Prophets Weren't Psychics, They Were Covenant Enforcers

- Most of what a prophet did in the Old Testament had nothing to do with End Times, as we think of End Times. A good portion of it had something to do with predictions for Israel, Judah, their enemies, that sort of thing. But that's sort of near-future prediction. But actually, most of what even Old Testament prophets did had nothing to do with predicting anything. It really wasn't their main job. Most of what a prophet preached about and wrote about was more along the lines of; "why has your believing loyalty failed?" Check this out!

You’ve made me love the Bible even more with all the “weird stuff” being explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it open to those like myself. I love learning from you!! God bless you and pray for speedy recovery.
Great reminder. Biblical prophets always had a word to give people about cleaning up their act...or else. They were often hated. I pray for your health, Dr. Mike.
Jordan Peterson would fit into the modern day prophet category.
@@ghostgate82 Only he's very iffy on Yahweh..... so far. Seems like God is working him over. I hope to see him fully come to faith soon.
*If Heiser really wanted to help people he would teach people what prophets are and how and why they are ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT in the OLD TEST. and the NEW TEST.*
@@thetruthchannel349 Can you explain how you see they differ ?
@@ghostgate82 Not at all. He is someone who has seen a lot of people in bad situations and realized the truth in Gods word. But he isn't anything close to getting revelation or messages from God. He gets a lot wrong with interpreting scripture as he "imports" symbols from Jung and other outside sources and "super imposes" their meaning over scripture. You really cant do this with the bible. It might work in some very specific cased but usually the symbols in the bible are quite different and instead of exegesis to draw out the meaning you end up with eisegesis - which is "reading in" your own meaning.
I always click on these videos and when they are over I can't believe that 10 minutes has gone by in the blink of an eye. Great stuff!
You and your studies are a great gift to the planet. Glory to God for making you you.
Amen!
God bless you Dr. HEISER...PRAYING FOR YOU❤
It is a great privilege to listen to your teachings. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
I feel so grateful for all the content you make. You have taught me so much 🙏💕 Praying for you and your family Mike 🙏
I live for this.
Ironic, because it's alive in you.
I live for God
Love how he points out false prophets may even properly predict something that comes to pass but could still be false prophets based on other clues.
You state it well. The prophets called Israel back to Torah!
“ why has your believing loyalty failed?” - great summary of then and now! Today’s believers think they got a covenant of do what you want and be happy, and let’s get raptured. We won’t see trouble
this is a "wake up and re-adjust" video. Nice job on knocking down another tradition of man when it came to prophecy. Thanks.
I think the amazing thing I came to realize about prophets and particularly the "parables" or "sign acts" they performed is usually they were working on 2 levels concurrently. They were doing exactly what you say here. Focused on the current generations covenant failings and often punishement or repentance they would have to go through. But very often the way these were described or acted out served as future prophecy related to Christ. So you often have these weird synchronicities with the prophets using the current events and failings and turning them into shadows and types of the future events. EG King Davids psalm 22 is written about himself ..... but the spirit made this also serve as a future prophecy of Christ.
Or Abraham's entire life - he literally walks out or "role plays" the entire old testament with his family. His wife being given to the pharoah is symbolic of Israels time of slavery in egypt. His wife handed over to Abishek is prophetic of Israels Babylonian exile. Isaac on the mountain is prophecy of Christ. Its amazing how the prophets could juggle both current and future simultanesously. Its not an either or - its usually "and".
*Thats true. The ancient Hebrew had a word for this. Its completely skipping my memory slots right now but it basically means that Scriptures can touch multiple places in time and space or could have multiple applications at the same time. When I really realized this and begin seeing all throughout the Library of Biblical texts I was even more mind blown than I was before. I dont think Heiser or anyone else for that matter has even begin to realize how the Bible functions on a hyper-physical multiplicity of levels. Perhaps the glass is only 'fuzzy' because of our ability to see through it and not because of any 'fault' with the glass itself or due to any design of the glass.'*
Salvation in covenant. Beautifully said! And the terms of the covenant are written on our inward parts, his spirit causing us to walk in his law.
Wow, never saw it this way. Goes against what I was always taught in church but makes sense in light of certain passages and what I hear respectable prophets imply. Gotta pray on this.
1:21
Some weeks ago, I was thinking the same.
They deal more with the present than with the future, though they use some messianic things in the process.
Mike is one of those guys who, if certain other really good (but mislead in certain areas) pastors would learn this material, it would shoot them off into another stratosphere of teaching. I'll be listening to a guy preach a wonderful sermon, but then get to the place where they say Sons of God or Elohim are just Jewish elders, and it ruins it for me. IDK why we so stubbornly hang on to those things. It's one of the biggest, last hurdles.
The sons of God thing is annoying but its even more annoying with things that are unmistakable. Like Jonah for example. I hear so many preaching about Jesus comparing himself to Jonah and they say Jonah did not die. They tend to also make it all about being inside the fish. I have to wonder have they even read the book. Jonah makes it clear he drowned and died before the fish picked him up... I haven't heard Mike preach about this yet I guess I will look up what Mike had to say about it.
Anyone that says let us go and worship gods that you or the fathers have Not known that is indeed an anti-Christ.

