A conception of the Holy Spirit

Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, to share a few moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.

In Luke, chapter 1, verses 26 to 38, it tells us as follows:

“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.

And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

Our subject for this occasion is: “A CONCEPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

According to the Divine Program, for that time when the Angel or Archangel Gabriel appeared, sent by God first to the priest Zechariah to announce to him that he would have a son through his wife Elizabeth, and that the son would be a prophet of God, and would come preparing the way for the Lord… Which was in accordance with the promise of Malachi, chapter 3, where it says that God would send His messenger before Him, who would prepare the way; and then the Lord would come to His Temple, the Angel of the Covenant, whom the Hebrew people sought and desired.

And now, then who would come? The Lord, the Angel of the Covenant. And how would He come? He would come in human flesh, He would come in visible form, in tangible form. And that would be the Messiah promised to the Hebrew people, it would be the Word made flesh. The Word that was with God and was God, the Angel of the Covenant, becoming man in the midst of the Hebrew people as the promised Messiah, as the son of the virgin, who would be born in the midst of the Hebrew people; the son of the virgin, a virgin woman descendant of King David.

Because the promise was for the house of Jesse,¹ through the eighth son of Jesse, who was David; and through that seed would come the virgin woman through whom the Messiah would be born. And through that woman the promise made in the Garden of Eden² would be fulfilled: that the seed of the woman would strike the serpent on the head; for through a woman would come a child, who would strike the devil on the head; but the devil, the seed of the serpent, would strike him on the heel, which was the crucifixion, wherein He was struck on His feet, that is, on His heels, and also on His hands.

And now, see how this promise of the seed of the woman (and the seed of the woman is Christ, who was born through a woman), see how that promise, as time went by, was spoken with more light through the different prophets, and thus that prophecy was increased, that is, the light of that prophecy was increased.

On the first occasion when God spoke of the seed of the woman, it was not known through which woman it would be, for there was only one woman on Earth; but through a virgin woman would come the fulfillment of that promise. It was not known in which territory that woman would live, it was not known to which nation that woman would belong, it was not known to which tribe that woman would belong; but see how, as time went by, God was giving more and more light, and through the prophet Isaiah it was already known that it would be through a virgin woman descendant of King David.

Before, it was not known whether it would be a virgin woman or not, but through the prophet Isaiah it was already known.³ But it had to be through a virgin woman; from the time this promise was already given, this promise was already established.

And now, see how through one woman the whole problem of sin came into the human race, when that woman sinned, and her husband received her and also sinned.

And now, we find that the problem of mankind would be solved through the son of one woman.

Now, this whole Program of Redemption for the restoration of the human being to eternal life and fellowship with God, to be restored to God and to be reconciled with God, you see, had to be through a man; and that whole Program was reflected since the Old Testament; for example, in the little animal that died on behalf of Adam and Eve, for God to give Adam and Eve tunics of skins to cover their nakedness.⁴

And now, from the fall onwards the human being was naked before God. And now, when the human being is born on this Earth, he is born destitute of the glory of God⁵; and he is born naked before God physically, and he is born naked spiritually before God, because when he is born he receives a spirit of the world and not the Spirit of God; he doesn’t receive the theophanic spirit of God of the sixth dimension, which is the garment of the sixth dimension, therefore, he is born without that garment of the sixth dimension: he is born naked. And only through a sacrifice, the human being obtains that garment of the sixth dimension; and it is through the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Now, see how for all the sons and daughters of God who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, which is the heavenly Israel and also the heavenly Jerusalem: the children of Heaven, descendants of God… You see, those are the firstborn of God, written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world; they are called “firstborn,” as Saint Paul tells us in his letter to the Hebrews, chapter 12, verses 22 to 23, where it says:

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

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

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

Now, notice how these people, who have their names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, being the heavenly Israel, being the people of Heaven, the heavenly people: So that these firstborn may not die (because they are the firstborn of God), God has a means of salvation, which He has reflected in the earthly Israel. The earthly Israel represents the heavenly Israel.

And now, see how God prevented the firstborn that were there in the midst of the earthly Israel, in the midst of Egypt, see how God prevented them from dying:

In the night when death was to come upon the firstborn in Egypt… Egypt represents the world; and since Egypt represents the world, and there were God’s firstborn, God’s firstborn would be in this world.

