Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present, radio listeners, and television viewers. It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Divine Program pertaining to this end time.
For this reason, I want to read in Isaiah chapter 55, verse 1 to 11, where God says:
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
May God allow us to understand His Word on this occasion.
Our subject for this occasion is: “DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.”
“DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.” That is our subject for this occasion.
In order to understand God’s thought we need God’s thought to be expressed to human beings, and God has done this from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation through His prophets.
God has spoken to His prophets and His prophets have spoken to the people; and what they have spoken to the people on behalf of God is God’s thought expressed in Message form. And as God has thought, so has He spoken to the prophet or prophets He has sent from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation; and as it has been spoken, so has God been doing.
The Word that has been spoken does not return to God void, in other words, what God has said through His prophets does not return to God without being fulfilled because that is God’s thought.
And now, the way to discern God’s thoughts, notice how it’s done: in First Corinthians chapter 2, verses 9 and on, it tells us:
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
Through the Spirit of God we can obtain the knowledge of God’s thoughts, because the Spirit of God searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Everything that is in God’s Mind, the Spirit of God knows it and reveals it to human beings through His prophets, whom God’s revelation, the revelation of the Divine thoughts, comes to. The revelation of the Divine thoughts comes to God’s prophets, and they make those Divine thoughts known to human beings.
It is very important to know God’s thoughts in order to know the things that God has done in the past, the things He is doing in the present, and the things He will do in the future; because as God has thought, so has He spoken to His prophets and so have His prophets spoken to the people, and that is what God has done from age to age, and from dispensation to dispensation.
Through the Spirit of God, we obtain the revelation of even the deep things of God, of the Mind of God:
[1 Corinthians 2:11-16] “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.”
Now, notice how the Mind of Christ, which is the Mind of the Holy Spirit, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, has been revealing even the deep things of God; the Spirit of God is the One that has brought the Divine Revelation in the different times.
And for the Dispensation of Grace and then for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, the Spirit of God continues to be the One that brings the revelation of the Divine thoughts of and for this end time. And in order to discern God’s thought at the Last Day, we need the Spirit of God manifested among His Church.
Christ, speaking about the Holy Spirit, said in Saint John chapter 14, verse 26:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
What does Jesus Christ say the Holy Spirit will do? “He shall teach you all things.” He will teach the Divine thoughts, He will make them known.
And those Divine thoughts that have already been spoken in the Old Testament are made known, those Scriptures are opened, those Divine thoughts that are in the form of spoken Word; those thoughts are opened, those Scriptures are opened, to understand, to discern God’s thought.
Do you want to know how God thinks? Read the Bible. God’s way of thinking is in the Bible; and the Bible is God’s thought written down, which was revealed to God’s prophets, and they spoke those Divine thoughts; and then those Divine thoughts were written as the Word of God. “And the Heavens and Earth shall pass away, but My Word shall not pass away,” God says; Jesus Christ said that two thousand years ago.1
So we can see that the written Word must be fulfilled. The prophecies of the things that God would do from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation are here, because the written Word is God’s thought revealed to His prophets, spoken by them, and written as well.
And now, having this clear picture of what God’s thought is and how God’s thought has been revealed to God’s prophets by the Spirit of God, we can see that what Saint Paul the Apostle said in His Letter to the Hebrews, in chapter 1, verse 1 and on, is in accordance with what the Old Testament prophets spoke. He says:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets…”
How did God speak to the Hebrew people? Through the prophets. That is God’s way of speaking to His people; because they come with both consciouses together, and they have been sent by God to this earth for that purpose: to receive the Divine thoughts from God and make them known to human beings, to discern the Divine thoughts of the things that God would do throughout the different generations, ages, and dispensations.
God says that He spoke through the prophets. And Saint Paul goes on to say:
“…Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
Notice, God spoke through Jesus Christ in all His fullness, for God was manifested in all His fullness in that veil of flesh called Jesus. God’s Mind was there, the Spirit of God, and He was discerning God’s thoughts pertaining to that time and also to future times.