Thank you! The eerily new agish "prediction as spiritual entertainment" disease currently infecting the body is so disheartening. Prayers up for you and your family.
*But thats not the correct lens either. The correct lens is taking the ministry gifts given to the Body and looking at their operation according to a unified purpose that manifests corporately via the Gifts of the Spirit. There are specific Gifts of the Spirit that work with each and every ministry gifting.*
@@thetruthchannel349 How about we focus on the gospel and getting more people to come to Jesus. That would be nice, wouldn't it? The world is watching us, and counting on us. The "gifts" stuff is real, but can become an addiction and nothing more than watered down entertainment, to where it loses any meaning whatsoever. Like I said previous, dime a dozen. If you're truly operating with these powerful gifts, you'd be making some waves outside of your congregation.

This headline caught my attention because the heart of the Bible is Covenant relationship, with the Creator YHVH and His people
JESUS is our EndTime prophet
His prophecies are unfolding in their absolute fulfillment as we speak!!!
Another great point from Michael
So true and there are so many false prophets out there today smh 🤦♂️
*But no false pastors, no false evangelists and no false teachers. Right?*
@@thetruthchannel349 like the ones who teach a person they can loose their salvation and have to do something to keep it!
@@SOG8014 *Ok, so then why do people call guys like Joel Olsteen a 'false prophet?' No one ever calls him a false teacher. Im not saying he is. Im just using him as an example. Hes always a 'false prophet.' Thats the point Im making. Why are we obsessed with the idea of prophets being false?*
@@thetruthchannel349 I’m not obsessed with prophets being false so don’t automatically assume things. An example Dana coverstone and so many others like him. They make future predictions etc that never come to pass which means they are not hearing from GOD! Get it
@@SOG8014 *Ya I understand. But thats not being a false prophet since the Office of the New Testament prophet is NOT about making predictions about the future. Sure, that happens with REAL N.T. prophets but Id say its very rare. In fact, from what Ive observed it would seem that most New Testament Prophets function mainly as teachers.*
Great video as always 😎
Heiser is essentially proving women had an authoritative role approved by God. If a prophet's main job was to understand the law and hold people accountable and to speak truth publicly, then we know of a number of women who were empowered to speak. This completely undermines the logic of some who say a woman cannot utter anything in an assembly.
He created men and women as equals to him for in the spirit there is no male or female.
Was it the queen of Sheba that Jesus said would also condemn that generation?
It was the queen who sought Solomon and his wisdom.
Do you realize what a cut that was? She was not a Jew and how could she of all people condemn them?
@@dw3403 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
One thing that I find missing in this has to do with Jonah. His prophecy didn't come to pass, because when the people repented God relented. He simply preached that God would destroy Nineveh in 40 days, nothing more and nothing less. Some prophecy is conditional on the person's or nations response, but the prophet may not state that it is conditional. This is where knowing the heart of God comes into play.
I love the teaching, such depth.
so appreciate this message. Wish everyone in the church would listen and understand what a true prophet is!
Praying 🙏 for you brother
Aaaaamen! Extremely important truth right there!
The gift of clear and plain speaking and teaching. Thanks.
In the year 2000 I heard the first trumpet , it warns us that the vegetation is dying.
After twenty two years later the sign is evident.
Tank you for these snippets of knowledge!
I never put together before that part of the martyrdom of the early church was to prove the guys wrong who claimed to be better than those who had slain the righteous. Reminds me of Peter: 'I will never deny you!' Jesus: '....really?
I might add two things. The first one is Revelation 19:10 where we have "...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" which certainly gives us the understanding that "prophecy" is more than the foretelling of events. The other is the seriousness by which some prophets are dealt with which we see in Zechariah 13:3, "And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him
through when he prophesieth.
Teachers and advisors of the word still being spoken , the best way I think of it. Nothing like Michael to confirm our faith to the words. so much love toward him from so many he'd never know. would the judgement of law not need a compass ?
When Saul encounters prophets and he himself prophesizes (1 Sam 10), what are they doing in reference to what Dr Heiser is describing?
I believe that the book of Revelation happens primarily because too many got focused away from life in Jesus. You have God who basically says, "okay then, this is what is going to happen because life in Jesus wasnt good enough for you... This is what is going to happen to you and around you because you wouldnt".
So, are all those fake prophets then actually being fake covenant enforcers?
They are not covenant enforcers of the true God. They are liars, antichrists, leading away from the true God, to worship and serve another god which is rebellion and apostasy. They may be able to perform signs and wonders but test their words not their signs. If they line up with scripture and are loyal to Yahweh AND what they say comes true. They are true prophets of God.
Thank you dear brother in Jesus! ❤️ Great video !!!!🙏

