Is the king of Tyre prophecy in Ezekiel 28 referring to Satan?

October 24, 2026

 



At first glance, the prophecy in Ezekiel 28:11–19 seems to refer to a human king. The city of Tyre was the recipient of some of the strongest prophetic condemnations in the Bible (Isaiah 23:1–18; Jeremiah 25:22; 27:1–11; Ezekiel 26:1– 28:19; Joel 3:4–8; Amos 1:9, 10). Tyre was known for building its wealth by exploiting its neighbors. Ancient writers referred to Tyre as a city filled with unscrupulous merchants. Tyre was a center of religious idolatry and sexual immorality. The biblical prophets rebuked Tyre for its pride brought on by its great wealth and strategic location. Ezekiel 28:11–19 seems to be a particularly strong indictment against the king of Tyre in the prophet Ezekiel’s day, rebuking the king for his insatiable pride and greed.


However, some of the descriptions in Ezekiel 28:11–19 go beyond any mere human king. In no sense could an earthly king claim to be “in Eden” or to be “the anointed cherub who covers” or to be “on the holy mountain of God.” Therefore, most Bible interpreters believe that Ezekiel 28:11–19 is a dual prophecy, comparing the pride of the king of Tyre to the pride of Satan. Some propose that the king of Tyre was actually possessed by Satan, making the link between the two even more powerful and applicable.

Before his fall, Satan was indeed a beautiful creature (Ezekiel 28:12–13). He was perhaps the most beautiful and powerful of all the angels. The phrase “guardian cherub” possibly indicates that Satan was the angel who “guarded” God’s presence. Pride led to Satan’s fall. Rather than give God the glory for creating him so beautifully, Satan took pride in himself, thinking that he himself was responsible for his exalted status. Satan’s rebellion resulted in God casting Satan from His presence and will, eventually, result in God condemning Satan to the lake of fire for all eternity (Revelation 20:10).

Like Satan, the human king of Tyre was prideful. Rather than recognize God’s sovereignty, the king of Tyre attributed Tyre’s riches to his own wisdom and strength. Not satisfied with his extravagant position, the king of Tyre sought more and more, resulting in Tyre taking advantage of other nations, expanding its own wealth at the expense of others. But just as Satan’s pride led to his fall and will eventually lead to his eternal destruction, so will the city of Tyre lose its wealth, power, and status. Ezekiel’s prophecy of Tyre’s total destruction was fulfilled partially by Nebuchadnezzar (Ezekiel 29:17–21) and ultimately by Alexander the Great.

Risala 20 – Asia (Listen)

Trey Knowles: Risala 20 – Asia (Listen)

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Peace to you, my brothers and sisters in Asia.

You have heard that it was said to those of old: “You shall not murder,” and whoever murders will be liable to judgment. The soil of the innocent—those who died—cries out to the blood of their families: “All we wanted was a life, a God-given life.” The colonizing devil has taken life from us.


Japan (1945): Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, plus extensive conventional bombing.
Korea (1950–1953): Extensive bombing during the Korean War destroyed most towns.
China (1950–1953): Strikes during the Korean War.
Vietnam (1961–1973): Intense bombing campaigns during the Vietnam War.
Laos (1964–1973): Over two million tonnes of ordnance were dropped, making it the most bombed country per capita.


Cambodia (1969–1970): Extensive bombing during the Vietnam War era.
Indonesia (1958): Strikes occurred.


Middle East/West Asia: Ongoing campaigns in Iraq (1991, 2003–2015), Afghanistan (1998, 2001–2015), Pakistan, Yemen, and Syria.


In Leviticus 24:17, it reads, “Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.” But we give mercy to this colonizing devil. It is written in Genesis 9:6, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image.” And you, Asia, are made in God’s image.


I know that my Lord sees everything. So I tell you, Asia: everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. So do not be like the colonizing devil. Put down your guns, put away the likeness of the colonizing devil, and turn away from your sins, so that our God can distinguish you from the colonizing devil. I know in my heart that you are nothing like them.



Remember Mahatma Gandhi, who practiced nonviolent resistance and helped you gain independence from your colonial oppressor. Gandhi rebuked the colonial oppressor, and he fled. So I tell you: defeat your enemy with righteousness, so that your enemy will have no cause to strike against you, because you have distinguished yourself as nothing like the colonial demon. 


