Good morning. Yesterday we
saw bad things about the world. The good news is that: the world is passing
away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever.
The things of the world seem good for a season – but they do not last forever.
Want to abide forever – then do the will of God. Children, it is the last hour.
(And this was 2000 years ago.) And just as you heard that Antichrist is coming,
even now many Antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last
hour. That is even truer today. There are so many people that are against
Jesus. It used to be that they just were not for Him; now they are actually
against Him. Then something that is kind of scary: they went out from us, but
they were not really of us. They were a part of the church, and yet they were
Antichrists. How can that be? For if they had been of us, they would have
remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they
all are not of us. Darkness cannot remain with light. Sooner or later they had
to leave. Of course just because someone leaves, does not mean that they are
Antichrists. And so how can we tell about someone? But you have an anointing
from the Holy One and you all know. (However some people just have the
"gift of suspicion".) I just always knew that he/she was a bad
person. Of course before the person left, they were BFFs. Father thank You that
the reader does Your will and abides forever. He/she is a great example to all
who know him/her.
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
