(FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS, July by Prophet Branham)
“For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.”
(Jeremiah 4:22-26 King James Version)
THE VOICE OF THE WATCHMAN
INTRODUCTION
Whatever has a beginning must have an end. Some years ago, people were thinking and seeing the year 2000 afar off. But today, it is only but a step between all mankind and the year 2000 which automatically marks the end of this generation. We are no longer counting in years but in months.
2. In spite of this, it still baffles the Watchman that the whole human race still behave as if God will extend this generation for them. If we had no 2001 years B.C. , how do you think there will be 2001 years A.D.?
3. All true children of God know fully well that we have only but Seven Church Ages and not eight and we are living in the Seventh Church Age which is Laodicea. After the Seventh Church Age, the next thing according to the Holy Scriptures is the ushering of the Bride of Christ into Millennium (One full and complete Sabbath rest of the Lord with His people).
4. The fact that all Newscasters in the Radio, Television, Newspapers and all free thinkers, now point people to the next Millennium, is a sure indicator that the world has become apprehensive of the passing away of this generation.
5. Let no man deceive you my friends, this generation will soon pass away like other previous ones but in a very disastrous and gloomy note like the previous ones.
6. The entire human race is sitting on a time bomb that will explode at a time that beats the imagination of all mankind. In other previous generations, only very few survived and this our generation will not be an exception.
7. The Almighty God provided a place of safety through the ordained watchman for each generation that passed away and the same thing He has repeated again through His ordained Watchman for our generation.
8. I want you to remember that the Watchman of each of the previous generations were despised, mocked, laughed at and treated with contempt and disrespect and the chosen place of safety was the greatest stumbling block hence many people could not believe they could find refuge in the Watchman and the place of Safety. But every Elect of God, who is always a part of what God is doing in his day, finds no difficulty in obeying God’s Voice for his day.
9. If after going through this Voice of the Watchman for the hour, you are convinced that is the Voice of God to all mankind, please, request for our free publications: “Cry out against the System,” “Hard Truth,” The Last Trumpet,” “Behold the Man of Sin,” and so many other books by the Bride of Christ Ministry worldwide. They will be mailed to you free of charge.
10. May the God of revelation, reveal to you the hour we are living in so that you will escape His wrath.
11. This is not the time to play religion or to be entangled with the politics that is associated with religion. It is a time for action.
12. God is no respecter of persons or association. Your denomination is meaningless as far as this matter is concerned. There is no reasonable excuse before God. You cannot blame your Pastor or Overseer on this matter. This is purely a personal matter with your Maker Who has passed sentence on our generation because of widespread evil as He did to other past generations that existed before our own.
13. This matter is not negotiable. There is fire on the mountain, The Lord is making a speedy riddance upon the Earth and no flesh shall be saved except those that have received Him Whom He has sent and have taken refuge in the only place of safety He has chosen for all His elect.
14. Your position in the Society or Church means nothing in this matter. Your Silver and Gold will be useless nonsense. Whoever that is not found hiding in that chosen and approved place of safety, surely shall be destroyed whether great or small.
15. Make haste. Do not resign your fate to nature. Believe the last Voice of the Watchman God has given to your generation. Although he is despised and rejected by many, Yet he has remained the mouthpiece of God in these last days.
16. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17. Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
18. Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
19. And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
20. Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
21. An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
22. The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
23. Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
24. And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.” (Ezekiel 7: 1-9 KJV).
25. ” And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
26. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Gen. 6:12-13 KJV).
27. From the Bible passages above, one can clearly see that God has never failed to proclaim the end of any generation to His people before ever He destroys or passes judgement upon that generation.
28. Before the generation of Noah came to an end, God declared it as we could read in Genesis chapter six as quoted above.
29. When the city of Sodom and Gomorrah were to be brought to an end, God’s judgement, God announced it to Abraham:
30. And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
31. And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
32. Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
33. For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
34. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
35. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
36. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
37. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? (Gen. 18: 16-23 KJV).
38. God Himself investigated things for Himself and after His findings; the city of Sodom and Gomorrah were billed for destruction. However, one should note very well that God’s Messengers declared the end of the city even ahead of time to God’s own elect in that age before the destruction and end of that city came.
39. “And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters? and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
40. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.” (GEN. 19:12-13 KJV).
41. I am saying that God in His Mercy and love had always announced the end of every passing generation to the people of that generation regardless whether they will pay heed to the warning Voice of God or not.
42. Before the city of Jericho was brought to an end and destruction, the messengers of God equally announced to the elect of God in that city (Rehab and her father’s house) as recorded in the book of Joshua chapter 2. God declared the end of very many nations in the Holy Bible because God hardly condemn any nation or individual without first of all warning that nation or individual.
43. Historians have always told us that every two thousand years there is always a great event upon the face of the Earth. My question is, what great event do you expect to happen during this fast approaching year 2000?
44. We know that the World is about to reach her sixth thousand years since Creation. From Adam to Noah was two thousand years, and from the time of Noah to the time of Christ’s first Advent was two thousand years. Now we are counting our dates within the year of the Lord (Christ) which is in Latin word “ANNO DOMINI” (A.D.) By our Calendar we have it that from the birth of our Lord Christ till date, the World has lasted 1999 years and some fractions of months. Can this Jesus’ generation come to an end without God passing judgement upon it?
END TIME EVENTS PROPHESIED
45. Let us look further into the Holy Bible and consider some events in this end time that will help open ones eyes of understanding to know that surely we have come to the end of this generation.
INCREASE IN TRAVELLING AND EDUCATION
46. “But Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal it up so that it will not be understood until the end times, when travel and education shall be vastly increased!” (Dan 12:4 LB).
47. When Prophet Daniel enquired to know when a vision given to him would be fulfilled, the Angel of God told him that it would happen at the end time. The Angel gave a clear indication on how to know when the end time is come. He revealed that there will be increase in knowledge (Education, Science) and increase on men travelling to and fro to various parts of the globe. Even the least learned person on Earth today, knows very well that there has never been a time when men travelled round the globe than this generation.
48. Quest for education has increased so much that provision has been made for adult education. We can now boast of teenage graduates. Advance in Scientific endeavours are very clear, therefore we can rightly say that knowledge has increased according to the Holy Bible for we are at the end time.
INCREASE IN POPULATION, CRIME AND CORRUPTION, IMMORALITY, WOMEN BEAUTY AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
49. “And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
50. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
51. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
52. They 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. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
53. But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
54. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
55. Remember Lot’s wife.” (Luke 17:26-33).
56. Jesus likened this generation to Noah’s and Lot’s generations. For this reason, we have to read further some events that took place in both Noah’s and Lot’s days to ascertain whether the end time generation which Jesus likened to Noah’s and Lot’s generations has actually come.
57. “When mankind had spread all over the world, and girls were being born, some of the heavenly beings saw that these girls were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked.
58. Then the LORD said, ‘I will not allow people to live for ever; they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than a hundred and twenty years’.
59. In those days and even later, there were giants on the earth who were descendants of human women and the heavenly beings.
60. They were great heroes and famous men of long ago. When the LORD saw how wicked everyone on earth was and how evil their thoughts were all the time, He was sorry that He had ever made them and put them on the earth.
61. He was so filled with regret that He said, ‘I will wipe out these people I have created, and also the animal and the birds, because I am sorry that I made any of them’.
62. But the LORD was pleased with Noah.” (GEN. 6:1-8 GNB).
63. “Before the guests went to bed, the men of Sodom surrounded the house. All the men of the city, both young and old, were there. They called out to Lot and asked, ‘Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out for us.’ The men of Sodom wanted to have sex with them.”(GEN. 19:4-5 GNB).
64. We can easily agree by the help of the Holy Scriptures that the end time generation must be like the days of Noah and Lot. We have population problem today as in Noah’s day. We have increase in violence, crimes etc, as in Noah’s and Lot’s days. Our women today with the help of make-ups and other cosmetic appliances look very fair and beautiful as in the days of Noah and Lot. Social activities like marriage is very much pronounced.
65. There is competition in building of expensive houses. Commercial activities (selling and buying) are on top gear. Immorality and sex perversion, (Homo-sexualism and lesbianism) are talk of the day as in Lot’s generation. All these pointers are for us to know when we are ushered into the endtime. We are all witnesses that these events have been made manifest for a long time around us to the point that we now cry like Sodom for God to do something. Don’t we believe that God must do something? And He will do no other thing than what He did in the past against such guilty generations. God destroyed them without any mercy to all the ungodly.
RESTORATION OF THE FIG TREE (ISRAEL)
66. These prophecies concerning the restoration of Israel as a nation are scattered all over the entire Bible. They are no longer prophecies yet to be fulfilled, rather they are events (even past events) that ,have been made clear by prophecy. Israel is now fully settled in her homeland, with her own national flag and every other thing which make up a full fledged nation. Before May 14th, 1948 (when Israel fully became a nation), it was very hard for people to believe those prophecies concerning the regathering of the scattered people of Israel. Today those prophecies are no longer future but past events (history) before our very eyes in this generation as we witnessed the resurrection of the dry bones as recorded in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37.
67. “Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.” (Jer. 30:10 KJV).
68. ” Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
69. But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.” (Jer. 23:7-8 KJV).
70. ” And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
71. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:” (Ezekiel 37:21-22 KJV).
72. “The sovereign LORD says to His people; I will signal to the nations, and they will bring your children home. Kings will be like fathers to you, Queens will be like mothers. They will bow low before you and honour you; they will humbly show their respect for you. Then you will know that I am the LORD; no one who waits for my help will be disappointed.”(Isa. 49:22-23 GBN).
73. “They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.” (Hos. 11: 11)
74. Through the help of kings of nations including United States of America, and Queens of nations like the Queen of England, the above Bible prophecies became fulfilled as Israel was restored as a nation to her own land in these last days as predicted by the Bible. They were brought back from far and wide through various kinds of means of transport including the dove-like (bird-like) means of transport—The Aeroplane, which jerkingly carried them back to their homeland from different nations as the Bible predicted. We would not lay more emphasis on this matter because it is now history that has taken place in this generation.
WARS, RUMOURS OF WARS, EARTHQUAKES, PESTILENCES, ETC
75. The above end time events need not to be over-emphasised because we are witnesses that these things are prevalent all over the globe as Jesus said they would takeplace as the events of the end time when His disciples enquired from Him how they could know the time of the end of the destruction of Jerusalem, Christ’s second coming, and the end of the World.
76. The entire chapters of Matthew 24, St. Mark 13, and St. Luke 21 revealed all these end time events which had fulfilled long time ago. History had it that in A.D. 70, General Titus of Rome, destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem with his Roman Army and since then Jerusalem has remained being troubled and trampled under feet by the Gentiles until the restoration of Israel as a nation by the year 1948. Troubles, global diseases, etc have all taken place. We are witnesses of various calamities that have befallen the world as predicted in the Holy Bible.
THE RE-EMERGENCE OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM SIGNALS END OF GENTILE DISPENSATION
77. “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24 KJV).
78. “They will be brutally killed by enemy weapons, or sent away as exiles and captives to all the nations of the world; and Jerusalem shall be conquered and trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of Gentile triumph ends in God’s good time.” (Luke 21:24 LB).
79. “Some will be killed by the sword, and others will be taken as prisoners to all countries; and heathens will trample over Jerusalem until their time is up.” (Luke 21:24 Goodnews Bible).
80. No heathen nation can ever boast of conquering the nation of Israel in any war since they became a nation of their own in 1948. Rather than being conquered, we witnessed Israel! humiliating her foes. The Six days war in 1967 against Arabs was an eye opener to the world. It is the Word of God fulfilling, the Gentile days are over, they can never succeed in trampling over Jerusalem again, because they have returned according to prophecy in the Word of God.
GOD HAS PASSED JUDGEMENT AGAINST OUR GENERATION LIKE HE DID TO OTHER PAST GENERATIONS
There has never been a generation that passed withoutGod passing judgement against it. The generation of Noah experienced God’s judgement, Lot’s generation was judged before it finally was destroyed. The city of Jericho was equally judged before it was destroyed. Yet in all these passed generation God in His love did save very few that obeyed His Messenger in their day by running to the provided place of safety.
2. Yes, God had never been guilty of destroying the righteous with the wicked. Before ever God destroys any generation, He had always made a provision for the safety of the few righteous that will be saved.
