Men need to be man and women to be women. Unfortunately, there is pressure from the media to deform the identity of people through the propagation of the feminist moviment (who hate the women, making them to feel offended and ashamed to be women) and the homossualism. Of course, there are difference between "man and woman", "rich and poor", "white, black, indian and asian", "child, young and elder" and so on. There are difference between them and praise be the Lord Jesus for this! The important is that each one find their place in the heaven and allow Jesus to shine His light through them. With so much discombobulation, many people don't know more who they are and for what they were created.

DOES THE CREATOR REPENT? (Part 1) INTRODUCTION There have been many discussions around this subject. One of the great problems is that the Hebraic word which is translated to Portuguese and English as “to repent” can assume several meanings and, unfortunately, the translation is deficient. In order to clarify this subject, let’s analyze the chief excerpts where the word “to repent” or “to relent” appear and the real meaning of this word. REPENT MEANING “TO CONSOLE” Repent, here, signifies “to console”. 1 - Here the Creator didn’t wish to destroy Israel and, for this, He aroused Moses so that His grace could find room in his heart and, thus, He could enjoy in evincing His mercy (Micah 7:18): First the Creator expressed His feelings and thoughts: • Exo 32:9,10 -> “And the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you.” Next, Moses is arisen and is taken of compassion for Israel and sadness for what would happen to the name of the Creator if nothing was done: • Exodus 32.12 -> “Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people.”. The Creator finally found a way to work the heart of the Israelites so that they didn’t need to perish. This is a solace to the Creator (He comforted Himself through the possibility of using Moses to work the heart of His people). • Exodus 32.14 -> “And the LORD relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.” Have a nice day. Tomorrow we will carry on.

Revealing the secret or not? Behold the question. • “One going with slander is a revealer of secrets, but the faithful of spirit keeps the matter hidden.” (Proverbs 11:4). Of course, we can’t stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful (Ps 1:1). After all, two people only can go along if they have an agreement (Amos 3:3). If someone stays with the wicked, they will learn their ways and will get a snare to their soul (Prov 22:25). You can argue: “but Jesus walked and ate with tax collectors and sinners (Matthew 11:19). Yes, but He didn’t stay with them, but only with the apostles. Besides, Jesus never condoned with works of the murkiness (Eph 5:11); rather, He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him (Col 2:15). After all: • “Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.” (Jer 48:10). You can question: but doing this, we are outspreading the turpitude of the wicked. Well, one thing is what Jesus did against the Pharisees and Sadducees: unmasked them so that they could have opportunity to repent and convert to Him and Israel’s people could see who is the true God and the correct way to worship Him. Other different thing is gets pleasure in hearing scurrilous words against somebody. Of course: • “The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” (Pro 18:8). We can’t let out anything about anybody, unless this is REALLY directed by Jesus for His glory for salvation of the wrongdoing and their followers: • “You shall not go as a slanderer among your people; you shall not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am Jehovah. You shall not hate your brother in your heart. *You shall always rebuke your neighbor*, and not allow sin on him.” (Lev 19:16,17). This was what Paul did with Peter: • “But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed. For before some came from James, he ate with the nations. But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him, so as even Barnabas was led away with their dissembling. But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If you, being a Jew, live as a Gentile, and not as the Jews, why do you compel the nations to judaize?” (Galatians 2:11-14). So, may Jesus impart to us a good day in His presence, full of strength to ward off the evil companionships, which corrupts good habits (1Cor 15:33), and courage to tell off evildoers according to the Creator so that He can work repentance to salvation (2Cor 7:10), so that they might be partakers of His holiness and yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness (Heb 12:10,11).

