Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present here in El Belloto, Chile. It is a great blessing to be with you, to share some moments of fellowship around the Divine Program, and to be able to better understand why we are living on this Earth and what we are living here for.
The Book of Revelation, in chapter 3, verse 14, and also the Book or Letter to the Hebrews, chapter 2, verses 9 to 18, says the following… Chapter 3, verse 14, of Revelation, says:
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.”
And in Hebrews chapter 2, verses 9 to 18, it says:
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he,” (meaning, Jesus), “also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.”
May God bless our souls with His Word, and allow us to understand It.
For this occasion, our subject is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FIRSTBORN OF HEAVEN.” THE FIRSTBORN OF HEAVEN.
In order to understand that Jesus is the Firstborn of Heaven, we also need to understand that there are names of sons and daughters of God registered in Heaven.
And now, notice, it’s through Christ that those firstborn of God come into existence.
And now let’s look at Jesus Christ, the Firstborn of God. Saint John chapter 1, verse 1 and on, says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
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.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light,” (meaning, John the Baptist was not that Light), “but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”
And now, how was the true Light coming into the world? It would come in the form of a Man. It says:
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him…”
Who made the world, the whole universe, all of creation? The Word that was with God and was God.
And now, the Word was coming into the world; and we’re about to see how the Word was coming into the world. It says:
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own,” (meaning, the Hebrew people), “and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Because those who believe in Christ as our Savior, and wash away their sins in the Blood of Christ: receive the Spirit of Christ, and thus, they receive the new birth, thus, they are born through Christ; and they are born in a new Creation: they are born in that new Creation called the mystical Body of Christ, in other words, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And they become, what? Descendants of God through the Second Adam.
See? It is through Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, that God’s sons and daughters come into existence on this Earth, obtain the new birth, and that is how He brings many sons and daughters of God into existence.
It says, for example, when Saint Paul spoke to us in Hebrews, he said:
“And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.”
How has God given Christ these children? Through the new birth.
Christ, being the Second Adam, just as the first Adam had children and had a seed, now notice how the Second Adam has God’s sons and daughters. It’s not through the union of a man and a woman, it’s not by blood and flesh (Saint John says), but of God: by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how the new birth operates, which Christ spoke to Nicodemus about.1
Because it is impossible for a person to be able to see (in other words, to understand) the Kingdom of Heaven without being born again, and it is impossible for a person to be able to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven or Kingdom of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, without being born again.
The new birth is required, and Christ operates that in the people who believe in Him, and wash away their sins in the Blood of Christ; and Jesus Christ gives us His Holy Spirit, and thus, we obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and thus, we are born into the Kingdom of God.
And at the Last Day, He will give us a physical and eternal body, a glorified body, an interdimensional body, to live in for all eternity, and to also have the theophanic body of the sixth dimension there.
And since we are souls of God, we will live for all eternity with a theophanic body inside the eternal body we will have; and we will be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, and we will reign with Jesus Christ for all eternity; because we are heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ our Lord.
And now, notice how through Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, the Firstborn, come the firstborn children of God, written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And now, let’s see here what it goes on to say here about the Word. We were reading here in Saint John, where it said:
“Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,” (in other words, they are not born through the union of a man and a woman), “but of God.”
This is by believing in Christ, washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how we obtain the new birth.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
The Word that was with God and was God, and created all things, now came and was made flesh among the human race, there among the Hebrew people, and He was known by the Name of Jesus.
Who was Jesus? And who is Jesus? He is the Word that was made flesh, He is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, He is the Creator of all creation; and He was in the beginning with God, and He was God, and He is still God.
And God created a theophanic body of the sixth dimension for Himself, which is called the Word of God, or the Word that came out of God, or the Logos that came out of God. And God in that theophanic body is known as the Word, because the theophanic body that God created for Himself is the body of the Word. And that theophanic body belongs to God, and it is the first body that came into existence: it is the beginning of all creation. And by God being manifested in that body, He created all of creation, the universe; He created everything from that body.
