"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.
