Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present here in Bogota, Colombia; and also those who are connected through the satellite and through the internet and different means of communication in different countries: there in Puerto Rico, in Venezuela, in Chile, in Guatemala, in Paraguay, in Argentina, in Peru, in El Salvador, in Mexico; in Austin, Texas, as well; and also there in Africa; and other countries that are connected tonight to this broadcast that we are carrying out.
For tonight, let’s read in Revelation, chapter 5, verse 1 and on, where the Scripture tells us:
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
And when he had taken the book, 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.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject is: “WE ARE BEING RUSHED FROM HEAVEN.”
In this Bible passage of the book of Revelation we find that when the time came for a person to take the Title Deed (which is the Book of the Seven Seals) out of the right hand of the One sitting on the Throne, meaning, God, no one was found worthy in Heaven, nor on Earth, nor under the Earth; no one was found worthy to take the Book and loosen those seven Seals; and so John wept much.
Why did John weep so much? It says here:
“And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to (read it).
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.”
It’s because that Book is the Title Deed of the Heavens and of the Earth, it is the Book of Eternal Life, it is the Title Deed of Eternal Life; it is the Lamb’s Book of Life, where the names of all the Father’s sheep are written, which were given to Christ to give them Eternal Life. There in that Book everything that would be redeemed by the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross is written.
And when the time came for that Book to be taken, which is the Title Deed, no one in Heaven, nor on Earth, nor under the Earth, was found worthy.
Adam had this Book, this Title Deed, when God placed him on this planet Earth; but when he sinned, God took It back, and It has remained in the right hand of God since that time.
The enemy of God, who is the devil, couldn’t take that Title Deed; if he were to take It, he would take over the planet Earth and the entire universe. Because in court, whoever legally has a title deed under his name, is the owner of that property. And whoever has the Title Deed of all Creation, of the Heavens and the Earth, is the owner of the whole universe; that is why it is in the right hand of God.
Now, God was the One who created the Heavens and the Earth, therefore, He is the owner, and He has the Title Deed.
God had given Adam this planet Earth to rule on this planet Earth over the fouls, over the animals, over the fish, and over the entire planet Earth; but Adam lost that right, that privilege, when he sinned; therefore, the Title Deed returned to the right hand of God. And now that Title Deed has remained in the right hand of God.
Now, Christ has been making intercession for all the people who are written in that Title Deed, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, which is the Book of the Seven Seals; that is why that Book is so important in Heaven. And that is why John wept so much: because if no one was found worthy to take that Book and open It, then everything would be lost.
Like in court, when the time comes to legally make the claim of a property, with the deed being presented and the heir of that property coming forward: there is a time period in which the claim of said property can be made. Otherwise, if the claim is not legally made, then it remains in the hands of the one who seized that property; and he can legally put it under his name, because he will be providing proof that such property is his.
But only the proof of the original Title of that Property… and whom did that property of the original owner go to? Whom did it go on to? The original owner is God and it has gone to the second Adam, who is Jesus Christ our Savior. That is why it is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, it is the Lamb’s Book of Life. But if He doesn’t come forward to make the claim in the time established by God in the heavenly Court, then He loses all the rights.
It’s like in court, where a person may have rights—the right to obtain something—, but there is a period of time to make the claim; and then, if you don’t make use of that time… and then you come and say: “Well, I am the owner of such property here,” but you came late, and you are told: “You no longer have that right, because you did not make use of the time provided for people who could make that claim. The time to make a claim is over now.” And that is how it is in the Supreme Court, where we find the Supreme Judge: God.
And therefore, that Title Deed must be opened in Heaven, so that Christ is declared heir there, so that He is given the Title Deed. And everything belongs to Christ, and therefore, to the elect of God; because Christ is the heir of God, and we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus, our Lord.1
Therefore, John wept a lot because everything was lost if the One who could take that Title Deed didn’t appear; and the only One who could take it was Christ, and He wasn’t appearing.
And what was happening? What was the reason why Christ wasn’t appearing? We have already seen the reason why John wept: all was lost if He didn’t appear in that divine cycle, in that period of time that was given for someone to take that Book.
And now, Jesus wasn’t appearing, and there was no one else who could make the claim; and the devil had taken over the planet Earth and the air; and therefore, the kingdom of the wicked one, which is the kingdom of darkness, has taken over all of mankind since the fall of the human being in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, the kingdoms of this world would continue until everything would gradually disappear, and the life of the human race would disappear, unless someone worthy to take that Title Deed appeared.
