Baptism in Death ~ Born Again ~ The Vision

This post will be long, as I will be sharing a vision, and an experience I had back in December of 2019. Before I begin my story, I would like to share some scriptures to help you bring it all together. Many, without realizing it are helping me bring scriptures to life, it is my hope that I am helping many as well. That's how the body of Christ works. This will prove Christ pre-existed but will also continue to show how he is the Firstborn of the New Creation...not God the Father ~ Jehovah, but Eternal Father of the New Creation. 

As I mention in my previous post: Baptism in Death ~ Born Again  ~ Born of Spirit. Jesus Christ is compared to Melchizedek, no genealogy, it is not revealed when and where he came from...only that he is Divine, a Spirit and a Man created in Jehovah's image.

Genesis 1 - Heavens and Earth (Male and Female) created in the Image of God.

Genesis 2 - Earth and Heaven (Male and Female) formed from Earth by Jehovah God.

John 1:1-2 ASV — In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

Verse 1

• "In the beginning was the Word" -  The Divine Word - the Holy Scriptures

Hebrews 4:12 ASV — For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

•  "the Word was with God" - "Angel of the Lord" OT - Archangel Michael in his pre-existence.

Daniel 10:21 ASV — But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince.

See blog post: Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel

• "the Word was God" - Jesus Christ, a man who reveals Jehovah God when on earth and anointed with Holy Spirit at his baptism...not incarnate, metaphorically.

John 1:14 ASV — And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

John 1:33 ASV — And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 1:3 ASV — who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Colossians 1:15 ASV — who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

Invisible ~ unable to be seen; not visible to the eye. (If God is not visible, He is not incarnate.)

Verse 2

• "same" was in the beginning with God" - Wisdom ~ Female

Proverbs 8:22 ASV — Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.

Galatians 4:26 ASV — But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.

Hebrews 9:5 ASV — and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

Firstborn of the New Creation... Begotten God

John 1:3-5 ASV — All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

John 16:7 ASV — Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

John 16:13 ASV — Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

Who is the Spirit of Truth?

Hebrews 1:6 ASV — And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Colossians 1:16 ASV — for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;

Genesis 1: Celestial bodies are not the same creation as...

Genesis 2: Terrestrial bodies.

Genesis 1:27 ASV — And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 3:15 ASV — and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Strong's H430: God - angels (messengers), godly

1 Corinthians 15:40 ASV — There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

Please take note that Genesis 2:4 ends with the generations "heavens and of the earth" when they were created by God, and then starts with the day Jehovah God created the "earth and heaven", so you have the heavens (plural) and earth first, then you have the earth and heaven.

Genesis 2:1 ASV — And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

Genesis 2:4 ASV — These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

Genesis 2:7 ASV — And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:22 ASV — and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

1 Corinthians 15:45 ASV — So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

2 Corinthians 12:2 ASV — I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. (Mind)

Strong's G444: Man - human being

Revelation 12:13-14 ASV — And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Joel 2:28-29 ASV — And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.

December 14, 2019 ~ The Vision

I woke up that morning and prepared myself for field service. I had left the JW organization for approximately two months, leaving late September 2019 and returning sometime in November 2019. I had noticed that much wasn't right there, the people were nice and did their very best to be obedient, to lead as much of a sinless life as possible, but there was a certain control that came with it, and I was uncomfortable with it. The environment did not feel holy to me, some things felt unloving to me. So, when I left, I began to study other Bibles that my husband had, I even went to the church he started attending, in time I realized that wasn't right either. 

I returned to the JW's because they were closest in loyalty to "Jehovah" and in beliefs. They're imperfect beings trying their best to be prim and proper. Here's where my lesson in forgiveness begins. During the year from July 2020 through April 2021, I had been persecuted by them. I learned to love them anyway. It is Satan who rules this world.

Ephesians 6:12 ASV — For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I went back to studying with the sister I had studied with in the Spring. She was excited to have me back, she knew I had continued my studies with the Bible, even though I had left. She was there from the start of all that happened and now she would also be aware of my vision.  

Now back to that morning of the 14th. The home we gathered at before heading out on field service was on Barren Road, on that road is a park I often walked to from my home, called Orchard Park. It's a very small park with a single large tree, other trees have recently been planted. The link provided has more details. Orchard Park 

It's a place where you can drop off or retrieve a book to read, a cute birdhouse with a glass door that sits on a post. 

