The Mystery of the Rewards

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present here in Tigre, Buenos Aires. It is a great blessing to be with you here in Argentina, to share with you some moments of fellowship with you around the Program of God, and to see our subject for this occasion: “THE MYSTERY OF THE REWARDS,” which is contained in the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

We can see that from Genesis to Revelation, it speaks to us about Divine Rewards, and we are going to see this mystery this evening.

For this reason, we will read Revelation chapter 22, verse 12, where it says (Christ says):

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

May God allow us to understand this mystery of the rewards, may He open our understanding, and bless us; and may He give everyone according to their works at this Last Day. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Every human being has the opportunity to live on this Earth when he is born on this Earth, and the entire journey of his life will have a reward; because in the entire journey of his life, the human being has always been working, doing something in his life, and he will have his reward.

And now, we find that God will give every human being his reward “according as his work shall be,” our beloved Lord Jesus Christ says here.

This reward is for the Last Day, when the Coming of the Son of man will be fulfilled among the human race. That is when human beings begin to receive the reward for their works; this is for those who will be living here on Earth at this end time.

Those who departed in past ages or past dispensations and past generations will receive their reward when they are presented before the Presence of God; when they rise they will receive their reward from God, whether it is good or bad.

The reward will depend on the works carried out by people here on Earth.

Now, we can see that Christ tells us in Saint Matthew chapter 16, verses 24 to 28:

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death,” (meaning, they will not see death), “till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”

And then, six days later, He took Peter, James, and John (the brother of James), and brought them up into a high mountain apart, called Mount Transfiguration; and… (that is what we call it). And on that mountain, He was transfigured before His disciples: His face shone as the sun, His raiment was as white as the light, shining as the light, and Moses and Elijah appeared there.¹

Since this is a vision: this is the Coming of the Kingdom of God with His Angels, and the Son of man coming in the Kingdom of His Father with His Angels, which at the Last Day will be fulfilled as it was shown here in the vision of Mount Transfiguration.

Because the Second Coming of Christ, which is the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels, is with His face as the sun. And what does His face as the sun mean? His face as the sun represents Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords, because the sun is the king of the stars, and Jesus Christ is the Light of the world;² and He is the King of kings and Lord of lords for the entire world.

And now, notice how the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels in the Kingdom of His Father, we find that it is the greatest event promised for human beings, to be fulfilled at the Last Day, to be fulfilled at this time in which we are living. That is the greatest mystery of all Divine mysteries.

That is the mystery under the Seventh Seal; and when the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven there was silence, the opening of that Seventh Seal caused silence there in Heaven.³

No one in Heaven nor on Earth knew when the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels would be; but that mystery was opened in Heaven when the Seventh Seal was opened, and everyone in Heaven knew, understood that mystery; and they stayed silent so that the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels would not be interrupted on Earth, meaning, so that the Divine Program pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels at the Last Day would not be interrupted.

And now, notice that the Coming of Christ at the Last Day, which is the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels, is to reward everyone according to their works. That is why the human race will have its reward, every human being will have their reward.

Now, what will be the reward of each one of you? It has to be in the Scripture.

Now, throughout the Scripture we have the parable—given by Jesus Christ—of the wheat and the tares;⁴ because in His parables Christ spoke about the rewards, He spoke about what will happen to human beings at the end time; that is in the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels.

Because at the end time, at the end of the world, which is the time of the Harvest, it says that the Son of man will send His Angels.⁵

And what will He send His Angels for? And what will the son of man be on Earth for? To reward everyone according to their work.

And now, notice Christ says that the tares will be bound in bundles and cast into a furnace of fire, where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth; and that is none other than the children of the wicked one represented in the tares, because Christ, explaining the parable of the tares, said that the tares are the children of the wicked one.

Notice, He says so here: Saint Matthew chapter 13, verse 37 and on, says… explaining the parable, He says:

“He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom,” (meaning, the children of God), “but the tares are the children of the wicked one,” (the children of the wicked one, meaning, the children of the devil, are the tares in this parable);

“The enemy that sowed them,” (meaning, that sowed the tares), “is the devil; the harvest,” (in other words, the reaping), “is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”

See? Here the Angels appear again, because the Coming of the Son of man to reward everyone according to their works is with His Angels. It says:

“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

Now, notice what will become of the tares, of the children of the wicked one: they will be cast into the furnace of fire, where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth; that is, they will be cast into the Great Tribulation, where the Divine Judgment will fall upon the human race.

