Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present here in Porto Velho in Rondônia… Puerto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program for each one of us and for the whole human race.
For this reason, I want to read a few Scriptures; Genesis chapter 1, verse 1, tells us the following:
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
The other Scripture is in Genesis, chapter 1, verses 26 to 28, and it says:
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION.”
We have seen in these Scriptures that God is the Father of Creation.
In order to carry out creation, God had a Program in His Mind; in other words, God thought of carrying out that creation.
And now, notice how God carried out that creation.
And we can see that creation received the command to reproduce itself; the original creation has a Divine Command: reproduction. You can see here that when He created Man, He said to him: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth.”
And now, let’s see what happens to the trees and plants and grass. In Genesis chapter 1, verse 11 and on, 11 to 12 (this is what He did on the third day), it says:
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.”
Now, we can see that also grass, trees, everything that was created received the command of reproduction, to multiply.
All of God’s original creation has that Divine Command: the command to reproduce under the Divine Laws of Reproduction, which cannot be broken; because if they are broken, the result is a hybrid, damaged product, which is not the product that our Heavenly Father sowed.
Therefore, only what is original, the original creation, will be in eternity; there won’t be anything hybrid in eternity.
Now, notice how God has given the command of reproduction to all His creation; it’s the same for plants, for trees, for fish, for birds, for the animals, for the human being, and for the whole universe. And all of this began the simplest way you can imagine.
In order for God to begin His creation, do you know what God did? God created a body, and every seed of the original creation and for the original creation is in that body; and the whole original creation comes from that body, all of creation is concentrated there.
The Scripture says in Revelation chapter 3, verse 14, referring to Jesus Christ, it says that He is the beginning of the Creation of God.
Now, we have the creation of God there in Genesis chapter 1, verse 1, and we also have the Creation of God as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: a new race that comes through the Second Adam, which is Jesus Christ.
Now, let’s look closely at THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION, and thus, we will see the mystery of creation. 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.”
Now, notice how the Scripture tells us that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God, in that beginning where God created; that was when God created His own theophanic body, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
That was the first thing God created: a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, similar to this body that we have, but from another dimension: from the sixth dimension.
And God entered into that body, and in that body, God then carried out the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. That is why it says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;” because with God in that theophanic body: well, the theophanic body was God manifested in a theophanic body; and in that theophanic body, God carried out all of creation.
Where did all of creation come from? From God, through His manifestation in His theophanic body that He created for Himself.
That theophanic body came from God, came out of God; God created it to dwell in that theophanic body of the sixth dimension, in which we find that He appeared to many Old Testament prophets; and the prophets saw Him (God) and called Him: the Angel of Jehovah or Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant. He was seen in a Pillar of Fire, and a Man from another dimension was there, who spoke to them.
And He said to Moses: “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”1 Moses wanted to see His face, and God told him: “No man shall see Me, and live;”2 because no man has ever seen God, as Saint John chapter 1, verse 18 tells us. But it says that “the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him,” (in other words, made Him known); because through Jesus Christ, God has been manifested in human flesh among human beings.
And that is why the Prophet Isaiah, in chapter 7, verse 14, tells us that the virgin would conceive and bear a son, and His Name would be called Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us. God visiting the human race there among the Hebrew people in a body of flesh, in the form of a Man, in the form of a Prophet. It was God with us clothed in human flesh, clothed in the human garment that we have.
Now, we can see how God has manifested Himself both in His theophanic body of the sixth dimension—called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant—as well as in Jesus, the veil of flesh where He appeared manifested. God was in that veil of flesh in His theophanic body, dwelling in that theophanic body.
That is why Jesus could say: “Abraham desired to see My day, he saw it and was glad.”3 And when did Abraham see Him? We have two very important occasions when Abraham saw God in the form of a man.
And on one occasion, God gave him to eat bread and wine. In other words, that was when Abraham was returning from the victory he had obtained over some confederate kings who had taken Lot and his family, and many people from the city where Lot lived; but Abraham went and freed Lot and his family and all the people who had been taken captive.
And during his victorious return, Melchizedek appeared to him, King of Salem, meaning, King of Jerusalem and King of Peace;4 because Jerusalem is ‘City of Peace.’ Although it has had so many wars, its name speaks of peace, because it is the City of the King of Peace. And during the Millennial Kingdom there will be peace in that City, when the King of Peace is reigning there on the Throne of David.
And now, that is Melchizedek, without father, without mother, without beginning and without end; because He is the Almighty God, who was in His theophanic body, appearing to Abraham back then, and giving him bread and wine. Without father and without mother, having neither beginning of days, nor end of time, there is only One: and that is God.
