Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present; it is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For which I want to read in Luke, chapter 14, verse 16 and on, where it says:
“Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our topic for this occasion is (it’s a bit of a long topic): “FILLING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE HOUSE OF GOD.”
The House of God is His Church, and God has been working to thus fill all His House with guests, with people. Throughout biblical history we have seen how God worked in the past and how the Work that He would do in this end time was also prophesied.
Now, speaking of the House of God, the House of God was represented in the tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built. The wisdom of God was manifested in those constructions, which was given to Moses and then also to king Solomon for the construction of those houses; because those houses could not – those temples could not be built and accepted by God if they were not built with God’s wisdom.
Why? Because what these men did —the prophet Moses and later the king Solomon— was nothing less than an earthly temple representing the heavenly Temple of God. And with human wisdom you cannot build a temple here on Earth representing the heavenly Temple, and containing in that earthly temple things that are type and figure of those in Heaven; therefore, the divine wisdom was given to the prophet Moses and also to the king Solomon.
And now, we have neither the tabernacle built by Moses nor the temple built by the king Solomon; although they represented the heavenly Temple of God and although God dwelt in those earthly temples, in the most holy place, upon the mercy seat, that was on the ark of the covenant.
And now, what happened in the past was something great and glorious, but now this remained as history.
And now, where will we find a temple that represents the heavenly Temple? Since the House of God is the Church of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ has been building a Temple for God, for God’s dwelling place in Holy Spirit; and that is the New Temple, the New Temple built with divine wisdom. And Christ is Power and Wisdom of God1</sup>; therefore, Christ is building that Temple from stage to stage.
Now, the House of God, the offspring of God, the sons and daughters of God, have appeared on this planet Earth from stage to stage.
Just as the earthly temple built by Solomon and the one built by Moses has an outer court, the Outer Court in the spiritual Temple of God is from Adam to Christ. The believers in God who offered to God the sacrifices for sin belong to the Outer Court of the House of God; they were believers in Christ as Christ was being reflected in the Old Testament.
And now, the Holy Place of the House of God, of the Church of God, is the stage of Christ up to the Reverend William Branham.
And then the stage of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of God, of the Church of Jesus Christ, is what pertains after the Reverend William Branham until this end time.
And now, since Christ is building, creating, a New Temple, for God to dwell in Holy Spirit in that Temple and in every person who belongs to that Temple, we find that being a temple not made of literal stones or literal wood but with human beings, as Peter says in his first letter, chapter 2… See, Peter tells us: First Peter, chapter 2, verse 4 and on, says:
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
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 (people), 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.”
This people, of which Saint Peter speaks in this passage, is the Church of Jesus Christ, made up of those redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ; and that is the House of God, the Family of God, the offspring of God. That is the House to which you belong in this time; as the redeemed by the Blood of Christ of other ages, with the messenger that God sent to them in each age, they belonged to the House of God, to the part of the House of God relevant to the time in which they lived.
Those of past ages, of the seven ages, together with the stage of the apostles, pertain to the Holy Place of the House of God. Those who lived before the First Coming of Christ belong to the Outer Court. And now, in this time we belong to the part of the Most Holy Place, which is the most important part of the House of God.
Let’s look here again: in Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 19 and on:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Here we see again that we belong to a House, to a Family, to a Temple, to an offspring: the House of God, the offspring of God, the Family of God.
We are descendants of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as individuals; and our soul comes from God, it is part of God. And that is why He, from stage to stage, from age to age, has been calling and gathering His elect, His children, His firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And now, in the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ…, as Saint Paul also tells us in his letter to the Hebrews, chapter 3, verse 5 to 6; he says:
“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, that House of God is no longer the tabernacle that Moses built nor is it the temple that Solomon built, but the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to which each of you and I also belong.
We were represented, the Church of Jesus Christ was represented in the tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that king Solomon built.
