Salvation through Born Again 182 emperors, sinners and Popes? Or do you want to go the heaven where the saints are taken up? 94 Do you reject the loving call of God who says - In an ac- ceptable time, I have heard you, and in the day of salvation, I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 95 II So, what shall we say? What is the advantage of the Jews? What is the disadvantage of the gentiles? I would say there is nothing disadvantage, because - all have sinned and determined for the death pit under the curse. They were given the Law and services of God but they were all shadows but the body is of Christ. So, 96 if anyone whether Jew or gentile whoever believes in Christ, received His forgiveness, cleansed by the Holy Spirit, received into the kingdom of God by the Father God, they are ble- ssed, rest of the people are gen- tiles and they are determined for the terrible hell and will be torm- ented there forever. 97 He says - I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and The Salvation is the Gift of God I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him, who wills nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 98 And the scripture says to Pharaoh like this : For the Scr- ipture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 99 But as it is written: To whom (the Presidents and the Prime Ministers) He was not annou- nced, they shall see; and those who have not heard shall unde- rstand. In Him the Gentiles shall hope. 100 Hence - I am always making supplications for you that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ shine in your hearts that you may see His rule, your eyes hear His living words and be blessed. 101 It is written : I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me. Who- ever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For I ha- ve been appointed by the Alm- Salvation through Born Again 183 ighty living God to proclaim to you - the President and the Prime Minister of every nation - that you may believe and pray to Him, and Jesus who you hear, died for your sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day acco- rding to the Scriptures. 102 Moreover He Himself says about the fullness of the church that is saved from the gentiles according to the scriptures - I will call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved. 103 Then what happened to the Pharaohs, emperors and great kings who resisted His will? Who resisted His will? Will he survive? 104 But you may say to me, who are you to tell these things to us? Are you worthy of saying these things to us? Why do you say these? Do not think that nobody has ever told you like this about me! 105 About this it is written - Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” Does the Ax raise itself above the person who swi- ngs on it? The Salvation is the Gift of God 106 In another place it questio- ned - Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dish- onor? 107 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destru- ction? 108 So O President or O Prime Minister who are in power! wh- oever you may be, you are with- out excuse. If you do not comp- rehend thoroughly that you will be judged on that day for what you are ruling. 109 You are ruling the countries on the earth that you may know that He (the living God) is ruler over you, and He is the supreme God in the eternal kingdom of heaven. 110 It is written that you may know that the Almighty high God is ruler over upon such who rule the kingdoms of the earth and He is the judge who judges all humankind, and no one can escape His judgment. 111 But will you escape the
