This document discusses the timing of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. It argues that the widely held belief that he died on Friday is incorrect based on biblical passages. The document asserts that Jesus died on Thursday and remained in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, as stated in scripture, rising on Sunday. It aims to correct what it sees as false doctrines spread by conventional churches on this subject and advocates documenting the truth for the enlightenment and salvation of mankind.

GREATER LOVE
HOLY THURSDAY
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command
you. Joh 15:13 -Joh 15:14
2. LOVE AND FAITH:
*I want to tell you that IT IS SO UNTO THE PEOPLE WHO DO
NOT LOVE YOU, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING YOU
SAY TO BE TRUE. EVEN IF THEY KNOW THAT TO BE THE
TRUTH THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS BY
UNDERRATING YOU.
The death and resurrection was not within two days and two
nights as the mortification of the flesh could not be
accepted as having been two days and two nights. The
worldly people are wrong in their calculations. They may tell
you that he died on Friday, and if you continue with this
mathematics through Sunday, it would be seen that Christ's
interment was for only two days. But if you start from
Thursday and count the days and nights according to the
Jewish tradition, you will get the simple mathematics
correct.
The April Pentecostal does not come about as a result
of our own volition, but rather, because we are rejoicing and
jubilating with the death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. This is continuous and so shall it remain. When this
was first published in the Herald of the New Kingdom, our
official organ, the worldly people became sad and troubled
and even doubted the authenticity of our claims, but I want
to tell you that IT IS SO UNTO THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT
LOVE YOU, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING YOU SAY
TO BE TRUE. EVEN IF THEY KNOW THAT TO BE THE TRUTH
3. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS BY
UNDERRATING YOU. This is true for the blind cannot speak
good of anything. In the same vein, another child cannot rub
your back down to the toes. Our doctrines and practices are
therefore in keeping with the established precepts of old.
We do not mortify the flesh for carnal or material wealth, but
we are doing this in commemoration of the death of and
resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not observe it
because of the need to get money, children, cars, or houses.
The duration of your call into this kingdom notwithstanding,
even if you are a day old child, you must continue to mortify
the flesh. That is why Christ told His disciples that except
one is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Whoever is in the flesh cannot be reborn. You must mortify
the flesh so as to be in spirit.

4. FALSE DOCTRINES: I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY FALSE
DOCTRINE TO BE SPREAD AGAIN IN THE WORLD
HOLY THURSDAY: *I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY FALSE
DOCTRINE TO BE SPREAD AGAIN IN THE WORLD, AND IT IS
AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND THAT I AM ADVOCATING
THAT NOTHING SHOULD BE ADDED OR SUBTRACTED AT
ALL IN THIS CASE.
*THAT IS WHY THIS GOSPEL MUST BE DOCUMENTED FOR
THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE SALVATION OF MANKIND.
THEIR DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO FALSIFY A GENUINE
TRUTH AND TO THROW DUST INTO THE EYES OF THE
ENTIRE WORLD MUST BE EXPOSED. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPOSE THE TRUTH UNTIL SATAN AND HIS AGENTS
VACATE THEIR THRONE.
* DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NOT SAY, "EVERY PLANT
WHICH MY HEAVENLY FATHER HATH NOT PLANTED SHALL
BE ROOTED UP?" (MATTHEW 15:13). THAT IS WHY ALL
FALSE AND MISLEADING OBSERVANCES ABOUT HIS DEATH
AND OTHER ISSUES MUST BE CRUSHED.
Second Bible Lesson: John 2:19
"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
THE TRUTH HAS COME:
Brethren, have you heard that text? The Bible says "In the
mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word of truth be
5. established." (2 Corinthians 13:1). The second lesson
confirms the three days and three nights death bid and its
unique essence. He said, "Destroy this temple, and I will
build it after three days." It also serves as a releasing factor,
setting free those who were in spiritual as well as mental
bondage. Those who were condemned have been freed, and
those who were sick in the hospitals are now permanently
healed.
It is said, "He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own
glory, but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same
is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." (John
7:18). Those servants who speak and seek for their glory,
there is not even an iota of truth in them. They are fraught
with falsehood.
