REVEALING THE IDENTITY OF THE BEAST OF REVELATION 13

REVEALING THE IDENTITY OF THE BEAST OF REVELATION 13

This presentation is more a letter of love than a lecture on biblical topics. Why do I make such a statement? Because this presentation is a warning to you and all who read it to get ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. His coming is very, very near. Are you a believer in Jesus Christ? If not, the Bible exhorts you to get ready, by preparing yourself to be born again through baptism by water, and then the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, is your Pastor preparing his congregation including you for the coming of the Lord? 

Does he preach about the doctrines of the scriptures that are relevant to the last days? Does his biblical instruction include topics such as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and about the Early and latter Rain outpouring of the Holy Spirit? I ask you these questions, because all of these things are important to all believers, because these things will happen before Christ returns and we MUST receive the latter rain in order to be saved. If you do not receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit before Christ comes, you will not be saved.  Does your pastor teach his believers, that through the power of God the Father, and through his Holy Son Jesus Christ, and that you can have victory over sin and through His power and live a righteous life? Do you believe that Jesus Christ can transform your life to live a righteous life until he comes? I believe he can, but if your pastor is not teaching and preparing you and his congregation from the coming of Jesus Christ you need to read this message with prayer and ask the Lord to open your understanding of his words as we take you through the scriptures. Our aim is to open your understanding of the things that are about to come immediately before the coming of Jesus Christ and how you may prepare yourself for his coming. 

This is the beginning of a series of studies that search the word of God for answers to the events that are occurring before his return and how to prepare yourself for his sealing. The Book of Revelation clearly states that some people will receive the seal of the Living God in order to be saved. These are God's children who have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and are sealed by God to go through the Great Tribulation. The people who are not sealed will receive the Mark of the Beast and Seven last Plagues which will be poured out due to disobedience to God’s Commandments. God’s commandments will be the focus in the last days in the war or Great Controversy between Christ and Satan. 

The last battle will concern whether the inhabitants of the Earth will obey the Commandments of God or to Obey the false sabbath day of worship that was installed by the Fallen Church who Jesus in the Book of Revelation in chapter 17:5 as” Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and the Abominations of the Earth”. This church system of Apostasy will be in charge of the world’s economic and material resources and people will not be able to buy or sell, unless they worship her. It will be required to worship to her dictates and not to the dictates of our own consciences. This Ecclesiatical and political power will be in charge of the world's economy and governments and will use governments and private businesses to enforce religion and worship in order to be given access to our basic necessities of food, clothing, shelter and employment. Without the Mark of the Beast and number of his name, you will not be able to buy or sell. But  the people who choose to obey God and His Jesus Christ and who are sealed by him, will be protected from this Satanic power and God will provide in miraculous ways for His people. Some of God’s people will face the penalty of death because of obedience to God. The book of Daniel in chapter 7 spoke of the very same beast power, and in verse 25, it states that this power will wear out the saints of the Most High and will think to change times and laws.

The signs and wonders in God’s Holy Book the Bible from Genesis are recorded as a textbook for God’s children, to teach us about God’s righteousness and what is expected of us through our lifestyle as his children of believers. If your pastor is not teaching and preparing you to be ready for the coming of the Lord and to be prepared for the events of the last days, you are most likely not in a Bible believing church. So, I invite you to read carefully with your Bible as your guide, preferably the King James Version of the Bible, to go through this journey with us. We will be going to the prophecies of the end times, just before Jesus the Messiah returns. One of the very important topics that every Christian should be aware of is the rise of a false prophet, false system of worship, a false Holy Day of worship and the rise of an Antichrist who will be Satan’s Emissary or representative on Earth.

The Roman Catholic Church is what remains of not only the vast Ancient Roman Empire, but is a continuation of the Holy Roman Empire that dominated some of the great industrial and political powers of Europe. The church’s influence was not only one that had ecclestical authority, but also one of vast political dominance and influence. This church is now not only recognized as the ultimate authority of religious opinion, but also as a sovereign nation that have ambassadors to foreign countries including the United States of America and the United Nations. It possesses vast economic, social and political power. 

But the ministers or priests of the church also have been involved in many criminal and questionable activities as a Christian church. This church has waged war on the christian believers and has killed believers whom it has called heretics and who oppose its teachings during the dark ages, when it banned the word of God to ordinary believers, and allowed the word of God, the Bible to be written only in Latin, the language of their clergy and the very affluent in their society. Some of those teachings such as praying to the dead saints, such as Peter and St. Jude. The worshiping of Mary the mother of Christ even though she’s deceased. 

