Most bible
scholars believe that the first coming of John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy of Malachi chapter 3
& 4, with regards to the coming of
the Prophet Elijah. But according to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Elijah must come first to RESTORE ALL THINGS and also implied that he would be
the Comforter to TEACH ALL THINGS. So
Prophet Elijah was expected to TEACH AND ALSO TO RESTORE ALL THINGS.
Consequently,
John the Baptist who came in the spirit
and power of Elijah did not restore all things in connection with the first coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The word “RESTORE” simply means, the bringing
back of the former things that were no longer available. For Four Hundred years
(between the time of Malachi to the time of John the Baptist), several prophets
and religious bodies came on board and were waiting for the arrival of Prophet Elijah and the
Messiah based on the prophecies of the old prophets.
In those days, some people in Israel came and proclaimed to be
either Prophet Elijah or the Messiah; but
when John appeared, he looked different from all of them. He preached with
boldness and with authority and even rebuked King Herod which none of those
prophets at their time could do. He dwelled in the wilderness and dressed very
differently unlike other prophets. His food was locust and honey and dressed in
animal skin. So he appeared to be out of this world but warning the people of
Israel of the coming judgment and to repent from their sins and above all, informing them of the coming of the Messiah
and him being his forerunner.
These attributes he displayed, as a forerunner, convinced
the people that really he was the Messenger to come and announce the arrival of
the Messiah. Consequently, large crowds of people followed him into the River Jordan and be baptized
in order to be cleansed of their sins.
Similarly, in the end-time another John the
Baptist will emerge and will also look quite differently from others, and perform like one of those Old Testament
prophets possessed with great
authority and not to preach like those preachers and prophets in the
churches. He must also look different like John the Baptist of old.
Now we should not forget about the assignment
given to John the Baptist which was first announced immediately after his birth
by his father Zachariah who prophesied and said
“Thou child, shall be called the prophet of the highest; for thou shall
go before the face of the Lord to prepare his WAYS” (Luke 1:76). Consider the
plural “way” as “ways” as the TERM OF REFERENCE with regards to his
assignment. The first assignment goes
with the word “WAY” stating “Prepare ye the Way of the Lord” John made mention
of this Term of Reference when he started to preach in the wilderness as the
gospel of Matthew recalled. who said "...prepare ye the WAY of the Lord" and not "prepare ye the ways of the Lord" (Mat. 3:1-4). Therefore, the plural “WAYS” implied
that John will be coming to prepare the “WAYS”
of the Lord as his official assignment being his forerunner as many time as possible even
if Jesus would return to earth for ten times. Therefore, we must not limit John the Baptist to his first coming alone but also to prepare
the way of the second coming of Jesus Christ as his forerunner as well based on the Term of
Reference given to Priest Zachariah his father with respect to John the Baptist
assignment as the forerunner of the Messiah.
John died
without restoring anything such as the Kingdom of God that had ruled Israel in
the time of King David and King Solomon contrary to the expectation of all Jews
who should have taken over from the
Roman government that was oppressing them. Neither John nor Christ
fulfilled this assignment of restoration at that time.
Therefore,
the new John the Baptist will fulfill the restoration assignment of God’s
Kingdom with military prophetic power like Prophet Elijah and Moses of old that
will make him look quite different from
all the prophets and preachers in this end-times.
Based on the
fact that neither Christ nor John did not restore all things contrary to what Jesus mentioned about Elijah,
his disciples asked him again and said, “will you at this time restore
the kingdom to Israel?” But he replied that it is in the hand of his father.
(Mat. 17:9-13 & Acts 1:1-7).
Therefore, John the Baptist who shall come in the Spirit and power of Elijah to restore all things MUST come again prior to the second
coming of Jesus Christ in the end-times as a continuation of his assignment
based on his official Term of Reference as forerunner of the Messiah.
Also, most bible scholars claimed that the
church is doing the end-time assignment of Elijah but Jesus did not empower his
disciples (the foundation of the first body of Christ) to restore God’s kingdom
on earth but rather to preach of the good news of the kingdom of God to come
and to make the disciples of all nations back-up with healing, signs and
wonders; and that is what the church is
doing today as a continuation of the first assignment of the first John the
Baptist and Christ.
During the
times of the Apostles, they could not boldly propagate the gospel in the midst of their
enemies because they were not yet empowered to perform healing, signs and
wonders as Jesus did during the first assignment with John the Baptist as his forerunner; therefore, advised them to
wait in Jerusalem until the day of Pentecost to receive power from on high on
whose day the Holy Spirit descended on them and they started performing
miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus did; as a result, became very bold in the
propagation of the gospel or the good news of the kingdom of God to come throughout the nations in the Middles East and Europe at
their time. So, the church is operating
on this level of healing, signs and wonders and not at the military level; and
therefore cannot restore God’s kingdom on earth which is the assignment of the
end-time John the Baptist and that makes him different from all of them.
