We share Christ died for every individual in the whole of God’s creation. We all share him because without him there would be no anything. We are hidden with Christ in God. We were known before the creation of the world. We are each of us given the measure of faith needed to be saved. We have the power of choice to love, to hate, to forgive, to repent, to live or to die. The wonder of it all is that God has a people who so desire to share spiritual belief founded only upon scriptural truth. God does not count how many people we lead to Jesus. He measures our faith through our living our lives and how we demonstrate our faith. When we share truth with others our hope is aid in their overcoming difficulty and doubt. We share that we care. We stress spiritual vigil around the heart to keep it from the evil of unbelief. Guard what you read. Guard what you watch. Guard the things you think about. Avoid people, places, and things that will lead into sin. Take care of your heart with all vigilance brothers and sisters. Exhort one another to be faithful. That’s why God puts us in community. As long as there is life in the lungs, there is grace to be had at the cross. We are admonished to go therefore and teach. Let’s not overcomplicate this counsel. Love is even greater than faith and hope. Faith and hope are vital. Faith is what pleases God. And hope is what gets us through life in a fallen, often hopeless world. But love is what fuels our faith. We have faith in Jesus because we love him. And love is what gives us hope. Death may take the body. It will resolve us into our first principles – the first principles are self-evident truths that are the foundation of what we know to be true. They are basic reasonings that cannot be deduced any further, they are priority arguments to the creative power of God. We are a light of heaven united with clods of clay, the dust of the earth. At death these are separated, and each goes to the place whence it came. The spirit does not die with the body. These principles are the first basis from which a thing is known. God holds the spirit of the soul that waits. Our mind holds the memories. Our heart keeps the love. Our faith lets us know we will meet again. Faith is the real knowing of knowledge. It is real certainty of Christ. We know that one day we will see, face to face, the One we love. It is for these principles that we share truth. We are to become aware of and follow the deeper spiritual wisdom that God has placed within us, called the Comforter by Jesus. Love is established in the faith of Jesus. Can this love be shared? The bible is the real word of God. It's His message of love for us and hope and salvation. God is love and Jesus is the Word who is God. We understand him to be “love” in human flesh. Love is what Jesus says will reveal that we are His true disciples. He says this is what we will be known for. Love is what we try to share. It is what we do. There are a lot of issues that are important, a lot of doctrines people like to discuss, to argue over, and theological positions that people might break fellowship over, but Jesus is saying over and above all those things, if we love the people in whose life we are invited, if we love the other people who loves him, it will be clear that we are a follower of Jesus. People don't know us for our love. That’s not what they think of when they think about bible teachers. Jesus tells us that we will be known by our love because that’s not really what we’re known for. Most know us for what we’re against. They think to know us by our theological rules. They know us by what we accept and don’t accept. Most say we’re not like Jesus. We must get better at letting God love others through us. God is raising up a people who are so close to Jesus and so into His word, who are so full of the Holy Spirit, that people will know that Jesus is real because of the love, the caring, the peace that is flowing in our lives to those around us. That is what makes us so different from the world. We are learning to share God’s love like Jesus does, and to love them with the love that He has loved us with. Obedience to the first and second greatest commandments shows how great God is, and how He works through our weaknesses, through our flaws, through our imperfections. We understand that the hand of God is on our life. And because we know that much, we know enough to share Jesus with others. God is ready to use us who are available, who will love Him and are prepared to reach other people. As we sincerely care about people, God will work through us and move in our life in areas that we would have never imagined. God is working in the hearts of His people to fill us deeper with His love and then to bring it to the surface for all to see. What He’s wanting to do in these days is for His people to be serious about truly caring about people and loving them as Jesus loves us. We are given a different kind of love. A love that is not dependent upon return. We become a work in progress. We’re going to be learning and we’re going to be growing, and Jesus is going to be manifesting himself in us until the day we leave this earth to go on to Heaven. It takes the Holy Spirit to love like Jesus. Why? Because it’s not in our nature to love like that. When we love like that, it changes our priorities, it changes our agenda. It changes our friendships and other relationships. It makes our lives different as we begin to love others the way Jesus loves us. With all the means we have today to reach people, to help people, to understand people, how much more does our God have to do to get us to let Him work in our whole lives, in our whole hearts. We need God’s love for our faith to work. As we speak with others, to share what God has been doing in our life, and how He isn’t done with us yet it speaks to people that we’re still being worked on. We don’t have it all together yet, but that doesn’t mean our sharing is without benefit. But we have the confident expectation of God’s faithfulness and future promises. God promises that He will have a finally perfected people. God has predestined His people to be conformed to the image of His Son: that is, to become like Jesus. We all know that when Adam fell he lost much - though not all - of the divine image in which he had been created. But God has restored it in Christ. Conformity to the image of God means to become like Jesus: Christlikeness is the eternal predestinating purpose of God. We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness. What a vision...what a promise, becoming like Christ. From eternal predestination to present transformation. We will be like him. We are to be like Christ in his love. We are to be like Christ in his mission. We are to share biblical truth with those we love. That’s the truth that glorifies Jesus. We must make much of Jesus. We must share difficult truths in a gentle, kind, inoffensive manner – in love. Rather than be spiritually immature and easily deceived, we are to speak the truth to one another, with love, so that we can all grow in maturity. We are to train one another in truth - the foundational gospel truths, truths about who God is and what He has called us to do, hard truths of correction, of doctrine - and our motivation to do so is love. A self-sacrificial love that works for the benefit of the loved one. We speak truth in order to build up. Share what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit listen those who listen. Our words should be beneficial to the hearers of those words. We should share truth in love. We are not to attempt to hide things about ourselves out of shame or in an effort to manage our images. Rather, as those who are part of the same body intended for the same purpose and united by the same love, we should be characterized by honesty. Those who love must speak the truth, must share the truth. We must be characterized by grace and truth. We are called to love those who do not know Christ. The best way we can show love is to share with them the truth of the gospel. We have a message that we must share. We must unapologetically impart knowledge about both truth and love. Remember the question, “what is truth”, and the phrase, “what manner of love”? The truth that God’s people share is “divine revelation”. It is reality that cannot be hidden. Truth is not how we know; truth is what we know. Truth is always there, always open and available for all to see, with nothing being hidden or obscured. Truth is that which corresponds to reality. Truth is that which matches its object. Truth is simply telling it