The Seventh Message
Counsel to the Church of Laodicea
By Eric William King
In this Laodicean
Period of the Christian church Jesus is doing something…He is knocking at your door. Do you hear
Him? (Revelation 3:20) (Proverbs 3:5-6) God has stirred up a spiritual storm on
this planet…through this storm Jesus is giving THE KNOCK!
Note:
This entire document (The Seventh Message) contains posted information from
many older articles written by Eric William King and is in fact a compilation.
Some sentences and leading paragraphs have been added to bring the information
together better. In fact, this document contains much new information
regarding Latter-Day David. – November 2023
Inspiration
has come to the House of the Lord.
All True Latter-Day Christians should read this entirely.
From Eric William King –
You are sitting at home and it is nighttime. You are on the couch reading a
book when you thought you heard a knock – a knock on the front door. You think
to yourself that you didn’t really hear it.
It’s morning and the bright sun is out when you think you hear a knock
again. You sit there and think to yourself that it was nothing. You continue
eating breakfast.
High noon arrives, you’re doing a puzzle on the table. It is very peaceful,
not a noise. Then, you hear the knock. This time you know that you heard it.
You get up and walk fast to the door. You grab the door handle to open
it……...who do you see?
Too many Christians are scared of every noise, frightened of every channel
God uses, so that you can meet Him at the door – ARE YOU READY FOR HIS
INTRODUCTION? - not many actually are so they don’t listen.
In “the time of the end” inspiration has come to the Christian Church –
“standing at the door”, especially since October 10th 2017 when the Ancient
Antiochene Church of God started this important ministry (TSW).
The sad reality is, now in 2023, there is satanic hatred towards true Christians
and Jews.
We predicted this. As God continues to reveal more Light, the Devil gets mad
and throws forth more darkness.
God promises His true children; “For God has
not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
(2nd Timothy 1:7)
Through the Seventh Message God has exalted us so we must
remain humble. It is truly time to put trust in God’s
Word (Sola Scriptura), not mans. God’s
prophecies will be completely fulfilled. Every last prophecy will come to
its proper conclusion.
The present attitude of the Christian Church regarding the fact
of Continued
Light is not pleasing to God. We are living in a time when Satan
is working harder than ever. His hatred toward Israel and God’s people has
intensified. Here at The Shepherds Way and Nugget of Truth, we
always leave you with a prayerful attitude from God’s precious Word. God is
revealing new insight from His powerful Word. We, as true Christians must
remain teachable.
It is time for all Christians to investigate this message. You will
find that it comes straight from the Word of God. It has been shinning on us
the whole time!
God informs us to “hear a matter” before we judge it (Proverbs 18:13). As
His scroll unrolls (the Bible = the Seven Sealed Scroll), we are to
listen, pay attention, and truly take out personal time to study. We are not to
make the same mistake as the ancient Jews did who rejected the New Light.
We are also not to make the same mistake the Protestants have made, in
rejecting the Seventh Message.
It is time for a deeper relationship with God. He wants to communicate something
very special to the collective church.
Do you understand the mystery of Babylon the Great and David?
We are living in a serious “hour of time”. The entire planet has
become “Babylon the Great”. The
politicians and rulers have drunk from the “cup of abomination”
(Jeremiah 25:15,16; Psalm 75:8). This latter-day Babylon includes Fallen
Christendom. Just as ancient Koresh freed Judah from
ancient Babylon, so the coming David will lead the 144,000 to Jerusalem
and set up the theocratic Davidian throne so that when Jesus returns the “throne
of His father David” will be given Him (Luke1:32,33; Matthew 25:31).
Latter-day David will more openly appear after the very last Anti-Christ has already been identified and
the final of the 144,000 has been completely
sealed.
Regarding the 144,000, the final Anti-Christ will not
be able to harm them. (Revelation 9:4)
If you do not yet understand, please
continue reading.
Thoughts from the latter-day
Zerub Babel message:
1- “At this time God’s church is going through a house
cleaning, being cleansed by the counsel to the Laodicean church.”
2- “God is now sifting His church; the true
and precious saints will come out clean dressed in the righteousness of Jesus
Christ.”
3- “Ancient King David was the eighth son of
Jesse. Those who awaken from their Laodicean condition actually become the
eternal Church, the eighth church (which is Davidian).
They have accepted the Seventh Message which includes the knowledge
of the coming David. They also understand the eighth day creation of Adam and
Eve.”
4- “The Bride of Christ is His church. It is
His dearest subject on earth. This is why He corrects her when needed and even
rebukes her when needed (humbles us). The Seventh Message is the counsel for
today’s church. Those who refuse to accept it are divorcing themselves from
God.”
5- “The Laodiceans believe that ‘they have need of
nothing’, yet Jesus tells them that they are ‘wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked’. They have become unteachable and have spiritually
fallen asleep. Only God’s message and counsel to them (the Seventh
Message) will shake them up – in hopes that they awaken.”
6- “Many American protestants have had reformers who wrote
out a theology that they believe can never progress, change, or grow.
Many American
Christians need to be released from medieval traditionalism. More
independent study and scholarship needs to occur.”
7- “The Ancient Antiochene Church of God still
exists; ancient Antioch was where we were first called
‘Christian’ – (Acts 11:26) It is this church which accepts all the
counsel to the Seven Churches. In that sense it is the eighth church, an upshoot and
not an offshoot.”
8- “True Christians are Living Branches; they
produce good fruit. A dead branch becomes a brittle stick which eventually
falls apart or gets crunched. We are saved through Living Faith in Jesus the Christ and His
righteousness, not ‘our’ righteousness.”
9- “In Noah’s day, people had to accept what God showed him
and told him. Noah called them into the ark. The ark typifies all Present Truth.
There has been a present truth for each dispensation and epoch of time.
If you do not know where you stand in prophetic history,
you will not recognize present truth.”
10- “Many Christians are in the danger of rejecting a Truth
because it contradicts something that they had been taught or “thought”
was right but in fact they begin to question their past beliefs. The “Church Leaders” become infuriated when
they hear somebody explaining the “Message for Laodicea” properly.
Note: Above statements (short paragraphs)
were taken from some of Eric’s messages since 2017 into 2023.
The Seven Sealed
Scroll
We believe that the Christian Bible is the Seven Sealed Scroll, seen in the book of
Revelation. (Revelation 5:1) This Scroll (the Bible) is only “open to”
(understood by) those who have truly accepted Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God) as
their Lord - God and Savior. (Isaiah 29:18) Through the gift of the Holy
Spirit, God’s word is open unto us now in this time, the church “age” –
more accurately, “dispensation”. (John 14:26) Though we
will never fully understand ALL of God’s word in this life, He
reveals enough to get us where we need to go. (1st Corinthians
13:12)
Just as Moses was commanded to make a “copy” of the tabernacle in
heaven, the written Bible is a “copy” of the unadulterated Word of God
in heaven and gifted to us.
During the time of the first apostles, “title deeds” (property deeds) were
written on scrolls and sealed with wax seals. (Jeremiah 32:8-15;
Ruth 4:1-14) The person who purchased a title deed was called the “redeemer”. (Ruth4:1) These title
deeds, if good, contained the entire history of the land or property in
question. It (the scroll) was usually written on both sides (Jeremiah
32:8-15).
There
were two copies made…one sealed and one open. (Jeremiah 32:11)
So, our Christian Bibles are copies of this important “title deed”
– the
“open” copy. Our Bibles contain the will of God and God
loves us so much that he has given us the complete story in the Bible (written
on “both sides” – Old & New Testaments). We call it “the Vision of ALL”. (Isaiah 29:11)
God promises to open the Bible to many, but to many
others it remains a sealed book. God says; “The vision of ALL (The
Bible) has become to you like the words of a book (Scroll) that is sealed,
which men deliver to one who is literate, saying “Read this, please.”; and he
says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” Then the book is delivered to one who is
illiterate, saying. “Read this, please.”; and he says, “I am not literate.” -
(Isaiah 29:11-12)
More on this subject in just a little bit.
The Zerub-Babel
Message
Zechariah chapter
four: In this chapter we learn about “the
Word of God to Zerubbabel.” This Word is represented by the two “olive trees”,
the Old and New Testament. They feed the big golden bowl – they feed it “golden
oil”. The bowl is the Old and New Testament coming together. The apostle John
received the “little book (scroll)” open in Revelation chapter ten. This was
the ‘completed’ New Testament. John’s book is the last book of our Christian
Bible.
Today the “John class” are “eating” this book, taking it in,
understanding it. (Jeremiah 15:16; Revelation 10:9,10) From the “golden
bowl” comes seven pipes, feeding the lamp stand (the Seven Churches).
The pipes represent God’s messengers to the seven churches. The oil represents
the revealed Word of God and also, the Holy Spirit through which new revelation is given.
The Latter-Day Zerubbabel is the Seventh Messenger to the Seventh Church,
Laodicea. He helps carry the revealed truth to all Christians.
There are distinctive mysteries, prophecies which are only now,
in our time being fully understood. They all have to do with what we
call “The
Seventh Message”. Here is a simple list of them:
1.)
The Whirlwind Prophecy. (Jeremiah ch.25)
2.)
Three phases of the war, Gog & Magog (Russia in
prophecy). (Ezekiel ch.38 & 38:17-22 - Revelation 20:8)
3.)
The Seventh Messenger & all messages to the Seven
Church Epochs. (Revelation ch.2&3)
4.)
The Latter-Day Zerubbabel. (Zechariah ch.4; Haggai 2:4-9
& 21-23)
5.)
The Latter-Day David. (Ezekiel 34:23,24; Hosea 3:4,5;
Jeremiah 30:9)
6.)
