Prayerfully consider all which has been written, AMP Acts 17:11
11Now these people were more noble and open-minded than those in Thessalonica, so they received the message [of salvation through faith in the Christ] with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

My children,

My kingdom is coming quickly. Look around, my word is being fulfilled.

Sex, lies, videotapes keep your servants in check. The most debauched, horrific things one can imagine is on there. They do you think abiding with the enemy keeps them safe. It does not!! Satan and his children are great deceivers, magicians. The only safety is with me. They are only preserving their physical bodies for now. One day they will either cross them or be of no more use. Then they will be eliminated. Think (Lindsey Graham) they all have handlers minus one or two. They are all career politicians. Why? You follow them around as though they will help you. Some of you even worship them. They are only allowed to give you what they have permission to give, think (Marjorie Taylor Green). They cannot serve at the pleasure of the people of this nation. No not so. They allow enough to keep the peace, avoid civil war. This is the true politics worldwide. If you only knew their plans. This is folded in, from day one, into every nation/government (think the long game). They are told not to give you what you want. Your countries have been disassembled one bolt at a time. The governments’ weighted heavily by those who followed me. They were blessed, we commanded and built nations. As time went on, my people got old, the generations coming up so they knew me. Many did not. Those percentages started leaning towards those who serve the enemy. Anyone who does not know and serve me serves the enemy.

This is why your countries look the way they do today. Only a handful of my servants remain. Could they turn governments around – yes – If my people who were called by my name would humble themselves, repent and come back to me. But, they have not.
I have warned, judged nations, there has been little return, until now. Mankind, those who survived my judgments as of late are returning back to me. Look around. If you have read my word, you will see you are in tribulation. Since covid –

The great tribulation is when everything changes for everyone. Life has changed overnight.

That day is coming – those who have returned or have come – you have nothing to fear, at all. I say, get to work. Tell them about my glory. How I saved you. Tell them where you came from. Tell them about me. Teach them, pray with them, walk alongside of them. This is my will and your purpose until I come.

They will be exposing/bringing what they call aliens. These are disembodied spirits, twice dead. They did not create you, they are not your brothers or saviors. Do not fall for this deception.

When disasters continue to happen – they blame climate change. They will never admit they are being judged. When I come for my first harvest, they will say the aliens took them. They were bad people. Now those remaining, since my children are now out of the way, they can have the world they wanted. I say welcome to hell on earth. This is exactly what it’ll be for those who remain. This is when the Mark will be required. You will announce your allegiance to them. Denounce me and accept their transhumanism, chips and cures. You will instantly know you are slated for damnation. It will be announced in your soul. No more chances with me, no turning back, no repentance. Your decision is final. Your choices your actions. It can never be undone. You are spiritually marked by this enemy. The spirit of God immediately leaves you.

WFA note: Your body is the physical shell, your soul is your mind and feelings, and your spirit is your connection to God.

WFA NOTE:

Body (The Physical Part)
• The dust: God made the body from the earth.
• The temple: Your body holds the Holy Spirit.
• Action: You use your body to do good work and honor God.
Soul (The Mind and Feelings)
• The mind: Your thoughts, choices, and logic live here.
• The heart: Your deep feelings and desires live here.
• Action: You must love God with all your soul and change how you think.
Spirit (The Inner Life)
• The breath: God gave life to your spirit.
• The God-link: This part talks to God’s Spirit.
• Action: Your spirit is dead in sin until God makes it alive through repentance (a long process within itself), acceptance and belief in Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior. This also means you do not go back to willful habitual sinning.

Message continued:

I am giving this warning one more time. My other Messengers will do the same.

Heed it like your lives depend on it. Because they do. You all preexisted before you got here, so did the demons. Each one is to work out their own salvation, demons are judged, twice dead, some of them, why they hate you – their ultimate goal to hurt me and you is to take you with them.

Heed my words. This is not a game. Your last shot, your last hope. Your choice. Doing nothing is choosing and determines your destiny.

Good people are as filthy rags among a savior who is tried and true, sinless. They could not stand before my Son. Their sin burden would cause them to collapse before him..

Remember, heed my words. Heed my spirit. You have been warned. Remember who died for you, out of his incredible, and unmanageable love for each of you. You will see the scars when you meet him. Not the Adonis looking Jesus, the real one.
END-

Scriptures given with the message AMP version

Acts 2: 37-42
37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart [with remorse and anxiety], and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?” 38And Peter said to them, “Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is for you and your children and for all who are far away [including the Gentiles], as many as the Lord our God calls to Himself.” 40And Peter solemnly testified and continued to admonish and urge them with many more words, saying, “[g]Be saved from this crooked and unjust generation!” 41So then, those who accepted his message were baptized; and on that day about [h]3,000 souls were added [to the body of believers]. 42They were continually and faithfully devoting themselves to the instruction of the apostles, and to fellowship, to [i]eating meals together and to prayers.

