How does God talk to His Prophets?
Revealed February
12, 2005
The manner in which we can return
to the Garden of Eden is finally revealed.
Remember, Moses wrote the first
five books of the Holy Bible. How was he able to write the stories of Adam,
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and others when they all lived before him?
Maestro Evangelista reveals to
us “how” Moses was able to:
The LORD would speak to Moses
face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the
camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Exodus 33:11 (NIV)
God talked to Moses in a
personal manner, and to the other prophets?
I spoke to the prophets, gave
them many visions and told parables through them."
Hosea 12:10 (NIV)
Like Maestro Evangelista, he
receives his instructions through visions from God.
And to God’s kings?
‘When your days are over and
you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who
will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one
who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his
kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does
wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men.
But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul,
whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom will endure forever
before me; your throne will be established forever.' II Samuel 7:12-16 (NIV)
God made this promise to David,
but did God directly speak with him?
Nathan reported to David all
the words of this entire revelation. II Samuel 7:17 (NIV)
Prophet Nathan was
the intermediary to the Word of God and gave it to King David. What about
David’s son, Solomon, who became a king after him; how did Solomon receive God’s
instructions?
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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will
heal their land. II Chronicles 7:12-14 (NIV)
“the LORD appeared to him”
– it could be interpreted that God did talk to Solomon directly, but let us read
more:
The LORD became angry with
Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who
had appeared to him twice. I Kings 11:9 (NIV)
It may be readily accepted that
God appeared to Solomon, what does it mean? Is it literal?
At Gibeon the LORD appeared to
Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me
to give you." 1 Kings 3:5 (NIV)
If it was mentioned that
“God appeared...” – it is through dreams and visions, not physically.
And who are the other people in
the Holy Bible that received the Word of God?
This is how the birth of Jesus
Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but
before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy
Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to
expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your
wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give
birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins." Matthew 1:18-21 (NIV)
We already know about the true
meaning of the Holy Spirit, it is the Word of God or the prophecy given by the
prophets; not God in another entity.
An Angel of God appeared to Joseph and it was in a dream; because Joseph
is not the man that is sent forth or prophesied by God. The Angel appeared or
came to see him only to remind him of the prophecy.
With regards to Isaiah, how was he
called by God to take up his mission?
In the year that King Uzziah
died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his
robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: with two
wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two
they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory." At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple
was filled with smoke. "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I
live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD
Almighty." Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had
taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, "See,
this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
Isaiah 6:1-7 (NIV)
This was the manner in which
Isaiah was called up by God. He was no different from us; he is just an
ordinary person but sent forth by God. What was his mission from God?
Then I heard the voice of the
Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am
I. Send me!" He said, "Go and tell this people: ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with
their hearts, and turn and be healed." Then I said, "For how long, O Lord?"
And he answered: "Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined
and ravaged, until the LORD has sent everyone far
away
and the land is utterly forsaken. And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste.
But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land."
Isaiah 6:8-13 (NIV)
The Word of God was given to
Isaiah, and he was sent only to his people, Israel.
Regarding the “last prophet,”
in our generation, what was the manner in which he was sent forth by God? How
was Maestro Evangelista called?
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)
This was the promise of God
before to Moses; that a prophet like him will be sent forth to deliver the Word
of God, in what way?
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)
This is the prophet sent forth
“like Moses” that bears the Word and the Name of God, because Moses was
only given the authority to write down what God had said to him. Moses was not
given the authority to reveal the Name of God.
What are the other revelations in the Holy Bible
that talks about him (Maestro)?
The word of the LORD came to
me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:4-5 (NIV)
This is the prophet that is
sent to the nations, not only to the people of Israel.
From Moses to Jesus, they were all
sent exclusively to the people of Israel.
"Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said,
"I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to
everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Jeremiah 1:6-7 (NIV)
“child”
– receiving instructions from God,
through visions, and he will only deliver what God wants people to know; he is
only a servant, a spokesman for God.
Do not be afraid of them, for I
am with you and will
rescue you," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:8 (NIV)
Presently, although the
religions are “giants” compared to Maestro Evangelista, he says he is not
afraid, because he was sent forth by God and He will be at his side.
And…
Then the LORD reached out his
hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I
have put my words in your mouth. Jeremiah 1:9 (NIV)
What is his mission for God?
See, today I appoint you over
nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and
overthrow, to build and to plant." Jeremiah 1:10 (NIV)
This is the task that God gave him, with his revelations regarding the
Word of God in the Holy Bible, surely the religions will fall. They will be
exposed for their false teachings that deceived the people regarding God and the
Commandments.
It will be a time for a new
beginning for humanity.
Regarding the prophecies:
calling the past to account.
What is the revelation that he was
instructed to show to all of us?
Maestro Evangelista says that:
if a prophecy which is written in the Old Testament, is still prophesied in the
Book of the Revelation in the New Testament, it means that the particular
prophecy has not yet been fulfilled.
What particular prophecy in the
Old Testament that is still prophesied in the Book of Revelation?
Maestro Evangelista will show
us that prophecy and its meaning in the Book of Revelation:
I was given a reed like a
measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and
count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it,
because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city
for 42 months. Revelation 11:1-2 (NIV)
This is the prophet with a rod
sent forth by God. What is the “event” that is mentioned with a duration of 42
months?
And I will give power to my two
witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." These
are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the
earth. If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours
their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. These men
have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are
prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the
earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Revelation 11:3-6 (NIV)
“two witnesses”
– who were they?
Now when they have finished
their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and
overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city,
which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was
crucified. For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and
nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the
earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,
because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth. Revelation 11:7-10 (NIV)
The teachings and the
revelations of the "two witnesses" were set aside by the religions, but not
removed from the Holy Bible. Though the religions used the Holy Bible, they did
not teach much about the revelations of the prophets. They instead advanced the
story and the sayings of Jesus, though convoluted, as the true "Word of God."
But after the three and a half
days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and
terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven
saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while
their enemies looked on.
At that very hour there was a
severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were
killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the
God of heaven. The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon. The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven,
which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,
and he will reign for ever and ever." Revelation 11:11-15 (NIV)
“Christ”
– or the "Anointed" of God, not the "Savior" which the religions refer to as
Jesus. The mission that goes with the title of "Christ" or "Khristós" in
Greek, "Māšîach" in Hebrew or "the Messiah" (anointed one) in English is
still unfulfilled, because Jesus died early in his mission.
“they went up to heaven in a
cloud” – it is only in
our present generation that the teachings of the “two witnesses” hidden
or ignored by the religions are already seen by all the people in the world,
already uploaded in the internet, at:
www.thename.ph
And the twenty-four elders, who
were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and
worshiped God, saying:
"We give thanks to you, Lord
God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name,
both small and great - and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
Revelation 11:16-19 (NIV)
“24 elders”
– these are the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles of Jesus that
are mentioned in the Holy Bible. They represent the two sides of teachings in
the Holy Bible, the Good and the Bad, the Right and Wrong, the Truth and the
Lie, Life and Death.
“time has come for judging
the dead” – for us to
know who among them had told the truth and did not.
Let us now understand the full
meaning of this prophecy as revealed by Maestro Evangelista:
I was given a reed like a
measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and
count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it,
because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy
city for 42 months. Revelation 11:1-2 (NIV)
Who is the prophet that has a
rod in the prophecies of the Old Testament?