Thank you.
I appreciate that this guy tries to make sense of the bible. Most youtube preachers just make up wild stories and call thier own stories "bible."
Some crazy stuff out there isnt there?
Many false prophets with click bait.
In a few thousand years they'll look back and reminisce about the early church fathers, Mike Heiser, Tim Mackie, Trey Strickland... #DatPostMil
Idk about Tim Mackie...but yea lol i get what you’re saying. (For those probably about to ask...Tim Mackie doesn’t really believe the book of Genesis should be taken literally. It’s more of a poetic expression of the beginning) He did great stuff with Bible project but even that falls a bit short. But I can’t wait to still see the Lord bless him upon his return
@@saiyasho16 I want to make a slight correction, he does take it literally. Taking something literally means to take it as written or as the author intended it to be read. Tim posits that the author didn't intend Genesis 1-2:3 and 2:4-3:24 to serve at a journalistic or video camera version of events, but rather as an archetypal presentation of events. So by taking Genesis as largely archetypical he is taking it "literally" because he thinks the meaning the author is trying to convey is archetypal. Now you can argue what the author really intended, but you can't dance with the label of literal or non-literal.
Another point, even the staunchest "literalists" don't think that God created the universe in one single day even though that's what 2:4 says. They also don't think that man and woman become one flesh like a siamese twin (2:24) when they are joined in a relationship. Noone is truly a "literalist"
@@taylorj.1628 well thank you for the correction!
@@saiyasho16 I like Mackie, and perhaps I misunderstand him, but he had a very strange view on hell too. Almost like hell was this life? IDK. It was a big markerboard presentation, and he nerds out so hard, it's sometimes hard to follow him.
*Im going to be sick. Whats wrong with you people?*
9 down thumbs... Who are these people?
Thank you, Dr. Heiser
Loyal meaning obedient to God
What about Paul because he wrote about the rapture in a present day sense to his church in a factual manner
Please link your full messages in your message excerpts.
Jesus was also a prophet or rather The Prophet. He pointed back to his Father’s commands, statutes and decrees. He didn’t come to abolish those commands. If he did then he would have been a false prophet. The Pharisees couldn’t find fault with him but they were doing their job by testing Jesus. Jesus came to fulfill the requirements of the law that separated us from the Father. Jesus didn’t come to obey so we could disobey. Even Paul said to disobey God’s law is sin and we shouldn’t sin. Think about that.
What did he sum up the law in scripture?
Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
For the law did not bring righteousness. It is called the dead letter in the new testament.
Only by being born again through believing Gods promise to Abraham was fulfilled are we declared righteous. And its not our own, he bought it back through our redemption on the cross.
@@dw3403 I agree but should you keep sinning?
@@dw3403 Paul calls the law holy so it’s not bad. We know what sin is because we have the law. We just have a hard time keeping it. Jesus kept it perfectly.
@@teagan75
God forbid. LOL
@@teagan75
I dont find anything wrong with the ten commandments do you?
Do you remember reading where God tells them he wants his laws written on hearts of flesh and not stone?
I do believe he likens the law to a teacher for children. But then we jump to Jesus where he said to the law makers that they came up with laws they wouldn't lift a finger to do. They had so many laws by the time Jesus came on scene it was ridiculous and they were not from God. They were so caught up in trying to please God through the keeping of the law, and their traditions they missed the one who had been promised to them.
In those days they put false prophets to death, Wow can you imagine how many of these false prophets would be dead today lots, there are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere.
Thanks
Excellent. Exposition
In order to understand the Old Testament, it is important to realize that there are two covenants. The covenant of the law and covenant of promise. Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians describes the difference between these two covenants.
Galatians 4:22-31 KJVS
[22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. [27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [30] 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. [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

A prophet/prophetess to me is a Believer who reminds or warns other Believers to live by the scriptures which they claim to believe, but especially to live by the God they claim to know.
Not a very "popular" role in the church today.

