A Short Story of Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista
Revealed on August 22, 2005
Here is a man who has been gifted with the knowledge and understanding of the
message of the Holy Scripture. He is the key that will unlock the mysteries
hidden for generations in the Holy Bible as they relate to our times.
A Filipino, born in 1943, Eraño Martin Evangelista (or as we refer to him as
Maestro Evangelista) grew up in Pandacan, a district of the City of Manila,
Philippines. To close friends and associates, he seems to be a contradiction.
He is a simple, unassuming and ordinary man, yet endowed with a keen insight
and a discerning mind, fond of dishing out wit, allegory and humor to lighten
tense, serious moments.
While his achievement in formal schooling would be modest by most standards,
Maestro Evangelista has acquired a consuming interest and aptitude for
experimentations related to science and technology that eventually developed
into a career as an inventor. (His latest project involves the development of a
non-conventional and environmentally friendly energy source. He holds the
patent of AERONOX, an internationally certified anti-pollution and fuel saver
device for internal combustion engines, that is considered phenomenal and timely
by experts in view of its effectiveness relative to the present urgent need for
global action to mitigate air pollution.)
Though a former active member of the Bible-believing Iglesia ni Cristo
(Church of Christ), a Philippine-based denomination, he has not had much
exposure in reading and studying the Holy Bible because unauthorized members are
discouraged from doing so.
His initiation into his mission happened unexpectedly in his home in Las Piñas City, a suburb of Metro Manila. On July 16, 1990, while hosting a
luncheon for a group of friends that included some foreigners, he was subjected
to an experience that would forever change his life. The details can be gleaned
from his recollections below:
At about 12:00 noon that fateful day, while his wife was preparing to serve
lunch for the guests, Maestro Evangelista withdrew into his bedroom to refresh
himself. While inside, a bright light from above suddenly filled the room and
visions appeared to him: that of a strong earthquake which was to take place
later that day and which was to claim many lives; a war in the Middle East; and
a major volcanic eruption that would happen in the Philippines.
During lunch, Maestro Evangelista appeared so perturbed by the vision that a
foreign guest, Elmor Sumaraga, took notice and started to ask what was
happening; what he could do to help.
Maestro Evangelista then described the vision in straightforward manner,
"Well, I saw a vision just now. Today there will be a strong earthquake. Many
will die." The visitors could not believe what they heard, and Maestro
Evangelista then related the details of the vision.
At about 3:45 P.M., shortly after the guests have left, everything started to
shake gently at first then violently after a few seconds. "Hey Daddy, here's
the earthquake you predicted!" shouted his son. "Yes. It's a strong one and it
will claim many lives," was his reply.
Later that day, radio and TV stations confirmed the earthquake (In Baguio
City, north of Manila) and the initial casualty counts. As days went by, news
accounts continued to report the widespread destruction wrought by the quake,
and the many lives lost just as Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista saw in the vision.
On August 1, 1990, while having lunch with his Kuwaiti friend, Jashim
Al-Sherida, at a restaurant in Parañaque City, another suburb of Metro Manila,
Maestro Evangelista narrated his vision about the coming war in the Middle East
that would involve the invasion of Kuwait. Jashim did not take him seriously,
believing that that was impossible at that time. To prove his point, he even
invited Maestro Evangelista to visit Kuwait, saying "You know, Brother, it's
easier to get inside Paradise than to enter Kuwait."
Kuwait is oil-rich, was not in conflict with any country and strict with
foreign visitors. No one would have ever thought that it would be an object of
a military invasion. The following day, Iraq attacked and invaded Kuwait and Jashim hurriedly called Maestro Evangelista by phone, "What you said to me has
happened. My country was invaded by Iraqi soldiers."
"Yes, and now you yourself cannot even enter Kuwait" was Maestro Evangelista's
reply. "What happens next?" His Kuwaiti friend was anxious. "It's going to be
a brief war. I have seen it in my vision," Maestro Evangelista appeased his
friend.
As it turned out, the war was indeed brief and ended when the United States
and other allied forces defeated the Iraqi army in February 1991.
June 1991 was another fateful day for Maestro Evangelista as his vision of a
major volcanic eruption became a reality. Mt. Pinatubo, a volcano located in
the province of Zambales, Island of Luzon, in northern Philippines, though long
dormant for about five hundred years, suddenly erupted with very little
forewarning. The eruption was so massive and strong that for several days the
atmosphere was hazy with volcanic ash falling for hundreds of kilometers.
This was the turning point of Maestro Evangelista's life. He felt so
perplexed and found himself in a big dilemma. He was shocked that the visions
shown him all happened in such short span of time. Confused and scared, he
prayed for Divine guidance, "Lord God, if You want me to do something, please
talk to me, maybe through the Holy Bible. Or else, people might think I've
completely lost my mind."
God's answer was clear and unmistakable! The pages of the Holy Bible started
to open and specific passages were being shown right before his very own eyes.
Through the passages, God was giving Maestro Evangelista the task of revealing
to the people of the world His true teachings and most importantly to reveal the
Name of God. (His mission and the bases of his mission will become clearer as
one reads through this book.)
Maestro Evangelista is not re-writing the Holy Bible nor is he advocating a
new religion. He only speaks of God's messages as written by the prophets in
the Holy Scripture. God reveals the messages to him at the right time,
including the specific verses in the books of Holy Bible to read and the words
to say. Maestro Evangelista does not claim any authority to make new ideas and
opinions of his own. He believes that the Holy Bible is self-sufficient, and is
the sole basis and criterion in clarifying the messages that God wants to
communicate to the world.
To the people of the world, Maestro Evangelista makes a fervent appeal that
we all open our hearts and minds to the Messages from God presented through this
book. We should listen and carefully understand, evaluate the teachings, and
see how they may all fit together into one whole grand theme - The Truth.
Everyone is endowed with eyes to see, ears to hear, and intellect to discern
what is real from what is not, and to distinguish the truth from the lies.
Sadly, these human faculties have been dulled over time, clouded and misled by
an unseen sinister force. In our generation, we are fortunate that Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista is here to reveal the True Name of God and His True teachings
according to the timing prophesied in the Holy Scripture. With this
understanding, we may be able to see our way clearly.
Let us all seek so that we may find the Truth that has eluded humanity for so
long - the Truth that will ultimately lead us to the True God. Let us seek so
that we may come to know God's true Name and the True Teachings that we should
obey. Doing this, we may at last be freed from the Curse that has been cast
upon the world - the Curse that has been the reason for the untold sufferings
humanity have endured for generations.
At last, may we all find and enjoy the "Blessings" that will only come as a
reward for knowing the Truth from His Messenger, and obeying them for the
greater Glory of God.
