THE FEAST OF
THE TRUMPETS
Rev. William Soto Santiago, Ph.D.
Sunday, September 23rd, 2012
Cayey, Puerto Rico
Very good morning or good afternoon, beloved friends
and brethren present and those who are through the satellite Amazonas or
Internet in different nations. A very special greeting to the
missionary, doctor Miguel Bermudez Marin and doctor, reverend Andres
Cruz Gallego there at the Voice of the Cornerstone, there in
Villahermosa, Mexican Republic; may God bless you richly and may use you
greatly in His Work in this end time, and to all the ministers who are
listening on this occasion, may God bless you richly and use you greatly
along with your congregations in the work of evangelism, in all the
labors in the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
For this occasion we read Leviticus, chapter 23, verses 23, to 25, it says:
"And the LORD
(that is , the eternal One) spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
In the seventh month, in the first day of the
month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an
holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD (
in other words, unto the eternal One)."
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
"THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS."
That’s our subject for this occasion:
Throughout all the feasts God gave to the Hebrew
people to keep, which feasts commemorate events of the history of the
people of Israel, but which are also prophetic, they speak of events
that will rise in the history of Israel and of the entire human race,
which events will be parallel to those previous events, and consequently
those events, which are commemorated in these Hebrew feasts, are type
and shadow of things that will take place later on, after those events
which took place in other times.
With the commemoration of those feasts or rather
those past feasts being commemorated in those past events, the history
of Israel is kept alive, because a people without history it’s not a
people; it is a group of people which are not born as a people yet.
Therefore, it is important that the people, the
citizens of a nation know their history; the parents are responsible
like the government through the school system and other means of
communication, to remind and to teach their children the history of the
nation, they must teach it to the sons, to the grandsons and to the
great grandsons. In other words, it is always for the father to continue
teaching the grandchildren and the grand grandchildren, the generations
he has; he is also responsible to assist the generations that have come
from him, thus to keep his nation’s history alive, and the history of
the family and of the person as an individual.
There he will be able to see how God has worked in
their lives as individuals, as a family and as a nation. Therefore it is
important to know the history and to teach it to the children, and at
the same time to see that history repeats itself in other generations,
and therefore the history which is commemorated in these Jewish feasts
becomes prophetic also, it is being announced that these things will
come to pass later on, with other people in other future times.
Therefore, these feasts are type and shadow of events
which will come later on with God’s people, with the Church of the Lord
Jesus Christ and the with the entire human race. Each one placed in the
position he will be occupying at the time in which the things that are
in those feasts are repeated.
Therefore, we can see that the Work of God is
cyclical; it has cycles where things which happened in other times are
being repeated but with other people. That’s why Jesus when He was
prophesying about the Coming of the Son of Man, He said that it would be
as the days of Noah, that is, it would be parallel to how it was in the
days of Noah, and He also said that it would be as in the days of Lot.
If we examine those days, we can see that in the days
of Noah the time for divine judgment had come, and Noah was proclaiming
the divine judgment that would come for that time, that is to say, he
was as in the feast of the Trumpets which is where the coming judgment
is proclaimed.
We find that in order for that divine judgment to be
proclaimed on the Earth, God had to reveal Himself to a person who
carried out the sacrifice for his sin and of his family, which is why
the Scripture says he was just before God, because his sins and the sins
of his family were covered with the blood of those little animals he
offered for his sin and of his family; he was the main priest, the high
priest of his family.
And God revealed Himself to him because Noah was a
prophet and had both consciences together, He revealed Himself to Noah,
Noah is also a dispensational prophet. The first one was Adam who spoke
with God and God with him; the second one was Seth who spoke with God,
and in the days of Seth people started, men started to call themselves
by the Name of God; the third one, third Noah. The dispensation of Adam
was the one of innocence; conscience was the one of Seth, human
government the one of Noah.
Then notice, Noah brought the message of divine
judgment that was to fall upon the human race, because God judged and
said: "I will blot out man which I created off the earth," time for
divine judgment had come, but God does not bring judgment upon the
mankind without warning them first, and that’s why He always has to have
a prophet with both consciences together to whom He makes known what He
is going to do: "For the Lord shall do nothing, but He first revealeth
His secrets to His servants, His prophets."
