The Return Of The King

What will life be like after The Return of The King?

In 2003, "The Return Of The King" was released, and went on to become the second movie in history to have more than one billion dollars in sales.

In this movie, the return of the king, happened just as everything looked hopeless.  In this movie, the return of the king, restored the kingdom - after a long period of there being no king on the throne.  In this movie, the return of the king, saved his people from destruction by the forces of evil.  In this movie, the return of the king, brought an end to one age, and signaled the beginning of the next age.

However, this movie does not tell us much about what life is like, after the return of the king.

This movie is a work of fiction.  It happens on a fictional planet that is inhabited by fictional beings.  It occurs in a fictional time.  It is about a fictional king and a fictional kingdom.  It has a fictional villain and a fictional hero.  It has a fictional war that is fought between fictional armies.  So there are no real consequences to the return of the king, because it is all fictional.

However, there is a real story about the Return of the King, which will soon be played out in real life.  It will happen on planet Earth, which is inhabited by human beings.  It will occur in real time.  It is about a real King, the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), and a real kingdom.  It will have a real war fought between real armies.  There will be real consequences to the Return of the King, because it is all real.

In real life, the Return of the King, will happen just as everything looks hopeless (Mark 13:20-26).  In real life, the Return of the King, will revived the Kingdom of Israel - after a long period of there being no king on the throne (Acts 1:6-7).  In real life, the Return of the King, will save his people from destruction by the forces of evil (Revelation 19:11-21).  In real life, the Return of the King, will bring an end to this age, and will signal the beginning of the next age (Revelation 20:1-6).

However, the Book of Truth (The Bible) also tells us about what life is like, after the Return of the King.

After the Return of the King, the Jews will be gathered back to the Promised Land, because they will have finally decided to obey the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) with their whole heart (Deuteronomy 30:1-5).  The King will cause them to be regathered when they repent of rebelling against the commandments of the Law of Truth, just as his Father did in days of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:5-10).  It is for this very reason that the King was born (Isaiah 49:5-12).  They will remain in the Promised Land forever, because the Return of the King has caused them, to finally decide to obey the Father of Truth, with all of their heart (Jeremiah 3:19).

The King will bring them out of the countries where they were scattered and into the wilderness to plead with them, like His Father did with their ancestors (Ezekiel 20:33-35).  The King will destroy from among them, all who will not accept his rule, before the King brings the rest of the people of Israel into the Promised Land (Ezekiel 20:36-38).

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) will circumcise their hearts when he brings them back into the Promised Land, after the Return of The King, so that they can keep the commandments of the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 30:6-8).  After the Return of the King, He will give them pastors who will teach them how to follow after Him with their whole heart, so that the Ark of the Covenant is no longer needed (Jeremiah 3:15-17).  He will bring all of Israel into the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament), whereby the Law of Truth will be written on their hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33).  He will put the fear of Himself in them, so that they will not turn from Him again (Jeremiah 32:39-40).

After the Return of the King, the Father of Truth will put the Spirit of Truth in the people of Israel, so that they can keep His commandments (Ezekiel 11:19-20).  He will give them a heart of flesh, that can respond to the leading of the Spirit of Truth in keeping His commandments, instead of a heart of stone, that is hard against the commandments of the Law of Truth (Ezekiel 36:25-27).  The King will gather all of the people of Israel into the Promised Land, so his Father can pour out the Spirit of Truth upon all of them, and they can live in His presence (Ezekiel 39:25-29).  When his Father pours out the Spirit of Truth upon them, then they will mourn for their ancestors causing the King - the Man of Truth - to be pierced on the cross (Zechariah 12:10-14).  All of the people of Israel will be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, after the Return of the King (Joel 2:27-29).

The Father of Truth will finally be able to fulfill His promise, to exalt Israel above all other nations, when the people of Israel finally keep the Law of Truth, with all of their heart (Deuteronomy 28:1-13).  The kingdom of Israel, that the Father of Truth has always desired, will finally come into existence to rule over all other nations, after the Return of the King (Micah 4:6-8).

The King will return to show mercy to the people of Israel, and the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 32:41-43).  The King will gather them because he is merciful to them (Psalm 106:45-47).  The King will gather them from all lands - not because they are good, but because he is good (Psalm 107:1-3).  Those who return to Promised Land, will know that they have not come into the Promised Land because they are righteous - but because the King is righteous (Ezekiel 20:42-44).

The King will finish the gathering of the Jews into Israel that began in 1870 (Isaiah 43:1-6).  So the King will command the Gentiles, to complete what the Gentile Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) began in 1870 (Isaiah 49:22).  The King will command the Jews in Israel, to go out to the Gentiles, to command them to bring the Jews to Jerusalem, as their offering to the the Father of Truth (Isaiah 66:18-20).

The King will return to cause his elect people, the descendants of Israel, to inherit the Promised Land (Isaiah 65:8-10).  The Father of Truth will seek out those unknown descendants of Israel, who had lost their identity after their ancestors were scattered, and gather them back to the Promised Land (Ezekiel 34:11-16).  The King will send out Angels of Truth throughout the Earth, to gather those descendants of Israel, who have lost their identity (Matthew 24:30-31).  The Angels of Truth will be able to gather those descendants of Israel, who the Gentiles could not identify (Mark 13:26-27).

The King will not only cause the Jews, who were first carried away, by the Babylonians, from the two tribe Kingdom of Judah, to be brought back to the Promised Land, but also those whose ancestors were carried away from the ten tribe kingdom of Israel, by the Assyrians (Jeremiah 3:11-14).  This gathering together of the descendants of Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel), by the King, will be greater than the exodus out of Egypt, by Moses (Jeremiah 23:3-8).  Just as the Father of Truth brought the Jews, who turned back to Him, to the land of Judah at the end of the Babylonian captivity, so also will the King bring back all of Jacob, to the Promised Land, after the Return of The King (Jeremiah 29:10-14).  The King shall gather all of his people unto his Kingdom, that were saved, by the Return of the King (Jeremiah 31:7-11).  The King will gather them into the same land, that the Babylonians took them out of, to remain there forever (Jeremiah 32:36-44).  Just as the Father of Truth scattered them via the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Romans, for departing from Him, so also will He use the King, to gather them, when they return to Him (Ezekiel 11:15-17).  The people of Israel will never again, live in fear of their enemies, when they have been gathered to the Promised Land, after the Return of the King (Ezekiel 28:24-26).

The Return of the King, will bring an end to all fighting between the Jews. and those who descended from the ten tribe kingdom of Israel (Isaiah 11:13).  Instead, they shall unite, to bring into subjection, all who remains of their enemies in the Promised Land, and to create a highway, for the return of those whose ancestors, were scattered by the Assyrians (Isaiah 11:14-16).  Those who were scattered from both kingdoms, shall come together from the north, to the Promised Land (Jeremiah 3:18).  The descendants of Israel, from both kingdoms, will come together as one people, into the Promised Land, after the Return of the King (Hosea 1:10-11).  The entire Promised Land will finally be divided, between the tribes of Israel, in a new manner (Ezekiel 47:13-21).  After the Return of the King, it will be as if both kingdoms, had never been destroyed, and the people of Israel, had never been scattered (Zechariah 10:6-10).

The King will cause any Gentiles, who are in the Promised Land, to receive an inheritance, that is equal to that of the native born descendants of Israel, and to be counted as a member of the tribe, that they live among (Ezekiel 47:22-23).  Afterwards, the King will cause. the Tabernacle of David to be rebuilt, and the Gentile Children of Truth, who live in the Promised Land, will be counted as part of the people of Israel (Amos 9:10-12).  All that are left of the Palestinians (Philistines), after the Return of the King, will be counted as part of the tribe of Judah, just like the Jebusites, who came to worship the Father of Truth, were counted as part of the tribe of Judah, in the days of David (Zechariah 9:5-7).  For this reason, there will no longer be any Canaanites left in the Promised Land, to come into the Temple, after the Return of the King (Zechariah 14:20-21).

