Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present, and to all who are through the Internet and different means of communication. May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me as well, and may He allow us on this occasion to understand His Word, His Program, relevant to this end time. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
It is a great blessing for me to be with you again on this occasion, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God relevant to this end time.
Greetings also to our Messianic Hebrew brethren and their minister. May God bless you greatly, may God on this occasion also speak directly to your souls, and thus edify you, as well as all of us.
On this occasion I want to read in Hebrews, chapter 9, what Saint Paul teaches us in relation to the Work of God; Saint Paul tells us in chapter 9, verse 1 and on:
“Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us…”
May God bless His Word in our souls and allow us to understand It.
Our subject is: “THE TRUE TABERNACLE,” that is, the true Tabernacle of God, the true Temple of God.
In order to understand this mystery of the true Tabernacle of God or Temple of God, we need to understand something very important. We can mention eight tabernacles:
• We have the Tabernacle or Temple that is in Heaven.
• We have the tabernacle or temple built by Moses, and also the one built by Solomon (and we are going to place those two temples or tabernacles as the second or number two).
• And we have the human race as a Temple or Tabernacle of God.
• And we have the Hebrew people, Israel, as a Temple or Tabernacle of God.
• And we have the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Temple or Tabernacle of God.
• And we have Jesus as the Temple or Tabernacle of God. That is why Jesus once said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up (that is, I will restore it).”1
• And we have every son and daughter of God, who as an individual is a temple or tabernacle of God. Saint Paul said: “Do you not know that you are God’s temple, the temple of the Spirit of God?”2
• And we have David’s tabernacle.
So we have here eight tabernacles mentioned; and what temple or tabernacle means is ‘dwelling house,’ ‘house’ or ‘the dwelling house of God.’
And now, let us look at these temples or tabernacles, to see the true Tabernacle of God.
The temple or tabernacle of God is always identified by the presence of God in it, and the Name of God is in it. And there we can see that in Heaven, in the Temple that is in Heaven, God is there, and His Name is there present.
And now, in the temple or tabernacle of God as the human race, we find that God has been in the midst of the human race, and therefore His Name has been in the midst of the human race.
Now, we have to understand that for God a temple consists of outer court, holy place and most holy place.
And now, the human race as the Temple of God has all the gentiles as the Outer Court, it has Jerusalem as the Holy Place and all the territory of – or the territory of Israel as the Holy Place, and then Jerusalem as the Holiest Place, that is, the Most Holy Place; because the temple of God was placed in Jerusalem, and in Jerusalem the Messiah will be seated on the Throne of David reigning over the Hebrew people and over all nations. So there we have, as a Temple, the human race, we have the three important parts: the place of the Outer Court: all the territories of the planet Earth among the gentiles; then the territory of Israel as the Holy Place; and the territory of Jerusalem as the Most Holy Place.
And, notice, that is why the Name of God was there in Jerusalem, in the temple. And now, where in the temple was the Name of God? It was on the mercy seat, where the Shekinah was, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant. And notice, in the book of Exodus, chapter 23, it says [verse 20]:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee (And He would take them where? To the promised land)…”
And now, the Angel of the Lord being in the temple there in Jerusalem, in the most holy place, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, in the Light of the Shekinah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who appeared to Moses and said to him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”3 …
And that God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was where? Then He was in the temple built by Moses and then in the temple built by Solomon, in the most holy place, upon the mercy seat, and therefore there was the Eternal Name of God; because the Name of God is where? In the Angel of the Lord.
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
And now, the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in His theophanic body of the sixth dimension. And just as everybody in this dimension has a name (every body of every human being), now, in the sixth dimension, which is the dimension of the theophany, all those who are living in that sixth dimension have their name, they have a name; and the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, well, He has His Name, which is the Eternal Name of God, which was given to Moses in those four consonants: YHWH.
And now, for that Name to be manifested in this earthly dimension, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord has to become flesh; and when He became flesh two thousand years ago, and was the Word made flesh, there we have that the “Y” and the “H,” of those four consonants, was used in the Name of Redemption that the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, used in His manifestation in human flesh.
And now, we find that Jesus could say: “Before Abraham was, I am.”4 That is to say that the I Am that appeared to Moses was there present in human flesh, and God’s Name of Redemption was there manifested, to carry out the Work of Redemption. That is why the name Jesus, which is the name Joshua in Hebrew, represents or means ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’
And now, we can see that it is in the manifestation of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, becoming flesh, the Word becoming flesh, that comes the manifestation of the Name of God.
And now, Jesus could say: “I have come in my Father’s name.”5 And He could also say: “Father, glorify Thy Name”; and God said: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” John testifies to us: in chapter (let’s see) 12 of John, verse 21, it says:
“Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
He glorified it in the First Coming of the Word made flesh, the First Coming of Christ, as the Lamb of God; and He will glorify it again in the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work. It is at the Coming of the Word made flesh that the Name of God is glorified.
And now, we can see that He has to come to His Temple, because that is the place where His Name is.
And now, the promise of Malachi, chapter 3, says, verse 1:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Now, notice, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is God Himself in His theophanic body, is promised to come; and before He comes, He says that He will send His messenger before Him.
And two thousand years ago, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant made flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people was the manifestation of the Angel of the Lord in human flesh in the person of Jesus; and before Jesus appeared manifested in His earthly ministry, John the Baptist came as a forerunner, preparing the people for His Coming. Now, John the Baptist was this forerunner who came before the Messiah, preparing the way for Him.
And now, on the occasion when John the Baptist baptized Jesus, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, came and entered into His human Temple called Jesus, and dwelt in that Temple, and there He was manifested; and through that Temple He carried out the great works relevant to the First Coming of Christ.
And the people who were coming to Jesus asking for a favor, crying out for mercy, were coming before the human Temple of God, where the Name of God was placed for the Work of Redemption. So notice what was happening there.
