JUST SAY NO – SAVING GRACE PART III: REFUSING 666
Christmas Day, 2020, a pagan holiday for most, but The Star of Bethlehem is visible above us, which they are trying to hide with their geoengineering (but can’t)
In Revelation 13:16-18, the Technocracy and control of humanity being locked into place now as surveillance, vaccines with non-human messenger RNA, biometric data harvesting biometric markers, RFID tracking devices and 5G activated nanotechnology kill switches are being imposed on every human, except for those who will refuse. The 5G activated nanotechnology kill switches was rolled out in 1995 in the United States government military program OPERATION NANO DOMESTIC QUELL.
Operation Nano Domestic Quell is a directive to infuse the bodies of the human population with nanotechnology that would be triggered by 5G and the objectives’ goals are being consummated with the Covid Coronavirus vaccines so cut off the God gene and trap human consciousness via plasma screens. Polluting humans with nanotechnology gradually and consistently as years progressed since 1995 when the Operation Domestic Nano Quell was implemented, coupled with microwaves extra low frequency mind control and media with its cymatics, symbology and social programming narratives set up the masses to take the mark of the beast – even to ask for it, loving their captors, sheep to the slaughter willingly passing their children over the fire to Molech and their souls uploaded to the hive mind, worshipping science as their god instead of the omnipotent, unseen Creator of the Universe. A state of apotheosis where man himself will think he has become god.
WE ARE LIVING RIGHT NOW IN WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO QUELL YOUR AWARENESS OF AND RESPONSES TO
Since 2019 I have been in the AI program used by PayPal which used to identify those who will not be able to buy, sell or trade, forbidden to login and access my own funds – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS SATAN
We who will refuse to be denied food, services, the ability to go where they wish, and will be rounded up into FEMA camps for “re-education” or death (see part II of this series on The Shielding Approach). The fabricated metrics of the planned pandemic Covid will say they died of that. The 5G grid DEW Direct Energy Weapon control system will exterminate any humanity that refuses the hell-on-earth transhumanism. Human beings, so poisoned, blinded and toxified by Pharmakeia and programming, controlled by the Mark of the Beast vaccination implants and the WiFi and 5G, will never see past the skies hidden by the geoengineering, and will not “wake up” to the meaning of the Singularity Event which is coming, the Return of the King, Jesus Christ – THE WORD AND THE LIGHT.
I observe the last few days that the HAARP-controlled weather is blowing winds from the west to the east, in their Skynet Operation Solar Warden attempt to push back against the winds of the Most High God upon which Christ is coming with the clouds.
Here Bill Gates – an avatar of Satan – presents the FUNVAX vaccine to the Department of Defense in 2005 (and if you “google” it, SNOPES and other so-called “debunk” sites are liars owned by Satan’s dark brotherhoods – keep that in mind, if you still have a mind of your own).
All Covid vaccines include this.
It is His return that the controllers of the world have striven since time immemorial to hide. This is the soul trap, and there is no more reincarnation after the coming world-wide vesica piscis plasma event, which will draw the spirit out of all flesh, and the judgement will be based on their net positive force and faith in Christ, and having refused the Mark of the Beast.
“No man can buy or sell without the mark of the beast.” – Revelation 13:17
With nanobot microchip technology this prophecy is being fulfilled. For Revelation 14:10 says “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God without measure, and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone.” What is that wrath but the fire that will consume the earth in the extinction event of Singularity, and the soul, which does not exist in the body, but is eternal, will forever burn in the ultimate black hole in which death itself dies, and that death is the Devil, Satan?
This should be a wakeup call for those who consider themselves enlightened and awake, yet refuse to admit that no religion or construct has any truth but The Most High and Jesus Christ, yet call the travesties on earth “satanic ritual abuse” but still deny the reality of Satan – a proper noun as a person who rebelled against The Light who is Christ, created after him, who he rebelled against, therefore must be spelled with a capital “S”. The enormity of the ruse of spun narrative, pharmakeia and brainwashing is literally mind-blowing. I open my email and it’s just a sea of babble of talking heads. WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT THE SHROUD OF TURIN IS BASICALLY A SELFIE MADE WHEN JESUS’S BODY CAME BACK TO LIFE WITH THE ENERGY OF A SUPERNOVA, YET DIDN’T DESTROY THE CLOTH! That’s why it was hidden by Gnostics and knights and families who opposed “the universal church”. The Catholic Church is Satan’s machine! All religions are! There is ONLY TRUTH!
