THE REVELATION OF THE WORD OF GOD IS BROUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
Rev. William Soto Santiago. Sunday, July 21st, 2013 – Cayey, Puerto Rico.
Thank you very much, Miguel. Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present, and those in other countries: ministers and their congregations. May the blessing of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon you all, and may He open the Scriptures and understanding and heart of you all to understand and to receive the Word of God on this occasion. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
We are living in the most important time in the history of Christianity and the history of the Jewish people and the history of the entire human family.
It is the time designated as the Last Day, where the prophecies that were not fulfilled in the past, are going to be fulfilled in this time called the Last Day; in which Christ Himself prophesying or teaching, revealing to them that believed in Him, His disciples, He says that in the Last Day He will carry out the resurrection of all believers in Him. John, chapter 6, verse 37 to 40, says:
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
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.
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.”
It is for the Last Day Christ has promised the resurrection of all believers in Him, who have died physically, and the transformation of those who are alive, so that everyone may have eternal, glorified bodies like His glorified body.
And now we read in II Peter, chapter 1, verse 19 onwards, up to 21. It says:
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
And the prophetic Word will be taught by the Holy Spirit, according to the words of Christ in John, chapter 14, verse 26, which says:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.”
And the next chapter, chapter 15, verse 26 to 27, says:
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”
And chapter 16, verse 12 onwards, says:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
Here we can see the promise that Christ, through the Holy Spirit that He would send to the believers in Him, will teach them all things. All things will be revealed to the believers in Christ.
It is important to know how is that Christ by His Spirit will teach you all things. First John, chapter 2, verse 27:
“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”
Here we have it also established, that it will be the Spirit of Christ sent to His Church, which is made up of believers in Him, the Holy Spirit is the One who will teach all believers. That’s why Revelation 22, verse 16 to 17 says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star.
The Spirit (there we have the One who will teach us) and the bride say (the Spirit, through which Christ in Holy Spirit teaches His Church, and the Bride, which has the commission of making it known to all mankind)…”
Because His Church is the instrument through whom everything would made known, everything that the Spirit would be speaking to His Church through the preaching of the Gospel from age to age, during the Dispensation of Grace.
There is a divine order through which Christ by His Spirit would teach His Church, and His Church would teach humanity. And that would be the revelation from God through Christ, through the Spirit of Christ in the midst of His Church, to speak to His Church and to the whole world. That is the revelation of the Word of God, which is brought by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the subject is:
“THE REVELATION OF THE WORD OF GOD IS BROUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.”
That is the theme of our Sunday Bible study; an important day in the history of the human family, and especially in the history of Judaism and Christianity.
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
We have had these Scriptures to clearly see about the revelation of the Holy Spirit to believers in Christ, and from the believers in Christ to humanity.
It is the same Holy Spirit from Genesis to Revelation-who would bring the divine revelation for the Dispensation of Grace, as He brought the divine revelation for the Dispensation of the Law and previous dispensations. The same Holy Spirit that also brought the divine revelation to Noah to build the ark, the same Holy Spirit that brought the divine revelation to Moses for the deliverance of the Jewish people, and It was the very same Holy Spirit that brought the divine revelation to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
It’s the same Angel of God, of whom Jacob said, blessing his grandchildren Ephraim and Manasseh: “The Angel which delivers me from all evil, bless these lads, these boys.” This is found somewhere in Genesis, chapter 48, verse 15 forward. It says:
“And he blessed Joseph (his son. How? By blessing Ephraim and Manasseh) …
“And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
It’s the same Angel of the Covenant from Genesis to Revelation, the same One who appeared to Adam. It is the heavenly body of God, the image of the living God, which is the heavenly body of Christ; it is Christ in His angelic body. And the physical likeness of God is Christ in His physical body which was born of the Virgin Mary, He had His ministry on Earth, died, rose glorified and is sitting at the right hand of God; and all power has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth.
