Facing Opposition?

  1. Hello Sister in Christ,

    I have struggled with this fact for a long time, but I can finally be at peace knowing that this was God’s plan for me all along - it just took a very long time before I understood it the way He wanted me to. I am now content with having no real friends (think about all the people who were betrayed or even killed by their so-called “real friends”) and having no place in the world (think no invitations to parties, events, or social activities and even if I was, only to be ignored and silently hated while I am just standing there like a total fool just hoping for someone to talk to). This is because God has promised much better in Heaven, and therefore I can live each day knowing that it is ever so closer. Do you agree Sister?
    Sometimes impatience and temptation are making it hard for me to carry on, but I am still fresh on God’s promise and have not fallen away from the faith, so I know I have persevered.

    If those who do not make the Rapture remain for the Tribulation, does this mean martyrdom is the only way to be saved during the seven years? There are even those who may survive the period but not have glorified bodies during the Millennium Reign. Does it seem like Matthew 12:15 applies here? “Those who save their life will lose it, but those who lose their life for my sake will find it.”

    I think pretty much now the whole world has heard about the 8.8 quake near Russia yesterday that triggered tsunami warnings all across the Pacific Ocean and West Coast. It is relieving that people in Hawaii are safe and the Tsunami risk over there has decreased, but do you think this could have been another sign in terms of birth pangs? People could say the 9.6 quake in Chile back in 1960 (actually the worst one ever recorded in terms of magnitude), the 2004 quake in Indonesia where like 230K people lost their lives, and the 2011 quake in Japan were tragic enough to make this 8.8 one nothing out of the ordinary, but do you think God is really trying to warn us that the Rapture and Tribulation are close? I know the quakes caused by the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls will make these quakes seem like mere shivers from frigid temperatures. Think Luke 21:11 where it warns of “earthquakes, famines, pestilences, etc.” Would this include natural disasters as well such as hurricanes and tsunamis?

    Also, I realized that the quake yesterday on July 29 is exactly 40 days prior to September 7 when the next Blood Moon will appear, 56 days (eight weeks) prior to Rosh Hashanah, and exactly 70 days before October 7 (exactly two year anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war and also the beginning of Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles). Are there any significant connections here?

    Stay safe Sister in case there are aftershocks resulting from the quake yesterday. I believe we are even closer to the appointed time but I could only assume that until the meeting in September, which I seriously hope finally brings about the covenant and we true Believers will finally be home. Take care and Blessings from a Brother in Christ.

    1. Yes, my dear brother, Heaven will be beyond anything we can imagine. You will be loved and cherished by everyone, as you are now loved and cherished by God.
      Yes, Most Christians in the Tribulation will die a martyrs death. It is inevitable.
      Yes, this 8.8 quake is definitely a prophetic sign! Interesting that 8 is the number of Jesus. I believe we will see more quakes and even higher ones than this. Because it was out in the ocean, not much damage was done. If that had happened on land in a big city, it would have been catastrophic. You are right in that the ones that will occur during the Tribulation will be far far worse. The Scriptures says that even the islands sink into the sea.
      Very interesting date numbers, Brother, and I'm sure there are connections to be made. We are close. Blessings to you!

  2. Greetings Holy Messenger of God,

    Opposition is guaranteed, as I have experienced. I once thought that I have no worth since all the “friends” I thought I had have abruptly gone their own ways without notice, and act as if they never knew me. I guess God wanted to tell me that He made me experience all those to understand that the world is full of evil and darkness, and those who are loyal to it will never see the true light or admit anything critical about it. Could it be that only through some kind of divine miracle or intervention that some people could finally be converted and their whole outlook on life transformed?

    For the Two-State Solution conference that ended yesterday, I recall that the UK plans on recognizing Palestine as independent on the condition that Israel does not alter its current stand on Gaza. Could this be part of the plan for the covenant to materialize possibly during the “Part 2” meeting in September just prior to Rosh Hashanah? I still have not seen or heard “seven years” anywhere on related coverage, but it should still be later this year to start the Tribulation? I could only hope this is the cycle for as I have indicated before, I just cannot wait to leave before all Hell breaks loose and finally be with Jesus and Brothers and Sisters in Heaven.

    Take care Sister for I hope that we just have a couple months left before we go home for I do not want to imagine what will happen when next year comes. Could Singularity actually materialize? Could there be some noticeable signs of the effects of the supposed July 4th Bioweapon simulation activity? Could there be even more wicked enhancements of AI? Could there be another full-scale war? These are just some questions that only time will tell, but I hope we would not have to find out, that is why I am about to feel desperate on when the Rapture will occur. Much blessings and peace in Christ.

