Dijaidé’s opening words:
Remember now what Jesus Christ, the-great-one-we-listen-to, said to us: “Now don’t pay any attention to those who call you crazy. They are the crazy ones, for they do not know Dupade who is our father. Truly, they are the ones without good sense.”
“Satan will try his best to overcome those of you who believe in me,” Jesus said. “If you only mention my name, he will revolt against you. But whoever is sure of what he knows, his faith will help him to reach the other side of this trial.” That’s what Jesus taught.
We should be grateful to Jesus Christ that we are not yet going through the things He told us about. We are not there yet. We no longer are interested in the things of this world, however. In fact, we have overcome the world. We belong to a different country now.
“People of this world are going to suffer,” Jesus said. “What we teach will be convicting to them and they won’t like us for it, but be strong. And remember how they hated the things I taught, as well.” Jesus Christ said: “And remember that I didn’t do anything wrong, but still they mistreated me. How much more will they mistreat you in the future.” Jesus Christ said: “But whoever goes through this with faith in Me, that one will be saved.”
Zacchias takes Jesus to his house:
We’re grateful to Dupade in these days, that we aren’t going through the things Jesus told about; we are not suffering for him. It isn’t because we are such good people that Dupade is protecting us from those things. Rather, Dupade’s words tells us that we are all sinful. We are all far from Dupade. Even though we’re all far from Him, we do rightfully belong to Him. Dupade who is Almighty possesses us all, but we hide from him, and we don’t appreciate how much he loves us. We claim to believe in him, but we all turn away from him at times. (I include myself. For I am a great big sinner!)
Take for example Zacchias, who we don’t know personally, except that he was a thief, and very sinful. Remember how Zacchias took The-great-one-we- listen-to, Jesus Christ, to his house, even though the people resented him for it. One of the people said, “How is it that people claim that Jesus in so good, but here he is eating with a sinful man.”
But Jesus heard their words and he explained what he was doing. He said: “I didn’t come down to this earth to look for people who were good and righteous! The ones I came to find are those who do bad things.” That’s what Jesus said to them. He went on explaining, “I’m looking for people on earth that are sinful. I’m seeking the sinners of this world.”
We should be so thankful that Jesus brought us to himself even while we were yet sinners. He even had a remedy ready. The remedy was his death.
We should remember every day how Jesus was quick to explain things to those he called ‘his disciples.’ This is because he is also our teacher and we are his disciples. And he is treating us as such, He explains everything we need to understand, as well. This is what he said, referring to his return, “I don’t even know when I will return, only my Father knows. But if you want me to, I will explain to you some of the things about my coming back again.” That is what he said to them.
Signs of Jesus’ coming:
And then he went on to tell about what would happen when he returned. He said: “There will be hunger all over this earth. You will hear about wars – the news of wars happening in different places. But don’t be frightened because of those wars. There will also be famines and earthquakes on earth at that time.”
And when we start to notice these things, they will be happening all over the earth. The whole earth will be involved.
And some of the things Jesus predicted have happened only recently. I don’t know which country it was that was destroyed but I think there were 3,000 people killed there in an earthquake, and when that happened, I quickly thought about the words Jesus spoke so long ago. And not only disasters like this, but we’re hearing about people at war all the time. The things Jesus told about are coming to pass.
But Jesus said: “Don’t let it frighten you. Because you have believed in me.”
It’s good for us to be looking for Jesus Christ’s return in these times. You know his arrival date has not been revealed. He told his disciples about this and he said: “I don’t even know the day of my arrival.”
But there’s more he told. This is what they say he said: “My arrival will only happen when all the Cojñone and the Tribal people have had a chance to believe in me; when, from your mouths, they have heard my words.”
And we must take note of the fact that Jesus will be coming soon when there are few Cojñone in the world who follow Dupade. This we know. We know it, but when someone has not yet believed in Dupade, he considers all of this as unimportant. But what we are teaching is the truth, and we haven’t changed any of what Jesus said. But we are following the words that Jesus Christ spoke to us.
Before Jesus comes the people of the world will act just like Noah’s countrymen did:
We must remember now that he said we would be like the countrymen of Noah. Jesus explained this, saying: “The people of Noah’s time stopped listening to his teachings. And they will stop listening to mine also and consider my teachings unimportant. They will forget all about my coming back again. They will have nothing more to do with me and will not put their trust in me at all.”
The day is coming when people all over the earth will only be concerned with the things of the world, and no longer seek the things of Dupade. They will not look for a savior. That’s because they love the things of this world. In fact, they’ll make idols out of the things of the world and worship them as though they were Dupade. But for us, it will be a time of great joy when Jesus comes back and finds that we have stopped loving the things of the world.
It’s good for us to believe in Jesus. I believe in Jesus more and more all the time, and I’m a true believer. Let’s no longer want the things of this world, that will show that we are sincere about our faith in Jesus.
Jesus wants us to trust Him completely and to love our fellow-ayoréos:
I don’t know if what I am teaching you is ugly to you. But it’s what Jesus said to us about becoming believers. He said, “Be strong. Even though your faith is small, it’s still good. It will be a very good thing in the future for the person who has put his faith in me and has loved his fellow-ayoréos.”
This is what Jesus counseled people to do. His counsel wasn’t only for the people then, but Jesus counsels us today, and his counsel is the same for all of us who are his disciples whatever our generation.
Therefore, right now let’s start loving each other. Let’s be like brothers and sisters in these times. Jesus did not lie to us about anything, so it’s a good thing to really believe what he has told us. A very good thing. Jesus is coming soon. Jesus’ arrival is approaching. Let’s not stop looking for him. Let’s not be weary as we wait for Jesus to arrive.
You know that the exact date of Jesus’ arrival isn’t known, but it’s soon. We know Dupade who is our father knows, but only he. He said that when the whole world has heard, then he’ll come. Therefore, let’s take the news of Jesus, and not stop telling about him.
Jesus will look for our names in his books?
Time will run out. It will be too late then for a person to say, “Jesus, I will believe in you right now, today. For you have now returned and I have seen you with my very own eyes.”
But Jesus will say to those of us who hadn’t believe in him: “I gave you plenty of time, and now there’s no more time left; I have looked for your name in the book, but I didn’t find it. I didn’t find your name at all – I didn’t find it anywhere.”
Let’s say I was that person. I’ll use myself as an example. If Jesus looked at the book and my name was not there, I would say to Him: “But I’ve taught people about you, I taught my fellow-ayoréos.”
Dupade would know me. He would know that I considered my good works to be my savior, and that I wasn’t depending on what Jesus Christ did when he sold himself for me.
Nothing else can save us – whether it be our good works, or our knowledge, or our prayers – only Jesus can save us. Dupade will open the door to his city to the one that considers Jesus his Savior, and who depends only on him for his salvation. If I pretend to be one of Jesus Christ’s believers, the one I am deceiving is myself if I’ve been lying about it.
But I’m not deceiving you. I am so thankful to Dupade that I truly believe in Jesus Christ, and that I’m not trying to deceive about my faith in Him. May you be truthful about your faith in Dupade and in Dupade’s Son Jesus Christ, and that you’re only trusting him to save you. That’s all.
