THE GREAT REVELATION OF THE ONE TRUE NAME OF GOD AND THE REAL JESUS IN THE HOLY BIBLE
About the late Teacher Eraño Martin Evangelista (1943-2015)
To the reader: This article provides a brief biography of the late Teacher Eraño Martin Evangelista. It offers glimpses into his life and teachings, drawing from his biography originally shared on the website www.thename.ph while he was still with us. However, this article goes a step further by exploring his final words spoken during his last Bible study session. During this significant moment, Teacher Evangelista humbly expressed his heartfelt request to God for eternal rest after ensuring that all the vital Bible revelations that He (God) wanted humanity to know, were uploaded on the website. These profound words shed light on the significance and authenticity of his God-given Bible revelations, positioning him as God's final prophet and affirming that his teachings on the website convey God's true and ultimate message to humanity.
May we share a brief story of the man whom God had chosen to be the prophet like Moses, as written in Deuteronomy 18:18-19.
The late Teacher Eraño Martin Evangelista was born on July 27, 1943. He grew up in Pandacan, a district of the City of Manila, Philippines.
Before his ‘calling,’ his friends knew him as ‘Erdy.’ He was a simple man, known for his witty remarks and lighthearted demeanor, which he used to lighten tense moments. Despite this more jovial side, he was also endowed with keen insight and a discerning mind.
While his achievements in formal schooling may be modest by most standards, Teacher Evangelista developed a consuming interest and aptitude for scientific experimentation and technology, leading to a career as an inventor.
He holds the patent for AERONOX, an internationally certified anti-pollution and fuel-saving device for internal combustion engines. This invention gained recognition and awards within the local Philippine science and technology circles, and its potential effectiveness was demonstrated through local media coverage, showcasing its importance, particularly in the face of the urgent need for global action to mitigate air pollution.
Regarding his religious affiliation, he was a former member of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), a Philippine-based denomination. He has not been exposed to reading and studying the Holy Bible because unauthorized members are discouraged from doing so.
An unexpected event in his home in Las Piñas City, a suburb of Metro Manila, set him on a new path. On July 16, 1990, while hosting a luncheon for a group of friends that included some foreigners, he was subjected to an experience that forever changed his life.
On that fateful day, Teacher Evangelista went into his bedroom to relax as his wife was preparing to serve the visitors lunch.
According to Teacher Evangelista, while inside their bedroom, a bright light from above suddenly filled the room, and visions appeared to him: that of a strong earthquake that was to take place later that day and which was to claim many lives; a war in the Middle East; and a major volcanic eruption that would happen in the Philippines.
During lunch, Elmore Sumaraga, a visiting foreigner, noticed Teacher Evangelista’s unusual quietness and began to inquire about what was going on and what he could do to help.
Teacher Evangelista then straightforwardly described what happened, “Well, I saw a vision just now. Today there will be a strong earthquake. Many will die.”
Elmore replied: “Are you dreaming?”
Erdy: “No. It’s a vision.”
The visitors were quite astonished by what they had heard from Teacher Evangelista, for they knew him as a practical man who does not believe in so-called “visions.” Teacher Evangelista carried on and related the details of the vision.
At about 3:45 P.M., shortly after the guests had left, everything shook gently, then violently after a few seconds.
At that moment, his son Nomer said: “Hey Daddy, here’s the earthquake you predicted!” Teacher Evangelista replied that it is a strong one, and it will claim many lives.
Later that day, radio and TV stations confirmed the earthquake (In Baguio City, north of Manila) and the initial casualty counts. As days passed, news accounts continued to report the widespread destruction wrought by the quake and the many lives lost, just as Teacher Evangelista saw in the vision.
On August 1, 1990, while having lunch with his Kuwaiti friend, Jashim Al-Sherida, at a restaurant in Parañaque City, another suburb of Metro Manila, Teacher Evangelista narrated his vision about the coming war in the Middle East that would involve the invasion of Kuwait.
Jashim did not take him seriously, believing that that was impossible then.
Teacher Evangelista also mentioned how Jashim even invited him to visit Kuwait to prove his point, saying, “You know, Brother, it’s easier to get inside Paradise than to enter Kuwait.”
Kuwait is oil-rich, is not in conflict with any country, and is strict with foreign visitors. No one would have ever thought it would be an object of a military invasion.
The following day, Iraq attacked and invaded Kuwait. Teacher Evangelista recounts how Jashim gave him a phone call and exclaimed, “What you said to me has happened. My country was invaded by Iraqi soldiers.”
Teacher Evangelista replied: “Yes, and now you yourself cannot even enter Kuwait.”
“What happens next?” His Kuwaiti friend was anxious.
“It’s going to be a brief war. I have seen it in my vision,” Maestro Evangelista appeased his friend.
As it turned out, the war ended briefly when the United States and other allied forces defeated the Iraqi army in February 1991.
June 1991 was another fateful day for Maestro Evangelista as his vision of a major volcanic eruption became a reality.
Mt. Pinatubo, a volcano located in the province of Zambales, Island of Luzon, in the northern Philippines, though long dormant for about five hundred years, suddenly erupted with very little forewarning. The eruption was so massive and intense that the atmosphere was hazy for several days, with volcanic ash falling hundreds of kilometers.
The said event became the turning point of Teacher Evangelista's life. He felt so perplexed that the visions he had seen all happened in such a short period.
He then sought Divine guidance. Teacher Evangelista remembered how he prayed: “Lord God, if You want me to do something, please do not talk to me through visions. People will say I’ve completely lost my mind, for I am the only one who can see it. Instead, please communicate through your Holy Bible. That way, I can make people read the message you want to convey to them.”
Since then, God has communicated to him through the scriptures. God revealed to him His actual Name, the real identity of Jesus, and His (God’s) true teachings to prepare him for his task as the “prophet like Moses” as written in Deuteronomy 18:18-19.
Teacher Evangelista did not study the scriptures. It was God who revealed the messages to him at the right time, including the specific verses in the books of the Holy Bible to read and the words to say to educate people about His great Name.
On August 22, 2005, Maestro (Teacher) Evangelista had his Bible revelations uploaded to the website www.thename.ph so that people worldwide may finally know and acknowledge God’s actual Name and follow His teachings.
Soon after that, with the help of his associates, continued to upload the rest of his Bible revelations to the said website until he passed away in 2015.
Teacher Evangelista emphasized that God did not send him to build a church or promote a new religion.
He said, “God gave man free will. It is up to the readers to decide whether they accept the Bible revelations. What is essential for me is that I was able to deliver God’s message.”
In one of his last Bible study sessions, Teacher Evangelista said how he prayed to God, saying:
“O Lord God, I humbly request that once I deliver all the messages that you wanted people to know about as written in the Bible, please grant me the blessing of eternal peace.”
Teacher Evangelista peacefully passed away on October 26, 2015, almost a month after having his associates record and upload his final Bible revelation in www.thename.ph
By having the world’s people know God's true Name and teachings in the Bible via the said website, he fulfilled his task as God’s last true prophet and messenger (the prophet like Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18-19). Everyone now can freely access such knowledge about God.
Once all of mankind unites in acknowledging God’s actual Name, and in being as one in following God’s true teachings, they can free themselves from the curse brought by the false doctrines they were once made to believe and can now live under God’s blessing (Deuteronomy 11:26-28). Our world will be one great garden of Eden. It will usher in an era of peace, prosperity, and righteousness.