3. In the day of Noah, the Ark made by Noah was the place of safety, in the days of Lot, there was a mountain provided as a place of safety for God’s people in that day. At Jericho, the house of Rahab the harlot was the only place of safety. Before the city of Jerusalem became besieged and destroyed by the Roman Army, Jesus had earlier pointed His people to hide in the mountains as the only place of safety and history has it that no Christian died during those horrible days in Jerusalem.
4. One thing you must bear in mind is that God’s salvation had remained for few people in every age. In Noah’s day only eight souls were saved, in Lot’s day only three souls were saved, in the city of Jericho only a family also was saved (Rahab and his father’s household). You can now see why people always stumble in every age because the place of safety is very “Little in size” by their own assessment.
5. People had always asked this question inevery age: “Do you mean thatGod will destroy the whole people and spare only you?”How can this little place you call the provided place of safety accommodate everybody?” “How can you convince us that God spoke to you that you and your place of safety received God’s approval?”
6. Because of these questions therefore, people despise God’s provided place of safety to their doom in every age. Looking at the Ark of Noah one can easily reason how such little ark built on top of a mountain could contain the entire world. In Lot’s day, one can easily reason how God can save somebody by asking him to run away from beautiful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and follow Lot and his two daughters into a nearby bush or forest in the mountains.
7. There in Jericho, one can easily reason how God could neglect the families of Virgins in Jericho, how God could neglect the family of their priest and Chief Priests and point everybody to a harlot’s (Rahab’s) house. It sounds foolish yet that was God’s provided place of safety for those generations because God cannot pass a sentence against any generation without providing a place of safety for the remnant that will survive in that age.
THE QUESTION ARISES: HAS GOD PASSED ANY SENTENCE AGAINST THIS GENERATION AND IS THERE ANY PLACE OF SAFETY BY GOD FOR THIS GENERATION?
8. Surely God has passed His righteous sentence against this generation because they have become guilty of not doing the works of God for this age which is the guilt of man in all the past ages.
9. “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
10. They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?” (John 6:28-30 KJV).
11. There has never been an age past without God sending a man with a Message that will reveal to the people of God in that age, God’s provided place of safety in that age. But the guilt of man in every age is that people will go at all lengths with their various religious activities. They will be busy preaching their own messages, praying and fasting doing all religious rites they know, but fail to believe, welcome, acknowledge, trust, adhere, rely on the man from God with God’s Message of Salvation for that age.
12. Many people claimed they equally heard from God in the generations of Noah and Lot, thereby countering whatever Message Noah and Lot preached. They pointed people to their self-provided places of safety, but what happened in the end? I believe also that many did not take the harlot Rahab seriously when she told some people that God had made her house a place of safety for anyone who wanted to escape God’s judgement againstJericho.
13. Everyone has a right by his Message to point wherever he feels is a place of safety, but God will vindicate theMan He has sent and the Message He had approved and the place of safety because we have come to the end of the road.
14. Do you know that outside the BRIDE OF CHRIST every other denomination and religious groups are in Babylon? What we have on the land today in thisage is Babylon religion, and theVoice of God in this age is that all God’s people should come out of Babylon and go back to Zion.
15. Come out of all denominations, confusions, divisions and get back to the Word of God revealed in His true Church. For God had concluded every denomination in unbelief.
16. “For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
17. Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
18. And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
19. Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
20. She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
21. Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.” (JER. 15:5-10 KJV).
22. … “So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
23. And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
24. Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate forever.
25. And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
26. And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” (JER. 51:60-64 KJV).
27. God has determined to destroy Babylon and her religion. Everyone found therein must be destroyed alongside with her.
28. ” Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” (ZEPH. 3:8 KJV).
29. God has permitted all denominations to gather together through the confederation of Churches so that they all will be one with Babylon and receive God’s wrath, for two cannot walk together except they agreed. In the same manner God purposed to destroy the nations of the world when they will take side with Gog and Magog to gather against the nation of Israel in the battle of Armageddon—then God will destroy them as one common enemy.
30. “Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
31. And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
32. Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying , Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.” (EZEK.3:10-12 KJV).
33. The LORD spoke to my ears to warn you to stay away from Babylon whether you will hear or not. God said you should not associate yourself with her or any of her allies in worshiping God because they all have been concluded in unbelief by the Holy Word of God irrespective of their false associations and confederation.
34. “Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
35. Take counsel together and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
36. For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
37. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
38. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” (ISAIAH 8:9-13 KJV).
39. “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” (Isaiah 54: 15 KJV).
40. This is not the time to gang up against the Word of God. It is no longer time to romance with any denomination or religious association. The Voice of God is still shouting: “Come out of her my people and be ye not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (REV. 18:4).
41. Looking at the way things are going, it appears these things will be prolonged. Prophet Habakkuk who saw things that will transpire at the end time revealed how it would happen.
42. “And the Lord said to me, “Write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell the others. But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!” (Habakkuk 2:2-3 Living Bible).
43. For many years now, these end time events have been taking place slowly, steadily and surely. Whatever has a beginning has an end. We have come to the end of this generation. God has determined to destroy all nations“For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
44. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.” (Isaiah 66: 15-16 KJV).
45. “Just wait, the LORD says wait for the day when I rise to accuse the nations. I have made up my mind to gather nations and kingdoms, in order to let them feel the force of my anger. The whole earth will be destroyed by the fire of my fury” (Zeph. 3:8 GNB).
46. The time of the fulfillment of these scriptures has come. All nations are going to receive God’s punishment any moment from now. We are witnesses that every facet of life is corrupt even more than the days of Noah and Lot. Therefore, if God spares our generation without destroying it, He will tender unreserved apology to Sodom and Gomorrah for destroying them, but I know that every Word of God is yea, and Amen, so God will keep His Word.
47. Every generation that passed away did not witness Salvation for all people in those past generations. In the days of NOAH only eight souls weresaved. In the days of Lot only three souls were saved. In Jericho only the family of Rahab was saved. After Jesus Christ had preached for many years, the Bible recorded that only one hundred and twenty persons were the saved ones who were assembled in the upper room on the day of PENTECOST. This is why you have to flee for your lifebecause only very few people will escape the impending wrath of God.
48. “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
49. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” (Luke 13:23-24 KJV).
50. “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
51. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7: 13-14 KJV).
52. The provision for destruction is for many people, while the provision made for salvation is for few people.Do not first relax; flee for your life because God is bent on destroying the majority of the people of the Earth because of their evils which have become hateful in His sight. He is not destroying the present world as a result of the evils they know not but because of the evils they know very well, that have become a way of life in this generation.
72 HOURS OF GLOBAL DARKNESS BEFORE THE END OF THIS GENERATION
§ Roman Catholics heap up Candle sticks.
§ Scientists store solar energy
§ Pentecostals intensify fasting and praying
§ Others resign their fate to nature.
2. Below is an excerpt from Body and Soul Magazine of 5th April, 1999 (Page 4). “All through the six continents of the world, there exist growing tension, and anxiety and fears over what many people have described as ” imminent doom” that would soon hit mankind.
3. The talk is rife in Europe. It is gaining apprehension in America. The Asians are perplexed at the currency of discussions among people. Africans, much known for their conservatism, having largely adopted a “Siddon look” approach to the issue.
4. But seers, prophets, Christians, scientists, fortune tellers and layabouts, have all contributed their bits and pieces to the controversy surrounding the event. Yet, no one of them has a clear idea about the exact date or time when the great event would be splashed on the world. The prophecy that our world, between now and the year two thousand may experience a thick, unprecedented darkness for three days (covering averagely seventy two hours) has sparked off deep researches, writings, preachings, arguments and other activities, all to find answers to the obviously panicky long hours of darkness.
5. Already, spiritual experts are having a field day (and, they seem, to out do one another) in trying to educate those who care to seek solutions to the dangers of the alleged global blackout. But in going about answering peoples question on the issue, further problems are being raised, more predictions are being made, assumption tables are being drawn, all further compounding a strange issue that the three day universal darkness is.
6. According to some seers, the alleged three days darkness, should not be associated with eclipse of the sun or moon. What is to come, they say, has no explanation in human history
7. A remarkable feature which our team of reporters encountered during the search for answer to the thorny issue, was the consistent contrast in opinions of those who were questioned. Each and several commentators maintained distant position by voiding direct answer to the issue. Church leaders spoken to, agreed uniquely, that our world would’ experience a great transformation. When? They cannot quite say, rather referring to and quoting from the Holy Bible that God Himself alone, knows how events would turn the universe and humanity around.
8. This inference caused our reporters, to pose few direct questions: Would the three day darkness signify the end of the earth and humanity? Would there still be life after those long hours of darkness? Who are those likely to survive the events? Are there remedies at all?
9. Giving Spiritual insight into the phenonena, Pastor Umoh James Umoh, in his book “How to survive the 72 Hours of Total Darkness, Flood, Calamities and Fire Disaster” explained that “there will not be any type of form of light. Matches will not scratch. Electricity will provide none.” According to him “the implication is that there will be no fire to cook food because of the thickness of the darkness.
10. Umoh explains further: “The world has never experience this kind of darkness so nobody can give any information about what to expect. Everything, everywhere will come to a complete stand still. You will just remain pinned down to the place where the darkness will meet you,” adding that “you will only resign your fate to Almighty God”.
11. According to one version of the story, during the Seventy-two hours of darkness, human beings on Earth would be subjected to deep sleep. While that will be on, their souls will go up to heaven for judgement. When and where such souls are discharged and acquitted, they would eventually return to their original bodies and be re-awakened.
12. Yet, another school of thought hold the view that changes would occur in body forms. These, they attribute, to individual lifestyle, relationship with the Creator and the eating habit maintained by individuals prior to the coming of the alleged three days darkness. The same group counselled and encouraged vegetarianism and fruitarians as eating habit which bring humanity closer to nature.
13. Good and harmonious relationship with the Supreme Being is said to be a major condition for surviving the dark days. Doing the Will of the Creator in our everyday life is believed to hold the passport to survival beyond the 72 hours. Social relationship with fellow human beings, caring for the needy, helping the poor and protecting the nights and liberty of common citizens, are also believed to be cardinal injunction which would bring drop of mercy on men.
14. Yet, what we eat, as individuals, is said to have implication for these dark days, Eating meat fish and chicken they say, may not directly assist soul movement of individuals.
15. However, many have wondered why foods like fish and meat which are of God’s creation should turn to be stumbling blocks for man’s journey to Eternal Glory. They refer to God’s directive in the book of Genesis that man should eat and have control over these things.
16. Three years ago, a conference of the Catholic Churches was held in Ibadan. Delegates came from different parts of the country. Issues bothering unchristian life and other natural events were discussed at the conference. Representatives from different groups and dioceses spoke during the occasion.
17. Reverend G. Ganaka the Archbishop of Jos addressed the gathering. He was said to have alluded to darkness being experienced for three days before the turn of the century.”
18. Throughout the entire Holy Bible, from the book of Genesis to Revelation, there is not even a single place or verse showing that there will be three days global darkness in the end time. Whoever that must have predicted or prophesied that there will be three days global darkness before the end of this generation by the year 2000, MUST have caught up with a glimpse of the day of the vengeance of the LORD which has been in His heart.
19. The truth about the global darkness is that it is one of the horrible events that will mark the end of this generation. It is called “the day of God’s Vengeance” or “the day of the LORD.”
20. Many Preachers and teachers have taught their followers that the day of the LORD is Sunday which is the first day of the week. They normally quote Revelation 1 : 10; “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.” (Rev. 1:10 KJV).
21. But the truth is that Apostle John the beloved, was in the island of Patmos as a result of persecution for the Gospel of CHRIST, and was drawn in the spirit into the Lord’s Day. He was shown things that must shortly come to pass in our generation and he recorded all of them in the book as Revelation according to the instruction he received from CHRIST our Lord in the island of Patmos. If you are in doubt, please, patiently follow and crosscheck the scriptures as they are being outlined in this book.
22. Also remember that the Holy Scripture is of no private interpretation: ” Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.
23. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:20-21 KJV).
24. The Scriptures interpret the Scriptures. Like I said before, I still repeat once more that the Day of the Lord is the day of God’s Vengeance. It is also the day of the redeemed because at that self same day the Bride is caught up in the air; sudden destruction will befall mankind as it was in other previous generations like Noah’s and, Lot’s generations. The year of the Redeemed is come and the day of Vengeance is in my heart says Lord God Almighty.
25. “For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.“. (Isaiah 63:4 KJV).
