The Mystery of the Father’s Business

Good morning, beloved brethren and friends, businessmen and businesswomen. It is a great privilege to be with you this morning, to share some moments around the Divine Program, and to see where we stand and what blessings God has for us at this time in which we are living.

Let’s read the relevant Scripture, of Saint Luke chapter 2, verse 41 to 52, where it says (speaking about Jesus, Joseph, and Mary, it says):

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

“I must be about My Father’s business,” those are Christ’s words to Mary. And on this occasion, let’s see: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER’S BUSINESS.”

“THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER’S BUSINESS.” That is our subject for this occasion.

The Father’s business, to be carried out, is the fulfillment of what God has promised for each age and for each dispensation. And to fulfill the Father’s business, in each age and in each dispensation, God has sent a messenger.

And when He sends a messenger for an age, we will be seeing that this messenger is busy in the Heavenly Father’s business; and when God sends a dispensational prophet, that prophet will be busy in the Heavenly Father’s business, meaning, in the Word that God has promised for that dispensation; and he will be working in that business, so that every promise God has made for that dispensation is fulfilled.

And that messenger is God’s instrument for that dispensation; just like there is a messenger for each age, who works in the Heavenly Father’s business, and the Heavenly Father’s business is fulfilled.

Now, along with that messenger of each age and also of each dispensation, come many people who work hand-in-hand with him, on everything that needs to be done in that age or in that dispensation.

Notice, on one occasion, when Jesus met the young rich man and told him to sell all that he had and give it to the poor, and to come—and he would have treasures in Heaven, and to come and follow Him…¹ Why? Because there, notice, in the Father’s business, Christ was working in the fulfillment of the Divine Promises for that time, and all those who worked with Him, and all those who followed him, were laying up treasures (where?) in Heaven.

Notice how in each age and in each dispensation, the door opens so that those who want to work in the Kingdom of God, so that those who want to work in the Heavenly Father’s business for that age or for that dispensation, are able to work.

And what are those people doing? Well, they are laying up treasures in Heaven; because (notice) treasures are laid up in Heaven once the person has believed, once he is a believer, and he starts to work in the Work of God pertaining to the time in which he lives.

Now, the Scripture also says: “Lay not up treasures upon Earth, where thieves break through and where the moth damages things, and where rust also damages things. Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where thieves do not break through and the moth does not damage things.”² In other words, Christ taught us to lay up treasures in Heaven.

And treasures are laid up in Heaven in each age and in each dispensation. In other words, a person must know the age he is living in and the dispensation he is living in; otherwise, the person would be working but without working in the Heavenly Father’s business pertaining to that age or that dispensation. And the business pertaining to that age or that dispensation is the Divine Program that God has for that age or for that dispensation.

And notice, Christ was working in that business, which was the business pertaining to a new dispensation that was opening, and that… although it opened when John baptized Jesus, notice, Jesus was already working, starting out.

So notice, at twelve years old, He was already doing something: He was speaking the Word with those who… that is, they were exchanging questions and answers there. And Jesus asked them things, they answered him, they asked Jesus, Jesus answered; and it doesn’t say that Jesus was astonished at their answers, the Scripture says that they were astonished at the answers of Jesus. In other words, in a child, they saw great wisdom regarding the things of God.

That is why when we teach our children the Divine program, when people see them later on: “Oh, but where…? How does this child know so much?” Our children already understand things that even theologians don’t understand; why? Because they have been increasing not only in stature, but in Divine Wisdom and in the knowledge of God, of God’s Program pertaining to the time in which we have been given to live.

And also a knowledge of the things that God did in the past, and the things that are yet to be fulfilled; in other words, they are obtaining all that knowledge. And sometimes we may not even realize the extensive knowledge that they have; but sometimes… with certain things, if we don’t understand something, sometimes they understand it and they can teach us.

And well, that is a great blessing for children: that they be able to understand the age in which they are living, the dispensation, the Message, and all these things pertaining to our time; and how God’s Message comes in each age and in each dispensation, and why; and thus, that they be able to understand all these things since their childhood.

Notice, Jesus says… It says of Jesus: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature…”³

In other words, sometimes what parents do is only give their children food so that they grow in stature, but they forget that they must also increase in wisdom; and mainly in the wisdom of the Tree of Life, that type of Wisdom, that type of Divine Wisdom; so that they come to know the whole Divine Program, and they can be blessed by God, and they can be instruments of God in our Heavenly Father’s business pertaining to the time in which one is living.