I want the conventional churches to prove their case with
regards to the timing and calculation of the number of days
Our Lord Jesus the Christ was in the heart of the earth. WE
IN BROTHERHOOD HAVE PROVED OUR CASE
MATHEMATICALLY, WITH BIBLICAL SUPPORT. The orthodox
churches claim that theirs was on Friday. God had allowed
them to falsify the event for so long until they prove
themselves wrong. The Spirit of Truth has come to unfold all
things for the salvation of mankind.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER. TO
ASSUME SUCH A POSITION IS WRONG. THIS IS A UNIQUE
AND IMPORTANT MATTER WHICH BOARDERS ON THE
6. FOUNDATION OF HUMANITY, SO IT IS WRONG TO TREAT
THE MATTER SO LIGHTLY. Their calculation from Friday will
land them on two days and two nights during which time Our
Lord Jesus Christ would still have been in the heart of the
earth. This is wrong and we cannot compromise or condone
this satanic and misleading assumption.
THAT IS WHY THIS GOSPEL MUST BE DOCUMENTED FOR
THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE SALVATION OF MANKIND.
THEIR DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO FALSIFY A GENUINE
TRUTH AND TO THROW DUST INTO THE EYES OF THE
ENTIRE WORLD MUST BE EXPOSED. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPOSE THE TRUTH UNTIL SATAN AND HIS AGENTS
VACATE THEIR THRONE.
A member, through false vision, told a brother to reject his
real wife (sister) with children and to take a new wife,
claiming that the Father ordered him to give such a vision.
But the poser is: why should the Father do a thing like that?
WHICH FATHER IN THE FIRST PLACE? SUCH A THING IS
OUTRAGEOUS AND QUESTIONABLE. It is equally blackmail
and blasphemy. I AM OPPOSED TO ANY FALSEHOOD IN THE
WORLD, INCLUDING THE JESUS CHRIST'S DEATH SAGA.
The calculation is misleading. The case of His birth, which
has been fixed for convenience, could be tolerable, but for
His death, upon which the salvation of the generality of
mankind depends, nobody should toy or falsify it on any
account.
7. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY FALSE DOCTRINE TO BE SPREAD
AGAIN IN THE WORLD, AND IT IS AGAINST THIS
BACKGROUND THAT I AM ADVOCATING THAT NOTHING
SHOULD BE ADDED OR SUBTRACTED AT ALL IN THIS CASE.
It is said that if a tree does not fall, the axe shall not rest.
Right now a greater number of the conventional churches
have begun to adopt the Brotherhood mode of worship. This
is indeed welcome news. Man or Satan is prone to sin,
falsehood, and blunders. But God is truthful and all his
actions are true and just. This should help us to realize that
sooner or later His words must be fulfilled.
DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NOT SAY, "EVERY PLANT
WHICH MY HEAVENLY FATHER HATH NOT PLANTED SHALL
BE ROOTED UP?" (MATTHEW 15:13). THAT IS WHY ALL
FALSE AND MISLEADING OBSERVANCES ABOUT HIS DEATH
AND OTHER ISSUES MUST BE CRUSHED.
His death and resurrection form the foundation which must
be celebrated with pomp and joy. His death has been the
last covenanted arrangement, and that was why He said, " It
is finished, " (John 19:30) as He allowed His precious blood
to be spilled for atonement of the sins of men. This supreme
sacrifice has superseded other sacrifices of goats, sheep or
rams, and has wiped away all sinfulness. To this end,
nobody has the right to impute sin on other people. The sins
of Adam had condemned the entire human race to death, but
his unique and supreme sacrifice has come to redeem
humanity from the bondage and the clutches of Satan.
8. THEREFORE IF ANY PASTOR SAYS HE SUFFERS FOR
ANYONE'S SAKE, HE IS A BLATANT LIAR. IT IS OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WHO HAD REALLY SUFFERED FOR ALL
MANKIND. IT IS SAID THAT THE TESTIMONIES FROM TWO
OR THREE PEOPLE CONFIRM THE TRUTH. Brethren let our
golden text be read.

EXCERPT FROM : MATHEMATICS OF GOOD FRIDAY
………………………………………………………………………………..
THE MATHEMATICS OF GOOD FRIDAY
First Bible Lesson: Matthew 16:21
"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer
many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and
be killed, and be raised again the third day."
