The Gospel of the Kingdom of God

(PART C)

GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATIONFOR ALL MANKIND

Unless noted, the Old King James Version (OKJV) will be used

I want everyone around this world who will read this message to know that the Almighty God has given me a commission to tell you truth. However, because you have not heard the truth many times and realize this, you are completely turned off to His words and wisdom. I understand your feelings.

Therefore, my goal is to reach people like you who have experienced the above problem, by informing you that “a change you can believe in”will soon take place on this earth. It is going to be so wonderful that when understood, it will seem unbelievable and impossible. However, God says in His word, by way of His servant the Apostle Paul, “the fashion of this world (the way mankind is doing things) are about to pass away (I Corin. 7:31).

This is the reason: It has to do with GOD’S PLAN OFSALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND, which only a few (those whom God has divinely selected (I THES. 1:4) can comprehend. Because it is given to them to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest, (the general public) it is not given (Matt.13:11; Mk.4:11).

Consequently, God is sending me to tell the world HELP IS COMING! This help is found in the Christian Bible. However, a person has to do as the Apostolic Father, Clement, who was with the Apostle (Phil.4:3) said we should “Look diligently into the Scriptures which are the true saying so the Holy Spirit” [I Clements, Ch. 45:2]. It’s because God the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (John 16:13). He has imparted wisdom to me because I asked Him, without doubting His answers (James 1:5-8).

Therefore, what you are about to learn in (PART C) of this message, will be the deep things from God (I Corin. 2:10) that I have been given. With the guidance from God the Holy Spirit, I will continue to further your understanding regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND. When you read this particular message, you will understand my knowledge regarding the complete mysteries about Jesus Christ (Eph.3:4) and the wisdom he has given to me also (II Pet.3:15).

You see everyone God the Holy Spirit has given to me the knowledge of God’s Divine Plan. I am not lying to you, nor am I on some ego trip. He has open my mind to what belongs to Jesus Christ (John 16:14) and guides me regarding how I should speak to the world and I have not been rebellious (Isa.50:4,5). After all, I look to God the Holy Spirit who is teaching me all things (John 14:26) about the gospel of peace, and the good things that are coming to this planet (Rom 10:15).

Now the above Divine Plan, or God’s Plan Of Salvation For All Mankind was previously hidden from many of His prophets (Dan.12:8,9; Matt:13:17; I Pet.1:10). It was also hidden from the religious leaders during Jesus’ day (John 12:37-40), and kept secret since the world began (Rom16:25). However, it was revealed to those who were divinely selected (IThes.1:4), and entrusted to teach it (I Thes. 2:4). Because God gave them His word, and they had the responsibility to declare His provable truths throughout the world (Ps.68:11). However, a problem came about, as a result.

Those who went about proclaiming the “Way” which was a new manner or, method of conducting oneself were persecuted by the religious authorities. It’s because the religious leadership wanted the Apostle’s teachings from, and about Jesus Christ suppressed. Therefore, they had the Christians beaten (Acts 5:28,40), stoned to death,(Acts 7:59), and thrown into prison (Acts 8:3).

However, persecution came from the civil authorities as well. One of the Apostles, named James, by order of the King, was killed with a sword (Acts 12:1,2). The Apostles Paul, and Barnabas (Acts 14:14) were brought before magistrates. By orders of these civil authorities the Apostles clothes were torn off, they were beaten, and then thrown into prison (Acts 16:21,22). Soon, through antiquities, God’s Plan Of Salvation For All Mankind was eventually lost.

Today, the mysteries pertaining to God’s Plan Of Salvation For All Mankind which is the good news from Him, is being made known to all nations around this world (Rom.16:26). It’s through the Web, YouTube and free literature carried to the homes and given to the persons walking the streets. The purpose is to let the world know HELP IS COMING!

Therefore, in (PART C), I want to continue where I stopped in (PART B), after God the Father had conferred upon Jesus Christ great honors, and great glory, when He went back to Heaven victoriously. Something wonderful was going to happen to Jesus’ disciples, and it would spread throughout the world upon others also.

However, before I continue, there is something very important that you need to know. It’s imperative that I share with you the following truths. It would be remiss of me not to do it, in this preamble.

What I want to share with you pertains to Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. This, I need to explain in greater detail, something I left out in (PART B). I do not want to leave you uninformed regarding things pertaining to God’s Plan Of Salvation For All Mankind.

Therefore, be very attentive to the following truths:

The Death, Burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ: What really happen?

Regarding the above question, “what really happen?” You need to know that several things were taking place.

First, it was beginning of the Seven Sabbaths found in (Lev.23:15), and they were called “the feast of weeks” (Deut.16: 9,10).

Next, it was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Israelites were not allowed to work on the first, and last day, during this seven day period (Lev.23: 6,7; EX.12:15,16).

Finally, there were two Sabbaths that week: The High Day (John 19:31), and the regular Seventh Day Sabbath rest Lev.23:6,7).

With the help of God the Holy Spirit guiding me, I shall explain the above. So please, be very attentive to all of these truths you are about to learn.

After Jesus Christ resurrection from being dead for three days and three nights (Matt.12:40; Mk.8:31), it would be a period of seventy-two hours when He reappeared again on the first day of the week before Mary Magdalene. This Mary is the same person that Jesus cast out seven demons from her (Mk.16:9).

I need to stop, and explain the significance regarding the meaning of this “first day of the week”. It is something that I didn’t do in (PART B). However, God the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention. Therefore, this is very important because several events were taking place, during, and after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.

For example, the word week in (Mk.16:2) is in the plural. Because in the Greek the word week is sabbatwv and it means Sabbaths [The Greek Interlinear, (KJV-NIV) Parallel New Testament in Greek and English (#4521) by Albert Marshall].

Therefore, the word week in this verse is not talking about the first day of the week (Sunday) as it is commonly taught by theologians. On the contrary, it was referring to the first start of the Seven Sabbaths found in (Lev,23: 15), and commonly called the feast of weeks found in (Deut.16:9,10).

Furthermore, there were two Sabbaths within the start of the first of the Sabbath weeks. It was the High Day that was called a Sabbath (John 19:31), and the regular Seventh Day Sabbath rest (Lev.23:3).In this period, Jesus remained dead between these two Sabbaths, during the beginning of the Sabbath weeks. In the Greek, it also refers to “intervals between two Sabbaths” [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#4521)].

In addition to the above, the Scripture says “when the Sabbath was past” (Mk.16:2) the women came when it was a little dark, but the Sun was rising (Mk.16:2). However, the word week in (Mk. 16:1) in the Greek, the word is sabbatov. It means Sabbath, and it is singular, not the plural Greek word sabbatwv because there are differences between these words. This should be very important for theologians, if they never studied Greek, or never truly examined the meaning of these words in these verses. I will explain how the above conclusion was reached.

Regarding the two Greek words sabbatwv, and sabbatov, depending on the ending of the last two letters of these Greek words, those ending letters will change the meaning, as a result.

For example, “I” is singular, and “we” is plural. The singular word ends with ov, and plural ends with wv [Teach Yourself Book: Basic Greek; New Testament Greek Workbook For Layman, pg.114, Lesson Twenty-Two, By Jim Found].

Consequently, in (Mk.16:1), the word week in (verse one) is translated in the [Greek Interlinear] as Sabbath, or sabbatov in the Greek. It is singular because the last two letters are ov. It sounds is like sabbatoo. However, the word week in (Mk.16:2) is translated in the Greek as sabbatwv. It sounds like sabbaton. Please be patient everyone because God the Holy Spirit is leading me to explain something that is equally important to you. What you are about to learn, I know that you did not realize.

According to the above information, during the first week of the feast of weeks (Deut.16:9,10) there was a High Day (John19:31). Seventy-two hours later was the weekly Sabbath. Between these two Sabbaths, for seventy-two hours, Jesus Christ remained dead in the tomb. After three days, and three nights (a period of seventy-two hours) when the women came to anoint the body of Jesus, they met angels. These angels told them “He is not here, but has risen” (Luke 24:1-8).

What God the Holy Spirit has given to me, regarding this next thing is so important. Because what you are about to learn goes against popular theology. You are going to be very surprised.

For example, the angels said to the women, “He is not here (not in the tomb) but has risen.” Remember, this is after three days, and three nights (Matt.12:40; Mk. 8:31; Matt.27:63).

The Scripture says “in the ninth hour [3:00 pm] (Luke 23:44) Jesus gave up the ghost. Jesus breathed His last breath of air (Luke23:46). Jesus died on the cross in the afternoon, at [3:00 pm]. It was a few hours before the Sun went down. However, according to the Law of Moses, a criminal who had been executed, and they hanged him on a tree,” his body shall not remain all night upon the tree…bury him that day” (Deut.21:22,23). The Sabbath comes under this law as well (John 19:31).

