Like a chestnut tree

Trinity is what separates Christianity from other religions. It is impossible to explain Trinity with human words. There have been many philosophers who tried to explain a god or gods but Trinity is beyond human imaginations or ideas.

Therefore, It is impossible to know God of His words by using the pagan philosophers’ words. It is abominable that Christian ministers and theologians quote the words of Plato or Aristotle or even try to borrow ideas from them. Even Calvin quoted Plato here and there because the Roman Catholic promoted such education then (and now). But he admitted that Plato did not know God.

He said, “…we differ from each other, in that every one appropriates to himself some peculiar error; but we are all alike in this, that we substitute monstrous fictions for the one living and true God—a disease not confined to obtuse and vulgar minds, but affecting the noblest, and those who, in other respects, are singularly acute. How lavishly in this respect have the whole body of philosophers betrayed their stupidity and want of sense? To say nothing of the others whose absurdities are of a still grosser description, how completely does Plato, the soberest and most religious of them all, lose himself in his round globe? What must be the case with the rest, when the leaders, who ought to have set them an example, commit such blunders, and labour under such hallucinations? (The Institute of the Christian Religion 1.5.11).

Many ministers and theologians say we should read this and that book to know God more as if they understand God by their own intellectual abilities. And those books are often mixed with the ideas of pagan philosophers.

Churches have been focusing on bringing more people in rather than educating the saints. Megachurches are rich but do not preach what is true. Education has been downgraded to satisfy the majority. And slowly, churches have lost their ability to function because they want to satisfy many. Their Christianity is no longer for those who enter through the narrow door.

“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin standing outside and knocking on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ and He then will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will begin saying, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’ And yet He will say, ‘I do not know where you are from; LEAVE ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’ (Luke 13:24-27)

A certain logic is required to understand God’s words. But this logic is given by God and stays intact only by the power of God. People who received the Holy Spirit are often misguided by their ministers to read books with full of errors. Saints often waste their time and money on them.

It is like there are million pieces of puzzle. Most theologians focus on looking at what each piece shows and failed to put pieces together. This is the disadvantage of the systematic theology. Sometimes pieces are placed in the wrong places. If we wholeheartedly seek God’s guidance, He will put the puzzle pieces together so that we could see His plans. But theologians and ministers say they do not need God and they would rather read books of pagan philosophers. Therefore, the knowledge of trinity is not given to them.

The knowledge of Trinity is summarised in the Athanasius Creed and the Nicene Creed. But even if one says he/she has fully memorized them, the knowledge may not be given.

The most shocking thing I noticed in the Reformed church is that even ministers do not know who to call when praying. Many theologians see God as three gods or Jesus is the only God. Many people grow up in churches and believe that they serve only Jesus Christ who saved them from the hands of the Father. The devil already laid foundations for the anti-christ within churches by the hands of the false teachers.

We can only understand the glimpse of the mystery of Trinity when we read the Bible again and again. But even if one read the Bible a hundred times, he or she may not have the knowledge unless God gives wisdom. We can only ask God for His mercy.

The knowledge of the Trinity and the two natures of Christ is found throughout the Bible and in the Nicene Creed and the Athanasius Creed.

People say the word, Trinity, does not appear anywhere in the Bible and thus, it is a men-made doctrine. They are very ignorant of God’s works revealed in the writings of the visible church through saints (people in the invisible church). God knows what is happening in our minds and interacts with His people on the earth constantly through His words and His Spirit. There are a few important church councils happened in the church history. The first church council was the Jerusalem Council that we read in Acts 15. The instructions of the council are as follows:

The apostles and elders, your brothers,

To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:

Greetings.

We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. So, we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.

Farewell.

