BECOMING
SILVER AND GOLD
LETTER
TO GENTILE BRETHREN –
FEAST OF TABERNACLES 2008
Dear brethren,
Please read this letter carefully. God
had appointed us as a house of prayer to offer Him sweet smelling sacrifices or
in other words our prayers are to be offered in sincerity and in truth. We
cannot have sin dwelling among us and at the same time offer sweet smelling
sacrifices. In order to bring the captivity back our function is to do as He
commands. Our calling is sacred. We are sanctified for our function. Let us
become silver and gold to Him, so that through our prayers spiritual Jerusalem
will be established in its beauty.
Isa 62:7-- And give Him no rest till He
establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
2Co 1:21-- Now He who establishes us
with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
IT IS GOD WHO ANNOINTED US
FOR HIS PURPOSE THAT WE SHOULD NOT REST UNTIL HE MAKES JERUSALEM A PRAISE IN
EARTH—
Hab 2:12 "Woe to him who builds a town with
bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity!
ACCORDING TO THIS VERSE IF
THERE IS INIQUITY AMONG US—WE CANNOT HAVE ANY PART WHILE THE LORD GOD IS
ESTABLISHING A PURE JERUSALEM!
When
such is the situation are we to be in sin without repenting and think we are
saved? NO, IT WOULD NOT BE SO—BUT WE SHALL BE
PUNISHED AND CHASTENED TOO IF WE NEGLECT THE SALVATION WE ARE OFFERED. Please
understand that the TRUTH OF GOD at present times is with us, and we ought to
be very serious as to what we are doing with the enormous Revelations we get?
We had explained Zech 8 in our recent
articles—"fasting of the fifth"--http://www.gentileassembly.org/
Zech 8: 15—God had thought of doing
good again to Jerusalem---and that will be done through us as we had explained.
Zech. 8: 16-- These are
the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of
truth and peace in your gates:
17-- And let none of you imagine evil
in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are
things that I hate, saith the LORD.
1 PET. 1: 2-5—ELECT IS ADDRESSED--
"2 Elect according to the
foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto
obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and
peace, be multiplied."
3 -- Blessed [be] the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us
again unto a lively hope
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
ready to be revealed
in the last time."----
ALL THESE WILL BE REVEALED IN THE LAST DAYS—
WE SHOULD NOT BE DEFILED---
Nu 19:20 'But the man who is unclean and does not
purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the assembly, because
he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not
been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
Eph 5:26-- that He might
sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
This
water had been going from the assembly-- Isa 42:15 -- I will make the rivers
coastlands, ---- Isa 24:15-- The name of the LORD God of Israel in the
coastlands of the sea.
THE WATERS GO FROM THE ROCK
THROUGH THE RIVERS OF COASTLANDS TO WILDERNESS OF Revelation 12: 14---TO CLEAR
SIN AND UNCLEANNESS—(read –"house of Israel in wilderness—
http://www.gentileassembly.org/)
Isa
41:17-18 --- I will open rivers in high places,---Isa
43:19- Behold, I will do a new
thing; now it shall spring forth;
Isa 43:20 -- because I give waters in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.-- Isa 48:21 --
he caused the waters to flow out
of the rock for them:-- Ps 78:16 He
brought streams also out
of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.--- Eze 47:1
-- Afterward he brought me again unto
the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward:(we had explained that our country is in
east—read—"Tarshish")-- Ps 46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.--- Joe 3:18 --- And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills
shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come
forth of the house of the LORD,--- Zec 13:1 -- In that day there shall be a fountain opened
to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for
uncleanness.----
THESE ARTICLES ARE THE SPIRITUAL WATERS
THAT COME FROM THE ROCK TO THE WILDERNESS –they come from the house eastward
which is the house of David today as Zech 12: 8 states and these waters are for
cleansing all sins and uncleanness!
PCG is
defiled because they broke the marriage covenant! God's judgments stand
forever—
Ne 13:29-- Remember them, O my God,
because they have defiled
the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
Ps 74:7 --They have set fire to Your
sanctuary; They have defiled
the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.
Isa 59:3-- For your hands are defiled with blood, And your
fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies,
Jer 2:7-- I brought you
into a bountiful country, To eat its fruit and its goodness. But when you entered, you defiled
My land And made My heritage an abomination.(PCG was blessed at
the beginning with much Revelations—but they went to Bamah!)
Jer 3:9 --"So it
came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with
stones and trees.(PCG brought in a
prayer rock as a monument---wooden piano as a treasure!---all these to raise
ruins of a corpse!—of H W Armstrong!)
Ho 10:10-- When it is My desire, I will
chasten them. Peoples shall be gathered against them when I bind them for their
two transgressions.
Two transgressions---
1. Bamah and
2. Idol of H W Armstrong!
A DEAD BODY IS A CORPSE! H W
Armstrong IS DEAD!
Nu 9:6--- Now there were certain men
who were defiled by a
human corpse--- Nu 9:7 --And those men said to him, "We became defiled by a human
corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the LORD at its
appointed time among the children of Israel?"
AS WE HAD EXPLAINED GOD HATES
THIS RAISING RUINS OF H W Armstrong!
THEN ANYONE WHO THINKS H W
Armstrong IS A GREAT PERSON IS
DEFILED! H W Armstrong brought forth facts about worshipping God from
THE WORDS OF THE WORD OF GOD! —Then people must exalt GOD!
PCG made people sacrifice
to the cause of raising ruins of H W Armstrong!
But what did Paul and
Barnabas do when they were counted as gods?
"15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye
these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you
that ye should turn from
these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and all things that are therein: 16 Who in times past suffered all
nations to walk in their own ways. 17 Nevertheless He left not Himself without
witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful
seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. 18 And with these sayings
scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them." (Ac 14:15-18
AV)
WE SHOULD BE PLEASING THE LORD GOD WITH
OUR SACRIFICES—PURE SACRIFICES TO THE LORD GOD! THEN WE SHOULD BE EXAMINING
OURSELVES AND CHECK THE WORD OF GOD ALL THE TIME TO SEE WHETHER WE ARE DOING
EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WORD AND THE TRUTH! Thus we could become silver or gold to
God!
