Shalom dear doves,

Please don't miss this letter, as it may NOT be ... just 'another
perspective'.  This could be an earnest warning to us from Heaven re.
the promised judgment, ... promised to firstly begin 'at 'the house of
God.'

1Pe 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house
of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them
that obey not the gospel of God?
 

Doesn't the Lord want us to understand that His faithful love is NOT
as the world loves?

Eph 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it ...

1Co 11:32  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that
we should not be condemned with the world.

1Co 11:30  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

De 8:5  Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

Ps 94:12,13 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and
teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the
days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

Ps 118:18  The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me
over unto death.

Pr 3:11,12  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be
weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even
as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Heb 12:5-11 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto
you as unto children,

My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what
son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without
chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not
sons.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and
we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto
the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days
chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we
might be partakers of his holiness.

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
 

Shalom shalom,

David