(Acts 15:23-39)

Verse 29 appears to contradict to what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 8. But Christ says in Revelation 2:14, “But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.” Eating food sacrificed to diols is a grave sin if one’s heart is corrupt. In other words, those who are rebuked in Rev 2:14 had wrong intentions. Idolatry is always connected to sexual immorality. Having a wrong intention is a sin. We judge people by their actions. But God judges the heart (and the actions). This is consistent with Christ’s teaching as shown in Matt 5:28.

But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matt 5:28)

What a church council concludes needs to be interpreted with the right understanding of God’s words. God’s words come first.

There are church councils that are considered illegal in the sight of God. For example, the Council of Trent was illegal because God ordained the Reformation.

In the early church history, there were three councils that discussed about the Trinity and the two natures of Christ, which define the foundational knowledge of God. They are the Council of Nicaea, the Council of Constantinople, and the Council of Ephesus.

Theses councils (and all legal councils) have two important purposes:

Firstly, they discuss and confirm what the Bible says regarding specific matters.

Secondly, they identify heretical ideas/teachings.

Looking back our church history, the invisible church struggled to defend herself. As we see in the life of Athanasius, the false believers are much more than the true believers. And the enemies of God are always in churches and try to distort truths of God. They kill and torture God’s true children as we see in history of the Waldensians in 16^th century.

Every time she was under pressure and persecutions, God gave her the wisdom and authority to write things that could help the saints in future. The church councils were not perfect and there may have been the reprobate people in the councils, but the outcomes were what God willed. However, the knowledge is still growing and does not stop at the Creeds and Confessions.

God wants us to eagerly seek for His guidance and confess that we do not possess the wisdom. It is the Holy Spirit who works within us produces good fruit. The church council members discussed important matters that define orthodox Christianity. As we can see, our knowledge as the invisible church grows as time passes and she will be fully ready when Christ comes back. God appointed the system of the visible church so that saints could learn.

The word “theology” came from the Greek word Theos (God) and Logy (Study of). Thus, theology is the study of God. People often think theology is restricted to the learned people. But any idea about God is theology. Theology is everywhere in the life of a Christian.

Theologians and ministers love to talk about who said what and who wrote what. I heard a seminary professor saying that he wishes he never spent so much time on reading theology books when he was young. There is not much you can learn from a theology book or a Christian inspirational book. I read Calvin’s Institute. It may be useful to read it if you want to understand orthodox Christian beliefs. But I’ve seen it misused many times. To reduce any confusions, it is better to read only the Bible. Read it every day (at least 4-5 chapters per day). The Holy Spirit guides the saints to know God and discern. Christ overcame the temptations by using God’s words. Before the temptations, He received the Holy Spirit as a sign to the world that He is the Son of God. He did not attempt to argue with the devil. Meaningless arguments are often done by people who know little but want to boast about what they read.

Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one. (Matt 5:37)

Theology books are often long and too academic. Luther and Calvin were learned people who studied theology at the university level under the Roman Catholicism. They realized that people needed much simpler way of learning God’s words and wrote catechisms. Calvin also promoted early education so everyone could read the Bible themselves. That is the heart of the Reformation. God speaks to us individually and collectively through His Book.

Any attempts to prevent people from reading the Bible or promoting men-written books/articles is deemed as rebellion. Not encouraging people to read the Bible is deemed as idleness. Churches are full of rebellious and idle leaders.

The Bible is strictly for the elect people but those who do not know God always try to confuse God’s elect saying that there are better books than the Bible. We always need to be aware of this temptation.

Regarding what version of the Bible we should read, I’d recommend using various versions till you find something that suits you. I now use more word-to-word Bibles but that does not mean other Bibles are useless. It is the Holy Spirit who interprets the Bible. If we were supposed to interpret it literally and by our ability, God would have given us a perfect transcript of one Bible and we should be speaking and writing in Hebrews and Greek. Then theology becomes the study for the learned. But Christ was considered as an unlearned man. We should be proud of the fact we are not learned in the eyes of the world. We listen to God’s words like children. That is the Father’s will.

