Christians called it “7 Last Words” – 7

The Seventh Word – And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, Into thy hands I commend my spirit and having said thus, He gave up the ghost. Luke 23:46

Remember that Christ’s Spirit is God’s Spirit because we read it in John 3:16 that God gave to us His only-begotten Son out of love to save us. He became flesh to save us from the fire of hell. This how God defined love.

He loves us so much. In His last breath, He commended His Spirit into the hands of His Father because He knows He is coming back to the divine throne. Jesus knew that the preaching of the cross would be the power of faith, that millions would worship Him, accept Him as the true and living God, as the Lord and Savior.

Finally, blessed is the one whose Spirit commends itself into the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one come to my father in heaven except through me. John 14:6 – Amen

The Sixth Word – When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished and He bowed His head and gave up the ghost – John 19:30

It is finished ended Jesus emptiness, His humiliation. It was the end of His mission on earth. Jesus Christ had sowed the divine seed in the hearths of His disciples and followers. It is this divine seed in us that He would like to incubate so that we would be able to mix with the worldly environment. From us whom God the Father entrusted to Him would constitute a new society. A society composed of born-again Christians governed by the Biblical teachings of Jesus.

And we are called the body of Christ, and He is our Head. The church would be always carry of the pillar of the truth. We should always carry His name and message. His sanctification and justification. We were taught on how to have the good fight of faith and have it established in our hearth. His divine work and mission on earth were finished.

We must bear in mind that moment when Jesus said, “it is finished” marks the very beginning of His glorification and would never be separated from His church. He did not leave us nor forsake us. He loves us so much that was why He asked the Father to give us a Comforter, our Holy Spirit who will teach us, guide us, and comfort us.

Jesus armed us with shields and weapons – His 9 fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Holy Spirit are our treasure and power. Notice how our Savior fought the good fight of faith, not with muscles, and cleverness, but He fought with spirit and kindness which we must emulate. He won the battle on the cross. It is the parchment of mankind’s distinction of pure communion and clear faith.

The Fifth Word – Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." John 19:28

Why did Jesus say that He was thirsty during His dying moments on the Cross? I believe that Jesus was not asking for water or vinegar; or asking for something to satisfy His thirst. He was actually thirsty for the fruits of His teaching of the good news. Jesus thirsted for our individual righteousness to establish a new society, a new creation, and to present a new society.

We are the ones being mentioned to satisfy His thirst because of our obedience and humility to do His will. When you are thirsty, you feel dryness in your throat. But the scripture says that what they gave to Jesus was not water but a vinegar. John 19:28-29 – After this Jesus knowing that all things were not accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, “I thirst”. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop and put it to His mouth.

You may not fill dryness in your life today, but look around, first your partner in life, children and parents, and members of the family, neighborhood, your pastor, elders and brethren, all are thirsty. Not thirsty for water, but of love. The Bible says: Love conquers all things. Jesus is the living water. He is the source of everything we need. There is a song that always reminds our dryness. It goes this way, as the deer pants for the water so my soul long after thee…

The Fourth Word – And when the sixth was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying Eloi, Eloi. Lama Sabachthani… Which is being interpreted. My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me? Mark 15:33-34

How would you reflect on this climatic moment of Jesus? A totally different scene when He went to a water baptism by John. After the baptism the Bible speaks about the voice of the Father proclaiming Him like this, This is My Son, in whom I am well pleased. But in His last moments, Jesus did not hear any single word from His heavenly Father.

We see on the cross was crucified the God-man Jesus. His flesh was still suffering the pains of the nails. Jesus flesh was not in any way immune to the affliction. His plea to His Father ends with a question mark? Did God really forsake His only son? No, no, no, no no!!! Our God never forsakes His children. And God never forsakes us because He said once, and He will say it again and again with that assurance of His word … I will not leave you nor forsake you.. A man forsaken because of his actions and sins which lead to separation from God. Most of the time, we hold on to our own selfish and useless reasoning. We negate the power of God’s word to work in our life individually.

