While I love bible prophecy and discussing it and current events and would have loved to have it as the topic of this blog, that is not what Yahweh had led me to write and so I have not posted much directly in the way of eschatology. Yahweh led me to post this tonight. Times are getting darker and time is getting shorter. NOW is the time to repent and follow Messiah Yeshua because we do not have much time left and those left behind who have known the truth are in danger of being given the strong delusion and follow the antichrist.
Yahweh has moved all the players in place and the events of the very end times is about to happen.
Russia and the U.S. are in a proxy war in Syria and soon it will become a direct war. The democrats in the US are accusing Russia of hacking into the democrat party's servers which Russia's president Putin denies.
When Secretary of State John Kerry has accused Russia and Syria of war crimes, I knew Putin would never stand for that - and I was right. A source close to Putin said if Hillary Clinton is elected, Russia would start a nuclear war with the United States. Russia has moved nuclear capable missiles along its border with Poland. The last several years, Poland has repeatedly asked NATO for missile defense system along its border with Russia and Russia had repeatedly said to do so would be an act of war --- and so now there are nuclear capable missiles that can strike all of Germany and Poland (as well as the rest of Eastern Europe) along Poland's eastern border.
Late in september, Moscow, Russia had a nuclear war drill for its residents, it's bomb shelters for 14 million people were completed, and Germany told its people to stock up on food 'just in case'. Two days ago Putin ordered its officials with family abroad to bring all of their families back to Russia - even if the students had to drop out mid-term. Three of my Russian (exchange student) classmates at a college here in Wisconsin dropped out of school this past week and will shortly be heading back to Russia (if they have not left already)
Aleppo, Syria is just about totally destroyed and there is major tension between the forces in the mideast. Today the USS Somerset amphibious dock ship began its maiden voyage heading towards the middle east with 375 U.S. Navy sailors plus 700 U.S. Marines on board. The Isaiah 17:1 prophecy about Damascus, Syria being totally destroyed appears to be on the brink of happening and I believe Ezekiel 38 will happen shortly after or concurrently with that happening.
From scripture, the righteous are taken away from what is to come and no one understands they were removed. I believe this infers that the rapture may happen as the missiles are flying so nobody misses the righteous that were removed. There will also be a strong delusion given to those who rejected Yeshua so they will not understand the truth.
Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perisheth H6, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
***
Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.
2 The godly man is perished H6 out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge; the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 'But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; though I am fallen, I shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD is a light unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.
Strongs H6 for perish means disappears / vanishes and by context is how it is used in Isaiah 57:1
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Here is my thinking about what is happening and the U.S. elections - just my thoughts based on what the bible says and the events we see happening around the world, not a prophecy :
If we make it to the elections next month, if Hillary gets elected, Putin will carry out his threat of attacking the U.S. With wimpy obama, he has less to fear than if Hillary were in control of the buttons. If Trump is elected, obama will carry out his destruction of the United States from within and will do something to provoke Putin into striking the U.S. Putin may very well invade Israel knowing he has a better chance of succeeding (so he thinks) with obama in office rather than Trump.
Regardless of who wins the election, the United States is gone. Yahweh used 9-11 as a wakeup call to the U.S. and gave us the chance for national repentance and, instead, then president Bush brought all religions together and stated 'we all worship the same god".
Yahweh STILL gave this country seven more years for a chance to repent and when this nation became worse and apostasy set in, obama was given to this country as the president. Now eight years later with so much apostasy and most churches and millions reprobate, Yahweh is about to destroy this once great nation. The chance to repent as a nation is over and even if the nation begins to repent if it sees what is happening, there will be no reprieve just like there was no reprieve for Ancient Israel when they realized they made the wrong choice and tried to repent (one example is when they refused to listen to the two spies and believed the ten and did not trust Yahweh to fight for them and even after they tried to repent, they still had to wander for forty years in the wilderness)
I would not be surprised if the rapture happened before the election . Even if it doesn't, it will happen very, very soon as we are now in that time where we know it is very close. Nobody knows the day or the hour (except, as I joke, the rapture will be between 2AM and 3AM --- I just don't know in which time zone!) although we know it is going to be around this time. Do not believe the evil servants that say we have a lot of time left- Messiah Yeshua warned of them - and be assured His return is very, very near. Even if it isn't for a few weeks or a few months, you do not know which day will be your last so today is the day you need to be ready for eternity.

