IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD? Part Three

I have been writing on the subject “God, the Holy Ghost”, showing that there is no such thing as a third part of the Godhead. I made the statement that the Spirit of Truth is Gabriel, who is one of the Lord’s Holy Angels.

Well, sometimes no matter how clearly your statement is made, some people refuse to see the truth even when it is made clear by letting God’s Word interpret God’s Word. For the scriptures are of no private interpretation, 2Peter 1:20-21, but prophecy came in old times by the Holy Ghost. We will be looking at the Holy Ghost that came to men. Turn to 1John 5:7, here we read “that three bear record in heaven, and these three are one”. Which simply means they all agree; not one person with three different personalities. More on this later, because I want to show you what every little thing means.

Now, let’s get back to the three that bear record in heaven. The Father gave record of His Son; 1John 5:10. We will now look at the Holy Ghost, which bears the record that the Father gave His Son. Turn to Revelation 1:1, here we see the same three that bear record in Heaven. Only in these verses the Holy Ghost is called an Angel, who was sent to John, who bears record in the Earth. Now, you would think that this would clear up the matter on who the Holy Ghost is that bears record with the Father and the Son, in heaven.

Let us continue: Turn to John 15:26, we read where Jesus sent the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who will testify of Him. We know that the Angel is called the Comforter and the Spirit of Truth, because, in Revelation 22:16 Jesus tells us that He sent His Angel (Comforter) to testify of Him in the churches. Turn to Revelation 19:9-10, here we read that the Holy Angel is telling John not to bow down and worship Him for He is also a servant.

It is just amazing how all you see is an Angel that is doing the work that the majority of people say is “God, the Holy Ghost” Let’s turn to John 16:13-15, where Jesus tells us that the “Spirit of Truth that is to come, He will not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He hears, that will He speak”. He shall receive it from Jesus who received it from the Father. Sound familiar? It should, Revelation 1:1.

Well, let us take a look at some of the people He was sent to: In Acts 8:26-31, we read that an Angel tells Philip to go toward the south unto a way that is down from Jerusalem, where he saw an Ethiopian. Notice how at first he is called an Angel, and later a Spirit? Let’s continue; turn to Exodus 23:20-24, here we read how the Lord is telling Israel that He is sending an Angel before them, and to obey His voice because His (the Lord’s) name is in Him, and He (the Angel) will not pardon their transgressions. Notice how this Angel of the Lord is instructing the people? What I would like to know is when is God the Holy Ghost, (you know, the one that is the third part of the Godhead) going to do something?

Notice how this Angel of the Lord is instructing the people? What I would like to know is when is God the Holy Ghost, (you know, the one that is the third part of the Godhead) going to do something?

Let’s continue on; turn to Isaiah 63:7-15. Here we read how the Angel of His Presence saved them: “But they rebelled and vexed His Holy Spirit (Angel), therefore, He became their enemy. But the Lord remembered His people. "

Did you notice that the scripture said the Angel of His Presence, saved them? So let’s see who this Angel is because He stands in the Presence of God. Turn to Luke 1:1-20. Here we read about the Angel that was sent to Zacharias to inform him that he and his wife, Elisabeth, were going to have a child; and that he shall name him John. The Angel told him that His name was Gabriel, who stands in the Presence of God. Now we know the name of the Holy Spirit that will lead and guide us and inform us. Skip down to Luke 1:26-33. Here we read where the Angel, Gabriel, was sent from God to Mary to inform her that she was going to have a son and shall call his name Jesus.

I still have to ask you as we continue, when is God the Holy Ghost going to do something? Turn to Revelation 1:1, 10, 12-15. Here we read where Jesus sent His Angel to John; when John turned to see who was talking to him he gave a description of what he saw and how they looked. He said that he saw, “One like unto the Son of Man”. He did not say he saw the Son of Man, but one like unto the Son of Man.

We know that this is an Angel because Revelation 1:1 says Jesus sent His Angel to talk to John. Turn to Daniel 8:1; where we read that Daniel saw a vision. Now as he sought the meaning of the vision, Gabriel was told to make this man (Daniel) to understand the vision, in Daniel 8:15-16. We are not concerned about the vision Daniel had but how he came to understand the vision. If you noticed, it was the Angel, Gabriel, who was sent to Daniel.

