Apology to the Offended

from the book

Turn back Finland! Nations, Look and Hark! I

“And that very hour

He cured many of infirmities,

afflictions, and evil spirits;

and to many blind He gave sight.

Jesus answered and said to them,

"Go and tell John the things you have seen

and heard: that the blind see,

the lame walk,

the lepers are cleansed,

the deaf hear, the dead are raised,

the poor have the gospel preached to them.

And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

Luke 7:21-23 (NKJV)

 

When reading the Holy Word, you can see how many were offended by Jesus' call to repent from dead works as part of the invitation to receive the good news of grace and salvation. Nothing has changed in that regard. By nature, the human heart does not want to hear that not everything is permissible and that repentance is required for certain things. Just as in the time of Jesus' first coming, the necessity of repentance was proclaimed out of love for the salvation of souls, for it is written that Jesus said:

 

“Not everyone who says to Me,

'Lord, Lord,'

shall enter the kingdom of heaven,

but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Many will say to Me in that day,

'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,

cast out demons in Your name,

and done many wonders in Your name?'

And then I will declare to them,

'I never knew you;

depart from Me,

you who practice lawlessness!'”

Matthew 7: 21-23 (NKJV)

 

The issues highlighted in this message, which in the eyes of the Almighty require immediate correction, are also a matter of the Almighty's love for the nation and for individuals.

I am genuinely and sincerely sorry, and I apologize to those who may have felt offended by anything written thus far. I have not disrespected anyone’s human dignity or equality, but I have fulfilled my duty as a servant called by the Lord to speak about the state of the Finnish nation in the eyes of the God who granted this land to Finland. All of this should still fall within the boundaries of freedom of speech and freedom of religion in Finland, allowing the proclamation of the Holy Name and Holy Word of the God who granted Finland its independence. But this message has been sent by God as a test, and may it fulfill the purpose according to His will.

The message yields measurable results as the Almighty brings nations to judgment. If there are more readers offended by the writing than those who are not, it is a serious indication that, even in Finland, we have likely advanced to an irreversible state of national apostasy. If people are offended by the proclamation of the will of the God who granted us our independence, it is a grave consequence of the neglect or failure in teaching God’s Word over previous generations. However, I cannot leave anything unsaid after receiving this prophetic writing task, for our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has warned us about such a serious situation:

 

“Then His disciples came and said to Him,

 ‘Do You know that the Pharisees were offended

when they heard this saying?’But He answered and said,

‘Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted

will be uprooted. Let them alone.

They are blind leaders of the blind.

And if the blind leads the blind,

both will fall into a ditch.’”

Matthew 15:12-14 (NKJV)

 

For those less familiar with the Word, it should be noted that the previous verse is one of the gentlest rebukes the Lord directed at the ancient priesthood and scribes. The current state of our society that we see before our eyes is not a new phenomenon. As mentioned in the message YHWH Calls, from the perspective of the cyclical nature of God’s global plan of salvation, the activation of this phenomenon is merely a sign of the Lord's return drawing near. The teaching and spreading of things that go against the Word of God, even within the church, are warned about in numerous places in the Bible, with serious consequences both for those who do so and for society. In the 23rd chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus addresses the matter of blind guides in much harsher terms.

In accordance with the Lord’s urging, I encourage all readers and voters in various societal elections to read the Gospel of Matthew before the next elections, whether it involves choosing representatives for secular or spiritual leadership. Only by electing leaders who understand the significance of keeping the altars of the God who granted independence holy in His land can even the rights of minorities ultimately be upheld through freedom of religion according to the Lord’s will. It is difficult to envision any form of sexual interaction—created for human joy—thriving under the swords of judgment, which the Lord, in His wrath, will bring upon the land if necessary, as stated in His Word.

I thank the Creator that I still hear of many elders and congregants in Finnish churches who defend God's holy and unchanging Word. However, it is heartbreaking to witness how, in the land granted by the Almighty, there are efforts to silence them through fear, including accusations of discrimination, charges of incitement, and so on. All of Finland's recent events only painfully confirm that the nation's apostasy has advanced to the severe state where truth-tellers have become a terror to the system, and instead of being heard, they are silenced by various means, further accelerating the erosion of the foundations of independence, with the support of the nation's leadership.

Yet, there is still hope for preserving Finland’s independence and peace. However, it is not solely the responsibility of church elders to defend the God who granted us independence and His Holy Word. It is the duty of every believer and every patriot who loves their country!

“ Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,

And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel,

Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born,

That they may arise and declare them to their children,

That they may set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments”

(NKJV PS78:1-7)