Because of the above Law, the Jews went to Pilate to have the criminals (this would include Jesus Christ whom the religious leaders considered He was one also) to be taken away and buried. However, it was Joseph of Arimathaea, from a city of the Jews (Luke 23:50,51) and Nicodemus who begged Pilate for the body Jesus. After these two men were granted permission, they took it away and put Jesus’ body into a tomb (John 19:38-42).

Consequently, Jesus was put into the tomb before the Sun went down, and remained there for three days and three nights (72 hours). Then, before the Sun went down after (72 hours) later Jesus rose from being dead. Therefore, when the women came to anoint Jesus’ body, the first day of the week had already started. However, it was still dark, but the light was beginning to appear. Plus, the Seventh Day Sabbath had been over when the sun had gone down earlier.

Regarding all of the above information, you have to take the following into account, in order to arrive at an intelligent conclusion of the matter. The Scriptures, the Greek meaning of words, and calculating the amount of hours that Jesus was in the tomb, you have the answer: Jesus died on Wednesday at [3:00pm]. He was put into the tomb before the Sun went down on Wednesday. He remained dead, body, soul and spirit, for three days and three nights, a total of seventy-two hours. After seventy-two hours, and on the Sabbath Day Rest, while it was getting close to the Sun going down, Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

Consequently, the doctrine of Jesus dying on Friday, and a Sunday resurrection of His body are bogus. You cannot get three days, and three nights (72 hours) between Friday before the Sun goes down and Sunday morning. It’s completely unscriptural. That’s not even (48 hours). Believe what God the Holy Spirit is teaching you everyone.

For further proof, notice what the Apostolic Father who was taught by the Apostle John wrote: “And before sunset He was buried. During the Sabbath He continued under the earth, in the tomb in which Joseph of Arimathaea had laid Him. The day of preparation then, comprises the passion; the Sabbath embraces the burial; the Lord’s day continues the resurrection” [Ignatius to the Trallians, Ch.9:66-68].

This man Ignatius received this information from the Apostle John, because he was taught by the Apostle. He believed what he had learned from John, taught, and died for it.

You who are reading this message, believe in the Lord your God! Believe what He said would happen to Him (Matt.12:40; Mk. 8:31). If you do, “so shall ye be established; believe His Prophets, so shall ye prosper” (II Chron.20:20). In Hebrew, the word prosper means “push forward, break out, come (mightly) ” etc. [STRONG’SEXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#6743]).

In other words, you will push forward, and break out from the cocoon of the unlearned. But you must be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy Prophets and the commandments of the Apostles of the Lord and Savior (II Pet.3:2).

Understand me everyone who is reading this report, believe it (Isa.53:1). Jesus Christ was beaten to pieces, spat on, and His beard was torn off of His face. After thorns were made into a crown, and put on His head, He was led out, and nailed to a tree that was in the shape of a cross. Upon this cross Jesus suffered for hours, until He finally died.

You see everyone Jesus Christ went through it all because of knowing GOD’S PLAN OFSALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND. The Apostles knew about God’s plan, and taught it to their disciples. Some of these disciples were ordained Apostles, and over churches, like Epaphroditus. He was called messenger (Phil.2:25); however, in the Greek language, the word messenger is apostle [STRONG’S CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#652)]. Titus was among the messengers. He was an apostle over the Churches of Christ (I Corin.8:23). There were Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers (Eph.4:11). Some were ordained Bishops, such as Clements, Ignatius, Polycarp and Irenaeus.

They all knew about GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND. I will explain later what they went through because of teaching the very thing you are learning now.

It is taught in popular theology that when Jesus died, His body and soul died but His spirit was alive and descended into Hell. Theologians use (Eph.4:9). Being there, they also teach that when Jesus arrived, He preached to the demons and Satan. (I Pet. 3:19) is used as proof. Theologians believe that Satan and the demons were holding captive the righteous Saints spirits, although their bodies and souls were dead. But Jesus had the keys to Hell, in order to unlock the Saints, and free them from the pits of Hell (Rev.1:18).Jesus’ sacrifice made it possible. If you had this theology taught to you, or heard about it, based on the Word of God, this doctrine is also bogus and unscriptural. God the Holy Spirit does not support this teaching.

First of all, if you refer back to (PART B) of GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND regarding the state of Jesus, the Saints, and every living person who has died, you will come to understand that they are still dead. One group is not in Heaven, and the other in Hell. At this very second, all who have lived, and died are still dead. Jesus Christ is the only one whom God raised back to life, who is still alive, and went back to Heaven. Even the dead Saints who were resurrected with Jesus (Matt.27: 52,53), died again, and they are still dead. Who will believe this report? (Isa.53:1).

Regarding (I Pet.3:19), Jesus didn’t preach to those demon spirits who were in “Hell” called gehenna, or the Lake of Fire [STRONG’S CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#1097)]. Nor was He preaching to demons in a Hell called Hades which is the grave, the place (state) of departed souls [STRONG’S CONCORDANCE (#86)]. On the contrary, Jesus went to the Hell called in the Greek, tartaroo (I Pet. 2:4). It means to (incarcerate) in eternal torment [STRONG’S CONCORDANCE (#5020)]. Or, to hold captive in tartarus [THAYER’S GREEK and ENGLISH LEXICON].

These evil spirits are so bad, unlike the other demons, they have to be kept in prison (a guarding) [STRONG’SCONCORDANCE (#5438)]. They remained incarcerated and guarded. Nevertheless, one author, and theologian wrote, regarding (I Pet.3:19) says it was “the act of Christ after His resurrection in proclaiming His victory to the fallen angelic spirits” [Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary Of Old and New Testament Words, pg. 481].

This is a very good book by Vine’s. However, this statement is incorrect. Why do I say this? Here is the reason: In the next verse (I Pet.3:20), explains that this preaching of Jesus took place before He became a human being. It was during the period when Noah was preparing the Ark. This was thousands of years earlier when God waited for him to finish it.

Therefore, during “this” period of time, Jesus preached to those particular demon spirits. They were so rebellious towards God that they had to be kept in prison, and under guard, while other demons were allowed to roam free.

Now I know that there will be theologians will who say (trying to justify their theology) that is Elder Dr. Gerald M. Shephard’s interpretation of these Scriptures. He is saying all theologians who are well known and have written many books on these things, are incorrect and he is right. This is a very self-righteous attitude. He is completely wrong in his interpretation of Scriptures.

My answer to such a charge is this: What I have been teaching is not from my intellect, or interpretation of Scriptures. On the contrary, it’s from God the Holy Spirit. He moved the Apostle Peter to write these things (I Pet.1:21). Peter and the Prophets were not around to see, or even know such things. It was revealed to them by God the Holy Spirit, regarding what had taken place at that period of time.

You see everyone, as the Prophets and Apostles called upon God, He showed them great and mighty things they did not know (Jer.33:3). It was great things God the Holy Spirit had written in His laws, and the Saints did not count them strange things, as the Israelites(Hosea 8:12). It’s because these holy men and women respond to His reproof. When they did this, He poured out His Spirit upon them (Prov.1:23) in order to instruct them (Neh.9:20). This made it possible for these holy men, and women to teach His truth (Isa.50: 4,5).

Listen to me everyone around this world: Someone has to (pardon my vernacular) have the spiritual guts, and be audacious enough to tell you what God has really said. GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND is so beautiful, and wonderful until the doubters will say (when the puzzle is put together, and they see it) “why that is impossible! It cannot be done!” Nevertheless, God says to those doubters, “Is anything to hard for the Lord?” (Gen.18:14). I will do all my pleasure (Isa.46:10).

Before I end this long preamble, I have found many of you around this nation and world have commented favorably, regarding what I have written and you have read. A few of you have requested to want more of my writings. Thank you very much because I really appreciate hearing that from you. I only ask that if you really feel that way, then help me by telling your family members, friends, even your Facebook contacts. Don’t keep it what you have learned to yourselves. The whole world needs to know these truths. As I said before, “something wonderful is about to take place on this planet, and it’s going to be marvelous!” God doesn’t want anyone to be uninformed, regarding what has happen; what is going on now; and, what is going to take place in the near future.

God knows that you are suffering, and want someone to come, and lead, who can be really trusted. Because you and this whole world are tired of its governments, their lying leaders and the wars they cause that leads to miseries and deaths upon the human race.

Consequently, this is the purpose of this message. You will soon get your request. HELP IS COMING! It started with Jesus Christ, and followed by God the Holy Spirit. He came to help the servants of God to get this message regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND throughout the world. You are about to learn that Divine Plan.

