To God, a thousand years is as a day (1 Peter 3:8). In light of that, consider this: 1) It has been exactly 2,000 years since last we saw Christ here on earth, and 2) Christ's delay after the death of Lazarus and prior to his resurrections was two days. I see a metaphor here suggesting that the two-thousand years of mortality and mourning transpiring since the resurrection of Christ is but a brief prelude to the joys of life from among the "dead."

The announcement of the elements of our evangel are found in the fifteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians, verses 1 through 4. But in the first chapter of 2 Timothy lies the practical result of a salvation accomplished by Christ.

Our brother Peter Meye teaches that the Christ Jesus of Philippians 2:7, Who empties Himself, is figurative, but the Christ Jesus of Philippians 2:8, Who humbles Himself, is literal. How can this be? In spite of Paul's testimony that this is the same Being (Christ) doing two different yet very real things, Peter accedes to the one thing while rejecting the other. Peter believes in Christ's death on the cross (at which time Christ humbled Himself), but not in Christ's giving up the form of God to come to be in fashion as a human (at which time He emptied Himself.) To suit his own belief system, Mr. Meye dismisses the one act while accepted the other—with no Scriptural or even rational reason for doing so.

As Peter says, it seems to be because they want to believe that Jesus is “just one of the guys,” I guess. -- Stephen

The so-called substitutionary death of Christ is a false teaching. It presumptuously assumes that Jesus Christ took our place on the cross—as if WE could have died for our own sins had we been at Calvary. No. As sinning and dying human beings, we needed a Strong Man, someone Who was NOT in our predicament—that is, NOT subject to sin and death—Who could pull us from the mire. One of the most notable Tories, Peter Meye, caters to this false philosophy by publicly proclaiming—in a debate with Stephen Janowski—that Jesus Christ "was truly one of us." I hesitate to say this because Peter is my friend, but this is one of the most shameful and ignorant statements that could be uttered concerning the nature of Jesus Christ. In this video, I present a dozen Scripture verses proving that Jesus Christ was most certainly NOT one of us, let alone "truly" one of us. He tabernacled among us, yes; he took our form, yes; he was tried in all manner as we, yes; but these things are a far cry from Him BEING one of us. We could not have been saved by someone who was one of us. A man drowning in a river does not need someone who is "one of him" to drown in his place. Peter Meye, along with Aaron Welch, is one of the spokesmen of the latest heresy to agitate the body of Christ, namely, that Jesus Christ did not preexist His birth in Bethlehem. This sect believes that Jesus Christ is somehow better glorified if we say that, like us, he found Himself in the predicament of being human—having no idea how He got here—yet managed to overcome the debility by one day becoming the Son of God; they all disagree as to when, exactly, He became God's Son. All of this flies in the face of Paul's statement (the Scripture) in Philippians 2:6-7 that, before coming to earth, Jesus Christ was in fact "in the form of God," yet "He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, and coming to be in fashion as a human." One of the greatest glories of Christ is that, as the Son of God and the Image of the Invisible God, He voluntarily entered our realm to rescue us from a predicament from which we could not, on our own, escape. It is THIS teaching that TRULY glorifies Christ, not that which makes Him a mere human who, through feats of willpower, attains divine status.

1 Timothy 2:4 tells us that Adam was not seduced but that the woman, being deluded, came to be in the transgression. Thus, Adam VOLUNTARILY joined Eve—the being who came out of him—in the realm of sin and death. Thus Christ, being the perfect fulfillment of Adam (He is called "the Last Adam"), voluntarily joined HIS creation in the realm of sin and death. Yet there are those among us who insist that Christ is LESS than Adam in that He was thrown involuntarily into this world like the rest of us schmucks, being completely unaware of why He was here and what He was doing. This is nothing short of blasphemy. And there is no excuse for it, seeing as our apostle Paul, in the plainest words possible—in Philippians 2:6-7—describes this very process of Christ voluntarily entering our dilapidated condition.

This was the first talk I gave on Sunday at the Nebraska conference last September. You have heard me mention before Paul's startling statement in 1 Corinthians 3:22, "All is Yours."

There is no such thing as chaos; no such thing as randomness; no such thing as chance. God works hard every day to make things appear this way. But it's all a front. It is a front to cause the world to trip over their own so-called wisdom and to exercise the faith of believers. MP3: http://martinzender.com/MZTV/MZTV1247_Chaos_is_a_Front.mp3 Martin's homepage: https://www.martinzender.com

"Chaos" is a front. It's a pre-planned front. Apparent randomness is a tool micromanaged by God to encourage the faith of believers and to give unbelievers yet another reason to slip on the banana peels of their own supposed wisdom. Only when viewed on a microscopic level by worldly humans does the truth become apparent: God is Pure Order. We spiritual humans, on the other hand, don't need microscopes. We know this by means of Scripture. As always, God whispers the truth to His friends.

