A sealed book

Among the estimated 600 million evangelicals in the world, there is widespread ignorance of the teachings of the bible. When Jesus was on earth, he spoke to the people in parables. and his disciples asked him, what the parable meant? "And he said, unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand (Luke 8:10). The parables were spoken to hide the meaning of the word from those who were not of God.

Despite that revelation, a vast army of deceived preachers think that Jesus came into the world to save anyone who wants to come to him. They don't understand that God foreordained, before the foundation of the world those that will be saved(Eph.1:4-5). These are called, "Vessels of mercy."

A sealed book

The bible was probably the first book ever written. It was written in eternity, and sealed with seven seals. No one but the father knew of its existence; not even the angels in heaven. Its content was hidden from everyone, including Jesus.

When John was taken up into heaven, he saw the book in the right hand of the father thus: "And I saw in the right of him that sat on the throne a book written and on the backside, sealed with seven seals (Rev.5:1-5). John added, "And I saw a strong angel with a loud voice, proclaiming who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?"

The text continues, "And no man in heaven, nor in earth. or under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon." And I weep much, and he was told, "Weep not. behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof."

From what we just read, we learned that only Jesus is qualified to reveal what is written in what we called, the bible. God, the father, gave the revelation to Jesus (Heb.1:1-2). Jesus gave the revelation to the Holy Spirit, to give to the church (Rev.3:6). Jesus also said, Howbeit when the spirit of truth is come...(John 16:13-14). On the first Pentecost after Jesus's resurrection, the Holy Spirit gave the revelation to the church, in a blaze of glory. Tne Apstles were able to speak in several different languages, that astonished their listeners.

A vast Army

Today, we have a vast army of deceived, deluded men claiming to understand the bible. yet, none of these men have received the gift of the Holy Spirit. To them, the bible is a sealed book, written in parables.

Pentecost

Sadly, the holy days were neither properly understood in Israel nor The Worldwide Church of God.

The Holy Days

Passover mirrors Atonement. The Passover took place on earth, but the Atonement occurred in heaven (Heb.9:1-2). The seven days of unleavened bread, described by the Chosen Vessel, as "the bread of sincerity and truth" (1Cor.5:1-8) Those days are mirrored by the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, which represent the eternal rest in the kingdom of God. Anyone without the virtues of sincerity and truth will not be there.

The duality and the final events of the Feast of Trumpets are wrapped in a recondite mystery, which can't be understood by the carnal mind. The term recondite was not chosen by me, but by the Holy Spirit. I am the only person on earth who use the term recondite, and have some understanding of what it means.

Pentecost

As I stated earlier, Pentecost is a mirror image of the last great day of The Feast of Tabernacles. It is a day of judgment: when God reveals who will be saved by the gift of the holy spirit, and who will perish without it.

When Jesus was on earth, it is recorded thus "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood, and cried, saying, "if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:37-38). The Apostle John added, (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Tragically, the remnant of Israel, who are children of the bond woman. They don't believe in Jesus. Hence, God allowing the attack on the 7 October 2023 It was the day of judgment. 

Is anyone so foolish as to believe, that God was unware of Hamas's plans?

Evil Inventions

 The Chosen Vessel in his sublime, recondite eplstle to the Romans, listed the vices that have produced the wretchedness of the human condition thus: (Rom.1:21-32). In that list we have, "the inventors of evil things."

Toledo

Ever since the fall of the Roman Empire, and the period, called the dark ages, there were very few evil inventions. But after the discovery of the library in Toledo, Spain, where the writings of the Greeks and Roman were rescued from destruction, many men interested in learning, headed for Toledo. That was the renaissance, or the rebirth of learning.

Who are the inventors

Since that time, we have had hundreds of evil inventions. Both theoretical and practical. But the question that demands an answer is this, who are the people, that are primarily responsible for the evil inventions in the world? These evil inventions, goaded by the devil, have driven humanity to the edge of disaster. If Jesus doesn't return before 2054, no flesh wil be save alive. But for the elect sake, he will return.

