Sabbath Delight

1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

To many minds, the origin of sin and the reason for its existence are a source of great perplexity. They see the work of evil, with its terrible results of woe and desolation, and they question how all this can exist under the sovereignty of One who is infinite in wisdom, in power, and in love. Here is a mystery, of which they find no explanation. And in their uncertainty and doubt, they are blinded to truths plainly revealed in God’s word, and essential to salvation. There are those who, in their inquires concerning the existence of sin, endeavour to search into that which God has never revealed; hence they find no solution of their difficulties; and such as are actuated by a disposition to doubt and cavil, seize upon this as an excuse for rejecting the words of Holy Writ. Others, however, fail of a satisfactory understanding of the great problem of evil, from the fact that tradition and misinterpretation have obscured the teaching of the Bible concerning the character of God, the nature of His government, and the principles of His dealing with sin. {IC 2.6; CI 5.1}

It is impossible to explain the origin of sin so as to give a reason for its existence. Yet enough may be understood concerning both the origin and the final disposition of sin, to make fully manifest the justice and benevolence of God in all His dealings with evil. Nothing is more plainly taught in the Scripture than that God was in nowise responsible for the entrance of sin; that there was no arbitrary withdrawal of divine grace, no deficiency in the divine government, that gave occasion for the uprising of rebellion. Sin is an intruder, for whose presence no reason can be given. It is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it, is to defend it. Could excuse for it be found, or cause be shown for its existence, it would cease to be sin. Our only definition of sin is that given in the word of God; it is “the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4); it is the outworking of a principle at war with the great law of love which is the foundation of the divine government. {IC 2.7; CI 5.2}

Before the entrance of evil, there was peace and joy throughout the universe. All was in perfect harmony with the Creator’s will. Love for God was supreme, love for one another impartial. Christ the Word, the only-begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father, — one in nature, in character, and in purpose, — the only being in all the universe that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God. By Christ, the Father wrought in the creation of all heavenly beings. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:” Colossians 1:16; and to Christ, equally with the Father, all heaven gave allegiance. {IC 2.8; CI 6.1}

The law of love being the foundation of the government of God, the happiness of all created beings depended upon their perfect accord with its great principles of righteousness. God desires from all His creatures the service of love, — homage that springs from an intelligent appreciation of His character. He takes no pleasure in a forced allegiance, and to all He grants freedom of will, that they may render Him voluntary service. {IC 3.1; CI 6.2}

But there was one that chose to pervert this freedom. Sin originated with him who, next to Christ, had been most honored of God, and who stood highest in power and glory among the inhabitants of heaven. Before his fall, Lucifer was first of the covering cherubs, holy and undefiled. “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, . . . Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” Ezekiel 28:12-15. {IC 3.2; CI 6.3}

Lucifer might have remained in favor with God, beloved and honored by all the angelic host, exercising his noble powers to bless others and to glorify his Maker. But, says the prophet, “Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:” Ezekiel 28:17. Little by little, Lucifer came to indulge a desire for self-exaltation. “Thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God.” “Thou hast said, . . . . I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation. . . . I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” Ezekiel 28:6; Isaiah 14:13, 14. Instead of seeking to make God supreme in the affections and allegiance of His creatures, it was Lucifer’s endeavor to win their service and homage to himself. And coveting the honor which the infinite Father had bestowed upon His Son, this prince of angels aspired to power which it was the prerogative of Christ alone to wield. {IC 3.3; CI 7.1}

All heaven had rejoiced to reflect the Creator’s glory and to show forth His praise. And while God was thus honored, all had been peace and gladness. But a note of discord now marred the celestial harmonies. The service and exaltation of self, contrary to the Creator’s plan, awakened forebodings of evil in minds to whom God’s glory was supreme. The heavenly councils pleaded with Lucifer. The Son of God presented before him the greatness, the goodness, and the justice of the Creator, and the sacred, unchanging nature of His law. God Himself had established the order of heaven; and in departing from it, Lucifer would dishonor his Maker, and bring ruin upon himself. But the warning, given in infinite love and mercy, only aroused a spirit of resistance. Lucifer allowed jealousy of Christ to prevail, and he became the more determined. {IC 3.4; CI 7.2}