That is it right there. The main thing with a prophet, especially in the Old Testament, they were to be the mouth of God to the people of Israel. If a prophet tells the people "thus says the Lord", if that prophets words were contrary to what God had previously said, that prophet was put to death. To that end, being a prophet was a very serious thing and if you were called by God to serve as his prophet, you would likely be scared out of your mind, knowing that if God is about give a new revelation, you might want to run for the hills later, lest you be put to death. Rarely did the prophets say much about the future, or if they did, it was rarely very far into the future.
"Rarely did the prophets say much about the future, or if they did, it was rarely very far into the future" *You've not studied the Books of the Prophets have you?*
What about Jonathan Kleck?
Thank u
Are they considered God’s lawyers? Has Christ done away with the law? Are there prophets today?
"Has Christ done away with the law?" *Only a question the devil would ask and for the same reasons you ask it.*
I think covnant "describers" is better than "enforcers". The prophets often describe the covenant and those who have broken or invalidated the covenant. "Trampled it under foot" so to speak. The prophets warn us to repent and return to covenant relationship with God. Some do enforce of course....but they enforce the will of God and not the covenant . The covnant between man and God can be broken. This is within the will of God. God's will is to allow man to freely choose life or death....sanctification or sinfulness. Thanks for the video All Glory is God's! Love you
*The Enforcers were supposed to be the Kings. There were 3 Ministry Gifts in operation then. Prophets, Priests and Kings. Kings were to be the enforcers not the Prophets.*
The unfaithfulness of the person they were told by the spirit of God to speak to and the person that came to them and ask them a question to ask of the Lord God and when they did God spoke to them because the prophet was faithful to to God
Thats fine and good, but those days are finished. Set in stone, history. In this age, what they wrote about the times of the end is worthy of study. Relevant to the future.
I have an honest question.. what if a new testament individual speak contrary to torah Regarding food laws , sabbaths ect ?... some things are confusing to me
Remember only way to repent and be saved by Christ act 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13 and Zeph 3:9 just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not churches but Jesus will guide you personally to the end John 10:1-6,11-16, Acts 4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!
You just summed up my entire life. Can you say hot water? I knew you could.
The prophet teaches the TORAH, not against it just like the prophet Jesus Christ who is sent by His Father who taught us that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word (Torah, etc) that comes out from God.
Did anyone think that they were? That sounds a little silly.
Prohets hear from GOD HE tells them what to say.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation....I am sure He meant 2000 years later....
*Actually, he meant the generation that is alive on the earth that witnesses the things he points out. Its not rocket science.*
*Im perplexed at the strained confusion over that chapter. 1. Jesus is asked about the 'Last times.' 2. Jesus then lays out things that are TO COME UPON the earth and then says 3. 'THE GENERATION that SEES THESE THINGS....' You have to WANT to be confused to be confused here.*

And also not
Preterism is the correct eschatological hermeneutic.
The Apostles all said their days were the last days and their time was the end time. The author of Revelation makes clear that it concerns things which "must shortly come to pass". Jesus said he would return within one generation and that some people within earshot of that declaration would live to see it happen. When pressed for details, he connected his coming to the siege and fall of Jerusalem, the destruction of the Temple and the diaspora, claiming those events were the fulfillment of all prophecy, while referring to the prophet Daniel. Daniel asked when his visions would be fulfilled and was told essentially,"a long time after you're dead, in like 500 years" which brings you to the first century.
Prophecy was written to and about the Jews and concerns their fate as a nation and as covenant people of God. That fate was sealed in A.D. 70.
"Jesus said he would return within one generation" *JESUS NEVER SAID THAT.*
"Prophecy was written to and about the Jews and concerns their fate as a nation and as covenant people of God. That fate was sealed in A.D. 70" *Matthew 24 calls this a LIE.*
*This is just one link in the chain that ATHEISM is trying to forge once their FLAT EARTH PSYOP FAILED and they realized they needed something far more sophisticated. This garbage is showing up at the SAME time the Trinity is being attacked in every comment thread on CZcams along with the Doctrine of the Rapture.