like it is. Truth is unaffected by sincerity. Truth is impervious to desire. Why is it so important to understand and embrace the truth in all areas of life? Because life has consequences for being wrong. Nowhere are the consequences more important than in the area of faith and religion. God is eternal and eternity is an awfully long time to be wrong. In our sharing the truth we must give earnest attention to the enthralling theme of the Father’s love. Though the subject of the greatness of God’s love exceeds all human comprehension, God nevertheless exhorts us to look at it, ponder it, study it, weigh it, meditate upon it, marvel at it, seek to grasp the full meaning of it, and rejoice in it - because out of the mercy of God through our Lord Jesus Christ we have already experienced upon ourselves the bestowal of it. The greatness of God’s love is seen in the manner of that love. What kind of love is this? This love is not the general kindness of the Creator, which in His wise providence He mercifully exercises towards all His creatures. There is a great difference between God’s dealing with us as Creator and His dealing with us as Father. God is not the Father of all men, though He nevertheless is the Creator of all men and all men are under His providential care. But He is the Father of all those who have been born again and who have truly believed in His Son. He is the Father of only these and none others. What, then, is the manner of this love? It is that love which God peculiarly exercises in regard to His own children. It is a love that finds no other cause outside of God. God is gracious to whom He will be gracious. God hates sin and sin is in us. His love for us is not based on any merit on our part. What manner of love? God’s love is without beginning, without end...it is everlasting. Ponder that prayerfully - we unworthy ones are loved with a love that had no beginning and will have no ending. What manner of love! Share this; tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, nor any other creature! If these cannot separate us from that love, nothing can, for nothing else exists outside of this list. What manner of love! From eternity and out of His free and unchanging grace, the Father appointed His Son to be our Savior. “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” What manner of love! If we would know the manner of God’s love to us and give thought to the depth of it, we must not ignore this wonderful, though mysterious aspect of it. His love towards us is distinguished by being electing love. Our Father has not tried to hide this truth from those whom He loves, for He has written about it plainly in His Word. Scripture says that God has chosen us to salvation. In the face of this great truth all we can do is wonder what manner of love is this. This love could not allow us to lie under the curse and bondage of our sins exposed to the penalty of the holy law. Christ redeemed us. What manner of love! God’s elect experience redeeming grace of the Father’s great love from day to day and are brought to know the meaning of progressive sanctification in their life. The abiding presence of the Holy Spirit - with all His strengthening, guiding, and purifying graces; ever making effectual to each believer the blessed benefits of redemption - assures the constant growth in true holiness of every one of us. The prayer of Christ to the Father, requesting Him to “sanctify us through thy truth”, is sure to be answered in every believer’s experience. What manner of love! We are to share and to teach that the objects embraced by this love is us who are God’s election. We share this hard truth –“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us.” Those who are included in the pronoun us - and only those - are the objects of this great love. It is a sad mistake, as well as a dangerous twisting of scripture, to make this passage refer to everybody in general. We can by no means read every son of Adam into this text; and though we are aware that as we share this truth we shall certainly lay ourselves open to the charge of being narrow and uncharitable in our interpretation. We are compelled by the plain truth to say - and say it with emphasis - that this passage clearly limits the love of God to His chosen election. This great love will never be viewed by us in its proper setting until we have been brought by divine mercy to realize what terrible sinners we are. Then, and then only, shall we who are the predestined stand in wonder that God did not consign the entire lot of us to the second death. Then, and only then, shall we find ourselves utterly amazed that a holy God should so condescend as to be willing to take upon Himself the task of saving us from the ruin of sin. Then, the thing that will forever clasp us in holy astonishment is to discover that such sinners as we were included in that number to be the everlasting objects upon whom He would bestow His Sovereign love. “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us!” This love exceeds and excels all loves, for it is the Father’s love - divine love, out of free and sovereign grace. God loves righteousness and truth. There are three effects of this love that we love to share as the truth. The first – right now are we the sons of God. The word says, “beloved, now are we the sons of God.” The second – as sons we purify ourselves. First made pure by the redeeming blood of Christ applied to our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Then, by God’s grace. A key truth and thirdly - the   world knows us not, because it knew him not. The world will despise our witness. Sharing charitably the truth in love is communally and commonly reflecting upon the experiences of others with doctrinally correctness and that which proceeds from a biblically committed life to a person who wants to know Christ. It is done in love for the benefit of one who needs our commitment to sacrificing life-time to share the treasures of heaven. Sharing the word of God is an act of love for God and others. It helps us to connect more fully with our own faith. Inviting others to share scripture and hearing their histories are effective ways to share the gospel. The spiritual welfare of others matters. We have a responsibility to share the truth in love not only because it is a command, it is saving a soul from death, helping a soul to come to truth, that’s a worthy reason for doing this. We also cover a multitude of sins, which means that the sinning stops instead of it continuing and being exposed before others. We love and because our love is the love of Christ there is no fear of losing friendships or straining relationships. We cannot be judgmental or fear rejection. In sharing the word of God we too are helped to be better people because the words we share are words spoken to our hearts. We must be right with God to help others. We must be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks us a reason of the hope that is in us. We all belong to Christ. We pray before, during, and after our conversation with others. We pray that God would open their hearts to hear truth, we pray while we’re sharing that our words would not fall on a hard heart, and we pray afterward that the dear Holy Spirit would do the work of conviction of sin and convincing of truth to lead those who hear to repentance. We share the word of God to others to give God glory. We are in the last days and they are darkening the hope of far too many people. Dire consequences loom on the horizon of a setting sun. Prophecy fulfilled. The last steps are now being taken. Many are stepping into darkness...few into light. The dark times are blackening. While faith sustains darkening times God’s people, hope for much people is fading. Our sharing can cause them to remember that even in this hostile world they are part of Christ’s family. They can be of one mind in unity, in belief, and purpose. Our choice to submit humbly and share the truth is because it is Christ we are submitting to, loving and serving him through our sharing with others. We set him apart as Lord. This is to recognize his purity, goodness and distinctiveness. He is exalted over creation. This is also clear evidence for Christ’s deity. It is in this life that the decision about Christ and repentance must be made. The truths that are to be shared will be bound in sorrow for the suffering to come. Our words have the sound of tears. Thoughtfully considered and examined, there is no outward manifestation of emotion. These tears have a far different purpose. We weep for the intensity of the trials