God's  First  Witness'  Public  Work  Began   

Dear Friend,

Jesus'  public ministry or work began, "when Jesus had heard that John (the Baptist) was cast into prison" Mat.4:12.  Jesus prepared for His work with a 40 day fast.  The public   "work"   of Jesus started in Nazareth, on the Sabbath day, where He grew up Lk.4:16.  His neighbors wanted to kill Him, after His sermon, so  "He departed to Galilee"  Mat.4:12.  

Now, at the End of the World Mat.24:3,  after God's   Two  Witnesses   Rev.11 :3 First Witness has finished  the  "restoration"  Mat.17:11 of the "mystery of God," given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3,  but  "hidden" until the very end of the world Rev.10:7,  this First  Witness finished his  "private"  work.  The  "public"  work of this Witness began when God's mystery, was preached in a funeral on March 4, 2006, to the public.

Christians who believe and practice Jesus' teachings were warned that at the "End of the World,"  God will   "WORK   in our days,  a   work   which we shall in no wise believe, though   A   MAN  declare it to us"   Acts.13:41.  Since we are told that the  "whole world is deceived"  Rev.12:9, or every one of us at the End of the World, we know that this   MAN   must be one of  God's   "Two  Witnesses,"  whose function is to  "restore"   the truth to us as it was prophesied before Christ's  second coming Mat.17:11.  

This truth is confirmed to us, by Jesus saying that at the end of the world, we all will be like the people in Noah's day,  when  all  the people and  all  the religions of the world were   "deceived,"   accept Noah Mat.24:37.  Now, this is very difficult for Christians and others to accept,  because they are  "deceived" that they have God's   "holy  spirit,"   and the   "knowledge of God's salvation"  Lk.1:77.  If  they are God's children having God's holy spirit  and the truth of salvation,  they   DON'T  NEED  God's Two Witnesses, or the holy spirit or their message.  Christians can't believe that they are  "deceived."  This blinds them to the need and the functions of God's   Two Witnesses,   fulfilling God's words in  Acts.13:41.  

The  Two Witnesses  then to the  "many"  Christians are false preachers according to  Mat.7:13 , as the Apostles were to the Jews, after Christ ascended to heaven.  These  Witnesses  will be  false Prophets  to the Christians, as Apostle Paul was to the followers of the Twelve Apostles, when he started to preach the  "Mystery of God"  Eph.3:3.  Paul separated his gospel the  "mystery"  from the gospel of the Twelve Apostles, by calling his  "MY  GOSPEL"   Rom .2:16;  1Tim.1:11;  2Tim.2:8;  2Thes.2:14.  Paul had to separate and identify his gospel from the Twelve Apostles, because Christ  advanced some of the  Christians to a  "higher"   law,  religion and kingdom, using Paul's gospel.  Our Creator again advanced a  "few"  from the "many"  Christians Mat.7:14 to receive more truth.  This progressive revelation of truth is explained in the previous article.  

This is how our Creator, whom Paul identified as Jesus our Christ Eph.3:9, is able to control whom He is  "calling"  and whom He is not, in this age, or "dispensation" Eph.1:9-10.  "No   MAN    can come to me,  except the  Father which has sent me  'draw'  him"  Jn.6:44.  The  "many"  Christians are not called or  "drawn" in this age Mat.7:13, only a   "few"  are Mat.7:14, who are chosen to be   "witnesses"  by our Father in heaven Acts.10:41.

This makes the Anti-god's    "work,"   who is the  "god of this world"  2Cor.4:4 easy, to further  "deceive"  the world and the Christians, that he is the  "christ," when he will be the Anti-christ, the Bible calls the Beast Rev.11:7. This is why "ALL   that dwell upon the earth shall   worship   him, whose names are not written in the   book of life"  in this age Rev.13:8.  The   "many"  Christians and the people of the world, just like the people in Noah's day, will be called and converted in God's future   "ages  to  come"   Eph.2:7.  God loves them too, and will call them,  but  God has an  "order"  how He  calls us to be born into  His family ICor.15:23, called the Godhead Acts.17:29; Rom.1:20; Col.2:9.

What is the Public Work of God's First Witness?

Jesus promised that His  "gospel  of  the  kingdom'   shall be preached in all the world for a  'witness,'  unto   all nations;  and then shall the  end  come" of the world  Mat.24:14.  This is the function of the First Witness and his  followers, who will be the   "Great  Multitude"  Rev.7:9.

