Staying Focused Even Unto The End

When death approaches, people tend to go reflect upon their life and go deep in thought. Unbelievers likely contemplate their accomplishments and how empty their existence has been. Alternatively, the born again believer likely will think of all the people they know in this life that are lost and on their way to an eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Many will make a list of names to pray for and to speak with about Jesus.

When the rapture happens we that are alive and remain will be changed into incorruptible glorified bodies and will ever be with the Lord Jesus.  It is awesome to think about, but the leaving of this world in the rapture is similar to a worldly death in that we will be departing from this world.  If we die before the rapture then we that are born

again will be absent from the body but present with our Lord Jesus.  I feel my life here is coming to an end soon and have made a list of those that need to be born again. Clearly the most important thing in life is to be born again.  Otherwise we face an eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Our time as abassadors for Jesus here on earth is running out. Soon either by death or the rapture we will not have the ability to get the gospel out to the lost. We will have no more opportunities to share with the lost about Jesus. Think about that.

Jesus came with a simple message.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3 [KJV])


If this doesn't happen then a person is not going to see the kingdom of God. Some ask also, do we need to be baptized in water as Jesus was? In the book of Acts everyone that believed was baptized in water.   It is not legalistic to follow Jesus and the example we see in God's word. Debating this is wasting time.

Born again believers have a desire to reach the lost with the gospel that saves. We know the alternative which is eternity in hell for the lost. So then we should be spreading that good news.


Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. (John 12:24-26) KJV


Jesus makes it so simple.  If you prefer your life in this world over following Jesus then you are in serious trouble.  Jesus promises that if we serve Him we will be with Him and that our Heavenly Father will honor us for doing so.


How do we follow Jesus as a disciple?  We look at what he did and we obey the commands He gave His disciples. We abide in the word of God.


And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20) KJV


Be born again and be obedient to Jesus. Often we are so afraid of contradicting our own thoughts about doctrine that we think that we should not do things Jesus said we should do.Why is that?
Could it be an excuse to cover up a fear of the world's reaction to the truth of the gospel? That would be preferring the opinion of man over the opinion of God.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28) KJV


Instead of keeping the words Jesus gave us, becoming born again, and obeying Jesus by spreading the good news about Jesus and the gospel that saves, we tend to become ensnared by the world.  Even our church organizations can wastefully steal our time, money and thoughts.  Many have been decieved in thinking they are to serving God by serving the church building or organization that they attend. Many have been taught to tithe 10% only to that church or they are stealing God's money.  So out of guilt and for fear they listen to the man over them and ignore the homeless mother with children because "the church will take care of them".

Have we subcontracted all our duties as followers of Jesus to these organizations?

Hebrews 10:25 is a verse I am convinced is a reference to the Resurrection and Rapture event where we all will be gathered together unto Jesus on that day. This is one of many verses used by man out of context to guilt members into attending their state sanctioned 501(c)3 tax free corporation. Let us remember that it is Jesus that is head of the church. Not the state.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18) KJV

Also, we are free from Old Testament rules such as keeping the Sabbath and paying tithes(as described in the Old Testament). Only by applying Old Testament rules to the body of Christ can we justify keeping the Sabbath and tithing as was described in the Old Testament. The laws are written upon our hearts and the Holy Spirit is our teacher.

But we desire to meet up with other believers and praise and worship God and share testimonies and encourage one another.  And we want to give as the Spirit leads us to give. God loves a cheerful giver.  Does God love that many people give as the our church organization commands and then the givers get credit for that giving by obtaining a statement from the tax free church organization?

I don't know what God thinks of that, although the word instructs that when giving it should be like this:

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: (Matthew 6:3) KJV

So there is no particular guideline written that gives us a percent of money we are to give.  Everything we have belongs to the Lord. We have been purchased by Jesus. We should give cheerfully as the Spirit leads and God will bless that.

As believers our time here is transitory.  When we are taken in by lies about the word of God and worldly distractions we lose precious time and resources, and are blinded from truth. What else explains why there are so many that claim to believe in Jesus that do not understand that we are in the end times? Hey no big deal that my church doesn't teach on prophecy.  Prophecy only makes up about a 1/3rd of the bible anyway so who needs to know that.  Where's my pants?


We are instructed to deny ourselves and to follow Jesus. If we do that then we serve Him.

Are you following Jesus? Or are you without thought blindly following your religion, your desires, your way?