And now, a New Temple, a House, the House of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, is being created; and from age to age God creates the part pertaining to each age: He creates it, He materializes it, with human beings who are called and gathered together through the Word of the revealed Gospel, which is preached from age to age; and that is why in His House, His Church, He has placed faithful and wise servants to give them spiritual food in due time.
And now, in the House of God there is a great feast from stage to stage, from age to age, because there is spiritual food in abundance from age to age.
The faithful and wise servants, the messengers, the seven angel messengers for the seven ages and the Angel of Jesus Christ for the Age of the Cornerstone are placed in the House of God; as the apostles were also placed at the beginning of the Day of Pentecost and on, giving the Food, the Message for that stage.
And now, in chapter 24, verse 44 and on, of Matthew, it says:
“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.”
And now, since it is in the House of God that God has His children: it is in His Church that God calls and gathers His children, it is in His Church that the sons and daughters of God are born: It is there where they obtain the new birth, they are born in the Church of Jesus Christ, of the Water and the Spirit, because they receive Christ as their Savior, they wash their sins in the Blood of Christ and receive the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, and thus they are born again; and they obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and thus they obtain that heavenly body of the sixth dimension, which is a theophanic body like the theophanic body of Jesus Christ, a theophanic body like the theophanic body of the Angel of the Lord.
And now, we find that in the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, it is that the Spirit of God has been working from stage to stage, adding to His Church those who are to be saved; as it tells us… let’s see… in chapter… let’s see… When Saint Peter preached his Message, in chapter 4 he speaks to us, and chapter 2 of the book of Acts, teaches us that God added to His Church those who were to be saved. And God is the only one who can add to His Church those who are to be saved, because He is the one who is producing the new birth of the sons and daughters of God.
The person, when he is born on this planet Earth through his earthly parents, is not born as a child of God: he is born as a child of the world; that is why he receives a spirit of the world, that is, of the fifth dimension, and he receives a mortal, corruptible and temporary body; because with the fall of the human being in the Garden of Eden, the human being was deprived of the glory of God, and everyone has been deprived of the glory of God2. Therefore, it is required to be born again to obtain a theophanic, heavenly body of the sixth dimension; and thus to have the divine image, the image of God, which is that theophanic, heavenly body of the sixth dimension.
And then, for the Last Day Christ has promised to give us the likeness of God, which is the eternal, immortal and incorruptible and glorified body, equal to the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; so that we may be totally in the image and likeness of God, so that we may be persons with theophanic bodies of the sixth dimension, and eternal and glorified physical bodies, equal to the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior.
That is why Christ, the Corn of Wheat, had to fall on the ground and die —He told us in chapter 12 of John; and if the Corn of Wheat did not fall on the ground and die, then He alone would remain; and He would still be living on Earth, but alone; in other words, there would be no more people on Earth, only Him.
It is like when you have a corn of wheat: if you have that corn of wheat and you do not sow it into the ground, then only that corn of wheat remains, but you cannot see any more corns of wheat. Why? Because in order for more corns of wheat to emerge, you have to sow that corn of wheat; and then that corn of wheat is born in the form of a wheat plant; and then that wheat plant produces, bears, many corns of wheat, just like the one that was sown into the ground.
And now, Christ says: “But if the corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it bears much fruit,” many corns of wheat.
And now, Christ is in the form of His Church. The Church is the wheat plant that was born of Jesus Christ, the Corn of Wheat that was sown into the earth. On the Day of Pentecost the Corn of Wheat was born in the form of a wheat plant, it was born in the form of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And it is in the wheat plant that the fruit is carried. That is why the fruit of the Corn of Wheat that was sown in the earth is carried by the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what is the fruit? The sons and daughters of God being born in the wheat plant, being born in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Through the power of the Spirit of Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit that was in Jesus Christ, now notice, in the wheat plant the Corn of Wheat is being reproduced, Christ is being reproduced in sons and daughters of God.
