Revival is a restoration of the Assembly of God,
so we are ready and prepared to meet Jesus when he comes.
Rev. 18:4-5 is an extremely powerful revival message from the
Lord. He commands his people to leave the great Babylon.
"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached
unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." In the
churches they have not preached this. Very few Christians have
obeyed this revival message of the Lord, and left the great Babylon.
Preachers and denomination leaders and theologians have their
own opinions, doctrines and traditions regarding the assembly.
Instead of correcting their teaching to what the Bible teaches
about the Assembly of God, they have made their own "assemblies
of God" and denominations. None can with help of the word of
the Bible explain how the free-churches and denominations have
come into existence. It is not possible because they are not founded
on God's word. These religious black-buildings, and the catholic
church is the great Babylon, and it is this that God commands us to
leave.
This must happen before Jesus comes. After Jesus has come, it
cannot happen, for then God's people are home at the Lord, and
there is no Babylon. In plain text this means that all Christians must
get the knowledge of the truth of the Assembly of God, and abandon
all churches and denominations before Jesus comes. Those who do
not obey God's revival message in Rev.18:4, and do not want to leave
the churches before Jesus comes, they are accessory in the great
harlot's sins and get their part of her plagues.
Jesus prayed to his Father that all we that believe in him shall be one.
John 17:20-23. How is the unity among the people of God today?
Why are most Christians bounded to churches and denominations?
It is because they have never heard the truth of the Assembly of God.
Those who would be shepherds and teachers in the Assembly of God
are self ensnared in false doctrines. They believe that the free-churches
are assemblies of God.
The preachers have not understood that the church and denomination
in where they are members, are parts of the great Babylon. Many have
spoken and written about Rev. 18:4, but how many have really preached
it and put it into practice? How much care do they show for the Assembly
of God? How much of the churches' false Assembly doctrine have they
exposed? How many church members have they released?
When we study what the Bible teaches about the Assembly of God,
the Body of Christ, we see that it is a living organism, 1 Cor. 12:12-30,
and not any organized movement. The temple of God is a living temple,
built of living stones. 1 Cor. 3:16, Eph. 2:19-22, 1 Peter 2:5. God does
not live in temples built by hands. Acts 7:48, 17:24.
Can you find any place in the Bible where it says that they established
an assembly, as an organized association with a chairperson and directors
and membership cards? Can you find any place where the Bible says that
they decided membership for new members, or that they with a majority
resolution chose in members in the Assembly of God?
Everywhere, in Christian meetings, publications and books, it is a biblical
truth that always lacks - the truth of the Assembly of God. This truth
must become preached before Jesus comes, and all churches and
denominations must become exposed. The truth shall release the Assembly
of God. Teachers in the Assembly of God, and the revival preachers must
be free from all denominations and churches. How else could they teach
about the Assembly of God?
By the so-called christening, the holy communion and confirmation, the
church inspires people that they are already Christians, and that they do
not need repentance and baptism. They preach this false doctrine still to
day in the Swedish church. Every day many people die in the faith on
church and go to hell. The free-church preachers, which say that they
are saved and ought to have a better insight in God's words, they do
nothing to stop the false doctrine of the church. Instead they can have
ecumenical meetings and bid the false priesthood to their free-churches.
The Assembly of God is the most valuable thing that does exist on the
earth, and nothing is more important than that the Assembly becomes
restored and is ready and prepared to meet Jesus when he comes. I
wonder how many Christians that are really praying for a restoration
of the Assembly of God. This has been my continuing prayer request
for about 40 years.
They build beautiful churches for millions of money while the Lord's
temple is cracked into pieces and in disrepair. Haggai 1:4-10. So they
wonder, why is it no revival? Why are no more people saved? The
preachers keep the revival silent to death. Why do the preachers not
speak about the churches and denomination and explain it so that people
can understand in what they are members? Why do they not struggle
for the truths of the Bible? Are they so cowardly so they dare not preach
the truth about the Assembly of God? Do they not dare speak about
what churches and denominations are?
"Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house
lie waste? Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your
ways. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not
enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but
there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put
it into a bag with holes... Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little;
and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD
of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto
his own house." Haggai 1:4-6, 9.
When they would do the tabernacle, then the Lord said to Moses:
"And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed
thee in the mount." Exodus 25:40. Before king Solomon began to build
on the Lord's house, he had received a pattern of his father David.
And David had received it of the Lord. "Then David gave to Solomon
his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the
treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner
parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat ... All this, said
David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me,
even all the works of this pattern." 1 Chronicles 28:11, 19.
Like as Moses and king Solomon got patterns to follow, so it is also a
pattern for the Assembly of God, how it shall be built up. The pattern
for the Assembly of God has also come to by reveal. All that Paul and
the other apostles preached and taught about the Assembly of God, and
that we can read in New Testament, they had received it from God. God
himself had revealed it to them. 1 Cor. 2:10-13. 1 John 2:27. They had not
been able to think out this of their own because it had from the beginning
of the world been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
Eph. 3:1-11. The pattern for the Assembly of God constitutes of all that
God's word teaches about the Assembly of God, God's temple, the Body
of Christ. Hebrews 8:5. (Please, read the article 27. The pattern of the
Temple of God).
In Hebrews Chapters 8, 9 and 10, and in Col. 2:17 we see that the old
covenant and its tabernacle, the temple and laws are only a shadow of
the things that were to come. The Lord was very strictly concerning the
shadow picture, then he must be still more strictly concerning the real
temple - the Assembly of God. Here is human wisdom not enough.
Here it demands the hidden wisdom that God ordained before the world
unto our glory. 1 Cor. 2:7. God will prepare his people for works and
service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up. Eph. 4:11-16.
In Acts 3:20, 21 Peter speaks, "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which
before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until
the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the
mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."
We cannot hinder the regime of the Antichrist of which EU is a part.
The Bible has predestined and predicted it, and the prophecies of the
Bible must go in fulfilment. Then blocking the fulfilment of God's
prophecies with political activity is meaningless. God has not given
us such an order. God has not given us command to improve the world.
On the other hand he has given us a command to come out from the
great Babylon.
We must explain to people what EU is and warn about what that
comes to happen under Antichrist's regime. Nevertheless, we may
not become so busy of this so that we neglect and forget what is still
more important, the restoration of the Assembly of God. Now we
are standing before the most powerful revival that has ever occurred.
Before the Lord led his people out of Egypt, then he sent many plagues
over Egypt. In the book of Revelation can we read that when the Lord
leads his people out from the great Babylon, then he also comes to
send many plagues across the whole earth.
Churches and denominations are not from God. They have come to
existence through people's foolishness and disobedience against God's
word, and they are built on false doctrines. Therefore, can God allow
the Antichrist to take the control over churches and denominations.
Probably, many do not come to wake before the Antichrist and his
helpers take over the command in churches and the denominations.
Maybe the Lord must use the Antichrist to wake them.
