THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS EXPLAINED VOLUME 2 ON Sunday, 24th May 2021
AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN THE ALPHA AND OMEGA
9And then wisdom shall be given to the Elect, and they shall all live and never again sin, either through forgetfulness or through pride: But those who are given wisdom shall be humble.
THE ETHIOPIC BOOK OF ENOCH 5:9
GOD IS A BLACK MAN REVEALING HIMSELF WORLDWIDE IN THESE LAST DAYS FROM NIGERIA. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN
-THE SON OF MAN
God is a Nigerian if not… Obasanjo Vanguard Newspaper 2nd July, 2019
“God is a Nigerian because what we have gone through in Nigeria and what we are going through, probably, Nigeria should not be on the map of the world. That’s why I say God is a Nigerian. God has been kind to us; if not, the country would have ceased to exist”.
Why are we feasting in Him? Lo, I believe strongly that the Holy Spirit is here. The Holy Ghost is a human being. He has mouth. He speaks. Is it not true? When He, The Spirit of Truth shall come, One: He will lead you into the Knowledge of all Truths. Take note: He will remind you of all that He has taught you. Is it not true? Good! He will reveal to you things that are yet to come. What is the essence of reminding you of things you were taught in time past? It is to enable you to make necessary corrections if any.

EMERGENCY PUTS A MAN INTO DESPERATION [1]
LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME 3. MOSES’ DEATH IRREVOCABLY DOOMED continued. Moses waited forty years before he approached God with the request to permit him to enter the promised land with Israel. [870]
2. This occurred when he had received God’s command to appoint Joshua as his successor, for he now perceived that God had actually resolved to execute His sentence. [871] Amen!
3. Then he realized, “Oh!, at last, God has decided to execute His sentence which He passed upon me forty years ago.”
4. He heard it, but he thought God forgot. Allah does not forget anything. For forty years, God waited for this man to change; to make a plea for his iniquity. He [God] waited for his reconciliation.
5. I know silly people among us will say, “I have not sinned for forty years. Until I clock forty years.”
6. But you were conceived in iniquity, shaped in iniquity and born into the world full of sin. From the day you were born till today, have you lived right before God.
7. Then something happened. Is it not the foolish person that runs when he is already drenched by the rain?
8. Oh! I thought Daddy was joking when He was saying these things. I never knew that Daddy meant all that he said. Oh! Daddy, please. My father, please. My Father, please.
9. THE GREATEST FAVOUR GOD WILL SHOW YOU IS TO REMIND YOU OF HIS WORDS HE SPOKE TO YOU ON A MATTER AND YOU IGNORED IT, THINKING THAT HE WILL ALWAYS CHIDE.
10. When that repercussion comes for that disobedience, the LORD will abandon you to your fate. F-A-T-E.
11. That is why I speak and tell people, “Do not talk or act or behave in a way that will make THE SON OF MAN to say “One day, you will use lantern to look for Me, and you will never see Me”, for if God says it, it is guaranteed.”
12. A day must come when everything will fail you. Everything means everything. Everything will fail you. The only place you will run to will be to God. Then, you will remember the relationship with God that was strained because of your willful disobedience to His instructions.
13. Begin to see how many people that are rubbing shoulders with God, claiming to be equal with God, and despise His instructions and His Words, even now.
14. When we talk about Moses, you might be thinking he lived his life straight-forwardly like that. Now, you can believe Me that there is no righteous man that sinneth not, but it behooveth on God to call them back. Amen!
15. Now, God commanded him, “Moses! The hour has come for you to hand over this leadership to Joshua, the son of Nun who has been following you, alongside with Caleb all these years right from Egypt down here. I spoke to you in My wrath forty years ago, which you ignored. Now, I have come to implement it.”
16. The Bible said, “Moses now resolved that the Almighty God has come to execute the sentence which he had already passed on him which Moses forgot, for he never took it serious.”
17. He is the LORD God Almighty. That which is pleasing to Him, let Him do it. Will I kill myself for Him? Did he not see all that I have suffered right from Egypt?
18. You suffered from Egypt. He failed to realize that from Egypt, God was there. There was no place they went where God was not there. There was nothing they passed through which God did not pass through, and helped them to see who saw them through.
19. Was He not the One? Without God, was there any one of them that could have survived? Amen.
20. For although God had ten times decreed that Moses was to die in the desert, still Moses had not troubled much about it,… Alleluia!
21. Ten times, God decreed that Moses must suffer the fate of the people that died in the wilderness; in the desert. Moses never took the word of God serious.
22. You might be saying, “If I were Moses, I would have done this and I would have done that.” You are a liar. You are not too far from your fathers.
23. That is why God said, “I have stretched out My hands to receive a stubborn and rebellious people. A people that are stiff-necked and hard-hearted.” And they could not welcome the hands that God outstretched to them in mercy.
24. 2I have spread out My hands all the day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts—[Isaiah 65:2 AMP]
25. Have we changed? Human beings are the same human beings. I told you, “Whatever you are today; whatever is your behaviour; if you happened to be there that time, that is what you would have manifested, for you are the same you. I am the same I”
26. I am the LORD, I changeth not. I told you that I was there. All these things, I promised you must know in the end so that we tidy up things, for something is about to take place.
27. Thank God Who revealed it to My daughter, who was born at the beginning of this Ministry. Her birth [B-I-R-T-H]; if I do not spell it, My enemies will call death.
28. If your enemies hear that your wife had delivered a baby, they will tell their friends that your wife died.
29. You tell your enemy, “My wife has delivered a baby.” When the person goes out he or she will say, “His wife is dead.” Amen.
30. My daughter Oluebube was born to mark the beginning of the Bride of Christ Ministry. The same thing is applicable to Fear God, the son of Brother Mike, and Naomi, the daughter of former Brother Goddy Emefue.
31. These three; the LORD blessed the Ministry with them to mark the beginning of this Faith. And that was why we named her Faith. F-A-I-T-H.
32. And I told the whole world that she will not have any difficulty serving the LORD. She will not have any difficulty serving the LORD.
33. Ten times! Ten times! Ten times! Ten years! Ten good years! Ten times God warned one man on one thing, and he never took it serious.
34. How many times has God been warning you and you think that God is chiding? Do not worry. It shall be one day, known unto the LORD.
35. EVERY DAY IS FOR THE EVIL MAN, BUT ONE DAY IS FOR THE LORD. EVERY DAY IS FOR THE EVIL WOMAN, BUT ONE DAY IS FOR THE LORD. IF YOU KNOW WHO IS TALKING TO YOU, HAPPY ARE YOU.
36. Are we quarrelling over worldly riches? If I should be envious of anything, what do you think that thing is which you possess that will attract My attention to be envious or to be jealous?
37. WHOEVER THAT IS BEING TAUGHT BY GOD OUGHT TO BEHAVE BEST.
38. Why am I going to this extent? I am snatching all of you from fire, and I know it is not an easy task. I will reveal the past. I will show you the present. You will see the future, for the future of every man or woman is now standing before him or her.
39. I do not want anybody to sleep. After all, nobody sleeps over a matter like this. Does a man whose house is on fire hunt rats.
40. For although God had ten times decreed that Moses was to die in the desert, still Moses had not troubled much about it, EVEN WHEN THE RESOLUTION HAD BEEN SEALED IN THE HEAVENLY COURT.
41. There can never be court without jurists. From the beginning, God never operated without people around Him. Then, these people are the decision-makers being around Him; witnesses. It was a concluded matter.
42. Sometimes, you hear from the Almighty God revealed in our midst, “I have reasoned with He that is in Me. and this is My verdict. I have reasoned with He that is in Me and we have agreed to have it this way.”
43. Oftentimes, I was highly provoked and I said, “SON OF MAN, calm down. Remember there was a time you were like them.”
44. Sometimes, His Spirit will be kindled and I will say, “Father, You were the One that calmed Me down. Listen to Me. Allow me more time to handle these people, for I do not think I can get a better people than these. Grant Me more time to work on them, in them and around them.”
45. He will say, “Okay, since you have that Faith, go ahead.”
46. For although God had ten times decreed that Moses was to die in the desert, still Moses had not troubled much about it, EVEN WHEN THE RESOLUTION HAD BEEN SEALED IN THE HEAVENLY COURT.