And for the end time the number of the corns of wheat in the wheat plant will be completed: the number of God’s elect will be completed, the sons and daughters of God in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; in other words, the sons and daughters of God in the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ and which is the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
And when the number is completed, then Christ will come out from the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, He will take the Title Deed, the Book of Seven Seals, He will open it in Heaven, He will make His claim, and will resurrect the dead in Christ and will transform us; and then He will give us the new body, the eternal and glorified body, equal to His own body.
And thus we will be equal to Jesus Christ, the Corn of Wheat that was sown on earth, and then we will see Him in His glorified body; and we will also see each other in the glorified body that we will have, which will be young, which will represent 18 to 21 years for all eternity; it will be immortal, incorruptible, and it will be interdimensional: in other words, we will be able to pass from this earthly dimension to other dimensions.
That is why we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with Christ, to the House of our heavenly Father, to the seventh dimension, because we will have a glorified, immortal and also interdimensional body; and we will be able to pass to other dimensions with that body, and go to the Great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Now, while we are in the House of God, we are eating the spiritual food of each age. “Give us this day our daily bread,” said Christ teaching His disciples to pray3. And now the spiritual bread of the Word of God for every age, Christ has been giving it to His Church from age to age; and He has placed the faithful and wise servant, to whom He has given that spiritual food to distribute to the children of God (where?) in the House of God; it has been so from age to age.
And now, in the Age of the Cornerstone, it is the same: He gives us the spiritual bread, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message of the Word of God revealed for our time, which revolves around the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
And when all those who have to be placed in the House of God, in the Most Holy Place, in this end time, are in the House of God already, then Christ will finish His Work of Intercession in Heaven, He will resurrect the dead in Christ and He will transform us; and then we will be on Earth for 30 to 40 days with the new body and in the new body, where there will be a full manifestation of God in His Church; and there we will be adopted; for adoption is the redemption of the body4, where we will receive the new body. There Christ will also adopt His Angel Messenger of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone; and also, since He will resurrect the dead believers in Him, the messengers of the seven ages with their groups will also be adopted, and the apostles as well.
And after we are here for about 30 to 40 days, being in the new body, then we will be taken by Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, to that great feast, for which one goes but with invitation. In other words, anyone cannot say: “I want to go to that great feast of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.” The first thing is that he has to have a new, eternal and glorified body, to be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ our Savior.
And for that, Christ has a Program: By believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in His Blood and receiving His Holy Spirit, we are born again, and we obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and for the Last Day we will also obtain the eternal and glorified physical body; and then we will be dressed in the Marriage garment, we will be dressed with all the garment: with the new heavenly, theophanic body, and the new physical, eternal and glorified body.
Now, let’s see, in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 7 and on, it says:
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Here we can see that those who are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb are blessed. We can see in this passage that it is a blessing to be called and gathered in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ our Savior, in the age in which the person has to live, because he has been placed in the House of God; he has been born in the House of God and is being prepared to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father.
And now, notice, in the first call, ordained by the father of the family, let’s see, in Luke, chapter 14, it says… Chapter 14, verse 21 and on, it says:
“So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.”
And now we can see that the Church of Jesus Christ is composed mostly of simple, poor people…; although from time to time people from a high social or economic position enter, but in itself the large group is of simple people, from the middle class and the poor class.
And now, this call was made, he says:
“And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.”
And it has been done as Christ commanded during the seven stages or ages of the Church, and there is still room.
Everyone thought that everything would end when the seven ages were over, but the servant here says: “…yet there is room”</em>; for there is still a place: the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Age of the Cornerstone; because a temple cannot be a perfect temple if it does not have the most holy place, because that is the place for the manifestation of God in all His fullness. That is the place where God will be manifested in all His fullness speaking to His people.
“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges…”
Now, here he does not say “go through the squares” or “through the cities”, but “go through the roads and the hedges…” So it’s going to be simple people —mostly simple and humble people— who will be called and gathered into the House of God, and placed in the place where there was room, room for more people.
“Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.”