The Seven Revelations to the Antiochene Church of God. (Theology
confirmed in the year 2023)
7.)
The Right Understanding of the Seven Seals & the
144,000. (Revelation ch.5 – 8; Revelation ch.7)
If you study with us here you will begin to learn about these awesome
mysteries. They have always been right before us in our Bible but only
now, in the Laodicean period of the church can we truly understand them.
Laodiceans Reject the New Light
Many ‘Christians’ who find our ministry, allow prejudice
to keep them from truly studying the Word of the Lord. They refuse to
investigate for themselves the Truth that God wants to give to His people.
It is up to YOU to do your own personal study, learn to listen to “both
sides” of the issue thoroughly.
Many say, “My pastor said…” then they proceed to
actually pretend to know what they are talking about. They are satisfied
with what they ‘think’ they know – they are lukewarm. Jesus Christ has a
lot to say about this type of Christian (Revelation 3:14-22).
Many scoffed at Noah and all the other prophets of God
only to find themselves in deep trouble. They were no longer doubters when
the facts came in. In Micah we are commanded to, “Hear ye the Rod, and
who hath appointed it.” (Micah 6:9) The Shepherd’s Rod is the
symbol of the correction which the Church needs today.
The Shepherds Rod (Word of Correction) is used in the “Shepherds Way”
to correct, and keep His church AWAKE.
“Shepherds” is plural because its where
all true Christians train to be “shepherds” so that they can teach when the
Millennial Kingdom comes (Which is the final Dispensation
– the 7th).
“Then saviors (the John Class) shall come to
Mount Zion. To judge the mountains of Esau, And the
kingdom shall be the LORD’s.” (Obadiah 21) But before this final Kingdom
comes, there must be judgment.
The
Laodicean Church is being judged first;
“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the
house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of
those who do not obey the Gospel of God?” – (1st Peter4:17)
God also informs us regarding His remnant; “I will set up
SHPHERDS (the John Class) over them; and
they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking.” Says
the LORD.” – (Jeremiah 23:3,4)
Those who disregard the Laodicean Counsel will
not be a part of the John Class [True Remnant] but they shall be “cast out”.
(1st Corinthians 5:7)
Revelation 7:1-3 informs us that presently, there are four
angels “holding back the four winds”. Why can’t they let these winds go
yet? Because the “angel that arises from the east” states that before the winds
can be let loose the servants of God must be “sealed” in their “foreheads”.
(Revelation 7:1-3) What does this messenger (angel) seal them with? It is the
final counsel to the Seventh Church, the church of Laodicea – which
is the final Word of God (a Great Understanding) to
His churches (Revelation 19:13).
God has a special message for Laodicea. It involves New Light.
Jesus said; “I still have many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12) So, when are we to get
the new knowledge? The fact is, God has had new insight for His bride in every
church epoch. We are currently in the Seventh Church Epoch. God also tells His
true people;
“In the latter days you will
understand it perfectly.” (Jeremiah 23:20)
The strife being held back by the “four angels” continues
to be held back until God’s Remnant Church understands the last message “perfectly”
(completely – Jeremiah 23:20; Isaiah 29:18,24). The reason why the “four winds”
are held back is for the protection of God’s Church and the final “sealing” of
the 144,000 – 12,000 from each of the “Twelve Tribes” of Israel.
As
this begins to start, God’s true church has to be here to give the sealing massage
to the first of the 144,000.
True Christians will study this Laodicean message - to
teach it. They become what we call, the John Class (those who heed
the counsel to Laodicea). One will be the last one to be saved and the
Church will leave, it will be taken up (raptured) and out and
then the first of the 144,000 will have received this message to take it into the
Tribulation Period – this could happen at any moment – this causes the “Rapture”
of the Church. The Seventh Message will have been thoroughly explained and handed to the
first of the 144,000. The Church will then be “caught up”.
These are “time of the end” truths
which are finely being revealed [understood properly] from God’s Word.
This Seventh Message seals all those Christians in the
Seventh Church who receive the counsel to Laodicea but it also seals the
144,000 in a very special way. (Revelation 7:2-3) The John Class
is sealing them with it by proclaiming it to all.
Note: The John Class comprise all awake Christians who
are studying the book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John. They are
receiving the “whole counsel of God.” (Acts 20:27)
As God’s word becomes “brighter and brighter” – Proverbs
4:18 - to the true saints, some teachers seek self-glorification. Satan
seeks to divert man’s minds to think about everything else but the Present Truth.
Many Laodiceans have lost sight of dependence on God, they have turned to
“self-sufficiency” – disposed to look to themselves.
The Four Horses [first “four seals”] of God’s
word point to man’s divergence from God’s way, and expose man’s way. A
continuation of lower and lower character – the last ride of these four horses
is coming soon but first the True Saints must be “sealed” – Sealed with the
Seventh Message from God’s Word! (Revelation 7:3)
Jesus said
that John the Baptist came neither “eating”
(glutton) or “drinking” (alcohol)
and you felt that he could not understand sinners (too “stuck up”). So, Jesus
said, “I
came both eating (“unclean” foods)
and drinking (alcohol) and you claim
that I have a devil.” In other words, “you simple minded morons” - you
find any excuse to ignore the Truth…you
do not understand the seriousness of your own sinful nature. (Matthew 11:18-19)
The so called
modern “western intellectuals” think
that their fallen human reason and logic supersedes Divine
Intelligence. With their “diet
enforcements” and “drugs” they
proclaim their sickness as “enlightenment”.
The Anglo-Saxons [Isaac’s sons]
who started (founded) this country
came over here to get away from paganism and false worship, not to “enhance it”. True Christians from every race,
nation, tribe and tongue need to now speak out the Truth [The Seventh Message].
A Country that replaces God with drugs is in great trouble. Those modern
pagans who think it is “cool” to sell drugs to children will certainly be judged by God.
Many in
America believe that it is “okay” to abort living Human children, smoke
drugs, and hate True Christians and Jews.
So why is America so full of sin? It doesn’t take a “rocket theologian”
to figure it out.
The so called
“ecclesiastical” leaders have been
taught a watered-down and liberal Christianity for fear of being rejected
and loss of congregation. The reality is, numbers do not matter when it comes
to Truth. A scared and over run by pagans’ nation gives in and thus
begins to totally fall apart.
Note:
The entire document that you are reading (The Seventh Message) contains posted
information from many older articles and is in fact a compilation of some of
E.W.King’s writings. Some sentences and leading paragraphs have been added to
bring the information together better.
What’s
coming soon?
God will Rapture His
Church
We read about
the ancient church and overall church history from Revelation
chapters two through three. This covers the Church
Dispensation (the sixth) and the counsel that the Church
Dispensation needs. It climaxes with the Laodicean Counsel, our
time. John was commanded to;
“Write
the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the
things which will take place after this.” (Revelation 1:19)
In this
Church Dispensation we have “Seven Epochs” (differing time length-periods)
1st
So, first apostle John was to write the “things which you have seen”.
This was the first portion of the Revelation, which is the Son of Man standing in
the midst of the “Seven Lampstands” (the Seven Churches). This
would ultimately cover the entire Church Dispensation, which includes
our time and climaxes in our time - Laodicean time (now).
2nd
Second, he was to write the things which “are”. These were the counsels
to the Seven Churches in John’s time which includes leading up to our time.
Every one of the “septenary” mysteries (the Seven Churches, the Seven Seals,
the Seven
Trumpets, the Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath) are progressive
in the book of Revelation. So even though these counsels applied to the
“seven churches” in apostle Johns Day, they progressively show the counsel to Seven Epochs
of the church throughout time, leading into our time – which
is the Seventh Time of the Christian Church (the Laodicean time).
3rd
Third, he was to write about “the things which shall take place after this.”
This means “after the Church Dispensation”. This shows that the rest of
the Revelation involves things which will happen after the church has been “caught up” – after the Christian Church
is gone from planet Earth. (after the rapture)
Throughout
time the Christian Church has had to learn these prophecies more in depth, it
requires church history to develop. The Laodicean (last church) has become unteachable, according to Christ’s own
counsel to the church. They remain “lukewarm”. They are the oldest, in the
sense that they are the last remnant of the previous six churches. – what
has happened to these left-overs? (Revelation 3:14-22)
God requires past,
present and future accountability as to what His churches have done with
His counsel for each church.
The Bible
tells us; “I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever, Nothing can be
added to it, And nothing taken from it, God does it, that men should fear
before Him. That which is has already been, And what is to be has already
been; And God requires an account of what is past.” – Ecclesiastes 3:14-15)
Though God
works in our spacetime continuum, He
is not bound by it. In fact, He can dwell outside of all space and time – past,
present, future.
Though the
“rapture” of the church is imminent (could happen anytime), God decides, and He
has decided to take His church through a journey in time to teach her
(His bride) that He is a God of relationship and loves to watch us all grow.
So, since the beginning of the 6th Dispensation, God has now led -
and is leading us through 7 Epochs
of the Christian
Church. We have arrived in the 7th Epoch. This is extremely important to understand.
This is why,
that at the ending time of the Seventh Church (the Seventh Epoch), God wants to
give those who heed the counsel to Laodicea the New Light – new Truth.
This new light is not an edition to the Bible but is found in the Word of
God itself.
The Christian Church is receiving New Light from the
pages of Scripture. Though these truths seem “new” to us they
have always been right in front of us, on the pages of Scripture. Now, new
possibilities are open for God’s true people to receive, if they only remain
teachable.
Hidden Things are Now Revealed
Jesus promised to give His true church “the
Hidden Manna” – (Revelation 2:17). Hidden Manna represents a
“truth” that was once hidden but is now able to be seen and understand.
