The Only True God, continued

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who we celebrate this seasonal holiday for (in Matthew 1:21). The angel told His mother Mary, “Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins”. It’s in Jesus name we greet you. And on behalf of His upcoming birthday we say, have a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Only True God” - - Jesus Christ, our savior whose birth we are about to celebrate is God of All. On last week we promised to continue writing this letter about the long list of positions Jesus held as “God” in the scriptures. We told you if Jesus is not “God of All, He is not God at all”. Well, the scriptures tell us that Jesus is “The Temple of God” (St. John 14:1) and the shew bread (St. John 6:35), Jesus is the veil of the temple (Matthew 27:51), Jesus is the altar (Hebrews 4:16), Jesus is the Lamb (St. John 1:29). Jesus is the servant and the master all at the same time (St. John 13:8-9). Jesus is the foundation of the church and the chief corner stone thereof (Ephesians 2:20). Jesus is a “destroying storm, as well as a convert from the tempest (Isaiah 28:2).

Precious Ones, and when we consider all of these things, it is to no wonder that the disciples said (in Mark 4:41), “What manner of man is this?” And why Saul said (in Acts 9:5), “who are thou Lord?” And His own people “The Jesus” (according to St. John 8:52), asked in St. John 8:53 “whom maketh thou thyself?” Chosen Ones, these questions are in the minds of many today. They wonder, why do we make such a big deal about Jesus? He’s just a prophet like Mohammed to the Muslims, or Joseph Smith to the Mormons, why does he deserve so much attention to celebrate a nationwide observance? Simple, because Jesus is “The Only True God”. Everyone and everything else is fake. In Isaiah 45:21 God said, “...there is no God else beside me: a just God and a savior; there is none beside me!

The Only True God, Part 1

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the Name of the One who “Gabriel” the Ark Angel spoke about to Mary saying (in Luke 1:32), “He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the highest...”. His Name is Jesus our Savior and soon coming King. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, as I promised you, we are inspired by the Holy Ghost, to commemorate Jesus Christ’s birthday to speak from a new subject entitled “The Only True God”!!! Let me start this letter off by saying—- - it is with reverence and adoration “bow”, our knees unto Jesus Christ. Because Paul taught us in Philippians 2:9—10, “...God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name above every name—that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth….”. And because of the instruction given to us by that scripture we also give unto our God the glory due His name! And while we make mention that the Name of Jesus is exalted above every name that is in “Heaven and in Earth”, hence the demons of hell are enraged, the religious world is astonished, and the tents of the fearful crowd pleasers are being violent by shaken by the “rushing mighty wind” (Acts 2:2) of revelation that is God! I’m glad we finally revealed this point, because I feel the same way saints will feel who will gather around Jesus’ throne in eternity (you’ll find their expression in Revelation 5:12), “saying with a loud voice worthy is the Lamb and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing”. Don’t you believe that
he who was slain is worthy to be honored as God! I know I do!

Precious Ones, we have “beheld the lambs of God” (St. John 1:29). We have honored the “Prince of Peace” (Isaiah (9:6). We have rejoiced in the “Rock of Our Salvation” (Psalms 18:46), and have walked in the “Light of Life” (St. John 1:4). We have seen that Christ is our “Sheppard” (St. John 10:11) as well as “the door to the sheep
fold” (St. John 10:1). Revelations 22:16 says, Jesus is “the root and the offspring of David”, as well as His son and His God! We claim Jesus to be our “High Priest” in heaven (according to Hebrew 4:15), and the offering that was slain for out sins. If all of their in “True” then Jesus has to be God. As you have heard me say so often “If God is not God of all, He is not God at all!!!”

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 7

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who inspired the Apostle Paul to write (in Galatians 6:9), “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”. The inspirations behind those words came from none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; it’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in conclusion of this series of letters entitled, “The Woman and the Man Child” - - in the last days that men will be given the opportunity to receive salvation, those who failed to overcome the temptation not to receive the “Mark of the Beast”, (which will be the Anti -Christ), along with the 144,000, and become defiled because of fear to sacrifice the leisure of shopping, buying and receiving goods and etc, they will all be destroyed through “Babylon, the great and her daughters” (or—- her nations). Read Revelations 17:1—3 when you have time.

Precious Ones, even though that be so, we must NOT overlook the fact that we must be overcomers today! That is, if we desire to take part with the “Perfect Man” (Psalms 37:37) to which the church is destined to arrive during the Gentile Period of the church. These series of letters allowed us to peek at the future where no Gentiles will be saved. Our time is now. Therefore, don’t take it for granted that we will always have an opportunity to go to church and receive salvation. But isn’t it refreshing to know that an honest heart need to have not fear (I John 4:18). “There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear”. If our “love” is set in Jesus, He will deliver us. That’s why God revealed unto Moses to write in a Psalms (chapter 91, verses 14—16), “Because He hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him upon high, because he hath known my name (Jesus). He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my
salvation”.

