Good afternoon fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior, also the rest of the persons present, brothers and sisters, and the ones through the Satellite Amazonas and through internet in the different nations. May the blessings of Crist the Angel of the Covenant be upon all of you and upon me. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
It is a great blessing to be with you all in this occasion, Good Friday, in which we remember, we commemorate the death of Christ on Cavalry’s Cross. Which event is already history, but we commemorate It because this event was carried out in the Divine Program in the land of Israel, in Jerusalem, so that the Work of Redemption for the human being may be carried out.
Years ago, in 1978, on Good Friday, I was in Tucson, Arizona, preaching in a ministers meeting with the Rev. Perry Green and I preached this same topic, our brother Adalberto Pérez was present there, and other persons also, the topic was: “Waking up to reality.”
And one must be awake to the reality of the Divine Program corresponding to the time in which one lives, as also one must be awake to the things that happened in the Divine Program in past times, in order to see for what purpose those historic events took place in the past, and to teach our sons and grandsons about those events; for that reason there are biblical schools in all the Churches, because the things that took place in past times is repeated in new persons and in new places.
This is found there in Ecclesiastes, that the thing that has been, it is that which shall be, and God restores that which happened, in other words, the prophecies are repeated, are fulfilled, and then are repeated again in things or prophetic events parallel to the events that took place in the past.
For instance, the Scripture tells us that as it was in the time of Noah and as it was in the time of Lot, thus will be the day, in other words, the time in which the Son of Man shall be manifested, shall be revealed, shall come; they are parallel times, and consequently they have the same conditions, and from behalf of God, just as there was a manifestation in those times, in Noah’s time with Noah, for him to make it known to the people, also as it was in the time of Lot, which was the time of Abraham, to whom God appeared with two main Angels, Michael and Gabriel, in chapter 17, and 18, of Genesis, and spoke to him of the promised son, which he would receive the following year, the son which Abraham was waiting for (he had been waiting for twenty four years, and the following year would be twenty five years) because the promise had been given to him when he was 65 years of age, and when he would be one hundred years old he would receive the son God promised him.
There God gave him the date, almost at the end, at the end he already knew the date in which the promised son would be fulfilled.
Many times God does not give us dates, so that we may be expecting everyday that which He promised, and believing in it our faith is proved. Some people, as time passes by they say: “God will not fulfill that which He promised,” and some people leave because their faith decreases and no longer believe in that which God promised.
For instance, we have the promise of the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, and we have the promise of the transformation of the living and the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the rapture or catching away of the Church, and the faith of some people decreases and say: “There will not be any transformation, there will not be a rapture,” and they leave the Lord, the One who saved them.
To leave the Lord means that the person has lost the only opportunity of eternal Life, he has lost the opportunity of being cleansed of every sin with the Blood of Christ and consequently has lost the right unto eternal Life, and there is no other sacrifice for sin except the Sacrifice of Christ on Cavalry’s Cross.
And whoever despises that Sacrifice and leaves Christ, has lost the opportunity of eternal Life, and if he blasphemed against Christ and His Blood, and has the Blood of Christ as unclean, that person has crossed the line between mercy and judgement, and there is no other sacrifice for the person; that’s found in chapter 10, of Hebrews, and also around chapter 6, speaks to us of things of the ground that produces thorns, and of the ground that produces good fruit.
Now, today, good Friday, all of Christianity in the whole world commemorate the death of Christ on Cavalry’s Cross, and that is good, because that reminds all the human beings the Work of Redemption for the human beings, it reminds the human beings that there is a Savior, it reminds them that there is eternal Life and that already Christ paid the prize of our salvation, and that He took our sins, and became sin in order to die for us.
So therefore, He lost His physical mortal body, but resurrected glorified, for that reason Paul would say: “Yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more,”
we no longer know Him with the body in which He became mortal, but rather when we see Him it will be in His glorified body, in His eternal body.
Now, let us read a little bit here in Matthew, chapter, 27, verses 32, and on (32, to 56):
”
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments
among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. And sitting down they watched him there; And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and permit us to understand It.
