PROVE BIBLICALLY THAT JOHN, and NOT
H.W.ARMSTRONG FULFILLED MALACHI 3.1 AND 4.5
Mal 3: 1- Behold, I will send My messenger, and he
shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly
come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant,
Mal 4: 5 -Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:--6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to
the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and
smite the earth with a curse.
Next vs. in bible is from New Testament—Mt 1: 1--The
book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. So LORD’S birth is recorded there. JESUS CHRIST said Elias is already come, Mt 17: 12, 13,
and that John fulfilled his course, Acts 13: 24, 25.
Please remember –no prophecy is of private interpretation, 2 Pe 1: 20.
Mal 3: 1- Behold, I will send my
messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. John 3: 28-- I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
(John said so—that is biblical proof that JOHN WAS SENT BEFORE JESUS
CHRIST to PREPARE THE WAY BEFORE JESUS CHRIST —how did John prepare the way for
JESUS CHRIST?
·
John said he should decrease, JESUS CHRIST
should increase, Jn 3: 30 (please note, when John said so---GOD’S CHURCH was
encouraging baptizm of John with no reference to JESUS CHRIST!) this is why kingdom of heaven suffers violence, Mt 11: 12,
that is why JESUS CHRIST has to fight for His temple during LORD’S DAY!
·
John said “he who believes in JESUS
CHRIST has EVERLASTING LIFE, Jn 3: 36
·
So John pointed to JESUS CHRIST to get
everlasting life! --Joh 6:54 -Whoso eateth My
flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the
last day. Blood and flesh is taken at Passover, remembering His death,
when you remember His death, one has to be Baptized unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7,
which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, Vs. 19,22 , through baptizm of
JESUS CHRIST HE WOULD RAISE him up AT THE LAST DAY—THEN
IT IS JOHN THE BAPTIST WHO PREPARED FOR LORD’S BAPTIZM!
·
John EMPHASIZED the BAPTIZM of JESUS CHRIST, Mt 3: 3, Mr 1: 4, Mt 3: 11,
Jn 1: 33, Acts 1: 5, (John said the NEED TO BE BAPTIZED WITH fire and Holy
Spirit of JESUS CHRIST ) in Acts 11: 16 JESUS CHRIST SAID OF BAPTIZM WITH
HOLY SPIRIT!
·
When one gets baptized unto His death,
BY BELIEVING JESUS CHRIST, he would be raised in newness of life (born again to
see kingdom of God, Joh 3:3), and such who are raised (resurrected) are equal
to angels and SONS OF GOD (children of God), Lu 20: 35, 36, since Christ is the "heir of all
things" Heb 1:2, Col 1:15 Believers
are heirs of the "promise," "of righteousness,"
"of the kingdom," "of the world," "of God,"
"joint heirs" with Christ,
Ga 3:29, Heb 6:17, 11:7, Jas 2:5, Ro 4:13, 8:17. -Ga 4:7- Wherefore thou
art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.---then, believers would become GOD’S SONS---believers
are HEIRS OF GOD----they become HIS PEOPLE!
·
Then God is with house of ISRAEL, they
become His people--Eze 34:30 -Thus shall they know
that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of
Israel, are My people, saith the Lord GOD. Joe 2:27-And ye shall know that I am
in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God,
and none else: and My people shall
never be ashamed.
·
THUS GOD BECOMES THEIR GOD, and
BELIEVERS BECOME HIS PEOPLE! ---Unless you get baptized unto His death----IT
WOULD NOT HAPPEN!
·
Therefore---John prepared the way for
LORD’S PEOPLE to reconcile to HIM, SHOWING THE WAY FOR BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST,
so that all these prophecies would be fulfilled!
·
Ac 13: John had first preached before His
coming the baptism of
repentance to all the people of Israel.---25- And as John fulfilled
his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not He. But,
behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of His feet I am not
worthy to loose.---JOHN indicated that JESUS CHRIST’S
baptizm is necessary, as shown above-- Mt 3: 3, Mr 1: 4, Mt 3:
11, Jn 1: 33, Acts 1: 5, Holy
Spirit is given only through JESUS CHRIST’S baptizm, Acts 2: 38. John preached
baptizm of repentance.
·
THEREFORE—JOHN PREAPRED FOR
THE BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST SHOWING THAT PEOPLE OF GOD SHOULD GET BAPTIZED UNTO
JESUS CHRIST, to inherit all things through JESUS CHRIST as shown above!
·
JOHN PREPARED THE WAY BEFORE
JESUS CHRIST!
Mal 4: 5 -Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the
LORD:--6 -And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse.
