Until knowledge is increased
I have been wondering why I have been receiving such knowledge and understandings of it, such knowledge that requires me to write a book, a book with words which for many will be too hard for them to receive; even so, I find it a great responsibility, it weighs on me a bit, I daren’t get it wrong, or go beyond that which has been given me from God.---- Now I fear not, because I have been drawn to the book of Daniel Ch 12, and the scripture tells us that Daniel has just been given the Prophesy of that which will befall mankind, and it’s yet come, he’s been given Knowledge, and is told,V4. “And thou Daniel, close the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; until many are taught, and knowledge is increased.”---- Let’s understand this verse first: Daniel is told that no more of the subject will be given in his book, but during the time till the end, many will be taught, and knowledge will be increased; that will be accomplished by the time of the end. ---- My understanding is that God will allow just that in today’s times, and that’s exactly what is happening.
To back that up Look at V9 and 10 “And he said, go, Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time of the end. Many must be tested and thoroughly whitened, and tried with fire, and sanctified;”---“The time of the end” there is a time of the end, or era, or world of time, and the foundation of it started at the time of either the birth of or the start of the Ministry of Jesus the Christ, and the end came when Jesus was crucified, at that point another world of time started, it’s foundation being the Death and the resurrection of Jesus, and the end of that world of time will be on his return, then once matters have been addressed, another world of time comes in which is called the Millennium, and after that 1000 years period, world of time, following that, the end of that world will come when Jesus the Christ and the Saints who co-rule with him, will hand all over to God, and all will be immortal who survive. All elements of this earth will then dissolve. ---- During all these worlds of time and their endings, “Many must be tested and thoroughly whitened, and tried with fire, and sanctified”; scripture tells us, that people will become worthy to enter into God’s Kingdom, during all these times. So during these worlds of time, Knowledge and understanding of it will need to be increased as each world of time occurs; look at the second coming of Christ Jesus, an increase of Knowledge is required before and during the takeover of Jesus and the Saints, to rule the world of people and to Judge them, and there is much to know.

Foundation of a world
Before I go further on this subject, I would like to prove what I say about the use of the words “At the foundation of the world”. Because of these words, some teach that Jesus was in being, and with God at the time of the creation of the Planet Earth, in other words that Jesus pre-existed, that is an error they have. I teach that the words “At the foundation of a world” which is the correct Translation, (Of a world, and not the world) however it matters not which way it is said, the truth of the matter is that it means the start of a time, a period of time, you will see I have written much on the subject, but here’s an example of proof, and it’s taken from the original Greek Manuscripts, and from the book of Apocalypse or Revelation Ch13:8. “And all who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the scroll of the life of that lamb who was killed”. Can you see the relevance? We would have to have been alive in the days of the creation of the Planet Earth, to have our names written in the book of life; this of course is not possible, even considering we these days are judged in what we do with God’s word, since the New Covenant, and that is the foundation of a world that we live in today, we have Finished with the Mosaic world, and we now look towards the return of Christ, which will be the foundation of another world. Foundation meaning: - establishing basis, and not creation.
To continue----
Verse 7 has this statement: “When the dispersion is ended they shall know all these things.”----- The dispersion of the people Israel has been ending for some time now, hundreds of thousands of People Israel have been gathering back to the Holy land, and settling in permanently; many parts of the desert have been reclaimed, forests of trees have been planted, irrigation and water storage dams have been constructed, villages and family housing are expanding, everything is involved; many people from around the Planet have donated money to this cause; so has the dispersion ended in context, or is it ending over time? Well one thing I’m sure of, knowledge and understanding is increasing. Read on and see how none of the transgressors will understand, but the wise will understand. And that raises the question: will the churches in their apostate state be wise, or be those who transgress still? --- I’m trying to help! God pleads “Come out of her, my people, least ye fellowship with her sins, and partake of her Plagues.”--- “Her” is the apostate churches, the Mother of which sits on the beast of the book of Revelations, or Apocalypse, and her daughters are all those churches who sin, and in disobedience to God, are also called “Babylon”--- And they have to be in their Apostate state, which will last for an age, and until the return of Jesus, just as the scripture says, and they are fallen back, in their sins, It’s no secret, it’s glaringly obvious to all but the deceived, and that’s the big problem here deception! Confusion born of deception breeds delusion; is anyone of them going to listen to the correction from God? Are they waiting for God to personally give it to them? Then how can God give those ones correction if they are deceived, and unreachable, God has for many, many, years tried to reach them, but God says they won’t listen, and Jesus says, if they won’t listen to me, then they won’t listen to you either. And God says Let the transgressors transgress still. It sounds like God has resigned himself to the fate of these ones!—Come out churches! God says, “If they will enter my rest” think about it, and no, it doesn’t just apply to the blood line of the people Israel.