The Christian religion was not hijacked by Satan. It was invented from scratch in order to distract from the accomplishment of Christ. It has worked like a charm for two-thousand years; only a handful of people on the earth know the true God. Time now for the Christian religion to be destroyed.

It is no credit to anyone to continue seeking for truth when truth stares one in the face. And yet it is all the rage in some corners of the body of Christ these days—in the interest of “keeping an open mind,” or “showing oneself a Berean”—to avail oneself of any alternative viewpoint barking for attention. Ah, but the Bereans searched the Scriptures; they did not read voluminous personal opinion papers or watch YouTube videos. And please show me the Scripture verse where Paul tells the saints to have an open mind. A notable feature of those pressing for the non-preexistence of Christ is that not a single Scripture verse supports their position. You would think that this would discourage them, but it does not. If the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) refuses their wooing, then with what weapons do they fight? Verbosity and philosophy. Only those ungrounded in the Word of God could possibly be swayed by such tactics. For that is what they are: tactics. My advice to the saints: On any topic of great consequence, let the Word of God speak. And when it does speak, use it—for it is the Sword of the Spirit—to slay whatever contradicts it. For this is the only sure defense against error.

The knowledge of Christ within you causes some people to dislike you. This is true whether you express any of these words or not. This is a spiritual battle of good versus evil. There are no guns or tanks or bombs in play here; this is an information war. Satan uses a large and influential group of people known as Christians to publish false information about God, while you are employed by the Deity to hold and—in some cases—to herald the truth. God has graciously granted you the privilege of occupying the right side of this war, and any pain you incur while engaged with the enemy will result, in the future, in an overcompensating weight of glory.

For the joy set before Him, our Lord endured the cross. At the same time, Paul tells us that the sufferings of the current era are not worthy to be compared to the coming glory. There is a similar principle at play here, though to different degrees. We are now in the "cross" of Eon 3, that is, the worst of the eonian times. As we are writhing through this awful time period, God assures us that great glory lies ahead because of it.

According to the 6/1 ratio (explained again in this video), there are 6,000 years of human kingdoms, followed by a 1,000 year period of God's kingdom (the Millennium.) We are somewhere between 5993-5999 YFA (years from Adam). How do we know this? By counting the years of the lifespans of the ancients (in Genesis) and the years of the reigns of the kings of Israel. One would be tempted to think, "Oh, how convenient that YOU are the generation that is this close to the completion of the era of humanity. EVERY generation thinks they are this close." Not true. Because, in this video, I present you with a Bible from 1813 that surmised that, at that time, the YFA was 5788. Hm. And 208 years from THEN makes WHAT?

Night is usually the scariest time of the day for us mortals. Darkness sneaks up on us and fills us with foreboding. Here's some good news: Night is as day to God!

How do we "get out" of Eon 3, mentally, while still being stuck at the tail end of it? Here's a familiar passage from Isaiah that, when read from the Concordant Version of the Old Testament, is hardly recognizable. Yet, when properly understood, it's a prophetic utterance granting instant relief from the terrors of the current era. It seems that Israelites of old and members of the body of Christ have one thing in common: they all want to get the hell out of here.

I have been accused of promoting sin. Good! It's evidence that I'm correctly teaching Paul—because I've NEVER promoted sin. You see, no one who correctly teaches Paul's doctrine of "where sin increases, grace superexceeds" (Romans 5:20) or "all is allowed me" (1 Corinthians 10:23) or "nothing is contaminating of itself" (Romans 14:14) will NOT be accused of inciting lawlessness by those who illogically conflate freedom with license. We know that Christianity oozes with these types of assumption-jumping non-thinkers, but it's always disconcerting to find one or two in the body of Christ.

In God's great screenplay of life, there are protagonists and antagonists written into the script. Two of the most famous combatants in God's Word are Moses and Pharaoh. Each man played his pre-written role in one of the great dramas of the eonian times. Is there a modern-day equivalent? There are many, but consider this one: the Scarecrow and the Wicked Witch of the West, the protagonist and antagonist in one of the most beloved movies of all time: The Wizard of Oz. The question that I pose here at the Nehawka, Nebraska conference of September 2022 is: What happens when the movie is over?
