The Mystery of Redemption

Good afternoon, beloved brethren and friends present. It is a great privilege to be with you at this moment, to share some moments of fellowship around the Word of God, under the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION.”

God says through Saint Paul the Apostle in His Word, Ephesians chapter 4, verse 30:

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

“THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION.”

Redemption is a mystery; because notice, after the Scripture saying that Christ has redeemed us, now here it tells us about a Day of Redemption that will come. It says:

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

“THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION.”

To redeem is to “bring back to its original place.”

That is why, when the Word of God teaches us that God redeemed Israel, God redeemed them with a mighty hand, as He had promised, which we find in Exodus chapter 6, verse 6, where it says:

“Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments…”

Here… notice, it goes on to say:

“…And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord.”

Notice how here God says that He is going to redeem Israel; in other words, He is going to take them, He is going to deliver them from the bondage they are under in Egypt, and He is going to take them to the promised land, which is the place where they had lived when Jacob was living there with his children, and then they had gone to Egypt and they were put in bondage there. But now God is going to take them back to the land of Israel. That is what it means to redeem them: to bring them back to their place, where they had come from.

And now, notice how God tells us—referring to Jacob—in other passages: “Israel is My son.”¹ “I have redeemed you” or “I have redeemed him.”² And notice the way this redemption took place.

Then we find that the redemption which Christ carries out was represented in the lives of Boaz and Ruth:

• We find that Ruth decided, she made her decision (the first part);
• then we find that Ruth worked in the field of Boaz;
• and then we find that Ruth was resting;
• and then she was rewarded.

Four very important stages in the life of this young woman from Moab, whom we find is a type and figure of God’s sons and daughters, she represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ going through different stages.

And let’s see here, in Ruth’s case… (we are finding it here now, Ruth’s case).

Chapter 2. The Scripture tells us the following, in chapter 2, verse 20… Let’s read a bit here. Chapter 2, verse 1 and on, let’s read that; it says… we should even read chapter 1… let’s see here, let’s see where… Chapter 1, verse 15 and on; after the others (who were the sons’ wives) had left—the other one, who was the son’s wife:

“And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

I went out full and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.”

And chapter 2, continuing with verse 1, says:

“And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.

Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.”

Here we see her working; and then she returns to Naomi’s house. Let’s see where… verse 15 and on (to avoid reading too much), says:

“And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.

And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.

And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.”

Here we can see Ruth working in the field of Boaz.

Ruth represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which has been working from stage to stage, from age to age, in which field? In the field of our Kinsman Redeemer, in the field of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Chapter 3:

“Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.”

“Lie down until the morning.”

Here we can see both the case of redemption for each person as an individual, and also for the mystical Body of Christ.

We find that Christ has carried out His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross, and He has redeemed our souls; and by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior, and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit, He has brought forth the redemption in us as individuals, and He has given each of us a theophanic spirit, and He has put us in the Kingdom of God, in His Church; His Church, the mystical Body, which (as a mystical Body) will receive the redemption of the body at the Last Day, wherein we will obtain an eternal and glorious body.

Now, notice how the redemption of our soul has been carried out, and He has put us where? He has put us where He had put Adam before Adam came to Earth; and He has put us where? In the place Jesus Christ was before coming in flesh to Earth: He has put us in the sixth dimension, because He has given us a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.

And now, notice, we are… Although our physical body is from here, from Earth, and we are using this physical body, yet He has given us a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension. And that is where we were supposed to be before coming to Earth, but because of the fall in the garden of Eden, we find that since the fall the human being has been coming to this fallen world, and therefore, he has been coming to a world that is under the devil’s bondage; he is in the same position as the Hebrew people were in Egypt.

And now, we find that since we were in Christ before the foundation of the world, since we were in God before the foundation of the world, and then we went from the *seventh dimension (where we were in God as a Divine Attribute), we went into the sixth dimension when God made His theophanic body; and we were there in Christ.

Because Christ is the Word; and He, notice, was in the sixth dimension. “Before Abraham was, I am,”³ our beloved Lord Jesus Christ said. Before Abraham and even before Adam too. “All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.”⁴

And it says that was the true Light which enlightens every man coming into the world.⁵ And how was It coming into the world? “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”⁶ That was the way the Light of the world was coming, the Almighty God was coming, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, who made Himself His own theophanic body and also dwelt in the sixth dimension; and from within that theophanic body, He created all things.

