The New Covenant With Israel XI
We started today’s sermon with a Bible reading from Daniel 2, establishing our topic titled, “From the World of Gold to the World of Clay”.
The chapter read was centered around the dream king Nebuchadnezzar had and its interpretations. A background into the chapter explains that king Nebuchadnezzar demanded for the interpretation of the dream and made a decree that was accompanied with a death penalty. This shows how important the dream was to him, and this was a push for Daniel and his companions to seek God’s face for its interpretations. Brethren, this is exactly how God deals with his own children. He, most times pushes us to seek after him if he notices our retardation towards his demands from our lives.
Today, we had a proper study into the dream king Nebuchadnezzar had, explaining the mystery behind the content of the dream, and how it relates to our present world.
Interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
For the dream, God revealed to Daniel an image, which was a symbol of what was going to take place in the whole world. God who is all knowing knew every event that was going to spring up even before it’s beginning and that is why he gave the complete attributes of the four kingdoms that must rise and fall before the establishment of God’s kingdom. The image shown to Daniel describes the beginning and the end of the kingdoms of this world. It was an exposition to us the bride to understand why the whole world is deteriorating and will still become worse. The kingdom of this world was divided into 4 and ruled by 4 different ruling systems.
The Image revealed was divided into four (4) as explained below:
- The head which was made of Gold
- The breast and its arm which were made of silver
- The belly and its thighs which were made of brass
- The legs which were made of iron.
- The feet, which is an extension of the legs and is not a separate kingdom, which were made of a mix of iron and clay.
The following are the rulers of the kingdoms:
- Babylon
- Persia
- Greece
- Rome
- A mix of European Union countries
The above description was a periodic movement of the world from decency to total decay. The image was explaining to us how the standard of the world was going to deteriorate. This is more reason believers shouldn’t be surprised to see what we have around in this present world, because the Bible has revealed the mystery of this process to us as his chosen bride.
The first kingdom was a kingdom represented by gold. Gold in the image means: a kingdom with dignity; a kingdom where people fear God and live right; it’s a kingdom with good morals where people stood for the right doctrines, and promote the standard of the faith. It’s a kingdom where children respect parents, wife submits totally to her husband, not like what we have today. Now to the second kingdom, it’s a kingdom represented by silver; Silver being inferior to Gold explains the fall in quality, and in the standard of faith. This goes down to the current world represented by iron and clay. The moral standard from the kingdom of Gold to the last kingdom has fallen and will never rise until Christ is revealed.
THE LAST KINGDOM
The world is presently in the stage of clay and iron. It’s a stage where every thing good has been lost, what we have now is nothing but spiritual and moral decay. As Clay and Gold are entirely different in structure and quality, it is the same way the world represented by Gold is different from the world represented by clay. The iron and clay governance is the last phase the world will go through before the total destruction of the whole world, and only those who are rooted in Christ will be saved.
The feet of iron and clay was broken into pieces as Daniel 2:40 explains, and that’s why we have different divisions of government today (EU, ECC and others), but one thing they will lack, which we see today is unity. It is because these several divisions cannot cleave unto one another.
Destruction of All kingdoms
Daniel 2:44
Brethren, you should know that the kingdom of this world is going to be destroyed and God is going to set up a new kingdom which shall not be destroyed. This new kingdom shall destroy all other kingdoms and will stand forever. You should seek to be part of this kingdom by giving your lives to the standards of God’s word and you should not be carried away by the current decay you see all around because, the undiluted word of God is your ticket to being part of his divine kingdom.
Shalom, brethren.
The New Covenant With Israel X
God has chosen to pick the foolish things of the world such as you and me to know the mystery of the kingdom and has hidden it from the wise and prudent. We should therefore not despise this opportunity because to know God is a great privilege.
Today, we continued in our series, and furthered our study into ‘’The Mystery of the Woman.’’
Texts: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, Matthew 13:11, 2Thessalonians 2:3, 1John 2:18 Revelation 17:1-4, Jeremiah 51:7, Jeremiah 7:18, Jeremiah 44:18-26, 2Corinthians 6:14-18
As you have been taught that the (whore) great harlot in Rev. 17 is the Roman Catholic Church, the Bible also made us to understand that she will be judged. The church of God is not a whore; she is constituted of virgins (wise and foolish) which shows that this woman is not part of the church of God. The Bible gave us some details about the woman:
HER MAKE-UP
- She sits upon a beast. The beast has seven heads and ten horns which are the European Countries which Rome is part of.
