YHVH God (Yahoveh) is testing all individuals to see if they are fit for His kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven and according to Jesus, only a few will pass the test. There is a certain type of person that will God allow in His kingdom and there are certain types that He will not allow in. God, like any other king, does not want people in His kingdom who will not submit to His authority - that would lead to rebellion and chaos. So, God's testing determines who's fit for His kingdom. The testing began in the Garden of Eden, and it continues up to this very day, we read about it from Genesis through the Book of the Revelation. All people will be tested in the exactly same way. The 'many' are failing and only a 'few' are passing (Matthew 7:13-14). While the test is simple the 'many' fail because the temptations are great. In order to pass the test, we must understand and overcome the temptations, and only a 'few' do. The test is simply this, who do you really trust? God gives us a command(s), and the beast, or the image of the beast tells us that we don't need to keep that command(s); the question then is which of these two authorities will you believe and obey? Oh, that sounds so simple; of course we say that we will obey YHVH God's command(s). And we all should, and we all would, except, as Jesus warned, there are great deceptions that fool almost everyone. Matthew 24:11, "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many." Revelation 12:9, 13:3, "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him......And all the world marveled and followed the beast". The world today is full of false prophets, and unless you study Jesus' words you won't even know who they are. Their messages sound so good, and so religious and appealing to our human nature. And that's why 'all the world' is deceived, and that means almost everyone. Could that include you? Read along and you will learn what that great deception is, and Jesus' words that will inoculate us against that deception and then set free from other deceptions.
