1 Corinthians 13 Though I command languages both human
and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a
gong booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the
power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and
knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to
move mountains—if I am without love, I am nothing.
Though I should give away to the poor all that I
possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am
without love, it will do me no good whatever. Love is always patient and kind;
love is never jealous; love is not boastful or
conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own
advantage, it does not take offence or store up
grievances. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but
finds its joy in the truth. It is always ready to make
allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever
comes. Love never comes to an end. But if
there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if
tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it
will be done away with. For we know only imperfectly,
and we prophesy imperfectly; but once perfection comes,
all imperfect things will be done away with. When I was
a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as
a child does, and think like a child; but now that I
have become an adult, I have finished with all childish
ways. Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere
riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I
can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as
fully as I am myself known. As it is, these remain: faith, hope
and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is
love.
The perfect gift is the
God calls us to be likened to Him. 15 Years Ago Cling To Me May 13, 1993 Jesus: My dear child,
if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live
in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such
an intensity that you will never know. My words are your
truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There
is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and
without error. You must stay rooted in Me to ward off
the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and
crippling. His power is stronger every day. When you live in Me, I am in your heart
and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your
true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you
from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will
have no power. I am He Who comforts you. My hand is
upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed
right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you
as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness
surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not
alone. I walk with you. I share every aspect of your life with
you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and
secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for
I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy. end of May 13, 1993 May 10, 2008

