"Re: Wade Balzer, Revelation
13: 18"
Very well done, sir.
The closer we get to our Lord's appearing, the more distinct
and sharper are the focusing of the lines between the wolves and the true
sheep. They have gotten away with their disguise for a long time but it
is coming down to a sort of showdown of late it seems.
Specifically, I am currently prayerfully considering
how to respond (or not) to one such wolf (apparently a long time pastor
of a Christian church) who has chosen to attack me on the basis of something
that I have written, (which said writing was from my book and not directed
at this person at all) which was never meant to be a personal attack on
anyone, but merely a sharing of insights that I have received from God.
In a scathing e mail he has called me many things and demonstrated a spirit
like that which you have pointed out will characterize the last days' false
prophet / Antichrist antics.
I do not wish to post his tirade to me on the Doves at
this time for it would only cause more strife, but I do feel that others
at some point should be made aware of this individual. But being in the
very midst of this situation right now, and reading your very insightful,
and timely post, I wanted to encourage you and tell you that I am proof
of what you are describing as certainly genuine and happening in our midst
right now. Things of an eternal nature are going on daily with us all.
James 3:
11. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place
sweet water and bitter?
12. Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive
berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water
and fresh.
13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge
among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness
of wisdom.
14. But if ye have bitter envying and strife
in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15. This wisdom descendeth not from above,
but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16. For where envying and strife is, there
is confusion and every evil work.
17. But the wisdom that is from above is
first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown
in peace of them that make peace.