Do not do evil, and do not do evil against your own brothers and sisters, because if you do, the colonizer devil will use it against you as a reason to attack you and come against you. He will accuse you on matters of your civil rights and violations of his doctrine.


Understand that your enemy, the colonizer devil, pretends to be like an angel of light, but you will know him by his character. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, waiting to steal, kill, and destroy. Brothers and sisters of Asia, remain in your nature and culture, and to those who are still indigenous in Asia, stay as you are and do not follow this enemy. 


Believers are to avoid conforming to worldly, materialistic, or sinful patterns of the colonizing enemy and instead focus on the glory of God, for everything is freely given to you.


Grace and peace,
Sincerely,
Trey Knowles 


 

Risala 19 – Mexico and South America (Listen)

Trey Knowles: Risala 19 – Mexico and South America (Listen)

“Poner buena cara al mal tiempo” — to bad weather, a good face.
You have been oppressed, yet our Lord sees everything.


The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy, and they have taken advantage of Spanish and Indigenous people without justice. 


For I, Trey Knowles, tell you: trouble is coming for those who create unjust laws, and for the officials who continue to enforce oppression—those who block the poor from receiving justice, who steal the rights of the vulnerable, who treat widows as easy targets, and who exploit children who have no one to defend them.


But you, mi gente, do not follow paths of violence, dishonesty, or mischief. Those ways do not belong to you, but to the Diablo—the world colonizer—who came with guns. Do not take up his ways. I want you to know that you are from God also. Abstain from every form of evil. Do not be like the world that lies in the power of the evil one.


Turn away from idols and from statues. Turn your children away from gangs. Protect your daughters from abuse and sexual immorality. I say this: you must no longer walk as those who colonized and abused your brothers and sisters. 


Their thinking has become futile, and their hearts hardened. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance within them. They have become callous and given themselves over to sensuality, practicing every kind of impurity.


But that is not the way you learned Yeshua—assuming you have heard about Him and were taught in Him, as the truth is in Yeshua. Do not be like those who follow destructive ways. Rebuke such paths, because they bring destruction to homes and to children.


Repent, therefore, to our Lord and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out. Mi gente, te hablo con amor.

Busquen a Dios mientras Él aún se les ofrece; clamen a Él mientras está cerca. Que los malvados abandonen sus caminos corruptos y que los injustos dejen atrás sus pensamientos perversos.
Que regresen al Señor, pues Él está dispuesto a mostrar compasión. Que vuelvan a nuestro Dios, porque Él perdona libre y plenamente.


El camino del Señor es una fortaleza para el íntegro, pero destrucción para los malhechores.

¡Oh, vosotros que amáis al Señor, odiad el mal! Él preserva la vida de sus santos; los libra de la mano de los impíos.


Veo lo que hacen tus enemigos: aquellos que te llaman inmigrante, pero que ellos mismos son inmigrantes que mantienen cautivos a los inocentes.


En su arrogancia, los malvados persiguen a los pobres; pero que caigan en las mismas trampas que tendieron para otros. Los malvados presumen de sus deseos egoístas, y los codiciosos maldicen a Dios y le dan la espalda. Cegados por el orgullo, nunca buscan a Dios; sus pensamientos son, básicamente: «No existe Dios».


Todo lo que hacen parece prosperar, y tu justicia les parece muy lejana, fuera de su alcance. Se burlan de cualquiera que se les oponga. En su interior se dicen a sí mismos: «Nada podrá conmoverme. Nunca enfrentaré problemas: ni ahora, ni jamás».


Sus pies corren hacia el mal y se apresuran a derramar sangre inocente; sus pensamientos son pensamientos de iniquidad; la desolación y la destrucción están en sus caminos. No conocen el camino de la paz, y no hay justicia en sus sendas; han hecho tortuosos sus caminos; nadie que los transite conoce la paz.


Diles a tus hijos que no se unan a sus ejércitos ni a sus fuerzas del orden; si los pecadores los incitan, que no consientan. Si dicen: «Esta es la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes; acechemos para derramar sangre; embosquemos al inocente sin motivo».