That is why Jesus Christ spoke of the things that God was carrying out at that time through Him, through Jesus; and He also spoke of the things God would do later on, in other words, He prophesied of what would come later on; because the Discerner of God’s thoughts was there, which is the Holy Spirit; He was manifested in Jesus in all His fullness.
And now, notice how Christ identified that time in which He lived as the time of the fulfillment of the Messianic promise, and He identified the Messianic promise being fulfilled in Him when He read, in Saint Luke chapter 4, verse 17 and on, where it says:
“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias,” (this was in the synagogue in Nazareth). “And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Jesus was testifying there that this Scripture, the Scripture of the Coming of God’s Anointed with the Holy Spirit to carry out the fulfillment of those prophetic promises, that Scripture was fulfilled among them in human flesh in the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, who was there with them speaking, reading this Messianic Scripture and testifying to them that It was fulfilled among them.
Some people thought: “Isn’t this the son of Joseph? Don’t we know Him and know His whole family?”2 But nevertheless, this Man—called Jesus of Nazareth—was the veil of flesh in whom the promises of the First Coming of Christ were being fulfilled.
And Jesus, with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God in Him, was discerning God’s thoughts pertaining to that time; and He was opening those Scriptures, He was making known God’s thought pertaining to that time. And God’s thought pertaining to that time was that He would send the Messiah at that time; and that Divine thought made a reality was there.
It was also in the Divine thought to send the forerunner beforehand to prepare the way of the Lord,3 and that was also fulfilled among the Hebrew people, and it was John the Baptist.4 John the Baptist was the Divine thought of the man who would prepare the way of the Lord; and that promise was fulfilled in John the Baptist, and that is why Jesus said: “And if you will receive him, this is Elijah, which was to come.” Jesus said that in Saint Matthew chapter 11, verse 14, and also in Saint Matthew chapter 17, verse 10 and on, when He came down Mount Transfiguration.
There in verse—from verse 10 to verse 13, it shows us what Jesus said when they asked Him… it says:
“And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
Now, notice how for the second time Jesus identifies John the Baptist as the Elijah who was to come at that time preparing the way of the Lord; and he came in such a way that they didn’t even realize that Elijah in his third manifestation had come, forerunning the First Coming of Christ. That was the Divine thought for that time, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.5
And now, notice how God’s thought has been fulfilled. Because when God’s thought has been revealed to God’s prophets through the Spirit of God, which is the One that knows all of God’s thoughts, which is the One that even knows the deep things of God, and by God’s prophets having the Spirit of God: through the Spirit of God has come the discernment of God’s thoughts; and then those prophets, as I said, have spoken those Divine thoughts which they have discerned through the Spirit of God, and it has become a prophecy which must be fulfilled.
And now, let’s see how during the Old Testament the prophecies pertaining to the Old Testament were fulfilled.
Such as, for example, we have the prophecy of the Hebrew people being in bondage, a prophecy that was given to Abraham. Abraham, through the Spirit of God, discerned God’s thought regarding the seed of Abraham, his seed; and he knew what would happen to his seed, even before Abraham had a son through Sarah. In chapter 15, verse 12 and on, of the Book of Genesis, it says:
“And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”
Here we can see God revealing His thought to Abraham. Abraham, having the Spirit of God, was able to catch, to discern the Divine thought.
And now, we find that the Hebrew people came out of Isaac, from Isaac to Jacob, from Jacob to the patriarchs, and from the patriarchs came the families that formed the Hebrew nation, the Hebrew people.
And now, notice, when Joseph was sold by his brothers, Joseph was taken all the way to Egypt as a slave; but as a slave in Egypt, he was later unjustly imprisoned, and he came out of prison to interpret a dream to the Pharaoh of Egypt; and the dream was the one about the lean cows and the fat cows, as well as the thin ears of corn and the well-favored ears of corn.
God had revealed to Pharaoh what would happen in his kingdom, and that they would have seven years of plenty and then seven years of famine would follow. And we find that Pharaoh couldn’t understand what had happened to him on that occasion, and he asked that they bring him someone who knew how to interpret dreams, but no one could interpret the dream for Pharaoh.
