For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed 1 Peter 4 7 The end of all things is at hand . Be ye therefore discreet, and sober, that ye may be apt to prayers James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh . Paul is stating they were going to be in the presence of Christ in His second coming ---> 1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming ? 1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 1 Thessalonians 4 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and trompe of God. And the dead in Christ shall arise first : then shall we which live and remain, be caught up with them also in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Is Timothy still Waiting? 1 Timothy 6 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, which quick eneth all things, and before Jesus Christ, which under Pon tius Pilate witnessed a good witnessing, that thou keep the commandment without spot, so that no man find fault with thee, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. [We don't see the holy city any more and we have misinterpreted many passages.] Revelation 22 19 And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city , and from those things which are written in this book. The bible was preached around the world: ( Matthew 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come .) Romans 10 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing cometh by the word of God. But I ask: have they not heard? No doubt, their sound went out into all lands: and their words into the ends of the world Romans 16 25 To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, where with I preach Jesus Christ, in opening of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, and now is opened at this time and declared in the scriptures of prophecy, at the commandment of the everlasting God, to stir up obedience to the faith published among all nations Colossians 1 3 We give thanks to God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ alway praying for you in our prayers, since we heard of your faith which ye have in Christ Jesu: and of the love which ye bear to all saints for the hope’s sake which is laid up in store for you in heaven, of which hope ye have heard by the true word of the gospel, which is come unto you, even as it is into all the world Colossians 1 23 i f ye continue grounded and stablished in the faith, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, whereof ye have heard , how that it is preached among all creatures, which are under heaven , whereof I Paul am made a minister. The Bible confirms the gospel was preached to the whole world before revelation was written. The disciples believed they would see Jesus return in their lifetimes. Jesus talked to his disciples 2000 years ago prophesying to them about what they were going to see. The 'Book of Martyrs' by John Foxe also testifies of this: https://www.matthewsbible.com/bookofmartyrs The bible says Jesus is coming soon because he did come soon. According to the historical written record: According to many historical records Jesus face appeared in the skies, seen by many. Multiple historians of the first centuries documented fiery armies and fiery chariots surrounding the cities of Israel. The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, testified in his epistles 'Wars of the Jews', book 6, chapter 5, section 2 and 3 about chariots and troops of soldiers running about among the clouds and surrounding cities. The Roman historian Gaius Tacitus testified the same in his book 'The Histories', book 5 § 13. The Greek Christian historian Pseudo-Hegesippus (66-70 AD) wrote in book 5 chapter 44 of the latin version a burning comet coming like a fire and a sword being in the air for a year announcing with iron and fire the coming destruction of the people, the kingdom and the city itself. His writings testified of a certain figure of tremendous size appearing in the sky, which many saw, just as the books of the Jews have disclosed, and in the clouds chariots and armed battle arrays, by which the cities of all Iudaea and its territories were invaded. Eusebius of Caeserea wrote in his history book 3, chapter 8 of Ecclesiastical history about a star standing over the city like a sword and a comet for a whole year. He also reported about testimonies over the whole country about chariots and armed troops coursing through the clouds and surrounding the cities. Sepher Yosippon writer of 'A mediaeval history of ancient Israel' wrote about a single great star shining like swords located over the temple and seen above the Holy of Holies and for a whole night a outline of a man's face, the like of whose beauty had never been seen in all the land, and his appearance was quite awesome. He wrote about people seeing chariots of fire and horsemen, a great force flying across the sky near to the ground coming against Jerusalem and all the land of Judah, all of them horses of fire and riders of fire. Excerpts from chapter 87 "Burning of the Temple." The Geneva Bible In the "16th century" the followers of Christ knew that the establishment of the thousand year reign was in their past. The notes in the Geneva Bible published by the end of 1500 AD specified the establishment of the thousand year reign and the expiration the thousand