" Love your Enemies "

"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matt.5:43-48)

"Be blessing those who persecute you; bless and do not profess a loathing for them." (Rom.12:14)

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be the sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and the evil." (Luke 6:35)

Who are our enemies?

They are those who hate us (Luke1:71; 6:27) (symbolic-death)...
those who intimidate, oppose, mislead, and threaten us, into subjection to them (Luke 1:74; Rev.13:15,7; 2Thess.2:3-4; 1Cor.3:16; Eze.44:6-9; Matt.24:15-16) 
LINKS:(dsgstg-thing) (obey-men?) (mark-of-slavery) (who-are-gods?)

They oppress, restrain/"hold back", tear down, and seek to destroy our power, and our service to God (2Thess.2:6,8; Hab.1:4; Luke 19:43; 21:24,20; Rev.20:9; Matt.24:24-25; 1John2:26; 3:7; 1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13-16; 13:11,15; 2:20; 19:20) (Dan.7:25; 8:11-12; 11:36; 12:7; Rev.13:7,10). They successfully bring about the greatest tribulation ever to befall God's chosen people (G.T.-why?).
Those who oppose, set their minds on the "earthly" things of this world (Col.3:2; James 3:15-16; 1John 2:15-16; James 4:4; Eph.2:2; 6:12; 2Cor.12:20; Rom.2:8; Mark 10:42-44; James 1:27; Matt.6:19; Luke 12:19-20; Rev.3:17-18; 1Cor.4:6-8,9-14; Mark 4:18-19). 
A disposition of greed overwhelms them, and they lose their spiritual senses, evidenced by their vile conduct (2Pet.2:3; Phil.3:18-19; Isa.56:11; Jer.6:13; Hosea 4:8; Micah 7:3; James 3:16; Hab.2:4; Ps.49:12-14; Eph.4:19-20).
They fight against the divine authority and power, which we fear and honor (2Cor.5:11; Luke19:27; Rev.17:14) (grieving-spirit). This is because they are backed by our greatest enemy, the Devil (1Pet.5:8; Eph.2:2; Rev.13:4; Prov.15:27; Matt.4:8-9; Rev.9:1,11; Isa.33:1) (Matt.13:25,39).

How should we react to the unfaithful?
We should admonish the elect among us (Eph.4:25; Gal.6:1-3; Amos 5:14; Jude 1:23; Zech.3:2,8; 1Tim.5:20) who have turned aside from the way of Christ (Acts 26:18; Col.2:19; John 15:4-5; 1John5:16), and have fallen prey to Satan's temptations (Matt.4:8-9; Rev.13:4; 17:3). If they refuse to "listen" (Gal.4:16; Acts 13:10; John 3:20; Heb.6:5-6; 10:26) and turn around and rip us open Matt.7:6; 2Pet.2:21; John 13:34; 1John3:12,15; 4:20; Matt.10:21; Jer.9:4-5), 
...then we expose their falsehoods... 
               [Prov.28:4; Isa.58:1; Num.10:9; Isa.48:2,14; (Rev.17:16-17); 

                Micah 3:8-11; Jer.23:17; 7:4; 5:12; 1Thess.5:3; 

                Eze.13:10; Amos 9:10; Eph.5:6; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24]
               [Rev.2:15-16,12; 19:15,14; Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17; 2Thess.2:8
            *Hosea 7:16; 
               ("Egypt" and "Sodom" exist today- Rev.11:3,8. 

                The ridicule the "two witnesses" endure "on the 

                broadway of the Great City", 

                        (at the hand of the harlot -Isa.66:5), 

                will come back upon her Rev.18:6; *Hosea 7:16);       
                Jer.23:14; Deut.32:32-33; Rev.13:11] 
                [Eph.5:11-13; Luke10:19], 
...and try to counteract their inebriating effect (Rev.18:3; Jer.51:7; 1Pet.1:13; 4:7; 5:8; 1Thess.5:6; Titus 2:12), by declaring obedience to Christ (2Cor.10:3-5; Rev.17:14; 19:11,14,8) and the word of God (Jer.23:29; Ps.2:9; Rev.2:26-27; Jer.5:14NIV ; Rev.11:5; 20:9) ("Fire from Heaven").