to be faced. There will be no contention that tears and weeping are only artificial for they will not be seen. These tears will be placed in a bottle. God keeps watch over them. No matter how much of our sorrow goes unnoticed by others, not one moment has escaped the attention of God. Our words are bound up with these unseen tears. As Jesus wept some saw the tears...we heard the tears sharing the word to snatch the people back from death. Jesus stays with us in our sorrow – he comes down into our valley of tears and walks alongside us. He knows every word that is shared by faith. The truths shared will be pure, genuine, containing in themselves the sorrow for a soul lost. The truths that we share are the promises of God to them who receive them that whither they are going, there will be no more sorrow or sadness, and it is a curious circumstance that in the bible wherein are contained all of these promises, the very last time that the word tears is used, as though it would emphasize the fact that they would be done with them forever, is in an assurance that there shall be a place provide where there will be none and no occasion for any. We will keep on sharing the word and gathering with God’s people, even when they don’t understand what we’re going through...what they too will have to endure. We’ll keep on serving others, even while we carry our sorrow wherever we go. And we’ll keep on sowing the seeds of truth and grace into our barren souls, waiting for the day when God takes us home.

fracture The prophetic weight of this moment calls for deep humility and prayer. Leaders must not see themselves as masters over brethren, but as servants washed in the same blood. Families must guard their homes against seeds of resentment, knowing that division in the household multiplies into division in the church. The scattered and the grafted-in must learn to bear one another, not as competitors for honor, but as co-heirs of grace. It is in this crucible of unity that God will prepare a people fit to stand in the time of trouble. The seal of the living God is placed not upon isolated individuals, but upon a body that has learned to love beyond the fractures of race, history, and personal offense. If the adversary succeeds in dividing the last-day family of faith, then he need not enslave them by outward force, for they will have bound themselves with the chains of disunion. But if, by God’s Spirit, they rise above division, then no power of earth or hell can subdue them. Their unity will become their fortress, their love their weapon, and their covenant loyalty their unbreakable bond. And in that unity, the prophecy will be fulfilled: a people once scattered, once enslaved, now risen, now sealed, now unmovable in their devotion to God and one another. Thus, the call is urgent. The family of faith must weep before the altar for healing. They must refuse to let division steal their destiny. They must guard the sacred trust of unity as though it were life itself. For in truth, it is life: the life of the final witness, the life of the sealed remnant, the life of God’s own testimony in the earth. And when they stand, healed and unbroken, the world will behold what no empire could extinguish: a people who cannot be divided, cannot be enslaved, and cannot be silenced, for they are one in Christ and sealed forever in His eternal purpose. Division within the spiritual family is not a passing inconvenience; it is the adversary’s last and most dreadful attempt to break the remnant people of God. As the nations rage and the powers of the earth align for their final assault against truth, Satan knows his time is short. He cannot strip away the faith of those who have been sealed by God’s Spirit, but he can attempt to rupture their bonds of love and scatter them in spirit though they stand together in body. Division is a silent plague, more destructive than persecution, for it tears at the very heart of covenant unity. The deepest betrayals do not come from strangers, but from brothers and sisters, and it is this weapon the adversary aims to sharpen in the last generation. If the family of faith can be fractured from within, their testimony will lose its force, their strength will wither, and their witness to the nations will dim. This is the last-day danger…internal discord. History testifies to this reality with sobering clarity. The wilderness generation, despite witnessing God’s mighty hand, faltered again and again through murmuring, jealousy, and suspicion. Their greatest enemies were not Amalekites or Moabites, but their own tongues and hearts that resisted unity under God’s leading. Later, when Israel was divided into northern and southern kingdoms, the rift was not born from outside invaders but from mistrust and ambition within. The fall of Jerusalem was hastened by the corruption of its leaders and the betrayal of its prophets. Even the early church, filled with the power of fracture Pentecost, was continually threatened by disputes over leadership, doctrine, and cultural identity. Paul’s letters groan with the burden of urging believers to hold fast to the unity of the Spirit, for he knew that division was the surest path to ruin. The testimony of Scripture resounds with this lesson: when God’s people fracture, they become vulnerable; when they stand as one, they are unshakable. This lesson carries prophetic urgency for the scattered people of God in the last days, particularly for those of Black descent whose identity as descendants of the ancient Hebrews has been long suppressed, denied, and obscured. Their history is marked by centuries of exploitation, captivity, and systemic oppression. Yet the prophetic promise declares that never again will they be enslaved, for God has broken the yoke. The awakening to this identity brings not only dignity but also responsibility. To refuse exploitation is a sacred act of obedience to God’s justice, but to avoid division is a sacred act of obedience to His love. Both must be embraced together, for the power of the remnant lies not merely in their liberation from physical bondage, but in their liberation from spiritual fragmentation. The proclamation “never again enslaved” must be matched by the vow “never again divided.” Still, this vow is costly, for wounds run deep. Centuries of betrayal, injustice, and systemic exclusion have left scars that are not easily healed. The temptation is to allow memory to fuel resentment, to turn the testimony of survival into a weapon of suspicion. The adversary would seize upon these wounds, whispering that unity is impossible, that differences are irreconcilable, and that mistrust must remain. The danger is subtle: even as God’s people rise from physical exploitation, they may fall into spiritual enslavement to bitterness and division. It is in this delicate space that reflection must deepen. The remnant cannot afford to confuse vigilance against oppression with hostility toward brethren. They cannot allow the remembrance of pain to eclipse the vision of unity. Healing must not only acknowledge the truth of history but also lift the family of faith beyond it, into the realm of covenantal love where scars become testimonies rather than barriers. The final generation must embody a unity that transcends race, culture, and personal history, without erasing them. This unity does not demand sameness, but harmony. It requires that every tribe, nation, and tongue bring their distinct beauty into a symphony of witness to the Lamb. It demands that the descendants of the scattered Hebrews, while never forgetting the cost of their history, embrace their restored identity with humility rather than superiority. Likewise, those grafted into the covenant must honor the heritage of their brethren without resentment or envy. The strength of the remnant lies precisely in this diversity made holy by love. To fracture along lines of race or culture would be to undermine the very purpose for which God has gathered His people. The nations must see in the remnant not merely individuals who serve God, but a family healed and made one, a living testimony that Christ has triumphed over the divisions of humanity. For this reason, leaders in the final generation bear a sacred responsibility. They must reject the temptation to lordship, for leadership in God’s kingdom is service, not mastery. They must guard against favoritism, knowing that even a hint of partiality can fracture the fragile bonds of trust. They must guide with patience, teaching the people that forgiveness is strength, that humility is power, and that covenant loyalty is