And this way, they are helpful to their parents. And their parents can say: “God is blessing my child;” and they can see that God is working with them, that He is dealing with them, and that God is taking care of them too.

Now, in our Heavenly Father’s business, we have seen the age pertaining to this time.

We have seen, in the diagram that Rev. William Marrion Branham used in “The Stature Of A Perfect Man” and in An Exposition Of The Seven [Gentile] Church Ages,⁴ we have seen where Saint Paul with his group were, we have seen where Irenaeus with his group were, we have seen where Martin and his group were, we have seen where Columba and his group were, we have seen where Luther and his group were, we have also seen where Wesley and his group were, and we have seen where our Brother Branham and his group were.

We have seen where those seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church were fulfilled, and each place where it was fulfilled: from there it then spread to other nations, and they took the blessing to other nations.

And now, we have seen where the Age of the Cornerstone is being fulfilled, we have seen where we are, and we have seen from where the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will spread to the whole world.

“And all the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” as it says in Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 14; and Isaiah chapter 11, verse 9, where it tells us that the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; that is to say: the knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ, because it is the Coming of the Son of man in glory.

And they will be filled with the knowledge of that glory, of the Second Coming of Christ to His Church, to His spiritual Temple, to that Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple.

And now, notice how in our age we are working in our Heavenly Father’s business, and also in our dispensation. And not only are we benefited, but many human beings who live at this time are benefited, and [those] also who will live in the glorious Millennial Kingdom; because all those who will live in the Millennial Kingdom will benefit from the Work that is done in our age and in our dispensation; and all the saints who are in Paradise also benefit, because they cannot be made perfect without us.

Therefore, the Work pertaining to our age and to our dispensation is the Work that pertains to this Last Day, so that everything God has promised to carry out at this end time is fulfilled, and to bring forth the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, after the number of the elect has been completed.

We are working on the gathering of the elect of this Last Day, that is to say, the gathering of this Last Day, in this Harvest that is taking place. And when the number of the elect pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone is completed: the number of the mystical Body of Christ will be completed; and then the other things that must be fulfilled will be fulfilled, such as the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.

Now, with our earthly business, notice, we all work in favor of God’s Program pertaining to our time; and that is a blessing for us and for our business too; because we have merged our business with our Heavenly Father’s business; we have put it to work, made it merge and made it produce, so that it is beneficial to God’s Work, to God’s Program; always with the goal of God’s Program pertaining to our time. And that sure is a good choice: choosing God as our partner in our business.

God has promised His blessing to us, and He has told us to lay up treasures in Heaven; and that is what we are doing when we are working in the Work of Christ pertaining to the time in which we have been given to live. And we do it with all our heart, with all our soul and with Love Divine; not feeling forced, but feeling privileged that He has given us that opportunity.

And that way, at this Last Day, we will perform wonders that have never been done before, because we have understood the age and dispensation we are living in, and understood which is our Heavenly Father’s business pertaining to this end time.

Notice how in a short amount of time we obtain comfortable properties for the congregations, we obtain equipment too, and all these things that were very difficult many years ago.

Well, Miguel knows a lot about this: how finding or obtaining something to work in the Work took a lot of effort. But now God has made everything easier for us.

There are people who have seen the Divine Program and are working in God’s Program in our age and in our dispensation. And what are they doing? Well, they are the ones benefiting, because they are laying up treasures (where?) in Heaven, they are storing everything there in Heaven.

So, it is also a great privilege for me to be storing up treasures in Heaven, because I am also working in God’s Program pertaining to our time. And Christ says that He will reward every man according to, what? His work.⁵

In other words, it’s not just a matter of being a believer in Christ. It’s a matter of being a believer in Christ and not being a lazy person, but a person who works in the Work of Jesus Christ!

Whoever says: “I already believed in Christ and I don’t have to do anything else, or I don’t have to do anything, and I will receive the same treasure as those who have worked tirelessly.”

If that is what he is imagining, he should first look at the parable of those who were given talents. And one was given this many talents, others were given that many; and they worked with those talents and multiplied them.⁶

And one who was given one talent, buried it and took care of his own business; and he left our Heavenly Father’s business buried there (because he buried the talent that God gave him to work in the Kingdom of God).

When his Lord came to reckon with him… Because if He gathers where He has not sown, meaning, He reaps where He has not sown, how much more so where He put a talent! For He sowed a talent in a person. The person must multiply what God gave him; and that means: work, work in the Kingdom of God.