The myth of the "black moon" - a false "sign"
1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2 Timothy 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Recently there has been some talk of the "black moon" is a "sign" of Yeshua's soon return. The term "black moon" is from wicca and refers to two new moons in one calendar month. This is one of four common definitions of the "black moon" and all hold significance in pagan religions. https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/black-moon.html
While Yahweh commanded us to celebrate the New Moon every month and while Yeshua's return is extremely near, the "black moon" is NOT a sign from Yahweh. Yahweh's time keeping is by the new moon and a new moon is what starts one of His given months (and is why He wants us to observe the new moon) and by Yahweh's calendar, there can NEVER be two new moons in one month. The only calendar two new moons can occur in a single month is a calendar from pagan origins. This is the same as a "blue moon" which can only happen on pagan originated calendars and not Yahweh's calendar.
Those who give significance to this so called "black moon" are doing so because it tickles their itchy ears. The "black moon" as defined as two new moons in a month is not as rare as the media and false prophet hype make it out to be - the previous TWO were in 2014 : january 30, and march 30 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_moon Again, this can only happen on a pagan calendar, not Yahweh's calendar, and has NO significance to those who obey Yahweh.
Yeshua's followers need to be leery of anyone claiming something as a "sign" because many people are trying to deceive and stumble Yeshua's followers in these very last of the last days. Yeshua said there would be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars but since this definition of a "black moon" mocks Yahweh and His calendar, it is not one of them.
Numbers 28
11 And in your new moons ye shall present a burnt-offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year without blemish;
12 and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for each bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for the one ram;
13 and a several tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for a burnt-offering of a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
14 And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt-offering of every new moon throughout the months of the year.
1 Samuel 20:5 And David said unto Jonathan: 'Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, when I should sit with the king to eat; so let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
And in the millennium, the New Moon as well as the Sabbath will be celebrated:
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.
and in the verse that rebellious people love to twist to justify their rebellion against Yahweh:
Colossians 2
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
This verse the apostle Paul is not telling the former pagans, now Christians, living in a pagan society of Colossae that they can rebel against Yahweh - he was telling them to not let their pagan friends and family judge them because they were now obeying Yahweh's feasts - and dietary instructions - which are the shadow of things to come. Since they were pagans, their pagan friends and family would not have judged them for observing the pagan feasts and eating pagan foods - but they would judge them for keeping Yahweh's feasts and His dietary instructions . This is proven because Paul mentions what Yahweh expects of His people: to observe His dietary instructions, His feasts, His New Moons, and His Sabbath
Tomorrow, september 30, 2016, is not special because it is a "black moon" and the "black moon" is NOT a sign of Yeshua's very soon return because it is NOT based on Yahweh's given calendar BUT it is a New Moon and is the start of Yahweh's instructed Sabbath as well as the start of the feast of trumpets so tomorrow IS a very exciting day we are to celebrate. Yes, the pagan calendar says the Feast of Trumpets starts sunday but that is not when Yahweh says it starts.
Watch and be ready because you do not know when Yeshua is going to return or when your last heart beat will be.The time to repent is NOW. If you do not repent, you may be like the five foolish virgins and be left behind OR even worse, may end up in hell for eternity because you were deceived into rejecting Messiah Yeshua by refusing to follow Yahweh's instructions. If you are Yeshua's sheep, you FOLLOW and OBEY Him.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Cautions about bible prophecy
Since I was about 10 years old I have studied bible prophecy after my mother took us to the bible bookstore so she could pick up some items for the church (she was a deaconess and was picking up sunday school materials or something like that) and I discovered the bible prophecy section. I devoured every book on bible prophecy I could find including the newly released books by Hal Lindsay (someone who is an apostate now) including 'The Late Great Planet Earth'.
I could explain in great detail the gog-magog war in Ezekiel (which has not yet happened although will in the near future) and watched as the bible prophecies came to life. I watched in excitement in 1988 when a best selling book was released '88 reasons why the rapture had to happen in 1988' and the letdown when it did not happen as well as the sadness to hear of the "christian" women in South Korea that had abortions because they did not want to be raptured while pregnant. Of course after the 1988 rapture date failed, the author came up with a sequel --- '89 reasons the rapture had to happen in 1989'.
It was with excitement that I watched as the Oslo Accords, authored by the possible antichrist (Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan) were held, the Euro became the currency of the EU (which was formerly the EEC - European Economic Community) and watched as people were in a panic over the Y2K computer bug. Yes - have watched bible prophecy since I was young and continue to do so.
There are cautions to those who are watching for the rapture, predicting dates, and watching for rapture dates. Some people become so preoccupied with watching for a date and follow those who repeatedly make false predictions that they are in danger of being left behind. Messiah Yeshua is the one we are to watch for and follow - not a rapture date and not a false prophet. Messiah said we are to continue to watch FOR HIM not for a date and not for a false prophecy some false prophet comes up with using whatever fortune telling device he (or she) has come to rely on.