26. The day of the Lord is already around the corner because we are closing the history of this generation any time from now. Let us all together picture and read some of the events human race will expect in that day of the Lord that is imminent.
27. “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
28. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.” (Joel 2: 1-2 KJV).
29. The day of the Lord, the Bible said is a day of darkness and gloominess. Any wise person must accept it because the Bible bears witness to the reality of its fulfilment.
30. “And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?” (Joel 2:11 KJV).
31. “The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
32. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
33. A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
34. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
35. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.” (Zeph. 1: 14-18 KJV).
36. All the prophets saw the day of the Lord as a terrible day of gloominess and darkness. No prophet of God saw it as a rosy day. No prophet saw it as three days darkness, but a day of darkness. Although the world lingered while Noah was preaching, but it took only one day for God’s judgment to befall that age. In the days of Lot it took only one day for judgment to strike the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. It took only one day for the judgment of God to befall Jericho. Therefore, let no man fool you to think that there will be three days darkness after which you will live to see this Earth again.
37. Never has God done such thing before. The moment the Lord’s Day strikes the Earth, that will be the end of this generation and this is why nobody should sit on the fence over this matter and say, “Let the day of the Lord come now, it does not matter.”
38. Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
39. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
40. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?” (Amos 5: 18-20 KJV).
41. People take it very light to write or comment on the so-called three days darkness, but it is not so with the day of darkness from the Lord. Mere desiring the coming of that day without first looking for a safety place is a terrible thing for such a person because no man outside God’s provided place of safety can escape the Lord’s day. Your silver and gold (riches) can not save you. Your high or low towered building cannot save you.
42. Only God’s provided place of safety can save anybody who earnestly desire God’s salvation from the oncoming holocaust against this generation. Everyone is involved in this – matter no matter your position in this world, rich or poor, servant or master, military or civilian, man or woman, educated or illiterate, everybody is involved because that day will spare nobody as revealed in the Holy Bible.
43. “I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a vast earthquake; and the sun became dark like black cloth, and the moon was blood-red. Then the stars of heaven appeared to be falling to earth –like green fruit from fig trees buffeted by mighty winds.
44. And the starry heavens disappeared as though rolled up like a scroll and taken away; and every mountain and island shook and shifted.
45. The kings of the earth, and world leaders, and rich men, and high-ranking military officers, and all men great and small, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and rocks of the mountains, and cried to the mountains to crush them. “Fall on us,” they pleaded, “and hide us from the face of the one sitting on the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,
46. because the great day of their anger has come, and who can survive it?” (Rev. 6:12-17 Living Bible Translation).
47. Wouldn’t it be foolishness on the side of anyone who carelessly allow himself or herself, to experience such a terrible day which the prophets and even the Lord Jesus Christ Himself foretold in order for mankind to run into God’s, provided place of safety immediately after the persecution of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give light, and the stars will seem to fall from the heavens, and the powers overshadowing the earth will be convulsed. (Matt. 24:29 Living Bible).
48. God will surely avenge the death of His innocent people whose blood have been wasted here on Earth from the time of Abel to date.
49. “And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
50. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.” (Rev. 14:18-20 KJV).
51. The Lord’s Day is a day of God’s Vengeance and hot displeasure and wrath upon all mankind who rejected God’s provided place of safety in their generation.
52. “Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
53. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
54. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
55. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
56. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.” (Joel 3:9-15 KJV).
57. Even the Apostles who received the lively oracles by hearing directly from the mouth of CHRIST our LORD, passed the same information to the Churches concerning the great day of the LORD when all living things including the present Heaven and Earth shall be destroyed with fire from the face of the Almighty for refusing to obey the gospel of CHRIST wilfully.
58. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3: 1 0 KJV).
59. “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” (2 Peter 3:7 KJV).
60. “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
61. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
62. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (1 Thess. 5:1-3 KJV).
63. One awful thing is that the day of vengeance which is the same day of the LORD is hidden in God’s mind alone. No human being irrespective of his position know the very date. The Bible said it will come like a thief upon all the ungodly outside God’s Ark of Salvation in that age. The Bible further revealed that it will take place when people are comforting themselves of having peace and safety. We are aware that no generation has proclaimed peace and safety more than this our generation. Everywhere is the cry for peace. Every effort has been made politically, socially, economically and religiously for harmony and stability.
64. Many have heaved a sigh of relief that at last mankind has now understood each other, hence, we have become politically united as nations through United Nation Organization (U.N.O.), and religiously United through World Council of Churches. The entire World now feels there is peace and safety in their organizations. But God’s Word declares otherwise that when they shall say peace and safety, at that time, certain destruction will befall mankind on the Lord’s Day because they refused to obey the Gospel of Christ.
65. ” Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
66. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
67. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
68. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.” (2 Thess. 1:6-9 KJV).
69. My dear reader, you may be tempted to ask whether the ever loving God can unleash this type of miserable condition to human beings He has created. The answer is not far fetched. He has done it before and yet remained the ever loving and compassionate God. He has revealed to His mouthpiece in this generation that He will repeat it in our generation and yet He will not change.
70. You may ask, “How can one be sure that God has revealed the end of this generation and the calamities that will climax the end of the dispensation?” The following scriptures can help your faith to a large extent if you have a believing heart to believe His holy Word.
71. “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. ” (Amos 3:7 KJV).
72. You can see that the Almighty God will do nothing without first revealing it to His chosen mouthpiece He has sent and vindicated for that dispensation. Before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, He revealed His hidden plan to no other person than Abraham the prophet and mouthpiece of God in the age.
73. “And the LORD said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;” (Gen. 18: 17 KJV).
74. When God came to Sodom and Gomorrah for destruction of the cities, He revealed His hidden plan to Lot:“ And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters? and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
75. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.” (Gen. 19:12-13 KJV).
76. When He wanted to demolish Jericho, He revealed His hidden plan to the Harlot Rahab (who by divine favour was chosen to escape God’s wrath upon the city of Jericho).
77. In all the above cases, each of them was privileged to receive or welcome God’s Messengers that were sent to them gladly. “The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
78. According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
79. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
80. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
81. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” (Deut. 18: 15-19 KJV).
82. The person God has always sent to warn His people has always been called from among his kins folk and over familiarity has always hindered people from taking’ their warnings serious. This has been the evil of other previous generations and is repeating in our generation. God’s mouthpiece in every generation had remained very unpopular, never identified with the clergy of his day and his Message has remained different from other Messages that existed on the land before his emergence. A perfect example is found in the book of 1 Kings Chapter 22.
83. There we find four hundred prophets of Israel saying the same Message in favour of Ahab and his government and Micaiah the prophet of God speaking a different Message contrary to all that the numerous prophets of Israel had said. Yet it was that lonely voice of Prophet Micaiah that revealed the true mind of God over the matter.
84. In the time of Jeremiah, his Message stood out different from all that the peoples’ prophets of Israel told them. While Jeremiah prophesied that the captivity would last for seventy years, some false prophets said that the people would not go into captivity at all, while some said the captivity will last only for seven years. Nevertheless, God vindicated the voice of His mouthpiece although all other prophets joined together as one to speak confederation messages to please their nation.
85. God’s Messenger and his Message in every dispensation has remained laughing stock and his message labelled false. People only realized their folly when it was too late. This ugly situation is bound to repeat in our day whether we like it or not.
86. “And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.”(Hosea 12:13 KJV).
87. The ministry of a prophet in God’s eternal plan of Salvation of His people cannot be overemphasized. Anybody or group of persons, worshiping God in any of the so called Church or gathering, where there is nobody that will hear directly from God and declare same to them is worshiping God in blindness and is risking his or her life. There must be an ordained and vindicated person with heavenly vindication that is so supernatural and scriptural that Satan cannot impersonate, who the congregation must look upon at all time to know the mind of God at every hour.
88. ” And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” (2 Chro. 20:20 KJV).
89. You mustbelieve and trust God’sVindicated Watchman for yourday or else you must bedestroyed with the wicked whenthe fury and anger of the Lord shall be revealed against the children of disobedience who have refused to accept the wholesome Gospel of Christ for selfish reasons.
90. ” Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
91. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Mal.4:5-6 KJV).
92. ” Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
93. That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation.” (Luke 11:49-50 KJV).
94. If God never promised to send to us Apostles and Prophets besides the twelve that were with Him in the very beginning, we have every reason to doubt the appearance or emergence of any Apostle or Prophet in our day. But since it was promised in the Holy Scriptures, we have to pray that they will come and be prepared to welcome and accept their messages.
95. There were some other Apostles besides the first twelve, even before Saint Paul was called to be an Apostle, Prophet and Teacher to the Gentiles: “Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.” (2 Tim. 1:11 KJV).
96. “Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.” (2 Tim. 2:7 KJV)
97. “Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.” (Rom. 16:7 KJV).
98. When all those Apostles and Prophets were killed during the Roman Catholic Inquisition of the early Church, the entire world rolled into the period of Dark Age because the light which was the Gospel Truth, was suppressed to the point that mere handling of the Holy Bible attracted death sentence.
99. The LORD God Almighty promised the restoration of all things including the Church before the end of this generation and He has accomplished it to the letter. Is there any way He could have restored His Church without first of all sending His own chosen and vindicated Apostles and Prophets upon whom the foundation of the Church is laid? The answer is “No.”
100. “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” (Eph. 2:19-20 KJV).
101. In other to bring His Church to perfection, He ordained the five fold Ministry as can be seen in the following passages of the Holy Scriptures: ” And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
102. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
103. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Eph. 4:11-13 KJV).
104. “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. ” (1 Corin. 12:28 KJV).
105. For the purpose of revealing His hidden purpose to His own elect in this generation, He has ordained and called His chosen and vindicated Vessels into the office of Apostles and Prophets: “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
106. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” (Eph. 3:4-5 KJV).
107. From the above passage, you can now see that God does not reveal His hidden plans to any Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, but to His Holy Apostles and Prophets. If you are sitting down and clappingyour hands in the name ofJesus in a group or gathering where these scripturally ordained and called offices are absent or silent, let it be known to you that the wrath of God will take you by surprise. You must find out where God has revealed such men and messengers from God in this generation.
108. Wherever they are found, must hold a sure hope of Salvation for mankindbecause they must know the mind of God over whatsoeverGod is determined to do in theirday. Selah.
GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP AND REFUGE
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
2. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
3. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:19-24 KJV).
4. Somebody can sincerely worship God amiss. When someone worships God in the mountain like the Samaritans, whereas Jerusalem was God’s approved place of worship, that means worshiping God in error. The same way someone can take refuge sincerely in a place that do not have God’s mighty protection over it. This is why it is very necessary for someone to investigate the origin of his or her place of worship and refuge before identifying himself therein to offer his sacrifice of praise, clapping his hands or kneeling down to worship.
5. Inherited religion is very dangerous. Looking at the woman of Samaria who argued with Jesus Christ on God’s Chosen place of worship and refuge, one can notice that she was defending an inherited religion. She worshiped in the Mountain because she met her fathers worshiping in the mountain, yet she didn’t know that their worship in the mountain at Samaria was in disobedience to God’s instruction Who commanded all Israelites at that time to worship Him in the temple at Jerusalem.
6. You can be born into one denomination or the other, following your Parents to worship God in your own way and chosen place of worship, however, you should find out whether that place is the perfect will of God for His people. Find out whether your worship is in accordance with the Word of God. Find out also whether God Himself by His entire unchanging Word established that very place.
7. If you are sincere and discover that God has no hand there, you will act like the woman of Samaria by following the anointed Man of God who had revealed the mind of God to you concerning your erroneous ways to the provided place of worship and safety approved of God in your day. It is unfortunate to say that people blindly argue today that they are born into one denomination or the other and that they will remain and even die there regardless of whatever the Word of God says against them and their group. Others argue that their family belong to one denomination or the other and that none of their family members will abandon their family denomination or Church till death.
8. It is one’s right to argue that way, but why not be sincere, and find out the origin of that denomination you belong to, whether it is patterned after original apostolic Church in the Bible or not. It is not dying there that matters. Rather it is dying where God can count you as one of His own.
9. “O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.” (Jer. 16:19 KJV).
10. From the above Scriptures, one can see very clearly that our fathers inherited from their ancestors nothing but lies, falsehood and vanity. And passed the same thing they inherited even to their own children up to this very generation. There is no truthful man or woman living today that cannot say or agree that whatever he is holding as tradition or doctrines from any denomination was passed unto him from their fathers.