That is why, do you know who the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth is? It’s that Man called the Word of God, who was with God and was God. It says, notice:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
That Man called the Word of God is the Creator of all things. Why? Because He was with God and He was God. He was God Himself, in the form of a Man from another dimension.
Now, what would science think? What would scientists think if they hear that the Creator of the entire universe is a Man? And then, if they hear that this Man was with God and this Man is God? Didn’t God create man in His image and likeness? So, what does God look like? Well, a man.
When God created Himself His theophanic body, He made it in the form of a Man, but from another dimension. And then, when God made Himself His body of this dimension, it was a body of flesh; and it had a Name. And do you know what that Name was? Jesus.
And now, God is there with His theophanic body inside the body of flesh called Jesus. That is why when they told Jesus: “Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us,” Jesus said: “Have I been so long with you, Philip, and yet you have not known Me? Don’t you know that the Father is in Me and I am in the Father?” (or vice-versa). “Don’t you know, don’t you understand this? And he that has seen Me, has seen the Father.”2 Why? Because, notice, it says here in the same 1st chapter of Saint John, verse 18, it says:
“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
And how has He declared Him? Through His manifestation in human flesh in the Person of Jesus, the Almighty God manifested in human flesh was declared.
And now, notice how our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is none other than the Word that was made flesh, and therefore, He is the Creator of all things, and He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
When He appeared to Abraham on different occasions—we find that when He appeared to Abraham when he was returning from his victory over those kings who had taken Lot and his family prisoner or captive, with other people from the city where Lot lived; we find that when Abraham returned victorious, and with his nephew back, then Melchizedek, King of Salem, appeared to him, and He gave Abraham bread and wine. Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God, notice how He appeared to Abraham and gave him bread and wine.3
Do you know who that Priest of the Most High God was? It was the Lord Jesus Christ in His theophanic body.
And that is why when Christ died, rose, and ascended to Heaven: He went into Heaven after the Order of Melchizedek, as Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, to offer His Own Blood for each of us, in order to intercede for each of us.
And we find that the mystery of this Melchizedek is revealed in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; because the Melchizedek of the Old Testament is the Jesus Christ of the New Testament, who died, rose, and ascended to Heaven with His own Blood, to present It in the Temple which is in Heaven, in the Holy of Holies, on the Mercy Seat of the Temple which is in Heaven; which no priest after the order of Aaron or Levi could enter into.
They could enter into the temple that was there in Jerusalem, and before that, they would enter into the temple Moses built; but they could not enter into the Temple which is in Heaven; because only Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God, of the Temple which is in Heaven, enters into that Temple. And that is why Christ Jesus could enter, because He is the same Melchizedek of the Old Testament.
Then we find that He appeared to him on another occasion as Elohim, the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: He ate with Abraham; and two other Men also appeared with him, which were Gabriel and Michael. They ate with Abraham, and Elohim made known to Abraham that the promised son would come.4
And then we find that they left Abraham’s house to go to Sodom and Gomorrah; and God began to say, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I will do?” “Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first,” (what?) “revealing His secrets to His servants the prophets,” Amos chapter 3, verse 7, tells us.
And now, God begins to tell Abraham the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah along with its inhabitants, and He tells him: “I have come down to see whether it is true or not, to see whether it’s according to the cry that has reached My Presence,”5 in other words, according to the cry that has reached the Throne of God in Heaven.
And now, God comes down to Abraham in a visible form, with His Archangels; and when that happens, a major event is taking place on this Earth.
And They appear to Abraham, They speak with Abraham… Notice, nowadays [people] would say: “Three extraterrestrials are appearing to Abraham.” And They speak with Abraham, They eat with Abraham, and not only do They make known to Abraham about the promised son, but also about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sodom and Gomorrah later come to be a type and figure of mankind, of the world at the end time. And Abraham’s promised son is a type and figure of the Second Coming of Christ.
And since this has two very important parts:
• Elohim first eating with Abraham and discerning Sarah’s heart: that part has already been fulfilled under the ministry of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus Christ through the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, through whom we saw the Spirit of Christ discerning people’s hearts; this is, discerning the hearts of the people of the Church; and Sarah represents the Church.