Yes - we are to KEEP WATCH but we are to be watching for Messiah Yeshua each and every second of every day - not for some rapture date some false prophet has conjured up. If you are watching for a date or following a false prophet - they have become your "gods" and you will be left behind to follow them:
Luke 21
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
There are those who are watching for the rapture and to escape this earth that they whore after false prophets who tell them what they want to hear instead of verifying what they are told with scripture. They do not care that the false prophet may be speaking truth about current events but leading them to follow the false "gods" and false "Jesus's" of the apostasy. These ear tickling false prophets are a test by Yahweh to see if you love Him and follow Messiah Yeshua in truth or if you are just using Him as an escape from this earth and from hell - a fear of hell but no love for the Creator and not truly following Messiah Yeshua and listening to His voice - but rather listening to the voice of a seducing spirit:
Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Many false prophets lead you to follow the ba-al of christmas, of ishtar (easter), and claim you do not have to obey Yahweh. Messiah Yeshua said He will reject those who do not obey Yahweh - so is He your Messiah that you listen to or is a false teacher that says you can ignore what Yahweh says the voice you are listening to?
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
There are those "christians" who know every bible verse regarding future prophecy, what events will happen during the tribulation, and who will be allied with who (etc.) that have no clue what Yahweh expects of us and has no clue of what Messiah Yeshua - the one they claim to love and follow - taught when He was physically on the earth. Many twist the words of the apostle Paul and follow the twisted words even though the way they were twisted contradicts what Mesiah Yeshua CLEARLY taught - they make Paul into someone of their own imagination and made him the "god" they are following. These people are no better than the "christian" cults who have made Messiah Yeshua into someone He is not. Peter said people would fall from the faith because they twist the words of Paul and follow that instead of what He really taught. Remember, the Bereans compared what Paul taught with the old testament and compared Messiah Yeshua with what was revealed in the old testament and neither contradicted it otherwise they would have rejected both Paul and Messiah Yeshua:
2 Peter 3
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Acts 17
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
We need to be sure of what we believe and why we believe --- in other words, we need to know bible apologetics. You cannot be a Christian if you refuse to learn as much as you can about the one you claim to love and follow - for those that read this blog that means you have access to a bible - at least an online bible - so you have no excuse to not study and show yourself to be a true follower of Messiah Yeshua.
2 Timothy 2
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

If you are watching for a date or following a false prophet - they have become your "gods" and you will be left behind to follow them:
Luke 21
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
There are those who are watching for the rapture and to escape this earth that they whore after false prophets who tell them what they want to hear instead of verifying what they are told with scripture. They do not care that the false prophet may be speaking truth about current events but leading them to follow the false "gods" and false "Jesus's" of the apostasy. These ear tickling false prophets are a test by Yahweh to see if you love Him and follow Messiah Yeshua in truth or if you are just using Him as an escape from this earth and from hell - a fear of hell but no love for the Creator and not truly following Messiah Yeshua and listening to His voice - but rather listening to the voice of a seducing spirit:
Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Many false prophets lead you to follow the ba-al of christmas, of ishtar (easter), and claim you do not have to obey Yahweh. Messiah Yeshua said He will reject those who do not obey Yahweh - so is He your Messiah that you listen to or is a false teacher that says you can ignore what Yahweh says the voice you are listening to?
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) :John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
There are those "christians" who know every bible verse regarding future prophecy, what events will happen during the tribulation, and who will be allied with who (etc.) that have no clue what Yahweh expects of us and has no clue of what Messiah Yeshua - the one they claim to love and follow - taught when He was physically on the earth. Many twist the words of the apostle Paul and follow the twisted words even though the way they were twisted contradicts what Mesiah Yeshua CLEARLY taught - they make Paul into someone of their own imagination and made him the "god" they are following. These people are no better than the "christian" cults who have made Messiah Yeshua into someone He is not. Peter said people would fall from the faith because they twist the words of Paul and follow that instead of what He really taught. Remember, the Bereans compared what Paul taught with the old testament and compared Messiah Yeshua with what was revealed in the old testament and neither contradicted it otherwise they would have rejected both Paul and Messiah Yeshua:
2 Peter 3
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Acts 17
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
We need to be sure of what we believe and why we believe --- in other words, we need to know bible apologetics. You cannot be a Christian if you refuse to learn as much as you can about the one you claim to love and follow - for those that read this blog that means you have access to a bible - at least an online bible - so you have no excuse to not study and show yourself to be a true follower of Messiah Yeshua.
2 Timothy 2
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
