all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
The light of the body is in the eyes, people who cannot or will not perceive this understanding don’t have that same light also alluded to in Daniel Chapter 12,
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:3
Its nothing more than arrogance that blinds their understanding, they expect the Word (Jesus) can be divided by some ingenuity around their own intelligence and yet they still arrive at the end with no apparent spiritual discernment, ever learning but never able to obtain the knowledge they desperately need. It requires the Holy Spirit to fully understand, to show us those things which are still to come,
Those ‘having a form of godliness, but deny the power’ that is, they have every appearance of understanding and worshiping the creator, but cannot acknowledge his spirit in all power, operating directly in front of them, for example prophecy as a direct witness, they see flesh instead of his influence or even that of seducing spirits at work all around them operating as ‘principalities and powers’
We’re told how things will be at the end of the age:
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
The book of Revelation was written in the spirit, from Gods point of view not ours and it requires his spirit to understand and then it will take you to every other book of the bible to see where these patterns repeat, showing us the things which were, which are, and finally what will be. Anywhere it does not repeat it’s immediately explained. However many will take just one pattern and presume it to be complete when its merely a shadow of what is still to come as a witness to a much larger audience,
Satan rules this world, it belongs to him because we gave it to him, today he stands in Heaven and accuses the brethren (the Church) as we are operating in the spirit within his physical authority over the Earth, he has authority over the flesh for now.
Jesus came ‘as it is written‘ but instead was rejected and everything in the flesh was taken from him, his inheritance, his vineyard, this world, it was all stolen from him even his very clothes were taken before he hung on the cross, but where Satan meant it for evil, God meant it for good,
Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father (until) ‘the fulness of the Gentiles’ be come in, when the Father reclaims this physical Earth with the Jubilee restoration of all things, then the court in Daniel Chapter 7 and Revelation Chapters 4 and 5 will render it to the one who has the greater claim to perform the Kinsman redeemer provisions. We can be assured that he will choose to do so and will summarily reclaim this physical Earth from the usurpers, it will be a day of vengeance on the Earth, the vengeance of his Temple (him) not of some stone building once on the Earth.
It’s interesting that many seem to think the following verse was written as an end-time comment from outsiders, read it carefully, these are believers doing the mocking:
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” 2 Peter 3:3-4
These are also the same ones without oil in their lamps when the bridegroom comes ‘ at midnight there was a cry made‘ with a shout and the trump of God, instead they’re rebuked by him and left standing outside ‘and the door was shut.’
Then Peter goes on to quote Psalm 90 explaining again that a thousand years is as one day, and I tell you that it has only been two days since the Church began in the spirit and the last days began with Peter as he quotes from Joel on Pentecost in 32 AD.
