The Mystery of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn Written in Heaven

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present here in Bogotá, Colombia. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship around the Divine Program pertaining to this Last Day.

For this reason, I want to read in Hebrews chapter 12, verses 18 to 24, what Saint Paul the Apostle says about God’s firstborn. It says:

“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched,” (meaning, Mount Sinai), “and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”

May God bless His Word in our hearts and allow us to understand It.

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.” We will be seeing: “THE MYSTERY OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.”

The General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ made up of the believers in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, who have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Holy Spirit; and by one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, we have access to that mystical Body of believers called “the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ” in the Bible.

This mystical Body of believers made up of the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, is also called the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven, as we have seen, is the General Assembly and Church of God’s elect, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, who have had their names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world.

And Jesus Christ is their head. He is the beginning of the Creation of God, and He is our elder Brother; and we were all in Him; just like when Melchizedek appeared to Abraham and Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, and Melchizedek gave him bread and wine,¹ the Scripture says, Saint Paul says that Levi was tithing to Melchizedek there.²

And now, when we find the Firstborn of God, the One who is the beginning of the Creation of God, Jesus Christ,³ we were in Him. And when He carried out the creation of the whole universe, we were in Him.

Just as Levi was in Abraham, when Abraham still didn’t even have the son through Sarah (he didn’t have Isaac yet), nor did he have Ishmael; notice, and Levi is already tithing to God. Notice how Levi was already ordained by God, and that is within the people who are the servants.

The people who are the servants are a type and figure of the people who are God’s sons and daughters. The Hebrew people are a type and figure of the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn of God written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, among which there are also many Hebrews written there.

And now, notice how before the foundation of the world, even before God had His theophanic body, before God created His theophanic body, God had already thought of creating that theophanic body for Himself, ahead of time. When I say “ahead of time,” that is: in eternity.

Before time began, God had already thought of creating Himself a theophanic body in which God would dwell and through which to carry out all of Creation. God would put all of Creation in that theophanic body; in other words, all of Divine Creation was condensed in that theophanic body.

And notice how the Scripture tells in Saint John chapter 1, verse 1, and on:

“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.”

Now notice that the Word that was with God, and was in the beginning with God, was God. It was God Himself in His theophanic body. When reference is made to the Word of God, that is referring to God’s theophanic body, that is referring to the Word. And it says:

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

I have read up to… in Saint John chapter 1, verse 1 to 4. And now, verse 9 to 10, says:

“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”

Now let’s see how It came. It says:

“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came unto his own,” (meaning, the Hebrew people), “and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,” (not the servants, but the sons of God), “even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

And this is by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior, and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how we are born of God.

And that is how our theophanic body is born, our theophanic body comes forth, and we obtain a theophanic spirit, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; just as God created Himself a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and dwelt in that theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is a body similar to our body, but from another dimension: the sixth dimension. And God in that theophanic body created all things; that is why it says that all things were made, created, by Him. It says:

“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”

In other words, all things were created through the manifestation of God in His theophanic body, God spoke all of Creation into existence through that theophanic body.

And notice, all of Creation was made, carried out, by a Man, a Man from another dimension: from the sixth dimension, where God was; where God was dwelling in all His fullness.

That Man of the sixth dimension is none other than God’s theophanic body, where God was dwelling in all His fullness; that is why He was with God and was God; that body was with God and God was the One in that Body; therefore, wherever He went, the Word went there (the Word, meaning, God’s theophanic body), and God went there in His theophanic body; and from that theophanic body, God spoke all of Creation into existence.

Saint John goes on to say [verse 14]:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

And when He was made flesh in this dimension, God had already thought of that before Creation, before time began. In other words, it was an eternal thought of God that God would also become flesh, that God would have a body of flesh, and live here on Earth among the Hebrew people for a period of time, in a body of flesh, to carry out a Program: the Program of Redemption.

And when the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, among human beings, He dwelt among the Hebrew people, and His Name was Jesus.

Notice who our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is: He is the Word made flesh, He is the Almighty God with His theophanic body living in a body of flesh.

“Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh,” Saint Paul tells us in First Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16. And Saint John testifies that the Word made flesh is none other than God, God with us, which is prophesied in Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14, where it says: “Behold, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and His Name shall be called Emmanuel,” which being interpreted is: God with us.

It was God with us dwelling in that veil of flesh called Jesus.

And just like the theophanic body of Jesus is where we were, and where our theophanic bodies are, and where our theophanic bodies come from, notice, the physical body of Jesus is where our physical bodies also were. Our eternal body, notice, comes from Christ.

And now, notice here, Saint Paul tells us in Hebrews chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, he says:

“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…”

Through whom did He make the worlds or the universe? Through the Son. Through that theophanic body of the sixth dimension, God created the whole universe, and then, among the Hebrew people, He created a body of flesh for Himself; and God with His theophanic body in that body of flesh—God spoke by His theophanic body through the body of flesh.

Let’s see if you understood: God spoke by His theophanic body through His body of flesh.

There are people who say: “It’s because I spoke without thinking.” You spoke without bringing through the spirit what you were going to speak, and that is not right. And when God speaks, He speaks from the seventh dimension, He brings it through the sixth dimension: through His theophanic body, and then He passes it to this dimension.

And to come in contact with God in the sixth dimension, God always has a theophanic spirit of a prophet; because God is the God of the holy prophets,⁴ and He has always sent a spirit of a prophet from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, from the sixth dimension, and He has sent it manifested in human flesh; and through that prophet, we can see that God has always been manifested on Earth: through a prophet here on Earth; because the Word comes to the prophets.

In other words, the Word comes to the prophets: the Angel of the Covenant comes to His prophets and puts His Word in the mouth of His prophets, and they speak that Divine Word; for those spirits of the prophets are part of and proceed from, come from the Spirit of God, meaning, from that theophanic body; because the theophanic body of God is called the Angel of the Lord or Holy Spirit.

Remember that the Man clothed with linen in the Book of Ezekiel chapter 9 is the Holy Spirit, and He is a Man.

So, we can see that when we speak of the Holy Spirit we are referring to the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, manifested in His theophanic body. That is the Holy Spirit.

That is why, notice, the Scripture tells us that God spoke to the fathers through the prophets. And it says:

“…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…”

Let’s see something here in Zechariah, who tells us about the same thing; and surely Saint Paul read from that passage and shed more light on this. It says in chapter 7, verse 11 to 12, of Zechariah; chapter 7, verse 11 to 12, says … referring to the Hebrew people, it says:

“But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”

Now, notice how God spoke to the Hebrew people through the prophets: by sending what? It says:

“They made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit…”

Notice how, from the seventh dimension, God sends His Word by His Spirit, by His theophanic body, and passes It on to His prophets, and from the prophets It comes to the people of God; because God is the God of the holy prophets.

And notice, Proverbs chapter 20, verse 27, notice what it tells us; it tells us something very important that we should not overlook. It says:

“The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”

Now notice, what is the candle of the Lord? The spirit of man; and the spirits of the prophets are the candle of the Lord. The seven angel-messengers are, notice, along with the seven ages, they are the seven lamps of the candlestick or lampstand… The seven lamps on fire are the seven angel-messengers along with the seven ages.

And notice how for the different stages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ there was an age, a lamp on fire, in other words, a lamp with oil, a lamp with the oil of the Holy Spirit in it, and with the wick dipped in the oil; and that wick dipped in the oil was the angel-messenger of the Lord of each age.

And notice how the Holy Spirit was in each age, the Holy Spirit was represented there in the oil, which, notice, gave light when that lamp was on fire; and It gave Light in each age there in the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.

And now, we have seen that the candle of the Lord is the spirit of man; it is a lamp, it is a candlestick, a lamp; and the candlestick or lampstand has seven lamps there in the holy place.

But now let’s look here: Revelation chapter 11, verse 3 and on, says:

“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

The Two Candlesticks; there we have the Two Candlesticks, those Two Lamps, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

The ministering Spirit of Moses and Elijah, notice how they will be like Two Lamps on fire at the Last Day, enlightening all of God’s elect, the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn written in Heaven. Those Two Lamps will enlighten the elect among the Gentiles in the Holy of Holies, and they will also enlighten the elect of the Hebrew people, which are one hundred and forty-four thousand, who have had their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world.

