The Trajectory of the Construction of God’s Temple

Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are in different nations, ministers and their congregations.

May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let’s read in First Corinthians chapter 3, Paul the Apostle says, starting from verse 9 to 17:

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

“THE TRAJECTORY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF GOD’S TEMPLE.”

We always find the Temple of God in different times; for example, we find throughout history, from Genesis to Revelation, that sacrifices would be offered to God, by the men of God pertaining to each time, who would teach the people the way of God, they made known the Eternal God, His Program for that time, and what had to be carried out at that time.

There are different stages or dispensations from Genesis to Revelation. We have seven dispensations, which are: the Dispensation of Innocence, and its messenger was Adam; then the Dispensation of Conscience, and its messenger was Seth; then the Dispensation of Human Government (the third dispensation), and its messenger was the Prophet Noah, who built the ark by Divine Ordinance, which represents Christ; the ark represents Christ, who is the Ark of Salvation for the soul of every believer in Christ.

Then the fourth dispensation was the Dispensation of Promise, and Abraham was its messenger or the messenger of that fourth dispensation; then we go on to the [sixth] dispensation, and its messenger was the Lord Jesus Christ, the Dispensation of Grace is the sixth dispensation.

And the seventh dispensation is the Dispensation of the Kingdom, where the Messiah the Prince will be King of kings and Lord of lords, who will carry out His Claiming Work over everything He has redeemed with His Blood, and He will take His Church to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and after three and a half years in Heaven, He will return to Earth with His Church to begin the Millennial Kingdom; for which He will carry out a work to take the Kingdom or establish His Kingdom on this Earth.

There are seven dispensations. The seventh is the one that covers the Millennium; the sixth is the one that covers the different stages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Her trajectory, a trajectory through which that spiritual Temple has been built, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just like in the time of Moses, a tabernacle was built, in which God dwelt there in the most holy place of that tabernacle.

Then, later on, in the time of the kings, at the beginning, while David was king, he felt in his heart the desire, he desired to build a temple for God. The desire was correct because the Divine Thought of a temple was caught by the soul, the heart of David, through the Spirit of God that was in him; he had the revelation that a temple for God had to be built in Jerusalem, where he saw the Angel of God with the sword in His hand, and where David made a sacrifice to God, where he asked for forgiveness for his sin and the sin of the people, and the Angel stopped destroying Jerusalem.¹

And there David wanted to build a temple to God later on; but God told him that since he had shed too much blood as warrior and leader of his army or group of mighty men…² who fought because they realized, they understood, they grasped—by Divine Revelation—that David was the man anointed to be king over Israel.

David, a king-prophet with both consciences together, because he was a prophet. That was God’s beloved, David: ‘beloved,’ beloved of God. He was none other than God’s Anointed with the Spirit of God, for the Scripture says that the Spirit of God would come upon him; that is why he could stand before the bear, the lion, and Goliath as well; because when the Spirit of God came upon him, then he didn’t have limitations in terms of what God did through him.

He was like Samson. Samson had no strength of himself, it was the Spirit of God working in and through Samson.³

We find that Solomon was the one chosen by God for the construction of the temple. When the temple was built and dedicated to God, the Presence of God in the Pillar of Fire entered into the temple and rested upon the mercy seat,⁴ between the two cherubims of gold, where the blood of the sin offering was taken, the blood with which the high priest interceded for the people, asking forgiveness for the people’s sins.

And by that blood being offered to God, that meant that for the people’s sins (for which the people had to die, each person had to die), an animal had died in their place. It was reflecting what would take place in the Coming of the Messiah, upon whom would be placed the sin of Israel and of all those written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, all the sins of the world.

The Scripture says that God put in Him the sins of us all, the Scripture says that He was made sin for us;⁵ in other words, He took all the sins and therefore, He had to die. Of which He said in Saint John, chapter 12, verse 24: “Unless the Corn of Wheat falls into the ground and dies, It abides alone; but if It falls into the ground and dies, It brings forth much fruit.”