And now, we find that later on, Elohim is with His two Archangels. Because They went walking towards Sodom and Gomorrah, but Abraham went with Them;6 and Abraham’s seed will continue with Elohim. Even though Sarah stayed at home, Abraham’s seed will be with Elohim, just like Abraham remained with Elohim.
And where was Abraham’s seed, the promised son? He was whose loins? Abraham’s.
And now, we find that when He is revealing to him the secrets of the destruction that will come, Abraham is listening there; and Isaac is also in Abraham, and all of Abraham’s seed is there. Where? In Abraham. Levi is there too.
How could Levi be there? Well, if he was there when Abraham tithed to Melchizedek (which was long before that), then he was still there;7 because Isaac, Jacob, the patriarchs, and that entire seed was there in Abraham’s loins.
• And now, we find that the revelation of the things that would come to pass over Sodom and Gomorrah, which represent the Gentile world, which represent at the end time the Gentile kingdom in its last stage… notice, He revealed to Abraham the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby cities, and He revealed that they had already reached the end of the line, in other words, they had met the requirements to be destroyed at that time.
And with the Presence of Elohim, of Gabriel and Michael, here on Earth, mankind’s condition would be confirmed; in other words, They would confirm that the kingdom of Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby cities had indeed come to an end.
Just like at the end time, the day in which we are living, the manifestation of Elohim, which is the manifestation of Jesus Christ at the Last Day through His Angel-Messenger, will be the confirmation that the world has come to its end; because the forerunner has already come and gone.
And now we are at the time when, at any moment, the world will be under the Divine Judgment, like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Remember that it was during the morning that the destruction came to Sodom and Gomorrah; in other words, it was during the morning of a new day.
He says in Genesis… in Genesis, it tells us what happened at that time. Around chapter 19, it says… Let’s see, chapter 19 says, verse 13 and on (the Angels, the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, tell Lot):
“For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
And while he (Lot) lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.”
Now, notice how God’s mercy even extends to that city that was to be destroyed, but Lot asks for that city to escape to it; and then it is taken off the list of cities that will be destroyed; and Lot is allowed to go to that city. But the order was to go to the mountain, to go farther away.
Then, it says… They tell him:
“See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”
And the sun was already rising, it says the sun was risen:
“The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.”
When Lot entered into Zoar, then what happened? Fire from Heaven was falling upon the Earth.
“But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace,” (meaning, the way one sees the explosion of an atomic bomb, and sees the smoke going up as if it were coming out of a furnace: like that).
“And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain…”
In other words, he didn’t stay in Zoar, in that small city, instead he went to the mountain later on. In other words, he only made a stop there. He said “No, I won’t stay here; perhaps, even though They didn’t destroy this city, the pollution can reach all the way over here.” Surely the smoke could reach there too. So, when Lot saw all those explosions, and the smoke, then he preferred to go where the Angels had told him to go: to the mountain.
The mountain is always the best place.
Notice, Abraham lived on the mountain and he was not worried at all: he slept peacefully. And the next day, well, when he heard those explosions and he went to see, he looked over to see Sodom and Gomorrah from there, from the mountain: he saw that smoke went up from Sodom and Gomorrah like a furnace. What God had told Abraham had been fulfilled.
And God had not found ten righteous there. If he didn’t find them, Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed. But God didn’t tell him: “There are only four,” instead, He left everything like that.
And Abraham said, “Well, if my nephew Lot has multiplied and his daughters have multiplied, then surely there are more than ten people; but if not, then tomorrow Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed.” And when he heard the explosions in the morning, and he saw the smoke and everything, and he looked, he saw that God had not found ten righteous people.
And why was the requirement at least ten people, ten people minimum? Because if God had not forgiven the antediluvian world with the eight righteous people it had (Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughters-in-law),8 well, God wouldn’t forgive Sodom and Gomorrah if they had less than ten people.