11. Even Roman Catholics recite in their Catechism that Catechism is a teaching that is handed down to them from their ancestors, which is the Word of God that is not found in the Holy Bible but it is truth. One starts to wonder who spoke this Word of God that is truth that is not found in the Holy Bible. Common sense proves that it is just lies, falsehood and vanity because the Bible warns that we should not add or subtract from the written Word of God.
12. “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
13. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (REV 22: 18-19 KJV).
14. “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” (DEUTR. 4:2 KJV).
15. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (ISAIAH 8:20 KJV).
16. Every effort that has been made to disarm the Roman Catholic and her daughters of these false traditions and doctrines they inherited from their fathers without properly investigating into the truth thereof has proved abortive. It is no wonder then that alldenominations today have a very clever way of laying aside the word of God in order to make sure that the false traditions and doctrines they inherited from their fathers will stand. By this they make the Word of God of non effect.
17. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
18. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
19. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” (Mark 7:7-9 KJV).
20. “It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach manmade rules as though they were God’s laws! You put aside God’s command and obey the teachings of men. And Jesus continued, you have a clever way of rejecting God’s law in order to uphold your own teaching.” (MARK 7:7-9. Goodnews Bible).
21. Whether we like it or not, some people are bound to worship God in vain in this generation. Worshiping God or taking refuge outside God’s provided place as revealed by His holy apostles and prophets upon whom the foundation of the church is laid means worshiping God in vain. Anybody putting on an argument no matter how strong it is over a revealed matter in the Holy Scriptures is a sheer waste of time, and an exercise in futility.
22. Can we say that there are no people today that are gathering in the Name of Christ our Lord or Jehovah simply because they inherited it from their fathers although it is contrary to God’s revealed plan in the Holy Scriptures? This is why we must properly enquire and investigate with the help of the holy Scriptures whether what we are holding fast as our faith or religion is in agreement with God’s revealed plan.
23. I say this because our fathers inherited an impossible system and followed an impossible road that led to doom disappointment and destruction. But we thank Almighty God who by Grace has given us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die in our place as a ransoms that might be delivered from the impossible system and road we inherited from our fathers thinking it will lead us to heaven.
24. “God paid a ransom to save you from the impossible road to heaven which your fathers tried to take, and the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver as you very well know.” (1 PETER 1:18 Living Bible).
25. “Christ came with this new agreement so that all who are invited may come and have forever all the wonders God has promised them. For Christ died to rescue them from the penalty of the sins they had committed while still under that old system.“(HEBR. 9:15 Living Bible).
26. “Yes, the old system of priesthood based on family lines was cancelled because it didn’t work. It was weak and useless for saving people. 19 It never made anyone really right with God. But now we have a far better hope, for Christ makes us acceptable to God, and now we may draw near to him.“(HEBR. 7:18-9 Living Bible).
27. “Yet that old system of law that led to death began with such glory that people could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For as he gave them God’s law to obey, his face shone out with the very glory of God–though the brightness was already fading away.
28. Shall we not expect far greater glory in these days when the Holy Spirit is giving life? If the plan that leads to doom was glorious, much more glorious is the plan that makes men right with God.”(2 COR. 3:7-9 Living Bible).
29. “But Christ has bought us out from under the doom of that impossible system by taking the curse for our wrongdoing upon himself. For it is written in the Scripture, “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is cursed” (as Jesus was hung upon a wooden cross).” (GALATIANS 3:13 Living Bible).
30. The above Scriptures speak for themselves that our fathers really inherited an impossible system and followed an impossible road and handed the same over to us. Till today many have found it extremely hard to divorce this old and impossible way to enable them get connected with the new and living way by which true children of God can get to heaven.
31. “Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.” (ST. JOHN 9:28-29 KJV).
32. “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.” (HEBREWS 10:19-20 KJV).
33. Every true elect of God in every dispensation must always strive to be connected and to be a part also of what God is doing in his day without raising any unnecessary argument or resistance which emanates from human reasoning due to selfishness and favouritism. For example Moses told the people of Israel that the Lord their God would raise a prophet like unto him from among them, not a foreigner and him alone they must hear and obey if they must find safety in the hand of God. The people found it very difficult to obey the statement.
34. That was why when Jesus the Christ was sent in fulfilment to this prophecy the people told Him in His face that they were Moses disciples and nothing will make them to identify, recognize and follow Him.
35. “Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.” ( John 9:28-29 KJV).
36. When John the Baptist appeared on the scene and was sent to the wilderness to baptise for the purpose of revealing the Lord Jesus Christ to the people of Israel as their long awaited Messiah, Saviour, Redeemer and last Hope, some refused to follow Jesus Christ; but the elect abandoned John and his traditions, and doctrines and identified, recognized and followed the Lord Jesus Christ for the safety of their souls. It was as a result of the impossible system and road that led to doom, disappointment and destruction which our fathers followed blindly, that made Almighty God to point them to the faith of their children in these last days restoration who were privilege by Election of Grace to get there. But the true elect of God identified, recognized, and followed the Lord Jesus Christ and found refuge and safety in Him.
37. It was as a result of the impossible system and road that led to doom, disappointment and destruction which our fathers followed blindly, that made Almighty God to point them to the faith of their children in these last days of restoration who were privileged by election of grace to get the revelation of the new and living way that has made the journey to heaven possible to those that will believe and abide in that revealed way.
38. “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (MALACHI 4:5-6 King James Version).
39. As a result anybody that is not restored to this apostolic faith, conduct, order and doctrine as revealed to the churches by God’s holy Apostles and prophets, he is standing on a sinking ground and must surely sink when the anger and fury of the Lord shall be revealed against the world in this last generation for disobeying His word.
40. From the afore going explanations, one can now see the danger and awful effect of continuing in inherited religion without proper investigation with the help of Holy Scriptures, with a view to ascertain the truth about his religion or belief. You can evolve the idea of building your own Church or synagogue, or starting a movement, or ministry, all in the name of Jesus Christ or Jehovah, and point your followers there as a place of worship and safety or refuge, but as long as it is not the place God has chosen to place His Name by vindicating it with the SHEKINAH CLOUD, which has been and has remained His supernatural presence among His people in all the ages, all that are found in that your congregation, assembly, mission, Ministry, or Fellowship, must be destroyed when the anger of the Lord shall be revealed from Heaven against mankind because of wilful disobedience to the words of His holy Apostles and Prophets.
41. Somebody did it in the land of Israel to hinder the people of God from worshiping Him and taking refuge in the approved place of God and the Lord did not take it kindly with that man. His Churches which he built at Dan and Bethel together with his followers were condemned by the Lord because there is no good way of doing a wrong thing and there is no reasonable excuse before God. To be compassionate is to do the will of God and God also watches over His word to perform them.
42. “And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
43. If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
44. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
45. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made a house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.”(1 Kings 12:26-31, King James Version).
46. The above scriptures nakedly exposed Jeroboam’s motive of establishing his Churches. The motive was to hinder the people of God from recognizing, identifying and worshiping God in His only chosen place of worship for that dispensation. I wonder if the world can deny that they have thousands of Jeroboams today that have established their own churches which are solely their properties and that of their families in life or in death all in the name of Jesus Christ.
47. It is widely seen in the whole world today including Nigeria my own home country physically speaking, that when a General Superintendent, Overseer and the Founder of a Church so called, dies, his wife or son or a member of his family takes up the mantle of leadership of that Church or Ministry whether the congregation likes it or not. The same way Jeroboam appointed men of low repute outside the approved tribe of Levi Priests, in the same manner also these fake angels of doom appoint uncalled men and women like themselves as Pastors, Teachers, Bishops, Deacons, Evangelists, Elders, Etc. in their so-called Churches or Ministries, paying them salaries monthly to cement them in unbelief and use them as tools to blind the entire populace from recognizing and identifying with God’s vindicated chosen place of worship and safety for them.
48. “Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:12 King James Version).
49. “And the Lord replied, “That’s right, and it means that I will surely carry out my threats of punishment.” (Jeremiah 1:12 Good News Bible).
50. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:1 King James Version).
51. As long as Almighty God has revealed His only chosen place of Worship and safety in this generation, through His Holy Prophets and Apostles as He did to Noah, Lot, Rahab, etc that is final. Anybody trying to oppose it with his own human ideas philosophies, “and theological knowledge as they did also in Noah’s day will sooner or later regret his action for God is ever mindful of His Word.
52. For this reason I sound the alarm as the Watchman of this generation, to all mankind, to come out from all religious denominations and associations and run immediately unto God’s provided place of safety meant for our generation or face the wrath of God. The Lord may start His work in a Temple but the moment the temple is abused by the worshipers, He lives that place for another chosen place. Every elect of God in that place, must follow God to the new chosen place of worship no matter the distance and what it will cost them, for no price is too much to pay for Eternal Life.
53. For example, there was a time God commanded Israel to worship Him at Bethel for Bethel was the provided place of worship and safety for that dispensation. When it was abused, the Lord left Bethel and established His presence at Gilgal where even king Saul was anointed king by Prophet Samuel. Gilgal then became God’s chosen place of Worship and safety for all that wanted to be saved in that dispensation.
54. When Gilgal was abused, God left Gilgal and the entire congregation that used to gather there and went to Shiloh. Shiloh then became God’s chosen place of worship and safety with Eli as the High Priest and all Israelites travelled long distances with their tithes and offerings and went to Shiloh because that was the only place God could welcome them and their sacrifices in that dispensation.
55. Anybody worshiping God at any other place outside this chosen and provided place, no matter how good and plausible his reasons might be, was doing it amiss like the Samaritan woman and would never receive favour from God because he was acting in disobedience. A time came also when Eli and his sons messed up the temple of God at Shiloh; God moved away and established His presence at Jerusalem even till this present day. No wonder the Lord Jesus Christ corrected and reproved the Samaritan woman who wanted to continue in the disobedience of her fathers by worshiping on the Mountain instead of Jerusalem which is the approved and chosen place of worship and safety for God’s people in that dispensation.
56. The Ethiopian Eunuch also by personal revelation travelled all the way from Ethiopia in East Africa to Jerusalem by passing thousands of temples, Churches, Synagogues, Shrines like that of Roman Catholics, only to make sure that he worshiped God at God’s chosen, provided place of worship and safety for his day.
57. Today anywhere the Lord has chosen to place His Name, by establishing His Shekhinah Presence in the form of Cloud is where His people should worship Him. In the same token, any person no matter where he comes from, no matter his social standing or religious inclination whom the Lord has chosen and vindicated. His calling by displaying His Supernatural Shekhinah Cloud around him must be the Voice that the elect must listen to and follow as 10 19 as that Voice does not contradict the Holy Scriptures.
58. Whoever God sends speaks the Word of God and every true elect of God will be connected to him and be also a part of what God is doing through him in their day for God cannot do anything to human beings without using a human being. Thus, many large denominations, Churches, Ministries, Fellowships etc still gather today all over the world all in the name of Jesus Christ.
59. But from what is happening in their midst even among their clergy it is evidently clear to every truthful or sincere Christian that is knowledgeable in the Holy Scriptures that the hand of the Lord has left them. In spite of this, they still organize themselves in crusades and gather also in worship services and even make proselytes thereby enlarging hellfire according to the Holy Scriptures.
60. “Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.” (Isaiah 5: 14 King-James Version).
61. It is regrettable to note that multitudes of people still throng into such congregations of the dead while some Evangelical groups spring up in their midst with a view to reviving the dead group the hand of God has left long time ago and they knew it not due to ignorance of Holy scriptures according to the Holy Scriptures.
62. “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” (Proverbs 22: 16 King James Version).
63. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. ” (Hosea 4:6 King James Version).
64. I liken such false revival groups no matter how honest they seem to be by human estimation, as people trying to renovate and refurbish a building that is already earmarked by government authorities for demolition. Anybody that continues to reside in that house when government had given their warning and quit notice will be doing so at his own personal risk and that of his entire household, friends and well-wishers, and even relations both far and near. Do not doubt me because this is warning from God.
