Good evening, kind friends and brethren present. 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, which is the most important Word for every human being.
There is no other Word more important than God’s. “Heaven and Earth shall pass, but my Word shall not pass,1” says the Lord.
I want to read in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, where it tells us:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN.”
In this passage John says that he saw a door open in Heaven, and he says:
“…and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
This voice as a trumpet (in other words, it is not a literal trumpet, but a voice as a trumpet: the voice of a person), let’s see whose voice it is, this voice as a trumpet. Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, the apostle John says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
Who is the Alpha and Omega? Our beloved Savior Jesus Christ. And here His Voice is as a Great Voice of Trumpet; His Voice as a Great Voice of Trumpet on the Lord’s Day, to which the apostle John was transported, he was transported in the spirit.
This voice as of a trumpet, being the Voice of Christ, is a heavenly Voice: which brings a Message from Heaven for all believers in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And what Message does He bring, and what things will He be making known with that Message from Heaven? And who, and through whom will Christ be manifested in the Lord’s Day, in the Last Day (which is the seventh millennium), speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet, that heavenly Voice with a heavenly Message?
Let’s see in whom and through whom Christ will be speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet, and what things He will be saying to us. In Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6 and on, it says:
“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.”
Who has He sent? His Angel. What did He send him for? To make known, to manifest to His servants the things that must soon come to pass; the things that must happen soon, after those that have already happened during these two thousand years that have passed.
If we add to the calendar the years it is behind, two thousand years have already passed from Christ until now, because the calendar is behind schedule. And therefore, if we take the years it is behind, we are already in the seventh millennium, seventh millennium from Adam until now and third millennium from Christ until now.
And just as Saturday, being the seventh day of the week, is the last day of the week…
Since “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90, verse 4, which is a psalm of the prophet Moses), one day before the Lord is a millennium for human beings, in other words, a thousand years; and when God speaks of the last days, the last days before God, they are the last millenniums for the human beings.
And when did the last days begin?
If we take the Bible and read the Bible without going deep into it, we get a superficial knowledge of what the Bible says; but if we go deep into it, then we can get a deep knowledge of Scripture.
See what Saint Paul tells us speaking in his letter to the Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 2; 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 fathers in the Old Testament? Through the prophets; for it is to the prophets that the Word of God comes from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation. “For the Lord God will do nothing, except He revealeth His secrets to His servants His prophets.” Amos, chapter 3, verse 7.
And Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 15 to 19, also speaks of these things, and the prophet Moses says:
“The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken…”
And why does the prophet Moses say “unto him ye shall hearken”? Why does Moses say that we must listen to that prophet that God raises from among the people? Verse 18 to 19 says the cause; it says… Now, God is speaking, and Moses is saying what God told him:
“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (in other words, like Moses), and will put my words in his mouth…”
Where do we find God’s words? In the mouth of the prophet that He raises from the midst of the people, and sends him to the people with that Word that God has placed in the mouth of that prophet.
“…and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
There we can see why God has sent prophets in both the Old Testament and New Testament. God raised up prophets in the Old Testament; and Christ in the New Testament says that He places apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers in His Church2. Christ places in His Church, notice, prophets as well.
And anyone may ask: “But didn’t Christ Himself say that the prophets up until John prophesied?” That is right: the prophets of the Old Testament prophesied up until John3</sup>; and now Jesus Christ appears, a prophet greater than John the Baptist; and the prophets prophesied up until John. And what about Jesus, being a prophet greater than John, the prophet of Nazareth? A prophet greater than John, in other words, a dispensational prophet, the Prophet of all prophets.
God has messengers, He has prophets for different ages; but when God has in His Program a greater Work to carry out, He sends a greater prophet, and that is a dispensational prophet.
And dispensational prophets, do you know how many God has? God only has seven dispensational prophets, because there are seven dispensations.
The Dispensation of Innocence, and the dispensational prophet was (who?) Adam. The second dispensation, the Dispensation of Consciousness, and the prophet for that dispensation was Seth. The third dispensation, the Dispensation of Human Government, and the dispensational prophet for that third dispensation was Noah.
Now, look, when God sends a greater prophet, not all people believe in him. How many believed in Noah and his Message, a Message from God, a Message from Heaven to mankind? Noah and his family; and the rest did not believe, and perished when the divine judgment came.
