THE GOSPEL
OF TRUTH AND SALVATION
The
Spiritual And Comprehensive Explanations
Of The Gospel Of Matthew
Book 2
By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze
Chapter 1
"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth
concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in
heaven. 20 For where two or three are
gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:19-20
Explanations:
1.
Whatever agreement any person or group makes must not
contradict the laws of God.
2.
The agreement of decision must not be contrary to the
commandments, for the word of God does not change
3.
The laws of God are part of the His Everlasting Covenant
with man.
Chapter 2
Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
22 Jesus said to him, "I do
not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a
certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts,
one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master
commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and
that payment be made. 26 The servant
therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I
will pay you all.' 27 Then the master of
that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the
debt.
28 "But that servant went out and found one of his
fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and
took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his
feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you
all.' 30 And he would not, but went and
threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had
been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had
been done. 32 Then his master, after he
had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt
because you begged me. 33 Should you not
also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on
you?' 34 And his master was angry, and
delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to
him.
35 "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if
each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his
trespasses." Matthew 18:21-35
Explanations:
1. Forgive and you shall be
forgiven.
2. But, those who refuse to
forgive and forget shall end up inside the hell fire.
3. There is no provision in
heaven for those who bear grudges, who complain often and murmur habitually or
have ill-will towards others.
Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these
sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond
the Jordan. 2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
Matthew 19:1-2
Explanations:
1. Let everybody now follow
the sane Jesus to the city of the rising sun, Abagana.
2. And henceforth, do the
will of God.
Chapter 3
The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying
to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any
reason?"
4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not
read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' 5 and said, 'For this reason a man shall
leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become
one flesh'? 6 So then, they are no longer
two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man
separate." Matthew 19:3-6
Explanations:
1. What God has joined
together, let no man put asunder.
2. And what things God has
kept separate, let no man join together.
3. Do not bring the things
of the kingdom of darkness, like weaveons and attachments, into the house of
God.
4. Parents must give their
children the free hand to live their own married life.
5. do not keep yourself busy
dictating for the a married couple. Allow them to live the way the like.
6. Unfortunately, many
parents, especially mothers-in-law, have spoilt so many good marriages, by
insistence or stubbornness.
Chapter 4
They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to
give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness
of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it
was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever
divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits
adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."
10 His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the
man with his wife, it is better not to marry." Matthew 19:7-10
Explanations:
1. Marriage is concluded the
moment a man and a woman promise or accept to marry each other.
2. Once the marriage is
rites are concluded, divorce is no longer possible, both spiritually and
physically, in the present lifetime.
3. Especially, after the two
have lived together and have had romantic or sexual intimacy.
4. The two are now like two
vessels containing two different liquids and which have been mixed together.
5. Divorce is only possible
after the two have died and reincarnated each in a new body.
6. Spiritually, divorce is
not possible, because on spirit divides into two equal halves.
7. The two halves have a
spiritual bond, an unbreakable cord, a tie or link, joining the two.
8. One problem in the world
is that majority are not marrying their true mates, due to general spiritual
blindness, ignorance and laziness.
9. The purpose of
certificate of divorce is to serve as a confirmation; to serve as evidence to
any other man who may like to marry the woman.
10.
If a woman decides to divorce a man, after marriage, she
may go away empty-handed, except with her personal possessions. But, whoever
divorces a woman must give her due portions of their possessions before
divorce. Do not send a woman away empty-handed. (??? - Confirmation is needed
from the Holy Spirit, concerning this matter.)
Chapter 5
But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying,
but only those to whom it has been given:
12 For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb,
and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who
have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able
to accept it, let him accept it."
Matthew 19:11-12
Explanations:
Marriage does not prevent
people from seeing God. And there is no sacred text or holy book that says that
married people cannot see God. Among those who saw God in the past, majority
were married. They include:
1.
Moses, who had 2
wives
2.
Abraham, who had
3 wives
3.
Isaac, who had 1
wife
4.
Jacob, who had 4
wives
5.
David, who had 7
wives
6.
Solomon, who had
700 wives and 300 concubines
7.
Elders of Israel
who had wives
8.
Enoch who had 1
wife
9.
Noah, who had 1
wife
10.
Peter, who had 1
wife
If
married people cannot see God, then all married people will not go to Heaven.
Also, all the reverend fathers and ministers of God will not go to Heaven,
because they are products of marriage.
Chapter 6
Then little children were brought to Him that He might
put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus
said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of
such is the kingdom of heaven." 15
And He laid His hands on them and departed from there. Matthew 19:13-15
Explanations:
1. Children are role models,
because they easily forgive and forget.
2. They are not like adults
who are fond of quarrelling.
3. Unlike the grown ups,
children do not bear grudges.
…
Chapter 7
Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what
good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?"
17 So He said to him,
"Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But
if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matthew 19:16-17
Explanations:
Only God is righteous,
because only God has and is the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit of
righteousness.
Chapter 8
He said to Him, "Which ones?"
Jesus said, "'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not
commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not bear false
witness,' 19'Honor your father and your
mother,' and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
20 The young man said to Him, "All these things I have
kept from my youth. What do I still lack?"
21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect,
go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, follow Me."
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Matthew 19:18-22
Explanations:
The following are
reasons why it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven:
1.
They are always
thinking of their money and wealth, instead of being God-conscious.
2.
They trust more
in their riches than they trust in God.
3.
They boast of
money and riches, instead of boasting of God.
4.
Most of them
enjoy their wealth without extending the benefits to others around them.
5.
They are always
busy planning about their business engagements. Therefore, they have no time
for God. Cares and worries of everyday life occupy their hearts.
6.
They do not
prepare themselves for spiritual life, which is everlasting.
7.
Many of them do
not believe in the life after. The world is all they care about.
8.
They are usually
selfish.
9.
They use their
positions, possessions, connections and influences to intimidate the poor and
the needy.
10.
Many of them use
charms, cultic powers, which are contrary to the dictates of the Holy Spirit.
11.
In many cases,
what a rich man considers as his money and wealth are the wealth of humanity,
which have been directly or indirectly stolen from the public, by fair or fowl
means.
12.
The more money
and wealth they have, the more connections they make and the harder it becomes
for them to study and practise Spiritual Science.
13.
In spirit, and in
the heavens, money and wealth are irrelevant. Therefore, the lives of the
famous or popular men and women in the world, as in heaven, are just like
wasted years. It is sufficient to have our daily bread.
14.
They do not
prepare themselves for spiritual life in heaven, because they neglect to study
and practise Spiritual Science.
15.
In spirit,
earthly businesses and industries do not exist. Therefore, rich and wealth men
become like a fish thrown out of water, and like a bird whose wings are
clipped.
16.
Etc.
Chapter 9
It Is Hard For A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say
to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of God."
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly
astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With
men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:23-26
Explanations:
1.
It is
easy for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven, if the live in righteousness.
2.
God is God of
riches. Among the richest men of the world, men of God numbered among the best.
For example, Abraham was so wealthy in Canaan that the Canaanites feared him.
The same was true of Isaac. What of King Solomon? He was unsurpassed in wealth.
For a rich man to enter the kingdom, he should:
3.
Extend his wealth
to others around him.
4.
Trust in God, not
in money, wealth, connection or power.
5.
Not allow his
business engagements to prevent him from serving and worshipping God.
6. Where he neglects to do the above things, God will
save him by first removing all riches from him. Then, the person becomes a poor
man, and would have time to think about God and participate in Godly
activities.
Chapter 10
Great Rewards And Benefits
Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have
left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?"
28 So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you,
that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory,
you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who
has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children
or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal
life. Matthew 19:27-29
Explanations:
1. To him who overcomes I
will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My
Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21
2. He who overcomes shall
inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. Revelation
21:7-8
Chapter 11
Why The First Will Be Last, And The Last First
But many who are first will be last, and the last
first. Matthew 19:30
Explanations:
The
following are the why many who are first shall be the last:
1.
Several changes
were made to Christianity, before, during and after the religion was spread to
the world.
You
need to hear God rebuking
about the unauthorized changes.
Your ears will tingle!
Your heart will cringe!
You will melt,
and wish that the earth open and
swallow you up.
2.
God's own calendar
was replaced with Roman calendar. God starts counting the day from evening to
evening, but humanity have chosen to count the day from midnight to midnight.
God counts the year from March/April to February/March, but the world now
counts the year from January to December. So, how can you meet and experience
God when you worship at the wrong times?

The correspondence bears witness of its naturalness and relevance.
In His teachings,
Jesus recognized and approved of Astrology and Astronomy, but not for wicked
purposes. "Then He also said to the multitudes, "Whenever you see
a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming'; and
so it is. 55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, 'There will be hot
weather'; and there is. 56 Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and
of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?" Luke
12:54-56
Archangel Uriel spent a lot of time teaching Enoch about the universe, the
stars and the Zodaic.
Why is it that Christians do not want
to use God's
own calendar?
3.
God's Own Seven
Annual Feasts Were Replaced.
God’s Number For Perfection Is Seven. Hence, seven is the foundation of
many things in life. Seven is one of God's signatures in Creation. Evidences
abound in nature:
1.
The Seven Spirits
of God. (Omniscience)
2.
The seven horns.
(Omnipotence)
3.
The seven eyes of
God. (Omnipresence)
4.
The seven days in a
week.
5.
The seven bands of
Electromagnetic Waves.
6.
The seven rays of
the Visible Light.
7.
The seven colours
of rainbow.
8.
The seven gifts of
the Holy Spirit.
9.
The seven words on
the cross.
10.
The seven
refinements of the word of God.
11.
The seven Frieze
Groups (in Architecture).
12.
The seven
components in man.
13.
The seven spiritual
centers in the human body.
14.
The seven natures
(senses) in man.
15.
The seven falls of
a righteous man.
16.
The seven churches.
17.
The seven lamps.
18.
The seven stars.
19.
The seven trumpets.
20.
The seven elements
of spirit (water, earth, fire, air, ego, mind and intellect).
21.
The seven layers of
computer network.
22.
The seven priests.
23.
The seven bowls.
24.
The seven seals.
25.
The seven cardinal
points (North, South, East, West, Up, Down and Origin).
26.
The seven rounds
about Jericho.
27.
The seven
Arithmetic operators (BODMAS and Exponent [power]).
28.
The seven tunes of
music (d r m f s l t).
29.
The seven basic
shapes (cube, cuboids, sphere, cone, pyramid and torus).
30.
Etc.
Those who wish to celebrate Christmas and Easter are free to do so because
there is freedom of worship. But they should know that God gave Christians
seven annual feasts, which Jesus Himself attended.
Search the records, histories, libraries, Bible, encyclopedias and Internet.
The evidences are clear.
Christmas is a baptized form
of a pagan feast called Saturnalia, introduced in 1038 years after the death of Jesus
Christ. A clear evidence that it is not God’s festival. The Catholic
Encyclopedia, the comprehensive record of everything Catholic, says that Easter is the name of a goddess. What other evidence do you
want? It is like the parable of a stolen dog called ‘Lucky,’ which a man stole
and changed the name to ‘Bingo.’ Then, he went to another town and sold the
dog. The dog remains stolen, and belongs neither to the seller (religious
leaders) nor the buyer (church members). You can now understand why Jesus said,
“Every
tree not planted by my Father shall be uprooted.” The end point of every evil is its own self-destruction. And in doing
so, it also destroys whosoever that serves as its agent. Be Warned!
As the man who has seen the Father, I add, “Whoever
that plants trees that are not from the Father is a hypocrite, a deceiver and
therefore untrustworthy.”

Very important,
juicy and powerful books were removed from the Bible. “The Bible is incomplete,” says the
Almighty. (www.DivineBase.com has provided links to some of the missing books.
To see the list of the books, click Books on the Contents Page, and scroll down.)
2.
Many continue to
erect and venerate (worship) statues and images (idolatry), despite warnings
from God. There is no Saint or Angel who wants you to pray to him/her. Every
Saint or Angel wants you to know and worship God. For making one graven image, so many Israelites were killed in the
wilderness. So, how do you think that you shall be saved by a multitude of
images?