Refusing the Mark of the Beast means taking a stand for one’s holy bloodline because human beings are made in the image of the Creator of Creation. Refusing is a process in which one removes themselves from smart technology and society long before the moment in which one refuses being swabbed, injected or made to take a medication or treatment.
In the fall of 2018 I declined a job managing a physical therapy center because I refused to take the (Tuberculosis) TB Tine Test. The company, a large chain of outpatient post-op PT providers in the United States, would have allowed me to refuse the Hepatitis and “Flu” vaccines, but still required the TB Tine. Even two years ago, long before Covid was a word on anyone’s tongue, I refused invasive treatment. I began refusing all medical treatment of any sort including routine physicals and bloodwork in September 2016, and have not seen any “health professional” since then. When I was asked to take the TB Tine, I responded (it was a phone call with the company’s human resources office, and mind you all we are is a tracked asset to them, hence Maritime Law, accounting, and the birth of language of the cunieforms, invented to tabulate our value as livestock by the Mesopotamians) “I’ll spit in a cup for you to test me for antibodies, my blood’s already on record since birth, but that’s it, and if you can’t accept that, I refuse the hire”. The company would not accept a non-invasive solution for Tuberculosis testing [implantation of nanotechnology], and I stayed human and untrackable. I knew this over two years ago, and have been writing here since this website began about the prophecy being fulfilled now. The Johns Hopkins Hospital Infectious Disease Department was unwilling to treat me for Lyme Disease but insistent I get vaccinated and have mammograms and that was September 2016. Having been targeted and infected with Lyme by Satan’s demons – the same ones who operate as the C.I.A. who I refused to be recruited for in twelfth grade, who JFK tried to disempower and was assassinated for that – I learned firsthand and deciphered and have been writing about this here, and am heavily censored. My point? A person must wake up to ALL TRUTH, because it is CHRIST. To regurgitate the ideation of the Mark of the Beast and not recognize who the beast is and why he exists and what and who he is opposing is to stay in soul blindness. To persistently refuse to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Creator of Creation who incepted in a body and taught the world how to detox of the serpents within is folly and hubris. The tribulation will go on until every person has heard this message.
Detoxification and having been elected to this since before the earth was created brought me to this point, and readers of this are also offered the choices I had to make in order to save my own life after being denied diagnosis and treatment for Lyme disease, which became Morgellons syndrome. The fact is, some humans have spirits which were placed into what became their human body at the spark of their conception, and these are the true Israelites genetically. The Divine Grace of Yeshua Jesus Christ is the LOVE AND MERCY OF JEHOVAH, the Most High, who gave the life in His holy blood and broke the Satanic covenant humans entered into in the still-not-completely-imaginable-or-understood fall, which we certainly did.
It is easy to see the avenues the bobbleheads of the different pseudospiritual ideologies are availed to take. The very concept of The Creator and Dieism is diluted and distorted into the alien arguments. Reading the occulted antidiluvian and extrabiblical texts elucidates this, but it is another thing to attempt to make the comprehension made possible by the study of Patristics and Exotheology and Exogeopolitics palatable and digestible to readers, family members, friends. Still the masses are clueless that the Singularity earth extinction event is coming, and moreso that it is Jesus Christ. The Shroud of Turin was, in a sense, a trailer for the movie the world awaits. There will be no sequels.
What will we have to do to survive without taking the mark of the beast?
Jesus taught that we must detox and live by faith. Living by faith, by the unseen, not the seen, is what will allow us to make the hardest choices we will ever have had to make in order to refuse the mark of the beast. Living by faith is much easier when one detoxes! What does “living by faith” mean? To many readers it may sound like a cliched religious saying, but it is cymatically significant on a cellular level.
