"And His Own People Did Not Receive Him" - Betrayal and Loyalty
Thanks to Harry for the meme, which really just feels like how I feel at times. How many can relate?
This is a post from Witness 2 on betrayal and loyalty in the end times. It has a short message from Witness 1, as well. It has reader contributions from Salim (Frenchanon) and Harry. As always, may God bless all those who contribute in Jesus's name. This post is dedicated to J and K for their recent contributions to this ministry. Thank you for your support.
Introduction - Betrayal
I have been betrayed my whole life by nearly everyone I know. I am not lying when I say this - Witness 1 can back me up. The people who I thought would always be there for me or support me were often those who betrayed me the most - even up to this very moment I write this.
All of the time, people betray me. I have been betrayed several times this past week.
It is the most painful feeling there is - it is difficult to express. I am sure many readers can relate to this. Of course, there is comfort in Scripture. I am now on the book of John, and I started John 1 last night, and this verse stood out to me:
11 He came to his own,[b] and his own people[c] did not receive him.
If people denied God himself, surely they will deny any of His prophets or true people, especially in the end times. This message isn't just for me - it's for anyone who has been betrayed by your own people. It reminds me of this quote:
"Do you expect to be honored in a world where Christ was crucified?" - Charles Spurgeon
In our real life ministry, we do not work with our "own" people. If this is about race, our real life ministry has very few white people and mostly people from other races and ethnicities all over the world (approaching about 20 countries). I say the following message in a respectful way, and if you haven't figured it out, Witness 1 and I are white. Remember, this blog isn't "politically correct." There are other races and ethnicities, and we are not "color blind." We do unironically embrace diversity, and honestly, Witness 1 can tell you most of my friends are really people from all over the world, of different races, cultures, and backgrounds.
In our real life ministry, the people are SO KIND TO ME!
I am not lying when I say I am the same on the blog as I am to them. They are the best people I have ever met, and they have received me and accepted me. They do not care if I am a woman - they just call me mom. They never judge me for what I look like, what I wear, or how I talk. They are always uplifting me in prayer, and yes, they know what I think about the vaccines and the end times. I am truly myself around them, with my dark sense of humor and all. I was reading a children's book the other night, and I believe this summarized it well about how Jesus Christ has "sheep" from all over the world:
Yes, some may want money and such but not everyone. We weed out people there just for money. Some of them have become my closest friends and companions. They have received me.
Going back to the main point, some reading this blog will not receive me. However, instead of focusing on the negative today, let's focus on the positive. There are some amazing people who read our posts, and I cannot deny that! Even if it is a small group of people, that's okay. There are people who do listen and take a chance. I really appreciate the emails we have been receiving, and shout-out to Jane and Kathy for being beautiful women of Jesus Christ!
Moving on, here is one of the people who has received us. Salim, I do not know how to thank you for these words. I didn't include the whole message because it was personal, but I included part of it for readers.
A Word from Salim on Our Ministry
Good for you to be back Witnesses 1 and 2! I missed your words! 😁
I thank God that you're back. ��[The emojis are cute.]
I also would like to clarify a little something concerning the messages I sent you back then, just to clarify something :
You, and Witness 1 are both people who have been chosen by God. Your blog is one of the best things on the Internet right now. Your blog give swords and shields to fight evil spirits, alongside extremely important information concerning the spiritual state of the world, to any who desire to have those swords, shields and information.
I can't stress that enough : I consider your blog one of the most important things on the Internet right now. And the two of you ARE holy and chosen people by God.
If people follow you, learn from you, learn the information that you give them for free on your blog, they can get better spiritually and emotionally.
But then, your blog, a very important source of information for spiritual benefits, got shutdown, and I thought this:
I believed that evil men in powers made sure to shutdown your website so that the information that you provide them for free would be gone as well.
[Thoughts from Witness 2: Salim, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Yes, I do believe Satan himself has been trying to stop me, but I know I conquer him in the name of Jesus Christ.
I knew God would rescue me from the situation, and He did. Father in Heaven, please bless Salim for helping us and encouraging us in Jesus's name.]
