RELIGIOUS DISTORTIONS OF GOD’S MESSAGE IS THE REAL CAUSE OF TODAY’S RELIGIOUS WARS

August 14, 2014

The written Word of God in the book we call the ‘Bible’ is the foundation of the three major monotheistic religions in the world. These religions are Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

We may observe that even though these said religions base their teachings about God on the same book, their interpretations are in conflict with each other. Each one preaches that they are the one true religion established by God and not the other.

These religions’ disagreement with each other caused the bloodiest conflicts in mankind’s history.  That seed of conflict is still the cause of today’s violence, especially in the Middle East.

It will not take long that this religious conflict will be a global war and it is not just humans who will suffer but also the environment because nuclear weapons will be used.

Because of what is currently happening, we may ask: if the Bible contains the written word of the righteous God who exists, why do such bloodshed occur and has occurred among His believers?

Some groups of people (who call themselves “Atheists”) perceive such cycle of misunderstanding and conflict between religions as a proof that the Biblical God does not exist at all and that the Bible is only a book of myths written by men to control the masses.

To prove their point that the Bible is a mythical book, Atheists cite the story of "creation” in the book of Genesis about Adam and Eve being the first humans on earth.  This claim is absurd because Science had shown us the remains of prehistoric men dated millions of years ago. If Adam and Eve were the first humans then where did those prehistoric men came from?

Though Atheists have a point in the said argument, it only resulted in other debates and disagreements with religious preachers. The cycle of conflict did not end, but became worse.

With the debates and conflicts that had arisen out of the Bible among its believers and non-believers, you (the reader), may think that there is no more hope for mankind to attain true oneness and solidarity.  But we should not lose hope. This article will show the whole world the way to end the cycle of conflict between the followers of religions; between those who believe and those who do not believe in the Biblical God.  How? By showing the truth that the real God truly exists and how the religions’ misinterpretation of the scriptures caused the conflicts and divisions that are happening today.

Please be advised that this Bible revelation is not promulgated to promote a new religion but simply to enlighten the readers.  The readers must use credible thinking and common sense. Whether the reader accepts it or not is his or her own decision. What is important is we have shared with you this revelation.

Let us now begin:

What the whole world does not know is that the Biblical God (whose Name was NEVER Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Jesus or YHWH) gave a statement long before on how we can truly understand His word in the scriptures. Had people understood such reminder by God, these conflicts would never have occurred.

What did God say before?

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.

Deuteronomy 18:18-19 (NIV)

God has said before in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, about the ONE prophet whom He will send like Moses, and in whose mouth He will place His words (meaning the chosen one will not study the Bible on his own nor will he study ancient languages as God Himself will instruct him about His words) and the prophet will speak in His Name or reveal His (God’s) Name.

This purports that when it comes to the word of God, especially His Name –we should not consult anybody about it because there is only ONE man who was given full authority by

God to speak about it. 

This is the ‘prophet like Moses’ whom God spoke about in Deuteronomy 18:18-19!

People were led to believe by the religions, especially Christianity, that to truly understand the scriptures, one must have an academic degree in Theology.  If we open our eyes to what God said “I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.”- We can understand that in order for a person to explain the word of God in the scriptures, exactly as God meant it, that person’s explanation must come solely from God and not from his own personal opinion or academic study of the scriptures.

This is why God said: "If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account” - what the prophet speaks about God is not his own interpretation or study but was given directly by God Himself.

Had we given thought to what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and heeded it, we would have not allowed ourselves to be duped in joining these religions. Without their followers or members, religions would not have flourished and prosper.  All of humanity would have never been divided and be in conflict with one another. From their own doctrines we can easily discern that the individuals that the religions claimed (Christians – Jesus; Islam-Muhammad) as the ‘prophet like Moses’ do not qualify to what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19.

How do we know this?  Take note of what God said in Deuteronomy 18:19:

If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet

speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.

Deuteronomy 18:19 NIV

“If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in MY NAME,”- God said that He will call into account anyone who will not listen to His words that His prophet like Moses will speak in His Name.

Since the prophet will come to speak in the Name of God, it means that God had sent him to enlighten us about His true Name.

Once the people know the true Name of God as revealed by the prophet like Moses, what will happen?

This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver

and test them like gold. They will call on my name

and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’

and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’” 

Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)

“They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,' and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’”-God did not just say that He will answer those who call on His Name. He also stated another privilege to those who will call on His real Name and that is to be one of His people or to be an Israelite.

If the real Name of God was made known by any of the monotheistic religions, they would not even identify themselves as a Christian, Muslim or Jew, but as an “Israelite”.  (The word “Jew” came from the name “Judah”, one of the twelve sons of Jacob who was given by God the name Israel).  We could have been ONE PEOPLE UNDER GOD with no religious division to begin with.

If God will consider those who call on His Name as His people, what will happen to the nations whose people will unite in revering the real name of God?

"Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. 

I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.

Zechariah 2:11 NIV

"Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people”. – This was the God’s real intention all this time- to unite us all to be His people Israel through His Name. This great accord and unison did not happen through the fallacious teachings about God of both Jesus and Muhammad.

Instead of unity and peace, the teachings of these two individuals divided mankind against each other.  It is therefore evident that none of them was the “prophet like Moses” whom God had sent to speak about His real Name.

Mankind failed to discern and perceive that neither Jesus nor Muhammad is the “real prophet like Moses”, and followed their teachings.  In effect, humanity disregarded what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19to listen only to His real prophet like Moses.

Because of such disobedience, what was the consequence?

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse - the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (NIV)

“the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God” - Because we failed to obey God’s command in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, we had suffered His curse.

How do we know that we are suffering under God’s curse? What are the signs?

If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name - the LORD your God - the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.  He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you.  The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

Deuteronomy 28:58-61 (NIV)

God Himself has warned that the events, the plagues, which happened during the time of Moses in Egypt, will happen again.  The spread of the virulent viruses and plagues; like, Ebola, Corona virus, Bird Flu, and destructive hurricane, earthquakes, unusual winter storms which were not experienced in the time of Moses, are signs that the world is truly cursed by God.

Why?  Because we do not revere His true Name; failed to obey His commandments especially His word in Deuteronomy 18:18-19; and listened to those who falsely claimed that they are the ‘prophet like Moses’

This also answers the question of the 'freethinkers' or Atheists as to why God allows such evil and destruction to happen to the world. It is not because He is non-existent. It is because we are living under His curse as we followed the teachings of those who falsely claimed that they are the ‘prophet like Moses’ and on the false names and doctrines they made up for God.

Since Jesus or Muhammad is not the ‘prophet like Moses’, who is the prophet spoken of by God?

This prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 has now come to fruition in the person of Maestro (Teacher) Eraño Martin Evangelista of the websites: www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info

In the above-mentioned websites, he has already revealed God's message, most especially God’s true Name and the real Jesus as written in the Bible, (not from his personal interpretation but) according to what was revealed to him by God IN the Bible.

Therefore what you will read in this article is the very message that God had put into the mouth of His last prophet and thus not out of his prophet's own Bible research.

Since the word of God in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 regarding a ‘prophet like Moses’ was fulfilled through (Maestro) Eraño M. Evangelista, it logically follows that the Biblical God truly exists and is now making His real message known to all mankind.

The emergence of the ‘real prophet like Moses' signifies the end of ALL religious debates because God made it clear that it is He Himself who put His words in His prophet’s mouth.  God puts the exact explanation of His words in the mouth of His chosen one, (which we can also read in the Bible) and therefore the one that all people should listen to concerning His words.

To listen to those theologians who studied God’s word is to listen to those who put their own meaning into what God said thus, defying God.

The truth is, had these so-called Theologians truly understood what God said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, they should have told everyone to wait for the prophet who bears the sign even if it takes a long time for him to come.  They should not have added their own interpretations and explanations to the revelations of the Biblical prophets and God written in the Holy Bible.  The people would have not been divided in preaching the Holy Book.

Now that the word of God about a prophet like Moses has now been fulfilled (in our time) in the person of Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista, we may now begin to understand that the word of God in the Bible, beginning from the book of Genesis, was never in conflict with today’s reality.

People who call themselves “Atheists” claim that the Bible is a fairy tale book because it says according to them that the first created humans were Adam and Eve which does not correspond with today’s scientific findings and most of all, logic- because how can one pair of humans (Adam and Eve) able to give birth to different races?

This teaching is now very difficult to be accepted by today’s modern thinking generation and this is why they regard the Bible as a myth because how can all the different races of people of the whole earth come from a single pair of humans (Adam and Eve) as religions preach?

If we ask the prophet like Moses, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, he says that Adam is not God’s first creation in the Bible.

Maestro Evangelista explains it plainly; he tells us that God did have two creations.  We will now share with you what God had revealed to him in the Bible concerning the book of Genesis:

Let us read the story of Creation:

So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and

moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds,

and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:21 (NIV)

It is true that God created the animals before man.

God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number

and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

Genesis 1:22 (NIV)

God only told them to multiply, there was no covenant given to them.

What day was it?

And there was evening, and there was morning - the fifth day.

Genesis 1:23 (NIV) 

What did God do next?

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:26-27 (NIV)

"Let us make man in our image" - God created man, "male and female,” at the same time. In this context, the word "man" is to be understood as ‘man in general’ - that is why it was written "male and female he created them".  How many pairs were created, it was not mentioned.

Think about it, you may notice that there are different species of marine and animal life in different parts of the world. For example, you cannot find penguins in the Philippines; such kind of bird species live in Antarctica or other cold areas.  The Philippine Carabao cannot be found in Britain and other European countries. Maestro Evangelista explains that the same is also what God had done in creating man, He created not one pair but many pairs of humans in various areas of the world. 

"God created man in his own image" – In what likeness are we created by God?

As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;

when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Psalm 17:15 NIV    

In another version:

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;

I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Psalm 17:15 NKJV

As written above, in God’s likeness means to be in accord with God’s righteousness. Maestro Evangelista explains that God created man to be in His image, not in physical form (as we cannot see God – Exodus33:20) BUT to be in ACCORD with His righteousness.

God created us in His image and likeness so that we can be righteous LIKE HIM.

This also indicates that there are no other living beings in other planets, for it is man (male and female) alone and no other being, whom God (the creator of the universe - the heavens and the earth), had created in HIS image and likeness.

However, to be truly righteous or intelligent like God we must not only have wisdom:

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get UNDERSTANDING” (caps ours)

Proverbs 4:7 NIV

Maestro Evangelista explains: for man to be in God’s likeness (in righteousness) or to be truly intelligent like God man should worship God in WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING and not BLIND FAITH as taught by the religions.

Let us return to what God said in:

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Genesis 1:26 NIV

"Let us make man in our image"– Who does God speak with when He was doing His creation.

Religions claim that God was talking to Jesus, who they claim as God’s so-called begotten Son. However, using wisdom and understanding, we can say that such a claim by the religions is illogical because Jesus was not yet born at this point of time.

This will no longer be debatable as God has shown Maestro Evangelista (in the scriptures), who He was with when He did His creation?

Let us read in:

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 

Job 38:4-5 NIV

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand” - God speaks here to His servant Job. The same question goes to the present religious preachers and Bible “scholars” who spew out words and lectures about God especially about His creation-as if they were there when God created the heavens and the Earth.

They insisted that Adam and Eve are God’s first created humans without first giving thought if their understanding of what was written is exactly what God has in mind.  They did not take caution to understand why God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 that He is the one who put His words in His chosen one’s mouth and why God gave a reminder that He will punish those who will not listen to His last prophet.

Look at what had happened when they added their explanations to what God said – the world became divided against each other and doubted God’s word in the Bible.

Who was God with when He created the world?

On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone – 

while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? 

Job 38:6-7 NIV

“while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? “- God was not speaking to Jesus during His creation as absurdly as religions claim, God was referring to His angels.

Through this revelation that God commanded His prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista, to show us in the Bible, we can comprehend that God tells us that what the apostles had testified and written about Jesus in their “New testament” is not entirely true. We will delve into that matter later.

To continue:

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number;

fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of

the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 1:28 (NIV)

"God blessed them” – them, more than one. Maestro says in this event of creation, Adam was not yet created. God is referring here to His first created humans.

"Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth" - They were only told to multiply, no covenant and no promise from God, similar with the animals.

"subdue it" - they were only reminded to subdue or to control the growth of their population, so that the land or the environment can sustain them.

"Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

When God said man’s role is to rule over the animals, does this mean to eat them too?

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 

Genesis 1:29 NIV

No, we are not. This means that all this time, God already gave a guideline on what we should eat.  Our food is every seed-bearing plant, i.e., to eat fruit and vegetables. This means that we are to rule over the animals.   God did not include that we can eat the animals.

Why did God create the animals?

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.

Job 12:7-8

Did it say that we should eat their kind?  No!   That we should only learn from them.

The theory of flight, we got them from the birds; the design of ships and submarine, we got it from the fish, and we have developed many new and better technologies that were copied, in a way, from animals. Even vaccines, before we use them on humans, are first tested on animals.

We have made or invented many devices or systems taken from animals.

We learned from nature planting or farming the land, as well as the fish, we made boats, ships and submarines to travel above and beneath the waters.

This was what God had in mind when He said in Genesis 1:28 that we are to “rule” over the animals, fishes and birds and over every living creature.

What’s ironic here is we KILLED and ate the creatures whose purpose was to be our guide in creating technologies and understanding nature.

Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?

In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

Job 12:9-10

“Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?”– Because many people do not know why God created the animals, the birds, insects, and every marine creature.

