INSTRUCTION

The word “INSTRUCTION” is found 33 times in the entire Bible, in 33 verses. 32 in the Old Testament and once only in the New Testament.

The word ‘TORAH”, which is correctly ‘TURE” or “TURO” because in ancient semitic Hebrew it is four letters namely: Tav, Vav, Ras and Ea (T-U-R-E). Others say it must be “TURO”. The word “TURO” is the Tagalog for “instruction” or “teaching”. It also means “direction”. It is the Lord who teaches us or who gives us instruction to walk into such right direction.

The word “TORAH”, “TURE”” or “TURO” means “instruction” and not the “narrow” LAW. It is not only the 5 books of Moses or the Old Testament Scriptures but it includes the New Testament Sciptures. Thus  “ALL SCRIPTURE” is what God gave us by the inspiration of God as “our instruction”.

How many Gods are There? The Bible declares there is ONE GOD only

HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE?

My Bible teaches that there is ONLY ONE LORD GOD.

How about yours?

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

====================================

Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Isaiah 45: 5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Philippians 2: 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 9: 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Joel 2: 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

1 John 5: 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Isaiah 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Isaiah 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Revelation 22: 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

JESUS CHRIST: THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY

JESUS CHRIST:

THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY

Romans 16:

25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

Paul the apostle of the Gentiles (Romans 11:13) received apostleship and grace from the Lord Jesus Christ. His work is to preach Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.

There was Jesus Christ according to prophecy, but this one is different. When the name JESUS was first revealed in the New Testament, according to Matthew 1: 21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins”, it was a prophecy fulfilled.

Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Joel prophesied that “whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance….”

Paul declared it in Romans 11:26 “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:”   

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It was a prophecy fulfilled. The Deliverer a.k.a. Saviour shall come from Zion/Sion and save his people. Jesus is that Saviour who saved his people from their sins.

And Joel’s prophecy was fulfilled in the New Testament times when “all who called the name of the Lord were saved”.

What is the mystery then?   The mystery is revealed.

Romans 16:

25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

The mystery was kept secret since the world began. But the next verse says that “NOW IS MADE MANIFEST”, and “BY THE SCRIPTURES OF THE PROPHETS”.

How was it revealed, that secret or that thing kept secret?  God’s revelation in the prophetic scriptures. The mystery was in the prophets or the prophetic scriptures. But it was veiled or kept secret. The people were reading the prophetic scriptures but they didn’t see the one hidden there. But now through revelation of Jesus, that secret was revealed finally.

Paul said “THE MYSTERY….. BUT  NOW IS MADE MANIFEST”. Let us compare this verse with another verse.

This verse is from 1 Timothy 2:16 from the Authorized King James Version only. It cannot be found in other versions.

 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH,

justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

What was manifest? It was GOD himself!  God was the One kept secret since the world began. Didn’t the Old testament saints know God? Yes, they knew him but not according to the New Testament Revelation.

God was manifest in the flesh. The God who was (and is) a Spirit (John 4:24) and the God who was “The Word” (John 1:1-3) who made all things, was MADE FLESH (John 1:14). He was born of a woman, made under the law (Gal. 4:4) as the Only begotten Son of the Father (John 1:18).

God was manifest in the flesh. And when he was manifest in the flesh, he was revealed to men. His glory was seen by men. God’s tabernacle came to men and God dwelt with men (Rev. 21:3).

When he was manifest in the flesh, the prophecy was fulfilled:

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Immanuel/Emmanuel means “God with us”.

Before this verse comes this one:

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

The angel said: Joseph should call the name of the baby as JESUS which means “Saviour” who shall save his people from their sins. And this is the fulfillment of the Immanuel prophecy. That God will be with men. And it was fulfilled. JESUS is GOD WITH US.

The GOD who was kept secret as a mystery that they didn’t know fully, which now is MANIFEST is JESUS CHRIST.

These three scripture passages teach about the GOD MANIFEST.