And remember that Jesus Christ refers to the days of Noah when He speaks of the Coming of the Son of Man for this end time. He says that the Coming of the Son of Man will be like in the days of Noah4, and He also says that it will be like in the days of Lot5.
In the days of Lot there was a dispensational prophet also, which was Abraham; because after Noah (who was the third dispensational prophet, for the third dispensation), then comes the fourth dispensation, which is the Dispensation of the Promise, and its dispensational prophet was Abraham. And in the days of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed, where Lot was; that is why it says “as in the days of Lot.” And now, in the days of Lot, notice, a dispensational prophet was on the scene.
Then comes the fifth dispensation, the Dispensation of the Law, and its dispensational prophet was who? The prophet Moses. Then comes the sixth dispensation, and its dispensational prophet is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, there present.
And now, these dispensational prophets come at the end of the dispensation that has come to an end, and they come for that dispensational intertwining.
And the last messenger of the dispensation that is coming to its end, speaks of one who will come after him: Look how John the Baptist spoke of one who would come after him, which would be greater than him, and of which John the Baptist said that He would baptize them with Holy Spirit and Fire6</sup>; and of which John the Baptist said He was before him, in other words, the one who would come after John was before John7.
How can we understand it? Because before Jesus was in human flesh, He was in His theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and He was before John, and He was before Abraham as well.
Jesus said, He said, speaking to us in John, He said: “Abraham wished to see my day; he saw it, and was glad.” They say to Him: “You are not yet fifty years old, and you say you have seen Abraham?” What does Jesus answer them? In chapter 8, verse 58… The quote we are giving is chapter 8, verse 56 to 59, and now, in verse 58 says:
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”
Because He is the I Am that appeared to Moses. And when Moses wanted to know His Name, being the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which was speaking to Moses in that Pillar of Fire, and Moses wants to know His Name), He says: “I am who I am. And thou shalt say unto the people, I Am he hath sent me unto you.8”
If we look in the originals, we will find that there are four consonants, which were given to Moses there, which are the Y (that is, the ‘wai’), the H, the W and the H; there are four letters there.
And now, the I Am of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament. That is why when He appeared to Moses in the Pillar of Fire He told him that He was the I Am.
And now, when Saul is on the road to Damascus to seek Christians and take them prisoners, the Pillar of Fire appears to him, the I Am, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and He says to him: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the pricks.” And Saul (knowing that that light stronger than the sun was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the I Am that had appeared to Moses) says to Him: “Lord, who are you?”, he recognized Him as the Lord. And now, the Pillar of Fire, that Light, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, tells Saul: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.9”
Now we can see there the I Am.
And now, the I Am had appeared to Abraham, had eaten with Abraham also, on the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah10</sup>; but even before that occasion, He had also appeared to Abraham as Melchizedek, and had given bread and wine to Abraham, and Abraham had paid his tithes to Melchizedek11. Melchizedek, King of Salem and King of Righteousness, King of Peace, and Priest of the Most High God of the Temple which is in Heaven; not a priest of an earthly temple, but of the heavenly Temple.
And now you see why Jesus could say: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He was before Abraham too, and He was before Noah, and He was before Adam too; because He is the Word:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” says Genesis, chapter 1. And now in John, chapter 1, verse 1 to 4, He gives us this description of the Word, which was with God and was God, the same Almighty God in His theophanic body. And in verse 14, of John, chapter 1, it tells us: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” The Word made flesh in that young carpenter from Nazareth; the Word that was with God and was God, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord made flesh, dressed in human flesh.
Within that body called Jesus was God in all His fullness manifested; that was the mystery that was manifested in this young carpenter from Nazareth.
Now notice, in a young man, a construction worker, was the greatest mystery relevant to that time of the Kingdom of the Heavens. It was the manifestation of the Divinity in a body of flesh, in a young construction worker.
When God promises something great, He fulfills it in a simple way, in such a way that those who expect to see God fulfilling the great promises, the fulfillment of those promises is overlooked; because God works in a simple way, in simplicity, so that we do not give glory to the human part, but to the Divinity. The human part will always be a simple instrument that God will have on planet Earth.