I will write unto you next week from a new subject to
commemorate Jesus Christ’s birth. These upcoming letters will be
entitled, “The Only True God”
I’m looking forward to sharing with you what God has given me.
Until then, I love you all so very much

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 6

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the Name of the One who said (in St. John 10:10) ”….I am come that (ye) might have life, and that—more abundantly”. The only one I know who’s purpose of existence was to give us “abundant life” is Jesus Christ our Savior and soon coming king, whose birthday we will celebrate in just 24 days.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man Child” - - we find the 144,000 Israelites in Mt. Sion unto the lamb after the “mankind” is caught up to the throne. Revelations 14:1 says, “And I looked, and lo, a lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his father’s name written in their foreheads “. If Jesus name will be written “in their foreheads”, that means that these will at that day except Jesus Christ as their messiah! Chosen Ones, why wait until then to discover that Jesus is the true and living God? “The Woman” will represent “The Church on its consummation” and the Jewish nation!!! This is why Paul, to comfort the Christians at Rome, prophesied about a time when (in Romans11:26) “(the Jews) or all Israel shall come out of Sion the deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. In other words, in that day the Jewish nation will flee into a place God has prepared for her. God will pressure her (meaning Israel’s) remnant because the dragon (anti-Christ) will make work with Israel during the close of the Gentile period. That’s why John said in Revelations 12:17, “And the dragon uses wrath which (will) keep the commandments of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ”.

Precious Ones—why should we wait until the Gentile period we live in is over, we should keep the commandments” of God right now and testify of the Goodness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ right now!!!

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 5

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the Name of the One whom Paul wrote about in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. Paul’s “strength” is our “strength” today, Jesus Christ our savior and soon coming King. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man -Child” - - When the principles of the Mosaic Laws loses its force to the future Jewish converts, it is revealed unto us that they will rise about those principles. The Jews crown and glory will be that the twelve Apostles were her own people according to the flesh.

Precious Ones, in that day the 144,000 remaining Jews will acknowledge that Jesus is her Messiah. And even as it is today, many have not come to the full knowledge of the truth even then she will be in travail (she—meaning the Jewish race) to bring forth a “Man-Child” who was to “rule all nations with a rod of iron” (according to Revelations 12:5). In other words, Christ shall make a personal appearance unto them and then they will know and believe that Jesus is God. Remember, Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 2:3, “And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Chosen Ones, in other words, if the “Man-Child” is to rule the nations (another revelation of Him is Christ the God-Man), He must rule Mt. Zion, for there is the place from wherever the law shall come from. I will confirm this forgoing statement in next weeks letter. Just be thankful we don’t have to wait to believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

I love you all so very much

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 4

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said (in St. John 15:17), “These things I command you that ye love one another”. The author of those words is none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man -Child” - - the Laodicean age Christians (according to Revelations 3:21) “shall sit with (God) on (His) throne”. But those who miss this time of salvation shall pass on into the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”. This is a biblical metamorphic term indicating a time when the wrath of God shall be poured out on this earth. When you have time, study Jeremiah 30:5— 7.

Precious Ones, during that time of God’s wrath “The Woman” (the church), which will be no longer Gentile (because we will already be in heaven); but Israelitish, comes to the knowledge of Christ! Evidently “The Man-Child” (or-the 144,000 baby over comers out of the Tribe of Israel) is saved through the preaching of what the Apostle John calls the “Two-witnesses” (in Revelations 11:3). Some theologians believe the “Two-witnesses” will be (1) Moses and (2) Elijah who appeared in the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus and Peter, James and John. Read Matthew 17:4, Mark 9:5 and Luke 9:33.

Chosen Ones, one thing we do know is that the `144,000 that shall escape the wrath of God will be “clothed with the sun” (according to Revelations 12:1) representing the Glory of God. Even more importantly, those Jews will receive the “Glory” of the gospel of Christ. Why? Because (again in Revelations 12:1) “The moon (will be) under her feet” which symbolizes the Mosaic laws will lose it’s influence in their eyes and have power at all.

Anointed Ones, all of these means that every Jew that is blinded now to Jesus being Messiah , will eventually have the truth reveled to them but only a small remmenant will benefit from God’s grace to deliver them from their blindness. These scriptures teach us to appreciate this time God has revealed to us Gentiles and Jewish believers who Jesus really is.

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 3

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said, “Whosoever seeketh to save his life shall loose it…” (Luke17:33). The author of this warning to selfish people is none other thanour Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man Child” - I shared with you in last weeks letter that “The Woman” is the future church during God’s final dealings with the Jewish Nation. And “The Man-Child” is the future 144000 overcomer’s coming out of the Israelites church. In this week’s letter, during your personal Bible studytime compare this revelation and parallel it to the Gentile church today.We are nearing the close of the Gentile age! How do we know? Because we are in the era that the Apostle Paul desired to see before his days were gone. He shared his desire in Ephesians 4:13. Paul’s desire was that all believers, both Jew and Gentile (or Greek Ephesians) would “all come (or—develop) in the unity (or—oneness) of the faith, and of the knowledge (or-comprehension that in full and accurate) of the son of God, unto a perfect man (or-a complete man according to Christ standards), unto the easure of the stature (or personal development) of the fullness of Christ”.