With open eyes and open mind, To be realistic, and looking at what is going on in the world now and in the past, and since the days God Gave us Jesus the Christ, Is it realistic to think that Christianity is what it should be according to Jesus? Is it obedient to God? Are the Churches in their Apostate state as according to God? We could soothsay and say, it could be worse, true, but it is bad now, and many Prophecies have happened and are happening now times, also many happenings at present are setting up towards Prophecy becoming manifest. No one can put a time on Prophecy happening, and one reason is because man takes a lot of persuading spiritually at times, scripture tells us these things; but the signs are that much has happened, and much is about to happen.
One very definite prophecy of God is that of the churches in Apostasy, yes definite! It can’t be disputed! Reason it out, it’s happening now, we can see the churches in their disobedient sin against God, we see it, no more reasoning needed! ---- Eyes open now? Can’t see it? Then contact me, it may be your last chance.
Come on out! Wake up! Open your eyes, and open your minds. Stop being party spirited, and seek God afresh; my website is for “Bringing people back to God” and what’s more it’s free to all! Yes everyone, Christian churches, their congregations, Non religious and religious alike, any religion, and that includes Idol worshippers. Don’t be scared of me or my teachings, what you need to be scared of is disobedience to God, and you should by now have noticed that my teachings are not towards disobedience to God, search my website, see if you can find one instance of disobedience to God, and if you think you have, then please contact me to discuss it. I’m only too pleased to be here for anyone. Come on you churches, we only have this time in the flesh to become worthy of God’s Kingdom, it’s too late when the flesh dies! And bring Apostasy to an end, bringing the thousands of your congregation into worthiness, and the reward for all. I have no copyright over God’s word, after all it’s not mine, just don’t alter it, God owns it. ---- Please read on.
Who will these churches listen to if not God or Jesus the Christ? Will they listen to an everyday person who lives in their time, or any time? Do they realise that God is giving an increase in Knowledge now times? ----- 1Cor 1:19 & Isa 29:14.
The question arises: to whom is God going to give the increase in knowledge? ------The scriptural answer is: to those who God considers worthy. --- Then it is written that “If you find such a man, then let your feet wear the steps of his door to hear him”, Just as written in the book of Ecclesiasticus Ch. 6:32-37. (Septuagint). Don’t take this lightly read it again, and think about the message in it! For too long many people have believed the churches which say, they are the only ones who God gives the knowledge and understanding to, that any increase or revelations of knowledge will be handed down by them to the people, that is if they see the need; then the question has to be asked, and reasoned with, does God do that with churches in their apostate state? Churches who teach disobedience to God, churches who are actually not inspired by the Holy Spirit of God? Churches which have come into being not by God, but by the will of man, and for ulterior motives? There is a very short reasoning advice I can provide for this: - God, not man, has taught me, if the churches were taught of God, and he gave them revelations of knowledge, and with the understandings of it, then they would teach the same as I; the Apostasy would not then exist, and the Prophecy of God would be wrong! So let’s reason with that now; the Prophecy of God is not wrong, and does exist! Now we can see that no more reasoning is required, and the question is well answered.

Churches that won’t change for the better
“They that fear the Lord will not disobey his word; and they that love him will keep his ways. They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well pleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the Law. And they that fear the lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight, saying, we will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy”.
“Seek not out the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength. But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence; for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret. Be not curious in unnecessary matters; for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand. For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.”
“A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth danger shall perish therein. An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin. In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of the wickedness hath taken root in him. The heart of the prudent will understand parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man”--
-------These things are written.
A church that won’t change its teachings which are in error, and if they are teaching disobedience to God, is therefore to the detriment of its congregation, in as far as Eternal Life matters are concerned, then that church is very dangerous indeed, God calls them Murderers, because they stop people from entering into eternal life, called “The Life”, Read 1 John.3:15 and John 8:43-44,and there are more places,-- disobedience to God inevitably results in not being found worthy of God’s Kingdom; all should know, that if someone is not found worthy to enter God’s Kingdom, then the alternative is to be Eternally apart from God, and with that comes eternal torment, called “The Death”; some people think The Death means that you die and that’s it, that there is nothing more, finished with, No! Don’t be lulled into a false sense of some form of comfort on this matter, scripture makes it very clear, the Spirit which is in every one, comes out of the Flesh body at its death, the saved go to a resting place which God has for them, to be kept separate from those who are kept for eternal punishment, everyone gets immortality, even for punishment.
