Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present, and to those who are in other nations. May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me too. And may He open the Scriptures to us, and speak directly to our souls, and may He open our understanding in order to comprehend. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His program relevant to this end time.
For which we look to Ephesians chapter 1, verses 3 and on, where it tells us:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”
We take verse 10, which tells us: “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth.” From which we take our subject:
“THE DISPENSATION OF THE FULLNESS OF TIMES.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand it.
It speaks to us here about the dispensation of fullness of times, for which we need to understand that there are different dispensations of God, in which God deals with the human being according to the program He has for the human race at that time.
There are seven dispensations, just like there are also seven dimensions; there are also seven covenants. You will find the repetition of the number seven throughout the entire Scripture. For example, we have seven weeks and also seven weeks of years, and so on.
Out of the seven dispensations we have the first one: Innocence, in the days of Adam and Eve, and Adam was the dispensational messenger for that time, and he had God’s Word for that time, which he taught to Eve, his helpmeet. Then, after the fall of the human being, came the second dispensation: the Dispensation of Consciousness, and we can call Seth the messenger of that dispensation. We also have the third dispensation: the Dispensation of Human Government, of which Noah was the dispensational messenger. Then we have the fourth dispensation: the Dispensation of Promise, of which Abraham was its dispensational messenger. Then we have the fifth dispensation, of which Moses was its dispensational messenger. Then we have the sixth dispensation: the Dispensation of Grace, of which Jesus is the dispensational messenger. And then we are left with the seventh dispensation: the Dispensation of the Kingdom, of which the Prince Messiah, the One who will take over the Kingdom of David and the Throne of David, and will rule over Israel and over all nations, He will be messenger of that dispensation.
And that seventh dispensation is this dispensation of which Saint Paul speaks to us when he says: “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth.”
It is in that seventh dispensation that the Prince Messiah will establish His Kingdom here on Earth, and His Kingdom will be a theocratic one. Theocracy will rule the Earth again, just like it did in the time of Moses and the time of the Judges. It was the theocracy, God ruling and governing through Moses, through Joshua, through the judges, the different judges, the last of whom was Samuel.
Then the stage of the kings began, with a monarchy, beginning with Saul and followed by King David, and so on. Theocracy, which the Prince Messiah also has the promise of in Saint Luke chapter 1, verses 26 to 36, saying that He will take, He will receive the Throne of David and the Kingdom of David, and will He sit upon the Throne of David and will rule over Israel forever.
It’s because that promise was also spoken beforehand in Isaiah chapter 11, verse 1 and on, where it says:
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:”
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. That branch that will grow out of its roots is the Messiah; that rod out of the stem of Jesse is the Messiah.
“And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him (in other words, the Holy Spirit, He will have the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him, in order to rule through Him); the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord<em>;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and strike the earth with the rod of his mouth (In other words, with the Word, which is the sword of the spirit, the two-edged sword, and which is also represented in the fire that comes out of the mouth of the Two Anointed Ones), and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked (starting with the Antichrist).”
Second Thessalonians tells us that the brightness of His Coming will kill the antichrist, the man of sin.
And the same will happen to all the unbelievers, because it says: “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up (in other words, will burn them), saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with (health) healing in his wings.” (Malachi, chapter 4, verse 1 and on).
That is same chapter where He tells us:
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
Before the great tribulation, before smiting the Earth with a curse, with the divine judgments, Elijah is sent with a purpose, because through that ministry the children are turned to their fathers.
For Christianity, Elijah in his fourth manifestation forerunning the Second Coming of Christ was already fulfilled: it was Reverend William Marrion Branham.
Like in the days of Jesus, the Elijah that God would send was a man of those days, with the spirit and power of Elijah: The Holy Spirit operating the ministry of Elijah in John the Baptist.
But it was promised, according to the Words of Jesus in Saint Matthew chapter 17, verses 10 to 13, that Elijah will come and restore all things. In other words, the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time will be operated again by the Holy Spirit through a man, in order to restore Israel.
Israel, the Hebrew people, is waiting for Elijah proclaiming the everlasting peace, the peace that the Prince Messiah will bring to Israel in His Messianic Kingdom.
“And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” [Isaiah 11:5.]
That is in the Millennial Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Messiah, in that Millennial Day which pertains to the dispensation of the fullness of times. And the beginning of that seventh dispensation will start to be introduced (that new seventh dispensation) being the believers in Christ here on Earth without being changed yet.
“And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.”
