Who we are
After the true gospel was preached to almost every nation on the earth (and this being one of the signs of the end – see Matt. 24:14), after the Berlin wall fell and German and Europe as a whole re-united (making possible the full formation of the present European union), the church of God begun to speculate about the coming of God’s Kingdom to be very near, probably within the next fifteen to twenty years after Europe was reunited, and Russia collapsed.
All this was based on the knowledge that, this European Union is the resurrection of the olden days Roman Empire, which was prophesied to stand around the days of Christ’s second return, for about it, Daniel wrote “And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven shall establish a kingdom which shall never be destroyed nor its sovereignty be left to others, but it shall stand forever – Dan. 2:44”.
Since the fall of the Berlin wall and the unification of Europe, its now twenty six years on, and Christ has not returned. What happened? Ok, full revival is not complete as yet.
Even then, as the reunion continues, something else about the Church had to happen, going hand in hand with the revival.
THE FALLING AWAY
The above prophesies were being fulfilled and proclaimed by the church at a time when it was blameless, after being restored to its true foundation and forming the Philadelphian era – see Rev. 3:9-11. But the church forgets one very important prophecy about itself which says; “we beg you brethren not to be quickly shaken in mind nor excited —– to the effect that the day of the lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way: for the day will not come except the rebellion (falling from the foundation) comes first —- 2 Thes. 2:1-3”.
This prophesy was fulfilled before our own eyes, for after sometime, the once united, one-minded, one bodied, one spirit- bound, one –aimed- church of God split into hundreds of smaller groups, with each claiming to be the true church. We know very well that it is Satan who causes divisions, disagreements and the like for, “in the last times there will be scoffers (now), following their own ungodly passions: it is these who set up those divisions, worldly people, devoid of the spirit – Jude 18-19: Brethren, these present divisions came as a result of the falling away, and God allowed it for some good reason. Which?” For there must be divisions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be known – 1 cor. 11:19”.
How do divisions reveal the genuine true members of God’s church? The church of God is built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, all standing on Christ – Eph.2:20. This foundation is forever fixed. It can’t be changed nor amended in any way.
It is the one on which the church was restored. So, as the majority fell away, those who trust God and His word were supposed to remain there. They follow the guidance of the spirit in all the truth which is God’s word, not leaders or the multitudes.
But sad to say, instead of standing firm on that unchangeable foundation, they were taken unawares and went to captivity, getting scattered among these Satan- introduced groups.
This happened because the church missed another warning concerning these scoffers, for our lord had forewarned saying “fierce wolves will (have) come in among you not sparing the flock. And from among yourselves will(have)arise(n) men, speaking perverse things, and they will (have) drawn away the disciples after them. Act.20:29-30”.
By so doing Satan has succeeded in weakening the power of the saints, with two or three in restored Church, five or four in united Church, another three in living Church, and with the human – made fences which deters them from fellowshipping with one another due to group differences, and with these men who pull disciples to themselves for personal gains, insisting on the followers not to fellowship with members of other groups, the true spiritual members are there scattered , in these spiritual Babylonian groups, thirsting for the unpolluted truth. But for fear of standing alone (though with Christ), they are there chocking, with their spiritual conditions diminishing because they are among a people whose aim is not God’s kingdom but self gain.
THE ANGELS MESSAGE
Since Christ can’t allow His church to be prevailed upon by the gates of hell, He has hereby risen with his voice loud and clear.
As He has done to all the other church eras in the past, sending a warning through an angelic messenger, so, He is doing to this last one now.
What you are reading in this message is that warning voice of Christ our Savior. Before we go into the details of the warning, there is a point of caution here.
Just because I have said I am proclaiming that warning message by the seventh angel to the church of Laodicea, swords are now drawn, ready to fight and oppose me. All these groups will unite against me through their difference. You will hear some say; “he means he is the only true church?” others; “he is calling himself the angel to the Leodicean church;” and the likes. All this will be said because Satan doesn’t want us to go back to the true foundation.
But the truth is, I have meant none of the things which they will say.
