Classic Christianity – The Mystery – Part 3 – 8-6-25

The Mystery – Part 3 – 8-6-25

~ Paul was given a mission by God, to go into the world and preach the message of the gospel to EVERYONE. When you are on the front lines, all eyes are on you. God used Paul, the least of the Apostles, to share the message of Truth with others. It was not to be kept hidden anymore. It was to be made known, and Paul was making it known. That anyone in Christ had the riches of Jesus in them. And that was available to ANYONE who placed Faith in Jesus. And Paul was not alone in teaching this Truth, for it was given to the other apostles and prophets too. Yet Paul was the one that was leading the charge in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit was using Paul to set the record straight.

Today, things are not what they appear to be. The things taught in seminaries are lies. There is no other way to put it. Those that are graduates of seminaries, are taught by hand-me-down liars that Satan has used to subvert the church. And the proud, are those that think that going to more theological training is something special, yet it is nothing more than more indoctrination in the lies of satan and demons. Then these same folks that graduate from these cemeteries (places filled with dead man bones), are the blind leading the blind to spiritual death in so-called churches today. For there are very few pastors today that teach “It is finished by God.” And the lies of ongoing forgiveness by God is the tip of the iceberg of the lies taught.

And today, we don’t even realize that we too pass on down, the hand-me-down lies of satan, because we trust in the teaching of Man and demons rather than the Holy Spirit to teach us ALL TRUTH. Folks, if you really want to know the Truth, there is only one place to seek wisdom from, and that is directly from God. When God begins to make known the Truth of the word of God, to you, the floodgates open to Everything, and you will see this Earth in a completely different light. Your eyes will be opened to see in 20 20 vision. Because all that we have been taught in the world is a lie. And compared to the Truth of the Word of God, the hand-me-down lies are 100 percent opposite of TRUTH. And don’t ever be so proud to think that you yourselves could not be deceived by satan, for he has deceived ALL the nations of the world, that includes you and me. And the Holy Spirit will make that known to you simply for the asking of Him to make it known without finding fault. Jesus is a lot lot closer than most people think or imagine. He wants to set the record straight.

Ephesians 3:1-21
“1 For reason of this, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles…

2 Surely you have heard of the administration of God’s grace, having been given to me toward you, 3 that He made known to me the mystery by revelation, just as I have written before in brief, 4 which, by reading, you are able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as now it has been revealed in the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets, 6 that the Gentiles are joint-heirs, and a joint-body, and joint-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus, through the gospel, 7 of which I became servant according to the gift of God’s grace, having been given to me according to the working of His power.

8 To me, the very least of all saints, was given this grace: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ 9 and to enlighten all what is the administration of the mystery having been hidden from the ages in God, the One having created all things, 10 so that now through the church the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to the purpose of the ages, which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence, by faith in Him.

13 Therefore I implore you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 … for reason of this I bow my knees to the Father, 15 from whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named, 16 that He might give you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man, 17 for Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, being rooted and being founded in love, 18 so that you may be fully able, with all the saints, to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, so that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

20 Now to the One being able to do exceedingly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power working in us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.”

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone.

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26
—

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

—

~ “Paul said, I am thankful that I found myself without a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but a righteousness that comes from God. Put aside all this tradition stuff, put aside all the things he had been taught and recognized that his salvation was because of Jesus, and Jesus alone, and so is yours. Nothing you can do to earn it, nothing that you can do to deserve it. It’s a gift so that no man can boast. I don’t know where you are, those here in the room or listening on the television. I don’t know where you are. I don’t know whether you’ve ever given up on your works, given up on your ancestry. And really come to realize that Lord Jesus, this is you, your deal and yours alone, and you’re the one who came to this earth to save me and. To save me from the consequence of my sin, which is called spiritual death. By your gift of spiritual life, you came to do far more than forgive my sins. You came to raise me from the dead, and I accept that resurrected life that your desire, you can pray that prayer today and know full well that to as many as received him to them, he gave the right to become a child of the living God.

