Why You Must Repent

Salvation in the Old Testament

February 27, 2004

Dear Friend,

This is one of the most important newsletters I have written. It tells you why you must repent, no matter who you are, to be saved. Please read the three newsletters on salvation before you read this letter.

Mel Gibson’s movie the Passion of Christ is very controversial, because nobody wants to be blamed for the death of our Creator, Jesus Eph.3:9. Christians, Jews and Gentiles blame each other for Jesus’ death, when the Bible clearly states that it was God, our Father who did it before the “foundations of the earth were made” Rev.13:8.

This clearly tells us, that neither the Christians, or the Jews and the Gentiles have access to God’s salvation, because they do not have God’s “holy spirit” Acts.2:4 and the “knowledge of salvation” Lk.1:77. This clearly proves Jesus’ words to us that we are like the people were in Noah’s day, and are without salvation Mat.24:37.

You must know that salvation was not available in the Old Testament, because they were lacking the holy spirit, and the knowledge of salvation. They therefore had no access to the Creator God, only to the Anti-god, who was created, to rule the world as the “god of the world” 2Cor.4:4, in place of the Creator Jn.8:44.

You also must consider that Jesus, the “Son of Man” Mat.12:8, who was also the “Son of God” Mat.4:3 could not be recognized as such, because to do it you must have the holy spirit. The Jews could not recognize Jesus as their Messiah, because the holy spirit was sent fifty days after Jesus was crucified.

The Twelve Apostles, the Christians could not find salvation, because to them was not given the “knowledge of salvation,” although they had God’s holy spirit. Jesus warned them: “I have many things to say to you, but you cannot accept them now” Jn.16:12. Jesus was preparing them not only to receive the holy spirit, but the knowledge of salvation which will be given to a other Prophet, Apostle Paul to whom will be given God’s “mystery” or salvation Eph.3:3.

The Jews could not recognize their Messiah. The Christians could not recognize Apostle Paul, thus both of them were cut off from receiving salvation, and stayed “alienated” Eph.4:18 from God. Only a very few Mat.7:14 were “drawn” by God Jn.6:44, to be the “Elect” of God Mat.24:22 in each generation, after 70 AD, the fall of the Temple.

Salvation, God’s Mystery was Hidden Till the End of the World Rev.10:7. God revoked His holy spirit, the mind of Christ” ICor.2:16 from the Christians Psa.51:11, and substituted it with the angel’s spirits of His seven churches Rev.2 & 3, cutting us off from God, alienating us from God.

Now, at the End of the World, starting with Mel Gibson’s movie, God will start His three revivals, by “pouring out His holy spirit” upon - not all the flesh just yet, - but His “Elect” Acts.2:17, and by “restoring” Mat. 17:11 His “knowledge of salvation” to those who are willing to accept it.

This is why we ALL must REPENT if we want to be saved!

Jesus and His Twelve Apostle’s Salvation

Please fallow Christ’s, the resurrected Jesus’ words to His Apostles. Jesus knew that without God’s holy spirit, God’s words, and ways are “foolishness” ICor.2:14 to the unconverted man, or any one who does not have God’s holy spirit. This included His Apostles and followers before Pentecost.

Our “spirit of man” ICor.2:9, which gives us our intellect, separating us from animals, and the angels is limited. It can’t comprehend God’s spiritual realm, or the “godhead” God’s family Acts.17:29; Rom.1:20. We can’t understand even the “higher” spiritual realm of the angels Heb.2:7, who are a much “lower” in kind from God like Jesus Heb.1:4.

This is why Jesus’ Apostles could not receive the “knowledge of salvation” from Him. Even if they could, the conflicts between God’s three Kingdoms and the Anti-god’s kingdom are so strong, that they could not as a group “endure” it Mat.24:13.

This is why Jesus talked in parables, that even His followers would not understand what He said Mat.13:13.

This is why when Paul received the “mystery,” or God’s “salvation” Eph.3:3, it was not given to all the Ekklesia, but to the Prophets and Apostles only Eph.3:5. As you see God our Father planed, pre-ordained “the fall,” or “alienation” Eph.4:18 of the Christians as He pre-ordained the fall of the Jews. God is not a “respecter of persons” Rom.2:11. Why because our “FALL” is essential in God’s salvation for the “reconciliation” of the angels to Him 2Cor.5:18. I will come to this a little later, in this article. It is important for you to know to understand Apostle Paul’s work, now at the End of the World Mat.24:3.

