Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present, ministers and their congregations in different countries. May the blessings of Christ be upon all of you in this new year that has begun, and we now have the first Sunday service of this new year, in which we expect great blessings from God, may He open the Scriptures to us, and our hearts and minds to understand them in this time in which we live, which is the end time.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I beg You, oh God, to bless Your people, Your Church, with the blessings from Heaven and Earth, may You prosper them spiritually and materially, and use them greatly in Your Work in this end time. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
My greetings to Missionary Miguel Bermudez Martin, who spoke to us a few minutes ago, and to all the brethren and ministers there in Venezuela and in different nations.
I reiterate my appreciation and gratitude for the support you are giving to the construction project of the Great Tent-Cathedral in Puerto Rico. May God bless you greatly and use you this New Year in a multiplied manner, every one of you in different countries and also those in Puerto Rico, so that we may have the Great Tent-Cathedral built soon.
On this occasion, we read in Saint Luke chapter 1, verses 26 and on, which identifies for us who the Lord Jesus Christ is, who was born in Bethlehem of Judea through the Virgin Mary. Chapter 1, verses 26 and on of Saint Luke tells us:
“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
May God bless our souls with His Word; may He open the Scriptures to us, and our understanding in order to comprehend them. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Our subject for this Bible study is: “THE KINGDOM AND THRONE OF DAVID.”
The Throne of David is the Throne of God on Earth. The Scripture testifies about this, when it tells us in First Kings… and it also speaks to us in Chronicles about the Throne of David as the Throne of God.
It is important to know that God promised David that his Kingdom would be forever; He made a covenant with David, which is why the coming Kingdom or the Millennial Kingdom of the Messiah belongs to Christ as the Son of David. That is why Christ, the Messiah, is the Heir to the Throne of David according to Archangel Gabriel’s words to the Virgin Mary.
We are required to know this mystery, these prophecies, in order to know what the future of humanity will be. There is a glorious future in which millions of people will live in the Kingdom of God, which is promised to take place according to the Divine Program.
Let us read in the Scripture of Revelation chapter 11; where it says that the kingdoms of this world will become of the Prince Messiah promised in the Scripture. Revelation chapter 11, verses 15 and on tells us:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
We can see here that the kingdoms of this world will be given to the Prince Messiah, the Son of David descendant of King David at a certain time appointed by God, and this will be after the great tribulation. It continues saying:
“And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
This is what has been promised to happen at the Last Day after the coming of the Lord to His Church has taken place, after He has resurrected the believers in Him who have died in eternal and glorified bodies, and changed those who are alive, and has carried out the rapture or catching away of His Church and taken them to the House of the Heavenly Father (God) for the important feast of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, wherein Christ and His Church, His Bride, His Wife, will be endued as Kings of this planet Earth.
The Scripture tells us in Revelation chapter 1, verses 5 to 6… “John…” verses 4 to 6:
“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
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.”
Notice, Christ washed us with His Blood from all sin and has made us kings and priests unto our God.
Then in chapter 5, verse 11 and on… 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.”
In other words, all the believers in Christ that form the mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (who are the people who have received Christ as Savior), have been baptized in water in His Name and Christ has baptized them with the Holy Spirit and fire. They have been redeemed by Christ and made kings and priests and also judges, because the saints will judge the world, and they will reign with Christ on this Earth during the Millennial Kingdom and then throughout eternity.
Revelation chapter 20, verse 4 and on (verses 4 to 6), 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.”
A thousand years reigning with Christ in the Kingdom of the Messiah, and Christ seated in the Throne of David as King, and the Church will reign, She will rule over all the nations under the crown of the Messiah, of Christ; Christ reigning over the planet Earth with His Church.
“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.”
Remember that the first resurrection is to eternal Life and therefore, in eternal and glorified bodies like the glorified Body of Jesus Christ.
“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.”
This Kingdom of the Messiah is the one Christ spoke to His disciples about in Saint Matthew chapter 19, verses 27 and on. It says:
“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration (this is in the Millennial Kingdom of the Messiah) when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Christ is already telling them the blessings they will have in His Millennial Kingdom, in which Christ will be as the Son of David, as the Heir to the Throne of David, reigning over Israel and over all the nations.
