Dwellers of earth Elder Sergio Castillo Guatemala, May 29th Year of Abundance
Rev 8:13 (KJV) And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Joh 1:35-39 (KJV) (35) Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; (36) And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! (37) And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. (38) Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? (39) He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. It´s very interesting note that these men followed John the Baptist. They were disciples of him, but then they knew who Jesus was, so they stopped to follow John. Jesus noted it, and He asked them: what they were looking for? Their respond was that they wanted to know the place where He dwell. Jesus leaded them to that place, and they stayed with him. The main point is that they were not looking for the material things, because they were not earth´s dwellers, like us. We are pilgrims and our course is to the heavenly Jerusalem. 1Pe 2:9-11 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (10) Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (11) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Clearly, this quote says that we are foreigners. Our origin was not on earth. We are pilgrims because we are going to go back to the place where we belong. We are not earth´s dwellers. We thanks God for all the blessings that he gives us, so we can enjoy them while we are here. And this does not mean that for all of the good things that we enjoy, we have to fall in love with this earth. Exo 34:12 (KJV) Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee. It´s very interesting that Israel needed to strive to possess that earth. While Israel needed to do that, we have to strive to get out from this earth. This is our call, the one that God gave to us. The scientist have said that the life time of the earth is very short, because the people have focused on destroy it. For this reason, the Bible says that the time of destroy the ones that destroy the earth is here. Maybe, in some moments we think in accommodate, living here. But today, the time of awake is here. We have to awake in the way we are living, we have to make an effort to straighten our communion with God. Today is the time of awake and change our way of living, if we were not lived in holiness. Today is the time of leave any earthly though, so we can move forward and look for the heavenly things. Remember that the Bible says that there were a lot of people focused on the God´s plans. This need to be an example for our life. We need to have the Holy Spirit inside of us. We need to have that extraordinary