That’s the physical likeness of God. In Him dwelt the fullness of the Godhead, the Divine fullness, the fullness of God. That is and will be the physical likeness of God: the glorified physical body of Jesus Christ; that’s why He is seated at the right hand of God.
And would God lose His power because He gave it to Christ? No, because God is in Christ, God is inside Christ glorified, and God is ruling through His heavenly body, which is within the physical glorified body called Jesus or Jesus Christ; that’s why He is seated at the right hand of God.
That means that all the power of God is manifested through Jesus Christ glorified, seated on the Throne of God; which is why He rules over all creation.
That was the battle in the days of Jesus; that was the battle between Christ and the devil. If the devil would win, then the devil through Judas Iscariot would sit at the right hand of the Throne of God, but if Christ would win, then God, in and within Christ, in whom He was, would ascend in that glorified body and would sit there in the heavenly Throne; and through that glorified physical body would rule all Creation, as He did through the heavenly body. It’s a mystery but it’s true.
And now, notice, in terms of revelation … Concerning revelation, it is important to understand that without revelation one cannot understand the Scripture, one cannot understand the Divine Program. Christ shows it in Matthew, chapter 11, verses 25 to 27. He says:
“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”
And how does He reveal it? Through His Spirit to all the people who have their names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
In Matthew, chapter 13, verses 10 onwards, after speaking of the parable of the sower, the Scripture says:
“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith,
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people’s heart is waxed gross,
And their ears are dull of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed;
Lest at any time they should see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And should understand with their heart,
And should be converted,
And I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”
And what did the prophets and the saints, and the righteous men, wanted to see and to hear? The fulfillment of the messianic promises given to Israel and the human family. They were eager to see the Coming of the Messiah, and the Lord’s disciples were granted such blessing, to see the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah and hear Him preaching, teaching what was prophesied that He would teach: “The acceptable year of the Lord.” it also says,” and the day of vengeance of our God,” which He did not teach, because He would be teaching that, in His Second Coming; that will be one of the identifications of the Coming of the Messiah for the Last Day.
He’ll be talking about the Day of vengeance of our God, in other words, He will be speaking of divine judgment that will befall the human race during the Great Tribulation, for three years and a half, and that will put an end to the kingdom of the Gentiles, which is found in the Last Day at the stage of the feet of iron and clay, according to the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had and the prophet Daniel interpreted, in chapter 2 of the book of Daniel, verses 30 to 45.
And the Stone cut without hands, which is the Coming of the Messiah, His Kingdom will grow and will fill the whole Earth, for the Kingdom of the Messiah will be a worldwide Kingdom with its capital in Jerusalem, in Israel there, in the city of Jerusalem, because that is the only city mentioned in the Bible as God’s city, the city of the King. So, it is the Eternal City, the only City of which God speaks as City of God, City of the King, and therefore eternal City, wherein the throne of the Messiah will be (also called the Throne of David, which was there in Jerusalem, to which the Messiah is heir).
That will be the greatest blessing for Israel, for the Scripture says that all nations will bring their wealth to Jerusalem, therefore, Jerusalem will become the city where the stock market will be, not only of Israel and for Israel but for all the nations: the global stock market will be in Jerusalem.
Now, the divine revelation, which is so important, the divine revelation of the Word of God, notice how It came to Israel. And so from Genesis to our time and for all eternity. Zechariah Chapter 7, verse 11 onwards, say, 11 to 12:
“But they (that is, Israel) refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.”
God becomes angered when He sends His Word through a prophet to mankind and they do not listen; and therefore the blessing that came in the Word to the people, and therefore for individuals, then that blessing is canceled and then divine judgment is decreed on those who do not listen to that Word.
That is according to Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 15 onwards, where it 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.”
Who does God say that people are called to hear? To the prophet that God would raise up from among the people, because the Holy Spirit comes to him, and speaks through him to the people; for the Holy Spirit brings revelation to the prophet, and the prophet anointed with the Spirit transmits it to the people. As simple as that.