The Jews could not recognize Jesus as their Messiah, laking the holy spirit and the knowledge of God’s salvation. Therefore they could not accept His authority to change their laws, upon which their religion was based. They could not accept the new “laws of faith” Rom.3:27 from Jesus, or His Apostles.

This is why Jesus called the Christians to receive salvation. The Christians could not accept Paul, and his authority to change the “laws of faith,” which Christianity was based on, with the laws given to him, to gain salvation, which were now advanced to the “laws of the spirit” Rom.8:2. God’s religions and kingdoms are based and governed by laws. The Anti-god’s religion and kingdom therefore must be the opposite, and based on “lawlessness” or “iniquity” Mat.7:23.

This tells you that God’s salvation is based on L-A-W progressively more and more difficult to obey. This is why the “doers of the law shall be justified” or saved Rom.2:13.

When God “took away” His holy spirit from the Ekklesia Psa.51:11 they could not understand the Apostles, specially Paul. The church “fell away” 2Thes.2:3, and converted to Simon Magus’ religion Acts 8 which was based on “codes,” the Bible calls “iniquity” or “lawlessness.” The Christians like the Jews started to obey “doctrines the commandments of man” Mat.15:9.

This means to you as a Christian, that you must change to one of God’s three religions, from your present religion, which is the Anti-god’s religion, giving you the Anti-god’s salvation, based on “iniquity,” or lawlessness, they call “grace.” To receive salvation from God, you must change to God’s “highest” religion, God’s “mystery” given first to Apostle Paul, and later to the prophets of God and the Apostles.

I know this is as shocking news to you, as it was to the people in Noah’s day to convert to his religion, or to the Jews and Israel to change to Christianity, or to the Christians that they had to change to “Paul’s Gospel” Rom.2:16. Yes, God is drawing ALL His creations to Him. This includes humanity (good and evil) and the angels (good and evil), in God's future ages, or "dispensations" Eph.1:9-10.

Salvation was Given to Apostle Paul

We like it or not, God’s salvation was given to Apostle Paul only. He recognized this after he received the revelations of the “mystery” Eph.3:3. This is why to separate his gospel from the other twelve’s, he called it “my gospel” Rom.2:16, asserting that by it “God shall judge the secrets of men, by Jesus Christ!”

The other Apostles became Paul’s enemies, for preaching “another gospel” Gal.1:8,9 not given to them. The conflict was the strongest between Paul and Apostle John, because it was John and his martyred brother James and Peter, who saw Christ’s transfiguration, and were given a “more sure word of prophecy” 2Pet.1:19 or authority to judge who has the truth, if a conflict arise. Paul not having the full perspective of Christ’s different administration, could not convince John that the “revelations” he received were from Christ.

Paul could only warn his followers concerning those who were challenging his authority and “gospel.” Paul’s warning included against HIMSELF, the other Apostles, and others, saying: “though we, or any angel from heaven, (or others) preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” Gal.1:8. Than he repeated it for extra emphasis. You also see this in 2Cor.11:4 in more detail.

John in the controversy with Paul, advised his followers to go back to “which was preached from the beginning” by Jesus IJn.1:1. John did not want his followers to be confused and indoctrinated with Paul’s “error.” John and Paul were separated by doctrine, until Jesus gave Apostle John the book of Revelations. By that time the church cast out John as their leader. Others, “false brethren … came in” Gal.2:4 taking over the ekklesia. These were the brethren from Judea, who were following Apostle James (Christ’s brother), but now they were deceived. They wanted the Christians to keep the Old Testament laws, not the “higher” and new “laws of faith” or the “laws of the spirit.” By this time John was also close to his martyrdom, as James before.

