Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present there in Puerto Rico today, Sunday, January 31, 2016, and all ministers and congregations in different countries.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and may He open the Scriptures to us and our understanding in order to comprehend the Scriptures. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Revelation chapter 7 says the following about the Angel who comes with the Seal of the Living God to call, gather, and seal one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews (twelve thousand from each tribe). Revelation chapter 7, verse 1 and on, says the following:
“And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to comprehend It.
“THE ANGEL SEALING THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.” That is our subject for the Bible study of this morning, Sunday, January 31, 2016.
This Angel who comes sealing—calling, gathering together and sealing, one hundred and forty four thousand Hebrews (twelve thousand from each tribe), is the Angel of the Covenant. He is the Holy Spirit, Christ in His last manifestation, the manifestation of the Son of Man, to call and gather together one hundred and forty-four thousand elect of God from among the Hebrew people, after He has called and gathered the elect of His Church from among the Gentiles. In other words, the two peoples will be interlaced. And the Word, the Message of God and the Message of the Kingdom, will be taken to Israel, preached to the Jews, and with that Message, one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews, or Jews, will be called and gathered (twelve thousand from each tribe).
Therefore, there will be an interlacing among the Church. That is where the Two Olive Trees will be first, in the stage of the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the Message will emerge from there. When they see the Lord in His Coming to His Church, they will hold on to the Angel of the Covenant just as Jacob did in chapter 32, verses 24 to 32 of Genesis, when he held on to the Angel who appeared to him. And the Angel said to him: “Let me go, for the day breaketh and I have to go.” And Jacob told him: “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”
And there he wrestled with the Angel. And the Angel asked him: “What is thy name?” (After wounding his hip.) And Jacob answered: “Jacob,” when he was asked for his name. The Angel said to him: “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” He changed his name from Jacob, which means “deceiver”, to Israel, which means “Prince with God.” And after blessing him, the Angel left him.
Since Jacob received such a great blessing, we find that in Genesis chapter 32… Jacob also wanted to know the Name of the Angel with whom he wrestled.
Verse 27 of this same chapter 32 of Genesis says:
“And when he saw that he prevailed not against him…”
From verse 24, so that you have a clear picture:
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.”
This experience Jacob had with the Angel of God, the Angel of the Covenant, the same Angel that appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who appeared to Jacob in Genesis chapter 28 at the highest part of the ladder that Jacob saw in a dream… on which angels of God ascended and descended, and at the top of it was God, who said to him: “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac.” And he said to Him: “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”
Let’s read it so that we have a clear picture, and then we will read… Genesis chapter 28. It was in Bethel where he saw the Angel. Chapter 28, verse 10 and on, says:
“And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:
And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.”
That was Jacob’s experience when he was in Bethel.
There, we see that ladder on which angels descended…. angels of God were ascending and descending. And Christ made reference to this in Saint John chapter 1, verse 51, when He is speaking with Nathaniel:
“And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
That ladder with those angels ascending and descending is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where the messengers of the different Church stages ascend and descend with the group of believers in Christ. That is why it is the House of God, and the Church is the House of God under the New Covenant, as Saint Paul said to Timothy in First Timothy chapter 3, verse 15, where it says:
“…But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”
In other words, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ under the New Covenant, the House of God, the Temple of God; and it is from there that the messengers of the different ages ascend and descend, even the apostles, even the believers ascend to that ladder, from age to age. And at the top, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, the Lord will be there in His Second Coming for the manifestation of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. And the Angels are Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Two Olive Trees of Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 11 to 14; and Revelation, chapter 11, verses 1 to 14.
All of that pertains to the highest age, at the top of the ladder that Jacob saw in his dream. God’s presence will be there, that is where God will be manifested in all His fullness, and from there, He will speak to Jacob, to Israel, in this end time, to call and gather one hundred and forty- four thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand from each tribe.
