Good evening, kind friends and brethren present and listeners. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share with you this topic: <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cTHE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saint Paul speaks to us in his letter to the Galatians in chapter 4, speaking about these two peoples, which are the Hebrew people and the Church of Jesus Christ, he says\u2026 God typified this in the Old Testament and, notice, it says in Galatians, chapter 4, verse 22 to 31:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>(that is, of the heavenly Jerusalem)<\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our subject is: <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cTHE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have the earthly Israel, the descendants of Abraham according to the flesh, which is the Hebrew people, of whom God had said that they would be slaves in a foreign land; even before Abraham had his son Isaac, God is already telling him where the descendants of Abraham will go. In chapter 15, verse 12 and on, God speaks to the prophet Abraham and tells him [Genesis]:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we can see that God had already told the prophet and patriarch Abraham that his descendants would be slaves in a foreign land, but that God would deliver them after completing 400 years of slavery.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, that is the earthly Israel: the people who were delivered by God, who found themselves in Egypt in bondage, but God sent the prophet Moses, and through the prophet Moses God delivered the Hebrew people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God appeared to the prophet Moses and told him who He was. Look, in Exodus, chapter 3, verse 3 and on, it says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here we have the commission given by God to Moses for the deliverance of the Hebrew people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob manifested in that Light, in that Pillar of Fire or Flame of Fire, called Moses: He spoke to him, revealed to him that he was the one sent for the deliverance of the Hebrew people, and he (Moses) would be God\u2019s instrument in that great work of the deliverance of the people of God.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we can see that God delivered the Hebrew people through the prophet Moses: he took them to Mount Sinai after crossing the Red Sea, and then he took them towards the promised land, after giving them the divine laws; and then he took them towards the promised land; and for 40 years they were traveling towards the promised land.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This people that was traveling towards the promised land was a people which was guided by God. That is why the people stopped in every occasion in which the Pillar of Fire stopped; and when the Pillar of Fire or Cloud of Fire rose from above the tabernacle, the people also rose and walked towards the direction in which the Pillar of Fire was going.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We find this in the book of Numbers, chapter 9, verse 15 and on (…) it says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed: they kept the charge of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can see a people here led by God, a people where God was their ruler; and through the prophet Moses (because He always has to use a man), God guided His people through the prophet Moses; and that Pillar of Fire, which is the presence of God, accompanied them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the presence of God was seen by the people, which was set upon the tabernacle. And when the Hebrew people saw the Pillar of Fire over the tabernacle, there the Hebrew people stopped and camped there; when they saw the Pillar of Fire rising from over the tabernacle, then the people rose and departed in the direction where the Pillar of Fire led them. It was a people guided by the Pillar of Fire.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And that Pillar of Fire said to Moses: \u201cI am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob manifested Himself in this Pillar of Fire to Moses and the Hebrew people; and that Dispensation of the Law, notice, has been accompanied by the Pillar of Fire, which is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob leading His people in that fifth dispensation, and guiding the Hebrew people towards the promised land.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was that Pillar of Fire, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who delivered them and guided them to the promised land, and introduced them through the prophet Moses and through the prophet Joshua, introduced them to the promised land. When Moses finished his ministry, Joshua began and brought the Hebrew people across the Jordan, and divided the land that God had promised them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Moses is a type and figure of Christ, as is Joshua. Joshua represents Christ. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Joshua<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> means \u2018Savior\u2019, \u2018Redeemer\u2019, and <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> means \u2018Savior\u2019 and \u2018Redeemer\u2019 too; because <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> is <\/span><\/span><\/span>Joshua<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> in Hebrew is <\/span><\/span><\/span>Joshua<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can see that our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who became flesh, became man and dwelt among the Hebrew people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The same was in the beginning with God.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (in other words, in the midst of the Hebrew people and therefore the human race).