Good morning, friends and brethren present and viewers. It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share with you a few moments of fellowship around the Program of God through His prophetic Word for this end time.
To all visitors from other nations, ministers and other brethren: Welcome, welcome on my behalf; and may God bless you greatly, and allow you, as well as all of us, understand the Program of God contained in His Word for this end time.
For which on this occasion I want to read two very important biblical passages, which are found in Matthew, chapter 17, verse 1 to 7, and Romans, chapter 8, verse 14 and on, where it tells us: Let’s read first in Matthew, chapter 17, verse 1 and on, it says:
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
And we turn to Romans, chapter 8, verse 14 and on, where it says:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our topic for this occasion is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND GOD’S MASTERPIECE.”
When it speaks of the Seventh Seal (in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1) it shows us that it is something so important and contains such a great mystery that its opening in Heaven caused silence for about half an hour. Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on, says:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
Now, we can see here that this Seventh Seal, contained in the Book sealed with seven Seals, which appears in Revelation, chapter 5, for this is the Lamb’s Book of Life… And now, notice, in Revelation, chapter 5, speaking to us about this Book, it says:
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”
Now, notice how this Book of the Seven Seals is so important that when no one was found worthy to take that Book and open those Seals, John cried a lot. Why? Because being the Book of Redemption, which contains the names of all who would be redeemed by the Lamb of God, if after that work is done by Christ, of Intercession, then that Book is not opened, all Creation was lost.
Now, notice, just as God commanded Moses to build a temple here on Earth, God has a Temple in Heaven; and that is why Moses was given a model in the mountain, where Moses was in another dimension; because Moses talking there with God was in another dimension, in a divine dimension, where the Scripture says, Saint Paul says that the Law was given to Moses and the Hebrew people by commission of angels1</sup>; in other words, that Mount Sinai was wrapped in a heavenly dimension, a divine dimension: There was God and there was a great manifestation from God, and angels of God were there present.
And now, we can see that what happened there on Mount Sinai is not just anything, but was something so and so great that the earth was shaken; and the Hebrew people were there trembling; and not just the Hebrew people, but the
messenger of God, the prophet Moses.
Saint Paul says that even the prophet Moses was fearful and trembling there. Let’s see where it tells us about the prophet Moses being on Mount Sinai… there it tells us about what was happening on that mountain; it says… in chapter 12 of Hebrews, verse 18 and on, it says:
“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest…”
Look how that mountain was; in other words, it was not something that was there quietly, but it was something terrible there, because God’s presence was there. It says:
“…And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)…”
And if the messenger was like that, how would the people be?
Now, the people were in such a condition there, seeing what was happening on the mountain, that they told Moses for God to no longer speak to the people this way; but for Him to speak to Moses, and Moses speak to the people. And God said to him: “They have said well.” Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 15 and on, 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;…”
Moses is telling the people this because God made it known to him.
And now, to whom are God’s people called (both the Hebrew people and the gentile church), to whom are the gentile Church and the Hebrew people called to listen? To the prophet that God sends them. And now here, see why:
“According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb 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 (the Hebrew people were trembling there).
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;…”
Where does God place His words? In the mouth of the prophet that He sends; and thanks to that we have the Bible, which has come through the manifestation of God in His prophets, both from the Old Testament and New Testament.
And now, we have seen where God places His Word. Therefore, every person, every child of God, has always wanted to hear the Voice of God; and now, through the prophet that God sends for every age or for every dispensation, the people of God hear the Voice of God.
When God sent His prophets to His people Israel, the Word of God was in the mouth of God’s prophets; and that is why God got angry with the Hebrew people on different occasions when God sent them His prophets and the Hebrew people rejected them.
God testified of this through the prophet Zechariah. Let’s see where Zechariah speaks to us about this: Chapter 7, verse 11 and on, tells us:
“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.”
Now see how the Word of God came: It says that It came through the prophets who were sent; and that was not the voice of a man, but the Voice of God through His Holy Spirit manifested through His sent prophets.
And now, let’s get here to what we were reading [Deuteronomy]:
“…and will put my words in his mouth;…”
Every person who wants to hear the Word of God for the age and dispensation in which he lives, well, he will have to understand that God has a messenger for every age and for every dispensation, a sent prophet; and He places His Word in the mouth and heart of that prophet, places His Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit speaks to His people through that prophet, brings the Word to the people. For “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God2”; and the mouth is God’s prophets, because He places His Word in the mouth of that prophet.
And now, what is a prophet? A prophet is a man sent by God with a Message for the people, for that age or dispensation in which he is sent; but a prophet is not only that. A prophet is a man with both consciousnesses together: With the conscious and subconscious together, which ordinary human beings don’t have; because every common human being has both consciousnesses, but separate one from the other, but when God sends a prophet for an age or dispensation, He sends him with both consciousnesses together; and therefore, even while awake, he can see in other dimensions and can hear the Voice of God, although people around them are seeing nothing and hearing nothing. This is how a prophet is designed by God.
That is why you can see throughout the Old Testament how prophets could even see God sitting on His Throne3. And any person could say: “And how can I do that too and see Him?” Not even with the the most powerful telescope the human race has today could a human see God on His Throne; and yet a simple man, who on some occasions had not even gone to a seminary or religious institute to obtain a doctorate in theology, however he could see God on His Throne, or he could see God walking in the midst of the Hebrew people. And how is that possible? Throughout the Scripture we have many cases where many people saw God walking in the midst of the Hebrew people. But we are going to finish here. It says:
“…and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
In other words, everything that God sends for an age or for a dispensation is placed in the heart and in the mouth of that messenger, and he speaks all that God commands for the people for that time.
“…and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
Now, there are always people who say: “No, I want to listen to God directly.” Well, look, God said that He would send a prophet, and He would place His Word in the mouth of that prophet. And those who didn’t want to listen to that prophet, what happened in the past? It says that great wrath came from God upon those people.
And now, what does it say here? Since every person has free will, every person is responsible for himself. He can’t say: “I don’t listen because my relatives or other people don’t listen”; no, it is something individual. Each person is responsible for himself, because each person has free will.
And now, the one who doesn’t want to listen to the Voice of God can’t be forced to listen to the Voice of God; but the one who wants to listen to the Voice of God, no person can stop him, and neither can he let people stop him from listening to the Voice of God.
Now we have seen where the Voice of God has always been for every age and for every dispensation.
And what will happen to the people who don’t want to hear the Voice of God in the time that they live in, through the messenger God sends for that time? Let’s see what God says; He says:
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
In other words, he will have to deal with God.
In the book of Acts, chapter 3, verse 22 to 23, Saint Peter quoting this passage says: “I will uproot him from the people.” In other words, he loses the right to belong to the people of God, and therefore loses the right to eternal life. And he deserves to lose that blessing. Why? Because he who doesn’t listen to the Voice of God while being here on Earth, would not hear the Voice of God in eternity.
If, when you need to hear the Voice of God to obtain eternal life…, as Christ said: “He that heareth…” Let’s see. John, chapter 5, verse 24, let’s see what it says here:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
That is for the one who hears the Word of God; but for the one who doesn’t hear It, then he remains (how?) in death. Because if by hearing the Voice of Christ for the time the person lives, the Voice of God, the person passes from death to life, then the human race, human beings are in death.
And the only way to pass from death to life is by hearing the Voice of Christ, through which the Program of Redemption is made known; and thus the person receives Christ as his Savior, washes his sins in the Blood of Christ and receives the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. And what has he obtained with that? Well, he has obtained the new birth.
And what is the new birth, of which Christ spoke to Nicodemus? Because Christ told Nicodemus that it was necessary to be born again. Chapter 3, verse 1 and on, says [John]:
“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (in other words, he can’t comprehend It, he can’t understand It).
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
Now, why is it necessary to be born again? Because, after the fall in the Garden of Eden, the human race fell into death, because the wages of sin is death4. And with Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden, the human race, the offspring of Adam and Eve, fell into death. And that is why the Scripture says that death entered the human race through one man or by one man5.
The human being, notice, was created to live eternally; but death entered because of sin, because the wages of sin is death.
Adam was a man with both consciousnesses together. That is why Adam was placed upon planet Earth as king of planet Earth. And you see, Adam talked with God; God visited him every day.
Now, how could it be that Adam was talking to God, and God was talking to him? Because Adam, being a prophet, could see into that other dimension: The sixth dimension.
There are seven dimensions. Light, time and matter are the first three.
The fourth is the dimension of the waves, where the radio and television are manifested; and we can’t see that dimension, but we know that it exists; and through that dimension is that we get the radio and television transmissions, but they have only discovered perhaps less than one millionth of that dimension.
Because that dimension has great riches for the human being, but for the time he is completely restored; because the human race at present, having full knowledge of the fourth dimension, would use it for evil. With what they already have, look: More harm than good has been done to the human race through television. And so on, we can see that the human being, with the blessings that God has given to the human race, has done more evil than good.
And why is this? Because after the fall, human beings have not been able to come with the two consciousnesses together anymore; except some people, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, who are the prophets sent by God.
And now, for a human being to come with the two consciousnesses together, he has to be a prophet for an age or for a dispensation.
And now, let’s see how it was that God began all things. It says John, chapter 1 and verse 1 and on:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
In other words, what Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1 says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” was the Creation of the Word, which was with God and was God; it was the Word who created all things.