WE SHOULD EXAMINE----
2 "CO.13: 5 --Examine yourselves,
whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves,
how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
THOSE WHO ARE BAPTISED ARE
REQUIRED TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH--
2 TIM 2: 11—15-- It is a faithful
saying: For if we be dead
with him, we shall also live with him:--12-- If we suffer, we shall also
reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:---13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful:
he cannot deny himself.--14 - Of these things put them in remembrance, charging
them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the
subverting of the hearers.—15-- Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD-
JN 15: 3-- Now ye are clean through the
word which I have spoken unto you.---BE DOERS OF THE
WORD TO OBEY THE LORD GOD.
FORGIVEN AT BAPTISM—BUT-----IT IS NO
LICENSE TO SIN
COL. 2: 12--- Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye
are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised
him from the dead.--13 --And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses;
LAY
HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE--
1 TIM. 6: 2 --Fight the good fight of
faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast
professed a good profession before many witnesses.
14--- That thou keep this commandment
without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
KEEPING COMMANDMENTS
JN 14: 15--If ye love me, keep my
commandments.---21-- He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is
that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will
love him, and will manifest Myself to him.
12-- This is My commandment, That ye
love one another, as I have loved you.
COL. 3: 2 --Set
your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
COL. 3: "5-6--Mortify therefore
your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate
affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which
things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
"8-10 ---But now ye also put off
all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your
mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with
his deeds; 10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of him that created him:" (Col 3:8-10)
COL 3: 12-17-- "12--Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if
any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do]
ye. 14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And
let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in
one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in
all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Col 3:12-17 AV)
FOLLOW CHRIST AND DO NOT ALLOW MEN TO SPOIL
YOU--
"6 As ye have therefore received
Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and
stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving. 8 Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Col 2:6-8 AV)
BRANCHES TO PRODUCE FRUITS
JN 15: 2--- Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he
purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
YOUR SPEECH--
COL 4: 6--- Let your speech be alway with grace,
seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Col 3:8-- But now you yourselves are to
put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.
DO EVERYTHING AS IF YOU ARE SERVING THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST---
"23 And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord,
and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of
the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall
receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of
persons." (Col 3:23-25 AV)
REDEEM TIME--
COL 4: 5 ---Walk in wisdom toward them
that are without, redeeming the time.---THE VERSE SAYS
NOT TO WASTE TIME WITH OUTSIDERS---(EXAMPLE—ANY ACTIVITY other than your normal
obligations THAT WILL HAMPER THE TIME YOU HAVE WITH GOD, FAMILY AND BRETHREN)
DEPART FROM INIQUITY
"19 -- Nevertheless the foundation
of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.
And, Let every one that
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house
there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of
earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he
shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use,
[and] prepared unto every good work. 22 ¶ Flee also youthful lusts: but follow
righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart." (2Ti 2:19-22 AV)
IF YOU DO AGAINST GOD'S WORDS YOU SHALL BE
CUT OFF---
Le
18:29-- For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls
that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.--30
--Therefore
shall ye keep Mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable
customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves
therein: I am the LORD your God.
WE SHALL BE SONS AND
DAUGHTERS OF GOD IF ONLY WE ARE OBEDIENT TO HIM--
2Co 6:18--- And will be a Father unto
you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Feast of Tabernacles 2008 will be very
special as the times are coming closer to the COMING OF OUR LORD GOD! and every
day becomes closer to THE GREATEST EVENT OF OUR LIVES!
BE BLAMELESS WHEN CHRIST APPEARS---
"22 Abstain from all appearance of
evil. 23 ¶ And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ." (1Th 5:22-23 AV)
SHAME FOR JUDGES AS PAUL WROTE---IF THEY HAD
NOT CHECKED THE SINS OF THE CONGREGATION--
2 CO. 12: 20-21-- For I fear, lest,
when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found
unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths,
strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:---21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among
you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the
uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have
committed.
ALL IN ALL WE HAVE TO EXAMINE
OURSELVES!
Your prayers are
requested for a Glorious Celebration with Our LORD GOD and Saviour Jesus
Christ. According to Ezra 7: 26, 27—we are to beautify the altar of God by allowing only those who have
repented of their sins to be present at the feast.
Ezra. 7: 26 --And whosoever will not
do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed
speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to
confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 --Blessed be the LORD God of our
fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the
LORD which is in Jerusalem:
DISOBEDIENT SHOULD BE AVOIDED, BUT
ADMONISHED--
"14 And if any man obey not our
word by this epistle, note
that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet
count [him] not as an enemy, but
admonish [him] as a brother." (2Th 3:14-15 AV)
We Gentile Assembly too must examine
the worshippers of the assembly.
Zec 13:1 "In that day a fountain shall be opened
for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for
uncleanness.
THE FOUNTAIN OF Revelations WAS OPENED
TO CLEAR SINS AND UNCLEANNESS!
THEN WE SHOULD CLEAN OURSELVES TOO!
Whatever applies to sinners of Israel
will apply to us too if we have unrepented sins! And we have the SPIRITUAL
waters to clean!
La 3:40-- Let us search out and examine
our ways, And turn back to the LORD;
NOW WE SHOULD THINK---
WE ARE GOING TO BE PRIESTS OF
GOD FOREVER—TO BE CLOSE TO GOD FOREVER-----HOW SHOULD WE TRAIN OURSELVES?
If we love the world or the worldly
things (needs and lusts are different—it is quite alright to use quality things
as the needs may be) –if we love the friends of the world more than the
brethren--
If we say we can be saved when we are
thinking against one another IS THAT ACCORDING TO THE TRUTH? Or else if you do
not do the things that can help a brother spiritually, are you working
according to the truth? If you put doubts to innocent brethren, are you working
for their good? —do not
you understand that you are working against God?
Instead of such activities, we should
do all what we can to build up brethren spiritually. Share the Revelations that
we receive from the spiritual table God provides for us—COMFORT ONE ANOTHER!
Some are doing so, and it is a joy to
members, a good thing! We have to be peacemakers.