    1. Haven't heard any specifics yet from the 2-state meeting but yes, it surely is the beginning of the covenant that the AC will sign. We will see (or maybe not) what the meeting in Sept brings. I still truly believe we leave this year, so stay close to Jesus. We don't know what or how much we will see beforehand, but we do know the Rapture is a rescue mission, so things are bound to get worse. Still, we are safely in the arms of our Savior!

  3. Greetings Precious Daughter of the Most High God,

    Yeah, that hit the nail on the head.
    But this is what Paul say's, 2 Timothy 2:1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.

    1. Interestingly, I just finished reading through Timothy 1 and 2! We are to be soldiers, farmers, athletes in our walk with the Lord! Not couch potatoes. Everyone loves a couch potato. LOL Blessings!

  4. This comment is not as serious as the previous ones but it IS about opposition.
    I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw an ad for some hair products that said something about women being “queens”. If you’re a “queen” you deserve this product, something like that. So I posted a comment saying that I didn’t like being called a queen because it reminded me of “drag queens“ I would rather be called a “princess” because I am a daughter of the King!
    Well, the reply I got made me laugh because someone said “are you a mental case”? My reply was, “most people say that about us Christians”!
    It’s just unbelievable what people will say.
    Blessings, BevH

    1. Wow. All I can say is wow, Bev. It's so sad how deceived people are. And there seems to be a ton of opposition on social media! Blessings!

    2. Love your comment Bev. So suited for todays culture. I often find myself not saying certain words that had wonderful meanings in the "olden days". Isnt it awful that a joyful word like "gay" now means something perverse. Just like the "queen" or even queer have become politically incorrect ! Talk about the Tower of Babel !

  5. I've received so much opposition lately, especially from family. My 2 grown children don't speak to me because of my 'radical Christianity' It really hurts. I saw a quote recently that was incorrectly attributed to CS Lewis but it still resonates "I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief." That's where I'm at right now. The opposition is strong.

    1. I'm so very sorry to hear this. My son disowned me for over a year, wouldn't speak to me at all over politics and religion. He is now speaking to me again, at least. But he has asked me never to mention God. So I don't. I pray and fast for him and his kids and wife. And whenever I go over to his house, I cast out demons and pray for God's Holy Spirit to save all who live there. My grown daughter also has asked me not to mention the rapture again, so I don't. It's so hard. I'm so sorry your children aren't speaking to you. The Lord sees this and understands. His closest friends deserted Him in His hour of need. He told us our own families would reject us for our faith in Him. Hang in there, dear saint. Pray for your children. Your reward in heaven will be great!

      Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matthew 5:10-12

    2. I am so sorry to hear this story Sister! I know how it feels for I tried to explain End Times and Scriptures to family, but I already anticipated the expected reaction so I decided to stop altogether to avoid creating further tension.

      For your family, I remember you said before that your husband was formerly an atheist but later came to Christ after you put much effort in praying for him. Does it seem like it may not apply to your children based on your descriptions? I do not know if the Tribulation would be enough to convince them that their mother was truly a servant of the Lord who only tried to warn them so they can escape the real terror that is coming. I think this can apply to many families in the world where believing parents are deeply estranged from their children for this very reason.

      I pray that your children will finally see the light, but if even things still do not work out, would we have to live in Heaven with only those truly saved? I read something about us being transformed as in we may not miss or care about what we left behind on Earth, but do you think there may be people who are the “sole survivors” in their households and would live in Heaven by themselves? Could it be that the Brothers and Sisters in Heaven be the new and primary family forever?

      Going off tangent a bit, but I am one of those people who are willing to let others cry on their shoulders as in truly care and comfort those who need consolation. I know this is not possible for me in real life nor will it ever be, but I know that in Heaven, there “will be no more crying for the old things have passed away,” as Jesus stated. I know I may never be able to prove this since people do not even offer the opportunity, but I can leave you with this reassuring message that God will ensure there is only true happiness and love in Heaven. Blessings and see you soon in the clouds along with other Brothers and Sisters.

    3. Thank you so much! Anyone who has rebellious, prodigal children suffers as I do, but there are many Scriptures in the Bible that promise descendants of the righteous will eventually be saved, so I know without a doubt that my children will one day be in Heaven with me! Unfortunately, it may take the Tribulation for them to wake up. Though we will have memories of our life here on Earth, there is no guilt, sorrow or pain for what occurred. And yes, we will be a part of a Huge family.. of brothers and sisters who love each other. Forever!