However well people defend the images and statues, all
the images and statues are unnecessary in the sight of God. They are irrelevancies
in the true worship of God in spirit and in truth. And they continue to turn
people away from the true worship of God. What God wants from you is your heart
and attention. Any other thing that occupies your heart and attention is an
idol.
1.
For over 30 years, I
have being in the presence of the Most High God, in spirit and physically.
2.
For over 30 years, I
have seen Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angels and the Saints.
3.
For over 30 years, I
have being working with them, in spirit, in heaven, on earth, in dreams, in
visions and in trances. And not even for one day have God Almighty, Jesus, Holy
Spirit, Angels or Saints, mentioned or used Virgin Mary or images.
All the while I have kept silent.
Now, the Lord Almighty has said to me, “It is time to start speaking. For many
religions are like dead and rotten animal, which must be thrown away.”
And what many call faith is nothing but stubbornness. – The persistent refusal
to do what God has said.
3.
Many churches deny
the works of the Holy Spirit. When God finished in the Old Testament, He handed
over to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. When Jesus finished, He handed over
to the Holy Spirit. But many churches banned the works of Holy Spirit - prophecy,
dream, vision, trance, healing, anointing, tongues, deliverance, etc. If God
had not raised prophets, visioners, ministers, etc, the world would not have
known the meaning and benefits of the works of the Holy Spirit. When a reverend minister of God does not
believe in prophecy, then who is inspiring his teachings?
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are
diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But
the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8
for to one is given the word of wisdom
through the Spirit, to another the word
of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But
one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one
individually as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4.
Many pagan
practices have been introduced into the churches. They include ‘Ịwa ji,’
‘Ọzọ uka,’ chieftancy titles, etc.
2 Thus says the LORD:
"Do
not learn the way of the Gentiles (other nations);
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
Jeremiah
10:2
5.
Spiritual science
and education was abandoned. Indeed, most of our clergy have become Masters at Morality,
but Novices at Spirituality. That is why Spiritual
Science is lacking in both school and church teachings. How can they claim
to be teaching about God when they are ignorant of spiritual realities of life?
6. The church teaches
that God is holy. Yet, the churches do not observe any laws of
holiness.
7.
The catechism
taught to children is a mixture of Truth and Falsehood. For example, the
Ten Commandments children are made to recite is a forged one, different from what God said in the Bible. Read
Matthew 5:17 and Exodus 20
8.
Etc
Heaven
is not a place
that you can dribble with
man-made doctrines.
Chapter 12
By Grace And By Reward
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who
went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers
for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and
saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right
I will give you.' So they went. 5 Again
he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and
found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here
idle all day?' 7 They said to him,
'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and
whatever is right you will receive.'
8 "So when evening had come, the owner of the
vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages,
beginning with the last to the first.' 9
And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received
a denarius. 10 But when the first came,
they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a
denarius. 11 And when they had received
it, they complained against the landowner,
12 saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them
equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.' 13 But he answered one of them and said,
'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a
denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go
your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish
with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?' Matthew 20:1-15
Explanations:
1. Not only by grace.
2. But, much more is by
merit.
"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is
with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:12-13
3. Unfortunately, majority fail to keep the laws
of God, to their own deceit and detriment.
4. For the keeping of the
laws is a compulsory requirement for entrance into the kingdom of heaven.
5. Hence, Jesus said,
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord , Lord ,' shall enter the kingdom
of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord ,
Lord , have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done
many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then
I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice
lawlessness!' Matthew 7:21-23
6. People do the will of God by keeping the
original Ten Commandments of God as in Exodus 20, and by observing the seven
annual festivals of God as written in Leviticus 23, which festivals Jesus
attended.
Chapter 13
Many Are Called, But Few Chosen
For many are called, but few chosen." Matthew 20:16
Explanations:
1. There are so many false
prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers in the midst of humanity.
2. Many are not steadfast in
keeping God’s covenant with man – the original Ten Commandments and the seven
annual festivals.
3. Majority of the
ministers, who have being sent, called to work in the vineyard are not regular
in attendance and participation.
4. What humanity call
religions and churches are nothing but the multiplicity of idolatry.
5. Majority of the humanity
do not listen to or obey the end time messages and warnings from God.
6. People are everyday busy
pursuing and hassling for the things if the world, to the neglect of spiritual
and heavenly life. They fail to prepare for life in spirit.
Chapter 14
The Son Of Man Will Be Betrayed
Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve
disciples aside on the road and said to them, 18 "Behold, we are going up
to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to
the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, 19 and deliver Him to the
Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise
again." Matthew 20:17-19
Explanations:
1. This narrative is
evidence that the death and crucifixion of Jesus did not come to Him as a
surprise or sudden event.
2. He foreknew about His
crucifixion and permitted it for the salvation of all.
Chapter 15
For Those For Whom It Is Prepared By My Father
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her
sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
21 And He said to her, "What do you wish?"
She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine
may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your
kingdom."
22 But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know
what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
They said to Him, "We are able."
23 So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My
cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My
right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it
is prepared by My Father." Matthew
20:20-23
Explanations:
1.
God has a master plan which He follows.
2.
Even the destinies of the righteous have been determined
in heaven, and those of the sinners in hell fire.
3.
Our prayers are not answered when they contradict God’s
plan for our future wellbeing.
Chapter 16
Let The Great Among You Be Your Servant
And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased
with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You
know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great
exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it
shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let
him be your servant. 27 And whoever
desires to be first among you, let him be your slave — 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Matthew 20:24-28
Explanations:
1. Whoever desires to become
great among you, let him be your servant.
2. And whoever desires to be
first among you, let him be your slave.
3. Just as the Son of Man
did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for
many.
4. “In serving others is
your success and prosperity,” says the Almighty.
Chapter 17
His Love And Mercy Abides Forever
Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude
followed Him. 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard
that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord,
Son of David!"
31 Then the multitude warned them that they should be
quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord,
Son of David!"
32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said,
"What do you want Me to do for you?"
33 They said to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be
opened." 34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. Matthew 20:29-34
Explanations:
1. Work like Jesus. He was
not fond of giving so many messages, simply because that is what people want.
2. Ask people what they want
when they come for consultation.
3. And stop all these
uncontrolled prophetic messages, which have misled so many ministers of God
into using devilish powers.
Chapter 18
The Lord Has Need Of Your Services
Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage,
at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them,
"Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey
tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you
shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send
them."
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 "Tell the daughter of Zion,
'Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.'"
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him
on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others
cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the
multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'
Hosanna in the highest!"
10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was
moved, saying, "Who is this?"
11 So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the
prophet from Nazareth of Galilee." Matthew 21:1-11
Explanations:
1. Today, many people and
families cannot obey this type of simple command.
2. There are busy charging
the ministers of God rents and services, and forget to get rich and lasting
blessings by rendering selfless services and acts free of money.
3. Everybody has some duties
to perform in the house of God.
4. Majority neglect these to
their own deceit and detriment, because many of their prayers are not being
answered.
5. Many are interested in
God answering their prayers, but they do not want to contribute to God’s work.
6. Many youths today are
having setbacks and difficulties, because they fail to serve in the house of
God. They do not sweep the compounds, do not carry or set the chairs, do not
fetch water or firewood, and many do not contribute to projects and
funds-raising activities. They come like thieves, to steal blessings of God and
go away.
Preparation For The Feast Of Passover
Chapter 19
A House Of Prayer
Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those
who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money
changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them,
"It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have
made it a 'den of thieves.'" Matthew 21:12-13
Explanations:
1. See the explanations on
how people leave God to serve mammon, the same explanations to Matthew 6:24.
Chapter 20
Beware Of Jealousy And Greed
Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple,
and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying,
"Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant 16 and said to
Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?"
And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read,
'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have perfected praise'?"
17 Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany,
and He lodged there. Matthew 21:14-17
Explanations:
1. The children were doing
the right thing, which is to praise God for His goodness, mercies and wonders.
2. The children were doing
the adults should have done.
3. The children were doing
what the religious and civil leaders should have asked the people to do.
4. The children are easily
pleased with good things of life.
5. They are not prone to
being jealousy and greed.
6. They are happy to praise
and admire what is good and beautiful.
7. They have purity of
hearts.
8. They offer true praise, because there is no
deceit, grudges or malice in them.
Chapter 21
There Is Power In The Tongue
Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was
hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing
on it but leaves, and said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you ever
again." Immediately the fig tree withered away.
And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying,
"How did the fig tree wither away so soon?"
21 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I
say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was
done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be
cast into the sea,' it will be done. 22
And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:18-22
Explanations:
1. Jesus was demonstrating
the power in the word of mouth. There is power in the tongue.
2.
The manifestation may not be immediate.
3. There is power in the
tongue.
4. The word of man comes to
fulfillment, just as the word of God fulfills.
5. You should not go about
cursing the trees, because you have the power. Jesus was demonstrating the
power in man created by God.
Chapter 21
By What Authority
Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By
what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this
authority?"
24 But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will
ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what
authority I do these things: 25 The
baptism of John — where was it from? From heaven or from men?"
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we
say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' 26
But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all count John as a
prophet." 27 So they answered Jesus and said, "We do not know."
And He said to them, "Neither will I tell you by
what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:23-27
Explanations:
1. So many religious leaders
are so spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy that they fail to recognize and
support the saints in the midst of humanity, who have been sent by God to
reform the world.
2. The religious leaders,
out of jealousy and greed, oppose and persecute reformer saints.
3. They are more interested
in lording over the masses than in teaching the world the Truth.
4. That is why things are
getting worse, from day to day.
5. The chief priests and
scribes expected Jesus to take permissions from them. But, it should not be so,
because they were misinterpreting the scriptures and deceiving the souls of
humanity into the hell fire.
6. Besides, Jesus as God
Almighty, does not need to obtain permissions from them, who were created by
Himself.
Chapter 22
Repentance Is Better Than Self-Righteousness
"But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came
to the first and said, 'Son, go, work today in my vineyard.' 29 He answered and said, 'I will not,' but
afterward he regretted it and went. 30
Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I go,
sir,' but he did not go. 31 Which of the
two did the will of his father?"
They said to Him, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that
tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of
righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots
believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe
him. Matthew 21:28-33
Explanations:
1. Many people count on
their self-righteousness to enter the kingdom of heaven. Such people are
deceiving themselves, because entrance into the kingdom is free gift form God
to humanity.
2. Only those who accept the
salvation get it.
3. Today, so many churches
are busy claiming to be the first, and they refuse to hear and obey the end
time messages and warnings from God.
4. Many are busy giving all
kinds of reasons and excuses on why they would not comply with what God said,
which reasons and excuses God consider as “irrelevant excuses”.
Chapter 23
Parable Of The Wicked Tenants
"Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner
who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and
built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far
country. 34 Now when vintage-time drew
near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its
fruit. 35 And the vinedressers took his
servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than
the first, and they did likewise to them.
37 Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect
my son.' 38 But when the vinedressers
saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill
him and seize his inheritance.' 39 So
they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes,
what will he do to those vinedressers?"
41 They said to Him, "He will destroy those wicked
men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to
him the fruits in their seasons." Matthew 21:33-41
Explanations:
1. World leaders, nations
and kingdoms have being fighting against the kingdom of God.
2. Each group wants to
dictate what shall happen in the world.
3. But none of them can
restore the world to its completeness, after the end time disasters and
calamities, as God has done form time tot time.
4. They fail to recognize
the fact that God has a grand plan for the world.
5. They neither follow the
plan nor allow God do what He has set up for the future of the world.
6. Both religious and civil
leaders oppose due reformations inspired by God.
7. And they teem up with the
ignorant masses to persecute and frustrate the true saints of God. This fact
was evident in the life of Jesus and Daniel. Those in positions of authorities
were fighting against the true men of God, when the leaders supposed to be
giving the saints solid support.
Chapter 24
The Rejected Stone Has Become The Chief Cornerstone
Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the
Scriptures:
'The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord's doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes'?
43 "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will
be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be
broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."
45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His
parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them. 46 But when they sought
to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they took Him for a
prophet. Matthew 21:42-46
Explanations:
1. Even so in this end time.
The religious leaders are the very people blocking the gate of heaven, because
they neither teach not practise the Truth, righteousness and holiness.
