Dear Friends, beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. It’s always a privilege for me to talk with you in the Name of the Lord, sharing God’s precious and holy Word in its original form. We do not go back to what church fathers said in the course of church history, we do go back to the very beginning and my new brochure takes us back to the beginning, to the Word. The title I chose is “In the beginning was the Word, not the interpretation”. We understand that the interpretations prevail and every church, actually everyone who preaches or teaches has his own interpretation. So there are many, many interpretations of one and the same Word and Scripture. But there is only one original and we do have to go back to the original. “In the beginning was the Word”, and then it doesn’t continue to say, “and the interpretation”, but it continues to say, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word” – not the interpretation – “and the Word was with God.” And then, of course, we are told not any interpretation but “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” So I have to take things very seriously in the presence of Almighty God. In the Old and New Testament God spoke directly through the prophets, through the apostles, and the New and the Old Testament blend together. In the Old God made promises, in the course of the New He does fulfil what he promised in the Old Testament. Especially we have to deal with the time we are living in, with the promises of God for the endtime. Knowing the Scripture we understand that the return of Christ is imminent. This is known by everybody who knows about the Bible that we are now living in the last days and not only that: we are at the end of the endtime. And therefore, it is absolutely necessary to return to the beginning, for Christ is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. It’s not enough to return to what has been in the days of Reformation or after or to things which were said in the 3rd and 4th and 5th century. They don’t count. These men did not speak to us – God spoke to us only by His holy and everlasting Word! And therefore a true servant of God cannot go back to what church fathers said, a true servant of God is obliged to say what God said. And this is my stand, like Micah in the days of old said, “Only what God says that shall I speak.” In the same way, as the Apostle Paul in Galatians, chapter 1, verse 10 said, “If I yet wish to please men, I am not even a servant of Christ.” Admonishing his co-worker Timothy in 2 Timothy 4, “I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ who will judge the living and the dead at His coming and at His Kingdom: Preach the Word, it be in time or out of time, in season or out of season, whether people like it or not. Preach the Word, for the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine.” Everyone more or less is acquainted with all such scriptures. Then in the New Testament in the four Gospels we are told about Christ, our Lord and Saviour, from His birth to His ascension to heaven, we are told about the great commission given to us in Matthew 28, in Mark 16, Luke 24 and John, chapter 20. And then we see how the commission was carried out from the very day of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Peter who heard from the lips of our Lord that all nations should be taught and should be baptized into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost which of course is the Lord Jesus Christ. And therefore he said, “Repent, everyone, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.” For they had received the remission of sins by believing in Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. Beloved, we have to come back to all these true and fundamental teachings of the beginning. Then we understand that the apostles, especially Paul, wrote to the various churches, dealing with the certain subjects which came up in the local churches. And finally we have the 22 chapters, called “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, dealing with the future and dealing with the things which will come to pass before Christ returns and also partly in the course of the church history. The 22 chapters of the Revelation contain many important things. I would say it’s the capping of the Gospels and of the epistles written, it’s the finalizing of all things written in the New Testament, the absolute revelation of Jesus Christ and, of course, dealing with all the important things pertaining to the antichrist, pertaining to Israel, to the Bride, to the taking away of the Bride Church to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, dealing with the Millennial Reign, telling us of the new heaven and of the new earth. In this book, Beloved, we do have all things. Then in Matthew 24 our Lord speaks about the endtime, referring to wars and rumour of wars and, as we know, we are living in days where the whole world is in trouble. If we look back, we had World War I, we had World War II and all over the world we have problems, wars, upraises, terrorism – there is no more peace on earth. And we have the privilege as the people of God living now to know the Word of God by divine revelation – not by interpretation. These days are finished. Now we have the full and complete revelation of Jesus Christ. We know that Jehovah, actually better to say, Yahweh of the Old Testament is Yahshua – Jesus of the New Testament. He is the great I AM. We see Him in His humanity, and we see Him as the Lord of Glory. When you take the seven I AMs alone in the Gospel of John, where our Lord said, “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life. I AM the Resurrection, I AM the Good Shepherd.” All these “I AM” the Lord only could say, and then He summarizes it and says, “Before Abraham was I AM.” My beloved Friends, when we see the Lord of Glory as a servant, we see Him as the promised Prophet, as the Mashiach, the Messiah, the Anointed One. And then we see Him in His humanity, we see Him being tired, we see Him sleeping in the boat, we see Him weeping at the grave of Lazarus, we see Him in His humanity, taking our place, fully human, born into this world as we are born, but, of course, without sin – the only begotten Son of the Father. Mary had nothing to share in it. It was all from God. But He had to be human to redeem humanity. The One who could not die had to come into a body of flesh, so He could die in our stead and then pull the sting of death away and conquer death and hell and raise on the third day. And because He rose we actually rose with Him. We are born again by this resurrection power of the Holy Spirit. Beloved, these are facts, these are realities, these are experiences that we must have. Now sharing with you from 1 Peter, the first chapter, verse 2, “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God, the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” If you