Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present here in Chillogallo, Quito, Ecuador. It is a great blessing 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 for this time.
For which we have the subject “The union that produces bad results.” Now, we are also going to see “The union that produces good results”… We are going to see “THE UNION THAT PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS,”and there, we will also see the union that produces bad results.
“THE UNION THAT PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS.”
In Second Corinthians, chapter 6, verses 14 to 18, it says:
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
God, when He created the human being, He brought him from the seventh dimension and placed him in a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and then He brought him to this planet Earth and placed him in a body of flesh, created by God from the dust of the earth.
And then He took from his side and took a rib, and out of it He created for him, formed for him, made Adam a companion. And Adam said1: “This is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones,” and he received her. God gave him that companion to reproduce himself.
And we find that the serpent was in the Garden of Eden, which was the most cunning, the most cunning animal of all animals; and it was, the race of the serpent, similar to the human race that God had created; and it had a spirit but had no soul, but it had a place where the soul could go; and that’s where the devil got in. And the soul of the serpent became the devil, and that’s why the first manifestation of the devil in flesh was on this planet Earth; and it was in animal flesh: in the serpent.
There were two very important people in the Garden of Eden: there was God and there was the devil. And those were God, Christ: the Tree of Life; and the devil: the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And in order to be manifested and reproduce here on Earth, those trees had to become flesh.
And the devil became flesh in the serpent to reproduce himself; and Eve joined the serpent (the devil’s instrument), to that unbeliever, who came to Eve and says to her: “So God has said, eat not of the trees of the Garden of Eden?” And Eve says: “No, what God has said is that we can eat of all the trees; but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil we cannot eat, because the day we eat we will die.” And the serpent said to her: “You shall not die, but you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.2”
Do you see that it was the manifestation of the first unbeliever here on Earth, the manifestation of the serpent, anointed by the devil, which was within the serpent? And when he spoke to Eve about the Word, what did he say to her? He told her that they would not die; and God had said that they would die if they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil3.
And through that union to unbelief: believing the devil’s lie and Eve being incredulous to what God had said, and thinking that God was not going to do as He had said, Eve by improper union brought bad results: she brought a son of unbelief, Cain.
And now see why First John tells us about Cain… First John, let’s see what he tells us, 3:12, says something we can’t ignore:
“Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”
Now notice how John says here that Cain was of the wicked one. And who is the wicked one? The devil.
Didn’t Christ say, in the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the tares are the sons of the wicked one and the one who sowed the tares is the devil?
And now, the tares as human beings or children of the wicked one, notice, it was there in Genesis where the devil through the serpent sowed the tares, in other words, the children of the wicked one here on Earth. And that’s why, when Eve then gives Adam to participate in the same thing, Eve conceives of Adam and also has a son named Abel.
And now notice, one… a son through Eve was of the wicked one, says the Bible: “Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother (Abel).”And now, Abel was not of the wicked one because Adam was not the wicked one; and Adam came from whom? From God.
And now, notice how the son of the wicked one, Cain, killed Abel; he was the first murderer there was on Earth, it was the first murder that was carried out on Earth, inspired by whom? By the devil. And it came from a son of whom? Of the devil, a son of the wicked one.
And now, notice how the words of God are being fulfilled when that happens, because in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 14 to 15, it says:
“And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
Now, just as the woman would have a seed, so would the serpent have a seed, and there would be enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.
And now, we find that Adam’s seed came through the woman, but so did the seed of the serpent; and when Abel and Cain are there, notice the enmity that there already is.
And Abel being a shepherd of sheep offered God the offering for sin, and God received it: a lamb, sacrificed for God.
Cain offered God of the fruits of the field, but the fruits of the field did not cover sin; and we find that with the fruits of the field the Sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, on Calvary’s Cross, was not being represented; however, with the sacrifice of the little lamb that Abel offered to God, he was representing, typifying, the Sacrifice of Christ the Lamb of God.
That’s why those sacrifices of the Old Testament, of these little animals, for sin, were the shadow (in other words, the type and figure) of the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross; and that’s why God accepted those sacrifices.