Let’s join our hearts together in prayer, Father, we pray today that if there be one listening today that has been trying to gain salvation through their works or through their ancestry, that you’ll put aside those thoughts because they’re not true, and to recognize that there’s only one way that salvation could be obtained, and that’s by putting faith in what you have done. You’re the one who entered into our death with us, became like us in our death, so that we could become like you in your resurrection, to come alive spiritually, and from that day forth to be able to call you Abba Father, Daddy, Father. If that be the heart of any person today, I pray that just wherever they are sitting in a chair, wherever it might be standing, talking, I will just stop for a moment and to speak to you and be able to say, Lord Jesus, I understand finally that it’s all you and none of me. And I now ask you to come into my heart and to be my Lord and Savior. I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins, taking them away from the eyes of God forever, never to see them again, so that I might have life eternal. And I thank you for that in Jesus, precious name. We pray. Amen.” ~ Bob George

Bob George 0:29

Truth is truth, and if you’re not teaching it, you’re a false prophet. It says there are going to be many of these, many of them, many of them, many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. That’s why they’re there to deceive you, because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Why does it grow cold? Because of our love of wickedness, we like sin more than we like God. So our love of wickedness causes our hearts to grow cold toward God, yeah. How many have ever had that happen in your life? But he who stands firm to the end will be saved, and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached to the whole world as a testimony to all nations. And then it says the end will come. Now, folks, then the end will come. So again, you look at that and say, Well, is he there talk, therefore talking about the end times, and so all of these things that they’re talking about, nations rising against nation, it seems to me that all these things have already taken place. He says, Yeah, they have, and they’ll come. Continue to take place. You’re not going to have a time in history when nations are going to rise up against a nation. There’s going to be wars and rumors of war. It’s going to be going on forever, but it’s going to be intensified in the end times. So he said, When you see standing now, you are talking about a prophecy, are we not? That has not yet been fulfilled. When you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel. Let the reader understand and let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down and take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers Pray that your flight will not take place in the winter or on the Sabbath, For then there will be great distress unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again. Now, guys, there are people, there are people, and sincere people, and again, when you’re dealing with prophecy, I believe that, quite frankly, when we’re going to know that prophecy has been fulfilled is when it’s fulfilled. I don’t think anybody figures it out in advance all of the prophecies that were in the Old Testament about Jesus? Did anyone have that figured out? But a student of prophecy would sit there and they would claim they had it figured out. They probably could write books on it make some money, but no one knew what it meant until Jesus came, the fulfillment of those prophecies, that he was going to be born in Bethlehem, that he was going to be born of a virgin, all of that was, ah, that’s what it meant when he was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, that the Messiah. And in the prophecies, you had a reigning Messiah, and you had a suffering Messiah that are declared, and people would look at that, but it was, it’s kind of like a mountain peaks that from a distance, you can look at a mountain peak here and a mountain peak here, and they look like they’re right next to each other, but the fact is, they could be hundreds of miles away from each other. And the same thing was true. People were wanting these to be together. So they were looking for the suffering Messiah and the reigning Messiah at the same time. They did not realize that when Jesus was talking about he was going to be the suffering Messiah, but later on, at the end times, is where he’s going to be the ultimate reigning Messiah. Today, the Jewish people will say, when I see a man who comes into Israel and saves Israel and saves it from the world’s persecution, that’s when I’ll believe he’s the Messiah, not until they are looking for the reigning Messiah, and they do not equate the suffering Messiah with the Messiah at all. So we’re talking about here an event that when he looks at this event and talks about the fact there will be great distress unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, never be equaled again. You’re talking about an event there that obviously has not taken place yet. You have a lot of people that interpret this passage that already has taken place. It took place in 70 ad when Titus went in and destroyed Jerusalem. That’s when the walls came down. That’s when he that’s what he said the stones that you see will never will there won’t be one on top of another that’s already occurred. And there is prophecy in there that has already occurred, but not the ultimate prophecy, because obviously there has not been an event that took place that is unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, never to be equaled again. Never been an event to take place like that. And so when you stop to think of some of the catastrophes of man, you think of the bomb that we dropped on Japan. You think of the atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, the destruction that takes place. And you know, those things have taken place. And you talking about an event that will never be equaled again. Those events are going to be equaled again. And so we know something about this prophecy here, that some of it could have been a fulfillment, but not all of it. And it’s not dealing with something that has happened already, but you’re dealing with something that’s going to happen in the future. So it says, if the elect in those days will be shortened at that time, if anyone says to you, look, here’s the Christ, or there he is, don’t believe it. For false christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles. So you’re going to have people who are appearing claiming. Seeing miracles and deceiving even the elect, if ever possible. So he said, See, I’ve told you ahead of time, so let’s not be surprised. We need to take heed to this. You know, you got people that say, Oh, I saw Jesus. No, you didn’t. Not according to this, not according to this. You didn’t. He said, The next time you see Jesus, the whole world’s going to see him. When you see Jesus, he’s going to appear in the clouds, and the whole world is going to see him. So don’t say I saw him out in the field or I saw him in my bedroom. People will talk about the fact that I had this vision, that Jesus saw Jesus. I’m sorry. I do not believe that, because the Bible says that the next time you see Jesus, he’s going to appear in the clouds. So I have a little bit of an advantage in knowing what truth is and what it isn’t. And so do you if you read the scriptures. So I’ve told you ahead of time, so don’t be deceived. If someone came out and ran into here and said, Hey, Bob Jesus, not fixing the side. I just say, keep your seat. Keep your seat. No need in going out there. He’s not out there. If anyone tells you he’s out in the desert, don’t go out there. Or he is in the inner rooms. He’s back in the office. Don’t go there. Don’t believe it. Said just plain don’t believe it. You don’t even need to wonder, Should I go or not? Just plain don’t believe it. Yeah, but this guy told me so nice. I don’t care who he is, don’t believe it. Hey, you got all kinds of people who have seen things, you know. And we make, we make statues out of and, you know, we see faces and, and I had a vision of Mary.

