Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, and those in different countries. Warm greetings to Missionary, Dr. Miguel Bermudez Marin, there where he is on this occasion.
For this occasion, we read First of Corinthians, chapter 14, verses 7 to 8, and it says the following:
“And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand it.
Our subject for the introduction to the Bible School and Bible Study of next Sunday is: “THE SYMPHONY OF GOD.” To simplify it, let’s call it: “THE SYMPHONIC OF GOD.”
I believe that what Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin shared with us on this occasion is enough; therefore, let’s briefly discuss the subject in a few words, so that we have the context for next Sunday’s Bible School.
Music is perfect, as well as mathematics. Music is from Heaven and came from Heaven to the human beings. It was first given to the angels and then it came to Earth for the human beings. It is from Heaven.
That is why music cannot be adulterated, because music produces a very important effect in the human being. It is transmitted without censorship, it passes directly to the subconscious without passing through the conscience to be censored, to be reasoned.
That is why on some occasions you find that there are people, or perhaps even yourself, singing a song or following a rhythm and you don’t even know the lyrics to that music; but… some even sing without knowing what the lyrics of that music means. It is because it goes directly to the subconscious, it reaches the soul without going through the conscious, without the conscious analyzing it before it reaches the soul, in other words, the subconscious; because when it goes on to the subconscious, then it leaves the subconscious to materialize the content of what entered into the subconscious, into the soul of the individual.
We also find that mathematics comes from Heaven. If you observe the Creation, everything is mathematically well ordered. Of course, the human being has only reached a certain level of math, but they still need to know the heavenly mathematics, which covers a wider range than earthly mathematics. But with earthly mathematics we can see the Divine Program, because math and music reflect the Divine Program He would carry out from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation.
If you visit a synagogue (and even in some churches) you will find that in synagogues, many times a Scripture is read as a song; and if we read in Deuteronomy, chapter 31, it tells us… verse 19, God speaking to Moses:
“Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel…”
Now, notice, God is telling him to teach that song, everything God just revealed to him, for the people, now he is going to teach it to them as a song:
“Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.”
Now, this Divine Word that He had to give him at that time, He would give it to him in the form of song; and he would teach it to adults and children, to men and women, so that they would be singing it and so they would have it in their memory and as a witness before God for the people. In other words, this song would be a witness before God of what would happen to the Hebrew people if they would turn away from God and inclined to idolatry.
In the Bible, we also find it in the Psalms, and even in the book of Revelation, that speaks to us about a new Song.
What can a new Song contain? The Word of God for the time in which the individual is living. A new Song of a new Message, a dispensational Message or a new Song of a Message for a new stage or age of the people of God under the Covenant in effect at that time.
As we all know, in churches, people sing about what the Message for the Dispensation of Grace is, in other words, the Coming of the Lord, His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross and the blessings He obtained for all of us when He died, was buried and resurrected glorified.
The Message relevant to a certain dispensation is always put into song as well, so that the people learn it and enjoy God’s blessings for that dispensation.
When it is spoken to us about a new Song for a new dispensation, that Song contains the Message of that new dispensation.
For example, in Revelation, let’s see… Revelation, chapter 15; and Revelation, chapter 1 and in chapter 5. Verse 9 to 10, of chapter 5, says:
“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.”
Notice this song they are singing, performing there in Heaven, when Christ, the Lamb, takes the Book sealed with seven seals.
And also in Revelation, chapter 15, it says… Verse 3 and on, says:
“And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.”
That is another song there in Heaven, which takes place when all of this that is contained in chapter 15 takes place.
The content of the song is always the God’s Program for the time people are living in. Notice, those songs are from Heaven and they are transmitted to human beings; and that is why from age to age, one sings for God in church, not just anything, but according to God’s Program for the Dispensation of Grace.
From age to age, the Composer, who is God, whom before the foundation of the world, composed the music sheet relevant to each age and each dispensation, and the lyrics of what God will do have been recorded in the Bible…; then the Director, which is the Holy Spirit, as seen in the symphonics, symphonic orchestras, a man with a baton directing all the musicians…; the Symphonic in God’s Program is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, God is the Composer.
And the director takes the music sheet relevant to the time in which He, with the Orchestra, the Symphonic, must perform the musical piece. The Director with the baton, with the Word, the Holy Spirit in the messenger, with the Church, perform that music piece; in other words, they carry out what is written in the Word for that time, they bring the Message relevant to that time, the promises relevant to that time; they carry them out, they are materialized; thus fulfilling the Work of God of that music piece for that time.
That is the music sheet of the Symphonic of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, directed by the Director with the baton in His hand, the Word in His hand, through the messenger for each age. That is how it was for each age and that is how it has been for each dispensation. It is as simple as that.
We are not in Noah’s time. Therefore, the musical piece for that time was the construction of an ark for the salvation of those who had to be delivered from the judgment of the flood: people, animals, fowls and reptiles, too.
Then, we find that everything that had to be heard, being performed by the Symphonic of God of that time (Noah and his family), what was to come was heard and how to escape the coming judgment that was to fall upon the Earth. He was revealing the music sheet of that time; and the Holy Spirit through Noah was conducting the musical piece of that time.
Now, what does that have to do with us? Christ says: “As it was in the day of Noah, so shall the Coming of the Son of Man be.” In other words, the end time, the time of the Coming of the Son of Man promised in different Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament will be a time parallel to Noah’s time.
Now, the important thing for our time is to know the music sheet that the Symphonic, God’s Orchestra, the Church along with the Director, the Holy Spirit with the Word, with the Baton in His Hand, must interpret through His manifestation at the end time, using the messenger and the Church for the performance of that musical piece.
Therefore, it is important and obligatory that we know the lyrics of the musical piece, the promises relevant to our time which are in the Bible; in order to know which is the musical piece that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be performing under the direction of the Master, of the Holy Spirit, manifested in His instrument relevant to the end time. As it was in the different stages or ages of the Church, that is how it must be in our time.
There are seven musical notes that correspond to each Church age, each one of them. There are seven Church ages, and the musical piece of each has already been performed by the Orchestra, the Church, under the direction of the Master, Christ in Holy Spirit, with His Word in the midst of His Church, conducting everything, using a messenger from age to age; and so forth, for seven ages.
And what is there for our time? The music sheet of this end time will be in an octave; therefore, we go up an octave and we ascend to an eighth age, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; wherein the musical piece pertains to an octave, and in which the seven musical notes will be played, but on a higher note. It is as simple as that.
Next Sunday we will have the Bible School and the Bible Study related to the subject: “THE SYMPHONY OF GOD” or… we titled it: “THE SYMPHONIC OF GOD,” which is the Church. Later, we will explain about the symphony, and everything else will be explained next Sunday, God willing.
Therefore, let us pray for next Sunday’s service, the Bible Study for next Sunday, under the subject: “THE SYMPHONIC OF GOD.”
It has been a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, in this brief introduction to next Sunday’s Bible Study.
May God bless you and keep you; and continue having a joyful evening filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
I leave Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez with us and in each country I leave each minister to continue.
God bless you and goodnight to all of you.
Until next Sunday, God willing.
“THE SYMPHONIC OF GOD.”
