The War
By: Minister E. J. Kolenda
[Important Note]
On October 27, 2006 Brother Kolenda went home to be with the
LORD. He was 102 years, 1 month and 27 days on earth.
He has left many writings, teachings, and books to keep this
ministry going for many years to come. This is the first
newsletter since he went home. Hope you all enjoy it.
[In the past few months with all the wars and rumors of
wars, we need to study this subject. The following
article is taken from Brother Kolenda's book "Armageddon
Now." We have found so many things happening lately that's
already in this book. It was written before 1980]
Inauguration of The King
Christ does not find a millennium when He comes. He is to
make one.
The millennium will have it's beginning at the personal
return of JESUS CHRIST: when He will remove and cleanse
everything that offends or is a stumbling block. [Matthew
13:41]
The battle of Armageddon marks the end of this age, and
ushers in the New Age of one thousand years when Christ
will reign.
That there will be only a remnant of mankind left is spoken
of by all the prophets.
[Zechariah 12:14] "All the families that remain…"
[Zechariah 14:16] "…that every one that is left of all the
nations which came up against Jerusalem…"
[Zechariah 8:6] "…if it be marvelous in the eyes of the
remnant of this people in this day …"
[Romans 11:5] "Even so then at this present time also there
is a remnant according to the election of grace.
GOD always starts with a remnant, only a few.
When the flood came in Noah's day, only eight souls were
saved out of the billions then living.
In the days of Abram [later called Abraham], GOD called out
of the many then living, Abram and Sarai. Out of these two
people, He built a great nation.
In the days of Sodom and Gomorrah there were only three
souls saved out of a multitude in the large cities. The
rest perished.
Israel numbered four million people when they left Egypt.
Only two men of the four million who left entered the
Promised Land.
GOD always works with a remnant!
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
[Matthew
7:14]
"Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say
unto you, will seek to enter, and shall not be able."
[Luke
13:24]
The claim being made by some, that tens of thousands are
being saved daily for CHRIST, is very contrary to the
teaching of CHRIST. The LORD is saying, "many are called,
but few are chosen."
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a
thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the LORD"
[Amos 8:11]
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north
even to the east, they shall run to and fro." [Amos 8:12]
True, one can find religion at almost every street corner
church everywhere. However, truth or Christianity is found
so seldom.
"Not all that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter unto
the Kingdom of Heaven. [Matthew 7:21]
Therefore, GOD is working now, at the end of this age, with
a remnant.
When JESUS, the King of Israel, returns, He will set up His
Kingdom.
"In that day shall the Branch of the LORD be beautiful and
glorious and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and
comely for them that are escaped of Israel [the remnant].
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion,
and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy,
even every one that is written among the living in
Jerusalem." [Isaiah 4:2,3]
These above scriptures certainly point out the fact that
the remnant that will be left will be holy. There will not
be a mixed unclean, unholy crowd going into the millennium.
"When the LORD shall have washed away the filth of the
daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of
Jerusalem,,," [Isaiah 4:4]
In that day, when the inauguration of JESUS, as King over
His people, Israel, takes place, man's life will be
prolonged.
And they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they
shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
They shall not build, and another inhabit [houses will
never be sold for taxes or mortgage payments and taken
away]. They shall not plant and another eat: for as a day
of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall
long enjoy the work of their hands.
They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble;
for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their
offspring with them.
There shall be universal peace on the earth among the
nations.
When reading what is to come after Armageddon it makes the
cleansing of this old bloody idol-worshiping place worth
the war to come.
As this is being written they are gathering together for
the coming war. The heavens are full of weapons and all is
coming together even more than it was when the book
"Armageddon Now" was written. Yes the cleansing of this
earth and the coming King is getting very near every day.
For all these years the wheat and the tares have grown
together. The wheat has been told to make a difference
between clean and unclean.
"…He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat
into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire" [Matthew 8:12]
He has a fan in His hand and Armageddon is the fan.
Let both [the wheat and the tares] grow together until the
harvest [until Armageddon]: and in the time of harvest I
will say to the reapers, gather ye together FIRST the
tares, and bind them in bundles to BURN them: but gather
the wheat into My barn" [Matthew 13:30]
The Lamb of GOD came to cleanse and purify mankind. He
tasted death for every man.
The mighty Christ Jesus is coming back to purge this earth
of the tares and to cleanse with fire.
"And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and
He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold
and silver, that they may unto the LORD an offering in
righteousness" [Malachi 3:1-4]
Then the earth will be filled with the glory of the LORD.
How much truth does it take to go to heaven?
May GOD Richly and Abundantly Bless You All,
Your Minister and Apostle of Revelation Truth

I miss Brother Kolenda so very much. I grieve for us
because he is not with us and then I read the writings and
peace fills me. He is with the one that he taught about all
these many years. Oh what he must be seeing now. His written
teachings of the doctrines will live on for us and I want
to get them out to all of you so look for many more to come.
On November 6, 2006 my daughter died just ten days after
Brother Kolenda. She was 46 years. The grief is more
than I can describe. So I want to get the newsletter and
the blog going strong. If you go to egospelblog.com you
can also comment or ask questions.
Look up your redemption draweth nigh,

It takes a great deal of wisdom
To recognize it in someone else.
When the head and the heart are in conflict
The body becomes the battleground
Don't count your years; Make your years count!

but not every man's greed."