Where do you read anything? In the Bible about having visions of Mary? Where in the Scripture talking about Mary coming back? Guys, I hate to do this. That is false prophets. I don’t care how nice you are, I don’t care how good you look. That is false teaching, period. False teaching done by false prophets. It should not be listened to and it should not be tolerated. Now, he says, Don’t go out there, For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the West. So it will be with the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there’s a carcass there, vultures will gather immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened. The moon will not give light. That hadn’t happened. Stars will fall from the sky that had happened. Heavenly bodies will be shaken that didn’t happen yet at that time, the Son of Man will appear in the sky. And all of the nations, not some of them, all of them will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Who are they? The people who have already gone to be with Christ? Jesus gathered for this event and learned the lesson from the fig tree. As soon as the twigs get tender and the leaves come out, you know summer is near. And even so, when you see all of these things, you will know that it is near right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation, and basically this should be race of people, this Jewish race of people will certainly not pass away until all of these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away. Now, folks, as some people would say, because and this translated generation to you the truth that this generation now that would mean people back from from the time of Jesus proclaiming this about the next 47 years, a generation will be there. Well, how can that be? In the next generation, the sun wasn’t shaken, or the heavenly bodies weren’t shaken. Stars fell from the sky, and Moon gave light, Sun darken, all of those things that are talking about. So it’s not generation. It should not be translated generation. The Greek word for this could be translated either generation or race. Well, it’s obvious which translation needs. To be translated. It’s a race of people, the Jewish people. Now, is that true? Isn’t amazing through all these years, have any of you ever seen a Hittite or a midtite or an Amorite? Any of you everybody ever knew? Anyone that ever knew an Amorite or Hittite or a midtite, or any of those other ites? Anybody ever knew one? No, but you can spot a Jew on every street corner. They’re here. They’re part of God’s plan. They’re going to be at the end times that’s going to be centered around, not Washington, DC, but Israel. When the Lord comes back, hidden, coming here, say, How could he not come here, probably because we’re broke.