the foundation of endurance. The remnant will not endure because they are free of conflict, but because they are free to forgive. They will not overcome because they are free of wounds, but because they are willing to heal together. This is the test of their sealing: to hold fast to one another when every earthly pressure urges them apart. The time is coming when the remnant will stand alone against the powers of the world. Persecution will strip them of outward supports, and the pressure will be intense to turn inward in suspicion or blame. Yet if they are bound together by covenant love, they will not fall. Their unity will be their shield, their harmony their fortress, and their love their unbreakable testimony. The adversary will rage, but he will find no foothold, for his oldest weapon— division—will have been disarmed. The remnant will stand not only as individuals sealed by God, but as a family whose unity bears witness to heaven’s eternal purpose. The reflection required at this hour is therefore both sobering and hopeful. The danger of division is real, but so is the promise of unity. The scars of history are deep, but so is the healing power of grace. Never again enslaved must mean never again divided, for both are chains broken by Christ. If the people of God embrace this truth, they will stand as the unshakable witness of the final generation. They will be a people whom no empire can conquer, no deception can fracture, and no hatred can silence. Their very existence will declare to the world and to the universe: this is the family of God, scattered yet gathered, wounded yet healed, diverse yet one, sealed forever in covenant love. The great controversy that spans the ages has always hinged upon the unity of God’s people. From the beginning, when Adam and Eve fell into disobedience, the harmony of creation was fractured, and the history of humanity became a story of division. Cain’s jealousy of Abel was the first manifestation of that fracture in the human family, and the centuries that followed bore witness to how envy, rivalry, and mistrust spread like a contagion. Yet God’s purpose has never changed. He has always sought to bring forth a people who reflect His own image, not in isolation, but in covenant fellowship with one another. Division, therefore, is not merely a human weakness; it is a direct assault on the fracture divine purpose. To disrupt the unity of the spiritual family is to mar the likeness of God in the earth, and this is why the adversary exerts every effort to sow discord. As the last days unfold, this battle intensifies, for the remnant is called to bear the final testimony of God’s character before the watching universe. Their unity, or their division, will decide whether the testimony shines in brilliance or flickers in shame. The scattered people of God, drawn from every corner of the earth, carry within themselves a history written in suffering and endurance. Among them, the descendants of the Hebrews who were torn from their homeland, sold into slavery, and dispersed through the transatlantic slave trade bear a particularly heavy story. For centuries, they were told they were nothing, stripped of name, culture, and dignity, and reduced to commodities in the markets of men. Yet through it all, God kept the thread of His covenant alive, hidden in their resilience, in their cries to heaven, and in their spiritual songs that carried coded hope. That legacy has awakened in these last days with prophetic force: a people once enslaved now rise to claim their true identity as heirs of the covenant, children of Abraham, and participants in the final work of God’s redemption. The declaration that they shall never again be enslaved is not mere rhetoric; it is a divine verdict rooted in the justice of God and the restoration of His scattered family.  There remains the deeper trial of inner freedom. The adversary knows this, and so his strategy has shifted. He will seek to turn brother against brother, sister against sister, congregation against congregation, until the body of Christ is torn apart from within. This is why the danger of division in the spiritual family is more dreadful than persecution from without. In light of this, the call for reflection is urgent. The remnant must not only celebrate their liberation but also guard their unity with reverence. They must understand that identity without unity can devolve into pride, and freedom without forgiveness can harden into resentment. To truly fulfill their destiny, the people of God must embody a love stronger than memory, a humility deeper than pride, and a loyalty greater than grievance.  The final unity of the remnant is not uniformity, nor is it the erasure of culture and heritage. It is the sanctification of diversity in the light of covenant love. Just as a body has many members with differing functions, so the family of God is designed to contain a multitude of voices, traditions, and experiences. The strength of the remnant lies not in the flattening of fracture these differences but in their consecration to a single purpose: the glory of God and the testimony of Jesus. When every tribe, tongue, and people stand side by side, not as competitors but as companions, then the world will see the reality of the gospel. That sight will itself be a judgment, for nothing so condemns the spirit of this world as the witness of true unity in Christ. This unity requires sacrifice. It demands that any who lead out lay down ambition and refuse the lure of self-exaltation. It calls for all to put aside rivalry and choose forgiveness over resentment. It insists that grievances be laid at the cross, and that personal offenses be swallowed by covenant love. The remnant cannot be sealed while clinging to division, for the seal of God is the imprint of His character, and His character is perfect love. The Spirit will not descend upon a fractured family, nor will He empower a divided body. Only when the people of God resolve to stand together at any cost will they be fit to bear the final message to the nations. The hour is coming, and indeed is upon us, when this unity will be tested as never before. Laws will be passed that threaten the liberty of conscience. Economic and social pressures will mount against those who remain faithful to God’s commandments. The hostility of the world will intensify until the remnant stands stripped of earthly support. In that moment, the temptation to turn inward with suspicion will be fierce. Some will be tempted to accuse others of betrayal, and some will abandon brethren out of fear. The adversary will whisper that trust is dangerous, that love is naïve, and that survival demands separation. Yet if the remnant holds fast to love, if they refuse to let division take root, they will endure. Their unity will be their armor, and their fellowship their fortress. And when the dust of persecution has settled, the remnant will stand. They will not stand as a collection of individuals but as a family, sealed by God, bound together by covenant love, and radiant with the testimony of Christ. Their witness will ring across the earth: a people once scattered but now gathered, once divided but now made one. In them, the universe will behold the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose, and the adversary will see his last weapon fail. Division will have been defeated by love, and the family of God will shine as the eternal proof that His kingdom cannot be shaken. In these closing days, when the world convulses with its ancient complaints and modern inventions of fear, the most urgent peril facing God’s people is the invisible fracture that wounds the soul: division inside the household of faith. It is a quiet, surgical affliction. It is another order of suffering altogether.  