WAKE UP CALL TO HUMANITY

October 2, 2021

 

"For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."

(Romans 12:4-5)

 

To:                         Fellow Human Beings

From:                    Shepherd Etma (Etman Heart)

Subject:                 Humanity Is One Body

 

The following are the principles and beliefs formed based on the Scripture with the 21st Century Divine Revelation (21CDR) that I am presenting here as a wake-up call to prevent untimely world destruction, as expressed in this verse:

  • Luke 21:10-11, " Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."This is explained further by the following two verses:

This is explained further by the following two verses:

  • Romans 1:18, "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness."
  • Matthew 7:15-16, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"

We, human beings, need desperately solutions to save our only home, the mother earth, from various serious issues, such as climate change, pandemic, drought, wildfires, hunger, civil wars, earthquakes, typhoons, etc.

We do not need to change but to subject ourselves to a spiritual awakening that we are the only one capable of among God's creation, as expressed in the following verses:

  • 1 John 3:24, "Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us."
  • Hebrews 10:16, “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”

  • John 4:23, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."

2. Jesus was born to testify to the truth, not to make his birthday popular as Christmas.

  • John 18:37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

3. The truth came through Jesus.

  • John 1:17, "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."
