For today, we will have two videos of the activities of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace in Texas, which were carried out during our last tour in the United States. And on the other part, we will see a video of The Great Tent Cathedral, where we will get to know how all of the work is being carried out in the construction of this building, which is being built thanks to the collaboration of many churches in different parts of the world. Go ahead with the corresponding video.
[Screening of videos-documentaries]
We have seen the advances of the construction of The Great Tent Cathedral and we have also seen the works of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace. And now we will go to the Bible study for today’s Sunday Bible School. For which we will read in First of Samuel, chapter 16, verses 1 to 14:
“And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.”
The topic for today’s Bible school is: “DAVID, THE EIGHTH SON OF JESSE, ANOINTED AS KING OF ISRAEL.”
It is important to know that David is a man according to the heart of God and he is a prophet, and consequently he has both consciousnesses together: the prophets have the subconscious and the conscious together. That is why, even while being awake, they can see with the subconscious because they do not have the barrier that normal human beings have.
That is why they see in other dimensions, they can hear the Voice of God and they can see God in His manifestations, and also the angels. And the Scripture says that “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets.” (Amos, chapter 3, verse 7).
And also in Zechariah, chapter 7, verse 11 to 12, says that Israel did not want to hear God. And how was God speaking to them, for Israel to hear God?… Chapter 7, verse 11 and on, says:
“But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”
Here it is established the way God spoke to the Hebrew people: He spoke to them through His Spirit through the prophets; because the Word comes through the prophets: “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets.” That is why He sends them with both consciousnesses together, to be able to hear the Voice of God and be able to communicate what God says to the people that is under the Covenant in effect in that time.
Israel was under the Covenant of the Law, therefore Israel received from behalf of God the prophet messengers relevant to the Dispensation of the Law.
And we find that not only was David the king, but also a prophet; and consequently, God spoke to him, God guided him and God chose him to be king in place of Saul. And David was the eighth son of Jesse, born in Bethlehem of Judea because the Christ would be born in Bethlehem of Judea [Matthew 2:4-6]; therefore, David also had to be from Bethlehem.
And the Christ, the Messiah, would be born in the House of the Bread of God, which is Bethlehem because Bethlehem is or means “the house of the bread of God”; that is why Jesus Christ had to also be born in Bethlehem, because He said: “I am the living bread: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever.” [John 6:51]
And now, we find that David being the eighth son of Jesse is type and figure of the coming King, descendant of king David, for the last time. The coming King must be Jewish, and He must fulfill the type and figure of David; because David is type and figure of the Prince Messiah who will come and will govern upon Israel and upon all nations; the King who will restore the Kingdom of Israel and will occupy the Throne of David
Therefore, it is important to know that David is the eighth son of Jesse, anointed as king of Israel.
Now, for this end time, the eighth son of the monarchy of the Son of David will appear; and that will be the Coming of the Son of Man for the end time, to reclaim the Throne and Kingdom of David, and sit upon the Throne of David, and govern, rule upon Israel, upon every nation; Jerusalem as the capital, Federal District: all of Israel.
And all the nations, which will be saved during the great tribulation, will enter into the Kingdom of the Jewish Prince Messiah, and peace and happiness will run from Jerusalem like a river to all nations.
He is the One who will bring permanent peace for Israel and for all nations. For which we want that One who is represented in the eighth son of Jesse to appear, which will be the One anointed as the King of Israel; and He must appear in this end time. The Jews are expecting Him, Christianity is also expecting Him.
There is a mystery, a secret. The greatest secret of the entire Bible is in the Coming of the Son of Man for the Last Day, to speak to Israel and also speak to Christianity.
How will He come? When will He come? Who will He be? That is the secret. All of that is inside the Seventh Seal of Revelation, chapter 8 and chapter 10 of Revelation, the book that is as the book of the prophet Daniel; who also saw Him in chapter 7 coming and taking the rights of the Kingdom, the rights to eternal life, for the establishment of the Kingdom of David, the restoration of the Kingdom of David, of which the disciples of Jesus Christ asked Jesus in the book of Acts, chapter 1: “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” He said: “It is not for you to know.”
