The Apostolic Teaching: The Truth That Was Lost
The Apostolic Teaching, which has now been almost completely lost by the Church, reveals that the Antichrist will be the messiah the Jews are expecting. He’ll rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and reign as king of the Jews for three and a half years before creating the circumstances that will totally devastate the Earth. The Truth is, the delusion Satan has crafted over the past two centuries already has a firm grip on most “Christians” today.
The Prophet Daniel wrote about this Mystery of the End Times:
“[At [that] Time], [Michael], [The [great] Commanding Officer] [who stands] [over] [{the} Sons of] [Your People], [will stand up]; [and there will be] [a Time] [of Distress] [that] [has [not] been] [since there was] [a Nation] [until] [that] [Time]. [And at [that] Time], [Your People]—[everyone] [who is found] [written] [in {the} Scroll]—[will escape]. [Then many] [of those who are sleeping] [{on the} [dusty] Ground] [will wake up]. [These]? [To an [eternally burning] Life]! [But these]? [To {the} Disgrace] [of an [eternally burning] Repulsion]. [And those who have insight] [will—[like {the} Brightness] [of The Expanse]—enlighten {others}], [and those who declare [The Many] not guilty]—[like {the} Stars]—[for a Burning Eternity] [and Forever].”
(Daniel 12:1–3) —my interim translation
The Sealing of Biblical Prophecy
In the chapter from which the passage above was quoted, Daniel tells us two crucial things about the End Times:
- the words of the Prophets were “sealed” so no one could understand until the “End Time,” and
- even then, only those declared “not guilty” by God will understand.
The Apostle Paul agrees with Daniel that only “those who gain insight will understand” when the Antichrist appears:
(2) Do not let anyone dupe you in any way at all, that it may not be that:
(a) the apostasy must come first and
(b) the man of the lawless one—the son of eternal damnation—must be revealed,(i) the one who is opposed to, and exalts himself over, everything that is called “god” or an object of worship, with the result that he sits down in the sanctuary of the {living} God, presenting himself as convincing evidence that he is God.
(2 Thessalonians 2:3–4) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible
Paul understood that when the Antichrist appears, those taken in by his delusion will be those who “did not accept the love of the truth so that they could be saved.” He warns, “God will send them a deceptive energy so that they believe the lie.” The question you should ask yourself is, “How much do I love the Truth?”
The Role of Parabolic Imagery in Understanding Scripture
Parabolic imagery in Scripture plays a crucial role in understanding the End of the Age prophecies. The Apostle Paul uses such imagery to describe the ignorance of those at the End who have no insight into the Truth:
For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who become intoxicated are intoxicated at night.
(1 Thessalonians 5:7) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible
Jesus uses similar parabolic imagery in His Parable of the Ten Virgins, depicting the final generation of Believers:
“At that time, the kingdom of the heavens will be like ten virgins who, after taking their lanterns, came out to a meeting with the bridegroom. But five of them were stupid, and five sensible; for when those who were stupid took their lanterns, they did not take olive oil with them. But those who were sensible took olive oil in flasks along with their lanterns.”
(Matthew 25:1–4) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible
This parable shows how some Believers will be prepared with insight into The Teaching when the time comes, while others will be caught unprepared.
Understanding “All Israel Will Be Saved”
The role of Israel in End Times is often misunderstood due to Satan’s lies. Many believe that “all Israel” refers to the literal descendants of Jacob. However, this is not the case. The Truth is, Paul is not referring to all Jews when he says “His people” in Romans 11. He’s referring only to “The Remnant” of Israel—those Jews who had not yet been “cut off from” Israel when John the Baptist began offering the sons of Israel God’s “New Covenant.”
The role of Israel in End Times now includes more than just the physical descendants of Jacob. To be a member of Israel, one must become an heir of the promise in the same way that Isaac became an heir. This fact is crucial to understanding the Gospel message and the promise.