Thank you for your patience, regarding all of the above. Now I can begin where I stopped in this message.

Introduction

The First Day of Salvation Continued

(PART C)

In (PART C) of GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND, I want to share several things with you, things that were given to me through God the Holy Spirit:

The promise of the Holy Spirit would come. The disciples would receive supernatural power.

The commission from Jesus Christ to His Apostles: Preach that Kingdom of God will bring THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT to mankind.

There will be great persecution from religious leaders, and the civil authorities. A slaughter will come upon the Apostles and Christian believers.

A time of trouble: Great deceptions, wars and worldwide catastrophes.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit Would Come

The promise of the Holy Spirit who is called God (Acts 5:3,4) would soon come upon the disciples. Because Jesus said to His disciples before His death, He would ask God the Father to send another Comforter (John 14:16) that He may abide, and dwell with them (John 14:16, 17). He would be the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17).

The Greek meaning of the word “another” is another of the same sort. The Greek word for another is allos [VINE’S Complete Expository Dictionary (#243)]. The Greek meaning of the word Comforter is an intercessor [STRONG’S CONCORDANCE (#3875)]. Or, one who pleads another case before a judge. The Greek meaning of the word abide is constantly present to help one. Both meanings are from [THAYER’S GREEK and ENGLISH LEXICON (#3306)].

Therefore, Jesus is saying that His Father would send the same sort of person as Himself. He would replace Jesus and be constantly present with them, in order to plead their case before God, when the disciples stumbled and sin. Because the accuser of the brethren will complain to God day and night regarding the disciples sins (Rev.12:10). But, their Intercessor, God the Holy Spirit, who knows their hearts (Rom 8:26, 27), is constantly present to help them.

You see, Jesus Christ knew that His disciples would need help because the forces of every foul spirit who inhabits this earth (Rev.18:2) would be against them. Without God’s the Holy Spirit’s help, they couldn’t do anything, regarding their commission from Jesus Christ (John 15:5). Satan and his demons would hinder them in every possible way.

Consequently, it was necessary for Jesus, according to GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND that He leave His disciples, or God the Holy Spirit couldn’t come to help them (John 16:7). This was a Divine Plan of the Triune God had laid out, before there was anything in existence. If you haven’t read (PART A, and PART B), you need to this, in order to comprehend the evolving flow of this whole message, regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND.

Therefore, after Jesus’ resurrection, ascension to Heaven, and return to earth, for forty days, He spoke to His disciples about things pertaining to the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). As I explained in (PART B), the Kingdom of God is about THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT that is coming to this earth. It has to do with the royalty, and a realm that is about government. It will have a foundation of power from Jesus that will be supreme over everything from Heaven and earth. That power coming from Jesus Christ will be the rewards given to the Saints, His disciples, and the Prophets (Rev.11:18). Because just before Jesus was crucified, the disciples heard Him pray to God His the Father, “the glory which thou gavest Me, I have given to them that they may be one , even as we are one” (John 17:22).

However, the disciples wouldn’t be able to remember everything Jesus said to them, even His prayer. It would be the responsibility of God the Holy Spirit to bring it back into their memory (John 14:26), as He takes what belong to Jesus and shows it to them (John 16:14). You will learn in greater detail what belong to Jesus, and kind of rewards He will give to His disciples. It’s going to be awesome! Satan and his Demons know what those rewards will consist of, and they do not want mankind to know about it. Because one thing for sure, it pictures the time when he and his demons will not be around and they know this it is going to happen to them.

Therefore, Jesus told His disciples to wait until they receive the promise, and power from Heaven (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4), in order that they could be baptized with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5). It will take place after the Holy Spirit who is God, comes upon them. When and after this happens, the disciples were to be witnesses that Jesus Christ who had come and gone back to Heaven was the Son of God. The disciples were to start witnessing in Jerusalem first, and then spread this truth around the world (Acts 1:8).

Yet, before Jesus was taken up in a cloud to go back to Heaven (Act 1:9), He told His disciples that all power was given to Him, in Heaven and in earth. He gave them the responsibility to baptize and teach the nations to repent and to keep the commandments He had taught them (Matt.28:18-20). Because the fashion of the world (the way things were normally done) was about to be changed (I Corin.7:31).

Consequently, Jesus had spoken these things, then, He went back to Heaven, and the disciples watched it happen as He disappeared in a cloud (Acts 1:9). However, as the disciples watched this scene, two angels said to them, as they had seen Jesus Christ leave from the Mount called Olivet, He would return the same way (Acts 1:10,11). Everyone this world, it is very important to remember this statement of these two Angels. It has to do with how Jesus Christ will return, and to take over ruling this planet. God the Holy Spirit will explain it all to you. Because there many false doctrines, regarding how, and when Jesus Christ will return.

After the Seven Sabbaths (Lev. 23:15) known as the Feast of Weeks (Deut.16:9,10), one day later was Pentecost. All of the disciples, one-hundred and twenty of them (including the mother of Jesus Christ, Mary) (Acts 1:14,15) were of one accord/mind, when the Day of Pentecost was fully come (Acts 2:1).

Suddenly, around (A.D. 30), a sound came in the house from Heaven where they assembled like a mighty wind, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (including Mary, the mother of Jesus) as tongues that look like fire sat upon each of them. Then, all of them (including Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ) began speaking in tongues, as God the Holy Spirit gave them the words (Acts 2:2-4). The promise was fulfilled that Jesus had spoken about: The disciples would receive supernatural power, in order to “speak with new tongues” (Mk. 16:17). The Greek meaning of the word tongue is new tongues which the speaker has not learned previously [THAYER’S GREEK and ENGLISH LEXICON (#1100)]. Or a language naturally acquired [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE of the BIBLE].

Many Jews from different countries were hearing the disciples speaking in their native languages, regarding the wonderful works of God (Acts 2:8-11). It was the first power given to the disciples from God. At first, some of the Jews thought the disciples were drunk (Acts 2:13). Then the Apostle Peter, in his first sermon corrected them by saying they were not drunk (Acts 2:15). He explained to them that what was prophesied to come, they had witnessed and heard: “God would pour out His Holy Spirit upon all flesh” (Acts 2:17). This is very important for the world to know. Because if God doesn’t do this, then He has lied! What if the doubters today, do not believe Peter, although he was under the power of God the Holy Spirit, and filled with the Holy Spirit? The answer to that question is “let God be true and every man a lair” (Rom.3:4). Because it is impossible for God to lie (Heb.6:18). If God has said it, He will do it, and make it good (Num.23:19).

Consequently, Peter had explained in his first sermon about Jesus and that God had exalted Him Lord and Christ. Because many of these Jews were in the crowd, and demanded that Pilot crucify Jesus (Acts 2:36). However, after hearing the Apostle Peter’s sermon, they were pricked in their hearts and ask the Apostle Peter and the rest of the Apostles “what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37).

Peter told them to repent (to think differently, and change from their wrong lifestyle). Then, be baptized in the Name (the honor and authority) of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. As the Apostles, they too will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). Because the promise of receiving the Holy Spirit was for them, their children, and “as many as the Lord shall call” (Acts 2:39).

Among the thousands of Jews who were at the Feast of Pentecost and heard Peter’s sermon, three thousand were baptized and continued in the Apostle’s doctrine, fellowshipping with them (Acts 2:41, 42).

THE COMMISSION FROM JESUS CHRIST TO THE DISCIPLES

Before Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, He had already given the responsibility to His disciples to preach the Kingdom of God and to have power over demons spirits and heal the sick. This is the second power that was given to the Apostles because they did as Jesus commanded (Luke 9:1,2,6). The deacon Stephen, before he was stoned to death (Acts 7:59) performed great wonders and miracles (Acts 6:8). However, the deacon Philip not only healed people in the city of Samaria, but he also preached the Kingdom of God and Jesus (Acts 8:5,6,12). The Apostle Paul, realizing the suffering that came alone with preaching the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22), still proclaimed it in the Jewish synagogues, and spoke boldly about it (Acts 19:8). He called the Christian leadership together (Acts 20:17), and reminded them how he went about preaching the Kingdom of God among them (Acts 20:25). Even when the Apostle Paul was under house arrest and being brought to Rome, he call together the Jewish leadership and preached the Kingdom of God and about Jesus (Acts 28:16,17,23,30,31).

Therefore, the Apostles were commissioned to go out throughout the world, and to tell everyone that “a change they can believe in” was about to take place on this earth. They were to inform mankind that the power of a Great King was coming, and the earth will be His territory and empire. He shall establish THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT on earth, and it will be glorious. It’s because He will have a foundation of power from God. They were to tell mankind, according to GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND, Jesus Christ is the Great King (Mal.14), and He will be the Great God and Savior (Titus 2:13).

