Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
7 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
11 And you went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
17 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
18 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.
19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.
22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
24 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
31 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
The Story of Redemption Chapter 18 “The Law of God.”
This chapter is based on Exodus 19 and 20.
After the children of Israel left Rephidim, they came to the “desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto Myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is Mine: and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.” {SR 137.1; HR.140.1}
The people here entered into a solemn covenant with God and accepted Him as their ruler, by which they became the peculiar subjects of His divine authority. “And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever.” When the Hebrews had met with difficulties in the way, they were disposed to murmur against Moses and Aaron, and accuse them of leading the host of Israel from Egypt to destroy them. God would honor Moses before them, that they might be led to confide in his instructions, and know that He had put His Spirit upon him. {SR 137.2; HR.140.2}
Preparation to Approach God
The Lord then gave Moses express directions in regard to preparing the people for Him to approach nigh to them, that they might hear His law spoken, not by angels, but by Himself. “And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes, and be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.” {SR 138.1; HR.141.1}
The people were required to refrain from worldly labor and care, and to possess devotional thoughts. God required them also to wash their clothes. He is no less particular now than He was then. He is a God of order, and requires His people now upon the earth to observe habits of strict cleanliness. And those who worship God with unclean garments and persons do not come before Him in an acceptable manner. He is not pleased with their lack of reverence for Him, and He will not accept the service of filthy worshipers, for they insult their Maker. The Creator of the heavens and of the earth considered cleanliness of so much importance that He said, “And let them wash their clothes.” {SR 138.2; HR.141.2}
“And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: there shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.” This command was designed to impress the minds of this rebellious people with a profound veneration for God, the author and authority of their laws. {SR 138.3; HR.141.3}
God’s Manifestation in Awful Grandeur
“And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.” The angelic host that attended the divine Majesty summoned the people by a sound resembling that of a trumpet, which waxed louder and louder until the whole earth trembled. {SR 139.1; HR.142.1}
“And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” The divine Majesty descended in a cloud with a glorious retinue of angels, who appeared as flames of fire. {SR 139.2; HR.142.2}
“And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.” {SR 139.3; HR.142.3}
Thus the Lord, in awful grandeur, spoke His law from Sinai, that the people might believe. He then accompanied the giving of His law with sublime exhibitions of His authority, that they might know that He is the only true and living God. Moses was not permitted to enter within the cloud of glory, but only draw nigh and enter the thick darkness which surrounded it. And he stood between the people and the Lord. {SR 140.1; HR.143.1}
God’s Law Proclaimed
After the Lord had given them such evidences of His power, He told them who He was: “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” The same God who exalted His power among the Egyptians now spoke His law: { SR 140.2; HR.143.2 }
“Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. {SR 140.3; HR.143.3}
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments. {SR 140.4; HR.143.4}
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain. {SR 140.5; HR.143.5}
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. {SR 140.6; HR.143.6}
“Honour thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. {SR 141.1; HR.144.1}
“Thou shalt not kill. {SR 141.2; HR.144.2}
“Thou shalt not commit adultery. {SR 141.3; HR.144.3}
“Thou shalt not steal. {SR 141.4; HR.144.4}
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. {SR 141.5; HR.144.5}
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour’s.” {SR 141.6; HR.144.6}
The first and second commandments spoken by Jehovah are precepts against idolatry; for idolatry, if practiced, would lead men to great lengths in sin and rebellion, and result in the offering of human sacrifices. God would guard against the least approach to such abominations. The first four commandments were given to show men their duty to God. The fourth is the connecting link between the great God and man. The Sabbath, especially, was given for the benefit of man and for the honor of God. The last six precepts show the duty of man to his fellow man. {SR 141.7; HR.144.7}
The Sabbath was to be a sign between God and His people forever. In this manner was it to be a sign—all who should observe the Sabbath, signified by such observance that they were worshipers of the living God, the creator of the heavens and the earth. The Sabbath was to be a sign between God and His people as long as He should have a people upon the earth to serve Him. {SR 141.8; HR.144.8}
“And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. {SR 142.1; HR.145.1}
“And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.” The majestic presence of God at Sinai, and the commotions in the earth occasioned by His presence, the fearful thunderings and lightnings which accompanied this visitation of God, so impressed the minds of the people with fear and reverence to His sacred majesty that they instinctively drew back from the awful presence of God, lest they should not be able to endure His terrible glory. {SR 142.2; HR.145.2}