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” – 2 Corinthians 4:18
“In the bitter cold of winter the trees stand bare of leaves, and it seems as if their life, too, had departed for ever, yet in the spring time they put forth new leaves and beautiful flowers, and the fruit begins to show itself. So was it with Me in My crucifixion and resurrection, and so it is with my faithful cross-bearers” – 2 Corinthians 4:8-11; vi.4-10). Though they seem to be crushed and dead beneath their cross they still put forth the beautiful flowers and glorious fruits of eternal life which abide for ever.” – Sadhu Sundar Singh, AT THE MASTER’S FEET (full text follows the 3 WAYS TO REFUSE THE MARK OF THE BEAST)
I want to share three things which will help every reader to live by faith (even if they are not detoxed) for the message of salvation from Satan’s grip was offered to jews and gentiles, Egyptians, Greeks and aliens and blended races alike, once Jesus returned from his time in Asia and India and saw the tragedy of paganism and idol worship and the massive level of genetic pollution in all societies and cultures. Truly The Creator sent His Son on a DNA rescue mission.
“We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” – Isaiah 55:8
“The patience of man, which is right and laudable and worthy of the name of virtue, is understood to be that by which we tolerate evil things with an even mind, that we may not with a mind uneven desert good things, through which we may arrive at better. Wherefore the impatient, while they will not suffer ills, effect not a deliverance from ills, but only the suffering of heavier ills. Whereas the patient who choose rather by not committing to bear, than by not bearing to commit, evil, both make lighter what through patience they suffer, and also escape worse ills in which through impatience they would be sunk. But those good things which are great and eternal they lose not, while to the evils which be temporal and brief they yield not: because “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared,” as the Apostle says, “with the future glory that shall be revealed in us.” [Romans 8:18] And again he says, “This our temporal and light tribulation doth in inconceivable manner work for us an eternal weight of glory.” [2 Cor. 4:17] – ON PATIENCE — St. Augustine
THE THREE WAYS TO REFUSE THE MARK OF THE BEAST
1. PRAY SINCERELY – PRAYER IS OUR TESTIMONY TO SATAN AND ACTIVATES THE POWER OF JESUS’S BLOOD, WHICH THE SHROUD OF TURIN AND OUR OWN CELLULAR LIGHT PROVE IS GOD WITHIN US, AND DEFEATS SATAN
Prayer needs to be sincere, not ceremonial and memorized. Speak from the heart and the Holy Spirit, which is present within you, will guide you as you talk to The Creator. Jesus taught his followers to pray for their daily bread long before the microchip was something we now can think of. Elijah was fed by ravens when he fasted and prayed [1 Kings 17:6], and when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt across the Sinai Desert they were nourished by manna from heaven for forty years. Prayer attunes the person to the frequency of God and this is how we will be fed when we refuse the mark of the beast. Maligned as it is as fact by pagan religions and modern society, the scriptures both biblical and previously hidden (by the same world rulers we have now) give example after example of human beings being fed when they lived by faith and prayed.
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
“And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.” – John 21:5-6
In order for the divine food to come it was necessary to be on The Most High’s frequency. Some call that “being in tune with God.”
“When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.” – Matthew 14:13-21
That is all by FAITH, which manifested food for thousands from five loaves of bread and two dried fish, made possible by the meaning of 2 Corinthians 4:18, that the spirit and what is unseen is what is real, not what our worldly senses perceive and base belief upon. This is a direct and proven example, and what a person needs to rely upon, not the Covid vaccine!
THIS IS A DIRECT, PROVEN EXAMPLE OF WHAT ONE MUST RELY UPON TO REFUSE THE COVID VACCINE. Therefore, attune one’s frequency to The Creator for His shepherding to refuse the mark of the beast. Read The Essene Gospel of Peace Part I if you have not yet. NOW IS THE TIME TO FAST AS BEST YOU CAN. Fast for three days. My readers here will recall that I documented a fast lasting over two weeks here and witnessed through my writing that many veils placed upon me by Mystery Babylon just as they have upon everyone else: the campaign by Satan to hide from humans what The Truth is, the Gnostic Mysteries which the Freemasons have twisted inside-out and upside down. Every agenda begun by Osiris is locked into place now in the One World Order and forcing people to take the mark of the beast, marking their forehead and hand as satan’s soulless chattel.
After you fast as long as you can, one light daily vegan meal is all you need besides distilled water, moderate coffee and tea. Digitally detox and let yourself be guided to read scriptures, which hopefully include the apocryphal texts. Take walks and look up at the skies. Do what I did in 2018 and get rid of your smart device cellphone leash and digitally detox. I am revealing to you why I am online and post so infrequently and there are delays in my replies to emails and messages in Patreon.
