Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, and radio listeners. It is a great privilege to be with you here in Mérida, in Mexico, to share some moments with you around the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION.”
This mystery is found in the Scriptures, and Saint Paul the Apostle speaks to us about it in First Corinthians chapter 15, verse 49 and on; he tells us the following:
“And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Here, Saint Paul the Apostle tells us about the mystery of the transformation of the body of every son and daughter of God, which our beloved Lord Jesus Christ also spoke to us about.
Our subject is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION.”
The transformation of the body of every son and daughter of God is a mystery, which Saint Paul the Apostle spoke to us about in this Scripture; he tells us it is a mystery: “Behold, I shew you a mystery.”
Now, this mystery, notice, is to be fulfilled at the end time, at the Last Day; because Jesus Christ Himself, speaking to us about the resurrection of the believers in Christ who have died, said in chapter 6, verses 39 to 40 of Saint John:
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day,” (when does He say that He will carry out the resurrection? At the Last Day).
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Here we have the promise of the resurrection of the believers in Christ who have died. On which date? At what time? At the Last Day.
Now, which is the Last Day? It is not a twenty-four-hour day; because “one day before the Lord…” says Saint Peter chapter 3, verse 8 (in his Second Letter); he tells us that we cannot be ignorant of this: “that one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” He says:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
And the Prophet Moses, in Psalm 90, verse 4, also tells us the same thing: “For one day before the Lord is a thousand years to human beings,” in other words, it is a millennium.
And when he speaks to us about the Last Days, Saint Paul the Apostle, notice, in his Letter to the Hebrews, in chapter 1, he tells us the following:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”
Now, when does Saint Paul say that God spoke through Jesus Christ, through His Son? He says:
“…In these last days spoken unto us by his Son…”
And two thousand years have already passed; and Saint Paul is telling us back then that God spoke through Jesus in the Last Days.
Now, how can it be understood that those days of Jesus were the Last Days, if two thousand years have already passed? It’s because (since one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day) when the Scripture refers to the Last Days, that is referring to the last millenniums, in other words, that is referring to the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium.
Just like in the days of the week, the last days of the week are: Thursday (which is the fifth day), Friday (which is the sixth day), and Saturday (which is the seventh day); and before God, that is equivalent to the Last Days, which are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium.
And when Jesus was four to seven years old, the fifth millennium began. And that is why in the Last Days God was speaking through whom? Jesus Christ; and in the Last Days, He has continued to speak through Jesus Christ, through the apostles, through the seven angel-messengers; and at this Last Day, He would speak to us through His Angel-Messenger.
Now, two thousand years have already passed since Christ, so two days have already passed before God, which is two thousand years to human beings: the fifth millennium and sixth millennium; and only the Last Day is left before God, which is the seventh millennium to human beings.
And the promise of Christ when He said: “And I will raise him up at the last day” must be fulfilled in the seventh millennium. And in order for that promise to be fulfilled, what is written here must be fulfilled first: the Last Trumpet must sound. It says:
“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Now, what is the Last Trump? The Last Trump is the Voice of Christ speaking to the human race for the last time, because the Voice of Christ is represented in the Trumpet.
Now, that is why in Revelation chapter 1, verse 10, you find that John the Apostle heard a Great Voice of Trumpet on the Lord’s Day. Chapter 1, verses 10 to 11; Saint John says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day…”
And now that we have seen which is the Lord’s Day, the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, notice where John was transported: he was transported to the seventh millennium. He 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? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, it is the Voice of Jesus Christ. But notice, it is the Voice of Jesus Christ as a Great Voice of Trumpet. It is not a voice of trumpet, but “as a Great Voice of Trumpet” speaking; a Voice that speaks with an urgent Message and a greater Message. It is a dispensational Message through which Christ would be speaking through His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day.
And now, notice how we would hear the Voice of God, how we would hear the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet at the Last Day, that Last Trumpet.
Just as He spoke in other past ages: God spoke through the Old Testament prophets, then He spoke through Jesus Christ, and then we find that He has spoken through His angel-messengers of the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church. He spoke through Saint Paul, who said: “I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me.”1
Now, it was Christ in Saint Paul and it was Christ in each of these angel-messengers in the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church, speaking—as Christ had promised—to call and gather His elect from each stage or age of His Church, to gather His sheep, for He told us in Saint John chapter 10, verses 14 to 16:
“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,” (in other words, they are not Hebrew), “them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
Now, notice how in this passage we find that Christ promises to call those sheep from among the Gentiles (for they are not of the Hebrew Fold); and He says that they will hear His Voice, and there will be one Fold and one Shepherd.
