Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God, and thus see the Divine Program relevant to our time and how to receive His blessings at this end time.
I want to read in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, where the apostle Saint John says the following:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia.”
And we read in Revelation chapter 8, verse 1, where it says:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE VOICE OF CHRIST UNDER THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
The Voice of Christ is the most important voice you can hear. The Voice of Christ speaks words of eternal life to us. In John, chapter 6, verse 63, he told us that His words are spirit and they are life. Let us see how He says it:
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
Referring to His Word, Christ also said to us in chapter 5 of John, verse 24:
“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.”
Notice how important the words of Christ are, that he who hears them is passed from death unto life; therefore, in our time, we must know the Word of Christ, hear His Word, His Voice, in order to receive God’s blessings at this end time.
Now let us also see what Christ tells us in chapter 10 of John, verses 1 and on says:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
Also in this same chapter 10, verse 14 and on, Christ says:
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
Here, Christ compares all the sons and daughters of God with sheep; and Christ compares Himself with the good shepherd, with a good shepherd who gives his life for his sheep, who speaks to his sheep, who takes care of his sheep; and his sheep know his voice and hear his voice.
In this passage, we find that Christ tells us that He also has other Sheep who are not from this Fold (that is, from among the Hebrew people, where He was in that time), and referring to those sheep, He says: “Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
Those Sheep are sons and daughters of God from among the gentiles, who would be hearing the Voice of Christ throughout all these centuries and they would be following Christ, because they would be receiving His Word and thus they would be receiving Christ as their Savior, and washing their sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit, and therefore, they would be born in the Kingdom of God, they would be born in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ as sons and daughters of God.
When we are born on this planet Earth through our earthly parents, we have not been born as children of God; but when we receive Christ as our Savior and wash our sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit, we receive that new birth of which Christ spoke to Nicodemus about, telling him in chapter 3 of John:
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
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.”
Here, Christ establishes the new birth to enter into the Kingdom of God. Nicodemus thought that the new birth was by being born again through the womb of an earthly mother, but it was not so; in other words, it was not by entering into his mother’s womb to be born again, nor by dying so that he could be born again through the womb of an earthly mother, and then, in that second birth, enter into the Kingdom of God. It was not a matter of reincarnation, it was a matter of being born again of the Water and of the Spirit. As the Scripture says in John, chapter 1, verses 11 to 12, it says:
“He came unto his own (in other words, to the Hebrew people), and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
The people who receive Christ as their Savior and wash their sins in the Blood of Christ, and then receive the Spirit of Christ (that is, the Holy Spirit), obtain that new birth; and that is why when those people die physically they go to live in Paradise, which is the sixth dimension, which is a place like this, with trees, with birds, with animals too and with many people who are already living over there but without the problems we have here and without all those things we call “scientific advances”; because there, people are living in a theophanic body, which is similar to our body but from another dimension, the sixth dimension, the dimension of the Word.
Jesus Christ was in that body when He appeared to Abraham as Melchizedek and when He appeared to him as Elohim.
We find that He appeared to different prophets from the Old Testament. For example, God appeared to Jacob one night, and Jacob wrestled with that Angel until the day was breaking, meaning, until it was already sunrise; and chapter 32 of Genesis, verses 24 and on says:
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
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.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”
And when a person holds on to Jesus Christ, he cannot let Him go until he receives God’s blessing. When a person has received Christ as his Savior and has washed his sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Holy Spirit, he will not let go of Jesus Christ; he will always be striving in his life and walking forward with Christ, to receive the new body He has promised for us, which is an eternal body He will give us at the Last Day. Referring to His believers, Christ said in John, chapter 6, verse 39 to 40:
“…And I will raise him up at the last day.”
This is for those who believe in Christ and have washed their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit and, therefore, they have been born again in the age and dispensation in which they were granted to live, throughout all these centuries that have passed and also for those of us who live at this time.
Now, at this time, when the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place, there are some people who will not see death, instead, they will be changed. Now, those people will be like Jacob: holding on to the Angel of the Lord at this end time, holding on to Jesus Christ at this end time and hearing His Voice: the Voice of Christ under the Seventh Seal.
