II TIMOTHY 3:13,14 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, Knowing Of Whom Thou Hast Learned Them;
We are told in the Scriptures to "know of whom we are learning from". What does that person believe? Is he preaching lies or truth? Is he a deceiver or one sent from God? That is one of the most important questions you must ask yourself when listening to someone. And there are many voices saying many different things these days.
There has always been a battle between the Children of the Devil and the Children of God as to who is teaching Truth and who is Deceiving the people. Children of the devil, who usually are the ones that hold high positions in the church and state, of course say that the children of God, which usually are very few in number, and are not part of the organized church, are the ones deceiving the people. And then you have the Children of God saying that its the self rightious Religious Leaders that are deceiving the people.
On the one hand you have a group of men that are well known, and who are before the people all the time. They usually are liked by the people, as they are there when they have problems. They perform the marriages, and are there to comfort at the death of loved ones. They rally the people together to help one another and generally encourage the people that everything is O.K., that their sins are forgiven, and they are going to heaven.
And then here comes somebody that nobody knows, and who does not belong to any church, saying that their Pastors and Leaders are of the devil, or that they are blind to the Truth, and that they should not follow their doctrines. Who are you going to believe, and how are you going to determine who is speaking the Truth? This question and this situation has been placed before the people since the beginning of the Jewish Church. And once again it is placed before you.
JOHN 7:14-17 Now about the midst of the feast
Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying,
How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Jesus answered them,
and said,
My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it
be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
MATTHEW 23:29-34
Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets,
and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in
the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in
the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that
ye
are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Fill ye up
then the measure of your fathers.
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Wherefore, behold, I send
unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall
kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,
and persecute them from city to city:
JOHN 8:39-48 They answered and said unto him,
Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children,
ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that
hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God
were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from
God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Why do ye not understand
my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in
him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is
a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe
me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
do ye not believe me?
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore
hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Then answered the Jews,
and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast
a devil?
MATTHEW 16:12 Then understood they how that he
bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
MATTHEW 15:12-14 Then came his disciples, and
said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they
heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone:
they
be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall
fall into the ditch.
We are in the final generation before the Coming of Christ. And there will be One Last Message by God to the Peoples of the Earth. And your going to have to choose whither to Believe and Follow and Support the Roman Catholic Church and her Daughters the Protestant Churches or the Message of the Hour from God. So Brethren take a good look at your church. By the Word you can see that these Man Made Organizations, are not Preaching Jesus Christ the Word, but their own Private interpretations of the Scripture. Their not tring to get people into Christ, but into their own Denomination . One of the First things they ask you when you go to these Churches is, "do you belong to any other church? What church were you Baptized in? Would you like to be a Member of This Church, and be Baptized by us?" They want you to be Identified with their Church Organization. They want you to take the Mark of the Beast. And it will come to that Place in Time were you will have to be Identified with a Religious Church Organization, or with the Gentile Remnant who is Identified with Jesus Christ the Word. These are the Gentile Saints that will follow the Message of that Hour.
REVELATION 14:9-13 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
The term "Message of the Hour" simply means, 'Scripture that is being Fulfilled and Taught "in that" time period or season.'
John the Baptist knew what day and hour he was in, by the Scriptures, and therefore prepared the people by Teaching, to receive the Messiah. There was only a handful of people prepared, but the Word was Fulfilled. This was the next Phase of God's unfolding plan.
JOHN 1:19-23 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Jesus by the Scriptures told the people what day and hour they were in, and Taught the people about the Kingdom of God. He plainly told them what Phase in God's unfolding plan was being fulfiled. They should have known by John the Baptist's ministry, that the Messiah was next to appear on the scene. John the Baptist even pointed to the Messiah and said thats Him, there He IS. There was nothing hid, nothing done in secret, it was plainly Spoken by both John and Jesus. And the Works, or to say, the Events that followed proved what Day and Hour it was.
LUKE 4:17-21 And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found
the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to
heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach
the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it
again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were
in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them,
This
day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
JOHN 5:36 But I have greater witness than that
of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish,
the
same works that I do, bear witness of me
, that the Father hath
sent me.
