The Bible Truth

The Bible – Truth and Tradition.  

Without the Old Testament, the New Testament will not exist; without the New and the Old, there is no need for the Book of Revelation. Therefore, things and events will happen without the presence of both the Old and the New. There would have been no warning signs, no messengers to announce the pending destruction, and most of all; there would not have been a Savior. If anybody is in doubt, the perfection of the Almighty God, His purpose, and His perfect plan can be confirmed through His perfect numbers, 3,7,10 and 12. The Number 3 is God’s spiritual perfection which we applied the truth about the division of the Bible.

The Old, the New, and the Revelation are the three divisions of the Bible; the Old Testament with 39 books, the New Testament with 26 books, and only one book in the Book of Revelation. The Book of Revelation is a significant book to our generation because this is the book we are in now. In the Old Testament era, there were three anointed people of God-  the Kings, the Prophets, and the Priests, while in the New Testament, they are the Jews, the Gentiles, and the unbelievers (Jews and Gentiles). In our generation are God the Father Almighty, The Mighty Son, and the sons of God.

We must acknowledge the right Spirit or miss the vital message. So if you are still confused about God’s plan’s spiritual perfection, pray.

During Ancient Israel (Old Testament), God the Almighty Father was directly involved with human activities;  in the New Testament, Jesus Christ, the Son, drew the people back to God, and the kingdom of God at hand was introduced. The Book of Revelation was written for our guidance for things to come. It was first known to be the revelation of John; then it was changed to the revelation of Jesus Christ, and now the truth that the author is God the Almighty Father, and called “The Revelation.”

The Almighty Father revealed to the Son the future of human existence. The  Son told his angel (messenger) to tell John, and John wrote the message. If we carefully seek the truth with the help of the Holy Spirit, we may find it with joy and not fear that life is short and should not be wasted. We must remember that life started with God, and we will be with God at the end of the ages forever. What more do we need when we already have it all?

As God said: in Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and help you and uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we receive from God.”

Whatever happens, we are in good shape because God is within us; his Spirit will never leave nor forsake us. Therefore, we must stay focused, humble ourselves, and always submit to God, following His will and purpose. When we stay under His wings, we can know Him better.

The Bible is a love letter of God to His children. We learn from God’s word during the Old Testament that the people are servants of God, and in the New Testament, they become children of God, the church, and the Body of Christ, and now we are in the Revelation period. We are given our domain, our kingdom, under the government of God- we are the kingdom. 

There is no transgression in the family of God, no claiming over authority in a given time. When God is in control, no one will dare to challenge it as what happened before the world began. During the Old Testament time, God was directly involved in human activities; in the New Testament, God sent the Son, and the Son is in charge of how he will accomplish his mission. The Son chose the cross to save the world.

In this generation where we are now living, the Holy Spirit of God will lead our kingdom, as we remember that the Holy Spirit of God was sent as requested by the Son Jesus. The Holy Spirit is in charge, not the Father or the Son. It is the Spirit of God that is in charge of this period. That is why anyone who rejects to be used by the Holy Spirit is blasphemy against Him. There is no usurpation of authority in the family of God.

How would the usurpation of authority be allowed to interfere with the forming of the Trinity? Trinity is God’s plan; He wants His children to be with Him forever. There should be no hindrances to forming the Trinity! There shouldn’t be! No one can stand against us because we are in one accord, one Spirit, and one Body of God (the kingdom). God is the essence of all things. He can make the impossible possible, and stopping God when He has already said what He said is impossible because God doesn’t change His mind.

In the Revelation period, the Kingdom of God is led by the Spirit of God, and the kingdom received by the people of God will be under the rule of God. Therefore, the kingdom of God is also known as the government of God. To God be the glory!

God is all in all!
