Body of Christ

✨ Why Matthew 24 has nothing to do with the Catching up of the Body of Christ when this dispensation comes to its close

📖Matthew 24:40–41 “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

✅ 1. The Context of Matthew 24 Is Israel, Not the Body of Christ which was still a Mystery hid in God back here, first revealed to the Apostle Paul - The Apostle of the Gentiles Romans 11:13

📖Matthew 24:1-3 — The disciples ask Jesus about the temple, the end of the age, and His coming - And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

This is rooted in Jewish prophecy, not Pauline mystery.

📖Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: [9] And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

📖Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

📖2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more

Jesus answers and references:

🔹Daniel’s prophecy (v.15),

🔹The holy place (temple),

🔹The Sabbath (v.20),

And tribulation language tied to Israel’s prophetic program - Daniels 70th Week.

📌 Note: The Body of Christ had not yet been revealed. It was still a mystery hidden from the prophets (Romans 16:25; Ephesians 3:5–9). The Body of Christ did not exist, was not present, and the Catching away (Rapture) was not yet taught - Israel were not looking to be taken to Heaven, they were looking for a promised eternal city/Kingdom to come to earth.

🔹Isaiah 9:6–7 – speaks of the Messiah ruling on David’s throne.

🔹Jeremiah 23:5–6 – a righteous King will reign and execute justice in the earth.

🔹Daniel 2:44 – God sets up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.

📖 Acts 1:6-7 “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

The disciples, all Jews, were still expecting a literal, earthly kingdom promised in the Old Testament — one where Israel would be restored and rule under the Messiah.

The Lord Jesus Christ does not correct their expectation of a restored kingdom; He simply tells them the timing is not theirs to know (Acts 1:7).

✅ 2. The "Taken" Are Taken in Judgment, Not in/to Glory

📖Matthew 24:40–41 — “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

Many modern day sensationalist prophecy teachers assert this refers to the Catching away of the Body of Christ, but that’s not true nor consistent with the text. 

📖Matthew 24:37–39 “...so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood... the flood came, and took them all away...”

In Noah’s day, those who were taken were taken in judgment (drowned in the flood), and those left (Noah and his family) were preserved and entered a new world.

🔁 So likewise in Matthew 24:

🔹The "taken" are those removed in judgment at Christ’s Second Coming.

🔹The "left" are those who survive the tribulation and enter the millennial kingdom 

📖Matthew 25:31–34 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:).

🔹Luke 17:37 – Proves The “Taken” Are Taken to Death

📖Luke 17:37 — “And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”

The disciples asked, “Where are they taken?” and Jesus replies with a vivid image of corpses and birds of prey—a symbol of mass death and judgment.

Parallel with:

📖Revelation 19:17–18 — “...Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings...”

These “eagles” (vultures) are invited to feast on the slain enemies of Christ at His Second Coming—a picture of wrath, certainly not rescue.

✅ 3. The Catching away (Rapture) Is a Mystery, Not Found in Matthew 24 and was exclusively revealed to Paul, not the 12

📖 Ephesians 3:1–5 “For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given ME to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit…”

📖1 Corinthians 15:51 “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed...”

📖1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 “...the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up... to meet the Lord in the air...”

Paul speaks of being taken up to be with Christ, not left on earth to suffer His wrath.

The catching away (or rapture) pertains to the Body of Christ—God’s heavenly people—who must be taken to their eternal home in heaven. In contrast, Matthew 24 describes events that occur on earth and are specifically related to Israel—God’s earthly people—during the time of tribulation

✅ 4. Those Left in Matthew 24 Enter the Earthly Kingdom

📖Matthew 25:34 — “Then shall the King say unto them... Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you...”

The "left" are the righteous Jews and Gentiles who came to faith during the tribulation (Everlasting gospel Revelation 14:6-7) who successfully endure and survive the tribulation.

They are not caught up to Heavenly places but rather enter the millennial kingdom—an earthly reign promised to Israel under Christ (Isaiah 2:2–4, Zechariah 14:9–16).

📖Matthew 19:28-30 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. There are no tribes or nationalities in the Body of Christ - Neither Jew nor Gentile but a New Creature

This is the opposite of the Catching away, where the Body of Christ are taken to be with the Lord in heaven. He came in the clouds to call Paul, He will come in the clouds to collect us

📖2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, ETERNAL in the heavens.

