of Revelation
Read this page in
Filipino.
The Great and Dreadful day of the Lord
Revealed on: October 29, 2005
Maestro says, we are nearing the "Day of the Lord. " What kind of day is it?
Is it
a good day; is it good for those who do not know the Name of God? Let us read
about it in the Holy Bible:
Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD!
Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light.
Amos 5:18 (NIV)
The people of the world, the religions and the scholars wait for this day. They
say it will be the beginning of the return of Jesus. Contrary to their
expectations, it will be a day of uncertainty.
Why?
It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him. Amos 5:19 (NIV)
It will be a day of peril, not a day of gladness that everyone is expecting. It
will be a day of danger.
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light -
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness? Amos 5:20 (NIV)
"darkness" - Why? Maestro says, it is explained in the Book of Joel.
Think about the disasters and troubles in the whole world at present - the
prophecies are nearing its fulfillment!
What is the "Day of the Lord" according to the Book of Joel?
What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left
the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten.
Joel 1:4 (NIV)
This is the introductory message. Who will be the first to suffer these kinds of
calamities?
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine;
wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips.
A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness. It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees.
It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white.
Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth.
Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD.
The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD. The fields are ruined,
the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up,
the oil fails. Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley,
because the harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;
the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree - all the trees of the field - are dried up.
Surely the joy of mankind is withered away. Joel 1:5-12 (NIV)
The people of the world will not find joy in our present time. There will be
drought and famine in the lands, disasters, calamities and most recently the
rising prices of commodities and global economic slowdowns.
Who will be next? Will there be exceptions?
Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings
are withheld from the house of your God. Joel 1:13 (NIV)
Even the religions will not escape God's fierce anger; their prayers will not be
heard.
Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders
and all who live in the land
to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. Joel 1:14 (NIV)
This is what religions tell the people to do, go to churches and temples and
pray. They can only mention about "your God." The Name of God is being revealed
at this time by Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista through the Internet.
What day is it really?
Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
Joel 1:15 (NIV)
Are we not experiencing these events at present?
Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes - joy and gladness
from the house of our God? The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins,
the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up.
Joel 1:16-17 (NIV)
Famine and drought... it is happening in parts of the world!
This is the prophecy; it is nearing its climax.
How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture;
even the flocks of sheep are suffering. To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures
and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. Joel 1:18-19 (NIV)
"fire" - lately, are we not experiencing the forest fires
in many parts of the world?
Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up
and fire has devoured the open pastures. Joel 1:20 (NIV)
This is what Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista has been saying all along regarding the
disasters we are experiencing presently in the world. That if we are not
experiencing "water" - meaning the floods and storms, we will experience
disasters with "fire" - wars and hardships.
What will happen next?
Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand - a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old nor ever will be in ages to come.
Joel 2:1-2 (NIV)
"Darkness" - uncertainty, full of danger and caution. This is the true
description of the "Day of the Lord." It speaks of future events that are
unparalleled in the history of man!
Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the Garden of Eden,
behind them, a desert waste - nothing escapes them. Joel 2:3 (NIV)
All will be affected by it.
They have the appearance of horses; they gallop along like cavalry.
Joel 2:4 (NIV)
This is war! There will be famine and finally war.
With a noise like that of chariots they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
At the sight of them, nations are in anguish; every face turns pale.
They charge like warriors;
they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course.
Joel 2:5-7 (NIV)
"noise like that of chariots they leap over the mountaintops" - it describes
modern attack helicopters and other type of aircraft.
This is already happening in other parts of the world: wars.
They do not jostle each other; each marches straight ahead. They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks. They rush upon the city; they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses; like thieves they enter through the windows.
Before them the earth shakes, the sky trembles, the sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars no longer shine. Joel 2:8-10 (NIV)
What does it mean? Whose army is it?
The LORD thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number,
and mighty are those who obey his command. The day of the LORD is great;
it is dreadful. Who can endure it? Joel 2:11 (NIV)
This is the day that the prophets speak about; God is coming on that "day!"
And no one is certain of peace.
"Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning." Joel 2:12 (NIV)
This is the message of God given before the people, through the prophets: Repent
and return to God!
Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity. Joel 2:13 (NIV)
Even with the intensity of the events that would happen on that "day," God will
still reconsider his punishment for us if we repent and return to Him. Is it
true?
Who knows? He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessing -
grain offerings and drink offerings for the LORD your God. Joel 2:14 (NIV)
Maestro says: Like in the days of Jonah, who was summoned to the city of
Nineveh, God was merciful to the people in the city, because they repented and
returned to God even when they were not given any instruction to do so.
Now, in our present time, there comes a man, sent forth by God; he had shown his
sign to us. God has a Message for us. We have read it through the revelation of
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista the explanations of the prophecies. We can also see
and experience the curse of God. We did not know Him because of the deception
and lies of the religions.
The Message of God is for us to hear the prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18-19) so that
we may know the way to return to God and receive blessing and rest from the
hardship in the world.
Is there a possibility that God will not exact His curse completely on us?
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says: we only need to talk to him and listen to his
revelations. He will instruct us what to do.
If we are able to do it, then we will know that he is indeed sent forth by God.
He will give advice and instructions of how we, the people of the world, can
return to God and find ultimate or lasting peace in this world, without the
religions.