Now, in the temple that the Hebrew people had in those days, they didn’t have the mercy seat; neither did they have the Pillar of Fire there, in the most holy place of that temple that Herod built; but in the one built by Moses and the one built by Solomon the ark of the covenant was there, there was also the mercy seat with the cherubim, and there was also the Pillar of Fire in the middle of those two cherubim; but not in the temple built by Herod.
Now, notice that in order to build a temple for God, the person has to be ordained by God, in order for the Shekinah, the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, to dwell there, and for the Eternal Name of God to be placed there.
Now, we have seen that we have here eight temples, eight tabernacles; and, notice, all these seven tabernacles represent the Tabernacle that is in Heaven, that Temple of God, which has the place of the Outer Court, Holy Place and Most Holy Place; and all these other temples or tabernacles represent the Temple of God, which is in Heaven.
And now, the Temple of God has an Outer Court, which is this earthly dimension; it has a Holy Place, which is the sixth dimension, that is, Paradise; it has a Most Holy Place, which is God’s dimension, the seventh dimension, where God dwells, and where His Throne is, and where His Name is.
John saw that dimension, John saw God sitting on His Throne, when he in Revelation, chapter 4 ascended to Heaven. He 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.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, 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 before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.”
Now, look here how we also have the three parts shown to John the apostle here: we have where the Throne is, then we have the part of the Holy Place and then we have the Outer Court, where the sea of glass like crystal is. And there, you see, everything is represented, and then all of that materializes, manifests itself, in the midst of the human race.
And now, we can see that everything that happens here on planet Earth, in this mystery of these temples…, of which we have made mention:
• the temple or tabernacle built by Moses and the one built by Solomon,
• the human race as a Temple,
• Israel as a Temple,
• the Church as a Temple,
• Jesus as a Temple,
• every child of God as a temple,
• and David’s tabernacle, that is, David’s house as a temple.
And now, we have in these temples the reflection of the Temple that is in Heaven.
And now, just as Moses took the blood which he brought of the red calf, and then the goat’s blood also, on the day of atonement, and sprinkled it upon the mercy seat, eastward, seven times…; we find that that which Moses did there…; and then he also went out into the holy place with the blood, and he also put it upon the golden altar, and then he also carried the blood further into the outer court, and put it also upon the brazen altar, and so forth; all this speaks to us of the Program of Redemption through the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior.
And see how the human race as a Temple needs the Blood of Christ to be applied to every human being, so that he may live eternally.
And now, the human race as a Temple has an Outer Court, which is from Adam until Jesus; or until John the Baptist; but we can say until Jesus, until Jesus appeared, because Jesus was in the Outer Court, and that is why the Sacrifice of Christ was carried out in the midst of the human race.
Then we have the Holy Place of the human race as a Temple; and that Holy Place is of Christ until this end time, where the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church end. In other words, the seven stages of the gentile Church is the Holy Place of the human race as a Temple, and it is also the Holy Place of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a spiritual Temple.
And the Outer Court of the Church, well, it is everyone who belongs to the time of Christ and back, but who was a believer in Christ; Christ represented in the Old Testament in types and figures: they believed in the goat sacrifice (which represents Christ), they also believed in the sacrifice of the Passover lamb (which represents Christ) and they believed in all those sacrifices that the people offered from Adam until Christ, which were type and figure of the Sacrifice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. All of them lived in the Outer Court of God’s House.
And now, see how from Christ until now, with the Sacrifice of Christ carried out, one already passes into the Holy Place. And not everyone could enter the holy place: only the priests and the high priest could enter.
And now, the Holy Place of the human race and for the human race, you see, is the Church of Jesus Christ going through these seven stages; because the Church of Jesus Christ is a Temple for the dwelling of God in Holy Spirit, as Saint Paul tells us in his letter to the Hebrews: in chapter 3, verse 1 and on, or verse 5 and on (to not read too much), it says:
“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”
And now, notice, just as Moses was faithful in all of God’s House…: he ministered in God’s House as the human race, and also in God’s House as the tabernacle that he raised there, and in God’s House as the Hebrew people; because the Hebrew people is God’s House, it is a Temple, a Temple that represents the Temple of God which is in Heaven.
That is why Israel, the Hebrew people, also has an Outer Court, a Holy Place and a Most Holy Place; the Hebrew people has as Outer Court: the whole territory of Israel, as Holy Place: Jerusalem, and as Most Holy Place: the temple.
But they no longer have the temple; therefore, they need God to place in the land of Israel the true Temple that will be there during the Millennial Kingdom. And now, that will be the Most Holy Place of Israel, and that Temple will be in Jerusalem.
Now, we have seen that also the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, being a Temple, has an Outer Court, Holy Place, Most Holy Place.
And now, the Old Testament saints, you see, belong to the Outer Court; the saints of the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church belong to the Holy Place; and the saints of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Age of the Cornerstone belong to the Most Holy Place.
And now, we find that the priests entered into the holy place, including the high priest; no one else could enter, only the high priest, the priests and the Levites.
And the high priest carried from the outer court, through the holy place, the blood of the atonement, until he came to the most holy place, on the day of atonement. And that is the same thing that Jesus Christ, the High Priest, has been doing in Heaven, in the Temple that is in Heaven, and has been doing in the spiritual Temple, which is His Church.
And now, into the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ enter the priests and the High Priest. And that is why in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 5 and on, it says:
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
He has washed us with His Blood, washed us from our sins, and made us for our God (what?) kings and priests of a New Priestly Order: of the Order of Melchizedek.
And that is why those washed with the Blood of Christ, we find that, by belonging to that Order of the Temple which is in Heaven, they offer to God offerings and sacrifices of praise to our God; and they pray, and ask Christ, the High Priest, for their relatives and for other people, so that God’s mercy may be extended from the Temple which is in Heaven to other human beings.
And now, notice how this Priestly Order is a new order, which has nothing to do with Aaron’s priestly order and his descendants, it has nothing to do with the Levitical priestly order; because the Levitical order, Aaron’s order, is earthly: for the temple that the Hebrew people had here on Earth, and to minister to the Hebrew people the divine blessings.