The power of silence – Part 2: • “One despising his friend lacks heart, but a man of understanding remains silent.” (Proverbs 11:12). On the one hand, we can’t be accomplice in the works of murkiness (Romans 13:12; Ephesians 5:11). But, there is moments we need to hold our peace: • “Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you; give to a wise man, and he will love you.” (Pro 9:8). We need to be aware that our work is to preach the truth. The work of bringing people around belong to the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 3:18-21; John 16:8). Of course, we need to strain so that people can see the truth (2Timothy 2:25,26). This will be useful to bring to us wisdom (Proverbs 11:30) and cover to multitude of sins (James 5:19,20): • “But if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear you, take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he neglects to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax-collector.” (Mat 18:15-17). Besides: • “He who rebukes a man shall afterwards find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.” (Pro 28:23). Moreover: • “Jehovah, who shall dwell in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell on Your holy hill? he does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;” (Psa 15:1,3). We can’t accept that our neighbor can be an opprobrium in the life of people around them. They are precious lives that need to be saved (Luke 15:7,10). Nonetheless, we can’t take the place of the Holy Spirit in their life. May Jesus give us a good day full of discerning to know when to hush and when to preach. I wish that Jesus can be with our mouth as He was with Moses’ and Ezekiel’s mouth (Exodus 4:12; Ezekiel 3:26). After all, by our words we shall be justified, and by our words we shall be condemned (Mat 12:37).

The important is to be right before Jesus. If the person is behaving pursuant to the standards of the Kingdom of Heaven, hardly ever this person will be forsaken by the spouse. And, if this happens, certainly will care for this person in a supernatural way: 1Co 7:12-16 -> " To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is n unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?".

Well, on the contrary that people thinks, the rapture of the church won't be secret.

Unfortunately, many people don't perceive that the true beauty comes from the heart and that we ought to be as Jesus made us.

The power of the silence: • “One despising his friend lacks heart, but a man of understanding remains silent.” (Proverbs 11:12). Those who belittle their neighbor lack understanding. After all, when a person approach of us, it is something supernatural. Even if they came in order to require some professional service, it isn’t in vain that they chose us instead of our concurrent. However, it doesn’t mean that we need to do or speak something. Many times, we relate love to this. Nonetheless, many times, what people need is to be heard, to have someone that comprehend and support them. Furthermore, more important than gifts, actions and words is our life, our time, our presence. After all, does you know what is the best form of loving? It is giving what we have of most important: ourselves. At the moments when the words are missing, to be close to the needy is very comfortable to them. Besides, if we don’t know what to speak, if we don’t receive Jesus’ revelation, it’s better to shut up: • “But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands on you and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them. And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be dumb and shall not be one who warns them. For they are a rebellious house.” (Ezekiel 3:25,26). See that the Creator shut Ezekiel’s mouth so that he only could speak in the right moment. This is so important that the Creator also promised to Moses to be with his mouth. Lamentably, he turned down the assistance of the Creator (Exodus 4:12-14) and the result is that he spoke unthoughtfully and, for this, didn’t come into the promise land (Psalms 106:32,33). So, may Jesus be with your mouth so that you only speak what is good to build up so that it may give grace to the ones hearing (Eph 4:29).

WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM (Part 3)? Do you remember why Ha-Satan was made into devil? • John 8:44 -> “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, *because there is no truth in him* . When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”. The key point is “because there is no truth in him”. And when the Truth isn’t in the heart of someone, the result is that never they will be thoroughly happy. Always they will find something to disquiet them (chiefly when the prosperity of the others is superior to them). When this takes place, they do exactly what Ha-Satan did: • Isa 14:12-14 -> ““How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’”. • Eze 28:15-17 -> “You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you. In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you.”. Or as Eve did: • Gen 3:5,6 -> “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.”. Or as the angels below did: • Jud 1:6 -> “And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—“. All of these characters sinned from the moment that they tried to be or have what wasn’t designed by them. Although all of them were in the paradise and, in particular, Ha-Satan and these angels had a glorified body, when they thought that they could have or be more than what the Creator bestowed them, the covet gave birth to sin: • Jas 1:14,15 -> “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”. Therefore, if the Truth doesn’t reside inside the person, they won’t know who they are and for what they were created and, thus, they always will find reason for dissatisfaction. It suffices to find someone who are or have something apart from them.

WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM (Part 2)? After all, the blessings to Jerusalem and the mount Zion will be marvelous and only for the Israelites: • Isa 65:18-25 -> “But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”. Imagine all the people having to go up to Jerusalem to learn Jesus’ ways, laws, teachings, etc., to worship Him from time to time in Jerusalem (and seeing all the glory of Jesus and the paradise wherein Jerusalem was turned in), but without possibility of dwell there (a beautiful place full of joy, peace, love, without any harm). After all, the time to the non-Israelites trod down Jerusalem for dwelling there will finish in the second coming of Jesus to establish the millennium: • Luk 21:24 -> “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”. In the millennium, the salvific grace of Jesus won’t work. People will live as in the time of the Old Testament, but with one difference: now Jesus is the king reigning through His perfect law, having with ministers the fool virgins of Rev 6:9-11 with glorified body (who was perfectly redeemed). That is to say, all the government will be perfect with righteous laws and faithful ministers. The worship to the Creator will be holy and without any blemish. However, without the transformation carried out by Jesus’ grace, people only will be able to obey while Jesus is reigning with iron rod (Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15), that is to say, without Ha-Satan to deceive the nations (Rev 20:1-3). In other words, even a perfect government won’t be able to satisfy all the hearts. People get outright excited with elections, believing that if a righteous, kind and compassionate government is established, the world would be better. The truth is that, even when this happens, there will be millions (perhaps billions) of people who will try to put it down. Have a nice day. Tomorrow we will carry on.

WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM (Part 1)? Perhaps you will ask: “but, after 1,000 years of a pure, perfect, just and holy reign, why will all the nations rebel against the Creator and His Holy City? Because they will desire to be and have more than what was prepared for them. It’s truth that, in all the world, there won’t be more wars and, finally, there will be righteous government who cares for people: • Isa 2:2-4 -> “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”. However, they will nurture envy in their heart when they go to Jerusalem in the appointed times: • Zec 14:16-19 -> “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.”. After all, the blessings to Jerusalem and the mount Zion will be marvelous and only for the Israelites: • Isa 11:1-9 -> “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”. Have a iridescent day. Tomorrow we will carry on.

WHO ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EXIST IN THE LAST TIMES? (Part 6) 3 – VIRGINS WHO WILL DIE WITHOUT REACHING DUE HOLINESS These fool virgins, although increase in holiness, they won’t reach sufficient sanctity. They il go to the hell where they will stay until the Judgment of the White Throne, when, finally, they will go to the lake of fire and sulfur where they will stay forever (Rev 14:10-11). 4 – VIRGINS WHO WILL SURVIVE UNTIL THE END OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION Here there will be two groups: “sheep” and “goats”. • Sheep: those virgins who will increase in ken and wisdom fearing the Creator and loving each other, always with alacrity to help those who suffer by the name of Jesus Christ; • Goats: those virgins who try to exert primacy on their other brethren (Jer 50:8), without caring for them. It is interesting to notice that Jesus, when He will separate the sheep of the goats, He will say to them that they did/didn’t help the fool virgins of Rev 6:9-11. This means that all of those got in touch with these. Here, we can learn that, even with the assistance of the sheep, the virgins of Rev 6:9-11 won’t be able to increase in love. Perhaps because of the disparaging of the goats. I don’t know if the love of the goats could change the reality of the virgins of Rev 6:9-11, but certainly could assuage their pain and to serve to turn the goats into sheep. But two things we can learn here: 1 – the human being is leaner to shore up on the evil than on goodness; 2 – who desire to take over the people, will focus on obliging them to do what is right before their eyes, instead of caring for them to the point of identify their breaches to, with this, dedicate their life to close them (Ezek 22:30). In the end: • the goats will go right into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels (the lake of fire and sulfur – Rev 20:10). • the sheep will be ushered in the millennium alive with their body of flesh and blood; The sheep will be the citizens of the millennium. Those who are Israelites will be brought by the non-Israelites to Jerusalem as offer to the Creator: • Isa 66:20 -> “And they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, on horses and in chariots and in litters and on mules and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”. The Israelites will stay in Jerusalem serving Jesus, who will rule the whole world along with the foolish virgins of the Rev 6:9-11. All the remain will go to spread for all the Earth which will become a unique continent. For a thousand years, all of them will enjoy the millennium under Jesus Christ. Many people will be born and die in the millennium. All of those who are of Israel will be saved (Rom 11:26). Among the non-Israelites, many will die in Christ and will be resurrected for occasion of the Judgment of the White Throne for eternal life. Those who die in rebellion against Christ (Isaiah 65:20) will go to the lake of fire and sulfur. Finally, the non-Israelites who stay alive after the millennium, will be enticed by Ha-Satan and will direct an attack against Jerusalem, coming to die (Rev 20:7-10). They will be resurrected for the lake of fire and sulfur.