1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

The TRUTH is: JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH. Who? Jesus Christ. yes, it was Jesus Christ who was come in the flesh. It means even before he was born (as a man) Jesus Christ was already existing. There was already a ONE named “JESUS CHRIST”. Yes, but he was “kept secret”.  Even when he became flesh, died and rose again, he was not yet known by people, only by several few to whom the revelation was given. If they knew that the man they were rejecting was the “GOD” or the “LORD” himself, they would not treat him that way. When was this secret revealed? After his resurrection. And it was called a “progressive revelation”. Little by little, it was revealed until it became “FULL REVELATION” through the ministry of Paul the apostle who said that THE MYSTERY is “CHRIST IN YOU” the hope of glory (Col. 1:27).

GOD was manifest in the flesh. Who is that God? The God who created the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1:1). Who would expect that God would come in the flesh?  This God is JESUS CHRIST. Jesus Christ as the texts say “is come in the flesh”.

So it means before Jesus Christ was come in the flesh or manifest in the flesh, he was existing. As an angel? As God’s mind? As a special creature? As the Son of God? A BIG BIG NO! he existed as THE LORD GOD himself, but was not known by his name JESUS.

He was already named JESUS CHRIST but it was yet a secret. NO one knew about it, even Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David or even the wisest king ever, King Solomon. That mystery was kept secret since the world began.

He was JESUS CHRIST. He is JESUS CHRIST. He will always be JESUS CHRIST.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

The teaching that Jesus Christ began existing only when he was born is a lie. The teaching that the name Jesus became God’s name only when Jesus was born is also a lie. The truth is: Jesus was existing even before the incarnation. And also, the name of JESUS was already there even before the incarnation BUT IT WAS KEPT SECRET. That’s why in the Old Testament Scriptures we will never ever read “JESUS”. We can read Joshua, Jehoshua, Jeshua, etc. but not JESUS.

The name of JESUS is different. It is the name that is above every name (Phil. 2:10-11). We can read fragments or parts of the name but not the name itself.

Habakkuk 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

In this verse, the name JESUS is not mentioned, but the part of the meaning of the name is there, the word “salvation”. The word salvation is just part of the name and not the name itself.  Even quoting the Latin Vulgate that says “Iesu Meo” (my salvation) doesn’t prove that there was already the name of JESUS revealed in the Old Testament.  We can not trust the Roman Catholic Latin Vulgate. We have God’s Word today inspired and preserved for us in the Authorized King James Bible.

There was already Jesus in the Old Testament and his name was already Jesus in the Old Testament but God’s people didn’t know it. why? Because it was a secret!

Jesus was the LORD God and he is the Lord God. In the New Testament, the word used for the name “The LORD” and “Jehovah” is the name “The Lord”. It was not capitalized as it was in the Old Testament. 

Compare Zechariah and Romans.

Zechariah: “whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:”

Romans:  “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

What is the difference? In Zechariah it was the name of the “LORD”. In Romans it is the name of the “Lord”.

The name is no more ALL CAPS. And who is that “Lord”? Romans 10:9 says it is “The Lord Jesus”. And further revelation in Philippians 2:11 says that “Jesus Christ is The Lord”. Who is the Lord? It is Jesus Christ himself. Therefore the Lord of the Old Testament is the Lord of the New Testament, and his name is JESUS, the name that is above every name. And all who call on the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved, for there is no other name that can save but the name of the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ is the name above every name. No other name is higher than that name. Even the names God gave in the Old Testament such as: God Almighty, Jehovah, LORD, LORD of hosts, etc.? YES! Only the name of the Lord JESUS is the name that is above every name and by his name alone can we be saved.

The NAME of the Lord JESUS is God’s name but it was not revealed in the Old Testament. It was kept secret since the world began. It was hid from the sons of men. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and for ever.

The mystery that was hidden “BUT NOW IS MADE MANIFEST TO HIS SAINTS” is “CHRIST IN YOU” (Colossians 1:26,27).  It is GOD manifest in the flesh. Jesus come in the flesh.

According to prophecy, God will be with men and will save his people. It was a prophecy fulfilled through “JESUS” who will save his people from their sins.  It was a mystery “in the scriptures of the prophets” but now is manifest, and being preached according to the revelation of the mystery. It is now “REVELATION” and no more mystery, and prophecy.

Prophecy fulfilled. God saved his people “Israel” through the name of Jesus. That’s a mystery revealed and prophecy fulfilled.

The salvation of his people was a prophecy fulfilled. “And so all Israel shall be saved”.