2. They lacked the humility
that will make them learn from the light-bearers of the Truth.
Chapter 25
Beware Of Reasons And Excuses
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables
and said: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a
marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his
servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not
willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out
other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared
my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come
to the wedding."' 5 But they made
light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his
business. 6 And the rest seized his servants,
treated them spitefully, and killed them.
7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his
armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding
is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many
as you find, invite to the wedding.' 10
So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom
they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with
guests. Matthew 22:1-10
Explanations:
1. Beware of reasons and
excuses in this end time.
2. Verse 7 refers to end
time sweeping operations - But when the
king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed
those murderers, and burned up their city.
3. People do not heed the end time messages and warnings
from God. That is why the warrior angels with merciless swords are now removing
people off the fac
Chapter 26
Where Is Your Wedding Garment?
"But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you
come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind
him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will
be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
14 "For many are called, but few are
chosen." Matthew 22:11-14
Explanations:
4. Where is your white
garment for worship?
5. Only the Sabbatharians
wear the right dress for worship.
6. Introduction
Today, many groups are debating whether the use of white garment is
necessary or not. Some are pleased to wear it, while many others hate it or
condemn the wearing of white garment. Who is right? Who is wrong? How can we
know the truth?
7. God’s Warning
“Warn humanity. For a long time, every church have been doing whatever they
like and claim that they are worshipping me. The fact is that I am neither in
these diverse religions nor in their numerous churches, because they are not
worshipping me the way I want.
“Now is the time of Truth, whoever that wants to worship me must do so in
spirit and in truth, exactly the way I want. That is what it means to do my
will.
“The time of mercy has gone. Some shall be used to set example, for others
to learn wisdom and do the right set of things. I have sent out to the world
Warrior Angels with merciless words, and they have swung into end time sweeping
operations. All the works of humanity shall be razed down by the consuming fire
of my wrath, because they are provocations and disobedience.”
8. It Is Always Compulsory
Check both Old and New Testaments, and you will discover that the use of
white garment is compulsory. Christianity is for both theory and practical.
Unfortunately, many are now hypocrites, because they claim to be Christians
without living as Christians.
God said that the use of white garment is compulsory. That is why several
portions of the bible made clear the relevance. Already, God has said it, and
warned, that any person, who does not wear white garment, should not enter His
temple, church or holy place.
In His anger and warning, God said that it is not every type of white
garment that are allowed. There is a standard white garment for the male and
another standard style for the women. Be warned!
9. White Garment Is The
Glorious Garment
It is the garment of salvation, the robe of righteousness and the mantle of
praise:
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
Isaiah 61:10
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."
Isaiah 61:3
10.
It Is God’s Mode Of Dressing
Some people have asked, “How does God dress like?”
God Almighty wears white garment. The whiteness is sparkling white, and
yet, comfortable to look at. But, when God transfigures into His higher
dimension, the white become so radiant and sparkling that you cannot look at
Him. That is why some people cover their eyes, when they appear in the presence
of the God Almighty. Even Angels do cover their face because of the brightness
of God. The brightness means that God’s dress is made of light, pure white
light. White garment is God’s favourite dress.
Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
Psalms 104:2
In the vision of the Ancient of Days, Daniel saw God wearing white garment
"I watched till thrones were put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
Daniel 7:9,10
11.
Jesus Was In The Habit Of Wearing Garment
The use of garment was very common during the time of
Jesus
That is why the pictures of Jesus show Him wearing white garments only. His
garments are indeed glorious in appearance.
The woman of issue of blood was healed when she touched the garment of
Jesus.
And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from
behind and touched the hem of His garment.
For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be
made well." Matthew 9:20,21
Likewise, as many as touched the hem of His garment were healed.
Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the
sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of
His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well. Mark 6:56
In the book of revelation, Jesus was wearing garment.
and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed
with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
Revelation 1:13
12.
It Is The Wedding Garment
The kingdom of heaven is for those who wear white garment only.
"But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who
did not have on a wedding garment.
So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding
garment?' And he was speechless.
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away,
and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.'
"For many are called, but few are chosen."
Matthew 22:11-14
Check the last statement above, and you discover that what the bible said
what is actually happening today. Only very few people, white garment churches,
wear white garment for worship.
13.
It Is The Garment Of Consolation, The Comfort Of The Holy
Spirit
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who
had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and
true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the
earth?" 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to
them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of
their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was
completed. Revelation 6:9-11
14.
It Is The Heavenly Mode Of Dressing
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one
could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the
throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in
their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation
belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 All the
angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures,
and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honour and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen."
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed
in white robes, and where did they come from?"
And I said to him, "Sir, you know."
So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great
tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and
night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 16
They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike
them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will
shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:9-17
15.
That Is How Angels And Saints Dress In Heaven
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a
name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe
dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in
heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the
nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His
robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 19:11-16
16.
It Is Very Common In The Old Testament:
It was the everyday dress of the Israelites.
17.
It Was So Important That You Are Not Allowed To Seize It.
If you ever take your neighbour's garment as a pledge, you shall return it
to him before the sun goes down. 27 For that is his only covering, it is his
garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries
to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.
Exodus 22:26
18.
It Is Compulsory For The Ministers Of God, Both Male And
Female
And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he
shall put on his body, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the
fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
Leviticus 6:10
19.
It Must Be Kept Holy
Purify every garment, everything made of leather, everything woven of
goats' hair, and everything made of wood."
Numbers 31:20
And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed
with water, and be unclean until evening. NKJV
Leviticus 15:17
20.
Spiritually, Wearing Plain Clothes Is Far Better Than
Wearing Multiple Colours.
You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen
mixed together. Deuteronomy 22:11
'You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with
another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment
of mixed linen and wool come upon you.
Leviticus 19:19
21.
It Is Your Duty To Recover Garments Lost By Others
You shall do the same with his donkey, and so shall you do with his
garment; with any lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost and you have
found, you shall do likewise; you must not hide yourself.
Deuteronomy 22:3
22.
The Garment For The Male Is Quite Different Form The
Garment For The Female
A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put
on a woman's garment (long gowns and long skirt), for all who do so are an
abomination to the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 22:5
23.
You Are Not Allowed To Seize It.
You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, nor take
a widow's garment as a pledge. Deuteronomy 24:17
You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes
down, that he may sleep in his own garment and bless you; and it shall be
righteousness to you before the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 24:13
24.
Do Not Use Stolen
Garment In Prayers And Worship
When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred
shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them
and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent,
with the silver under it." Joshua 7:21
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the
silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his
donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the
Valley of Achor. Joshua 7:24
God does not want stolen items in his house. Do not use such for offering,
sacrifice, donation, pledge or gift. Today, so many ministers of od are
accepting offerings without inspection and without inquiry.
So they answered, "We will gladly give them." And they spread out
a garment, and each man threw into it the earrings from his plunder. Judges
8:25

Long Gowns And Long Skirts Are Girls And Ladies Ready For
Marriage.
26.
Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your
best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known
to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. Ruth 3:3
27.
Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of
Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had
clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field. 30
Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into
twelve pieces. 1 Kings 11:29,30
28.
It Is The Popular Dress Of Great Men.
So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue
and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple;
and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. Esther 8:15
Then each man hastened to take his garment and put it under him on the top
of the steps; and they blew trumpets, saying, "Jehu is king!"
2 Kings 9:13
And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut
down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes
who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'
Hosanna in the highest!"
And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying,
"Who is this?"
So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of
Galilee."
Matthew 21:8-11
29.
Very Common In The Old And New Testaments
30.
The blind
beggar was wearing garment.
Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and
a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road
begging.
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and
say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of
David, have mercy on me!"
So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.
Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer.
Rise, He is calling you."
And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.
Mark 10:46-50
31.
It Was So Precious That The Sale Yielded Money
Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take
it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment
and buy one. Luke 22:36
32.
Peter Was Wearing Garment On The Day Jesus Walked On Sea
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the
Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his
outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. John 21:7
33.
While Inside The Prison, Peter Was Wearing Garment
Then the angel said to
him, "Gird yourself and tie on your sandals"; and so he did. And he
said
Chapter 27
Render Therefore To Caesar The Things That Are Caesar's
Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle
Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in
truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.
17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar,
or not?"
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said,
"Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?
19 Show Me the tax money."
So they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription
is this?"
21 They said to Him, "Caesar's."
And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the
things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." 22 When they had heard these words, they
marveled, and left Him and went their way. Matthew 22:15-22
Explanations:
1. In every situation, do
the right thing.
2. It does not mean to
worship God and to worship idol.
3. It does not mean that
when you see bad people doing evil, you join them.
4. Do not join both holy and
unholy things together.
5. Separate the clean things
from the unclean things.
6. Keep the things of God
separate from personal or public properties.
7. Do not give what belongs
to God to idols, and do not bring properties of idols into the house of God.
8.
As far as worship is concerned, worship God by doing His
will, and not by learning from the nations.
Chapter 28
Reincarnation Is True
The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no
resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: "Teacher, Moses said
that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and
raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers.
The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to
his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.
27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose
wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her."
29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are
mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry
nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the
dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the
living." 33 And when the multitudes
heard this, they were astonished at His teaching. Matthew 22:23-33
Explanations:
1. Man is spirit. He does
not die.
2. Birth is not the
beginning of life, and death is not the end of life.
3. Death is like a door. It
is neither good nor bad. But, it leads from one plane of existence to another.
In the house, nobody mourns because somebody passes from one room into another
through the door.
4. The earth is God’s own
school. You enter it by birth, leave it at death and come back to it through
reincarnation.
5.
Chapter 29
The Great Commandment
But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the
Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a
question, testing Him, and saying, 36 "Teacher, which is the great
commandment in the law?"
37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great
commandment. 39 And the second is like
it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 22:34-40
Explanations:
Righteousness
means the following:
1.
The character of
God, whether written or not.
2.
The behaviour of
God.
3.
The habit of God.
4.
The way God does
things.
To
love God means to live a righteous life. That means to follow the paths of righteousness, which
include:
1.
To do the will of
God.
2.
To follow the
footsteps of God.
3.
To keep the
original ten commandments as in Exodus 20.
4.
To observe the
seven annual festivals of God , as written in Leviticus 23, which festivals
Jesus attended.
5.
To remain
steadfast in the way of the Truth, the way of salvation, the Sabbath way of life
ands worship.
6.
To live a life of
Truth, righteousness and holiness.
7.
To live a holy
life, by accepting whatever that God accepts, and by rejecting whatever that
God rejects.
8.
To obey the word of
God in every aspect of your life: education, business, politics, governments,
tourism, etc. many people fail to live up to this expectation.
9.
To obey the
guidance, directives and leading of the Holy Spirit.
10.
To love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your mind means to live a righteous life always and
everywhere.
Chapter 30
Jesus Is Lord
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked
them, 42 saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is
He?"
They said to Him, "The Son of David."
43 He said to them, "How then does David in the
Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying:
44'The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"'?
45 If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his
Son?" 46 And no one was able to
answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
Matthew 22:41-46
Explanations:
1. God Almighty manifests
Himself in three supreme personalities:
2. God the Almighty Father,
God the Almighty Love (Jesus Christ) and God the Almighty Presence (Holy
Spirit).
3. That is why Jesus is
Lord, just as God Almighty is Lord. It is God Almighty that is Jesus Christ.
4. The same God in triple
form; just as fire is heat, flame and light at the same time.
Chapter 31
Religious Leaders Are Hypocrites
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,
2 saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you to observe,
that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and
do not do. Matthew 23:1-3
Explanations:
1.
Jesus is saying
that Old Testament teachings are still relevant.
2.
Many religious
leaders carry the bible about, read it and teach it, but do not practise what
the teachings and commandments written in it.
3.
Instead, they are
teaching and practising man-made laws and doctrines and routines, just as so
many churches are doing today.
4.
Thereby, they
make themselves hypocrites.
5.
For example,
people and churches say that God is unchangeable. Yet, they refuse to keep the
laws of God, which laws God said are everlasting.
Chapter 32
Ignorant Religious Leaders Bind Heavy Burdens On People
For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on
men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their
fingers. Matthew 23:4
Explanations:
1. They do not know the
Truth, which sets free.
