That Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day, after being hung on a cross, having shed his precious blood for humanity to cover the sins of the world.
That he was sent by God to make atonement for us
That it was God himself who manifested, who was born as a child, lived, and dwelt among us, and died,
and was resurrected on the third day.
This is the power of the great awakening: the power of Christ's resurrection.
It is written that everything exposed by light becomes a light itself. And it is written, wake up, sleeper, arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
Be born again. Become resurrected with Jesus Christ.
Amen
Except the kjv REALLY fucked up by mistranslating "end of the age" as "end of the world"
That's a glaring misunderstanding of cultural idioms due and injection of european influence.
That one screw up caused fucked up booked like 'Left Behind' to be written and brainwash millions.
Kjv is good in many ways, once you get used to the shakspeariam dialect, it's just that the didn't understand the meaning of ages, or how the ancients used the sky as a sort of long count time clock.
An Age/Aeon is approx. 2000 years. Has nothing to do with the 'end of the world' in a literal sense.
Jesus did he would be with them till the end of the age, in a spiritual sense he was. The holy spirit came and opened their third eye (tongues of fire on their forehead) and they were able to comprehend what Jesus taught them.
Then many of them lived on to witness the end of the age, the 'rebellion' of the jews against rome, and the destruction of the physical temple, just as Jesus told them.
From that point on, it was finished. Age ended. And we went from Aries the sacrificial ram into Pisces, the fisher of men.
Now we have GEOTUS ushering in Aquarius, watch the water.
As Kappy said, we're entering a golden age.
Brother, I know what it's like to feel how you feel and part of what you said is true. But "do not forsake the gathering together of yourselves"
Too often do I see messages like yours condemning church itself, entirely.
Don't be deceived and don't be prideful.
There is a good church near you that NEEDS you.
Start reversing your thinking as a servant of God and his people because God NEEDS you to serve and teach them through HUMILITY.
I know that we have much room for improvement in our churches but let's not give up on them because we truly need each other - there are words for you in the church, there are entire sermons waiting to be heard by you, spoken by God through his servants. Don't overthink it man. It's easy to at least go in and sit down and listen, and using your discernment you can rightly divide the words being spoken to you through the sermon. Please brother, I'm writing this because I know Jesus is putting it in my heart to do so and I hope you can feel it too!