Mt 5:9-- Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
WELL, IF YOU FIND SINS UNREPENTED IN
YOU----IT IS FOR YOU TO REPENT AND CORRECT YOURSELVES—GOD WILL BRING OUT THE
SINS TO CORRECT YOU—BEFORE HE PUNISHES HE WILL CORRECT YOU! Sometimes we do not
realise that we are sinning—then we can pray to God and ask Him to show these
sins—AND HE IS ABLE TO SHOW YOU EITHER BY SOMEONE TELLING YOU—OR FROM THE WORD
OF GOD –OR BY THE ARTICLES YOU ARE READING—HAVE AN OPEN MIND—AND YOU SHALL BE
REVEALED—THANK GOD FOR REVEALING IT AND THEN REPENT AND ASK GOD TO CHANGE
YOU—BE DETERMINED TO CHANGE AS GOD WANTS YOU TO CHANGE!
When we understand the law of the LORD
GOD we have to speedily execute it—accordingly please check whether you have
any unrepented sins—
Ec 8:11-- Because sentence
against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons
of men is fully set in them to do evil.
AT LEAST NOW, WE Gentile Assembly
SHOULD EXAMINE ALL WHO COME TO WORSHIP THE TRUE LORD GOD AMIDST US.
When we had said so and someone comes
hiding his/her sins to worship before the LORD GOD we hand him/her to the LORD
GOD to deal with, and He who knows the hearts of men will chasten and punish
him/her for such iniquities!
This is a time God is visiting His
peoples' sins—that means He is correcting them by punishing the
sinners—remember God loves a sinner, but not his sins—sins have to be exposed and sinner be punished
so that iniquity will be wiped out from among His people—levites—the ministry
will be handled first!
Gentile Assembly also are considered
levites and priests-we had explained!--- Isa 66:21 ----Eze 44:15 "But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who
kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of
Israel went astray from Me--
Jer 14:10 -- Thus saith the LORD unto
this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their
feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Ho 8:13 --They sacrifice flesh for the
sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their
iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
When you sin—you are in
spiritual Egypt. From there God will have to clean and take them—until they
repent they will be in spiritual Egypt!
—Punishments will come so that all will fear the LORD GOD!
Read—""summary of how PCG
became Babylonian"--- http://www.gentileassembly.org/
Remember it is a very
easy thing to humble before God and correct your sin---but it will be hard to
go through the punishments! Nobody likes to be exposed, but it will happen! PCG
sins were exposed by a verbal blast from Gentile Assembly and by others in the
Internet as God made it to happen!
La 2:16--All your enemies have opened
their mouth against you;
Ps 10:11-- He hath said in his heart,
God hath forgotten: He hideth His face; He will never see it.
Ps
50:22-- Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces,
and there be none to deliver.
WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE FORGET
GOD—HE MIGHT TEAR YOU IN PIECES—people made a covenant with God, and He is true
to the promise He made, and He expects us to also be true to Him!
Mic 6: 13-- Therefore also will I make thee sick in
smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
When you
are made to know your sins—you have the only hope –the HOPE OF SALVATION
THROUGH THE MERCY OF JESUS CHRIST---HIS PURE BLOOD ALONE CAN SAVE YOU AS GOD
HAS GIVEN A CHANCE! –GOD DOES NOT DELIGHT IN PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REPENT!
GOD NEEDS TOUGH PEOPLE
–STRONG IN SPIRIT—TO REPENT AND COULD HUMBLE THEMSELVES TO OBEY GOD! Remember
David the king of Israel repented mightily of his sin of committing
adultery—whatever the sin is—it is a trial for you—you have to overcome by
repenting! Pray and ask God to help you—HE IS A MARVELOUS HELPER! THE HOLY
SPIRIT WILL HELP YOU!
Lu 9:62-- But Jesus said
to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is
fit for the kingdom of God."
GOD NEEDS TO KNOW PERFECTLY THAT WE DO
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WITH THE FEAR OF GOD!
Pr 16:17 - The highway of the upright
is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Isa 1:16 - Wash you, make you clean;
put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Ro 12:9--Let love be without
dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.-- Tit
2:12- Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
THE DAYS ARE AT
HAND WHEN MOST OF THE WORDS ARE FULFILLING ACCORDING TO LK 21: 12—AND—
THE
RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST IS AT HAND—DO NOT PUT AWAY THESE TIMES –WHEN WE SEE THE
SHORT WORK OF THE LORD GOD HOW CAN ANYONE PUT IT OFF?
Am 6:3 --Ye that put far away the evil
day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
HOPE FOR THE RETURN OF THE
SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST—IF ANY MAN SPEAK OTHERWISE REBUKE WITH ALL AUTHORITY--
TIT. 2: 13-15-- Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;--14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem
us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of
good works.--15 --These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee.
PCG MINISTRY IS PUTTING IT
OFF AS THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT Revelation 11: 2 HAD STARTED IT'S WORK WHEN
Revelation 11: 1 WORK OF THEIRS FAILED.
They
should know that God would go ahead with the next work, as all words will
fulfill to the jot!
Isa 26:10-- Let favour be shewed to the
wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he
deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.---THIS VERSE SHOWS WE
SHOULD NOT SHOW FAVOUR TO SINNERS AS HE MIGHT CONTINUE IN SINS AND WILL NOT SEE
THE MAJESTY OF THE LORD GOD!
IF YOU SHOW FAVOUR TO THE
SINNERS THEY WILL NOT LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS! SO IF WE DO NOT MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND
THEIR SINS WE WILL DO HARM TO THEM---THEREFORE SINNERS SHOULD BE REBUKED!
The sinners should be made known of their sins and helped to come to
repentance!
The sinners can also lead the
unsuspecting brethren to sin too! When we do not punish the sinners they will
not learn to do righteousness. He also will sin more—and God will hide from him
and therefore he will not see the majesty of the LORD GOD. Moreover the house of prayer
would be defiled. WE CANNOT ALLOW SUCH SITUATIONS! Whatever the size of
the sin is---sins should be repented and fruits of repentance should be seen.
WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW SINNERS
TO GO ON SINNING—BUT
REPROVE THE SINNERS AND SHOW THEM THEIR GUILT!
Mr 9:50 "Salt is good, but if the salt loses its
flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one
another."
Ps 50:23 --Whoso offereth
praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I
shew the salvation of God.
CONVERSATIONS NOT
SUITABLE AMONG BRETHREN--- 2Ti 2:16-- But shun profane and idle babblings, for
they will increase to more ungodliness.
