Greetings Brethren,

Greetings Brethren,

We warn you as Jesus Christ the Savior of the world forewarned you: Many will come claiming to be sent from God. Many will also come claiming that they have a special calling and great knowledge of the Bible. A point for the wise "ANY TIME A MAN IN THE FLESH CLAIMS THAT HE ALONE HAS ALL OF THE ANSWERS OF THE BIBLE!!!!!BEWARE."

Also we note that God is not in the business of racism and hate. White people have a right to God and so do Black people. Therefore we warn the Afro-Centric Christians that preaching hate is ungodly. Try lifting up God instead of lifting up self and putting down those that you think are evil.

Peace and Love,

Carl Patton writing for the FreedomJournal July 8, 2002 in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

HOW CAN MAN BE GOD?

(CAN MAN BE A god?)

PART 29: MANY NATIONS WILL COMPOSE THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST

In the name of Jehovah God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.

As the enemies of God and the wicked abound, we stand fast. Yes we stand Boldly proclaiming that God is real and that His Son came in the flesh to save the world. We also proclaim as the Spirit moves that the Messiah sent back the Holy Spirit to sustain us as we walk, and run for Jesus. Again we note how can man be God? Many come claiming this notion as earthily kings. Some come proclaiming it in man inspired literature. Some also feel that they alone have the key to scripture. Thus they come with a Puffed-Up doctrine of “I know it all because God called me in a most miraculous way."

The presence of the Pharisees are evident in the church today. They are also evident among those that have by tradition and custom rejected Christ. But the Bible does not support any of the Foolish notions of the modern day Pharisees or those who reject the Messiah. For your thought and mediation do most Muslims accept Christ more than many so-called Christians? If this is so then we are indeed in a crisis. Christ as only a mere Prophet is more than total rejection. Also there is deceit in many so-called Christians and deception when they claim Christ and reject Christ in action, thought and deed. Of course we will bring more clarity to this thought in the future. But for now ponder it and consider if there is gross rejection of Christ among the so-called Christians?

Meanwhile the Bible teaches that many people will compose the kingdom of Christ. Therefore, there will be people of all ethnic origins. For Christ and His kingdom is open to all people of the world. We will return to the Old Testament Book of Micah to note this concern and the essence of Christ in the new kingdom of Jerusalem.

Micah 4: 2. " And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

Many nations will compose the kingdom of Christ. Therefore, no particular government will attach itself to the kingdom of Christ. This was fulfilled in Acts 2: 5. "And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven."

The phrase “shall come and say, come let us go up," is related to the call that was made by the Apostles recorded in: Acts 2: 41, 47. "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: 2: 47.”Praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." Also, note Acts 4: 4.

Again we note the distinctions between the Jewish Dispensation and the Gospel Dispensation. The law noted in this passage means the law to govern the kingdom of Christ. This law does not mean the law to govern the Jewish government. The law of the Jewish Dispensation had been given to Moses many centuries before. However, this law pertains to the law predicted by the patriarch Jacob in Genesis 49:10. We will now note this most important scripture. This scripture is a further testament to the Supremacy of Christ as noted in the Old and New Testaments.

Genesis 49:10. "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be."

Christ was the descendant of Judah. Scepter is in reference to a rod or stick that a man of power and authority would wield. Depart from means that it shall not come out of or be produced by. Therefore Judah will not wield or produce the scepter of law giving authority until, etc. (For companion scripture on this thought see Numbers 24: 17, Isaiah 11: 1, Micah 4: 2).

Judah is the one the scepter would come to (See Hebrews 7: 14). The son of Jacob called Judah will produce a tribe. But that tribe will not produce the law of government for God's people for a while. Meanwhile during the Jewish Dispensation the tribe of Levi will have that power and administer this through the Law of Moses. This will last until this person noted as Shiloh will come who is the Messiah.

However when he comes the people will gather unto him. This verse thusly predicts the coming of Christ to be the law giver and ruler and that the people will then gather to him and not to Moses.

Micah 4: 3 "And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

My Dearly beloved Brethren. Almighty God does not support killing and destruction of life and the land. The world conflicts that are noted in warfare are not sanctioned by God. We are now living under the Christian and Gospel Dispensation or period. Thus we live by Faith and seek Peace on earth and long for the Peace and Paradise promised as a gift to the faithful. Thus we study war no more for the kingdom is established and we wait for the return of Jesus.

Meanwhile we note that the Bible teaches us that the great majority of humankind will reject the Gospel. Therefore, many will continue in the ideals of war. Therefore there is no prediction in this verse that war as we know it today will ever end. Meanwhile, we advise the reader to pay heed to the difference between the Jewish and Christian Dispensations. For example the Jewish Dispensation noted a combination of religious and political government. Therefore, it was right to use the essence of carnal warfare to achieve certain goals.

This is why we see Jesus noting that if his kingdom was of this world his servants would fight in the defense of Christianity (See John 18:36). But the Christian dispensation is strictly religious and its citizens will not resort to the material sword for its propaganda and support. Hence Christians will use their metal for peaceful industry and depend upon the "sword of the spirit," which is the Word of God for the defense of the kingdom of Christ.

This scripture does not pertain to the subject of a Christian participating in the Army of a temporal government. The temporal government is distinct from the kingdom of Christ. Thus if a Christian serves in the Army, he is not representing the kingdom of Christ. Thus, a Christian cannot fight for the defense of the kingdom of Christ. A Christian is a member of each just as Paul noted that he was a Christian and a Roman citizen. (See Acts 22:25).
