DO YOU KNOW THE WORLD POWERS?

SEVEN WORLD POWERS

Do you know them and where are they now?

Rev.17:10; Job. 5:19

https://www.jazuweb.com/world-powers.1-7

INTRODUCTION:

Who are the world powers? Are they humans or Nations? How do we know them? Are they still in existence or have they disappeared?  These and more shall be treated here in this site. Read on.

When we talk of world powers, our people’s mind shall quickly run to 1.Germany, 2.Japan, 3.France, 4.China, and of course Britain and finally US.  Well, the mention of US is completely correct but other ones are not included.  You may ask why? The world powers I’m talking about are the ones recognized by the Bible. World powers from the Bible are known to God and they were approved by him.

You may be surprised hearing this from me. I want to say that our people are talking of world powers because these nations mentioned above are able to build one nuclear weapon or the other. They are able to build biological or chemical weapons of mass destruction, and for that they are grouped as world powers. This ability does not make all of them as world powers at all. We shall read from the Bible to buttress our argument very well. The world powers in the Bible were not called world powers but “kings of the earth” Ps.2:2-4.

They ruled as kings of the world with executive authority over all other nations of the world at their times. For example, Babylon was able to organize the world against king Jehoiakim of Judah when he rebelled against Babylon 2kgs.24:1-3. When king Jehoiakim rebelled from serving the king of Babylon as commanded by the lord from the mouth of Jeremiah, the lord used Babylon to organize the Chaldeans, the Syrians, the Moabites and Ammonites against Judah (Allied Forces).  

Why were they called kings of the earth? They were the ones that have ruled the world at one time or the other, and especially handling Israel because of their transgressions against God. They are seven in number. Let’s read from the Bible. “He shall deliver thee in six troubles, yea in seven there shall no evil touch thee” Job. 5:19. “And there are seven kings, five have fallen and one is, and the other is not yet come, but when he cometh, he shall continue a short space” Rev.17:10. These two verses are the same. We shall give interpretation to these passages of the Bible and relate them to where they belong with others.

This word, Job 5:19 was a prophecy spoken to Abraham from Job, how?   The book of Job was supposed to be the first book of the Bible, because Job was living in the days of Abraham. But because it did not deal with creation, or furnished us with the account of creation details, the Septuagint changed its position and put Genesis first, which gave us the account of creation. Well they were right, because we need first the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth, before we begin to say other things that God made or created. This account would also inform us about the creator himself and how he created all things.

The Hebrew book said “he that must come to God must first believe that he is” Heb. 11:6.  Job said to Abraham, “that God shall deliver him in six troubles, and yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee”. This was because Abraham made a mistake by not asking from God about the first famine, whether he would go to Egypt or not, before going down to Egypt at the first ever famine that broke out in his day. You may ask. How did you know? Do you know that there’s a war going on between the kingdom of God, and the kingdom of Darkness? In Egypt his wife was snatched from him Gen. 12: 10-20. That’s part of the war.  They would have messed up Sarah, had God not intervened quickly in his behalf. The kingdom of God would not be compromised to his enemies.

Let’s see no. 1 reason. The Bible recorded that “Abraham went down” Gen.12:10. He was expected to remain above only. But he went down. This went down had a spiritual connection with his lineage.  When he went up it was also recorded, see Gen. 13:1. He went up and out of Egypt. The No.2 reason, God became annoyed for that journey to Egypt. And God said to him, “know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and they shall afflict them four hundred years” Gen. 15:13. It was the reason his grandson Jacob/Israel was in captivity in Egypt. His word must surely come to pass.

If you could remember, how many years did Israel stay in Egypt? Get the correct number in Ex. 12:40. Now as they went down into Egypt, they latter entered into slavery which they did not know that they would enter, and why? Initially they were happy but latter through the king that knew not Joseph, they became his servants. Now Egypt became the first world power. Are you surprised? Any of the world powers had one thing to start or the other. Civilization started in Egypt, check your records. And Israel also had something to do there wherever they go. They built their Pyramid brick houses, making Bricks with hard labour.  So Egypt was the first world power which is recognized by the Bible. FIRST WORLD POWER WAS EGYPT.

Let’s continue.

I’m not going to talk about how Israel left Egypt because you know it very well. And I’m not going to say about the man who brought them out of Egypt because you also know him. Still I’m not talking about the miracles that followed them along the way because you have heard of them. But we are going to continue to trace the next world power.

THE SECOND WORLD POWER WHO OR WHERE?

When Israel left Egypt, they entered into the wilderness and from there they came to the promise land and settled. Many years passed with them in the promise land. Of course you know that Moses saw it only but did not enter into it. After a time in the days of Samuel the prophet, the people of Israel demanded for a king. They said they wanted a king which they could see, like other nations of the world to rule them, instead of the king which they could not see.

This demand displeased both Samuel and God himself. However, Saul the son of Kish was approved for them by God.  And time without number king Saul since he was not God’s choice would not hearken to the instructions of God through Samuel.  At the end God rejected him and chose a man of his own heart and that was David, the son of Jesse.

After the reign of David it was his son Solomon.  After Solomon it was his son Rehoboam I kgs. 12. Then the sins of his father Solomon made God to divide Israel into two. One part went to the servant of Solomon that went into exile, which was Jeroboam. Then the two tribes were left for the son of Solomon Rehoboam. 

