The

Gospel Of Truth And Salvation

Formerly And Wrongly Called Peter 1 And 2

By

Apostle Peter

Greeting To The Elect Pilgrims

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

A Heavenly Inheritance

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away (everlasting), reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom you have not seen but love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith — the salvation of your souls.

Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven — things which Angels desire to look into.

Living Before God Our Father

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear (in love and discipline); knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

The Enduring Word

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because

"All flesh is as grass,

And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.

The grass withers,

And its flower falls away,

But the word of the Lord endures forever."

Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

Our Inheritance Through Christ's Blood

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

"Behold, I lay in Zion

A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,

And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."

Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,

"The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone,"

and

"A stone of stumbling

And a rock of offense."

They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Living Before The World

Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they as evildoers speak against you, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Submission To Government

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men - as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honour all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Submission To Masters

Servants, be submissive to your masters with all love, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

"Who committed no sin,

Nor was deceit found in His mouth";

who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Submission To Husbands

Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by love. Do not let your adornment be merely outward — arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel — rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

A Word To Husbands

Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

Called To Blessing

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For

"He who would love life

And see good days,

Let him refrain his tongue from evil,

And his lips from speaking deceit.

Let him turn away from evil and do good;

Let him seek peace and pursue it.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

And His ears are open to their prayers;

But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

Suffering For Right And Wrong

And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled." But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Christ's Suffering And Ours

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us — baptism(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, Angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

Peter

Christ's Example To Be Followed

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetimes in doing the will of the Gentiles — when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

Serving For God's Glory

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracle of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion, forever and ever. Amen.

Suffering For God's Glory

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now

"If the righteous one is scarcely saved,

Where will the unGodly and the sinner appear?"

Therefore, let those who suffer according to the will of God

commit their souls to Him in doing good,

as to a faithful Creator.

Shepherd The Flock

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

Submit To God, Resist The Devil

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

"God resists the proud,

But gives grace to the humble."

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Farewell And Peace

By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son. Greet one another with a kiss of love.

Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Greeting The Faithful

Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Fruitful Growth In The Faith

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance Godliness, to Godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Peter's Approaching Death

For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Destructive Doctrines

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

Doom Of False Teachers

For if God did not spare the Angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the unGodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live unGodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds) — then the Lord knows how to deliver the Godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas Angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

Depravity Of False Teachers

But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

Deceptions Of False Teachers

For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

God's Promise Is Not Slack

Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the Day of Judgment and punishment of unGodly men.

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

The Day Of The Lord

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and Godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Be Steadfast

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation — as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Necessary Explanations

Bondservant

When we started, we were using the word, servant of Jesus Christ. As we were growing in spiritual levels, we learnt many things, from time to time, even so from one spiritual levels to another. We came to know the rights and privileges we have.

A servant is a slave working for God. But a bondservant is a person anointed as a minister of God.

Sons Of The Living God

Son of man, as of now, in this new age, ourselves, the apostles, are no longer servants. We are sons of the living God. The same nature and form with God, and one with God. Stop using the word servant. It is for those who have not yet grown in spirit. But the saints who have become spiritually mature and perfect, grown in spirit, are one with God. Call them sons of God. You children of God in this DivineBase Ministry shall not answer servants. You are now sons of the living God.

In sanctification of the Spirit

The body, soul and spirit are sanctified through hearing the word of God; by prayers and worship; by wearing white garments and saintly dresses; by series of deliverances, purifications and sanctifications, which can take many days, many years or even several lifetimes; and through the use of holy substances, like Consuming Fire, Blood of Jesus, Water of Life, etc; by sprinkling and spraying; by drinking; by washing and by bathing.

And sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

The children of God shall use and sprinkle the Blood of Jesus, and other holy substances, often, even so daily. That is a compulsory part of rites of holiness, which separate the Kingdom of Heaven from the kingdom of darkness.

Receiving the end of your faith — the salvation of your souls

Salvation is received while people are still living here on earth. It is possible to visit heaven, while you are still living here on earth; and a person can enjoy the blessings of heaven just by participating in the prayers and worship.

Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully

Prophecy is not always as simple as just staying idle to hear words and see visions. Sometimes, diligent researches, examinations and considerations are necessary, and have to be done, before issuing prophecies. This is contrary to what is obtainable nowadays in the world, whereby people rush to prophesy, quick to accept prophecies, without first determining the source of such prophetic utterances. And many prophets and visioners use demonic powers without people knowing it.

The result is that many pastors, prophets and visioners go to demonic places to get devilish powers, which they use to impress people and get mass followers. Such religious leaders and ministers of God are working for Satan and they shall be cast into the hell fire.

There is no work of God which does not have the spirit of prophecy and visions. And there are many Angels of prophecy and visions, apart from Archangel Gabriel, who are always ready and willing to show visions, deliver messages and give revelations. To benefit from these Hosts of Angels, you must steadily abide in the paths of righteousness, and observe quiet time and meditation to ensure that you get prophecies and visions from heaven.

The use of the word of God requires that the children of God spend time to read, study, analyze and investigate teachings, sermons and preachings, before accepting them. To just believe everything you hear is like a fool dancing to both good and bad music, and is like a mad wearing both good and bad dresses at the same time. That was why Jesus Christ warned humanity, saying, “Pray and watch,” so that the children of God shall be able to know the devils, antichrists and beasts who come in angelic forms to mislead the church.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind,

Take decisions and be determined to remain in the way of truth and salvation, not being blown about by every wind of trending fashions, doctrines and worldliness. Many people are now straying from the true Covenant System Of Worship, because they fail to adhere to this advice.

For example, majority of the Christians are no longer celebrating the Seven Annual Festivals Of God attended by Jesus Christ. Instead, they are celebrating roman pagan festivals called Christmas and Easter, without knowing the foundations, purposes and end of such deceptive celebrations.

And in place of God’s New Moon Feast, many are today celebrating novenas and rosaries, which are abominations and provocations to the Lord.

And rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ

The grace does not mean only salvation. It includes the powers of the Holy Spirit, many teachings, corrections, messages and warnings from God, in addition to various works to be done. Most especially that the children of God shall become as radiant as God their Father, just as the sun is always radiant, glorious, powerful and useful. Also, the coming grace includes your right to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, and its treasures and pleasures, including your throne, crowns and mansion.

But you must not overlook the fact that every blessings, favours, success and prosperity is by merit, and not by grace. And therefore, strive always to remain in the everlasting paths of righteousness and accomplish your destiny here on earth, which you shall even continue in and in heaven, after your stay on earth.

As of a lamb without blemish and without spot

Those who abide in the paths of righteousness are righteous, just, innocent, blameless, pure, and holy without any blemish or spot.

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth

Use the following to purify the children of God from time to time:

1. The word of God, by reading, teaching, meditating and doing it.

2. The rites of holiness, by which you cleanse away the unclean and unholy things, and overpower the forces of darkness and powers of darkness..

3. The paths of righteousness, by making them abide in the paths of righteousness, always.

4. Staying in the presence of God, during prayers and worship, and by services and ministrations in the house of God.

5. Use of holy substances, by spraying, bathing and washing with the holy waters, which include the Water of Life, Blood of Jesus, Consuming Fire, Thunder and Lightning, Covenant Salt, anointing oil, etc.

6. Saintly and angelic dresses, by avoiding all kinds of indecent dresses.

Desire the pure milk of the word

Spend time to study Yahweh's Book Of Life and Spiritual Science, to get universal knowledge which is compulsory. You have to know about everything here on earth, their names, types, benefits and how to use them. And also you shall learn about the things in heaven in the same manner. Knowledge is compulsory, both in heaven and on earth. The level and extent of a person’s knowledge determines the level of his position in heaven. God is the God of knowledge, and those who are knowledgeable associate best with Him and gain most from Him.

They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

Humanity are encountering many and various natural disasters, man-made calamities and strange incidents, simply because they refuse to abide by the word of God. The word of God, Yahweh's Book Of Life, is meant for all humanity, and not for the Christians alone. Nations, religions, churches, ministries and fellowships that refuse to abide by the word of God shall continue to encounter and experience hardships and sufferings, which are signs to them, asking them to examine, repent and correct their ways of life by obeying the word of God.