That is why, for the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah, for the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord in human flesh, the veil of flesh was simple; to such a degree that He had not studied in the seminaries and religious institutes of the Hebrew religion; He did not have His doctorate, He did not have His credentials of the Hebrew religion; He was a simple young man; but in Him was God in all His fullness.
And now, anyone can say: “But why didn’t Jesus go to the seminary to get a doctorate, so that He could carry out His ministry and they would receive Him?”
And in which seminary can God be taught? The Scripture says: “Who knew the mind of God?, and who was His counselor?, and who can teach God?12”
And God was there, in that veil of flesh. Therefore He that was within Him taught Jesus; and He taught it according to that which was written. That is why Jesus always said: “It is written.”13
He went straight to the Scriptures, and according to how the Father who was in Him taught Him. For He said that He did nothing of Himself14, but as the Father taught Him, showed Him, so He spoke and so He worked. He said: “I speak nothing of myself; what I hear the Father speak, that is what I speak.15”
And on one occasion, praying for His disciples, He said: “Father, the Word that You gave me, I have given them.16” See? God placing His Word in the heart and in the mouth of a prophet, and that prophet giving the people that Word.
“For the Lord God will do nothing, except He revealeth His secrets to His servants, His prophets”; and there was a prophet, Jesus, to whom the Word came and was made flesh in Him; and therefore God in all His fullness was manifested through Jesus; and He was speaking to the people and teaching the people, who?, God. “And all shall be taught of God.17”
Now see how the people in order to be taught of God did not need to go to a school, but to go to the feet of Jesus, because He was the person where God was manifested and where He had placed His Word.
When Jesus asked His disciples, on one occasion when those who followed Jesus had eaten the loaves and fishes18, which were many…, when Jesus spoke to them about eating His flesh and drinking His Blood to have eternal life, and told them that no one went up to Heaven but He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven19</sup>; since they did not understand those words of Jesus and interpreted them literally (those words about eating His flesh and drinking His Blood; and that already sounded a little strange)…; and now, they stopped following Jesus.
And the disciples, seeing the situation that the people were no longer following Him as in other occasions, they say in their hearts: “This Word (that Jesus is speaking) is hard, this Word is hard; who can receive It?” And Jesus knowing the thoughts of their hearts, He says to His disciples: “Do you also want to go away?” And what… what was the reaction of His disciples? Well, Peter immediately says: “And to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.20”
Now, didn’t the high priest preach the Bible, the Old Testament?, and didn’t the other priests preach the Bible?, and the scribes, and the Pharisees, and the doctors of the law, didn’t they teach the Bible? Of course they did.
It is one thing to teach the letter of the Bible and another thing to bring the divine revelation relevant to the time in which the person is living. And that divine revelation can only come to a prophet, a messenger sent by God. And when God sends that messenger for an age or for a dispensation: He places His Word in the heart and in the mouth of that messenger, and he speaks all that God sends him to speak; and that is the Word of eternal life for the people.
With that Word being spoken, God fulfills His Program for that age or for that dispensation, and awakens the souls of people, of those whose names are written in Heaven, in the Book of God, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; He awakens them to reality, He vivifies them, and a spiritual awakening arises in the midst of the human race, in the people who receive that Word; and God gives them that Word open, revealed, and opens their understanding and opens the heart of the people to receive that revealed Word; and people say: “Well, this was what I was waiting for, and now I can really understand these things.”
It is that God is vivifying, bringing to life the soul of these people, He is illuminating their souls with His Word. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light unto my path (or my way).21”
There we can see how, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, God opens the Word promised for that age or for that dispensation; and he that is of God, hears the Voice of God22.
Now, some people have the idea that all people are of God, but what does Jesus say about that? It is very important to know what Jesus says; because if our idea does not agree with what Jesus says, then we have to put our idea aside and stay with what Jesus says.
On chapter 6, verse 44 and on, of John, it says:
“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Who will Christ resurrect at the Last Day? Those who have come to Christ, have believed in Christ as their Savior, have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received the Spirit of Christ, and therefore have received the new birth; those are the wise virgins. If their physical body has died, they will be resurrected at the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium, in some year of the seventh millennium, in an eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified body, like the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
And in chapter 10 of John, verse 24 and on, it says:
“Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.”
