The Book of Remembrace

There is a special book that if your name is written in it you will gain everlasting life. Sounds like a fantasy. A fanciful tale to tell young children on a rainy night to get them to fall asleep. But the book does exist. Is your name in it?

Two thousand years ago the son of God, a powerful spirit creature, the very first and only direct creation by Jehovah God, the Almighty, the one from everlasting to everlasting, emptied his heavenly spirit form and was transferred to the womb of a woman and was born a son of man. When this perfect man turned 30 he appeared to John the Baptist to be baptized to do the will of his Father in heaven, and he had testimony from heaven that he was God's son, the one who was approved, whom Jehovah loved. This happened as the holy spirit descended upon the one known as Jesus now the Christ as that holy spirit in the form of a dove descended upon him and baptized him.

This Jesus Christ began a preaching tour of 3 1/2 years proclaiming aloud salvation throughout the land. He proclaimed the kingdom of God was at hand, and showing what God's kingdom would do he performed many powerful works. We know this happened because his followers penned these things for future generations. As the apostle John wrote:

"To be sure, Jesus also performed many other signs before the disciples, which are not written down in this scroll. But these have been written down so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and because of believing, you may have life by means of his name."-John 20:30-31.

Jesus also taught with authority. One such teaching was the illustration of the wheat and the weeds. In it Jesus foretold a coming apostasy among the Christian congregation and a long period of falling away from the true faith. True Jesus said that he had come to spark a light in the world and that it had been lit! There was nothing that could prevent that fire from spreading. But the evil resistor and tempter, Satan the Devil was allowed to infiltrate the early Christian congregation, in fact while the apostles were still alive the apostasy had gained root. Evil men from within the congregation looking down on others and wanting power and fame. But it wasn't until the last of the apostles died off that the apostasy took full control of a corrupted and completely apostatized congregation.

Pay attention and get the sense of it:

"Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. "-2 Thessalonians 2:3-7.

The apostasy had to come first, that is before the return of Christ. In fact those who acted as a restraint had to die before it was in full bloom. So the return of Christ was not going to come in the lifetime of the first century Christians. They were being taught this. They were all going to fall asleep in death. None of the Christians in the first century were going to live to see the return of Christ.

This is the greatest conspiracy! The conspiracy in religion. How Satan corrupted the Christian congregation, just as Jesus foretold:

"The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; the field is the world. As for the fine seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom, but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen."-Matthew 13:37-43.

When Jesus returned to heaven Satan would sow seed among the true Christian wheat, anointed Christians. That weed, false, imitation "Christians" in name only taken had taken full root when the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine made the apostate Church the official religion of the Empire. The Christian congregation had gone from being no part of the world and persecuted and hounded and killed by the state and other religious groups, to having been thoroughly infiltrated by Satan the Devil. God-dishonoring teachings such as the Trinity Doctrine, and Hellfire borrowed from pagan roots were incorporated into the "Christian" congregation.

Truly a long night of darkness for truth had begun to reign just as Jesus Christ foretold in his parable of the wheat and the weeds. But during the conclusion of the system of things, that is during the last days, when Jesus was to return, a return to the truth would happen!

The adherents of Christendom were never anointed, never had the truth, were never the wheat. They are weeds lost in the darkness of Satan's designs.

But during the last days something marvelous would happen. And that is where the title of this OP comes from. You see Jesus said the harvest is the conclusion of the system of things, and the reapers are angels. The angels directed a preaching work that commenced at the turn of the 20th century, and a return to the truth began among Jehovah's true anointed Christian followers. They returned God's name Jehovah to its proper place.

Powerful forces in religion have tried to stamp out the name of Jehovah, but Jehovah was not going to allow it to be. He declared long ago that he would raise up for himself witnesses to preach about his name to the nations that he is God:

"You are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah,
“Yes, my servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and have faith in me
And understand that I am the same One.
Before me no God was formed,
And after me there has been none."
-Isaiah 43:10.

When the last days began Jehovah had his book of life before him. It was always before him. In the past, righteous men and women who died faithful had their names written in this book. During our time there would be a people that would be speaking and meditating on Jehovah's name. And God from heaven would be paying attention! Not only paying attention, but he would be writing their names into the book of life:

"At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name."-Malachi 3:15.