The Seventh Message has arrived. The Laodicean church is now
exposed. Too many Christians have become content with limited knowledge but
God is asking us all to GROW. We are to remain a Living
Branch. God is telling us;
“I have made you hear new things from this
time, Even hidden things, and you did not know them. They
are created now and not from the beginning; And before this day you have
not heard them, Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’” (Isaiah 48:6,7)
Again, God informs His people;
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and
show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
(Jeremiah 33:3)
Are you ready to learn? Whenever
God has New Light for His people Satan comes around and sows “seeds of doubt”.
The Devil does everything in his power to prevent you from receiving it. Let us
not refuse the Light (the “extra oil”)
that God wants us to receive. If we refuse what God wants, we will never grow
but will become stale, lukewarm.
God is giving His church a last message of mercy. The Seventh Message,
the counsel for Laodicea is here. Many people want the
new light, but they do not like the way that God may be presenting it,
so they reject it. That is a sad decision.
God promises to open the Bible to many, but to many
others it remains a sealed book. God says; “The vision of ALL (The
Bible) has become to you like the words of a book (Scroll) that is sealed,
which men deliver to one who is literate, saying “Read this, please.”; and he
says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” Then the book is delivered to one who is
illiterate, saying. “Read this, please.”; and he says, “I am not literate.” - (Isaiah
29:11-12)
In other words, without the Holy Spirit neither
the educated or uneducated cannot figure it out. God informs us
through Apostle Paul; “However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature,
yet not
the wisdom of this age (the
Church Age), nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to
nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a
mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before
the ages (before all 7 Dispensations & Earth Ages) for our glory, which
none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not
have crucified the Lord of glory.” - (1st Corinthians 2:6-8)
God promised a day when the New Testament would be
completely joined to the Old Testament, making THE BOOK (scroll) the complete
Revelation – “the vision of ALL”.
God said; “In that day the deaf shall hear the words of
THE BOOK (the Bible), And the eyes of the blind (spiritually blind) shall see
out of obscurity and out of darkness.” - (Isaiah 29:18)
What shall they gain from proper study of THE BOOK?
God says; “” These also who erred in spirit will come to
understanding, And those who murmured will LEARN DOCTRINE.” –
(Isaiah 29:24)
God says emphatically in Proverbs 4:2; “For I give you GOOD DOCTRINE.”
We may vanish at any time –
then comes, the Anti-Christ.
Imagine a time coming when millions of people will
immediately and supernaturally “VANISH”.
It will be caught on thousands of video cams. It will be on every channel. The
event will flood all possible outlets.
Then what?
After the Christian Church is “caught up”,
to meet Christ Jesus in the “air” (John 14:1-3), Then the final
Anti-Christ will appear. This final “Christ hater” will be
the final rider on the “First Horse” of the “Four Horsemen”. He
symbolically appears on a “white horse” in Revelation 6:1-2 but he is not
the White Horse found in Revelation 19:11-16 – the second horse rider in
Revelation ch.19 is the real Jesus Christ, this first rider is a
counterfeit. (The Anti-Christ wears a different kind of crown and has a “bow”,
not the “Sword”.)
This first horse has been “ridding” since the fall
of Adam and Eve but he will have a final ride. There have
been many “anti-Christ’s”. The final Anti-Christ will sign a seven-year peace
treaty with Israel & the Middle East. He will have supernatural
power and will be able to entice and deceive many.
In the middle of the seven-year peace treaty, the final
Anti-Christ will break that peace treaty. God will then complete the final “sealing”
of His
special Tribulation People, the 144,000.
From the 12,000 sealed from the tribe of Judah, a Latter-day
David will appear and help them reform a Davidic Kingdom – the Kingdom of David (Luke 1:32-33; Hosea
3:4-5; Ezekiel 34:23-32; Zechariah 8:23 & 12:8-10; Isaiah 44:28 7 ch.45).
When the Church returns with Jesus Christ at the end of
the Seven Year Tribulation, then
Jesus will be given “the throne of His father
Daivid.” It will be here for Him to take.
Soon the Christian Church will be "caught up and out" of
this fallen world. Afterwards, the Two Witnesses
will appear, during the first three and a half years of the Tribulation. The
Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand are probably already here to receive the
Seventh Message and will discover who they truly are - after the Church is
taken up.
It will take up to the middle of the Tribulation for the final and complete
sealing of the 144,000. It will
take three-and-one-half years.
The Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand will
appoint for themselves the Latter-Day David,
he will help lead them (Ezekiel 34:23,24; Hosea 3:3,5; Isaiah 44:28; Jeremiah
30:9). The Kingdom of David will be here for Jesus Christ to take and
control after the Great Tribulation (Luke 1:32,33; Matthew 25:31).
Note: Latter-day David will become more visible after the final
Anti-Christ has already been revealed.
I have just summed up a vast amount of Christian doctrine which is
extremely important for the time you are living in. Again, I urge you to watch
all of my Bible lectures [at The Nugget of Truth – Eric King]. Soon, the
Church will be "caught up" and "out" and then a last time David ~ a David Koresh will appear to help
reestablish the Davidic Throne on
Earth (Psalm 89:3,4). The 12,000 of the tribe of Judah (part of those numbered
with the 144,000) will appoint Latter-Day David as their prince & earthly
king, thus establishing the Davidic Kingdom which Jesus the Christ shall
return for (Zechariah 8:23; Ezekiel 34:23,24; Luke 1:32,33).
“Did he say,
‘Koresh’?” – Yes…he did. Keep reading to begin
to understand yet another Biblical mystery. These “new truths” have
always been right in front of us.
Condition of Today's Church
The churches
today are losing members not because of the Truth
but because of lack of Truth and lack of deep study (spiritual
laziness). The fallen
denominations are afraid to speak the Truth. They think that it will make
them loose even more members. The fact is, the true sheep are starving
for the Gospel Truth. Instead, they
go to a church and get fed politically
correct dung. They are starving.
God says; “My people have
been lost sheep, Their shepherds have led them astray…” (Jeremiah 50:6-7)
and…
“My people are destroyed for lack
of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)
Where are
those like the martyrs of old who
were “not ashamed of the gospel”?
The Lord has warned; “The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the
LORD; so, they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.” (Jeremiah
10:21) God also warns that; “In that day
seven women [seven churches] will take hold of one man [Jesus Christ] and
say, “We will eat our own food [false doctrine] and provide our own clothes;
[false righteousness] only let us be called by your name [Christian in name
only]. Take away our disgrace!” (Isaiah 4:1) This passage goes
on to say that only the true survivors who have trusted in the
Branch [Yeshua]
shall prosper.
The ”seven
women” in Isaiah 4:1 are referring to those within the Seven Churches who
have rejected all seven counsels (they represent the fallen churches).
Where is the
“Gospel of the Kingdom of God”? True
Christians have their minds set on higher living principles and ways (such as
not wrongfully judging others). They try to live like they are already
in the Kingdom. True Christians are Kingdom Members. No
church is teaching the Kingdom of God anymore - instead they are trying
to get you more connected to this fallen world.
Some of what
is taught here at TSW may seem strange and
odd to many American Christians who have been isolated from the truth about
early Christian history. This is why it is extremely important
to understand early Christian history. We begin to understand and see how the Holy Spirit led the early church through
2000 years of differing cultures and traditions. Even today Christianity
has taken on its own form, especially
right here in the United States.
From its
earliest days Christianity has had to contend with false teachers and heretical
dogma. Apostle Paul warned about apostasy in almost all of his letters. It
is very important for today’s Christians to understand the times of the early
apostles and how the early Church dealt with specific heresies.
Apostate propaganda is spread all over the place.
It is up to each Christian to truly test the Truth’s presented to him or her.
When one reads the counsels given to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation one must understand the
cultural issues of these troubles and the early beliefs of those trying to
confuse Christians.
Now, let us
go a bit deeper into the Davidian Mystery…………
Information about Latter-day David
There are prophecies in the Major
Prophets and Minor Prophets
(Even the Psalms) that refer to a different King David than that of
the Old Testament. We, the Ancient Antiochene Church of God have Bible truths that many denominational
Christians reject. Sadly, they have been deceived into believing that they have
no need for any more true doctrines. They say that they "have
need of nothing". One of these important doctrines that they reject is
the Davidian Kingdom doctrine
- (Which has actually been around since the beginning of the Patristic
Period).
Ancient Antiochene Christians have sometimes been called "Davidians" or "Davidian Christians" by “modern”
Christians - because we have this important and distinct doctrine. They (Fallen Christendom) reject the fact that God
has much more to teach them. It surprises me how many have become un-teachable.
One of these “Latter-day David” prophecies states that a group of people
(The 144,000) will be seeking for
this David “in the Last Days”
(also Isaiah 66:18-23; Zechariah 8:23). We find it in Hosea 3:4-5 which reads;
“For the children of Israel shall abide many days without
a king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or
teraphim. Afterward the children of Israel shall return (Which prophetically occurred on May 14th
1948), seek the Lord their God
and
David there king, and fear the Lord
and His goodness in the Latter-Days.”
Of course, the last Anti-Christ
will have already been exposed before the “seeking” of David
occurs.
This will be
the beginning of the Davidic
Covenant becoming completely fulfilled. The entire earth,
after the Tribulation is over, will be under the Davidic Kingdom Rule as promised in the Davidic
Covenant – an Unconditional Covenant. (2 Samuel 7:4-16; Psalm 89). This will be a Davidian Kingdom (Ezekiel
34:23-24).