The Peril of Idolatry
Again, God would guard the children of Israel from idolatry. He said unto them, “Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.” They were in danger of imitating the example of the Egyptians, and making to themselves images to represent God. {SR 142.3; HR.145.3}
The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for My name is in Him. But if thou shalt indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries; for Mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.” The angel who went before Israel was the Lord Jesus Christ. “Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” Exodus 23:24, 25. {SR 142.4; HR.145.4}
God would have His people understand that He alone should be the object of their worship; and when they should overcome the idolatrous nations around them, they should not preserve any of the images of their worship, but utterly destroy them. Many of these heathen deities were very costly, and of beautiful workmanship, which might tempt those who had witnessed idol worship, so common in Egypt, to even regard these senseless objects with some degree of reverence. The Lord would have His people know that it was because of the idolatry of these nations, which had led them to every degree of wickedness, that He would use the Israelites as His instruments to punish them and destroy their gods. {SR 143.1; HR.146.1}
“I will send My fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand: and thou shalt drive them out before thee. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against Me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.” Exodus 23:27-33. These promises of God to His people were on condition of their obedience. If they would serve the Lord fully, He would do great things for them. {SR 143.2; HR.146.2}
After Moses had received the judgments from the Lord, and had written them for the people, also the promises, on condition of obedience, the Lord said unto him, “Come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. And Moses alone shall come near the Lord: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do.” Exodus 24:1-3. {SR 144.1; HR.147.1}
Moses had written, not the Ten Commandments, but the judgments which God would have them observe, and the promises on condition that they would obey Him. He read this to the people, and they pledged themselves to obey all the words which the Lord had said. Moses then wrote their solemn pledge in a book and offered sacrifice unto God for the people. “And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.” The people repeated their solemn pledge to the Lord to do all that He had said, and to be obedient. (Exodus 24:7, 8.) {SR 144.2; HR.147.2}
God’s Eternal Law
The law of God existed before man was created. The angels were governed by it. Satan fell because he transgressed the principles of God’s government. After Adam and Eve were created, God made known to them His law. It was not then written, but was rehearsed to them by Jehovah. {SR 145.1; HR.148.1}
The Sabbath of the fourth commandment was instituted in Eden. After God had made the world and created man upon the earth, He made the Sabbath for man. After Adam’s sin and fall nothing was taken from the law of God. The principles of the Ten Commandments existed before the fall and were of a character suited to the condition of a holy order of beings. After the fall the principles of those precepts were not changed, but additional precepts were given to meet man in his fallen state. {SR 145.2; HR.148.2}
A system was then established requiring the sacrificing of beasts, to keep before fallen man that which the serpent made Eve disbelieve, that the penalty of disobedience is death. The transgression of God’s law made it necessary for Christ to die a sacrifice, and thus make a way possible for man to escape the penalty, and yet the honor of God’s law be preserved. The system of sacrifices was to teach man humility, in view of his fallen condition, and lead him to repentance and to trust in God alone, through the promised Redeemer, for pardon for past transgression of His law. If the law of God had not been transgressed, there never would have been death, and there would have been no need of additional precepts to suit man’s fallen condition. {SR 145.3; HR.148.3}
Adam taught his descendants the law of God, which law was handed down to the faithful through successive generations. The continual transgression of God’s law called for a flood of waters upon the earth. The law was preserved by Noah and his family, who for right-doing were saved in the ark by a miracle of God. Noah taught his descendants the Ten Commandments. The Lord preserved a people for Himself from Adam down, in whose hearts was His law. He says of Abraham, He “obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” Genesis 26:5. {SR 146.1; HR.149.1}
The Lord appeared unto Abraham, and said unto him: {SR 146.2; HR.149.2}
“I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect. And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.” Genesis 17:1, 2. “And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.” Genesis 17:7. {SR 146.3; HR.149.2}
He then required of Abraham and his seed, circumcision, which was a circle cut in the flesh, as a token that God had cut them out and separated them from all nations as His peculiar treasure. By this sign they solemnly pledged themselves that they would not intermarry with other nations, for by so doing they would lose their reverence for God and His holy law, and would become like the idolatrous nations around them. {SR 146.4; HR.149.3}
By the act of circumcision they solemnly agreed to fulfill on their part the conditions of the covenant made with Abraham, to be separate from all nations and to be perfect. If the descendants of Abraham had kept separate from other nations, they would not have been seduced into idolatry. By keeping separate from other nations, a great temptation to engage in their sinful practices and rebel against God would be removed from them. They lost in a great measure their peculiar, holy character by mingling with the nations around them. To punish them, the Lord brought a famine upon their land, which compelled them to go down into Egypt to preserve their lives. But God did not forsake them while they were in Egypt, because of His covenant with Abraham. He suffered them to be oppressed by the Egyptians, that they might turn to Him in their distress, choose His righteous and merciful government, and obey His requirements. {SR 147.1; HR.150.1}