2. They are not teaching
people the Truth.
3. They are busy teaching
the false imaginations of their hearts.
4. They formulate man-made
laws and doctrines, which are lies and fabrications.
5. They hold sway over
multitudes, while people are everyday busy eating with the swine (evil spirits,
demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches, idols, charms and black energies).
6. The lay the burden of
lengthy prayers on people, like the rosaries, novenas and all kinds of
religious pieties, which lead to wasted years, because God is not pleased with
man-made laws and doctrines.
7. By teaching what is
false, the religious leaders keep people under bondage and in captivity.
8. Today, so many families
are suffering because their religious leaders told them not to do family
deliverance and spiritual works.
Chapter 33
Ignorant Noisemakers And Hypocrites
But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make
their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. 6 They love the best places at feasts, the
best seats in the synagogues, 7
greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' Matthew 23:5-7
Explanations:
1.
Majority of the
religious leaders are spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy.
2.
They love to hold
sway over the masses, lording it over others.
3.
They love to be
praised by others.
4.
They announce
their names and titles in public places and occasions.
Chapter 34
The Teacher Of The Truth
But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your
Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.
9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He
who is in heaven. 10 And do not be
called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. Matthew 23:8-10
Explanations:
1.
Only three persons can teach the Truth. They are:
2.
One who comes from heaven.
3.
The person who has visited heaven.
4.
And the person who is being taught and guided by the Holy
Spirit.
5. Do you now understand why
reverend fathers are hypocrites? They were asked not to call anybody ‘father’.
Instead of doing what they were told, they set about ordaining people reverend
fathers. That is why the Catholic Church is doing the works of the antichrist,
because they are busy everyday teaching and practising false beliefs, wrong
practices and man-made doctrines.
6. The only true Father we
have is God Almighty, who is everlasting. He is the source of all creations. Therefore,
He is the Fountain of Life, the beginning and the end.
7. Our earthly fathers and
mothers are just acting moonlight plays here on earth, which is like a stage.
Chapter 35
The Greatest
But he who is greatest among you shall be your
servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself
will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:11,12
Explanations:
1.
In serving others
is your success and prosperity.
2.
All honours and
prestige and possessions are useless, if they are used for selfish purposes
only and do not benefit others.
3.
The height of
greatness is humility.
Chapter 36
Hypocrites, indeed
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in
yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Matthew 23:13
Explanations:
First, they prevent you from seeking for the Truth.
Then, they convince you that their church is the best.
And finally, you become an ordinary member,
who is standing still without
knowing it.
That is why so many today regret their retirement,
because their religious leaders
made them
ordinary members of the church.
Only for them to discover late in life
that they were destined to
be ministers of God.
You were sent to the world,
to gain spiritual knowledge and wisdom.
Whoever finds the two, finds God and Life.
But, whoever that does not seek them is already lost.
Indeed, many are already lost without knowing it.
Only Truth, not religion or church, can set you free.
Many ministers of God are working against the Holy Spirit by preventing people
from seeking and knowing the Truth. Do not allow anybody to prevent you from
seeking and knowing the Truth about God and life. The reverend ministers hinder
people in the following ways:
1. The religions and
churches supposed to lead people to the Truth. Instead of doing this, the
religious leaders hold people captives by making people ordinary members of the
church. Once that is done, people feel satisfied to be registered members,
without further seeking to find and know the Truth. Truth is quite different
from religions and churches. Truth is completely spiritual, while religions and
churches are man-made and therefore, often contradictory and misleading. No one
ever finds the Truth by shying away from it.
Every minister of God not trained in Spiritual Science
is like a thief stealing from the vineyard of God.
And all the souls stolen by them end up in the hell fire.
2. Most of the
religious leaders are more interested in increasing membership than in
developing the spiritual abilities of the members. That is why in many
churches, individual gifted with vision, dream, healing, tongues, deliverance,
astral travel, etc remain dormant like dead and useless woods. Many retired
personal are now having all kinds of sickness or regretting wasted years
because they found out too late that they were destined to be ministers of God.
3.
By threatening members who leave their churches with
death. They tell the members that the members shall die, if they leave the
church.
4.
By criticizing and condemning other churches,
especially those churches that teach the Truth.
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither
go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Matthew
23:13-14
5.
By selecting bible portions for church reading and by
restricting the members to the select portions, thereby preventing people from
reading other portions of the bible. The Catholic Church is good at doing this,
by the use of Sunday bulletin. That is why so many catholic members do n ot
read their bible, and they do not know that so many of their beliefs and
practices were forged by roman pagans, even without reading the bible. And that
is why, in spirit, Catholic Church is among the worst churches.
6.
By narrowing down their teachings to their personal
opinions and collective decisions made (forged) at meetings, councils, synods
and conferences.
7.
By hiding very important spiritual books from public
knowledge.
"Woe to you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one
proselyte (member), and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of
hell as yourselves. Matthew 23:15
8. Often, religious
leaders introduce their personal opinions and collective decisions made
(forged) at meetings, councils, synods and conferences. Then, they teach the
opinions and decisions as if they were commandments of God. Therefore, people
follow man-made doctrines and routines without knowing that they are working
against God. That was why Jesus warned His disciples to beware of the leaven (false
teachings) of the Pharisees (religious leaders).
Now when
His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6
Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and the Sadducees."
7 And
they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have taken no
bread."
8 But
Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "O you of little faith, why do you
reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread? 9 Do you not yet understand, or remember the
five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? 10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand
and how many large baskets you took up?
11 How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you
concerning bread? — but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
Sadducees." 12 Then they understood that He did
not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the (false) doctrine of
the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16:5-12
"These people
draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
Matthew
15:8-9
9. The religious
leaders insist that the members must worship in select places specified by the
religious leaders. They encourage people to do the same by awarding titles
members for going on pilgrimage. You should know that going on pilgrimage only
increases your knowledge. It does not add to your merit in spirit. In heaven,
it does not matter whether you go on pilgrimage or not. That means that going
on pilgrimage without keeping the commandments of God in the scriptures is of
no use. People neglect what Jesus said.
Jesus
said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on
this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know
what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will
worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to
worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those
who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:21-24
10.
It is spiritually far better to use the funds and
resources spent on pilgrimage in caring for the poor and less privileged
members of the society. Going on pilgrimage does not make a person righteous in
the presence of God, for there many natives living in the holy lands that are
sinners. If the natives are not saints, how do you think that you can become a
saint just by paying a visit? Today, people see pilgrimage as if it were a
ticket for entry into the kingdom of God.
11.
They do not teach church members those portions of
holy book that emphasize spiritual freedom. Thereby, people become spiritually
indolent (lazy) and complacent (falsely satisfied).
Below
are examples:
a.
God wants people to worship Him in spirit
and in truth. On the contrary, the ministers insist that members do things only
as specified by the churches, without teaching Spiritual Science in the schools
and churches. They invite you to the mountains, valleys, wilderness, riversides
and monasteries, whereas the Master they are seeking for is inside the town
waiting for them.
b.
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you
hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So
is everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8
c.
A very good example was what happened
between King David and Prophet Nathan. If God had not intervened, David would
have committed more sin by building the house of God with blood-stained hands:
Now it came
to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the Lord had given him
rest from all his enemies all around, 2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a
house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains."
3 Then
Nathan said to the king, "Go, do
all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you."
4 But it
happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5
"Go and tell My servant David, 'Thus says the Lord: “Would you build a house for Me
to dwell in? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought
the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in
a tent and in a tabernacle. 7 Wherever I have moved about with all the children
of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom
I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built Me a
house of cedar?'"' 8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant
David, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you from the sheepfold, from
following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. 9 And I have been
with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before
you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on
the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will
plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor
shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 since the
time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you
to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord tells you that He will make you a
house.
"When
your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed
after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13
He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his
kingdom forever. 14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My
son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with
the blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I
took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And your house and your
kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established
forever."'"
2 Samuel 7:1-16
12.
Majority of the religious leaders do not inform their
members of the end time warnings and messages from Jesus Christ. Rather, they
condemn the messages and hide them from their members. How can a reverend
minister claim to be working for God, when he is refusing the everyday
directives of the Holy Spirit? How can ministers of God fight the end time
battle without receiving directives and revelations from the throne of God?
Equally disappointing is the fact that many religious leaders do not know how
to fight them end time battle.
13.
They hide very important, juicy and powerful books
from the public. That is why I do ask, “What do religious leaders gain by
leading ignorant multitudes?” Surely, nothing!
14.
By banning the reading of the Bible and spiritual
books, contrary to God’s command. It was of recent that people started reading
Bible on their own in obedience to what God said:
"And
these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach
them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your
house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You
shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between
your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your
gates.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
15.
Many religious leaders and ministers are using
devilish powers, cultic means, marine power, etc, without the general public
knowing what is happening behind the scenes.
16.
They serve as facilitators to the works of the evil
spirits, by denying prophecy, dream, vision, trance, tongues, healing,
deliverance, spiritual works, which are the works of the Holy Spirit. You
should know that to worship God without prophecy is nothing but hypocrisy.
17.
Today, many people are possessed by the demons without
knowing it. The bad conditions of those who have not gone for deliverance is
even worse than that of those being delivered on the television screens or at
the crusades. Yet, such people parade themselves about as if they are normal.
18.
Generally, people accept that God’s a supernatural.
But, when God manifests in supernatural ways, they refuse to believe or accept
the works of God. Many who claim to be
faithful, are faithless, indeed. And what many call faith is nothing
stubbornness – the persistent refusal to do what God has said.
19.
When their members die, they tell other members that
those who passed away died in faith, whereas those people died in disobedience
to God. They are disobedient because they fail to keep the original Ten
Commandments of God as in Exodus 20 and fail to observe the seven annual
festivals of God, as written in Leviticus 23, which festivals Jesus attended.
20.
There are so many idols and shrines in the society.
All the important places have been dedicated to idols and shrines. They include
markets, roads, rivers and streams, village centers, lands, buildings and
compounds. Many religious leaders commit abominations by building
churches on graves, in the cemetery or inside shrines, and still tell the
members that it doesn’t matter.
21.
It was because of wide spread idolatry that God told
Abraham to leave his father’s land and go and dwell in the land of Canaan.
Abraham’s father was marketing (selling) idols (statutes and images). It was
his intention to follow Abraham into the land of Canaan, but God allowed him to
die on the road, so that he would not introduce idolatry into the land of
Canaan, the Promised Land. Today, Christians frequent shrines, buy and sell in
markets dedicated to idols, cultivate farms infested by demons, step on pagan
rituals on the road side, live or work in buildings dedicated to cultic powers
of darkness, and still claim to be true children of God. They are only busy deceiving
themselves. The worst is that even religious leaders oppose family deliverance
and spiritual works. How can a religious leader claim to be working for God,
when he is camouflaging, encouraging and defending the continued existence of
pagan curses and abomination? When he supposed to be the one telling people to
go for personal and family deliverances?
22.
They keep on
holding members captives even when the time has expired for a person to be in
their midst. Just as a student moves from one class level to a higher class
level, people should move from one spiritual level to a higher one. But, when
the members move to other places as the Holy Spirit directs them, the religious
leaders condemn or criticize the out-going members. The right thing a minister of God should do
is to welcome the people that come to him. And when they leave him, the best
thing he should do is to bless them and hand them over to the Holy Spirit, who
is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent.
Out of spiritual
blindness and out of jealous, the ministers are struggling for increased
membership. They fail to understand that members belong neither to the church
nor to the religious leaders. All church members belong to the true church of
God, which is the Holy Spirit, and it is a sin punishable in hell fire for a
person to claim what does not belong to him.
23.
Many of them are busy opposing family deliverance and
spiritual works, as directed by God Almighty. That is why God, in His wrath,
said such reverend minsters shall start dying at the altars.
24.
They prevent the sick from going to those spiritually
talented to heal them.
25.
They prevent those in bondage from going to those who
can deliver them.
26.
They prevent people from going to spiritual churches
and ministries, even when the religious leaders cannot explain spiritual
statements in the holy books, and cannot solve the spiritual problems of the
masses.
27.
