How will you vote for
your president/king?
This year is an
election year.... What do you want to get from
your next leader?....
We have the
Republican Party and the Democratic Party
basically to choose from...... OR DO WE ???
World leaders
and people WAKE UP!... Or face the end of the
world as we know it....
.....
Isaiah 6:11
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he
answered, Until
the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the
houses without man, and the land be utterly
desolate,

There are only
two ways or philosophies of life... And these
travel in opposite directions...One will produce
peace, universal prosperity and well being... The
other produces exactly what we have in this world
today...I simplify these two basic motivations
that even a child could understand. They are...
Get and Give
Get is the way of
self-centeredness, vanity, covetousness, envy,
jealousy, hostility, resentment of authority over
one, greed, etc...
Give is the way of
out-flowing love, concern of the well-being of
neighbor equal to self-concern... It is the way
of helping, serving, sharing, of kindness,
consideration, goodwill, etc...
Government is
the organized authority to ensure the well-being
and safety of the people... Otherwise there would
be chaos... They should create a peaceful,
prosperous, and happy society...
BUT...
Politicians live in the world addicted to this
way of GET .... It would be naive to
think that they have not absorbed the way of
GET.... The people want to GET from government
and the politician wants to GET the people's vote
and GET the office of president, governor, mayor,
etc... What one group may want to GET from
government often collides with other group's
wants... The candidates often find themselves
making promises they can not deliver.... Can you
remember Obama's promises?... How many has he
kept?
It's a
never-ending merry-go-round of people trying to
"GET" from government
and politicians using every strategy to "GET" or retain
power... No man made government has ever tried to
change the human way of GET.... Every evil
dragging this sick world down towards cosmocide
has been caused by the GET nature in man... We
call this human nature...
Very, very few
indeed know that once the government of God ruled
the world. Then there was world peace... But
God's government was also overthrown on earth by
a super archangel named Lucifer... Over billions
of angels originally inhabited the earth. That's
prehistory recorded in the Bible...
That overthrow
of the government of God brought havoc,
destruction, decay, waste, and emptiness to the
face of the earth.. Genesis 1:2 (literal translation)...
And the earth
was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters. Genesis 1:2
In six days God
renewed the face of the earth... "Thou
sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and
thou renewest the face of the earth." Psalms
104:30``````````
Satan had
turned to the way of life of "Get" instead of love
of "Give".... That is the way of
vanity, lust, and greed, envy and jealousy
competition and strife, leading to violence and
war, and resentment and rebellion against God's
law, which is the way of life of the Government
of God...
So God set in
motion a 7,000-year master plan... Creating man
in His own image... For 6,000 years God adopted a
hands off approach towards man.... Allowing man
to go his own way to create his own religions,
laws and economic system.... To teach man that
God's law and Government is the only law and
government that bring peace and harmony....
But man also
rejected God and followed the way of "Get"...
Very few know
that God reigned as King at one time over His
people Israel on this earth... and man threw God
off the throne to replace him with a man... To
save space I can't explain this in great detail
here.. If you would like more detail see America & Great
Britain in Prophecy....
1 Samuel 8:5
And said unto him, Behold, thou art old,
and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to
judge us like all the nations.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when
they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel
prayed unto the LORD.
7 And
the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice
of the people in all that they say unto thee: for
they have not rejected thee, but they have
rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
Samuel 8:9
Now therefore hearken unto their voice:
howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of
the king that shall reign over them.
10 And Samuel told all the words of the
LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
11 And he said, This will be the manner
of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons,
and appoint them for himself, for his chariots,
and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before
his chariots.
12 And he will appoint him captains over
thousands, and captains over fifties; and will
set them to ear his ground, and to reap his
harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and
instruments of his chariots.
13 And he will take your daughters to be
confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be
bakers.
14 And he will take your fields, and your
vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of
them, and give them to his servants.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed,
and of your vineyards, and give to his officers,
and to his servants.
16 And he will take your menservants, and
your maidservants, and your goodliest young men,
and your asses, and put them to his work.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep:
and ye shall be his servants.
18 And
ye shall cry out in that day because of your king
which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will
not hear you in that day.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey
the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we
will have a king over us.
Your great
leaders that you have appointed to rule over you
have taken your jobs (NAFTA).... Put the wheels
in motion to take your homes and succeeded... HE
will soon take your internet, your phones, your
automobiles and your complete freedom... But you
continue to look for their guidance and
leadership... You must learn the hard way....
WHEN YOU ARE A SLAVE YOU WILL... "cry out in that
day because of your king which ye shall have
chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in
that day"
In the 59th
chapter of Isaiah is a prophecy (future event) that speaks of our
leaders....
Isaiah 59
1 ¶Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened,
that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that
it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid his face
from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your
fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken
lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for
truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they
conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the
spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth,
and that which is crushed breaketh out into a
viper.
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither
shall they cover themselves with their works:
their works are works of iniquity, and the act of
violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to
shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts
of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their
paths.
8 The way
of peace they know not; and there is no judgment
in their goings: they have made them crooked
paths:
whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9 ¶Therefore is judgment far from us, neither
doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but
behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in
darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we
grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday
as in the night; we are in desolate places as
dead men.
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like
doves: we look for judgment, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before
thee, and our sins testify against us: for our
transgressions are with us; and as for our
iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD,
and departing away from our God, speaking
oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering
from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and
justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in
the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from
evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it,
and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
.
For it is written, He taketh the wise in their
own craftiness.
1
Corinthians 3:19
Never has our society been in such a state of
muddled confusion.... much of the blame can be
laid at the feet of our leaders, which are not
leaders but followers.... Leaders should take a
firm stand in what they believe in... no matter
what the consequences are... even if it cost them
the election... Not scramble frantically to find
out the latest polls and stand behind them....
Believe it or not what people sometimes want is
not what is always best for them....
Man has tried
every form of government and all has been
overthrown and failed miserably.... Today we see
this too often on the news blasting across the
air 24 hours a day.... And the Great Superpower of
America
is tumbling downward, crashing to the ground just
as all man made governments in the past... But
the people still hope and look for that next man
to pull this world up from the pits of hell... As
our governments slowly take away every freedom,
our homes, jobs, etc... America's politicians
gave the people's prosperity and jobs away with
the signing of NAFTA.... Because of the great
wise leaders of this world the people have also
lost their homes... Our children have been sold
to the heathen for a price.... Fighting endless
wars.. never changing....