Se confabulan contra la vida del justo y condenan a muerte al inocente. Pero el Señor se ha convertido en nuestra fortaleza, y nuestro Dios, en la roca de nuestro refugio. Él hará recaer sobre ellos su iniquidad y los aniquilará por su maldad; el Señor, nuestro Dios, los aniquilará.

Gracia y paz.
Atentamente,
Trey Knowles

Risala 18 – Africa, It's Time

October 24, 2026


Trey Knowles: Risala 18 – Africa, It's Time


To Africa and all the Islands that be...

A faithful witness does not lie, and victims are not meant to remain silent. I encourage you to bring evil into the light, allowing victims to voice their agony. Fear no more. What can man do to you? What can mere mortals do to you? Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.



Yet for our Lord’s sake, we may face death all day long; we may be regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. At times, we may feel abandoned, even while remaining faithful. But our Lord will never leave us nor forsake us.


Africa, my Lord, has seen the deeds of your colonizers. Our Lord sees everything, and He has seen the oppression placed upon you. The only debt you owe them is to love them. My Lord also sees their witchcraft and sorcery—manipulation and the misuse of medicine and supernatural practices meant to destroy and harm and make you sick, though such things are often disguised as good...



Africa, be wary of their tactics against you.

Do not allow your colonizers to turn you against your brothers and sisters, causing you to destroy one another. Do not allow them to place wicked men to govern you—kings who take the people’s best fields, vineyards, servants, and livestock, along with a tenth of their grain, reducing the people to slavery. Those wicked rulers serve their colonizers.



Whoever oppresses the poor insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors Him.

Africa, put your guns down, for these are the weapons of those who do wickedness in the sight of God. They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder.



There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that hurry to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.



Turn away from every evil practice that comes from the colonizer. Uneducate yourself from their Shakespeare. Turn away from colonizer magical stories and fairytales, and demonic practices come from under their doctrinations.



The works of the Colonizer devil in your life, oh Africa, caused you to gratify the cravings of the colonizer's flesh and follow their desires and thoughts.



Do not do business with the land of the colonizer. Learn from experience that a lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth brings ruin.



The robbery of the wicked will destroy you, Africa, because you refuse to practice justice. I tell you: to do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Hear the wisdom of Solomon—getting treasures by a lying tongue is vanity, tossed to and fro by those who seek death. Those who chase wealth through wicked means pursue their own destruction.



It is a joy for the just to do what is right, but destruction awaits the workers of iniquity. Therefore, Africa, do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and go your own way.



Love one another with devotion and brotherly affection. Set examples in showing respect and in building one another up. Grow and multiply, for the righteous shall inherit the land and dwell in it forever.



Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked Colonizer come to an end, but establish the just. For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds. My defense is in God, who saves the upright in heart.



Behold, the wicked bring forth iniquity; they conceive trouble and give birth to falsehood. They make a pit and dig it out, only to fall into the ditch they themselves have made. Their trouble returns upon their own head, and their violent deeds come down upon their own crown.



Africa, sing praise to the Lord according to His righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High, Yahweh.

Grace and peace,

Sincerely, Trey Knowles

Risala 17 – House of Jacob (Listen)

October 24, 2026




Trey Knowles: Risala 17 – House of Jacob (Listen)

Listen to me, House of Jacob, so that you will not be deceived, and know that my Lord loves you. Whoever steals a man and sells him, or is found in possession of him, shall be put to death, as it is written in Exodus 21:16. If a man is found stealing one of his brothers among the people of Israel and treats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, as it is written in Deuteronomy 24:7.



For my Lord does not change, as it is written in Malachi 3:6: “I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.”


For I, Trey Knowles, tell you to look at your oppressor and pay attention to his history and his character. If he were righteous, he would not have enslaved you and mistreated you.


We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for slave traders, liars, and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.


I tell you this so that you will not be upset with my Lord. Those enemies who came in my Lord’s name are deceivers. My Lord loves you; He will not do anything to harm you, for this is not His character. O House of Jacob, come away from your sin.


Listen to me, and do not be stubborn-hearted, you who are far from my Lord’s righteousness. My Lord brings His righteousness near; it is not far away, and His salvation will not be delayed. My Lord grants salvation to Zion and His splendor to Israel. Remember how my Lord parted the Red Sea and rescued you from the house of bondage. Remember the former things, those of long ago:


He is God, and there is no other; He is God, and there is none like Him.

“Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel, you whom my Lord has upheld since your birth and carried since you were born. Even to your old age and gray hairs, He is the One who will sustain you.


He has made you, and He will carry you; He will sustain you, and He will rescue you.

“With whom will you compare Him or count Him equal? To whom will you liken Him, that we may be compared?


O House of Jacob, my Lord is not willing for you to perish but to come to repentance. If my Lord is for you, who can be against you?


O House of Jacob, have you considered why your enemy targets you and persuades you with payment to promote unrighteous behavior to others? You know that your colonizer controls and empowers much of the media. Yet this is what I have against you, House of Jacob: you volunteer yourselves for these deeds. You do not flee from evil; instead, you walk toward it and become workers of iniquity. This is why it is said that you worship the need for money, placing your faith in the hands of your enemy, and forgetting your God. Return to God, and He will return to you. 


If your oppressor devil is willing to face the consequences of destruction, would you not consider that he is also willing to draw you in with him? Stop hating your own people. For your struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. O House of Jacob, when will you awaken?


Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
Grace and Peace

Risala 16 - Open Judgment

October 24, 2026



Trey Knowles: Risala 16 - Open Judgment


How can I rescue those who are being led away to death, even when it is by their own choice? To show partiality in judgment is not good. Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by people and denounced by nations. Therefore, I am testifying against my neighbor with cause.


What I see today seems even worse than Sodom and Gomorrah; even Abraham would not be able to negotiate. Look at the nations that say they are Christian Gentiles—judge for yourself based on the Word of God.


What do you see? The depraved minds of people are fanning the flames through advertising and influencing their sinful lifestyles on children through television and other media channels. The people of the nations that do such things deserve to be judged. I am reminded of the words of my Lord in Matthew 10:15: “Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”


For I tell you, if a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. As it is written in Leviticus 20:13.


Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.


Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. As it is written in Leviticus 18:22-24


Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:

Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were.


But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Yeshua and by the Spirit of our God. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11


Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.


In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.


Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. As it is written in Romans 1:26-28



We know that the law is good when it is used properly.
We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine. As it is written in 1 Timothy 1:8-10



But at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, as it is written in Mark 10:6-9



But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. As it is written in Corinthians 7:2



Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

بِئْسَمَا ٱشْتَرَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَنفُسَهُمْ أَن يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بَغْيًا أَن يُنَزِّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ فَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ عَلَىٰ غَضَبٍۢ ۚ وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌۭ مُّهِينٌۭ ٩٠

Surah Al-Baqarah - 90

Miserable is the price they have sold their souls for—denying Allah’s revelation and resenting Allah for granting His grace to whoever He wills of His servants! They have earned wrath upon wrath. And such disbelievers will suffer a humiliating punishment.


I ask you: Am I correct in my judgment, or should I be considered a liar? Tell me what you see?

Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
Grace and peace.


Risla 15 - Separate and Distinguish

October 24, 2026



Trey Knowles: Risala 15 - Separate and Distinguish

O House of Jacob, even though they may slay us and give us no reparations, we forgive them. We hold no hostility toward them; instead, we love our enemies, because this is who we are. This is what separates us from the wicked.



There is no death within us who are the remnant. But as for the wicked colonizers, they carry an inward death within themselves—an internal destruction of their own making. We show no anger toward them, but joy. Salvation is not for the wicked, but for those who do the will of our Father who is in heaven.



Mercy means nothing to the wicked colonizers; I say this plainly. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason: to destroy the works of the devil.


Yet this is why we love our enemy. This is why we do good to those who oppose us, overcoming evil with love and kindness and bringing no harm. Let our enemies bring torment upon themselves, as it is written in Psalm 37:13, that the Lord laughs at the wicked, for He knows their day is coming.


“I also will laugh at their calamity; I will mock when your fear comes.” Oh, how great that day will be. I forgive the wicked colonizers. Though they have colonized the earth, a day is coming when my Lord will take back what is His. On that day, justice will be fulfilled, and righteousness will stand.


Let the wicked colonizers give themselves over to their own hearts and desires—to what they love most, their unrighteous deeds—remaining unwilling to change.


The wicked colonizers follow their father, the devil, and their will is to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. For every land he has colonized, he bears responsibility for the destruction across the earth.