But with the temple taken away and the sacrifice taken away (which was taken away before God in the middle of the seventieth week,6 with the Sacrifice of Christ), God has a new Sacrifice, which had been represented in the sacrifice of the goat and also of the Passover lamb and other sacrifices that the Hebrew people offered to God; now God no longer accepts sacrifices of animals for sin, because the Lamb of God has already taken away the sin of the world, and His Blood has been placed on the Mercy Seat of the heavenly Temple, of the Temple which is in Heaven.
Therefore, no person can approach God through the old order, but through the New Order, of which Jesus Christ is the High Priest; and He has made us priests for our God; and it is in the Temple which is in Heaven that the work of that Priestly Order is carried out, and in the midst of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is His Church.
And now, seeing that there is a new order, there is a change of ministry: from the earthly priesthood that the Hebrew people had, a change of that earthly priesthood to the heavenly Priesthood of the Temple which is in Heaven; and that Priesthood is manifested on Earth in the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, which is His Church. God no longer accepts another priestly order.
With the Coming of the Messiah, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (who is the same Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham, who is King of Salem and Priest of the Most High God),7 began here on Earth the New Priestly Order, to be manifested here on Earth; which is the Priestly Order of the Temple that is in Heaven, which has always existed, and of which Christ, Melchizedek, is the High Priest. And there is no other. Because the earthly high priest, Aaron, when Aaron died, there came a son of Aaron and took his place: there was a change of priest due to death; and so they were changing from one priest to another priest, the high priest always becoming the successor of the one who had died; and so there was a change of priests; but he always, the position of the high priest, was that which had to do with the sacrifice of the goat and also of the red calf, of which the blood was brought into the most holy place of the temple established in the midst of the Hebrew people.
And now sacrifices are no longer required, nor a high priest of Aaron’s earthly order, of the Levitical order, nor are priests required to minister in the heavenly Temple, but we have a High Priest in Heaven: Jesus Christ, Melchizedek; and He has many children, who are the redeemed with His Blood.
Just as the high priest took the blood of the red calf and made atonement for the priests, so Christ has made atonement for all His children, for all the Priestly Order of the Temple which is in Heaven; and that Priestly Order of the Temple which is in Heaven is made of the firstborn of God, written in Heaven since before the foundation of the world.
And just as God chose the Hebrew people to be a people, a nation, of priests; now the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, is that heavenly nation of priests of the Temple which is in Heaven, of the Order of Melchizedek.
Now, we can see that Aaron’s order was temporary. The Levitical priestly order was temporary, while the heavenly Priestly Order of Melchizedek was being manifested on Earth.
And now, notice how Christ tells us through Saint Paul; in chapter 9, verse 20 and on, it says [Hebrews]:
“Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these (the figures of heavenly things; that is, all that was in the temple, there, which was thus purified with blood, is a type and figure of heavenly things)<em>; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.”
And what are the heavenly things themselves? Well, God’s elect, the sons and daughters of God.
“For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us…”
And now, Christ has redeemed us with His Blood, He has washed us with His precious Blood, He has sprinkled us with His Blood, just as the high priest did back then and Moses did there in the temple. Notice that Moses is the only prophet that enters the temple, both the outer court and the holy place, as well as the most holy place. No other person could enter except the high priest.
And now, Christ is represented in Moses and also in Aaron. That is why Christ bears the Name of God, and He enters the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven.
And now, how did the high priest receive the Name of God?; because the high priest… Notice, there are two places where the Name of God is in the temple: in the most holy place, upon the ark of the covenant, upon the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim, because there is the Angel of the Lord, who has the Eternal Name of God; because it is God Himself in His theophany, in His theophanic body.
And now, the high priest is the man where the Eternal Name of God is; on a golden plate he had written “Holiness to the Lord”; there is the Name of God: written on the forehead of the high priest on a golden plate. He was the one who could enter the most holy place, for he had the Name of God on his forehead, and he carried the blood of atonement and the corresponding garments.
And now, notice that the high priest represents Christ, who could say: “Before Abraham was, I am. Abraham desired to see my day; he saw it, and was glad.”
And now, He is the one who enters into Heaven, into the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven; and He remains there making intercession, from stage to stage, for all those who have their names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, who belong to that heavenly Temple; because our citizenship is heavenly: we are heavenly citizens, not earthly. Our earthly citizenship is in that we are born on this Earth, but our soul and the spirit that we have received from Christ comes from Heaven.
And now, Saint Paul in his letter to the Ephesians, chapter 2, tells us in verses 19 to 22, and verse 10 also… Let’s see, verse 10, it says… Verse 6 and on, let’s see, it says:
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
We are what? “His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” In other words, it is a New Creation that God is carrying out through Jesus Christ. A New Creation, that is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And each person who has been born again, each person has been made a new creation. And Christ is the beginning, the first, of that New Creation. In Revelation, chapter 3, verse 14, it says that He is the beginning of the Creation of God, of that New Creation, of that new race that He is creating, which is a Temple for God.
And now, that New Creation receives a new theophanic body, a body of the sixth dimension, called a theophanic body, equal to the theophanic body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, in which He appeared in the Old Testament, from Genesis to the book of Malachi.
And now, we find that He then became flesh and dwelt among human beings, and thus the Outer Court was created, which is the physical body; for the human being is made of the outer court, which is the physical body; the holy place, which is the spirit; and the most holy place, which is the soul.
And now, the Outer Court of Jesus as the Temple of God is the body; and the Holy Place is the spirit or theophanic body, which is within Him; and the soul is God, who is there within.
And now, we can see that the Church of Jesus Christ, being the Temple of God, also has those who as individuals are the temple of God.
And now, let’s see, in Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 19 and on, it says:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God (and that Household of God is the Temple of God)<em>;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Now, notice, just as Christ is building that spiritual Temple, which is His Church, also each member of His Church as an individual is growing as a spiritual temple; he is a temple as an individual, and belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ, which is the spiritual Temple of Christ for the dwelling of God in Holy Spirit.
