| ““For the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets”” (Amos 3:7) ESV– ” And he said unto me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. For the time is near” (Rev. 22:10). There is a parallelism between Matthew 7:21-23 and Matthew 25:1-12, because these two passages each have two categories of people called for the Kingdom of Heaven or Kingdom of God: In Matthew 7:21-23 There are those who say ‘Lord, Lord (or Jesus, Jesus)’ and do the Will of the Father (God)- (V 21), and 2) Those who say ‘Lord, Lord (or Jesus, Jesus)’ and do iniquity (violate the law of God) – (V 22-23). NB: It should be noted that those who violate the law of God (commit iniquity- 1 Jn 3:4), are more numerous than those who obey the law of God (do His Will- 1 Jn 5:3)! The Sentence is that: the few who do the Will of God will enter His Kingdom, and the many who commit iniquity (violate the law of God) will not enter it! In Matthew 25:1-12 There are the Wise who took their lamps (the Word of God, the Bible – Ps 119:105) and oil in reserve (the Holy Spirit – 1 Sam 16:13), waiting for the Kingdom of Heaven (V 4), and, The Fools who, awaiting the Kingdom of God, took their lamps without the oil in reserve (V 3). NB: It should be noted that it is the Kingdom of Heaven that is in this Parable, compared to a bridegroom. So, the bridegroom they expect is not Christ, but the Kingdom of God which is “in our midst” (Luke 17:21) and which is to be revealed (Rom 8:19). It is made up of the ‘Sons of the kingdom’ scattered (Matt 26:31) and hidden in the world (the field) as a Treasure (Matt 13:24,38,44). Because when Christ returns from heaven, He will be accompanied by his Bride (The Risen Saints-144,000 Firstfruits-Zec 14:5; Col 3:4; 1 Thes 3:13; Rev 17:14; Rev 19:11 -14), to establish the Millennial reign. When Jesus is on earth with his Bride, there will be no more foolish women who would go and buy oil and come knocking at the door of the kingdom! This proves that the Coming of the Kingdom of God, which is hidden in the world, is different from the Coming of Christ coming in the air with his bride. We will see that later! The Sentence is that: The Wise will light their lamps with their supply of oil (‘The Holy Spirit which is given to those who obey‘-Acts 5:32), and enter into the Kingdom of God which is the Physical Nation of God, SION which will be born in a day like a mustard seed (Is 66:7-8; Luke 17:31-37; Matt 13:31) and which will go to the Place of Refuge (Rev 12:14; Mic 7:15), on the High Mountains of Galilee, specifically Mount Hermon, called Mount Zion, where the Transfiguration took place (Ez 34:13-14; Ex 15:17; De 4:48; Abd 17; Joel 2:32; 2 Pet 1:18; Matt 17:1-6), The Fools, who had not prepared, and therefore were not ready for the Birth of the physical Nation of God in one day, SION, will be distraught and wondering how to join the physical Kingdom of God on the way. for GALILEE (Rev. 12:14). And while they fuss, the Beast (8th Resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire, the future United States of Europe–Apoc 17:11-14), will launch his troops after the Nation of God, but a great Earthquake will swallow these up, cutting off all contact with God’s people, Zion safe in Galilee on Mount Hermon, the Place of Refuge (Rev. 12:15-16; Isa. 4:5-6; 8:18). It is then that Satan will be very wrathful against the physical Nation of God who will have escaped him and will turn his anger on the fools (the rest of the Church). This will be the start of the Great Tribulation where “there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Rev. 12:17; Matt. 25:30)! Then will begin the work of the Two Witnesses who will be the Representatives of the physical Nation of God (Zec 4:11; Rev 11:3-13). This work of the 2 witnesses will mainly concern the remnant of the people of God who will not have wanted to follow Elijah, to the Place of Refuge in Galilee, and who will be trapped in the Great Tribulation in Babylon (Rev. 11:3-12; 14 :9-11; 18:4). This remnant will have been seduced above all by the deceptions of the false prophet, prince of Tyre, the man of sin (Minister of the COG), who will thwart the work of Elijah, the son of man, prophet of God (Minister of the COG) (Eze 28:1-10). It should be noted that the son of man, prophet of God and the man of sin, false prophet (Antichrist) are all from the Church of God (2 Pet 2:1; 1 Jn 2:18-19; Jude 4). The false prophet will therefore not be the Papacy (the Harlot) as is commonly believed, since ‘‘the ten horns that you saw and the beast will hate the harlot, will strip her and strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will consume her with fire ‘’ (Rev. 17:16). The coming Beast will therefore destroy the Papacy, and the False Prophet will be its ally (Rev. 13); and it is Christ at his coming who will destroy both: ‘‘And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with it the false prophet, who had done before it the wonders by which he had seduced those who had taken the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. They were both cast alive into the flame of fire and brimstone.’’ (Rev. 19:19-20)! CONCLUSIONS In these last days of this evil Babylonian and Satanic system which has lasted for 6,000 years: –The Wise in the Church of God are those who do the Will of God, by obeying His laws to have the Holy Spirit (Acts 5: 32), necessary to stay awake and focused with faith on the Kingdom of God (Rev. 14:12). –The Fools in the Church of God are those who willfully disobey the laws of God and make their own religion of God (Rom 10:2-3)! The Spiritual Law of God is eternal since it existed even before the creation of the angels (Ps119:142,160; Rom 7:12,14; 2 Cor 4:18); some of them broke it and became demons, long before the creation of mankind (Ez 28:15-16: 2 Pet 2:4)! The Weekly Sabbath and the Feast of Tabernacles are Sabbaths (Holy Days) of (from) God (Lev 23:1-4, 34-36) which will be observed during the Millennium, when Christ and His Bride (the Risen Saints) will reign over Planet Earth (Isa 56:1-7; Isa 66:22-23; Soph 2:11; Zec 14:16; Ps 22:28; Rev 20:4)! If anyone today in the Church of God or in ‘certain Churches of God’ no longer keeps the divine Feasts (therefore no longer does the will of God by violating His law), he will not enter the Kingdom of God (the Nation of God that will be born in a day, SION). But if he is still alive when this nation is soon raised up (Dan 2:44), he will go through the Great Tribulation, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matt. 25:30). So will those who eat unclean meats (Isa 66:17)! One cannot say that one “simply loves Jesus,” then break his Father’s Law, and claim to gain the Kingdom of God, governed by divine Laws. God is not a God of disorder (1 Cor 14:33). The physical Kingdom of God (His physical Nation, Zion which will be born in a day – Is 66:7-8), will soon be brought about by the return to physical life of the 2nd son of man who is Elijah (Luke 17:30-37; Mk 9:2). He is the one who will restore all things to the Church of God after the Apostasy which occurred at the death of Herbert W. Armstrong, to prepare a willing people for God, BEFORE the glorious Return of Christ and his Bride to establish the Millennial Kingdom (Matt 17:11; Mal 4:5-6; Acts 3:19-21). Herbert W Armstrong was not Eliyah In the booklet of the former Worldwide Church of God (WCG) entitled “Where are Enoch and Elijah?“, Published by Ambassador College in 1962, under the supervision of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, then General Pastor of the WCG, Dr. Herman Hoeh had said: “The supernatural removal of Elijah was a foreshadowing of the transfer still to come, in a safety place of another man who, shortly before the Day of the Lord, will fulfill the same mission which acquitted the original Elijah (Malachi 4:5-6 ). “ Today, Mr. Armstrong, who was a long time considered to be that man by the WCG, has been dead for over 36 years, before the era of Laodicea and the Lord’s Day; so he has not fulfilled this prophecy about Elijah, because in fact, biblically, he was not the Elijah to come before the Lord’s Day! Mr. Armstrong on the contrary, has fulfilled the prophecies on the spirituals MOSES and ZERUBBABEL, who was called by God to the end time, to revive the Church in Babylon, and to restore the law at the end of Sardis’ era (Zec 4:6-10 ; Mal 4:4 ; Rev 3:1-2). He led the Church of God in the Philadelphia era (Rev 3:7-8), but he did not bring the Church out of Babylon, as Elijah who will come before the Day of the Lord, will do it (Mal 4:5; Joel 2:1; Rev 18:4). Mr. Armstrong did not prepare to the Lord a people, as Elijah to come will do it (Luke 1:17), since there was Apostasy and Dispersion after his death (2 Thess 2:3; Ez 34:5; Matt 26:30)! Mr. Armstrong was therefore the First Blacksmith (Zec 1:20), who is the First Angel or Messenger of Revelation. 