The King will cause the Promised Land to be fertile again, and cause the people of Israel to rebuild the cities of the Promised Land, so that they will understand, that the mercy they received, is not for their own sake (Ezekiel 36:28-32).  The King will cause crops to grow so fast, that the reaper will reap, right after the sower sows (Amos 9:13-15).

After the Return of the King, a river will flow out of the Temple, that will cause the Dead Sea, to no longer be dead, except for the marshes at the edges, and the Dead Sea will be full, of the same kinds of fish, as the Mediterranean Sea (Ezekiel 47:8-11).  This river will be lined with trees, that bear their fruit year round, and whose leaves will provide medicine, for every disease (Ezekiel 47:12).  This river will flow westward from Jerusalem, to the Mediterranean Sea, and eastward from Jerusalem, to the Dead Sea (Zechariah 14:8).

The Return of the King, will bring about peace, even between the animals of the whole Earth, so that they no longer kill, and eat each other (Isaiah 11:6-10).  The animals will all eat vegetation, like they did before the Flood (Isaiah 65:25).  After the Return of the King, nobody will have any reason to fear any animals, just like in the Garden of Eden (Ezekiel 34:25-28).

After the Return of the King, people will not die of old age, but only those who sin will die, so that the elect, the people of Israel, may enjoy what they have built (Isaiah 65:20-22).  

The King will regather the people of Israel, into the Promised Land, so that the Gentiles will understand, that He is the one, who they must seek (Isaiah 11:10-12).  The King also gather all among the Gentiles, who have kept the Sabbath, to live with Him, in Jerusalem (Isaiah 56:2-8).  The Gentiles shall worship the Father of Truth alone, after the Return of the King (Isaiah 65:16).  The Gentiles shall know that the Father of Truth, is the one true God, when the people of Israel, are gathered back to the Promised Land, after the Return of the King (Ezekiel 36:21-24).  The King will gather the people of Israel, back to the Promised Land, and make it like the Garden of Eden, so that the Gentiles will know, that the Father of Truth did this, after the Return of the King (Ezekiel 36:33-36).  The Gentiles will finally see the people of Israel as a blessing, instead of a curse, when they have been gathered back to the Promised Land, after the Return of the King (Zephaniah 3:15-20).  The Return of the King to save Israel, will bring life from the dead, for the Gentiles (Romans 11:11-15).

After the Return of The King, he will be given all nations, and he will break every large nation, into many smaller nations (Psalm 2:7-9).  The King redeemed the entire human race on the cross, and will rule over the entire human race, after the Return of the King (Isaiah 49:4-8).  The King will be king over every nation on Earth (Daniel 7:13-14).  The Children of Truth will reign with the King, over all the Earth, after the Return of the King (Daniel 7:18-22).  They shall rule as kings, over every nation on Earth, under the rule of the King (Daniel 7:27).  The King will not just be the king, over the people of Israel, but will rule over the entire Earth, from Jerusalem (Zechariah 9:8-10).  The Man of Truth will truly be the King of Kings, when he returns (Revelation 19:11-16).

The Father of Truth will cause David, to again be the king, over all who live in Israel, when they are gathered back to the Promised Land, after the Return of the King (Jeremiah 30:8-10).   He will save them, and make them into one nation, with David as their only king (Ezekiel 34:22-24).  They will be gathered to be one nation, instead of two nations, and David will be their king forever (Ezekiel 37:21-25).  When the Return of the King causes them, to seek after the Father of Truth, then David will end, their two thousand years of being without a king (Hosea 3:4-5).

After the return of the King, the original twelve Apostles of Truth, will each rule over a tribe of Israel (Matthew 19:27-29).  They will rule over the twelve tribes of Israel, because they endured hardship with the King, before he left the Earth (Luke 22:28-30).

The King will gather the people of Israel, to rebuild Jerusalem (Psalm 147:1-2).  The King will fill Jerusalem with peace, and from there send out his commandments, into all of the Earth (Psalm 147:12-15).  The King will send the Law of Truth, out from Jerusalem, to fill the Earth with peace (Isaiah 2:2-4).  The King will cause Jerusalem, to be finally filled with rejoicing instead of weeping (Isaiah 65:18-19).

Those who return to the Promised Land, after the Return of the King, shall resume the sacrifices, in the Temple, in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 20:40-41).  The King will cause the Gentiles, to bring in many offerings, to rebuild the Temple, in Jerusalem, so that it will be more beautiful, and magnificent, than any of the Temples, that were built before it, in Jerusalem (Haggai 2:6-9).

The King will cause the Gentiles, to come to Jerusalem, to learn from the people of Israel, how to keep the Law of Truth, so that every person on Earth, will experience peace and prosperity (Micah 4:1-5).  Every year, after the Return of the King, all of the Gentiles will come to Jerusalem, to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, in the presence of the King (Zechariah 14:16-19).

Life after the Return of the King, is what the last act of the Greatest Play Ever, is all about.  The Earth will be full of peace and prosperity, after the Return of the King.  The whole Earth will be under the Law of Truth, after the Return of the King.  Every man on Earth will be able to live in peace, and enjoy the fruits of his own labor, after the Return of the King.  There will be no wicked rulers over anyone, after the Return of the King.  There will be no incurable diseases, or even growing old, after the Return of the King.  It will like every person, is living in the Garden of Eden, after the Return of the King.  Life after the Return of The King, will be better than anything the human race, has ever experienced.  Yet, life after the Return of the King, can only begin as the aftermath of the Tribulation.  Life after the Return of the King, will be so good, that the Children of Truth say "Bring it on!", to whatever it takes, to bring it to pass.

As good as life will be for the people of Earth, after the Return of the King, it will be even better for those, who come into the House of Truth today, and carry out the commandments of the King today.  Even though the best positions in Israel, have already been filled, the King still needs Jewish Children of Truth, to fill the other positions in Israel.  The King also still needs Gentile Children of Truth, from every ethnic group, to fill similar positions in the other nations, that cover the rest of the Earth. These Gentile nations will be patterned after Israel, where each ethnic group will have its own land, and be ruled over by a Child of Truth, of that ethnic group.

The Children of Truth will all reign with the Man of Truth, after he returns, just as they will all suffer persecution, for carrying out his commandments in this present world (2 Timothy 2:12). They will be among the Children of Truth, who are in his armies, at the Return of the King (Revelation 19:11-14).  They will be rewarded, after the Return of the King (Revelation 22:10-12).

Even better, the Children of Truth, who are found worthy, will escape the Tribulation, and be with the King, before he returns to rule the Earth (Luke 21:34-36). When the Man of Truth meets those who are worthy, in the air, it will be too late to avoid the Tribulation.  You need to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime, during the lifetime of the opportunity.  You need to heed the warning of the Spirit of Truth, "People get ready!".

The Law of Truth was not far off from the people of Israel, in the wilderness, so that they could not know how to obtain the blessing, that came from obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 30:10-14).  In the same way, the Good News about the Man of Truth, is not far off from you, so that you cannot know how to obtain the blessing, that comes from obeying the commandment of the Father of Truth (Romans 10:6-8).  The Father of Truth is commanding you, to come into the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth your King today, because you believe the Good News, that He raised the Man of Truth from the dead (Romans 10:9-10).  Both Jews and Gentiles. are invited to come into the House of Truth, and benefit from, the Return of the King (Romans 10:11-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

Bring It On!

How should the Children of Truth respond to the coming of the Tribulation?

In the near future, there will be a series of unprecedented wars, natural disasters, famines, devastating outbreaks of diseases and other catastrophes that will kill perhaps eleven out of twelve people on planet Earth. This unprecedented global devastation will occur over the course of just a few years.  These darkest days in the history of the human race are called, "The Tribulation".  The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) said, the Tribulation will be so bad, that if those days were allowed to continue without being brought to a sudden end, then nothing on Earth would survive (Matthew 24:21-22).

When the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) arises to power at the beginning of the Tribulation, it will cause World War III, which will bring about destruction and starvation resulting in the death of one fourth of the human race (Revelation 6:1-8).

