Sabbath 28/02/42/120

Dear Friends,

Today is the Last Sabbath of the Second Month and two days to the New Moon of the Third Month. Today we are preparing for Pentecost and this is the 42nd Day of the Omer Count.  It is perhaps appropriate that we go back to the establishment of the church in 30 CE and the establishment and spread of the church so that we can get an idea of how and where we spread over the First Century and into the Second Century.  It is to be released this week for Pentecost as Establishment of the Church under the Seventy (No. 122D).  We were all chosen and predestined to be called as part of the elect as the Body of Christ in order to become Sons of God and part of the Elohim (cf The Elect as Elohim (No. 001)). We listed the paper last week as the Problem of Evil (No. 118) and why God allows such a problem to exist.  This week it is appropriate that we study the doctrine of Predestination (No. 296). We must understand that God chose us and predestined us through His Divine Omniscience to be called from before the foundation of the world as He predestined Christ to be sent to be the lamb slain from before the laying down or foundation of the world. He also predestined us to be called and He ordained our works before He formed us in the womb (Jer. 1:5). He is the One True God and He sent Jesus Christ, and understanding that and knowing them is eternal life (Jn. 17:3). (cf. Eternal Life (No. 133))

God is the One True God and He is Omniscient or all knowing, meaning, He has the knowledge of all true propositions. As Einstein said: “He does not play dice.” It is important in that regard that we understand the Deity of Christ (No. 147). Christ is not the One True God and has his attributes conferred on him by God. Many people want to make Christ the God in replacement of Eloah and vary in their doctrines into Polytheism or Sabbellianism and really want a superman as God rather than the One True God Eloah who created all things and by whom they exist (Job 38:4-7, Proverbs 30:4-5, Eph. 3:9 (RSV). The KJV is based on the Receptus and has the words “by Jesus Christ” added to v. 9, which is a forgery and omitted in the original texts, as Bullinger states in the Companion Bible notes).

It is important that we all understand our role and the future that lies ahead for all mankind. It is not God’s will that any flesh should perish (2Pet. 3:9) and that includes all of us. The process is one of training and education that we might all be saved. God has determined the sequence that will best suit the individual but He allows some to get ahead and then slip back into their allotted place, being called but not chosen. Only the elect are called to the First Resurrection (No. 143A) as they will not inhibit the training and preparation of mankind over the Millennium and the Second Resurrection and the Judgment of Krisis or correction. No one who believes in “heaven and hell,” and observes Sunday and the festivals of the pagan sun cults, is fit for the Kingdom of God (cf. Origins of Christmas and Easter (No. 235)). It is for this reason and the failure to observe God’s Laws and the elevation of Messiah to a coeternal god that two entire eras of the Churches of God, the Sardis and Laodicean, are selectively culled and the majority sent to the Second Resurrection (cf. Rev. chapter 3).

Those people were deceived by a treacherous ministry and they are to suffer because they allowed themselves to be deceived. Most were willfully blind and self righteous. Pray for them as they are deceived and need to be saved. However, they can only be saved if they wish to be saved and acknowledge their faults and sins. Use Pentecost and pray to call them out of their false systems and get rid of Hillel and their Ditheism (No. 076B) or Binitarianism and Trinitarianism (127B). None have ever kept a feast except by accident in their entire lives.

Pray for them.