And:
Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast,
call a sacred assembly. Gather the people, consecrate the assembly;
bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber. Let the priests, who minister before the LORD,
weep between the temple porch and the altar. Let them say, "Spare your people, O LORD.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?' "
Joel 2:15-17 (NIV)
This is one of the things the nations would have to do, but first, they have to
know God and acknowledge His Great Name.
God is giving us a chance, we will read about it later.
Will God be merciful on us if we will return to Him?
Then the LORD will be jealous for his land and take pity on his people.
Joel 2:18 (NIV)
The Prophecy or the Word of God is answering!
"his people" - Who are they?
The LORD will reply to them: "I am sending you grain, new wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully;
never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations. "I will drive the northern army far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land, with its front columns going into the eastern sea
and those in the rear into the western sea. And its stench will go up;
its smell will rise." Surely he has done great things. Be not afraid, O land;
be glad and rejoice. Surely the LORD has done great things. Be not afraid, O wild animals,
for the open pastures are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit;
the fig tree and the vine yield their riches. Be glad, O people of Zion,
rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness.
He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten - the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm - my great army that I sent among you.
Joel 2:19-25 (NIV)
We will receive the blessing, if we will acknowledge and return to God.
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
and you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed. Joel 2:26 (NIV)
This is the promise of God. If we will not heed the call that is given to us and
will not recognize Him, the curse will continue.
Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God,
and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed.
Joel 2:27 (NIV)
Until we are overwhelmed by the disasters, wars, famines and plagues that come
upon us.
That God is our only Savior, there is no other! How many times was it mentioned?
Surely God is certain of His promise! When we have returned and acknowledged
God?
"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions. Joel 2:28 (NIV)
The Great Name of God will be acknowledged by all the people of the world.
“Spirit” – the Word of God that is being revealed by Maestro Evangelista
“Your sons and daughters will prophesy” – they will come to know the true
teaching of God as prophesied before by the prophets, through the revelations of
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista.
Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
Joel 2:29 (NIV)
All will know the truth about the teaching of God that Maestro brings.
When everyone knows it, will they still go to the religions and churches? That
is one of the events that will happen soon.
No man will be able to deceive another with respect to the knowledge of God.
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke. Joel 2:30 (NIV)
All kinds of events (wars, disasters, famine, plagues and climate change) that
will certainly catch our attention and ponder about why these things are
happening all the time.
Until:
The Day of the Lord
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. Joel 2:31 (NIV)
How is this "Day" called?
the great and dreadful day of the LORD. Joel 2:31 (NIV)
We cannot describe the events that will happen on that "day!"
God gave us the blessing and the curse, but at present we are receiving the
curse. It is before us and God has given us time to know and return to Him.
If we do acknowledge Him, this is the only time that we will receive the
blessing he had promised; not until we have returned to Him.
With the uncertainties on that “Day,” who will be saved?
And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
Joel 2:32 (NIV)
Those who will call on the Great Name of God and will recognize Jerusalem will
be saved.
"in Jerusalem there will be deliverance" - which Jerusalem? Is this the old
city?
The reason the religions are trying to take control of a piece of the old city
and are fighting with each other is that they believe that it is still the same
city that is prophesied.
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says the "Jerusalem" that is mentioned in the prophecy
is no longer that old city. Is it true?
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)
"write on him the name of my God" – Jesus said that this is the sign of the
coming "prophet" of God, (having the true teaching that you are reading now) and
it is in our present time that the Name of God has been revealed. Why only now,
why not then?
Maestro says: because Jesus failed to show the Name of God to his people, and in
this prophecy he (Jesus) mentioned a man who will have the authority from God to
reveal the Name.
The New City of God, the New Jerusalem
"the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem" - This is not the old city
in Palestine. Maestro Evangelista says, the country from where the "prophet" of
God will come from will be the New Jerusalem.
In the Philippines?
Let us know if the country, the Philippines, will be the New Jerusalem.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and
the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. Revelation 21:1 (NIV)
"a new heaven and a new earth" - a time when the world is no longer under the
power and deception of Satan. This will be a new era.
"no longer any sea" - this is what Maestro said before, a time when we will be
united, "one people, one world and one God." All the people of the world will be
united, there will be no political borders and no visa requirements anymore, all
countries will be open to all.
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
Revelation 21:2 (NIV)
"the new Jerusalem" - a new city, not the old Jerusalem.
"coming down out of heaven from God" – the religions expected that the new city
will physically come down from heaven. Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says, this is
the realization and fulfillment of the prophecy coming from God who is in
heaven. This is God's promise being fulfilled.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling
of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:3 (NIV)
"the dwelling of God" – will there still be religions, temples and churches?
"the dwelling of God is with men" - God will be in our hearts and in our minds!
Who are they?
"They will be his people" – they are the people prophesied in
Zechariah 13:9 –
the new people of God who will call on His Great Name!
What will be their condition in the new city?
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or
mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelation 21:4 (NIV)
There will be no more suffering and curse! Life will be good.
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Revelation 21:5 (NIV)
This is a new beginning for the people of the world when we all return to the
true God!
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the
End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of
the water of life. Revelation 21:6 (NIV)
"To him who is thirsty" - Are we not “thirsty” or eager for the true teaching of
God?