In other words, God Himself in His theophanic body or body of the sixth dimension, who appeared to the prophets of the Old Testament on different occasions in the form of an angel, called the Angel of the Lord…, who appeared to Moses on Mount Sinai: While Moses was shepherding the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, this Angel, notice, manifested Himself in that Pillar of Fire, in that Light…; because the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, can manifest Himself in the form of that Light or Pillar of Fire or Shekinah, in which we also find Him in the tabernacle that Moses built, in the most holy place, upon the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim.
And now, we find that the Angel of the Lord, who appeared to the prophet Moses on Mount Sinai and sent him for the deliverance of the Hebrew people, He said to him6: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Why? Because the Angel of the Lord is the Lord Himself, is the same Word that was with God and was God.
And now, this Angel of the Lord has also appeared in the Old Testament in the form of a man, an angel, but from another dimension.
He appeared to the prophet Moses. Moses wanted to see God face to face, but God told him7: “Man shall not see me, and he shall live. I will pass before you; you will be placed in the cleft of the rock, and I will pass by proclaiming the Name of the Lord (that is, YHWH). And when I have passed over, I will take away my hand from over you or from your face, and then you will see my back.”
We also find Samson’s parents, who saw the Angel of the Lord. And Samson’s father said to his wife: “We shall die, for we have seen God face to face.” And the wife comforted her husband and said: “We are not going to die.8” Why? Look, they knew they were not going to die by only applying logic. Why? Because the Angel was promising them that they were going to have a child. And how is He going to promise them that they are going to have a child, and then they are going to die before they have the child? They were going to die, but when they reached the corresponding age when God would call them; but first they would have the child. And we don’t know how many years they lived after they had their son Samson. And they lived quite a few years, because they saw their son grow up too; so they were not going to die.
And now, how is it that God says: “Man shall not see me, and live,” and Samson’s parents say they saw God face to face?
And how is it that Jacob also says that he saw God face to face? Where does Jacob say it? He says it in chapter 32, verse (let’s see)… Verse 24 and on says [Genesis]:
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him (it was not a light, but a man) until the breaking of the day.”
This is type and figure, for the Last Day, of the Second Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the Messiah; and the heavenly Israel (which is the Church of Jesus Christ) and the earthly Israel (which is the Hebrew people) holding on tight to the Second Coming of Christ, to the Coming of the King of Israel, until receiving the blessing of total redemption and restoration.
“And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.”
But you know what? That it is better for a man to be crippled with the blessing of God rather than to be well without the blessing of God. And the problems one may have seeking the blessing of God are not comparable to the benefits those blessings will produce for the person.
“And he (the Angel) said, Let me go, for the day breaketh.”
So that was when dawn was already breaking. That means the fourth watch, which is the only watch that corresponds to morning time: From 6 to 9 in the morning. The fourth watch is the most important and it is the watch where the greatest blessings have come to the people of God, both the Hebrew people and the Church of Jesus Christ.
The Hebrew people is the earthly Israel; the Church of Jesus Christ is the heavenly Israel. One has to understand this in order not to have conflicts with the Hebrew people, and not to have conflicts regarding interpretations that will contradict biblical prophecies.
Just as in the midst of the Hebrew people there was the temple of Moses or built by Moses, and then the temple built by Solomon, and then the restorations that they made of the temple…; and there is also a Temple in Heaven.
The mystery of the temple built by Moses and of the temple built by Solomon is that in those temples the same wisdom was used that was used in the construction of the Temple that is in Heaven; and only God could give that wisdom, both to Moses and to Solomon.
What makes Solomon the wisest man is that he was able to build a temple here on Earth which represented the Temple that is in Heaven. Nothing else makes him look as wise as the Scripture says he was9</sup>; and we can say that he was wiser than people could ever imagine.
And now, so did Moses: He built a temple on Earth which was a type and figure of the Temple which is in Heaven. That is why what was done in that temple had such a meaning before God’s presence; and that is why, when of Aaron’s sons entered the most holy place with strange fire, they died there10: because nobody in the Temple that is in Heaven can enter there either with strange fire.
And what was type and figure here on Earth, notice, was here on Earth to reflect what was there in Heaven. In other words, the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built contained the types and figures of things that are in Heaven.
And now, God is on His Throne in Heaven. And in the temple of Moses and in the temple of Solomon, where was God? He was upon the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim, in that Shekinah, that is, the Pillar of Fire; that is God’s dwelling place or throne of God in the temple that Moses built and the temple that King Solomon built.
But now, Jesus once said in front of the temple: “Behold, one greater than the temple11” and “Behold, one greater than Solomon.12” And those were pretty strong words for that moment, for people who couldn’t understand what Jesus was talking about.
And now, you can no longer find Moses’ temple and Solomon’s temple either, but do you know something? A Temple has been built, a New Temple, which and of which the apostle Saint Paul testifies in his letter to the Ephesians, chapter 2, verses 19 and on (to not read too much); he says:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;…”
Which family do we belong to? To the Family of God. And how do we belong to the Family of God? Just as we have come to this Earth through dad and mom (our earthly parents), and we have come to belong to an earthly family, and we have obtained the last name of our earthly parents, and they have given us an earthly name as well, since we were born into that family…; but we were born into a family that fell, because that is a family that comes from Adam and Eve.
And that is why we have been born on this Earth, we have obtained a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, and have received into the body a spirit of the world, which inclines the human being toward evil. And that is why a new birth is required, where the person obtains a spirit not of the world, but from Heaven (and that is the Spirit of Christ), and thus he obtains a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; because the spirit of the human being is nothing else but a body from another dimension.
And when the person is born again: He obtains a body of the sixth dimension, of the dimension of the theophany, of the dimension of the Word; of the dimension in which and to which the body that appeared to the prophets of the Old Testament, called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of of the Lord belongs; which appeared on many occasions in the form of a man, in other words, a man, an angel, a man from another dimension, in other words, a man from the sixth dimension.
I told you that there are seven dimensions. The fourth, I told you is the dimension of the waves.
The fifth is a dimension to which no one wants to go and no one wants to know anything about it; but some, out of ignorance, are under the influence of that dimension. That fifth dimension is called hell, and nobody wants anything with that dimension; but that is the dimension that has been manifested the most on this planet Earth, because that is the dimension where the devil manifests himself and that is the dimension where those who die without salvation go.
And we have another dimension that everybody wants to go to: It is the sixth dimension, which is Paradise. That is the dimension to which saved people go, because they have a body of that dimension; it is the theophanic body, which is obtained with the new birth; because when the person is born again…
Just as when we were born on this Earth we obtained a spirit of the world (that is, a body of the fifth dimension), and we obtained a body of this earthly, mortal, corruptible and temporal dimension; when we obtain the new birth we obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, called the Spirit of Christ, which is given to us; and for the Last Day we will receive the eternal and glorified physical body, which is the second part of the plan of redemption.
When we have believed in Christ as our Savior and have washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit: We receive the first fruits of the Spirit, that is, we receive the spirit of adoption; of which Saint Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 30:
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
In other words, for the day when our bodies will be transformed, and thus we will have an eternal body.
That is the redemption of which Saint Paul speaks to us when he tells us about the glorious freedom of the children of God; because he says in Romans, chapter 8, that we will all be delivered. Chapter 8, verse 21 and on, he says:
“…Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit…”
What do we have? The first fruits of the Spirit, when we have received Christ as our Savior and washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ.
The sacrifices that were made in the Old Testament, there in the temple, are no longer needed, why? Because those animal sacrifices were the type and figure of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who would die on Calvary’s Cross and would cleanse us from all sin with His Blood; and that is why we find that those sacrifices are no longer required.
And now, let’s see how it continues to say; it says:
“And not only they (that is, not only her, not only the Creation), but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
The adoption is the redemption of our body. The redemption of our body is —for those of us who live— the transformation of our body, where we will obtain an eternal body: We will be changed in our atoms; and the dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies; and when we see them resurrected, then we will be transformed. That is why the intervention of that sixth dimension will be present in this end time.
And the saints that have departed are in the sixth dimension. You can see here, in the book of Revelation, that they are in another dimension and they glorify God, they speak. Why? Because they are in a body, but from another dimension.
That is the kind of body that God had when He appeared to the prophets in the Old Testament and they saw Him in the form of a man from another dimension. That is the Word that was with God and was God; because the Word, which was with God and was God, is God Himself in His theophanic body, in that theophanic body called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant.
And that is why the prophet and patriarch and man of God, Jacob, wrestled with that man from another dimension, and he overcame; and that is something great, that a man can overcome the Angel of the Lord.
Look, Jacob is the symbolism or the type or the…, he is the symbolism of a man fighting for the blessing of God. In Jacob, in his life you find all that a man needs to do to obtain victory.
Look, Jacob even from his mother’s womb he fought to be born first, for he was fighting (why?) for the Birthright Blessing. The Birthright Blessing has a double portion.
And now, notice. We have the portion of the first fruits of the Spirit in the Birthright Blessing, and the portion of the glorified and eternal physical body that we are to receive in this end time; but the first fruits of the Spirit is the theophanic body of the sixth dimension, that theophanic body of the sixth dimension which is like the theophanic body of God called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord.
Now, look, it continues to say [Genesis 32:26]:
“And he (the Angel) said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”
And that is the position for every child of God: To hold on to God every day of his life, to receive every blessing from God.