But when Christ rose, after His death He rose and then He ascended to Heaven. And then He has descended in Holy Spirit, and He has been speaking and calling His sheep from age to age, from stage to stage, how? Through each angel-messenger in each age of His Gentile Church. That is how the sheep have heard the Voice of Christ in the different ages of the Gentile Church, in these seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church.
And how would they hear the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, in the Age of the Cornerstone? Well, through His Angel-Messenger whom He would send at the Last Day.
And now, notice how Christ tells us that His sheep hear His Voice. [John] chapter 10, verse 27 and on says:
“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.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
I and my Father are one.”
Now, notice how here Christ speaks to us about His sheep, which are His children; they are the people whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world.
And now, we can see how Christ would be calling and gathering His sheep from age to age. It is the Voice of Christ speaking, calling His sheep; it is that Voice of Trumpet from age to age, speaking to His sheep; and at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, the Voice of Christ will be as a Great Voice of Trumpet.
Because in the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church, we find that the Voice of Christ has been in and through each angel-messenger: Saint Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley, and Rev. William Marrion Branham. The Voice of Christ has been there, calling and gathering the elect, the Voice of Christ as a trumpet, speaking to His people, to His sheep, and gathering them into His Fold; and His Fold is His Church, His mystical Body of believers.
But now, how will He speak here, and what will the Voice of Christ be making known to us here, in the Age of the Cornerstone? Let’s see what Christ says with His Voice of Trumpet in Revelation chapter 4, verse 1; it says:
“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,” (here we have the Voice of Christ again as of a trumpet), “talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
Now, where are we going to go up? Do we have to take a rocket or a plane or something like that to fly up to Heaven and go hear God’s Voice up in Heaven? No, God’s Voice, the Voice of Christ, comes to Earth through each angel-messenger that He sends to Earth.
God spoke through His prophets in the Old Testament, then He spoke through Jesus Christ, then He spoke through His apostles, then He spoke through His seven angel-messengers; and at this Last Day, let’s see through whom He will be speaking to us and making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.
We must go up to the Age of the Cornerstone; it’s right here on Earth, but in a heavenly age. We must go up to where He is.
If we were living in the first stage or age of the Gentile Church, we would have to go up to the first age where the Holy Spirit was, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, speaking through Saint Paul. If we were living in the second age, we would have to go up to the second age, where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit was speaking through Irenaeus. And so on, if we were living in any of these seven ages, we would have to go up to the age where Jesus Christ was in Spirit, speaking through the messenger of that age.
And now, since these seven ages already passed, He is no longer speaking through any of these angel-messengers, they already left, they are in Paradise resting. But now Christ is in the Age of the Cornerstone, speaking to His Church with the Great Voice of Trumpet, with that dispensational Message, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. And what does it say that He will be speaking? All the things which must shortly be done.
“Come up hither,” (up here, to the Cornerstone Age), “and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter,” (that is, after the things that have already happened in the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church).
And now, let’s see through whom all those things which must shortly be done are made known; because through the one that these things are being made known, Jesus Christ will be manifested speaking to His Church with that Great Voice of Trumpet in the Age of the Cornerstone.
In Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, it tells us through whom we would hear all these things. 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.”
Whom has He sent? His Angel-Messenger. What for? To show His servants the things which must shortly be done. Through His Angel-Messenger, Jesus Christ would be manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone at the Last Day, speaking with that Great Voice of Trumpet all these things which must shortly be done.
Through His Angel-Messenger, Christ would be calling and gathering together His sheep at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in His mystical Body of believers.
Just as He spoke through each angel-messenger of each age, at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium and in the Age of the Cornerstone, through His Angel-Messenger He would be speaking to us all these things which must shortly be done.
And the elect would be hearing the Voice of Christ; because they would be hearing the Voice of the Good Shepherd through His Angel-Messenger. And when His elect, which are His sheep, would hear His Voice, they would come to Lord’s Fold, they would come to the mystical Body of Christ, to the Age of the Cornerstone, and they would be in the Lord’s Fold.