There were but a few families that first went down into Egypt. These increased to a great multitude. Some were careful to instruct their children in the law of God, but many of the Israelites had witnessed so much idolatry that they had confused ideas of God’s law. Those who feared God cried to Him in anguish of spirit to break their yoke of grievous bondage and bring them from the land of their captivity, that they might be free to serve Him. God heard their cries and raised up Moses as His instrument to accomplish the deliverance of His people. After they had left Egypt, and the waters of the Red Sea had been divided before them, the Lord proved them to see if they would trust in Him who had taken them, a nation from another nation, by signs, temptations, and wonders. But they failed to endure the trial. They murmured against God because of difficulties in the way and wished to return again to Egypt. {SR 147.2; HR.150.2}
Written in Tables of Stone
To leave them without excuse, the Lord Himself condescended to come down upon Sinai, enshrouded in glory and surrounded by His angels, and in a most sublime and awful manner made known His law of Ten Commandments. He did not trust them to be taught by anyone, not even His angels, but spoke His law with an audible voice in the hearing of all the people. He did not, even then, trust them to the short memory of a people who were prone to forget His requirements, but wrote them with His own holy finger upon tables of stone. He would remove from them all possibility of mingling with His holy precepts any tradition, or of confusing His requirements with the practices of men. {SR 148.1; HR.151.1}
He then came still closer to His people, who were so readily led astray, and would not leave them with merely the ten precepts of the Decalogue. He commanded Moses to write, as He should bid him, judgments and laws, giving minute directions in regard to what He required them to perform, and thereby guarded the ten precepts which He had engraved upon the tables of stone. These specific directions and requirements were given to draw erring man to the obedience of the moral law, which he is so prone to transgress. {SR 148.2; HR.151.2}
If man had kept the law of God, as given to Adam after his fall, preserved in the ark by Noah, and observed by Abraham, there would have been no necessity for the ordinance of circumcision. And if the descendants of Abraham had kept the covenant, of which circumcision was a token or pledge, they would never have gone into idolatry or been suffered to go down into Egypt, and there would have been no necessity of God’s proclaiming His law from Sinai and engraving it upon tables of stone and guarding it by definite directions in the judgments and statutes of Moses. {SR 148.3; HR.151.3}
The Judgments and Statutes
Moses wrote these judgments and statutes from the mouth of God while he was with Him in the mount. If the people of God had obeyed the principles of the Ten Commandments, there would have been no need of the specific directions given to Moses, which he wrote in a book, relative to their duty to God and to one another. The definite directions which the Lord gave to Moses in regard to the duty of His people to one another, and to the stranger, are the principles of the Ten Commandments simplified and given in a definite manner, that they need not err. {SR 149.1; HR.152.1}
The Lord instructed Moses definitely in regard to the ceremonial sacrifices which were to cease at the death of Christ. The system of sacrifices foreshadowed the offering of Christ as a Lamb without blemish. {SR 149.2; HR.152.2}
The Lord first established the system of sacrificial offerings with Adam after his fall, which he taught to his descendants. This system was corrupted before the Flood, and by those who separated themselves from the faithful followers of God and engaged in the building of the tower of Babel. They sacrificed to gods of their own make instead of the God of heaven. They offered sacrifices not because they had faith in the Redeemer to come but because they thought they should please their gods by offering a great many beasts upon polluted idol altars. Their superstition led them to great extravagances. They taught the people that the more valuable the sacrifice the greater pleasure would it give their idol gods, and the greater would be the prosperity and riches of their nation. Hence, human beings were often sacrificed to these senseless idols. Those nations had laws and regulations to control the actions of the people, which were cruel in the extreme. Their laws were made by those whose hearts were not softened by grace; and while they would pass over the most debasing crimes, a small offense would call forth the most cruel punishment from those in authority. {SR 149.3; HR.152.3}
Moses had this in view when he said to Israel, “Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon Him for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:5-8. {SR 150.1; HR.153.1}
Testimony: 02-22-2018 #01
Beloved, February 22, 2018. In dream I was taken to a place where there was a meeting of many leaders of children, adolescents and youth. There was a great debate in that place regarding the education of these children. Then some said some things, others other, others thought they were right. Then a sister began to speak, and another sister joined her, and they convinced [a] great crowd to give their children the best in education to educate them. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p1}
So they brought a huge (bus) and they rode all these children, adolescents, and youth, and took them away. So then at that time I told them not to leave, but my efforts were in vain to make them understand, because everyone who was there released their children, like when you release a bundle that you have carried uphill for hours. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p2}