The first sacrifice that was made was made by God for Adam and Eve, and He gave them skins to cover their nakedness; and the last sacrifice that would be made for sin, who would make it? Also God, through His veil of flesh called Jesus, who was sacrificed on Calvary’s Cross. And that’s why from Christ until now no more sacrifices for sin are needed, because a perfect sacrifice for sin has already been made.
And now, the blood of those little animals covered sin, but sin remained in the person, but covered with the blood of those little animals and, therefore, it was covered from God’s sight.
That’s why the Hebrew people, like Noah4and other people, are called righteous; for example Lot was also called righteous5</a>; and yet they were people who made mistakes, they were people who sinned.
The Hebrew people are called a righteous people; God does not see in the Hebrew people (when they go through the wilderness), He does not see sin in the Hebrew people6</a>; however, they committed many sins, but they offered to God the sacrifice for sin: they had the high priest, who sacrificed those offerings and sacrifices for sin, and the sins (of the Hebrew people and of each one as an individual) were covered from God’s eyes; and God, when He looked at them, He did not see sin in them. That’s why they were righteous before God.
And now, notice how Abel offered to God a sacrifice of an animal for sin; and from then on, from the time of Adam until now, a sacrifice for sin has been required for the human being.
Every person needs to have the sacrifice for sin; if not, he is lost in the presence of God, and has no right to eternal life.
But now, notice, when Christ died on Calvary’s Cross the sin of those who had offered the sacrifices for sin to God, their sins were completely taken away with the Blood of Christ; but while the Blood of Christ came, they were covered with the blood of the sacrifices they offered to God.
And now, we see that when Christ resurrected, the saints of the Old Testament resurrected with Him; and when Christ ascended to Heaven, the saints of the Old Testament also ascended with Christ. And that’s why the eternal doors were opened and they entered with Christ, as it says in Psalm 24; let’s see, it is a prophetic Psalm, where it says:
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart…”
And how can a person be clean of hands and pure of heart? Well, by washing away their sins.
And for the times of the Old Testament sin could only be covered with the blood of those sacrifices they made, but in the New Testament sins are taken away with the Blood of Christ. The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin7</a>; it does not cover it, but rather, takes it away.
And now:
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.”
When Christ resurrected and the saints of Old Testament resurrected with Him, then when He ascended to Heaven 40 days after His resurrection, they went up and said: “Open your heads, O eternal doors, and the King of glory will come in.”
And inside, there in Heaven, they asked: “Who is this King of glory?”
And those who went with Christ, the saints of the Old Testament, answered: “The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle”; and they went up with Christ.
And now, for the end time in which we live, the dead in Christ will resurrect and we will be changed; and then we will go with Christ to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, after being in the eternal body, 30 to 40 days here, living in it and having a very important stage of the Divine Program; and then we will ascend to Heaven, we will be raptured, and it will be said again:
“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.”
And they will ask:
—“Who is this King of glory?”
— “The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.” In other words, YHWH, because that is the Eternal Name of God.
And there, you see, that was the way God made His Name known to Moses, when Moses wanted to know the Name.
Now, Moses heard the pronunciation, but the Hebrew people do not know how to pronounce those four consonants.
Now, we can see that for this end time God’s elect will no longer be using animal sacrifices; even the temple in Israel was taken away; therefore, neither the Hebrew people can have sacrifices, neither the Passover, nor the sacrifice of atonement on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, because they no longer have the temple to take the blood of atonement to the most holy place and place it on the mercy seat, which is the seat or chair of mercy where God was and the two golden cherubim, and in the midst of the two golden cherubim the presence of God in the light of the Shekinah.
The Hebrew people no longer have a chair or seat of mercy with the blood of atonement; therefore the Hebrew people have been suffering the divine judgment for all these years, from Christ until now, and they have been going through a terrible tribulation because they do not have the sacrifice for sin.
But there is a sacrifice for sin; and it is not in Solomon’s temple or in Moses’ temple, but it is in the Temple that Moses’ temple and Solomon’s temple represented. It is where? In the Temple that is in Heaven.
And that sacrifice for sin is the Sacrifice of Christ. He is our Atonement, the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins, and He is also our Passover8.