Now, turn to Daniel 9:1-3. Here we see Daniel reading the book of Jeremiah—YES, Daniel read the Books of the Prophets—as he sought to understand what he was reading by prayer and supplications. Skip down to Daniel 9:20-22, while Daniel was speaking, Gabriel came and said to Daniel, “I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding”. Now turn to Daniel 10:5-7, here Daniel gives a description of the Angel Gabriel, which if you will turn to Revelation 1:12, 14-15, John sees the same thing.

Now skip down to Daniel 10:21, where we see Gabriel telling Daniel that He will show him what is noted in the scriptures of truth. Gabriel also tells Daniel that the only other Angel that knows these things is Michael.

We have read how every time an Angel is sent to give the understanding of visions. Hopefully, now, you understand that the Holy Ghost is an Angel. As a matter of fact, every time a name is given to this Angel, it is Gabriel. The Holy Angel, Gabriel, is the Comforter/Spirit of Truth.

In all this I cannot find, God the Holy Ghost. If there is a God the Holy Ghost, then tell me, please, what is His name?

The Father’s name is Jesus; the Son’s name before He became flesh and came in the Father’s name was Jehovah. The Angel, (Holy Spirit) that stands in the Presence of God, and bears record in Heaven is Gabriel.

When the Son and the Holy Spirit come in these latter times, they come in the name of Jesus. “For there is no other name given whereby men may be saved, but Jesus”, Acts 4:12.
So, as you read the Holy Scriptures, open your eyes and you will see that you don’t see No God the Holy Ghost.

IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD? Part Two

I was reading a post the other morning about the Holy Ghost. It all stemmed from someone listening to our Sabbath Day Live Lesson about the GODHEAD. They were upset that the Holy Ghost/Spirit is not a part of the Godhead, Romans 1:20. The Godhead consists of two Jesus and Jehovah, the Father and the Son.

What is amazing is that people say there are three in the Godhead; the Holy Ghost being the third one. Well, let’s see if we can find him, because one person wrote that there are a trillion, and one, scriptures that name the three members of the Godhead. Well, I won’t ask for a trillion scriptures, I won’t even ask for two; but one will do, just one.

So let’s see if we can find this third member, the Holy Spirit that some call God the Holy Ghost. What is his name? Turn to Proverbs 30:1-4. The question was asked “What is the name of God and of His Son?” Notice he asked about two, not three, food for thought!

Now, turn to Isaiah 57:15, here you see the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, say, I dwell in the High and Holy place with Him, not them. Let’s take a look at this high and holy place where They dwell. Turn to Psalms 110:1 and Colossians 3:1. I do not know about you, but I only see two sitting on thrones.

However, we will continue; the third one must be somewhere if He is part of the Godhead. Let us go to the last book of the last books. Turn to the last chapter in the scriptures, Revelation 22:3; I still only see two. But, just to be sure let’s back up to Revelation 21:22. I still only read of two.

Well let’s go to the beginning, turn to John 1:1-2. After reading this I still don’t see more than two Gods. How about you, how many do you see?

Now, we will look for the Holy Ghost, which I will tell you from the onset that He is an Angel, not one of the Godhead, but merely a servant. And while we are on our way to finding out about the Holy Ghost, we will learn that the word SPIRIT applies to more than one thing. Now, we will be talking about Angels, which some people say are not Spirits but flesh. Let’s just see what the Lord says they are. Turn to Psalms 104:1-4; Hebrews 1:7; here we read that the Lord says, “His Angels are Spirits and His Ministers a flame of fire. They are also ministers/servants to them who shall be the heirs of salvation. Now, I know some people think that Angels are flesh, but they should keep in mind that the Angels stand before God in heaven and think about what the scriptures say. Jesus said that flesh and blood can not enter the Kingdom of God, which is in heaven, where He is sitting next to the Father on their thrones; 1 Corinthians 15:50.

Turn to Matthew 25:31; where we read that Jesus is coming out from heaven with His Holy Angels. So now, we know that the Angels in heaven are called Holy. We also read that the Angels are Spirit beings, and they are called Holy Angels or Holy Spirits. See how simple this becomes when you search the scriptures?

Turn to Exodus 3:1-6; here we see the Angel of the Lord appeared unto Moses in a flame of fire out of the burning bush. Did we not read that He makes His Angels Spirits a flame of fire. Also notice that when the Angel spoke unto Moses, He spoke to him in the first person. He spoke to him as though He was God. You can also read the same thing in Acts 7:30-33. Now here we see an angel talking to Moses as if He was God.

