I love this message! I’ve been called a “CEO” (Christmas and Easter Only) by a friend at church several years ago. I actually stopped going to my church because of the judgmental and critical people who went there. I still talk to God all the time, maybe even more than I ever did when I did go to church. I told my daughter that I talk to God or Jesus more than I talk to any human. Anyway, just wanted to say that this video is great and really resonates with me. Thanks John. I always love your messages and have since day one. Happy and healthy New Year to you and your son. Many blessings too. ❤❤❤
Seminary-trained ordained minister here. This judgmental attitude is a big reason why people don’t attend church. Not all churches teach people to be that way. I’m sorry it happened to you. My denomination does not teach fear and judgment. We teach what John is saying here. Love one another, help others, help the needy, and so on. Best wishes to you!
@@Suzicherie7777And which is your denomination? I know, there are loving and caring church communities out there, and I enjoy being part of such a community. We don't care whether somebody is make or female and whom they might love. Love is the superior commandment! ❤
Coming back to Orthodox Church I was expecting hatred and judgement to ( since I as a 6 foot man with long hair past his knees I stick out like a sore thumb ) but all I received was love and respect. People seem to forget that we the people are “the church”. A church is just a nice building. Like it says in the Gospel of Thomas which John quotes here that “Kingdom of Heaven is inside you, and is all around you…”. We are the church Orthodoxy’s main objective is “Theosis”, to literally become God on earth. Not as in I’ll spiritually advance to a state where when I pass wind and accidentally create a solar system lol, but to replace all the negative human traits that make humans flawed and fallible with the “DIVINE LOVE” God is. Essentially what John’s message is about When Jeshua quoted the Psalms saying “Ye are Gods” and “Greater works than I ye shall do” like John talks about, HE WASN’T LYING!!! We take him for his word Wishing you and yours all the love for 2024 🌺🌺🌺
Vain are the teachings that make people miserable, and false is the “goodness” that leads them into sorrow and despair, for it’s our purpose to be happy on this earth. Khalil Gibran
I’m on a journey to find myself after the death of my husband of 42 years. I’m worked ng on not judging and I’ve come to realize how much I do judge. It’s amazing. Thank you for this video peace love 💙
I got to meet Master Jesus once to ask him about some of my practices, He said as long as I was coming from a place of LOVE it didn't matter what I did
This is 100% correct. I was a Jehovahs Witness for 33 years and I can say from experience they are one of the most judgmental "Christian" groups out there. They are not acting out of love as they shun their own family members for thinking differently. Love is the ONLY way! ❤
I asked my guides and angels once to help me know the right path I should be on in life, and was given such a simple answer instantly: "Love is all there is." It meant live life lovingly, and I am on the right path. It felt so loving in itself, as it forgave everything that made me feel I was not enough. The answers about life to me are simple, and your messages are the same, they always ring so true. I came to find out my mother also came to the same conclusions, though raised with religion. Love is all there is. Thank you so much John, blessings and love to you ❤
Exactly. Love is all there is. Conflicts within and in our world can dissolve in the presence of LOVE. First, love for myself, then love without judgment for others.
I asked my angels and guides this too, at a time when I was feeling very demoralised through chronic illness…..I heard the instant answer “you are worth it, because I am worth it, and we are all connected”. I can’t tell you how profound that message was to me, it is now my mantra xx
I retired from a church musician career, walked out the door, and have not gone to a service since. I make cards for a bereavement ministry, but don’t go to church. The bonus is that my prayer life has increased dramatically. Thank you for the homily today.
Very thought provoking. I'm thankful for the church as it was the initial catalyst for spiritual growth. Now, that growth leads in a different direction and I'm much happier!
I have been noticing that decline for a few years. My first observation was church has to change the way they do church. After experiencing my own discovery that God is. God is everywhere. God is spirit, a force, Energy. God is LOVE. And love always love. No judgment. I then realized that the Christianity is another religion that misrepresented God, unaware of the divinity of all mankind and we are all ONE. I too concluded that the idea of the religious organization called CHURCH is dying. Many are awakening to discover the simplicity of spirituality, the power of Love and our divinity. I AM. ❤ Thank you. John for your candid sharing on this topic of the real end of the world. 😊
Didn't even need to hear this all the way through to know this is not end times for all, just a ending to a new beginning - no more of these organized religions - no more controlling governments. We unite and become "one race - the human race". just my belief
Rings true John. Left “the church” years ago. Never left God. My daughter’s and I hadn’t attended in like three years and I got a call one day…the lady said we see that you haven’t attended in quite some time (I hadn’t tithed is what was bothering them I think). I said yes that’s right. She literally said “well, not to be mean, but we’re going to take you off our mailing list”. 😂😂😂😂. “Well, not to be mean” is usually followed by the mean thing they are doing lol. I couldn’t believe she actually said that. And I also didn’t lose any sleep over not being on the mailing list. And they wonder why people are leaving…🤦♀️
Thank you dear John, for bringing the words of your beloved friend Jeshua to light again in this lifetime. We are so blessed to have His messages brought forth here now. Let’s all break out in song for the new year! - What the world needs now is love sweet love ………..❤️ 🎉❤😂❤🎆💕🎈🤗♥️
I haven’t written for a while but your message was so true to me. While I was listening to you with my earbuds, my husband asked if I wanted to go to church with him tomorrow. This is a Church of Christ and I grew up Catholic. In the past 4 years, I have no desire to go to any church. There is such hypocrisy I have felt and no true love toward each other. Oh they are happy to see you to fill their pews but beyond that I feel a void. Nothing against people’s religion or churches, but my church is what I can give to others through love and caring. So I told my husband no. Nothing to do with him but that I get nothing out of church anymore so I have no desire to go. Thank you for your message because it spoke to me so profoundly.