The Body of Christ is not waiting for a kingdom on earth, we are a heavenly people (Philippians 3:20) and will be taken to glory before the wrath of God is unleashed 

📖1 Thess 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

📖Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

📖1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

The “last trump” in 1 Corinthians does not refer to one of the seven trumpets of Revelation, which were not a mystery. Thus, the “last trump” of the Body of Christ happens before the first trumpet of Revelation ever sounds

1 Corinthians 15:52 / 1 Thessalonians 4:16 — The trumpet is a call to gather the Body of Christ to meet the Lord in the air.

Revelation 8–11 — The trumpets are judgments, unleashing plagues, war, and destruction on the earth to which we are not appointed.

📌 One is a signal of hope and transformation; the other is a warning of wrath and judgment.

📖1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

📖Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

📖2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to MY gospel: 9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

📖2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

These things will happen and tomorrow is not promised to anyone, you have a choice about where your never-dying soul will spend eternity — in the glory of paradise with Christ, or in eternal torment, burning in the lake of fire. The good news is this: Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Believe this gospel of grace from your heart, and you are saved in that very moment — fully, freely, and forever 1 Corinthians 15: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

ANOTHER CLOSER LOOK INTO PROPHECY, DANIY'EL 2

Daniel 2:

[32]This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

[33]His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

[41]And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

[43]And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

For decades agents of Satan are at work creating another Al human hybrid, machine and humans mixed together by microchip implant, artificializing human organs through mechanical and biochemical, and just recently by having intimate relationship with Al. In many countries microchips implant are already in use. Elon Musk is busy merging AI and human brain on process and it's humanity's rebellion against the Most High. Elon Musk's AI human genetic is purely against the fundamental plan of Edenic order.. 

We are told to use Scriptures as our standard guide with which we measure our beliefs and to expose every evil plan of satan. Verse 43 of Daniel 2 says, "they will NOT adhere/cleave to one another just as iron does not mix with clay." And then in the next verse we see YaHUaH DESTROYING all the kingdoms of this world - iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. Only YaHU'aH's kingdom shall stand for ever. The scripture tell us that pride always leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall. And Hashatan because of pride, by wanting to be like the Most High, he became Satan ! [Isa. 14:12-15] 

Angels also became devils [Matthew 25:41] and were cast down along with Satan because they did not stay within the limits of authority YaHUaH gave them. Brothers and sisters, this could potentially destroy humanity. Do not conform to the pattern of this world no matter what as it is written Romans 12:12. Even if their inventions would make the deaf hear, the paralyzed walk, or the dead live! 

As we witness the rapid advancement of AI and biotechnology, we must remember that our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator, and that any attempts to tamper with or control humanity will ultimately meet with divine judgment soon.

Revelation 18:23. And the light of a candel shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegoom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; FOR BY THY SORCERIES were all nations deceived.

BY THE SORCERIES OF BABYLON ALL NATIONS WERE DECEIVED. The Greek word for sorceries in verse 23 is pharmakia [far-mak-i-ah]. According to the Thayer Greek Dictionary pharmakeia is the use or administering of drugs; poisonning, and sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it. If you put the original Greek pharmakeia in place of the English word sorceries the end of verse 23 would say, FOR BY THY PHARMAKEIA WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED! Pharmakeia is where we get our English word PHARMACY! Pharmacy is a well organized and professionalized system that administers poisonous drugs. 

The Bible reveals that Bavbylon will deceive all nations by the use of pharmacy that is in connection to magical arts and idolatry. Magical arts has its deep roots in witchcraft and the occultic world. We don't have have to do a deep Bible study to know that Satan is directly behind the magical arts and God's people should have nothing to do with it. In general those involved in sorcery, witchcraft, and magic are known to use magic potions to heal, deceive, poison, or kill someone.

Originally Answered: Is the Messiah's real name, Yeshua or Yahshua? I have a Bible with the sacred names in it that translates it to Yahshua… but some folks say it's Yeshua.

Well - from my POV, Jesus isn’t the messiah at all. But you are asking a simple enough question about transliteration of names from Hebrew into English.

Important to know:

Hebrew is not English. Hebrew is not LIKE English. English is actually closer to GREEK than it is to Hebrew.