Because He, as the Corn of Wheat, like a wheat grain that is sown and dies: a little wheat plant sprouts; and the life that was in that wheat grain is the one that comes forth in a wheat plant; and inside that wheat plant is that life (which represents the Holy Spirit), so that Christ, the Corn of Wheat, through that wheat plant (which is the Church), may reproduce Himself in many wheat grains, many sons and daughters of God; because He is the Son of God, and the Son of God reproduces Himself in what? In sons and daughters of God.

And now the Church is the second Eve and Christ is the Second Adam, to reproduce Himself and form the Household of God, to form the Family, the seed of the Second Adam; and that is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ made up of all the believers in Christ who from stage to stage have been put in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as living stones that appear from age to age.

First Peter chapter 2 tells us, verse 4 and on:

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone…”

In other words, Christ is a living Stone, meaning, a Stone-Man; He is the Cornerstone that the builders, religious leaders, rejected in His First Coming; which was written and which God had determined so that the Work of Redemption could be carried out; that is why Christ said on Calvary’s Cross: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”⁶

Therefore, Israel is forgiven; and thus, no one should reject Israel for what happened two thousand years ago with the death of Christ there in Jerusalem. It was all in the Divine Program for the preservation of the life of Israel and of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which would come forth on the day of Pentecost; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ would come to be a new human Temple, just like Christ is a human Temple where the fullness of God dwelt, and dwells eternally.

Remember chapter 2 of Saint John, verses 15 to 22? Where Christ says… verses 18 and on, says:

“Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

But he spake of the temple of his body.

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.”

Now notice how Christ identifies His body as a human Temple.

That is why Saint Paul later on, in First Corinthians chapter 3, and also chapter 6 of First Corinthians, he says… Chapter 6, verse 19:

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price,” (meaning, with the price of the Blood of Christ), “therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

Now, Saint Paul identifies each believer in Christ as a human temple where the Spirit of God dwells, because wherever the Spirit of God dwells, that is always identified as a temple. If they are a people, those are a temple-people of God because God is dwelling among those people; and Saint Paul says the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a Temple.

In the passage we read of [First Corinthians] chapter 3, verse 16 and on, it says:

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

And now, each believer in Christ is a spiritual human temple of God, dwelling in Holy Spirit in the person; and because they form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, then the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is—as a mystical Body of believers—a Temple as well. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a Temple.

It says: “Ye also, as lively stones…” First Peter, chapter 2. Let’s continue… we already read verse 4 a few moments ago, verse 5 goes on to say:

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

There we have the words of the Apostle Peter regarding all the believers in Christ and Christ, represented in stones. Christ is the Cornerstone and His Church is made up of all the believers in Christ represented in living stones, living people who form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. But the most important Stone is the Lord Jesus Christ.

And Saint Paul says in First Timothy chapter 3, verse 14 and on, 14 to 16:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”

And now, the Church of the living God is the House of God; the House of God, in other words, the Temple of God, where God dwells in Holy Spirit since the day of Pentecost. It is God’s House of the New Covenant, the House of God under the New Covenant, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, in Hebrews chapter 3, verse 1 to 6, it says:

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus…”

In other words, Christ Jesus is the Apostle and High Priest, High Priest of the heavenly Temple, where He is High Priest interceding with His own Blood in the Most Holy Place, upon the Mercy Seat which is in Heaven, which is the Intercessory Place.

“Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”

And now, the House of God upon which God has put Jesus Christ as a Son over His House, is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, made up of all the believers in Christ.

Paul the Apostle gives us more information about this when he tells us in Ephesians chapter 2, verses 12 and on, he says:

“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh,” (to them that were nigh: to the Jews; and to them which were far off: to the Gentiles).

“For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God…”

Who are members of the Household of God? The born-again believers in Christ, who form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, who form the Temple of God, who form the Household of God, that is, the House of God, the seed of God; because like it says: “of the Household of God,” as [His] children we are members of the Household of God, and that is why we can say: “Our Father which art in Heaven, hollowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. And Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.”⁷

The born-again believers in Christ are the sons and daughters of God who form the Household of God, the House of God, the Temple of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is a spiritual Temple formed by living stones, meaning, people who are believers in Christ, who have received Him as their only and sufficient Savior.