65. When God wanted to save Lot, He permitted him to extend the goodnews of his Salvation to his relations, in-laws, friends and well-wishers, whether they will believe or not. When God wanted to destroy Jericho, He permitted Rahab to extend the goodnews of her place of safety to her relations, friends, and well wishers also in the same manner the Watchman has been commanded to extend this goodnews to all and sundry before the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
66. Events have been made clear by prophecy. Anybody disputing or arguing or contending with this Voice of the Watchman in our day is doing it due to lack of Vision and must perish with the children of disobedience any time the anger of the Lord is revealed from the face of the Almighty against all the ungodly people who obey not the truth of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
67. “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” (proverbs 29: 18 King James Version)
68. Somebody may be tempted to ask this question, Dear writer, do you now mean that everybody must travel to Jerusalem in the Middle East today in order to worship God at His chosen place of worship and safety? The truth about this matter is clearly set out in the Holy Scriptures for God does not contradict His Word. He deals with Israel as a nation and deals with the Gentiles as a Church. The Israelites as natural Jews have their own Jerusalem which is the physical Jerusalem located in the Middle East. The Gentiles also have their own Jerusalem which is called the Galilee of the Gentiles and the Church of the First Born.
69. “The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.” (Matthew 4:15-16 King James Version).
70. ” But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.” (Hebrews 12:22-23 King JamesVersion).
71. Anybody that is worshiping God or taking refuge outside this Church which is God’s heavenly Jerusalem which He Himself isthe founder according to the Holy’ Scriptures and is called God’s heavenly Jerusalem must be destroyed with the world.
72. ” And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ” (Matthew 16: 18 King James Version).
73. Please notethe word “MY CHURCH” in the above scriptural passagequoted. The Church absolutely belongs to Christ Who is the Physical manifestation of the invisible God and the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all the things thereof. He alone is the Head and General Superintendent or Overseer of His Church. He has the pre-eminence and dominion over His Church.
74. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
75. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:16-18 King James Version).
76. How must I identify, recognize, and be a part of this Church so that I can escape the impending wrath of God that is swiftly taking the whole Worldby surprise before the end of this generation? Please request for our free booklets: CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM, HARD TRUTH, THE LAST TRUMPET, and BEHOLD THEMAN OF SIN. If you have not come across them.
77. I wish to remind you once again that God had always provided only but one place of refuge, worship and safety in every dispensation. He has repeated the same again in our generation. Anybody that was not found in that place of safety by the Lord in the previous dispensations was destroyed without mercy. This will repeat again in our day.
78. The Lord has only but one Church not many Churches for what Christ our Lord established is one Church and all His Children are called into that one body which is the Church. What He is catching away in this end time to present to Himself and not to any other person as a glorious and chaste virgin not having any spot or wrinkle, or blemish, is His Church which is called the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.
79. The Word Churches as can be seen in the Message of Jesus Christ to the Seven Church Ages in the Book of Revelation referred to the same only Church of Jesus Christ now scattered allover the world yet remained one in Headship, Conduct, order and doctrines. For it is only through the Church which is God’s Family that He can gather together in one all His Children or elect scattered all over the face of the Earth.
80. ” That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27 King James Version).
81. “And not for that nation only,but that also He should gather together in one the Children of God that were scattered abroad” (John 11 :52 King James Version).
82. ” And to explain to everyone that God is the Saviour of the Gentiles too, just as he who made all things had secretly planned from the very beginning.
83. And his reason? To show to all the rulers in heaven how perfectly wise he is when all of his family–Jews and Gentiles alike–are seen to be joined together in his Church 11 in just the way he had always planned it through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Ephesians 3:9-11 Living Bible).
84. This Church that is revealed in the Holy Scriptures is God’s own family or household and all that are God’s children are born into that family. They do not join that family but are bonafide members of that family and share in the inheritance of the Father as His dear sons and daughters. Because God the Father is sitting in heavenly places, His children also as members of His own household are sitting in the same heavenly places with Him.
85. ” Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are members of God’s very own family, citizens of God’s country, and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.
86. What a foundation you stand on now: the apostles and the prophets; and the cornerstone of the building is Jesus Christ himself!” (Ephesians 2: 19-20 Living Bible).
87. “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:6 King James Version).
88. Whoever is born into this family of God which is His Church is likened to one that has constructed his building on a solid rock. He is standing upon a firm foundation that cannot be shaken by any storm, flood, or wind or even earth quake or power of darkness. He is not afraid of any amazement by day or by night because He is already an overcomer for he possesses the faith that overcometh the world even our faith. Outside this Holy Family of God which is the Church that consists of His dear and obedient and faithful children, the rest of the entire world remains under the power and control of the Devil.
89. “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” (1 John 5:4 KJV).
90. “We know that we are children of God and that all the rest of the world around us is under Satan’s power and control.” (1 John 5: 19 Living Bible)
91. All God’s children must not have any difficulty in recognizing the Father’s family. As God’s dear children, we are sure of His protection in the time of doom and calamity because there is no living father that will not go to all lengths to protect and preserve the lives of members of his family. Therefore, if you are sure you have been born into this family by Election of Grace, fear not. This Church which is God’s Ark of Salvation or Safety or House of Refuge for all the Gentiles has no human being as its head or owner whose word or decision is final in all matters in that Church like we can witness in humanly established denominational Churches so-called where their founders or owners have the final say.
92. This Church of Christ is not a limited liability organisation in guise of a non-profits making organisation as we can see .its proliferation in the society. Some of these counterfeit Churches run higher institutions of learning and even schools and colleges, while some establish industries and other business ventures all for materials gains but it is not so with the Church of Christ. The Church of Christ teaches equality of Brethren, does not treat people with respect of persons, is free from partiality, schism, politics and divisions but is unique in all her doctrines, conduct and order as one can see with the help of the Holy Scriptures.
93. This Churches of Christ is a continuation of the Church in the wilderness according to the Holy Scriptures.
94. “This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: ” (Acts 7:38 King James Version).
95. Foolish and unwise persons compare this group or Church with others around them, but a wise person should compare his group or Church with that which is revealed in the Holy Scriptures because the Holy Scriptures correct the error.
96. If you are convinced by personal revelation that where you are even at this very moment does not compare favourably in conduct, order and doctrine of the true Church of Christ as revealed in His Holy Scriptures, please hurry out of that place at once. Do not sympathize with anybody concerning your exit and the loss or inconveniences somebody may suffer as a result of your exit. If you go ahead to consider it, surely you will perish with them because not all that carry the Bible and go to Church have good and honest intentions. From their daily lifestyle, self-seeking, self-materialism, aggrandisement and involvement in both local and national politics and even in social life, will undoubtedly convince you that they are not serious with what they profess but merely playing religion.
97. The case of Jeroboam and his churches which he established with wrong motives should teach you a lesson that all that glitters is not gold.
98. “And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
99. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.”(Gen. 35:1-3 KJV).
100. God Himself revealed to Jacob where to worship Him. God Himself revealed to Abraham the very Mount Morah where to sacrifice Isaac. Right from the very beginning (Genesis) the people of God do not worship God except where God Himself provided. This was the guilt of Jeroboam who built one altar at Dan and another at Bethel and commanded the people of Israel not to go to Jerusalem for worship because of its distance but that they should worship either in Dan and Bethel whichever that is closer to anyone who desires to worship God. Jeroboam became an idolater in the sight of God because of this great iniquity.
101. People think today that it is very easy to raise an altar of worship to the living God. I do not care how near the place might be to your house or how beautiful it might look, if it is not built in accordance with the will and word of God, your worship there is in vain.
102. Raising an altar of worship must be by the appointed vessel of God and at the appointed place by God Himself.
103. “Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
104. For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you. But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
105. Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD: And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
106. Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.”(Deut. 12:8-14 KJV).
107. Even under the Law ofMoses when the people of God had not entered the Promised Land, God forewarned them never to do whatsoever that seemed right in their own eyes by raising altar of worship wherever they chose. God commanded them to be sure that they would worship God only where God has caused His Name to dwell. God is the same and can never change. He cannot identify with people today wherever they raise an altar of worship except where He has caused His Name which is His Full Word to dwell.
108. ” And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. ” (Rev. 19: 13 KJV).
109. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 KJV).
110. The Name of God is the Word of God, and the Word of God is God Himself, therefore an easy way to find out where God has Caused His Name to dwell for us to worship Him today is to find out where the full Word of God is abiding without addition or subtraction. Sincere people of God must worship God only where. He God Himself has caused His Name to dwell because we are yet to enter into that promised rest for the people of God which is one Thousand years of millennial reign with Christ, which is around the corner.
111. Remember the moment the Saints enter that rest, that self same day they are taken away the entire world will experience that on coming disaster.
112. “Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
113. And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD… And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering… At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.” (1 Chro. 21:18-19, 26, 28 KJV).
114. Although David was a man after God’s own heart yet he never worshiped God or sacrificed to him anywhere except the place revealed by Almighty God Himself. Imagine how God abandoned all the beautiful buildings in the land of the Jebusites and chose to be worshiped at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. It has been God’s way of doing things for where people think God can not be seen is where He is found. The birth of Jesus Christ seemed very ridiculous, The Son of God (being God Himself) was born in a manger (a trough in which food is placed for cattle and horses ), Yet He was the very King of kings and Lord of lords.
115. God is hidden in simplicity. Be very careful that you do not miss His Chosen place of worship and refuge in your generation. What matters is not the nature of the man God has chosen, or the nature of the place and people God has chosen, but God’s vindicated presence in His Chosen place of worship and refuge. The same way God answered Elijah by Fire, same way He answered David and even the apostles were answered by the fire of the Holy Ghost. The same way God answered Moses by the Pillar of Cloud, same way He answered Jesus at Mount Transfiguration. What matters is the vindication that a man or people is in God’s approved way and will for their generation.
116. ” Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.” (2 Chro. 3: 1 KJV).
117. It was in this same mount Moriah where Abraham sacrificed, and there also David sacrificed, it was the same spot that King Solomon built the Temple of worship in Jerusalem, and Almighty God pledged to meet them and their need there.
118. ” Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there forever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.” (2 Chro. 7:15-16 KJV).
119. It is God that chooses a place for Himself and anytime that place is messed up God will depart from there and pitch His tent somewhere else. Your ability to discover where He has pitched His tent in your day is your victory and safety against the Lord’s Day. It is my prayer that every true seed of God will discover where this Tent is and hide him or herself inside it no matter the size and location of this Tent of safety in our generation that is soon fizzling out with a disastrous conclusion.
CONFIRMATION OF THE CHURCH AND CONFIRMATION OF THE SOULS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH
CONFIRMATION OF THE CHURCH AND CONFIRMATION OF THE SOULS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine… And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” (John 10:14, 16 King James Version).
2. “Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” (Acts 15:18 King James Version).
3. “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (Romans 8:29 King James Version).
4. There is no true shepherd thatdoes not know his sheep andwherever they are located. Heequally knows how to identifythem anytime and anywhere. Itis the same with God’s household which is likened to a flock of sheep. Even though they be scattered all over the land yet, they are identified by their nature, language and customs which differ from another people around them.
5. “So Haman told the king, ‘There is a certain race of people scattered all over your empire and found in every province. They observe customs that are not like those of any other people. Moreover, they do not obey the laws of the empire so it is not in your best interests to tolerate them.” (Esther 3:8 Goodnews Bible).
6. One can clearly see from theabove passage that people ofGod are identified by theircustoms and laws which differ from that of other people around them.
7. ” And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.” (Esther 3:8 KJV).
8. Their distinct and peculiar customs and laws come from God Himself who severed them from other people by His holy teachings that they should be His alone.
9. “And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.” (Leviticus 20:26 KJV).
10. “Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them ; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
11. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?” (DEUTH. 4:5-8 KJV).
12. I am saying that nobody should foolishly comfort himself by saying that nobody can tell which group of people that belong to God or not. By the Word of God one can now. see that people of God can be known by their laws and customs which are quite different from that of other people around them even though they be scattered all over the land, nation or earth, yet by the teachings they received from God Himself, they become a separated group from all others around them in customs, laws, conduct, order and doctrine because the people of God must have God in person for their teacher.
13. “ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” (John 6:45 KJV).
14. “It is written in (the book of) the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God (have Him in Person for their Teacher). Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to me.” (John 6: 45 Amplified Bible).
15. It is only God Himself that can give His people a uniformed and sound teaching that will uphold them wherever they are located. God does not speak like the scribes and Pharisees or uncalled men, rather God speaketh with authority knowing fully well that nobody can disprove His truthful messages and doctrines for all His people.
16. “And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.” (Mark 1 :22 KJV).
17. “But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?” (John 7:26 KJV).
