There is a family member who lives apart from us. Her exile is no more than self imposed, by virtue of her inability to comprehend her error. She is oblivious. This elder sister's high standing in the family cannot be challenged, or even approached, by aggressive competition from a sibling, because it is only the birth from a singular father which confers an insider standing. For now, there is the ongoing heartbreak of those who love her, who must stand by and witness her confusion and captivity to hatred.
Why would she believe the lies of those who use her? It almost seems as if she is trying to fulfill the worst that others say of her. Why would she consider it normal to accommodate those who steal from her and then use violence against her? There are many tears shed on her behalf, for the lonely questions which drive her. If she would surrender the self delusion, stop pretending things are remotely normal, to her family, if she would allow herself the devastating realization of her situation, if she could acknowledge the truth, then her Salvation would come. Her Deliverer has already paid every price required. He has taken captivity captive. There are no barriers, to her taking up her esteem in His eyes, except her will to avoid that fate. The truth will set her free.
All she must do is see that the rebellion she lives in is what keeps her apart. Her father desires no hurt for her, only her obedience to His joy. She needs to stop hiding from Love out of fear! She must abandon all her lovers and the chains by which they keep her dependent on them, in order to take up the exalted honor which is her destiny and birthright!

Silence of the Lambs
Those who are strong enough to defend themselves would not understand. They have never found themselves helpless and powerless. Those who were from the beginning, taught to function from a position of love and affirmation, could not help but lack comprehension of the shame. They weren't told that it was all their own fault.
Shame is not a thing that we are born for, or a burden we take up willingly. It is forced on us from outside ourselves. Our consciousness internalizes a flood of denunciation, which is set on automatic repetition, driving us to despair. We cannot unhear our condemnation. We cannot unfeel our rejection. Innocence trusts, not realizing vulnerability, that there is one who would take advantage, who would use others to temporarily silence and satiate their demons.
The abuser will not bother to explain it to his victim. He is too busy defending what he sees as his position of power, his victory over weakness, that he has won, in his own story of innocence lost. He is a slave to a cycle he feels driven to repeat, so he can force the story to turn out right for him. In defending the terrified child within, he passes on his curse to another.
Victims of violence must go through a process, which involves the repetition of images and emotions that they experienced. They relive their trauma over and over. The intensity of the event makes it unavoidable. Dark knowledge becomes part of them and who they are. Different eyes look out on the world, with perceptions altered by the new light. They can never return to who they were, to innocence, and would choose to not give up what they have learned, that light of knowledge and understanding. If we cannot be grateful for the lessons we have gained, then we are left with only the shame. If the truth is not told, then we remain in the hell forced on us. We will have suffered for nothing. Silence only justifies what was done to us. We will become the same as our abuser, if evil is not exposed so healing can begin.
When God tells us to forgive, He means that we are to trust Him for justice, that He will make good come from it, so that our suffering is not in vain. We don't have to do the work of actively protecting ourselves, and thereby pass on the curse to another generation of victims. Forgiveness does not take back what we have learned, does not shut down our new skill of recognizing evil. Instead, forgiveness enables us to make use of the truth to help others, to support the brothers, to build them up from our new conviction, and make them strong. It makes a negative (anger) into a positive, passionate energy, so that we don't become another abuser in an endless cyle of destruction. Truth does that! Silence, however, still kills: the spirit, truth, and love. Do not be silent! By passing on God's own knowledge of overcoming, of keeping the faith, we do what He did, when He showed us how it's done!
Ephesians 5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

False Prophet and Antichrist
The time has come, brothers, to wake from sleep! (Roms 13:11) The Spirit is calling us to war! (Ephes 6:11-13) Our weapons are not of this world. The Lord is calling warriors out, to speak His word of truth! There is repentance from sin to teach of, in the Name of Messiah!
Obama is the false prophet, the leader of the nation which looks like a lamb, with it's two horns of a dual leadership, which speaks like a dragon because it arms Islam, enabling the killing of christians worldwide. The false prophet brings the antichrist to power. The false prophet instigates the mark of the beast.
The Syrian rebels that Obama supports with American arms and tax money, are at this time expanding their influence throughout the sphere which the beast, the "little horn", will rule over. In the Old Testament, he is called the Assyrian, the king of Babylon, and the king of Egypt. He will come to power by confirming a peace treaty with Israel.
This great tribulation is the grape harvest. Grapes are crushed to obtain the wine. So shall the unbelievers be judged. Grapes are at the end of the summer harvest, just after. (Rev 14:18-20)