And now, that Temple, which is His Church, we find that it has been growing from age to age. And in this diagram we find the Holy Place of that Temple, which are the different stages of Christ until the end of the seventh age of the gentile Church, under the Dispensation of Grace.
In other words, the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, of the Church of Jesus Christ, pertains to and is under the Dispensation of Grace; and therefore the Message of the Dispensation of Grace covers all the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church. The Message of the Dispensation of Grace revolves around the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God taking away sin there on Calvary’s Cross, as the Lamb of God carrying out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross. And notice how Christ has been building His Church, His spiritual Temple.
And a temple is not perfect to be dedicated to God if it doesn’t have the most holy place, where God will dwell in all His fullness, where God will manifest Himself in all His fullness and where God will place His Name; because it was in the most holy place where the Name of God was; because the temple is a house for the dwelling of God, where God places His Name.
And now, it is important to understand these things, because just as the Name of God was in the temple that Moses built, and was in the temple that Solomon built (there in Jerusalem), and was on the high priest (on the forehead of the high priest, written on that plaque or golden plate; and it was a name written as a seal); now, in the Temple of Jesus Christ, which is His Church, He will place His Eternal Name, for He says that He has a new name.
Now, this is one of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God to be revealed in the Last Day. Notice, in Revelation, chapter 2, it speaks of a new name, verse 17; chapter 2, verse 17, of Revelation, it says:
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna…”
Where was the hidden manna? In the most holy place of the temple built by Solomon, as well as in the temple built by the prophet Moses. And where does that hidden Manna have to be in the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ? In the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and the Most Holy Place is the Age of the Cornerstone.
“…and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it (and the one who receives it will be the Overcomer).”
Now, He doesn’t say: “…and those who receive it,” as if speaking of many, but rather: “…which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it,” speaking of one: of the Overcomer, who will receive that little white Stone, in which the new name comes.
That little white Stone is the Second Coming of Christ: the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the Mighty Angel, the Angel that was different from the rest; the Angel of Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, which descends from Heaven wrapped in a cloud, with the rainbow over His head, and with His eyes as a flame of fire, and in His hand He carries an open little Book. That is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ descending in the Last Day in and with His theophanic body.
He is the Angel that appeared on February 28, 1963 with the seven angels of the Church, the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church: He is this Angel that was different from the rest. He is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal, He is the Angel that has the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, which comes with the Eternal Name of God; because the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, is the one that has the Eternal Name of God.
And that is the Angel who guided the Hebrew people, who delivered the Hebrew people and led them to the promised land. That is the Angel that became flesh, and dwelt among the Hebrew people, and was known by the name of Jesus. That is the Angel that has been making intercession in Heaven, because He is the Melchizedek of the Old Testament, He is the High Priest of the Temple that is in Heaven; and for the Last Day He will come in the midst of His Church manifested.
He has been manifested in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, from stage to stage, in every angel messenger of every age. And all this has been, where? In the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, where the priests minister, where the High Priest also ministers.
And Christ being the High Priest, notice, He ministered in the Outer Court, He ministered in the Holy Place…; and He ministers in the Holy Place of His Church, which are the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, He ministers through His seven angel messengers; and He can also minister through the last messenger that He will have in the Age of the Cornerstone: through him He can minister in the Outer Court, in the Holy Place and in the Most Holy Place.
Why? Because there will be blessing for people who will not be able to enter the Holy Place, because they don’t belong to the Priestly Order of Melchizedek, they don’t belong to the elect, the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; therefore, they will not be able to enter the Holy Place, and they have to remain in the place of the Outer Court; those are the foolish virgins. And also those who in the end time, during the great tribulation, will give their lives for Christ; and there it includes gentiles and Hebrews, who will obtain eternal life, but who don’t belong to any of the elect of the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, but there is room for them. That is why God extends His Tabernacle over them:8 the Outer Court; and that is why in Revelation, chapter 15, they appear on the sea of glass mixed with fire.
And where was the bronze sea in the temple? It was in the outer court. They belong, then, to the part of the Outer Court, and not to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ.
And now, the psalmist David said: “May I be in Thy courts”9</sup>; he desired to be in the Outer Courts of the House of God. He also said that God would hide him in His Tabernacle in the day of evil.10 And you see, the psalmist also asked about who would dwell in the House of God: the clean of hands and pure heart11</sup>; and this, the washing of our sins, is obtained through the Blood of Jesus Christ.
And now, Christ, being the High Priest… The high priest, you see, on the day of atonement he had to minister in the outer court; he was the one who sacrificed both the red calf (or the red bullock) for the atonement of himself and the priests, and also sacrificed the goat of atonement. It was the high priest’s place to do this in the outer court, and then he passed through the holy place, and then entered the most holy place.
And now, we can see that Christ, our beloved Savior, being the High Priest, has been ministering both in the Outer Court and in the Holy Place, both in the heavenly Temple as well as in His spiritual Temple. And in this end time is that, just as Christ entered with His Blood into the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven…; but look, He had passed through the Outer Court first, when He was here on Earth; then He passed through the Holy Place, going to where the Old Testament saints were; and then He passed to the Most Holy Place, to the seventh dimension.
And now, that same order is what Christ carries out in His spiritual Temple. He has already passed through the Outer Court; and then we have seen Him in the Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, as He has been building His spiritual Temple; and for this Last Day He passes with His Blood to the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple. And with the Work that He does there, in His spiritual Temple, making there the cleansing of our sins in the Last Day, of the elect of the Last Day: He will finish His Work; and in Heaven He will then finish His work upon the Mercy Seat, and He will come out of that place in Heaven, and He will make His reclamation of all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood.