And now, notice how at the Last Day the world, the Gentile kingdom, is sentenced to be destroyed. The Gentile kingdom will be removed, and the glorious Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ will be established. And that means that at the end time the Divine Judgment of the Day that shall burn as an oven will come upon the Gentile kingdom, which at the Last Day, at the end time, will be in the feet of iron and clay, like in the statute that King Nebuchadnezzar saw.9
But notice, at the time of Abraham, there was a group that was at the top, they were there on the mountain, where God visited them.
And at the end time, Abraham’s seed will be at the top of the Mountain, of the Mountain of God: they will be safe there, in the Age of the Cornerstone, hearing the Voice of Christ, the Voice of Elohim, making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, among the Gentile kingdom; but we will be safe, because we are at the top of the Mountain of God, of Mount Zion.
And we will be changed and raptured, to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, while the Earth will be going through the Divine Judgments; and then, we will return… After the three and a half years of the Great Tribulation, we will return to Earth, to be in the glorious Millennium Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, when did the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah take place? It took place in the morning, when the sun had already risen. When the morning rose, the Angels hastened Lot to leave, and they brought him out. It wasn’t that Lot said: “Well, I’m going to leave before sunrise,” and Lot’s wife said: “Yes, let’s leave before sunrise.” They didn’t want to leave! They were too attached to the things they had there in Sodom and Gomorrah; and Lot’s position there was very important too.
So, they were doing well financially, and socially, and politically, but the city, those cities were going to be destroyed; and if they were going to be destroyed, they would lose everything, and they didn’t have time to take anything from there, instead they had to flee and escape for their lives.
And now, notice that this is the condition of mankind at this end time.
But remember that Abraham was safe, he was at peace there at the top of the mountain with everything he had; because the judgment wasn’t coming for Abraham and his group up there, rather, it was coming for the world, for Sodom and Gomorrah, where Lot unfortunately was.
And Lot, together with his family, notice, is a type and figure of the foolish virgins who will go through the Great Tribulation, and who will lose everything; but Abraham is a type and figure of God’s elect who will be living at the Last Day.
Now, notice how God appeared to Abraham before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and He had also appeared to Abraham previously on many occasions.
And now, notice how later on, when Elohim—who is the same Melchizedek—was made flesh, He appeared among Abraham’s seed according to the flesh (the Hebrew people) two thousand years ago; He visited the Hebrew people in human flesh.
And that is why on one occasion, around chapter, let’s see, chapter 10… Let’s see which chapter it was. Chapter 6 (let me search here)… Chapter 8 (it was somewhere between 6 and 10). So, let’s look at [John] chapter 8, verses 56 and on, and let’s see what Jesus says here:
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?”
In other words, they are telling Him: “You are a liar. You are not even fifty years old, and You say that You have seen Abraham?”
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.”
Jesus Christ is giving them such good news here: “Before Abraham was, I am. He desired to see My day, he saw it and was glad.” He saw it and was glad when he ate with Elohim, and Elohim spoke to him, He revealed to him the secrets of Sarah’s heart, He made known to him that the promised son would come (they would have him the next year), and He made known to him the Divine Judgments that would come upon Sodom and Gomorrah. In other words, He spoke to them about the coming of the promised son, and He also spoke to them about the coming of the Divine Judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
And we find that Elohim would also speak to us about these things at the end time: He would speak to us about the promised Son, that is, the Second Coming Christ, and He would also speak to us about the Divine Judgment that will fall upon the human race during the Great Tribulation.
That Divine Judgment of the Great Tribulation that will come, would be revealed, made known, to God’s elect, represented in Abraham; so, all these revelations would be made known to Abraham’s seed.
And now, we find that Jesus says: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He was: not only in the time of Abraham, but also before Abraham.
John the Baptist, on one occasion when he was preaching, speaking about Christ, notice what he says (this is around chapter 1 of Saint John). It says… chapter 1, verse 25 and on, says:
“And they asked him,” (John), “and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me…”
Now notice, the One who is before John the Baptist was coming after John the Baptist.
“[He] is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.”
Now, he goes on to say:
“These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.”
And now, notice how John identifies Jesus as the One who would come after him.
“And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.”
Now, notice how John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the One that he is testifying will come after him, but who is before him, He is before John the Baptist.