In visions of God he took me to
the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were
some buildings that looked like a city. He took me there, and I saw a man whose
appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and
a measuring rod in his hand. The man said to me, "Son of man, look with your
eyes and hear with your ears and pay attention to everything I am going to show
you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the house of Israel
everything you see." Ezekiel 40:2-4 (NIV)
"I saw a man"
- this prophecy
speaks of a man
"whose appearance was like
bronze" - Maestro
Evangelista’s complexion is brown, like bronze.
“house of Israel”
– we will know later whether it is still the former people of Israel or is it
referring to a new people.
When shall we know of it?
Then I looked up - and there
before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand! I asked, "Where are you
going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is."
Zechariah 2:1-2 (NIV)
“a man with a measuring
line“ - The same
prophet with a rod is still mentioned by another prophet, meaning the prophecy
is still unfulfilled! What will he do?
“To measure Jerusalem”
– this is no longer the city of Jerusalem in the Middle East. The prophecy
refers to a new city.
Then the angel who was speaking
to me left, and another angel came to meet him and said to him: "Run, tell that
young man, 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number
of men and livestock in it. Zechariah 2:3-4 (NIV)
“a city without walls”
– everyone has an invitation from God to be part of His new city, no more
discrimination as to one's station in life and of the color of the skin..
And I myself will be a wall of
fire around it,' declares
the LORD, 'and I will be its glory within.' Zechariah 2:5 (NIV)
God will be the Protector of
this new city.
"Come! Come! Flee from the
land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have scattered you to the four
winds of heaven," declares the LORD. "Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!" For this is
what the LORD Almighty says: "After he has honored me and has sent me against
the nations that have plundered you - for whoever touches you touches the apple
of his eye - Zechariah 2:6-8 (NIV)
“Zion”
– the new city of God, the New Jerusalem!
“the Daughter of Babylon”
– those who worship images and idols, the religions!
“touches the apple of his
eye” – the new city
will be blessed more than the former city.
I will surely raise my hand
against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the
LORD Almighty has sent me. "Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among
you," declares the LORD. "Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day
and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the
LORD Almighty has sent me to you. Zechariah 2:9-11 (NIV)
“I will live among you”
– for the people in it
will acknowledge the Name of God on that day.
The LORD will inherit Judah as
his portion in the holy land and will again choose
Jerusalem. Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused
himself from his holy dwelling." Zechariah 2:12-13 (NIV)
Who or what is the sign of this
man (the prophet with a rod)?
Then he showed me Joshua the
high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his
right side to accuse him. Zechariah 3:1 (NIV)
If you will recall it was
Joshua who continued the work of Moses, of leading his people to the Promised
Land after their release from bondage, hence the prophetic "Joshua.”
“Satan… to accuse him”
– Maestro Evangelista says, in the Book of Genesis, the snake (Satan) tempted
and won over Adam and Eve, they were banished from the Garden of Eden, but God
said that the confrontation between the woman and the snake is not yet over
(Genesis 3:14-15). There will be a “rematch” or a second confrontation
it will be between the “offspring” of the snake and the woman.
The “offspring” of the
woman will crush the head of the snake; the prophetic "Joshua” is the
“offspring” of the woman, who will fulfill this task.
Question: What was Joshua's
important contribution to his people and why is his name still being mentioned
in this prophecy?
Moses said to the LORD, "May
the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind,
appoint a man over this community to go out and come in
before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd."
Numbers 27:15-17 (NIV)
When God told Moses that he
will not lead his people to enter the Promised Land, he asked God to appoint a
man, who will continue his work; who was chosen?
So the LORD said to Moses,
"Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him.
Have him stand before Eleazar, the priest and the entire assembly and
commission him in their presence. Give him some of your authority so the whole
Israelite community will obey him. He is to stand before Eleazar the priest,
who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD. At
his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at
his command they will come in." Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before
Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly. Then he laid his hands on him and
commissioned him, as the LORD instructed through Moses. Numbers 27:18-23 (NIV)
It was God who has chosen
Joshua, not Moses. He made the people witness the turning over of his authority
to Joshua.
In the course of the performance
of Joshua’s work, did he make any changes to the Commandments of God given by
Moses to his people? Did he remain true to his work?
There, in the presence of the
Israelites, Joshua copied on stones the Law of Moses, which he had written. All
Israel, aliens and citizens alike, with their elders, officials and judges, were
standing on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD, facing those who
carried it - the priests, who were Levites. Half of the people stood in front
of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant
of the LORD had formerly commanded when he gave instructions to bless the people
of Israel.
Afterward, Joshua read all the
words of the law - the blessings and the curses - just as it is written in the
Book of the Law. There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that
Joshua did not read to the whole assembly of Israel, including the women and
children, and the aliens who lived among them. Joshua 8:32-35 (NIV)
Joshua made a copy of the
Commandments and did not change any of it in making it known again to his
people. He was faithful to his work.
The sign of the “prophetic
Joshua” is faithfulness one's work. Let us return to:
Then he showed me Joshua the
high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his
right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan!
The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning
stick snatched from the fire?" Zechariah 3:1-2 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista is the
“prophetic Joshua” in our present generation, for he will continue the
struggle that begun in the Garden of Eden, between the offspring of the snake
and the offspring of the woman. For he is the only man in our generation who
has revealed the true meaning of the prophecy from the Book of Genesis to the
Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible. The religions never knew any of it.
“snatched from the fire”
–
Maestro Evangelista
used to belong to the religions as we have all been, but he was called up and
sent forth by God.
Now Joshua was dressed in
filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were
standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Zechariah 3:3-4 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista is very
human; he is no different from us. The only thing that makes him stand out is
that:
Then he said to Joshua, "See, I
have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."
Then I said, "Put a clean
turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him,
while the angel of the LORD stood by. Zechariah 3:5 (NIV)
That he was chosen by God.
What was the instruction given to him?
The angel of the LORD gave this
charge to Joshua: "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'If you will walk in my
ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of
my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here. Zechariah 3:6-7 (NIV)
“if you will”
– denotes a condition, like
blessing and curse.
What was the instruction given to him by God?
“walk in my ways and keep my
requirements” – the
obedience to the commandments of God. This was his instruction from God, and
also, to let the people know about it.
“my house”
– The house of Israel; the people that will call on The Name of God, the new
city of God..
“I will give you a place
among these standing here”
– if he faithfully carries out his work, God will give him blessings and be
honored as one of God’s great prophets.
And:
"Listen, O high priest Joshua
and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I
am going to bring my servant, the Branch. Zechariah 3:8 (NIV)
“your associates”
– God will give him people
that will help him in his work. How many are they?
“seated before you”
– meaning very few, a handful
but God chose them to be with Maestro Evangelista. What will they do?
“men symbolic of things to
come” – They will give
witness to Maestro Evangelista regarding his revelations. They have been with
him from the beginning of his work, and have heard of his revelations before
they happen: the same revelations you are reading now in this website.
“to bring my servant, the
Branch” – and when the
time of the fulfillment of the prophecies is about to happen, that is the time
when Maestro Evangelista will stand before the people of the world to read and
reveal the Word of God (the prophecies) that are in the Holy Bible for the good
of all.
And:
See, the stone I have set in
front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an
inscription on it,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and I will remove the sin of this
land in a single day’. "In that day each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig
tree,' declares the LORD Almighty." Zechariah 3:9-10 (NIV)
“seven eyes on that one
stone” - This is the
authority of the "prophetic Joshua" (Maestro Evangelista) from God.
“I will remove the sin of
this land in a single day”
– God will lift the curse that is presently upon us if we will heed His Word
that is being revealed by Maestro Evangelista, we will get the blessing.
"In that day" -
There is a time for its fulfillment. What
will be the kind of life people will have after its fulfillment?
“invite his neighbor to sit
under his vine and fig tree”
– A life of peace and prosperity
for all. All will find contentment and will live their lives to the fullest.