And in order to avoid death, death forever (in other words, the death that is the second death, the lake of fire, where those who are cast there disappear: they die in body, spirit and soul); to prevent the sons and daughters of God, the firstborn of God, from having to die, a perfect Lamb is required to be sacrificed.

And this was reflected back in Egypt when death was going to kill all the firstborn in Egypt, both the firstborn of Egypt (that is, of the Egyptians) and would also kill the firstborn of the Hebrews, if they didn’t have a solution to that problem that would come upon the Earth.

But God had the solution to that problem, and He made it known to the prophet Moses: He told the prophet Moses that death was coming upon all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of the pharaoh to the firstborn of the animals as well; and He told the prophet Moses that on the eve of the Passover he should sacrifice a one year old lamb, without blemish, a perfect lamb: that the lamb should be taken on the tenth day of the first month, in the month Abib, and on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, that lamb should be slain. And that lamb was to be roasted and eaten in the houses of the Hebrews so that death wouldn’t enter those houses; for that lamb would be eaten there roasted, and its blood would be applied to the lintel and doorposts.⁶

Therein laid the secret to avoid the death of the Hebrew firstborn. Whoever didn’t have those preparations, death would enter and the firstborn of that family would die.

Now, notice how those firstborn of Israel represent the firstborn of the heavenly Israel, they represent the elect of God, they represent those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world; they are the firstborn, the elect of God, the chosen of God, the descendants of God: sons and daughters of God.

And see how each family sacrificed the Passover lamb, a lamb without blemish; they applied its blood on the lintel; they roasted that lamb and ate it in their homes. During the Passover, that is, during the night, while death would be passing through Egypt, the Hebrews were safe in their homes: death wouldn’t enter them, death wouldn’t kill the firstborn who were in their midst (in the midst of the earthly Israel), because they had the sacrifice of the lamb, its blood applied on the lintel and doorposts, and the lamb inside, being eaten by them; but in the homes of the Egyptians death was striking the firstborn, and the firstborn were dying, and mourning and lamentation were in the homes of the Egyptians.

And now see how all that is type and figure of what would be happening in the midst of the human race.

And now, Egypt represents the world; and the Hebrew people, Israel, represents the Church, which is the heavenly Israel.

And as time has gone by, the firstborn of God have been in the midst of Christianity, the chosen, the predestined, chosen members of the Church of Jesus Christ, written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world; which, through the First Coming of Christ and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross…; which took place on the 14th day of the month of April or Abib, the first month of the year of the religious calendar of the Hebrew people, for God told the Hebrew people (He told Moses, and Moses told the Hebrew people) that that month of Abib would be the first month of the year. That is in chapter 12, verse 2, where it tells us, of the Exodus:

“And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.”

What is the first month of the year? It is the month of Abib.

And if the month of Abib is the first of the months of the year, and it corresponds to the month of April and March in our months, March and April, we count from March and April (we count from then on) and we arrive at the sixth month; and that sixth month is the month in which the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary.

And so we can see how the time in which He appeared, according to the Word of God, being the sixth month, if we count from the sixth month to the twelfth month, they are… we find… we arrive…: Sixth month: first month (but the first month must be fulfilled: the first month of the time in which the cell of life was created in Mary’s womb), and from there we continue counting until we arrive at the time of the birth of Jesus. And counting nine months we will find that it was not in December that Jesus was born; it was in another time in which our beloved Lord Jesus Christ was born.

And now, the most important thing of all of this is the Work for which He came. And when He was 33 years old, He died on the 14th day of the month Abib, which is the eve of the Passover; as every lamb that was slain in Egypt died on the eve of the Passover, which was also the eve of the cycle where death would kill all the firstborn in Egypt.

And now, all the firstborn of God, which are the sons and daughters of God, all the firstborn of God, you see, would be in the world, manifested on this planet Earth, and they would be enslaved, as the Hebrew people were in Egypt. And in order to avoid the death of the firstborn of God here on Earth, in the midst of spiritual Egypt, where the sons and daughters of God would be enslaved, a perfect (what?) Lamb was required; as the Hebrew people in Egypt needed a perfect lamb to be sacrificed on the 14th day of the month of Abib. We find that Lamb in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Paul tells us that Christ is our Passover.⁷ If Christ is our Passover, then we have the problem solved; Christ being our Passover, we have no problem: We have Christ our Savior, to avoid the death of the firstborn of God written in Heaven. He is the one who gives us life. He is the one who prevents the spiritual death of every son and daughter of God.