WHO ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EXIST IN THE LAST TIMES? (Part 5) It comes the question: why is mentioned “glass mingled with fire”? To understand this, we need to see the following excerpt: • 1Co 3:12-15 -> “Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.” Each one of us are the Creator’s building. During the great tribulation, these fool virgins will try to edify each other. It is truth that the foundation of their life is Jesus and they will stay increasing in holiness; nonetheless, all the “gold, silver and precious stone” (the wise virgins) was used to make up the New Jerusalem (see Rev 21). The leftover material will be “wood, hay, straw”. Therefore, when each of these fool virgins try to use each other to edify themselves, what will happen is that each fool virgin will have, in their life, a building of “wood, hay, straw”. So when the Great Tribulation (the hour of the ordeal that will come about the whole world – Ap 3:10) arrive, all these buildings will be burned (similar to what it happened below): • Zec 3:2 -> “And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?”. • Amo 4:11 -> “I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me,” declares the LORD.”. • Jud 1:22 -> “And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.”. They will not receive reward because all their work in the lives of others will be burned. On the other hand, each one will be saved from the works of others in them through this fire. So, this part of the sea of glass is the judgment seat of Christ (Rom 14:10; 2Cor 5:10), where the fire will proof the work of everyone in order to give the right reward and, at the same time, save each one of the bad works that others built on them. Abridging: although they won’t receive reward for their works in the Great Tribulation, the fact of they stay engaging in work of love that they will show for with Jesus’ name in serving the saints (Heb 6:10) will be useful because: 1 – it will consume of their life the shakable material what was built on them; 2 – while they are trying to help each other in Jesus’ name, they are washing their robes in His blood and sanctifying themselves: By the way: other reason for which these fool virgins will have their works burnt is because they will try to save some of the wicked. Nonetheless, after the closing of the door of the grace (when Jesus raptures His Church), the virgins won’t become wicked and vice-versa (as we saw in Rev 22:11). Have a nice day. Tomorrow we will carry on.

“I don’t fear the shout of the tyrant, but the hush of the innocents”. Certain time I heard the statement above and I agree with it. Paul conveyed the same idea: • “Some indeed even preach Christ because of envy and strife, and some also of good will. Those, indeed, preach Christ out of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds. But these others preach in love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. What then? Nevertheless, in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And I rejoice in this. Yet, also I will rejoice. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,” (Phil 1:15-19). Although heresies and blasphemies are horrible, the worst is when the outspoken don’t reprove darkness’ works: • “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Eph 5:11). • “For there must also be heresies among you, that the approved ones may be revealed among you.” (1Co 11:19). The adversities are opportunities that Jesus grant us to manifest His presence to this world. We don’t have any reason to forgo the truth or get shy when it comes to stick up for it. On the contrary: it is those who are in murkiness that has to be ashamed of divulge their turpitude. Furthermore, as Paul said, through our prayer and the supply of the Holy Spirit we can quash all heresies and manifest the truth (leastwise for those who wish for it – 1Timothy 3:15). The weapons of the spirit are outright superior in power than darkness’ weapons. Nonetheless, while the fiendish people stay working their malice restless, the Creator’s people lose time with picayune things (see Luke 21:34,35). This is the reason for so many mess, mayhem and mishaps in our society. I know that the wicked tongue can be catastrophic (James 3:6): • “By the blessing of the upright the city is lifted up, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.” (Proverbs 11:11). • “Cast out the scorner, and fighting shall go out; yes, quarrels and shame shall cease.” (Pro 22:10). Notwithstanding, if we, staunchly, stick to Jesus and His word, and manifest His gospel with our life in every situation, never Jesus’ truth will vanish (Psalms 117:2). So, don’t matter the kerfuffles that people make around us. Have a good week don’t encumbering the Holy Spirit to use you. If you let His goodness and mercy (which are following you) to have a place in your life, certainly your hope won’t be thwarted (Proverbs 23:18).