Turn to Judges 2:1-5. Here we read that the Angel of the Lord appeared unto the children of Israel, He spoke to them also in the first person, speaking as if He were God. Note that the only one being sent so far to talk to us is an Angel—Holy Spirit—or as in other cases He is called the Holy Ghost.

As I sit here, going through the scriptures, reading about the Holy Ghost, I have become somewhat perplexed about people calling an Angel, "God the Holy Ghost" and saying that they have scriptures to prove it. They really do not understand about the Holy Spirit. Here is an example, turn to Matthew 12:31-37.

Here we read of Jesus talking about the Holy Ghost saying, if you blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, “you won’t be forgiven in this world or the next”, well, most people say this is God the Holy Ghost, however, it is not. If you keep reading you will see it is the Words that men speak that they will have to give account for in the Day of Judgment. For they speak against His Holy Word; His Word is Spirit and they are Life, John 6:53-68. This is the Holy Ghost that Jesus is referring to. His Words that He speaks----If you say anything contrary to what Jesus says you are a blasphemer.

Such as: His “Word is God the Holy Ghost”, or saying that the “Holy Ghost is part of the Godhead”.

Well, I am going to publish this Post now, because I have taken too long in writing this. But, I will give more detail on that Holy Spirit, which some (many) say is God, and before I close, I want to ask, “Where is God the Holy Ghost, when the Lord proclaims “the name of the LORD”, in Exodus 34:5-6?

Peace,

IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD?

Dear Readers,

I am posting this e-mail that I wrote to an individual that assailed my sister. My Sister has been sending e-mails to her cyber-friends inviting them to join us on the Sabbath day:

Hello My Friends,

I have decided to create this document as a reminder to you all to come join me, and the congregation of

The Israel of God

On the Sabbath Day,

Live at10:00 AM and 1:30 PM CST.

On Saturday, December 6, 2008

If by any chance you find this offensive, please, please inform me and I will immediately stop. I am not pushing anything on anyone I just merely wish to share the truth with my brothers and sisters.

I am certain that after you have taken the time to listen to the truth you will know it when you hear it, and quite a few of the mysteries of life will be revealed.

P.S. PLEASE REMEMBER: we are not of the Black Hebrew Israelites Religion; we are Bible believing Christians who merely happen to be Israelites. http://theisraelofgod.com/

The Love of Christ

To You All,

King's Kid

This was the response of one "friend":

Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 09:07:09 -0500
Shirley,Explain to me specifically what "truth" you want me and the others on your mailing list to receive?

Apparently there is a "truth" that you don't believe we already have, as you are sending out these emails offering us truth.

Let me explain to you the truth that I have.

I have the truth that Jesus Christ IS Lord. With all due respect, I find these emails inappropriate.

My Sister's response:

On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 4:34 PM,
I am sorry if I have offended you. Consider it a done deal. Please, forgive me.

Sincerely,

To which she replied:

Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 17:27:40 -0500

I hope you understand that your minister is preaching a false gospel wherein he pretends that the Holy Ghost is an angel and says the Godhead consists of only the Father and Son...and says that the Father is Jesus....

Be veeeeery careful spreading that false word to people as God will hold you responsible.

I've warned you. If you continue, God will deal with you and it's a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.I don't know how you got involved in that cult but you need to come up out of there. I'm through with it.

I gave you the real "truth" and you do with it as you see fit. I hope you make the right decision.

My Sister responded:

On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 7:12 PM,
Dear ****,

I intentionally did not answer you question as to -Explain to me specifically what "truth" you ...-because I knew that you really did not want to know. However since you pursued the matter I will answer. The reason that I know that what I believe and what Pastor Buie teaches is true is because it is written. I can always go directly to the word of a God and read, without a doubt, that what modern day christendom espouses is deception and blindness to a lost and dying world.

You say, "your minister is preaching a false gospel" however, if you have really heard him preach/teach or even read his text lessons, you can surely see that he is coming straight from the Bible. You say that, "he pretends....." and that "he says the Godhead...", you should take a second objective look because he is diligent to give scripture references, without fail. I'll tell you what, please e-mail me the scripture references that prove without a doubt that what he says that the Bible-- the Word of God, is saying in plain english--is not true.