Pride in his own glory nourished the desire for supremacy. The high honors conferred upon Lucifer were not appreciated as the gift of God, and called forth no gratitude to the Creator. He gloried in his brightness and exaltation, and aspired to be equal with God. He was beloved and reverenced by the heavenly host. Angels delighted to execute his commands, and he was clothed with wisdom and glory above them all. Yet the Son of God was the acknowledged Sovereign of heaven, one in power and authority with the Father. In all the counsels of God, Christ was a participant, while Lucifer was not permitted thus to enter into the divine purposes, “Why,” questioned this mighty angel, “should Christ have the supremacy? Why is He thus honored above Lucifer?” {IC 3.5; CI 8.1}

Leaving his place in the immediate presence of God, Lucifer went forth to diffuse the spirit of discontent among the angels. Working with mysterious secrecy, and for a time concealing his real purpose under an appearance of reverence for God, he endeavored to excite dissatisfaction concerning the laws that governed heavenly beings, intimating that they imposed an unnecessary restraint. Since their natures were holy, he urged that the angels should obey the dictates of their own will. He sought to create sympathy for himself, by representing that God had dealt unjustly with him in bestowing supreme honor upon Christ. He claimed that in aspiring to greater power and honor he was not aiming at self-exaltation, but was seeking to secure liberty for all the inhabitants of heaven, that by this means they might attain to a higher state of existence. {IC 3.6; CI 8.2}

God, in His great mercy, bore long with Lucifer. He was not immediately degraded from his exalted station when he first indulged the spirit of discontent, nor even when he began to present his false claims before the loyal angels. Long was he retained in heaven. Again and again he was offered pardon, on condition of repentance and submission. Such efforts as only infinite love and wisdom could devise, were made to convince him of his error. The spirit of discontent had never before been known in heaven. Lucifer himself did not at first see whither he was drifting; he did not understand the real nature of his feelings. But as his dissatisfaction was proved to be without cause, Lucifer was convinced that he was in the wrong, that the divine claims were just, and that he ought to acknowledge them as such before all heaven. Had he done this, he might have saved himself and many angels. He had not at this time fully cast off his allegiance to God. Though he had forsaken his position as covering cherub, yet if he had been willing to return to God, acknowledging the Creator’s wisdom, and satisfied to fill the place appointed him in God’s great plan, he would have been reinstated in his office. But pride forbade him to submit. He persistently defended his own course, maintained that he had no need of repentance, and fully committed himself, in the great controversy, against his Maker. {IC 4.1; CI 8.3}

All the powers of his master mind were now bent to the work of deception, to secure the sympathy of the angels that had been under his command. Even the fact that Christ had warned and counseled him, was perverted to serve his traitorous designs. To those whose loving trust bound them most closely to him, Satan had represented that he was wrongly judged, that his position was not respected, and that his liberty was to be abridged. From misrepresentation of the words of Christ, he passed to prevarication and direct falsehood, accusing the Son of God of a design to humiliate him before the inhabitants of heaven. He sought also to make a false issue between himself and the loyal angels. All whom he could not subvert and bring fully to his side, he accused of indifference to the interests of heavenly beings. The very work which he himself was doing, he charged upon those who remained true to God. And to sustain his charge of God’s injustice toward him, he resorted to misrepresentation of the words and acts of the Creator. It was his policy to perplex the angels with subtle arguments concerning the purposes of God. Everything that was simple he shrouded in mystery, and by artful perversion cast doubt upon the plainest statements of Jehovah. His high position, in such close connection with the divine administration, gave greater force to his representations, and many were induced to unite with him in rebellion against Heaven’s authority. {IC 4.2; CI 9.1}

God in His wisdom permitted Satan to carry forward his work, until the spirit of disaffection ripened into active revolt. It was necessary for his plans to be fully developed, that their true nature and tendency might be seen by all. Lucifer, as the anointed cherub, had been highly exalted; he was greatly loved by the heavenly beings, and his influence over them was strong. God’s government included not only the inhabitants of heaven, but of all the worlds that He had created; and Satan thought that if he could carry the angels of heaven with him in rebellion, he could carry also the other worlds. He had artfully presented his side of the question, employing sophistry and fraud to secure his objects. His power to deceive was very great, and by disguising himself in a cloak of falsehood he had gained an advantage. Even the loyal angels could not fully discern his character, or see to what his work was leading. {IC 4.3; CI 10.1}

