The Work of God's First Witness # 29

The  First  Witnesses'  Work

February 27, 2005

God's  Promise  to do a  Work  Among  Us

Dear Friend,

We are told that at the  "End of the World"  Mat.24:3, God is going to do a   "WORK   in our days, which we shall no wise believe, though   A  MAN   declare it to us"   Acts.13:41.  We know that this  MAN  is one of God's  Two Witnesses  Rev.11:3, because we are so  "deceived"   that we don't have the truth, for we are as the people in Noah's day Mat.24:37, who did not have the truth. This is why this  M AN has to  "restore"  God's truth to us Mat.17:11, to help us  "choose"  between  "good and evil."

This is why the  First Witness'  work, is not so much to evangelize, and "convert" people to the truth, but to study, pray and meditate that God could "reveal" His truth to us.  This is why this  MAN  is  "given"  Lk.8:10 God's  "mystery"  that he may through faith proclaim,  "things not seen"  like Noah Heb.11:7,  "warned by God,"  to help God's  "firstfruits"  Rev.14:4, to prepare to be   "ready"   Mat.25:10 to  "enter"  God's Kingdom of Heaven on earth, our Home Ekklesias Mat.6:33.  This is needed, as is a sacrifice, to  "come out"  of this world Rev.18:5, qualifying us to   "FLEE"   to God's  "Place of Safety"   in the Jerusalem / Israel, and from there "FLEE" to the  "wilderness"  Rev.12:6 of Moab Isa.16:4.

This is why God is giving this  MAN,  the  "KEYS  of the kingdom of heaven"  Mat.16:19, the  "KEY  of David"  Rev. 3:7 that what he shall  "bind"  on earth is  "bound in heaven,"  and what he shall  "loose  on earth shall be  loosed  in heaven"  Mat.16:19. What this man  "opens"   no man can shut, or what he  "shuts"  no man can open.  This will be in the spiritual realm, for in this world, God is giving him   "little strength"   Rev.3:8, for to the true Christians  "It is the   SPIRIT   that quickeneth; the   FLESH   profits nothing" Jn.6:63.

God's  Second Witness  will have great physical power, like the Beast to dispense  "plagues"  to  "devour their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he  MUST  in this manner be  KILLED"  Rev.11:5.  Like Elijah this man will have power to  "shut heaven,  that it rain not"  V.6 for   "three and a half years"   V.3.  This great Prophet will  "smite the earth with plagues"  like  "turning water into blood,"  and other   "plagues,   as often as they will"  V.6.

The First Witness'  "work"  is to identify God's  three laws  which we have forgotten, and to set up, Christ's  three religions  and His  three Kingdom,  in preparation before Christ's coming, among God's three groups of His children.  This is what Joseph, Moses, Daniel and some of the Prophets: Jeremiah, Ezra of the Old Testament, and Jesus and Paul did in the New Testament.

The  First Witness  restores the truth to the Christians, God's  "Firstfruits"  Rev.14:4, and to God's  "Elect"   Mat.24:22.  These Christians are willing to   "come out"   of this world Rev.18:4 of the Anti-god.  The  Second Witness   will restore the truth to God's Old Testament church Israel and the Gentiles.

We know that Christ's second coming will be as the  "days of Noah were,"  where only  ONE  man knew and  "obeyed"  God Mat.24:37.  We also read in Revelation that there will be the   "144,000 from Israel,"   and also the   "Great Multitude"   from the Gentiles who will be  "obeying"  God Rev.7:4,9, because of these Two Witnesses.   Is it possible that Christianity is  "deceived"  as the Bible tells us  Mat.24:37; Rev.12:9?  Why is God telling us that only  "one man"  will do His work, when He also promised to send the  Two Witnesses,  and their followers?

To know the answer to this enigma, you need to know God's  "mystery"  Eph.3:3, why God   "hides"   the truth from the  "many"  Mat.7:14, and why He   "ALIENATES"   them from Him Eph.4:18, that He may   "RECONCILIATE"   them to Him 2Cor.5:18 later, in God's future  "dispensations"  or ages Eph.1:9-10.  See the article the Ages of Salvation.

The  First Witness  has a  "private work,"  to work with the angels of God, and also to restore the truth to God's  "Elect,"  God's  "mystery"  Eph.3:3 that when the Elects are called out from God's  "firstfruits"  Rev.14:4, they may receive God's  "highest gospel,"  His mystery, to be in the resurrection without dying IThes.4:17.  After this private work, comes the First Witness'  "public work."  This is to God's  "Firstfruits,"   who are the believers of Jesus, the  "son of man"   Mat.12:8, and the four New Testament gospels, given to the twelve Apostles, before Jesus became our Christ.   Apostle Paul later was given  "another gospel"  Gal.1:8, 9; 2Cor.11:4, the  "mystery"  Eph.3:3.  This is why Paul's Epistles are much  "higher"  in spiritual content than the four gospels, originally given to the twelve Apostles.

