First Letter From Small Man To The Sacred Family In VIllage Of False VIctory 1 Thessalonians

¹¹Now may our Father the Great Spirit himself and Creator Sets Free (Jesus) our Honored Chief guide our steps to you. ¹²May our Honored Chief make your love for each other and for all people grow deep and wide, just as our love does for you. ¹³This love will give you strong hearts, so you will be able to stand holy and pure before our Father the Great Spirit when our Honored Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) appears with all his holy ones.

¹My sacred family members, I have more I want to say to you. You are walking in a way that makes Creator’s heart glad, the way we taught you to walk. Now our firm counsel to you from our Honored Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) is that you must keep walking more and more in this way. ²For the instructions we gave you came from Creator Sets Free (Jesus) our Honored Chief himself.

³Our Creator wants you to walk in a sacred way, keeping yourself free from sexual impurity. ⁴He wants each of you to control your own body in a sacred manner with honor and respect, ⁵not with uncontrolled desire, like the people from the Outside Nations who do not know the Great Spirit. ⁶No one should abuse a sacred family member in this manner, for our Honored Chief will punish those who do, just as we have already solemnly warned you. ⁷For our Creator has not called us to walk in impurity but in a sacred manner. ⁸So the one who turns away from this instruction is not turning away from a human being, but from Creator himself, who has given his Holy Spirit to you.

⁹There is no need for us to instruct you about the love we share as sacred family members. Creator himself has taught you how to love each other. ¹⁰It is clear that you show love to all the sacred family throughout Land of Tall People (Macedonia). So then, my sacred family members, keep loving like this more and more. ¹¹Make it your aim to live a quiet and peaceful life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, just as we have instructed. ¹²By walking in this good way, you will win the respect of outsiders and not have to look to others for your needs.

¹³Now, my sacred family members, we want you to understand what will happen to those who have walked on so that you will not be filled with sorrow like the others who have no hope. ¹⁴We believe that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) died and rose again. We can be just as sure that the Great Spirit will, along with him, bring back to life those who when they died were trusting in him.

¹⁵What we are telling you comes from the words of our Honored Chief. We who remain alive until his coming will not come face to face with him ahead of the ones who have walked on. ¹⁶For our Honored Chief himself will come down from the spirit-world above with a war cry. The voice of the chief spirit-messenger will join with him, and the eagle bone whistle will sound.3 First, the ones who died trusting in the Chosen One will rise. ¹⁷Then, together with them, we who have remained alive will be taken up into the clouds to meet our Honored Chief in the air. Then we will always be with him. ¹⁸Use these words to lift up each other’s hearts.

¹Now, my sacred family members, we have no need to write to you about the times and seasons that have been set in place by our Creator. ²For you know very well that the day of our Honored Chief will come without warning like a thief in the night. ³At a time when people are saying, “Peace and safety,” sudden destruction will come down on their heads, like the pains of birth that come upon a woman with child, and there will be no way to escape.

^4-5But that day should not catch you off guard like a thief in the night. For you, my sacred family members, are children of the light. You belong to the day. We are not of the night, nor of darkness. ⁶So let us not fall asleep as others do. Instead, we should stay sober and alert. ⁷For it is during the night that people sleep or get drunk. ⁸But since we are children of the day, let us walk in sobriety and put on faith and love as a breastplate, and for a headdress let us put on the hope of being set free and made whole.

⁹For the Great Spirit has not chosen us as targets for his great anger, but as targets for his great love. He will set us free and make us whole through our Honored Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. ¹⁰He died for us so that we might live together with him, whether we remain alive until he comes or have died and walked on. ¹¹So encourage each other and help each other grow strong, just as you are already doing.

¹²So, my sacred family members, we have something to ask of you. Honor the spiritual leaders who work hard among you. For they watch over you and give you wise and firm counsel as they serve our Honored Chief. ¹³Treat them with great respect and love for the work they do, and be at peace with each other.

¹⁴Now, my sacred family members, we call on you to give firm and wise counsel to those whose hands do nothing. Comfort those whose hearts are on the ground. Help the ones who are weak, and be patient with everyone. ¹⁵Make sure no one gives back to anyone evil for evil. Instead, seek to walk in a good way with each other and with all people.

¹⁶Dance for joy at all times! ¹⁷Never stop sending up prayers. ¹⁸Give thanks to the Great Spirit in all things, for this is what he wants from you as you dance in step with Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. ¹⁹Do not put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. ²⁰Do not look down on or turn away from words spoken as prophecies, ²¹but think deeply about what is said and hold firmly to what is good. ²²Make sure to turn away from all kinds of evil.

²³Now may the Giver of Peace, Creator himself, make you holy in every way. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept pure and without blame at the coming of our Honored Chief, Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. ²⁴The one who called you is faithful, and he will do it.

²⁵My sacred family members, keep sending up prayers for us, ²⁶and greet all the members of the sacred family with a holy kiss. ²⁷Give me your solemn promise that you will read this letter to all of them. ²⁸May the gift of great kindness from Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One be with you all.

Aho! May it be so!