Therefore, this is the time pertaining to the top part of the ladder that Jacob saw. That is why God said to Jacob in another passage, He told him: “I am the God of Bethel.” Because Bethel is the House of God, in other words, it means “House of God”. And that is why it is reflected there in what the Church of Lord Jesus Christ will be as the House of God.
And now, we know that we are at the end time, where all these experiences that Jacob had will materialize in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let’s see what it says here, in the same chapter… chapter 28 verse 12 to 13, [of Genesis] says:
“And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;”
After this experience, Jacob said… he was frightened. Verse 17… 16 and 17, says:
“And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.”
In other words, when Jacob, Israel, awakens from the dream, they will realize that God has been in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And they will know this because they will see God manifested in the Coming of the Son of Man, in the stage of the Cornerstone, from which He will speak to Jacob, because that was the place from which He spoke to him in that dream he had of the ladder in Genesis chapter 28. And they will realize that God has been in His Church. And it is at the Age of the Cornerstone when Jacob will hear the Voice of God speaking and identifying Himself as the God of Israel.
And Jacob will say… and Jacob said:
“Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.”
Because approximately two thousand years have passed and they haven’t known that God, the God of Israel, is in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ:
“And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
The House of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, through which and in which God places His children, He connects them to Heaven through Christ. That is where the sons and daughters of God are born, through the new birth given by the Holy Spirit. That is the House of God and Gate to Heaven, which God’s angels pass through, and through which they enter to go to Heaven. That’s the connection to Heaven: the House of God where God is manifested in Holy Spirit.
In chapter 3 of First Corinthians, verses 16 to 17 it says:
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
Saint Paul identifies God’s Temple under the New Covenant as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We also find him identifying the Church in Ephesians chapter 2, verse 19 and on, until verse 22:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Just as God is building a Temple, a spiritual Temple, which is His Church, He is also building every believer in Christ as an individual, as a human temple, as a spiritual temple, as a temple of God in which the Spirit of God dwells.
We also have in Hebrews chapter 3 another big indicator in the Bible of what the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is for God. Hebrews Chapter 3, verses 5 to 6, says:
“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”
This means, that the House of God, the Family of God, is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; they are descendants of God. That is why they receive the Spirit of God, which is what God… it was promised in order to produce the new birth in the believers. As He said to Nicodemus: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus did not understand and he thought it meant to literally be born again. And Christ tells him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water,” in other words, of the Gospel, “and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” He cannot enter into the Kingdom of God to be part of the Kingdom of God, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in which the Kingdom is found in the spiritual realm.
And in Philippians chapter 3, verses 20 to 21 tells us:
“For our conversation is in heaven…” [Spanish version reads: For our citizenship is in Heaven.]
All the born again believers in Christ form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and since the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is heavenly, they have the heavenly citizenship. Their citizenship is from the Kingdom of God, they are citizens of the Kingdom of God, and therefore, they have the promises and blessings of the Kingdom of God.
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
And now, these are God’s angels, His messengers, God’s angel-messengers with the group of each stage of the Church ascending to Heaven on that ladder. In other words, they are the ones who receive Christ, are born again, and become part of the group that ascends on that ladder, they become part of that ladder. And at that end of the ladder, at the top of the ladder, at the peak of the ladder, that’s where Jacob saw God, when he looked up, at the top.
That is where they will see the Second Coming of Christ, that is where they will see the Coming of the Messiah with His Angels: Moses and Elijah; because that is the stage of the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple of Christ of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is Bethel, the House of God of the New Covenant, the House of God of the New Testament, formed by believers in Christ.
Christ has been manifesting Himself in His Church in Holy Spirit, manifesting Himself from age to age through the messenger of each age. But when we reach the Age of the Cornerstone, we have reached the Messianic Age, and therefore, that is where Israel will see the Messiah the Prince, and speak to them from that Age of Cornerstone.