So they believing, to some people, since they released [their] children. Then I was telling them: “but is it that you are going to believe in these people instead of [in] a ‘it is written?'” But they didn’t pay any attention. So I began to exhort them to remember Madison, to remember Jesus, John the Baptist, even what Moses had to go through before he was ready to be used, where all this protocol had to be ripped from him, and emptied to fill it now of the talents, the ministry, and the operation that God was giving him. Then they scoffed and left, until I was alone in that place. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p3}
Then my companion told me something very sad, He was sad, so what He told me was: “let’s go, because we are going to a place and we are going to see what had happened.” Then we came to this great house, this house had many rooms, and in each of them there was a different scene. Then in one, I went into a room and saw girls, they were little girls, they were babies, they were very well groomed, they were in beds with dolls and stuffed animals. So these dolls and stuffed animals were dedicated to evil, it was what I could see, what they were showing me. So from they were little, these things that lived inside these dolls and stuffed animals, indoctrinated them in evil because these dolls were possessed; I was seeing them like that, how evil angels lived inside those dolls and stuffed animals. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p4}
Then I went to another room and I saw [a] older child, in my opinion this child would be about 2 or 3 years old. There he was in front of a video game screen, his life of spiritual learning passing like water in a broken glass. So he then, was not soaked or full by this, but he was just in that room hypnotized with that video game. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p5}
In another room when I entered, there it was… it was a room then it was extremely dark, there was a little girl resting, it was a beautiful little girl with very pronounced eyes, when I entered and I tried to open the windows so that the light could enter, a force took me by the arms so that I would not open them, but my companion helped me and I was able to open them, and many dolls ran out and hid under the bed where this girl was. So I took the girl, took her out of there, and was indicated to put her in a large room, where in that room what was being read was the Bible constantly. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p6}
At that moment we left that room, and I entered another room. There I saw parents, parents were overwhelmed! because they saw their children who were desperate because of their homework, that they did not leave time of quality to educate their children in the real education that are the things of God. I saw them enslaved, they were oppressed by evil hosts that surrounded them and they did not know how to escape! {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p7}
So we left that place, without further passing, and we continued the path and I was taken to another room where there were young people. They were about three young people and they were absorbed in violence and science fiction movies. Then I saw them by their side, while they were sitting there watching these movies, there were angels but these angels were evil. So they (the angels) tried that they not hear anything else, just what they were showing them, what they had prepared for them (the young people). So at that moment I got closer to them, and tried to make them realize who was controlling them, but their faces when they looked at me seemed hypnotized, there was no way to make them enter in reason! Then my companion said something very sad to me, He said: “let’s go, their fate has already been cast.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p8}
So at that moment I kind of enter a little in despair, and I said: “Lord, what are we going to do?!” But He said: “Let’s go.” So we went to another room, this one was larger in space, there I saw young people as in young adults, these studied each one, books of their choice, and all were happy and anxious that when they finished that book, what they were going to expect was the monetary remuneration for having studied these books. So in a corner was the book of books, there I saw the bible where it was indicated to me that it was the real wisdom, the way of eternal life, and it was there forgotten and it was dusty. Not one of those in that room paid attention to this Book. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p9}
So we left there, we went to another room, and there I would see adults. All of them in their pursuits of secular work, they had no peace and were surrounded by evil hosts that encouraged them to continue for material remuneration, although they felt that they should not do it but the debts oppressed them, and some and others were afraid of letting go, out of fear and their comfortable state that they felt when they were in this situation. So I started talking to them, but they didn’t understand me either, I don’t know what was happening. So I said: “Lord, why?! my eyes can’t keep seeing this anymore, I want to help them!” But at that moment my eyes kind of opened a little more, and I saw the ears of these people and I saw like black hands that were covering their ears. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p10}
So I asked: “will this always be like this?” Then the voice answered me: “they chose.” Then I exclaimed with great great pain because this is very difficult for me. Then I said: “Lord, how close are we to the world to come?” Then He answered me: “now the preparations are ready, soon we will be home.” Then I exclaimed: “O Holy, sovereign God! And these people? What will become of them?” Then my companion told me: “come, I will show you.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p11}
So we went out of the huge house, I was contemplating it from a distance, I began to cry for it, for the situation that I had experienced, [that] I had seen in that place. So at that moment, when I was already looking at this, at that moment a wind came and raged against it, and a board from that house flew out and fell on my feet, so I bent down to pick it up, and I saw something that had written, I read that inscription that said in red letters: “Laodicea.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p12}