Then there will be a tremendous earthquake that will shake every mountain and island while the Earth will be struck with many large meteorites (Revelation 6:12-14).  Then burning meteorites are going to cause one third of all trees and all of the grass on Earth to be burned up (Revelation 8:7).  Then a large burning meteor, or perhaps even an asteroid, is going to strike the ocean, killing one third of all sea life and destroying one third of all ships (Revelation 8:8-9).  Then another burning meteor or asteroid will strike the aquifer for one third of the rivers and will make their water deadly to everyone who drinks it, possibly from radiation (Revelation 8:10-11).  Needless to say, many people will die from all of these disasters, perhaps another fourth of the human race.

Then another third of the human race will be killed by supernatural horsemen (Revelation 9:14-19).

Not only will many of the Children of Lies die from these disasters, but many Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) will die for following the Man of Truth (Revelation 6:9-11).  These will overcome the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) because they will not love their own lives enough to avoid death by submitting to the Man of Lies (Revelation 12:10-11).  The Father of Lies will continue to make war against the Children of Truth throughout the Tribulation (Revelation 12:17).  The Man of Lies will overpower many of the Children of Truth (Revelation 13:4-7).  The Prophet of Lies (The False Prophet) will cause many of them to die for not worshiping the image of the Man of Lies (Revelation 13:11-15).  Even after that, many more of the Children of Truth will die (Revelation 14:12-13).  They will be beheaded for preaching the Good News about the Man of Truth, and refusing to worship the Man of Lies (Revelation 20:4).

John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John) was shown by the Man of Truth, all of this death and destruction that will come upon the Earth during the Tribulation (Revelation 1:1-2).  So how did John the Jew respond to the coming of the Tribulation?  He, in effect, said "Bring it on!" (Revelation 22:20).

Why did John the Jew respond to the coming of the Tribulation this way?  Why did he, in effect, say, "Bring it on!"?

John the Jew said, "Bring it on!" because he was looking at the end result of the process instead of being fixated on the process itself.

John the Jew knew that the purpose of the Tribulation was to cause the Jewish people to be obedient to the voice of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), so He could bring upon them all that He had promised their fathers (Deuteronomy 4:29-31).  He knew that the Jewish people have to accept the Man of Truth, as the Messiah who the Father of Truth said they must obey, before the Man of Truth could return to fulfill those promises (Matthew 23:39).  He knew that the Tribulation would cause the Jewish people, who survived, to accept the Man of Truth as their messiah, so that He could return to reign Israel and the world (Revelation 19:11-16).  He knew that only after the Man of Truth returned to reign over Israel, and the whole world, could those promises be fulfilled during his thousand year reign (Revelation 20:4-6).  John the Jew understood that the Tribulation was necessary, to bring about the reign of the Man of Truth, to fulfill the promises concerning Israel.  So he said, "Bring it on!".

John the Jew knew that the Tribulation would bring about glorious rest for the Gentiles, during the reign of the Man of Truth (Isaiah 11:9-10).  He knew that the Man of Truth would teach the Gentiles how to live justly during his reign (Isaiah 42:1-3).  He knew that the Man of Truth would return to be the savior of the Gentiles, and to show them how to live in a manner pleasing to his Father (Isaiah 49:4-6).  He knew that the Tribulation will turn the Gentiles completely away from idolatry, forever, so that they seek after the Father of Truth instead (Jeremiah 16:18-21).  He knew that the return of the Man of Truth, would cause the Gentiles to worship the Father of Truth, throughout the Earth (Malachi 1:11).  He knew that the Jewish people accepting the Man of Truth as their king, was life from the dead for the Gentiles (Romans 11:13-15).  John the Jew understood that the Tribulation was necessary to bring about the reign of the Man of Truth, to fulfill the promises concerning the Gentiles.  So he said, "Bring it on!".

John the Jew knew that the reign of the Man of Truth, would cause the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), to become the law of the entire world, to bring an end to war forever (Isaiah 2:2-4).  He knew that the Man of Truth would show, both Jews and Gentiles, how to keep the Law of Truth in the manner that his Father had always intended, during his reign (Isaiah 42:4-6).  He knew that the Man of Truth will magnify the Law of Truth, and cause all to honor it, during his reign (Isaiah 42:21).  He knew that when all of the Jewish people, who survive the Tribulation, accept the Man of Truth as their king, then they will come into the House of Truth, where the Law of Truth will be written on their hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33).  He knew that when all of the Jewish people, who survive the Tribulation, accept the Man of Truth as their king, then the Father of Truth will put the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) in all of them, so that they can keep the Law of Truth, and possess Promised Land forever (Ezekiel 36:26-28).  John the Jew understood that the Tribulation was necessary, to bring about the reign of the Man of Truth, so that the whole world would be under the Law of Truth.  So he said, "Bring it on!".

John the Jew knew that the Jews, who would not obey the Man of Truth, would have to answer to the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:17-19).  He knew that the song, which the Father of Truth had Moses teach the people of Israel, ended with a promise, that He would bring terrible destruction upon all of the wicked (Deuteronomy 32:41-43).  He knew that the Tribulation, was the time of Jacob's (Israel's) trouble, that would bring about the salvation of the Jewish people (Jeremiah 30:5-7).  He knew that the Father of Truth, would use the Tribulation, to destroy the two out of three people in Israel, who would not submit to the Man of Truth, under any circumstances (Zechariah 13:8-9).  He knew that the meek could only inherit the Earth, and enjoy righteousness to the full, by the wicked being destroyed off the face of the Earth, in the Tribulation (Matthew 5:5-8).  He knew that every Jew, who would not submit to the Man of Truth, would be destroyed off the face of the Earth, in the Tribulation (Acts 3:22-23). He knew that the Man of Truth would avenge the Children of Truth, in the Tribulation (2 Thessalonians 1:6-8).  He knew that those who would destroy the Earth, would be destroyed in the Tribulation (Revelation 11:18).  He knew that the Tribulation, was the fulfillment of the terrible destruction spoken about, in the song of Moses (Revelation 15:1-3).  He knew that the Tribulation, would expose those who will not repent of their wickedness, under any circumstances (Revelation 16:8-11).  He knew that the Man of Truth, would finish destroying the wicked off of the face of the Earth, at the end of the Tribulation (Revelation 19:17-21).  John the Jew understood that the Tribulation was necessary, to destroy the wicked off of the face of the Earth, so that the meek could live under the righteous rule of the Man of Truth.  So he said, "Bring it on!".

John the Jew knew that those among the Children of Truth, who are worthy, will be taken off of the Earth, to be with the Man of Truth, and escape the Tribulation (Luke 21:34-36).  He knew that every Jew, who survives the Tribulation, will come into the House of Truth and be saved, as the Father of Truth had promised, to Abraham (Abram), Isaac (Yitzhak) and Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) (Romans 11:26-29).  He knew that the Tribulation, would cause many to leave the House of Truth, who had not been worthy to escape the Tribulation (2 Thessalonians 2:2-4).  He knew that the Tribulation, will cause the lukewarm, among those who called themselves the Children of Truth, to be forced to decide whose side they are on, and some will come back into the House of Truth (Revelation 3:15-19).  He knew that a hundred and forty four thousand Jews, will come into the House of Truth, during the Tribulation, to testify about the Good News (Revelation 7:3-8).  He knew that a great multitude, of Gentiles and Jews, will come into the House of Truth, during the Tribulation (Revelation 7:9-14).  He knew that two witnesses, will come down from Heaven, to give testimony of the Good News (Revelation 11:3-7).  He knew that these two witnesses, would then literally re-enact the death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven of the Man of Truth, for all the world to see (Revelation 11:7-12).  He knew that this literal re-enactment, would cause many Jews, in the city of Jerusalem, to come into the House of Truth (Revelation 11:13).  He knew that an Angel of Truth, would preach the Good News, to Jews and Gentiles across the Earth, while two other Angels of Truth will warn them, to not give into the Man of Lies (Revelation 14:6-11).  He knew that this, would cause many more people, to come into the House of Truth (Revelation 14:12-13).  John the Jew understood that the Tribulation was necessary, to bring the greatest number of people in history, into the House of Truth.  So he said, "Bring it on!".