Be veeeeery careful spreading that false word to people as God will hold you responsible. This is the exact same warning that I send right back to you, Lynn. However, I would change the word to "extreeeemly"

I know that you "do not how you (I) got involved...", but I do know how you got caught in that cult that you are in, but you need to come up out of there.Let us check before I become an accuser: you believe the Holy Spirit is a third member of the "trinity", find it in the Word of God. You worship your god on Sunday the day of the sun worshippers, instead of the day that Jesus told man to keep Holy. Your jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday, when the Jesus of the Bible gave as a sign that the true Messiah would be in the heart of the earth for three (3) days and three (3) nights. You are an educated woman, ****, please decipher that for me, seeing whereas you view me as a blind and mindless follower of a cult leader. You and your deceased loved ones are going or are in heaven, correct? You have your salvation right now? You can eat anything "as long as you pray over it" even though in Leviticus 11 the Lord tells us what we can and cannot eat. Do you even keep your Sunday 'Sabbath' holy? Do you read your Bible or do you just go by what man has to say about the Bible?

**** in Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.---- the Lord say deceived the WHOLE world.

I gave you the real "truth" and you do with it as you see fit. I hope you make the right decision.

Peace.

Sincerely,

Her final response was:

Please cease contacting me.

Thanks,

To make a long story short this "friend" wrote a post about my Sister in which she vilified her as the DEVIL. You might be asking yourself "Why"?

She rejects the fact that the Holy Spirit IS NOT GOD! So I wrote a response and asked King's Kid to e-mail it to her:

Dear **** *****:

You seem to have all the answers in regard to the Holy Ghost being a member of the Godhead. However, neither you nor your supporters gave scriptures to support the Holy Ghost/Spirit being God.

Well, put on the gloves and let’s go to war. For some reason, you became very upset about the subject of the Godhead. Is it because you find it hard to believe that you have been taught is a lie, and that it challenges the things that you believe are correct?

Read Romans 1:17-22 17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, “The just shall live by faith”.18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

I have a post on the Godhead I would like you to read them and come out swinging, as you say.

But in the mean time, let me show you that the Holy Spirit is not part of the Godhead. Turn to I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

1John5:10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

Here you see the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. The Father is God, the Word is Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost is…..?

Well, let us turn to:Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Here we read the three that bare record in Heaven as stated in 1 John 5:7 The revelation (record) of Jesus Christ (Son) which God (the Father) gave unto Him. And Jesus, the Son gave it to His Angel (Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost) to show to His servant (John) who bare record in the Earth.

So the three in Heaven that bare record are the Father, the Son and the Holy Angel (Ghost/Spirit), see how simple it is to understand God’s Word, if not read 1 John 5:10 very carefully.

Tyrone

BTW, ****, we do have the oracles of God—I can prove that. In other words, if you have any question about the scriptures just ask, and we will tell you where you can read it for yourself. Now, I ask you to show me God the Holy Ghost.

If you are interested I will tell you his name (the Holy Spirit), however you can read it @ here http://kingskid3.blogspot.com/2007/12/godhead.html and here http://kingskid3.blogspot.com/2007/12/godhead-continues.html .

I will be posting on the HOLY SPIRIT very soon! You can reject truth all you want, however, I ask that you prove that the Holy Spirit is God, scripturally of course.

Peace,
Brother Tyrone

Dear John,

You have been teaching the “Rapture”, and that the Lord will come and remove His church before the Great Tribulation. Why do the scriptures say otherwise?

In Revelation 6:1-8, when John saw the four horsemen bringing oppression, famine, war, and death, however, the church is still here, and has not been “raptured”.

If you have any understanding, you know that the opening of the seven seals is the beginning of the great tribulation. Let’s take a look at the other three seals. We see the saints that are asleep asking, how long before they are avenged, in Revelation 6: 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Where is the church when the sixth seal is opened? It is the sign of the beginning of the end of great tribulation, Revelation 6: 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. --These signs happen just before Jesus' return--15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:--The wrath of the Lamb? Not Sweet little Jesus boy? No, the Lion of the tribe of Judah!--17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. You‘re not gone yet.

We see the Heaven rolled back as a scroll, Isaiah spoke of this same time, Isaiah 13: 6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. 9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible, Joel also spoke of this same time, Joel 2: 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:, 3:1 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.; 3: 15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Also you must have noticed by now there is no mention of any trumpet sounding so where is the church—the one waiting on the “rapture” when the last trumpet is blown.