The only information we actually have about the ‘real name’ of Jesus is from GREEK, in the New Testament. NOBODY knows what this guy’s ‘Hebrew name’ might have been, and in fact, at that particular time and place, it is POSSIBLE that the Greek version in the New Testament actually IS his ‘real name’. Jews at that time sometimes (sometimes) gave their kids Greek names. Philo of Alexandria is one example of a well known historical Jew with a Greek name.

So IN GREEK, in the New Testament - the closest ENGLISH version would be something like IESOUS.

That final ‘s’ is likely a Greek addition - assuming this is a transliteration into Greek of an original Hebrew name. Masculine Greek names would take that ‘s’. Hebrew wouldn’t.

So MAYBE the name was more like ‘IESOU’.

Also, that initial I would LIKELY have been yod in Hebrew - which would enter English either as Y (if moving directly from Hebrew to English, OR as ‘J’ (if moving from Hebrew into Latin, through GERMAN, and then into English).

Changing a Hebrew yod (Y) into an English J is REALLY common. MOST of the names you are familiar with from your English language Bible which start with ‘J’ are actually ‘yod’ (Y) in Hebrew - for example:

Jacob is Ya’acov.

Jeremiah is Yirmiyahu.

Joseph is Yosef.

Jotham is Yotam.

and Joshua is Y’hoshua.

So - another point: Hebrew has a letter called ‘shin’. Sometimes this letter has the sound of the English ‘sh’, and sometimes it has the sound of the English ‘s’. So that ‘s’ in the middle of that name is likely actually a shin, and IN HEBREW, probably was pronounced like ‘sh’ which is more common than ‘s’ for that letter.

So -

IESOUS could very well be brought into English by:

Yeshu (which is a known nickname for Joshua)

It could ALSO be brought into English as

Yoshua (Joshua)

or as

Yehoshua (also a valid English possibility for Joshua)

All those versions are perfectly good versions of the SAME name.

And if somebody wants to emphasize that the YH syllable at the beginning is a ‘theophoric’ (a god-name element) from the Four Letter Name of God by spelling it ‘YAH’ instead of ‘YEH’ or just Y’H, then that’s fine too.

Hebrew doesn’t consider vowels to be actual LETTERS, and the Hebrew alphabet doesn’t have any.

What I am trying to explain to you, is that - from the original Hebrew point of view - there is literally NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL between ‘Yeshua’ and ‘Yahshuah’.

None.

It’s just that the second spelling is somebody trying to be clever and cute, by (over) emphasizing the connection between a VERY COMMON name element in Hebrew names (part of the Name of God) and that same element in this PARTICULAR name - as if that meant something.

Hebrew names with either YH or EL are routine. Both are ‘theophoric’ elements. A ‘theophoric’ element is a name with part of a ‘God name’ in it. This is COMMON in that region, in many different cultures. Here are some examples of a few Hebrew names with ‘theophoric elements’:

DaniEL (EL is ‘God’)

MichaEL (EL is ‘God’)

ELiJAH (has BOTH EL and YH- ‘jah’ is actually ‘YH’)

ELisha (has EL)

JeremiAH (has the YH)

Joshua (has the YH - in Hebrew, Y’hoshua)

Judah (YH - in Hebrew, this is Y’Hudah)

The English versions of these names do not invariably ‘show’ that those theophoric syllables are present. The only thing different between ‘Yeshua’ and ‘Yahshua’ is that the second spelling is being manipulated to SHOW you, the reader, this theophoric element - which is NOT RARE.

So ‘Jesus’ is a perfectly good English transliteration of the GREEK IESOUS, if that name gets moved through from Greek to English by way of German or maybe French (a common, COMMON route for many words).

And ‘Joshua’ is a perfectly good ASSUMPTION for a Hebrew ORIGINAL which might end up as IESOUS in Greek - although the original could have been Yeshu’ instead - which is sort of like saying ‘Tom’ is a pretty good version of Thomas.

Basically, if somebody is trying to tell you that Yahshua is somehow different in any IMPORTANT way from Yeshu or Yeshua, that person is blowing smoke.

It’s not actually different, and the difference you are seeing is not important.

Also, Jesus just MIGHT have actually been named ‘IESOUS’. It’s not impossible.

By the way, the name ‘IESOUS’ was actually not all that rare as a given name in Judea at the time. It shows up in burial box inscriptions and in common surviving literature, like legal records, as a name.