Satan had been so highly honored, and all his acts were so clothed with mystery, that it was difficult to disclose to the angels the true nature of his work. Until fully developed, sin would not appear the evil thing it was. Heretofore it had had no place in the universe of God, and holy beings had no conception of its nature and malignity. They could not discern the terrible consequences that would result from setting aside the divine law. Satan had, at first, concealed his work under a specious profession of loyalty to God. He claimed to be seeking to promote the honor of God, the stability of His government, and the good of all the inhabitants of heaven. While instilling discontent into the minds of the angels under him, he had artfully made it appear that he was seeking to remove dissatisfaction. When he urged that changes he made in the order and laws of God’s government, it was under the pretense that these were necessary in order to preserve harmony in heaven. {IC 4.4; CI 10.2}

In His dealing with sin, God could employ only righteousness and truth. Satan could use what God could not — flattery and deceit. He had sought to falsify the word of God, and had misrepresented His plan of government before the angels, claiming that God was not just in laying laws and rules upon the inhabitants of heaven; that in requiring submission and obedience from His creatures, He was seeking merely the exaltation of Himself. Therefore it must be demonstrated before the inhabitants of heaven, as well as of all the worlds, that God’s government was just, His law perfect. Satan had made it appear that he himself was seeking to promote the good of the universe. The true character of the usurper, and his real object, must be understood by all. He must have time to manifest himself by his wicked works. {IC 4.5; CI 11.1}

The discord which his own course had caused in heaven, Satan charged upon the law and government of God. All evil he declared to be the result of the divine administration. He claimed that it was his own object to improve upon the statutes of Jehovah. Therefore it was necessary that he should demonstrate the nature of his claims, and show the working out of his proposed changes in the divine law. His own work must condemn him. Satan had claimed from the first that he was not in rebellion. The whole universe must see the deceiver unmasked. {IC 5.1; CI 11.2}

Even when it was decided that he could no longer remain in heave, Infinite Wisdom did not destroy Satan. Since the service of love can alone be acceptable to God, the allegiance of His creatures must rest upon a conviction of His justice and benevolence. The inhabitants of heaven and of other worlds, being unprepared to comprehend the nature or consequences of sin, could not then have seen the justice and mercy of God in the destruction of Satan. Had he been immediately blotted from existence, they would have served God from fear, rather than from love. The influence of the deceiver would not have been fully destroyed, nor would the spirit of rebellion have been utterly eradicated. Evil must be permitted to come to maturity. For the good of the entire universe through endless ages, Satan must more fully develop his principles, that his charges against the divine government might be seen in their true light by all created beings, that the justice and mercy of God and the immutability of His law might forever be placed beyond all question. {IC 5.2; CI 11.3}

Satan’s rebellion was to be a lesson to the universe through all coming ages, a perpetual testimony to the nature and terrible results of sin. The working out of Satan’s rule, its effects upon both men and angels, would show what must be the fruit of setting aside the divine authority. It would testify that with the existence of God’s government and His law is bound up the well-being of all the creatures He has made. Thus the history of this terrible experiment of rebellion was to be a perpetual safeguard to all holy intelligences, to prevent them from being deceived as to the nature of transgression, to save them from committing sin and suffering its punishment. {IC 5.3; CI 12.1}

To the very close of the controversy in heaven, the great usurper continued to justify himself. When it was announced that with all his sympathizers he must be expelled from the abodes of bliss, then the rebel leader boldly avowed his contempt for the Creator’s law. He reiterated his claim that angels needed no control, but should be left to follow their own will, which would ever guide them right. He denounced the divine statutes as a restriction of their liberty, and declared that it was his purpose to secure the abolition of law; that, freed from this restraint, the hosts of heaven might enter upon a more exalted, more glorious state of existence. {IC 5.4; CI 12.2}

With one accord, Satan and his host threw the blame of their rebellion wholly upon Christ, declaring that if they had not been reproved, they would never have rebelled. Thus stubborn and defiant in their disloyalty, seeking vainly to overthrow the government of God, yet blasphemously claiming to be themselves the innocent victims of oppressive power, the archrebel and all his sympathizers were at last banished from heaven. {IC 5.5; CI 13.1}