47. He thought: “How often did Israel sin, and yet, when I prayed for them, He annulled the punishment He had decreed; surely God should accept my prayer, if I – a man who never sinned – should pray to Him.” [872]
48. Moses had also a special reason for assuming that God had changed His determination concerning him, and would not permit him to enter the promised land, for he had been permitted to enter the part of Palestine lying on this side of the Jordan, the land of Sihon and of Og,…
49. The land of Palestine. The land Israel is still bombing. Who owns that Land of Palestine, where Jesus the Christ was born? Who owns that Land of Palestine, where King David took off? Who owns Palestine?
50. …and from this he reasoned that God had not irrevocably decreed punishment for him, and that it might therefore now be recalled [873]
51. He was strengthened in this assumption by the fact that after the conquest of the east-Jordanic region God revealed to him the instructions as to how the land was to be divided, and it seemed to him as if he were in person to carry out these instructions.
52. He was, however, mistaken, for shortly after these laws had been revealed to him, God informed him that he was to look upon the promised land from Mount Abarin, as he should never enter it. [874]
This generation should expect no other sign than the sign of THE SON OF MAN, but people are looking up towards the sky when the Scripture guided them perfectly: “When THE SON OF MAN shall come, He shall be revealed in the Cloud of Heavens. No man knoweth the Son but the Father and to whosoever the Son shall choose to reveal Himself.” Thus, if the Son does not want to reveal Himself to you, you are wasting your time. Anybody can come claiming to be the son of Man, but anytime THE SON OF MAN comes, all the children of God, all the Elects who are conversant with the Word of God, who believes God seriously will always look for the sign of the Cloud for He shall be revealed in a Cloud.

EMERGENCY PUTS A MAN INTO DESPERATION [2]
LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME 3. MOSES’ DEATH IRREVOCABLY DOOMED continued. When God saw that Moses was not much concerned about the impending punishment, He sealed the command He had issued against him, and swore by His Ineffable Name that Moses should not march into the land. His infallible Name.
2. Moses thereupon put on sackcloth, threw himself upon the ashes, and prayed not less than fifteen hundred prayers for the annulment of the Divine resolve against him.
3. Fifteen hundred prayers. One thousand, five hundred prayers at a stretch. Emergency puts a man into desperation.
4. But should there be emergency now? Should you be taken unawares by the same event you partook in fixing its date? How we ought to learn our lessons.
5. Many Voices have been going forth on our heads indiscriminately like that and at various times since we embraced this Faith till now; man and woman; families alike.
6. It has come to the point where those Voices are now being ridiculed, scoffed at and laughed at. People are now of the opinion that God will no longer carry out that which He had already said He will do.
7. That was what God noticed in Moses. Moses of all Moses could no longer take the Words; the threats serious. Moses regarded the threats as mere empty threats, “God Who always changes His mind whenever I ask for the forgiveness for the people of the Jews. How will that God now turn round to begin to threaten and carry out His threat against me? Is my sin greater than the sins of all Israelis?”
8. He was no longer conscious of Who God is. He was bereft of wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Who God is. If this type of spiritual amnesia could catch up with Moses, who are you? I say, who are you? Who do you think you are?
9. If God could not respect that voice, who had already been personally and practically acquainted with Him, even in private closet on the mountain top, covered by the Pillar of Cloud for forty days and nights on several occasions;
10. Oh No! One that was privileged to be selected among all. You see why THE SON OF MAN is extremely meticulous in His day; counting His steps; watching His steps and watching His back, not intending to fast-track anything.
11. Slow in movement. Slow in leadership. Slow in decision-taking. Slow in execution.
12. Now, when God noticed that “I don’t care” attitude, or “You are the Almighty. Why threatening me. A mere maggot; mere dust like me? Do as you wish.”
13. God now came out and swore in His wrath before Moses, using His infallible Name that he will never enter that Promised Land.
14. Moses was carried away by sentiment. If God wanted to destroy me, why is He giving me assignments? If God wanted to destroy me, why is He assigning responsibilities to me? If God wanted to destroy me and He means all he is saying, why is He in love with me to the point of delegating these things to me and calling me over the phone, calling me this and that; calling me my friend, my darling, my love and my everything; addressing me in my office as Bishop, Apostle, this and that?
15. He forgot to know that God, until that last day, called Judas, “My friend”, whose destruction was foreordained before he came into existence.
16. You want Me to call you “My enemy?” No! I would not call you My enemy. You are My friend.
17. What deceived him [Moses]? God had already directed him on how to apportion land among the twelve tribes of Israel whenever they cross Jordan.
18. With this, he jubilated, having assumed that position. Look at him. He has assumed, “Aaah! God is already feigning ignorance of all He said. I know Him. A man that forgets too easily. I know Him. He shows mercy even when nobody requested for mercy. Do not worry. You will see. All of us are entering. All of us. All of us.”
19. Then, that morning, God swore in His wrath. The same thing happened to Eli. Eli had the opportunity to plead with God, when the LORD spoke to him.
20. He was the one that told Samuel, “May the LORD do much horror unto you if you fail to tell me the totality of all that the LORD spoke to me through you. And may the God Almighty punish me fourfold if I should punish you for revealing the truth to me. My son, go on!”
21. After everything, instead of putting on sack cloth, praying to see whether prayer could change it, He waited to hear from Eli, but the reply never came.
22. He never knew God was speaking to him through Samuel. God used Samuel as a new Temple from where He was ministering.
23. He opened his mouth, “Thank you my son. I have heard everything. He is the LORD God Almighty. Whatever He wants to do, let Him do it.”
24. God said, “OK.” For making that statement, God now came in person and swore in His wrath against Eli and his entire family that no sacrifice; no offering; no prayer; no intercession will ever make God to change His mind from eradicating Eli and his family from the surface of the earth because of the iniquity Eli knew very well that was prevalent in his family, and he restrained them not.
25. 12On that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
26. 13And I [now] announce to him that I will judge and punish his house forever for the iniquity of which he knew, for his sons were bringing a curse upon themselves [blaspheming God], and he did not restrain them.
27. 14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for or purged with sacrifice or offering forever.
28. 15Samuel lay until morning; then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. And [he] was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
29. 16But Eli called Samuel and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here I am. 17Eli said, What is it He told you? Pray do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all that He said to you.
30. 18And Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing. AND ELI SAID, IT IS THE LORD; LET HIM DO WHAT SEEMS GOOD TO HIM. [1 Samuel 3:12 – 18 AMP]
31. That was why Job learnt his lesson, and said, “I will never be among those that cover the sins of their family; sins of their bosom like Adam.”
32. 33If like Adam or like [other] men I have concealed my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom
33. 34Because I feared the great multitude and the contempt of families terrified me so that I kept silence and did not go out of the door–
34. 35Oh, for a hearing! Oh, for an answer from the Almighty! Let my adversary write out His indictment [and put His vague accusations in tangible form] in a book! [Job 31:33 – 35 AMP]
35. Too many people cover sins in their bosom. They do not want to disclose, lest they will be ridiculed, but they want to listen to that which is happening in other people’s families; while they cover their own.
36. IF YOU COVER YOUR OWN SIN, YOU WILL NOT PROSPER, BUT IF YOU MAKE IT OPEN AND REPENT, YOU WILL OBTAIN MERCY. Is it not Scripture?
37. Whoever that covereth his iniquity shall not prosper, but whoever that confesseth and turneth away obtaineth mercy.
38. 13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. [Proverbs 28:13 KJV]
39. It was a light thing to Moses, but God now swore in His wrath. Emergency now put Moses into desperation. Moses ran into the temple; the tent and brought out his sack cloth [mourning cloth], and then fell flat with face downwards.
40. And now began to pray to God, one thousand five hundred times and the LORD did not hear his prayers, for he was praying when God had already taken an oath binding Himself.
41. And I keep on warning all and sundry in this Bridal Faith from the very beginning to remember what God said, “I HAVE PLACED MY NAME UPON HIM. I CALLED HIM FROM AMONG YOU. HE IS YOUR TOWNSMAN. HE IS YOUR BROTHER. DO NOT DESPISE HIM.
42. MY NAME IS UPON HIM. HE IS THE ONE I HAVE PLACED IN FRONT. HE WILL GUIDE AND LEAD YOU IN THE PATH YOU WILL GO. I WILL GO BEFORE HIM. HE WILL LOOK UP TO ME. YOU WILL LOOK UP TO HIM. DO NOT GO TO THE LEFT. DO NOT GO TO THE RIGHT. FIX YOUR EYES AND AFFECTIONS ON HIM.
43. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT PROVOKE HIM TO WRATH. DO NOT PROVOKE HIM TO ANGER, FOR HE WILL NEVER NEVER PARDON YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, FOR I AM SENDING HIM BEFORE YOU, NOT ONLY AS THE ANGEL OF SALVATION, BUT AS THE ANGEL OF JUDGMENT.