Therefore, after Jesus went back to Heaven, the Apostles continued to do what He had been doing: Preaching the Gospel (good news) of the Kingdom of God (Mk.1:14.15; Luke 8:1; 9:11). This was to be done, before the end of the world (it’s orderly arrangement of things) take place (Matt.24: 14). Because thousands of years earlier, before Jesus came to this earth as a man, it was He who moved the Prophet Isaiah to write “ Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth” (Isa.43:18,19).

In order to promote proclaiming the Kingdom of God, God the Holy Spirit had given the Apostles the power to heal people of diseases, and to cast demons out of them. This resulted in more believers joining the Apostles, up to five thousand (Acts 4: 4), this included whole cities (Acts 5: 14-16).

However, as many were accepting the Apostles doctrines, they became a problem for the religious leaders. What was the problem? It had to do with the one they recently had crucified, Jesus Christ.

First, the Apostles were threated not to speak, nor teach about the Name of Jesus (Acts 4: 17,18). This is the reason: Earlier, two Apostles, Peter, and John used the name of Jesus to heal a man who had been crippled from birth, to walk again. The people were amazed, and praised God (Acts 3:2-8). Then, Peter began to preach about Jesus’ crucifixion. He told the people Jesus was the “Prince of Life” whom God raised from the dead, although they had ignorantly denied His freedom. Peter explained that the crippled man was healed through the name of Jesus (Acts 3: 14-17).

Next, Peter told the people to repent, and be converted, that their “sins would be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19). Then, Peter told them something that is missing or misunderstood in today’s theology. Peter told them that Jesus must remain in Heaven until the times of restitution of all things (Acts 3:21).

The Greek meaning of the word repent in (verse 19) is to think differently, or reconsider [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#3340)]. The Greek meaning of the word converted in the same verse means to reform [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON (#1994)]. Reform means correction of error; to change to the better [American College Dict.]. The Greek meaning of the word refreshing is revival [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (403)]. The meaning of the word revival is “a time of reawakening interest in religion” [Am. Col. Dict].

Be patient because God the Holy Spirit is about to reveal something that is lost in today’s theology. As I said before, “a change you can believe in” is about to take place on this earth.

In (Acts 3:21), the Greek meaning of the word restitution is reconstitution [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#605)]. Reconstitution means to provide with a new structure.

Bringing it all together, the Apostle Peter said to the people who were there worshipping at the Temple, something they were not doing: It was time they needed to think differently, and change to the better from the old ways of worship. A real reawakening in religion was about to take place on this earth. He informed them that Jesus Christ whom they had crucified was raised back to life by God, and went back to Heaven. However, He was coming back soon, in order to provide a new structure of all things, on this planet.

All the holy Prophets spoke about this (Acts 3:21), and they being moved by the power from God the Holy Spirit (II Pet.1:21) stated “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth (Isa.43.18,19).

In other words, it was time for the people to change. Because the world’s governments with its corrupt political rulers, corrupt business people, corrupt religious leaders, promulgating their bogus doctrines that has become traditional throughout all places of worship, and the world’s armies that protects these mega entities will be removed. It’s a superstructure mankind already had in place, by the time of Jesus’ day. That same structure, which is even greater now, is still standing at this very moment.

Understand this from God, everyone on this earth: The only thing that has come out of this superstructure is hunger, due to poverty that causes demonstrations, leading to sedition towards the governments. There are constant robberies, murders, and people being raped by someone with an incurable disease. All of these things lead to retaliation, wars and death. This, and more, was the history of mankind then and even today.

God the Holy Spirit is using me to inform everyone on this planet that THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT is coming to this earth which shall establish THE NEW WORLD ORDER. If you and I do not reconsider our actions, WE WILL NOT FIT! It will be very difficult to live in such an environment that Jesus Christ will establish, when He ruling on this earth. He will not tolerate the wicked behavior that is taking place now. Soon, Jesus Christ is coming back, and He shall crush this rebellion of mankind. Someone needs to tell you the truth, without prevaricating.

Nevertheless, the Jewish religious leaders, being inundated envy towards the Apostle’s message would not accept it. They became more pugnacious, and began attacking the Apostles. Because they heard the Apostles teaching the people about Jesus and the resurrection and put them in jail, until they decide what to do with them the next day (Acts 4: 1-3).

PERSECUTIONS FROM THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND CIVIL AUTHORITIES

After the Apostles were freed the first with a warning not to preach about Jesus (Acts 4:18, 21), the second time, the religious leaders wanted to kill them (Acts 5:28,33). One of their own leaders stopped them from doing this to the Apostles (Acts 5:38,39). For a substitute, they resorted to beating the Apostles, and told them they were told not to teach about Jesus (Acts 5: 38-40). As A result, the persecutions started increasing against the Christian leadership because they would not stop preaching about Jesus Christ.

For example, the religious leaders killed the first Christian who was a deacon. His name was Stephen, who did many miracles (Acts 6: 8). Because of false witnesses against Stephen, he was brought before the council (Acts 6:13-15). After Stephen rebuked the council for always resisting the Holy Spirit (Acts 7: 51) he, looking up to Heaven said, he could see Jesus standing on the right hand of God (Acts 7:55) Hearing this, the religious leaders stoned him until he died (Acts 7:58-60).

Then, great persecution came against the Church, until believers had to scatter, except the Apostles (Acts 8:1). There was so much persecution against the church, until Christians were hunted down everywhere, bound, and throne into prison (Acts 8:3; 9:1, 2).

Next, the civil authorities caught the Apostle James (this was not the Lord’s brother). King Herod had James killed with the sword (Acts 12:1,2). This took place in (44 A.D.) [UNGER’S BIBLE DICTIONARY, pg. 552]. When the King saw that this killing pleased the Jews, he had the Apostle Peter captured, and put into prison until the Days of Unleavened were passed. He was going to kill Peter also, but an Angel came and freed him (Acts 12:2-4,7-10).

In addition to the above, God the Holy Spirit had called Saul, who was also called Paul (Acts 13:9), and along with him, Barnabas, the two were commissioned by Him, and ordered the Christian leadership to send them forth to do the work He had for them to do (Acts 13:39-50).

Because these two men begin preaching that justification could come only through Jesus Christ, the Jewish leadership became jealous, and expelled them from their area (Acts 13:39-50). Then the Jews followed Paul and Barnabas into another city. There, these Jews persuaded the Gentiles there to stone Paul to death.

Being stoned as Stephens until a person died was a terrible thing to watch However, the Apostle Paul survived the stoning (Acts 14:19,20), He had to encourage the disciples to push forward in the faith. Paul explained that it was a burden of tribulation that Christians had to go through (Acts 14:22), in order that they be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, and that they were willing to suffer for it (II Thes 1:5).

Many years later, the Apostle Barnabas wrote this: “He saith, they that desire to see Me, and attain unto My Kingdom must lay hold on Me through tribulation and affliction” [Barnabas Ch.7:11].

Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp, who was made Bishop of Smyrna, and earlier, a disciple of the Apostle John wrote “for this cause, tribulation is necessary for those who are saved….that they may be fitted for the royal banquet” [Ireanaeus, Against All Heresies, Bk.( 2) Ch. 8:4]. Furthermore, Irenaeus stated “For this is the last contest of the righteous….when they overcome, are crowned with incorruption” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies, Bk. (5) Ch.29 (1) 25].

The above truths, as Luke, (the constant companion of the Apostle Paul) had written to Theophilus, a Christian, stated that those truths were delivered to them from those who were eye witnesses, and ministers of Jesus’ word (Luke 1:1,2). The purpose was not only Theophilus, but all Christians, and the whole world could receive perfect understanding regarding what God has done, what He is doing, and what He will do. It all points to GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND through Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory.

Understand me every person who will read this report, and pay close attention to what God the Holy Spirit has taught me: A great slaughter is going to come upon many Christians, before Jesus Christ returns to take over this planet. There will not be a “rapture” as it is taught. That is a doctrine which has crept into the Church from demons. The “rapture” was never taught by Jesus, the Apostles, nor their disciples who made Bishops. It (the rapture doctrine) started with a woman named Margaret Mac Donald from Port Glassgow, Scotland, in 1830. Jesus, the Apostles, Barnabas, and Irenaeus knew about the coming slaughter upon the Saints because they knew the Scriptures.

