2001.09.1.08 America --> Afghanistan --> The World What To Do? Created by James3 on 7/20/2019 8:00:55 AM America --> Afghanistan --> The World What To Do?
BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
ABSTRACT: This article further evaluates how Believers in particular and the world in general should respond to the events of 11 September 2001.
Three specific messages received by the writer provide perspectives on the situation. The first, highlights the tendency to arrogant self righteousness of Christian and Messianic believers toward others. The second succinctly presents the anger of Americans towards the perpetrators of the attacks. The third, by a former Afghan highlights the desperate situation in Afghanistan and the realities of any attempt to attack the alleged perpetrators of the attacks in that country.
Various key issues are highlighted arising out of these messages. These include the need for Believers in Yahshua Messiah to deal with the tree trunks in their own eyes and stop criticising one another and other groups in order to bring the good news of peace to all nations and the need to realise that any attempt to use force against the alleged perpetrators will almost certainly lead to war.
It is noted that with Yom Kippur only days away we are faced with the very real prospect of a world war commencing on that day which will see ALL the children of Israel, including the United States and Europe who are all descended from the exiles from the Northern of Kingdom of Israel ranked against the children of Ishmael.
Believers MUST focus on seeking unity through seeking truth and must take the good news of Yahweh's Kingdom to ALL people!

END TIME / GLOBAL CONTEXT
This article is provided in the context of the events in the USA on 11 September 2001 with a view to building a clear understanding of the spiritual situation.
Drawing on three specific messages received in the last week it offers a synthesis based on many other messages and News reports which suggests that unless clear and effective action is taken BY BELIEVERS in the near future, a global war in fulfillment of Ezekial 39 is almost inevitable with the sons of Israel, including the United States and Europe, ranked against the sons of Ishmael - the Muslim world!
In the days following the tragic events of 11 September 2001 we have all wrestled to grasp the enormity of what happened and where it is going. Press coverage reported virtually no survivors after the first twenty four hours. People of over sixty nations included in the victim count. Eighteen hijackers on the four flights trained in various skills in the U.S.A., Germany and elsewhere. Evidence that there were to have been a significant number of additional attacks.
Talk of "war" started within twenty four hours and, at the time of writing, the President of the United States has given an ultimatum to the Government of Afghanistan and they have responded with an outright refusal to comply and made counter threats.
In parallel with this there has been a flurry of activity amongst believers with a wide variety of emails being published on numerous lists expressing opinions, etc.
End Time Issue Ministries have, in turn, issued a number of in depth articles addressing various aspects working toward gaining an understanding of the response that Yahweh requires of Believers with a view to formulating an effective coordinated role for believers around the world to take an active stance in intercession and communication to assist world leaders turn back to Yahweh and to Yahweh's way of doing things.
Within this context, we have received a number of emails which characterise, for us, some of the critical aspects in the NATURAL rather than spiritual realm relating to these events. Two of these are included in this document.
There have also been several articles condemning Islam. Vitriolic is the only way to describe them. In some cases the spiritual pride, self righteousness and outright judgmental condemnation of an entire group of over one billion people is shocking.
In one particular document, numerous facts are reported about Islam which, if viewed objectively, indicate that they are ALSO serving Yahweh, even if there ARE significant errors in their doctrine. However, this particular author manages to apply his prejudice in such a way to impute that this is in fact service of Satan! What is particularly concerning is that this person, apparently a devout Messianic believer in Yahshua Messiah, does not comprehend the possibility that he could be guilty at the very least of judging others and concerning himself with the specks in others eyes without first judging himself and his peers in the faith and examining the planks in the eyes of Christian and Messianic believers.
It also seems that he does not consider the possibility that the people of Islam could, at least in part, actually be serving Yahweh and that his article is therefore OUTRIGHT BLASPHEMY! In concluding remarks the writer makes it clear that Muslims cannot have a personal saving knowledge of Yahshua Messiah and, instead of recognizing the desperate need to take the Good News of Yahshua's sacrifice in fulfilment of Torah to over one billion people, he CONDEMNS them for their lack of this knowledge!