So this blessing of going to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, will be for these people who are called and placed in the House of God, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, we have seen where it is that there is room for this end time, for the last sons and daughters of God to be called and gathered, the last souls of God who will be on Earth in the Last Day to hear the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet calling and gathering all the elect of God (where?) in the House of God. Where in the House of God? In the Most Holy Place of the House of God, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
There is room, and that is why there is a call: the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work. That is where He calls and gathers His elect of the Last Day.
And soon the number will be completed, soon the House will be filled, the part that was left empty; and then Christ will dedicate that House: the House of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, will be dedicated by Christ to God for that full manifestation of God, for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and our transformation, and for our going to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father.
And now, we have seen how God is filling the most important part of His House: the Most Holy Place, that is, the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, in the Church of Jesus Christ, which is a spiritual Temple for the dwelling of God in Holy Spirit, all of Heaven is reflected. That is why in the House of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, all heavenly things have been materializing in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In clearer words, Jesus Christ has been and will be transferring the things of Heaven to His Church. And for the glorious Millennial Kingdom, Christ will have transferred to His Kingdom and to His Throne the things of Heaven, and then we will have the Kingdom of God manifested on Earth, operating and ruling over the human race.
That is why, notice, Christ transfers His power to His House, His Church, which is His Kingdom, and He says: “To him that overcometh will I give power over the nations, even as I have overcome…”, let’s see… “just as I have received from my Father.” Let’s read it as it is so that you will have it clear: Revelation, chapter 2, verses 26 and on, it says:
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end (that is, the one who is keeping the works of Christ until the end, the end of time), to him will I give power over the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”
You see? In the same way that Christ received that authority from the Father, He now gives it to the Overcomer; and thus He transfers that power and authority from Heaven, from the Father who received it, He transfers it to His Church.
And He also says: “To him that overcomes will I give of the hidden Manna (I will give him to eat of the hidden Manna), and will give him a little white Stone, and on the little Stone a new name written, which no man knows but he that receives it.” Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17.
And now, we find that the Church of Jesus Christ will have in the Last Day that little white Stone in His Second Coming with a new name. Notice, what is in Heaven is transferred to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then it also tells us in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God…”
The Temple of God, well, is His Church. In other words, it is not that He is going to turn him into a cement or metal column, but He is going to turn him into an important person in the House of God, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“… and I will write upon him the name of my God…”
Remember that on two columns that king Solomon ordered to be built, he wrote on them two names: on one he wrote Jachim (or Joacim or Jocín), and on the other they wrote or he wrote Boaz5.
And now, see how the type and figure is there; and now here He says: “…I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more (he shall never go out of the Temple); and I will write upon him the Name of my God, and the Name of the City of my God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from my God, and my New Name.”
Now, you see He is transferring the things of Heaven to His Church?, and therefore He will have in whom to transfer those blessings of Heaven.
The Name of God, the Eternal Name of God, He will have it written in His Church in the Overcomer; and that same one is the Name of the City of our God, and that same one is the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then He also says, in chapter 3, verse 21: “To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me on my Throne; even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His Throne.”
When Christ died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven victorious, He sat on the Throne of God in Heaven; He received all authority and power. That is why He said6: “All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth.” He received a new name and He, notice, has been ruling from the heavenly Throne.
But now, for the Last Day, He will establish the Kingdom of God on Earth; therefore, He has to transfer the things of the Throne of God to His Throne: the power, the Title Deed (which is the Book of Seven Seals), the Name of God; and He has to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth.
Therefore, Christ upon the Throne of David, that is the Throne of Jesus Christ upon which He will sit the Overcomer with Him.
See, in Luke, chapter 1, verse 30 and on, when the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary, it says:
“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
That is the Throne of which Christ speaks when He says: “To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my Throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His Throne.”
And as He on the Throne of the Father received a new name, received all power and authority over the entire Creation, over all things, He has been reigning from Heaven over the entire Creation; but now He is going to reign here on Earth during the Millennial Kingdom from His earthly Throne, which is the Throne of David.
Therefore, He will be making that transfer, of the things of Heaven and all that He has received in Heaven, He will be transferring it in the midst of His Church, and He will have all those blessings of Heaven in the midst of His Church.