Precious Ones, Paul’s desire is manifested today. All over the world, Gentiles and Jews have coagulated (come-together) to believe that Jesus is the almighty God. They are manifesting traits of “Perfect” (or complete) “Men & Women” who come forth in the power of the spirit. Do you see it? We are the overcomers of the “Laodicean” age who (according to Revelation 3:21) “Shall sit with (God) (on His) throne”. The future church does not have this promise of reward, only this church ear!

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 2

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said (in St. John 11:40), “...Thou shouldst see the glory of God”. The only one who is the full manifestation of God’s glory is Jesus Christ. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man Child” - it’s time to reveal the revelation behind the biblical metaphors of this theme. From what we can
observe, “The Woman” is the church during God’s final dealings with the Jewish Nation. The Israelites were considered a church first before we Gentiles were drafted. Deacon Stephen said in Acts 7:38, “They were a Church in the Wilderness.” The “Man-Child” appears to be the baby that Israel shall bring forth during the reign of Christ on this earth, which is the 144,000 over comers out of the Israelitieth church. Of course, this hasn’t happened yet, but John said in
Revelations 14:1 “And I looked, and, low, a lamb stood on the Mount Sion (or Zion—*which represents the church), and with him an hundred forty and four thousand having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

Chosen Ones, in other words, there is coming a day where salvation will only come at the expense of impending suffering (such as Jesus having to hide during the great
tribulation to escape judgement). Now is the best time for our loved ones to come to Christ. If they miss the rapture, their children will have to be exacuted in order to receive salvation. You don’t want them to suffer that!

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 1

For Sunday, October 14, 2007

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said, “….There is none good but one, that is God” (Mark 10:18). The author of those words is none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It’s in his name that I greet you.

Beloved, the Holy Spirit has led me to write unto you from a new subject entitled, “The Woman and the Man Child". Have you ever studied the Apocalyptic writings of the Apostle John in Revelation, and wondered what all the commotion is concerning “The Woman and the Man Child? Or do you wonder why there so much being said about this subject? Or who has really struck the keynote of this mysterious vision other than John? Or—what could in reality be the interpretation of the Apocalyptic account of the desolate Isle of Patmos? Well, prayerfully with the help of the Holy Spirit, we will answer these questions in this series of letters to you. But, keep in mind, mysterious things always invite speculation and multitudes of hypothetical expositions!

Precious Ones, the “Man-Child” is mentioned as far back as Isaiah 66:7 to Revelations 12:5 & 13. Yet, there are many phases of the progress of the church to which this symbolical wonder has been made applicable by various writers and teachers upon the prophetic vision of the Apocalypse (or—the revelation of the future destruction of evil). I just want you to know Beloved, the interpretation has been as numerous throughout the scriptures is the interpreter.

Chosen Ones, I also want to say that it is not my intention to present the final conclusion of all of these views, but with God’s help highlight the harmonizing or similarities in them with one another! By way of application, these views can be used to designate any stage of the purpose of the church (or “the ecclesia (Greek) ) Jesus established. Therefore from the call of faith in men toward God in Abraham (in Genesis 12:1) until the setting up of “The Kingdom that shall not be stopped” (Daniel 2:44). Many illustrations used in the attempt to draw a conclusion as to the revelation of “The Woman and the Man Child’s” significance in scriptures are beautiful, but there is something important to consider when we come to look at the subject squarely in the face. I look forward to sharing with you in next weeks edition to give you an insight as to what all of this means.

That Rock is Christ, continued

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said (in Matthew 16:13), “….whom do men say that I the son of man am?” I’m so glad that we know He is Jesus—Son of God and God of the son all the same time.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “that Rock is Christ” - - King David’s faith in “The Rock” of Israel was firm. He trusted in God alone saying (in Psalms 18 and 31 combined), “Who is a rock save (or—except) our God? God is my strength and power unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to THE
ROCK that is higher than I”.

Let me pause here for a moment by saying that “Our Rock” is much more intelligent, wiser, and protective of us than we are of ourselves. David said it correctly, He is “Higher Than” us!! “As far as the heaven is above the earth, so far are thy ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts (Isaiah).

Precious Ones, David goes on to say in Psalms 40:2 “He (meaning our God) brought me up also out of a horrible pit out of the miry (or deep, soggy and very wet) clay, and set my feet upon a Rock...”. Beloved what a blessed thing it is to be made to stand upon a Rock!

Chosen Ones, “The Rock” we are made to stand on is Christ Jesus. This comes from the Messianic category of Psalms. In other words, the Psalms that prophesy about the coming of Jesus (the Messiah) Christ. Only Jesus’ death on Calvary, and His blood shed, brought all of our souls from “The Miry Clay” — or the deep, soggy and very wet muddy effects of sin. The song that my Beloved Sister Laurie Robinson loves to hear us sing every time she comes back home to visit from New York—”He Brought Me Out”. The inspiration of the lyrics for that song came from Psalms 40:2, “He brought me out of the miry, clay, he placed my feet on A Rock to stay, he put a song in my soul today, a song of His praise hallelujah”.