“And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.”
He wrestled with God and with men, and he won. He wrestled with Esau from his mother’s womb, but in the end he obtained the victory. He fought with his father Isaac, and won, and obtained Isaac’s blessing. He fought with his father-in-law there in Padanaram, and he won. And who was the one who lost? His father-in-law, Laban, his sheep or the sheep; the blessing of the sheep and the daughters came to Jacob.
And now, here he is receiving a blessing, which crowns Jacob as the overcomer.
If Esau had known the such great blessing that he was losing (or that he had before he lost it), a blessing not only for him but for all his seed… But we have to understand one thing: The Scripture says that God loved Jacob, and hated Esau13</sup>; and Saint Paul says that even before they were born, and even before doing good or evil14</sup>; in other words, it was already something since before the foundation of the world.
In God’s mind, for God, who was the firstborn? Jacob. Just as the first to be born is the firstborn, because the first one who was in God’s mind was (who?) Jacob. So he was the firstborn God’s mind, therefore he had the Birthright Blessing.
Just like all of the firstborn of God, written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world are the firstborn, because they are the first that God thought of; and He placed them in a special section of the Book of Life, called the section of the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And for those people all things work (for what?) for good. As with Jacob, all things worked together for good: Jacob’s problems became a blessing to him. And so, who is going to be protesting about the problems? Rather: “Lord, help me in this problem so that it may be a blessing to me, this stage that I am going through.” Jacob saw a blessing in every problem.
Like a canvas, a painting that the Reverend William Branham, who was in Germany, talks about; that when people went to that place where that painting was, to that museum, when they saw that painting from a distance, they saw a storm, a tempest; but when they got closer, they realized that it was angels flying and it was not a storm15. It was a blessing, but from a distance it looked like a storm.
And now, we find that the blessings for Jacob, notice, seemed like a storm to him, but he was getting closer to that blessing, and then he received the blessing. If you examine Jacob’s life well, you will find all these things, but you will find that he stood firm always seeking God’s blessing.
And now here, this blessing, which apparently is the simplest, is the greatest, because look: He came face to face with the Angel of the Lord. And this is what will happen with the Hebrew people, with Israel, the earthly Israel, and with the heavenly Israel in this end time: They will encounter the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, in human flesh in the Last Day, and they will hold on tight to the Angel of the Covenant; and that will be the Coming of the Messiah for the heavenly Israel and for the earthly Israel as well.
And now, let’s continue reading here; it says:
“And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.”
Samson’s parents also asked for the name of the Angel. Samson’s father said to Him: “Tell me your name, so that when what you have said is fulfilled, we may honor you.” But the Angel said to him: “Why do you ask for my name, which is hidden?,” and He left. And then they realized it was the Angel of the Lord, and said: “We shall die, because we have seen God face to face.”
And now let’s see what Jacob says here of this encounter he had with the Angel of the Lord:
“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel…”
Peniel means ‘the face of God.’ And since he had seen God there, the Angel of the Lord, he says:
“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.”
But he went, even though he was limping, with God’s blessing. And Jacob, when he blessed his grandchildren (and then, later on, his sons), Jacob says that the blessings he had received were greater than the blessings of his predecessors16, that is, of Isaac and Abraham.
Look, because of the victory Jacob won by fighting for the Birthright Blessing, the blessing Esau had, Esau lost it and Jacob obtained it.
Now, anyone, if they don’t read the Scripture with their eyes open, he doesn’t realize the great blessing that Jacob obtained. Notice, if Jacob had not obtained the Birthright Blessing, the territory of Israel, the promised land, would be of the offspring (of whom?) of Esau; and the exodus wouldn’t have been the exodus of the Hebrew people, it wouldn’t have been the exodus of the offspring of Jacob, but it would have been the exodus (of whom?) of the offspring of Esau.
Because the promise was that the descendants of Abraham, the seed of Abraham would be enslaved in a foreign land17</sup>; but God didn’t tell him there (He kept that a secret) about that descendants and the whole line, He didn’t mention the names. Therefore, of the seed of Abraham through Isaac, and of Isaac, who had two sons: That seed of Abraham which would be captive in a foreign land and which would be set free or liberated would come through one of them.
But all that was in secret, because God keeps many things in secret so that His Program is not interrupted; because there are many copiers, who try to imitate the Program of God. And another thing: The devil always tries to destroy the Program of God, because he is the enemy of God. Therefore, we find throughout the Scripture that there are prophecies given, but there are no explanations until a certain time, for God to keep that whole Program secret, so that it is not interrupted.
For example, when God in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 15, said that the seed of the woman would be the one who would smite the serpent, the offspring of the serpent, on the head, He kept that secret; and then through the prophet Isaiah was that He said it would be through a virgin of the Hebrew people18, and then he said that this shoot, or stem, would be born from Jesse’s offspring19, which would be the Messiah; and through the prophet Micah, in chapter 5, verse 2, says that He would be born in Bethlehem of Judea. See?
As God sends prophets, the prophecy increases. The Scripture says that God increased the prophecy by sending prophets20, because through each prophet He gave a little more light about each of the prophecies. And when He was born in Bethlehem of Judea, all that prophecy was fulfilled that had been given from stage to stage, with a little bit of light in each of the occasions.
Now, there are people who want to see what God has promised, to see it with all the light, without yet being the time to see it with all the details; with all the light to see all the details of that prophecy.
Now, let’s look at Jacob and Esau. If Esau had not lost the Birthright Blessing, notice which people would receive the deliverance; and the prophet Moses would not have been the prophet of the Hebrew people; and the ministry of the deliverer for the descendants of Abraham would have been a descendant of Esau; and the promised land would have been given (to whom?) to the descendants of Esau; and every messianic promise to the inhabitants of the promised land would have been to the descendants of Esau.
And what does all this mean? That the descendants of Esau would have been the heirs of the promised land. And therefore the capital of the world wouldn’t be the capital of Israel, but the capital of Esau; Jerusalem wouldn’t be the capital of the Hebrew people, but the capital of the descendants of Esau. And the Messiah would be ruling in the future Millennial Kingdom with the seed of Esau, and not with the seed of Jacob. And the First Coming of Christ would have been fulfilled through a descendant of Esau, and not through a descendant of Israel.
Now look at all the things that are involved in the Birthright Blessing, which Jacob fought for and obtained.
And the world will be ruled during the Messianic Kingdom by the Messiah from Jerusalem, where His Throne is. What do you mean His Throne is there? Of course it is. His Throne is the Throne of David.
The Archangel Gabriel told the virgin Mary that His Father would give Him the Throne (whose?) of David21</sup>; therefore, the Kingdom of David will be restored. And that is why the Scripture tells us that Israel will seek David, their King David22</sup>; for they will receive the Messiah, who will sit on the Throne of David.
And now, look at all the blessings that are in the Birthright Blessing; and Jacob is the overcomer, who obtained those blessings for his descendants. That is why Jacob, during the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity, will have a very important position in the Kingdom of the Messiah; and Jacob’s sons as well; and also Joseph’s two sons, who came to be placed as tribes also.
Because the Birthright Blessing is a double blessing; therefore, Joseph obtaining the Birthright Blessing, which was cast upon Joseph when Jacob blessed Ephraim and Manasseh…
Now, you see, we find that Joseph has two tribes, Joseph has a double portion. Why? Because he has a blessing, which is the Birthright Blessing, and that double portion is his. That is why there is the tribe of Manasseh and there is the tribe of Ephraim; but when we speak of the tribe of Joseph, then we speak of Manasseh and Ephraim. That is, the tribe of Joseph is composed of two tribes: Ephraim and Manasseh; he has a double portion of tribe.
And see how Jacob had a prophet son, who was Joseph; and therefore the Birthright Blessing had to be passed on (to whom?) to Joseph. And you know what? That although at first glance it doesn’t look that way, it is how I am going to tell you: The firstborn of Jacob is Joseph.
What do you mean it is Joseph, if Reuben was the first? How can it be possible that Joseph is the firstborn, if Reuben was the born first? Let’s see.
When Jacob worked seven years for one of Laban’s daughters, which one did he work for? For Rachel. And when he was married, who did he marry? Rachel. He was cheated, his father-in-law, that was the father-in-law’s problem; because the promise for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Jacob’s descendants is: “He who curses you will be cursed, and he who blesses you will be blessed.23”
In other words, everything that is done against the descendants of Abraham will turn against the person, people, nation that does it; and a blessing is what will come for the person, for the descendants of Jacob; but for the person that does something against the descendants of Abraham, it will be a curse for that person, people or nation.
If nations knew that, they would have the Hebrew people in the palm of their hands and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the heavenly Israel; but they have not been able to understand that, and that is why they have persecuted the Hebrew people (and tried to exterminate the Hebrew people), and they have also persecuted the Church of Jesus Christ in past ages.
And that requires the divine judgment upon the human race, which will come and which is called the day of vengeance of our God; the day that will burn as an oven that is to come, of which Malachi spoke, chapter 4, verse 1 and on, where it says:
“…For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up (that is, burn them), saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
But for those who fear the Name of the Lord, it says:
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…”
When one speaks of the birth of the Sun of Righteousness, one is speaking of the Second Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the Messiah; one is speaking of the Coming of the Messiah for the Last Day, because He is the Sun of Righteousness.