Second Bible Lesson: John 2:19
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up."
9. Golden Text: Matthew 12:40
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's
belly: so shall the son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth."
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR HIS
DEATH
Brethren, the texts read to you summarize the theme of our
revelation today. It is said that by the words of your mouth
are you condemned or justified. (Matthew 12:37). Our Lord
Jesus Christ said that He would go to Jerusalem where He
would be tortured, spanked and finally killed. He said further
that He would rise up on the third day. (Matthew 16:21).
I want everybody to be in complete silence so that the wax
in your ears might be removed, and your bad eye-sight, due
to spiritual blindness, might be restored. As you listen
attentively to this gospel, all your encumbrances are taken
away, and you are fully liberated. It is pathetic to notice that
the whole of Christendom has lied to the world that Our Lord
Jesus Christ was crucified on a Friday.
But Our Lord Jesus Christ is the truth, and His words are
true. I would want the Zairians, the Cameroonians, the
Liberians, the Americans, and others who are present, and
indeed, all the inhabitants of the world, to listen with rapt
attention to this gospel so that they can correct the wrong
concept dished out to the masses by the orthodox churches.
It is absolutely wrong to construe that Our Lord Jesus Christ
was nailed to the Cross on Friday. This claim has no
substance, and lacks the Biblical foundation and backing.
10. Many people have been to Bible colleges, or theological
schools and seminaries all in the quest of studying religions
and the Bible. Some have been to India, the U.S.A., Russia,
and other places to study the Bible for 20 to 30 years. If they
still hold unto the argument that Friday was the first day and
Saturday, the second day. What about the third day? The
orthodox churches keep on shouting Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
But they find it difficult to know when He was crucified. The
knowledge of when Our Lord Jesus the Christ was crucified
has eluded the entire world.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WEDNESDAY WATCH AND PRAY
STARTED DURING THE TIME WHEN THE FEET OF THE
DISCIPLES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WERE WASHED.
THE WEEKLY THURSDAY FASTING AND PRAYERS DO
SYMBOLIZE THE DAY HE WAS CONDEMNED AT 6 A.M., AND
AT PRECISELY 9 A.M., THE SAME DAY, HE WAS CRUCIFIED.
I THANK MATTHEW AND JOHN AND A FEW OTHER
APOSTLES WHO WERE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THE
TEACHINGS AND THE CRUCIAL EVENTS DURING THE
MISSION AND OPERATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. IF
THESE RECORDS HAD NOT BEEN KEPT, THE ENEMIES OF
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD HAVE SUCCEEDED IN
SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH; AND, OF COURSE, THE TRUTH
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN. THEY WOULD HAVE
PERMANENTLY ESTABLISHED THEIR DECEIT AND
FALSEHOOD IN THE WORLD FOR THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE.
GOD'S WORDS ARE SACROSANCT
Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that heaven and earth will
pass away, but not an iota of the word of God shall pass
11. away. (Matthew 24:35). The word of God is not deficient in
power. That is why when the word of God is spoken, it will
do mighty works; and can break mighty stones to manifest
its purpose. (Matthew 21:44). Right from Genesis to Malachi,
the words prophesied about Him had been consummated. If
you are told by someone that there will be rain by 12 noon
the following day, and eventually the rain does not fall, how
will you regard such a person? Similarly if a being tells you
that there will be a heavy down-pour by noon tomorrow, and
by noon the following day it rains cats and dogs, how shall
you regard that personage?
THAT IS HOW THE SPIRITS OF FALSEHOOD AND ERROR
ARE BEING DIFFERENTIATED FROM THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
IF A PERSON SAYS THAT BY 12 NOON THE NEXT DAY
THERE WILL BE RAIN, AND EVENTUALLY BY THAT TIME
THERE IS NO RAIN, THAT SPIRIT IS NOT FROM GOD. BUT IF
HE PREDICTS THAT THERE WILL BE RAIN AND IT RAINS AS
PREDICTED, THEN THAT SPIRIT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE
FATHER ALMIGHTY. THAT IS WHY HE IS THE TRUTH AND
HIS WORDS ARE TRUE. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
INTIMATED HIS DISCIPLES THAT THE COMFORTER, AND
EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH SHALL BE SENT WHOSE
WORDS SHALL BE TRUE. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE
COMFORTER SHALL TEACH AND LEAD ALL TO THE
ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. (John 16:12-14).