Notice what the Angel had taught the Prophet Daniel had thousands of years earlier, through visions, regarding the coming slaughter upon the Saints. Remember, Daniel could not have known these truths, unless they were revealed to him. “I beheld, and the same horn (the horn represents someone’s power) made war with the Saints, and prevailed against them” (Dan.7:21). He (this leader with power) shall wear out the Saints of the Most High; they shall be given into his hands (Dan.7:25). From God the Holy Spirit, He has shown you, that this happened to the early Christian Church, and it will happen just before Jesus Christ return.

For example, Jesus’ disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of His coming, and the end of the world/age” (Matt.24:3). That is a good question, and it deserves an answer for everyone on this planet.

Theologians say the word coming in (Matt.24:3) means “rapture”. They also use (I Thes.4:17) which says “we which are alive….shall be caught / raptured up together with them (the resurrected dead) in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with Him.” Consequently, the word “caught” is taught to mean “raptured” by theologians.

In the dictionary, the word rapture means “transporting of a person from one place to another. That is similar to the Greek meaning. However, the dictionary adds “esp. to Heaven.” Saints being transported to Heaven when Jesus Christ returns, this is the popular theology from theologians to their parishioners. Let us examine the real meaning of the word “caught” in the Greek.

In the Greek the word “caught” means “of divine power transporting a person marvelously and swiftly from one place to another, to snatcher catch away” [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON of the NEW TESTAMENT (#726)]. In the Interlinear Greek states “then we (the ones living) remaining together with them (the resurrected dead) shall be seized in clouds to a meeting of the Lord in air and so always with the Lord we shall be” [(THE INTERLINEAR KJV-NIV) IN GREEK AND ENGLISH, pg.603; By Alfred Marshall].

Therefore, in (Matt. 24:3) the Greek word for “coming” is” parousia”. In English it means in “a being near, i.e. advent [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#3952)]. Or, “the future, visible, return from Heaven of Jesus, the Messiah, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the Kingdom of God” [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON of the NEW TESTAMENT (#3952)].

Consequently, this is the meaning of (Matt.24:3;) and (I Thes.4:17). Anything contrary to what you have just learned would not be according to GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND. With the help of God the Holy Spirit I could present more facts regarding this subject, however, I must continue the message.

I said, according to many proofs, a great slaughter is coming against the Saints, in these last days of mankind’s folly. This will happen before the great tribulation (Matt.24:21). Because Luke writes, before the great wars, and destruction on earth “before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, and ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name sake (Luke 21:12,16,17). According to the above, Luke writes nothing regarding the Apostles, and their followers, escaping this persecution, and slaughter through being raptured, in the last days of this world/age. You will learn all the Apostles, and many Saints went through it.

Silas, who was a prophet (Acts 15:32), the Apostle Paul took with him, after he and Barnabas had separated through a disagreement (Acts 15:37-40). However, soon Paul and Silas were apprehended, stripped of their clothes, beaten and thrown into prison.

This happened because the business men said these two men were teaching things that were not acceptable, and it was causing trouble to their businesses (Acts 16:18-23). Notice another proof regarding this persecution and slaughter.

By order of Nero, who was head of the Roman Empire, had the Apostle Paul beheaded. The Apostle Peter was crucified, and nailed upside down, on a cross [The Acts of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul]. Thomas preached to the Parthians, Medes, the Persians and Calamina a city of India. There, he was “slain with a dart.” Simon, the brother of Jude, the Lord’s brother was crucified in Egypt. Mark, the evangelist, and first Bishop of Alexandria, was drawn with ropes unto fire, was burnt. Bartholomew preached in India was beaten down with staves, after his skin was torn off, and he was beheaded. Andrew was crucified. Matthew, by order of the King of Egypt, had him killed with a spear [FOXES BOOK OF MARTYR’S, by John Fox].

There was more that happen to the Christians who believed in the gospel of Jesus Christ, regarding THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT that’s coming to this earth, but I have to stop. Because Christians were tortured, not accepting deliverance; And others had trial of cruel mocking and scourging’s, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment; they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented (of whom the world was not worthy) (Heb.11:36-38).

The above proves that when ministers say, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn” consequently, they are misunderstanding it. The Apostles, and their followers read this Scripture, however, they were slaughtered by various weapons: The cross, swords, stones, spears, saws, whips and rods. This Scripture will take place when the Saints are changed to have the mind of a god (I Corin.2:16); the spirit of a god (Rom 8:9); and the body of a god (Phil.3:21). Jesus is that God I John 3:2). Like Jesus Christ, the Saints will shine like the Sun in its strength (Rev.1:16). They will no longer be palpable, but impalpable, at that time.

Understand me everyone. Jesus Christ warned His followers that the religious leaders would put them out of the synagogues, and even kill them, thinking they were doing God a service (John 16:2-4). It’s because of preaching what He had taught them. Therefore, Jesus, when praying to the Father, said “the world hated them because they were no longer of this world (its orderly arrangement) (John 17:14).

In addition to this, the Apostle John taught that Christians should “love not the world, nor the things in this world (I John 2: 15). The Greek meaning of the word world is the whole circle of earthly goods, riches pleasures that lead away from God are obstacles to the cause of Christ [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON (#2889)].

What was the thing that motivated and helped the Saints to remain tenacious and resolved in their beliefs? There were two reasons.

First, it was because they believed in the teaching of Jesus Christ, and would not accept deliverance from their suffering “that they might obtain a better resurrection” (Heb.11:35).

Second, before Jesus Christ death, burial and resurrection from the dead, the disciple Peter said to Jesus, “we have forsaken all to fellow you, what shall we have? (Matt.19:27). That is a good question, and it deserves an answer.

What you are about to learn is something most theologians have not understood, missed, or simply refusing to acknowledge and validate it as true, due to popular theology. This also is very important, regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND.

Earlier, in Matthew, chapter seventeen, Jesus took with himself, Peter, James and John to a high mountain. There, Jesus became transfigured before them. His face did shine as the Sun, and His clothes were white as light (Matt.17:1,2). All of a sudden, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus (Matt.17:3). After this had taken place, Jesus told these three men “tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead” (Matt.17:9).

This is very important to understand: The Greek meaning of the word vision in English is a supernatural sight [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#3705)]. Or, a sight divinely granted [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON of the NEW TESTAMENT]. To make this word vision clearer, notice how Webster define it: “A picture formed into the mind, visions of future greatness” [THE NEW LEXICON WEBSTER’S ENCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARY, Deluxe Edition, pg. 1100].

Therefore, later, in answer to Peter’s question, “what shall we have?” (they were already allowed to see a sight divinely granted and having a picture formed into their minds, visions of future greatness”) this is what Jesus told them: Ye which have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matt.19:28). Everyone on this planet, understand Jesus Christ: He is talking about the Apostles being future rulers on this earth. Believe God!

The Greek meaning of the word regeneration in English is spiritual renovation [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE of the BIBLE (#3824)]. Renovation means restore to an earlier condition [Am. Col. Dict]. The Greek Lexicon states “The restoration of the original and perfect state before the fall” [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON of the NEW TESTAMENT (3824)].

The Greek meaning of the word throne is partner and assistance in the divine administration [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH of the NEW TESTAMENT (#2362)]. The Greek meaning of the word judging in English is to rule, govern, to preside over with power of giving judicial decisions [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH of the NEW TESTAMENT (#2919)].

Consequently, this is the answer to Peter’s question: You three men have divinely granted to see a supernatural sight, in order to form into your minds a picture of future greatness. However, you twelve will assist me in divine administration, ruling, and governing with power, making judicial decisions over the Twelve Tribes of Israel. This will happen, when I return to restore the earth to the earlier condition that God My Father originally intended for mankind. Jesus was willing to share His great glory with them. Notice the proof.

Before Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection from the dead, He prayed to God His Father “the glory which thou gavest Me, I have given to them; that they may be one as we are one (John 17:22). The meaning of the word glory in the Greek is dignity, glory, honor, praise and worship [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE of the BIBLE (#1391)]. Note: I have to explain the meaning of these words, although, majority of you know them. However, as I said before, many do not have this understanding, regarding the English language. This message is going out to people from around this world, and from all walks of life: It’s reaching Judges, policemen, robbers, drug abusers, and they who illegally selling it. It is reaching the homeless, and rich, the middle class and the disfranchised and people with limited education. God the Father, God the Son, who is Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit doesn’t want anyone to be uninformed regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND, in these last days of Satan the Devil, who deceives the whole world (Rev.12:9). So please, be kind, and patient, for the sake of others.

The meaning of the word dignity is the quality or state of deserving esteem or respect . It’s a high office or rank. The word glory means majestic beauty and splendor. Praise is an expression of approval. Worship is the reverent love and devotion accorded a deity [Am. Col. Dict].