Not to listen to the Message from God, which the prophet messenger brings, is not listening to God; and not listening to God brings the most serious consequences, as it was in the Garden of Eden: God said not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God transmitted it by His Spirit, by the Angel of the Covenant, to Adam, and Adam then taught it to his wife Eve.
Failure to obey that Word, not to give ear, not to be attentive to that Word, then the blessing that was in keeping such divine counsel, became a curse, if they did not obey. If they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would die. Then it would become a curse not to hear the Word of God through the Angel of the Covenant given to Adam, and Adam would pass it on to his wife Eve. Here it says:
“…According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb (that is, on Mount Sinai) in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.”
We read: “Jehovah” is the translation that they did to Reina Valera version [Spanish version] and other translations of Christianity. In Judaism they do not use the name Jehovah.
“And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
And now, where would God place His Word? In the mouth of a prophet like Moses. All the prophets God has sent prophets are like Moses on a smaller scale, but One will come, the Messiah, who is on a larger scale than that of the other prophets God has sent; He will be a Dispensational prophet, and that is fulfilled in the First Coming of the Messiah and the Second Coming of the Messiah for Christianity.
In His first Coming He has been preaching “the acceptable year of the Lord”, and in His Second Coming He will be preaching “the day of vengeance of our God,” revealing the divine judgment that will come during the Great Tribulation and announcing to the people to seek God, to prepare for the encounter with our God in the Coming of the Messiah, in whom God will be, and to be able to escape the things that are to come during the Great Tribulation on Earth, and to be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, at His Coming in the Last Day as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, as the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven with the Little Book open in His hand. Verse 18:
“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee…”
For this end time, a prophet like Moses is promised, and a prophet like Elijah. Malachi, chapter 4, verses 1 to 6:
“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”.
So, before He smites the Earth with a curse, that prophet must appear, the Elijah promised, who will be a man of the end time, with the spirit and power of Elijah, a man like the prophet Elijah, another prophet like Elijah; in whom will be the Spirit of God, and therefore, in him will be God’s revelation for him and for him to give it to the people.
Therefore, the Hebrew people will receive that revelation, they will hear that Divine revelation being given, being preached, and that revelation will impact the heart of Israel.
Israel knows it, the rabbis know that Elijah will come proclaiming the everlasting peace, permanent peace for Israel.
They can announce peace treaties to Israel, various politicians and religious leaders can speak peace to Israel, speaking peace to Israel through treaties, international human agreements, but Israel knows and rabbis know that this is a temporary peace which can be obtained through these agreements.
And Paul in First Thessalonians, chapter 5, said that when they say “peace and safety”, which indicates that they will achieve this temporary peace (and temporary peace is good while permanent peace arrives), and when they say: “Peace and safety,” sudden destruction will come, at that stage of temporary peace, then sudden destruction will come, which is linked to a nuclear World War III with all the other consequences it will bring, such as increase of earthquakes, erupting volcanoes, tidal waves, tsunamis, collapsing of many buildings in the big cities with those towers, the Scripture speaks of all that, and all the things that can be removed, will be removed.
Therefore, it is important to always hear, at the time the person lives, the Voice of God, the Voice of Jesus Christ, according to the order He has to speak to His people.
In the Old Testament, God by His Spirit, that is, through His Angel, the Angel of the Covenant, which is the heavenly body of God, spoke through the prophets. The prophets are to whom the Word comes: “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos, Chapter 3, Verse 7.
That is the divine order according to Amos, chapter 3, verse 7, according to Zechariah, chapter 7, verses 11 to 12, Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 15 to 19, and chapter 13, verse 1 onwards.
There is no other order established, besides the order of God. And it’s always only one prophet in each age (if for an age) and in each dispensation (if its for complete dispensation). ‘Two prophets, why does He never have? They are two heads, they think differently. We see in the case of Moses and his brother Aaron, and Miriam: they were not prophets, Aaron and Miriam, she was a prophetess, had a gift of prophecy to prophesy, but she was not a prophet, she was not the prophet of the Dispensation of the Law. And Aaron, God says to Moses: “He shall be your mouth; in other words, you will put the Word that I give you, you shall put into the mouth of Aaron, and he will speak what you tell him to speak; he will be a prophet unto you.” In other words, that Aaron was Moses’ prophet, and Moses was God’s prophet.