What are the other revelations
regarding the “Branch?”
A shoot will come up from the
stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. Isaiah 11:1 (NIV)
"Jesse”
– the father of King David.
“root”
– referring to Jesus, a “son of David.”
“A Branch”
– is Maestro Evangelista. Jesus talked about him before when he was still
alive. Click on the link to know more on this:
The Counselor of Jesus
What does he bring from God?
The Spirit of the LORD will
rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD – Isaiah 11:2 (NIV)
“Spirit”
– the Word of God. Maestro
Evangelista was chosen and sent forth by God to deliver His Word to the people
of the world.
"wisdom and of
understanding" - one of the most important gifts that God gave to humanity, but
taken away by the religions. Maestro Evangelista will show us how we can regain
it!
"of counsel and of power" -
many leaders from different nations will ask for his guidance on how they will
preserve the peace forever.
How will the “Branch”
(Maestro Evangelista) do it?
and he will delight in the fear
of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
Isaiah 11:3 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista has been
careful not to judge on any matter without enough proof or evidence. He values
the Commandments and Judgments of God in the Holy Bible, and will not give
preference or special favor to anyone regarding his counsel.
but with righteousness he will
judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
Isaiah 11:4 (NIV)
He will rule with
“righteousness,” and will reveal the false teachings of the religions
through the revelation of the Word of God.
Righteousness will be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around his waist. Isaiah 11:5 (NIV)
“righteousness”
– Meaning, “knowledge and
understanding,” faithful and obedient to God and His Commandments.
What will be the kind of life shall humanity
witness and enjoy?
The wolf will live with the
lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them.
Isaiah 11:6 (NIV)
A life of righteousness and
full of peace. No more suffering and fighting between nations and peoples.
“child”
– he is the prophet to the nations mentioned in Jeremiah 1:4-10
The cow will feed with the
bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The infant will play near the hole of the cobra,
and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest.
They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:7-9 (NIV)
This will be the condition of
the world on that day, no more miracles or mysteries.
In that day the Root of Jesse
will stand as a banner for the peoples;
the nations will rally to him, and
his place of rest will be glorious. Isaiah 11:10 (NIV)
This was the promise that was
given before by God to David; now it is given only in his honor.
In that day the Lord will reach
out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people
from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from
Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. Isaiah 11:11 (NIV)
This is the second time that
God will reach or stretch out His Mighty Hand, and where it will take place?
“from the islands of the sea”
– this is the place
where the fulfillment of the prophecies will take place.
He will raise a banner for the
nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth. Isaiah 11:12 (NIV)
For all nations are to be
gathered under one banner, in the Name of God.
And:
Ephraim's jealousy will vanish,
and Judah's enemies will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east. They will lay hands on Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be subject to them. The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River.
He will break it up into seven streams so that men can cross over in sandals.
Isaiah 11:13-15 (NIV)
This will lead to the end of fighting in the
Middle East and in the whole world.
The “Euphrates River” that
is still mentioned in Revelation 16:12.
There will be a highway for the
remnant of
his people that is left from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from Egypt.
Isaiah 11:16 (NIV)
Just like at the time of the Exodus.
Let us return to:
I was given a reed like a
measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and
count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it,
because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy
city for 42 months. Revelation 11:1-2 (NIV)
This is the prophet with a rod
sent forth by God. What is the event that has duration of 42 months?
The Two Witnesses
And I will give power to my two
witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. "These
are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the
earth.
Revelation 11:3-4 (NIV)
The “two witnesses” will
prophesy for 42 months (1,260 days), they were the prophets of God. What are
their signs? How will we know them?
If anyone tries to harm them,
fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who
wants to harm them must die. These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time
they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to
strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Revelation 11:5-6 (NIV)
Who is the prophet having fire
that comes from his mouth?
They replied, "He was a man
with a garment of hair and with a leather belt around his waist."
The king said, "That was Elijah
the Tishbite." Then he sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. The captain
went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, "Man
of God, the king says, 'Come down!' " Elijah answered the captain, "If I am a man of God, may fire come down from
heaven and consume you and your fifty men!" Then fire fell from heaven and
consumed the captain and his men. At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain
said to him, "Man of God, this is what the king says, 'Come down at once!'"
"If I am a man of God," Elijah replied, "may fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men!" Then the fire of God fell from heaven and
consumed him and his fifty men. So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up
and fell on his knees before Elijah. "Man of God," he begged, "please have
respect for my life and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! See, fire
has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men.
But now have respect for my life!" The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of
him." So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king. He told the king, "This is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in
Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub,
the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you
are lying on. You will certainly die!" II Kings 1:8-16 (NIV)
This is the sign of the prophet
Elijah, one of the “two witnesses” in the prophecy.
Regarding the “rain”?
After a long time, in the third
year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
"Go and present yourself to
Ahab, and I will send rain on the land." I Kings 18:1 (NIV)
Elijah was given the power to
give rain or “to shut up the sky so that it will not rain.”
Who was the prophet that has the
power “to turn the waters into blood?”
This is what the LORD says: By
this you will know that I am the LORD: With the staff that is in my hand I will
strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. Exodus 7:17 (NIV)
Moses did turn the water of the
Nile into blood. It is very clear that the “two witnesses” are Elijah
and Moses.
We have identified the “two
witnesses,” what will happen when their teachings and revelations in the
Holy Bible are seen and read again by people?
Now when they have finished
their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss
will attack them, and overpower and kill them. Revelation 11:7 (NIV)
“the beast that comes up
from the Abyss”
– with
the revelation of Maestro Evangelista regarding the teachings of the “two
witnesses,” the "beast" will also be revealed: its identity and teachings.
We already know that
Jesus was the “beast” in
Revelation 13
and also
the bright
morning star in
Isaiah 14
and that he also admitted in Revelation
22:16! It was Jesus who overturned their teachings, he changed the 10
commandments of Moses into two (Matthew 22:34-40), and showed
miracles and healings, like Elijah, but through the power of Satan and of
demons!
Their bodies will lie in the
street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where
also their Lord was crucified. For three and a half days men from every people,
tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.
Revelation 11:8-9 (NIV)
“their bodies”
– meaning, their teachings, since they lived on different times.
"where also
their Lord was crucified" - who are they
that recognizes a man crucified as their Lord? The religions! This is so,
because they recognize and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
“and refuse them burial”
– though their teachings and revelations have been disregarded, they are still
included in the Holy Bible, unnoticed and not given any preference, for it
remained so “for three and a half days.”
The inhabitants of the earth
will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two
prophets had tormented those who live on the earth. Revelation 11:10 (NIV)
The religions made new
teachings for themselves to replace the teachings of the “two witnesses;”
the false teachings that releases them from observing the true Commandments of
God.
But after the three and a half
days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet,
and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from
heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in
a cloud, while their enemies looked on. Revelation 11:11-12 (NIV)
“a breath of life from God
entered them” – The
teachings and revelations of the "Two Witnesses" are being revealed again
through the revelations of Maestro Evangelista in the Holy Bible.
“and terror struck those who
saw them” – the
religions and their believers, all over the world, are surprised that the
teachings of the "Two Witnesses" are being revealed again. They find that their
teachings and beliefs are contrary to the real teaching of God which these two
held.
“they went up to heaven in a
cloud” - Their
teachings and revelations about the Word of God were "uploaded" in the Internet
through this website -
www.thename.ph for
all the people of the world to see, read and learn from and is available
24/7/365 – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 365 days a year.