Pharaoh’s dream, notice, couldn’t be interpreted by anyone; but the God of Heaven certainly can interpret dreams; dreams that Pharaoh was given by God could be interpreted by God Himself.
No one could interpret that dream; and then when Joseph appeared and Pharaoh told him the dream, Joseph gave him the interpretation. Notice, seven thick ears of corn and then seven thin ears of corn, and seven well-favored or fat cows and seven lean cows, is the same thing, they mean the same thing: seven years of plenty and seven years of famine.6
And now, with that interpretation given by Joseph to Pharaoh, Pharaoh recognizes that in this man is the Spirit of God which knows the things of God, which knows God’s thought.
And the Spirit of God manifested in Joseph revealed God’s thought which had been expressed in the dream that the king, the Pharaoh of Egypt had. And he gives Pharaoh the interpretation; and Pharaoh, very happy, very pleased, recognizes that the Spirit of God, the Discerner of God’s thought, is in Joseph.
And with the Discerner of God’s thought there among Pharaoh’s empire, they could know the things that God was going to do in Egypt at that time; and now the Prophet *Joseph is revealing them through the Spirit of God, the Discerner of God’s thoughts, which was in him.
Now we can see that Pharaoh said: “There is no one like this man in whom the Spirit of God is.” The king needed a man like that, and Joseph had recommended to the king to find a wise man, a discreet man, and make him ruler over his business, so that they store food in those seven years of plenty, so that once seven years of famine came along, the Egyptian people wouldn’t die. And Pharaoh spoke with his wise men; it says… It says the following:
[Genesis 41:37] “And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?”
It is very hard to find a man in whom the Spirit of God is revealing God’s thought for an age or for a dispensation, because God only sends one messenger for each age, one messenger of an age for each age; and when a change in dispensation comes along, God sends a dispensational prophet for that new dispensation that must be opened; and that kind of prophet is not very common, because God only has seven dispensational prophets.
The first was Adam, the second was Seth, the third was Noah, the fourth was Abraham, the fifth was Moses, the sixth was Jesus, and the seventh is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And each dispensational messenger is sent for the dispensation to which he belongs.
• And for the Dispensation of Innocence, the Prophet Adam was sent for that first dispensation.
• For the second dispensation, which is the Dispensation of Conscience, the Prophet Seth was sent.
• For the third dispensation, the Dispensation of Human Government, the Prophet Noah was sent.
• For the fourth dispensation, the Dispensation of the Promise, the Prophet and Patriarch Abraham was sent.
• For the fifth dispensation, which is the Dispensation of Law, the Prophet Moses was sent.
• For the sixth dispensation, the Dispensation of Grace, Jesus Christ was sent.
• And for the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, we have the promise that at the Last Day the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ would be sent, testifying these things in the Churches.
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches,” says Revelation chapter 22, verse 16.
And in Revelation chapter 4, verse 1, Christ says with that Voice of Trumpet: “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.”
Christ promises to make known to His people the things which must happen after the things that have already happened during the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church throughout these two thousand years that have passed.
Now, Christ promises to make known the things that will happen at the Last Day, meaning, in the seventh millennium; and for this reason, He calls us, He invites us to go up to where He is at the Last Day, which is in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, so that we can hear the Voice of Christ, the Voice of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger; because the Discerner of God’s thoughts will be in His Angel-Messenger.
And who is the Discerner of God’s thoughts? It is the Holy Spirit, who was in the Old Testament prophets. He was in Jesus in all His fullness, He was in the apostles, He was in Saint Paul and the other angel-messengers of the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church; and at this Last Day He will be in His Angel-Messenger making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.
He will be in His Angel-Messenger discerning God’s thought at the Last Day and pertaining to the Last Day, discerning what God thought before the foundation of the world to do at the Last Day, to do at this end time in which we are living.
And these things that God thought to do at the end time, at the Last Day, notice, we find them prophesied in different passages in the Old Testament and also the New Testament.
Jesus Christ Himself spoke of things He will do at the Last Day, because these are things that God thought before the foundation of the world to do at the Last Day.