“In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” - God wants us to understand that just like human life is valuable to him, so does the life of each animal. They are very important to God.

Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? ¹³ "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. 

Job 12:11-13NIV

“To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.”  –True understanding about the word of God especially about His creation may only come from God.  For us to know it, we should listen to the one in whose mouth God has put the explanation of His words- His last prophet sent forth like Moses.

How about the animals, did God meant them to kill each other for food?

And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and

all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has

the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Genesis 1:30                     

The animals were not meant by God to eat their kind. Just like us humans, God meant them too to eat fruits and vegetables.

WE MAY NOW UNDERSTAND why God said we are to “rule over” the animals-not to eat them but rather to train them to eat fruits and vegetables.

When we are successful in doing this, what will happen to our world? It will be like Paradise on Earth!

All this time, what God wants us to do is make paradise here on this earth, not to wait for a paradise in the fictitious afterlife made up by the religions!

As for training the animals to eat plants as food - this is now possible because we may see in YouTube^TM and in Science TV channels that wild animals can be trained not to eat their kind and eat only plants. We can also see that wild animals like lions can be friendly to humans.

It is very clear that only “seed-bearing plant” and “tree that has fruit with seed in it” will be our food.

We thought that the possibility of animals and man living with each other can be attained in the “afterlife in heaven” as religions preach.  In reality, as we can read, God himself told us that we should apply it HERE on this earth as our role is to rule over and learn from the animals, and train them to eat plants.

Now, it is well-defined and clear for us that God’s word can only be understood in our present time because only in our present era, can we grasp that God created us in His image and likeness.  We can also create things through Science, just like He did.

 How did God make His creation? Is it through Mystery and magic?

But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

Jeremiah 10:12-13 NIV

“But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.” – The power that God used in His creation was through His wisdom and understanding, through SCIENCE and not magic.

“When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.” - Here is an example of how God made His creation through Science. 

Scientists (Meteorologists) can now explain the process of how rain occurs.

Now that we have realized (through His real prophet like Moses) that God created everything using wisdom and understanding and not through mystery as religions preach, what will we realize next?

Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.

His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them. 

Jeremiah 10:14 NIV

It is now evident that the doctrines which the religions preach are of their own making and not from God.  Even though they have academic degrees in what they pathetically call “Theology”, the more they show that they are SENSELESS because the teachings they made about God is out of their own interpretation of the scriptures. God is not the one who put His words in the mouths of these theologians.

What is more SENSELESS than to make humanity worship and revere a man who was spit upon, mocked, beaten, brutally flogged and crucified and even cried out he was forsaken by God?

Let us return to the book of Genesis:

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. 

And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.

Genesis 1:31 NIV

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” – Why is it good? Why did God create us on this planet we call Earth?

For this is what the Lord says - he who created the heavens,

he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth,

he founded it; he did not create it to be empty,

but formed it to BE INHABITED -

he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.”

Isaiah 45:18 NIV

“he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to BE INHABITED” - God created the planet we live in to be inhabited. He created all that’s necessary for our planet Earth to sustain life and this is why He said His creation was good. Even before He created animals and us humans, He had already provided for our basic needs. God gave us air to breathe, water to drink and cleanse ourselves with, and most importantly fruits and vegetables for us to eat. Truly, God did not create the earth to be empty.

Take note however that in the creation of man in Genesis 1:27-28, Adam and Eve were not created yet. This means that there is a first generation of humans that God had created before Adam and Eve!

The humans that God created which were written about in the first chapter of Genesis are what Science calls Prehistoric humans whose skeletal remains were dated more than several million years ago.  These Prehistoric humans were anatomically different than today’s thinking man (Homo Sapiens).

For a long time the religions indoctrinated humanity with the literal interpretation that Adam and Eve were God’s first created humans. This interpretation by the religions became the cause of the long time conflict between science and the word of God in the scriptures.

This does not mean that these Scientists who argued against God’s word have no fault either. Had they heed what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19(to listen only to His prophet like Moses) and not listened to the self-interpretation of religions, they would not have questioned God’s word but rather waited on the promised prophet.

Long ago, God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 that people should only listen to His real prophet like Moses when it comes to His words, because it is God himself who will guide the said prophet on how he will explain His word that were written before by His former prophets. The problem is that people listened to the ones who personally studied and interpreted the Bible on their own.

Let us read again the final verse in the first chapter of Genesis:

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. 

And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.

Genesis 1:31 NIV

This was the sixth day or sixth PHASE of His creation.

And on the seventh day, did God continue to create others things?

The religions claimed that after the “seventh day,” God did not create anymore- their claim is the proof that their way of teaching the Bible is based only on their own understanding and not from God.

Maestro Evangelista says: to be certain, let us read more.  Remember Adam and Eve were not yet created.

At this time, the population of the people created during the sixth day was growing.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing;

so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested

from all the work of creating that he had done.

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens -

Genesis 2:1 -4 (NIV)         

On the seventh day God rested from the work he had done, the time of the first creation had ended.

“God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done” - He was the first to observe His own decree.

Maestro Evangelista explains- If God Himself rested after His work, how much more for man?

This is why the Sabbath or day of rest is important for all peoples to observe because only through devoting ourselves to rest a whole day, our bodies rejuvenate itself and our health will be improved.

Again, about the first creation:      

Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says that the first creation is the humans that lived in other parts of the planet.

Think about it- If we really came from one pair, Adam and Eve, why are there Blacks, Whites, Asians, and other colored people in different places of the world?

How can religions explain the findings of archaeologists of the remains of primitive people that were different in physical appearance or looks of the anatomically modern humans if God created one pair of humans called Adam and Eve?

These findings support the fact that God indeed created other people long before Adam and Eve were created.

The humans created on the sixth day or sixth phase are considered by God as his "first creation" or the ‘Gentiles’.

After the first created humans, God again made a special creation, in a different place.

Let us read:

and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no

plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not

sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground,

Genesis 2:5 (NIV)

"no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up" - the place somewhere in the Middle East, the desert.  It describes the absence of trees and plants. Does this bareness pertain to the state of the whole world then?

 Maestro says no, because the plants were already created during the time of Creation. Is it true?

Let us read in:

Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:11-12 (NIV)

God created the plants and the trees to be food for the animals. You will see God's great design, how will the animals survive if there were no plants for them to feed on?

When was that?

And there was evening, and there was morning - the third day.                                                      

Genesis 1:13 (NIV)

If God first created the animals and man, without creating plants and seed bearing fruits for food, they will not live or be able to survive.

Let us return to:

and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the

field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth

and there was no man to work the ground,

Genesis 2:5 (NIV)

"on the earth" - the place in the Middle East, the desert. This bareness only describes the state of the land in the Middle East.

"no man to work the ground" - there is not yet an intelligent man to cultivate and plant the fields. The people of the first creation, though they are already multiplying, were primitive and still food gatherers. They just pick the food they eat from the bushes and from the ground.

but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground-

Genesis 2:6 (NIV)

God made water flow through the land to make it sustainable – irrigation technology is being introduced and what happened next?

the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed

into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 2:7 (NIV)

"formed the man from the dust of the ground" - You will notice that God is creating again, the  creation of a man after the Seventh day – the man was created alone, without a pair. He was a special creation of God, in the second creation.

How special was the "man?"

Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east,

in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.

Genesis 2:8 (NIV)

You may notice in this account that the man was created after He created the garden in Eden, which is different from the first creation in (Genesis Chapter 1) where God first created the plants and trees before man and animals.

This means that Adam –the second creation, was created by God outside and not inside the garden and his food was from the vegetation already created by God during the first creation.

To continue:

And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:9 (NIV)

"the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground" - this was another of God's special creations, what kind?

"trees that were pleasing to the eye" - these are ornamental trees.

"good for food" - the fruit bearing trees. This is consistent with what God said in His first creation that man and animals should only eat fruits and vegetables.

"tree of life" and "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" - meaning when the special “man” was placed in the Garden he alone had some kind of knowledge and intelligence which sets him apart from the people of the "first creation." He can distinguish what is beneficial and what is not.

How rich was the land prepared for that man?

A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

Genesis 2:10-14 (NIV)

Meaning, the garden was bountiful and full of resources.

"A river watering the garden flowed from Eden" - the garden has a system of canals, an irrigation system of sorts.

In His creation of the Garden in Eden, He gave us a lesson here. God situated the garden where the water can flow freely from the land to the rivers. He did not create the garden in a place where it will block the flow of water from the river. Otherwise it will be flooded when the water in the river overflows once it rains.

Maestro Evangelista says that we should keep in mind that our planet is composed of more water than land. Therefore in the modernization of our cities, he says that let us follow God’s example to prioritize water passages to prevent flooding.

"The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there" - that the Garden was abundant with natural resources. It is only intended for the man in the Garden.

God is the one who created these metals and minerals and we in turn had utilized them using the creative intelligence He had given us to create better homes, technologies for ourselves to make life easier for us and for our fellow men. 

Does this mean that we can abuse the environment in order to make such technologies?

The LORD God took the man and put him in

the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

Genesis 2:15 (NIV)

“to work it and take care of it.”-The man was placed in the garden, and had been given all that he would need and to maintain it and cultivate it.                                                                                                                                     

This is also the essence of man’s duty here on earth- to take care and cultivate it, not pollute and abuse its natural resources.

Is this true? Let us read in:

The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the Lord. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.

Leviticus 25:1-7 NIV     

“The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,”- God spoke about this decree to the prophet Moses:

“For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.”- We can read that just as God commanded man not to work but only rest on the seventh day, (Deuteronomy 5:12-14). He also commanded man to not to gather crops on the seventh year so that the land can rest and replenish itself as well. Here God implies that just as man can recharge his own body by resting, so does the land in order for the soil to recharge itself. This also means that we should not abuse our environment! 

We can understand that the observation of God’s Sabbath has a very great impact not only on ourselves but on the whole planet Earth.  By giving a decree about a Sabbath for the land, it means that from the very beginning God had not fail to give us a reminder on how to take care of our environment and not abuse it. 

This creation in Genesis, Chapter 2 is a different "creation" from the first 7 days of creation. The religions never taught or even knew about these two creations in the Holy Bible.

The people of the world are not aware of this true teaching. They believed the story of the religions – that Adam and Eve were the first to be created by God. The religions taught and propagated their Bible teachings in a fictitious and fabricated way from beginning to date.

Going back to:

And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV)

"the man" – was given a commandment. He is the only one living in the Garden; he is different from the people created on the sixth day of Creation. They are living outside of the Garden of Eden.

 Is it true?

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 1:28(NIV)

Maestro Evangelista says: God gave a commandment in Genesis 2:16-17 for the "man" - Adam. The decree is from God to Adam only, one on one.

This one on one relationship between God and Adam is what God wants us to have with Him. God wants each one of us to have an individual and DIRECT relationship with Him.

The commandment that God gave Adam is what separates him from the people of the "first creation," he has a commandment and they didn’t have any. Adam was given by God a law to follow which indicates that God gave him the ability to think for himself.

How do we know that Adam is not part of the first creation?

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

Genesis 2:18-20 (NIV)

He started to give names, meaning his intelligence and knowledge is increasing. God saw the man was still alone...

"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."- Here God shows us that he created the animals and birds to be our guide and helpers at the same time.

How can man plow the fields if there were no oxen to help? Can man have the idea of Chariots without horses? It is now so clear that the animals were created by God to be our helpers.

Here we can see that this story of Adam is truly about God’s second creation because in God’s first creation, the animals were created (Genesis 1:21-25) first before the first men and women. (Genesis 1:26-28) In the second creation, God first created the man who was named Adam, (Genesis 2:7) before the animals. (Genesis 2:18-20).

This purports that the animals that were created by God in the first creation were not the same animals that were created in the second creation. This corresponds with what we see in reality in nature because different kinds of animals live in different parts of the world.

Also, we can read that in the second creation, Adam was created ALONE, then the animals but no woman yet- which is different from the first creation where the animals were created by God first then the first humans, male and female at the same time.

Let us continue our reading:

So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he

was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

Genesis 2:21 (NIV)

"a deep sleep" - this passage can only be explained and understood in our present generation. The man was sedated, as he is prepared for a procedure that is similar during surgical operations in our time!

Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had

taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Genesis 2:22 (NIV)

The woman was created. This was another of God's special creations, unlike in the time of the 7 day Creation in Genesis Chapter 1; “male and female” were created at the same time.

Maestro Evangelista says: This is the revelation that God created the man, which we call Adam, and the woman, called Eve, to be apart from the first people of the world. We are fortunate as our present generation is the living witnesses regarding this revelation.  Others who came before us never knew about it.

You may also notice that God created the woman out of Adam. This is not mystery but Science. God demonstrates to us the science of cloning.

Adam was created separately and thus special to God.  He (Adam) is special to God in the sense that He was created by God for a certain purpose.  That is, to be His example to the other created humans of being a righteous man.

Should Adam be able to heed faithfully what God had commanded (not to eat the forbidden fruit) , the neighboring peoples around him (the first created humans) will see that he is living a progressive and bountiful life because he is faithful to what God had commanded.  They may emulate his example and will also worship the true God. Thus, through Adam’s example, mankind will truly be in God’s image of righteousness.

To differentiate the First Creation from the Second or Special Creation, let us continue our reading:

Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.

She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she

gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.

Genesis 4:1-2 (NIV)

After Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, they settled at the place where Adam was taken from. This was a time when the number or population of the people of the First Creation has increased.

They had two sons, Cain and Abel.