It was absolutely apparent that Our Lord Jesus the Christ
surrendered His life, and He had the power to take it back.
(John 10:18). It was he who deliberately volunteered His life
and Himself to the scribes, the Pharisees, and the Chief
priests. It was the efficacy of His words which manifested
when He said that He would die but that His Father shall
12. make Him rise up on the third day. It is pathetic that the
whole world has accepted the false doctrine of the so-called
Christians that Our Lord Jesus the Christ was killed on
Friday. It is a misleading concept which should be
disregarded.
Our Lord Jesus Christ had said that as Jonah the fifth minor
prophet, was in the belly of the whale for three days and
three nights, so shall the Son of God be in the heart of the
earth for three days and three nights. He said,
"Nevertheless, I have many things to say unto you but you
cannot bear them now. But when the Spirit of Truth shall
come, He shall teach and lead you to the accurate wisdom
of the truth.
THE BIBLE CONFIRMS THAT CHRIST DIED ON THURSDAY:
We have not come here to joke, that is why we started
commemorating the events of His death since last week. He
was killed on a Thursday, and He remained there in the
heart of the earth. You can then see that the serious
miscalculation of the orthodox churches is very much at
variance with the biblical records. Ironically, these are the
very people who boast that they have been to seminaries
and colleges of theology and religion to get masters and
doctorate degrees in Theology and Religion. They are not
even conversant with simple biblical events and
calculations.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS CONDEMNED TO DEATH ON
THURSDAY MORNING ABOUT 6 A.M. IF HE HAD BEEN
KILLED ON FRIDAY AS ADVOCATED BY THE CHURCHES OF
CHRISTENDOM, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A
13. MATHEMATICAL ERROR IN CALCULATION AS HE
RESURRECTED ON SUNDAY AT 6 A.M. IT IS THIS
SIGNIFICANT EVENT THAT HAS CAUSED THE
BROTHERHOOD WORLD TO SET ASIDE EVERY WEDNESDAY
OF THE WEEK FOR "WATCH AND PRAY" TO COMMEMORATE
THE UNIQUE EVENT WHICH USHERED IN A HALLMARK IN
THE EXISTENCE OF THE ENTIRE HUMANITY.
CHRIST REMAINED IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH FOR
THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS:
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS ARRESTED AND ARRAIGNED
BEFORE THE ELDERS, PHARISEES, SCRIBES, AND THE
CHIEF PRIESTS AT 3 A.M. FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THIS WAS AFTER THE LAST SUPER HE HAD ARRANGED FOR
THAT NIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE JEWS, FROM 6 A.M. TO 6
P.M. WAS ONE DAY, AND FROM 6 P.M. TO 6 A.M. WAS
CALCULATED AS ONE NIGHT. IT STANDS TO REASON THAT
FROM 6 A.M. ON THURSDAY TO 6 P.M. ON THE SAME
THURSDAY, WAS ONE DAY, AND FROM 6 P.M. ON
THURSDAY TO 6 A.M. ON FRIDAY WAS CALCULATED AS
ONE NIGHT. IN THE SAME VEIN FROM 6 A.M. ON FRIDAY TO
6
P.M. OF THE SAME FRIDAY WAS TWO DAYS. SIMILARLY,
FROM 6 P.M. OF FRIDAY TO 6 A.M. OF SATURDAY MADE
TWO NIGHTS. FROM 6 A.M. OF SATURDAY TO 6 P.M. OF THE
SAME SATURDAY, COMPLETED THE THREE DAYS, AND
FROM 6 P.M. OF SATURDAY TO 6 A.M. OF SUNDAY
CONCLUDED THE THREE NIGHTS. THIS IS THE VERITABLE
TRUTH WHICH HAD ELUDED THE WORLD. THE SPOKEN
WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS THE CHRIST HAVE
MATERIALIZED, AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ALL THESE
14. TRUTHS ARE SAVED AND ALL THEIR INEXPLICABLE
PROBLEMS ARE WIPED AWAY.