Then when I looked up, I saw the house again, but it was no longer in its place, there was a group of few people, I saw there babies, children, adolescents, young people, adults; A small group of people were being educated there in that same place where that house was no longer there, by a beautiful and beautiful character who shone with great splendor, that my eyes could not fix much on Him, because His splendor almost did not let me see Him. Then I could appreciate in a moment that His right hand was raised to the heaven and with the other He was holding a book that also shone, and He was instructing them, and everyone understood what this character was saying to them; then they began to walk after Him, but no longer at ground level, but their feet were raised in the air; I saw them as they [were] rising little by little. Then I exclaimed: “Lord, how will we get to this group? At this level?” Then I saw how they were educated, they were educated only from the word of God, and so I was instructed that to reach this level we only have to educate from the word of God. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p13}
At that moment the scene changed, I saw parents who were educating their children at home with the only word of God in their hands, and from it emanated every branch of source of wisdom for them and their children, and how the angels came and they attended them, and peace reigned in them. I also saw young people giving up their desires, expectations, what they desired and what they wanted; but no, they were there devouring the word of truth like when they are going to go through an exhaustive exam and they can’t afford to fail it, that’s how they were. Then I also saw adults, some were alone in corners, in places, others in families, and we are letting go of everything for the love of God, just seeking His forgiveness and approval. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p14}
At that time I also saw how families went room by room, corner after corner, taking out of their camp all anathema, everything that impeded the presence of God in their lives, and these people moaned for the abominations that surrounded them, and they asked to be freed from said contamination. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p15}
So at that moment I turned to my companion and asked: “what are we going to do now?” And I was told: “lighten your load because the hour is almost come and soak your being with the Holy Word, just and true of our great God, because heaven is almost near.” So at that moment when I heard these words “heaven is almost near”, I asked: “when will this glorious hope be? How much left?” “I want to leave” I added. Then He looked at me smiling and answered: “before you is the final test, be faithful until death and you will be given the crown of life.” Then at that moment I exclaimed, a sigh came out, and I exclaimed: “Lord, the final test, who can bear it?” Then He answered me: “no one that from now discards their expectations and desires will be able to triumph, only a resounding death to the I will help to endure and win.” Then He paused, but continued to tell me: “only one thing is important now, get out of Egypt, celebrate the Passover with me in the desert, seek me with all your heart and you will live.” Then at that moment I exclaimed: “Lord forgive me!” So I said to Him: “forgive me because I want to ask you another question,” and I said to Him: “what does ‘passover’ means to you?” And then He answered me: “stop living for this world, and resolve only to live for me and my kingdom, like Enoch who celebrated his Passover once and forever, and lives forever in my kingdom.” At that moment beloved there I woke up. I was not told more, I did not see more. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p16}
I hope and pray to the Lord with all my heart, that according to this has impacted my life, it may also impact the lives of many people who are really looking for the Lord and that we can all meet in the Heavenly Homeland. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p17}
Testimony: 05-02-2019
Beloved, May 2, 2019. In dreams I was on a great plain and I heard a voice that told me: “advance” I began to advance, and when I reached the last end of the plain, a huge mirror settled in front of me. Said my companion: “observe.” I looked with much attention at the mirror and could see large dirty stains on my dress. I exclaimed: “Oh God! I’m dirty! help me!” My companion told me: “continue, continue the road.” I was going up the mountain, but my heart was very sad because of the stains on my dress. I knelt down and wept bitterly in supplication for the cleanliness of my dress, again I heard the voice that told me: “continue.” I got up very sad and started to walk, I took four steps, and in front of me other mirror, it settled down and I could look at myself carefully in the mirror, and I could observe that the large stains on my dress had diminished, but I could still observe them. I said: “Oh Lord! How will I get rid of this?’ It was indicated to me: “continue the road.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2019 , en.p1}
The road became more rougher and difficult, I took one step forward and slipped two backwards, it was very difficult to continue, I grabbed hold of everything in my path, trees, branches so as not to fall, the difficulty I had In front of me was great, but the condition of my dress filled my thoughts, sad I fell to the ground and exclaimed: “Oh my God! save me, I perish!” In those moments another mirror passed in front of me, and I could see myself again. The stains on my clothes, still visible, were very small, I looked at myself directly and did not see them, but it was through the mirror that I could only see them. I began to moan and cry out: “Lord cleanse me! Lord cleanse me!” {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2019 , en.p2}