When Adam
and Eve sinned, they forfeited the title deed to Satan the Devil who became
“the god of this age” (2 Corinthians
4:4). Through the life, death and resurrection of
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ - God has rightfully purchased back the title
deed of this, His creation (Romans
8:21). We (the Christian Church) are His
“purchased possession” (Ephesians 1:14).
Now, earlier
I had mentioned not only Latter-Day David but I called him ‘David Koresh’. Why?
Latter-Day David’s last name
Ancient Antiochene records show that this coming David will have an identifiable
last name (Surname) and it is spoken of in the Scriptures themselves. To
understand these prophecies, we must understand a little background information
about old King Cyrus.
King Cyrus
was prophesied of, about just under two centuries before his birth. Through the
Major Prophet, Isaiah -(Isaiah 44:26-28; All of Isaiah ch.45 & more
places)- and others. Isaiah prophesied about Cyrus coming forth and
freeing Israel from Babylonian bondage - and that is now an historical fact.
Babylon was taken by Cyrus in 538 B.C. and this has overtones of a
future Cyrus, who during the Great Tribulation will be leading
tribulation saints out of Babylon the Great – the entire fallen
world. The world’s great powers during the Great Tribulation will
fall “in one hour”. (Revelation ch.18)
Before
Cyrus [Koresh] was even born, we read these amazing prophecies about him;
“(God) Who
says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,
And he shall perform all My pleasure,
even saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built.”, And to the temple, “Your
foundation shall be laid.” – (Isaiah 44:28)
King Cyrus
took over Babylon in 538 B.C. and freed Israel and gave an edict to let them
return to their land and build back their Temple. He gave the special edict for
them to build the temple in 536 B.C. It is said by some historians that when
Cyrus freed Israelites he came into their land and the Nevi’im [the Prophets] ran up to him with
their parchments and showed him where the prophets spoke about him almost 200
years before the fact. It is stated that after Cyrus heard their testimony he
said; “So let it be written, so let it be done.” – and it was so.
Let us begin
to understand more about the future Koresh.
Reading on
into Isaiah chapter forty-five, we find an ancient and sacred prophesy about
our future - a secret prophecy. The name “Cyrus” in the
ancient Hebrew language was Koresh. Let us look into some portions of this
prophecy. The first promise regarding ancient Cyrus, is the fact that God
[YHVH]
calls
Koresh, “His Messiah”.
We read;
“Thus says the LORD to His anointed (His
Messiah), To Cyrus [Koresh], whose right hand I have held.”
– “(Isaiah 45:1)
The word for
“anointed” in the original Hebrew used here, in this text, is found in
the Strongs
Concordance and is Hebrew word number 4899. It is the title “mashiyach” – messiah. Some more things
that God has to say about a Latter-Day Cyrus (Koresh) are;
“I will
give you the treasures of darkness, And hidden riches of secret
places.” – (Isaiah 45:3)
“For Jocob my
servants sake, and Israel mine elect, I have
even called thee by thy name: I have SURNAMED (Last named) thee (Koresh), though thou hast not known me.” – (Isaiah 45:4)
(KJV has it correct with the earlier manuscripts)
Interesting
to note here that the first Cyrus, which saved Israel from a rugged captivity
had the first name as Cyrus….
but now, the idea is, that this prophecy has a dual fulfillment.
Just as many of you know that the ancient Elijah prophecies have dual
fulfillments.
Jesus says; “Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom
of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new
and old.” (Matthew13:52)
We find that
the only name that God calls Cyrus is Koresh (in Hebrew). In the Strongs
Concordance the name “Koresh”
is shown to mean “death”. What does this all mean? Stay with me here and
listen carefully, this is extremely important to know. As we read along in this
Koreshian
Prophecy, we read the following statement of Yah-Weh;
“Thus
says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his maker; “Ask me of things CONCERNING
MY SONS; And concerning the work of my hands.” – (Isaiah 45:11) (Again, the KJV has
it accurate here.)
Here God is
talking about Cyrus and gives us a “parenthetical prophetic statement” concerning the idea of
not just one Cyrus, but two.
The future person would have the LAST NAME as KORESH. Now notice, in Isaiah
44:28 that God calls Koresh “His Shepherd”. God also calls Koresh “His Messiah”
in Isaiah 45:1. Is
there a future person spoken of, which is to come, by a “first name”,
who was also called a “Messiah” and
is also called God’s “Shepherd”? Yes.
There is. This future person which has the same exact titles, is revealed as
the Latter-Day (Future) David. God
tells us of only ONE latter-day “shepherd” and “anointed” which He shall send
in the “last days” (After Jesus Christ had ascended back to heaven – Hosea
3:4,5).
God says; “I
will establish ONE SHEPHERD
over them, (the tribulation remnant) and he shall feed them (“feeding”
the Seventh Message – “them” is actually
both the last remnant church and tribulation saints) – My SERVANT DAVID. He shall feed them (feed
them the pure Davidian Message) and be their SHEPHERD.
And I, the LORD, will be their God, AND MY
SERVANT DAVID A PRINCE AMONG THEM; I the LORD, have spoken.”
– Isaiah 34:23,24 (Notice, this is an unconditional promise – it will happen.)
So, the
144,000 are preparing to meet this, David! They must be sealed before “seeking” for this special David Koresh to come
forth, which will happen after the Rapture.
He will be of the 12,000 sealed from the Tribe of Judah. All of
this may be hard for some of you to understand right away, this is normal. The
Church has a lot of catching up to do, but God promises us;
“In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.” –
(Jeramiah 23:28)

We have much
more to reveal regarding this important message. Let us continue.
Church History must be
Understood
In this Seventh Church
Period, that of Laodicea,
we are to seek out the “gold refined [tried] by fire” that we might become “spiritually rich” and “clothed in
pure white clothes” - no false doctrine allowed - spiritually pure doctrine only. (Revelation 3:14-22)
We must remain “the light of the world”.
(1st Thess. 5:5)
The Bible
says; “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for SOUND DOCTRINE.”
(Titus 2:1)
Unfortunately,
the Laodicean church is the picture of the Christian Church today. (Revelation 3:14-22) In the book of
Revelation Jesus shows us seven churches, each church is given specific counsel
to heed (learn/obey). These seven churches
typify the condition of the Christian Church throughout our space/time
continuum. All mysteries outlined in “sevens” mentioned in the book
of Revelation are progressive in
their unfolding (the septenary
mysteries). This includes the
counsel to the “seven churches”.
“And the
words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified Seven
Times.” (Psalm 12:6)
The problems
expressed in all seven churches overlaps into the next church period, so all
counsel to the seven churches is relevant even today, to one degree or
another. Predominately the Christian Church as of 1900 AD (CE) is in the
seventh church period, that of Laodicea.
Above: Eric William King in Ancient Antiochene Library Room
Antiochene Church Records
(We were first called “Christians” in Antioch – Acts 11:26)
Early Antiochene Church records show that the
Antiochene church understood the seven churches of Revelation ch.2-3 to
represent consecutive periods in ecclesiastical history. One of our
earliest records of this understanding can be found in the words of martyr Victorinus, Bishop Pettau (303AD). A
current conservative list which shows what time period each church has
dominated could be listed as such:
The Seven Churches and
the dates of their consecutive periods….
Ephesus – apostolic church (AD 30 – 100)
Smyrna –persecuted church (AD 100-313)
Pergamos – patristic period/formation of state
church (AD 313-590)
Thyatira – papal church (AD 590-1517)
Sardis – reformed church/protestant movement
(AD 1517-1730)
Philadelphia – missionary & denominational
churches increase & the Industrial Age starts at the end of this
epoch – materialism epoch starts at 1900 (AD 1730 – 1900)
Laodicea – apostate church/time of the
“Whirlwind Prophecy” & “7th Message” – materialism, computer,
A.I. epoch = “sleeping church” (AD1900-?)
When John the
apostle wrote the book of Revelation (AD 95-96) there were way more than just
these seven churches in existence but God chose these seven as examples, as
pictures of the church in and throughout time. Christianity was
already 60 years old when John wrote the book of Revelation. The Jewish system
had already received its destruction in AD 70. Now John was shown the future direction of the Church - typified in and through seven churches.
As of the year 1900 AD we have entered the seventh and final phase
of the church – the seventh church period known as the Laodicean Era. (this based on the
historic records of the church)
Now, some of the evidence is in. Can you begin to see and understand
the importance of the purity of our doctrine? Let us get an overview of
our basic understanding of the Bible:
We must Trust God Alone
As
true Christians we have learned that we can never put all of our hopes in human
efforts to bring ultimate peace and utopia. Until Jesus Christ returns, we
will always have sin in this world. War, crime, pollution, poverty, and other
issues will always be the challenge to overcome but not without the help of God
– Divine Intelligence.
When Jesus Christ came here, He legitimately offered the Messianic Kingdom to literal Israel
(Matthew 11:1-6; Luke 17:20-21). They rejected their King and Jesus went to the
cross for
all of us (Matthew 27:23; Luke 23:38). Jesus built His church which is the “kingdom in mystery” (Matthew 16:18; Mark
4:11), it is a time when the Kingdom Members (Christians) are still living on fallen planet earth yet they remain
“one body” (Ephesians 4:4-6) of believers, the Kingdom as the
Church (Ephesians 3:4-5, 10). We serve a God of relationship. Through the Church we are also experiencing
God in relationship.
God is a Family. A true Christian family
is very important to God.
The Christian Church is calling all to come into the Kingdom of
God (John
3:16). When you become a true Christian, you become a kingdom
member (John 1:12-13). If you die your spirit/soul goes to heaven [Paradise]
where our King is, Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:23-24). If you (as a Christian) are still here on
planet Earth when Jesus returns for His church you will be “caught up” to meet Him in the “air”
in your new resurrected body (1 Thessalonians 4:17-18).