<\/span><\/span><\/span>1<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (who was seen in that Pillar of Fire), made flesh was known by the name of Jesus (in other words, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Joshua<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> in Hebrew), and He carried out the Work of Redemption on Calvary\u2019s Cross; for the Hebrew people rejected Him in His Coming and, therefore, He had to die on the Calvary\u2019s Cross to thus carry out the Work of Redemption, to start a new exodus with the people of God, God\u2019s elect written in Heaven, in the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world; and they belong to the heavenly Israel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The heavenly Israel is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which \u2014as the Hebrew people\u2014 has come out of the world, which is the spiritual Egypt, when God has called each person belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, He has called him from the world (that is the spiritual Egypt); just as He called Israel (in other words, the Hebrew people), He called them from Egypt; and just as that prophecy<\/span><\/span><\/span>2<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup> was fulfilled in Jesus when Jesus was living in Egypt when He was about 2 years old (2 to 3 years old), and then we find that He ordered Joseph to return to the land of Israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>3<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup> because king Herod had already died, all those who were persecuting and seeking the death of Jesus had already died; therefore, He called him out of Egypt to return to his land, the land of Israel, as He called the Hebrews out of Egypt to bring them to the land of Israel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now the Church of Jesus Christ and all the members of the Church of Jesus Christ are called out of the spiritual Egypt \u2014which is the world\u2014 and are brought to Christ, in order to thus receive Christ as their Savior, wash their sins away in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we can see that each individual by receiving the Holy Spirit has entered the promised land of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and has received a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But the Church of Jesus Christ as Mystical Body of believers, we find that she has been traveling on the same path that the Hebrew people traveled: towards the promised land.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And just as the Hebrew people had 40 years traveling through the wilderness, through gentile territories, until they reached the promised land\u2026 Many people died during those 40 years; and all those who were 20 years old and above, of those who came out of Egypt, died in the wilderness, except Joshua and Caleb<\/span><\/span><\/span>4<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Caleb was about 40 years old when he came out of Egypt, 40 or more; and when Joshua came out of Egypt, Joshua was young, so he was about 20 to\u2026 less than 30 years old. And Joshua and Caleb were the ones who entered the promised land having come out of Egypt when they were 20 years old or more, from 20 years old and up; the rest died in the wilderness because they rebelled against the Voice of God.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But their children who were born in the wilderness and those who were 20 years old and below, they, the majority, entered the promised land. The children of those who said that their children would perish in the wilderness, well, it was their children who did not perish, but rather, entered the promised land.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we have been seeing an exodus spiritually. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the heavenly Israel, has been traveling from stage to stage, from age to age, through the wilderness; and the Spirit of God has settled upon His Church, His Temple, from age to age; and when He has settled, the people there have been receiving God\u2019s blessings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when the Spirit of God has risen from one age and has moved on to another age, the Church of Jesus Christ has moved to a new stage in her trajectory towards the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, we are also in that trajectory, each one as an individual, traveling towards the promised land of the new body, the eternal body that Christ has promised for each of us.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, we have not approached Mount Sinai, which was burning with fire, as Saint Paul describes it and also the book of Exodus\u2026 Saint Paul describes it in his letter to the Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 18 and on, saying:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>(that is, Mount Sinai)<\/span><\/span><\/span>, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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:<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(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:<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That was the situation that the Hebrew people could see and feel when they were in front of Mount Sinai, when God was on Mount Sinai talking to the prophet Moses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But now we have not approached Mount Sinai, we have approached a more important mountain: we have approached the Mount of God, the City of our God, which was represented on Mount Sinai. And now, it says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c…But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we have approached Mount Zion, the Mount of God, the heavenly Jerusalem.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are on the Mount of God, the heavenly Jerusalem, placed in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; where the people, the persons belonging to that Mystical Body of believers, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, have been being led since the Day of Pentecost until now; because the Day of Pentecost the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ was born, with the new birth of 120 people there who received the Holy Spirit and obtained the new birth. And Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Pillar of Fire that guided the Hebrew people, has been guiding His Church from stage to stage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God said to the Pharisees and Sadducees and doctors of the Law, who bothered Him so much, He said to them: \u201cAbraham wished to see my day; he saw it and was glad.\u201d Now, they thought that Jesus was very young and Abraham had lived hundreds of years ago. How was this possible? Christ had told them\u2026, He told them: \u201cBefore Abraham was, I am.