18. This is why the people of God everywhere are not ashamed to identify with the Voice of God in their dispensation. They know fully well that the very source of their teachings is God in Person, and not the scribes, Pharisees, impostors who teach people in beggarly manner because of their meal tickets. He who pays the pipers dictates the tune. Such preachers that are not sent from God can never tell people the truth because once they do it, their salary is gone. But it is not so with a man sent from God. He hands down his teachings from God boldly to the people of God who welcome same for their peace and safety.
19. The Message from God for all His people in every dispensation is one. As a result of its uniformity, it is easy therefore to confirm or identify them that have received or welcomed the Voice of God in their dispensation.
20. “And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
21. Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.” (John 18:19 KJV).
22. “For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.” (1 Corinthians 4: 17 KJV).
23. “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
24. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV).
25. “But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.” (1 Corinthians 11:16 KJV).
26. The Voice of God to His people distinguishes them from every other people. People of God everywhere hear the same message from God for their dispensation and this makes it possible to confirm who belongs to the fold or not as they have one custom, laws, language, conduct, order and doctrine no matter where they are located. They receive one message from the approved vessel from God in that dispensation.
27. Apart from the Roman Catholics and Anglicans, there is no other group called Church that does the confirmation of their members. What Anglicans do is inherited from Roman Catholic from where they came out. What Roman Catholics do is an impersonation of the original thing as set out in the Holy Scriptures. Even the office of the person that does the confirmation according to the Holy Scriptures is not Bishop. Archbishop, Pope and Archdeacon are not found in the holy Bible. The person that does the confirmation of any Church must be God’s chosen and vindicated Apostles and Prophets like Paul who was an Apostle and Silas who was a Prophet.
28. “And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.” (Acts 15:40-41 KJV).
29. “And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:21-22 KJV).
30. One can clearly see from the above passages that the early apostolic Church practiced confirmation of Churches and believers who accepted the message from God which was preached in their dispensation. Right from the Old Testament we witness the confirmation of the believers.
31. In Egypt, God through Moses told the Israelites to apply the blood of the Passover lamb upon the lintel of their doors as an identification and confirmation that they are the people of God that would be delivered from the wrath of God which came upon the land of Egypt. All through the Old Testament one can see that God at one time or the other God confirmed the gathering of His people with the Pillar of Fire and Pillar of Cloud as a vindication that they are acceptable in His sight and that their sacrifices and worship were acceptable in His holy sight.
32. God in Moses confirmed the ordination of the seventy Elders of Israel and he laid his hands upon them as confirmed Elders for the work of the Lord. It was God in Moses that confirmed Joshua as the next leader for the children of Israel into the land of Canaan. Moses laid his hands upon him as a confirmation that God chose him.
33. It was God in Elijah that confirmed Elisha to succeed Elijah. Elijah laid his hands upon Elisha as a mark of confirmation. Moses laid his hands upon Aaron and confirmed him as the high priest for the children of Israel chosen by God. After Aaron, Moses laid his hand upon Eleazar son of Aaron and confirmed him the next high priest. Confirmation of the believers and confirmation of the gathering of the people of God started right from the Old Testament until the Church which started in the wilderness rolled into the New Testament with Apostles and Prophets as their leaders who do the confirmation of the souls of the believers and Churches.
34. They must first give the people the Apostolic doctrine which is the teaching of Christ our Lord, the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, which after they believe, they will be confirmed together with their souls as God’s children.
35. “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.” (Hebrews 3:1 KJV).
36. “Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
37. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
38. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
39. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
40. Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
41. And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship.”(Acts 8:14-27 KJV).
42. You must first welcome the Message or the Word of God meant for your day before ever the Apostle or prophet of God in that day lays his hands upon you to confirm you a believer and member of God’s household. No Apostle or prophet of God lays his hand on anybody who rejects his message from Almighty God for his dispensation. It is only God’s children that can hear and believe God to the saving of their souls.
43. “I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of my mine”. (John 10:14 KJV).
44. “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word…He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” (John 8:43, 47 KJV).
45. “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” (John 10:4-5 KJV).
46. You can now see very clearly that the Message from God in one’s day must be first of all welcomed before your soul and your group can be confirmed.Your ability to receive the message from God is a sure sign that you belong to God’s family, but when you reject it, that shows that you came from the devil and must be destroyed with the rest of the word. This is applicable to Holy Ghost baptism. There was nothing like that among the Gentiles before Peter the Apostle and his brethren entered into Cornelius house. In spite of all his prayers and alms and other religious rites he fulfilled, Cornelius could not be baptized with the Holy Ghost until Apostle Peter was sent by God to his household.
47. First, Peter gave him the Message for his dispensation and when he welcomed it gladly with all his heart, God gave him and membership of his household the Holy Ghost even before they were baptized in water.
48. When Paul met the twelve certain disciples of John the Baptist in Acts Chapter nineteen, he opened the eyes of their understanding by giving them the Message of their day and when they had welcomed it, he baptized them and laid his hands upon them and the Lord filled them with the Holy Ghost. Someone must confirm that you have welcomed the Message from God in your day before ever you can be filled with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost baptism is not falling down or speaking in tongues as we see people profess today.
49. Men and women of God right from the Old Testament received the Spirit of God without any of them falling down or even speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is one of the gifts of the Holy Ghost, it is not the Giver Himself, which is God and God is His Word. You can accept a gift and yet reject the Giver. This is why it is very necessary for one to pay earnest heed to the Voice of God in his day because it is there that the God sent man in every age commend the people of God and confirm them as believers and children of God.
50. “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” (Acts 20: 32 KJV).
51. Can you boldly say that there is one you know very well whose Message or Word of His grace is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified by the Word of truth? Someone must commend you to God. A man not a wind or wood must commend you to God and confirm you and your group as believers and children of God or unbelievers and children of Devil. Be certain of God in this generation unless you have made up your mind to follow the perishing people.
52. “Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute.” (Luke 11 :49 KJV).
53. We thank Almighty God who through the above Scriptures made a sure promise to us in this generation. He promised to send us Apostles and Prophets that we might be made partaker of His grace in our dispensation. God fulfilled His promise in this age within the last one week (7 years) of the closing of this generation. The Apostles$ and prophets have emerged in the midst of the Bride of Christ (The Apostolic Church) with all the full vindication, signs, wonders, the everlasting Gospel. And in this hope we now rejoice as we await the soon catching away of the church of God into the Air and the imminent destruction of the children of disobedience. If you are on the Lord’s side the dice is cast. Be sure you are confirmed and earmarked’ ‘for salvation before it is too late.
54. Before I conclude this important matter, which is the only true Token for all God’s people, I will ask you the following questions:
1. Is the founder and owner and overseer of the Church where you are now a man or a woman or Christ?
2. Is it registered here on Earth in any government agency and has certificate of registration or incorporation with Board of trustees?
3. Is there any evidence of God’s supernatural vindication of His presence in the form of Shekhinah cloud or fire?
4. Were there witnesses both living and dead?
5. Who were the Apostles and Prophets that confirmed that place you are now as a Church?
6. Who were the Apostles and Prophet that confirmed your soul and that of your members giving you the assurance of your salvation?
7. Who was the Apostle that laid hands on you and your members and you were baptized with the Holy Ghost?
8. Are you rest assured that your salvation and that of your members have been guaranteed or are you just resigning your fate to nature?
55. Nobody should play religious politics in these questions. They must be answered positively or negatively by every individual. Your godly sincerity in answering these all important questions, will dictate where you will spend your eternity. Remember that eternity life is purely an individual affair and is not negotiable because there is no second chance.
“And the Lord said to me, “Write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell the others.
But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!”
(Habakkuk 2:2-3 Living Bible Translation).
CIA PREDICTS GLOBAL SYSTEMS CRASH COMPUTERS BY ENYINNA NWAGWU (COMMUNICATIONS EDITOR
CIA PREDICTS GLOBAL SYSTEMS CRASH COMPUTERS
GLOBAL Connections in telecommunications, financial systems, air transportation and the manufacturing sector are on the brink of imminent crash, according to a survey conducted by the U .S. Central intelligence Agency (CIA) on the year. 2000 Technology problem a.k.a Millennium bug.
2. The report listed Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Russia, Latin America and several Asian countries including China, as areas with the lowest level of Y2k preparedness, stating that in Western Europe, the modification of computer systems to accommodate conversion to a new currency, has taken precedence over Y2k problems.
3. Presenting the survey report recently, the U.S. Senate hearing on “International Y2K issues, CIA’S National Intelligence Council Official Lawrence Gershwin, acknowledged some difficulty in making categorical predictions about the fate of the infrastructural facilities but he identified areas most likely to affect U.S interests.
4. The areas according to Gershwin are, foreign nuclear reactors and power grids, Military early warning systems, trade, oil and gas sectors and worldwide shipping and air transport.
5. The CIA report indicated that all countries would be affected to one degree or another by Y2K related failures. Global linkages in telecommunications, financial systems, air transportation, the manufacturing supply chain, oil supplies, and trade will virtually guarantee that Y2K problems will not be isolated to individual countries. No country will be completely immune from failures. Fixing the Y2K problem has proven to be labour and time intensive as well as expensive”.
6. According to the survey, “There remain significant information gaps that make it difficult for us to assess how serious the Y2 K problem will be around the world. In many cases, foreign countries have only recently become aware of the problem and begun to examine their critical infrastructural systems for potential Y2K Failures. The report noted that time and resource constraints would limit the ability of most Countries to respond adequately by the year 2000.
7. It also observed that governments in many countries have begun to plan seriously for Y2K remediation only within the last year, some only in the last few months, and some continue to significantly underestimate the cost and time requirements for remediation and importantly testing.
8. Because many countries are way behind testing of fixes will come late, and unanticipated problems typically arise in this place. Most countries have failed to address aggressively the issue of embedded processors. While recent understanding is that failures here will be less than previously estimated, it is nevertheless the case that failure to address the issue will still cause some highly dependent sectors with complex sensor and processing systems to have problems, centered right on the January 1 date.
9. The report read in part: The World Bank recently noted that the Y2K problem within developing countries has been overlooked because many observers assume developing countries are less dependent on computer in everyday national life. They point out that the majority of developing countries, even the poorest; have computerized essential services such as power generation, telecommunications, food and fuel distribution, and the provision of medical care. The Bank says that a general failure of such systems could endanger the health, security and economic well being of people in the developing World. We agree with this assessment.
10. Middle Eastern Countries and firms have basic awareness of the Y2K problem and have made modest progress in remediation. The business sectors, especially banking, seem best prepared in that region. Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates believe that their banks will be ready. Most government, business, and military remediation efforts are however in general, poorly co-ordinated.
11. In Africa, efforts in South Africa leads the continent in recognition of the Y2K challenge and in activities to address it. As in the Middle East, most other government and Military remediation efforts throughout the continent are, in general poorly co-ordinated.
12. We see problems in Latin America. An October 1998 Gartner Group Study indicated that in many nations of Latin America, at least 50 percent of companies will experience at least one Mission Critical failure. Even if governments and firms in Latin America devote sufficient resources to the problem, they will be hard pressed to complete remediation within the next 10 months to avoid systems failures.
13. Although Western Europe is in relatively better shape than most other regions, European awareness of and concern about the Y2K problem is uneven and the Europeans lag the United State in fixing their problems. European attention was focused on modifying computer systems for the European Monetary Union conversion, which was implemented successfully on 1 January, but this was done, in many cases, by postponing coming to grips with Y2K problems.
14. The Asian economic crisis has hampered the Y2K remediation efforts of most of the Asia-Pacific countries. The appeal to the World Bank and others this week from eighteen Asia-Pacific nations during the Manila Y2K summit, asking for funding for Y2K remediation, was not surprising. There is much to be done. After a slow start in addressing the Y2K problem, China has stepped up efforts over the past two months in an attempt to meet a March 21 deadline imposed by the Ministry of information for detection of Y2K problems.
15. In mid-February ’99, Chinese officials conducted the first test of several Key systems in the financial, telecommunications, and electric power sectors. The Civil aviation sector reportedly is also preparing for a nationwide test. While the lines of authority for China’s Y2K effort have been established, remediation efforts in critical sectors such as electric power, transportation and telecommunications appeared to be lagging.
16. China’s late start in addressing Y2K issues suggests Beijing will solve some, but not many of its Y2K problem are exacerbated by the fact that, by some estimates, aver 900/0 of the software used in China is pirated, including mast of the software used in government offices and state owned enterprises. This could make it very difficult to approach software vendors for technical fixes and coincidentally, limits China’s legal resource should their software suffer Y2K related problems.”
