Beware of Spiritual Swindlers


Matthew 7:15-23
Physical safety is a Natural concern for people today because the world is filled with instability, global conflicts, and terrorist attacks. We should rightly be concerned about protecting our community, yet when it comes to spiritual safety, churches often neglect protection against people who undermine our faith. Jesus called them wolves in sheep’s clothing and issued some stern warnings to alert us.
These wolves are false teachers and prophets who appear to be genuine spiritual guides but are actually full of schemes to advance their own agenda. They look and sound good, but inside they are consumed with lust and greed. None of this is apparent right away because they preach a fine gospel in a most compelling manner. Gradually, however, they blend inaccuracy with facts, and at this point, people seem to forget that truth mixed with error is no longer truth but has become deception. You can recognize these folks in a number of ways. Jesus said they would bear fruit that would eventually reveal their true character.
• They subtly question the Bible’s authority and relevance for today.
• Little is said about living a holy life or obeying the whole counsel of God.
• Obedience to the Lord is equated with living the way you desire.
• The welfare of the sheep concerns them less than having followers.
This is a wake-up call for anyone snoozing in the pews. We can’t afford to believe everything we hear. Follow the example of the Bereans, who were commended for using Scripture to evaluate whatever was taught (Acts 17:11).

Flesh vs Spirit

 
The Gospel of Jesus Christ demands no human efforts but only faith to be saved. When a sinner believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinner is declared righteous and no more held accountable for sins committed. Righteousness is not earned but transferred from Christ to the sinner.
Though this judicial transaction makes a sinner fit to inherit eternal life, does it also give one the liberty to commit sin? How is sanctification and holiness achieved? Paul in this passage emphasizes the fact that just like justification could not be attained by efforts, so also any amount of human efforts cannot guarantee sanctification. We are in the flesh and are incapable of any good. Yet God brings in a new dynamics to play where the Spirit of His own Son, resides in us to bring about a new and transformed life. It is through the Spirit God that brings holiness in the life of His children, which the law of old testament was weak to do so.

God’s Message

 A Scripture Reading — Malachi 1:1-2a A prophecy: The word of the Lord to Israel through Malachi. “I have loved you,” says the Lord. — Malachi 1:1-2a The name Malachi means “my messenger.” God has a message for his people, and he wants to make sure they take it seriously from the start. This is a prophecy, God says; this is my word through my messenger. God even uses his covenant name, which in the Hebrew text is YHWH (Yahweh). In English we often render it as “the Lord” (with small capital letters). This is the name God used to describe himself when he made a covenant with his people through Moses (see Ex. 3:10-20). Then, in the message through Malachi, God adds again, “says the Lord,” making clear that this is important. So what is this important message that God makes such a big deal of? Very simply, it is “I have loved you.” God’s love is the most important message of the entire Bible, and God’s love is the central message of Malachi. God loves us. Throughout the rest of the book God’s people ask him a lot of questions. And behind each one they are wondering, “How have you loved us?” God always has an answer, and he has never once let his love slip, not even for a moment. God loves you, even if you aren’t sure that he does. Even if you don’t really know him yet. Even if you know him but have been resisting him or living in rebellion against him. He still loves you, and he very much wants you to know that. 



Prayer Dear Lord, you love me. It sounds almost too good to be true. But you say it clearly. Thank you. I love you too and want to learn to love you better. Amen.

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 Chronicles 20:20


My Dear in Him,
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. - James 1:19-26.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.   Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. – 1 John 4: 4-16
 Please come over to Macedonia and help us.

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.”-2 Corinthians 4:8-15

 A widow of Zarephath was blessed because she obeyed the word of the prophet of God. The Bible stated it,

” And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.” – 1 KINGS 17: 7-16

Besides, we are ready to enter into partnership with you as a person or an organization on the ownership of the orphanage and the Institution. We also promise to make you a shareholder if you can be able to donate to this noble project so that we can meet our target to the glory of God.

God will bless you and also open financial doors into your life and He will also establish your family and bless you with Divine health.
“Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? 

Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.-
HAGGAI 1:3-11.

APPLICATION FOR DONATION OF FREE BIBLES AND OTHER LITERATURES AND BIBLE BOOKLETS FOR OUR “EVERYDAY HOME RURAL AND URBAN EVANGELISM AND SOUL WINNING EVANGELISTIC GOSPEL PROGRAM”
FOR WEST AFRICAN NATIONS.


Greetings from our Lord Jesus Christ.
it is my pleasure to write and express our thanks to you in the works you are doing for humanity and more especially in touching lives and liberating people to the glory of our Almighty Father in heaven.
I am equally writing this letter to your organization because I am led to do so by the Spirit of God Almighty.

Although, I came in contact with your address as I was searching for a competent organization that can sponsor our gospel outreach program with a donation of Bibles of either used or new bibles other literatures and booklets to enable us reach many families in west African countries who are desperate to own a Bible but cannot afford it due to financial constraint.

I hereby humbly plead by this application that you see how to assist us by sending the Bibles and other Christian publications within your disposal to enable us reach more people in our gospel program if available.
We have a target of covering and reaching the unreached through house to house evangelical program with provision of at least a single Bible to any matured individual member of family that needs the Bible but cannot be able to buy.

Bible provision will provide an enabling environment to have adequate knowledge of the personality of God and the kingdom of God as stated in the Bible book of John 17:3,

”And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”- Psalms 119: 130.

So based on this am applying for your support in donation of both the Bibles and other rich Christian publications to enable us work in partnership for this soul winning program to the glory of God.

Following the current events in the world today and more especially in African and particularly in Nigeria, Chad and Cameroun. Africa needs divine intervention like other continents but the major problem in Africa is that some of them are still totally relying in using of occult powers of idols and shrines to destroy their fellow human beings and also in hindering the trend of modern technological development from been well grounded in Africa.

We need Bibles to enable us to go about re-evangelizing the weak Christians and the alarming number of pagans that are mostly situated in Republic of Benin and Togo in West African region. Our plan is to reach millions of people living in West Africa more effectively in this grand and unique gospel program of different kind.

We don’t need to be told that there is Islamic sect called Boko Haram whose intention is to forcibly push all people into a religious faith by mass killing both in the church during church services and outside the church. I cannot fold my hands to see the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ fading away as result of fear because Christians are now afraid to go about preaching Christ Jesus.

Finally, these are some of my reasons for extending hands to you so we can keep the love of God moving on in a world where darkness is trying its possible best to comprehend the light.

Though we have a blessed scriptural assurance as stated in the bible John 1:5.
We also promise to partner with you in every other level you wish for soul winning unto Our Lord Jesus Christ. All donation made to this effect will be receipted.

I also promise to give you details of our evangelical activities and photo coverage of the recipients of the Bibles and other city wide programs we conducted with free distribution of Bibles we received from your reputable organization.

My Dear, God will bless and prosper you the more. He will also heal your sicknesses and any other acute sickness that has been in your family that defied human solution if you can obey His voice by shipping the Bibles to us in respect of this Divine mandate given to me by The Almighty father where He instructed me in a revelation to forward our Biblical need program titled,

This is the second program and it is all about donation of various materials for our school children, missionary and secular schools.

As this falls into our area I decided to reach you and to plead if you can kindly be of a help to us by donating and shipping free used books and other items listed in the body of this mail. We will appreciate it if you can consider this request for urgent need of books identified herein for our schools, religious missions and for our Prison outreach.

We run Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade classes, Nursery, primary and secondary education, theological courses in our Bible college and our main focus is raising the less privileged in the society from grass to grace.

We will like if possible to work with your organization towards realizing this noble course because this is a project and a vision we cannot run successfully without external support as a result of limited funding.
http://zionmissioncenters.blogspot.com.