And now an earthly temple is not required there in Jerusalem, not even the Moses’ temple either, but God has already set in motion His Temple which is in Heaven, as a temple where the mercy of God is being manifested since Christ ascended to Heaven and placed His Blood there on the Most Holy Place, on the seat or chair of mercy, which is the Mercy Seat there in Heaven.
And now, He has been making intercession as High Priest, not of the Levitical order (of which Aaron was the first priest, high priest), but of the heavenly Order of the Temple that is in Heaven; and the Priestly Order is the Order of Melchizedek; not of Levi, not of Aaron (not of the offspring of Aaron), but of Melchizedek.
And now we can see that all the elect of God also belong to that Order, washed with the Blood of Christ, who are reconciled with God; and they are priests and kings: priests of the Temple that is in Heaven, and kings of the Kingdom of God, not of the kingdom of the gentiles.
That’s why here, although we are kings, here we are not in an earthly position of kings of the kingdom of the gentiles; but when we are in the glorious Kingdom of Christ, Millennial Kingdom, there we will be as kings and priests.
And now, we can see that the Temple that is in Heaven has been working, and God’s mercy has been coming out from there; and He has been making intercession for all the sons and daughters of God, for the heavenly Israel, and there will also be intercession for the earthly Israel, for the conversion of the Hebrew people with God.
But there is something very important, and it is that after Christ comes out of the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, that Throne of Intercession —which had the Blood of Christ, of the Sacrifice for sin, which Christ had placed there as High Priest— it will no longer be there, nor will the High Priest be there making intercession either. He will become the Judge of all the Earth, and He is also the King of kings and Lord of lords.
And the Throne of God in Heaven, which is the seat or chair of mercy while Christ is in it…; because He ascended to Heaven and sat at the right hand of God, He sat on the Throne of God, and has been making intercession there. But when He comes out of the Throne of God, He comes to claim His own throne: the Throne of David; and He comes as Judge of all the Earth. And the Throne of God in Heaven becomes a Throne of Judgment.
That’s why then lightning, voices, thunder and an earthquake come out; all of that happens when Christ is no longer there as High Priest making intercession. And this is because He will have already made intercession for all His elect and will have already completed the number of His Mystical Body of believers, in other words, of His Church.
He has called and gathered His elect from age to age, and now He calls and gathers His elect at this end time in Latin America and the Caribbean; that is, the Mystical Body of Christ will be completed with Latin American and Caribbean people.
In clearer words, of the last ones that God has mercy is the Latin American and Caribbean people, while Christ is on the Throne of Intercession; and then He will have mercy on the Hebrew people and will turn to the Hebrew people.
Now we can see this mystery that has been moving from stage to stage while Christ has been in Heaven, on the Throne of Intercession, which is the Throne of God, where He sat when He ascended to Heaven; and He also received a New Name.
Now, Christ for the end time, when He finishes making intercession for the very last elect who has to be manifested on Earth in human flesh, then the Throne of Heaven will become a Throne of Judgment.
But Christ will have His Temple; He will no longer be in the Temple that is in Heaven, but He will be in His Temple, which is His Church, manifested in all His fullness; and from that Temple, the mercy of Christ will be extended to the Hebrew people and to every nation, people and tongue, and to every person living on planet Earth for that time when Christ will leave the Throne of the Father and will come to His Church, His spiritual Temple; and He will be there, and from there mercy or judgment will be spoken for the human race.
And the divine judgment that comes out of the Throne of God in Heaven will be transmitted to the human race through the spiritual Temple of Christ, through the manifestation that Christ will have in His spiritual Temple, in His Church, through the last ministry of Christ in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.
That is the Order of the New Temple, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for when the construction of that spiritual Temple of Christ is finished.
Meanwhile, He is calling and gathering His elect and placing them in His spiritual Temple, in the construction of that spiritual Temple, for at the Last Day that Temple to be finished with human beings and to be dedicated to God, just as Moses dedicated the tabernacle to God and Solomon also dedicated the temple to God, and God came in the light of Shekinah and dwelt both in Solomon’s temple as well as He dwelt in Moses’ temple.