Having read an article such as this, it is not difficult to understand WHY the Muslims hate the Christians!
However, the saddest thing about this article is that it is not alone. In recent years, the writer has read numerous similar articles in recent years written by other Believers in Jesus Christ and those who know the true Name Yahshua Messiah, about other groups. All of these articles have been characterised by the same vitriolic determination to attack the other group in prideful, self righteous and judgmental language and to declare that group to be serving Satan. In each case the author is apparently entirely unaware of the possibility that he may be touching Yahweh's anointed and blaspheming.
These articles have stretched across the spectrum of attacking Roman Catholic, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, Baptists, Church of Christ, Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints and a number of internationally known Charismatic Christian evangelists and preachers. The essence of every article is that the writer represents a group who has a revelation of truth and the group under attack is in such error that they are clearly serving Satan. One of the problems with such articles that the authors seem to be unaware of is that other authors in the other groups are saying the same about the group to which the author belongs.
No one seems ready to consider the possibility that ALL these groups, including the Muslims, are in some way part of the Body of Believers who are seeking to chesed (love) Yahweh their Elohim with all their heart, mind, soul and strength and that the true enemy is Satan, his angels and his demons who have poisoned mankind with so much error, pride, fear, distrust, jealousy, competition and hatred that there is massive division.
Similar articles are written by others in the name of "apologetics" pridefully attacking the errors of innumerable other groups, including Buddhists, Hindu's, etc with no apparent thought as to how the Good News of Peace is to be preached to these people who are so viciously condemned. Romans 10:15 "And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"" (NKJ) seems to be totally lost to the authors of these vitriolic passages.
Returning to the attacks on others who regard themselves as believers in Yahweh, whether as believers in Jesus Christ, Yahshua Messiah or Yahweh without saving knowledge of Yahshua Messiah. In Matthew 12:24-32 Yahshua makes some vital points relating to this:
"24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."
25 But Yahshua knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 "If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 "And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
28 "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of Yahweh, surely the kingdom of Yahweh has come upon you. 29 "Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
31 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
32 "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy (set apart) Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." (NKJ adjusted)
This passage makes a number of important points:
1) If we declare that someone is serving Satan or operating by Satan when in fact they are serving Yahweh and operating by the Spirit of Yahweh, even if we do not understand them and even if they may be in error in some respect, we are in danger of blaspheming the set apart Spirit of Yahweh, a sin for which there is NO forgiveness. Yahweh has indicated that currently 5% of the worlds population (about 308 million) people have lost their salvation, many for blaspheming the set apart Spirit of Yahweh, refer the article "The Evangelism Iceberg in 2001: Strategic Objectives Of The Kingdom Of Yahweh" (reference 1A1.01.08.11, dated 21 August, 2001). This includes BOTH Christians, Messianics AND Muslims!
2) NO KINGDOM, INCLUDING THE KINGDOM OF SATAN can stand if it is divided. We must therefore conclude that, since Satan is currently winning the battle, as set out in the article "Satan Is Winning The Battle Hands Down: What Are YOU Going To Do About It?" (reference 1A1.01.09.02, dated 14 September 2001) that Satan's kingdom is NOT divided and Yahweh's Kingdom IS DIVIDED. The principle basis of this division is the wide diversity of doctrinal error and internecine hatred between groups referred to above. This relates in large measure to the insistence of Believers in looking at the specks in one another's eyes instead of removing the planks from their own eyes. It was addressed in detail in the article "Seek Truth Not Error" (reference 1A1.01.02.12, dated 24 February, 2001) and also discussed in depth in the article "Vital Spiritual Principles Required To Understand What Was NOT Seen In The Attacks On The USA On Tuesday 11 September 2001" (reference 1A1.01.09.04, dated 19 September 2001) and will not be discussed further here.
