The Gospel has been preached to the dead since Jesus-Christ opened the gate of the underworld and preached there himself. 1 Pt 3/18-20. 1 Pt 4/6. Jesus-Christ came and said to these captives: ''Get out!'' Is 49/9. He opened the way by proclaiming freedom Is 61/1 Lk 4/18. Then, the time is coming and is here now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God, and those who hear shall live. Jn 5/25.
Of
course, we who are living, we were dead in our sins and we heard the voice of
the Lord. We passed from death to life. It is a reality. But the reality concerning
those who are dead and who are in the underworld is as follows: Jesus-Christ
has had his voice heard by the dead. Whatever Jesus-Christ did, we should do
likewise Jn 14/12. This means that the disciples of Jesus-Christ, when
they ''die'', go and preach to the dead during some time as the Master did before
them.
On
earth, the disciples accomplish the Ordinance of the baptism instead of the
dead.
Therefore,
the disciple of Jesus-Christ is doing genealogical studies, in order to accomplish
the Ordinance of the baptism for the sake of the greatest number and particularly
for those of his family who are already dead 1 Tim 5/8.
(Several
prophets of our time have visited us to tell us what our mission was, among
others, to free the captives. These prophets did not know at all that we were
practicing the baptism of the dead. One of them , who did not know us at all,
spent a few hours with us, coming from Quebec. All these prophetic messages
could only confirm our belief that we were indeed in the written Will of God.)

Jesus-Christ
is the savior. Savior is one of the titles of God. The Eternal is my Savior
Ps 27/1. Ex 15/1-2. 2 Sam 22/2-3. I, even I, am the Lord, and beside
me there is no Savior Is 43/11. See Jesus-Christ.
Holy Spirit. Trinity.
You
will give him the name Jesus, For he will save his people from his sins Matt
1/21. Today a Savior is born for you, who is the Christ, the Lord Lk
2/11.
Who
is the only Savior?
God
so greatly loved the world that he gave up His only begotten son unique so that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish Jn 3/16.
There
is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name by which
we must be saved Ac 4/10-12. From Heaven we earnestly await the Lord
Jesus-Christ, the Savior Ph 3/20. The father has sent the son as Savior
of the world 1 Jn 4/14.
SECOND COMING OF JESUS-CHRIST.
During
this millenium Jesus-Christ return to the earth, to reign for 1000 years. Then,
He will wipe out those of the race of the serpent. See
seed of the serpent.
But,
before this return to the earth, Jesus-Christ promised to his disciples that
he would personally come and take them up, meeting them on the clouds of the
heaven 1 Tess 4/15-18. See Archangel.Given
signal
After
the taking up of the disciples, who are the Bride of Christ, the antichrist
will reign fo seven years on the earth. See Antechrist.
After this reign of seven years, Jesus-christ will return to the earth. Every
eye will see him and every knee will be bent before him Rev 1/7. The
Jews will recognize him. They will see the marks on his hands and feet Zach
12/10. Zach 13/6. This will be a terrible day . Jesus-Christ will
come back in the Glory of the father Matt 16/27. Matt 25/31. No one
knows the day, only God knows Matt 24/36. He will return the same way
in which you saw him going to Heaven Ac 1/11. He will come down from
heaven 1 Tes 4/16. He will return like thief 2 Pt 10. (without
any warning.) He will return with his Myriads Jude 14 on the clouds.
For
the unbelievers, he will come back like a thief. For his disciples, we are well
informed. Amos 3/7.
Jesus-Christ
very clearly tells his disciples that the devil has sowed a seed on the earth
Matt 13/38-39. It is a Word which is not for all. It is reserved to
the disciples. Others will find stumbling block there. Therefore, Jesus-Christ
told this Parable in public Matt 13/24-30, but he gave the interpretation
privately, to his disciples Matt 13/36-43. He also says that those who
have ears be listening.
That
you believe it or not won't take anything away in your salvation. But be careful
not to speak lightly about these things, you run the risk of reviling things,
with which you are not acquainted as some people did Jude 1/10. Pray
that God reveals you these things.
If
these things are written here, It is because they should be, so that the faith
of those who must be taken up increases as well as the level of their love.
See Pyramid.
The
Bible tells us that Cain was from the devil and that Judas was a demon. See
Cain. Judas.
fall.
Remember
always that you have no right or power, to judge who is, or is not, of the seed
of the serpent.
For
example:
Abraham
raising his sword on his son isaac looked like the seed of the serpent at this
moment. But he was not.
Paul
persecuting the disciples of Jesus-christ looked liked the seed of the serpent,
but was not.
Judas
imposing the hands and healing the sicks looked like the seed of God, He was
not.
The
darnel and and the good seed look like each other Matt 13/28-29.
God gave Moses the order to make a bronze serpent as an objet of faith. Whoever watched this serpent would be healed from the bitings of the fiery serpents of the desert. nb 21/8-9. The serpent was set on a pole and raised up so that all may see it easily. Jesus-Christ is compared to the bronze serpent. He was also nailed on the wood and elevated between earth and heaven. All those who watch Him with faith receive the forgiveness of their sins and the healing. Jn 3/14-15 Is 53/1-12.
The
disciples of Jesus-Christ are called to serve. When they serve one another,
It is God whom they serve. Servility is a perversion of the action of the disciple,
for one cannot serve without True Love, whereas we cannot love without serving.