And He will have a Throne here, the Throne of David, upon which He will reign; and with Him, on the Throne of David, will be the Overcomer, the Overcomer of the Last Day, which will be the faithful and wise servant in the House of God, who will be giving spiritual food in due time to all the sons and daughters of God. In the House of God, in what part of the House of God? In the Most Holy Place of the House of God, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, we can see that something great is happening in the Divine Program; let’s say, in the last 30 years; or let’s say, from the year 1959 onwards, something great has been happening in the House of God, in the Divine Program; something so and so great that when we are in the Millennial Kingdom we will fully understand it.
Everything that has been moving is enclosed in the Seventh Seal, and Christ is the one who would be carrying out the Work of the Seventh Seal. And the Reverend William Branham says that the Seventh Seal, when it begins, it will be a complete secret7</sup>; but after a certain time, well, that secret, that mystery would already be opened.
Now, you see that Christ has to transfer His power and authority and New Name, everything, for that glorious Millennial Kingdom; and He has to transfer the Kingdom of God to Earth; in other words, He has to establish the Kingdom of God here on Earth.
And the Throne of David has to be occupied. And from that Throne the Hebrew people and the whole planet Earth will be ruled: Christ will rule over the Hebrew people and over all nations.
And the Overcomer, who will be in the end time in the House of God, will receive the blessing of sitting with Christ on His Throne; and the Eternal Name of our God, the City of our God, and New Name of our Lord Jesus Christ will be written upon him. That is Christ’s promise to the Overcomer.
Now we can see the most important part of the House of God, and the important things that Christ will be doing in His House. It is in the most important part that He is carrying out the most important things.
And now we have been given to be in the House of God, where? In the most important part: in the Most Holy Place of the Temple of God, in the House of God.
And where was the Name of God in the house of God? Look, Deuteronomy, chapter 12… Let’s see if we can find… It must be chapter 12, verse 4… Chapter 12, verse 5, of Deuteronomy, it says:
“But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come.”
Notice, God, as a city and as a tribe: He would choose a tribe, and from that tribe He would choose a city. The tribe was the tribe of Judah and the city was Jerusalem. And there would be the Name of God. Why? Because the temple of God would be there, the tabernacle that Moses had built; and then, we find that Solomon built a house, and he placed the ark of the covenant in the most holy place of that temple that Solomon built.
And look here at the mystery: in Exodus, chapter 25, it tells us: chapter 25, verse 21 and on:
“And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”
Where would God be? Upon the mercy seat, and the mercy seat was on the ark of the covenant. The mercy seat is a lid, like this one on the pulpit, and the mercy seat is the lid of the ark of the covenant. And now, God would be there.
Let’s look at a little more: Leviticus, chapter 16, says:
“And the Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord, and died;
And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail (that is, do not enter into the most holy place all the time) before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.”
And now, where did God appear? He appeared in the cloud above the mercy seat, in the Pillar of Fire, and from there he spoke to Moses. He says:
“And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”
Exodus, chapter 25, verse 22. (And in Leviticus, chapter 16, verse 1 to 2, we read).
And now, why is the Name of God there, in the temple? Because God, the Angel of the Lord, is in the Temple, upon the Mercy Seat.
And when Moses asked the Angel of the Lord, in chapter 3 of Exodus, what His Name was, look at what the Angel of the Lord told him:
“…and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? (Chapter 3, verse 13 to 14, of Exodus).
And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.”
And now, the I Am (which are four consonants: YHWH, in the original) would be upon the mercy seat; and therefore, the Eternal Name of God would be there, in the tabernacle that Moses built. But in which part? In the most holy place, upon the mercy seat.
And in chapter 23 of Exodus, verse 20 to 23, it says:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
Where was the Name of God? In the Angel of the Lord; and the Angel of the Lord being upon the mercy seat, there was the Eternal Name of God.