The Sealed Scriptures and the End Times
The “sealing up” of Hebrew Scriptures was part of God’s plan to reveal The Truth to those who truly seek it. Isaiah explains it this way:
[So [The [entire] Vision] has become] [for you] [like {the} Words of] [The [sealed up] Scroll] [that] [they give] [to one who knows {how to read}] [a Scroll], [saying], “[Read] [this], [please]!” [But he will say], “[I am [not] able] [because] [it] [is sealed up].”
(Isaiah 29:11) —my interim translation
This sealing of prophecy ensures that only those with a love for the Truth will gain insight into The Teaching at the End of the Age.
The Antichrist and false beliefs regarding him are central to End Times prophecy. Many “Christians” will be deceived into believing the Antichrist is Jesus Christ when he appears. This deception stems from a misunderstanding of Paul’s words in Romans 11 about “all Israel” being saved.
What Is Corporate Israel in Biblical Theology?
The Truth is, Jesus Christ is Corporate Israel. There is not now some other “literal” Israel or “natural” Israel or any other kind of Israel for that matter.
When Jesus Christ died, “all Israel” ceased to exist. Then God Himself took the physical body of Jesus Christ and “raised up a Seed” for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David just as He had promised.
“This sealing of prophecy ensures that only those with a love for The Truth will gain insight into The Teaching at the End of the Age.”
The Gospel message reveals that God promised to create “The Man” in His Own invisible spiritual image and likeness, and then create other male and female Believers in that same image. This promise is unconditional—God will fulfill it regardless of human action.
As we approach the End Times in the Bible, it’s crucial to understand The Apostolic Teaching. The Church lost this Teaching centuries ago, but it’s now becoming available again. Those who have ears to hear must pay attention, for the time is short.
The parabolic imagery of the “harvest” describes how Believers will be gathered at the End of the Age. Jesus explains:
“The Son of The Man will send His messengers, and they will cull all the deadfall traps and those who commit the lawless deed out of His kingdom, and they will throw them into the furnace of the fire. Weeping and gritting of teeth will be there. At that time, those who are blameless will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears hear.”
(Matthew 13:41–43) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible
This harvesting process is already underway. The “deceptive energy” mentioned by Paul is in place, and those who firmly believe “the lie” are those God “will cull ... out of His kingdom” and exclude “from the midst of those who are blameless.”
Recognizing False Beliefs in Modern Christianity
Now let’s delve deeper into the nature of “the lie” that Satan currently has “working” in the Church. There are three essential components:
Lie #1: The only specific content that one must believe to be saved is: “Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for my sins.”
This lie has been pushed by Satan for the past nineteen hundred years, but only recently have most “Christians” been duped into believing it. The Truth is, God’s purpose in the “sacrificial” death of Jesus Christ is fully explained only in the Old Testament. The Teaching of Moses, which was handed down and then “sealed up” by the Prophets, contains the Truth in that regard.
Lie #2: God loves “His Children” so much that He would never send anyone to Hell.
This lie denies the fundamental Truth from the very beginning, God has been “cutting off from” the Blessed and adding them to the members of the Cursed. And each time He did so, those who were “cut off from” the Blessed have continued on desperately insisting they still have a legitimate right to share in the inheritance of the promise.
Lie #3: The Prophets and Apostles are always referring to all of the literal descendants of the man Jacob when they say “Israel.”
This part of “the lie” is an essential lie that Satan will use to lock “Christians” into believing the Antichrist is Jesus Christ. He will do this by convincing them “all Israel” has finally been “saved” when the Jews accept the Antichrist as their messiah.
The Truth Is: The Promise Is Unconditional
The Truth about the promise that God made to David is crucial to understanding The Apostolic Teaching. In 2 Samuel 7, God promised David He would “give a Seed” to David by engendering a Son for David. Then He promised David that the Son He “gave” David would:
- “build a house,”
- “raise up a seed,” and
- “make a name” for God.
This promise is unconditional. God fulfilled the first part when He came in the flesh, died on the cross, and rose again on the third day. He is now preparing to fulfill the second part—re-creating the visible physical bodies of other male and female Believers in His Own invisible image and likeness.
Your participation in the inheritance of what was promised depends entirely on whether or not you meet the sole condition God has set: belief in the promise. This is not something you can fake, as God will not accept outward actions as evidence of inward belief. He will only accept the inward condition of your “heart”—which He examines constantly—as evidence that you believe.