Let us read here:

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.

Genesis 4:8-10 (NIV)

“Where is your brother Abel?"- God knew Cain murdered Abel.  He was giving Cain a chance to speak the truth and admit to him his fault.

“The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground” - It is not Abel who cries but his blood. God speaks symbolically here. This means Cain’s crime was not hidden from God.

What was Cain’s punishment?

Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."

Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

Genesis 4:11-14 (NIV)

“Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground,”- Cain was under God’s curse

"whoever finds me will kill me" - if we are to follow the teachings of the religions that Adam and Eve were the first people in the world, who will kill Cain, his father and his mother?

As mentioned, "whoever" - anyone or anybody that is alive then. Cain is referring to the other people who were living during his time. He does not speak about a family relative who will kill him. This rejects the argument of some Christians that Cain married his own relative.  It is now very clear that Cain did not marry his sister as the religions preach.

What did God do to him?

But the LORD said to him, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

Genesis 4:15-16 (NIV)

“if anyone kills Cain” – indeed, God Himself confirms there were other people aside from Adam’s family in their time. This pertains to the Gentiles who were created in the first phase of creation.  It does not refer to Adam and Eve or their future descendants.

"the LORD put a mark on Cain" - here again the promise of God to Adam is given again to his descendant.

When Cain settled in the land of Nod, what happened?

Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

Genesis 4:17-18 (NIV)

Where did the wife of Cain come from? The priest, pastors and ministers gave the answer long ago: It was his sister, born from his mother Eve! They added that Adam and Eve had a daughter after Cain and Abel.

Would it mean that the religions tell us that Cain committed incest?

To prove if the religions’ teaching regarding this matter is true or not, let us read the Holy Bible regarding the third child of Adam and Eve. Who was the third child of Adam and Eve? Did they have a daughter after Cain and Abel?

Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him."

Genesis 4:25 (NIV)

The next child was also a son!  The religions are wrong!  They have again enhanced the teachings in the Holy Bible.  So, it would only mean that during Adam and Eve's time, there were plenty of people living about in the world, though they are not that numerous as today.

What other Biblical story will be clarified now that we have known the truth that Adam and Eve was not God’s first created humans?

This is the story of Noah and the great flood. Let us begin our reading in:

So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 

Genesis 6:13 NIV

"I am going to put an end to all people” - This no longer means that God destroyed the entire planet Earth with a flood. This event during Noah’s time happened only in the Middle East region. The ‘people” mentioned here are those who are living in that region, not the whole world.

Here is reality: we have seen on TV and the Internet about storms happening in different countries.  For Example, when a great typhoon or superstorm named Haiyan (Nov. 8, 2013) ravaged the Southwestern part of the Philippines, was the US also hit by it? No!  Therefore, the great flood that was depicted here (in Noah’s time) only occurred in his region. Not the whole Planet.

To continue:

So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 

Genesis 6:14-16 NIV

We read that God did not resort to ‘miracles’ to save Noah. He gave Noah detailed instructions in building an ark to keep them safe from the coming great flood.

I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

Genesis 6:17 NIV

“Everything on earth will perish.” - In their region only.

To continue:

But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark - you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. 

Genesis 6:18 NIV

“But I will establish my covenant with you” - Because Noah was descended from Adam and Eve, (God’s second creation) whom God have a covenant with.

You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.

Genesis 6:19-20 NIV

We may notice here that the ark was not just for Noah and his family, God wanted animals and birds on it as well.  We can understand that for God, animal life has the same importance as human life.

Take note that the “animals and birds” mentioned by God here were the species that can only be found in the region where Noah lived.

Maestro (Teacher) Evangelista also says that (in the first creation), animals were created first by God before men. Thus, they are the real “firstborn.” And through them we have learned many things. Our task from God is to take care of them.

To understand that God never meant the animals to be eaten by men, let us continue our reading:

 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten

and store it away as food for you and for them." 

Genesis 6:21 NIV

God is consistent with His word in Genesis 1:29-30 that the food of man and animals are only fruits and vegetables.

Think about it, God had the ark be built by Noah that big in order to save the birds and animals.  Yet today, we eat them? We killed and even ate the creatures that God wanted to be saved.

Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

Genesis 6:22 NIV

Noah was faithful to God and did exactly what God commanded him.

Why was Noah chosen by God?

The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, 

because I have found you righteous in this generation.

Genesis 7:1 NIV

“because I have found you righteous in this generation.” - The reason Noah was chosen by God is that He was a righteous man.  He followed God’s instructions faithfully. This means that for us to be in God’s image of righteousness we should follow His Commandments.

We may also realize that for every generation, God chooses one man to do His bidding. In Adam’s time – Adam; Noah’s time – Noah; and in our present generation, that is the prophet whom He sent forth “like Moses”.

To show to us how memorable Noah’s righteousness is, God said the following:

The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, even if these three men--Noah, Daniel and Job--were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD. 

Ezekiel 14:12-14 NIV

Noah, alongside with Daniel and Job were considered by God as His righteous men. These three men were faithful to God. Despite the hardships they suffered, they never wavered and God never renounced or rejected them.

We can only surmise that if God saved these men from suffering and death because of their loyalty to Him, it becomes apparent that the reason why God did not save Jesus and his followers (from being executed) was that they did not obey His word.

“they could save only themselves by their righteousness,“ –The word of God invalidates the teaching of the religions that God sent one man to die for the sins of many.  God himself says that even if His three righteous men (Noah, Daniel and Job) were present in a certain country whose people were condemned by God for its wickedness, they can only save themselves.

We can see that God was consistent with His word during the time of Noah. Noah’s presence was not enough to save the people from being punished by God. Noah can only save himself with his righteousness.

Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

Genesis 7:2-3 NIV

“to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.” - The lives of the animal and bird species that lived in Noah’s region were so valuable to God. He did not allow them to become extinct.

 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, 

and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." 

Genesis 7:4 NIV

Noah was forewarned by God when the flood happen in their region (not whole world) and how long it will last.

And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

Genesis 7:5 NIV

By following what God had commanded him to do, Noah saved himself and his family from perishing in the flood.

We must also understand that the salvation promised by God for His servants is salvation from physical death.  This is in contrast with a spiritual “death” with the promise of an afterlife that the religions preach!

Let us continue reading:

Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in. For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. Every living thing that moved on the earth perished--birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 7:6-24 NIV

We have just read the account of the great Flood that God had decreed to happen in Noah’s region, not on the entire planet Earth.

After the great flood, what happened?

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 

Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 

Genesis 8:1-4NIV

“The water receded steadily from the earth.” - The flood that occurred in Noah’s region was so great that it took many days before the floodwaters receded

The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible. After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf!Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him. By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

Genesis 8:5-14 NIV

“When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.” -Without the knowledge that was brought to him by the birds he released, Noah would have no idea if the flood waters had completely receded. We may realize how God’s word in Job 12:7-13 was consistent that He created the animals, birds and every living creature to be our guide.

To continue:

¹⁵ Then God said to Noah, ¹⁶ "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. ¹⁷ Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you--the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground--so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number upon it." ¹⁸ So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives. ¹⁹ All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds--everything that moves on the earth--came out of the ark, one kind after another. 

Genesis 8:15-17 NIV

“Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you.”- Take note of how God speaks of the animals, birds and creatures as a “living creature." God shows us that their life is also precious to Him.  However, not all can be accommodated by the ark and the selected pairs of each kind were saved in the ark, as per God’s instructions to Noah.

To continue:

²⁰ Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. ²¹ The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. ²² "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

Genesis 8:20-22 NIV

“Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.” - We may ask, if the animals and birds’ lives were precious to God, why did He allow Noah to kill some of them to make burnt offerings? 

Maestro Evangelista says that those burnt offerings that Noah (and the former Israelites) had made were previously allowed by God.  Not anymore in our present era. We will know more of that later.

Let us continue our reading and we will learn that God gave humanity a test regarding the importance of the animals:

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Genesis 9:1-3 (NIV)

In this event with Noah, God reminds us with what He said in the first chapter of Genesis.

However, what we did not realize is that (just like Adam), this is also a test for all of us. 

 The religions were the ones who introduced themselves as God’s representatives. Let us find out if they conveyed God’s message to us exactly as God wanted it.

After the flood, everything around Noah’s region was destroyed, and there were no plants. The religions rationalized that God allowed meat to be eaten.

However, let us use our wisdom and understanding to establish if God really allowed us to eat meat:

"But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Genesis 9:4-6 (NIV)

"But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal.”– People thought that eating meat was allowed but not to include its lifeblood.

However if we read what God said:  “And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.”

This means that God reminds us what will happen to us when we eat meat. Humans and animals will suffer for eating the flesh of other animals.  The reason is that it will have a negative reaction in the body.

Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says: God has said before that if we will eat the meat of animals, there will be consequences for us.  It was the time when people began to experience diseases related to the blood - hypertension, high blood pressure, cancer, and others.

That is why, before this time with the people of Noah, from Adam to his descendants, who were eating vegetables and fruits of plants, their lifespan were longer:

When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died. When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh.

Genesis 5:3-6 (NIV)

This is the confirmation that when they observe and follow God's Commandments they are blessed with long lives.

 Another example:

When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.²⁶ And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.²⁷ Altogether, Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died.

Genesis 5:25-27 (NIV)

This is the teaching that if man will return to God and again start to eat vegetables and fruits of plants, the next generations will have longer lifespan.

So, when men thought that God permitted them (in Genesis 9:1-6) to eat the meat of animals, they forgot the prohibitions that they will have to pay for the lifeblood of the flesh of the animals with their own blood.  Is it true?

And because there is “free will” – they did eat.  What is the length of human life when they ate the flesh of animals?

The length of our days is seventy years-- or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Psalm 90:10 (NIV)

The lifespan of man became shorter when they ate the flesh of animals! Unlike the earlier people of God, they have longer lives, because they only ate vegetables and fruits.

What is the advantage of eating vegetables and fruits of plants?

Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, "Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink.  Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see."  So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.

Daniel 1:11-15 (NIV)

If people of the world, will implement what God said in Genesis to take care of the animals, and eat only fruits and vegetables for food, we will live a healthy and peaceful life on earth.  We could have made our world into one great Garden of Eden.

Let us return again to Genesis Chapter 9 verses 4 to 6:

…I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Genesis 9:4-6 (NIV)

"…I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.”- God says that there is a consequence for every man who kills both man and animal. To kill an animal is like killing a human being.

“for in the image of God has God made man.”- What does God mean when He said He created us in His Image? Let us read in:

As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Psalm 17:15 NIV          

In another version:

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;

I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Psalm 17:15 NKJV            

As written above, in God’s image means to be in accord with God’s righteousness- not in God’s appearance. Righteousness is doing what is right by obeying God’s word, especially in giving importance to animal life.  The realization of these truths means that God no longer allows us to kill animals for food or sacrifices.

Let us read in:

¹ This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? ² Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word. 

Isaiah 66:1-2 NIV

"Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me?”- God created the heavens and the earth. He does not need these Churches to be built for Him.

"This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” - To obey God and fear His commandments is better than offering sacrifices.

In our time, who is the best example of being the man who truly fears the word of God and follows His command?

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.

Deuteronomy 18:18-19 (NIV)

“I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.” - This man is no other than the prophet like Moses himself, Teacher Eraño Evangelista. He followed God’s command to show all of us His true message in the scriptures especially about His (God’s) True Name through the websites www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info.

“If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.”-- If we truly want to be considered by God as one of those who truly fear Him and tremble at His word, then we should humble ourselves to listen to His words that He has put into the mouth of His real prophet like Moses. 

Is this true that God no longer honors such burnt offerings or the killing of animals?

³ But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a man, and whoever offers a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig's blood, and whoever burns memorial incense, like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations;⁴ so I also will choose harsh treatment for them and will bring upon them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me."

Isaiah 66:3-4 NIV

“But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a man,”- It is no longer honored by God and God also reminded us of the real meaning of what He said during the time of Noah in Genesis 9:6 that to kill an animal is tantamount to taking a human life.

“whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig's blood, and whoever burns memorial incense, like one who worships an idol”-  Since God does not even want a church, temple or an altar to be built for Him anymore it follows  that He does not accept offerings and sacrifices either.

“They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations;” - The truth is, all of the rituals and doctrines that the religions had taught us were their own making and not from God.

Had these so-called preachers truly feared God’s word in Isaiah 66:1-3, they should not have built churches and houses of worship at all.

In our modern era, people no longer offer meat or burnt sacrifices; they use money to offer to God. Evil people took advantage of these actions.These people disregarded God’s word in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 about a coming prophet.  They studied the bible on their own, made their own interpretations and teachings to build their own church or religion so that those whom they had deceived will give them money offerings.  It has become the “big business of religions”.

Let us read the popular verses that religions use (especially televangelists) to motivate people to donate to them and even send money or love offerings to them.

Did God really say (in those verses) that we should donate to them?

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 NIV

“for God loves a cheerful giver.” -This is what the religions/churches and the televangelists read to convince their followers to donate huge sums of money.

They were made to believe that the higher the amount of their donation, the greater the (financial) blessing of God will be bestowed on them.

To whom shall we give - what Church - Catholic, Protestant, Non-Denomination, Church of Christ?

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”

2 Corinthians 9:8-9 NIV

“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;”- It is not to any Church but for the poor.  We know that the writer of 2 Corinthians was the apostle Paul; from where did he cite those verses?

They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,

their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.