Lions will no longer eat people or other animals; they will be like cattle, like horses, like cows or oxen that eat hay or grass.
“And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.”
And what will happen? It will not harm him; they will play with all those beasts and also with reptiles, which were dangerous and harmful at first, but in the Kingdom of the Messiah it will not be that way.
“They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain (See? They will not be harmful): for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
And in Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 14, says:
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
In other words an education, a teaching from God will reach all mankind, wherein mankind will be filled with the knowledge of the true God, Creator of Heavens and Earth, and therefore, religious conflicts will end, because everyone will know the true and only God, Creator of Heavens and Earth.
There will no longer be many religions, there will only be the knowledge of the true God, and how to serve the true God, and that is how the spiritual part of the Kingdom of the Messiah will be.
Verse 10 [of Isaiah 11]: “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”
The outcasts of Israel are those belonging to the ten tribes of the north, and the dispersed of Judah are of the tribes of the South, the two tribes of the South. In other words, the twelve tribes of Israel will be united again, and that will be in the Kingdom of the Messiah.
That is the same thing it tells us about in Ezekiel chapter 37, verses 15 to 29, where God tells the prophet Ezekiel to take two sticks, and each of them… and to write on one stick: “The stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel” and on the other: “For Judah, and for the children of Israel” and to join both sticks together.
Those two sticks represent the stick of Israel for Ephraim or with Ephraim, they represent the ten tribes of the North that were given to Jeroboam when the kingdom of David was torn apart in the time of Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, because Solomon had departed from God and had permitted idolatry in Israel, and had built pagan temples to his Gentile wives.
That has been the greatest sin of Israel, and idolatry has always been the greatest sin that Israel has committed, which it has paid for with serious consequences.
It is in the Kingdom of the Messiah that the two sticks that represent the two kingdoms–the kingdom of the north with ten tribes, and the kingdom of the south with two tribes–will be joined together as one stick in the hand of the prophet. This represents that in the hand of God they will become one Kingdom once again, as it was in the days of David and Solomon. In that Kingdom, Israel will have the peace it yearns for so much, and for which it has struggled so much.
The prophet Elijah in his fifth manifestation will be the one through whom God will deal with Israel, and who will be the sign for Israel that the Coming of the Messiah is at hand and that the Kingdom of the Messiah is about to be established on Earth among the Hebrew people.
Elijah will also come along with the ministry of Moses, because both of them are promised: Moses and Elijah. They are the Two Olives Trees of Zechariah chapter 4, verses 11 to 14, which are the Two Anointed Ones who stand before the presence of God, and also appear in Revelation, chapter 11, verses 1 to 14.
Those are the ministries pertaining to the Day of the Lord, the ministries pertaining to the dispensation of the fullness of times, the seventh dispensation, in which the Kingdom of the Messiah will be established, because that is the dispensation that has the promise of the coming of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, to be established with Israel and rule over all the nations.
That Kingdom will be a theocratic one, because God will be ruling through the Messiah, in whom God will be ruling, reigning; and that is the Kingdom of which Christ said: “I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of my Father,” in the Kingdom of God, or the regeneration. [Saint Mark 14:25.]
That is the Kingdom in which His apostles will be sitting on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Judas lost the blessing of that throne, but the throne is occupied by another person, another apostle of God. Some think that it is Matthias, others think it is Saint Paul, but don’t worry, whoever is supposed to be sitting there, will be there. The Apostles have that blessing.
Now, the messengers of each stage of the Church will also be in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. They will also sit on thrones, because they are kings, and that is the political, religious, and judicial team of the Messiah in His Kingdom.
The Scripture says that Christ has cleansed us of all sin with His Blood; He has washed us of all sin with His Blood. And let us see what the following says about this subject. Revelation chapter 1, verse 5 to 6:
“…And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Christ has cleansed us of our sins with His Blood, and has made us kings and priests unto God.
Saint Paul also says that the saints will judge the world (First Corinthians chapter 6, verses 1 to 3), and it says that even the angels will be judged by the Saints, the believers in Christ, because the judicial power belongs to Christ as the Supreme Judge, and the Cabinet of that Judicial Power belongs to the born again believers in Christ, which are the ones who form the Mystical Body of Christ, in other words, His Church, and they are the ones who will be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the rapture or catching away of the Church.
We continue seeing here… In chapter 5 of Revelation also speaks to us about this huge blessing, it says… Chapter 5, verse 8 and on of Revelation:
“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down…”
Remember, the twenty four elders are the twelve patriarchs, sons of Jacob, and the twelve apostles of the Lord. Judas Iscariot is excluded, but another was appointed in his place.
