Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 Lord help us to be faithful in little things now and be overcomer now before big trouble hit us so that we prepared to face big troubles by your Grace.
Very encouraging to hear David Pawson, and interestingly in this talk he is mentioning things to come, the very things he is experiencing at this moment because he is already in Heaven with the LORD.
“The most successful churches were criticized the most by Jesus” That’s wild. Personally, the believers I look up to in my life seem to have the most “the Lord convicted me” moments. Maybe it’s because they’re rooted in God’s love, so they can handle it. Either way, that nugget is deep!
Amazing, so insightful. A true encouragement to all who believe in the Lord and seek to be overcomers. Looking forward to Part 2! Any idea when this will be posted, please?
The first verse of Revelation is so ignored by eschatologists that it's painful. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass, and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: God the Father - function - giving John the Revelator Jesus' Revelation by sending His angel to help John the Revelator with this book. Jesus Christ - function - Revelation OF, not from or about, so they are his instructions He is graciously giving to us. John the Revelator - function - to show us things that must be accomplished by us. Us - function - to perform those instructions written therein - for the time is AT HAND! Angel - function - SIGNIFY [signs, symbols & figurative writing] all that God has him send and to lead us in virtually each and every chapter as he is mentioned usually right at the beginning of each chapter - in different guises and forms, but always him. He morphs and shapeshifts throughout Revelation. He is the one LIKE unto the Son of Man. And finally - things which must shortly come to pass - is also mentioned at least 15 to 20 times throughout Revelation in slightly different ways. It is the URGENCY of those phrases that eschatologists completely ignore so that they can allow for the Rapture. The Rapture is passive yet Revelation is monumentally proactive in all respects.

God has many names ...JEHOVA is the English variant but not the correct - the correct Hebrew word is YHWH. which no one today knows how to pronounce as the correct pronunciation has been lost. Jews would not utter this name in fear of disrespect /dishonouring God .......Jesus also has the same name - I am ....... "I am the good shepherd, I am the true vine, Gods first Born also has the name I Am .....
Fun fact: the seven-headed sea beast with the mortally wounded head that's been healed (Rev 13: 3) recieved that wound in the Ugaritic Texts "Baal Cycle".
Israel's Polytheistic Background and the Ugaritic Texts Yam or Yamm (who becomes Yaw/YHW during the Baal Cycle), from the ancient Semitic word meaning "sea," is the name of the Canaanite god of rivers and the sea. Yam was also the deity of the primordial chaos. He represented the power of the tempestuous sea untamed and raging. Also called Nahar ("river") he additionally ruled floods and related disasters. In West Semitic mythology, Yam was given kingship over the other gods by the chief god El. When Yam's rulership turned tyrannical and he possessed El's wife Asherah, the storm deity Baal (Hadad) challenged and defeated Yam in a titanic battle, ending with Yam cast down from the heavenly mountain Saphon. The mythic sea dragon Lotan, whom Baal also defeated, was closely associated with Yam and possibly an aspect of him. A similar sea-demon appears in the mythology of many cultures. The biblical monster Leviathan is seen as related to Lotan, and his dwelling, the sea, is called yam in the Hebrew Bible. Yam's defeat by Baal (Hadad) parallels the Mesopotamian legend of the storm god Marduk's victory over the primordial sea goddess Tiamat. Numerous other parallel myths have been noted by mythologists and religion scholars, often interpreted as representing *the triumph of heavenly order over primeval chaos.* A primary source for our knowledge concerning Yam is the Epic of Baal, also known as the Baal (Lord) Cycle, which describes the storm god Baal coming to ascendancy in the Canaanite pantheon. In the beginning, the kindly but distant El, the father of the gods (Elohim "Sons of God"), bequeaths the divine kingship to Yam. The sea deity, however, soon turns tyrant and oppresses the other gods. Asherah, the mother goddess, attempts to reason with Yam, but he adamantly refuses to relent. In desperation for the welfare of her children, Asherah finally consents to give Yam her own body. Sitting in council with the other gods, Baal is outraged at this idea and determines to rebel against Yam. Hearing of Baal's plan, Yam (Yaw/YHW) brazenly demands that Baal be handed over to him for punishment, sending emissaries to the Assembly of the Gods who show no respect even to El. Baal secures weapons from the divine craftsman Kothar-wa-Khasis and proceeds to defeat Yam in a mighty battle, rescuing Asherah from her fate and liberating the other gods from Yam's oppression, thus becoming their lord. However, Baal in turn proceeds to be defeated by Mot, the desert god of death and infertility, who accuses him of having killed the great sea serpent Lotan, closely associated with Yam. Baal himself is rescued by the efforts of his sister Anat, so that he may rise again and reign supreme in an apparent re-enactment of the annual cycles of rain and drought. Is Yahwism (Uncountable) *J source* and Leviathan/Lotan *P source* in the Ugaritic texts? In 1 Kings 22:19-22 we read of the Yahweh meeting with his heavenly council. This is the very description of heaven which one finds in the Ugaritic texts. For in those texts the *sons of god* are the *Sons of El.* Other deities worshipped at Ugarit were *El Shaddai, El Elyon, and El Berith.* Biblical echoes: In the Biblical tradition, the polytheistic (debatedly) mythologies of the sky and storm gods conquering the primordial sea demon is replaced by the idea that God (Yahwism "Uncountable"?) reigned supreme from the beginning. Thus, Genesis 1:1 states: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Yet, in the following verse, even before the creation of light, an echo of the older myth of the sky god creating order out of the watery chaos may be seen: "darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Psalm 89:9 reiterates the theme of God's sovereignty over the chaotic deep: "You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them." However, Psalm 74:14 preserves a tradition which reflects the Hebrew deity Yahweh's acting in Baal's role, by defeating the sea monster Leviathan (Lotan): "It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the creatures of the desert." The Book of Job 3:8 seems to refer to a day when the tyrant of the sea will wake from his sleep, speaking of "those who are ready to rouse Leviathan." Isaiah 27:1, meanwhile refers to God's victory over Leviathan in the future: "In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; He will slay the reptile that is in the sea." The bronze "sea" (yam) which stood before the Temple of Jerusalem was about 15 feet in diameter. The Hebrew word for "sea" in these verses is yam. In ancient Israel, God's sovereignty over the waters of chaos was symbolized in the Temple of Jerusalem, as in many other ancient temples of the Middle East, by the presence of a large bronze "sea" which stood placidly near the temple's entrance. The story of the prophet Jonah involves an episode at sea in which Jonah is blamed for a life-threatening storm by his pagan shipmates after they cast lots to discover who is responsible. He is thrown overboard by the sailors in an effort to assuage his angry deity, Yahweh, and is swallowed by a great fish who seems to be a type of Leviathan. The story may hint at a practice followed by Levantine fisherman involving human sacrifice to Yam in times of extreme danger. In some Christian interpretations of (Genesis 3:15), the serpent of Eden is seen as equivalent to Leviathan, whom the Messiah (or the Archangel Michael), like Baal, will one day vanquish: "He will crush your (the serpent's) head, and you will strike his heel." A relevant passage in the Book of Revelation reads: "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." (Rev. 12:9) Later, Revelation describes the final destruction of Satan, after which the declaration is made: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea." (Rev. 21:1)
