What do you take God & Bible for?

God, the Bible, and Me


Hos 6:6  “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burn offerings.”


Who is God?
God is self-existent. His name is Jehovah, and he is spirit (Ex 3:13-15; Jn 4:24).
God is the creator of the heavens and earth.
He is the origin of all blessings and the father of all creation.
He is a living being (Gn 1).

God created Adam and Eve as his creatures, but they were deceived by the serpent.
As a result, all things in heaven and on earth became the possessions of a mere creature, the serpent—the dragon, Satan, and the devil (Rv 12:9; Rv 20:2).
God also had to leave mankind (Gn 3; Gn 6).
Would there be any greater mortification than what God had to go through in this way?
God had to retrieve what he had lost.
He deserves happiness by restoring all things in heaven and on earth and mankind, who has fallen into death (1 Cor 15:27-28).

The Old and New Testaments, the Bible, were given to us through the prophets so that such facts could be made known to the world.
The scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35). God promised what he would fulfill in the future, and he has been fulfilling all his promises accordingly (Jn 19:30; Rv 21:6). It was also noted to us that no one must add to or subtract from Revelation in the New Testament (Rv 22:18-19), and that it was given to us, so that when it happens, we will believe (Jn 14:29).
  • God established promises with Abraham in Gn 15. Four generations, after the descendants of Abraham went to Egypt, God fulfilled his promises to Abraham through Moses.

  • God also established promises with the Old Testament prophets. Roughly about 600 years later, God fulfilled them through Jesus.

  • The promises in the New Testament have also been fulfilled, today, at the time of Revelation (Rv 21:6).

The Lord told us prophecies in advance, so that when they happen, we will believe (Jn 14:29).
We, therefore, must see the embodiment of the prophecies (the physical realities) and believe in them.(Jn 1:14)

The prophets of old were persecuted, as it was written in Acts 7:51-53 and Mt 5:11-12. Likewise, persecution continues even today. Those who persecute others are the pastors of Satan, just like Adam, who betrayed the Lord. Such people shout as if they were the orthodox pastors of God, but on the inside, they are filled with the spirits of the devil and untruth. These are the ones who killed the prophets and the apostles. They faced death in their attempt to pass the word of God on to us.

How can we say that we are true believers, if we disregard the Bible, which they gave us under such circumstances? If we neglect the Bible, will we be able to live in heaven with them, who were martyred for our sake? (Rv 20:4-6) Everyone must strive to know the Bible so that they can understand the meaning of the Bible and act according to it.

   

The following is the summary of what has been discussed thus far :
God promised to sow two types of seed about 2,600 years ago. God came to Jesus roughly 600 years after the promise was made.
God sowed his seed, whereas, the Pharisees planted the seed of the devil, the beast. Before Jesus’ ascension, he promised to return at the end of the world to harvest. From that time on, Jesus’ promise has been proclaimed to the whole world, over the course of 2,000 years.
The harvest, in fact, has begun today at the appointed time. This time of harvest, is the time for Mt 24 and the events of all the chapters of Revelation, to be fulfilled.
For the sake of the churches, the Lord has chosen a person who saw and heard the physical fulfillment [of Revelation] at the very location it was fulfilled.
  • Jn 4:36  Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.  
God fulfilled his promise with Abraham at the time of Moses,
and he also fulfilled his promises with the Old Testament prophets at Jesus’ first coming.
Likewise, Jesus’ promise in the New Testament, the book of Revelation, has been fulfilled today.
If someone refuses to hear and believe in this, he proves to be born of the seed of the weeds, just like the Pharisees at the first coming. The one who believes in it and is harvested, on the other hand, proves to be born of God’s seed.

Do you believe in this word of promise?
This is the new covenant, which is the New Testament.
This is the promise and the fulfilled physical realities.
This is the physical fulfillment that the believers must see, understand, and believe in order to attain salvation. This is what the believers must put their faith in.