And now, God was in His theophanic body as Priest of the City and of the Temple: Priest of Jerusalem; and He is the Priest of God of the Temple which is in Heaven.
And now, notice, He is King of Peace, He is the Heavenly King.
And now, we find that what happened to Abraham will be happening at the end time to Abraham’s children from Heaven (in other words, Abraham’s heavenly children, which are the members of the Church of Jesus Christ), and then to the earthly Israel, which is the Hebrew people: they will be meeting Melchizedek manifested on Earth again.
Melchizedek, the King of Jerusalem and Priest of the living God of the Temple which is in Heaven, will be on Earth, and He will be clothed in human flesh; just as He was clothed in human flesh two thousand years ago, in that veil of flesh called Jesus of Nazareth. Melchizedek clothed in human flesh was in that young carpenter from Nazareth; in other words, God in His theophanic body was in that veil of flesh; God clothed in human flesh, the Word made flesh.
And at the Last Day, according to Revelation chapter 19, we have the promise of the Coming of the Word again: as the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19.
That is the Word coming, that is Melchizedek coming, that is the King of Salem, King of Peace: Jesus Christ our Savior coming in Holy Spirit, manifested in human flesh in the veil of flesh that He will have at the Last Day.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ: William Branham, said the white-horse Rider is the Holy Spirit; and that is on page 318 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals. And then, on page 295 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, he tells us:
“[196] When our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
The Word will come clothed in human flesh again; He will have a veil of flesh of this end time here on Earth, in whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Melchizedek, will come clothed in human flesh, manifested in human flesh in the fulfillment of His promise pertaining to this end time.
Now, notice this mystery of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19: it is the Coming of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Word, the Coming of God in His theophanic body, taking up a body of flesh of this end time through which to veil Himself and reveal Himself to His Church at the Last Day; and then He will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people, and the Hebrew people will also see Him.
And thus, Abraham’s seed from Heaven, which are God’s elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, will be having the same experience that Abraham had when he met Melchizedek. And Jesus Christ, Melchizedek, will be giving them the Word: the creative Word, to be called, gathered, and changed at the Last Day.
Now we can see that the seed of Abraham according to the flesh will also be experiencing the same thing, they will be having the same experience as our father Abraham: they will see Him, receive the Word, and be sealed with the Seal of the living God, as it says in Revelation chapter 7, verse 2 and on, where God sends the Angel ascending from the East, who comes with the Seal of the living God.
The Seal of the living God is the Holy Spirit. “Grieve not the Holy Spirit, whereby you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption,” Saint Paul says in Ephesians chapter 4, verse 30.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the firstfruits of the Spirit; it is the firstfruits of the Spirit that we receive once we have received Christ as our Savior and washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ and received the Spirit of Christ. And that is when we receive the theophanic body, the theophanic spirit, and thus, we obtain a theophanic body like the one our Lord Jesus Christ has, a theophanic body like the one God created for Himself, and through which He carried out all of creation.
And now, just as God then created Himself a body of flesh in Mary’s womb, and then that body was born… and God dwelt in that body, in other words, God in His theophanic body entered into that body of flesh and dwelt in it in all His fullness.
And God’s elect, at the Last Day, those who have departed in the past: will rise in eternal bodies and dwell in those eternal bodies in their theophanic spirits which they received when they believed in Christ as their Savior and washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and received the Spirit of Christ.
Those who have departed are in Paradise living in those theophanic bodies; they are living just like Jesus Christ was living in His theophanic body before He obtained His physical body.
Adam also lived the same way before he obtained the physical body that God created for him out of the dust of the ground: before that, God created a theophanic body for Adam; and we don’t know for how many years, centuries, or millennia, or millions of years he lived before that; we don’t know.
Now, we do know that Jesus Christ lived in that theophanic body for millions of years before He had the physical body that was born through the virgin Mary.
Now we can see the mystery of the Creator, and we can see that all of creation carried out by God is to multiply itself, reproduce itself.
And now, notice how plants, trees, animals, birds reproduce themselves; the human being too, although it’s the wrong way. Because the right way to reproduce, in order to live eternally, had to be reproduction by Divine Creation, but Eve altered that way in the garden of Eden
And that is why the human being is born, lives here on Earth for a period of time, and then dies: because the reproduction of the human being has been in a carnal way, and not by Divine Creation; but by Divine Creation, reproduction is with Eternal Life. But there is no problem.
