Երբ մենք նայում ենք մեր շուրջը, we see that the world lies in darkness and death reigns as king in this world. The devil is gaining more and more territory, even in the lives of many Christians., who are supposed to be the light of this world. Wherever the light is shining the devil tries to enter and deceive, գողանալ, սպանել, եւ ոչնչացնել. Because that’s the mission of the devil, to extinguish the light of the church and make the earth without form and void again and let darkness and death reign on earth. And so the darkness extinguishes the light and what does the church do?
Աստված լույս է, և Նրա մեջ խավար չկա
Մեջ 1 Ջոն 1:15 it is written that God is light and in Him is no darkness. Առաջին բանը, that God created, when the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep, was the light. Աստված ասաց: «Թող լույս լինի” and there was light.
God divided the light from the darknes and called the light day and the darkness night (Ծննդոց 1:1-5). Այդ պահից, there wasn’t only darkness, but there was a difference between the light and the darkness.
The darkness that was present and the formlessness and voidness of the earth that was caused by the devil and his demons (ընկած հրեշտակներ), who were cast upon the earth after the battle in the garden. That’s what the devil had done to the earth, and that’s what the devil had done after God created the earth and all there is within perfectly, by seducing man, and that’s what the devil still does with the earth and everything that lives.
The children of the night
The devil is the god of this world and where he has established his kingdom, the darkness is present. Although Jesus is King and has taken բանալիները, իշխանությունը երկնքում և երկրի վրա, սատանայից, the devil still has the ability to steal, սպանել և ոչնչացնել.
The devil walks about as a roaring lion and seeks whom he may devour. Because his mission is to destroy every soul and steal the inheritance, which God has given in Jesus Christ to His saints. He tries to extinguish every single light that shines in the darkness of this world.
The devil tries to seduce and mislead as many people as possible with his lies. He keeps them ignorant about the truth and causes them to sleep and makes them children of the night.
That’s why the devil tries to keep the believers away from the Bible; the Word and ensure that they build their faith upon the words of men, who have mixed their own philosophies, opinions and carnal lusts and desires with God’s Word, and turned the truth of God into a lie.
Բոլորը, who is carnal and walks after the flesh and has the spirit of this world listens and believes what these քարոզիչներ of the world and the world have to say.
They belong to the world (խավարը), and are children of the world; children of the night.
Their spirit is dead and they don’t see what is truly happening around them. They are spiritually asleep and live in darkness and can’t stand the light. Հետեւաբար, they avoid every light that comes near.
Unless they hate their lives and are fed up with their sinful lives. Միայն այն ժամանակ, will they be drawn by the light that shines in the darkness.
Many people confess Jesus as Lord, միեւնույն ժամանակ, they obey the devil and walk in darkness
Many people confess Jesus as Lord while they behave and live like the world and are spiritually asleep. They feed themselves with the things of this world and are influenced and led by them. And so they are being led by the wisdom and knowledge of this world (գիտ), (հասարակական)լրատվամիջոց, իրավիճակներ, and all kinds of earthly things, which they perceive with their senses, and build their knowledge, իմաստություն, վարդապետություններ, and faith upon them, ճիշտ այնպես, ինչպես աշխարհը. (Կարդացեք նաև: Խոստովանո՞ւմ ես Հիսուսին, թե՞ ուրանում ես Հիսուսին մարդկանց առաջ?).
They think they are Christians and walk by հավատք. Բայց իրականում, they don’t listen to the Word and don’t walk according to what the Word says.
They’re not led by the Word and the Spirit, but they walk after the spirit of this world and are led by what science, (հասարակական)լրատվամիջոց, and scholars (the wise people of this world) ասենք.
They believe and act upon what the world advises and commands them to do and go to the world for help, instead of believing and doing what Jesus commanded them to do and going to Him for help. And that’s why many people, who say they are believers, belong to the world and are children of the night.
The devil uses many lies and tactics to seduce and mislead Christians and cause them to go astray. This way he extinguish their light, so that they won’t be a threat to his kingdom anymore.