And he must be in the same mindset as Jesus was when He said (at just twelve years old): “I must be about My Father’s business.” And what was He doing? Working! He wasn’t being a lazy person.

So notice, a person… in a place where people are working, a lazy person is a hindrance. “The best way to help is to not get in the way.”

And notice, in the Work of God, a hindrance is someone who is not working in the Work of God, who is not busy in our Heavenly Father’s business. Those are the ones who waste the time of the ones who are working, because they are coming to chit-chat: “Look at that over there, and this other thing over here,” and he isn’t doing anything; and he is being a hindrance to the work of the person who is working.

But we are all called to be working; and when we come to someone else, it’s to give them a hand and help them; or if we need help, then we ask for it from someone who will work.

Don’t ask a lazy person for help, because the help he will give you is: “Oh, but you are working too much. Take a break now, let’s talk about something;” and you didn’t get the help you were looking for, instead, he made you waste more time and delayed your work.

That is why you will almost always see that a person who works a lot: practically everyone comes to him, and the person says: “But I have so much work, and now they are going to give me more work.” Do you know what Jesus said (when the talent was taken away from someone who only had one talent)?

— “Now, what are you going to do with that talent?”

— “Give it to the one who has… to that person.”

— “But he is the one who has the most!”

— “To him that has, more shall be given.”

So, that is why plenty of work appears for a person who works a lot in the Work [of God], and he keeps getting more. But remember: God doesn’t put a burden over anyone that he cannot carry; notice, it’s because that person can do it.

And notice, a tree, a tree that is very fruitful, notice, it bears a lot of fruit over here, and then it bears more up here. Why? Because it’s a tree that brings forth a lot of fruit.

However, a tree that brings forth very little fruit bears a little bit of fruit over here, and to see another fruit, you have to go around the tree to see another one scattered over there; because it is a tree that is feeding off the soil, it is getting sun, rain, and everything, but it is very lazy. And there are others that, years pass by, and they don’t produce anything.

But we have medicine for that. Back in Puerto Rico, people in the countryside would take a nail, they would put it in the fire until it was very hot, and they would nail it into that tree; and they say that by the next year it would bear… it would bear fruit because it had to, because it wouldn’t wait to get the next “injection.”

So… Notice, Christ Himself, in one of the parables, He spoke about… was it a fig tree Miguel? That had already been there for how many years? (Three years?) Three years, getting water from the rain, from the dew, and from under the soil as well; and getting sun; and looking pretty, with a lot of leaves… all looks, but no fruit!

And in the parable, Christ says that the owner of the farm, of the estate, and therefore, of the fig tree (because the owner of the land is the owner of everything in it, unless he rented it to someone else); and he says: “This fig tree is taking up space here. A good tree could be planted here, that bears a lot of fruit and produces what it consumes every year (or what it obtains).”

If it obtains water, it obtains sun, it obtains soil, land, all of that, and it is not bringing forth anything: “Get this fig tree out of here, because it is taking up land without bearing fruit.” The servant tells him: “Let’s fix it up and leave it one more year; if it doesn’t bear fruit next year: we will cut it down.”⁷

Now, how much would the servant have tried? If he knew… (in the parable, because it is a parable); but if he knew this technique we have over there, well, that fig tree probably took an injection of fire; because that is what is needed: to be injected with the Fire of God in order to bring forth fruit.

And that was the end of the parable; because it represented the Hebrew people, right? [Brother Miguel: The fig tree is a type of Israel; but I don’t know if in this parable…]

Well, if it is a type of Israel, well… Christ Himself said to it: “Let no fruit grow on you hereafter,”⁸ because when He came, it didn’t have any fruit.

Now, notice how things are always represented in symbolisms; there is always one or more symbols for everything that will happen, everything is represented, symbolized, that way.

And notice the representation of what would happen among the Hebrew people, because everything is symbolized so that it may then be materialized, fulfilled.

Symbolized also means “in figure,” it is also foreshadowed before it is a figure; it is foreshadowed partially, and then comes the figure in its fullness; and then, later on, comes the fulfillment of that type and figure or that symbol.

And now, notice how what awaited the Hebrew people is already being foreshadowed by Christ in the parables, and He is also symbolizing or typing it there when He cursed the fig tree.

And now, notice how the Hebrew people have not brought forth fruit in two thousand years, they have not brought forth more fruit. God turned to the Gentiles, and among the Gentiles is where the fruit has been seen throughout all these stages of the Gentile Church, from the first age to our age.

