Apostle Michael Petro: Blog

All the Early Church Fathers believed in what modern theologians call the “Millennial Day theory” or the “Sabbath Millennial theory.” This end time eschatology was believed and taught by the Early Church. The apostles also taught that the days of creation were a pattern of God’s timeline to reveal what He was going to do on the Earth and when the end would come. When the Day of the Lord is mentioned in Scripture, it is actually referring to the Millennial Kingdom.  If you count from the time of Adam until now, it has been six thousand biblical years, with a millennium being 1000 years. Peter wrote that a thousand years is as a day to the Lord (2 Peter 3:8). It has been six thousand years from the time of Adam, or six days. Barnabus, the disciple of Paul, tells us that after six thousand years we come to the true Sabbath, which is the Millennial Kingdom or the millennial reign of Christ. The process in which this happens and how this will take place is no longer being taught in the ...

Most Christians think they’ll be fully redeemed when they go to heaven. However, when Paul writes about the great faith hall of fame, he tells us, “And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise” (Hebrews 11:39). These fathers of the faith are in heaven but they are still waiting for the promise to come. At this moment, the church has been so asleep to the shift that is right in front of us that we could miss it if we’re not awake to what God is doing.  Apostle Paul also says in Romans that the church will be veiled to unrighteousness at the end. The apocalypse is all about the church becoming awake to what God is doing. The veiled mind is the carnal mind, and Scripture tells us that the carnal mind is at war with God (Romans 8:7). The biggest problem in the church is that people are blind and asleep to what God is doing. Part of the reason they’re asleep is because they’re suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. In a lot of ways the cu...

The Lord has been showing me bits and pieces about the two witnesses for the past few months. We’ve been prepared by the last handful of teachings to understand what the Lord is revealing now. To understand it, we need to understand the High Priesthood and the anointing. Ben Sira wrote that when the High Priest would come out of the Holy of Holies on the day of Atonement that he would shine like the sun and would make the Holy Place glorious.    To the Jews and the Early Church, the voice was God’s direct speech through an individual. This was why there was a closeness between His chosen vessels and  the people they raised up. The voice is the Lord speaking through His messengers.  The people under these men of God knew how important they were because of the message they carried.    These men were anointed by God. When David was anointed, it says the Holy Spirit came upon him (1 Sam. 16:13). Many pastors today teach that they did not have the Holy Spirit i...

This week, we had a meeting with Margaret Barker - she’s a graduate of Cambridge University and is widely known amongst theologians for her work on the Early Church Fathers. She said that without the traditions of the Early Church, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot come. The traditions that she spoke about are exactly what we have been teaching here at our ministry; the traditions speak of the secrets of the kingdom. These were mysteries that were not written down for the most part. These are teachings that the Lord gave me through visitations. I just started reading the Early Church Fathers in the last five years and have found revelations the Lord gave me twenty years ago in their writings. I can see clearly that the way the Early Church interpreted the scriptures has been lost to most churches today.   In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul took a physical event that happened in the Old Testament and revealed the spiritual meaning of it. Paul showed that the crossing of the Red Sea was symbolic o...

Right now the Lord is looking for those who are focused on what He wants to do in these end times and what He wants to do through them. While it may seem that the Lord sidesteps us at times, He is actually trying to help us understand His plan and purpose. Many Christians believe that they’ll be raptured, and just fly away one day, but that is not what the Early Church taught. That false end-time rapture eschatology can be traced back to two Jesuit priests who introduced “futurist theology” which is where the modern-day rapture theology comes from. It states that the 144,000 are literal Jews. The Word says that we are Jews inwardly (Rom. 2:28), and the Early Church taught that the 144,000 were spiritual Jews, or those who have had a circumcision of the heart.  In the end those who have false teaching will be wiped away and destroyed. The Early Church taught that there will be those who will try to ascend the mountain of God, but they’ll be unable to because of their beastly underst...

As the Lord revealed this week’s word to me, it became clear how the last few weeks of messages are very much intertwined. God is showing us so much right now as a preparation for His glory. This week’s word wasn’t complete until 4 am this morning when the Lord woke me up to put it all together.    We need to understand that we are supposed to operate as a spiritual tabernacle. The tabernacle shows us how to cross over into the next dimension. You can either be part of that crossing over or you can watch it. Paul said that the tabernacle and the sacrifices were all a shadow built by the hands of man, but the true tabernacle is built by God (Hebrews 8). The shadow is limited in that it only shows the outline, not the detail. We can only see the detailed features of that image when it becomes illuminated (through revelation). The shadow is not a bad place to start as it is a place of learning. But when we get the veils off, we get that imprint of light and the image of God being...

The church is being prepared to receive the baptism of fire. This fire will release us into something that has never been seen before and bring a shift in our minds. The apocalypse is a removal of the veil, or seeing something that has never been seen before. In Hebrews 10:20, Paul tells us that the veil is the flesh. Simply put, those who still have flesh in the way won’t be a part of this transition. We have to get rid of our fleshly desires to go into the Holy of Holies. The apocalypse is not about the end of the world - it is about the end of religion. Moses went up Mt. Sinai to receive the Torah and give it to the people. When Moses came down the mountain, he read them everything that the Lord told him and the people said, “we will do it” or they said, “I do.” The Covenant of the Torah is a marriage contract and the people understood what would happen if they were to disobey this covenant. The Lord is looking for people of the covenant, those who are keeping the marriage contract....