ISRAEL is NOT ELECT, (but gentiles are elect), they
are BLINDED, Rom. 11: 7, BLINDENESS has happened PARTLY to ISRAEL, Rom. 11; 25,
they are cast away (scattered, Eze. 12: 13-15), and their casting away was a
blessing for salvation of gentiles, their casting away is RECONCILIATION of the
world, Rom. 11: 15, (that is how all flesh would be one
day worship God according to His will, on Sabbaths, and new moons, Isa. 66:
23!)----Rom. 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the
world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more
their fulness?----vs. 15--what shall the receiving
of them be, but life from the dead?
·
Therefore---the RECEIVING of
them (when captivity is RESTORED)----IT IS “LIFE FROM DEAD”!-----what does that mean?-----CAPTIVES ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD! ----therefore,
JESUS CHRIST gives newness of life through BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH!—Rom. 6: 3-7.
·
After ISRAEL broke covenant,
Eze. 16: 59, 44: 7, ALL LEADERS were scattered in captivity, Eze. 12: 3-15, ----IN Eze. 13: 9---ISRAEL NAMES WERE
REMOVED FROM THEIR REGISTRY of the LIVING ( that means they were written off as
dead!---one has to be written in the BOOK OF LIFE, to be counted as LIVING!) God’s people would be written as LIVING if they had been
obedient to God and had faith in Him, e.g., Mt 22:32- I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
·
When ISRAEL is written as dead, Eze.
13: 9,---ISRAEL
LIFE IS CUT OFF! ---JESUS CHRIST IS NOT THE GOD OF DEAD---so captives are
without God, He is hiding from them, Eze. 39: 21-23.---unless they get baptized
unto His death and get NEWNESS OF LIFE---THEY HAVE NO LIVING STATUS!
·
LORD
revives David’s Tabernacle, Amos 9: 11—LORD requires
David type of men to rule ISRAEL congregation---but David prophesied for
ISRAEL-----Rom. 11: 9 - David saith, Let their table be made a
snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them:--10 Let their eyes be darkened, that
they may not see, and bow down their back always----7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that
which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it,--- 8 (According as it is
written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not
see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.---SO ISRAEL ARE BLINDED---in TEMPLE OF GOD, ISRAEL , (Rom. 9: 4,
6), ARE BLIND! Dead in captivity! Laodiceans! Having many riches, they need
clothes, Rev. 3: 17!
·
But
LORD is merciful—Rom. 11: 23--if they abide not still in unbelief,
shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be
come in.
·
Rom. 11: 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies
for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’
sakes. (as David said
ISRAEL is blind, the leader H.W.Armstrong whom PCG believes had made the church
disbelieve the CROSS AND BAPTIZM of JESUS CHRIST unto HIS DEATH, so they are
enemies of the cross of Christ, Php 3:18 ----BUT THE
ELECTION, Rom. 11: 28, the gentiles, Rom. 11: 7, 11, 13, are beloved for
fathers’ sakes---who are the FATHERS?---they
are those with whom LORD made the covenants--Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Jer.
33: 15-26, Noah (Gen. 9: 17-covenant with all flesh) ---because
of the gentile elects work UNDER JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 15; 12, the covenants would
be preserved, when THEY WITNESS LORD’S BAPTIZM of which JOHN HAD PREPARED
BEFORE HIS COMING, of which PAUL GAVE DETAILS, Rom. 6: 3-7, as Paul was
the minister to gentiles, Rom. 15: 16!
If ISRAEL remain in
captivity, they would MAKE THE COVENANTS of
fathers, TO CEASE---but IF THEY
RETURN---then THE COVENANTS WOULD CONTINUE!
Hearts of children
would turn to their fathers---fathers’ generations would continue, Isa. 59; 21.
·
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
David, Noah recorded in book of life as LIVING, Mt 22:32-, GOD WOULD NEVER ALLOW THE COVENANTS MADE WITH THEM TO
BE BROKEN, THEREFORE LORD BRINGS BACK ISRAEL CAPTIVITY---
therefore—Jer. 33:25 Thus saith the
LORD; If My covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the
ordinances of heaven and earth;---26
Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I
will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have
mercy on them.
·
Rom. 11: 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come
out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
·
Rom. 11: 27 For this is My
covenant unto them, when I shall take
away their sins.
WHEN ISRAEL CAPTIVITY IS
BROUGHT BACK---LORD sees a seed of His through His sacrifice, Isa. 53: 10.