John the Jew knew that the Tribulation is the sixth act, the Fast, in the Greatest Play Ever.  He knew that the Great War will bring about the End of All Trouble.  He knew that the Father of Truth, will not accept collateral damage among His Children in the Tribulation, yet still the world has to be brought into total surrender to the Man of Truth, for it to enjoy the restoration of the Earth to a paradise, in the aftermath of his reign.  Everyone who has heeded the warning of "People get ready", that the Spirit of Truth is giving, in response to the signs of the times, should respond to the coming of the Tribulation, by saying, "Bring it on!".

The Tribulation is terrifying to everyone in the House of Lies, but everything looks different when you come into the House of Truth.  There is still time to escape the Tribulation, by coming into the House of Truth, today, instead of waiting for Hell on Earth, to force you into a decision.  Today, you can come into the House of Truth, by submitting to the Man of Truth in total surrender, because you believe the Good News, that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  The Father of Truth has been holding off the Tribulation, until it is necessary, because He is not willing that anyone should perish in it (2 Peter 3:3-9).  If you have been lukewarm, then you can repent right now, and still escape the Tribulation, by coming back into the House of Truth, because the Man of Truth will forgive you, when you admit the error of your ways (1 John 1:9).  The Spirit of Truth is urging you, to come into the House of Truth, so you can say about the coming of the Tribulation, "Bring it on!" (Revelation 22:17).


Come into the House of Truth!

People Get Ready!

Are you ready for the Rapture?

For about a three months, I made a daily 110 mile one way commute to Oklahoma City to work as a contractor for the government.  The job paid very well, but the one hour and forty minute trip each direction, would take its toll on me.  It was especially hard on the way home each evening.

Sometimes, it seemed like I could not go on, and would have pull over to rest.  The problem is that between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, there is one midway, and one small gas station on each side of the interstate.  There really was no good place to pull over and rest, once you got past the midway.

Just when I would feel like I was going to have to pull over on the side of I-44, this song would come on the radio named "People Get Ready" by Crystal Lewis.  When I would hear this song, I would get energized and become very alert.  I would remain awake and alert until I got home.  My spirit was revived every time I heard that song.

This chorus of the song went like this:

People get ready! Jesus is coming
Soon we will be going home.
People get ready! Jesus is coming
To take from the world his own.

Well, it has been almost twenty years since the first time I heard that song on the radio.  As of this writing, the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), has not yet came to take from the world his own.  Yet, I still get excited every time I think about the day, when he will do just that.

This event called "the Rapture", is closely tied to another event, where the world is brought under the judgment of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), called "the Tribulation" (Matthew 24:21).  The Rapture is a name given to the event, where the Man of Truth takes the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) from this world, to meet him in the air, so they can live with him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

Now people, argue about the timing of these two events and divide themselves up into pre-trib Rapture, mid-trib Rapture, and post-trib Rapture camps.  It is understandable that there are disagreements about the timing of these events.  The fact is that somethings in the Book of Truth (The Bible) can only be understood correctly with a lot of study (2 Timothy 2:15).  Somethings in the Book of Truth are simply hard to understand (2 Peter 3:16).

There is also a third event related to the Tribulation called the Return.  For the most part, the pre-trib Rapture, mid-trib Rapture, and post-trib Rapture camps all agree, that the Return is the event that brings the end of the Tribulation.  The Return is when the Man of Truth returns to the Earth with the Children of Truth to destroy the wicked off the face of the Earth (Revelation 19:11-21).  The Return also ushers in the thousand year reign of the Man of Truth over the Earth called the Millennium (Revelation 20:1-6). 

A major reason for the disagreements over the timing of the Rapture with respect to the Tribulation is that people get passages about the Rapture and the Return confused with each other.  When someone tries to apply a passage about the Return, when the Man of Truth comes with the Children of Truth to take over the Earth, to the Rapture, when the Man of Truth comes to take the Children of Truth off of the Earth, then they are bound to come to the wrong conclusion.

For example, in his second letter to the Thessalonians, Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) defined "that Day" as the Return, when the Man of Truth returns to the Earth with the Children of Truth to destroy the wicked (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).  He then wrote in the very same passage about how "that Day" (the Return) could not occur until many people leave the House of Truth and the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) is revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4).

Yet frequently people contribute "that Day" to be the Rapture in the second part of the passage even though "that Day" was clearly defined as the Return in the first part of the passage.  Needless to say, this gives them all kinds of difficulties reconciling the sequence of events.  One way to reconcile the sequence of events is to say that the Rapture does not occur until after the Man of Lies comes to power.  The main issue with using this passage to support this sequence of events is that the entire passage is about the Return - and not the Rapture.

If they stick with "that Day" being the Return, as clearly defined in the passage itself, then the sequence of events works out easily and naturally.  The sequence of events in this passage is that the Man of Truth will not return to the Earth with the Children of Truth, to destroy the wicked lead by the Man of Lies, until after the Man of Lies comes to power.   It is so simple to understand, when taken in context, that it takes effort to get it wrong.  People only have difficulty when "that Day" is taken out of context.

However, when I was growing up, the Methodist church I attended, was no-trib.  There was simply no concept of the Tribulation or the Rapture ever occurring.  This is why none of the religious professionals that I talked to could explain the dreams and visions that I had of the Tribulation, before I came into the House of Truth.  They also could not explain my dreams of being caught up in the Rapture, that started on the night that I came into the House of Truth.

The Man of Truth plainly warned the Children of Truth about the Tribulation.  Paul the Jew plainly wrote that the Children of Truth would meet the Man of Truth in the air to be with him forever.  John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John) plainly wrote that the Man of Truth would return to the Earth with the Children of Truth and then reign over the Earth for a thousand years.  So those who preach that there is no Tribulation, no Rapture, no Return, and no Millennium, are preaching another Gospel, that is different than what is found in the Book of Truth (The Bible).

Needless to say, I did not get my understanding of the Rapture and the Tribulation based on any tradition that I grew up with.  Neither have I based my understanding of the Tribulation and the Rapture on my own personal experiences.

Yet, those experiences did lead me to see what the Book of Truth had to say about what I saw.  It was by studying out these events in the Book of Truth that I came to understand how these events relate to each other.  My understanding came from studying the Book of Truth extensively as I was lead by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost).

For me, there is no doubt about the sequence of the Rapture and the Tribulation because it is laid out in the Feasts of Truth (Moedim aka Feasts of the Father of Truth ) that form the Greatest Play Ever.  In these feasts, The Day of Alarming comes before the the Great War of the Tribulation that brings this world into Total Surrender to the Man of Truth.  The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) simply will not accept His Children being collateral damage when He pours out His wrath on this world.

You see this song would wake up my spirit and renew my strength because I long to be with the Man of Truth.  If I could say "Beam me up" today and meet him in the air, then I would do it, but it is up to His Father when that day will come.  I know that in a very real way, that the moment I am raptured, will be the moment I become alive.  Yet I am encouraged, because I can see things like Greece rising, that are preparing the world for the Tribulation, that follows the Rapture.

Now that I have established what the Rapture is, and what the Tribulation is, it brings up more questions.  What exactly is meant by "People get ready" when it comes to the Rapture?  Does the Book of Truth even say anything about the Children of Truth getting ready for the Rapture?  If so, then how exactly are people supposed to get ready for the Rapture?

While there are honest people who believe that the Rapture will occur in the middle of the Tribulation (the "mid-trib" camp), and at the very end of the Tribulation (the misnamed "post-trib" camp), there are also plenty of dishonest people selling a mid-trib Rapture or post-trib Rapture to make money.  They are not hard to spot, if you just pay attention to what they are doing. 

First, they create FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), by telling people that there is not a single verse in the Book of Truth to suggest that the Rapture will occur before the Tribulation.  Then after that, they go on to explain how all of the signs for the Tribulation to start soon are in place, so the Children of Truth had better prepare right away, if they want to survive the Tribulation.  Once they have sold the Children of Truth on the idea that their families will suffer, unless they prepare now, then they seek to cash in on the FUD that they have created, by offering "Tribulation Survival Gear".  This "Tribulation Survival Gear" consists of things like portable power generation, survivalist food, water distillation kits, and every other imaginable thing, that people are willing to pay money for, in order to protect their families during the Tribulation.  The best part of their marketing scheme, is that they are registered as a 501c3 charitable organization, and the "donations" that people make to get their "Tribulation Survival Gear" are all tax free.

