The Condition of the Word

The Root Cause of the Divisions and the Troubles in the World

Revealed September 15, 2012

The reasons for the conflicts in the Middle East and the solution for peace are revealed by Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista.

Leaders of nations and peoples of the world should read the revelations regarding the long standing conflicts in the Middle East. The root cause of the divisions and conflicts is finally revealed as it is found in the Holy Bible.

Many people and organizations throughout history have tried to bring peace to the Middle East. Although they have had peace, it was only for a fleeting moment in time. No lasting solutions have ever been presented.

What is the root cause of the divisions and conflicts in the world?

Maestro Evangelista says:

REGARDING THE RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS IN OUR TIME

All the religious killings that are presently happening in this world; even the storms, floods, earthquakes and other crises have been prophesied long ago to happen in our time.

As these conflicts, calamities, and disasters happen, all people pray to God to put an end to them.

Why are their prayers not answered?

We have the United Nations, and other regional organizations of sovereign states, that were formed to eliminate conflicts and reduce sufferings in the world. Yet, there are wars, famine and suffering. And where is the peace that these statesmen talked about, dreamed of, and promised? We will not have the peace we are looking for as long as we have not identified the origin of the divisions. If the foundation of the division is identified, then, it is up to our leaders and peoples of the world to act and remove the sources of the division in order to have lasting peace.

We keep on blaming other people for the sufferings we experience. But in reality, who made the troubles and conflicts in this world?

And what does God say?

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse- the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (NIV)

"See, I am setting before you" – In these passages, Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista explains that God has no longer exercises dominion or control over men. Everyone will determine their own lives; whether it be good or bad, they made it so. It should not be blamed on God. It’s no longer God’s will but Man’s freewill.

It shows clearly that in every circumstance in a man’s life there are two choices and there is a consequence for whatever decision or action taken:

- Obey the commandments of God; you get the blessing.

 

- Disobey the commandments of God by following other gods that you have not known;  you get the curse.

God's Commandment is very simple and straightforward indeed.

In the Garden of Eden, God gave a decree to Adam and Eve; a simple instruction that they did not obey. They got the curse and were banished from the Garden! Given the above mentioned precept, what would have Adam and Eve gotten if they obeyed God's decree? Blessing!

the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today;

Deuteronomy 11:27 (NIV)

Blessings are given if we are to obey God and follow His commandments

“the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.”

Deuteronomy 11:28 (NIV)

A curse, if we don’t follow His commandments and follow other god(s) that we have not known.

If you ask anyone or somebody, "How many Gods are there?" The answer is: One.

But if you ask this question: “What is the Name of God?” You will get many answers.

Up to the present time, people will tell you different names such as:  "Jesus", “The Lord”, "YHWH," "Yahweh," "Yah," "Jehovah," "El," "Elohim," "Adonai," "Hashem," "Allah," and many more according to the teachings of the religions. Some will answer: ‘God is called by many names’ and there are others too who are not sure that God has a name. Thus, the curse!

That's the reason for our present suffering, the curse from God. We do not call on the real name of God and we worshipped gods which were false gods.

How can we know the real name of God so we may call on Him to end this curse?

Who should everyone consult regarding the knowledge of God in the Holy Bible?

But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery

of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."
Revelation 10:7 (NIV)

Only the prophet hold the true knowledge regarding the mysteries of God; not Jesus, not the apostles and most certainly not the religions!

Is it true that only the prophets know the secrets of God? Maestro Evangelista says read in:

Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing

his plan to his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7 (NIV)

The message is very clear!  If we want to know the truth about God, we must refer to the prophets in the books of the Holy Bible so as not be deceived by other teachings.
 

How about the truth about Jesus?  Religions are saying that Jesus’ story is written in the book of the apostles, that their teachings should be followed and believed in.

Maestro Evangelista says that the best person who can reveal the real story of Jesus is Jesus himself.

So, let us read what Jesus said about this matter…

He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
Luke 24:44 (NIV)

Did Jesus tell us to consult in the books of the apostles?  The answer is NO!  In fact, he would like us to read about him in:

1. the Law of Moses, the prophet;

2. the prophets; and

3. the Psalm of David, also a prophet

Jesus did not mention that we should consult his apostles regarding the truth about him.  

Who was given the authority to reveal God's Name, was there a command that God gave before that He will send a man who reveal His Name and His Word for all men to know and understand?

