The Mystery
I, Nathan Rozenhart, know the sign of Christ. See Matthew chapter 24, verse 30: “And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven.”
Throughout the centuries, Christians and the church have wondered: which sign?
Because Jesus did speak about it to his immediate disciples two thousand years ago, but the Bible doesn’t give any further imagery.
In the last century, this was revealed to me. Perhaps the immediate group around Jesus (Yeshua) also knew that sign.
For me, the current church is finished. And the new church (congregation) consists of people who feel directly connected to Christ. And gather in this light, simply at home. “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst.” – Matthew chapter 18, verse 20.
Don’t be a follower of organized religion. Encounter Christ directly, where your heart is. He manifests himself as love: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” – John chapter 13, verses 34 and 35.
The church (new congregation) is not to be a charitable institution, certainly not primarily. But one should sit at his feet like Mary and listen to his teachings. “It happened, as they were going, that he entered a certain village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.
And she had a sister named Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
But Martha was busy serving. When she came to him, she said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me.”
Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
Only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.” – Luke chapter 10, verses 38-42.
Jesus calls this first love: “And you have endured hardship and shown patience. For my name’s sake you have labored and not grown weary.
But I have this against you, because you have left your first love.” – Revelation chapter 2, verses 3 and 4.
We, as the Rozenhart group, are familiar with this first love.
The new congregation (church) should fully have the attitude of a Mary.
“Remember then from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works.” But if not, I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.’ – Revelation chapter 2 verse 5.
(Info: The – golden – lampstand is the symbol of the angel of the church.)