“And there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
The Shepherd is Jesus Christ. He is the Good Shepherd. And the Fold or Flock is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And every person whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life would hear the Voice of the Good Shepherd, the Voice of Jesus Christ; he would be called and gathered and put in the Lord’s Fold, meaning, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, notice that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, of past ages, is the one with the promise of the resurrection in eternal bodies; and the elect of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone, who are alive when the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place, have the promise of the transformation of their bodies.
Now, some will depart from our age, but they will return in eternal bodies. But there will be a large group of the Age of the Cornerstone that will remain alive, and will see the dead in Christ rise in eternal bodies; and when that happens, we will be changed; and thus, we will receive the transformation that Christ has promised at the Last Trumpet, in other words, the Last Message.
And the Last Message is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work. That is the axis which the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around. Just like the Message of the Gospel of Grace revolves around the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God in His Work of Redemption, carried out on Calvary’s Cross, by taking away our sins.
Now, we have seen that the transformation of our bodies is promised to take place at the Last Day, when the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of Christ, is speaking to His people through His Angel-Messenger and is making known to them all these things which must shortly be done; and thus we are called and gathered at the Last Day, and prepared to be changed, and thus receive an eternal body.
And why do we need a transformation? Saint Paul the Apostle tells us: “Because flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” A person cannot continue to live in this earthly body without seeing death, a person cannot continue to live in this earthly body without this body getting old and corruption setting in some time; because it is a temporary body, and therefore, it cannot live eternally.
And that is why, for the dead who have believed in Him, Christ has the promise of a new body, which will be eternal, which Christ will give them at the Last Day.
And for us who are alive, if we remain alive when the dead in Christ rise, then there will be a transformation of our bodies: we will be transformed, changed in our atoms; and then we will have an eternal body, a body with Eternal Life, which will be young for all eternity, always representing eighteen to twenty-one years of age. Such is the body He has promised for each of His elect. And we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And that is how we will be in the glorious Millennial Kingdom with Christ, reigning as kings and priests a thousand years and then for all eternity. We will be people with eternal bodies, as Christ has promised; and thus, we will have an eternal body, a glorified body, and we will be just like our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Saint Paul the Apostle also speaks to us about this mystery in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 13 to 17, and he says:
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,” (meaning, those who have died in Christ), “that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord,” (who is this promise for? For those who remain until the Coming of the Lord; the promise of the transformation), “shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
Now, we can see here that the dead in Christ will rise first, and we who are alive—when we see the dead in Christ raised in eternal bodies—we will be changed. And after being here on Earth for thirty to forty days, in the new body, then we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven; and we will meet our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. We will see Him there, at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
But here on Earth, He will come in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel-Messenger, speaking to us all these things which must shortly be done, and preparing us to be changed and raptured at this Last Day. In other words, the manifestation of Jesus Christ for the Last Day is through His Angel-Messenger, speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet and making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.
And notice, we have seen that the instrument of Christ (for Him, Christ, to speak through him all these things which must shortly be done) is His Angel-Messenger. That is why in Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, Jesus Himself tells us:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
Whom has He sent? “His Angel-Messenger,” He says. What for? To testify these things in the churches. To testify what? These things which must shortly be done at the end time.
And now, seeing as we are living at the end time, at the Last Day, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind, then we have to understand that the time of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet has come, for the call to God’s elect to obtain the knowledge of all these things which must shortly be done.
And where is that call made? In the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ manifests Himself in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, and speaks directly to our souls all these things which must shortly be done; and reveals to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, reveals to us the mystery of the Coming of the Son of man, the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels, the Coming of Christ with His Angels.
This is the greatest mystery contained in the Scripture. And no one, neither in Heaven nor on Earth, knew that mystery, until it was opened in Heaven in [Revelation] chapter 8, verse 1, and it was known in Heaven; but everyone stayed silent to avoid the interruption of the Program of the Second Coming of Christ, which is the opening of the Seventh Seal.
And now, notice how this mystery of the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels at the Last Day, to call and gather His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet, was the mystery hidden in God’s Mind; and no one knew that mystery, no one knew how, when, and where that mystery would be opened.