Memory lies at the center of the struggle. Those whom God has scattered and preserved across continents carry memories not only of divine mercy but of deep, often generational wounds. This memory produces necessary guardianship: a vigilance against any echo of exploitation. Such vigilance is righteous and must be honored. Yet memory can harden into a stone that cuts. The very recollection meant to secure liberty can be turned by pride or fear into a new cord that binds the heart to suspicion. The work of reclamation must be matched by the work of reconciliation. The spiritual dynamics that give rise to division are subtle. They begin in the ordering of affections. When worship becomes more about proving who is right than about becoming who is made right, charity withers. When theological distinctives are brandished as testaments of opinion rather than invitations to holiness, the stage becomes a battlement against brothers. When grief is exposed only as grievance, testimony degenerates into accusation. And when the language of identity is seized to secure advantage rather than to steward calling, the body fractures along lines that the gospel was meant to heal. These movements are not always loud; often they sound like careful reasoning, righteous indignation, or necessary protection. The devil is most cunning when he convinces the remnant that division is actually preservation. Yet scripture and the history of redemption teach another way. From the earliest pages, God’s design was relational: created male and female, called into covenant with one another, summoned to reflect the triune communion that is the foundation of being. The Bible’s central story is of a God who gathers, unites, and heals. The prophets demanded justice, but always in the context of restoration: Israel’s wrongs were named not for the sake fracture of shame but so that the family might be reconciled. The cross itself is the supreme demonstration that the route to vindication is not triumphalism but self emptying love. If the final generation is to be sealed, it will not be because of doctrinal sharpness alone, nor because of cultural ascendancy, but because of a love that resembles the Savior’s— costly, patient, humble, and truthful. To refuse the possibility of future exploitation must be a settled posture for those who have known bondage; this is not negotiable. That resolve, however, must be disciplined by spiritual maturity. Courage must walk hand in hand with the humility that asks, “How may I be instrumentally useful in repairing what was broken?” The measure of a people’s freedom is how devotedly it pursues reconciliation with those who have offended, failed, or misunderstood it. There is a prophetic responsibility in how memory is carried. When remembrance is animated by mercy, it becomes a river that waters justice. When remembrance hardens into judgmentalism, it becomes a dam that drowns fellowship. Those who lead must understand this delicate stewardship. Leaders are called to discipline the flock toward truth and tenderness, to teach how to remember without weaponizing past hurt, to model the courage that both insists on justice and remains open to sacrificial reconciliation.  This work is spiritual. Corporately cultivated disciplines—regular corporate lament, communal confession, shared meals that cross cultural lines. These rhythms are not social niceties; they are spiritual inoculations. They teach a people how to bear the weight of another’s grief without making it their own burden alone, how to listen without immediately correcting, how to honor without capitulating to false guilt. They form a communal imagination in which diverse gifts do not compete for spotlight but combine for testimony. In such a household the healed become healers, and the freed become gardeners of freedom for others. There will be tests that reveal the depth of such cultivation. When pressure increases, when resources shrink, when fear multiplies, the temptation to hoard influence and privilege will grow stronger. Under such pressure some will reach for power; others will retreat into isolation; still others will perform piety while allowing private resentments to fester. The settled discipline of the remnant will be seen in small, unglamorous choices: the willingness to sit at the same table with a sibling who misunderstands you, the decision to speak charity into a rumor rather than fuel its spread, the readiness to forgo a platform for the sake of a brother’s dignity. It is these quotidian acts of humility that will build an unassailable unity when storms hit. Furthermore, the remnant’s final witness will not be an alliance of homogeneous thought but a mosaic of redeemed difference. Diversity will not be a problem to solve but a testimony to the breadth of God’s mercy. When historical narratives are honored as part of the body’s beauty—subject always to the cross and to truth—the resulting chorus will more faithfully reflect the glory of God. The boasting of any single group diminishes the whole; the mutual exaltation of one another magnifies the Master. That is why the work of unmaking division is also the work of creating new habits of mutual celebration through the sharing of resources that concretely repair brokenness. We must also name the spiritual enemy. Division is not merely a sociological phenomenon; it is a tactic of the adversary. He will mask slander as discernment, pride as principle, and withdrawal as wisdom. He will use legitimate grievances to seed permanent estrangement. fracture The family must resist his smokescreen with spiritual weapons: earnest prayer, prophetic clarity that refuses partisanship, and a doctrine of forgiveness that is neither sentimental nor cheap. Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is the decision to voluntarily disarm the ledger of hurt so that it can be restored to productive relationship. To forgive without seeking justice is to ignore truth; to seek justice without forgiving is to harden the heart. Both must be pursued together until reconciliation is real and durable. There is a cost to be paid in this labor. Reconciliation requires humility, and humility often looks like loss. To choose covenant loyalty over vindication is to surrender the intoxicating elation of being “right” in order to bear the burden of relationship. Yet this surrender is not defeat; it is a form of resistance to the enemy’s plan. The true victory of the remnant will be found not in triumphal assertion of identity but in the cruciform posture that loves even when love is costly. When the family of faith embraces this costly love, it reflects the character of God so vividly that the watching world will be confronted with a truth no political demonstration can equal: the gospel reconciles enmity by giving a new heart to hold two truths at once—justice and mercy, remembrance and release, dignity and humility. Finally, the demand of conscience is immediate. The essay that moves a reader to reform must not merely inform but evict complacency. Each conscience among the faithful is called to examine how memory has been carried, how wounds have been fed or healed, and what small, daily choices might be made toward rebuilding covenant connections. The work does not begin at the highest altar of policy but in the private chambers of apology, in the phone calls that bridge estrangement, in the willingness to be mentored by a brother whose skin and story have been different, and in the resolve to redistribute not only resources but honor. These are the acts that will, by God’s Spirit, constitute a new reformation of the heart. If the remnant heeds this call, the reward will be the establishment of a people whose unity is a living sermon. They will stand when empires fall, not by the might of arms, but by the unshakable testimony of mutual love forged in trial. They will be a people who can say with integrity: never, never again divided. They will be the proof that God’s covenant is not a theory but an enacted reality, a family whose cohesion reveals the character of their Head. May conscience be quickened, may repentance follow, and may the spiritual reformation begin now, in every heart willing to choose the cost of unity for the sake of the final, world-changing witness.   