A Final Invitation to Believe The Apostolic Teaching
The Apostolic Teaching is once again available if you have any interest in it. But this is the only “invitation” you are going to receive. I have not been called to:
- coax,
- cajole,
- coerce,
- or in any way compel anyone to believe the things God called me to teach.
Time is much too valuable to waste on those who obviously have “better” things to do.
As we approach the End of the Age, an understanding of the parabolic imagery used in the Hebrew Scriptures is absolutely essential. For example, Isaiah uses the imagery of farming to explain why God has to teach the individual He sends out to “harvest” the Seed that has been “planted” in “the field”:
“[Does [the one who is plowing] plow] [all] [Day] [to sow seed]?
[He has to open] [and harrow] [his Ground]!
[Is it not] [when] [he has leveled] [its Surface]
[That he disperses] [Black Cummin] [and tosses] [Cummin]?
[Then he puts [Wheat] in place] [{as} a Terrace],
[And Barley]—[or Rye]—[is marked off] [{as} its Boundary].
[Then [his God] admonishes him] [concerning a Decision Based on the Truth]—
[He teaches him].”
(Isaiah 28:24–26) —my interim translation
Jesus uses a similar parabolic image when He speaks of the faithful and sensible slave whom the Lord puts in charge of His house:
“So then who is the trustworthy and sensible slave whom the master appointed over his household slaves to give them something to eat on time? That slave whom his master finds so doing when {he} comes back is fortunate. Without doubt, I tell you that he will appoint him over all his possessions.”
(Matthew 24:45–47) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible
The End Times in the Bible are not just about future events; they’re about the revelation of Truth that has been hidden for centuries. The “sealing up” of Hebrew Scriptures was not meant to keep people in the dark forever, but to preserve The Truth for those who would truly seek it at the End of the Age.
As we near the End of this Age, the words of Revelation take on new significance:
“Those who have been invited to the dinner meal of the wedding celebration of the Little Lamb are fortunate!”
(Revelation 19:9b) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible
This invitation is not just to a future event, but to a present understanding of The Apostolic Teaching. Those who accept this invitation and believe the Truth will be part of the “new creation” that God promised—one that has been recreated in His invisible spiritual image and likeness.
In conclusion, the End of the Age prophecy is unfolding before our eyes. Those who love the Truth must seek to understand The Apostolic Teaching and resist the deceptions of the Antichrist. The promise of God remains unconditional, but individual participation depends on one’s belief in that promise.
As Isaiah warns:
“[Give ear] [and listen to] [my Voice]!
[Pay attention] [and listen to] [my Statement]!”
(Isaiah 28:23) —my interim translation
The time for complacency is over. This is your wake-up call. Will you heed it and seek the Truth, or will you be among those who stumble in darkness when the Antichrist appears? The choice is yours, but remember—God is constantly examining your heart. Your outward actions can only show what you do not believe. It is the inward condition of your heart that truly matters.
The Mystery of the End Times
The Mystery of the End Times is being revealed to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. The parabolic imagery in Scripture, the role of Israel in End Times, the Gospel message and the promise, the “sealing up” of Hebrew Scriptures—all these pieces are coming together for those who truly seek understanding.
Don’t be deceived by the Antichrist and false beliefs that permeate much of modern Christianity. Seek the Truth, love the Truth, and let it transform you from the inside out. For it is only through this transformation that you can hope to be part of the Corporate Israel that will inherit the promise at the End of the Age.
“As we approach the End of the Age, an understanding of the parabolic imagery used in the Hebrew Scriptures is absolutely essential.”
Remember, “Those who have been invited to the dinner meal of the wedding celebration of the Little Lamb are fortunate!” Will you accept the invitation?
Conclusion
The End Times are upon us, and the Truth that has been sealed in Scripture is now being unveiled. Remember, your participation in the inheritance depends solely on your belief in the promise—a belief in a God Who examines your heart, not your outward actions.
The choice is yours: Will you seek the Truth and be part of the “new creation,” or stumble in darkness when the Antichrist appears?
