The First and the Last, The Beginning and the End

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. (Genesis 1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and the world comprehended it not. 

Jesus told John on the Isle of Patmos that I am He who was there in the beginning. (Revelation 1) I am the First and I am the Last. 

Later being banished to the Isle of Patmos--earlier Jesus told John that you have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hate you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. (John 15)

To those who know the name of Jesus, and have walked away from their relationship with Christ have treated others as if they were trash. You have made every effort to denigrate, subjugate and dominate those who are not like yourself and then you quote the scripture God says to love your neighbor. God says to pray for your enemy. Aren't those that you have worked to destroy, your neighbor? Aren't those whose life you have repeatedly tried to denigrate, subjugate and dominate your enemies? Oh no, that's right--you don't see them as a human being. You are not satisfied until you run someone out of their home and have them living on the streets and eating out of trash cans. You are not free because you reject Christ, and pretend to do good while you deceptively and secretly conspire to destroy lives. After you have tortured and harassed your next door neighbor with electromagnetic, mind-control technology, stole their door keys, destroy their security camera, break into their computer, steal from them, enter their home illegally while they are at work, go through their stuff, leave trash in their home; work to give others the impression that they own you and your property--for close to 20 years--you think that they are dumb enough now, I will just move on in and pretend to be their "only" friend.

But Jesus forewarned us.....

Jesus said that we are counted as sheep for the slaughter but nay, in all of these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us and gave His life for us, that we may have life and life more abundantly. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, He also justified: and whom He justified, He also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. (Romans 8)

Before God formed thee in the belly He knew thee; and before thou came forth out of the womb He sanctified thee, and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1) For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. (Luke 12) Every hair on your head is numbered (Matthew 10) That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, of them which thou gave me have I lost none (John 18) for the first shall be last and the last shall be first (Matthew 19 & 20) and declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure, (Isaiah 46). So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13) Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 24)

This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24)

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Mathew 24)

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. (Matthew 20)

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