read especial the epistles of the Apostle Paul, he addresses churches and individuals almost the same every time, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 36 times he uses the same term, addressing God the Father. But not a single time did he use the term “God the Son”. Not a single time did he use the term “God the Holy Spirit”. The Son is the Son of God and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. But God who is Spirit is the origin. From Him all these attributes that were in Him are manifested. It was in Him to be Creator, it was in Him to be Saviour, it was in Him to be King, it was in Him to be Healer. All these attributes which were in God throughout all eternity were then manifested from the beginning of time. And therefore, at the beginning of time God stepped from eternity into time and He came into a visible form of appearance and from that time He was not only called “Elohim”. Before you read “Elohim-Yahweh” in Genesis, chapter 2, you read 32 times the word “Elohim” only – in our translations “God”. And then you read the term “the Lord God” over 6,000 times throughout the period of the Old Testament. Beloved, every term, every word, everything written in the Holy Scriptures has its place, its connection. Towards the creation God is the Creator; towards His sons and daughters He is Father; when it comes to ruling He is the King; when it comes to healing He is the Healer; when somebody is lost He is the Saviour; for the sheep He is the Shepherd. He is all in all. Everything is taken care of in all the different manifestations of God, but He always remains only one. I must admit I read much of church history in three different languages, and Beloved, when you hear the arguments in the 3rd and 4th and 5th century, how doctrinal statements were formed, how they tried to make God understand with their intellect. You can never understand or explain God. God is Spirit and dwelled in a light where no one has access to. But then He revealed Himself, He manifested Himself in a visible form of appearance and also in the pillar of fire accompanying Israel 40 years in the journey through the wilderness. Beloved, but coming to the point to me absolutely important: to know that God’s Word remains eternally true and nothing can be added, nothing can be explained. As I already said, when our Lord speaks in His humanity then He, for instance, says in John, chapter 5, verse 19, “The Son can do nothing, but what He seeth the Father do the Son doeth likewise.” When He speaks in His humanity, He says, “No one knows the day or the hour, not even the angels, not even the Son but the Father only.” So we must understand as what He speaks, whether He acts as Son of God, as Son of David, as Son of Man; whether we see Him as the Mediator, as the High Priest, as the Advocate. We must see Him in all the different aspects He had to take care of according to the Plan of Salvation. Coming to the revelation and manifestation of God in Christ, we can only say, in the Old Testament there is not a single record of a father haven spoken to a son in heaven, not a single record that God in eternity as Father had begotten the Son and given birth to the Son. As, for instance, if you take church history books with 800 pages and read all the statements here that God as Father in eternity has begotten the Son and has given birth to the Son and then has sent the Son. Beloved, and then if you read further on the statements that the two together have given the existence of the third person, as some believe. And others say that the same first person brought into existence the second person and also brought into existence the third person. But how can one God bring into existence another God and call it “God the Father”, “God the Son” and “God the Holy Ghost”? That’s never in this book! Not in this book! It might be in your catechism, it might be in church history books, but it’s not in God’s book! In the Old Testament, although the Lord God revealed Himself in many different ways, He is only spoken of in the singular as one God. “Hear, o Israel, I am the Lord, your God. I am one.” And especially, if you read the Prophet Isaiah from chapter 42 to chapter 48, you have it, you have it where God speaks of Himself that there is no one else who had ever been before Him or who would be after Him. And by the way, if you go to Genesis, chapter 1, verse 26 and 28, where the Lord God says, “Let us make men in our own image.” You must go to Genesis 11 where it says, “Let us go down”, you must go to all the other scriptures where the word “us” is being used, because the angelic world was present where ever the Lord God was, whether it’s on earth or in heaven. And He can be at the same time on earth and in heaven. Beloved, in the New Testament God manifested Himself as Father in heaven, in the Son on earth, in us by the Holy Spirit, but not three individual personalities who talk with each other, who love each other, who cooperate with each other, as you read in the church history books like this. In this book you never read that there are three persons in heaven who love one another, who cooperate – that’s blasphemy, nothing short of blasphemy! God reveals Himself, but He always remains the same. Beloved, as you might understand: I have a call from the Lord God with an audible voice which I received on April, 2nd, 1962. By a divine commission I have to go from country to country, from city to city to acquaint this generation for the last time with God and His Plan of Salvation, showing the way back to the Holy Scriptures, to Bible teachings, to Bible practice, so that before the Return of Christ, as is promised in the Old and the New Testament, all things be restored. God said, “I will send you the Prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord comes.” And Beloved, the Day of salvation is ending and the terrible Day of the Lord will break forth, when the sun shall shine no more and the moon shall turn into blood. Beloved, hear ye the words of the Lord! Return to God and His Word away from all interpretations, from all traditional teachings. Return to God! This is our time to prepare for the second coming of Christ which is promised in John, chapter 14, and which is absolutely near. Therefore let us get ready. May we be prepared! May we be found in the Word of God, washed in the blood of the Lamb, sealed by the Holy Spirit, believing as the Scripture says, so that we are all on God’s side and therefore understand, the Lord now completes His work with His New Testament Church. And I want you to be present when the trumpet sounds and the voice of the archangel will be heard and the dead in Christ shall rise and we shall be changed. May you be part of that great event of the Rapture, when the Lord returns to take us home. May God bless you and be with you. This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. God bless you in Jesus’ holy Name.