And now, it is important for each believer in Christ to know that he is a member of the Household of God and that he is a citizen, a fellow citizen with the saints. It says:

“And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

In whom all the building,” (meaning, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is a spiritual Temple, a spiritual building), “fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord…”

As a building is being built, the building grows. If the blueprint shows that it will have twenty or thirty floors or levels, you only see it drawn or written in what they use as the model that the architect made in coordination with the engineer or engineers, and according to what the owner wanted; but what is there must be solidified, made a reality, by building that building. If it’s made of wood, with wood; if it’s made of concrete, with concrete; if it’s made with stones, well, with stones; and they lay the foundation.

And the foundation of this Temple, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, is Christ and the apostles. The foundation has already been laid two thousand years ago; and then it grows, from stage to stage, from age to age. As the ages pass the construction of the Temple of God grows.

That is why Saint Paul says: “He who builds thereupon…” meaning, because you build up; you build on top the foundation, and then you continue building on top of the first floor, the second, the third… of the first age, of the second age, of the third, of the fourth, of the fifth… but everything must be according to the foundation. No one can lay another foundation, no one can start something different.

And that construction continues to grow until the end time; and since It is a Temple, then it has an Outer Court, a Holy Place, and a Most Holy Place.

The Outer Court pertains to the time of Jesus Christ and before Jesus Christ; but especially of Jesus Christ; because the outer court was where the sacrifice was carried out, and Christ was sacrificed in the Outer Court; in other words, it pertains to the sacrifice that would be carried out in the outer court, there in the temple that Solomon built and the temple or tabernacle that Moses built; all those sacrifices represented the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross.

Therefore, we find Christ on this Earth, this Earth as the Outer Court, where the Sacrifice of Christ would be carried out to cleanse us from all sin, and to preserve the life of His Church and also of Israel.

Then the Holy Place pertains to the seven stages of the Church, which, although it happens here on Earth, people have not realized what has been happening because it is happening in the spiritual realm.

Therefore, there is intervention of the sixth dimension in the Holy Place, where the candlestick with seven lamps is; and on those lamps there is a burning wick that gives light in the Holy Place.

The candlestick represents the seven stages or ages of the Church in Her trajectory; and the lights on each lamp or each bowl: each bowl represents each age, and each burning wick represents each messenger on fire with the Holy Spirit; and the oil in the bowl or lamp there, on the candlestick, represents—the oil represents the Holy Spirit there.

In Zechariah chapter 4, we find the two olive trees that empty golden oil out of themselves, on the bowl that feeds the different lamps; and the two olive trees, as the Angel tells Zechariah… Zechariah asks the Angel:

—“What is the meaning of these two olive trees and these two olive branches that empty the golden oil out of themselves?”

The Angel tells him:

—“Do you not know what these are?”

Zechariah tells Him:

—“No, I don’t know.”

The Angel tells him:

—“These are the Two Anointed Ones that stand by the Presence of God.”

And then, in Revelation chapter 11, those Two Olive Trees and two lamps appear (Revelation chapter 11).

Therefore, they must first appear in the spiritual Temple of Christ, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the Last Day; and then they will also have to do with Israel, according to Revelation chapter 11. And it is the same ministry of Revelation chapter 7, the Angel who comes with the Seal of the living God, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.

In Revelation chapter 11, it says, verse 1 and on:

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

These witnesses are the two what? They are the Two Olive Trees and the Two Candlesticks standing before the God of the Earth; these are the ministries of Moses and Elijah repeating at the Last Day. And they will repeat for Israel in the time of the second part of the seventieth week that is left to be fulfilled for them, which pertains to three and a half years; because in the days of Jesus, the ministry of Jesus was in the first three and a half years of the seventieth week, and in the midst of the seventieth week the Messiah was cut off, according to Daniel chapter 9, verses 21 to 27; and after about forty years, thirty-eight years, nearly forty years, the temple was destroyed, as it says right there in that prophecy of Daniel chapter 9, verse 21 to 27.

In other words, first the Messiah would be cut off, and not for Himself. After the sixty-nine (69) weeks; that is, sixty-two (62) weeks… Seven (7) weeks plus sixty-two (62) weeks is sixty-nine (69) weeks of years; which are four hundred and eighty-six (486) and a half years.