44. HE WILL NEVER FAINT. HE WILL NEVER BE DISCOURAGED UNTIL HE HAS ACHIEVED THE TARGET. THOUGH THEY WILL WRESTLE AGAINST HIM, THEY WILL NEVER SUCCEED, FOR I THE LORD AM WITH HIM.”
45. Are you surprised that THE SON OF MAN has survived till today? Is it not a wonder? Is it not a mystery, going by all the attacks, diabolically, physically, prayerfully? Oh No!
46. That is why he is not the one doing it. Greater is He that is in Him than what you are seeing with your eyes.
47. Many have taken THE SON OF MAN for a ride; and His Words as the words of a mad man; a senseless man who has lost His bearing.
48. Some even say that He has no other occupation other than talking, and that He is bereft of understanding, “In this modern world; in this 21st century, he wants to command us in a primitive way. If that is good, let it be for Him and His Family. As for me and my family, we are saying no!”
49. Then here, AS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, WE MUST WORSHIP THIS OLD FASHION GOD, FOR THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE GOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
50. Do you believe that to be true? Why not say Amen! Thank you! How we ought to learn our lesson today. Today is another food for thought.
51. When God saw that Moses was not much concerned about the impending punishment, He sealed the command He had issued against him, and swore by His Ineffable Name that Moses should not march into the land. His infallible Name.
Greater than Moses is here. Greater that Solomon is here. Greater than Paul is here. Greater than Jesus is here. As long as I am here, I am the shock absorber of the Faith. Without Me there is no salvation for the world.

BLAME YOURSELF AND NOT GOD: DO NOT FOLLOW THE VOICE OF A STRANGER; preached on Sunday 30th September 2007; Pg. 92

NO MAN IS INDISPENSABLE
IN THE SIGHT OF GOD
LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME 3. MOSES’ DEATH IRREVOCABLY DOOMED continued. When God saw that Moses was not much concerned about the impending punishment, [Can you imagine?] He sealed the command He had issued against him, and swore by His Ineffable Name that Moses should not march into the land.
2. God now sealed it and swore because he was not showing any concern. How many times do you depict unconcerned attitude when THE SON OF MAN speaks concerning your evils?
3. Oftentimes, some flare up. Often times, some demonstrate against Him because, according to them, He is a mere man like them, while some consider themselves to be better placed than Him. He does not merit their respect, talkless of worship.
4. When God saw that Moses was not much concerned about the impending punishment,…
5. If you show concern when God speaks to you concerning your error, God will know. But if you do not show any concern, God will know. Do you believe that?
6. That is why He said, “The prayer of a penitent heart God will never overlook. The prayer of a man with a contrite spirit; a broken heart, God will never never overlook.”
7. But you must show concern for your heart to be broken because of the evil you did. And with that broken heart, you go on your knees and beckon on God. He understands. Then mercy will project.
8. But for your unconcerned attitude, God will give it the right interpretation immediately. Do you know how many people against whom God has sworn an oath because of their reckless living and “I don’t care” attitude towards the Words of THE SON OF MAN?
9. They forced the oath to go out of My mouth that as long as I live and the Almighty God liveth, this will not happen between two of us. He will say what that thing is.
10. If God says you will never smell eternal life or Paradise, go and buy it with your money; buy it with your pride and beauty.
11. If God says He is going to afflict you with incurable disease, do not take it for a joke. Do not begin to think what that incurable disease might be.
12. The LORD can, because of your iniquity, devise one or invent one specifically for you that was not in existence, for God is an expert in bringing about new things.
13. He said, “I will do a new thing which, if people are told about it, they will not believe it.”
14. 19Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. [Isaiah 43:19 KJV]
15. Be very careful that your unbelief will not put you into trouble in the hand of God. That is why I said that it is better for you to abandon the Faith and give way from our Assembly and from our families.
16. Go the way you want than for you to stay in our midst and incur something that you never imagined before your time; incurring the wrath of God before the approved time God slated to judge the whole world.
17. This is because He has fixed a day He is going to judge the whole world in righteousness by a Man; a Man He has chosen to do that.
18. 30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: 31BECAUSE HE HATH APPOINTED A DAY, IN THE WHICH HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY THAT MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, IN THAT HE HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD. [Act 17:30 – 31 KJV]
19. He has given a Sign signifying Who He is by causing Him to come back from the dead as the Resurrected Body. Is it not Scripture?
20. 22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: …. 26For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; and hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is THE SON OF MAN. [John 5:22, 26 – 27 KJV]
21. 26And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of THE SON OF MAN. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
22. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when THE SON OF MAN is revealed.
23. When God saw that Moses was not much concerned about the impending punishment, He sealed the command He had issued against him, and swore by His Ineffable Name that Moses should not march into the land.
24. Moses thereupon put on sackcloth, threw himself upon the ashes, and prayed not less than fifteen hundred prayers FOR THE ANNULMENT OF THE DIVINE RESOLVE AGAINST HIM.
25. Note the resolve. Divine Resolve, not physical. He prayed one thousand five hundred different prayers for the cancellation, annulment or withdrawal of the sentence passed against him by the Almighty God; divinely resolved.
26. GOD INSTRUMENT OF LEADERSHIP IN EVERY DISPENSATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN DIVINE. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
27. ONCE IT IS DIVINELY ORIENTED, EVERYTHING EMANATING FROM HIM MUST BE WATCHED OUT FOR FROM THE DIVINE STANDPOINT.
28. IF YOU FAIL TO TAKE COGNIZANCE OF THE DIVINITY, THE DIVINE PERSONALITY, THE DIVINE INCARNATE WHO IS HAVING DIRECT DEALINGS WITH YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO DESTROY YOURSELVES.
29. Somebody might be wondering about the nature of Moses, but the Bible described him as a very short man but very heavy; a protruding stomach and things like that. The heaviness of his arms could not allow him to lift them up for too long. He had a big weight and was fair-complexioned like the Jews. Amen.
30. How I wish our eyes of understanding will get illuminated the more. I do not want to cut it short. Let us go further.
31. When God saw that Moses was not much concerned about the impending punishment, He sealed the command He had issued against him, and swore by His Ineffable Name that Moses should not march into the land.
32. I have told you time without number, “be very careful the way you talk on divine matters. Be very careful the way you treat and handle divine instructions coming from the Divine Incarnate, for you do not know the extent and the way He is going to punish you.”
33. There is no human being who is sitting beside Me or who is hearing My Voice, who will predict accurately how God’s punishment will come on him for willful neglect of His Word.
34. Nobody can predict [1] how that punishment will come; [2] the shape it will take, [3] how long it will last, [4] the extent it will go and [5] who and who that are likely to be affected. Do you know it? Can you predict it?
35. Moses thereupon put on sackcloth, threw himself upon the ashes, and prayed not less than fifteen hundred prayers FOR THE ANNULMENT OF THE DIVINE RESOLVE AGAINST HIM.
36. He drew a circle about himself, stood in the center of it, and said, “I will not move from this spot until judgment shall have been suspended.”
37. Heaven and earth, as well as all the forms of creation, trembled and said, “Perhaps it is God’s wish to destroy this world, to create a new universe.”
38. But a voice sounded from heaven and said: “God’s wish to destroy the world has not yet come,… Amen! They were of the opinion that God is about to destroy the world.
39. When it comes to a point where He says or you hear it from THE SON OF MAN, “Heaven and earth, hear My Voice; O Heaven, Hear Me: O Earth, hear Me”, do not think the world is going to be destroyed that time. It happened that time.
40. Destroying Moses; stopping Moses from entering Canaan was likened to coming to the end of the world because of the very wondrous ways God used the Ministry of Moses. True or false?
41. It came to a point where he assumed the Almighty’s nature. People thought he will be indestructible having conquered all nations and their kings.
42. Through him, God performed many things in Egypt and all the lands they passed through.
43. Now, coming to this place and God halting this man, all Israelis concluded, “Perhaps, this would now mean the whole world coming to an end.”
44. But a Voice spoke to them from above saying, “The end of the world is not yet come.” But the end of Moses has come.
45. No man is indispensable in the sight of God. Have I not been telling you this? Not even THE SON OF MAN. That is why THE SON OF MAN is meticulous.
46. If not for His orientation; If not for His origin do you think He will be talking this way? He is standing here in the place of the Deity Himself. That is why he is talking.
