Elohim’s Visit to Abraham’s Seed and Its Purpose

Good afternoon, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior, and ladies gathered as well. It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion.

For this occasion, let’s read in the book of Genesis, chapter 18, verse 1 and on, and it says:

“And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked (unrighteous)?”

And that is when he starts to talk to Him about the amount of people. First [Abraham] God begins, it says:

“And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”

And then Abraham keeps decreasing the number: from fifty he brings it down to forty, from forty he then brings it down to thirty, from thirty he brings it down to twenty; and then from twenty, he brings it down to ten. Verse 32:

“And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.

And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

Why is this historical passage about Abraham’s life so important to Christianity, and even to Judaism, and even to Islam? Because Jesus Christ says that the time of the Coming of the Son of Man at the Last Day will be like the days of Lot, just as it will also be like the days of Noah.¹

Therefore, that historical event becomes a type and figure of what will be happening at this end time in which we are living. And therefore, Abraham represents the seed of Abraham, which are —in the parable of the ten virgins— the wise virgins; and Lot represents the foolish virgins: who had no oil in their lamps and who will go through the great tribulation.

Meanwhile, Abraham was there on the mountain, where he was not in any danger, he was at the top. And the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be at the Top, in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, when the destruction of the world comes during the time of the great tribulation, where the Divine Judgments will be falling upon the human race, the plagues that appear in the book of Revelation. And that is why that time is so important to us at this end time, because that is the type and figure of what will be happening at this time.

We saw that Abraham represents the wise virgins, the Bride-Church of the Lord. And who is represented or what is represented in Elohim and His two Angels, which are Gabriel and Michael? At the Last Day, the ministries of Elijah, Moses, and the Messiah, will be present, for the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His Angels.²

Therefore, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels is the fulfillment of the type and figure of the three Angels that appeared to Abraham back then, and visited him, and spoke to him about the son that God had promised him long ago;³ and time continued to pass by, and about 24 years had passed, and the son hadn’t come; but Abraham continued believing what God promised.

Sarah’s faith had weakened, because she thought that Abraham couldn’t have that promised son through her, because she was already elderly, she could no longer conceive; but God had promised Abraham that it was through her that Abraham would have that promised son.

She, in the context of her old age, had even given him her handmaid so that she and Abraham could receive a son of Abraham through that handmaid, and she would adopt him as her son; which has later become a great struggle for Abraham’s descendants: two lines of Abraham’s descendants that have always been fighting.

And now, for the Last Day, Sodom and Gomorrah represent the world; let’s say, the kingdom of the gentiles in the feet of iron and clay, the stone cut out without hands in His Coming, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the Coming of the Lord with His Angels, will bring an end to the feet of iron and clay; and then the establishment of the Kingdom of God will come to Israel and to the whole human race. As simple as that.

But despite all that has been explained, there is still a mystery there, which is left there to be opened later on, because that will be the mystery of the Seventh Seal.

The visit of Elohim with His Angels to Abraham there, is showing what will be the Seventh Seal here, at the Last Day; and the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Lord to His Church.

There is the Coming of the Lord to His Church before the great tribulation, to prepare Her to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and there is the Coming of the Lord after the great tribulation with His Church, already in glorified bodies, for the establishment of the Kingdom of Messiah, which will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David.

The Coming of the Lord to His Church will be a secret, and will be in secret. She is the One who will know this mystery when it is revealed to Her; but the world does not have to know it because He isn’t coming for them, rather He comes for His Church, His Bride-Church.

The world will continue as it always has, and from bad to worse.

And the environment will continue with its environmental problems, global warming, the problem of the ozone layer; which Dr. Nelly Fuentes was telling me about these days, that there was a publication about the ozone, that it has been depleting away from the area, and mainly the area corresponding to Latin America and (therefore) the continent of the Americas; thus, the continent of the Americas will have many environmental problems.

We have seen how problems of floods, rain, storms, earthquakes, have increased, and sea levels are also rising due to the melting of polar ice; and all of that is increasing every day, since the sun’s rays strike the planet Earth more directly, and therefore, will cause many issues even for the skin of human beings.

The situation is difficult, and it will become more difficult as time goes by. And when the time comes for the start of the end of time…; the end of time, which pertains to the last three-and-a-half years of the seventy weeks of Daniel’s prophecy; because, of those seventy weeks, we already have sixty-nine weeks, plus half a week of the seventieth week that was already fulfilled in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ; in other words, all that’s needed to complete that prophecy of the seventy weeks, all that’s left is only three-and-a-half years, which correspond to the great tribulation.

When Christ died, there was a parenthesis and a gap was opened to begin the Dispensation of Grace, but the seventieth week paused.

And when the elect resurrect in glorified bodies, those who have already departed, and the believers in Christ who are alive are transformed, and we will spend a short period of time here on Earth already glorified, transformed, in eternal bodies, then we will leave from here.

When we leave, the seventieth week will begin – or will continue, for the fulfilment of the second part that is left; that second part of the seventieth week will begin, which pertains to the time called “the great tribulation” or “Jacob’s trouble,” in which God will be dealing with the Hebrew people, and He will be delivering them just as He delivered them back in Egypt.

And therefore, just as He brought plagues over Egypt, He will bring plagues upon the Gentile kingdom; those plagues will fall upon the stage of the feet of iron and clay of the Gentile kingdom. In plain words, they will fall upon the kingdom of the antichrist at the Last Day, which will be the head of the Gentile kingdom, it will be the head of the feet of iron and clay; in other words, the head: its king, its leader.