The devil uses lies and all the temptations of the world, to ensure that people keep living in sin.
He uses distractions, խնդիրներ, իրավիճակներ, զվարճություն, եւ այլն, to keep people busy and distracted and focused on themselves and their circumstances, instead of being focused on Jesus Christ and establishing His Kingdom on earth.
As long as people remain carnal and are not willing to lay down the flesh, the devil shall succeed in making sure, that they stay focused on themselves and feed themselves with the things of this world, so that they won’t be a threat to his kingdom anymore.
Because the more people feed themselves with the things of this world, the more darkness they become. They shall abide in sin; մեջ Աստծուն անհնազանդություն և Նրա կամքը.
That’s why it’s important to stay in Jesus Christ; the Word and keep walking according to His will. Even if that means rejection and persecution from the world. Because the darkness will always try to extinguish every light, so that people can live in sin without resistance and condemnation, just like in the days of Noah.
The children of the day
If you believe in Jesus Christ and belong to Him through վերածնում և մնա Նրա մեջ, you belong to the day and be the light of the world. Jesus is the Light of the world and everyone, who belongs to Him and stays in Him has become the light of the world.
Հետեւաբար, as long as you stay in Christ and live after His will, which is also God’s will, you shall be the light on this earth.
Հիսուսն ասում է: Դուք աշխարհի լույսն եք. Բլրի վրա դրված քաղաքը չի կարող թաքնվել. Տղամարդիկ նույնպես մոմ չեն վառում, և դրեց այն բուշելի տակ, բայց մոմակալի վրա; և այն լույս է տալիս բոլոր նրանց, ովքեր տանը են. Թող ձեր լույսը այնպես փայլի մարդկանց առաջ, որ տեսնեն քո բարի գործերը, և փառավորե՛ք ձեր Հորը, որ երկնքում է (Մեթյու 5:14:16)
As long as you stay in the Աստծո կամքը and do good works, you shall exalt and glorify your Father, who is in heaven, and your light shall shine before people.
Some people shall be drawn by the light and when you witness, they shall believe in Jesus Christ and be reconciled through Christ with the Father. And some people shall hate the light and reject you and not want to have anything to do with you because you testify about their evil works.
If the latter one happens, then don’t be sad, but rejoice. Որովհետև Աստվածաշունչն ասում է, that because of the Name of Jesus, you shall suffer reproach and shall be persecuted and rejected by the world. (Կարդացեք նաև: Տառապանք Տիրոջ անվան համար).
And since the spirit of this world is present in many churches, you may also be persecuted by the church and maybe even denied access. This happened with Jesus, so this shall surely happen with Նրա հետևորդները, who represent Him.
What does the Bible say about Jesus’ Վերադարձ?
The Bible says that Jesus’ return shall come as a Thief in the night. Հետեւաբար, երբ Հիսուսը վերադառնա, it shall be during the night. There shall be (հոգեվոր) darkness upon the earth. (այսինքն.: Եսայիա 13:9-10; 24:23, Եփեսացիներ 32:7-8, Ջոել 2:10,11,31; 3:15, Զաչարիա 14:6-7, Մեթյու 24:29, Գործք 2:20)
Գիշերվա ընթացքում, when no one expects it, Jesus shall return. Only the children of the day, who belong to the Light and who are spiritually awake, shall see the signs of His coming and be ready to meet Jesus.