"without cost" - Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista does not ask for money in return for
his revelations and teachings. He was sent by God to reveal His Words; there was
no instruction the prophecies in the Holy Bible to ask for anything in return.
"the spring of the water of life" – what does it mean?
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD,
the spring of living water. Jeremiah 17:13 (NIV)
God is the “spring of the water of life.”
He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my
son. Revelation 21:7 (NIV)
That is why we have struggled to learn about the truth in the revelations of
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista: the truth about God and of His Great Name in this
site.
We are the people who will be allowed to go in and to partake of the Promise
(and Blessing) of God in the new city. Who are the people that will not be
allowed to go in and to partake of the promise, in the new city of God?
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually
immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - their
place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Revelation 21:8 (NIV)
They will suffer the eternal curse, likened to a second death.
People only die once and will not live again,
but if they will not acknowledge God and still hold on to false teachings and
follow other gods, their names will be long remembered by other people as the ones
who did not return to God. They are without salvation and without respite.
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues
came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
Revelation 21:9 (NIV)
This is the time when the new city of God will be established.
"the bride" - Who is she or what is it?
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high,
and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that
of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. Revelation 21:10-11 (NIV)
The bride of God is the new city, the New Jerusalem. This is the establishment
of the new people of God.
"like" - Symbolic only.
It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the
gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There
were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three
on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the
names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Revelation 21:12-14 (NIV)
This is symbolic of the Philippines, which is the only country that is Christian
in the Orient or the Far East.
The Philippines has twelve "12" regions. (At the time of Maestro’s revelations.)
The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city,
its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was
wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length,
and as wide and high as it is long. He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits
thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls
were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was
jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth
sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz,
the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
Revelation 21:15-20 (NIV)
The natural resources mentioned are found in the Philippines.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl.
The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
Revelation 21:21 (NIV)
How is the Philippines called? The Pearl of the Orient.
I did not see a temple in the city, because the
Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. Revelation 21:22 (NIV)
No more religions, all of them will be destroyed. Only the teaching of God will
stand.
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it,
for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. Revelation 21:22 (NIV)
“the glory of God gives it light" – The Truth.
"lamp" – Symbolic, this is the title that will be given to Maestro
Eraño M. Evangelista, because he will reveal the true teaching of God to all the people.
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their
splendor into it. Revelation 21:24 (NIV)
"kings" - Why is there a mention of kings coming to the new city? This means
that the New Jerusalem is on the earth. It is not the miracle that the religions
promised to the people of the world: that the new city of God will physically
come down from heaven. This is a time when miracles are no longer going to
happen.
On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure
will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,
but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 21:25-27 (NIV)
There is still a book to be written, to continue revealing and preserve the true
teaching of God for all times. It will encompass the revelation of the
prophecies from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation of the Holy Bible.
Again let us read in:
He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick,
by man's measurement, which the angel was using. Revelation 21:17 (NIV)
The prophecy is that an "angel" will measure the new city. If it is prophesied
in the Book of Revelation, we must also find it prophesied before in the books
of the prophets.
"This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel,
and these will be their portions," declares the Sovereign LORD. "These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which is
4,500 cubits long, the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of
Israel. The three gates on the north side will be the gate of Reuben, the gate
of Judah and the gate of Levi. "On the east side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of
Joseph, the gate of Benjamin and the gate of Dan. "On the south side, which measures 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: the gate
of Simeon, the gate of Issachar and the gate of Zebulun. "On the west side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of
Gad, the gate of Asher and the gate of Naphtali. Ezekiel 48:29-34 (NIV)
This is the "angel" sent to measure the new city, and if the prophecy is still
found in the Book of Revelation, it means that it is not yet fulfilled.
And how will the new city be called?
"The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits. "And the name of the city from that time on will be:
The LORD is There ." Ezekiel 48:35 (NIV)
“The LORD is There” - The new city is no longer promised in the land of His
former people, it is now in the prophesied land in the far east: the
Philippines.
The New Jerusalem, is this really a promise from God? Maestro says, let us read
again:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and
the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling
of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelation 21:1-4 (NIV)
We already know about the people who will have the right to enter the new city
of God - those who will call on His Name.
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he
said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Revelation 21:5 (NIV)
"making everything new" - God will keep His promise to His people; when was it
prophesied?
"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Isaiah 65:17 (NIV)
God had indeed promised it before, and the religions never explained it to the
people.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy.
Isaiah 65:18 (NIV)
The city of Jerusalem already existed at the time this prophecy was given. The
general condition of the old city at present is not peaceful. It would mean the
prophecy refers to another city, a "New Jerusalem."
I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more.
Isaiah 65:19 (NIV)
This is the promise of God to His new people, no more suffering and death from
diseases and calamities. No more curse.
"Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years; he who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
Isaiah 65:20 (NIV)
This is the life full of blessing; longer life, and no more diseases and
plagues. Truly, a bountiful and prosperous city.
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy
the works of their hands. Isaiah 65:21-22 (NIV)
It will be a time of peace, security and prosperity.
Though the prophecy spoke of God's chosen ones, meaning there will be people who
will not be chosen by God.
They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them.
Isaiah 65:23 (NIV)
How will we know that God is with us during this time?
Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the
ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain," says the LORD. Isaiah 65:24-25 (NIV)
This is the time that God will answer our prayers.
Peace and prosperity, this is the era promised by God. It will happen if we will
return to the true God. Why will there be no more temples and churches?
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? Isaiah 66:1 (NIV)
When the people of the world finally come to understand that God does not stay
in temples and churches, the people of the world will find no need for these
places of worship.
God is the one who promised us, how we can attain it. What are the things we
have to do?
Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming.
It is close at hand - a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness.
Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old
nor ever will be in ages to come. Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the Garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste - nothing escapes them.
Joel 2:1-3 (NIV)
"Before them the land is like the garden of Eden" - this is where we are really
heading if we are to acknowledge God and return to Him.
If we stop and do nothing,
"behind them, a desert waste", it will catch up on
us.
What does it mean?
Who will stop the curse from happening? We can prevent the curse from happening.
Acknowledge God and call on His Name. Return to Him and obey His Commandments.
Is there a promise from God that we will eventually know Him?
Although there is a day, great and dreadful, that will surely to come, we are
not afraid, because it is inevitable. We only have to call on the Name of God
that Maestro Evangelista is introducing to us and we will overcome on that
“day.”
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista is just an email away from us. Let us ask him how we
can stop this dreadful event from happening. He is the only man, in our
generation that has lucidly revealed the message written in the Holy Bible, more
than any other man in history. He has shown us his sign and authority and had
proven it through this website. Surely we will not be disappointed by his
revelations.
Are we going to ignore the call of God through His prophet and risk that "day?"
Though we find yourselves presently doing great service to God, are we sure that
the god whom we serve is the true God, and not the "god in Jesus' name?"
Who will speak to the people in behalf of God in our time?
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. Deuteronomy 18:18 (NIV)
A prophet was sent forth; where will he come from?
"from among their brothers" - from among the Gentile nations, not from the
people of Israel.
"I will put my words in his mouth" - this is the sign and authority of the
prophet.
If we are to ignore the prophet:
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)
There will be only one prophet sent forth by God, and he will speak in God's
Name.
Who is the "prophet?"
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:4-5 (NIV)
He is the prophet sent forth by God to the nations; not exclusive to the people
of Israel.
"Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."
Jeremiah 1:6 (NIV)
"child" – without knowledge about the Holy Bible, God will teach him.
But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to
everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid
of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.
Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.
Jeremiah 1:7-9 (NIV)
This is the prophet promised by God.
What will be his mission for God?
See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot
and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."
Jeremiah 1:10 (NIV)
He will give counsel to the leaders and peoples of the world for us to have a new beginning.
When will the man that “God has put His Word in his mouth” come?
Maestro Evangelista will reveal to us the prophecies regarding that “day” from
the Holy Bible.
According to what they have done, so will he repay
wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes; he will repay the islands their due.
Isaiah 59:18 (NIV)
"wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes" - same as
"eye for eye" – A
decree of God.
In what manner
will the prophet come in our time?
From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.
For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives along.
Isaiah 59:19 (NIV)
"west" - they were the first to suffer God's curse to make them understand that
God is punishing us all.
"The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,"
declares the LORD. Isaiah 59:20 (NIV)
"The Redeemer" - there will be only one prophet sent to
lead the people of the world to return to God.
"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)
"and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth" -
He is the prophet whom God had promised in Moses' time.
"from this time on and forever" - the teaching of God revealed by Maestro
Evangelista will be with the people of God forever.
When will the "prophet" come?
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
Isaiah 60:1 (NIV)
When?
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Isaiah 60:2 (NIV)
This is the sign of the coming of the "prophet," he will come at a time when
nations can find no solution to the problems that will happen all over the
world. What should they do?
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Isaiah 60:3 (NIV)
The prophet has the only solution to the present problems in the world. He has
the solution of how we will achieve the lasting peace in the world and to end
the curse. When is that?
"Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.
Isaiah 60:4 (NIV)
This is the time when all women will be equal with all men in every country,
gender equality in terms of recognition and status in society, in our present
generation.
When the leaders of nations come to the prophet:
Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come.
Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the LORD.
All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple.
Isaiah 60:5-7 (NIV)
This is the time of peace and prosperity. What is the other sign?
"Who are these that fly along like clouds,
like doves to their nests? Isaiah 60:8 (NIV)
This is the vision of Isaiah. The reason, why Isaiah mentioned
"these that fly
along like clouds" - is that the fulfillment of the prophecy will not happen in
his time, but in our generation. It is simply people traveling inside an
airplane! The prophecy will indeed happen in our time!
Going where? To the New Jerusalem!
Surely the islands look to me; in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, bringing your sons from afar,
with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor. Isaiah 60:9 (NIV)
They will come to the place of the prophet to hear his revelations and counsel.
What shall we witness in these times?
"Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show you compassion.
Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night,
so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations - their kings led in triumphal procession.
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined.
"The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the pine, the fir and the cypress together,
to adorn the place of my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.
Isaiah 60:10-13 (NIV)
If they will listen to the advice given by Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, it will be
a time of peace and prosperity.
To those who have not believed in the prophet:
The sons of your oppressors will come bowing before you;
all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the LORD,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 60:14 (NIV)
They will finally recognize the prophet and return to the One True God.