Jesus says: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He is also before Abraham, He is also before Noah, He was also before Moses, He was before Enoch, He was before Methuselah, He was before Adam, too; because He is the Creator of all things: “All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.”
Because our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is the Jehovah of the Old Testament, who created a body of flesh for Himself in Mary’s womb, and when that body of flesh was born, the Jehovah of the Old Testament dwelt there, and had His three-and-a-half-year ministry.
The Angel of the Lord came as God had promised through the Prophet Malachi in chapter 3. The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, came in the form of a Man, of a Prophet, called Jesus. It was promised in Malachi chapter 3, verse 1 and on, that He would come, when He said:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me…”
Who was that messenger He would send before Him? It was John the Baptist. And who would come after him? The Messiah, the Angel of the Lord. Let’s see:
“…And the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple…”
Whom were the Hebrew people seeking? The Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Elohim, who appeared to Abraham the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ate with Abraham, and Abraham called Him Elohim, which is ‘Lord.’
And now the Lord would come, Elohim would come to the Hebrew people.
“…And the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in.”
Who is this Lord that will come? It’s the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who is God Himself with His theophanic body. Now, He is promised to come in human form, in the form of a Man, among the Hebrew people, with a body of flesh.
And now, notice:
“…Behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Who will come? “The Messenger of the Covenant, whom you delight in.” They desired the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh, they desired the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, who was in a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and who on many occasions appeared in that visible form, in the form of a Man of another dimension, and on other occasions they only saw a light; but inside, in there, was a Man of another dimension who spoke to His prophets.
Moses was told by the Angel of the Lord, when He was in that flame of fire, He told him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”10 And He appeared to Moses in a visible form on other occasions;11 and He had also appeared to Abraham, and also to other prophets of God.
And now, we can see that when He sent His messenger before Him, which was John the Baptist, then the Word who was with God and was God appeared: He appeared in a visible form, in a human form, in that body which was born in Bethlehem of Judea through the virgin Mary, and was known by the Name of Jesus. That was none other than the Angel of the Lord in His physical body among the Hebrew people, appearing in a visible form. It was none other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob appearing in the form of a Man, in the form of a Prophet.
And that is why we find that Jesus spoke to the winds or to the sea and they obeyed Him;12 and He could multiply the loaves and fishes, because He was the Creator.13 He could create sight for the blind, He could heal the sick, He could cast out devils.
And there were even times when those spirits that were in some people asked Jesus why Jesus was coming to them to torment them before the time, and they told Him that they knew who He was. They said that they knew He was the Son of God; and they trembled when they saw Jesus coming, because they were seeing that He was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who was coming in a body of flesh; but they knew who was in that body.14
And now, notice that those evil spirits knew more than even the religious leaders of that time; because the religious leaders said that Jesus was Beelzebub, in other words, they said that Beelzebub was in Jesus performing those miracles and all those things;15 but when those with evil spirits saw Jesus, the evil spirits that were in those people didn’t say that Jesus was Beelzebub, they didn’t say that Jesus was the devil, they said: “You are the Son of God.”16 See? They knew who Jesus was.
And now, notice how Elohim, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, was among the human race; and the Hebrew people themselves didn’t even realize that Elohim was with them, the Melchizedek who had appeared to Abraham and had given him bread and wine; and then, later on, Abraham gave bread and he gave calf meat, and so on, to Elohim.
Now, notice how the Almighty God in His theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is in the form of a body of this dimension, but from another dimension… and what does God in that theophanic body of the sixth dimension look like? Well, He looks like us: like a man, but from another dimension; and He is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.
And He appeared in the form of a Prophet, among the Hebrew people, called Jesus, to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross; with His own body and His own Blood of His own physical body, He carried out His Work of Redemption.
And then He presented Himself on the Throne which is in Heaven as High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, taking His own Blood, which He offered to cleanse us from all sin; and He applied it in Heaven, in the Intercessory Place in Heaven, on the Mercy Seat, to thus make intercession until the very last elect of God has come into the mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And once the very last elect has come in, He finishes His Work of Intercession there in Heaven.