These people were believers in the Bible, in the Old Testament, they were people belonging to the Hebrew religion; who attended the synagogue or the temple on the Sabbath, and were careful to be keeping the Law, and listened to the preaching of the priest or the high priest; they were very religious people. But it is not enough to be a religious person. Look:
“Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.”
And now, why? Christ had already spoken to them about who He was, He had shown them that He was the Messiah (Messiah means ’the Anointed One’, ’the Christ’); and they did not believe that this construction worker was the Anointed of God, the Messiah, the Christ, the King of Israel promised to come in those days.
And there He was in the first half part of the seventieth, of the prophetic week of Daniel23</sup>; there He was fulfilling that prophecy and identifying Himself with the prophecies that spoke of the Coming of the Messiah.
Do you remember in Luke, chapter 4, where He took the book of the prophet Isaiah that was given to Him there in Nazareth to read, as He usually did, there in Nazareth, in the synagogue? And reading the book, reading in chapter 61 of Isaiah, He read where it says:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me…”
And He begins to enumerate what He had been anointed for, and at the end He tells them:
“This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
And did those people believe or not believe? They did not believe; rather they rose up in anger and wanted to drive Him off a cliff that they had there – that they had there in the city.
And now, notice, when God sends a prophet, a messenger to fulfill His Divine Program for that time, not everyone will believe in Him. The greatest prophet of all came: our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and not everyone believed in Him. Now, let’s see the reason why they did not believe:
“But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.24”
So He had already told them that, too. When He says: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow me,” He is showing them that it is the sons and daughters of God who will hear the Voice of God, those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. He says25:
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
Now here we can see that for every age and for every dispensation there will be people who will not believe, and there will also be people who will believe.
When Jesus asked: “Who do men say the Son of Man is?”, the disciples of Jesus Christ said: “Some say you are Elijah, others say you are John the Baptist who has resurrected, and others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” And Jesus asks: “And you, who do you say the Son of Man is?” And Peter says: “You; you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” That is in chapter 16 of Matthew, verse 13 to 20 (you can read it at home).
Now notice, Peter says: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” What does Christ say to him?
“Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee…”
In other words: “No minister, no seminary, no high priest, no scribes, no Pharisees, no doctors of the Law, no priests; none of them taught you that I am the Christ, but my Father in Heaven.” A direct revelation from Heaven came to Peter to know who Jesus was.
And now, we can see that in order to see, to know and receive the Messenger of God for every age or for every dispensation, and to receive His Message, it has to be by revelation from Heaven, from the heavenly Father.
How many received Noah? Noah, his wife, his children and his daughters-in-law. Notice, they were the ones who stood by Noah, and those who worked with Noah for the ark, and those who entered the ark and those who were saved from the human beings. Of so many millions that there were at that time and so many religious groups, and so many religious leaders, see, only Noah and his family were saved from the divine judgment of the flood that came at that time. And as it was in the days of Noah, the Coming of the Son of Man will be.
Now, who will receive Him at the Last Day? Those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Christ said: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on Earth?”, faith, revelation to believe, understand and receive Him. “Will He find faith on Earth?”, that was a key question that Jesus asked in Luke, chapter 18, verse 8.
Now, we can see that he who is of God (those are the sheep of God), hears the Voice of God, in other words, the Voice of the Good Shepherd, the Voice of God in the prophet, in the messenger. The Voice of God was in Jesus. He did not speak anything of Himself, but what He heard the Father speak; what God showed Him, that was what Jesus spoke.
And where was God? God was manifested in Him; it was the manifestation of God in all His fullness in human flesh. And God has been in each prophet in the portion pertaining to each time, to each age; and He has placed His Word in the mouth of that prophet.
And that Word is the spiritual food for the soul of the people; and that Word is the Voice from Heaven, it is the Message from Heaven for the human beings living in that age or in that dispensation.
See how the Word of God comes to the human race, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation.
Now, I told you that there are seven dispensational prophets and there are seven dispensations. We stopped at the sixth dispensation, which is the Dispensation of Grace, and the seventh dispensational messenger, which is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
See how a dispensational intertwining was being made there: John the Baptist was the last of the Old Testament prophets, but Jesus was the first of the New Testament prophets, and the dispensational prophet of the sixth dispensation: the Dispensation of Grace.