Your idea that the church is fading away sounds like a blessing to me, based on what we know about the harm that often comes with it. I've heard it said that only Love is "Real" -- everything else will come and go ... come and go ... we're playing in a Universal sandbox. 😊 So since we're here for a time, let's make it enjoyable, peaceful, loving, kind, and all the rest of what we truly desire. All the dogmas, rules, regulations are not allowing our higher nature to shine through with the Love that we are. I agree with you, John. Let the church fade away. Let there be peace on Earth. 🙏
Thank you for all your insights. I am sad that there is so much truth in what you are saying. My church is a wonderful, loving place - not a perfect place, but what I think Jesus would want from a loving community. I don't think we need to be part of a church to be open and loving to all, but we are able to have a bigger, loving impact together. Every month since 1983, we go to soup kitchen and cook over 100 meals, I could never do this by myself. Being part of a loving and open church can be wonderful, again like you say John, it's family and that isn't always perfect, but you just send them love! Thank you for all your great insights!❤Sibylle
It’s simply about fear and control. Oh yes, donations. You don’t need intermediaries, we are always connected to the Source. We come from the Source, we are forever connected to the Source, and we go home to our true home, back to the Source. Blessed Be ❤
BROTHER JOHN!!! I’m so elated that I finally get to write and subscribe to you since I’ve been enjoying your videos for quite some time I most recently went through a spiritual crisis ( what could be perceived as a “dark night of the soul” if you will ) and your message has helped me immensely. So much so it actually, contrary to the theme of this video, has brought me back to the Orthodox Church ( which I grew up in ) It’s universal message of “LOVE” as opposed to the “fear” of other religions is inspiring me so much that I’m even thinking about attending a seminary lol Wishing you and yours all the love and happiness in 2024 Peace - Zoki
Blessings to you on what you had brought up about the end times that mostly had been noticing on those religious fanatics on social media about claiming that we're in the end times mostly fear based and also that religion is going down that more on control by beliefs and had not attended church in a long time myself.
Nice to hear. Agree. So, as I listened, I had a thought that often comes up in this context. What becomes of the nurturing "church"? That is, Father Mackey was a family friend, founder of our local Catholic college, and my mother's confessor. I also saw him at Sufi Dancing and he volunteered at a drug addiction treatment center. He was an intellectual, sweet, kind, and drank cocktails at my parents' parties. He would have come to my mother's death bed, but he said that he, himself, was dying. The church supported him all his adult life and allowed him to do good works full time. Then there were the sisters who lived on a homestead or convent in the countryside near here who taught people to garden, set up water catchment systems, grow perennial vegetables from the Americas, learned Spanish to be able to minister to those who didn't know English, and were all around bad asses. The church supported them, except I think only by their being part of an establishment of people who took oaths they honored. The church does have such structures that can magnify their good works and prayers. Their commitment to each other to serve society has made great improvements over the centuries. But they often had to struggle against the church itself. So it's not like we need to authority of the church and centralized power. It gets in the way. So what, then? Do you have any ideas about this, John?
Love is found everywhere not just in Christian churches. But mosques, temples, shrines, parties, movies, the words of a child. The issue with religion is the concept that their way is the only way. This creates division from God and the troubles of the world.
Right on point again John. End of times especially in Revelation sets a path to spirituality and contradicts what religion has coerced mankind to believe through fear. If the church knew its true meaning, it would have been discarded from the beginning. I know you believe it's a warning about Nero, but it's so much simpler than that. People and theologists have been misinterpreting it from the beginning. Keep it up, you're doing great work. Brent
Churches were a sanctuary for me when I was growing up. I've been to inclusive services. I think the church is changing towards a less rigid belief. This isn't original but helps me as I travel my path. God is love. If it's not love, it's not God. God has many names.
I love how you are able to make everything so relatable . Your wisdom really meets me where I am, so much wisdom in a simple package . You are a wonderful soul keep doing what you’re doing .