Every
politician must appear to be doing and working on
the will of the people... But they do not.... Our
politicians are bought and sold every day..
Lobbyist continue to lobby for their selfish
interest.... The politicians deceive the people
and get elected every 4 years in America... And
the people continue to believe and follow as
blind sheep to the slaughter... I've heard many
people say our system of government may not be
perfect but it is the best that we have..... IS
IT!!???
Satan is the
king of this world until Jesus returns to claim
His throne.... Satan is the arch-deceiver....
This world has been deceived into thinking there
is no devil and there is no God.... The great
educators and leaders teach you that you came
from monkeys and frogs.... Religious leaders
teach you that you have an eternal spirit and
will spend eternity in heaven or in the fiery
furnace of hell.... Satan is the god of this
world deceiving the whole
world
as it is recorded....
"In whom
the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of
God, should shine unto them." 2 Corinthians
4:45
"And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world"... Revelation 12:9
Because
they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved.
And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie 2Thessalonians 2:10-11
For God hath
concluded them all in unbelief, that he might
have mercy upon all.
Romans 11:32
Indeed Satan is
the god of all man made worldly religions....
Just to name a few, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist,
Seven Day Adventist, Buddhism, Islamic,
Presbyterian, etc,,,, The list goes on and on...
There are over 250,000 different denominations of
Christianity.... All with the mark of the beast.... Opposing the law of
God in which the Government of God is built....
Man was made
with a "human spirit", not an eternal
spirit......
"For the
wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
This human
spirit imparts the power of intellect to the
physical brain... That constitutes the
overwhelming differences between human mind and
animal brain... The mental or intellectual output
of the human mind is perhaps millions of times
greater than that of the animal brain...Somewhat
like the scale of a human mind compared to an
angels.... Of course there are different degrees
of intelligence in different humans and also in
different animals....
In man is the
one spirit... That spirit cannot see.... The
physical brain sees through the eyes and hears
through the ears..... The human spirit does not
independently of itself think... The physical
brain thinks... The spirit contains all memory
programmed into it (like a computer) as knowledge
enters the brain through the eye, ear, senses of
feel and touch, smell and taste... The spirit
supplies the brain with instant recall, making
thinking and reasoning possible...
The great
difference between man and God is that normal man
with his human spirit can receive and be
conscious of only physical knowledge....
Spiritual knowledge cannot be felt, heard, seen,
smelled or tasted.... The most intellectual,
individual filled with physical knowledge,
reasoning and beliefs really think that nothing
exist outside of physical matter.... There is
nothing spiritual; there is no God... So they
believe....
Understand
this!!!... It is the foundation of all
understanding!!!!
It
is explained in 1 Corinthians 2:9-14
"But as it is written, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into
the heart (mind) of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by
his Spirit (those who have His Holy Spirit):
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man
(physical knowledge, knowledge possesed by
humans), save the spirit of man which is in
him? (Notice the spirit is not the man but
something in the man.... The spirit does not give
man life... The blood and the breath of life
gives man life... It takes life to sustain
life... You cannot survive without consuming some
form of life... He receives human knowledge by
this spirit, not human life... This is not an
"immortal soul") even so the
things of God (spiritual knowledge)
knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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."
Human
man has been given one spirit, which we term the
human spirit. this spirit empowers the human
brain with intellect...Makes possible physical
knowledge.... Thinking, reasoning, making
decisions and choices... but it confines the man
with physical knowledge...
Man
was made to need another spirit... The Holy
Spirit of God which when added to the human
spirit opens the mind to comprehend spiritual
knowledge... The things of God...
That
is why the most learned among men... University
professors, educators, and world leaders are the
most ignorant of humans... for they are entirely
shut off from spiritual knowledge...
Notice
again in I Corinthians 2:14 "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."
With
all the different governments in the world no one
government has the answers to peace and
prosperity.... They are all in such turmoil,
confusion, and violence... Governments
overthrown...Chaos...... Killing in the
streets...
Our
leaders have no answers... A new president will
not change things.... Their wisdom is
foolishness... Can America continue to stand
after giving their wealth and jobs (NAFTA) to the
heathen and the Gentiles... Literally paying them
to leave America... Depending on China for our
every need including food.... Where is the
"Common Sense".....
1
Corinthians 1:19-20 "For it is
written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of
the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is
the disputer of this world? hath not God made
foolish the wisdom of this world?"
In
today's society people vote for their leaders for
all the wrong reasons... Some vote for a
candidate because he is a brother of a past
president... Others vote for a candidate based on
race or social standing... One lady told me she
voted for Obama because they were giving out
balloons to the voter who voted for Obama....And
her daughter wanted a balloon... But more times
than not people's vote for their leader is
determined by what they can GET out of them...
The
politicians needed and wanted to GET the female
vote so they gave women equal rights... Soon they
needed and wanted to GET the Black African
American vote so they gave them equal rights....
Now the politicians needs and want to GET the
Hispanic and every aliens (non citizen) vote.....
So they are giving them the right to vote....
This should not come as a surprise... In
America's last election Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck
and Bugs Bunny literally got their vote counted
too.... Does this sound foolish to you?
You
do have a choice!
God's
government is a way of life... The administration
of God's spiritual law.... It is simply the way
of life of love... Of out-flowing love.... First
of all towards God, The Supreme Ruler..... And
secondly outgoing concern for the good and
welfare of their human neighbor.... It is the way
of "Give"...
Lucifer
and his angels turned from this way of Give to the way of "GET".... That is the
way of vanity, lust, greed, envy, jealousy,
competition, strife leading to violence and
wars... Or resentment towards real or imagined
wrongs.... THE REBELLION TOWARDS GOD AND HIS
GOVERNMENT...
The
Give way is God-centered....
The GET way is self-centered...
The
government of God is administered by God, who is
love.... Who is all-wise... All-knowing...
All-merciful... All understanding... All-just....
ALL-POWERFUL.....