Out of jealousy and rivalry, the ministers criticize
and condemn those who are gifted with prophecy, healing, deliverance, miracle,
tongues, etc.
28.
Most of the ministers, who cannot perform, hinder
people from going to those who can solve the member’s problems.
It is
time for members to ask their ministers,
“Is your
God different from the God of the prophets?
And is
He separate from the God of miracle workers?’’
29.
How come that every
religion regards their holy book as the best and final book about God and life,
whereas the holy books are just introductions to life in spirit and in truth? For
example, after over thirty (30) years of teachings, Jesus had turned to His
disciples, saying,
"I still have many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them now. 13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all
truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He
will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” John 16:12-14
If after thirty (30) years, the Master still has many
things to teach the world, how come that religious leaders do not know that
religion was meant to grow and develop like the Sciences and the Arts? That
means that the religions and their leaders have kept humanity standing still
for so many years and centuries. This is not a good score card. The result is
that “Man has developed all things, but has failed to develop himself. He boasts of
Computer Science, Physical Science, Chemical Science, Social Science, Political
Science, etc, but has neglected the most important one, which is Spiritual
Science.”
Prophet Isaiah said it clearly,
"Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for what is not
bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is
good,
And let your soul delight itself in
abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant
with you —
The sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as a witness
to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
5 Surely you shall call a nation you do
not know,
And nations who do not know you shall
run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you."
Isaiah 55:1-5
30.
Every religion regards their religious leaders only as
the ministers of God. As such, the Catholics regard the reverend fathers as
true ministers of God. The Anglicans regard their teachers, deacons, deans and
archbishop as the true ministers of God. The Pentecostals honour their pastors,
superintendents, bishops and overseers as the true ministers of God. In the
same vein, the Buddhists regard their monks only as the true saints, just as
the Moslems pay attention only to their Imans. Likewise, the Hinduists and
respective members of other religions. The parallel behaviour shows that most
of the religions are simply man-made.
How does God
regards His ministers? Those God regards as His ministers are those God sent
down to the world, from heaven, whether the person is ordained or not,
recognized by the world or not, acceptable to other religions that are not the
person’s religion or not. Let the world learn from this simple fact.
31.
Also, it shows that religious leaders, out of
jealousy, influence their members not to listen to others who know the Truth.
In fact, the religious leaders are more interested in increasing their
membership, than in enabling humanity seek, find and know the Truth about God
and life. They fail to learn from the life of the three wise men, who left
their country, culture, language and religion to seek, find and worship God,
when God came to the world in the form of baby Jesus.
Again, they are not
humble enough like John the Baptist, who said that Jesus would continue to
increase, while himself shall continue to diminish. The fact unknown to the
world was that John the Baptist, in denying himself, quickly attained God, and
Jesus said that of all born of woman, none is greater than John the Baptist.
The greatness the world is seeking is not in high places, but in humility.
32.
How come that all these religions are each teaching a
different things, when they supposed to be teaching the same thing, just as the
Science is the same all over the world. A clear evidence that the religions and
their churches do not know the Truth. For if they had known the Truth, they
would have been teaching the same thing.
No wonder Jesus
said that many before Him were thieves, because those religious leaders were
teaching what they do not know and thereby misleading innocent souls into the
hell fire. And I add that not only those before Him, but also many during and
after Him are thieves, indeed.
33.
The teachings of the religions and churches are often
contradictory, when they supposed to be confirming each other. Another clear
evidence that most of the religious leaders do not know the Truth.
34.
How come that the every religion or church is busy
each claiming to be the best, when majority of the dead have not attained heaven?
When the percentage of the world that have attained sainthood is less than 20%?
When hell is enlarging its mouth (boundaries)? When God is about to strike the
world with third world war and catastrophe, because of the sins and iniquities
of humanity?
35.
By hypocrisy, for many reverend ministers are busy
teaching and practicing what their headquarters told them, without knowing that
what they are teaching are man-made doctrines:
Then
Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: "The scribes
and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you to
observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they
say, and do not do. Matthew 23:1-4
36.
They teach people only those portions of the scriptures
that keep the people ignorant of their rights and privileges. For example, the
pastors always collect tithes from the congregation. They spend all these
tithes without giving portions to the members. This continues because the
members do not even know that they are entitled to receive some portions of the
tithes.
37.
Majority of the ministers did not study Spiritual
Science. Therefore, they cannot teach and explain spiritual statements in the
holy books. They are spiritually dead, unenlightened and inexperienced.
Instead, they use human understanding and ordinary logic to interpret spiritual
statements which have very deep meanings. The result is that the ministers keep
the members standing still without the members knowing it.
38.
There is jealousy among the ministers. Therefore, they
often compete among themselves by a silent cold war, that is evident to those
who are observant, instead of co-operating with one another. By the jealousy
and competition, they discourage the members form going to the minister who is
spiritually empowered to teach people the Truth.
39.
They tell people lies. For example, they tell people
that the scriptures are not easily understood by the ordinary man. The effect
is that today most of the people do not study the holy books and do not know
that they are being misled into the hell fire. Despite the multiplicity of
religions, churches, temples, holy places and pilgrimages, majority of the dead
are not entering the kingdom of heaven. Majority of
people all over the world do not know that the Ten Commandments being taught in
their catechism or Sunday school is a forged one, different from the Original Ten Commandments given by God.
(Refer to Exodus chapter 20).
40.
Because the religious leaders are not spiritually
developed, they cannot identify master souls, who come in the midst of
humanity, to help guide mankind out of darkness (ignorance). Rather, they are
quick to threaten and discourage people from visiting such master souls to gain
knowledge and salvation. Currently, many churches are opposing reformation
directed by the Holy Spirit, because the religious leaders are spiritually
blind.
41.
Many religious leaders are busy hindering the work of
God by making laws and issuing directives that prevent people from knowing the
Truth. They hinder healing and deliverance from God. For example, some
ministers direct hospitals not to allow pastors to pray, minister, heal or
deliver the patients from their sicknesses and problems. That is discrimination
and hindrance to the good works of the Holy Spirit. How can the religious
leaders ban fellow ministers from performing, when themselves cannot do the
work? When they do not know who is the right minister empowered to minister to
the masses?
Humanity
were sent to the world to rid themselves of rivalry.
Instead
of doing this simple thing,
they have become intoxicated with jealousy.
All
the warlords and intimidators should prepare themselves
to face the wrath of God,
for struggling over what does not belong to
any of them.
42.
The religious leaders do not know the
end time holy land, which God has specified for the world. They are not
interested in the new holy land, and they are not directing their members to
the new holy land – Abagana – the city of the rising sun.
43.
No efforts are being made to publish and
spread the missing books of the bible. And the general public do not know that
the number of books removed from the bible is far greater than the number
already published.
44.
Etc.
Conclusion
Your everlasting fate (Salvation or Doom) is not
something to play with. Such an important matter should not be carelessly
entrusted into the hands of ignorant leaders. Be warned!
Chapter 37
Extortions
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour
widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will
receive greater condemnation. Matthew
23:14
Explanations:
1. Many pastors and reverend
fathers are always asking for offerings, tithes and sowing of seeds.
2. Engages in prayers and
ministrations, just to get money from people .
Chapter 38
Beware Of The Demonization Of Souls
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him
twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
Matthew 23:15
Explanations:
Introduction
Jesus said it clearly, and warned
the world against soul-demonization. Yet, many do not understand what He meant,
while others neglect His very important teachings and messages.
13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees (religious leaders), hypocrites!
For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in
yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Matthew 23:13-15
15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees (religious leaders), hypocrites! For
you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him
twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. Matthew 23:15
How Churches Are Now Prisons
A good farmer first clears the
ground, by cutting, drying, burning and plowing, before he sows the seeds and
plants the stems. Then, he tends the plant by applying manure and removing
weeds. At the harvest time, he goes with joy and vessels to the farm, to reap
what good fruits he had sown.
Likewise, students belong to
different schools and study for many years under different teachers. But once
final examination comes, every student strives to pass whatever examination the
central examination body would set for them.
Again, when people to travel
on board a plane to a far away country, first they move, individually or collectively,
to the airport. Each person or group leaves behind their vehicles to board the
one plane that will take them to their destination.
How come that each time the
Holy Spirit speaks, the Christians refuse to obey His voice. All you hear from
the Christians, according to their various sects, is:
“That is not how our church
worships.”
“Our church does not believe
that.”
“It is against my faith.”
“My reverend father said I
should not do it.”
“My pastor said, ‘No’.”
And so it happens that
majority refuse to do what God says. They are busy everyday following the false
imaginations of their hearts, to the neglect of the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. They easily forget the warning of Jesus,
3 He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the
commandment of God because of your tradition? Matthew 15:3-4
The conclusions today are that
churches are not producing saints, who can recognize and respond to the Holy
Spirit. Rather, they are making people demons, who relentlessly refuse to obey
the Holy Spirit. The result is soul-demonization by the religious leaders, to
the extent that most of the dead have not attained leaven. Instead, so many
souls have been lost to the hell fire. Still, both religious leaders and the
general public do not know the ugly situation in spirit. Mankind have become
like a series of ants, which are steadily coming out of a hole, without knowing
that a predator is by the hole side eating them up one by one.
The Dangerous Effects Of Soul-Demonization
The bad result is that today,
churches are turning their members into demons, without people knowing what is
happening. And what many call faith is nothing but stubbornness - The persistent
refusal to do what God has said.
Below are facts which show
that churches are turning people into demons without people know what is
happening:
1.
Jesus says that
when the members come into the churches, they pretend to be saints before the
religious leaders, who are spiritually blind. But once the members leave the
church, they throw away the right teachings and turn themselves into demons and
wolves, which hate and oppose everything of God.
2.
Church members
are not humble enough to receive corrections. Instead, they prefer praises from
those who encourage them in wrong path.
3.
When you tell
people something, they would refuse to hear or learn the truth in what is being
said. Rather, they hold on to the false teachings of their diverse churches,
ministries and fellowship.
4.
People are always
going to the house of God for what God would do for them. They come like
thieves looking for blessings to steal and run away. Only very few seek for the
Truth, for God’s sake and for the sake of His kingdom.
5.
Moral decadence
and general lawlessness are very common in the society. Everybody does things
in whichever way he likes, without minding the consequences.
6.
General
disobediences to the word of God. The primary aim of all religions and churches
is to teach people the word of God. But today, many religious leaders are
rather teaching their personal opinions and collective decisions made at
meetings, councils, synods and conferences. Many members follow suit without
knowing that the leaders have deviated from what God has said.
7.
Heedlessness to
the end time warnings and messages of Jesus Christ. A general survey of
Christian life shows that people hear the word of God and receive it, but many
do not live it. Many are playing hypocrites, even without knowing it. Even
those who promise or give assurances fail to live up to expectations. No wonder
Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many
will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,
cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then
I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice
lawlessness!' Matthew 7:21-23
8.
Hatred of people
of other religions. Hatred is a sin and it is demonic in origin and character.
A true saint doses not hate. He may not like something, but he does not hate
it, for hatred is a deadly poison that destroys the hater. You should live your
life with goodwill unto all humanity.
9.
People are
dangerously proud. Consider the members of various churches, ministries and
fellowship, and see how they pride themselves about as the best, as the people
of God, and regard members of other churches as sinners.
10.
Neglect of holiness,
even by religious leaders.
11.
Many are
practicing what they do not know. Ask the believers the meaning of Truth,
Righteousness and Holiness, which are the three keys to the gate of heaven.
They are happy and bold enough to explain them in details, each according to
his religious beliefs and practices. Then, examine what they say in spirit, and
you discover that most of them are saying nonsense. Nobody can enter the
kingdom of God just by claiming it, but by doing the will of God in spirit and
in truth, and by righteousness and holiness.
12.
Worldly fashion
and trends. People are expected to avoid every form of worldliness, in other to
attain heaven. Nowadays, people are rather following every form of worldliness,
even with intoxication, to the neglect of heavenly kingdom. Many readily and
happily say that Christianity is fashionable. Indeed, they are deceiving
themselves, for Christianity is not fashionable. Rather, it is saintly.
How come that the churches
and ministers
are now breeding sons of disobedience
and daughters of iniquities?