So, as Christians we now are blessed by being
legitimate Kingdom Members (Having accepted the
counsel to Laodicea), family members of God (Ephesians 1:3; Philippians 3:20). Jesus
is already our King and is seated at the “right hand” of God the Father
on the Eternal
Throne [in
Heaven] and from this throne He rules His church (Luke 22:69). When He leaves this
throne, He will descend to sit on the Davidic Throne and from
there He will literally rule literal Israel from a renewed planet Earth for 1000
years (Acts 3:19-23; Matthew 19:28).
Christians are ambassadors of this Awesome Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20-21). They have the final message
for this fallen planet.
True Christians are heeding the counsel that Jesus gave to the Laodicean Church, that counsel is the Seventh Message.
Note:
The entire document that you are reading (The Seventh Message) contains posted
information from many older articles and is in fact a compilation of Mr. King’s
past and recent articles. Some sentences and leading paragraphs have been added
to bring the information together better.
Our first parents (Adam & Eve) lost Paradise because of their sins. Mankind has longed to return to
Paradise on Earth. Through Jesus Christ, our relationship with God is restored
and eventually so is Paradise on Earth.
First, Jesus came and offered the promised Messianic Kingdom. It was rejected and
Jesus died for our sins.
Next, Jesus built His church and empowered it with the Holy Spirit to proclaim the coming
Kingdom and invite people into God’s kingdom (now inviting all people not just
literal Israel). The Christian Church is what we call “the kingdom in mystery”, not yet complete but on
a mission.
Jesus will come back to get the last part (remnant) of His church right
before the last and Great Tribulational period of our current system (1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1
Thessalonians 4:17-18). Once this planet is judged Jesus and His church will
return to help renew the earth (Psalm 104:30; Isaiah 55:17-25). Those who
have survived the Great Tribulation will enter a new dispensation of time and a
‘New Age’ called the Millennial Earth Period (Revelation 20:6; Matthew 25:34). This will be the final
dispensation of our current space/time continuum, the Seventh.
The Remnant Church is sounding out loud!
They are sharing the Seventh Message!
The main thrust of the Gospel Message centers on the Kingship of
Jesus and His coming Kingdom. We serve a covenantial God and God has
continued to prove the reality of His existence through prophecy (which
involves relationship). The entire Bible testifies to the Kingdom of God which
will include the Millennial Kingdom and fulfill all the Davidian prophecies (Isaiah
55:11; Psalm 89:34-37; Amos 9:11-12).
A Renewed Planet Earth
The true “Modern” Followers of Jesus Christ are proclaiming this Davidic
Kingdom even now (Acts 19:8) and they are also praying for it to come (Luke
11:2; 21:31). Jesus empowered His church to go into the entire world with
this redeeming message (Acts 1:6-8; Matthew 28:18-20).
Many resurrected and glorified Christians since Jesus first built
His church will assist those human families that will be left after the Great
Tribulation (Isaiah 65:21; Revelation 5:10; Matthew 19:28). The Christian Church will participate in
training humans during the Millennial Kingdom. (Revelation 2:26-29; 1 Corinthians 6:2-3; Obadiah 21;
Jeremiah 23:4; Isaiah 65:17-25)
Think about how awesome our God is! First, He saves us
and trains us, raises us up. Then He allows us to participate, during the
Millennium and throughout eternity, in helping others by using the knowledge
that He has shown and given us.
At the end of the 1000-year kingdom there will come a conclusion
called the “Great
White Throne Judgment” (Revelation 20:7; 11-15). All evil will be destroyed and a
completely NEW CREATION of all dimensions will occur – space and time as we
know it shall end. This is called the “Age of the Ages” (Revelation 21:1; 1
Corinthians 15:26-28). A complete new spiritual planet and universe. This will be our eternal
abode beyond any comprehension (Revelation 21:3-4; Isaiah 55:8-9).
The Coming War & Strife
It is true that the Bible teaches that there is a conflict coming
before the second coming of Jesus Christ and perhaps before the “rapture” of the Christian Church
(Such as the conflicts we are experiencing now). There are “signs in the heavens” which means that even
the church may be here to witness some major heavenly signs or something
hitting the earth. Demonic UFO activity will increase. Also, there is the
Middle Eastern war prophesied, called the “War of Gog and Magog”. Christians may
witness this war start before the rapture of the church. It probably will
occur in Three Phases. (In fact, we are
experiencing its beginning now.)
We know that Satan [the Supreme Enemy] has a “seed” that is
fighting against true Christianity. The “tares” will continue to try and
destroy God’s true people. They follow “the way of Cain” (false religion or no
religion) and are thus Kenites.
Note: Please take time out to read my other important articles
regarding the Kenites. Also, watch my lectures about the Kenites. (Nugget of
Truth) – Eric King
There are many terrible things that could happen between now and
the rapture of the church but we are not to focus on these things. There have
been “Blood
Moon”
signs and major weather changes coupled with mega storms. We should
expect major
earthquakes &
volcanic action also. Again, we are not to be overly concerned. We will continue
to witness the truthfulness of God’s word.
Having a Happy Future
God
promises all of His true children lasting happiness within the best of all that
is or ever shall be – this is no mere dream. God has provided His
creation with instructions – the Word of God. God’s word contains
the Truth and the message of Everlasting Life.
The
Bible teaches that “faith comes through hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
(Romans 10:17) So it is up to the True Christians to speak this message OUT
LOAD!
Jesus
prayed to God the Father; “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17:3) God
wants to give you a relationship that will last into eternity. God has
helped lead humanity throughout all the dispensations of time. Just as a
child may go through different grades in school so has God lead humanity. From
our first human parents, we count Seven Major Dispensation Periods given
to us in Scripture - we are in the sixth.
God has
left so much beauty on this planet. We have taken advantage of most all the
things we have. While here, as Christians we are to enjoy this planet with
God’s love. We are to help take care of this planet but we also realize that
this planet will soon come to an end as we know it. This makes us take nothing
for granted.
The
most important message that this planet has is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A true Christian, in God’s hands, has
nothing to be anxious or fearful about. The message of the Gospel will save the
most utterly lost soul. All you are asked to do is believe.
It is
my wish that you would continue to gain the accurate knowledge of God through
His word and His church. God’s word gives us guidance through our daily lives
and into eternity.
As
God’s people we embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are “born again”
citizens of Christ’s Kingdom here on earth. We have a job to do. We are to
serve our King. We are ambassadors of God’s kingdom. Jesus instructs us to
“seek his kingdom”. My prayer is that you would truly begin to seek for that
kingdom.
Let us
begin to understand that God’s true church may yet experience many troubles,
before the rapture. All of what you are reading is extremely important.

Pre-Rapture Heavenly Signs
The Bible
talks about the “Great Day of the Lord”. This is a
reference to the Tribulation Period
which will last exactly seven years. (Daniel 9:27) It will usher in the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ….and “a day to the Lord
is as a thousand years”. (2 Peter 3:8) So the Tribulation Period is the introduction
to a New Day of a Thousand Years.
Pre-tribulational rapture Christians must understand that
the pre-rapture saints will still see
and are seeing, trouble. (Luke 21:28) We call this Pre-Rapture Trouble.
This trouble happens before the Tribulation, before the “dreadful day of the Lord.” (Joel 2:31)
God informs
us all; “I
will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire
and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and
the moon
to blood before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” – Before the Tribulation (Joel 2:30-31)
In this year
(2020) the west coast of the United States is certainly experiencing “fire and billows
of smoke”. Much of the United States is experiencing mass fires, drought, and in the east coast much flooding and major hurricanes.
We have also witnessed Four Blood Moons. Our moon turns the
color of blood-red during a full lunar
eclipse because of the way the sunlight is bent through our atmosphere and
reflects onto the moon.
The Four Blood Moons
The last four
blood-moons that our planet experienced fell on key dates and were divided (2 & 2) by a full Solar Eclipse (“sun turned to darkness”). These spectacular signs are
listed as such:
1-Blood Moon occurred on “Passover”,
April 15th 2014
2-Blood Moon occurred on “Feast of
Tabernacles”, October 8th 2014
*Total Solar Eclipse occurred on March
20th 2015
3-Blood Moon occurred on “Passover”,
April 4th 2015
4-Blood Moon occurred on “Feast of
Tabernacles”, September 28th 2015
Also, what
most people are not talking about as far as “signs in the heavens” is the fact that our moon is moving one inch
away from our planet in its elliptical orbit every year. What most do not
realize is the fact that this is affecting our jet-stream and our four seasons.
We here at “The Shepherds Way” have been warning about
this phenomenon since 2017.
Luke ch.21 – Pre-Rapture
Trouble
God is indeed sending wake-up calls to
His sleeping (Laodicean – Rev. 3:14-22)
church during this year (2023). Are we listening? In the gospel of Luke chapter
twenty-one we have an outline of Pre-Rapture Trouble. In Matthew ch.24 &
Mark ch.13 we have an outline of the Seven Year Tribulational Period yet in Luke ch.21 we have a description
of troubles which are to happen before the rapture of the Church (They are happening now). These could be
outlined as such;
1-Extreme
Christian persecution in the United States & Great Briton (Luke 21:12-19)
2-Beginning
of the World War of Gog & Magog – Russia at war. (Ezekiel ch.38; Luke 21:8-11)
3-Jerusalem
surrounded by armies getting ready to be attacked (Gog-Magog war; Luke 21:20-24)
4-Signs in
the heavens – extreme weather changes and anxiety,
panic (Luke 21:25-28)
God informs His Pre-Rapture saints: “When these things
begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption [the rapture] is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28)
Are we seeing some of these signs? Indeed, we are! The
rapture of the Christian Church is imminent. We must be like the Five Wise Virgins who were watching
and waiting (“waiting” for
more and more
LIGHT from God’s Word) ready to enter “the wedding feast”. (Matthew 25:1-13)
The other five virgins were “left behind” (not raptured) because they were
not paying attention.