Spiritual death is followed by the second death, which is hell; but the sons and daughters of God, the firstborn of God, don’t receive death, but life, through Jesus Christ our Savior; and thus we avoid dying spiritually in this world, in the spiritual Egypt.

We receive, rather, life through Christ; and we receive a theophanic body of the sixth dimension by believing in Christ as our Savior, and washing our sins in the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and thus receive His Spirit: to receive the new birth and thus receive the theophanic body. That prevents us from dying here on Earth, where spiritual death has been passing through this planet Earth.

But in the House of the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is the Passover Lamb: our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and His Blood applied on the lintel and doorposts of the Door of the House of God: Christ is the Door, and see how His Blood has been shed.

And the Blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, is also applied on the lintel and doorposts of our soul, of our heart, in us as individuals; and that avoids spiritual death, which is followed by the second death, which is the lake of fire; but avoids that second death by avoiding spiritual death.

And therefore, we go out free, we are freed by our beloved Lord Jesus Christ from the slavery of sin; and for the Last Day we will also be physically delivered when He gives us the new body.

And then, just as this mystery of the departure of the Hebrew people from Egypt representing the Church of Jesus Christ, the heavenly Israel, coming out of bondage (each person belonging to the spiritual Israel), we find that then the entrance of the Hebrew people into the promised land is the entrance of each person into the baptism of the Holy Spirit; that is spiritually. And then, for the Last Day, we will also enter the promised land of the new body and also the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom.

Notice all that the promised land into which the Hebrew people entered typifies.

And now see how from stage to stage the death of the firstborn of God has been avoided: by having in the House of God, in the Church of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, for the protection of the firstborn who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Look at everything that the First Coming of Christ entailed: it was to avoid the death of the firstborn of God; and thus to defeat the devil, striking him on the head; and thus destroying his empire, the empire of death and bondage, as God through the prophet Moses destroyed the Egyptian empire and the bondage in which he held the Hebrew people.

Now, this Lamb of God, we have noticed that He is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin descendant of King David. Many people who saw Him didn’t even know who He was, for He was a young carpenter from Nazareth; but in Him the First Coming of the Messiah was being fulfilled, what was type and figure in the Old Testament of the Messiah was being fulfilled: The Coming of the Lamb of God was being fulfilled. That is why John the Baptist, when he saw Him, said: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”⁸

The Coming of the Messiah, the First Coming of Christ, was announced by the Archangel Gabriel. And Mary, being the woman chosen by God through whom the Messiah would be born: when she received the visit of the Archangel Gabriel (who spoke to her of that prophetic promise to be fulfilled at that time, and she said: “Let it be done according to Thy Word”), she accepted the Word that was given to her by the Angel; and the Spirit of God came upon her, overshadowed her, and she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Now, look, she had to believe that Word that was spoken to her; and then that Word that was spoken to her was fulfilled in her.

And now, Bethlehem of Judea was the place where He had to be born, because it would be from Bethlehem of Judea that would come forth the one who would rule the Hebrew people.⁹ She, being from Bethlehem of Judea, had to go to Bethlehem of Judea for the time when she had to give birth; one way or another, she had to be in Bethlehem of Judea at the time when she would give birth; and she was there at the right time.

And now, Bethlehem, notice, means ‘House of the Bread of God.’ In and from the House of the Bread of God came the Messiah. And Christ is the House of the Bread of God; and He is the Bread of God also. He said: “I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven; he who eats of this Bread shall live forever (shall not see death).”¹⁰

And now, for our time, Christ being the House of the Bread of God, all those born in Christ and through Christ are born (where?) in the House of the Bread of God: They are born in Christ, they are born in our spiritual Bethlehem; therefore, they are of the seed of King David, they are the House of David.

And the House of David will be restored; and those are the kings and priests who will rule during the Millennial Kingdom. The House of David, the Tabernacle of David will be restored.

And we also have that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Church is born in and through Christ, and the Church of Jesus Christ is the House of God; and the House of God is the House where the Bread of God is being given to all the sons and daughters of God from age to age.