As soon as the ten tribes of Israel were delivered into the hands of Jeroboam, he left the house of David, and with the ten tribes he began to worship idols. After building his first capital in Peneul, the latter moved it to Samaria. Israel was then divided into two. The one part i.e the ten tribes began to take the name Israel, the two remaining tribes took the name of “the Jews”. The two tribes were Judah and Benjamin.

But from the hands of Jeroboam Israel was led to sin I kgs. 12:30. And they never returned again or had anything to do with the Jews. After many years God sent the Northern Israel, ie the ten tribes into the second captivity to Assyria. There they suffered in the hands of many Assyrian kings, including Shalmanezzer, Pul, Tigleth Pilesar, Senncherib  etc. You can see this record in I Chron. 5:25-26.

Do not forget the prophecy of Job to Abraham. He said “He or God shall deliver thee in six troubles, yea in seven there shall no evil touch thee” Job. 5:19. Here Israel had seen two troubles, 1.trouble from Egypt and 1 from Assyria. It’s remaining four troubles, let’s continue.

As the trouble of the Northern Israel continued, the sins of Southern Israel which is the Jews began to appreciate tremendously. One of her kings Amaziah went to war. He defeated them and carried their gods which could neither deliver himself, nor his people and began to worship it. And God warned him through a prophet and he could not hear 2Chron.25:14-16. That was why they were punished there.

Israel suffered in the hands of Sennecherib greatly, because they put a heavy burden of paying taxes upon them. And Israel was also building sculptural idols of all sorts for them, since they love to serve and worship it. In those days God sent Jeremiah the prophet to begin his job. He began as a small boy, may be around 17-18 years of age. And God told Jeremiah what to say and when he said it, the big prophets who had been rejected by God engineered the people and they rejected his word. A son of a Priest even slapped him for this prophecy Jer. 28:1-4.

And when Jeremiah looked at their big tummies and their big necks, he came back to God confessing that he was a child Jer. 1:5-7.  And God rebuked again saying “don’t look at their faces, do not say I’m a child. Before you entered your mother’s womb I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I ordained thee a prophet to the nations” Jer.1.

From here Jeremiah mustered courage and began to do his prophesies. One of his outstanding prophesies was the one that took both the Northern Israel and the Southern side to their next captivity. He said “And this whole land (Israel and the Jews) shall be desolation and astonishment. And these nations (the whole world) shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. From here the second world power was almost ready to go. So ASSYRIA WAS THE SECOND WORLD POWER.

Now I’m not talking of the way they handed over themselves or how they overthrew one another, instead, I’m showing them to you so you can know them. But if you want to know how they operated and took over from each other, go to the book of Rapture written by me and study it there. Title: “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”.      

Only the Northern Israel was in Assyria, the Jews were not there. But the Northern side represented them all. Yet as the sins of the northern side continued to scarlet, Judah began to admire and to worship idols. Then Jeremiah’s prophecy of seventy years in Babylon Jer. 25:11-12 would include Judah. That is to say the third captivity of Israel would include the Southern side Judah. Jeremiah prophesied it.   

As the big prophets argued and argued Jeremiah, and before their eyes the king of Babylon warred against Judah and took the king Jehoiakim captive, who wanted to kill Jeremiah because of the writings and prophecy Jer.36, 2kgs. 24.1:1-3. The Northern Israel was already in Babylon before Judah joined them there. Nebuchadnezzar had defeated Assyria and took Israel from them. This is the way it’s going to be, because many people believe the known Bishops, the very Revds, the right Revds and the Rev. Drs as the only people with good messages or end time messages. But the truth was not with those big prophets.

I’m assuring you that God might go for the less to reveal his programs while people go to the known ones to confuse themselves. Babylon was the place where the Northern Israel and the Southern side joined up again, but they were still in captivity. When they joined again in Babylon, they built the famous “Hanging Gardens” in Babylon. And so Babylon was the “Third world power     after Assyria. THIRD WORLD POWER WAS BABYLON

You may wonder how these nations are called world powers. These nations were world powers because they held God’s nation Israel captive at one time or the other. No one could hold Israel captive except God grants it to those people. Just follow this write up.

When the time for Babylon expired, they handed over to Cyrus the king for the fourth world power Persia.  Go to the book of Rapture to see how they handed over to each other.  Do not forget about the prophecy of Job to Abraham, that “He or God shall deliver thee in six troubles, and yea in seven, there shall no evil touch thee” Job. 5:19. We have seen four troubles with Persia. There remain three troubles to come.  FOURTH WORLD POWER WAS PERSIA. Let’s see the next world power. We shall make sure they are complete.

When Israel came out from Persia, they entered into another world power. This time it was the Bronze kingdom in the master plan of the Beast kingdom. In the master plan, Greece was the Bronze kingdom Dan.2:39. People talk of world power because those people are able to build one nuclear weapon or the other.  These things do not make a nation a world power. But those who have no time for the Bible are the ones that call those nations as world powers.  Instead God made these nations recognized by the Bible as world powers and put Israel there and punished them with those nations, check your records.