And now He was coming into the world: the Word, which was with God and was God, and was in the beginning with God. Now He was coming to the world, to this earthly dimension, in human form.

It was the first time that God visited the human race in all His fullness in a body that He created; for we find that by God coming in all His fullness in the Person of Jesus, God the Creator of Heavens and Earth Himself was visiting the human race.

When they tell Jesus (Philip tells Jesus): “Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.” Christ tells him: “Have I been so long with you, Philip, and yet you have not known Me? Don’t you know that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?” (or vice versa), “and he that has seen Me has seen the Father?”⁷ Why? Because the Father was in His veil of flesh here on Earth, called Jesus.

We find that when God spoke about the Coming of the Messiah through the Prophet Isaiah, in chapter 7, verse 14, he said: “Behold, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, (which being interpreted is: God with us).”⁸ The Son of the virgin Mary, Jesus, was none other than Emmanuel: God with us.

And now, notice how He manifested Himself here on Earth, He had His three-and-a-half-year ministry from the time He was about twenty-nine and a half years old, until He was thirty-three years old; and when He died on Calvary’s Cross, we were also dying there; and when He went to hell, we were there with Him; and when He rose, we were also rising with Him; and when He ascended to Heaven, we were also ascending to Heaven.

And now, notice how Christ, as our Kinsman Redeemer, is our Representative; we are represented in Him. And that is why, when we have appeared here on this Earth, in a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, and we have obtained a spirit of the world, our soul must obtain a new birth.

Because the way it was born on this Earth: in a body of flesh which has come through the union of a man and a woman, among a fallen race, and also by receiving the spirit of the world, we have come to a race that is in bondage. We have appeared manifested here in bondage, but our soul is not a descendant of people in bondage: it is a descendant of God; but we have obtained a body and a spirit of the world that is a descendant of people in bondage.

And that is why God’s sons and daughters, God’s sons and daughters in their soul, notice, because they came to Earth that way, Christ says they need to be born again, born the right way, born in the way with Eternal Life; and they must be born of Water and of the Spirit.⁹ And that is why the person, every soul of God who is in a mortal, corruptible body, and who has a spirit of the world, must hear the Voice of Christ and obtain the new birth, the right birth, to live eternally.

And when a person hears the preaching of the Gospel (where he hears that Christ bore our sins and died there on Calvary’s Cross, and paid the price of our salvation, and now we have the right to Eternal Life if we are born again): every person wants Eternal Life, every person wants to live eternally; and every soul of God, because it has come from eternity, wants to return to Eternal Life.

And now, he will return to Eternal Life according to the Program of Redemption, which is why Christ died on Calvary’s Cross in His First Coming (that was the purpose of His First Coming), and He paid the price of redemption; and He has taken His Blood to Heaven, to the Temple which is in Heaven, to the Holy of Holies; and He has been ministering there as Priest after the Order of Melchizedek; because He is the Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham.¹⁰

And now, He has been making intercession in Heaven until the last elect of God comes into the mystical Body of Christ. And one comes into the mystical Body of Christ by believing in Christ as our Savior, and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how we come into the mystical Body of Christ.

And when the last one comes in, then Christ leaves the Intercessory Place and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah, to make His claim over everything He redeemed with His precious Blood.

And now, notice that with His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross in His First Coming, He carries out the Work of Redemption, so that we can obtain the new theophanic body, the one we were supposed to obtain if the human being’s fall in the garden of Eden hadn’t happened.

Before we came to this Earth, we were supposed to go to the sixth dimension, over there, Christ was supposed to give us a theophanic body there, and we were supposed to spend a period of time there, we don’t know how many years it would have been. And after that… we don’t know if it would have been seconds, days, months, years, or millennia; and after that (after being there), we would have come to Earth in a physical body created by God, created by Jesus Christ, just like a physical body was created for Adam.

Now, notice the order to come to this Earth with Eternal Life. And now, that is the order that Christ is carrying out on behalf of each one of us.

And He is taking us to the sixth dimension first: by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing away our sins, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how we receive the theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, also called: “the Angel of the Lord that encamps around them that fear Him, and delivers them.”¹¹ In other words, your theophanic spirit delivers you, and my theophanic spirit delivers me. And now, notice, it is called the Angel of the Lord.