Psalm 112:9 NIV

It was written in the book of Psalms and it clearly states that it is to the poor or less fortunate that we should have shared such tithes and not to ANY Church/Religion. Since that is what was written, it means that all the money that humanity had given to the churches was supposed to be for the POOR.

Now if the Churches say that they are only the ones whom God had chosen to administer such money offerings to be given to the poor, read another passage...

God gave the following decree through His prophet Moses as to why God required His people to give tithes or 10 percent to the less fortunate:

Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.

When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied. Then say to the Lord your God: “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, according to all you commanded. I have not turned aside from your commands nor have I forgotten any of them.

Deuteronomy 26:11-13 NIV

“When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year - the year of tithing - and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled,“- we can read God’s law, the year of tithing comes every three years meaning it is not done yearly as some Christian denominations require from their followers.

In God’s law, the people will distribute the tithes they had set aside not to God but DIRECTLY and equally to the stranger, the fatherless and the widow and to the Levite- who assisted the prophet Moses in ministering God’s law to the Israelites. In our time, the "Levite" represents our Government, for it is the Government who enforces the Laws to maintain peace and order in our society and not the Churches.

Thus, we can see God’s righteousness because the tithes are not for Him but for the less fortunate and for the Government. It is not done annually, but every three years.

It is clear that God did not assign any church to administer such money offerings for the poor. We are the ones who should directly share it with the poor in our community. If people had learned this direct "sharing with the poor" and had observed this commandment in their individual communities, poverty should have been eradicated in our time. The problem is that the churches made us believe that they are the ones sent by God to collect such offerings.  The truth is (as we read in the Bible) that they are not.

Thus, it is the churches who are the true plunderers.  All the wealth that they received from their members were not for them, but were meant by God for the poor.

Why does God not want people to make burnt offerings nor build churches to Him anymore? What is the reason? And why did God allow the Israelites to worship Him in a temple before? Is it because He resides in that temple?

¹⁰ But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the LORD your God is givingyou as an inheritance, and he will give you rest from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety. ¹¹ Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name--there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD. 

Deuteronomy 12:10-11 NIV

“But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance” - God gave this command to the former Israelites.

“Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name--there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices,” - We can read that it is not God who resides in that temple, but His Name and therefore we can understand that the temple was built to make the former Israelites know the Name of God.

The former Israelites will bring their burnt offerings and sacrifices to the temple which bears God’s Name.

Why is the temple needed to be built for the Name of God?

Why would God need a House to be built for His Name? Why not reveal it directly?

Was there a reason for it?

What is the reason why God’s people never knew God’s Name?

Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including the women, "Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah in Egypt.  This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives have shown by your actions what you promised when you said, 'We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.'  "Go ahead then, do what you promised!  Keep your vows!

Jeremiah 44:24-25 (NIV)

 This made God angry with His people when they worshipped the "queen of heaven".   

This is equivalent to the present-day Mary, mother of Jesus, who has the title of "queen of heaven and earth" (given by the religions), and who is still venerated to this day.

What was God's judgment on them?

But hear the word of the LORD, all Jews living in Egypt: 'I swear by my great name,' says the LORD, 'that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, "As surely as the Sovereign LORD lives."

Jeremiah 44:26 (NIV)

Because of their idolatry, God swore an oath to Himself that the Jews may no longer invoke or mention His Name.This means God took away from the Jews the real knowledge of His Name and therefore the so-called name their (Jewish) religious authorities made for God such as YHWH is not God’s real Name.

When God swore an oath to Himself, will it surely happen?

“The LORD has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,

and as I have purposed, so it will stand.”

Isaiah 14:24 (NIV)

"Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,” - This means the name YHWH that the Jews ascribe to God is not the true Name of God since God erased from them the true knowledge about His Name as punishment. Thus they no longer have God’s blessing with them;  they are under God’s curse.

How do we know that even though they were still in their sojourn in Egypt, the people of Israel angered God with their idol worship?

“‘But they rebelled against me and would not listen to me; they did not get rid of the vile images they had set their eyes on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. So I said, I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in Egypt. But for the sake of my name, I brought them out of Egypt. I did it to keep my name from being profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they lived and in whose sight I had revealed myself to the Israelites.                                                                  

Ezekiel 20:8-9 NIV

God confirms through His prophet Ezekiel that even during the time that the people of Israel were still in Egypt they were already worshiping false gods and goddesses. This includes the worship of the queen of heaven that the prophet Jeremiah spoke of (Jeremiah 44:24-26). This is why they were cursed by God that they (Jews) may never mention His Name.

“‘I did it to keep my name from being profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they lived’” – God showed us how he kept His Name from being profaned by the idolatry of His people by putting a curse that they may never invoke His Name.

With the revelation why the name YHWH is not the name of God because God punished the Jews and even swore to Himself that they may not invoke His Name, we can now understand why God said to Moses the following words when Moses asked about His Name;

 Let us read about that particular event:    

 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

Exodus 3:12-14(NIV)

We can read that Moses’ only mission is to take his people out of Egypt.  Should the Children of Israel ask him about the Name of God, Moses asked for permission to say the Name of God.  However, Moses can only say “I AM”.

The reason God said to Moses to say “I AM” when the children of Israel asks him about the Name of God (instead of revealing His Name directly) is that God had already made an oath to Himself (that the Jews may not invoke His Name as punishment for their false worship) when they were still in Egypt.

 Does Moses know the Name of God?

Moses and Aaron were among his priests,

Samuel was among those who called on his name;

they called on the Lord and He answered them.

Psalm 99:6 NIV

“Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name” - Moses truly knows the Name.  However, since he is a Jew (and because of what God said in Jeremiah 44:24-26), he was not allowed by God to mention His Name directly to the people.

How do we know that the former prophets of God were not allowed by God to mention His Name directly to their fellow Jews?

The Sovereign LORD has sworn by himself-the LORD God Almighty declares: "I abhor the pride of Jacob and detest his fortresses; I will deliver up the city and everything in it." If ten men are left in one house, they too will die.  And if a relative who is to burn the bodies comes to carry them out of the house and asks anyone still hiding there, "Is anyone with you?" and he says, "No," then he will say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the LORD."

Amos 6:8-10 NIV

“The Sovereign LORD has sworn by himself” – When God makes an oath-it shall surely happen and the prophets should strictly abide by God’s word.

"I abhor the pride of Jacob and detest his fortresses; I will deliver up the city and everything in it." –because the Children of Jacob, the one whom God gave the name Israel, are found to be always disobedient to God and His laws.

“We must not mention the name of the LORD.” - This proves that the former prophets, since they are Jews, cannot mention God’s Name directly because of God’s oath.

Given these facts that the Jews were under God’s punishment regarding His Name, we can now comprehend why God commanded them to worship Him through a temple that bears His Name.   Once they see the Name of God, they will be able to know His Name. Thus,through the temple that bears His Name, God would have made His Name known to the Jews, without breaking His oath.

We can also understand that the essence of God’s commandments upon the Jews to make animal sacrifices before was not because He delights in their offerings but to instill in them the importance of obeying His word!

when I brought your forefathers out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did

not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices, but I gave

them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people.

Walk in all the ways I command you that it may go well with you.

Jeremiah 7:22-23 NIV

“I didnot just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices” - God’s commandments are not all about sacrifices and burnt offerings.

“but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you that it may go well with you”. –When God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, they are not yet truly considered by God as His people because they still have to prove to God that they are faithful to His laws.  Once they have proven themselves to have obeyed God’s laws, then God will consider them as His people.

 How would God consider them as His people?

“They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say,

‘They are my people,’and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’”

Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)

“They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,”–They can only be called by God as His true people once they know God’s true Name through the prophet Moses.

What happened to them?

But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.

Jeremiah 7:24 NIV

“But they did not listen or pay attention” -The Jews did not obey God’s commandments.  They did not consider (to learn the Name of God) and why Moses told them “I AM” (Exodus 3:14) when they asked about the Name of God.

God already gave the Jews a clue regarding His true Name through the words “I AM” that He commanded Moses to tell them whenever they ask about His Name.

“They went backward and not forward.” – This is why the curse in Jeremiah 44:24-26 is the same punishment He gave long ago (during the time of Israelites in Egypt) that they may not invoke His Name.  The Israelites (of Jeremiah’s time) committed the same sins as their ancestors and God accorded them the same punishment that they (Israelites) may not verbalize His Name.

Why did God repeat the punishment that He rendered to the Israelites during their sojourn in Egypt in the time of the prophet Jeremiah?

¹⁵Whatever is has already been,

and what will be has been before;

and God will call the past to account

Ecclesiastes 3:15 NIV.

“Whatever is has already been” - When the Israelites in Jeremiah’s time repeated the same sins of worshiping other gods (just as their forefathers did during their sojourn in Egypt), God conferred the same punishment upon the Jews.

The Jews did not know the story about the Name of God, as they were cursed by God.

Their non-knowledge is proof of how true God’s oath to Himself is.  The Jews may not invoke His Name.

The problem is that these religious preachers and theologians relied on their own Bible research and understanding. They thought that the Hebrew translation of God’s words ‘I AM WHO I AM’ in Exodus 3:13-14 is His Name.  They invented the names YHWH, Yahweh and Jehovah. They did not understand that the words “I AM” (by God) is not and never His Name but rather A CLUE towards knowing His Name.

The reason why we are now aware of this is that the promised prophet of God (whom He had sent to speak in His Name) has come in our present era.

We can now understand why in Isaiah 66:1-3 God implied that He does not want any Church or temple to be built for Him. 

Thus,no more offerings IN OUR ERA, because His Name will now be made known directly by the man (in whose mouth God had put His words) who speaks in His Name - the prophet like Moses.(Deuteronomy 18:18-19) who is Teacher Eraño Martin Evangelista.

The Jews may ask, why is it that the prophet whom God spoke about in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 who will reveal His Name has just come in our present era and why is he a foreigner and not a Jew?

How do we know that it is indeed a foreigner from a faraway country whom God had sent to reveal His Name?

“As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name –                           

1 Kings 8:41 (NIV)

This is the prophet like Moses who will come; he will no longer come from the people of Israel, and will come from a far country…

for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm - when he comes and prays toward this temple,

1 Kings 8:42 (NIV)

“for men will hear of your great name” – God’s "prophet like Moses" is not a Jew but a foreigner - manifested in our time in the person of Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista. Since the chosen one is a “foreigner” or Gentile, it means he is not covered by the Curse decreed by God upon the Jews (elaborated by the prophet Jeremiah in 44:24-26) and therefore may directly reveal God’s name through the scriptures.

The Name of God is now available to be read by the whole world in the websites: www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info.

then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.

1 Kings 8:43 (NIV)

“so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel”,- It is very clear.

“as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.” –Now we know that the reason why God had a temple built was for His Name to be known.

This also means that since he bears the Name of God, God also considers him as an Israelite or as His people.  This is consistent with what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 that His prophet like Moses is a brother of the Israelites.

How did that happen? Let us read God’s word in Zechariah 13:9:

This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold.

They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’

and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’”

Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)

Those who will call on the real Name of God will be considered by God as His people.

When God chose Maestro Evangelista, a Filipino, to be His prophet “like Moses,” He first revealed to him His true Name in the scriptures.  This makes Maestro Evangelista “belong to the House of Israel” and become an Israelite - the FIRST of God’s new Israel.

Since Maestro Evangelista was made by God an Israelite through His Name, we can understand that God raised up a ‘prophet like Moses’ from the brothers of the Israelites!

God showed how He is true in His word in Zechariah 13:9 (that He will consider His people those who call on His Name) when he chose a Gentile or foreigner, Maestro Evangelista, to be His prophet like Moses. God sent him to reveal His great Name to mankind.

To confirm that the prophet like Moses in whose mouth God will place His words and send to reveal His Name is a foreigner, let us read in:

See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar, with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke; his lips are full of wrath, and his tongue is a consuming fire.

Isaiah 30:27 NIV

 Why would God's Name come from afar as written in Isaiah 30:27?

It is because the prophet like Moses whom He had sent to make known His Name and explain His words to us is a Foreigner, (but will be made an Israelite by God through His Name) consistent with what we have read in I Kings 8:41-43, and will not come from the Jews but from a faraway land.  He is sent by God to proclaim His word to all nations.

"his lips are full of wrath"- because God had shown us through His prophet like Moses, Maestro Evangelista that the reason why He allows these disastrous events to happen is that He is showing His anger upon us.  Why? Because we do not call on His true Name.

Whether the religions accept it or not, Maestro Evangelista, the FOREIGNER has now revealed the Name of God in the website links given above, in fulfillment of the prophecy stated by King Solomon. This is now the reality and can no longer be denied!

To further enlighten us why the real Name of God was not known by the Jews, the prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista will show how the first ones whom God sent from their (Jewish) race to inform them about His Namehad failed.

Let us remember what we have read that because of the idolatry of the Jews, God swore an oath to Himself that the Jews may no longer invoke His Name which means that He took away from them the real knowledge of His Name (Jeremiah 44: 24-26).

So for the Jews to be able to know God’s Name without God breaking His oath, God spoke about a dwelling place or a temple be built for His Name.

Who were the ones chosen by God to build a House for His Name?

When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS – 

2 Samuel 7:12-14 (NIV)

“When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.”- God Himself speaks about a coming offspring of David, a descendant of a human being or a son of man, not a literal Son of God.

Read again the following verse:

He is the one, who will build a house for my Name,

and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

2 Samuel 7:13 (NIV)

The one whom God had given the task of building a house for His Name was the offspring of King David.