47. He is holding the righteousness for Him and in Him and for those who will acknowledge Him whenever He shall be revealed. HE IS BORN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. RIGHTEOUSNESS CANNOT DEPART FROM HIM. Did you get the Message?
48. So, there is no way iniquity can be found in Him. He is among those Whose sins have been covered, Whom the LORD cannot input sin. So, He is standing in the LORD’s righteousness. Did you get the Message?
49. It was not so with Moses. That is why I told you, “A GREATER THAN MOSES IS HERE.” Do you believe it?
50. When the LORD Jesus Christ came, what did He tell you? A GREATER THAN MOSES IS HERE. A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. Did you get the Message?
51. 41The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, A GREATER THAN JONAH IS HERE.
52. 42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. [Matthew 12:41 – 42 KJV; Also Luke 11:31]
53. Since this Ministry took off, it not only judged Abraham, it judged Isaac. It judged Jacob. It judged Moses. It judged Solomon. He said, “Without Me, they are perishing in their graves.
54. My wife, were you not there in the beginning? [Mummy confirmed, “I was there,”] Is it not true? [Mummy concurred again, “It is true.”] Was it not the Voice? [Mummy answered, “It was the Voice.”]
55. Even till today, He is still standing; immovable and unreprovable in the sight of the Elohim. Amen!
56. You must know Who you are following. He told us clearly, “No Messenger has come. No Minister has come. I MYSELF HAVE COME. BELIEVE IN ME DOUBTING NOTHING IF YOU CAN. I AM HE.” Have you not been hearing it?
57. Do not be among those who will wait until emergency will put you into desperation; who will wait until the dying minute.
58. Then, you begin to pray one thousand five hundred prayers thinking that God is interested; and asking for God to withdraw the punishment He had already resolved divinely.
59. Pay attention all of you. If you want Me to continue with this Message, I will continue. But if you do not want Me to continue, I will halt it immediately.
60. Moses thereupon put on sackcloth, threw himself upon the ashes, and prayed not less than fifteen hundred prayers FOR THE ANNULMENT OF THE DIVINE RESOLVE AGAINST HIM.
61. He drew a circle about himself, stood in the center of it, and said, “I will not move from this spot until judgment shall have been suspended.”
62. You can as well wrap yourself around THE SON OF MAN physically, hold His legs, hold His arms and cling your whole body around Him, crying until your tears will soak His cloth, what had already been divinely resolved, concluded and sealed will remain there.
63. YOU SEE WHY, IF YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF COMMITTING UNPARDONABLE SIN, IT THEN MEANS YOU ARE SERPENT’S SEED.
64. You might be thinking it is a light thing, but you never knew you have committed unpardonable sin by your lackluster attitude towards the warning God has been giving to you; Voices roaring on you, and you are taking it to be a light thing.
65. All of you here are at risk, that serve Me water; you serve Me food. You serve Me on a daily basis. Better begin to change your attitudes and visions towards THE SON OF MAN Whom you are serving, for you are serving God and not man. Let there be a change of attitude immediately.
GOD IS NO RESPECTER
OF PERSONS
66. LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME 3. MOSES’ DEATH IRREVOCABLY DOOMED continued. Heaven and earth, as well as all the forms of creation, trembled and said, “Perhaps it is God’s wish to destroy this world, to create a new universe.”
67. But a Voice sounded from heaven and said: “God’s wish to destroy the world has not yet come, The commotion in nature is due to this that ‘IN GOD’S HAND IS THE SOUL OF ALL LIVING THINGS and the spirit of all flesh,’ even the spirit of the man Moses, whose end is not at hand.”
68. God then bade them proclaim in heaven, and in all the celestial courts of justice, that they should not accept Moses’ prayers, and that no angel was to carry Moses’ prayer to Him,… Amen! …because Moses’ doom of death had been sealed by Him. Thank God!
69. When God said, “Do not pray for these people that are in this category, for even if you pray, I will not listen to your prayers”, of what use are the prayers you are making for such people God said that you do not pray for them?
70. This is because they are very powerful, obstinate and unrepentant heathens among us; men and women, especially the women that have that masculine domineering nature. Women that are stronger than men, not only in strength, but in all circles. The Jezebels in our midst.
71. And you begin to pray for such people God had already decreed that they will never live with Him eternally? You are praying that God should change His mind? That is a useless prayer God cannot listen to.
72. Can you imagine? God had already decreed it and said, “Let the Hosts of Angels around Me never convey his prayers to Me.” Do not bring such people to Me. I do not want to see them.
73. Do not even intercede for them, “O Daddy, show us your mercy. Daddy, they are your children. O Daddy lower the severity of your wrath.” Shut up your mouth!
74. If they knew they were children, should they be stubborn? Should they be reckless? Should they take Me for granted?
75. If they know the souls of all human beings are in the hand of God, even the flesh; if they know that even the spirits of all human beings are in the hands of the Almighty, including that of Moses, no matter how highly placed that person might be, they would have humbled themselves before the Almighty.
76. But where you find it difficult to humble yourself before God, do not worry. You will seal your own doom with your own hands or with your mouth.
77. I say it from time to time, “BE VERY CAREFUL THE WAY YOU TALK TO ME. BE VERY CAREFUL THE WAY YOU REACT WHEN I SPEAK. ONE DAY YOU WILL SEAL YOUR DOOM WITH YOUR MOUTH.”
78. That is why I gave a doctrine on that, PUT PADLOCK ON YOUR LIPS. I gave you the doctrine, THE EVILS OF THE TONGUE, a small thing in the body that boasteth of great deeds.
79. IF A MAN OFFENDS NOT IN WORDS, HE BECOMES PERFECT. BRIDLE YOUR TONGUE. CIRCUMCIZE IT. THE EVILS OF THE TONGUE ARE TOO MANY.
80. He sealed his doom, not knowing that God had already sealed his doom.
81. God then bade them proclaim in heaven, and in all the celestial courts of justice, that they should not accept Moses’ prayers, and that no angel was to carry Moses’ prayer to Him, because Moses’ doom of death had been sealed by Him.
82. God quickly called before Him the Angel Akraziel, who is the celestial herald, and bade him proclaim the following in heaven: “Descend at once and lock every single gate in heaven, that Moses’ prayer may not ascend into it.”
83. Then, at Moses’ prayer, trembled heaven and earth, all the foundations thereof and the creatures therein, for his prayer was like a sword that slashed and rends, and can in no wise be parried, for in it was the power of the Ineffable Name that Moses had learned from his teacher Zagzagel, the teacher and scribe of the celestial beings.
84. But when the Galgalim and Seraphim saw that God did not accept Moses’ prayer, AND WITHOUT TAKING CONSIDERATION OF HIM did not grant his prayer for longer life,…
85. And without taking considerations of him; without respecting him for who he was; how he walked energetically; how he defended the cause of God and His people.
86. You see why I warn you, “THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS CAN NEVER SAVE HIM IN THE DAY OF HIS TRANSGRESSION.”
87. “I WAS GOOD BEFORE” can never be accepted for pardon. You were good before. Why did you not hold on to your goodness till the end. You were doing well before.
88. How are the mighty fallen? Who bewitched you that you should not continue in your good way of life? You started very well. Why are you ending it very badly? You started with Christ; Why are you ending it with the devil.
89. 1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. … 3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? [Galatians 3:1 & 3 NIV]
90. NO RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD
91. But when the Galgalim and Seraphim saw that God did not accept Moses’ prayer, AND WITHOUT TAKING CONSIDERATION OF HIM did not grant his PRAYER FOR LONGER LIFE, they all opened their mouths, saying: “Praised be the glory of the Lord from its place, for [1] THERE IS NO INJUSTICE BEFORE HIM,… Amen! …[2] NO FORGETFULNESS,…
92. Note these two great attributes of God. The Hosts of Heaven lifted up their voices in praise and in adoration of Most High, for there is none like You O God, Who keepeth His promises throughout all eternities, for there is no forgetfulness nor injustice with the LORD God Almighty.
93. He repays every man according as his work shall be. When He says, “I know you. I know your works. I know your doings. I know your dwelling place. I can call you by your name”, for all these are naked unto the eyes of the ALMIGHTY GOD Whom we are having dealings with.
94. Where then do you think you will run to and the eyes of the LORD will not search you out? Darkness is like the bright day before the LORD.
95. You run into the ocean, He is there. You go to the mountain top, He is there. You fly to the Heavens, He is there. Where then will you hide and the LORD God will not search you out. Amen.