But there are seven dispensations. The seventh dispensation is the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and its prophet messenger is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and his Message is the Gospel of the Kingdom.
And just as the Father sent Jesus, and Jesus did not speak anything of Himself but what He heard the Father speak, the Angel of Jesus Christ is sent by the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Angel of Jesus Christ will not speak anything of himself, but everything that he hears Jesus Christ speak. Jesus Christ places His Word in the heart and in the mouth of His Angel Messenger, so that he may speak to us what Jesus places in his mouth.
That is why in the passage that we read at the beginning, where John says that the first Voice that he heard was like a trumpet, which said: “Come up hither, and I will show you things which must shortly come to pass”; this Voice, making known all these things that must shortly come to pass, then we find it in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ: in Revelation 22, verse 6, where it says:
“…and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Now, notice where the Voice of Christ would be, of the Alpha and Omega, that Great Voice of Trumpet making known to us all these things that must shortly come to pass: It would be in His Angel Messenger; for Christ would put His Word in the heart and in the mouth of His Angel Messenger, and he would speak to us all these things that must shortly come to pass, which are revealed to His Angel Messenger; and His Angel reveals them to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, is the one who sends His Angel Messenger.
And Revelation 22, verse 16, says: “I Jesus have sent my Angel…”:
“I Jesus have sent (who?) mine angel (what for?) to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
Jesus Christ sends His Angel Messenger to testify of all these things that must happen soon; He sends him to the churches.
Therefore, the Sent One of Jesus Christ with the Message that comes from Heaven, making known all these things that must shortly come to pass, notice, the Sent One is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the prophet of the seventh dispensation, the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with 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 Reclaiming Work. He comes making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass.
Now, how many know what the last days are? Notice, Paul (where we were reading at the beginning) told us that God spoke through the prophets to the fathers. We have seen this divine truth: God speaks through His prophets, He places His Word in the mouth of His prophets.
A prophet is a man with the two consciences together, and that is why he can see and hear in one or other dimensions; and he can see in the dimension of the angels and can also hear the Voice of God. That is the difference between ordinary people and a prophet.
People have both consciences separated from each other, but a prophet comes with both consciences together; and that is why he hears from God and speaks the Word of God; and that is the Message from Heaven for the people at that time.
And now, this Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ comes to testify, making known the things that will soon come to pass, in other words, He comes with a prophetic Message. He is a prophet sent by Christ to His Church, and he comes prophesying the things that will come to pass, making them known to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He gave them to John in these apocalyptic symbols; and for the Last Day, the Angel of Jesus Christ comes to the Church of Jesus Christ, He comes in human flesh, making known all these things that must come to pass in this end time.
And now, let’s see something of the last days. After God speaks through the prophets of the Old Testament, it says:
“…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…” (Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 2).
Now, Saint Paul says that God spoke through His Son, through Jesus Christ, in the last days; and two thousand years have passed from Christ until now. Was Saint Paul wrong saying that those were the last days? He was not wrong.
The apostle Peter also says in the book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 14 to 20, that what they were receiving there on the Day of Pentecost was the Holy Spirit; which God had promised for the believers, which He had promised to pour out upon all flesh in the last days26.
In other words, the disciples of Jesus Christ, 120 people there in the upper room receiving the Holy Spirit, were receiving Him in the last days.
So, what are the last days? I told you that one day before the Lord, for human beings is a thousand years, in other words, a millennium. And being that when Jesus was already here on Earth the last days had already begun, it shows us clearly that the last days before God (being the last millenniums for the human race) are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium.
The last days before God, for the human beings are the last millenniums: fifth, sixth and seventh; and when Jesus was 4 to 7 years old, the fifth millennium began.
And now, of those three last millenniums, which is the last one? The Last Day before God is the seventh millennium, seventh millennium from Adam until now. And when Christ says, speaking of the believers in Him, He says: “… and I will raise him up at the last day”27, the Last Day before God is the seventh millennium.
And now, we have seen what the last days are. So when we speak of this time, we can clearly identify this time as the Last Day, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind; and if not, well there is only 1 year with 9 months and some days left for the twentieth century to end, and therefore the sixth millennium to end, and the seventh millennium to start; and the seventh millennium is the Last Day before God.