The first Adam was entrusted with the reproduction of the human race (the reproduction of Adam and Eve) by Divine Creation, but they used reproduction by sex and that brought death to their descendants.
But now, the Second Adam, which is Jesus Christ, who has also been entrusted with reproduction, with multiplying Himself, we find that He does so by Divine Creation.
And now, where are the children of Jesus Christ? Some people have thought that Jesus Christ has no children or hasn’t had any children; but He is the Man who has had the most children. Where are they? Well, here we are, by Divine Creation!
Upon believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit: we are born into the Kingdom of God; we receive the new birth, which Christ spoke to Nicodemus about, saying, “Verily I say unto you: Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus thought this meant being born again through his father and mother—or through his mother, and he asked Jesus: “How can these things be? Can a man enter into his mother’s womb and be born again when he is old? But Jesus Christ was speaking to him about a new birth. And Jesus Christ said to him: “Marvel not that I said to you that you must be born again.”
It is not something to marvel at, but rather, to understand; because upon understanding it, we obtain the benefits of that new birth.
Jesus Christ said to him, “Verily, verily, I say unto you: Except a man be born again of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God,” (he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God). In Saint John chapter 3, verse 1 to 6, we have the conversation of Nicodemus and Jesus Christ.
And now, the new birth is what brings about our entry into the Kingdom of God; and thus, we enter into the mystical Body of Christ, the Church of Jesus Christ, as a member of that mystical Body of Jesus Christ and as a member of a new Creation.
Jesus Christ is the beginning of that new Creation, the first of that new Creation, and we are the continuation of that new Creation.
And we have already obtained the theophanic body: by believing in Christ as our Savior, and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and we need to receive the physical and eternal body that He will give us at this Last Day when the dead in Christ rise in eternal bodies, and we who live are changed; and thus, we will all be in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And thus, on this Earth there will be a new Creation with Eternal Life, with eternal physical bodies and with eternal theophanic bodies, and with both consciouses together, just like the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Second Adam.
Now, notice how the Second Adam has been creating a new race; in other words, the Second Adam has been multiplying Himself, reproducing Himself. He has been in His Church, which is His Bride, through whom He has been bringing forth these sons and daughters of God.
Now, we can see that those whom Jesus Christ brings by reproducing Himself are sons and daughters of God; sons and daughters of God to live for all eternity with Jesus Christ in the glorious Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ has made us kings and priests, because He has washed us from our sins in His Blood, and we will reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity as kings and priests in His Kingdom.
Now we can see THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION, we can see the mystery of Creation, and we can see the mystery of the human race that began with Adam, which fell; and we can see the new Creation of the new race that began with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and we can see the multiplication or reproduction of that new race, of which Jesus Christ is the first. We can see how Jesus Christ has been reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God.
The seed of God’s sons and daughters has been where? In Jesus Christ; just as the seed of every plant has been in the plant, and the seed of every tree has been in every tree; and then it multiplies.
Now, we can see how the seed of God’s sons and daughters has been in Jesus Christ. And in this multiplication or reproduction of Jesus Christ into sons and daughters of God, we can see God’s seed coming into existence from age to age up to this end time, where we are in the last stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the last stage of this new Creation of beings in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
We already have the image of Jesus Christ, which is the theophanic body; and soon we will have the likeness, meaning, the physical body, which will be eternal, just like the body of our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be a glorified body in which we will live for all eternity.
This body that we have is mortal, corruptible, and temporary, but it will be changed; and then we will have an eternal and glorious new body; and thus, we will all be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ; and thus, we will be that new creation completed.
That is why what counts is the new Creation; the old creation is mortal, corruptible, and temporary. The new Creation is eternal; that is why it receives a theophanic and eternal body, and at the Last Day, it will receive an eternal and glorified physical body.
In the Letter of Galatians, chapter 6, verse 15, Saint Paul tells us:
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature,” (that new Creation which our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is creating).
He is reproducing Himself by Divine Creation; and that is why the creative Word of God has been required in each age, coming through Jesus Christ by His manifestation in the angel-messenger of each age. That is also how it is for our time.
That is why in the Scripture we have the promise of the promised Word for our time, mentioned as the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, which is the Voice of Christ making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; and thus, revealing to us this entire Divine Mystery; and thus, calling and gathering all of God’s elect, and making known to them the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.
The greatest mystery at the Last Day is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ. That is the mystery that the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around; just as the greatest mystery of the Message of the Dispensation of Grace is the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world on Calvary’s Cross.
The Message of the Gospel of Grace revolves around the First Coming of Christ, and the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around the Second Coming of Christ.
