Fathers, Young Men, and Little Children

1 John 2:13 KJVS
“I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.”

I believe John was writing prophetically to the fathers, who are the 232 final remnant from the 7000 Zadok, otherwise known as the church of Philadelphia. John was also writing to the young men who I believe to be the 144,000 which are the church of Smyrna, and John was also addressing the little children who are all those ( with freewill) out of the churches of Ephesus,  Pergamos,  Thyatira, Sardis, and the Laodiceans that will come out of Babylon which is to say Satans confusion during the Sixth Trumpet before the Seventh angel sounds.

These are the seven churches which are the seven candlesticks written in Revelation Chapters 1 through 3.

Let’s first take a look at these fathers that John was addressing.

In 1st Corinthians Chapter 4, Paul being one of the 7000 Zadok who was a chosen vessel (Acts Chapter 9:15) from the First World Age, has begotten many in the gospel during his time.

1 Corinthians 4:15-16 KJVS
“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus, I have begotten you through the gospel. [16] Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.”

As Paul was an instructor and a steward of the mysteries of God (Read 1st Corinthians Chapter 4 in a whole) so are the final remnant of the 7000 elect (232 of them from that number) that are brought forth during this Final Generation in which we are living in now.

Let’s look at these instructors in Daniel Chapter 11.

Daniel 11:33 KJVS
“And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.”

Here in Daniel Chapter 11 verse 33, we see they that understand among the people shall instruct many. This instruction of course has been happening since the fifth trumpet sounded in 1969 through the seed planting of the seals of God in which the final remnant of God’s elect (the church of Philadelphia) have been sowing. Five means grace in biblical numerics, and as we speak, we are in the grace period of sealing until the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet transpires.

Here in verse 33, we see another group, and this group will fall that is to say stumble by the sword, and the flame, by captivity, and by spoil many days. This group will make up the third of the world’s population, who are Christians, who at the time of the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet will fall into Satan’s darkness which again will come upon the world in the middle in of the five- month long hour of temptation when the sixth angel sounds.

Daniel 11:34 KJVS
“Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.”

They will be helped, and who is our help? ( Psalm Chapter 121).

During the sixth trumpet the 144,000 that are the church of Smyrna (who are predestined to come out of  Satan’s confusion) along with many out of the four churches ( Ephesus,  Sardis, Pergamos,  Thyatira,)  that are written in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, who are not predestined but have freewill,  will be helped out of Satan’s deception by what the Holy Spirit will say through the church of Philadelphia when they are delivered up first to Satan for a testimony.

It will be during the latter half of the five-month month long hour of temptation before the Seventh Trumpet sounds, the latter rain which is the chain reaction of Truth (beginning with the church of Philadelphia) will go forth throughout the land bringing many out of the deception of Satan and his fallen angles. After the Holy Spirits testimony goes through the church of Philadelphia and awakens the church of Smyrna and many of their own freewill out of the churches of Ephesus, Sardis, Thyatira, and Pergamos, many of them will be delivered up also so the Holy Spirit can utilize them for a testimony. Upon them being delivered up, the Holy Spirits testimony will bring many more, possibly many out of the church of the Laodiceans back into the light of Christ as well. This is the gold tried in fire that Jesus Christ councils the church of Laodiceans to buy of Him, in Revelation Chapter 3 verse 18.

Daniel 11:35 KJVS
“And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.”

Some of them with understanding here in verse 35 are the church of Smyrna (the 144,000) and when they fall and are helped by the Holy Spirits testimony spoken through the church of Philadelphia, they will be tried and purged and made white. We see this trial of the church of Smyrna written in Revelation Chapter 2 verses 8 through 11.

Revelation 2:8-11 KJVS
“And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write, these things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; [9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [10] Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. [11] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.”

The 144,000 are the young men that John was prophetically writing to in this 1st Epistle of John in Chapter 2.

1 John 2:14 KJVS
“I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.”

Indeed the 144,000 will be strong who are predestined to overcome.

These young men that will be strong through their trial, will overcome Satan only after the seeds of the seal of God, which have been planted in them prior to the beginning of the hour if temptation, come to fruition when the Holy Spirit sends forth the latter rain of Truth through those who instructed them.

Again, the fathers who John was speaking of are in the process (through seed planting) of instructing many especially the 144,000 during this grace period which began in 1969 when the fifth trumpet sounded in which the Woe of this Fifth Trumpet is being held back for that sealings completion.

