Meet Gary Meadows
March 19th, 1994 Gary had already been studying prophecy for 26 years and God had revealed many things to him about prophecy, but there were questions that the Lord had not yet answered. While sitting at his desk this day the Lord seemed to whisper to him, “you know John and Ezekiel had to eat the book.” “Lord, do you want me to memorize the book of Revelation?” Gary had already memorized over 58 chapters in the Bible after being a three time attendee of the Bill Gothard seminars, and at the age of 17 had been a part of a three member quiz team that took the national championship tournament over the book of St. John in 1968 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He also was a four year graduate of a Pentecostal Bible college, so he was no stranger to a good challenge. The desire to capture and know the holy writ like the “back of his hand” danced in his mind, but could he do it? Yes, he could, and did. On April 8, 1998 he finished “eating the book”, but how to retain it captivated him and that could only be accomplished by quoting the book. After 1000 repetitions and 600 of the second half of the book of Daniel the first book of this series was born. Has he stopped? No, even to this day he never tires to baptize his mind in the thought pattern of God! No, he never got a doctorate from a leading seminary, but in a sense, he got one in knowing God’s word. If you’re wanting the same old rhetoric of 1000 prophecy books, then you don’t want to read this book. But if you’re looking for something fresh, alive, exciting, different, vibrant, and 80-90% of the content, a revelation from God, the tool is in your hands right now. Be careful, beware, and be warned, this book is written from a post-trib, post-wrath, rapture view point. In other words, there is not TWO Second Comings of Jesus Christ. There is only ONE and this is the hope that Titus 2:13 thunders, and this is the hope you will learn about in this book! God was faithful to His nudging and revealed many things of which this book is just a start. Sink your spiritual teeth into this and prophecy will come alive to you as it has to Gary.
Statement of Doctrine
(Biblical Apostolic Organization Foundational Doctrine)
Doctrine is the foundation of the Church. Further, it must be taken directly from the Bible, word for word, preferable from the KJV. Also, a doctrine must be established by two or three specifically similar Scriptures. (2 Cor. 13:1). A doctrine based upon one single verse can be difficult. Relatedly, the Biblical Apostolic Organization does not accept Greek as conclusive. The OT (Jewish Tanakh) has many commandments, laws, and precepts which we shall keep when applicable to the Oneness Gentile Christianity. (See Acts 14). The Biblical Apostolic Organization accepts the OT and NT on a total basis. The basic doctrine of the Biblical Apostolic Organization is constituted by several major tenets:
1. The Biblical Apostolic Organization believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. “That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16). One must believe in the Holy Bible.
2. The Biblical Apostolic Organization is totally monotheistic (one-God) organization. That is, we believe in just one single God according to Deut. 6:4, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.” “Thou believest that there is one God, thou doest well.” (James 2:19).
3. This Biblical Apostolic Organization body holds the divine doctrine of Acts 2:1-4 and 2:38, which the APOSTLES of the LAMB laid down at the command of Jesus Christ on the day of the Pentecost:
Then Peter said, Repent, and be baptized (by total immersion) every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
4. The Biblical Apostolic Organization believes in the Bible’s laws concerning morality, and accepts it’s standard of holiness, meaning holy living. Here are two verses which express holy living, holiness:
I beseech you...by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1). Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. (Hebrews 12:1).
5. The Biblical Apostolic Organization believes in the doctrine of clerical unity. It’s preachers must have a measure of unity or there cannot be an organization. All true Oneness Apostolic ministers should want and work for unity: “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity.” (Psalm 133:1).