And where did He dwell? In the most holy place, on the ark of the covenant; and from there God spoke to the people; and that was where the atonement for sin and the reconciliation of the people with God were made.
Now we can see that for this end time the spiritual Temple of Christ will be dedicated, so that Christ may dwell in all His fullness in His Temple and be manifested in His Temple, and from His Temple to carry out the Work relevant to this end time when the dead in Christ will resurrect and we who are alive will be transformed.
Then it will be a perfect Temple, a Temple that has come to perfection and will be dedicated to God; and God will dwell in all His fullness in that Temple.
And from there, Christ will work great wonders and miracles that He has promised for the Last Day; and under the ministry of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the ministry that obtains the adoption, to continue ministering in the Last Day and fulfill every sign, wonder and miracle promised for the Last Day, which will call the attention of the Hebrew people.
That’s why the ministries of the Two Olives, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, are the ones that will be doing the signs and wonders relevant to the Last Day. And those are the ministries of Moses for the second time and Elijah for the fifth time; those are the ministries that are manifested by Christ, by the Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger at the Last Day.
Because that is the Spirit of Christ, who manifested that ministry in Elijah the Tishbite, then manifested it in Elisha in a double portion, then manifested it in John the Baptist, then manifested it in the Reverend William Branham; and He will manifest it for the fifth time in a man, anointed with the Holy Spirit, of the Last Day.
On page 449 of the book of The Sealsthe forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says:
“Now, there is only one person could fulfill that, only one Spirit that’s ever been on the earth, that I know of. Would either be… It would have to be Elijah, in his time. And it was predicted that it would be, which is nothing but the Spirit of Christ. When Christ come, He was the fullness. He was the Prophet. He was the—the God of the prophets.”
And now, notice, it was the Spirit of Christ in the prophet Elijah that was manifested and operated that ministry in the midst of the Hebrew people.
And then the Spirit of Christ came in Elisha and manifested the ministry of Elijah for the second time.
Then came the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, in John the Baptist, of whom the Archangel Gabriel said that he would be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb9</a>; and he was filled, and had the manifestation of the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit operating the ministry of Elijah for the third time.
And then came the Holy Spirit manifested in the Reverend William Branham, operating the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time.
And for the Last Day the ministry of Elijah will come for the fifth time, which will be the Holy Spirit operating that ministry of Elijah for the fifth time; in other words, the Holy Spirit will come in a man of the end time, which appears in Revelation, chapter 7, which is the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God; and the Seal of the living God is the Holy Spirit anointing that man with the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time.
Page 399 of the book of The Sealsin Spanish, in question number 11, Reverend William Branham was asked10:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth, in the days of Ahab,or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?
(The answer was):
I’m kind of inclined… Now let me say it this way. And I hope the tape, the brethren on the tapes, will understand this. I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit.”
A man of what time? Of this time. Not a man of two thousand years ago, not a man of three thousand years ago either, but a man of this time, that is, a man who is living in flesh and blood in this end time.
“…Because,when Elijah had gone up (when he left on a chariot of fire) and Elisha saw the sons of the prophets, they said, see, he says, ‘Does not… on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did, see.”
Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit that was in Elijah, and the Holy Spirit came in Elisha and operated Elijah’s ministry in a double ministerial portion.
And for the Last Day, the same Holy Spirit that has been in Elijah, in Elisha, in John the Baptist and in the Reverend William Branham operating those ministries, will be in the Last Day manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger operating the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time; and in that messenger, there will be a double ministerial portion being manifested by the Holy Spirit, because the ministry of Moses will also be manifested in that Angel Messenger.
It will be the Holy Spirit Himself operating the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Moses. And the ministry of Jesus will also be manifested in that prophet, because it is the same spirit: the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit operating the ministry of Elijah, the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Jesus. He can operate all the ministries He wants because He owns all the ministries.
He operated all those ministries in all the prophets of the Old Testament, and then He was in Jesus Christ manifested in all His fullness. Therefore, the Spirit who had operated all those ministries of the past was in Jesus.