What’s about prophet Mohammed?
He teaches about one god. He said it’s the god of the Bible but Jesus is just a prophet too.
So did Christianity made Jesus to god or is Mohammed a false prophet?…
Folks today think that Prophets are not Covenant Enforcers but Fortune Tellers. They walk up to you and tell you they are a prophet and God has plans for you. They never say or know that they are brought before The LORD as He sits on His Throne, like the Old Testament Prophets. They don't have a clue. They don't even preach. I think they have other gifts, like encouragement. I think they mean well and don't do any harm. The ones you must worry about are the ones who ironically do preach and promises you success, as they demand your Credit Card Number. Like all the ones on TV who Promised us that Trump would not only win but will sit on his throne in the Oval Office and they have no shame for being wrong so many times...
*Im a little confused as to what you're complaining here?*
**His Covenant including every one of God’s unchanging laws.
*Odd how videos which are supposed to prove clarity just make even a bigger mess*
@@thetruthchannel349 well it’s true. Matthew 22:40 says that on those two commandments hang both all of the law and the prophets. (Neither of them were commandments but more so summaries of the purpose of every law given to us.) what I take away from that is the responsibility of a prophet is and was to reiterate what God had told man when man falls into sin and forgets / rejects his ways. His ways has been and always will be his law clarified and provided to every believer (the body of Israel) in the Torah (the 1st 5 books of the Bible.)
I came from an evangelical upbringing, and my folks have always listened to all these “prophesiers” who only warn people of hard times or spiritual warfare. Unless one of them brings attention the sin of the people (which is unpopular) I don’t even believe they are worth listening to. You always hear them say turn back to God but without a whole lot of application. what does that look like? It looks like someone who both dwells on and lives out the law of God (Duet 6:8), because we acknowledge that he is our king and ruler. What law of God is not good? What law is unjust? Why should Christianity claim that some laws you no longer have to follow? Is that really what Jesus said? If Jesus is God, then he’s the person that gave us every one of those laws to begin with. To pick and choose is to reject portions of God’s word and it’s a slippery slope to living a life of lawlessness. (The message of the Antichrist.)

Are we talking about the words of Jesus, john 1:17 grace and truth or Moses, the law. For Jesus His words were to be taught, "Theaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...." Matthew 28:20. The words of Jesus are greater than Moses. Acts 3:19-26, for He taught Moses in grace and truth. To bad the Church puts her "spin" on what grace and truth. Usually the denominations preference meaning to fit its doctrine. Thanks Dr Mike for trying to keep to the truth although you have had many detractors. Shame on you denominational purists saying the words of Jesus is only how WE interpret it so to keep our narrative going. Who brings back Eden your church's rigidity and its laws or the flesh and blood man Jesus?

Jesus will return after Jerusalem gets nuked by the abomination which causes desolation mentioned in Matthew 24.

