The “Insabbati” Message:
A) Come out of her my people that you do not participate in her sins and recieve her plagues (Rev 18:4)
B) Be as the five wise virgins not as the foolish and be sure that your ‘lamp’ is filled with ‘olive oil’ (Mt 25:1-10)
C) I am returning soon and my reward is with me (John 4:1-4 & Rev 22)
D) Heed every word that I have spoken through all of my prophets in the Old & New Testaments & in the Latter Days (Deut 27:9, 28:1-2, 58)
E) In ESSENTIALS, unity
In DISTINCTIONS, tolerance
In ALL THINGS, compassion

Rv 12:9 Satan has mislead and decieved the whole world. He is the father of lies (Jn 8:44).
Titus 1:9-16 Be of sound doctrine and do not deny God by your works.
