Revelation 1, 2, 3

 

The messenger who prepares the way & Promised Pastor

 

 

 

Main references: Revelation 1, 2, 3

What is the prophecy and its fulfillment regarding the messenger who prepares the way and the promised pastor, and what kind of people are they? The prophecy is God foretelling what He will fulfill in the future, and the fulfillment is God fulfilling His prophecy when it is preached to the whole world.

The messenger who prepares the way comes first before the promised pastor appears, and prepares the way for the promised pastor. Preparing the way is when the messenger who prepares the way makes known that the promised pastor prophesied in the Bible will appear. In the era of the Old Testament, Moses sending Aaron first to speak [to the Israelites] was preparing the way. Also, at the First Coming, sending John the Baptist first was preparing the way for Jesus. This is a fact known to everyone who is a believer.  

Then, who are the messenger who prepares the way and the promised pastor at the Second Coming promised in the New Testament? Why don’t the pastors let people know about them and the work they are doing? This is of quite a great interest in the era of the New Testament. If the messenger who prepares the way fails to carry out his duty, then it will be hard for the promised pastor to come and fulfill the duty that has been entrusted to him.


￭ The time of Revelation, the last part of God’s history


As seen in Revelation 1, 2, and 3, the seven stars (angels) who did the work of the lamps preparing the way was the messenger who prepared the way at the Second Coming. This messenger who prepared the way abandoned his flock of sheep and went out into the desert like John the Baptist did at the First Coming (refer to Mt 11:10-14, 11:7).

The messenger who prepares the way had a weak faith, and demonstrated unreliable behavior in every era. At the First Coming, Jesus said, “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.” Likewise, today, all the prophets or pastors, churches, and the prophecies of the New Testament have come to an end.

This is the time of the favorable season of ringing out the old and ringing in the New Year, where the previous era has ended and a new era has come. What is fulfilled in this new era becomes the eternal gospel (Rv 14:6).
 
The promised pastor has protected his kingdom and people with his life in all the eras, just as Jesus did at the First Coming (refer to Jn 10). The promised pastor can have such strength (power) because he has received and knows everything.