The same spirit that prompted rebellion in heaven, still inspires rebellion on earth. Satan has continued with men the same policy which he pursued with the angels. His spirit now reigns in the children of disobedience. Like him they seek to break down the restraints of the law of God, and promise men liberty through transgression of its precepts. Reproof of sin still arouses the spirit of hatred and resistance. When God’s messages of warning are brought home to the conscience, Satan leads men to justify themselves, and to seek the sympathy of others in their course of sin. Instead of correcting their errors, they excite indignation against the reprover, as if he were the sole cause of difficulty. From the days of righteous Abel to our own time, such is the spirit which has been displayed toward those who dare to condemn sin. {IC 5.6; CI 13.2}

By the same misrepresentation of the character of God as he had practiced in heaven, causing Him to be regarded as sever and tyrannical, Satan induced man to sin. And having succeeded thus far, he declared that God’s unjust restrictions had led to man’s fall, as they had to led to his own rebellion. {IC 5.7; CI 13.3}

But the Eternal One Himself proclaims His character: “The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty;” Exodus 34:6, 7. {IC 5.8; CI 13.4}

In the banishment of Satan from heaven, God declared His justice, and maintained the honor of His throne. But when man had sinned through yielding to the deceptions of this apostate spirit, God gave an evidence of His love by yielding up His only-begotten Son to die for the fallen race. In the atonement the character of God is revealed. The mighty argument of the cross demonstrates to the whole universe that the course of sin which Lucifer had chosen was in nowise chargeable upon the government of God. {IC 5.9; CI 14.1}

In the contest between Christ and Satan, during the Saviour’s earthly ministry; the character of the great deceiver was unmasked. Nothing could so effectually have uprooted Satan from the affections of the heavenly angels and the whole loyal universe, as did his cruel warfare upon the world’s Redeemer. The daring blasphemy of his demand that Christ should pay him homage, his presumptuous boldness in bearing Him to the mountain summit and the pinnacle of the temple, the malicious intent betrayed in urging Him to cast Himself down from the dizzy height, the unsleeping malice that hunted Him from place to place, inspiring the hearts of priests and people to reject His love, and at the last to cry, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” — all this excited the amazement and indignation of the universe. {IC 6.1; CI 14.2}

It was Satan that prompted the world’s rejection of Christ. The prince of evil exerted all his power and cunning to destroy Jesus; for he saw that the Saviour’s mercy and love, His compassion and pitying tenderness, were representing to the world the character of God. Satan contested every claim put forth by the Son of God, and employed men as his agents to fill the Saviour’s life with suffering and sorrow. The sophistry and falsehood by which he had sought to hinder the work of Jesus, the hatred manifested through the children of disobedience, his cruel accusations against Him whose life was one of unexampled goodness, all sprang from deep-seated revenge. The pent-up fires of envy and malice, hatred and revenge, burst forth on Calvary against the Son of God, while heaven gazed upon the scene in silent horror. {IC 6.2; CI 14.3}

When the great sacrifice had been consummated, Christ ascended on high, refusing the adoration of angels until He had presented the request, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am;” John 17:24. Then with inexpressible love and power came forth the answer from the Father’s throne, “And let all the angels of God worship him.” Hebrews 1:6. Not a stain rested upon Jesus. His humiliation ended, His sacrifice completed, there was given unto Him a name that is above every other name. {IC 6.3; CI 15.1}

Now the guilt of Satan stood forth without excuse. He had revealed his true character as a liar and a murderer. It was seen that the very same spirit with which he ruled the children of men, who were under his power, he would have manifested had he been permitted to control the inhabitants of heaven. He had claimed that the transgression of God’s law would bring liberty and exaltation; but it was seen to result in bondage and degradation. {IC 6.4; CI 15.2}

Satan’s lying charges against the divine character and government appeared in their true light. He had accused God of seeking merely the exaltation of Himself in requiring submission and obedience from His creatures, and had declared that while the Creator exacted self-denial from all others, He Himself practiced no self-denial and made no sacrifice. Now it was seen that for the salvation of a fallen and sinful race, the Ruler of the universe had made the greatest sacrifice which love could make; for “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.” 2 Corinthians 5:19. It was seen, also, that while Lucifer had opened the door for the entrance of sin, by his desire for honor and supremacy, Christ had, in order to destroy sin, humbled Himself, and become obedient unto death. {IC 6.5; CI 15.3}