The
governments of man are all administered, in
whatever form by humans who, regardless of their
degree of sincerity and honest intent are
fallible and naturally self-centered....Man, by
comparison to God, is utterly incapable of
righteous rule for the good of the governed....
As
to form.... God's government is government from
the top down.... That is from the most fit... The
highest qualified, the most able, on down each in
succession being chosen from higher up... Chose
by those who knows and can read minds and hearts,
attitudes and intents... And who selects for each
position the one best qualified for the well
being of the governed people...
Now
compare this to our last few elections in
America..... WOW.... Look at the millions of
dollars spent on campaigning, in state primaries,
in conventions devoted more to horse-play than
for serious concern for the welfare of the
people, the state of the nation, and the
world....
Look
at all the foolishness and confusion in voting
over minor issues... Look at the debates... The
editorials... The propaganda to try to convince
others to the way of thinking of the politicians
and the writers and speakers....
And
what is the REAL BASIC MOTIVATION, after all....
all in the mind of both candidates and voters....
Self-interest.... All is conducted on the
self-centered way of the god of this world... Yes
truly this is his world.... Satan...
"In
whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of
God, should shine unto them." 2 Corinthians
4:4
Well
what about communism and totalitarianism?... In
organizational form totalitarianism closely
resembles God's government...But that's where the
likeness stops!... Some totalitarian rulers in
the past have been good rulers from a human's
standpoint; most have been tyrants.... Even the
better ones were human and fallible and subject
to mistakes that have been costly to their
subjects beyond estimate, in economy, injustice,
pain and suffering....
Six
thousand years of man trying to organize himself
has written the lessons in human anguish, pain,
suffering, injustice, unhappiness, discontent,
frustration, and DEATH!
Religions
have failed to reveal to humanity the truth......
Truly they have been the "Opiate of the
people".... Governments have failed
miserably to solve the world's evils....Social
systems have enslaved, harmed, given little or no
help... Science has brought more curses than
blessings... Today the engines of mass
destruction produced by science are capable of
blasting all human life from this planet...
The
angels who inhabited the earth before us wrought
destruction.... Look what man has done!..... He
has polluted the air, the water, the soil of the
earth... He has ruined, harmed, or polluted every
piece of God's earth he has gotten his hands
on....
PESSIMISTIC
???
NO...
A THOUSAND TIMES NO! The 6,000 years God allotted
for man to learn his lesson are about over....
The
lesson has been written in blood... But not yet
learned....
My
great commission is to announce to you and the
world that in our generation... God Almighty will
intervene supernaturally and directly... Christ
soon will come in the TOTAL POWER and AUTHORITY
of the Creator God to rule all nations with the
government of God!
Revelation
19:14 "And the armies which were in
heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword, that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS."
A
very few have been predestinated to be called and
chosen now to stand back of me in getting this
announcement to the world, and in so doing have
prepared themselves to being changed, at Christ's
coming, from mortal to immortal.... from human to
the divine.... To be given power under Christ in
His Kingdom to rule what humanity is left alive
after the present fast approaching great
tribulations..... the FINAL CLIMAX OF MAN'S
REBELLION shall have been put down....
Jeremiah
5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and
without understanding; which have eyes, and see
not; which have ears, and hear not:
22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye
not tremble at my presence, which have placed the
sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual
decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the
waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not
prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass
over it?
23 But this people hath a revolting and a
rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us
now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both
the former and the latter, in his season: he
reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the
harvest.
25 ¶Your iniquities have turned away these
things, and your sins have withholden good things
from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked
men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares;
they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their
houses full of deceit: therefore they are become
great, and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea,
they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge
not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet
they prosper; and the right of the needy do they
not judge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things?
saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on
such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is
committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the
priests bear rule by their means; and my people
love to have it so: and what will ye do in the
end thereof?
We
shall have peace, happiness, joy, abundant
well-being... AND THE OFFER OF ETERNAL LIFE...
FOR ALL...
I
am merely the advanced announcer, preparing the
way....

MORE
It's
positively astounding!
It has
remained undiscovered by science. Higher
education has never taught it. And organized
religion has withheld it. How? By suppressing the
real gospel message Christ brought from heaven
that reveals the awesome purpose of human life.
PREPARE YOURSELF for the most shocking revelation
of your life. Does it come as an astonishing
shock to learn that the most important dimension
in all knowledge was sent from God to this earth
by Jesus Christ -- but that message was
suppressed in the very first century?
That
Jesus Himself was put to death for revealing it?
That His apostles, with one possible exception,
were also martyred for proclaiming it? Yet this
message from the living God, if humanity had
received and heeded it, would have saved this
world from nearly all of its troubles, sufferings
and evils. The very word "gospel" means
"good news." That message, when fully
understood, reveals a human potential so
stupendous so awesome -- it appears at first to
be totally beyond belief, yet it has been
suppressed from the world until now.
Why
Christ's Gospel was Suppressed Christ's message
reveals the most necessary facts about humanity:
what man is, the purpose for which mankind was
put on earth, where we are going, what is the way
to world peace, happiness and universal
prosperity, what are the true values, what is the
awesome human potential, and how it may be
achieved. Answers to these questions form the
most important knowledge ever made accessible to
man. Yet it was spurned and rejected, and soon
suppressed.
Christ's
gospel message, when fully grasped, reveals what
science has been utterly unable to discover. It
reveals what religion in this world knows nothing
of. It reveals what this world's higher education
has never known or taught. It reveals the most
wonderful TRUTH a human mind could ever come to
know! It reveals the missing dimension in
knowledge, the knowledge most vitally necessary
to know. It was the most monumental good news
ever revealed by our Maker to mankind! Why would
men have wanted to reject and put to death the
messenger who brought it? Yes, why?
The
answer is that men were DECEIVED. And all nations
are deceived today! The purpose of this website
is to reveal HOW men were deceived and to make
plain WHAT that good news really was. And is.
Nevertheless, it was suppressed. And that
all-important revelation from the living God was
not ever proclaimed publicly to the world until
our present generation. Even today, most of
humanity has never heard the glorious true
gospel. And those millions who do hear it have
been so drugged and stupefied by false religions
and counterfeit "gospels" that they
only become confused. The TRUTH, indeed, is
stranger than any fiction! Prepare yourself to
read astounding truth -- hard to believe, yet
TRUE!
