Sharing my notes from what was taught by the late Teacher Evangelista (of the website thename.ph) during one of his Bible study sessions: This is about God's word to Satan in Genesis 3 verse 15.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 New International Version.
God said that Satan can "strike the heel" of the descendant of Adam and Eve. This means Satan can also deceive the descendant of Adam and Eve.
The mere fact that God gave Satan the capability to test or deceive the descendant of Adam and Eve, shows that the chosen one is just a man, prone to being deceived and capable of committing wrong but also has the power of overcoming it.
The question is, who is the descendant of Adam who was destined to crush Satan or the serpent's head or overcome their deception but can also be deceived and can commit wrong?
To learn the answer to the question, we must know first the real identity of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. Let us read Revelation 12:9
"The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." Revelation 12:9 NIV
“that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan,"- Confirmed. The serpent in Genesis 3:15 is none other than Satan.
Now that we unmasked Satan's identity, we can now know who is the descendant of Adam and Eve that he needs to deceive. Let us read Luke 4:3.
The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." Luke 4:3 (NIV)
Satan/Devil was challenging Jesus to turn the stone into bread. Therefore it is #Jesus who is the descendant of Adam and Eve.
We thought, as we were made to believe by the Churches and religious preachers, that Jesus overcame Satan in this event in Luke chapter 4, however, we did not give attention to what was written in Luke 4:13.
"When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time." Luke 4:13 (NIV)
"he left him until an opportune time"-As we can read, the temptation did not end there. Satan or the Devil came back to Jesus at an opportune time. This is what religions did not teach us.
What did Religions not tell us about Jesus? Aside from not telling us that Satan came back to deceive Jesus a second time.
They also did not tell us that Jesus was capable of committing wrong.
Let us read God's words in 2 Samuel 7:12-14
Be informed about the real word of God as to why He had sent Jesus:
“When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. II Samuel 7:12 (NIV) The promise was given to David - a descendant will come from his bloodline. What would be the work of the descendant?
“He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever...” II Samuel 7:13 (NIV)
The first choice was King Solomon - a “real son” or descendant of David. King Solomon built the house with the Name of God. (1 Chronicles 22:9-13)
What was the promise of God?
“I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS – II Samuel 7:14 (NIV)
“WHEN HE DOES WRONG” – the descendant of David would be punished. King Solomon was not punished by “the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men", (I kings 11:1-13, v.41-43). We do know that Jesus was punished in that manner.
In the said verses: 2 Samuel 7:12-14 (NIV) – we can read that God speaks of a coming offspring of David and not a literal "son of God" as the religions preach.
And in: You will be with child and give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. Luke 1:31-32 (NIV)
"will be called" – as you have read it, Jesus was only a son or a descendant of David not a real “son of God", he was just a man.
“The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.” – It is very clear; it is David that Jesus was descended from - meaning that he (Jesus) is not a real Son of God as the religions had preached.
Was Jesus, the descendant of King David punished by the rod and floggings of men?
All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. Matthew 27:25-26 (NIV)
Indeed, Jesus was flogged by men, as God stated in His prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 - “I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS."
It is time to open OUR EYES and UNDERSTAND what God clearly said--Did God say in His prophecy that the descendant of David (who is Jesus) - will be flogged by men for the sins of mankind or for his (Jesus) own wrongdoing?
Are the religions and the Apostles right in preaching that Jesus was flogged for our sins when we read God’s own words in 2 Samuel 7:12-14?
No, because God clearly said that such floggings will happen to David’s descendant (Jesus) once he commits wrong.
Since Jesus was punished with the floggings of men because of him committing wrong, it means Satan was able to deceive him just like what happened to Adam and Eve.
Jesus’ brutal and humiliating death is the undeniable proof that he failed in his mission and not for mankind’s salvation.
This also explains why the world is under all this suffering as all this time, we have been made by churches and religions to revere and worship a man punished by God with the floggings of men because of his (Jesus) wrongdoing.
You can learn more by reading the Bible revelations of the late Teacher Erano M. Evangelista from the website: www.thename.ph
In one of his Saturday Bible sessions, our late Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista once shared how the Bible speaks about a coming conflict between nations in the Pacific region that would eventually include the Philippines.
He also showed God's instruction in the Scriptures on what our world leaders and people of all nations should do to prevent it from resulting in a devastating global war.
Let us read Ezekiel 39:6-8
"I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD." Ezekiel 39:6 (NIV)
To understand what "Magog" means. Let us read Revelation 20:8
"and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth - Gog and Magog - and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore." Revelation 20:8 NIV
According to the late Teacher Evangelista, "Magog" - pertains to all the world nations. When God said, "I will send fire on Magog" (in Ezekiel 39:6), there would be great trouble worldwide. We are witnessing how leaders of nations and peace organizations such as the United Nations cannot put an end to the ever-escalating armed conflicts.
Reading again Ezekiel 39, verse 6:
"I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD." Ezekiel 39:6 (NIV)
"in the coastlands"–The armed conflicts' impact will affect all nations and lead to the possibility of an all-out war here in the Pacific.
"they will know that I am the LORD."– These events happen not because the world will end. It is a sign that God is now making known His actual Name.
To continue in verse 7:
'I will make known my holy Name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy Name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel. Ezekiel 39:7 (NIV)
As we can read: "I will make known my holy name among my people Israel." -
The passage means that from the coastlands or the Philippines (an Island nation), God made Known His great Name to the people of the world through His prophet like Moses, the late Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista via the website thename.ph.