And notice a few things among the main things that God will do. Jesus Christ says in Saint John chapter 6, verses 39 to 40:
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”
In the Mind of God, God thought of the resurrection of all the believers in Jesus Christ at the Last Day.
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Here we have this thought of Jesus Christ, of God, for the Last Day: the resurrection of all the saints who have believed in Him and have departed. And what did God think regarding us who are alive? Before the foundation of the world, He thought to change our bodies; which is why we have the promise of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, as Saint Paul the Apostle says in his Letter to the Corinthians, in chapter 15, verses 49 to 54, where he says [First Corinthians]:
“And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I shew you a mystery,” (here he is going to tell us a mystery of the Divine Mind that is to be fulfilled at the Last Day); “we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed…”
Here is the transformation of our bodies promised to be fulfilled at the Last Day, when the dead in Christ will also rise in incorruptible or eternal bodies. It says:
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible…”
How will the dead in Christ rise? In incorruptible bodies, meaning, eternal bodies. And what will become of us? He says:
“…And we shall be changed.”
And when is the resurrection of the dead in Christ, according to the promises of Jesus Christ? It is at the Last Day.
The Last Day is the Lord’s Day, the seventh millennium; because one day before the Lord is like a thousand years to human beings. Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, says so; and Psalm 90, verse 4, also testifies of this truth.
Now, notice, first the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place and then the transformation of us who are alive. It is all at the Last Day. That is in God’s thought, and has been spoken prophetically through the prophets of the Old Testament and also the New Testament.
“For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal,” (in other words, this mortal and *corruptible body must put on incorruption), “must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
From that point on, there will be no more death for the body of God’s sons and daughters, because we will have an eternal body; we will be changed and we will have the eternal body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me, and for all the dead in Christ, whom Christ has said that He will raise up at the Last Day.
This is God’s thought, and that thought of God has already been prophesied through the prophets to whom God revealed these thoughts in the Old Testament and also in the New Testament.
And now, since all of this is in the Word of prophecy, we need to understand that Word of prophecy, so that we who are alive may obtain the preparation to be changed and raptured.
Now, what is the Last Trumpet? When a trumpet is mentioned, that is referring to a person’s voice, and when the Trumpet of God is mentioned, that is referring to the Voice of God.
Notice here in Revelation chapter 1, verses 10 to 11, what Saint John the Apostle tells us. He says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day…”
In that vision, John was on which day? The Lord’s Day. He was transported to the Lord’s Day in a vision; and the Lord’s Day is the seventh millennium. That is the Lord’s Day, that is the Last Day.
“…And heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet…”
Here he heard a Voice as of a trumpet; in other words, it is not a literal trumpet, but the Voice of a Person with an urgent Message.
“…Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
And now, who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
It is the Voice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, it is the Voice of our Beloved, as it says in the Song of Solomon;7 the Voice of the Beloved, the Beloved of His Church. It is the Voice of Christ, of our Beloved, speaking to us at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, with a Voice as of a trumpet, a Great Voice of Trumpet.
Didn’t Jesus Christ also say in Saint Matthew chapter 24, verse 31: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect?” It is the same Voice.
It is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Bridegroom, the Voice of our Savior, speaking to us at the Last Day with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and making known to us God’s thoughts pertaining to the Last Day, so that we can understand the things that God will do at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, which we are already living in if we add to the calendar the years it is behind; but if we don’t add to the calendar the years it is behind, then there are only three years left to reach the seventh millennium.
So, whether we add to the calendar the years it is behind or not, notice, we are at the time to hear the same Voice that John heard on the Lord’s day.
It is the Voice of the Bridegroom, the Voice of Jesus Christ, making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass. It is the Voice of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, discerning God’s thought at the Last Day and of the Last Day, and making known to us that Divine thought, which has already been revealed and prophesied in the Scripture through God’s prophets.
And we need Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger to discern these Divine thoughts that are in the form of prophecy and to open our understanding, and to open those prophecies to us so that we can understand these thoughts of God pertaining to this time in which we are living.
Notice, it tells us here that it will be at the Last Trumpet. The Last Trumpet is the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of Christ through His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day, with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom being proclaimed by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger.