In reality, King David was the one who first took the initiative of building a house for the Name of God.  Although this request of David truly pleased God, (2 Samuel 7) God never allowed David to do so because of the many men he killed during the battles he had in establishing the Kingdom of Israel.

Why is it important for the Jews to know the Name of God?

All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

Psalm 25:10-11 NIV

The reason, (there was a need to build a house with the Name of God) is that the Name of God may be shown to them by the chosen descendant of David without mentioning directly the Name of God to them.  When the people of Israel repent and call on the Name of God, their sins will be forgiven by God.

Once the house is built and the Name of God is known by the Israelites, what is the reward promised by God to the descendant of David?

I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong,

I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men.

2 Samuel 7:14 (NIV)

“I will be his father, and he will be my son" - the descendant of David will be considered or be privileged to be "called" the "son of God" - this is the honor or title which will be conferred on him if he succeeds, though he is just a man.

A condition was also given: that if the descendant of David will commit iniquity, he will be punished with the “ROD OF MEN WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY MEN”.

Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista asks: Why punished with the “rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men” and not with the rod of God?

The prophet Like Moses, Maestro Evangelista explains: if the descendant of David builds the house with the Name of God, the people of Israel (during their time) will know the Name through the House; the curse that is upon the people of Israel will be lifted. The people of Israel would have been saved.  However, if the descendant of David fails in his work of letting his people know the Name of God (the people would have benefited from knowing the Name), they should be the ones who will have to punish him.

Why?

Because the work that is given to the descendant of David is not for God but for the salvation of the people of Israel from their sins!

With the commandments of God, to whom you have sinned, so shall you receive punishment! If you have sinned against the people, they will administer the punishment.

The house with the Name of God will show the people of Israel, (in their time) the way to save themselves from their sins to God.

Like what happened to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden: God said they should not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; if they will eat it, they will die.

 God, when giving His commandments, there is always an accompanying condition, because all possess God-given “Free Will”.

Also, since the descendant of David would be punished with rod and floggings inflicted by men, this means that the real God will not sacrifice His anointed one for Him just to forgive the sins of others.

Is this true?

Let us read God’s law in Deuteronomy 24:16:

 Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children

put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.                                        

Deuteronomy 24:16 NIV

In this law of God, we can understand that we cannot make the child pay for the sin of his or her parents, nor can we put to death the parents for the deeds of their children. It is even decreed in this verse, THAT EACH WILL DIE FOR THEIR OWN SIN. This means that God will never allow an innocent person to die for the sins he did not commit.

Can the said law of God be altered?

Do not add to what I command you

and do not subtract from it, but keep

the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.

Deuteronomy 4:2 (NIV)

“Do not add to what I command youand do not subtract from it,”-It is not allowed!  What was given in the law is the law; there is a punishment for breaking it.  If one is to alter or overturn the law and teach it to others, he will be terribly cursed.

Due to the law of God in Deuteronomy 24:16, it means that the Christian teaching that God had Jesus killed for our sins is not true and therefore an additional teaching that was not from God!

Such teaching makes it appear that the real God is a weak god who cannot forgive the sins of mankind without shedding the blood of his own son. This religious teaching is a blasphemous one.

Since God has a decree (In Deuteronomy 24:16), it follows that what the apostles had written that Jesus was allowed by God to die such a brutal death for our sins IS NOT THE TRUTH BUT A GREAT LIE! God need not sacrifice anyone since those who have sinned against Him (by worshiping another god) can be forgiven once they follow His commandments and call on His Name (Psalm 25:10-11).

Is it true that King David was not allowed by God to build the House for His Name?

7 David said to Solomon: "My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God. 8But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. 

1 Chronicles 22:7-8 NIV

"My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God.”- King David wanted in his heart to build a house for the Name of God.

“You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. “ – God did not allow David to do so because of the great number of men he killed in battle.

To continue:

“But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign. He is the one who will build a house for my Name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’”                                                                                     

I Chronicles 22:9-10 (NIV)  

“But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon.“ - The first to be chosen for this task was David’s direct descendant, his son, Solomon.

“He will be my son, and I will be his father.”- King Solomonis called a man of peace. As prophesied, he was to be called a “Son of God” for building the house with the Name of God. The religions do not have any teaching that describes King Solomon as a “Son of God”.Solomon should have been the first to be recognized as a “Son of God”.

And: 

“Now, my son, the LORD be with you, and may you have success and build the house of the LORD your God, as he said you would. May the LORD give you discretion and understanding when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God. Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”                   

I Chronicles 22:11-13 (NIV)

This was the reminder that King David gave Solomon - for him to be strong and to obey the Commandments.

Even though the house was built, the Name of God was not known by his people during his time because King Solomon also built temples for the false gods of his wives (I Kings 11:1-13).

When King Solomon failed, did the task of making God’s Name (through the house) known end with him?  Did God choose another from the line of King David?

Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen."

1 Kings 11:13 (NIV)

Why Jerusalem?  Why did God choose Jerusalem?

He took the carved Asherah pole he had made and put it in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and to his son Solomon, "In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.

II Kings 21:7 (NIV)

This is the promise of God; He will place His Name in Jerusalem only.

Now, concerning the man who will come from the house of David who will continue Solomon’s unfulfilled task and thus attain the title “Son of God”, what was the sign given to his people to identify him?

 Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David!  Is it not enough

to try the patience of men?  Will you try the patience of my God also?

Isaiah 7:13 (NIV)

And finally God gave them a sign, it was a prophecy given to the House of David...

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:  The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.  He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right.

Isaiah 7:14-15 (NIV)

Since then, the people have been expecting the coming of the man who will continue the unfulfilled work of Solomon.  The sign that was given was specific; to identify the man who will come from the house of David, the descendant should be born of a virgin. Why?  The sign given by God was specific, since anybody can pretend to be a son of David, hence the sign.

The sign was for a "virgin," meaning, a young and unmarried woman, to conceive and give birth to a son... and why will he be called "Immanuel"?  Maestro Evangelista says, if the man prophesied, who would come from the house of David, is successful in leading his people to the Name of God; when they call on God, that is the time that God will answer them, therefore the name “Immanuel” (God with us) would have been fulfilled.

A condition was given, similar to the one given before to Solomon.  The reason for this is that although they (God's Anointed - the Messiah) were prophesied and sent by God it doesn't necessarily mean that they cannot commit a mistake or fail in their mission. This was what happened in the case of Solomon, who failed in his task.

"He will eat curds and honey" - meaning he will also be instructed and reminded to follow the teaching of God, and to choose the "right" and reject the "wrong," (meaning Satan).  If he fails, the punishment mentioned in II Samuel 7:14, "When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men", will apply.

“when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right.”  – Since the chosen one from the House of David (mentioned in this prophecy) must reject the wrong and choose the right, it clearly shows that he is only a man and not a literal son of God as religious writers claim. This also confirms that chosen one from the line of David is not born of a literal virgin but of a young woman who will be impregnated by a man who is a descendant of King David.

Let us inquire if it was easy for a woman to conceive and bear a child during Old Testament times? 

What was the law regarding the matter?

If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death.  She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house.  You must purge the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22:20-21 (NIV)

And what will happen to man who defiles a virgin?

“you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death” - the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife.  You must purge the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22:24 (NIV)

Very clear, the sign of the prophecy was for a woman to conceive and give birth to a son out of marriage; she will not be found out and not be charged before the law, meaning she will escape punishment.  Considering the strict observance of the law during their time, this was the sign of the son that the woman will bear.  To be born out of wedlock is a feat in their time.

Who was the young woman mentioned in the prophecy of Isaiah?

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 
Matthew 1:18 (NIV)

The young woman was Mary, and was to be married to Joseph; before they got married she became pregnant, meaning Joseph made love to her even before they were married.  Now, the religions preach that she was impregnated by the Holy Spirit.  

What is the true meaning of the “Holy Spirit” in the Holy Bible?

and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus - 
Acts 1:16 (NIV)

It is written the Holy Spirit spoke through the mouth of David and we read again in...

You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant,

our father David: " 'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
Acts 4:25 (NIV)

Finally, let us determine the meaning of the Holy Spirit that spoke through the mouth of David, let us read in...

These are the last words of David: "The oracle of David son of Jesse,
the oracle of the man exalted by the Most High, the man anointed by

The God of Jacob, Israel's singer of songs: 
"The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue.
II Samuel 23:1-2 (NIV)

Holy Spirit that spoke through the mouth of David is the Word of God or the Commandment given to the prophets.  “Spirit,” meaning “Word” that is not seen and “Holy” because it came from God. 

The meaning of the Holy Spirit is simply the Word of God and not the third person of the trinity as the religions have assumed. We can now say that the “trinity” is a false doctrine; there can be no more debate about this matter.  It is only in our present time that the true meaning of the "mystery" of the Holy Spirit had been answered.  What the religions still preach or say about it, is not true!

The Holy Spirit that spoke through the mouth of David was simply God’s Word, the Word or Instruction that is given to the prophets.  Spirit, meaning "Word" - and the reason why it is called "Holy," is that it is from God.  That is why we say the Holy Spirit is God’s Word.  What God has said through his prophets will be fulfilled.

 Regarding the meaning of Spirit in the Holy Bible...

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface

of the deep,and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

Genesis 1:1-3 (NIV)

 What is the meaning of the "Spirit of God" that was on many waters?

 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;

worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters;

the God of glory thunders,

the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.

Psalm 29:2-3 (NIV)

 It is now clear that the spirit that was upon many waters is the voice or Word of God, not the “other person” of the one God.  The religions have assumed that it is God Himself in the form of the third person of the Trinity in their Trinity Doctrine.

Is it true that the Holy Spirit only means the word of God that was put into the mouth of God’s prophet?

 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever,” says the LORD.

Isaiah 59:21 NIV

“My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth”- It is very clear, the Holy Spirit is only the word of God that God has put into the mouth of His servants, the prophets.

Why the prophets?

“Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without

revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.”

Amos 3:7 (NIV)

 The real servants of God are the prophets and not the apostles.

However the prophets who wrote God’s words in the scriptures had died long ago.  Can we just listen to anyone explain the words of God written by the prophets?

Let us read in:

“I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren,

and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that

I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words,

which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.”

Deuteronomy 18:18-19(NIV)

God had spoken in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 about the ONE prophet whom He will send like Moses, in whose mouth He will place His words or the HOLY SPIRIT (which means the chosen one will not study the Bible on his own as God Himself will instruct him about His words) AND will speak in His Name or to reveal His Name.

This means that when it comes to knowing the true meaning of what God said that were written by His former prophets, we are not to study God’s word. We are commanded by God to listen to the prophet like Moses (and no one else), because God had put His words in the mouth of His last prophet. Thus, every explanation the prophet makes is the truth that God wants us to understand about His words.

By reading this article and the flow of Bible scriptures in it, you have made yourself live witnesses of how God had put His Holy spirit or word into the mouth of His prophet like Moses in order to deliver His true message from the writings of His former prophets.

That is why when it was said in...

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:18 (NIV)

 That it was prophesied to happen according to the prophet Isaiah. Let us continue...

Because Joseph her husband-to-be was a righteous man and did not

want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

Matthew 1:19 (NIV)

When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he knew that if they were found out before marriage, they will be put to death.  He had been thinking of running away, to abandon the woman and save his life.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:20 (NIV)

Joseph was reminded of the prophecy that was spoken of by Isaiah in Isaiah 7:13-15- according to the Word of God - the Holy Spirit.  Meaning, it is Joseph, not the Holy Spirit who made Mary pregnant.

What is the mission of the son of Joseph and Mary?

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1:21 (NIV)

Jesus was sent to continue the mission that Solomon failed to fulfill; to save only his people Israel, from their sin, not the Christians.

What was the sin of the people Israel?

This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives have shown by your actions what you promised when you said, 'We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.'  "Go ahead then, do what you promised!  Keep your vows!But hear the word of the LORD, all Jews living in Egypt: 'I swear by my great name,' says the LORD, 'that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, "As surely as the Sovereign LORD lives."

Jeremiah 44:24-26 NIV

The sins of the Israelites were their false worship of other gods. Therefore, for them to be saved from their sins they should know the Name of God.

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us."  When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

Matthew 1:22-24 (NIV)

This is the sign of Jesus, for his people to identify him as the one sent to continue the task of making his people know the Name of God.  Is it really true that Jesus was a descendant of David? 

Is it also true that his parents were not yet married when he was born?

…to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,

a descendant of David.The virgin's name was Mary.

Luke 1:27 (NIV)

Jesus' true father is Joseph who belongs to the house of David.  So if we are to believe the teaching of the religions that Jesus is the “son of God,” then it should be Mary who should belong to the house of David.

 And:

You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,

Luke 1:31- 32 (NIV)

“He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High” - This confirms that Jesus was the next from the line of David, who will finish the unfulfilled task of King Solomon and may attain the title “Son of God”.Jesus was only a son or a descendant of David not a real "son of God", he was just a man.

“The Lord God will give him the throne of HIS FATHER David.”– It cannot be denied now that Jesus is PURELY a descendant of David.

Another confirmation that Jesus is just a son of David can be read in:

A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham

Matthew 1:1(NIV)

Now we can see that the prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 about a coming descendant of David and not a son of God has been fulfilled.

Considering the prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 that if the descendant of David commits a wrong or an iniquity, he will be punished with the rod of men.

Was Jesus-the descendant of King David punished by the rod and floggings of men?

