Good evening, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, at this end time, in the stage relevant to this time of the Church: the Age of the Cornerstone.
It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For this reason, let’s read in Nehemiah, chapter 4, verses 14 to 17, where it says:
“And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject is: “FIGHTING FOR OUR PEOPLE AND FOR OUR FAMILY.”
In this passage that we’ve read, we find that everything revolves around the restoration of God’s temple in Jerusalem.
God had said through the prophet Jeremiah that they would spend seventy years there in Babylon (or where was it, Miguel? In… [Bro. Miguel: Babylon] In Babylon), and then they would return to the land of Israel for the restoration of the temple.[1]
And in the prophecy of Daniel chapter 9, it tells us there that there would be seventy weeks in which the restoration would be carried out. The first seven years [weeks] had one stage of the Divine Program, and then another sixty-two weeks, which would be… (62 times 7 equals 14… and…) it’s four hundred and what? 434 years; in other words, it would be strenuous, hard work, and it would be in (what kind of times?) troubling times.
The restoration of Jerusalem and of the temple would establish the foundation, would lay the foundation, and so forth; Zerubbabel and Joshua would be there; and then different men sent by God would come (in different stages of that restoration).
And now, we find that this was the case with the restoration of the temple and of the city.
And therefore, since that happened among the earthly Israel, the Hebrew people, it is also a type and figure of the heavenly Israel and the things that would happen among the heavenly Israel; because we find the captivity of the heavenly Israel: they were taken to Babylon spiritually, and then we find… That was around the year 325, from that point on, from the time of Constantine and that entire period as well.
But then, just as there was a restoration of the earthly Jerusalem and of the earthly temple there in Jerusalem, there is also the mention of the restoration of the heavenly Israel, of the heavenly Jerusalem, and of God’s Temple, that heavenly Temple: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is a spiritual Temple.
And just as the fight that they would have was for their people and for their family, for their daughters, their sons, their wives, and their houses; now the fight in the spiritual field is for our people, the heavenly people of God, the ones written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; it’s for our family, so that they receive salvation and Eternal Life; and it’s for our house, our family, our descendants; and for the entire Family of God.
Therefore, we must be aware of these things; for this fight is not against flesh and blood, but against powers in the airs, principalities, and the entire kingdom of darkness, which uses the earthly to rise against Christ and the whole Program of Christ, of Christ and of His Church; because he doesn’t want the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to be restored to how It was when It was born on the Day of Pentecost.
The restoration of the foundation, of the groundwork on which the foundation is laid, and the restoration of the wall, notice, all of this has a meaning in the Divine Program.
Let’s see what Zechariah tells us in chapter 4, verse 8 and on… (let’s see…), verse 1 and on, let’s see:
“And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house…”
There we have the way the foundation of the house would be laid: Zerubbabel would lay it.
“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
In those days, the two anointed ones here on Earth who stood before God were Prince Zerubbabel (the ruler there in Judah, a descendent of King David) and Joshua the high priest. That is why in chapter 3, verse 1 and on, it says [Zechariah]:
“And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by.
And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying,
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.
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.
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.”
And now, here in chapter 4, verse 11… verse 10, it says [Zechariah]:
“For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”
And now, in the heavenly Jerusalem and the heavenly Temple, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (and the heavenly Jerusalem: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ), we find that there are seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that run to and fro through the whole Earth. It says in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 4:
“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 (the) throne…”
And now let’s look at those seven spirits which are before the Throne: Revelation, chapter 4, verses 4 to 5, says:
“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.”
They (the twenty-four elders) are the twelve patriarchs, sons of Jacob, and the twelve apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. “And before the throne there was…” Let’s see:
“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 here we can see what the seven spirits of God are: the seven lamps of fire that are before the Throne of God in Heaven.
And now, 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.”
And now, the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the Earth are the seven eyes that are on the seven horns of the Lamb. The seven horns are the seven stages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. All of this has been materializing in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Heaven is being materialized in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the heavenly Jerusalem, and also the spiritual Temple of Christ.
And now, everything we saw back then, in the earthly Jerusalem and in the earthly temple in the midst of the Hebrew people, is also what would be seen in the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the spiritual Jerusalem and the spiritual Israel.
Now, we can see… Let’s see a bit further here: in Revelation, chapter 21, verse 9 and on, it says:
“And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
And had a wall great and high (there we have the wall)…
And had a wall great and high and had twelve gates, and at the (twelve) gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”
And now, notice, on the wall are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
“And he that (was talking) with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.”
And now, notice this here in Revelation 11 (we will continue there later on)… The City would be measured, but notice, here, in Revelation 11, verse 1 and on, it says:
“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”
Now, let’s continue here in chapter 21; verse 15, let’s continue there, it says:
“And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.”
