The subject of next Sunday’s Bible school, God willing, is: “THE REVELATION OF GOD THROUGH THE PROPHETS.” And today, Friday, February 3rd, we have a short introduction to that subject which we will have for next Sunday’s Bible school on February 5th of this year 2017.
Let us read in Amos, chapter 3, verse 7, where it says:
“Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
May God bless our souls with His Word. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
We have the way in which God speaks to His people, mentioned here in the reading we had: through prophets.
For example, we have Israel, to whom God spoke through Moses, He spoke the Word corresponding to that time; and in that Message it was revealed how God would deliver them to fulfill what He promised Abraham in Genesis. When He was speaking to Abraham, God promised him in chapter 15, verses… Chapter 15 of Genesis, verse 12 and on, says:
“And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.”
Here, in verse 17, says:
“And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
God promised to give Abraham all that land, that entire territory, under the covenant God established with Abraham. And now, Abraham is also a prophet of God, “he is” because he is alive in another dimension.
Those who serve God do not die; they only go from this dimension to another dimension, to Paradise; and they continue living in their spiritual bodies, this is the spirit of the person, in which they continue living after their earthly life ends, their body of flesh.
GOD’S PROPHETS. They are characterized because they come with both consciouses together; and by coming with both consciouses together, while they are awake they can see, hear and speak in the spiritual dimension. God speaks to His prophets His Program corresponding to the time in which they live, as well as the Divine Program they will carry out later on; and those are divine prophecies. And the Spirit of God is in them, to speak to His people in each stage of the Divine Program.
There are greater prophets and minor prophets, but both of them have both consciouses together. Greater and minor prophets: the minor prophets correspond to ages and the greater prophets correspond to dispensations.
There are only seven dispensational prophets. Those are the greatest prophets in the Scripture. Adam is one of them; and Adam is followed by Seth, then Noah, then Abraham, then Moses, then Jesus…; and we still need the last one, with whom the Divine Program corresponding to the end time is sealed, and the Dispensation of the Kingdom is opened for the introduction to the Kingdom of God, also called the Kingdom of David, with the Throne of David being occupied by the Son of Man, by a Solomon; a Solomon, a David; represented there in the Scripture.
Remember that the Throne of God is in Heaven, but the Throne of God on Earth is the Throne of David; and the earthly Kingdom of God is also called the Kingdom of David. We will speak about this… The following Sunday, two Sundays from now, we will talk about the Kingdom of David.
Tonight we only have the introduction to “THE REVELATION OF GOD THROUGH THE PROPHETS.” That is the only way in which humanity can know what shall fall upon the human race in the time in which we are active, just as it was in past times. For: “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
That is why you find that different people have appeared to whom God has revealed His Word for the time in which they have lived; and that has been the Word of God for each period of time.
In Zechariah, chapter 7, we also have a simple explanation of what a prophet is. Chapter 7 of Zechariah, verses 11 to 12, says:
“But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”
The Word that God sent to His people, was sent how? Through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, through the prophets. The entire divine revelation for His people who live on Earth has come, comes and will come through them. That is why we find that the Bible comes from God through the Spirit of God, through the anointed men whom God has sent.
There is another place, there is another important passage that tells us about how the revelation of God comes. Chapter 2 of First of Corinthians, verse 9 and on, says:
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God…”
Only the Spirit of God knows the things of God; therefore, He reveals it to the people, the Spirit of God to the prophets, so that through the prophets He can communicate them to the people of God who are under the Covenant in effect where that messenger of God is found.
We have seen how the divine revelation comes to the people from age to age.
When He sends a messenger for an age, it is for him to speak, to remind the people the Message for that age. His main topic is to speak about the Message of that age. And the Message of that age comes from the Message for and of the dispensation which that age is living out; in other words, the Message of each age revolves around the Message of the dispensation in which a messenger of an age comes.
Now, the Message for a dispensation doesn’t come from a messenger from an age, it must come from a dispensational messenger; and there are only seven of these. And we are at the time in which the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom must emerge with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the introduction to the Millennial Kingdom.
For which, I will be with you again next Sunday, the day after tomorrow, to fully go into this subject: “THE REVELATION OF GOD THROUGH THE PROPHETS.”