THE END IS HERE
Note, this fearful report you have just read from the previous chapter is culled from the Nigerian Champion Newspaper of 25th March, 1999 page fifteen. From the CIA report, one can now clearly seen the picture of the impeding doom that is coming upon all mankind. It is labelled the MILLENNIUM BOMB by the United Nations. It is also called the Greatest Time Bomb of the Age. Nobody can tell the expiration of any drug and its likely effect to health more than the manufacturers. In the same token, nobody can accurately predict the failure of computer systems and its likely effect to the users more than the inventors.
2. All that the Watchman is saying is that no individual or nation should take this matter light. It is a very serious prophetic phenomenon that is being expected at the end of this generation or else the Bible is false.
3. A lay man can only limit the use of computer to the ones that are being used in the business centres and banks only, No. The use of computer goes beyond that as we could see from the CIA report. All Manufacturing industries now use highly codified and computerized electronic machineries for effective operations. All calculators and time keeping machines including electronic wrist watches and clocks are going to be affected. Laboratory diagnostic computers will be affected.
4. The banking sector as we could see from the World Bank report, will collapse. You can imagine a situation where somebody goes to bank to withdraw money or transfer money, only to be told that the computers are not functioning and as a result, no transaction. Surely a good number of industrialists and business men will suffer a great deal of set back psychologically, emotionally and economically.
5. Apart from the banking sectors, all commercial activities will come to a halt. Mining, drilling and oil extraction industries will be affected because they are solely dependent on computers. Nobody will pump oil or gas or diesel. Motor transportation, Air transportation, shipping transportation, all will collapse. In other words, there will not be cooking gas, petrol, diesel, kerosene etc.
6. In the defence sector, all forms of Military defence will collapse. From the report you can see that a large extent of army software, lethal weapons, early morning war signals, nuclear installations, atomic installation all will be badly affected.
7. Please, nobody should try to argue on this report. Even if the entire human race is not destroyed by the year 2000, even if Christ our Lord does not come to Catch His Bride Church away, with the collapse of all the sectors of life world wide, what do you think will be the fate of all mankind? Educational sector will be badly affected too. In fact life will come to a stand still because nobody will travel outside his station.
8. No wonder why this discussion has attracted the attention of the American Senate, CIA, World Bank and the United Nation. All the countries in the world including Nigeria, which is widely known for her conservatism, are making serious efforts to find out any possible remedy before the 31st December 1999 which is the D-day. Many countries have set up monitoring groups and commissions with a view to advising the governments of those countries on the possible remedy to prevent total destruction of mankind by the year 2000.
9. To what extent will these possible remediation work seeing that the global crashing of the computer systems is a prophetic event that marks the end of the generation?
10. Prophet Daniel who saw the beginning and ending of the Gentile dispensation had ahead prophesied under the inspiration of the Almighty God, that towards the end of the world, knowledge will increase and people will run to and fro. The greatest increase in knowledge and the greatest increase in travelling have been witnessed in this tail end of this generation. The climax is the invention of computer system and Telecommunication System.
11. Nobody should doubt this because these two inventions are the greatest wonders of our age. Why did all the nations in the world tie their existence to the computer systems thereby putting all their eggs in one basket? The answer is clear. Almighty God programmed it to be so.
12. From the Scriptures we read in the beginning of this book, we could see that it has been God’s eternal purpose to gather all the nations on Earth together and destroy them at a time because of wilful disobedience to His sacred Word. Nothing has opposed the Word of God in this generation more than science. Scientific discoveries through human researches have at times challenged the reality of God. A lot of people have been misguided by science to the extent that they no longer believe in the existence of the Supreme God. Many laugh at His Word and strongly oppose His prophets quoting people they call great minds or thinkers.
13. This was why Apostle Paul warned Timothy to be very careful about the opposition of science and to avoid the unnecessary arguments people would present using science and evolution as their defence.
14. “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called.” (1 Timothy 6:20 KJV).
15. “Oh, Timothy, don’t fail to do these things that God entrusted to you. Keep out of foolish arguments with those who boast of their “knowledge” and thus prove their lack of it.” (1 Timothy 6:20 Living Bible).
16. “Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care and the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “knowledge.” (1 Timothy 6:20 Goodnews Bible).
17. The Lord Himself had already said that He will destroy all the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars in the end time.
18. ” For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
19. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. ” (1 Corinthians 1: 19-21 King James Version)
20. ” For God says, “I will destroy all human plans of salvation no matter how wise they seem to be, and ignore the best ideas of men, even the most brilliant of them. So what about these wise men, these scholars, these brilliant debaters of this world’s great affairs? God has made them all look foolish and shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense.
21. For God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never find God through human brilliance, and then he stepped in and saved all those who believed his message, which the world calls foolish and silly.” (1 Corinthians 1:19-21 Living Bible).
22. “The Scripture says, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars.” So then, where does that leave the wise? Or the scholars? Or the skillful debaters of this World? God has shown that this world’s wisdom is foolishness: for God in His wisdom made it impossible for people to know Him by means of their own wisdom.
23. Instead; by means of the so-called foolish message we preach, God decided to save those who believe.” (1 Corinthians 1:19-:-21 Goodnews Bible).
24. “For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify (them) and bring (them) to nothing. Where is the wise man? (the Philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logicians, the debater) of this present time and age?
25. Has not God shown up the non sense and folly of this World’s wisdom? For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy. God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching (Salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him), to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and rely on Him).” (1 Corinthians 1:19-21 Amplified Bible).
26. If these things do not happen, how can the scriptures be fulfilled? God lives to fulfil His Word, Let the entire world be liars and let only God be true and faithful to His Word.
27. “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”(Romans 3:4 King James Version).
28. It is only a tree that hears that it will be cut down and it remains unmoved. By nature, no man or animal no matter its size, wants to die. When a human being hears he will be killed, surely he must try to do something to try justify his existence even if he will be killed in the end after all his efforts. This is what great minds and thinkers are doing now. These great minds, thinkers and scientists are the people that have put the world into trouble by hardening their hearts against the knowledge of Godthrough their modern scientific inventions.
29. Who will not challenge the reality of God if human beings can invent a cargo ship, cargo plane, jet, computers, telecommunication, television, nuclear energy, solar energy etc? These are few of what Satan the devil has used through science to make people to disbelieve God.
30. All these efforts human beings are putting in place to arrest the impending doom will surely fail them because God has already passed sentence against this generation and is poised to destroy it due to widespread wickedness and rebellion. I liken human efforts today to that which people made in the age of Noah by constructing water channels while some built upstairs where they thought the water could not get to and all of them failed.
31. Almighty God, the Author of all knowledge and wisdom, carefully and meticulously tied the lives of the whole world together with their economies to the use of computer system in this tail end of the generation so that He will destroy all their knowledge ofscience and technology at thesame time. By so doing, He will cut off their source of pride and boast before their final humiliation.
32. Science has always stood, against God’s revealed Word. Vengeance belongs to God and I will avenge says the Lord God Almighty.
33. “For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.” (Hebrews 10:30 King James Version.)
34. This is the year of God’s vengeance and also the year of His Redeemed.
35. ” The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.” (Isaiah 61:1-2 KingJames Version).
36. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the suffering and afflicted. He has sent me to comfort the broken-hearted, to announce liberty to captives, and to open the eyes of the blind. 2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of God’s favor to them has come, and the day of his wrath to their enemies.” (Isaiah 61 :1-2 Living Bible).
37. Somebody must be anointed in these last days to proclaim the day of vengeance of the Lord. Nobody is capable of doing this except the appointed Watchman for the dispensation.
38. God cannot do anything without revealing it to him because he is the only chosen vessel for that purpose. All that believe him will now go about and spread the tidings.
39. “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:2 King James Version).
40. “Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the Lord will shine from you. (Isaiah 60: 2 Living Bible).
41. What is the Watchman Saying? I am saying that all human predictions will fail. All human efforts will fail. All human knowledge and counsels will fail. God is only confirming and bringing to pass, the prophetic words and predictions of His Appointed Servant, the Watchman of the generation. He alone knows the remediation. He alone can hear from the Father and speaks to God’s people and the entire world whether they will hear or not.
42. ‘Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things ; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
43. That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: ” (Isaiah 44:24-26 King James Version).
44. ” The Lord, your Redeemer who made you, says: All things were made by me; I alone stretched out the heavens. By myself I made the earth and everything in it.
45.
46. I am the one who shows what liars all false prophets are, by causing something else to happen than the things they say. I make wise men give opposite advice to what they should and make them into fools. 26 But what my prophets say, I do; when they say Jerusalem will be delivered and the cities of Judah lived in once again—it shall be done! ” (Isaiah 44:24-26 Living Bible).
47. “I am the Lord, your Saviour, I am the One who created you. I am the Lord the Creator of all things I alone stretched out the heavens, when I made the earth, no one helped me. I make fools of fortune tellers and frustrate the predictions of astrologers.
48. The words of the wise I refute and show that their wisdom is foolishness. But when my servant makes a prediction, when I send a Messenger to reveal my plans, I make those plans and predictions come true. I tell Jerusalem that people will live there again, and the cities of Judah that they will be rebuilt. Those cities will rise from the ruins” (Isaiah 44:24-26 Goodnews Bible).
49. Anybody claiming to have a solution to this impending global problem is making a false claim.
50. “Human wisdom, brilliance, insight they are of no help if the Lord is against you,” (Proverbs 21:30 Goodnews Bible).
51. “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord (Proverbs 21:30 King James Version).
52. There is no remedy but look for an escape route for your safety because it is the dreadful and fearful day of the Lord which the Holy Prophets prophesied and the Holy Scriptures revealed same. Although they have delayed for too long until people started to doubt their realities and possible fulfilments and have even mocked preachers, but now, all mankind will believe at a time when it will be too late to get saved.
53. “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of His coming. For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation”. (2 Peter 3:3-4 King James Version)
54. “Heaven and earth shall pass away but the Word of God cannot pass away without being fulfilled.
55. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Word shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35 King James Version).
56. Whether mankind will believe it or not, the year 1999, is the beginning of the end of this generation. It is a must because the SEVENTH DAY belongs to God. It is God’s Sabbath rest which He promised perpetually. It is a period of rest for one thousand years. The survivors will not know any war or rebellion within that period of one thousand years. It shall be a period of peace on earth. SELAH.
THE YEAR 1999 THE BEGINNING OF THE END INDEED!
By
Maku Olabode Thomas
God reveals Himself to an individual and quickly he becomes Deity in the inside of him.
(COME HITHER QUICKLY, Feb. 2; 1958 by Prophet Branham).
THE YEAR 1999 THE BEGINNING OF THE END INDEED!
I am writing a rejoinder to an interestingly terrifying article written by Mr. Dele Jeminusi as appeared in the Sunday Tribune of 14th February, 1999, captioned “Is 1999 the beginning of the end?”
2. Various happenings around the world which are in conformity with the Bible and ancient prophecies seem to highten our fear that we are close to the end.
3. In the words of Charles Berlitz, modern science and ancient prophecy now agree! The count down to doom has begun and all indications point to 1999 A.D. as a year of doom.
4. In Matthew 24:3, the disciples asked Jesus Christ Saying, “Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the signs of thy coming and of the end of the World?”
5. Jesus Christ and ancient prophets spoke clearly that the end time shall be characterized by inflation, famine, social and political unrest, inventions, apostasy and mass departure from the truth, false prophets, spread of disease, earthquakes of fearful dimension, depressed economy, distress of Nations and war, to mention a few.
6. Apostle Paul also wrote in 2 Timothy 3: 1-4… ” This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
7. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God”… (Matthew 24:33).
8. Events around us confirm the words of Jesus Christ and the Prophets. The nation and the world inflationarytrend is hyper galloping. Prices of goods have sky rocketed far beyond the reach of the common man. While unusual famine has invaded many nations around us with many people dying of malnutrition and sicknesses. The invention of modern computers and destructive weapons of war by many nations apart from the super powers like the development of atomic bomb in Iraq, South Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia, India, Israel and possibly Libya, etc poses serious threat to world peace. The spread of diseases like AIDS and other terrible afflictions all over the globe which up till now are defying medication and growing at geometric progression.