Proverbs 3:11 – 12
11My son, do not reject or take lightly the discipline of the LORD [learn from your mistakes and the testing that comes from His correction through discipline];
Nor despise His rebuke,
12For those whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

James 4:16-27
16But as it is, you boast [vainly] in your pretension and arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.
Micah chapter 1

Destruction in Israel and Judah
1The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw [through divine revelation] concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2Hear, O peoples, all of you;
Listen closely, O earth and all that is in it,
And let the Lord GOD be witness [giving a testimony of the judgment] against you,
The Lord from His holy temple [in the heavens].
3For behold, the LORD is coming down from His place
He shall come down and tread [in judgment] on the high places of the earth.
4The mountains shall melt under Him
And the valleys shall be split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
5All this is because of the rebellion and apostasy of [a]Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel (the Northern Kingdom).
What is the rebellion and apostasy of Jacob?
Is it not [the abandonment of God in order to worship the idols of] Samaria?
What are the high places [of idolatry] in Judah (the Southern Kingdom)?
Are they not Jerusalem [the capital and center of corruption]?
6Therefore I [the LORD] shall make Samaria a [b]heap of ruins [and of stones and arable land] in the open country,
A place for planting vineyards;
And I will pour her stones down into the ravine
And lay bare her foundations.
7All her idols shall be broken in pieces,
All her earnings [from her idolatry] shall be burned with fire,
And all her images I shall make desolate;
For from the earnings of a prostitute she collected them,
And to the earnings of a prostitute they shall return.
8Because of this I [Micah] must lament (mourn over with expressions of grief) and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked [without outer garments as if robbed];
I must wail like the jackals
And lament [with a loud, mournful cry] like the ostriches.
9For Samaria’s wound is incurable,
For it has come to Judah;
The enemy has reached the gate of my people,
Even to Jerusalem.
10[c]Announce it not in Gath [in Philistia],
Weep not at all [and in this way betray your grief to Gentiles];
In Beth-le-aphrah (House of Dust) roll in the dust [among your own people].
11Go on your way [into exile–stripped of beauty, disarmed], inhabitants of Shaphir (Beautiful), in shameful nakedness.
The inhabitant of Zaanan (Go Out) does not go out [of the house];
The wailing of Beth-ezel (House of Removal) will take away from you its support.
12For the inhabitant of Maroth (Bitterness)
Writhes in pain [at its losses] and waits anxiously for good,
Because a catastrophe has come down from the LORD
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13Harness the chariot to the team of horses [to escape the invasion],
O inhabitant of Lachish–
She was the beginning of sin
To the Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem)–
Because in you were found
The rebellious acts of Israel.
14Therefore you will give parting gifts
On behalf of Moresheth-gath (Micah’s home);
The houses of Achzib (Place of Deceit) will become a deception
To the kings of Israel.
15Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
O inhabitant of Mareshah (Prominent Place).
The glory (nobility) of Israel will enter Adullam [seeking refuge].
16Make yourself bald [in mourning]–shave off your hair
For the children of your delight;
Remain as bald as the eagle,
For your children will be taken from you into exile.

John 1:1-5
1In the beginning [before all time] was the Word ([a]Christ), and the Word was with God, and [b]the Word was God Himself. 2He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 4In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines on in the [c]darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].
Hosea 4:1-12

1Hear the word of the LORD, you children of Israel,
For the LORD has a [legal] case with the inhabitants of the land,
Because there is no faithfulness [no steadfast love, no dependability] or loyalty or kindness
Or knowledge of God [from personal experience with Him] in the land.
2There is [false] swearing of oaths, deception (broken faith), murder, stealing, and adultery;
They employ violence, so that one [act of] bloodshed follows closely on another.
3Therefore the land [continually] mourns,
And everyone who lives in it languishes [in tragic suffering]
Together with the animals of the open country and the birds of the heavens;
Even the fish of the sea disappear.
4Yet let no one find fault, nor let any rebuke [others];
For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
5So you will stumble in the daytime,
And the [false] prophet will also stumble with you in the night;
And I will destroy your mother (Israel).
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will].
Because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge,
I will also reject you from being My priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your children.
7The more they multiplied [in numbers and increased in power], the more they sinned against Me;
I will change their glory into shame.
8They (the priests) [a]feed on the sin offering of My people
And set their heart on their wickedness.
9And it shall be: like people, like priest [both are wicked and both will be judged];
So I will punish them for their ways
And repay them for their deeds.
10They will eat, but not have enough;
They will play the prostitute, but not increase [their descendants],
Because they have stopped giving heed to the LORD.
11Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away the mind and the [spiritual] understanding.
12My people consult their [lifeless] wooden idol, and their [diviner’s] wand gives them oracles.
For a spirit of prostitution has led them astray [morally and spiritually],
And they have played the prostitute, withdrawing themselves from their God.