And now, notice how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been bringing forth much fruit, many sons and daughters of God. Just like the fruit of a family, of a mother, are her children, the fruit of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are God’s sons and daughters, who have been born in Her by Divine Creation, by the spoken Word of Christ through the messenger of each age.

Notice, from age to age, the miracle pertaining to each age has been brought forth: the birth of God’s sons and daughters in each age; the new birth has been brought forth in them and they have come into the Kingdom of God, into the Kingdom of Heaven, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, notice how in our age, Christ has been working through His spoken Word, and notice everything He is bringing forth: sons and daughters of God, putting them in the dimension of the theophany, in the sixth dimension, to give us the eternal body He has promised soon.

The Work that Christ has been doing may not have been foreseen by many people, but It was foreseen by God and It was promised in the Scripture. And we have been fortunate, in the Divine Program, to not only see and understand that Work, but to be the people in whom God is carrying out that Work: the Latin American and Caribbean people; and we have the privilege of being the elect who would be called and gathered at this Last Day. There is no greater privilege than that.

And to discover that we were sons and daughters of God and we didn’t know it, and now we do know it… and to know that we will be changed, that this is the age for which there is the promise of the transformation…

Saint Paul couldn’t tell those of his age: “This is the age when the transformation is coming.” None of the seven angel-messengers could tell their people that it was the age of the transformation. However, we can openly say that the Age of the Cornerstone is the age for the transformation of us who are alive and for the resurrection of the dead in Christ.

And we are working in the Work of Christ, in our Heavenly Father’s business, until the last elect is brought in, gathered, until the mystical Body of Christ is completed, and the dead in Christ rise and we who are alive are changed.

And then, won’t we continue working? We will continue for all eternity, in the business of our Lord Jesus Christ pertaining to the Millennium and to all eternity.

Because for those who had talents and multiplied them, they were… the Lord Jesus Christ put them in a good standing, for He told them to enter into the joy of their Lord, to enter into the Kingdom prepared by God. In other words, they entered into a greater blessing. And with all the talents they had, plus what they had multiplied (what they had obtained in addition), notice, they took them; and when the one who had many talents was given—he was given the additional talent, notice, they gave it to him; therefore, he had more talents for the other things he was going to do, therefore, he would obtain greater profit.

So whatever we store in the Kingdom of Heaven, we will use during the Millennium and for all eternity, because we are not going to be storing something in Heaven to not use it, but rather, to use it; and the rewards that Christ is going to give His children depend on that.

So, notice, in the parables of the pounds too.⁹ The one who had this many, worked and obtained more; and then when they reckoned with those who worked, they were told that they would be given authority over what? (Over what does it say, Miguel?) [Brother Miguel: Ten cities.]

What does that mean in the Divine Program for us during the Millennial Kingdom and during eternity? If we are going to be kings and priests, well, we must reign over someone. And if Christ is going to sit on the Throne of David as King of kings and Lord of lords, well, He must have someone to reign over.

So we’ll leave that pending, and let’s concern ourselves with working in the Kingdom of Heaven, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, because when the rewards come we will know what those rewards are, which we will enjoy with Christ for all eternity.

Notice, in the new Jerusalem… Do you want to see an example here? Since it came to mind here, let’s see. Revelation 21, verse 9 and on (to avoid reading too much), says:

“And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 

On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”

See? So, they were the people who were in the bottom part, the part of the foundation of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and notice how they appear over here in the wall of the city, where…

“And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them…”

That is, on those twelve foundations, it had the names of the twelve apostles.

Notice how all of the new Jerusalem is the representation of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, there, in the new Jerusalem, you will be able to see the twelve foundations, and say: “Here I am seeing each of the apostles of Jesus Christ (except Judas Iscariot, because he was replaced by someone else), I am seeing them here. This one is Peter, this one is the other apostle,” and so on. Why? Because they are represented there. Because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is represented in everything that is there.

And someday, Miguel, we will have [the subject of] the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ represented in the new Jerusalem, and we will see all of those parts.

Notice, the twelve gates, we have the patriarchs there; and the twelve gates, notice, have the names of the twelve tribes; and the names of the twelve tribes, well, those are the names (of whom?) of the twelve patriarchs.

And now, see? They belong to that new Jerusalem too.

Because, if Abraham looked for that City!¹⁰ Abraham will be there too; he will be represented somewhere in that City.

And then we will be seeing everything that City contains. And everything that City contains will be representing (what?) the ones who will dwell in that City. Therefore, those who will dwell in that City, well, they will be around there, around the area where they are represented.

