Signs and Right Division. Mark 16:15-20 (KJV) says “15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” The five signs in Mark 16 are part of the Acts period and no longer apply after Acts 28:28 because the reason for their existence is no longer applicable. Why? Signs were for Isreal. When Isreal was put on hold and a new calling revealed, the signs that werefor Israel ceased. In the Mystery, there are other unique signs specific to that administration and they are identified in the seven books Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. The lesson on 08-11-2002 studies the signs of the previous administration in their context. Click here to listen now.
