The Revelation of the Great Name of God

and of the Testimony of Jesus, and the New City of God, the New Jerusalem and the Coming of the Foreigner of God

"Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever." - Ecclesiastes 1:4 (NIV)

The world will not end, it will have a new beginning. One people, one world and One God.

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)

The Descendant or “Son” of David?

Read this page in Filipino.

Will give him one tribe...

Revealed on August 22, 2005

We have now learned that Jesus was not the first to be called to undertake the mission.  It is from the failure of Solomon that Jesus was called to take up the unfulfilled mission of revealing or showing the Name of God to his people.  We will see if Jesus fulfilled the mission.

For us to determine the identity of the man promised (that will come from the house of David, the "one tribe" - 1 Kings 11:13) to continue the work of making the people know the Name of God, but first...

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 on Jerusalem only.

Let us first understand the manner in which God’s prophets are identified by their people, how are they easily recognized? Maestro Evangelista says it is in the prophets’ names that their missions are known.  From their own names they are sent to fulfill a specific work.  

Take for example, Moses, how was he named?

When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "I drew him out of the water."
Exodus 2:10 (NIV)

This was the name given to him, and what was his mission for God?

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."
Exodus 3:12 (NIV)

This is the mission of Moses for God, which is also the meaning of his name, "I drew him out of the water."  He is only to lead his people out of Egypt and God actually will do the miracles. If God did not open or separate the waters in the Red Sea to make them cross the distance, then Moses, by his name would not have fulfilled his mission.  He is not the "Moses" that was sent to take his people out of Egypt.  Since he was able to lead his people out of Egypt by crossing the waters that God had separated, Moses fulfilled the task or the "sign" that is also in his name.

Now, concerning the man who will come from the house of David, what was the sign given for 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, as it was in the case of Solomon.

"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.

What is the significance of the sign?  It had been misunderstood by the churches and the religions and became one of their fundamental teachings: the doctrine of the "virgin birth."  To get rid of any misconception regarding the sign, 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.

THE BIRTH OF JESUS

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.  Let's read about the meaning of the Holy Spirit in the Holy Bible?

THE MEANING OF 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.  and...

Then he said:
"Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. For he said,
1 Kings 8:15 (NIV)

and another...

Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Psalm 51:11 (NIV)

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 again.

Is it really true that the Holy Spirit is the voice of God?

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
Psalm 33:6 (NIV)

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)

Before God creates things, he makes a decree, and when God wants to say something to His people He makes His decrees known through the mouth of His 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 knew 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 - 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 and...

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.
Luke 1:31 (NIV)

And who was Jesus' father?

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 1:32 (NIV)

"will be called" - As you have read it, Jesus was only a son or a descendant of David not a real "son of God;" he was just a man.

Is it true that Mary was pregnant before she married Joseph?

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

Luke 2:4-5 (NIV)

Thus, the story of Jesus as told by the religions is not true.  From the time Jesus was prophesied until the time of his birth, it is now very clear that Jesus was only the son of Joseph, a descendant of David; born by a virgin, meaning born out of wedlock.  

This is the sign of the Messiah that will continue the mission of Solomon as God had promised in I Kings 11:13; that he is the last to come from his people, Israel; to show them the house built by Solomon, a house with the Name of God.

Considering the prophecy in II 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, Maestro Evangelista says Jesus was also punished by men, what is the proof?

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)

He was punished by men, what was his offense?

The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die,

because he claimed to be the Son of God."
John 19:7 (NIV)

For the last two millennia, the religions have taught us the doctrine that Jesus died for our sins.  In the Holy Bible, as it is written, this is not the case.  He was punished for pretending to be the son of God, and executed because of it.  The Jews in his time knew him better, more than the religions that came after them.  Who would you believe?

What were the circumstances that led Jesus to assume that he was the "son of God”?  Who made him believe and pretend that he is the "son of God?"  Was it Jesus' own intention, or was he influenced by another?