And now, we have seen that Jesus Christ, notice, is the beginning of the Creation of God: both in His theophanic body and in His physical body, we find that He is the first, the beginning, the Firstborn, the beginning of the new Creation, the beginning of that new race.
Because through Adam, we find that we have come to this Earth sentenced to death, we have come to a mankind that is in death, spiritual death, and with the death sentence to be cast into the lake of fire.
But through the second Adam, Jesus Christ, by believing in Him as our Savior and washing away our sins in His Blood and receiving His Holy Spirit, we obtain a new birth: we are born into the Kingdom of God, we are born into the mystical Body of Christ with Eternal Life; and that is how we obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, a body like the theophanic body of God, of Jesus Christ. And that is how we start off right: with Eternal Life.
Because when we were born on this Earth, we obtained a spirit of the world, and a body through the union of a man and a woman, and therefore, that body is temporary, and that spirit is also temporary.
But through the new birth, by believing in Christ as our Savior and receiving Him as our Savior and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit—we receive the new birth this way; and we now belong to a new Creation, of which Jesus Christ is first, He is the beginning of that new Creation.
That is why you find that Christ, notice, obtained His theophanic body before the creation of the universe; and then, He obtained His physical body by Divine Creation in Mary’s womb. It wasn’t through the union of a man and a woman, but by Divine Creation. And He dwelt in that body created by God.
And He said: “No man takes My life from Me, I lay it down of Myself to take it again.”17 He said: “Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone;”18 meaning that Jesus Christ would still be living here on Earth in that body called Jesus of Nazareth, and meanwhile the human race would have disappeared because the day that Jesus died on Calvary’s Cross was the day that every human being had to die under the Divine Judgments.
But because He took our sins, when the time came for God to pour out His Divine Judgment upon the human race, all the sins were where? They were in One person alone: in Jesus Christ; and the Divine Judgment fell upon Jesus Christ. And that is why, when He died, He had to go to hell, where all human beings had to go. He went to hell, because the wages of sin is death,19 and then the person has to go to hell (in spirit) and live there.
But since Christ took our sins, He became mortal, He died, and then He had to go to hell in Spirit; but we find that He also obtained the victory against the devil there, and He took the keys of hell and death away from him.20
He preached there in hell. Christ preached in hell? That is in the Bible. Christ went to hell? Well, of course He did, because He had taken our sins, so that we don’t have to go to hell, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Eternal Life.
Foolish is he who doesn’t receive Christ as His Savior and wash away his sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit! A person would be a fool if he doesn’t believe in Christ and wash away his sins in the Blood of Christ, and doesn’t receive His Holy Spirit. Why would he be a fool? Because then that person has to die for his own sins and go to hell. And who is going to get him out of there?
Now, notice, in First Peter chapter 3, verse 18 and on, it says:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison…”
How did He go and preach to the spirits in prison? By the Spirit. In other words, in that theophanic body of the sixth dimension, Jesus went to hell, to the fifth dimension, and preached there; He preached to the spirits in prison.
“…Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”
Only eight people were saved in the time of Noah. See?
Anyone may say: “But if God poured out the Divine Judgment upon the human race, millions would be destroyed.” Look at the time of Noah: only eight people were saved, and there were millions of human beings; but Noah offered God the sacrifice for sin—of those animals, which God had established—and his sins were covered by the blood of those sacrifices.
And at the end time, everyone is required to have their sins—not covered, but taken away; and there is only one Sacrifice that takes away the sin of the human being: and that is the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
And every person who has not received Christ as his Savior and washed away his sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Holy Spirit: will have to go through the judgments of the Great Tribulation during the three and a half years that will come.
But those who have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit: have been born again, and are without sin; and Christ will take them to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, which will last three and a half years; and we will go in eternal and glorified bodies which we will receive soon, at this end time, at this Last Day: the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive will be changed; and then we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, while mankind will be going through the Divine Judgments of the Great Tribulation.