There are three and a half years left for the seventieth week to be completed, and thus, for the seventy weeks of Daniel to be completed; which will be completed with the three and a half years of the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah; the Two Olive Trees, the Two Anointed Ones who stand before the Presence of God.

And now, in the temple Solomon built, he put two giant cherubims of olive wood and he covered them with gold, there in the most holy place, in addition to the two smaller cherubims of gold that were upon the ark of the covenant, upon the mercy seat, made of one piece.⁸

As time passes, and since the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the House of God, the Temple of God under the New Covenant, we find that as the different stages have passed, the Ark of the Covenant, which is Christ, has been moving from age to age; the messenger of each age has been moving the Ark to the relevant place as an age; and with him are the ministers that God has put to work hand in hand with him in his age.

But the Ark of the Covenant must reach the Most Holy Place; and that pertains to the end time, to the part where the seven stages or ages of the Holy Place have already ended; the seven ages have had their messengers and the work pertaining to each age has been carried out. And from where will the Ark of the Covenant be taken to be passed on to the Most Holy Place?

Just as each messenger passed It from one age to another age (the relevant one), at the Last Day It is taken from the seventh age (where the Word was) and passed on to the Most Holy Place; for which, at the Last Day there must be a ministry that can enter into the Most Holy Place; because the other ministries, of past ages, none of them could enter into the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, because that Most Holy Place hadn’t been built yet.

Each stage is built by the Holy Spirit, using the messenger of each age. Through the messenger of each age, He calls the living stones to form that age of the spiritual Temple of Christ; that is why in each stage we must turn a corner, we must pass from one age to another; and we must also turn a corner from one dispensation to another.

That is why you find Rev. William Branham saying: “We are turning a corner.”⁹And not everyone knows how to turn a corner. The Holy Spirit is always the One that cuts the stones to form the Church, that spiritual Temple; and therefore, He does it through the messenger of each age, because through the prophets is how God has always cut His people; and that is why the Scripture tells us to look unto the Rock from which we have been hewn or cut,¹⁰ that is what He said to Israel and it is the same for the believers in Christ.

We have been cut from the Rock, which is Christ, the Rock that the builders rejected, which has become the Cornerstone.¹¹ Just like the wheat grains of the Wheat Plant, the Church, have come from where? From Christ, who is that Corn of Wheat that was sown into the ground, that died; and from there then the Church, the Wheat Plant, appeared, came forth on the day of Pentecost, to bring forth many sons and daughters of God to the Kingdom of God, many wheat grains.

And now, each time a change of dispensation takes place, we have been turning a corner. And we can say to those who ask: “Well, when and where will the Coming of Christ to His Church at the Last Day be? It will be at the Last Day. When will it be? At the turn of the corner, at the turn or pass from one dispensation to another dispensation; because the Coming of the Lord is at the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium; and in the seventh millennium is where the Dispensation of the Kingdom overlaps with the Dispensation of Grace, the seventh dispensation overlaps with the sixth dispensation, the Dispensation of Grace.

There, in and for the introduction of the Dispensation of Grace, came Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Christ), and fully introduced the Dispensation of Grace, as the Messenger of the Dispensation of Grace, the sixth dispensational messenger. At that time, they had to turn the corner from the Dispensation of Law to the Dispensation of Grace.

At this end time, we turn the corner from the Dispensation of Grace to the Dispensation of the Kingdom, where all the promises for the Last Day are, where the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet is, where it is promised that the Thunders will utter their Voices according to Revelation chapter 10, and they will make known the mystery that was spoken but which John could not write because he was forbidden to write the symbols of what he was told.

That is to be made known, fulfilled and made known, at this end time. And what the Thunders will make known will be the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of Christ to His Church; which is the greatest mystery that caused silence in Heaven (in Revelation chapter 8), when the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven.

And when will all of this be? At the turn of the corner. Only those who will have turned the corner will see it, understand it. That is why Reverend William Branham talked so much about: “We are turning a corner,” in other words, passing from one dispensation to another dispensation.

As a forerunner, he is announcing what is going to happen, and that is why he speaks as if it were already happening, because the forerunner is already there, who is announcing there the things that will happen after him; and the Dispensation of the Kingdom started to gradually overlap with the Dispensation of Grace there; but in the end, after the overlap is finished, the Dispensation of the Kingdom continues on its own, which will usher in the Millennial Kingdom.