GREETINGS JOHN THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR EVERY VIDEO ALL YOUR LOVE AFFORDED TO ME/US ALL. WOW, I ALWAYS FEEL SO HAPPY SO GROUNDED SO ALIVE MY FEAR SUBSIDES MY GUILT FOR DROPPING MY OLD IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC DOGMA. I EVEN FELT GUILTY FOR BEING HAPPY ABOUT NOT BEING RC I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AROUND RELIGION I NEVER FELT OKAY IN MY SKIN I WAS ALWAYS SCARED OF FATHER UP THERE IN THE SKY. NOW WHEN I HEAR YOUR MESSAGES I FEEL JOY PEACE YOUR TEACHINGS ARE KINDNESS LOVE EACH OTHER . THANK YOU JOHN
Agreed! Came to this mud-way through seminary. Lol. Now serve as a hospice chaplain where I can affirm each person's divinity in ways that hold meaning for them, whether it be through an experience, nature, rituals, prayers, or just by virtue of being born. Comfort, comfort ye my people -- and we are all God's people.
A few years ago i asked God to show me what was going on with the church, i was given a vision. I was on a beach, in the distance was a large pier that looked like a worn-out relic. Then an image of Jesus appeared at my right headed for this pier holding an axe, his intent was to bring it down. As he approached it the size of the pier became more clear, it was IMMENSELY large, and i understood intuitively it represented an outdated view (orthodoxy) that was going to be brought down by the truth of Jesus. Jesus told me he nothing but compassion for his people in this process, because so much of what has been held sacred will be changing and they will be having a hard time with this. I am taking steps to maybe help with this since i believe what i have learned over the years might be able to help people make the transition from the old way to the new. Peace.
Love is all we need you said when you saw jesua his love drew you to him instantly and you followed him jesua loved everyone no matter what.He went to die on the cross so we could learn that that's all that matters . The temple of the living god is in us he's in everyone that's my truth
Very pleased that you made this video. So many friends and family take offense when this topic comes up. People do need to hear this and do their own research. We have been so brainwashed. Many have not found themselves or know how to truly connect to our universe/source. The future will be beautiful. Folks will rejoice quietly and smile!! Love your videos and appreciate the time you invest and the heartfelt explanations.
Thank you for this wonderful, loving, joyful message. Fear has no place in religion or the world. One of the greatest challenges of being human is to overcome fear, not to encourage it. If Jesus taught nothing else, it was how to love everyone, even those who elected to kill him. My own understanding of God is that they are absolute love, without exception or opposition. In that spirit realm, hate and fear simply do not exist. Earth is one place in the universe where the contrast between love and hate, peace and fear, is possible. Understanding that contrast is one way we can appreciate the love of God in a very concrete way.
I heard the question the other day : " If there was one thing you would like to see removed from the world, what would it be ? " One woman said, the atomic bomb, I say ALL religions.
Your truth resonates with me. Sometimes however I play devil's advocate just to understand more deeply. So I have to ask, did Jesus really want us to be self sufficient in our relationship with God (no big churches are necessary) , we need no one to pray for us, we have the power to obtain all we need, etc. or did He envision small groups supporting and sharing with each other. ( small "churches: are encouraged)" I'm thinking of the quote "where ever two or more are gathered..."
It's a rather funny one this one. I mean back in the mid-1980s I went to school with this kid who was convinced the world was going to end every day because he'd been reading about Nostradamus. Also, people have been warning about the end of times for centuries. Don't think anyone has gotten it right yet.
Excellent!! I especially enjoyed the Easter Christmas Catholic!!😂 In my life I have been told a few times by catholics that I can't accept communion simply because I hadn't attended Catacism. I proudly let them know that I am the child of the g e highest God and if I choose to drink the blood of Christ eat the bread etc, then I will Controlled religion is a mess!!❤
The generation my Granddaughter is a part of are even turning away from materialism also. I am so excited for the youth. She says that her generation is never going to live with beliefs of time even before the Dark Ages. They think it is ridiculous. My Dad called them the goody goody meanies meanies. Sad
❤ John, yes 💯 percent agree with you. However I do visit church buildings as I always like to give thanks to those poor people who were in some cases, enslaved to build them.
Thank you for this awesome message. Like you stated the End Times should have come several times. I listened to a channel and she stated Jesus has been here many, many times. So when people say what would Jesus think about what is going on in the World today? I would like to hear what you think about the thought Jesus has been here many, many times. I think he continues to come in and out I lived thru the financial crisis of the 70's and 80's. The financial problems of 2008 and 2009, and wars. WE made it thru those times and I believe we'll make it thru these times as well, without all hell breaking loose.
The prophecies are about redemption. The new covenant is described on Jeremiah 31. “ I will write my laws in their hearts and no one will have to say “know the lord” because they will all know me. “ The Bible itself says God does away with organized religion. That’s manifesting now.
Hi John, when i wrote i am seeing a prophacy in the words “ This rage that lasts a thousand years. Will soon be done.” (Queen, a kind of magic), you answered that you don’t believe in prophacy. But in this video you shows your believe about the future of this world. I am convinced that the song of Queen is about exact the same thing as your (and mine) believe. But i also believe that there still will be a kind christian community. Not based on rules, fear and jugdement, but based on real love and real knowing.