Let's be honest, for anyone running such a scam, people expecting a pre-trib Rapture is very bad for business, because there is no incentive for people to buy "Tribulation Survival Gear", when they are going not to go through the Tribulation.  Those pre-trib Rapture people will do something else with their money - like taking care of the poor and supporting missionaries.  However, if they can convince people of a mid-trib Rapture, then they can sell them enough "Tribulation Survival Gear" to last for three and half years.  Even better, they can double their sales, if they can convince people of a post-trib Rapture.

It should be no surprise that selling people on a mid-trib Rapture, and post-trib Rapture, has become a big business, with infomercials, disguised as "ministries", on Christian Television.  After all, the Book of Truth warned us that some people, who call themselves followers of the Man of Truth, would teach whatever doctrine that would allow them to make the most money off of the Children of Truth (2 Peter 2:1-3).

So really, the Jim Fakers of the world are telling people to get ready for the Tribulation, not the Rapture.  They have no plan of being taken off of this world before the Tribulation, and neither would I, if I was like them.

While there is literally enough written in the Book of Truth, that removes all doubt that the Rapture occurs before the Tribulation to write a thick book, it is not really necessary to do so.  All that is necessary, is to consider what the Man of Truth said, about the timing of the Rapture and the Tribulation.  The Man of Truth plainly said, that those who are worthy are going to escape the entire Tribulation, and be with him instead (Luke 21:35-36).  This is so straight forward, and simple to understand, that most people can only get it wrong, with the assistance of a religious professional, or a "Tribulation Survival Gear" sales person.

The fact is that no where does the Book of Truth tell us to get ready for the Tribulation.  However, the Book of Truth does tell us to get ready for the Rapture.

The Man of Truth said that there would be signs that the Tribulation is near, including the convergence of many people claiming to be him, a multitude of wars, all kinds of conspiracy theories (rumors) about wars that never even happen, internal wars between ethnic groups, and external wars between countries (Matthew 24:4-8).  He also said that earthquakes (including underwater ones that cause tsunamis) would occur across the globe, including places that normally do not get earthquakes like Oklahoma, famines, devastating disease outbreaks, and unusual astronomical events, all occurring in waves, would be signs that the Tribulation is near (Luke 21:9-11).

The Man of Truth said that the Children of Truth can know when the Tribulation is near, because everything from the beginning of the signs of the approach of the Tribulation, to his return to rule this Earth, would occur during the lifetime of a single generation (Matthew 24:32-34).  The Man of Truth said, when the signs appear to show that the Tribulation is near, then the Children of Truth should look up, because their redemption is about to happen (Luke 21:25-28).

The redemption of our bodies is what is near, when the signs of the Tribulation are near (Romans 8:23).  Some of the Children of Truth will have their bodies redeemed without ever dying (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).  This redemption occurs, when the Children of Truth are taken off of the Earth in glorified bodies, to meet the Man of Truth in the air, which is commonly called the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).  The Children of Truth are to comfort each other with the message that those, who are worthy, will escape the Tribulation, by being taken up in the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).  They are not be overtaken by the Tribulation coming upon them, like a thief in the night, that will come upon those who do not know to look for the signs that the Tribulation is near, but they are instead to be awake to what is really going on, so they can escape the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:1-4).

He warned that no one, except His Father, knows when the Tribulation will start, but everyone can be certain that everything He said, will happen (Matthew 24:35-36).  He warned the Children of Truth to not be so wrapped up in day to day living, that they are unaware of the signs that the Tribulation is near, so they can be like Noah and escape the wrath, that His Father will pour out on the entire Earth (Matthew 24:37-39).  He warned the Children of Truth, since they do not know when the Tribulation will start, then they should watch for signs and stay ready to escape the Tribulation (Matthew 24:42-44).  He warned the Children of Truth, to not get caught up in Earthly pleasures, so that they are not prepared, and end up going through the Tribulation, but to instead to seek to be counted worthy, to escape going through any part of the Tribulation (Luke 21:34-36).   So the Man of Truth is saying to the Children of Truth, "People get ready!".

So not only did the Man of Truth say that the Rapture would come before the Tribulation, but he also said that the Children of Truth should seek to be counted worthy to escape the Tribulation, and be with him instead (Luke 21:36).  (This is literally "a single verse" that tells about a pre-trib Rapture.)  So, not all of the Children of Truth will escape the Tribulation through the Rapture.  Only the Children of Truth who ready for the Rapture, by being counted as being worthy of escaping the Tribulation, will escape the Tribulation through the Rapture!  Those who are not ready will be left behind to go through the Tribulation.  In other words, the Man of Truth is saying to the Children of Truth, "People get ready!".

So what do the Children of Truth have to do to be counted worthy to escape the Tribulation?  How does any one get ready for the Rapture?

The Man of Truth said, that those who are worthy to escape, are those in the congregations of the Children of Truth who are carrying out his instructions, which he gave before he left the Earth, when the time to meet him comes (Matthew 24:45-47).  In like manner, those in the congregations of the Children of Truth who are not carrying out his instructions, but instead taking abusing other people and living like the Children of Lies, will face the consequences of their hypocrisy (Matthew 24:48-51).

The Man of Truth said that the Children of Truth are to be occupied, with taking care of his business on this Earth, while he is away (Luke 19:11-13). The Man of Truth made it very clear what the business that the Children of Truth are to occupied with, when he gave his final instructions before leaving the Earth.

The Man of Truth said that the Children of Truth are to be occupied with baptizing people of all ethnic groups into the House of Truth and teaching them to do everything that he commanded (Matthew 28:18-20).  He said that the Children of Truth are to be occupied with preaching the Good News about him and confirming their message with supernatural signs (Mark 16:16-18).  He said that the Children of Truth are to be occupied with seeking out the Baptism of the Spirit of Truth that his Father promised so they can preach the Good News with signs following (Luke 24:46-49).  He said that the Children of Truth are to be occupied with the tasks that he has assigned them regardless of the cost (John 21:17-22).  He said that the Children of Truth are to be occupied with taking the Good News about him world-wide, after they have been baptized in the Spirit of Truth, instead of preparing for the Tribulation, which only his Father knows, exactly when it will start (Acts 1:4-9).  This is what the Man of Truth means by "People get ready!".

This does not mean that the Father of Truth wants His Children ignoring what the Book of Truth says about the future.  The truth is that the Father of Truth commands His Children to be aware of his plans and act accordingly.  This is why He gave the Revelation to the Man of Truth to give to His Children (Revelation 1:1-3).

He does not want His Children being asleep to danger so that they are destroyed like those who were sleeping in Galveston.  He wants them to understand that the fate of the Gentile Children of Truth is tied to the fate of the Jewish people through the eternal covenant that He made with Abraham.   It was by studying out what the Father of Truth had said in the Word of Truth about the future, that lead Sir Isaac Newton to be inspired to action by the greatest Zionist ever.

Sir Isaac Newton, believing what was written in the Book of Truth, worked his way backwards from the Return, to come up with as close of a timeline as possible, of what would occur between his time and the Return.  In doing, so he made many predictions that have come to pass, like men would build flying vehicles of some sort that would go hundreds of miles per hour, and that there would be a tremendous growth in global population that would start around 1800.  (Voltaire ridiculed him mercilessly for the prediction about men traveling in vehicles going hundreds of miles per hour.  Voltaire held the common belief that the heads of people would explode if they went faster than about 35 miles per hour - the speed of a running horse.)  His timeline used the day that Israel became a nation again, as the event that would mark the first day of the generation, who would not die off before the return of the Man of Truth, to rule the Earth.  His timeline showed Israel as becoming a state in 1944, and the Return occurring 2060.  He was four years early in his time line concerning when Israel became a state (May 14, 1948 was the actual date), so the Return would occur in 2064 if he is off by the same amount in his estimate for that event.  This means that a mid-trib Rapture would not occur until about 2061 - more than 45 years from now.  If that is the case, then "Tribulation Survival Gear" benefits no one except those who are selling it and the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil).