Now, notice that these ministries of Moses and Elijah are the two olive trees that are in the holy of holies that King Solomon put there, the two cherubims of olive tree, of olive wood, and they are also the two cherubims of gold that are on the mercy seat, which are made of one piece of gold. And in Heaven, those cherubims represent Gabriel and Michael in Heaven.

Now notice how all the representation of what is in Heaven would be on Earth, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn written in Heaven.

And now, that is why we can see that the candlestick or lampstand that appears in the temple Solomon built and also the one Moses built is a type and figure of the seven Gentile Church ages with its seven angel-messengers; and notice, it also appears in Heaven. In Revelation chapter 4, verse 4 to 5, it says:

“And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting…”

Those are the twelve apostles and the twelve patriarchs.

And notice, John hadn’t died yet, and he is already seen sitting there; because there in Heaven we have the representation of those twelve patriarchs and the twelve apostles.

Then, it says:

“…Clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”

And in Revelation chapter 1, verse 4, 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…”

Now notice that the seven spirits of God, the seven spirits that are before the Lord’s Throne, are there.

And here in Revelation chapter 5, verse 6, it says:

“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.”

Now we can see that the seven eyes are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the Earth.

The Prophet Zechariah also spoke to us about these seven eyes in chapter 3 and chapter 4 of his prophecy. Chapter 3, verse 9, says:

“For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.”

And chapter 4, verses… let’s see here, verse 10, says:

“For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice.”

For human beings, the “day of small things” is the time in which every person lives here on Earth. Some people think that having a profession or having a lot of money or being a very important person means something great; those are small things, they are small things for the human being.

The great thing is seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and securing our future, securing our Eternal Life with Jesus Christ; and then Jesus Christ will say: “You have been faithful over a few things,” (in other words, you have been faithful in the small things), “I will make you ruler over many things.”⁵

See? The “many things” come later on. Once we have the eternal body, that is when we will have many things.

Why should we have the “many things” in this mortal body? We would ruin it. That is why God didn’t allow the human being to eat of the Tree of Life there in the Garden of Eden after he fell: he would have lived eternally in a condition of sin, and full of problems and diseases and sin; and that is not how God wants the human being to live for all eternity. That kind of life is temporary, it is short, and God has been shortening it… or the human being himself, without realizing it; but God has been shortening their time, because it is not prudent that the human being live in that fallen condition for a long time.

And those who have already believed in Christ as their Savior and washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Spirit, well, they already have an eternal theophanic body; and soon they will have the eternal body, the immortal and incorruptible and glorified physical body, they will have it soon; because regarding the Last Day, Jesus Christ said: “And I will raise him up at the Last Day.”⁶

And the Last Day is the seventh millennium. And if we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already where? In the seventh millennium; “for one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.”⁷ And when God speaks to us about one day, that is a millennium to human beings.

And now, we can see that the Last Days began in the time of Jesus Christ, when His physical body was four to seven years old; the Last Days began, because the fifth millennium began at that time; and the ministry of Jesus Christ took place in the first century of the fifth millennium. And then we find that all this time that has passed since Jesus Christ has been for the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church.

And now we are at the Last Day, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind, where an overlap of dispensations is taking place: the Dispensation of the Kingdom is overlapping with the Dispensation of Grace.

God’s dispensations overlap. You will never find a dispensation outside that overlap. That is why the Divine Program, from dispensation to dispensation, can be traced from beginning to end: because the dispensations are connected, just as the ages are connected, and just as the days are connected with one another.

Look, if I tell you:

— “Today is Thursday.” All of you will tell me:

— “You are wrong.”

Today is, what day? Tuesday. Why? Because the day that connects with Monday, is which day? Tuesday. See? If you know that the day I tell you doesn’t connect with Monday, then you say: “No.”

And that is how it is with dispensations too. If someone who tells you:

— “We are in the Dispensation of Human Government,” you will say:

— “No. That dispensation has already passed.”