To begin the Grecian kingdom, the Romans had to assassinate the king of Greece, Philip of Macedon, the father of Alexander the great. This assassination forced out Alexander the great to start his operation in the world.  Thus when he came, he conquered the world and built Alexandria in Egypt as his first capital, but when he reached Susa in Babylon, he decided to use Susa as capital. He died in Babylon and his four Generals shared his kingdom. All of these you will read in the book of Rapture. So GREECE WAS THE FIFTH WORLD POWER.   

I’m tracing them through the Bible and applying it on how they handled the people of Israel.  Now let’s continue to the next world power after Greece. In the master plan it was Iron kingdom Dan.2:40.

The sixth world power was the fourth member in the Beast’s family. You will read their full details in the book of Rapture with the keyword “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”. This book is extra ordinarily loaded. It’s only those who have bought this book that shall know all I’m saying about the world powers and the Beast’s kingdom. Here ROME WAS THE SIXTH WORLD POWER

When Rome was in power in the world, that was the time the next world conqueror was born. Who is the next world conqueror? Jesus was the next world conqueror who conquered the world Jon. 16:33. Again that was the time king Herod commanded to kill all children from two years and downwards Matt.2. That was because he heard from the wise men that another king had been born in his domain. Reading from our blog sites will enlighten your understanding and empower you spiritually to stand out for God.

From Rome we are moving to the next world power which would be the last and seventh in the number. For the Bible said “And there are seven kings, five have fallen and one is, and the other is not yet come, but when he comes, he shall continue a short space” Rev.17:10.  We have seen the sixth world power and who is the seventh, which has not yet come? Rome continued until the appearance in 1945 of America.

What are you saying? Are you saying that America is the last world power? YES! Is there any prove? You can go back and check the ones we have already mentioned earlier if there was an error anywhere.

In the book of Rapture I said America was in prophecy in Rev. 17:10 as the last and seventh one which is not yet come.   More prove please. The Bible said this about the seventh king which is not yet come, that he shall stay a short space. But it said five of the earlier ones had fallen and one is. Now the five fallen ones are 1.Egypt the first world power, 2.Assyria the second world power, 3.Babylon the third world power, 4. Persia the fourth world power, and 5.Greece the fifth world power.

These kingdoms ruled the world and fell, but one is at the time of writing the book of Revelation which was ROME.  That was the reason Rome was the sixth existing king during this time. Again at the same time it was said that the seventh king has not yet come. By this time there was nothing as America. It was a verse land uninhabited. The land of America was then forestry. But the eye of prophecy caught her at that distance and booked her. Today America is ruling the world. World powers rule the world 1. Politically,2. Economically, 3. Educationally, and even 4 socially.  In these areas America is in the lead in the world.  This is the seventh and the last world power. THE SEVENTH AND LAST WORLD POWER IS AMERICA. 

Job told Abraham saying “He shall deliver thee in six troubles, yea in seven, there shall no evil touch thee”. The seventh trouble or evil against Israel would have been Israel in bondage or Captivity to America. Now watch for yourself if Israel is in bondage to America. The answer is no. So that’s what Job meant. Instead, Israel is in an agreement with America known as “AICE”. This means “America, Israeli Cooperative Enterprise”. Now you can agree with me that we are just at the corner of seeing these things come to pass. Give your life to Christ now before you cry “Had I known”.  I told you to make this site your spiritual Cafeteria.  

AFTER AMERICA WHAT OR WHO NEXT?:

No one cares to ask God what will happen when America falls out as the last and seventh world power.  No nation among all the world powers had extended her time to a minute unless approved by God Almighty. For example, when the time of Babylon ended, and Belshazzar was strong on the throne, he was disjointed and was assassinated the same day after the interpretation of the handwriting on the wall Dan. 5:1-30. So America shall surely fell when her time expires and possibly Europe shall mount back again.

All prophesies about world powers have fulfilled just as prophesied. But sharply the Bible declares that “the eight is of the seven” Rev.17:11. The question is “Is there an eight world power”? No!

Then what does the Bible mean by saying “the eight is of the seven”? It means that the Union of Brass and Iron which was Rome and Greece in the master plan (see book Rapture) was among the seven world powers. And now the union is already in place waiting for the fall of America. This means the appearance of Antichrist is just around the corner.  We know that God does not have an eight number. He rested on the seventh day.

Europe is ready and they are waiting for their master the Beast/Antichrist to appear.  Of course all equipments and instruments for his use have been put into place. You might doubt it. But the Bible is not talking in vain. THE ATM, THE CREDIT CARDS, THE MASTER CARDS and all CASH CARDS etc are all his instruments.  When the time comes, these cards will be in use, even as they are already in use now.  You may be asked to update your card with any of the options of the Beast’s systems. Updating your card with any of these options means to be marked with the Beast’s identification, which makes you his candidate forever. Then you could be able to buy and sell Rev.13:16-17. Study these things in the book of Rapture. Please get this book.

For the Bible said “That no one might buy or sell save he that has the mark, or the name of the Beast or the number of his name. And here is wisdom, let he that has understanding count the number of his name, for it is the number of a man. And his number is six hundred, three score and six” Rev.13:16-18. We have counted this number from the man’s name. Get knowledge of who the man is, and then his number.