That’s why some people thought Jesus was Elijah, others thought Jesus was Jeremiah, others thought Jesus was John the Baptist, others thought Jesus was one of the prophets, and so on. It is because under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ worked as the Spirit of Christ had worked through the prophets of the Old Testament.
And now, when He multiplied the loaves and fishes, well, anyone could think, say: “This seems to be Moses, because Moses gave quails to the Hebrew people in the wilderness and also gave them bread, manna in the wilderness; and now this one is giving us fish and giving us bread.” They could also say (others could say): “No, it could be Elijah, because Elijah multiplied the food of the widow, the flour.” Another could say: “No, it could be Elisha, who also blessed a woman and received a blessing from God.” Others could say: “No, this must be John the Baptist; because John the Baptist called the people ‘generation of vipers,’ and now Jesus is also saying the same thing.”
And so on and so forth they could say: “No, no, this must be him.” And when they saw Him crying (Jesus), some could say: “This must be Jeremiah.” But He was none other than our beloved Savior Jesus Christ, in whom was the Holy Spirit manifested in all His fullness.
And now, for the Last Day the adoption of all the sons and daughters of God will come and the adoption of the ministry of the Angel of Jesus Christ, which is the ministry of Christ manifested in His Angel, who is placed in the Age of the Cornerstone to minister; and the stage will come when the Angel of Jesus Christ will be adopted and the ministry that the Holy Spirit is operating in His Angel. And that’s why that is the ministry for the gentile Church as well as for the Hebrew people, and also for all those who will live in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
And with that ministry, the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea11</a>; because through the teaching that ministry brings through His manifestation in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, the divine revelation relevant to the seventh millennium (in other words, the Dispensation of the Kingdom) is given, brought to the Church of Jesus Christ; and from the Church of Jesus Christ it will extend to the Hebrew people and to all nations. It is with this Message that all the elect of God are also called and gathered.
Now, just as Saint Paul teaches us not to make yokes – unequal yokes with unbelievers, in what is human…; for this is that believers, young people, when they fall in love, they must fall in love with believers too, so that God’s blessing may be upon them, and it may be of blessing to them and to all human beings who will be around those people’s lives.
Unbelievers uniting with believers, or believers uniting with unbelievers, the result is bad.
The result that Eve obtained was bad; and the result that Eve obtained brought death to the human race and every disease and every problem that the human race has; and brought the first murderer, who was Cain.
Then, when the sons of God, who are the descendants of Adam, in Genesis, chapter 5 and 6… Let’s see, chapter 6 of Genesis says:
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose (them).”
The sons of men here are the descendants of Cain, and the sons of God here are the descendants of Adam.
Adam had Seth after Abel had died, who left no seed, no children; but now Seth did reproduce and had children, and they began to multiply. And the first son of Seth, Enos, notice, the Scripture says that after this son was born to Seth… It says, chapter 4, verse 25 to 26:
“And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.”
And now, these descendants of Seth are called “the sons of God,” and the descendants of Cain are called “the sons of men.”
And that union was only of benefit to the sons of men, in other words, the offspring of Cain, but for the sons of God —who come through Adam, and Adam through Seth; and Seth, who came from Adam12—, for the sons of God (the offspring of Seth) it was not of benefit.
There, the blood of the sons of men was mixed more and more with the blood of the sons of God; and it benefited, the sons of men benefited, that is, the offspring of Cain, but the offspring of Seth and all the other children that Adam had were harmed. Why? Because by means of that mixture…
Notice, human beings… Adam could live forever before, but because of that mixture that there was in the Garden of Eden the human race fell to death; and then, through this union of the sons of God with the sons or daughters of men, we find that the human being, who had already become mortal because of sin… Notice, Seth, let’s see how many years he lived…
Adam lived 930 years, and died. Seth lived 912 years, and died. Enos, Seth’s son, lived 905 years, and died. In other words, in chapter 5 of Genesis, there is all this history of the years they lived.
Notice, Adam had Seth when he was 130, he conceived Seth. A man at the age of 130 today, where is he? His physical body is well asleep under the ground or somewhere else where he has been taken.
