CHRIST CAME AND TAUGHT THE TRUE GOSPEL OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM To His Apostles and The Ephesus Church. But, As The Ephesus Church Lost Her First Love, The First Century Jews & Christians Lost The TRUE GOSPEL, Again!

Jesus Christ, after His Resurrection, taught Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom to His Apostles and trusted disciples. And the Apostles taught this supernal Wisdom to the first-century Apostolic Church, which is the Ephesus Church. Thus, the first century Ephesus Church originally possessed God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. But, as the Ephesus Church lost her FIRST LOVE, she also lost God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, again! This is the 3rd time in human history that Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom was given and lost! How did this happen?

THE RESURRECTED CHRIST TAUGHT MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM TO HIS APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES

For 40 days and 40 nights after His resurrection, and before His ascension to heaven, Christ revealed more secrets about God the Father's Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom to His Apostles and disciples according to what they were able to bear (John 20:30, 16:12-13).

• Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book. (John 20:30)

The Apostles in turn, taught Christ's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom to the saints (members) of the early Ephesus Church (Jude 1:3). Thus, the first century Ephesus Church originally possessed God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, which is the basis of their Faith. But after the death of the Apostle Paul, the Ephesus Church was mislead in their religious priorities. 

But I have this against you, that YOU LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE.  (Rev 2:4 HNV)

REMEMBER FROM WHERE YOU HAVE FALLEN, and REPENT AND DO THE FIRST WORKS; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will MOVE YOUR MENORAH OUT OF ITS PLACE, unless you repent.  (Rev 2:5 HNV)

Revelation 2:4-5 is very critical to the Salvation of every member of God's Church because Christ Jesus commanded the Church to "REMEMBER AND REPENT!" Yet, in my whole Christian Life, I never heard an explanation of these key verses of Revelation 2:4-5! And if you refer to the various Bible Commentaries, they all discussed the subject in a very general way, not giving a specific and clear answer. But, we must understand what these vital verses really mean, if we want to be saved when Christ returns!

WHAT IS THE "FIRST LOVE" THAT THE EPHESUS CHURCH LEFT?

There are 4 very important subjects here that we must identify and understand:

1. What is the "FIRST LOVE" that the Church had LEFT.
   
2. WHERE the Church have FALLEN.
3. The FIRST WORKS that we are told to DO.
4. The moving of the MENORAH (Candlestick) out of its place.

REPENT implies of a SIN that must be rectified or forgiven. We cannot repent of sin we don't know! That's why we are commanded first to "REMEMBER."

From where did the Ephesus Church falls? What is that sin that must be repented of?

FIRST LOVE = FIRST COMMAND OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS = COMPLETE AND PURE DEVOTION TO CHRIST

The Ephesus Church fell in her FIRST LOVE, which is the FIRST command of the Ten Commandments! In the beginning of her existence, the Ephesus Church possessed that FIRST LOVE, which is the COMPLETE AND PURE DEVOTION TO CHRIST (2Corinthians 11:3).

But, as time went on, and as the Church was engaging in the preaching of the True Gospel to the World, her time and attention were gradually diverted from her First Love of Christ to that love of preaching the True Gospel! 

DON'T BE MISLEAD IN IDENTIFYING AND SERVING THE LORD OF THE WORK VS THE WORK OF THE LORD!

In other words, the Church became more engrossed in the WORK OF THE LORD, instead of being engrossed in the LORD OF THE WORK! By this out-of-focus priorities, the mindset and heart of the Church was corrupted; thus, leaving the FIRST LOVE that must be devoted to Christ! This is a great sin that must be repented of, otherwise, their MENORAH (also called Lampstand or Candlestick) will be taken out from her (Revelation 2:5). And the sad fact is that the Ephesus Church did not repent of this sin!

The MENORAH is the symbol of God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM. The "moving of the Menorah out of its place" means the removal of the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom from the Ephesus Church (Revelation 2:5).  