The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?” (John 7:15)

for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes (Matt 7:29)

and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt 18:3)

I am not talking about a specific Protestant church selling indulgence like the Roman Catholic church did/does.

Indulgence is a false assurance of salvation. This was one of the things Luther was very against, which led him to write the 95 theses. There were other factors that prompted him to write it. That was the start of the second reformation.

In the present age, the Protestant churches sell the indulgence in a different way. The Baptist churches use the ceremonial baptism. The Reformed also use the ceremonial baptism but interprets it differently. The Reformed believe the ceremonial baptism does not guarantee salvation but that is not what most of their people believe. A pastor from a Reformed church once said that the Reformed people think they inherit faith by birth. Another said that the Reformed people tried to increase the Kingdom size by having many children. This is because many people misinterpret Acts 16:31.

Acts 16:31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Basically, you do not inherit salvation just because your parents go to a church. The Reformed people then emphasize that they are true believers because they go to true church defined in the Confessions (e.g. The Belgic Confession, Article 29). Their parents strictly forbid their children to go to a different church because they think they are saved only when they are in their definition of a true church/denomination. They often uphold the Confessions more than God’s words. But against their Confessions, their theologians and ministers come up with ideas that can satisfy many like John Owen and A. Kuyper. It is not surprising they were politicians. I would call this false assurance a new form of indulgence. This promotes hypocrisy and corruption within churches because most of their people do not know God. Yet, they think they have the Holy Spirit and live according to God’s words. Even though one grows up in a Reformed church and learned the Confessions, he/she may not be a true believer.

A saint realized the existence of the only true God at some point in his/her life. Sometimes God let saints go wrong ways until His appointed time comes. Then He calls the person to live as a true Kingdom citizen. Only then, the person can produce good fruits by the Holy Spirit. This is regardless of the background of that person.

Some people in Protestant churches realized this (false) assurance is too weak and came up with a new idea such as how to receive the Holy Spirit, how to speak in tongues, etc. When I went to a Pentecostal church in my 20s, the youth group teacher (now he is a minister) prompted us to speak in strange sounds during prayer meetings because he believed that speaking in tongues proves the presence of the Holy Spirit and thus, the salvation. Emotional music was played, and he prompted us to make random sounds repeatedly. I stood up and took up my brother’s hand and we walked out. He and other people followed us to persuade us. I said, “No, we won’t do that.” I thought, “I won’t sin against the Holy Spirit by following what you say.”

In one way or the other, the Protestant churches are trying very hard to give their people a false sense of salvation. It is not surprising that most of them now reject “Only Grace” because the ministers themselves fear that they are not in the Book of Life. What they do not realize is that their actions are deemed abominable and faithless by God. They openly deny God’s absolute grace. Their actions and words are the proof of their rebellion.

There is one important question – The reformation: Is it from God or from men?

John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin? (Matt 21:25)

If anyone says it was from men, that person should go back to the Roman Catholic church. But many minister who do not accept TULIP stay in the Protestant denomination. Thus, their action speaks against themselves. Thus, the prophecy is fulfilled:

And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. (Jer 3:11)

Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous. (Eze 16:51)

Church History

I grew up hearing the successful stories of churches in the western history. I was told that God helped the so-called Christian nations, and they are rich and successful and that many in the world now serves God. I was prompted to go out and preach the good news to those who do not believe in God.

Now I know these stories are very biased and made up by men. (There is a church history book written by Philip Schaff. I would not recommend it because his understandings are strange.) There is not a single church history book that explains history from God’s point of view.

Church history is full of false teachers. In the 3^rd century, there were already false teachers in the leadership. Paul of Samosata and Sabellius of Alexandria were heretics. The church history is about people against God and God against people. Throughout the church history, many false teachers tried to please men and used Christianity for their reputation and wealth. However, God was merciful and made it sure the good news was preached to His poor elect people. True Christians are often under persecutions as we see in the life of Athanasius. Church history is full of the dominant false believers persecuting the true believers.