The
Archdeceiver
It is
not intellectually fashionable today to believe
in the actual existence of a devil, but biblical
revelation says differently. Biblical prophecies
say plainly that in our time, today, the WHOLE
WORLD would be deceived.
Notice
one such prophecy in the book of Revelation,
chapter 12, verse 9: "And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world."
This
Satan is revealed as the arch deceiver who has
deceived the whole world. But how did he manage
to deceive the human race? In the third chapter
of Genesis he is shown as the deceiver of mother
Eve. Through her, he caused the first man, Adam,
to commit the first sin by a human. When Jesus
was born in Bethlehem, Satan was still here on
earth as the god of this world (II Cor. 4:4). He
is also the "prince of the power of the
air" today (Eph. 2:2), holding sway over the
whole of mankind. Christ's message revealed the
advance news of the total abolition of Satan's
power over the world and his banishment from the
earth. It revealed that Christ was coming as his
successor to take over the RULE of all nations.
In Satan's mind, it was necessary for him to go
all out to prevent that message from going to the
world. But how could he do it?
First,
he moved to destroy the Christ child and thus
prevent His growing up to proclaim that message.
He influenced king Herod, the Roman provincial
ruler over the land of Israel, and Herod caused
all infants in Bethlehem and surrounding areas
two years old or under to be put to death. But
God warned Joseph and Mary about this, moving
them to flee to Egypt with the infant Jesus until
Herod was dead. Again, when Jesus was about
thirty years old, Satan sought to destroy Him
spiritually before He qualified to preach a word
of His message. But the supreme temptation with
which Satan planned to ensnare Jesus became the
very test which qualified Christ to depose Satan
and to become ruler over all nations. Jesus thus
qualified to restore the government of God on the
earth and to set up the Kingdom of God. However,
it was not in God's master plan for Christ to be
inducted into that office until the end of
mankind's first 6,000 years on earth.
Nevertheless, Jesus proceeded with the mission
for which He had come to earth at that time. He
proclaimed His message and taught it to His
disciples. Satan, however, still was the
invisible power that swayed the world. Even
though many of the Jews to whom Jesus preached
believed on Him as the promised Messiah, they
were swayed against believing His message -- His
gospel. How did, and does, Satan deceive, move,
and sway humanity? The amazing answer will be
given later.
Christ's
Gospel Rejected
Notice
why and how the rejection of Christ's gospel
happened. In the eighth chapter of John, verses
30 through 46, you will read: "As he spake
these words, many believed on him. Then said
Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word [His message], then are ye my
disciples indeed ... but ye seek to kill me,
because my word [His gospel message] hath no
place in you .... But now ye seek to kill me, a
man that hath told you the truth, which I have
heard of God ... for I proceeded forth and came
from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent
me .... And because I tell you the truth, ye
believe me not .... And if I say the truth, why
do ye not believe me?"
In due
time, the Romans crucified Jesus. But He rose
from the dead and ascended into heaven. From
there, He sent God's Holy Spirit for His
disciples. Christ's apostles went out, as He
commissioned them, to proclaim His message to the
world. God's Church was raised Up (A.D. 31) to
back the proclaiming of the message. The Church
began to grow, then "caught fire," and
multiplied. But Satan connived to set up a
powerful Gentile religious leader with a
counterfeit religion -- the ancient Babylonian
mystery religion. He hatched a counterfeit
"gospel." He even appropriated the name
of Christ, calling that religion
"Christianity." That, I know, is a
breathtaking revelation, difficult today, 1900
years later, to believe. But nonetheless, it is
true!
The
Counterfeit "Gospel" Is Set Up
In
Samaria, north of Jerusalem, lived a Gentile
people whom the Jews of Christ's day spurned,
calling them "dogs." They had been
moved there from areas of the Babylonian Empire
about 700 B.C. by various kings, including
Shalmaneser of Assyria (II Kings 17:18, 21-24,
etc.). They had brought with them into the land
of Samaria their own Babylonian mystery religion.
In the eighth chapter of Acts you'll read of
their religious leader in the time of Christ,
Simon Magus the Sorcerer.
Christ
raised up the Church of God to stand back of the
proclaiming of His gospel message by His apostles
in A.D. 31. By A.D. 33, after a most amazing
initial growth, a great persecution set in
against God's Church (Acts 8:1). At that time,
A.D. 33, this Simon the Sorcerer was himself
baptized along with multitudes of others. He then
tried to buy an apostleship in God's Church from
the apostles Peter and John -- but of course was
refused and rebuked. Thereupon this Simon
appropriated the NAME of Christ, calling his
Babylonian mystery religion
"Christianity." Satan moved this man
and used him as his instrument against the true
Church of God.
Before
the end of the first century -- probably by A.D.
70 -- he managed to suppress the message Christ
had brought from God. There ensued "the lost
century" in the history of the true Church
of God. There was a well-organized conspiracy to
blot out all record of Church history during that
period. A hundred years later, history reveals a
"Christianity" utterly unlike the
Church Christ founded. It had taken the NAME of
Christ and applied it to the Babylonian mystery
religion. It had replaced the MESSAGE Jesus
brought from God with a "gospel" about
the person of Christ -- proclaiming the Messenger
but suppressing the entire missing dimension from
His message. And for at least eighteen and
one-half centuries the true gospel was not
proclaimed publicly to the world.
"Another
Gospel" Gains Acceptance
When
the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the
Galatians, many already were turning to this now
new counterfeit "gospel." Paul wrote:
"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from
him that called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel: which is not another [it was not
good news]; but there be some that trouble you,
and would pervert the gospel of Christ"
(Gal. 1:6-7).
To the
Thessalonians Paul wrote, "For the mystery
of iniquity doth already work ... " (II
Thes. 2:7). It was the Babylonian mystery
religion, started by Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8),
a religion of iniquity -- lawlessness -- a
religion rejecting the law of God.
