Have you ever felt like you had gotten trapped inside of a Star Wars movie, and most of the people around you were filled with the dark side of the force? Don't worry, those stories are told just for entertainment, and can't be taken literally. However, like the tactics of evil Jedi, some among us do their best to use our emotions, desires, and weaknesses against us to destroy us, especially if they know we are different from them, they wish us to stop making our selves better, and join them.
Join them in what?
One might ask," Join them in what? Good question! Lies, deceit, extortion, love of money, and much more. When one starts out on the road to everlasting life, there are many opposers. Many unbelievers feel it is too hard, they can be so irritating about it that one might think they would like to be put out of their misery instead of just humbling themselves and just doing all that's necessary to get ready for the coming great tribulation, which will end up, at Armageddon, the final judgement of this wick World.
How to be cleansed?
Though it is easier said than done, just simply ignore them,in hopes that they will change and pray constantly, but remember, if God has already judged them, your prayer's will not help them. However, let Jehovah be the final judge. While time lasts, it's still time for them to change. However, don't waste your efforts on them, if they can be too stressful on you, but just pray and let God do his work.
Should all People be in Fear of That Day?
Yes and no! There is an account in the bible, regarding Moses, one of God's servants, when some rebelled against his leadership. The result was that Korah, Dathan, and Abiram all died when they were all swallowed by the earth when the ground split apart and all went down alive into Sheol, and another 205 priests offering incense perished on that day as well when fire from Jehovah came down and consumed them. Read Numbers: chapters 12-15
In conclusion, how can We stay ready?
Read God's word daily, do ones best to obey what you learn, and seek help if one has trouble understanding what you are learning. In my experience, the more one gets serious in studying Gods word, the more the wicked ones are going try to stop you, and they will stop at nothing to do that. Nothing is sacred, not even your marriage. Whatever happens just keep going for deliverance is near. Love your enemy and pray for those who persecuted you! Even as God's Son was dying on the torture stake, he was still doing Gods will when he said to the evil doer, ... "You will be with me in Paradice!" Stay prepared for the Great Fear inspiring Day of Jehovah!