The inventions

The atomic bomb is perhaps the most evil invention known to man. It was deliberately developed to kill people. On the day that it was is was successfully tested Oppenheimer observed: "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." But is it? Are there other evil inventions, masquerading as helpful products,  that have killed and are killing more people than the atomic bomb?

Pesticides

The gods of science looked at the creatures in the soil, and decided that they are pests, and must be killed. So the gods invented pesticides, that is sprayed by men in protected suits. Yet, the gods assure humanity that pesticides are safe to use on the land. But God created  the creatures in the soil for a special purpose, of which the gods of science are ignorant.

Still, the gods of science who think they know better than God, the Almighty, kill the creatures, poison the land, the animals, the food and our bodies. Then when people get sick, the gods recommend medicines, produced by witchcraft, to kill the sick. For experience has shown that sick people don't get better, unless it is a minor injury. There is no cure for cancer, despite the billions spent on research. No cure for heart disease, high blood pressure, or any other serious illness. Bit Satan has deceived humanity into believing, the gods of science can save them.

Medicines

Is the contraceptive pill an evil invention? In the past 70 years, it has killed more men and women than the Atomic bomb, and all the other weapons of war combined. Millions of women die every single year from gynecological rated cancers: from breasts to ovarian cancers, caused by women taking the contraceptive pill.

God says, people who invent evil things are worthy of death. Read it, if you dare.

To be ecological

Jesus is God

The war between Islam and Judaism will lead to the extermination of both religions and their people. The reason is, neither Islam nor Judaism accept that Jesus is God and the son of God.

As Islam has the Koran, and Israel the Torah, I don't know if they ever read the New Testament, written by the Apostles of Jesus Christ. But the New Testament is the revelation of what was concealed in the Torah until the coming of Jesus. 

The Coming of Jesus 

Over 600 years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah was inspired to write: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6),. The fulfillment of this prophecy is recorded in Matthew 1:18, and Luke 1:26-31.

The angel Gabriel went on to say: (He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God: shall give unto him the throne of his father David (Luke 1:32).

The Rejection

Yet, Jesus was and is, to this day, rejected by the remnant of Israel, who deny that Jesus is both God and the son of God.

The fact that Islam doesn't recognise him as the son of God is irrelevant, as Islam is paganism, and its followers neither read the Torah nor the New Testament

Yet, the Chosen Vessel in his sublime epistle to the Hebrews, was inspired to write: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken unto us by his son...(Heb.1:1-2). Also, in the gospel of John we read: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1-2)

Later we read: "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us(verse14). That is, God was made flesh, and dwelt among us  (1Tim.3:16). Great indeed, is the mystery of godliness.

John also says, "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not(John 1:10).

I appreciate that this sublime, recondite mystery can't be understood by people who don't have the holy spirit of truth. 

Anti Christ

People who deny that Jesus is the son of God are anti Christ, and they will perish. The Apostle John was inspired to write: "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti Christ. (2 John 1:7).

It says, "many deceivers are entered into the world. From where did they come? They were seeded by deceived fathers, and deceived women gave birth to them.  If we examine the religions of the world, such as, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and all the other satanic religions that deny the son of God, Jesus Christ, we are driven to conclude that the vast majority of the people on the earth will perish.

All the people that follow these religions are, "vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction (Rom.9:22). events leading to their destruction are terrifying.

At a later date, I will post the frightful details.

*****

The Second Temple

We know from scripture that God wanted Israel to build a second temple. The order to do so was given by Cyrus, the Persian. The details are set out in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The children of Israel were persecuted by various people, and God removed them to allow the building of the temple to continue. 

Later, Israel was distracted by their own interest, and the building of the temple had been neglected. So God sent Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Josedech, the high priest, saying: "Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying, this people say, the time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built." (Hag.1-2)."