There, in that overlap, is where the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet that calls and gathers the elect of the Last Day sounds; He cuts them with the prophetic Word, the Holy Spirit through the Message of the Last Day, and He cuts those living stones to put them in His people, His Church, His temple, not in the part of the Holy Place nor in the Outer Court anymore, but to form out of those living stones the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, where the Ark of the Covenant is placed, which is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Word.

And that is where God’s Presence will be at the Last Day; because God’s Presence has been moving from age to age, just as it moved among the Hebrew people in the wilderness, from one place to another, accompanying the people.

And in the trajectory of God’s people of the New Covenant, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Presence of God, God through His Holy Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, has been moving from age to age, and feeding His people with the hidden Manna of God’s revealed Word for each age.

And just like the priests brought the ark of the covenant, the high priest and his sons… And to reach the holy place they had to go through the outer court, and to get to the most holy place they had to go through the holy place: that pertains to the seven ages of the Church; and from there It moved from one stage to another in the Holy Place; but from there It must be taken to the Most Holy Place, which is built out of living stones at the Last Day.

And the Stone cut out without hands, Christ in Holy Spirit, will be there among His Church; that is where He will manifest His glory at the Last Day, in the Most Holy Place, among those living stones; and from there will come the Message of the Last Day for His Church, who form His spiritual Temple, and (also) for those who slept in past ages, who are always listening, from Paradise, the sixth dimension, they can see here, and they are seeing the different stages that the Church goes through. They see and hear and understand everything that is spoken.

And now, in that stage is where there will be the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, and the Great Trumpet, represented—the Message represented in the trumpet that is sounded in the Feast of the Trumpets of Leviticus chapter 23, verses 23 to 25, to gather Israel, to gather 144,000 elect, 12,000 of each tribe (and 12,000 of each tribe, times 12 tribes, is 144,000.)

It is important to know these things, because there, in the Most Holy Place, is also where the ministry of the Two Olive Trees will appear, the ministry of Moses and Elijah to Israel, which will also be the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet; because the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 and on, is Moses and Elijah, two prophets; and what will be the Seventh Trumpet to Israel, will be the Seventh Seal to the Church.

The Seventh Seal to the Church is the Coming of the Lord to His Church; and the Seventh Trumpet to Israel is, or are, the Two Olive Trees, the Two Anointed Ones who stand before the Presence of God. So, there is a blessing for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Temple of God, and for Israel, the people of God, the firstborn people of God. And the Church is the people of the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life under the New Covenant.

We have been seeing the trajectory of the construction of the Temple of God, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ under the New Covenant; and now it is important to know where we are; because we are where the promised Word for this time will be quickened, will be brought to life by the Holy Spirit as it is being spoken; and as the people start receiving It, It starts becoming flesh in the people, and that is how they start becoming the Word made flesh (each living stone, each son and daughter of God); just like the promised Word for each age was made flesh in those who received Christ as their Savior and formed the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the age in which they lived with the messenger of their age. They were the living Word: the messenger, and then It was made flesh in the people who received It, and they received that Word; and they were the living Word, made flesh in the age in which they were given to live; and those are the ones from past ages who will rise at the Last Day.

And those who are alive at the Last Day will be the ones in whom the promised Word for the Last Day will have been made flesh. They will be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. They will be living in the most glorious stage of all, in the stage of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is the stage of the Cornerstone Age; because Christ is the Cornerstone; and therefore, at the Last Day, where Christ will fulfill His Coming, His Coming as the Cornerstone is automatically also the Age of the Cornerstone where the elect of the Last Day will be.

Now, we know throughout the history of the construction of this spiritual Temple, the Temple of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, all these stages that the Church has gone through as It is built to be a holy Temple in the Lord.

And all these people are children of God, they are the Family of God, sons and daughters of God, and therefore, they are a royal priesthood, descendants of Melchizedek, the High Priest, who is Christ. They are kings too, because they are children of the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Prince Messiah, they are children of the eternal God, the King of the universe; and therefore, as kings, they will reign with the Messiah on this Earth in the Millennium and for all eternity. They are none other than the members of the Household of God, God’s people of the New Covenant.