Everyone wants to hear the Voice of Christ and we all have the opportunity to hear His Voice; His Voice is unmistakable.
Now notice, Jacob did not let go of the Angel until the Angel blessed him. It continues:
“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.
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.
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.”
Now, notice how Jacob wrestled with that Angel, and at the end, he says he has seen God face to face; he had wrestled with the Angel of the Lord who said to Moses1: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
Now, Jacob says here that he saw God face to face. Manoah, Samson’s father, said the same thing when he encountered that Angel, who told him that he would have a son from his wife and name him Samson; and when the Angel ascended in the flame of fire that was consuming the sacrifice Manoah had offered, Manoah said2: “We will surely die, because we have seen God face to face.”
Now, notice how these men say they have seen God face to face. And God speaks about the prophet Moses, about the way God spoke to him; and then in Deuteronomy, chapter 34, verses 9 to 12, it says:
“And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.
And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, (here, it tells us about God knowing Moses face to face).
In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land.”
Here we can see how God says that Moses was known by God face to face. We also find that when Miriam and Aaron (Moses’ brother and sister) they spoke against Moses, God said to them that there was no other man like Moses with whom God has spoken face to face; because God would speak to the other prophets through dreams and visions, but He spoke to Moses face to face3. And now, God said to the prophet Moses on one occasion, when he wanted to talk to God and see God… Notice what He tells him in chapter 33, verses 18 to 23 [Exodus]:
“And he said, (Moses), I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.”
God said to Moses that no man could see Him and live; and now, Moses was going to see God passing by, but he would not see His face, he would see His back. In John, chapter 1, verse 18, it says:
“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son.”
Now, how can we understand that people have said they have seen God face to face and then the Bible says, God says that no one has seen God, because no man shall see Him and live?; yet those people who said they saw God were speaking with God, and God was speaking with them, and they saw God and they did not see God.
How can that be understood? If you look at me and I look at you, we can say that we are seeing each other, but if we examine it a bit more, we would say: “We are not seeing each other”; because you are seeing this body of flesh and I am seeing your body of flesh, but you are a living soul living inside a body of flesh and I am also a living soul living inside this body of flesh, which is my earthly house. What we are seeing is our earthly house, but our soul, which is what we are, is not being seen.
Likewise, when Moses, and also Jacob, and also Manoah, and Joshua as well, and Abraham, and other biblical characters saw God, they were seeing God’s theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is a body like this body we have, but it is from another dimension. That is the visible image of the invisible God, that is the visible image of the invisible God of the sixth dimension, the dimension of the theophany. In his epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 1, Saint Paul tells us:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”
He made the universe through Jesus Christ, through the Son, He made the universe. And now, he says:
“…Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
God had spoken through the prophets because prophets have both consciouses together and they are sent to Earth in human flesh to bring the Word of God relevant to the time in which God sends them.
When God sends a prophet to Earth, God speaks to His people through that prophet, because the Word of God is put in the mouth of prophets of God. In chapter 18, verse 15 to 19 [Deuteronomy] the prophet Moses says the following:
“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;
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.
And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
Where does God place His Word? In the mouth of the prophet He sends for each age or each dispensation. If He sends a prophet for an age, that prophet comes with the Message for that age, and that Message revolves around the Message of that dispensation; and when God sends a prophet for a dispensation, he comes with a dispensational Message for a new dispensation which is going to begin.
And God has different dispensations; they are not many, they are only seven dispensations. And He only has seven dispensational prophets; that is the greatest type of prophet God sends to Earth.
For the first dispensation —the Dispensation of Innocence— we have Adam, who was a prophet, and he was a greater prophet. Before coming to Earth in human flesh, Adam had been in his theophanic body of the sixth dimension first; God created Adam in His image, in other words, according to the theophany of God, according to that theophanic body of God called the Angel of the Lord or the Angel of the Covenant. While God was in that theophanic body, He created the entire universe; He is the One called the Word of God.
“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.4”
Now, notice, all things were made by Him, by the Word; and now, what about what God says in Genesis 1:1?