That is the stage for God’s manifestation in all His fullness among those who will be in the Age of the Cornerstone. That’s when the fulfillment of the Coming of the Stone not cut by hands will take place, which will smite the feet part of iron and part of clay of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar saw. The image represents the Gentile kingdom, which has passed from stage to stage: it went from the stage or Babylonian empire or kingdom lead by King Nebuchadnezzar with the head of gold; it went on to the breast and arms of silver, which represents the Medo-Persian empire; on the third occasion, it went on to the Greek empire, represented in the belly and thighs of bronze; and from the Greek empire with Alexander the Great, which was the belly and thighs of bronze, it went on to the Roman Empire in the stage of the legs of iron: the empire or kingdom of the Caesars, the Roman empire. And we find that under that Roman Empire… the Roman Empire crucified Jesus Christ in Jerusalem.
And then, further on it passed on to the feet part of iron and part of clay, which is what is left of the Roman Empire, the feet of iron with its toes part of iron and part of clay, too. And iron and clay is what’s left of the Gentile kingdom. That is why the Second Coming of Christ will put an end to the Gentile kingdom.
The Stone not cut by hands is the Coming of Christ to His Church at the Last Day, to the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone, at the top, or the summit, of the ladder that Jacob saw in his dream. From there, God will speak to the Hebrew people as well, under the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah, of Zechariah chapter 4, verses 11 to 14; and Revelation chapter 11, verses 1 to 14. God’s manifestation at the Last Day will be from there.
When Israel sees the Messiah coming to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, they will say: “This is the One we were waiting for.” But in His Second Coming He comes to His Church first, to give them the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. All of this takes place in the ladder that Jacob saw, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is none other than the House of God and Gate to Heaven.
Then, He will reveal Himself to the Jews from that Age of the Cornerstone, like the Cornerstone not cut by hands, which Prophet Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar saw in chapter 2, verses 30 to 43.
Therefore, since we are already outside of the Seven Church Ages, being in the stage of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple (which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, represented in the ladder that Jacob saw), we know that the Gentile kingdom will be destroyed gradually.
The Gentile kingdom is deteriorating in all nations. Something is happening in God’s Program. Something major, which King Nebuchadnezzar and Prophet Daniel saw. Nebuchadnezzar saw the beginning and end of the Gentle kingdom; Daniel saw it too and he interpreted the dream to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel also had visions, in chapter 7 in the Book of Daniel, where he also saw the empires that form the image he saw, the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar saw, and he explained that during the time of these kings, God would raise a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. That will be the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Kingdom that will remain forever.
And that Kingdom will have Jerusalem as its capital, and it’s Throne: the Throne of David, and its Kingdom: the Kingdom of David, and its King: the Son of David. Let’s see here, in Daniel chapter 7… chapter 7 of Daniel, verses 9 and on, says:
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.”
These are the stages of the Gentile kingdom that come to an end at the feet part of iron and part of clay.
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man, came with the clouds of heaven...”
That is the Coming of the Son of Man, of Saint Matthew chapter 24, verse 27 and on:
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
“…I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man, came with the clouds of heaven…”
Remember that “Son of Man” always refers to a prophet. God is always manifested in a prophet.
“…And came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
In other words, at the end time, when the Gentile kingdom ends in the feet part of iron and part of clay, once it’s destroyed, God’s Kingdom will begin, the glorious Millennial Kingdom will begin, and the Throne will be in Jerusalem, and the Kingdom will be David’s Kingdom, and the King will be the Son of David.
Therefore, that is the blessing that is coming to the Jews at this end time; and for this, they must see and hear the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob manifested at the summit of the mountain, at the top of the House of God, in the top part of the ladder, which is the Age of the Cornerstone at the Last Day, where God will manifest Himself in all His fullness. And He will operate the ministries of Moses and Elijah in this end time to call and gather one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews (twelve thousand from each tribe).