“while their enemies looked
on” – The religions and
the scholars from all over the world have seen and read the teachings and the
revelations of the “two witnesses,” that Maestro Evangelista reveals in
the website. From 2005 to date, they are silent about it and cannot refute it.
Why? Because they cannot go against it, for it is the true teachings and
revelations of the Word of God as written in the Holy Bible.
And while the people of the world are seeing and
reading the teachings and revelations of the "Two Witnesses," what will happen
next?
At that very hour there was a
severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed.
Seven thousand people were
killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the
God of heaven. The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.
Revelation 11:13-14 (NIV)
When Maestro Evangelista started revealing
the teachings and the revelations of the "Two Witnesses," many strong
earthquakes, disasters, pestilence, famine, wars, economic crises in many
countries and other events have affected most of the people in the world.
Maestro Evangelista says: soon the
"Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord" will happen.
Afterwards:
The seventh angel sounded his
trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
"The kingdom of the world has
become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,
and he will reign for ever and ever." Revelation 11:15 (NIV)
"loud voices in heaven"
- the time when the
teachings and the revelations of God will be delivered by Maestro Evangelista to
the people of the world, through the internet and satellite TV broadcast.
"The kingdom of
the world has become the kingdom of our Lord"
- That the revelations of the prophets will be
fulfilled regarding the reign of God on the world, like what was revealed in
Zechariah 14:9.
"and of his
Christ" - This is the message that God
wants us to understand through the revelation of Maestro Evangelista: when the
revelations were given to Prophet John in the book of Revelations, Jesus has
been dead for a long time, and will no longer return.
The "Christ" mentioned here is the prophet
sent forth "like Moses" that will come in our time. He will continue the
mission of making the Name of God be known by the people of the world! The title
and honor to be called "Christ" will be conferred on the man that fulfills the
revelations of God!
And the twenty-four elders, who
were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and
worshiped God,
Revelation 11:16 (NIV)
“twenty-four elders”
– Maestro Evangelista says,
this is what God is showing us, that the Holy Bible is in two portions, thus it
is the twelve (12) tribes of Israel in the Old Testament and the twelve apostles
of Jesus in the New Testament. Here you will find the difference between the
teachings of God from the teachings of Jesus.
When the true teachings have been seen by the
people of the world and the false teachings of the religions have been exposed
and finally destroyed:
saying:
"We give thanks to you, Lord
God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign. Revelation 11:17 (NIV)
The people of the world will be
united with God. There is a time for its fulfillment.
The nations were angry, and
your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small -
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
Then God’s temple in heaven was
opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his
covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an
earthquake and a severe hailstorm.
Revelation 11:18-19 (NIV)
“judging the dead, ”
– Maestro Evangelista says, "the dead" refers to the people that were mentioned
in the Holy Bible, not the people who will rise again as promised by the
religions! The revelations of Maestro Evangelista regarding the True Word of
God will reveal who among those people mentioned in the Holy Bible have been
faithful and obedient to God and who have not.
"for rewarding
your servants the prophets" - that these people, the prophets that have been
obedient to God will finally be acknowledged as the true bearers of God's Word,
not the religions.
"and your
saints" - the saints of God who have been found to be faithful to Him, not the
saints of the religions which they elected to be so. Here the distinction lies,
Maestro Evangelista says God is showing us the two sides of the matter.
"and those who
revere your name" - those who will come to hear the revelation of Maestro
Evangelista who will know and call on the Name of God.
"the ark of his
covenant" - Maestro Eraño M.
Evangelista will
bring before us the Commandments of God. This time, the Name of God will be in
it and given to the people of the world, unlike in Moses time. The former
covenant made before was never binding, they were given plenty of chance to know
the Name of God, but due to their hard-headedness and pride, God has forsaken
them. Thus, Maestro Evangelista says: although you observe the Commandments,
yet you don’t know the Name of God, it is nothing. Though you have knowledge of
the Name of God and you do not observe His commandments, then you do not fear
God. Your life is cursed and without blessing.
The Name of God should also be
with His commandments for the covenant to be binding for all time.
The knowledge of the Name of
God is the final seal to the covenant between God and to the people of the
world.
What kind of day will it be
according to the revelations of the prophets of God??
"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)
This is the time of the
destruction of the proud and the evildoers - the religions (the thieves and
those who swear falsely in the Name of God - revealed in
Zechariah 5:1-4.
What will happen to those who will fear and acknowledge the Name of God?
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)
Salvation to those who will have fear for the
Lord! God will acknowledge and bless us.
And what is God's instruction to
us?:
"Remember the law of my servant
Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him
at Horeb for all Israel. Malachi 4:4 (NIV)
"Remember the
law of my servant Moses" - The Great
Commandments given by Moses (one of the "Two Witnesses" mentioned
earlier) to his people. It will be given again by
Maestro Evangelista to the people of the world.
What are the signs regarding these events:
"See, I will send you the
prophet Elijah before that
great
and dreadful day of the LORD comes. Malachi 4:5(NIV)
Before the
"Great and Dreadful Day of the
Lord" happens, the prophet Elijah (one of the "Two Witnesses" mentioned earlier)
will come; but he has been dead for a long, long, time! Maestro Evangelista
says, it is only Elijah's sign (great events that are associated with his name)
that will happen again. What was the important event that Elijah is so great
about? For what purpose?
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)
Previously, Jesus severed the
good relationship between sons and fathers through his false teachings (breaking
the Commandments of God), and if the sons don’t return to their fathers, the
earth will forever be cursed!
What event that happened during
Elijah’s time will happen again, together with the return of the Commandments of
God given before by Moses?
The Sign of Elijah
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.
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 18:20-22 (NIV)
In our present time, we will witness the same
confrontation that happened before: Elijah against the many prophets of Baal.
This time it will be Maestro Evangelista against the religions. Many people
will see it all over the world as Maestro Evangelista reveals the Word of God,
through cable/satellite TV.
“Baal” – an unknown god.
“four hundred and fifty
prophets” – like at present, the number of the leaders and the preachers of the
religions are numerous.
In our time, Maestro Evangelista
is also the last prophet sent forth by God. He will deliver the Word of God to
the people of the world and the religions will go against him.
What kind of confrontation will it
be?
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)
It will be a confrontation wherein the people of
the world will witness Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista reading the revelations of the
"Word of God" and introducing the Great Name of God. The religions on the other
hand will try to preach their teachings for the last time.
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. 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." 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. 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!" 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 18:25-40
The knowledge of the Name of
God will destroy the religions that have corrupted His teachings and
Commandments, like the “fire” that engulfed that offering! Maestro
Evangelista will also use “fire” in our time to destroy the religions!
“Seize the prophets of Baal” – The leaders and preachers of the
religions, when they are exposed not to be in the service of God, through the
revelations of Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, will be killed by their own members
for deceiving them in serving other gods, i.e., Jesus - who cannot save others.
The wealth of the religions
that have been accumulated throughout history by way of offerings will be seized
and expropriated in favor of the people of the world. The wealth will be used to
uplift the living condition of the peoples of every nation.
What kind of “fire” will
Maestro Evangelista, the last prophet, use in our time?
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)
“fire” – the Word of God!
Where will it come from?
“comes from afar” – Not from
the Middle East, but from the nation where the man in whose mouth, the Word of
God had been placed, as revealed in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and in
Jeremiah 1:4-10, comes from!
Regarding the Garden of Eden that
was hidden before, when shall we be able to return to it?
How was the Garden of Eden hidden
from us?
And the LORD God said, "The man
has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to
reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live
forever." So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the
ground from which he had been taken. Genesis 3:22-23 (NIV)
After Adam and Eve were deceived
by the snake, it was a surprise that they were banished from the Garden of Eden
by God. Why?