How many “the end of times”,is there.?.It’s seems like some who are full on Doreen type of religious want the end to come.So what does this tell of these people who want the end to it all.!.They in their own fear want all to fear.This spills into blame and then hate.So is it hate they really want.As in “you don’t believe in what I do..So therefore I can point,blame and hate you”.?..Sometimes you got to stop,look where your going and really weigh up what and where it’s going…As with Jon I believe God is love and in pure love there must be forgiveness.So I believe in “all you need is love”(think some fella’s sung that in a song once😉)..Keep love above all.. Thanks for a great video on this and all the very best..❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
I will send positive intentions your way. But no prayer can help you if you don't believe that you are receiving healing in the present moment your statement declares I am so sick and I am desperate God's name as I am. And what you declared in the name of God is what you receive. And so how about flipping your script and saying "thank you God for the perfect health I am receiving?" Then put faith in that statement and watch as your life changes.
It's interesting that you would bring up Catholics that only go to Christmas and/or Easter Mass because they don't like the rest of it. Pope John Paul called Catholics in the U.S. "drug store Catholics." What he meant is that we, I am a Catholic convert, take what we like in Catholicism and then disregard what we don't like, such as not being able to use birth control, etc.
Alright, my main issue: I’ve struggled to replace the ritualness and connectivity in my life - my family and children. Do we make our own? It doesn’t make sense to me to show up and do these things at institutions that I don’t align with anymore. But, they do have a community. I consider 2023 to be a year of spiritual awakening for me, and for what it’s worth, I find myself landing on panentheism - God is in everything. I see aspects of this ideology everywhere, but not really an actual community.
I think our current definition of "church" is changing, i dont think chruches are going away. Technically, this youtube channel could be considered a church. Where as your channel is the temple and we are publically worshiping our religious beliefs which are love. I often find myself coming here to lift myself spiritually. The ideas and things you talk about help me to reconnect internally. So to me, love is my religion and your channel is one of my churches.
I never had any particular loyalty to any denomination.. just Yeshua. I was raised in the methodist denomination.. but by the time I was old enough to go to confirmation classes I'd already begun to question the 'church'. I sat in the class challenging the pastor with a simple question: "If Jesus told us to do this.. why don't we?" He never had an answer. Often he just sputtered a few words.. and would say, "I don't know." He was struggling himself apparently. Over the years my husband and I have encountered ministers who .. led their church in the practice of 'shunning' .. who prayed for the salvation of satan and wanted others to join them .. who led congregations that, to a person, couldn't recall a new member's name EVER .. and finally a congregation who had abandoned the hymnals collecting dust in their pews for the extremely shallow 'contemporary' music that forces you to repeat every line at least 10x.. That pastor stood up and announced that if you didn't like that music you should just leave and not come back. So we didn't. It physically gave us migraines. First time I've ever experienced anything like that. I found out later that across our city people were having that very same reaction, writing to the papers, posting on media.. To the point that churches were starting to advertise that they had separate services for people who had that problem! I feel it's like that bit in the Bible where God calls to His people, "Come out of her My People." My brother holds a masters in Theology from the conservative Presbyterian Reform denomination. And holds an undergraduate degree in music.. He struggles with this issue too. The excuses for abandoning almost every teaching of Yeshua is becoming so obvious. I took Hebrew in college and kept digging from there.. going into the various branches of Judaism .. the early Mennonite churches.. The modern Christianity is so confused it simply makes following Yeshua impossible. Home churches seem to work the best over all.. but even there people can go off the rails into cult-land. The Age of the Revealing is a challenge of Discernment in every area of Life.
I feel the big money making churches will disappear the ones that feed the hungry and clothe the poor will stand because they're actions are from the heart
Luke 22;10 . I heard an interesting translation We are now in the house of pieces also known as the house of religion. Each house is said to be about 2300 years . That is when christ was crucified on galgatha or the place of the skull or the knowledge of the true christ. Jesus said christ not himself will return. We are also told the pope in power now will be the last pope It will be the end of an age going into the age of Aquarius and the return of the knowledge of the true Christ that is in all of us If I remember correctly the scripture says there will be a falling away of the church. I could be wrong I have been before but it is something to think about. Best wishes to all
I wonder if the original concept of end times really has to do with when our physical life ends and guiding people into lives of being loving and learning to heal their hurts while they’re here. If you corrupt this idea and throw a bunch of fear behind it, I can see how it could have become the fear based teachings churches use today, calling it the end of times. I love that people are finding spirituality without religious dogma. I also appreciate it when churches evolve with the times and don’t preach hellfire and damnation.
All the religious people are eating eachother alive right now and dividing so extremely that theres no way it wont all end. A house divided cannot stand. They forgot what Jesus taught was love, healing, inner meditation and fasting, being one with the Father. He never wanted worshipped... he wanted people to wake up in love. They cant see they are wanting a one world religion while they think theyre exposing all other religions as one... its pure insanity watching it all. Beautiful watching people wake up though!!!
Apocalypse, from the Greek word Apocolypto, a great revelation of truth at the end of a long period of deceit. “The church is like a house built on the sand and will be washed away by the Tides of Truth coming in.. So in that way we are living in the Apocalypse..😂😂😂
@@johnofnew I don’t believe in prophecy, at best it’s a glimpse of a possibility only, and probably influenced by that persons own perspective whatever it may be.. though the Whole Edgar Cayce John the Beloved thing is interesting..but not really a prophecy of what may or may not occur in the World at large. I do have to admit I am not overly familiar with his work, just very few things.
