that picture looks like a place i visited while in the marine corps way back in nineteen hundred and ninety five .
It was PETRA . I remember walking through this narrow way and looking up
and the sky looked like a blue river way up then we came out right into this huge area
and there it was the city of Rock . we climbed up the side of the moutain too .
That was way back in time before regular use of cell phones , long before the use of twitter and etc .
A time long ago .
Wow! You were there? How amazing! Praise the good Lord above!

Did you know they would not allow us entrance into some of them places .
I remember there were gaurds dressed in red . We could walk by
but not enter into certain areas . I wonder why or what they were gaurding .
One told us they believed the moutain Moses ascended was around the area .
We went up one , it was odd because it was blackened at the top part .
Like it had been on fire . Of course i aint saying it was that moutain . But that was odd looking .

I can picture in my mind the LORD gently picking up Moses in His hand and placing him in the cleft of the rock to keep him safe. What a caring Father we have.

And the LORD said, "Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. "So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. "Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen."

- Exodus 33:21-23

That too is why God often warns . Its very necessary for us to behold both the goodness and severity of GOD .
Often people will try and change GOD more into someone who just overlooks sin and error .
That would be a mistake . The reason GOD told adam and eve not to eat of the tree
was for their good not to do so .
Yet today i seem to notice a lot of people
who rather omit things even JESUS said and later the apostels said
Dire warnings and grave reminders .
Forgetting that those reminders are reminders that actually help edify and to remind the church .
Every word of the LORD is good for the soul . From every warning to every promise .
How often i would have gathered thee as a mother her does her chicks under her wings
only YE would not . We need to be on guard my dear sister and friend .
For many today have been preaching another image of GOD and of Christ
and that image sure seems to over look sins and errors , even accepting some sins and calling them love and good .
That is not GOD . GOD cares for the people so He does warn and does correct
As did Christ and later the apostels . IF we omit the serverity of GOD
then we have created a false goodness . a goodness that seems to imply
the evils we do dont matter and all will be well . But GOD who loves us
says otherwise and its far better we heed Christ than men who twist things .
So allow me to remind you of something you already know .
Satan can say GOD is LOVE . HE can quoate any scripture , but beware the direction he leads one
while doing so . Cause his version of love will not HONOR GOD or CHRIST
nor love GOD above all . It will rather put humanity first and it will turn one against the word and words OF GOD
and of CHRIST . i seen it happen a lot .
An example , try bringing the bible into some churches
and let certain passsages in even the new testament be read
and while they holler all day GOD is love they will consider His inspired words as obsolete or even hate speech .
They will twist things and omit things in order to sell another love that has come not From GOD
but from the world . Stay in prayer , in scripture reading , let us learn and grow in the LORD .

And i had said , look father and son are bickering . cause one was called Shiloh and the other shilohs Foal .
The ecumincal mad house has grown massive in these final hours my dear friend .

IF in THIS LIFE Only we had hope , believe you me we would be MOST miserable . THERE BE A HOME i be looking foward too
my friends . A place wherein no evil will dwell , a place prepared of CHRIST
given unto those who do beleive in HIM . in this world do expect tribulations , persecutions ,
light or harsh . for this world will love only its own .
Forgive any and all who do persecute you , never conform one ounce in their direction .
Be faithful even unto death . But know this , HARSH Times are coming for even those who dwell
in western socities who cling to CHRIST and conform not to another image of what the united ones will believe to be GOD .
but it aint GOD and it aint HIS LOVE .

a digital ghetto is but a digital one .
But think not that this will not come down to REAL ones and much much sooner than we realize too .
But worry not , fear it not , just point to the glorious LORD till the last and final breath squeaks out those lungs .
…enduring until the end.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

- Revelation 3:12