And then in the Temple that is in Heaven and the Throne of God in Heaven will become a Throne of Judgment, because there will no longer be Blood on the Mercy Seat of the Temple which is in Heaven. And the only temple from where there will be mercy from God to be manifested will be the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is His Church; and it will be from there that all intercession will be made, and it will be from there that God will be petitioned. And the representation of the Temple that is in Heaven, will be where? In that spiritual Temple, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And Jesus Christ will be in Holy Spirit manifested in all His fullness, working in His spiritual Temple, in His Church, as High Priest, with His Eternal Name, His New Name, which He received in Heaven. He will have it manifested in that ministry of High Priest that has been operating in the Most Holy Place.
That is why there, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, He can’t have a messenger of one of the seven ages of the gentile Church, to minister through him in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple; because the ministry that ministered in the Most Holy Place of the Temple that Moses built: you see, the ministry of Moses ministered there, and it’s a dispensational ministry, and then the ministry of Aaron. Then, in the Temple that is in Heaven, the ministry was a dispensational ministry, the ministry of Jesus, the messenger of the Dispensation of Grace, of the sixth dispensation.
Now see how a dispensational ministry ministers in the Most Holy Place of the Temple of God: the ministry of Moses. And then, because God gave Moses Aaron as his helper, then we find that in Aaron was a ministry that could operate in the most holy place; not so in his sons and in the other priests, until Aaron died and one of his sons succeeded him.
And now, we can see that for the Temple in Heaven there is only one High Priest ministry operating there: it is that of Jesus Christ, Melchizedek.
And now, that ministry of Melchizedek has to operate in the Church of Jesus Christ, in a great manifestation in the Most Holy Place, and it has to be through a dispensational prophet.
And the only dispensational prophet that for the Last Day will appear on the scene will be the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with a Messianic Message: the Messianic Message of the Second Coming of Christ; because there is no other Messianic Message for the Church of Jesus Christ and for the Hebrew people, but the Message of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
And now, with that Messianic Message of the Second Coming of Christ is that Jesus Christ, as High Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven, comes to His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone and ministers through His Angel Messenger, who is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Messianic Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, that is, the Second Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in the Last Day.
And now, this mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, for the Last Day, is the greatest mystery of all the mysteries of God. It is the mystery that was opened in Revelation, chapter 8, and when the Seventh Seal was opened, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour. This is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant.
Some people have not understood that the First Coming of Christ was nothing less than the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who delivered the Hebrew people; the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, in whom is the Name of God, who is the Word, who created all things and through whom we find that all things are sustained; who became flesh: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This was in the beginning with God. By Him all things were made (that is, created).” Apart from what He created, no one created anything else. “By Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.”
He is the one who in the beginning created the Heavens and the Earth. In Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1, it says: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Who? God, the Word, who was with God and was God.
In other words, the one who created all things was none other than God Himself in His theophanic body, it was none other than a man of the sixth dimension, which is God Himself in His theophanic body, which is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And now, He became flesh, the Word became flesh (John, chapter 1, verse 14), and dwelt in the midst of human beings, in the midst of the Hebrew people; and was known by the name of Jesus.
And now, we have the promise in Revelation, chapter 19, that the Word will return. It says… Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, it says:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”
And now, notice, it says:
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
It’s the Word of God coming in the Last Day; and He comes with a name that no one understood, that no one knew but Himself.
In other words, now, for the end time, the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, comes with a name that nobody knows. Thats is, just as two thousand years ago the Word made flesh came with the name Jesus…, which is already a name that everyone knows as the name of the First Coming of Christ, as the name of the Coming of the Word made flesh among the Hebrew people as the Lamb of God, taking away the sin of the world there on Calvary’s Cross; now, for the Last Day, the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, returns with a name that no one understands but Himself.
And now, it says:
“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
With the name that He comes, you see, He manifests Himself as King of kings and Lord of lords. He comes with the Name that He will use as King of kings and Lord of lords, sitting on the Throne of David, to reign over the Hebrew people. He comes as Son of Man and Son of David.
Now, this Name, notice, is the Name of the little white Stone; for the little white Stone is Christ; He is the Cornerstone, the Cornerstone that the builders rejected in His First Coming.
And being that He is that little white Stone that comes with a new name that no one understands but he who receives it, He is that Stone cut without hands that the prophet Daniel saw in chapter 2, verse 34 to 45, who interpreted to King Nebuchadnezzar that mystery of the Coming of that Stone, which —according to the divine promise— is the Coming of the Messiah in the Last Day, the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, with the Name that He will use in the glorious Millennial Kingdom as King of kings and Lord of lords, as Son of Man and Son of David.
Now, let’s see that that Name comes in that Stone; He comes with that Name, that Stone, which is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant; the Angel of the Lord, the Mighty Angel, the Angel that was different from the rest, comes with that Name that no one understands.
Now, the name Jesus everybody understands: they know that a young carpenter of Nazareth had it, in whom was the manifestation of God in all His fullness; it was the manifestation of the Angel of the Lord made flesh with the name Jesus, the Name of Redemption; everybody knows that it means ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’
But now, this little Stone —Christ in His Second Coming— comes with a new name, which no one understands.
And does Christ have a new name? And He didn’t tell it to His disciples? When God said… When Jesus said: “Father, glorify Thy Name,” and God said: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again”; that second time is the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and Eternal Name of God.
Now, will Jesus Christ really have a new name? Well, if He has it, He can say so; and if He says so, then we all say that He truly has a new name.
Here it says that the little Stone has a new name; but now, it also says that the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 comes with a name that no one understands. Therefore, it is not the name Jesus</em>; it is a name that no one understands.
Let’s ask Jesus if He really has a new name. If He were here, we would all ask Him: “Jesus, do you have a new name?” Well, look, He already answered us that question. In Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12, it says:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God (that is, a pillar is an important person in that temple), and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God (that is a very great blessing for that Overcomer), and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
Does He or does He not say it? He is the one who says that He has a new name; and He is the one who says that that little white Stone comes with a new name; and He is the one who says that the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 comes with a name that no one understands: “…and his name is called The Word of God.” It is the Coming of the Word, the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant.