9. Ancientprophecies are confirmed by events in the daily press like the Newspaper and Television reports about the unusual changes in the Ozone layers of the earth, the extinction/sudden disappearance of some major sea animals, and the emergence of new lands on areas formerly covered by sea, seem to give a danger signalthat the end is come.
10. Nostradamus, the best known of the 16th Century prophet recognized world wide for the uncanning accuracy of his predictions wrote: “The year one thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine (1999) the seventh months, a great frightening King will come from the sky”…
11. This prediction suggests war of a thermonuclear nature in 1999. Nostradamus is respected for his ability to for~ see events that would happen even up to 400 years later. Having~ accurately predicted the 1st and second world wars, French revolution, the fall of Napoleon, the use of atomic and nuclear bomb, the death of American President Rosevelt, the Specific mentioning of Adolf Hilter’s name in German Revolution to mention a few, observers are curiously watching 1999 A.D. as a year of doom and are so convinced about his prediction that many people are already betting in Europe that his predictions will come to reality.
12. Another extract from doom day 1999 A.D. by Charles Berlitz confirmed a prophecy by the king of the world, the mystical ruler of the Arghati who prophesied over 100 years ago seem to point to this millennium Ondin – T-2000 A.D.
13. “Men will increasingly neglect their soul….the greatest corruption will reign on earth. Men will become blood thirsty like animals. The crescent will become obscured and obscured and its followers will descend into lies and perpetual warfare. The crown of Kings will fall. Then there will be a terrible war between all the earth people entire nations will die, hunger, crime etc., unknown to law formerly unthinkable! to the world. The persecuted will demand the attention of the World… The greatest and most beautiful cities will perish by fire…. families will be dispersed….faith and love will disappear….The World will be empty. Within 50 years there will be only 3 great nations. Then within 50 years there will be 18 years of war and cataclysms.
14. This prophecy does not demand further explanation as it is very relevant to our time. Again, mystics, scientists, Christians believe that something extraordinary will happen in 2000 A. D. as it has been observed from the Bible that strange things usually happen every 2000 . As our present millennium ends in less than 320 days, it is feared the Bible might repeat itself. God destroyed humanity when our present civilization was 2000 years. When humanity was 4000 years old, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World was born. To confirm His superiority over mankind, He changed world calendar from B.C.E. (Before the Common Era) to BC – Before Christ or A.D. After the death of Christ.
15. As the World will be another 2000 years older this makes it 6000 year old in less 320 days. It is traditionally believed that strange things of a destructive nature like the third World war or the 2 coming of Jesus Christ can not be ruled out.
16. Further danger signal was spotted in Los Angeles in United States of America when a band of 50 angels were ascending and descending over the city in early 1990s. Two brothers wanted to take the Photograph of U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Objects) whose manoeuvres were clearly observed in that region. The lens of their Camera Photographed angels in white apparel. It was frightening and tends to send a danger signal that the year ending 1999 AD shall be unique! The photograph of the Angels was proved to be authentic by scientists and published by many newspapers across the world.
17. The spotting of angels and UFO’s significant to this generation when Jesus spoke and there shall be sings in Heaven. A warning for sleeping Christians and unbelievers to repent and believe the Gospel!
18. The presence of UFO in space is believed to be an end time sign with a message to the world.
19. The unhealthy political situation all over the world especially the current tension in the Middle East seems to be in line with Nostradamus predictions and may force the Third World war to start. Nostradamus wrote: “The great rock shall contend against each other for a long time. Rain, hunger and unceasing war in the Persian Gulf….
20. Cayce, another ancient prophet wrote “Strife will arise through the period…Persian Gulf…. The spill over of the mother of all battles between Iraq and the multinational forces led by U.S.A continued till now. Should Saddam Hussein refuse to fully comply with all UN resolution, a further military strike by U.S.A is imminent and this may worsen the tension in the Gulf Region where major weapons of destruction yet unknown to history would be displayed.
21. The tension in the Middle East will be further worsened if the OSLO peace accorded of 1992 between Israel and Palestine is not honoured by either party, whereas the accord stipulates that both parties must resolve their differences, including the State of Jerusalem by latest, May 1999 following which a defaulter will invoke UN Sanction, the Palestinians have vowed that they will go ahead to declare a Palestinian state,…Israel will attack the declaration of a Palestinian state with heavy bombardment of Palestinian bases and possible annexation of the occupied territory. Israel’s action would be condemned world wide, while Arabs will call for the imposition of UN Sanctions against Israel.
22. Surprisingly, America and UK will block any sanction against Israel and this will force Russia who is sympathetic with Arab Nations to carry out military offensive against Israel in exercise of her veto power as a super power and hiding under UN mandate like America did to Iraq. Russia’s action would be viewed by America and United Kingdom as an assault on Israel and they will respond with military offensive in defence of Israel…S7 super powers with their dangerous weapons of destruction will be brought into military confrontation.
23. It is note worthy to mention that, Israel is well favoured by God. The happening in Israel is very significant to the world as God has in his majesty preferentially chosen events in Israel as a world mirror for end time believer. The Israelites will not respect the peace accord with Palestine. They don’t fear any nation when it comes to war. An average Israeli soldier goes to battle with the consciousness of God and they never believe they could lose a war. They have the Biblical backing of the Almighty God. God is so much in love with them that the scriptures’ say the nation that curses them shall be cursed and he that blesses them shall remain blessed . Finally, in the words of Albert Einstein, man now has the power of destruction from which it has no means to protect himself.” Culled from Sunday Tribune, 28 February, 1999, Page Twenty Five.
24. This excerpt was inspired by the Spirit of God. No human being that believes the Holy scriptures will argue or dismiss this inspiredexposition The watchman is very happy to note that Ancient writers even were inspired to predict the end of this generation even about 400 years ago.
25. Russia, America, Japan, Iraq, Iran etc are expressing great fears over the possible sudden explosion of their heavily timed and computerized Atomic and Nuclear bombs with their disastrous effects on mankind world-wide. Can some of these dangerous bombs explode without somebody detoning them? The answer is “YES”.
26. Any time the time that is affixed to a time bomb expires, it must surely explode. This is why there is Bomb Detonating Unit in both the Army and police forces in all the countries of the world .to handle such deadly cases.
27. In effect, mankind has manufactured with their hands, the things that will lastly destroy them without mercy. If third world war comes at the end of this generation, how many nations will survive it taking into consideration the level oflong range missiles manycountries have stored with the help of modified computer systems? But the third world war will not come out. Will there be war at all? Surely yes. All the nations in the world MUST condemn the last actionIsrael will take against Palestine and will join themselves together under the U.N. Treaty or Accord and attack Israel including America and Britain. This is the long awaited Armageddon war where God Himself will display His Supernatural Authority and power over all the nations of the world. This is not the matter at stake for now please.
28. Since it has been widely speculated that this generation is ending on disastrous note, what efforts are you making with yourfamily, relations, friends and well-wishers, to escape the troublethat is coming on mankindany time from now?
29. “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. ” (2 Corinthians 5:11 King James Version).
30. ” It is because of this solemn fear of the Lord, which is ever present in our minds, that we work so hard to win others. God knows our hearts, that they are pure in this matter, and I hope that, deep within, you really know it too.” (2 Corinthians 5: 11 Living Bible).
31. “We know what it means to fear the Lord, And so we try to persuade others, God knows us completely, and I hope that in your hearts you know me as well”. (2 Corinthians 5: 11 Goodnews Bible).
FINAL APPEAL
The Watchman is aware of the emergence of false prophets, teachers, apostles and even pastors and evangelists, all in the Name of Christ our Lord in this closing hours of human history. They have appeared as wolves in sheep’s clothing that the Scriptures might fulfil. The whole thing is fully dressed up in religion and can only be discovered with the help of the Holy Scriptures. At same time, true and faithful ones have appeared to guide the children of God to the place of safety.
2. They are in the ministry and do not make noise on the streets or arrogate to themselves blasphemous titles like Reverend Doctor, Archbishop, great man of God, etc. Their simplicity has made them easily accessible to all that wish to be saved at all times, whether rich or poor without demanding any payment or official protocol. They are servants to all and not lords over God’s own heritage. By this description, it is very easy to identify them. Do not look for them among the clergy because they are not found there. They are despised, ridiculed, blasphemed and even labelled heretics or false teachers by the clergy of today, yet in them is the shewbread that we need.
3. The Watchman therefore appeals to all mankind to come out at once from all religious denominations no matter the name they are called. They are all individual or family projects established for selfish gains. They do not know the way to the Ark of Safety God has prepared for our generation.
4. They do not also know God. This is hard to believe but it is truth. There should be no sympathy in this matter. Even if your parents, or friends are the owners of the so-called Church or Ministry, please, do not consider it. Do not consider how long you have stayed there and what people will say if you leave them. Do not consider the loss you will suffer.
5. St. Paul and all Christian suffered the loss of all things for the sake of eternal life. If you go ahead to consider these things, surely you will be destroyed with the world. Not all that carry the Holy Bible and go to Church, have eternal life as their goal. This reflects also in their daily lifestyle and ambitions to become one thing or the other here on Earth. Anybody following such people surely will meet destruction on the way.
6. Thus, dissociate yourselves from such people and come to the knowledge of God that you may escape His fury and wrath in this end time.
IS THE END OF THE GENERATION A SECRET?
7. The day Noah entered into the Ark was a secret to the entire world but to Noah and his family, it was not a secret. The day Lot and his daughters escaped from Sodom and Gomorrah was a secret to all around them but to Lot it was not a secret. The day Jericho was destroyed was secret to all in Jericho except the harlot, called Rahab. The day the Israelites left Egypt was a secret to all but not Moses and his people.
8. The Lord will do nothing without revealing it to His servants the prophets. He is the Lord, He does not change. What He did before, He will repeat again in our day. But how many will recognize, identify and pay heed to the Voice of the Watchman in our day? How many can believe that God still speaks to an individual face-to-face in our day? We should be grateful to God Who has not left us without a prophet in our day whom we can look at, inquire from at all times.
NOTE:
9. The Watchman has been sounding His Trumpet to the whole world for more than seven years now and only the Elect can hear and believe His message. The rest must continue to argue until the day of doom. He has remained hidden from many and is only revealed among those that were chosen for the purpose by God from the foundation of the world. He does not make noise on the streets. He is not identified with the clergy of our day. His simplicity has made it impossible for people to recognize him. In him is the fullness of the Godhead bodily in our day. He is always covered by the Shekhinah Cloud.
10. Should you desire to see Him in person, feel free and come to the Household of God, Onitsha, Government Technical College compound, after Inland Police Headquarters, Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria or call Him using these GSM phone numbers: 08036768023, 08037389766, 08063771152. He is available to all on Wednesday by 4.00 pm and on Sunday by 8.00 a.m.
11. A prophet is without honour in his own country. The Queen of Sheba will testify against this generation. The land of Nineveh will testify against this generation. May God help His Elect worldwide!
If the present global events do not make any man to desperately and sincerely seek a way of escape, let it be known to you that the person’s heart has been seared with hot iron according to the Holy Scriptures.
—THE WATCHMAN
ETERNITY WILL SOON UNFOLD!
12. NOTE: The global failure of the computer systems should not be ignored or treated as the greatest joke of the year as many people may think. It should be seen and addressed as a very serious problem in the light of the Holy Scriptures. Every other nation is shaking and trying to find a possible remedy to avoid extermination of all mankind. Israel is the only nation that feels very much relaxed and the reason is not farfetched. Israel is relaxed as God’s own nation and trusts very much in the power of the Almighty God to save her and her inhabitants in the time of trouble in keeping with the everlasting Covenant He made with their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
13. In this manner, the Church which is God’s own household, should feel relaxed in the times of storm and calamity because she is not appointed to receive God’s wrath but to obtain Salvation through Christ our Lord Who gave His life as a ransom for many and not all.
THE END TIME
I look and see Earth’s sorrowing picture,
the hoarding mobs for selfish gain; their toil of hand for ease and comfort,
can they not see their doom is sealed,
it is all in vain.
CHORUS:
The end is here, it is now at hand,
The Bride is gathering, the world is failing,
Israel awakening, nations are breaking
our prophet taught us, we believe the end is here.
Sirs, this is the time! Our prophet spoke of,
the Angel came with a shout,
The mountain shook as His Voice cried out,
“Time is no more” loud and clear
the shout went forth.
SURELY, THE END TIME IS HERE!