The real purpose of the Father of Lies in getting the Children of Truth to buy "Tribulation Survival Gear" is to keep them from spending their time, talents and treasure carrying out the instructions of the Man of Truth.  It is carrying out the instructions of the Man of Truth that makes them worthy to escape the Tribulation through the Rapture.  Getting the Children of Truth focused on surviving the Tribulation, is a double win for the Father of Lies, because not only is he preventing them from being taken up in the Rapture, but he is also preventing them from completing the mission the Man of Truth gave them.  He knows that the Tribulation cannot come, until the Children of Truth have completed their mission, to bring the Good News to every ethnic group on Earth (Matthew 24:14).

The truth is that when the Man of Truth calls people into the House of Truth, he is calling them to die.  He warned the Apostles of Truth that some of them would be killed, and even crucified, as happened to the Prophets of Truth and himself (Matthew 23:34-35).  He said that the Children of Truth would be killed by the Children of Lies until he returns (Luke 21:12-16).  He demonstrated love when he laid down his life for us, so that we could live forever with him in the House of Truth (John 10:14-16).  He has in like manner, called us to lay down our lives, so others can live forever with him in the House of Truth (1 John 3:16).

It is by losing our lives, to carry out his instructions to bring the Gospel to all people, that causes us to gain eternal life with him (Mark 8:35).  We are not supposed to be seeking survival, but rather looking to die in carrying out our mission (Acts 20:24).  The Man of Truth has called us to suffer with him, so we can reign with him, instead of doing whatever takes to survive - like denying him (2 Timothy 2:10-12).

People cannot come into the House of Truth from unreached ethnic groups, unless missionaries reach them with the Good News, and missionaries cannot reach them, without the support of the rest of the Children of Truth (Romans 10:13-15).  We no longer belong to ourselves, since he bought with his own blood, so neither does our stuff (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).  We are supposed to use our time, talents and treasures to show his love to others, by doing things like caring for the poor (1 John 3:17-18).

We are not supposed to be diverting our time, talents and treasures from helping the poor, and supporting missionaries, to getting ready for the Tribulation, because our survival is not our primary concern.  If we put our treasure into "Tribulation Survival Gear" that we hide in some cave, then our hearts will be buried in that cave as well, instead of being in Heaven, when we put our treasure into carrying out the instructions of the Man of Truth (Matthew 6:19-21).  The Man of Truth said that though we die for his cause, that our lives will be safe with him (Luke 21:16-19).  So whether we invest our time, talents, and treasures, into caring for the poor, and supporting missionaries, OR stockpiling "Tribulation Survival Gear", is really a matter of whether or not, we have faith in the Man of Truth to do what he has promised (James 2:14-18).

There is no reason to purchase "Tribulation Survival Gear", when you have no guarantee that you will survive until the Tribulation.  However, unless you are part of the Rapture, you can be sure that you will die.  You are not guaranteed tomorrow, or even the rest of this day (James 4:14).

Since you do not know when your heart will stop beating, then you need to repent of rebelling against the Father of Truth, right now, and come into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 6:1-2).  If you have already came into the House of Truth, but have been getting ready for the Tribulation instead of getting ready for the Rapture, by diverting what belongs to the Man of Truth for carrying out his instructions to purchase "Tribulation Survival Gear", then now is the time for you to repent, and get back to doing what he commanded, because he will forgive you, if you will confess that you have done wrong (1 John 1:8-10).  The Man of Truth is saying, "People get ready!".

You can come into the House of Truth today by putting the Man of Truth in control of your time, talents, and treasures, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  After all the Good News about the Man of Truth, is for every ethnic group on Earth, so you are invited to come into the House of Truth, rather you are a Jew or a Gentile (Romans 10:11-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

Another Gospel

How can you tell if someone is preaching another Gospel?

It starts with an understanding of what a gospel is.  The word "gospel" means "good news".  A gospel would be the good news that is preached.  A gospel is defined by the collection of writings that tell what that good news is.

The Gospel of the Book of Truth (The Bible) is defined by the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) and the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) that tell the Good News about the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

Some preach another Gospel by adding other books to the Book of Truth.

For example, Mormons add "another testimony of the Man of Truth" in the Book of Mormon to the two testimonies of the Man of Truth in the Book of Truth to complete the Gospel that they preach.  This Gospel is not the same Gospel that comes from using only the Book of Truth to define the Gospel.  The Mormons are preaching another Gospel.

However, the Book of Mormon is far from being the only example of a book that is outside of the Book of Truth, that people use to complete the Gospel that they preach.  There are all kinds of people, who tell others that they have found the missing books of the Bible, and then use those books to complete the Gospel that they preach.

For example, the False Church of Rome (and others) adds books from the Apocrypha, to the Book of Truth, to complete the Gospel that they preach.  They are preaching another Gospel.

In like manner, there are those who add Gentile books, like 1 Clements, that were written well after the last book of the Book of Truth was written, to complete the Gospel that they preach.  They are preaching another Gospel.

Also, there are those who add Jewish books, like the Talmud, or the Book of Enoch, or the Book of Jasher, to complete the Gospel that they preach.  They are adding Rabbinic Distort to the Book of Truth.  They are preaching another Gospel.

The writings of the Prophets of Truth, found in the Original Covenant, and the writings of the Apostles of Truth, found in the Renewed Covenant, are the only testimonies of the Man of Truth, that people can accept as truth, in order to come into the House of Truth (Ephesians 2:20-22).  The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) confirmed that the Man of Truth was His Son, with an audible voice on the Mount of Transfiguration, to confirm that the Apostles of Truth, were not being deceived by following cleverly told lies (2 Peter 1:16-18).  Yet the Book of Truth, is a more sure word of prophecy, than standing on the Mount of Transfiguration, and hearing the audible voice of the Father of Truth, because the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) moved directly upon men when they wrote it (2 Peter 1:19-21).  The Man of Truth ends the Book of Truth, by saying that there is nothing more to be revealed, and anyone who adds anything to the Book of Truth, will suffer the wrath of His Father (Revelation 22:16-18).

Anyone who adds any other book to the Book of Truth to define the Good News is preaching another Gospel. 

Another way that people preach another Gospel is by removing books from the Book of Truth.  They assert that there are books in the Original Covenant or the Renewed Covenant that do not belong in the Book of Truth.  Of course, they say those books should be removed from the Book of Truth.  The Gospel they preached is defined by their own edited version of the Book of Truth.

There have been a few people, like Marcion of Sinope, who actually removed the entire Original Covenant, and most of the books of the Renewed Covenant, from the Book of Truth to form his own version.  His own version contained nothing except his own version of the Gospel of Luke and his own edited versions of ten of the books written by Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul).  There have been many others who tried to get various books removed from the Book of Truth as well.  For example. Martin Luther tried to get five books removed from the Book of Truth, because those books contradicted his doctrine.  Both Marcion of Sinope and Martin Luther were preaching another Gospel.

The Father of Truth said, that no one is to change His Word by removing any part of it (Deuteronomy 4:2).  The Father of Truth said, that no one is to remove anything from His commandments (Deuteronomy 12:32).  The Man of Truth said, that he in no shape, form or fashion, came to take anything away from what was written in the Original Covenant, nor to teach anyone to not keep even the least important commandment in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Matthew 5:17-19).  The Man of Truth said, that His Father would take away the name of anyone from the Book of Life, and take away their place in the New Jerusalem, who removed any part of the Book of Truth (Revelation 22:19-21).

Anyone who removes any book from the Book of Truth to define the Good News is preaching another Gospel. 

There are yet others who do not try to add books to the Book of Truth or remove books from the Book of Truth, but instead try to replace passages of the Book of Truth in various ways, that they say have been corrupted in some manner.

The Father of Truth performs what He says because He keeps His promises (Deuteronomy 9:5).  He promises to perform His Word when people obey His Word (1 Kings 6:12).  He arranges circumstances so that His Word is performed (2 Chronicles 10:15).  He made the universe and preserves it, so He is certainly able to preserve and perform His Word, to show forth His righteousness (Nehemiah 9:6-8).