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
It is because the Word is God Himself in His theophanic body; the Word is that theophanic body of God, in which God dwells and through which He was manifested carrying out the entire Creation; and in that body, He also created Adam a body like His, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
That is the kind of body angels have, that is the kind of body in which God was manifested in the Old Testament appearing to many prophets on different occasions, and He was called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant; but when the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, manifested in that flame of fire, spoke to Moses, He said: “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob”; He also identified Himself as the God of Moses’ father (that is, Amram, Moses’ father), and therefore, He is also the God of Moses and the God of the Hebrew people. He is the same God who blessed Jacob and changed Jacob’s name from Jacob to Israel.
Now, notice why we find in John, chapter 1, verse 14, that it tells us, referring to the Word… We have seen that the Word was with God and the Word was God, and that all things were made by Him; and now, it says:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
What happened there when the Word was made flesh? This was on the occasion when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and created a cell of life in Mary’s womb, which multiplied cell after cell, and thus the body of Jesus was created, who was born in Bethlehem of Judaea nine months later; and the prophecy of the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem of Judaea through a descendant of king David, who was Mary, was fulfilled.
Although Mary was poor, she was a descendant of king David, she was a princess even though she was poor. Poverty does not take away who the person is before God; and if the soul of the person belongs to God, poverty or wealth do not matter, his or her situation here on Earth does not matter, that soul inside that body belongs to God. And for every person who has come from God to this planet Earth, God has provided His plan or His Program of Redemption, in other words, His program to return to the House of our heavenly Father.
That is the Program that the Word made flesh carried out on Calvary’s Cross. The Word made flesh, in other words, the Angel of the Lord made flesh, dressed in a body of flesh, carried out the Work of Redemption with His body of flesh there on Calvary’s Cross.
Now, notice who was the one manifested in that veil of flesh: it was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That is why the prophet Isaiah said in chapter 7, verse 14:
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
His name would be called Emmanuel, which translated is: God with us.
Now we can see how the Almighty God has a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; He appeared in that theophanic body in the Old Testament: He is that man dressed in white linen from Ezekiel, chapter 9.
Notice, in the Old Testament, that Angel dressed in white linen is the Holy Spirit, who seals His elect. And now in the New Testament, He came manifested in human flesh, dressed of human flesh to carry out the Work of Redemption.
When the Coming of the Messiah was announced by the prophet Malachi, in chapter 3, prophet Malachi says God would send His messenger before Him.
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: (that was John the Baptist) and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, (Who would come after John the Baptist? The Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in.”
The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, would come after John the Baptist. And how would He come? Made flesh, dressed in human flesh in that veil of flesh called Jesus.
Now we can see the manifestation of God, of the Divinity in all His fullness in the person of Jesus. The veil of flesh was a simple and humble man, who was raised in Nazareth, but had been born in Bethlehem of Judea, but the great part was who was inside of Him: the Divinity in all His fullness was made flesh there.
“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.5”
Now notice, no one has seen God, but through these manifestations of God in His theophanic body, God was seen dressed of His theophanic body and speaking through His theophanic body, called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant; God was also seen manifested in human flesh, and by speaking through human flesh, He was manifested in all His fullness in the Work of Redemption.
God was partially manifested in the prophets of the Old Testament and not in all His fullness, but in Jesus Christ, He was in all His fullness. God was manifested in Adam in the portion relevant to the first dispensation.
Now notice, when Adam sinned, we find that he lost the right to eternal life and he lost the right to eat from the Tree of Life; and the human race, notice how death entered the human race; and from that point on, no one else could appear first in the sixth dimension in a theophanic body, to then come to Earth and obtain a body of flesh to live in.
Since the fall, people have been coming to Earth without going through the sixth dimension to obtain the theophanic body, to obtain that image of God; because the image of God is that theophany; that is the visible image of God in the sixth dimension.
