DESCRIPTION: Throughout scripture, God has provided us with trends that assert the notion of Solomon's proclamation of "nothing new being under the sun." One of those trends is the clash between brothers and the application reveals a story of the end of the age. However, before the release of the latter, the secret revelation that the early church penned down helps to provide what is necessary for entry into the kingdom. The more we begin to see the necessities that the followers of our Lord Jesus Christ revealed and whole-heartedly believed in, the more it depicts the clash of the two brothers at the end of the age. One thing that we can be certain of is that the doctrine of the early church was not the same gospel that is coming from pulpits today. These men and women had a fire and a passion for the truth because they had experienced the power of God in their lives, and experience that many followers of the faith today seldom see. As Michael releases his findings from the early church apostles, it becomes obvious that God has allowed him to echo the messages of the early church. In those times, people who wanted to come into covenant with the teachings of the early church had to be initiated into the revelation. The zealous mentalities and the fire of the church, depicted in the book of Acts are clearly seen, as well as the motives for such behavior. During this time we often saw brother against brother, both from the Jewish lineage, but the set of beliefs that governed them caused for such a division. Since Cain and Abel, the division has always been fueled by sacrifice, intimacy with the Father, inheritance, jealously, and interpretation of scripture. Many people in the early move of the church were martyred for what they believed in, by people who used the same book to worship God. Obviously, the God that they knew could not have been the same, for the offense within the brethren would not have occurred. Today, we in the Body of Christ should begin to ask ourselves what side are we on? We should begin to make sure that the light in us is not darkness. If we do not have the same aspirations of death and intimacy as the early church, are we really on fire for the Lord Jesus Christ the way that we proclaim with our mouths? |