When Saint Peter was in prison, and Christ delivered him,¹² and Saint Peter went straight to the house where they were praying for him, he knocked on the door; and a young woman named Rhoda (she heard Peter knocking on the door), she went… and we don’t know how she knew it was Peter, perhaps she had a little window on the door, which they could open.

People have that in nearly all Latin American countries, because you can’t open the door to everyone. You open the little one first, to see if you can open the big door (in case it’s a thief and you open the big door for him and he just comes in through the big door as if he owned the house, and gives the person an unexpected “move out,” or takes his most valuable possessions).

So Rhoda probably opened a little window like this, where she could look through first, and saw that it was Peter; and for gladness, she didn’t open the big door; and she went to the living room, or the place where they were praying, and she tells the people: “It’s Peter!” because they were praying for Peter, for God to deliver him, free him, so that they wouldn’t kill him.

And now, God delivered him, and he is knocking on the door, and Rhoda says that it’s Peter; and they tell her: “It’s not Peter, it is his angel.”¹³

In other words, when they said, “It is his angel,” they probably thought, “They already killed Peter, and he has come to visit us in his theophanic body,” as can happen with people who die.

At that time, we find that the people had their knowledge about the angel that every child of God has. Notice, by them saying: “It is his angel,” therefore, they knew that each believer, each Christian, has an angel, which is a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.

When Rev. William Marrion Branham went to Paradise before he went there for good, he visited them in Paradise; and they were all in bodies, but of another dimension: of the sixth dimension.¹⁴

And our Brother Branham was also there in that body of the sixth dimension, which is the body that a person receives when he believes in Christ as his Savior and receives the Spirit of Christ; that is the theophanic body the person receives, that is the Angel of the Lord that encamps around them that fear Him and delivers them.

And there, in Paradise, people neither eat, nor sleep, nor get tired; but they are eager to come back to Earth, and have a physical body that they can come into with their theophanic body.

And now, notice, since people (by believing in Christ as their Savior and receiving His Holy Spirit) have accepted the redemption of Christ… and then the redemption becomes effective in the person.

And notice, the person has to go—he has to obtain the spirit of the sixth dimension, in other words, he has to go to the sixth dimension. When he is born again, well, he is spiritually in the sixth dimension, his theophanic spirit is of the sixth dimension. In other words, a Christian is in Heaven, in the sixth dimension, and he is also on Earth in the physical body.

Didn’t Christ also speak, saying: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven,”¹⁵ and He was on Earth? How could that be understood? Notice, as for the physical part, well, He is here on Earth, but as for the inner part, well, belongs to Heaven.

Now, every child of God, notice, receives the redemption of his soul, therefore, he receives a theophanic spirit for his soul; and that theophanic spirit is a spirit of the sixth dimension, similar to the body we have here, to the physical body, but from another dimension; and that person is already a citizen of the sixth dimension, of Heaven, and that person has his name written in Heaven.

And now, that person needs a new body, because this body that we have came through the union of a man and a woman; therefore, it came the wrong way, that is why the physical body does not have Eternal Life.

Now, the Work that Christ carried out on Calvary’s Cross paid the price for our redemption, and we have the right to a physical and eternal body, and for it to be young, representing the age of eighteen to twenty-one. All of God’s elect have the right to that body; and on the Day of Redemption…

And now, notice, Saint Paul told us that we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the Day of Redemption. But, hasn’t the redemption already taken place? Christ carried out redemption; and now He would give us a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which we receive when we believe in Him as our Savior and we receive His Holy Spirit; and on the Day of Redemption, which is the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, He will give us the other body: the eternal body. And thus, the promise given here in Ephesians chapter 1, verses 13 to 14, will be fulfilled, where it says:

“In whom,” (meaning, in Christ), “ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance,” (meaning, the first part or down payment), “until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”

Now notice, we already have the first part: we have the theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension.

And now, in Romans chapter 8, verses 19 and on, it says:

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God,” (the manifestation of the sons of God with eternal bodies).

Because, although we are manifested here on Earth, we are manifested in a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, which gets sick, grows old, and later dies either of old age or an illness or accident. We have been manifested on Earth in bondage and as servants; but we will be manifested as sons and daughters of God.

