Preface

I have read that it has been said, "The book to write is the one that you would like to read and cannot find anywhere." One of the reasons for the writing of this book is the fact that I could not find one that presented these truths in a manner in which truth was not distorted. Many express men's opinions, but it is my intent to express the truth itself. The primary reason for this book is that I believe God spoke to my spirit by HisSpirit to "write in a book the things, which you have seen and heard."In this book I present to you the Truth as the Spirit of God revealed it to me through visions, revelation, study and information given tome by spirit-filled, God-fearing people. The truth presented in this book is not the popular consensus of fundamental groups, but is the only view that presents the truth in a consistent, logical, honest, intelligent and comprehensible manner.Beginning with the Reformation, God began restoring "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." That is, the Faith which had been lost through tradition, opinions and human ideas. Remember, the Bible says, "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (I Cor. 2: 14) Again, the Bible says, "As it is written, Eye hath not seen,nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us byHis Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." (I Cor. 2: 9, 10) This tenth verse in the Amplified NT reads, "Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the (Holy) Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even soundings the profound and bottomless things of God -- the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny."Remember what Jesus said, "If any man will do His will,he shall know of the doctrine." (Jn. 7: 17) There has to be obedience tothe truth already revealed to receive more truth.Prov. 4: 18 "The path of the just is as the shining light,that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."Several years ago, while I was praying God gave me a vision. In the vision I saw a train moving rapidly through the night. While I was watching this vision, I was trying to understand what God was saying tome. There was a night scene, a fast moving train and a light shining out into the night. The Spirit spoke to me and said, "Watch the light." I was so taken up with trying to understand what God was saying to me by the vision of the train,that I really did not grasp what the Spirit was saying. I watched the train as it raced through the night and came into a turn. As it began to make the turn,the trees and grass were lit up along the tracks. The Spirit said again,"Watch the light." The train made the turn and headed down the track. I could see out into the night. The track was lit up by the light. Again, the Spirit said, "Watch the light." Suddenly, I saw the train slowing down and coming to a stop. When it stopped, the Spirit said again, "Watch the light." Still I did not understand what God was trying to tell me. After a moment, the train began to move again. As the big wheels on the engine began to move and the train began to move down the track, the Spirit said again, "Watch the light." This time I was made to understand what the Spirit was saying. As the train moved, the light moved. When the train stopped, the light stopped.We must move in the light that we have, for God to give us more. If we stop moving on in the direction of the light (truth), the light will stop.Heb. 6: 1 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, 
let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundationof repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God."Eph. 4: 11--14 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the PERFECTING of the SAINTS,for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,UNTO A PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"As we now approach this book, I would admonish you to join your prayers with mine, that God would grant you divine revelation and understanding. Without the inspiration and help of the Holy Spirit, I question that you will understand the real meaning that is being presented in this book. There is much prejudice against the study and understanding of thisRevelation. I now endeavor to present the truths as God has given them to me,earnestly praying God's blessing upon what is written and upon all those who read and desire to understand.Rev. James R. Reynolds Sr.

Introduction

It is the duty and responsibility of the preacher to declare the whole counsel of God. In Acts 20: 27 the Apostle Paul said:"…I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."Whether or not it is accepted or rejected is not the responsibility of the preacher. His duty is to declare the truth as it is recorded in the Word of God. It is imperative that believers know the truth,not someone's ideas about the truth. In Jn. 8: 32 Jesus said:
"…Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."In writing this book I have endeavored to let the Word ofGod speak for itself. However, there is a lot of mystery in the Word of God and where that is evident I have depended on the Holy Spirit to reveal themystery.Paul said:I Cor. 2: 9, 10 "…Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that loveHim. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."There is mystery in the Word of God concerning the Church,the true Church (the Body of Christ), which Christ said He would build and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.There is mystery in the Word of God concerning the Bride of Christ. Throughout this book I have endeavored to explain the mysteries as God revealed them to me by dreams, visions, revelations, and His speaking by HisSpirit.My first experience was many years ago while reading and studying the diagrams of a well-known writer, the Spirit of the Lord spoke tome and said, "What you are reading is wrong." Immediately, He led me through the Scripture and unfolded the truth to me, scripture after scripture. This is what I will be doing throughout this book, revealing the truth as the HolySpirit revealed it to me.Before you judge the book, please read it thoroughly. Prov. 18: 13 "He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him."Rev. James R. Reynolds Sr.