People come and go like the grass, but He preserves His Word forever (Isaiah 40:6-8).  The Father of Truth is stronger than anyone who has ever sought to corrupt the Book of Truth, that contains His Word (1 Corinthians 1:25).  The Renewed Covenant is incorruptible, because it came from the Spirit of Truth, and has caused people to born again throughout all ages, since it can never become corrupted by mere men (1 Peter 1:22-25).

The Book of Truth is not corrupted in any manner whatsoever, because the Father of Truth is greater than those who have sought to corrupt it, many times over the centuries.  The Book of Truth contains The Incorruptible Word

Those who claim the Book of Truth has been corrupted are preaching another Gospel.

There are other, more insidious, ways that people preach another Gospel.

They do not preach another Gospel by openly adding another book to the Book of Truth.  Instead they add things found in the contents of other books, to the contents of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach.  The Gospel that they preach is defined by the contents of the Book of Truth, plus content from other sources.

Mind you, I am not talking about someone referring to the contents of support materials to gain a better understanding, or to make the meaning clearer to other people. I am not talking about referring to collaborating materials, like the writings of Josephus, to support what the Book of Truth says, for even the Book of Truth makes references to collaborating materials, like "The Book of The Chronicles of the Kings of the Media and Persia" (Esther 10:2).  I am also not talking about using a culturally relevant expression, or event, to get a point across, for even the Man of Truth did that when he confronted Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-5).   I am not talking about things like a concordance, to help them provide a better understand a passage of the Book of Truth in its original language, because we are supposed to study these things out so we can understand the Book of Truth correctly (2 Timothy 2:15).   I'm talking about people adding in ideas, from other sources, to the contents of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach.

For example, adding in ideas taken from psychology, the New Age, and Greek philosophy to shape their view of the contents of the Book of Truth.  We are told to avoid the wisdom of this world (1 Corinthians 3:18-20).  (Philosophy means "love of wisdom" and Greek philosophy is the love of the wisdom of this world.)  We are told to avoid the very same vain philosophies that modern psychology arrives from (Colossians 2:8).  We are told to give no credence to any so-called "science" that contradicts the Book of Truth in any form or fashion (1 Timothy 6:20-21).  We are told to avoid the same "enlightened knowledge" of the New Age that groups like the Nicolaitanes and other Gnostics (Gnostic literally means "enlightened with knowledge") taught (Revelation 2:15).

The Book of Truth is always right and anything that disagrees with the Book of Truth is simply wrong.  We are supposed to renew our minds to line up with the contents of the Book of Truth, instead of trying to line up the contents of the Book of Truth with whatever the current trend is (Romans 12:2).  We are supposed to stand against everything that would exalt itself against the Book of Truth, and tear down every idea that would create a stronghold in our minds against the contents of the Book of Truth (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).  The Book of Truth, with nothing added, keeps us from being blown around by every wind of doctrine that is popular at the time (Ephesians 4:14).  We are supposed to live differently than the rest of the world, because our minds have been renewed by the Book of Truth (Ephesians 4:22-24). 

Anyone who adds ideas from outside of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

Similarly, most of those who preach another Gospel by removing parts of the Book of Truth, are far more subtle than Marcion of Sinope or Martin Luther.  They effectively remove parts of the Book of Truth by purposely neglecting to teach the parts of the Book of Truth that disagree with their doctrine. Some even go so far as to attack those who study those parts of the Book of Truth, because doing so leads people away from blindly following another Gospel, that they are preaching.

For example, Rick Warren attacked those who study the prophecies found in the Book of Truth in his book, "The Purpose Driven Life" (Pages 285-286).  He said anyone who studied such prophecies was not fit for the Kingdom of the Father of Truth.  Since prophecy accounts for more than one quarter of the Book of Truth, including many of the words spoken directly by the Man of Truth, then he is saying that anyone who studies the words of the Man of Truth, is not fit for the Kingdom of the Father of Truth.  Can there be any doubt that anyone who attacks studying the very words of the Man of Truth, found in the Book of Truth, is preaching another Gospel?

The Father of Truth expressly commanded, that no one was to remove the unfulfilled prophecies that were given through the Prophets of Truth, because they were given to cause people to repent of their sin, and be saved from His wrath (Jeremiah 26:2-3).  The Man of Truth said, that we should watch for the signs of the end times that he warned about, so we could be worthy to escape the tribulation that would come upon the entire Earth (Luke 21:34-36).  The entirety of the Good News relies on the unfulfilled prophecy, that the Children of Truth shall rise from the dead, to be with the Man of Truth when he comes for them (1 Corinthians 15:19-23).  The Children of Truth are able to endure suffering for the Man of Truth, because of the unfulfilled prophecy, that those who do so, will also reign over the Earth with the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 2:10-12).  The Man of Truth says, that those who read and study the Revelation, that His Father gave him to give to John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John), are the ones who are fit for his kingdom (Revelation 1:1-3).

There are still yet others, who effectively remove part of the Book of Truth, by teaching that people can be saved, by keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth.  Some even say, that the Gentiles must keep every commandment of the Law of Truth, to be saved.  Some have even went to so far as to say, that Jews who do not accept the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, are still saved, if they keep the commandments of the Law of Truth.

The Father of Truth told the Jewish people, in the Law of Truth, that he would raise up the Man of Truth, and put His Word in his mouth, so that everyone was required to do whatever he said (Deuteronomy 18:17-19).  The Man of Truth said, that he is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and there is no other means of being right with His Father, other than going through him (John 14:6).  The Apostles of Truth told the Jews of Israel, that whoever would not accept the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, that was foretold in the Law of Truth, would be destroyed, as witnessed by all of the Prophets of Truth (Acts 3:22-24).  Stephen, the Martyr of Truth said, rejecting the Man of Truth as the Messiah that Moses spoke of, is no different than rejecting the Law of Truth, that Moses wrote down (Acts 7:37-39).  Even those who are born Jewish, cannot be justified by doing what the Law of Truth says, because justification only comes by accepting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, who Moses spoke about in the Law of Truth (Galatians 2:15-16).

When some of the Children of Truth, who were raised in the traditions of the Mishnah, said that the Gentiles had to be circumcised, and observe the entire Law of Truth to be saved, then Peter the Jew, the Apostle of Truth, answered that both Jews and Gentiles are saved by faith in the Man of Truth, because neither is capable of keeping the Law of Truth (Acts 15:5-11).  James the Jew (Ya'acob the brother of the Man of Truth), the Apostle of Truth, said that his judgment was, that the Gentiles did not have to observe everything in the Law of Truth, to come into the House of Truth, but only certain bare requirements, with the opportunity to learn more from the Law of Truth later (Acts 15:19-21).  The Apostles of Truth then wrote a letter, stating that they gave no such commandment that Gentiles had to be circumcised, and keep the entire Law of Truth, to be saved (Acts 15:23-24).  The Spirit of Truth also witnessed, that the Gentiles only need to keep these bare requirements, from the Law of Truth, in order to come into the House of Truth (Acts 15:28-29).  While Paul the Jew and the other Apostles of Truth still observed everything in the Law of Truth, the Gentiles only had to keep these bare minimum requirements of the Law of Truth, to remain in the House of Truth (Acts 21:24-25).

The Law of Truth was not meant to bring justification, but rather condemnation, so that people would come to the Man of Truth for redemption (Romans 3:20-24).  The blood of the Man of Truth brings justification, to those who place their faith in him, without observing every single commandment of the Law of Truth (Romans 3:25-28).  The Man of Truth died, so the Spirit of Truth could live in people, to enable them to keep the righteous requirements of the Law of Truth, which people are powerless to do, in their own strength (Romans 8:2-4).  Whoever tries to be justified by doing what is in the Law of Truth, rejects the grace of the Father of Truth, that He showed in having the Man of Truth die in their place (Galatians 2:21).  Whoever gets circumcised, or otherwise tries to keep every little detail of the Law of Truth, to be justified, has fallen from the grace, that the Father of Truth gives to those, who put their trust in the what the Man of Truth did (Galatians 5:2-4).  The Law of Truth made no one holy enough to be in the House of Truth, but the better hope of trusting in what the Man of Truth did on their behalf, made them holy enough (Hebrews 7:19).