For every period of time when God is going to do
something on the Earth, He has a prophet messenger for that Age or
Dispensation. The message for an Age is brought by God by means of His
Spirit to the messenger of that Age, and he brings It to his Age, and
that message covers the whole Age of that messenger. If he is a
dispensational messenger he brings a Dispensational message to that
whole Dispensation where he speaks blessings, speaks of things people
have to do, how to prepare themselves to receive God’s blessings and he
also speaks the divine judgments that will come upon those who don’t
hold fast to that dispensation and to that which God establishes for
that dispensation; both, believers as well as unbelievers, everyone is
framed in that dispensation.
And whoever ignores, it doesn’t mean that he is not
responsible to know the things that pertain to that time. It is like on
Earth: there are laws in each nation, and the fact that someone doesn’t
know them, it doesn’t mean he is exempt to comply with them. Therefore,
he is not exempt of complying with the laws of his country. And likewise
are the divine laws of the Kingdom of God: everyone ought to know them,
they are found in the Scripture, the Word of God.
Therefore, in all that Divine Program that is being
carried out, we find that its cycles are repeated and the people act as
the people of that other cycle which already passed by in another time.
It’s like the hours of the day, of months, of weeks;
the days of the week, the days and the weeks of a month; the days,
weeks…the hours, the days, weeks and months of a year; the hours…days,
months, weeks and years of a century, and so on, notice, there is a
repetition.
We are at a certain hour [time] of the day, but
yesterday we were at the same hour [time], but of another day, but what
the clock does is to turn around in another cycle which corresponds to
another day, but it is the same clock with the same system to tick the
same time which it ticked yesterday, but pertaining to another day.
And the same is with the days, 24 hours: a day ends,
another day starts. Among the Gentiles, in most of the nations the days
end at 12pm and right there a new day starts; among the Jews the day
ends at sun set and a new day starts.
That’s why in the day that the majority of the
Gentiles have, the majority of the Gentile nations, they only have light
from morning till the evening, but among the Jews each day has light in
the evening, morning and evening again because their days end at the
evening time where there is still light, and a new day starts with
light; at the evening time there shall be light for a new day that’s
beginning, but it’s a light for a short period of time, and thereafter
the night comes and thereafter the light comes back in the morning.
The first light that is seen in a new Hebrew day is
the evening light, and that light is the light of the West, and then for
the second time it is seen the light of the new day, of that new day
that began, that already started, and it begins in the morning at dawn
until the evening.
Among Jews the light is seen twice: in the evening
time first and thereafter again in the morning until the evening, but
there is only one period of night time for them; the night of the day
that started; among the gentiles one experiences the night, half of the
night of the day which is ending, and half of the night of the day which
is starting; and the other half you’ll experience it after the day with
light is over, you’ll experience it again from 6:00 in the evening
until 12:00 pm at night.
In other words, the Jews experience the night as a
whole, in one shot; the gentiles experience the night split up in two
parts, one part during the day that will end, and the other part for the
day which is starting, that starts at night; and among the Jews, they
experience the night of only one day, but they see the light of two
days: of the day which is ending by the West, and of the day that starts
by the East.
That means a lot in the spiritual realm: the
spiritual light of the Day which we are speaking of, the Day of the
Feast of the Trumpets, that light will be seen by the West, and
thereafter it will also be seen by the East; it will be first seen in
the West, and thereafter in the East, in the Hebrew days; because the
sun sets by the West and then it comes up by the East after the night
has elapsed.
Now, as far as the feast of Trumpets which is carried
out the first day of the seventh month, first of Tishrei, that is the
great and dreadful day; that day or divine cycle represents the divine
cycle in which God will judge the world and consequently the human
beings, and He will be announcing that divine judgment that is to come,
and the announcement of that judgment will be the trumpet, the feast of
Trumpets sounding, the feast of Trumpets being made known.
In Revelation, chapter 14…remember that "if the
trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare for the battle? says
Paul in First Corinthians, chapter 14, verse 8. These trumpets that God
commanded Moses, Moses was commanded to make two silver trumpets to be
blown at the various Hebrew feasts, for the Sabbath, also for the new
moon, and for the day to call the people to the feasts, to call the
people to war also; depending on the sound that the trumpet would utter,
the people would be called for.