In His First Coming He said24: “I am the Light of the world,” and He continues to be the Light of the world. He is the Sun of Righteousness that in the Last Day will be born; He will first appear to the heavenly Israel, which is His Church, and to the earthly Israel, which is the Hebrew people.
And now, what was the Coming of the Messiah two thousand years ago, the First Coming of Christ? The prophet Malachi tells us what the Coming of the Messiah was two thousand years ago. Chapter 3 of Malachi tells us:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me…”
That was John the Baptist, who came with the spirit and power of Elijah.
When God promises the coming of a prophet who came in the past and had his ministry, we find that it is the ministry of that prophet in another man; which comes with another name as well: He doesn’t have to come with the same name as he came on his first occasion.
The ministry of Elijah is promised to be manifested five times on Earth: Elijah the Tishbite, Elisha…
When the sons of the prophets saw that Elisha opened the Jordan with the Elijah’s mantle, as Elijah had done, they said25: “The spirit of Elijah rested on Elisha.”
It is very important to identify the spirit of Elijah, the ministry of Elijah, when it is manifested on Earth in the man sent by God for that time; and those sons of the prophets identified it manifested (where?) in Elisha.
And the third time that the ministerial spirit of Elijah came manifested on Earth in human flesh was in John the Baptist. Christ said: “He is that Elijah who was to come, if you want to receive him.” Chapter 11, verse 14, of Matthew; and chapter 17, verse 10 to 13, of Matthew as well.
And the Archangel Gabriel said to Zechariah the priest that this son that he would have, would be named John, and he would come with the spirit and power of Elijah26</sup>; that is, he would come in the spirit and power of Elijah, that is, in the ministry of Elijah and with the same spirit that was in Elijah. And what does that mean? It was the Holy Spirit that was in the prophet Elijah, and now the Holy Spirit would come in a man forerunning the First Coming of the Messiah: The Holy Spirit would come manifested in John the Baptist.
Didn’t the Archangel Gabriel tell the priest Zechariah that this child would be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb? And when Mary visited her relative Elizabeth, when she heard Mary’s voice, Elizabeth, the child that was in Elizabeth’s womb, leaped of happiness, of joy, in Elizabeth’s womb27. See? There he was filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb; and he prepared the way for the Messiah. (And now…). He was his cousin. And then, when He began His ministry, he also recognized Him: He saw the Spirit of God upon Jesus when he baptized Him28.
And now, it says [Malachi 3]:
“…and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple…”
The Hebrew people in the temple, who were they looking for? The Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That is the One who will come, according to this prophecy, to whom this prophet forerunner, who was John the Baptist, would be preparing the way.
“…even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Who would come? The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the one who appeared to the prophet Moses and sent him for the deliverance of the Hebrew people. Because God always uses a man, places His Word in the mouth of that man and manifests Himself through that man: He veils Himself in human flesh in a man and reveals Himself through that man, and carries out His Work relevant to that time through that man.
That is why we find that all that Moses did was the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, through Moses; but it was through human flesh manifested in the prophet Moses; because a man can’t do the things that the prophet Moses did, but God through a man can do them. That is why it is also said that it was God who delivered the Hebrew people and carried them on the wings of an eagle to the promised land29.
And now, when the fulfillment of this promise came, what was it? It was the coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word that was with God and was God and who created all things; and John says in chapter 1, verse 14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
The Word made flesh, the Angel of the Covenant made flesh. The Angel of the Lord, the same God with His theophanic body of the sixth dimension, now taking a body of flesh in this dimension: Dressing Himself as a man, appearing in the form of a prophet here on Earth; because the Messiah in His coming must always be a prophet. And that is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but dressed in a veil of flesh.
When God created Adam, He first created a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, equal to the theophanic body that God had, which is a body similar to this body of ours that we have here but of the sixth dimension.
And now, we discover —throughout the Scripture— that the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth, the Creation of the entire universe, which science seeks (seeks the origin of Creation); it says: “And that Word, which was with God and was God,” says that through Him were made (what?) all things. There you have the origin of Creation. And He became flesh and dwelt among us, and we knew Him by the name of Jesus of Nazareth. He was none other than the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in other words, God Himself with His theophanic body inside a body of flesh.
That is why, when Jesus once was speaking certain things, and they tried to stone Him, He asks: “And now, for which of the good works that I have done in your midst do you want to stone me?” They say: “We do not stone you for good works that you have done, but for the blasphemy that you, being a man, make yourself God.30” But it was the other way around. If one misinterprets things, one can’t understand them.
They said: “You, being a man, make yourself God.” But the right thing was: Being God, being the Lord, being the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Angel of the Covenant, became man and dwelt among human beings; the Word became flesh, became man. But they said: “No, you, being man, make yourself God.”
Jesus was not making Himself God. He, being God, became man and dwelt among men: He dressed Himself in a body of flesh in the midst of the human race, to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross; because the only one who could carry it out was God Himself putting on the garment of man and appearing as a human being in the midst of the human race. But because He had to carry out that Work of Redemption, He had to blind the Hebrew people, so that the Hebrew people wouldn’t see that He was the promised Messiah; He was their God, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
If the great rabbis and the high priest had recognized Him, they wouldn’t have crucified Him, they wouldn’t have crucified Him, because they were expecting Him; but He had to die. This was represented when Moses struck the rock and gave water to the people; he struck it with the rod on that first occasion, that first rock31.
On the second occasion when he had to speak to the rock to give water (in another territory), and he smote the rock, God was displeased with Moses, was angry with him, and said: “Now you will not enter the promised land, because you did that, which I didn’t tell you to do.” God said: “Speak to the rock.32”
The rock is Christ, it represents the Coming of the Messiah; and the First Coming of the Messiah had to be smitten; and that is why God told him to smite the rock with the rod, because that represented the crucifixion of Christ to give the Water of eternal life.
But the Second Coming of Christ is not for a second crucifixion. But because Moses broke the type and figure there, he had serious consequences and couldn’t enter the promised land in his physical body; but he did enter in his theophanic body. That is why we see him on Mount Transfiguration, there with Jesus and Elijah33.
And now, for the Last Day, a second physical crucifixion can’t take place, because it has already taken place back then for redemption, to take away our sins. But because Moses did that there, which displeased God, at the Last Day, the gentiles… Just as the Hebrews asked for the death of Christ, and the gentiles, the Roman empire pleased the Hebrew people and crucified Christ; for the Last Day the Second Coming of Christ will receive a second crucifixion, although not physical, but spiritual; because the type and figure was established there, and it has to be fulfilled.
Therefore, those who will rise against the Second Coming of Christ, against the Coming of the Messiah for the Last Day, and will speak against the Second Coming of Christ, and will fight against the Second Coming of Christ, will be guilty of the second crucifixion; they will be accused of a second crucifixion before God, because they will be doing the equivalent of what they did there in the First Coming of Christ, the Hebrew people.
And that is why, just as the divine judgment came upon the Hebrew people for asking for the crucifixion of Christ and saying: “His blood be on us, and on our children”… Instead of just saying only upon them and not upon their offspring, they asked for it upon all their offspring, and the divine judgment fell upon all their offspring, and Hitler almost exterminated the Hebrew people.
But by God’s mercy and the promises given to the father of faith, Abraham, God’s mercy was extended over the Hebrew people, and those days of great tribulation for the Hebrew nation, for the descendants of Abraham, were shortened; because otherwise no flesh would be saved, if that persecution, that Holocaust against the Hebrews continued; and we wouldn’t have for the Last Day, for this end time, 144,000 Hebrews, who are promised in the Bible, who are chosen of God from among the Hebrews, 12,000 from each tribe34.
If Hitler continued, he would exterminate the Hebrew nation. And then where would the 144,000 Hebrews come from? So God’s mercy, because of His love for the fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the promises given to them, stopped that great tribulation that came upon the Hebrew people.
The Hebrew people, since they no longer have sacrifices for sin: Not having the temple (neither Moses’, nor Solomon’s, nor the one they had in those days of Jesus) and not having the sacrifices for sin (of the atonement of the goat and other sacrifices, which were counted before God)…
And why and what did these sacrifices do? Since they were type and figure of Christ and His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross, being the type and figure, the shadow: With the blood of those sacrifices the sin of the people who made those sacrifices in the right way, established by God to the Hebrew people, was covered.
And that is the secret of those sacrifices and also of the temple of the Hebrew people: Their sins were covered (not removed, but covered), and the reconciliation for the Hebrew people came on the day of atonement. If that sacrifice of atonement was not carried out, the divine judgment would come upon the Hebrew people; but it was to be reconciled with God and their sins to be removed, that is, to be covered before God’s presence.
And no other nation had the divine revelation of that mystery of those sacrifices, and of Moses’ temple and of Solomon’s temple, and of the temple established in the midst of the Hebrew people.
It is that all that is type and figure of things that would be in Heaven, with the Sacrifice of Christ making intercession there in Heaven for all those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
But when Christ already came, the Sacrifice of Christ doesn’t cover sin, but takes it away. Therefore, you are not going to cover your sin, but you want to take away your sin; and with the blood of a little animal you can’t take it away: It is with the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
Therefore, sacrifices of little animals are no longer needed, and they don’t need the temple either, to carry out all those things. Already, since Christ ascended to Heaven it has been in function, in the Temple that is in Heaven, all that was done in the temple in the midst of the Hebrew people when the high priest entered the most holy place with the sacrifice of atonement.