Let’s take a look at Matthew 24: 1-22, Jesus’ disciples asked Him what would be the sign of His coming, He answered them many things. “Let no man deceive you, was the first thing that He said. But, take a look at verses “15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” If the Lord has raptured all the righteous (alive and dead), why would He worry about no flesh being saved--they are all sinful unrepentent individuals anyway?

Jesus tells us when great tribulation begins and when the Lord’s servants are to flee into the secret place—when the man of sin stands in the Holy place—2 Thessalonians 2: 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.—Daniel 11: 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate., when the man of sin is revealed. As you see no one has left the earth.

Let’s look at the seventh seal, Revelation 8:1-2, 6, we can see there, seven angels are given seven trumpets and they prepare to sound, at this same time there are seven angels given seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever, Revelation 15:1, 5-7.

As we keep reading, have you noticed that no one has been raptured; that Jesus has not come yet? Now, let us reason together and continue reading the scriptures. For Isaiah 28 : 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little—tells us how we are taught knowledge—here a little, there a little, so let’s do what the Lord says.

Back to the Angel’s sounding of the first trumpet, Revelation 8: 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up; now turn to Revelation 16: 1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.”, we see that the Angels with the seven vials pour them out as the trumpets are sounded. The second trumpet is sounded Revelation8: 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Revelation 16 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
The third Angel sounds his trumpet in Revelation 8: 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter;

In Revelation 16: 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments;

The fourth Angel sounds his trumpet and the fourth Angel pours out his vial in Revelation 8: 12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Revelation

16: 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Revelation 8: 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! As you can see still no “rapture” has occurred, and “you ain’t gone yet”.

Revelation 9:1-12, tells us of war on the Earth when the fifth Angel sounds his trumpet, the Angel with the fifth vial pours out his vial on the seat of the beast and his kingdom, Revelation 16: 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

Now, turn to Revelation 9:13-21 as we have read, a great army is coming out of the east, Revelation 16: 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Turn to Revelation 11: 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. The seventh Angel sounded his trumpet and the Angel poured out his vial into the air; the kingdom of man is now going to be ruled by Jesus Christ for a thousand years.

In Revelation 16: 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. Still no one has left nor been “raptured” off the Earth.

These trumpets announce the coming of the King; other scriptures tell of other events that are also happening at the seventh and last trumpet—1 Corinthians 15: 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed;

1 Thessalonians

4: 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I pray that you can see that no one has left the earth or been “raptured”, as you say, before the seventh trumpet.

However, God’s elect have foreknowledge and know where the secret place is and when to flee; they are not waiting for “the rapture”.

John 4: 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Remember: salvation is of the Jew, the true Israelite, to whom Jesus is our Lord, our Savior, our King, our Kinsman Redeemer, our Salvation, the Firstfruit of many brethren. If you would like to know how God’s people will be able to make it through that great and terrible day of the Lord, write me back. I love sharing knowledge.

JESUS THE UNKNOWN GOD

I have been sitting here thinking, what I should speak/teach regarding the Holy Scriptures as I was going through my class notes I saw the title, “Jesus the Unknown God”. I concluded that this would be the perfect subject to post about.

Everyone says they know Jesus, especially church folks, however, do they really. The Jesus of the Bible did not start with Mary, but is from everlasting to everlasting, Psalms 106:48. You see, no man has ever seen Jesus, John 1:18, only the begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.

Moses Saw God, Exodus 33:12-23; Exodus 34:1-9, and heard His voice, because when God passed by Moses He proclaimed the name of the Lord. The scripture does not say what name He proclaimed, but we do know that Moses knew God’s name, Exodus 6:2-3. But what name did the Lord proclaim to Moses?

Turn to John 5:37, we read where Jesus the Christ is telling the Jews, “You have never heard the Father’s voice nor seen His shape. Now, Moses heard His voice and saw God’s shape, Exodus 33:23. Jesus also tells us the Father’s name, for Jesus said that He came in the Father’s name. Now, some teach that He is not saying that Jesus is the Father’s name, when He clearly says, “I come in My Father’s name”. If this line of reasoning be the case, “What name did He come in?”
First, let’s take a look at Matthew 28:19. Here we see Jesus telling His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Well, if we are to baptize in the Father’s name we must know it. Turn to Philippians 2:5-6, these scriptures say when Jesus Christ was in the form of God, He was equal to God.