That is why all who are born in Christ and through Christ, when they receive Christ as their Savior and wash their sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit: They are born in the House of God, that is, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, there can’t be a person who says that he is born again and doesn’t belong to the House of God, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; he has to belong to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And that is the House of Christ, the House of God, where He has placed faithful and wise servants from age to age. There the sons and daughters of God are born, because that is where Christ is; and the Church of Jesus Christ is Christ Himself in the form of His Church.

Just as the wheat plant is the corn of wheat that was sown and was born in the form of a plant, in order to reproduce itself in many corns of wheat. And for Christ to reproduce Himself in many sons and daughters of God, notice how He had to —Christ, the Corn of Wheat— fall to the ground and die (for what?) in order to bear much fruit:¹¹ many sons and daughters of God. That is the way Christ reproduces Himself, by divine creation.

And in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is where the redeemed ones by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ are placed; because it is Christ in the form of His Church manifested.

Christ and His Church, you see, is like the plant or grape tree. Christ said: “I am the true Vine, my Father is the Husbandman, and you are the branches (that is, the vine shoot).”¹²

And where…? The tree or grape plant, where does it bear the fruit? It bears it in the branches, which are the vine shoots; that is where it bears the fruit. And it is in the Church of Jesus Christ where His children, the sons and daughters of God, are carried by Christ. So we can see that the Church of Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ are inseparable, as the plant or grape tree is inseparable from its branches; if you separate the branches from the plant, from the tree, it can’t bear fruit.

Now, we have the Hebrew branch of the time of the apostles, which bore much fruit.

We have, among the gentiles, the first branch among the gentiles, which was the first age of the gentile Church. That first branch had as its messenger the apostle Saint Paul, in whom Christ was manifested, bringing life to all who would be born through that first branch.

And then it had the second branch.

We can mention each of these branches by the name of the messenger through whom Christ was.

We have the branch from among the gentiles, from that grape plant or tree, from that true Vine… That true Vine, notice, among the Hebrews there, produced that branch with the apostles; but then among the gentiles it produced the first branch, the first age. That first branch we can call (the first branch) Saint Paul.

The second branch can be called by the name of Irenaeus. That second branch was manifested in France.

And so, notice how that true Vine has been casting His branches among the gentiles; His different branches have passed down to the gentiles from age to age.

He had five branches in Europe: second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth ages; and then He had another branch, the seventh branch, among the gentiles, in North America: the seventh age of the gentile Church.

And each of those branches can be mentioned or identified by the name of the messenger through whom Christ was, Christ, the true Vine, was manifested.

And then from those branches comes a shoot for the Last Day, a shoot that is born for the Last Day; and that is the Age of the Cornerstone; and that is the one that will have the elect of God of the Last Day, as the other branches have the firstborn of God of every age, which were saved from death through the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who was born in Bethlehem of Judea through the virgin Mary.

And for this Last Day, being in the Mystical Body of Christ, under the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, we are saved from the spiritual death that haunts the planet Earth, and, consequently, saved from the second death.

The second death has no power over the firstborn of God, because they are under the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ our Savior.

Now, we can see that the Bride-Tree, which is Christ Himself (Christ in the form of His Church), has during the seven ages of the Church among the gentiles, has seven branches, seven ages; and He had a Hebrew branch back in the time of the apostles, before the seven ages of the gentile Church began. And for the Last Day He will have a branch: The Age of the Cornerstone, where He will place the fruit of the Last Day: the elect of the Last Day, who are called to come up to obtain the knowledge of all things that must happen soon, in this end time.

Now, for this end time, in that branch is where Christ will be fulfilling the promise of His Coming.

That is why it is so important to see in which branch of the different branches of the True Vine we find ourselves in this end time. And notice how far the True Vine would extend His branches: He extended His branches to different places: to Asia Minor, Europe, North America; and now, at this time, in Latin America and the Caribbean. In that branch is where He will be fulfilling the promises of this end time.

And now, being that the Church of Jesus Christ is represented in the Hebrew people, and the Church of Jesus Christ is also represented in the virgin Mary…

You see, in the midst of the Hebrew people was that the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled; and the virgin Mary was in the midst of the Hebrew people, through whom the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled coming, being born, through her. There was the veil of flesh, in the midst of the Hebrew people, in which the Coming of the Messiah was being fulfilled, in other words, there was the veil of flesh called Jesus.