He’s coming back to Israel. It’s going to plant his feet just where he left, the Mount of Olives. There’s going to come a time when every knee is going to bow and every every tongue is going to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. So you’re going to be some days, guys. So I tell you the truth that this grace will not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away. But My words will never pass away, prophecy, prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled. Well, I think we get the idea. Now let’s turn back to Ephesians. Here was a prophecy of old that now has been fulfilled. And so we’re we’re on great grounds here, because we not only see the prophecy or the mystery, but we also are able to enjoy the fulfillment of it. So as he says, this mystery, this in verse chapter one, verse nine, made known to us this mystery of his will, according to His good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ to be put into effect when the times have reached their fulfillment, to bring all things in heaven and earth under one head that is Christ.

Now go down for a moment to chapter three, Book of Ephesians, chapter three. For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles. Now again, this is all a part, my friends, of this mystery, a prophecy, a mystery that was prophesied, but no one knew what in the world it was about, but he is now identifying what this is about. It’s concerning the Gentiles. Since you heard about the administration. Of God’s grace that was given to me, that is the mystery made known to me by revelation. As I have written briefly, so Paul is saying that this mystery that was held in the heart of God until such time that he was ready to reveal was given to me to be the administrator of this mystery. That means the guy who’s supposed to put it into proper perspective and to teach the true meaning of it, and that was Paul’s role, is to not just teach the mystery, but teach what did this mystery mean? What is involved in this new covenant that God has ushered in. Who’s involved with it? What does it involve? Does it cancel out the old all of these questions that you have about fulfilled prophecy. Paul says he was called by God to be the administrator of this he is the authority in regard to this mystery, this Mysterion. And so the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I’ve already written. In reading this, then you’ll be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. You’re going to understand there’s an insight into this. What is the insight? What it says, No, what it means, which was not made known to other men in other generations. So it has not been made known before, but has now been revealed by God’s Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

Now, God has made known this mystery to the apostle Paul, to be the administrator, or the final authority on what is truth concerning this mystery, but it says that it was also made known to the apostles and prophets. Now, there are people today, and I don’t know how many of you are familiar with all of this, but they’re called Paulinus. They’re Paul only, and they literally discount all other writings of the New Testament except Paul’s writings, that Paul was the one who received the mystery of of the Gentiles and HEBREWS coming together under one head, the new covenant we live in today, and therefore we should only read Paul’s writings, dismiss all the rest of it, because he was the one that it was revealed to. Well, Paul, in order to correct that says that this mystery was revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. So it was not just revealed to him, but it was revealed to the other apostles and to the prophets. Now, who was the administrator of this mystery? Who was the one, in case the other prophets and apostles had questions about that they were to go to to fit the answer? To the Apostle Paul. But the mystery was revealed to the apostles and the prophets and the Apostle Paul as the administrator of this.