Pray much for next Sunday’s service so that God gives us the maximum we can take, we can receive; and may He open our understanding and the Scriptures corresponding to this end time.
If there is anyone who has not yet received Christ as their Savior, you may do so at this time and we will pray for you so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, forgives you and with His Blood cleanses you from all sin; and baptizes you with the Holy Spirit and brings forth the new birth in you; and thus you be added to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Kingdom of God in the spiritual form.
Let us ask those who have not yet received Christ to come to the front so that you can receive Him. And in each country, all those who have not received Christ may come to the front to receive Christ as your only and sufficient Savior; remembering that we are at the end of the Dispensation of Grace, and soon it will be closed, when the last child of God, the last elect of God, enters the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior.
Let us give an opportunity to those who are in different countries to also come to the Feet of Christ if they have not already done so.
Let us stand to pray for the people who are receiving Christ in different countries on this occasion:
Heavenly Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name forever. We come to you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ with all these people who are receiving Christ as their only and sufficient Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom. I pray to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Now, repeat this prayer after me that I will be making for each one of you who has come the Feet of Christ or who are continuing to come in different nations. Repeat this prayer after me:
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You. I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I acknowledge that there is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. I acknowledge Your Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins.
I heard the preaching of Your Gospel, and Your faith was born in my heart. I believe in You with all my soul.
I pray that You forgive my sins, and with Your Blood cleanse me from all sin; and may You baptize me with the Holy Spirit and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name; and bring forth the new birth in me, Lord.
I want to be born in Your Kingdom, I want to enter Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally with You in Your Kingdom.
Lord, I give public testimony of my faith in You, and of Your faith in me, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior.
Receive me in Your Kingdom. I pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Now, those who are in different countries and have received Christ as their Savior on this occasion will ask: “When can you baptize me?”
Since you have believed in Christ as your Savior, you may be baptized at this time, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and bring forth the new birth in you.
Water baptism is typological. When a person receives Christ as their Savior, he dies to the world; when the minister immerses him in the baptismal waters, he is typologically being buried; and when he is raised from the baptismal waters, he is resurrecting to a new life: eternal life with Christ our Savior.
That is why water baptism is so important for everyone who receives Christ as Savior. It is so important that Christ Himself was baptized by John the Baptist. And John did not want to baptize Him. When he saw that Jesus went into the river, and it was His turn, He was in front of John the Baptist, who was baptizing the people who were coming repented. And he tells Jesus: “I have need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me?” And He did not want to baptize him. Jesus told Him: “It is becoming to us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he baptized Him. [Matthew 3:13-17]
And later, when Jesus sends His disciples to preach, after Christ had resurrected, in Mark, chapter 16, verses 14 to 16, says: “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.” It is as simple as that.
Christ is the One who commanded that everyone who heard the Gospel being preached and believed be baptized in water; then, Christ would send the Holy Spirit upon them and bring forth the new birth in those people; and that is how people are added to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is the way in which the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has grown from age to age, from century to century, until this end time, in which millions of believers in Christ who have already passed away from past ages are in Paradise, in the sixth dimension.
However, there is still a group of believers remaining, believers in the high part of the Dispensation of Grace, who have gone up to the most important age of all ages, because it is the age in which the promises of the Coming of the Lord and the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living and the rapture or catching away of the Church will take place.
And how do we know it will take place in our time, in our age? Because it did not take place in the past ages. By logic, we can know that the fulfillment of the resurrection was not for past ages, but rather for the Age of the Cornerstone; parallel to the Age of the Cornerstone which Jesus came to two thousand years ago.
Let us also be prepared for next Sunday’s Bible school so that God gives us His open Word and opens our understanding in order to comprehend; and thus grow spiritually in the knowledge of God and His Program corresponding to this end time.
It has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion.
I leave the minister in each country and each congregation with you to inform the people what they must do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, just as the apostles did. And here, I leave Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez to continue and conclude our service today.
May God bless you and keep you; and continue having a joyful evening filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
“THE REVELATION OF GOD THROUGH THE PROPHETS.”