We are admonished to leave
Egypt---which means leave spiritual sins and come to the feast of
tabernacles---
Zec 14:18-- If the family of Egypt will
not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the
plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles.
That verse signifies to the fact that
all spiritual Israel ---including us should leave sins and come to the Holy
Mountain of God. God is Holy and we are expected to be Holy—WE ARE EXPECTED TO
COME AFTER REPENTING!
1Pe 1:16-- because it is
written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
Gentile Assembly has no right or we are
not given license to sin and remain in the assembly. We are responsible for
what we do and how we do the law---
Lu 6:46 "But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,'
and do not do the things which I say?
Therefore the gentile assembly condemns
all ungodly acts.
Remember brethren we are at the
doors---and the LORD GOD should find us as doers of the word!
Lu 12: 47 "And that servant who knew his master's
will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten
with many stripes.
ACCORDINGLY---PCG leader has got many
stripes in the form of verbal blasts just as he prophesied in his booklet of
Habakkuk!
Isa 1:13-- Bring no more
futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the
Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies––I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred
meeting.
This means the sanctuary whether it is
of Israel or Gentile Assembly HAS TO BE PURE AND HOLY!
Therefore let us have the mind of Christ---
Php 2:5-- Let this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus,
1Co 1:10 --Now I plead with you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same
thing, and that there be no
divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the
same judgment.
Php 1:27-- Only let your conduct be
worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am
absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the gospel,
Following are some common iniquities
that we have heard--Please make it sure that you are not defiled by these---and please give us
the assurance that you had corrected those sins--
(Ac 8:23 "For I see that you are poisoned by
bitterness and bound by iniquity.")
Any works of flesh that are mentioned
in Gal 5: 19-21---
Gal 5:19—21---- Now the works of the
flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I
have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God." (Ga 5:19-21 AV)
It is very plain that sinners do not
inherit the kingdom of God!
We have to even hate the garment
defiled by flesh-- Jude 1:23
PERILOUS TIMES DURING LAST DAYS –if anyone
has these traits—get rid of them!
2 TIM 3: 1-5----This know also, that in
the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
THE WORD WARNS US TO AVOID THOSE WHO
WALK UNGODLY!
TIT 3: 9 --But avoid foolish questions,
and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are
unprofitable and vain.--- 10 A man that
is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;---11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted,
and sinneth, being
condemned of himself.
Gal 5: 22-- But the fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23-- Meekness, temperance: against such
there is no law.
24-- And they that are Christ's have
crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25-- If we live in the Spirit, let us
also walk in the Spirit.
26-- Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one
another, envying one another.
HOW SHOULD TRUE CHRSITIANS LOOK AT
SINNERS?
We do not condemn the
sinner—but the sins---and as the LORD GOD is ready to forgive and we
have the hope in the LORD GOD ---we should EDIFY one another—that is the
attitude we should have for our brethren—BUT AT THE SAME TIME SINNERS WHO
CONTINUE TO SIN SHOULD BE REBUKED AND IF THEY DO NOT CORRECT THEMSELVES SHOULD
BE AVOIDED UNTIL THEY TURN TO THE LORD GOD BY REPENTING! NEVER BELIEVE ANYONE
UNLESS THE WORD CONFIRMS WHAT THEY SAY! –Jeremiah 17: 5 –THE LORD GOD GIVES YOU
TEACHERS, BUT THEY SHOULD TEACH FROM THE WORD—ONE CANNOT TELL THEIR OWN THINGS!
You should remember the
locusts explained by H W Armstrong was not biblical! Place of safety
explanations of H W Armstrong and Gerald Flurry are not biblical! HOW COULD ONE
TRUST THESE SERVANTS OF GOD? ---IF ONLY THEY ARE SUPPORTED WITH THE WORD!
EDIFY BUT NOT DESTROY--
2 CO. 13: 10-- Therefore I write these
things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to
the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
THE LORD GOD GAVE AN
EXAMPLE—HE WENT AFTER THE LOST SHEEP LEAVING THE NINETY-NINE!
Lu 15:4 "What man of you, having a hundred
sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety–nine in the
wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
Lu 15:7 "I say to you that
likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety–nine just persons who need no repentance.
Ps 130:4 -- there is
forgiveness with You that You may be feared.
Da 9:9 "To the Lord our God belong mercy and
forgiveness,
Ac 26:18 'to open their eyes, in order to turn them
from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'
Eph 1:7-- In Him we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
THOSE WHO ARE IN DARKNESS—are under the
power of Satan—they have to receive forgiveness from God ---and they are
sleeping as it is their night and also they are drunk!—virgins had no oil in
the night!
1Th 5:7 --For those who
sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at
night.----
TO WHOM WILL DARKNESS COME?
Mic 3:6 "Therefore you shall have night without
vision, And you shall have darkness without divination; The sun shall go down on the
prophets, And the day shall be dark for them.
Isa 45:3-- I will give you
the treasures of darkness-- Isa 47:5
"Sit in silence, and go into darkness--- you shall no
longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms.,
Jer 13:13-- Thus says the
LORD: "Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land––even the
kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem––with drunkenness!
THEREFORE PROPHET, PRIESTS OF DAVID'S
THRONE ARE IN THE DARK—NIGHT—SLEEPING, AND DRUNK ---WHICH MEANS THEY ARE UNDER
THE POWER OF SATAN!
THEY HAVE TO RECEIVE FORGIVENESS FROM
THE LORD GOD!
Gerald Flurry claimed that
PCG is David's throne and that they have an enormous responsibility---but they
failed in Revelation 11: 1 and thus the Revelation 11: 2 Gentile Assembly
entered serving David's throne as in Zech 12: 8—little ones working as thousands!
THIS IS THE LORD GOD'S WORK!
FREE GIFT OF JUSTIFICATION TO ALL SINNERS--
ROM 5: "15-19--- But not as the
offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be
dead, much more the grace
of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath
abounded unto many. 16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is]
the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many
offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the
offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the
free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous."
Gal.
6: 1 ---Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual,
restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou
also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and
so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when
he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work,
and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own
burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that
teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not." (Ga 6:1-9 AV)
10 --As
we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto
them who are of the household of faith.
The good LORD GOD wants us to live in
harmony –we should correct any of our flaws---DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD!
