Jesus The Prophet

JESUS: THE REAL PROPHET


Last week's chronicle talked about Jesus: the real Apostle. This week I want to add that He is also the real Prophet.
There is no place in the Bible that says that the ministry of the prophet was to cease (Heb. 13:8), but that it would operate "till" the Church comes to maturity and the Glorious Church is presented unto Jesus her Husband (Eph. 4:11-16; 5:27). The evil religious tradition of cessassionism thwarts this prophetic purpose-true theocratic order strikes the very heart of denominationalism and democratic church government.
The Greek word for "PROPHET" is prophetes, and it means, "a foreteller, an inspired speaker; one who speaks forth openly, one who speaks for another; the open proclaimer of a divine message; an interpreter of oracles or of other hidden things."
A prophet is God's MOUTHPIECE, His spokesman. Prophets are the eyes of the Church, vocalizing, articulating, and revealing the mind, word, and will of God to men.
Deuteronomy 18:18, KJV I will raise them up a PROPHET from among their brethren, like unto THEE (Moses), and will put My words in His mouth; and HE (Jesus the Messiah) shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.
Acts 3:22-23, KJV For MOSES truly said unto the fathers, a PROPHET shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto Me; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you.every soul, which will not hear that PROPHET (Jesus), shall be destroyed from among the people (cp. Acts 7:37).
Matthew 21:11, KJV And the multitude said, This is Jesus the PROPHET of Nazareth of Galilee (compare Jn. 4:19; 7:40).
Jesus is the real Prophet-He is the very Word of God (Jn. 1:1,14). Jesus spoke only the words of His Father (Jn. 5:19-20; 12:49; 14:10,24; 17:8), and moved in the ministry of prediction (Lk. 11:49; Matt. 24).
Jesus is the consummate New Testament pattern Prophet, and personifies each of the fivefold ministries (Eph. 4:8-11). Moses was the Old Testament mediator (Jn. 1:17; Gal. 3:19); Jesus, the Prophet like Moses, mediated the New Testament (1 Tim. 2:5). Whoever would not obey the words of "that prophet" (Jesus) would be "destroyed." He who has the Son has life; He who ignores the prophetic Son has no life (1 Jn. 5:12).
Have you heard the voice of the Spirit of God in your spirit? Are you among those who hear and obey His voice (Jn. 10:3-5,16,27; 18:37; Heb. 3:15)? Does Jesus the Prophet speak into your life? Is He, is His Word, alive in your heart and mind?

The Candidates - Update

Chris Christie seems to be a good man, he certainly did a good job as US Attorney of NJ. However, among all those declared, one stands out based on vision and clarity of message alone. Having previously served three terms as Mayor of Bogota, Steve Lonegan has the experience necessary to manage a State. Even though I still have an interest in running as an Independent Candidate, I recognise the obvious "impossibility" of being elected as I am a "nobody" State wide. So I am thinking very rationally here when I suggest keeping your eye and an open ear on Mayor Steve. Perhaps an Independent Lt. Gov can be elected. Perhaps that position is more obtainable. Thinking, thinking, thinking...

Republican Side Show

I have been sitting by watching what is going on between the republican candidates for New Jersey Governor, since former US Attorney Chris Christie formally announced last week. Instead of commenting in a knee jerk reaction on either www.electricnews.com or www.longbranch.net - I just decided to wait and see what develops by weeks end.

Look Ahead in New Jersey

I am completely disappointed in Jon Corzine. I was watching the early move to run by former Mayor Steve Lonegon. I like Steve, and he did a good job as Mayor of Bagota. It appears that former US Attorney of NJ Chris Christie is as well moving towards the Republican nomination for NJ Governor.

It looks like an opportunity for an Independent Candidate to take the State in the very next election. The State is "broken" and the only way to fix it is to make the kinds of decisions that would "piss off" the very powerful factions needed to be elected.

Here in lies the key to winning at the polls for Governor of New Jersey! Research indicates that approximately 40% of registered voters, vote. Undeclared Independent voters outnumber registered Dems & Republicans in our state. Which means "independents" are the faction a candidate needs.

Working to get "us" out to vote is no easy "project."

However, if these people "rally" in a manner similar to "revolution" the job could get done and a Governor would be elected, who would owe no particular "union", "lobby" or "faction" - making what both "Dems" & "Republicans", call "hard" decisions, simple necessary decisions from a rational and undaunted Governor.

If you agree with me on this important moment in New Jersey history, where spending is out of control, taxes highest in the nation, corruption at every turn... then email me at jerseykev@aol.com -

Am I declaring my candidacy for Governor? We shall see!

June 5, 2007 - Not A Candidate

I have decided not to run for State Senate and to support Assemblyman Sean Kean (R).

Eminent Domain and fiscal mismanagement as well as corruption of elcted officials in Long Branch have kept me from pursueing anything outside my home turf.

I will concentrate all my efforts in support of Eminent Domain Abuse victims, and to replacing The continueing members of the Schneider Team.

God Bless you all.

Greetings: I apologize for the few days I didn't write. I was overwhelmed with the holiday. During the Thanksgiving weekend I realized just how serious the problems of the State are. Tax reform is long overdue. What is coming out of Trenton today is too little too late. Iam not going to credit the Republicans for pushing the democratic controlled State Senate & Assembly to action. True the Dems have had controll since 2004, however the last full decade has been abusive to the tax payers of the State. In my book, they are both to blame. I have started telling folks that I am interested in running for the Senate seat in the 11 th district. First question they ask me is "what party?" When I tell them, "neither, I am running independent of both." They look at me, and I see a warm glow in their eyes. I am affirmed that 2007 is the year for undeclared independents to rise up and take some seats in both the Senate and the Assembly. Thats it for now, speak to you all soon. God Bless.

The District - yesterday, today and tomorrow

Good morning:

I spent the morning looking over the 25 communities that make up the 11 th district. I also checked into the campaigns for State Senate 6years ago. Most specifically the campaign contributions of those who ran. I found it rather interesting that Sean Kean when he first ran to fill the seat of the late Assemblyman Smith, 2003 he spent around $100,000.00. Two years later in 2005 he spent in excess of $350,000.00.

Senator Palaia presently has slightly under $10,000.00 in his campaign account. I noticed his has continual activity. He donates to different charities and non-profits throughout the district.
I think that is a good tact on his part. I am seeing how he has been able to maintain his victories for 18 years.

I wish him well, in his retirement.

I am waiting to see what the recommendations are from the 4 committee's who have been looking for ways to lower taxes. That is a big issue and should not be made too complex. Public service needs to return back to just that, "service for the public" - not high paying jobs for political friends of the elected!

Have a great day!
