The Chosen ones are at spiritual warfare within this world (2Cor.10:3,4,5; 6:7; Matt.5:14,16; Phil.2:15). That world under Satan's dominion (1John5:19), includes all anointed who have left the truth of Christ, and are ignoring the scripture's warnings (1John2:15; Rom.12:2; James1:27; 4:4). Yes, we certainly can "fall" (2Pet.3:17; Rev.6:13; Rev.12:4) and pollute the waters of truth (John7:38) coming from us (Rev.8:10,11).
This battle between Truth and Lies, waged by the faithful and unfaithful anointed, between the "seed"/messengers/angels, of the "woman" (Gal.4:26; Rev.12:1), and the "seed" of Satan (John8:44; 2Thess.2:3; Rev.9:11; 13:1,4; Gen3:15)
is the essence of Armageddon (Rev.16:16,15).
The lies being spewed by Satan's mouth (Rev.12:15; 16:13,14) and his agents (2Cor.11:13-15; Rev.13:11; 16:13; 1Tim.4:1; 2Thess.2:9,10,11) cause this "gathering" of the "kings of the earth" (Rev.1:5; 5:9-10) (Link:Who-are-kings-of-earth?) to this battle (2Tim.4:1; Matt.24:10,12; Rev.20:7-8; 17:12,14; 19:11,14,8; 6:11; 20:).
The unfaithful promote lies to retain their worldly advantage (1Cor.4:8,9,10,11,12,13,14; Rev.3:17; Matt.4:8; 2Thess.2:9-10).
The faithful promote truth to set the meek free from those lies (2Tim.4:2; 1Tim.4:16; Eze.3:19; 1Cor.1:21) (Dan.12:4,10; Rev.20:12).
This results in a battle of words/doctrines. (Matt.12:36,37; Rev.12:7)
The faithful Chosen ones are central to Satan's defeat, and the scriptures tell us by what means they conquer him (John14:30; 16:33; Rev.2:7,26; 3:21; 12:7,10-11; Eph.6:12; Rom.16:20)
This is why it is so important that we "keep testing" that we have the one faith (2Cor.13:5; Eph.4:5,20,21; 1John2:4; John15:4)
of Truth (John14:6).
The Chosen have many things in common, especially if we are among those who are continuing to prove faithful (Matt.24:13; 10:22; Luke21:19).
The tribulations of the faithful (John16:21,22,33; 1Pet.1:6,7) are universal among them, and the book of Job outlines that path.
May our Father continue to bless the gathering of the body of Christ,
and all those longing for it.

I want to read about the fall of the anointed, the wheat. Let's read Matthew 24:3 let us read Matthew 13:39. The question is then, is the conclusion of the system of things after the great tribulation?
ReplyDeleteI believe you will find your answer at this blog:

The "wheat" is not the fallen anointed at the time of harvest. The fallen anointed are the "weeds".
The tribulation segregates the two groups from each other, so that Mal.3:18 becomes fulfilled.
Christ harvests the wheat into his "storehouse" at Rev.14:14,15,16 when the "wheat" is "ready"/"ripe".
The "unripe" are rejected, though "wheat"; and the "weeds" are left behind. This corresponds to the "foolish" virgins,
of Matt.25:10,11,12,13.
As the Jews were each born as sons of Abraham;
but due to their cultivating a wrong heart condition,
they became sons of the wicked one (John8:44).
Chosen ones must "endure to the end" in order to obtain their reward (Matt.24:13; Rev.3:11; Col.2:8; Matt.24:4; Eph.5:6; Rev.13:11,7). If they are overtaken by Satanic deception (Rev.16:13,14,15,16; 1Tim.4:1; John12:35; Rev.12:15), they will fail to reach the maturity of Christ (Luke8:11,12; Eph.4:13).
When the "fire" of the Great test is burning, each one's work will be shown up for what it is....
refined gold...or chaff. (1Cor.3:13; 2Pet.3:7,10)
Thank you!. Ezekiel 38-39 is the same event so Revelation 20:7-10. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYes, these scriptures complement each other. Such parallel scriptures define the meaning of Revelation's symbols and identities.
DeleteYet even among the anointed, these "birds" and "wild animals" are viewed as anointed ones partaking of the marriage feast.
When these "hated birds" and "WILD animals" ((Eze.39:4; Rev.19:17,18,21; 18:2)......
"eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls"
"At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord."
...this is not the wedding feast where the "eagles" gather to the "carcass".
Even though this may seem to be, there is an antithesis to every event and identity.
...There is a good fulfillment and a bad one.
You may note that this feast upon the wicked, takes place on the "mountains of Israel".
These mountains ARE the faithful chosen (Eze.36:8; Isa.49:11,12,13; Ps.72:3; Joel3:18), not the hated birds and wild animals who gorge themselves upon the wicked, due to these wicked being exposed by revealed truth.
If you note in Rev.20:12, the truth is revealed about the wickedness of earthly religious leaders (2Pet.3:10,7; Rev.13:4; 2Thess.2:3,8) by means of "fire" (Eze.38:19,22; 2Pet.3:10,12; Rev.20:9,10) which is the symbol for God's judgments of Truth (Heb.12:29; Isa.33:14; 66:15; 10:17; Jer.23:29; 5:14) delivered by means of his prophets (2Thess.1:7; Rev.11:5; Jer.5:14).
Who then, are these birds and wild beasts, who will enjoy a feast when the wicked deeds of the powerful are exposed?
Just take a look on all the forums which tear apart every fault of the "watchtower" and it's leadership,
it's policies, and it's "shepherds". These "birds" and "wild animals" may feel righteous while they attack the wicked, but this does not mean that they themselves are free of Satan's deceptive power.
Though they are ever ready to condemn, they too fall with Babylon the Great ("Babylon" means "confusion").
They are still unreleased from Babylon's captivity of religious deception and doctrinal confusion.
This is not the marriage feast of sacred secrets, meant for the faithful virgins...
though it is understandable why they get mixed up.
