Good morning, friends – and truly a GOOD morning it can be to you who are the children of the living GOD!

Beloved in God, how can I get across to you that the teachings of today commonly accepted and believed by Christendom, concerning God and His plan of salvation for man, have at the most but kernels of truth, while the rest of it is but a filler, so to speak, foisted upon us by the enemy? In the clearest of words did the Son of God question if He would find any trace of the real Truth, as originally delivered to the saints, upon His return to earth. These were the words He used: "When the Son of man returneth, shall He find THE faith on earth" (Lk. 18:8)? In the King James Authorized Version, and most versions extant today, it merely reads, "...shall He find faith on the earth?"

As a scholar of Bible Greek, and a researcher into the original Bible manuscripts, I state with emphasis (and I challenge its refutation) that in all of the oldest manuscripts extant, we find tan pistin. Now the Greek word tan is the equivalent of our definite article "the." Wherefore, Luke 18:8 in the words of the King James Authorized Version (with the missing word properly inserted) would read, "Nevertheless, the Son of man having come, indeed will He find THE faith upon the earth?" While as I have previously pointed out to you, His explanation of that sad fact He put into these words: "While men slept, an enemy sowed the tares" (Matt. 13:25). The tares refer to the counterfeit seed which look like the genuine article, but are the works of the Devil. Because of this sad and staggering truth, He declared, "...Night cometh, when no man can work" (Jn. 9:4). That is the night of spiritual darkness in which Christendom has lived and toiled; and only now are the glorious rays of the returning daystar beginning to faintly stream over the eastern horizon, declaring to man the glory of His truth and the most wonderful news that this night of a great horror of darkness is almost past, when the very Son of God shall return to earth to establish for those who remain, a kingdom founded in righteousness, wrought in love, and overflowing with peace and happiness.

This The Voice of Tomorrow now heralds as the joyous Truths of His kingdom, not for a future life in an unknown world and a hopeso tomorrow, but a birthright inheritance in the wonderful kingdom of God here and now unto everyone who is born anew into this kingdom (becoming separated from the delusions of the present Babylonish system inaugurated by Lucifer, who is the present prince of this world).

In the last message I shared about the "how" of being born into the kingdom, that is, born anew, as Jesus spoke unto Nicodemus of old. And we read from John 5:24, "Verily, verily I say unto you, that He who hears My word and believes Him that sent Me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation (or judgment), but is passed out of death into life!"

And I drew your careful attention to the present and perfect tense "has"; that is, it is an accomplished reality, supplemented and underscored by His following words, "...is passed out of death and into life." Perhaps you might better understand it if we were to transpose His statements by saying, "...is already passed out of death into life, and shall have that life everlastingly."

Down through this night of a great horror of darkness, by and large Christendom has been taught to believe that in order to enter into this newness of a spiritual life, or to be born anew as the Lord said to Nicodemus, it was required that man should have some sort of spiritual obstetrician, and that this "new birth" could only take place at and through some ceremonial rite, according to the practice of that particular church. Yet you are challenged to find the faintest Scripture-backing for such a concept. It simply is not to be found! And it is certainly given the lie by the words of Jesus unto Nicodemus, which you will find in the 5th chapter of John's Gospel, that whosoever would hear the words of Jesus and believe in the Father Who sent Him, would then and there, at that split moment, pass out of death into life, and have that life everlastingly. What a glorious declaration of great joy unto whomsoever will hear the wonderful words of truth and salvation wrought by the Son of God for humankind!

Sad to say, after a great many years and hearing hundreds of sermons during my earlier life, never once did I hear a sermon founded in the 24th verse of John's Gospel, chapter 5. Why? Because it is a contradiction of dogmas commonly taught in churches of today. Naturally, they cannot preach on such a text: it would let the cat out of the bag! And for precisely the same reason was the definite article "the" dropped out when rendering into English the 8th verse of Luke's 18th chapter. Our great archenemy Lucifer conspired to subvert Christendom. He couldn't do away with the Christ. He couldn't do away with the basic fact of His mission to earth to redeem humankind, so he simply sowed sufficient spurious seed, half-truths, particle-truths and outright untruths mixed in with the truths Jesus taught, to completely subvert Christendom. That is the situation we have today! That is why we have our world preparing to destroy itself; because the teachings of Jesus Christ have been emasculated, they have been covered up by the dropping out of keywords, and given an entirely different slant through ceremonialism and invented dogmas by man.

Jesus Christ was a realist Who lived in the present, worked for the good of the moment, and laid down His life a ransom for many that you and I might enter into life everlasting, here and now, at this split moment, without the help of any spiritual obstetrician, so to speak, and commence right now to enjoy our birthright riches in that spiritual kingdom which the Son of God established for our here and now.

Why do we hear so much about the "gospel"? Why have we four books in the New Testament called "The Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John"? What does that word mean to the average Christian of today? How many Christians know anything about its origin and true meaning? Why indeed is it used? To the average Christian, by and large, it only refers to the story about the birth and life of one Jesus of Nazareth, and there it ends.