God will save
His true saints from the great time of His wrath. “For God did not appoint us to
suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(1
Thessalonians 5:9; 1st Thess. 1:10; Rom.5:9; Rev. 3:10; Heb. 9:28)
Things We Will
Experience Review
1-Jesus warned that persecution would
increase with all Christians around the globe including in Great Briton and the
United States. We will begin to witness this through anti-Christian legislation
and public protests. (Matthew
10:16-23; 1st Peter 4:1-6)
2-We may experience the first phase of
the “War of Gog & Magog” which will be when Russia will assist
predominantly Muslim countries to back an offense against geographical Israel
(We are witnessing this happen now). This first phase may not be when God
supernaturally intervenes but will be the precursor to the 2nd phase
of “Gog & Magog” which will happen under the final Anti-Christ. It will be
horrible, none-the-less. The final 3rd phase of “Gog & Magog”
will be at the end of the Millennial Kingdom described in the book of
Revelation. (Ezekiel 38:1-23;
39:1-13; Luke 21:20 – Luke’s gospel is referring to Gog & Magog, not the
Tribulation.)
3-Increase in large earthquakes will
begin soon. We will witness huge earthquakes that shall cause incredible
damages on large scales. Also, some mighty Volcanic activity. (Matthew 24:78)
4-Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars will
increase. We have already documented the latest “Four Blood Moons” and their
prophetical implications. Many more of these heavenly signs are now
occurring. The moon is moving an inch away from Earth every year. This is
causing most all of the extreme weather changes and unpredictable jet-stream
changes. Weather will continue to get more radical. The Bible also states that
heavenly bodies (including the Earth) shall be “shaken out of their places.”
The Japan tsunami caused the Earth to wobble and slightly speed up. This is
also changing weather patterns. (Luke 21:25-26; Joel 2:30-31)
5-Religious and race wars shall
increase. Jesus warned that “ethnos against ethnos” would in fact increase (We
are witnessing this now.). This will increase political turmoil which sadly
will allow “bigger government” and rapid moves to the One World Order which
will fully materialize under the Final Anti-Christ. (Matthew 24:7 – the Greek here is “ethnos against ethnos”)
These are
five major signs. We will also witness increased terror attacks and perhaps
some large objects fall from the heavens. Talk about a one world currency will also increase. The current
pandemic is also a warning sign from God. The church needs to remain awake,
aware and alert during these last
times. The church dispensation will end with the Rapture of the Christian
Church. Only those who have been watching and living their faith (Accepting the Seventh Message) will be
able to escape the greater wrath which is to come (Matthew 25:1-13)
The
church is living to witness the five events which I have just listed.
All of these things are happening before the Rapture of the Church.
Going through
Pre-Rapture trouble
Many of us
are feeling anxiety today due to
experiencing the pre-rapture trouble. When we watch the
news there is so much uncertainty. People have lost hours at work and many have
lost their jobs. As Christians we have something in the midst of all of this
that non-believers do not have. We
have hope and we have peace – shalom!
We read in
the prophet Isaiah - the Lord says; “In repentance and rest is your
salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…”
Sadly, God
goes on to say that many refuse this. Many people including Christians who are
out of fellowship with God will never find the strength and peace through these
times if they are not honest with
themselves and God. We need to repent
daily and watch how we think and let
the Holy Spirit control all of our thoughts.
In
Philippians 4:6 we are also told to make known all of
our needs and wants. Having a personal relationship with God also
means that we read His word and let Him talk
back to us. Finding true rest in times of trouble means trusting in the Lord and bringing Him into your trouble through
prayer. Even when it feels like He is not listening He is, He is always working behind the scenes.
We are told
to dwell in “the secret place of the Lord”. That inner Sabbath
is found in knowing that God sees everything that you are going through and
everything that you are experiencing. As Christians we understand that our spirit and soul need proper nourishment and this means that we eat from “the bread of Life” daily. To be spiritually strong enough
to go through, we must eat right and rest right.
Many a times we
“walk
through the shadow of death” knowing that we made it because of the Lord
(Psalm 23:4).
God’s true people are called “the protected ones”. This does not mean that we will
never feel pain, loss, hurt and even death. As Christians if we suffer, we realize
that it is to make us stronger and
this doctrine is not accepted by the world’s standards. We can have ultimate
peace when we look at Jesus Christ on the cross who took away our sins and
paved the way for us to go be with Him forever.
The grace and love of Jesus Christ is
real. You can
experience a true relationship with your Creator. He has given us so many things
including His word. I would challenge you to remove all the “toxic”
relationships from your life, people who refuse to understand you as a
Christian or at least accept you for who you are – let them go. Bad company spoils good manners.
We can
never create a “perfect” environment
down here but we can learn to navigate through this fallen world with the help
of Jesus Christ who lives inside of all true Christians. Praise the Lord and be thankful every
day for your life and the things that He has provided. When bad thoughts or
depression try and wedge their way in then stop, pray, and thank the Lord.
Think on good things and begin to realize that you are here just passing
through into something much, much greater – you are headed towards the Kingdom of God.
My
prayer for you today is that you find the true
rest in Jesus Christ our Lord.

From: Eric William King – “Teacher of the Seven Seals”
I have been given the
understanding of these doctrines through and by the grace of our King, Jesus
Christ. I have tried to keep it simple and allow the students to fill in the
gaps. Many of these teachings were known
by the early Antiochene church and are now – with much more detail - in
this time becoming clearer (November, Sunday the 19th 2023). They
are being revealed anew to the last-day
Church. There is much more to this last Laodician Message but these portions
are the important parts – condensed and taken from recent and past articles. Today’s
Christian Church has fallen asleep and it is my prayer that this eschatological
paper will help awaken my fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. Behold, the Day of the Lord is nearby! ~

More Teachings to Ponder
Israel Today
Remain Teachable Laodicea
AWAKE!
Unfortunately,
just as many ancient Israelites rejected the prophets, many today say to us;
“Keep your doctrines to yourself. I am satisfied (lukewarm) with my religion
and I reject your deception.” So, they remain unteachable.
True Israel is Ephraim & Manasseh
By Eric William King
It
was on Joseph’s two sons [Ephraim
& Manasseh] that the name Israel
was given. Jacob when blessing them stated; “Let my name [Israel] be on them.”
(Genesis
48:16) He did not give this name to Judah or any other tribe – This name
was to be upon them [Ephraim & Manasseh] “in the last days” (Genesis 49:1).
Part of
Ephraim’s blessing was to develop a “Multitude of Nations” or we could say
“group of nations”.
Where is this fulfillment today? Ephraim
was the younger of the two sons of Joseph. Manasseh’s
descendants were to become a “great people” or a “Great Nation”.
Where is this Great Nation today?
Together they both comprise true Israel. These promises have never been
fulfilled in the Jews. Joseph gave these promises to his grandchildren who were
the two sons of Joseph. We are to
look for the fulfillment of these promises in the “House of Joseph” and not the “House of Judah”.
Each tribe was given a special blessing by Jacob and we are not to blend or confuse each one of these
blessings.
The tribes
of Ephraim and Manasseh never
fulfilled these blessings in Bible times. Due to Israel’s rebellion and falling into pagan
worship caused the delay of these blessings. Israel’s sin caused Judah to
separate from Israel and become a separate nation that at one time, wanted to
war with Israel. As a matter of fact, Israel
and Judah have been separated
since this ancient split. To read from your own Bible about the split of Israel and Judah (Jews) read all of 1st Kings chapter twelve.
We read the
fact that Israel and Judah stayed separate and had their own kings. The capitol of Judea was the city of Jerusalem and the capital of Israel was Samaria. When we read about Samaria in
prophecy it is always a reference to Israel and not Judah. Even though geographical Israel became again a
legitimate nation (old Israel which included Jerusalem) on May
14th 1948 the fact is, literal Israel (originally headed
by Ephraim & Manasseh’s descendants) remains separate from Judah and will
until the great ingathering at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (When the 144,000 begin “the gathering”.]
When Israel
of old separated from Judah we find that Jeroboam
became the head of Israel. Jeroboam was in fact an Ephraimite. This
fulfilled part of the blessing which Jacob gave to Ephraim when he told him
that his name [Israel] would be upon him (Genesis 48:16).
Eventually
Israel was carried away out of their own land. They completely separated from
the Jews. The “House of Israel”
and the “House of Judah” are
still two separate “houses” today. In
the last days, at the second coming
God promises to join them back together again (Ezekiel 37:11-27). The “two sticks”
will again be joined and become one.
The Ten Tribes of Israel
Migrated
When we say
Israel, sometimes we include all twelve tribes because Israel (Jacob) is the
father of all twelve tribes. In this sense, of course all twelve tribes make up
literal Israel. If you look in the back of your Bible you might find a map that
shows that Judea (Jews) and Israel were once completely different nations.
Some from the
other tribes went back to Jerusalem but the main portion of the other ten
tribes eventually migrated over the Caucus Mountains and
spread throughout Europe when Assyria invaded them. So, much of literal Israel
lost its identity through captivity. The ancient ten tribes have become lost to
the secular historians but not to God. God says through Amos the prophet;
“Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are
on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth; yet I
will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,’ says the Lord. ‘For surely I
will command, and will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as grain is
sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.” (Amos
9:8-9)
What does all of this mean?