WHO ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EXIST IN THE LAST TIMES? (Part 4) 2 – VIRGINS WHO WILL DIE NATURALLY, REACHING THE DUE HOLINESS THROUGH EXERCISE OF LOVE FOR NEIGHBOR These are the group of Rev 7:9-17 and Rev 15:2-4. These virgins will get victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name. That is to say, even with all the persecution of the “beast”, they won’t be slaughtered by “him”. Instead they will die in virtue of the judgment of the seven vials. Nonetheless, while they stay alive, they will help their brethren in the faith and, for this, will increase in ken and wisdom. This is the reason because these fool virgins were clothed with the acts of justice of the saints (on the contrary of the foregoing fool virgins who won’t care about it and, for this, only will be clothed nigh in the end of the Great Tribulation – Rev 6:11). These fools virgins will help people and, thereby, they will get ken and wisdom, beyond having their robes washed in Jesus’ blood, which will allow them to praise and serve the Creator until their death: • 1Jn 1:7 -> “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”. When they achieve the heaven, their robes will have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb and will stay before the throne of the Creator (in the sea of glass): 1 - serving Him day and night in His temple (and He that sits on the throne shall dwell among them). 2 - singing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” • Rev 7:16,17 -> “ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”. During all the millennium until the end of the Judgment of the White Throne, they will stay in heaven. When the news heaven and Earth is made, these virgins will come together with the New Jerusalem, probably inside it. It comes the question: why is mentioned “glass mingled with fire”? Have a splendid day. Tomorrow we will carry on.

WHO ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EXIST IN THE LAST TIMES? (Part 3) 1 – VIRGINS WHO WILL DIE BY THE BEAST, REACHING THE DUE HOLINESS, BUT WITHOUT EXERCISING LOVE Rev 6:9-11 and Rev 20:4 talk about these virgins, who will be beheaded during the Great Tribulation for the witness of Jesus they will borne, for the word of God, and because they will not worship the beast, neither his image, neither will receive his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. Nonetheless, recollect that this group is part of the 5 fool virgins who won’t have ken and wisdom sufficient to keep the presence of the Holy Spirit acting in them because they won’t worry about their “vessels”. So, these virgins will be condemned to stay in the outward darkness (Great Tribulation), until they being died for refusing to accept the beast and his mark. As they won’t learn the importance of loving their neighbor in order to get ken and wisdom from the Creator, when they die, they go to the Bosom of Abraham in Sheol which will only keep these virgins (at this time, all the Church will be raptured to the heaven). Although the period of the Great Tribulation is short, for those who will stay there, will appear to be a much great time inasmuch as, in the beginning of this time, there will be no consolation. So, considering that these fool virgins won’t increase their ken and wisdom through love, they won’t understand why the Creator, apparently, delay so much to exert judgment on the Earth. In other words, although these virgins kept the word of the Creator and the testimony of Jesus, as they won’t procure discernment and won’t have notion of time (in Sheol), after they are killed by the beast, they will stay astonished seeing many and many other fool virgins going to Sheol without any solace from the Creator. Hence the outcry of these souls in Revelation 6:10. Only nigh to the end of the Great Tribulation the Creator will allow them to be seen and heard under the altar of the incense in heaven (altar of prayers). And do you remember what will be their outcry? “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”. Note that there was no compassion or love, as there was in the prayer of Stephen when he was dying: • Act 7:60 -> “And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.”. Only then they will be clothed with the acts of justice of the saints (white robes – Rev 19:8), they will figure out the purpose of everything they suffered in the Great Tribulation and will be able to rest in the Sheol through the Living Word of the Creator ordaining rest for them. From then, they will stay in Sheol for an iota of time, until the other fool virgins who are destined to the same fate arrive there, namely, when Jesus come to establish the millennium. At this time, Jesus will resurrect them and bring them to the judgment of “goats” and “sheep” (with glorified body). Recall that, at this occasion, Jesus mentioned His little brothers (Mat 25:40-45). These virgins are His little brothers who will serve of testimony against them. Their presence in this judgment and during all millennium reigning with Christ will allow them to comprehend the importance of getting ken and wisdom through the exercise of the love for the neighbor. After the millennium and rebellion of Ha-Satan, these virgins will partake of the Judgment of the White Throne with Jesus. After this, Jesus will restore the Earth, making everything thoroughly new and these virgins will stay with Jesus seeing the New Jerusalem descending from the new heaven. Have a marvelous day. Tomorrow we will continue.

