To my beloved children in the east, this word is for you.
Know that I have not forgotten you. I see your toil and your struggle. I see your great poverty, and your lack of security. I am aware of all of you that have not denied my name, even when you are thrown into prison and suffer terrible things, even unto death.
The enemy has made many to be widows and orphans. While you may lack good things in this life, know that you will never lack any good thing in my kingdom. My little children, I ask of you a hard thing. I ask you to hold on, just for a little while longer. Hold on, and cast all your care onto me. Surely I have already bore your pains, and carried your sorrows. Do not carry them anymore by yourself. This is why I came in the first time, and soon I shall come a second.
For those of you that have been chosen to pay the ultimate price, know that I have given you a great gift. You are my shining jewels, my set apart ones. The blood of the martyrs is what speeds my return. You are to be my brilliant jewels, that will shine in the firmament forever. How hard your road seems to be! Yet how glorious your reward to come!
While my eastern bride leads the way in devotion, in tribulation, and in humility, yet I have a few things to say unto you.
Too many of you have grown cold in your daily walk with me. You have replaced relationship with ritual. Your churches of old have become hardened in their ways. You neglect, and even refuse, all attempts of the Spirit to restore and renew your faith. Stop worshipping your ritual. Worship God only, or you shall not recognize the day of your visitation. When the enemy comes for you, how shall you stand, unless you are immersed in the fount of living waters? Repent, lest I snuff the little light that remains.
As you consider your western brethren, do not be envious of his material wealth. Do not sigh and cry, wishing that their blessings were yours. I tell you a truth, their blessing has become their curse. Their riches have become their poverty. Their wisdom has become their doom.
So rejoice in your poverty. Rejoice in your lack. All these things of this world serve as a snare and a trap to the unwary. Have you little food? Fear not. Shall I not provide for my own? I have a path for you. One of simplicity, one of joy. While few may know your name on earth, know that the names of the faithful are well known in heaven. Remain faithful to the end, and your reward will be great. Continue to carry your cross, and you shall never regret it for all of eternity.
Be at peace. After you have suffered a little while, the God of all peace shall come and take you away to your true home that is being prepared for you, even as we speak.