JOHN 10:24-27 Then came the Jews round about
him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be
the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed
not:
the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of
me.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
unto
you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Peter on the Day of Pentecost referred to the Scriptures when the Question came up as to the Event that was happening. Many had their own interpretations to what it meant, but they was not using the Word to interpret this Event. Also Peters explanation of this Event lined up with the next Phase that was to happen in God's Unfolding Mystery. First , John the Baptist with the Spirit of Elijah on him had prepared the people by his Message to receive the Messiah. Second , The Messiah came, Jesus the Christ, in the Office as Son of Man, A Prophet, and fulfilled all that was Written of Him. He was that Prophet that Moses Spoke about. The Next thing to happen, the Third Phase , which came not by a human Messenger, but by the Spirit of God Himself, was that His Bride was to be Born and Manifest His Creative and Supernatural Power, and so begin Her Journey through the Seven Ages . Peter knew what Hour it was, and his Message taught the people what to do in that hour.
ACTS 2:12-17 And they were all amazed, and were
in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth this?
Others
mocking said, These men are full of new wine. But Peter, standing up with
the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea,
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken
to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but
the third hour of the day. But
this is that
which was spoken
by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith
God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams:
ACTS 2:37-39 Now
when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart
, and said unto Peter and to the
rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all
that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
These Three Events was to repeat themselves at the End of the Gentile Dispensation . Even as they occurred at the End of the Jewish Dispensation. The First thing, A man with the Spirit of Elijah was to prepare the People for the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. Second , Jesus Christ would Reveal Himself once again as Son of Man, working through a son of man in the Office of a Prophet to the Gentile Peoples and not the Jews. It would be World Wide, well Known, and Not Hidden. Even as He Revealed Himself the First Time to the Jews and Not the Gentiles. And as the Jews were Blinded that they would not Receive Him, even so would the Gentiles be Blinded that they would not receive Him. He would be out side the Churches Knocking tring to get in. But they would Reject His Word even as the Jews Rejected His Word. Then when these things are fulfiled, the Third Event begins. Jesus Christ Himself not a man, would come to His Bride and Quicken Her once again to a Life of the Supernatural with the Creative Ability of God through His Name. For She fell and died at Nicaea Rome in 325 AD, when the Roman Catholic Church Organized, (they were those Tares that Satan planted,) and began her Journey through the Seven Church Ages as Mystery Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth. But that Same Bride Seed, that Wheat that fell would be once again Quickened to Life. There would be One Last Move for the Bride.
MALACHI 4:5,6 Behold, I will send you
Elijah
the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the LORD: And
he shall turn the
heart of the fathers to the
children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers
,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
MATTHEW 17:10-13 And his disciples asked him,
saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus
answered and said unto them,
Elias truly shall first come, and restore
all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and
they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise
shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood
that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
LUKE 17:22-25 And he said unto the disciples,
The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the
days of
the Son of man
, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to
you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. For as
the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth
unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his
day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
MATTHEW 13:24-30 Another parable put he forth
unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed
good seed in his field: But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed
tares among the wheat
, and went his way. But
when the blade
was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also
.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not
thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said
unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou
then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather
up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together
until the harvest: and in the
time of harvest
I will say
to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles
to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
MATTHEW 13:37-39 He answered and said unto them,
He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world;
the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the
tares are
the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil
;
the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
JOHN 12:23-25 And Jesus answered them, saying,
The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth
his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall
keep it unto life eternal.
I PETER 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth
for ever.
William Marrion Branham was the Fulfillment of Malachi 4:5,6. There has never been a Prophet that was a Gentile sent to the Gentiles in the History of the Church Ages. He was that Prophet that Jesus spoke about would come and Restore the Bride in the Spirit of Elijah. He Spoke "Thus Saith The Lord", Thousands of times in Public, and of which was recorded on Tape. And Every Time It Came To Pass. This is the Sign of a True Prophet from God, a son of man, not like these Hundreds of False Prophets we have now which speak in the Name of the Lord, and when it don't come to pass they explain it away. William Branham had the Biggest Revival Meetings than any other Revival Meetings in the History of the Church. He Preached around the world, Seven Times. His Ministry began in 1933 and lasted until 1965 when the Lord took him home. The Power of God was always present with Signs and Wonders following the Spoken Word. And of course he was rejected by the Organized Religious Churches, as he Taught the True Word of God . What True Prophet was ever Received and Accepted by the Religious Churches? Even today when ministers of these Organized Churches speak of him, they lie about what he said, because they don't want the people to listen to what he had to say, or they Quote him falsely, as to back up their own ministry. There is over 1100 taped Sermons that you can listen to yourself, if you really want to know what he really Taught. So when you see all these, so-called prophets, received and accepted by the Religious Churches, don't that make you think something isn't quite right? They are Suducers, False Prophets, Serpent Seed, sent to Deceive the Peoples of the Earth with their False Doctrines. They are Children of the Devil, Liars just like their father.