What has it being our relish? • “When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked are destroyed, there is singing.” (Pro 11:10). This should be taken place. Why haven’t being doable to see this in our society? Because, regrettably, the concepts and values have been altered during the years (see Daniel 7:25): • “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” (Isa 5:20). Today, it exists a conspiration against the good (as it came about in Israel): • “Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw, and it displeased Him that there was no judgment.” (Isa 59:15); • “Yea, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12). To exemplify, nowadays, people that work in TV (in special, actors and singers) are gratified with eulogies as if they were gods. And I question: what good did they do to anybody? On the contrary: movies, most of the times, outspread prostitution, witchcraft, violence. The soap operas, in particular, are expert in change rabble’s opinion. If, in the plot, a wife mistreat the husband and he know a woman that care for him, very soon people start to cheer so that the husband ditches the wife and adulterates with the lover. Not to mention that the role of the marriage has been weakened by the encomiums directed to the homosexuality and the easiness to get the divorce. And the worst is that, if someone decide to stick up for what is good and right before the Creator, in a jiffy the governors of this world arise against them until they recant; and, if they don’t, they try do discredit them before society in order to process them or, even, slaughter them. The history repeats. Although Jesus healed all diseases (including spiritual illness), most of those to whom He cured asked, later, His crucifixion. And what about us? Are we happy when the righteous prospers or do we take a grudge against them when they tell us off in virtue of a misdeed? May us not have anything to do with the people below: • “For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is destroyed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off; those who make a man guilty by a word, and lay a trap for the reprover in the gate, and turn aside the just for a worthless thing.” (Isa 29:20,21). So, may you have a week fraught of joy contemplating the destruction of the true evil.

The different ways of the Creator to show His care for His creation and how to have access to this. • “Will you hunt the prey for the lion, or fill the appetite of the young lions,” (Job 38:39); • “He gives the beasts their food, and to the young ravens which cry.” (Psa 147:9); • “Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God and wander about without food?” (Job 38:41). The Creator provides food, both to the small (that can be destroyed easily) and ferocious animals (which hardly ever will find help for the sake of its fierceness). See the case of the eagle: • “As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them and bears them on her wing,” (Deut 32:11) The Creator imparted it wisdom to know the exact moment that wherein it ought to urge their nestlings to learn how to fly and have sufficient love for not leaving them die trying to learn it. By the way: we can see Jesus’ love in almost all creation. Each male and female know how to care about their offspring and have zeal for it (even those animals that we consider disgusting or evil). The only exception that I know is the ostrich: • “The wing of the ostrich beats joyously; though not like the stork's pinions for flight. For she leaves her eggs to the earth, and lets them warm in the dust, and forgets that a foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may break them. She treats her young roughly, as if not hers; for her labor is vanity without fear; because God has caused her to forget wisdom, and He has not given her a share in understanding.” (Job 39:13-17). Nonetheless, despite this, until today the ostrich exists. The only explanation is that the Creator protects their nestlings. And not only this, He care about all abandoned nestling, whelp, cub, child: • “Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are forever before Me.” (Isa 49:15,16). As we can see, the only thing that can make us away from the care of the Creator is the turpitude: • “Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened so that it cannot save, nor is His ear heavy so that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have come between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing.” (Isa 59:2). • “I create the fruit of the lips; peace, peace, to him far off, and to him near, says Jehovah; and I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.” (Isa 57:19-21). It isn’t in vain that the Holy Scripture says: • “When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked are destroyed, there is singing.” (Proverbs 11:10). So, have a good day finding elation together with the righteous and seeking, first of all, that your heart can be Jesus’ kingdom where His justice flows as a mighty stream (Amos 5:24) and certainly His blessing will come on you and overtake you (Deut 28:1,2; Matthew 6:33).