Now, we are already manifested as sons and daughters of God in the sixth dimension; that is why the Scripture says that we are sitting (where?) in heavenly places; we are sitting in heavenly places, it tells us in Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3 and on; it says:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

According as he hath chosen us in him,” (where were we chosen? In Christ), “before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will…”

Now, we have been predestinated unto (what?) the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, through the second Adam. Through Jesus Christ, we are adopted; and this adoption is to be manifested at this Last Day, where we will be changed and have the new body.

Let’s continue reading in Romans chapter 8; let’s go to verse 20. Notice, we had read [verse 19]:

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”

See? “Into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” We will be delivered physically too. Because while we are in these mortal bodies, we are physically in the same situation as the rest of the world: living here in bondage, struggling and working as slaves, because the devil has the human race in bondage; and notice, human beings are in bondage here on Earth, and they don’t even have time to actually breathe in their life. There are countries where they even need to have two jobs in order to have enough money to cover their family’s expenses.

And now, notice, a person struggles and works, and struggles and works; and in the end, he dies. And that happens to the rich and to the poor too; neither the rich nor the poor can escape that.

And Christ says: “And what shall it profit a man, if shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”¹⁶ If, to top it all off, he loses his soul, what good was it for him to live on this Earth?

The human being must recognize, understand, the Program of Redemption, so that he knows that there is Eternal Life for all those who receive Christ as their Savior and come into the Program of Redemption; and the first thing they obtain is the spiritual redemption, and they obtain the new birth, and they obtain their theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and they are set in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

And then, at the Last Day, on the Day of Redemption, the Day that we will be brought back to a body with Eternal Life, all of us who are alive at this Last Day, notice, have that hope.

And every human being must understand this, so that he doesn’t live on Earth without understanding, so that he doesn’t live on Earth like animals: who don’t know where they have come from, where they are, and where they’re going; but instead he lives with the understanding of what God teaches us in His Word, and he has a hope of a better and Eternal Life, with our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, when one lives here on Earth, one is living in the kingdom of the devil, because the devil took all the kingdoms of the world when he made the human being fall in the garden of Eden. Therefore, he has been ruling the whole world, throughout these thousands of years he has been ruling the human race, holding the human race in bondage. That is why Christ said the devil is the prince of this world; and if Christ said so, that is how it is.¹⁷

But notice what it says around here (then we will continue with Romans chapter 8). Notice what it says here. Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 and on, says:

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ…”

And if they have “become,” then they weren’t so in the first place. The Scripture says of the devil that he has deceived the world, see? The devil, the prince of this world, has had the world deceived.¹⁸ But the kingdoms of the world, it says in Revelation 11, verse 15 and on:

“…Are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ,” (of His Anointed One), “and he shall reign for ever and ever.

And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”

Why did this happen? Because the atoning Blood of Christ—when Christ leaves the Intercessory Place, there is no more Blood there; and therefore, from the Throne of God comes forth the Divine Judgment for the human race, which is revealed here on Earth.

Now, let’s continue reading in Romans chapter 8. Let’s read verse 21 again, where it says:

“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”

Notice, it will be delivered from the bondage of corruption. Even the body we have is a body that is in bondage, in terms of it being a corruptible body; and if we are not changed before this body’s time is over, this body dies and corruption sets in; because when the spirit and the soul leave the person, the physical body is a dead body from that point on; because the body without the spirit is dead, just as faith without works is dead.¹⁹

Now, let’s continue reading here, it says:

“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now…”

Those earthquakes, those volcanoes, and this whole situation that we see on Earth, on planet Earth, and all these wars and everything, is [the creation] travailing in pain; because it is travailing in pain to give birth to a new Earth for the glorious Millennial Kingdom.

And through volcanoes, volcanic ash will spread into the air and then fall, and it will renew the Earth. And arid places, like deserts, will become fertile places where people will sow, and it says the desert will blossom;²⁰ that is a Divine Promise for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, there will also be places, nations, that will be vanished, removed from the Earth. Those are the ones that have been in the Gentile kingdom, in its different stages, in the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar saw,²¹ and that have persecuted Hebrews or Christians. And the Divine Judgment will fall upon them, upon all those territories; and many nations, and even continents, will disappear under the Divine Judgment; because it says that He will destroy those that destroy the Earth.