It was Peter who received God’s mystery first, because it was him, to whom God revealed that the Gentiles can receive the holy spirit, without them converting to Judaism first Acts.10: 17-19, 28. This is why Peter said to his followers, before he was crucified to accept Paul’s words and his “epistles” which are “hard to be understood” 2Pet.3:15-16. You might notice that God again was starting to “hide” His mystery, this is why He allowed the Ekklesia to splinter progressively between factions, to be destroyed later.

When the Apostles finally knew that Jesus will not come back in their life time, which caused a great disappointment of the Christians in Jesus and His Apostles, (causing a great “falling away” 2Thes.2:3 before 70 AD.,) Peter and Paul canonized the Bible for us, who will live now at the End of the World ICor.10:11, that it may be preserved for us. Peter with Paul put most of the Epistles of Paul in the New Testament. John, Paul strongest opponent did the final canonization at the end of his life, putting his seal of approval on it!

By that time the controversy was over, for the Apostles Eph.3:5. The Christians either were persecuted, scattered, or killed. Caesar - Nero, who burned down Rome, and blamed it on the Christians, caused a great persecution of the Christians. Christians were martyred, causing those who did not have faith to fall away. When the leaders of the flock are killed the sheep fall away.

Israel rejected Jesus. Jesus became the “head” or capstone of the pyramid, of God’s government. Paul was also rejected even by the Apostles. He became the head of all the Apostles. “God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.” This is why we need to humble ourselves and be willing to act on faith, to “live by faith” Rom.1:17, for truth is revealed from God’s “Faith” to your “faith” Rom.1:17. We can’t live in lawlessness or the lower laws of God, or serve “two masters” God and the Anti-god.

The Lost 2000 Years

What did Jesus say going to happen to His church? “I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Mat.16:18. The people might “fall away” but the church will not.

Jesus predicted that in spite that the people and the world will be as in Noah’s day Mat.24:37, or before the flood, at the End of the World Mat.24:3 the church will always exist. Before the Flood God worked only with ONE righteous man in each generation, as recorded in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. The rest of the people were religious, like Job’s friends, but they were not allowed to know the Creator God Jn.6:44, only the “god of this world” 2Cor.4:4. This is why Job’s friends, no matter how right they thought they were, did not understand Job and his God, or His ways. This is why they insisted that Job was a sinner, when he was not!

The people were like the Jews who had a “zeal of God, but not according to knowledge” Rom.10:2, of salvation. They had to worship the Anti-god, because God was “hiding” from them, behind the Anti-god. Jesus said: “I will open my mouth in parables; will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world” Mat.13:35.

God’s deepest secrets were revealed according to Mat.10:26, through Apostle Paul, but “ not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God” Acts.10:41. Jesus said that to find SALVATION was NOT given to the “many” to find, but only to a “few” Mat.7:14. After Apostle John’s death God again “hidden” His “mystery,” until the very end of the world Rev.10:7, as it was hidden before the Flood Mat.24:37. In the first sixth thousand years, the Anti-god must rule the world. This is why when Jesus was tempted Mat.4:8,9, Satan had power to give ruler-ship of the world to Jesus, under Satan.

Satan’s function is to “deceive the whole world” and every world-order Rev.12:9. When God’s system is totally eliminated in the world, or in a nation, is when its “sin is full!” Today, the world, is like it was before the flood, when its SIN was full, as it was Egypt’s, and later of the Amorites in Canaan Gen.15:16. God “destroys” that system or world, and re-establish a new system, where His and Satan’s system are existing again side by side.

At times to “slow down” the destruction of humanity, God steps in, like at the tower of Babel and intervenes not to destroy the world and humanity Gen.11.

This is why we see after Christ’s first coming “revivals” of God kingdoms, re-establishing the system based on “good and evil,” God created for us, to have a CONFLICT between God’s and the Anti-god’s kingdom. When sin was “full again” in due time, that system or kingdom was eliminated. This is why we see history repeat itself.

This is why when you examine the history of organized Christianity, it has a terrible and dismal record.

Christianity became prominent because the Romans saw that to control the world, they needed a “universal” or Catholic religion, which was acceptable to all peoples and to their religion. True Christianity can’t accommodate other religions. This is why the Christianity which Rome accepted was not Christ’s or Paul’s Christianity, but Gnosticism, which was the creation of Simon the Sorcerer, mentioned in Acts the eight chapter.

