"You Must Hate Your Own Life": Come Out of Babylon!
This will be a message on why Jesus Christ says you must hate your own life in the world to follow Him, with reader contributions from Jesse regarding the vaccines. As always, thank you to all who contribute to and support this blog in anyway. Doing so is an action of courage and example of "coming out" of the world, as explained in this blog post.
Introduction - You Must Hate the World
Last night, I was doing my Bible study of Luke 14, and these powerful verses stood out to me:
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."
These are some powerful words, and I am sure there are many writings out there on them, but this morning, I want to share with readers how and why I was led to hate my own life - my previous life in the world. In order to do this, I must write a part of my testimony I have never written before. Then, my testimony will come back to how all of this is connected to you, the reader. To note, this part of my testimony is pretty brutal, but it is true.
Escaping the Bubble - My Testimony
When I was in my late teens, I had to make an important decision about which college to attend - one that was in state or out of state. There were many factors involved, one of them being a boyfriend I loved at the time. There were costs involved, and there were opinions from friends and family to consider, as well. I didn't know what choice to make. I was at a standstill in my decision-making.
One night I received a dream, and interestingly, this was before I was Christian or even really took my dreams too seriously. However, I still remember this dream to this day, and I actually listened to the advice of it to make a difficult life decision. I believe, now, this was a dream from God.
In this dream, I was in some type of world that was protected by a layer of glass, like a snow globe. I was walking around, and everyone was smiling at me. It seemed nice, but I was slightly bored. Something seemed off about it. I didn't quite fully understand, but there were people that were connected to these little ponds of water, and they could not move or anything. They seemed trapped. I didn't really like being in this world though it was comfortable and content. I decided to find a way out, and I snuck under a piece of the glass and entered into a new world - a library. I was at awe, and I woke up. Here is a depiction of this dream, and just to note, I'm using all the "free" items on Canva right now:
I knew immediately the meaning of this dream. It was that I had to take the road less traveled. It was that if I attended the college near family and friends, I would never change or grow. I would be stagnant, like them, trapped in some type of small, motionless pond. Because of the dream, I decided to attend college away from my family, friends, and the world I knew - away from the boyfriend I loved - away from the world I loved. I decided to crawl under the glass and enter the library. I decided to take a risk. Boy, I did not know what was outside those glass walls - what I would soon face: pure evil.
Wandering Into the Horrors of Life
The title of this next section sounds a little scary, but it's true. While I excelled in college, the next years of my life had much horror. I truly had entered the library of information - good and evil. God wanted me to understand evil. That is the truth.
I decided to think of one of the most traumatizing stories of my life and give it to readers today. This isn't to harm anyone, but this is to remind readers that the world isn't all pretty and sunshine all of the time. Satan has done everything he can to keep people very comfortable in Babylon. In fact, if your life is extremely comfortable and you have never really felt true suffering, then you might want to consider that this has been intentional - to keep you in the bubble - the matrix, so to speak. This is not a critique, and we will go back to Scripture to tie this all together in a moment.
During this college experience is when I met my ex who brutalized and tortured me. All of that was extremely horrible, but I do forgive him. Please check out that testimony if you have not yet. It will help you understand the rest of this story.
Still, there were somehow good memories with him. He lived out in a rural area, and I was allowed to have many pets. This is what I loved! I had a cow, a horse, dogs, and more. During the summer, I'd help take care of the farm, and I learned a lot about nature and animals. This was a very beautiful time in my life, despite the abuse.
I really, really loved the animals, and they loved me. One day, my ex's parents came home, and they told us there were too many dogs, and that they needed to get rid of them.
Honestly, I didn't understand because I was buying their dog food and taking care of them. It was fine. The dogs were well-behaved, easy to take care of, and loving. I didn't understand.
They told me to get in the car and they brought the dogs. I was naive and didn't know what was going on.
We drove to the field, my ex's dad got out of the car, and he shot all 3 dogs right in front of me - before I could say a word or protest.
I cannot explain to readers what happened at that moment. It was like my heart shattered into a million pieces. I was stuck in time, and even now, I can access that point of trauma in my mind, but Jesus Christ has healed me.
Still, I loved those dogs so much, and yes, I am crying as I write this, but at the time, I couldn't even shed a tear I was so shocked.
I don't know the family's true perspective, but I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect it. I put that story somewhere in my heart and it hasn't really fully come out until now.
This is what happens with trauma - it often gets compartmentalized. I just buried it inside of me and moved on. However, I have hope that I will see these dogs and all of the animals I have lost in Heaven. I have many, many animals that I loved and lost in this life.