It says there that the foundation of the wall, the foundations, were garnished with twelve types of stones. We find that the names of the apostles were written on the wall.
Now, in the restoration of the wall comes the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: being restored to the faith of the apostles. There we have the restoration of the wall.
And so on and so forth, all that work of restoration of Christ continues; because Christ is typified there in Zerubbabel and in Joshua; because Christ is the Prince of His people, and He is also the High Priest of the heavenly Temple.
Let’s see what it tells us in Zechariah, chapter 6, verse 12:
“And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord:
Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”
Here we can see Christ represented in Prince Zerubbabel, who would build the temple and would also then sit – as prince and as ruler, and he would rule upon his throne; a type and figure of Christ carrying out the restoration of His Temple, His Church, His Mystical Body of believers, carrying out the restoration of the human being back to what it was before the fall of the human being (the human being was a temple of God); and also back to what the Church was in the days of the apostles.
Now, we find that everything we do, all the fight and the work we carry out is for our people and for our Family: it’s for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is our people, which is the heavenly Jerusalem and the heavenly Israel; and it’s for our family, our heavenly Family —because we are descendents of God, we are God’s Family— and also for our earthly Family: our wife, our children, and our relatives, so that they receive the blessing of salvation and Eternal Life.
That is why we work in the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ in this labor of restoration: the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ back to what It was before that time of the year 325; back to what It was before that year, from that point backward, what It was – how It was in the time of the apostles, that is what the Church is restored to at this end time.
Therefore, in the Work of restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, of the Temple of Jesus Christ, and of the spiritual Jerusalem, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, that is what we are fighting for and working towards.
But there are always adversaries, like Sanballat, Tobiah, and who else? [Bro. Miguel: There was another one there… uh… Gel-… What was his name?] And others there who opposed the restoration of the earthly Jerusalem and of the earthly temple, because they didn’t want God to return to His temple and God’s Glory to be manifested in the temple, and God’s blessing to come upon the Hebrew people.[2]
But Nehemiah was a mighty man, who worked along with his servants on the restoration of the temple.
And likewise, the messengers that Christ has sent from stage to stage have worked on the restoration of the Temple of God; and that is how it is at this time as well. Therefore, we are fighting for our people and for our family.
Even though there are adversaries who are inspired by the kingdom of darkness, to whom the enemy of God, the devil, sends evil spirits and anoints with those evil spirits so that they rise against the Word of the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ; and people arise who try to make those who are in the Work of restoration fearful or afraid; and also people who prophesy – who speak and prophesy that their work won’t amount to anything.
As they said to Nehemiah and to those who were laboring in the work: that a fox could come (was that it?) and knock down the bricks; in other words, that the work that was being done was so weak that it was good for nothing.[3]
But God was with Nehemiah and his people, and the work was the work of restoration of the city and of the temple, which was prophesied in the prophecies of Daniel chapter 9. Therefore, they were working according to what was promised for that time; they were instruments of God in the work of the restoration of Jerusalem, of the wall, and of the temple.
And now, we are fighting for our people and for our families in the Work of the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We can’t be lending an ear to the criticism, to the threats, and to the advice against what God wants us to do at this time, which is established in His Word. What He wants us to do is labor in the Work of the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ until the Church reaches Its total perfection, and the dead in Christ are raised in glorified bodies, and we are transformed, which will happen with the Coming of the Glory of Jesus Christ in and to His Church at this end time, in which He will fill His Church with Glory.
And when the Hebrews see the Glory of Christ manifested in all His fullness in His Church, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for!” But He doesn’t come for them, He comes for His Church.
It will be in the spiritual Temple of Christ —which will be fully restored in those days— that the Hebrew people will see Christ manifested in all His Glory and in all His fullness, coming in the Glory of His Father with His Angels, and carrying out the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.
Just like in the time when Moses dedicated the temple or tabernacle to God, and in the time when Solomon dedicated the temple to God, the Glory of God came in the Pillar of Fire; and the priests couldn’t minister, they didn’t know how to minister, because God’s glory was there, in the temple, when it was dedicated.[4]
And when the spiritual Temple of Christ is dedicated, when it is completed and dedicated to God, to Christ: Christ will come in His glory and will take that Temple, and in that Temple He will manifest Himself in all His fullness.
And from there the mercy of Christ will be extended to the Hebrew people, and the intercession for the Hebrew people will be there; and that is where the Hebrew people will see Christ and will receive Him and obtain Christ’s mercy; because God’s mercy will not be there in Heaven, rather, the heavenly Throne will be a Throne of Judgment, because there will be no Blood on the heavenly Throne. But the Blood will be in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: applied in their hearts.