But now, Adam is still young; he lived 930 years after… after, you see, he became mortal after sin, but notice, 930 years. In other words, 130 years is how much, we would say?, around a seventh part of 930 years, more or less; and then he was in a seventh part of his earthly and mortal life.
Then Seth, when he conceived Enos, look how old he was:
“And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos.”
Today, a person who at the age of 100 conceives a child, well, they say: “That old man conceived a child.” But now, look, Seth lived 912 years, so at 105 he was still in a ninth part of his life; he was a young man.
Now, normally a person lives from 70 to 80 years. Let’s say, a person who lives 70 years or 80 years…; 80 years, one eighth of his life – the eighth part of his life, how much would it be? 10 years.
In other words, Seth here, at 105 years old, was like a young man of about 10 years of age; not in height, but in time, because he still had 807 years left to die.
Now, notice, we find that this amount of years reached Lamech, who lived 777 and died. And then Noah lived how long? Noah lived 600 (let’s see how many years, let’s see at how many years Noah died)… The flood came when Noah was 600 years old. So Noah, let’s see where we find his age. In Genesis, chapter 9, verse 28 to 29, it says:
“And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.”
No matter how long a person lived, in the end he had to die. He could not reach 1000 years, because 1000 years before God is one day, and God had said that the day man sinned or be sinful, that day he would die13</a>; so he could not reach 1000 years. That’s why the one who lived the longest, which was Methuselah, lived 969 years; but he also died.
And now, of that offspring of Adam, already mortal, the last who lived longer, the last was Noah, who lived 950 years, but he also died.
Then comes the post-diluvian generation, and the most that lived after Noah was Shem (let’s see) [Genesis 11:10]:
“These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters(that is, he lived 500 years after he conceived Arphaxad, and he conceived sons and daughters).”
And his life ended there; and he had, when he conceived Arphaxad, he was 100 years old; and 100 years plus 500 years is 600 years.
Now notice that Noah’s son, Shem, lived 350 years less than Noah; and 350 years less than Noah is a long time. And then Arphaxad, Shem’s son (it says):
“And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters(and 403 years plus 35 years is 438 years).”
Now see how the life of the human being has been shortening more and more, the life of this offspring of Adam through Seth. And now, it continues to shorten:
“And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.”
And notice, Salah died of how many years? Salah was 433 years old, because 30 years plus 403 years is 433 years.
Then Eber lived a little longer, he lived 464 years; but after that, look:
“And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg…”
I’m reading in Genesis, chapter 11, verse 17 says:
“And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.”
And 430 years plus 34 years is 464 years. But now look at Peleg, it says:
“And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.”
And 209 years plus 30 years is 239 years, then his life was cut off, there almost in half, or half of what his father Eber had; and from there, their age continues to decrease.
And if you continue reading throughout the Bible, you will find that people’s age continued to decrease.
See, and Nahor, Terah’s father lived 148 years, then Terah lived a certain number of years. And of Abraham it is said that he lived about 175 years; let’s see where the time that Abraham lived is…
And now, for the generation in which we live, a person who lives 175 years, that’s a champion. But notice, before Abraham and before Noah, well, they lived 800 and 900 years (and nine hundred and some years); but notice, because of sin and the mixture of the races, of the race of the children of God with the race of the children of men, who are the offspring of the wicked one, the offspring of Cain, and therefore the offspring of the wicked one through the serpent’s deception of Eve…
Now, notice, the life of the human being has been shortened; and in the blood of human beings we have a mixture that is negative for the human being; there are the different genes which are harmful for the human being.
And science has already been discovering the different genes. For example, those who cause this disease or this other disease, and so on; and they can determine through a blood test, in a child, what that child may suffer from, what disease he may suffer from later on, because there he has the genes of the different diseases, because it is there in the blood; and notice how even the life of diseases is in the blood.
And now, science says that if they can get that gene out from there, then the person will not have that disease. There they have also found the gene that produces old age; if they can get it out, then the human being can solve quite a few problems of his life; but God will solve that.