But one day Aaron and Miriam said: “Has God not spoken also through us?” So, they placed themselves as prophets, seeing that what they spoke was what God had revealed to Moses and Moses had passed it onto them.
Moses got into this problem because he asked for an assistant to speak for him; but Moses had the spiritual part, the political part in his hands, he was over Aaron, over Mary and over all Israel.
I told you that Aaron was going to be the mouth of Moses, let’s see: Chapter 4 of Exodus says, verse 10 onwards:
“And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue (stuttering).
And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.”
See? Aaron was going to be the mouth of Moses. What Moses had to speak to the people he would tell Aaron so that he would transmit it to the people, and he should do it without adding or taking away; and whatever God wanted Moses to tell Aaron, well, God revealed it to Moses. In other words, the transmitter of the Word of God, of the revelation of God to the people, was Moses, because he was the prophet for that new dispensation which was about to be open for Israel.
And therefore, Moses and the revealed Word he had, and he had to bring It to the people through Aaron, was the Light for Israel, for that new generation, for that new dispensation, the Dispensation of the Law. For the Word veiled in human flesh, as we see in Moses, was the Light for the Dispensation of the Law, was the Light to Israel. The Light was shining for Israel when Moses arrived there to Israel, when the people were in Egypt; for the Word made flesh for an age or dispensation, is the Light for that age or dispensation. That’s how the Light shines in the midst of the people.
It’s like when Jesus came into Galilee: The light was shining according to Isaiah, Chapter 9, verses 1 onwards, and that’s why Jesus could say in [St. John 8:12]: “I am the light of the world: he that follows me will never walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. “
That’s when the light shines, when the light illuminates: when the promised Word becomes flesh in the messenger for that time. At that moment the Light is already materialized, and what comes out is the brightness of that Light, which is the Message that enlightens the soul and the spirit, the mind of human beings; it is the Pillar of Fire in the messenger, revealing to him and speaking the Word through him, which is the Light for the human beings.
We have some writings of the Rev. William Branham, very important ones, showing us this mystery of the messengers and the Spirit of God working through them in the midst of Christianity.
On page 156, of the book “The Seven Church Ages,” which corresponds to the Age of Smyrna, in the middle of that page, it says:
“They add here or take away there, and soon the Message is no longer pure, and the revival dies.”
When the message comes to an age by the Spirit through the messenger of that age, when they add or take away from that message: the revival, the spiritual awakening for that stage, for that age of the Church, dies.
“How careful we must be to hear ONE Voice, for the Spirit has but one voice which is the voice of God. Paul warned them to say what he said, even as Peter did likewise. He warned them that EVEN HE (PAUL) could not change one word of what he had given by revelation. Oh, how important it is to hear the voice of God by way of His messengers!”
By way of the different messengers that Christ sends to His Church, to whom He brings, through His Spirit, the revelation for every age, in which each messenger lives.
“Oh, how important it is to hear the voice of God by way of His messengers!”
Therefore, one must hear the Voice of God, the Voice of the Holy Spirit that comes from God, from Christ, through the messenger that He has for that time.
“… And then say what has been given to them to say to the churches!”
We have another page here, very important. Let’s see what that message which comes from God does, from Christ through the Spirit to the messenger, and the messenger preaches it to the people. Page 241 of the Church Ages:
“As we have already stated, Jesus identifies Himself with the messenger of each age. They receive from Him the revelation on the Word for each period. This Word revelation brings the elect of God out of the world and into in full union with Jesus Christ.”
It brings them in full union; it places them in full union with His Church, the Mystical Body of believers, who form the Church of the Lord, that spiritual Temple, the House of God, the Family of God.
