Introduction
All over the world, the Christians are being persecuted and killed, because they stopped keeping God's covenant with them.
Because You Are The Salt Of The Earth
Spiritually, salt refers to the covenant of God. Therefore, when Jesus said, ‘You are the salt of the earth,’ He means that Christianity is the continuity of God’s covenant. And that it is for the Christians to live within the covenant and manifest the goodness of God’s covenant to the world, so that non-believers (other nations) can learn from them and join them in doing the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven.
Speaking further, He explained what shall happen to Christians if they abandon the covenant of God:
"… but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” Matthew 5:13
That means that if Christians abandon the covenant of God, they shall become slaves, persecuted and killed in large numbers. That is exactly what is happening, all over the world. The Christians are being persecuted and killed, as if they have no God to protect them.
The Unknown Facts
Unknown to the modern Christians, the white people abandoned God’s covenant and fabricated all kinds of religion in the name of freedom of worship. Today, God’s anger, wrath and indignation, in the form of crisis, agitations, flood, earthquake, wildfire, tornadoes, volcanoes, accidents, emergencies, diseases, infections, pollutions, etc, are flushing people out of the face of the earth, just as the generations of Noah were flushed out by flood.
Yet, many people do not know the cause of the natural disasters and man-made calamities, just as the bible said that people do not know the cause of their problems.
The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble.
Proverbs 4:19
The Past Evidences
Consider all those who kept God's covenant. They were mighty men of valour. They were victorious in all battles:
- Abraham was able to defeat his enemies and recover Lot, other relations and properties.
- Jacob and his twelve sons were able to defeat so many nations in the past.
- Consider Moses, one man alone, who performed great signs and wonders, able to lead the Israelites despite so many enemies on the way.
- What of Joshua the Conqueror, who was able to defeat so many nations at the same time, because God was fighting for the Israelites.
- Remember David, King of Israel, who was victorious even in his youthhood, able to kill tens of thousands when the adults were killing thousands only.
- What of Gideon, who pulled down idol and defeated the Midianites.
God's covenant is the key to life, security, victory, success and prosperity. Those who neglect it, do so to their own deceit and detriment. The bible makes this fact clear in several portions.
God Forewarned His People
God warned His people not to leave His covenant. God stated what the consequences of disobedience, saying:
I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas. 32 I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. 34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land;
then the land shall rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest — for the time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it.
36 'And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;
they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues; and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; also in their fathers' iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away. Leviticus 26:31-39
Beware Of Blind And Ignorant Religious Leaders
Today, pastors and reverend fathers are busy teaching man-made doctrines, when they supposed to be teaching and practising God’s covenant. Out of jealousy and competition, religious leaders tell their members that their church is the best, when indeed, their church is among the worst. Even the famous ministers are not doing the right thing. Otherwise, God would not sit back and watch, while humanity are perishing. At least, the worldwide natural disasters and man-made calamities are more than an enough warning to the world that something is wrong somewhere – the religious leaders have not told the world the Truth.
God’s Last Warning
God said that the manifest disasters and calamities are just warnings from Him to humanity. He said He has sent down to the world Warrior Angels with Merciless Swords to flush out humanity, for persistently disobeying His commandments, which are for the good of mankind. A word is enough for the wise.
What Is God’s Covenant?
To know God's covenant:
- Read the original Ten Commandments in Exodus 20. Do not depend on the forged ten commandments, which are different from what God said.
- Read Leviticus 23, to see God’s seven annual festivals, and not the pagan festivals (Christmas and Easter) which have been baptised with Christian names.
- Restore God’s new moon feast, as stated in both old and New Testaments, and not the man-made novenas.
- Teach and practise the holiness of God. Not the current system of worship where anything goes – every does as they like.
- Etc.