And why would everything disappear? Because since the heavenly Court was in session, it had been opened, the human race would be judged, and would be destroyed for its sin. But Christ being the Redeemer, and having died for the human being on Calvary’s Cross, is the only One who can make the claim and receive the Title Deed, and consequently, all the Divine inheritance.
And now, Christ wasn’t appearing and John wept much. That there, in this vision, was the most critical moment of all in this apocalyptic revelation, and the fulfillment of that apocalyptic cycle is the most critical moment for the human race.
Because this is the Divine cycle, which we are in, where Christ has to rise from the Throne of the Father and take the Title Deed in Heaven, open It in Heaven, carry out His Claiming Work, resurrect the dead believers in Him, and transform us who are alive. All of that is in the Claiming Work.
He is the only One who can carry out that Claiming Work and physically restore the human being to Eternal Life; because under Divine judgment, death comes upon the human race during the Divine cycle of the great tribulation; but before that, Christ must rise from the Father’s Throne and carry out His Claiming Work, and resurrect the dead in Christ, believers in Christ, into glorified, and eternal, and young bodies, and transform us who are alive; and then we will spend a period of time in those glorified and eternal and young bodies, let’s say, for about 30 to 40 days; just as Christ spent about 40 days when He resurrected from the dead, He was among His disciples, and He was preaching to them, speaking to them about the Kingdom, and also performing wonders and signs; but something private, something with His disciples.
And now, before the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, all these people who will be transformed, before going up to Heaven with Christ, before going to Heaven with Christ (before going to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with Christ after being transformed and the dead in Christ resurrected), there will be a period of time in which we will be experiencing the glorious manifestation of the children of God in glorified, eternal, and young physical bodies, just like the glorified and young physical body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. We will all be just like Jesus Christ: in His image and in His likeness.
But in order for us to obtain our transformation and for the dead in Christ to receive the resurrection in glorified bodies, Christ has to take that Title Deed and open It in Heaven; otherwise, everything will be lost. In other words, it is the most critical Divine cycle for the human race and for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But what is Christ doing that He isn’t coming forth and taking – to take that Book? Could He be so busy that He isn’t coming forth to take that Book, which is something so important to Him and to the human race and to all of Creation? Of course He’s doing something very important!
Since Christ ascended to Heaven and sat at the right hand of God, He has been High Priest, High Priest of the heavenly Temple, according to the heavenly Order of Melchizedek, making intercession with His own Blood, upon the Mercy Seat (which is the Throne of God), for every person written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, who is sent to this Earth to live in a physical body, so that in that time of earthly life, he can hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of Grace, and believe in the First Coming of Christ, in His Name and in His death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins.
And because the person is written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, he is a sheep of the Lord; and Christ said: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me.” It is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Holy Spirit, in the preaching of the Gospel of Christ; because through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ by the Holy Spirit in the messengers He sends, people are hearing the Voice of Christ by the Holy Spirit speaking through human beings.
“And he that is of God hears God’s Voice,” Jesus says in Saint John, chapter 8, verse 47. And in Saint John, chapter 10, He also tells us: “My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
Now, why wasn’t Christ coming forth and taking the Title Deed in Revelation, chapter 5? Because He was making intercession for the last sheep that He would call at this end time. He tarried, in the apocalyptic vision there, He tarried without leaving the Throne of Intercession, without leaving that Work of Intercession, where He as High Priest is interceding with His own Blood before God, upon the Mercy Seat, which is the Throne of God, for every person who is written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Therefore, the Message of the Gospel of Christ must reach the very last elect of God, the very last sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ. And when that Fold is completed, when the Church of Christ is completed, then Christ will be able to leave the Throne of Intercession.
Therefore, what kept Christ at the Throne of Intercession, without leaving to take the Title Deed, was that He was making intercession, calling and making intercession for all the sheep that still had to come into the Lord’s Fold. He said that not one would perish;2 therefore, He could not leave ahead of time, because then those sheep who had not yet received Christ as their only and sufficient Savior would be lost.
Therefore, we have seen the reason why no one worthy to take the Title Deed was coming forth, and neither was Christ: because Christ was very busy making intercession as High Priest in the heavenly Temple of God.
We are being rushed in Heaven and from Heaven, to do the work that we have to do so that the Gospel of Christ reaches the very last elect of God and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is completed, the Fold of the Lord, the Flock of the Lord; so that Christ can then leave the Throne of Intercession, take the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, open It in Heaven, and come with the Title Deed open in His hand, to resurrect the dead believers in Him and transform us who are alive.
That Title Deed, in Revelation, chapter 10 as well, Christ, the Mighty Angel appears coming down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand, and then He cries as when a lion roars. Why? Because He is no longer Lamb but Lion of the tribe of Judah; He already changed: from Lamb and from High Priest to Lion and King, in His Claiming Work; there He is already in His Claiming Work.