We are ready to comply with you with regards to the conditions of the shipment of the books, and other materials you can be able to provide to us. Our community is educationally backward beyond your expectation as a result of poverty and so many of the children cannot afford to attend good and quality private schools with the high cost of ever increasing tuition fees and text books. This is why we have established schools for children of low-income parents to enable them meet up in all sectors of modern education and IT development.
We are also interested to tell you our genuine interest to have some number of Bibles, inspirational/motivational books included in the shipment as well. You can visit us on
http://zionmissioncenters.blogspot.com.
We can afford to receive and clear up to 20 or 40 foot shipment if you can kindly donate to us. Customs clearing of any of the shipment of any size or higher number of each of the containers is not a problem to me. You send the shipment direct to Cotonou, Republic of Benin in West Africa. The full shipment and contact address with telephone numbers is listed below right under here for clarity.
Alternatively, we will be happy if you can be able to give us support of any other kind as it is placed in your heart by The Almighty God to enable us build more schools and dormitory for NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND GROUP OF SCHOOLS development initiative more especially to the rural communities
We are open to reason and to accept any condition you might raise to help us achieve this noble project without delay. We need those materials mentioned above and we can also accept smaller quantities if you cannot ship a container load to us.
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” - 1 JOHN 3: 16-18.

FOR SURE THE TRUE GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED BEFORE THE END COMES



All Bibles clearly state that, "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 3:10). This would be the END — as far as this physical universe is concerned. But everyone knows that this has not yet happened. And it CANNOT happen until the True Gospel has been preached throughout the whole world as Yahshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) said: "And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; AND THEN SHALL THE END COME" (Matthew 24:14).

Seeing that missionaries, evangelists, priests and nuns, yogis and fakirs have gone to all of the habitable parts of the world preaching and teaching their gospel — and the heaven and the earth have not passed away nor melted with fervent heat — it becomes outstandingly clear to everyone that their gospel must not be the Real or True Gospel Spoken of by Yahshua the Messiah: or else the END would have come. Yes, if the True Gospel had already been preached in the world, then something would have happened by now; and we all would have been either in Heaven or Hell (The Lake of Fire and Brimstone) long ago. It will avail nothing for one to debate and to argue that he is preaching the True Gospel in all the world. For the evidence is clear and plain that the heavens and the earth has not passed away, nor has the END come!

THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IS PREACHED BY GOING TO THE SCRIPTURES (LAW & PROPHETS)
What is wrong, therefore? Did the Messiah lie to His disciples in uttering the words of Matthew 24:14? I would rather be as the Apostle Saul (Paul) who said, "Let Yahweh be true, but every man a liar" (Romans. 3:4). Therefore it is wiser to conclude that the Real and True Gospel of the Kingdom of Yahweh has not been preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. To state it truthfully and correctly, the majority of the religious leaders and teachers of the world do not really KNOW what is the Real or True Gospel! They have not heard it nor would they recognize it if it came face to face with them! They think that the True Gospel is preaching and teaching what one reads in the New Testament of the Gospel according to St. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And some even say that there are, therefore, FOUR gospels! The word "Gospel" means good news or glad tidings, and there was just the ONE good news or glad tidings which is the salvation of our souls through the preaching of the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah (not Jesus Christ) according to the scriptures.

One would say, "Well that is just what I have been doing — preaching the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ according to the scriptures in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John." No! That is absolutely and positively not what we mean. The Apostle Saul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you. Which also ye have received and wherein ye stand. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Yahshua died for our sins according to the Scriptures. And that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." One would still think that the Apostle is talking about the scriptures of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. But he really is not. He is talking about the same scriptures that Yahshua the Messiah referred to when He told the Jews to, "Search the Scriptures. For in them, ye think ye have eternal life; but they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39). The Messiah certainly would not have told the Jews to search something that they did not have at that time. For everyone surely knows that the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were not written at that time. Most Bible chronologists say that it was some twenty (20) or more years after the Messiah's death that the first one of these books was written. So how could the Jews search the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John? Truthfully, the scriptures that the Messiah was referring to were the old Jewish Torah or Law and Prophets (the Old Testament) which they already had in their homes, over the doors of their houses, bound around their wrists and on the hems of their garments, etc.

