I Delbert Magusara Haim, the truth seeker and worker in the kingdom of God. To my friends which are in Iligan, my brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces in the flesh. Grace is to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is said; even our forefathers were dead in sins but hath quickened together with Christ, by grace they were are saved and became members of the Body of Christ in particular, and seeking those things which are from above as a NEW CREATURE in the newness of time: “old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” with completeness in Christ.
Concerning the written word of God, the story of his Son, the promise, the prophecy, and the fulfillment. God our Father through Jesus Christ told the first century saints in the epistle of Paul that “all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. Why? “So That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2Ti 3:17 “
So, that is the purpose of bible preservation; for the perfecting of the saints. The same purpose of Christ’s gifted men.
Actually, God’s plan and purpose of all things will be fulfilled in the second coming of Christ saying;
In proving this truth by sight obviously, we can see the new generation today are in different kinds of doctrines. Some believe a little, some are more and some did not. Some are in peace of understanding, and some are still striving and sacrificing. Based from this insight, by transforming/extending audience relevance into “US today” the scriptures become unfulfilled and the gifted men also are failed to do their task for Christ did not yet come and they are dead.
Considering the audience relevance in the scriptures, writers’ observation, and time significance; all things that were written are completely fulfilled at their very own time.
By these, two types of belief came out after the great tribulation of Israel happened in 70AD. One group believes that is the fulfillment of all things and the other say it’s not.
These doctrines are the so called now futurism and preterism.
Futurism is a doctrine of people who believe that the fullness of time is still in the future and that Christ has not yet come. In other words, many of the prophecies written in the bible are not yet fulfilled. Preterism also is a doctrine of complete fulfillment of prophecies which the end time was witnessed by Josephus in 70AD period, the coming of the Son of man in Jerusalem which is the complete destruction of Israel, the judgment day.
Actually, the coming or the appearing of Christ is the main cause of these two sets of belief that either this is still in the future or was fulfilled. That is why now the futurists are STILL WAITING OF THE COMING CHRIST while the preterists are LIVING IN THE REALITY OF THE CHRIST WHO HAS COME spiritually. Futurists explained that Christ has not YET come because they did not hear yet the TRUMPET SOUNDS, AND THEIR BEING CAUGHT UP (the BOC) ALIVE IN THE AIR, and DID NOT YET SEE THE PHYSICAL BODY OF JESUS IN THE CLOUDS. These are the main reasons of their waiting.
I as one of the preterist minds encourage you futurist brothers and sisters to try to study and examine what the preterists believe and compare to your own to see if maybe they were wrong or you are. Be open minded and put these things always in the authority of God’s words and not in our own. Don’t be too conservative in your inherited traditions and wasting others’ works, like Corinthians.
In addition, the Bible was written prior to the saints aforetimes and by their way of thinking with God as he teaches them. Thus we the new generation today are new to this sense because we are not like them. God talked to them and faced with them and we are none of these. This book was written TO THEM according to their language and not TO US. It is only FOR OUR learning as inheritance.
The scriptures did not come in the old times by the will of man but by the Holy Ghost to the holy men. God did not talk with us like in the past so obviously we don’t know His thoughts except if we study them.
The bottom line here is: you shall know that we are living in the kingdom of God today, in the building/house not made with hands through Christ our Lord, full of grace and peace.

- Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Actually, God’s plan and purpose of all things will be fulfilled in the second coming of Christ saying;
- Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
- Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

- 1 Corinthians 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
- 1 Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
- 1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
- 1 Corinthians 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