Those that destroy the Earth with different things and in different ways have the sentence to be destroyed. In Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 and on, God testifies this for these people that destroy the Earth.

Now, it’s not just by destroying trees or a tree with some tool, but with wars and with many substances that affect all of nature; and by taking from the heart of the Earth, from the center of the Earth, or taking away from the Earth everything that the Earth has, which the Earth needs to sustain itself.

It’s like if a doctor or someone tells a person: “Let me take your bone out of this place,” and another person comes and says: “Let me take out this other bone.” What happens? Well the person is left with flesh, but without bones; and he becomes like jello: all wiggly; and he can’t even work or do anything anymore.

And that is what is happening to the Earth: they have taken so many things from it, they have taken its iron, they have taken its petroleum, they have taken its gold, they have taken its silver, they have taken countless things away from it; uranium, and countless other things, to make war equipment; things that the Earth needs.

If an atomic ship or atomic submarine works so well with that nuclear fuel… but if they remove that fuel, what happens? Well, it stops working.

And if they take from the Earth all those things that give it energy, all those radioactive things, which the Earth needs, well, the Earth starts to lose its strength; and where they used to sow a good corn crop, and it yielded good corn, now if they sow and don’t add fertilizer, in most countries it would be hard to make it bear good fruit; that is because of everything that has been happening. And God says that He will destroy those that destroy the Earth.

Now, I am not against any of the things they are doing; I am not against there being petroleum to refine and provide gasoline for cars, because I also have cars; and we travel in cars and airplanes, and they need gasoline; but God says that He will destroy those that destroy the Earth. And if God says so, He will do it.

Now, will we have problems when God does that? No problem at all, because by that time we will already have the new body; we will already have the new body, and we will no longer be in a body in bondage, that is subdued and is under certain laws, that can only live for a short period of time; because seventy to a hundred years, that is such a short time that, compared to a millennium, notice, one hundred years is only one-tenth of it.

Likewise, the percentage of his brain that the human being uses (according to science) is ten percent, and look at everything he has achieved. What will it be like when all of God’s sons and daughters have the new body and one hundred percent in use? The brain of the new body won’t be functioning only ten percent anymore, but a hundred percent, and with both consciouses together.

Because the only way it can function a hundred percent is with both consciouses together; because ten percent is what is the conscious part for the human being; and ninety percent is in the subconscious.

But how will we add more to the ten percent so that we have more? Well, by adding the other conscious: we add ninety percent with that. And that is how it will be in the new body we will all have; and we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, notice that Jesus Christ is the One who does all the Work of Redemption and restores His children to their original place: by restoring their theophanic body, when the person believes in Christ as his Savior and receives His Holy Spirit; and then, by restoring the eternal body that each of us was supposed to have when we arrived to Earth, but because of the fall we had to take up a body born through our earthly parents.

And we thank God for our earthly parents: they were God’s instruments to provide us this earthly body that we have. Because we had to be on Earth the day we were born; and since we couldn’t obtain the eternal body, we had to obtain the corruptible, mortal, and temporary body, which our earthly parents gave us; but it was God (through them) who gave us that earthly body, it was God working that way.

Don’t think that it was by chance: God is the One who was involved in that whole matter. And when that little body was born, God put your soul there, the soul without the theophanic body of the sixth dimension, the soul: the naked soul, we could say. But our soul was clothed with a spirit of the world and with an earthly body; and that body grew to the point that, if you look in the mirror, you can see how far it has come.

Some still have a small body, others have a bigger one already, others are already at the maximum height they can reach, and others are shrinking… because after a certain time, let’s say, from sixty to seventy years old, the body starts to shrink a bit. That’s why when people are very old, they look smaller than they did before, because they already lost some height.

That’s because the spine wears out, in this whole area; and when that wears out, it’s like when you have two pieces here and you put a gasket here [in between them], let’s say a gasket made of, what can we say? A soft gasket… (made of silicone!) You put a gasket made of silicone; and when you put it there you can see how thick it is, but as it keeps moving and heating up, it starts to melt; and next thing you know, this piece is almost right against the other piece; so, it’s thinner than it was when you first saw it; that is what happens.

And if people seek you twenty years after death, they will find you are even smaller; and if they find you after two hundred years later, they won’t even recognize you. And one sees it so small that he can put it in a small coffin and say: “And that was So-and-so?” No, that was not So-and-so, that was the body where So-and-so lived; he is in another dimension.

