A
Holy
Place:
The
Iglesia
Ni
Cristo
(Church
of
Christ)
Museum
and
Gallery
was
originally
used
as
a
place
of
worship
and
was
the
first
local
congregation
of
the
Church.
It
is
the
location
where
Brother
Felix
Y.
Manalo,
the
last
messenger
in
these
few
days
(Rev.
7:1-3;
Isaiah
41:14;
Isaiah
46:11),
first
preached
about
the
fulfillment
of
the
biblical
prophecies
regarding
the
reemergence
of
the
Church
Of
Christ
in
the
Far
East.
Apostasy
is
a
biblical
fact.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
Himself
made
pronouncement
that
the
apostasy
will
take
place
in
the
first
century
Church
Of
Christ.
This
is
what
He
said
in
Matthew
24:9-11:
“Then
you
will
be
handed
over
to
be
persecuted
and
put
to
death,
and
you
will
be
hated
by
all
nations
because
of
me.
At
that
time
many
will
turn
away
from
the
faith
and
will
betray
and
hate
each
other,
and
many
false
prophets
will
appear
and
deceive
many
people."
“This
promise
is
for
you
.
It
is
also
for
your
children
and
for
the
people
that
are
far
away.
It
is
for
every
person
that
the
Lord
our
God
calls
to
himself.”
(Acts
2:39)
Where
is
this
“far
away”
place
mentioned
in
the
prophecy
of
Apostle
Peter
which
will
be
the
origin
of
Christ’s
“other
sheep”
(John
10:16)?
In
a
related
prophecy,
this
is
what
we
could
read:
“From
the
far
east
will
I
bring
your
offspring,
and
from
the
far
west
I
will
gather
you.”
(Isaiah
43:5)
The
“far
away”
place
that
Christ’s
“other
sheep”
will
came
from
is
the
“far
east”
mentioned
in
Isaiah’s
prophecy.
The
fulfillment
of
this
biblical
prophecy
was
the
emergence
of
the
Church
Of
Christ
(Iglesia
Ni
Cristo)
in
the
Philippines.
The
region
where
the
Philippines
is
located
is
called
“Far
East”:
“The
Philippines
were
Spain’s
share
of
the
first
colonizing
movement
in
the
Far
East.”

Preston,
and
Anderson,

R.

History.

States

Forces
Institute,

p.

The
Iglesia
Ni
Cristo
was
registered
in
the
Philippine
government
on
July
27,
1914.
This
was
the
official
date
of
the
establishment
of
the
Church
Of
Christ
in
the
Philippines.
This
was
also
the
same
time
when
the
First
World
War
broke
out.
“The
first
great
campaign
on
the
southeastern
battle
grounds
of
the
Great
War
began
on
July
27,
1914,
when
the
Austrian
troops
undertook
their
first
invasion
of
Serbia.”

Ed.
The
Story
of
the
Great
War,
History
of
the
European
War

Sources,

II,
p.
923.)
Thus,
the
emergence
of
the
Iglesia
Ni
Cristo
in
the
Philippines
in
1914
(Matt.
24:6-8)
was
the
fulfillment
of
the
biblical
prophecies
regarding
the
emergence
of
Christ’s
“other
sheep,”
or
the
reemergence
of
the
Church
Of
Christ.