Then I kept climbing the rough path, in my legs I felt the push of the painful journey, and I could not change my dress by myself and they were still stained. I cried so bitterly about my situation that I almost lost my breath and fell to the ground. Then I began to observe the large trees, flowers and birds, and thus I calmed down. When I saw them, they gave peace to my dejected soul, there I was for a long time looking around me, and remembering to see the holy couple in the garden of Eden, and the agonizing death of my Jesus when He died on the cross of Calvary for me. While there I was remembering and looking around that beautiful nature, my companion said: “stand up and continue ascending.” I did so, and soon in front of me other mirror. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2019 , en.p3}
I no longer wanted to look at myself, I was scared to think that my clothes were still stained, but in one moment I looked, and I saw something extremely impossible, when looking in the mirror I did not see myself, but I saw my beloved God in my place! I was looking to see if I saw myself but there was nothing there that reflected my figure, only my beloved God, His snow-white clothes were precious! I fell on my knees before Him, and crying I thanked Him for what I could never achieve by myself. My companion picked me up and said: “look.” I looked at the great plain, I saw many people with mirrors in front of them, that to some it was of importance and others did not. He said: “go and tell them the process, everyone who cares should advance.” I ran to the plain and said aloud the words that I was ordered to say. And those who cared began the ascent with great sacrifice and hardship. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2019 , en.p4}
At that moment I woke up and heard the voice that said: “The dirty will continue to get dirty and the clean will [continue] to get clean.” May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2019 , en.p5}
Testimony: 09-26-2019
Beloved, September 26, 2019. In dreams I saw how the worship of God was a mere formalism, and that it was not given the emphasis and respect He deserved. It was let me known that very few human beings recognize the importance and shelter from the evil one that this provides. I was let to know that if we really knew what goes on in morning and evening worship, we would not take it so lightly; we would praise the Lord over and over again, and we would not allow ourselves to unfold the word without them being among us. I was let known that the more we praise in songs of praise, our hearts are softened if we meditate on the lyrics of such hymns; and that after raising multiple songs to the heavenly throne, every knee should bow before God in prayer of supplication and plead for the presence of the Holy Spirit; Thus the Holy Angels would keep all evil host away from the family altar and thus the Holy Spirit, appealing to our mind and heart, the greatest milestones of salvation would be impregnated in each member, and the truth will flow triumphantly in the family bond; those who, without preparing the heavenly atmosphere, throw their words to the wind, and the enemy that flows between them will not allow the word of truth to prosper no matter how much it is repressed! {Daisy Escalante: 09-26-2019 , en.p1}
I was taken to a place where the ladies worshiped, all with their heads covered in supposed sign of reverence to God, but their hearts were not there; their eyes were distracted and their vain speech was a reflection of their empty heart, this was transmitted to the tender and young hearts that absorbed that lightness to the extreme; then, at that moment I was told: “speak.” I spoke, and I said: “do you think that covering your head, ladies, before God is good?” And they answered: “yes.” “So why do you cover it so that your hair doesn’t get dirty, wet or tousled with great mastery? But before God everything is vain and superficial; Will not the Lord look at the hypocrisy of your supposed adoration and repudiate it?” At that moment they were all with their elbows leaning on a table, on which they were sitting holding their faces, and when they heard this they were shocked. I kept talking and I kept saying: “how do you think you are going to educate the little ones if you are not educated yourself?” {Daisy Escalante: 09-26-2019 , en.p2}
Then I saw a man talking. I was let known that colored brothers had arrived and that they had not been well received. I said: “How dare you speak the word of truth if your heart is spurious and stained by racism?” This man stopped talking and went worried to a corner of the room; There we talked about the milestones, how each heavenly detail is too important for salvation, and that the standard everytime lowered, which is taken by many, will be the cause of their eternal ruin. I saw many mocked and others pay attention to what had been said there. After saying, what was said before, I left there with those who had listened. We continue to eagerly share God’s truths and His high standard of salvation. {Daisy Escalante: 09-26-2019 , en.p3}
At that moment, beloved, there I woke up. I woke up meditating on all these things, and while I was awake meditating, the Lord told me: Jeremiah 18 and Jeremiah 19. May God grant that each one of us come out of mere formalism, and that each one of us can realize that everything that the Lord asks us to do, it is because He really wants that through all this that we pass through the process that will change our lives by His power, by His grace and by His mercy so that we can be accepted in Him. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 09-26-2019 , en.p4}
Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
13 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18 Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
Jeremiah 19
1 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’s house; and said to all the people,
15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
Testimony: 05-02-2020
May 2, 2020. In dreams, I saw how many young people, children and some adults were in a room with electronic devices. I stood in front of them and said: Wake up! Life is more than that! Can’t you see? Preparation time is passing and you are wasting it! ” They didn’t pay attention to me. I begged them, I supplicate! My tears ran like a stream among them, but they did not listen to me. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p1}
