During Sunday Evening Story-Time, on September 5, 2010, the IL teaching elder was talking about inheritance and getting out from under the authority of Satan .... when, referring to Jesus, he said the phrase, "to OUR KING". I was absolutely shocked! In nearly 30 years of listening to the Cunning Royal Jester -- and his Jokers, too -- preach .... I NEVER heard him -- or any of them -- EVER say ANYTHING about Jesus being OUR KING! To my knowledge, not during any conferences or meetings; not on any recorded old 8-track tapes, cassettes, MP3’s, CD’s, DVD’s, or live webcasts; not in printed literature, tracts, or books .... no where .... no time .... was Jesus called OUR KING. I remember one time that a lady sang a song at a conference about Jesus being King and people rolled their eyes with facial expressions to indicate she just didn’t know ‘right-division’ yet! She wasn’t ‘in the know’ like WE were! Someone needed to straighten her out and teach her the scriptures!
To give credit where credit is due, ‘mid-Acts-ers’ do acknowledge Jesus is King -- but the problem is, that they see Him as only as King OF THE JEWS. They know He was born KING OF THE JEWS (Matt 2:2). They know He was crucified as KING OF THE JEWS (Matt 27:37, John 19:19). But ‘mid-Acts-ers’ believe the ‘earthly’ Jesus .... was ‘another Jesus’ .... a ‘different’ Jesus from Who-they-call the ‘risen, glorified Lord’ that appeared to Saul/Paul on the road to Damascus. Therefore, they do not accept or believe Jesus as their King, thinking that Jesus was "operating in Israel’s program" then.
Since I am no longer a ‘mid-Acts-er’ and I do not follow the Cunning Royal Jester’s stories anymore .... I have been presenting the fact that Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles (Rom 11:13) which ‘mid-Acts-ers’ CLAIM to follow (but don’t), by inspiration of God, TWICE named Jesus as KING .... once, obviously, Who He is NOW:
1 Tim 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
.... and again, Who He ‘IS’ now, and Who He will be shown to be at His appearing .... namely, the KING of kings:
1 Tim 6:14-15 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
How could anyone read that verse .... and then read this passage .... and still think that PAUL taught a SECRET, MYSTERY APPEARING of King Jesus that was a DIFFERENT APPEARING than the rest of the prophets wrote of? The Cunning Royal Jester has blown smoke:
Rev 19:11-16 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
John wrote of the revelation (the appearing) of Jesus Christ, as did Paul .... when He appears as King of kings .... one and the same coming!
Just for the record, I have been teaching for over a year now, that JESUS IS KING. The Cunning Royal Jester may be trying to make a change (by calling Jesus our King) without anyone drawing attention to it, so he can say he’s taught that before. Yes, the winds of change are blowing .... the Cunning Royal Jester called Jesus "our King". I’m pointing it out for you to notice, so you will not be blown away if he claims he preached it all along, when he didn’t.
This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
