"25 See to it that you do not refuse the One who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the One who was warning them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject the One who warns us from heaven. 26 His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” 27 Now this phrase, “Yet once more,” shows the removal of those things that are shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude—through this we may offer worship in a manner pleasing to God, with reverence and awe. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Grateful for a Shepherd who speaks the truth. What we need as followers of the Messiah of Israel, the Son of the Most High God is Him alone. What we need in this evil age will be provided by the Son of the Most High God in His time, in His way. This is the end of the "consumerism" spirit that is over this land in the individual's life. As individuals join together small communities that come against this spirit can exist by the will of God and what cannot be shaken will remain to the glory of God.
Listening to Art Katz on Paganism he makes this point. The great battle at the end of this age will not be between good and bad, but between the good and the perfect. I would add that the key will be to discern where the power is coming from and who is getting the glory.
The gifts of the Spirit will be 100% necessary as the end draws near, those who say they have passed away are 100% wrong, and those who use them to inflate their name are equally wrong. Very sad.