The topic is: “THE CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH OF CHRIST.”
The death of Christ, the death of the Messiah was promised in Psalm 22, and it was also typified when Moses smote the rock in Mount Horeb or Mount Sinai, he smote the rock and waters came out from it, but the people… St. Paul says in his Letter to the Corinthians, that the rock that followed them was Christ.
That rock represented Christ, and Christ was the Pillar of Fire that followed them, that Pillar of Fire was Christ in the form of a flame of fire, which appeared to Moses and by means of Moses delivered the Hebrew people, and led them in the way, in the form of a cloud, the very Lord, a shade for all the people, a cloud that protected them from the sun, and during the night led them as a Light that illuminated their way when they were traveling at night time in some occasions, and when they were not traveling, that Cloud of Light that appeared at night, the same Cloud that protected them during the day, which was not seeing as a fire during the day, then It rested upon the tabernacle, and when It rested upon the tabernacle the people would stop and would remain in that place, in that territory, until they would see the Pillar of Fire, the Cloud, and when the Cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, then they prepared everything and went towards the direction where the Cloud led them during the day and the Pillar of Light during the night. That Light was the Angel of the Covenant, which is Christ, which appeared in that form, and in some occasions appeared to Moses in the form of an Angel, of a man.
And now, Moses smiting the rock represented the crucifixion of Christ, the crucifixion of Christ im His first Coming; then at Kadesh-barnea the people got thirsty, and the people rose up or some of the people rose up against Moses and consequently against God, and Moses and Aaron cried out to God, and God spoke to Moses and said: “Take your brother Aaron and also the rod which is within the tabernacle (because Moses placed it there) and go the rock, stand in front of it, and speak to the rock and it will give water, water for the people.”
But Moses was very angry with the people, so he went to the rock with the rod and with Aaron, and instead of speaking… he spoke to the people also, he spoke to the people very angered, and he smites the rock with his rod, and God had said to him: “Speak to the rock,” and by smiting the rock, God was angered with Moses and told him that since he had not glorified Him before the people of Israel, by smiting the rock and not speaking to it, he broke the type and figure of the second Coming of Christ, which Coming is not for Christ to be bruised, it is not for Him to be crucified again, but rather he had to speak to the rock in order to receive water, and thus the people would live.
Because the first Coming of Christ was for Him to die, for that reason God told him to smite the rock and thus he did, and God was not angered, because God had told him to do it that way; the prophet messenger of God, Moses, could not do according to his will, but rather according to the will of God, because a prophet is sent by God to speak and to do according to the way God tells him to speak or to do; for that purpose he has the two consciences together: so that he may hear God and see God in order to know what to do, how he must speak and how he must do the Work of God.
And by Moses smiting the rock he broke the type and figure that was placed there, and the type and figure that he set there was that Christ, which is the Rock in His second Coming to His people will be bruised again; but since God deals with His Church in the spiritual realm, then it will not be a physical crucifixion but spiritual, for which Christ the Word, in the Last Day will be slandered.
Just as those that slandered the prophets and the message they brought, they were slandering the One who was within them, just as when the people were rising against Moses, in God’s sight they were rising against God; because God was dwelling in Moses and also in the different messengers, in the different prophets, that He had sent according to how He had determined to send since before the foundation of the world.
In other words, a prophet does not become a prophet on the earth because he prays much or because he asks God to be a prophet, not so, he is predestine by God for that purpose since before the foundation of the world, and he comes to a certain place, to a certain territory, to the territory with which God is dealing, and with the people God is dealing with, under the covenant which is at force in that time; and he comes to bring the Word, because the Word comes to the prophets.
If God is to bring Word for a certain time, He will send the people an instrument who is to bring that Word being spoken to the people and what he speaks has to be according to that which God has in His Program, that which God has promised for that time, therefore, that promised Word for that time will come to life, to fulfillment, It will be quickened by God Himself through His Holy Spirit by means of the instrument that He has for that time along with the group of that time, that’s how it has been in each occasion.