Whenever we limit the power of God’s word, we limit the power of the word to work and manifest in our life. In reality, Jesus keeps on telling us that for apart from them, we can do nothing. Remember that His name is Emmanuel, meaning God is with us. Let me suggest this point, whenever you do not hear God’s voice, keep yourself silent. Wait on the Lord surely, you will hear again and again and again this word of encouragement, I will not leave you nor forsake you…

Christians called it “7 Last Words” – 3

We are now sharing to you the 3rd part of this series which Christians today, yesterday and next generation always remember the famous words of Jesus Christ taken from the bible. It is good to remember specially for all Christians because everyone knows what happened in the cross.

The Third Word – Verily, I say unto thee, today thou shalt be with Me in paradise – Luke 23:43

Repentance brings restoration and life. A life that is distinct from the old one. It is a life filled with hope and un-experience joy. True repentance performs miracles and opens the doors to paradise. This is written in Matthew 11:28 – Come to Me, those are weary and heavily laden and I will give them rest.

For all we know paradise is the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom Jesus speaks about is the earthly life because He came down from heaven to earth to reign us our King in our lives on earth. So, the life itself with Jesus Christ is the Kingdom of God for there is no Kingdom without a King and there is kingdom wherever there is a king. But we are blessed because we have the kindest, truest and one and only King. His name is Jesus Christ.

Do you agree on it?

The Second Word – When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciples standing by, whom He loved, He said unto His mother, “Woman, behold thy son! Then saith He to the disciples, Behold they mother! – John 19:26

The scene reflects the tenderness of Jesus to His earthly mother which serves as an excellent example for us believers to renders our respective mother the best love and care that we could give them. It shows to us the natural movement of the undisturbed heart.

Friendship and fellowship are the fruits of the cultivated garden of Christian love, a distinct quality of man really depends on. For without the nourishment of Christian love is an artificial gathering of men for conflict and deceit. Man cannot live alone because he is created to express himself to others, to create thoughts and things with others and for others. His need for the companionship of others is in his nature. Sad to say, many have used to exploit others and for personal and vested interest only: not for lasting friendship.

For us, the question is…. Do we love our mother? Do you remember her birthday? If so, how many times did you send her a card? Do you give or send her financial support? How many times did you tell her that you love her very much? The bible says: “Respect your father and mother. Obey them. So that you will have long and prosperous life.”

Do not waith too long to tell her that you really love your mother. Remember that she carried you nine months and cared you a decade and more. The time is now for you to act and tell your mother, Ma, I love you very much! Noticed your mother’s eyes, tears slowly failing while you are embracing her. For once in her lifetime, make your mother feels she is a very important person in your life. She is only waiting you to say it! Do it now!

Christians called it “7 Last Words” – 1

We as Christians called them the 7 last words. Words that are holy and will not pass away as they constitute the declaration of the Christian faith and our understanding of the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.

We must bear in mind that every letter of the 7 last words represents every drop of the blood of the savior. These 7 last words are the sacred carries of ardent thoughts which have brought life to millions. Words that guided their faith to God and love for fellow man. They are 7 last words that have inspired men of distinction in the area of repentance, for those who are, whore were and who will be in the world of sin. They constitute in the last golden page of Jesus Christ’s history par excellence. We as believers with reverence, make it a point to memorize and always read them, and study their meaning.

The First Word – Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. – Luke 23:34. Jesus uttered these words by asking His Father to forgive those who killed Him even while He was still alive on the Cross. It is the same request tasked to us by our Lord Jesus to readily forgive those who sinned against us. More often than not, we allow ourselves to become a victim of our moral ignorance, our lack of faith and love of Jesus as a person and His message which left us to malice and envy uncured that was why they brought our Savior to the Cross.

Ignorance of the truth sometimes appears as a sincerity of the conscience and a commandment for duty. This means by sincerity one may abuse and judge another person, but in reality he may not hold the truth. The truth requires a life-long study and experience as it also needs a merciful heart for compassion and sympathy, also revelation. To replace the truth with an unmerciful sincerity of conscience is a fundamental mistake like what Pilate’s question “what is truth? Still remains unanswered for those who have not yet received “Jesus Christ” (the truth), an absolute faith in the savior and his message.