And the Prophet Malachi tells us in chapter 4 what that time of the Great Tribulation will be like. Chapter 4, verse 1 and on, says:

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”

That is the reward for those who do wickedly, that is the reward for the tares, the children of the wicked one; that is the reward for the proud, according to Malachi chapter 4, verse 1; which is in harmony with the Words of Jesus Christ: that the tares, the children of the wicked one, will be cast into the furnace of fire, where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And why the furnace of fire? And why does it speak to us here about the day that shall burn as an oven? Because at that time radioactivity will be unleashed and atomic fire will burn the children of the wicked one. That is why it tells us about the furnace of fire: because during those three and a half years of the Great Tribulation, atomic fire will be unleashed and it will burn the tares; and the atomic fire is already stored.

Just as the water of the flood was stored (where?) in the clouds; when it rained, well, the water was already stored in the clouds.

And the atomic fire is also already stored: they have it stored in nuclear equipment, like bombs and reactors and so on.

And if all of that radioactivity is unleashed, what happens to mankind in the territories where that radioactivity is unleashed? Well, mankind is burned up. That is what the Scripture says, and notice how that prophecy will be fulfilled.

Now notice, when God said that a flood would come, notice, later on, at the appointed time and on the relevant day, clouds appeared. At first they were not visible, but God, who knows the formula and who made the formula for water, well, He knew that by combining hydrogen [H] and oxygen [O] water is formed; and well, notice how He gives us water every day, He gives us H2O combined, which is water.

Now notice, God also knows how to store water up there. If you try to store it, you can’t, but God can; He knows how to do it. And when you look at the clouds (which are made of water), you see water up there, and you say, “But it doesn’t fall.” But when God determines it, at a certain time when it reaches a certain stage, water falls from the sky.

And now, notice how it also rained fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah; not water, but fire and brimstone.⁶

And at the end time, we have the prophecy that it will be a day that shall burn as an oven, which will burn up the tares. That is what will be the reward for the children of the wicked one; that will be the reward for the proud, for those who do wickedly. “The day that is coming will burn them up, saith God.” In other words, it is not a matter of a person saying this will happen, rather, God already said it since the Old Testament.

And what will become of God’s elect, of God’s sons and daughters? Well, regarding them, it goes on to say here on verse 2 of chapter 4 of Malachi:

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”

That will be the reward for God’s sons and daughters: the Sun of righteousness shall rise, and that is the Second Coming of Christ. Because Christ is the Sun of righteousness, who, on a new dispensational Day, appears manifested on the morning of a new dispensational Day and of a new millennial Day.

When God speaks to us about the Last Day in the Scripture, in which He will raise the dead in Christ, according to the Words of Jesus in Saint John chapter 6, verses 39 to 54; that Last Day, which is the Lord’s Day, is the seventh millennium; because one day before the Lord is like a thousand years to us, Saint Peter the Apostle tells us in his Second Letter, chapter 3, verse 8; and the Prophet Moses also tells us this in Psalm 90, verse 4.

And now notice, when He speaks to us about the Last Days, He is speaking to us about the last millenniums.

When Jesus Christ was preaching on Earth, [people] were already living at the Last Days, because the Last Days before God, are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium to human beings. And when Jesus was four to seven years old, the fifth millennium began, and therefore, the Last Days before God began; during which the Messiah would be preaching here on Earth in His First Coming under His Ministry as the Lamb of God, to take away the sin of the world at the end of His ministry.

And then the Holy Spirit would come upon the believers in Christ, from age to age, beginning on the day of Pentecost. Throughout all those Last Days, which are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium, God would be pouring out of His Spirit upon all flesh, according to the Divine Promise.

And now, notice how these Last Days are the three last millenniums, which are: the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium. And if we add to the calendar the years it is behind, then we are already in the seventh millennium.

