Christians Invited to
the Revelation

People
who claim that Christianity “contains no mysteries” are very incorrect.
The Apostle Paul uses the word “mystery” and “mysteries” when he describes some
of the Christian teachings, especially those directly about Jesus Christ. Take
the “Book of Revelation” for
instance, this is a mystery book to almost all Christians. People don’t
understand it.
The Greek word
used; “Revelation” means to “unveil” to “reveal”. Jesus Himself states
that those who read the book and “keep” [understand] those things
written in it, will be blessed. Jesus gives special and direct counsel to Seven Churches. Every message in Revelation
that is listed in “sevens” is progressional. Thus, even the counsel to the
Seven Churches represents the Christian Church throughout time as it has
grown and changed and gone through many trials. In other words, the seven
churches cover seven epochs of time.
Jesus says to
all seven churches; “He who has an ear, let him hear.” Are we listening? We can
in fact understand the book of Revelation. Jesus Himself has opened this scroll
unto us. Each problem or praise announced for the churches has
something to do with what we should learn. Does your church teach these
important counsels and what they mean for us today? If not, why?
“The Ancient Antiochene Church of God” has been
teaching the Revelation of Jesus Christ and will continue, by God’s
grace and mercy, to do so. Though the “Book of Revelation” was written in 95 AD
its content contains prophetic information leading up all the way to the end of
our planet as we know it. Think that might be important?
People who say
that they “believe in Jesus” also need to realize what the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” truly is. He came
as a “humble lamb” the first time. He now officiates for us in heaven as
our High Priest. Yet, He is returning with garments drenched in blood and many
“crowns”. He comes to destroy the wicked, those who believe that they answer to
no-one.
The counsels to
the Seven Churches reveal the attitudes of the churches – what are they really
doing. Mainstream “Christians” do not care too much about “judgment”
issues. We are thankful to God for
revealing His message of this Revelation for us, His church. By studying the
true history of the Church and how God has led us, we begin to understand the
importance of these seven counsels and how they apply to us, the Church today.
Sadly, many of
todays Christians have spiritually “fallen asleep” in this giant
computer, high-tech, A.I. world. The “lukewarm” condition is prominent
in most denominations today. Church attendance is low partially because no
proper counsel is being given. True Christians are hungering for the depth of
God’s word. Pastors today are being rushed into their positions with no good
theological foundation to stand on.
Just as we have
predicted here at, “The Shepherds Way”
and the “Nugget of Truth”, true
Christians are starting to meet in small groups, in their own homes. Pastors
are still officiating and are needed. True Christianity is not a
“denomination”. Those who have been baptized in the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit and have received confirmation of their salvation in
Jesus Christ may join us, God’s Church. Our only true Chief Shepherd and
Overseer is God.
Having stated
that, it is still important to find a local church and go when you can. It just
might be that you find a healthy church, one who truly knows God’s word and
teaches it. People have been reporting that they purposely find churches with
“small attendance”. Why? The family spirit is more prominent there. Personal
relationships are healthier at smaller congregated churches. This is why small
house groups are better, if the Lord leads.
People who
study here print out articles for discussion in their groups. We also have many
Bible talks and lectures for all to learn from for absolutely free. Why not
give us a chance to help you understand your Bible? Sadly, many churches do not
want the depth of Bible studies that we give here. Humanity is hungering and
thirsting for more. We welcome all who want to truly know God.
Don’t give up,
remain in God’s word and amongst us, His people.