God has forgave us through His son, so do we must forgive those who hurt us, sinned against us, persecuted us. How good it is to live an earth without any single enemy. What an excellent planet earth to live on. Praised the Lord Jesus!

TRUTH OF HIS WORD - 8

[8.1] "Knowing this first, that no prophecy [inspired writing or speaking] of the Scripture is of any private [Gk: ‘its OWN’] interpretation" (II Pet. 1:20).
[8.2] "To understand a proverb, AND THE INTERPRETATION [or ‘puzzle’—the proverb itself is not also the interpretation]…" (Prov. 1:6).
[8.3] "Are you able to make known unto me THE DREAM which I have seen, AND THE INTERPRETATION thereof [the dream does not interpret itself]?" (Dan. 2:26).

"Own" is a little closer to the Greek in this verse than is the word "private." A few examples of how the Greek word, idios, is used in other Scriptures will show this more clearly. In a few cases it should be translated "private," as in, "…the disciples came unto Him privately" (Matt. 24:3). But more than 70 times it is translated "own" as in: Matt. 9:1 "…and came into his own city [Gk: idios—not ‘private’ city]." John 4:44 "…has honor in his own country ."I Pet. 3:5 "…unto their own husbands ."

Why is no Scripture its OWN interpretation, we might ask? To protect the integrity of the Scriptures, for one thing. ALL twelve of these spiritual principles are to be used together in explaining the Scriptures. If every Scripture or even any Scripture can be its "own interpretation," then we wouldn’t need the other eleven principles. How can a Scripture be its own interpretation when we are told to "compare or MATCH spiritual with spiritual?" One standing along cannot at the same time be a match to something else. Why then the need for "TWO witnesses" if each Scripture fully interprets itself? No, everyone one of the principles that I am presenting is of paramount importance.

In our last example on the judgments by fire (I Cor. 3 and Rev. 20), it was absolutely necessary to have not only two witnesses, but to match one spiritual teaching with another spiritual teaching in order to arrive at the truth. You see, neither Scripture by itself, fully explains God’s "judgments by fire." From I Cor. 3 orthodoxy will concede that the fire is figurative, spiritual, symbolic, and that the believers that go through this fire WILL BE SAVED BY IT. But this same orthodoxy (because they refuse to obey this commandment of God’s Scripture) conclude that the lake of fire of Rev. 20, is not symbolic, even though the whole book is "signified" (Rev. 1:1), which is "symbolized." They say that this fire is literal, and that those that go through it will never be saved.

Theologians and preachers despise this simple and unassailable Scriptural logic and truth.
Here is a simple example as to why no Scripture is its OWN interpretation. I am asked about once a week the following question: If dead people are really dead as you say {actually, I quote SCRIPTURE when I say that, so it is really GOD saying it, not I], then how was it that Moses and Elijah appeared alive with Christ on the mount? Let’s read it:

"And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with Him" (Matt. 17:1-3).

Now then, since most theologians refuse to follow the commandments of God, they do conclude that this verse is its OWN interpretation, and therefore what you see is what you get—Elijah and Moses are still alive in heaven, or some place. To them this Scripture is its OWN interpretation; they don’t need a SECOND witness; they don’t need to compare SPIRITUAL WITH SPIRITUAL; they don’t need to be sure this Scripture MATCHES other Scriptures. Hence, break the commandments of God and they teach heresy.

The preachers and theologians of Christendom ARE the Scribes and Pharisees, Elders, the Chief priests of today’s Church. And what was their attitude back then with regards to following the commandments of God with regard to having more than one witness, etc.? "And as soon as it was day, the ELDERS, of the people and the CHIEF PRIESTS and the SCRIBES came together and led Him into their council… Then said they all, ‘Are You then the Son of God?’ And He said unto them, ‘You say that I am.’ And they said, WHAT NEED WE ANY FURTHER WITNESS?…" (Luke 22:66, 70-71).