God had manifested His abhorrence of the principles of rebellion. All heaven saw His justice revealed, both in the condemnation of Satan and in the redemption of man. Lucifer had declared that if the law of God was changeless, and its penalty could not be remitted, every transgressor must be forever debarred from the Creator’s favor. He had claimed that the sinful race were placed beyond redemption, and were therefore his rightful prey. But the death of Christ was an argument in man’s behalf that could not be overthrown. The penalty of the law fell upon Him who was equal with God, and man was free to accept the righteousness of Christ, and by a life of penitence and humiliation to triumph, as the Son of God had triumphed, over the power of Satan. Thus God is just, and yet the justifier of all who believe in Jesus. {IC 6.6; CI 16.1}

But it was not merely to accomplish the redemption of man that Christ came to the earth to suffer and die. He came to “magnify the law” and to “make it honorable.” Not alone that the inhabitants of this world might regard the law as it should be regarded; but it was to demonstrate to all the worlds of the universe that God’s law is unchangeable. Could its claims have been set aside, then the Son of God need not have yielded up His life to atone for its transgression. The death of Christ proves it immutable. And the sacrifice to which infinite love impelled the Father and the Son, that sinners might be redeemed, demonstrates to all the universe — what nothing less than this plan of atonement could have sufficed to do — that justice and mercy are the foundation of the law and government of God. {IC 6.7; CI 16.2}

In the final execution of the judgment it will be seen that no cause for sin exists. When the Judge of all the earth shall demand of Satan, “Why hast thou rebelled against Me, and robbed Me of the subjects of My kingdom?” the originator of evil can render no excuse. Every mouth will be stopped, and all the hosts of rebellion will be speechless. {IC 7.1; CI 16.3}

The cross of Calvary, while it declares the law immutable, proclaims to the universe that the wages of sin is death. In the Saviour’s expiring cry, “It is finished,” the death knell of Satan was rung. The great controversy which had been so long in progress was then decided, and the final eradication of evil was made certain. The Son of God passed through the portals of the tomb, that “through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Hebrews 2:14. Lucifer’s desire for self-exultation had led him to say, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: . {IC 7.2}

. . I will be like the Most High.” God declares, “I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth, . . . and never shalt thou be anymore.” Isaiah 14:13, 14. Ezekiel 28:18, 19. When “the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven, . . all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.” Malachi 4:1. {IC 7.3; CI 17.1}

The whole universe will have become witnesses to the nature and results of sin. And its utter extermination, which in the beginning would have brought fear to angels and dishonor to God, will now vindicate His love and establish His honor before the universe of beings who delight to do His will, and in whose heart is His law. Never will evil again be manifest. Says the word of God, “Affliction shall not rise up the second time.” Nahum 1:9. The law of God, which Satan has reproached as the yoke of bondage, will be honored as the law of liberty. A tested and proved creation will never again be turned from allegiance to Him whose character has been fully manifested before them as fathomless love and infinite wisdom. {IC 7.4; CI 17.2}

Beloved, on August 20, 2017, I was given another dream. I was in a city, then suddenly, I saw terror and horror, and this was everywhere, because fireballs were falling. {Daisy Escalante: 08-20-2017 , en.p1}

So when these fireballs fell, they sounded like explosions, so there was smoke everywhere. Everyone started running desperately from one side to the other!, and there suddenly, my companion raised his arm and pointed his arm at several mountains. Then my eyes as if they opened and I could see lines of people climbing these mountains, they were not many in number, but they were all quickly climbing the mountains. Then my companion told me: “these will find refuge from the desolation of the cities because the punishment for them is imminent.” Then, suddenly, I saw how everyone already sought a refuge in the mountains and the fireballs kept falling and devastating city after city. There was death, terror and destruction, then all this was the only thing that was seen, suddenly I was taken to different parts of the world on a tour of different continents, I was on high and I could see the continents and the Islands. Then there I was able to see that all the cities were swept away as if by a blowing way. {Daisy Escalante: 08-20-2017 , en.p2}