This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. (Gal 2:4)

At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. (2 Tim 4:16-17)

God still fulfils His prophecies through His saints (Rev 19:10). As no prophet can die outside Jerusalem (Luke 13:33), even now saints die in the church. Zwingli, who was the forerunner of the two reformers (Luther and Calvin), also died under a tree (symbolically a church). These days saints are not burnt at stake but are killed mentally by false believers. The temptations are more severe. Visible churches have become uninhabitable places for saints.

Creeds and Confessions

The most important knowledge of God is in the Trinity and the two natures of Christ. Eastern Orthodox church is not an orthodox church because of their understanding of the Holy Spirit. And all non-Trinitarian churches are not orthodox. My understanding is that God appointed the Roman Catholic church and the Protestant church as two systems to preach and teach His words. Now both systems have failed, and we are about to face the new system.

The trinity and the two natures of Christ are written in the three ecumenical creeds: the Nicene Creed, the Apostles’ Creed and the Athanasian Creed. God gave us the Bible so that we may know Him and gave His appointed people in churches on the earth to write creeds and confessions. The visible churches’ tasks are always to teach and learn more about God. Not all of what they wrote are acceptable. But some stood the test of time, and we have three ecumenical creeds and the three forms of unity (and the Westminster Confession of Faith). They are helpful in teaching new believers.

The invisible church is under constant attacks. And it is God’s will that people learn and equip themselves with the right knowledge to stand through the visible church system. At the end, what the visible church confesses publicly is what the invisible church believes. However, that does not mean some punch of people can call themselves an orthodox church and write whatever they want. Creeds and confessions have limitations and can be used to promote idolatry and heresy if not used properly. They are subject to criticism and can be rewritten if the yare not aligned with God’s words.

There are not many books or articles on the three Creeds. I think Calvin’s understanding of the trinity is good. You can read the Institute of the Christian Religion online for free. But it is all the better if you understand what the Creeds explain through God’s own words. My mother used to say that we should be able to explain trinity without using the word “trinity”. God’s words are not for the learned and clever in this world. They are for the unlearned and the child-like people. Many theology terms put people off. In future, teachers need to be aware of the negative impact of using theological terms such as trinity, pneumatology, eschatology, etc. People who seem to know the least of God’s words may know more than any theologians.

I am mentioning the creeds and the confessions to emphasize their importance. And I’d like to add that the Covenant Theology and the Active Obedience of Christ are against God’s words and the Creeds. They are not orthodox. God warned not to go beyond what is written (1 Cor 4:6). Yet, they believe Adam had a probation period and could obtain eternal life had he kept the commandment during the period. Those who understand the divine election know that everything happens according to God’s will.

Earlier, I talked about seeing a chestnut tree with much fruit in a dream. In the dream, the tree had the center taken out and the left branch cut just as my wounds shown in another dream. Now I wonder if the wounds signify the Covenant Theology and the Active Obedience of Christ. If it is so, the tree may bear much fruit once they are properly and completely removed.

Recently, I came to realize that the chestnut tree symbolizes the Presbyterian denomination. And I think the reason Why God led me to know the error of the Covenant Theology is that the two men who will do the reform may come from the Presbyterian (or the “Reformed”) denomination. My mother told me that she met a lady at our first Presbyterian church (the one that I went when I was 5). The lady told her, “This is the church of Sardis. There are only two who are true.” When I first heard it, it did not mean much. A few days ago, I looked up online to know more about a chestnut tree. What I found is that there is a connection between Sardis and a chestnut tree. I do not yet fully know what this means. I think what the lady did not know was her dream was not about the Presbyterian church but the future church.

Fig tree

In the Bible, there are some important trees and fruit. Interestingly, fig is not actually a fruit but a flower.

And seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves alone; and He said to it, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.” And at once the fig tree withered. (Matt 21:19)

Fig symbolizes the conditional covenant that has failed because Adam and Eve rebelled against God and wrapped their bodies with the fig tree leaves. It also symbolizes righteousness based on works.