Here's some images...

                                                                 

That morning I decided to leave a Bible. It had still been wrapped in plastic. I had picked up many Bibles at the Kingdom Hall earlier that week, I remember the elder being surprised that the plastic had not been removed. Anyways, I dropped it off with a simple note "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~ Matthew 6:21" and went about my morning. Now I'm home and it's raining out. These days I was spending most of my time in my bedroom. When one returns, or simply turns to God, it's not always understandable to a family who doesn't practice faith and to those who don't believe in it. Worse yet, when they see a transformation happen before their eyes that they can't explain, and one that I couldn't explain myself in detail, although I tried...tensions arise.

As I sit in my room, I'm guided by the Holy Spirit once again. I knew I had to go to the park. I grabbed my bright blue umbrella, throw on my long, tan, wool-like coat, scarf and white gloves and start walking. It's raining pretty good, thankfully it's only about a 15-minute walk or so. As I'm walking, I'm singing to Jehovah "Eu amo-te Jeova" in Portuguese, meaning "I love you Jehovah" and when I get to the park, I know to grab the Bible I had left there, and it dawns on me, that's why the plastic was left on.  It would protect the Bible while I was in the rain, remembering the comment the elder had made about it. After grabbing the Bible, I walked over to the one tree in the large grass area, link provided has images. At this point it's already mid to late afternoon. 

Many thoughts are going through my mind on what's going to happen. "Is this it, will this be my last day on earth?" I remember thinking of my family, I was sad and happy. Sad that they would miss me, but happy that the end was here and a new beginning for all would begin. Although it's still slightly raining, I put down my umbrella still opened. I remember staring at it and thinking its shape reminded me of a lemon slice (alkaline) and as I stared at the seams sown that brought each piece together, I had a thought of the "seven sons" of God. At this point, I remember thinking that often, thinking somehow that it's family, but not fully understanding.  

More time has passed and suddenly my husband shows up, opens his door, steps out and asks why I was standing there, I simply explained to him that I needed to be there. He didn't like the idea and couldn't make sense of it, but he decided he would leave me be and left. I'm now getting tired and beginning to wonder if something really was going to happen, knowing I was meant to be there, guided by Jehovah through Jesus Christ...and like that, something begins to happen. 

I'm now looking up at the sky, it has stopped raining, the skies are a dark gray. Out of nowhere, bright orange wisps of thick clouds start to appear, rapidly moving. It was an amazing site, it reminded me of a passage in the Bible (Psalm 18). In early 2019, when I was called on by Jehovah, this is the very first scripture I went to and repeated over and over, as I was experiencing something frightening and not of this world. Here's the link that touches on that: Awake ~ My Heartfelt Prayer ~ 2019 

Here it is, still one of my favorite scriptures until this day...at the time it was from the NWT...

Psalm 18:1-3 NWT ~ I have affection for you, O Jehovah, my strength. Jehovah is my crag and my stronghold and the One who rescues me. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and my horn of salvation, my secure refuge. I call on Jehovah, who is worthy of praise, And I will be saved from my enemies.

As the orange clouds start moving, more and more appear, moving quickly and furious. I remember thinking Jehovah is angry and He was there to rescue me for all the bad that was being done to me. 

Psalm 18:8-10 ASV — There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.

As I'm looking up, a small circular opening appears through the dark skies just above the entrance of the park. I see some blue skies and an array of colors around the opening, off to the right of it, I couldn't believe my eyes, what looked like two angels were suddenly flying towards me. "This is it" I thought, and in a blink of an eye, although I no longer could see the angels, out of nowhere I could feel the shoulders of my coat being pulled up, a gravitational pull, like I was being lifted up, but it was as if I were to heavy, or glued to the ground. I could feel the pull and then, nothing. 

I still stood there, I went nowhere and nothing else happened. I thought to myself "Satan has to strong a hold on me" it didn't work, I remember feeling very saddened. Then shortly after, it happened again, how I prayed that it would work this time, but it didn't, "I'm still hear" was my thought. 