96. But when the Galgalim and Seraphim saw that God did not accept Moses’ prayer, AND WITHOUT TAKING CONSIDERATION OF HIM did not grant his PRAYER FOR LONGER LIFE, they all opened their mouths, saying: “Praised be the glory of the Lord from its place, for [1] THERE IS NO INJUSTICE BEFORE HIM, 2] NO FORGETFULNESS, [3] NO RESPECT OF PERSONS TOWARD THE SMALL OR THE GREAT.” [875]
97. The leg of a small goat is sold in the market. Bro Eli, I hope you are paying attention. Towards the small or towards the great.
98. I told you that evil has no age. Death has no age. Did you get the Message? How we ought to begin now to address the truth in its entirety as it affects our relationship with God, which determines our eternal destiny.
I am sent for salvation to all the ends of the earth. Therefore, if you are going to be heir of the salvation, if you are going to be a partaker, if you are going to inherit salvation, I am sent for you, for without Me, you are lost. You keep on calling Jesus, you are lost. ……. That is why, when God came down in our midst, He told us clearly, “I have not come here to solve your physical problems. There is no man without a problem. I am also having a part of the problem, for I am suffering more than you, but I am here for eternal life to those that are eagerly and patiently waiting for it.”

CONCEAL NOT YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST
THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME MOSES’ PRAYER FOR SUSPENSION OF JUDGMENT:
2. Pay attention! Moses began his LONG BUT FRUITLESS PRAYER… He that will stand up and make bold to tell everybody; Did I tell you to pray to God? I said, “Yes, I commanded you to pray to God. But I want to assure all and sundry that your prayer does not go to any other place, but to this individuality who is telling you to pray.”
3. Have you not been hearing it? Anywhere you like carry your incantations as prayer. It does not cross where you are, for I am there with you.
4. Before ever you open your mouth, I know what you want to request. I grant as many as I wish. Anyone I do not want to grant, I will not grant it. If you like repeat it one million times every day, it is a mere dissipation of your energy. Moses went into unfruitful prayers, for the first time.
5. God is identified by His characteristics. Identify God by His attributes. Begin to know what we are reading and what we are now studying.
6. Relate it with the Divine Personality that is vindicated among us as the revealed Christ of this age, where our eternal life hangs.
7. Our hope for Paradise hangs on One Man. Check His teachings and his beliefs. Check all He has been saying all these years. Check His qualities; His nature, characteristics and attributes. Find out whether it is coinciding with what you are hearing, for it is from the selfsame Spirit
8. THE GOD THAT MIGRATED TO THE GENTILES IS THE SAME GOD THAT WAS THERE WITH THE JEWS. THE GOD THAT WAS IN THE EAST IN THE BEGINNING, IS THE ONE THAT IS IN THE WEST IN THE END TIME, NOT ANOTHER ONE. AM I MAKING SENSE?
9. Moses began his LONG BUT FRUITLESS PRAYER by saying: “Lord of the world! Consider how much I had to bear for the sake of Israel until they became the people of Thy claim and of Thy possession.
10. I suffered with them, shall I not then take part in their rejoicing? Look Thou, by forbidding me to enter the promised land, Thou givest the lie to Thy Torah, for it says, ‘In his day thou shalt give the laborer his hire.’
11. Where, then, is my hire for the forty years during which I labored for the sake of Thy children, and for their sake suffered much sorrow in Egypt, in the desert, and at the giving of the Torah and the commandments?
12. With them I suffered pain, shall not I behold their good fortune as well? But Thou tellest me that I may not cross the Jordan! All the time that we were in the desert I could not sit quietly in the academy, teaching and pronouncing judgement, but not that I should be able to do so, Thou tellest me that I may not.” [876]
13. Human beings can never change. When the going gets tough, centurions, man and woman, you see people coming up, “Father, please remember how we started this journey. Father, remember how we trekked to Abagana; how we trekked to Amazu Oil; Father, we went to Amagunze. Remember we went to the North and how we almost died of hunger.
14. Our children were sent away from their school. Were we not with you the day we were arrested by the police on the way? Some of us were arrested by the army personnel. Remember the several bouts of flogging that was unleashed on us. If we were set on fire, we were all involved.
15. Father, I am pleading with you, “How can all these people go in and I will be left out?” Is the worker not entitled to his wages? How then will I work and I will not partake of the fruit thereof. Father, please have mercy on me.”
16. I liken all these things you are saying to the story-telling music of the minstrel, Mike Ejeagha. Mike Ejeagha’s music!
17. They are mere oratory before God. Sweet oratory that does not have any divine content in the sight of God.
18. This is because on the day a good fellow prefers to do evil, all the goods he did in the past shall be forgotten. He becomes an evil fellow, for he has chosen the way of evil.
19. But if an evil man turns from evil and begins to do right, and holds it on till the end, the evils he did in the past shall be forgotten. Is it not true?
20. You can see it in the Book of Ezekiel chapter 18.
21. 21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22. 22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
23. 24But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. [Ezekiel 18:21 – 24 KJV]
24. You see why we have to be very very cautious; very very meticulous that we do not allow the devil to trick us into changing our confessions.
25. Jesus came and gave us the totality of the truth about this matter that we can only be saved if we hold unto the profession of our faith without wavering unto the end. Only then shall we be saved.
26. 23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised; [Hebrews 10:23 KJV]
27. In another Scripture, He said, “Whosoever that endures till the end, the same shall be saved.”
28. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [Matthew 24:13 KJV]
29. 13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [Mark 13:13 KJV]
30. Saint Paul came and admonished us to hold unto the profession of our faith, immovable, unshakable, tenaciously, faithfully till the end.
31. 58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labour in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]. [1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP]
32. 14For we have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end. [Hebrews 3:14 AMP]
33. He said that we are athletes. A good athlete is never crowned midway. You must complete the race.
34. 5And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down). [2 Timothy 2:5 AMP]
35. Will you be awarded the trophy because you ran and suffered and even slept outside? I am trying to show you that God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
36. After all, we are warned seriously that we should not allow ourselves to be those that are given to change. A man in the morning; a woman in the evening and a child in the afternoon. Do not ever! Do not be a chameleon. Be steady!
37. If you are a child of God, remain a child of God. Do not be a snake in the morning; a python in the afternoon, and then another thing in the night; a cobra in the night.
38. He continued: “May the mercy in Thee precede Thy justice, so that my prayer may be answered, FOR I WELL KNOW THAT ‘THERE IS NO MERCY IN JUSTICE,’ [877]
39. TAMPER JUSTICE WITH MERCY. TAMPER JUSTICE WITH MERCY, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE IS NO MERCY IN JUSTICE.
40. When you say, “You are the LORD; Do whatever you want”, you want justice. In justice, no mercy. It is “THUS SAITH THE LORD”, “IT IS WRITTEN.” There is no advocacy in justice.
41. Tell Me who will go to that Judgment Throne and win his case with the Almighty God. Angels never won their cases, and a human being will now go to the Judgment Seat and win his case with God. Who will advocate for you. Warning, they say, goes before judgment.
42. Thou Thyself didst tell me when I asked Thee how Thou didst conduct the world, ‘I owe nothing to any creature, and what I do for them is a free gift on My part,’ therefore as a free gift, grant now my prayer to me. [878]
43. Thou Thyself didst point out to me that it is Thy desire that people should pray to Thee to cancel punishment that was laid upon them.
44. When Israel committed that terrible sin, the worship of the Golden Calf, Thou didst say to me, ‘Let Me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven.’
45. I then thought, ‘Who can restrain God, that He should say, “Let Me?” It is plain that He desires me to pray for His children;’ and I prayed, and was answered. The prayer of the individual for the community was answered, but not so the prayer of the community for the one individual!
46. Is it because I called Israel, ‘rebels?’ But in this I only followed Thy example, for Thou too didst call them, ‘the sons of rebellion.’ [879]
47. “Thou didst call me, as well as Leviathan, thy servant; I sent up prayers to Thee, and Leviathan likewise, and him didst Thou answer, for Thou madest a covenant with him that Thou keepest, but the covenant that Thou madest with me Thou breakest, for Thou didst say, ‘Die in the mount whither thou goest up.’