Blessed are those who enter the kingdom before the gate is locked.
But woe to those who are excluded because they exclude themselves.
1. So many religious leaders
are false prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers.
2. Therefore their churches
are teaching the false imaginations of ignorant religious leaders, which are
the figments of imaginations, the fabrications of falsehood and the deceptions
of the enemy.
Chapter 39
Do Not Swear At All
"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears
by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he
is obliged to perform it.' 17 Fools and
blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18 And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is
nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform
it.' 19 Fools and blind! For which is
greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who swears by the altar,
swears by it and by all things on it. 21
He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the
throne of God and by Him who sits on it. Matthew 23:16-22
Explanations:
Chapter 40
Blind Guides
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier
matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done,
without leaving the others undone. 24
Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! Matthew 23:23
Explanations:
Chapter 41
Deceptive Ministers
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of
extortion and self-indulgence. 26 Blind
Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of
them may be clean also. Matthew 23:25,26
Explanations:
1. They are busy teaching
lies and fabrications, leaving the people to continue in ignorance of the
Truth.
2. They say that God is
holy, without observing the laws of holiness.
Chapter 42
Beware Of The False Religious Leaders
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but
inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear
righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. Matthew 23:27
Explanations:
1. The religious leaders are
bold and loud in their sermons and preaching.
2. Yet, they are not teaching
people the Truth.
3. They are teaching and
practicing man-made laws and doctrines in place of the eternal Truth.
Chapter 43
Opposition To Reformations
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because
you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the
righteous, 30 and say, 'If we had lived
in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the
blood of the prophets.'
31 "Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves
that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your
fathers' guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of
vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets,
wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them
you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous
blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah,
son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things
will come upon this generation. Matthew 23:29-36
Explanations:
1.
This very message and warning applies to all humanity,
especially religious leaders, who mislead the ignorant masses into hating and
killing the true men of God, just because the religious leaders want to
continue to remain in power, lording it over others, and to continue business
as usual while many things are going wrong.
2.
From age to age, both religious and civil leaders have
rejected, persecuted and killed
reformers sent by God Almighty.
3.
Today, God is using Warrior Angels with merciless swords in
wiping out humanity, simply because both religious and civil leaders, who are
spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy, have deceived humanity into all forms of
religions, which are nothing but the multiplicity of idolatry.
4.
That is why humanity are encountering the merciless
swords in the forms of crisis, agitations, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes,
volcanoes, wars, diseases, infections, pollutions, accidents, emergencies,
abnormalities, in various strange forms that are unexpected. Be warned!
Chapter 44
Why The Mighty Have Fallen
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the
prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather
your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you
were not willing! 38 See! Your house is
left to you desolate; 39 for I say to
you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the
name of the Lord!'" Matthew
23:37-39
Explanations:
1. Because of this prophecy,
the city of Jerusalem was defeated and many Israelites taken captives.
2. The temple of Jerusalem
was destroyed, levelled down, as foretold by Jesus. Only the Wailing Wall
remains of the great and glorious temple, as a testimony against Israelites and
humanity.
3. Even the Israelites could
not deliver themselves from the curse of Jesus, until He came back to earth and
removed the cursed as confirmed by the Elijah the ancient prophet of God, in
the narrative below:
4.
Here are more
explanations about Israel, A New Revelations By
Elijah The Ancient Prophet Of God
Son of man, about Israel.
The first president has
come and gone. The second president has come and gone. And the current
president (President Trump) has come and gone.
Son of man, can you tell
me why the third president was able to transfer the capital of Israel to
Jerusalem?
Son of man, on the day the
son, Jesus, came.
Son of man, if you would
recollect (remember) what happened on 23rd July, 2017.
Son of man, on that day,
the son came in your midst and wept (intervened) on the behalf of the
Israelites. He removed the curse He placed on them because they failed to
receive Him when He came in their midst in the past, as Jesus Christ in Israel.
As soon as He did so,
Jerusalem was made the capital of Israel. On that day, Jesus repeated what was
written in the book Matthew, saying:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often
I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under
her wings, but you were not willing! 38
See! Your house is left to you desolate ;
39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is
He who comes in the name of the LORD!'"
Matthew 23:37-39
Then, He asked the
congregation to acknowledge the Messiah by singing the song Messiah is the King
of Kings… The congregation sang the song on the behalf of Israel, because the
Igbo people are Israelites.
Chapter 45
Even So In This End Time
Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His
disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to
them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one
stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown
down." Matthew 24:1-2
Explanations:
1. God rejected the people
of Israel and their temple, because they loved their temple to the neglect of
what God said.
2. And when God came in
their midst as Jesus Christ, the Israelites were not spiritually awake to
recognize God Almighty, who was in their midst.
3. They rejected His
corrections and teachings and even conspired against Him by crucifying Him on
the cross.
4. But, out of love and
mercy, God turned the crucifixion into salvation for humanity.
5. And Archangel Michael
said, “All these churches shall be leveled down, because they did not know that
God Almighty has come down to the earth for the end time and did not bid Him
welcome. And new temples shall be built for the Most High.”
Chapter 46
The Sign Of The End Of The Age
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came
to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what
will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed
that no one deceives you. 5 For many
will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of
wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet. 7 For nation
will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be
famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of
sorrows. Matthew 24:3-8
Explanations:
You can know a true minister
of God by the following qualities:
1.
His face is
radiant with joy, peace and freedom.
2.
People who come
in contact with him experience bliss or a thoughtless state. The same is true
of those who associate with or visit him. They become unaware of the passage of
time, while in the presence of the true saint. Usually, children of God who
visit a saint feel such a timelessness, that they would not know that they have
spent a long period of time with the saint.
3.
A saint is lively
in appearance, movement and action. He is not sluggish, weak or undecided.
4.
He keeps the Ten
Commandments of God - Exodus 20.
In the book of Revelation, Jesus made it clear that the saints are those people
who keep the Ten Commandments, saying,
"Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the
commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." Revelation 14:12
5.
He observes the
seven annual festivals of God - Leviticus 23.
6.
He lives a life
of holiness.
7.
He performs all
his duties as service offering rendered to God Almighty, without expecting
rewards, thanks, praises, force or persuasion.
8.
He follows the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, everyday of his life.
9.
He focuses on
teaching and practising the Truth, righteousness and holiness, which lead to
everlasting life, and not on prophecies, miracles and prosperity as so many
religious leaders are doing today.
10.
He practises
Spiritual Science and teaches people the same.
Some churches spend so many years in investigating the
likelihood of a person being a saint, after the person is dead. The true saints
are the living people of God, whether they are dead or alive. Even those
considered dead are not dead.
The long years and beauracracy that churches spend in verifying and confirming
a saint are clear evidences that the religious leaders are indeed blind to the
realities in spirit. It is possible and easy to know a saint by his appearance,
words and actions. For a person, who is spiritually awake, enlightened and
experienced, a ten-minute discussion is enough to identify and recognize a
saint.
For example, when Abraham saw the two Angels going to destroy Sodom and
Gomorrah, it did not take him years to confirm them. When Jesus saw Nathaniel,
there and then he confirmed Nathaniel as a Saint. By their fruits you shall
know them, and by their works you shall confirm them.
Chapter 47
The Love Of Many Will Grow Cold
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill
you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will
betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the
love of many will grow cold. 13 But he
who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a
witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:9-14
Explanations:
Chapter 48
Abominations Of Desolation
"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,'
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever
reads, let him understand), Matthew 24:15
Explanations:
1. Today, people see the
abominations, but do not understand, because people are spiritually blind,
ignorant and lazy.
2. They failed to study
spiritual science, and they fail to read their bible by themselves.
3. The religious leaders
that teach and preach do misinterpret the spiritual statements in the holy
books. That is one of the reasons why things are getting worse from day to day,
4. Examples of the
abominations, which practices God warned against in several portions of the
scriptures, are:
a.
Carrying corpses into the churches and holy places.
b.
Wearing shoes, sandals, slippers and stockings into the
churches and holy places.
c.
Women in their monthly periods entering the churches and
holy places, and even mounting the altar.
5. Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,
etc, etc.
Chapter 49
The Lord Is Our Refuge
"Then let those who are in Judea flee to the
mountains. 17 Let him who is on the
housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go
back to get his clothes. Matthew 24:16
Explanations:
Chapter 50
There Will Be Great Tribulation
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are
nursing babies in those days! 20 And
pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation,
such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor
ever shall be. Matthew 24:17-21
Explanations:
Chapter 51
For The Sake Of The Elect
And unless those
days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those
days will be shortened. Matthew 24:22
Explanations:
1. Who are the elect? Those
saints, who have been sent to the world, to help and guide humanity out of
darkness and from evil to goodness, light and righteousness.
2. The Angels of God born
into the midst of humanity to guide people back tot God.
Chapter 52
False Christs And False Prophets
"Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!'
or 'There!' do not believe it. 24 For
false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to
deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25
See, I have told you beforehand.
26 "Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the
desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it.
Matthew 24:23-26
Explanations:
1. When Jesus warned the
world about the false prophets, He never said that there shall be no true
prophets.
2. What He said was that
while you seek for and go to the true prophets, make sure that you do not fall
into the hands of the false prophets.
3. Likewise, when He said
that so many false Christs shall arise, He never said that the true Christ
shall not come to help humanity.
4. Nobody refuses to go to
market simply because there are fake products in the market. But, every wise
person is cautious enough to avoid buying the fake products.
5. Therefore, it is your
duty to investigate, to find out the true Christ, wherever He is.
6. Those who search in
earnest find the true Christ and His prophets.
Chapter 53
For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to
the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the
eagles will be gathered together. Matthew 24:27,28
Explanations:
1. Wherever God Almighty
shall be present and manifest, there shall all the nations of the world gather
to meet and worship Him.
2. In this end time, the place
chosen by God is the city of the rising sun, Abagana, in Anambra State,
Nigeria.
Chapter 56
The Sign Of The Son Of Man
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the
sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will
appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they
will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great
sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:29-31
Explanations:
1. One of the signs is that
often, the clouds are drawing the pictures of Jesus riding on a horse, as
written in Revelation 19:11-16.
2. Jesus is already in the
midst of humanity, for the end time. But, many shall not be able to recognize
Him, because they failed to study and practise Spiritual Science.
Chapter 57
The Word Of God Will By No Means Pass Away
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its
branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is
near. 33 So you also, when you see all
these things, know that it is near — at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation
will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My
words will by no means pass away.
Matthew 24:32-35
Explanations:
1. God’s word is Eee and Amen
(true and final).
2. It shall unfailingly come
to fulfillment.
Chapter 58
As The Days Of Noah Were
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the
angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man
be. 38 For as in the days before the
flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noah entered the ark, 39
and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the
coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two
men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill:
one will be taken and the other left. 42
Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the
house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not
allowed his house to be broken into. 44
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not
expect. Matthew 24:36-45
Explanations:
1. People are selfish,
stubborn and prone to do evil.
2. They do not know the
Truth.
3. And they do not want to
hear the Truth.
4. None pays attention to
the end time messages and warnings from God, just as Noah’s generations ignored
his revelations, teachings and warnings.
Chapter 56
There Shall Be Weeping And Gnashing Of Teeth
"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master,
when he comes, will find so doing. 47
Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his
heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,'
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the
drunkards, 50 the master of that servant
will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not
aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:45-51
Explanations:
1. The religious leaders
have deviated from the Truth.
2.
Only very few still know and remain in the Everlasting
Covenant of God with Humanity.
Many churches declare Year of Mercy, encourage
penance and indulgence, pray the rosary or organize novenas. In all these
things, they are busy deceiving themselves, because they fail to do what God
said in the Bible. Such religions and their church members are busy holding
adoration, crusade, evangelism, shiloh, congress, camp meetings, councils,
synods and conferences.
They are always organizing prayers on the mountain
tops, down in the valleys, in the wilderness, inside monasteries or by the
riversides. Yet, they fail or refuse to keep the original Ten Commandments of
God as in Exodus 20, and do not observe the seven annual festivals of God as
written in Leviticus 23, which festivals Jesus attended.
3. Only very few are
steadfast in doing what God has commanded.