For more explanation, go to: The MENORAH (CANDLESTICK) IS THE SYMBOL OF THE MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM AND LIGHT! The Church or the BRIDE OF CHRIST Must Be a Menorah of Light!

Thus, as the Ephesus Church lost her FIRST LOVE, she also lost God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, again! As the Church lost God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, she became an easy prey for the primordial Serpent to deceive her (2Corinthians 11:3-4).

• But I fear that, as the Serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be corrupted from a COMPLETE AND PURE DEVOTION TO CHRIST.  (2Cor 11:3)

• For if a person comes and preaches ANOTHER JESUS, whom we did not preach, or you receive A DIFFERENT SPIRIT, which you had not received, or A DIFFERENT GOSPEL, which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly!  (2Cor 11:4)

Thus, the Ephesus Church lost God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, which is the True Gospel of Christ. The True Gospel was then replaced by the different "ANOTHER GOSPEL" of "ANOTHER JESUS" inspired by a "DIFFERENT SPIRIT"!

As a result, their Kabbalistic Faith which was originally based on the powerful Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom of God, was replaced by the Faith that is now based on human wisdom (1Corinthians 2:4-5). 

• My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  (1Cor 2:4 KJV)

• That YOUR FAITH SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WISDOM OF MEN, but IN THE POWER OF GOD.  (1Cor 2:5 KJV)

And the hard Truth is that all the Churches subsequent to the Ephesus Church (except the Philadelphia Church) were contaminated with the sin of the Ephesus Church and its accompanying loss of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (Revelation 2:4-29, 3:1-32)! 

THE SUBTLE SIN OF LEAVING THE FIRST LOVE STILL CONTINUE AMONG ALL THE MODERN CHRISTIANS AND JEWS TODAY!

This SIN OF LEAVING THE FIRST LOVE still persists even to the modern Christian Churches and the Jewish people today! And all of the Christians, Jews, and their leaders today are not even aware of this Great Sin! This is the reason why the TRUE GOSPEL of God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is not known by the world's religious and political leaders (1Corinthians 2:7-8). This hard truth is the reality and proof that the TRUE GOSPEL was NOT PREACHED to the WHOLE WORLD since the First Century Ephesus Church lost it! 

Thankfully, God the Father, by His Mercy, reveals again this precious True Gospel in our End-Time Generation. Finally, the True Gospel of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is now being preached to the whole world; only by the God-Chosen Filipino "Man From The FAR EAST" (Matthew 24:14).

IN SUMMARY: 

1. The "FIRST LOVE" is the keeping of the First Commandment of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-3).
2. The Church have FALLEN in her MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP to Jesus Christ, her Husband (Ephesians 5:31-32).
3. The FIRST WORKS that we are told to DO, is the INNER WORK to build and transform the carnal Church to become the pure, chaste, and supernal BRIDE OF CHRIST (Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 2:20-22).
4. The moving of the MENORAH (Candlestick) out of its place, is the removal of the Messianic Kabbalah Light from the Church. The MENORAH is a symbol of the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, which is the major tool and instrument to build and transform the Church into the Pure BRIDE OF CHRIST.
   

I will give more detailed explanations of the above subjects in the succeeding articles. And I believed that Christ's Spirit of Truth is guiding me (John 16:13). 

For more explanations, go to the following articles:

1. WHAT ARE THE FIRST WORKS THAT CHRIST COMMANDED EVERY CHRISTIAN, JEW, and CHURCH TO DO? Failure To Do These FIRST WORKS Is The Reason For Christ To Reject You, and Them!
2. The CONTROVERSY BETWEEN GOD'S LAW AND GRACE CAUSED BY THE JERUSALEM COUNCIL VERDICT! How and Why The Jerusalem Church Started To Split! The Spirit of The Law VS the Letter of The Law.
3. The Neglect of the Super-Important NISTAR WORK OF GOD. How Were the Thousands of Churches and Congregations Led Astray to Apostasy When They Are Doing God's Work? They Fell into the Trap of "SERVING WITHOUT TRANSFORMING"!