“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” (John 1:48)

Christ said Nathanael was a true Israelite with no deceit. We do not know what Nathanael was thinking or saw under the fig tree. If Nathanael knew the fig tree could not bear fruit, he was waiting for the coming of the Messiah under the tree.

From the very beginning, God made that the conditional covenant could never bear fruit.

Almond tree

An almond tree symbolizes priesthood. Aaron’s staff was made of almond tree. Jeremiah sees an almond tree branch. Almond flowers have 5 petals. In my dreams, number five appeared a few times. God showed me that people got rid of room number 5 and some left feeling angry and sad. I woke up and went to a supermarket to pick up pre-ordered groceries. In my trolley, there were five loaves of bread that I did not order. I told the staff. “I did not order these. I do not need them.” And when I said it, I realized that that was the sin of the church. That evening, we learnt about David asking for five pieces of bread from the priest when he was running away from Saul. I looked up and found out number five symbolizes grace. The church says I do not need grace when God gave salvation for free. (That does not mean I was supposed to take the five loaves of bread for free. But God wanted me to say it to know the sin of the church in this generation.)

An almond fruit is in a shell. Unlike figs, almond fruit is protected because of a shell. The Kingdom is the kingdom of priests. All saints are priests. Almond tree means our priesthood is protected and we live by grace.

Pomegranate

There is some information available online regarding pomegranates mentioned in the Bible. It was used when making priestly garments (Exodus 28: 33-35). And it appears in the Solomon’s temple (1 Kings 7:20). I think it symbolises a church. One pomegranate has much fruit and seeds in one pouch. We are one but are many.

Grape

Grapes appear many times in the Bible. The fruit is clustered and seen as one bunch, symbolizing a church. It is true that a bad vine does not bear a good fruit. John 15 is a very important chapter to understand the nature of a church, her relationship with Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. A bad tree bears either no fruit or bad fruits. The adulterous Israel was described as a useless vine (Ezekiel 15:1-8). God trains His people as silver is refined by fire (Zech 13:9). But in the case of the stubborn Israel, He brought disasters on the rebellious nation because of their iniquities (Isaiah 48:10) and not for their training. Every human experience suffering. For saints, suffering strengthens faith and knowledge of God just as in the case of Job. There are a lot to talk about grapes regarding life (blood) and wrath of God. And there are still a lot to learn about this fruit.

Chestnut

Chestnut also has multiple fruit in one pouch. Unlike the pomegranate, the pouch has needles. They are good at self-defending. And the new church will have the same features. The size of each church may be small, but they can defend themselves as one. If the size of the church is much smaller than now, the church may not be able to give wages to their ministers. Ministers may need to get a different job for a living. This is already happening now. I saw a news that some ministers got tired of being unable to speak truths in the fear of losing the job and therefore, got a different job while still preaching on Sundays.

I’ve met, talked, and listened to many ministers and those who want to be a minister. I think a lot of them think they have the knowledge of God and wisdom. But I have not seen or met a single minister who are willing to be servants. I consider saints on the earth as cleaners and nurses (and nurses aids). They keep places and people clean. They are in the lowest position in the world, yet their works are very important. If ministers need to do such tasks, I am not sure if any of them would want to keep their job. They want to say clever things in the eyes of the world. They love philosophy, literature, and theology books. Knowing who said what and discussing different ideas are their knowledge and pride. Receiving hospitality from the members of their church is their right and privilege. And seminaries are producing more people like that.

Therefore, whatever they tell you, do and comply with it all, but do not do as they do; for they say things and do not do them. (Matt 23:3)

Throughout the history of the Reformed theology, the Covenant Theology (CT) has been discussed and argued. Just before I start, I’d like you to know Puritanism is not what God wants. It was the first task I had to do in the Reformed church. Draw a clear line between the orthodox Reformed and Puritanism. The CT is related to the nature of the reformation done in 17^th century England. I see that God is much concerned about the CT because that is when the Reformed theology started to deviate from God’s truth. In many ways, the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) is helpful. But the Divines were mixture of people from different churches. I think many people writing a confession together pose a risk.