- She is arrayed with precious stones, and having a golden cup in her hands – the golden cup is not for her, it was for God according to Jeremiah 51:7, but she perverted it by the abomination she filled it with.
- She looked outwardly good, being decked with precious things all over but, was discovered to be a MYSTERY, FULL OF ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH, which are her doctrines.
THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE MAKEUP OF THE WOMAN
She is mysterious in herself, and she also has a power which is called the Beast which she sits upon: This is the governmental Power that the European community gave to Rome being the capital of the world then (when it was an empire) to kill anyone who is not part of them. The Bible said that this beast was, and is not, and will ascend. During the time of the Roman Empire, she killed the saints of God. This then means that the same power she exercised upon the saints in the dark ages, she will still exercise it on the saints.
Of course, as at the time the book of Revelation was given to John, there was no Roman Catholic Church. So, it is sensible for anyone to ask how we come to tag the prophecies of the whore to Roman Catholic Church. Brethren, you, however need to know that God is Spirit, and the things He revealed to John were in spirit form, which must be manifested in people. Just like the spirit of murder has been from the pre-historic world, – manifested in the story of Cain and Abel- the same murder spirit was manifested in Roman Catholic Church during the Dark Ages when she killed billions of Protestants who refused her abominations (dogmas). Brethren, spirits don’t die.
The woman being arrayed in Purple and scarlet speaks of her worth and majesty. Study reveals that she is worth 30 billion dollars. They have the best in almost everything (schools, hospitals, missionaries, etc).
GOD’S COMMANDMENT TO THE ELECT
God commands you to come out of her, you should not be associated with her abominations, because God is going to judge her. Come and be baptized into the body of Jesus Christ and be saved from the wrath of God that is coming upon the world.
Secure yourself in Christ in whom there is no condemnation.
God bless you.
The New Covenant With Israel IX
We continued today on a subtopic titled “The mystery of iniquity” expounding more on our teaching “The new covenant with Israel”. Having explained what falling away was in our previous series, showing that falling away is not what happen to only unbelievers, rather it’s something that includes believers, people who proclaim to be Christians. The bad thing about falling away is that “a man falling away does not know”; most times a backslider always assume his ways are right, that is why a believer is to check themselves, if he or she is not drifting away and that can be done only by God’s mirror (The word of God).
TEXT: 2 Thessalonians 2: 3 – 7, Revelation 18:23, Revelation 17:1, Acts 13:6, Jeremiah 50:17, Revelation 13:7, 1 John 2 : 19
Last week we were able to point out what anti-christ means, who are the people called anti-christs and also who is “The anti-christ”. You can check back on our previous reviews for proper understanding. Today we had a background on the practice of the anti-christ (The man of sin).
THE MAN OF SIN IS A SORCERER
The man of sin is a sorcerer, brethren we should not be shocked at this tag. Revelation 18:23 exposed the hidden mystery of what the Anti-Christ will practice to accomplish his mission of deception, he is a man risen to deceive the nation by sorceries with a sole pursuit to pervert the word of God accompanied with killing of those who are raising the standard of God’s word. The works of sorcerers is to pervert and stand against God’s word and they are given to killing; we can see an example of that in Acts 13: 6 – 10 where Elymas being a sorcerer; he stood against the word of God and Paul and Silas who were ready to raise the standards of God’s word in Paphos. That is exactly what the man of sin is. He has done the first phase of this practice in the dark ages where he perverted the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and killed the Saints of God standing for the truth. He’s coming to replicate his act of sorceries after flattering his way into power.
ACTIONS OF THE MAN OF SIN AFTER THE RAPTURE
We should know that the man of sin is not coming to give the world peace rather he is coming to pervert everything that concerns God. Listed below are the actions he’s going to take:
- Make Himself God
- Establish his own law that are contrary to the word of God
- Pervert the word of God.
- Persecution of the foolish virgin (Revelation 13 :7)
Brethren when the man of sin shall be introduced, it is only the foolish virgin present that will stand up against his abominable acts which will lead to their persecution; just like we are currently standing up against the present anti-christs doctrines that are at work in this present time.
But at the moment the man of sin is hindered from taking his place because the saints of God must go in rapture first, until then the mystery of iniquity is at work. Now what is the mystery of iniquity? The mystery of iniquity might be hidden to the outside world but to us believers it is not. It is an act promoted by the current denominational churches that are void of the word of God.