The  First Witnesses'  "work"  is divided into two segments, as Jesus' was.  Jesus had a  "lower"  ministry and  "gospel"   or  "work,"  first to His  "carnal disciples,"  before they received God's  "holy spirit"  on Pentecost day.  This was Jesus'   "public work."   Later, after Jesus' resurrection He had a  "higher,"  second  "work,"  which was a   "private work"   through Apostle Paul.  We see that Paul was given  "another gospel"  Gal.1:8,9,11 which was  "higher"  than what was given first to the twelve Apostles originally.

The difference,  "the way"  Christ is working with His children now, is the order He is working with us, through His Two Witnesses.  Now, at the  End of the World,  God is giving the  "highest"  spiritual work first, and the physical or  "lower"  gospel second with the First witness.  Yet God's   Second Witness   will come first, to be recognized by the world first.  The Second Witness  "restores"  the  "lowest"  physical gospel of the Old Testament first,  after  God's  First Witness  finished his   "private work."   The First Witness and the Second Witness' work is similar how John the Baptist finished his  "work"  first Mat.4:12, before Jesus started His  "work"  to preach Mk.1:14.  Jesus told Mary that the time to start His "work" has not yet arrived at Cana Jn.2:4.   John was not yet put in prison  Jn.3:24.

The  First  Witness  Sound  the  Midnight  Cry Mat.25:6

God complicated the function of His first Two Witnesses; John the Baptist and Jesus.  God   "hidden"   the identity of John the Baptist, and so did Christ's as He did the truth before  Deut.32:20; Prov.25:2; Mat.13:25; Lk.10:21; 18:21; Jn.16:12.  John was not accepted as a Prophet of God, by the official church of Israel.  This is why when the Pharisees tempted Jesus, He asked them:   "was John a Prophet of God?"   Since they did not accept John, as God's Prophet, they could not answer Jesus  Mat. 21:25-27.  The personage of Christ was also  "hidden"  by God in Jesus.  The Pharisees could not find in Jesus the Christ.  This is why the Pharisees were hounding Jesus: and asked  "how long do you make us to doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly"   Jn.10:24.  Even at the very end they asked Jesus  "tell us whether you be the Christ, the Son of God"  Mat.26:63.

God is  "hiding"  again His  Two Witnesses.  This is why the churches can't recognize them.  Israel will not recognize the Second Witness, because he is described in the New Testament, and its book of Revelation, which Israel do not accept.  They will accept him as they did John the Baptist and Jesus.  The Christians will not recognize the  First Witness,  because they can't accept Jesus' gospel, because they  "rejected"  God's   LAWS.

These  Two Witnesses  bringing the truth will be a   "stone of stumbling"   to the Jews, and a   "rock of offence"   to the Christians IPet.2:8.  Neither the Jews or the Christians will or can accept God's Two Witnesses.  At the  End of the World,  the Jews and Christians repeat the mistakes committed in the Old and New Testament, as God's  "pre -ordained plan"  requires.

Yet God's  "Two Witnesses"  will sound the   "Midnight Cry"    of the Beast's coming Mat.25:6, telling us to  "come out"   of this world Rev.18:4 to be protected and saved from the Anti-god's  "plagues,"  by  "entering into"   God's Kingdom of Heaven  Mat.6:33, to keep God's  "laws,"  not the Anti-god's   "codes,"   and  SAVED  from the  "plagues"   of God, to stay alive and be in the Kingdom of God on earth or to be in the Resurrection.

How is the  First Witness  going to do his work?

He is not going to do it like the churches of  "deceived"   Christianity Rev.12:9.  God's Witness' work will not be done by a big organization, as neither John the Baptist's work, or Christ' work was done by the  "world's way"  Jer.21:8.

God is not using  money,  the way the world does.  God is using the  "sacrifice"  of His saints lives and resources.   To approach God a  "sacrifice"  was needed from the time of Cain and Abel Gen.4:1-5.  This is why we are told that God's  "work"  will not be done by  "might"  or by  "power"  Zech.4:6,   "miracles, signs and wonders,"   for in the New Testament the   "SPIRIT   that quickeneth; the   FLESH   profits nothing"  Jn.6:63.  The deceived Christian churches, specially the charismatic churches do not believe this.  This is why they can't  "recover themselves out of the  SNARE  of the Devil,"  who has  "taken them captive"  by his will to serve him 2Tim.2:26.