Let’s find out when Jesus was in the form of God, and what His name was. Turn to Exodus 6:2-3, the Lord tells Moses that His name is Jehovah. He was the One which came down on the mountain and gave them the Ten Commandments, Exodus 19:15-25; Exodus 20:1-17.
He also followed them in the wilderness in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, Exodus 13:21-22. Now, turn to 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, we read that it was Christ that followed them in the wilderness, when His name was Jehovah. Other Scriptures will tell you how a body was prepared for Him by the Father, Hebrew 10:5, so that He could die for the sins of the people. In Philippians 2:7-10 we read here that God gave him (Jehovah) a name above every name. He (the Father) gave Him (Jehovah) His name Jesus, “that every knee shall bow at the name of Jesus”.

So, we see that the Father gave Jehovah His name when He became man (flesh and blood). The Lord said in Psalms 22:1, 16-18, 22, that He will declare the Father’s name in the midst of the congregation. In Hebrews 2:9, 12, we see that it is Jehovah/Jesus that was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, and that he would declare they name unto my brothers in the midst of the church (Israel). In John 17th chapter, Jesus knew when His hour was come, he prayed to the Father to give back the glory He had with the Father before the world was, John 17:5, and he also revealed the Father’s name to the men that were with Him, John 17:6. He also said that He declared the Father’s name to them (the congregation) and will declare it, John 17:26.

So, I ask, what name did Jesus declare? It is the Father that sent Jesus in His name. So many people kick against the name of Jesus or say that there are other names that are God’s name, but the Lord said that His name would be great among the Gentiles and nations, Malachi 1:11.
All we have to do is find out what name the Gentiles call on and preach about the most and you have found out God’s name. In Isaiah 12:2, we read where Jehovah has become our salvation. When did Jehovah become our salvation? Before we go read it, let’s take a quick detour. Turn to Jeremiah 15:16, the Lord Jehovah said, “I am called by Thy name Lord God of Hosts”. Now, what name would that be?

Let’s read when Jehovah became out salvation, in Acts 4:10, 12, we see that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Neither is there salvation in any other name under heaven whereby men might be saved but, Jesus. So what is the name of the one that sent Jehovah? It is the Father whose name is Jesus!

This is the God that no man has ever heard His voice or seen His shape, John 5:37. Jesus tells us throughout the gospel that He was sent by the Father. Jesus tell us, also, that the words that He speaks are not His, but the Father’s, John 14:24, which gave them to Him, Revelation 1:1.
Let’s turn to John 6:38-40. Jesus tells us that He came down to do the will of Him that sent Me. He also says the same thing when he was Jehovah. Turn to Isaiah 48:16, here he tells us that the Lord God hath sent Me. In Zechariah 2:7-11, the Lord tells Israel that the Lord of Host hast sent Him , read verse 8 and you see the Lord is talking about being sent, also, in verse 11, He says the same thing.

Here, if you have any understanding, you can see that Jehovah is telling us that He was sent by Jesus, who is the Father.

You know, what I really do not understand is how people can change or try to change God’s words, like the dietary laws, law of circumcision; the Sabbath day, etc., etc., etc., because these are the Father’s words that He gave to Jehovah, who gave them to us. But people have lied on His (the Father’s) words, Isaiah 24:5. Some think that they can do this and the Father (Jesus) won’t get angry.

Let’s take a look at a time when Jesus (the Father) got angry. In Matthew27:45-51, we read where the Lord Jesus was on the cross and that it god dark at noon. Now why did it get dark from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, over all the land? Then Jesus cried unto the Father and some said let him be “let’s see if Elias will save Him”. After this Jesus cried again and gave up the ghost (died). The veil in the temple ripped and the earth quaked, while they were busy crucifying the Lord, the Father became angry. Turn to Psalms 18:6-12, here we read that the Lord called unto the Father (Jesus) and He heard His voice in His temple and He came down and He was wroth (angry) He made darkness His secret place and rode upon a cherub.

So you can see the Father was angry, and He came down to see what they were doing to His son. Now, you know why it became dark at noonday. That is why Jesus told His son to sit at His right hand until He makes His enemies His footstool, Psalms 110:1.

The Father sits on a throne in Heaven, Revelation 5:1, this is where Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father. Jesus never promised us that we would sit with the Father on His throne, as He has, but that we would sit with Him on His throne, Revelation 3:21, the throne that the Father gave Him, Luke 1:26-27, 30-33, the throne of His father David. Let’s just find out where David’s throne is.