Therefore, Jesus said, “...from the days of John
the Baptist and until now the kingdom of God suffers violence and the men of
violence will take it by force” (Mat chapter 11:7-15). Therefore, the statement
of Jesus implied that the end-time John the Baptist will be a military prophet in restoring God’s
kingdom with the saints but before the kingdom is restored, it will be a of
period of violence all over the world – the whole world will be shaking while
he is releasing his double hedges sharp sword coming out of his mouth which
is the combined military prophetic powers of
Moses and Elijah smiting any part of the globe known as the ARRIVAL OF ARCHANGEL
MICHEAL IN THE END-TMES DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION AS PROPHET DANIEL
PREDICTED AS ONE OF THE SEVEN HORNS OF
THE LAMB..
Therefore, the end-time John the Baptist is
addressed as the “LAMB” in the book of Revelation whose mouth will issue the
double hedges sharp sword like Jesus Christ and whose name shall be called
“WORD OF GOD” (Gospel or Goodnews - 19:11-21); therefore, it makes it difficult
for bible scholars to distinguish between him and Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation because he is also called the "Lamb" as the embodiment of Christ. Therefore, no other name of any prophet is mentioned in the book of Revelation including the two witnesses that are also called the "LAMB" because they are also part of the Seven horns of the Lamb which is Moses and Elijah.
According
to the book of Revelation, Jesus the Lamb opened the scroll sealed with seven
seals (Rev chapter 5) but Michael one of the Lamb rides the white horse for the battle
of Armageddon on the behalf of his
Christ the Lamb preparatory for his
second coming from heaven LIVE! And REAL! as his forerunner to restore all
things (Rev. 11:15-19).
Therefore, in the book of Revelation chapter 16, the day of the battle of Armageddon like the day of a football match will be known and all the armies of the enemies will be gathered with the saints for the final battle and Michael known as John the Baptist is the Principal actor leading the armies of the saints; therefore Jesus said, "Lo I come like a thief ...." meaning he will not be present on that fixed day of the final match rather his military commander John the Baptist will represent him to fight all wars as the King David the Third in the end-times who shall ride the white horse in Revelation chapter 19 and not Jesus Christ.
Also, in Revelation chapter 19, all the armies gathered to fight Michael as John the Baptist but in Revelation chapter 6, all the armies hid in caves when Jesus appeared for the judgement; none could withstand him but they withstood Michael and his armies ridding the white horse but in Revelation chapter 6, the Lamb was sitting on his throne coming with the clouds not ridding on a white horse this is to differentiate Michael known as John the Baptist and Jesus Christ in the end-times.
Most prophets and even Pastors without such
great biblical military power would automatically claimed to be Jesus Christ
that has come in another flesh and as a thief in the night but the end-time
John the Baptist would not do that rather he will project Christ at all levels
in order to make the whole world ready for his arrival and attacking religious
leaders who have gone astray in their teaching to come back to the right track.
These attributes also makes him look quite different from other prophets world-wide
because he is not taking the glory to himself as he was commissioned by Christ even before he
was born as was prophesied by other prophets before and after his birth in
Cameroun (Read his Article about the “HISTORY OF MY BIRTH” in the End-Time
Messages)
THE PROMISED COMFORTER
Jesus also promised that the Comforter will
TEACH ALL THINGS. He will teach both the
evil things and as well as the good things relating to God from the scriptures
– no compromise! To some Christians, most of those teachings will sound quite
satanic and tinkle in their ear to believe even though there are from the holy
bible because they are so deep to understand but only those with matured minds
can bear them and not all.
Some Christians would consider some of his
teachings as blasphemies and heresies just as the Pharisees did to Jesus Christ when he claimed to be the
Messiah and as the Son of God who often opposed his teachings and those claims
landed him on the cross and nothing else.
So
John the Baptist in the end-times will not be exception to be opposite by fellow
Christians if he mentioned that he is the Prophet Elijah and as John the
Baptist – would in return hate him because so many others have claimed this
names and failed; so he must be one of them just as so many have claimed to be
Messiah in Israel but failed so they saw Jesus as one of those false Messiah
till today!
Based on these factors, the book of Revelation chapter 11
reveals that the end-time John the Baptist to come in the spirit and power of
Elijah and Moses will be militarily equipped to devour enemies with fire
shooting out of his mouth and to perform all biblical plagues in the end-times and not
to die like a chicken like John the Baptist and Christ in Israel and upon their dead, the whole would not allow
their bodies to be buried and will declare
public holidays and exchange gifts to one another like Valentine celebration because they have tormented the people of the world a
great deal! FOR MORE DETAIL READ MY ARTICLE "ARMAGEDDON: THE FALL AND RISE OF ARCHANGEL MICHAEL" IN THE END-TIME MESSAGES
They
would appreciate if he teaches in the same way which he learnt from the bible
schools whose teachings are copied by others whom they recognized in terms of
high qualification and achievement and as Professors in the universities but
John the Baptist has come to correct those errors they made and to put it right
and including the bible translators which make him different from others.
