The Daily Word of Righteousness
Keep My Commandments!, continued
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:17)
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12)
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14)
Notice carefully the above three statements from the Book of Revelation, the one book bound with a curse on anyone who adds to it or subtracts from it:
"Which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
Because of the destructive model known as Dispensationalism we suppose that the above three passages from the Book of Revelation are referring to Jews who have the testimony of Jesus Christ, because Christians are not supposed to be keeping any commandments. Dispensationalism resolves the numerous inconsistencies in its doctrine by saying "this passage refers to Jews"; or "this is Jewish ground." What a wretched business this is! Why don't we just refer to any passage that inconveniences us as "Jewish ground"? Why not throw out the whole Bible as "Jewish ground" and be done with it!
The whole New Testament is Christian ground and is to be obeyed!
The true Christian keeps the commandments of God and has the testimony of Jesus Christ according to the Apostle John, who wrote the Gospel of John, three epistles, and also the Book of Revelation from which we are quoting.
"Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Who is John referring to, Jewish Christians? But what about the Gentiles? Can it be said of them that they are the people who have the faith of Jesus but do not keep God's commandments? This is absolute nonsense. If this is the case, the Book of First John is written only to Jewish Christians.
If First John is written only to Jewish Christians, then we Gentile Christians need to cut it out of our New Testament along with the hope of seeing Him and being like Him when He appears. Are you ready to cut First John out of your New Testament? If not, you had better start keeping Christ's commandments if you desire to be found in Him when He returns.
The Lord Jesus said to the Jew, Nicodemus, "You must be born again to see or enter the Kingdom of God." This was said by a Jew to a Jew and recorded by John, the Jew. Is this therefore "Jewish ground"? Are Jews the only people who must be born again to see or enter the Kingdom of God? It is time to wake up. We Christians do not understand the new covenant! We have been deceived royally by the enemy.
Satan desires to prevent us from keeping the commandments of the New Testament because when we do Christ is formed in us. When Christ is formed in us Satan's kingdom has come to an end. Satan has no fear of the Church, only of Christ being formed in the Church. This is why in the twelfth chapter of the Book of Revelation Satan is attempting to devour, not the Church but He who is to be formed in the Church as the members keep God's commandments.
To be continued.
