"many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”

EKKLESIA 98

“Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Obscurity. This is the solitary path of the straight and narrow.
No one to follow but Jesus. One Way only.
Take heed to yourself. Watch and pray. No looking back. Remember Lot's wife.
No turning back. "many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”

 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”.  (‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

The Bible is precious to those who love the Truth.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

The kingdom of God is not of this world. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophesy.
Scripture compared with scripture. "Rightly divided". Not to be mixed with "politics".
Or to equate any part of this world with the kingdom of God. Many are looking unto Israel
rather than Jesus the Author and Finisher of the faith of God. "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
And he left them, and departed.”  (Matthew‬ ‭16:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

True Believers must contend for: "the faith that was once delivered to the saints".
This comes by having an ear to hear the written words of God mixed with faith received by the grace of God that brings salvation.  REPENT! BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BELIEVE AT ONE TIME, BUT ONE MUST REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE END, RECEIVING AND PARTAKING OF THE DIVINE NATURE OF JESUS CHRIST: EATING HIS FLESH AND DRINKING HIS BLOOD. THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB IS FOR REMISSION OF SINS. "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE", JESUS SAID.  "Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?"

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:44-66‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.”
‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬)