September 26, 1965 in East Timor,Indonesia ; That night a Revival began with the Same Events that happened on the Day of Pentecost. These people were not expecting such an event to happpen in their cold dead church. But all of a Sudden the Rushing of a Mighty Wind filled the church, with a Visible Holy Ghost Fire (which prompted police in their station across the street to set off the fire alarm and summon volunteer firefighters), people started speaking in Languages that they did not know, including English, and there were many conversions and infillings with the Holy Spirit. By midnight, teams of what were laymen, now were sent by Jesus Christ to Preach the Gospel. The Miracles, Signs and Wonders, that followed this Revival, are Greater, and more numerous, than any Revival in the History of the Church . And these came not solely by ministers, as in the past, but through the Christians, the Bride and Body of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ Himself was there with them, Teaching Them, and Leading Them. Jesus was the Messenger, and they was the Message. They were Written Epistles declaring that the Move was on for the Bride. And that it was Harvest Time, God was gathering in His Wheat from around the World. As this Revival did go around the World. It was well Known, not hidden, but Revealed before the world. Those that were Ordained to Life Believed, and all the rest were Blinded to this Great Gospel Light.
This Revival fell right in place with the next Phase that was to take place in God's Great Unfolding Revelation . And yet you have many that say, it wasn't the fulfillment of that Bride being Quickened into Life. They can't deny that a Great Event was happening among these people, but they fail to see that Promised Word Being Fulfilled. I've heard some say that, "God was just helping these poor ignorant People, that Scripturally it means nothing, and it has nothing to do with the Promises that are to be Fulfilled by that Bride", others that "it was a trick of the Devil, to deceive the people that the Move was on for the Bride". So you have that very same thing that happened when the Bride was First Brought to Life, that Question of the people," What Meaneth This"? And of course your going to have those that Mock at the Manifestation of the Word being Fulfilled. They won't go to The Word to explain this Event, but will give you their private interpretation, their own opinion . But what I'm saying, by the Revelation of the Lord shown to me, that "This is That" which was Spoken of by the Prophets.
Paul the Apostle was given the full Revelation that God was going to choose a people for His Name out of the Nations, which was to be His Bride. The Jewish believers in Israel did not understand this, including Peter. They couldn't understand how a Different Revival,( yet with the same Signs that Followed the Original Revial,) could take place outside of Israel, the country were the Bride Seed Revival was held. And how it could be happening to a bunch of so called Heathens who didn't even hear the Message of Elijah the Prophet, and knew nothing about The Son of Man being Revealed. How could they be part of the Bride? But they failed to see that Promised Word being Fulfilled . You see, these Jews who followed the Message of Elijah and were under the Ministry of The Son Of Man, were expecting the Prophecies of the Prophets to be fulfilled in and by them. They knew not that Dispensations were changing, that the Jewish Branch was being Broken off, and that the Gentile Branch was being Grafted IN. They couldn't see that the Move was on for the Bride. Yet they couldn't Deny that God was doing something among these people.
ACTS 11:1-4 And the apostles and brethren that
were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem,
they that were of the circumcision
contended with him
, Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised,
and didst eat with them. But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning,
and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
ACTS 11:15-18 And as I began to speak,
the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Then remembered
I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch then as
God
gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus
Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
When they heard
these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath
God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
To those in Israel Paul was an outsider. As he was not part of their inner circle, because he believed differently than everybody else pertaining to what Day and Hour it was. And he Taught Doctrines that those Jewish Brethren didn't understand. Yet he always Stayed with the Word of God. He even had to Rebuke Peter and some other influential Jews one time as they was representing the Gospel of Jesus Christ Falsely. Althrough they Heard the Message of John the Baptist, and sat under the Ministry of Jesus, they still didn't have the Revelation Of That Message. But it was Revealed unto Paul. Peter held the Keys, but Paul held the Revelation.
