Good News for All Nations

Jesus is the Greater Tabernacle in which the presence and glory of God dwell and manifest for all men to behold – John 1:14. The  Gospel of John  presents Jesus as the ‘ Logos ’ (λογος), the “ Word made flesh ,” where the glory of God is manifested before all men. The Son of God is the Greater and True Tabernacle in which God’s presence dwells, not the portable tent carried by Israel in the Wilderness or the later Jerusalem Temple “ made with hands .”

When disciples react to hostility with hostility, whether by government, society, or individuals, Satan triumphs . The reality of persecution raises important questions. How should we react to hostility and opposition? Should we engage in civil disobedience and public protests ? Our human desire to live without conflict is natural. Nevertheless, Jesus warned that all men who decide to follow him would experience tribulation and persecution.

The New Testament warns of a future apostasy caused by deceivers and the Son of Destruction, the Lawless Man, before the Day of the Lord arrives . The New Testament warns us that before Jesus returns, his Church will be attacked from within by deceivers, “ false anointed ones ,” and “ false prophets .” Before the “ Day of the Lord ” begins, his disciples will be confronted by the “ Man of Lawlessness , ” whom the Apostle Paul links to the “ Apostasy ,” the final great “ falling away ” from the faith.

Иисус - это Слово, ставшее плотью, через которое открывается слава Божья, то же самое Слово, посредством которого Бог сотворил все сущее . В Евангелии от Иоанна Иисус назван ‘ Логосом ’ (‘ Logos ’. λογος), “ Словом ”, посредством которого Бог сотворил Вселенную. Эта тема занимает важное место в Евангелии от Иоанна . Оно основано на традиционных представлениях еврейской Библии о том, как Бог сотворил мир, особенно жизнь, посредством Своего изреченного Слова. Иисус из Назарета - живое выражение этого созидательного слова.

Jesus is the true and only way of access to the Father, the Greater Tabernacle, and the House of God – John 1:47-50. The  Gospel of John  presents Jesus as the  True House of God . He is the way of access to the presence of God that is now open to all men. The man from Nazareth has become the True  Bethel , the “ House of God .” From now on, Heaven is open to all men, and angels are “ ascending and descending ” on the “ Son of Man .” What Jacob saw in a vision long ago has become reality in Jesus Christ.