Going back to my main message, if people will not receive me, that's okay. I understand I have been betrayed and will continued to be betrayed. At this point, nothing can surprise me.
In fact, sometimes it's the people you wouldn't expect - the people who say they support you so much and are always there for you.
Either way, loyalty is important to Jesus Christ. Loyalty is a theme throughout the Bible. Jesus Christ was betrayed by Judas, a man who walked with Him and saw that he was God!
I do not want to make this all about me. For the readers, I know you have been through betrayal. Maybe you are going through it right now. I know many of you are, and you have emailed me about the betrayals you experiencing.
Here is my message from Jesus Christ, "It just means you are on the right track."
Every time I am persecuted, mocked, and betrayed, I just smile to God and He says, "I told you this would happen."
The Bible says REJOICE when people come against you, so this morning I will REJOICE!
New King James Version
11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Believers Are Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Do people understand the prophets were killed? Do people understand the disciples were persecuted and mostly died in brutal ways?
Why would it be any different for us as Christians? I was listening to a pretty good sermon the other day, and the preacher said that it was "selfish" that Christians today seriously somehow thought they were going to escape tribulation when other generations did not, and when many are being killed right now for following Jesus Christ! We are not exempt - this will happen to us, too!
- The world will call me crazy.
- The world will mock me.
- The people of the world will betray me.
- This will all be expected.
But for those who receive me, I LOVE YOU. Thank you for going against the world and believing in me.
That's my actual message - I love you, and I would die for you - In fact, I have written this before - I am 100% certain my life will end by dying for the truth and true Christians.
Why? Because that is true love, isn't it? After all, isn't that what Jesus Christ did for us?
A Word from Witness 1:
It's true - I can confirm that Witness 2 has been unfairly treated her whole life, and is often the victim of bullying and betrayal. She does not deserve it, as she is truly a kind, beautiful, faithful, and loving person.
She does not belong to the world, and it shows.
She is the most generous, kind, and loving person I have ever known, but the world repays kindness and charity with only hate, anger, and retribution.
And then there's me, I've been saying uncomfortable truths to people for so long, I don't even remember the alternative.
For those reading who don't like what we say - find another site. Our content will never be moderated to appease the baleful, insolent, lethargic, braindead, and spiritually empty masses.
[Witness 2: Thank you for the words. They are very beautiful. I married Witness 1 partly because he was the most controversial and truthful person I ever met. That is a quality that I like, and even when we fight, I know he still loves me and would die for me. Thank you, Witness 1, for not betraying me. He says he won't in the future either.]
Alright, I had a longer message prepared, but I think I am actually going to write it tonight. It is about holiness. It should be posted by tomorrow. Now, here is a dream from Harry.
Harry's Dream
Glad you’re back!
I had a vivid dream last night. I was looking at a pool and standing about 10 ft away. I knew there was something evil in the pool. I stared at the pool, and then suddenly a huge crocodile sprang out of it! It jumped into the air and was clearly coming for me. I ran out of the way, and it landed on the ground and sat there. It couldn’t move on the land.
Here’s my guess at the interpretation of this dream. Evil has a surprise attack. Those who aren’t quick enough (physically / intellectually) will get trapped and eaten. But those who are quick can easily sidestep, and then the evil is nullified.
Harry's dream goes along with the dream I had posted from yesterday about the shark tank.
We must be on guard - evil is around us, waiting to pounce.
1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
It is really important that we are on guard at all times in the name of Jesus Christ!
Conclusion - Check out this YouTube Page
This is pretty much the best page I have seen on YouTube. Please subscribe and start with part 1. They do a great job of breaking down some difficult concepts using Scripture and the Holy Spirit:
I haven't watched all of their videos yet, but I will get there.
Father in Heaven, please bless this channel for putting the truth out there in Jesus's name. Lord, please bless anyone who supports us and stands against the world in Jesus's name.
Lord, please bring shame and disgrace to those who have betrayed me, and please have them repent in Jesus's name. I do not say this to be cruel, but I ask God to grant justice to my situations with betrayal in His holy name!
With love,
Witness 2