That’s what God will do at this end time through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. And that’s when Israel will see the Coming of the Messiah, the Coming of the Lord to bless Israel, and to give faith to the believers in Christ, the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And all this will be done by the Angel who will be sealing the tribes of Israel, the twelve tribes of Israel. That is done by the Angel of the Covenant who appeared to Moses, and through Moses He commanded the deliverance of the Hebrew people. He used Moses, manifested Himself in Moses, and veiled Himself in Moses, and He delivered the Hebrew people from bondage.
In chapter 3, when Moses had an encounter with the Angel of the Covenant, Moses wanted to know something about God and His Name. Exodus chapter 3, verse 13 and on, says:
“And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
And in chapter 6, it also says… God spoke to Moses and said to him:
“…Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.”
And in Exodus chapter 23, verse 20 and on, it says:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”
Those are blessings for Israel when they act according to what God tells them and follow the Angel of the Covenant, who is God in His heavenly Body, at times manifested as the Pillar of Fire, and on other occasions, appearing as a man from another dimension, an angel from another dimension.
For instance, we have the case of Joshua. In Joshua’s case, notice how the Angel of the Covenant appeared to him in chapter 5, verses 13 to 15:
“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
And the captain of the Lord‘s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.”
Here, the Angel of the Covenant appears to him as the Captain of the Host of the Lord of Hosts, the Angel of the Covenant appeared to him as the Captain of the Lord’s hosts. He had also appeared to Moses on another occasion: showing him His back; and Moses saw His back as the back of a man, when God in the Angel of the Covenant passed by.
Remember that the Angel of the Covenant is the heavenly Body of God. It is the image of the living God, it is the theophany of God; just as every human being has his theophany, in others words his spiritual body.
The spirit of an individual is a body but from another dimension; likewise, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit is a heavenly Body from another dimension, it can appear in the form of light or it can appear in the form of an Angel: a man from another dimension.
He is none other than the Angel of the Covenant, the Captain of the heavenly Hosts through whom God created all things, it is the Word which was with God and is God; and it is the Word which became flesh in the person of Jesus in His First Coming. He is Jesus, the bearer of the Angel of the Covenant incarnate, the Word made flesh that created a body in Mary’s womb. When the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, It created the cell of life, which was multiplied cell upon cell, and thus that was how the body of Jesus was formed, who was born through the Virgin Mary.
He is the Heir to the Throne (the Heir to David’s Throne), and the Heir to the entire territory of Israel. He is none other than the Messiah the Prince in His First Coming, and in His Second Coming He will come to establish His Kingdom.
We will find Him at the top of the Ladder in the Age of the Cornerstone at the Last Day. The full ministry of the Angel of the Covenant will be there, the Angel who will call, gather, and seal one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews; but first, He will complete His Church in this end time wherein He will manifest Himself.
He will manifest Himself in His Coming as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work. He will come with David’s Key to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth among the Jews. The Jewish Territory will be the Federal District of the Kingdom of the Messiah. Jerusalem will be the capital of not only of Israel, but the entire world; and all of Israel, the entire land of Israel, will be the federal district of the world Kingdom of the Messiah. There is the great blessing for the Jews; that is when the Jews will receive everlasting peace, the peace that the Messiah will bring according to Isaiah chapter 9.
In order for peace to come, the Prince of Peace must come to the Hebrews: the Messiah the Prince; without Him, Israel will not have everlasting peace.
Therefore, the only hope Israel has is the Coming of the Messiah. There is no other hope for Israel. Therefore, first they will see Elijah coming, proclaiming the everlasting peace, preparing the people for the Coming of the Messiah, and we will recognize Elijah because He will come proclaiming everlasting peace for Israel, and the ministry of Moses will also come.
Therefore, there will be a prophet like Elijah and a prophet like Moses; then, we will see the Messiah in His Coming. All of that is the mystery for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the Hebrew people at the end time. Because both people are awaiting the Coming of the Messiah, they are awaiting the coming of Moses and the coming of Elijah; therefore, we are at the end time.
