THE REVELATION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF THOSE WHO WILL BE
CONDEMNED TOGETHER WITH
THE ANTICHRIST
Part 1
.
1.All the people who will disobey the LORD and will not depart from
sin will certainly be condemned together with the anti CHRIST (John 3:36;
Eph.5:6; Col.3:5-6; Rev.21:8).
2.Those who hate the LORD JESUS CHRIST hate the Father also; He
said, “He who hate Me hate my Father also (John
15:23).All who hate the LORD JESUS are His adversaries, they are the
opponent, and malevolent enemies of the LORD JESUS (antidikos in Greek word);
the “antidikos” is specifically the devil- Satan, the arch-enemy of the LORD
JESUS and the leader and spiritual father of the children of the devil (John
8:44) and all the spiritual children of the devil are “antidikos” opponent or
enemies of the LORD JESUS (Ps.68:21; 92:9).
No one who despise the word, or receive not the word of God (John
12:48) can be able to escape the coming judgment of the LORD:
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be
destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded” (Pr.13:13).
The most edifying event as revealed testimony of the LORD JESUS
which pertained to a man who despised the word of God, and was destroyed by the
LORD was king Jehoiakim, king of Judah ( read the entire chapter of the book of
Jeremiah chapter 36).
3.The LORD JESUS said with affirmative declaration: “He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that
gather not with Me scatters abroad” (Matt 12:30; Luke 11:23).The
“Antichrist” in Greek word is “anticristos” which is diametrically opposed to
the LORD JESUS CHRIST and will never be with Him. Moreover, all who refused to
be with Him for ever belong to the flock of the “Antichrist.
”
4.Among others who have the spirit of the Antichrist are those who
do not believe, neither acknowledge, nor proclaim that the LORD JESUS came in the flesh
(1John 4:1-6). Many of them are here now in the world.
5.It is in the “Epistle” of Apostle Paul to the Corinthians that “If any man love not the LORD JESUS CHRIST let him be“Anathema-(accursed) Maranatha,” (LORD come) (1Cor.16:22). All
should know that it is the greatest and foremost of all the commandments of the
LORD JESUS that He first gave to Israel, and simultaneously, His mandatory
commandment for all (Mark 12:29-31).
“There was one of the scribes who
asked the LORD JESUS, which is the first commandment of all”?
“And JESUS answered him, The first
of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; The LORD our God is one LORD: And
thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self.There is none other commandment
greater than these(Mark12:28-31).
Therefore, if any man does not love the LORD JESUS CHRIST it is
clearly understood, he/she belong to the company of the Antichrist.
How can we precisely identified those who really love the LORD
JESUS? it is by the LORD’S declaration-“He that
hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he
it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him and will manifest myself to him.(John 14:21); “He also said, if a
man love Me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will
come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23).
“THE NARROW GATE AND THE WIDE GATE”
Part 2.
All of us have to choose between two ultimate destiny; the LORD
JESUS gave us His explicit instruction to wisely choose the right destiny “Enter ye at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it” (Matt.7:13-14)..
The narrow gate is a figurative expression, not literal in real
sense of what it specifically denote. It is the gate that leads to life, to
understand this instruction of the LORD well, we must refer to other scriptures
that was written; The LORD JESUS CHRIST said, “I
am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and
out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9). We can Biblically comprehend His
directive instruction in figurative mode of expression that if we directly
focus our total, absolute, and exclusive commitment of faith, hope and love for
Him alone, that we can have assurance that we are saved, and can find well
sustained living condition by His altruistic benevolence ( Is.48:17; Acts
17:25); In the book of the prophet Isaiah the LORD’S message has correlated
instruction for us to enter in the narrow gate:
“Thus saith the LORD thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy
God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou
shouldest go”(Is.48:17).
The narrow gate is the way of the LORD that is Himself as He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life no man come to
the Father but by Me”(John14:6).
The thing we must do to enter in the narrow gate is to be a follower
of the LORD JESUS CHRIST because He is the one who lead all of His followers in
the narrow gate, that lead to eternal life (Matt 7:14).
Few are there in the strait way of the narrow gate, because the
mandatory requirements there is to follow the exemplary, and absolute
righteousness of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
In following His righteousness we must conform to His discipline,
and His commandments are instructions that will lead us to His narrow gate, by
continual submission to His will to be fashioned in His holiness
(Lev.20:7;1Pet.1:15-16).
Anyone who really want to be in the narrow gate must have decisively
negated, renounced, eschewed all sorts of sinfulness; that mean had repented
outright, and will never back slide in doing sin, and to remain in faithfulness
to the LORD JESUS CHRIST. In the life of true Christians they really have
irrevocable commitment to follow JESUS regardless of whatever consequences may
happen in their life. They detached themselves from all sin (2 Tim.2:19; 1John
3:9).
They departed away from religiosity wherein the deceitful doctrines
of the devil is enforced (1Tim.4:1).Knowingly, that in the narrow gate, all sin
are prohibited.
The reason why “few there be that find the narrow gate,” is because
of the revealed and exposed inclination of many people to love wickedness
instead of choosing the enlightenment of the LORD in His right way. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he
that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
they are wrought in God”. (John 3:19-21).