And only two days have passed before God, but to human beings, two thousand years have passed since Jesus Christ; two thousand years if we add to the calendar the years it is behind.

Now we can see this mystery of the Last Days and see that they are the three last millenniums: the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium. And we can see the mystery of the Last Day, which is the mystery of the seventh millennium, in which the Coming of the Son of man will be in fulfillment for God’s sons and daughters; and the Son of man will be coming with His Angels to reward everyone according to their works.

Now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ—who is His mystical Body of believers, which are those kings and priests, the people who are the royal priesthood, the holy nation—has been going through different stages.

Since the days of Jesus Christ, we find that He has been working among mankind, in the midst of mankind; and we find that on the day of Pentecost the first people were born into the Kingdom of God: one hundred and twenty people received the new birth;⁷ which Christ spoke to Nicodemus about, saying: “Verily, verily, I say unto you: Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God,” meaning, he cannot understand It.

Nicodemus thought this meant being born again but through a woman, and he thought of being born again through his mother. And what if his mother was dead or very old? Because he asked, “How can these things be? Can a man, when he is old…?” And if he says: “a man when he is old,” that is because he is referring to himself, who was already old. And if he was old, how old would his mother be? Even older, more elderly, if she was alive; and if she wasn’t alive, this was an even bigger problem for Nicodemus, because how could he be born again if his mother had already died? Or if she was alive, how could he be born again through his elderly mother?

Notice what a childish question: “Can a man, when he is old, enter into his mother’s womb and be born again?” But Christ was speaking to him about a new birth; and since it was a new birth, it was also in a new way.

And now, He says to him:

[John 3:5-7] “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”

Now, this new birth is the one obtained by that group of one hundred and twenty people on the day of Pentecost, when the Spirit of Christ came down and brought forth the new birth there; It went into those one hundred and twenty believers in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ who had washed away their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

In order for a person to receive the Spirit of Christ: he needs to believe in Christ as his Savior and wash away his sins in the Blood of Christ, in order to receive the Spirit of Christ, and thus for the new birth to be brought forth in the person; and thus, to be born into the Kingdom of God.

No one can come into the mystical Body of Christ, in other words, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, unless it’s through the new birth.

And by being born again: he is born in the Kingdom of God, he is a new creature, and he belongs to Heaven; he has a theophanic body, he obtains a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, meaning, a theophanic spirit, and he has already started a new life with Eternal Life.

And Christ said in Saint John chapter 5, verse 24:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

When we were born here on Earth, we were born among a race that is dead before God; because of the sin there in the garden of Eden, the race died before God. “In the day that you eat thereof, that day you will die.”⁸ And the human being lost the rights to Eternal Life, they died to Eternal Life; they lost the right to eat from the Tree of Life and they lost the right to everything eternal that the human being had.

And that is why since the time of the fall of the human being, people are born here on Earth, they receive a spirit of the world, and they receive a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body of this Earth; and after a certain amount of time passes, let’s say, fifty to one hundred years or one hundred and twenty-five years, the body has become older each day, and it has been declining; and the lights that it had at birth, after a certain number of years it only has one left; and when it reaches the age of seventy and eighty, it has one, and it is very worn out.

It’s like flashlights: when the battery’s charge runs out, the flashlight shines in such a way that you can hardly see what it is shining on. That is how the human being is when he passes the age of seventy or eighty: he feels exhausted in life. He is exhausted already, and what is it? It’s because, due to the fall in the garden of Eden, the human being lost the right to Eternal Life, he lost the right to have an eternal body, and that is why we have obtained a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body; and when it reaches a certain time, it must die.

Now, in that period of time since the person is born until he dies, God has given the human being the opportunity to seek God, to wash away his sins in the Blood of Christ believing in Christ as his Savior, and to receive the Spirit of Christ, to pass from death to Life; and to obtain a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension.

And when he receives the Spirit of Christ, he receives a spirit with Eternal Life; and a spirit with Eternal Life, a theophanic body, is a body similar to this one but from another dimension: from the sixth dimension. And he already has his theophanic body of the sixth dimension with Eternal Life, and all he needs is a physical body with Eternal Life, an eternal physical body in which he can live for all eternity; and that is the one Christ has promised to give His children at this end time; which Christ spoke of in Saint John chapter 6, verses 39 to 40, when He said:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

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.”

