"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. ..."
Yet, it seems some will continue to
misunderstand the role of the messenger of the LORD, which was to go before His 2nd Advent, even as others did also of the messengers before her in their own times...
...scripture itself declares God would gift the church with prophets/messengers, and the spirit of prophecy which is the

And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for
they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 1 Samuel 8:7

As much as the church needed the prophets of Jesus in the days of Paul, Barnabas, Luke, Peter, John, etc [like Agabus [Acts 11:28, 21:10], Phillips 4 daughters [Acts 21:9], the prophets which came from Jerusalem to Antioch [Acts 11:27, 13:1], Judas and Silas [Acts 15:32] etc], and as it was in the days of Moses, which wrote the testimonies to the church in the wilderness then, and died before entering the promised land, and received a special resurrection, and as John the Baptist preached the first Advent, so too we have such a messenger of the Lord, which has written testimonies for the remnant in the wilderness of this world, died before entering the promised land, who will receive a special resurrection, and preached the 2nd Advent of Jesus... [1 Corinthians 12:28, 14:29,32; Ephesians 3:5, 4:11]

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6
...therefore, as stated I cannot let go of Christ Jesus... it seems others will not take hold of Him, nor His testimony...
...but rather they would cling to their Bacchus...