II PETER 3:15,16 And account that the longsuffering
of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according
to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his
epistles, speaking in them of these things;
in which are some things
hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest
,
as
they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
GALATIANS 2:6-16
But of these who seemed
to be somewhat,
(
whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter
to me: God accepteth no man's person
:) for they who seemed to be
somewhat in conference added nothing to me: But contrariwise, when they
saw that
the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me,
as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
(For he that
wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the
same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and
John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto
me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that
we
should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Only
they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was
forward to do. But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the
face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James,
he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and
separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the
other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was
carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked
not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before
them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and
not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the
Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing
that
a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith
of Jesus Christ
, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we
might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the
law:
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
When Paul found out that Ministers from Judaea were teaching false doctrine to the Gentile Saints, he knew he needed to resolve this with those men that the "people" regarded as the Church Pillars. These Jewish Brethren thought that they needed to teach these Gentiles what they thought was the Message of the Hour, not knowing that these Gentiles was that Message being Revealed in flesh . And being that the Believers in Jerusalem would listen to the Word Of The Lord, because they had the Spirit of the Lord, the matter was resolved. They still did not fully understand, but the Spirit of God Revealed to them, by the Word, that they should not interfere with the Gentiles or the Message Paul was teaching to the Gentiles. And the Lord showed them by the Scriptures that it was the Hour and Time for this to happen. That this was indeed part of God's unfolding plan.
ACTS 15:1,2 And
certain men which came down
from Judaea taught the brethren
, and said, Except ye be circumcised
after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. When therefore
Paul
and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them
,
they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should
go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
ACTS 15:13-19 And after they had held their peace,
James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon hath
declared how
God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out
of them a people for his name.
And to this agree the words of the
prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again
the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the
ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek
after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith
the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Known unto God are all his
works from the beginning of the world.
Wherefore my sentence is,
that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
So at the Beginning of the Ages Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles , that Branch that was being Grafted in, and Peter was the Apostle to the Jews , that Branch that was being broken off. These Two Prophets Represented that Jewish Branch and that Gentile Branch. Even as there shall be Two Prophets at the End of the Ages which shall Represent that Jewish Branch and that Gentile Branch once again.
And of course the Religious Church Leaders never believe what Day and Hour they are in. They, because of Rejecting the Word, the Spirit of God, cannot perceive and believe what Day and Hour it is. And being that they deceive the people they themselves are deceived.
MATTHEW 16:1-3 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
People are either looking back to Scripture "that has been fulfilled" or looking forward to Scripture that is "going to be fulfilled" . They cannot see what Scriptures "are being fulfilled" in that Hour and Time. But God will send a Messenger to show the people, who are Elected To Believe, what Scriptures are being fulfilled at that time. He will always point to the Scriptures and say "this is that" being fulfilled. If what he says is happening, and it lines up with the Next Phase in God's Unfolding Plan, believe it, and you shall walk in the Light of the Hour. To reject it is to walk in Darkness.
ACTS 1:6,7 When they therefore were come together,
they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them,
It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his own
power.
MATTHEW 24:43-45 But know this, that if the goodman
of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore
be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who
then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over
his household, to give them meat in due season?
AMOS 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing,
but
he Revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
If someone came with a Message to build an Ark and preached that God was going to flood the earth. You know that "Message of the Hour" has already passed. That phase of the unfolding plan has been fulfilled. So you would not listen to him. Some Jews preach that the Messiah is coming to save them, and that it will happen soon. But that Jesus of Nazareth was not that Messiah. But according to the Scriptures, the Messiah has already come, and it was Jesus of Nazareth who Is the Anointed One. So they have the wrong Message of the Hour. That phase has already happened also.
The disciples of the Lord were concerned about what the Scribes were teaching . They proclaimed that Elijah Must come first before the Messiah came on the Scene. But they also thought that it would actually be Elijah of old. The real man, not a man with the Spirit of Elijah. So when John the Baptist denied that he was Elijah, it was because he knew what these Religious Leaders were looking for. And being that the Religious Jews did not believe that John the Baptist was the fulfillment of that Scripture, (for he himself denied that he was Elijah didn't he?) so they were teaching that Jesus could not be the Messiah.
JOHN 1:19-27 And this is the record of John, when
the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
And
he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they
asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who
art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest
thou of thyself? He said,
I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord,
as said the prophet Esaias.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and
said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor
Elias, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with
water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who
coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy
to unloose.
