    🌋THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (The proclamation of the commandments of the new age is a testimony to the fact that all people in this flow, all who hear the voice of God today, have entered a new age. The commandments of the new age are a symbol that the God and man have entered into the sphere of a new heaven and a new earth, and that God, as Jehovah did to the Israelites and Jesus did to the Jews, will do more practical work, and do of more and greater work on earth. They are also symbolic that this group of people will receive more and greater instructions from God, and will be provided for, fed, supported, cared for, and protected by Him in a practical way, He will give more practical training, and will be treated, crushed, and refined by the word of God. These also suggest that the practical God will do more practical work on earth to perfect the all His elect. There is one aspect of practical significance in the commandments of the new age: They serve as a link between the Age of Grace and the Age of Kingdom. The commandments of the new age emphasize one point: That man will worship the practical God Himself now, which involves a more practical submission to the spirit of the Spirit. The commandments also emphasize the principles that God will use to judge man whether he is guilty or righteous after He appears as the Day of righteousness.) Almighty God said The RELEASE of the COMMANDMENTS of the NEW AGE is a TESTIMONY to the TRUTH that ALL PEOPLE in this FLOW, ALL WHO HEAR the VOICE of GOD NOW, have ENTERED into a NEW AGE. This is a NEW BEGINNING for GOD'S WORK, and also a BEGINNING of the LAST PART of the WORK in GOD'S PLAN of GOVERNMENT for SIX THOUSAND YEARS. ☀️🙏 The COMMANDMENTS of the NEW AGE are a SYMBOL that GOD and MAN have ENTERED the SCOPE of a NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH, and that God, just as JEHOVAH DID to the ISRAELITES and JESUS DID to the JEWS, will DO of more PRACTICAL WORK, and WILL DO MORE and GREATER WORK on EARTH. 🙏 They are also a SYMBOL that this GROUP of PEOPLE will RECEIVE MORE and GREATER INSTRUCTIONS from God, and He will provide, feed, support, care for, and protect in a practical way, He will give even more practical training, and treatment, will be crushed, and refined by the word of God. 🙏 The significance of the commandments of the new age is quite profound. They suggest that God will actually APPEAR on EARTH, where He will CONQUER the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, REVEALING His FULL GLORY in human flesh. They also suggest that the PRACTICAL GOD WILL DO MORE PRACTICAL WORK ON EARTH to MAKE ALL OF HIS CHOSEN PERFECT.🙏 In addition to that, GOD WILL FULFILL EVERYTHING ON EARTH WITH THE WORDS, and DECLARE THE COMMANDMENT that "God incarnate will be exalted and magnified, and all people and all nations will bow down to worship God, that's great." ☀️🙏 Although the commandments of the new age are for man to obey, and although it is man's duty and obligation to do so, the meaning they represent is too profound to be fully expressed in one or two words. The COMMANDMENTS of the NEW AGE REPLACE the COMMANDMENTS in the Old Testament and the ordinances in the New Testament as REVEALED by JEHOVAH and JESUS. 🙏 This is a DEEPER LESSON, NOT AS SIMPLE A THING AS MAN MAY THINK. There is an ASPECT of PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE in the NEW AGE COMMANDMENTS: They serve as a link between the Age of Grace and the Age of Kingdom. The NEW AGE COMMANDMENTS END ALL PRACTICES and ORDINANCES in the OLD AGE, as well as ALL PRACTICES from the AGE of JESUS and the PRACTICES BEFORE THAT. ☀️ They BRING MAN into the PRESENCE of a more PRACTICAL GOD, ALLOWING him to BEGIN PERSONALLY PERFECTED by GOD; they are the BEGINNING OF THE PATH TO BEING PERFECT. THEREFORE, you must HAVE A RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE NEW AGE, and DO NOT FOLLOW them lightly--just DESPISE them. The commandments of the NEW AGE STRESS ONE POINT: THAT MAN WILL PRACTICALLY WORSHIP GOD HIMSELF NOW, INCLUDING A MORE PRACTICAL SUBJECT TO THE SPIRIT. The commandments also emphasize the PRINCIPLES GOD WILL USE to JUDGE man whether he is SINFUL or RIGHTEOUS AFTER HE APPEARS as the DAY of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 🙏☀️ COMMANDMENTS are EASIER to UNDERSTAND than to DO. From this, IT CAN BE SEEN that if GOD WANTS TO MAKE MAN PERFECT, HE HAS TO DO IT THROUGH HIS OWN WORDS and GUIDANCE, and MAN CANNOT BE PERFECT THROUGH HIS OWN NATURAL INTELLIGENCE alone. WHETHER A MAN CAN FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE NEW AGE OR NOT HAS A KNOWLEDGE OF MAN'S KNOWLEDGE OF PRACTICAL GOD. Consequently, whether or not you can obey the commandments is not a question that can be resolved in just a few days. This is a very profound lesson to learn.🙏 From "Obeying the Commandments and Practicing the Truth" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) "And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not be able to overcome it.". ... and "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... And fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17). ... It is fulfilled that God Himself is our Pastor in (Rev. 7:17) 💐 "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their PASTOR. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes" 📩 Calling and leading the sheep of God to His glorious Throne "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 to submit again to His authority so that He will continue to teach, guide and protect even in plague, famine and wild animals will not be moved by it and completely win this final battle with the big red dragon! "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and fulfillment that will be established above the sky/UA-cam in (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . . . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." 💌

    Our parish has moved so far in the direction of focusing only on numbers: counting people in pews, numbers of ministries, dollars donated, hours of adoration, students in the school. All the while they are ignoring the “least of these”:who cannot safely attend mass due to disability or high risk immune systems, they effectively shouting from the lectern that we are somehow fallen away. They would have us come into their unmasked spaces trusting in God to protect us from the Covid virus like so many snakes around our necks, just so they can feel good about the mass of people hiding from the external world outside their church walls. This ministry online, like so many other generous loving pastors we have found around the world during this pandemic, is so much more fulfilling of the inner life with Jesus than the social club that our local Parrish has fallen into. Perhaps that is the blessing hiding among the tragedies of the pandemic.
