Acts Train Station - an analogy
-as told by Mike McGlathery

Lets go to the "Acts  Train  Station".  Let me describe to you, some of  the details that you can see, as you walk out of the tick-et office and onto  the plat-form.  You see only two sets of tracks in front of you at the "Acts  Train  Station."

The near set of tracks come from the left, from as far as you can see.   But, as you look to the right, the near set of tracks have a bumper at  the end of the station, to your right where the near set of tracks come to an abrupt end.   This near set of tracks do not go past the "Acts  Train  Station."

As you look beyond the near, first set of tracks you can see the farther away, second set of tracks.  They go as far as you can see to the right.   But, as you look to the left, that farther away, second set of tracks has its beginning in front of the station, about one third of the way from the left end of the station, where Christ saved, and sent Paul the first  time.

So, as you stand on the "Acts  Train  Station" platform you can see the  two sets of tracks.  A train can come into the "Acts Train Station" on the nearer, first set of tracks.  Or else, a train can leave the station on the farther, second set of tracks.  But the two sets of tracks never merge together, or connect together, or replace one another.

You can see the sign by the nearer, first set of tracks saying, "Prophecy To The Twelve Tribes Of Israel With Twelve Apostles."   Also, you can see the sign by the farther away, second set of tracks saying, "Unprophesied Mystery To The One Body Of Christ With One Apostle, Paul."

As you listen from the platform of the "Acts  Train  Station", you hear  preaching coming from the area of the tracks.  You can hear from the  nearer, first set of tracks, the twelve apostles preaching the prophetic  message to Israel's twelve tribes about repenting from apostacy, and believing that  Jesus is their Messiah, who will bring their Kingdom from heaven to  earth.  

At the same time, coming from the farther, second set of tracks, you  can hear the one apostle, Paul, preaching the unprophesied mystery  message of salvation available by trusting Christ crucified for their  sins.  He was preaching to all people to whom he was first sent with  the revealed gospel he received of Christ in heaven.  In front of the  "Acts Train Station", at the point where the farther, second set of tracks  begin, Christ saved Paul and first sent him to preach His newly  revealed gospel of salvation to the Jew first, and also to the Greek Gentiles who blessed Israel and feared the God of Israel.  They all  were in the commonwealth of Israel.  You could hear it all from the  "Acts  Train  Station."

As we look out from the "Acts  Train  Station" platform across the  track area and examine the area more closely, we see that there is a one-way, pedestrian walkway from the closer, first set of tracks going  over to the farther, second set of tracks.  That one-way walkway only  goes from the "Prophesied Israel Train" to the "Unprophesied Mystery  Body of Christ Church Train."

Back in that temporary situation in the past, when both trains were still in the "Acts  Train  Station", those passengers in the "Unprophesied Mystery Body Of Christ Church Train" had special  instructions for their temporary situation, and they were gifted with  signs manifesting the transition occurring at that time.  They were to  attract over to their train, any willing passengers behind the front car  on the "Prophesied Israel Train."  Also, in order to avoid offending the  passengers on the "Prophesied Israel Train",  those passengers on the "Unprophesied Mystery Body of Christ Church Train", were  instructed with temporary, provisional, rules and ordinances, while  they were in the "Acts  Train  Station."  Those instructions were to  further provoke those passengers on the "Prophesied Israel Train", to  come across the one-way, pedestrian walkway to the "Unprophesied Mystery Body of Christ Church Train."

What the apostle Paul preached and wrote down in his first six  epistles, in front of the "Acts  Train  Station", was written to those who  believed, and came into the body of Christ from the commonwealth of  Israel, in front of the "Acts  Train  Station."  It had to do with the unprophesied mystery, and how they were to encourage unbelievers,  from the commonwealth of Israel back then, to trust their Messiah's  new gospel of salvation, the gospel of Christ.  Those that believed were Spirit baptized into the one heaven-bound, body of Christ.

What the twelve apostles preached and wrote, had to do with only what was prophesied for Israel's Train, on the near first set of tracks,  back to the left, and also, far past the station, in the future.  

A small part of the passengers on Israel's train, believed what their  twelve apostles preached to Israel, their gospel of the kingdom, of  repenting and believing Jesus their Messiah, who would bring Israel's  Kingdom down from Heaven.  Those who did believe the preaching  of the twelve apostles, were called out together into the front car of  the train, which was Israel's church that their King, Jesus Christ, had started while  He was on earth.  Those of Israel who believed their gospel of the  Kingdom were then gifted with signs manifesting, approving, and  confirming the transition that was occurring.  But most of Israel,  rejected the twelve apostle's preaching of the gospel of Israel's  coming Kingdom, and so they stumbled and failed to receive their King and Kingdom at that time.

Back in the age of the "Acts  Train  Station" when both trains existed,  passengers got into the "Unprophesied Mystery Body of Christ  Church Train", differently than passengers got into the "Prophesied Israel Train."  The two trains had different destinations and different  admission charges.  In fact, when contrasting the two trains, almost  everything about them was different.  Their admission charges were  different.  Their initiations were different.  Their instructions were  different. And also, they had different destinations.

Christ continues to give revelations to Paul throughout his life.   Paul's preaching and writings are continuing ever since then down the farther,  second set of tracks going to the right throughout the centuries down  to the present time.

Only the "Unprophesied Mystery Body of Christ Church Train",  leaves the "Acts  Train  Station" to the right.  As the "Mystery body of  Christ Church Train' goes down the farther track to the right, about a third of the way before the end of the "Acts  Train  Station", and just before the bumper at the end of the other set of tracks for the "Prophesied Israel Train",  the apostle Paul is sent a second time.  So he installs loud speakers on the outside of the "Mystery Body of Christ Church Train", to preach the gospel of  salvation, to all men in the regions beyond, even to those who had never blessed those on Israel's Train, even to those who had never been in  the commonwealth of Israel, and so, they had never been in the covenants  of promise, to have heard the gospel of salvation in the "Acts  Train   Station."  Then, Paul writes seven more epistles to fill up the word of  God for the perfected (completed) same body of Christ.

One of the things that has been revealed, only to the apostle Paul, is that those in the "Mystery body of Christ Church Train" will eventually reach the end of the station, and go on further.  Then it will become airborne, leaving the track, and then they will enter into Heaven, and will take up positions there in Heaven.  

Just after that event, the tracks will reappear for the "Prophesied Israel Train."  Then Israel's prophesied train itself, also will reappear, and if they  endure through tribulation, they will proceed to their final destination in the kingdom from heaven on earth.  

Now you know the events around the  "Acts  Train  Station", when it existed, and afterward.