If he was not a believer in Christ, then he is in the fifth dimension, in another world where people also live but without a physical body, rather, in the spirit of the world that they had inside their physical body; and in that body, they go to the fifth dimension.

Anyone may say: “Oh, then I’m alright, because if I go to the fifth dimension, I’m alright.” The fifth dimension is hell. The person has to go there if he has not received Christ as his Savior, until the general resurrection takes place, where God will call him, raise him up in the body he had when he was here on Earth, and he will present himself before the White Throne to be judged on Judgment Day.²²

Now, if the person was a believer in Christ, that person has a theophanic body, and he goes in that theophanic body to the sixth dimension (which is Paradise), and lives happily and peacefully there; he doesn’t have to work, he doesn’t have to eat, he doesn’t have to sleep, he doesn’t get sleepy, he doesn’t get hungry, he doesn’t have to work there; he is in a body of another dimension. He’s—he was retired or given a break for a short period of time, until the number of the elect is completed. And then the dead in Christ will rise in a new body, and there, they will have the second part of the redemption: the new body that Christ has promised for each one of us.

Christ said in Saint John chapter 6, verse 40:

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

There we have the promise of the resurrection at the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium, which is the Lord’s Day; because a thousand years… one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, says Second Peter chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90, verse 4.

And now, the Last Day is the seventh millennium. The seventh millennium is when the resurrection of the dead in Christ will take place, because that is the Day of Redemption, the redemption of the physical body, where every soul of God that already received his theophanic body—if his physical body died, he will receive the eternal body at the Last Day; and thus, the second part of the Work of Redemption, which is Christ giving us an eternal physical body, will be fulfilled in each one of the believers in Christ who have departed and are in Paradise waiting for that resurrection; and when we see them risen, we who are alive will be changed.

And that Work of Redemption will be fulfilled, the redemption of the body, where the children of God will have an eternal body again to live for all eternity. Just like Christ: we find that because He had an eternal body, He said: “No man takes life from Me. I lay it down of Myself, to take it again.”²³

And in order to die, to become mortal, He had to take our sins, for the wages of sin is death;²⁴ but there was a purpose in taking our sins. He became sin. He did not sin, rather, He became sin by taking ours sins, dying; and thus, redeeming our souls to give us Eternal Life, by giving us the new birth, and in the new birth, giving us the eternal theophanic body.

And then He will give us at this Last Day, on the Day of Redemption, in the seventh millennium, which is the day when our bodies will be redeemed… in other words, we who are alive will be changed, and those who died, well, they will be raised in eternal bodies; and thus this second part of the Work of Christ will be fulfilled, this second benefit will be fulfilled which was won by Christ on Calvary’s Cross for God’s elect, for those souls of God who have come from the seventh dimension without going through the sixth dimension; but we were represented in Christ when He was in the sixth dimension, and we were represented in Christ when He was here on Earth and died on Calvary’s Cross.

Therefore, by having Christ as our Savior, and having washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and received His Holy Spirit: we already have Eternal Life, even though our physical body doesn’t have Eternal Life yet; because this body is not the one that will receive Eternal Life, but rather, the new body.

It is a new body, and that is why it will be changed (if it is alive when the dead in Christ rise); but if our physical body dies, we have lost nothing but the body through which we were manifested in this earthly dimension, but we will come back to Earth in a new body. And in the new body, we won’t need the things we need in this physical body.

Now, let’s continue reading what Saint Paul goes on to tell us here. Let’s read verse 23 of Romans chapter 8, which is the next verse. It says… let’s see… [verse 22]:

“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

And not only they,” (meaning, not only the Earth), “but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

We ourselves, who have (what?) the firstfruits of the Spirit, in other words, we have the Spirit of Christ, we have the theophanic Spirit of the sixth dimension.

“…We ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption…”

Waiting for what? The adoption, the adoption of God’s sons and daughters. Let’s see which adoption that is:

“…Waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

The redemption of our body is our adoption.

Once the dead in Christ rise in eternal bodies they are already adopted as sons and daughters of God; and they will already have all the Divine Power, all the power that Christ manifested, and all the power that Adam and Eve lost; and all those rights that Adam and Eve lost, God’s sons and daughters will have them all restored when they have the eternal body. And when we who are alive see them risen in eternal bodies, we will be changed; and we will also have the eternal body; and we will already be physically redeemed too.