IESOUS is commonly taken as a Greek version of the Hebrew name Y’hoshua (Joshua) or Yeshu (a shorter version of Y’hoshua).

Maybe a better question might be: why do you think it is important to know some kind of ‘exactly right’ name in the first place? Doesn’t everybody already know who you are talking about if you use the name ‘Jesus’?

Jesus is a translation of the Latin Iesvs, which is a translation of the Koine Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iesous), which is a translation from the Hebrew ישוע (Yeshua) but since Jesus’ native language was Aramaic he likely used ܝܫܘܥ (Isho). Since Koine Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic were all commonly spoken in first century Palestine it is presumable that Jesus would have recognized Iesous, Yeshua, and Isho as his

It doesn’t matter. We don’t know for sure EXACTLY how his name was pronounced during his human lifetime, or how that name (which was not rare) was pronounced in reference to anyone else at that time and place. We are approximating what we think it is. There are still arguments over this today.

I use “Yahshua”. Yah- is the first part of the Father’s covenant name, Yahweh. It means salvation of Yahweh. Yeshua is just as good and likely. Techinically, the “a” at the end shouldn’t be there; it is a “glottal stop” usually indicated by an apostrophe in English, hence “Yahshu’”. The “a” was added over

Those are just two alternative spellings, equally valid.

First of all: spelling wasn’t even invented until the 17th or 18th century. You could argue that Shakespeare was one of the most literate persons of his time, and he spelled his own name differently on three different pages of his will.

Secondly, we don’t know how his name was written with Hebrew letters or pronounced in his native Aramaic of the time. All we have is a Greek transliteration; the New Testament was written in Greek. One of the Gospels seems to have been written by a native speaker of Aramaic, judging from the poor grammar, b

Originally Answered: Which one is the real name of the Messiah, Yeshua or Yahusha?

I know that some intend to honor Jesus by using the name Yahshua. Yah or Yahu is an abbreviation of YHWH, the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible. This short form “Yah” appears by itself in a few places in the original Hebrew, as in Exo. 15:2, Psa. 94:12, etc. It also appears, as “-yahu,” at the end of some Bible names, as in the Hebrew of Elijah (Eliyahu) and Isaiah (Yeshayahu). It even appears as “Yeho-“ at the beginning of some Hebrew names, as in Jonathan (Yehonatan).

But the problem with Yahshua is that this name never appears anywhere in the Bible. And from the point of view of the H

That is like asking is the correct spelling Jonathan or Johnathan? Rebecca or Rebekah? The truth is, nobody knows how He spelled it in Hebrew. If you look up “Yeshua” on the wiki you will find many different spellings of the name translated Joshua.

The spelling at the time of Joshua the son of Nun was Yehoshua, but in the late temple era, the time of the Messiah the common spelling was Yesua, but even the spelling Hoshea was sometimes used. All of these would translate into English as “Joshua” as well as other spellings.

Yeshua was a Jew of Hebrew descent who spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. Why would he have been called “jesu”, “issa”, “iesous”, or “jesus”? He wasn’t Roman, he wasn’t an Arab, he wasn’t Greek, and he certainly wasn’t Mexican. And yet he’s often depicted with long hair, wearing a toga, and no tallit!

His name was Yeshua, and names are important. We read in Luke 10:17 and Mark 16:17, the devils were expelled in his name. Acts 3 and 4, the healing occurred in his name.

You will find that he will answer to all those names as well as Jesus. He is from the father whose name is “I AM". Which means that he is everything.

Don't get bogged down with names just find Jesus as time is swiftly running out.

He will have a specific name when he returns to begin the millennium but until then you can use any of those names.

Just look through the scriptures and you will see how many names God has.

A confirmation of this is God said;

God has allowed temporary names to be used to access his salvation benefits if the motive is right.

Most people don't even realise that the only name that is desecrated today is the name “Jesus Christ”. This in itself should tell us something.

A: That’s a bit like asking what the correct name for Russia’s capital is: Moscau or Moscow?

In a sense, both Jesus and Yeshua are correct: they’re how his name is transliterated to English and Hebrew respectively. And in a sense, both are probably incorrect: they spoke Aramaic in Galilee at the time, so his name would probably be Isho.