And what He has promised will be fulfilled in the time assigned by God, not for another time, but that which happened in other times then becomes type and figure of that which God is to do in that time, where He will fulfill His promise in all it’s fullness to His people, whether it be to the Hebrew people or to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the One which is within the new Covenant, therefore, all the things God has promised for His Church for the Last Day, He will fulfill it to His Church. And the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, notice, it has the part which corresponds to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to which Church He will come as a thief in the night, for mankind is found in a stage of night, of darkness. But by Christ the Sun of Righteousness coming to His Church, He will shine, He will enlighten the understanding in order to know His Coming to the Church and to receive Him, and for Christ to give the faith to be transformed and to be taken to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
The ones that will see Christ in the midst of His Church will be those that will be transformed; the biggest mystery in the Bible is the mystery of the second Coming of Christ. The Rev. William Branham says that everything will be in simplicity, therefore, when God promises something, He will fulfill it in simplicity, and if He promises something great He will fulfill it in a simpler manner, more simple.
When the Rev. William Branham spoke of the Seventh Seal, he said that it is the Coming of the Lord and he said that It will be in simplicity, and that no one knows that mystery; no one on Earth, nor in Heaven, nor angels, Christ Himself did not know it until He resurrected from the dead, then He knew it.
Now we find that that is the greatest mystery and the greatest promise that has been made to the Church, in that promise of the Coming of the Lord lays the Third Pull, in It lays the rapturing faith, lays the transformation of the believers in Christ which are alive, and the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the rapture or catching away of the Church; all of that rotates around the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, which Coming will be for the Church of the Lord. Those who will be transformed and taken by Christ to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, will see Him, will recognize Him, but for now we will not open that mystery, we will leave it alone.
But remember that inasmuch as Moses, by breaking the type and figure of the second Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, since he smote the rock, that will cause a crucifixion as it happened there at Jerusalem, but that crucifixion was carried out in the literal, now in the Last Day for the Coming of the Lord to His Church, it will be done in spiritual terms, by which a person is killed, the image of the person is killed, and the influence of the ministry that the person has over other people is killed. If the influence of a person is killed, and his image, that is like killing the person, he dies, if he is a politician he dies politically speaking, if he is an important lecturer of self-help and of improvement, they kill him as a lecturer. If he is a manager or a great businessman or a leader in the world of economy, of the politic world, of any important position that he may have in the government, they destroy his image, he has to renounce, and if he does not renounce, they throw him out.
You have seen in the different news reports that many people have asked for their renouncements, they have presented their renouncements, and others, inasmuch as they did not present them, they were dismissed, and more so in time of politics, in the year of election is where those things are more frequently seen.
The same thing happened in the days of Jesus, what they did first, they tried… they slandered Him, they defamed His preaching so that no one would hear Him, and then they crucified Him literally.
The crucifixion of the second Coming of Christ will be by defamation, that’s what they did in the majority of the occasions in which God sent a prophet; when he was defamed they were crucifying the Word which was in them, as a type and figure of the crucifixion of the second Coming of Christ to His Church which is under the new Covenant, His people under the new Covenant.
So therefore, as believers in Christ we must be very steadfast, not letting anything nor anyone take away from us the love of Christ, from the love of God which is Christ our Lord, because whoever leaves Christ has no hope of eternal Life, has no hope of transformation, has no hope for the rapture, has no hope of going to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, more so, then they say: “That’s a fairy tale.” See? They do not believe it and they try to make others to disbelief what’s in the Word.
But the transformation, the rapture and the resurrection of the dead in Christ is written in the Word, and if it is in the Word, that is: Thus says the Lord. Therefore, do not let anyone root out Christ from your soul, and do not let anyone root out from you the divine promises that Christ has made for His believers, and if you see someone trying to root out from you the things that are promised in the Word, remember the parable of the sower, in which parable the Word that was sown, the seed that was sown along the wayside, are those that hear the Word and the wicked one comes, which is the devil, and roots out that which was sown in the heart.