Matthew 23:9,10

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 

The claim of being able to forgive sins through its priests and bishops and the selling of Indulgences for sins, past, present and those committed in the future are an abomination to the Lord.

1 Timothy 2:55 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[a] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

The Word of God, and the great protestant reformers like Martin Luther opposed these practices and taught that they were unscriptural. Great church reformers of the Protestant Reformation such as Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli, who opposed such teachings and were persecuted by the church as heretics. But what is important is that such teachings are not supported by the Bible. The Son of God Jesus Christ, who is also God the Son is our only mediator and we can only gain forgiveness of our sins through Christ our mediator and the only mediator through which we can gain forgiveness from God the father. In first Timothy 2:5 King in the James Version of the Bible, it states”, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; So with Christ as our sole mediator, we do not need a priest or bishop to forgive our sins, all we need is to get on our knees and pray directly to Jesus Christ and he’ll petition his Father to forgive us of all our sins. We do not and should never pray or confess our sins with intent to be forgiven by another man for the forgiveness of our sins, because in our lifetime alone we have learned that the priests of the catholic church as mere men just as any other men, due to their many sins of pedophilia that is widespread in their clergy that have swept the church around the world. It is so caustic, that these men who are ordained to forgive your sins are the men that forces children to commit sin with them through juvenile pedophilia. How sad. Be it known that the author of this ministry is in no way against the membership of the Roman Catholic religion. We should love our catholic brothers and sisters, but encourage them to come out of this system of Babylon. The book of Revelation warns us about this religion in chapter 18, verses three and four it states;  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, ``Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues``. Since we are living in the end of time we encourage you to seek after truth and to get ready for the return of Jesus Christ our soon coming King. He’ll not return as our sacrifice at his second coming, but for the resurrection of his saints and to conduct a judgmental hearing, to decide on those who are fit to inherit his glorious kingdom and those who are condemned to eternal damnation.

The Beast of Revelation 13 is identified as a  religious-political leader who causes the whole world to wonder after him. It describes him as a beast coming out of the sea. According to the Bible, the sea which consists of water is a symbol of people. Look at verse 1 of Revelation 13. It states; “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy”. (Verse1) 

So the Beast emerges from a populated area, which is symbolized as the sea.

Verse 2 said, “ And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority”.

Above in verse 2, the beast which is Leopard like, and has the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion is said to gain his power and authority from the dragon which is a symbol of Satan. So it is clear that this religious and political leader, though he appears to be very humble, holy and pius, is nothing but an emissary or representative of Satan.

Verse 3 said,  “And I saw one of his heads as it was wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast”. In verse 3, the prophet John the Revelator begins to go into greater details in identifying the beast. He wrote that the beast was wounded, but that the deadly wound that the beast received was healed. After the beast receives healing, the entire world begins to follow this beast, political leader and king in terms of his teaching and false doctrines. But in verse 3 it also said one of the beasts was wounded, but that this deadly wound was healed. What does this mean? How and when was this church and state leader and system, received a wound and when was it healed?

The Pope of Rome was taken into captivity and also died in imprisonment.  He was taken into captivity by one of Emperor Napoleon's Generals, a General named Berthier in the year 1798 who marched into Rome unopposed, and arrested Pope Pius VI, and took him into captivity where he died eighteen months later in Valence, France. His successor Pope Pius VII was prevented from taking his throne for a period of 5 years by Napoleon.

That was the only time the Roman Papacy ever received a deadly wound.  But that wound was healed when the Italian government restored the papacy to its original power and influence in the year 1814.

However, the church has experienced self inflicted wounds with the worldwide pedophilia scandal that has dogged its clergy at every level and even went close to involve the present Pope while he was a Cardinal in his birth country Argentina. Pope Francis has wasted no time since his coronation to repair the wounds of disrepute that have disgraced the catholic church. And he's succeeding because this denomination has returned to prominence even though there are still occasional accusations by members of pedophilia in its ranks. The participation of nuns, bishops and priests in the Rwandan Genocide was another incident that tarnished the image of the catholic church, for which Francis has apologized. 

It would appear that ever since the catholic church was established in the 4th century, it has faced one scandal or controversy after the other. The Church’s complicity with the Nazis of world war 2 with Hitler, and its hiding of Nazi criminals in South America and in monastries, have resurfaced to the embarrassment of the church  by historians who are also providing information of the churchs involvement in the slavery of Africans and profiting from it. These facts are to bring to the forefront in identifying the fallen church of Revelation 13 and 17, and the system of the beast which is under its manipulation and control. 

Verse 4 of Revelation 13 says, “And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?