Maestro Evangelista said: God gave Adam an
instruction that "you are free to eat from any tree
in the garden," save one fruit; the fruit
of the knowledge of good and evil, that if he eats it, he will die.
Adam was tested if he will remain obedient to
God, but he let himself be indirectly deceived by the
snake (through Eve), and did not obey God and His instruction. Who should be
banished?
They (Adam and Eve) were given the intellect
and the simple instruction that they should obey, yet they did not follow the
instruction given, and they were banished from the
Garden of Eden!
“tree of life”
– God does not want disobedient people, that is why they will not be allowed to
live longer. Adam, with Eve, was brought back where he was taken from before,
out of the Garden of Eden.
And:
After he drove the man out, he
placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim
and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard
the way to the tree of life. Genesis 3:24 (NIV)
In the east, God had placed a
cherubim (an angel/messenger), what does it have on its hand?
“flaming sword flashing back
and forth to guard the way to the tree of life”
- the Garden of Eden was not taken away, it’s understanding was only hidden from
us. It is still here.
Now, at this very moment,
Maestro Evangelista will show us the way to pass the angel without being harmed
by the flaming sword and discover the path that leads to the tree of life.
One of the mysteries of
the Garden of Eden will be finally be revealed to us by God through His prophet,
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista:
The Return to the Garden of
Eden
Who will be allowed to return to
the Garden of Eden, in our present time?
But now, this is what the LORD
says - he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 43:1 (NIV)
"O Israel ... for I have
redeemed you" - They are the new people of God!
When you pass through the
waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
“through the waters”
– like the time of Moses, as they crossed the waters, God was with them.
“through the fire”
– we will not be burned by the
fire from the "flaming sword" of the cherubim as we enter the Garden of Eden;
how is this possible?
Because Maestro
Evangelista is the symbolic Cherubim in our time; he is the angel (prophet) from
the east (the islands) that was placed (sent forth) to guard the way (to let the
people hear and read) to the Garden of Eden (about the revelations of the Word
of God, the fire from heaven so that all may call on the Great Name of God!) - a
life full of Blessings.
Though you may observe God's
Teachings / Commandments; but you don't know His True Name or even the Cherubim
that guards the way, you will not be allowed to travel the path that leads to
the Garden of Eden. We should also respect the man, Maestro Eraño M.
Evangelista,
the prophet sent forth "like Moses," in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, so
that God may know if we really obey His Commandments!
For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.
Isaiah 43:3-4 (NIV)
God calls upon all people.
Do not be afraid, for I am with
you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth - everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." Isaiah 43:5-7 (NIV)
Who will be allowed to enter the
Garden of Eden?
All who acknowledge and call on
the Name and obey the Commandments of God and heed the revelations of Maestro
Evangelista will have the right to enter the Garden of Eden and partake of the
Fruit of the Tree of Life!
What is our mission for God?
Lead out those who have eyes
but are blind, who have ears but are deaf. Isaiah 43:8 (NIV)
To let the people, who have
been deceived by the religions, know the ultimate truth about God and of His
Great Name and finally receive salvation!
And what will the people say when
they finally understand the Word and the Name of God?
All the nations gather together
and the peoples assemble. Which of them foretold this and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their
witnesses to prove they were right, so that others may hear and say, "It is true."
Isaiah 43:9 (NIV)
The people will say “It is
true.” It is because they knew of the fulfillment of the prophecies
beforehand from the revelations of His Prophet, Maestro Evangelista.
What shall we give witness to God?
"You are my witnesses,"
declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed - I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.
Isaiah 43:10-12 (NIV)
That we are God’s Witnesses,
not the religions, on that day; God is the only Savior, no one else!
Regarding the companions of
Maestro Evangelista, what is the prophecy about them?
What will be revealed along with
it in that "day?"
One of the seven angels who had
the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of
the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the
earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with
the wine of her adulteries." Revelation 17:1-2 (NIV)
“the great prostitute, who
sits on many waters” –
later we will know about her identity.
Then the angel carried me away
in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that
was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:3 (NIV)
“a woman sitting on a
scarlet beast” – and
who is she?
“a scarlet beast that was
covered with blasphemous names”
– deceptions and lies about God.
“seven heads" -
many faces or forms.
"and ten horns”
– having power that has an end.
How is the "woman"
called?
The woman was dressed in purple
and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held
a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her
adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:4-5 (NIV)
“BABYLON”
– the great mother, because many religions sprang from her, covered in mysteries
that made people be deceived by her.
I saw that the woman was drunk
with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.
Revelation 17:6 (NIV)
“the blood of the saints,
the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus”
– the woman’s greatness grew upon the sacrifices and martyrdom of people who
have given up their lives to Jesus!
Then the angel said to me: "Why
are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery
of the woman and of the beast she rides, which
has the seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:7 (NIV)
This is the time of the
revelation of the identity of the woman, the “great prostitute.” Her
mystery will be removed, together with the “beast.”
Who was the "Beast?"
The beast, which you saw, once
was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction.
The inhabitants of the earth
whose names have not been written in the book of life from
the creation of the world will be astonished when they see
the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet
will come. Revelation 17:8 (NIV)
“once was”
– He was chosen before by God to fulfill a mission.
"now is not" - but did
not succeed. Click on the link if you want to read more about
"The Testimony of Jesus."
"and will come
up" - to be exposed finally to the people
of the world as the
"beast" in the Holy Bible!
“inhabitants of the earth
whose names have not been written in the book of life”
- the people who have placed their faith in Jesus and in the religions will be
surprised to know that they will not be saved in that “Great and Dreadful Day of
the Lord.”
"This calls for a mind with
wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the
woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen,
one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must
remain for a little while. The beast who once was, and now is not, is
an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. Revelation 17:9-11 (NIV)
Remember, John the Prophet
received these visions from God, so he put it in writing. And in our time,
Maestro Evangelista, who bears the Word of God, will explain or reveal to us the
visions of John the Prophet.
Maestro Evangelista says:
“seven hills on which the
woman sits” - the
Vatican in Rome, the mother of Christianity!
“seven kings”
– the many religions that spawned out of the mother church!
“The beast"
– Jesus.
“an eighth king. He belongs
to the seven and is going to his destruction.”
– This is the Islamic religion, because they also had placed their faith in
Jesus, for they await the return of Jesus as a Muslim.
"The ten horns you saw are ten
kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive
authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will
give their power and authority to the beast. Revelation 17:12-13 (NIV)
These are the many religions
that spawned from the mother church, but they are united in giving praise and
glory to Jesus, as their "Savior!"
What will they do for Jesus’ sake
on that "day?"
They will make war against the
Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of
kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
Revelation 17:14 (NIV)
“the Lamb”
– this title never went to Jesus, because if Jesus was obedient to God and had
fulfilled his mission, there would be no need for the visions that we are
reading now. There would be no need to be given to and be written by John the
Prophet.
“They will make war against
the Lamb” - They will
go against the revelations of Maestro Evangelista, the prophet of God; they will
do it to defend the teaching of Jesus in the belief that in Jesus’ name
(supposedly the Lamb of God) they will be saved. Will they succeed?
“will overcome them”
– The outcome has already been
decided by the revelations of the Word of God in the Holy Bible.
Why? What does Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista have?
“Lord of lords and King of
kings” – in our time,
this is the “full blanket” authority given by God to His last prophet,
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, for he bears the Word of God. It is not a claim or a
state of divinity but a sign that Maestro Evangelista truly is the spokesman of
God!
“and with him…”
- Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista will have companions to help and give witness to him
on that day. How will they be called?