WHY WE HOLD THREE PENTECOSTAL MEETINGS IN A YEAR:
Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "But the Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He
shall teach you all things and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John
14:26). The April Pentecostal is significant in that it
symbolizes the period Our Lord Jesus Christ suffered untold
hardship, torment, and death just for the atonement of the
sins of mankind. It is a period to celebrate the true essence
of His mission, torture, death, and resurrection. In the same
vein the August Pentecostal Assembly connotes the
period when Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized and
revealed to the entire world by John the Baptist. That is why
the observance is so tremendously significant. It was then
that He was exposed to the Jewish nation and the entire
world for acknowledgment and identification as the Lamb of
God who takes away the sins of mankind. Hitherto, He had
been in the world for a good twenty-nine years, but they
knew Him not until He got baptized at the age of 30 years.
That is why we usually rejoice greatly in the
commemoration of his revelation through water baptism.
We observe the December Pentecostal in remembrance of
His divine Birth. If He had not been born of a woman, He
would not have been revealed as the Lamb of God who takes
away the sins of the world. If He had not been revealed, He
would not have died to shed His precious blood for the
remission of the sins of the entire humanity. Also, the
15. December celebration is not for Leader Olumba Olumba Obu,
but for the commemoration of the divine birth of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. It is axiomatic therefore that where there are
those who investigate and ask questions, there must also be
a person around to give answers to such questions.
This can be likened to a lingering cough that would not
leave its victim. The Zairians, the Liberians, the Americans,
the Russians, the Europeans, the Germans, and the rest of
you might have asked why the three Pentecostal Assembly
Meetings
are held. These are periods when Our Lord Jesus Christ
must be glorified with activities featuring songs, dancing,
testimonies and recitations, in sober reflection of the real
essence of observation of these spectacular and historic
events in the life of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. While
doing this, such worldly tendencies as the beating of drums,
burning of candles and incenses, use of perfume, pouring of
libation should be avoided. His name can better be glorified
and lauded without the use of all these things. I would like
our first bible lesson to be read once more. Inform your
parents, friends, relations and everybody else why these
three Pentecostal Assemblies must be commemorated.
First Bible Lesson: Matthew 16:21
"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer
many things of the elders and chief priest and scribes, and
be killed, and be raised again the third day."
THE HOLY SPIRIT VINDICATES CHRIST:
Brethren, His words are just like a warehouse stored with
articles of merchandise, riches, and all precious things
16. which are supplied to people as need be. This is what
I have presented to you for now. It is our bounding duty to
correct the erroneous arithmetical calculations of the three
days and three nights duration of Christ's death and end the
perversion of the truth by the world. Before the eventful
arrest, torture, death, and resurrection, He made a
statement that on the third day, God will make him rise from
the clutches of death and Hades. But for the arrival of the
Holy Spirit, His detractors would have falsified history to
their benefit. They would have their own advantage.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIVERSITIES OF OPINIONS AND
CONCEPTS ABOUT THE SOURCE OF POWER IN
BROTHERHOOD. I WOULD WANT TO IMPRESS UPON THEM
THAT THE SECRET POWERS IN BROTHERHOOD COME FROM
THE STRICT OBSERVANCES OF THESE DIVINE EVENTS FOR
THE GLORIFICATION OF HIS NAME. I want to prove the
importance of this week to you just like a proof in Geometry
or Algebra. The Friday is Passover day. Saturday was usually
observed as the Sabbath day. In view of the foregoing, they
decided to avoid causing an uproar (not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar amongst the people). (Matthew 26:5)
They knew very well that the masses would challenge the
rulers on why the holy and historic days should be defiled.
Since He was God who had foreknowledge of their plot and
conspiracy, Our Lord Jesus Christ celebrated the feast of
Passover on Wednesday.
