I study to find truth, people say so much about, who is true, and who are not, but if your heart is right what they say isn’t important, but what they see when they go to bed, as the night progressed it’s the shadow that comes by night, but the light that comes, overshadow darkness, for them it better to be in the shadow, they may see the light, John, In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
1:3-5 (KJV)

If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner.
Proverbs 11:31

"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.

Matthew 10:16

But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

John 10:12-13

The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

John 10: 14

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

Acts 20:28

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

Acts 20:29

Also from among you men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Acts 20:30

Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

Acts 20:31

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, and beware of the mutilation!

Philippians 3:2

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

Philippians 3:3

though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:

Philippians 3:4

For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet;

Psalm 22:16

I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat. Psalm 22:17

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

Revelation 22:15

pleases do not respond, not for you only them

From the title, I thought it might be interesting.

It wasn't.

You're got a lot of verses there. How about picking a few to ask about. They all do not magically tie together. There also appears to be no question or point being made. We're left with a room full of question marks.

Yeah, the title was a bit titillating, almost like a song title, but.... we find no meat on the plate.

I remember some years ago the Pastor cried wolf in the church and prayed for discernment to catch the wolf .... The Pastor passed away three month later with cancer , you could blame it on the devil or God , as the Pastor was out of his spiritual authority to condemn people in His church ........Christians are called to pray for their enemies , and God will take care ...

I can hear his frustration. We are surrounded by "sleepers" and mean spirited people. Those that push their agendas above all else.

I don't think the "wolves"* are people. They are all those thoughts and beliefs that will destroy us if we let them. They are the equivalent of the weeds in our garden, anything that threatens to choke out the life/love/light. The "voices" in our head that we've internalized that try to tell us we're worthless or unlovable or helpless or whatever the self-criticism du jour might be. And they're the voices that say other people are our enemies rather than that whatever negative, harmful things have invaded their minds/our minds are our common enemy.


*I'm told by someone who has studied about wolves, that they get a bad rap, so my apologies to her and to wolves for feeding in to the stereotype.

Amen. The lie began with "Hath G-d said?", and she was seduced by what appeared to be good through the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Respect of persons also began here through that, as Eve preferred what she could see through eyes of the flesh and her own understanding, as opposed to what she couldn't (Spirit). And by Revelation the serpent is a dragon, as generations upon generations have fed the beast. Peace