“will be his called, chosen
and faithful followers”
- that in spite of all the
hardships that they have encountered through the years, they remained faithful
to the teachings and the revelations, and respected the man who gave it. This
is the honor that will be given to them.
And:
Then the angel said to me, "The
waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples,
multitudes, nations and languages. Revelations 17:15 (NIV)
Look and see for yourself,
there are churches and temples in every city of every nation in the world. They
practically control people and governments. This is the unseen power of this
“mother church.”
The beast and the ten horns you
saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her
naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. Revelations 17:16 (NIV)
“the ten horns”
– the religions that sprang out of
the mother church will go against it, and try to destroy it. Historically, it
had plenty of division, with members breaking away to form new faiths.
For God has put it into their
hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast
their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled. The woman you saw is
the great city that rules over the kings of the earth." Revelation 17:17-18 (NIV)
All of the churches and
religions will be destroyed with the coming of God on that "Day!"
When will all these come into
fulfillment?
After this I saw another angel
coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the
earth was illuminated by his splendor. Revelation 18:1 (NIV)
“another angel”
– another message, as in the prophecy of
Isaiah, the prophet sent forth "like Moses" will come to give glory to the world
– for he bears the Name of God. And he has a message from God:
With a mighty voice he shouted:
"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the
Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
Revelation 18:2-3 (NIV)
The message that the
destruction of the Great Babylon (all the religions)
has started!
Then I heard another voice from
heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues; Revelation 18:4 (NIV)
This is the calling of God to
all the people of the world, get out of the religions! For the time of its
destruction has come!
for her sins are piled up to
heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she
has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave
herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow,
and I will never mourn.' Revelation 18:5-7 (NIV)
Babylon (the mother church and
the religions) have enslaved the people and deceived them to worship the
"Beast" (Jesus) as a god.
Therefore in one day her
plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her
luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!' "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more - cargoes of gold,
silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple,
silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron
wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and
marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of
wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and
carriages; and bodies and souls of men. Revelation 18:8-13 (NIV)
Babylon (the religions) will be
destroyed, and the offerings and businesses that goes with it.
"They will say, 'The fruit you
longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never
to be recovered.' The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth
from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn
and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn
their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her
burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' Revelation 18:14-18 (NIV)
“one hour”
- All will witness its downfall and final destruction in an hour’s time! Is it
true that it will only take an hour of time to make Great Babylon fall?
They will throw dust on their
heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea
became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
Revelation 18:19 (NIV)
True! It will only take an
hour’s time for Great Babylon (the religions) to fall. This is the second time
that the fall was mentioned.
Rejoice over her, O heaven!
Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' " Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:
"With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.
The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again.
No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."
Revelation 18:20-24 (NIV)
The religions
will
be destroyed! All of its rituals and celebrations will no longer be performed.
Hallelujah! After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven
shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants." And again they shouted:
"Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever." The twenty four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:
"Amen, Hallelujah!" Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
"Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!" Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Revelation 19:1-6 (NIV)
"twenty four
elders" - symbolizing the 12 tribes of
Israel in the Old Testament and the 12 apostles of Jesus in the New Testament;
the two sides of the Teaching in the Holy Bible: the Blessing and the Curse, the
Truth and the Lie, the Good and the Bad, Life and Death.
"the four living
creatures" - the angels of God.
“like a great multitude”
– all the people who were saved after that day will give praise and glory to
God.
Let us rejoice and be glad and
give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."
(Fine linen stands for the righteous
acts of the saints.) Revelation 19:7-8 (NIV)
“the wedding”
– this is the institution of the covenant between the people (the bride) and
God,
“Lamb”
- Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista (the Last Prophet) is the messenger of the covenant.
It is only a title given to the man who will fulfill the revelations of God.
Then the angel said to me,
"Write: 'Blessed are those who are
invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' "And he added, "These are the true words of God."
Revelation 19:9 (NIV)
This is the invitation of God
regarding the “wedding” or the institution of the New House of Israel.
At this I fell at his feet to
worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you
and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For
the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10 (NIV)
“testimony
of Jesus”
–
This is one of the messages that Maestro
Eraño M. Evangelista brings, so that all men may
no longer be deceived by the religions.
"Worship God!" -
to return the people to God.
And:
I saw heaven standing open and
there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.
With justice he judges and makes war. Revelation 19:11 (NIV)
“Faithful and True”
– for Maestro Evangelista had
remained obedient to God
"he judges" - he
discloses the Judgment of God through his revelations of the Word of God and he
does it with wisdom and understanding.
“and makes war”
– against the religions and to the Great Babylon.
His eyes are like blazing fire,
and on his head are many crowns.
He has a name written
on him that no one knows but he himself.
He is
dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. Revelation 19:12-13 (NIV)
From Moses to Jesus, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista was already prophesied by God in the Holy Bible. They even
described him clearly in their revelations. This is the vivid description of
the vision given to and written by the Prophet John of Patmos in the Book of the
Revelation. This is how he saw the vision of Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista
fulfilling the prophecies on that "Day;" that is, the “Great and Dreadful Day of
the Lord.”
“his name is the Word of
God” – this is Eraño M.
Evangelista's name – in other words, the New Era Evangelist!
The armies of heaven were
following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and
clean. Revelation 19:14 (NIV)
“The armies of heaven”
- these are the people who will be with Maestro Evangelista on that "Day" –
they are the “called, chosen and faithful followers.”
Out of his mouth comes a
sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with
an iron scepter. "He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of
God Almighty. Revelation 19:15 (NIV)
“a sharp sword”
– that will destroy the deceptive teachings of the religions; bring them to
their downfall!
“an iron scepter”
– this is his authority from God as he was mentioned in the other prophecies of
the prophets of God in the Holy Bible.
On his robe and on his
thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:16 (NIV)
“KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF
LORDS” – this is the
title and authority that God had given him to accomplish his mission and to
fulfill the prophecies on that “Great and Dreadful day.”
Let us now understand the meanings
of the signs given by Prophet John in his visions in the Book of Revelation:
I saw heaven standing open
and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and
True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing
fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no
one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his
name is the Word of God. Revelation 19:11-13 (NIV)
“a white horse”
– the sign of authority and power
“Faithful and True”
– again, let us read an earlier revelation on the person.
"To the angel of the church
in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true,
who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts
no one can open. Revelation 3:7 (NIV)
“who holds the key of David”
– this man will no longer come from the bloodline of David, he will only fulfill
the revelations of God in our time.
And what else?
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)
“I will write on him the name
of my God” – From the
man who is called “Faithful and True” and who rides on a “White
Horse,” we will also find three signs from him:
1. the Name of God,
2. the New City of God, the
New Jerusalem, and
3. the new name of Jesus.
Did Jesus know about
his coming?
"If you love me, you will
obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you
another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world
cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know
him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:15-17 (NIV)
Jesus prayed to God
for a replacement and God will choose whom to send in his place, thus, the
replacement was called a “Counselor,” that will be with us forever.
The “Counselor”
also bears the “Spirit of Truth” – the Word of God, meaning, the
“Counselor” is a prophet of God.
What is the mission
of the
“Counselor?”
But the Counselor, the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and
will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26 (NIV)
The “Counselor”
will reveal to us the real Jesus in the Holy Bible, not what the religions have
taught us through their doctrines. Jesus knew that a “Counselor” will come.
“will send in my name”
- The “Counselor” will give light or understanding to the teachings and
statements that Jesus made before but were never understood by the people.
Thus, up to this day, people are divided (fighting and killing with each other)
about it.
