FEW Will Be Saved: As a Drop is to a Wave

For warning and exhortation:
Ezekiel 33: 18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
19 But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this
Note: The Lord is speaking boldly now regarding His way of righteousness to and through His children. Those who have and keep/obey Father’s commands given through Jesus, His Word, and abide in Word have Holy Spirit abiding in them.
These alone are able to discern The Holy Word of God.
If Holy Spirit is not in you, (you are ruled by your carnal emotions, thoughts, words and actions consistently, and you don’t feel the importance of asking God to help you turn from sin and to help you do His will), you cannot understand Word of God.
You MUST be born again, of water and Spirit. Father God is advising all humans who want to be with Him to take this seriously and stop focusing on things of this world (that will pass away and never be remembered) and seek Him like He really is your Manna that sustains your life. Why gain in the body and lose your soul??
Father is compelling ALL WHO WILL COME TO THE WATERS TO DO SO NOW. Seek Him, do what He tells you to do through His Son, Word of God. NOW IS THE TIME.
Carnal-minded people justify reading “Christian” books that people write, and some people ONLY read books approved of by their church, such as the Catholic Church (rules of humans who may not be filled with Holy Spirit).
God says it is our responsibility to not allow ANYONE to beguile us of our faith in Jesus Christ. Men who put the Bible together may not have all been filled by Holy Spirit. We know that satan twists Word of God.
If we do not learn and search and seek God, we will not have His wisdom and discernment. Many people have died or are dying because we did not research the most recent “medicine”, we simply TRUSTED IN PEOPLE AND OUR OWN LOGIC INSTEAD OF ASKING FATHER GOD TO SHOW US TRUTH.
Therefore most people didn’t know that years ago in order to create a fetal cell line by which the recent medicine could be successfully created abortion and torture of those aborted living babies by removing their organs to create cell lines was done. The babies were not given pain killers because that would have ‘tainted’ the livers, kidneys, eyeballs, etc. that were being removed from the living babies’ bodies. (You have to be alive for your organs to be removed because once blood flow stops, organs break down quickly.) Hundreds of aborted babies were tortured in this way so that useful cell lines could be created, so that new medicines could be used and much money to be made. And many of us were duped into worshipping satan via accepting the means of this new medicine that could only exist by what God calls abomination before Him and sacrificial worship of satan. Most Christians do not even believe in satan and that his worshippers are meant to BEGUILE those who want to believe in Truth. Yet, if we disobey God and don’t seek Him and His Kingdom, we perish for we detested seeking God. We hated knowledge. We rejected TRUTH THAT SAVES US.
Money worshipping “Christians” even said that Jesus Our Lord would have taken the medicine. If you don’t see that this is saying Jesus would have supported abortion and torture of innocents, you are not on the narrow road and you do not have Word of God on your heart and mind.
This is not to condemn, but to exhort us all to repent and weep before God now and learn to obey His righteous ways. If we do not take the end of our soul seriously, how will we be saved? Many will not be. God says so. Let that knowledge cause us to press into God all the more, and ask Him to teach us. He is merciful, if we ask Him for wisdom, He will give it. Our faith and hearts will be tested by The Lord.
Let us learn this grave lesson and truly turn to Our Gracious God for Forgiveness, Help, and Direction.
If we do not know, we perish for the sin we take on. God is merciful if we repent before Him, but He tells us to walk in His Holy Spirit Wisdom. Without Holy Spirit, you might stand against abortion and send pro life places money, or you might ban a toothpaste company for supporting abortion, yet without any research we trust people and accept a medicine that could only exist because years ago many innocent babies were murdered by torture. If you don’t research, and ask God to show you, you will perish for lack of His Wisdom. Repent! He will forgive, He is merciful.
So few will be saved. If you want to go to Heaven, You must give heed to God’s Word. His Word alone is Truth and never contradicts, for God does not change, He does not lie. If we don’t understand something in His Word we must ask Him to show us Truth.
If something gives God glory, you know that is not from satan. Satan will not cause people to give God glory and do righteousness and turn from sin.
Satan WILL cause PEOPLE TO TAKE GLORY (false prophets are as fortune tellers and bask in glory and do not have urgency for souls to find salvation and Holy Spirit.) Satan will DISTRACT people with things of the world and cares of this life. Recognize the wolf and reject them.
If WORD OF GOD is not constantly on your mind and heart, you WILL sin against God. If a prophet or teacher never talks about Jesus’ Salvation or how to obey Him then they are NOT making disciples of our Lord and King Jesus Christ. Jesus said His will walk in love, walk by faith, walk according to Holy Spirit showing fruit of love, kindness, gentleness, etc., and His will disciple new converts TEACHING THEM TO OBEY WORD so that they, when they deny their self and OBEY, Father and Jesus will sup with them, their prayers will be heard, and Holy Spirit will fill them and teach them.
Many people run to and fro listening to ANYONE who tags the word “Jesus” onto their teachings. MANY more are going to hell than will be saved. ONLY THOSE who Jeremiah 33:3 and 29:11-13… with ALL YOUR HEART… will find Father and His Truth.
God is speaking plainly now. Those who care for the soul He gave to them will harken and discern.