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOUR SELF---
Eph 4:31--Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking be put away
from you, with all malice.
Heb 12:15---looking carefully lest
anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness
springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
Jas 5:9
--Do not grumble
against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the
Judge is standing at the door!
1 PET. 5: 8 -- Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour.
9 --Resist him, steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the
world.
WE SHOULD CHANGE--
1 Pet. 4: 1 -- Therefore, since Christ
suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he
who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 --that he no longer should live the
rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
3 --For we have spent enough of our
past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles––when we walked in lewdness,
lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.
JESUS CHRIST COMMANDED --LOVE ONE ANOTHER--
Joh 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that
you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Joh 13:35 "By this all will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another."
Joh 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love
one another as I have loved you.
Joh 15:17 "These things I command you, that you love one another.
1
PET. 4: 7 --But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and
watchful in your prayers.
8- And above all things have fervent
love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."
9-- Be hospitable to one another
without grumbling.
10--As each one has received a gift, minister it to one
another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11-- If anyone speaks, let him speak as
the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability
which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus
Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
"12 ¶ Beloved, think it not
strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto
you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that,
when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If
ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of
glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on
your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as]
a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16 Yet if [any man suffer]
as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if
[it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the
gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous
scarcely be saved, where
shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" (1Pe 4:12-18 AV)
19 ---Therefore let those who suffer
according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
SISTERS, BROTHERS, HUSBANDS, WIVES,
SINGLES ALL SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER WITH GODLY LOVE—CHECK WITH THE WORD OF
GOD---
Eph 5:25 ---Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
Col 3:19-- Husbands, love your wives
and do not be bitter toward them.
Eph 5:22-- Wives, submit to your own
husbands, as to the Lord.
Col 3:18 --Wives, submit to your own
husbands, as is fitting in
the Lord.
Husbands and wives have a family and
their love towards one another is different from the love of brothers and
sisters—husbands and wives have different duties as parents too. HUSBANDS AND
WIVES SHOULD HONOUR THEIR MARRIAGE AGREEMENT AND NOT DEFILE THEMSELVES!
Husbands and wives should be very careful that others do not ruin your love for
each other!
Similarly----
Bamah matter is breaking the marriage
covenant between Jesus Christ and the church---and the church getting defiled!
Eph 5:32 --This is a great mystery, but
I speak concerning Christ and the church.
EPH 6:"5 Servants, be obedient to
them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling,
in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the
servants of Christ, doing
the will of God from the heart; 7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to
men: 8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he
receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free." (Eph 6:5-8 AV)
Whatever we do should be done as serving the
LORD GOD!
"10 -- Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high [places]. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;" (Eph 6:10-14 AV)
PAUL ADMONISHED US---
"1 -- If [there be] therefore any
consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having
the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. 3 [Let] nothing [be done]
through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but
every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus:" (Php 2:1-5 AV)
OUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
GOD!
1Co 6:19-- Or do you not know that your
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,
and you are not your own?
2Co
6:16 --And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?
For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell
in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My
people."
WE CANNOT MURMUR OR DISPUTE GOD'S
WORDS--
"14 -- Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in
the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in
the world; 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of
Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain." (Php
2:14-16 AV)
DO
NOT PUT AWAY THE LORD GOD'S COMING---
2 Pet 3: 3 -- knowing this first: that
scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,
4 ----and saying, "Where
is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
THE SCOFFERS PUT AWAY HIS COMING INTO A FAR AWAY DATE!
THERE ARE SCOFFERS AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE! THAT IS SPEAKING AGAINST GOD! –It is serious when you tell so to the other brethren and pollute
their minds too—defiling the temple of God –our own spiritual bodies!
How could one put off LORD
GOD'S COMING when prophecies are fulfilling very fast? This is their carnal
minds that are working through their own lusts!
TO THOSE WHO SAY SO--—HERE IS
THE ANSWER FROM THE LORD GOD---
Eze 12:22 "Son of man, what is this proverb that
you people have about the land of Israel, which says, 'The days are prolonged,
and every vision fails'?
Eze 12:23 "Tell them therefore, 'Thus says the
Lord GOD: "I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it
as a proverb in Israel." But say to them, "The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every
vision.----24 "For no more
shall there be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of
Israel.-----25 "For I am the LORD. I speak, and the word
which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your
days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it," says the
Lord GOD.'"
AND WE SEE THE WORDS COMING TO PASS!
WHEN WE WERE ONCE JUSTIFIED
WE SHOULD NOT BE FOUND SINNING AGAIN AS WE SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF
GOD!
1Co 6:9 --- Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10-- Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.
1Co 6:11 --And such were some of you:
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by
the Spirit of our God.
NOT AS OTHER GENTILES
Eph 4:17 -- This I say therefore, and
testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their
mind,
Eph 4:22-- That ye put off concerning
the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts;
1Pe 4:2 --That he no longer should live
the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
We should not be saying we
could have done better as others if we were not in church---if we say so it is
because we have got offended by being in the church!
If we love Christ and do
what He says---
Ro 8:39 ---nor height nor
depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
GOD'S SERVANTS--
Jn 13: 20 --Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and he that receiveth Me
receiveth Him that sent Me.
GOD ALWAYS GIVE HIS SERVANTS AS
TEACHERS TO GOD'S PEOPLE---THEN YOU MUST RECEIVE THEM—THAT IS LISTEN TO WHAT
THEY SAY CHECKING WITH THE WORDS OF GOD!
More comforting words---
Ga 5:6-- For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
Eph 3:17-- that Christ may dwell in
your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 4:15-- but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in
all things into Him who is the head––Christ––
Eph 5:2-- And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us
and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet–smelling aroma.
Eph 6:24--- Grace be with all those who
love our Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity. Amen.
Php 2:1 --Therefore if there is any
consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any affection and mercy,
Col 1:4 --since we heard of your faith
in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;
Col 2:2--- that their hearts may be
encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the
full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both
of the Father and of Christ,
Jude 1:21-- keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
2Jo 1:3 --Grace, mercy, and peace will
be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the
Father, in truth and love.
Ps. 128--1 --- A Song of degrees.
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.-- 4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed
that feareth the LORD.