Therefore, Jesus would confer upon His followers the state of deserving respect, through a high office, with majestic beauty and splendor. It would be His expression of approval, reverent love, and devotion given by Him, being their Deity. This is truly awesome from Jesus Christ!

However, the Apostle John would not be able this prayer that Jesus prayed to His Father. It would be God the Holy Spirit who would bring it back to him, years later. Because when Jesus prayed this prayed, it was around (30 A.D.) [Halley’s Bible Handbook], weeks before the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples. Therefore, the Book of John was written around (85 and 95 A.D.) [Unger’s Bible Dictionary]. This was fifty-five years later.

Consequently, what Jesus shared with the Apostles, regarding their being great in the future, later, they handed it down to their disciples. Remember, it’s about what motivated the Saints to remain faithful, and steadfast to Jesus’ teachings.

One of the Apostle John’s disciples was a man named Polycarp. He was soon made a Bishop, and wrote a letter to the Philippian Church, regarding what had been handed down to him. It was something he truly believed, taught, and died for. This is what he wrote: “We shall also reign with him, provided if we believe” [Polycarp to the Philippians, Ch. 5:32-34].

Polycarp’s disciple, Irenaeus who became Bishop of Lyons wrote regarding his teacher stated, “ Polycarp was instructed by the Apostles, and conversed with many who had seen Christ….appointed Bishop of the church in Smyrna….always taught the things he had learned from the Apostles which the church handed down, and which alone are true” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies, Bk. 5, Ch. 3:4].

What was handed down to Irenaeus? Things pertaining to THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT, and the new rulers who will be ruling this earth! Because what he had learned from Polycarp, Irenaeus wrote it down. He knew that like the Apostles, they will also be ruling this earth. This is what he wrote: “The righteous shall reign in the earth: those left upon the earth, should both be under the rule of the saints” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies, Bk. 5, Ch. 35].

That’s a strange thing to say, “those left upon the earth shall be under the rule of the saints.” I will explain it later in (PART D), regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND.

Consequently, Irenaeus bear witness to the above truths. It caused him to remain tenacious, resolved, and motivated in this belief because he wrote “the righteous shall bear rule upon their rising from the dead” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies, Bk.5, Ch.33:292].

Did you get what Irenaeus had said, their (the Saints) “rising from the dead.” Irenaeus knew that the Saints were still dead, body soul and spirit. He understood that they were not in Heaven with Jesus Christ. Why can’t theologians believe this truth also!

Barnabas, the Apostle, (Acts 14:14) and fellow laborer with the Apostle Paul wrote, “We shall live and be lords of the earth….give orders and have dominion [Barnabas Ch. 6:17,18].

For this reason, Irenaeus, who had received these truths that were handed down to him also wrote, “True knowledge (that consist in) the doctrine of the Apostles; and the ancient constitution of the church….has come down to us, being guarded and preserved” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies, Bk.4, Ch.33:8].

“Being guarded and preserved” pre-proposes that something can be taken away from the Saints, regarding the knowledge coming from God the Holy Spirit. Because He moved the Apostles, and Prophets to teach, record and preach His Divines truths.

Consequently, God the Holy Spirit has given my mind understanding to what was guarded and preserved for many, many centuries. However, it became lost through antiquity. It has to do with a gift, and rewards from God. This is what the Christians lost:

The Saint will receive the gift of eternal life from God (Rom6:23).

The Saints will be like the Angels (Matt.22:30) having put on immortally (I Corin. 15:54).

The Saints will have to the fullest, the mind of Christ (I Corin.2:16).

The Saints will have to the fullest the Spirit of Christ (Rom.8:29).

The Saints will have a body like Christ (Phil.3:21).

The Saints will be like gods (John 10:34), but not God (Isa. 43:10).

The Saints shall shine as the Sun in its full strength (Rev. 1:16).

The Saints shall be Kings and Priest, ruling on earth Rev.5:10) for a thousand years

(Rev.20:4,6).

The Saints will have power over the nations (Rev.2:26).

The Saints will have Holy Angels as servants (Heb.1:13,14).

The Saints will judge demons (I Corin. 6:3).

The Saints will rule all things (Rom.8:32) and eventually the entire Universe (Heb. 2:7,8).

Under God direction, the Saints will rule forever (Rev.22:5).

Consequently, these above truths you are reading were the motivations that caused the Apostles and their disciples not to be unabated in their resolve. They remained tenacious in their attitudes, while holding fast to these precious doctrines from God the Holy Spirit.

You see everyone the Saints knew and believe that a changed was going to take place on this planet. However, in order for the Saints to receive the above rewards, it would come at a high price.

In the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul said to the Saints, “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God….(Rom.12:1). The Greek meaning of the word present is exhibit, proffer (offer) substantiate [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE of the BIBLE (#3936)]. Substantiate means to support with proof or evidence. In other words, if the Saints truly wanted the above rewards from Christ, they had to support with proof that it was their hearts desire.

Understand me everyone Jesus Christ said those willing to follow Him must be willing to hate/ love less their parents, mates and siblings and even their own lives. If not, they could not be His disciples (Luke 14:26). If the Saints would not bear their own cross, (i.e. exposure to death, and self-denial) they could not be His disciples (Luke 14:27). The Saints had to be willing to forsake all that they had, or they could not be His disciples (Luke 14:33). Because if Jesus’ disciples believe on Jesus, (that is believe, and continue in what He said) then they would truly be His disciples (John 8:31).

Everyone on this earth, what you are learning from God the Holy Spirit, the majority of the theologians do not know, or want you to know these deep secrets from God. I am not allowed to teach the things you are learning the Churches because it goes against what is being taught. I prayed to God and ask Him, how can I get this message to the people? God the Holy Spirit has opened the door for me through the blog, and YOU TUBE; it’s going out around this nation and earth. You have been reading it. God wants you to know the truth that will free you from the cocoon of ignorance, regarding GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND. Plus, I am personally taking pamphlets of God’s truths door to door to the people’s homes, letting them know HELP IS COMING! God wants everyone to come to the knowledge of His truth, and be saved (I Tim.2:4) because He has not pleasure in the death of the wicked. God only wants them to change (Ezek.33:11).

Later, you are going to learn more of God’s truths that has been a mystery, hidden from other ages since the world began, but has been revealed to me by the power of God the Holy Spirit (Eph.3:3,5,9,10). I am not lying to you, everyone. Thus far, I know that you are learning many things, and have never known them. Believe God!

Now I know, most theologians, if they have been reading this report, will reason, God hasn’t revealed to me the majority of the things this Elder Dr. Gerald M. Shephard has been teaching. This is the answer to that statement, and the reason.

First, it has been given to those who have been divinely selected (I Thes.1:4) to be entrusted with the gospel, who will not be trying to please men but God (I Thes.2:4).

Therefore, it is given to these special individuals to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest, (even to the majority of theologians) it was not given to them understand (Matt. 13:11).

Consequently everyone, like King David who was moved by the power of God the Holy Spirit, and spoke about the coming Kingdom of God (II Pet.1:21) these special individuals under that same power will also speak about Jesus Christ coming Kingdom, His power, and mighty acts. They will inform the world that Jesus Christ shall establish THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT that will endure throughout all generations (Ps.145:10-13).

However, some ministers will say, that’s not fair. I have pastored for many years, and have a large congregation. I have written many Christians books, and my church brings in huge amounts of tithes and offerings every week to God’s work. I think that would an unjust God who will not share the above information with faithful ministers of Christ. For this reason, I can’t believe what this Elder Dr. Gerald M. Shephard is saying. It’s just not true. This man Dr. Shephard is completely wrong in his theology, and no Christian should believe him.

God’s answer to the complainers is this: I made the earth, the man and beast, by my great power, and have given it unto whom it seemed proper unto me (Jer.27:5). Shall the thing formed say unto Him that formed it, why has thou made me thus? (Rom.9:20). Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? (Matt.20:15).

This is the second reason why God the Holy Spirit has not revealed the deep secrets to the majority of the theologians: God knows their hearts that they will not teach these wonderful, deep truths, even if He did reveal it to them.

Third, God the Holy Spirit knows that these theologians prefer to follow the Elder’s traditions (Matt.15:2) teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Matt.15:9). Because God the Holy Spirit says, “I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them” (Ezek.11:5). However, God the Holy Spirit warms them by saying “ Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works in the dark, and say, who seeth us? and who knoweth us” (Isa. 29:15). “He that teacheth man knowledge, shall He not know?” (Ps. 94:10).

