1) Has the commission of carrying the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to the
world been
completed? How far does God expect it to go? Only HE knows. It has gone to
multiple millions.
It has gone into all continents. It is still going. I am preparing to speed up
its
proclamation to the world as we come in on the homestretch. But I DO NOT KNOW,
nor does any
but GOD know, where that finish line is! WE MAY BE CLOSER TO IT THAN WE REALIZE!
2) The CHURCH for this present era has been raised up. God's TRUTH has
been restored
to it. IF, and AS God may reveal any more truth, I will assuredly share it with
you. I have
done, and am doing, the best I can with God's help to help you all to GROW in
grace and the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am doing what I can to HIGH
PRESSURE
YOU into a DEEPER spiritual life with Christ, a deeper, more fervent PRAYER
LIFE.
Perhaps my job in these areas is not yet finished. GOD WILL KEEP ME ALIVE
AND
ON THE JOB AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME, and I will serve Him to my utmost as long as
He
leaves me FREE to do so, and gives me the breath of life.
I have shown you that the book of Haggai is a PROPHECY. Zerubbabel's
temple, to
which Jesus came at His first coming, was a TYPE of the SPIRITUAL TEMPLE (God's
CHURCH)
to which, in its resurrected GLORIFIED state, it will be the GLORIOUS TEMPLE to
which
Christ will come SOON NOW IN OUR TIME.
Zerubbabel, therefore, was the typical forerunner of one Christ would use
to build that
GLORIFIED SPIRITUAL TEMPLE--God's Church of this END TIME.
In Zechariah 4:6 and 9, God says of this former type: "This is the word of
the Lord
unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power (humanly), but by MY SPIRIT,
saith
the Lord of hosts." In Revelation 3:8, Christ says of the leader of today's
Church, "I know
thy works; behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
for thou hast
a little strength (only a little strength humanly), and has kept my word, and
hast not denied
my name." This Work in our day has not been done by human strength or power, but
by FAITH
and the POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT.
Further, "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house
(the first
temple); his hands shall also FINISH IT!" So far as I know, GOD HAS NOT RAISED
UP ANYONE ELSE