In the trajectory of the construction of the Temple of God, those who belong to this end time are the most blessed people of all times. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof, the Scripture says.¹²

It’s because, at the Last Day, just like it was in the days of Jesus, Christ said: “Blessed are your eyes, for they see… your ears, for they hear, and your eyes, for they see; for many of the prophets and righteous men desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not [heard] them.” Therefore, blessed are your eyes (and what else?) and your ears”. That is around Saint Matthew chapter 11, verse 11 to 17 (I will verify…) Here is where the part about John the Baptist is… (It’s the 13th). Chapter 13, verse 10 and on, says:

“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.”

And then, further down, it says:

“For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

To heal also means ‘to save’: “And I should save them.” Because the healing of the soul is more important than the healing of the body. A person hears the preaching, understands the Plan of Salvation, converts, and receives the healing of the soul. But by closing their eyes so that they don’t see, and their ears so that they don’t hear, what happens then? Well, they do not receive Christ and they do not receive the healing of the soul, the salvation.

“But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”

And what were they seeing? The Coming of the Messiah. And what were they listening to? The Messiah speaking to them the Message relevant to that time; and preparing them to enter into a new dispensation, preparing them to do what? To turn a corner, to turn from the Dispensation of the Law to the Dispensation of Grace.

At the Last Day, blessed will be the elect of the Last Day who will be like in the time of Jesus; the time of Jesus was that time of the Age of the Cornerstone, because the Cornerstone was there, the Cornerstone: Jesus Christ in His First Coming; and in His Second Coming, it will be an Age of the Cornerstone again.

Back then it was the Age of the Cornerstone upon and for the Church of the Old Testament, meaning, Israel; and now, at this end time, it is the Age of the Cornerstone for the Church of the New Covenant, which has been going through different stages through the different seven ages among the Gentiles.

And now, to the Age of the Cornerstone, for the Coming of the Cornerstone, comes Jesus Christ the Savior, the Messiah, to give Her the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Remember, Christ gave them the faith to receive the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost; that is why He told them not to depart from Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holy Spirit;¹³ He was preparing them for that moment.

And at the Last Day, Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven in Revelation chapter 10, who cries as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders utter their Voices, which is the Voice of Christ as the Lion among His Church crying as when a lion roars; and thus giving Her, revealing to Her the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His Church at the Last Day, in the stage or Age of the Cornerstone, like it was back then in the First Coming of the Messiah.

Who received the spiritual transformation? Those who were prepared by the Message of Christ in those days. Christ prepared them for that glorious moment, He introduced them to a new Dispensation.

At the Last Day, for the physical transformation, typified in the spiritual transformation, it is also like that; and the Mighty Angel crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices, which is Christ among His Church, will give us the revelation of the Seventh Seal, will give us the revelation of His Coming at the Last Day.

And those who are going to be changed will receive and believe the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His Church; and they will have the faith, they will receive the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; because He comes for His Church, to change Her and take Her with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Those who died will be raised in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be changed, and we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

There in the upper room (a specific place), the Holy Spirit was poured upon 120 believers; the number didn’t have to be big: 120. And that is a Biblical number: Moses was 120 years old when he died; and likewise, you can look for the number 120, and you will find that it is a number of blessing, it is a number that also has to do with deliverance, it also has to do with the Year of Jubilee; because the 120 years of Moses represents 6,000 years from Adam to the time in which 6,000 years are completed; and after that comes the Last Day.

And how can 120 years represent 6,000 years? If you multiply 120 x 50, that should give you how much? 6,000.

It is good to consult on that, because not long ago I said: 120,000 or 124,000 + 24,000 more, I said it was 144,000 total, but it was 148,000 if I added it that way.

Hopefully we can add 24,000 more, or 12,000 more, or 24,000 more; we will leave that alone.

The elect, the remnant of Israel, are 144,000, 12,000 for each tribe, who are going to be called and gathered by the Great Voice of Trumpet, gathered by the Last Trumpet, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah calling them and gathering them at the Last Day.

“THE TRAJECTORY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF GOD’S TEMPLE.”