This shows that the wisdom of God is far greater than the
wisdom of men. If He had not wished subsequent
arraignment before the elders, Pharisees, scribe, and chief
priests, it would not have been possible
17. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF "WATCH AND PRAY"
That is why we in Brotherhood world do not joke with the
Wednesday "Watch and Pray" and the love-feast which often
follows the divine observance. This celebration reflects His
acceptance and preparedness to die so that the entire
humanity might be salvaged with His stainless blood. The
Jews and the Scribes once asked why His disciples never
fasted like the rest of the people. Our Lord Jesus Christ told
them that it was not necessary for His disciples to do so
when the bridegroom was with them. (Luke 5:34). That is
why it is declared that those who believe fervently in him
are saved. I WANT YOU TO OBSERVE THIS "WATCH
AND PRAY" VERY STRICTLY RIGHT FROM NOW
UNTIL ETERNITY. As many as will observe it, all their
problems, sickness, court cases, poverty, and wretchedness
are wiped away. If you observe all these things, as spelt out
in today's gospel, you are saved and all your problems are
taken away.
I have other sheep which are not of this fold. They all must
be brought so that there might be one fold and one
shepherd. Our Lord Jesus Christ had finished His works, and
the ball is now in the court of the people of the world to
observe the three significant events in Brotherhood. And
those who sincerely and diligently observe these remarkable
events are liberated and saved. Who are those clad in white
garments? They are those who have come out from great
tribulations and have been washed clean by the blood of the
Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. (Revelation
7:13-14). The three days (72 hours) dry fasting is a great
cleansing exercise in this new kingdom. And it is pathetic to
notice that many brethren do not observe it and the
18. Wednesday " Watch and Pray." The "Watch and Pray" is one
of the events observed in respect of the death of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. We who suffer with Him are fully liberated from
the bondage of Satan. These observances reaffirm our belief
in Him. This is also the enabling factor which by His grace
we are salvaged. We are also glorified with Him.
THE BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST MADE THE LAST
REPARATION FOR OUR SINS:
The death of Our Lord Jesus the Christ was never caused by
forces outside the confines of His authority. The supreme
sacrifice paid by Our Lord Jesus Christ was
the last sacrifice to be ever made for the atonement of
mankind. It was comparatively unique, for the sacrifices of
goats, sheep or cows were no longer tenable or acceptable,
since the life of man could not have been atoned for by the
blood of sheep, ram or cow. All such sacrifices were carnally
oriented. Our Lord Jesus Christ had to shed His precious
blood for the complete remission of the sins of mankind.
THAT IS WHY THERE SHOULD BE NO BEATING OF DRUMS,
BURNING OF INCENSE OR CANDLES, POURING OF
LIBATION, NOR USING OF PERFUMES. ALL SHOULD BE IN
REVERENCE WITH ABSOLUTE HUMILITY, MEEKNESS, AND
LOVE FOR CHRIST. That is why our Lord Jesus said through
the mouth of our brother Paul that Christ sent him not to
baptize, but to preach the gospel of the death of Our Lord
Jesus Christ on the cross for the liberation of those who had
been spiritually enslaved. The preaching of the cross is to
them that perish, foolishness. But unto us who are saved, it
is life eternal. (1 Corinthians 1:18). That is why I am telling
you that by listening to this life-giving gospel, those whose
spirits were dormant and dead, are restored to life again. All
19. sorts of problems and encumbrances are taken away once
and for all from them. Let our second lesson be read again.
Second Bible Lesson: John 2:19
"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
THE TRUTH HAS COME:
Brethren, have you heard that text? The Bible says "In the
mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word of truth be
established." (2 Corinthians 13:1). The second lesson
confirms the three days and three nights death bid and its
unique essence. He said, "Destroy this temple, and I will
build it after three days." It also serves as a releasing factor,
setting free those who were in spiritual as well as mental
bondage. Those who were condemned have been freed, and
those who were sick in the hospitals are now permanently
healed.
It is said, "He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own
glory, but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same
is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." (John
7:18). Those servants who speak and seek for their glory,
there is not even an iota of truth in them. They are fraught
with falsehood.
I want the conventional churches to prove their case with
regards to the timing and calculation of the number of days
Our Lord Jesus the Christ was in the heart of the earth. We
in Brotherhood have proved our case mathematically, with
biblical support. The orthodox churches claim that theirs
20. was on Friday. God had allowed them to falsify the event for
so long until they prove themselves wrong. The Spirit of
Truth has come to unfold all things for the salvation of
mankind.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER. TO
ASSUME SUCH A POSITION IS WRONG. THIS IS A UNIQUE
AND IMPORTANT MATTER WHICH BOARDERS ON THE
FOUNDATION OF HUMANITY, SO IT IS WRONG TO TREAT
THE MATTER SO LIGHTLY. Their calculation from Friday will
land them on two days and two nights during which time Our
Lord Jesus Christ would still have been in the heart of the
earth. This is wrong and we cannot compromise or condone
this satanic and misleading assumption.