And that dispensation was connected with the Dispensation of Conscience, and when it ended it connected with the Dispensation of Promise; but it is not directly connected with the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

It is a connection of another time in the dispensational chain, it is a link that was connected back then, overlapping with two other links: one before it and another one after it; and that dispensation is in the middle.

But notice, there is always the dispensation that begins and the dispensation that ends. And there, when that time comes, God comes and overlaps them, links them together; and when He links them together: there is then a full circle, and there is then a circle that doesn’t end; therefore, one goes into eternity.

With the last connection, with the connection of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, then comes eternity; in other words, at the end of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, one goes into eternity.

And now, notice that in order to go into eternity, one must be in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the one that connects to eternity.

And that is why there will be a group of human beings, millions of human beings, who will be in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ with Eternal Life, with eternal bodies and with eternal theophanic spirits too; and they will be just like the Second Adam, Jesus Christ; and we will reign with Christ, because He has washed us in His Blood and made us kings and priests unto our God.⁸

Our souls have come from God, they have come from the seventh dimension. And just as Jesus said: “I came from God and I go back to God,”⁹ that is how it is for every son and daughter of God, for every firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Each of God’s firstborn came to this Earth in a…. among a fallen race, and that is why we have taken up mortal bodies and spirits of the world; and that is why a new birth has been required, which we obtain by believing in Christ as our Savior and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit; and thus, we receive the Spirit of the sixth dimension, that theophanic body, so that later on, at the Last Day, we may receive the physical and eternal body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me; and that is the adoption of God’s sons and daughters, of God’s firstborn, God’s firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Now we can see who God’s firstborn are; and we can see that the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ washed in the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We can see why from age to age Christ has sent a messenger in whom He has put a theophanic Spirit of the sixth dimension; and through that ministry, Jesus Christ has been manifested on Earth speaking to the human race, and calling and gathering His elect from age to age, calling and gathering His firstborn into the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn.

Now we can see that this is the most important group on Earth: the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

And now, notice how the name of each of you, as well as my name, has been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world; because the first ones that God thought of were those firstborn; that is why they are the firstborn: because they are the first people that God thought to bring into existence.

And that is why before the foundation of the world we [existed] as a thought, as an attribute in God’s Mind, and that is where we have come from; and that is why we have had the right to obtain a theophanic body; and that required the new birth.

And in order for the new birth to take place, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Elohim, Melchizedek, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who delivered the Hebrew people from Egypt, had to come in human flesh; He had to come in human flesh; and He came in human flesh and was called Jesus; so that His physical body could die on Calvary’s Cross, bearing our sins, so that we can live eternally, so that we are restored to Eternal Life, and obtain the eternal body of the sixth dimension, which is the theophanic body or theophanic spirit.

When the spirit is mentioned, that is not referring to smoke or something like that, rather, it is referring to a body from another dimension, a body similar to our body but from another dimension.

And every firstborn of God written in Heaven before the foundation of the world has the right to a theophanic body; and that is why Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s Cross, rose, ascended to Heaven; and on the day of Pentecost His Holy Spirit came upon one hundred and twenty people, and from that point on It has been coming and bringing forth the new birth.

The Holy Spirit coming has been bringing forth, has been creating the theophanic body of every son and daughter of God; in other words, from the theophanic body of Christ, the theophanic body of each one of us has come into existence.

And that is how, notice, our theophanic body is born, and we are sealed with that theophanic spirit from Christ. And that is why we are descendants of God through the Second Adam, because through the Second Adam, notice, we obtain the new birth, and we obtain the theophanic body; that theophanic body comes from Christ, from the theophanic body of Jesus Christ; and therefore, is a child of God.

And then, at the Last Day, at the end time in which we are living, the dead in Christ will rise in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be changed, and we will also have an eternal body.

And in that eternal body that we will have, we will be as a soul of God or as souls of God, living in our theophanic body for all eternity; in other words, we will have the eternal and theophanic body, and the physical and eternal body, for all eternity.

Currently, notice, we can see that the human being is a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, a spirit of the world (upon being born), and a living soul, inside something mortal, corruptible, and temporary.