Now, we have seen that Jesus Christ is the Firstborn of Heaven; and if He is the Firstborn of Heaven, then there are more sons and daughters of God of Heaven. Those people are the ones whose names are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Saint Paul the Apostle speaks about them in his Letter to the Hebrews, in chapter 12, verse 22 and on, where he says:
“…But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven…”
“The General Assembly and Church of the firstborn, which are written in Heaven.” The General Assembly and Church of the firstborn is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which has the firstborn whose names are written in Heaven; and they are God’s sons and daughters through the second Adam, through Jesus Christ, the Firstborn of God.
And now, through Jesus Christ, the Firstborn of God, He gives us of His own Spirit, and thus, we obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is a body like our body, but of another dimension: of the sixth dimension, of the dimension of Melchizedek; of that sixth dimension, from which Melchizedek, Elohim, the Word that was with God and was God and is God, created all things.
And we find that by having His Spirit, of His Spirit, we are firstborn of God; because He is the Firstborn of God, the Firstborn of Heaven.
And now, all the children of Christ, through the new birth, belong to the Family of God’s firstborn, of the firstborn of Heaven, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, to live for all eternity with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and to be kings and priests in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Kings and priests, of which order?
Well, anyone may wonder: “And how can that be, if I do not belong to the tribe of Levi? If I am not a descendant of Aaron either, and they were the ones who carried out the duties of the temple?” Don’t worry, there is a higher Order: the Order of Melchizedek of the Temple which is in Heaven; and for that Order and of that Order, we are kings and priests; just as Melchizedek is the King of Peace, King of Salem and of Righteousness, and Priest of the Most High God.
And now, we are kings and priests of whom? Of the Most High God, because we are children of Melchizedek, Jesus Christ our Savior; and thus, we are children of the Firstborn of Heaven, children of Jesus Christ, the Firstborn of Heaven, the Firstborn of God, the beginning of the Creation of God.
And now, notice how through Christ we are obtaining a theophanic body by Divine Creation; and at the Last Day, at this time in which we are living, we will receive a physical body created by God, created by Christ; and so will the dead in Christ, in which they will rise.
And then we will have the eternal and perfect theophanic body, and the eternal, perfect, and glorified physical body, to live with Christ for all eternity, in the Millennium and for all eternity, as kings and priests in His Kingdom; and thus, to inherit all things with Christ.
We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FIRSTBORN OF HEAVEN,” where we have also seen that we are firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; and that is why we have come through Jesus Christ, the Firstborn of God, the beginning of the Creation of God.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Firstborn of Heaven, the beginning of the Creation of God, be upon each one of you and also upon me. And soon may all the elect who are yet to be called and gathered: be called and gathered, and may the number of all the firstborn written in Heaven be completed. And soon may we all be changed and have the new body; and may the dead in Christ be raised and also be with us here on Earth. And after being here for thirty to forty days, in the new body, may we go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, as it is promised. In the Eternal Name of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
May God continue to bless you all, may God keep you. And onward serving Jesus Christ our beloved Savior, the Firstborn of Heaven, the beginning of the Creation of God.
And we will see each other in the glorious Millennial Kingdom, reigning with Christ, and we will continue to see each other for all eternity.
Until the next time I will be with you again: whether it’s in this mortal body or in the new body; either way, we will see each other again. And when we see each other in the new body, we will no longer have the earthly problems we have nowadays. But seeing each other in these mortal bodies is also a great blessing, because this way we share the Word of God and this way we can see the Divine Program that He has for our time; and thus, we can be prepared to soon be changed and raptured, and to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Never turn away from our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; He will give us a new body and He will take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. There is no hope outside of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. So, onward serving our beloved Lord Jesus Christ with all our heart.
May God bless you, and may everyone have a happy day filled with the blessings of Christ.
And we will see each other tonight… let’s say “tonight,” even though it is still daylight at that time, but in many places, after 6:00 they already say “tonight,” even though it is still daylight.
Well, we will see each other in the next service, from 7:00 to 7:30 (around there); we will see each other to continue seeing the Divine Program pertaining to our time and the great blessings that He has for each one of you and for me, too.
May God continue to bless you all, may God keep you. And I will leave the minister here, of this place, with you again.
May God bless you and keep you all.