And now, being that Mary and also the Hebrew people represent the Church of Jesus Christ: Just as to the Hebrew people and the virgin Mary were also given the promise of the Coming of the Messiah, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been given the promise of the Second Coming of Christ; and for the Last Day, the promised son would be born to the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us that through the Church of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ will fulfill every promise He has made for this end time. Let’s see what he tells us, let’s see what he tells us about this great mystery; he says, on page 186 and on of the book of The Ages (of The Seven Church Ages), the Reverend William Branham says:¹³

“Whatever life was in the seed came forth into a plant and thence into fruit. The very same law applies to the church today. Whatever seed started the church will come forth and be like the original seed because it is the same seed. In these last days the true Bride Church (Christ’s seed) will come to the Headstone, and she will be the super church, a super race,…”

I told you this morning that Christ is building, creating, a new race: a new race with eternal life, giving us first the theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and for this Last Day He will give us the eternal and glorified body, equal to His body, to live for all eternity; and that is a super race, which He is creating.

“…as she nears Him.”

“…and she will be the super church, a super race. (…) They in the bride will be so much like Him that they will even be in His very image (and the image of Christ is His theophanic body; and every child of God has his theophanic body). This is in order to be united with Him. They will be one. They will be the very manifestation of the Word of the living God.”

I continue further on, where he says:

“The first son (Adam) was the spoken seed-Word of God. He was given a bride to reproduce himself. That is why the bride was given to him, to reproduce himself; to produce another son of God. But she fell. She fell by hybridization. She caused him to die.

The second Son (Jesus), also a spoken Seed-Word of God was given a bride like as was Adam. But before He could marry her, she also had fallen. She, like Adam’s wife, was put to the test whether she would believe the Word of God and live, or doubt the Word and die. She doubted. She left the Word. She died.

From a little group of the true seed of the Word, God will present Christ with a beloved bride. She is a virgin of His Word. She is a virgin because she knows no man-made creeds or dogmas. By and through the members of the bride will be fulfilled all that was promised of God to be made manifest in the virgin.

The word of promise came to the virgin Mary. But that Word of promise was He, Himself, to be made manifest. God was made manifest. He, Himself, acted at that time and fulfilled His own Word of promise in the virgin. It was an angel that had brought her the message. But the angel’s message was the Word of God. Isaiah 9:6. He fulfilled at that time all that was written of Him because she accepted His Word to her.

The members of the virgin bride will love Him, and they will have His potentials, for He is their head, and all power belongs to Him. They are subject to Him as the members of our bodies are subject to our heads.

Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has “thus saith the Lord.” Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its purpose.”

He goes on to say:

“Those in the bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise. They have “thus saith the Lord” or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time.”

He will fulfill everything pertaining to this end time through His Bride.

And what does this mean? That through His Bride and in His Bride will be the instruments of God for each time. As for each time, for each age, they were in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ; and for this end time the instruments of God will be, for everything that has to be done in this end time, in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ and in the midst of this planet Earth.

And that means that in order for Christ to fulfill the promise of His Coming with His Angels, He has to have His Angel Messenger in the midst of His Church, to use him; and through His Angel Messenger fulfill a number of promises that Christ has made, to fulfill them in His Church and to also fulfill through His Church in this end time.

And for Him to carry out the promised Work of Christ for this end time, He has to do it through His Church; therefore, He has to have His Angel in the midst of His Church, to make known to us through His Angel all these things that must happen soon.

He said: “Come up hither, and I will show you the things which must come to pass after these things.”¹⁴ And since He has to do everything through His Church and in the midst of His Church, He has to have in His Church the instrument that He will use to make all these things known to us; in other words, He has to be a redeemed one by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

And now, everything that God will do in this end time in favor of His Church and in favor of the Hebrew people, see where it has to be being manifested: in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and from there it goes to the Hebrew people.

That is why the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says that when Israel, the Hebrew people, the earthly Israel, sees Christ (in other words, the Angel, the Messenger of Israel, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord), sees Him in the midst of His Church, coming to His Church, they will say: “This is the one we are expecting!”¹⁵ But He will come first for His Church, although there is also the promise that He will come for the Hebrew people.

Now, we can see how it is that all these promises have to be fulfilled; and there must be a Virgin, a Virgin-Bride, represented in the virgin Mary; and that Bride or Virgin-Bride or Bride-Virgin is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the end time.