On the other hand, God knows that I will speak boldly, without fear of reprisals from religious leaders, regarding what I am sharing with the world. Because God the Holy Spirit has written great things out of His law about GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND, and unlike Israel, I do not think they are strange. I believe God!

Everyone, a terrible period of deception, suffering, and death is about to take place, before Jesus Christ returns to take over this planet. Therefore, this is the last thing I want to share with you in (PART C) during The First Day of Salvation in GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND.

A TIME OF TROUBLE: GREAT DECEPTIONS, WARS and WORLDWIDE CATASTROPHES

DECEPTIONS

One day, Jesus’ disciples spoke to Him about how beautiful the buildings around the Temple (Matt.24:1), and the Temple were Luke 21:5). Jesus said, not one stone of them will remain standing (Matt.24:2). Then the disciples ask Him privately, “when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of your coming, and the end of the world?” (Matt.24:3).

The Greek word for coming is parousia. In English, it means a being near, i.e. advent [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#3952)] Or the visible return, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up the Kingdom of God [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXCION of the NEW TESTAMENT]. The Greek meaning of the world is age; the end of an age, not the destruction of the world, as it is taught in popular theology. Because God the Holy Spirit moved the Psalmist to write, “the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved” (Ps.96:10). The Hebrew meaning of the word established is fix, rendered sure, and be stable [STRONS’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#3559)]. The word moved in the Hebrew means fall, be fallen in decay, be (re) moved [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE OF THE BIBLE (#4131)].The English Dictionary says the word fall means to break down or callapse. Please forgive me. I have to take time to explain these things. There are many false doctrines that are being taught to people, and I simply want to teach you the truth, regarding what is really being said in Scripture. I do not want you to have any gaps in understanding the word of God, leaving you with many question unanswered. There are deceptions in the world, and unlearned people believe them.

According to the above Scripture, and other translations, this world will not be destroyed because “God Himself formed the earth and made it,….He formed it to be inhabited” (Isa.45:18). Notice what shall be destroyed: “The world will not be annihilated, but the fashion of the world passeth away….things which transgression has occurred” [Irenaeus Against All Heresies, Bk.5, Ch.36:1]. Now you know the truth: The world will not be destroyed. Only the transgressors who are transgressing against the Laws of God shall be removed.

As I continue, notice what Jesus said to His disciples: “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matt.24:4,5).

This is very important what God the Holy Spirit is going to teach you. Please, pay close attention.

The Greek meaning of the word deceive in (verse 4) is to lead away from the truth [STRONG’D EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE (#4105)]. The Greek meaning of the word Name in (verse 5) is authority and character [STRONG’S (#3686]) The Greek meaning of the word Christ also in (verse 5) is expressing qualities and characteristics of a person [STRONG’S (#5547)]. This is very dangerous!

Notice the result of the above: “Then shall many be offended and betray one another.” Offended in the Greek means to entrap, trip up, or entice to sin. It’s Apostasy. [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE (#4624)]. Or, cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON]. However, there is more.

In (Matt.24:11) Jesus said, “many false prophets shall arise, and deceive many”. The word false in the Greek means mendacious, i.e. promulgating erroneous Christian doctrine [(STRONG’S (#5573)]. Notice this: The word mendacious means lying and untrueful. Promulgating means to put (a law) into effect by formal public announcements [American College Dictionary (ACD)].

Consequently, Jesus is saying in (Matt/24: 4,5,10,11) and warning people (now the following will be difficult to believe) that individuals will become entrap by ministers who are expressing His qualities, and characteristics. They will say based upon their authority from Jesus Christ, and supposedly being His representatives, they would put into law, through a formal public announcement, doctrines that are erroneous and untrue. Simply put, Jesus is saying, these ministers would be lying.

Understand me everyone: I, Elder Dr. GERALD M. Shephard didn’t say these things, Jesus Christ did. So please, don’t get angry with me because I am only teaching you what the Lord God Almighty has said. In (Matt.7:15), Jesus called these individuals wolves in sheep clothing. The Apostle says there will be “ grievous wolves enter in among you, not spearing the flock” (Acts 20:29). The word wolves in the Greek is cruel, greedy, destructive men [THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON (#3074) (TGEL)].

Notice how the ancient Bishop Ignatius describes such people: “Some are in the habit of caring about the name of Jesus Christ in wicked guile, while they practice things unworthy of God….flee as you would wild beast….you must be on your guard” [Ignatius to the Ephesians, Ch. 7]. Bishop Irenaeus says it this way, regarding these “Ministers of Christ”: “Such men are to outward appearance sheep; for they appear to be like us, by what they say in public, repeating the same words, but inwardly they wolves. Their doctrine is homicidal, dividing the Son of God in many ways” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies; Bk.3, Ch.16:8].

What I am about to share with you, God the Holy Spirit expect me to, without diminishing a word He has given to me (Jer.26:2). Because as Israel, God has said this nation that I live in is rebellious towards Him (Ezek.2:3). Everyone is a hypocrite (Isa.9:17) making it a hypocritical nation (Isa. 10:6). Don’t misunderstand God the Holy Spirit because He says such things about Israel and this nation that we live in. God the Holy Spirit says “all the world is guilty before God” (Rom.3:19). So please, do not become offended because it is not intentions. However, if you are offended, be offended and reconsider your attitudes, and change for the better; be aware, and careful of how you are living (II Corin.7:8-11). Do what is right before the God, and you will be blessed (Isa.1:16-20). Remember, God is the one who gives us the very breath of air we breathe.

This is what I want to share with you, from the servants of God. Remember, you have been learning about deceptions coming from deceivers.

It is commonly taught that if a person doesn’t pay tithes, that is, ten percent of their earned income, that individual is under a curse. He or she is stealing from God. The Scriptures theologians use are out of the Old Covenant.

For example, to substantiate this belief is Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve. Abel brought the firstlings of his flock to the Lord (Gen.4:4), and Abraham giving a tenth to Melchizedek in (Gen.14:18). Then, theologians use Jacob vowing to give God the tenth of all that God would to him (Gen.28:20-22). The Scripture that is constantly used is (Mal.3:8-10).

There are other Scriptures in the New Testament such as (Matt.23:23) and Heb.7:1,2,4;). However, (Mal.3:8-10) is their greatest validation, regarding this curse.

When you look at the Old Covenant laws, notice what the Apostle wrote about it: “Having abolished in His (Jesus Christ) flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances….(Eph.2:15) that He (Jesus Christ) might reconcile both (Jews and Gentiles) unto God…” (Eph.2:16).

The Greek meaning of the word abolish in English is to be (rendered) entirely idle, useless, put away, inoperative [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE (#2673)]. The Greek meaning of the word law refers to the laws of Moses [STRONG’S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE (#3551)]. The Greek meaning of the word ordinances in English refers to a civil law [STRONG’S (#1378)]. The Greek meaning of the word reconcile is reestablish a close relationship [STRONG’S (#604)]. Be patient because God the Holy Spirit will bring this all together.

The Scripture (Mal.3:8-10) regarding tithing was part of the Old Covenant law of Moses. Every theologian knows this to be a fact.

For example, the tithes of seeds and fruits from the trees, even the animals, all belongs to the Lord, who gave it to the Levites for their services in the tabernacle (Lev.27:30,32). However, this is the point: The Apostle Paul said that the laws of Moses which were a civil law for the Israelites, (through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ flesh) were to be rendered entirely idle, useless, and put away. They had become inoperative.

Furthermore, Paul said, God had forgiven Christians “all of their trespasses” (Col.2:13). This is how God accomplished this, for those who were divinely selected: “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us….and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross” (Col.2:14).

The word blotting in the Greek means to smear out, i.e. obliterate [STRONG’S (#1813)]. For the word handwriting in the Greek is a legal document [STRONG’S (#5498)]. The word ordinances in the Greek means the civil law, or eccl: related to church, esp. an organized institution [STRONG’S (#1378)]. Finally, in the Greek, the word took means destroy.

Therefore, the Apostle Paul was saying God the Father, through allowing Jesus Christ to be nailed to the cross and die, had smeared out, even obliterated by completely destroying that legal document written in the Old Covenant Book of the Law of Moses (Deut.31:26). Because those laws that were against the Gentiles were given to the Israelites who were that Church in the wilderness (Acts 7:38).

Remember, the laws of tithing were written in the Old Covenant Book of the Laws of Moses. However, tithing, being part of those ecclesiastical civil laws found in the Book of the Law was rendered entirely idle and useless. The Apostle Paul knew this truth, and you are learning it also. But there is more that God the Holy Spirit is going to teach you, regarding tithing. Because people are being deceived, regarding this subject, and do not know it. The reason you do not know what you are now learning is because this has never really been explained to you the way it is now.