And Christ has been (since He ascended to Heaven) in the Temple which is in Heaven, there in the Most Holy Place, in that work of intercession as High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek.
In other words, it is a Priestly Order of the Temple that is in Heaven; and this Order was reflected in the order of priests of the temple in the midst of the Hebrew people: It was reflected on that Levitical priesthood and that of the high priest by the descendants of Aaron; but now, for the Temple that is in Heaven, that order doesn’t work, but that of Melchizedek.
And He has been doing the same as the high priest did here on Earth in the temple built by Moses and in the temple built by King Solomon, and in temples that came later, in restorations made after Solomon’s temple was destroyed.
Now we can see the mystery of Moses’ temple, of Solomon’s temple. The order of priests, for it represents the Order of the Priesthood of Melchizedek there in Heaven.
And you know what? The redeemed ones by the Blood of Christ (who have believed in Christ as their Savior, have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit): They have received the first fruits, they have been born again. And now those are priests, kings and priests of the Order of Melchizedek, of that New Order that God will have on this planet Earth in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of the Messiah; and that is the Order that has to do with the Temple that is in Heaven.
And now, we can see that Melchizedek, who is the same Angel of the Lord; Melchizedek, who appeared to Abraham and gave him bread and wine, and Abraham paid Him tithes… Saint Paul says that when Abraham paid Melchizedek tithes, Levi was also paying tithes there35. Why? Because he was in Abraham’s loins.
And when Christ died, we were also in Christ; when Christ resurrected, we were also resurrecting with Him; and when Christ ascended to Heaven, we were ascending with Him to Heaven. In other words, us being in Christ, we have passed —before coming to this Earth— through those processes through which or stages through which He has passed.
And now He gives us of His Spirit, He gives us His Holy Spirit, and thus He gives us a theophanic body, a spirit of the sixth dimension, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension. And where was that theophanic body? Well, it was in the theophanic body of Jesus Christ.
And how can that be? Well, just as Isaac was, and Jacob was, and Levi was, and the twelve tribes were, and all the Hebrew people were in the loins (of whom?) of Abraham.
Because the children are in the loins of their father; and in the loins of God, in the loins of the divine thoughts, as a divine attribute, there we were, and we have been manifested here on Earth.
Now, the theophanic body belongs to the sixth dimension; but there is another dimension, which is the seventh dimension: That is God’s dimension. And from that dimension, you see, God descended, being with His theophanic body, He created His theophanic body, which came out from Himself; and now God with His theophanic body has a body of the sixth dimension.
When He appears in the sixth dimension, we see Him in the form of an angel, a man; and that man is the one who created all things, created the entire universe. So a man from another dimension, from the sixth dimension, was the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. But that man is God Himself in His theophanic body, which later created Himself a body of flesh: Creating a cell of life there in Mary’s womb, which multiplied cell upon cell and formed the body of Jesus; and God dressed Himself in human flesh to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross.
Now see who has been since Genesis moving from stage to stage.
And now, Jacob saw God face to face, Moses also saw Him (the Scripture says that God spoke to Moses face to face)36, and so did Samson’s parents. And Joshua also saw Him with a sword in His hand, and he said to Him: “Are you one of us, or are you one of our enemies?” And He said to him: “I have come as Prince of the heavenly hosts, of the hosts of the Lord.37” There He was in the form of an angel, there He was the Angel of the Lord, it was God Himself in His theophanic body.
And now, see how at different times He was seen; but then He was seen in human flesh, became flesh, and was seen with the name of Jesus.
That is why you can see that all the things Jesus did no man could do; it had to be God Himself dressed in human flesh. And it was God Himself dressed in human flesh that carried out the Work of Redemption, because no other man could carry it out; and God had to become man to carry out that Work of Redemption.
Remember that it is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, God Himself who descended from the seventh dimension and made Himself His theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is a body similar to ours but of the sixth dimension.
That is the kind of body we received when we obtained the new birth; and that is the kind of body where the saints who have already departed are. And soon we will all receive an eternal and glorified body, those of us who are living and also those who have departed, but have received Christ as their Savior and have been born again; and then we will have an eternal body; and death will no longer exist for us. It will continue to exist for others who will not have that eternal body.
During the Millennial Kingdom of the Messiah there will be people living in these mortal bodies, and that is why the Scripture in Isaiah says that the child will die (of how many years?) of 100 years38.
A person who dies in the Millennial Kingdom of 100 years is a child; and a person who dies of 100 years in this time is a little old man, which a person can hardly reach 100 years today. Most people leave almost always in their 70s or 80s, and others leave a little earlier if they don’t behave very well; for the promise is, also, that God will lengthen the days for His children, who keep His commandments, fulfill His Word, and fear God39.
Now, we can see that there is a Divine Program; in other words, it is not of the one who wants or of the one who runs: God has already programmed everything. If God didn’t have it all programmed, if He didn’t have it all programmed, He would be a God that wouldn’t have…, that His Work wouldn’t make any sense.
How are we going to say that God is working and He doesn’t have a Program to carry out? But God has a Program since before the foundation of the world in His mind; there is His Program, there is the Blueprint of everything He will carry out. And He, what He does, He does according to His Program. So He is working according to His Program.
And those who have the blessing of having their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, have the blessing and privilege of belonging to the firstborn of God, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life in Heaven. Those are the ones of whom it says that all things work together for good: For those who have been predestined by God, those whom He chose before and called, those whom He predestined before and since before the foundation of the world.
And you see, according to the Program of God He is calling and gathering His children from age to age. That is why He said: “He that is of God hears God’s Voice40” and “My sheep hear my Voice, and they follow me.41” If He says “my sheep,” then they are His, and He says that the Father gave them to Him; and He says that no one takes them away from His Father’s hand.
And Christ also says42: “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not sow will be uprooted and cast into the fire.” So there are people in all times, from age to age and dispensation to dispensation, who have not been sown by God, and there are people who have been sown by God. How can this be? Simple.
Christ speaking in the parable of the wheat and the tares said that He had sown wheat, but that an enemy of His sowed tares in the field; and He said that the tares are the sons of the evil one, the sons of the devil, and He said that the wheat are the sons of the Kingdom43. In other words, we can’t deny that there are children of God and there are children of the devil.
The children of the devil are those that the heavenly Father didn’t sow, and the children of God are those that the heavenly Father sowed; and those are the ones… Those that the heavenly Father didn’t sow are the ones that will be burned up in the day burning like an oven that will come44, which will be a time called the great tribulation, which will last three and a half years, where radioactivity will be unleashed, which is already stored and only needs to be unleashed; and it will be unleashed in some way.
If you read the prophecies of Zechariah, and also of Isaiah and other prophecies, which speak of that divine judgment to come, you will notice that that judgment to come will cause people’s flesh to fall off and people to become blind45</sup>; and that is done by radioactivity. That is a plague, a divine judgment that will come upon the human race.
But, remember, there will be territories on planet Earth that will escape from those divine judgments; and we will talk about it some other time.
Now, we also have volcanoes. So nations that have radioactivity destroy, and nations that have many volcanoes, well, they will restore; because volcanoes in eruption will emit volcanic lava and also ashes, and ashes will cover the Earth, and even the desert will flourish46, because with volcanic ash the whole land will become fertile and everything that is sown will grow. So deserts, many deserts, will be converted into fertile territories, because volcanic ash will cover them, and they will stop being sterile and arid places, and will become productive places for those who will be living in the Millennial Kingdom.
And we also pray for Latin America and the Caribbean, that they may escape those divine judgments. Latin America and the Caribbean don’t have to get into a Third World War, which will be atomic, because it is not prepared in that way; therefore, they don’t have to throw atomic bombs at Latin America and the Caribbean. So we pray for Latin America and the Caribbean, that it may remain in that condition.
Even if they say that Latin America and the Caribbean is an underdeveloped territory; but it is better to be underdeveloped, and that divine judgments don’t fall upon our territory, than to be developed (with atomic weapons); and that in a Third World War (which will be atomic), the same thing they send, they receive back. If they send atomic bombs, well, they will not send candy bombs; they will send atomic bombs too.
So, those who are prepared like that, let them manage over there. They are going to destroy themselves with those nuclear equipment, and the common saying among people, which says “he who plays with fire (what?) gets burned” will be fulfilled. So they have been playing with atomic fire and now they are trembling, because at any time one of them can get away with it; and that is very dangerous.
But may God care for, may God protect, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Israel, which is the territory where the Throne of the Son of David, the Messiah, will be established to reign over the Hebrew people and over all nations.
Now, the Seventh Seal, which caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour, what contains is the secret of the Coming of the Messiah, of the Second Coming of Christ, of which Christ said nobody knew the hour or the day, neither the angels nor even the Son; because when Jesus was on Earth, this mystery had not been revealed either to the angels or to Jesus.
And how can it be possible that Jesus, being the God incarnate, the God made flesh, didn’t know that mystery? He prophesied about the Coming of the Messiah for the Last Day, about the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, but He didn’t know the day and the hour, He didn’t know that mystery. And how can that be possible? He said: “Not even the angels” and He also said: “Not even the Son knows when it will be.47”
And being the God incarnate, the God manifested in human flesh, how could it be possible that He didn’t know that mystery, even though He prophesied of that mystery? Because that mystery was hidden in God’s mind; God was in Him manifested there…
Jesus said to Philip: “Have I been with you so long, Philip, and yet you have not known me?,” when Philip said: “Show us the Father, and it is enough for us.48” And now, He also says49: “The Father and I are one.”