I look back up at the skies where the opening had been, now it looks like the sun is rising. It actually took a few days later to realize that what looked like the sun rising, was actually the sun setting, but the way the skies had opened up in the clouds, it gave the appearance that it was rising and not setting

Psalm 18:11-15 ASV — He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire. Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

Skies now start to darken once again, it was serene. Thick and gloomy clouds now start surface the tops of the trees, I now feel myself turn around to look behind me and much to my surprise there is a massive rainbow in these dark gray skies. Words couldn't even begin to express how beautiful it looked, nor could it be explained, the contrast of colors next to dark gray skies was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. Then, it was as if something invisible punched through it, a hole. I remember thinking, although I couldn't see it, something flew through it. It rapidly started to dissolve, breaking apart...no more rainbow, it disappeared.

Psalm 18:16-21 ASV — He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me. They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

Revelation 12:12 ASV — Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

The first woe has passed...post scheduled for this topic.

Revelation 12:14 ASV — And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

My thoughts: "It was a hole in the heart, blood had spilled, it was torn, and the wound needed to be mended and sewn together, a bond that could not be broken."

Blog post: Rainbow of Colors ~ Missing Link

I stayed a while longer, maybe another hour if that. Then I gave up. Feeling down and not understanding what had just taken place. I put my gloves back on, pick up my umbrella, put the Bible back in the book box, and start walking back home. As I'm walking, I'm feeling very hurt and discouraged, yet there's a certain peace within me, as if I weren't alone. Someone or something is with me. Then I realized the pain in my back is gone. 

1 Corinthians 13:13 ASV — But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

One of the things I had started to experience was a crippling pain in my spine, at times I'd be in my room studying the Bible while I sat by my window, and out of nowhere I'd feel a twisting pain in my spine, almost being paralyzed by it, to the point I'd fall back on my couch chair that was behind me. It had gotten so severe I didn't think I'd get out of it; tears would stream down from my eyes, and I couldn't move. I knew why it was happening and that there was only one who could stop it, Jehovah, and He did. After my experience at the park, Satan no longer had that kind of grip on me personally.

This is just one of many things that have happened to me since returning to Jehovah in early 2019. My faith is strong, it does not matter what Satan throws my way, I know Jehovah is always there. I have one more post to go out on this topic of being born again, then I have other posts that will go out that I'm working on, regarding the woes that are soon to come.

To those who are called, if you are chosen...it is after the woman, that the dragon will turn his attention to the seed...you must rely on Jehovah and Jesus Christ to get you through it. Put your full faith in Jehovah, it will not be easy. It is a spiritual war, many will not even know you are going through it or what it is, that is happening to you.

Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

May Jehovah through Jesus Christ bring you...

Baptism in Death ~ Born Again ~ Born of Spirit

This post is a continuation of the previous blog post: Baptism in Death ~ Born Again ~ "In" Jesus' Name. I have several more posts I'm working on, including an experience with a vision that I had in late 2019. I am now ready to share it. I had shared it with some, but they still did not understand. Know one knows when and where Jesus began in his pre-existence...same goes for anyone who is born of the Spirit. I will go into more detail on this in my next post.

Jesus Christ ~ He is the Firstborn of the New Creation.

More detail on the following in my next post...

Jeremiah 7:34 ASV — Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.

Jeremiah 25:10 ASV — Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

Jeremiah 33:11 ASV — the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to Jehovah of hosts, for Jehovah is good, for his lovingkindness endureth for ever; and of them that bring sacrifices of thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah.

See blog post:

Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel...Mighty God

In Jesus' own words...

Matthew 10:32 ASV — Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

Philippians 2:11 ASV — and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

How many of you know that Jesus means "Jehovah is Salvation" and yet..

you refuse to accept, or simply ignore, that it is Jehovah who saves? 

Why? 

Because you'd rather believe doctrines of men...a doctrine that came into existence First Council of Nicaea (325) and First Council of Constantinople (381), this is long after Jesus ascended. If this doctrine is so sound, why are many (trinitarians) until this very day, still confused by it? Furthermore, why can many others see it clearly (non-trinitarians), that the unbiblical trinity - (triune God), is exactly that, unbiblical. This doctrine is NOT SOUND and the main reason for countless arguments and debates.

Have you ever asked yourself how convenient it is that the oldest manuscripts available for the New Testament only go as far back as Codex Sinaiticus, sometime in the fourth century and Codex Vaticanus, in the Vatican Library, also noted as being produced sometime in the fourth century.

Jehovah God was with Jesus, he is not Jehovah incarnate. 

No one can see God and live.

Acts 10:38 ASV — even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Exodus 33:20 ASV — And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live.

1 John 4:12 ASV — No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

Matthew 7:22-23 ASV — Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Did you prophesy that Jehovah is Salvation?

