The precursor

Besides being announced by the prophets, the coming of the Messiah is prepared by the figure of the precursor; the last verses of Malachi book bring the message: “I will send you the prophet Elias before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes” (Malachi c.4 v.5). Yet in the first passages of the New Testament, John the Baptist appears: “In those days, John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near’. This is the one of whom the prophet Isaiah spoke when he said: ‘The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, make his paths straight’…” (Matthew c.3 v.1-3).

Christ himself recognized in John the Baptist the Elias that was to come: “For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John came; and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elias who is to come. Let anyone with ears to hear listen” (Matthew c.11 v.13-15). But why would GOD have allowed him to be decapitated? INRI CRISTO says that John the Baptist received from the ALMIGHTY the gift to recognize him as the Messiah – a gift bestowed upon few – and for such reason he could not inculcate the doubt, mainly when he sent two of his disciples to ask: “Are you the one that is to come, or are we to wait for another?” (Matthew c.11 v.3). And for insisting on keeping a parallel kingdom, John the Baptist remained orphan of the divine protection.

Nevertheless, the precursor’s mission has not vanished along the time. Now, preceding the return of the Messiah, the precursor, John the Baptist, fulfilled his role again. This turn, for many decades along his existence, Alziro Abraão Elias David Zarur, or simply Alziro Zarur, systematically announced the coming of the promised one, in Globo Radio (Rio de Janeiro) and in many radio programs throughout Brazil: “Jesus is coming back! Jesus is coming back!”. He disincarnated on Oct 21st 1979, soon after INRI CRISTO, in September of the same year, had the revelation of his identity in Santiago of Chile. Alziro Zarur founded the basis of LBV (Legion of the Good-Will), however his successor, José de Paiva Netto, deviated from the original purpose to which his work were destined for.

LBV adhered to the mercantilism of faith and charity. In the name of Jesus, millions of reais are collected every year under the pretext of helping children, elders and needy families in philanthropic works. Nevertheless, LBV has already responded process for crime of undue appropriation, illegal remuneration of the directors, accumulation of patrimony and deviation of resources to its religious arm, “Religião de DEUS” (“GOD’s Religion”). According to countless denouncements, the “president for life in irrevocable instance”, Paiva Netto, makes use of the resources to keep in luxury. LBV has already had the certificate of beneficent entity revoked for four years, playing one of the main scandals of the Brazilian philanthropy (as broadly reported the newspaper O Globo in March/2001; the denouncements were so grave as to compel LBV to organize an army of young people to remove from Brasilia’s news-stands all the copies of the mentioned newspaper). Although LBV’s juridical advisors have found a loophole in the law to clear its past, this does not annul the truthfulness of the occurred facts. Behold one more wolf disguised under sheep skin (Matthew c.7 v.15; c.24 v.5 and 24).