It’s ragnarok out here. That story is the downfall of religions hold over people. Ultimately the god’s destroy one another and fall away and man takes the reigns in his destiny. Free of the dominion of gods.
The end of days is the ending of the age of Pisces. Rolling up the heavens scroll and opening the new age of Aquarius as a precession.. the new reign of the sun.

I got to meet Master Jesus once to ask him about some of my practices, He said as long as I was coming from a place of LOVE it didn't matter what I did
interesting though he would like being called "master"
So if you rape a 4 year old, if you do it in love it doesn't matter??? I'd be testing the spirit on that.

Agree with you John, I´m a recovering catholic myself. I said "enough" when I realized that there was more staging than spirituality at the church.
I think you are spot on in what you say. I am sick of judgmental condemning "church" people on the whole. I quit going years ago for many reasons.
I agree with you, I've been thinking this for awhile and waiting to hear if anyone thought the same thing. I'm a recovering Catholic myself.
bet there are a lot of us "out here" like you.
Love this! Thank you for such an honest insight. I wholeheartedly agree.
Every day is the beginning not the end ❤️

Oh they are happy to see you to fill their pews but beyond that I feel a void. Nothing against people’s religion or churches, but my church is what I can give to others through love and caring. So I told my husband no. Nothing to do with him but that I get nothing out of church anymore so I have no desire to go. Thank you for your message because it spoke to me so profoundly.
Beautifully stated, as always. Its so simple, isn't it?
Your idea that the church is fading away sounds like a blessing to me, based on what we know about the harm that often comes with it. I've heard it said that only Love is "Real" -- everything else will come and go ... come and go ... we're playing in a Universal sandbox. 😊 So since we're here for a time, let's make it enjoyable, peaceful, loving, kind, and all the rest of what we truly desire. All the dogmas, rules, regulations are not allowing our higher nature to shine through with the Love that we are. I agree with you, John. Let the church fade away. Let there be peace on Earth. 🙏
Thank you for all your insights. I am sad that there is so much truth in what you are saying. My church is a wonderful, loving place - not a perfect place, but what I think Jesus would want from a loving community. I don't think we need to be part of a church to be open and loving to all, but we are able to have a bigger, loving impact together. Every month since 1983, we go to soup kitchen and cook over 100 meals, I could never do this by myself. Being part of a loving and open church can be wonderful, again like you say John, it's family and that isn't always perfect, but you just send them love! Thank you for all your great insights!❤Sibylle
It’s simply about fear and control. Oh yes, donations. You don’t need intermediaries, we are always connected to the Source. We come from the Source, we are forever connected to the Source, and we go home to our true home, back to the Source. Blessed Be ❤
I hear you, I value your perspective, and I stand in Love with you! Thank you for sharing!
BROTHER JOHN!!! I’m so elated that I finally get to write and subscribe to you since I’ve been enjoying your videos for quite some time
I most recently went through a spiritual crisis ( what could be perceived as a “dark night of the soul” if you will ) and your message has helped me immensely. So much so it actually, contrary to the theme of this video, has brought me back to the Orthodox Church ( which I grew up in )
It’s universal message of “LOVE” as opposed to the “fear” of other religions is inspiring me so much that I’m even thinking about attending a seminary lol
Wishing you and yours all the love and happiness in 2024
Peace

What beautiful truths and messages here. Thank you and Amen! ❤❤
Enjoyed (and so agreed) with soooo much of your views and comments that you shared in your video about much of religion. Thank you. Namaste!
Blessings to you on what you had brought up about the end times that mostly had been noticing on those religious fanatics on social media about claiming that we're in the end times mostly fear based and also that religion is going down that more on control by beliefs and had not attended church in a long time myself.
Nice to hear. Agree. So, as I listened, I had a thought that often comes up in this context. What becomes of the nurturing "church"? That is, Father Mackey was a family friend, founder of our local Catholic college, and my mother's confessor. I also saw him at Sufi Dancing and he volunteered at a drug addiction treatment center. He was an intellectual, sweet, kind, and drank cocktails at my parents' parties. He would have come to my mother's death bed, but he said that he, himself, was dying. The church supported him all his adult life and allowed him to do good works full time.
Then there were the sisters who lived on a homestead or convent in the countryside near here who taught people to garden, set up water catchment systems, grow perennial vegetables from the Americas, learned Spanish to be able to minister to those who didn't know English, and were all around bad asses. The church supported them, except I think only by their being part of an establishment of people who took oaths they honored.
The church does have such structures that can magnify their good works and prayers. Their commitment to each other to serve society has made great improvements over the centuries. But they often had to struggle against the church itself. So it's not like we need to authority of the church and centralized power. It gets in the way. So what, then? Do you have any ideas about this, John?
Love is found everywhere not just in Christian churches. But mosques, temples, shrines, parties, movies, the words of a child. The issue with religion is the concept that their way is the only way. This creates division from God and the troubles of the world.