We have uploaded this number earlier in the site as “His number is 666”. You can update your knowledge here or at any of our sites, because we are appointed to talk about end times. That’s why we always talk about end times in all our sites. Now you can compare the things you read from here with what you read elsewhere, you are the judge.   

Don’t relent in reading end time messages from all our sites. At least you know the world powers and their number, with their relevant interpretations.

Thank you and God bless     

  

  

THE BEAST OR THE ANTICHRIST

If you read my book of Rapture, these beasts were known as Antichrist. Study about their formation and see them in the seal 4.



From the first Beast to the last are in the number of the Antichrist. These are the Beasts of the great tribulation. Look for the first Beast in the blog, it's the Lion.  The second is Bear. The third is Leopard while the fourth is the Terrible Beast.
It could be viewed from the book of Daniel 7:1-7. And if you obtain my book of Rapture with title, "Rapture: the Past, Present and what to Expect in Future", you will understand it fully. Just Google this keyword and see it displayed to you. Buy it with a little token from google, amazon.com. Apple.com, Barns and Noble etc.
These Beasts were formed from the four kingdoms in the first dream of Nebuchadnezzar Dan.2. They are the ones that shall perform the great tribulation any moment from now. Many Christians are deceived that they shall not experience the Antichrist or that the Church shall not see the Antichrist, this is an error.
If you have any confusion, call on me with these numbers +234-8100-168o-42 ; +2349-0331-993-39.

DID JESUS PRACTICE JUDAISM?

DID JESUS PRACTICE JUDAISM?

https://www.jazuweb.com  

INTRODUCTION:

 What is Judaism and who owned it? Where and when did it start? Let's go into the topic properly.We will first define Judaism and when it started and where it began. Judaism is the religion of the Jews, which started immediately after their exilic period and return from Babylon. 

Before they went into Babylon, the Prophet Jeremiah had prophesied about their entry into captivity to Babylon Jer.25:11-12. Israel as nation had the Mosaic religion in place. But along the line, something happened and they got divided into two, one side, i.e the Northern side became Israel, while  the Southern side became the Jews. Jeremiah had prophesied that the two Hebrew nations, i.e 1. Israel and 2. The Jews would go into captivity to Babylon. They collectively rejected both Jeremiah and his prophecy. But on what led to their division, see the blog "Solomon's sins divided Israel" here in this site.  

In the law of Moses, they were told that the land would also observe the Sabbath and they did not accept it from God Lev.25:1-6. When Israel rejected this law, God decided to send them away so that the land then would observe her Sabbaths.   And Jeremiah said “As long as the land lay desolate, she keeps her Sabbaths" 2Chron.36:21.

And because of this rejection, and yet they identified themselves with the worship of idolatry which crept into Israel through king Jeroboam, and Judah also was eyeing it, Israel was first sent into Assyria for more than a hundred years and then to Babylon. Then God instructed Nebuchadnezzar to carry Israel there, before taking Judah also.  For this prophecy of 70 years to Babylon the king Jehoiakim sought to kill Jeremiah Jer. 36:24-28. But God hid him and the king burned his writings. 

The king’s prophets said it would not happen and they deceived the king to believe in a lie. But before his eyes Jeremiah’s words came to pass, and the king was arrested and he agreed to pay tribute to Babylon and he was restored 2kgs.24:1. But when he rebelled after three years Nebuchadnezzar came back with "the Allied forces". These Allied were 1. "the Chaldees" 2. "the Moabites" 3. "Syrians" 4. "the Ammonites" against him and they killed Jehoiakim.

After this Judah was taken to Babylon to wait there for the next seventy years to expire. After the expiration of seventy years, Persia took over from Babylon Dan.5:21-30. Because no one challenges God on his word, he allowed the next "world power Persia" to continue from where Babylon stopped. But king Cyrus of Persia was commanded by God to restore the loots which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem 2Chron. 36:22-23, Dan.9:25, and also "to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem" Ezra. 1:1-4 which was burned at the third invasion of Nebuchadnezzar because of their stubbornness Jer.39.

It was king Cyrus who released the Jews to go back and rebuild the Temple and from there he released much people to go and do that. It was from here that those who went back began to seek for their God that they established Judaism just for the Jews as their religion. But they allowed many parties into the Temple to function in it. Among the parties allowed were 1 “the Sanhedrims 2 the Sadducees 3 the Pharisees etc. these parties were officially allowed to operate in the Temple.

 Then this religion was in place before the birth of Christ and it was the religion of his earthly parents. So before we continue, we must have taken note of these events that led to the establishment of Judaism.  But the Northern Israel which went into Babylon before the Jews came in did not seek for their God in Babylon but relaxed without expectation, but today they constitute the majority of people in Israel.

THEN THE QUESTION DID JESUS PRACTICE JUDAISM?     

This is a delicate question in its totality.  One is tempted to say yes, while we might not totally rule it out entirely. We will try it out to the best of our knowledge using only the scriptures to answer this question. In the first place we will say yes, because in his early days as a youth or as a child, he was following his father Joseph and his Mother Mary to the Temple for worship. At that time they were worshipping under Judaism; because that was the religion his parents knew.

