John and all the Doves,
    WAITING in FAITH is all that we have right now!....and THIS is the Patience of the Saints!

Rev 13:10  He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

....Those that attempt to control others or even their own circumstances, will be held accountable and brought into captivity(bound, vexed or even deceived by their own desires and lust). We must walk in this world as "Gentle Lambs", not seeking the hurt or control over any others, nor even our own circumstances!

....Those that pick up a weapon of any kind or attempt to defend themselves(or others) in any way by the use of violence, either verbal or physical, will they themselves be subject to the same. And this is NOT Christ's way.


Rev 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

....Our PRIMARY commandment from God the Father is the we "believe on the ONE He sent", His Son, Christ Jesus. And, FAITH of and in Jesus means "walking as He walked" as per: John 2:5 and 6(also this passage comes immediately after a description of those who "allow" themselves to be deceived and worship the beast and his system via the "mark", whatever that may be)

1Jn 2:5  But whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
1Jn 2:6  He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

....This WORD is the WORD of Yeshuah and His "new" commandment was that we should and would LOVE ONE ANOTHER! Obedience to all the old law of Moses will be a natural outcome of this one true command of our Master, Brother, Father, Advocate and Husband...JESUS.

Lets be patient in LOVING ONE ANOTHER and all else will simply fall into place...we do have THIS simplicity in Christ.