Yes, indeed, "What NEED have we of any further witness?" Here’s why we need to follow the commandments of God. Just one additional Scripture witness will solve this Christian heresy that dead people are still alive. Here it is: "And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the VISION [the vision they just had in verses 1-3 if Elijah and Moses appearing as if they were alive] to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead " (Matt. 17:9).

It was all a VISION! It never "literally" happened anymore than your dreams are literal. The Scripture says "two or THREE witnesses," so lets throw in a third just to put this whole issue out of the reach of the heretics. Are Elijah and Moses still alive? Did they receive their promises and go to heaven. Are they now in heaven?

Turn to Hebrews 11. Although Elijah is not mentioned by name in this chapter, he is, nonetheless, included, as he certainly was "…OF the PROPHETS" (Verse 32). What do the Scriptures say regarding the present condition of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham & Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and the prophets, of whom Elijah was one? Are they alive today? Did they receive the promises. Are they in heaven? Hold on, cause I’m about to knock your socks off:
"These ALL DIED IN FAITH, NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES… For they that say such things declare plainly that they SEEK a country… they DESIRE a better country, that is a HEAVENLY… And ALL THESE, having obtained a good report through faith, [here comes the second witness that they are dead and not in heaven]… RECEIVED NOT THE PROMISE: God having provided something better thing FOR US, that THEY without US should NOT BE MADE perfect".

TRUTH OF HIS WORD - 7

[7.1] "Now ALL these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for OUR ADMONITION upon whom the ends of the world are come" (I Corinthians. 10:11).
[7.2] "Now these things were OUR EXAMPLES, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted" (I Corinthians. 10:6).
[7.3] "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for OUR LEARNING…" (Romans. 15:4).

It is essential that we study the Old Testament Scriptures, for they are often the only key to the New Testament Scriptures. Paul used the Hebrew Scriptures to teach the foolish Galatians the New Covenant promises. Here’s but one great example:

"Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not HEAR the law? For it is written that Abraham had to sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the FLESH; but he of the freewoman was by PROMISE. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which genders [gives birth] to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar IS mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
"But the Jerusalem which is above is free, which IS the mother of us all.
For it is written, ‘Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has an husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
"Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman SHALL NOT be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free." (Galatians. 4:21-31).

This is not only an allegory, but it is an allegory containing many metaphors as well. An allegory is when characters or events (such as Sarah and Agar and their children) represent abstract or spiritual ideas or principles. A metaphor is when one thing is said to be something else. (such as Agar actually being mount Sinai, which then represents or corresponds to Jerusalem in bondage). It may seem a little complicated at first, but once one sees all of the aspects of the allegory explained, this principle is quite easy to understand. Nevertheless, it does require the Spirit of God to believe it. It is this very fact (that the Church does not understand or believe this allegory) that the Church continues to believe that God’s true chosen people are STILL, "the children of the bondwoman"—"Jerusalem which NOW IS" over there in the State of Israel. Unbelievable.

This dear reader, is how the Old Covenant was written for "OUR admonition…"
Does anyone believe that this is the ONLY "allegory" in the Old Testament which is written for OUR admonition. Hardly—the Old Testament is FILLED with such allegories, but who has "ears to hear and eyes to see?" And "who will believe our report?" The whole book of Revelation is explained in the Old Testament Scriptures, but the theologians of this world do not and cannot discern it. They all teach that Revelation is a book of end-time, end-of-the-world eschatology. They have not a clue.

Paul constantly referred to the Old Testament Scriptures in his epistles, and he taught the whole plan of salvation from the Old Testament Scriptures, as they were the only Scriptures available during his ministry.

"And that from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (II Timothy. 3:15).

These same Scriptures were now able to make Timothy wise unto salvation, but not until he first learned about Jesus Christ in the Old Testament Scriptures. These were the Scriptures that Jesus caused His apostles to understand after His resurrection:

What Jesus taught from the Old Testament Scriptures during His ministry was not even the tip of the iceberg.
The Truth of God, "thou shall sure die," and the lie of the Devil, "you shall NOT surely die," is for "our admonition." The story of Cain and Able is for "our admonition." The story of the flood is for "our admonition." The story of Babel is for "our admonition." The promises to Abraham and the meaning of faith are for "our admonition." The entire story in every single detail of Joseph and his brothers is for "our admonition." Do you wear your "coat of many colors," or do you hide it in the closet? You say: "What coat of many colors?"