My Indigenous people, be sober-minded and watchful. Your adversary, the colonizer, prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. The wicked colonizer disguises himself as an angel of light, even advertising Christianity. Be on guard so that we are not outwitted, for we are not ignorant of his tactics.


We know that the colonizer, like a thief, comes only to steal, kill, and destroy—taking resources from your land and attempting to reshape you into his likeness. When these colonized men appear, indigenous brothers and sisters give no opportunity to the devil. We know that we are from God, while the world that follows the colonizer’s way of life loves destruction. They are blind and empowered by the evil one.


You see, wisdom is too high for fools; therefore I will not become upset with evildoers or be envious of the wicked.


For the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked colonizers will be burned out.

I will not gloat when my enemy falls; when they stumble, I will not let my heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn His wrath away from them.


O Lord, let us be distinguished, that we may heap burning coals upon our enemy’s head. Let our righteousness of love convict them. O Lord, set us apart, that through patience, mercy, and steadfast love we may overcome evil with good.


We have separated ourselves, and we are nothing like the wicked colonizers. O Lord, let us be distinguished. We do not come to deceive others or take life by placing stumbling blocks, creating destruction, or stealing resources from other lands. We do not lead people to idolize what has been stolen, nor do we kill your people, enslave nations, or delight in weaponry. These are the works of the evil one.


Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked, or stand in the way that sinners take, or sit in the company of mockers. Our sins were made with a blind eye. With your mercy, O Lord, we are nothing like the evil one. Let us be distinguished. 


يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّبِعْ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ مَا زَكَىٰ مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَبَدًۭا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ٢١

Surah An-Nur - 21

O believers! Do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Whoever follows Satan’s footsteps, then ˹let them know that˺ he surely bids ˹all to˺ immorality and wickedness. Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy upon you, none of you would have ever been purified. But Allah purifies whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.


We have awakened, and we see that the great dragon has been thrown down—that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was cast down to the earth, and his children with him, seeking to deceive and dominate.


If God is for us, who can be against us? O Lord, let us be distinguished. We are nothing like they are, even though they try to alter us. They cannot change what God has created.

Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
Grace and peace.

Risala 14 – Expectations and Warnings

October 24, 2026


Trey Knowles: Risala 14 – Expectations and Warnings

Brothers and sisters of the House of Jacob, do not allow anyone to discriminate against you, for we belong to the Lord. A woman cannot live in a house with two husbands. The one she loves, she obeys, and the spirit of their flesh becomes one. You can only have one Father, not two. If you contaminate water, it is no longer water. Take what is pure and be married to it. Bless the spirit that brings forth light, that shines over darkness, and that comes in peace. If you marry something that is not pure, the subject of the kingdom of God becomes violent. Do not permit yourselves to be shaped by man-made systems of religion. The pure and faultless religion that God our Father accepts is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to remain unpolluted by the world, as written in James 1:27.


Be on guard against the elemental spirits of the world—principles that shape worldly values and often oppose God’s perspective. Some church operations will try to take you captive, seeking money for their own gain. Yet our Heavenly Father is already rich; every animal of the forest is His, and the cattle on a thousand hills belong to Him. Our Lord has already blessed you.


Beware of religious institutions that my Lord Yeshua did not establish. They are often designed to draw you into the world, which stands against our Father in heaven. You do not belong to them; you belong to your Father who is in heaven.


Our Lord does not desire that we live in chains, but that we experience a prosperous life by abiding in Him through the Spirit. You have one Lord and one Teacher—Yeshua. You have one Father in heaven; do not elevate any man on earth as a spiritual authority in place of Him. True worship is in the Spirit of Yeshua, reflecting the character and likeness of the Father. Remain in the Spirit, and do not allow those who display a form of godliness without truth to trouble your mind with their foolishness.


The clothes you wear do not cause you to sin; my Lord never commanded a shirt and tie. Music itself does not cause sin, but be mindful of what comes from your mouth, for it can produce both blessings and curses. The food you eat does not cause you to sin, nor does braided hair. Such judgments are prejudiced and do not come from our Lord Yeshua, but from the evil one. Stay away from pagan holidays and empty worldly practices unless you wish to become enslaved by them. When you did not know God, you were enslaved to things that by nature are not gods. Study their history and reject what opposes the truth.


