You WISH!
I'll tell you this. It ain't going to go away and it ain't gonna get any better!
You can either deal with it now, maybe when there is some little time left, or you can deal with it when it starts raining. But believe, it's always better to deal with it as early as possible.
Therefore, guess what?
The walls were already rebuilt by the time Nehemiah came along in the 20th of Artaxerxes. Does that mean anything to you? (Ezra 4:11,12).
Do you remember when Nehemiah assigned people to repair the wall "in front of their own house"? Ever think about that? Nahhhh. What did tha mean? That they had houses on the ground along the path of the broken down wall and they built a double-wall section in front of their house? All in fifty-two days?
Are you awake? Are you paying attention?
Guess what? The wall was already rebuilt and the houses he was talking about were ON TOP of the wall. All they did in 52 days was put the decorative stones that were decorating the outside of the walls back up again. So when he said to repair the wall "in front of your own house" it meant the wall BELOW their house on top of the wall!
Now the Society can't tell you that since they need Nehemiah to fulfill a prophecy that has to begin with the rebuilding of Jerusalem. But it doesn't work if Jerusalem is already rebuilt!
Bottom line is that Cyrus fulfills the 70 weeks prophecy and the only reason Nehemiah came up was because the Seleucids revised their chronology and changed all the records, adding 82 years to ancient history. And that revised history is what YOU think is true history! It's a joke!
So you just keep not paying attention. But you'll have to deal with this now or you'll have to deal with it later. Better deal with it now.
Once you figure out you've been totally deceived, then you won't be so smug in rejecting the truth and the light you can't see because it is too bright. You can't see because your eyes are closed.
Sure, this is basically bad news since everybody has to now get directly involved with the Bible and what they believe in. But it's the only way.
Question is, how long will you maintain belief in false and erroneous teachings before you wake up? Better make sure you know what you're talking about before you make a judgment call if I were you.
Remember, even out of ten virgins, five of them didn't have the intensity of love for truth to get it together in time either. It's the intensely focused on spiritual things that get into the kingdom. If you're taking this casually, then you will be casually left behind.
Better wake up NOW...
All you have is your life. Don't go down as a "company man" -- Live! Live for what God intended for you. Remember, to be loyal to God is a selfish way of being totally loyal to yourself. No manly organization should be between you and God.
Remember the lesson of the wise virgins. When the foolish virgins asked for oil, what did the wise virgins say? "They said, no way baby! Sorry sista! I barely have enough for myself as it is! And I ain't missing this wedding! You go buy some oil from someone who sells it. This oil is for me!"
How selfish....huh?
That's RIGHT!
You've got to be SELFISH! Satan wants you to think about the "loyalty to the Faithful Slave" the wonderful organization.
No! Not when it interferes with your loyalty to Jehovah and that means loyalty to YOURSELF.
YOU are responsible to save your own life! That's your primary responsibility. You should muster everything you have to do that for yourself! Don't let some company loyalty cause you to miss out.
Isn't it wonderful that when you choose to be absolutely selfish for yourself, to save your own neck, it's the same as being loyal to God!
That's why it is said, if you love mother or father or brother or sister more than God, then you can't get in. That's because they all have responsibility to save their own lives. You can't save them. But you can save YOU!
So FOCUS! Think about yourself. And think about pleasant God and not an organization which has now been abandoned. It has! Look at the false teachings! This is the time to make the spiritual break. This is the critical moment to wake up. This is the critical moment to get off that BROAD ROAD!
You'd better make sure....before you so quickly dismiss the light in front of you.
Cheers,