Saints of God “The mystery of iniquity” is an act of spiritual lawlessness toward the word of God, that is why we see pastors promote the doctrine of trinity, put women on the pulpit and other abominations we can’t find in the Bible. More reason why anyone who claims to be a believer seen in an ungodly act should be checked if truly he or she is a true seed of God, because a seed of God should be up against every spiritual lawlessness. Are we sure we are not part of this works of iniquity with the way we handle the word of God?
Brethren we are a chosen people of God with a message to withstand every spiritual lawlessness we find in this our present age, so brethren we should raise up the standard standing against wrong doctrines and way of life.
Join us again as we dig deeper into this subject.
Shalom, Brethren.
Is The Bible True?
Brethren, we started today’s sermon with an exposition of some known facts in the Bible that is happening in our current age. The sub-headings below are extracts from the Bible to defend the existence of certain things.
TEXT:
Ecclesiastes 1: 4-8, Isaiah 14: 7, Genesis 1:1, Psalm 24: 1, Genesis 11: 1, Jeremiah 5: 22, Genesis 2: 13, Genesis 16: 11, Nahum 2:4
WHO CREATED MAN?
Issues, circumstances, events, occurrences and happenings in the earth have led the world aback on the question of whether there is God or not. Even the existence of man and his root is a mystery to them. The result of their findings, however is that man emanated from ape. Every natural man will reason this way if he has no confidence in the Bible. Nevertheless, everything written in the Bible proves that there is a God, the creator of the heaven and the earth. Even, nature itself and the process through which man lives and dies is a proof that God exists and that he is the creator of man and earth (Psalm 24:1).
Going further, and with the diverse prooofs in the Bible that there is God, one would conclude according to the Bible that it is only a foolish man that will say that there is no God (Psalm 14:1).
THE ROOT OF THE DIVERSIFICATION OF LANGUAGES
After the creation of man, God gave man only one language. Thus, they united to build a tower that would be as high as unto heaven. Because of this, God scattered their language and made it difficult for them to understand one another. This is how man began to speak different languages. (Genesis 11:1-9).
Having justified these facts from the Bible, we could say that God truly is God. And everything He has promised in His word will definitely come to pass. Therefore, ensure that you value the salvation you have and protect it.
THE COUNTRY, ETHIOPIA
Ethiopia was spoken about in the Bible right from Genesis. The country still exists even in year 2020. God didn’t allow the country, Ethiopia to change her name so that it will stand as a proof to the earth that the Bible is true. And if you don’t believe it, it means you don’t believe God. (Genesis 2: 13, 1 Kings 10: 1).
HOW DID ISLAM/ TERRORISM EMANATE?
Hagar, the maid servant of Sarai, conceived for Abram according to the desire of Sarai. Thereafter, Sarai drove her out of her house. But when Hagar departed, the angel of the Lord met with her and told her the characteristics of the baby, Ishmael in her womb. The Bible says he will be a wild man; his hands will be against every man (Genesis 16: 11). This description, no doubt, is the characteristics of terrorists and Islamists in the world.
AUTOMOBILES
One may be in shock after seeing the portion of the Bible that says that, “The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightening. “ (Nahum 2: 4). This portion of the Bible speaks about automobile – cars, lorry, etc.
No man, after reading these portions of the Bible should say that the Bible isn’t true – otherwise, he may be rightly termed as foolish.
The New Covenant With Israel VIII
Last week, our teaching was based on ‘The Falling Away’, and we were taught that this falling away will come first before the Day of the Lord comes. Thus, we need to understand God’s word, because it will keep us from falling if we continue in it. This falling away is what will reveal the Man of Sin. And that is what we dived into today.
TEXT: Jeremiah 31:31-34, Zachariah 12:9-10, 2Thessalonians 2:3, 1John 2:18-21, 1John 4:1, Revelation 12:9, 2Thessalonians 2:3-12, Revelation 20:2, Isaiah 8:20, John 1:6
WHO IS THIS MAN OF SIN?
The man of sin is ‘The Anti-Christ’ (only one man). He will be revealed after the rapture of the bride has taken place. Also, there are anti-christs who will still emerge, although some have already emerged even at the time John was writing his epistle to us in 1John 2:18 and 1John 4:1-3.
WHO ARE THESE ANTI-CHRISTS?