The Precious Gift of the Body and Blood of Christ John 17: 21-23 May they all be one,
Jesus:
You do not see and yet you argue as
I impart to you wisdom and knowledge that Psalm 11 In Yahweh I
have found refuge.
John 21: 20-25 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom
Jesus loved following them—the one who had leant back close
to his chest at the supper and had said to him, ‘Lord, who
is it that will betray you?’ Seeing him, Peter said to
Jesus, ‘What about him, Lord?’ Jesus answered, ‘If I want
him to stay behind till I come, what does it matter to you?
You are to follow me.’ The rumour then went out among the
brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus had not
said to Peter, ‘He will not die,’ but, ‘If I want him to
stay behind till I come.’ This disciple is the one who vouches for
these things and has written them down, and we know that his
testimony is true. There was much else that Jesus did; if
it were written down in detail, I do not suppose the world
itself would hold all the books that would be written. Acts 28: 16-20, 30-31 On our arrival in Rome Paul was allowed
to stay in lodgings of his own with the soldier who
guarded him. After three days he
called together the leading Jews. When they had
assembled, he said to them, 'Brothers, although I have
done nothing against our people or the customs of our
ancestors, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over
to the Romans. They examined me and would have set me
free, since they found me guilty of nothing involving
the death penalty; but the Jews lodged an objection, and
I was forced to appeal to Caesar, though not because I
had any accusation to make against my own nation. That
is why I have urged you to see me and have a discussion
with me, for it is on account of the hope of Israel that
I wear this chain.' He spent the whole of the two years in
his own rented lodging. He welcomed all who came to
visit him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching
the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ with complete
fearlessness and without any hindrance from anyone.
Mark 8: 11-13 The Pharisees came up and started a
discussion with him; they demanded of him a sign from
heaven, to put him to the test. And with a profound sigh he
said, ‘Why does this generation demand a sign? In truth I
tell you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And,
leaving them again, he re–embarked and went away to the
other side.
We think like men without the light
There is the gift of the Eucharist — Then the
Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?'
Jesus replied to them: In all
truth I tell you, This is what
he taught at Capernaum in the synagogue. James 1: 12-18 Blessed is
anyone who perseveres when trials come. Such a person is
of proven worth and will win the prize of life, the crown
that the Lord has promised to those who love him. Mark 8: 14-21
The disciples had
forgotten to take any bread and they had only one loaf with
them in the boat. Then he gave them this warning, 'Keep your
eyes open; look out for the yeast of the Pharisees and the
yeast of Herod.' And they said to one another, 'It is
because we have no bread.' And Jesus knew it, and he said to
them, 'Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you
still not understand, still not realise? Are your minds
closed? Have you eyes and do not see, ears and do not
hear? Or do you not remember? When I broke the five
loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of
scraps did you collect?' They answered, 'Twelve.' 'And when
I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many
baskets full of scraps did you collect?' And they answered,
'Seven.' Then he said to them, 'Do you still not realise?'
June 26, 1995 R: He spread His arms, He
gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice,
He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened
His arms, He died on the cross. His arms were covered with blood, His arms
so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain
shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail
through each precious hand. All the agony He experienced, all the pain,
and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand. All the nerves cut and severed by the nail,
the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given
to His most precious members. The legs that carried Him, that carried the
heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that
continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding,
beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and
perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was
rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled
with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final
glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot
up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds
and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered
nail. A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a
blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued
in excruciating pain. Jesus: They numbered all My
bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me
a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh. What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My
dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not
given things by your brothers you love? My members were in such pain, the pain shot
up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I
was filled with pain within them. To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened
and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain
inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My
body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous
system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain
signals everywhere. The final blow being to each hand and foot,
the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails. An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a
nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms,
unbearable to a human mind. Do you know of the pain within My body?
Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all
of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the
sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood. My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms
were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and
bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds.
But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds
were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails
in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of
the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond
your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a
Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member. The pounding in the hands and feet, the
crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My
nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body. The pain within the body, the pain recorded
in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in
My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands
and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that
pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain,
the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My
body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross,
arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I
surrendered to a body laden with pain. You focus on your little problems, your
little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world
your pin pricks and sufferings. Do you want to know holiness and love? They
gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering.
They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of
thorns. This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved
souls, I gave My life for and this is their return. A severing of My nerves, the final blows to
all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This
was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into
My hands. You will feel little aches and pains in your
hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your
understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What
was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing
compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My
insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men. All functions in the body were stopped. The final curtain, blood and water pouring
out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had
ended. R: All signals that carried
messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of
surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender
His flesh. Jesus: And end, a
beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the
beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your
spirit. R: Come give me life,
abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee. Jesus: My blood was spent.
My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the
sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass. An end, a beginning, and the grace and life
flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to
you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by
the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father,
through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy
Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the
Church. You stand under the cross with My Mother and
you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood. R: Man is reconciled with
the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you
receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made
present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Do you feel the graces poured out to you at
this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel
the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary,
all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do
you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present upon the altar through the
priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him
the dispenser of this life given to man. Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones,
love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is
the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such
ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways. And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve
carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My
Church carrying a special message, all united as one working
in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a
message of love to one another. The body is many members, you are the
messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does
not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head. They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves
were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in
words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing
of many members from the body of Christ. My Body given for all on the cross, the
network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to
all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and
wounded, the pain recorded within. Your Church, covered with blood on the
outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the
homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have
severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the
pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb
shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within.
The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God
is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not
being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the
wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems.
The pain is from the messages of love that are not being
transmitted. Unless you seek to fill your priests and
sisters with the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with
burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the
marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters
as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's
hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The
rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary. These messages will make men's hearts burn
with fire for love of God. You have ignored the importance of these
letters. I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a
hurting world. My priests and religious need these
messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church
from these messages when you circulate these letters. The devil has blocked the minds of men
involved in these messages because of their importance to
the world and the Church. I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to
get these messages published and circulated as soon as
possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world. Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine
for the sick Church. You know what these messages have done for
you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a
sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed,
abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little
children's minds with sex education in Catholic schools and
you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to the
Church and this world. My arms were weak and wounded but the final
blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves. The final blow is the bloodshed in the
Church, the slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic
schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not
being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught
messages of sick sex and coldness. Men's hearts have turned cold. They have
been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying
from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men's
hearts will this bloodshed stop. I beg you to publish and circulate these
messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the
mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of
the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it
stop. Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the
end. The Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and
will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts
to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty
God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish
these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ
Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as
messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger
has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance
of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying
the messages as a whole and their content. There are five
unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which
I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14
months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging
you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I
beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the
Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of
Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money.
You must study and read these messages. This is a
fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring
priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your
beloved Savior. End of June
26, 1995 message Romans 6: 3-11 You cannot have
forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ
Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into
his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was
raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too
should begin living a new life. If we have been joined to
him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a
resurrection like his: realising that our former self was
crucified with him, so that the self which belonged to sin
should be destroyed and we should be freed from the slavery
of sin. Someone who has died, of course, no longer has to
answer for sin. But we believe
that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him
too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and
will never die again. Death has no power over him any more.
For by dying, he is dead to sin once and for all, and now
the life that he lives is life with God. In the same way,
you must see yourselves as being dead to sin but alive for
God in Christ Jesus.