“These messengers are called stars because they shine with a borrowed or reflected light of the Son, Jesus. They are also called ‘stars’ because they are ‘holders of light’ at night. Thus in the darkness of sin, they bring the light of God to His people.”
See how the revelation comes? Through Christ in Spirit to the messenger pertaining to each age; the messenger brings the revelation to his age; they preach that Message, they bring It, and with that Message they bring out the elect from the world, the ones written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, who are the elect of God, and places them in the Mystical Body of believers, which is the Church; and with them he forms the stage of his Church, for each age. That is something very simple; which we’ve been seeing through the different stages of the Church.
And on page 209 of the book “The Church Ages” it also says:
“Now, since each of these messages is directed to the ‘angel’- (human messenger), a very great responsibility as well as a wonderful privilege is his lot. To these men God makes special promises, as in the case of the twelve apostles sitting in twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Then, remember Paul was given a special promise: that of presenting the people of the bride in his day to Jesus.”
And if Paul was given this promise, to each messenger in each stage is given the blessing and promise to present the group of believers that make up the Church of his age, which group emerged by means of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit bringing the Message and speaking the Message through that prophet, through that messenger in each age, and the people were listening and receiving that message, because the faith of Christ was born in their soul.
Notice, the same blessing and privilege and promise the apostles have: sitting on twelve thrones and the patriarchs also, which have the promise of sitting on twelve thrones. There are twenty-four thrones judging the tribes of Israel; and twelve of them, mainly, will judge the twelve tribes of Israel. The patriarchs will also work in the Kingdom.
And the messengers of each stage of the Church have a great privilege: so great that we lack the time to make it known, and has to do with the believers in Christ from among the Gentiles, because the Gospel turned, it went over, to the Gentiles, therefore, and it has to do with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and all the territories that the Gospel of Christ has covered, and therefore also, everything that has to do with the people who did not belong to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Jews back in Israel.
In other words, there is a great blessing to the messengers, but we’ll leave it there because there is still a very great revelation that has to do with the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, under whom these messengers will be subjected; and it has to do with the Kingdom of the Messiah, and with the part that will have millions of Gentiles in the Kingdom of the Messiah. And we will leave it there alone, for it is not convenient for now to talk openly about this subject; and as Jesus did in His day: He said that they would sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel, but did not explain much. When John and James wanted another additional position, Christ told them and their mother, that it was not up to Him to give it, but for those to whom it was ordained.
So that position is for someone in the Last Day, in the midst of Christianity, and therefore he will be the leader of the messengers of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ from among the Gentiles. I have already told you too much, so let’s leave it alone, quietly.
This is linked to the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion. And that is included in what the Rev. William Branham said that not even the angels knew when would be the day of His Coming, the day and time; and that which the Rev. William Branham said that he should not make it known.
Therefore, we have given out more of what was made known at that time, but up to here it is enough; the rest perhaps you will see it in its fulfillment, because one has to be watching the fulfillment; and then to match the promise with the fulfillment, and there we will have the two pieces together, and that’s how we identify all of that.
For example, the Coming of the Messiah in the Last Day is promised as it was the First Coming of the Lord, but there as Lamb and here as a Lion.
And the question is: How did they have to know Him there? Through the Word He spoke and He fulfilled at that time. He said: “If I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me; but if I do them, then believe. Though you do not believe in me, believe the works. “
In this book of “Quotations,” page 107, at the end of the page, and also other places, he says something that is very important to bear in mind so that it will not go over our heads that which will come to pass. And with this I think we will have enough in order to understand.
He tells us that the Messiah will always be in the Word. Like Christ, two thousand years ago, He always said: “It is written”, “Thus says.” He came to fulfill what was promised to the people. And therefore He, by fulfilling what was written, was identified as the promised Messiah; because that which is promised for the Messiah identifies the person, the Messiah, by fulfilling what is promised.