\u201d John, chapter 8, verse 51 to 59, there we find that passage where Christ speaks that way. And we can still see it; notice, chapter 8, verse 56 to 58, it says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYour father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now see how Jesus tells these Jews that before Abraham was He was; and He told them that Abraham had seen His day and rejoiced.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham, when he was eating with Elohim and the Archangels Gabriel and Michael the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, there in chapter 18 of Genesis, we find that what Jesus said was fulfilled: \u201cAbraham wanted to see my day; he saw it and was glad.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, even before Abraham, Jesus was also. He is the God of Abraham, of Isaac and Jacob, and of Moses, and He is also the God of Noah, He is also the God of Enoch, He is also the God of Methuselah, He is also the God of Seth, He is also the God of Adam.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the Word made flesh; and the Word made flesh: the Word was God, and the Word is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. In other words, God Himself in His theophanic body is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, which then became flesh and dwelt among the Hebrew people, and that is why He could say to them: \u201cBefore Abraham was, I am.\u201d And He could say to them: \u201cAbraham desired to see my day; he saw it and was glad.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob made Himself a body of flesh when He created a cell of life in Mary\u2019s womb, which multiplied cell upon cell; and thus the body of Jesus was created, who was born in Bethlehem of Judea, and God dwelt in that body in all His fullness. He was none other than Emmanuel, which means: God with us<\/span><\/span><\/span>5<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup>, God Himself!; that is why He could say<\/span><\/span><\/span>6<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup>: \u201cThe Father and I are one.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when Philip, in chapter 14 of John, says: \u201cLord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us,\u201d Jesus says: \u201cPhilip, I have been with you so long and you have not yet known me? Do you not know that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, and he who has seen me, has seen the Father?\u201d Because the Father was within that veil of flesh called Jesus.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can see the mystery of Christ: it is the manifestation of the heavenly Father, of God within that veil of flesh called Jesus.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, when Christ already knew that He had to leave, He said<\/span><\/span><\/span>7<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup>: \u201cI came out of the Father, and I return to the Father. I came out from God, and I return to God.\u201d And when He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, then the Dispensation of Grace began in all its fullness; and Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Angel of the Covenant in that Pillar of Fire was guiding His Church.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saint Paul was known by the name of Saul of Tarsus before he was converted to Christ; and as Saul of Tarsus, he believed that those who were in the way of Christ were heretics; and it says in the book of Acts, chapter 9, verse 1 and on:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Saul, yet breathing\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 9, verse 1 and on, it says, of the book of Acts:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>(in other words, the Christian path, the path of Jesus Christ)<\/span><\/span><\/span>, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i>Now see here: the same Light that appeared to Moses (which is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in that Pillar of Fire, in that Pillar of Light or Cloud of Light), now appears to Saul of Tarsus; and Saul of Tarsus knows that that is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the one who delivered the Hebrew people; He is the same Light, the same Cloud or Pillar of Fire; and now He is saying to him: \u201cSaul, Saul, why do you persecute me?\u201d Now Saul is persecuting the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Saul asks: \u201cWho are you, Lord?\u201d (in other words, \u201cWho are you, Elohim?\u201d). And now that Pillar of Fire says to him: \u201cI am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.\u201d The Lord Jesus Christ had returned to the Pillar of Fire, and now He was in the form of Pillar of Fire guiding His Church.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His physical and glorified body is sitting on the Throne of God in Heaven, but Jesus Christ is in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit, guiding His Church on her way to the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom and to the promised land of the new body that He has promised for each of you and for me too.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, in the trajectory of the Church of Jesus Christ towards the promised land, we have the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which is the same Lord Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit), guiding His Church, leading the heavenly Israel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we have seen that there is an earthly Israel, which is the Hebrew people, and there is a heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Both of them are being led by the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit). The Hebrew people have been guided, and now the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is being guided by the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That is why in the book of Exodus, chapter 23, verse 20 to 23, God says through the prophet Moses:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Where is the Eternal Name of God? It is in the Angel of the Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the Angel of the Lord is the same God in His theophanic body, for the Angel of the Lord said to Moses: \u201cI am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.