48. In the Torah Thy words are: ‘If the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: then his master shall bring him unto the judges; and he shall serve him for ever.’ I implore Thee now, ‘hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.’ [880]
49. Thou are not in the position of a judge of flesh and blood who, when granting a prayer, has to consider that he may be compelled by his superior to repeal his answer, Thou canst do what Thou wilt, for where on earth or in heaven is there one so mighty that he can do such deed as Thine in Egypt, or who can perform such mighty deeds as Thou didst at the Red Sea? [881]
50. I pray Thee, therefore, let me behold the land that, in spite of the slander of the spies, I praised, and Jerusalem and the Temple also. [882]
51. “When, in answer to the proposition Thou madest me to go into Egypt and deliver Israel, I said, ‘I can not do it, for I made a vow to Jethro never to leave him,’ Thou didst release me from that vow. O Lord of the world! As then Thou didst absolve me of my vow, saying, ‘Go, return into Egypt,’ so do Thou now absolve Thyself from Thy vow, and permit me to enter the land of Israel.”
52. Then God answered: “Thou hast a master to absolve thee from thy vow, but I have no master.” [883]
53. Moses then said: “Thy judgement against me reads that I shall not as king enter the promised land, for to me and to Aaron Thou didst say, “Ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.’ Permit me then, at least, to enter it as a common citizen.” “That,” said the Lord, “is impossible. The king shall not enter it degraded to the rank of a common citizen.”
54. “Well, then,” said Moses, “if I may not even go into the land as a common citizen, let me at least enter into the promised land by the Paneas Grotto, that runs from the east bank to the west bank of the Jordan.”
55. But this request, too, God denied him, saying, “Thou shalt not go from this bank of the Jordan to the other.” “If this request also is to be denied me,” begged Moses, “grant me at least that after my death my bones may be carried to the other side of the Jordan.” But God said, “Nay, not even thy bones shall cross the Jordan.” [884]
56. “O Lord of the world!” exclaimed Moses, “If Joseph’s bones were permitted to be carried into the promised land, why not mine?”
57. God replied, “Whosoever acknowledges his country shall be buried therein, but whosoever does not acknowledge his country shall not be buried therein.
58. Joseph pledged allegiance to his country when he said, ‘For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews,’ and therefore also does he deserve to have his bones brought to the land of Israel, but thou didst in silence hear the daughters of Jethro say to their father, ‘An Egyptian delivered us out of the hands of the shepherds,’ without correcting them by saying, ‘I am a Hebrew;’ and therefore shall not even thy bones be brought into the land of Israel.” [885]
59. He hid his identity as a Hebrew because of Jethro’s daughter he took for wife, but it was not so with Joseph. Although Joseph was a king also, he disclosed his identity that he was a Jew, a Hebrew of all Hebrews.
60. And he enjoined his people, though they were in captivity, “I know I have sojourned here as a slave who now became a king. I know I will die here. Whenever you are going back to my homeland, I promise by the Almighty God which I know He must bring to pass, after me; after my decease, make sure you exhume My bones, take my bones and bury in my own homeland.”
61. And when they were leaving for Canaan, the Bible said, “They carried the bones of Joseph.”
62. Now, Moses, who kept quiet; who never identified his country with the Egyptians because of the influence of the women, thought it was a light thing has now used it as an excuse in his prayer citing Joseph, thinking that he could be wiser than God. Look at God’s reply.
63. Brethren, I am learning many things. You should learn many things. There are too many arguments that seem right in our eyes; in our hearts and in our brains. We think they are plausible arguments we can present to God.
64. One question God will ask will dismiss all. One statement He will make will nullify all the barrages of reasons we might adduce for our wrong doing.
65. Can you now believe THE SON OF MAN who says, “THERE IS NO GOOD WAY OF DOING A WRONG THING? YOU CAN NEVER BE WRONG AND RIGHT.”
66. AND WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE WRONG, AND YOU ARE MAKING A PLEA FOR PARDON, BE WISE. DO NOT EVER MAKE A PLEA PRESENTING YOUR INNOCENCE. DO NOT EVER MAKE A PLEA CITING OTHERS. MAKE A PLEA CONCERNING YOURSELF. MAKE A PLEA CONCERNING YOURSELF.
67. Why querying the prayers which you made in the wilderness for the community and God heard the prayers and forgave them?
68. Now the community cannot make any prayer for you, for My affair with you is not a servant and Master affair. It is a Master and king affair.
69. Look at how he pleaded; “Let even my bones be taken there.” He said, “Nay!” Does it mean he will go to hell? No! God had already decided the way He will do it. He will never step into the land, but he will go to heaven. He will enjoy eternal life. I will tell you how He will do it.
70. “If this request also is to be denied me,” begged Moses, “grant me at least that after my death my bones may be carried to the other side of the Jordan.” But God said, “Nay, not even thy bones shall cross the Jordan.” [884]
71. “O Lord of the world!” exclaimed Moses, “If Joseph’s bones were permitted to be carried into the promised land, why not mine?”
72. God replied, “Whosoever acknowledges his country shall be buried therein, but whosoever does not acknowledge his country shall not be buried therein.
73. Joseph pledged allegiance to his country when he said, ‘For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews,’ and therefore also does he deserve to have his bones brought to the land of Israel, but thou didst in silence hear the daughters of Jethro say to their father, ‘An Egyptian delivered us out of the hands of the shepherds,’ without correcting them by saying, ‘I am a Hebrew;’ and therefore shall not even thy bones be brought into the land of Israel.” [885]
74. Moses furthermore said to God: “O Lord of the world! With the word, ‘Behold’ did I begin Thy praise, saying, ‘Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s’ and with that very world, ‘Behold,’ dost thou seal my death, saying, ‘Behold, thy days approach that thou must die.'”
75. God replied to this: “A WICKED MAN IN HIS ENVY SEES ONLY THE PROFITS, BUT NOT THE EXPENDITURES OF HIS NEIGHBOUR. Sure!!!
76. Dost thou not recall that when I wanted to send thee to Egypt, thou didst also decline My request with the word, ‘Behold,’ saying, ‘Behold, they will not believe me.’ Therefore did I say, ‘Behold, thy days approach that thou must die.'” [886]
77. “As furthermore,” continued God, “thou didst say to the sons of Levi when they asked thy forgiveness, ‘Enough, ye take too much upon ye, ye sons of Levi,’ so too shall I answer thy prayer for forgiveness, ‘Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto Me of this matter.'”
78. God said, “From now, do not speak again to Me on this matter. I have had enough.” “Do not bring this matter to Me again”; or “Do not try My line again”; or “If you want to try My line, do not mention this matter again.” It is a concluded matter.
79. Is it a welcome development to anybody? Even a fool will not like it that way.
80. THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO AVOID DOING, PLEASE AVOID IT COMPLETELY BY NOT DOING ANYTHING THAT WILL BRING YOU INTO CONFRONTATION WITH GOD.
81. If you go to the Message, SHOULD A MAN STRIVE WITH HIS MAKER, God said, that He demands implicit loyalty and obedience; Total submission from all the Elect of God.
82. Who are the only people that will do it? Only those that proceeded from God, and not those who were appointed midway.
48If you understand all these things, you will always be happy. If the King does not commit iniquity, the children can never commit iniquity. So, understand what is happening in this Faith. 49God is revealing His children. I say, God is revealing His sons and daughters who will possess the earth with Him, because any time from now, the kingdom of the world shall become the Kingdom of God and His children. I say, any time from now, all these things we are struggling to get shall be ours. We would not complain again. That is why we have to be patient with Him. Amen.

BE PATIENT WITH GOD
THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME 3. MOSES’ PRAYER FOR SUSPENSION OF JUDGMENT continued:
2. “O Lord of the world!” again pleaded Moses, “Wilt not Thou recall the time when thou didst say to me, ‘Come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.’ Let them be led by me into their land as I led them out of the land of bondage.”
3. But to this also God found a reply: “Moses, wilt not thou recall the time when thou didst say to Me, ‘O my Lord, send, I pray Thee by the hand of him whom Thou wild send?’ ‘With the measure that a man uses, shall measure be given him.’ [887]
4. I announce death to thee with the word, ‘Behold,’ saying ‘Behold, thy days approach that thou must die,’ because I wanted to point out to thee that thou diest only because thou are a descendant of Adam, upon whose sons I had pronounced death with the word, ‘Behold,’ saying to the angels: ‘Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.'” [888]
5. Moses then said, “O Lord of the world! To the first man didst Thou give a command that could easily be obeyed, and yet he disobeyed it, and thereby merited death; but I have not transgressed any of Thy commandments.”
6. God: “Behold, Abraham also, who sanctified My name in the world, died.”
7. Moses: “Yea, but from Abraham issued Ishmael, whose descendants arouse thy anger.” God: “Isaac, also, who laid his neck upon the altar to be offered as a sacrifice to Me, died.”
