This parable is very important to the true believer. It will however when explained be devastating to those who are unbelievers but have done all the things that would make them appear as a believer. The true believer and the false believer are what is spoken of here. The old garment is the lot we were born with, our true spiritual DNA. On earth there are a mixed lot . The children of God and the children of the devil. At the end of times I speak and separate the lots. Those who can believe me are true believers those who cannot are unbelievers disguised as believers with religion and the traditions of men. My words separate the lots , tearing apart the new garment (religion) from the old (the lots). It is the same for the old and the new wine skins. If you have read these words you already know where you belong. If my words comfort you or deeply disturb you it is to late if you read them.

Old must not add with the New. If it happens worse will be happened.