Included below are quotes from Apocryphal books. As you buy and read a book or seminar from any claimed Christian author, discern these in the same way. Do they line up with God’s Character in Word? Do these give God (alone) glory? Do these writings cause me to get my focus on God, cause me to meditate on His precepts all day long? Am I convicted of my sin to the point that I weep before God over it? Who gets the glory, a human or God? If a human is getting ANY GLORY, consider why you would give a person glory when only God deserves it.
Many Books have been removed/discounted as God’s Word such as Esdras and Enoch and Wisdom of Solomon. Why do people remove or not add them? Usually for financial advantage. For example, many people pay their church to pray for souls of their dead loved ones to get out of Purgatory. As you see in 2 Esdras 7:75-101, souls do not have opportunity to repent after they die. There is no change in their eternal destination after death. So, if you want to make money by telling people they can purchase the power of Holy Spirit (Acts tells of how God feels about one who wants to buy with money the power of God) or give money to buy a soul out of torment after they die, you remove GODS WORD. Discern for yourselves. Your salvation may be on the line. We are told to make sure we are in the faith. Examine ourselves, ask God to examine our hearts!
I refuse to take a human’s opinions regarding apocrypha. I want to read with Holy Spirit, not looking beyond the established WORD for other Truths, but to confirm Word and learn what God is teaching us.
FEW WILL BE SAVED
DISCERN AND ask Holy Spirit to teach you.
Matthew 7: 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [a]Because narrow is the gate and [b]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Proverbs 2
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Apocryphal verses Father told me to share. I pray for all who have ears, hear and remain faithful to Father God and His righteous ways!
Wisdom of Solomon Ch 2 (what the wicked say, just like modern day wicked people, depart from them saints of The Most High!!)
1For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.
2For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:
3Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
4And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
5For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.
6Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
7Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
8Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
9Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
10Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.
11Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.
12Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.
13He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.
14He was made to reprove our thoughts.
15He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men’s, his ways are of another fashion.
16We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.
17Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.
18For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.
19Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.
20Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.
21Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them.
22As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.
23For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
24Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.
Wisdom Chapter 3
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.
2In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
3And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.
4For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
5And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
6As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
7And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.
8They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
9They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
10But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.
11For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:
12Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:
13Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.
14And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.
15For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.
16As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.
17For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.
18Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.
19For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.
2 Esdras 8
1And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few. 2I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras; As when thou askest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of: even so is the course of this present world. 3There be many created, but few shall be saved.

2 Esdras 7:50-60 (WHY FEW WILL BE SAVED)
50 For this reason the Most High has made not one world but two. And what good is it that an everlasting hope has been promised to us, but we have miserably failed?
51 For whereas you have said that the righteous are not many but few, while the ungodly abound, hear the explanation for this. Or that safe and healthful habitations have been reserved for us, but we have lived wickedly?
52 “If you have just a few precious stones, will you add to them lead and clay?” Or that the glory of the Most High will defend those who have led a pure life, but we have walked in the most wicked ways?
53 I said, “Lord, how could that be?” Or that a paradise shall be revealed, whose fruit remains unspoiled and in which are abundance and healing, but we shall not enter it,
54 And he said to me, “Not only that, but ask the earth and she will tell you; defer to her, and she will declare it to you. because we have lived in unseemly places?
55 Say to her, `You produce gold and silver and brass, and also iron and lead and clay; Or that the faces of those who practiced self-control shall shine more than the stars, but our faces shall be blacker than darkness?
56 but silver is more abundant than gold, and brass than silver, and iron than brass, and lead than iron, and clay than lead.’ For while we lived and committed iniquity we did not consider what we should suffer after death.”
57 Judge therefore which things are precious and desirable, those that are abundant or those that are rare?” He answered and said, “This is the meaning of the contest which every man who is born on earth shall wage,
58 I said, “O sovereign Lord, what is plentiful is of less worth, for what is more rare is more precious.” that if he is defeated he shall suffer what you have said, but if he is victorious he shall receive what I have said.
59 He answered me and said, “Weigh within yourself what you have thought, for he who has what is hard to get rejoices more than he who has what is plentiful. For this is the way of which Moses, while he was alive, spoke to the people, saying, `Choose for yourself life, that you may live!’
60 So also will be the judgment which I have promised; for I will rejoice over the few who shall be saved, because it is they who have made my glory to prevail now, and through them my name has now been honored. But they did not believe him, or the prophets after him, or even myself who have spoken to them.
2 Esdras 9:16
13And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall be punished, and when: but enquire how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created. 14Then answered I and said, 15I have said before, and now do speak, and will speak it also hereafter,
that there be many more of them which perish, than of them which shall be saved:
16Like as a wave is greater than a drop.
2 Esdras 7:75-101
Revised Standard Version
State of the Dead before Judgment
75 I answered and said, “If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?”
76 He answered me and said, “I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is:
When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die,
as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High.
79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear God—
80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but
shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High.
82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live.
83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High.
84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days.
85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet.
86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over[a] into torments.
87 The seventh way, which is worse[b] than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame,[c] and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 “Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body.
[d] 89 During the time that they lived in it,[e]
they laboriously served the Most High, and
withstood danger every hour,
that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them:
91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death.
93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaits them.
94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust.
95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days.
96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil[f] from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97
The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on.
98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced;[g] and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter.”
100 I answered and said, “Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?”
101 He said to me, “They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations.”