This comes from not musing on the Holy Scripture and doesn't have experience with Jesus.

I don't believe that there is a place in the world where people never heard of Jesus.

What does it exactly mean to serve the Creator? Take a look at this excerpt: • “*They feared Jehovah* and served their own gods, according to the custom of the nations whom they removed from there. Until this day they do according to their former ways. *They do not fear Jehovah*, neither do they do according to their statutes, or according to their ordinances, or according to the Law and commandment which Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel.” (2Ki 17:33,34). After all, these people were serving the Creator or not (one verse says yes, another says no)? Probably they sacrificed to the Creator and take part in the cults offered to Him, but they didn’t comply with His commandments. They only looked on serving the Creator because He sent lions among them (2Ki 17.25). They followed the Creator in what it was convenient to them. I stayed mulling over what this priest taught to them: • “And one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria came and lived in Bethel. And he taught them how they should fear Jehovah.” (2Ki 17:28) The truth is that: • “A hypocrite corrupts his neighbor with his mouth; but through knowledge the just shall be delivered.” (Proverbs 11:9). Let’s take care with the places where it is offered praises and worships that is delightful to our flesh. The hypocrites feign to be what they are not—their life is a fiddle: • The selfish wears the costume of benevolence; • The false speaks the language of sincerity and truth; • They try to speak about peace when there is war in their heart (Ps 55:21). So, let’s have a good day walking toward the true wisdom of the Creator, even if what is preached is hard to hear. Many people excuse themselves saying that, if the word preached doesn’t bring to us peace, it isn’t from the Holy Spirit. Although the Creator is the God of the peace (Isaiah 9:6; 1Cor 14:33), He comes to us, at first, to convince us of the sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8). At this moment, His word will be a sword penetrating until our conscience (Hebrews 4:12). After being treated of the sin, certainly we will experience the true peace (John 14:27). So, be blessed serving the Creator doing what He concocted to you (which is a delight for your spirit, but most of the times is a torment to your sinful nature – Romans 7:22-25).

What were you created for? Were you created for receiving boons or for gathering garbage? • “For there must also be heresies among you, that the approved ones may be revealed among you.” (1Cor 11:19). • “Woe to the world because of offenses! For it is necessary that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!” (Mat 18:7). See that the evil exists and it is necessary to be done. For instance: 1 – For us to be saved, it was needed a Judas: • “And truly the Son of Man goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” (Luk 22:22). 2 – When Jesus comes again, will be necessary an antichrist to precede His coming: • “For God gave into their hearts to do His mind, and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the Words of God will be fulfilled.” (Rev 17:17). Both evil is necessary that the Holy Scripture says: • “Jehovah has made all for His purpose; yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” (Pro 16:4). • “Behold, I have created the smith who blows the coals in the fire, and who brings out a tool for his work; and *I have created the waster to destroy*.” (Isa 54:16) The question, however, is: who will occupy this office and carry out this role? • “The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his place.” (Proverbs 11:8). Are we in the group of those who will get rid of doing trouble or of those who will fill in for the righteous in this? Are we vessels of wrath or vessels of mercy? • “What if God, willing to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction; and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which He had before prepared to glory;” (Rom 9:22,23). Is Jesus, in our life, the Cornerstone or a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense? • “Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed. Therefore to you who believe is the honor. But to those who are disobedient, He is the Stone which the builders rejected; this One came to be the Head of the corner, and a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense to those disobeying, who stumble at the Word, to which they also were appointed.” (1Peter 2:6-8). So, the horse is prepared for the day of battle, but for you I wish a day full of peace of Jesus (not the “peace” of the world – John 14:27) and safe from collecting the trash of feud, anguish, malice, gossip, despair, etc. (Pro 21:31).