5
--The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of
Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
WHEN YOU COME TO THE FEAST---you should
be able to worship LORD GOD in sincerity and in truth --for the LORD GOD is
seeking for such! --1Co 5:8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
REPENTANCE IS THE
ANSWER IF YOUR HEART CONDEMNS YOU WHICH THE LORD GOD KNOWS---
1Jo 3:20 --For if our heart condemn us,
God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
1Jo
3:21-- Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
THEREBY WE KNOW THAT WE ARE OF THE TRUTH!
1Jo 3:19 ---And hereby we know that we
are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
Please
examine yourselves before the FEAST OF TABERNACLES—and the FASTS will be very
beneficial for each one of us.
THE
LORD GOD IS ACTING TO WIPE OUT SINNERS FROM Zion AND HE HAS CHOSEN TO PUNISH
ALL EVILDOERS! Any among
Gentile Assembly too can get into this category if they neglect the great
salvation offered to them!
Ps. 125: 5 --As for such as
turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity:
but peace shall be upon Israel.
Gills explain --which is true----Ver.
5. As for such who turn
aside unto their crooked ways, ---The ways of sin, immorality, or error;
which are crooked ways, not
agreeing with the word of God, the rule of faith and practice. This seems to design not
openly profane sinners, who have always lived in a course of sin and wickedness; but carnal professors, who, through
affliction and persecution because of the word, are offended, and desert
the good ways of God; and turn from the holy commandment,
word, and ordinances, they have professionally embraced;
THIS IS
ONE THING THAT HAD HAPPENED AT Bamah—THE CARNAL PROFESSORS (those who profess
carnal things) TURN FROM THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD!)
The LORD GOD will punish these people
who grumble that things are not working according to the word! They will get
the due punishment as for the sinners!
BUT PEACE SHALL BE UPON
THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL WHEN THEY REPENT!
LET US PRAY TOGETHER AND
GLORIFY OUR LORD GOD FOR HE ALONE COULD STRENGHTEN OUR INNERMAN--
"14 -- For this cause I bow my
knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in
heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ
may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length,
and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him
that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him [be] glory in the church
by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." (Eph
3:14-21 AV)
Zech
8 is a chapter that describes that the LORD GOD will establish spiritual
Jerusalem –and the prophets today (Re.11: 10) are saying that the temple might
be built—(vs.9)—and the residue which is not the
house of Judah and house of Israel, but the remnant that came out of house of
Judah which we had explained as the Gentile Assembly are prosperous—
12-- For the seed shall be prosperous;
the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the
heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to
possess all these things.
AND THROUGH THE WORK OF THE REMNANT
HOUSES OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH WILL BE SAVED.
Zech 8: 13 ---And it shall come to
pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of
Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your
hands be strong.
15
--So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the
house of Judah: fear ye not.
GENTILE ASSEMBLY HAS TO TAKE THE
PLEASANT MESSAGES TO GOD'S PEOPLE AND BEFORE THEY TAKE THE MESSAGES TO
OTHERS--- GENTILES HAVE TO CORRECT THEMSELVES along with THE LITTLE
SANCTUARIES.
16 --These are the things that ye shall
do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of
truth and peace in your gates:
17--- And let none of you imagine evil
in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are
things that I hate, saith the LORD.
THIS IS THE TIME WE ARE EXPECTED TO DO THE
FASTS AND BE JOYFUL—THEY WILL BE CHEERFUL FEASTS AND THE TIME TO LOVE PEACE AND
TRUTH—WE HAD EXPLAINED!
19 --Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The
fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the
seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and
gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
Read---"fast of the fifth"---http://www.gentileassembly.org/
So we see that it is we who are doing these fasts and these verses are
written concerning us—
And here is prophecy that we
gentiles will come from many cities to pray before the LORD GOD!
Zech. 8: 20 --Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many
cities:
21-- And the inhabitants of one city
shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to
seek the LORD of hosts: I
will go also.
Brethren, what a joy that the
LORD GOD knows your hearts—have not some of you told us your great desire to
come to meet in a place wherever we tell you---in fact most of you wait for
that—they simply love the LORD GOD and His present truth! They cannot wait to
hear new things! They cannot wait to meet God's people! How much we who have
the same mind in Christ love to meet one another! –TO PRAY BEFORE THE LORD GOD!
I KNOW SOME WHO TELL THE
OTHERS—"LETS GO—I WILL GO ALSO"! See how the exact words are written?
Zech 8: 22-- Yea, many people and
strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray
before the LORD.
(These are the nations to
which Israel became a mockery--Eze 36:4—but as in Zech 8 these nations became the nations that
has to fast and pray for the return of the captivity of Israel.)
God considers one little one
as a thousand –and a small
one as a nation--Isa 60:22 --A little one shall become a thousand, And a
small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will hasten it in its
time."
Isaiah 60 speaks of the gentiles again
and it is the gentile men appointed for the present times that appear as nations!
AS SUCH---
Zech 8: 22-- Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of
hosts in Jerusalem,
and to pray before the LORD. —STRONG
NATIONS---THE SMALL ONES!
WHEN THESE SMALL ONES OF THE
GENTILES COME TO PRAY –THEY ARE STRONG NATIONS WHO COME TO SEEK
THE LORD GOD IN JERUSALEM---
When you say it is Jerusalem
it is coming to the feast of the LORD GOD —in the history all were supposed to
come to Jerusalem for the feast! Even in future they are to come to
Jerusalem—Zech 14: 17----
So now is the spiritual
Jerusalem that one has to go to the feast—that is the appointed place to go to
keep the feast!
SO THE ABOVE VERSE MAKES IT
CLEAR THAT THE GENTILES ARE COMING TO THE FEAST TO PRAY AND TO SEEK THE LORD
GOD. THEY ARE AS STRONG NATIONS!
THEY ARE FEW—BUT STRONG NATIONS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD GOD! AND THEY COME TO PRAY AS THEIR FUNCTION NOW IS TO PRAY FOR THE
CAPTIVES.
NOW LET US SEE THE NEXT VERSE—
ZECH 8: 23 --Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you:
for we have heard that God
is with you.
THIS
LITTLE CONGREGATION OF Gentile Assembly CONSISTS OF TWELVE MEMBERS---two
gentile witnesses bring the messages of God—and that leaves ten men!
AND
THESE TEN MEN ARE FROM NATIONS THAT SPEAK SIX LANGUAGES!
