To the Church of Christ
We can not ignore that Jesus looked Peter in the eye and called him Satin.
Jesus did this right after renaming former Simon to Peter meaning the rock
and then giving him "keys" major authorities. Even if we believe that the
Pope's office has Satanic influences and even if we call his Church Hell
on Earth, We still must respect their claim to have had the keys to heaven
during the last 2000 years, the absent time of Christ. The fact is that
Jesus did not revoke these keys after seeing Satan in Peter.
Remember it was Peter that cut the mans ear off and also denied Jesus three
times.
Matthew 16-19 ...I will give you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens,
and whatever you may bind on earth will be the thing bound in the heavens,
and whatever you may loose on earth will be the thing loosed in the heavens."
20 Then he sternly charged the disciples not to say to anybody that he
was the Christ. 21 From that time forward Jesus Christ commenced showing
his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from
the older men and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the
third day be raised up. 22 At this Peter took him aside and commenced rebuking
him, saying: "Be kind to yourself, Lord; you will not have this [destiny]
at all." 23 But, turning his back, he said to Peter: "Get behind me, Satan!
You are a stumbling block to me, because you think, not God's thoughts,
but those of men."
Matthew 26-69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a servant
girl came up to him, saying: "You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean!"
70 But he denied it before them all, saying: "I do not know what you are
talking about." 71 After he had gone out to the gatehouse, another girl
noticed him and said to those there: "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."
72 And again he denied it, with an oath: "I do not know the man!" 73 After
a little while those standing around came up and said to Peter: "Certainly
you also are one of them, for, in fact, your dialect gives you away." 74
Then he started to curse and swear: "I do not know the man!" And immediately
a cock crowed. 75 And Peter called to mind the saying Jesus spoke, namely:
"Before a cock crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside
and wept bitterly. It's not really important at this point in time. For
the Bride of the Lamb is the City New Jerusalem. Churches are of little
concern at this point in time, the Nations and government are our concern.
Matthew 26- 49 And going straight up to Jesus he said: "Good day, Rabbi!"
and kissed him very tenderly. 50 But Jesus said to him: "Fellow, for what
purpose are you present?" Then they came forward and laid hands on Jesus
and took him into custody. 51 But, look! one of those with Jesus reached
out his hand and drew his sword and struck the slave of the high priest
and took off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him: "Return your sword to
its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53
Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father to supply me at this
moment more than twelve legions of angels?
Later John foresees the many other branches which would sprout from Peter's
Church and how they in order to create a place for themselves , deny the
Key which Peter's church had this denial is considerably a sin against
the Holy Spirit and these protester churches become the antichrist in order
to exist.
3 John 2-18 Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as YOU have
heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists;
from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour. 19 They
went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of
our sort, they would have remained with us. But [they went out] that it
might be shown up that not all are of our sort. 20 And YOU have an anointing
from the holy one; all of YOU have knowledge. 21 I write YOU, not because
YOU do not know the truth, but because YOU know it, and because no lie
originates with the truth. 22 Who is the liar if it is not the one that
denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one that denies
the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone that denies the Son does not have the
Father either. He that confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 As for
YOU, let that which YOU have heard from [the] beginning remain in YOU.
If that which YOU have heard from [the] beginning remains in YOU, YOU will
also abide in union with the Son and in union with the Father. 25 Furthermore,
this is the promised thing that he himself promised us, the life everlasting.
We must look forwards to the Kingdom keep our eyes on the prize. The Glory
of The Lord will be found in the national unity of all mankind it was for
that reason Jesus came, to set up a government to rule the Nations not
head a church. We can understand the connection between the new city and
the Temple by looking at Revelation.
Revelations “Philadelphia” 3-12 "'The one that conquers will make him a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it]
anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the
city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my
God, and that new name of mine.
Rev.7-15 That is why they are before the throne of God; and they are rendering
him sacred service day and night in his temple; and the One seated on the
throne will spread his tent over them.
Rev.1-11 And a reed like a rod was given me as he said: "Get up and measure
the temple [sanctuary] of God and the altar and those worshiping in it.
The aforementioned Peter's Key can be understood by the Morning Star which
is the last word of the Bible and also in the first book ever written Job
written before any other book of the Bible.
Revelation 22-16 "'I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to YOU people
of these things for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring
of David, and the bright morning star.'
Job 38 -7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the
sons of God began shouting in applause?