Christ is the only shepherd, the only one who can gather the church to its foundation and the only one who will build it to the end.” His true followers who are now in spiritual Babylon knows His voice – john 10:27”.
Therefore, if you are one of them you will not waste your time thinking about me nor, listening to the propaganda from those who want to mislead you. Your carefulness should be in proving whether this is truly the voice of Christ or not. How do we do that? The word of God (scriptures) is the voice of Christ, for, “this word is the gospel that was preached to you – 1 Pet. 1:25”. Also we need to bear this in mind; that, Christ comes in the flesh through his messengers, for He says; “he who receives you receives me, and he ho receives me receives God – Matt. 10:40”. So now, how will you prove whether it is Christ’s voice speaking in me, and not my own deceitful mind?
The foundation of God’s church from where it has been drawn is His word, which is also Christ’s voice – Eph.2:20.
If you and I obey the unmixed word, it will unite us in Christ – john 1:3,7: Eph4:3-6 Read please. This is how we should prove. “For he whom God has sent, speaks the word of God – john.3:34”. So am I speaking His word and not my own? If yes, then, Christ is speaking to you through me. “He who is of God hears the word of God – john 8:47”. God in Jesus Christ has sent me to pass this warning to his church. I am doing it boldly because those who are his will hear and understand me.
You see? God unites his servants with those who are being served (shepherd & Flock) by his word and not any other form of human persuasion. So now, having this caution in mind, let us go back to the details of the warning.
FLEE FROM BABYLON
“Behold the days are coming says the lord, when it shall no longer be said ,”as the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, as the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries (dispersion or scattering) – Jer.16:14”.
Everything about physical Israel has to do with the church – “the Israel of God – Gal.6:16”. As Israel was from Egypt, so were we at conversion from the world. As Israel was scattered to all parts of the world, so is the church now scattered among many groupings of men. As Israel will be recalled from the scattering, so is the church being recalled through this message from the groups.
Again, the scoffers in an effort to hold you in their grip will say; “how have we strayed? We believe and teach the entire word of God. What is this doomsayer preaching?” but I ask you; “Is it me who is preaching or Christ whom you believe in? Hear what your savior is telling you please. “you are lukewarm (hypocritical), for you say; I am rich, I am prospered, I need nothing. Rev.3:17.”
Yes, we say; “I have been in the church for most of my life. I know the scriptures in and out. Even what this doomsayer is trying to preach is a song I can sing better than Him. I have nothing to repent of”.
Why has the church forgotten its identity ? In any true church of God – gathering, Satan’s agent are the majority. “They profess to know God while they deny Him with their deeds – Tim. 1:16”. They are the likes of the Samaritans who “worshiped the God of Israel (outward show), and also sacrificed to Baal
They have this party spirit which exercises physical goodness and likes the multitude.
The scattered true members have lived among these imposters for so long until they have gotten used to them, and thus, their love for truth has grown cold.
They can freely gossip, commit adultery, get drunk, cheat for the sake of gain, have discriminate treatment for different classes- etc; and still feel justified. Am I saying this on my own? Is it me who is accusing you of being self righteous?
CHRIST DISAPPROVES YOU
For want of fame and support by fellow men, like the physical Israelis, the scattered church members are playing harlotry and they hate correction.
But because Christ doesn’t want to loose us, He is here opening our eyes to our true spiritual condition, Being a calling from Babylon back to the foundation. Against our self righteousness, He says “you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked – Rev. 3:17”.
This is Christ not me. Do you believe him?
For further proof that the church is in spiritual dispersion, lets remember please. For these true Christians to be named church members, Christ proclaimed to us the word of God which is our life and “we received it and knew in truth that God had sent Him – John 17:8”. And again, “but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Himself – Gal.4:14”.
After that “God loved us and He and Christ entered into our hearts and made their dwelling in us – john 14:23”. It at this point that we became children of God, crying Abba (father), we became the church of God – 1Cor. 3:17; 6:19(request for our message, “ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN”
Therefore as long as Christ is not dwelling in us, which is proven by us living according to His word (john.15:10), we are not is His church; we are not on the foundation on which it is built. If this is the case, why are you scoffers accusing me of doom -saying and bragging, when I tell you to repent and come out of these satanic drag-nets? Is it me? Not at all.