What was the revelation and sign given by God so that men may identify him? God said the following to Moses:

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

Deuteronomy 18:18 (NIV)

"a prophet like you" - A prophet sent forth like Moses, having authority from God.

Where will he come from?

"from among their brothers" - He will not come from the people of Israel nor from the Middle East, but from a distant land;

"I will put my words in his mouth" - This makes him different from Moses. Moses was given authority to bring out his people from Egypt and give them the Ten Commandments during his time, but was not given the authority to reveal the Name of God to his own people. The prophet sent forth like Moses need not study or do research in the Holy Bible on what he will say regarding the Word of God. He only has to wait for the time the “Word” is given to him to reveal God’s message to everyone.

"he will tell them everything I command him" - This is why God commanded us to listen to this prophet because this coming prophet will only deliver what is given to him by God. It will be God's message and not his own.

Is it true that this coming “prophet sent forth like Moses” will reveal the name of God for us to call on so that we may end this Curse upon us?

What is God's advice to us regarding the man?

If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.

Deuteronomy 18:19 (NIV)

"If anyone does not listen" – God already gave a warning a long time ago that we should only listen to this coming prophet. Why?

"my words that the prophet speaks in my name" – Because he is the one and only man who will reveal or introduce the Name of God. Once we call on the real name of God, and humble ourselves before Him, we can finally be forgiven by God and this will end the curse upon mankind.

What will happen if others continue to ignore him?

"I myself will call him to account" - God will be the One who will seek recompense.

This is the Word of God, if anyone ignores the message or revelation given by the prophet sent forth like Moses, God is the one being ignored!

The truth is that we are experiencing this curse at present because we never used our wisdom and understanding to obey God’s command. We should listen to the coming prophet "sent forth like Moses" who will reveal His great Name. Instead of listening to the religions we should have waited for God’s last prophet.

Is it true that God will forgive us from our false worship and end this curse upon us once we call on His real name? 

All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

Psalm 25:10-11(NIV)

When we know and acknowledge the Name of God, then and only then will our sins be forgiven and the Curse upon the earth will be lifted. This is why it is important that we should listen to the prophet “like Moses”

Before, our knowledge of God’s name came from the Jews and we listened to them. But the Jews themselves do not know the real Name of God as they are cursed:

Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including the women, “Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah in Egypt. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives have shown by your actions what you promised when you said, ‘We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.’ “Go ahead then, do what you promised! Keep your vows! But hear the word of the Lord, all Jews living in Egypt: ‘I swear by my great name,’ says the Lord, ‘that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, “As surely as the Sovereign Lord lives.”

Jeremiah 44:24-26 (NIV)

When they worshipped the "queen of heaven" in their sojourn in Egypt, they were cursed by God! Their ability to say or mention the Name of God to anyone has been taken away! That is why up to this present time, the Name of God is not generally known! God gave the people of Judah in Egypt a curse that they may never say or invoke the Name of God. The curse is still in effect at present so that the Jews don't know and can't say the true Name of God. They can only use "Hashem" or “The Name” to substitute for the real Name of God.

And the people of the world, as well as the religions never knew the Name of God because they are not the ones sent by God to reveal His True Name. So, we find the religions invoking the names YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah, El, Elohim, Adonai, until they try to make the people familiar with the name "Yeshua" or "Yashua" the Hebrew name of Jesus, as the other name for God. This is the last deception.

There will be only one man, a prophet, who will come, not born from the people of Israel nor from the Middle East, but from a distant land to reveal and introduce the Name of God to the people of the world. He can do it because he is not covered by the curse that God has given to the people of Judah!

Is it true that the prophet that is promised by God to Moses will not come from the people of Judah or from the people of Israel, nor will come from the Middle East?

"As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name-

I Kings 8:41 (NIV)

"does not belong to your people Israel" - it is very clear now, the description that was given to Moses regarding “the foreigner” sent forth by God was accurate.

"come from a distant land" - the Foreigner is not covered by the Curse given before as written in Jeremiah 44:24-26.

for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm - when he comes and prays toward this temple,

I Kings 8:42 (NIV)

"for men will hear of your great name" - there will come a time that is acceptable to God when “the foreigner” will appear before the whole world through cable or satellite TV and the Internet for him to fulfill the mission that God has given him.

then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.