The entire reason that the Law of Truth was ever given to the Jewish people was to bring about the salvation of the Gentiles through them because it has always been about the Gentiles.  The only way that the Jews could ever fulfill their calling, to show the Gentiles how to live in a manner that is pleasing to the Father of Truth, is by accepting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel.  The Man of Truth makes it possible for Jews to keep the Law of Truth in the way that His Father had always intended.

So those who teach, that Gentiles must keep every commandment of the Law of Truth to be saved, or that Jews can be saved, without accepting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, by keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth, have removed the most important part of the Book of Truth. They have removed the justification, that comes from faith alone in what the Man of Truth did on the cross, from the Renewed Covenant.  They are preaching another Gospel.
So whoever literally removes or attempts to remove part of the Book of Truth is preaching another Gospel.  Whoever effectively removes part of the Book of Truth by purposely ignoring those parts that disagree with their doctrine is preaching another Gospel.  Whoever says that Gentiles must keep any requirement of the Law of Truth to come into the House of Truth, other than the bare minimum laid out by the Apostles of Truth, has removed their justification by faith in the Man of Truth from the Book of Truth, and is preaching another Gospel.  Whoever says that Jews can come into the House of Truth by keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth, while rejecting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, who the Law of Truth required everyone to accept, has removed the requirement that justification can only come from faith in the Man of Truth, and is preaching another Gospel.

Anyone who purposely neglects to study any part of the Book of Truth, steer others away any part of the Book of Truth, or purposely excludes any part of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

There is one more, subtle way, that people preach another Gospel.  They do not come right out and say that the contents of the Book of Truth are somehow corrupted.  Instead, they present a newer, "more accurate", translation of the Book of Truth, that changes the intent and meaning of the message of the Book of Truth.

For example, they create a supposed thought-for-thought translation, like The Message, that differs significantly in meaning and intent in some passages, from a word-for-word translation, like the King James version.  A careful comparison to the original language documents, show that the difference in their "new and improved" translation, is not even close to what it says in the original language documents.  This is not a case of human error, or the words of the translation changing meaning over time, or anything like that.  This is a case of willfully changing the meaning and intent in their translation to match their own doctrine, like in the case of the one disturbing sentence found in many thought-for-thought translations.
 
It is by knowing the words of the Father of Truth that we come to understand how to live (Deuteronomy 8:3).  The only thoughts of the Father of Truth that we can know are the ones that He has revealed in His Word so we can obey it (Deuteronomy 29:29).  We cannot know His thoughts any other way than by considering the words that He speaks (Isaiah 55:8-11).  It is by His Word that people come into the House of Truth (1 Peter 1:23).

The thoughts that occur in The Message, that contradict the words of the original language source documents, are not the thoughts of the Father of Truth, but rather the thoughts of Eugene Peterson.  Those who preach the Gospel found in a thought-for-thought translation, that contains thoughts which contradict the actual words found in the original language source documents, like The Message, are preaching another Gospel.

In like manner, others create a translation that supposedly reveals information that was previously lost in translation, by translating from source documents written in languages other than Hebrew or Greek.  They used these translations from what they claim are the "actual" original languages, to support doctrines that cannot be supported using the Hebrew or Greek composite documents, compiled from Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.

For example, they use an "Aramaic New Testament" to prove doctrines that are contrary, to what is written in the Greek codices and manuscripts.  The fact is that there is no evidence, even in the Syriac Peshitta, that the Renewed Covenant was originally written in any language other than Hebrew (for the Gospel of Matthew) or Greek (for the rest of it).  For example, Paul the Jew is plainly shown to be speaking in Greek (Acts 21:37).  Paul the Jew, is also plainly shown to be speaking in Hebrew ("Ebrais" in Greek) (Acts 21:39-40).  At no time, is he ever shown to be speaking in Aramaic ("Syriac" in Greek).  It is certain that most of the people who Paul the Jew wrote to, in places like Corinth, Thessaloniki and Philippi, were not able to read Aramaic, but were certainly able to read Greek.  Even in the Revelation, only Hebrew and Greek are used, but never Aramaic (Revelation 9:11).  There really is no room for doubt about the Original Language of the Renewed Covenant.

Those who preach a Gospel based on information found only in alternative language documents, which cannot be found in the Hebrew and Greek composite documents - that contain the words of the Book of Truth in the original languages - to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

So those who use thought-for-thought translations, that contain thoughts that are not in agreement with the actual words in the original language source documents, are preaching another Gospel.  Those who use translations based off of anything, other than the original language source documents written in Hebrew and Greek, are preaching another Gospel.

Anyone who uses any translation, other than one based on the actual words found in the original language source documents, to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

The bottom line is that everyone who preaches another Gospel, by either adding additional sources to form their doctrine, or removing in some manner any part of the Book of Truth that disagrees with their doctrine, or otherwise seeks to "correct" the contents of the Book of Truth to line up with their doctrine, does so because they believe that the Book of Truth is inadequate, or inaccurate, in some way.  They are ultimately saying, that the Father of Truth was not up to the task, of preserving His Word consistently throughout the ages, so that either material that belonged in it was somehow taken out, or material that did not belong in it was somehow inserted or some of the material was somehow changed.  Whoever preaches another Gospel, either has some sort of revelation, like Joseph Smith, where they find the missing books, that the Father of Truth was not able to keep in the Book of Truth, or like Martin Luther, they find the part of the Book of Truth, that the Father of Truth was not able to keep someone from inserting into the Book of Truth or like Eugene Peterson, they find the parts that were somehow changed to no longer reflect the thoughts of the Father of Truth.  This charge of the Father of Truth being incompetent, and allowing the Book of Truth to become corrupted, is a terrible insult to Him.

Paul the Jew warned against being deceived into accepting another Gospel that was in any way different than what he and the other Apostles of Truth preached (2 Corinthians 11:3-5).  He said another Gospel, other than the one found in the Book of Truth, is designed to take people out of the House of Truth, where the Man of Truth lives (Galatians 1:6).  He warned that anyone, who preaches anything other than what he preached, is perverting the Gospel found in the pages of the Book of Truth (Galatians 1:7).  He said that anyone, who preached anything different than what was found in the pages of the Book of Truth, that he had already preached to the church of Galatia, before he wrote his epistle to them in 54 AD, was under the curse of the Father of Truth (Galatians 1:9).

Do not be fooled by sincere sounding religious professionals. Every doctrine that comes from including everything in the Book of Truth is part of the Doctrine of Truth, while any doctrine that comes from either including another source, or excluding any part of the Book of Truth, or changing any part of the Book of Truth, is part of the Doctrine of Lies.  The entire Book of Truth was given by the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  The entire Book of Truth is the only source for forming sound doctrine (Titus 1:7-9).

The Gospel of the Man of Truth comes from preaching what is in the Book of Truth, the whole Book of Truth and nothing but the Book of Truth.  Any Gospel that comes from preaching anything else is another Gospel.

So do not be kept out of the House of Truth, by someone preaching another Gospel, that was given by another spirit, and that tells about another "Jesus".  All that is required for you to come into the House of Truth, is to believe the Gospel that the Man of Truth preached, and repent of your sins (Mark 1:14-15).  This is the same Gospel that Paul the Jew preached, that is able to make both Jews and Gentiles righteous, by faith in the Man of Truth (Romans 1:16-17).  Anyone who will surrender control of their life to the Man of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-10).  Coming into the House of Truth, is as simple as hearing what the Word of Truth, that is in the Book of Truth, says and believing it (Romans 10:15-17).  Do not be robbed of the simplicity, of coming to the House of Truth through faith in the Man of Truth, by paying attention to anyone who is preaching another Gospel, built upon another "Jesus", that was given by another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:2-4).  Do not accept any tradition that you may have inherited, that contradicts the Book of Truth, because you come into the House of Truth, solely by putting your trust in the blood that the Man of Truth shed, before his Father raised him from the dead, so that your hope is in the Father of Truth, instead of another Gospel (1 Peter 1:18-21).

Come into the House of Truth!