Right on point again John. End of times especially in Revelation sets a path to spirituality and contradicts what religion has coerced mankind to believe through fear. If the church knew its true meaning, it would have been discarded from the beginning. I know you believe it's a warning about Nero, but it's so much simpler than that. People and theologists have been misinterpreting it from the beginning. Keep it up, you're doing great work. Brent
John, you spoke your truth. You spoke my truth. Thank you for the exact message I needed to hear today.
Preach it, John! Well said 👏🏼 👌🏽 👍🏻
Ditto🥰💋
Churches were a sanctuary for me when I was growing up. I've been to inclusive services. I think the church is changing towards a less rigid belief. This isn't original but helps me as I travel my path. God is love. If it's not love, it's not God. God has many names.
End of institutions. Humanity has her days coming, the promise will be fulfilled, we are one!
There is no "promise"
Oh that is right! Thanks.
Sad, to know. But, hey ok
sad you are focused on a negative world. My life is joyful and fun. Its your choice.
I love how you are able to make everything so relatable . Your wisdom really meets me where I am, so much wisdom in a simple package . You are a wonderful soul keep doing what you’re doing .
GREETINGS JOHN THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR EVERY VIDEO ALL YOUR LOVE AFFORDED TO ME/US ALL.
WOW, I ALWAYS FEEL SO HAPPY SO GROUNDED SO ALIVE MY FEAR SUBSIDES MY GUILT FOR DROPPING MY OLD IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC DOGMA. I EVEN FELT GUILTY FOR BEING HAPPY ABOUT NOT BEING RC I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AROUND RELIGION I NEVER FELT OKAY IN MY SKIN I WAS ALWAYS SCARED OF FATHER UP THERE IN THE SKY. NOW WHEN I HEAR YOUR MESSAGES I FEEL JOY PEACE YOUR TEACHINGS ARE KINDNESS LOVE EACH OTHER . THANK YOU JOHN
Agreed! Came to this mud-way through seminary. Lol. Now serve as a hospice chaplain where I can affirm each person's divinity in ways that hold meaning for them, whether it be through an experience, nature, rituals, prayers, or just by virtue of being born. Comfort, comfort ye my people -- and we are all God's people.
not sure what "mud-way" is
@@johnofnew LOL. A type-o: mid-way, I meant.
A few years ago i asked God to show me what was going on with the church, i was given a vision. I was on a beach, in the distance was a large pier that looked like a worn-out relic. Then an image of Jesus appeared at my right headed for this pier holding an axe, his intent was to bring it down. As he approached it the size of the pier became more clear, it was IMMENSELY large, and i understood intuitively it represented an outdated view (orthodoxy) that was going to be brought down by the truth of Jesus. Jesus told me he nothing but compassion for his people in this process, because so much of what has been held sacred will be changing and they will be having a hard time with this. I am taking steps to maybe help with this since i believe what i have learned over the years might be able to help people make the transition from the old way to the new. Peace.
Thank you! Again.
Love is all we need you said when you saw jesua his love drew you to him instantly and you followed him jesua loved everyone no matter what.He went to die on the cross so we could learn that that's all that matters . The temple of the living god is in us he's in everyone that's my truth
I respect your beliefs, though I disagree. Check out my "Jeshua" playlist, and see videos on what I believe. Including why he went to the cross.
I left because I did not like the person I was becoming... Now I feel much more peace then I ever did there.
Very pleased that you made this video. So many friends and family take offense when this topic comes up. People do need to hear this and do their own research. We have been so brainwashed. Many have not found themselves or know how to truly connect to our universe/source. The future will be beautiful. Folks will rejoice quietly and smile!! Love your videos and appreciate the time you invest and the heartfelt explanations.
Thank you for this wonderful, loving, joyful message. Fear has no place in religion or the world. One of the greatest challenges of being human is to overcome fear, not to encourage it. If Jesus taught nothing else, it was how to love everyone, even those who elected to kill him. My own understanding of God is that they are absolute love, without exception or opposition. In that spirit realm, hate and fear simply do not exist. Earth is one place in the universe where the contrast between love and hate, peace and fear, is possible. Understanding that contrast is one way we can appreciate the love of God in a very concrete way.
I heard the question the other day : " If there was one thing you would like to see removed from the world, what would it be ? " One woman said, the atomic bomb, I say ALL religions.
I said "religions"
❤Thank you!
Your truth resonates with me. Sometimes however I play devil's advocate just to understand more deeply. So I have to ask, did Jesus really want us to be self sufficient in our relationship with God (no big churches are necessary) , we need no one to pray for us, we have the power to obtain all we need, etc. or did He envision small groups supporting and sharing with each other. ( small "churches: are encouraged)" I'm thinking of the quote "where ever two or more are gathered..."
"ye are Gods"
Yes, makes more sense
I AM God being Me, and as Me, WE experience this life. Pretty fun......
Some of the churches in my area are so destitute of young members that they have begun to use the same building, even though they are different sects.
It's a rather funny one this one. I mean back in the mid-1980s I went to school with this kid who was convinced the world was going to end every day because he'd been reading about Nostradamus. Also, people have been warning about the end of times for centuries. Don't think anyone has gotten it right yet.
