Message from pastor Gilson Sousa:

We greet all our brethren with the peace of the Lord Jesus! We are starting Sunday Bible School. The subject to be pre-

sented is the book of Revelation: the message of the Holy Spirit resonates in the midst of the Faithful Church, in relation to the prophetic markers that are being fulfilled in our day, in the preparation of the Church for the rapture.

Pastor Gilson Sousa presented the answers given by various brothers to the questions posed, as well as various experiences and testimonies.

Message from Pastor Gedelti Gueiros

We need to remind pastors and churches that our main concern is the children. We are completely changing the objectives of the work regarding groups of people. Thus, the most important group is the children.

There is a world that is unaware of a process that aims to harm children. The fights that the world is fighting are fights that will not change. There is a group set on creating enmity between people. Everything

we're hearing is aimed at creating an atmosphere of division or confrontation: the worker against the boss, the caboclo (Brazilian indigenous and European mix) against the indigenous native, the woman against the man. All this comes to create division. Man has become feminine, and woman has become masculine. And all this fighting is aimed at the children.

That's why we need to take care of the family. The children's participation in Sunday Bible

School is more important than that of the adults. They are doing more than the adults. We are seeing these testimonies, and we need to take care of our children.

The work of the Holy Spirit moves forward. Our concern is tomorrow. We don't have much time left. But we have a great responsibilit.

Let's get into the subject of this Bible School:

“Because you have kept My

command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the Whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 3:10

The word tribulation is being brought by religion without revelation. Many are saying that the church is going to go through the great tribulation. However, the text says: “since you have kept the word of my patience, I will bring you out of this time, that is, out of the Great Tribulation to come”. The word tribulation is thlipsis. This word is used in Greek to explain the word affliction, temptation, tribulation. The book of Revelation goes on to say:

“And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:14

The detail here is the “about” and “from”. The difference is that the Lord is talking about great tribulation and not from great tribulation. The church has been suffering a time of great tribulation. Many have gone through terrible trials. They were the martyrs. They died bearing witness to the faith they professed. And the text, in Luke 21:24, says: “until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled”. Martyrs are present all over the world. They were those who suffered and were killed for the sake of the Gospel. The Great Tribulation will

come after the rapture of the church. Those who are with the revelation know that they will not stay, they will not go through the Great Tribulation.

That's why the Word needs to be revealed.

We are facing the last warning for the church. The aim is to reach the remnant, a church that was dying, that was running out. And we have this great responsibility to say so. We need to take a stand. We have reached a point where there is no way out. When the Israelites was preparing to leave Egypt, the Lord said to them: “So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt at night... and when I see the blood, I will pass over you.”

That's why we're saying: “Maranatha, the Lord Jesus is coming!”

May the Lord bless us