First of when was the word slave used? What term fo slavery is their meaning? is it not the thug, or person of lawlessness that acts in all cruelty and then act as if one is something they are not... if one comes into a land in harmony or at peace, what then befits it to drive a wedge and then rape and take the houses of those also that dwell on the earth; is that then not a liar and a thief? A lawless human, a nonsense thing? ot which and why is babylon hated or assyria? Or other groups? Was it not the cruelty abound nad created by in which those grops that made them so by the means and speak not of any semblance of truth. Instead it is a liars web. The plethora of history ignored, form teh cultists of judah make all small and large, take upon their nonsense and mantale and force huamntiy ot become more ignroant and more violent? yet claim to be better? What then is their meanign to slave of egypt? they ceratinly killed the poeple of cainain ? celebrate murder? Is there any semblance of rational in this weird group of people that force this intermixing of what was the scribes of the moral thoguths andteachigns of the day on sound knowledge? What about hte ittities ? Did they deserive their great kingdom to be destroyed by the byblos idiots? Wrekcc the bronze and mass trade fleets? What is the end plan? to consolidate and make slave of all humans? to destroy all leaders?... So if I come out a desert and into a kingdom do I plan then to take it over? If we read the story of moses, techncialyl moses attempts to take over egypt in a sense, so what is law then? What is slavery? Is slavery to exploit others for work? What if those that are workign are more rigitious or lawful ? do you besmirch them as if you are god, and make upon hardhsips upon them waiting ot accuse them, basedon your fleecing of money? do you turn the netire mass you contorl against them? for you hate them? yet they are of god? What then? label them a flase prophet? you take away their home? Their family? Their law? their land??? on a tiny spinning planet ... one in 70 billion others in this galaxy..
Your god is a loser.... in whatever precept ... not hte teachings of morals.. or the theft of works they take from others... they are of the same, but you are a house of thieves and stumbling block, ad great heresy set forth that oeprates to dismantle corrupt and cuase great many problems in other groups ,rather than ot see the entire planet ... you make a great fog over knowledge and ineligence and mak and hide it form many, forcing all to join your uclt.. This is hwy any group that is better, or lawful or more knowledgeable is wiped clean and then made a slave? So waht hten is to this word slave other hten the one who created slaves. Then change hte word ot what faqir.. What is slave.. and what time... clearly... a world.. that is bent economically backwards.. in all measure and place... I ahve no seen any lawfulness of any means in any land. all I see is cpaital cruelty.. and epxloit for a intended purpose... land of confusion..
Dear Dr. Michael S.Heiser, I greet you in the name of our Father & our LORD Jesus Christ. Could you please share me Logos Bible Software. I ask you because I cannot afford to buy it. God bless you. I will put my details for you here.
Logos has a free version. Check it out on their website. It is the extra resources you may have to buy but yet still there are a lot of free stuff available.
@@samuelj.prempeh6512 Dear Beloved brother thank you so much for the suggestion. I tried many times to download it but I couldn't. I really appreciate if you share me the link to the free download. God bless you.
Why did they stray? Mostly sex. When you add up the days in a month that your wife was "unclean" you have to wonder how they maintained the population at all.
😲😮🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
???? .... Siiiighhhh, it says "prophets and RIGHTEOUS MEN"
Some of the men on that list were merely great Righteous Men - NOT prophets.
Michael, Michael, Michael
Disappointed
Salvation MUST be READ ONLY in 3 Books: Mathew, John and Revelations, because of False Apostles in the First Church...If you do not believe the Trinity of Godhead , then the Mystery of Godliness or Godhead has not been revealed to you..Jesus said God is Spirit , Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth...and likewise you have not understand The Mystery of Iniquity & Death(not just a mere disobedience/breaking of, to any of the 10 laws)...If you have read the 3 Books, then the Gospel of Salvation has been preached to you..Jesus is the First Candlestick(church) with strength of the Sun’s brightness and the Last Candlestick to buy Gold tried in the Fire and Eyesalve that we may see...We are just Candlesticks or churches with brightness enough to light our own Room..
Yeah sounds complicated and like the very foundation of your premise are entirely up for debate.
🤦♂️
This sounds like some semi New-Age weirdness. God is NOT the author of confusion. He has the power to exclude "false apostles" from his Holy Word. Anyone trying to sell you some secret way to salvation like this, even if it's an angel from the heavenlies, let him be ACCURSED.
This is pure confusion. I rebuke you, Satan, in the name of Jesus.
For God to have to "reveal" something to you outside of the revealed Word of God is GNOSTICISM.
I DISAGREE! So does Isaiah and even God himself disagrees with YOU:
.
Isaiah 46:9-10
Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is no other God, nor anyone like me; 10 the One telling from the beginning THE FINALE,
.
So does Paul:
.
Romans 15:4
For ** ALL ** THE THINGS WRITTEN AFORETIME were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.
.
So does Peter:
.
1 Peter 1:10-12
Concerning this very salvation a diligent inquiry and a careful search were made by THE PROPHETS who prophesied about the undeserved kindness meant for YOU. 11 They kept on investigating what particular season or what sort of [season] the spirit in them was indicating concerning Christ when it was bearing witness beforehand about the sufferings for Christ and about the glories to follow these. 12 IT WAS REVEALED TO THEM ** the prophets ** THAT NOT TO THEMSELVES BUT TO YOU THEY WERE MINISTERING.
.
Even the prophets knew they were ministering to a future generation!
.

Deuteronomy 18 doesn't get skipped. Muhammedans have found it, and use verse 18 to try to squeeze their prophet into the Bible. 😂 😂 😂