Concerning the dreams I had, I did not know a single Reformed doctrine until 2017. God answered to my question why the Protestant is the same as the Roman Catholic church. It is because they share philosophy-based theology. It is not surprising that many Reformed theologians talk a lot about Plato or Aristotle. These Greek philosophers did not know God.

There are many theologians who wrote on the CT. And I think each interprets it differently so it will cause only confusion if I refute all the different interpretations. The root of the doctrine (although God showed me that it did not have a root!) is the misinterpretation of Romans 5:12-20. To take down the CT, one must understand the two natures of Christ, Adam’s nature, imputation of righteousness, and God’s eternal covenant of grace. I leave this task to the two men who will carry out the new reformation.

Reformed theologians say that there are two covenant heads: Adam and Christ. But in fact, the CT sees that there is only one covenant head, which is Adam. Christ came only because Adam failed. The CT followers (or the Covenant theologians) Adam did not need Christ in the garden of Eden and already had the Holy Spirit. How was it possible for Adam to rebel against God if he was sin-free and had the Holy Spirit? That does not make a sense. I consider most of the CT followers as the worshipers of Adam.

This is why the CT (together with the active obedience of Christ) must go. They say the doctrine came from what Paul wrote. The Apostle saw that there are two kinds of covenant: one with the free woman and the other with the slave woman (Gal 4:21-31). In other words, there are the unconditional and the conditional covenant. Paul said in the Book of Galatians (3:16-17) that the conditional Mosaic covenant comes after the unconditional covenant with Abraham. Therefore, the covenant of grace is what God wills from the beginning. But the CT followers say, “NO. The covenant with Adam comes before that with Abraham. So, the eternal covenant is conditional. One must work.” And they put the active obedience of Christ (AOC) together. Even though they say the work was done by Christ, they emphasize that the work was done by the man Christ. Thus, it separates Christ’s two natures. Christ’s two natures can never be separated. The original doctrine of AOC was from Anselm of Canterbury, and his theory is that Christ had to keep the Law perfectly to save both Himself and His church because he was a man. This idea is heretical, but this was never condemned. Anselm’s theology relies on human reasoning/logics. Aquinas rejects Sola Gratia (and the Trinity because of the influence of Greek philosophy). And Owen who loved Thomism adopted this doctrine and change it saying Christ did not need to do it, but He did it for his church. This is very bad. At least, Anselm stick to his principles. While what Anselm built was a bad one, what Owen built was worse. This convinced people at that time and even now. Many follow the CT because of what Owen and his friends did. This is what I have understood so far.

There are two major issues: one is that the Law is no longer what Paul describes in the NT as revealing one’s sins but being obedient to the Law becomes the only way to become and stay righteous. One rebellion is the end of righteousness. How shall we explain the life of Romans 7? Therefore, many in the Reformed churches cannot understand the life of saints described in Romans 7. The other issue is that it separates the Law and Christ’s work done on the cross. The fulfillment of the Law is love (Rom 13:10) and this love was shown on the cross (Rom 5:8). Therefore, the CT restricts the meaning of the death of Christ. They say we need more than Christ’s death. I think this is worse than Korah’s rebellion. Indeed, God saw Judah was more treacherous than the Northern Israel (Jer 3:11).

What the CT and the AOC emphasise is a moral life. Some ministers insist that people in the church will not keep the Law without the AOC doctrine. They do not know God. This doctrine was written because of the nature of the Reformation done in the 17^th century England. Puritanism was strong then. The CT followers say there must be a reason Christ had to live for 30 + years and the reason was because He had to keep all the Law perfectly. Christ’s public life started at the age of 30, indicating the start of the priesthood as shown in Numbers 4:3 and in the Book of Ezekiel (1:1).