And now, how is it possible that He didn’t know that mystery? It is because it had not come out of God’s mind into the consciousness of Jesus; just as each of you has in your subconscious many things that you don’t know; that is, you are not aware of things that are in your subconscious.
Now, many years ago, how many of you knew that you were chosen, firstborn of God? You didn’t know; but that was in your subconscious, sealed by God there. But now, when you already know that you are firstborn of God, written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, you now know that within you there was something, deep within you (that is, in the soul), which you didn’t understand, but you knew that there was something there from God. And it is that you are a part of God in your soul, as I am too.
The most important thing about human being is the soul. The human being is body, spirit and soul. The body has five senses, the spirit has five senses and the soul has only one: Free will, to believe or doubt, to be a believer or to be an unbeliever in God and His Word.
And now, God changes with the new birth…: Those souls that come from God in these mortal bodies and with a spirit of the world, He changes them: He produces a new birth and gives them a new spirit.
He promised that He would give us a new spirit50</sup>; it is His Spirit, a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension. And for the Last Day He will also give us a new body, an eternal and glorified body. And thus we will be restored and thus we will be adopted as sons and daughters of God in the Kingdom of God; with all that Adam and Eve lost restored in and to us at the Last Day, in the restoration of all things; which begins with the restoration of all the sons and daughters of God to eternal life with an eternal body, in other words, the restoration of all things in the physical part, promised for this end time.
And all those things are promised to be carried out in this end time. And who has promised them? The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is the same God, which we find in His theophanic body as the Angel of the Lord and then we find Him in human flesh as Jesus; but within that body of flesh is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who had to physically die. His theophanic body didn’t die on Calvary’s Cross, but His physical body, to carry out the redemption.
He had to be rejected and crucified, and thank God for that!
If the Hebrew people as a nation received Him at that time and the high priest proclaims Him the Messiah, the human race had to continue to live with mortal bodies for all eternity, and they would come to live a number of years here on Earth and then die; and the devil would continue to live for all eternity as well.
Do you remember that the devil offered the kingdoms of this world to Jesus; and He didn’t want them? Why? Because the devil was trying to take part in the Kingdom of God and place himself as the head of the Kingdom of God. If Jesus accepted the proposal of the devil…
Look, what did the devil say to Jesus? That He had to bow down before him and worship him51. Therefore, that means that the Messiah would be the devil’s instrument, where the devil would be incarnated and through whom the devil would be manifested; and the religion that would be established in that kingdom would be the devil’s religion. All of that was entailed in what the devil offered Jesus; and the human race would still be a sinful and mortal race, and the devil would live eternally.
And now, Jesus wouldn’t receive the Kingdom of this planet Earth for the Millennium and for eternity without carrying out His Work of Redemption, so that His Kingdom would be, not a kingdom of sin, but of justice, peace, holiness, love and prosperity, and fear of God and knowledge of God, where God will be the only one that will be worshipped.
“And the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 14; and Isaiah, chapter 11, verse 9.
Now see how Jesus gave Himself, His physical body, to carry out that Work. Thank God that the Hebrew people rejected Jesus as the Messiah and King, and asked for His death, and He died on Calvary’s Cross.
That is why, although those who asked for the death of Jesus there said52: “His blood be on us, and on our children,” Jesus said53: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
And that forgiveness will fully materialize in this Last Day, for the restoration of the Hebrew people as a nation and as the capital of the world, as the head nation of all nations: Jerusalem the capital of the world, and the territory of Israel the Federal District, where the Messiah will be ruling and from where all teaching in all fields will come out for the human race. The main teaching is religious and spiritual, and then all other teachings covering all human beings in their daily life.
The Law and the Word of God will come from Jerusalem54, from the midst of the Hebrew people, because the Throne of the Messiah will be there; and there will be 144,000 Hebrews as eunuchs, as the eunuchs in the palace of the kings; and there will be the elect of God, the firstborn of God, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, from among the gentiles and also those who from among the Hebrews have received Christ as their Savior, have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit, and therefore have received the new birth; because the Church of Jesus Christ is composed of Hebrews and gentiles. And those are priests of the Order of Melchizedek, because they are children of King Melchizedek, of Jesus Christ, they are children through the new birth.
There are people who say: “How good it would have been if Jesus had married and had children.” But you know what? That the man, the person who has had the most children is our Lord Jesus Christ; but not through the union of Him with a woman, but through the new birth. Through the new birth He is bringing forth sons and daughters of God to live eternally; and the same original order, of divine creation with eternal life, is the one that Christ has been using for the children that He is bringing into existence.
The original form for a person to appear on this planet Earth with eternal life was the form that God used for Adam: Giving him a theophanic body of the sixth dimension first, and then giving him a physical body in this earthly dimension. And now Jesus Christ…
Notice, since (after the fall) human beings have been coming without passing through the sixth dimension to take a theophanic body, they have been born on this Earth and have taken a physical body and a spirit of the world, without passing through the sixth dimension; therefore, they have come as mortals; but the soul of the children of God, even though they are in mortal bodies, the soul is immortal: It comes from God. And that is why the Program of God is manifested from age to age for the salvation of those souls of God.
And for the Redemption Program of Christ, with eternal life and for eternal life, Christ through the new birth gives us first the theophanic body and places us in the sixth dimension first. By being born again, we are already in the sixth dimension: We have a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; just as Christ was in the sixth dimension before coming to this earthly dimension in a human body, and just as Adam was in a theophanic body before coming in human flesh to this dimension.
And see how Adam, being in his theophanic body, had fellowship with the Word, which was with God and was God, which is Jesus Christ Himself in His theophanic body.
That is why Jesus could say: “Before Abraham was (before Abraham was), I am. And Abraham desired to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.55” And when did he see it? When He ate with Abraham there, before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham called Him Elohim.
Gabriel and Michael also appeared there; they materialized before Abraham and ate with Abraham. And then they passed to Sodom and Gomorrah; and then at dawn, in the morning, the divine judgment fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah; when dawn breaking, the divine judgment fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah. But notice who were the ones who carried out that divine judgment: Elohim, Gabriel and Michael56.
And Gabriel and Michael have the heavenly Armies, with which they carry out the divine orders. In clearer words, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was carried out by what they now call flying saucers, as well as the antediluvian destruction.
And at this time flying saucers, which are chariots of fire, are appearing a lot. Elijah left in a chariot of fire57</sup>; and, look, when Moses died, the Archangel Michael took charge of Moses’ body58. So we can see a divine intervention, of the sixth dimension, for all these cases.
Now, our transformation, and the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the rapture of the elect of God to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, also has to do with those chariots of fire or flying saucers. Elijah left in a chariot of fire and we will also leave in chariots of fire. So we have to look at all of these things from the biblical point of view, and know that all of this is in the Bible.
And look, in the book of Revelation is where more angels appear, there, speaking and having part in the Program of God; but when it comes to preaching the Gospel here on Earth, do you know something?, the preaching of the Gospel corresponds to human beings.
And for the Last Day, in Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6 and on, it says:
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come (this Angel comes preaching that the hour of the divine judgment has come, that is, he comes preaching the day of vengeance of our God): and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
This Angel is a prophet messenger who comes with the Message of the Eternal Gospel.
That is the last prophet messenger of God, sent to preach the Eternal Gospel to every people, nation, tongue and king, and also to announce (what?) the divine judgment that is to come upon Earth.
When Jesus read Isaiah, chapter 61, verse 1 and on, in Luke, chapter 4, when He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah there in the synagogue of Nazareth, He began to read, saying [verse 18]:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
That Scripture was being fulfilled up to where He read it.
And why did He not continue reading? See what the continuation of that passage says. Let’s look at verse 2 of Isaiah 61, it says:
“…To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord…”
That is where He stopped. The continuation is:
“…and the day of vengeance of our God…”
And the day of vengeance of the God our Christ didn’t preach it there, because it was not going to be fulfilled at that time, because a stage of grace had to be opened for the human race: For the preaching of the year of the good will of the Lord.
But for the Last Day, in the Coming of that Angel who comes with the Eternal Gospel preaching it, it says he announces the divine judgment.
And it is under the Coming of that Angel, which is the Coming of the Spirit of God, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in the Last Day in the last prophet that He will send (who will be the prophet of the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom); through that manifestation, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, will be placing in the mouth of that messenger that Message of the day of vengeance of our God and will be announcing to mankind the divine judgment that will come upon the human race.
Because, for this end time, just as in the temple built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon: When there was no blood upon the mercy seat, in the time when blood had to be there, on the day of atonement, if it was not placed there, then it became a throne of judgment, and the divine judgment came upon the Hebrew people. There was no reconciliation of the Hebrew people with God and of God with the Hebrew people; therefore, the divine judgment would come upon the Hebrew people, because the sins of the Hebrew people would be seen, because they wouldn’t be covered with the blood of that sacrifice.