And now look how the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us on page 368 of the book of The Seals in Spanish; he says (that’s around there, the fourth paragraph to fifth paragraph; it says):¹⁶

“³⁵² And the world, the nature, (God have mercy!) the whole world’s in—in birth pains. The world is trying, she is “travailing,” Isaiah said. What’s the matter? She is in…trying to bring forth a new world, for the Millennium, where all the…?…Trying to birth a new world, for a new people that won’t sin and pollute her. That’s right. She is in travail. That’s the reason the—the…We’re in travail, Christ, to bring forth the Bride. Everything is travailing and groaning. See, there is something fixing to happen.

³⁵³ And this Sixth Plague lets her go.”

The Sixth Seal gives way to what? The birthing of a new world for the Millennium, and also to the birthing of Christ being born of the Bride, that is, the Second Coming of Christ being born of that Bride.

For just as Mary received the visit of an Angel, the Archangel Gabriel, who spoke to her of the First Coming of Christ and told her that it would be fulfilled through her, the Messiah being born through her; and now the Second Coming of Christ is through that Bride-Virgin, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ will be born in the midst of the Church in this end time, and will carry out the relevant ministry for the blessing of the Church of Jesus Christ and for the blessing of the Hebrew people (that is, for the blessing of the heavenly Israel and the earthly Israel), in the Reclaiming Work that He will do in this end time. His First Coming was as the Lamb of God, coming through a virgin, and His Second Coming is as the Lion of the tribe of Judah in His Reclaiming Work.

Now we can see that just as it was a conception of the Holy Spirit in Mary’s womb, it is a conception of the Holy Spirit in the womb of His Church-Bride to bring forth the fulfillment 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 through that divine conception (which is through divine creation), through that creative Word, it is through the Church-Bride of Jesus Christ in the Last Day that the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord will come. In the midst of His Church will be the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord in the Last Day, for it is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ which is awaiting His Coming, His Second Coming, in the Last Day.

We have seen that all this is by means of A CONCEPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, so that all that He has promised for this end time may be fulfilled; and thus everything that happened for the First Coming of Christ will be parallel to that of the Second Coming of Christ.

We have seen that everything is simple, but everything is in conformity with that conception of the Holy Spirit. Which, through divine creation, through the creative Word, was placed in the belly, in the womb, in the mind of the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ; which was placed by Christ through the seventh angel messenger: When he spoke to His Church the things of the Second Coming of Christ, foreran the Second Coming of Christ, placed there, in the belly, in the womb, that is, in the mind of the Bride (the Church-Bride of Jesus Christ), placed there that creative Word, placed there the foundation: That Seed-Word, so that the Second Coming of Christ may be fulfilled in the Church-Bride of Jesus Christ; in other words, the fulfillment 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, may be born.

Now, that is the greatest mystery of all the mysteries of the Bible. It is the mystery under the Seventh Seal, which caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour when the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven.¹⁷ The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ.

But the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said that everything would be so simple that, if people didn’t watch, it would pass over them, and they wouldn’t even realize that this promise was fulfilled.¹⁸ He said that the Seventh Seal at its beginning would be completely secret.¹⁹ And the Seventh Seal, being the Second Coming of Christ, is parallel to the First Coming of Christ.

How long was the First Coming of Christ in secret, being already fulfilled on Earth? It was secret for the Hebrew religion and for the Roman empire and for the whole world; for the Hebrew people it was secret for almost 30 years: from the time Christ was born until He began His ministry.

Although His First Coming was already fulfilled on Earth, it was in secret; and it hadn’t been announced as a total secret, and yet they didn’t know that His Coming was already fulfilled, except two or three people only: Mary, Joseph, the priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth; Simeon and Anna, who were already old; and the shepherds who went to the birth of Jesus; and the wise men who came to the house where Jesus, Mary and Joseph lived, there in Bethlehem of Judea, when He was about 2 years old.

Now, notice that very few people knew that the Coming of the Messiah was already fulfilled; but everything had to take place as something common and ordinary, as something of the common people: a child being born, growing up, eating, sleeping, playing with the other children; and thus fulfilling the promise of the Coming of the Messiah, who would be a prophet.

And the promise is that God raises a prophet from among the people²⁰; therefore, it has to be one born among the people, who eats and drinks, sleeps, and knows the customs of the people; one born on this Earth, physically speaking.