And there are many things there. I only showed you the bottom part of the City. If we go to the top part, there, well, we will see that this is where we are going to be, around that area, because we don’t have another place below. And everything around there is the highest part of the City, and it is the most important part of that City.

That is where all the City services come from. Do you want to see it? It says…. [Revelation] chapter 22 says:

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”

Notice, this is the Tree of Life, which is also in other places: three places in the Book of Revelation,¹¹ and three places in the Book of Genesis,¹² and it represents Christ.

And why “on either side”? In the… we will tell you what the Tree of Life is there. Now, let’s see. It says:

“And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”

And where is God’s Throne? Well, at the top; the lighting, the light of the City, comes from there, and what else comes from there? Water for the City. Light and water; we won’t have to pay electricity or water bills anymore when we are there. So, these problems are over, and power outages and water shortages are over as well. Notice, it is a prepared City for a prepared people.

Everyone tries to… all the nations are trying to prepare the city of the future, but notice, God already designed It, and He will have It established on Earth soon; in the meantime, we get by with what we have at hand, so that we are in the Divine Program, working in the age and dispensation in which we have been given to live.

During the Millennium, although that City won’t be there, we will be in Jerusalem; and it will be reconditioned; and well reconditioned; and then, later on the City will also be there literally.

But notice, although the City the size of approximately fifteen hundred miles wide by fifteen hundred miles long by fifteen hundred miles high won’t be there literally, the representation of that City will be there, or what represents that City: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be there, which is the spiritual Jerusalem.

And if She is there, well… what is seen is made of what does not appear. So, if She is there, then in eternity there will be a high mountain prepared there, to dwell on that high mountain, and for the City and its citizens to be there.

And not just anyone will enter there… notice, not just anyone will enter into there. Revelation 21 says, let’s look at verses 22 to 27, it says:

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”

In other words, that City won’t be full of buildings, as they are called nowadays: churches (in Christianity), and other religions call them temples or things like that; in the Hebrew religion, well, they call them synagogues (the places where they gather) plus the temple that was in Jerusalem. But notice, there won’t be a temple in that City, there won’t be a temple because… why?

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.”

All teaching in every field of the human being’s life will come from that city. In other words, a nation won’t be able to say: “I’m going to teach, I’m going to invent another teaching on a subject about life or a subject about whatever it may be.” No. All teaching will come from there; because light on every field of the human being’s life will come from there; and that will be a perfect light, and there will be a clear knowledge of all things.

“ And the gates of it…”

Let’s see…

“…And the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.”

That is why it says that Its gates shall not be shut by day, it doesn’t say: “Its gates shall not be shut by night,” because there will be no night there; it will be twenty-four hours of light, it is a City of light, and Its gates will never be shut; the gates are there with the names of the apostles, but they will never shut.

From there, God’s business will be administered for all nations on this Earth and in the whole universe. And the Earth will become—for those who didn’t know It was the center of the universe—it will become the center of the universe; because wherever the Throne of God is, well, that is the center of God’s operations; therefore, it is the center of the universe.

And that is where we will be with Christ, from there, we will move to all the nations and all the places where we have to go. Anyone may say: “But, will we have time to go from one place to another? And if we have to go to some places…?” Well, if we don’t have enough time when we are going at the speed of thought, then we will look for a faster way.

It says:

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written (where?) in the Lamb’s book of life.”

That is a special City for those who are written there.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Who will be the kings that will bring their glory and honor to that City, into that City? If they enter into that City, it’s because they have their names written (where?) in the Lamb’s Book of Life; in order to enter into that City they must have their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, in that Title Deed that was sealed with seven Seals.

And now, notice how the kings who will reign with Christ… millions of kings won’t reign among a small group of Hebrews (then there will be more kings than inhabitants in the country). There is a saying that says…

[Brother Miguel: Too many commanders, not enough soldiers.]

Something like that…

And there must be peoples, individuals, nations, and tongues which will be ruled by these kings and priests that Christ will have, through whom He will administer the rule of all Creation, the rule of all things. And that is the Cabinet of Christ: kings and priests; because He is King after the Order of Melchizedek and He is Priest after the Order of Melchizedek; and we are also of that Order: of the Order of Melchizedek, to reign with Christ and also minister as priests of the Order of Melchizedek.

In ancient times, the priest was also the king. In a family, notice, the head of that family, as Abraham was, Abraham was the priest and he was also the king of his people, he was the head.

Just like Moses. Notice, Moses was the prophet, but he also worked as a priest; and notice, he also was the one who established the Hebrew people their laws, he was the lawgiver of the Hebrew people.