Then also, when the high priest put on his high priest’s garments and put on his turban (which was the miter), he placed a gold leaf, a gold plate that said: “Holiness to the Lord.” There was also the Name of God: on Aaron’s forehead, on the forehead of the high priest8.
And now, you see, it was written on the forehead of the high priest on a gold leaf; and that was the only one who could enter to minister in the most holy place: the man, the priest who had the Name of God written on his forehead.
Now, you see, we have had the messengers of the different stages in the Mystical Body of Christ ministering in the Holy Place, but now it is required to minister in the Most Holy Place. That is why Christ says: “To him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he shall go no more out (he shall come out from there, never again): and I will write upon him the Name of my God, and the Name of the city of my God.”
Who was it that had the Name of God written on him? The high priest had it written on his forehead. And now Christ as High Priest, when He ascended to Heaven, He received a new name. See?
And now, for the Last Day, He promises to write His New Name and Eternal Name of God and the City of our God upon the Overcomer. Why? Because it is going to be ministered in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ.
And everything that happened in the tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, was the reflection of what would happen in Heaven with Christ entering the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple, and then what would happen in the House of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, in the Last Day, as well as the things that already happened in the different ages.
Now, we are living in the greatest and most glorious time in the history of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; we are living in the greatest and most glorious time in the history of the human race, where millions of human beings will be physically restored to eternal life. And why do I say “millions of human beings”? Because I am counting the millions of different past ages.
Of our time and of the Age of the Cornerstone (the most important place in the House of God), we do not know how many there are. I wish that they are many; I wish they are millions. Now, it does not depend on what I wish: it depends on what God has determined since before the foundation of the world; and God is the one who knows the number. And when that number is completed, there will come the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.
Now, we have seen how God is filling the most important part of His House, of His Church, of His spiritual Temple, in this end time.
We have seen that the blessing has come upon us in this end time. “The lines have fallen upon us in pleasant places, and great is the inheritance that has been given us.9” We have the greatest blessing of all time.
On Sunday, God willing, I hope that He will grant me to speak to you a little more about this transfer that Christ is making in this end time; because He has been making that transfer from stage to stage, and now, at this time, He is carrying out something very, very important.
We are in a time parallel to the time that Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. But we are going to leave those other things for the next activity: Sunday morning and Sunday also from noon down, that is, in the first and second activity; and there we are going to see everything that God allows us to see. It does not matter what topic we have, let’s see if God allows us to place what was written here… there are still things here…
These little things that are here, from here I spoke to you about how God, how Christ is transferring – all these great blessings are in His Kingdom, but there are still a few more little things. I’m going to keep it here until Sunday, God willing, and we are going to see if God will allow us to talk a little bit more of this.
The topic for Sunday will be (that of the morning): “THE PROMISES FOR THE END TIME”, that is to say that all those blessings fall very well there. The afternoon activity, the topic will be: “DWELLING IN THE RESERVE OF HIS DWELLING.” So everything is also revolving around the topic we had today. So we are going to place all this with the subject of next Sunday, and we will see in more detail the great blessings that Christ is bringing from Heaven: from the Most Holy Place of Heaven to the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple; and He is filling the most important part of His House with human beings elect of God and with great blessings from Heaven, with great heavenly revelations.
If God allows us to see how He is materializing those blessings, we will see it next Sunday. Today we have seen how He is gathering in the most important place, in the most important part of His House, how He is gathering the elect of the Last Day.
That such great blessing is materializing in you and me, that great promise He made: that He will send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet and they will gather His elect10. In the Last Day. In what part of the House of God? In the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, that is, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and thus FILLING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE HOUSE OF GOD.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present; and may the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, come from the Most Holy Place of the Temple of God in Heaven to the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and come upon each of you and me too; and fill us with the knowledge of all His Program, and open our understanding and open the Scriptures, and transform us soon. May He soon complete, in His House, His Church, may He soon complete the number of His elect in His House, and may He soon resurrect the dead in Christ and transform us who are living, and take us to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.
May God bless you and keep you all.