By God’s sons and daughters, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, hearing the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ making known to us these things which must shortly come to pass: we are hearing—through His Angel—the Lord Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit discerning the Divine thoughts pertaining to this end time.
We have seen what the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet is.
See how we need the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, through His Angel-Messenger, to discern these Divine thoughts and make known to us the meaning of these Divine thoughts that have been prophesied for the Last Day? The Divine thought of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached; that is the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet sounding at the Last Day.
And now, notice, he also tells us: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,” and eyes represent prophets, messengers of God.
We have seen that in the first age and for the first age, one of the seven eyes of the Lamb that are on the seven horns of the Lamb was opened, and then that eye was closed when that messenger died. That messenger, that eye, was Saint Paul, in whom was the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Discerner of God’s thoughts.
Then came the second angel-messenger, and that is when the second eye was opened, out of the seven eyes that the Lamb has on His seven horns of Revelation chapter 5. Let’s see, so that you have a clear picture of what we are talking about. Chapter 5, verse 6, says:
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”
The Spirit of God has gone throughout the whole Earth manifested in each angel-messenger of each Gentile Church age; and that has been the manifestation of each of those seven eyes of the Lamb that He has in each of those seven horns; and the seven horns are the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church.
And now, notice, the first one opened: Saint Paul, and then it closed when he died; then the second one, when that messenger began, when he was sent and began his ministry, and then when he died, that eye closed; and so on, seven consecutive times: in the twinkling of an eye.
In the twinkling of an eye, this whole part about the ages would take place; and after that, the Last Trumpet would come: “At the last trump.”
When it speaks about the Last Trumpet, that is because the other Trumpets have come before that Trumpet; and since it is the Voice of Christ speaking, well, the Voice of Christ was speaking through Saint Paul and the other angel-messengers of the seven Gentile Church ages. In other words, the Voice of Christ was heard in each age, a Trumpet was heard: the Message of Christ through each angel-messenger.
And now, at the Last Day, at the end time, the Last Trumpet is sounded, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the Dispensation of the Kingdom. And that is why the Last Trumpet is mentioned as a Great Voice of Trumpet too, as Jesus Christ spoke in Saint Matthew chapter 24, verse 31, when He said:
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect…”
And in Revelation chapter 1, verse 10, John heard behind him a Great Voice of Trumpet; because it is a dispensational Message through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, giving us the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work. All of this is in God’s thought before the foundation of the world to be fulfilled at this time in which we are living.
Now, notice how the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, which is the Discerner of God’s thoughts, has been moving from messenger to messenger and has been discerning the things pertaining to each age.
And at this Last Day, we find that He also prophesied through His messengers in the Old Testament and in the New Testament about the things that will happen at this end time.
And so that we understand these things that will happen, Jesus Christ says in Revelation 22, verse 16:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
What things? These things which must shortly be done.
This was promised by Christ in Revelation chapter 4, verse 1, when He said with that Voice of Trumpet:
“Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
We must go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit would be at this Last Day, manifested through His Angel-Messenger.
In Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, it tells us:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
In order for us to know the things which must shortly be done, Jesus Christ has sent His Angel; and through His Angel, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Discerner of God’s thoughts, will be discerning God’s thoughts pertaining to the Last Day and making known to us those Divine thoughts, which are also in prophecies here in the Bible; and thus, He opens the Divine Mind to us as well as God’s thoughts, which He had before the foundation of the world for this Last Day.
Everything that God thought to do at this end time at the Last Day, the Discerner of God’s thoughts, which is the Holy Spirit, is the only One who can make them known at this time.
Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is the Discerner of God’s thoughts, and through His Angel-Messenger: He discerns the thoughts of God and reveals them to all of God’s sons and daughters at this end time, at this Last Day, and makes known to us the things that God will be doing at this Last Day. He shows us the things He has already done at this Last Day, the things that are in the process of being fulfilled and the things He will do later on.
All of this is revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, through the Discerner of God’s thoughts, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested at this Last Day through His Angel-Messenger.