He will raise all His believers who have died in the past, who had received Christ as their Savior, washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ, and received His Holy Spirit.

It doesn’t matter that their physical bodies have died, because what died was the mortal, corruptible, and temporary body; but those people are in Paradise, living in their theophanic bodies, and they will return at the Last Day, meaning, in the seventh millennium; and they will return in eternal bodies, and we who are alive will be changed; and we will have an eternal and glorious body, as Christ has promised for each of His children. And that is truly a great reward for each of you, and also for me.

No matter how much the human being has roamed, notice, what he is looking for is immortality. He goes one way and he goes another way, searching for this or that, but notice, immortality is behind everything he’s looking for; because if he obtains immortality, well, he obtains it all. So, by obtaining immortality, he will obtain all things.

Now, Christ has promised immortality for all His believers.

Saint Paul the Apostle, speaking of the time when the dead in Christ will rise and we will be changed, tells us the following:

“And as we have borne the image of the earthy…”

First Corinthians chapter 15, verse 49 and on:

“And as we have borne the image of the earthy,” (meaning, of Adam), “we shall also bear the image of the heavenly,” (that is, of Jesus Christ).

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”

In other words, a corruptible body cannot live eternally, it cannot continue to live without corruption setting in. The time comes when it dies, and corruption sets into that body. It goes on to say:

“Behold, I shew you a mystery;” (it is one of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God), “We shall not all sleep,” (in other words, we won’t all die), “but we shall all be changed.”

A transformation is coming for the bodies of God’s sons and daughters, both for us who are alive and for those who died in the past, because they will rise in eternal bodies, and that will be a glorified body, a changed body, a body with Eternal Life. And when will this be? Saint Paul says:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump.”

He speaks to us about a Trumpet here. It is very important to take this Trumpet into account; he says:

“…At the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”

And from that point on, there is no more death that can make God’s sons and daughters mortal. From that point on, death has no power over our bodies. From that point on, we will be in immortal bodies, glorified bodies, and we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, this promise is for which time? It says:

“…At the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound.”

Christ also spoke to us about a Great Trumpet in Matthew chapter 24, verse 31, when He said:

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.”

It is the same Trumpet, it is the Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached.

And with that Great Voice of Trumpet, which is a dispensational Message, all of God’s elect at the Last Day will be called and gathered and prepared to be changed, and thus obtain the eternal body that Christ has promised for us; and the dead in Christ will be changed. That is why it is so important to hear this Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the Last Day.

The Last Day, as I told you, is the seventh millennium; and at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, is when the seventh dispensation opens, which is the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached, which is the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, with which all of God’s elect are called and gathered in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, so that we who are alive may be changed at the Last Day and so that the dead in Christ may be raised.

For the Son of man comes to reward everyone according to their works, to give everyone according to their works. And for the believers in Christ who have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit, the reward will be a new body, an eternal body promised by Christ, to live for all eternity with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And along with that reward of the new body will be all the other rewards, because by obtaining that eternal body, we will obtain immortality, we will obtain perfection, we will be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, and we will inherit the Kingdom of God. And we will be in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ as kings and priests reigning with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity.

Revelation chapter 1, verses 4 and on, says the following, it says:

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

What did He make us? Kings and priests unto our God.

And in chapter 5 of Revelation, verses 8 to 10, it tells us:

“…When he had taken the book,” (meaning, when the Lamb Jesus Christ took the Book out of the right hand of Him who sits on the Throne), “the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

We shall reign on the Earth in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

In Revelation chapter 20, verse 4 and on, it tells us:

“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

Will we reign with Christ or not? It says here that yes, we will reign! And we say: “Amen! That’s right!”

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.”