For that reason, let us also read Saint Luke chapter 22, and then we will see something that any mother would have done for her children. Saint Luke chapter 22, verse 28 and on says:
“Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
He also speaks to them here about thrones, where the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ will be seated to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Christ is already giving them knowledge of the position they will have in the Kingdom of the Messiah. Since the apostles knew about this handing out of positions in the Kingdom of the Messiah, surely James and John told their mother, and their mother comes with her children to ask for a certain exclusive position there will be in the Kingdom of the Messiah.
In Saint Matthew* chapter 20, verses 20 and on says:
“Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.”
She knew those two positions were the main positions in the Kingdom of the Messiah, because they are also the main positions in the Heavenly Kingdom.
“But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.”
Whoever is seeking God’s blessings cannot see problems or the obstacles, what he must see is the goal he wants to reach. In God’s Kingdom there are great blessings and great positions to be conquered by faith, by believing and working to sit with Christ in His Kingdom in all those positions there are for the believers in Christ as kings. If they are kings they will have the positions of kings, they belong to the royalty of the Kingdom of the Messiah.
The highest position in a kingdom is royalty, for which they must be descendants of kings; and if they are not literal descendants, then it must be through marriage. And through Christ and His Church in their Marriage, notice, they also have those blessings, because the believers in Christ are from different nations, from all nations, but with their union to Christ, they become joint-heirs with Christ of the Kingdom and of all the blessings of the Kingdom of God which will be established on Earth.
Therefore, we want the best positions in the Kingdom of the Messiah. I desire them for all of you just as I do for myself. All the good I desire for myself, I desire it for you as well, and I show you how to conquer those blessings. If Christ were here we would ask Him, but Christ is here, in the Word. Let us ask Him how to receive those blessings. Revelation chapter 22, verse 12 tells us:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
It is by working.
In the parable of the talents and the parable of the pounds also, those who receive blessings are the ones who work with the talents that God has given them. There, the talents were money.
And among Christianity, there are talents of money, and there are different talents that God gives a person to work in the Work of the Lord: those who sing have the talent of singing, and so forth. Those who are financially blessed have financial talents, and even those who have the least, like the widow who only had two coins and put them in the Work of the Lord. Christ said that she gave more than all the others, who were casting great offerings to the treasury, because she was giving everything she had, one hundred percent; the rest only gave a portion of the plenty they had.
In other words, everyone has the same possibility to do what? Make treasures in Heaven, in the Kingdom of God. Christ Himself recommended to His believers to lay up treasures in Heaven. There, they do not lose value, but rather, they multiply: all those treasures that you make in the Kingdom of Christ increase in value.
The Lord taught the young rich man to put in the Work of the Lord… He said: “Sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and then come and follow me and you will have treasures in Heaven, in the Kingdom of God.”
We will look up that parable or that teaching that Christ gave to the rich man later, and let me know what passage it is so I can read it to you in a few minutes (you can give it to Humbertito, and he will give it to me on a piece of paper so I can read to you what Christ told the rich young man).
In the Scripture we read of Saint Matthew chapter 19, verses 27 and on says:
“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?”
And He begins to explain to him that they will sit on twelve thrones (meaning on a throne) and whoever sits on a throne is a judge and also a king in the Kingdom of Christ.
It was in Saint Matthew 19 that it mentions the rich man or the young rich man, and according to what I see here… The young rich man, chapter 19, verse 16 and on says:
“And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith unto him (the young man did), Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
The eye of a needle was the entrance, let’s say, to a city or a place; it was a door or entrance, short and narrow; and since camels have a hump (some even have two) then they couldn’t go through. And if it was difficult for them to go through, Jesus says it’s even more difficult for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, because they have their heart set on wealth.
“When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
Now notice, the disciples say:
“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?”
Because Christ says to the young rich man: “And thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.” In other words, if the young rich man did what Christ told him, he would have treasures in Heaven. And He tells him: “And come and follow me.” He also had to follow Jesus; not only did he have to give everything he had to the poor, but also follow Jesus.
Now if we go to Saint Mark and Saint Luke, let us see what it tells us about the young rich man. Saint Mark chapter 10, verses 17 and on… since we are talking about the Kingdom and Throne of David, and we have been reading these Scriptures. The disciples wanted to know what they would have in the Kingdom of the Messiah when the Messiah would sit on the Throne of David. Chapter 10, verse 17 and on says:
“And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him…”
Notice, Christ loves every person: every young person, adult or child who keeps God’s commandments, because upon hearing the young many say, “all these have I observed from my youth,” and beholding him, He loved him.
We all want to have the love of Christ toward us, we all want Christ to love us.
