have a heavenly citizenship. We are strangers in the world, left here to represent the One that the world crucified. Philippians 1.27 states, "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that...I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit". Our affairs are the affairs of the heavenly city. We are not to get entangled with "the affairs of this life".

7. Scripture tells us we are ambassadors in this world. A well-behaved ambassador does not interfere in the politics of the country in which he is only a temporary resident. As "ambassadors for Christ" (2 Cor 5.20; cp. Eph 6.20) it is not right for us to devote to earthly politics that time and effort which could be spent in the service of GOD.

8. The main tenet of modern political systems is the democratic principle. The essence of democracy is rejection of any notion of absolute truth or higher authority and rejection of absolute moral values through acceptance of the rightness of whatever the majority think. Majority rule is anti-scriptural.

9. Paul claimed the legal protection of his Roman citizenship but never participated politically nor taught Christians to do so (Acts 22.25-29).  Paul invoked his Roman citizenship in order to get to Rome to preach the gospel.

10. We do not know God’s purposes and timetable for the nation; therefore we could not know how to vote according to His purposes.  We do know that GODS purpose is to end human government and replace it with HIS kingdom.

11. The Lord’s words in John 18:36 imply the need for a separation from political actions and processes. Jesus abstained from political activity. When He was here He was aware of society’s injustices (Lk 13.1-3) and of the "undesirables" in authority (Mt 22.16-21). Jesus's teaching does impact on social problems, like slavery, but that was not His primary message. The example which the Lord set for His disciples was one of meekness, humility and obedience to the powers that be so that we could live quiet and peaceable lives.

Christians are not directed to improve the world but to proclaim the gospel that condemns it and offers salvation from it. Financial contributions to political parties, participation in election campaigns, running for political office and voting are all activities which constitute an unequal yoke with unbelievers.

Non participation in the political process should be seen as a positive stance. To act differently from the world is a testimony against the world.

Conclusion

 Engagement in the political process in any form is contrary to the spirit of Scripture. It is inconsistent with the Christian’s position and spiritual priorities. Christians can make positive statements about their faith as much by what they abstain from and how they live. Abstention is a positive step, not an abdication of responsibility. The specific teaching that Christians should not voluntarily vote is based on sound Biblical principles. It is a statement that we are separate from a world system which is opposed to God. Our chief influence in the world is to be through prayer, not the ballot box.

I understand why the carnal people of this world would want to be involved in human government, the question of a Christian being involved must be answered by each Christian.  

Doubt - Satans ministers - GODS elect - the true church - totally deceived false Christianity

 Scripture says without faith it is “impossible” to please GOD. Hebrews 11:6  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Hebrews 11:6  GOD wants us to believe HIM when there is no physical evidence to prove that what HE says is the truth.  GOD does provide spiritual evidence by the presence of HIS spirit in HIS people  that HIS word is truth. This demonstrates the difference between being carnally minded or spiritually minded.  Romans 8:6   Doubt is not of faith, doubt is indicative of a carnal mind.  Doubt is the enemy of faith.  Inspiration by the spirit of GOD is how  Christians learn from GOD.  John 6:45  Christians are literally taught of GOD, and through Jesus Christ, the mediator.  If we would rely upon men for this then deception awaits and it will come.  Every deception known is from Satanically inspired men.  These men of the devil masquerade as ministers of righteousness.  2 Corinthians 11:12,13,14  When we honestly examine all of professing Christianity we should see that all of it is a satanic deception spread by ministers of Satan.  When I say all I mean all.  Every church on this Earth, of this world , is of Satan and through them Satan has deceived the entire false Christian world.  Revelation 12:9 

The true church of GOD is basically hidden from the world, scattered to the four winds, spiritually not of this world, taught by GOD through Christ by the power of GODS HOLY SPIRIT.  There are many scriptures that prove this but for now only to the saints and the world will not accept these things.  All of professing Christianity is blinded by Satan from the truth and they pay Satans ministers to lie to them.  Satan is the master of lies and his method is to mix truth with lies to make his deceptions more believable in what Paul called the minds of the simple.  Romans 16:18   In spiritual reality all are following a deceived unconverted man and elevate him to a position in their churches as a great man of GOD when in fact he is of Satan.  Whoever believes and follows men like this worships the man, believes the man and follows the man and not Jesus.  Whoever you render yourself a servant to obey, your Satanic minister, then that is who you become a slave to. Romans 6:16  All these false Christians are actually worshipping a man, a minister or pastor.   They highly esteem these men but GOD calls them an abomination. Luke 16:15   John 5:41,42,43,44   The people in these churches are trapped in deception and the only way out is if GOD wants to at this time call and choose you to be one of HIS elect saints.  A person must come out when GOD calls but many refuse to, only a few answer the call and are chosen.  2 Corinthians 6:17   Matthew 22:14    

In the book of Revelation there is mentioned a group of people called the elect of GOD.  The number of these elect is 144000 . The Israel they are of is spiritual Israel not carnal Israel.  These same people are also called the first fruits, the redeemed of the Earth.  This is describing that one true church that people cannot see, that little flock scattered to the four winds.  This cannot be carnal Israel as they are blinded until Christ returns, until the number of Gentiles are added to the church.  Romans 11:25  Colossians 1:26,27  Ephesians 3:2,3,4,5,6   Carnal Israel was the election under the law, the church is the election under grace.  Romans 11:5   Romans 9:27  Isaiah 10:22,23  

People who are false Christians would be highly offended if you told them they are unconverted and don’t have the Holy Spirit and highly offended if you told them their pastor was a satanic minister.  It would be true but they would never believe it let alone even consider it.  They would instead say that you are of the Devil and make all kinds of false accusations against you.  In spiritual reality all the false churches and ministers make their flocks two fold more a child of the Devil than they were before they joined them.  

2 Thessalonians 2:11  needs clarification.

Strongs Concordance #G3992  the word “send” can mean, “permit to go” , since it is impossible for GOD to lie ,  Hebrews 6:18  or deceive people this verse is saying that GOD permits Satan to be the liar and author of deception. 2 Thessalonians 2:11   The word “delusion” is Strongs #G4106 meaning “a wandering” that leads astray by the influence of deceiving spirits.  GOD does not cause the delusion but “permits” it and allows Satan to cause a wandering away, roaming into sin.  1 Timothy 4:1   This is currently in progress and has been since Eden.  Matthew 24:10,11,12   2 Peter 2:1  1 John 2:18,19   2 Timothy 3:1,2,3,4,5   2 Timothy 4:3,4   Acts 20:29,30  and many more scriptures warn about this delusion.  It is all around us, it is all the false churches with their false ministers.  

The seeds of doubt sown by Satan and his false ministers have produced all the modern day false churches of deception.  GOD has provided a way out of this situation but if you don’t believe the situation exists then you will remain in it. The vast majority of people will embrace the lie they are in, only a extremely small number will understand.