But has the calendar fallen behind for God? That is a good question for all of us. If it has not fallen behind, then we are already in the seventh millennium, and therefore in the Last Day before God.
Of the three last days, the seventh millennium is the third, in other words, from Christ until now the seventh millennium is the Last Day before God; and from Adam until now the seventh millennium is the Last Day before God.
Now, see how simple everything is in the Bible, but how many had understood it?, how many had understood what the last days were? You had not understood it, but now we understand it; and we can see that the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul were not wrong when they said that those were the last days; because the last days before God had already begun, which for the human beings are the last millenniums, which began with the fifth millennium.
And the seventh millennium is the Last Day before God, where He will resurrect the dead in Christ and will transform us who are alive. But in what year of the seventh millennium? We do not know.
Now, before the resurrection of the dead in Christ and our transformation, Saint Paul says that the Last Trumpet will sound, that Trumpet of God, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet in the Lord’s Day, in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium; which is the Voice of Christ giving us the Message that comes from Heaven and making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.
That Message is that Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet of which Saint Paul speaks28</sup>; and of which the book of Revelation speaks as the Great Voice of Trumpet, or Trumpet, in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, and Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1.
And it is the same Great Voice of Trumpet of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, of which Jesus said: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect…”
It is —the Great Voice of Trumpet— the Message that comes from Heaven for the Church of Jesus Christ through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.
Now, we have seen the mystery of: “THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN”</strong>; and he who is of God, hears the Voice of God in the time that he has to live.
And now it is our turn to live in this end time, what for? To hear the Message that comes from Heaven, to hear the Voice of Christ through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.
That is why God has sent us to live on this planet Earth: to hear THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN, to hear the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, that Last Trumpet, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time, in the Last Day.
We have clearly seen THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN, and we have seen that it is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, for this end time; the Message with which all these things that must shortly take place are made known.
And it comes through the Holy Spirit through a man, a prophet, of whom Christ says: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
That is a dispensational prophet, the prophet of the seventh dispensation, with the seventh dispensational Message, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and with that Message all the elect of God are called and gathered together, and are taught of God in this end time: taught of God in all these things which must shortly come to pass.
And that is how the Message from Heaven comes for all those whose names are written in the Book of Life, for all the sheep of God; and he who is of God, the hears Voice of God in the time that he has to live: “My sheep hear my Voice, and they follow me,” says our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And where He is and through whom He is speaking, the sheep of God, of Christ, will listen to Him. He also says… He says: “I am the good shepherd…”, let’s see (now to finish), because it is not only important to know that there is a Message that comes from Heaven, but it is important to know that there are people on Earth who will be listening to that Message.
John, chapter 10, verse 14 to 16, says:
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold (that is, they are not of the Hebrew fold, but of the gentiles): them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
And how will they hear the Voice of Christ, if Christ died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, and has sat down at the right hand of God, at the right hand of God in Heaven, making intercession as High Priest?
It is that Christ in Holy Spirit would be from stage to stage in the messenger of each stage, of each age, and He would be speaking through the messenger of each age: He would be placing His Word in the heart and in the mouth of that messenger; and through that messenger He would be speaking to His sheep, and would be calling them and placing them in His Fold; and the Fold is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the sheep are the ones whose names are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Now see how, from stage to stage, Christ would be calling and gathering all His sheep, because it is convenient for Him to bring them to the Fold; and He speaks through His messengers; and in this end time He will be speaking through His Angel Messenger.
From stage to stage we have had the Message that comes from Heaven through the messenger sent from Heaven; and for this time, Jesus identifies the Sent One from Heaven: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
No one will be able to understand these things, except those who will be hearing the Voice of Christ through His Angel Messenger; that is why He sends him to His Church. And it is the first time that He sends to His Church a dispensational prophet, with the Message that comes from Heaven, for all the sons and daughters of God living in this end time.
It has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you of: “THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN”, the Message that comes from Heaven for this end time.
May the blessings of Christ our Savior be upon all of you and upon me too; and may He open our understanding and heart to understand the Message that comes from Heaven, from Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, kind friends and brethren present, and may you have a good evening.
“THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN.”