Going back to the story, a few months had passed, and my ex bought me a cat as a gift, and again, I loved it. I think you can guess where this story is leading.
One day, I came home, and it wasn't there. Again, it was a good cat, and it wasn't doing anything wrong.
This time, I already knew what happened, and I didn't even have to ask. I knew the cat was shot, too. I lost the cat I loved.
Why did they keep killing my animals? There are many theories that I do not have time to go into now. The point of the story is that I was starting to understand there was true evil in the world, and I was coming out of the bubble.
Now, readers, I want you to understand - this is just a story of me and my animals, and it is heartbreaking, isn't it?
Yet, so many are going through much worse than that right now as I write this - right now, at the hands of Satanic ritual abuse, for example.
There is so much evil in this world, and that is just one tiny story of evil. It is heartbreaking, yes, but it still isn't the tip of the iceberg when it comes to evil, such as the torture and murder of innocent children that happens every day all around the world.
Readers may be thinking, "But what do I do? How can I possibly care about all the evil going on in the world? It's too much." Well, we need to go back to Scripture to answer this.
In Luke 14, Jesus Christ is telling you all that you have to see the world for what it is. Right now, most people are in the bubble. They are surrounded by a Satanic shield so that they can function daily. While they may hear of evil news and such, none of it really personally hits them, and everything can be compartmentalized. Even the story I just told you will be buried somewhere.
The cost of discipleship is that we must see the world for what it is - we must not compartmentalize it - we must face it. And when we face it, we must pick up our own cross. Let's go back to the full context of the verse:
The Cost of Discipleship
25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
There is a cost in following Jesus Christ. This cost is that you will have to see the world for what it is - your family, your friends, and everything around you. You must come out of the bubble into the library.
These verses are not really discussed in churches. They are glossed over. They are watered down. I am not watering down the word of God for you.
Anti-Christians always ask, "But why does God allow us to witness evil?"
Well, for me, God allowed evil in my life so that I could grow and then I could work against it. If I didn't experience that evil, I would have never seen the true nature of things. I would have stayed in my bubble.
The problem is that most people just accept evil and allow it. They are comfortable in their bubbles, so why should they really care? Are you still in the bubble?
This leads me to another story. In fact, there is a period of my life that is so incredibly traumatizing that it would make for a good book. In fact, one of my dreams was always to be an author, and I think I'm just living out that dream through this blog. Isn't it amazing how God works? Except - my stories are non-fiction. They are real.
The Story of the Bloody Man
In this next story, we can transition to a time in my life where I had escaped my abusive ex and I was now with my ex-husband. At this time we were married, and soon my testimony of him is coming. For now, let's go back to one little scene in our lives together.
We were driving one evening out in the outskirts of town. We really enjoyed driving around, and believe it or not, we were near my ex's home. If you believe in curses of lands, this land was sincerely cursed.
In the distance, we saw a man walking down the street, which wasn't unusual; however, as we approached, we noticed something striking - he was covered in blood.
We stopped, and we saw that he had stab wounds all over his body. We didn't know what to do, so we got some water, and we started to pour it all over him to try to cleanse him. I did call the cops, and while we waiting, he was just crying and crying in pain.
He wouldn't tell us what happened, but I will never forget this question he asked us:
"Why are you helping me?"
This man was sitting there profusely bleeding, and he didn't even think that he deserved help. Perhaps, at that moment, he was reflecting on something - maybe he was drinking and got into a fight, which was common in the area.
This man didn't feel he was deserving of help, and it broke my heart.
I don't know what happened that day, but I will never forget his words. Though I wasn't fully Christian then, I was helping him simply out of love. That was it.
Maybe he was a dangerous man. Maybe we were taking a chance in helping him. There are many unknowns.
Again, I can honestly share these stories all day, and you will see that as each of these events happened to me, I was able to understand the knowledge of good and evil - the tree of knowledge:
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat[d] of it you shall surely die.”
You see, we weren't supposed to know about this suffering and evil, but when Eve took a bite of that apple, everything changed.
Now, in these end times, many have compartmentalized evil. They are in the fish bowl of comfort, and they have not yet come out.