Romans 8: 28-38
28And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. 29For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. 30And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity].
31What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? 32He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself]. 34Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us. 35Who shall ever separate us from the love of [d]Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36Just as it is written and forever remains written,
“FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE ARE REGARDED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.” 37Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].

Jeremiah 4:1-19
1“If you will return, O Israel,” says the LORD,
“If you will return to Me,
And if you will put away your detestable things and remove your man-made gods from My sight,
And not stray or waver,
2And if you swear [your oaths], ‘As the LORD lives,’
In truth, in justice, and in righteousness,
Then the nations will bless themselves in Him,
And in Him they will glory.”
3For this is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem,
“Plow your uncultivated ground [for a season],
And do not sow among thorns.
4“Circumcise (dedicate, sanctify) yourselves to the LORD
And remove the foreskin [sins] of your heart,
Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Or else My wrath will go forth like fire [consuming all that gets in its way]
And burn and there will be no one to quench it,
Because of the evil of your acts.”
5Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say,
“Blow the trumpet in the land;
Cry aloud and say,
‘Assemble yourselves, and let us go
Into the fortified cities.’
6“Raise a banner toward Zion [to mark the way for those seeking safety inside Jerusalem’s walls]!
Seek refuge, do not stand [immobile],
For I am bringing evil from the north (the army of Babylon),
And great destruction.
7“A lion has left his lair,
And a destroyer of nations is on his way.
He has gone out from his place
To desolate your land;
Your cities will be in ruins
Without an inhabitant.
8“For this reason, put on sackcloth [for mourning],
Lament (mourn with expressions of grief for the dead) and wail,
For the fierce anger of the LORD
Has not turned back from us.” 9“It shall come about in that day,” says the LORD, “that the heart and courage of the king will fail (be paralyzed), and also the heart of the princes; the priests will be appalled and the prophets will be astounded and horrified.”
10Then I said, Alas, Lord GOD! Surely You have completely deceived and misled this people and Jerusalem, [for the prophets represented You as] saying [to Your people], ‘You will have peace,’ but [in fact] a sword reaches to their throat.”
11In that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A scorching wind from the barren heights in the wilderness [comes at My command] against the daughter of My people–not [a wind] to winnow and not to cleanse [from chaff, as when threshing, but] 12a wind too strong and full for this comes at My word. Now I will also speak judgment against My people.”
13“Behold, the enemy comes up like clouds,
His chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe (judgment is coming) to us, for we are ruined!”
14O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness,
That you may be saved.
How long will your wicked and immoral thoughts
Lodge within you?
15For a voice declares from Dan [far in the north],
And proclaims evil from Mount Ephraim.
16“Warn the [neighboring] nations now [that our enemy is coming]!
Announce to Jerusalem,
‘Besiegers are coming from a far country,
And they lift their voices and shout against the cities of Judah.
17‘Like watchmen of a field they are against her on all sides,
Because she has rebelled against Me,’ says the LORD.
18“Your ways and your deeds
Have brought these things on you.
This is your tragedy and doom; how bitter,
How it has touched your heart!”
Lament over Judah’s Devastation
19My soul, my soul! I writhe in anguish and pain! Oh, the walls of my heart!
My heart is pounding and throbbing within me;
I cannot be silent,
For you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.

