If You Have a Love of the Truth, This Is Your Wake-Up Call

Excerpt From Newsletter

The Truth is, Jesus is describing a majority of those who currently claim to be “Christian” in this final generation when He says this:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Your Majesty! Your Majesty!’ will enter into the kingdom of Heaven; only the one who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Didn’t we prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’ And then I will confess to them: ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who work “the lawlessness.”’”
(Matthew 7:21–23) —my interim translation

If you are not absolutely certain you know what Jesus had in mind when He said “the will of My Father in Heaven,” I suggest you not make any hasty assumptions. As I have already explained, He was talking about the fact that God’s will is that everyone believe the Truth of The Teaching. (See “Thy Kingdom Come. Thy Will Be Done, on Earth,” The Voice of Elijah^®, April 1997.) Believe it if you care to, disbelieve it if you dare to. I can already “see” the Living Word of God the Prophets hid in their writings. So I know it is your soul that hangs in the balance on this one, not mine.

The Apostle Paul clearly understood what Jesus was referring to when He said “the lawlessness.” He reveals that when he says this:

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, because {that cannot be} unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of “the lawlessness” is revealed—the son of the annihilation— the one who opposes and elevates himself above everything called “god” or “object of worship,” so that he seats himself in the Temple of God, himself proclaiming that he is God. Don’t you remember me telling you these things while I was still with you? And you now know what is holding fast so that he will be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of “the lawlessness” is already “working”—{which is} only the one now holding fast until he comes out of the midst.
(2 Thessalonians 2:3–7) —my interim translation

If you don’t already know what Paul is talking about in those verses, I have no intention of telling you. I explained the meaning of that passage more than a decade ago in The Next Step program.