years. In the section "The order of time " preceding the book of Revelation, the following statements were made: •Around 70 AD the dragon was bound 1,000 years •Around 1073 AD the dragon was let loose after 1,000 years [Revelation 20:7 side note] •The thousand year falleth precisely upon the times of that wicked hildebrand, who was called Gregorie the seventh a most damnable necromancer and sourcer, whom Satan led as an instrument when he was loosed out of bonds, thenceforth to annoy the saints of God with the most cruel persecutions, and the whole world with dissentions', and most bloody wars. Geneva Bible 1607 (Revelation 20:7 Side note) The historian John Foxe wrote studies about the times of the thousand year reign and the destruction of the reign. In "The Acts and Monuments" of John Foxe volume I by Rev George Townsend, the following is written: •First, I will intreat of the suffering time of the church, which continued from the apostles' age about three hundred years. •Second, of the flourishing time of the church, which lasted other three hundred years. •Third, of the deelining of backsliding time of the church, which comprehendth other three hundred years, until the loosing out of Satan which was about the thousandth year after the nativity of Christ. [The majority of Israel became Christian around 400 AD] In 'The Acts and Monuments' of John Foxe volume IV by Rev George Townsend, the following is written: • To be short, then came in the time that the Revelation speaketh of, when Satan, the old serpent, being tied up for a thousand years, was loosed for a certain space, of the which space, here, in these books, by the help and supportation of Christ our Lord, we intend something to entreat and speak of, though not of all things in general done in all places, yet that such things as be most principle may come to light, the knowledge whereof shall be necessary for all our countryman to understand. The 'Acts and Monuments' Continuation of book V contains a chapter "The last three hundred years from the loosing out of Satan." There is archeological evidence of the 1,000 year millennial reign: Below you will find examples of the 'spirit inspired' architecture that was created under the 1,000 year rein of Christ. Much of which was destroyed by fire, war, or dismantled after they were repurposed for world fairs. The world, under the control of Satan in this little season calls the millenial reign, or the 1000 Byzantine empire, the "dark ages." Buffalo 1901 More examples to follow.

January 06, 1858: "Strange as it may appear, America abounds in antiquities, so extensive, so beautiful and majestic, as to rival those of Thebes or Nineveh. Ruins of ancient cities, of immense extent; fortifications, mounds and pyramids; temples with walls built of hewn stone showing a refined taste in architecture - and adorned with human figures, beautifully executed; large altars ornamented with hieroglyphics, probably giving a record of those who reared them, but which no man has been able to decipher; remains of ancient palaces with beautiful specimens of sculpture and painting, with many other marks of ancient greatness, proved to us that this is not a new world, but a powerful empire existed in a very remote period of time, teeming with a population highly skilled in arts, and in a state of civilization far beyond anything we have been led to conceive of the aborigines, previous to the discovery of the continent by the Europeans. The antiquities of America extend from the eastern shores of Maine and Massachusetts to the Pacific and from the Great lakes of British dominions to Peru and La Plata in South America; in fact, throughout the extent of both continents. Immense forest grow over the ruins of large cities, and the gigantic size of the trees, with indications that other generations of trees sprung up and grew before them, proved that the ruins were in existence before the Christian era. In every portion of the United States interesting ruins have been discovered. In the state of New York have been found sculptured figures of 100 animals of different species, executed it in a style far superior to anything exhibited by any of the existing tribes of Indians. The state of Ohio abounds and ruins of towns and fortifications, with extensive mounds and pyramids. At Marietta, and in Missouri, beautiful pottery, silver and copper ornaments, and pearls of great beauty and lustre, have been dug from the Earth. in the caves of Tennessee and Kentucky, mummies have been found, in a high state of preservation, clothed with cloths and skins of various texture, inlaid with feathers. Like discoveries have been made at Carrolton near Milwaukee, in the state of Wisconsin - ruins of huge fortifications appear. Similar ruins appear in the state of Missouri. On the south side of the Missouri River in the Western portion of the state is an enclosure some 500 acres, which includes the ruins of a building (no doubt ancient Tower) with walls over 100 ft high, and 80 ft wide at the base, attached to which are a redoubt and citadel, with work much resembling the structure of a tower in Europe." - Raftsman's journal. January 06, 1858 https://www.matthewsbible.com/antiquities Who occupies these buildings today? Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle whose number is as the sand of the sea: and they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. The millennial reign is labeled by this current generation as the "dark ages" or the 1,000 year byzantine empire. The mosaics of the period show angles and people with halos. Similar mosaics are found on the spirit inspired architecture the old world left behind. That architecture was potentially built by glorified saints and angels. Example: The Sistine Chapel. The millenial reign would have also be filled with resurrected saints. The Sistine Chapel The Sistine Chapel Painted by Michelangelo, or Michae l angel o. Little Season Eschatology: Little Season Eschatology is NOT the Preterism view, it is not partial preterism. Little season eschatology is a specific end time perspective that takes the bible at its word. We in little season eschatology interpret Daniel 2 and the image of Nebuchadnezzars dream the feet of iron and clay they were destroyed by the stone and that stone became a large mountain that filled the entire earth and the stone was Jesus Christ and the mountain that filled the whole earth was his Kingdom, the millennial kingdom of Christ after the destruction of the iron(Rome) and the clay(Jerusalem). They were destroyed together. Rome and Jerusalem fell during the time in Revelation of the 7 trumpet judgements and the 7 vial judgements. This was the judgement upon the harlot and the beast. The feet of the iron and the clay were destroyed together at the second coming of Christ. After this beast system was destroyed the millennial kingdom was set up. The millennial kingdom was a literal 1,000 year kingdom that has taken place in our past. Maybe people try to take statements and ideas in the bible such as the 1,000 year millennial kingdom and tell you it's figurative and apply "spiritual duck tape" on it so that these items match an alternative view. The millennial reign was a literal 1,000 years that has occurred in our past. We can see this both inside and outside of our Bibles. The first resurrection that we see in Revelation 20 has occurred in our past too. Medieval art during these 1,000 years(the early Christian, Byzantine, Romanesque, and gothic periods "400 to 1300 A.D.") all show glorified saints reigning with Christ during this period of time. The abundance of material coming out of this time period was a representation of what they saw and encountered during this time. The dark ages were truly an age of light. So was the Byzantine empire that followed. Anno Domini means year of the Lord and we see this on old coins with dates starting with I representing the time period of the millennial reign, the time of Iésous Christ. The English language was created during the millennial reign. The Anglo-Saxon's introduced the English language after the fall of Rome in the first century. Also known as Englisc" or "Ænglisc. This eschatology gives you the keys to open up biblical prophecy better than any other eschatology. Daniel 2:35 Then was the iron, the earth, the copper, the silver and gold broken altogether in pieces: and became like the chaff of corn, that the wind bloweth away from the summer floors, that they can no more be found. But the stone that smote the Image, be-came a great mountain, which fulfilleth the whole earth. This eschatology takes the bible at its word. We take Jesus Christ at his word. We can simply trust in Jesus. Isaiah 61 is a Millennial Kingdom passage. The world is hiding the 2nd coming behind the middle/dark ages. People, places, and events in this period of time have been conflated in a false stretched out timeline. Anglo-Saxon (Angels and the sons of Isaac). During this time the bibles were translated into English and spread throughout the world. Such as the Matthew's Bible. Why do I believe "little season eschatology" is correct? What About The Early Church Fathers? Timeline: The 7 churches having letters written to them Then we see the seals Then we see the trumpet judgements Then we see the vial judgements Then we see Armageddon Then we see Satan bound in chapter 20 Then we see the 1,000 year reign Then Satan's little season FACT: Jesus PROPHESIED that He would return DURING the LIFETIME of those people STANDING there LISTENING to HIM preach. FACT: Jesus PROPHESIED more than once that SOON he would RETURN and NOT DELAY FACT: Jesus PROPHESIED to CIAPHAS the Chief Priest that he would STILL BE ALIVE to SEE HIM RETURN IN THE CLOUDS FACT: Jesus PROPHESIED that HIS RETURN would be DURING the TRIBULATION that would come upon Jerusalem FACT: Jesus PROPHESIED that HIS RETURN would be connected to the DESTRUCTION of the TEMPLE Yet all these FACTS are COMPLETELY DISMISSED by nearly all mainstream denominations. Links Satan's Little Season With Jason Jack Ancient maps showing the 'Land of Jesus' and the 'Land of the Camp' Puritan Leader Richard Baxter on the 1,000 year millennial reign There is evidence the great tribulation has taken place: Meltology: There is overwhelming archeological evidence showing the melted elements and molten burned cities and buildings mentioned in 2 Peter 3 10. 2 Peter 3 10 Nevertheless the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which day, the heavens shall perish with terrible noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth with the works that are therein shall burn.

