False Hope

[MatthewG]

There is one thing I never want to promise anyone. That is false hope.

With so many people predicting and suggesting that Jesus is coming, and people have been saying it for over 1,000 years, and its been 2,000 years.

I never want to promise you false hope. I believe Jesus came already.

People whom are literalist, or perhaps they may see that the future return of Christ is coming soon... Wont agree.

So while this is a problem for most... I never want to promise you false hope...

I do believe the hope of seening Jesus occured in the first century... I have no proof - I believe it faithfully.

Not everyone is gonna do this, and all people are able to -- who can read -- Reading the narrative of Matthew - Acts. You are gonna see the entire context...

But Matthew, when I got to church, my Pastor just tells me some good stuff, and we sing, and we read just a bit of the bible story and then we get out church and everything is great and fine.

That is so great an wonderful, for me I was taught the bible - chapter by chapter - verse by verse - and building on a foundation of scripture - of faith - of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ... The Spirit of Christ building up the spiritual person within myself...

Crazy right... You getting 1/3 I'm getting 3 of 3rds more than yourself... with you are only getting just bits and pieces only here and there preacher man teachings!

That sucks...... But I can't do nothing about it but encourage you to read for yourself. A letter to Thessalonica was a Letter to Thessalonica, not to me... not to you... not to America... Not to Canada...


This is why most people are unable to argue with me really... cause the narrative of Jesus - was a narrative to who? The Jewish people of that day, the twelve tribes sure they were split but that did not stop them from all gathering who wanted to, at the temple for passover and sacrfice and so on and so forth...


How can you make things for yourself liike this? How can you make a letter written 2000 years ago to Thessalonica for you today?

You just simply do so by saying - hey this is something we should expect today and you can't tell me anything else, and my pastor believes it, and my mom, and my brother.

Let me tell you something.... you are going about studying all wrong, or well at least learning the narrative.

Why were those people given hope to wait the faithful people of those who were waiting would see Jesus but those people dont MATTER?


Yet people are telling you to be ready for Jesus.... he is coming, and if you aren't perfect like your father heaven in heaven is perfect --- Gods gonna be mad at you!!!

 

[MatthewG]

Rewritten version:
There’s one thing I refuse to offer anyone: false hope.
For centuries, people have predicted the return of Jesus—
1,000 years, 2,000 years, and counting.
But I won’t promise you something I don’t believe is still pending.
I believe He already came.


Literalists and futurists won’t agree.
They’re still waiting, still watching the skies.
But I won’t build my foundation on speculation.
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life." — Proverbs 13:12


I believe the hope of seeing Jesus was fulfilled in the first century.
I don’t claim proof—I hold it by faith.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." — Hebrews 11:1


Not everyone will walk this path.
But anyone who can read—who’s willing to read—
can trace the narrative from Matthew to Acts
and see the full arc of fulfillment.


When I went to church, my pastor gave us good words,
we sang, we read a snippet of scripture,
and then we left feeling fine.
That’s beautiful for many.


But I was taught differently—
chapter by chapter, verse by verse,
building on the foundation of scripture,
faith in the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ,
and the Spirit of Christ forming the spiritual man within me.
"Like newborn babes, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation." — 1 Peter 2:2


It might sound wild—
you’re getting one-third,
I’m getting three-thirds.
You’re living off fragments,
while I’m feasting on the whole loaf.


And that’s not arrogance.
It’s just the reality of what’s being taught.
I can’t change your church’s rhythm,
but I can encourage you: read for yourself.


A letter to Thessalonica was a letter to Thessalonica.
Not to me. Not to you.
Not to America. Not to Canada.
"To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints..." — Romans 1:7
Paul knew his audience. So should we.


This is why most people can’t argue with me.
Because the narrative of Jesus was directed to the Jewish people of that day.
The twelve tribes—divided, yes—
but still gathering at the temple for Passover, sacrifice, and covenant.


So how do we make these ancient letters about us today?
We do it by assumption.
“My pastor believes it.”
“My mom believes it.”
“My brother believes it.”
And that becomes the standard.


But let me tell you something:
That’s not how you study.
That’s not how you learn the narrative.


Why were those people given hope?
Because they were waiting.
And the faithful among them saw Jesus.
Yet somehow, we act like they don’t matter.


Now people tell you:
“Be ready! Jesus is coming!”
And if you’re not perfect—like your Father in heaven is perfect—
then God’s going to be mad at you.


But that’s not the Gospel.
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." — Romans 8:1
"For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." — Hebrews 10:14


I’m not here to scare you into holiness.
I’m here to remind you:
The hope that was promised has already been fulfilled.
And the Spirit still speaks—if you’re willing to listen.

Most questions concerned are : Whats your hope? To be with God in the end of life, to have help and benefit of living by the resurrected Lord Yeshua's spirit now today and also builds up and is a benefit in the life to come. Hope inheriting what Jesus had, and being seen as a Son or for you women a Daughter of God....

My hope isnt in seening Jesus come back, or hoping that this world is destroyed, cause ... those things just dont make sense to hope for in the world we live in today since Jesus and his victory over all things, and his coming back to get his bride in that day in age as it was promised by the Apostles....

 

[MatthewG]

I love my country. I defintely ain't worried about unfilled promises that were ever made during a presidents run. I'm just thankful he there in the first place.

False hope is something that which is something you expect but never see... come furtion.

Many believers died in the same fashion never seeing the promises.

All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. Hebrews 11:13


Well, I expect to die with faith believing that Jesus did come and has overcome all things! And God has reconciled the world unto himself through Christ.



Radical way and a complete a whole change of a world for me... I see it getting better - where as you probably see it getting worse.