The Bishop Ignatius whom I told you about earlier wrote to Christians Churches he was overseeing. It was about the Laws of Moses stating “If we still live according to the Jewish law we acknowledge we have not received grace” [Ignatius to the Magnesians, Ch.8: 45]. He furthermore explained that “It’s absurd to profess Jesus Christ and to Judaize. For Christianity did not embrace Judaism, but Judaism Christianity” [Ignatius to the Magnesians, Ch. 9:45].

Finally, Ignatius wrote (and this is very important to remember) “ If anyone preach the Jewish law unto you, listen not to him” [Ignatius to the Philadelphians, Ch. 6:63].

Irenaeus, the Christian Bishop of Lyons, was a disciple of the Polycarp who had been a disciple of the Apostle John wrote “The law originated with Moses, it terminated with John as a necessary consequence….must have an end of legislation when the new covenant was revealed….the administration of the Jews was temporary” [Irenaeus, Against All Heresies; Bk. 4, Ch.4 (2)]. Of this same book, Irenaeus wrote “The laws of bondage….were given….for a sign to them, He cancelled by the new covenant of liberty” [Ch. 16: (5)].

Understand me everyone, as you can see, Ignatius, and Irenaeus knew that through the New Covenant, the Old Covenant had been removed. What they had learned was delivered to them from the Apostles, like Luke had said in (Luke 1:1,2).

Notice how the Apostle Paul felt about the Laws of Moses that he had kept at one time. Remember, this would include the laws of tithing.

Paul, who was once a Pharisee (Phil.3:5) paid tithes like the rest of the Pharisees were doing (Luke 18:11,12). Regarding the Law of Moses that were righteous (Deut.6:24), obeying them, he was blameless (Phil.3:6). However, what he had gain, Paul counted loss (Phil.3:7). In fact, Paul not only considered all things a loss, but dung as well that he may win Christ (Phil.3:8). This was written in [A.D.61] when Paul was in prison at the close of this year.

The Greek meaning for the word loss in (verse 8) is detriment [STRONG’S (#2209)]. The word detriment means to impair (to make worse). However, the Greek meaning for the word dung in this same verse is what is thrown to the dogs [STRONG’S (#4657)].

Therefore, to bring it all together, this is what the Apostle Paul was saying: Even though he had lived a strait (or strict) life of a Pharisee (Acts 26:5) and profited (or advanced) in the Jewish religion more so than his equals in his nation (Gal.1:14), Paul considered it all (even being strict in paying his tithes) as something you would throw to the dogs, in order that he may win Christ.

Everyone around this earth, watch out for people who say that God’s law, under the New Covenant, still requires Christians to pay tithes.

Remember, you are learning about deceivers in these last days. Because the Apostle Paul wrote earlier in [A.D.55] “ We are not as many which corrupt the word of God….” (II Corin. 2:17).

The Greek meaning of the word corrupt is to “trade the word of God to get base gain by teaching divine truth [TGEL (#2585)]. Another translation says it this way: Peddle the word for profit [NIV]. The Vine’s translation states “ make merchandise of souls through covetousness” [VINE’S].

In referring to false teacher’s the Apostle Peter said “ And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:” II Pet.2:3). The Greek meaning of the word feigned is artificial or fictitious [STRONG’S (#4112)]. Or, fabricate [GREEK INTERLINER]. Fabricate means to mix ingredients in order to deceive [ACD]. Notice this translation that explains it all: Tell you anything to get your money [LIVING BIBLE].

Regarding all of the above, Ignatius said “ these make merchandise of Christ….giving up Jesus to sale: they are corrupters of women, and covetous of men possessions, swallowing up wealth insatiably” [Ignatius to the Magnesians, Ch.9:62].

Out of the seven billion people on this earth, I don’t know how many people will get this message. However, this is my prayer: I pray that God the Holy Spirit (if you come across this message) that He will give you understanding, and help you to follow Jesus Christ steps (I Pet.2:21), after God the Father calls you (John 6:44). Someone have to tell you the truth, and not suppress it. However, who will believe this report you are receiving? (Isa.53:1).

I know that there will ministers, if they are reading this message and get to the subject of tithing that you have learned, will stop reading and not continue. This might be overbearing for them. They will think and say everything this Elder Dr. Gerald Shephard has written is incorrect, and that he is a deceived person. He’s teaching demonic doctrines. No Pastor, Prophet, Evangelist or deacon would support, and certify any of his teachings. These religious leaders will brand me a heretic, and warn their parishioners to be alert regarding what I am putting on the Internet, and not to believe any of it. That will be their choice, and I will love them anyway.

However, if ministers do think this way and remain adamant, entrenched and in bondage to the Old Covenant law of tithing, they will be fulfilling Scripture that says, “he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit” (Gal.4:29). One is in slavery to the law of tithing (Gal.4:25) that will brings about a curse through the law of sin and death if a person violates it (Rom.8:2). However, Jesus Christ has redeemed (or secured a release for) that person from the curse of the law of sin and death (Gal.3:13; Rom.8:2).

Believe God the Holy Spirit! Believe Paul, His Prophet and Apostle, and you shall prosper (push forward, break out) (II Chron.20:20).

There is so much more God the Holy Spirit has revealed to me on this subject of tithing, however, I must continue with this message, regarding the coming wars, and the great catastrophes that is coming upon this earth.

GREAT WARS

As you know, man has in his heart to make wars against each other. He never realized, or even believe God that there would be evil spirit beings around whose goals were to “work in the children of disobedience” (Eph.2:2). Wars and killing one another is throughout mankind’s history. It started with Cain killing his brother Abel (Gen.4:8) to nations destroying other nations (Gen.14: 1,2, 8-10). There was the Great World War I. Millions dies in that war. It was supposed to be the war that would end all wars. However, a few years later, World War II took place. When it was over, millions had died also. During that period of war, the atomic bomb was developed, and two of them were dropped on two Japanese cities. Hundreds and thousands were killed in a matter of minutes.

Today, there are weapons far more powerful than the atomic bomb. They are so powerful, that the use of them can vaporize a nation in a matter of minutes. Consequently, unless there is an intervention from “a strong hand from somewhere” who can stop this hellish period in which we live, Armageddon that Revelation speaks about (Rev.16:16) will be upon us. In other words, no flesh will survive, as Jesus Christ has said (Matt.24:22). There will be no more men, women or children left on earth. This would include the land animals, birds in the air, and the fish in the waters. In fact, there will not even be any algae, or microscopic things existing on this planet. This world we live on, through the use of nuclear bomb warfare, will no longer be able to sustain life as we know. The world will become a burned out cinder. This is serious!

Consequently, at this very moment, we are hearing of wars, and rumors of wars that are taking place around this world (Matt. 24:6). Due to the modern invention of communication, we can see the bloody battles from our living rooms; people killing one another. However the Scripture says “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil” (Eccl.8:11). This is taking place either on the battle fields between nations, the streets killings of everyday life, or in the homes.

In addition to these things, there are robberies, rapes, incest and fornication between unmarried people living together. You have cooperated corruption, lying politicians, and false Christians ministers who politicking in decision making.

There are organized crime bosses dealing in all kinds of illegal trafficking that leads to many killings. Parents are killing children, and children killing their parents, and children killing children. Suicide bombers are killing hundreds people, and themselves until blood is touching blood (Hosea 4:2). The land is filled with bloody crimes, and the city is filled with violence (Ezek.7:23). People, crime is reaching population growth! It all comes under the category of WAR!

Understand me everyone around this earth. Jesus said that these things would happen in the last days. It is because of this lawlessness that is taking place on earth. The result is this: The love for people towards one another is ceasing (Matt.24:12). All of the above are within the rebellious human governments. Mankind is against the Kingdom of God, His Laws that governs His Kingdom, and His Government that is over this vast universe.

However, there are religious people of all types saying “they want to go home” (up to Heaven) and be with God” and leave this terrible earth. My question to these people is this: Why do you want to go to Heaven? Heaven is in good shape. Here’s where the problems are!

You who are reading this message need to know that God who gives us the very breath of air that we breathe that He is not trying to save this world, nor all of its orderly arrangements. On the contrary, God is going to send back to this planet Jesus, being the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! He is the Savior, who is coming to save us from ourselves. Because when Jesus is comes back to this earth, He is going to crush this rebellion against God His Father, and His Laws. Then, He will set up THE NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT, according to GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND. At that time, God will begin to save mankind, and this world.

This concludes (PART C) of GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND, The First Day of Salvation Continued. I pray that this message has been informative, and a blessing to this world. HELP IS COMING! You will learn this in (PART D).