What causes sin, brothers and sisters, is what comes out of a person—from the heart.

Do not become entangled in their foolishness, for their teachings often come from corrupt influences—those who deny the power of God and are corrupted in faith. As written in 2 Timothy 3:5, they have “the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”


If they truly followed Yeshua, it would be evident in their fruit: obedience to God through faith. Even the wind and the sea obey Him. As written in Matthew 8:27, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him.”

Be cautious of teachings that claim we cannot be holy and will always remain sinners, for this denies the power of the Lord Yeshua. When you truly love the Lord, you keep His commandments. Whoever the Lord makes clean is clean indeed from unrighteousness.


Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. It is written, “Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15–16). This is what our Father expects. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but loves those who pursue righteousness. Do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous.


Do not be impressed by large followings or megachurches. There will come a time when the Lord will say, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!”


وَيَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٌۭ مِّنْهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَآ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٤٧

Surah An-Nur 47–54: The hypocrites say, “We believe in Allah and the Messenger, and we obey.” Then a group of them turns away afterward. These are not true believers.


My Lord does not change. As David wrote in Psalm 119:89, “Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.”


Yeshua is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Know this, House of Jacob: our Lord and our God loves us, and this has not changed. Therefore, O children of Jacob, you are not consumed.

Sincerely,
Trey Knowles — Grace and peace.

Why Not are They Being Purged?

Why Not Are They Being Purged?

How can the Spirit of God dwell in the house of the devil? How can holiness coexist with wickedness, or righteousness make its home where sin is welcomed and celebrated?


In "Why Not Are They Being Purged?" Trey Knowles presents a powerful spiritual examination of a world that claims to know God while continuing to embrace the very things that oppose His character.


The question is not simply why evil exists, but why people expect the presence of God to remain where corruption, deception, pride, and rebellion are allowed to rule.


God calls His people to be holy, to separate themselves from darkness, and to become vessels of righteousness. Yet many desire the blessings of God without surrendering the ways of the world.


As 1 Corinthians 6:19 reminds us, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. If we are truly God's dwelling place, should we not remove everything that defiles His temple?


This message challenges every individual to examine the spiritual condition of their own house. Purging is not about destroying people; it is about removing the wickedness within, turning away from sin, and allowing God's truth to cleanse the heart.


The question remains: If the house belongs to God, why are we still making room for the devil?

"Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." — 2 Corinthians 6:17 




Risala 13 – Your Poverty

Trey Knowles: Risala 13 – Your Poverty

Why don’t I recognize you? What is this image you glorify? What is it that you display on your body? You are adopting practices of pagan nations—tattoos and self-cutting. Is this how you choose to honor my Lord Yeshua? Look around—how many do you see who are unmarked? Those who are marked claim wisdom, yet they become fools, exchanging the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal human beings, birds, animals, and reptiles.


My Lord created your inmost being; He knit you together in your mother’s womb. Why do you smoke? Why do you use drugs? I do not know the spirit that has you entangled. Do you not see the sorcerers—the scientists you have made rich—who are making you sick and slowly killing you? Why do you place your faith in what is trying to destroy you? Are these drug dealers protected by governing bodies, influencing, advertising, and commercializing the temptation of your addiction? Have you not realized that you are being tempted by Satan’s cabinet?



Therefore, those who practice such murderous sorcery and deception will face judgment and will not enter the kingdom of heaven, for this kind of work does not come from my Father, but from the devil himself.


Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.

Why do you drink alcohol? Is not my Lord’s Spirit good enough for you? My Lord has made you rich in the Spirit. Since you choose to drink alcohol, let it become a curse to you. For Solomon spoke wisely: “Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.”


Do not be upset; it is you who contaminate the Spirit of God. And it is written in 1 Corinthians 3:17: “If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.”


For those who suppress the truth, you become so far gone, so depraved that you cannot distinguish right from wrong. You align yourself with your own destruction, yet this is your choice. The acts of your own flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you that those who live in such unrepentant behavior will not inherit the kingdom of God. If you love God our Father, and if you love the Lord, keep the commandments of God.


You already know that you shall not kill, for this commandment was written in stone by God. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.


