PAY ATTENTION!
BE ON WATCH AND UNDERSTAND!
THE CHURCH OF THE LORD WILL FALL ASLEEP COMPLETELY AND THEN ONLY WILL OCCUR
THE FINAL ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS!
All the proper nouns used
by Yehoah in His Bible have a very precise meaning in connection with what they
refer to. Thus the name of Satan indicates the adversary,
In the same way the name of
If you apply this to the
But for which reasons does the
Pride!
The first reason which
leads the Church of Laodicea in this bad way of life is her carnal nature which
makes her believe that she is able to take care alone of her future because she
is proud. The pride of
THAT SHE KNOWS ALWAYS EVERYHTING
ABOUT ANYTHING!
But her carnal and human nature deceives her
and let us read what Paul says about this:
"9 For this reason we also,
since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you
may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding; 10that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully
pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the
knowledge of Elohim;" (Colossians 1: 9-10)
The proud attitude of the
Drowsiness!
A second cause of the bad direction taken by
that Church is drowsiness that will have a synergistic effect with pride. A
synergistic effect means that the two causes, if they act at the same time will
have much more effect than each one acting separately: these two causes will have
a snowball effect!
The importance and the influence of
drowsiness is directly associated with the behavior of the members of the
Church and how they are linked and articulated between themselves in the body
of the Church. Each member if he fulfills well his role and his duty, that the Lord
planned for him thanks to the talent given, will be like Paul describes him:
"18Let no one cheat you of
your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels,
intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his
fleshly mind, 19and not holding fast to the Head, from whom
all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows
with the increase that is from Elohim."
(Colossians
2: 18-19)
It is a duty for each member of the body of
the Church of the Father to act as a responsible person before the Father Who
entrusts to him a series of talents:
11And He Himself (our Lord) gave
some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers, 12for the equipping of the saints for the work of
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13till we all come
to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, to a perfect
man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14that
we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of
deceitful plotting, 15but, speaking the truth in love, may
grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- 16from whom
the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies,
according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes
growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:
11-16)
To flee from our responsibilities and to
believe that we have already reached the target of our life is very dangerous,
especially in the end-time as all will occur precisely as Jesus prophesized it
in Matthew 25 with the parable of the ten virgins, five being wise and the five
others insane.
The most dramatic part of
this parable is THAT ALL THE TEN VIRGINS, THE INSANE ONES AND THE WISE ONES,
WILL FALL ASLEEP COMPLETELY!
The message is clear:
All the body of the Church of the Lord will fall asleep!
This is an important point to grasp and to
meditate because we are playing with our life. Some scholars wanted us to believe
that the five wise virgins are a symbol for the
This interpretation is in complete contradiction
with the book of Revelation. Indeed, if all the wise virgins have access to the
room of the weddings, like it is written in Matthew 25: 10, none of the
insane virgins will have the right to enter! (verses 11-13). However
this is not what Jesus-Christ reveals about the
17Because you say, "I am
rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you
are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked-- 18I counsel you to
buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments,
that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed;
and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19As many as
I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. (Revelation 3:
17-19)
This message is encouraging and very clear
because it promises that part of the
Moreover, an attentive observation of what
goes on in nature allows identifying with precision the ten virgins as a whole.
Indeed, nature teaches us that a sleeping body, like the ten virgins sees its
temperature decreasing significantly. Meanwhile, the temperature of a sleeping
body is between the colder temperature of a dead body and the hotter
temperature of an active body. Corpse is often qualified as cold. Lukewarm
means between cold and hot!
Having said this, in other words,
THE BODIES OF THE TEN VIRGINS ARE LUKEWARM!
They are neither hot, nor
cold, but between hot and cold, lukewarm!
It means that the ten virgins described in
verse 5 of chapter 25 in the book of Matthew:
"5But while the bridegroom
was delayed, they all slumbered and slept."
Are in a lukewarm status as

All the
Now let us continue further with our
comparison between a sleeping body and the body of the
The members of the sleeping Church will
behave in a similar way, i.e. without any link between each others.
This attitude combined with that of the
pride discussed above will lead the Church of Laodicea TO ACT NO MORE
ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF THE CREATOR AS REVEALED IN THE BIBLE, BUT REMEMBER
THAT "THE WORD OF THE LORD IS SHARPER THAN ANY TWOEDGED SWORD!"
On the contrary, each member of this Church
will according to his own personal feelings.
But should we be astonished to see a whole
Church falling completely asleep? Of course not, since the prophecy of the
Father warns us that this will arrive. Satan attacked already in the past the Head
of the Church, Jesus-Christ but he failed miserably. Now, in these end times,
knowing that the time left for him is shorter and shorter, the Devil will attack
the rest of the body of the Lord but he will do it at the most strategic places:
where there are articulations and bonds between the members. It will spread the
division between the members and where it will work, the body will start to
paralyze and to go numb. The correct function of the body will be destroyed.
What is certain, our Father and His son warned
us in advance,
THE DEVIL WILL SUCCEED IN HIS JOB
BUT FORTUNATELY HIS VICTORY WILL BE USELESS
It is
confirmed in the prophecy of Daniel:
"6And one said to the man
clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long shall
the fulfillment of these wonders be?"
7Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of
the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and
swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a
time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely
shattered, all these things shall be finished." (Daniel 12: 6-7)
Then, sisters
and brothers, we are warned and we should be prepared to face this situation
while being ready first of all to face with the worse situation, i.e. the most
difficult which can arise.
It will
be the case for those who among us will be members of the Church of Laodicea!
This
Church will sleep deeply at the time of the return of Jesus and if she wants
enter the weddings room and meet Him, it will be necessary for her to be purified
by the great tribulation about which the book of Revelation speaks.
Let us be
ready with this possibility but
WHO AMONG US IS SURE THAT HE WON'T FALL?
Paul for
instance became certain of his success only at the very end of his life:
"5But you be watchful
in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your
ministry.
Paul's Valedictory
6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the
time of my departure is at hand. 7I have fought the good fight, I
have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Finally, there is
laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved
His appearing." (II
Timothée 4: 5-8)
Paul, before
that, ran with the target in sight, and he had faith.
Consequently,
we should also persevere in all that is good: let us be humble in the face of the
Lord by fasting, do not wait for the atonement day to fast. Let us pray our
Father and ask Him more of the Holy Spirit.
Let us
follow His way of life, the only one which is good and which is explained in
the Bible. Let us act strongly and firmly anytime we have to.
Let us follow
the example shown by the Bereans who went each days check in the Book if what
they were tought is true (Acts chapter 17).
We must also
keep the hope, like Paul, the hope to live and reach the Kingdom of our
Father, choosing the best way, the one followed by the Church of Philadelphia, a
Church where each one loves her or his sisters and her or his brothers
according to the meaning of her name in Greek:
10Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also
will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to
test those who dwell on the earth. 11Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold
fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. (Revelation 3: 10-11)