"Although you have been forsaken and hated,
with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride
and the joy of all generations. You will drink the milk of nations
and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior,
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,
and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
and iron in place of stones. I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler.
Isaiah 60:15-17 (NIV)
This will be a time when all things are in abundance, blessings from God. The
leaders and the rulers will be righteous and just, no more corruption.
No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.
Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor.
Isaiah 60:18-21 (NIV)
This is the prophecy found in Revelation 21:1-5, regarding the establishment of
the new city of God, the New Jerusalem.
How will the new people of God grow?
The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly." Isaiah 60:22 (NIV)
"in its time" - There will be a time set for the fulfillment of the prophecies
of God.
This is how the new people of God will multiply in the world.
When the people finally see and hear the teaching revealed by prophet, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, they will all come to the place where the prophet is staying.
They will go to the new City of God, the New Jerusalem. In the Philippines!
Regarding the city of New Jerusalem... concerning the battle that will be put up
against the city, will it happen?
Let us read this first:
This third I will bring 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)
Before the prophesied nuclear explosions happen, Maestro Evangelista will reveal
the Name of the Lord, which is already before us. It is up to the people of the
world if they would still want to make the "dreadful" thing happen in the "Day
of the Lord."
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista will reveal the prophecy on that "dreadful" day:
A Day of the LORD
A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you.
Zechariah 14:1 (NIV)
This is the prophecy on the "Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord," - the Judgment
Day, a day of punishment!
Who will be punished? Maestro Evangelista explains:
I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be
captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go
into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the
day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of
Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west,
forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving
south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will
flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then
the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day,
without daytime or nighttime-a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there
will be light. Zechariah 14:2-7 (NIV)
This is the prophecy of the events that will happen on that "day."
On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the
eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter. Zechariah 14:8 (NIV)
We know already the meaning of the "living water" in
Revelation 22:17 and
Jeremiah 17:13.
And:
The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day
there will be one LORD, and his name the only name. Zechariah 14:9 (NIV)
God will be king over the whole world, it will happen soon.
The
people of the world will finally return to God and all will acknowledge His Name. What
will happen to the New City of God, the New Jerusalem?
The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem,
will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up and remain in its place, from the Benjamin Gate to the site of
the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses. It will be inhabited;
never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure. Zechariah 14:10-11 (NIV)
After the Jews gave up the West Bank to the Palestinians, this will happen:
This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought
against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their
feet, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. On that day men will be
stricken by the LORD with great panic. Each man will seize the hand of another,
and they will attack each other. Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth
of all the surrounding nations will be collected - great quantities of gold and
silver and clothing. A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the
camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps. Zechariah 14:12-15 (NIV)
This is the prophecy; God is showing us the events that will happen soon through
the revelations of His prophet, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista. The countries in the
Middle East will suffer most of the violence in that "day."
We are being given a chance for it not to happen. We need to acknowledge God and
His Name, and His Prophet and eventually return to God.
When everyone is acknowledging the one true God, there will be no more cause for
war. Lasting peace will be attained.
This is a chance the peoples of the world together with its leaders should not
ignore. Our last hope is God, our Savior.
How? Seek advice from Maestro Evangelista!
If the people of the world do return to God, what will happen next?
Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty,
and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Zechariah 14:16 (NIV)
"God, the LORD Almighty" - He is our king; we will have peace. If there will
still be peoples and nations that will not acknowledge and still hold on to
their false teachings, what will happen to them?
If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem
to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, they will have no rain. Zechariah 14:17 (NIV)
God has given His warning to the nations; they will receive no "rain" or
blessings.
We only need to learn about the true message of God that Maestro is giving. It
is the time that anyone going against Jerusalem must realize that the city
belongs to God.
The Fall of Babylon the Great
Maestro will now reveal the invitation God is giving to the people of the world:
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority,
and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:
"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons
and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
Revelation 18:1-2 (NIV)
"another angel" - the prophet that is revealing the prophecies here, Maestro
Evangelista.
"great authority" – Given by God.
"illuminated by his splendor" - he brings the Truth from God for all the people
of the world.
"With a mighty voice" - his teaching from God will be broadcast by means of
satellite communications and cable TV to the whole world.
As he gives his revelation, the Truth about God, the religions will be exposed.
That the god they are worshipping is not the true God.
This is the time when Babylon will fall, who is the king?
The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel
and will settle them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
Isaiah 14:1 (NIV)
Who will be united with the house of Israel? Is the house of Jacob different
from the house of Israel?
"Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel
and come from the line of Judah, you who take oaths in the name of the LORD
and invoke the God of Israel - but not in truth or righteousness -
Isaiah 48:1 (NIV)
The two houses are one and the same. What is the prophecy regarding this House?
The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel
and will settle them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel will possess the nations
as menservants and maidservants in the LORD's land. They will make captives of their captors
and rule over their oppressors. On the day the LORD gives you relief from suffering and turmoil
and cruel bondage, you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:
How the oppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended!
Isaiah 14:1-4 (NIV)
This will be the end of the man, who is called the king of Babylon in the Bible.
He will be finally unmasked.
The King of Babylon
The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, which in anger struck down peoples
with unceasing blows, and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression.