Then I despaired when I saw this!, and my companion told me: “the anger, the anger of the nations is terrible!, it is instigated by the adversary of God, and their lairs are the cities!, so tell them to get out quickly because everything is ready.” So at that moment, when he said that, I went flying over all those cities, and then I was taken to the mountain and there we began to pray fervently to God for His protection, and for Him to send His angels to take care of us. {Daisy Escalante: 08-20-2017 , en.p3}

Then, I began to hear, in the distance, cries of despair in the cities, so we were there but we could not do anything. Then it is a despair because you cannot do anything! So I said to my companion: “what can we do?” Then he said to me: “tell them that the time is almost up, that if they want to be safe they must leave.” Then, he said to me: “don’t worry, don’t worry, the wise will understand,” because I was desperate to see all this! {Daisy Escalante: 08-20-2017 , en.p4}

Then at that moment, when he told me: “the wise will understand,” he told me: “tell them these three steps; They must first recognize, recognize that they are nothing, nothing without our God; second, that they humble themselves before God, that they ask for forgiveness from the heart and that they turn away from evil and iniquity; and third step, he told me: that they restore, restitution, amend everything that we can, to be accountable to God and our neighbor.” So when he told me this, I was trying to internalize it, that I will not forget it, I began to repeat it. Then he continued saying to me, “this will put them right with God and they will be told what to do and doors will open that no one can close, run, go and tell them!” {Daisy Escalante: 08-20-2017 , en.p5}

So at that moment, there I woke up, I woke up with the urge to tell this immediately to the people, but it has been very difficult, the enemy of souls has intervened in all ways so that this could take place right at this moment, but We give glory to God, because on this day, God has conquered and we have been able to get this out so that many people can hear it, so let’s follow God’s guidelines so that we can be saved under His wings. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 08-20-2017 , en.p6}

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}

Beloved, April 4, 2019. In dreams I saw a man who passed in front of us, he was wearing shorts and did not have a shirt. I heard a person who also saw him say: “look at this man! from smoking he has rotten sores on his legs.” When I looked I saw that there were not only sores but a very thick fur like animal hair, it was very curly on his calves, legs and back; the same fur that he carry in his hair, it was very bulky. At that moment I managed to see his face, and from his mouth came out a tongue divided at its beginning, like a serpent. At this moment I exclaimed: “he is a possessed person!” When I said this, the others were scared, and I saw this being that he began to touch many, and those he touched became that horrible and mutated nature as how he was seen. Many did not discern what was happening, but the few who realized what had happened were giving the alert to others. Wherever this being passed, everything was destroyed and the disorder and chaos were the evidence that by that place it had passed. {Daisy Escalante: 04-04-2019 , en.p1}

Then I saw a family, that one of their lost children had been mutated by this, and he returned and approached his brother with great familiarity until he sucked him with his presence and I no longer saw the one he had sucked. I saw many making preparations for the passover, but these mutated humans destroyed and sabotaged everything in their path. I saw others also in their planting field and these mutants passed between the fields and destroyed everything. So at that moment I asked: “why do they have the power for this?” I was answered: “it is their hour, and whoever does not watch and is ready, they will arrive and loot everything in their path.” Then my companion said: “What then should you do? Ask in prayer and supplication that the owner of the barn accept you in His barn, ask for discernment, ask for wisdom and meekness, ask for His protection at all times because the enemy will shake with great force and fury, it is not time to sleep and be in indolence because the time is fulfilled, this fulfillment of the time will be for the rise and fall of many but still for this there is a deadline.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-04-2019 , en.p2}

“Be firm and ready because you do not know what time your shaking will come. Pray at all times and places and make a pact through sacrifices before the Lord Jesus, pray that the refreshment does not pass from you but rests in you, for only thus freed from the great yoke of this world and from your broken chains. This will be for liberation in turn for you and also for others.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-04-2019 , en.p3}

“Nobody pretend because God cannot be mocked, your scoffers are on the prowl but surrender your anxieties to the Heavenly Father because He will take care in extreme of you; Remember that the good shepherd has never lost a sheep, because even the lost one He found and brought it to His fold, humble your lives, die to the desires of the world clinging to the God of the harvest, hate what is bad and desire for what is good, live every day as if it were the last, confess and turn away from all iniquity so that you can receive the most wonderful of the gifts from heaven, that is, the refreshment, which will enable you for the great final trial. Scrutinize Matthew 4, there are great lessons for you, ask and it will be given to you, knock and it will be opened to you.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-04-2019 , en.p4}