And only He can come manifested in the Last Day in a dispensational prophet. And if we find that dispensational prophet, we will find the manifestation of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, coming in the Last Day; and coming with a new name, which no man understands but he that receives it. And the one who will receive it will be that prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why John the apostle wanted to kneel and worship at the feet of the Angel of Jesus Christ on two occasions: Revelation, chapter 19, verse 6 to 10; and Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6 to 9.
Now, look, John the apostle says: in chapter 22, verse 8 and on, he says:
“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”
This Angel is a prophet, that is why he comes testifying of the things that are to happen. And he identifies himself as a fellow servant of the prophets. And if he is a fellow servant: “The Lord will do nothing, except He reveal His secrets to His servants His prophets”12 And if he is a fellow servant, he is a prophet like the other prophets, but he is a dispensational prophet.
That is why through that prophet, Jesus Christ as High Priest has His last manifestation in the midst of His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, where He carries out the last part of His Work, making intercession from Heaven and reflecting it in His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, just as He was making intercession during the seven stages or ages of His Church.
And now, notice, it was only in the manifestation of the high priest that the Name of God was placed on the forehead.
Now notice how on the forehead is placed the Eternal Name of God; the high priest wore it. And in the Work in which Christ in the Last Day will be manifested as High Priest entering into the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, building that Most Holy Place and manifesting Himself in it, where no other person can minister, but Jesus Christ the High Priest through His Angel Messenger…; because no one else could enter in that place, let alone minister in that place.
That is why the ministry of Jesus Christ —the High Priest of the Temple in Heaven— being manifested on Earth through His Angel Messenger in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, is a ministry that will cause the dead in Christ to be resurrected in the Last Day and we who are alive to be transformed.
In the Work that He will do there, where the number of God’s elect will be completed, and where He will finish His work as Priest and become the Judge of all the Earth; you see, that is where the intertwining of Priest, from High Priest, to Judge of all the Earth, and from Lamb to Lion is made; it is there, in the manifestation of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, through His Angel Messenger, in the Age of the Cornerstone. And it is there where He places His New Name, as the Name of God was placed on the forehead of the high priest, who entered the most holy place once a year (that is, one day in the year: the 10th day of the seventh month of each year).
And now, we find that all this mystery pertaining to the Most Holy Place could not be revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ in past ages, because it was the mystery that revolved around the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Angel of the Lord with His Name; because the Name is always held and brought by the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord. “Provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for my Name is (where?) in Him.”
And now, with the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord in the Last Day, comes the manifestation of the Name of God, which the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord brings. And with the revelation of His Coming in the Last Day, the mystery of His Coming is opened to the Church of Jesus Christ; and with that mystery opened to the Church of Jesus Christ, the Church of Jesus Christ receives the faith to be transformed and raptured, and each member of His Church as an individual; because the faith of rapture is where? In the Seventh Seal, which is revealed through the seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10; and the Seven Thunders are the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven, crying out as when a lion roars and the seven thunders uttering their voices.
He is the one who also brings the Book of the Seven Seals already opened in His hand, and gives it to John the apostle to eat, there in the apocalyptic vision; type and figure of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, giving to eat that Title Deed to His Angel Messenger, to the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Last Day.
That being the Title Deed, being brought to Earth, it is brought to Earth for the restoration of all of God’s elect, of all the sons and daughters of God; of all the firstborn of God written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world; for, God’s elect, the priests of the Order of Melchizedek, to be restored to eternal life, and their priesthood to be manifested on this planet Earth, in that glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why in Revelation, chapter 5, verse 9 and on, it says:
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
We will reign on Earth as kings and priests; that is, there will be a new priestly order: the Order of Melchizedek, established on Earth in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
In Revelation, chapter 20, verse 4 to 6, it says:
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
And they shall reign with Him for how many years? And they shall reign with Him (with Christ) a thousand years; and they shall be priests of God and of Christ. Do you see the New Priestly Order? It is the Order of Melchizedek, to which we all belong, being redeemed by the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. He has redeemed us with His Blood and has made us for our God kings and priests of that heavenly Order. So we can see there how the glorious Millennial Kingdom will be.
And everyone will be under the New Covenant; they will no longer be under the Covenant that the Hebrew people have had in the Dispensation of the Law. It is the New Covenant, which for the Hebrew people will be established, which has already been established for the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is under that New Covenant that we are in: under the Blood of the New Covenant, which is the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and the Hebrew people will enter under that New Covenant: under the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, we have seen that soon the Hebrew people will enter that New Covenant.
The Hebrew people, although they still try to remain under the Law; look, although they have remained under the Law, apparently they have been keeping the commandments of God and everything, but the blood of the Old Covenant, you see, we find that they don’t have it; and neither do they have the goat’s blood of atonement; and that is why the divine judgment has been falling upon the Hebrew people for these two thousand years that have passed, and the Hebrew people don’t know why so many problems have come upon the Hebrew nation. And Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin almost exterminated the Hebrew nation.
It is that the New Covenant began with the Blood of the New Covenant, with the Blood of Christ, and the Hebrew people didn’t enter; and because they didn’t enter, they have had all those problems. And now, under the blood of the Old Covenant, God no longer deals with the Hebrew people. So look at all the problems that the Hebrew people have been having by not moving to the New Covenant, under the Blood of the New Covenant, which is the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God and the Goat of the Atonement.
Christ, when He spoke at the Last Supper and took the bread, said: “This is my body, which is broken for you.” And when He took the cup, He said: “This cup is the Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you.”13
And now, you see, a New Covenant has begun from Christ until now.
The Hebrew people are only, a mere two thousand years behind. The Hebrew people are only two thousand years behind, why? Because in the middle of the seventieth week God stopped His dealings with the Hebrew people; in the middle of the week He stopped, and the Program of a new dispensation began: the Dispensation of Grace, and the whole Program of a New Covenant began: under the Blood of Christ. And the Hebrew people have been ignoring this reality; in other words, the Hebrew people have been blind, God blinded His own people; Saint Paul tells us that God hardened them.
