**JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF APPOINTS SOME TO BE **TEACHERS**!!
Acts 5:42: Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house they **NEVER STOPPED TEACHING** and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah!
Acts 18:11: **TEACH** them the **WORD OF GOD**
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... **TEACHING** them to obey everything I have commanded you!"
John17:17 Jesus said to His Father, "Sanctify them by the truth, your **WORD** is truth!"
2 Timothy 3:16,17; 4:1-3: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for **TEACHING**, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**, be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction! For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of **TEACHERS** to say what their itching ears want to hear!
! Timothy 6:5: People of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth think that godliness is a means to financial gain. {The Prosperity Gospel}
I Corinthians 11:27,28: Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, and third **TEACHERS**!
Ephesians 4:7,11-13,16: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it... So Christ Himself {Not the church!} gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and **TEACHERS**, to equip His people for works of service. so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ... From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!
Romans 12:4-7: We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith, if it is **TEACHING**,**THEN TEACH**!
Titus 2:1-8,11-15: You, however, must **TEACH** what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to **TEACH** what is good. Then they can urge younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one can malign the word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your **TEACHING** show integrity, seriousness, and soundness of speech that can not be condemned.... For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It **TEACHES** us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly pleasure, and to live self-controlled lives in this present age, while we wait for the **BLESSED HOPE**--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good!

**DO PROPHETS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLL IN THE NEW COVENANT**??
I Corinthians 12:27,28: Now you are the body of Christ , and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second **PROPHETS**, third teachers.
Romans 12:4-8: For just as each of us has one body with many members, and those members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is **PROPHESYING**, then **PROPHESY in accordance with your faith, if it is teaching, then teach, If it is encouraging, then give encouragement.
Ephesians 4:7,11-13,16: But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it... So Christ Himself {Not the church!} gives some to be apostles, some to be **PROPHETS**, some to be evanglists and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ... From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every important ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!!
Ephesians 2:19,20: Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and **PROPHETS**, with Christ Jesus Himself as the Chief Cornerstone!
I Corinthians 14:1,3,4: Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially **PROPHECY**... The one who **PROPHECIES** speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.... He who **PROPHESIES** edifies the church!
I Corinthians 14:22: **PROPHECY** is not for unbelievers but **FOR BELIEVERS**!
Amos 3:7: Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the **PROPHETS**!
I Thessalonians 19-21: Do not treat **PROPHECIES** with contempt, but test them all; hold on to what is good!!
I Corinthians 14:39: Therefore, my bothers **BE EAGER TO PROPHESY**!!
2 Peter 1:19-21: We also have the **PROPHETIC** message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no **PROPHECY** of Scripture came about by the prophets own interpretation of things.. For **PROPHECY never had its origin in the human will but **PROPHETS**, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit!
Matthew 10:40,41: Jesus says, Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me, and anyone who welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. Whoever welcomes a **PROPHET** will receive a **PROPHET'S REWARD**!!
Revelartion 1:1-4: The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the words of this **PROPHECY**and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it!
Revelation 22:7,16.18,19: Jesus says, Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this book... I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony **FOR THE CHURCHES**... I warn everyone who hears the words of the **PROPHECY** of this book. If anyone **ADDS** {Like Rev 4:1 & 13:5} anything to them God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from this book of **PROPHECY**, God will take away from that person any share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book!
A perfect example of this is how some pre-trib prophets **ADD** to Revelation 4:1:
Revelation 4:1: John said in AD 96 when Revelation was written, "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And a voice I had first heard speaking to Me like a trumpet {See Rev 1:10} said, "Come up here and I will show you what must take place after this!"
Since a pre-trib rapture is not mentioned in the Olivet Prophecies in Matthew 24,25, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and in all of the prophecies in Revelation some pre-trib prophets **ADD** the ridiculous prophecy that John going up to heaven in AD 96 to learn what will happen in the future **ALSO REPRESENTS** millions of **CHURCH SAINTS** being raptured just before the beginning of the Great Tribulation???
The Post-Trib resurrection of God's saints is beautifully mentioned in the Olivet prophecies in Matthew 24:29-31, Matthew 25:31, Mark 13:24-26, and Luke 21:25-27 and in Revelation 11:15-18 and Revelation 14:14-16!!
God's New Covenant **PROPHETS** must be very careful not the change or contradict any of the inspired **PROPHECIES** in God's Word!!
Revelation 11:3: Jesus says, "I will appoint My 2 witnesses, and they will **PROPHESY** for 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.
In addition to God's 2 **PROPHETS** {Moses & Elijah?} who will come from heaven to **PROPHESY** for 1260 days during the Great Tribulation, **PROPHETS** are mentioned 8 times in Revelation while pastors, teachers and evangelists are not even mentioned once!! {See Revelation 10:7; 11:10,18; 16:6; 18:20,24; 22:6,9}
Revelation 10:7 In the days when the 7th angel is about to sound his trumpet the **MYSTERY** {See I Cor 15:51,52} of God will be accomplished !{See Revelation 11:15-18} just as He announced to His servants the **PROPHETS**!!
I Corinthians 15:51: Listen, I tell you a **MYSTERY**: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the {**7TH** and} **LAST TRUMPET**!!{See Revelation 8:2 and 11:15-18}
Revelation 22:6-9: The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the **PROPHETS**, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must take place." Jesus says, "Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the **PROPHECY** wriiten in this book." I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But the angel said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow **PROPHETS** and who all who **KEEP THE WORDS** of this book! **WORSHIP GOD**!"
Revelation 11:15,18: The 7th angel sounded His trumpet {See Rev 8:2; 10:7; I Cor 15:51}, and there were loud voices in heaven which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ and He will reign for ever and ever!"... "The time has come for judging the dead, and for **REWARDING** your servants the **PROPHETS**and your people who reverence your name!"
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!�

**CHRIST HIMSELF APPOINTS ALL NEW COVENANT **PREACHERS/ PASTORS /SHEPHERDS/OVERSEERS**
Acts 26:16-18: Jesus said to Paul, "I have appeared to you to **APPOINT YOU** as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of Me. I am sending you to the Gentiles to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me!"
Ephesians 4:7,11-13,16: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it... So Christ Himself {Not the church!} gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be **PASTORS** and teachers, to equip His people for works of service. so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God; and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ... From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!
Romans 10:14,15: How can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone **PREACHING** to them?? And how can anyone **PREACH** unless they are sent? {By Jesus} As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
I Timothy 4:13,14: Devote yourselves to the public reading of Scripture, to **PREACHING** and to teaching. Do not neglect your **GIFT**
I Peter 4:10,11: Each of you should use whatever **GIFT** you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who **SPEAKS THE VERY WORDS OF GOD**. If anyone serves they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen!
I Peter 5:1-4: To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who will also share in the gloryto be revealed. Be **SHEPHERDS** of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but **EAGER** to serve, not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you willl receive the **CROWN OF GLORY** that will never fade away.
Acts 20:27,28: For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the **WHOLE WILL OF GOD**! Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you **OVERSEERS**. Be **SHEPHERDS** of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood!
I Timothy 3:1-7: Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever desires to be an **OVERSEER** desire a noble task. Now the **OVERSEER** is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkeness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he care for God's church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment of the Devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the Devil's trap!
I Corinthians 3:5-9: The Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed. Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be **REWARDED** according to their own labor. For we are **CO-WORKERS** in God's service; you are God's field, God's building!!
Daniel 12:3: Those who impart wisdom will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!!
I Timothy 5:17: The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is **PREACHING** and teaching!
Timothy 3:16,17; 4:1-3: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for **TEACHING**, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**, be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction! For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear!
I Peter 1:22-25: Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the Living and Enduring Word of God! For, all people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall. but the **WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER**! And this is the Word that was ***PREACHED*** to you!!

2 Thessalonians 2:16,17: May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our father, who loved us and by His grace gave us **ETERNAL ENCOURAGEMENT** and good hope, **ENCOURAGE** your hearts and strenghten you in every good deed and word!