But the salvation of the people who are not in prophecy is but “a mystery” and not in prophecy. That is another topic to be discussed next time.

                                                                                           

To the Lord Jesus be all the glory!

FULL REVELATIONISM

FULL REVELATIONISM

Revelationism or Apocalypticism. It is faith in the revelation of God. Apokalupsis [Apocalypsis] is the Greek word for “revelation”.

Biblical or Scriptural Revelationism. It is faith in the revelation of God in the Scriptures.

Full [Scriptural] Revelationism. It is faith in the full/complete revelation of God in the Scriptures, particularly the revelation of the mystery to apostle Paul and the fulfilment of all prophecy. That’s why it is full revelationism. All the prophecies are already fulfilled. No more prophecy to be fulfilled. All mysteries are revealed. So they are no more mysteries but revelation.

What is the difference between Full Revelationism and Dispensationalism?

There is a big difference. Dispensationalism believes that the mystery and mysteries are revealed, especially through the apostle Paul, but denies that all prophecies are fulfilled.  Dispensationalists are still futurists, believing in the future fulfillment of Biblical prophecies. Full revelationists believe both prophecies and mysteries are ended and now are all fulfilled and revealed.

Full revelationists may be categorized by others as dispensationalists for emphasizing the complete revelation of the mystery through the apostle Paul, but they are not because full revelationists don’t believe in the word “dispensation” as an age or a period of time, but rather as “stewardship”. They believe in the “dispensation of God” given to the apostle Paul, based on the “grace of God”. And this dispensation is the “fellowship of the mystery”. Full revelationists don’t believe in the seven dispensations of dispensationalism. And they don’t believe in future fulfilment of prophecies. They believe that all prophecies were fulfilled in Christ and by Christ in the past.

Full revelationists consider the progressive revelation of truths in the Scriptures, from the Old Testament to the Apostle Paul’s writings. The words of God are progressively revealed and become clearer and clearer as time goes by. And when the last epistle was written [that is by apostle Paul] all those revelations are completed and the words of God are purified. Full revelationists acknowledge that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God “for” our profit, but only the last epistles of Paul contain the “purified truths” for our obedience during this age.

What is the difference between Full Revelationism and Preterism?

There is a big difference. Preterism [full preterism] believes that all prophecies were already fulfilled in “the past” but denies the full revelation of the words of God and believing in continuous operation of the spiritual gifts and the obedience to the ordinances of water baptism and Lord’s Supper. [There are other preterists who are also cessationists]. That is why Full revelationists are not preterists. Full revelationists are cessationists and do not practice water baptism and Lord’s supper. Full revelationists believe that all the spiritual gifts in the New Testament have ceased. The Full revelation of the Scriptures replaced all these gifts. Full revelationists may be categorized by others as preterists but only in the sense that they believe that all prophecies are fulfilled. But full revelationists are not just believers of fulfilled prophecies but of the completed revelation of God. The word “preterist” cannot be synonymous to “full revelationist” because full revelationism is not just about the past but about “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Preterism that comes from the Latin word praeter for “past” doesn’t represent “full revelationism”. Preterists [especially the A.D. 70 preterists] contend that all prophecies were fulfilled in the past but fail to realize the “full revelation” of God’s words for our “present” and “future”. Full revelationists also recognize both the “literal” grammatical interpretation and the “metaphorical” allegorical interpretation and are not hyper-literalists and hyper-allegorists. Many preterists fail in this matter and make almost everything in the Bible as an “allegory” because they cannot explain how things were fulfilled if it is in a literal way. Also futurists and dispensationalists fail in this matter also and make almost everything as “literal” and contend that all things should be fulfilled literally or physically, therefore believe that those things cannot happen in the past but in the future. Full revelationists believe that “all prophecies” were fulfilled. Some are fulfilled “allegorically” and some are “literally”. For example, the prophecy of 2 Peter 3 was fulfilled literally when Jerusalem and the temple were burned down and destroyed in 70 A.D. The “heavens”, the “elements”, the “earth” and the “works” of Jerusalem and the temple were all “dissolved” (2 Pet. 3:10,11). Allegorically also, they were fulfilled for the “heavens” represent “the temple”, the “elements” the law of Moses, the “earth” the people and the “works” the carnal ordinances of the law (Heb. 9:10). In other words, Judaism was literally and allegorically destroyed. This destruction of the temple was just a “physical” expression of what already happened years ago when Christ died, was buried and rose again. The “new heaven and the new earth” were already created even before 70 A.D.