You know what? That God has already given us a new blood: the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, who cleanses us from all sin!; and with the transformation of our bodies and the resurrection of the dead in Christ, we will have a new blood in that new body, which will not have those genes of disease or old age, no gene of death, but everything will be of life. That is the Blood of Jesus Christ. It is from that Blood that we come from, which we have received.
And now, notice, it cleanses us from all sin; it takes away sin, it disintegrates it. And now, we in the new body will not have the problems that we have in this body; but while we are in this body we make good use of time: serving our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, working in His Work and being faithful to Him. And how can we be faithful to Him? Being faithful to His Word, following His teachings for us.
And now, just as Saint Paul teaches us that no unequal yoke can be made with infidels, let us now see that womenin the Bible represent churches. Therefore, the Church that was born on the Day of Pentecost was represented in Eve, as it is also represented in Sarah and is also represented in Mary; but when she falls, she can no longer carry the representation of Mary until she reaches this end time, where Mary is type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, you see, just as the serpent deceived Eve, Saint Paul says14: “I fear that your senses may be misled or deceived.”
And now the Church that was born on the Day of Pentecost, then lost the first love back in the stage or Ephesian Age, and then we find her fallen (as it happened to Eve). She lost her first love to Christ by uniting incorrectly, and then fell in love with the world; and there in Nicaea we find her fallen like Eve.
But Christ has been carrying out a Work from age to age, and sons and daughters of God have been coming through the manifestation of Christ through the messenger of each age.
And for this end time the Church is represented in the virgin Mary, who received the Word and said15: “Let it be done according to Your Word”, to bring what? The Son of God, Jesus Christ, give birth to a son by divine creation.
And for this end time Christ brings sons and daughters of God through the new birth in and through His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in theophanic bodies; and soon He will also bring sons and daughters of God in immortal, eternal and incorruptible, glorified physical bodies; because for this end time Christ will resurrect the dead in Christ in eternal bodies and will transform us who are alive; and that will be through a Church-Virgin that has ascended to the Age of the Cornerstone.
It is in that Church where there will be that manifestation of sons and daughters of God. First, they are born in the spiritual realm, obtaining the new birth by believing in Christ and receiving Him as their Savior; and thus be born, by receiving the Spirit of Christ, be born in the sixth dimension and obtain the theophanic body. But for this end time they will also obtain the eternal body, and it is like being born on this Earth in a new body; and this will be in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, it is the Church of Jesus Christ that will bring those sons and daughters of God with eternal bodies.
And now, His Church cannot unite to anything but Christ, to whom she is united to bring sons and daughters of God in this Last Day, and to bring the sons and daughters of God in the resurrection of the dead in Christ and in the transformation of us who are alive.
That Church-Virgin is the one that will bring that manifestation of sons and daughters of God in this end time; and that will be the adoption of all the sons and daughters of God, the redemption of the physical body, that is, the transformation of our body, where we will obtain the eternal body. And when we are with the eternal body all problems will be over, and we will be with Christ for the Millennium and for all eternity.
It’s very important to never lose your first love. Problems at home are always the reason for the loss of that first love. The person cannot let that first love fade away, because then problems come if one of the two loses the first love; as it happened to the Church in the Ephesian Age, of which Christ says she had lost her first love, her love for Christ; and that’s why she joined the world and thus produced the many problems that exist in Christianity and the many interpretations, and many hybrid products in the midst of Christianity, in other words, many Cain.
Well, we’ve seen the problems you get when you make a bad union, an incorrect union; but when you make a correct union then the product is great blessings for the people and for the whole Mystical Body of Jesus Christ.
A bad union brings bad results, a good union brings good results; and when you have a good union then be careful not to let that first love fade away. It must always be maintained, so that the blessing in that good union that has been made may not be lost, and thank God for that great blessing.
But those who have not made a good union and his or her companion is not a believer, then he or she already got into that problem; or it was that neither of the two was a believer and now one of the two came to Christ; well, pray for the other person, so that God may have mercy of him as well; do not go and ignore him or her and tell them that you no longer love them, but rather, love them and say to them: “I am praying for you, so that God may also bless you.” And give them to read the Word of God and read the messages, so that God may open their understanding and bless them too.
If the other person consents to live with the person, Saint Paul says that is fine; but if he does not want to live with the person, then what can be done.
