CHAPTER 26: THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

CHAPTER 26: THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

Because the teachers of the Doctrine of the OTW cannot explain the every day life of the resurrected saints, they teach a doctrine I will call the Conspiracy of Silence as part of the plan of God which falsely claims to be administered by Jesus.

To answer the problem of the saints having NO impact upon the church the Doctrine of the OTW answers the issue with the use of secrecy. The OTW teaches the saints were hidden by God, just as Jesus was hidden from the people in John 8:59 :

John 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

IF today's congregations are true to their normal curiosity, each of the teachers of OTW will be asked what the resurrected saint's life was like after the resurrection? These teachers will then compel the listeners to believe in a church conspiracy of secrecy. The term is never used in the bible, but the concept is taught nonetheless.

Faithful believers are asked to acknowledge that the Worthies willingly accepted their uncelebrated role in the Church of Christ. Doctrine prescribes that listeners should recognize the OTW character's passive humility in his absence from Scripture. As a result, they were able to attend early reign church meetings in a low-key manner. According to the Doctrine of the OTW, we are expected to believe the resurrected’s shouting and singing of their victory in Jesus would have been minimal.

Those who teach and have taught the Doctrine of the OTW expect their congregation to believe that these historical leaders of the past, our hero’s of the Nation of Israel and Kingdom of God, would remain unacknowledged and hidden by every church. Their presence at a service was not to be acknowledged by any established saints and any new saints who were advised by the established church members that the secrecy of the resurrected saints was for everyone's protection!

The doctrine teaches that the Worthies and their fellow members of the church understood the negative impact their previous lives would have had on the church.

In the event that a church had openly advertised Worthies, former leaders of the nation would have become more famous for the resurrection of Worthies than for the resurrection of Jesus or for saving grace.

Also some teachers of the OTW Doctrine explain that the secret identities of the worthies were kept divinely hidden from anyone NOT a member of the church.

This secrecy became the unspoken rule Code of Silence conducted by God, through Jesus, including the twelve Apostles and the entire Church of Jesus Christ by way of a sort of trickle down effect.

The OTW doctrine teaches that this conspiracy was supposedly planned and explained by Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration to Moses and Elias.

Luke 9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

Luke 9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

The teachers suggest that after Jesus' resurrection he then resurrected Moses and Elias and the five hundred of 1 Corinthians 15:6:

1 Corinthians 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

According to the OTW doctrine, when Jesus was forty days after his resurrection, Moses and Elias helped Jesus to explain the plan of secrecy to the resurrected saints and disciples.

The secrecy was to give time for the OTW to reach perfection and to be in the First Resurrection without distraction. It would also save the OTW from unwanted constant scrutiny and persecution by the Pharisees, Scribes, Romans and the Jews.

In the Doctrine, it is taught that the church provided hidden places for the saints to live and worship so that they could eventually attain perfection.

Those who had attained perfection would wait for their catching away in the First Resurrection. The rest of their lives would be spent awaiting the Second Resurrection if they had not yet reached perfection.

The doctrine contends that the Pharisees, Scribes and Romans were obviously blinded to the actual resurrection of the saints in Matthew 27. The teachers of the OTW gave no Pharisee, Scribe or Roman the intelligence nor curiosity to notice anything about who the resurrected may have included. None of these leaders knew anything about the actual resurrection. The doctrine teaches that the Pharisees and Scribes seem unaware of the resurrection of their most prominent ancestors and religious leaders being alive and present in Jerusalem.

How could the church keep Abraham, Noah, Moses or Elijah the prophet a secret, when the whole nation of Israel were still looking for Elijah himself to appear before the coming of the real Messiah to pronounce their redeemer? How could the church expect to keep a resurrected John the Baptist silent?

If true, how could 68 (most likely more than 68) of truly the most passionate figures of the Old Testament standby…without a reaction…when hearing of or perhaps witnessing themselves…the testimony of Steven and his death by stoning, keep silent without saying a single word of praise or protest?

If the 500 hundred who were allegedly resurrected could have been any of King David’s 37 strong and loyal men among their number, how could the church keep any of those 37 fighting men quiet and in secret? Would anyone expect one of David’s mighty men to bow down to a Roman soldier or a Pharisee or the mob that killed Steven?

For Israel’s leaders to have no knowledge of these saints, nor the Roman leaders who occupied the so-called holy city, would have to have been an act of the Hand of God.

OTW teachers teach that indeed the Hand of God keeps these saints secret since no clear answers have been provided for the absence of scripture. This makes the conspiracy of secrecy legitimate. The ungodly leaders would have had to have the Holy Ghost blind them to the heroes of old walking in Jerusalem after being resurrected from the dead.

Which leads to this logical question: How could the resurrected saints have become perfected within a conspiracy of silence?

For the overcomer, fire baptism represents the most challenging part of total baptism. Persecution and interaction with the wicked, the unsaved, and the ungodly are the parts of Fire Baptism that perfect a saint. In a hidden church environment, ungodly behavior is very limited and the testing of the OTW would have been minimal.

This is contrary to the process of perfection taught by the writers of the New Testament. It would be impossible for the OTW to endure and overcome their testing and trials without sin-rich involvement.

However, contrary to the teachers of the OTW, the Bible teaches that Jewish and Roman leaders were indeed watching and persecuting the church. The church was constantly sought after and found and persecution was everywhere.

In addition to this, there is the non-notable feature of mass resurrected saints, which is their disappearance! They did...fall off the edge of the earth and were never mentioned again! The saints of Matthew 27:52-53 DISAPPEARED from the day of their resurrection and were never mentioned again.

Sadly their miracle was quickly forgotten by the church and by those who saw them entering the holy city.

If their account is true, and they were actually biblical heroes who were resurrected, it is one of the greatest supernatural phenomena to have ever happened on the face of the earth or in biblical history. Yet, biblically, it was so small and unimportant that the other writers of the Four Gospels never mentioned it.

This surely is unimaginable? How these highly favored past leaders of Israel, with their previous experiences serving God, coupled with Jesus Christ and his miracles and the additional knowledge of Jesus as their Messiah, then receiving Water, Holy Ghost and Fire Baptisms keep themselves hidden after hearing the commandments that Jesus gave..to preach his gospel to the entire planet as a secret is..inconceivable!

The amount of subterfuge suggested by the Doctrine of the OTW to provide for these hidden people would have had to be contingent upon a miraculous act of God. Keeping a Conspiracy of Silence among the church and keeping the resurrected saints themselves in secret should not be regarded as plausible, The enormity of such a Conspiracy of Silence would have been staggering.