The New Testament has come down to us through the Greek language. In the Greek we find no word which is precisely the equivalent of our "gospel." The word we do find is Euaggelion, and this word means `glad tidings' or `happy news.' Why "glad tidings"? Because it carried the news of marvelously good things.

Why did not the churches down through the ages preach the "glad tidings of marvelously good things," instead of a so-called gospel which reeked with sulphur and brimstone and the unspeakable horrors of a Stygian night at the hands of an almighty monster?

I have no "gospel" to preach to you; that you will get in your churches. But I preach to you the wonderfully "happy tidings" of marvelously good things which the very Son of God came down from the Throne of glory to make manifest to earthlings, and to fully accomplish a marvelous work of redemption for humankind. And that He gloriously finished upon the Cross of Calvary at the moment He cried out, "It is finished" (Jn. 19:30)!

Very briefly now let us look back to the Old Testament at a highlight or two of the story of God's people, and to God's word of truth through His Prophets. In the Book of Hosea, chapter 12, verse 10, we read these words: "...I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the Prophets." The way this word "similitude" is used refers to a truth that God wished to show us, and He had it portrayed for us through a drama wrought by His Prophets or by His people. Now with this thought in mind, let us look back to the Israel people who were in bondage in Egypt. They were slaves to Pharaoh, the ruling monarch of Egypt, and they become a type of the people of the entire world who are in bondage to Lucifer, the reigning monarch of this present age (Jn. 14:30, 12:31). So, after 400 years, God appeared to Moses and sent him into Egypt to deliver His people. Thus, Moses becomes a type of the Great Deliverer Who delivers the children of God out of the power of PharaohLucifer: that is, Moses was a type of Jesus Christ, Who came into the Egypt of this world to deliver all who would hear Him, from the power of Lucifer.

But as it was in the days of Moses and Pharaoh, so has it been throughout the era of Christendom. Moses performed, at the command of God, almost a multitude of mighty miracles and strange works, yet Pharaoh would not let the children of Israel go. Similarly has it been throughout this era of Christendom: although mighty miracles were performed and have been wrought now and then, yet Lucifer has not permitted the children of God to depart from bondage unto him. In the days of Moses it was not entirely the fault of Pharaoh, for we find that the hearts of the Israel people in Egypt, although they longed for deliverance, were hard and slow to believe the words of Moses. And when they partly believed, they got themselves into trouble and were ready to stone Moses (Ex. 17:3-4). Not until Moses pulled the super-miracle, as commanded by God, did Pharaoh rise up in a hurry to boot out of his land the people of God. So similarly will this similitude He wrought through His people be fulfilled in the era of Christendom; it has been fulfilling down through the centuries and is shortly to be consummated to its fullest extent. Even as God sent Moses into Egypt saying, "...Gather the elders of Israel..." (Ex. 3:16), so similarly has God in these last days spoken out of the glory saying, "Call My people together" (yes, even to me).

Now, why were the children of Israel led out of Egypt? In order to be led into the land of promise. They had to come out of Egypt in order to go into the Holy Land. And what was the great outstanding injunction that God gave to His people through Moses at the time that they were to go into the land of promise? On numerous occasions He told them that they were to be a separated people, that they were to be a "holy" people: that they were not to mingle with the tribes, that they were to live by themselves, to not fraternize, but to have fellowship only among themselves. God chose them to become a key people in His service. And to do so, they had to become separated from the other tribes of the land and nations of the world, living exclusively by themselves without copying the ways and sins of the heathen tribes. In fact, that is the basic meaning of the word which has been rendered in our English "holy": separated from the world, devoted unto God. In fact, through His Prophets God repeatedly used those very words: "...Come out from among them, and be ye separate...," or holy (II Cor. 6:17). These were the conditions laid down by God in order that His people might enter the Holy Land and remain and prosper within that land of promise.

Now this, like many other events of the Old Testament, is but a similitude for us of Christendom, that we may fully and clearly understand the basic requirements unto birth into His kingdom (or, "land of promise"), and that we may live therein and enjoy to the full the goodness of that land.

This great and basic requirement, which God imposed on His people when they went out of Egypt to go into the land of promise, is that similitude in truth for the so-called Christian of today as to the how of being born anew into the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its chief fundamental is to give the boot to the Devil, to turn one's back upon the world, and out of a sincere heart receive the Son of God as one's absolute Head and guiding Star. YES! It is even as simple as that....

* "...the prince of this world (meaning Lucifer) approaches, and has nothing in Me!" * – Jesus, John 14:30

THAT was a restatement of the same truth: viz, "be holy." Can light and darkness mix? Can good and evil blend? Or truth and falsehood integrate? Can the eagle live in the ocean, or the sheep burrow in the earth?

We must have one or the other, and the strains must remain pure. Therefore are the children of Jesus Christ DIFFERENT, neither can they live or play in the camp of the enemy....

CHOOSE this day whom you will serve; then keep yourself accordingly. And you will share in the lot of those with whom you are found....

"...Come out from among them, and be ye separate!..."