Not all
twelve tribes come from the same mother so DNA
would be different amongst the tribes. All of this is fascinating to think
about. Most Christians don’t contemplate such things. To me and most Christians
we realize that ALL Scripture is important so understanding what
happened to ancient Israel contains moral lessons for us as well as historical
facts about who we are today as Christians.
To the Ancient Antiochene Church this subject is
extremely guarded and important to properly understand. As a teacher and Elder of Ancient Antiochene
Theology I must say that I do not ever want to be thrown into the
camp of most all those supposed
Christians who teach what has become known as “Anglo-Israelism”.
Why? Unfortunately, most of the groups
teaching it today are “cults” or “border-line cults”.
Most of them
reject the proper doctrine of the Deity of Jesus
Christ, they reject the proper understanding of Baptism and
the Lord’s Supper, they reject the early and
proper Patristic eschatological truths, and many
other things they heretically teach.
Unfortunately,
many of them are also Judaizers. They are Kenites
teaching that Christians must keep the Mosaic Covenant
“feast days” and special “Sabbath days”, “food laws” and they teach a legalism that
is quite frankly, Satanic.
Having stated
that; one group teaches that they invented the ancient doctrine about the Kenites. They state that this is
original with them and their group. Wrong! Ancient Hebrew Rabbis and many ancient Christian records show that the
doctrine regarding the Kenites is very old and connected to the early Antiochene Church. We have other articles which document
these issues.
So, what is True
Anglo-Israelism?
There are
many good Christians who have written properly on the subject of
Anglo-Israelism and we have many of their works in our Ancient
Antiochene Libraries. This sacred and very important teaching has
existed here in the United States since the beginning of this
nation. It was in fact understood by our early presidents and became somewhat
popularized more than a century ago. It
is a highly protected doctrine.
It became
somewhat popular in England
just after the Elizabethan era. Here in
America, some early teachers of this doctrine were James Lovell and Howard Rand.
Though both of them had no direct connection to the original Antiochene
teachings of this doctrine they did have much of it properly understood. Some
of their understandings were however incorrect
and this has led many to reject the doctrine or twist it to mean things that are not true.
When the
doctrine is properly taught from Scripture and from the earliest historical records it comes into its proper light. One
of the dangers of wrongfully teaching this doctrine results in extreme nationalism - and its distortion for
some has unfortunately resulted in racism.
This is most unfortunate. This is why this doctrine must be taught properly
or not taught at all.
We reject Herbert W. Armstrong’s teachings of this
doctrine in many areas. He was the founder of “The
Worldwide Church of God” and they are a cult. Also, their many offshoots which still exist today teach heretical doctrines (such as legalism)
and should be ignored and rejected.
The true sacred doctrine of Anglo-Israelism is the
teaching that the so called “lost ten tribes of Israel” migrated over the Caucus Mountains and are the Anglo-Saxon races which currently reside predominately in Great Britain and the United States of America.
*Our Ancient Antiochene manuscripts can properly document
this. ~
The so called Ten Lost
Tribes of Israel
Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel) had twelve sons and only one of
those sons produced the Jewish people - when
we get technical. Jews are literally from the tribe of Judea. Apostle Paul
was a Benjamite from the tribe of Benjamin who converted to Judaism which, back then, was the
religious sect of Pharisaism
(Galatians 1:13). The tribe of Judah created the “Pharisees”.
Jacob had
twelve sons and a daughter by his wives and their maids (Genesis ch.29-39). His father was Isaac and
his mother, Rebecca. Jacob was a twin brother; his
brother’s name was Esau. Jacob becomes the patronymic of Israelites.
Since May 14th
1948 Israel again became a legitimate nation and many Jews have returned to
their own land. This was a great and
glorious fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. God promised the restoration of
the nation of Israel. Today when we think of Jewish people, we lump all the 12
original tribes together and call them all “Jew”. It is true that all twelve
tribes have now been categorized generically as ‘Jews’.
When we go
strictly by Sola Scriptura (the Word of God alone) we see
a very different picture developing. Really only those from the tribe of Judah
make up the literal Jewish people. So, what happened to the other eleven
tribes? When we read our Bible’s, we find that when the Kingdom of Israel split
Judah and Benjamin along with some Levites formed the Southern kingdom called Judea and the rest of the tribes formed Israel
(the northern kingdom). ~
So
technically speaking, after the split Israelites
are NOT Jews. The Jews remained in Jerusalem (Judah).
When we say
Israel sometimes, we include all twelve tribes because Israel (Jacob) is the
father of all twelve tribes. In this sense of course all twelve tribes make up
literal Israel. If you look in the back of your Bible you might find a map that
shows that Judea (Jews) and Israel were once completely different nations.
Some from the
other tribes went back to Jerusalem but the main portion of the other ten
tribes eventually migrated over the Caucus Mountains and
spread throughout Europe right before the Assyrians invaded the
northern kingdom. So, much of literal Israel also lost its identity through
captivity. The ancient ten tribes have become lost to the secular historians
but not to God. God says through Amos the prophet;
“Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are
on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth; yet I
will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,’ says the Lord. ‘For surely I
will command, and will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as grain is
sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.” (Amos
9:8-9)
The House of Joseph & Judah Today
Joseph is one tribe and Judea another: Where did the House
of Joseph go in the historical records? Where did the House of David (Judah) go after the death
of King Zedekiah? Did the Davidic throne
vanish? Many Bible students have been taught that it simply disappeared into the ancient etheric-fog of history but is that
Biblical?
What
does the Bible say about the throne of David and Israel? God in His covenant with Abraham guaranteed a perpetual
national existence of Israel…but we also find that their geographical location was promised to change; they were to resettle some
place outside of literal Jerusalem. We read;
The LORD
promised regarding Israel; “Moreover I will appoint a
place for my people O Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a
place of their own, and move no more; nether shall the children of wickedness
afflict them anymore; as before time.” (2nd
Samuel 7:10)
The King
James renders this more accurately to the original Hebrew. Here God clearly
promises them a new land, outside
of Palestine – a future place where their enemies cannot disturb them like
in olden days. Basically, God is declaring; “I have selected a homeland for my
people from which they will never have to move. It will be their own land where the heathen nations won’t bother
them as they did when the judges ruled my people.” (Living Bible)
This decree
does not refer to Palestine, which is where Israel already was when this
promise was given. Also, this verse talks about a FUTURE “planting” of the
nation. Though geographical Israel was reestablished according to Bible
prophecy in 1948 they are still tormented
by their enemies and only the tribe of Judah
has returned and has become the puppets of the United Nations and their
surrounding enemies.
We learn that
the prophet Jeremiah has something to do
with the “re-planting” of Judea. (Jeremiah 1:10)
The people
Israel are not Judah and they were to be re-planted someplace else in future
years. Israel is Ephraim and Manasseh.
Have they been replanted and what about the blessing placed on them by Jacob?
Are they experiencing this “latter day” blessing mentioned in
Genesis chapter 49? Yes, they have been replanted and are experiencing those
blessings!
What of
Judah? Though many Jews have literally returned to geographical Israel
(Palestine) where is the promise of the “scepter which
should not part”, the kingly
line of Judah? Is that still here on planet Earth?
God promised
more than once that a kingly line would survive the “house of Judah” all the
way up until the Second Coming so that when Jesus Christ returns “the
House of David” can be handed over to Him for him to rule…which will
be the Millennial
Reign of Christ.
Gabriel
the angel promised Mother Mary;
“The Lord
God will
give him (Jesus) the throne of his father David.” (Luke 1:32-33) Was that
throne on planet earth when Jesus was here? Perhaps being protected some place?
Jesus told some of His disciples to seek out the lost of Israel (those outside
of Jerusalem) while He was here…. He also told the Jews in Jerusalem that He
had “other sheep, which are not of this
(strictly Judean) fold” those too He promised to re-gather. (John
10:16) God promises to restore all Twelve Tribes of Israel at the Second
Coming.
“The
people of Judah and the people of Israel will be reunited, and they will appoint
one leader (Jesus
Christ)
and they will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.”
(Hosea 1:11) (also Ezekiel 37:18-22)
Ephraim
(Great Briton) and Manasseh
(America) are still here experiencing
an identity crisis and have apostatized into great sin. The “throne of David”, the kingly line of Judah
is also still here in Ephraim being protected. We are living in the “last days”
right before the Rapture of the True Church.
My prayer is
that you trust God’s promises and Word in place of the world’s understandings
and teachings. We have an awesome God who remembers
all of His promises and keeps His Word. May all who study the Seventh
Message be blessed.
The Return of True
Israel
On May 14th 1948 (with events beginning on May 1st)
geographical Israel became a nation again…like the Bible
states, it was literally “born in a day”.
This fulfilled Bible prophecy. Israel had to become a literal nation again
before Jesus Christ returns. Jesus will return to Jerusalem. Now that Jerusalem
is established, He may return at any moment for His church.
Though Israel
is an “independent” nation it is still monitored by the United Nations and
inflicted by many of the “sons of Ishmael” (descendants of their
mother Hagar, progenitor of Arabs)
thus we are still experiencing “the times of the Gentiles” (Luke
21:24). Israel is prophesied to endure much more hardship before “the great and
dreadful Day of the Lord.”
When we read the Scriptures, we find that it was Israel which was to be
scattered, not Judea. Today many Jews have returned to geographical Israel, but
true Israel (the so called “lost Ten Tribes”) are still distant. Manasseh and
Ephraim still are living in their own lands. They are experiencing the
blessings given to them through their father Jacob.