Yahushua and Yahshua do not.

Yeshua simply means Salvation!

. Yehoshua is gotten from the combination of Yah (the Name of God, Psalm 68:4) and Yeshuah meaning Salvation

Yehoshua simply means YAH is Salvation or Salvation of Yah and it is the true name that will save us!

Originally Answered: What is the real name of Jesus, Yeshua or Yahushua?

Jesus’ name in the New Testament, written in Greek, is Iesous. This is the Greek translation of his native Aramaic name, Yeshua. it is not exactly the same as Joshua, but close. Almost as if you’re calling someone Josh instead of Joshua. Jesus and Joshua are basically the same name, just minor differences in how the word was written and pronounced between the successor of Moses, living over a thousand years before Jesus lived, and a Jew living in Palestine during Roman era. Both names have the same meaning, “Yahweh saves.” Over time, the same name might gain minor differences in how it’s writt

THE COUNCIL OF NICEA – THE COUNCIL THAT CREATED JESUS Christ 

The origin of the “Savior” – Later becoming the person worshipped today as Jesus Christ

Ptolemy 1 Meryamun Setepenre (c.a. 367-283 B.C.E- Before Common Era) (aka Soter) (“Soter” means savior) became the first European pharaoh of Egypt through military force led by Alexander the Greek (a.k.a Alexander the Great). When Ptolemy became pharaoh of Egypt, he wanted the Egyptians to consecrate him as a god. He wanted to be called a god because that was the title all of the pharaohs of Egypt were called prior to him. However, the people of Egypt refused to call him a god because they knew the only reason he became a pharaoh was through force, so in “305 BC -Ptolemy took the title of Pharaoh, taking the Egyptian name Meryamun Setepenre, which means “Beloved of Amun (Amun means God) Chosen of Ra(Ra means God)”, and because of the Egyptians refusal to acknowledge him as a God, he began killing the people of Egypt, which caused the Egyptian priests at Memphis to give into his request by agreeing to consecrate him to priesthood, in order to save their own lives.

The key words in the above passage to keep in mind during your reading:

Meryamun, Setepenre, Soter, which are words that were used to create the fictitious character of JESUS CHRIST in AD by Roman Emperor Constantine (Meryamun, Setepenre, Soter were used in B.C). The images of Ptolemy below, which are similar to the images that are depicted as “Jesus” today, were forced upon the Africans and were ordered to be worshipped by the people of Rome. Let us continue to A.D.

Serapis Christus Greco Roman c.a 135 B.C.E. The marble image in the London museum is the image they use of Christ (Jesus) today. Christus was also the nickname for Serapis.

What is Serapis? (Origin of JESUS CHRIST)

Ptolemy’s rule was to create a deity that would be worshipped by both the Egyptians and the Greeks. He created “Serapis “, the made up Graeco-Egyptian god that was invented in the 3rd century B.C., portrayed as Greek in appearance, but with Egyptian accessories, representing both wealth and resurrection.

“Egypt, which you commended to me my dearest Servianus, I have found to be wholly fickle and inconsistent and continually wafted about by every breath of fame. The worshippers of Serapis here are called Christians and those who are devoted to the god Serapis (I find) call themselves Bishops of Christ. Hadrian to Servianus 134 AD.”

Constantine and Arius

Constantine the Greek (a.k.a Constantine the Great) Roman Emperor from 306 to 337, is known for being the first Roman emperor to be converted to Christianity which strangely enough, Arius of Libya (256-356 AD) born of African descent centuries after Ptolemy 1, had a problem with the Roman empire teaching the Africans and the people of Rome to worship a statue and celebrating death.

He was considered a heretic, a professed believer (of YAHUAH), who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church (what the religious authorities usually controlled by government deem as the truth). Because he started attracting so many followers due to his teachings that were contrary to the Romans, Constantine called the council by summoning all the bishops to discredit Arius, The Council of Nicaea.

During the time when this meeting was called upon, there was no mention of Jesus Christ at all; no man had ever existed by the name JESUS Christ, and an important fact is that this all took place Anno Domino (AD) (which Christians claim means after the death of Christ) but in Latin means ‘in the year of the lord’. The name Jesus didn’t exist before the meeting was called (read the statements made during that timeframe). It was only after this that they presented to the people the name JESUS CHRIST.