“And when he had taken the book,” (this is the book sealed with seven seals that Christ takes in heaven, in chapter 5, and He opens it in chapter 6 and the rest of the relevant chapters), “the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints;” In other words, the prayers of Christ’s believers, which are the saints of God, the saints which are redeemed with the Blood of Christ.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (those are the believers in Christ)
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Do you remember the parable of the pounds that the Lord gave different people to work on while He was absent, which He would ask them about upon His return? They all worked, except for the person who received one pound, who is the same as the one who received one talent in the parable of the talents, he didn’t work, and the one who received one pound in the parable of the pounds didn’t work either.
Remember that God doesn’t want idle people in His Kingdom. Idle people in the Kingdom of God, in His Church, who don’t work in the Work of the Lord, will have the same fate as the one who received one talent and did nothing with it, and as the one who received one pound and did nothing, he did not work with that pound, did not work for the Kingdom of God. But those who worked were rewarded.
And we find that the Lord did not tell him: “Now, give me the pounds I gave you, and keep… and we can split the reward.” God didn’t take anything away. He left them the talents that He had given each of them, plus the talents they had gained in the parable of the talents.
The only one He took away from was the one who received one, because he did nothing. “From him shall be taken away even that he hath.” The talent that God gave him will be taken away along with everything else He has, because that person will not enter into God’s Kingdom; he has no part or share in the Kingdom of the Messiah.
And the ones with the pounds, notice, those who worked, He tells them: “You, rule over these pounds, and you, rule over these pounds; you won this many pounds, so rule over this many cities.” The ruler of a city is a mayor, the ruler of a state is a governor, and the ruler of a country is a president or king.
Notice, what Christ is doing is placing them in the position they will have in the Kingdom of the Messiah in the Dispensation of the Kingdom. They are being appointed in those positions beforehand.
The same thing happens with governments, in the political field: the person who wins, who is appointed president or governor, is not someone who shows up around there and is told: “Come up here so that we can put the sash of the president or governor on you.” It is someone who has already been chosen, and the people voted for him, but beforehand he was already appointed to the position of president.
And in this position of kings as rulers over cities, God is the one who chooses. Therefore, we must work to be confirmed in the position that pertains to us by election.
Idle people don’t have any part or share in the Kingdom of Christ. And an idle in politics, who runs for president, governor, or mayor, if he doesn’t work: doesn’t win. He has to be defending his party’s program and introducing it.
And in the Kingdom of Christ: he must be introducing the Program of the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Program of God’s Kingdom, beginning with the coming of the Messiah and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross, and all the other things that must be preached with the Gospel of Christ.
Christ says in Revelation 22, verse 12: “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give (to who?) every man according as his work shall be.” In other words, He will not reward a lazy person. The reward is for those who work.
It’s like someone who goes to work somewhere. If he works, he will be rewarded with the salary he was offered, but if he does nothing he is suspended. He doesn’t have the right to be rewarded because he doesn’t work. That’s how it is in God’s Kingdom.
Now, notice how, beforehand, God through Christ and other prophets and apostles tells us how it will be in the Kingdom of the Messiah. Revelation, chapter 20 also tell us about this Kingdom of the Messiah: Chapter 20, verses 4 to 6, and it says the following:
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: (those are the believers in Christ) and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
Notice, before the coming of the Millennium, many of those people have already given their lives, they are martyrs from the days of persecutions, when Christians were persecuted and killed. That is the first resurrection, together with the resurrection of the saints of the Old Testament when Christ resurrected with them, or when they resurrected with Christ, because Christ sought them in Paradise and brought them to resurrection.
“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.” In other words, the others who are dead will not be resurrected until 1000 years in the Kingdom of the Messiah are fulfilled.
When the Millennium ends, the resurrection comes for all those who did not resurrect in the first resurrection, because the first resurrection is unto eternal Life. The second resurrection is to go to the Judgment of the White Throne, where God will judge each one of them according to their works, according to what is written in the Book of Memories. And it says right here… This is in chapter 20, verse 11 and on [of Revelation]. It says:
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened…”
Some people don’t know or don’t think or believe that everything a human being does on Earth is recorded in the Book called… the Book that it tells us about here, which is the Book of Life, which is… and the books of the history of the person were opened.
“…and another book was opened, which is the book of life…”
Another book: the Book of Life was also opened. That’s where the names of millions of human beings that have lived on this planet Earth are written.