MATTHEW 17:10-13 And his disciples asked him,
saying,
Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And
Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore
all things. But I say unto you, That
Elias is come already, and they
knew him not,
but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise
shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood
that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Another Prophecy that the Jewish Church was using to try and prove that Jesus wasn't the Messiah, is that the Messiah would come out of Bethlehem. But they were injecting into that Prophecy that the Messiah would come out of Bethlehem when He "begins His Ministry". The Word does not say that. So by their Man Made Interpretations of the Word of God, they were Blinded to the Word being Fulfiled. And these False Doctrines taught by these Church Leaders also caused those who went to their Churches to Doubt those Scriptures that were being Fulfilled. The only ones that Accepted that Jesus was the Messiah, was those that looked at the Signs, the Works, and the Events, and knew that these things were to happen when that Promised Word was to be Fulfilled. They turned their ear away from the Church Leaders, and Listened to the Voice of the Sign . For that which was Promised was Happening.
MATTHEW 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of
Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda:
for out of thee
shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
LUKE 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
MATTHEW 2:1 Now when
Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judaea
in the days of Herod the king, behold, there
came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
LUKE 2:39 And when they had performed all things
according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their
own city Nazareth.
MATTHEW 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city
called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets,
He
shall be called a Nazarene
.
ACTS 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord?
And he said unto me,
I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
JOHN 7:40-53 Many of the people therefore, when
they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said,
This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath
not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out
of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
So there was a division
among the people because of him.
And some of them would have taken
him; but no man laid hands on him. Then came the officers to the chief
priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought
him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
Then answered
them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of
the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law
are cursed.
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by
night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him,
and know what he doeth? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also
of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And
every man went unto his own house.
So you can see, that you can have Prophecies that are Correct, but used falsly if they are misinterpreted. And you can have a True Prophecy but if it is Placed in the Wrong Time Period and Season it becomes a False Prophecy. Therefore you also have people that do not believe what day and hour it is because they are looking for certain Scriptures to come to pass, but they have used their own privite interpretation of how the Prophecy will come to pass. And then you have those that are looking for Prophecies that have already been fulfilled. So Know of Whom you are Learning From Brethren, as you can be blinded by False Doctrine to the Light of the Hour.
If you see an Event happening, and if it is in line with the next Event to happen in God's Unfolding Plan, then Listen to the Voice of the Sign, not the Religious Church Leaders, or anybody else. For the Voice of the Sign will tell you what Day and Hour it is. That Voice will tell you what Scriptures are being Fulfilled. For he that has Ears to Hear, will Hear. And he that has Eyes to See, will See.
Some may say I'm part of some radical religious group, or some cult of some sort. Or perhaps even a member of a radical militia group. For the record let me state that I do not attend any type of church at all. I'm not part of any cult. And I don't belong to any militia group. I'm simply a Bible believing Christian, who loves God, and has a desire to help a brother or sister in Christ with the Gift that has been given me. The Gift is not for me but for those who need it. I wish there was a church I could attend that believes as I do. I have minister friends around the USA, and some have asked me to attend their churches. But I don't believe in going to someone else's church and saying something that might differ from the Pastor, and maybe causing a division in that congregation. And being that I am minister, a Teacher, how can I not talk about the Word of God as I understand it. If I was called to be a Pastor I would have my own church were I could speak freely. So using the World Wide Web as a place to Teach the Word and speak what is in my heart is a great blessing for me. And I pray that the things I say will help you grow closer to Jesus Christ the Word.
I have not gone to any type of bible school or college, so I don't have any degrees in theology. I'm not a member now, nor have I ever been of any type of Religious Organization. I don't follow their teachings, doctrines, traditions, manuals, articles of faith, creeds, or any church constitution. Therefore the foundation of my teachings are not based on the private interpretations of some man or group of men. I'm not against any church or religious organization, (for who am I to judge) but the Scriptures speak against Teaching Doctrines that are not from the Law of Moses or from the Prophets of God. And the Roman Catholic Church and her Harlot Daughters, the Protestant Churches, Teach False Doctrines.
ISAIAH 5:20-24 Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that
put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are
wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto
them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong
drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness
of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble,
and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness,
and their blossom shall go up as dust: because
they have cast away
the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of
Israel.
MATTHEW 15:7-9 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias
prophesy of you, saying,This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But
in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of
men.
My ability to teach the Word does not come from human or man made resources, but from Supernatural resources. A true minister of God is called by God to the office God has chosen. A man does not choose to become a minister of God, and then go to some type of school to learn how to be a minister of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ! Every minister of God has a Gift given to him by God to fulfill the calling of God in his life. Why we have so many churches preaching so many different and false doctrines is because they have Man Made Ministers and not God Made Ministers!
