*But as the Anointed One, at the very outset of His earthly ministry, declared:
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye and believe the gospel.
**Or as the Older Testament prophet Ezekiel so powerfully declared:
Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and ***make you
a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die...?
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
*Gospel of Mark 1:15
*Ezekiel 18: 30-32
***'get yourselves' (New King James Version)