For the believers in Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messianic Era began some time ago. At the end of the seven ages, the Messianic Era begins for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Era of the Age of the Cornerstone.
For the Jews, that Messianic Era will begin when they see Him, when they see Him in the Messianic Era in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And for the Jews, there will be a ministry of three and a half years of the Holy Spirit operating the ministries of the Two Olive Trees (the ministries of Moses and Elijah). And there will be a Divine intervention of Archangels Gabriel and Michael with their Hosts in favor of the Hebrew people. That is where the defense of the Jews is, that is where the blessing is for the Jews and for the believers in Christ.
Israel is awaiting the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant. The Coming of the Angel of the Covenant is none other than the Coming of the Angel of God, meaning, of the Holy Spirit, which is the image of the Living God manifested at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, and from there, He will pass onto the Hebrews. And for this, the Holy Spirit will be operating in the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
Remember that the Holy Spirit is the One who operates the ministries. This is shown… In order to speak to Israel, the Holy Spirit has always operated the ministries pertaining to each prophet.
In Zechariah chapter 7, it shows us a clear picture as to how God works through His Spirit by the prophets. Let’s read chapter 7, verse 11 and on of Zechariah, where it 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.”
God spoke to the people through His Spirit by the prophets. God was the one speaking through His Spirit in the prophets. In other words, God through His Theophany, God through His Image—which is His heavenly Body—would speak to the people through the prophets.
Whoever did not want to hear what each prophet of God spoke to the people, did not want to hear what the Holy Spirit was speaking on behalf of God. But the blessing is for those who hear the Voice of God through the Angel of God, the Angel of the Covenant.
That is the Angel who, at this end time, will come sealing the twelve tribes of Israel. He will come sealing one hundred and forty four thousand with the seal of the Living God, which is the Holy Spirit. He will come with the Holy Spirit sealing one hundred and forty four thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand from each tribe.
That is the blessing appointed for the Hebrew people in this end time. And then the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of David will be established, introduced. And then, further on, God’s Kingdom will be established on Earth, which will be the restoration of David’s Kingdom and David’s Throne. Because David was promised that there shall never fail to be someone to sit on the Throne of David.
Therefore, the Messiah the Prince as Son of David is the King of Israel. He is the King promised to sit on David’s Throne at the Last Day, at the top part of the ladder that Jacob saw in Genesis chapter 28.
Therefore, Israel, the Jews, will see the Coming of the Son of Man, the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant coming to His Church, and they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.”
The question is: “Why there?” Because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the House of God and Gate to Heaven, and with the death of Christ, the seventieth week (which is the Messianic week), stopped for the Jews, and the Gentiles entered, Christianity entered.
And once the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the group of sons and daughters of God is completed, then comes the transformation of all the believers in Christ who will be alive, and those who died will be resurrected in glorified bodies; and they will all be young, they will be people with eternal physical life in glorified bodies.
And at that time, Israel will open its eyes, their eyes will be opened and Israel will be restored. And the Kingdom of God will be restored to Israel, David’s Kingdom restored; and the promised King, the Messiah the Prince, will sit on the Throne of David at the Last Day, to govern, to reign over Israel and over all nations.
It will be the time of glory for Israel, the time in which Israel will have the blessing of having the greatest world ruler in history: the Messiah the Prince, the Son of David, who was typified in Solomon and in David.
Therefore, Israel will become the capital of the world, and have its White House in Jerusalem, as we refer to the congresses of almost all countries nowadays… they call their congress “the White House”, the place where the president is. Or, I correct, in many countries they call the place where the president is “the White House.” Other countries have other names for it, but the majority of them call it the White House, as it is called in North America and perhaps in other countries. Each country calls it as they wish.
Someday, we hope to know the name of the place where the King will be, the name of the Palace of the King of the Millennial Kingdom, of the Kingdom of the Messiah. We know that the Capital will be Jerusalem, and the Federal District will be the entire territory of Israel, the one it currently has and the one it will have later on, because it will be extended, because according to the map God gave, the territory is bigger than what it is currently. Many nations will be united to that Kingdom; other nations will disappear.