Some so-called “preterists” teach that “the resurrection is past already” (2 Tim. 2:18) and share with the error of Hymenaeus and Philetus. But other preterists and the full revelationists teach rather that the resurrection and eternal life are present and do not confine only to the previous age. Because Jesus Christ said “I am the resurrection, and the life” (John 11:25) and he is “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Heb. 13:8). Jesus Christ is “the true God, and eternal life” (1 Jn. 5:20). He remains and lives for ever as the “quickening spirit” (1 Cor. 15:25). Those in Christ shall all be made alive (1 Cor. 15:22). Other preterists teach that resurrection is only a “spiritual” resurrection and not a “physical” resurrection. But both resurrections “spiritual” and “physical” are “present” realities and not just past events. Those in Christ are quickened in Christ [regenerated] and receive “eternal life” [immortality] in Christ. They have the building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens [i.e. immortal, spiritual body] (1 Cor. 15:1-2). It is not a future event but a present possession of the saints. So when they die physically, they just put off the “mortal body” and continue to live with the “immortal body” for ever. A man cannot live in heaven as a naked “spirit” but a spirit clothed with “spiritual body”.

Full revelationists believe that Christ appeared to his people in the past many times. Before his incarnation Christ appeared to people in the Old Testament. Then he appeared again when he was made flesh to all men (Titus 2:11; 3:4) and dwelt among men and died for men. Then he appeared the second time (Heb. 9:28) in 70 A.D. But that’s not the end of his appearing. He appeared, is appearing and is going to appear to and with everyone (1 Cor. 15:23) of his saints (Col. 3:4). His appearing and his kingdom (2 Tim. 4:1) for “full revelationists” are not just “past” or “future” events but “present” realities. That’s why full revelationists are not preterists or futurists.

What is the difference between Full revelationists and other revelationists?

Other revelationists believe in the revelation of God, depending on what “God” they believe than the God of the Bible. These revelationists may be Christians or from world religions. These revelationists believe in the continuous revelation of their God and not the Scriptural God.

Scriptural revelationists believe in the revelation of God written in the Holy Scriptures. But some Scriptural revelationists believe that God revealed his will not only through the Scriptures but also through nature, spiritual gifts and other means.

Full revelationists are Scriptural revelationists who believe that God revealed his words in the past through prophets and apostles that he sent to his saints and they were all written down in the 66 books of Scriptures and after that doesn’t reveal outside of Scriptures. Full revelationists believe that all Spiritual gifts in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4 all fulfilled their purposes and ceased. And the completed written revelation is what perfects and furnishes believers today. Full revelationists believe that Christ “in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3) continues to “reveal” insights, wisdom, and “witty inventions” (Prov. 8:12) to his saints based only on the written words of God and not the extra-biblical revelations and visions. These insights are found through a diligent “study” of the word “rightly divided” (2 Tim. 2:15). Apostle Paul calls this as “the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him” and also “the [full] knowledge of the truth”. All truths were written down. And we have to discover those truths in the written words of God by diligently studying the Scriptures.

Full Revelationists share with preterism in believing that all prophecy is fulfilled and in dispensationalism in believing that all mystery is revealed through the apostle Paul, but goes beyond those two schools of theology, for the fulfilment and the revelation are JESUS CHRIST himself and not the events or history. Full revelationists believe in the continuous “revelation” of the written revelation of Scriptures but not through the spiritual gifts but through God himself speaking through the Scriptures.  Full revelationists believe that God continues to intervene in human affairs and is present with men through the Scriptures. In other words, even though full revelationists are cessationists, they believe that only the gifts ceased [for they were temporary in nature] but not God himself which is eternal. Full revelationists believe that during this age “the world without end” (Eph. 3:21) God manifests “the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:7).