What Lord are they referring to? Kings have always been referred to as Lords or gods.

If Jesus didn’t exist during the time this meeting took place nor ever heard of whom are people worshipping today? Serapis Christus?

Nicean Creed – Jesus Christ is born

Nicean creed which became the statement of the Christian faith was written decreed and sanctified by 318 Roman Catholic bishops at the council in 325 AD some believe this transformation took place “Council of Chalcedon” 451AD.

“We believe in one G-d the Father all-powerful of all things both seen and unseen one Lord Jesus the Son of G'd the only begotten from the father, that is from the substance of the father, god from god, light from light, true god from true god, begotten not made, consubstantial with the father, through whom all things came to be both those in heaven and those in earth for us humans and for out salvation he came down and became incarnate became human suffered and rose up on the third day went up into the heavens is coming to judge the living and the dead and in the holy spirit” The origin of the Trinity

The authorities shut Arius down and threatened him with death to keep his mouth shut. They positioned the creed during the time when people started becoming aware of the lies and deception, and ordered all books to be burned; destroying all ancient writings, “no evidence no argument”, and the outcome was the transformation from Serapis Christus, which means Christ the Savior, to Jesus Christ by edict of Emperor Constantine in 325 AD.

THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA ADMITS THE TRUTH BEHIND CHRISTIANITY

Christianity as we have it today is not a form of spirituality but a prison cage born in Babylon. It is a rebranded paganism. The Catholic Encyclopedia have much to Say concerning this Religion of the Heathens:

“It was British-born Flavius Constantinus (Constantine, originally Custennyn or Custennin) (272-337) who authorised the compilation of the writings now called the New Testament. After the death of his father in 306, Constantine became King of Britain, Gaul and Spain, and then, after a series of victorious battles, Emperor of the Roman Empire. Christian historians give little or no hint of the turmoil of the times and suspend Constantine in the air, free of all human events happening around him.

In truth, one of Constantine's main problems was the uncontrollable disorder amongst presbyters and their belief in numerous gods. The majority of modern-day Christian writers suppress the truth about the development of their religion and conceal Constantine's efforts to curb the disreputable character of the presbyters who are now called "Church Fathers". (Catholic Encyclopedia, Farley ed., vol. xiv, pp. 370-1).

There it is, plain admission from the “source of Christianity” the Catholic Church that the very “Church Fathers” invited to the Council of Nicaea were not men of Yahuah but disreputable pagan priests or “presbyters” who worshipped many different gods.  So “who were” these preachers running around the Roman Empire dreaming up all kinds of various “gods” to worship that today’s Christian Church considers “fathers of their faith”?   Below is how they were described…

"...the most rustic fellows, teaching strange paradoxes. They openly declared that none but the ignorant was fit to hear their discourses ... they never appeared in the circles of the wiser and better sort, but always took care to intrude themselves among the ignorant and uncultured, rambling around to play tricks at fairs and markets ... they lard their lean books with the fat of old fables ... and still the less do they understand ... and they write nonsense on vellum ... and still be doing, never done." (Contra Celsum ["Against Celsus"], Origen of Alexandria, c. 251, Bk I, p. lxvii, Bk III, p. xliv, passim)

These pagan “preachers” invited to formulate the new religion at the Council of Nicaea were “rustic fellows teaching strange paradoxes” to the ignorant uncultured fools of that day at pagan fairs and markets in Rome. These men were not the mighty men of Yahuah and descendants of Abraham/Isaac/Jacob. No, these men literally created “Christianity” from “fat old fables”. 

The Catholic religion and its infinity of saints were created as a means of manipulation and business. It is a duty to make the truth known and the truth will set you free.

𝟯. 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. Public deeds can be measured, but true repentance, motives, and faith are judged by God alone (1 Samuel 16:7; 2 Corinthians 5:10). That’s why our posture must be one of humility and reverence when any precious soul passes to their rest.

𝟱. 𝗪𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱. Over a billion people looked to him for guidance. This is a moment to point them to Christ, the true and unchanging Shepherd (John 10:11).

𝟲. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 - 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀. “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls…” (Proverbs 24:17). Jesus wept for Jerusalem and weeps over every soul lost in darkness.

𝟳. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Nowhere in the New Testament is there a command or example of a singular, universal human head of the church. Jesus alone is “the head of the body, the church” (Colossians 1:18).