When you see someone trying to take away from you your faith in those promises, remember that behind that person is another person: the enemy of God, the devil, the old serpent which is Satan, and he sends fallen angels, evil spirits to do harm to your soul.
As he appeared to Eve to root out that which God had said to her; remember: he does not root out everything, but rather he takes away or adds to it. God had said to Adam that the day that he ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that day he would die; and the devil appears to Eve, and the things that Eve knew were the things that God had spoken to Adam and Adam communicated them to Eve.
And the devil comes to Eve and tells her: “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” see? She was listening to another person, she should have listened to he husband who was a prophet and he had the Word of God which showed him the way to live and the way he had to do things, and showed him not to do the things that were not permitted.
You must know who you hear: either you hear the Word the way God sends It, or you hear those that rise up against the Word of God, against the Word of God promised for the time in which the person is living.
If you hear the person who says “No” to that which God has promised, you will be as Eve when she heard the serpent who told her, Eve answers him when he said: “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Eve tells him: “No, what God has said is that we can eat of the fruit of every tree of the garden, less of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”
Eve was trying to teach the devil, the old serpent which is the devil, Satan, remember that the serpent was a man, an animal similar to the human being, a giant, tall, but did not have a soul, because the animals do not have a soul, only the human being has soul; that’s why the human being is in the image and likeness of God.
And now, the old serpent could not convince Eve any other way, but lying to her, Eve tells him: “No” she tries to teach the serpent, perhaps she thought: “The serpent is wrong, is mistaken,” and she began to teach the serpent: “No, what God has said is that we cannot eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, because the day we eat of it we shall surely die.” And the serpent answers her: “You will not die, for God knows that in the day you eat thereof, you shall be as gods knowing good and evil.”
And the tendency of human beings is to be is to be regarded as a deity, the tendency of the human beings is to be powerful, to have power, and that is to be like God, and consequently to become what? idols. When the persons say they are not… that they do not believe in idols, and do not worship idols, and then say: “Such person is my idol,” there you have it, and so forth, we find many things that the people over look, that they do or think or speak, and yet they do not know what they mean.
Now, Eve preferred the teaching of the serpent who was in the form… he was a man but had no soul, he belonged to the animal race; he was the leader of the whole serpent race, which race came to be a reptile after God cursed him. But he was not a reptile, he was a man which had no soul, he spoke, reasoned, he had knowledge of good and evil, he knew what he was speaking to Eve, of, he knew it’s outcome.
It is that the devil wanted to mingle the animal race with the human race, as many farmers do, they cross breed the seeds to improve them, they make certain experiments, certain changes: for example, in order to obtain a bigger corn they do certain things, and also with lying hens, and also with the chickens for meat, so that they grow bigger, and quickly, in order to make more money, not caring for the negative reaction that the estrogen that they place in them to make them bigger may cause, their main concern is the economic benefit they receive.
And they also cross breed the animals to make a new race, let’s say, a new race by cross breeding, in order to obtain bigger animals, to produce more meat so to obtain more money when they sell it to the people.
That’s how it is in the business field, that’s what happened back there, the human race was mixed at that time, and when the fruit of that descendant came forth, the Scripture says that “not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother,” in other words, the Scripture identifies him as of the wicked one, who deceived Eve, and that battle that began in Heaven then continued on Earth in the midst of the human beings.
What the history of the human being shows us is that the things that take place on Earth they come from another dimension. There are two dimensions at war for thousands or millions of years and since that battle, that war of Heaven between the angels of God against the angels of Lucifer, or Satan, or devil, whatever they call him, who rebelled against God, and that battle has continued on Earth.
For that reason things are seen on the Earth, and the people say: “That is an evil thing, it is from the devil,” and they also see things and they say: “That’s comes from God, from Heaven, angels of God,” it is that on this Earth, among the human beings and with the human beings there are manifestations, so much as from the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Light, as also from the kingdom of darkness in other people.
The sons and daughters of God are children of Light, of the Kingdom of Light, and the sons of the wicked one, well, they are those that have no light, and the Scripture says, Christ Himself says in St. Luke, that the children of this world, of the darkness, are more clever than the children of Light, in other words, the children of the Kingdom of Light, the sons of the Kingdom of God.