In other words, the rest of the dead are the ones who aren’t God’s firstborn; although among the rest who will rise later on, after the glorious Millennial Kingdom, one part will go into Eternal Life and the other part will be cast into the lake of fire. It says:

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”

See? What are they? Kings and priests. They are a royal priesthood, a holy nation that which Christ has, and who are of the Order of Melchizedek; just as Jesus Christ is Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, because He is that Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham and gave Abraham bread and wine.⁹

He is the Melchizedek of the Old Testament, He is the Elohim of the Old Testament, He is the Jehovah of the Old Testament, and He is the Angel of the Lord of the Old Testament; that is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and that is why He said: “Before Abraham was, I am,” and He also said: “Abraham desired to see My day; he saw it, and was glad.”¹⁰

The day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, God was visiting Abraham, Elohim [was] visiting Abraham with His Archangels Gabriel and Michael. And He was there eating with Abraham a meal that Abraham prepared Him. He had prepared Him a tender calf with some cakes and different things that went with that meal. Elohim, God, Jesus Christ in theophany was there, eating with Abraham; and Abraham was seeing Him and rejoicing there.¹¹

Then, Elohim, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, created a body of flesh for Himself in Mary’s womb; He created a cell of life there that multiplied and formed the body of Jesus, and that body was born in Bethlehem of Judea. And God, Elohim, Melchizedek, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, dwelt in that body, and He was Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us, according to the promise of God through the Prophet Isaiah in chapter 7, verse 14, where it says: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name,” (what?) “Immanuel,” which being interpreted is: God with us.

It was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob visiting the Hebrew people in human flesh, in that veil of flesh called Jesus, which died on Calvary’s Cross as the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. And all those sacrifices that the Hebrew people carried out were fulfilled in Him: [sacrifices] of animals, sheep, goats, and of the red heifer; all those sacrifices have been fulfilled in the Person of Jesus Christ dying on Calvary’s Cross.

And that is why we find that from that point on, no more sacrifices for sin have been needed; and the Hebrew people don’t even have their temple where they carried out those sacrifices anymore; and because they don’t have those sacrifices and they haven’t received the Sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, and the Atonement for sin: the Hebrew people have been suffering great persecutions, and they have been enduring the Divine Judgments, because their sins have not been covered, neither with the blood of goats and sheep, nor have they been covered by the Blood of Christ because they rejected Christ.

And God no longer accepts animal sacrifices either, because the perfect Sacrifice, the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God, was already carried out on Calvary’s Cross; and when that which is perfect came, then that which was in part was done away with.¹²

What was in part were those animal sacrifices; they were no longer needed. Those sacrifices with their shed blood only covered the sin of the human being; but the Blood of Christ takes it away, and by taking it away, the person is justified; in other words, the person stands as if he had never sinned in his life: sin is not found in the person, he is justified before God.

And the person receives the Spirit of Christ, where the manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit is a reality for the person, and guides him into all righteousness and all truth every day of his life.¹³ And thus, the person has a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, so that then, at the Last Day, we may obtain the physical and glorified body that Christ has promised for all of us, to live in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ for all eternity, and to reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity.

Now notice, that is the group of the kings and priests, which the Scripture speaks about here. That is the group of the royal priests, the royal priesthood;¹⁴ those are the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And we find that this whole mystical Body of believers began there in Jerusalem, by one hundred and twenty people being born again; and from that point on, people continued to be born by the thousands.

Then the Work of Christ went on to the Gentiles, He sent Saint Paul to the Gentiles there in Asia Minor, and the first age of the Church of Jesus Christ among the Gentiles was fulfilled there. And from there, the Work of Christ went on to Europe, Christ in Holy Spirit went on to Europe, and five stages or ages of His Church were fulfilled in Europe, where He sent five messengers in different ages.

And then, from there He went on to North America, where He sent His seventh angel-messenger for the seventh age of the Gentile Church or seventh stage of the Gentile Church, and forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; and if you will receive him, he was Rev. William Branham.

He is the Elijah who was to come forerunning the Second Coming of Christ. And he said, like John the Baptist, that after him would come the one he was announcing and preparing the way for.¹⁵ And he said [The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, “The Seventh Seal,” page 552]:

“[327] There won’t be two of us here the same time. See? If it is, he’ll increase; I’ll decrease.”

In other words, if the forerunner remains alive when the one forerun appears, then the forerunner will decrease and the one forerun will increase.