Do you want to follow a church which will lead you into this utter devastation described above? Who would? No-one? Well most people in their right state of mind wouldn’t anyway; what is the right state of mind? Most people who are under the deception of these churches appear to be of good sound mind, so why would they allow themselves to be put in such a position? Because generally they don’t divide rightfully their time between matters of God and the wants of the flesh life, in actual fact they are lazy in matters of God, they don’t seek God as God tells us to, they in general only give lip service, and are the Luke warm ones Jesus the Christ tells us make him sick! The ramifications of all this are a devastation, and they are going to have to deal with it, while an unauthorised people who have started up a church, and people who are not inspired of God and
51
Who don’t have the accurate knowledge and understandings, from God, make vast money, and a cushy lifestyle trafficking God’s word, and in their own understanding; when these offending churches are contested, the favourite duck for cover saying, which they have very well rehearsed, is that “it’s a matter of what each one believes” I’m here to tell you, if anyone wants to follow that philosophy they need to know this “Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread”! These ones can do nothing to help you! God says they are Murderers! And he tells us in scripture that their punishment is to be very harsh.
I have dealt with some of these churches, and some care, because they get frightened, but they won’t change! Some don’t want to change because they are into trafficking God’s word for money and power, and simply won’t change! Some want to change, but won’t for fear of ridicule! It all comes down to Money, Security, and Relationships. I’m going to show you several examples of my works, and through persuasion of God, to try and get the message of correction through to them.
The churches cowards?
Could it be called cowardice, when a church is given correction to their doctrine which maybe in error and they will not accept the change? Is this what God refers to when he says cowards will not enter into the Kingdom of God? Question after question; we need to confront this problem of those churches called mainstream, and otherwise, so let’s deal with it here and now.
One example
I was at one time put among a people called Christadelphians, it was at a very early point of time in my having been called by God, and perhaps I should take a copy of my writings on that experience, from my website www.godswordgiven.co.nz and publish it in this book, or to read it now please click on “Introduction”.
To continue: It was very early days in my having been called, I knew practically nothing about matters of God and Jesus, but it was a time when the Holy Spirit of God was a very strong persuasion over me, and God used this naivety of mine to advantage, and I can see why; there was a deep feeling within me towards those people, and I still feel for them, even though their leaders ultimately rejected the corrections which God gave them through me.
Not all the people rejected the correction, some came to me privately and confided that they could accept the corrections, some said they would, but it’s the family relationship within their Ecclesia which stopped them from openly accepting, but all had one thing in common, and that was to try and keep their feelings from the other members, even so it was obvious in most cases.
However, there was a time when this branch of the Christadelphians Ecclesia, could see the Holy Spirit acting on me, they remarked on it many times, the whole happening of my coming among them, had an effect which they had problems understanding, yet they were in a state of acceptance of me.
Their Leader, albeit self appointed, and I had become friends, and he was listening to what I said, and told all that he compared me to a spirited stallion, rearing to go, and others saw that also.
52
One of the Elders was a School Master, and he hated my very existence.
Another Elder was suspicious of me, yet one could see that he listened.
One night I had to attend a meeting with their leader, and his elders, they were frightened men, they could see that the message I had for them was correct, all except the School master, he couldn’t handle it, then not far into the meeting rushed out the door and went home, stating that he couldn’t take it any longer, he was visibly shaken, and this seemed to shake the remainder of those at this meeting; before that event on that evening, everyone was asking for more information from me as to what the correction was about, and being content with the answers they got.
“What are we going to do about it” came the words from their Leader, “We are frightened, what shall we do?” the answer came from me, “Don’t be frightened”, which means: Don’t be frightened, get it sorted out, accept the corrections and change your ways.
Well a short time after this revelation of “Fright” all Hell seemed to break loose, they turned on me, it was a nasty situation, like a wolf pack in action, the Leader of them who apparently had some knowledge of Martial arts, grabbed my hand and put my finger into a hold, and exerted great pressure designed to break it, it never broke, but was quite sore for some weeks later. Others verbally attacked with quotes from Scriptures which they had totally out of Context, and a woman came rushing out from another room falsely accusing me of foul language, and causing a upset! And the whole scene was tantamount to a shambolic state of a church, which incidentally is regarded as Christian. It was at time my daughter who was 20 miles away sensed that something was going wrong and that I was in danger.
This happening, this church, has reacted in a way which says, they feel threatened and insecure in matters of accepting correction from God, and their reasons which came out at the meeting were, Money, Security, and Relationships! They had earlier believed the message of corrections, until an unfortunate thing happened, head office told them, no, we don’t believe those things as Christadelphians.
The overall problem for them is, with this that God was trying to do for them, was that they couldn’t see how they were going to bring these changes into effect, and in consideration of what they had upheld as their beliefs for so long, how embarrassing it was going to be to them to have to admit, they have had it wrong for so many years, how they have taught their children with such strictness these errors, and now to change all that? No! They chose to carry on their disobedience to God, because their flesh way of doing things suited those best---- they think! ---And the thought is provoked, is this the cowardice God mentions? The fear of making change because it would take one out of their comfort zone?