1 Timothy 4:1 ASV — But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 ASV — Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

Joel 2:1 ASV — Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2 Thessalonians 2:7 ASV — For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.

Will you walk away from the faith, to learn what you believed in was a lie?

Ephesians 1:17 ASV — that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

Excerpt from blog post: Mankind Soon to be Saved ~

"Let's start with religious leaders first... the harlot, Babylon the Great, the mother of the prostitutes...the JW Organization (1 John 2:18) and other false Christ's aka the Pope, and the Jews, whom persecuted Jesus Christ. ~ Revelation 17:1.5, 6  

Antichrist's ~ 2 John 7; 1 John 4:3; 1 John 2:22"

Those who only "believe" in the Old Testament (Jews and alike), those who only "believe" in the trinity (triune God) and the Pope as "Jesus" (Catholics and alike) and those who "believe" in Christ, but made themselves as God "Jehovah" (the only channel of communication) replacing the role of Jesus Christ as mediator (Jehovah's Witnesses and alike, meaning all who claim they are the truth"). These have all been against Christ with their false teachings.

Matthew 15:14 ASV — Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

Luke 11:52 ASV — Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

There's only one TRUTH...

John 14:6 ASV — Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Those who know the difference will get many strokes, those who don't, will get few....

Luke 12:47-48 ASV — And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.

Condition of the heart...

Matthew 22:37-40 ASV — And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.

In the Old Testament...How do you LOVE the Father, when you don't know Him.

Deuteronomy 6:5 ASV — and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Leviticus 19:18 ASV — Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am Jehovah.

Please stop telling yourself  "It's all about the Gospel" 

when the "WORD OF GOD" is the entire Bible ~ 

The Holy Scriptures and it exerts power...

Hebrews 4:12 ASV — For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 4:13 ASV — And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 ASV — If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

May Jehovah through Jesus Christ bring you...

~ Peace, Love and Joy ~

I will share scripture in hopes that some may get some clarity. As always, it is my understanding, I am not pushing it on anyone. If you agree, that's great. If you don't, that's okay too. I will begin by touching on the trinity and the antichrist first. There is a remnant that God the Father chooses for this calling, that is being born again, not all will have it. These will experience things that many will not, a spiritual awakening, being called does not mean you are chosen.

Have FAITH...in time, all will have an understanding...on the last day, as every knee will bend. 

Romans 14:11 ASV — For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

The above verse is quoted from the Old Testament... 

Isaiah 45:23 ASV — By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Now let's read the previous verses (21-22) in Isaiah, it shows us that "Lord" in verse 11 of Romans is referred to Jehovah, not Jesus...

Isaiah 45:21-22 ASV — Declare ye, and bring it forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.

Philippians 2:10 ASV — that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,

What is "in" the name of Jesus?

Strong's G2424: Jesus ~ "Jehovah is Salvation"

When all bow to Jesus they will bow to the Father, as he was anointed with God's power. It is Jesus who reveals Him. To see him, is to see the Father, metaphorically speaking, not physically - not incarnate.

John 5:43 ASV — I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

As Jesus answered: "if another shall come in his own name, him ye will recieve" sadly, many of you do.

• Those who refuse the Christ, (Jews and alike) and are expecting Christ to appear in Jerusalem, a false Christ. 
• Those who made Christ equal to the Father and a triune God ~ part of a Trinity (Roman Catholics - Pope and trinitarians alike) you've made Jesus a false God. 
• Then, there are those who took the place of Christ as mediator (GB of Jehovah's Witnesses) these have made themselves God (golden calf). 
• These are false teachers, the false prophets from where the Antichrist comes. 

So why did Jehovah call him God?

Hebrews 1:8-9 ASV — but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

John 6:39 ASV — And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

Daniel 12:4 ASV — But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

It's God's timing, not ours...trust in it.

Joel 2:32 ASV — And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.

Romans 9:20 ASV — Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?

Please do not question Jehovah God's purposes. He sent Jesus Christ to save us. Trust in the Father and you will be guided. Please be the sheep...the righteous ones. Some will be in heaven, some will be on earth.

Ecclesiastes 5:1 ASV — Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

Matthew 25:45-46 ASV — Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

John 12:48 ASV — He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.

How many of you believe in Jesus and don't call on the name of Jehovah?

Isaiah 66:5 ASV — Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, Let Jehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy; but it is they that shall be put to shame.