THAT IS WHY THIS GOSPEL MUST BE DOCUMENTED FOR
THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE SALVATION OF MANKIND.
THEIR DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO FALSIFY A GENUINE
TRUTH AND TO THROW DUST INTO THE EYES OF THE
ENTIRE WORLD MUST BE EXPOSED. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPOSE THE TRUTH UNTIL SATAN AND HIS AGENTS
VACATE THEIR THRONE. A member, through false vision,
told a brother to reject his real wife (sister) with children
and to take a new wife, claiming that the Father ordered him
to give such a vision. But the poser is: why should the Father
do a thing like that? Which Father in the first place? Such a
thing is outrageous and questionable. It is equally blackmail
and blasphemy. I am opposed to any falsehood in the world,
including the Jesus Christ's death saga. The calculation is
misleading. The case of His birth, which has been fixed for
convenience, could be tolerable, but for His death, upon
which the salvation of the generality of mankind depends,
nobody should toy or falsify it on any account.
21. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY FALSE DOCTRINE TO BE SPREAD
AGAIN IN THE WORLD, AND IT IS AGAINST THIS
BACKGROUND THAT I AM ADVOCATING THAT NOTHING
SHOULD BE ADDED OR SUBTRACTED AT ALL IN THIS CASE.
It is said that if a tree does not fall, the axe shall not rest.
Right now a greater number of the conventional churches
have begun to adopt the Brotherhood mode of worship. This
is indeed welcome news. Man or Satan is prone to sin,
falsehood, and blunders. But God is truthful and all his
actions are true and just. This should help us to realize that
sooner or later His words must be fulfilled.
DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NOT SAY, "EVERY PLANT
WHICH MY HEAVENLY FATHER HATH NOT PLANTED SHALL
BE ROOTED UP?" (MATTHEW 15:13). THAT IS WHY ALL
FALSE AND MISLEADING OBSERVANCES ABOUT HIS DEATH
AND OTHER ISSUES MUST BE CRUSHED.
His death and resurrection form the foundation which must
be celebrated with pomp and joy. His death has been the
last covenanted arrangement, and that was why He said, " It
is finished, " (John 19:30) as He allowed His precious blood
to be spilled for atonement of the sins of men. This supreme
sacrifice has superseded other sacrifices of goats, sheep or
rams, and has wiped away all sinfulness. To this end,
nobody has the right to impute sin on other people. The sins
of Adam had condemned the entire human race to death, but
his unique and supreme sacrifice has come to redeem
humanity from the bondage and the clutches of Satan.
THEREFORE IF ANY PASTOR SAYS HE SUFFERS FOR
ANYONE'S SAKE, HE IS A BLATANT LIAR. IT IS OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WHO HAD REALLY SUFFERED FOR ALL
MANKIND. IT IS SAID THAT THE TESTIMONIES FROM TWO
OR THREE PEOPLE CONFIRM THE TRUTH. Brethren let our
22. golden text be read.
Golden Text: Matthew 12:40
"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the
whale's belly; so shall the son of man be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth.''
THE TIMING OF CHRIST'S DEATH:
YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD THAT THE JEWS
COUNTED 6 A.M. TO 6 P.M. AS ONE DAY AND FROM 6 P.M.
TO 6 A.M. AS ONE NIGHT. IT THEN PROVES THAT 6
A.M. TO 6 P.M. ON THURSDAY WAS ONE DAY, 6 P.M. ON
THURSDAY TO 6 A.M. ON FRIDAY WAS ONE NIGHT. FROM 6
A.M. TO 6 P.M. ON FRIDAY MADE THE SECOND DAY, AND
FROM 6 P.M. ON FRIDAY TO 6 A.M. ON SATURDAY MADE
THE SECOND NIGHT. THE THIRD NIGHT WAS 6 P.M. ON
SATURDAY TO 6 A.M. ON SUNDAY. BY THAT CALCULATION,
OUR SUBMISSION HAS BEEN PROVED.
