The Scriptures teach: Isaiah 5:20 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
THEY shall say they have the light, the love, the good, the sweet; but it will be artificial. When put to the test, by God, they will stumble in their light, they will hate in the name of love, the will spew forth bitterness in the name of being compassionate.
The Scriptures teach: 1 Thes. 5.5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
WE know the source who is true light, we have tasted of the Lord and see that He is good. We know what sweet is for we have tasted bitter and spewn it out of our mouths; now desiring to never to do so again. We have chased after that which was ‘called good’ and found in many cases it was ‘a lie’ and ‘insubstantial’. Our good is HIS good; their ‘good’ is no good.
THEY will call Him cruel, evil, uncaring, demanding and ultimately SATANIC (Beelzebub) in the name of their ‘god’ — the god of this world: SATAN! That is what it means to be the ACCUSER of the brethren. They accuse falsely. They look to snare you in your words. They look for your weaknesses that they might point them out in the name of ‘the people have a right to know’. They will say of you ‘emotional, irrational, and ridiculous’ because they have first said in their heart: THERE IS NO GOD.
YOU will say unto them: Come unto me all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest (IN THE NAME OF JESUS!). Come and taste and see that the water is good, the bread will strengthen your inner bones, the wine we give you to drink will never make you drunk (ONLY MAKE YOU PRAY!). If you would ask of me I would give you the Holy Spirit to drink. If you would listen to me I would feed you with the pure Word of the Lord; freshly baked, and nicely sliced.
THEY will one day look at us and see HIM for we WILL learn how to ‘put on Christ’, how to be ‘no longer I that liveth but HE that liveth in me’, and to show them more than merely ‘enticing words of men’s wisdom’ but rather give them DEMONSTRATION OF THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
We will call good, good; evil, evil; light, light; darkness, DEATH!
