“These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.” John 16:1-4

The most interesting thing about this Scripture, is that Jesus wasn’t talking about being persecuted by unbelievers, but by those who believe: those of Faith, those who have told themselves they are servants of God.

And He warned that those so-called believers would rise up against His Disciples.

It’s intriguing when you have the full Revelation of this Message: for we live in a religious society where we’ve been conformed to believe that going into a building (Synagogue, Temple, Church) on a specific day, and following rituals (that are mostly pagan), is what we must do to give homage to a boxed-God.

But little do people truly realize, YHVH doesn’t live in a box, nor is He limited in His reach.

The universe is in the skirt of His Robe. He is Sovereign: bound to no time, creation, denomination, age, gender, nor thought.

For the foolish things of God confounds [confuses, startles, surprises] the wisest of men.

This was the message Jesus was giving: He has called us out of a box, a place where His statutes and commandments are no longer written on stone (or in a book), but upon (and within) our hearts.

Where now, the tabernacle resides in us, and everywhere we go, The Spirit of The LORD should be with us.

This is why Jesus said, “where two or more gather in MY name, there I will be.” (Matthew 18:20)

However, allowing the transformation of this revelation to take place in your life comes with a price: those in the ‘church’ will suddenly turn against you.

They will persecute and expel you, and even put you to death — and all of this will be done while they believe they are giving service to God (believing you are the enemy).

But Jesus said when this happens — to rejoice!

For great will be your reward in heaven, and to remember that they did the same to the prophets of old.

This is The Season of Ekklesia.