Thank you . I appreciate you in making videos while you are taking a break for the holidays. 💕
I made them before I went on vacation and scheduled their release
I don’t need to watch the video. The answer is yes! Ok… ok… I’ll watch it.
I love this so much ! I can't hit the like button yet because the number is 444. My favorite angel number 😇
That was cool ❤
yup, Interesting Times.
Yupp religion going over next generations. I’m getting that as well in my meditation and channelling
Excellent!! I especially enjoyed the Easter Christmas Catholic!!😂 In my life I have been told a few times by catholics that I can't accept communion simply because I hadn't attended Catacism. I proudly let them know that I am the child of the g e highest God and if I choose to drink the blood of Christ eat the bread etc, then I will
Controlled religion is a mess!!❤
The last judgment will be the declaration of our INNOCENCE.
There is no coming "judgment."
A euphemism for WELCOME HOME.@@johnofnew
The generation my Granddaughter is a part of are even turning away from materialism also. I am so excited for the youth. She says that her generation is never going to live with beliefs of time even before the Dark Ages. They think it is ridiculous. My Dad called them the goody goody meanies meanies. Sad
Your truth 🎯🎯🎯
Beautiful, John of New.
❤ John, yes 💯 percent agree with you. However I do visit church buildings as I always like to give thanks to those poor people who were in some cases, enslaved to build them.
interesting focus...
I drop religeon all to gather i respect all of there own religion thats there right.
❤❤❤❤I concur!
Me to. ❤❤
Rings true to me ❤
Yes, agree!!
Would love to hear more about that “out of body experience” of hers but I know she’s passed…interesting though!!!!!🕊️
Let it fade. 🎉
Ita hard to forgive the church and all the fear and division they have taught.... but I know I must forgive. ❤
Spot on.
Thank you for this awesome message. Like you stated the End Times should have come several times. I listened to a channel and she stated Jesus has been here many, many times.
So when people say what would Jesus think about what is going on in the World today? I would like to hear what you think about the thought Jesus has been here many, many times. I think he continues to come in and out
I lived thru the financial crisis of the 70's and 80's. The financial problems of 2008 and 2009, and wars. WE made it thru those times and I believe we'll make it thru these times as well, without all hell breaking loose.
👍👍👍
The churches are not the problem is just the message given. The leaders missed leading plp etc
The prophecies are about redemption. The new covenant is described on Jeremiah 31. “ I will write my laws in their hearts and no one will have to say “know the lord” because they will all know me. “
The Bible itself says God does away with organized religion. That’s manifesting now.
Hi John, when i wrote i am seeing a prophacy in the words “ This rage that lasts a thousand years. Will soon be done.” (Queen, a kind of magic), you answered that you don’t believe in prophacy. But in this video you shows your believe about the future of this world. I am convinced that the song of Queen is about exact the same thing as your (and mine) believe. But i also believe that there still will be a kind christian community. Not based on rules, fear and jugdement, but based on real love and real knowing.
Nothing in the future is set, fated, or destined and so prophecy is moot.
YEA
How many “the end of times”,is there.?.It’s seems like some who are full on Doreen type of religious want the end to come.So what does this tell of these people who want the end to it all.!.They in their own fear want all to fear.This spills into blame and then hate.So is it hate they really want.As in “you don’t believe in what I do..So therefore I can point,blame and hate you”.?..Sometimes you got to stop,look where your going and really weigh up what and where it’s going…As with Jon I believe God is love and in pure love there must be forgiveness.So I believe in “all you need is love”(think some fella’s sung that in a song once😉)..Keep love above all..
Thanks for a great video on this and all the very best..❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Can you pray for me for a miracle healing in my brain and all body systems? I am so so sick and am desperate for healing, I need it to happen
I will send positive intentions your way. But no prayer can help you if you don't believe that you are receiving healing in the present moment your statement declares I am so sick and I am desperate God's name as I am. And what you declared in the name of God is what you receive. And so how about flipping your script and saying "thank you God for the perfect health I am receiving?" Then put faith in that statement and watch as your life changes.
It's interesting that you would bring up Catholics that only go to Christmas and/or Easter Mass because they don't like the rest of it. Pope John Paul called Catholics in the U.S. "drug store Catholics." What he meant is that we, I am a Catholic convert, take what we like in Catholicism and then disregard what we don't like, such as not being able to use birth control, etc.
Alright, my main issue: I’ve struggled to replace the ritualness and connectivity in my life - my family and children. Do we make our own? It doesn’t make sense to me to show up and do these things at institutions that I don’t align with anymore. But, they do have a community. I consider 2023 to be a year of spiritual awakening for me, and for what it’s worth, I find myself landing on panentheism - God is in everything. I see aspects of this ideology everywhere, but not really an actual community.
Actually in pantheism everything IS your community.
Yeah, a fair point. I’m revisiting my thoughts, and maybe just gloam onto aspects of things that I agree with. Thanks.
I think our current definition of "church" is changing, i dont think chruches are going away. Technically, this youtube channel could be considered a church. Where as your channel is the temple and we are publically worshiping our religious beliefs which are love.