Isaiah 22:7-19
7And it came to pass that your choicest valleys were full of chariots,
And the horsemen took their fixed positions [in an offensive array] at the gate [of Jerusalem].
8Then God removed the [protective] covering of Judah;
And in that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest (Solomon’s armory).
9You saw that the breaches
In the wall of the City of David [the citadel of Zion] were many;
You collected [within the city’s walls] the waters of the Lower Pool (Siloam).
10Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem
And you tore down the houses [to get materials] to fortify the city wall [by extending it].
11You also made a reservoir between the two walls
For the waters of the Old Pool,
But you did not look to its Maker,
Nor did you recognize Him who planned it long ago.
12Therefore in that day the Lord GOD of hosts called you to weeping, to mourning,
To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth [in humiliation].
13Instead, there is joy and jubilation,
Killing of oxen and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating meat and drinking wine, saying,
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”
14But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself in my ears,
“This sin absolutely will not be forgiven you
Until you die,” says the Lord GOD of hosts.
15For the Lord GOD of hosts says this, “Go to this [contemptible] steward,
To Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household [but is building himself a tomb worthy of a king, and say to him],
16‘What business do you have here?
And whom do you have here,
That you have hewn out a tomb here for yourself,
You who hew a sepulcher on the height,
You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?
17‘Listen carefully, the LORD is about to hurl you away violently, O man;
And He is about to grasp you firmly
18And roll you up tightly like a ball
And toss you into a vast country;
There you will die
And there your splendid chariots will be,
You shame of your master’s house.’
19“I will depose you from your office,
And you will be pulled down from your position [of importance].

Isaiah 55:1-7.
1“Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have no money come, buy grain and eat.
Come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without cost [simply accept it as a gift from God].
2“Why do you spend money for that which is not bread,
And your earnings for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight in abundance.
3“Incline your ear [to listen] and come to Me;
Hear, so that your soul may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful mercies [promised and] shown to David.
4“Listen carefully, I have appointed him [David, representing the Messiah] to be a witness to the nations [regarding salvation],
A leader and commander to the peoples.
5“In fact, you Israel] will call a nation that you do not know,
And a nation that does not know you will run to you,
Because of the LORD your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”
6Seek the LORD while He may be found;
Call on Him [for salvation] while He is near.
7Let the wicked leave (behind) his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the LORD,
And He will have compassion (mercy) on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 57 1-13

1The righteous man perishes [at the hand of evil], and no one takes it to heart;
Faithful and devout men are taken away, while no one understands
That the righteous person is taken away [to be spared] from disaster and evil.
2He enters into peace [through death];
They rest in their beds (graves),
Each one who walked uprightly [following God’s will, living with integrity].
3“But come here, you sons of a sorceress [raised in deception and superstition],
Offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.
4“Of whom do you make fun?
Against whom do you open wide your mouth
And stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of rebellion (sin),
Offspring of deceit,
5Who inflame yourselves [with lust in pagan rites] among the oaks (terebinth trees),
Under every green and leafy tree,
Who slaughter the children [in sacrifice] in the ravines
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6“Among the smooth stones of the ravine
Is your portion, they (the idols) are your lot;
Even to them you have poured out a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I be quiet concerning these things [leaving them unpunished–bearing them with patience]?
7“Upon a high and lofty mountain
You have [openly and shamelessly] made your [idolatrous and adulterous] bed;
Even there you went up to offer sacrifice [to idols, in spiritual unfaithfulness to Me].
8“Behind the door and the doorpost
You have set up your [pagan] symbol;
Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered yourself,
And have gone up and made your bed wide.
And you have made a [new] agreement for yourself with the adulterers,
You have loved their bed,
You have looked [with passion] on their manhood.
9“You have gone to the king [of a pagan land] with oil
And increased your perfumes;
You have sent your messengers a great distance
And made them go down to Sheol (the realm of the dead).
10“You were wearied by the length of your road,
Yet you did not say, ‘It is no use.’
You found renewed strength,
Therefore you did not grow weak.
11“About whom were you worried and fearful
That you lied and did not remember Me,
Nor give Me a thought?
Was I not silent even for a long time
And [as a result] you do not fear Me?
12“I will declare your [hypocritical] righteousness and your deeds,
But they will not benefit you.
13“When you cry out [for help], let your [ridiculous] collection of idols save you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A [mere] breath will take them.
But he who takes refuge in Me will possess the land [Judea]
And will inherit My holy mountain.”

Exodus 22:16 – 19
16“If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he must pay a dowry (marriage price) for her to be his wife. 17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must [still] pay money equivalent to the dowry of virgins.
18“You shall not allow a woman who practices sorcery to live.
19“Whoever lies with an animal must be put to death.