So the majority of the world's population decided to worship the dragon, who is Satan, and also worshiped the Beast who is Satan’s representative. This great religious and political power which the beast will set up under the influence of Satan, will be so powerful and unmatched in terms of military and political power, that no other country, people or territory will be able to overthrow them. Hence, the prophet John wrote, “who is like unto the Beast? Who is able to make war with him?

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and then dwell in heaven. 

How will the Beast blaspheme the name of God? Well, one of the ways in which this beast system is blaspheming the name of God, is by claiming to be able to forgive sins through  its priests, bishops, cardinals and Popes. The Bible has started that you should refer to no man as a spiritual father except God. Man does not need a mediator to forgive his sins. Our only mediator between God the Father and us is only Jesus Christ according to the Bible. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.  In Hebrews chapter 4:14-15 it states, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin”. Hebrews 4:14-15. KJV

In verses 5 and 6 the prophet John wrote that this Beast was given the power to speak words of blasphemy against the true God of Heaven. It also identified the beast by calculating accurately, the time that this Beast Power and system had dominated the world for 42 months. In fact the 42 months is referring to a period of time that this great political and religious power ruled as a great world empire from the 4th Century A.D. to the early 19th Century. Because one day in prophecy is equal to one year, the 42 months equals 1260 prophetic days when multiplied, which is 1260 literal years. 

It's easy to understand in the following simple equation; 42 months=1260 days= 1260 years in prophecy, since  in prophecy 1 day is equal to 1 year. The Encyclopedia Britannica identified one world Empire that ruled for that same period of time. It was none other than the Holy Roman Empire that was ruled mostly indirectly from Rome. All Kings were appointed to rule that the Empire had to have the approval of the Pontiff of Rome and his Vatican before they could ever be crowned King. So the only world religious and political Empire that ruled the world for 1260 years was the Holy Roman Empire. According to the Britannica Encyclopedia; ”The Holy Roman Empire ruled over much of western and central Europe from the 9th century to the 19th century. It envisioned itself as a dominion for Christendom continuing in the tradition of the ancient Roman Empire and was characterized by strong papal authority”. (Barraclough, 1964-67)

7.  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Daniel 7:25 identifies a beast power exactly as the Holy Roman Empire, who will in the last days before the returning of Christ who will wear out God’s saints and persecute them for obedience to God’s Commandments. The Holy Roman Empire that ruled under the authority of the Pope of Rome persecuted protestant Christians during its very long reign, who they branded as heretics, because they preached against Catholic Doctrine and traditions. Protestant Christians believe in salvation by faith and not by works as traditional catholic teachings and for that they were persecuted and millions of them killed by the catholic church, using kings, armies and political authority to demand obedience to catholic doctrines. One of such doctrines of which the protestant martyrs like Martin Luther were opposed was the purchase of indulgences in order to receive forgiveness of sins. These key doctrines stirred up reformers like him. According to the First Amendment Encyclopedia online,”The Protestant Reformation, a religious movement that began in the sixteenth century, brought an end to the ecclesiastical unity of medieval Christianity in western Europe and profoundly reshaped the course of modern history. 

Sometimes called the Protestant revolution, the Reformation appealed to the founders of the United States, and some of its concepts of individualism and free expression of religion are incorporated into the First Amendment. The Reformation generally is recognized to have begun in 1517, when Martin Luther (1483–1546), a German monk and university professor, posted his ninety-five theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg (Germany).” (Harvey 2009. Para 1.)

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

In the time of the end when this beast power will be given back great authority by world rulers to form a one world religion in order for all nations to bow to this false church and its teachings, it is stated in verse 8 that all who dwell upon this earth will worship the beast, except the sains of God whose names are written in the book of life.

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

This leopardlike beast according to verse 12-17 of Revelation 13 tells of the Beast using the power Satan gives to him to do a lot of great miracles. So this period of Earth’s history will be one prominence for false prophets including the beast who will be doing great miracles and the world will be deceived by his show of miraculous healing which are really deceptions. This Beast will demand the worship of the world’s population in order for them to be able buy or sell the food and necessities they want to eat or use in their everyday lives. 