I Kings 8:43 (NIV)

"hear from heaven" - God is in heaven- that is why “the foreigner” will speak to the people in behalf of God. He will also proclaim that the House that king Solomon built in Jerusalem a long time ago was called by the name of God!

The current condition in the world is such that Muslims are fighting against Christians and Christians are fighting against Muslims and Muslims are fighting against Muslims. We see this now happening in the Middle East and in other countries. These conflicts and suicide bombings, in some parts of the world, has resulted in ghastly sufferings.

Let us ask the Muslims whom do they believe in?

In the book of “The Noble Qur’an in the English Language,” page 994, written by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Islamic University AL-MADINA AL-MUNAWARRA.

Descent of Jesus, son of Mary:

"I wish to remind the reader here that Jesus, son of Mary will be returning to this world before the Day of Resurrection. He will return to become a leader of the Muslim nation as has been revealed in the Qur'an: (Chapter 43:61-64)… and as narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said: "By Him (Allah) in whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus) son of Mary, will shortly descend amongst you (Muslims) and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur'an (as a just ruler) and will break the Cross and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizya (a tax levied upon the non-Muslims who are under the protection of a Muslim government. The Jizya Tax will not be accepted by Jesus and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative). Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Hadith No. 425)

Many people, in different nations, call on Jesus and anxiously await his return, as do the Muslims. What did Jesus say in the Holy Bible (the book that Muslims also believe in) regarding the killings perpetuated by Muslims?

Read in:

"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.”

John 16:1 (NIV)

 

Maestro Evangelista says: Jesus reminded that he had before warned everyone.

They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

John 16:2 (NIV)

 

Jesus knew that a time will come when there will be great misunderstanding among many people regarding his true person, his sayings and his works.

Presently, these killings are often reported in the newspapers and radio programs; even the place and time of its actual occurrence can actually be seen on cable TV, satellite television programs, and the internet!

Why? What is the reason for the killings?

The killers say that they do it as a service and praise for Jesus and God!

What is the real cause that they kill other people? What did Jesus really say about it?

They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.

John 16: 3 (NIV)

Jesus said: The reason for the killings between the opposing religions and nations is that they do not know the real God and the real Jesus.

To prove it: If you would ask people how many gods are there; they will answer: there is only one God! They are united unified in their response..

When asked about His name, they will give you many names, and they will fight over it.

It only shows that they don't really know God. Jesus himself reveals that this is one of the reasons for the curse and the fighting in the world.

If one would ask about the person of Jesus, some would say that he is a “son of God”; that he is also a god (to the Christians); and to Muslims, he is the son of Mary and only a prophet; to others and other religions, a son of God, but a man also. These are the revelation and facts that show that they don't really know Jesus. That is why the killings persist up to the present.

During Moses’ time, it was only God who was not known. Now, based on Jesus' words we can read that both God and Jesus are not known.

No one calls on the real Name of God. Thus, the Curse!

Question: How do we solve this problem?

Answer: Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista says, to finally put an end to the killings between the religions and peoples at present, he will reveal and introduce to the world the true God and the real Jesus through the Holy Bible. When this is done, the killings will end. The curse will also end when the people learn of and call upon the real name of God.

Why now?

I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.

John 16:4 (NIV)

 

Jesus did not tell his disciples everything about God and himself. The reason he never gave a clear explanation is that he was still with them. Why did he do this? Later, the reason why Jesus did not tell his disciples about these things will be known.

To continue:

"Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

John 16:5 (NIV)

And if Jesus told them where he had gone?

Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.

John 16:6 (NIV)

 

Why would they feel "grief" if Jesus really went up to heaven?

Would it mean that he went somewhere else that would make them grief-stricken to know? This is one of the mysteries that will be explained later by Maestro Evangelista.

Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista says that for us to know that the Holy Bible – a book of the Word of God, we should first read the prophecy and then its fulfillment. A clear example of this is when God said that we will be cursed when we worshipped other gods; God gave a vision to one of His prophets about what sufferings we are to experience because of the Curse.

What does the prophecy say?

What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the early figs that I crave.

Micah 7:1 (NIV)

This is the economic crisis that the world is experiencing now. There is scarcity and all the leaders of the world are now doing what they can to prevent this crisis from getting worse.

The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets.

Micah 7:2 (NIV)

All those we know who govern well have died either from accidents or from killings. It is also a time where people in high offices discredit each other for the sake of power.

Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire— they all conspire together.