As we get rid of the CT, we will have more understanding of the righteousness of Christ imputed to us. To explain it, the Book of Job plays an important role. Job thought he was better than Adam (Job 31:33) and kept all God’s commandments. But God gave him much suffering. Thus, he argues that God is unrighteous (or less righteous than him). Three friends were given the task to rebuke Job, but their knowledge of God was superficial. Job was happy with the righteousness that comes from works. But God’s intention was to make him know that the righteousness from works of a creature is nothing. The true righteousness is the Creator’s love and mercy. A mere creature cannot be a part of such righteousness until God gives. The Covenant Theology and the AOC cannot explain the richness of God’s love and righteousness.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34)

It may sound strange, but it is true that the invisible church thrives when she is under persecution. I am not talking about the number of Christians. I think Christianity started to go off the track since the Edict of Milan was made. Christianity can never be a religion of the majority.

“And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin standing outside and knocking on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ and He then will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will begin saying, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’ And yet He will say, ‘I do not know where you are from; LEAVE ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out. And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” (Luke 13:23-30)

I think the saints in the last generation will have the more knowledge because temptations and persecutions will be very severe. And they will be considered as dung by people of the world. However, God will strengthen them and made them endure. The church must be fully mature by the time Christ comes.

Before I go further, I’d like to emphasize the importance of knowing the differences between the visible and the invisible church. It is possible that a church as a religious group does not have a single saint in her. The invisible church includes only saints who are chosen by God. The invisible church is the bride of Christ. But a visible church can be rejected by Christ although the saints in the church are saved by God’s divine election. In the NT era, God has appointed seven churches like the twelve tribes of Israel nation in the OT. These seven churches are not the invisible church but visible churches. Regardless of how many saints are in the visible churches, they are subject to God’s rebuke and judgement. The messages in Revelation 2 and 3 are targeted to the visible churches. However, the messages are understood only by the saints. “The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” This was mentioned in every letter.

People, especially those in the Baptist denomination, think the NT era is different from the OT era. If we look at the church history carefully, it is not much different. Both Israel nation in the OT and the visible churches in the NT have the obligation to show God’s glory. God set a system to teach His people – Israel nation in the OT and the visible churches in the NT. Therefore, infant baptism is what God wills. Ceremonial baptism (baptism done on the body) is a mere substitute to circumcision done on the body. All who receive ceremonial baptism is included in the system. They are registered as the Kingdom people. But not all will be saved. Only the remnant will be saved as God spoke through the prophets in the OT.

“Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.” (Isaiah 10:22)

And this passage was quoted by the Apostle Paul in Rom 9:27.

Therefore, the OT prophecies are not different from the prophecies in the NT. They are, in fact, talking about us and now. People rely on the system and manipulate it and thus, rejects what God says. It is not surprising that many ministers do not promote Bible reading or explain the role of the Holy Spirit accurately at the pulpit because the system is producing many false leaders.

My advice is not to read many theology books. The less you read, the better.

For the last 6 years, I have been looking for the two men who are God’s instruments to do the third reformation. I talked to several ministers that I thought good. But they were not the ones that I looked for. I always wondered why God wanted to use me. And then I realized that I, as a woman, had a role to play in this reformation.

I was told in a dream that there are four daughters and I saw myself assigned to the third one. I wondered why this one is the third one because I knew only one done in 16th century. Then I read Hebrew 9:10:

since they relate only to food, drink, and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

If the dreams are really from God, then there will be the fourth and last reformation. Thus, I do not expect the church will be fully prepared through this reformation. But I was told this one is important. The third one may appear radical or crazy. You may need to start look at things from God’s point of view and stop idolizing a system.

The passage that proved that I had received the Holy Spirit was about the woman who anointed Christ. Eve was deceived first. Her seed is the Savior. Christ appeared to a woman first when He rose again. From the very beginning, God’s plans were focused on a woman (or women) who is symbolically the invisible church.