When that was also fulfilled two thousand years ago, in the First Coming of Christ, the forerunner John the Baptist was there, and so was the One forerun, who was Jesus. And when they tell John the Baptist, “Look, the One to whom you bore witness, now more people follow Him than you, and He baptizes more people than you,” though Jesus didn’t baptize, but the disciples of Jesus. John the Baptist says: “He must increase, but I must decrease.”¹⁶

John the Baptist… The forerunner is always represented in the evening sun; and the evening sun must (what?) decrease, it decreases.

Notice, at three or four in the afternoon, the sun starts going down, by six or seven at night, depending on the season (if it’s summer, sundown is much later), but it will go down anyway, the evening sun must decrease.

And John was the evening sun shining there, enlightening those people, and preparing them for the First Coming of Christ. But Jesus Christ said: “I am the Light of the world.” And when the sun comes out in the morning, it comes out to go around the entire world. And now, Christ as the Light of the world, as the rising Sun, had to (what?) increase.

Notice, in the morning (for those who wake up early) the sun starts appearing like a brightness in the East, that is where daybreak begins, and it starts to look brighter and brighter, the light of the sun shines more and more until the perfect day. In other words, the sun must increase, it must continue increasing, until the day is perfect and the sun is seen shining in all its strength and enlightening every human being. And when the sun increases and enlightens that way, we can then see things without the need for light from lamps, or light from the stars or light from the moon; the moon isn’t needed anymore, neither are the morning stars or the stars that shined at night.

And that is how it is at this end time: We had the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, also represented in the evening light, who said that he must decrease; but the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels is the Light of the morning of a new dispensational Day and a new millennial Day; and it must increase, shine more and more light each day, until the perfect day.

And this way, as the light increases, we all see the Scriptures and the meaning of those Scriptures more clearly; because the Light of the Sun of Righteousness, which is Christ in His Coming with His Angels, enlightens our understanding and our soul, and opens the Scriptures to us so that we can understand all these Divine mysteries relevant to this end time; and thus, we can know where we are at this Last Day.

Notice, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit had gone from the land of Israel to the land of Asia Minor, where the first age was; then He went on to Europe, where five ages were fulfilled; then He went on to North America, where the seventh Gentile Church age was fulfilled; and from there, where has the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, gone to? Well, to Latin America and the Caribbean, to the territory where He has put us, to see His Program pertaining to this Last Day, and to see the Light of the Sun of Righteousness rising, and shining more and more each day, so that the day is perfect and everything is seen exactly as it is, and the Scriptures are completely opened, and we understand the content of those Scriptures, and thus, we obtain the blessings of Jesus Christ at this Last Day.

Now, notice, the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ was a prophet: the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ was a prophet, just as the forerunner of the First [Coming] was a prophet; and the One forerun—the One forerun back then, two thousand years ago—by the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, was what? A prophet too.

The forerunner was a prophet and the One forerun was another prophet, but that other prophet was a prophet greater than the previous one. John the Baptist was a great prophet, but our beloved Lord Jesus Christ was greater.

John the Baptist was the last prophet of the Dispensation of the Law; he was the prophet of the seventh stage or age of the Hebrew Church under the Law, of the Hebrew people under the Law. He was not a dispensational prophet, but the prophet of an age. But He who came after him, the One who came after him, whose way he prepared: Jesus Christ, is a dispensational prophet, in other words, greater than John the Baptist.

John rightly stated: “He who comes after me is greater than me, and He is before me.” And He came (what?) after John: “He is before me and He comes after me.”

And how can we understand this? Jesus Christ is before John, not in His physical body, but in His theophanic body; because in his physical body, John the Baptist was born before Jesus; but Jesus Christ in His theophanic body is before John, He is before Moses, He is before Jacob, He is before Isaac, He is before Abraham, He is before Noah, He is before Enoch, He is before Adam, and He is before all of creation, because He is the Creator. Therefore:

“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.” (Saint John chapter 1, verse 1 and on.)

And in Saint John chapter 1, verse 14, it says: “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.” And when we saw Him, the Word that was with God and was God, made flesh, we knew Him by the Name of Jesus.