All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

Matthew 27:25-26 (NIV)

Indeed, Jesus was flogged by men as God stated in the prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:14:

“I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS”

2 Samuel 7:14 NIV:

We can discover for ourselves that based on what God said in the prophecy that the real reason why He allowed Jesus, -the descendant of King David, to be beaten by men was not for our sins but for his (Jesus) own wrongdoing.

Religions may say that the word of God in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 about the punishment that the descendant of David will suffer once he commits wrong, was only for King Solomon and does not apply to Jesus.

Let us read what God had revealed in the scriptures to His prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista about this matter. How do we know that God's decree of punishment in 2 Samuel 7:14 applies to Jesus? Bear in mind that Jesus is a descendant of David.

 Let us read in:

“If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,

if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,

I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;

Psalm 89:30-32 NIV

“If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes" -In what God had revealed in the scriptures to Teacher Evangelista in Psalm 89:30-32, God shows us that His decree of punishment in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 was not just for Solomon but extends to all descendants of David including Jesus as he was the next son or descendant of David to be chosen or anointed to continue Solomon’s unfinished task (of making God’s Name known through the house he built) and can be given the title “son of God.”

Had Jesus done what God decreed in 2 Samuel 7:13 to build a House for the Name of God?

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”

Matthew 16:18 (NIV)

Jesus was sent by God to lead his people to the house with the Name of God that was built by King Solomon. Instead, he built another house in his own name. Jesus had put up his own church (Church of Christ) which was not part of his work as specified in the prophecies. This deception was used as the foundation of faith of the many religions. By building a church in his own name, Jesus had made himself to be known as a god rather than making his fellow Israelites know the true Name of God from the house that was built for God’s Name!

Since the religions made us worship Jesus who –(as based on God’s word in the prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:12-14) was punished by God for his own wrongdoing and not for our sins as the apostles claim, it is clear that we were taught by the religions an erroneous teaching about God.

This is why God does not hear the prayer of the peoples of the world for peace but continues to let mankind suffer from all these wars and disasters because they are calling on a false god made by the apostles.

For the religions to say that this is an “Antichrist” teaching is irrational and unsound because it is clear that God's decree of punishment in 2 Samuel 7:14 of being flogged by men was fulfilled in Jesus.  He failed in being the "Christ or anointed one" and now it cannot be denied that the apostles had lied in their eye-witness account and writings which are untrue and inaccurate.

The apostles twisted God's word in 2 Samuel 7:14 to hide the fact that God punished Jesus and forsaken him to be flogged, beaten and be executed by men because of his wrongdoing.

Jesus can no longer be the ‘culprit’ here because he already paid for his iniquity when he was punished with the floggings of men. The real culprits now are the apostles as they were the ones who wrote a different story or made a propaganda to hide the real truth why Jesus suffered a brutal and humiliating death. 

⁶² The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate.⁶³ "Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' ⁶⁴ So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."

Matthew 27:63-64 NIV

“that deceiver said” - Jesus was known as a deceiver.

“lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.”-  Indeed, the deception became even worse as the "deceiver" (Jesus) even became a god!

Why should the apostles continue the deception? What is their motive?

³² All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. ³³ With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. ³⁴ There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them,brought the money from the sales ³⁵ and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. ³⁶ Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas(which means Son of Encouragement), ³⁷ sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.

Acts 4:32-37 NIV

“There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them,brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.” - The motive of the apostles is all about making money out of their false teachings about God’s word. Isn’t this SCAM the same thing the religions of today do?

This is another proof that that the religions, starting with their founding fathers, the apostles, had distorted God’s real message in the scriptures.

It is clear that the apostles led humanity astray from the real word of God in 2 Samuel 7:14 about Jesus and why God had him flogged and beaten by men.  Whose teaching do they preach all this time?

The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Revelation 12:9 NIV

“The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray”–To preach Satan’s teaching is to lead people astray from following God’s real words.

“He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”–This is why it was difficult for humanity to know who preached Satan’s teachings. Satan’s pattern of deception was done by many angels or messengers (not spiritual beings but only symbolically) to deceive humanity and these are the apostles and religions.

How were we led astray by Satan? What lesson have we failed to learn?

God will now show us through this revelation by the prophet like Moses.

Did the prophet Moses give us a clear warning about being deceived?

Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you.

Deuteronomy 11:16-17 NIV

“Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods” - in what the prophet Moses said, he gave a clear warning that we should take care that we should not bow down to other gods, otherwise we will suffer.  We certainly are currently suffering!

Let us realize that FAITH is not enough to say we worship the real God.  We must ensure that what is being taught to us by any individual or church truly comes from God so that we may not be enticed away from the true God and be deceived.

 The best way to understand how we let ourselves be deceived and enticed to worship other gods is through the mistake that Adam and Eve had committed before:

 What is the teaching of God, the manner in which we can say we truly worship God?

And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any

tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge

of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV)

A decree was given to Adam and it is up to him whether to obey or not; “free will” was emphasized.  He may eat all of the fruits in the garden, except one.

To worship God we have to obey His commandments.

Let us read how they were deceived:

Now the serpent was more crafty thanany of the wild animals the LORD God had made.

He said to the woman, "Did God really say,'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

Genesis 3:1 (NIV)

“Now the serpent was more crafty thanany of the wild animals the LORD God had made.”- God is the one who created the serpent or Satan.

“He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"- The serpent was talking to Eve, asking her regarding what God had told Adam about the prohibition of eating the particular fruit in the garden.  The serpent was misleading the woman, using God’s word and at the same time contradicting what God has said in Genesis 2:16-17: “they may eat all, except the forbidden fruit.”

What did the woman say to the serpent?

The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,

but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the

garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

Genesis 3:2-3 (NIV)

 This is the way to worship God, obey His commandments.  What did the serpent say to Eve?

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

Genesis 3:4-5  (NIV)

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman” - We can see with our own eyes how Satan preaches the opposite of what God had commanded and even makes his own explanation about it.

"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."- Actually what Satan says here is true in the sense that we will also know what is right from wrong after we committed wrong and suffered its consequences.

The truth is, if we follow God’s commandments –we will know the difference between right and wrong, at the same time enjoying His blessings.

This means that in order for us not to commit the same mistake that Adam and Eve did, we must not let ourselves be deceived by just having faith in what any preacher or religious teacher speaks about God.  We must see to it that what they speak about God is the truth and in accord with what God had commanded before.

Look at what is happening to our world today, with all the sufferings we have we can no longer claim we are blessed.  We are cursed because we have allowed ourselves to be deceived by the religions!

By listening to God’s word about heeding the message of His true prophet like Moses, we may know the difference between the true worship of God and the worship of Satan. We will never be deceived into worshiping Satan.

⁶ When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 

Genesis 3:6 NIV

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom” - The woman or Eve, did not trust God and thought that Satan’s explanation was right about God (that she will be like God without the need for obeying God’s laws).  She ate the forbidden fruit and listened not only to Satan but to her own desire of wanting to be equal with God.

“She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.” - Here was Adam’s folly, he believed his partner more than God.

By allowing himself to be deceived into disobeying God’s commands, Adam failed God’s purpose in creating him. He did not embody God’s righteousness.

We too committed the same mistake when we listened to the apostles and the religions’ explanation about God’s word. We did not heed what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19.

⁷Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 

Genesis 3:7 NIV

“Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked” - The couple realized they committed wrong. This is what is happening now as well. We have realized that we have done wrong.

⁸Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. ⁹But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" 

¹⁰He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." ¹¹And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

Genesis 3:8-11 NIV

“But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" – This statement of God was cited by Freethinkers as proof that God is not all-knowing but the prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista says it is not so.  It is simply God’s way of testing Adam if he admits he committed wrong or not.

Is this true?

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.

Genesis 4:8-10 (NIV)

“Where is your brother Abel?"- We can understand that God is not asking Cain because He did not know where Abel was- God was giving Cain a chance to speak the truth and admit to him his fault.  The same pattern of questioning was what God had done with Cain’s father Adam.

Now it is clear that what freethinkers believe they knew about the scriptures is wrong from the very start.

Going back to what God asked Adam- Did Adam admit his wrong?

¹² The man said, "The woman you put here with me--she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." ¹³ Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." 

Genesis 3:12-13 NIV

“"The woman you put here with me” - Instead of admitting his wrongdoing, Adam even blamed God for giving him a partner.

“The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."- When God asked Eve, she blamed the serpent or Satan instead of admitting her sin.   

According to Teacher Evangelista, through the punishment that God gave upon the couple we can understand that the wrath of God is great on people who allow themselves to be deceived by others.  God gave clear commandments and clear consequences for disobedience.  Yet, people choose to disobey because of the promise given by another (the snake).

The work of the deceiver is to make others break the rules or not comply with established directives.  The work of the snake (Devil or Satan) is to deceive people, as he did to Adam and Eve.  The deceiver prospers because people allow themselves to be deceived. 

In the case of Adam and Eve, if they remained steadfastly obedient to God and did not follow the snake, the deceiver would not have prospered and it would have been out of work.  But, with the empty promise made by the snake that they would be like gods and have immortality or ETERNAL LIFE, the couple chose to eat the forbidden fruit and thereby disobeyed God.

In our present time, in what form is the deception being done?

Let us use our understanding and common sense:  During natural disasters and conflicts, the religions ask us to pray to God.  They tell us to call on Jesus for salvation and receive eternal life (immortality in heaven)!  Does God hear our prayers?  Do the disasters stop?  No, the disasters are even getting worse.  This means that all the prayers, including those of the religions, are not heard by God.

Why?

The religions teach us to call on the name of Jesus in order to receive salvation. Yet we have always known that before Jesus died on the cross, he cried out: “My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)  Jesus cried out to God, but God let him die on the cross. How could the religions teach us to ask Jesus for help and salvation when he was not able to save himself?  Are the religions not deceiving us?

Furthermore, he was a man beaten, tortured, killed and admitted that God has forsaken him. Now, here comes a preacher who teaches us that that man who was beaten, tortured and killed is our savior from whom we should seek help.  It is very clear that that preacher is deceiving us!

With very effective propaganda machinery, the religions practically convinced the whole world to accept that Jesus is the savior of all in order to receive eternal life.  What a wonderful deception made by the devil or snake and his disciples!

Because we let ourselves believe in the deception by the religions - to call on Jesus for salvation, instead of calling on God directly – is it not reasonable to expect God to punish us?

This is the reason why the people of the world are currently experiencing severe difficulties.  It is because we ourselves accepted this deception. We are being cursed and chastened by God!

We cannot blame anybody else but ourselves for the hardships and sufferings that we currently experience, because we allowed ourselves to be deceived.  We believed in the teachings of the religions that are full of lies and deceptions!  We did not use our own understanding, but simply believed in the false teachings of the religions based on “FAITH”.

We should remember this: For God, the punishment for allowing oneself to be deceived into disobeying His commands is death.

What did God to do the serpent?

¹⁴ So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

Genesis 3:13-14 NIV    

“the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals!”- God punished the serpent for deceiving Adam and Eve. This means that God did not send Satan to deceive the couple.

“You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.”-  We all know that a serpent crawls on the ground but in this event we can read that it is what God had decreed upon the serpent as punishment. What was the serpent’s appearance before?

First let us understand how the book of Genesis was written.

The one who wrote the books of Genesis to Deuteronomy (part of it) was the prophet Moses. How was Moses able to write the events in Genesis when he was not even born during the creation?

The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks

with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his

young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

Exodus 33:11 (NIV)

This is how close Moses is to God, and God speaks with him like a friend.

“The LORD would speak to Moses face to face”- does it mean Moses saw God’s face literally?

Let us read the answer in:

²⁰But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." 

Exodus 33:20 NIV

Moses had not seen God’s face, only heard His voice .

Moses was able to write the first five books of the Holy Bible, (especially about the events of Creation) because God, the Creator Himself, is the One who "revealed" the Word to him.

 Moses only wrote the Word that was given or spoken to him by God. However to explain what God has commanded Moses to write about is the task of another prophet –The prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy18:18-19) as God will put His words in the prophet’s mouth to explain His words that His other prophets had written before.

Now since the word of God concerning a prophet like Moses is now fulfilled in the person of Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista, we will now read the explanation to what was written in Genesis 3:13-14 regarding the serpent’s punishment.

The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Revelation 12:9 NIV

“The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan” - The serpent was formerly the “dragon”because he has feet before. When he deceived the couple, his feet were cut off by God and were decreed to crawl on the ground.

Here we can understand that a great punishment awaits those who emulate what Satan had done -deceiving other people using the word of God.

How do we know that Satan is under God?

⁶One day the angels came to present themselves

before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 

Job 1:6 NIV

“One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD,” - How does God consider His angels?

Let us read another Bible version:

“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present

themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.”

Job 1:6(KJV)

The angels of God are considered by God as His Sons.

Since God has so many angels or sons. This confirms that the apostles’ writings that Jesus was an "only begotten son" (John 3:16) is not true.

⁷The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered

the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it." 

Job 1:7 NIV

“The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"- Satan is not an enemy of God. He is a creation by God and his very nature is to deceive. However, with what happened in the Garden of Eden where he was punished by God, it only means that the deception of and Eve was Satan’s own decision and not from God.

⁸Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." ⁹ "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied.¹⁰ "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. ¹¹But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face."¹² The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. 

Job 1:8 -12 NIV

“The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands” - Satan challenged God about Job’s loyalty and God allowed Satan to test Job.

“but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” - This truly shows Satan is under God. Satan was given an order by God not to take Job’s life.