We are waiting for the Popes, Archbishops, Bishops, and
Pastors of the orthodox churches to come and prove us
wrong. WE DO FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT NO SANE PERSON
COULD COME TO CONTEST THIS DIVINE TRUTH EXCEPT
SATAN AND HIS AGENTS. Brethren, that is why we have to
thank and glorify Him for this wonderful and recondite
wisdom exposed to us. On our part, as we believe and
practicalize this wonderful revelation, all our problems,
difficulties, sickness and deaths are taken away. Our Lord
Jesus Christ is the mediator of the new covenant, the only
true and sincere friend. If therefore we suffer with Him, we
shall also be glorified with Him.
THE GREAT EXPOSITION:
It therefore becomes absolutely reasonable that
Wednesdays and Thursdays should be regarded as holy days
23. and they must be set aside for observance of these historic
events. Those in secret cults and fraternities do know the
efficacy of the esoteric events but they have for years
hidden them from other inhabitants of the
world. They personally observe these holy days but they
would not expose the essence to other people outside their
secret groups.
IT IS MISLEADING TO SAY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
WAS DEAD WHEREAS HE IS LAVISHLY MOVING ABOUT
DOING HIS BUSINESSES. The esoteric wisdom the members
of secret cults were trying to hide are now exposed so that
the Bible prophesy might be fulfilled which says that
whatever had been hidden shall be revealed. (Luke 12:2).
THEY TRIED TO HIDE THE TRUTH, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
OF TRUTH HAS COME TO EXPOSE ALL THINGS. THERE IS
NO VARIABLENESS IN THE TRUTH.
The Jews in Jerusalem have not yet believed that Our Lord
Jesus Christ has come in the form of man. They are of the
opinion that Elijah must first come before the Messiah would
come. But when the Messiah - Our Lord Jesus Christ - was
with them, preaching and healing people all over the place,
they neither believed nor identified with him at all. They
wanted Elijah to crash-land like a bird from the sky. Their
unbelief has made them to be visited by untold hardships.
And in this era also, people are still expecting Our Lord
Jesus Christ to crash-land from the blue skies. Fortunately,
even the heathens have witnessed and have heralded to the
world that Our Lord Jesus Christ is now on earth. He is born
of a woman. It has never been heard that any person had
ever jumped down to earth from the sky. This is food for
thought for the inhabitants of the world.
BY NATURAL LAW, EVERY MAN IS BORN OF A WOMAN:
24. Do you mean to tell us that Our Lord Jesus Christ was not
born by a woman? Was the heavens not there for Him to
crash-land from? We do not want to divert into that area
right now, but we simply want to expose the necessary
ingredients to affirm the authenticity of this divine claim and
revelation. The three days and three nights saga are too
strong and important to be ignored. For God said through
prophet Isaiah that they will hear, but will harden their
hearts. (Isaiah 55:3). They do not want to see reason so that
they might be saved. It is the Father who is doing his work. I
do not see how a man could be so foolish as to fail to see
reason. A person who goes to Bible college or School of
Theology should be conversant with the Bible. Nevertheless,
this simple mathematical calculation has eluded them. They
do not realize that Our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on
Thursday. It is God who has beclouded their intellects and
has hindered them from seeing reason. When the angels told
them that this same Jesus which is taken up from you into
heaven (Acts 1:11), shall so come in like manner as ye have
seen Him go into heaven, the worldly people interpreted it to
mean that He will crash-land from the blue skies. It is
pathetic to realize that the simple meaning of this statement
is not known by the people of the world. The full meaning of
it all depicts that just as He was taken up as a human being,
it is in like manner, that is as a human being, that He shall
come back. Revelation 12:5 has clearly affirmed the truth
that He must be born of a
woman. It is pathetic that most of them who have graduated
from Bible Colleges or Schools of Theology, (and some have
twenty to thirty Bibles of various versions), have not been
able to give the correct interpretation to this simple bible
quotation. Brethren, we should watch out for what may
25. happen in the nearest future, it should not be a surprise to
you.
Brethren, I do not intend to take you further. A stroke of the
cane is sufficient to the wise. Those who have ears to hear,
let them hear. May God bless His holy words. Amen
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