There I woke up, beloved brothers, I leave this with you, may God direct you always, it is my wish and prayer, blessings. {Daisy Escalante: 04-04-2019 , en.p5}

Matthew 4

1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

Beloved, May 27, 2019. In dreams I was in a wide field of land where there were many houses. There was a very mighty river and some large caves where people went there to see the attraction of them. I saw three people enter there, two adults and a young man. As I listened to their voice talking about the beauties seen there, everything began to shake strongly, and this movement increased, I saw only two people come out of the three who entered the cave. I saw many running and many screams that began their sound and ended, because part of the mountain began to slide, taking everything in its path: houses, cars, people, animals; That scene was terrible! I could not conceive the magnitude of the event and the destruction! {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p1}

After such a tragic scene, I saw the wealthy take advantage of the victims, they did not extend their hands to the homeless, and they took advantage of the dying, the widow was taken away the little that was left with her, and the orphan was oppressed; many of those who were still alive, their lives were so difficult that I could hear them wish they had died; people tired looking for their missing loved ones to no avail; all that had been worked on in a life time were now buried ruins and many with their dreams. Suffering, food shortage, and the smallest in real need was not found. {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p2}

My companion said: “Jeremiah 4:9,” and continued saying: “gird up your loins and be ready, obey the Holy One of Israel and do not listen to doctrines of demons.” At that moment I asked: “please tell me how to know a doctrine of demon?” He told me: “every mixture of truth with error, and incomplete truth, does not come from the High and Sublime God, this is the doctrine of demons. Prepare yourselves! prepare yourselves!” He continued saying, “because a stupendous crisis, of great mortality, ruin, and great calamity is approaching, step by step; stand on the Eternal Rock and meticulously follow its instructions, only then can you be freed; fast, pray at all times, it is not time to sleep! that your heart is agitated with pain for sin and seek holiness without which no one will see the Lord. All those who remain in the cities will die irremissibly, avoid them in the least, hasten your preparation and leave them because horror upon horror, slaughter upon slaughter awaits them, and who knows their visitation but the Holy and Sublime? There the inhabitants of them will weep, and the hearts of many will fail when they understand that their evil hearts fed love for them.” And so He ended by saying: “come out of them, my people, because their hour has come! because if you delay, who will be able to free you?” And He gave me another quote: “Hosea 4:9.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p3}

At that moment, beloved, there I woke up, praying and asking the Lord that all of us can be prepared for what is coming, but not with our own strength but clinging to Jesus Christ so that we can overcome. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p4}

Jeremiah 4:9

9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

Hosea 4:9

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

May 4, 2020. In dreams, I was walking in a city with many people, and I stopped to observe a body of water that was nearby. As I looked at the water I saw many bubbles coming out of it. I stood there thinking about what that could be, when I saw three huge frogs coming out of the water. They opened their mouths and, from them, hundreds of frogs came out and started jumping over the people. I told many of them to run with me to a corner of the city and that from there we could get out of it. {Daisy Escalante: 05-04-2020 , en.p1}

Some of them listened to me and we ran towards the place. The frogs hopped all over the place and on top of the people. Soon, all of us who ran to the edge of the city began to get out of it, through a rural road that was there. I stood on said road and urged them to advance. Some advanced with all their strength, others with less, and others with great complaints, but all advanced. {Daisy Escalante: 05-04-2020 , en.p2}

Soon a young man was left behind, and a frog caught up with him and jumped on his forehead. I ran to him and, with my hand, grabbed the frog to remove it from his forehead. As I pulled it off the young man screamed and grabbed his forehead. I saw how, as I pulled the frog, it had fused with the young man’s forehead and the young man’s skin was coming along with the frog I was removing. He began to bleed heavily until he collapsed to the floor from the great loss of blood. As I saw this young man lie there on the floor, his skin changed and became the color of the frog. I despaired, I didn’t know what to do! I prayed to God for him! Then I heard these words: “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.” There I woke up. {Daisy Escalante: 05-04-2020 , en.p3}