It is like at the army when the trumpet sounds in the
morning, it is for the soldiers to wake up, to get ready, but when it
is for war; that has already a different sound; that’s how God commanded
Moses: "…The trumpet will sounds so many times when it is for war," and
He also says to Moses: "If it is for such thing, you should use only
one trumpet, if it is for something else, or such thing, you will use
both trumpets," and so on.
In other words, depending on the sound, this is why
it has to give a certain sound. If it is for war and it gives the sound
which is to wake up and to go to bath, all soldiers will be killed; if
it is for war and it gives the sound to go to sleep, they will also be
killed. The trumpet must give a certain sound, just the same as when
they use it for music, to accompany artists and that, if the artist, the
singer, his musical piece is such and such, and the one that
blows the trumpet interprets with the trumpet the music which pertains
to another song, it is giving an uncertain sound and it is creating
confusion.
So it is the sound of the trumpet in Bible terms. In
First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 11 to 21 and also chapter…and
First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 50 and onwards speak of trumpets.
So, it is not only in the Old Testament but in the New Testament also,
because that back there is type and shadow of that which under the New
Covenant will be carried out in the spiritual realm in the midst of
Christianity.
The sound of a trumpet, to sound a trumpet is to
bring a message, it is God through His Spirit speaking to the people
through a messenger that He has for that time, "for surely the Lord will
do nothing, but He revealeth His secrets to His servants, His
prophets," and Zechariah in chapter 7, says that God spoke through His
Spirit by means of His prophets, and also Paul in Hebrews, chapter 1,
verse 1 and onwards says:
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets."
How did God speak? Through the prophets, God speaks
to the prophet which is the one that has both consciences together to
hear from God, and the prophet speaks to the people the message God
wants the people to hear, and that is God speaking in the prophet
through human lips, anointed by the Holy Spirit, that is the man
anointed for that time, whether for an age or for a dispensation. It
says:
"Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son
(that is, through Jesus Christ), whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person…"
Who is the express image of God? Jesus Christ in His
heavenly body, and the physical likeness of God is the physical body of
Jesus Christ, which was crucified as Atonement for our sins, in
Atonement for our sins.
Which is why the temple has already been removed, the
sacrifice which had to be made in the temple in Jerusalem is no longer
carried out for the temple was removed and it was there where it had to
be carried out and the blood carried into the most holy place of that
earthly temple.
Christ carried His own Blood to the heavenly Temple
to the Mercy Seat, the Throne of Intercession, the Throne of God; and He
is as high priest after the Order of Melchizedek making intercession
for everyone who receives Him as only and sufficient Saviour, and for
those who have already received Him and commit some fault, mistake or
sin and confess it to Christ, Christ cleanses them with His Blood from
all sin and thus He keeps them clean, and before God that person is
someone without sin, he is a just person before God, as though he had
never sinned in life. And now:
"…and upholding all things by the word of his
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high;
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
And now, the Priesthood Order which has the
intercession work, the High Priest and the intercession for the sins of
the human being, is in Heaven: it is Jesus Christ as High Priest after
the Order of Melchizedek; He is the High Priest Melchizedek of the
heavenly Temple. Therefore, intercession now is directly in the heavenly
Temple, there is no longer intercession in the earthly temple, it
doesn’t longer exist and the one of the earthly temple was type and
shadow of the heavenly Temple; and the earthly priesthood order of Aaron
was type and shadow of the heavenly Order of Melchizedek.
And now, all the believers in Christ belong to that
Priesthood Order of Melchizedek; First Peter, chapter 2, verses 4 to 10,
says that all believers in Christ are priests, says chapter 2, verse 9
and onwards:
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth
the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light."
Here it shows us that the believers in Christ are a
royal priesthood, a chosen generation; the heavenly priesthood order,
notice, it has the High Priest which is Christ and all the believers in
Christ who are priests: Christ has made us priests of the heavenly
Temple. Notice here also, Revelation, chapter 1, verse 5 to 6, says:
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings
of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
And in chapter 5 of Revelation, verses 9 to 10 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."