"Then came the word of Lord by Haggai the prophet saying. is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?(Hag.1:3-4).

The people were about to be confronted with God's judgment for neglecting to first build God's house.

The Judgment

God told the people thus: "Consider your ways." In our modern world of dishonesty, decadence and depravity, people plunge themselves into all kinds of immorality without thought, and later, they suffer the frightful consequences. They don't consider their ways.

However, God said: "You have sown much, and brought in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink: you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes." (Hag.1:6)

That meant that God had withdrawn his blessings from the people, because they had placed their interest before the interest of God,  When Jesus was on earth, he emphasised  the need to first seek the kingdom of God, and then God will bless you. (Matt.6:33).

In summary

The people responded to God's admonition, and went to mountain and brought the materials to finish the house of God. So God, the ever faithful and loving God, told the people: "I will bless you"(Hag.2:18-19).

 Finally

It should be evident that if God wanted a third temple, it would have been built years ago, and anyone resisting its building would have been put to death. 

Sadly, the people that returned to Israel in 1948, are a remnant of the bond woman.

A Third Temple

 Since 1948 there has been much talk about the building of a third temple, and since October 7th, the day of the Hamas attack, we have seen a small army of zealous, but ignorant men, speculating about a third temple. Yet, there are no scriptural texts that say, God wants Israel to build a third temple.

Furthermore, Israel could not build a third temple, to please God, while the Dome of the rock is still standing. For as Islam is a pagan religion, that had its origin in the mind of the devil, the Dome is a desecration of the temple mount, and the God of Israel would demand that it be pulled down before the building of a third temple.

Sadly, we are livin in a deceived world, where people believe that all religions should be respected. That is not the teaching of Jesus Christ. He said, "I will build my church, and gates of hell shall not prevail against it"(Matt.16:18). "The gates of hell shall not prevail," means that Satan will not be able to destroy his church, which is his spiritual body. Also, the apostles were inspired to add, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men , whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

A life of fear

Yet, nominal and even sometimes true Christians are terrified to speak out against paganism, in all its satanic forms. The Christian is told not to be afraid of anything or anyone. Note the sublime testimony of king David, a man beloved of the Lord, when he said: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life' of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps.27:1-2).

Those emphatic, rhetorical questions, teach us not to be afraid of anyone. Also, the inspired words of John are these, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love" (1 John 4:18).

To be continued

Zeal withou knowledge.

Today, as never before, there are armies of nominal Christians, all claiming to represent Jesus. We have the so-called bible belt in America, including a vast army of misguided men and women, that were former members of The Worldwide Church of God, who have now arrogated to themselves the responsibility to preach, what they foolishly think is, the gospel. In addition, we have a larger army emerging from beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, motivated by vanity and money, claiming to represent God. Some have been even so mad, that they have usurped the titles and offices of Apostle, Prophet and Evangelist.

As one of the signs of the last days, Jesus prophesied the coming of these misguided people thus: Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many (Matt.24:4-5). These misguided men's zeal is motivated by vanity, power and greed. That is because they are ministers of Satan. Paul also observed thu: "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, buy not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness (Rom.10:2-3).

Ignorance of God's word

In the first century, Paul and Barnabas came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. "And after the reading of the law and the prophets. the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, you men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Then Paul stood up, and outlined the history of Israel, and concluded by saying: "For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him (Acts 13:27).

These inspired words of Paul, are as true today as they were in the first century. As a results of pure zeal, today, the law and the prophets are read in synagogues around the world, every Sabbath day, but the readers don't understand what they are reading. The readers, today as in first century are ignorant of the "voices of the prophets."

The same is true of the vast army of religious zealots, that preach to their deluded, docile congregations every Sunday. It is estimated that there are 600 million evangelicals in the world, with 60 million in America. These people passionately sing songs, say Amen, but they don't understand the wholesome teachings of Jesus Christ, neither do they have the love of God, which leads to obedience.