Isaiah 14:5-6 (NIV)
This will be the "Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord."
All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing.
Even the pine trees and the cedars of Lebanon exult over you and say,
"Now that you have been laid low, no woodsman comes to cut us down."
Isaiah 14:7-8 (NIV)
The man will be exposed. Who is the "king of Babylon?"
The grave below is all astir to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you - all those who were leaders in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones - all those who were kings over the nations.
They will all respond, they will say to you, "You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us." All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,
along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms cover you. How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
Isaiah 14:9-12 (NIV)
To read another version which will certainly point to the true identity of this
man:
King of Babylon, bright morning star, you have fallen from heaven! In the
past you conquered nations, but now you have been thrown to the ground.
Isaiah 14:12 (Good News Bible)
The King of Babylon is also the "bright morning star!"
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista will show us the man who was called the “King of
Babylon” and the “bright morning star” in the Holy Bible:
Who will admit it?
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Revelation 22:16 (NIV)
Jesus is the prophesied King of Babylon and the "bright morning star" in the
Holy Bible! The prophecy speaks of the fall of the religions!
Let us return to: How fast will be the fall of the religions?
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven.
He had great authority,
and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
With a mighty voice he shouted:
"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. Revelation 18:1-2 (NIV)
To whom did the Devil/Satan pass its power and authority? To Jesus!
For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
Revelations 18:3 (NIV)
It is no secret thing that the religions do exert influence on nations regarding
its decision-making processes.
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
Revelation 18:4 (NIV)
"another voice from heaven" - In our present technological age, this will be the
prophet speaking through satellite communications and Cable TVs to spread the
revelation of the Truth.
Why?
for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done.
Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts,
'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' Revelation 18:5-7 (NIV)
The pride and the things that the religions have done “in the Name of Jesus”
have reached its highest point!
Pride - In two millennia,
the religions have grown globally, they have
congregations in every country.
But what will happen in spite of its global existence?
Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
Revelation 18:8 (NIV)
How fast will the fall of the religions be?
"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared
her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power!
In one hour your doom has come!' "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no
one buys their cargoes any more - Revelation 18:9-11 (NIV)
“the kings of the earth” - How did they make money on the religions?
cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk
and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of
ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of
incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat;
cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men. Revelation 18:12-13 (NIV)
They made money both in the form of material and spiritual things -
"and bodies
and souls of men" - with the promise of paradise and heaven. This is the
deception which the people of the world have been subjected to in history. The
promise of eternal life!
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says: if we are to stay in heaven forever, why did God
create us in this world? The religions sustained the suffering of the people
with the promise of immortality! This is not true.
"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and
splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' The merchants who sold these
things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her
torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious
stones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn
their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her
burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' They
will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe!
Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin! Revelation 18:14-19 (NIV)
Regarding the fall of the religions, how many times was it mentioned?
Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets!
God has judged her for the way she treated you.' " Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large
millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence
the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.
Revelation 18:20-21 (NIV)
“a mighty angel” – Maestro Evangelista, is the "prophet" in our time. With his
revelation of the true teaching of God, the religions will be exposed that they
are not in the service of the true God!
What will happen to the religions?
The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters,
will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
Revelation 18:22-23 (NIV)
There will be no more “weddings” - sacraments, joy and merrymaking which are
currently being practiced by the religions. Will there be a nation spared?
In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints,
and of all who have been killed on the earth." Revelation 18:24 (NIV)
None. No one will be spared.
These will be the people who would hold on and keep faith with Babylon and its
king, Jesus!
They will all be destroyed, unless they repent and acknowledge God. Ask Maestro
how they will be able to receive forgiveness and salvation from God.
It is up to them. God has given them the way to save their lives in that "day."
For us to know that the "Day of the Lord" - The Day of Judgment - is near.
Maestro says, read and see how close it is. Notice that the prophecies in the
Book of Revelation are starting to happen!
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,
and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
Revelation 16:12 (NIV)
"great river Euphrates" - this is found in the country of Iraq. This is the time
of economic hardships. Even the leaders of nations cannot find a good solution
to the current global problems: wars, disasters, plagues and the price of oil...
"to prepare the way" - the time when the prophet of God will emerge.
Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth
of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false
prophet. Revelation 16:13 (NIV)
"dragon" - the dragon/Satan is still being mentioned, so the struggle in the
Garden of Eden has not yet reached its climax. This time God will not let Garden
be lost again to the dragon/Satan as it happened with Adam. The Garden is the
promise of God to His people.
"the mouth of the beast" - mouth of Jesus; his teachings, upon which the
religions have put their faith.
"false prophet" - the religions, because they preach the teaching of Jesus, not
of God.
Is it really true?
They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the
kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God
Almighty. Revelation 16:14 (NIV)
"performing miraculous signs" - the power of Jesus which has been given by the
Devil/Satan.
"great day" - the Judgment Day
"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his
clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."
Revelation 16:15 (NIV)
“Behold, I come like a thief!” - No one knows when this “day” will happen. Let
us continue with our readings to learn about the signs given by Maestro
Evangelista regarding the prophecy of the “Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord.”