And in chapter 20 of Revelation, verses 4 to 6 says:
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received
his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy
is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death
hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and
shall reign with him a thousand years."
Here we find in the Book of Revelation three places.
plus First of Peter, chapter 2, verse 9 which I showed you, and it says
that we belong to the royal Priesthood, that heavenly royal Priesthood
which is of Melchizedek, of which Christ is the High Priest of the
heavenly Temple, and the believers in Christ are priests with Christ of
that Order of Melchizedek.
That’s why the prayers, the songs, the praises, the
worship go directly to Christ the High Priest, and Christ passes them
unto God; it is through Christ, in the Name of Christ that we carry out
all these things concerning this work of priests after the Order of
Melchizedek, and all these is found in the spiritual realm. It is
important to know these things to know what we have received from God,
all this wonderful heavenly inheritance, and also the earthly
inheritance that He will give us in His millennial Kingdom.
Now, let’s see here Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11 says:
"I
was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet…"
Here we have the Trumpet, the Trumpet is the Voice of
Christ, the Voice of God speaking in the midst of His Church and to His
Church, but in a heavenly Age, no longer in the seven Church Ages’ it
is in the Lord’s Day, that august Day, the day in which the feast of the
Trumpets will be sounding in the midst of His Church, in other words,
will be heard, because the Voice of Christ through His Spirit in the
midst of the Church is the Voice of the Trumpet.
"…Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last…"
Who is Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the
last? The Lord Jesus Christ, it is the Voice of Christ speaking. But now
look here, Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6 to 7 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."
An Angel is a messenger, the angels are not the ones
who preach the Gospel, it is the human beings; a messenger preaching the
Gospel of the Kingdom, the eternal Gospel to all the inhabitants of the
Earth, to all nations, all tribes, tongues and peoples, in other words,
he comes with a message for the entire human family. Watch what that
message announces:
"…Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come…"
He comes, announcing the hour of divine judgment, and
it is the Trumpet of the feast of the Trumpets which announces the day
of divine judgment; and on Earth, notice what Malachi says, chapter 4,
verse 1 and onwards, 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, saith the LORD
(that is, the eternal One) of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
He comes, announcing the day burning as an oven,
announcing the divine judgment, announcing that there will be volcanoes,
volcanic fire, volcanic lava, volcanic ash, sea quakes, earthquakes,
sea quakes; he will be announcing that there will be a third atomic
world war, and with that world war the degrees of inclination the Earth
has will be straighten up, and thus it will get ready for the millennial
Kingdom where the temperature will be so good that in the homes no air
conditioning will be required, and the temperature problem will be
resolved.
But there will be serious problems during that span
of time of three and half years which pertains to the last part of the
seventieth week of Daniel’s prophesy, and which corresponds to the so
called great tribulation or Jacob’s trouble of Jeremiah, chapter 30.
Malachi 4, continues saying:
"But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth,
and grow up as calves of the stall."
See? To them that fear the Name of the Lord, the
believers, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in his
wings. In Hosea speaks about the sun, it says Hosea, chapter 6, verse 1
and onwards says… and chapter 5, verse 15 says:
"I will go and return to my place, till they
acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they
will seek me early."
And then in chapter 6, verse 1 and onwards says:
"Come, and let us return unto the LORD
(here they are already looking for Him): for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight
(that resurrection is a revival, a spiritual awakening for Israel, spiritual life).
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD
(that is, to know the eternal One)."
In Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 14 says that the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, of Jehovah, as
the waters cover the sea, and that is also spoken in Isaiah, chapter 11,
verse 9; in other words, the time is coming where God will teach His
people, His children, and everyone will be taught by God "and everyone
shall know Me," says the Lord.
"Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD
(that is, the eternal One): his going forth is prepared as the morning…"
In other words, as the morning, because for the
Church it will be the evening light in the West, the evening light, but
for Israel it will be the morning light when it rises in Israel, but if
they see it in the West, well then they are seeing the same light which
they will see in the morning of a new dispensational day; morning for
them; they will see it in the evening time in the West which pertains to
the evening in the midst of Christianity. As simple as that.