And since, for this end time Christ will leave the Place of Intercession in Heaven, where He is making intercession with His own Blood (as the high priest did): When Christ leaves from there, there will no longer be Blood in the Throne of the Temple which is in Heaven, there in the Most Holy Place; and that Throne will become the Throne of Judgment. And God will see the sins of human beings, because there will no longer be Blood of Jesus Christ to cover the sins or take away the sins of human beings. And then he who is unclean can no longer be cleansed, because the Blood of Christ will have already left the Throne of Intercession in Heaven: He will have already finished His Work of Intercession; and that will be when the very last of the elect of God enters, when the last of those whose names are written on the Lamb’s Book of Life enters, when the last of the members of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ enters.
When the last one enters, then the Work of Redemption is already finished; the Work of Redemption in Heaven is already finished, His Work of Intercession in Heaven is already finished, and the Work of Intercession of Christ for His heavenly Israel is already finished; just as the work of intercession for the earthly Israel was done there in the most holy place by the high priest.
After the last of the elect of the Mystical Body of Christ enters, there will be a full manifestation of God and His power: The dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies, and we who live will be transformed; and death will not exist any more for the elect of God, although it continues to exist for the rest of human beings.
And under that time in which we will be with the eternal body, there will be a full manifestation of God in all the members of His Mystical Body of believers in a time span of 30 to 40 days. And if two thousand years ago, with a perfect one, look at everything that happened, how will it be with millions of human beings who have been redeemed by the Blood of Christ, who will be resurrected at the Last Day and those of us who live will be transformed? They will be millions of God’s sons and daughters, through the second Adam, who will be in eternal bodies, with eternal life and all divine power restored, which Adam and Eve had lost.
And now, that will be a great time for all sons and daughters of God, for all the children of the second Adam, for all the descendants of God. And then we will go from here to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, while the divine judgment of the great tribulation will be passing through this Earth, which will last three and a half years.
Now, notice, with that resurrection in eternal bodies of those who have already departed and our transformation, the adoption of the sons and daughters of God will be fulfilled; and we will then be equal to our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and so it will be fulfilled what Christ said: “Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it falls to the ground and dies, it bears much fruit.59”
And a corn of wheat that falls to the ground and dies: A little plant is born and then it bears (what?) much fruit. And what is the fruit that it bears? Many corn of wheat equal to that which was sown in the earth.
And many sons and daughters of God, equal to our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, will be in eternal bodies in this Last Day. From one moment to the next, the resurrection of the dead in Christ will take place and the transformation of us who are alive.
Now we are at the stage where the elect of God of the Last Day are being called and gathered, under the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet of the Year of Jubilee; the Great Voice of Trumpet of Leviticus, chapter 25, verse 8 to 13, and also Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, where it says:
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect…”
Of which also Saint Paul says it is the Last Trumpet60</sup>; that will sound, and the dead in Christ will resurrect first, and we which are alive will be transformed. That Trumpet of God, which is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of God, through His manifestation in human flesh in the Last Day.
He will be manifested in human flesh in the Last Day: The same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Elohim, the same Angel of the Covenant, who came two thousand years ago manifested in human flesh, in that veil of flesh called Jesus of Nazareth; and He was in the midst of the Hebrew people for 33 years. The first 30 years or so were a mystery, it was a complete secret, and later He manifested Himself as the Messiah; and even though He was manifested as the Messiah, they couldn’t understand it either.
And now, for the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word, which appears in Revelation, chapter 19: The white horse Rider of Revelation 19, whose name is written the Word of God; it is the Coming of the Word of God, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which will come manifested in human flesh in the Last Day.
Now, that white horse Rider of Revelation 19, the Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, that will be… let’s see… The fulfillment of Revelation, chapter 19, the fulfillment of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, let’s see what it will be. It says, page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish61:
“196 But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
Now, the question is: Just as Jesus was, the veil of flesh where the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word, manifested in human flesh, the Word incarnated in a man two thousand years ago…; and He was for 33 years there on Earth, and most of the Hebrew people didn’t even know that there was the fulfillment of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Messiah.
Now, for the Last Day, the veil of flesh where the Angel of the Covenant will be, the Angel of the Lord, manifested, how long will that veil of flesh be on Earth in the Last Day, without mankind realizing the veil of flesh in which the Angel of the Covenant will be, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob manifested? We don’t know how long it will be; because if He will be manifested in human flesh and will have a ministry, well, that veil of flesh has to be born on Earth, he has to be a child, he has to grow up, he has to be a young man later on, and he has to reach the appropriate age to start his ministry; as it happened two thousand years ago here on Earth in Jesus of Nazareth; and everything was simple.
Now, this instrument where He will be manifested in the Last Day (the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which will be manifested in human flesh in the Last Day), remember, it will be a veil of flesh of the Last Day, through which He will be manifested; but that veil of flesh is not the Lord Jesus Christ, that veil of flesh is not God; that veil of flesh will be the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, it will be a dispensational prophet.
Of that kind of prophets God only has (do you know how many?) only seven prophets. Adam was the first, Seth the second, Noah the third, Abraham the fourth, Moses the fifth, Jesus the sixth; and the seventh is that Angel of Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6 to 7, who comes with the Gospel of the Kingdom, preaching it to all human beings: He comes with the Eternal Gospel to preach it to all human beings and also to announce to them the divine judgment that will come upon the human race.
But that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ, but in that Angel will be the Lord Jesus Christ manifested in the Last Day. That is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches (or to the churches).” Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16.
And Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Who does Jesus Christ send, who does God send? His Angel Messenger. What for? To show His servants the things that must happen soon.
That is why the Angel of Jesus Christ is sent, the prophet of the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom: To make known all these things that must happen soon; and he has to make known these things in the midst of the gentile Church of Jesus Christ first, and then He will make them known to the Hebrew people.
That is the Angel that appears in Revelation, chapter 1, and travels throughout the whole book of Revelation, until Revelation, chapter 22; of whom John says in Revelation, chapter 19, verses 7 to 10:
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
This Angel didn’t accept John’s worship because this Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ. This Angel is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, sent to His Church in the Last Day, to the heavenly Israel, and then sent to the earthly Israel, to the Hebrew people, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews at a certain time appointed by God.
But before carrying out this Work with the Hebrew people, first He has to call and gather all the elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and when the Church of Jesus Christ is completed, when the fullness of the gentiles has entered, as Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter 11, verse 25 to 28 (when the fullness of the gentiles has entered, that is, when the last member of the Mystical Body of Christ has entered), then all Israel will be saved; as it is written: “The Deliverer shall come from Zion, and shall take away ungodliness from Jacob.” That is, God is first dealing with the heavenly Israel, which is His Church, which is composed of Hebrews and gentiles.
And it is the greatest privilege for a Hebrew to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ. And for a Hebrew who doesn’t belong to the Church of Jesus Christ, then it is a great privilege to belong to the Hebrew people. But if he is a Hebrew and he also belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ, do you know something? He has a double blessing. Why? Because he belongs to the earthly Israel and to the heavenly Israel as well; therefore, he has earthly blessings and heavenly blessings as well.
So it was with the Church of Jesus Christ in her birth on the Day of Pentecost; and the beginning of the Church of Jesus Christ was with Hebrews, and later it turned to gentiles in Asia Minor; and from there it continued among gentiles, but from time to time Hebrews have entered also the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ. And also, for the end time, as in every age there have been Hebrews, for our time there will also be Hebrews and gentiles in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ as well.
Now, it is the members of the Mystical Body of Christ (whether Hebrews or gentiles) who will receive the adoption, that is, the transformation of their bodies if they are alive; and if they departed, then the resurrection in eternal bodies. And they belong to the heavenly Israel and therefore to the Order of Melchizedek, as priests of the Order of Melchizedek and as kings of the Order of Melchizedek too; because He is King and Priest, King of Salem (that is, of Jerusalem), to sit on the Throne of David.
Now we have also seen these mysteries related to the Hebrews and the gentiles.
Now, the 144,000 Hebrews don’t belong to the Church of Jesus Christ. That is why they will be called after the number of the elect of Christ from His Church is completed, who don’t belong to those 144,000 Hebrews.
Now, we can see that all these things are programmed by God; that is why nobody can force anybody to believe. The only thing there is to do is make known the Word of God relevant to our time, and he who is of God will hear the Voice of God. And if he belongs to the elect of God written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world, he will occupy his position in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the age relevant to this end time: The Age of the Cornerstone; and if not, then he can’t occupy his position there. But he will not have problems with us either, because we love all people and pray for all persons, and want the blessing of Christ for all persons; and we ask God for those who are not of the Mystical Body of Christ, for God to have them in the other section and to give them eternal life as well.
We love all persons; and our work in the Mystical Body of Christ is in favor of all persons, so that those who are in a section where they can be erased may not be erased, and those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life may be added to the Mystical Body of Christ.
Now, we have reached the time where from one moment to another the God’s Masterpiece will be adopted, which is the Church of Jesus Christ of this Last Day; just as Jesus Christ, God’s Masterpiece, was that Masterpiece adopted two thousand years ago, there on Mount Transfiguration.
And the Mystical Body of Christ in this end time will be adopted; and it will be under the ministry of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant through His Angel Messenger, for everyone to be adopted in this end time, to be adopted obtaining an eternal body in this Last Day.
We have reached the most important time of all times, where the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who encountered with Jacob and other prophets, would be in the Last Day manifested in human flesh through His Angel Messenger, appearing to His Church among the gentiles first and then He will appear to the Hebrew people. For that stage where He will have to do with the Hebrew people directly, He will already be adopted, both the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect of God of the Last Day.