Was God consistent in His order to Satan that he should not take Job’s life?

“On another day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. And the LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it." Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.” “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life. But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.” The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”

Job 2:1-6 (NIV)

“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life. But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.”- The first trial for Job was his possessions and children taken away, but this time it is his physical condition that will be made to suffer.

“The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”- God was consistent in His decree.

Why did God not allow Satan to take Job’s life?

¹⁰But man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more. ¹¹As water disappears from the sea or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,¹²so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep. 

Job 14:10-12 NIV

“so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep.“- The reason God did not allow Satan to take Job’s life is that once Job dies he will no longer rise again. The teaching of the religions about an afterlife in heaven is not true.

Now these events in Job’s life was what some religious preachers cite whenever their believers ask about why such suffering is happening, that it is all trials from God to test their faith.

Maestro Evangelista says it is not so, because the difference between Job and the people who suffer today is that they do not know the true Name of God while Job knew the Name of God.

²¹and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." ²²In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Job 1:21-22 NIV

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;” - Job never questioned why God had let him suffer.

“may the name of the LORD be praised." – Job knows God by His true Name. Therefore all the suffering he went through can be truly said as a test of obedience to the true God.

In the case of the suffering that people of the world are experiencing today – what is the cause?

If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name - the LORD your God - the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.  He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you.  The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

Deuteronomy 28:58-61 (NIV)

“If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name - the LORD your God“-The reason why the people of the world suffer today is not because they are tested like Job; they suffer because they allowed themselves to be deceived by Satan into not revering the true Name of God and into disobeying God's commandments.

To know how Satan deceived the whole world- let us read once again the event in the Garden of Eden:

¹⁵And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." 

Genesis 3:15 NIV

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers;” - This only shows that the struggle for good to win over evil was never lost during the event in the Garden of Eden when Adam failed.

We can also understand that there are two “offspring” mentioned by God- One is of the woman and other is of the serpent.

The religions considered this prophecy to be the struggle between God and the snake (Satan). Reading the prophecy again, it is the struggle between the offspring of the woman against the offspring of the snake or Devil .

This is what Maestro Evangelista has been saying: If the god, whom the religions are preaching, is still struggling with Satan: what kind of a god is he? Answer: a weak god who has an opponent and still struggling.

In Genesis 3:15 we can read, "he will crush your head."- “he” meaning it is not the woman but her offspring who is a “male” who will “crush the head of the serpent”.

Since he is an offspring of a woman, it follows that he is a son of a man. Thus, the chosen one is called a SON OF MAN because he is just a man and NOT a literal Son of God.

“and you will strike his heel” – This means that the Serpent may bring down the chosen one by deceiving him.  We can now understand that the Chosen one may commit wrong and fail in crushing the head or defeating the “serpent”. The Chosen one, just like Adam, may be deceived by the serpent into committing wrong or evil.

between your offspring and hers;” - We all now know that the serpent is none other than Satan. But the question here is - who is the seed of the woman and who is the seed of the serpent or Satan?

Without knowing who the serpent’s seed is, we do not know what kind of deception Satan had used to lead the world astray.

The mere fact that the serpent has a seed or offspring only means that Satan is not alone in his deception; he had used an agent to continue his deception.

In order to know who the serpent’s seed is, Maestro Evangelista said,’ a father only bequeaths all his authority and power to his heir or offspring.” Therefore to identify who the serpent’s seed was, we should read in the scriptures to whom did Satan promised all his power and authority.

Let us read in:

The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

Luke 4:3 (NIV)

The Devil was challenging Jesus to turn the stone into bread; the Devil has the power to do it. Jesus did not have the power to do such a thing, simply because he is a man.  The Devil knew him fully, that he is not a "son of God"; and if Jesus was indeed the “son of God”, the Devil need not ask Jesus to prove himself otherwise, that would be an insult.  But how did Jesus answer the Devil?

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.' "

Luke 4:4 (NIV)

Jesus answered the Devil indirectly, as if he had said he can’t do it.  The Devil knew he did not have the power that is why the Devil made an offer…

The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the

kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, "I will give you all their

authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to

anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours."

Luke 4:5-7 (NIV)

“And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor,”- let us use our wisdom and understanding; if Jesus is just a son of God or even God why is it that the Devil or Satan is the one promising him the authority and splendor of the world?

“for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.” – The Serpent or Satan has this authority when he deceived Adam and Eve.

”So if you worship me, it will all be yours."-If Jesus worships the serpent (Devil or Satan), he will be revered like a god as people will be deceived into thinking that he is (a god), because of the miracles he will perform with the power that Satan hands over to him.

The man whom Satan had promised his power and authority to was Jesus. The condition is that Jesus should worship him.

What was God’s offer to Jesus if he succeeds in being the offspring of the woman or being the chosen one who will finally end the deception of Satan?

When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS – 

2 Samuel 7:12-14 (NIV)

“He is the one who will build a house for my Name,” - This is how Jesus can end Satan’s deception, by making the Israelites know God’s Name through the house built for the Name of God.

“and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.” - Jesus’ reward is to be the greatest King of Israel only and not the whole world as offered by Satan.

“I will be his father, and he will be my son.” - Aside from being the greatest King of Israel, he will also be granted a title by God greater than that of His forefather David- to be called a Son of God.That will be his title if he succeeds in making the Israelites know the Name of God through the house built for God’s Name.

“WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS “ –  However there is a condition:  if he fails and commits wrong, he will be beaten by the floggings of men.

In the case of Satan, he did not say to Jesus about what will happen once Jesus rejects his offer because Satan’s offer to Jesus is wrong to begin with.

Let us read again how to worship Satan and why it is wrong for Jesus to do so:

“And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV)

God commanded Adam that he may eat all of the fruits in the Garden, save the one fruit of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” If he eats it he would surely die as a consequence.

"You are free..." - This was the command that God gave to Adam, "Free will".

 What is Satan’s way of temptation and deception?

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals

the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really

say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

Genesis 3:1 (NIV)

 The manner of deception by Satan is to reverse or overturn God’s commandment!

What did the woman say to the serpent?

“The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

Genesis 3:2-3 (NIV)

The way to worship God is “to obey” His commandments.

Eve knew otherwise and when she said “or you will die”, what did the serpent say to Eve?

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.”

Genesis 3:4 (NIV)

Satan’s way of deception is by reversing or overturning God’s Commandment.

So, when Adam and Eve fell into Satan’s deception, he got the authority to rule over the world. Therefore, the Devil or Satan had the authority to offer the world to Jesus, in order to successfully tempt him (Jesus).

 Why is it wrong to overturn God’s commandment?

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse- the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.                                         

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (NIV)

The reason why we should not add nor subtract from the commandments (that God gave) is that a decree of a blessing and a curse was already established.  If we obey God’s commandments, we will live under God’s blessing, if not; we will live under God’s curse.

This is why it is wrong to overturn God’s commandment and preach it to others because you are misleading people. You are leading them towards God’s curse.

Religions will say that Jesus was not tempted by Satan-but let us read what Jesus preaches.

If Jesus preached according to what God said in the law, then he did not worship Satan.

If Jesus preaches the opposite of what God had said then he did worship Satan and therefore accepted the offer of Satan as his offspring or agent in leading mankind astray

What was God’s strict law regarding The Ten Commandments? Did God allow anyone to change and even abolish the Commandments by replacing them with a new set of commandments?

“Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it,

but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.”

Deuteronomy 4:2 (NIV)

The Commandments given to Moses, (as the spokesman of God during his time) should be intact; no changes or revisions to be made. The Commandments must remain as they were.

What did Jesus do to the Commandments of God which must be strictly observed, with no addition or changes to be made?

“Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:" Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.”

Matthew 22:34-38 (NIV)

Only a commandment was given against the misuse of the Name of God.

“Love the Lord your God” – This is not written in any of the Ten Commandments of God!

This was a great deception made by Jesus to his people during his time! He was deceiving them to believe in a commandment that was not part of the Great Commandments of God!

What was really written in the Commandments regarding God?

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God,

for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.”

Deuteronomy 5:11 (NIV)

This was the commandment: Respect and do not misuse the Name of God! Again, “Love the Lord your God”- Jesus just made up his first commandment. What was the next greatest commandment according to Jesus?

“And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Matthew 22:39-40 (NIV)

The foregoing was never written in the Ten Commandments of God!

Jesus has totally revised and changed the Ten Commandments of God and replaced it with his own two commandments which he made up to deceive his people. He was supposed to lead them and not mislead them!

Maestro Evangelista says: since Jesus was referring to the Ten Commandments of God, what is one of the greatest Commandments of God that if you obey it you will receive blessings from God?

 The prophet like Moses will show us this very important commandment in the law.

"Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”

Deuteronomy 5:16 (NIV)

"Honor your father and your mother" –God had said before that if you obey this commandment to honor and respect (not only to love) your parents, He will bless you and give you a long and prosperous life on this earth. This is different from the “love your neighbor” as proclaimed by Jesus!

“so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”- With this promise of God if we obey His command, it is very clear that there is no more afterlife.  Our reward when we obey His commands is a long, peaceful, prosperous and healthy life here, in this world alone. No afterlife and this shows that the “heaven” that the religions preach is not true

God said that you should give “honor” to your father and your mother. What is Satan’s teaching regarding this Commandment? The reverse or opposite – “Hate your father and mother”.

What will Jesus teach his people regarding the Commandment of giving honor to one’s “father and mother”? Was Jesus sincere about the commandment that he made up to “Love your neighbor as yourself”?

“Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple.”

Luke 14:25-26 (NIV)

Jesus overturned one of God’s Commandments and even broke his own commandment of “Love your neighbor as yourself" when he taught to hate and give little value to one’s own father and mother, one’s own brothers and sisters, and even one’s own life in order to become one of Jesus’ followers!

Since Jesus chose to become Satan’s offspring rather than be the “seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15), it reasonably follows that he is the one who promoted lawlessness in the world.

Let us read God’s law on how evil may not proliferate:

You must purge the evil from among you. The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Deuteronomy 19:19-21

“You must purge the evil from among you. Show no pity” - because the evil person never felt pity for the evil he had committed against his fellow man.  That is why we should show no pity to him once judgment and punishment has been handed out. Once this law is applied, people will be afraid of committing such evil deeds ever again.

Did he (Jesus) not know this Commandment?

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'

Matthew 5:38 (NIV)

He knows about this commandment.  What will he teach about it?  Did he uphold the Law?

But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.

If someone strikes you on the right cheek,

turn to him the other also.

Matthew 5:39 (NIV)

He (Jesus) openly defied the Law!  He had broken the commandment; went against it and taught it to the people. He taught the people not to resist evil and the oppressors.Thisis another proof of Jesus worshiping Satan as he overturned God’s commandment about punishing evil!

This is one of the reasons why evil is proliferating in this world!  Jesus went against God’s teaching and commandment.

What does the commandment concerning “eye for eye, tooth for tooth” really mean?

The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,

according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful,

to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

to the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

Psalm 18:24-27 (NIV)

“To the faithful you show yourself faithful,” -This is the teaching that God wants us to observe in our daily lives, so that we may not be oppressed and exploited.  We should do to them what they intend to do to us, so that they may know that we will not tolerate their wrongdoings. This is the righteousness that God wants to be established here on earth.

What kind of events did Jesus bring into the world when he taught his satanic teachings (overturning God’s laws)?

 Learn if it has happened or not.

What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the early figs that I crave.

Micah 7:1 (NIV)

This is the economic crisis that the world is experiencing now. There is scarcity of goods and services, jobs, escalating sovereign debts and all the leaders of the world are doing what they can to prevent this crisis from getting worse. Jesus brought these because the institutions who preach his teachings have PLUNDERED HUMANITY.

The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains.

Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets.

Micah 7:2 (NIV)

All (those we know) who governed well have died either from accidents or from killings. It is also a time where people in high offices discredit each other for the sake of power.

Let us go to Micah 7:3 to read more of what Jesus brought into the world.

Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire - they all conspire together.

Micah 7:3 (NIV)

It is a time of corruption and the leaders of the institutions that people trust to uphold law and order are the first ones to break it because of their greed for money and power. Much worse, is that all of these powerful people conspire with each other to implement their agenda to dominate and control the lives of the people for their own personal gain.

This is happening around the world in our present time!

The best of them is like a brier, the most upright worse than a thorn hedge.

The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm.

Now is the time of your confusion.

Micah 7:4 (NIV)

“The best of them is like a brier, the most upright worse than a thorn hedge.”-There will be situations when the leaders, that people believed to be the best and upright who can save them from their economic woes and injustice, are even worse than a thorn hedge.  Instead of healing they add more wounds to their people.

“The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm.”-  We can also read here that their evil plans will be for naught as God will not allow it. God will send people who will put an end to it. These are the people who will assist His coming prophet.  We are now witnessing it happen in our time!

Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with the

woman who lies in your embrace guard the words of your lips.

Micah 7:5 (NIV)

It is a time of distrust. What is the key towards understanding thecause of the lawlessness?

For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.

Micah 7:6 (NIV)

These events began when the children were taught to dishonor their parents and man has the members of his household as his enemies.

 Who caused the lawlessness foretold in the prophecy?

“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

Luke 12:49-53 (NIV)

“They will be divided, father against son and son against father,” - it was Jesus who caused this division and thus is the promoter of evil and lawlessness. Therefore, he truly accepted the offer of Satan and became his offspring or agent in deceiving humanity.

Jesus can no longer be the culprit here as he had already admitted he brought division and not peace. This admission happened a long time ago.  Who perpetuates this teaching today?