In 1 Chronicles 29:26-27, we read that David’s throne is in Jerusalem. So Jesus will pick up His Kingship of Israel when He returns to the Earth, the title that He had before when He was Jehovah. 1 Samuel 8:5-7, 1 Samuel 12:1, 12. We see that Jesus, the Son’s, throne will be in Jerusalem. And Jesus, whom no man has ever seen dwells in Heaven. He is waiting for His creation to become perfect, which the Word will do. Oh yes, the Word is Jehovah, who became flesh. In John 1:1-3, John 1:14, if you look closely at what verses 1-3 are really saying: In the beginning was Jehovah (the Word) and Jehovah (the Word) was with Jesus (Father God), and Jehovah was God, Jehovah has been with Jesus (Father God) from the beginning, and Jehovah (the Word) created all things. Jehovah is also the beginning of Jesus’ (the Father’s) creation, Revelation 3:14.

Now, I want to ask, when did the Father’s creation begin? I thought on the matter and was in church when we were doing a lesson and it was revealed to me. I was giving thought about the creation after reading Revelation 3:14, I was thinking about the Angels, when they were created, I also was thinking about the dinosaurs, which were on the earth and created before Adam on the other side of the first flood, (you know, the one in Genesis 1:1-2), when I realized that flesh and blood can not enter into the Father’s Kingdom, 1 Corinthians 15:50. For you see the Son has a Kingdom that the Father will give Him, Daniel 7:13-14. Now in the Son’s Kingdom there will be spirit beings and flesh and blood beings.

So, I ask, if this is Jehovah’s Kingdom, which will be on the Earth and His Kingdom really began with the creation of Adam and Eve, in Genesis 1 and 2, then when did the Father's Kingdom begin? It began when Jesus rose from the dead. That is when Jesus (who was Jehovah) became the Father’s Son, Romans 1:3-4. He received all power, like the Father has, Matthew 28:18. The Father’s Kingdom will have no flesh and blood creatures, and that is why Jesus told us in John 3:3, except a man be born again he can not see the Kingdom of God (the Father). As Jesus said in Revelation 3:14, He is the beginning of the Father’s creation, in Colossians 1:15 it tells us that Jess is the first born of every creature (Sons of God), that will be in the fathers kingdom (Paradise).

Let’s take a look at the Father’s Kingdom, which will come after Jesus has ruled on the earth for a thousand years, with His Saints, Revelation 20:4. For He must put down all rule and authority and Power, then He will deliver up the Kingdom to the Father, then the end will come,

1 Corinthians 15:24-26, and New Jerusalem, the Father’s Kingdom, will come down from Heaven.

Let us take a look at Jesus’ (the Father’s) Kingdom, in John 14:2 Jesus tells us there are many mansions in His Father’s house. Now if there are many mansions in His (the Father’s) house, who will dwell in them? The Father’s house is the Holy City, Revelation 21:2, New Jerusalem which is in heaven, that will come down to us. This is the City that comes down after the second resurrection, it has twelve gated and at the twelve gates, twelve Angels and the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel, Revelation 21:12. The city is laid out as a square, the length of it; the breath of it; and the height of it is the same, 15,000 miles long, 15,000 miles wide, and 15,000 miles high. Can you even imagine buildings that tall?

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “eye has not seen, nor ear hear what God (the Father) has prepared for them that love Him.

Most people do not know that it is the Father (Jesus) that will burn up the earth with fire, before He brings His kingdom down. This will happen after the Son (Jesus/Jehovah) has reigned on this earth for one thousand years with His Saints, then Satan will be released from his prison, and after the thousand years to go out and deceive the nations. To go up to Jerusalem and attack the camp of the Saints, and fire will come down out of heaven and devour them. 2 Peter 3:6-7, tells us that the world that was destroyed by water; will be destroyed by fire, then comes the Judgment Day for all who cam not up in the first resurrection.

So you see it is the Father who sent fire down from heaven, because Jesus is already on the Earth. After the earth is cleansed, then New Jerusalem will come down, and the nations which are saved shall walk in the light of it, Revelation21:24. These nations are not flesh and blood, but Spirits for flesh and blood can not enter the Father’s Kingdom.

The Son, (Jehovah) come to the Earth on the seventh day. The Father (Jesus) comes to the earth on the eighth day. Yes, I said the eighth day, which the Pastors, Priests, Shepherds do not teach people. Read Leviticus 23:36-39, it tell about the Eighth Day, which represents the starting of something new; the beginning of another week. You can go The Israel of God’s website, to get the lesson on the Eighth Day, which was observed on October 21, 2008.

