The following three verses not only make it very clear to us once again that we must absolutely keep God's commandments, but also that towards the end of the last days it will be a great danger not to keep them or not to want to keep them. Because the temptations and afflictions will become so strong and many will not be strong enough to resist them; because their house is not built on rock. The third angel of the three angels' message also warns against this and admonishes and encourages us to be patient, to wait for God to save us and, if necessary, to die for Jesus, but to hold on to Him and trust in Him and not to accept the Mark of the Beast, etc..: "The smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and those who worship the beast and his image have no rest day or night, and those who receive the mark of his name. 12 Here is the steadfast endurance of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus!" (Revelation 14, 11-12 according to Schlachter2000 www.bibleserver.com/SLT/Offenbarung14%2C11-12) "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus." (Revelation 12:17 according to Luther2017 www.bibleserver.com/LUT/Offenbarung12%2C17) "Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but Keeping God's commandments." (1 Corinthians 7:19 according to Luther2017 www.bibleserver.com/LUT/1.Korinther7%2C19) That is why 2G is the great danger, and the direct reference to vaccination as well as the connection to the "Rev13 time", because even shortly before the 3rd coming of Jesus this will make the difference: which commandments one follows. This will show whether they are disciples of Jesus or followers of Satan and the false Messiah. But with 2G, we are already no longer keeping God's commandments today and instead follow the commandments of the world; and we do so willingly! And there is even another great danger, namely that we allow ourselves to be deprived of what God has promised us: eternal life! And we allow this to be taken away from us if we fall away completely from the faith. If we have not yet submitted/surrendered our lives to God and the cross has not yet reached its goal - because that is the goal of the cross - we can also lose our faith completely. If we are too selfish and do not want to continue on the path but remain as we are, we are not acting wisely but foolishly. Because then we can easily fall as a result of the devil's temptations; and so what God has promised us through faith can be taken away from us again. Dear brothers and sisters, do not be deceived. If we (want to) implement or "only" support 2G, we have already fallen away from the faith for God, because then we are no longer following His teaching of love, we are even directly opposing it and that in His house, in His name. We have not yet declared that Jesus is no longer our Lord, but in fact He no longer is, because we no longer follow His teaching - the core of the teaching - or as Paul said: If we no longer follow His gospel (God is love and this love is shown to us perfectly in Jesus Christ, through whom God Himself has reconciled with us and removed the separation between Him and us, indeed even between His children), we have fallen away from the faith; for there is only one gospel and the core is: God is love and therefore we should also serve one another in love. John also emphasized this again and again, and it was true of the one "whom the Lord loved". But if we fall away from this teaching, and not "only" through mere doubt towards God, which can happen from time to time, but towards others who seek God or have already become His children and reject them or even want to separate ourselves from them, even though they come to God in faith and want to do nothing more than be with God, celebrate Him and hear from Him or even ask for help from Him, and if we then remain on this wrong path that turns away from love, we have fallen away from the faith. Because we no longer follow the gospel or who could seriously claim and biblically explain that what we are living is still the gospel? But what is our faith based on if not on the Bible and is it not the Word of God? Yes, it is not only based on His Word, but it is also nourished by it. God's Word is as important for us as fresh air is for breathing; without fresh air, we first become weak and then we suffocate. Oxygen is important for our brain and our heart because it is important for our blood, and so is God's Word; yes, it is our blood and our heart should be like His heart - two hearts that are one. If we want to pass on the good news, shouldn't we live it accordingly? But how can we proclaim it if we behave as if we do not know God at all? Is God not love? But of course He is, and therefore very patient! And that is also why the sealing time has seven seals and not just one or two, not to mention the further time of judgment and the many thousands of years before that. If God had already allowed the coming of the anti-Christ today, the churches/communities would not be able to stand firm in far too many places but would fall like dominoes, one after the other, and fall away from the faith and gradually collapse completely because they have still not recognized this great truth in all its depth, breadth and height and live accordingly. The truth that everything arises from God's love, encompasses everything and that everything should also be clothed in this love, which cannot be greater. Yes, that we should wear a garment of love because this should be our heartbeat, because this is the heartbeat of God. But in many places that refer to Jesus as Lord, this holy truth is unfortunately not yet deeply rooted. This has also been shown more than clearly by the Corona period so far and is a sad realization but also an important warning: be built on rock. Otherwise, you will not be able to stand firm, let alone be a good worshipper or a blessing