And there they shall see God, the God of Abraham, of
Isaac and of Jacob being manifested to His people, to His Church. His
Church, the redeemed ones under the New Covenant which Christ
established with the Blood of the New Covenant and the Sacrifice
pertaining to the New Covenant.
"…his going forth is prepared as the morning
(when that light emerges, when the day brakes in
Israel, for them it is the morning light, when it appears there. If they
are in the West, in the American Continent, then they shall see the
evening light, the same light that will be manifested there in Israel…
his going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall come unto us
as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."
In other words, the rain of the Gospel of Grace and
the rain of the Gospel of the Kingdom; the Former Rain is the rain of
the Gospel of Grace, the teaching of the Gospel of Grace, and the Latter
rain is the teaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom; they are showers of
blessing for the believers in Christ and also for the Hebrew people.
Therefore, that which Israel will learn, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will
learn it first. As simple as that, and She is going to work in favor of
Israel for God to have mercy upon Israel, upon Jerusalem and peace may
come for Jerusalem, for the whole of Israel and the entire Middle east
and the whole of mankind.
And peace for Israel and for all of mankind is in the
Kingdom of the Messiah to which many peoples will join, all the peoples
which are represented in the sheep that appear in the parable of the
Lord, the Son of Man seeking, gathering all the nations, placing at His
left the…as the shepherd does who places the goats on his left hand,
likewise He will place some nations on His left; just as the shepherd
places the sheep on his right hand side; likewise Christ will do in the
judgment that He will carry out, He will place nations on His right hand
side, in other words, these are nations that will enter the Kingdom of
the Messiah. It will have to do with their history, the history of those
nations in respect to the Hebrew people, how they treated the Hebrew
people and how they treated the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. So, a
very important time is approaching for the entire human race; for
Christianity we find the promise of a trumpet sounding in this end time,
and for the Hebrew people we also find the promise of a trumpet
sounding in this end time. Notice, Revelation 11, we already read
Revelation 14, verse 6 to 7, now notice what Revelation 11, verse 15 and
onwards says:
"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were
great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become
the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever
and ever."
Notice, that trumpet is blown by the two Olive Trees,
the ministries of Moses and Elijah announcing that the kingdoms of this
world will become of the Messiah, of the Christ, of the Lord: "…and he shall reign for ever and ever
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God
(this is a good news).
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee
thy great power, and hast reigned
(that is the good news for the believers in Christ and for the Hebrew people).
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come,
and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name, small and great
(it is a time of blessing for the believers in God,
both, believers of Christianity as well as those of the Hebrew people
who will be sealed, also a blessing for Israel); and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth..".
That’s the bad part for a portion of mankind; those
who destroy the earth with wars and products that harm the environment
and with many other things, they will be judged and will be destroyed
according to this prophesy.
The beast and his kingdom, the kingdom of the
gentiles in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, it says that the
stone not cut by hands which is to come and which is the Coming of the
Lord, smites that statue which is the kingdom of the Gentiles from the
time of Nebuchadnezzar up to the feet of iron and clay, and it will
break it into pieces; the kingdom of the Gentiles will be removed and
the kingdoms of this world will be given to the Messiah, which will have
its Capital in Jerusalem and the entire Israel will be the Federal
District and that territory will also be bigger, and the Middle East
will have peace, Israel will have peace and all nations will have peace
in the Kingdom of the Messiah.
That will be the Coming of the Kingdom of God, it
will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David and the restoration of
the Throne of David, for the Throne of David is the earthly Throne of
God, and the Kingdom of David is the earthly Kingdom of God; you can get
it in First Chronicles, there by chapter 28 and 29…First Chronicles,
chapter 28 from verse 4 and onwards, and chapter 29, verse 22 to 23:
"Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD
(that is, the throne of the eternal One, the Lord) as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him."
The only hope that there is for peace for Israel, for
permanent peace, is in the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Messiah will
bring it; which is why Elijah who is promised in Malachi, chapter 4: "Behold…" let’s read it:
"Remember…"
chapter 4, verse 4 onwards, it says:
"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD
(in other words, of the eternal One, the Lord)."