Now this mystery is so now he’s going to tell us what this mystery is all about. Through the Gospel, the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members of one body and sharers together to the promise of Jesus Christ, there is no longer to be a HEBREW body and a Gentile body, that God came to reveal a mystery whereby the HEBREW and the Gentile would become one new creature, no more male, female, slave or free, HEBREW or Gentile, but one. Today we sit around and say, No, we need a J@@ congregation. Need to be a Messianic J@@. I say, well, big deal. I’m a messianic Gentile. What do you want to divide yourself for? Is there anything in the Bible that talks about J@@s and Gentiles are supposed to still be J@@s? I want to tell you something, folks, if you are Jewish born, I don’t care what you become, you are always going to be a J@@. You’re not a J@@ because of your religion. You’re a J@@ because of natural birth. And I am always going to be a Gentile. I don’t care. I could join the major J@@ish club in the world, I’m a Gentile. And so in this world today, the big confusion between the J@@ and the Gentile is that to the average J@@, the opposite of being a J@@ is a Christian. Nothing can be farther from the truth. The opposite of being a J@@ is to. Be a Gentile. Most of you in here are Gentiles. Some of you are J@@ish born. But now, if you’re in Christ, you have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. You’ve been made into a what new what? Creation. Now, who are you as a new creation? A child of the living God. That is spiritual birth, your natural birth. You will always be either a J@@ or a Gentile, but spiritually now he says, I’m going to give you a new identity. You’re going to be called a child of the living God, and in that there is no J@@ or Gentile. Now the J@@s still wanted to get together, and today, the same thing is true. Say I still want to follow my traditions, fine. You can follow your traditions. There isn’t anything wrong with that. If you want to follow tradition. You know, it’s like I got Christmas on 25th of December, if I had it, fine. If I don’t have it, fine. No big deal my spiritual life, isn’t dependent on what day I celebrate Christmas or whether even celebrate it, but don’t make that something more than what it is. And don’t be telling all believers that you’ve got to be a J@@. And the Bible had to deal with that because that’s what they were doing. You’ve got to be circumcised. You have to follow this. You have to follow this. Ruth said, No, you don’t quit trying to make people a J@@ if you’re a Gentile and quit Gentiles quit trying to make J@@s Gentiles. That’s your natural birth. Put your mind where God wants your mind to be on spiritual things. You’ve been elevated from your natural birth. You’re greater than your natural birth. You’ve been made a child of God, and to as many as received Him, to them, he gave the right to become what? A child of the living God. That’s what we ought to be proud of. That’s what we ought to be talking about, not what our natural birth was because, quite frankly, it really doesn’t matter what your natural birth is. But see, there are some people who think, if I was born J@@ish, I am saved. No, you’re not. If you if you’re saved, Paul’s wasted a lot of time. Who’s J@@ish, incidentally, wasted a lot of time. You’re saved. When you put your faith in Jesus, you’re not saved because of natural birth. You’re saved because of spiritual birth. You must be born again, not born out of human passion and plan. In other words, I’m not talking about natural birth, I’m talking about spiritual birth. Only spiritual birth save you spiritually. So you got natural birth. That’s your mom and dad, your heritage, J@@ish, Gentile and spiritual birth. That’s why you all become now. We’re all part of what one body, one body. That’s the mystery, an unthinkable thing to the J@@ish people who were very religious, that these heathenistic Gentiles could be saved by the same God as this one that we worship. Unthinkable to the Gentile. They just kind of sat back and said, I don’t understand how anybody could ever save me, but it seemed like I’m saved, so I’m going to be praising God because of many times the stubbornness, and you’ll see that in the last chapter of Acts, the stubbornness of the J@@ish people, where they would not grab a hold of the fact that God isn’t looking for your natural birth. God isn’t looking for your deeds.

Paul said, I am thankful that I found myself without a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but a righteousness that comes from God. Put aside all this tradition stuff, put aside all the things he had been taught and recognized that his salvation was because of Jesus, and Jesus alone, and so is yours. Nothing you can do to earn it, nothing that you can do to deserve it. It’s a gift so that no man can boast. I don’t know where you are, those here in the room or listening on the television. I don’t know where you are. I don’t know whether you’ve ever given up on your works, given up on your ancestry. And really come to realize that Lord Jesus, this is you, your deal and yours alone, and you’re the one who came to this earth to save me and. To save me from the consequence of my sin, which is called spiritual death. By your gift of spiritual life, you came to do far more than forgive my sins. You came to raise me from the dead, and I accept that resurrected life that your desire, you can pray that prayer today and know full well that to as many as received him to them, he gave the right to become a child of the living God.