14: 6-7; he passed after preaching to the world, in the Philadelphia era (Rev. 3: 8), as testimony, the Gospel of the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth (Matthew 24:14)! Who is Eliyah, the Son of man to come? Birth of Zion Today, it is the Church founded by Christ in the year 31 of our era that constitutes his Spiritual Nation (1 Pet. 2: 9). It is small (Matthew 7: 13-14, 13: 31-32, Luke 12:32) It is made up of scattered and hidden members in the world (Matthew 26:31, Ezekiel 34: 5-6, Matthew 13: 38,44). It must be revealed to the world (Rom 8:19, Luke 17: 30,34-37). It is this sudden release from the shadow (revelation) in one day of the sons of YHWH, now scattered and hidden in the world, which constitutes the birth of the physical kingdom of YHWH, his Nation, called ZION (Is 66: 7-8; Ps 87). NB: The Passover in Egypt, had unleashed events that were ended by the annihilation of Pharaoh and his troops in the waves of the Red Sea. Likewise, the birth of the Physical Nation of GOD, will precipitate the collapse of the present system of this wicked world (Babylon). GOD said, “I will shake the heavens and the earth, I will overturn the throne of the kingdoms, and I will destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. » (Hag 2: 21-22) -« … The Elohim of heaven will raise up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and which will not pass under the dominion of other people; he will break and annihilate all these kingdoms, and he will subsist eternally. (Dan 2:44). Eliyah brings Zion We also know today by the biblical revelation (Jn 14:26, 16:13; Rev. 1: 1; 22:10) that the physical nation of GOD, Zion, that will be born in one day (Luke 17: 30,34-37), will be raised by Elijah, a physical descendant of David (Mal 4: 5-6, Matthew 17:11, 2 Sam 7, Mark 9: 2), who is the son of man (duality), of which Jesus, Jehovah of the Old Testament, alluded to the coming to the time of the end (Ezekiel 2: 1-5, 7: 1-10, Luke 17: 22-37). This son of the man of the end-time generation (Jesus is no longer the Son of man since his resurrection from the dead, He is the Son of YHWH – Rom 1: 3-4), had much to suffer from disease and be rejected (Luke 17:25, Ezekiel 3: 24-27); he had to die before miraculously returning to the physical life in order to arouse the nation of God which will cause Babylon to fall (Job 14:13, Psalm 30: 1-4, 40: 1-4, Luke 17: 24-37)! The Unexpected and Miraculous Arrival of the ‘true’ son of man (Elijah) who brings the Physical Nation of GOD to the world stage(Is 66:7-8 ; Matth 24:44; Luke 21:24-25; 1 Thess 5:2), will be known to all mankind, it will not be hidden, since he will be a well-known man, who reportedly died few years earlier, and who will return to physical life (will resurrect or sprout) where he was buried (Ps 30:1-4; 40:1-4; Zec 6:12); after returning to physical life, he will be surrounded by some people alive, also known, from all continents, and who find themselves instantly and miraculously by his side without the aid of a known means of transport, even the fastest and most sophisticated (Zec 3: 8 ; Dan 2:34,45 ; Jer 3:14 ; Deut 30:4 ; Mark 13:27 ; Luke 17:30,34-37). This amazing event will be relayed by all media worldwide (internet, television, radio, etc …) like lightning from east to west (Isa 45:5-6; Matthew 24:27; Luke 17:24).The whole earth will be astonished to see: “A Revenant surrounded with people who were still a few moments ago, sleeping in their beds, or making their kitchen or working in their field, thousands of kilometers away, according to time zones! » (Luke 17:34-36)! It is this event that Traditional Christianity has always called ‘the Rapture‘ which in reality is the Birth of the Nation of God in a day! (Isaiah 66:7-8): the gathering of physical elect will be done by the Angels (eagles) that will take them where is ‘the Body’, that is to say the son of man who is Eliyah returned to the physical life (Luke 17:30,34-37; De 30:4; Mk 13:27)! In Acts 3:21; it is written black on white that ‘Jesus must remain in heaven until the times of restoration of all things‘. And this restoration of all things will be done by Elijah, the 2nd son of man (Mk 9:2)! The Bible is clear on these two advents that will take place at the end of time: – On the one hand, the Advent of the 2nd son of man who is Elijah the Prophet, will cause and bring about the Physical Kingdom of God, through his Nation Zion, BEFORE, – On the other hand, the Advent of the Son of God, Jesus who will bring about the spiritual Kingdom of God and establishthe Millennial Kingdom on Earth! |