According to John, they are those who pretend to be believers but are not, they convert, but not with the word of God. They are busy about their own doctrines, leaving the truth of God untaught. They are the denominational preachers who are preaching dogmas, and are not building upon the faith of the apostles. And since God will not compromise the standard of his word with any man, they, therefore, are gradually falling away unknowingly and are preparing the way for the Man of Sin. Therefore, If you are opposing the word of God, and preaching contrary to the doctrines of the apostles of the Bible, you’re an ‘anti-christ.’ (1John 2:18 and 1John 4:1-3)
THE TRINITY OF THE DEVIL
Just as God has many titles, the Devil also has many titles. According to Revelation 12:9, this devil is called ‘’The Old Serpent, The Devil and Satan,’’ and these three titles doesn’t make him three, he’s still one. Same way God is one despite the three titles he has — father, son and HolySpirit.
WHO IS THIS MAN OF SIN AND HOW WILL HE TAKE OVER?
The man of sin is the Anti-Christ. He is also called vile person in Daniel 11:21. He is the One who will oppose the word of God insolently and exalt himself above the word of God — Jesus Christ. Note that ‘anti-’ is a prefix which means ‘against’, therefore, Anti-Christ is one who is against the word of God, and opposes it.
This Man of Sin will come from The Catholic Church. According to the Bible, she (the Catholic Church) is the mother of all the denominational churches.
The Anti-Christ will not be voted in; he will come in peaceably through vain deceits, and flattering words (Daniel 11:21). The world is going through a perplexed situation and it will keep going like this till the government of the world will not be able to handle the situation of the world anymore. Hence, the world will look for a religious and political person who can bring peace to the world. This is the medium through which he will be revealed. Truly, he will promise peace to the world and there will be peace. But he will only fulfill his promise for three and a half years. After which he is going to sit in Jerusalem, and break the promise. The world will not experience any true peace until the Prince of Peace comes to earth to reign.
Therefore, brethren, just as every man who must sit for an examination and pass must read hard, you should also strive to make the rapture. Accept Jesus Christ and walk in his ways now that you are in the age of grace. Don’t wait until you miss the rapture and you are fiercely tampered with by the man of sin and his cohorts so that you may deny Christ. If you miss the grace of Jesus Christ, will you be able to face the Anti-Christ?
God bless you.
The New Covenant With Israel VII
Today, God in His fullness came again to bless us with His Word, and below is the summary.
We are told that we should not compare ourselves with denominational people that only go to church to worship God. You don’t come to church only to worship. And it is not only when you are in church that you must worship God. You should always worship God in your secret place. Worship should become your habit. Also, you come to church to hear the word of God, and to know his mind. That is why God has chosen to bless you with these words that tell you what the future holds and what God plans to do. And according to the topic we are treating, we know that this gospel that the Israelites rejected will be accepted by them when it is God’s time.
That day – the rapture – will not come unless there is a falling away first. We know that before the establishment of the New Covenant with Israel, the Gentile bride will first experience rapture. Also, the Bible tells us that before the rapture will take place, there will be a falling away through the man of sin.
WHAT IS THIS FALLING AWAY?
Having had the understanding that Jesus will not come until there first come a falling away, it is expedient to know what this falling away is.
It is a falling away from the principles, laws, and doctrines of God, which will affect both the world and the church. Both the church and the world will defect from the Word of God. The church and the world will mingle together. That is what the Spirit is saying in 1Timothy 4:1 about people departing from ‘’The Faith’’, and will be giving heed to seducing spirits. Seducing spirits are gifts, doctrines, words and anything at all that cause you to depart from the word of God. Seductions carry attractions to lure you with, which is quite different from deceiving spirit. They will first bewitch you, – just as what Serpent did to Eve – and after you are captivated, deception sets in.
Truly speaking, there are doctrines of the devil all over the world today, and seducing spirits are all around, one of which is the Roman Catholic dogma of ‘praying in the name of Mary, the mother of Jesus’. Catholic Church, according to statistics, has more than 2billion members, and this means that more than 2billion souls have been captivated by seducing spirit! God didn’t give you the name of Mary to pray with, He gave you the name of Jesus Christ and that at the mention of his name every knee should bow. The doctrine of trinity, taking Lord’s Supper in the morning or afternoon, water baptism in trinity titles and many more anti-bible doctrines that has ravaged Christendom today are effects of the falling away that the Bible says must happen first before rapture takes place.
That is why, brethren, you are fortunate to be part of those who God has made to respond to the SHOUT of the Spirit of Elijah that was sent to you (Malachi 4:5). And you are being made wise virgins who will stay with the word of God without deflecting.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, please, hold firm to the mercy of God that has established you in the Word of God so that you may not fall away with the world.
Shalom, brethren.