And that Title Deed, just as He gave It to John the apostle, who represents the Church of Jesus Christ and the messengers of Jesus Christ, there he is representing the Church of Jesus Christ of the Last Day and the messenger of the Last Day.
And because every Word in every age comes to the Church, first to the messenger, and from the messenger It goes to the people, It goes to the Church in that age: Christ brings that Title Deed to Earth in Revelation, chapter 10, and He will give It to a man, to the messenger that Christ has in His Church at this end time; and he will be told: “Go and ask Him for that Book.” Here… let’s see how it is said here: Revelation, chapter 10, verse 8, says:
“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book (remember that the Angel is Christ). And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me (notice, the Angel, Christ)…
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
And now, here the one who receives the order to take the little Book from the hand of the Angel who stands upon the sea and upon the Earth, when he receives It: he also receives the order to eat that little Book, to then prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues, according to what is written in that little Book or that Seven-Sealed Book, which will be open when given to this person. Therefore, if it will be open, He will be able to understand the whole content of that Title Deed.
It’s like in court: a title deed can be brought before a court, but until the judge opens it what it says is unknown; the evidence of what people may say that the title deed says, is written.
And what is written in the Book of the Seven Seals is what will be known by the one who will eat that Title Deed at the Last Day to prophesy before many peoples, nations, and tongues; therefore, he will have the prophetic ministry over all the peoples, nations, and tongues of this planet Earth; therefore, he will have a prophetic Message for every human being who lives on this Earth.
And that is in accordance with the words of Christ in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 14, when He said the following in this prophetic sermon of Christ, of Saint Matthew 24, verse 14…13 to 14, it says:
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Under the prophetic ministry of the person who eats this Title Deed this prophecy of Christ will be fulfilled:
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
It is the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom. The Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, just as the Gospel of Grace revolves around the First Coming of Christ and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross.
Therefore, under the ministry of this messenger, who will be a dispensational prophet… and therefore, he will be the greatest prophet that Christ has ever sent to His Church in the entire history of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so that you have an idea, even if it’s a slight idea, he will be the greatest prophet after Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the greatest of all, but he will be the second after Christ.
That is why Christ calls him the same as the Lord calls the Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament. The Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament, through whom God manifested Himself, was none other than Christ in His heavenly body.
And now, just as the Lord in the Old Testament speaks about His Angel, and has His Angel through whom He manifests Himself, now let’s see what Christ says about this subject in the New Testament. In Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, it says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel…”
And now Christ says that He has an Angel, just as the Lord in the Old Testament says that He had an Angel.
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
Notice, the one who comes testifying (with what? with the Gospel) these things, is whom? The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And why…? Let’s see:
“I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
And now, in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, Christ tells us with that Voice of Trumpet, notice what He tells us… it says:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
The things which must happen after the things that have already happened during these two thousand years of grace and mercy that God has given us, all the things that will happen after those which have already happened during these two thousand years since Christ, now Christ says: “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
Remember that the book of Revelation is a symbolic book, and in these symbolic prophecies or in these prophecies in symbols, it contains everything that will take place.
And now notice, how are we going to hear the Voice of Christ? And where will we go up so that He shows us all these things? The believers in Christ, the Church of Jesus Christ, has been going up from stage to stage, from age to age, She has had an ascending trajectory; and now we go up to the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the Eternal Age, the Age of Love Divine, the Eternal Age of Christ and His Church.
And now, in that stage is where Christ in Holy Spirit will be speaking to us all these things which must shortly be done; and therefore, it will be a Message from Heaven, coming to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, Christ in Holy Spirit has been manifested in His different messengers and He has been speaking to the human race through those messengers; and therefore, those who heard those messengers were hearing the Voice of Christ in the midst of His Church, calling and gathering His sheep in his Fold.
And now, let’s see through whom Christ will be speaking to us all these things which must shortly be done. In Revelation 22, verse 6 and on, it says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
And now, whom does Christ say that He has sent? His Angel. What for? To show His servants the things which must shortly be done.
Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger shows the things which must happen; because Christ will be manifested in His Angel-Messenger in Holy Spirit, speaking all these things which must shortly be done.
Just as Christ was in Saint Peter, in Saint Paul and in the other messengers that He has sent; they preached the Gospel of Christ by the Holy Spirit, see? Therefore, it was Christ in Holy Spirit preaching through those men of God, those apostles and messengers that He sent.
