Throughout the 6000 years of the Bible, God has promised future events. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Testament promise. Before he ascended to heaven, he promised about future events. Who, then, fulfils the New Testament promise?

In every Biblical era, there have been those who live a life of faith within the Bible and those who live a life of faith outside the Bible. 2000 years ago, anyone who wanted to live a life of faith within the Bible had to go to Jesus and listen to his words because he was the pastor promised by God in the Old Testament. Those who lived a life of faith outside the Bible were the pastors and congregation members of the religious (Jewish) world at that time. Jesus was promised by God and testified about the things of heaven, while pastors, ordained by man, taught mainly about the things of the earth. From the religious world, only 12 disciples came out to listen to Jesus’ words and accepted them to their death. This is because the religious leaders prevented their congregation members from going to Jesus, and instead persecuted him, labelling him ‘demon-possessed’ and a ‘sect’, and even crucified him on a cross. They loved man’s praise above God’s praise. Do you think such treatment will be much different for the promised pastor of the New Testament?

Before Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, he promised to send someone who would fulfil God and Jesus’ will at the time of Jesus' return (2^nd coming): the ‘faithful and wise servant’ (Mt 24:45), the ‘one who overcomes’ (Rv 3:12, 21) and Jesus’ promised messenger (Rv 22:16). In the same way that Jesus received and ate the opened scroll (Ez 3) and testified to everything he had seen and heard in heaven on the earth (Jn 3:31-34), Jesus' promised messenger also received and ate the opened scroll (Rv 10), which is the word of Revelation, and is now testifying to everything he has seen and heard in heaven on the earth (Rv 4, 22:8). Will you also label him ‘demon-possessed’?