to many! Because that is the core of God's word: God is love. Reflected and practised in the Lord's Supper, which we should celebrate(!) together again and again; to strengthen our faith. This is the time to wake up, to reflect on the root(s) and to be strengthened by this root. And with this, another great mystery will also become visible at the end of time, which will strengthen many immensely for the time of the Anti-Christ (instead of Christ). For before the 3rd coming of Jesus, he comes first; because he must come. But God is grace and therefore we also have time to turn back to Him if we repent of what we have done; today and also later in the time of the second and third time of judgment, which will follow this sealing time. But of course it is better and more profitable for everyone - including ourselves - not to fall into this trap(s) in the first place and not to fall away from God but to listen to Him and follow Him. But if we follow 2G then we should also ask ourselves whether the Spirit of God already dwells in us at all; for this does not serve Him to His glory. And if the Spirit of God does not (yet) dwell in us, we will of course not be raptured either. Because the cross has not yet reached its destination. and must go through the judgments that follow, as well as the great tribulation. For this also happens to them for salvation: "And one of the elders answered and said to me, 'Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and from where have they come? 14 And I said to him, 'My lord, you know. And he said to me, "These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:13-14 according to Luther2017 www.bibleserver.com/LUT/Offenbarung7%2C13-14) But Jesus has also promised us protection from the seduction of the Antichrist and the time of great tribulation (Rev 3:10), because He does not want us to suffer. So this is also a great danger for many and something that they allow to be taken away from them. So it is not just one great danger associated with the vaccination, but several great dangers that Jesus warns us about in the message. 1) We do not keep the commandments (no longer want to keep them; more on this in a moment). 2) We cannot be raptured and must continue to go through the time of judgment, as well as the great tribulation ("Revelation 13 time"). 3) We even allow eternal life to be taken away from us. Because in these seductive times we become a part/follower of the whore of Babylon and turn away completely from Jesus and His teaching. (More on this in 6, "The way and purpose of darkness" and 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 bibleserver.com/SLT/2.Thessalonians2%2C7-12) Supplement to 1) Why do we no longer want to keep God's commandments? Because we are afraid of Corona or of the world against which we do not want to stand, and even turn it so far into the opposite that we see it as an act of charity to serve them, even if we exclude other people, even our brothers and sisters, or "only" contribute to their exclusion. Those whom we should actually love first, be there for them and strengthen in faith, we attack and separate ourselves from them or reject them. Love is growing cold, but in truth it has long since grown cold and this coldness of love is now being exposed by God. Because a) we are not (yet) in love and b) we are therefore too weak to trust in Him, because c) we have not done our homework and have all too often failed to keep the highest commandment, the love of God (also the parable of the 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins) or d) our heart is (still) too broken and we need pastoral help, so that it is completely healed and we can keep the love of God in our hearts and live accordingly, because Satan has done a lot of work here, or e) we have possibly not yet become a child of God, which would then also explain a, b and c. So God has not yet taken up residence in us; God has therefore not yet been able to take up residence in us and therefore also not His great love and the trust that arises from it. We do not trust in God because we do not (or no longer) know how much He actually loves us and instead listen to Satan's disinformation campaign. But that's what it's all about (1 Peter 1:6-7; recommend the translation of the Basic Bible: www.die-bibel.de/bibeln/online-bibeln/lesen/BB/1PE.1/1.-Petrus-1), because that's what it's all about: do we love God, who died for us in agony on the cross to free us from the dominion of sin and give us a new life - even eternal life - or do we rather love the world, which still denies and kills Him every day and is therefore now failing. Because it kills and does not love; first God and then people. The answer should be quite simple, but for many it clearly is not. If we exclude others, even our own brothers and sisters, from our churches etc., we no longer keep the commandments. It's that clear and that simple! But it is also so far-reaching and deep that it reaches into the very core of the church and I will go into this in more detail elsewhere. However, vaccination is not the great danger for God, He is concerned with the spiritual danger. God is always concerned with spiritual dangers that He wants to keep away from us; for His glory and for our good. Vaccination is much more like firewood that is used to light a great fire and what then burns and is destroyed by this fire are God's commandments! That is why it is so important to emphasize vaccination so clearly and to focus on it at the same time. Because that is the focus: inoculation (as the trigger) and God's commandments (as the target of destruction). And that is Satan's secret plan, as the first two quotes above remind us once again. For man is to follow his commandments and not God's commandments, because they are to honor/worship him and not God. It is not entirely uninteresting that many politicians are already