AND
THEY TAKE HOLD OF GARMENTS OF THE SPIRITUAL Jews who work as scribes of the
LORD GOD!!
They
acknowledge the fact that the two witnesses have the present truth –they know
that these witnesses stand before the God of the whole earth—Re.11: 4—therefore
they come with us! They keep feast with us!
Zech
8: 23------------Saying, We will go with you:
for we have heard that God
is with you.
Gills
commentary says about these people---
Saying, We
will go with you; either with Christ, resolving
to follow Him whithersoever He goes; to hold to Him the Head; to abide by His
truths and ordinances; to walk on in His ways, whatever they suffer for His
name's sake: or with His ministers and people, determining to go along
and join with them in all religious exercises; see #Ru 1:16:
For we have heard [that] God is with
you: with Christ, as he always was;
in the council and covenant of grace before time, and at the beginning of time
to His incarnation; and during His state of humiliation, and in his sufferings
and death; and now in his state of exaltation; hence his name
"Ithiel," God with me, #Pr 30:1 Joh 1:1 8:29 16:32 or with his
ministers and people, which he has promised to be unto the end of the world;
and this the Gentiles heard and understood, by the power that went along
with their ministry, to the conversion of multitudes of sinners; and by the
miracles which they wrought, for the confirmation of the doctrines they
delivered.
Ps 94:10-- He who instructs
the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?
Jesus Christ who is the Master of
Gentile Assembly corrects it's members too—He teaches through signs—He chastens
when necessary---and WE SHOULD LEARN AND CHANGE OUR WAYS!
As we had explained this is the time
that He corrects, chastens in love—if He does not correct we shall die the
eternal death—therefore we
had better find our sins and repent!
When
we do so our assembly will be a beautiful altar to pray as the house of prayer
for God!
Jas 5:16 --Confess your
trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
NOW PCG AND ANYONE WHO UPHOLDS H W
Armstrong SHOULD GIVE UP THAT IDOL AS GOD CONSIDERS H W Armstrong AS AN IDOL OF
PCG! WE HAD EXPLAINED!
And
if God does not recognize H W Armstrong being exalted—we should give up that
completely!
Isa 48:11-- For My own
sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I
will not give My glory to another.
We had explained these things many a
time.
If somebody profaned God's
name---we as God's people should not exalt that somebody in any way! We should
count that somebody as God's enemy!
It is PCG that exalts H W
Armstrong! One has to give up PCG Laodecean ways to return to the LORD GOD!
One has to give up completely
any parts of the false oath or otherwise if a bitter root is left—IT WILL GROW!
IT CAN GROW WITHOUT ANYONE'S
KNOWLEDGE!
A bitter root God hates is
exalting man in God's land!
ZECH 8: 17-- And let none
of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false
oath: for all these are
things that I hate, saith the LORD.
According to this verse—in
the oath we had taken it is to exalt God—then we would love a false oath if we
exalt H W Armstrong! If we make others exalt H W Armstrong—then we are planning
evil against our neighbor! PCG is doing that—they plan evil against the new
converts as they are not suspecting the leaders of PCG!
That is why the darlings of
their womb are killed!
Ho 9:16--- Ephraim is stricken, Their
root is dried up; They shall bear no fruit. Yes, were they to bear children, I
would kill the darlings of their womb."
These have to happen among God's
people—one has to watch!
BUT
JESUS CHRIST HAS CHOSEN THESE DAYS TO DEAL WITH SINS—TO ERADICATE—OR WIPE OUT
SINS—WIPE OUT WICKEDNESS FROM THE LAND—
Zec 13:1 "In that day a fountain shall be opened
for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
THE
FOUNTAIN COMES FOR PURIFICATION OF SINS AND UNCLEANNESS—THE WHOLE LAND IS
UNCLEAN!
THEREFORE
HE WILL CHASTEN AND PUNISH TOO!
BUT ALL HAVE TO COME IN PURENESS—
Isaiah 35; 8-- And an highway shall be
there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it;
2 Pet 3: 9 --The Lord is not slack
concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward
us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
If you have a bitter root it will grow until you are in trouble—when
you know your bitter root—give it up altogether! THAT IS A LESSON TO LEARN!
We do not encourage anyone
who rejects to repent and continue in sin to be in our house of prayer! ALL
HAVE TO REPENT –NOBODY
SHOULD PERISH AS THE LORD GOD HAS GIVEN HOPE TO EVERYBODY! HE IS
LONGSUFFERING TOWARDS US! LET US PRAY FOR ALL BRETHREN IN ASSEMBLY AND AMONG
SPIRITUAL ISRAEL TO PUT SIN OUT OF THEIR LIVES! WE SHOULD THRIVE TO BECCOME
SILVER AND GOLD!
Brethren could seek counselling –we do
not suspend members for asking questions—in such a manner we could preserve the
beauty of the altar, and could be sure of our prayers that it will reach God!
We should take Ezra's time as an example.
God does not want to disfellowship--
Eze 45:9 --Thus says the Lord GOD:
"Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute
justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people," says the
Lord GOD.
WHAT IF THERE ARE SINNERS AMONG US—HOW
SHOULD WE HANDLE?
REBUKE THE
SINNERS--
1 TIM 5: 20, 21--- 20 --Them that sin rebuke before all, that
others also may fear.--21 --I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before
another, doing nothing by partiality.
SINNERS TO BE COUNSELLED GENTLY--
2 TIM 2: "24-- And the servant
of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to
teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give
them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And [that] they may
recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him
at his will." (2Ti 2:24-26)
THE SINNER SHOULD REPENT OF HIS SIN—ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTHS OF GOD—AND
BELIEVE THAT THE DEVIL HAD TAKEN CONTROL OF HIM! HE SHOULD LEARN TO FEAR THE
ETERNAL WHO ALONE COULD SAVE HIM!
SINNERS SHOULD OBEY THE
JUDGES OR TEACHERS WHOM GOD HAD GIVEN THEM–SINNERS TO BE EDUCATED IN GODLY
WAYS--
"1 ¶ Put them in mind to be
subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all
meekness unto all men. 3 For
we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and]
hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love
of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which
we have done, but
according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and
renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our Saviour; 7 That
being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life. 8 [This is] a faithful saying, and these things I will
that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.