Why do you empower yourself with weapons? Is this something you spiritually idolize? Why is there destruction in your heart, and why do you hold a spirit of revenge? You may have the right to carry, but why not carry the Spirit of the Lord? I worry for you, because you are becoming like those who glorify violence—colonizers with transportation vehicles, those who carry swords and guns and indoctrinate revenge through books and television, empowering themselves through threats of shedding blood. Do not become like them. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.



What do you do with these detestable acts? Such deeds lead to death and become an abomination. They exchange what is natural and pursue what is driven by lust. They become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. I look around and see churches on every corner, yet righteousness is far away.



Although they know God’s righteous decree—that those who do such things deserve judgment—they not only continue in these acts but also approve of those who practice them, celebrating what should bring repentance.


The wicked will reap what they sow, because they denied the Spirit which my Father has given. This is the reason for their poverty.

For what agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?

لۡ يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

“O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of God, Indeed, God forgives all sins. Truly, He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.” Not willing for anyone to perish but come to repentance.

Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
Grace and Peace.

And the Evil One Manipulated Their Hearts and Minds to Attack the Children of God

October 23, 2026



"And the Evil One Manipulated Their Hearts and Minds to Attack the Children of God"


In a world where deception disguises itself as truth and darkness seeks to overpower the light, Trey Knowles delivers a powerful spiritual message in "And the Evil One Manipulated Their Hearts and Minds to Attack the Children of God."
This thought-provoking message exposes the spiritual battle between good and evil, revealing how hatred, jealousy, fear, and manipulation can corrupt the hearts and minds of people, turning them against those who walk in faith and righteousness.
Through a bold and uncompromising message, Trey Knowles reminds listeners that the true enemy is not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to divide, deceive, and destroy.
Inspired by the biblical truth of Ephesians 6:12, this message calls God's children to remain spiritually awake, stand firm in truth, resist deception, and respond to hatred with faith, wisdom, and love.
The enemy may manipulate hearts and minds, but he cannot overcome the truth of God. Darkness may rise against God's children, but the light of Yeshua will never be defeated.
This is more than a message of warning. It is a call for spiritual discernment, courage, unity, and unwavering faith in Yeshua.
"And the Evil One Manipulated Their Hearts and Minds to Attack the Children of God" — by Trey Knowles. Stand firm in truth. Walk in love. Do not let darkness control your heart.

Are You Dead or Alive?

October 21, 2026

 Trey Knowles Presents: "Are You Dead or Alive?"





Are you spiritually alive, or are you already dead while still walking among the living?
In his powerful and thought-provoking message, "Are You Dead or Alive?", Trey Knowles challenges humanity to examine the spirit living within them. God entrusted you with His Spirit, but what have you done with it? Have you displayed His righteousness, multiplied His goodness, and produced the fruits of His Spirit? Or have you buried what God gave you and surrendered yourself to the spirit of Satan—the spirit of oppression, domination, deception, and colonization?

Trey Knowles explains that those who refuse to demonstrate God's Spirit through love, truth, righteousness, mercy, and obedience are spiritually dead, even though their bodies remain alive. Instead of following the example of the Lord Yeshua, they have chosen to imitate the ways of the enemy, embracing worldly power, greed, superiority, and the desire to control others.
God did not give you His Spirit so you could hide it. He gave it to you so His light could shine through you.
Drawing inspiration from the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19:11–27, Trey Knowles examines the responsibility of every servant entrusted with something valuable by the King. Those who faithfully multiply what they receive demonstrate their loyalty, while those who reject the King's authority face judgment.
Luke 19:27 (NIV) "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."
This powerful and sobering verse concludes Yeshua's parable with an image of royal judgment. Trey Knowles uses this passage to challenge listeners to consider the seriousness of rejecting God's authority. The verse belongs to a parable and should be understood as a warning about judgment, not a command for believers to harm others.

Are you a faithful servant of the Lord Yeshua, or have you become an enemy of His Kingdom through the spirit you choose to follow?

Being spiritually alive is more than claiming to believe in God. It means displaying His character through your actions, multiplying what He has entrusted to you, loving your neighbor, standing against injustice, and refusing to participate in the oppressive ways of this world.

Trey Knowles delivers a message of spiritual accountability, urging everyone to examine their hearts before the King returns.

The question is not simply whether you are breathing. The question is whether the Spirit of God is living and working through you. Are You Dead or Alive?