That you may proclaim the praises of Him

1. To serve and worship God as a holy people.

2. To give testimonies of the glorious works, signs and wonders, of God the Father.

3. To show to the world the glory of God by songs and music, even so by poetic expressions, and by conducts.

4. To proclaim, teach and spread the word of God to all nations of the world.

You as sojourners and pilgrims

1. This world is not your home, and not your place of permanent residence.

2. The world is God’s school for his children.

3. You enter the world by birth, leave it at death and come back to it through reincarnations.

4. One day, you shall permanently leave this world, to live forever in heaven or inside the hell fire. Just as a student must one day leave the school to return home to his father’s family.

5. While you use and enjoy the things in this world, do not neglect to prepare yourself for the coming and everlasting life in spirit.

The day of visitation

The time of compensation, for every person to inherit rewards or punishments, even so forever. It can also refer to the end times or the Day of Judgement.

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man … Honour the king.

Ordinance refer to man-made laws. King refers to the governments and leaderships, people in positions of authority, people in leadership positions and constituted authorities.

The above statement does not mean that you have to disobey God to please your fellow human beings. You should know that all the various constitutions of the diverse nations in the world are not recognized in heaven. As such, a president or governor may here imprison and penalize a citizen only to come up to heaven to suffer enteral punishments, and bound with unbreakable chains, for persecuting the righteous people of God.

Humanity shall accept and abide by the laws of their governments and leaderships, only to the extents that such laws do not conflict or contradict the laws of God. Beware of the leaven of Herod, as Jesus Christ warned His disciples. This is because, as many religious leaders have deceived multitudes into the hell fire, even so many governments and leaderships have misled many souls into the hell fire, which souls should have being in heaven. Therefore, I say again and again, beware of false religious leaders and deceptive leaders in public offices.

You Are Strong And Mighty Spirits

In several portions of the holy book, Jesus Christ made it clear that Christians are strong and powerful spirit beings, who can perform all the miracles that Himself did. But the bible authors removed all such statements. Instead, they created the impression that Christians must be weak, gentle and submissive to all governments, leaderships and authorities, without the Christians knowing that such statements were forged and added by their fellow human beings.

Submission To Mentors

The word, master, is reserved for those who have grown very high in spirit. it refers to the archangels and angels, who are in-charge of various kingdoms, dominions and orders.

It also refers to true saints of God, who have attained the spiritual level of 6. They are called the Apostles, Generals or Avatars. They are like the ambassadors and are like the army generals.

Whenever the word begins with capital M, Master, it means the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Human beings who train and supervise fellow human beings are called mentors.

You have to submit yourselves to those mentors who obey the word of God, and not to every mentor you see in the world. For many people have being misled into the hell fire, because their mentors do not love and obey God Almighty.

If you do good and are not afraid with any terror

In every situation, separate yourselves from the lawless people. And do not join them because they are rich, wealthy, very important personalities or influential people, so that you shall not partake of their terrible punishments.

Women … as to the weaker vessel

This simply means that women are usually gentle and soft spoken. It does not mean to be physically or spiritually weaker, because many women are ministers of God, and are therefore, strong and mighty beings. Many women have iron heart. That is why family crisis linger in many families, because the men may easily forgive and forget, but the women would insist in doing what they say or want. This is not good, the Kingdom of Heaven is for those who are humble and forgiving.

And always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you

You have to study and master the word of God by studying Yahweh's Book Of Life and Spiritual Science. It by having deep and wide knowledge that you shall be able to correctly answer every question or respond as wise saints.

Jesus Christ, who … is at the right hand of God

This statement does not mean that Jesus Christ is always siting down at the right hand of God. When the Holy Trinity sit, Jesus Christ stays in the middle. The right hand of God simply means good position, a favourite position, blessed with glory, honour, power and majesty. It means that a person is a trustworthy friend.

Past lifetimes

This refers to the previous reincarnations of the people.