Micah 7:3 (NIV)

It is a time of corruption and the leaders of the institutions that people trust to uphold law and order are the first ones to break it because of money. Much worse, is that all these powerful people conspire with each other to implement their agenda to dominate and control the lives of the people for their own personal gain. This is now happening in our time.

The best of them is like a brier, the most upright worse than a thorn hedge. The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm. Now is the time of your confusion.

Micah 7:4 (NIV)

There will be situations when the leaders that people believed to be the best and upright who can save them from their economic woes and injustice are even worse than a thorn hedge- instead of healing ,they add more wounds to their people.

We can also read here that their evil plans will come to nothing for God will not allow it. God will send people who will put an end to it. These are the people who will assist His coming prophet.

Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with the woman who lies in your embrace guard the words of your lips.

Micah 7:5 (NIV)

It is a time of distrust. What caused these sufferings? What is the key for us in understanding the root cause of these sufferings?

For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.

Micah 7:6 (NIV)

These events began when the children were taught to dishonor their parents and man has the members of his household as his enemies. Once we know the cause of this division, we can then know too, the cause of all the sufferings that the people are experiencing.

Who should we put our hopes upon for all these sufferings to end?

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

Micah 7:7 (NIV)

We should put our hopes in God to show us the way out of the miseries we are now experiencing.

The time has now come for all this misery to end.

Let us now discover what caused the children to dishonor and disobey their parents and for the family to be divided against each other?

"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!

Luke 12:49-50 (NIV)

According to Jesus himself- He brought “fire on the earth”. He also said he has a baptism to undergo. He no longer refers to the baptism of John but on his forth coming suffering and death. If Jesus was sent to die for our sins, he should not have been distressed but be more enthusiastic about it, knowing that his death will save the people of the world. His statement reveals that he does not want to die.

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

Luke 12:51 (NIV)

Jesus admitted that he brought “division” not “peace.” Who would you believe: Jesus who admitted that he brought “division” or the religions who preach that he brought “peace”?

Whom did he “divide?”

From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

Luke 12:52-53 (NIV)

 

The division began upon Jesus’ declaration here as stated in the above passage from Luke.

His teachings were the root cause why humanity was divided and suffer hardships and death; the fighting throughout history! Instead of bringing God’s blessing, he made people suffer the curse even more.

We may actually state that Jesus is no longer culpable, since for he had already admitted long ago that he brought division- it is those who continue to preach and make us put faith in their own teachings that Jesus brought peace on earth (despite Jesus’ admission).

We know now that it was Jesus who admits, that he caused these sufferings and the useless religious divisions that took countless lives.

Is it true that we should put our hope in God because He will put an end to all the chaos that Jesus brought?

What is God’s Message to us?

"Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. "You have said harsh things against me," says the LORD. "Yet you ask, 'What have we said against you?' "You have said, 'It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.' "

Malachi 3:12-15 (NIV)

This is related to the prophecy in Micah 7:1-6 which is happening at present, as we have read that it was Jesus who admitted it in Luke 12:49-53! That is why “the arrogant” are the religious leaders (who profess the divisive teachings of Jesus) that are dictating to the leaders and the people of the world to worship other gods and continue to ignore the One True God and His prophecies. Still, they are held in respect.

How about those who truly fear God and waited for His salvation as we have read in Micah 7:7?

Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.

Malachi 3:16 (NIV)

What is the promise of God to the people who honor His Name?

"They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him.

Malachi 3:17(NIV)

Those who hope in God and honor His Name will not be disappointed. For a day is coming when He will show to the world that those who first acknowledged His name are His real treasured possession- His real ‘children.’

And what shall we discover once we know the real Name of God?

And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

Malachi 3:18 (NIV)

Once we know the real Name of God, we will then know who the real servants of God are and those who were not .

What will God do now to those who will not acknowledge His name?

"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them.

Malachi 4:1 (NIV)

As it is written, God will make all those who will not acknowledge His Name disappear and no longer remain.

How about those who will revere His Name?

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.

Malachi 4:2-3 (NIV)

“on the day when I do these things" - Maestro Evangelista says: There is truly a time set for the fulfillment of God’s word.

What were God’s final words in this book:

"Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.

Malachi 4:4 (NIV)

The sign of Moses was also the giving of the Covenant by God to the people of Israel. As it is written that a man will come “like Moses" in Deuteronomy 18:18-19. The difference is that the "man" promised to Moses will bear the Covenant of God for all the people of the world so that they may understand and receive the knowledge of God’s Name and prophecies.