Some names were blotted out of that Book, because God also says that He will blot out the names of people. For example, the name of Judas Iscariot was in that Book, but it was blotted out.
The Book of Life has two sections: one is the Book… the section of the Book that has the name of all people who live on Earth, and the names that are there, belong to, for example, the foolish virgins (their names are written there), the names of Jews as well, and different people of different countries who would help God’s believers in the time in which they would live. Many people who would hear the Gospel too, and would be in Christianity and work and help out in the Work of God, but that are not the elect, the chosen ones, they are not the wise virgins, which are the ones that have oil in their lamps, in other words, the Holy Spirit, and therefore, they have been born again.
The foolish virgins don’t have the Holy Spirit, therefore they have not been born again, and that’s why they will go through the Great Tribulation. They are cast into outer darkness because they didn’t have oil, and when they went to look for oil, it doesn’t even say they got the oil, and when they returned, the Groom had already come, Christ (that is the second coming of Christ), and those who were prepared, the wise virgins, the born again believers in Christ which form the Mystical Body of Christ, entered into the Marriage with Him, and the door was shut.
Not one more or one less will enter the Mystical Body of Christ to form part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the door will be shut at the Last Day. It’s at the beginning of this seventh dispensation that the door will be shut, to enter into God’s House and form part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In case someone thinks that the door will never be shut, let’s ask Christ if it will be shut or not. It says that the Husband came, and those who were ready entered with Him to the Marriage, and the door was shut. He says it clearly there. It is always good to have two or three witness of what is said. In Saint Luke chapter 13, verse 22 and on it says:
“And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”
And remember that Christ is the door. He said: “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” Saint John Chapter 10, verse 9.
“When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door (and hath shut the door)…”
See? The door will be shut; the door to the Kingdom of God, the door to the House of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the door which is Christ. Because He will no longer be as a High Priest, but as a Judge, as a King, and as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, because the group of God’s chosen ones will already be completed (the group of God’s elect, the group of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ), which will be completed in this end time in the Golden Age, the age that pertains to the Last Day.
And Christ will come in His second coming with that group and to that group, and He will come with the dead believers in Christ who He will resurrect in glorified bodies, and when we see them, we will be changed. And the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be crowned with the coming of Christ and the transformation of everyone who will be alive at the Last Day, because that is the group to be crowned, because it is the group to which Christ will come at the Last Day, because the Second Coming of Christ did not take place in past ages, it is for this end time.
“When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say to you “I know you not.”
We can see there that the door to enter into God’s House, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore the entrance, the door to the entrance of God’s Kingdom: will be shut, and no one else will be able to enter into God’s Kingdom. The House of God will already have been filled for that great Feast of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.
It’s important to know these things, and to know that this is going to be fulfilled during this important time in which we were given to live, which corresponds to the dispensation of the fullness of times.
That is why it is important to take the Words of Christ, who said to lay up treasures, where? In Heaven. Notice, Christ will reward us for all the work we do in the Kingdom of Christ, because He said: “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” [Revelation 22:12.]
In this earthly Kingdom you are rewarded for the work you carry out at your job. If you work for the government, the government will reward you with a monthly salary and other health-related benefits (health insurance), and also retirement. But in the Kingdom of God, He will reward each one of us according to the work we will have carried out, and that reward will be forever.
We will not retire; we will continue working in the Kingdom of Christ. And just like Israel left Egypt wealthy, as God had promised Abraham in Genesis chapter 15, verses 12 to 19, that they would leave with great riches, notice, the believers in Christ will leave this Earth and will leave the kingdom of the Gentiles, at the end of the kingdom of the Gentiles and the beginning of the Kingdom of God, and they will have great riches in the Kingdom of Christ. That is where our treasure is.
In the kingdom of the Gentiles, some people say: “I’m saving up and storing…” (They are laying up a treasure.) And sometimes the currency is depreciated or devalued, and the treasure is decreased by half, and it continues decreasing in value and then you end up with one forth. And if the government is sued, everything that was saved up for retirement decreases in value as well, and then they offer you less for retirement, and so on. And other times, like it says: thieves mine in this kingdom, they can steal it as well. In other words, nothing is secure in the kingdom of the Gentiles, which is in the stage of the feet part of iron and part of clay.
That is where every person is secured with eternal Life and his treasure is safe in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior. As simple as that. And where our treasure is, what is there? Our heart. Our heart is in Christ and His Kingdom, and that’s where our treasure is.