But what is truly terrible about this beast, is that he uses the governments of the world but primarily the United States to pass the death penalty on those who refuse to worship him or receive his mark of disobedience. Remember in Daniel 7:25 quoted above the beast thinks that he can change “times and laws”. This fallen Harlot of The Holy Roman Empire did attempt to change God’s law. God’s Law is his Ten Commandments, and a close look at the ten Commandments and the Catholic version of the commandments will show that the Sabbath Commandment which is God’s command to worship him on the seventh day, does not mention the seventh day in the Catholic version of the same Ten Commandments. The other commandment that is missing from the catholic version of God’s law is the law that forbids us to bow down and worship before idols, a common practice of catholics. That part of God's law is also missing in the Catholic version of the ten commandments. There is proof by the Catholic church by admission that its abominable act of changing God's true sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. And this is the way that the “solemnity” or holiness of the sabbath was transferred from saturday to sunday. 

THE ROMAN CHURCH'S ADMISSION OF CHANGING THE SABBATH

Q. What is the Third Commandment? ( Remember they renumbered! )
A. The third Commandment is: Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."
[ The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, 1951 printing, page 50. ]

So if you obtain a copy of the above book available at amazon.com you’ll be able to confirm for yourself.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 

The above crown was worn by the Pope of Rome at his coronation in 1963. The V in Vivarius in Latin is equal to the very same value as the U in lower case. A look at how the letters are calculated to their numeric equivalent is illustrated below. The crown has been concealed from the public by catholic officials because of their continuous denials that the popes titles is not Vicarius Filii Dei, yet above the papal tiara or crown does bear the inscription “Vicarius Filii Dei which equals the number of the Beast of Revelation 13, the mark of the beast, which is 666. 

Above a Catholic magazine “Our Sunday Visitor” printed in the early 1900’s also refers to the Pope’s title as “Vicarius Filii Dei”. But today the Church is denying that previous Popes have held that title. The church is rewriting its history in order to conceal many denigrating truths about it, and many activities that are even criminal in which the church is implicated. Pope Francis has vowed to rewrite church history in order to change public perception about his church. 

The title Vicarius Filii Dei in Roman numerals equals the number 666. Which is the number of the beast. The title of Vicarius Filii Dei is a title used by the Pope of Rome. He used this title even up to the 1940s. But now the Roman Catholic Church is denying that the previous Popes used that title, and have gone to great lengths to cover up the facts that that title was used by their pope. There are two titles that were commonly used by the Pope. It is Vicarius Christi and Vicarius Filii Dei. The latter name is the one that when added up as Roman numerals, equals to a total of 666. On the next page is a notarized letter signed by a church official at the Catholic University of America that expresses that fact that those are titles that have been used by their popes. 

Handwritten proof that Catholics use the title Vicarius Filii Dei to describe the Pope. This is a notarized page from 1943. Dr. Johannes Quasten of the Catholic University of America in Washington D. C. wrote, "The title Vicarius Filii Dei as well as the title Vicarius Christi is very common as the title for the Pope." 

“Vicarius Filii Dei”,The original name and title of the Pope of Rome.

What are some of the important points of the Beast power? One of the very strong marks of identification of the Beast is that he and his church system remains very much the same in terms of traditions, doctrines as it was at the time of the Holy Roman Empire that was dominated by the Papacy. Its practice of burning protestant christians to the stake as punishment for teachings that goes against the Roman Cathollic Church is also another of its ways that has not changed.. For this reason it is compared to a leopard in Revelation 13. According to Church and State online; “The Inquisition was an ecclesiastical court and process of the Roman Catholic Church setup for the purpose towards the discovery and punishment of heresy which wielded immense power and brutality in medieval and early modern times. The Inquisitions function was principally assembled to repress all heretics of rights, depriving them of their estate and assets which became subject to the ownership of the Catholic treasury, with each relentlessly sought to destroy anyone who spoke, or even thought differently to the Catholic Church ''. (Biblioteca Pleyades., nd.)

It is very important to note that the first beast of Revelation 13 appearance is like a leopard. But why did God reveal to his prophet a beast or ruler that is likened unto a leopard? It’s simple a leopard never changes, nor can it change it’s spots. The Bible itself said so. We do know that a leopard cannot and can never change its spots and so is the RC Church. It’s in the very same fallen state as the time of the Protestant Reformation and the Holy Roman Empire.

Beloved brethren a blessed day to you all and thank you for your continued viewership of this blessed channel, the Three Messenger’s Television Channel. My subject to you today is regarding the Holy Spirit and the perception that many preachers have about His working. Some Pastors like Mr. Gino Jennings have many times referred to the Holy Spirit as it. But the according to the Bible, the Holy Spirit is not an object that we receive when we are converted to the Lord. The Holy Spirit should not be referred to as it.

Sometimes he also refers to the Holy Spirit as He> But which one is it Mr. Jennings? Is it he or it? I know that the Holy Spirit is a person and should not be referred to as it. For there are those who believe that the Holy Spirit is just a force like the wind> On the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 the Holy Spirt manifest Himself and is compared to a mighty rushing wind, but is not a mighty rushing wind. Only a comparison was made here.