There is no other way to be able to understand God’s thoughts pertaining to the Last Day, there is no other way to be able to understand what God before the foundation of the world thought to do at this Last Day; it is only through the Discerner of God’s thoughts, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, at the Last Day, revealing to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; revealing them through His Angel-Messenger.
And that is how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day would have the Discerner of God’s thoughts at the Last Day.
We have reached the most glorious time of all times. We have reached the time when the Discerner of God’s thoughts would be manifested at this Last Day in human flesh through His Angel-Messenger, making known to us God’s thought that He had for this Last Day; and thus, making known to us all the things God will be doing at this Last Day, and making known to us the things He has already fulfilled, according to what He thought to do at this end time, at this Last Day.
He, in His Mind, thought to have His elect at the Last Day, who would be called and gathered with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
And where are those elect whom God thought before the foundation of the world to have at the Last Day, hearing the Great Voice of Trumpet and obtaining the knowledge of all these things, which must shortly come to pass, and thus being called and gathered at the Last Day? Well, here we are; here we are present in Latin America and the Caribbean. Here in Paraguay, in Asunción, there is a group gathered on this occasion.
And likewise, in all of Latin America and the Caribbean, we find that there are thousands of people that have been ordained by God, who have been in God’s thought before the foundation of the world to be present at this Last Day hearing the Voice of Jesus Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, that Great Voice of Trumpet calling us and gathering us and revealing to us all these things which must shortly come to pass.
Here we are, the ones who would be seeing, receiving, and hearing the Discerner of God’s thoughts: receiving, seeing, and hearing Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested through His Angel-Messenger at this Last Day, revealing to us God’s thoughts pertaining to this Last Day.
Jesus Christ is the Discerner of God’s thought at the Last Day, just as He was for other ages and other dispensations. Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is the Discerner of God’s Mind, of God’s thought.
He is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Elohim and Melchizedek. “Before Abraham was, I am,” said Jesus Christ. And: “Abraham desired to see My day; he saw it, and was glad,” Jesus Christ also said.8
Because He is before John the Baptist, He is before the Prophet Elijah, He is before the Prophet Moses, He is before Abraham, He is before Noah, He is before Enoch and He is before Adam too; and He is before all of Creation, because He is the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among human beings, according to Saint John chapter 1, verse 14; and that Word was with God and was God. “The same was in the beginning with God.”
It was the same God in His theophanic body, who created the whole universe. And then, He was made flesh among the Hebrew people, and we knew Him by the name of Jesus.
He is the Discerner of God’s thought, of God’s Mind; and from age to age He has been manifested in each angel-messenger, discerning God’s thought pertaining to each age and prophesying what God has thought of for the Last Day.
And now we are at the Last Day, we are at the most glorious time of all times, and in the territory where the Discerner of God’s thought would be at the Last Day; where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit would be manifested in His Angel-Messenger, discerning God’s thought and making known to us at this Last Day all these things which must shortly come to pass at this end time.
We are in the Latin American and Caribbean territory, which is the territory where the Discerner of God’s thought would be manifested in His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day.
We have reached the time, we are in the territory, we are also in the age: the Age of the Cornerstone, and we are also in the dispensation where the Discerner of God’s thought, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, would be manifested through His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day, making known to us God’s thought for this Last Day; and thus giving us the faith, the revelation, to be changed and raptured at this Last Day.
Because before the foundation of the world, God thought to carry out the resurrection of the dead in Christ at the Last Day and the transformation of us who are alive also at the Last Day, and then the rapture, to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, also at the Last Day.
And to send His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day too, and manifest Himself through His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day, and make known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, also at the Last Day.
“DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.” That is what Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit does at this Last Day through His Angel-Messenger.
We have seen this mystery, this secret, on this occasion.
And through the Word revealed to us by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, we can also have discernment of the things that God will be doing at this end time; because the Spirit of Jesus Christ is also in us, so that we can receive, believe, and understand all these things which must shortly come to pass, which Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is discerning through His Angel-Messenger. The Holy Spirit is discerning them from God’s Mind, from God’s thought.
We have reached the time of the discernment of God’s thought.