Now, let us see how He loved this young man:
“Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest…”
And it is important to know what we are lacking, what Christ wants us to do. In the Scripture of Saint Matthew, He says: “You lack one thing to be perfect…”
“One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross.”
He doesn’t say he will not have problems by following Christ, but rather: “take up the cross.” That means that by following Jesus he will go through certain trials. Some people believe, imagine or think that by receiving Christ as Savior, their problems ended. They will have struggles and problems; for some, when they get home others will start to wage a war against them for having received Christ as Savior. The enemy will use different people to separate you from the Lord.
In the parable of the sower it says that the one who was planted next to the path is the one who hears the word and receives it, then the devil comes and takes out that which was sowed in their heart, using different people and bringing different problems to the person so that they leave Christ, and thus they take out that Word that was sowed in their soul, in their heart.
Never let the enemy take out of your heart whatever was sowed in your soul, in your heart; don’t let him take out that Word of faith in Christ for any reason, because the enemy will bring you certain problems, or will cause you certain problems or things to discourage you and make you distance yourself from the Lord, and you are the one who loses; but if you remain steadfast you obtain victory and God’s blessings for all eternity.
How many things have happened to you or have you seen that have discouraged you? That is the devil trying to take out that seed, that Word that was sown in your soul, so that you don’t live eternally. But keep your eyes on the goal: eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.
“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”
It is not bad to have riches, but it is bad to put your trust in them, to have your heart set on them, that is what is bad. Put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, in God. And learn to use your riches well, and above all, in the Kingdom of God, in the Kingdom of Christ.
Then verse 28 of this same chapter, chapter 10 of Saint Mark, says:
“Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.”
We have a clear picture of how everything that we place in the Hands of the Lord for His Work has a reward in the Kingdom of the Messiah, in the Kingdom of God: spiritual and material blessings, and in the Kingdom of Christ: eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom; as kings, priests and judges, as members of the royalty of the Kingdom of the Messiah, because they are believers in Christ and they work in the Work of Christ at all times, whether a little or a lot.
Christ is the only hope for the human being, and the only path that leads to God. Christ rightly said in Saint John chapter 14, verse 6 when He says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father but by me.”
In other words, it is not a matter of thinking that all religions lead to God, that all paths lead to God. There is only one way, and Christ is the way, and He identifies Himself as the way that leads to God.
There is no way to reach God except through Jesus Christ, that is why He is the High Priest of the Heavenly Temple, the Intercessor, the One who intercedes for us before God. He is also the Advocate, our Advocate before the Lord, the one who advocates for us in the presence of God. And we will have all the rewards in the Kingdom of the Messiah, to enjoy them in His Kingdom.
We walk by faith, we work by faith in the Work of Christ, and we remain with our faith steadfast in Christ all the days of our lives, knowing that everything we do for Christ and His Work transcends to the Kingdom of God, to the Kingdom of the Messiah; and we will be with Him there enjoying all the blessings that He has promised to give to all those who believe in Him, follow Him, and work in His Kingdom.
The blessing that the mother of James and John wanted for her sons, from what we can tell, is the greatest one of all. Christ says, that blessing “is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared for.” In other words, He will give that blessing to someone.
Verse 23 of Saint Matthew chapter 20 says:
“And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.”
That is the position that corresponds to the Two Olive Trees, which are Moses and Elijah, who appeared on Mount Transfiguration, one at the right and one at the left hand.
The disciples: Peter, James, and John, had already been on Mount Transfiguration in chapter 17, which precedes these chapters (18, 19 and 20). In other words, they had already seen that one is at the Lord’s right, and the other is at His left; and that is the vision of the second coming of Christ.
The order of the second coming of Christ is with the Two Olive Trees, which it is not wise to talk a lot about, so that no imitations arise and affect the Divine Program. Reverend William Branham says that this is why the Seventh Seal was kept in silence: there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour to avoid imitations.
And what Reverend William Branham knew regarding the Seventh Seal, which is the second coming of Christ, he was told not to speak anything about it, and this because if he said something, the enemy of God, the devil, would hear, and then he would imitate it so that when the Seventh Seal is fulfilled, and everything that would happen in the Tent Vision, in the small wooden room, it would no longer have the effect it should have in the end time.
God has everything programmed, and when the Seventh Seal is opened to the public, then we will see what the Seventh Seal was, the mystery of the second coming of Christ for the Last Day, for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.
And the entire mystery of the Seventh Seal will be revealed to the believers in Christ, to give them faith to be changed and raptured.