With only one man anointed by God—he received the laws for the Hebrew people from God. So, there was no vote for a legislative chamber and a chamber… a senate chamber, and so on; rather, everything came from God to the Prophet Moses, and Moses gave it to the people.

And in the Millennium and in eternity, the people will have their lifestyle, and their way… the Divine Laws in people’s heart; because they will know the Divine Laws, they will know what pleases God, how it pleases Him, and all those things, and every person will act according to those Divine Laws. And furthermore, it also says that in the Millennium, whoever does not act according to what God has established: blessings will not come upon them.

Let’s see here. Zechariah chapter 14, verse 16 and on, says:

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.”

Because the Millennium is the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles; therefore, from year to year, that Feast will also be carried out at the level in which it must be carried out.

Sometimes we wonder: “What will people do there in the Millennium and then in eternity?” Everything that has been carried out, these feasts that the Hebrew people have had, notice, are being fulfilled, have been fulfilled in the Church of the Lord, and will also be fulfilled for the Hebrew people; and then in the Millennium, well, these feasts will be kept.

Notice, the Feast of Tabernacles will be carried out there from year to year, at the level that it must be carried out; and everything that happened in each stage in which that feast was fulfilled both among the Hebrew people going through the wilderness, then among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the seventh Gentile Church age, and then in the Millennial Kingdom, that which pertains to the Millennial Kingdom.

Notice how as that feast or each of these feasts goes on to a new stage, its glory is greater.

And now, that Feast of Tabernacles will have great glory during the Millennial Kingdom, which was all reflected when the Hebrew people celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles, which was a type of that whole journey of the Hebrew people dwelling in booths (tabernacles); and then, in the seventh age of the Gentile Church, the part that pertains to the Church of the Lord.

And now, notice, as that feast was fulfilled, the Hebrew people and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will then be there in the Millennial Kingdom, in the great Feast of Tabernacles magnified.

Well, notice here, it says:

“And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.”

And if there is no rain, there is no food for the plants; therefore, they will lose that year’s crop, and there won’t be food (because if there is no crop, there is no food); and if there is no water, then the animals die; and if there is no water, then what happens to the people? They die too.

“And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.”

Now, we have seen what the Millennial Kingdom will be like, because It will be a Kingdom with a rod of iron; in other words, It will have Its laws established, and not obeying them will even bring consequences for the nations.

It says: “…The child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.”¹³ Because there will be people living during the Millennial Kingdom who didn’t die during the Great Tribulation and entered into the Millennial Kingdom.

And that is why, notice, those people will have a good opportunity there, for God’s blessing; but their lives will also have a time limit to live there; because those who enter there with a mortal body, well, they are not the elect, the chosen ones, because they (the elect) have already been changed, they have a new body and they live for all eternity.

Well, see the great blessing there is for those who work in the business of our Heavenly Father?

No one, no nation or person, can assure someone what Christ assures us. That is why He said: “Don’t lay up treasures on Earth, but in Heaven.” And He said that He will give every person, reward every person, according to His Work.

May we work in our Heavenly Father’s business without limitations at this Last Day; and may God bless you greatly, and use you greatly in His Kingdom, in His Work; and may God prosper you spiritually and materially as well. In the Eternal Name of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, and I will leave Miguel Bermúdez Marín with us again.

Miguel has to get his visas already. If he didn’t eat breakfast back there, it seems that he won’t have time to… Well, Miguel does what camels do. Camels store water here, in their backs, and Miguel stores food around this area, so he has two humps but on each side. So, Miguel has no problem. Poor Ruth… poor Ruth, if they didn’t have breakfast back there and they don’t have time (unless she stays). Is she going with Miguel? Oh, her too.

Well… well, if they can’t, we will see them on another [occasion], perhaps at dinner. Although you aren’t coming here, right? (At night.) Well, enjoy your meal, wherever you can eat.

It’s no problem for Miguel; when he’s hungry, if he sees a store, he goes in there and buys something, eats, and keeps going; he doesn’t… Miguel is very practical, it’s no problem for him in that regard. So, don’t worry, he won’t get too skinny from leaving without eating.

Well, may God continue blessing you, may God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention.

And enjoy the physical breakfast you will have, everyone; and likewise, may the spiritual breakfast we have had in this “one on one” chat (as we say), also be beneficial to you. It’s a chat among family and friends, and co-workers in our Heavenly Father’s business.

May God bless you and keep you. And I will leave Miguel with us.