We must realize that the churches  CAN'T  do this  "work,"  because it is given to God's First Witness Acts.13:41. The Christian churches can't do this work, because they don't know the difference between Christ's our Creator's laws, religions and kingdoms, and the Anti-god's.  Why?  They can't because they are  "deceived"  to do things the Anti-god's way Prov.16:12. 

The Christians don't know, being deceived that  "God's way" is a way of love, where love is defined by   LAW,   that we may not  "SIN" against our fellow man.  Sin is defined as the  "transgression of law"  IJn.3:4.  God's love is sacrificial Jn.15:13.  Christians are   required   to love others, by willing to "sacrifice" our physical life, to find eternal life Mat.16:25.  God's system is based on  LOVE, which is defined by  LAW,  requiring us to  SACRIFICE.  This is why  "God's way"  of salvation is the "difficult and the narrow road" Mat.7:14.

The  "many" or the  "deceived"  Christian churches follow the "Anti-god's way," which is based on the opposite of God's way, or   "lawlessness"   called   INIQUITY   Mat.7:23,  and    GRACE   where sacrifice is  not  needed.  This makes the "many"  Christian  churches salvation an easy salvation Mat.7:13, and the Anti-god's. This is why what ever our Creator requires us to do, the churches do the opposite.  This is why to the members of the Christian churches the  "truth"  is a  "stumbling block"  and a  "rock of offence"  IPet.2:8.

This is why Jesus said that  "No   MAN    can come to me,  except the  Father which has sent me  'draw'  him"  Jn.6:44.  To help us to see our  deception Christ had to  reveal  to Apostle John that we must  "come out"  of this world and its religions, legally and financially, not to receive its "plagues" Rev.18:4. We can't serve two masters, our Creator and His Anti-god Mat.6:24. 

This tells us that God's First Witness will   DIVIDE  the Christians into God's three kingdoms;   the  "kingdom of the flesh,"   based on the laws and religion of the Old Testament,   and the   "Kingdom of Heaven,"    based on the  "higher" and more advanced   "laws of faith"  Rom.3:27, and the religion of Jesus and the four gospels,   and the  "highest"  and newest    "Kingdom of the Godhead"   based on the  "laws of the spirit"  Rom.8:2 and its religion  of God's mystery.  The true Christians will be further divided into God's seven churches given in the book  of Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

The Anti-god will   UNITE  his Christians into   ONE   universal religion, blending the Old and New Testament religions,  and its laws and fables, as Paul called it.  Satan  want us to be   "AtOneMent"   with him, before our creation process, the "operation of God"  Col.1:12  is  finished  in us Lev.23:27. 

Our creation will be finished when we are  "made perfect  in (God's)  love" when we lose all of our fear IJn.4:18.  This will be when  "God will be all and in all"  ICor.15:28b. This will take place after  God's future   "ages"  Eph.2:7 have passed, and when the   "first heaven and the first earth  passed away;  (in which we are living now)  and there was no more sea,"   when the   "new heaven and new earth"   will be formed Rev.21:1, and the new Jerusalem came down from heaven V.2. 

How is God's Work Done? 

God's Two Witnesses are like Elijah and John the Baptist Mat.17:10-13. The First Witness is like John the Baptist, working with the Christians.  God's Second Witness will work with Israel and its twelve tribes. These Witnesses or Prophets will fulfill Mat.24:14 by preaching the coming Kingdom of Heaven,  as Jesus did Mat.4:17. 

The First Witness will demand that people be  re-baptized  Jn.1:26 into one of God's seven churches of Revelation, to receive the "earnest" of God's  "holy spirit"  to be "sealed" by God for His protection 2Cor.1:22.  To be baptized you must bring forth evidence  of  your  "repentance,"  from your   sins   for serving the Anti-god,  - "fruits meet for repentance"  as John the Baptist required Mat.3:8.  After this you as a  Christians must  "grow  in grace and knowledge"  of God IPet.3:18, by  "perfecting"  your love Lk.13:32; IJn.4:12, by  "enduring" your  trials Mat.24:13, until you are  "made perfect in love"  IJn.4:18. This will be when you  "born again"  Jn.3:3 at the resurrection to eternal life, at Christ's second coming, or in the coming future resurrections ICor.15:52.  Some of us will be in the resurrection without dying IThes.4:17.

What are the qualifications to be in the  "better,"  first resurrection Heb.11:35?