The revelation of the Seventh Seal is given by the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their voices. What was spoken, that revelation is what will give the believers in Christ of the Last Day the faith to be changed and raptured; but everything is still sealed.
Reverend William Branham says around page 16 of the message “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed”, on page 16 it says that the Seventh Seal (in other words, the coming of the Lord)… how He will come, and when He will come, we don’t know. And it’s a good thing that it isn’t known. Why? So that there are no imitations, because the enemy always tries to imitate what God will do, to try to destroy the Divine program.
Before the Messiah, before Jesus came, there were two false Messiahs: Theudas and Judas, and people thought: “This is the same thing as Theudas and Judas.” Gamaliel spoke about this in the Book of Acts, and he says: “But if this is the same thing that happened to Theudas and Judas, it will disappear as it happened with the movement of Theudas and Judas. But if it is from God, don’t find yourself fighting against God.”
In other words, there are always imitators anointed by the enemy of God trying to interrupt the Divine Program. But the Angel told Reverend William Branham that there will be no imitations of this, because they will not know what the Third Pull is, they will not know what that entire program of the Third Pull is, which is tied to the coming of the Lord, to the Seventh Seal.
But it will be a blessing to all the believers in Christ. And the Third Pull will be for the Bride-Church, it will be for the wise virgins (the Church-Bride), it will be for the foolish virgins, and it will also be for the world. In other words, it will impact all of humanity, it will impact the religious world of the foolish virgins and also the wise virgins; and it will give the wise virgins the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, after the rapture and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, after the Great Tribulation, we will return to Earth with Christ for the establishment of the Kingdom of the Messiah, where we will enjoy the honeymoon of one thousand years with Christ on Earth.
“THE KINGDOM AND THRONE OF DAVID.”
The Throne of David, is the Throne of God on Earth or the earthly Throne of God; that is the Throne of Christ, the Throne of the Messiah. Where He is currently sitting is in the Throne of the Father in Heaven. The Throne of Christ is the Throne of David, to which He is Heir, and we are joint-heirs with Christ to that Kingdom and that Throne.
Therefore, being aware that as believers in Christ we are heirs and joint-heirs with Christ to the Kingdom of David: let us hold on tight to Christ like Jacob held on tight to the Angel, asking for the blessing of God.
Hold on tight to Christ all the days of your life and never leave Christ. In difficult times, hold on tighter to Christ. Always keep on working in the Work of the Lord, because our work in the Lord is not in vain, it will be rewarded by Christ, just as the work of the apostles is rewarded by Christ in the Kingdom of the Lord.
We belong to a Kingdom: the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Christ (which is in a spiritual realm), and which, in the Millennial Kingdom, will be in a physical realm, where we will physically be kings, priests, and judges, members of the Cabinet of the Kingdom of the Messiah, of the Judicial Power, of the Priesthood or Religious Power, and of the Political or Executive Power as well, in which the three powers will be operating; and we will be members of the Cabinet, of those powers of the Kingdom of the Messiah; and the One leading us is the Messiah.
“THE KINGDOM AND THRONE OF DAVID.”
In today’s Bible school study, we have seen this small part of the Kingdom and Throne of David; a Kingdom and Throne to which Christ is the heir, and we are joint-heirs with Christ, our Savior.
On another occasion we will explain more about the different “Son” titles that Christ has, such as the title of Son of God, Son of Abraham, Son of David, and Son of Man. We will study these titles carefully, because according to the Program He will carry out in a stage, it is the title He will need to use. Therefore, soon we will have a Bible study and we will specify the “Son” titles that the Messiah has, and how He uses them or will use for each stage of the Divine Program.
In today’s subject: “THE KINGDOM AND THRONE OF DAVID,” we already know the title of Son of David, we already explained the first title. Later we will specify more over this title and the rest of the titles: Son of Man, Son of God, Son of David, Son of Abraham, and what those titles entail, and therefore what those titles contain.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you sharing the subject of this Bible study: “THE KINGDOM AND THRONE OF DAVID,” which Archangel Gabriel spoke about to the Virgin Mary. They are faithful and true words from God, which the Archangel Gabriel speaks about Jesus to the Virgin Mary.