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev 21:2)”

In the past, I tried to do a blog but gave it up. But since I do not know how long I will live, I write these so that when the two men come, you will know God’s will. The saints in the last days will have many challenges because of many false teachers. It is particularly important that you keep reading the Bible every day.

This new reformation must inherit the knowledge of the former reformations and hold the orthodox Christian beliefs. However, she must move away from philosophy-based doctrines such as the covenant theology and the active obedience of Christ. She must clarify the righteousness of Christ imputed to saints and the meaning of the Law. All saints live the life of Romans 7 until our Lord comes back. However, if anyone uses Rom 7 and justifies sinning, God will not look kindly on that person.

Through the dreams and the Scriptures, I understood that God was deeply concerned about three (or four) things:

• Corruption of worship: People have moved away from the lawful way of worship that the early Reformers like Calvin promoted. Prayers is not acceptable, and people think little of the Lord’s prayers and its meaning. People often pray for long without knowing God’s plan in the Scriptures. They pray in the ways that our Lord forbid (See Matt 6:5-8). The Reformed churches supposed to know and practice better but they are the worst. Music is very corrupt, and it is promoting idolatry as in Exodus 32:18 because people prefer men’s words than God’s words when singing during worship. Musical instruments are used to give people false sense of joy when worshiping God.

• Not feeding: Ministers and theologians follow Greek philosophers therefore they believe in the Greek gods. Theologians and ministers boast about reading many theology books and like talking about new ideas like the people in the Athens (Acts 17:21). They do not know what they are talking about and ignore what God said. They are still arguing about TULIP when they need to spend time on their flock. They want men’s praise. They have stopped reforming and thus the food has gone bad. Saints suffer because of lack of food or no food.

• Injustice: People who need to be excommunicated are forgiven and their words are tolerated within churches. Therefore, idolatry (both spiritual and physical adultery) is rampant. Poor people cannot join a church because they are under pressure to give money to and work for their churches while they are not looked after by their churches. Churches tolerate adultery and other wrong doings. Often the victims (women in many cases) need to change their stories to stay in their churches.

• Not reading God’s words: People are satisfied with attending a service on Sundays and say that they did their duty. They are not interested in reading God’s words even though they can now read and have their own copy of the Bible unlike their ancestors. When someone speaks truths of God, they hate hearing them and gather as a mob. Many hate their ministers who speak truths and feed them through preaching.

In this adulterous age, there are few ministers and few saints. All these are in fact described in detail in the prophetic books of the OT. In the OT, God was not angry only at the leaders of Israel and Judah. Thus, God send the same kind of disasters this time.

“this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten.” (Jeremiah 29:17)

“I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and the one who sat on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and famine, and plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.” (Rev 6:8)

Soon the year of the great earthquake will come. Repent today. Repent now. However, true repentance is not from a man’s will. Blessed are those whom God makes repent by the power of His Spirit.

Near the end of year 2020, I dreamed and saw that a castle spit out a noble man. I heard someone saying, “Year 20** will be known as the year of the great earthquake.”

According to Revelation chapter 6, the earthquake is the sixth seal. My role is to encourage God’s people so that when the unthinkable happens, you do not despair.

It is very important that we read the Bible every day. If reading is difficult, listen to someone reading the Bible. Stop listening to sermons that do not benefit you. Listening to sermons were important when people could not have the Bible or read it. Let the Spirit work within you by reading God’s words.

Read the Bible three times in the first year so that you understand the history of Israel and God’s plan. Then read Three Forms of Unity. Write down anything that you do not understand. Read about (or watch) church history. Then read the Westminster Confession of Faith. Try not to confine the knowledge within the doctrines but use them as guides.

Luther started the Reformation but could not finish it. In fact, it was Calvin who bore much fruit. We all work according to the knowledge given.