But now that mystery has been opened; and we have seen that this mystery would be opened in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and at the Last Day, the seventh millennium, and in Latin America and the Caribbean.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, this mystery, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, calling and gathering His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet, and making known to them all these things which must shortly be done through His Angel-Messenger, notice, in Latin America is where this mystery would be opened; and we now know that this mystery is open in Latin America and the Caribbean.
It is no longer a mystery, but a Divine Revelation. This mystery has already been revealed, and now we can truly enjoy the blessings that Christ brings us in His manifestation through His Angel-Messenger, speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet and making known to us all these things which must shortly be done at the Last Day.
And now, notice why in Latin America and the Caribbean the elect are being called and gathered into the mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and Christ is making known to them all these things which must shortly be done at the Last Day; and thus He is preparing us to be changed and raptured at this Last Day in order to obtain the eternal body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me.
We are living at the time in which the mystery of the transformation will soon become a reality fulfilled in each one of us and in the dead in Christ who will rise in eternal bodies.
We are also living in the territory where this mystery would be opened, and where God would have the majority of His elect who will be changed while they are alive, and who will reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity; referring to those who are living at this time, in addition to those who departed, or whose bodies died in past ages.
Now, when or at which time will we be changed? That is one of the questions we have here, under the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION.”
• When or at which time will we be changed?
At the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium, and in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
• Where will the transformation happen?
Well, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the seventh millennium or Last Day.
• Is it necessary for the Lord to come in order to be changed, according to First Thessalonians 4:17?
Of course it is. The Lord Jesus Christ comes in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done; just as He came in each age of His Gentile Church through each angel-messenger, for the call to the elect of each age of His Gentile Church.
And now, what other question do we have here?
• What knowledge will be received in order to be changed?
The knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Claiming Work, veiled and revealed in and through His Angel-Messenger.
• Will that sound of a Trumpet be heard in Heaven or on Earth?
Here on Earth. Among the human beings, the sound of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet will be heard, which is the Trumpet of the Gospel sounding, proclaiming, the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work, where Christ in Holy Spirit will be veiled and revealed through His Angel-Messenger, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.
• During which time will one be changed?
As for “during which time one will be changed,” I don’t understand here whether that is referring to in how many minutes or in which time: in which age or dispensation or millennium.
If it’s in terms of age, well, it’s in the Age of the Cornerstone; if it’s in terms of dispensation, it’s in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and if it’s in terms of which day before God, well, it’s at the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium to human beings. And in terms of literal time, in how many minutes or seconds or hours: when we see the dead in Christ raised, count the time on your watch and you will see how long it will take Christ to change your body.
• What will that changed body be like?
It will be like the body of the Lord Jesus Christ: it will be an eternal body, a glorified body; it is the body that God predestinated before the foundation of the world for each one of His elect, for each one of His firstborn children; but because of the sin back in the garden of Eden, well, we had to take up this mortal and corruptible body, be born through our mother and father, and be temporarily in these mortal bodies to come in contact with Eternal Life, with Jesus Christ, at the time in which we have been given to live; just as it happened with God’s children who lived in the past, in order to come in contact with Christ.
And by receiving Christ as our Savior and washing away our sins in the Blood of the Lamb, of Jesus Christ, to receive the Spirit of Christ, and thus, to be born again. And through that new birth, we obtain the Spirit of Christ, we obtain that theophanic spirit.
And we start out the right way, because we start out the same way Jesus did, who first had His theophanic body in the sixth dimension before coming here in human flesh to Earth.
And for us, that happens when we believe in Christ as our Savior, and wash away our sins in the Blood of the Lamb, and receive His Holy Spirit; then we are in the same stage as Jesus Christ before He came to this Earth in His physical body. And then, once we are changed, well, we will be in the same stage as Jesus was when He had His physical body here on Earth; because we will then have an eternal body, and we will be just like our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
The Scripture, in Revelation chapter 3, verse 14, tells us that Christ is the beginning of the Creation of God, of a new Creation that God is carrying out with and in human beings. Because the old or first creation, which came through Adam, fell because of sin and became mortal. “For in the day that you eat thereof, that day you will die,”2 God said to Adam.