May God bless us all in this start of the year 2015, and during this year May He open the Scriptures to us more than what He already has; and may He allow us see what we still need to see and what we need to receive from God. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father, I ask for Your blessings upon all the people who are listening at this time, and those who will listen later on. May Your faith be born in the soul of each of the believers in Christ regarding all these subjects, and may You fill them with the knowledge and faith for the rapture and the transformation so that we may soon be ready to be changed and taken with You to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Bless all the ministers and their congregations, all brethren; and Lord bring to Your Fold those who have not come yet so that Your Church is completed, and prepare us to be ready for Your coming and the transformation of our bodies, to go with You to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I beg You to spiritually and materially prosper all the ministers, all the congregations, and all Your believers, and to use them greatly in Your Kingdom at this Last Day. And Lord, I beg You for Your blessings upon the construction project of the Great Tent-Cathedral in Puerto Rico, I beg You to greatly prosper this project, and may the construction of the Great Tent-Cathedral soon be finished.
Lord, may You work in everything, so that it becomes a reality as soon as possible. I beg You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and honor forever and ever. Amen.
We will meet again next Sunday, God-willing, to continue. I think we can continue with this line of thought of the Kingdom and Throne of David, and the “Son” titles that Christ has for Him to be manifested within those titles or names: the Son of Man, the Son of David, Son of Abraham, Son of God, and for us to see what is behind those names.
It is like the title of the president of a nation; whoever has the title of president of a nation has the highest position in the nation. The one who has the title of mayor, well, he is the one who rules over the city. The one who has the title of governor, governs a state. The one who has the title of president, governs the entire nation.
We will be examining these “Son” titles that the Messiah has in order to see everything contained in those titles, and to see how in these titles and their manifestations—Christ’s manifestations under those titles, those names—Christ has great blessings for all the believers in Him and also for the Jews. In the Name of Son of David, there are great blessings for the Jews; that is why they are awaiting the Son of David, and the Son of Abraham.
May God bless you and keep you. Let us wait a few minutes so that if there is anyone who has not yet received Christ, they may do so, and we will be praying for you. If you are here present you can come to the front, and if you are in another country you may also come to the front to be included in the prayer we will make for everyone who is receiving Christ as Savior in this end time.
God has many people in all of Latin America and the Caribbean, and also in North America and other nations, and He is calling them in this end time because it is the time to prepare ourselves for the coming of the Lord.
The wise virgins prepared themselves, the foolish virgins did not prepare themselves. We must be prepared for the coming of the Lord, for our encounter with our Lord, to meet our God.
Let us stand up (those in all the other nations too). You may continue coming to the front (in every nation as well). Children ten years of age and older can also receive Christ as Savior.
With our hands raised to Heaven and our eyes closed:
Heavenly Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I come to You with all these people here, and in other nations, who are receiving Christ as Savior. I beg you to receive them in Your Kingdom. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I beg You.
And now repeat this prayer after me, those who have come to the Feet of Christ at this time in different places:
Lord Jesus Christ I heard the preaching of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my soul, in my heart.
I believe in You with all my soul. I believe in Your First coming and I believe in Your Name as the only Name under Heaven given to men whereby we must be saved. I believe in Your death on calvary’s Cross as the only Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins.
I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I need a Savior. I give public testimony of my faith in You, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I beg You to forgive my sins and with Your Blood may You cleanse me from all sin, and may You baptize me with the Holy Spirit and fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name; and may You produce in me the new birth.
Make a reality in me the salvation You purchased for me on Calvary’s cross. I beg You, in Your Eternal and Glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.
Those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion may ask: “When can you baptize me? For Christ said: ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.’” Saint Mark chapter 16, verses 15 to 16.
Since you have believed in Christ with all your heart, you may indeed be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire and may He produce in you the new birth.
In water baptism, we identify ourselves with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. When a person receives Christ as his Savior, he dies to the world; when he is immersed in the baptismal waters, typologically he is being buried; and when he is lifted from the baptismal waters, he is resurrecting unto a new life: eternal Life with Christ in His Eternal Kingdom.
Water baptism is typological. Water does not take sins away, but it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin.
Therefore, you may indeed be baptized and may Christ baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire and produce the new birth in you. And we will continue seeing each other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ and enjoying all the blessings He has in His Kingdom for all His believers.
I leave Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez with you to let you know what you must do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; and in each country I leave each minister to do the same with those who are receiving Christ as their only and sufficient Savior in different nations.
Continue having a happy afternoon filled with the blessings of Jesus Christ our Savior. And we will see each other here next Sunday, God willing.
May God bless you and keep you all.
“THE KINGDOM AND THRONE OF DAVID.”