God is going to  "call"  people to whom He will give the   "earnest"   2Cor.1:22 of His  "holy spirit,"  to hear God's words given to His Two Witnesses.  If these  "humble"  themselves, or   FAST   to  "hear"  God's words, and accept God's  "mystery,"  according to the parable of the sower Mat.13, they will be  "chosen"  Mat.20:16, to be God's Firstfruits.

The Midnight Cry must be sounded, that the  "144,000 Israelites,"  and the  "Great Multitude"  Rev.7:4,9 can be called, to  "warn"  the world and to  "call"  God's Firstfruits.  These must be prepared for Christ's millennium kingdom to rule on earth, or to be in the resurrection to eternal life.

The  Baptism  of the  First  Fruits  of  God

Most Christians are un-aware that God has  three laws,    three religions,  and  three kingdoms,  or that Christ is Judging Christians by these three laws.  Christians should be aware that ultimately we   ALL   will be   "JUDGED"   by Paul's gospel, the  "mystery"  Rom.2:16.

To accept any of God's laws and religions, we must first   "count the cost"   Lk.14:28.  Are we willing to accept the  "conflict"  between God's system, based on   L-A-W-S,   and the Anti-god's system which is based on   LAWLESSNESS,   called  "iniquity"  Mat.7:23?  A Christian can't serve two masters Mat.6:24.

This is why before one can  "come out"  of this world of the Anti-god and its Christian churches Rev.18:4, to  "obey"  God, our Creator Eph.3:9, one must become a  "Disciple of Christ"  Lk.14:26,27,33.  A disciple is only a student of Christ and  "His ways,"  before one qualifies to be a baptized member, of one of Christ's seven churches given us in Revelation chapters two and three.  You intellectually must know the difference between God's system of laws, religions and kingdoms, and the Anti-god's lawlessness, religions and kingdoms.

Before you can be   "Baptized"   to be a  "Disciple"   of the true Christ, not the  "christ"  of the Christian churches, you must fulfill requirements.  Why?  The two Christ's are opposites.  One has  "long hair"  ICor. 11:14, and teach the   "mystery of iniquity"   gospel 2Thes.2:7, and the  "doctrines"  of the Pharisees Mat.16: 6,12, and  "grace"  without  "law,"  which   "SHUTS up  the  'Kingdom of Heaven'  against you"  Mat.23:13, or the resurrection.  The true Christ has  "short hair"  like the Romans in His day, and teach the   "Mystery of God's"    gospel Eph.1:9-10, given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3, and its doctrines based upon  L-A-W,  and  GRACE.

You also must  "Bring forth  FRUITS  meet for repentance"  Mat.3:8, as John the Baptist demanded.  You must show that you are willing to   "count the cost"   and willing to  "come out"  of this system of the Anti-god, religiously, legally and financially Rev.18:4, by using the methods, given us through the Two Witnesses Rev.11:3, as promised to us in ICor.10:13,  who live now at the  End of the World  ICor.10:11.  You must use the UCC method to  "come out"   of this world, to receive protection and you must use the None Profit None Stock private corporation set up, to   "enter into"   God's first  "Place of Safety"  Rev.12:6, your  Embassy  of God's   "Kingdom of Heaven"   Mat.6:33.

To do this, you must find the   "work"   what God is doing Acts.13:41 at the End of the World, and God's Firstfruits, to do what you need to do.  After you have found God's work, and done what you are required to do, you are ready to be Baptized the people doing God's work.  Then you must be an active member of God's Kingdom, to help others to receive protection from the Evil coming.  You must prepare others to   FLEE   to God's  Place of Safety   in the Middle East, and to   FLEE   again, to the  "wilderness,"  to be saved from the  "seventh seal" or the  "plagues of God."

When you read   Lk.14:26,27,33   you see that you are not only required to  "believe,"  but also to  "suffer"  for Christ's sake Phil.1:20, and you must   "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"   Phil.2:12.  You must know the difference between God's  SALVATION  and the Anti-god's  "salvation,"  and learn to show this to others, whom God is calling though you.  You begin this process, when God gives you the   "earnest"   2Cor.1:22 of the  "holy spirit,"  and God's true  "knowledge of salvation"   Lk.1:77.  Your first step after reading the truth is, that you are willing to   FAST,   willing to  "give up"   or   "LOSE"   your life, to   "FIND"   eternal life Mat.16:25. If you are not willing to   FAST   which will not be a financial sacrifice, how are you going to  "give up"   your life and its physical securities?