The expression “ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL” has unsurpassed relevance: your single one soul is precious and you must take care so that no man may take your crown. Twisting the halo of our God-given crown, our soul, the serpentine viral code of coronavirus imitates it and hence the vaccine miscegenation of billions in Satan’s last-ditch quantum physics 5G nanotechnoly effort behind his Spacefenced skies to defeat the TRUE GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE – THE MOST HIGH GOD.
Your one choice, refusing the mark of the beast, caring for yourself, is what you do and is the most important thing of all to win the Holy War.
2. BREAK FROM MATERIALISM! On December 16, 2018 I published SAGE ADVICE: EMBRACE A LOW CREDIT SCORE https://eatingtoascend.com/2018/12/16/533/ and on September 5, 2019 I wrote an essay called THE DIGITAL DNA AND CREDIT SCORE – THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER DIGITAL DNA AND CREDIT SCORE TIE-IN FOR HUMAN CONTROL DISCLOSURE UNDERWAY https://eatingtoascend.com/2019/09/05/the-digital-dna-and-credit-score-the-social-security-number-digital-dna-and-credit-score-tie-in-for-human-control-disclosure-underway/ and both of these speak directly to the person one must be to refuse the mark of the beast. Be satisfied with just what one has: Jesus told his followers food and clothes would be provided to them. Consumerism, smart devices, good credit scores, careers and social standing are not what feeds the soul. Even having a roof over one’s head is not mentioned as an expectation provided the Children of the Light! In fact the expectations and aims of cultures, the creature comforts esteemed as part of “normal life” aren’t mentioned by Jesus in any way at all. So if one is going to survive without the mark of the beast put into their body somehow, it is going to involve poverty and poor credit. Taking into account that we have been informed by Satan through the agenda maker’s mouthpieces that all that we will have will be rented, imagine the interest rates, always higher for those with low credit scores. Rewarded for being dutiful slaves, order-following persons will continue to pay payments. We who thumb the nose at the mark of the beast will be provided for by the Creator of the Universe, without being usury victims.
I want to take a moment to remind readers that no other spiritual leader in time has spoken regarding the mark of the beast. This should be a wakeup call, especially as the dragon went to China and the snake was thrown to India, both facts from the Dead Sea Scrolls’ texts, the Apocrypha the Catholic Church hid to keep people ignorant and enslaved in paganism, which is following idols and false gods, and believe me, my time living in India confirmed this fact in situ, so I speak directly to my Hindu readers. I also speak to the Gaia goddess cult, the new age “christ consciousness” cult who still deny that Jesus is not just another ascended master, and by placing him on the level of half-human/half fallen angel hybrids (example: Buddha), deny GOD as they wiggle around in a soup of half-truths, eternally lost. The man who rose from the dead and whose blood came to life when cultured, with only 24 chromosomes is Jesus and denying this after being told these facts is sacrilige.
So to survive the mark of the beast one must SIMPLIFY AND KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE WITHOUT BUYING AND SELLING… and RENTING, AS WE ARE ALL TOLD WILL BE WHAT WILL BECOME THE WAY HUMANS LIVE, WHERE WE WON’T ANYTHING, BUT RATHER RENT IT, AND RECEIVE A UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME AND HAVE “WALKING PAPERS”: THE COVID PASS. It will be necessary to live without electricity and computers, games and consumer creature comforts, and not on what the world has dictated up until now. (Here is where the resourceful organic farmer loner thrives, and those who walk to the beat of a different drummer.) Be prepared to unplug and let go and let God. “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?” – Matthew 6:25-27
3. LIVE IN FAITH BY GIVING TO OTHERS AS WE WANT TO BE PROVIDED FOR, WITH NO THOUGHT OF SELFISHNESS. This level of faith is the kind of love The Creator seeks, and is the kind of faith that will help us to survive without taking the mark of the beast. WORKING FOR LOVE – NOT MONEY – IS THE WORK WHICH WILL SUSTAIN US WITHOUT TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST. The work of this world is enslavement, but to walk in faith is freedom and will be rewarded by God “…if any would not work, neither should he eat… But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing” – 2 Thessalonians 3:10, 13 For as we sow, so shall we reap. Religion, Inc. stresses working for money, but the Most High wants us to work with a radically different motivation than the worlds’: LOVE, using our time and energy. We have only a little bit of time before the mark of the beast is fully in place, so wherever we are, whoever we are with, disengage from dependence upon the system as much as possible and interconnect with and rely upon others interrelationally, pooling talents, resources and establishing a spiritual family to support one another in combined, joint refusal of the mark of the beast, for “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” – Matthew 18:20 when we do these things we will find God responding in ways that only He knows. This verse is worth repeating: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” – Isaiah 55:8
When Jesus sent his disciples to evangelize he gave them specific instructions: to preach the gospel, heal the sick and to cast out devils, all for free, without asking payment for these services.