WHO ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EXIST IN THE LAST TIMES? (Part 2) THE WICKED After the rapture of the 5 wise virgins, they wouldn’t be able to repent, convert and be saved because the door of the grace will be closed: • Rev 22:11 -> “Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” As they aren’t written in the book of life, they will receive the mark of the beast and only will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived, hating and being hated, betraying and being betrayed (Isaiah 33:1; 2Tim 3:13; Titus 3:3). In virtue of the rapture, that is to say, when Jesus will come as thief in the night of the apostasy to “steal” their dear relatives and intimate friends, all these wicked people will get extremely angry at Jesus and will demand of the beast of the abyss that he ushers in his mark so that they can identify the fool virgins and torment and kill them (Rev 13:17,18). Finally, in the worst impulse of arrogance, they will defy Jesus in the battle of Armageddon, thinking that they will be able to kill Jesus, His followers and havoc His city (Jerusalem - Rev 19:19-21). However, they will die and be eaten by the birds of prey (Rev 19:17,21). Have a great day. Tomorrow we will keep on.

WHO ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EXIST IN THE LAST TIMES? (Part 1) BEFORE THE RAPTURE At the present moment, we have three groups of people: the 5 wise virgins, the 5 fool virgins and the wicked: • The 5 wise virgins are those who fill their lives with the ken and wisdom of the Creator mulling over the Holy Scripture, putting this into practice and, for this, being used for the Holy Spirit to save people; • The 5 fool virgins are those who, although keep themselves pure and holy, are dedicated to pore on the Holy Scripture and put Jesus’ teachings into practice and are used by the Holy Spirit, however they can’t be used by Him to manifest His power. And, as Paul said: o 1Co 2:4,5 -> “and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”. • The wicked are those who aren’t written in the book of life and, for this, are condemned. The things will be like this until Jesus comes to rapture His Church (three and a half days after the half of the seventieth week of Daniel). AFTER THE RAPTURE THE WISE VIRGINS When Jesus comes, the 5 wise virgins will be rapture to meet Him in the clouds and go to heaven, having his bodies transformed (1Cor 15:52). There, during the Great Tribulation here on Earth, these virgins will face the judgment seat of Christ, where each one will receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil (Rom 14:10; 2Cor 5:10). After this, in the end of the Great Tribulation, there won’t be more “5” isolated virgins praising the Creator, but only one Bride, with who the Lamb will marry. Understand: after the judgment seat of Christ, everything that was hidden will be revealed and clarified and with this, all that disunited them will be destroyed. Thereby, there will be perfect union, a unique Bride. Then, Christ will marry His Bride, who will become, then, His Wife. During all the millennium, the Church will be with His Husband in the heaven assisting, praising and worshipping the Creator and, at the same time, watching Jesus reigning in Jerusalem. When the millennium finishes, will occur the rebellion of Ha-Satan, his defeat and the Judgment of the White Throne wherein the Church, from heaven (with the Creator) will judge the angels (1Cor 6:3) and the twelve apostles, the twelve tribes of Israel (Mat 19:28). After the Judgment of the white throne, the Wife of the Lamb (the New Jerusalem) will descend from heaven to Earth (Rev 21:2). Have a nice day. Tomorrow we will carry on.

Be careful not to walk toward a loss! “When a wicked man dies, his hope shall perish; and the hope of evil ones shall be lost.” (Proverbs 11:7). Don’t walk with losers, that is to say, the wicked, so that you don’t learn his ways and get a snare to your soul (Proverbs 22:25; Jeremiah 10:2). Certainly, they will pass away, their expectance will succumb and their followers will fall into the pit: “Woe to the rebellious sons, says Jehovah, who make advice, but not of Me; and who cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they add sin to sin; those who set out to go down to Egypt and have not asked at My mouth; to take refuge in the strength of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! *Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your curse*.” (Isa 30:1-3). “Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because it is great; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Jehovah! Yet He also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back His Words, but *will arise against the house of evil-doers and against the help of those who work iniquity*. And Egypt is a man, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not Spirit. *When Jehovah shall stretch out His hand, both he who helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall down, and they shall all cease together*.” (Isa 31:1-3). “And he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. For before these days Theudas rose up, boasting himself to be somebody; a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves to him; who was slain. And *all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered and brought to nothing*. After this one, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the Registration, and drew away considerable people after him. Yet that one perished; and all, *as many as obeyed him, were scattered*.” (Acts 5:35-37). “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Mat 15:14). So, have a great day being staunch to the truth, justice and goodness. This will be your warrant that your way will be known by the Creator (Psalms 1:6) and straightened (Proverbs 3:6).
