The Valley of Shadow and Death – Introduction

Good evening beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are in other nations.

Warm greetings to missionary doctor Miguel Bermudez Marin in Peru; and to the reverend there, the minister there present; and also doctor Nelly and Fernando in Peru. May God bless everyone there and may He use you greatly in His Work in this end time.

Jesus was once in the land of Capernaum, in the region of Zabulon and Nephthalim, and He was fulfilling the corresponding Scripture for that time. And Matthew, chapter 4, verse 12 and on, says:

“Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

         And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

         That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

         The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

         The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

         From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

“THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.”

That territory, that land of Zabulon and Nephthalim was a valley of shadow and of death.

Since the fall of the human being, the planet Earth became a territory of shadow and death; and when God sent a messenger, God, who is Light, was shining upon the territory where He sent that messenger, a territory of shadow and of death; death for the soul and for the spirit.

Because there is death for the body, but the individual continues living; even though their body dies, he continues living in his spiritual body in another dimension. But now, there are territories on Earth that become territories of the shadow of death, of spiritual shadow, spiritual darkness, of darkness for the soul and of death for the soul of individuals. As it also happens physically in many countries, cities and towns of Earth.

When a world war takes place, the territory that enters war also becomes a territory of shadow and of death; and one cannot sleep peacefully in this kind of place, because we know that at any time an attack can happen and many people die with their families in those attacks during war.

And what does war have to do with God’s Program? Before the human beings existed on Earth, there was a great war in Heaven, when one of the major angels, one of the archangels from Heaven, rebelled against God and His Program; and that is when war began. And war has not ceased from that time until now.

And the war of angels then became the war of human beings, because they control human beings from another dimensión; in other words, human beings are controlled, they are ruled by two kingdoms. There are two kingdoms at war in Heaven, and they influence this planet Earth.

The human being lost its rights, in other words, these rights were confiscated; due to the fact that the enemy had possessed the Earth…, and if he obtained the Title Deed, then it belonged to the enemy of God, known as the devil or Satan.

The Earth is a divine inheritance of the human being, to live in peace and happiness; therefore, the Title Deed returned to the hand of God, to the right hand of God, until the completion of the group of God’s elect in the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the very last one written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life is cleansed with the Blood of Christ, then Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession, where He is the High Priest in Heaven, according to the Order of Melchizedek.

According to the Order of Melchizedek, Jesus Christ is the High Priest Melchizedek in Heaven, in the heavenly Temple, making intercession with His own Blood for each person who receives Him as their only and sufficient Savior; and He is making intercession for every believer who confesses their errors, faults or sins to Christ, and with His Blood He cleanses them from all sin and intercedes before God the Father with His Blood.

Therefore, Christ is the Defense Attorney of all the children of Light, of everyone written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world.

After His Work of Intercession as High Priest, Jesus Christ will become the Judge of all the Earth; as Judge and King to judge and condemn on Judgement Day all those who had the opportunity to receive salvation and eternal life but took no interest in it.

He will judge the living and the dead, however, He will place everyone who has received Him as their only and sufficient Savior, in His Kingdom, and they will be His Government Cabinet to govern in the Kingdom of God which will be established on this Earth.

Currently, the kingdom of darkness rules humanity, but the Kingdom of God will be restored to the human race very soon; and it will bring peace and happiness to those who will live in the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Kingdom of Christ glorified, who died for all of us on Calvary’s Cross.

The believers in Christ have been spiritually delivered from the valley of shadow and death; but we still need the removal of that kingdom of shadow and death of the wicked one, in order to enter the literal Kingdom of Light and of eternal life of Christ, the Messiah, of God, which will be restored on this Earth.

That is why before Christ ascended to Heaven, already resurrected, His disciples asked Him: “Wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” He tells them: “And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.” [Acts 1:6-7]

The restoration of the Kingdom of David was not for that time; there were still about two thousand years left for the coming and restoration of the Kingdom of David, because that is for this Last Day.

The closest ones to the time of the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel are the believers living in this time; it is us, who are living in this time, who are closest to the physical restoration of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Israel on this Earth.

Therefore, we thank God for the great blessing of living in this time. Although it is a time of the valley of shadow and death in the world and for the world, but for the believers, the Kingdom of Christ is a Kingdom of Light and eternal life.

“THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.”

Physically, we live on a planet Earth of shadow and of death. Spiritually, we live in the Kingdom of Christ, the Kingdom of Light and eternal life.

May God bless you and keep you; and we will see each other tomorrow, God willing.

If there is anyone who has not received yet Christ, you may do so at this time and we will pray for you; you may come to the front. And in any country that is connected, you may also come to the front at this time and you will be included in the prayer we will be making for those who are receiving Christ as their only and sufficient Savior.

Let us stand. With our heads bowed and our eyes closed, those who are receiving Christ as their Savior here and in every country:

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ with these people who are receiving Christ as their only and sufficient Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom. I pray to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now, those who have come to the Feet of Christ at this time, repeat this prayer after me:

Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the Word of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my soul, in my heart.

I believe in You with all my soul. I believe in Your Name as the only name under Heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved. I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins.

I recognize that I am a sinner and I need a Savior.

I pray that You forgive all my sins and that You cleanse me from all sin with Your Blood; and may You baptize me with the Holy Spirit and fire and bring forth the new birth in me.

I want to be born in Your Kingdom, in Your Kingdom of Light and eternal life. I pray to You in Your Eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

And now, those from different countries who have come to the Feet of Christ may ask: “When can you baptize me?” Because Christ said: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” [Mark 16:15-16] “I want to be baptized,” this is what each person who has received Christ as their Savior today will say.

Water baptism does not take away sins, the Blood of Christ is what cleanses us from all sin; but water baptism is a commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Even the Lord Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. John did not want to baptize Him, John told Him…, when Jesus entered Jordan, where John was baptizing, and it was Jesus’ turn, John said to Him: “I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?” Jesus said to him: “It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.” And then he baptized him; and the Spirit of God descended upon Jesus when He rose from the baptismal waters. [Matthew 3:13-16]

What comes after water baptism is the Holy Spirit for those who have received Christ as their only and sufficient Savior and is baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; aware that water baptism is typological. In water baptism, we identify ourselves with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

We were in Christ eternally; therefore, it is important to know the typology, the symbolism of water baptism, whereby we identify ourselves with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

Those who have received Christ may be baptized on this occasion.

I leave the corresponding minister in each country, and here, I leave reverend David, to inform you what you must do to be baptized in water at this time wherever you may be. And we will continue to see each other the next few days: tomorrow at the minister’s meeting, and Sunday at the Bible school for the Bible study: “THE VALLEY OF SHADOW AND DEATH,” where we will discuss this subject more in-depth.

May God bless you and keep you; and I leave reverend David with you here again.

“THE VALLEY OF SHADOW AND DEATH.”