Flood of dissipation

People should avoid living all kinds of worldly lifestyles that waste their time, energy and resources. The unGodly lifestyles also make them lose all the powers of the Holy Spirit in them, backslide in spirit and in righteousness, and fall down in their spiritual levels, such that their lives become like wasted years, and like black and useless diamond, which supposed to be rich, radiant and useful.

Love will cover a multitude of sins

The lover overlooks many faults of the beloved, and does not count the faults as offences. A wise saint covers many sins by forgiveness, and by silence because many errors in a gathering are not noticed, when nobody speaks about them. For example, the court does not sit to prosecute somebody, unless another person brings complain.

If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracle of God.

The oracles of God are those who stay close to God, and give corrections to the children of God. The work of the oracle of God is not to prophesy, and it is not everybody that is an oracle of God.

For anyone to speak as an oracle of God means let everyone teach the Gospel of Truth and Salvation according to what he knows to be true.

If anyone speaks, means, if there is an oracle of God in the midst of the congregation, let him say exactly what God has said. This advice is true, because there are numerous false prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers, each one claiming that God speaks to him. Yet, the Holy Spirit is not in them, because they abandoned the everlasting Covenant System Of Worship established by God, and are now members of Sunday-keeping churches, ministries and fellowships, when they supposed to be Sabbath-keeping as God commanded in the original Ten Commandments.

Let him do it as with the ability which God supplies

The religious leaders, ministers of God and children of God shall always use the powers of the Holy Spirit only, in their lives and in doing their works. They must not get demonic powers as many people are now doing, by going to the idols, shrines, cultic kingdoms, cemeteries and marine kingdoms, to get powers for miracles and large followership.

As a busybody in other people's matters

A busybody is someone who is fond of gossiping about others. Such a person is always backsliding in spirit, because he uses precious time for good works to be talkative, always pointing out errors and mistakes, many of which are not true.

Such a person habours and uses the spirits of lies and fabrications, because he always seeks to make his words many and stories very impressive. He is like the devil, because he pretends to be a friend, but is silently destroying his own life and the lives of those who delight to listen to him.

Serving as overseers

Overseers are supervisors and advisers. They also serve as role model, by living exemplary saintly life. Their duty is to give corrections, more teachings and training, ensuring that all things are done in the church and house of God, according to the Gospel of Truth and Salvation, according to the will of God, and as directed by the Holy Spirit.

All of you be submissive to one another

Be humble and happy to receive corrections from one another. And in every discussion, follow the right direction and take the right action, not minding who gives the right suggestion or spoke the truth. This is because when the Holy Spirit comes in the midst of the congregation, He speaks through any person who is fit to do so. a good child often reminds or corrects the adult, even so with politeness.

Brotherhood

This refers to the children of God. In every place and situation, the children of God shall always team up, to do and enforce the will of God. The children of God should team up in brotherhood of the saints, and not in the brotherhood of mankind, because majority of humanity do not want o obey the word of God.

The Brotherhood of the children of God, The Congregation Of Yahweh, is now necessary, because many people are not ordinary human beings, but are evil spirits and demons in human forms.

So does Mark my son

This Mark was a minister of God, who was working with myself, Apostle Peter. Even so the bible authors used the name of Mark to replace our names, who are the real authors of the gospels, and also replaced our books my putting other books in the place of the books written by the apostles, disciples and Saints. They removed my name and put in the name of Mark. It is very unfit to remove the name of a master, and replace it with the name of the servant or junior co-worker.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance Godliness, to Godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

The qualities expected from the earnest seekers of truth, and from the children of God, are: diligence, faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, Godliness, brotherly kindness and love.

As long as I am in this tent

As long as I am still alive.

Knowing that shortly I must put off my tent

Very soon, I shall leave the body and world, and go to heaven.

Until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts

As a person strives to do the will of God, by steadfastly abiding in the paths of righteousness, time shall come when his own transfiguration shall take place. Then, he discovers that he is as radiant as the sun, as a son of the living God. Also, he discovers that the Christ is in him. Man is a perfect God, and by transfiguration he discovers that he is a spirit, and not the body.

