The Glorious Light of God's Message To Mankind - PART 139

Jesus is the light of the world. Whosoever follows Jesus shall not walk in darkness. No man can come to the Father except through Jesus. All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and, whoever comes to me shall never perish. For I shall give to them the gift, of eternal life. No man shall pluck those who come to me out of my hand, for I am able, to keep them from falling, and to present them as faultless.

The glorious light of God’s message to mankind has never been extinguished, although at times many have strived to snub the gospel message. History records that when the satanic hordes endeavoured to persecute God’s believers, it could be compared to fanning a spark with a wind where possibly only a feeble spark existed. The spark then turns into an inferno, like a wildfire jumping from tree to tree covering vast expanses of landscape. In a comparative context, believers sometimes become complacent sitting so to speak like bumps on a log, until, the axe man arrives applying the axe to the root of the tree.

When the scripture were translated into the working language of the general populace, it was as if someone had lit a match in a very dark room. We all know what happens when one lights a match in a room without light. Well, that dark room was the world that had, because of religious demonic spirits. been brought into darkness. And, as a consequence, he populace fell into gross darkness.

There was a time when priests were thicker than black flies in Europe, remaining determined to oppose the translation of the Word of light that was now being attempted to be placed into the hands of the populace. Instead, as historical records have portrayed, the light of the Word of God was revealling what the seated, entrenched religious system of erroneous contradictions had been stating. However, the written and revealed scriptural truths embedded in the recorded Word began to administer a deathly blow to their establishment.

Of course, these religious organizations countered with their alternative translations, complete with footnotes, adding that their institution, the so called asserted church were the only ones capable of interpreting the scripture. We recognize now that this was simply nonsense. For to infer this notion would mean that people were totally inept at translating.

However, by delivering messages in Latin, these religious leaders were asserting that the so called church had a handle on it. Again, as we now know the scripture states, that if any one speaks in an unknown tongue, (ie. a tongue foreign to the local assembly) then they would be as barbarian to God, and likewise, God to them. Eventually, as we know from history, King James authorised that the scriptures be translated into the language of the people. ie. the English Language. The king in so doing endeavoured to unify Bible translations which seem to be causing dissension or sects, rather than unifying the populace.

Today, the same issue has arisen again. Here we are in the 21st century with so many translations that once again we have dissension. No one is on the same page nor are we all on the same verse. This inability to consult the scriptures is resulting in confusion, particularly among sectors of the populace that have not aquainted themselves with the Bible.

This situation has the demons of Hell jumping for joy because the demons prefer that we believers are not be on any page. Still, Jesus plainly said to all those who want to believe, that they must be born again - of water and Spirit. This is the continuing gospel message that remains paramount throughout history. The first 3000 believers, as outlined in Acts chapter 2 were told to repent and be baptised into the Name of Jesus for the remission of sin. And because of their obedience to the Holy Spirit Words spoken through the mouths of the twelve equal apostles, they received the Promised Holy Spirit of Jesus to indwell them, adopting them, into the family of God.
