The Rapture: The Blessed Hope Revealed to Paul Alone
Posted by Edward R. Cross on June 10, 2026

Posted by Edward R. Cross on June 8, 2026
Christ promised His sheep eternal life and that they would never perish — and He meant it.

The Anointing of the Spirit: What Changed When the Mystery Was Revealed?

Under the prophetic program the Spirit was poured upon selected individuals externally and conditionally. Under the mystery every believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit the moment they trust Paul's gospel — permanently and universally. This article shows what changed when the mystery was revealed.
