A “woe” is great sorrow, grief, or distress. If you are continuing on the path of being earthly or carnally minded, you will soon experience great woe.
Jude 1:11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
There are three aspects to this great woe. First is the “way” of Cain. Cain was not his brother’s keeper. On the contrary, he was wicked and hated his brother who practiced righteousness. The two great Commandments of Love were in existence when Cain and Abel walked the earth. The Beloved Disciple explains the first great woe in 1 John 3:
10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,
12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.
13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
The second aspect of great distress arises out of the spirit of Balaam. The “way” of Balaam was to appear to follow FATHER’S instructions but inwardly his intent was that of covetousness and greed. He was double-minded in his ways. There is no doubt that he was operating in the gift of prophecy but his inward motivation was greed. Ultimately those who follow the way of Balaam will produce no fruit just as wells without water are of no value. In 2 Peter chapter 2, we see this spirit described in detail:
15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness.
The third aspect of this tremendous grief is connected with submission to Spiritual authority. The rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16 is where a group led by Korah challenged FATHER’S appointed leaders. Their argument was that FATHER speaks to all men and they did not need to align themselves and submit to those appointments. This position is partially true in that FATHER speaks to all men. But FATHER also give specific men and women callings required for these times to lead and govern according to FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love.
In this time of visitation, FATHER is raising up those whom HE has designated to form HIS Government on earth. Their motivation is pure and guided totally by Love. They seek not to lord over men but instead they seek to simply do FATHER’S perfect Plan, Will, and purpose to bring forth the Kingdom on earth by serving all of mankind. It is both an outward AND inward work. Those who resist what FATHER is doing will experience great woes. Their grief and sorrow will dramatically express itself for all to see. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth as the apocalypse or exposing of the full revelation of Jesus Christ in the Sons occurs.