An example of this show that as a child he went with them to worship into the Temple, which was the Temple of Judaism, and they didn’t know that the young Jesus had stayed back and was reasoning the scriptures with the Doctors and Lawyers and was questioning them with the scriptures and they were surprised at his wisdom. His Mother Mary and father sought for him three days and after seeing him, she asked him a question saying, “Son why did thou deal with us thus, behold thy father and I have sought for thee sorrowing? Luke. 2:43-49.

Now hear his answer to his mother, “How is it that you are looking for me, don’t you know that I must be about my father’s business”? This question was an answer with a question also. Yes, it was an answer indicating that Mary was wrong in describing Joseph her husband as the father of Jesus. And hearing this kind of answer with a   question, she did not say any other thing because that was true and she knew it well.

He didn’t waste time in giving them an indication that he came for a special purpose, which must be fulfilled. But at this early stage of his life he practiced Judaism, because he was obedient to his earthly father and Mother, following them.  With this early life we shall not count it to him as one who practiced Judaism but we shall only judge him with his adulthood character or behavior.

ADULTHOOD:

When Jesus became a man, or say in the Hebrew law a Son, he was about 30 years. When a man is about 30 years of age, he is said to be a man. At this time he could be numbered as a Son, and could be enlisted into the army and go to war, even though sometimes people had been taken to war at 20 years. When he attains to that age, his father would invite his kinsmen and celebrate his son, saying that he is now a son, because he has reached 30 years.  After the celebration the son could make a statement of acceptance into this “Age group”.

And if the son happened to release any “Bondman or woman” from the father’s hold immediately, such bondman or woman is free forever. This is why it is written in scripture saying “If the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed” Jon 8:32-36.  The people of Israel at that time did not understand that he referred them to their law which was in existence already.  

So when Jesus came to this age bracket, he was celebrated by his heavenly father after his Baptism by John at the river Jordan. How did it happen? Upon lighting up from the river Jordan, the Bible reported that Heaven opened up on him and a voice said from heaven “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” Math. 3:16-17. This was the way God celebrated Jesus.

In another place he also said “this is my beloved son in whom I’m well pleased, hear you him”.  This voice was the voice of the father in acknowledging the Son-ship of Jesus. Also this show that Jesus was 30 at this time, and it was when he started his ministry. He could not start his ministry until he was celebrated as a son.

After the celebration, then he was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil and he won or overcame him. Then he started his ministry immediately by walking along the river or sea of Galilee, he saw and calling his first Disciples Peter and his brother Andrew Matt. 4:18. After choosing them he began to train them and gave them the word that he was going to establish his own Church; and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it Matt. 16:18. 

By this time he was yet operating in the Temple of Judaism but his ministry was not Judaism.  Some said he was practicing Judaism because he was yet operating in the Temple, that’s wrong. That concept was wrong because there were evidences that he was not practicing Judaism at all.

Number one: if he was practicing Judaism he would have continued with it and not promising to establish another one when he was yet in the Temple. No.2 Notice that after his resurrection on the first day, in the book of John 20, he was with his disciples for forty days after his resurrection on earth Acts. 1:3, but he never entered into the Temple again, why? The reason is that he ended the law Rom. 10:4, and the new life in him was no longer to operate in the Temple but at the Upper room.

Operating at the Temple after his resurrection would be like putting new wine in an old bottle.  But as he was with his disciples for forty days, where was he operating? The upper room was his new place for his new Church and also where he had always met with them Jon.20:19-20. It was still at this upper room where he met Thomas who doubted about his resurrection, to see and feel his hands and side Jon.20:22-29. So his operation in the Temple ended the law but his new life started the Church at the upper room by his Spirit. Don’t forget he said he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it Matt.5:17.

It means that the law was not destroyed but fulfilled. And the scripture says “Jesus is the end of the law for righteousness to them that believe” Rom.10:4. Now those believe in the law with its commandments only need to apply faith to it and be saved. Yes because law was not destroyed but fulfilled. But those who believe in the finished work of Jesus would have express reception of his Spirit.

This is true as James said, “if you believe in the law and yet offend in one point you are guilty of all” Jams. 2:10. What it means is that everyone is now directed to go on with the finished work of Christ on the cross, not going back to do the law that had been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. For no one could fulfill the law and it was the reason Jesus came and fulfilled it us.

MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH:

It is true that Jesus did not establish the Church which he prophesied to establish in his lifetime Matt. 16:18. But the Spirit of the lord is the lord himself as we know it and believe 2Cor.3:17. His physical presence operated in the Temple but his Spiritual presence started his Church. And to make his disciples know that he was with them still, he appeared severally to them after his resurrection in the upper room Acts.1:3.

From the resurrection morning to the day of his ascension he never entered the Temple again, check this out yourself. Now it is from here that we will begin to count properly if Jesus operated with Judaism. The ministry of the Apostles did not operate in the Temple but at the upper room. The Apostles Peter and John in Acts 3, when they went to pray at the hour of prayer was a mistake which later escalated and brought trouble to the Church.

Read about the Apostles Peter and John’s mistake in   https://www.engaeawesomeblog.blogspot.com.The Holy Ghost had just inaugurated the Church at the upper room, these Apostles not understanding that they should no longer enter into the Temple of Judaism again for worship, decided to go there and pray at the time of prayer. The Spirit knowing that they have made a mistake stopped them from entering the temple. Read the rest of the story in that blog site.    