"I will no longer let my holy name be profaned" - God is doing all these because His Name is being profaned.
The passage also reads: "the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel."-
The passage means that when the whole world gives their full attention to learning the Bible revelations of the late Teacher Evangelista about the Name of God on thename.ph website (and on this website thetruenameofgod.com), people will then understand why throughout history, God had protected the Jewish people against those who wanted to eradicate them.
However, with the great revelation of the Name of God on the said website, our Jewish brethren would have to acknowledge God's proper Name for God to save them.
To continue our reading in Ezekiel 39:8
It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD. This is the day I have spoken of. ' Ezekiel 39:8 (NIV)
As the passage reads: "It is coming! It will surely take place" - Though this Bible revelation was given and shared by the late Teacher Evangelista many years ago through the thename.ph website, this event will surely come to pass. What will happen next when all have acknowledged the Name of GOD?
Let us continue in Ezekiel 39:9
'Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up - the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel." Ezekiel 39:9 (NIV)
"Then those who live in the towns of Israel"- Does not pertain to the people in the Middle East. These speak about the nations who will call and acknowledge God's true Name, whom He will consider His new people.
"use the weapons for fuel and burn them up... For seven years they will use them for fuel" - The passage speaks about PEACE! When all people acknowledge God's true Name. The weapons of war will finally be burned and used for fuel for "seven years" - meaning, for many years - not only for seven years.
The "nuclear warheads" will be used for peaceful purposes as fuel for the nuclear power plants and will no longer be used for war.
To continue our reading in Ezekiel 39:10
They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign LORD. Ezekiel 39:10 (NIV)
The passage reads: "They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests" - because we will have other resources for fuel that will come from the weapons of war. We will not need much oil and cut plenty of trees. We will conserve our natural resources for the next generations to enjoy.
And:
"And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them."
The passage speaks about how the Bible revelations of the late Teacher Evangelista about the true Name of God on the said websites will expose those who have deceived humankind with their teachings about God. They had made humanity believe they were God's spokespersons and that God tasked them to receive money offerings, but they were not. People will discover how such false doctrines were the real cause of why they are living under God's curse instead of living under God's blessing here on this planet!
Why will knowing God's actual Name prevent these conflicts and disasters from worsening and lead to world peace?
Let us read Joel 2:31-32
"The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD." Joel 2:31 (NIV)
We witness through the internet how violence and killings happen everywhere. The threat of a deadly world war creates unrest for the people throughout the globe.
These events are signs of “the coming great and dreadful day of the LORD.”
Question: How can we be saved when the great and terrible day of the LORD comes?
Let us read Joel 2:32
And everyone who calls on the Name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls. Joel 2:32 (NIV)
What is this great and dreadful day of the LORD? Should we be excited about its coming? Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light. Amos 5:18 (NIV) Devout Christians, no matter what sect they belong to, wait for this day. They say that it will be the beginning of the return of Jesus. Contrary to their expectations, it will be a day of uncertainty. To understand further, let us continue our reading in Amos 5:19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. Amos 5:19 (NIV) It will be a day of peril, not a day of gladness that every Christian expects. It will be a day of danger.
Now, how can people be saved if such a day is coming? Let us now read Joel 2:32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the survivors whom the LORD calls. Joel 2:32 (NIV) When the “great and dreadful day of the LORD” comes, the people who call on God's true Name will be saved! Here is understanding: The events we are witnessing now signify that the terrible “day” will occur because we do not call on the true Name of the living God! Hence,the key or solution to all the problems plaguing our world today lies in turning to the true Name of God. When we collectively revere God's Holy Name, divisions will cease, religious conflicts will become a thing of the past, and nations will shift their focus from developing war technologies to creating technologies that heal our planet. We will then become one world, one people, under the one true God. Is it true that we will become one people under God when we call on His True Name?
Let us read in Zechariah 13:9
This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my Name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God.'" Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)
The people who call on the Name of God will be called the People of God.
Indeed, we become one nation when we call on God's true Name. No more division.
Suppose the present-day Jews will not acknowledge the Name of God that Teacher Evangelista had revealed in the Bible and continue to say that the God of their fathers will always be with them. What does God say about this? Let us read in: This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. "What do you see, Amos?" he asked. "A basket of ripe fruit," I answered. Then the LORD said to me, "The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer. Amos 8:1-2 (NIV) “I will spare them no longer” – Such is God's reminder to them. What is God's promise to those who will acknowledge His true Name?
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Psalm 91:14-16 (NIV) "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name"-- With such a great promise from God, let us all know His true Name in the Bible in www.thename.ph and on this website www.thetruenameofgod.com
We can now understand why the current escalating tensions in the Pacific between the U.S., China, and Taiwan that would eventually include the Philippines were mentioned in the Bible.
These events are signs. God wants the entire world to know that the Bible revelations of the late Teacher Evangelista about His Holy Name on the website www.thename.ph, is what everyone should heed to attain true world peace and prevent a catastrophic world war.
To the reader: This article is not about promoting a new religion or faith but only about sharing God's true message in the Bible.
Also, after learning the actual Holy Name of God on the said website, do not disclose the Name of God outright to others, especially your family and loved ones, to keep His Holy Name from being blasphemed. Let them read it on their own on the said websites.