Now we can see that these things are not matters of discussion, but matters of believing in what God has promised in His Word; and being prepared for our adoption, for the adoption of the body, which is the transformation of our body and the resurrection of the dead in Christ.
When we are already in the new body, we will be adopted; and from then on things will be billions and millions of times better for us than they are today. We will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. First we receive His image, which is the theophanic body, and in the Last Day we will also receive the likeness, which will be the physical and immortal and incorruptible body that He has promised for each of you and for me as well.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL, GOD’S MASTERPIECE.”
See how God is forming that Masterpiece, which is His Church; and He has placed a messenger in every age; and in this Last Day He would place His Angel Messenger, and He will be teaching us all these things that must happen soon through His Angel Messenger.
And to be listening to His Voice is to be listening to the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet or Trumpet of the Year of Jubilee. That is the Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, crying as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices; and He reveals to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, in this end time; and He shines upon His Church in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone: He shines upon the heavenly Israel first and then upon the earthly Israel.
That is why the prophecy of Isaiah, chapter 60: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee,” is for this time, for the heavenly Israel and then the earthly Israel, in the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant through the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ; because the Angel of the Covenant must always have a veil of flesh through which to manifest Himself, to place His Word; and that Word must be spoken in order for that Word to be fulfilled in the midst of the human race.
We have seen the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ: It is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in the Last Day in human flesh in His Angel Messenger; although His Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ; but the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, will have a veil of flesh in this time of this end time, through whom He will be manifested.
That promise that Christ made: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my Throne,62” will be fulfilled to His Angel Messenger.
Now, His Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ. His Angel Messenger is only the prophet messenger of the Last Day, through whom God will be, the Angel of the Covenant manifested, speaking to His people (to the heavenly Israel, which is His Church, and the earthly Israel too) all these things that must happen soon.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL, GOD’S MASTERPIECE.”
We have seen that everything is simple. And we have seen that when the Hebrew people were awaiting the Coming of the Messiah two thousand years ago, He would be a man who would be born on this Earth, grow up and begin His ministry. And when the people of God, the Church, the heavenly Israel and the earthly Israel are waiting for the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, it will be the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, manifested in human flesh in the Last Day, although that veil of flesh is not the Lord Jesus Christ; but through that veil of flesh we will have the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant in the Last Day, who was on Earth two thousand years ago in the midst of the Hebrew people.
On this occasion, when the time appointed by God comes, 144,000 Hebrews will hold on to that Angel of the Covenant manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger. By that time that Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ will be transformed, will be with his eternal body, will be already adopted. Also the Church of Jesus Christ, the heavenly Israel, will be holding on, the Church of Jesus Christ, of the Angel of the Covenant manifested through His Angel Messenger, and will be receiving His Message, His Word; and thus she will be receiving the faith, the revelation to be transformed and raptured in this Last Day.
This is THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND OF THE MASTERPIECE OF GOD.
Another child of God will be adopted in this Last Day with his group, with the group of his age in this Last Day. In other words, another child of God, with all the sons and daughters of God of this Last Day and with all the sons and daughters of God of past ages, will receive that adoption.
Just as Jesus Christ was adopted, now all of us will be adopted in this end time under the ministry of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, through His manifestation in the Last Day in the midst of His Church in His Angel Messenger.
John wanted to worship this Angel on two occasions, and on both occasions the Angel rejected that worship. The second time was in Revelation, chapter 22, verses 6 to 9. And what did John the apostle see in this Angel? Well, he saw the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
It is the first time that Jesus Christ would send to His Church a dispensational prophet. He will never again send a dispensational prophet to His Church; and why? Because that is the last dispensational prophet. That will be the dispensational prophet for His Church, for the Millennium and for all eternity, with the Eternal Gospel.
So we can see that the time we are living and the ministry promised by Christ, by God, for His people (for the heavenly Israel and for the earthly Israel); the ministry is the greatest ministry that the earthly Israel and the heavenly Israel would have, because it is the ministry of the Angel of the Covenant, of Jesus Christ, in the Last Day through His Angel Messenger.
Now, we must have our spiritual eyes wide open, because remember: In past ages and dispensations, the prophets that God sent were misunderstood by the people, they couldn’t understand them.
In Noah’s time, Noah a dispensational prophet, only eight people believed in him; the rest didn’t believe in him, the flood came and took them all away. And Jesus said: “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall the Coming of the Son of Man be.” That is, we are living in days parallel to the days of Noah and the days of Abraham, which are the days of Lot mentioned by Jesus63. The days of Lot, notice, had a dispensational prophet, which was Abraham.
And now, notice, not every person believed the dispensational prophets, but only a certain number of people.
And Moses, when God sent him, the Egyptians, the Egyptian empire didn’t believe in him; and even the Hebrew people, although they believed in him, they believed in him in a certain way, but on ten occasions they wanted to stone Moses64, the prophet that God sent them. So they believed at certain times and then doubted, some of the Hebrew people, that is, most of them.
When God sends a dispensational prophet, a greater Divine Program takes place. And we are in the end time, for the fulfillment of the greater part of the Program of God, where the divine judgment will be poured out for mankind; and for the children of God, from among the gentiles and the Hebrew people, the blessings of God will be poured out.
We are in a dispensational intertwining. We are in such an important time that we have to have our hearts open in order to see, in order to understand and receive what God has promised for this end time; because otherwise it will pass over our heads and we will not even see that God has fulfilled what He has promised in His Word; because God fulfills His promises in a simple way, in a simple form.
There is the secret, the mystery, of the fulfillment of divine promises: When God fulfills them, He fulfills them in a simple way. God’s promises always come being fulfilled in the midst of His people in a humble way, in a simple way.
And this is where many people fail, because they say: “Such a great God, when He fulfills His promise, a great promise that He has made, He has to fulfill it in a great way.” And when He fulfills it, He fulfills it in such a simple way that they say: “Well, yes, God has promised that, but that person can’t be the person where that promise is being fulfilled.”
This is what they said about Jesus. They were waiting for the Messiah, but they said: “But it can’t be Jesus of Nazareth”; and they said65: “This man shall not reign over us.” It was all in simplicity. There is the secret of the fulfillment of the divine promises, so that no one will take away the glory, because glory belongs only to God.
If an important man is the one that fulfills the promises, that man says: “No, it is because I studied and have so many doctorates, and I am a multimillionaire and very important, and that is why I have been able to do all these things.” And the glory that you should give to God is going to be given to a man. And God says that He will not give His glory to anyone66. No one can take the glory away from God.
That is why when He is going to do something great, He uses a simple instrument; and when He is going to do something greater, He uses an even simpler instrument.
Look at Moses. Moses was a great man and he didn’t serve when he was in Egypt. God took him to educate him in the desert, shepherding sheep; and when he reaches forty years shepherding sheep, then God calls him and says: “Now go and free my people.” And now Moses says: “But I am clumsy in my speech.” Now he didn’t know how to speak. Now he was ready for God to use him; because he recognized that he was nothing, and then he was going to give glory to God by being in that condition. The glory is always God’s.
The Angel of Jesus Christ, in Revelation 19 and Revelation 22, when he rejects the worship that John offers him and tells him to worship God, he is giving the glory (to whom?) to God. He is not receiving it, but giving it to God and telling John to give it to God. Because he will recognize that he is not Jesus Christ, but the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, through whom Jesus Christ will be manifested in the Last Day; but that doesn’t make him Jesus Christ: That only makes him the instrument of Jesus Christ for the blessing of the earthly Hebrew people and of the heavenly Israel.
And he will not be discussing anything with anyone, but giving the Word that God has placed in his mouth. And the Scripture will be fulfilled again. He will be able to take the Scriptures that speak of this Last Day and then say: “Today this and this and this and this Scripture has been fulfilled before you,” and he will be speaking the truth.
All Scriptures relevant to this end time, which must be fulfilled through the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ, in human flesh, will be fulfilled manifested through His Angel Messenger, in a simple way.
Don’t seek human greatness, but seek the Word of God and His Program being revealed in a simple way. The great part is that of God, the human part is the simple part, in “THE SEVENTH SEAL, GOD’S MASTERPIECE.”
For the evening… (Let’s see what time we have, Miguel). We almost have…, we have already taken 3:00 p.m. the activity… Let’s see the recess that Miguel will give us; the topic for the next activity was or is “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROGRAM OF GOD.”
So we will be in the next activity, after the recess that Miguel is going to give us, we will be seeing “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROGRAM OF GOD.” We will be seeing how the whole Program of God will conclude, and the blessings that some will take, and the divine judgments that other people will take. But we will see that conclusion. And let’s see, Miguel, if we have that activity as short as possible, to then have the activity for tonight, so that we have the necessary time for the activity tonight also; and thus, we receive all the blessings that God has for us during this day.
It has been a very great blessing and also privilege to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you of “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND GOD’S MASTERPIECE.” “THE SEVENTH SEAL, GOD’S MASTERPIECE.”
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, our Savior, be upon all of you and upon me too; and may soon all the elect be completed in the Mystical Body of Christ, and may soon the dead in Christ resurrect and we who live will be transformed. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
May you continue to have a day filled with the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant. I leave with us again the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, to continue and finish our part in this occasion and then have the songs or hymns that conclude the activity of this occasion.
Well, God bless you and keep you all.