God's Word also admonishes us to love our enemy. 
We are to imitate Him in this (Eph.5:1; Phil.2:15)...
  "He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matt.5:45) The "sun" and "rain" are God's judgments and teachings (Hosea 6:5; Deut.32:2), which we freely offer to sinners (2Cor.2:17; Prov.3:27; Gal.6:10; 2Tim.3:16-17).
Love includes discipline, when needed (Heb.12:5-6; Rev.3:19; Jer.35:15; 25:4-5; 26:5-6,13; 18:11; 17:23; Jer.5:14NIV Rev.11:5; 20:9)(fire-from-heaven).
Although God's words of discipline may seem painful, those who choose to heed it (Job 5:17-18; Prov.27:6; 28:23; 3:11) will be blessed (Eze.18:30-31; 33:11; Isa.59:20; Acts 3:19; Heb.12:11; Ps.94:12; 141:5).

Genuine Christians today, also have enemies (2Tim.3:12; Matt.10:36; Mark 13:13; 1Cor.15:24; John 16:2). Foremost, are those who have a large amount of followers (Matt.24:4-5; 2Thess.2:9-12; Rev.20:8; Matt.7:13-14; Rev.13:11,8,14-15; 19:20; 16:13-14; 1Tim.4:1).
The core of the Wicked Steward/Harlot/"False Prophet's" sins (in God's estimation), are what I have been called by Yhwh's Spirit, to reveal (Dan.12:4,9-10; Rev.20:12; 1:19; 22:10,6-7; Hab.2:2; Rev.10:7). 
Those sins include:
 resisting Holy Spirit, by suppressing, taking captive, restraining, and oppressing, the anointed body of Christ; 
 the Harlot's fornication with Satan himself -- in order to gain dominion, power, and the sorcery of deception; and her murder of Christ's brothers.

God's own anointed priests have been overcome by this. the greatest of all, tribulations (G.T.-why?), 
as the false prophet decrees that all must worship the image of the Beast (WT Org.) under threat of "death" (Rev.13:15)(symbolic-death),  carried out by the collective Beast (Rev.11:7)... which is the power upon which the harlot/false prophet/wicked steward, sits enthroned (Rev.17:3).

 The present wicked steward is drawing dark deception up from the abyss of death, to feed her peoples with bitter wormwood waters 
    (Rev.8:10-11; 9:1,11; 17:1,15; Prov.7:26-27; 5:5,3-4; Rev.10:10-11; Eze.3:3-4; Zech.5:1,4,7-8,10-11; Rev.17:3; 2Thess.2:9) 

(fallen-star) (locust-scorpions-Abaddon) (who-has-key-to-abyss?),  
   and the sting of sin and death through her "locust-scorpion" minions 
(Rev.9:3,10; Eze.2:6; 1Cor.15:56; Luke 10:19). 
They have rejected God's message through His prophets, and blasphemed God's spirit, which His prophets' express (Rev.11:3; Jer.26:5-6; John 16:13; Amos 3:7; Rev.22:6; 1Cor.14:32; 2Pet.1:21; Matt.10:20; Mark 3:29; Rev.18:4). 

(prophecy-cease?) (sin-against-spirit) (grieving-holy-spirit)

Does this mean, that I hate the Harlot and her beast?

When it comes to vengeance upon the Harlot, I leave that in God's hands (Rev.6:9-11; 19:1-2). He will repay (Rom.12:19; Deut.32:35,4; 1Pet.2:23; 4:19). He is perfect justice, and the only source of it. 
Holy Spirit has directly instructed me in what I must do. My job is to declare how God sees things, and not to get involved in what the wicked are planning and what they will do to avenge themselves (Ps.1:1)... even though the imminent attack of the "ten kings" and "Beast" upon the Harlot, is according to the will of God 
(Mal.2:8-9; 1Pet.2:8; Rev.17:16-17) (Mark 9:42; Rev.18:21). 
  Though they do God's will when attacking the wicked steward/Harlot, they are still conspiring against God, His Kingdom, and His genuine heirs (Ps.83:5; 2:1-6). Like the previous harlot, the "ten kings" (kings-of-earth?) seek alliance with the Beast/"disgusting thing"/counterfeit Temple and "kingdom" of impostors (2Tim.3:1,5,7,13; 2Cor.11:15). They must reap what they have sown (2Cor.5:10). 