Christ is telling us to “buy white garments to cover your nakedness and anoint your eyes that you may see – Rev.3:18”.
See what? Yes, see that we have rejected Christ and thrown Him out of our hearts, and are no longer on the only foundation that confirms us to be the church. This is because right now, Christ is outside our hearts, “standing at the door and knocking – Rev.3:20. Friend don’t accuse me anymore. If you have to accuse anyone, then accuse the Christ whom you profess to believe, for it is He who is speaking here. If you receive Him, don’t think you are receiving me. This is His word.
REGATHERING
Through His proclamation, Christ is restoring His church on to His foundation, calling one from restored church, another from united church, some from living- etc.
As in the same way He began the church by living in the hearts of the members, He wants to restore it by going back there, for He promises; “if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him (compare with john12:23) and he with Me – Rev.3:20”.
Am I campaigning to build a new group in my name? if any one thinks so, then he/she has not understood this warning message.
By obeying this message, each individual makes a personal decision based on the word of God, without thinking of yourself, your friend, or the group you fellowship in, for if we will flee from Babylon successfully, we must like Moses; “leave these groups (Egypt), not being afraid of the anger (nor isolation) of the leaders, enduring as seeing Him (Christ) who is invisible – Heb.11:27”.
This is not possible, if we look on one another; yes if we fear what one will say or feel about us, for; “if we are still pleasing men, we cant be servants of Christ Gal.1:10.” see Luke16:15. Why is Christ insisting on us to leave? As we saw, you can’t serve the interest of a group which has boundaries(man-made), and at the same time serve the interest of Christ, whose word we must fully obey. We will either set ourselves free from this man made boundaries or, be unable to fully obey our master.
If we individually allow Christ in our hearts, He will restore us to His word whereby, “He will cleanse us by the washing of water with the word, and present us blameless to Himself (not any man) – Eph5:26-27”.
Once that happens, since the word of God doesn’t differ with itself, and since it forms the mind of everyone in whom Christ dwells, then the learnt differences of Babylon will be removed, for it will no longer be us but Christ living His life in everyone of us – see Cor.5:15.
Through this mind, Christ is drawing his sheep to himself first, then in him, he will further draw us to one another – “Maintaining the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace —one spirit, one body, one hope, one Lord, one God – Eph.4:3-6.” for we share the one mind of Christ – 1 Cor2:16.
Among these people who He is drawing from Babylon, who are confirmed and proven by His unmixed word, He (not any man) has appointed service men and gifted them with various qualities. Anyone who is led by the spirit is able to notice anyone whom God is working with and so, the called from Babylon will gather where Christ has prepared shepherds, of whom He has commanded saying; “I command you to God and to the word of his grace which is able to build you up, take heed to yourself and to all the flock, in which the holy spirit (not men) has made you guardians, to feed the church of God – Acts 20:32,28”.
Remember we are not campaigning, we are warning whoever is given to understand this voice. For he/she is the only one who is given to join us in the fellowship with the Father and the Son – see 1john.1:3-4. We don’t claim to be the only ones (Endtime Church), whom God has commissioned with this warning message. Rather, by it, we are looking for those of our brothers in Babylon, or who have come out and are already doing it somewhere, for we believe, they are somewhere, and could be, wondering whether there are others given to understand like them.
This message is an invitation for all who are given to understand like us. It is why, the title is,” ABOUT US”. We believe Christ is using this message to gather his flock in Himself, His word.
By heeding to this warning, “the vultures will be gathered where the carcass is- Mat.24:28.” This message is preparing those who will heed for the eternity in the kingdom, for the messenger concludes by this promise, “he who overcomes, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne – Rev.3:21”.
This is what the end time church of God ministry have been send by God to do; to prepare the church for Christ second coming
Are you one of us? Join the march to the kingdom. It’s your savior speaking to you through the, END TIME CHURCH OF GOD.