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:14) KJV

Reconcile what you believe with the word of God and come into agreement with God's word.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (John 8:31) KJV


Stay focused on what is most important in these last days.  Make sure you are born again.  Follow Jesus and serve

Him and our Father will honor you. That is a promise we can trust.

Are You Building Your House on Sand?

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7:26-27) KJV


As we grow in our faith we need to be careful not to build upon a strong foundation rooting out any lies so as not to further build upon sand.  I see clearly that Hebrews 10:25 is another reference of the hope of the coming resurrection and rapture of the church.  It is not a command to get you and your family off to the church building and sit there for 30 minutes listening to a sermon and give some money and sing a few songs.  I am not arguing that going to church is a bad thing.

Using God's word to manipulate and build your local church is building your house upon a foundation of sand.It is clear to me that "not forsaking the assembly" in Hebrews 10:25 only means you need to go to church on Sunday IF you take this verse out of context.  This verse is used to prove we are to "go to church". If after you read my arguments and biblical support you still maintain the belief that going to church is a command from Hebrews 10:25 then please correct me and send me biblical proof. Understand that I am not encouraging anyone to stop going to church.

Why is it we witness many faithful church attenders that will argue that Hebrews 10:25 is a verse that commands believers to go to church on Sunday or whatever day it is that the local church is meeting and if you do not then you are sinning and out of fellowship with God?  I believe this is the case because most preachers and teachers have believed that is the simple interpretation of Hebrews 10:25.

If you walk into most large churches and over a two month period you will hear the first half of Hebrews 10:25 at least once.  It is also interesting for me to see that in the bible there is no other verse that confirms this teaching that we are to not forsake going to church on Sunday or whatever day the local church meets.  Don't we as born again believers long to have fellowship with other believers?  I certainly do.  But I have no desire to be manipulated and guilted into building up a man's kingdom which many of these church buildings are.


Assuming that Hebrews 10:25 is a vague command for us to not stop going to church, how often do we see a vague command only mentioned once?  I don't know of any in the New Testament.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (2 Corinthians 13:1) KJV


The Catholic church was first in popularizing this interpretation of Hebrews 10:25 in order to further control their church members bolster church attendance. Some use the bible purposefully to manipulative and control and lord over their members.

Many others honestly believe this is a command we are to keep regardless of how dead that particular local church may be. This verse is disturbing to me because I believe God was pressing me to read the bible for myself after becoming born again and coming out of the Catholic church.


Also, lies about the bible are dangerous. My desire is to point out that we need to guard against lies about God's word otherwise we find ourselves on a slippery slope.  Some time back I was troubled to hear a friend telling another friend that Hebrews 10:25 says that we are sinning if we don't go to church on Sunday.  I was a bit baffled because I just assumed he would know that is not what Hebrews 10:25 says. This brother in Christ goes to a seemingly good Baptist church.

Then I asked him later about the rapture, and he went on to tell me that the word rapture is not even in the bible.  So you see this person not only did not see that Hebrews 10:25 is a reference to the rapture, but the same church that is teaching incorrectly on this also is bringing him into the bondage of condemnation and contributing to his spiritual blindness on these things.



In the New Testament there are three primary Greek words used for "gathering" and  "assembling"

Episunagoge is a noun and is used only twice in the New Testament. Episunago is a verb and is used only six times in the New Testament.  Sunago is a verb and is used 62 times in the New Testament and is a much more general word for gathering. At the bottom I have listed all the verses where sunago is used for a reference.

If you follow the definition and usage of each of these three Greek words you should see that everywhere Episunagoge is used (only two places) this is a reference to a complete gathering to Jesus at the Resurrection and Rapture of the body of Christ.  The six times we see the use of the verb episunago it is also clear that every gathering is referring to a gathering to Jesus.  Take a look for yourself. Finally the word sunago is used 62 times in the New Testament and is a general gathering.


First word we are looking at is:

episunagoge (ep-ee-soon-ag-o-gay') n.
1. a complete gathering
2. (especially) a Christian meeting (reoccurring for worship)
*Note that Strong's even placed his bias because of this verse to deduct incorrectly that the noun epsiunagoge could mean a complete gathering and be in reference to some reoccurring meeting (such as Sunday).  But nowhere in the New Testament is this logically deducted.

(2Thess 2:1 [KJV])
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

(Heb 10:25 [KJV])
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.




Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

the above verse has the word greek word elpis in KJV as faith: elpis (el-pece') n.
1. expectation

So we should hold fast the acknowledgment of our expectation.

Hebrews 10:24
 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

First off I want to start out by saying that this is written for the Jewish believers and during this time there were other Jews among the believers that were trying to get Jewish believers in Jesus to turn away from their new faith in Jesus.  The Sadducees were among the Jews in that day and they were known to not believe in the resurrection.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. Acts 23:8 KJV

We see in verse 25 that the verse is encouraging them not to abandon the belief in a resurrection as some do (like the Sadducees did) and more encouragement to exhort one another as you all see the day approaching.

What day do you think is being referred to here?  Being that "the day" is in the same sentence as the noun in the beginning referring to that total and complete assembling together which is the
Resurrection and Rapture of the body of Christ (that future day).

Don't abandon the complete gathering which is our expectation at the Resurrection (as the Sadducees for example do), especially as you see THE DAY approaching.

Again, what day? The time when the Resurrection will happen.



Second word we are looking at:

 episunago (ep-ee-soon-ag'-o) v.
1. to gather altogether (upon the same place)
2. to gather completely



(Matt 23:37 [KJV])
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Note: What is happeing in the above verse?  Jesus says that he often desires to gather the children of Israel together.

(Matt 24:31 [KJV])
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Note: Jesus is talking about the complete gathering of God's elect.

(Mark 1:33 [KJV])
And all the city was gathered together at the door.

Note: A complete gathering to do what: See Jesus.

(Mark 13:27 [KJV])
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Note: Jesus is talking about the complete gathering of God's elect in this parallel verse to Matthew 24.


(Luke 12:1 [KJV])
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is

hypocrisy.

Note: The verb "gathered" here applies to a very large number of people meeting up to see Jesus.


(Luke 13:34 [KJV])
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Note: Luke 13:34 is the parallel to Matthew 23:37 - Jesus says that he often desires to gather the children of Israel together.


Third word looked at here:

Sunago

sunago (soon-ag'-o) v.
1. (properly) to lead together
2. (generally) to gather together, to congregate
3. (specially) to entertain (hospitably)


Note: sunago is used 62 times in the New Testament from Matthew through Revelation.  I have placed each verse at the bottom of this email for your reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How strange is it that we are in a time when most churches in America do not touch on prophecy or question anything that benefits their enterprise they call "the church"?  We believers are living stones and we are the church.  Buildings are just buildings.

As someone believes a lie then they become spiritually blinded to some extent.  The more lies one believes the more the truth is not in them and the less their light shines.  When people acquiesce to the teachings of man over the word of God then spiritual blindness enters.  This opens a gate for false doctrine and for lies to flourish.

God is no respecter of persons so don't think that we cannot as believers become spiritually blinded by lies man teach either purposely or because they themselves have been convinced of something not by the word of God, but by man's doctrine.  Is it any wonder that many new believers that seem at first on fire for the word of God have their fire extinguished so soon and stop attending church?


Concluding thoughts:

Episunagoge (noun) is used two times in the bible and both times it refers the future event of the Resurrection and Rapture event (noun) which will be the first complete gathering of believers in the body of Christ to occur in the history of man. 

This is also the reason for the sparse usage of episunagoge. The noun form of episunagoge and the verb form episungago occur a total of 8 times and refer to a some kind of complete gathering together.  Also, seven of the eight verses it is obvious to most that there is a gathering to see Jesus or Jesus is describing a desire to gather the people together under the wing of a hen unto Him.

This is a simple, literal and least contrived of all explanations for Hebrews 10:25.  Hebrews 10:25 has too long been used to guilt people into continuing to attend dead churches.  Also, I think some good preachers also use this incorrectly.  Are you?  Please send your biblical support to me if you still disagree.


Do not read my words and take them as fact without doing your own study.  Most people are not in their bible much.  Collectively we love our tv more than our bible.  How many hours a day do most church goers watch TV and how many hours a day does the same church goer read and study their bible?


And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:10-11) KJV


Have you received the love of the truth?  Ask God when you are studying to help you and to show you the truth and trust that He will.


But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27) KJV

Jesus can reveal the truth about scripture as we remain in His word.  It is such and encouragement to know that we are disciples of Jesus if we continue in His word.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32) KJV

Keep watching and praying for our Lord Jesus to bring all believers together at the approaching resurrection of believers and removal of the body of Christ from this wicked world.
