I have read through the Bible, Genesis to Revelation - twice.
I have read through various, often random books, often, regularly, daily.
Still confused often without a teacher, a guide. I am grateful for my few friends that I ask for clarity and guidance.
Now, end of times.... I disagree with some people close to me about where we are. I am not fatalistic. I am not sad.
I am reading and listening to the current news and putting them onto maps and into verse, and cannot believe we are far from the last second of the last minutes of the last hour of this storyline.
Watching Hamas and Israel. Is it cut and dry? AS I read the history of the world remembering EVERYTHING else I have learned, EVER, has been a lie.... I swirl a bit.
And I am really considering false prophets, false teachings, never wanting ever to be lead astray. Yet so many questions - Book of Essenes. Why is Enoch not in the Bible. Who was King James to interpret the bible.
And yet, I want to cover my eyes, my still-baby eyes... and stay with the WORD. Only.
THE LAST thing I want to hear, ever - is "I DID NOT KNOW YOU."
So with so many interpretations and edits, with so many challenges to the Truth, I lean in on trusted teachers and trusted friends - and even more, I am learning to sit and BE with the Holy Spirit and HEAR HIM.
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT MY BATTLES and WALK MY PATH.