Now, continuing… because I owe you part of the Scripture of Revelation, chapter 20 [verse 5]:
“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished,” that’s where we stopped and went on to other Scriptures. “This is the first resurrection.”
The resurrection in the dead in Christ is the first resurrection, along with the resurrection of the saints in the Old Testament that resurrected with Christ.
“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death…” (and the second death is the lake of fire) “…on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
That’s to begin: a thousand years, and then for all of eternity. That is what Christ has for me, and for whom else? For each one of you as well.
That is why we cannot ignore these things that are eternal, and that is why when we see that glorious moment approaching and we see that the end time signs are being seen in all the nations, Christ tells us that when we see the fig tree budding and those different signs, and the other trees, to lift up our sight, our heads… Where are we going to lift them towards? To Heaven, To Christ, to His Kingdom, to the Kingdom of God, because our redemption (in other words, our transformation) is near.
Our redemption is the redemption of the body. It will be redeemed from mortal to immortal, from being mortal to immortal; from a corruptible body to a glorified body. That is what He has promised me, and I’m waiting for it. And who else? Each one of you as well.
We have seen that the dispensation of the fullness of times is the seventh dispensation, and the seventh dispensation is the Dispensation of the Kingdom. The Dispensation of the Kingdom of the Messiah, wherein He will sit in His earthly Throne, and He will rule over 1,000 years, and then throughout eternity. And in eternity, God and His heavenly Kingdom will fully be on Earth.
And planet Earth is the most important planet out of all the planets, because it is the place where the Throne of the Father and the Throne of Christ, the earthly Throne and the heavenly Throne will be merged, they will be on Earth, and from there God will rule through Christ, not only over Earth but over the whole Universe. He will reign through the Prince Messiah. And the capital will be in Jerusalem, that’s where the New Jerusalem will be. And… we will talk about that on another occasion. The important thing is that you have secured your place in the Kingdom of God by receiving Christ as your only and sufficient Savior, so that afterwards you can enjoy all these blessings that we have spoken about on this occasion.
If someone has not yet received Christ as Savior you may do so at this time and we will be praying for you so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, forgives you and with His Blood cleanses you of all sin, you be baptized in water in His Name, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire, and produce in you the new birth. For which you can come to the front and we will praying for you.
And those who are in other nations can come to the Feet of Christ, wherever you may be, you may come to the front so that you are included in the prayer we will be doing.
And children ten years of age and older can also come to the Feet of Christ, come forward, so that Christ receives them in His Kingdom. Christ said: “Let the children come to me and not forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” [Saint Matthew 19:14.]
Life is the most important thing, and if this earthly life is so important how much more important is eternal Life! And a person receives both lives freely. You did not pay for the earthly life you have, it is an inheritance; we have inherited this earthly life from the first Adam and the first Eve. And eternal Life is also an inheritance, and we inherit it through Christ, who is the Heir of God, and we are joint-heirs with Him. Everything that Christ is heir to, we are also heirs to, because we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ our Lord. Romans, chapter 8, verse 14 to 39.
In other words, life, both the earthly, mortal life as well as eternal Life is an inheritance. We all want… just like we have inherited the earthly, mortal, and temporary life, we also want to inherit eternal Life.
If living in these bodies is so great, what will it be like to live in an eternal, immortal, young, and glorified body like the one Christ has? There are no words to express how wonderful it is, it will be, for all those who will inherit that great blessing of eternal Life in eternal and glorified bodies. They will be like kings, priests, and judges in the Kingdom of the Messiah. That’s where we will be eternally in the Millennium, and for all of eternity.
A person can only claim their eternal inheritance through an Advocate, just as we claim an inheritance in a court, where we use an attorney which is an intercessor, someone who knows the laws of inheritance, so that we can claim an earthly inheritance.
And in order to reclaim the spiritual inheritance of eternal Life, along with everything that inheritance encompasses, we need the best attorney, and there is only One, and His Name is: the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our Attorney to obtain the eternal inheritance that we are heirs to. Whoever does not claim it, will not have it; and it must be claimed through Christ, who is the Advocate before God.
Saint Paul the apostle says: “If any man has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ His Son.” [First John 2:1.] Jesus Christ is our Advocate, He is our defense Attorney. We cannot defend ourselves, it is Christ who defends us and cleanses us from all sin with His Blood, after which there is no reason why we cannot inherit the inheritance that pertains to us as sons and daughters of God.
