Today, we are sealed by God (2 Cor. 1:21-22, Eph. 1:13, Eph.
4:30), we can’t depart from God, but in the TOJT, they can depart from God if
they take the mark.
Hebrews 4:7-11 – “Again,
he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it
is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not
afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest
to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also
hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall
after the same example of unbelief.”
Again, how does this line up with 2 Cor. 1:21-22, Eph. 1:13,
and Eph. 4:30? Right now we are sealed by God, but in the TOJT they are not,
they have to labor to enter into that rest.
Hebrews 6:4-6 – “For it is impossible for those
who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the
powers of the world to come, 6 If they
shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they
crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.”
Compare Hebrews 6:4-6 with Revelation 14:9-11. If a saved
person takes the mark of the beast, they can’t get saved, no second chances,
they are not eternally secure in the TOJT.
Hebrews 10:26-27 –
“For if we sin wilfully after
that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a
certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall
devour the adversaries.”
Again, compare this with Revelation 14:9-11, if a saved
person takes the mark, they will get God’s wrath. There will be no more
sacrifice for sins for that person.
Hebrews 12:14-16 –
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be
defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for
one morsel of meat sold his birthright.”
Compare this with Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 14:12,
holiness (keeping the commandments) is required for salvation in the TOJT.
James 1:22-27 – “But be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of
the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a
glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the
perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful
hearer, but a doer of the work, this
man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to
be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in
their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
Verse 27 also lines up with Matthew 25, the standards that
Jesus judges the nations with.
James 2:14-26 – “What
doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of
you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye
give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea,
a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy
works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that
there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But
wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not
Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon
the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works
was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called
the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how
that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise
also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the
messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also.”
Most clearest passage proving faith-works in the TOJT, non-dispensationalist
heretics can’t handle this passage.
James 5:11-20 – “Behold,
we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that
the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 12 But above all
things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth,
neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. 13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them
pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;
and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess
your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a
man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might
not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six
months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
brought forth her fruit. 19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth,
and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save
a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."
Compare verse 11 with Matthew 24:13, you have to “endure” to
be saved. You can also fall into condemnation in the TOJT.
Matthew 24:12-14 –
“And because iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold. 13 But
he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
You have to “endure” to the end to be saved, meaning you
have to refuse to take the mark (Rev. 14:9-11), and keep the commandments (Rev.
12:17, Rev. 14:12).
Matthew 10:32-33 –
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before
my Father which is in heaven.”
Compare this with Revelation 2:10-11. You have to be “faithful
unto death,” you can’t deny Jesus Christ before men.
Revelation 2:10-11
– “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall
cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have
tribulation ten days: be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of
the second death."
You can’t deny God before men (Matt. 10:33), you have to be
faithful unto death. You also have to overcome or “endure” to be saved.
Revelation 14:9-11
– “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The
same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of
their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
During the TOJT, you can’t take the mark of the beast. If
you take the mark of the beast, you will get God’s wrath and end up in hell, NO
EXCEPTIONS. Non-Dispensational heretics can’t handle portions of scripture like
this.
The real agenda behind the satanic heresy of
non-dispensationalism is getting people to think that they have eternal
security and are sealed with the Holy Spirit in the time of Jacob’s trouble, so
people will take the mark of the beast.