I often find myself coming here to lift myself spiritually. The ideas and things you talk about help me to reconnect internally. So to me, love is my religion and your channel is one of my churches.
interesting perspective though I believe disempowering.
Is it disempowering because of the word church?
no, your definition of needing something outside of yourself you label as a church. the kingdom is within.
I never had any particular loyalty to any denomination.. just Yeshua. I was raised in the methodist denomination.. but by the time I was old enough to go to confirmation classes I'd already begun to question the 'church'. I sat in the class challenging the pastor with a simple question: "If Jesus told us to do this.. why don't we?"
He never had an answer. Often he just sputtered a few words.. and would say, "I don't know."
He was struggling himself apparently.
Over the years my husband and I have encountered ministers who .. led their church in the practice of 'shunning' .. who prayed for the salvation of satan and wanted others to join them .. who led congregations that, to a person, couldn't recall a new member's name EVER .. and finally a congregation who had abandoned the hymnals collecting dust in their pews for the extremely shallow 'contemporary' music that forces you to repeat every line at least 10x.. That pastor stood up and announced that if you didn't like that music you should just leave and not come back.
So we didn't.
It physically gave us migraines. First time I've ever experienced anything like that. I found out later that across our city people were having that very same reaction, writing to the papers, posting on media.. To the point that churches were starting to advertise that they had separate services for people who had that problem! I feel it's like that bit in the Bible where God calls to His people, "Come out of her My People."
My brother holds a masters in Theology from the conservative Presbyterian Reform denomination. And holds an undergraduate degree in music.. He struggles with this issue too. The excuses for abandoning almost every teaching of Yeshua is becoming so obvious. I took Hebrew in college and kept digging from there.. going into the various branches of Judaism .. the early Mennonite churches.. The modern Christianity is so confused it simply makes following Yeshua impossible. Home churches seem to work the best over all.. but even there people can go off the rails into cult-land.
The Age of the Revealing is a challenge of Discernment in every area of Life.
Interesting perspective
I feel the big money making churches will disappear the ones that feed the hungry and clothe the poor will stand because they're actions are from the heart
Did Pentecost really happen? Seems like something had to happen to quickly prepare the disciples to go out and preach.
Search "Pentecost" on my channel and you'll find the video on it.
Luke 22;10 . I heard an interesting translation
We are now in the house of pieces also known as the house of religion. Each house is said to be about 2300 years .
That is when christ was crucified on galgatha or the place of the skull or the knowledge of the true christ. Jesus said christ not himself will return. We are also told the pope in power now will be the last pope
It will be the end of an age going into the age of Aquarius and the return of the knowledge of the true Christ that is in all of us
If I remember correctly the scripture says there will be a falling away of the church. I could be wrong I have been before but it is something to think about. Best wishes to all
I wonder if the original concept of end times really has to do with when our physical life ends and guiding people into lives of being loving and learning to heal their hurts while they’re here. If you corrupt this idea and throw a bunch of fear behind it, I can see how it could have become the fear based teachings churches use today, calling it the end of times. I love that people are finding spirituality without religious dogma. I also appreciate it when churches evolve with the times and don’t preach hellfire and damnation.
Historically, the end times were supposed to happen during the lifetimes of Jeshua's disciples 2000 years ago.
LOVE requires no religion. There are too many CINOs out there--Christians in name only.
funny though I don't care for divisive labels in any direction
All the religious people are eating eachother alive right now and dividing so extremely that theres no way it wont all end. A house divided cannot stand. They forgot what Jesus taught was love, healing, inner meditation and fasting, being one with the Father. He never wanted worshipped... he wanted people to wake up in love.
They cant see they are wanting a one world religion while they think theyre exposing all other religions as one... its pure insanity watching it all.
Beautiful watching people wake up though!!!
Apocalypse, from the Greek word Apocolypto, a great revelation of truth at the end of a long period of deceit.
“The church is like a house built on the sand and will be washed away by the Tides of Truth coming in..
So in that way we are living in the Apocalypse..😂😂😂
Interesting perspective though I'm not fond of repurposing prophecies myself.
@@johnofnew I don’t believe in prophecy, at best it’s a glimpse of a possibility only, and probably influenced by that persons own perspective whatever it may be.. though the Whole Edgar Cayce John the Beloved thing is interesting..but not really a prophecy of what may or may not occur in the World at large. I do have to admit I am not overly familiar with his work, just very few things.
It’s ragnarok out here. That story is the downfall of religions hold over people. Ultimately the god’s destroy one another and fall away and man takes the reigns in his destiny. Free of the dominion of gods.
Spiritual not “religious.” ❤
The end of days is the ending of the age of Pisces. Rolling up the heavens scroll and opening the new age of Aquarius as a precession.. the new reign of the sun.
interesting perspective
@@johnofnew it certainly doesn’t mean that it’s all and only Astronomy and the signs of the times but that is certainly is what it is.
Didn't Yeshua hang out with non Jews???? He loved everyone.
yup
Yep he sure did, two of the twelve disciples were literally Greeks. Philip and Andrew ( Andrew being the ‘first called’ to be a disciple )