Romans, chapter 11, says Saint Paul; chapter 11, verse 25 to 29, says:
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”
In other words, until the very last member of the Church of Jesus Christ has entered; until the very last member of the heavenly Israel has entered; until the very last member of this heavenly Priestly Order has entered. That is, until the last person written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, has entered and the Blood of Christ is made effective in the person; until the last of God’s elect has entered. That is, until the last of the priests of the Order of Melchizedek, and of the heavenly kings.
And now, when the last one enters, that will be when the fullness of the gentiles will have entered: the very last of the elect of the Church of Jesus Christ from among the gentiles will have entered.
The Church of Jesus Christ is made up of Hebrews and gentiles as well. That is why Saint Paul says that there is neither Greek, nor Jew, nor gentile: they are all one in Christ.14 These are God’s elect, God’s firstborn, from among the Hebrews and also from among the gentiles. That is why Saint Paul tells us in his letter to the Galatians, chapter 6, verse 15:
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.”
And the New Creation comes by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit, and thus obtaining the new birth; and thus the person is a new creature; a new creature of that New Creation of sons and daughters of God, which God is creating, which is His Church; she has the members of that New Creation.
And when the very last one enters, the Church of Jesus Christ will have been completed; and the group of the elect in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ will have been completed.
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”
Now, see:
“For this is my covenant unto them (that is, the New Covenant), when I shall take away their sins.”
God will take away the sins of the Hebrew people, why? Because the Hebrew people, on account of having no sacrifice and no temple, their sins have not been covered: they are upon them, and have been from age – from stage to stage. And therefore, because the wages of sin is death:15 the sin of the Hebrew people has demanded divine judgment upon the Hebrew people.
And now, for the Last Day, for the end time, God will take away their sins; and this will be when the fullness of the gentiles enters and then Christ will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people; and then they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.” They will receive Him in His Second Coming; they will receive Him: they will receive the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, with a new name.
They never received the First Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh with the name Jesus</em>; but they will receive Him with the New Name, and then they will understand the history of His First Coming with the name Jesus. And then, their sins will be (what?) taken away; the sin of unbelief, with which and for which they rejected and asked for the death of Christ: and His Blood (the Blood of Christ) was on them, on their hands was found the Blood of Christ. They said: “His blood be on us, and on our children”16</sup>; in other words, they asked judgment on them and on their children, because the Blood of the righteous Jesus required the vengeance of our God on the Hebrew people.
But in this end time mercy will be granted from God, from the Temple of Jesus Christ here on Earth; and Christ from His Throne in Heaven will extend His mercy in the manifestation of Christ in His spiritual Temple here on Earth in the Most Holy Place.
From where was mercy extended to the Hebrew people, in the temple of Moses and the temple of Solomon? From the most holy place. And that is why it is required that the spiritual Temple of Christ has the Most Holy Place, and that the Most Holy Place is in function: from there Christ reveals Himself to the Hebrew people and extends His mercy to the Hebrew people.
That is why during the seven ages of the gentile Church they tried to convert the Hebrew people to Christ, and none of the messengers could, nor the other people who tried to convert the Hebrew people to Christ.
The people as a nation, to Christ, have never been converted; although there have been, in different stages of the Church of Jesus Christ and also in our time, many Hebrews who have believed in Christ as their Savior; that is as individuals; but as a nation, the Hebrew people will be converted to God, to Christ, in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ will be revealing Himself both to His Church and also —then— to the Hebrew people.
Now:
“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are (very) beloved for the father’s sakes.
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”
We have clearly seen there that God will have mercy on the Hebrew people; and that is for this end time, for the Age of the Cornerstone. But the Hebrew people still need to wait for the completion of the number of God’s elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And how is that number going to be completed? Well, from age to age: those of the first age were completed in the first age; and so, from age to age the number of God’s elect of each age has been completed. And for this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, the number of God’s elect relevant to this end time will be completed.
Now, there was a territory where each age was fulfilled and where the elect of each age were, the priests of the Order of Melchizedek, who would be cleansed with the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God and Goat, and also Calf or Red Heifer. In other words, the blood of those sacrifices represents the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior, to cleanse from all sin, to atone, all the priests of the Order of Melchizedek; who are also kings, as Christ is Melchizedek: King and Priest: King of the Heavens and the Earth, and Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven, High Priest.
Therefore, we too, as children of King Melchizedek, are priests of that heavenly Order and we too are kings of the heavenly Kingdom; we too are kings of the Heavens and the Earth, with Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
See how that Priestly Order of Melchizedek has the High Priest Jesus Christ, and also all of God’s elect as priests of the Order of Melchizedek.
Just as the priests of the temple were descendants of Aaron, the high priest, now the descendants of the heavenly High Priest are the priests of the Temple of God.
We have seen this mystery of the Temple, of the true Temple, of the true Tabernacle of God; and we have seen what these tabernacles or temples are that we have seen, like the temple of Moses or tabernacle that Moses built, and the temple that Solomon built; when they were built and dedicated to God, God entered the Pillar of Fire.17
For this end time, when the construction of this spiritual Temple, of the Church of Jesus Christ is finished: Jesus Christ, God, the Angel of the Covenant will enter in all His fullness in His Church, in His Temple, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place; and He will be manifested there on the Mercy Seat, in the midst of the Two Golden Cherubim, which we will talk about in the next activity, because the subject of the next meeting is: “THE CHERUBIM FROM WHERE GOD SPEAKS,” and we will see there how it will be in this end time and in the Millennial Kingdom, and then for all eternity; because this Priestly Order is for all eternity. And the Levitical order, the order of Aaron, was temporary, but this Order is for all eternity.
Now:
• We have seen the temple of tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built.
• We have seen the human race as a Temple.
• We have seen Israel as a Temple of God as well.
• We have seen the Church as a Temple of God.
• We have seen Jesus as a Temple of God. He said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
• We have seen each child of God as an individual, as a temple of God because “you are a temple of God (says Saint Paul), and the Spirit of God dwells in you.”
