Apostles do 5 functions:
- Sow / Proclaim / Preach The Gospel
- Gather those who receive the Gospel into a Body / City / House
- Water / Teach / Explain the Gospel to those who are gathered
- Hear & See Revelation & speak what they have heard & seen to others
- Send others to Sow, Gather, Water and to Hear, See & Speak
These 5 functions need to be done by Apostles with respect to:
- The Gospel of each Age
- Those gathered into each Age
We still need Apostles for 2 reasons:
- The Kingdom Age function of Apostles is not yet complete
- The Apostle function in higher Ages is just beginning
The Kingdom Age function of Apostles is not yet complete
- The 12 Apostles preached The Gospel of The Kingdom to the then known world.
- All of the World / All Creatures have not yet heard The Gospel of The Kingdom.
- All 5 Apostle functions are not yet complete for The Kingdom Age.
We have patterned understanding of Apostle function on:
- Yeshua in The Gospels
- The Apostles in The Acts of The Apostles
- The Apostles in their letters.
What we have seen there is entirely a Kingdom Age function.
- Few are aware of any Apostle function that is above The Kingdom Age.
- For this reason some might think that Apostles no longer have a function.
But this is not true for several reasons:
- The Kingdom Age function of Apostles is not complete.
- Yeshua’s function in The Gospels was not only a Kingdom Age function.
- Apostles have function in Ages above The Kingdom Age.
- Apostles have function at least up to The Age of Rest.
The Ages:
- The Church Age
- The Kingdom Age
- The Ecclesia Age
- The Age of Melchizedek
- The Age of Peace
- The Age of Rest
- The Age of Zion
- The Golden Age
The Apostle function in higher Ages is just beginning
- Some Apostles have been unknowingly doing these functions.
- Some Apostles are beginning to knowingly do these functions.
- They will train other Apostles to knowingly do these functions.
Apostle function in Ages above The Kingdom Age:
- Yeshua as The Apostle functioned in 5 Ages in The Gospels.
- John functioned in The Ecclesia Age.
- Paul described an Apostle’s function in The Age of Melchizedek.
- Paul wrote of Apostles functioning up until a certain point in time.
Yeshua as The Apostle functioned in 5 Ages in The Gospels:
- The Kingdom Age
- The Ecclesia Age
- The Age of Melchizedek
- The Age of Peace
- The Age of Rest
Kingdom Age function as an Apostle vs. Yeshua’s function as an Apostle:
Kingdom Age Function as an Apostle | Yeshua’s Function as an Apostle | Our Function as Apostles Following Yeshua’s Forerunning |
An Apostle | The Apostle | An Apostle |
In The Kingdom Age | In The Ecclesia Age to The Age of Rest | In The Ecclesia Age to The Age of Rest |
In The Holy Spirit | The Son | In The Son |
Specific Manifestations of The Spirit | Specific Spirits of God | Specific Spirits of God |
The 12 were The Forerunners for Kingdom Age Apostles | Yeshua is The Forerunner for Apostles Patterned on him | Some are Forerunners of this. Others are Followers of The Forerunners. |
Kingdom Age Apostles function in many of The 9 Manifestations of The Spirit:
- There are some Manifestations that all Kingdom Age Apostles function in ( eg. Miracles ).
All Apostles patterned on Yeshua function in the following Spirits of God:
- The Spirit of The LORD
- The Spirit of Wisdom
- The Spirit of Understanding
- The Spirit of Counsel
- The Spirit of Might
Some are called as:
- Kingdom Age Apostles
- Apostles Patterned on Yeshua as The Apostle
How do you know which you were called as?
- By which Ages you have functioned in as an Apostle
Some Kingdom Age Apostles will transition to function like Yeshua.
- This will require further training.
John functioned in The Ecclesia Age.
- He did this in The Revelation of Jesus Christ 2 – 3.
He received revelation about Overcoming.
- Revelation is an Arch Stone in The Ecclesia Age.
- He revealed that Overcoming is by some individuals & some Ecclesias.
Paul described an Apostle’s Age of Melchizedek function.
- He did this in Hebrews 6:1-3.
Apostles lay Kingship as a Foundation in believers.
- Kingship is part of The Age of Melchizedek.
Apostles teach 4 Kingship Doctrines:
- The Doctrine of Baptisms
- The Doctrine of The Laying on of Hands
- The Doctrine of The Resurrection of The Dead
- The Doctrine of Evelasting Judgment
Paul wrote of Apostles functioning up until a certain point in time.
- He wrote this in Ephesians 4:11-13.
He said that Apostle function is needed until:
- We all come to The Unity of The Faith & Knowledge of The Son of God.
- We all come to a Perfect Man.
- We all come to The Fulness of The Stature of Christ.
Apostle function is needed until we all come to all 3.
- Who is “All”?
- All is all believers.
What is The Unity of The Faith & Knowledge of The Son of God?
- This Unity is several things.
- It is functioning in Yeshua’s Faith as The Son of God.
- It is knowing Yeshua as The Son of God.
Yeshua did much of his Work as The Son of God.
- Most believers do not see this.
- They see him as functioning as a Kingdom Age Apostle.
- And / or as The Christ / The King.
- As a consequence they do not know him as The Son of God.
What is a Perfect Man?
- It is a man who has grown up into full spiritual maturity as a man.
- It is a man who is doing The Perfect Will of God as a Living Sacrifice.
What is The Fulness of The Stature of Christ?
- It is full grown Kingship.
The Progression up to functioning as a Son of God:
- An Apostle lays a Foundation of Kingship in a believer.
- The believer functions in Kingship.
- The believer functions as a Son being shown how / what to do by Father.
- Father shows a Son how to raise The Dead.
- A Son begins to raise The Dead as a Son of God.
An Apostle initially proclaims this Progression / Pattern to you.
- This reveals the pattern to you.
An Apostle coaches you through each step of the progression.
- The Apostle functions as a Father to you throughout the progression.
Every believer is to be brought into & through this progression.
- Apostles will no longer be needed once all believers have completed this journey.
Practical Tasks of Apostles:
- Establish houses
- Gather
- Decide doctrines
- Raise sons
- Remove stumbling blocks
- Beget / birth
- Communicate big picture
- Communicate names / character of Yeshua and father
- Raise benches
- Ensure values are maintained