These things are good and profitable unto men." (Tit 3:1-8 AV)
THOSE WHO LABOUR SHOULD BE
ESTEEMED HIGHLY AND THEY SHOULD WARN THAT ARE UNRULY---comfort the
feeble minded—and so on--
1 THES. 5: 11-15--- "11 --
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye
do. 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and
are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And to esteem them very highly
in love for their work's sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves. 14 Now we
exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded,
support the weak, be patient toward all [men]. 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any [man];
but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all
[men]."
OBEY THOSE WHO HAVE RULE OVER YOU---
HEB. 13: 17-- Obey them that have the
rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they
that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for
that is unprofitable for you.
WE MAY HAVE HEAVINESS IN MANIFOLD TEMPTATIONS—TO
TRY OUR FAITH—IF WE PATIENTLY GO THROUGH THEM IT IS BETTER THAN GETTING GOLD--
6 -- Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though
now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ:" (1Pe 1:6-7
GILLS COMM. EXPLAINS HEAVINESS---
sorrowful, and heavy, or "heavy" with sorrow: the cause of this
heaviness is not only indwelling corruptions, the hidings of God's face, and
the temptations of Satan, but afflictions and persecutions, which are here
meant by "manifold temptations";--tried Abraham—Job-- now such
exercises are called, from the quality of them, temptations, or trials; because
they try the hearts, principles, and graces of them that believe, and
particularly their faith hereafter mentioned; and from the quantity of them,
they are said to be various; they are of different sorts; as reproach,
imprisonment, loss of goods, and death itself in divers shapes; and are more or
less at different times and ages; and are exercised on various persons: and are sometimes very heavy,
and grievous to be borne, and cause great heaviness and sorrow of heart; ---though
they are great tribulations in themselves, through and out of which the people of God come to the
kingdom;--- and then it is only "now," for the present time,
and but for a short time--- by the will of God, who has appointed them, and
therefore must be, and ought to be, quietly submitted to, and patiently borne,
on that consideration; and are also necessary, on account of Christ the head, to whom there must be a
conformity of his members; and likewise on their own account; for the humbling of their souls;
for the weaning of them from the things of this world; for the
restraining, subduing, and keeping under the corruptions of their nature;
and for the trial of grace: and it is only "if," and when there is a
necessity for them, that they are in heaviness by them; otherwise God does not delight to afflict and
grieve the children of men, and much less His own; see #La 3:33 so the
Jews say {y}, that Kruwh, "there was a necessity" of God's tempting
Abraham as He did, to
humble and purify him.
BRETHREN WE ARE CALLED TO BE
PURE VESSELS SO THAT OUR PRAYERS WILL HAVE A SWEET AROMA TO THE LORD GOD!
Gentile Assembly has to sow in tears—
Joh 16:20-- Verily, verily, I say unto
you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall
be sorrowful, but your
sorrow shall be turned into joy.
Joh 16:21--- A woman when she is in
travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered
of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born
into the world.
LIKEWISE WHEN THE CAPTIVITY
IS MADE CAPTIVE AND THE SPIRITUAL CHILDREN ARE BORN WE SHALL HAVE JOY!
Psalm 126---
"1 -- A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the
captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2 Then was our mouth
filled with laughter,
and our tongue with
singing: then said they
among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3 The LORD
hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad."
We of Gentile Assembly are
sowing in sorrow—but when the LORD GOD turns the captivity –it will be as a
dream—WE SHALL BE HAPPY—WE SHALL LAUGH! SING—THEN WE ARE GLAD SHOUTING FOR JOY
THAT HE HAD DONE MARVELOUS THINGS IN OUR MIDST!
"Psalm 126: 4 --Turn again our
captivity, O LORD, as the streams
in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth
and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
[with him]." (Ps 126:1-6 AV)
IN THE ABOVE VERSE ISRAEL
SAYS—"TURN AGAIN OUR CAPTIVITY" –and FOR THEM TO BE LIKE THE STREAMS
OF THE SOUTH—LIKE THE STREAMS OF THE COASTLANDS—OF Gentile Assembly! WE HAD
EXPLAINED THAT WE ARE STREAMS OF COASTLANDS-AND WE ARE OF SOUTH----
Read---"push with
horns" ---"Queen of South finished her judgements and condemned the
house of Israel"----http://www.gentileassembly.org/
Vs. 6---the Gentile Assembly
is weeping and bearing the seeds now—but there is no doubt—they will rejoice,
with their LORD GOD. They bring the sheaves with Him—the spiritual harvest will
be offered rejoicing with their LORD GOD!
Mic 4: 12--For He will gather them like
sheaves to the threshing floor.---THE PCG WAS LIKE
SHEAVES IN THE THRESHING FLOOR WHICH GOD GATHERED AND GAVE US TO BE WORKED
UPON!
Zec 12:6 "In that day I
will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a
fiery torch in the sheaves; they
shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but
Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place––Jerusalem.
We had explained that Gentile
Assembly is working as David and that they are working as rulers in Judah as
they were not taken into captivity—so this verse says they are like a fiery
torch in the sheaves---they burn the sheaves---in other places the Gentile
Assembly witnesses are spoken as women who set fire---they burn—melt in the
fire to purify the ministry—and thus JERUSALEM SHALL BE INHABITED AGAIN!
BRETHREN, WE ARE SANCTIFIED TO BE IN
THE HOUSE OF PRAYER AND WE SHOULD REJOICE AND DO AS HE SAYS!
PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL BRETHREN FOR THEIR
REPENTANCE—PRAY THAT THE LORD GOD WILL MAKE US KNOW OUR SINS SO THAT WE COULD
REPENT OF THEM DURING THE FASTS THAT ARE UPCOMING WHICH WILL GIVE US JOY AND
WILL GIVE JOY TO THE LORD GOD WHEN HE SEES THAT WE ARE THRIVING TO BECOME
SILVER AND GOLD TO HIM!!
THEN WE JOIN IN TO MEET DURING THE
FEAST OF TABERNACLES AND OUR PRAYERS WOULD BE PURE SACRIFICES TO THE LORD GOD!
PRAISE BE TO THE LORD GOD, WHO DOES
WONDERS AND GIVES US SIGNS ESSENTIAL FOR THE WORK. AMEN.