The crucifixion of Christ and all the persecution He had, was a manifestation of the kingdom of darkness of the government that the devil had offered to Christ when He was fasting for forty days in the wilderness when He was tempted by the devil, one of the things the devil did was to show Him was to tempt Him by showing Him all the kingdoms of this world and telling Him that all those kingdoms were his, of the devil, and to whoever he wanted to, he would give them, and he offered them to Christ, the devil told Him that if He would fall down and worshiped him he would give them to Christ.
And what did that signify? That signified that Jesus Christ would then become the Cesar, because the kingdom of the Gentiles, which was in the stage of the legs of iron, which was the roman empire, you will notice, it is the kingdom of darkness which has been descending from the empire of Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar to the Medes and Persian empire of the chest and arms of silver, the golden head was the empire of Babylon of Nebuchanezzar, according to the dream or vision that Nebuchadnezzar had, which was interpreted by Daniel the prophet in chapter 2, of his book.
The belly and the thighs of brass represents the Greek empire, and then came the legs of iron which represents the Roman empire of the Ceasars, and after that came the stage of the feet of iron and of bake clay, that is the last stage, but the stage in which Jesus Christ lived, the kingdom of the Gentiles was in the stage of the legs of iron of the Roman empire; that was the empire the devil offered to Christ, He would have been Ceasar, and the devil would be in charge of crowning Him somehow.
Remember that Ceasar the Roman emperor was always worshiped, he was the political and religious leader.
Remember that he inherited the Roman empire, and also the whole religious system of Babylon, and we will speak of that in another occasion.
Now notice, Christ did not accept. The Roman empire was the one in charge of crucifying Christ, although they found no fault in Him, therefore, not everyone who is sentenced to death, and dies, not everyone who is sentenced to death is guilty, in other words, they might be guilty of something, but not to the extent of being sentenced to die.
Pilate found no fault in Jesus when he judged Him, but to please the Jewish religious leaders, because they could accuse him of being a friend of Jesus, and whoever becomes a friend of another king, he is accused of treason against the emperor of Rome, and then Pilate could have been killed. So Pilate in order to keep his political position consented to the petition of the people that cried: “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” And that’s already history, for which it could not be denied; that’s how the apostles preached, and that’s the way Christ said it would happened, thus it would happen, that’s how it was in the plan of God.
Therefore, God forgave the Hebrew for the things they did, Christ Himself said: “Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing” they do not know that the prophecies were being fulfilled and all that had to happened so that the redemption of the human being might be carried out.
The redemption of Israel, the redemption of every person is in Christ and His death on Calvary’s Cross so that every person might be cleansed from all sin. All the sins of the human beings were placed in Christ, He took our sins, that’s why He could die, because without sin He could not die, but by taking on Himself all of our sins then He could die, and He had to go to hell. We will speak of that tomorrow, because we will be speaking of the burial of Christ and how long His body was buried, where His body was and where His Spirit was, in other words, the heavenly body of Christ called the Angel of the Covenant.
The death of Christ was necessary, Christ Himself said: “Except the corn of wheat falls on the ground and dies, it abides alone,” if He did not die, every person had to die because of sin, because that was the day, the time for the divine judgement, and consequently, that was the time for the death sentence for all the human beings, excepting Jesus, because He did not have sin.
As in the time of Noah, death was decreed from the Throne of God for all the human beings, except for Noah who loved God, served God, and he had the required sacrifice to approach God, so to cover his sins and to be seen by God without sin, his sins were covered because the blood of the animals that Noah sacrificed could not take away sins, only covered them, and God would see the blood and would not see sins in Noah and his family. And when God sees the born again believers in Christ, He sees them through the Blood of and does not see sin, because the Blood of Christ cleansed us from all sin.