And now, the human being lost that right to obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; therefore, by coming to this Earth, he obtains a spirit of the world, of the fifth dimension, and he obtains a mortal, corruptible and temporary body of flesh. That is why the human being is born, lives on Earth for a period of time and then dies; and he will return to that body: if he is not a believer in Christ, he will return in the second resurrection.
If he is a born again elect of God, when his days in this body end and his body dies, he will never return to that body: he will resurrect in the first resurrection, before the great tribulation, in an eternal body; because when that person believed in Christ as his Savior and was born again, he already received a theophanic spirit, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and all he needs is to receive a physical eternal, glorified body, like the Lord Jesus Christ, to be fully in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now we can see this mystery, which the human race has not understood yet, regarding where they have come from, where they are and why, and where they are going. The human being is coming to this planet Earth from another dimension. That is why when you hear about extraterrestrials, look at yourselves in the mirror and say: “There is an extraterrestrial in this body of flesh I see in the mirror,” and then, you will not be afraid of extraterrestrials; because your body is from here, from Earth, but your soul is not: your soul came from another dimension, and so did your spirit. So, do not be afraid of extraterrestrials, because you are an extraterrestrial and so am I.
Christ said6: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” Notice, He came from Heaven; He is an extraterrestrial too.
Now we can see what an extraterrestrial is: an extraterrestrial is a person from another dimension who comes to this Earth in a body of flesh when God appoints to him a time to be manifested in human flesh; but there are others who will not come in human flesh, they are angels of God who will remain that way all this time.
Now, we can see what extraterrestrials are. The prophet Elijah was caught away to Heaven by a chariot of fire or flying saucer, he was taken to another dimension: the sixth dimension7.
And you know something? In the sixth dimension, people do not age, nor do they die. Do you want proof of that? On Mount Transfiguration, when Jesus Christ transfigured before Peter, James and John, who appeared there? Moses and Elijah, one on each side; they had not aged, nor had they died while they were in the sixth dimension.
The physical body is mortal, but when a person’s days on Earth come to an end, he continues living in another dimension. If the person is a believer in Christ, the person goes to the sixth dimension; if the person is not a believer in Christ, he goes to the fifth dimension, and no one would like to go to that dimension.
That is the dimension called hell; it is a prison, a dimension from which people cannot get out of, because it is a prison; and they will leave in the second resurrection to go before the White Throne, in the Final Judgment, to be judged.
Now, that fifth dimension also contains many things similar to this dimension, but they are from the fifth dimension; and people live there in those bodies from another dimension, called spirits. But the children of God who depart from this Earth go to Paradise, which is the sixth dimension, the dimension of the Word, they go to live in that theophanic body they obtained through the new birth.
Now we can see the great blessing of receiving Christ as our Savior and washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit.
We have come to this planet Earth in these mortal bodies to make contact with eternal life, which is Jesus Christ, so that our sins may be taken away and to obtain our redemption, and thus obtain the theophanic body of the sixth dimension or the theophanic spirit; and in the Last Day, in the resurrection of the dead in Christ, those who have already departed will receive the eternal body, the physical eternal and glorified body, and we who are alive will be changed and we will also have an eternal body.
Now, if you observe carefully, those people who will receive that blessing of an eternal body are the people who have been hearing the Voice of Christ in the time in which they were granted to live, because we have come to this planet Earth to make contact with eternal life. That is why Christ said8: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The rest of the things are not of great importance, even if they are important to people; but the most important thing of all is the Kingdom of God: if they miss it, they cannot go to Heaven, they cannot go to Paradise, and they will not be able to live eternally. Therefore, what is eternal is the most important thing for each one of you and for me as well; the eternal life is the most important thing for all human beings, whether they acknowledge it or not.
Now, we have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, the apostle Paul tells us9</a>; our life is to seek the Divine Program and enter into that Divine Program in the time in which we are granted to live, and remain hearing the Voice of Christ in the age and dispensation in which we are granted to live, as it was for those who lived in past ages and dispensations as well.
Now, the Voice of Christ is the Voice of God, it is the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord. Notice how God spoke to the prophet Moses in Exodus, chapter 23, verse 20 and on, saying the following:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”
And we also read verse 22, which says:
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and