The
True and the False Church
In the
book of Revelation are pictured two churches,
each of which go under the NAME of Christ. One,
pictured in the twelfth chapter, portrays the
true Church of God, small in number, reduced
through persecution and martyrdom, but obedient
to God's law, and hated by Satan. The other, in
the seventeenth chapter, called "Mystery,
Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and
Abominations of the Earth" (verse 5). In
other words, the Babylonian mystery religion
steeped in "iniquity" -- abolishing
God's law. During the time of Paul's ministry,
these same Simon Magus ministers were troubling
the Corinthians. Paul wrote to the Corinthians:
"I am jealous over you with godly jealousy:
for I have espoused you to one husband, that I
may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
[the true Church, in the resurrection, is to be
married to Christ, spiritually]. But I fear, lest
by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through
his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he
[a minister of Simon Magus] that cometh preacheth
another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if
ye receive another spirit [of rebellion and
disobedience] which ye have not received, or
another gospel ... " (II Cor. 11:2-4).
Notice, they were proclaiming another Jesus -- as
well as another gospel -- and they followed
another spirit -- of rebellion and not obedience.
That deception has continued through the
centuries and is the state today. They took the
name of Christ. They called their Babylonian
religion "Christianity." They not only
presented a counterfeit gospel but a counterfeit
spirit of self-centeredness and a counterfeit
Jesus, completely different to the Jesus of the
Bible. Of these false ministers, Paul wrote
further to the Corinthians: "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 ... " (II Cor.
11:13-15).
Peter,
John and Jude Expose False Ministers
Peter
wrote of these deceivers: "But there were
false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you who
privily shall bring in damnable heresies .... And
many shall follow their pernicious ways; by
reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil
spoken of. And through covetousness shall they
with feigned words make merchandise of you ...
" (II Peter 2:1-3).
John
wrote of these same perverters of the true
gospel, denying obedience to the way of God.
"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not
his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not
in him" (I John 2:4). "They went out
from us, but they were not of us; for if they had
been of us, they would no doubt have continued
with us ... " (I John 2:19).
Jude
warned us that we should "earnestly contend
for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints. For there are certain men crept in
unawares, who were before of old ordained to this
condemnations ungodly men, turning the grace of
our God into lasciviousness [license to disobey]
.... Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile
the flesh, despise dominion [government], and
speak evil of dignities .... Woe unto them! for
they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward,
and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are
spots in your feasts of charity ... clouds they
are without water, carried about of winds ...
twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves
of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the
blackness of darkness for ever" (Jude 3-4,
8, 11-13).
The
Word "Gospel" Misleading Today
Even
the very word "gospel" is misleading
today. The world has been, and is, full of
"gospel programs" on television, on
radio, in print, in personal evangelism. Say to
almost any person, "The gospel has not been
proclaimed publicly to the world for eighteen and
one-half centuries," and he will think you
are crazy, because it is the counterfeit
"gospel" that has been vociferously
proclaimed. But it is a "gospel" about
the person of the messenger, while IGNORING His
message. That gospel is based on the assumption
that this is the time, and the ONLY time, when
God is trying to "get the whole world
saved." But those preaching such a message
do not know even what salvation is, or how it is
obtained.
How
could the whole world he deceived? What did
Christ's gospel MESSAGE contain that a powerful,
invisible devil was so determined to suppress and
to counterfeit?
What,
Then, Is the True Gospel?
The
true gospel is the good news that God sent from
heaven by Jesus Christ. That message, when fully
understood, reveals a human potential so
stupendous it appears at first to be totally
beyond belief! It is incredibly wonderful news
revealed from the Creator. It reveals the most
wonderful TRUTH a human mind could come to know.
It reveals what I term the MISSING DIMENSION IN
KNOWLEDGE -- the most necessary knowledge so
vital to know! Were we put here for a Purpose?
What is that purpose? Is there, after all,
purpose and meaning to human life? A purpose and
meaning suppressed from human dissemination?
That's vital knowledge OUTSIDE the scope of
today's science, religion, or education!
The
Missing Dimension in Knowledge
If
there is purpose, what is it? Why were you born?
Where are we going? What is the ultimate
transcendent potential of man? What is the way?
How do we achieve that destiny? What is the way
to peace -- among nations, between individuals,
and between groups? Why all this world's evils?
Why can't we solve our human problems?
There
IS A WAY, and the true gospel reveals it! It's a
basic law that works by inexorable and relentless
force. What is human nature? Did God create and
instill it in humans to trouble us? Is it
hereditary? How does it work? Neither modern
science, religion, nor education can tell you.
What is
the human mind, and how does it differ from the
animal brain? Why, when the human mind can invent
the computer and can learn to send men to the
moon and back, can't such minds solve their own
problems here on earth and live at peace with
their fellows? What is man? Just what are we,
after all? Science can't learn that secret,
religions have never rightly explained it, but
the true gospel, when fully understood, reveals
the answer, and in truth! What are the true
values? What is important, and what is
insignificant or of no value? Humanity dissipates
its energy pursuing false values -- spends its
labor and its thinking in pursuits that are
valueless and prove useless when achieved.
The
true gospel, when fully understood, explains the
origin of the devil. Did God create a devil to
mislead and harass humanity? The gospel explains
how Satan came to be the great though invisible
and hidden -- POWER that sways invisibly and
actually rules this world. It explains why Satan
moved with all his wiles and subtleness to
suppress, through humans he could sway, this
vital gospel message which God sent by Jesus
Christ to mankind.
Remember
this: The true gospel message, had humanity
heeded it, would have saved this world nearly all
its anguish, troubles, suffering, and evils. It
is impossible for me, in a few words, to make it
clear enough with sufficient emphasis to cause
the reader to comprehend the supreme, tremendous
meaning and importance of that true gospel
message. And even today, when heard, it is seldom
really understood in all its colossal
significance because Satan has thrown up such a
smokescreen of false and counterfeit religions,
"gospels," and teachings that the
hearer or reader is left confused in doubt and
unbelief -- or in a state of indifference to the
most important things in life.