“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” – Matthew 10:8
It’s a sobering thought when one realizes that the history of mankind on earth – as well as one’s own life – has been spent in slavery, pulling a paycheck and buying toys and keeping up with the Jones, paying the piper from cradle to grave. Now with blinding clarity some are beginning to see the necessity of being outside the herd and deriving one’s meaning from transactions which are spiritual, not monetary. The work of the spirit-filled is putting others above oneself, and freely giving all. We must give of ourselves as the waterfall cascading from the highest mountain, breaking over rocks, cascading uncountable droplets and molecules numerable only by the Most High GOD, who has numbered all of the hairs on our heads. I wrote of this when I shared with readers some of the truths revealed from the book I had read as a teenager and then finally found again and re-read called HIND’S FEET ON HIGH PLACES, and also in ABANDON TO LOVE (January 2019) where I quoted Bruce Lee: “BE LIKE WATER.” You see now why they killed him, and his son…” https://eatingtoascend.com/2019/01/26/abandon-to-love/
So as you look for ways to survive without taking the mark of the beast, find ways to serve others and be helpful, without payment, so that by freely giving, we may also receive, in the full work of love in action. This means we must BE WITH OTHERS supporting one another as one body in Christ, the LIGHT OF THE CREATOR THAT THEY WANT TO TURN OFF WITH THE CHIP. Sharing our talents is of the utmost importance in order to remain unpolluted by the mark of the beast in order to translate and ascend with Christ when he comes as the light of the singularity event they so desperately try to keep hiding with the geoengineering, their manufactured precipitation attempts and their spaceforces and 5G solar warden. (Just think of those two words together, it’s their sorceric admission of the prison environment of earth they seek to keep the CMEs – coronal mass ejections – effects from, to try to prevent by deflection the upcoming vesica piscis which will wipe the earth clean of them, of death, and of the earthlings who had lived and died lives of sedition, or taken the mark of the beast.
“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” – Revelation 12:11
Choose A DIFFERENT MARTYRDOM! https://eatingtoascend.com/2020/04/10/a-different-martyrdom/
YOU ARE A CHILD OF LIGHT, AND THAT IS WHAT TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST EXTINGUISHES. YOU MUST CHOOSE WISELY, AND MAKE WISE CHOICES (IF YOU CAN) FOR THE ONES YOU LOVE. YOUR SOULS DEPEND ON IT. ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL.
Woe to you when men praise you, for that means you have taken on their perverse ways and habits.

In the Bitter Cold of Winter the Trees Stand Bare of Leaves…
At The Master’s Feet — Sadhu Sundar Singh
1. In the bitter cold of winter the trees stand bare of leaves, and it seems as if their life, too, had departed for ever, yet in the spring time they put forth new leaves and beautiful flowers, and the fruit begins to show itself. So was it with Me in My crucifixion and resurrection, and so it is with my faithful cross-bearers (2 Cor. iv.8-11; vi.4-10). Though they seem to be crushed and dead beneath their cross they still put forth the beautiful flowers and glorious fruits of eternal life which abide for ever.
2. In grafting a sweet tree on to a bitter one, both feel the knife and both are called upon to suffer in order that the bitter may bear sweet fruit. So, too, in order to introduce good into man’s evil nature, it was necessary that first of all I Myself and afterwards believers also should suffer the agonies of the cross, that they might in future for ever bear good fruit, and thus the glorious love of God be made manifest.