And now on Cavalry’s Cross Christ paid the debt we had before God. When John the Baptist presented Him, he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world,” the original sin was taken away by Christ at Cavalry’s Cross, it is for that reason that every person will give account, not for the sin of Adam and Eve, but for his own sins, and when he receives Christ as Savior, Christ with His Blood cleanses him from all sin, He already performed the program of Redemption on Cavalry’s Cross, it is available for every human being; and that program of Redemption is made known through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of our salvation.
Now, we have been seeing here the first Coming of Christ and His crucifixion, the death of Christ on Cavalry’s Cross. For this end time, for the Coming of the Lord to His Church there will be another crucifixion, but I already told you that it will be in the spiritual field, it will not be in the physical field with a physical cross and nails and things of that manner, literal things.
Therefore, we will be watching for the Coming of the Lord; and that crucifixion… He is the Word which became flesh and was crucified physically. But we have the promise that the Word will be again in the midst of His Church, and the Word is the Angel of the Covenant, It is Christ in His heavenly body, It is the Holy Spirit, because Christ is the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is Christ in His heavenly body, that’s why Paul in one of his Letters says, “The Spirit of Christ which was in them, (in the prophets, it says that) It foretold beforehand of the things that would happen to the Messiah, the sufferings, and the glories that would come after these sufferings”.
The Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit, which is the Angel of the Covenant, because Christ is the Angel of the Covenant, that’s why He would say in St. John, chapter 8, verses 56, to 58:
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it and was glad.
Then said the Jews unto him: Thou are not
yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them: Verily, verily I say unto you,
Before Abraham was I am.”
He was the I am, He was before Abraham and before all the creation, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in the Holy Spirit, Christ in His heavenly body, became flesh and dwelt in the midst of the human beings there in the land of Israel in order to fulfill the Program of Redemption.
Therefore, the Christians should never be mad with the Jews because of what happened at the crucifixion of Christ, Christ already said: “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” and we back up those words by saying: “Amen” so that God may be mercy full with Israel; they had to be blinded so that the Work of Redemption may be fulfilled in order for the Gentiles to have an opportunity of salvation; so everything work for the good.
Someday the Coming of the Lord will become a reality, the Coming of the Lord will be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that will take place in the Great Tent-Cathedral, there is where the mystery of the Seventh Seal will be opened; and there is where a great revival will take place, a great awakening, a great manifestation from behalf of Christ in the midst of His Church, which is called the Third Pull.
For that time, if the Third Pull has not ended when the Vision of the Tent appears, at it’s beginning, then at any moment Christ will end His Work of Intercession in Heaven as High Priest, He will leave the Throne of Intercession, will take the Property Deed and will open It in Heaven, that Property Deed is the Book sealed with seven Seals, at that moment Christ would have already completed His Church with all the ones written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and then will do His Reclaiming Work. He will bring with Him all the dead in Christ which are in Paradise, He will pass to Paradise and will bring them, He will resurrect them in eternal and glorified and young bodies, and the believers that are alive He will transform them, then we will be in the physical image of Christ with eternal and glorified bodies, immortal and young for all eternity.
Those persons, as also those that are in Paradise, will receive the Coming of the Lord to Paradise and will come to Earth to obtain physical eternal bodies. The believers in Christ will see Him Coming to His Church, and will see the dead in Christ resurrected in eternal bodies; and the believers in Christ which are alive will be transformed, and that will be the greatest encounter of the believers in Christ that has ever taken place; because the believers of the past ages will come to our time to meet with the believers in Christ that will be transformed, and when we see them we will be transformed.
For that time there will be a great manifestation of the presence of God by means of Christ, and when the Jews see that, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for.” But He does not come for them, He comes for His Church Bride to transform Her and to take Her to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
For the Jews He comes, later on, the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to the Jews during a certain time, after that manifestation or during that manifestation everything will be interlaced and during the time of the ministry of the two Olive Trees with the Jews, there they will receive the Gospel of the Kingdom, one hundred and forty four thousand, twelve thousand of each tribe, because those are the elect of Israel; from among the rest of the persons, the elect are one hundred and forty four thousand, twelve thousand of each tribe, as in the midst of Christianity are the elects which are represented in the wise virgins and the rest are represented in the foolish virgins.