But God’s firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world, God has a new theophanic body for them, in other words, a new spirit, a new body of the sixth dimension, which is the theophanic spirit; and a new eternal and glorified physical body, which is the body we will receive very soon at the Last Day, which is in the seventh millennium, which we are already in if we add to the calendar the years it is behind.

And what is God currently doing? Well, He is calling and gathering His last elect, His last firstborn written in Heaven. And where is He gathering them? In the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn of God written in Heaven. And which is the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn of God? It is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is where He calls and gathers His elect, the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

The Birthright Blessing is the greatest blessing there is.

And notice, among the Hebrew people, we find that—when they were in Egypt—God said death was coming upon all the firstborn in Egypt; and since the Hebrew people were in Egypt, the firstborn among the Hebrew people were going to die.

But to prevent them from dying along with the firstborn of the Egyptians, God told Moses that each one should take a lamb that was about two years old and sacrifice it (that is the Passover lamb or paschal lamb), and roast it; that had to be done between both evenings. And once the day of Passover began, the people couldn’t do anything else, they had to have the blood of that lamb already applied on the lintel of the entrance door, and they had to have that lamb roasted inside already, and they had to be eating that lamb already; and they couldn’t leave anything for the morning: what they couldn’t eat, they had to burn before morning.¹⁰

Now, notice, the only thing that saved the Hebrew people from the death of their firstborn was: the death of the lamb—which each one had in their house—and its blood applied on the lintel of their doors; death couldn’t enter there.

And now, for God’s firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, God provided a Lamb: Jesus Christ the Lamb of God. And His Blood is applied on the lintel of the door of our soul, of our heart, and we are eating His Flesh; and in the House where that Lamb is, which is the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn: death cannot kill those firstborn. The devil cannot kill those firstborn with death, because they have Eternal Life through the Sacrifice of Christ, and they are safe (where?) in the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn.

Outside of that General Assembly and Church, they are not safe, because the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn is the One with the Blood of Christ applied on the Door, and the Door is Christ. That is in the Congregation, the Church, as a mystical Body of believers; and as individuals, well, we have the Blood of Christ applied on the lintel of the door of our heart.

Now we can see the safe place for all of God’s firstborn; that place is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is where God’s elect are born again: by believing in Christ as their Savior and washing away their sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; because that is where the Spirit of Jesus Christ is, in His Church, bringing forth the new birth of millions and millions of people during the different ages, who have received Him as their Savior and washed away their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.”

Those people cannot perish: their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And Christ said: “No man plucks them out of My hand,” and He said: “The Father, which gave them to Me,” (referring to His sheep, He says), “is greater than I; and no man is able to pluck them out of His hand.”¹¹ In other words, they are safe: they are in His hand.

And what did God have in His hand? In Revelation chapter 5, He had the little Book sealed with Seven Seals, the Lamb’s Book of Life, where our names are written.

Notice, when Moses dedicated the temple to God, he took the blood of the sacrifice and sprinkled the entire temple, and sprinkled upon the ark of the covenant, and also sprinkled the book.¹² Why? Because that book is a type and figure of the Lamb’s Book of Life, of the Book of the Seven Seals, and the names of all of God’s elect are there; that is why he had to sprinkle the book.

Because blood, notice, without blood there is no remission of sins.¹³ And that is why he must also sprinkle the book and the entire temple: because that temple represents the spiritual Temple of Christ, the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn written in Heaven; and everyone must be sprinkled with the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now you can see why Moses had to do those things. And anyone might see him, and say: “What does all of that mean?” It is because, in everything that is being done there, God is representing what Jesus Christ as High Priest would be doing to His spiritual Temple: sprinkling all the firstborn written in Heaven, with His Blood.

And notice how God has that Title Deed, the Lamb’s Book of Life, in His hand; and notice how Christ then takes It. And let’s leave it there, because then from Christ it passes on to a person who eats that Book.

And when the roll is called, and when the time comes (let’s say, in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb) for the rewards to be given out, the Ministering Angel will have the Book there, for he is the one who receives It at the end time and the one who eats It; and he will make the call there to come before Christ, for Christ to give each person his or her reward.

And why will an Angel be with Jesus Christ there? Because he will be the one working with Him, His administrator.