talking about commandments in relation to the coronavirus measures. But we should, of course, be careful not to accuse them of anything evil. Because they probably don't know who they are serving. And a conflict would not be expedient either, but the truth should always be at the center: that we will break God's commandments on this path and therefore cannot continue on this path under any circumstances - because God is truth and God is love! It is more effective to clearly draw attention to the dangers of the vaccination route and to use the word vaccination route, but not to make vaccination as such a danger, because that is not God's concern either. The fact that it is also associated with physical dangers is also important, because that is the reason why we cannot demand it from anyone or even make it a condition for participation in worship or other events in God's house or with God's children, but that is not the decisive point. Everyone is free to follow this path and everyone can only follow the path they are able to follow. However, they must then also live with the consequences that result. That is why it is important to keep encouraging and reminding people of God's word, and of course to live by it ourselves, but that is all we can do. Because if we stay on the path of vaccination then we also come into these great spiritual danger(s), and it becomes all the more difficult to leave this path again, because the afflictions do not become less. Therefore, it is advisable not to go or even follow it in the first place and to leave it as quickly as possible if you have already entered it. So that we do not end up being completely corrupted and perishing in these dangers. And I don't need to tell you, dear brothers and sisters, that it is wonderful to trust in God and that this only brings wonderful side effects. Nor do I need to tell you how important it is that we support and edify one another in our faith. Because you know all this. That's why it's so important for everyone involved to take the right path. Especially in this situation, we should ask ourselves once again whether we are a role model, the light of the world, and whether we are therefore also serving the world for salvation if we withhold from them the right path that we should know - to look to God, to trust and to act in love - even in this situation, indeed especially in this situation. How are they supposed to be able to walk the right path if we can't walk it? But if they (cannot) go it, then they will go their worldly way, with all the cruelties that go with it, because they can't do it any other way. Because they have removed God from their equation of life, they cannot solve the task any other way. Unvaccinated people, or those who refuse further vaccinations, will be excluded more and more and we will be asked to do more and more of the same. Because there will be no vaccination path without compulsory vaccination/proof; because nobody will stop the first seal! But the first rider "went out victoriously and to conquer"; because it had to happen. This is very important to understand, dear brothers and sisters. You know that we live in an ungodly world/society that increasingly only wants to follow its own will. And that is why we also have to decide, but haven't we already done so: do we serve Jesus and His holy plan of love and life or Satan and his diabolical plan of subordination by force and therefore death? Do you know the two maxims? Satan says: Do what you want! Jesus says: I will seek your will, my Father, for I will honor you! This is the test: are we on the side of God or on the side of the world; do we serve God or man alone? But if we serve God, we serve people. For those who live on earth will do what is necessary in their eyes to reduce the danger - what they see as the great danger (carnal-minded) - as much as possible and get it under control. And if we do not clearly speak out against this path, and we do so by living and exemplifying it differently in every respect, we cannot even hold it against them. Because it is not them who have failed, but us. And as a consequence, the afflictions will then also increase on us. Paul predicted this time. Before the 3rd coming of our Lord and friend, the day of the Lord (2 Thessalonians 2:3 www.bibleserver.com/LUT/2.Thessalonicher2%2C3), he prophesied a great falling away from the faith. And now we also know when and why it will happen. Now is the time of the great apostasy because it is the time of judgment - which must happen - but many are still far too worldly-minded and therefore too weak to behave properly in it: according to Jesus' teaching; because they have not built on rock (God/faith), as Jesus also taught in the parable of building a house and warned us not to build on sand. Yet far too many have built on sand. But we are not only the house of the Lord but also the light of the world, dear brothers and sisters, and may know that God loves to help and even to save, because He loves everyone; but even more so His children - us - so do not be afraid! We live in a great time; if we trust in God. And if we do that and live it as a result, we will bring many blessings and reap, reap, reap! So let us live to the glory of God and be a blessing to all who look to us. For God gave us a new heart and put His Spirit in it to begin a new time with us; a time of love and life for eternity. Unfortunately, we often forget that we are actually "only" worshippers - above all else we are worshippers - because we were created for God's glory, dear brothers and sisters! (Isaiah 43:7) And that is why Jesus himself should have the last word on this: "Is it not written in the scriptures that God has declared: My temple shall be a place where all nations (all) can pray to me? But you have made it a den of thieves!" (Mark 11:17 according to GNB www.bibleserver.com/GNB/Markus11%2C17)