What is easier to discern: the thought of a human being or the thought of God? And if we saw the Holy Spirit manifested in the prophets of the Old Testament and the New Testament discerning the thoughts of people’s hearts, how will it be discerning the thought of God’s Mind! That is greater! Because God says: “My thoughts are not your thoughts; as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are My thoughts higher than your thoughts.” So, to discern God’s thought is to discern things that are higher than human thoughts.
Discerning God’s thought at the Last Day is seeing what God thought of the Last Day and what God will be doing at this Last Day: the entire Divine Program pertaining to the Dispensation of the Kingdom. All of that is in God’s thought, which He thought of before the foundation of the world; and at this Last Day, He is gradually fulfilling it.
Through that discernment of the Holy Spirit, discerning God’s Mind, God’s thought, we obtain the knowledge of what is in the Mind and heart of God for this Last Day, for His people, for His Church, and for the Hebrew people and for this mankind.
“DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.”
It has been a great privilege to be with you, testifying to you about the discernment of God’s thought at the Last Day.
And just as many people saw the Holy Spirit discerning people’s thoughts through His manifestation in messengers, in prophets, now we have been given to see the Holy Spirit discerning God’s thought, discerning God’s thought through His Angel-Messenger; in other words, the Holy Spirit in His Angel-Messenger discerning God’s thought, what God has thought of for this Last Day.
And just as no one knows the things of a man except the spirit of a man, of a human being, likewise, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
And now, the Spirit of God at this Last Day, which is the One that knows the things of God, would be in His Angel-Messenger discerning the thoughts of God, everything God thought of for this Last Day, for this end time, and making known to us all those things that God thought of for this end time.
And notice, out of what God thought of for this end time, Latin America and the Caribbean have been given the best part; all of us have been given the best part of what God thought of for the Last Day; and then it’s the Hebrew people.
We have been given to see Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, discerning. But right now it’s not (in this stage), for now it’s not discerning people’s thoughts but God’s thought, which is millions of times greater than discerning the thoughts of people’s hearts.
Now, we are at the greatest and most glorious time of all times.
Notice, just as He was able to discern the thoughts of human beings’ hearts, he is now in the stage of discerning God’s thought.
“DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.” That is what Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit does through His Angel-Messenger at this Last Day; and we are all witnesses of that discernment.
We are witnesses of the discernment of the Holy Spirit, discerning the thought of God at this Last Day and of the things pertaining to the Last Day.
And He won’t miss a thing—of what God has thought—for this Last Day, because He is in His last manifestation at the Last Day through His Angel-Messenger; Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is discerning God’s thought at the Last Day, meaning, in the seventh millennium, which we are in if we add to the calendar the years it is behind.
It has been a great privilege to be with you, testifying to you about “THE DISCERNMENT OF GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY,” testifying to you about Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY. We have seen the order for that discernment.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you. May every blessing that God thought of for His children, for this Last Day, be upon each one of you and also upon me, and may they be materialized in each one of you and also in me. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
I will be with you again in the next service, which will be at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon, (the broadcast?) We will be broadcasting at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon for all our friends listening on the radio; and for the television viewers we will also be broadcasting the next service during the evening; this one right now will also be broadcasted by cable TV, this service will also be broadcasted.
(At what time will it be broadcasted today, this service we’ve just had?) In a few… As long as it takes to get from here to cable TV, that will be how long we need to begin the broadcast of this morning’s conference, titled: “DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.”
And in the afternoon, at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon, I will be with you again, to speak to you on the subject “OPENING THE UNDERSTANDING WITH THE SCRIPTURES,” or with the Scripture. That will be the subject, our subject for this afternoon: “OPENING THE UNDERSTANDING WITH THE SCRIPTURES,” or with the Scripture.
We will see how the understanding of every human being is opened with the Scripture, and thus, we will be able to understand God’s mysteries pertaining to this end time.
This morning we had the subject: “DISCERNING GOD’S THOUGHT AT THE LAST DAY.”
May God bless you, may God keep you.
I will leave Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín with us to give you the phone numbers and addresses you can contact to request literature completely free of charge and also to attend services like this, where you will be watching and listening to conferences similar to this one, which have already been recorded.