And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

Majority of the Christians do not live as true Christians; and because of them, people reject the word of truth, and even condemn those who are doing the will of God. For example, there are numerous religious leaders and ministers of God, who are always condemning Sabbath. They are condemning the very way of truth and salvation, established by God Almighty Himself. And by all their arguments, debates, reasons and excuses, they practice, teach and enforce Sunday worship. Such people have made themselves the agents of Satan. They are the false prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers. Do not join them, because their judgement, condemnation and punishments are everlasting inside the hell fire. That is why Apostle Peter says, for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. Many are already bound with unbreakable chains inside the hell fire, even while they are still living here on earth. This is a secret which many people do not know.

But saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness

This statement shows that the great flood was not a sudden occurrence, because Noah was an active evangelist, who went about, far and wide, preaching repentance and salvation by the ark, but humanity ignored his messages and warnings, and perished.

Especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority

There are numerous religions, churches, ministries and fellowships in the world today. Everybody or group wants to establish their system of worship. That is a sign of carnal and devilish desires, and it is a mark of disobedience to the one true church established by God. Humanity should know that any person, who establishes a church, ministry or fellowship, has already excluded himself from the Kingdom of Heaven. The same thing is true of all his followers, because the Lord and Saviour strictly prayed for one flock and one shepherd, for one church and one head.

Thus said Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts:

Thus said Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts:

Thus said Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts:

“Let everyone who has established a church, ministry or fellowship close down the same or he shall be cast into the hell fire. And let everybody, every family and every nation join the one true church approved in heaven and on earth, the DivineBase Ministry, because there are no alternatives.”

They are presumptuous, self-willed.

Many religions, churches, ministries and fellowships have being established by proud and arrogant people, who are not obedient to the word of God and are disobedient to the head approved by God Almighty. A survey of the religions, churches, ministries and fellowships in the world shows that these churches were established out of jealousy, greed, misunderstandings, pride, selfishness and deception.

As those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime

To carouse means to spend time drinking and partying. This means following all forms of worldly lifestyles, idolatry, false teachings and wrong practices, including the failure to attend God’s festivals, appointed times, prayers and worship.

The blackness of darkness

The colour of darkness is black, and the nature of black is darkness. The people who delight in the ways of darkness are wells without water, because their lives, teachings and practices do not lead to everlasting life. And they are clouds carried by a tempest, because they are not steadfast and are being deceived by Satan. Their future shall be inside the hell fire, forever.

Such people are swayed about by all kinds of unGodly doctrines which are man-made. That is why they are proselytes, who are often converting from one church, ministry or fellowship to another.

Before, the writings of the apostles, disciples and Saints were confusing, because of unauthorized changes made in their writings and books, and because humanity have not yet grown in spirit. But as the Angels and Saints explain the scriptures, even so the writings are now made clear and understandable without any confusions.

"A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

The unrepentant sinners continues in their evil ways, until they perish forever.

Without spot and blameless

All those children of God who do not deny the Lord and Saviour, and remain steadfast in doing the will of God, by following the paths of righteousness.

Paul … speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction,

This shows that even at the time of Apostles Peter and Paul, many people could not understand what St Paul De Evangelist was saying, just as many are today misinterpreting the statements of St Paul.

The great Saints of God spoke and wrote with excellent wisdom, because they had attained high spiritual levels. They were trying to tell the children of God the truth, while at the same time hiding the meanings from the non-believers who were persecuting the children of God.

The children of God were expected to go into the spirit, to know the true meanings of the teachings, corrections, messages and warnings from God. Unfortunately, the children of God failed to do the needful. They take the wrong step by interpreting the scriptures according ordinary human understanding, in the flesh, in the same way they understand grammatical statements. That is why the holy book seems to contain contradictory statements. In spirit, a word of God can have several deep and shallow meanings.

For example, in the present and modern generations, somebody may say to another, “H are u?”

To one person, the statement means, “How are you?”

To another person, this statement is grammatical nonsense, because there is nothing like that in Standard English Language.

Yet, to another person, the statement means none of the above. Instead, it means what the sender and receiver have deliberately and secretly intended it to mean between two of them.

That is why the holy book says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” The kings refers to the religious leaders, ministers of God and children of God.