Doesn’t the Scripture say, referring to the Faithful and Wise Servant, doesn’t It say [Matthew 24:46]: “Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing”?

Find him doing what? Giving God’s elect the Food, the portion, in due season.

“Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.”

And there we see him working with Christ.

Doesn’t It also say, referring to the Servant who will overcome [Revelation 3:21]: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”? That is the Throne of David, there in the land of Israel.

Well, all of that has to do with the General Assembly and Church of what? Of whom? Of God’s firstborn, because the one who will sit with Christ on His Throne belongs to the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn. He can’t be part of the servants, but the children, the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn; because servants cannot inherit, only children can, especially a position like that.

Now, we can also see that all of God’s firstborn will inherit the position of sons and daughters of God, they will be put in the position of sons and daughters of God, which entails the position of kings and priests over the Earth, in the glorious Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Don’t worry if you don’t have an important position in the kingdoms of this world, because you have a very important position in the glorious coming Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ; there, you have the highest position a person can have: the position of kings and priests with Christ. I also have the position that Christ chose for me before the foundation of the world.

And we will be there with Him, and we will recognize each other; the only thing is that we will be… we will be in the new body.

If you are going to look for one of God’s firstborn in the Millennial Kingdom, and he says:

—“Let me take a good look at you, because you can’t be So-and-So, because over there you didn’t have… over there you didn’t have a lot of hair.”

What will you tell him?

—“Remember, that was the old body, but the new one has a full set of hair.”

—“No, but you were already an old man.”

—“Remember that this was in the old body; but God has made all things new,¹⁴ therefore, now I’m young here in the new body.”

And we aren’t going to look for our brethren, the firstborn written in Heaven, in the old body that they had, but in the new body.

So, notice what a great blessing God has for the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven before the foundation of the world, who are being called and gathered from age to age.

And now we are at the last call for God’s firstborn of the Last Day, for the stage of the Cornerstone Age, which is fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean, just as the other stages were fulfilled—each one—in the territory ordained by God.

And now the territory blessed by God is Latin America and the Caribbean. And that is why God has sent us to live in Latin America and the Caribbean to be Latin American and Caribbean people: because the last call for the General Assembly and Church of God’s firstborn would be in Latin America and the Caribbean.

And if someone has gone to another continent seeking better work conditions and better financial conditions, and other opportunities, the Message (if he is an elect, if he is a firstborn), the Message will reach him wherever he is: we will send him booklets and everything, and we will be very happy to serve them (those who are outside), and we do it with all our soul.

But where would God’s blessing be at the Last Day? In Latin America and the Caribbean, and then it will be among the Hebrew people. And Christ will rule from there over the Hebrew people and over all nations, with the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven.

And where is the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven at this Last Day? Well, here we are! Here we are in the stage of the Cornerstone Age, which is being fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me. And soon may the promise of the transformation of our bodies be materialized, and may we have the new body, and may the dead in Christ be raised in eternal bodies; and after being here for thirty to forty days, may we all go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with our Lord Jesus Christ, and thus, may we all be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.”

Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present, radio listeners, and television viewers.

And I will see you in the next services that I will be—that we will be having in Fusagasugá.

And then, next Sunday, next Sunday we will be here in Bogotá again, in… how many of you know where it is? On the intersection of 80th Street and 50th Avenue. What else? Gaitán? Do you all know where it is? Well, we didn’t know… I didn’t know either; although I was told: “It’s around this place,” but since I’m not familiar around here, well, I don’t know how to get there on my own, but I will be there with you. It’s going to be Sunday morning and evening, as it has always been when we have services like this.

So, pray a lot for that service, so that the blessings of Jesus Christ are poured out upon the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn written in Heaven.

And we will also be in Fusagasugá, in the relevant services that Miguel has there during the day with the ministers, and during the night there are also some services planned. So, I will also be there with Miguel for those services.

Let’s bring Miguel here to continue; and if he has an announcement to make to you about the evening services, for those who are from Fusagasugá, so that you know which days there will be services in the evening.

So, may God bless you. Thank you very much for your kind attention, and have a great evening everyone.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.”