Obstinate sinners, justified their evil deeds, they adamantly
refused the corrective instructions of the LORD JESUS, their hardened heart
consequentially lead them to their own destruction (Ezek.18:30-32; Rom.1:21-32
Rev.21:8). These people had chosen to remain in the “wide gate” that will lead
them to destruction, wherein the Antichrist have pernicious dominion
(Matt.7:13).
THE WIDE GATE WITH BROADWAY THAT LEAD TO DESTRUCTION
Last Part
All the faithful adherents of the LORD JESUS CHRIST having faith,
hope, and irrevocable love for Him (1Cor13:13) are those who remain in Him at
the narrow gate (1John 5:19).
Apostle Paul was a devoted follower and servant of the LORD JESUS,
who wrote to the Romans - God inspired messages, that have informative
revelations that pertain to the wickedness of people which remain in the wide
gate (Rom.1:21-32).
“Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened".
"Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools. And changed the glory of the
incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and
fourfooted beasts and creeping things."
"Wherefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies
between themselves":
"Who changed the truth of God into a
lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is
blessed for ever. Amen."
For
this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did
change the natural use into that which is against nature":
"And likewise also
the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward
another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in
themselves that recompence of their error which was meet".
"And even as they as did not
like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness,; full of
envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity,; whisperers. Backbiters, haters of
God, despiteful, proud ,boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents.
Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful".
Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not
only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.(Rom.1:21-32).
This question must be for analytical
research of every one who need historical information about the past events,
why the LORD JESUS inspired the Apostle Paul to addressed his “written epistles
to the Romans?
Let us consider first the historical
events of the past generations: “According to the World History book of Men and
Nations, the Apostle Paul was the one who brought and preached the gospel of
the LORD JESUS in Rome.The written Epistle of him affirmed the historical
record of the“World History Book”.
“ Christianity was legally
recognized in "324 AD" by Emperor Constantine. It became the official religion of
the Roman Empire in "380 AD" by the official declaration of Emperor Theodosious,
In the year "392 AD", He forbade the worship of all heathen gods, even in
private, In less than 400 hundred years, Christianity had spread from its
birthplace in Palestine to become the official religion of a huge Empire.”
“In less than "400 years AD", the
Roman Empire collapsed and declined, and by that time in Rome, many had
proclaimed false assertion that Apostle Peter was the first pope of Rome, a
deceitful proclamation, Biblically because, he never went to Rome. The real
first pope in the “World History Book was Gregory 1 in the year "590AD.”
“Pope Gregory1, was the one who
established the Roman Catholic church, and pope Gregory X111 was the one who
made the Gregorian calendar.”
“In the year "1500 AD" the High
Renaissance of art was exceedingly promoted by the pope in the Vatican palace
of Rome, and in those days that the Roman Catholic church became extremely
idolatrous, pagan, sectarian church.” Obsession, adoration, and devotion toward
sculptured, graven images, done in the art of sculpture and painting became the
focus of glorification in the Roman Catholic church even to these days
generation of people.
The proponent, endorsers,
prescribers, of these abominable, and hateful adoration to man made graven
images against the Almighty God the LORD JESUS CHRIST (Ex.20:4-5) were all succeeding popes then, and at present, the one in that position now.
When the “High Renaissance” times
flourished, the pope defiantly disregarded, and discarded two of the ten
commandments of the LORD JESUS verses 3-4.
“Thou shalt not
make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth:
Thou
shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am
a jelous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them
that hate Me.” (Ex.20:4-5)".
Now, all the truth will forever
prevail against the deceitful persistence of the Roman Catholic church to
propagate and expand idol worship (2Cor, 13:8). “For
we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth.”
This is for the edification of all: “The God who made the world and all things in it,
since He is the LORD of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with
hands; Being then the offspring of God, we
ought not to think that the divine nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, an
images formed by the art and thought of man”, (Acts 17:24,29).
The members of the Roman Catholic
church who really want to be in the narrow gate of the LORD JESUS CHRIST must
decisively depart from that sectarian pagan church of Rome according to the
LORD’S inspired messages written by Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth, (2
Cor.6:14-18).
“Be not unequally
yoke together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness,? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of
the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people.
WHEREFORE COME OUT
FROM AMONG THEM, and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean
thing; and I will receive you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
LORD ALMIGHTY” (2 Cor.6:14-18).
This Roman Catholic church are in
the way that leads to destruction (Pr.14:12; Matt.7:13). They live not in
accordance to God’s will, but through their own will, the proof of this is by
their deeds according to the LORD JESUS (Matt.7:16). The daily reported
eventualities of wickedness among themselves continually increasing; such as
homosexuality, lesbianism, murders, corruptions, suicide, immoralities, broken
marriage relationship, and abominable idolatries etc.. are certain evidence
that the Roman Catholic church are in the “wide gate” altogether with many
sectarian churches in the whole world.
For them the right choice to avoid
the LORD JESUS condemnation, is to sincerely repent while there’s still time
and opportunity to amend and turn away from their sinful deeds (Luke 13:3).
Finally, to be ALL FOR JESUS NOW AND
FOR EVER is precisely the right decision every one must choose. Because the
LORD JESUS explicitly confirmed that many are there in the “wide gate”with
broad way that lead to destruction.
