ITS NOT TOO LATE FOR MEN TO TURN 

AND “TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING.” II Cor.6:17

 
   

        The closing work of Christ is to be a united work. Fact: there exists no equality between the various branches of the gospel work, when the counsel was perfect, that by GOD’S intended design, equal value and wage was to exist between doctors, ministers, literature evangelists and missionaries (Acts 2:42-47, 10:34), thereby creating symmetry within the various branches of the work, that none would feel superior or inferior to the position of another. This would have shut the door on the temptations of pride, resentment and suspicion between the different areas of Christian ministry; and this would have greatly streamlined the time it takes to finish the gospel commission, thereby bring the suffering of Earth to a close. To bless one area of the work to the neglect of another is the sin of partiality (Ja.2:1-5). “For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.” Mal.2:7-9. Atheism would never have gotten off the ground if the church had done her duty.

 
        Men, past and present, under the tutelage of Satan, have blindly circumvented GOD’S call to the methods that will bring the largest numbers of men, women and children to His salvation. Instead, they “shut up the kingdom of heaven against men” as the Savior warned in His day and in the prophetic sense. This is verified by The LORD addressing the oldest injustice on Earth, going back to the first righteous son of Adam, Abel: “The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.” Isa.57:1. The rejection of “Thus saith the LORD” has caused every calamity to befall the life of Earth. And the religious leaders then and today refuse to acknowledge the Saviour’s declaration: “ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.” “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” Matt.7:26-29; Jn.8:37.

        As already reviewed and Biblically verified: had the church done her duty Christ could have already come a long time ago and brought the suffering of earth to a close (Matt.24:14; II Pet.3:12). The church’s procrastination only sustains the continued suffering of life and increases the loss of souls for the kingdom of heaven. And the longer the church postpones GOD’S command to obey the Gospel commission the greater the loss and suffering will be! It is no different than the rise of disease in the human body: the longer it is allowed to fester the more difficult it is to overcome. It may be factually stated that corporate Christianity’s administrative protocol promotes the continuing echo of the howling agony radiating from this world, the suffocating anguish experienced by trillions of creatures that only GOD can hear. It is because of the suffering and death of life that GOD commands every Christian to cooperate with His Spirit and holy angels to bring this global scourge of life’s suffering to an end.