It was not for them to know; but it is for us to know, because we are in the time for the restoration of the Kingdom of David and Throne of David.
That is the only hope there is for the Jewish people and for all of humanity. Without that hope, life has no meaning. Life would be to work, sleep, eat, let the years pass by and then die; and that is not life.
Life is the Lord, He is the Life for every human being. And to know the mysteries of the Lord, the Divine Program relevant to the time in which one lives, is the greatest privilege and blessing; because one is receiving the revelation of the Divine Program to be inside the Divine Program, not living ignoring what God is doing on Earth.
It is important to be aware of the eighth son of Jesse, anointed as king of Israel, he is type and figure of the Prince Messiah who will reclaim the Throne and Kingdom of David, and will establish the Kingdom of God on Earth; because the Kingdom of God on Earth is the Kingdom of David, and the earthly Throne of God is the Throne of David.
Therefore, it is important to know these mysteries of the Bible, so that way we are not ignoring what is happening in the Divine Program.
It is required to know that God is the King of the universe and that we are here with and for a divine purpose. We are not here to waste time. We are here to enter into a Divine Program, which will take us to eternal life, to never die.
Therefore, it is important to be alert because the eighth son of Jesse typified in David, will be revealed; and the Jews are going to receive Him. But, where will He come from? We will see that some day.
Let us see here, First of Chronicles, chapter 29, verses 22 and on, says:
“And did eat and drink before the Lord on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father…”
On which throne did Solomon sit? On the throne of David his father; and it says that it is the Throne of God, the Throne of the Kingdom of God. In other words, the earthly Throne of God is the Throne of David and the earthly Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of David.
That is why the Jews asked: “When will You restore….? Will You at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” Because the kingdom of Israel or Kingdom of David is the earthly Kingdom of God, and the Throne of David is the earthly Throne of God, which is connected to the heavenly Throne of God and heavenly Kingdom of God.
The representation of the heavenly Kingdom of God is the Throne of David and Kingdom of David. It is as simple as that.
And there will be an eighth son of David; in other words, there will be an eighth son of Jesse, represented in David, David the Beloved. Bethlehem, Bethlehem of Judea: “The house of the bread of God.”
Christianity is expecting the Coming of the Lord. The Lord will first come to His Church and then to the Jews; because the House of the Bread of God (which Christ is the Bread of God, who said [John 6:48]: “I am that bread of life”) is in the Church, which is the spiritual House of God of the New Testament, of the New Covenant.
So Christianity must open their eyes because the Coming of the Lord will first be fulfilled in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the spiritual Temple of God and is the House of the Bread of Life; because Christ and His Church are one. His Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and she is the one under the New Covenant, the New Testament.
Then He will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people. The Hebrew people will see Him, they will see the Coming of the Lord in His Church, and will say: “He is the One we are waiting for!” Then they will receive Him, and the Dispensation of the Kingdom will enter, which is what corresponds to the Jews, that interlacing of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Dispensation of the Grace. It is as simple as that.
But since it is a mystery, the greatest mystery of all mysteries, it is sealed until that moment in which God opens it and makes known the mystery of the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Son of Man at this end time to His Church, and then to the Hebrew people.
Therefore, a time for preparation will come for Christians and also for the Jews, to be prepared for the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the King of Israel, the Coming of which David is the type and figure as the eighth son of Jesse.
Remember that Christ said in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16… Christ in Holy Spirit is the One who speaks in the book of Revelation; that is why it always says: “The Spirit says such thing. The Spirit says…” And then says: “The Spirit and the Bride say…”, because the Church must repeat what Christ in Holy Spirit is saying to and in the midst of His Church. Chapter 22, verse 16, says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
Here we can see that Christ is the root and the offspring of David. He is the Son of David. And the promise of the manifestation of the Son of Man in the midst of Christianity is promised for the Last Day, and then in the midst of the Jews. That is the Coming of the Lord for the end time. There is a great mystery there.
Remember that Christ always said: “The Son of Man.” It is that as the Son of Man that title corresponds to a prophet; that is why Christ as a prophet identified Himself as the Son of Man.