We see this in regard of the sealing of the 144,000 in Revelation Chapter 7.

Revelation 7:1-8 KJVS
“And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. [2] And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. [4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. [5] Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. [6] Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. [7] Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. [8] Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.”

The four winds which represents the five-month long hour of temptation, and their release at the woe of the fifth trumpet are being held back at this time so the sealing of the 144,000 can be fulfilled.

John in this Epistle has written to these three groups who will be here on earth and will take part in the first resurrection with the rest of the 7000 Zadok (which will include Moses and Elijah after their prophecy, death and ascension back to the Lord are fulfilled, see Revelation Chapter 11 verses 7 through 12), who will return with Christ upon our true Christ return at the Seventh Trumpet.

Let’s back up a few verses in 1st Epistle of John Chapter 2 shall we?

1 John 2:8-11 KJVS
“Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. [9] He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. [10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. [11] But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”

At the woe of the sixth trumpet the third who will cease to be Christians ( for a time will Include the 144,000), will walk in Satan’s darkness and not abide in Gods light, and in return they will believe that which is evil to be good and what is good to be evil and will hate those who will abide in Gods light which is the church of Philadelphia. The third, including the 144,000 (the church of Smyrna) will have their part or you can say their hands (so to speak) in delivering up the church of Philadelphia (232 final remnant from the 7000) to death which is to say Satan (Mark Chapter 13 verses 9 through 13).

Again when the Holy Spirits testimony, that is the latter rain, speaks through the church of Philadelphia it will help the church of Smyrna (144,000) along many others with freewill out of the churches of Ephesus, Thyatira, Sardis and Pergamos who will hearken to the Holy Spirits testimony, out of Satan’s darkness (deception) and back into the light of Christ, thus causing many of them to be delivered up also so the Holy Spirit can utilize them in delivering (possibly) many out of the church of the Laodiceans away from Satan’s darkness and back into Christ light before the Seventh Angel sounds. For emphasis, this chain reaction of truth is the gold tried in fire that is written to the church of Laodiceans in Revelation Chapter 3 verse 18.

The darkness that will have been in these young men of Smyrna who are predestined to overcome and the darkness that will have been in many of these little children out of the remaining five churches, will be past, and the true light of Christ will shine in them going towards the Seventh Trumpet.

In closing as, we speak about light that will shine in that darkness during the Sixth Trumpet, we will go to the last three verses of Malachi Chapter 4 and read about two others who are light bearers and who will be here just prior and during most of that dark time of Satan’s deception.

Malachi 4:4 KJVS
“Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.”

You see Moses mentioned here and the law of Moses in which the Companions Bible on page 1301 points out in Exodus Chapter 20 verse 3.

Exodus 20:3 KJVS
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

This is the first comandment out of ten that God gave Moses in Horeb and we see what will transpire at the Sixth Trumpet when the third who are Christians turn to Satan believing he is the true Christ.
Also we may take note that in 1st John Chapter 2 where we see the Fathers,  Young Men, and Little children spoken of, the commandments of our Lord is also mentioned the same.

Malachi 4:5 KJVS
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

Here in Malichi Chapter 4 we see that Elijah will return before the day of the Lord.

If we look to Revelation Chapter 11 we see that the two witnesses who are most likely Moses and Elijah will be given power to prophesy just prior and during most of the latter half of the hour of temptation.

Revelation 11:1-4 KJVS
“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. [2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. [4] These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

It is my belief that Moses and Elijah will arrive Eight and a Half Days before Satan appears as the false Christ in Jerusalem at the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet.

Malachi 4:6 KJVS
“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”

Eight and half a Days before the sixth trumpet sounds Elijah with Moses will arrive. These two witnesses are the two anointed ones and are symbolic of the two olive trees eight and a half days prior to the sounding of the sixth trumpet, before becoming the two candlesticks during the sixth trumpet. We see these two olive trees spoken about in Zechariah Chapter 4, and they are the two who appeared with Christ on the mount of transfiguration in Matthew Chapter 17.

During those eight and a half days prior to the sixth trumpet, Elijah with Moses will turn the hearts of the fathers (church of Philadelphia) to the children and as the result of this preparation and the initial delivering up during the sixth trumpet with the Holy Spirits testimony, many will turn their hearts back to the ones they persecuted. Turning their hearts back to the truth which will sent forth through fathers to the young men, and to these little children that John who is an elder was prophetically writing to.

The end.