I said before, and I’ll say it again, I have deep feelings for these people, I wonder if that’s God sent? If they came to me and wanted to learn the message from God to them, then I am here; I still wonder if there is more to be done in this case.
The very sorrowful fact for these people is: they are following the teachings of a man who is obviously not God inspired in his Knowledge and Understandings; this is easily discerned, in that he
53
Several times announced publically, a date of the second arrival of Christ Jesus! No God inspired teacher of God’s word would ever attempt to do such a thing, it immediately throws any credibility he and his church may have had out the window, so to speak, and reveals one more person trying to lead others in matters of God’s word, and by their own understandings, and not those given from God, he also denounce his teachings he gave in his own church organisation several times, and disbanded it, and started again by trying to crash in and with considerable action, on other churches, to gain for himself a congregation.
It comes to mind of one of many discussions that I’ve had with a number of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the matter was of the need to obey the Sabbath commandment, she told me that JWs don’t see the need, yet couldn’t point to any scripture which changed the commandment, but went on to say that at one time they had tried observing it, but it didn’t fit in with everyone’s way of life, and as time went by, a decision was made to abandon the whole thing! ----One wonders what else the JWs bought when they paid others for their copy right to their Doctrine! And any other of the doctrine they have purchased! Who is it then that sells scripture under copyright, and claiming it to be God’s word, and selling it as their property? And who then is it that buys such stuff? Rhetorical question really; but it’s rather reminiscent of the Parable of the Ten Virgins, those that ran out of oil, and the oil being knowledge of God’s word, or in their case lack of it, so they were told, go buy more of what you already bought, and from who you bought what you have. So on the matter of the Sabbath side of this, early one morning soon after the discussion, God gave me a revelation of understanding on the matter, and I think expressly to enlighten the JW person, here is the revelation: - Sabbath means Rest, the Sabbath we now observe is the shadow of the great Sabbath, the great rest to come, that is Eternal life. Now to the meaning of the scriptural verse. “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath”, this is its meaning: - The Sabbath rest was made for God’s obedient people, for they are the ones who will get the Eternal life, “--- not man for the Sabbath”, meaning: - Just because man is born, that doesn’t give him an automatic right to Life eternal, the Eternal Sabbath.--- There are many churches who base their doctrine of a non Sabbath requirement on this verse, they say it means that Christians don’t have to observe it, in such grave error.----- “If they should enter my rest” Old Scriptures. (She tells me she is far to devoted to JWs to be persuaded by me or anyone else to change, ----- (Even a God given revelation?)
Come on Christians! Accept the correction from God! It is written, God will forgive those who will receive correction, and Jesus the Christ tells the churches in the book of Apocalypse, that if they accept correction he has a place for them with him, but if they won’t receive, then they have no place.
The position is apparent--------
We must understand, God requires us to “Believe into” the Lord Jesus the Christ, and this in context means we have to know Jesus, and with a correct understanding of who and what he is and represents, we have to remember that to say and teach other than the truth of Jesus, is to take away his power and glory, we have to know him for our own salvation, because we are judged in this flesh life on what we do with God’s word; If we don’t know Jesus as required, then we show all those
54
Traits that tell on us, in that we haven’t given the much needed time to matters of God, we would then be as the Parable of the “Ten virgins”, to name just one related parable, or perhaps the best would be this one, and I’ll Quote it considering the great message which it carries Matt 7:21-23.
“Not everyone who says to me, Master, Master, will enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens; but he who performs the will of that father of mine in the Heavens. Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not taught in thy name? And in thy name expelled Demons? And in thy name performed many wonders? And then I will plainly declare to them, I never approved of you. Depart from me, you who practise iniquity.” Yes these people obviously hold themselves as prominent Christians, so where have they gone wrong? It’s a powerful message to Christianity, and more so to the churches, because it is they who the message is directed at!
I’m not the perfect man either, flesh and blood like everybody, but the one thing I have a fear of in my teachings in matters of God, is to teach in error; some of the knowledge God gives me frightens me to publish, this is in fear of the flesh mind taking over, of the philosophical flesh mind taking over, which happens to many church founders; what God does to alleviate that fear is: he gives me an understanding of that knowledge, even so, sometimes I allow a lot of time to go by before I start to print what God gives, time to allow edification of it, and to gain consolation which bolsters me up to the Job; I enjoy doing the work, and apart from the obvious reasons, another reason being that It confirms that God is still with me, that he still considers me worthy of something,----What a blessing!