The writer continues to see this failure of Believers to EXAMINE THEMSELVES instead of judging others, as being one of the most serious contributors to the overall state of the Body of Believers AND The World. Having prayed on several occasions in recent years to know the Father's heart, the writer also continues to experience the deep hurt and grief of our Beloved Heavenly Father at the infighting and vicious attacks on one another by His children, alternating with deep, burning anger at the manner in which the sacrifice of Yahshua at Golgotha is being debased by those who write such articles, think and speak such words! There is HARSH JUDGMENT about to fall on all who divide the Body and particularly those who Blaspheme Yahweh in doing so!
A TYPICAL AMERICAN RESPONSE?
On Saturday, September 15, 2001 8:00 PM a message with the subject "Miami Herald" was sent to us containing an article written by Leonard Pitts and published in the Miami Herald on Wednesday 12 September 2001. The day AFTER the disaster. It was titled "We'll go forward from this moment":
>>> MESSAGE BEGINS <<<
WE'LL GO FORWARD FROM THIS MOMENT
by Leonard Pitts
It's my job to have something to say.
They pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering.
You monster. You beast. You unspeakable b.......
What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn?
Whatever it was, please know that you failed.
Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause.
Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.
Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.
Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God.
Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak.
You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals.
IN PAIN
Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel.
Both in terms of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before.
But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice.
I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future.
In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined.
THE STEEL IN US
You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold.
As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish.
So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started.
But you're about to learn.

The person who forwarded this made the comment "I thought that this was a very well written article" and, in secular terms, it IS.
Besides being well written it probably ACCURATELY sums up the mood of the VAST MAJORITY of United States citizens and quite possibly of people in much of the Western World and possibly even other countries.
However, it illustrates a number of important points:
1) It fails to recognize the Scriptural principles of judgment which have been discussed in some detail on the End Time Issues list in the last eighteen months and which are best summarized in the article "The Wrath of Yahweh for the Church : Why Judgment is Coming on the Church Today" (1A1.01.01.01, dated 04 January, 2001) and perhaps best summarized in Scripture by Galatians 6:7-8 "7 Do not be deceived, Yahweh is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." (NKJ)
In this regard, there is a bitter irony in the phrase "in the pursuit of justice". The world has become so corrupt that we have all lost sight of Yahweh's definitions of right and wrong and therefore of Justice. A nation which separates "church and state", in other words, a nation that removes Yahweh from being head over that nation, CANNOT hope to apply Yahweh's standards of Justice because the FIRST clause of the Torah is that we shall chesed (love) Yahweh our Elohim and have no other mighty ones beside him!! The FIRST WORDS spoken by Yahweh from Mount Sinai, reported in Exodus 20:2-3 are "2 "I am Yahweh your Elohim [Mighty One], who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other mighty ones (gods) before Me." (NKJ adjusted)
As set out in some detail in the four articles which have preceded this, the devastation at the World Trade Centre, Pentagon and in Pennsylvania could ONLY have happened if there was a judgment from the Court of Heaven to permit it. It has also been noted, particularly in the article "Satan's Presence At The World Trade Centre - Confirmed in Photographs" (reference 1A1.01.09.06, dated 20 September 2001) that the real instigator behind the entire situation IS Satan. It is vital that we recognize that SATAN IS THE ENEMY, not any particular human being or group of human beings. There certainly is a group or groups of people who have been manipulated by Satan, his angels and his demons to perpetrate these crimes, but hitting back at those people, while it may bring some satisfaction and may be perceived to have brought justice, will not have dealt with the root cause and, if not meticulously executed will result in FURTHER JUDGMENT, thus playing directly into Satan's hands.
2) The article also mistakenly assumes that the vast majority of Americans have an accurate knowledge of the Word of Yahweh AND a personal relationship with Yahweh. This is summed up in the statement "We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God." This statement may well SUM UP THE HEART OF THE ENTIRE ISSUE!
Americans truly believe that they are "good" people and that they believe in a "just and loving God" - sadly, "God" is the name of a pagan deity and it is an act of great Grace that Yahweh has answered prayers prayed to "God". Furthermore, modern man's definition of "loving" tends to measure Yahweh by our standards giving rise to a seriously incorrect understanding of who Yahweh REALLY IS!