By being virgins they are believers that also love God, but are not part of the wise virgins. Thus it is also with Israel, the wise virgins of Israel are the one hundred and forty four thousand, and the foolish virgins are the rest of the people. The wise virgins are those that receive Christ in His Coming, who were awaken with the midnight cry of Matthew, chapter 25, verses 1, to 13, the Bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage and the door was shut. Then when the other virgins came to knock at the door, the door was already shut, they were cast into the outer darkness which is the great tribulation.
How will He come, when will He come, and all those details are still a mystery that will be opened in the Third Pull or time for the fulfillment of the Tent-Vision, but we’re just explaining a little bit of that, but when that mystery is fully opened, you will see clearly the whole mystery of the Seventh Seal, and you will also see the crucifixion more clearly, in other words, the second crucifixion which will not be literally.
Now, it is important to be aware of the crucifixion of Christ two thousand years ago back there at Jerusalem, and the purpose of that crucifixion, and all the blessing, all the benefit that have received all the persons that have been hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and have received Christ as only and sufficient Savior, and have been baptized in water in His Name and Christ has baptized them with Holy Spirit and Fire and has produced the new birth in those persons, they have been rescued from the kingdom of darkness and placed in the Kingdom of God, they have been set as members of the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior.
“THE CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH OF CHRIST.”
We are aware that that event was real, and it served for a divine purpose, it was already prophesied and it had to be fulfilled as it was prophesied. As also the second crucifixion is already typified in the first crucifixion, it is also typified in Psalm 22, which speaks of the first crucifixion, the death of the Messiah, and consequently that prophecy has also a double fulfillment regarding to this end time, a second crucifixion.
“THE CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH OF CHRIST.” who was the Word, and became flesh and dwelt in the midst of the people. We always find, that when the promised Word for each time is made flesh, it is quickened by the Holy Spirit in a person, in those prophets of each time, they are small messiahs, because what Messiah means Christ, means anointed, they were anointed with the Holy Spirit, they were small messiahs, the small anointed ones.
But when the Greater of them all came, Jesus Christ, He was the fulness of the Godhead bodily, He was the Main Messiah, the One who would fulfill the Messianic promises for that time, in and through Whom the promises of the Coming of the Messiah would be fulfilled for that time, because He was the Word in all It’s fulness; He was the Word incarnate in the midst of His people; He was Immanuel which translated is: ‘God with us,’ says in Isaiah chapter, 7, verse 14, and St. Matthew chapter 1, verses 17, to 23. Immanuel which translated is: ‘God with us.’
Even though the crucifixion was something painful, we find that afterwards it brings joy to the believers in Christ, because there was fulfilled the Work of Redemption, the Work of Atonement at Cavalry’s Cross; He came with that commission and He fulfilled it completely for my benefit, and for the benefit of who else? Of each one of you also.
If there is anyone who has not received Christ as Savior, you may do it in these moments, and we will be praying for you so that Christ may receive you in His Kingdom, may bless you and place you in His Kingdom with eternal Life, for which you may come to the front and we will pray for you.
And those in other nations may also come to the front wherever you are found, in the church or auditorium or at the place where you are found, so that you may be included in the prayer we will be doing.
In the rest of the countries you may also come to the Feet of Christ in these moments, those of you that have not done it, and the children of ten years and older may come to the Feet of Christ our Savior.
There is no other name given to men wherein we can be saved, there is only One, and that Name is Lord Jesus Christ, who died on Cavalry’s Cross for me and for who else? For each of you also, the purpose of His death was to give us eternal Life.
Let us stand to pray for the people that have come to the Feet of Christ our Savior in these moments. God has much people in Puerto Rico and as the days and the months pass by, we will see it more clearly, and has also much people in all of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The blessing of God has moved from stage to stage and from age to age and from territory to territory, and now that blessing is in Latin America and the Caribbean. If the politicians knew this, they would work more effectively in accordance with the Program of God in benefit of the people of God. There is a great blessing for the Latin Americans including the Caribbean (the Caribbean people). The best part of God’s Program has been granted to Latin America and the Caribbean.