If we forgive others of their debts toward us, we will be forgiven (Matt.6:14; 5:7; 18:35). 
I have tasted and swallowed the power of demonic deception, as I myself was also deceived. So I know that what they do, is largely due to blindness (Luke 23:34).
I just don't feel that it's my place to condemn or conspire (Jude 1:9; 1John 1:8-10; Rom.3:23; John 8:7), other than obeying God's direction and conveying His condemnation (John 12:48; 13:20). 
What I speak is sourced with visions of God, and not from me (Num.12:6; 2Pet.1:21; Matt.10:20).
(Acts 4:19-20)

I remember how angry Jonah was when God forgave Nineveh (Jonah 4:1,3). He forgot that his message of condemnation to Nineveh, was God's, and not his own (Jonah 1:2-3; 3:2,4). The people he condemned didn't know their left hand from right (Jonah 4:11). Satan is using such ignorance today (Isa.44:20), to give support to the murderous beast (Rev.13:8). The Beast is followed with admiration, rather than being seen for the blasphemy it represents (Rev.13:3 c; Rev.13:1 e; Rev.13:5-6). If we think about what Jesus said about the goats being on his left hand and the sheep on his right hand (Matt.25:33); Do we clearly distinguish the goats on Christ's left, and the sheep on his right?
Think about how that the same ignorance is rampant today, according to these scriptures....
(Isa.5:20; Matt.7:15; 24:24; Prov.17:15) 
When "wolves" are dressed in sheep's covering, those who do not have discernment, think they are sheep. They think the genuine sheep of Christ, are wolves/goats/apostates. Yet the distinction between goats and sheep, has now begun to be revealed (Luke 8:17).
(Mal.3:18; Rom.8:19; John 16:13,8) (2Thess.2:3,8; 2Pet.3:10; 1Cor.3:13; Nahum 3:4-6; Eze.16:37; Hab.2:16; Jer.25:28-29; Isa.28:17-21; Acts 13:41).
  Like God, Jonah should have had compassion on a city full of repentant humans and their animals (Jonah 4:11), and prayed to God on their behalf, for mercy (Matt.5:7; James 2:13; Hosea 6:5-6). 

We do this, even though our enemy displays no mercy toward us  (1Pet.3:9; Prov.20:22)
Since the "harlot's" "Beast" killed us for our faithful testimony to truth, robbed us of our divine inheritance/priesthood, and even our literal and spiritual children (Rev.9:7; Jer.6:23; 2Kings8:12) (pregnant/nursing-mothers) (Eze.36:12), there continues to be no mercy. They build their city on bloodshed, the blood of the innocent and powerless 
(Hab.2:12; Nahum 3:1; Prov.6:16-17; Jer.2:34-35; Rev.18:7,24; 16:6; 17:6; Jer.51:49). 
In fear for them, I pray for them (Luke 21:26; 6:28; 1Thess.5:15; 1Pet.2:21-23).

I must reveal who the harlot is (as well as her sins), but it is not my place to scorn, conspire against, or rip her apart (1Cor.13:2) as the "hated birds", "ten kings" and "Beast" are now going to do. We know that the prophecies about the collective harlot and beast will surely come to pass, but there is still hope for the individual members within, if they get out (2Cor.6:16-18; Rev.18:4; Isa.52:11; Jer.51:6,9; Rev.18:5).
 When I confront the GB in a letter that I am sure they will receive, I will do it directly and personally, just as commanded (Luke17:3-4; Lev.19:18; 2Tim.2:24-26), even though the governing body did not obey those words, when I myself was "beaten" and expelled by their decree (Matt.18:15; 5:23-24), through their Beast.
As was done by God for Christ; those who remain the enemies of the faithful, are to be made as a stool for their feet 
(Matt.22:44; Mark 16:19; Rev.3:21; 2:26-27; 3:9).
(Ps.27:14; 38:15; 130:5; 25:3)