And the promise is that the Son of Man will come in the clouds with His Angels, to call and gather the chosen of the Hebrew people, which are one hundred and forty-four thousand chosen, twelve thousand from each tribe; but He first comes and manifests Himself in the midst of His Church at this end time.
Christianity must be prepared for that event, be very united; and also the Jews; so that the Coming of the Son of Man is of blessing, they may identify Him and be able to receive the blessings that come in the Son of Man for the human beings in this end time.
“THE EIGHTH SON OF JESSE ANOINTED AS KING OF ISRAEL.”
That has been our Bible school topic for today Sunday’s Bible school here at The Great Tent Cathedral, and for all who are connected to this transmission via satellite or via Internet.
If there is a person who has not yet received Christ as Savior, you may do so in this occasion; and we will be praying for you so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, forgives you and with His Blood cleanses you from all sin, and be baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptize you will Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in you.
Remember that he who is not born again, cannot enter into the Kingdom of God, said Christ in John, chapter 3, verses 1 to 6. It is necessary to be born again, says Christ.
In the Kingdom of Christ, which is in the spiritual realm, the new birth is being produced each day, of persons who receive Christ as only and sufficient Savior; and then the physical part will come, which will be the resurrection of the dead in Christ in glorified and eternal bodies (as the one Jesus Christ has), and the transformation of the born again believers in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will be alive; and then Israel will receive the Prince Messiah, the Son of David.
Israel is expecting the Son of David, the Prince Messiah, they are expecting a man, a prophet in whom the prophecies will be fulfilled; that is what Israel is expecting.
Let us stand to pray for the persons who are coming to the Feet of Christ our Savior, in different nations and here as well.
Children 10 years and older may also come to the Feet of Christ. Christ said: “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” [Matthew 19:14]
With our heads bowed and our eyes closed:
Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we come to You bringing these persons who are receiving Christ as only and sufficient Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom, I pray to You, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
And now those who have come to the Feet of Christ at this moment, repeat this prayer 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. I believe in Your Name as the only name under Heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved. I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins. I believe, Lord, in You with all my soul.
I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I need a Savior, a Redeemer. I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I pray You forgive my sins and with Your Blood cleanse me from all sin, and baptize me with Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in me.
I pray to you in Your Eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
Now, those who have received Christ will ask: “When can you baptize me?”
When Peter preached and when the apostles preached, the different apostles, the same day they preached and people accepted Christ as Savior: they were baptized. Because the baptism comes first, and then the baptism in the Holy Spirit comes.
And when Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost, there were thousands of people who came, and when they believed they were baptized in the Name of the Lord. That is the biblical way from behalf of God for all Christianity, and that way has always been in the Bible to be practiced by all the believers, by all pastors, by all the churches of Christianity.
God has not changed that form. Baptizing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ means that you are being baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; because Father, Son and Holy Spirit is: LORD JESUS CHRIST. It is as simple as that.
That is why in Christianity one cannot change the way of baptizing the apostles used, because that is the one the Holy Spirit gave by revelation to Peter and the rest of the apostles. It is as simple as that.
When it is done as it was already established, one cannot fail. If the way God used is changed, there already is a failure, and it would not be doing according to the Divine Program for Christianity. Consequently, one must go on until the last chosen of God in the Mystical Body of Christ enters, and Christ completes His Church, and resurrects the dead in Christ, and transforms those who will be alive and take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Therefore, those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion may be baptized; and may Christ baptize you will Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in you. And we will continue to see each other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior.
“DAVID, THE EIGHTH SON OF JESSE, ANOINTED AS KING OF ISRAEL.”
That has been the topic for our Bible school for today Sunday, February 19, 2017.
Continue having a happy afternoon, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
I leave Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez with you to continue, to let you know what you must do in order to be baptized, those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion; and in each country I leave the corresponding minister to do the same which will be done here.
May God bless you and keep you all, and continue having a happy afternoon, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
“DAVID, THE EIGHTH SON OF JESSE, ANOINTED AS KING OF ISRAEL.”