There is much to reveal and for people to receive revelation, to be prepared and not let it go over their heads, to miss the fulfillment of what is promised. And in order not to miss it, what do we need? We need the revelation from Christ for our time, as in each age the revelation of Christ by His Spirit through the messenger in whom He came, was required, and he preached it, taught it to the people. And those who were hearing that messenger were hearing the Voice of Christ through His Spirit, the Voice of the Spirit speaking to His Church through a veil of flesh called: the messenger of that age.
So it is for every age of the Church, including the Age of the Cornerstone; and therefore, the one who will be in the Last Day fulfilling what Elijah is promised to do, that is the promised Elijah; and he who will be fulfilling what is promised to a prophet like unto Moses, that is Moses, the Moses of the Last Day. And the Elijah of the Last Day: the one who will be fulfilling what Elijah has to do. And the Messiah of the Last Day you will see it later on here in Scripture, in that which the Spirit teaches for the Last Day. That which is prophesied from Genesis to Revelation.
And therefore, the elect will identify him by what he will be teaching the people. That’s how we will recognize him in the Last Day, that’s how he will be doing: he will be fulfilling that which was promised. He will not have to say that he is that messenger, but people will see him through what he will be doing and what was promised for that messenger to do, that is, Christ in Spirit to His Church through that messenger, what He would speak to His Church.
How shall we know in the Last Day? Because he will always be speaking according to the Word. He will be in the Word showing all that is in the Word, which God has promised for this end time; and thus also witnessing things that will come to pass in this end time.
We will then see the path of the Holy Spirit from Jerusalem or from Israel to this end time, and even more, from Genesis to the end time, and even more, since the Creation, and even more, from before the Creation, we can get even before the Creation because it was God through the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ, the Pillar of Fire, who created all things: “The Word that was with God and was God, and by Him were made all things, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” [John 1:1-5]
He is that power, that energy, that was before the Creation, from where all created things emerged: for the things which are seen were made of the things which are not seen.
That is nothing less than that particle of God that was discovered which existed before the Creation, science has discovered that, and that is Christ, from whom all Creation comes, God through Christ the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, created all things. That’s what the Bible says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
So now science has discovered it, and in Genesis, Chapter 1, it was already written: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”: The Origin of Creation. And it is explained in St. John, chapter 1, verse 1 to 18, it was God through the Word: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, by Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life.”
Therefore, life, all Creation, to come into life, was in Him. All Creation, including the entire universe with all the angelic beings and physical beings also, individuals, animals and so on.
The revelation of the Word of God, how is it brought? By the Holy Spirit. “He will reveal all things. He shall testify of me (says Christ). And ye also shall bear witness of me.” That is the Spirit of Truth, who will testify of the truth.
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
From age to age, the Holy Spirit in each messenger has been witnessing, teaching everything and reminding all things that Christ was saying. That was chapter 14, verse 26. And chapter 15, verse 26, says:
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”
In other words, we will know the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, because he will be testifying of Christ: Of His First Coming and the Work of Redemption on the Cross of Calvary, and of all things that are to come. He will also be prophesying, and will be showing that those prophecies are also in the Old Testament, therefore, he will expand all these prophecies; that is, the prophecy will grow, increasing the prophecy: the same prophecy of a subject increasing it, with more knowledge, more details.
In Chapter 16, of John also says, verse 12 onwards:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
So it has been from age to age, and in this end time the Holy Spirit will also be witnessing of things to come: the good ones to believers, and the bad one for the unbelievers; of blessings for believers in Christ and God’s judgment for unbelievers.
That is why we must be attentive to THE REVELATION OF GOD’S WORD BROUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT for our time, and seeing how He brought the Word revealed in the past, and seeing how things are promised to be revealed and to be fulfilled in this end time. The Holy Spirit will be speaking of these things to His Church, in the same way spoke He from age to age: through His various messengers, His various prophets.
“THE REVELATION OF THE WORD OF GOD IS BROUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.”
If there is someone who has not yet received Christ as Savior, you can do it right now, and we will be praying for you, for which you may come forward to pray for you.
And in other nations you may also come to the Feet of Christ to be included in the prayer that we will be doing for everyone who will be coming to the Feet of Christ on this occasion.