So though I respect this evangelist, and admire the passion with which he preach some of his fiery sermons, I do not believe that he should be referring to the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost as it. Throughout this particular sermon he was preaching on the subject of the Holy Spirit, he momentarily refers to the Holy Spirit as it, as if it is something that you can get if you are in line with the teachings of God and are converted, then God will give it to you.

So let us establish definitively whether the Holy Spirit is a person or just a gift or object.

Ephesians 4:30

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Can you grieve a thing?

 Let us look at Ephesians 4:30.

Before we go any further let us establish one very important thing and answer this question. Is God one person? Let’s see what the scriptures say.

Look at Genesis chapter one verses 25 and 26.

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So here we have established that God is not one person, God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit also referred to as the Holy Ghost in some verse of scripture. The Book of Genesis pointed to us that at the time of Creation, God said let US make man in OUR own image and after our likeness.  

It states “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption”. You cannot grieve an object, but you can only grieve a person. So the Holy Spirit is definitely a person. Another very important I would like to establish with you today, is whether the Holy Spirit is Jesus or a separate person? Are they the same person? No, they cannot be the same person if Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit as the Comforter and to guide us into all truth. Please look at John 16:13 to establish this. Also look at John 14:26. It states:

²⁶ But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you..

The mentioned verses establish that Jesus, His father and the Holy Spirit are three separate persons but untied in purpose. The word purpose is the word of substance, since the Son of God Jesus Christ is a reflection or example to us of who the Father truly is and the Holy Spirit opens our understanding of the word of God to us. They are separate persons, but has one object, which is the salvation of men

But is the Holy Spirit an object or is he a person? Pastor Jennings you should quit referring to the Holy Spirit as it. As the Bible rightly stated,

^{John 16:13-15}

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

When Jesus states that I and my Father are one what does it mean? When he said he that have seen me have seen the Father. What does it mean? My intent today is to make it clear to you my viewers that Jesus and the Father and the Holy are not the same persons, but are united in purpose.

John 6:38-40

King James Version

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

^{MATT CHAPTER 3}

¹⁶ And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

¹⁷ And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

John chapter 14:8-12

⁸ Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

The Bible has made it very clear that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are separate persons but united as one in purpose. Just as Jesus said I and my father are one. But it does not mean that Jesus is the Father, but I believe that Jesus was a reflection in the flesh of who the Father truly is. Jesus represents His father while here on earth to show us the character of God the Father, but Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are separate persons but one in purpose. There are some instances where the bible differentiates, that God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are separate persons. One was at Jesus’s baptism and the other was at creation

Now Mr. Jennings went into Acts chapter 2 and he spoke about the cloven tongues that the Apostles spoke, of different languages that people heard spoken by the listeners surrounding that event where all the people from many different places in the world were able to hear speeches made by the apostles in their own languages. The Apostles did not just get up and start to speak in unknown language. They received an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, so that people gathered from different nations could hear it in their own language. The apostles were not there and just got up babbling in unknown tongues as have been done in many so-called Holy Ghost churches nowadays.

When we speak about the Almighty God, are we speaking about Jesus alone? Or are we speaking about Jesus and His Father? What does Jesus mean when he said, “He that have seen me have He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.

I’ve seen enough evidence that Jesus is our Father, but he also a reflection of His Father who we know as God the Father.

^{1John 5 verse 7, 8}

⁷ For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

⁸ And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

John Chapter 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Since he also with his father and the Holy Spirit created Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, John chapter one verses one to four establishes that God is not one person. God is three persons united as one in purpose.

^{GENESIS CHAPTER 1 VERSES 25 AND 26.}

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

MATTHEW CHAPTER 3:16 AND 17

Three Persons who are God.

¹⁶ And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

¹⁷ And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

John 14:8-10

King James Version

⁸ Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

There is a lot of misappropriation of scriptures that is done among many denominations, and another of them is to preach that in order to be born of the Holy Spirit you must speak in tongues and that speaking in tongues mysteriously without being taught an unknown tongue is evidence of being filled by the Holy Spirit. Is that true. How is speaking in tongues ranked among the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

I CORINTHIANS 12 STATES.

⁶ And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

⁹ To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

Another important scripture to bear is:

1 Corinthians 13

King James Version

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

⁴ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁷ Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸ Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1 Corinthians 14 verses 18-19

18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

1 Corinthians 14

• Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

² For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

³ But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

⁴ He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

⁵ I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

1 Corinthians 14

King James Version

14 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