Is there anywhere in scripture that states Jesus is the Almighty God...

or does Jesus himself cleary state that there is ONE God?

Isaiah 13:6 ASV — Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Mark 12:29-30 ASV — Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

Jesus' own words are quoting from the Old Testament...the Torah (Tanakh ~ Hebrew Bible) He is speaking to a Jewish audience and would not quote from the Greek Septuagint. Many assume that he quotes from the Greek translation, yet, we don't have the original text of the NT to know exactly how he quoted.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 ASV — Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Is the trinity (triune God) in the Bible?

To those who claim that many take away the Deity of Christ. I agree, but I ask you this...

Do you take away the Deity of the Father, the One and Only, True God ~ Jehovah?

Yes, you do. 

1 Timothy 1:1 ASV — Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

1 Timothy 1:5-8 ASV — But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned: from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking; desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

The Law: As stated earlier, the Lord referenced here is Jehovah God.

Matthew 22:37-40 ASV — And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.

It's so simple, yet men complicate it. 

The only thing a church should be teaching is LOVE and how to help those in need. 

Rely on Jehovah and follow Jesus Christ. That's it, the rest will follow.

Jesus Christ is our Lord and should be worshipped as the Father, only because he reveals Him to us. When we worship Jesus it must be to the glory of the Father. Scriptures clearly tell us who the One True God is, but many would rather believe doctrines of men. Jesus has revealed the Father, but he is not the Father incarnate...Jesus Christ is Lord. 

John 17:3 ASV — And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

John 1:18 ASV — No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 1:18 NASB95 — No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

  

Jesus is godly, but he is not Jehovah God Himself. There are many who understand this already, who are reading the same scriptures as you, it is you who refuses to accept it...maybe you can't accept that you may have been wrong. I know it will hurt, but the truth will set you free and unless you accept it, you will remain blind and you will have no one else to blame, but yourself. Learn the difference, put down your pride. If you're refusing to see something, then you won't. Stop relying on man to guide you. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

There are countless, from different denominations who are trying to teach you this already...please listen and pray to Jehovah God for guidance and ask for Holy Spirit in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Remember, you don't need to belong to any denomination to understand it. I love you and will continue to pray for you. 

1 Corinthians 8:6 ASV — yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

It is a FALSE TEACHING, it is not sound, if you teach it, YOU ARE A FALSE TEACHER.

2 Corinthians 11:14 ASV — And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.

If you want the truth, keep on knocking. Please read a Bible with Jehovah's name in the Old Testament. Stop letting Satan blind you. Draw close to Jehovah, get to know the Father, because if you continue to believe in the (triune God) trinity, then you will never truly know Him...many of you don't even know His name.

Psalm 83:18 ASV — That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.

Matthew 7:7-8 ASV — Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

After the woman, the dragon turns his attention to the seed. For those who've been called, if you're chosen this pertains to you. It does not matter what you've believed in before, heart condition...if it's meant to be you, you will know it. Let no man deceive you, this goes to Jew and Gentile alike.

Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

Matthew 24:45 ASV — Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

What does a mother do? 

She feeds her children.

Genesis 17:16 ASV — And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.

Galatians 4:26 ASV — But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.

Genesis 3:15 ASV — and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Please reflect on who YOU are as a person. It's up to you as an individual, to do the right thing. Be the very best version of a human being that you can be. Many say they love regardless of one's belief, but many have proven their words to be false. I live it almost everyday. 

Be honest with yourself...

When one doesn't believe like you, do you really, truly love them? 

Do you truly LOVE everyone regardless? 

You can lie to your neighbor, or to yourself, but you can't lie to the Father... Jehovah. 

Jehovah reads the heart, He knows where your heart is right now.

Proverbs 21:2 ASV — Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.

Proverbs 24:12 ASV — If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?

Luke 16:15 ASV — And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Acts 1:24 ASV — And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,

Hebrews 4:7 ASV — he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

Matthew 22:14 ASV — For many are called, but few chosen.

Jesus sits at the right hand, until Jehovah puts his enemies at his feet. Afterwards, Jesus will then sit on his throne and rule as King, resuming his role as the Christ, with the Power of Jehovah God.

Hebrews 1:13 ASV — But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

Quoted from...

Psalm 110:1 ASV — A Psalm of David. Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Matthew 25:31 ASV — But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

May Jehovah through Jesus Christ bring you...