But from all indications it meant that they no longer were allowed to worship at the Temple but at the upper room. You could remember that Jesus took them there to celebrate the Passover at the upper room the night before his arrest early the next morning at Gethsemane. 

So from all these records do you see Jesus practicing Judaism? Someone said he practiced Judaism because his parents took him there at his infancy. Is that how you judge? Even at that we have earlier shown how he stopped on the way and reasoned with the doctors and lawyers, when his parents took him there.  His answer to Mary was “How is that seek for me, don’t you know that I must be about my father’s business”?

From here don’t you see that Judaism was not his father’s business? He then promised to establish his own Church which the gates of Hell could not prevail against it. He started immediately after his baptism by John the Baptist, to call up the foundation members of his Church. These people he called Apostles and ordained them. And they were exactly the ones his Spirit inaugurated at the upper room on the day of Pentecost when he descended by his Spirit as the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit Acts.2.

Now how could a right thinking person say that Jesus practiced Judaism, except such one is an enemy or one without the knowledge of the scriptures?  I believe I have exposed these things for all to see. So if someone asks you the question, “did Jesus not practice Judaism”? These truths will help you to answer such one and say No! if you have any further questions or concerns please use my email addresses at the top to communicate me.

WHY THE SEAL WAS INTRODUCED

WHY WAS THE SEAL INTRODUCED?

https://www.jazublog.com

INTRODUCTION:

First of all, what is seal? Seal according to Oxford Advanced Dictionary 6^th edition means “Official mark” or “official design or mark stamped on a document and carries the authority of a particular person or organization”. 2. It also means “Coverage” i.e “to cover properly” with identification mark of a person or organization. For example, when a foundation of a building is laid, it must be covered properly inside and outside. This is seal.   

Seal could be seen from the book of Genesis 1:2 when the Holy Spirit sealed the earth after restoration from Satan’s destruction of the earth. “Then it showed the mark of God’s ownership of heavens and the earth”. Again it is “It reveals the authenticity of God’s programs in the Bible”. When the first seal is opened, the programs written in it begins to play as events to the world. Seal carries these events and when opened they start to play through the cassettes as events into the world.

When God instructed Noah on how to build the Ark, he was given the form or pattern. God said to him “Build yourself an Ark of Gofer wood; rooms shall thou put in the Ark, and thou shall pitch it with Pitch within and without” etc Gen.6:14-16. To pitch it with pitch within and without means “to seal it with seal inside and outside”.

We should study these things very well to see and observe what the Bible said about seal. The whole of the Ark was sealed within and without or inside and outside with Bitumen which served as mortar.  This seal made the Ark water tight against the flood and it sailed on the waters and saved Noah with the rest inside the Ark, but let’s continues.  

Seal has variations:

In the book of Rapture I showed the variations of the seal as “the act of the Holy Spirit on the saints upon their attainment of salvation through the name of Jesus Christ” Eph. 1:13. So when one becomes a believer in Christ, the Holy Spirit performs the act of sealing on him/her. This seal makes it possible for god to know you as his. So wherever you are, he knows as his own. This is also seal in another aspect. And Apostle Paul warned us not to grieve the Holy Spirit so that he doesn’t cancel our seal Eph. 4:30. He will not only cancel your seal if grieve him, but he will also fight against you Isaiah 63:10.

Yet in a little while backwards in Gen. 1:2 we see how the Holy Spirit sealed the earth after restoring it from the destruction of the earth by Satan. The Bible said “God created the heavens and the earth” Gen.1:1, this was perfectly done. But sharply in verse two we see that the earth became void again, why?; after a perfect creation of heavens and the earth?

From here now, this was the place we spotted Lucifer trying to be like the most high God, and it was discovered and he was cast down to the earth, then he began doing his destructive game after he was cast down to the earth.  But we believe that God might have created the heavens and the earth after a long time from the time he created the Angels.

Yes because we didn’t see the record of his creation of the Angels. So the Angels were created first before the creation of heavens and the earth, and Lucifer was an Angel before his rebellion was discovered in heaven. So he was in heaven as an Angel before the heavens and the earth were created. He was there during this creation and that’s why he could destroy it when he was cast down. But he never remembered that God created him and that he can do all things.

And there was a gap period of more or about   millions of years existing between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2. We thought of this because the record of Lucifer’s action from the book of Isaiah indicated that Lucifer had expected to receive “a hand over from God”; but it was not forth coming, then he decided to take it by force Is.14:12-14.  God’s creation of heavens and earth were perfect in the first place, but soon the earth became void, what happened?

 He had plotted rebellion in heaven and tried to become God and he was promptly cast down to the earth, though not without war in heaven Rev. 12:7-9. He said to himself that “he would be like the highest” Isa.14:14. But when this thought was yet being incubated in his heart, it was trapped in God’s eyes and a command came from the most high to cast him down to the earth.

And as the Angels who were loyal to God tried to cast him down, there arose Angels who became loyal to him about 1/3 of them and they were cast down to the earth through war Rev.12:7-9. God’s Angels overpowered them and pushed them down to the earth.