This becomes even more ironic in the light of indications from Yahweh that at this time ONLY 1% of the population of the entire earth, about 61 million people, would inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh if judged today. This is a small fraction of the people of the United States and this statistic applies to the population of the ENTIRE WORLD! In other words, the "belief" referred to here is NOT what Yahweh regards as saving faith!
Taking this statement a step further, as a consequence of a number of divine appointments set by Yahweh, the writer has ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that the vast majority of Muslims hold to EXACTLY THE SAME BELIEF, in fact, one could take this statement and apply it to Muslims as follows "We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God (Allah)." Whether Allah is technically a correct Arabic translation of Yahweh matters little. "The LORD" is CERTAINLY NOT an accurate translation of Yahweh and "God" is not an accurate translation of "Elohim".
THE BOTTOM LINE - THE CHRISTIANS THINK THEY ARE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH "THE LORD" AND THE MUSLIMS THINK THEY ARE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH "ALLAH" - BOTH ARE MISTAKEN!
Hence the conflict - each is so focussed on the specks in the other's eyes that they can scarcely see through the knotholes in the tree trunks in their own eyes and so we see two nearly blind men throwing insults, airplanes and, shortly atomic bombs? at one another in the name of righteousness!
AFGHANISTAN
To place this in sharper context, following is a message we received which was forwarded to us by Norman Willis (nwillis@regathering.com) on September 18, 2001 5:02 PM. In publishing this article i have replaced the name of the man who is named in the original article with O.............. and B........ and the name of the political organization ruling in the country named with T......
This has been done since Yahweh has repeatedly dealt with the writer regarding the naming of individuals with regard to unproven accusations against them. Scripture is very clear that Yahweh regards "talebearing" as entirely unacceptable. It does not matter how many third party statements we have heard implicating the man or organization in question, until there is clear hard evidence that will stand up in the Court of Heaven, we have no business naming either the person or the organization. In this case the reference to the country concerned by implication associates the person and the organization for those who have been listening to news reports but i encourage readers NOT to pass judgment themselves unless there is evidence that they feel will stand up in court when THEY appear before the Throne of Judgment!
In presenting what follows, it must be noted that it is presented in order to provide context. We do not subscribe to passing judgment on any person involved in this situation using the language that follows.
>>> MESSAGE BEGINS <<<
THE VOICE OF AN AFGHANI WHO HATES O..............
Our nation is truly in a difficult situation.
This is the voice of a native Afghani who hates O............... The point is well made that we must be careful only to punish those who are truly responsible for the recent acts of terror.
Otherwise, if we maim and kill those who are not responsible, and were not in favor of the attacks, we only make new enemies for ourselves, as happened in Vietnam.
Please pray for our leader, President Bush, that he make wise and responsible decisions, and that YHWH will lead this nation back to Him.
Shalom b'Yeshua,
Norman

I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ronn Owens [2], on KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have to accept collateral damage. What else can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV pundit discussing whether we "have the belly to do what must be done."
And I thought about the issues being raised especially hard because I am from Afghanistan, and even though I've lived here for 35 years I've never lost track of what's going on there. So I want to tell anyone who will listen how it all looks from where I'm standing.
I speak as one who hates the T...... and O............... There is no doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New York. I agree that something must be done about those monsters.
But the T...... and B........ are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The T...... are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. B........ is a political criminal with a plan. When you think T......, think Nazis. When you think B........, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the T...... and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country.
Some say, why don't the Afghans rise up and overthrow the T......? The answer is, they're starved, exhausted, hurt, incapacitated, suffering. A few years ago, the United Nations estimated that there are 500,000 disabled orphans in Afghanistan , a country with no economy, no food. There are millions of widows. And the T...... has been burying these widows alive in mass graves. The soil is littered with land mines, the farms were all destroyed by the Soviets. These are a few of the reasons why the Afghan people have not overthrown the T.......
We come now to the question of bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age. Trouble is, that's been done. The Soviets took care of it already. Make the Afghans suffer? They're already suffering. Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already did all that.
