The Savior of Each Age and the New Name

Ecc 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
Every activity under heaven has a time for its own purpose to be achieved. In the same way our faith also has a time for its own goal to be accomplished. Do you know what is the goal of our faith?
1 Pe 1:8-9 For you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
As you see, it is the salvation of our souls, eternal life. God divided 6,000 years of His ministry into three ages for our salvation. He gave us a different name of the Savior for each age. Let's confirm this in the Bible.
Mt 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus commanded us to baptize all nations in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Surely you know that the name of the Father is Jehovah and the name of the Son is Jesus. What is the name of the Holy Spirit then? Do you know what it is? The Bible definitely says that the Holy Spirit has His own name. We will find out. These three names are not to be used at the same period of time. Each name has its own period of time when it is supposed to be called as the name of the Savior. Finally you will come to understand through the Bible that God divided 6,000 years of His ministry into three ages and He gave us a different name of the Savior for each age.


(Savior)Let's go back in time. Who was the Savior in the time of Jesus? (Jesus) Was there any other Savior then? (No) Then what happened to those who had strongly believed in Jehovah the Father before Jesus? Were they saved or not? To understand this, we should learn that there is time limitation for each age. Jehovah is Jesus Himself. When Jesus appeared, it changed from the age of the Father to the age of the Son. The name of the Savior also changed from Jehovah to Jesus. People who had believed in Jehovah the Father were saved before Jesus came to this world. Likewise, only those who believed in Jesus' name were saved after Jesus appeared. The Bible says the age of the Holy Spirit will come in the last days. Jesus is the Holy Spirit Himself. When the Holy Spirit appears, it changes from the age of the Son to the age of the Holy Spirit. The name of the Savior also changes from Jesus to Jesus' new name. People who have believed in Jesus' name will be saved before the Holy Spirit appears. Likewise, after the Holy Spirit appears, only those who believe in Him, Jesus' new name, will be saved.