Chose whom you want to serve Jos 24/15. All the time you have done these things to the least of these, you did it to me Matt 25/35-45. The true service to God is to offer our life as a living sacrifice. This is the agreable and reasonable worship Rm 12/1. It is thus our life which matters. Through love you should serve one another Gal 5/13.
Sickness
is one of the consequence of sin. Not necessarily because you have sinned you
are sick. But when Eve and Adam sinned in Eden, death entered the world, and
the accompanying sufferings. Sickness thus comes from the devil and not from
God. When Jesus-Christ came on earth, he healed the sick and John says that
he came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 Jn 3/8. Jesus-Christ teaches
us that the will of the father must be done on the earth as it is done in heaven.
Matt 6/10. I ask the question: How many sick are there in heaven?
We can know that it is the will of God to heal the sick and it is with this faith that we must pray. The healing had already a important place in the life of faith in the Old-Covenant. God sees our tears and He heals us 2 Kg 20/1-5. 2 Chron 32/24. Is 38/1-4-8. Jesus-Christ healed all sicknesses and infirmities Matt 4/23-24. He came for those who are sick Matt 9/10-13. Mk 2/14-17. Lk 5/27-32. The apostles teach how to have healings in the Church Jm 5/14-15. All these healings which we can experience, are received because Jesus-Christ on the cross also took upon himself our sins ans sicknesses. Is 53/5-6.
Yet,
we are not fanatic and we praise God for the intelligence he gave to the men
who can successfully cure a great deal of evils. But let us always remember
that the healing comes of God. The devil cannot heal. He can only displace evil
in order to deviate the people of the Truth which is Jesus-Christ. The people
thus deceived do not realize immediately that their evil has been displaced
and they will suffer even more later.
Now,
we should be very clear. The miracles are miracles just because they are miracles!
God is not a vending machine. And there are true disciples of Jesus-Christ who
are sick.
We
should know that our body has not been atoned for on the cross and that the
devil has some claims over it. Rm 8/23. If you don't mind, I would even
say that the greatest miraculous survivors always die one day. Take Lazarus!
He died and Jesus-Christ brought him back to life. But... since then, he died,
didn't he?
Therefore,
please! Don't mess around about the Divine healing. I heard so many crazy things!
One day, a pastor said from the pulpit: ''If one day I am sick, you will know
that I have sinned!'' and another said to a good mother: ''If you have not been
healed, it is because you don't have faith!''
It
is not that simple!
Another
said to a couple of Christians who had just lost their child: ''It is God who
punishes you because you have TV set at home!''
As
soon as we talk about miracle, we should keep in mind (in heart) the infinite
goodness of Jesus-Christ and His humility. The makers of miraculous healings
are not necessarily very holy or very intelligent people.
But I shall say one more thing: Jesus-Christ loves you and you can pray him with fervour and insistance for your healing or the healing of a dear person. Jesus-Christ is the only one without iniquity! Acts 2/42.
These
are the events through which the Lord reveals to his people that what he said
is about to be fulfilled.
The greatest sign is the return of the Jewish people on his earth Is 5/26.
Paul
describes the time which will precede the return of Jesus 2 Tim 3/1-9.
A
sign or a signal is a person or an event placed by God to show us something
or a direction.
1
Tess 4/16 tells us that just before his return, see
second coming, He will give us a signal. The signal has been given. It is
Elijah who came to show us which direction to be part of the taking up.
Indeed, to take part in the taking up, the Humble Bride of Christ must be prepared. All the Virgins are sound asleep. The given signal is the voice which shouts ''the Bridegroom is coming!'' Matt 25/6.
The
oil which the Humble Bride possesses is the Word of the hour.
Noah
had a Word for his hour. Moses had a Word for his hour. The Humble Bride too,
has a Word for her hour, the hour to be caught up. It is this Word which allows
her to keep the Light till the end.
The
Word for this hour is written in the Bible, but it has been forgotten, despised,
interpreted, transformed, during the centuries.
The Signal given by God on 1 Tess 4/16 is Elijah who came to start the restoration of all things. The voice of the Archangel continues his ministry.
In
some versions of the Bible, it is not written ''given signal'' but ''shout
of mustering''. (Darby) ''watchword'' (Chouraqui).
Did you hear it? Do you know what this cry said? what this signal shows? what this shout orders? Are you content with your Christian life? Don't you need anything? Do you believe that you possess the Full Gospel? Rev 3/17. Don't harden your heart and don't insist upon believing what is religiously correct according to your theologians. See Church.
The
Lord Himself gives you a sign Is 7/14. God works signs and wonders in
the Heaven and on the earth Dan 6/27. A wicked generation is asking for
a miracle Matt 12/39. Matt 12/39. Lk 11/29. Here are the miracles
which will be with those who believe Mk 16/17.
The devil imitates what God does and He gives wrong signs, only the chosen cannot be seduced Matt 24/24.
SIMEON. O.T.
The
second son of Jacob and Lea Gn 29/33. 35/23. Ex 1/1. The prophecy about
him is found in Gn 49/5-7.
Simeon
is the head of a tribe. The tribe of Simeon remains with that of Judah for most
of the time Jos 19/1-9. 1 Chron 4/24-33. They fight together the Canaanites
Jg 1/3, 17. The tribe of Simeon joins the armies of David 1 Chron
12/26.