The covenant given before by Moses to his people did not go into effect, since the people cannot call on the Name of God because of the curse that was given to them.  

Now, the people of the world will surely accept the Covenant which "the prophet sent forth like Moses" brings before them is truly from God because it “includes” the Name of God!

"for all Israel" - Ever since, God’s message of deliverance was for the People of Israel. But let us discover who will be considered by God as the real people of Israel or His real people in our time?

This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver. and test them like gold. They will call on my name. and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people, and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’”

Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)

The people who will call on the Name of God will be called the People of God or the real People of Israel. It is no longer the people who are called by the Name or the Jews.

Is it true that when we are called the people of God – it is only then that the Covenant will take effect?

"The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

Jeremiah 31:31 (NIV)

"The time is coming" - in our present generation.

This will be the new covenant between God and his new people, the people of the world.

How is it different?

It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 31:32 (NIV)

This is how God described His former people: they did not remain faithful to Him.

That is why...

"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

Jeremiah 31:33-34 (NIV)

"Know the LORD" - the new people will know God and His Great Name.

What kind of an era? It will be a time when no man can deceive another man regarding the truth about God.

This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the LORD Almighty is his name:

Jeremiah 31:35 (NIV)

"the LORD Almighty" - the title ascribed to God, because He doesn't give reprieve to His enemies.

"Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD, "will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me."

Jeremiah 31:36 (NIV)

In the end, there will only be one nation that will stand in the world, because all the other nations will come to it and join to become one nation with it - a nation who calls on the Name of God; the New Israel, the New People of God!

It is now clear that when we call on the Name of God we will truly be in a covenant with Him and we will be called His people and He will be our God.

Let us read what God has said about His Last Prophet?

The Messenger of God, the Last Prophet

Who is he?

"See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty.

Malachi 3:1 (NIV)

“I will send my messenger” – It is clear, God sent us the prophet who bears the new covenant.

“the Lord you are seeking” – there will come a time when all the people of the world will look and ask for the Name of God. A time when the world is in chaos, due to wars, disasters, famine, plagues, and other calamities.

Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men, who will bring offerings in righteousness.

Malachi 3:2-3 (NIV)

He is the one sent forth by God to reveal the Word of God or the “fire” that will consume the religions!

Let us return to:

"See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.

Malachi 4:5 (NIV)

Elijah will no longer return in the flesh, only his sign, the “prophetic Elijah.”

Is it true that the real Elijah will not return?

As water disappears from the sea or a riverbed becomes parched and dry, so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep.

Job 14:11-12 (NIV)

The real Elijah who lived then is not the one to be return, what does return?

Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.

Ecclesiastes 3:15 (NIV)

Only the events ever return, not the people.

This means that if the prophecy or promise of God did not happen in that time, God will not stop until it is fulfilled in another time and circumstance.

What is the sign or the event that happened in Elijah’s time that will also happen in our generation?

So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing.

I Kings 18:20-21 (NIV)

This is the time that God is asking the people to choose between Him and the other gods that they have not known.

Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the LORD's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.

I Kings 18:22 (NIV)

Like Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista, he is the only prophet of God standing against the multitude of religions, Maestro Evangelista is the only one who bears the Name of God in our present time!

What is the rule of the encounter?

Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire - he is God”. Then all the people said, “What you say is good”!

I Kings 18:23-24 (NIV)

The challenge will be on calling on the name of their respective gods. The god or gods that answer the calling of their respective prophets will be the true God.

In our time, the challenge is about who can reveal the real name of God in the Bible- Maestro Evangelista or the multitude of preachers and pastors of the religions who claim that they are God’s spokespersons.

The one who can reveal the real Name of God in the Bible is the real spokesperson of God-the Prophet Elijah for our time

The ones who taught false names for God are like the prophets of Baal in our time –they are the false prophets for they made us believe that the god that they preach about is the real God but in reality, a false god.

Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire." So they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "O Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made. At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened." So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed. Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, No one answered, no one paid attention.

I Kings 18:25-29 (NIV)

Nothing happened to the offering of the prophets to the “other god” (Baal) that is not known.

This is now happening in our time, the people were taught by the religions to call on their respective gods for peace and prosperity and even made countless rituals just like what the prophets of Baal did, but the opposite is happening-wars, calamities and economic crises continually occur and it is getting even worse. It means that their prayers were not answered because they do not call on the real name of God but are worshipping false gods!

