Main reference: Rv 1:1-3
What are God’s purposed will, the believers’ position, and their hope? God’s purposed will is to fulfill what He has purposed (Is 14:24), and the position and hope of believers are heaven and eternal life.
God desires for believers to believe and keep what He has promised through the prophets. The believers desire to perceive that promise and hope that God fulfills it. When God carries out His promise, He first shows the promised pastor what He fulfilled and then sends him to believers to make it known. This was the case at the first coming of Jesus. It is also the same at the time of the fulfillment of Revelation during the Second Coming, as Rv 22:8, 16 explain.
God made a covenant in Mal 2 with the priests, declaring that they must walk with God and have truth on their lips so that believers can seek the truth from their mouth. They must be God’s messengers and speak on His behalf. However, if a priest, in other words, a shepherd (or pastor), does not have God and the truth within him and cannot speak of God’s will on behalf of God, then he becomes one who has broken the covenant he made with God. If pastors today have added to and taken away from Revelation, and do not know its meaning, how can any congregation member understand and believe in its fulfillment? If these pastors are still unashamed of this and return to flesh, if they are blinded by self-interest and use the congregation members as means to gain authority and strengthen their own livelihood, then how can they be called the messengers of God?
If a person does not know what has been promised and prophesied, then he still cannot know even when it is fulfilled. The pastors of Jerusalem did not accept Jesus because they did not know that Jesus had fulfilled all of the Old Testament. In a similar way, since the CCK does not understand that it has added to and taken away from Revelation, it does not know the physical entities of the fulfillment of Revelation, which are the betrayer, the destroyer, and the savior. That is why they persecute the promised pastor. Because of this, even the pastors and congregation members of the CCK are unable to receive salvation.
They have been stained by the evil spirit and are habitually burying alive the promised pastor by calling him a “heretic,” not realizing their own reality. They do not confirm, let alone properly converse or reason about, who God and Jesus are, the prophecies of life and their fulfillment, and the promised pastor. God’s purposed will is to fulfill what He has promised, and for the believers to see, perceive, and believe with joy what has been fulfilled. In this way, God opens up a new era and gathers through the promised pastor those who believe to create His new kingdom and priests. The promised pastor testifies, as he has been commanded, to what he has seen and heard, which is the fulfillment of the New Testament prophecies.