Nevertheless,
now just before the END of this age, Almighty God
has decreed that "this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations, and then shall the end
come" (Matt. 24:14). This is the message the
Eternal God is delivering now, by His end-time
apostle, to the heads of governments in world
capitals all over the world. The true gospel,
when viewed with all that it embodies -- the
reason for it, the prehistoric truth of earth's
first (angelic) inhabitants, the reason humans
were created and put on earth, the (CAUSE of all
the earth's evils and sufferings, the nature of
the human mind, the need for spiritual salvation
and what it is, the coming world tomorrow of
peace, what lies on beyond, and man's ultimate
incredible potential becomes the most
all-encompassing subject that can enter the mind
of man. Beside it, everything else shrinks to
total unimportance. It is greater than any story
of man ever written before.
What
Was Christ's Gospel?
God the
Father had promised to send a messenger into the
world from heaven, bearing a message from Him for
all mankind. This promise is recorded in Malachi
3:1: "Behold, I will send my messenger, and
he shall prepare the way before me [and that
messenger, as explained in Mark 1:2, was John the
Baptist] and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall
suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger
of the covenant, whom ye delight in." The
"Lord," here, of course, refers to
Jesus Christ. That was the prophecy. The record
of its happening is in the first chapter of Mark:
"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God." Then follows the
account of John the Baptist preparing the way
before Him. Verses 12 and 13 record the
temptation of Jesus by Satan, wherein Satan
sought to destroy Christ spiritually, before He
proclaimed a word of the message He brought from
God the Father.
Then
follow verses 14 and 15: "Now after that
John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel ...." What gospel?
"... the gospel of the kingdom of God
...." That is the gospel Christ proclaimed.
The message He brought was the message about the
Kingdom of God. That is the message God wanted
proclaimed AS A WITNESS to all nations! But since
the first century the world has known NOTHING of
the Kingdom of God because that message was not
proclaimed publicly to the world after the first
century. That message, when explained and fully
understood, covers a very wide range of revealed
knowledge. It reveals -- I repeat, what science
has been utterly UNABLE to discover, what
religion has never revealed, what this world's
education has never known nor taught.
Note
These Points There are a number of points to be
noted which are significant. One is, that in
Malachi's prophecy, Christ was called a messenger
bearing a message. He is called the
"messenger of the covenant." Again,
notice the fifteenth verse of Mark 1. Jesus came
into Galilee "preaching the gospel of the
kingdom of God" and saying, "The time
is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the gospel." What did
He mean, "The time is fulfilled"? And
why was the Kingdom of God then "at
hand," when it had not been before that
precise time? These points are of prime
significance. But first, before I explain more
fully just what the Kingdom of God is, notice
further that this definitely is the very gospel
message Christ brought from God the Father -- the
same gospel the original apostles proclaimed --
the same gospel the apostle Paul proclaimed to
the Gentiles.
Christ
Brought No Other Gospel
Jesus
said, "I must preach the kingdom of God to
other cities also: for therefore am I sent"
(Luke 4:43). Jesus commissioned His disciples to
teach the Kingdom of God. "Then he called
the twelve disciples together, and ... he sent
them to preach the kingdom of God ... "
(Luke 9:1-2). "But when they believed Philip
preaching the things concerning the kingdom of
God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
baptized, both men and women" (Acts 8:12).
"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching
in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom ... " (Matt. 4:23).
Jesus'
parables concerned the Kingdom of God. To His
disciples, in explaining the parable of the
sower, He said: "Unto you it is given to
know the mystery of the kingdom of God but unto
them that are without, all these things are done
in parables:That seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not
understand; lest at any time they should be
converted, and their sins should be forgiven
them." and then He explained to them the
parable.
Again,
"Then said he [Jesus], Unto what is the
kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I
resemble it?" (Luke 13:18) -- and then came
a parable. "And again he said, Whereunto
shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like
leaven ... " and then follows the parable of
the leaven (Luke 13:20-21). One of His most
important parables is recorded in the nineteenth
chapter of Luke: "... he added and spake a
parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and
because they thought that the kingdom of God
should immediately appear" (Luke 19:11).
Then He gave the parable of the nobleman going to
a far country to receive for himself a kingdom
and to return -- the picture of Christ's
ascension to heaven, where the coronation
ceremony shall take place, and His return to
earth to rule all nations, as King of kings and
Lord of lords, in all the supreme power and glory
of the great God.
What
gospel did the apostles and Paul proclaim?
Did the
Apostles and Paul Preach a Different Gospel?...
After Christ's resurrection, the disciples were
with Him forty days. Were they talking among
themselves about any other gospel during that
time than the Kingdom of God? Notice, just before
Jesus ascended into heaven. Luke had previously
recorded what Jesus had done and said "until
the day in which he was taken up, after that he
through the Holy [Spirit] had given commandments
unto the apostles whom he had chosen: to whom
also he showed himself alive after his passion by
many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty
days, and speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God ... " (Acts 1:2-3).
Notice
after His resurrection Christ was speaking to His
disciples about "the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God." They, then, just before
He ascended into heaven, asked him: "Lord,
wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
to Israel?" (Acts 1:6.) The apostles seemed
never to understand that the Kingdom of God was
not to be set up on earth in their lifetime, even
though Jesus' teaching -- especially the parable
of the pounds (Luke 19, quoted above) -- should
have made it clear to them.
After
two years, from the inception of the Church of
God on the day of Pentecost, A.D. 31, the
counterfeit movement set in, headed by Simon the
Sorcerer. The historic book of Acts records:
"And at that time there was a great
persecution against the church which was at
Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad
throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria,
except the apostles .... Therefore they that were
scattered abroad went every where preaching the
word." What word?
Continue:
"Then Philip went down to the city of
Samaria ... but when they believed Philip
preaching the things concerning the kingdom of
God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
baptized" (Acts 8:1-12). The apostle Paul
spoke boldly at Ephesus for three months
"disputing and persuading the things
concerning the kingdom of God." On a later
trip, at Miletus, Paul called for the elders of
the Church at Ephesus. Saying his farewell to
them, Paul said, "And now, behold, I know
that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the
kingdom of God, shall see my face no more"
(Acts 20:25). At Rome, "there came many to
him [Paul] into his lodging; to whom he expounded
and testified the kingdom of God ... " (Acts
28:23). Again at Rome, "Paul dwelt two whole
years in his own hired house, and received all
that came in unto him, preaching the kingdom of
God ... " (Acts 28:30).