Where in the Scriptures can we find the words “Full revelationism”? We cannot find these words, the same thing with dispensationalism, that we cannot find the word “dipensationalism” in the Scriptures but we can find the “root words”. The root word of dispensationalism is “dispensation” that is found 4 times in the Bible. The root word of revelationism is the word “revelation” that is found 10 times in the Bible; the word “revelations” that is found 2 times in the Bible; the word “reveal” that is found 7 times in the Bible; the word “revealeth” that is found 6 times in the Bible; the word “revealed” that is found 38 times in the Bible; the word “revealer” once. So the total is 64 times.

The word “full” is based on the word “complete” which is found 3 times in the Bible; the word “fulfil” 24 times; the word “fulfilled” 82 times;  “fulfilling” 3 times; the word “full” 260 times; the word “fullness” 25 times.

The word “FULL REVELATIONISM” came from these words above. It simply wants to communicate the “full”, “complete” and “fulfilled” revelations of God. 

The apostle Paul expressed this to the Colossians:

Colossians 1:

 “25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, TO FULFIL THE WORD OF GOD;

 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Full revelationism is communicating “THE FULFILLED WORD OF GOD”.  Apostle Paul, God’s apostle, teacher and preacher to the Gentiles was the one who “fulfilled [completed] the word of God” when he wrote his last epistle to the church. He was not the one who fulfilled prophecies, but it was Jesus Christ himself who fulfilled all prophecies. But it was to Paul to whom the mystery was revealed by Jesus Christ and he completed the written words of God by writing his last epistle to the church containing the revelation of the mystery.

Full revelationism is communicating

1.   the “full” words of God, “THE HOLY SCRIPTURES”, the inspired, complete, all-sufficient, inerrant, authoritative, accurately preserved 66 books;

2.   the “full” GOD, “CHRIST IN ALL” in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

3.   the “full” name of the Godhead, “THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”, the Great I AM, the name above every name;

4.   the “full” state of the saints in Christ as “COMPLETE IN HIM”, chosen, called, regenerated, justified, washed, forgiven, saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost baptized, circumcised without hands, quickened, empowered, preserved, eternally secured, reserved for eternity with Christ;

5.   the “full” church or body of Christ, “THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY-REVEALED” composed of all men without distinction;

6.   the “full” office of the minister, “THE OFFICE OF A BISHOP” that does all the work of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers [that ceased in the first century];

7.   the “full” grace of God for “ALL MEN”, God’s plan of salvation, redemption, edification eternity for all men, based on the full revelation of his grace and love.

Full revelationism is a view that presents the GOD of the Holy Scriptures as an eternal all-sufficient GOD, in whom we live and move and have our being. He is Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. He revealed himself to Abraham as Almighty God or Al Sadi [All-sufficient God] and to Moses as “I AM THAT I AM” [Eie asher eie (Exo. 3:14) or JEhoVAh  [JEVE not YHWH or Yahweh] (Exo. 6:3). When he was made flesh, he revealed himself by his complete redemptive name “JESUS CHRIST” [Jesuo e Masih] “Jesus Messias”, the name above every name (Phil. 2:9,10). In other words, this ONE GOD manifested himself in Scriptures as the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (Matt. 28:19). The name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost is JESUS CHRIST, in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col. 2:9).

It believes in the all-sufficient Holy Scriptures, composed of the 66 books. The complete revelation of God to men.

It believes in the all-sufficient work of Christ on the cross, when he shed his blood as atonement for men’s sins, when he was buried and rose again. The gospel of salvation is the power of God unto salvation. Men are saved by simply receiving this truth and trusting in Jesus Christ alone as the all-sufficient Saviour unto eternal life. All who believe in Christ yesterday, today and for ever receive eternal life.

It believes in the principle of “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15) as a method of knowing and discerning what part of the Bible was written “to” us and “”for” us and what are not “to” us and “for” us. It means that the Bible must be divided rightly between what was “to” Israel in the past and what is “to” and “for” us in the present age. All Scripture is “for” us but not all are “to” us. Dispensationalists call this division as “prophecy” and “mystery” division, but full revelationists call this as “mystery” and “revelation” division and “prophecy” and “fulfilment” division. 

