Matt 12:2@ And if I cast out demons 'y Beel5e'u', 'y whom do your sons cast them
out6 -herefore they shall 'e your 4udges!

Matt 11:= "&hoever causes one of these little ones who 'elieve in 1e to sin, it would
'e 'etter for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in
the depth of the sea!

owed him ten thousand talents!
2dam sinned, >!iginal sin$ Thus, besto"ed a debt fo! all mankind to be
&aid and that debt "as ou! souls in .ell !eei#ed th!ough death$
Matt 11:2+ But as he was not a'le to pay, his master commanded that he 'e sold,
with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment 'e made!
Satan !e4ui!es blood and demanded all mankind as &ayment fo! sin$
Matt 11:2= -he servant therefore fell down 'efore him, saying, %1aster, have patience
with me, and I will pay you all!%
Matt 11:2@ -hen the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released
him, and forgave him the de't!
Matt 11:21 "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed
him a hundred denarii( and he laid hands on him and took him 'y the throat, saying,
%)ay me what you owe!%
Matt 11:29 .o his fellow servant fell down at his feet and 'egged him, saying, %Have

7 Cidn;t 9h!ist &!eah to those in &!ison befo!e he !ose3 Sin and death had
not been "on yet$
Matt 11:31 .o when his fellow servants saw what had 'een done, they were very

I forgave you all that de't 'ecause you 'egged me!
Matt 11:33 .hould you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, 4ust as I

A &ord from our 2ord
I beg you to seek what I am saying, take heed, for the days of the end are upon you.
Those who listen and obey, will not only overcome th world and walk in power and
glory in Christ but will also be protected on the ay of !engence. Take heed Israel,
my hand is upon you, I will bring every earthly king and nation against you until you
repent. "ou peicred my #on, and you will weep for yours. The world will cry out, the
rocks will cry out, the skies will befall their stars, the sun will hide its life giving light
from you. The edges of the earth crusts will be shaken to its core and every bird
from the sky will fall. o not run or hide, there is nowhere you can go and no where
you can hide from my face. I will seek you out of every crack and hole in this earth.
#tand when I say #tand, $ee only when I say $ee, do not seek to save your life or I
will take it away. %ife is waiting for you my little children, hold my hand in this dark
hour and when you come into my light, you will see me in my glory and I will
embrace you and you will know that I am your %ord &od. #aleh