These same Scriptures, or Law and Testimony, were spoken of by Isaiah the Prophet some 700 years before the coming of Yahshua the Messiah — through the loins of the Virgin Mary: "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). According to the foreknowledge and election of Yahweh, He gave witness of His Son in types and shadows in the Law and the Testimony. The Law comprises the Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy; and the Testimony or Prophets comprises the Books of Joshua through Malachi.

These are the "Two Witnesses" that Yahweh has given of His Son, Yahshua the Messiah (Revelation 11:3). These "Two Witnesses" (the Law and Testimony) relate and foretell of the Birth, Life, Death, Burial and Resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah: therefore, if one is to know anything of Yahshua the Messiah, it is absolutely necessary to know what is contained in the Scriptures concerning Him.

One definitely and positively CANNOT preach the True Gospel of the Kingdom of Yahweh without showing how the Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Messiah was foretold in the Scriptures (Law and Testimony) and not by referring to the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Do you know of any preacher, minister or teacher who can instruct or teach you of the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah WITHOUT using the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? No, they would absolutely be at a loss to expound upon this subject if they did not have the books of the so-called New Testament — yet, the whole story of Yahshua the Messiah is foretold in the Old Testament or the Scriptures. Even Yahshua the Messiah, Himself, opened up the understanding of His disciples by referring to those things that were written of Him in the Law and the Testimony (Luke 24:25-27, 44-45).

Let us refer again to the words of the Apostle Saul that the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah must be preached ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), for this is the True Gospel of the Kingdom. When Yahshua the Messiah spoke the words, "And THIS Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:l4), He was speaking of the TRUE GOSPEL that tells of His Death, Burial and Resurrection — by referring to the Law and Testimony (Scriptures). He, Himself, preached this same Gospel. For Matthew later wrote of Him thusly, "And Yahshua went about ALL cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every sickness and every disease among the people" (Matthew 9:35). Now, the question may be asked, "What did the Messiah specifically preach?" We will again refer you to the Book of Matthew 16:21. "From that time forth began Yahshua to show unto His disciples, how that He must go into Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." In other words, Yahshua the Messiah preached of His Death, Burial and Resurrection; and THIS was the Gospel of the Kingdom. In another place, Matthew records thusly: "And Yahshua, going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way and said unto them, ‘Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes. And they shall deliver Him to the heathen to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him. And the third day He shall rise again’" (Matthew 20:17-19). Luke records virtually the same thing. "Then He took the twelve, and said unto them, ‘Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished. For He shall be delivered unto the heathen, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge Him and put Him to death and the third day He shall rise again.’ AND THEY UNDERSTOOD NONE OF THESE THINGS. And this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken" (Luke 18:31-34).

Even though Yahshua the Messiah plainly preached to His disciples of His death, burial, and resurrection, according to the scriptures (the Law and the Prophets) which is the True Gospel of the Kingdom — they did not understand Him. For these things were hidden from them until AFTER Yahshua had died on the cross, and been buried in Joseph's new tomb, and resurrected from the grave on the third day. In fact, Yahshua the Messiah, Himself, — after He rose from the grave a Quickening Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45) — spoke to two of His disciples as they were walking along after His resurrection. And [the two disciples] were discussing the events of His death, burial, and resurrection. And [Yahshua] said: "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not the Messiah to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in ALL the scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:25-27). And later on — when He appeared to the rest of the disciples in the upper room behind closed doors — He said unto them, "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you. That all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:44-45).