Did
Paul preach any other gospel? To the Galatians he
wrote, "But though we, or an angel from
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we have preached unto you, let him he
accursed. As we said before, so say I now again,
If any man preach any other gospel unto you than
that ye have received, let him he accursed"
(Gal. 1:8-9). But verses 6 and 7 showed that the
Galatians had, already, turned to another gospel.
Jesus spoke of His message the Kingdom of God --
as the "word" that He spoke. The
apostles, as you'll read all through the book of
Acts, went everywhere preaching "the
word" -- meaning the Kingdom of God.
The
"Gospels" Being Preached Today
I have
said that you hear many gospel programs today.
One uses the slogan, "Preaching Christ to
the Nations." One might ask, "Well,
what's WRONG about preaching ABOUT Christ?"
Or, "What's wrong about preaching a gospel
of grace?" Or "What's wrong about
proclaiming a message about salvation?" I
have shown you the scriptures showing they
started, even in the first century, preaching
about a DIFFERENT Jesus -- a Jesus supposed to
have abolished His Father's commandments -- who
turned "grace" into license to disobey
(II Cor. 11:4, 13-15 and Jude 4). They do not
today preach the REAL Jesus, who said, "I
have kept my Father's commandments," setting
us an example that we should keep them also. If
those who claim to preach a gospel of SALVATION
understood and proclaimed WHAT salvation really
is -- whether it is going to a PLACE, being
changed into a different CONDITION, or WHAT -- or
WHERE- -and HOW it may be obtained, it might be a
part of the true gospel. But today's
"gospel" programs do not teach what
salvation really is or how one may receive it.
When the blind lead the blind, they all fall into
the ditch.
Just
What Is the Kingdom of God?
So it's
time we come to UNDERSTAND just what is the
Kingdom of God! What is a kingdom? The Bible
speaks of several kingdoms. The first world
empire the Chaldean Empire often called
"Babylon" -- was a kingdom. God
inspired the prophet Daniel to say to its king,
Nebuchadnezzar, " ... the God of heaven hath
given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and
glory" (Dan. 2:37). Then there was the
kingdom of Israel -- the family descended from
Israel, which became one of earth's nations or
governments. The kingdom of Israel was a
forerunner of the Kingdom of God. It will be
composed of the Spirit-born children of God --
the Family of God, organized into a governing
Kingdom.
Therefore
the kingdom of God will be dual: (1) A
GOVERNMENT. A government -- or kingdoms composed
of four things: (a) a KING, ruling over (b)
people, subjects or citizens within (c) a
definite jurisdiction of territory, with (d) laws
and an organized system of administering them.
(2) A FAMILY (as the kingdom of Israel was a
family of the children of Israel) -- in this case
the Family of God -- a family into which humans
may be born, which shall be a GOVERNING or RULING
family that shall have jurisdiction over ALL
NATIONS -- that is, the WHOLE EARTH -- and,
later, the entire universe.
The
Kingdom: a Government Christ is to be the King of
the Kingdom of God. He is the Son of God, whom He
addressed as His Father. When the Church, by a
resurrection or instantaneous change from mortal
to immortal (from physical to spirit composition)
becomes the Spirit-composed children of God,
Christ will marry the Church which shall become
His wife. So we have Father, Son, wife, and
children of the Father- -all a FAMILY
relationship the Divine God Family!
| Ephesians
5:21-32 Submitting yourselves one
to another in the fear of God. Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord. For the husband is the
head of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the church: and he is the saviour
of the body. Therefore as the church is
subject unto Christ, so let the wives be
to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church, and gave himself
for it; That he might sanctify and
cleanse it with the washing of water by
the word, That he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without
blemish. So ought men to love their wives
as their own bodies. He that loveth his
wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet
hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the
church: For we are members of his body,
of his flesh, and of his bones. For this
cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his
wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church. |
Notice,
now, some of the prophecies: "Therefore the
Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall
call his name Immanuel [which means "God
with us"]" (Isa. 7:14). "For unto
us [Israel] a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of
his government and peace there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the Eternal of hosts will perform
this" (Isa. 9:6-7).
The
angel Gabriel is a super archangel -- a cherub --
one of only three mentioned in the Bible. It is
recorded, "And in the sixth month [of the
pregnancy of Elizabeth] the angel Gabriel was
sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named
Nazareth, to a virgin espoused [betrothed] to a
man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David;
and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel
came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed
art thou among women .... And the angel said unto
her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour
with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his
name Jesus. 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: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob
for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no
end" (Luke 1:26-33).
When
Jesus was on trial for his life before Pilate,
the Roman ruler said to Him, "Art thou a
king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am
a king. To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I should bear
witness unto the truth." However, Jesus also
explained to Pilate that His Kingdom -- His
rulership -- was not of this world -- this time
-- this present age, saying, "My kingdom is
not of this world ... but now is my kingdom not
from hence" (John 18:36).
What
Christ's Gospel Was All About
Christ's
gospel -- the message He brought from God -- was
the advance good news of the establishment of the
Kingdom of God. But just what does that include?
And why is the Kingdom of God necessary? Just how
does it affect and relate directly to your
personal and individual life?
Actually,
Christ's message of God's coming Kingdom is
directly concerned with world conditions as they
are -- with human nature -- its source and origin
with world evils, suffering, unhappiness -- with
world peace. It's concerned with government --
with the reason present human governments fail to
be the benefactors of their peoples they are
supposed to be. His message hits directly at the
very roots of individual personal happiness and
at the awesome transcendent potential of each
human life. It is concerned with the CAUSES of
present conditions that affect every human and
with the WAY that will solve all problems. But it
is concerned with far, far more. It is concerned
with God's tremendous, overwhelming, overall
purpose as Creator of the entire universe. It's
concerned with the entire vast universe, filled
with its uncountable galaxies, nebulae, suns,
stars, planets, and with God's purpose for them.
It's concerned with all the angels with the fact
that one third of all God's created angels turned
to SIN, and God's great purpose and plan to
prevent such a catastrophe happening to the other
two thirds. Most of these things are never
remotely considered in religious teachings in
this world. God's message is concerned with
overall truth.