Chapter 57
The Great Separation
"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten
virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were
foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took
their lamps and took no oil with them, 4
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they
all slumbered and slept.
6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the
bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us
some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for
us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom
came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door
was shut.
11 "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying,
'Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he
answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'
13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day
nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Matthew 25:1-13
Explanations:
Below are the
explanations of the parable of ten virgins, as given by Archangel Gabriel:
Son
of man, I am the heaven’s warrior, Archangel Gabriel, the dove that reveals
secret things.
Son
of man, son of man, I have come to reveal to the world in this great feast of
God, the Feast of Tabernacles.
Son
of man, I have come to reveal to the world.
Son
of man, what have I come to do?
I
have come to explain the parable of the ten virgins.
Son
of man, tell all the religious leaders in the world, that since they have been
interpreting this parable, none of them has given the correct interpretation.
Son
of man, none.
That
is why I have come to reveal the secret to the world.
Son
of man, the parable of the ten virgins.
Son
of man, I shall not take your time.
Son
of man, what is that wick inside the lamp?
The
wick, what is it?
It
is the righteousness that is expected from people. It signifies righteousness,
that is expected from every man.
Son
of man, what is the oil inside the lamp?
Son
of man, it is the Holy Spirit.
It
is the Holy Spirit.
It
is the Holy Spirit.
Son
of man, what is the light from the lamp?
So
should everybody make himself to be full of the light of the Holy Spirit.
All
his behaviour, conducts and actions shall be in the footstep of the Almighty
God, the creator of heaven and earth.
Son
of man, and the light shall become more and more radiant, like the morning sun,
which grows more and steadily until after noon, and even so forever more.
Son
of man, what is that righteousness that is expected from everybody?
Son
of man, the righteousness is doing the will of God. Righteousness is following
the footsteps of God.
The
righteousness as written in psalm 23.
Son
of man, what are the paths of righteousness?
Son
of man, number one is keeping the original Ten Commandments that was given to
humanity through Moses, as written in the book of Exodus, chapter 20.
Son
of man, number two is observing the seven annual festivals of God, as God
commanded in sequence in Leviticus 23, which are the great feasts Jesus
attended when He was on earth.
Therefore,
righteousness is the character of God.
Righteousness
is the behaviour of God, the habit of the Almighty.
Son
of man, tell the world, anybody who does not observe the above laws, son of
man, that person is not born again. He is not a Christian. And he is not a
believer.
Son
of man, do you hear my voice? Yes, Lord.
Son
of man, do you hear my voice? Yes, Lord.
Son
of man, I shall stop today’s message here, because there is no much time.
Son of man, publish this
message to all the ends of the world.
Spread it to all churches in
the world.
Son of man, let it get into
the ears of everybody in this world, everybody who wants to enter the kingdom
of heaven.
Son of man, tell them,
everybody who does not comply with the above explanations is among the five
foolish virgins.
Son of man, today’s message
has finished.
Chapter 58
The Parable Of The Talents
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling
to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to
them. 15 And to one he gave five
talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability;
and immediately he went on a journey. 16
Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made
another five talents. 17 And likewise he
who had received two gained two more also.
18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his
lord's money. 19 After a long time the
lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 "So he who had received five talents came and
brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents;
look, I have gained five more talents besides them.' 21 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and
faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' 22 He also who had received two talents came
and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more
talents besides them.' 23 His lord said
to him,'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few
things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
24 "Then he who had received the one talent came and
said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and
gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look,
there you have what is yours.'
26 "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You
wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather
where I have not scattered seed. 27 So
you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would
have received back my own with interest.
28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten
talents.
29'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he
will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be
taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable
servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.' Matthew 25:1-30
Explanations:
1. One several occasions,
religious leaders have interpreted this parable for you.
2.
But, they fail to tell you that you are the servant who
refuse to use his talents.
3.
Many are not doing God’s work.
4.
So many men whose wives are ministers of God do not allow
their wives to do God’s work.
5.
Both schools and offices are not listening to or obeying
the messages and directives from God.
6.
Each person is like the parable of the destructive child,
because they are busy destroying every good thing without remorse, without
restraint and without repentance.
7.
The film actors and musicians are busy doing everything
called immorality despite sermons, preaching and warnings. And the youths
follow after them, without minding the future consequences and calamities.
Chapter 59
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the
holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before
Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his
sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set
the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His
right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world: 35
for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I
was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I
was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison
and you came to Me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying,
'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You
drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger
and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40 And the King will answer and say to them,
'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these
My brethren, you did it to Me.'
41 "Then He will also say to those on the left
hand,'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the
devil and his angels: 42 for I was
hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me
in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit
Me.'
44 "Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord,
when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
prison, and did not minister to You?' 45
Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did
not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' 46 And these will go away into everlasting
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matthew 25:31-46
Explanations:
1. The three easiest ways to
heaven are charity, devotion and meditation.
2.
In every
situation, attend to both physical and spiritual needs of the people.
3.
In your everyday
works of mercy, give people both physical and spiritual foods.
4.
Provide them with
both physical and spiritual clothes.
5.
Let their shelter
be fit, physically and spiritually.
6.
Visit them not only
in the hospitals, bout also at their home, even so spiritually.
7.
Let the drinks
you serve to them include both ordinary water and spiritual drinks.
8.
You should not
only visit them in the prisons, but in addition help to deliver them from both
physical and spiritual prisons.
9.
You give people
spiritual food when you teach them the word of God, the Gospel Of Truth And Salvation, and not the Gospel Of Deceit with which the antichrist misleads the world.
10.
You give them
spiritual clothe when you pray for them, and wash their faces, their hands and
feet with holy substances or bath them with the holy waters.
11.
You provide good
enough shelter for them by giving them accommodation, and by performing family
deliverance and spiritual works on the buildings and compounds, for many places
are the abodes of demons and evil spirits.
12.
You heal them by
offering them the prayers of healing.
13.
Spiritual drinks
are provided by giving them holy waters to drink. The holy waters includes the
water of life, the blood of Jesus, the covenant salt and the anointing oil.
Chapter 56
Just Because God Permitted It For A Purpose – For
Salvation
Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
sayings, that He said to His disciples, 2 "You know that after two days is
the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be
crucified."
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of
the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him. 5 But they said, "Not during the feast,
lest there be an uproar among the people." Matthew 26:1-5
Explanations:
1. Even so religious
leaders, government workers, pagans and members of secret societies plotted and
worked against the son of man in this end time, to their own shame, defeat and
doom.
2. They are busy holding secret
meetings against God’s directives, when they should be pleading for mercy,
forgiveness and salvation.
3. They join with pagans and
members of secret societies in hindering the works of God.
Chapter 57
Different Types Of Anointing
And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the
leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant
oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. 8 But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant,
saying, "Why this waste? 9 For this fragrant oil might have been sold for
much and given to the poor."
10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them,
"Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but
Me you do not have always. 12 For in
pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this
gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be
told as a memorial to her." Matthew
26:6-13
Explanations:
1. There are different types
of anointing.
2. There are anointing for
various purposes.
Chapter 58
The Significance Of The Thirty Pieces Of Silver
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to
the chief priests 15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I
deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.
16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. Matthew 26:14-16
Explanations:
1. Jesus was Joseph in his
previous lifetimes.
2. The same fate happened to
Him and Joseph.
3. His previous lifetimes,
as Joseph and as Samuel, were preparations for His final work as the saviour.
4. The word of God creates.
The moment God speaks, the effect is complete in the spiritual realm. But, it
takes the long process of evolution for the word to come into physical
manifestation and fulfillment.
5. Judas was the Egyptian
taskmaster killed by Moses.
Chapter 59
Jesus Was Busy Keeping The Old Testament
Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread
the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do You want us to
prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
18 And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man,
and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand; I will keep the
Passover at your house with My disciples."'"
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and
they prepared the Passover. Matthew 26:17-19
Explanations:
1. A practical demonstration
and confirmation that Old Testament is still relevant in the New Testament and
in the present age.
2. You discover that in the
New Testament, Jesus was busy doing what things that are written in the Old
Testament.
3. Today, many people who
claim to follow Jesus are not doing the Old Testament teachings and practices,
which Jesus kept and observed.
4. How come that Christians
now say that the Old Testament is no longer relevant?
Chapter 60
Do Not Betray The Truth
When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21
Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you
will betray Me."
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them
began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?"
23 He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand
with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The
Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by
whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had
not been born."
25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said,
"Rabbi, is it I?"
He said to him, "You have said it." Matthew 26:20-25
Explanations:
1. Both Saints and evil men
reincarnate to continue from where they stopped.
2. Judas was the Egyptian
taskmaster killed by Moses.
3. Do not betray the Truth,
because you will destroy yourself by so doing.
4. The end point of every
evil is its own self-destruction; and in doing so, it also destroys whoever
that serves as its agent.
5.
Chapter 61
The Holy Communion
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and
broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My
body."
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to
them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.
28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for
the remission of sins. 29 But I say to
you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when
I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the
Mount of Olives. Matthew 26:26-30
Explanations:
1. The Holy Communion is a
free gift of salvation to humanity.
2. Jesus gave it without
fasting or conditions, unlike the present day religious leaders, who lay heavy
burdens on people.
3. The Holy Communion is
also a personal weapon for warfare in this end time. As such, every person is
free to take the Holy Communion at home, and as often he desires, for spiritual
growth, nourishment and victory.
4. When you set your morning
breakfast, stretch your hand over it and pray God to change them into the body
and blood of Jesus. Do so as often as you want.
5. Likewise, a group,
company or organization can take the Holy Communion in their gathering by one
of them praying God to change the bread and wine into the body and blood of
Jesus.
Chapter 62
Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made
to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
'I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' Matthew 26:31
Explanations:
777
Chapter 63
Confirmation
But after I have been raised, I will go before
you to Galilee.” Matthew 26:32
Explanations:
1.
This He actually
did, to fulfil what He told His disciples.
2.
Myself as a
person has also seen, experienced and demonstrated this fact. In spirit, I went
as Jesus Christ to meet the disciples. And while in the same room with them, I
rebuked them for their unbelief in the resurrection.
Chapter 64
Not By Power Nor By Might
Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are made
to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that
this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You,
I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples. Matthew 26:33-35
Explanations:
1.
None is able to
deliver unless he is empowered by the Holy Spirit.
2.
That is why God
said, “Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit”.
3.
None should boast
of anything, because whatever a person has belongs to not himself but to God.
4.
That is also why
in the Lord’s Prayer, we should say, “Do not allow us to fall into temptation”.
We should not say, “Do not lead us into temptation,” because God does not tempt
anyone.
Chapter 65
A Necessity
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane,
and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two
sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He
said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and
watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and
prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me;
nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them
sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into
temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed,
saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it,
Your will be done.” 43 And He came and
found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the
third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to
them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the
Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is
at hand.” Matthew 26:36-46
Explanations:
1.
Before Jesus
said, “Pray and watch”.
2.
Now, I say to
you, “Do pray, watch and work”.
3.
When the problems
of life seem to overwhelm you, pray to God for ease, for help, for comfort and
for solution.
Chapter 66
The Betrayal
And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of
the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief
priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying,
“Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus
and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?”
Matthew 26:47-50
Explanations:
1.
It is very bad
for a servant to betray his master.
2.
Likewise, it is
very bad for a master to betray his servant.
3.
Do not play the
role of a betrayer.
4.
Do not even act
it in films or drama.
5.
Those who betray
others end up inside the hell fire.
6.
Be warned.
Chapter 67
Karma
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and
drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its
place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to
My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be
fulfilled, that it must happen thus?"
Matthew 26:50-54
Explanations:
Now, in this end time,
Archangel Michael says that Jesus has come down to the earth with Warrior
Angels with merciless swords, for the end time sweeping operations, just as is
written in the book of Revelation:
Now
I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His
eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name
written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped
in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now
out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His
robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 19:11-16
According to
Archangel Michael,
Tell them to remember the statement of Jesus
in the bible, when he was being subjected to judgment.
Son of man, Jesus said then, that if His
kingdom were of this world, He would have prayed to God to give Him Legions of
Angels, to fight.
Son of man, tell them, the first coming of
Jesus was for salvation.