Christ asked us to  "come out"  of this world religiously, legally and financially that we may not receive the devastating  "plagues"  which  will come upon the  earth Rev.18:4.  Before you are baptized, you  need to be a "disciple of Christ."  This also has qualifications, and requirements which  you  find in Lk.14:26, 27, 33.  We need to be willing to   LOVE   our Creator more than any of our close relatives, parents, wife / husband, children and ourselves.  We must  "count the cost"  before we can be a   "Disciple of Christ."   We must be willing to "forsahake all that we have" and set up our life to be  free  from the burdens and  "entanglements" of this world religiously, legally and financially.  You have to follow a legal and financial  method  to do this as Paul instructed us 2Tim.2:4.

You individually must   "come out"  Rev.18:4 of  "this world"  Jn.14:30 of the Anti-god Rev.18:4, as Noah from his society and Israel did from Egypt, of their oppression, and slavery. You must set up God's Kingdom of Heaven Mat.6: 33  and its Embassy legally as your Home Ekklesia, that you may be an Ambassador of God 2Cor.5:20 to this world. 

Only in God's Embassy can you practice God's law, religion and have his kingdom, because  "God's way," is removed from this world now, and we only have a "ONE  WAY"  of   "ONLY EVIL"  of the Anti-god. In the world you must do all things the  "world's way"  which is the  "way of death"  Jer.21:8. 

Now you see that to do all this, it  needs time to re-educate yourself, and you must also follow through with your   "sacrifice"  of coming out of this system of the Anti-god, and enter into God's system or kingdom. This also takes time. So if God is calling you, you see that it is our Father who  "draws you,"  but you also have a big part to play in your   SALVATION   process Col.2:12.  This is why Apostle Paul said:  to  "work  out  your  own  salvation  with fear and trembling"  Phil.2:12.  This is why God's  SALVATION  is the narrow and difficult road and it is allowed to be found by a  "few"  Mat.7:14 in this age, or "dispensation" Eph.1:9-10, and not to the "many"  Mat.7:13. 

This tells you, that God has  "revealed"  to you His true salvation. You have found the  "work"  of God's First Witness, by the infinite wisdom and mercy of our Creator.  If you are a Christian who is not called at this time, the whole idea what you just have read is just a  nonsense,  and   foolishness  as Apostle Paul tells us ICor.2:14. 

How Long is God's Work? 

We read in Revelation 11 and verse 1. "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and  MEASURE  the Temple of God, and the altar, and  them  that worship therein ....  And I will give  POWER unto my  Two Witnesses  and they shall prophecy for a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth" V.3.

This tells us that these  Two  Witnesses  are given only three and a half years (3.5 years)  to prophecy,  and to   "measure"  or build the Temple of God. The First Witness builds the  spiritual  Temple of God,  who are you  ICor.3:16.  The Second Witness will build God's   physical Temple,  to set up God's Old Testament   laws, religion and its Temple worship with its sacrifices that the Old Testament   "kingdom of God"  may be established. 

Only after the physical Temple is built and the  Two Witnesses   killed Rev.11 :7 can the Anti-christ, the Beast sit in the Temple as God, "and pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice" Dan.11:31.  Apostle Paul is telling us that when  "the Day of Christ"  is at hand, there will be a   "falling away"   from the truth, then the   "MAN  of  SIN   be revealed, the son of perdition" ... who as God sit in the Temple of God, showing himself that he is God"  2Thes.2:2-4, to deceive those whose names are not in the "book of life"  that he is the Christ. 

Since God's First Witnesses message was publicly preached on Saturday on  March 4, 2006, it tells us we have very little time.  We don't know how to count the three and a half years of these Witnesses.  Can we count it from the first  Whiteness' work or from the second.  It does not matter, because the time is very short.  Will our Creator give us more time, or will He shorten the time as He indicated He will do for the "elects sake" or no flesh would be saved Mat.24:22.

To you who read this article it is   DECISION   time, like it was for the king of Babylon, when God's handwriting was on the wall Dan.5:5. God's deepest secret, His "mystery" which was "hidden"  since the foundation of the world was made Mat.13:35, was and is  "revealed"  to you.   This is your confirmation that our Creator Christ is "drawing" you, to be one of His  "witnesses"  Acts.10:41, that you may be one of His   "Elect"   Mat.24:22, to be in the  "better"  resurrection Heb.11:35, at His second coming. 

I pray that you will  "accept"  God's greatest gift,  eternal life, founded on the sacrifice of His first begotten Son, Jesus our Christ!  Yes, you will suffer to obey God, but we are comforted by Apostle Paul saying:  "If we suffer, we shall also reigh with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us"  2Tim.2:12.

May Christ   bless,  Protect  and   SAVE  you into one of His coming Kingdoms, according to your willingness to respond to our Creator's invitation.

In the reality of Christ's eternal love, 

your friend and brother,