·
Captivity would
end, when they come out because of blood
of JESUS CHRIST, Zec 9: 11----they would be saved by JESUS CHRIST, Mt 1:
21----ungodliness would be turned away by His blood, by granting them
Righteousness unto Holiness, through LORD’s baptizm, Rom. 6: 19, 22-----their
sins would be taken away by BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, Rom. 6----ALL THESE
BLESSINGS FOR CAPTIVES WOULD COME THROUGH BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, Rom. 6!----THEREFORE—John the Baptist PREPARED HIS WAY---AS HE TURNS THE
HEARTS OF CHILDREN TO FATHERS, Mal 4: 5,6.
·
JESUS CHRIST sees
a SEED through His sacrifice, Isa. 53: 10, when the SEED honours HIS BAPTIZM,
Rom. 6: 3-7---THAT IS A SEED OF ISAAC, to which promises were made, Gal 3: 16, --THE PROMISE BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO
BELIEVE, Gal 3: 22. -----ALL ARE SONS OF GOD through FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, Gal 3: 26, ----------FOR THIS BELIEVER HAS TO PUT ON JESUS
CHRIST through BAPTIZING INTO JESUS CHRIST, Gal 3: 27!
·
Gal 3: 28-- There is neither Jew nor
Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye
are all one in Christ Jesus.----29
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according
to the promise.
·
Ga 4:7- Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son;
and if a son, then an heir of God
through Christ.---then,
believers would become GOD’S SONS---believers are HEIRS OF GOD----they become
HIS PEOPLE!
·
Mal 3: 1- the Lord, whom ye seek, shall
suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant,---HE IS COMING TO MAKE THE COVENANT, Eze. 16; 60-62, WITH HIS
ATONEMENT provided, vs. 63, through HIS SACRFICE, He shed blood of the
covenant, Zec 9:11, Heb 12:24 to make the covenant!
Mal 4: 5 -Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:--6 -And he
shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the
children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Curse came to PCG,
Eze. 16: 23, as they ERRED WITH PROPHECIES OF H.W.Armstrong, believing men,
Jer. 17: 5! They only exalted themselves, and spent tithes robbing God’s money,
Mal 3: 8! ---please understand, H.W.Armstrong could not make peace with
physical fathers and children of church even! PCG disfellowshipped at a rate,
members are scattered? PCG exalts errors of H.W.Armstrong, which he prophesied
through his own private interpretations, against 2 Pe 1: 20).
Because John the Baptist EMPHASIZED LORD’S
BAPTIZM, and PREPARED the WAY, the promises made to fathers would come to
children, and children would get BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH, TO RECEIVE THE
PROMISES MADE TO FATHERS! ---The covenants would be preserved---
Isa. 29: 22- Therefore thus saith the
LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now
be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 -But when he seeth his children, the work of Mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall
sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of
Israel.—JESUS CHRIST worked in the midst of ISRAEL, His church, Rom. 9: 4,
6, it is last era laodiceans –PCG, to whom we send LORD’S MESSAGES, Eze. 30: 3,
9.
Isa. 29: 24 -They also that erred in
spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn
doctrine.
Isa. 29: 22-says—LORD had redeemed Abraham
concerning Jacob! Then Jacob’s face lights up!---vs. 23—it is a time Jacob sees
his children coming from captivity, THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST, Eze. 39: 28, 29,
Jer. 23: 7, 8, Isa. 11: 11—when ISRAEL children would SANCTIFY JESUS CHRIST AND
FEAR HIM----THOSE OF ISRAEL CHURCH, Rom. 9: 4, 6, ERRED IN SPIRIT (erred in
words of life, Jn 6: 63), WOULD LEARN DOCTRINE OF JESUS CHRIST, according to
GODLINESS, 1Ti 6:3!
2Jo 1:9-Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in
the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. BOTH FATHER AND SON are JESUS
CHRIST, Isa. 9: 6, Isa. 54: 5.
When WCG, PCG, did not recognize JESUS
CHRIST, they served men leaders (H.W.Armstrong and Gerald Flurry, Regional
Directors), Gal 4: 8, then YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN BONDAGE TO SERVE THEM, vs. 9,
it is of NO USE to worship on days, months, seasons, years, WHILE WORSHIPPING MEN! Vs.10.
----but JESUS CHRIST gives abundant knowledge when you gets Baptizm unto His
death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to worship Him
in truth, Vs. 19,22----His will is found in Isa. 66: 23!---and all things of
JESUS CHRIST would be yours as written above! Ezekiel temple ordinances, Eze.
43: 18—27, are to be done to be SANCTIFIED as said in Isa. 29: 23.
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING TO JESUS CHRIST, THE
REDEEMER OF ISRAEL HIS CHOSEN, Heb. 9: 15, Jn 6: 44, the WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR
AND ALMIGHTY FATHER OF SPIRITS, Heb 12:9, AMEN AND AMEN.