• And we have seen the temple or tabernacle of David as a temple of God as well, for the Glorious Millennium Kingdom.
And now, the most important thing we need to understand is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a Temple of God, and each one of us as a temple of God as an individual.
Now, where does God complete the number of His elect? In the Age of the Cornerstone. And where is the Age of the Cornerstone fulfilled? That is very important.
Where was the most holy place of the temple of God built by Moses and the one built by Solomon? In the west; in the west was the most holy place. Therefore, in the Temple that Jesus Christ is building we find that it began in the East: the land of Israel, the Middle East; and it continues from East to West, from the East to the West; in other words, from the land of Israel: it goes from the land of Israel to Asia Minor, from Asia Minor to France, and from France to Hungary, from Hungary to Ireland and Scotland, from Scotland to Germany, from Germany to England, from England to North America; and now, from North America, to Latin America and the Caribbean.
During the seven ages of the gentile Church we find that the Holy Place was built with people from Asia Minor, Europe and North America; and now the Most Holy Place is built with Latin American and Caribbean people. That is the mystery of Latin American and Caribbean people in God’s Program: that it’s with Latin American and Caribbean people that He builds the Age of the Cornerstone, the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple. That is why the calling of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet is made in Latin America and the Caribbean.
And look, in Song of Solomon the bride, the bride, says: “Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me.”18 The Second Coming of Christ is represented in the rising of the Sun of Righteousness.19
And now, if we put together all the skin colors of Latin American and Caribbean people, what color comes out? What color do we get? The cinnamon skin color, that is, the brown color. And there we have, in Song of Solomon, the type and figure of the Church of Jesus Christ for the Last Day as well.
It also says that the king…: “The king (he says) brought me into his chamber, the chamber of wine, and his standard over me was love,”20 for it is the Age of Divine Love. And the King’s Chamber is the Age of the Cornerstone, as the king’s chamber in the temple, what was it? The most holy place. And there was the King of Israel: the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who delivered the Hebrew people. Where was He? In His chamber, the most holy place, which was the place where there was no light, except the Light of God, the Light of the Shekinah upon the mercy seat, in the middle of the two cherubim (which we will talk about in the next activity).
Now see how the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ pertains to the West, that is, to the land of Latin America and the Caribbean. In the same way Moses built the temple, and Solomon built the temple, Jesus Christ has been building His Church, His spiritual Temple: the New Temple, the Temple that will remain for the Millennium and for all eternity. That is the New Temple for the glorious Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity, and it represents the Temple of God which is in Heaven; therefore, the things of the Temple of God will be manifested in that New Temple, in His Church.
We have seen this mystery of THE TRUE TABERNACLE, of the true Temple of God for the Millennium and for all eternity, which will be placed on this planet Earth.
Now, we have seen that this spiritual Temple is created, built, according to the design of the heavenly Temple, and therefore it belongs to the heavenly Temple. We are part of that heavenly Temple that will be manifested here on planet Earth, during the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity.
In the next activity we will see what the two golden cherubim are, placed in the temple of Moses and the temple of Solomon in the most holy place; and we will see in the Temple: in the Temple of the human race, and in the Temple of Israel as a nation, and in the Temple of the Church, and in the temple or tabernacle of David, we will see those two cherubim; and we will see who those two cherubim are; and we will also see who those Two Cherubim are in the Temple of God which is in Heaven.
Therefore, for the next activity we will have the subject: “THE CHERUBIM FROM WHERE GOD SPEAKS.”
On this occasion we have seen: “THE TRUE TABERNACLE.” And we have seen eight tabernacles; seven of them represent one: they represent the heavenly Temple or Tabernacle of God.
And now, where do we find ourselves? Well, we are in THE TRUE TABERNACLE OF GOD: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ here on Earth, which represents the heavenly Temple or Tabernacle of God. See where the representation of the heavenly Temple of God is at: it’s here on Earth, and it’s the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, in which part of that Temple are you in? Well, I am in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple. And you? You are also in that place. That is where all of us are.
Now, those who remained in the Dispensation of the Law are in the Outer Court; those who remain in the Dispensation of Grace are in the Holy Place; and those who pass to the Age of the Cornerstone are in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, where everything that is in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple of God will be manifesting, which we will see in more detail in the next activity, under the title: “THE CHERUBIM FROM WHERE GOD SPEAKS.” And we will see how God would be speaking from the midst of the Two Golden Cherubim from His spiritual Temple.
Well, may the blessings of Jesus Christ from His Temple or heavenly Tabernacle be upon all of you who are in the spiritual Temple of Christ, in the Church of Jesus Christ, and may they materialize in each one of you and in me also; and may soon the number of God’s elect in the spiritual Temple of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, be completed; and may soon the dead in Christ be resurrected in eternal bodies, and we who are alive be transformed, and be taken to the House of our heavenly Father in Heaven, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
May God continue to bless you all, may God keep you; and onward serving Christ in THE TRUE TABERNACLE, in His Church, in the present time, that is, in the present age, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
Let’s have here Felix Caro again to continue, and also conclude this morning’s activity, and then prepare for the next activity.
I don’t know what time they have over there… 1:10 in mine; time no longer works in mine. It has been stopped for some time now. So for my watch and for me here, time is no longer (in mine). But time is still running, and one day it will be literally so for the human race as well: time will be no more, when Christ comes forth from the Throne of Intercession.
Well, we are going to leave Felix Caro here with us, to continue with some hymns, and then be dismissed in prayer; and then we will be back, and at 3:00 in the afternoon, we will be back again, to continue and see the great blessing that God has given us in this end time.
We still don’t understand even… (let’s say) one tenth of the great blessings that God has given us in this end time; but little by little we are understanding, as we are receiving the Word of God.
In the evening we will see these great blessings that He has for us in this end time, in addition to those we have already seen on this occasion.
May God continue to bless you all, may God keep you, and may you continue to have a day filled with the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
