For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4 Are you a believer who has a "full plate" always moving, gathering never giving? Or are you a "hungry" believer who desire to be filled so badly you will just eat anything? What about those who serve as YHVH's leaders in "His House…, Positively and/or negatively…..does the state of leaders in bible times reflect the state of leaders now? Is the Word in you, discerning you so you may be a discerner of the voice of YHVH and example of Yeshua to know good and evil, by His Spirit to obtain His riches or, do you do things according to your desires/feelings? Are you stretching /growing in Him through correction or a creature of what's comfortable, habitual, easy? Will tribulation and suffering be the catalyst for many to make a solid decision for truth? Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