The
Incredible Human Potential at last Revealed!
Does it
make sense to you -- when humanity has been
endowed with such tremendous mental power -- that
more than HALF of all people on earth should be
illiterate, living in abject poverty, near
starvation, in filth and squalor? Does it make
sense to you that human civilization has
developed modern science, higher education, the
world's religions and its great governments, yet
all these are in total ignorance of the way to
world peace? None of these can tell us what man
is, whether he was put on earth for a purpose,
what that PURPOSE IS, where he is going or how to
get there. Does it make sense to you -- with man
endowed with such great powers -- that the world
should be filled with so much unhappiness,
troubles and evils? Did God Almighty the Creator
purpose and ordain all of this? It's time to
clear up this mystery. It's time we understand.
It's time we come to the answer of these
supposedly unanswerable questions that seem to
baffle all human thought.
Man
Has Rejected This Knowledge
What is
the most necessary of all knowledge to know? It
is the knowledge of what man is; the knowledge of
why he is -- the PURPOSE for which humanity was
put on earth; the knowledge of the way to achieve
that purpose -- of the way to world peace, peace
between individuals, groups and nations; the
knowledge of the cause of all the world's
troubles and evils; the knowledge of the solution
to all these problems; the knowledge of the true
values -- what is important and what is
worthless.
That is
the missing dimension in knowledge. Look at the
situation as it is now -- our present, pulsating
twenty first century. Supposedly this is the day
of enlightenment and mass production of
knowledge. But both modern science and higher
education have rejected the sole source of this
basic knowledge revelation -- and no religion has
given us this most-needed knowledge, though it is
all contained in the book generally supposed to
be the source of belief of at least three of the
world's great religions.
Look at
the situation as it was more than 1900 years ago.
Jesus Christ came from heaven with a message from
God containing this knowledge. But even most of
those who believed on Him disbelieved the message
He brought and demanded His crucifixion for
declaring it. His apostles went forth proclaiming
the message; they too, with one possible
exception, were martyred. Before the end of the
first century, Christ's gospel message was
suppressed and a spurious "gospel"
proclaimed.
Go now
all the way back to the beginning of humanity on
the earth. Our very first parents rejected this
same revealed knowledge imparted to them by their
Maker in person. They disbelieved what He said.
Yet they did believe Satan's lies. They disobeyed
by stealing the forbidden fruit. They took to
themselves the knowledge of what is good and what
is evil. All humanity has followed their example
ever since. The Eternal God nevertheless has made
this vital revealed knowledge and truth available
to any willing to BELIEVE what He says -- in His
inspired book, the Book of books -- the Holy
Bible. This book has actually become the world's
best seller. But this precious book has been
interpreted and misinterpreted, distorted,
twisted, misrepresented, misunderstood, and
maligned as no other book ever has. Humans have
written uncounted millions of books. People
BELIEVE what these books say, though they may be
partly, mostly, or totally in error and devoid of
truth. People take these books literally to mean
what they say. Yet of the Bible they will say,
"You surely don't take the Bible literally,
do you?" They will not believe this book
means what it says. It is the very Word of the
living God, but they refuse to believe what God
says. And thus disbelieving humanity continues
stumbling on its way, piling up the mountains of
human woes, discontent, unhappiness, sorrows
pain, suffering and death. Yet the Eternal God of
truth and mercy makes available even today -- in
this end-time of the present evil world -- vital,
exciting, new knowledge to those willing to
believe what He says and to obey it.
More
than fifty years ago ON PROOF, I came to BELIEVE
and OBEY. And in His Word the living God has
opened my mind to the awesome human potentiality
the missing dimension in knowledge; to the CAUSES
of all humanity's evils and to the WAY to world
peace and how it finally is going to come. And
the same God of all creation has opened before me
the doors to unusual favor in the eyes of heads
of state all over the world as an ambassador
without human portfolio for world peace and a
builder of bridges for peace between nations.
The
Vast Universe -- and Man
In this
Book of all books, God reveals Himself as Creator
of all, not merely the earth and man, but the
entire limitless universe. The Maker of mankind
is also the Creator of all. On a clear, cloudless
night one may behold the star-studded sky. Is it
possible there is an unrealized connection
between the galaxies with their mighty suns,
their planets -- and man? In this true story of
the incredible human potential, I deem it well to
look first to the Creator's overall purpose.
Prepare yourself for exciting new knowledge --
the incredible awesome potential for which
humanity was created and put here on earth.
Winston
Churchill said before the United States Congress
that there is a purpose being worked out here
below. Few indeed know what that purpose is; yet
it is plainly revealed. And it's the most
exciting, most wonderful, hope inspiring truth
that could ever be revealed. Did you ever wonder
about the countless millions of shining stars you
have seen on an otherwise black, cloudless night?
Sometimes they appear like a stupendous skyrocket
which has just burst out into a glittering
cluster. Many of them are tremendous suns
incredibly larger than our sun. Probably most of
them are surrounded by planets, like our sun is
surrounded by Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and
the other planets of our solar system. Haven't
you wondered about them? Are any of them
inhabited? Did they evolve, as most scientists --
astronomers, biologists, geologists theorize? Or
were they created by an all-intelligent,
all-powerful Creator Being? Were they created and
set in space FOR A PURPOSE? Do any of the planets
contain any kind of life, or are all like our
moon -- dead, decayed, lifeless, wasted, empty,
uninhabitable? And if they are in a dead state
and lifeless, WHY would an intelligent Creator
have created them thus? Or did He?
All
indications are that only our planet Earth is a
life-supporting planet. Others appear to be like
our moon -- dead, decayed, wasted and empty. Our
earth is part of the solar system which is part
of a single galaxy called the Milky Way. There
are many other galaxies on beyond ours. They
extend in space distances so vast the human mind
cannot conceive of them in terms of miles,
meters, or any measure of distance except light
years. So even though science knows comparatively
little about the limitless universe, revelation
tells us something amazing beyond words about
them. The first verse in the revealed Word of God
correctly reads: "In the beginning God
created the heavens and earth." The word
"heaven" in the King James should be
translated "heavens," since the
original Hebrew is in the plural. The ancient
King David of Israel wondered about the stars and
was inspired to tell us God created them.