In the rest of the countries you may continue to come to the Feet of Christ our Savior. We are going to pray now for the persons that have come to the Feet of Christ, for which let us raise our hands to Heaven and with our eyes closed let us pray:
“Our Father which art in heaven, hollowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Father I come to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ with all these persons that have heard and have received Christ as only and sufficient Savior. I beg You to receive them in Your Kingdom and bless them greatly.
And now repeat with me this prayer, those that have come to the Feet of Christ in these moments, repeat after me:
Lord Jesus Christ I heard the preaching of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my heart. I believe in You with all my soul, I believe in Your first Coming and I believe in Your death at Cavalry’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for my sins and of every human being.
I believe in Your Name as the only Name under Heaven given unto men whereby we shall be saved. Lord, I give public testimony of my faith in You and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I beg You to forgive me and with Your Blood You may cleanse me of all sin and may You baptize me with Holy Spirit and Fire after I’d be baptized in water in Your Name, and may the new birth be produced in me.
I want to be born in Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally with You in Your Kingdom. Lord, I have believed in Your death at the Cross of Calvary as the Sacrifice of atonement for my sins. I recognize and believe that at Cavalry’ Cross You purchased my salvation. I beg You to make it a reality life. Save me Lord, make a reality the salvation you purchased for me at Cavalry’s Cross. I ask it in Your eternal and glorious Name Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
And with our hands raised to Heaven to Christ, we all say:
The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed us of all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed us of all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed us of all sin! Amen.
Christ has received you in His Kingdom, has forgiven your sins and with His Blood has cleansed you of every sin because you have received Him as your only and sufficient Savior, for which you will say to me: “I want to be baptized in water as soon as possible,” for Christ said: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved,” you will say to me: “I heard the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, I believed, I have received Him as my Savior, and I want to be baptized now in the Name of the Lord. When can I be baptized? Is the question from the inwards of your heart. Inasmuch as you have believed in Christ with all your heart, you may be baptized and may Christ baptize you all with Holy Spirit and Fire and may He produce in you the new birth.
The baptism in water does not take away sins, it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us of all sin. But the baptism in water is a commandment of Christ. Christ Himself was baptized by John the Baptist, and when he saw Him entering the baptismal waters, he did not want to baptize Him, he said to Him: “I am in need to be baptized by You and You come to me to baptize You?” Jesus tells him: “It is convenient for us to fulfill all righteousness,” and then he baptized Him. If Christ to fulfill all righteousness before God had to be baptized, how much more we.
The baptism in water is typological, it has a very important symbolism, and it is that the baptism in water is unto the physical likeness of death burial and resurrection of Christ.
When the person is baptized in water in the Name of the Lord, is identifying with Christ en His death, burial and resurrection.
When the person receives Christ as Savior, he dies to the world, when he is submerged in the baptismal waters by the minister, the person is being buried typologically, and when he is raised from the waters he is resurrecting unto a new life: unto eternal Life with Christ in His Kingdom. As simple as that is the symbolism the typology of the baptism in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are millions of human beings that have heard the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and have been baptized in water by receiving Him as Savior, they have been baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; millions of human beings from the day of Pentecost to the present time that have been baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and Christ has baptized them with Holy Spirit and Fire and has produced in them the new birth, and now it is your turn.
Therefore, you may well be baptized and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produce in you the new birth, and we will continue to see each other for all eternity in the glorious Kingdom of Christ our Savior.
Continue having a happy afternoon filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior, and we will see each other tomorrow, God willing, in the ministers meeting, the reverend Jose Benjamin Perez will inform you about the ministers meeting, for tomorrow, God willing.
So therefore, I leave with you the reverend Jose Benjamin Perez and in every country I leave you with the relevant minister so that he may indicate to those that have received Christ what to do to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
May the blessings of Christ the Angel of the Covenant be upon every one of you and upon me also. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
I leave with you the reverend Jose Benjamin Perez, and in each country the minister concerned.