NUMBERS 3:10 And
thou shalt appoint Aaron
and his sons
, and they shall wait on their priest's office:
and
the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
LUKE 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto
him his disciples: and of them
he chose twelve, whom also he named
apostles;
GALATIANS 1:1
Paul, an apostle, (not of
men, neither by man,
but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who
raised him from the dead;)
I CORINTHIANS 12:28 And
God hath set some
in the church
, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,
after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities
of tongues.
I PETER 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak
as the oracles of God;
if any man minister, let him do it as of the
ability which God giveth:
that God in all things may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.
II CORINTHIANS 11:13-15
For such are false
apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles
of Christ.
And no marvel; for
Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if
his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.
If I say something against a church or man, it's not me, my natural thoughts or feelings being expressed, but the Spirit of God within me Speaking. I certainly don't think that I am greater or above other ministers. I know that if it were not for the grace of God I would still be in darkness and under the power of satan. I was unworthy to receive the grace of God before I was Quickened by His Spirit into Life and Light, and I am still unworthy of His Grace now. But there is only One Spirit and He is the Author of the Scriptures which He Spoke through men. So if I have the same Spirit within me Teaching the Word; His thoughts, His Feelings, His Attitude about things will be the same which is Already Expressed in the Scriptures.
I'm just a man, I nor you Can Understand the Word of God with our natural minds. The Spirit of God MUST Reveal the Scriptures to a man for him to understand them. Let me say it again, it is "Impossible" for a man to understand the Scriptures intellectually. The human mind cannot perceive the true meaning of the Word by human reason. Only by the Holy Spirit of God can a person attain any enlightenment of Truth. You can study the Word of God all your life, even become a so called theologian, but you will not come to the Knowledge of the Truth unless the Spirit of God Reveals it unto you. So the Gift of Teaching is the Spirit of God Revealing and Unfolding the Scriptures to a man, and then showing him how to Teach that which is Revealed. And that is by comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual. And those that are to believe the Message of the Hour God will open their understanding that they may See and Believe that what is being Spoken is the Truth. Those that do not have the Spirit of God guiding them will not understand the Message of the Hour. It will be a bunch of foolishness to them, because the human mind cannot understand the Word of God.
I CORINTHIANS 2:11-14 For what man knoweth the
things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so
The Things Of God Knoweth No Man
, but the Spirit of God. Now we
have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
God; that We Might Know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which Man's Wisdom Teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost Teacheth; comparing Spiritual Things With Spiritual.
But
the Natural Man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are Spiritually Discerned.
ROMANS 8:5-9 For they that are after the flesh
do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. For to be Carnally Minded is death; but to be Spiritually
Minded is life and peace. Because
the Carnal Mind is enmity against
God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So
then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the
flesh, but in the Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit of God Dwell In You.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
MATTHEW 11:25-27 At that time Jesus answered
and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because
thou
hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them
unto babes.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father:
and no man knoweth
the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts
of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,
Whom do men
say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some say that thou
art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets. He saith unto them,
But whom say ye that I am?
And
Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living
God. And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father
which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter,
and
upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.
EPHESIANS 3:5 Which
in other ages was not
made known
unto the sons of men,
as it is now revealed unto
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
LUKE 24:44,45 And he said unto them, These are
the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things
must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets,
and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then opened he their understanding,
that they might understand the scriptures,
The Doctrines I teach were not taught me by some other man. But the Spirit of God Himself has Revealed to me personally the Gospel I preach. I can't take credit for anything I know, as if with my own mind and ability I was able to unravel or figure out the mysteries of God. So were is boasting, were is pride? For only by Him and through Him can we walk in the Light. Can a beautiful flower with its sweet fragrance say; look at me, I attained unto this beauty and this sweet fragrance is of my own strength? Nay, but rather, God made me thus, and I am the Work of His hands. So if there be any glory, any praise, any uplifting, let it be to Him who is Above all, Before all, and by Whom all things were made. Unto God the Father of Lights, and His Spirit of Truth, which was Revealed in a Body called Jesus of Nazareth, who is The Son of God.
To whom it may concern: I am a white
American, 38 years old, and have never been married. I was Born Again by
the Spirit of God on Sept. 3, 1981. At the present time I live in
America
also known as Babylon, that Great City.
It is the Beast rising
out of the earth in Revelations 13:11-18. It is different than
Mystery
Babylon the Great, for that is the Seat of the Roman Catholic Church which
is in Rome.
Revelations 17: 1-9. This Nation (USA) will be destroyed by God in Two Phases,
For it is written. Revelations
18:1-20, and 18:21-24.
May the Power of Revelation be yours,