Maestro Evangelista
is the “Counselor” whom Jesus talked about before.
Let us return to:
His eyes are like blazing
fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no
one knows but he himself. Revelation 19:12 (NIV)
Why it is written
“eyes are like blazing fire?” What makes Maestro Evangelista stand out?
"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)
This is the
“Counselor”
that Jesus talked about, the messenger bearing the Word of God.
“the messenger of
the covenant” – Maestro
Evangelista has revealed to us
the Name of God, the final seal to the covenant between men and God.
Moses did not have the authority to reveal the Name, so the covenant made
before was lacking in authority, for they did not know the Name of God.
What is his mission
for God?
But 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)
The “Counselor,”
Maestro Evangelista, will determine those who will serve God - the Levites.
and the offerings of Judah
and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in
former years. "So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be
quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those
who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the
fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the
LORD Almighty.
"I the LORD do not change.
So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
Malachi 3:4-6 (NIV)
For this is the
"Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord," God will judge all, and will save His
people - those who call on His Great Name.
Let us return to:
He is dressed in a robe
dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. Revelation 19:13
(NIV)
“a robe dipped in blood”
– What does it mean?
Who is this coming from
Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this,
robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength?
"It is I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save." Why are
your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress? "I have
trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me. I
trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their
blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing. Isaiah
63:1-3 (NIV)
In righteousness, God will judge
all.
“Edom”
– from the Gentiles, not from the
people of Israel, that is why Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista is also called the
“Foreigner” – I Kings 8:41-43.
“I have trodden the winepress
alone” – it will be in
a time when Maestro Evangelista will stand against all the religions of the
world.
For the day of vengeance
was in my heart, and the year of my redemption has come. I looked,
but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm worked salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained
me. I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground." Isaiah 63:4-6 (NIV)
“I was appalled that no one
gave support” – from
the very beginning and through the years, he was alone in his mission.
He is dressed in a robe
dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were
following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and
clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the
nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress
of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. Revelation 19:13-15 (NIV)
“his name is the Word of God”
– Eraño M. Evangelista.
“Out of his mouth comes a sharp
sword” and an
“iron scepter” – this is his mission for God, to reveal the Word and the
Name of God to all the people of the world.
And where will he
come from?
Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called
me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. Isaiah 49:1 (NIV)
The Prophet of God
will come from the islands from a distant land. He was called and named by God
in the revelations in the Holy Bible; “the Word of God” – Eraño M.
Evangelista, the man who bears the Word of God.
He made my mouth like a
sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me
into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. He said to me,
"You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor."
Isaiah 49:2-3 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista
was revealed before in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, in Jeremiah
1:4-10 and in I Kings 8:41-43 in the Holy Bible. Jesus
even mentioned his coming in Revelation 22:16. His mission is to
reveal to the people of the world the real Name of God so that they may call on
the Name and be saved when the "Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord" comes.
“You are my servant”
– in the service of God bearing the Name.
But I said, "I have labored
to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. Yet
what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God."
Isaiah 49:4 (NIV)
Maestro Eraño M.
Evangelista does not ask for charity or any offering from anyone in fulfilling
his mission. God will provide for his needs.
And now the LORD says -
he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to
him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of
the LORD and my God has been my strength - Isaiah 49:5 (NIV)
This is his mission:
To lead all men to return to God through the revelation of the True Word of God
written in the Holy Bible.
He says: "It is too
small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a
light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of
the earth." Isaiah 49:6 (NIV)
“a light”
– to teach men the understanding of God, that they may receive salvation from
Him.
This is what the LORD says
- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel - to him who was despised and
abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see
you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD,
who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
Isaiah 49:7 (NIV)
“has chosen you”
– Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista was chosen out of the more than six billion people
in the world in our time.
When will God make
this all happen?
This is what the LORD says:
"In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation
I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the
people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!'
"They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill.
Isaiah 49:8-9 (NIV)
God will make it
all happen at an appointed time, the prophecies are being revealed and the signs are
already seen.
They will neither hunger
nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He
who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs
of water. I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways
will be raised up. See, they will come from afar - some from the
north, some from the west, some from the region of Aswan." Isaiah
49:10-12 (NIV)
“springs of water”
– God is the “springs of
water”
Those who will return to
God will come from all over the world.
Shout for joy, O heavens;
rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD
comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me."
Isaiah 49:13-14 (NIV)
This is the promise
that God is giving to His people. Will God forget His promise?
"Can a mother forget the
baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have
engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
Isaiah 49:15-16 (NIV)
God will be with His
people forever; the people who will call on His Great Name and obey His
Commandments..
This is the assurance
God gives to His New People, the New Israel.
Out of his mouth comes a
sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with
an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God
Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING
OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:15-16
The Prophet of God
will rule with “a sharp sword” & “an iron scepter.”
What does it mean?
Who is the man that
was revealed by the other prophets of God that will be given “an iron scepter?”
Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and
the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed
One. "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their
fetters." Psalm 2:1-3 (NIV)
This is the time when
all religions will come to face the Prophet of God on that "day."
This has not yet
happened. What will God do on that “day?”
The One enthroned in heaven
laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, Psalm 2:4-5 (NIV)
God will destroy them
all!
"I have installed my King
on Zion, my holy hill." I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He
said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of
me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth
your possession. Psalm 2:6-8 (NIV)
“I have installed my King”
– God is showing every
one that He had chosen Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista to be His prophet to the
nations.
What was given to
Maestro Evangelista?
You will rule them with an
iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery." Psalm
2:9 (NIV)
God has given the
authority to Maestro Evangelista to reveal and fulfill God’s Word in the Holy
Bible to the detriment of the religions!
What is the advice
that God is giving to all regarding His Prophet?
Therefore, you kings, be
wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and
you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalm 2:10-12 (NIV)
“Kiss the Son”
- To respect God’s Prophet. He has a revelation to fulfill, and it is for the
good of all for he knows the way that leads back to God and to the tree of life
in the Garden of Eden.
What do we mean by
“iron scepter?”
A shoot will come up from
the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
Isaiah 11:1 (NIV)
"a Branch - He is Maestro
Evangelista.
The Spirit of the LORD will
rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit
of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the
LORD – Isaiah 11:2 (NIV)
“Spirit of the Lord”
– the Word of God that was
placed on his mouth, in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and Jeremiah
1:4-10.
and he will delight in the
fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears; Isaiah 11:3 (NIV)
“fear of the LORD”
– with wisdom and
understanding, he will make sure that all sides have been heard and will give a
resolution on the issue according to the Commandments of God in the Holy bible.
How will he judge?
but with righteousness he
will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor
of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4 (NIV)
He will rule with
wisdom and understanding.
“the rod of his mouth”
– he will judge according to the Word of God as written in the Holy Bible.
Is it true that no one can go
against the teaching of God that the prophet brings?
"Be silent before me, you
islands! Let the nations renew their strength! Let them come forward
and speak; let us meet together at the place of judgment. Isaiah
41:1 (NIV)
“islands”
– this is the Place of Judgment of God. In what particular region are the
islands located?
"Who has stirred up one
from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands
nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to
dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow. Isaiah 41:2
(NIV)
From the “east”
– the islands in the east!
A righteous man,
having wisdom and understanding, is given the authority by God to fulfill the
revelations.
He pursues them and moves
on unscathed, by a path his feet have not traveled before. Who has
done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the
beginning? I, the LORD - with the first of them and with the last -
I am he." Isaiah 41:3-4 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista
is the only man who has revealed the true meaning of the Word of God from the
Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible.