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is also typified in Zion. The third showdown will be on Mount Zion, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just as the first showdown was on Mount Carmel, where Elijah was;¹⁴ the second showdown was in Mount Transfiguration, where Elijah, Moses, and Jesus were;¹⁵ and the third showdown will be on Mount Zion, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the spiritual Temple of God, even if later it goes on to the literal Mount Zion, there in Israel.

And the Two Olive Trees will also be there, the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, of Moses and Elijah, and the ministry of Jesus will also be there. Those are three important ministries, which have been forerun by the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Rev. William Branham, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah in the fourth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah.

But the ministry of Elijah will be manifested for the fifth time with the ministry of Moses joining it, for the Jews; but first it will be among the Church. And the ministry of Jesus will be among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ again after the seven stages, in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ; because the Coming of Christ will be to His Church, in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, as it was in the tabernacle Moses built and the temple Solomon built, which was in the most holy place, to dwell there; and everything relevant was there: the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat were present there.

The Ark of the Covenant, which is Christ, at the Last Day, is taken to a golden stage of the Church in the construction of the Temple of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, out of living stones, believers in Christ; and that is where Christ will manifest Himself in all His fullness in the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, and a full manifestation of God’s power that will shake all the nations, the entire world.

It will be greater than what it has been on other occasions; and He will be seen manifested at the Last Day on television, through satellites, and all these things.

When they see Him coming for His Church there, that is when Israel will say: “This is the One we are waiting for;” and we’ll leave that alone there. And when the Seventh Seal is opened, you will understand much better then.

You will see an interest in Israel at the level of the highest spheres of their leaders, which will then go on to all the people, because they are seeking what God has promised for this end time.

The only thing is that they don’t know that the vision or dream that Jacob had, of a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it touched Heaven, reached Heaven, and angels were ascending and descending; and at the top was God, and He spoke to Jacob telling him that He was the God of Abraham and Isaac; and He spoke to him and told him: “I will not leave you until I have fulfilled everything I have spoken to you; and I will bring you—I will go with you, I will be with you, and I will bring you back.”

Then, when Jacob woke up, he said: “This is a dreadful place! It is none other but the House of God and gate of Heaven.”¹⁶ And that is Christ and His Church: the House of God and Gate of Heaven.

Christ is the House of God, the human Temple of God: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise It up,” (Saint John chapter 2, verses 12 to 20). And His Church is the House of God as a mystical Body of believers. The Church is the House of God: God in Spirit has been in the midst of His Church from age to age, bringing forth the new birth in millions of human beings, and putting them in His Church as living stones.

And now we find ourselves in the House of God, in the Most Holy Place, the golden stage of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone, for the Coming of the Cornerstone, the Coming of the Lord to seek His Church and take Her with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Philippians chapter 3, verses 20 to 21, says that our conversation or citizenship is heavenly and that we are waiting for the Lord to come from Heaven:

“(Because) our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”

So why are we in the spiritual Temple of Christ, His Church, in the golden stage of His Church, the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age of the Church, which is being built out of living stones? To wait for the Coming of the Lord, who will change us and will take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. As simple as that.

The most holy place is also where the rod of Aaron, the rod of the almond tree, budded, see? And it had been dead; it budded.¹⁷ That is the place of resurrection, the place of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day. It is parallel to the time of the First Coming of Christ, where the Old Testament saints rose with Him.

So, we are living in a time parallel to the days of Jesus, also to the days of Noah, and also to the days of Abraham and Lot, for Christ said: “As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the Coming of the Son of man; and as it was in the days of Noah (first the days of Noah), so shall it be in the Coming of the Son of man, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man will reveal Himself, will manifest Himself.” That is around Saint Matthew chapter 24, verses 34 to 39, and Saint Luke chapter 17.

So, we are in the most important time of all times, in the golden time of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and we are waiting for the Coming of the Lord.

The mystery of the Seventh Seal will be opened at this end time to give His Church the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and that is where Israel will recognize the Coming of the Messiah, the Coming of the One they are waiting for; they will also recognize the coming of Moses and the coming of Elijah. All of that will be happening there in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ. But let’s leave that alone for now.

And may God bless you and keep you; and until next Sunday, God willing, at next Sunday’s service, God willing.

Continue having a joyful evening filled with the blessings of Jesus Christ our Savior.