And Christ will be in His spiritual Temple, in the most important part, which is the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple. Because He has already passed through other stages of His Church, through the Holy Place; but in none of those stages did He extend His Mercy to and deal with the Hebrew people as a nation, but rather individuals among the Gentiles and individuals among the Hebrews; yet not the Hebrew people as a nation.
God’s mercy is extended from the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; it’s from there that Christ will extend His mercy to the Hebrew people. That is why they will see Him coming to His Church, and they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.” Which now – for now, we can’t speak much about, so that God’s Program isn’t interrupted.
But let’s see here, on page 150 and 151 of the book of Quotations, what will be happening in this end time; 151, paragraph 1345,[5] says:
1345 – “[175] And the glory of God was in there, till the pe-…they couldn’t even see how to minister.”
This was both in the time of Moses and in the time of Solomon when the temple was dedicated. In the time of Solomon it happened this way.
1345 – “[175] Amen.
It’ll close the eyes of every theologian, when He comes for His Bride. She’ll be taken up in the—in the middle of the night, as it was, to them. They won’t even see Her go.”
See? What happened there will be repeated in the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
Also on page 151, paragraph 1348,[6] it says [Quotations]:
1348 – “[193] ‘The trumpet will sound, the dead shall rise first; then we’ll be caught up with them.’ When the glory of God will be upon the earth, it’ll hide the Church away from the world. It won’t even see It when It goes.”
Now notice, that all this has to do with the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Her restoration; that is why the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, is being restored.
And now, we are in a very important stage.
Remember that in Daniel’s prophecy, there are seventy weeks of years, which are four hundred and… (how many years, Miguel?) ninety years. In the last seven years, which are – which start with… It’s 490 years; on the 483rd year, at the end of it the 484th year begins, then the 485th, then the 486th, then the 487th, then the 488th, then the 489th, and then the 490th. See? There you have the seven years, which is the last week: the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy, week seventy.
Now, we find that in the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy, we find Christ having His three-and-a-half-year ministry in that week; and when He died (in the middle of that week), that week paused; and the Hebrew people have three and a half years left, which also corresponds to the three and a half years of the great tribulation.
And we find that for God to begin dealing with the Hebrew people, there must be the fulfillment of those three and a half years that are left in the antitype —which is the Church of Jesus Christ (which is a type and figure of the earthly temple and the earthly Jerusalem)— all seventy of those weeks must have been fulfilled in the spiritual realm.
And when it comes to the spiritual realm, then the time of the restoration of the prophecy of Daniel 9 is no longer subject to 490 years; but all of that has a fulfillment in the spiritual, even if it isn’t subject to —literally— 490 years.
Now, we find that in the seventieth week, or week seventy, the ministry of the Messiah had to begin, and in the middle of the week He had to die.[7]
Now, this is, therefore, the framework of the manifestation of the Seventh Seal at the end of the seven stages or ages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and therefore, this entire matter of the seventieth week corresponds to the Age of the Cornerstone. And we’re not going to explain too much there.
And all of this is not subject to a number of years, although when the whole Program ends: yes, then we will be able to see how many years God had in His Program for that Messianic stage, for the stage that Reverend William Branham foreran; because He is forerunning a stage that will come in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as John the Baptist was forerunning a stage that would come in the midst of the Hebrew people; and before the coming of the stage when the Messianic ministry would be fulfilled, and when the seventieth week would be fulfilled; before that, the Messiah was already on Earth: the veil of flesh in which the Angel of the Covenant was made flesh, had already been on Earth for nearly thirty years.
And if the Spirit had on Earth the veil of flesh in which the Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Holy Spirit would manifest Himself in human flesh; if He had him on Earth for nearly thirty years, and then He manifested Himself in His earthly ministry to fulfill the first part of the seventieth week, the first part… and He will fulfill the second part in that time period of the great tribulation (this is with the Hebrew people).
But before that, on Earth Christ will have His manifestation in the midst of His Church; and that will fulfill everything that was prophesied by the Holy Spirit through Reverend William Branham, who said that: “The Holy Spirit, this Spirit that we have now,” he says He will be made flesh.[8]
Therefore, in order to become flesh, He will have a veil of flesh; and that veil of flesh will have to grow until he reaches the time in which that part of his ministry is fulfilled, that part when Christ will fulfill through him what He has to carry out through a veil of flesh. It will be Christ in Holy Spirit manifested on Earth in the midst of His Church.
“The Holy Spirit will come incarnate in a man,” Reverend William Branham said. What is he doing? He is forerunning the Coming of the Holy Spirit in human flesh.
Now, all of that has to do with what corresponds to the seventieth week, for the Hebrew people there. That there reflects what Christ will do in His Church. And that pertains to the last part of Christ and His Church.
