We have a religious group that has similar characteristics - they draw people from all over the country and they and or their members have bought a lot of property and homes in an area that, frankly, needed some help, had been on the decline until this group starting growing about 20 years ago although I think they have kind of plateaued of late as the founder got embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal. But always something has seemed 'off' about them to me. Only hang out with their own members and are not at all engaged in the broader community like most churches are. Nothing would surprise me any more.
It was about 2020 when we all started waking up and I said no Lord, they can't be kidnapping and sacrificing children and worshipping the same gods as in the OT. All the people we see on TV? Not the normal people near me??
Then, the Lord showed me that among other things and told me not to be of the world. I prefer to stay on God's side and suffer now rather than pay later...
God bless... Everything we need is in the Bible even if they messed with it.
Deuteronomy 32:16-17
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Deuteronomy 4:25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
Wow, that picture!?