And now, because of the sin [committed] in the garden of Eden, by man came death, by Adam; therefore, all of Adam’s seed has come sentenced to death; for the wages of sin is (what?) death.3
And now, by Christ Life has come. And when we receive Christ as our Savior, the new birth is operated when we receive the Spirit of Christ; and we have already been born into a new race, a new race of which Jesus Christ is the first, a new race with Eternal Life; so that at the Last Day, we may obtain the eternal body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me, and for all the dead in Christ who will rise at the Last Day.
All the people who will receive the eternal body at the Last Day have had their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world.
And that is why at the time in which each person has been given to live, he has come in contact with Christ in the Program of Redemption of Jesus Christ, and he has washed away his sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ, and he has received the Spirit of Christ, and therefore, the new birth; and thus, he has obtained the theophanic body, the theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension; to receive the physical and eternal and glorified body at the Last Day; and thus, to be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, we have seen that there will also be a physical transformation, for every son and daughter of God, for every elect of God written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Those are the members of the mystical Body of Christ, in other words, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; those are the sheep of Christ, of the Good Shepherd, which He has been calling from age to age through each angel-messenger.
And at this Last Day, He calls His sheep of the Last Day through His Angel-Messenger. With what? With the Great Voice of Trumpet. And He calls them in the mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He said that His elect, His sheep, would hear His Voice. That is how it has been from age to age; and in our time: the Age of the Cornerstone, the same thing is also happening.
And that is why we are hearing the Voice of Christ at this Last Day, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done; and thus, we are being prepared to soon be changed and have the eternal body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me: so that we never suffer again, never get sick again, never grow old again, and never die again; because Saint Paul the Apostle tells us that when that transformation takes place… when this transformation takes place, he says:
“For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
That is where death ends for God’s sons and daughters; because we will already be in the eternal body, and we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And to testify all these things which must shortly come to pass, Christ says, “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches,” (these things which must happen). Revelation chapter 22, verse 16.
We have seen “THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION,” where the elect are called and gathered at this Last Day, and prepared for that transformation of the body which we will receive, where we will obtain an eternal body.
Science and many people have looked for the fountain of youth, because everyone has wanted to live eternally, and without problems. But notice where the Fountain of Youth is: It’s in Jesus Christ. Christ said that He would give us Life, and Life abundantly,4 in other words, Eternal Life. That is what He has promised for His sheep. And that is why He has carried out the Work of Redemption by dying on Calvary’s Cross. And when each person receives Christ as his Savior, and receives His Holy Spirit upon washing away his sins in the Blood of Christ, he is born again.
As Christ said to Nicodemus, one must be born again, because he who is not born again cannot see the Kingdom of God, in other words, he cannot understand It; because he must be born of water and of the Spirit to enter into the Kingdom of God. In Saint John chapter 3, verse 1 to 6, Christ tells Nicodemus these things.
Because one must be born of Christ, of water and of the Spirit, to belong to a new Race, to a new Creation, which began with Jesus Christ, and continued with every person whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, who has received Christ as His Savior. And that Work is still being carried out in each one of you and also in me; to receive the new body at the Last Day, the eternal body, and to live for all eternity.
Now, we have seen THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION; and we have seen everything that would be happening before the transformation to prepare the people to be changed at this Last Day.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION.”
It has been a great privilege to be with you, beloved friends and brethren present, and radio listeners, testifying to you about: “THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSFORMATION”: the transformation of the body that will be received at this Last Day by us who are alive, and who remain alive until the dead in Christ are raised in incorruptible bodies.
If any of our own goes beforehand, he will return in an eternal body. So, there is no problem regarding those who depart, because they have the promise to return in an eternal body; but we who remain here, when the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place, and we see them, well, we will be changed; and thus, we will obtain the eternal body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me; and we will be in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And where are the ones who would hear the Voice of Christ at the Last Day, and who have the promise to be changed and raptured? Well, here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean, waiting for our transformation.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you, and also upon me; and soon may we all be changed and raptured, as Christ has promised. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
I will leave Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you again to give all of you, kind radio listeners, the addresses and telephone numbers you can contact to receive literature completely free of cost; and thus, to have other conferences like this one, where you can gain more knowledge about the Divine Program pertaining to this end time, so that we may be prepared for that great event of the transformation of the physical body; to have a body just like the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, and live for all eternity; and live for all eternity without problems, live for all eternity without growing old, live for all eternity as kings and priests in the glorious Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will leave Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín with us again.
May God bless you, and thank you very much for your kind attention.