“Blessed is he who stays awake” - This is the calling of God. To those who will
not acknowledge Maestro Evangelista's revelations of the truth about God and
about Jesus, who he really is; they will be shamed on that “day.” If we will
acknowledge Maestro Evangelista, the man sent forth by God to reveal the Truth,
God will call us “blessed.”
Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called
Armageddon. Revelation 16:16 (NIV)
"Armageddon" - That is why that day is called "Great" and "Dreadful", because no
one can say what will happen on that "day!"
The seventh angel poured out his
bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne,
saying, "It is done!" Revelation 16:17 (NIV)
"It is done!" - The time is set for the great prophecy to happen.
Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and
a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man
has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. The great city split into
three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon
the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. Revelation 16:18-20 (NIV)
These events are happening at present; the floods, earthquakes, extreme weather
conditions, and other disasters, giving testimony that the fulfillment of the
prophecy regarding the “Great
and Dreadful Day of the Lord” is near. These are the signs.
From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And
they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so
terrible. Revelation 16:21 (NIV)
Are the events mentioned by the prophets in the books of the Old Testament are
written in the Book of Revelation or not? Can it be averted or not? If we will
not heed the call of Maestro and acknowledge God, the Almighty and return to
Him, all of these horrible events in the prophecy will happen!
As it is written in the book of the prophets, God has shown how mighty and
fierce HE is in His anger. Is there a way we can appease God to withdraw His
great anger?
This is Maestro Evangelista's mission to the people of the world: to explain to
everyone regarding the great mercy of God. If we are to read the message of the
prophet, we will find the way for us to receive salvation. Let us know the way,
let us read what Jesus has to say about it:
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil
man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men
will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word they
have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will
be condemned." Matthew 12:35-37 (NIV)
It is by our words that we are judge, be it good or bad. It is where our lives
depend on.
Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him,
"Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." Matthew 12:38 (NIV)
His people asked a sign from him, since they are no longer sure about his
intentions, what was his answer?
THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAH
He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Matthew 12:39(NIV)
He did not answer the question directly; he did not give his own sign. What sign
did he give to his people? The sign of the prophet Jonah.
It is in this instance, that we should understand and accept the truth that
Jesus no longer had the authority to continue his mission during that time. He
had been “pulled-out” from his mission because of his failure. He is no longer
to continue the work of introducing the true God and His Great Name. He was told
to give another sign, which was not his:
"Jonah" - that there will be another to come bearing the sign of the prophet of
Jonah.
Maestro Evangelista says: Jesus mentioned the prophet Jonah who had been dead
for a long time. What did Jesus mean by it?
Maestro Evangelista will explain the reason why Jesus mentioned the prophet
Jonah. The sign of the prophet Jonah is mentioned only by Jesus, what does it
mean?
Let us read the story of the Prophet Jonah in the Holy Bible, Maestro
Evangelista adds:
What happened in the time of the prophet Jonah? What are the events during the
time of the prophet Jonah that is important with regard to the statement of
Jesus?
The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: "Go to the great city of
Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me."
But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa,
where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard
and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that
the ship threatened to break up. All the sailors were afraid and each cried out
to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. The
captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call on your God!
Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish." Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is
responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for
us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what
people are you?" He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of
heaven, who made the sea and the land." This terrified them and they asked,
"What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he
had already told them so.) The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they
asked him, "What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?" "Pick me
up and throw me into the sea," he replied, "and it will become calm. I know that
it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you." Instead, the men did
their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder
than before. Then they cried to the LORD, "O LORD, please do not let us die for
taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man,
for you, O LORD, have done as you pleased." Then they took Jonah and threw him
overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the
LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him. But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the
fish three days and three nights. Jonah 1:1-17 (NIV)
Though Prophet Jonah was sent forth by God to the city of Nineveh to announce to
its inhabitants about the Judgment that the city will be destroyed by God; he
ran away, and...
From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. He said:
"In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help,
and you listened to my cry. You hurled me into the deep, into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God. "When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
"Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD." And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
Jonah 2:1-10 (NIV)
Jonah finally obeyed to continue the mission that God gave to him...
Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: "Go to the great city of
Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you." Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very
important city—a visit required three days. On the first day, Jonah started into
the city. He proclaimed: "Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned."
Jonah 3:1-4 (NIV)
God had given His judgment regarding the city, and there was no instruction
given on how the city might be spared from its impending doom.
The Ninevites believed God. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the
greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. When the news reached the king of
Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with
sackcloth and sat down in the dust. Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh:
"By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them eat
or drink. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call
urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows?
God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we
will not perish." When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had
compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened. Jonah 3:5-10 (NIV)
Maestro said this is what Jesus told his people before that his mission had been
revoked and another will continue his mission that will come in a time of
uncertainties. The "generation" Jesus talked about then is our present time, our
present generation!
The man who will continue the mission and the condition of the world of his
coming will be likened to the time when God had given His Judgment on the city
of Nineveh. The time of the coming of the man sent forth is when the world is
like the city of Nineveh that had been given Judgment by God! Believe it or not!
Look around you, how peaceful is the world today? Are we not experiencing wars,
famine, disasters, plagues, at virulent diseases and others?
By reading the events in Jonah's time, though the judgment of God is upon us,
there is still hope that it might be withdrawn by God Himself. We are fortunate
in our time as Maestro is showing us how we can find a solution so that the
curse may be withdrawn.