8. Moses: “But from Isaac issued Esau who will destroy the Temple and burn Thy house.” God: “From Jacob issued twelve tribes that did not anger Me, and yet he died.”
9. Moses: “But he did not ascend into heaven, his feet did not tread the clouds, Thou didst not speak with him face to face, and he did not receive the Torah out of Thy hand.”
10. God: “‘Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto Me of this matter,’ SPEAK NOT MANY WORDS, FOR ONLY ‘A FOOL MULTIPLIETH WORDS.'”
11. God is identified by His attributes. If you know THE SON OF MAN and you have not discovered this attribute in Him, you are not personally acquainted with Him.
12. When He calls you to order, he says, “Enough is enough. I do not want to hear it again.” You may take it as an insult, and that He is taking too much, thereby incurring His wrath.
13. ONLY A FOOLISH MOUTH IS FILLED WITH WORDS. A WISE FELLOW SPEAKS BUT FEW WORDS ON A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. AND A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.
14. But when you turn it to be an oratory, as if God is bereft of knowledge and understanding, or you want to persuade Him to act otherwise, or teach Him the right way it should be done, you are risking your life that time, for when he switches off, to switch on is no longer an easy affair.
15. But if He will speak under that tension, I bet you, He will find it difficult to withdraw it, for it is a disrespect to His Person, to His authority and power over a mere human being.
16. Go to the Message, SHOULD A MAN STRIVE WITH HIS MAKER, and you will understand this matter more than ever.
17. This matter is not peculiar to Moses. We saw Prophet Ezra in the 2nd Book of Ezra in the same category. We saw David. We saw Jeremiah. We saw Ezekiel. We saw Jonah and many others.
18. What can you say about king Saul who stood up before Samuel and said, “I have sinned. Please pray to God to forgive me.” Did the LORD Pay attention?
19. If I tell you that I am the most Merciful, the most Compassionate, the most Understanding, full of long-suffering and patience, the most Tolerant that has ever appeared here on earth, doubt Me not, for I have sojourned with human beings from creation and I have mastered human nature more than any other.
20. Hence, I am coping with human beings assigned to Me for their salvation, not without difficulty anyway, but I am greater than their difficulties.
21. Moses: “O Lord of the world! Future generations will perchance say, ‘Had not God found evil in Moses, He would not have taken him out of the world.'”
22. God: “I have already written in My Torah, ‘And there hath not arisen since a prophet in Israel like unto Moses.'”
23. Moses: “Future generations will perhaps say that I had probably acted in accordance with Thy will in my youth, while I was active as a prophet, but that in my old age, when my prophetic activities ceased, I no longer did Thy will.”
24. Moses: “Lord of the world! Let me, I pray, enter into the Land, live there two or three years, and then die.”
25. God: “I HAVE RESOLVED THAT THOU SHALT NOT GO THERE.”
26. Moses: “If I may not enter it in my lifetime, let me reach it after my death.” God: “NAY, NEITHER DEAD NOR ALIVE SHALT THOU GO INTO THE LAND.”
27. Moses: “Why this wrath against me?” God: “BECAUSE YE SANCTIFIED ME NOT IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.” Period!
28. Moses: “With all Thy creatures dost Thou deal according to Thy quality of mercy, forgiving them their sins, once, twice, and thrice, but me Thou wilt not forgive even one single sin!”
29. God: “OUTSIDE OF THIS SIN OF WHICH THOU ARE AWARE, THOU HAST COMMITTED SIX OTHER SINS WITH WHICH I HAVE NOT UNTIL NOW REPROACHED THEE. Sure!!!
30. Can you imagine that God is now punishing him on the seventh time? He thought it was only that one. He never knew that God had been following his disobedience.
31. God is now telling him, “It is not only this time that you have sinned against Me. You have been sinning against Me. I have recorded six times against you when you committed grievous evils against Me. And in the six times, I upbraided you not. I never swore against you. I never took drastic measures against you.”
32. Why? He thought that along the way, Moses will understand and that he must come back to his senses after knowing or realizing the manner of the Divine Personality he was having dealings with.
33. Is there any wonder why THE SON OF MAN, from time to time, will always bring every member of the Bridal Faith into remembrance again of the Divine Personality we are having dealings with?
34. If you are to recount how many times THE SON OF MAN has called to remembrance before everybody, this Divine Incarnate revealed among us; the Big Masquerade and how many times He has revisited the matter, aiming at introducing Him into our hearts so that our attitudes to worshipping God will change; our attitudes towards obeying Him will change for our own good.
35. All that have been transgressing, thinking that God does not know, God knows everything. He takes record of everything. Allah is swift in taking records, and He does not forget anything. It is one of His attributes.
36. When He starts to bring everything to your judgment, He starts from the day you were born; from your village. He will give you line by line, precept upon precept, a little here; a little there of everything about your life and your relationship with Him over the years, and then tell you to argue if you want.
37. See the encounter with Moses. Moses thought he only sinned once, but God is disproving him, and now outlining several times Moses sinned against God. And now, the seventh one, God said, “I will no longer spare you.” Amen.
38. I HOPE WE ARE STILL FOLLOWING. PAY ATTENTION! IT WILL HELP US. OUR ENTRY INTO PARADISE IS DETERMINED BY OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, WHICH IS A FACTOR OF OUR OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD.
39. At the very first, when I appeared to thee, thou didst say, ‘O my Lord, send I pray Thee, by the hand of him whom Thou wilt send,’ and didst refuse to obey My command to go to Egypt.
40. Have you heard it? The first command God gave Moses, Moses did not obey God. Rather, Moses had the effrontery to tell God, “Make another choice. It cannot be me. Take any other person, not me.”
41. God kept quiet over that flagrant disrespect, for the Scripture said, “No man can resist God’s calling”, but Moses resisted it.
42. He [Moses] might be thinking that He [God] did not know what He was doing. But He knew. Allah takes record and kept quiet. You will hear the second one now.
43. Secondly thou didst say, ‘For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name, he hath evil entreated this people; neither hast Thou delivered Thy people at all,’ accusing Me thereby of having only harmed Israel, instead of aiding them.
44. Amen! Can you hear it? He thought that going to talk to Pharaoh will mean that after talking to Pharaoh, Pharaoh will now give charge for the people of Israel to leave Egypt.
45. But after talking to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt increased the hardship and the labours of the people of Israel living in Egypt.
46. He multiplied their sufferings and they ran to Moses, “O Moses, you said that the Almighty God sent you to come and deliver us. You went to Pharaoh and announced that God said that he should allow us to go. Now, look at the consequences of that your request.
47. If you had allowed us to remain as we were in Egypt, it would have been better than subjecting us to this untold hardship as a result of this your request which you are not ready to implement.”
48. Moses now carried the matter to God and said, “Almighty God! You have put me into trouble. Look at what You said I should go and say. And I have said it, but instead of You to take Your people out, You did not do anything. And now, Pharaoh compounded their troubles. They are suffering more than ever now.”
49. Moses is thereby accusing God of ineffectiveness; accusing God of not fulfilling His Word; accusing God of deceiving Him and His people; accusing God of bringing that hardship upon the people. So, God is now a liar.
50. How many times have we acted this way, even when God gave us a Message titled, “BE PATIENT WITH GOD.” Be patient with God. From time to time, you will hear Me, “Be patient with Me. Relax your mind. Be patient with Me, for TIME and SPACE which has to do with patience will take care of every problem.”
51. BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE PROMISE AND THE TIME OF ITS FULFILMENT, THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PERIOD OF WAITING. WAITING! WAITING!
52. Like we have been waiting at the Gate of Paradise, many are of the opinion that we have over-delayed. Many are of the opinion that THE SON OF MAN has fooled them. In spite of the vindications God has done, many are of the opinion that the whole thing has failed.
53. I am telling you the truth, for which cause they have lowered down their hands. Some fully abandoned the Faith and went fully into the world, thinking they will regain that thing which they thought they lost because they were following a “deceiver.”
54. Did you get the Message? Well, let us continue. Pay attention! They never knew they were having dealings with a Divine Incarnate.
55. AND I TOLD YOU THAT EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO GOD IS DIVINELY ORIENTED. MEMBERSHIP OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY IS ABSOLUTELY DIVINE, NOT CARNAL.
56. CARNAL MEMBERS FILLED THE FAITH. DIVINE MEMBERS ARE IN THE MINORITY, AND WILL REMAIN IN THE MINORITY. AND THESE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTAND THE HAND WRITING ON THE WALL. THE REST ARE BLIND TO IT.
