  • It’s been almost 2,000 years since the apostle John was instructed by Jesus to write letters to the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. These timeless letters reveal a message of God’s love through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus, identify and provide correction for problems in the church, and offer hope and encouragement for the future.

      It is our responsibility to sound the alarm and warn the world about the open invitation to receive Jesus' salvation. If we don't warn them than their blood will be on our heads, but if after we warn them, and they refuse to hear, and continue to scoff at God, then their blood will be on them, and we will be saved.

JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS WHO REIGNS FOR JUST A 1,000 YEARS THEN Hand over POWER back to his FATHER!! JESUS is the SON of GOD! is the Proper understanding

      God bless you, Aniceto Blanca. Hebrews 4: 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us live our lives consistent with our confession of faith.
      15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. Instead, we have one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet he never sinned.
      16 So let us keep on coming boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
      Praise to our Heavenly Saviour!

      Can I reveal to you that, that very thing happened to me when I was instructed to reveal the Second Coming of my Saviour in fulfilment of prophesy? It was Yahuah God who instructed me by His angel and it is by Holy Spirit I have been instructed to know scripture explanation of what is to come in this imminent day of judgment. I was instructed to make these things known to a person who would believe what is written in scriptural prophesy that religions refuse to accept?
      I did see my Messiah on that day when I returned with my mother looking again for that angel because it was necessary for my mother to reveal this to my father who instructed me immediately about the reason for the visitation. We are descendants of the priesthood that is part of the reason.

This verse does not clearly distinguish it as a distinct entity, the voice is assumed to be "God, the heavenly father", who makes explicit reference to Jesus as his son. even this reference is not the best one but I'm just being quick… If your heart is full of love research some more and you will see that God never left his throne he sent his subordinates just like anyone else would… Jesus sits beside his father now for he completed his mission and earned eternal life for it… But I'm just saying why send the leader when he has so many angels around him… They actually operate through common sense just like we do most of the time or sometimes

    Thank you Brother, I have been to Ephesus and will never forget it. I have had the feeling for the last year or two that I am an Ephesian, for many years I sought Jesus, for what he represented, not because he loved me. I have now concluded that it doesn't matter if you have found him, that means zero if you don't love him. It's a bit like being re-united with your wife who has been missing for 20 years, you wouldn't just say, ok let us continue fulfilling our wedding vows, you would throw your arms around her and never let go. That is what us Ephesians must do, be a Mary and pour expensive oil on his feet, not get busy with the contractual duties like Martha, or organise the chairs at church