Dispensationalists believe that prophecy fulfilment is postponed today during “the dispensation of grace” and shall be resumed in the future after the so-called “rapture” of the body of Christ. Full revelationists see it differently. They believe that all the prophecies were fulfilled in the past since Jesus Christ was made flesh until his second-time appearing in 70 A.D. That section from Old Testament until 70 A.D. was “to” Israel. All prophecies about Israel were fulfilled. That’s why after that, no more prophecies to be fulfilled. For full revelationists, there is no such thing as “postponement” theory. What is “to” us then? Dispensationalists believe that the epistles of Paul [13 epistles, others 14] were written “to” us. They call this age as a “parenthesis” between prophecy in the past and prophecy in the future. But full revelationists see it differently. They don’t call this age as a parenthesis but it is “the world without end” (Eph. 3:21). This world without end is not a “prophecy” age for all prophecies were already fulfilled. This world without end is not even called a “mystery” age for all mysteries were revealed already. But this age is called the age of “REVELATION”.  We are now in the age when we have the full “revelation” of God’s will. Tis not talking about the book of revelation which was fulfilled in the past. This revelation is the revelation of the mystery to the apostle Paul to whom was given the dispensation of God, to fulfill the word of God. Paul is the apostle of the Gentiles [nations]. He had a two-fold ministry. During the Acts period he was ministering to Gentiles who were actually “Israelites”. His letters to Thessalonians, Romans, Corinthians, Galatians and Hebrews were actually letters to “fellow” Israelites who became believers of Jesus Christ. His post-Acts ministry was not to Israelite-gentiles but to “all men” Gentiles (Eph. 3:9). His letters to Timothy, Titus, Philippians, Ephesians, Philemon and Colossians were his last letters and the last books of the Bible that were written.  These epistles were written “to” non-Israelite Gentiles like us. These epistles are “to” us. In these epistles the body of Christ today finds its doctrine, its walk and its destiny. All Scripture are “for” us but only Paul’s last 7 epistles are “to” us. This is also the stand of Acts 28 dispensationalism but they cannot be “full revelationists” because they still believe in the “postponement” theory and the future fulfillment of prophecies.

It believes in “the fellowship of the mystery” (Eph. 3:9). The mystery was already revealed, so it is no more mystery but a “REVELATION”. Therefore, this fellowship of the mystery is now called “Fellowship of the Revelation”. This fellowship is “the church by Jesus Christ throughout all ages, world without end” (Eph. 3:21) or simply “the church in the world without end”. 

Jesus Christ founded his church on his resurrection day. This church had ordinances, water baptism and Lord’s Supper. This church had “spiritual” gifts for edification. This church had an incomplete revelation. The Bible was not yet completed during their time. This church was primarily consisted of Israelites [Jews first and then next Greeks, Gentiles]. This church was an Israelite-church that’s why it was called “the flock of God” (Ac. 20:28). 

But after Acts, when the gospel was given to non-Israelites [all men], this church was transformed from prophecy to revelation. The spiritual gifts ceased when Paul wrote his last epistle, so there remained no more apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. What we have today are bishops and deacons (Phil. 1:1). Water baptism was no more practiced because baptism was only given to Israel (Jn. 1:31; Ac. 13:24). The Lord’s Supper was no more observed because it was given only to be observed till Christ comes, but the “church in the world without end” doesn’t wait for Christ because he didn’t leave them. He is present with them. This church was no more an Israelite-church for its identity is not Abraham, Moses or any Old Testament patriarch but Christ himself who is all and in all (Col. 3:11). So this church is no more called “the flock of God”. The Acts church waited for Christ’s coming in 70 A.D. and they were “caught up” in the clouds by Christ. There is only “One Church” and “One Body” but all the believers, Israelites [Acts church] and all men [post-acts church] are part of it. Now, the Acts church is no more on earth but in heaven. What remains is the post-acts church or the church in the world without end. The church in the world without end does not end. It is the eternal church of God as long the earth stands. This church looks for blessed hope and the glorious appearing of Christ. It is not a one-time event but it is the experience of every saint when they die. They appear with Christ in the superheavens (Eph. 4:10) with immortal body.

Full revelationism is a Scripturally rightly-divided view of theology. It honors Christ the source of revelation and realizes his indwelling presence through his words. It emphasizes the fulfilled prophecies and revealed mysteries. All fulfilled. All revealed. Therefore it is called “FULL REVELATIONISM”.

TO GOD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE ALL THE GLORY!