Is your name found written in the "Book of Remembrance?" Certainly if you are meditating upon Jehovah's name, and speaking of it with your companion he is paying attention, bending his ear to listen to you speak about him, as it were. And you can be sure your name is found written in that book.

Are you a disciple of Charles Taize Russell by any chance?

I’m sorry but your narrative is as mixed up and messy as the bible stories you quote. First of all before we even go near the subject of translation from ancient Hebrew to Ancient Greek to Latin then into English. Let’s explore the credibility of the bible you have such faith in. You do know who decided which books would be included, all the books listed for inclusion at the council of Carthage where they were subsequently agreed. Athanasius the bishop of Alexandria put the list together and decreed it be written only in Latin (wonder why). In fact Constantine needed the bible to help in gaining support of the new religion in the east. You see the Christians in the east were being persecuted and seen as the Holy Roman Empire was starting to fall apart he believed that gaining support of these Christian’s would shore up the empire, hence he titled himself the protector of Christian’s and declared himself gods representative on earth. So everything your quoting was manipulated by Athanasius and Constantine. Athanasius now he’s an interesting character you should research him as he’s responsible for everything you believe in.

So the return of Christ was not going to come in the lifetime of the first century Christians. They were being taught this. They were all going to fall asleep in death. None of the Christians in the first century were going to live to see the return of Christ.

Why then did Jesus say ....

Luke 21:20 "...see Jerusalem compassed with armies"
Luke 21:25 "..signs in the sun, ...in the moon, ..in the stars; ...distress of nations"
Luke 21:25 "..they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory"
Luke 21:32 "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place."

The prophecies point to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. The return of the Son of Man for that generation seemingly did not eventuate. 200 generations latter why then are you are still waiting on a promise that was only given to the first generation?

If we look through history we will certainly find Christians that have attained high levels of spirituality. It seems most of those Christians weren't waiting to be saved for their own sake. But walked the path of Jesus for the sake of others. It seems we have a choice. We can either empower the imaginations of our mind. Or we can empower the love that exists in our heart and soul.

Its our mind that lives in fear.
Its our soul that is fearless.

it's called the book of life, everyone starts off in it, then depending on what you do and your choices, it is either erased, or written over in Permanent Marker, like a Sharpie.

It has a twofold fulfillment. It is obvious because some of the things were never fulfilled in 70 C. E. And it also has parallels with Daniel 12:1 which would not happen until our time.

You do know the book of Malachi was directed at the Israelites! Stop trying to do what religion has done for two thousand years try to scare people into submission.

Malachi's first message, to Israel's priests, ended in Malachi 2:9. The second message, scolding Israel for her unfaithfulness, began in Malachi 2:10 and runs through Malachi 3:6. The criticism of this particular lesson comes in two parts. First, Israel is marrying those who worship other gods (Malachi 2:11). Second, the men of Israel are divorcing their Jewish wives in order to marry these pagan women (Malachi 2:14). This, God described as an act of spiritual violence, condemned in the strongest terms (Malachi 2:16). That condemnation ends the first half of Malachi's second message.

Chapter 3, then, begins with God's promise to do exactly what Israel is—hypocritically—asking for. God will send a messenger to proclaim the imminent arrival of the Messiah (Malachi 3:1). And, one day, that Promised One will rule with all of God's power. This, however, will be a day of judgment and division. God's holiness and judgment is described in terms of fire and potent chemicals (Malachi 3:2). The second message of Malachi's prophecy ends with a stinging rebuke of Israel: the only reason they have not been annihilated is the unchanging faithfulness of God (Malachi 3:6).

What was scary about the comforting hope of eternal life?

"It has a twofold fulfillment."

There is another possibility. Have you read in Clementine Homilies, Book 3.4 (~300AD) - "falsehoods of Scripture are with good reason presented for a test”.

Consider the bible, a signpost, saying God is "this way". Obviously some followers will remain at that signpost thinking it is the final truth. That could explain why falsehoods have been purposely embedded into scripture. To force the more awoken followers to follow the path. To discover the absolute truth from God Himself.