  6. When there are people who are truly kind to others, but just downright heartless to certain people, whether expressed verbally or non-verbally, isn’t this one form of opposition? From a biblical perspective, would the “fake” people be able to sense those who have Christ in them and are therefore hostile to them, while being very nice and social to others? I heard that the people who are cruelly treated never even did anything to harm the hostile ones yet they had to endure such hatred and/or resentment just by simply coming across them.
    Could it be that this is another one End Times sign? I wonder if this is what Jesus meant when He said “the love of many will grow cold” - if this is true, then in the name of Jesus I pray that He will take us home very soon for demons are staring to showing up everywhere, especially when we are close to the end. How would God feel of this scenario if He looks at their hearts? Would he be disappointed and upset, especially if the cruel ones are proud of their acts and do not even pretend to feel remorseful?

    As July is about to end, I know we are in the Jewish month of Av, but I recently read online that “Scripture does not really hint anything apocalyptical about the month of Av.” In other words, August may just be a “regular” month and may not be a High Watch month until September, which we all know why it is a highly significant High Watch month. Could this be true?

    Regarding stories I have heard about people having NDEs and claiming to have seen the Lord and/or angels, does this mean God has “chosen” them specifically not just to warn the world that He is real, but that their salvation is confirmed? As in they are guaranteed to go through the Rapture and be in Heaven? If this is true, that does not mean that regular true Believers like me and others who have not endured such experiences are not favorably viewed by God?

    1. Yes, indeed. We live in the generation right before Tribulation and yes, the love of many has definitely grown cold. We are in a spiritual battle! Yes, demons know and can sense the Holy Spirit within you and therefore can cause others to mistreat you for that reason. They may not even know why they dislike you... but they treat you badly because the demons in them or around them sense your love for Jesus. Pray for them to know Jesus and repent. Otherwise, they will end up in a bad place.
      Don't know about August or the month of Av. I am taking one day at a time and watching the signs. I do think we will see more prophetic signs the closer we get to leaving.
      God give gifts to each of His children. Some are giving dreams and interpretation of dreams, others are given gifts of teaching, administration, healing, deliverance, mercy, etc... You can read all about them in 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4. We each are chosen by God for a purpose here on Earth. No one saint is better than another! So absolutely not! The Lord does not look on any one of us more favorably than any other!

    2. Thanks for your response Sister. I have suspected this for a long time and now I feel I can get some closure in this explanation coming from a true holy servant of God.

      By the way, I hope you were not upset by the mentioning of God favoring people more than others based on your use of exclamation marks at the end of your response. Please know that I love the Lord just as much as any other true Believer and I do not want to feel I have not proven myself enough to be worthy of being called His child.

    3. Absolutely not. I am not upset at all. I just wanted to emphasize how much the Lord loves us all the same. :-)

  7. When the Tribulation starts, could people who “used to be friends” suddenly turn on each other including their own families? Is this form of opposition how it is going to be during this period? Isn’t this why having many friends is actually more of a risk than a pleasure? Imagine then how those who live off social media will start to feel, but that will not change the fact that they may have to deal with people whom they thought were friends and now regret will not protect or save them in the worse-case scenario.

    Now I understand why the Lord made me go through the experience of being mistreated and seeing that all the kindness was temporary and false. Wouldn’t Brothers and Sisters in Heaven be worth like a billion real friends in this life, if that was even humanly possible? Regardless, I can wait for however much time we have left knowing that it will come very soon via the Rapture.

    1. Yes, in the Tribulation many people (unsaved) will turn on each other. The Bible says that our enemies will be in our own household and to trust no one. Micah 7. And yes, our family in heaven will be worth even more than a billion real friends in this life. Blessings!

  8. Good Morning Sister in the Lord,

    Regarding opposition, there is a vision that I imagine myself having occasionally that I thought I’d share:

    The people who were cruel to me in this life would be transformed into pure loving individuals who would sincerely apologize for their misdeeds, if they end up repenting and getting saved. For me, that is the thing I am more than willing to do in Heaven: welcome those who formerly wronged or mistreated me with open arms. I imagined this vision a number of times where the fully repentant people are crying while saying “I am so sorry what I did to you in the previous life” to me, and my response was “You are my Brother/Sister in Christ. I always knew it was not you saying those words or acting that way.” It is hard to feel this way while still on Earth, but I am looking forward to having this opportunity in Heaven.

    Peace and Blessings Sister. I know eventually we will never endure such opposition again and be loved by all in Heaven. I just pray it will be very soon especially since the Daniel Covenant seems to be prepared, possibly discussed during the September meeting. Come Quickly Lord Jesus and Maranatha!

    1. I love your attitude and so does Jesus. In heaven, we will all willingly apologize to others for the things we did here and we will all forgive each other. It will be wonderful. Can't wait. Blessings!
