Israel was like a married woman who fell in love with a seductive man. God warned that His people were in danger, because, at any moment, the lover would launch another of his attacks, and the whole country would suffer. Those who do not resist temptation will be in the arms of the one who should never have approached the holy nation. It is best to live under the divine mantle!

The Israelites persisted in sin, even with the warnings of the Lord, who had shown them that they were acting like people whose character was not expected of the chosen people. Now, every child of God who waits for the second coming of Jesus has been tempted in various ways. That is why Heaven comes to our rescue. We will have many surprises when Christ comes to assemble His Church!

When a person is under temptation, they do not care about life, not even if an angel speaks to them, because their soul is poisoned. There are all kinds of transgressions seducing the saved, and unfortunately, carnal desires have prevailed in the lives of many. They do not weigh the consequences of their actions, even though they have been warned by the Lord of what will soon happen to them. We must persevere to the end to be saved (Matthew 24:13).

God does not fear competition from Satan, the leader of the angels defeated by Jesus, because these evil spirits are nothing and have no power greater than that of the Holy Spirit. The devil insists that we stop preaching about the imminent return of Christ so that more people will be lost, because he believes he will profit if they are in error. May the heavenly Father have mercy on those who live in sin!

From the beginning, the forces of the kingdom of lies have tried to induce human beings to leave the path of love and follow the path of hatred. Some have been convinced not to fear eternal punishment, even if they cannot escape the lake of fire and brimstone. Those whose conscience accuses them day and night need to rid themselves of sin and seek Christ in order to be freed from the clutches of the one who knows only how to do evil. Take care!

Idols are portrayed by the prophet Isaiah in various ways, for there is nothing good in them. Outside of the light, everything is deceitful, and there is no benefit in it. How can lifeless idols help anyone? All the devil wants is to destroy the lives of those who worship them. Therefore, the Lord urges you to come to Him, the true Source of life!

Return to the faith you experienced when you first heard the Gospel. Remember: the enemy helps no one. He wants to use you for eternity to lessen his suffering, for he will burn day and night in eternal fire. Only Jesus will do the work you need!

In Christ, with love,