Solomon offers the first and perhaps most striking portrait of revelation, reason, and wisdom in harmony. At the outset of his reign, God revealed Himself in a dream, inviting Solomon to request whatever he desired. Solomon’s reasoning in that moment was sanctified—he did not ask for wealth or power, but for “an understanding heart to judge thy people”. His reasoning flowed from humility and recognition of his insufficiency, and God rewarded him with wisdom unlike any before him. That wisdom was not mere intellectual brilliance but a lived discernment, evident in his famous judgment between the two women who both claimed to be a child’s mother. Revelation set the stage, reason weighed the matter, and wisdom issued forth in a decision that displayed the character of God’s justice. Though Solomon later stumbled, his early reign shows how God’s weighing of these three realities can elevate a man into a vessel of divine truth. Daniel provides another example, one forged in trial and exile. In Babylon, revelation came to him through visions and dreams, mysteries hidden from the wise men of the empire. Yet Daniel did not merely receive revelation passively—he reasoned within himself, sought understanding, and humbly petitioned God for interpretation. His reasoning was never divorced from dependence; he acknowledged that “there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets”. The result was wisdom displayed not only in interpreting dreams but also in his conduct before kings, rulers, and enemies. His wisdom was practical: refusing defilement from the king’s table, speaking truth in perilous moments, and governing with integrity. In Daniel, we see revelation feeding reason, reason birthing prayer, and wisdom shaping a life that stood blameless amid corruption. Paul illustrates the mature culmination of this harmony in the New Testament. Revelation struck him dramatically on the road to Damascus, shattering his former reliance on human tradition and self-righteous reason. Yet God did not discard Paul’s intellect; He sanctified it. Paul’s reasoning, sharpened by Scripture and illumined by the Spirit, became a tool for unfolding the mystery of Christ to Jew and Gentile alike. His letters breathe this balance—soaring in revelation - “caught up to the third heaven”, disciplined in reason - logical argumentation in Romans, and rich in wisdom - practical exhortations to live by the Spirit. Paul shows us that revelation without sanctified reasoning can lead to fanaticism, and reason without revelation can harden into unbelief, but when both are fused and borne out in wisdom, the gospel becomes irresistible. In these three figures, God demonstrates that He weighs revelation, reason, and wisdom not in isolation but in their harmony. Solomon shows their flowering in leadership, Daniel shows their preservation in exile, and Paul shows their transformation in mission. Each testifies that God’s people are never called to choose one over the other, but to walk in their fullness, where divine disclosure, sanctified intellect, and holy living converge. In the final generation, the union of revelation, reason, and wisdom will reach its highest and most urgent expression. Revelation will come in the form of God’s final messages to the world—the everlasting gospel, the three angels’ messages, and the sealing truths that distinguish His remnant. These are not human inventions but divine disclosures, truths too weighty for speculation and too urgent for indifference. Yet God entrusts these revelations to human vessels, demanding that they not only receive them but rightly divide them. Here reason assumes a sanctified role, for the last generation must discern between truth and deception amid a flood of counterfeit revelations, false signs, and distorted teachings. Reason, submitted to the Spirit, will enable them to test all things, to recognize the difference between the voice of God and the subtle whispers of the dragon, beast, and false prophet. But revelation and reason alone will not suffice in the time of crisis. Wisdom must crown their testimony, for the world will not be persuaded merely by words or arguments but by lives that embody God’s truth. Wisdom in the final generation will appear as holy living under impossible pressure—patience in persecution, purity in corruption, love in a world grown cold. The sealed remnant will manifest wisdom not only in what they say but in how they endure, how they love their enemies, and how they reveal Christ in their character. This wisdom is not of the world, nor is it detached philosophy; it is the Spirit of Christ dwelling within, turning revealed truth into lived reality. It is this union of revelation, reason, and wisdom that will make them God’s final witnesses, living epistles read by all nations. Thus, in the last days, God weighs these three not as options but as essentials. Revelation will cut through the lies of Babylon, reason will steady the mind against confusion, and wisdom will silence the accuser by the testimony of holy lives. Together, they form the unbreakable seal of God upon His people. Just as Solomon, Daniel, and Paul each embodied this harmony in their time, so the 144,000 will embody it in fullness, becoming the living proof that God’s ways are just and His truth sufficient. The final generation will not exalt one above the other but walk in their unity, reflecting the image of Christ Himself, in whom revelation, reason, and wisdom perfectly converge. Unbreakable

Fracturing I ask that we inhale as we allow the words to breathe as the Spirit speaks to us through them in this writing. In the closing drama of earth’s history, the greatest danger that threatens the people of God is not merely the power of their enemies, nor the oppressive systems of the world, but the subtle and destructive spirit of division within the spiritual family. The adversary has long understood that no external force can overthrow a people bound together in divine unity; therefore, his most insidious weapon is to sow distrust, rivalry, suspicion, and self-centeredness among those called to be one body in Christ. Division is not simply disagreement, for differences of perspective are natural; rather, it is the rupture of covenantal love, the refusal to yield to one another in humility, the laying aside the counsel of God to reason, and the collapse of shared trust in the God who has knit His people together. This fracture, when allowed to mature, becomes more devastating than persecution, for the wound is inflicted not by strangers, but by those who should be keepers of one another’s souls. The history of God’s people is filled with lessons that reveal how division opened the door to defeat. Israel in the wilderness fell into murmuring and rebellion, not because their enemies were too strong, but because their unity was broken by complaints and fear. The kingdoms of Judah and Israel alike collapsed, not merely under the weight of foreign invaders, but under the crushing effect of inner strife and betrayal. Even in the early church, Paul’s letters are filled with earnest pleas to “be of the same mind,” to “bear one another’s burdens,” and to “endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace”. The enemy has no new strategy; his oldest tactic remains his most effective. He knows that if he can fracture the spiritual family, he can silence their witness, empty their courage, lessen their faith, and disarm their authority. The mystery of spiritual relations often lies in the way God chooses to dispense His wisdom. While His Spirit is available to all who seek in humility, He bestows greater measures of understanding and discernment upon certain individuals according to His divine purpose. This unequal distribution of wisdom is not evidence of favoritism but of calling. God places within His chosen vessels insights that prepare them for service, endurance, or testimony at a particular time. Yet, this very bestowal of higher wisdom becomes a dividing line within spiritual relations, for not all hearts are ready to receive the depth of light revealed to some. Division arises when those who have not been entrusted with such wisdom respond with resistance, skepticism, or even envy toward those who have. This pattern is visible throughout Scripture. Joseph’s brothers despised him not simply because he was loved by their father but because he bore dreams from God that revealed a higher destiny. Similarly, Moses, though called to lead, faced constant opposition from those who could not perceive the wisdom God had given him. Spiritual relations fracture when the gift of divine insight becomes a stumbling block to others who prefer the comfort of familiarity over the challenge of revelation. Another cause of division is the weight that higher wisdom places upon relationships. Those who walk in deeper spiritual insight are compelled to live with greater accountability, and their words and actions often expose hidden complacency or unbelief in others. This exposure unsettles relationships, for truth confronts the heart. When one speaks from the wellspring of wisdom granted by God, it carries authority that unsettles the status quo. The hearer must either embrace the light or recoil from it, and in that moment, relational unity either deepens in shared faith or fractures under the weight of spiritual disparity. Yet, the root of division is not the wisdom itself but the human response to it. God does not intend for wisdom to breed pride or separation but to cultivate obedience, humility, and service. However, when wisdom is received, it alters the balance of fellowship. Some will see fracture the one gifted with higher insight as arrogant or presumptuous, even when that person