Thereafter:
But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. He prayed to the LORD, "O
LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so
quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God,
slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."
But the LORD replied, "Have you any right to be angry?" Jonah went out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a
shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. Then
the LORD God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for
his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the vine. But at
dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it
withered. When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun
blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, "It
would be better for me to die than to live." But God said to Jonah, "Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?"
"I do," he said. "I am angry enough to die." But the LORD said, "You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not
tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. But Nineveh
has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right
hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about
that great city?" Jonah 4:1-11 (NIV)
Now we are given a clue as to how we can make the curse of God be withdrawn...
Repent and return to God! But this time the people of the world should be united
in acknowledging God and in the end there will be peace and there will be no
more cause to make war on each other.
This is the true message that Jesus intended to be known before by his people,
because he no longer had the authority to reveal its real meaning. So, it is
Maestro Evangelista's turn to reveal the meaning of Jesus’ statement when he
said "none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah."
To continue with the statement of Jesus:
The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and
condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater
than Jonah is here. Matthew 12:41 (NIV)
The event that happened in Jonah's time will happen again, and it is in our time
that the final judgment is given by God!
We need to learn from the example of the people of the city of Nineveh.
The question now is: Who is the "one greater than Jonah?"
He is Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, because he has shown to us the way for the
Curse of God to be withdrawn from us!
If the people of the world will unite and listen to the call of Maestro; "to
repent and acknowledge God," the curse will be withdrawn. What will happen next?
The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and
condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now
one greater than Solomon is here. "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it
goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Matthew 12:42-43 (NIV)
Jesus mentioned another, “The Queen of the South” in the time of Solomon.
And again, another, “one greater than Solomon.”
Who are they?
Who was the "Queen of the South" in King Solomon's time?
This is another sign which Jesus had given before; the religions never knew the
true meaning of his messages, because they are not the ones sent forth to
explain his testimonies!
What does Maestro Evangelista reveal to the statement made by Jesus regarding
the "Queen of the South?"
Maestro says, if it is mentioned in the statement of Jesus; then let us read the
events that happened in Solomon’s time:
When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test
him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan—with camels carrying
spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and
talked with him about all she had on her mind. Solomon answered all her
questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her. When the queen of
Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, as well as the palace he had built, the food on
his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes,
the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of
the LORD, she was overwhelmed. II Chronicles 9:1-4 (NIV)
This was the time of the visit of the “Queen of Sheba” to King Solomon, after
she hears of the news of the king’s greatness. The Queen went to the king to
hear the answers to her questions.
She said to the king, "The report I heard in my own country about your
achievements and your wisdom is true. But I did not believe what they said until
I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your
wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard. II Chronicles 9:5-6 (NIV)
This has some parallel to the work of Maestro, people do come to see him
regarding the teaching of God which he gives to people. Some do see him with all
the questions they can bring. In the end, they are left dumbfounded with the
revelation he had given them and left as believers in his revelations and
teachings of the one True God.
How happy your men must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand
before you and hear your wisdom! Praise be to the LORD your God, who has
delighted in you and placed you on his throne as king to rule for the LORD your
God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them
forever, he has made you king over them, to maintain justice and righteousness."
Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and
precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba
gave to King Solomon. (The men of Hiram and the men of Solomon brought gold from
Ophir; they also brought algumwood and precious stones. The king used the
algumwood to make steps for the temple of the LORD and for the royal palace, and
to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen
in Judah.) King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for;
he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with
her retinue to her own country. II Chronicles 9:7-12 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista brings the Word of God and other things that will make this
present world have a better future.
And what was given
before to King Solomon by God?
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. I Chronicles 22:9 (NIV)
He was given "peace," "prosperity," and "righteousness."
Jesus knew about the coming of the man that will have the sign of the prophet
Jonah and King Solomon.
The teaching of God that Maestro Evangelista brings will solve all the current
problems of this world.
Is it true that the "Queen of the South" brings prosperity?
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon
you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
"Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar,
and your daughters are carried on the arm. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the
nations will come. Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the LORD.
All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious
temple. "Who are these that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests?
Surely the islands look to me; in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, bringing your sons from afar, with their silver and gold,
to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.
Isaiah 60:1-9 (NIV)
This will also be the kind of prosperity we will receive if we acknowledge God and obey
His Commandments.
All of these will happen in an appointed time. It is up to the people of the
world to make it happen; repent and return to God, so that His blessing will be
given to us, regardless of race and nationality.
If we are experiencing these calamities, what does God want us to understand?
My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke,
because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Proverbs 3:11-12 (NIV)
God is only giving us His discipline. He created us, so it is only right to
return the favor by acknowledging Him as our Creator, our true God.
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Proverbs 3:13-16 (NIV)
With wisdom and understanding, all will come to us... And who will be heard by
God?
The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 15:29 (NIV)
God hears the righteous. We should be certain of our intentions this time when
we pray to God.
These are the revelation of Maestro Evangelista regarding the prophecy of the
“Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord.”
May this serve as a guide until the coming of that “Day.”
Note: On February 5, 2011, Maestro Evangelista revealed the manner in
which this "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord" will happen. He has been
given the Sign in which we may be able to know if the events described in it
are already happening or not. Go to:
The Signs of the Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord.