And now, notice how simple everything was about the First Coming of Christ. And that promise of the Coming of the Messiah as the Lamb of God was being fulfilled in a young construction worker named Jesus; but His Work as Lamb couldn’t be carried out until He finished His Work that He began; and at the end of that Work, then His Work would be crowned with the Sacrifice as the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world, and then resurrecting and ascending to Heaven. Look how the First Coming of Christ was crowned; and that was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant made flesh in a man from among the Hebrew people.

And the Second Coming of Christ, which is the Seventh Seal, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says: “When the Seventh Seal begins, it will be a complete mystery.” There are two or three moments where the Seventh Seal may begin.

The First Coming of Christ began when the Archangel gave the Word to the virgin Mary; but there it was in the form of a seed, an offspring. Then, when He was born in Bethlehem of Judea; there that promise was already fulfilled in human flesh, because the instrument in which the Coming of the Messiah was being fulfilled was born on Earth.

And for the Last Day, the Seventh Seal: when the veil of flesh is here on Earth, where Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, will be manifested in the Last Day, the Seventh Seal will already be in a certain way moving on this Earth; and that will be a secret.

Then, when he receives Christ as his Savior, and washes his sins in the Blood of Christ, and obtains the new birth and is born again (born in the Kingdom of God), there he is being born as Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea: there he is being born in Christ and is being born in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; he is being born in our spiritual Bethlehem, which is Christ; and the Church is also the spiritual Bethlehem. And there that is a mystery, because no one will know that what happened in Bethlehem of Judea is moving in a parallel way.

It doesn’t have to be literally a virgin who gives birth to him (a virgin like Mary, to whom an Angel comes and tells her that she is going to have a son, and without knowing a man she has that son), when the veil of flesh appears for the first time; neither when he is born in the Kingdom of God, for one is born in the Kingdom of God by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving the Spirit of Christ.

Therefore, that Virgin will be the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to give birth to one of her children: the son in whom the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant will be fulfilled, the Angel who was different from the others, coming in human flesh in the Last Day manifested to speak to His Church: to the heavenly Israel.

And notice, after Christ was born, almost 30 years passed for His ministry to begin. And after He began His ministry, three and a half years passed, where He was carrying out all the things pertaining to His First Coming; and then He went up to Mount Transfiguration to be adopted; and then, a short time later, He carried out the Work of Redemption.

And all that is parallel to the Coming of the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the others, coming in the Last Day. In other words, there will be a lapse of time, of years, from the beginning of that manifestation until He comes to crown His Coming; and He comes to crown His Work when Christ finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven and reclaims all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood.

The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the others, through His manifestation in human flesh will be calling and gathering all the elect of God in the Last Day: He will be preaching the Message for the Last Day, that Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and all the elect of God of the Last Day will be called and gathered.

And when that work is completed, then the time of and for the adoption of that son of God is reached, through whom Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, will be manifested in the Last Day. And Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession in Heaven and will manifest Himself in all His fullness in His Angel Messenger in the Last Day: He will adopt him. And from then on we will find Christ telling him, showing him, all that he must do and speak; and he will speak, and things will be fulfilled.

It will be at that stage that the greatest miracles and wonders ever seen in the history of the human race will be seen. Although great miracles and wonders have been seen, but Christ will crown all His Work with His manifestation of this end time.

And in that manifestation, which is the manifestation of adoption, all the sons and daughters of God will be adopted, all the members of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ: those who departed will be resurrected in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be transformed; and we will all be equal to our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And so shall the heavenly Israel be standing on this Earth.

The heavenly Israel will be on this Earth, and they will be millions of sons and daughters of God of the ages (of the seven ages of the gentile Church) and of the time of the apostles, plus the elect of our time. And that will be the Priestly Body of Melchizedek, those will be the priests that will minister with Christ, the High Priest of the Temple that is in Heaven. And we will all be ministering on this Earth during the Millennial Kingdom.

And we will all be working, before we leave, in the Church of Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, under the ministry of Christ through His Angel Messenger. And we will also rule with Christ for the Millennium and for all eternity; because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, headed in the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Seed of David, is the House of David being restored, is the Kingdom of David being restored.

And through Christ, the Son of David, with His Church, who are made kings and priests with Christ,²¹ we will rule for the Millennium and for all eternity.

Now look at all the blessings that there are for those who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ: they belong to the heavenly Israel, they belong to the House of David and belong to the Priestly Order of the Millennium and of all eternity; they belong to that new order: to the heavenly Order, to the Order of Melchizedek, of which Christ is the High Priest, the Melchizedek of the Temple which is in Heaven; and we are priests with Him.