walks in meekness. Others will silently withdraw, feeling unworthy to walk alongside one whose vision seems clearer. Still others may attack outright, mistaking divine wisdom for human ambition. Thus, relationships once close become strained, not because love has disappeared, but because the light has revealed a hidden disparity in faith. This dynamic carries prophetic significance for the final generation. As God seals His remnant with the mysteries of His covenant, division will intensify. The greater the light, the sharper the separation from those who resist it. Families, churches, and friendships may divide because of the measure of truth entrusted to a few. It is not that God desires separation, but that the presence of higher wisdom inevitably sifts the hearts of those around it. Some will be drawn upward into deeper faith, while others will recoil, fulfilling Christ’s own words: “I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Ultimately, spiritual relations are divided not because God is unjust, but because His wisdom is both a gift and a test. It tests the humility of those who receive it and the receptivity of those who witness it. Those who accept the light grow closer to the one who bears it, finding in them a brother, sister, or guide for the journey. Those who resist, however, create distance, for the wisdom of God cannot be contained within human expectations. Thus, division becomes the inevitable consequence of God’s sovereign choice to bestow higher wisdom upon some, revealing the true nature of every heart and proving that fellowship rests not in blood or friendship alone, but in shared submission to divine truth. The repercussions are far reaching leading to a collapse of trusting one with the truth. And the aftermath of events are spiritually significant. When a spiritual fracture opens because people stop reasoning, the break is hardly ever about doctrine alone — it is about the collapse of a shared way of approaching truth: careful listening, testing, humble questioning, and mutual accountability. Failure to reason turns revealed truths into catchphrases rather than living guides, so when someone interprets scripture impulsively, dogmatically, or to protect an ego, the stewardship of truth is suspected; trust erodes because truth is no longer being handled responsibly. Scriptural revelations that were sought in unity ceases and thought begins to read one another’s motives instead of Scripture, substituting apprehension for charitable inquiry. Over time this produces parallel gatherings of conviction — each convinced of its own transparency — and the work of reconciliation becomes harder because claims are defended emotionally, not tested by reasoned exegesis, prayer, and communal wisdom. Repair begins where reason and humility return together: transparent explanation, patient dialogue that prizes both truth and the person who bears it, consistent practices for testing teaching, and leaders who model intellectual honesty and moral vulnerability; only when people see truth handled with integrity will trust be rebuilt and the spiritual fracture begin to close. The principle of division caused by unequal measures of wisdom is seen clearly in the relationship between Samuel and Eli. Eli was the established priest, experienced in the rituals of Israel, yet the voice of God came to Samuel while he was still a child. This reversal of expectation produced tension. Though Eli eventually acknowledged the authenticity of the boy’s calling, it exposed the fading of his own spiritual vision. Samuel’s rise as a prophet illuminated Eli’s failure, and thus their spiritual relation was marked by a transition that carried quiet strain. In this, we see that God’s choice to impart wisdom to the humble over the established can unsettle bonds and draw hidden lines of separation. Daniel’s life offers another profound witness. When Babylon took him and his companions captive, they were set among many others from Israel, all of whom shared the same heritage and upbringing. Yet God gave Daniel and the three Hebrews “knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom,” and to Daniel specifically, “understanding in all visions and dreams”. That unequal bestowal created both elevation and division. Among the wise men of Babylon, jealousy brewed; among his fellow captives, Daniel’s unique insight set him apart. His wisdom preserved the lives of others, yet it also created an invisible chasm, for few could comprehend the depth of what God entrusted to him. Wisdom both unites through service and divides through its rarity. fracture The New Testament continues this pattern in the life of Paul. Once an opponent of Christ, Paul was granted revelations surpassing those of many apostles who had walked physically with Jesus. His letters reveal the extraordinary depth of understanding given to him, yet that very gift strained his relationships. Some questioned his authority, others accused him of boasting, and still others distanced themselves because his vision seemed to outpace theirs. Even among the apostles, Paul’s calling to the Gentiles was not fully embraced at first, and his confrontation with Peter over hypocrisy displays how higher wisdom disrupts unity when truth pierces comfort. The division was not born of hostility alone but of God’s deliberate choice to elevate one voice with a sharper measure of revelation. Even within Christ’s own disciples, unequal measures of understanding produced both intimacy and fracture. Peter, James, and John were repeatedly drawn aside to witness deeper mysteries, such as the transfiguration and Gethsemane’s agony. Their proximity to Christ’s inner revelation distinguished them from the others, and this distinction fostered questions, rivalry, and even resentment. John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” bore a unique closeness that culminated in the Revelation of heavenly mysteries at Patmos. That special entrustment, while glorious, set him apart from others, revealing again how spiritual relations shift when God’s wisdom flows in unequal measure. These examples reveal that division is not accidental but divinely permitted. God uses it to sift motives, to humble pride, and to refine both those who carry wisdom and those who must respond to it. Eli was humbled by Samuel’s calling; Daniel’s peers were tested by his revelations; Paul’s apostleship forced the early church to wrestle with God’s surprising choices; and the disciples had to learn that proximity to Christ’s wisdom was not about competition but about surrender. Division, therefore, is not merely a breakdown of relations but a stage upon which the hearts of men are proven. In the last days, this same pattern will climax. God’s sealed remnant will be entrusted with mysteries that the wider body of believers may resist. Families will divide, congregations will fracture, and friendships will strain, not because love has failed, but because unequal measures of wisdom create a separation between those who yield and those who recoil. Just as Daniel was lifted before Babylon, and Paul before the nations, so too will God’s chosen be lifted to carry a wisdom that will both save and divide. In this, the wisdom given is not only a light to the faithful but also a fire that tests the hidden allegiances of every heart. In the final generation, the division caused by God’s imparted wisdom will reach its climactic expression. Those who are sealed by the Spirit will carry a depth of revelation that is both illuminating and separating. Just as Samuel’s voice distinguished him from Eli, and Daniel’s insight set him apart from Babylon, the faithful remnant will bear knowledge of divine mysteries that the world, and even the broader church, cannot fully receive. This wisdom will not only expose hidden unbelief but will awaken hearts prepared to respond, sifting the faithful from the lukewarm. Families will experience strain, churches will wrestle with dissent, and friendships will be tested, for the presence of God’s higher insight cannot be ignored or contained. Yet this division serves a holy purpose. God does not grant wisdom to isolate; He grants it to purify, to align, and to prepare His people for the weight of their calling. Those who embrace the light will find intimacy, unity, and strength among others who walk in the same revelation. Those who resist will reveal their hearts, and their separation, though painful, will preserve the integrity of the mission entrusted to the remnant. The sifting is fracture both protective and preparatory: God uses division to guard the