Now we can see where we are in the Divine Program, in the Program of the Father of Creation.
We have seen how the whole original creation received the command to multiply itself, to reproduce itself: and this is by Divine Creation; but the command was altered by Eve there in the garden of Eden.
But the Second Adam is multiplying, in other words, He is reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God. That new Creation will remain for all eternity.
Now we have seen the mystery of the reproduction of Jesus Christ: the beginning of the Creation of God.
We have seen the Divine Program of this original and eternal Divine Creation, and we have seen the Program for the multiplication, for the reproduction of that Creation.
Jesus Christ is carrying out that reproduction of Himself. He is reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God; just as our parents have reproduced themselves in what? Sons and daughters, because we are the reproduction of our earthly parents.
And now, Jesus Christ in His Church and with His Church is reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God. What are we? The reproduction of Jesus Christ our Savior; we are the reproduction of the original creation. We are the reproduction of the Word, which was made flesh and dwelt among the human beings.
Just as He had His theophanic body, He has reproduced Himself by giving us a theophanic body. Our theophanic body is the reproduction of the theophanic body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And His physical body will also be reproduced when He gives us the physical and eternal body He has promised for each one of us; the eternal body we shall have will be the reproduction of His physical body.
Now, notice how God’s sons and daughters are the reproduction of God through Jesus Christ. It is God reproducing Himself through the Second Adam, in whom God was dwelling in all His fullness.
And now, God’s sons and daughters are the reproduction of God through Jesus Christ, the Second Adam; it is a reproduction to live for all eternity in an eternal and glorified physical body, and in an eternal theophanic spirit too.
We have seen the mystery of the Creator, we have seen THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION, we have seen the mystery of Divine Creation, and we have seen the mystery of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Creation of Jesus Christ; it is a Creation of Jesus Christ, it is Jesus Christ multiplying Himself in sons and daughters of God.
We have seen how this law of reproduction applies to plants, to trees, to fish, to birds, to animals, to human beings, to Jesus Christ Himself, and it also applies to the whole universe.
But let’s stay here on Earth; let’s not go too far. Let’s look at what has to do with us, so that we understand the Divine Program that God has with us at this Last Day. But this also applies to the entire universe.
That is why science, scientists, say that the universe is getting bigger, it’s expanding, galaxies are appearing, new galaxies are emerging. And what is that? The reproduction of the original creation. “In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth,” and they have been multiplying. What is this? They have been reproducing. How do they do it? That is a matter of the way God established that reproduction.
Now it’s up to us to know how Jesus Christ is reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God: by hearing the preaching of the Word of God, that creative Word for the time in which the person is given to live, and receiving Christ as our Savior, washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how we have been born into the Kingdom of God, and we have obtained our theophanic body.
And at the Last Day, when the dead in Christ rise in eternal bodies, we who are alive will be changed and we will have the eternal body too; and physically, Jesus Christ will have also reproduced Himself in each one of us; and we will be in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, notice how the same law of reproduction is applied not only to the human being but to the whole original creation.
And now, we have seen that we are the reproduction of Jesus Christ, the original creation.
The whole original creation proceeds from Jesus Christ: the Heavens and the Earth, the planets, plants, fish, animals, trees, and the human being; everything comes from Jesus Christ our Savior.
In Him, being in His theophanic body, all of creation was concentrated there; and it has come out of there, by the creative Word being spoken by God through His theophanic body.
And God manifested through His theophanic body or in His theophanic body is none other than Jesus Christ in His theophanic body. And God manifested in all His fullness two thousand years ago in human flesh: that is Jesus Christ our Savior.
Now we can see the mystery of the Creator. We can see what is happening in God’s Program. God said to the Prophet Daniel that the wise would understand.5
Now, what we have spoken is a mystery of the Kingdom of God.
Notice how these mysteries of the Kingdom of God have been carried out: the ones pertaining to the human race [have been carried out] among the human race. There are others that are carried out in the universe, and scientists look, and see things happening, and sometimes they don’t know how to explain what is happening; but something is happening in the universe.
But we must see what is happening among the human race in the Divine Program; because that is what’s relevant to us: in the reproduction of the Second Adam, of Jesus Christ, in His Church and with His Church, reproducing Himself by Divine Creation in God’s sons and daughters.
Where are the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ our Lord? Well, here we are! We are the reproduction of Jesus Christ our Savior.
We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION.”
May God bless you, may God keep you. And continue having a day filled with the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Father of Creation.
I will leave Gian del Corto with us again to continue.
