Ministry of Paradise

God has given his word that the habitation of life on this earth will come to an End (Acts 17:24-26). However, God has given human beings the promise of eternal life through his only begotten Son JESUS in New Heavens and a New Earth (John 3:16-18). Unfortunately, very unfortunately, untold numbers of people refuse to believe the word of God. Who would’net want to live forever in New Heavens and a New Earth? All we have to do is to believe and come to repentance of our sins. “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved at the end of time. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” (Romans 10:9–11). Jesus says: Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall ...

“O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD” (Jeremiah 22:29). “Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God” (Psalm 50:2, 23). Jesus says: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

Today, there is seemingly a “comfort zone” in this technology centred generation that humans are in control of their own destiny. There are even TV advertisements asking: “Where will you be when the first man lands on Mars?” However, do not be fooled because time as this word is read is literally passing away towards the End (Revelation 11:18). Jesus preached throughout his brief mission here on earth, and is still relevant to this today, saying: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). However, these words are being ignored more so today because there are so many distractions with the launch of the next technological gadget. Now is the time to repent and believe the gospel because it is written: “For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Therefore, “Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of ...

Whatever we face this day, let us be reminded the Holy Scriptures says: “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:11-12).

Jesus says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you” (2 Peter 3:13-15).

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of man, that he should repent” (Numbers 23:19). “And in the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained” (Acts 17:30-31). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17).

Fashion hits and misses, awesome moments, sweetist photographs and so on on the red carpet of another awards show. “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Corinthian 13:11). Words cannot begin to describe such childishness or silliness, because there is so much suffering, starvation and sorrow by countless people in this world where over one billion people live on the edge of poverty.   “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come” (1 Timothy 6:17–19). “For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul; al...

Absolutely nothing will be remembered of this world because the word of God says: “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind” (Isaiah 65:17). Jesus says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). Therefore, “Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16). “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger” (Zephaniah 2:3).

Jesus says: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23–24); and “When ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matthew 6:7-8). Jesus taught us to pray saying: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.   Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.   And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.   And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (Matthew 6:10-13).

How we maneuver through the traffic in a lifetime will determine where we end up on the Last Day (John 12:48). Jesus says: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21). “The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath” (Proverbs 15:24).

We are to stay focused in the right direction. With our knowledge and understanding of the word of God, we are not to let the busy traffic of this life turn us in the wrong direction toward the lusts, pleasures, and cares of this life in this world. How we maneuver through the traffic in a lifetime will determine where we end up on the Last Day. Jesus explained that we must not “Let the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word and it becometh unfruitful” (Mark 4:19). “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the Last Day” (John 12:48).

If we know to be obedient to traffic laws: Keep right; No U turn, No left turn and so on; surely then, we must obey the commandments of God. “I AM the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:2–3). “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” (Exodus 34:14). “Thus saith the LORD; ‘Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD’” (Jeremiah 17:5). Jesus says: “It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4).

The Holy Scriptures says: “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” (Hebrews 10:38–39). “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD” (Lamentations 3:25-26).

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time” (1 John 2:18). “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” (2 John 1:7). “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4). Jesus explained, saying: “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)” (Matthew 24:15). Jerusalem will be front and center of events foreshadowing the coming end of the world (Matthew 24...

Jerusalem will be the center of the coming end of time! “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” (Matthew 23:37-39). “AND Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (Matthew 24:1-3). “When ye there...

With the recent decision by the United States to move its Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is without any doubt signs of the time ticking toward the End. “AND Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (Matthew 24:1-3). What then is the key sign? Jesus says: “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)” (Matthew 24:15). “And when ye shall see [JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES], then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let t...

There is only one way to ontain eternal life and to escape this heaven and earth at the end of the world (Matthew 24:1-3) (Matthew 25:31–34, 41 46). There is only one Savior, and he is the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18, 8:36), “the Christ of God” (Luke 9:20). His name is JESUS, and he says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

We only have a lifetime on this earth; we do not have life. To obtain life; we need a Savior: the only begotten Son of God: Jesus. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

Being alive on this earth does not mean that we have life: this is only a lifetime. “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:2–3). Now, therefore, “as the only way to get the things that are eternal is through Jesus Christ who died for us; for this purpose then we should live unto him and not unto ourselves” (2 Corinthians 5:15).   “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:21–22).

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever” (Psalm 23:1, 4, 6). Jesus says: “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kin...

Jesus says: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

Jesus says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:15–17).

To be a friend of this world is to be a friend of the prince of this world, the devil, aka Satan. “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19). Let us be reminded of these words spoken to his disciples by our Lord, Savior and King Jesus saying: “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil” (John 7:7). “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you” (John 15:18-19). “He that hateth me hateth my Father also” (John 15:23). “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

As we go to sleep at night, expecting to awake to another day, so too we are to be joyful today that once Jesus is in our life, when we die (or rather fall into that long sleep), we will awake in Jesus Christ on the Last Day (Daniel 12:2) (Revelation 20:12–15). “Wherefore he saith: ‘Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light’” (Ephesians 5:14). “Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart” (Psalm 97:11). “The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever” (Psalm 37:18).

In the last years of time: “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand” (Daniel 12:10). “They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever” (Daniel 12:3).