The  Fleeing  of  God's  First  Fruits

When God allows His  Two Witnesses  to start God's  "WORK"  Acts.13:41, we only have   "three and a half years"   Rev.11:3, to   FLEE   to God's first Place of Safety.   This time period is pre-ordained by God for His Two Witnesses to work.  The closer we are to the End of the World, the more we see how God is governing the human and angelic worlds. God's business is government.   We soon will recognize its power in our lives, if we are among the  "few"   Mat.7:14 whom He is working with in this age.  Please read the article the Ages of Salvation.

The higher you are in the Anti-god's government, the closer you must be to the Anti-god Dan.4:17.  This is the same with God's government.  This is why the closer you are to God, the fewer followers you have, since the whole world is serving and obeying the Anti-god.  This is why it will be more and more difficult to qualify to   FLEE,   to God's  Places of Safety.  We know that we have at least three places.

The  first Place of Safety  is our Home Ekklesia, established legally.  This is how you enter God's  "Kingdom of Heaven"  on earth, and its Embassy Mat. 6:33.  You are required,  "willingly"  to give up all your social and if needed professional associations Lk.14:26.  If you are   willing,   God might give it back to you, as He did to Abraham, when he was asked to sacrifice his son.  You must be  "willing"  because you are  "required"  to be a   "living sacrifice to God"   Gal. 2:20.  According Mat.16:25 and Lk.14:27 you are also required to   "forsake  ALL  what you have"   Lk.14:33, and  "bear"  your  "cross"  Lk.14:27.

You must  GIVE ALL  what you have including your  LIFE   to your Creator, Jesus our Christ Eph.3:9.  Jesus in turn will make you His   "steward"   of what you gave to Him.  This is why you  MUST  set up a None Profit None Stock Private Corporation, that the  "government of this world,"  and its  "prince of this world"  Jn.14:30, who is the   "god of this world"   2Cor.4:4 may recognize your new  "legal status."  Now the Anti-god has no  "legal"   jurisdiction over you.  If you set up your Home Ekklesia, you  "obey"  legally God, and now He can protect you.   Now you will start to  "worship"  the true Christ!

As  long  as  you  are  in  the  Christian  churches,  who   "obey"   the  "god of this world,"  (his gospel, doctrines, its codes, use his  "negotiable credit instruments"   called dollars, and use insurance),  you are worshipping the Anti-god!  Apostle Paul is telling us that  "his servant you are to whom you 'OBEY"  Rom.6:16.

The Anti-god, Satan was able to  "deceive"  all of us Rev.12:9, to  "worship"  him, by changing our money system, which was based on God's money system.  God's and our Constitutional  MONEY,  the  Dollar  was based on and backed by  "faith"  in God and by  "substance,"  in our case gold and silver.  When F.D.R. issued   "House Joint Resolution 192,"   he changed our money to a credit system, making all of us  "thieves."

Apostle Paul foreseen this, knowing Satan's stratagems and  "devises"  2Cor.2:11, of using   MONEY   and   benefits   to deceive us ITim.6:10.  Once our money was changed on   June 5, 1933,   we all became   "thieves,"  who  "shall not inherit the Kingdom of God"  ICor.6:10.  Since that day we can't   "BUY and SELL"   and wear the   "MARK of the BEAST"   Rev.13:17, and are punishable with  Death  Rom.6:23.

The  second time  we will need to   FLEE   from our first Place of Safety will be more difficult, because we, like Israel will need to go back to the Middle East, where the  "eagles be gathered together"  Mat.24:28, in the  Jerusalem  area Lk.17:37; Lk.21:20,21.  Why, because the Beast will come, and at that time America will be destroyed with  atomic,  biological  and  chemical  weapons.

The  third time  we will   FLEE   from Jerusalem.  This is before Jerusalem will be surrounded with by the Beast's army.  This is when we will   FLEE   into the "wilderness" Rev.12:6, in the area of Moab Isa.16:4.  While we are in the  "wilderness,"  like Israel was during the Exodus, God will  "destroy"  the earth as it was in Noah's day Mat.24:37.  Those of us, who will   FLEE   will be able to see Christ, coming circling the earth from  East  to  West  with great glory, and that is when those who qualified, will be  resurrected  without dying  IThes.4:17.

I pray that you  "hear"  God's  "call"  on your life, and will look for God's  "work"  and His servants, that you may be one of His  Firstfruits  or  Elects.

In the reality of Christ's eternal love,
Tom Demeter