Son of man, tell them, Jesus has now come for
the end time operations.
Tell them, Jesus is right now in the midst of
humanity. He has come down with us, the Hosts of Angels of heaven.
Son of man, tell them, all the Warriors Angels
with merciless swords have come down into the world with Jesus.
Son of man, ask them what is merciless swords?
Tell them, it is earthquake.
Tell them, it is flood.
Son of man, tell them, it is wildfire.
Tell them, it is strange and unexpected
events.
Son of man, including ghastly accidents.
Explosions.
Son of man, tell them Jesus has come down with
diseases, pollutions and infections.
Son of man, tell them, Jesus has not come to
take the kingdom of the world, because the kingdom of the world is the kingdom
of darkness.
Tell them, Jesus has come to drive away Satan
and all his agents, all those in secret societies, people in the cults, those
at various idols and shrines, son of man, and every group that do evil works.
Son of man, tell them, Jesus has asked the God
Almighty, and God has supplied Him with Warrior Angels with merciless swords.
Tell the world, every nation that wants to be
useful to themselves, let them return to the original Ten Commandments that God
gave the world. Let them return to and restore the seven annual festivals of
God, which God gave the world.
Son of man, if they refuse to do so, let them
want for earthquake, let them want for heavy rain and flood. Son of man, let
them want for wildfire, which razes a nation. Son of man, let them want for the
strikes of thunder and lightings, in the worst form.
Jesus has come down with the Hosts of Angels
of Heaven. He has come to carry out end time sweeping operations. He has come
to sweep out the kingdom of Devil and all his agents, so that the Kingdom of
God shall be established and spread to all the ends of the world.
Chapter 68
Why The Innocent Suffer
In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have
you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat
daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures
of the prophets might be fulfilled."
Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled. Matthew 26:55-56
Explanations:
1.
Jesus reminds
them of His righteous deeds and makes them know that they were acting out
conspiracy.
2.
He lets them know
that they are succeeding in their plots, simply because God allowed it all for
a purpose.
Chapter 69
The Christ, The Son Of God
And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to
Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58
But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest's courtyard. And he
went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the
council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 but found
none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at
last two false witnesses came forward 61 and said, "This fellow said, 'I
am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'"
62 And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do
You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" 63 But
Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put
You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of
God!"
64 Jesus said to him, "It is as you said.
Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at
the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying,
"He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look,
now you have heard His blasphemy! 66 What do you think?"
They answered and said, "He is deserving of
death."
67 Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others
struck Him with the palms of their hands, 68 saying, "Prophesy to us,
Christ! Who is the one who struck You?" Matthew 26:57-69
Explanations:
1.
Truth is what it
is, whether people believe it or not, just as the sun is shining above, whether
the blind man believes it or not.
2.
Out of all the
religious founders in the world, only Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour of
humanity.
3.
The High Priest
broke the law of God, by tearing his garment. The law states that the priest
must not tear his garment.
Chapter 80
Do Not Deny The Lord
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant
girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I
do not know what you are saying."
71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another
girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This fellow also was with
Jesus of Nazareth."
72 But again he denied with an oath, "I do not know
the Man!"
73 And a little later those who stood by came up and
said to Peter, "Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays
you."
74 Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I
do not know the Man!"
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered
the word of Jesus who had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will
deny Me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly. Matthew 26:69-75
Explanations:
1.
Nobody is
condemned to hell fire because he committed sin.
2.
God
casts a sinner into he hell fire, because the sinner refuses to repent.
3.
In the
text below, Archangel Phanuel, the Archangel of Repentance and the Heaven’s
Disciplinarian, make known those people who deny Jesus. They include the following:

Chapter
81
For The Sake Of Humanity
When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of
the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death. 2 And when they had bound
Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor. Matthew 27:1-2
Explanations:
1.
Here is a repeat
of history.
2.
For Pontus Pilate
was Potiphar and Jesus Christ was Joseph.
3.
Just as Judas was
the Egyptian taskmaster killed by Moses.
Chapter 82
Avoid ‘Had I Known’
Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been
condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the
chief priests and elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent
blood."
And they said, "What is that to us? You see to
it!"
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the
temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. Matthew 27:3-5
Explanations:
1.
The end point of
every evil is its own self-destruction; and in doing so, it also destroys
whoever that serves as its agent.
2.
Do not join the
multitudes in doing wrong, even when everybody is doing so.
Chapter 83
Avoid Blood Money
6 But the chief priests took the silver pieces and
said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are
the price of blood." 7 And they consulted together and bought with them
the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field has been
called the Field of Blood to this day. Matthew
27:6-8
9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the
prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of
Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, 10 and gave
them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me." Matthew
27:9-10
Explanations:
Keep yourself away
from blood money, because the consequences are grievous and may last into your
future lifetimes.
Chapter 84
Beware Of The Silence Of The Innocent
Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor
asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
Jesus said to him, "It is as you say." 12 And while He was being accused by the
chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how
many things they testify against You?" 14 But He answered him not one
word, so that the governor marvelled greatly. Matthew 27:11-14
Explanations:
Chapter 85
Always Stand For The Truth
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to
releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they
had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them,
"Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called
Christ?" 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy. Matthew 27:15-18
Explanations:
Chapter 86
Abide By The Warning Messages From God
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife
sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have
suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." Matthew 27:19
Explanations:
1.
God’s warning is
always timely.
2.
But, often, both
religious and civil leaders neglect such important messages and warnings.
3.
Those who reject
God’s warning regret the consequences later, and do say, “Had I known”.
Chapter 87
False Allegations
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor
answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to
you?"
They said,"Barabbas!"
22 Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do
with Jesus who is called Christ?"
They all said to him, "Let Him be
crucified!"
23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He
done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be
crucified!” Matthew 27:20-23
Explanations:
1. Do not betray the innocent.
2.
Do not join the
wicked majority against the innocent minority.
Chapter 88
Exclude Yourself From Evil Doers
When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but
rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the
multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You
see to it."
25 And all the people answered and said, His blood be
on us and on our children."
26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had
scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. Matthew 27:24-26
Explanations:
1.
A leader must not
give in to evil intentions, even when his followers do so.
2.
A true leader
must not permit people to do what is evil.
3.
A true leader
must protect he innocent ones, always.
Chapter 89
Even The Soldiers Bowed To Jesus
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the
Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him. 28 And they stripped Him
and put a scarlet robe on Him. 29 When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they
put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee
before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30 Then
they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when
they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him,
and led Him away to be crucified. Matthew
27:27-31
Explanations:
1.
Even in mockery,
Jesus is Lord and King.
2.
Even in death,
Jesus is God and Saviour.
3.
Those who
crucified Him were the very ones bearing testimony, both theoretically and
practically, that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Chapter 90
Help The Needy
Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. Matthew 27:32
Explanations:
4.
Chapter 91
The Mark Of Wickedness
And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that
is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to
drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink. Matthew 27:33, 34
Explanations:
Chapter 92
Crucifixion And Lot
Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments,
casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
"They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots." Matthew
27: 35
Explanations:
1.
Do not
participate in sharing stolen money or ill-gotten wealth.
2.
Doing so leads to
hell fire.
Chapter 93
The Unbelievers Confirmed That Jesus Is King
Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37 And
they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE
KING OF THE JEWS. Matthew 27:36-37
Explanations:
1.
Even the enemies
bear witness that Jesus is Lord and Saviour.
2.
The very people
that crucified him also bore witness, by their inscription, that Jesus is king.
Chapter 94
Doubts And Intrigues Do Not Subtract From The Truth
Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the
right and another on the left.
39 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging
their heads 40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in
three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the
cross."
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the
scribes and elders, said, 42 "He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If
He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will
believe Him. 43 He trusted in God; let
Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of
God.'"
44 Even the robbers who were crucified with Him
reviled Him with the same thing. Matthew
27:38-44
Explanations:
1.
Even doubt and
mockery do not change the Truth.
2.
As is always the
case, and very unfortunately, it is the religious leaders and civil leaders,
who should know the Truth, are the very people persecuting, frustrating and
mocking the saints of God, just as the chief priests, scribes and elders were
mocking Jesus on the Calvary.
95
God Is Our Refuge And Strength In Trouble
Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was
darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a
loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My
God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard
that, said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!" 48 Immediately one of
them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and
offered it to Him to drink.
49 The rest said, "Let Him alone; let us see if
Elijah will come to save Him."
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and
yielded up His spirit.
Matthew 27:45-50
Explanations:
1.
When things
happen, people see only the physical manifestations.
2.
They do not see
the spiritual dimensions and therefore do not understand what is happening.
3.
Out of the false imaginations
of their hearts, they misinterpret the realities of life events.
4.
Pray for your
spiritual eye to be opened, so that you can see and understand the spiritual
realities of what is happening.
5.
Also, do observe
quiet times and meditation, for your spiritual growth and wellbeing.
Chapter 96
Confirmatory Evidences
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two
from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the
graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were
raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into
the holy city and appeared to many.
54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were
guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they
feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
55 And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee,
ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, 56 among whom were Mary
Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's
sons. Matthew 27:51-56
Explanations:
1.
Even those who
did not believe did so at His death on the cross, saying, "Truly this was
the Son of God!"
2.
The veil of the
temple split into two, because Jesus passed through it, into the altar.
3.
By so doing,
Jesus removed the demarcation between God and His people, which demarcation is
caused by sin, so that whoever believes in the son shall be saved from sin,
death, destruction and hell fire.
; and from the altar to the
sun, and to heaven.
Chapter 97
Work Of Charity
Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from
Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58
This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be given to him. 59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it
in a clean linen cloth, 60 and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of
the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and
departed. 61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite
the tomb. Matthew 27:57-61
Explanations:
1.
Do not shy away
from helping others when they are in need.
2.
Help to bury the
dead.
3.
But, do not let
the corpse defile everybody.
4.
Avoid the bad habit
of moving the corpse from one place to another, because by so doing, the corpse
defiles so many places, things and people.
5.
Always move the
corpse through the shortest distance to its grave.
Chapter 98
Unless The Lord Builds The House
On the next day, which followed the Day of
Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, 63
saying, "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver
said, 'After three days I will rise.' 64
Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His
disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He has
risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go
your way, make it as secure as you know how." 66 So they went and made the
tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard. Matthew 27:62-66
Explanations:
1.
The guards were
of no avail, because they could not stop Jesus from resurrecting and could not
stop Him from getting away.
2. Such is the foolishness of man, who in every way
rejects the Truth, to his own deceit and detriment.
Chapter 99
The Testimony Of The Angel Of God
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week
began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And
behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from
heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His
countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the
guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women,
"Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He
is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord
lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead,
and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold,
I have told you."
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and
great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. Matthew 28:1-8
Explanations:
1.
The above facts
are not enough reasons or excuse to change the day of worship from Sabbath to
Sunday, because Sunday is the day of the worship of the pagan god called the
sun, a thing created by God.
2.
God made the
Sabbath an everlasting covenant.
3.
God established
the Sabbath.
4.
God rested on the
seventh day.
5.
God blessed and
hallowed the Sabbath day.
6.
On this Sabbath
depends the success and prosperity, as well as comfort and security, of
humanity.
Chapter 100
He Is Alive
And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus
met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet
and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and
tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me." Matthew
28:9-10
Explanations:
This Jesus actually did after
His death and resurrection, to prove that His resurrection was true.
Chapter 101
Beware Of Lies And Fabrications
Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard
came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had
happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together,
they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 saying, "Tell them,
'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.' 14 And if this
comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure." 15
So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is
commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Matthew 28:11-15
Explanations:
O
Lord, my strength and my fortress,
My
refuge in the day of affliction,
The
Gentiles shall come to You
From
the ends of the earth and say,
"Surely
our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness
and unprofitable things."
Jeremiah
16:19
Chapter 102
All Power And Authority
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to
the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they
worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe
all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the
end of the age." Amen. Matthew
28:16-20
Explanations:
1.
Indeed, all power
and authority belong to Jesus, in heaven and on earth.
2.
Jesus is indeed
the Lord and Saviour.
3.
And whoever that
does not believe in Him is condemned already.
4.
the same is true
of whoever that does not believe in His blood.
