JESUS WARNING TO MOTHERS OF BABIES

My Dear Precious Child,
    Jesus warned His followers about woes that were going to come upon people when He died on the cross for the sins of the world in order to usher in My Kingdom of God which entered into the world on the day of the fulfillment of the day of Pentecost.  He knew that all of His followers would experience calamities in some areas of their lives. (Luke 21:10-19) In His love for all of humanity Jesus warned women that they must be cautious because it would be hard for them because of the woes that would come upon women with babies and especially upon women who were nursing mothers in that glorious time on earth.  He had prophesied that there would be every kind of devastation to come upon the earth from the Jewish and Roman officials who would persecute His followers. In their escape from Jerusalem it would be especially difficult for the women with children and nursing babies.  He was warning them ahead of time on what they should do so that not a hair on their heads would be harmed. (verse 17)
   He explained His warning to all people, and especially to all women with babies when He said that when they saw soldiers circling around Jerusalem to execute judgment upon Him that all of His followers in the city should flee to the mountains or they would experience woes at the hands of the officials and even their own families.  (Luke 21:20-26) Jesus particularly singled out the women with babies in His warnings about how to avoid the turbulence that was to come when He was killed and rose from the dead.  He said that some men would even die of fright because of the problems at the time. (verse 26)  
    However, after His warnings about what was to happen in the earth at the time when He was crucified and rose from the dead, He encouraged His followers by telling them that when they saw Him coming back to earth on a cloud with great power and glory, that they would be able to stand up and hold their heads high because their deliverance was at hand.  
   The fulfillment of the prophesy of Jesus Christ was exactly like He described.  After His death and resurrection He appeared to some of them and told them to go to Jerusalem and wait for My promise to them to be fulfilled, that they would receive power when My Holy Spirit came upon them.  Then a cloud took Him from their sight.  Two men in white, angels, told His followers that He would return just like He appeared and then disappeared in front of their eyes. (Acts 1:1-11)
   Soon after, on the day of Pentecost the followers of Jesus were sequestered in the room where He had commanded them to meet while waiting for what I had promised.  They had no idea what it was, they were just being obedient.  They were devoted to constant prayers. Sure enough, what He promised when He appeared out of a cloud came to pass.  My kingdom of heaven came into their human lives.  They became baptized in My kingdom of God when the entire company of heaven descended from heaven and came to endue them with My power of the Holy Spirit. Phenomenal signs and wonders appeared and they were filled with My Holy Spirit.  (Acts 2:1-4)  There was a gathering in Jerusalem of a Jew from every nation in the world and each one heard My Good News preached in his own national language, as well as their speaking in the language of My heaven. (Acts 2:5-12)  
   Peter explained to everyone that what happened was a fulfillment of every prophesy that was spoken by old covenant prophets and Jesus Christ.  He explained the signs and wonders and the ensuing miracle of My Kingdom of God coming to live inside of people. (Acts 2:14-41)  Three thousand Jews were baptized in the Holy Spirit that day and so My kingdom of God spread that day into the world.  
  Several years later the writer of the book Hebrews described the event of that day as the New Jerusalem had come into the earth.  He wrote that people who are baptized in My Holy Spirit are surrounded by a myriad of angels, the spirits of the old covenant saints who were raised from the dead with Jesus, and Me the judge of all, the spirits of men who had been made perfect, Jesus the mediator of My new covenant, and the sprinkled blood of Jesus for their purification.  (Hebrews 12:18-29)  He wrote that with those inhabitants of heaven present in their lives that they had received an unshakable kingdom.
    Before that glorious day in the history of the earth, because of My love that was present in Jesus Christ, He had warned His followers, speaking specifically to the women with babies, about the woes that would come upon them if they did not escape to the mountains while the calamities came upon the earth when He was crucified.  To the people who fled to the mountains, not a hair on their heads was injured, as promised by Jesus Christ.
    I told you through the writer of Hebrews that you have inherited My kingdom of God in your life on earth and that you have My Holy Spirit living inside of you.  Do not ignore My voice that speaks personally so eloquently to you about dangers what come to steal My words from you. The devil never gives up, but neither do I. Neither do My children who hear My voice and heed My words.  They reign in life over all evil.  (Hebrews 12:25-29)