- About | Matthew's Bible
The original english bible translated from greek and hebrew by William Tyndale. William Tyndale William Tyndale was the first man to successfully create a mass-produced English Bible. Tyndale was a Catholic Priest in England, born at the turn of the fifteenth century. At the time of William Tyndale’s life, the possession of Bibles by the common man had already been outlawed by the Roman Catholic church for almost three hundred years: “Canon 14: We prohibit also that the laity should be permitted to have the books of the Old or New Testament; unless anyone from motive of devotion should wish to have the Psalter or the Breviary for divine offices or the hours of the blessed Virgin; but we most strictly forbid their having any translation of these books.” (COUNCIL OF TOULOUSE, 1229 AD). The only people who were capable of reading scripture were ordained Roman Catholic clergy, and only after they had been tutored extensively in Roman Catholic dogma. Tyndale would express his frustration over this reality around the time he graduated with a Master of Theology from Oxford and was still denied access to the Bible. “They have ordained that no man shall look on the Scripture, until he be noselled in heathen learning eight or nine years and armed with false principles, with which he is clean shut out of the understanding of the Scripture.” —William Tyndale Tyndale would go on not only to become a Catholic priest, but to also become fluent in eight languages, including English, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. William Tyndale decided to test the water by formally requesting permission to create an English translation of the Bible. He was denied. This would serve as the beginning of his story, rather than the end, though. Tyndale was not happy in his position as a clergyman, and his unrest was forced to a peak upon being told by a fellow priest that: “We had better be without God’s laws than the pope’s.” Tyndale famously replied with: “I defy the Pope, and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!” Tyndale fled to Germany to create his own unauthorized version of the English New Testament. Predictably, the Roman Catholic Church confiscated his work, burned any copies they could get ahold of, and branded him a heretic. Unfortunately for Tyndale, being a heretic was condemnable by death in England. So, the Roman Catholic church, after stripping him of his priesthood, conveniently handed him off to English authorities to be executed. Tyndale was strangeled and burned at the stake, his last words being: “Lord! Open the King of England’s eyes.” Ironically, King Henry VIII would produce an official English translation of the Bible that was almost entirely sourced from Tyndale’s illicit works. At the beginning of the 16th century, Tyndale’s translations would become the basis of the King James Bible, based on their incredible accuracy. The Life of William Tyndale

- The Devil and You | Matthew's Bible
The original english bible translated from greek and hebrew by William Tyndale. Few people know this about Satan The Devil and You Child of God
- Works | Matthew's Bible
The original english bible translated from greek and hebrew by William Tyndale. Legalism vs License vs Liberty Stephen was the first martyr for this particular issue. Thereafter Philip and Peter continued teaching this 'new faith'. In Galatians, Paul traveled to Jerusalem in order to preach to the Jews who were suspicious of this new faith being taken to Gentiles. Paul's mission was to challenge the very heart of the church that was sending out anti missionaries who were saying it wasn't enough to just believe and that you had to be circumcised. This was a salvation issue and at the heart of it was whether salvation was by works or by faith or by a mixture of both. It's important to note that most of the religions of the world are salvation by works. How many of the commandments do you have to keep in order to be a Christian? What Paul is fighting for is Christian freedom. Legalism makes the whole thing a matter of rules rather than relationships. License makes the whole thing about the swamp of the flesh. Legalism places us into bondage of others. License places us into bondage of ourselves. Both place us under the wrath of God. Galatians chapters 1 and 2 talk about liberty. Chapters 3 and 4 talk about legalism. And chapters 5 and 6 talk about the license. Paul is actually fighting on two fronts to keep the truth. Rules and regulations do not bring revival. Beware of legalism. Sin will cost you your salvation, you are not free to sin, beware of license. The works of the flesh (such as promiscuity, occultism, drug use, quarreling, rivalry, jealousy, envy, prejudice, etc.) will cost you your salvation. "For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap" -Paul Paul warned believers and he warned them again that if they continue in the works of the flesh, they will not inherit the kingdom of God. He warned that if we wallow in sin, we will not inherit the kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Liberty is the freedom not to sin. Isn't that a lovely freedom? You are free in Christ not to sin. "We have been given the Grace to say no" Paul in his letter to Titus. J a mes In Galatians chapter 2 and Ephesians chapter 2 - The phrase ' not by works ', is referring to the Jewish commandments contained in ordinances. Ordinances such as things like food laws and circumcision. The word Works I think the problem is the word works. I think people misuse it. My New Testament says that faith without works is dead, it can not save. I think it is better translated - faith without action is dead. Faith is an active thing that we do. Repentance is an active thing that we do...call them works if you like but to say that's salvation by works is a complete distortion. The classical text for salvation is "for by grace are we saved through faith" and grace is what God does and faith is what we do and both are essential. Now, we are not saved by our faith, we are not saved by what we do, we are saved through what we do. In other words we can not be saved without that. We can't be saved by grace without faith and faith is our part and grace is His part and when we believe grace saves. God is always responding to us and he wants us to take certain steps. For instance, God can not forgive a person unless they repent first. That's the teaching of scripture. We cannot forgive each other unless someone has repented. Jesus said if your brother sins against you 7 times in a day forgive your brother 7 times, if he repents. God expects us to admit we have sinned, to cease from sin, to turn away from it, to renounce it, to put right what we can if at all possible....all this is repentance and God forgives when we repent. Repenting and believing are what we do to make it possible for grace to save us. To call this salvation by works is a complete misunderstanding. Never are faith or repentance called works in the New Testament. They are actions and they are actions that we do...these actions don't deserve salvation and they do not bring salvation but they make it possible for God to show his grace towards us. So many people believe that grace operates first but that's not the case. The New Testament says grace is available for everybody but unless we repent and believe that grace is useless. Having faith in Christ and believing in Christ are actions. Let us take a look at what believing in Christ means, Believing in Christ Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Believing in Christ is an action, and it is an action that leads unto righteousness. Believing teaches repentance. " Verily, verily I say unto you whosoever believeth on me, the works that I do, the same shall he do, and greater works then these shall he do, because I go unto my father. " -Jesus Christ Hebrews 12:14 states "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord". Here we see more action, here we are called to be holy. Verse 15 shows us how sin leads man to fail in the grace of God. Verse 17 shows us that there is no salvation where there is no repentance: "For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears." We have to be born again, we can want God to save us with all of our being but without repentance, without these faith testifying actions, there is no salvation. When we put on the armor of God by seeking His will and reading his word there is a change in us. God changes who he saves and if there has been no change on our part then there has been no salvation. Jude 1:4 shows us that people pervert the grace of God by denying (or disobeying) Christ and are ungodly people. " For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Let us take a look at what the Grace of God teaches us, The Grace of God Titus 2:11 "For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared and teacheth us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts , and that we should live honestly, righteously, and godly in this present world. The Grace of God teaches repentance. In 1 Peter 4 it says "Forasmuch as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he which suffereth in the flesh ceaseth from sin, that he henceforward should live as much time as remaineth in the flesh, not after the lusts of men: but after the will of God. ^^Ceasing to sin is not salvation by works and is the only way to be saved^^ Elijah, Isaiah, Joel, Jonah, Jeremiah, Micha, Amos, Malachai, the Disciples, and Jesus all preached repentance. We are either saved or unsaved, clean or unclean, righteous or unrighteous, holy or unholy, a child of God or a child of the devil. Whether we have faith or not is magnified by who we are and what we do. Having faith in Jesus isn't a thought or a proclamation, it's action....these are required "works" to put us into the position to be saved. These are not works of the law these are faith testifying works, or actions. Faith IS action. It is imperative for the Christian to be able to define the word works and use it properly. The entire OT and