This in effect made him and his loyalists to destroy the beautifully created earth after he was cast down with his loyalist Angels, so that the earth became void again and without shape, and formless. Then it was after the restoration of the earth and sealing by the Holy Spirit, for he “hovered over the formless earth, and gave it a reasonable amount of heat which dissolved the waters again Gen.1:2. Then God commanded that there should be light and it was so.

After this he sealed the waters and gave it boundaries. From here the Holy Spirit owned seal/s, see Gen. 1:2; Eph.1:13. And all of God’s programs were sealed. This is to make it impossible for Satan’s destruction again, and that’s why all of his programs are on seal 2Tim.2:19. Therefore seal authenticates his authority over the Word or Bible.

Since that day God then to sealed all his programs with seal.  Apostle Paul after studying these things, he informed his spiritual son Timothy that God’s foundations or programs is sure and having seal 2Tim.2:19. This is why no document is regarded as authentic in the east without seal, according to Smith’s Bible dictionary page 601, par 1. 

Therefore the use of seal cannot be over emphasized and without seal, no one gives better explanation of God’s programs. In the topic of Rapture without seal, especially “Pre tribulation Rapture teaching” the teachers make shipwreck of its teaching. Pre tribulation means “Rapture before tribulation or before the appearance of the antichrist”.  Without seal, they contradict almost all of the teaching about Rapture. Because they do not have the relevant understanding of how or could not combine seal with Rapture, every bit of their teaching is contradicting the Bible.

For example, see the book of Rapture with this keyword, “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”, it is written with seal, and this is the real Biblical teaching. It is “Post tribulation Rapture teaching” under “Historic Pre millennialism”.

This teaching with seal under “Pre millennialism” is yet under the school of “Futurism”. It was the topic and teaching of which the Lord Jesus taught his disciples Matt. 24:29-31 which says “immediately after the tribulation of those days”, we could begin to expect the coming of the son of man”. It is as well the message of Daniel 7:21, “I beheld and the same horn (Beast) made war against the saints and prevailed”. “Making war against  the saints” means to kill the saints or the Church.

It is also the teaching of Apostle Paul, 2Thess.2:1-4. Paul said “that day shall not come, unless or except the man of sin or the Antichrist appears, and there must come a falling away first”. Here Paul instructed the Church to watch out “when the Beast would enter into the Temple to claim that he is God” 2 thess.2:4. This therefore is “Post tribulation”.  Yes the appearance of this Beast into the Temple would cause tribulation because the Jews would reject him there. And his rejection will trigger off tribulation against the Church.   

What does falling away first mean? It means that the Antichrist must first come before that day of Rapture, and those who believe not this topic must fall away first when they see the antichrist in the world. Their faith will fail because they believe they would be taken up in the Rapture before the appearance of the Antichrist. But if eventually they see him on earth, they would say that the word of God has finally failed, and so they would damn the consequences and take the mark of the Beast, or any of his options. But those with this knowledge would not be afraid because we believe the right topic.  

Therefore “Pre tribulation Rapture teaching” is the erroneous view, avoid it now and embrace “Post tribulation view” which is the correct view. This was the Biblical topic which Paul, Jesus and Daniel preached in the Bible. Apostle John also wrote to the Church saying “you have heard that Antichrist shall come, even as there are many Antichrists in the world already” I Jon. 1:18.

If there is no way the coming of Antichrist concerns the Church, what’s the need emphasizing about his coming to the church? John was in agreement that Antichrist is coming against the church hence he was informing us about it. But even at that time many of them were in place.

With this teaching from Paul, there’s agreement with Jesus that “when you will see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel” Math. 24:15. Abomination of desolation is the entrance of the Beast/Antichrist into the Temple of Jerusalem.  In the Temple Paul instructed the Church at Thessaloniki to watch when the Beast would enter into it to claim that he is God 2 Thess. 2:4.

If Apostle Paul wrote these things in the Bible, why have some people left the truth to follow false teaching? This teaching from Apostle Paul is “Post tribulation teaching”. When you see the Antichrist into the Temple, this is “Post tribulation”. The Bible does not contradict itself, and where there is contradiction, it is from the teacher, not the Bible. Apostle Paul had been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and his words misapplied greatly by people so much. There’s no part of the Bible that says “immediately before the tribulation of those day, you will see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven”.

What our teachers are using is assumption which is not written. Your teacher does not know it more than Jesus, Paul or Daniel. Neither does your teacher love you more than Christ. So forget about your sudden take up from the earth, instead search for my book of Rapture for the explanation of those sudden words from the Bible.

Paul knew that the Holy Spirit owned seal and he communicated it to the Church at Ephesus 1:13. He said, “When you receive the Gospel of your salvation by hearing the name of Jesus, you are saved by him and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise” Eph.1:13. This is in agreement with Jesus’ teaching which says, “No man can come to me except my father draw him” Jon. 6:44.

With this statement, we discover that the father, the son and the Holy Spirit are involved in the salvation of one soul, how? Jesus meant that it is the father who draws every sinner Jon.6:44, and presents such sinner to Jesus for salvation. And Jesus saves him/her Jon 10:9. After saving the sinner he also presents the same to the Holy Spirit for sealing Eph.1:13. This is wonderful indeed.