And now, we have briefly seen what will be ELOHIM’S COMING TO ABRAHAM’S SEED AND ITS PURPOSE.

The seed of Abraham, the apostle Paul says that all believers in Christ are children of Abraham, all those who are of the faith in Christ.⁴

So, first He will be visiting the believers in Christ at the Last Day; and then He will also visit the Jews, who are Abraham’s seed as well.

We can’t speak much about that, about all this that is promised; we are just briefly touching on these prophecies. For Christ Himself said that as it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the day when the Son of Man will be revealed, will be manifested: “So shall it be in the day when the Son of Man will come;”⁵ and the Son of Man, represented back then, with His Angels, it is promised that the Son of Man will come with His Angels at the Last Day. It is the same thing.

And on Mount Transfiguration He showed what the Coming of the Lord will be, the Coming of the Son of Man at the Last Day.⁶ But it is still a mystery, because it cannot be fully opened until a certain time; and that will be the opening of the Seventh Seal, the opening of the greatest mystery in the whole Bible, the mystery which Christ said that not even the Angels knew, that no one knew.⁷ That is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord at the Last Day.

Therefore, that mystery remains closed until Christ concludes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, leaves the Throne of Intercession, takes the Title Deed and opens It in Heaven; and by that mystery being opened in Heaven, from that point on things will change in favor of the believers in Christ, from that point on the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, will come.

Therefore, we still keep that mystery closed, it is kept closed, we only touch on a few things about it; but when it is opened everyone will say: “I knew it would be that way. I was already believing correctly.” And it won’t be difficult to understand, because God has already been opening our understanding and the Scriptures to us, so that we are understanding these prophecies relevant to the Last Day.

“ELOHIM’S VISIT TO ABRAHAM’S SEED AND ITS PURPOSE.”

Abraham’s faith, when he received the visit there, and God said to him: “In… next year, at this time, you will have the son,” Abraham’s faith increased more. Sarah’s decreased; but when God spoke to her, revealed the secrets of her heart (that she had laughed, not physically but within herself, in other words, on the inside), then she got scared.

And when He says that he will have the child, Abraham through her, and He asks: “Is anything impossible with God?” Because there isn’t, then her faith increased as well, and so did Abraham’s; and the next year they had the child. By the next year, they were already: Abraham was 100 years old, and she was 90.

Now, how can a man, a king, fall in love with a 99-year-old woman? After Abraham received the visit of Elohim, and then they moved somewhere else; they were rejuvenated. The transformation is also connected to that Visit of Elohim.

And how could a king: Abimelech, from (which territory, Miguel?) Gerar,⁸ he sees Sarah there and falls in love with a 99-year-old elderly woman. Everyone knows that’s not possible. Sarah was rejuvenated, and so was Abraham.

And then Sarah lived about thirty-… about 40 more years. At what age did Sarah die, Miguel? 130 or 135, or so. 175: Abraham, that is, Abraham…

[Bro. Miguel: Sarah, 127.]

127; and 90 to 100 is 10… (137, one hundred and twenty-…; no, 127), meaning that she lived 37 more years (and those were the 37 years; I had them in the wrong place; Sarah lived 37 more years after having the child; and Abraham lived 75 more years.

Abraham, after Sarah died, he remarried, and had 6 more children through Keturah;⁹ and notice, more seed of Abraham. But the seed of the promise was through Isaac.

And now, we can see that for the Last Day there is a great blessing that Christ spoke of, saying that like – that the Coming of the Son of Man will be like the days of Lot, which are the days of Abraham.

And when we speak of Son of God and Son of David and Son of Man and Son of Abraham, all those titles of Son have a meaning.

Notice, the Messiah as Son of Man is a prophet, because it’s the title of a prophet.

The Messiah, as Son of Abraham has the Kingdom’s Royalty.

The Messiah, as Son of David is the King, heir to the Kingdom of David.

The Messiah, as Son of God is the heir of the entire world, of the Heavens and the Earth; and that is why the Kingdom of the Messiah is global.

And also, when the Messiah sat on the Father’s Throne in Heaven, notice, He inherited the heavenly Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Heavens and the Earth; and that is why He said: “All power is given unto Me (where?) in Heaven and on Earth.”¹⁰

Therefore, for the Last Day there is a great blessing for the elect, it is the most glorious time for all the believers in Christ. Although it is the saddest for the world; but for the believers in Christ it is the most glorious; because it is the time in which the believers in Christ who died will be resurrected in glorified and young and eternal bodies; and the believers who will be alive will be glorified, they will be transformed, and then they will have new and eternal and young bodies, which will represent 18 to 21 years of age, bodies just like the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior.

The Program of the Kingdom of God for the Last Day is glorious. And the thing is that we have a part in that Program, we are part of that Divine Program.

Therefore, onward serving the Lord and receiving His blessings, and waiting for our transformation.

We are already… Do you know how many years closer I am? 70 years closer to my transformation. Miguel is older than me by…, he is closer than me by many years, about 14 years (let’s say) closer from the moment he was born until now. And the same goes for each person.

So, every time it’s my birthday, I am one year closer to my transformation. There are people whose birthday comes along and they say: “One year older.” But if we look at things the right way, it’s one year closer to our eternal youth.

May God bless you and keep you. And we will see each other in a few hours, God willing, in the next activity.

Well, may God bless you; and onward, working in the Work of the Lord.

I will leave Missionary Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you to continue, and then we will see each other in the evening, God willing.

God bless you and keep you all.