The
Comforter will teach both the good and evil as to enable you distinguish
between the good and evil side of God as a matured student and not like a baby in
Kindergarten or nursery school. Some
Christians will expect him to teach and preach the same way like others, but
the Comforter will give you teachings higher than that level as Jesus did and
his teachings were quite different from that of the Jewish Rabbis
Now
the question is “Who is this Comforter to TEACH ALL THINGS. The church assumes that he was the Holy
Spirit that descendant on the days of Pentecost and rested on the Apostles and
they began to perform healing signs and wonders and gathered great crowd of
converts. That is partially correct according to Prophet Joel chapter 2:28-30
that said “ I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh ……”
Now the question is “Does the church teaches
all things?”
Do they teach the same doctrine or dogma? What
makes the Christians discriminate from one another while all of them are carrying
the same bible? Then who is the
Comforter among them? Who teaches who? Do all perform healing, signs and
wonders? Does the Comforter cheated one party and favored the other party with the gift of healing
signs and wonders? – the other party that is not favored with the gift of healing
signs and wonders accused the ones
favored that they are fake miracles,
signs and wonders and that all these are the signs of the end-times that many fake
miracles signs and wonders will increased through false prophets and pastors, in order to fulfill what Jesus said in Mathew chapter 24 because they are not of the same denomination?
What
made the churches split way from the
Roman Catholic church? Why are they so
many Christian denominations separating from one another? Why others are called "CULTS" because they do not share the same belief, even though they do carry the same bible?
Therefore, if you insist that the Comforter is
the Holy Spirit that came on the day of Pentecost to all churches irrespective of their dogma or doctrine, then you must answer the
above questions correctly.
To distinguish between the two Comforters, the power of the Holy Spirit
that poured on the Apostles on the day of Pentecost is quite different from the other
Comforter because the Comforter to teach all things will appear in person to
direct and guide all the churches during the time of the tribulation and will
become their source of hope prior to the arrival of Jesus Christ.
Throughout
the period of the great tribulation, the Christians will be in total confusion
and frustrated like sheep without shepherd. The preachers would lack word to
tell them as the persecution continue like those Christians facing trials and tribulation in other part of the world
today like those in the Islamic war ton nations and other countries in Asia and
like those Christians in Northern Nigeria where churches are bombed by Boko
Haram Islamic militants. It had happened
to the Christians of old – is not new! That is why it is too dangerous to preach
prosperity and riches this time because when those turbulent times shall come,
you must abandon your beautiful houses to the enemies and your wealth gone in
one day, and you find yourself in refugee camps and to start life all over
again if you would ever return to your house.
Therefore, the sound message of
salvation to fortify the believers becomes very
paramount in this end-times and
not message of wealth and excitement that will fade away soonest as we are
entering into the deeper period of trails and tumults to test the believers in
one way or the other all over the world.
That is, if you escape violence you face natural disasters of great magnitude that can sweep away all your wealth and bring you back to zero one if you survived!
(Rev. 3:10).
Although
most Christians try to console themselves that they will escape to heaven on
time but that absolutely is never a guarantee.
So many Christians like you fell victim including the times of the
Apostles that walked with Christ; yet, they did not escape it; so yours will not be
different unless by his grace or you die before it arrive at your domain.
Therefore,
the end-time John the Baptist will be the Comforter to comfort the believers in
all denominations world-wide and will all look unto him as their leader just as
the people of Israel looked unto Moses during their journey in the wilderness
facing tribulations until they arrived in the Promised Land. That is why, Jesus
called him the “Comforter” as was predicted in the book of Prophet Isaiah who
said of John the Baptist saying, “Comfort, comfort, yea my people says your
God, speak tenderly to Jerusalem (the church or the body of Christ) that her
welfare is accomplished - a voice crying In the wilderness prepare yea the WAY
of the Lord, make straight in the desert a high way for our God; every valley shall be filled up, the crocked
way be smooth etc."
Therefore, the one to come with the above
message of comfort according to Isaiah refer to John the Baptist
that first appeared in the New Testament which will fulfill again in the
end-times during the tribulation period as well as part of his Terms of
Reference. (Isaiah 40:1-5 and Luke 3’1-5).
