From Eliyahu

Consider this:

The apostate Church has no plans or intention of restoring the "Body of Christ." In their minds they are already just fine the way they are. In their warped doctrine they imagine that they are "covered by the blood of Christ" so are already perfect, therefore having no need to change or repent. While they may occasionally pay lip service to so-called "Christian virtues" they don't really need to worry very much about perfecting virtues in their own lives, since they are already "saved" - so what's the point? Their easy grace message is a great seller. It is an instant balm for the consciences of liars, slanderers, thieves, idolaters and sinners of every sort, allowing all such persons and worse to fill the pews with a clear conscience. (We wouldn't want to put any of that nasty guilt or shame on the wicked, now would we?) Its a great deal for them - show up at church for an hour, put some paper or plastic in the plate, and your "holy" status is assured for another week. Plus, church is great for networking with other practicing sinners who are filling the pews, and filling their bank accounts. Is this everybody? No, but it is far too many.

Everywhere you go its all about numbers. How many views can you get? How many 'likes' can you get? - just like YouBoob or FarceBook. How many seat-warmers can you get to fill your megachurch? It is large numbers of people that validate anything, including a church or ministry - not the quality of the people who show up. By "quality" I mean Christ-like character - not wealth, status, and influence, which are highly sought after in the Church and everywhere else. Everyone on the broad road of the majority is chasing after the "beautiful" people who are so revered by this world!

Today, there is one virtue that is often touted. That virtue is "love." Not the principled sort of love, always balanced by the justice demanded in Scripture - no, not that. That would be too much like "The Law" - and we all know that was just for "those evil Jews," and we superior Gentiles don't need any of that "legalism!" This thing so often called "love" today is really not love of the Biblical kind at all, but is merely a sick tolerance of every sort of wicked conduct. It is the insipid value of this age, held high above nearly all other values of this world, found commonly expressed in the phrase; "let's all just get along!" It is this heretical brand of "love" that so often passes for unity in the Church. Pardon me while I puke!

Not even the abundant signs of the last days and the approach of the Great Tribulation, now so clearly just over the horizon, can rock such people from their drunken religious stupor. They have been inoculated from any fear of that!

Many think that soon the secret rapture will gather up all the saved-yet-practicing liars, slanderers, thieves, idolaters and sinners of every denomination, along with any actual righteous people who still haven't gotten the memo - altogether jointly called "The Church" - to whisk them away to heaven before so much as a hangnail can happen to them! Everyone putting their hope in this fairytale will soon be facing the specter of the "mark of the Beast" - and they are not even remotely ready to deal with that! Can you imagine the outcry of the apostates when they find themselves in that predicament! Messiah spoke of those days well in advance saying:

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'  Matthew 7:21-23

"Lawlessness?" Could that mean maybe we should be doing THE LAW after all? "Nah, that's legalism." Read it again.

If the Church is not interested in perfecting the "Body of Messiah" does that mean it is not important to do so? Well, consider what Messiah said in prayer:

"For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me." John 17:19-23

"Sanctified" means made holy. Not just imputed holiness. Actually holy, made so "in truth." All His true disciples must be made one with the Father and the Son, and with one another, in actual holiness, "perfected in unity." Why? To be a living witness of Yeshua before this world! Obviously, that does not occur unseen in heaven after Messiah returns. After His return such a witness to the world will no longer be needed, because He will be here Himself. That prayer of Messiah for perfected oneness of His people must yet happen here, on earth, in this world, before He comes.

The Gentile Church has had nearly 1,900 years to fulfill that purpose of the Lord, and has not, can not, and will not. The reason, as has been revealed in the Restoring the Assembly video series, is because the Gentile Church is a manmade construct - not the original body organized and empowered by Messiah in the 1st Century. The Assembly of Messiah in the 1st Century was the Renewed Nation of Israel! To fulfill Messiah's prayer for His unified people will require returning back to the Renewed Israel, actually functioning as His nation! That means being actually united in holy array, all energized by the same Covenant and the same Commandments, by the same Spirit, under the same leadership, of that 1st Century Assembly. In short, Restoring Israel is Restoring the Assembly! - which is also the theme of tonight's presentation. Of necessity, that must look different in the real world than anything else that anyone living in this 21st Century has ever seen. For starters, a restored Assembly of Israel must be holy, so must succeed in dealing with the problem of wickedness in a way the Church never did and never could.

See this presentation tonight: Restoring Israel is Restoring the Assembly! This will be aired tonight for everyone enrolled as a Tsiyon Partner, at tsiyon.net, at 8 pm cst. This is how it must happen.

Blessings and good health to you!

P.S. - This is revelation for the road ahead.