This is for the Day of Redemption, which is the seventh millennium, which is the Last Day; and if we add to the calendar the days it is behind, then we are already in the seventh millennium, we are already at the Day of Redemption; the day where, in the case of Ruth and Boaz, she would be rewarded by becoming the wife of Boaz; a type and figure of the union of Christ and His Church, where we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And we will be one Family; and Christ, our elder Brother: the Beginning of the Creation of God.

We have seen what the Day of Redemption is. It’s not that Christ will be crucified again, nor will something else happen, but rather, our transformation (for us who are alive), and the resurrection of the dead in Christ in eternal bodies.

And the Day of Redemption is the Last Day, that is the day of the redemption of the body, meaning, the day of the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the transformation of us who are alive.

We have seen how the redemption of the Hebrew people was manifested. As a people they were established again in the territory where Jacob (meaning, Israel) had lived with his sons the patriarchs; and then, when the Hebrew people were redeemed, they were adopted as a nation, as the firstborn nation, with the rights of the Birthright as a nation.

And God’s elect, as God’s firstborn, upon being adopted, having the blessing and the right of the Birthright, will be with Christ as kings and priests in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ and for all eternity. And the whole Kingdom of Christ on Earth and in the whole universe will be connected to God’s elect, who are kings and priests with Christ.

So let’s leave the subject of the universe, let’s stay here on Earth, because there is still a lot of work here. When the Earth is filled and there is a need for another place, look up at night and you will see that there are many places.

In other words, we will not have a problem of overpopulation, there will be no problem; what happens is that God doesn’t want the human being to go and live in other places in a fallen condition, because just as they corrupted the Earth, they would corrupt the whole universe. He wants the human being to be redeemed first, so that he can live for all eternity and enjoy everything God has in store for all eternity.

So all those planets that are up there, all those constellations, that whole universe, we will get to know it very well, without a need for telescopes; the only thing we need is the new body. Once we have it, we will have no limitations, because we will already be physically redeemed, in other words, in the physical body, because we will have the new body, the eternal body, where the redemption of the body will be fulfilled.

And this is for what time? For the Day of Redemption, which is the Last Day, the seventh millennium to human beings, which to God is the seventh day before God, it is the seventh millennium to human beings. I’m not referring to the seventh day of the week, but the Days before the Presence of God, which to human beings are a thousand years each day, and a thousand years of ours are only one day before God.

Ruth, who is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, notice, She made her decision… She has been going through different stages; and now She is at the Day of Redemption.

And each one of us as individuals are waiting for our transformation, we are waiting to be rewarded. And that is the reward of Christ: for those who died, to be raised in eternal bodies; and for us who are alive, to be changed; and thus, to be united with Christ, in the image and likeness of Christ, and to live for all eternity.

Now we are all resting as Ruth was resting, as Boaz told Ruth: “Lie down.” And we are resting on the Divine Promises, resting on those promises that will be fulfilled to whom? To all of us.

The evidence is that we receive the Spirit of Christ upon believing in Christ, and we have received His Message of the Last Day: the Message of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet; because the evidence of having the Spirit of Christ is receiving the Message of your age.

Now, who are the ones that will be changed if they are alive when the dead in Christ rise? Well, the ones who have the Spirit of Christ and have the Message of Christ of the Last Day and for the Last Day: the Message of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which reveals, which contains, and 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 Claiming Work.

Now, the Church has gone back to where She was before the seven Gentile Church ages; and now, every son and daughter of God will go back to how he or she was before the fall.

We are living at the most glorious time of all times, we are living at the time where soon there will be a resurrection of the dead in Christ and a transformation of us who are alive. And whom will that transformation be for? All of us!

We have the evidence, which is having the Spirit of Christ; and the evidence of having the Spirit of Christ is having the Message of the age that pertains to the Last Day, to the end time. And which is the Message that pertains to the seventh millennium? Everyone knows that for the seventh millennium, the relevant Message is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; because the Dispensation of the Kingdom is for the seventh millennium.