Jesus is none other than the Word made flesh, Jesus is none other than the Almighty God with His theophanic body inside a body of flesh. Jesus is none other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Jesus is none other than the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who spoke to Moses, who led Moses, who delivered the Hebrew people through Moses. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His theophanic body; and then He was made flesh and He was known by the Name of Jesus.

Notice what a great Person our beloved Savior Jesus Christ is. He is Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us.¹⁷

And now, notice how our beloved Savior paid the price of redemption so that we could return to Eternal Life; and that is why we go through this Earth in these mortal bodies: to come in contact with Eternal Life, with Jesus Christ: receive Him as our Savior, wash away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit, and thus have a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and have Eternal Life; and at the Last Day, obtain an eternal and glorious body, the glorified body that He has promised for each one of you and for me, and for the dead in Christ.

Not notice the great blessings that Christ has for each one of you, for me, and for the dead in Christ.

And at this end time, the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, the dead in Christ will rise in eternal bodies and we will be changed.

That is why at this time the Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom would be calling and gathering all of God’s elect, all of God’s sons and daughters whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

And since the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is in the stage of the Cornerstone Age, and that age is manifested, is fulfilled, in Latin America and the Caribbean, therefore, the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, the call of the Gospel of the Kingdom is in Latin America and the Caribbean.

And in Latin America and the Caribbean is where God has put most of His elect whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world; the elect who would be living (where?) at the Last Day.

And now, notice the reason why Latin America is where He would have His elect of the Last Day, the majority of them.

Perhaps some Latin American or Caribbean people have gone to other continents looking for better jobs, a better economic condition, but yet they are still Latin American and Caribbean people; and the Message reaches them wherever they are; and if their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, wherever they are they will say: “This is the Message I was waiting for.” They will believe. But the majority of the elect will be in Latin America and the Caribbean.

And we are living in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone, where a new dispensation: the Dispensation of the Kingdom, would open; and the Dispensation of the Kingdom has opened, the dispensation of the Kingdom is overlapping with the Dispensation of Grace.

We are in an overlap, where Christ has great blessings for all His children whom He calls. In this overlap, He calls them to a new age and to a new dispensation.

It is an overlap like there was in the time of the First Coming of Christ, where the overlap between the Dispensation of Law and the Dispensation of Grace was happening. And those who went on to the new dispensation: the Dispensation of Grace, with Jesus Christ, received the blessings of Jesus Christ; those who remained in the Dispensation of Law couldn’t receive the blessings of a new Dispensation.

That is also how it will be at this end time. The blessings pertaining to the Dispensation of the Kingdom for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are: the resurrection of the dead in Christ, the transformation of us who are alive, the call of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, and the rewards for all of God’s elect at this Last Day.

Now, since we are in the greatest and most glorious time of all times, we are waiting for our transformation. That is a blessing, it is a reward that He has promised for each one of us. He has said that we will be clothed in fine linen, clothed in white¹⁸: we will receive a transformed body, we will be changed and have that eternal body; and we will live for all eternity with Jesus Christ as kings and priests.

Now notice the great blessings that Christ has for each one of you and for me at this Last Day in which we are living.

And “our labor is not in vain in the Lord,” Saint Paul the Apostle says¹⁹; because everyone will receive the reward for their works. And during the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, once we are changed, and thus we have the new body, and we go with Christ to Heaven, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will last three and a half years, while mankind will be going through the Great Tribulation on Earth: there in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb we will be with Christ, receiving the rewards for the works we have carried out here on Earth in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Now we can see: “THE MYSTERY OF THE REWARDS;” because our labor is not in vain in the Lord: Christ will give the due reward.

The Son of man comes with His Angels to reward everyone according to their works:

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be,” (in other words, according to his work). Revelation chapter 22, verse 12.

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

May God give each one of you, and me, great rewards when He gives out those rewards at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and at this Last Day, may He also give us the reward of the eternal body, the new body that He has promised each one of you and also me. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present, radio listeners, and television viewers; and may we be changed and raptured soon.

Thank you very much, and have a good evening everyone.

I will leave the Pastor, Rev. Daniel, with us again to continue as you have scheduled for tonight.

May God bless you, and goodnight.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE REWARDS.”