The Holy Spirit does the last work on the sinner and keeps him/her. Yes, today the Holy Spirit is God who is working now on earth, till the day of Redemption. Apostle Paul warns that we should not grieve the Holy Spirit by which we are sealed unto the day of redemption Eph.4:30. The question is “If we grieve him what happens”?

He will cancel his seal on whosoever grieves him.  If he cancels any one’s seal, he will also fight against you and become an enemy to you Is.63:10. The cancellation of his seal from you will in turn remove the salvation of Christ from you also. This is so because that Spirit is the Spirit of Christ 2Cor.3:17. There is no difference between them.

IF THE FIRST SEAL ON EARTH IS MAINTAINED:

The maintenance of the first seal takes us to the second and final sealing on air. This second sealing takes effect as the church is taken up in the rapture and is on air. Revelation 7:1-3 indicates that a second sealing is necessary as an ascending Angel stopped the four Angels who were drafted there in the east not to hurt the trees, and the grasses till the servants of God are sealed in our foreheads Rev. 7:1-3.

For those who do not know the importance of seal, they should study this post to be aware of it. Some say that the seal is talking about “The war of Angels through the Trumpets”. This is a clear show of great misunderstanding of seal. We see all of God’s programs on seal, especially as God’s end time program began.

Then the first seal was opened by the lamb Rev.6:1-2. This first seal said, “Conquering and to conquer. What does it mean? When the first seal was opened, the Babylonia king went out and conquered the Assyrian king and reigned. At the expiration of Babylonia kingdom, Persia through Cyrus went out and conquered Belshazzar of Babylon and reigned. It means that Kingdoms began to conquer other kingdoms. This beginning was from Babylon to Rome. The book of Rapture explains it better.  

 These conquering of the world went on in the world till Jesus conquered the world from the Roman kingdom. You know someone cannot say what he doesn’t know. Of course Jesus is one of the conquerors of the world, how many people know that? Jon.16:33. He said “be of good cheer I have overcome or conquered the world”.  

The book of Rapture from me shows you how seal is used to teach the topic of Rapture without contradiction.

People are called by God for the writing of the word, like Moses who wrote Genesis to Deuteronomy. Joshua wrote the book of Joshua and many others. Also some people are called to give the explanation of various words and topics from the Bible. I’m called to write and talk about “Eschatology” which is a derivation of two Greek words,1 “eschatos” meaning “last things” and 2. “Logos”; meaning “Study Discourse or Doctrine”. It is one of the hardest topics in the Bible.

God knew that this topic of Rapture has already been misunderstood, misinterpreted and misapplied by the so called “Revd Drs and Bishops etc.” When I look at what they teach, I shudder at it. Yet they brag about themselves so much. I have no time to brag for writing one of the best books about the true Rapture teaching.

 They overlook so many things and through their education miss out on many things from the Bible. The Bible is not all about speaking of English language, yet it is an integral part of the word. Yes we believe the use of tenses, nouns and pronouns in the interpretation of the Bible is important, but this should not remove God’s call on people or their message. Apostles Peter and John were unlearned, and they did not mind the use of these things yet they performed more than many educated ones among us today Acts. 4:13.

For example, where grammar is needed according to the study on “Hermeneutics” these Revd Drs missed it. But those Apostles did not miss it. See “Controversial Point” in my book called “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”. Grammar is used to interpret “The way” in 2Thess. 2:7.  You will discover that these Pre tribulationists didn’t get it well in “Pre tribulation Rapture teaching”. They avoid the seal program and for that they miss all the location of the topic in the program.

Seal one has events drawn into it, so that when it is opened, these events begins to play into the world and people see them as something happening by chance. The same thing happens when seal two is opened. These things are explained in the book of Rapture. When the third seal was opened, the Nation of Israel was born according to Rev.6:5-6 and Dan. 12:1b, for their explanation, see the book of Rapture.

The seal to be opened any moment from now is the fourth seal Rev.6:7-8. It is where the Beast/Antichrist comes out into the world. If you like say “it’s not your portion” and let’s watch out what’s going to happen any moment from now. But let me warn you now, you cannot say nobody told you. I have uploaded many topics in my site for you to read and benefit from, what’s stopping or who is stopping you?

In seal 4, the Holy Spirit is blocking it so that it must be opened at the proper time. The Holy Spirit is described by Paul as “He that letteth” See 2Thess. 2:7. And in the book of Rapture you can understand what the Bible is talking about as “seal Remnants” in the fourth seal. Something that looks like scissors was drawn in the front of the fourth seal to indicate “he that letteth” with picture of the seal Remnant. The seal Remnants show the number the seals which have not been opened for now, and they are four in numbers.

Obtain this book from www.amazon.com; Google.com; Apple.com etc.  Or just type into Google this keyword “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”. Google will display it to you, but you won’t read from there.

 It’s an eBook, so you need to buy it with a little token of about $9.99, and it’s yours forever. Or Go to the publisher at www.westbowpress.com and ask about the book from their Add to Cart and get it there. It will not only teach you about Rapture from the beginning of the world to the end, but it will also show you “the world powers” about seven of them which is recognized by the Bible. And also show you what seal mean and you will see how seal was used in the topic of Rapture, and in the   salvation of every soul saved etc.

God bless.