The islands have seen it
and fear; the ends of the earth tremble. They approach and come forward;
each helps the other and says to his brother, "Be strong!" The craftsman
encourages the goldsmith, and he who smoothes with the hammer spurs on
him who strikes the anvil. He says of the welding, "It is good." He
nails down the idol so it will not topple. "But you, O Israel, my
servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my
friend, I took you from the ends of the
earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my
servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. Isaiah
41:5-9 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista
is the Last Prophet of God. What is the promise given to him by God?
So do not fear, for I am
with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen
you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
God is with him.
What will happen to those who will go against him in the
fulfillment of his mission?
"All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as
nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find
them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.
Isaiah
41:11-12 (NIV)
No one will stand
against and prevail over him and his revelations regarding the Word of God that
he bears. Almost always, those who come to dispute him soon decide to go into
God’s side after learning the truth.
For I am the LORD, your
God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel,
for I myself will help you," declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the
Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:13-14 (NIV)
“worm Jacob”
– he is underestimated or
belittled by the religions and others.
At the time when Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista comes out to stand against the religions, how will God help him?
"See, I will make you into
a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh
the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. You will
winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away.
But you will rejoice in the LORD and glory in the Holy One of
Israel. Isaiah 41:15-16 (NIV)
God will help him to
destroy the religions, through God’s Word in the Holy Bible!
What will God say
about His prophet?
The Servant of the Lord
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.
Isaiah 42:1 (NIV)
“servant”
- The prophet sent forth to deliver the Word of God!
“I will put my Spirit on him”
– as it was revealed in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and in Jeremiah
1:4-10.
He will not shout or cry
out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not
break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness
he will bring forth justice; Isaiah 42:2-3 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista
will not break or change the true teachings and Commandments of God.
Where will he come
from?
he will not falter or be
discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the
islands will put their hope." Isaiah 42:4 (NIV)
“islands”
– the islands are mentioned again,
in the Philippines; the place where God’s Name and the Commandments will be
given to the people of the world.
This is what God the LORD
says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread
out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its
people, and life to those who walk on it: "I, the LORD, have called
you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you
and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for
the Gentiles, Isaiah 42:5-6 (NIV)
Moses was sent forth
to lead his people back to God; but in our time, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista is
sent forth to lead all people to finally know God and have peace for all time.
What is the mission of Maestro
Evangelista?
to open eyes that are
blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon
those who sit in darkness. "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will
not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. Isaiah 42:7-8
(NIV)
To introduce the One
True God to all men!
See, the former things have
taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being
I announce them to you." Isaiah 42:9 (NIV)
God is giving a new
revelation:
Sing to the LORD a new
song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the
sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.
Isaiah 42:10 (NIV)
Did Jesus know about this
revelation?
I have other sheep that are not
of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my
voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
John 10:16 (NIV)
“other sheep”
– who are they? Though the place was not mentioned, who will be its shepherd?
They will come with
weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them
beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel's father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
Jeremiah 31:9 (NIV)
“I am Israel's
father”
– the Name given to
Jacob, he was chosen by God to be His people.
"Hear the word of the LORD,
O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: 'He who scattered
Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.'
Jeremiah 31:10 (NIV)
“in distant
coastlands”
– in the far islands
revealed by the other prophets of God, not in the Middle East that is full of
desert.
“like a shepherd”
– it is no longer Jesus.
Who was “Ephraim?” Who was
recognized before by God as his firstborn?
Then say to Pharaoh, 'This
is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, Exodus 4:22 (NIV)
Israel, his chosen
people, brought out of Egypt by Moses.
Let us return to:
They will come with
weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside
streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because I am
Israel's father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. "Hear the word of
the LORD, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: 'He who scattered
Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.'
Jeremiah 31:9-10 (NIV)
Now, this time, God
is saying that Ephraim is His firstborn son. They will come from the
“islands.” Who was Ephraim before?
"Now then, your two sons
born to you in Egypt before I came to you here will be reckoned as mine;
Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine. Any
children born to you after them will be yours; in the territory they inherit
they will be reckoned under the names of their brothers. As I was returning
from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died in the land of Canaan while we were
still on the way, a little distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there
beside the road to Ephrath" (that is, Bethlehem). When Israel saw
the sons of Joseph, he asked, "Who are these?" "They are the sons God has
given me here," Joseph said to his father. Then Israel said, "Bring them
to me so I may bless them." Now Israel's eyes were failing because of old
age, and he could hardly see. So Joseph brought his sons close to him, and
his father kissed them and embraced them. Israel said to Joseph, "I never
expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your
children too." Then Joseph removed them from Israel's knees and bowed
down with his face to the ground. And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on
his right toward Israel's left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel's
right hand, and brought them close to him. But Israel reached out his right
hand and put it on Ephraim's head, though he was the younger, and crossing
his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh's head, even though Manasseh was
the firstborn. Then he blessed Joseph and said, "May the God before whom
my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd
all my life to this day, the Angel who has delivered me from all harm -
may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of
my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly upon the earth."
Genesis 48:5-16 (NIV)
It was Jacob (called
Israel) who was saying that the two sons of Joseph were given to him as his
sons; Manasseh was the eldest and Ephraim was the youngest.
When Joseph saw his father
placing his right hand on Ephraim's head he was displeased; so he took hold
of his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Joseph said to him, "No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your
right hand on his head." But his father refused and said, "I know, my
son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will become great.
Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his
descendants will become a group of nations." Genesis 48:17-19 (NIV)
Ephraim was blessed by
Jacob to be foremost, not Manasseh. Despite Joseph’s opposition, Ephraim was
blessed, and given a promise that his “descendants will become a group of
nations.”
How was Jacob called
by the Name?
The man asked him, "What is
your name?" "Jacob," he answered. Then the man said, "Your name will no
longer be Jacob, but Israel,
because you have struggled
with God and with men and have overcome." Genesis 32:27-28 (NIV)
He overcame the man
of God. Why was he given the Name?
After Jacob returned from
Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him. God said to him,
"Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will
be Israel." So he named him Israel. And God said to him, "I am God
Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community
of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.
Genesis 35:9-11 (NIV)
“A nation and a community of
nations will come from you”
– the promise given to Jacob by God.
They will come with
weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them
beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel's father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. "Hear
the word of the LORD, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands:
'He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock
like a shepherd.' For the LORD will ransom Jacob and redeem them
from the hand of those stronger than they. Jeremiah 31:9-11 (NIV)
Now it is very clear,
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista and his companions, and the new people of God (who
will call on the Name) will be triumphant on that "Day!
“O nations”
– the gentile world.
“those stronger than
they”
– the religions
“Israel”
– Jacob was called by the Name.
“Ephraim”
– his descendants are the
Gentiles.
How will it be
possible that the
“Ephraimites” or Gentiles will be called “Israelites,” the new
people of God?
The word of the LORD came
to me: "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to
Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of
wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim's stick, belonging to Joseph and all the
house of Israel associated with him.' Join them together into one stick so
that they will become one in your hand. "When your countrymen ask you,
'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?' say to them, 'This is what the
Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph - which is in
Ephraim's hand - and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join
it to Judah's stick, making them a single stick of wood, and they will
become one in my hand.' Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written
on and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the
Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from
all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one
nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over
all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two
kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile
images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their
sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I
will be their God. Ezekiel 37:15-23 (NIV)
“Judah”
– the son of Jacob (who was named
Israel).
The old
tribes of Israel and the Gentiles (Ephraim) will be united with the New House of
Israel.
“associated with him”
– Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista and his companions.
This is the
unification of all the peoples of the world, regardless of race and social
standing, on that "day!" Peace in our time!