57. Thirdly didst thou say, ‘If these men die the common death of all men, then the Lord hath not sent me,’ so that thou didst arouse doubts among Israel if thou wert really My ambassador.
58. Fourthly didst thou say, ‘But if the Lord make a new thing,’ doubting if God could do so.
59. Fifthly didst thou say to Israel, ‘Hear now, ye rebels,’ and in this way didst insult My children.
60. Sixthly didst thou say, ‘And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men.’ Were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Israel’s fathers, perchance sinful men, that thou didst thus address their children?”
61. Moses: “I only followed Thy example, for Thou, too, didst say, ‘The censers of these sinners.'”
62. God: “But I did not characterize their fathers as sinners.” When the rat goes swimming with the lizard, will the rat get dry again like the lizard will?
63. This is because he did not understand what God meant. He went and started doing it because God is doing it. Did God tell you to follow Him and do it? Did you tell God that you did not understand, and He refused to explain it to you?
64. God, Who specializes in busting from time to time with a question, “Understandest thou this?” When you say, “How can I understand, I do not understand”, He [God] will expound your understanding that you may understand the real meaning of the Scriptures, for the Word of God is of no private interpretation. God interprets His Words.
65. If God says anything you do not understand, why not say, “Father, please help me to understand” or “Explain it to me.” I think it is better than giving it your own carnal interpretation.
66. He that said, “Although the Promise tarries, wait for it. It can never be overdue by a single day”, did He not know that the Promise was not to be fulfilled immediately and that it must tarry?
67. Another reason is to sift out every chaff from the wheat; every goat from the sheep.
68. Like THE SON OF MAN told you as we wait at the Gate of Paradise, “You are going to wait at this Gate for too long.” Did I say so?
69. For it is here that you will stay and we will wait for the late arrivals. After which there shall be a sifting between the goat and the sheep. Did I say so?
70. ONLY THE GOATS ARE NOW A PART OF THE WORLD, JUNKETING IN THE WORLD, PARTYING AND MAKING MERRIMENT, BUT THE REAL SHEEP ARE STILL LYING DOWN THERE AT THE GATE, LOOKING AT EACH OTHER, JOYFUL THAT THE GATE MUST SURELY OPEN; JOYFUL THAT THEY ARE LYING DOWN THERE TO BE THE FIRST FRUITS THAT WILL ENTER PARADISE ONCE THIS GATE IS OPENED.
71. While the goats are now roaming the whole world, from one street to another; one layout to another; one shopping plaza to another; one supermarket to another; from funeral to wedding; from wedding to naming ceremony; from naming ceremony to investiture where they will showcase whatever they will want to showcase.
72. These are the goats that are feeling much more comfortable with the heathens than with the Brethren. These are goats!
73. But the sheep are still lying down at the Gate, full of expectation. And their expectation will never disappoint them, and will never never fail them. I, THE SON OF MAN, am the One saying it over and over and over.
74. The Day is the greatest secret sealed even in the heart of the Almighty which, not even the angels pry into. Only that Man Who is in the bosom of the Father knows the mind of the Father on this all-important matter, which in My own parlance, I call it the DECIDER. THE DECIDER! D-E-C-I-D-E-R.
75. And HE is already here with us, for the executioner is not going back without executing His task. Am I making sense at all?
76. 4If He were the one to return at the end of the world, surely He would have had knowledge of the time of His return, the knowledge of the hour. But He left Himself out of that knowledge and placed it where it belonged, as all the others prophets had done.
77. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL US THE HOUR OF THE JUDGMENT. NO ONE BUT HE, THE GREAT ALL WISE GOD, ALLAH. HE IS CALLED THE “SON OF MAN,” THE “MAHDI”, THE “CHRIST”.
78. The prophets, Jesus included, could only foretell those things which would serve as signs, signs that would precede such a great one’s coming to judge the world. THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOUR OF JUDGMENT IS WITH THE EXECUTOR ONLY. [MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA: CHAPTER 6 – THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN, THE GREAT MAHDI; verse 4]
79. We are not talking about His visitation. It is no longer that He will. He has arrived to live with us.
80. [17]For the Lord your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will give you victory. He will rejoice over you with great gladness; he will love you and not accuse you.” Is that a joyous choir I hear? No, it is the Lord himself exulting over you in happy song. [Zephaniah 3:17 LB]
81. Moses: “O Lord of the world! How often did Israel sin before Thee, and when I begged and implored mercy for them, Thou forgavest them, but me Thou wilt not forgive! For my sake Thou forgavest the sins of sixty myriads, and not thou wilt not forgive my sin?”
82. God: “The punishment that is laid upon the community is different from the punishment that is laid upon the individual, for I am not so severe in my treatment of the community as I am in dealing with an individual. But know, furthermore, that until now fate had been in thy power, but now fate is no longer in thy power.”[889]
83. Moses: “O Lord of the world! Rise up from the Throne of Justice, and seat Thyself upon the Throne of Mercy, so that in Thy mercy, Thou mayest grant me life, during which I may atone for my sins by suffering that Thou shalt bring upon me.
84. The two Seats are there: Mercy Seat and Judgment Seat. Moses is not even making a prayer. He is giving a command. He is commanding God, “Rise up! Rise up from that Throne of Judgment. Please go over to the Throne of Mercy that I may see whether I can obtain mercy.”
85. Is it by force? Moses, is it by force. A GREATER THAN MOSES IS HERE.
86. Hand me not over to the sword of the Angel of Death. If Thou wild grant my prayer, then shall I sound Thy praises to all the inhabitants of the earth; I do not wish to die, ‘but live and declare the works of the Lord.'”
87. God replied: “‘THIS IS THE GATE OF THE LORD;… This is what? … THE GATE OF THE LORD; This is what? … THE GATE OF THE LORD; the righteous shall enter into it,’ this is the gate into which the righteous must enter as well as other creatures, for death had been decreed for man since the beginning of the world.” [890]
88. Moses, however, continued to importune God, saying: “With justice and with mercy hast Thou created the world and mankind, May mercy now conquers justice.
89. In my youth Thou didst begin by showing me Thy power in the bush of thorns, and now, in my old age, I beseech Thee, treat me not as an earthly king treats his servant.
90. When a king of flesh and blood had a servant, he loves him as long as he is young and strong, but casts him off when he is grown old. But Thou, ‘cast me not off in the time of old age.’
91. Thou didst show Thy power at the revelation of the Ten Commandments, and thy strong hand in the ten plagues that Thou didst bring upon Egypt. Thou didst create everything, and in Thy hand doth it lie to kill and to give life, there is none who can do these works, nor is there strength like Thine in the future world.
92. Let me then proclaim Thy majesty to the coming generations, and tell them that through me Thou didst cleave the Red Sea, and give the Torah to Israel, that throughout forty years Thou didst cause manna to rain from heaven for Israel, and water to rise from the well.”
93. For Moses thought that if his life were spared, he should be able everlastingly to restrain Israel from sin and to hold them forever in faith to the one God.
94. But God said: “‘Let it suffice thee.’ If thy life were to be spared, men should mistake thee, and make a god of thee, and worship thee.”
95. “Lord of the world!” replied Moses, “Thou didst already test me at the time when the Golden Calf was made and I destroyed it. Why then should I die?”
96. God: “Whose son art thou?” Moses: “Amram’s son.” God: “And whose son was Amram?” Moses: “Izhar’s son.” God: “And whose son was he?” Moses: “Kohath’s son.” God: “And whose son was he?” Moses: “Levi’s son.” God: “And from whom did all of these descend?” Moses: “From Adam.”
97. God: “Was the life of any one of these spared?” Moses: “They all died.” God: “And thou wishest to live on?” Moses: “Lord of the world! Adam stole the forbidden fruit and ate of it, and it was on this account that Thou didst punish him with death, but did I ever steal aught from Thee? Thou Thyself didst write of me, ‘My servant Moses, who is faithful in all Mine house.'”
98. God: “Art thou worthier than Noah?” Moses: “Yes; when Thou sentest the flood over his generation he did not beg Thy mercy for them, but I did say to Thee, ‘Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'”
99. God: “Was it I perchance, that counseled thee to slay the Egyptian?” Moses: “Thou didst slay all the firstborn of Egypt, and shall I die on account of one single Egyptian that I slew?”
100. God: “Art thou perchance My equal? I slay and restore to life, but canst thou perchance revive the dead?” [891]