How to prepare for eternity:

If you are coming here, you are being called. Do not worry or be intimidated if you do not understand the bible. Gods Holy Spirit will open up your understanding as time goes on.😊

The good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ:

Accept Jesus as your LORD and savior, believe God sent his Son, Jesus, to save and redeem all of mankind. Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus died for our evil ways, sins, was crucified on the cross. Three days later he rose from death to life. Then as the book of Acts explains, Jesus appears to many before ascending back up to Heaven, with God, his Father, sitting at HIS right hand. This is the beginning of what you must do to be saved. (You will never hear this in church.) One must shift from living for me to living for thee. As you read His word, you will learn how to live God’s way and leave your evil life behind. YOU MUST BE COMMITTED TO JESUS, NOT ONLY IN BELIEF, BUT OBEDIENCE AS WELL.. PAY ATTENTION TO “AND”, WRITTEN MANY TIMES!!! Sure, you will make mistakes or fall back into sin. Its life here on earth. Living for God means acknowledging these mistakes before him, asking for forgiveness and moving forward from there. Read the book of John, this will show you who Jesus is. He/God will meet you right where you are and take your walk from there. Its not complicated or impossible. Read the following passages very carefully, it tells you everything you need to do. Then it becomes a daily walk of living God’s way. Your job from there is to share the good news of Jesus, to love above all else AND endure til the end. Remember, willful habitual sin is not following Jesus. That is a false religion. Hebrews 10:26-27 if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate], 27but a kind of awful and terrifying expectation of [divine] judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE and BURNING WRATH WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES [those who put themselves in opposition to God]. 1 John 3:99No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because [a]God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again–who is reborn from above–spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him.Romans 14:23 links faith/salvation to our own actions. 23But he who is uncertain [about eating a particular thing] is condemned if he eats, because he is not acting from faith. Whatever is not from faith is sin [whatever is done with doubt is sinful].
If you continue on in some sort of sin habit, ( swearing, drunk all the time, sex outside of marriage, porn etc ) you’re at risk of losing your salvation. Being saved goes way beyond accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior. You cannot do this and then go live like the rest of the world thinking that you’re going to heaven because you said a few words. you’re not. These seeker friendly churches will never tell you this nor many others as well. I have only heard this outside the church. THANK GOD FOR THAT PERSON!!!! Your soul is the most important real estate for Satan to steal. Only you can give it away. Even out of ignorance, can say you never rejected God? I bet anyone who’s reading this has rejected God at least once. I did a few times. He will come many times until you die. If you continue to reject him, you do not want to know what’s on the other side. I’m not God I can’t make the final decision only he can. All I can do is warn.

Amplified bible:

Read Acts chapter 2 (so you understand) the context:

Acts 2:22-42
’22“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man accredited and pointed out and attested to you by God with [the power to perform] miracles and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your [very] midst, just as you yourselves know– 23this Man, when handed over [to the Roman authorities] according to the predetermined decision and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross and put to death by the hands of lawless and godless men. 24But God raised Him up, releasing Him and bringing an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in death’s power. 25For David says of Him,‘I SAW THE LORD CONSTANTLY BEFORE ME;FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN [from my state of security].26‘THEREFORE MY HEART REJOICED AND MY TONGUE EXULTED EXCEEDINGLY;MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE [that is, will encamp in anticipation of the resurrection];27FOR YOU WILL NOT FORSAKE ME and ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES (the realm of the dead),NOR LET YOUR HOLY ONE UNDERGO DECAY [after death].28‘YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE;YOU WILL FILL ME [infusing my soul] WITH JOY WITH YOUR PRESENCE.’29“Brothers, I may confidently and freely say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30And so, being a prophet and knowing fully that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH THAT HE WOULD SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE, 31he foresaw and spoke [prophetically] of the resurrection of the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), that HE WAS NOT ABANDONED [in death] TO HADES (the realm of the dead), NOR DID His body UNDERGO DECAY. 32God raised this Jesus [bodily from the dead], and of that [fact] we are all witnesses. 33Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this [blessing] which you both see and hear. 34For David did not ascend into the heavens, yet he himself says,‘THE LORD [the Father] SAID TO MY LORD [the Son],“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,35UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET.”’ 36Therefore let all the house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt that God has made Him both Lord and Christ (Messiah, Anointed)–this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart [with remorse and anxiety], and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?” (WFA-NOTE: Anyone in UPC, in the 80’s, especially would know this. ( I left UPC in 91.) Anyway….v. 37 used to say, what must we do to be saved? Do I have witness out there? ) 38And Peter said to them, “Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is for you and your children and for all who are far away [including the Gentiles], as many as the Lord our God calls to Himself.” 40And Peter solemnly testified and continued to admonish and urge them with many more words, saying, “Be saved from this crooked and unjust generation!” 41So then, those who accepted his message were baptized; and on that day about 3,000 souls were added [to the body of believers]. 42They were continually and faithfully devoting themselves to the instruction of the apostles, and to fellowship, to eating meals together and to prayers.