\u201d God being in His theophanic body is known as the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And then when He became flesh and dwelt in the veil of flesh called Jesus, we have the Angel of the Lord in the form of a man called Jesus of Nazareth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a> And then when Jesus Christ died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, His body was placed on the Throne of God; and He, in Holy Spirit, has been in the midst of His Church, the same Angel of the Covenant that delivered the Hebrew people and led them to the promised land for 40 years through the wilderness; and now for approximately 2,000 years He has been guiding the heavenly Israel, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, from age to age and from generation to generation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And soon we will arrive at the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom, at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, and the promised land of the new body, where the dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be transformed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That is why the final call of Christ is so important, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet; it is the Voice of Christ in the Last Day calling and gathering all His elect in this end time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And that Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, in the Last Day will be making known to us all these things that must happen soon; for in Revelation, chapter 1, we have in verse 10 to 11 the words of John the apostle, which says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was in the Spirit on the Lord\u2019s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who is the Alpha and Omega?, who is the first and last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; the Voice of Christ as a Great Voice of Trumpet speaking to His Church in the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium; because the Last Day before God is the seventh millennium for the human race.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now, in chapter 4, verse 1, John the apostle says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Christ with that Voice of Trumpet promises to make known the things that will come to pass; but for that you have to go up where? To the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age where He would be manifested in the Last Day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because He has been leading His Church from age to age; and now He leads her to the Age of the Cornerstone, where He speaks to her and reveals to her all these things that must shortly come to pass, in this end time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6 and on, it tells us through whom are made known all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just as when God went to deliver the Hebrew people He had to have a man, and that was the prophet Moses; and through the prophet Moses He spoke to the Hebrew people and delivered the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And for the Last Day, Christ has to have a man, a prophet on Earth, to through that prophet speak to His Church all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now let\u2019s see who is that prophet messenger of Jesus Christ for the Last Day. Revelation 22, verse 6 and on, it says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd 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.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who does He send to show His servants the things that must soon come to pass? His Angel Messenger, the prophet messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. And in that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom brought by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, anointed by the Holy Spirit, all these things that must come to pass soon are made known, in this end time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And in Revelation 22, verse 16, again Jesus reconfirms that He has sent His Angel, and says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have the reconfirmation that Jesus has sent His Angel Messenger to testify of all these things that must come to pass in this end time; in the guidance of the Pillar of Fire in this Last Day. Guiding who? Guiding His people, His Church; and then He will guide the Hebrew people, when He reveals Himself to the Hebrew people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTHE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just as the Hebrew people were guided by the Pillar of Fire in the deliverance that God carried out back then through Moses, delivering the Hebrew people from Egypt, from bondage in Egypt, and taking them through the wilderness towards the promised land; now Christ has been guiding His Church, the same Pillar of Fire, the same Angel of the Covenant, leading His Church through these two thousand years that have passed, approximately; and He will take us to the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and to the promised land of the new body, the eternal body that He will give us when the dead in Christ resurrect in eternal bodies and we who are alive are transformed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is so because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is <\/span><\/span><\/span>THE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>, by the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ our Savior, guiding His Church: Him in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And through His Angel Messenger in the Last Day, He will be manifested and will be making known to us all these things that must happen soon; and with the Angel Messenger will be the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, guiding His Church; just as He was in every age with the angel messenger of each age, guiding His Church.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTHE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It has been a great privilege for me, kind friends and brethren present and listeners, to be with you on this occasion testifying to you of <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cTHE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

May God continue to bless you all, and with us again the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin to continue this activity tonight.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

May you all have a good evening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTHE PEOPLE GUIDED BY THE PILLAR OF FIRE.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