Now, Saint Paul says16: “Never separate; do not separate so that the devil will not tempt either of you.” Because if you separate, the devil will bring another person to the man, and he will bring another man to the woman who will attract her attention; and there comes the temptation, both for the woman and for the man, and then they find themselves in trouble. Saint Paul says: “Only, if they separate, let it be for prayer (and something important in the things of God that requires it).”
Now, Saint Paul also teaches us, that if they separate because they have problems and they have separated, that they should know that they cannot marry again. Saint Paul says that the woman, if she separates or if she receives a letter of divorce, she cannot remarry; our brother Branham also said that.
And that’s why Saint Paul and our brother Branham also teach that it is better to solve problems; and if the person no longer feels the same love, then it was that the first love faded, and then we must ask God to help them to get warm, in that heat of that first love, and that first love is restored and always live happily.
Now, those who have separated or married and remarried, have a problem before God; but we pray to God that God may have mercy on those people and with His Blood cleanse them of those errors and sins, and be restored, and thus, the home that they have formed may be blessed by God and raise their children in peace and never again make those mistakes. It is good to understand these things in order to know the seriousness of marriage, so that you do not have problems with God.
Now, we can see that all this is taught in the Bible, even Jesus Christ Himself spoke of marriage and all these things.
Now, I love all people and I do not criticize any person even if he has those kind of problems, but I tell them to seek God and pray to God for God to have mercy on you and your companion and also on your children; and to forgive them and bless them and help them to always walk forward, because no problem of these can erase the name of God’s elect from the Lamb’s Book of Life. But do not get into trouble, but rather, do things according to the Word of God; and do not make unequal yokes so that problems are avoided.
Even when uniting to a yoke who is a believer and sometimes there are problems, how will it be with unbelievers? But remember, if you are already married to an unbeliever then pray for that person, treat him well or treat her well, so that God may bless you and you may be happy in the marriage and you may raise your children in the fear of God, always guiding your children in the things of God.
A union that produces bad results, you already know which it is or which they are; but THE UNION THAT PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS is the union that is according to the Word of God, to the Divine Laws; and that is so for us as individuals and it is also so in the spiritual field for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
A UNION THAT PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS. That is the union that we all want to have, both humanly and spiritually; and the union with Christ, of each person, is what produces good results.
And for our time, just as there was a manifestation of Christ in the Holy Spirit through the messenger in each age…; and the union with Christ, in that manifestation in each age, produced good results, because it brought forth the sons and daughters of God of each of those ages.
And for this end time Christ will be in His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, manifested in His Angel Messenger; and the union with Christ in His final manifestation will also produce good results: it will produce the age relevant to this time and the children of that Age of the Cornerstone, and it will bring forth the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, and the rapture or catching away of the elect of God to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Look at all the good benefits that union with Christ will produce in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
It has been a great blessing for me to be with you testifying to you of these two kinds of unions: of the union that produces bad results and of THE UNION THAT PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS.
And may God help us all to always do things according to the Word of God, in order to obtain good results.
May God continue to bless you all, may God keep you, and prosper you spiritually and materially, and fill you with His Divine Love; and may the love for Christ be that first love all the days of our life; that first love which we have felt for Christ remain without ever fading away, may that first love for Christ remain in our age, the Age of the Cornerstone, and in our dispensation.
And on Christ’s side, that love will always remain towards us, and on my side towards you, that first love will also remain; and on my side for Christ, too; and on your side? also.
You know what? That our age, the Age of the Cornerstone, is the Age of Divine Love; and that divine love will never fade away, that divine love will remain in and with the Fire of the Spirit of God manifested every day of our earthly life in this earthly body and then in the new body, in the glorified body.
Being the Age of Divine Love, notice, it is the age where the fire of love for Christ will not be quenched in the sons and daughters of God of the Age of the Cornerstone and of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; because we have joined Christ and that produces the good results that He has promised for all of us.
Well, may God continue to bless you all, may God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention. I leave Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with us to continue and finish our part on this occasion.
May God bless you and keep you all.
“THE UNION THAT PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS.”