TRUTH OF HIS WORD – 6

[6.1] "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL" (I Cor. 2:13).
[6.2] "And to this AGREE the words of the prophets; as it is written…" (Acts 15:15).
[6.3] "These … searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were SO (Acts 17:11).
[6.4] "AS You have sent Me into the world, EVEN SO have I sent them into the world" (John 17:18).

The purpose for comparing spiritual with spiritual is to find a spiritual match. There is a spiritual match for every symbol in the book of Revelation. This is a powerful truth that will open the whole Bible to us. In the previous truth we learned the need for two witnesses. In this truth we will learn the need for those two witnesses to be a "spiritual match." Let’s now "spiritually match" two witnesses and see the marvelous eye-opening result. After being introduced to the Great White Throne in Rev. 20:11, we read of the judgment of every man’s work in fire:

And I saw the dead small and great stand before God, and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Notice the specifics of these verses: "Every man’s work is to be judged by fire."
1. EVERY MAN
2. Every man’s WORK
3. Every man’s work is to be JUDGED
4. Every man’s work is to be judged IN FIRE

But we learned that no witness can stand alone. We must have at least TWO WITNESSES to establish the truth of any doctrine. For the simple fact that orthodoxy absolutely refuses to give you a "spiritual match" to these Scriptures, it has enabled them to attach all kinds of unscriptural, extra-scriptural, anti-scriptural heresies to the above Scripture. Why won’t they give you a "second witness," and a "spiritual match" to the above Scripture? Because the only second witness which is a spiritual match to the above Scripture, destroys their whole pagan teaching regarding it, that’s why.

Now then, is there a second witness to: Every man’s work is to be judged by fire? Yes, there is a SECOND witness to this Scripture. But we are looking for more than just a second witness. We have just learned that we are also to "compare [or match] spiritual with spiritual." We are looking for a second witness which is a SPIRITUAL MATCH to these statements that Every man’s work is to be judged in fire."

Would you believe that there is ONE and ONLY ONE such spiritual match to this Scripture in the entirety of the Bible? After I give it to you, you will clearly see why orthodoxy will not even concede that this Scripture IS a second witness and a spiritual match. Here it is:
"Every man’s work shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try [test, examine, judge] every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide that he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire" (I Cor. 3:13-15).

There it is: a perfect spiritual match and a second witness to Rev. 20:13-15):
1. EVERY MAN
2. Every man’s WORK
3. Every man’s work TRIED, TESTED OR JUDGED
4. Every man’s work tried, tested or judged IN FIRE

Why do Christians and theologians hate what I have just shown you? Because when we put these two spiritually matched Scriptures together, we also are given the added knowledge that there is SALVATION in and through this fire which judges us, and the Church doesn’t want all mankind to be saved. Yes, the most evil people who have ever lived, will also be saved one day, but contrary to what all of my detractors constantly lie about my writings, is that they will not be saved before they are purged in "God’s CONSUMING FIRE" of every last vestige of evil and carnality.

But many Christians have written me insisting that these two Scriptures are not spiritual matches, and in fact insist that they are never even a second witness to one another. Be it known to all, that God’s CONSUMING SPIRITUAL FIRE will purge every vestige of these carnal and evil deceptions of THE GREAT WHORE CHURCH OF BABYLON.

They (like we) will first be "ground to POWDER" (Luke 20:18), and then (like we) subjected to "refiners FIRE and fuller’s SOAP" (Malachi 3:2) of Almighty God. The process for them will be the same process as with us, albeit at a later date, and in many cases with greater intensity, and remember that "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the LIVING GOD" (Heb. 10:31). But it is not a never-ending fear in eternal torture. Question: As the world of Christendom predominantly believes that the Bible is to be taken literally, how pray tell is it even within the realm of possibility for them to compare ANYTHING "spiritual with spiritual" from the Scriptures?
