He is not separating the individual from the corporate, but this is hard for us generally to do because humanity is hard-wired because our survival as individuals and societies and organisations require and depend on us being self-centered but that has done great harm because of the scope of our abilities and capabilities to create and use thing unwisely

Heasks that those repent. The ones who refuse are the devils children. Read 1John 3--a mirror for all to peer into. It teaches who are Gods children and who are the devils children. It states--Its impossible for a child of God to practice even 1 sin.

Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth !


Heb 12:6

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

If God Loved all mankind without exception, then would He not chasten every man in the world without exception ? Since scripture states whom the Lord Loveth, he chaseneth !

This word chasteneth is the greek word paideuÅ and means:


to train children

a) to be instructed or taught or learn

b) to cause one to learn


Now scripture also says this regarding all the Father teaches and cause them to learn Jn 6:45

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

This promise is concerning all those whom God Loveth, they will become believers in Christ, for He chastens them all !

These are also the Covenant Seed, those David wrote of here Ps 89:27-33

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; Which all the elect do by nature !

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. This is Divine chastening !

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

And chastening is always with profit in Holiness Heb 12:10-14

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Now it stands to reason, if God Loved all mankind without exception, all men without exception should partake of His Holiness vs 10 and afterward yield the peaceable fruit of Righteousness.

Now if this does not happen for every single person in the world without exception the word of God is a cheat ,a Lie ! Someone is lying, either the writers of scripture or those who teach that God loves everyone in the world without exception !

No God loves some sinners, and the rest He hates.

God loves His children as sinners, He hates the devils children as sinners.

Yes they do sin, they do not practice a sin. 2 lists of sins that are unacceptable to God-1Corinthians 6:9-11--Galations 5:19-21-- Paul mentioned spiritism, the Greek word is Farmacia-thus drug addiction is apart of that. Not to even mention of all of the false god worship on earth. 99% minimum practice at least 1 of those unacceptable sins.

My goal, if I were to be left behind to go through the GT, would not be survival, but to avoid the mark at every cost. Even if that means having my head chopped off before the Lord returns in the glorious appearing.

For, He will set all things right when He returns.

Yess, set all things right when Jesus returns at his Glory Time - Matthew 25:31-33,37.

Would Not be survival ? or rather could be survival according to Revelation 7:14.
The Great Crowd of Rev. 7:9 who are 'saved/ delivered/ rescued' come through the Great Tribulation.
They follow the advice as given at Isaiah 26:20.

The figurative humble ' sheep ' aka Great Crowd are alive on Earth and can continue to remain alive on Earth and be here to see calendar Day One of Jesus governing over the whole Earth as being that figurative ' stone ' of Daniel 2:44-45,34 takes action.

I would just like to add the word ' repent ' that God loves his children as 'repentant sinners'.
We are all given the choice to 'repent' if we don't want to perish (be destroyed) - 2nd Peter 3:9