Now, let’s leave that alone; because there are many great things, where there are great blessings for us, but we have to keep fighting and working in the Work of the restoration of the Church until each stone of the spiritual Temple of Christ is put in its place, and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is completed.
And then Christ will stand up from the Father’s Throne, take the Title Deed, open It in Heaven, and come down to Earth with the little Book open in His hand, and He will give it to a man to eat; that man will eat it and prophesy before many peoples, nations, and tongues, under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
And it will be the first time someone eats the Title Deed for the restoration of all things, for the total restoration of all God’s elect to physical eternal life.
And when that becomes a reality, when Christ takes the Title Deed, opens It in Heaven, and gives It to a man on Earth and he eats It, then, from that point on, all problems will end. And then that man will speak plainly, he will speak plainly before many peoples, nations and tongues the things that will happen; because he will have the Title Deed. And that means that by having the Title Deed…
Notice, if Adam (who had the Title Deed, but hadn’t eaten It)… could say to the trees: “Mango tree, move from here to there,” and it would move; or he could tell a mountain: “Move from here to there,” and it would move; because he had the creative Word of God in him. Christ also did these things.
But notice, no one ate that Title Deed, but now… It’s in Heaven, in the right hand of God, still; but that Title Deed, Its content, is being fulfilled in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ from stage to stage.
Those who have been called in each age by the Holy Spirit through the messenger of each age: are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and they are called and brought out of the kingdom of darkness and placed in the Kingdom of Christ, in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Church of Jesus Christ, in full union with Christ.
And the call made by the Holy Spirit in each age has called and gathered the elect of each age. And the call of Christ for this time calls and gathers the elect of this end time with the Great Voice of Trumpet. Not the trumpets of the seven ages, and not the messengers of the seven ages, but rather the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Age of the Cornerstone.
Therefore, at this time things and the things contained in the Title Deed, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, which is the Book of the Seven Seals, are being fulfilled; things are being fulfilled. But then the Book will be opened; and there in the history of that Book will appear the part relevant to our time and the people relevant to our time, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, as well as what they have done in the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ in the restoration of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ; who have been fighting for our people and for our family.
We are heavenly citizens. “Our conversation is in Heaven, from where we also look for our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.” With that power, He will transform our physical body according to Phillippians, chapter 3, verses 20 to 21.
Therefore, onward, fighting for our people and for our Family! And we will have them with us in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, and also in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
Therefore, fight for our people and for our heavenly Family, and for our earthly family: our wife, our children, and our relatives, so that they come into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ our Savior; and make the faith of the believers in Christ grow more every day.
How does faith grow? As the person hears the Word of Christ relevant to the time in which the person is given to live; because faith comes by hearing (hearing what?), hearing the Word of God;[9] the Word of God for the time in which the person is living. With that Word, he feeds his soul and his faith grows, and he develops faith muscles.
Just like with physical food, people grow and develop muscles, and they grow in stature: from being a baby to being an elderly person. That’s how it is spiritually with faith muscles; it takes the spiritual Food of the revealed Word of God for the time in which we have been given to live.
And let’s see here on page 150, paragraph 1342,[10] at the end he says:
1342 – “[137] ‘But our pastor…”
Referring to the people – to the denominations that say: “But our pastor says such-and-such a thing.” Now look, he says:
1342 – “[137] You show them right here in the Word of God where it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. ‘But our pastor…’
I don’t care what your pastor says, don’t care what I say, or anybody else says. If it’s contrary to God’s vindicated Word, the hour, the time, the Message, and so forth, forget it. Stay away from it.”
Stay away from everything contrary to God’s Word for the hour and the time in which you are given to live. Stay away from everything contrary, but stay in the Word of God for the time in which you and I are given to live; and keep fighting for our people and for our heavenly Family and our earthly family: our children – our wife, our children, and our family members.
Let’s always fight with our faith set on Christ and His promises!
In Hebrews, chapter 6, verse 12, it says: “That ye be not…” [verse 11]:
“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
We must be followers of them who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
In chapter 11, verse 13, it also says… verses 32 to 33 says, of Hebrews chapter 11, verses 32 to 33, says:
“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.”
Followers of these mighty people, who, through faith, obtained promises that God had made; who, through faith, obtained the fulfillment of what God had promised; they inherited the promises that God had made.
And there are great promises for us at this end time, which, through faith and patience, a group of believers in Christ will inherit. And who are those people? All of us, because we are fighting for our people and for our family.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and also upon me; and may He strengthen us and use us greatly in His Work of restoration at this time, in this fight for our people and for our family.
Thank you very much for your kind attention; and may God continue to bless you and use you greatly in His Work at this end time.
With us again, Missionary Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín.
“FIGHTING FOR OUR PEOPLE AND FOR OUR FAMILY.”