I came out of that room, on the outside of that house. Under the starry sky I poured out my soul to God in supplication for those who were deaf to my words. It was agonizing to know that the sorcerer of souls had them hypnotized and the death penalty lay upon them, because to reach that state, they themselves had opened the door to such a mortal evil. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p2}
It was distressing all that, and my chest felt with great anguish. Suddenly I heard a noise that caught my attention: I searched to the right, to the left, behind and in front of me, but I couldn’t see anything. I heard the noise again, this time I recognized where it came from and I raised my eyes and looked at the starry sky: there I saw lines crossing the sky. But these lines had curves that rose and fell like the graph that detects the magnitude of earthquakes. I saw them all over the sky and they reached, even, beyond where my eyes could look. I said, “Lord, what is this?” I was told: “come and see.” I was elevated and saw how all those waves, like spider webs, surrounded the earth. In front of me I saw that earthly globe spinning and surrounded by those enormous waves that cover it. I was able to observe that, where there was an agglomeration of lights, there were more lines of these waves than in the places with less lights. I was also able to observe that, where there were not so many lights, the waves were not continuous, but there were prolonged spaces in them, it was as if the wave ended up [in] a certain place and then, many kilometers after, it continued. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p3}
I was again introduced to earth, and I began to see strange behaviors in humanity, and I saw uniformed officers intervene with them. I heard them say, “The plan worked. They are all deranged. Let’s lock them up ”. So I said, “Oh, why they are good and not also affected?” I was told: “they do not have, for now, the receiver” I wanted to ask what the receiver was, but I was quickly taken to another scene. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p4}
I saw many in bed, they were not tied, but they were not moving. They were alive because I saw them breathe. I stayed observing them and I saw how, in each one of them, their breathing went slower and slower until they no longer breathed. I said, “Oh Lord! If this is caused by those waves, how can anyone survive? ” He replied: “Only a strict adherence to My plan, with My blessing and protection, be saved.” He asked me, “How then did My people survive in the desert for 40 years? Who guided them, fed them, and provided them with every provision? I, the great I Am, ”He replied. “That was My part of the pact between Me and My people. Their part in that pact was to keep My commandments, My laws, and My statutes. Today I make a pact with My people so that, in this way, My will in them is fulfilled. Tell them to guard in obeying My will and I will protect them from all evil powers. There will be much tempest, violence and great affliction, but from all of them my people will be liberated. Listen carefully: {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p5}
– stay a long time under the trees,
– walk barefoot for a considerable time,
– Eat leaves of the field and whole products of the earth,
– Drink the water that I give you and not the one that comes from man,
– rest early every night.
– You are the salt of the earth and, if it vanishes, with what will it be salty? Remember this? Salt, the most precious mineral on earth, together with the most precious liquid, will keep your mental health at this time. Use raw salt as I give it to you. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p6}
– Repeat and memorize Psalms. This will ward off mental depression.
– Work outdoors and relax in the tranquility of My nature.
– Listen to the singing of the birds and meditate on who cares for them and provides for them.
– Enjoy the cool and gentle wind that caresses your cheeks.
Soon the man of sin will be among you, the one who with a tongue deceitful and liar will seduce the whole world. Be alert because the final battle draws near. Only under My wings will you be safe. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you, and I will do more wonders for you than I did in Egypt to liberate My people. These for a temporary inheritance, but now it will be, both for those who overcame and for you, an incorruptible, eternal inheritance. Rest quick today, and increase your faith in Me because very soon your feet will not have, for a time, rest until they reach Canaan. Humble yourselves, afflict your spirit, ask the God of the harvest to remove all iniquity from you, so that your happiness may be completed and My salvation may be granted to you. Anyone who comes to Me with an undivided heart will be accepted. Tremble and do not sin, meditate on your beds and be silent and trust only in Jehovah, because in the Lord is the strength of the ages forever. Live in strict holiness, because I am Holy and without Me you can do nothing, and in Me there is no raving.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p7}
Faithful and true words of the Lord. Peace to you all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-02-2020, en.p8}
Testimony: 02-24-2021
February 24, 2021. The Word of the Eternal came to me saying: “My people have perished for lack of knowledge, not because it did not exist, but because they did not want it. These shall be guilty before the judgment because they have rejected the goodness of Heaven.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p1}
“Time after time Jerusalem was spoken to, and for seven years that pilgrim went through the streets – being heard but not listened – and today it is no different. They hear and do not listen, choosing among all the supposed options, which they forge for themselves. How then do they say: ‘We serve God’, when they do not know me? And I know them and I see their works, which are: self convenience and haughtiness of spirit. The human pride that cries out for them alone, as they glimpse – a little – what is coming. They live ephemeral lives! Unable to [grow] a hair on their heads, they live like peacocks! And having, like dogs, big mouths, and cry, ‘I know God. And you?’ Boastful in their own opinion, they are deceived and deceiving many; and yet to this, yes, multitudes follow them!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p2}