Look how Jesus brought division- regarding Islamic militants and the surge of killings happening today in the Middle East, why do they commit such killings?

In the book of “The Noble Qur’an in the English Language” page 994, written by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Islamic University AL-MADINA AL-MUNAWARRA.

Descent of Jesus, son of Mary:

"I wish to remind the reader here that Jesus, son of Mary will be returning to this world before the Day of Resurrection.  He will return to become a leader of the Muslim nation as has been revealed in the Qur'an: (Chapter 43:61-64)… and as narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said: "By Him (Allah) in whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus) son of Mary, will shortly descend amongst you (Muslims) and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur'an (as a just ruler) and will break the Cross and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizya (a tax levied upon the non-Muslims who are under the protection of a Muslim government.  The Jizya Tax will not be accepted by Jesus and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative).  Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts."

(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol 3, Hadith No. 425)

“…and will break the Cross and kill the pigs’ - According to Islam, when Jesus comes he will break the CROSS- the symbol of Christian worship.

 And

“…and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative” - People of the world will have no option but to be a Muslim when Jesus comes.

Now we can understand how Jesus caused division with his teachings.   Most of the people of the world followed Jesus, marveled at his miracles and teachings.

The world is not aware that the one who offered power and authority to Jesus over the whole world was Satan!

Nonetheless, as we worship Jesus, we are now witnessing and experiencing the occurrenceof all the curses that God decreed when we follow other gods.

This means that Jesus accepted Satan’s offer: worshipped him by overturning God’s commandments and preached it to us thereby leading us astray from obeying God.  This makes us suffer under God’s curse.

Instead of establishing God’s righteousness on earth, Jesus established Satan’s lawlessness!

How did Jesus’ false and satanic teachings able to spread around the whole world?

When Jesus was still alive, what did he give to his disciples?

“When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”

Luke 9:1-2 (NIV)

Jesus gave to his disciples his power, the very same power he got from Satan. This same power was transferred to the religions from Jesus’ apostles and disciples.

Jesus’ satanic and false teachings that was preached by his apostles was put into writing and this is now what we call the “New Testament!”

The New Testament is the compilation of books and writings on how Jesus preached the teachings of Satan in overturning God’s commandments and statutes in the writings of the prophets in the Old Testament.

This does not mean that we should discard the writings of the apostles.  It is not because what they have written about Jesus is true, it because they have written half-truths about Jesus. This is why for every word of Jesus that the apostles have written, the prophet like Moses (Maestro Evangelista) shows us the words of God written by the prophets to confirm whether what Jesus said and what the apostles have written is the truth or not.

However, there is one book in the New Testament which was not written by an apostle of Jesus but by a prophet of God:

Who wrote the book of Revelation?

Is he an apostle of Jesus as claimed by the religions?

 Maestro Evangelista reveals to us the true identity of the writer of the Book of Revelation:

“I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”

Revelation 22:8-9 NIV

“your fellow prophets”- The religions assumed that the author of the book was the man they call "John, the Divine", an apostle.  However, the book of Revelation was written by John of Patmos, who was also a prophet of God.

“Worship God!”-Not Jesus.  Maestro Eraño Evangelista says: If Jesus had successfully fulfilled his mission as written in the prophecies and had not followed Satan; there would be no need for the book of Revelation.

God commanded the prophet John of Patmos to write the book of Revelation so that when His prophet like Moses comes, he (the prophet like Moses) will no longer write another book to reveal the truth about God’s Name and Jesus.  He will only explain it as what was already written is enough.  Thus God speaks the truth when He said that He will just put His words in the mouth of His prophet like Moses.

To understand this let us read carefully what was written in the verse above:

". And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. – Here in Revelation 22:8, the prophet John speaks about an “angel“ he had seen in a vision. As the prophet John was about to kneel at the feet of the ‘angel” he saw in the vision, what did the “angel “ say?

But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”

Revelation 22:9 NIV

“Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets” - The Angel whom the prophet John had seen in the vision never allowed him to kneel as he is just a servant of God or a prophet of God-

“Worship God!”- This is the message of the “angel” whom the prophet John had seen in the vision. Since it is a vision, it means that Prophet John is writing about a coming “angel or messenger” of God.  If we read the authority of the “angel” that the prophet John had seen in the vision, the angel said “I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets.”

This means that the angel who was seen by the prophet John is the coming of the prophet foretold by God.

Who is this prophet whose coming was foretold by God?

“I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren,

and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all

that I command Him.   And it shall be that whoever will not hear My

words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.”

Deuteronomy.18:18-19 (NIV)

God had spoken before in Deuteronomy.18:18- about the ONE prophet whom He will send “like Moses”; in whose mouth He will place His words. This signifies that the chosen one will not study the Bible on his own as God Himself will instruct him about His words.  God will send him to speak in His Name (or to reveal His Name) denoting that the entire message of the coming prophet like Moses is to reveal the Name of God and worship God alone.

The coming of the prophet like Moses is what the prophet John saw in a vision, indicating that when it comes to the book of Revelation, the religions have no authority to interpret it.  Only the prophet like Moses, who is no other than Teacher Eraño Evangelista can explain its contents.

How was the prophet like Moses considered by God as His “Angel?”

We can read in:

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD,

and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.

Zechariah 3:1 (NIV)

“he showed me Joshua the high priest” – Joshua is the name of Moses’ successor, this symbolizes the coming of the prophet whom God will send like Moses.

Joshua was able to let the Israelites enter the Promised Land thus being the one who finished what Moses failed to complete. 

The prophet like Moses is the prophetic Joshua mentioned in this prophecy, he is the one who will make people understand God’s laws or covenant especially the revelation of His great Name that God did not allow Moses to do. (Exodus 3:12-14).

The prophet Zechariah, just like the prophet John, also saw in a vision the calling of the prophet like Moses.

“standing before the angel of the LORD”,- Why is the prophetic Joshua or prophet like Moses standing before an angel of the LORD ? What does it symbolize?

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.  There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 

Exodus 3:1-2 NIV

“There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush.” – An angel of the LORD appeared to Moses, to inform him of God’s calling.

This is in Zechariah 3:1, and now we can understand why it was written that the prophetic Joshua stands before an angel of the LORD - this symbolizes the calling of the prophet like Moses.

God commanded Prophet Zechariah to write this vision so that when the prophet like Moses comes, he will no longer make another book, but rather explain how the former prophets were informed by God about his coming.

To continue:

The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebukes you, Satan!

The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you!

Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"

Zechariah 3:2 (NIV)

“The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebukes you, Satan!”– If we go back to what we have read in the book of Job awhile ago, we witnessed how God gave an order to Satan not to take Job’s life.  Just as God did then we can also read that He gave an order to Satan not to stand in the way of the ministry of His prophet like Moses.

This also symbolizes the continuation of the battle foretold in the Garden of Eden between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent (Reference: Genesis 3:15),

The seed of the serpent is no other than Jesus as he accepted Satan’s offer and preached his teachings of overturning God’s laws.  After he died his deception was continued by his apostles through their writings in the New Testament.  In turn, this was spread by the religions to the whole world.  (This is why in Revelation 12:9 we can read that Satan has many ‘angels’ or messengers –because his teachings were propagated by the religions.)

The prophetic Joshua here symbolizes the seed of the woman who will crush the head of the serpent (Satan) which means that he is the one whom God had chosen to lead all the people to righteousness and expose those who continue the deception of the serpent (Satan).

“The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you!”– Again why was Jerusalem mentioned?

He took the carved Asherah pole he had made and put it in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and to his son Solomon, "In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.

II Kings 21:7 (NIV)

This is the promise of God; He will place His Name only in Jerusalem only. Was God referring here is to the Jerusalem in the Middle East?

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.
Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God 
and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming 
down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
Revelation 3:12 (NIV)

“the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem” – why is it mentioned here as “New Jerusalem?”

Maestro Evangelista says: Since God will not change His promise that His Name will be placed in Jerusalem, so wherever His Name is proclaimed, that place will be called the “New Jerusalem.” 

Since the prophet like Moses, whom God had sent to speak in His Name is not Jew but a foreigner from the Philippines, an Island country in the East, it follows that God's Name will be proclaimed in that same country. In what distant land will the prophet like Moses, who will proclaim the Name of God come from?

They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty. Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.

Isaiah 24:14-15 (NIV)

It is written that the real true Name of God will be glorified in the East, in the Islands of the sea. This is because the man whom God chose as His prophet like Moses to reveal His Name comes from the island country in the East.

The name of God was already proclaimed by Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista to the whole world from the Island country of the Philippines through the websites www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info.

Since God had His Name proclaimed from this nation, it means that the Philippines is the ‘New Jerusalem’ mentioned by God in the scriptures!

“Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?" – Why "snatched from the fire”? Unlike Jesus who was anointed by God and was formerly within God’s teaching (but was persuaded by Satan), the prophet like Moses will be taken by God out of the deception of Satan. Maestro Evangelista was a former Christian when God called him to be His prophet like Moses and revealed to him his word in the scriptures.

Did God chose Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista to be His prophet like Moses?

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood

before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing

before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua,

"See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."

Zechariah 3:3-4 (NIV)

"dressed in filthy clothes" - The difference between the prophet like Moses and Jesus is that God knows that Jesus’ heart is not entirely good which is why God gave him a warning (2 Samuel 7:14) about being punished by the floggings of men once he commits wrong.

In the case of the prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista, it was not his heart which is unclean only his clothes meaning his status, he is an ordinary person like everyone else. What makes him special is the way he was chosen as it was prophesied long ago.

Thus, for any individual to question why a simple person like him was chosen by God, we ask this question:

“Why is it that a simple and ordinary person as Mr. Eraño M. Evangelista chosen by God to be His prophet like Moses to reveal all His true teachings in the scriptures and not you?”

And you, whoever you are, contemplate and think about that question. Be reminded that to question why he was chosen by God is ridiculous, preposterous and foolish to begin with, because you are questioning God Himself and you make yourself appear that you are more intelligent than God.

"Take off his filthy clothes" - His sins were taken away from him by God.

To continue:

Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban

on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.

Zechariah 3:5 (NIV)

He was given “a clean turban” – meaning he has been anointed by God.

To continue:

The angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua: "This is what the

LORD Almighty says: 'If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements,

then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give

you a place among these standing here.

Zechariah 3:6-7 (NIV)

As he was anointed, he was also given a condition. 

God always gives a condition (Blessing and Curse) to his prophets.

“'If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements” - this is the condition, to obey God and His commandments and decrees.

“govern my house  and have charge of my courts” " - he will establish the new House of God or new people of God.  This also means why King Solomon said the following about the coming prophet like Moses as a ‘foreigner’ in:

“As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel

but has come from a distant land because of your name -

1 Kings 8:41 (NIV)

This is the prophet like Moses who will come and speak about the great Name of God through the scriptures; he is not from the people of Israel, and will come from a far country…

for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm - when he comes and prays toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.

1 Kings 8:42-43 (NIV)

“for men will hear of your great name” – God’s "prophet like Moses" is not a Jew but a foreigner - manifested in our time in the person of Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista and the whole world was informed of God’s true Name thru the websites mentioned previously.

“when he comes and prays toward this temple” - The temple mentioned by King Solomon is no longer the physical temple in the Middle East. There is already a New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12) and the temple is no longer literal but symbolical because the foreigner will no longer build one but will directly reveal the Name of God.

This is why in Zechariah 3:7 God said that His prophetic Joshua or prophet like Moses’ reward is “will govern my house and have charge of my courts” because He will be in charge of the New House of God- The spiritual House of Israel!

Most importantly we can read that God said that the prophetic Joshua or Prophet like Moses will be rewarded with “a place among these standing here” – these are the angels of God that has been called from the beginning. This is one of the honors that will be given to the "anointed" once he completes the fulfillment of the prophecies.

Since the prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista has already fulfilled his task from God in proclaiming His great Name thru the scriptures to the whole world, he can now be considered as one entitled to be among those standing before God, as  AN ANGEL OF GOD!

We can now understand why the prophet John in the book of Revelation said:

“I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”

Revelation 22:8-9 NIV

“I fell down to worship at the feet of the ANGEL who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I AM A FELLOW SERVANT WITH YOU and with YOUR FELLOW PROPHETS” – This means God had shown the prophet John in a vision about how the prophet like Moses had explained the meaning of the visions written in the prophecies and had succeeded in making known His Name to the whole world and thus attain the title “angel of God”

What title goes hand in hand with the title “Angel of God?”

⁶One day the angels came to present themselves

before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 

Job 1:6 NIV

“One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD,” - This confirms that God is with His angels when He created the heavens and the earth. They are the ones whom God spoke with in Genesis 1:26-28.

How does God consider His angels?

Let us read another Bible version:

“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present

themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.”

Job 1:6(KJV)

The angels of God are considered by God as His Sons. And since the prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista has already fulfilled his task in proclaiming God’s Name.  He is now an “Angel of God” which also means that he has now attained the title to be called a “Son of God”

Will the "anointed" be alone in his task?

" 'Listen, O high priest Joshua and your associates seated before you, who are

men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

Zechariah 3:8 (NIV)

“your associates seated before you” – God will give the "anointed" other people who will help him in his task.  They are the few individuals who recorded all the Bible revelations of Maestro Eraño Martin Evangelista and uploaded it through the websites www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info.

What will be their primary task?

…I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

Zechariah 3:8 (NIV)
