Peace be unto you,

My beloved Brethren we come advising and warning all the true Saints to come from among the unrighteous sinners that have invaded the Church Houses of this world. Seek out other true Brethren that wish to follow the Truth of God and Jesus Christ. In your homes can be found a resting place for the souls of real Bible readers. This is your starting point. God will bless you as you stand against the tyranny of the anti-Christ that claim to be God’s people and God’s messengers.

Brethren will you seek God’s blessings? Will you follow your Godly duties to uplift those that are confused about Truth because they have looked at man and not God? Help those in need. God’s blessings come with a sacrifice but you are rewarded now and later. Now you have breath and later you will have eternal life.

Peace and Love,

Your Brother in Christ Carl Patton writing for the FreedomJournal November 1, 2003, in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

WHERE IS THE REMNANT?

PART 29: THE BOOK OF REVELATION: THE CHURCH LIVED THROUGH THE APOSTASY/DARK AGES

IN THE NAME OF GOD MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, RULER OF THE EARTH

Greetings Brethren we are grateful today as we were yesterday and for days to come for our Father God and for His Son our Savior Jesus Christ. In the same breath we do declare our gratitude to God through Jesus Christ for the Holy Spirit. What was the Apostasy of days gone by? Also does any of this wretchedness still exist?

Apostasy is the complete forsaking of one’s religion. The record reveals that a man-made religion was established in Rome. The Romans left the true teachings of the Bible and the message of the Savior Christ and his Apostles. So for 1260 years the Church was in the wilderness or in hiding from the tyranny of Pagan Rome. Here we include the Papal State and all of the boundaries and borders of Rome as a ruling Empire.

However the Divine Plan would not be tampered with. The Savior would still come regardless of the Pagans interest in combining Church and State. Also the true Church the Lord’s Church would survive and continue their mission of Truth regardless of the past and present apostasy. For the record the true Church of Christ is not seen nor heard among the various cults that claim to be Churches of Christ. The true Church of Christ is among the hearts and minds of the true believers.

Revelation 12:17. “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Also see Revelations 1:2; 11:7; 13:7; 14:1).

Satan who is the dragon is also seen as Rome. Here we see the struggle between God’s people and those that follow Satan. The Church is the woman and many that came into the true Church would keep God’s commandments and remain faithful. These faithful few would accept Jesus Christ and rebuke Satan. We find a companion scripture in the Pauline writings.

1 Corinthians 12:27. “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”

The Church is the body of Christ. All members of that body should work in mutual service to Christ. There is harmony within the body. Again we see that the true Church is the answer to anything presented by Satan. This holds true with vast organized man-made religions that seek to foster Pagan rituals and speak of god.

Referring back to our major premise regarding faith we return to Revelation.

Revelation 14:12. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

Trust God to give you the patience to endure to the end.

Revelation 19:10. “And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

As we reflect on this verse and the remnant we are reminded that the Bible is all about Jesus. The phrase “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,” is a clear statement as to who are the remnant. The subject of Jesus as the Savior of the world is reflected throughout the Bible and especially in the Prophetic Books. Hence those that embrace Jesus Christ are the remnant. Coming to Christ and the true Church that the Lord brought has nothing to do with race, color or creed. It is all about faith and belief in God.

Cont. Part 30: Is There A Remnant Among Babylon?