We have already shown that the True Gospel of the Kingdom is preaching the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah according to the scriptures (Genesis to Malachi). And we have already shown that Yahshua the Messiah, Himself, preached this same Gospel to His disciples by speaking to them of His Death, Burial, and Resurrection using the scriptures to open up their understanding. Now it becomes necessary to see if the disciples or apostles preached this same Gospel when they went into the world after Pentecost. The Apostle Peter — when preaching this Gospel to the Gentiles at Cornelius' house — said this: "And we are witnesses of all the things which He (Yahshua) did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem — whom they slew and hanged on a tree. Him, Yahweh raised up the third day and showed Him openly: to Him, give all the prophets witness" (Acts 10:39-40,43). The Apostle Saul also went into the synagogues of the Jews and reasoned with them out of the scriptures — opening and alleging that the Messiah must needs have suffered and risen again from the dead. And that this Yahshua, said He, Whom I preach unto you is the Messiah (Acts 17:1-3).

YAHSHUA THE MESSIAH WAS FULFILLING THE (SCRIPTURES) LAW AND PROPHETS NOT INSTITUTING ANYTHING

Again, we emphatically state that one cannot preach the True Gospel of the Kingdom of Yahshua the Messiah by referring just to the so-called Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It is absolutely necessary to go to the scriptures, the Law and the Prophets, and show by the types and shadows INSTITUTED there, that Yahshua the Messiah is the True Saviour of the world. Having done this, it then becomes no problem to see that Yahshua the Messiah was truly FULFILLING as He said, rather than INSTITUTING water baptism, Lord's Supper's, footwashing, etc. He told John the Baptist that He was fulfilling (Matthew 3:13-15). He told the multitude of people that He was fulfilling (Matthew 5:1, 17-18), and He told His own disciples that He was fulfilling (Luke 24:44). Yet, our present day theologians, ministers and preachers, for the most part, say that Yahshua (whom they call Jesus) was instituting or setting up water baptism when He was baptized of John; and that He was instituting or setting up footwashing when He washed His disciples’ feet. This IS NOT the True Gospel of the Kingdom to insist upon and encourage others to be water baptized or eat Lord's Suppers or have their feet washed saying that "Jesus" was setting an example for us to follow. This is far from the Truth. And no one can prove — by the Bible — that Yahweh, Elohim, or Yahshua the Messiah; the Lord, God, or Jesus Christ; or the Father; the Word; or the Holy Spirit; or Jehovah; or Adonai ever said to a GENTILE that he should be baptized in natural physical water as an act of salvation.

THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM CAN ONLY BE PREACHED BY USING THE TRUE NAME OF YAHSHUA THE MESSIAH

Furthermore, one is not preaching the True Gospel of the Kingdom to insist that the name of the Saviour of the World is Jesus Christ. The True Saviour's name is Yahshua the Messiah, and there is absolutely no salvation in the name, Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12, Holy Name Bible). Moses and the Prophets did not write the first pen scratch about Jesus Christ, but they did write about Yahshua the Messiah (John 1:45 & 5:46). The True Son said, "I come in my Father's Name, and ye receive me not: let another come in his own name, him ye will receive" (John 5:43). No truer words could have been spoken, for that is just what the world has done -- they have received Jesus Christ who has come in his own name, but denied Yahshua the Messiah who came in His Father's Name, Yahweh. The Y A H is common to the Father's name, and the Son's name which makes the Saviour's words true. The name YAHWEH is the Father's name and even until this day it is found in the original Hebrew manuscripts, the Masoretic texts. Every Jewish Rabbi knows that the True name of the Heavenly Father is YAHWEH, and the majority of the world-famed television and radio ministers and others know that the name of the Heavenly Father is YAHWEH, but are just too dishonest to tell their congregations the truth. Therefore, Yahweh will be justified in sending them all to the Lake of Fire and Brimstone because they received not the love of the Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

This is the True Gospel — that must be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations before the end comes — that the name of the Father and Son are Yahweh and Yahshua. And that the Son, Yahshua, came to fulfill rather than to institute and that He came according to the Scriptures or the Law and the Prophets and not according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which were not even written at that time. Anyone who will hear this True Gospel — at the end of this Age — will be saved in the True Ark of Safety, which is Yahshua the Messiah. And those who do not hear will be eternally lost as Yahshua the Messiah said: "but as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be" (Matthew 24:37).