When the prophets of Baal failed, what did Elijah do?

Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me". They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which was in ruins. Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Your name shall be Israel." I Kings 18:30-31 (NIV)

The twelve stones were called “Israel.”

With the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.

I Kings 18:32(NIV)

The prophet Elijah built an altar made of the twelve stones after the twelve tribes of Jacob who was given the Name “Israel” and according to what was written , with the twelve stones, the prophet Elijah built an altar in the name of the LORD.

If the twelve stones were named Israel and the Prophet Elijah built an altar in the name of the LORD with the stones which were named Israel- what is the Name of the LORD?

The Name of the LORD is ISRAEL!

How can we even prove more to ourselves that the name ISRAEL that Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista had revealed is indeed the Name of God; that God sent him to reveal the Name to the whole world?

Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”

Daniel 9:18-19 (NIV)

And in:

the Lord appeared to him at night and said: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices. “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:12-14 (NIV)

Who are the People of God in the Bible?

“How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like your people Israel —the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

2 Samuel 7:22-24 (NIV)

The people of God are called Israel.

If the city and the people of God are called Israel, and the city and the People of Israel bear and are called by the Name of God, (Dan.9:18-19 & 2 Chr.7:12-14), what is the Name of God?

Truly, the Name of God is ISRAEL! Our God is LORD GOD ISRAEL!

Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista is indeed the real prophet "sent forth like Moses" in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and the prophetic Elijah in Malachi 4:5 whom God had sent to reveal His true name!

Let us continue with our reading:

He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood." "Do it again," he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time. The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again." Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD - he is God! The LORD - he is God!"

I Kings 18:33-39 (NIV)

The prayer of Elijah was answered by God. His God is the true God!

In our time, once we all call on God’s true name that was revealed by His prophet, Maestro Evangelista; God will hear our prayers for peace and prosperity.

God will only answer the prayers of those who call on His Name as He promised in :

"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Psalm 91:14-16 (NIV)

And in:

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:9-10 (NIV)

God will not forsake those who will call on His Great Name!

What did the people do to the prophets of the other god that is not known?

Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away”! They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.

I Kings 18:40 (NIV)

This will also happen in our time. Many of the leaders of the religions will be brought to court and be judged accordingly, because of the deception they have done to the people of the world by preaching false names for God and even made the people call on another god of their own making - named Jesus!

In our generation, what kind of “fire” will we see from God? From where will the Name of God be seen?

See, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke; his lips are full of wrath, and his tongue is a consuming fire.

Isaiah 30:27 (NIV)

The “fire” that we will see is the Word of God! And also The Name of God will come from afar… the Far East. Where in the Far East?

They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty. Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous One." But I said, "I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!"

Isaiah 24:14-16 (NIV)

In the islands in the Far East! The Philippines is the New Jerusalem!

Why is it that the Philippines is the New Jerusalem? Why is Jerusalem so special to God?

He took the carved Asherah pole he had made and put it in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and to his son Solomon, "In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.

II Kings 21:7 (NIV)

God promised that He will place his Name in Jerusalem forever. This is the reason why Jerusalem is special to God because it is in such place that His name will be proclaimed.

When we say ‘Jerusalem’ does the prophecy still refer to the old city in the Middle East?

Let us ask Jesus in:

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.

Revelation 3:12 (NIV)

Jesus said “the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem” – why is it mentioned here as “New Jerusalem?”

Maestro Evangelista says, since God will not change His promise that His Name will be placed in Jerusalem, so wherever His Name is proclaimed, that place will be called the “New Jerusalem.”

The real Name of God was proclaimed in the Philippines - the Islands in the East by Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista. Therefore, the Philippines is the New Jerusalem for God's true Name was proclaimed in this country and www.thename.ph is the proof.

There is no reason now for the Jews, Muslims and Christians to fight over Jerusalem in the Middle east for it is no longer the Jerusalem the prophecy was referring to- as it is written there is a New Jerusalem and it is the Philippines now-for the real Name of God was proclaimed here.

It is useless for these faiths to go to war with each other and to claim that they "go to war in God's Name" for the said religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - when they were not even allowed to know the Name. NONE had proclaimed the real Name of God!

Let us read Isaiah 30:27 again:

See, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke; his lips are full of wrath, and his tongue is a consuming fire.