We lost our inheritance through the first Adam, and we were left with the limited inheritance of a mortal, earthly life, which for some, or for the majority, doesn’t even last one hundred years. That is a very limited portion of what all human being must have, but that’s how it is in this earthly life that we inherited from Adam and Eve. But the eternal inheritance is given to us by the second Adam, which is Jesus Christ our Savior.
Let us stand and pray for the people who are coming to the Feet of Christ our Savior.
God has many people in Bogota, Colombia, and in all the cities and towns, in all the provinces of Colombia, and in all of Latin America and the Caribbean, and other nations, and He is calling them at this end time. For the Holy Spirit, the Servant said: “There is still room.” And they are placed in the Kingdom of Christ, in the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the House of God of the New Covenant.
More people are coming forward who, like you, the faith of Christ was born in their souls, and now it is up to them to give public testimony of their faith in Christ.
The Scripture says that faith comes by hearing. Hearing what? The Word of Lord; and it says that “with the heart one believes unto righteousness but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” [Romans 10:17; Romans 10:10.]
Now is the moment to publicly confess Christ as our Savior, for the salvation of our souls. For which, in all the places that are connected with this transmission, you can come to the front to give public testimony of your faith in Christ as our only and sufficient Savior.
Let us pray now for those who have come to the Feet of Christ. With our hands raised to Christ, to Heaven:
Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You with all these people here present and in other places who are receiving Christ as their Only and sufficient Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom. I beg You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Now, with our eyes closed and our heads bowed, repeat with me this prayer, those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion:
Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the preaching of Your Gospel, and Your faith was born in my heart, in my soul. I believe in You with all my heart, with all my soul. I believe in Your First Coming and in Your Name as the Only Name under Heaven, given unto man by which we can be saved. I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins.
I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I need a Savior, a Redeemer. I give public testimony of Your faith in me and of my faith in You, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior.
I beg You to forgive my sins and cleanse me of all sin with Your Blood, and may You baptize me with Holy Spirit and fire, and produce in me the new birth.
I want to be born in Your Kingdom; I want to live eternally with You in Your glorious Kingdom. Make a reality in my life the Salvation You purchased for me on Calvary’s Cross.
Lord, I beg You to baptize me with Holy Spirit and fire, and produce in me the new birth once I am baptized in water in Your Name. I beg You Lord, in Your glorious and Eternal Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Since you have received Christ as your Savior, you may ask yourselves, and ask me: “When can I be baptized? Because Christ said: ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.’” (Saint Mark chapter 16, verse 15 to 16).
It was Christ who said: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” It is a commandment by Christ for all those who receive Christ as Savior: to be baptized in water in His Name.
Even Christ Himself went where John the Baptist was preaching and baptizing, there at the Jordan River, to be baptized by John. And when it was Jesus’ turn to enter into the baptismal waters and He goes before John, John tells Him: “I have a need to be baptized by you, and you come to me so I baptize you?” In other words, John wanted Jesus to baptize him. But Jesus came for John to baptize Him, because he was the forerunner.
And he did not want to baptize Jesus, and Jesus tells him: “It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.” And then he didn’t argue anymore. He baptized Him, and when He was raised from the baptismal waters, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove, and that was the sign that He was the Prince Messiah, because that was the sign which the Holy Spirit told him that he would see upon the One whom he was preparing the way for, the Prince Messiah. And he saw that sign upon Jesus.
And the Apostle Peter also says:
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” [Acts 2:38-39.]
Therefore, you can be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with Holy Spirit and Fire, and produce in you the new birth.
In water baptism we identify with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. That is the symbolism of water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving testimony that we were in Him, we have died with Him when He died, we have been buried with Him when He was buried, and we have resurrected with Him when He resurrected. That is the testimony we give when we are baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Being conscious… that water does not take away sins, but the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Water baptism is typological. We have seen the typology, the symbolism, what water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ symbolizes.
That is why when the person receives Christ as Savior, he dies to the world, when the minister immerses him in the baptismal waters, typologically, symbolically, he is being buried, and when he is raised from water baptism, he is resurrecting to a new life: unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. That is the symbolism, the typology of water baptism in the Name of Jesus, our Savior.
Therefore, you can be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire, and produce in you the new birth.
I leave Mr. Ivan Sarmiento with you to let you know what you must do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And in each country I leave the minister to do the same, to let you know what you must do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ at this time.
I leave Mr. Ivan Sarmiento with you to tell you what you must do to be baptized in water in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we will continue seeing each other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior.
May God bless you and keep you all.