Christ is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who in the Old Testament was in the midst of the Hebrew people, and through whom God spoke to the Hebrew people: God spoke to the prophets, and through the prophets He spoke to the Hebrew people, by His Spirit, by His Angel, the Angel of the Covenant.
And now, we find that after speaking through those prophets in the Old Testament, Saint Paul tells us in Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 and on:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
Notice, God, who spoke through the prophets to the Hebrew people, it says:
“Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son (that is, by Jesus Christ).”
It says: “in these last days,” and two thousand years have already passed. It’s because the last days before God are the last millennia to human beings; “for one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,” we are told by the prophet Moses in Psalm 90, verse 4, and by Saint Peter the apostle, in Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.
Therefore, the last days before God are the last millennia, which are: the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium; just as the three last days of the week are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Now, it is also said by Joel, and repeated by Saint Peter in the book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 14 and on, and Joel, chapter 2, it says that “in the last days, God will pour out of His Spirit upon all flesh.” In the last days. And notice, He began to pour out of His Spirit upon all flesh on the Day of Pentecost; and two thousand years have already passed since He began to pour out of His Holy Spirit and to bring forth the new birth in those people who received Christ as their only and sufficient Savior.
And now, as for the last days, we find that since the last days are the fifth, sixth and seventh millennia, Christ was living in the first of the last days, which was the fifth millennium; the fifth millennium began when Christ was 3 to 7 years old. And that is why Peter says that God has spoken by His Son in these last days. See? Because the last days before God had already begun, which are the last millennia.
And now, we are living in the seventh millennium since Adam or third millennium since Christ; and therefore, we are living at the Last Day before God.
According to the Gregorian calendar, we are already four years in, it is 2004; therefore, we have already gone into the Last Day before God, which is the seventh millennium since Adam or the third millennium since Christ. It is the sabbatical millennium before God or sabbatical day before God, which is the sabbatical millennium for the human race, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, we find that in the last days Christ appeared, and God spoke by Christ; and then He spoke by Saint Peter, and then He spoke by Saint Paul, and then He spoke through each messenger that Christ has sent in these last days.
The greatest blessings from God were in the last days, which are the fifth, sixth and seventh millennia; and the greatest blessings for the Church of Jesus Christ are at this end time; because at the Last Day is when Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him, and transform the believers who will be alive at this end time, after He has completed His Church, and has taken the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, and has opened It in Heaven and brought It to Earth and given It to a man to eat.
But throughout these two thousand years that have passed, it has been preached that Christ will come for the second time, and that the dead in Christ will be resurrected, and that the believers in Christ who will be alive will be transformed. But why hasn’t that prophecy been fulfilled yet? Because there are still elect, sheep of the Lord, who have yet to be called and gathered in the Fold of the Lord.
Anyone who has already received Christ, will say: “Well, I am really in a hurry and I want Christ to do it fast, to rise from the Throne and take the Title Deed.” Well, start working in the Work of Christ, taking the Message so that It reaches the very last elect of God; because we are being rushed from Heaven.
A person is already needed in Heaven to rise up from the Throne and take the Title Deed.
Now, no one will be able to make Christ rise up from the Father’s Throne and take the Title Deed; no one will be able to do it. Only He will do it when the very last elect has been redeemed by Christ.
That is what has been happening; and thank God for that. What if forty years ago Christ had risen from the Father’s Throne and taken the Title Deed? What would become of us? But we were in the Divine Program, we were written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and that is why Christ has tarried on the Throne of Intercession: to make intercession for us and to cleanse us from all sin with His precious Blood.
And He is still waiting until the very last elect of God comes in. He cannot rise from the Father’s Throne, He cannot rise from the Throne of Intercession, until He has made the Intercession for the very last elect of God; because not one will perish.
Remember the subject: “WE ARE BEING RUSHED FROM HEAVEN.”
In other words, it is a time in – it is a time of urgency, so that the last sheep of Christ come into the Fold of the Lord, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a time in which the Church of Jesus Christ is carrying out an emergency work, a rushed work, because there are still some elect to be called and gathered in the Kingdom of Christ. What is being carried out is a quick work, because we are being rushed from Heaven.
Because in Heaven the Title Deed must already be taken and opened by a man; and the only man who can take that Book is Jesus Christ our Savior; but He is on the Throne of Intercession as High Priest, making intercession for those who are yet to come.
Therefore, tonight He is making intercession for all those who have received Him as their only and sufficient Savior: for those who are present here and for those who are in different countries tonight and who have received Christ as their only and sufficient Savior.
May God bless you and keep you all, and we will continue to see each other for all eternity.
God bless you and keep you all.
“WE ARE BEING RUSHED FROM HEAVEN.”