And God’s elect at the Last Day would have the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom and they would come into the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to receive the new body that Christ has promised for His elect.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ goes into the seventh dispensation: the Dispensation of the Kingdom, at the Last Day, to receive the new body. Christ said it would be, when? At the Last Day: “And I will raise him up at the Last Day.”²⁵

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has come into the Last Day, the seventh millennium; and therefore, She has come into the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message 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 Claiming Work, where Christ claims everything Adam and Eve lost in the garden of Eden, He claims it for His elect.

And that is why we who are alive will be changed. And if one of our own goes beforehand, well, he will come back in the eternal body; and we will see him, and he will tell us: “I’ve come back, the resurrection has happened;” in other words, he will visit us.

So, there are no problems for us who are alive; and if someone goes, there is no problem either. And we who remain, even if we suffer here, those will be the last sufferings in this physical body that we have. And notice what Saint Paul says (to conclude), he says in verses 14 to 18, of Romans chapter 8:

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,” (in other words, the theophanic body), “whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”

Now notice, with this theophanic spirit, the spirit of adoption, we cry: “Abba, Father!” because we have already been born again, we have been born as children of God. In other words, a person is a child of God when, what? When he is born again, when he is born as a child of God; and then he can cry out to God as a Father, and God answers His child as a Father.

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

See? So, if we suffer with Him and for Him, notice, those are the last sufferings we will be having in this earthly body, because there will be no sufferings in the new body.

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

The sufferings that we obtain or receive in this mortal body cannot even be compared to the smallest blessing that we have in the new body; it would be like a grain of sand being seen from the planet of Uranus or Pluto (I don’t know if a further one has been discovered recently) without binoculars. So, seeing a grain of sand from the planet of Pluto without binoculars, you would say, “That is impossible to see!” Our sufferings will be the same: impossible to see, because of the glory which will be revealed in the new body; for there will be no suffering at any moment, God will wipe away every tear from our eyes.

So, notice what God has promised for all His elect who have departed in the past and for those who are alive in the present. And this is all included in THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION, everything is connected to the Work of Redemption of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, where He made a provision for the new body He has promised for each one of us.

And without the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, there is no redemption for the body; and we are going to leave that there.

But there will be a redemption, because in the Scripture the Title Deed is promised to return to Earth, and [it is promised] that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have It.

It has been a great privilege to be with you, testifying to you about: “THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION.”

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, our Boaz, our Near Kinsman and Kinsman Redeemer, be upon each one of you, may all these blessings of redemption be upon each one of you and also upon me. And soon may the part of the redemption of the body become a reality in each one of you and also in me, and in the dead in Christ who are in Paradise. And may we all be together here on this Earth, as a giant family of millions of perfect beings, in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, all of them young, as He has promised; and may we be here for thirty to forty days, as it has been promised; and then, may we go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, in the House of our Heavenly Father. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

May God bless you and keep you; and we will see each other tomorrow, God willing, in the morning, to see the next subject we will have tomorrow, which will be: “THE MYSTERY OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.” May God help us.

Today, He helped me; He helped me on this occasion. I didn’t see how I could get here, how I could come out and be with you, until I had certain notes and waited from God. Pardon me for taking a little long to come and be with you here; but I can’t go out unless I have received from God what you have come to seek.

So, pray for me a lot so that tomorrow I have everything ready early, so that before Miguel introduces me, I am ready to come up already; in other words, so that I am ready; it’s not that I will come up first, but that I am ready; and that Miguel doesn’t have to be opening the door over there and… because well, that takes one out of the… that takes one out of the atmosphere he is in; and well, then one has to start all over again; and it’s not, well… it’s not beneficial. It is beneficial that one is ready by the time one is called.

When I haven’t been able to, well, I haven’t been ready because I am waiting for something from the Lord; I have had to hold on a while. But I hope you understand that. Because it’s better that I come here with a Word from the Lord; and not that I come early, that I arrive early, but without anything. You would think then: “What did he come for? If he didn’t bring us the Food in due season that he has to give us.”

So, I hope you understand that part, and understand why sometimes they play the music one time, two times, three times, and I still don’t come out; that is why.

But God gave me that hymn, that song, and well, that music is for you. So, you are making good use of it. Meanwhile, well, you are hearing a Word that God gave me for that occasion, a Word to be spoken, in a song, until I come with the rest of the message.

Well, may God continue to bless you, may God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention. And I will leave Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you to continue.

Thank you very much, and good night.

“THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION.”