“Did I not make the human being? Do I not know how his brain and reasoning works? Why do you pretend in my presence and make my Sabbaths, Feasts and New Moons abominable in my sight? Your disrespect is your daily life. You want to cover it up these days, and I cannot even look at it lest my fury be kindled!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p3}
“Fools! Fanatics of your own ideas that will lead you to perdition! You lower the standard instead of raising it in your lives, and you do not tremble in doing so! Your reasonings, unable to see the truth as it is, will exempt you from eternity, and you do not suffer for it! You play with the ephemeral and guard it like a pearl of great price, and do you not know that all that your eyes see will be undone! Know ye not that all things are ephemeral? Know ye not that only by bearing fruits worthy of repentance shall ye inherit eternal life? You live for yourselves, thinking only of your delight! And do you think that in this way you will be crowned with glory? By yourselves you cannot do good, but you set me aside!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p4}
“I look: how many hymns you sing, how many verses of my Word you memorize, and I see how little attention you pay to my prophets. Day after day there is time for your plans, and you live for them! And, there, I am not there. How many times do you pray on your knees when you are able to do so? Is your speech, among one another, in accordance with my words and my example? You hide yourselves from the human being to give the appearance of piety, and this will not save you; and shamelessly you walk before Me and My witnesses!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p5}
“Silent in the truth and big mouths in lies! You prepare much net to my Words, that others may fall and be guilty of death, as you will be.”
“Now, Oh people, arise and look neither to the right nor [to] the left! Take refuge in Me, and hide not thyself with indolence; turn away! and turn away thine ear, and let not thine eyes behold their ways. Do not covet their goods, for all will be for stubble to them, and none will be saved who follows in their footsteps! Turn to Me and be pure! And only there will you find rest for your soul. Do not go after them who, after knowing the truth – and this being proved before many – hesitate because they give ear to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons! Who will all cry out!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p6}
“Live your own experience. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that no one who gives ear to this shall be excused in my kingdom. For, verily I say unto you, a day of weeping and wailing, without consolation, shall be the day [when] many shall think they are saved and the first plague shall invest them! There will be great mourning, terror and weeping, and there will be no escape for them! A day of payment, and not of opportunity; a day of total separation, and not of gathering together; a day of joy for the faithful, and of great bitterness for the unfaithful.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p7}
“Many do duty out of fear, and not out of conviction, and do you not know that the efficacy of this is null? It was One who suffered for you, and you do not want to suffer for Him. With all this, even My mercy is extended to the penitent soul who struggles before Me to do My will.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p8}
“Hear ye peoples and nations: the Eternal looks upon your inclinations, and the scales give accurate measure: do ye not think that there is a judgment where each one, his case, will be examined, and none will be there present? Do not your sins, which are in your members, make you tremble before My presence?” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p9}
“I have approached you with my Words, for some years now, before this last generation. And I see who exposes it and who receives it. The expounder is wronged, scourged, reviled and, many times, his strength leaves him. He bears great reproach and [is] rejected by many [who] follow in their own walk. Cursed by many and blessed by others, he seeks the good [of] all by means of the truth, even if he receives scourging for it. I see. And I have seen how my prophets of old, too, suffered for my sake. But woe to him who makes them suffer, for, as I live, he was chosen for this hour from his mother’s womb. And great tribulation he suffered from conception! Living great privations and many hardships, he resolved to follow me wherever I go, and so today he has come to raise my voice among you. But many of you regard him as vile and do not receive the words of his mouth. Your fatuous thoughts say: ‘God does not speak, does not hear, does not see.’ You merciless ones! Like the nations of old, you denigrate and oppress him who is my voice among the people; you deprive him of help, you surround him with hardship and deprive him of bread, supporting that which is of no use to him and taking care of that which is of no use to you!; it was to be expected!, for so they were with your forefathers. And they fail to see that my voice is heard, even in this last generation, for my Name’s sake.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p10}
“Give ear, and, now, listen: pray and fast, for great violence rises up in who claims to be my people. And there I will test you. And my voice shall be silent for a moment, and my eyes shall search the depths of your mind and heart. And there I will see closely, and you will be known as I know you. Then I will speak again [to] guide my real flock to safe pastures.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p11}
These were the words I received from the Eternal, and I faithfully pass them on to each of you. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p12}