Therefore, Israel will be the richest nation on the planet Earth (the Kingdom of the Messiah), and it will be privileged to have the capital of the Kingdom and the Federal District of the Kingdom as well.
What is the most important thing for a territory? The capital, because the White House or the presidential house or the residence of the king is there. And the King will govern from there; the Palace will be there, the Throne will be there. And all the countries, all the nations will bring their honor and glory to Jerusalem, their contributions.
How much will it be? 10 % or 20 %? Let’s wait until that time, because they will also pay their tithes and their offerings and taxes, too. And whoever doesn’t do so, it says that it will not rain upon that country, upon that nation. That’s in Zechariah chapter 14.
Therefore, the Messianic Era is coming to Israel very soon.
When Israel sees and receives the Messiah, the Messianic Era will begin there. The three and a half years will begin there, which will be of blessing for Israel, but for the world it will mean the divine judgments falling upon the human race. It will be the Day of Vengeance of our God, and it will be the time of Jacob’s squeeze, because they will try to destroy Jacob, but God will be with Israel.
Now, the most important thing to know is that the Angel of Revelation 7 is the Holy Spirit manifested at the Last Day to seal one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews; to seal them with the Seal of the Living God, with the Holy Spirit. And they will spread to all nations the Message of the Angel of the Covenant (the Angel who comes sealing).
It has been a great privilege to be with you, friends and brethren present, and those who are in other nations.
If someone has not yet received Christ as Savior, you may do so at this time so that and we will be praying for you so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, forgives you and with His Blood He cleanses you from all sin and baptizes you with the Holy Spirit and fire and brings forth the new birth in you.
Therefore, you may come to the front, wherever you may be, in the Church or auditorium where you may be, you may come to the front to be included in the prayer we will make.
Those of you in Puerto Rico, in Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, México, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala, North America, Costa Rica, and the rest of the nations may continue to come to the Feet of Christ so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, and soon completes His Church and turns to the Jews.
With our heads bowed, let us all stand to make a prayer for everyone who is coming to Feet of Christ our Savior.
Children ten years of age and older can also come to the Feet of Christ so that Christ receives them in His Kingdom.
Let us pray: Heavenly Father who art in Heaven, I come to You with all these people who are receiving Christ as Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom. I pray to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, everyone 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, and Lord, I whole-heartedly believe in Your Name as the only name whereby we must be saved. I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of the Atonement for our sins.
I recognize that I am a sinner and that I need a Savior. I give public testimony of my faith in You, and of Your faith in me, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior.
I pray You forgive my sins and with Your Blood may You cleanse me from all sin, and may You baptize me with the Holy Spirit and fire and bring forth the new birth in me.
I want to be born again. I want to enter in Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally with You in Your Kingdom. Make a reality in me the salvation You purchased for me on Calvary’s Cross. I pray to You in Your Name, in Your glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
And now, those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion may ask: “When can you baptize me?”
Since you have believed in Christ with all your heart, you may indeed be baptized; and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire, and bring forth the new birth in you.
Water baptism does not take sins away; the Blood of Christ is what cleanses us from all sin. When an individual receives Christ as Savior he dies to the world, when the minister immerses him in the baptismal waters, he is typologically being buried, and when he is lifted from the baptismal waters he is resurrecting to a new life: to eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.
Therefore, you may be baptized and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire, and bring forth the new birth in you. We will continue seeing each other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior.
From here, from Jerusalem, I greet everyone. May God bless all of you greatly and may the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ be completed soon so that the Holy Spirit may turn to the Jews, who are so in need of Him, to receive the appointed blessing and the call of the one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand from each tribe, which are the firstfruits of the Hebrew people, the elect from among the Hebrew people, for a special blessing that God has for them.
Continue having a happy evening filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