There is nothing wrong with the hope of eternal life. But I’m not sure that was the teachings of Jesus. Jesus lived as a Jew “a Nazarene” in a Roman controlled country. His message was that his God is available to everyone (there were no Christian’s then). As the new religion grew various sects appeared with different opinions on what the religion was. During the following 300 years the all powerful Romans converted to Christianity and they had an emperor. The Church of Rome soon became the dominant religion and needed a set of instructions with which make sure their beliefs were promoted and spread abroad. As a result the bible was agreed (in accordance with Constantine’s approval). Once the church took ownership of Christianity they created the dogma using it to control the population. In order to do this they changed the narrative of the gospels to suit the new dogma.
For example The Vatican concedes that Mark was the first Gospel written (‘Catholic Encyclopedia’, Farley Ed., Vol. vi, p. 657), and that it later became the prototype of the gospels of Matthew and Luke. In the Sinai Bible’s version (the oldest version found to date) in the Gospel of Mark, we see dramatic variations from its modern-day counterpart with an extraordinary omission that later became the central doctrine of the Christian faith … the resurrection appearances of the Gospel Jesus Christ and his subsequent ascension into heaven.
It is no surprise that the church needed to control the masses and the threat of hell and damnation seemed a good option. The image that dominated in antiquity eventually prevailed. Hell was where the souls of the damned suffered torturous and unending punishment. Even after the resurrection of the dead at the end of the world, the wicked would be sent back to Hell for eternity.
By the beginning of the fifth century, this doctrine was taught throughout western Christianity. It was reaffirmed officially by popes and councils throughout the Middle Ages. So as you can see you are quoting a book which was created to take ownership of the new religion whilst at the same time control it and the population “if your good you go to heaven, be bad and you go to hell” by the way the Anglican Church recently admitted there is no Hell. The church uses the bible as a religion whereupon Christian’s who know better follow the teachings of Jesus.

Really! Is that it? I’ve just explained the gospels in the bible were picked by the Bishop of Alexandria! quoting Jesus using a book whose author is unknown which was written probably 70 years after Jesus died isn’t probably a good idea. I’ll say again your faith is based on a bible produced by the Church of Rome many again many of the gospels have been changed altered and added to in order to fit the Church of Rome dogma. And you’ve took it in lol.

There are many scholars who know of the falsehoods in the bible here’s an example

The 5th and 6th centuries was the 'golden age' of Christian forgery. In a moment of shocking candour, the Manichean bishop Faustus said:
"Many things have been inserted by our ancestors in the speeches of our Lord which, though put forth under his name, agree not with his faith; especially since – as already it has been often proved – these things were written not by Christ, nor [by] his apostles, but a long while after their assumption, by I know not what sort of half Jews, not even agreeing with themselves, who made up their tale out of reports and opinions merely, and yet, fathering the whole upon the names of the apostles of the Lord or on those who were supposed to follow the apostles, they maliciously pretended that they had written their lies and conceits according to them.

I have to feel sorry for you! Your looking for the light but because of history and culture you’ve been guided to a book corrupted by a bunch of old men, Church of Rome Bishops!

“What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church ... a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them."
– Martin Luther (Cited by his secretary, in a letter in Max Lenz, ed., Briefwechsel Landgraf Phillips des Grossmüthigen von Hessen mit Bucer, vol. I.)

As time went by the Bishops took even more control and wrote into your bible Sin. The corruption is even mentioned in your book.

"The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the temple of the LORD ; it belonged to the priests."
– 2 Kings 12.16.

I could go on but no point you’ve made your choice. It’s a bit like the old joke “your playing a concertos on the piano but it sounds terrible when questioned why so bad you say what’s wrong with it I’m hitting all the right notes. To be told yes but not in the right order”.

You should look for the real Christian’s! The ones who opposed Rome at Nicea. who the Roman church banished and made heretics the ones who had to leave the holy land for fear of persecution.

Augustine's letter of AD 600 to Pope Gregory, known as the Epistolae ad Gregorium Papam, it states:
* In the western confines of Britain there is a certain royal island of large extent, surrounded by water, abounding in all the beauties of nature and necessaries. In it the first neophytes, God beforehand acquainting them, found a church constructed by no human art, but by the hands of Christ himself for the salvation of his people
* Rome was not the founding city of Christianity; The first beginnings of Christian piety existed in Britain' its birthplace from AD 35.

Faith is having a belief in something even though there’s no evidence to support that belief.
Blind faith is having a belief in something even though there’s no evidence to support that belief, and substantial evidence to the contrary.

Good luck my friend maybe one day you’ll open your eyes!