Time as we read this word is ticking away; literally ticking away. As a movie clicking away at the last frames which will soon end, or as water pouring out of a glass which will become empty, so too one day time will run out and this earth will pass away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10). “Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof” (Isaiah 24:1). “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, ‘It is done.’” (Revelation 16:17–18, 20–21). There is no stopping time, changing time, or reversing time because at the set time, habitation on this earth will end (Revelation 11:18). Therefore, for those who have not have already do so, do as Jesus said: “Repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15) because he warned when he comes back many will be forever cast into outer darkness (Matthe...

On that day when Jesus returns the word of God says: “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth” (Revelation 11:18). “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:31-32). “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

Unfortunately, very unfortunately, the word of God of warning of the coming end of time is being too easily dismissed by untold numbers of people in this world (Revelation 6:12-14. 11:18). Jesus warns that his coming is going to be just as in the days of Noah and Lot when people of those generations believed that nothing was going happen but, it did (Matthew 24:37) (Luke 17:27–29). On that day when Jesus returns the word of God says: “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth” (Revelation 11:18). “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and i...

Absolutely no one knows when will be the Last Day, the end of the world, and the coming of our Lord, Savior and King Jesus who says: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36). However, Jesus says: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (Matthew 24:32-34). “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42). “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:20-21).

Unfortunately, there are many false doctrines and people holding on to false beliefs that they are going to get to heaven before the Last Day: the Day of Judgment. Do not be deceived!   “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Jesus Christ says: “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the Last Day” (John 12:48). “But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37). Believe the truth! “We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth” (2 Corinthians 13:8). ...

“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all” (Psalm 103:19). Jesus says: “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7). “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah” (Psalm 46:4, 87:3). All who obtain passage to Paradise at the end of time will then become full citizens of Heaven and will be equal as angels (Philippians 3:21–21) (Luke 14:12–14) (Luke 20:36). In John’s vision of the end of time after the great tribulation he saw the vision in heaven: “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Revelation 7:9).

DO NOT BE DECEIVED! REFUSE THE MARK OF THE BEAST! (Revelation 13:15-18). “And the Devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:11). “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:11).

In the Seventh world kingdom it will be a world where every thing is connected in what is known as he “internet of things”. Furthermore, to gain access to anything, a person must ‘prove that you’re you’. Welcome to the blockchain! Every person would require a blockchain-based ID to verify that the person is whom they claim to to be. Sounds familiar??? In the Revelation of Jesus Christ as given to the angel to John he said: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Revelation 13:15). “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17). Should we be alive when this time comes let us be reminded of the words of...

The end of days of this earth, the last years of time, will be known by the indisputable events taking shape when there will come in that time a rise to power of one ruler over this whole earth. When this event comes to pass, the last years on this earth will begin to count down to the end of time (Revelation 13-16-17, 14:11. 17:11). Since the beginning of time, there have been to date six worldly kingdoms on this earth headed by six kings: Egypt (1 Kings 14:25–26), Assyria (2 Kings 17:5–6), Babylon (2 Kings 25:1, 8–9), Persia (2 Chronicles 36:23), Greece (Daniel 8:21, 11:2), and Rome (John 19:15). In John’s vision of the end of time, he revealed these world kingdoms when he saw the kings: “And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is” (Revelation 17:10). There is one last world kingdom headed by two wicked kings to come at the end of time (Daniel 8:23–24) (Daniel 11:36–37); the eighth being the devil, aka, Satan. “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eig...

As a servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will faithfully carry out the work that this Ministry is called to do. It is pointless for any organization or individual to try to hide or bury the truth because “We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth” (2 Corinthians 13:8). The events unfolding around the world are a clear indication pointing in the direction of the eventual rise of the seventh and last world kingdom given the fact that mounting debts in all the world economies are unsustainable for future growth. For this reason, there will be a paradigm shift to bring about a new world kingdom led by the major economic powers on this earth. The current trend in the fading away of embossed credit cards with the simultaneous release of number less credit card cards is a clear indication of the coming electronic currency based new economy. This is confirmed in the testimony of Jesus sent by the angel to John in his vision of the end of time: “And he causet...

Without a doubt, it is coming! “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17). This is the beginning: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/amazon-set-to-open-its-grocery-store-without-a-checkout-line-to-the-public/ar-AAuYDML?li=BBnb7Kz For those alive, as unique, ubiquitous, and unthreatening as this new world order system may appear to be, do not to give in to despair, desperation, and dire circumstances that will in the last years of time come upon this earth; we are not to throw our hands up in the air to receive the mark in our hand or in our forehead.   God forbid. For those who will receive this mark, it will be unfaithfulness to God. Simply, those receiving the mark will have made a choice to worship the gods of this world whose end...

 Jesus says: “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be” (Matthew 12:24-26). “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).

A week or so ago much has been proclaimed about “Times up” at a recent well known awards show. Without any doubt indeed the word  of God tells that when “the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan … into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:9} down to this earth he knows that he has a short time (Revelation 12:12). When our Lord, Savior and King Jesus Christ was here he said: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32). “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Indeed “Time is ticking away” ! “For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3)...

Who is going to Heaven? Jesus says: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13–14). “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1). “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Galatians 6:7–8).

My heart desires to see and to be with God. “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). Jesus, the only begotten Son of God says: “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him” (Matthew 11:27). “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8-9).

In recent years many movies were made, and continuing to this day, about epedemics, pandemics and contagions. Jesus warned that the time will come one day when indeed there will be pestilences (Matthew 24:6-8). “All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8); “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