New bombs would only stir the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at least get the T......? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the T...... eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away and hide. Maybe the bombs would get some of those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be a strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it would only be making common cause with the T...... -- by raping once again the people they've been raping all this time.
So what else is there? What can be done, then? Let me now speak with true fear and trembling. The only way to get B........ is to go in there with ground troops. When people speak of "having the belly to do what needs to be done" they're thinking in terms of having the belly to kill as many as needed. Having the belly to overcome any moral qualms about killing innocent people. Let's pull our heads out of the sand. What's actually on the table is Americans dying. And not just because some Americans would die fighting their way through Afghanistan to B........'s hide out. It's much bigger than that folks. Because to get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go through Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would have to be first. Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You see where I'm going. We're flirting with a world war between Islam and the West.
And guess what: that's B........'s program. That's exactly what he wants. That's why he did this. Read his speeches and statements. It's all right there. He really believes Islam would beat the west. It might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's got a billion soldiers. If the west wreaks a holocaust in those lands, that's a billion people with nothing left to lose, that's even better from B........'s point of view. He's probably wrong, in the end the west would win, whatever that would mean, but the war would last for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours. Who has the belly for that? B........ does. Anyone else?

This message also raises some CRITICAL POINTS:
1) As a former military commander myself and having watched a TV program on the situation in Afghanistan last night - a program recorded by an Australian News Team who apparently went into Afghanistan in the last week - and having seen the semi-desert conditions and rugged terrain and the remains of bombed out buildings and burnt out tanks, etc - i would certainly not like to lead troops into that particular country half way around the world from home in a country that does not speak English and whose writing is entirely illegible to any Westerner. It will require a MASSIVE task force and given the experience of Britain at the Khyber Pass and of Russia more recently, it has the potential to be a massive disaster.
2) It is clear from the above message and from what i saw on TV last night that any attempt to attack the prime suspect in Afghanistan WILL wreak terrible havoc in a country already racked by years of war and many innocent people WILL be harmed. While it is possible to cite Scripture to support such action it is questionable whether any useful objective will, in fact, be achieved.
3) The writer continues to see the magnitude of the division between Islam and Christianity, which is essentially the war that is being proposed as being a bridge that must be BUILT NOT BOMBED! If the Christians will accept and publicly repent of the crimes committed in the name of "Christ" over the past nearly two thousand years and reach out in repentance and asking for forgiveness, it will open the door for Yahweh to move in a miraculous way.
None of this is to suggest that Islam is more perfect than Christendom, both are comprised of people with enormous error, error fed to them by Satan and his demons over thousands of years. But UNTIL human beings STOP FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER AND FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION ON SATAN, SATAN WILL NOT CEASE HIS ATTACKS.
4) The potential for this situation to escalate into the most terrible global conflict is GREAT. War started in Israel on Yom Kippur 2000. The expectation then was for a global war against the nation of Israel. A year later with Yom Kippur due on 27-28 September, less than a week away, we see all the signs of a global war against the descendants of Israel comprising ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL including all who are descended from the exiles from Samaria with the United States, Britain and other European countries ALL OF WHOM ARE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL likely to be ranged in war against what appears likely to be a substantial part of the children of Ishmael - the reality being that once war is declared it is highly likely that more and more Muslim countries will side against the United States by virtue of the abiding resentment that still persists from the days of the Crusaders a thousand years ago!
The question that must now be asked, is whether the war which seems set to break out on Yom Kippur 2001 will see full scale physical destruction in the land of Israel or in the lands where the children of Israel predominantly dwell (Europe and North America) or both and whether the fulfilment of Ezekial 39 will take place in both these locations, possibly a year apart?!
Believers MUST focus their attention on seeking unity with their brethren BY SEEKING TRUTH and must seek to take the good news of the Kingdom of Yahweh's peace to ALL THE WORLD!
CLOSURE
It is hoped that this article has provided further insight into the enormous complexities of the current world spiritual situation.
Father, in the Name of Yahshua may all that is according to Your Will and Your Word in this article find deep root in the hearts of the readers and if there is anything that is not of You let it find no root at all.