Modern day Ephraim
and Manasseh are experiencing a great apostasy from the true Christian faith
and are thus being judged. America and all of Great Briton have turned away
from the Lord on a large scale. They
will only prosper again if the truly repent.
God warns; “If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to
be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if
that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not
inflict on it the disaster I had planned.” (Jeremiah 18:7)
The Migration of the Tribes
We find some
important history regarding the migration of the ten tribes found in the
“Book of 2nd Esdras” which was
written a century before the time of Jesus (Yeshua). We
read;
“Those ten tribes, which were carried
away prisoners out of their own land…and he [Shalmaneser], carried them over
waters, and so came they into another land. But they took this counsel
among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go
forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt…And they entered
into Euphrates by the narrow passages of the river.” (2nd Esdras
13:40-43)
Today these
tribes live predominately in the United
States and Great Briton. The
Christian Church is calling them in through the true Gospel Message. America and Great Briton has lost its
national identity due to the infiltration of paganism, drugs and cultural
confusion. The fruits of this reality are being witnessed in all the street
protests and riots. (Such as now in 2023)
It is sad to
witness the reality of a nation gone Godless. If the Christian Church does not
begin to learn the true history of its past and begin to return to the pure doctrinal
Truths of Holy Scripture,
we will witness even more suffering
and confusion.
This ministry
contains the Truth “tried
by the fire” and is offering the “golden nuggets of Truth” to the sheep which are longing to return to the Glory of God.
I pray that if you claim to be a true
Christian you begin to study here at “The
Shepherds Way” and begin, through prayer, to drink the clean “water of life” which comes from our
Lord, Jesus the Christ. Amen
Let us look at a lesson from the
past….;
Is the Third Dispensation being Repeated?
We need to
look at some of the things which were going on in the “Third Dispensation” which ended
with humanity building a “tower of pride” to reach the sky.
Today, as Christians, it is sad to witness a “stuck up” society of humans
almost everywhere. They have no “fear”
or “reverence” for their true Father,
The Creator -
Divine Intelligence.
Today the
Christian God is laughed at and scorned. In the early years of the United States adults had more values. Today, we hear 40- to 70-year-old
men and women talking like un-fathered
teenagers. They put toxins into their bodies, cuss, and curse, get involved
in modern paganism
or witchcraft
and spit on Christians. This is the fallen and sick world’s idea of “enlightenment”.
Even in
today’s paganism we see people putting faith in crystals or the latest book and or video offered by some talk show
host. The television reveals their sinful and childish language. So, this is
the same type of behavior which caused God to end the third dispensation. A
bunch of Biblically illiterate “adults” trying to run the planet.
They worship Creation
above the Creator
“For although they knew God, they
neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became
futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be
wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images
made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.” (Romans
1:21-23)
We
hear people today talking about “Mother
Earth”. Well, when you die and stand before your Creator
it won’t be this earth that you will stand before…as a matter of fact, you will
stand before the Intelligent Creator of
all material matter. His name is Yahweh.
People
who have no values and do not believe in “sin”, God has given them over to the
“desires of their hearts” (Jeremiah
17:9) to dishonor themselves among themselves.
Tower of Babel
Imagine you as a parent with children and
your children think that you do not exist. They have no personal relationship
with you. Instead, they play with all the toys
that you have placed before them not even recognizing that all that they have
has been given to them by you. This
is what God is staring at when He looks at the majority of humanity.
People have turned to false gods. The Bible
warns;
“The sorrows of those
will increase who run after other gods.” (Psalm 16:4) ~
The generations following the Great
Flood should have learned their lesson. Behind
them was the devastating lesson of what happens when the world turns far away
from the True God. When Noah got out of the ark, he built an altar and offered
a sacrifice to Almighty
God. God commanded he and his family to “be
fruitful and multiply and fill the earth”, this was the same commission given
to early humanity before “the Fall”.
Just about 325 years after the Great Flood
the people gathered together and built the Tower of Babel. God “came down”
and “confused their language”, He
scattered the people and made them again to “fill the earth”.
Since the Great Flood we have entered the Second Great Earth Age. We see the old mistakes of the previous dispensations
being repeated on a much larger scale today. As Christians we must learn from
the past and keep our eyes on Jesus Christ.
This is the basic origin of all the nations, tribes and
tongues of our planet. This dispensation (the 3rd) ended like the others;
it was a failure on man’s behalf because of sin. God shows over and over the
power of sin and points to the only way out, true salvation in the person of
Jesus the Christ.
Jesus Christ built His Church…” One Body”.
Avoiding Christian Sectarianism
Here at “The Shepherds Way” and “Nugget of Truth” we teach
what we call Ancient Antiochene Christianity.
We do not try and prop-up any Christian denomination or “independent” church. Our goal is to teach true Christianity testing
everything by the Word of God.
It is true
that we feel safe using the Seven Ancient Antiochene Rules of
Interpretation along with the background
and history of the early church –
mostly, the first 451 years of the Christian Church. All Christians who visit
this ministry can take from it what they believe God reveals to them. Our
research is aided by our Antiochene
Library and insight from many Bible
scholars.
Some of what
is taught here at TSW may seem strange and
odd to many American Christians who have been isolated from
the truth about early Christian history. This is why it is extremely important
to understand early Christian history. We begin to understand and see how the Holy Spirit led the early church through
2000 years of differing cultures and traditions. Even today Christianity has
taken on its own form right here in
the United States.
From its
earliest days Christianity has had to contend with false teachers and heretical
dogma. Apostle Paul warned about apostasy in almost all of his letters. It
is very important for today’s Christians to understand the times of the early
apostles and how the early Church dealt with specific heresies.
Apostate propaganda is spread all over the place.
It is up to each Christian to truly test the Truth’s presented to him or her.
When one reads the counsels given to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation one must understand the
cultural issues of these troubles and the early beliefs of those trying to
confuse Christians.
It is my hope
that this ministry (The Shepherds Way
& Nugget of Truth) will
inspire you to go deeper into God’s precious word and find the answers that you
are looking for. We will continue to teach,
preach, and most importantly LIVE the messages from God’s word
revealed to us.
May
God continue to bless your studies. Now, let us close this revelation with…
Lutheranism
& The Shepherds Way
I hate to come across as a Christian who is caught in an “ism”
(Calvinism, Lutheranism, etc.) however, I will admit that this ministry (“The Shepherds Way” –TSW) is in fact Confessional Lutheran in its salvation theology, not Calvinistic
(Though we do believe in ‘eternal security’). It was in early April of 2020
that I started confirming more openly that I am Lutheran in theology (was
raised a Lutheran). Having stated that, I also hold to a basic
dispensational/covenantial theology when dissecting the overall Bible. I also
accept what I call: “The Seventh Message”. So, some have called me a “Deranged Lutheran-Dispensationalist
- Davidian”.
This is what I mean about labeling Christians, I hate it. I
personally call my theology “Ancient Antiochene Theology” because I believe that it is the earliest
theology that was taught in the original church that was founded in Antioch.
Can I prove that? Well, I challenge you to study here and find out for
yourself.
Note: I have
been connected to some Greek Christians and Antiochene Christians which have
shared many mysteries with me. I have many pastor friends and connections to
good teachers. Indeed, I have been blessed to know many good theologians. I
have been blessed to study with many controversial groups and have even
belonged to a few of these groups at one time. Thank you to; You know who
you are.
So ultimately, I am a “Non-Denominational”
Christian.
As I believe all true Christians ultimately are. I urge all Christians to stay non-denominational. Christ’s
true church is not a denomination. Having stated that I don’t mind
being called a Lutheran Christian.
I have spent many years studying Scripture and have come through
many different denominations along the way, including some Christian cults.
Since October of 2017 I have come to a resting point in my search, though I am
still always learning. I believe that my research and long hours of study have
helped me come closer to the Lord. I realize that not everybody has the need or
urge to study in-depth like I have felt the need to do but I also believe that
it is my duty to share what I have learned over the years with my fellow
brothers and sisters in Christ…. hence, “The Shepherds Way” & “Nugget of Truth” ministry was created by
God’s grace.
I have had many supernatural experiences which have helped me learn how to trust in
God more. I thank God for His invisible guidance throughout my life.
It is my wish that if you are a Christian, you will ‘hang out’
here sometimes to get some interesting insight of the Christian message. I am
still growing in Christ and developing better understandings through staying in
the Word of God.
When I learn something and need to be corrected regarding an issue,
I pray that God will allow me to receive the corrections. I want to always stay teachable. I also have had to ‘take
down’ older talks that I had given regarding salvation because some of my older
talks were misleading, not thorough enough in explaining my faith in
light of my Lutheran Christianity experience.
I have been blessed to be able to share in a non-denominational
church and to learn from my fellow Christians there. I hope to continue to
share with you all as I continue to walk with the Lord. Thank you for visiting
me here – at Mt. Shiloh.

NOTE: I realize that most all Lutheran Christians ‘pick
on’ dispensational theology and say that the Patristic Fathers knew nothing of
it...wrong! Watch my video lectures regarding this issue - listed online,
to get educated. – Nugget of Truth: Eric

I have been given the
understanding of these doctrines through and by the grace of our King, Jesus
Christ. I have tried to keep it simple and allow the students to fill in the
gaps. Many of these teachings were known
by the early Antiochene church and are now – with much more detail - in
this time becoming clearer (November, Sunday the 19th
2023). They are being revealed anew to the
last-day Church. There is much more to this last Laodician Message but these
portions are the important parts – condensed and taken from recent and past
articles. Today’s Christian Church has fallen asleep and it is my prayer that
this eschatological paper will help awaken my fellow brothers and sisters in
Jesus Christ. Behold, the Day of the Lord
is nearby! ~ Eric William King