Therefore, Prophet Isaiah said, during time of affliction, the people of Israel
(the church) will see their teacher and will not hide himself anymore and will
tell them to follow the right or the left; so the Comforter which is John the
Baptist will be seen face-to-face and will not hide himself anymore. Please use the FORMER
King James or FORMER Revise Standard Version and read Isaiah 30:21-22 (other bible
translators mentioned “Teachers” but is “Teacher” – the Comforter) AS THE MODERN BIBLE TRANSLATORS USE THEIR OWN AUTHORITY AND CHANING (FINGERING)SOME IMPORTANT PROPHETIC KEY WORDS IN THE BIBLE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL DOCTRINAL BELIEVES OR DOGMA ACCORDING TO THEIR DENOMINATION MAKING THE BIBLE LOOSING ITS ORIGINAL AUTHORITY AND CONTENT. PLEASE ALWAYS USE THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS.
Also,
about this same Comforter to come, prophet Isaiah wrote of him to appear in the likeness of Jesus Christ as one of the
Seven Horns of the Lamb and said that he will sprinkling (rebuke) many nations,
kings will short their mouth because of him for those things that they
have not heard before they will see and
those thing that they have not be told before they will understand. (Isa.
52:13-15). That means the Comforter which is John the Baptist will prophecy to
kings of all nations about things they have not heard and will see it fulfilled
and will teach them what they have not heard but they will understand.
So
the whole work load of the end-times assignment is on John the Baptist.
Now
the question is “How and where did he
gets this authority of teaching?”
His
authority is the last scroll sealed with seven seals mentioned in the book of
Revelation chapter 5 given to him. The content was so
secret that Apostle John said when he heard the voice in heaven asking for who
is worthy to open the scroll and to look its content, no body was found worthy either
in heaven, in earth or under the earth; but only Jesus the Lion of the Tribe of
Judah was worthy to open the scroll and to look through its content. Why? Because he was slain on the cross for our
sins and had cleaned us by his blood and had made us kings and priests unto our
God. Jesus opened the scroll and handed it over to John the Apostle in the book
of Revelation to represent John the Baptist and was told “you must prophecy again about many people, nations,
tongues and kings”. So chapter 10 and chapter 11 in the book of Revelation are
quite connected. Apostles John did not prophesy about many peoples, nations,
tongues and kings rather remained in prison at the Island of Patmos until his
dead but John the Baptist will perform that job in the end-times when technology has
improved to spread this End-Time Message to the end of the earth through the
modern day electronic media which was not available in times of Apostle John.

Therefore, the end-time John the Baptist can rebuke and confront great nations
on earth using the military prophetic power of Moses and Elijah from the
angel’s scroll. In "The Last Book of Nostradamus", he is known to be the “ONE MALE PROPHET” reading the last
scroll dressed in his hairy garment( Read my article, “THE ONE MALE PROPHET OF NOSTRADAMUS” by Prophet Goodnews Adolphus
Jesus also called him “COUNCILOR” meaning
“ADVISER” and that also means “CONSULTANT” just as we have Financial Adviser
or Financial Consultant. Therefore, John
the Baptist is a Comforter and as a Consultant
in the end-times.
Evidently, Prophet
Goodnews Adolphus the end-time John
the Baptist is a Management Consultant
by profession whose consultancy skill he is using in writing his
articles and books back up with research on the receipt of the angel’s scroll
in 1981 when he spiritually appeared in the wilderness of John the Baptist at the age of twenty-one containing those hidden biblical mysteries
which are revealing to him in both
vision and dreams which he uses as a guide to carry out his independent research and write them out as a Consultant. Without his professional experience as a consultant, he cannot be able to carry out his research
and publication professionally; rather,
he could only publish them as a dream or vision book to like that of Nostradamus prediction called "CENTURIES" or those ones he do publish in his
“ PROPHET NEWS WATCH OF THE COMING GLOBAL EVENTS in the “END-TIME MESSAGES” .
For example, he wrote the
prediction about the invention of a cell phone bomb to be used by terrorists in
his Prophetic News Watch which was later confirmed by security agents in UK.
Now, based on the vision he got, he could carry out his own independent
research about the possibility of producing a mobile or cell phone bomb and
that could take him lot of pages to conclude and becomes the first information
of its kinds in the whole world based on the fact that he got the clue either
through vision or dream which he uses as a guide. The vision he got could take
him just few sentences which was revealed to him in just a seconds like a flash
of a camera but after all his research and investigation, the whole information he
complied could run to pages in explaining the deals of the feasibility of the
cell phone bomb invention.
THIS IS JOHN
THE BAPTIST AGAIN! BUT DO NOT BE SO OFFENDED LIKE THOSE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES OF OLD IN THE TIME OF CHRIST BECAUSE HE CLAIMED TO BE JOHN THE BAPTIST RATHER GIVE HIM YOUR KIND SUPPORT AND PRAYERS TO ENABLE HIM FULFILL HIS GLOBAL ASSIGNMENT AND YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTORS OF THE PROPAGATION OF THIS END-TIME MESSAGES. REMAIN BLESSED.
(John 15: 25-26 & 16:7-15).