3. If in this world men persecute and slander you do not let this surprise or distress you, for this is for you no place of rest, but a battlefield. Woe to you when men of the world praise you (Luke vi.26), for this proves that you have taken on their perverse ways and habits. It is against their very nature and temper to praise My children, for light and darkness cannot exist together. If for the sake of appearances evil men act contrary to their nature and cease to persecute you, yours is the greater injury, for their influence enters into your spiritual life, and your spiritual progress is hindered.
Further, to put your trust in the world or in worldly men is to build your house upon the sand, for today they will raise you aloft and tomorrow will so cast you down that there will be no trace left of you, for they are in all things unstable. When I went up to Jerusalem at the Passover, they all with one voice began to cry out, “Hosanna! Hosanna!” (Matt. xxi.9), and only three days after, when they saw that what I said was against their life of sin and self-seeking, they at once changed over and began to cry, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” (Luke xxiii.21).
4. If through some misunderstanding some, or even all, believers turn against you and cause you pain, you must not count it a misfortune, for if in all honesty and faithfulness under the guidance of the Holy Spirit you continue to do your duty, remember that God Himself and all the hosts of heaven are on your side.
Do not allow yourself to be discouraged, for the time is at hand when all your good designs and purposes and all your unselfish love will be made known to the whole world, and, in the presence of all, honour will be done to you for your labours and faithful service.
I, too, for the salvation of men, had to renounce all things, and was Myself renounced by all, yet at the last I regained all and everything. Neither be surprised if the world desert you, for it has deserted God Himself, so that in this you are seen to be a true son of your Father.
5. Do not suppose that those who live in luxury and seem to be always successful in worldly affairs are all true worshippers of God, for the opposite is often the case. It is possible for sheep to wander away from the fold and the shepherd, and find in the jungle good pasturage, but they are all the time in danger of being torn to pieces by wild beasts, which will indeed be their fate in the end. But those who abide in the fold with the shepherd, though they may appear to be sick and feeble, are certainly free from danger and in the shepherd’s care. This is the difference between believers and unbelievers.
6. The life of the believer and that of the unbeliever show great similarity in their beginning, but when their end comes, they are as diverse as the snake and the silkworm. The snake, however many times he casts his skin, remains a snake and nothing else, but the silkworm, when it casts off its unsightly cocoon, becomes a new creature, and as a dainty pretty moth flies about in the air. So the believer, casting aside this body, enters into a state of spiritual glory and flies about for ever in heaven, while the sinner after death is but a sinner still.
Though the silkworm, cramped within the cocoon, is in a state of depression and struggle as though upon a cross, yet this very condition of strife and difficulty gives strength to its wings, and fits it for the life that is to be. So My children, while in the body, are in a state of spiritual struggle and conflict, and look forward to their release with sighs and longing, but through the bearing of the cross I give them strength, and they become fully prepared and fitted for that state of endless life (Rom. viii.23).
In the midst of this spiritual warfare, and even while they are bearing their cross, I give them a truly wonderful peace of heart, that their courage may not fail. For instance, when a faithful martyr of Mine had borne witness to Me in word and deed, his enemies took him and hung him up to a tree head downwards. In this condition such was his peace of mind that he was utterly unconscious of the pain and disgrace to which he was subjected, and turning to his persecutors said, “The way you have treated me does not distress or dismay me, for I can expect nothing else in a world where everything is upside down, and where one can see nothing upright. In accordance with your own nature you have turned me as you think upside down, but in reality I am right side up. Just as when a slide is put into a magic lantern wrong way up it shows the picture correctly, so though now in the eyes of the world I am upside down, I am for ever right side up before God and the heavenly world, and I praise Him for this glorious cross.”
8. For believers it would sometimes be an easy thing to become a martyr to My Name, but I also need living witnesses who will daily offer themselves as living sacrifices for the salvation of others (1 Cor. xv.31). For death is easy, but it is hard to live, for a believer’s life is a daily dying. But those who are thus ready to lay down their lives for My sake shall share My glory and live with Me for ever in fullness of joy.
9. Should pain and suffering, sorrow, and grief, rise up like clouds and overshadow for a time the Sun of Righteousness and hide Him from your view, do not be dismayed, for in the end this cloud of woe will descend in showers of blessing on your head, and the Sun of Righteousness rise upon you to set no more for ever (John xvi.20-22).