Isaiah 30:27 (NIV)

As we read earlier, the “fire” that we will see is the Word of God!” And this "fire" will consume the:

Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. “All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them”.

Malachi 4:1 (NIV)

These are the ones who will be consumed by the “fire” or the word of God! They are the leaders of the religions and the evildoers!

What is the promise of God to those who honor His Name?

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.

Malachi 4: 3 (NIV)

Let us return to:

"See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.

Malachi 4:5 (NIV)

The coming of the Prophet Elijah means the coming of the last prophet who will reveal the true Name of God!

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Malachi 4:6 (NIV)

Why this prophecy? This means that there is one who turned away the hearts of the children from the father. Who was he?

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

Luke 12:51-53 (NIV)

Jesus turned the hearts of the children against their parents or the hearts of the People away from God through his divisive teachings. Let us read how Jesus turned away the hearts of the people from following God: First let us read the law of God about how we should treat our parents and what benefit it would be for us if we follow His commandment in Deuteronomy 5:16:

A COMMANDMENT WITH A BLESSING (if we obey)

"Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

Deuteronomy 5:16 (NIV)

"Honor your father and your mother" - if you obey this commandment, the blessing is that you will live long and prosper. Maestro Evangelista says: respect your father and mother, whether they are good or bad, you owe your life to them. One of the reasons why we have to respect them is that our parents, next to God, are our creator. God created us all, and in turn God also made us to be like God, able to create on our own, our children, after our own kind.

Next you would see a teaching that is contradictory to God’s teaching, that is “Hate you father and mother,” whose teaching is it? Satan’s! Let us now see the man who taught in the manner of Satan?

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:25-26 (NIV)

It was Jesus! He has taught according to the teaching of Satan! He taught people to be more cursed by God rather than be blessed. This is one of the proofs that Jesus did accept the offer of Satan, and the deal was for Jesus to go against and overturn God’s commandments. Similar to the way the serpent overturned God's decree in the garden.

To read more of how Jesus worshipped Satan and overturned God’s commandments go to this link: The Authority and the Glory of the World, Who Gave it to Jesus?

This is the cause why the more the prayers for peace in Jesus’ name, the more the violence and killings escalate - because they are calling on the one who brought these divisions and conflict!

As Maestro Evangelista says - it’s like calling on a fireman to bring a truck full of water to put out the fire and only to find out that they brought a truck full of gasoline to even add more fuel to the fire. Since the Prophetic Elijah – who is Maestro Evangelista, will return the hearts of the fathers to their children and the children to their fathers, it would only mean that he will show us the real Name of God so we may return to worship the real God.

Again in:

"See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Malachi 4:5-6 (NIV)

If the people of the world acknowledge the real Name of God, the real Jesus and the authority of Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista as the real prophet of God - as the prophetic Elijah and Moses for our time, the world will have true peace, prosperity and righteousness.

If we are not going to heed this calling, the earth will be totally cursed by God.

May all the peoples of the world and their leaders now make a righteous decision:

To let the religious conflict escalate and still continue your worship to a false god taught by the religions and suffer more hardships and the world be cursed by God forever?

Or...

To obey God’s command in Deut.18:18-19 to listen to the prophet like Moses, Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista, who will reveal the real Name of God so that when all call on God’s name, God will answer our prayers and Peace will then be attained because there will be no more division and the world be blessed by God forever.

Now, Maestro Evangelista leaves us a Word from God, why are we experiencing many wars, disasters, plagues and other calamities up to our present time?

Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!

As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!

Isaiah 64:1-2 (NIV)

"fire sets twigs ablaze?" - this is the present condition of the world; see the news all over the world?

"to make your name known" - God is making Himself known through His prophet, Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista. So that all may know that this is the time of the fulfillment of the prophecies.

Why God is doing these things (the wars, disasters, famine and plagues) to all of us?

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and made us waste away because of our sins.
Isaiah 64:6-7 (NIV)

"No one calls on your name" - as Prophet Isaiah had proclaimed, people are still worshipping other gods that divide them. 
 

“hidden your face” – with all the prayers for peace that people make, God is not answering. They still call on the names of their respective gods, thus the great anger of God!

So, it is advised that people should consult with Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista so that he may give the Word of God, the real solution to the present troubles of the world.

We should ponder on this and think it over, maybe it's about time we gather all people and heed the Word of God.