Children also, ten years and older, you can come to the Feet of Christ our Savior. Christ said, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” [St. Matthew 19:14]
There is no greater decision that the human being can make, but to receive Christ as only and sufficient Savior, that is the greatest decision that a human being can make, because that is the only decision that places the human being in eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. There is no other decision.
And the greatest thing a human being can receive is eternal Life. And Christ said:
“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 the Father are one. “
St. John, chapter 10, verses 27 to 30.
Therefore, eternal Life is the greatest thing there is for the human being. If temporary life we live in these mortal bodies is so important, how much more eternal Life!
This temporary life is a blessing from God for us to make contact with Christ, for Him to give us eternal Life, so we must make proper use of the time we live in, because no one knows when his life will end here on Earth.
And that is why when children are born we dedicate them to the Lord to ensure them in eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. In other words, from birth, and even since they are in the womb one prays for them, and when they are born they are presented to the Lord. We want to have them in the eternal Kingdom with us.
Now let’s pray for the people who have come to the Feet of Christ, wherefore we can stand on our feet, those in Puerto Rico and those in other nations, so that everyone is included in this prayer that we will making.
With our hands raised to Christ to Heaven, our eyes closed:
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ I come to You with all these people who have received Christ as only and sufficient Savior. I pray You receive them in Your Kingdom. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray.
Now repeat after me this prayer, those who have come to the Feet of Christ at this time:
Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the preaching of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my heart.
I believe in You with all my heart. I believe in Your first Coming and in Your Name. I believe there is no other Name by which we can be saved. I believe in Your first Coming as the promised Messiah, who died on the Cross of Calvary, in the Work of Atonement, of Redemption for the human being. I believe in Your death on the Cross of Calvary as the Sacrifice of Atonement for myself and for the human being. And I believe in Your Sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary as the Sacrifice of the Passover Lamb to take away the sin of the world.
I give testimony of my faith in You and Your faith in me, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior.
I beg You to forgive my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood from all sin, and baptize me with the Holy Spirit and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name, and produce in me the new birth.
I want to be born in Your Kingdom; I want to live forever with You in Your Kingdom. Make Your salvation You purchased for me and for every human being on Calvary’s Cross a reality in my life.
I pray in Your eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
With our hands raised to Christ to Heaven, we all say: TE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS CLEANSED ME FROM ALL SIN! THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS CLEANSED ME FROM ALL SIN! THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS CLEANSED ME FROM ALL SIN! AMEN.
And now you will ask me: “When can I be baptized? For I believed with all my heart, and Christ said, ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
In water baptism a person is identified with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. Water does not remove sin but the Blood of Christ. We must make that clear, in order to know that it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin.
When a person receives Christ as Savior, he dies to the world, and when the minister immerses him in the baptismal waters, typologically, symbolically he is being buried, and then when he rises him from the waters of baptism, he is being resurrected to a new life: unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. As simple as that is the symbolism of water baptism, which Christ commanded to carry out to all who receive Him as Savior.
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.” [Mark 16:15-16]
That’s why when He sent them to preach and baptize all who would receive Him as Savior. It is a commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ, which has been obeyed by all who have received Him as Savior from the time of the apostles to our time.
Even Jesus Himself was baptized by John the Baptist to fulfill all righteousness, and how much more we have need to be baptized! If Christ was baptized to fulfill all righteousness, how much more we have need to be baptized in water in His Name!
Water baptism as I already told you is typological, symbolic. Therefore, you can be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produce in you the new birth. And we will continue to see each other for all eternity in the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
You may well be baptized. I leave the minister here, Jose Benjamin Perez, to let you know how to do to be baptized, and in every country I leave the minister concerned, to do the same.
Continue everyone having a happy afternoon full of the blessings of Christ, and until next Sunday, God willing, where I will be with you in the way assigned for that day.
I leave the minister here present.
Good afternoon, and may Christ bless you greatly.