All things were given by the Father to Jesus (Son/Jehovah), John 12:49-50. Read 1 John 5:7, 10, as we read, we see that the Father gave Jesus the record. Turn to Revelation 1:1, here we read the same thing, that the Father gave the Son the record.

Now I do not claim to know how at the beginning Jehovah and Jesus took counsel on who would become the Father and who would become the Son, because they were equal. If you turn to Psalms 55:14 it tells us that they took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company. Have you ever wondered who it was that is sitting on a throne in Revelation 5:1, holding a Book in His right hand? We know that the Lamb took the Book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, Revelation 5:5-7, it is the Father, His name is Jesus. When we pray we pray to the Father in heaven asking Him to bring His Kingdom to Earth, Matthew 6:9-13.

In closing, I hope someone has gotten an understanding of the Godhead—Jehovah and Jesus—Jehovah became flesh and took on the name of Jesus—which is the Father’s name—the Father which NO MAN has seen or heard at any time, John 1:18.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Until the next time, Peace,
Brother Tyrone

THE MEMORIAL OF THE BLOWING OF TRUMPETS

I was talking to a neighbor about scriptures when he made a statement that “Gabriel will blow the horn when Jesus comes for us in the rapture”, I asked, “Can you read that to me?” He said it’s in Revelation somewhere and that he would find it and read it to me.

We then started talking about the Great trumpet or at least I did. I said do you know that there are seven Angels that have seven trumpets, in Revelation 8:2? He looked at me, funny, you know a puzzled look, a look that said “What are you talking about?” I said, “Well when you have time we will sit down and read the scriptures, and we will rightly divide the scriptures.
Well we have not sat down yet.

However, it got me to thinking about how many people do not know about the trumpets of God. Well, let’s go to the Holy Scriptures, and read about them. Turn to Leviticus 23:1-2, 4, we read that the Lord is telling Moses to speak to Israel concerning His (the Lord’s) Feasts. God to Leviticus 23:23-25, the Lord tells Moses to tell the children of Israel to observe the Memorial of the Blowing of Trumpets. “You shall have a Holy convocation, in the seventh month; the first day of the month.” Now this is just one of the Lord’s Sabbath Days, the one this post will be looking at. It is part of the Lord’s Plan.

Turn to Exodus 19:10-11, the Lord tells Moses to tell the people that the Lord was coming down on Mount Sinai, and the Lord came down, Exodus 19:14-19. And the trumpet sounded announcing the coming of the Lord/King.

So now we know that the trumpets announce the coming of the Lord. We will look at this further as we journey through the scriptures. Now turn to Numbers 31:1-6, we read that trumpets also are used to sound a battle. In the sixth chapter of Joshua we read that Israel is about to attack Jericho, for the Lord had given Jericho into the hands of Joshua, and that all the men of war should march around the city once a day for six days, and seven priests shall have seven trumpets and they shall march around the city for six days blowing the trumpets.

The people were commanded not to shout until the seventh day, when they would march around the city seven times and on the seventh go round the people would shout when the seven trumpets sounded and the wall fell down flat. The people went in and took the city of Jericho. Here we see seven priests given seven trumpets to sound at the fall of Jericho, which signals the beginning of the end of the Canaanite empire, Joshua 3:10.

Turn to Revelation 5:6, we read about the seven seals, which represent the beginning of the Great Tribulation. We will read more on the seven seals later, now turn to Revelation 8:1-2, and read about seven Angels being given seven Trumpets, Revelation 8:6. There was also seven Angels given seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, Revelation 15:1, 6-7. Most people do not know about the seven trumpets of the Lord, they are taught about only one trumpet, which is the seventh and last trumpet.

However there is much to happen before that trumpet is blown. They are never taught about the Angels that have the seven vials of wrath. That is why the Lord has a Sabbath called the Memorial of the Blowing of Trumpets, because this Sabbath is a part of the shadows of things to come, Colossians 2:16-17. This is what Paul was speaking of when he spoke of the Sabbath days, Trumpets that the seven Angels sound is the end of the Great Tribulation, Revelation 11:15, and man’s rule of this system of things. I could go into greater detail about the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven golden vials of the wrath of God, but you can join us in keep this Sabbath Day on