𝟴. 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 “𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.” “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9). Yet the title “Pope” literally comes from papa, meaning “father,” a direct contradiction of Christ’s instruction.

𝟵. 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘆 - 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. In Acts 15, James leads the council. In Galatians 2:11, Paul corrects Peter publicly.

𝟭𝟬. 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. Matthew 8:14 reveals he had a wife, and in Acts 10:25- 26, when Cornelius bowed to him, Peter immediately said: “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” He never allowed anyone to treat him as more than a fellow servant.

𝟭𝟭. 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. The Bible declares, “Let God be true but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4). Even Peter made mistakes and denied Christ. No man is above the Word.

The Bible says this power would “think to change times and law.” The Roman Church openly admits to changing the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first (Sunday), removing the second commandment on images in some catechisms, and splitting the tenth. But no man or institution has divine authority to alter God's Ten Commandments (Psalm 89:34; Matthew 5:18).

𝟭𝟱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗮 “𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱” 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟳𝟵𝟴. Napoleon’s general captured the pope, ending papal political supremacy. But prophecy said the wound would be healed—and now, the whole world follows with wonder (Revelation 13:3).

𝟭𝟲. 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟳 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁. This impure woman (symbol of a corrupt church) is clothed in purple and scarlet, wealthy, and guilty of spiritual fornication with kings. This matches the Roman Church’s history of blending with worldly power.

𝟭𝟳. 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 warned wolves would enter the flock after his death. “Not sparing the flock…” (Acts 20:29). Apostasy soon followed, and Rome rose in power.

𝟭𝟴. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 “𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗶𝗻” 𝗶𝗻 𝟮 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘆. He sits in God’s temple (church), exalting himself. The pope is called “Holy Father,” receives worship, and claims the ability to forgive sins -things belonging to God alone. (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4).

𝟭𝟵. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼-𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲. The pope is both spiritual leader and head of state - a fulfillment of the beast combining church and state.

𝟮𝟭. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗻. Jesus said, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve” (Matthew 4:10). Reverence, bowing, and titles of holiness should never be given to any human leader.

𝟮𝟯. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Jesus rebuked the religious leaders for “making the word of God of no effect by your tradition” (Mark 7:13). Scripture alone must guide our beliefs and practices - not man-made decrees.

𝟮𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 - 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆. God sanctified it at creation (Genesis 2:2-3), wrote it in stone (Exodus 20:8-11), and never changed it. Sunday worship is based on tradition, not the Bible.

𝟮𝟱. 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆𝗹𝗼𝗻. Revelation 18:4 is God’s urgent call to leave false systems of worship: “Come out of her, My people.” Many sincere Christians are in the Roman Church, and God longs to lead them into full truth (as He does for all of us).

𝟮𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘀’ 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. Revelation 14:6-12 warns the world to worship the Creator, reject the beast, and keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

𝟮𝟳. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗰𝘆. Revelation 13 describes a second beast (America) enforcing false worship in cooperation with the first beast (the papacy). We are nearing the time when these events will escalate.

𝟮𝟴. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. As the world looks for unity and moral leadership, the next pope may take bold steps to blend political and religious power.

𝟯𝟬. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲. Ephesians 4:15 calls us to share boldly, yet kindly. Truth without love is harsh, but love without truth is hollow. We must proclaim both.

Revelation 13:18 says, “Let him who has understanding calculate the number… it is the number of a man.” This points prophetically to a system that claims divine authority. The Greek word “antichristos” (ἀντίχριστος) means not only "against Christ" but also "in place of Christ" - a perfect description of papal claims.

𝟯𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 “𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹.” The Catholic Mass claims to be a re-presentation of Christ’s sacrifice. But Hebrews 10:10–14 says, “By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” Repeating the sacrifice denies its finished work.

𝟯𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀. Scripture forbids praying to the dead (Deuteronomy 18:10–12), and says, “There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Mary was certainly blessed, but now she rests in the grave awaiting the resurrection.

𝟯𝟱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀 -𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻. “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Luke 5:21). Confession to a human priest, as practiced in the confessional, is not found in the New Testament church.

Amid all the confusion of earthly powers, Christ remains central. “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession” (Hebrews 4:14). No pope, priest, or potentate can take His place - for He alone is worthy.