Now notice all the things there are for all the sons and daughters of God. And look how it all began there with the conception, in Mary’s womb, of a cell of life; it was a conception of the Holy Spirit by divine creation. And what they thought, that it wouldn’t get anywhere, look how it has been filling the whole Earth and how for this end time it will have sons and daughters of God with eternal bodies, as God has promised; and it will have a new race with eternal life. No child of God will ever die when he is in the eternal body: it is a body for all eternity.

And notice how, by this conception of the Holy Spirit in Mary’s womb, so much blessing has come to each one of you and to me also.

And now by the conception of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Church-Bride of Jesus Christ, so much blessing comes from Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.

We are living in the greatest and most glorious time of all times, this is the time that everyone wished to live in; but it has been allotted to us to live this time, and we are going to enjoy it right in the business of our heavenly Father. We are already enjoying it well, and we will continue to enjoy it, and we will receive the eternal body. It is for each one of you, and who else? For me as well.

I do my part, and you do your part. Believe with all your soul that that blessing is for you. I believe it too, that it is for me, and I believe it with all my soul. And it will be fulfilled as God has promised.

“A CONCEPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

That was what later materialized by being born in Bethlehem of Judea, growing and carrying out the Work of Redemption. The same for the Reclaiming Work for the Last Day.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ our Savior be upon all of you and upon me as well.

Thank you very much for your kind attention; and we will see each other, God willing, on Thursday, God willing, Christmas Eve.

On Wednesday there is worship, for those who wish to be here (Miguel will also be here); and on Thursday, we will be here at the time I indicated in the evening; and also on Friday at the time I indicated (at 2:00 in the afternoon on Friday); and then we will also be on Sunday morning and in the afternoon; and then we will repeat it on Thursday of the Old Year, and on Thursday we will be here until the end of the year, Thursday 31st; but on Friday, January 1st we will no longer be gathered. January 1st we will no longer be together during the day, because we will be the first minutes of the New Year, which is from 12:00 at night onwards, according to the gentile calendar.

Well, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 1999, according to the calendar used among the gentiles; and may God soon complete the number of God’s elect.

And after He completes it, we already know what comes next: Christ finishes His Work in Heaven as Intercessor, and there He becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah; that is where He passes —that part— to Lion of the tribe of Judah doing His Reclaiming Work, and bringing the dead in Christ in eternal bodies and transforming us who are alive.

Well, that is the redemption of the body. For the redemption of the body, notice, all that has to happen in this end time.

He already paid the price, but He hasn’t made the Claim; He does it in this end time. That is what He will be doing in this end time after He completes the number of His elect. He can’t leave the Throne of Intercession until that number is completed. He said it Himself when He said: “None shall be lost.”²² And for none to be lost, they have to receive the Word and be placed in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well, may God continue to bless you all, may God keep you; and onward serving our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

I leave with us again Felix Caro to continue and finish our part in this afternoon, giving thanks to Christ and also having some song or some songs; and thus preparing ourselves then to continue our daily life, but with our mind always set on the things of God, waiting for our transformation; because when the last one comes in, from then on Christ makes His Claim, and the resurrection has to take place, and our transformation also.

We are waiting for our transformation. I don’t want to stay here, and I don’t believe that any of you, for the great tribulation; and Christ doesn’t want to leave us here either. We are all going to go with Him, the entire number of God’s elect, not one of us will stay here on Earth: we will all go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

So never be discouraged; whether you have problems or not, know that you are sons and daughters of God. Whether I have problems or not, I am a child of God; and when the transformation comes, I will be transformed. And who else? You too.

So I don’t look at your problems, but I look at who you are according to the Word of God; and as for your problems I tell you: “Solve your problems.” Each person’s problem is each person’s problem. Pray to God to help you solve whatever problems you have. Get your lives in order with God, ready for our transformation.

And know that I love you with all my soul, with divine love; and Christ also loves you; and I know that you also love me, and that we all love one another with divine love. This is the Age of Divine Love.

So let us pray for each other; and let us thank Christ, and ask Christ to help us to live in these final days, or in this end time; and may we all be soon transformed.

Well, God bless you and keep you all. May you have a good afternoon everyone; and until the next activity, God willing.

May God bless you and keep you all.