NT requires us to do things for God with our actions. Our belief is shown in our actions as well as with our faith. We will also be judged on our actions. All of the whole of all the scriptures teaches us this. We can not take singular statements of Paul or any other author to take a detour from the narrow path. Being born again is an entire transformation of our character, behavior, and actions and is the only way to be saved. Faith and action are always hand in hand. Proverbs 19:27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. Let us look at Matthew 7:21 for example. Jesus said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Would doing the will of the father be considered salvation by works of the law? I don't believe it does. We see here that faith without works is dead. Here are individuals who have faith as they call Jesus the Lord but it isn't enough. That faith, if true, carries faith testifying action and with Matthew 7 that faith testifying action is doing the will of the father. If we head to verse 23 Jesus says "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." These are people who have faith but no faith testifying action...but going even further... it also shows that people who have faith with bad behavior - their faith is in vain and even though they called on the name of the Lord they did so in vain and will be unsaved. Matthew 7:21-23 shows us that individuals who have faith with good and bad behavior are told to depart from the Lord. People of real faith do not continue on living in sin. If we say we have faith and our actions are accompanied by sin then we don't really have any faith. Jesus stated that if we love him we keep his commandments, would we consider that salvation by works? Would repentance and being born again, living a holy life, obedient to Christ be salvation by works of the law? They are not but these actions are required in order to place ourselves under God’s grace. Again, God freely offers his grace to everyone who responds to the Gospel and receives it. Jesus said in John 10 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life". Would Jesus give eternal life to people who call on his name but choose not to follow? No. Hebrews 5:9 shows us that Jesus is the author of salvation to everyone who obeys him. In Luke 6:23 Jesus said, "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." These are actions. Our actions are what testify of our faith...faith without action testifies of a lack of faith and faith with bad actions testify of a lack of faith. These actions are NOT works of the law. Just acknowledging that Jesus is the Son of God is not enough. Believing and having faith are actions that we do. The Transformation of Covenants What most fail to see-thus study endlessly the scriptures seeking ways to adapt the Hebrew ways to their gentile lives-is that the New Covenant or Testament that was sealed by the Blood of the Lamb, is a covenant that no longer is written on stone but on the hearts of men. God the Father, promised this would take place in Jeremiah 31:33 and Paul spoke of its fulfillment in Hebrews 8:10. What most fail to see is that we are not called to observe the Torah or any other book; we are called to BECOME living stones ourselves, living epistles on which God’s laws are written and are to be known and studied by all men (2 Corinthians 3). What most fail to see is that no matter how blessed and filled with words of life the Bible is, it continues to be the record not the witness: the Spirit is the Witness and He has been given as a witness within upon regenerative faith. When Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven being in us, He was speaking of an internal rule and that rule has a Ruler. The Witness is the Ruler. John speaks of there being 3 Who bear witness, and they bear witness in Heaven and on earth, they bear witness within the vessels that have been born again just as Jesus revealed the mystery of regeneration to Nicodemus. “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” (John 5:4-11) These things are not easy to understand and Peter knew it and said so in 2 Peter 3:16. He also warned these things being misinterpreted by the unlearnt unto their own destruction. And who is unlearnt but the one who doesn’t have the unction of the Holy Spirit, the Witness within? “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” (1 John 2:20) “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” (1 John 2:27) Paul says spiritual things are discerned spiritually not gnostically, not ritually, or any other way. John writes these things so that no one seduces the elect. Peter warns of misinterpretations. God is the Same, yesterday, today and forever but the Covenant has changed. There is no longer need for a schoolmaster; don’t let people seduce or deceive you into remaining under such. This covenant no longer relies on the circumcision of the flesh but on the circumcision of the heart, which can only be performed by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ in us.