vessel from compromise, and to ensure that His truth is carried without distortion into the final hour. Prophetically, the wisdom bestowed upon the remnant will not merely distinguish them in perception but will empower them to act decisively in the outpouring of God’s plan. They will discern deception where others are blind, they will speak courageously where others remain silent, and they will live in obedience where others compromise. Just as the apostles, Daniel, and the disciples bore gifts that altered relationships, the final generation will carry a revelation that transforms their communities and draws others into alignment with God’s purposes. Division, in this sense, becomes the mechanism by which God separates the vessel from the world’s entanglements, preparing a people who are holy, faithful, and wholly dependent upon Him. Ultimately, the division wrought by higher wisdom reveals the true nature of every heart. In the last generation, as in Scripture, God’s choice to bestow insight will illuminate the faithful and expose the unfaithful. The separation will be painful, yet necessary, for it will protect the integrity of the remnant and fulfill the divine promise that a purified people will stand in readiness to complete God’s redemptive plan. In this context, division is not evidence of abandonment but of preparation; it is a holy refining, a crucible in which the faithful are made ready to walk in the fullness of God’s light. The wisdom entrusted to some, thus becomes both a sword and a shield—dividing hearts where compromise remains, and guarding those who are called to carry the fire of truth into the final hour. As the last days approach, the division caused by God’s imparted wisdom will manifest with unprecedented intensity. Families, churches, and spiritual communities will face testing unlike any in history. Those who receive deeper revelation—those who walk in the mysteries of God’s final counsel—will be increasingly distinguished from those who cling to comfort, tradition, or halftruth. The final generation will experience relational strain because the light they bear will expose hidden compromise, unfaithfulness, and spiritual blindness in those around them. This division, though deeply painful, is part of God’s sovereign plan to sift hearts and prepare vessels for His ultimate purpose. In families, the strain will be intimate and unavoidable...particularly spiritual families. Parents who have long guided their children may find themselves challenged by the younger generation’s deeper spiritual understanding. Children in the remnant may perceive truths their parents cannot yet see, or parents may walk in revelation that distances them from children unready to embrace God’s higher wisdom. These tensions are not a sign of divine rejection but of necessary purification. God allows relational separation to protect the integrity of the remnant, ensuring that His truth is neither compromised nor diluted in critical moments before the coming of Christ. Division will be both doctrinal and spiritual. Leaders who have walked in revelation will be tested by congregations unwilling to follow beyond familiar boundaries. Just as the apostles faced skepticism, resistance, and even hostility from both believers and unbelievers alike, the final generation will confront similar challenges. Misunderstanding, envy, and subtle opposition will arise because higher wisdom often threatens human pride. Those who remain in the light, however, will find spiritual alignment with one another, forming a holy nucleus capable of bearing God’s end-time messages with authority and love. In this crucible, relational division functions as a means of divine separation—ensuring that the faithful are insulated from compromise and positioned to fulfill God’s ultimate plan. Spiritually, the end-time sifting will extend beyond the visible church into the broader societal realm. The remnant, sealed with divine understanding, will be called to discern deception in governance, culture, and media, revealing spiritual realities that the majority cannot yet perceive. The higher wisdom imparted to them will act as both illumination and separation: illumination for those ready to embrace it, separation from those who resist it. Just as the seven thunders and the sealed scroll in Revelation are reserved for the elect, so too will certain divine mysteries remain inaccessible to the world until God’s purposes are fulfilled. The very insight that enables the remnant to stand firm in truth will simultaneously produce friction, misunderstanding, and isolation from a society enslaved to its own error. fracture Yet this division is always purposeful. God’s wisdom is never given for pride or alienation; it is given to prepare, protect, and empower. The trials of relational separation cultivate humility, dependence upon the Spirit, and a refined character in those entrusted with higher knowledge. Those who yield to the light, despite the strain it brings, will emerge as the vessels capable of proclaiming the three angels’ messages with clarity and authority. Division, therefore, is a crucible—a spiritual mechanism by which God separates the faithful from compromise and purifies the remnant for the final proclamation of His truth. Ultimately, the prophetic significance of this division is redemptive. It will reveal the true nature of hearts in every sphere: family, church, and society. The sealed remnant will stand distinct, not out of human ambition, but because they have received God’s wisdom and responded with obedience. Those who reject the light will be sifted away, while those who receive it will find deep unity, intimacy, and power among one another. In this final separation, God’s purpose is revealed: a purified, wise, and faithful people, prepared to endure the time of trouble and complete the mission entrusted to them. Division, though painful, becomes the instrument through which God preserves His truth, safeguards His people, and ensures that His wisdom is carried forward without compromise, illuminating the final generation for His glory. This danger is magnified in the last days, for God has declared that He will gather a people from all nations, tribes, and tongues who bear His seal and carry the everlasting gospel. These are not a people bound together by geography or culture alone, but by covenant identity in Christ. Yet within this chosen remnant lies the temptation of mistrust, especially as the scattered descendants of the ancient Hebrews awaken to their true identity. The reality of centuries of exploitation, slavery, and oppression cannot be ignored, and with that awakening comes the unshakable conviction that never again will Black people, as heirs of this sacred lineage, submit to enslavement or exploitation. This is not a matter of mere pride or self-assertion, but of prophetic destiny. The yoke of oppression has been broken, and a divine boundary has been set: the scattered people shall rise, and they shall not be bent again under the weight of another man’s chains. Yet herein lies the place for sober reflection, for the refusal to be enslaved outwardly must also be matched with a refusal to be enslaved inwardly. Division in the spiritual family becomes a hidden chain as heavy as any iron yoke. While no empire will again bind God’s scattered people in physical slavery, there remains the peril of emotional, doctrinal, and spiritual bondage through suspicion, bitterness, and rivalry within the household of faith. The adversary would gladly exploit wounds of the past to sow seeds of present discord. He would take the memory of injustice and twist it into resentment. He would tempt the rising generation to mistrust their brothers and sisters in Christ, and to fracture the very unity that gives the remnant its power. In this way, division becomes a subtle form of enslavement — not by whip and shackle, but by distrust and alienation. The final generation must, therefore, walk with profound vigilance. They must recognize that unity is not uniformity, but a holy weaving together of differences into one fabric of purpose. They must learn that love does not erase scars, but it does heal them into testimonies of strength rather than festering wounds of bitterness. The greatness of the remnant is not that it will avoid conflict altogether, but that it will transcend it through forgiveness, patience, and covenant loyalty. To refuse exploitation outwardly but to embrace envy or rivalry inwardly is to accept bondage in another form. Only by refusing both can God’s last-day people stand free indeed. fracture