This is why the Christians fought wars with their enemies, like the Old Testament church, instead “turning the other cheek.” They did not realize that in the Old Testament if one or a nation obeyed God, they were blessed physically, because there was NO SALVATION or spiritual blessings offered. The church was blind that in the New Testament the “flesh profits nothing” and the “spirit that quickeneth” Jn.6:63 based upon “believes” and “faith!” This is why the miracles stopped after the “mystery” was given to Paul.

Now, we are at the End of the World! "Our sin is full.” We are so “deceived” and far from God, that if God would not send His “Two Witnesses” Rev.11:3, to “restore” God’s truth Mat.17:11, God would not find “faith” or His religion on the earth Lk.18:8. If it would be possible even the Very Elect Mat.24:24 would be deceived, who is the First Witness of the Two Witnesses of God.

Christianity no matter how nice it is, is NOT CHRISTIANITY! This is why we were asked to “come out” of it Rev.18:4 religiously, legally and financially, as Noah had to “come out” from his and his predecessors religion! IF we do, God will open our eyes to our “deception.” If we don’t “come out” of this world and our religion, we will stay in the “snare of the devil.”

God made a “new covenant” with Noah Gen.6:18, as God is offering a “new covenant” to you, His “mystery!” To receive God’s protection and to be in the RESURRECTION without dying ICor.15:52, or to escape into the physical millennial kingdom of God, you need to accept one of God’s “restored” religions now. If you do not “come out” of the world, and your present religion, you will receive the “plagues,” of the “sixth seal” Rev.12:6.

God’s Salvation was Restored for You

It is most difficult for you to accept and believe your deception and that all Christian denominations are deceived! It is difficult because the Churches use the Bible and they seem to do a lot of good, changing people lives.

Yet God is telling you, that they are ALL wrong and “deceived” Rev.12:9 like the people were in Noah’s day Mat.24:37. If Jesus our Christ would not send His Two Witnesses to “restore” His truth Mat.17:11, He would not find “faith,” His faith, religion on the earth Lk.18:8!

Now to me this was most difficult to accept, and is to you too. Most ministers when I try to show them this, can’t even look at it, as the Pharisees could not in Jesus’ day that they left the religion of the Old Testament, and established a .“man made”. religion of the Anti-god. The Jews thought that they are serving God, when they were serving the Anti-god. As you now know, they did not have the holy spirit, or the knowledge of God salvation. They were not allowed to know the Creator, only the Anti-god.

You are different. God wants to give you as an Elect the spirit of the Philadelphia church, that you could be a “living sacrifice” to God Gal.2:20.

If you want to be one of the “Firstfruits” of God, or a “remnant” of God’s people, you can receive God’s holy spirit, from the Second Witness of God’s first Prophet, that you may have the power to endure your martyrdom.

I am asking you to become an Elect of God and have a chance to be in the “resurrection” without dying ICor.15:52.

To be an Elect, you must “bring forth fruits meet for repentance” Mat.3:8. You must “come out” of this world Rev.18:4 religiously, legally and financially. Contact me. After you have qualified, you must be “baptized” into the Philadelphia Church of God Rev.3:7, and establish your Ekklesia, God’s Embassy as a Non Profit, Non Stock Private Corporation legally. This will allow you to fulfill the requirements as Christ’s “disciple” Lk.14:26,27,33.

Now you will be “sealed” by God, to be protected during the “tribulations” where one third of the population of the earth will be killed, and later in the “seventh seal” when the rest of the population will be destroyed, as it was in Noah’s day.

God is kind to you. He has revealed His “MYSTERY” to you, that you may see His “goodness” which “lead you to repent” Rom.2:4!

REPENT of your idolatry, FLEE from the wrath to come. Believe God, test and examine whom you believe, that you may DO what God is asking you, that you may be SAVED and also RESURRECTED to eternal life.

The time is CRITICAL to act. If you don’t act URGENTLY, to receive GOD’S SEAL for protection it might be too late to save your LIFE, and the LIVES of others, for which you are “called” to be “God’s Elect.” I pray that you make the choice to be an “Elect,” and let me know, that you may be baptized.
