Hebrews 4/12: For the Word of God [is] quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing
even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart.
THE INSTITUTION THAT DID NOT CONSOLIDATED V
The Faith was in one of its most critic moments, various leaders were trying to consolidate it, those were moments of much uncertainty, of sudden changes; events in the Roman Empire warned that something was about to happen, the political environment was unstable, strong rumors of rebellion were heard, wars and power struggles in different angles, the religious power degenerated and corrupt, ambitious and decaying began to crumble, the new believers eagerly searched instruction and teaching in dangerous and dark times but regretfully the Institutions of the new Faith had not been yet formed at all and were not stable and solid, provoking that some diverted from the correct way of the Truth and took wrong paths, which with the pass of time would bring serious and terrible problems to the followers of Jesus the Messiah that would generate such a deception that it survives until today.
How many have heard the following phrase: "Maranatha" ("Maran - atha") Greek for the Aramaic, which means "The Lord Comes" used by Paul in First of Corinthians 16/22 and that popularized among the believers of the first century and that gets to us until today, but few know that Paul diverted from the right path regarding this matter, because no one had him predicting when the Merciful Lord Jesus the Messiah would return to the Earth.
We are all compelled to know and to respect the decisions of the True and Only God, but regretfully Paul did not do it but he exceeded his functions and deceived the believers of the first century and that deceit continues until today so it is our duty to establish a reference point to unmask such a lie.
We will begin with what the Book of Revelation illustrates and teaches us, we ask you to put much attention to the following, in Revelations chapter 5 verse 2 the following question is made: "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?"
Such a question deserves a unique and worthy answer, but first let's see what happened after the question was made: "And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon." As we can appreciate there was no person or being that was worthy of opening the Book and to lose the Seals, in other words, NOBODY, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY CAN TALK, TEACH, REVEAL AND SAY ANYTHING ABOUT GOD'S PLANS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE BOOK CONTAINS, now let's see if someone worthy to open the Book and to lose the Seals was found: "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
In other words only Jesus the Messiah is the only one worthy of opening the Book and to lose its Seals, no one else until that moment could do it, but let's see what Paul did with the false teaching of the Rapture, let's read in First Thessalonians 4 verse from 15 to 17: "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in the Messiah shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
As you can appreciate Paul talks of something that he doesn't know, because in first place he is not worthy of opening the Book nor to lose its Seals and therefore could not know its content only Jesus the Messiah and that content was not made public to the servants of God but until Jesus the Messiah Revealed it before the end of the first century many years after Paul's death.
So we ask the following, could Paul talk about God's plans if he did not and could not know them? Could he promise a Rapture that had not been taught and supported by Jesus the Messiah? How could he know God's plans if the Revelation still had not been delivered yet to the only one worthy that's Jesus the Messiah?
But what happened with the Rapture which Paul taught as a True Doctrine in his time, lets read what the Holy Scriptures tells in Second of Thessalonians 2/1-5: "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and [by] our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of the Messiah is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come,] except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?"
As we can appreciate, in the second letter to the Thessalonians, the supposed soon coming of Jesus the Messiah would not take place so soon but contrary now they would have to wait some events to take place and events that even he did not knew.
And to be more clear of this false doctrine let's see how the very same Paul who taught that the Messiah would come in his time, finishes, let's read in Second Timothy 4/ 6-8 the following: "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."
What happened? That in the First letter of Thessalonians Paul had told that he among others and the dead in the Messiah would be taken by HIM in that time and now has to change his teaching because he is about to be beheaded by the Roman Emperor and what he had taught and assured was not fulfilled, and that is true because with Revelations we know now the plans of God and we know that what Paul taught was false.
And this is proved with what Jesus the Messiah taught us in Mathew chapter 24 Verse 14 and that according to the World English Bible was translated as follows: "This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come."
As we can see everything is connected, just as the Good News of the Kingdom have not been preached, neither can the End come, so we can affirm that the doctrine of the Rapture is false and that this teaching doesn't come from God nor is supported by Jesus the Messiah, contrary we must respect what was revealed in Revelations under penalty of Divine punishment, let's not be forgetful hearers and remember the following in Revelations 22:18-19: "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book."
As you might have appreciated, the Institution that did not consolidated, nowadays begins to fall apart and threats to take to the bottom of the abyss all those that cannot escape from it, if you are interested in knowing what God says regarding all aspects of the True Faith and does not want to continue to follow the daughters or mother of the religious harlots, we invite you to contact us at thelastchurch7@gmail.com or visit the web page churchofGod.tk, you can also ask for lessons by e-mail for your spiritual growth and in that way share with you what God revealed in the Book of Revelation which the majority of Religious Groups until today do not dare to say to you, so you decide.