But of the times and the seasons, եղբայրներ, ye have no need that I write unto you. Որովհետև դուք լավ գիտեք, որ Տիրոջ օրը գալիս է այնպես, ինչպես գիշերը գողը. Որովհետև երբ ասեն, Խաղաղություն և անվտանգություն; ապա հանկարծակի կործանում է գալիս նրանց վրա, ինչպես հղի կնոջ ծննդաբերությունը; և նրանք չեն փախչի. Բայց դուք, եղբայրներ, խավարի մեջ չեն, that day should overtake you as a thief. Դուք բոլորդ լույսի զավակներ եք, և օրվա երեխաները: մենք գիշերը չենք, ոչ էլ խավարի. Ուստի եկեք չքնենք, ինչպես մյուսները; բայց եկեք հսկենք և սթափ լինենք. For they that sleep in the night; իսկ հարբածները գիշերը հարբած են. Բայց թող մեզ, ովքեր են օրվա, սթափ լինել, հագնելով հավատքի և սիրո զրահը; և սաղավարտի համար, փրկության հույսը. Որովհետև Աստված մեզ չի նշանակել բարկության, այլ մեր Տէր Յիսուս Քրիստոսով փրկութիւն ստանալու համար, Ով մեռավ մեզ համար, որ, անկախ նրանից, թե մենք արթնանում ենք, թե քնում, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Թեսաղոնիկեցիներ 5:1-11
The Saviour of the world
The earth decays and the filthiness and darkness increase. Մեր շուրջբոլորը, we see a blurring of moral standards and values. The laws, which are largely based on the Bible (Աստծո Խոսքը), are adjusted to the spirit of this world; նեռի ոգին, who reigns in the children of disobedience; the children of the darkness, who belong to the night.
This also happens in many churches, where the wisdom of God and His Word are defiled and mixed with the wisdom, գիտելիք, and opinion of carnal men and the world, that carries the spirit of the antichrist.
It is one big chaos, and no one seems to have a solution. Նույնիսկ հակաքրիստոսը, who shall arise, when all hope is gone and when there seems to be no way out.
The Antichrist shall arise from the people and shall pretend that he is able to find a way out of the mess. The world shall consider the antichrist as the savior of the world. Բայց իրականում, this person shall be inspired and led by the devil and the kingdom of darkness and shall only make things worse.
The only Saviour, who is able to make a change, Հիսուս Քրիստոսն է. In the lives of people, where Jesus Christ is being received, the darkness will flee and the life, լույս, and peace will be restored.
Հոր միակ ճանապարհը Հիսուս Քրիստոսի միջոցով է. He is the only Way, ճշմարտությունը, Կյանքը, and the Light.
Every soul, who is being drawn out of the darkness and reconciled with the Father through Jesus Christ, shall belong to the Life and the Light instead of death and the darkness and shall be a child of the day instead of a child of the night.
Որովհետև դու երբեմն խավար էիր, բայց հիմա դուք լոյս էք Տէրոջմով: քայլեք որպես լույսի զավակներ: (Որովհետև Հոգու պտուղը ամենայն բարության, արդարության և ճշմարտության մեջ է;) Ապացուցելով, թե ինչն է ընդունելի Տիրոջը. (Եփեսացիներ 5:8-10)
Բայց դու ընտրյալ սերունդ ես, թագավորական քահանայություն, սուրբ ժողովուրդ, յուրահատուկ մարդիկ; that you should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Որոնք անցյալում ժողովուրդ չէին, բայց այժմ Աստծո ժողովուրդն է: որը ողորմություն չէր ստացել, բայց հիմա ողորմություն գտաք. (1 Պետրոս 2:9-10)
Don’t let the darkness extinguishes the light, but keep your light shining
Ահա թե ինչու, it’s so important to stay and abide in Him, be awake and watch and դիմադրել գայթակղություններին of the devil and have no fellowship with the works of darkness.
Don’t try to become a friend of the world, nor adapt and apply the wisdom, գիտելիք, and theories of the world in your life, because that’s not your assignment. Եթե դուք դա անեք, then you are already fallen into the trap of the devil and are seduced and misled by his lies. Որովհետև Աստված ասում է, that the wisdom and knowledge of this world is foolishness to Him.
Don’t be focused upon yourself and your own kingdom, but stay focused on Jesus Christ and the things of the Kingdom of God.
Մնացեք Նրա մեջ, so that you will do good works through Him. Stay the light of this world, so that you win many souls for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. Tthat you draw many souls out of the lies of the devil and the power of darkness.
Where the light shines, darkness must flee. Հետեւաբար, make sure that your light keeps shining in this dark world, and don’t let the darkness extinguish your light.