When you go back to the original moment where I decided to come out of the bubble, I weighed the costs. The costs were this:
- 1) Stay in comfort, live a good life, not know much about the truth
- 2) Leave the comfort, not sure about my life, know the truth
I chose step 2. I weighed the costs. Now, at the time, I didn't know I was going down the road to Jesus Christ, but that was what I was doing. First, however, I had to come out of my comfort zone:
In order to find the truth, and ultimately Jesus Christ, I had to keep choosing the road less traveled, again and again. I had to take risks. I had to come out of my comfort zone. Let us look to one of the most classic and beautiful poems on this matter:
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate "Road Less Traveled." It is the narrow path. It is the path that very few find:
So, when Jesus Christ says you must hate your own life to follow Him, He is asking, "Could you give up all of your comfort for me? Could you see the people around you as they really are? Could you face the truth of reality? Have you weighed the costs?"
Now, hating your own life just means you love Him more, and then, you love everyone properly. You cannot truly love until you stop idolizing your own life.
The best way I have heard of this recently is to call yourself "Number 2." Who is Number 1? God, and God says, "Love me with all your heart and others as yourself." When you think of yourself as "Number 2" and you put God (and those around you) as number 1, then all of this becomes easy. Becoming number 2 is about humbling yourself. This goes, again, back to Luke 14:
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Take the lowest place. Come out the Bubble. Take a risk. There is much more to say, but I think I have given readers a lot to ponder. Now for some reader contributions!

They are NOT done with Vaccines - Jesse from Finland
News update from Finland, changes for your Health subscription in the Beast System.
https://www.iltalehti.fi/terveysuutiset/a/9a69998b-0ea9-406c-8383-94d66bb8b3f6 Big change: Only they get the corona vaccine for free - It is likely that in the fall the vast majority of Finns of working age will have to buy their own corona vaccine if they want one.
According to Department Head of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, Taneli Puumalainen, the ministries are now working to ensure that in the fall, corona vaccines will also be available for purchase in pharmacies with your own money. In the fall, only people over the age of 65 and who belong to certain risk groups can get the corona vaccine free of charge if they wish. - We have been working all spring to get corona vaccines for sale in pharmacies, said Puumalainen at the press conference of the Institute of Health and Welfare (THL).
THL recommends a booster dose of the corona vaccine for the elderly and certain risk groups in the fall. Persons belonging to these will still receive the vaccine free of charge. According to the plans, the vaccinations will start in September, i.e. as soon as the vaccines have arrived in the country. - To avoid the situation where the corona situation would be at its worst when the vaccinations start, said Puumalainen. - Last fall, we were late with corona vaccinations, THL's leading expert Mia Kontio stated at a press conference. According to Kontio, vaccination of persons in nursing homes and regularly arranged home care should be a priority.
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health decides on the corona vaccines to be accuired to Finland. STM has entered into an EU procurement contract for the Comirnaty mRNA vaccine until 2026. 1.2 million doses of the corona vaccine are expected to arrive in Finland, the exact composition of which will become clear in early summer. The vaccine is affected by the currently prevailing variants of the coronavirus. According to the current information, variant-tailored vaccines are used in the autumn corona vaccinations, which have been updated against the new JN.1 variant in accordance with the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency.
Just like Witness 2 has been prophesied, they are not done with the vaccines. Now they are just gonna make you pay with your own money for taking them in Finland.
With love,
Jesse
Conclusion
I actually prepared a prophecy update for today, but I guess that will come tomorrow.
Part of what I wanted to say is that right now, many are avoiding the evil that is about to hit. They are in a bubble, pretending like everything is going to be okay.
In my next prophecy update regarding the digital ID and vaccines, I will tell you that this is not over.
The glass bubble is about to crack, especially for "Christians."
It is easier now to face the truth when things are relatively peaceful than later.
We have had nearly three and a half years to really think. The world has shown its true colors, yet some cannot come out of it. Come out of Babylon!
Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “’Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues.
Some interpret this verse as physical, but I'm here to offer you the more spiritual worldview. Coming out of Babylon is largely about getting your soul right with God and to stop loving the world - even your own life. You must hate the world and your life in it first. However, then you will find true life and love in Jesus Christ.
The plagues are coming. Death is coming. The time of peace, the 3.5 years, is coming to an end.
Are you ready?
Father in Heaven,
Please help the remove the scales on the eyes of readers in Jesus's name. Lord please help readers with the cross they need to bear to serve you in Jesus's name. God, help them give up the drugs, the weed, the pharmaceuticals, the lust, the porn, and all else that is tied to the world in Jesus's name. Jesus, help them serve you.
Jesus, help them not be scared. Give them courage. Give them strength.
I pray fire upon all evil coming against me, my family, and the true remnant in Jesus's name. Lord, help them come out of Babylon!
Alright, I am tired now. A prophecy update is coming next!
With love,
Witness 2