It was horrible to witness this, beloved brothers! Let us take care, let us watch, in the light of the Holy Word of God, the transformation of our being! Because, very soon, there will be only two groups, two types of transformation: one in the likeness of God and the other in the likeness of the father of perdition. May God grant that we decide correctly, and may we be transformed, with God’s help, into His image and likeness. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 05-04-2020 , en.p4}

February 13, 2021. In dreams, a house that had several rooms was big and spacious, there in it a family organized everything because the house was very disordered. I saw how they worked hard in this and how the appearance of that place was progressing; and almost to finish the arduous task, I saw a woman who came out of the door from one room to another. She trafficked throughout all the house and entered from place to place to change from place everything that the family had already accommodated. The family had already left the house after finishing the arrangement of it, and they did not realize what was happening with this woman inside the house. She would stop, look carefully at everything and proceed with the changes that were seen not to be helpful at all. So she went from place to place until the whole house was formatted in her own way and she looked happy. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p1}

I saw that the family that had left the house tried hard to organize every part of the land that belonged to them. I saw many metal pipes, thick and thin metal plates, and wooden sticks, and several places on their land that were with these materials; but they worked laboriously in the picking and arranging of that place. I saw how they got to the place of the thick metal plates and could not lift them. Then I saw that one of them left and then came to the premises and came with two machinists, with two heavy equipment machines, excavators. The young man of the family drove one and the man who ran the other was not from the family. I saw the head of the family, the father of the family, give instructions on where to put the thick plates that he wanted to move, from where they were to the place where he wanted to organize them; and that’s how it began to be done, And so the head of the family and his wife went to work in another part of the land in other organizing, but this one more lighter, while the machinists did their work. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p2}

I saw that after a few minutes after the machinists began to do their work, the woman who was inside the house came out and began to give orders that were very different from those given by the head of the family; and one of the machinists, the one who was not from the family, began to do everything as the woman told him. And the other machinist, the young man, the couple’s son, did not follow the woman’s instructions and called the head of the family. Thus the head of the family arrived at the place and realized what had happened, and tried to make the machinist understand who had listened to the woman why he had given that order of putting the thick plates in another place; and so I saw that the intruding woman hid behind a tree so the head of the family didn’t see her. But the machinists turned again to execute the direction of the head of the family and everything continued in order. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p3}

Passing a long time, the machinists went near a great river that passed near the property; and the head of the family gave instructions for the improvement and effective use of that place. Thus the machinists began their work, and the head of the family and his wife went to the house for food; Upon entering the house they realized that everything had been changed and in disorder, so they began the work of rearranging everything again and thoroughly, and they checked (checked) every corner of the house. They prepared food and this time when they left they locked the doors and they went to where the machinists were. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p4}

When they arrived they saw that they were already resting under the shade of a tree. The young machinist looked distressed while the other was calm. The head of the family observed the work, grabbed his head and exclaimed: “why have you done this?” The man machinist said: “a woman came, and said that by your consent that you changed your mind and that you wanted it to be done this way.” The young machinist exclaimed: “I was going to shout but the woman told me: ‘your father will arrive right now, it is better to do what he ordered, than to be making complaints!’ So I did a little bit, but since it didn’t seem like it, I stopped the machine and she yelled at me to continue, but when the machine stopped I removed the key and no one could move it; and this man was the one who executed everything that you ordered through the woman according to what she told us.” The head of the family could not believe what his eyes saw, of having a river bank with beautiful stones to the beautiful river, now there was an abyss of great danger between the property and the river; So this is how, the head of the family fired the man who allowed himself to be carried away by the intruding woman, and he sent for helpers to repair what was damaged on his property; They arrived and together with him and the young man they repaired everything and everything was more beautiful than it was before, and many were able to enjoy the beautiful remodeling. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p5}

Then they went through the premises, they proceeded to search meticulously for that intruding woman who had hindered everything; They found her and took her away from everyone to a vast desert and there they abandoned her, and they never saw her again. And so all was peace in that place where order reigned, hard work but much happiness. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p6}

There I woke up and at that moment “Colossians chapter 2 and chapter 3 was referred to me.” I leave this with you, beloveds, let’s analyze what the LORD wants to say to us in this hour, and let’s just follow a ”thus says Jehovah.” May the LORD bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p7}

Colossians 2

1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Colossians 3

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