Still, I am telling you the truth:
it is for your own good that I am going,
because unless I go,
the Paraclete will not come to you;
but if I go,
I will send him to you.
And when he comes,
he will show the world how wrong it was,
about sin,
and about who was in the right,
and about judgement:
about sin:
in that they refuse to believe in me;
about who was in the right:
in that I am going to the Father
and you will see me no more;
about judgement:
in that the prince of this world
is already condemned.
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.

Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

you gave to me,

How can you say to me,
"Bird, flee to your mountain?
"For look, the wicked are drawing their bows,
fitting their arrows to the string
to shoot honest men from the shadows.
If the foundations fall to ruin, what can the upright do?"
Yahweh in his holy temple!
Yahweh, his throne is in heaven;
his eyes watch over the world,
his gaze scrutinises the children of Adam.
Yahweh examines the upright and the wicked,
the lover of violence he detests.
He will rain down red-hot coals,
fire and sulphur on the wicked,
a scorching wind will be their lot.
For Yahweh is upright and loves uprightness,
the honest will ever see his face.
many times
many men do not seek to be
fed with the
"bread of life"
enough is there
John 6: 52-59
if you do not eat
the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors
ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever.
Never, when you are being put to the test, say, 'God is
tempting me'; God cannot be tempted by evil, and he does not
put anybody to the test. Everyone is put to the test by
being attracted and seduced by that person's own wrong
desire. Then the desire conceives and gives birth to sin,
and when sin reaches full growth, it gives birth to death.
Make no mistake about this, my dear brothers: all that is
good, all that is perfect, is given us from above; it comes
down from the Father of all light; with him there is no such
thing as alteration, no shadow caused by change.
By his own choice he gave birth to us by the message of the
truth so that we should be a sort of first-fruits of all his
creation.

wash us of pride and
anger
envy
possessiveness
seeking dominance for dominance sake
Your work for us —
he prunes
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
that I
have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
and thrown
on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
that you
should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

Romans 8:14-17
All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.Romans 8:5-9
Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.1 John 4:12-16
No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comes to its perfection in us. This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us a share in his Spirit. We ourselves have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world. Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have recognised for ourselves, and put our faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.1 John 4:17-21
Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.1 John 4:7-11
My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love. This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him. Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins. My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.Acts of the Apostles 1:1-5
In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the beginning until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God. While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. 'It is', he had said, 'what you have heard me speak about: John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.'Acts of the Apostles 1:6-9
Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.Acts of the Apostles 1:12-14
So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk; and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4
When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

John 14:21-31
Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to him.'
Judas-not Judas Iscariot-said to him, 'Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him. Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not my own: it is the word of the Father who sent me. I have said these things to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you. Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe. I shall not talk to you much longer, because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me, but the world must recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded. Come now, let us go.John 17:11-26
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over them and not one is lost except one who was destined to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures. But now I am coming to you and I say these things in the world to share my joy with them to the full. I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world. I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth. I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in me. May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me. I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.I Corinthians 15:20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.Revelation 3:1-3,12,16-19
'Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; put some resolve into what little vigour you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in your behaviour that my God could possibly call perfect; remember how you first heard the message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you.
Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.
'...but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. You say to yourself: I am rich, I have made a fortune and have everything I want, never realising that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor, and blind and naked too. I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich, and white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness, and ointment to put on your eyes to enable you to see. I reprove and train those whom I love: so repent in real earnest.'Revelation 5:9-14
They sang a new hymn: You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals, because you were sacrificed, and with your blood you bought people for God of every race, language, people and nation and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to rule the world.
In my vision, I heard the sound of an immense number of angels gathered round the throne and the living creatures and the elders; there were ten thousand times ten thousand of them and thousands upon thousands, loudly chanting:Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.
Then I heard all the living things in creation-everything that lives in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying:
To the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honour, glory and power, for ever and ever.
And the four living creatures said, 'Amen'; and the elders prostrated themselves to worship.
Revelation 7:14-17
I answered him, 'You can tell me, sir.' Then he said, 'These are the people who have been through the great trial; they have washed their robes white again in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are standing in front of God's throne and serving him day and night in his sanctuary; and the One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will never hunger or thirst again; sun and scorching wind will never plague them, because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.'Revelation 12:1-8
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.Revelation 14:1-7
Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders, a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first-fruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.
Then I saw another angel, flying high overhead, sent to announce the gospel of eternity to all who live on the earth, every nation, race, language and tribe. He was calling, 'Fear God and glorify him, because the time has come for him to sit in judgement; worship the maker of heaven and earth and sea and the springs of water.'
Revelation 19: 7-8
let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.'Revelation 21:1-10
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.
Revelation 22:20
The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.
Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
