All that are in the “graves” of religious-sounding men who have led the many astray with the flattering tongue (Babylon) shall hear His voice and shall come forth. Some will do good towards the hearing of His voice which shall come to the churches in the preaching of the brothers who will be sent forth in His authority. They will receive what they will hear in faith.
Others will not as they will do evil….prating with malicious words against the Truth and the brothers who will be sent to them.
John 5:28-30 KJV
(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
As He hears, He judges. What will be the response of church-going men to His voice?
(30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Will they behave like Diotrephes who loved to be first among men? Will they come forth to do evil at the most critical time of their lives? Will they exalt themselves in the temple as God and forbid others from receiving the Word of Truth and those who will preach it?
He writes unto the church….but “Diotrephes” will love to have the preeminence among the churches and will not receive the brothers who will come preaching the Word of Truth…His voice.
3 John 1:9-11 KJV
(9) I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
(10) Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
All those who will do good shall come forth unto the resurrection of life. All those who are not of God shall come forth unto the resurrection of condemnation.
(11) Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Marvel not if the world shall hate you for receiving the Word of Truth. Marvel not that “Diotrephes” shall hate you as they will prate against anyone who will receive the brothers with malicious words. But if we show love towards the brothers who will preach the Truth to them, then we know that we have passed from the death unto life. If we hear His voice, we are to come forth unto the resurrection of life….doing good towards the brothers….receiving them in love and believing in the Word.
1 John 3:13-15 KJV
(13) Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
(14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
(15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
We are to hear the incorruptible Word of God and be born again. We are to have unfeigned love of the brothers who will come to preach the Word of Truth to us.
1 Peter 1:22-25 KJV
(22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
(23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
All flesh is as grass. We pass away very quickly from this earth. But the Word of the Lord endures to the coming Age. That is, we shall endure unto the coming Age if we do His Word….making it flesh.
(24) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
(25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
He comes to the churches…but many shall not receive Him as they will think that their Lord “delays His coming” and will begin to beat upon those servants who were sent by Him to them.
John 1:11-14 KJV
(11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many that shall receive Him, to them He gives power to become the sons of God….to those who will believe on His “name”…that is, His authority. His thoughts and ways are over our own erroneous thoughts and ways.
(12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word is to be made flesh. We are to do His will.
(14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Blessed are they that will do His commandments….as they will receive the brothers in unfeigned love.
Revelation 22:14-16 KJV
(14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
(15) For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
They will see who it is that will visit them through the messengers. It will be Jesus Himself who will have sent that messenger to testify of these things in the churches. He walks amidst the churches by the brothers who He will send out to preach His voice.
(16) I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
But Diotrephes will not believe. He will think that the Lord delays His coming and will begin to beat upon the brothers with malicious words.
Others will not as they will do evil….prating with malicious words against the Truth and the brothers who will be sent to them.
John 5:28-30 KJV
(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