In other words, that even before the day of divine
judgment falling upon the earth arrives, the judgment of the great
tribulation, before the great tribulation starts, already Elijah,
already the ministry of Elijah, that is, the Holy Spirit will have a man
of this end time anointed with that ministerial spirit operating that
ministry and speaking of these things:
"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come
and smite the earth with a curse."
Lest I come (that is the Coming of the Lord) and
smite the Earth with a curse," in other words, the ministry of Elijah
will be on earth proclaiming everlasting peace which the Messiah shall
bring in His Messianic Kingdom, and he will be preparing the way to the
Messiah telling all the things the Messiah will be doing in His Kingdom;
the blessings He will bring to Israel and the divine judgments that He
will bring against those that will arise against Israel and all those
who will rise against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then, the great tribulation, and in the great
tribulation the divine judgment will fall upon the planet earth and upon
the human beings, and that is "to smite the earth with a curse," that
is, those curses will be spoken, will be made known and the reason why
they will come upon the Earth. Notice here, chapter 6, verse 12 and
onwards, in the Book of Revelation, says:
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal
(and the sixth seal is Moses and Elijah, the
ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the two Olive Trees of
Revelation, chapter 11, verse 1 to 14 and Zechariah, chapter 4, verse 1
to 14), and I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal and, lo,
there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
May God keep Puerto Rico safe, there is a prophesy in
the Book of Job in the old versions [also English version] which says
that God will deliver the island of the innocent, and notice, the shield
of Puerto Rico has the lamb upon the Book of the seven Seals, so
something is shown there for Puerto Rico and it’s good, that’s the good
part for Puerto Rico.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and
the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb
(it is because the Throne of Mercy when Christ leaves
It as High Priest and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah and takes
the Book, the Throne turns into a Throne of judgment to judge the world,
and of judgment without mercy):
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
In other words, that which is coming is terrible:
three years of great tribulation where even the Earth will change its
shape, it will straighten up, the temperature will be more uniform (it
will be uniform), where the volcanic ash falling on the ground, around
the globe, will make the ground again fertile for those who will inhabit
the Earth in the Kingdom of the Messiah in Israel, in the Middle east
and in all nations.
It is important to understand these things so that
when the time of the squeeze comes, we may know where we are standing
and never deny Christ, because He loves us and gave us salvation freely;
we will not allow anyone else to take our crown.
And now, in Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 14 and onwards, says:
"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not
prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord."
Now, notice Christ is the One who is speaking,
notice, He speaks: "For the Lord Himself with a Shout," that’s
acclamation, that’s the acclamation to gather the people; "with Voice of
Archangel," in other words, a dispensational message. That’s the Voice
of the resurrection, the same Voice that spoke to Lazarus: "Come forth,
come out," it resurrected him, the same Voice which has been all along
in the midst of the Church, speaking through the different messengers,
the same Voice that spoke on Mount Sinai, is the One that speaks in this
Voice of Archangel at the Last Day; it is the same Voice that spoke
through the prophets, the same Voice that spoke through Moses, through
Joshua and through the rest of the prophets, and through Jesus Christ,
the Voice of God.
It is the Voice of God sounding the Final Trumpet,
the great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet by means of the two Olive
Trees of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, it says:
"And he shall send his angels with a great sound
of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
Notice, that Voice of Trumpet is to gather, to
congregate, that’s the feast of the Trumpets being materialized, and
being fulfilled in this end time to gather the elect the Hebrew people,
the elect who are one hundred and forty four thousand Hebrews, twelve
thousand of each tribe of the children of Israel; and all that is the
feast of the Trumpets, which is for this end time. For this end time it
is the seventh Trumpet that sounds to carry out or to make known, to
speak that which has to be spoken.
What did I read to you? "The kingdoms of this world
are become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ," and all that was
read in chapter 11 of Revelation; chapter 11, verse 15 to 19 and chapter
11, in verse 1 to 14 we find the ministries of the two Olive Trees
speaking the plagues that will fall upon the earth, making known to the
people the judgments that will befall the Earth; that will be God
through His Spirit speaking through the ministry of Elijah and Moses in
the veil of flesh that He has in order to carry out that work, whom He
will anoint with His Spirit so that through His Spirit he may speak to
the people being anointed by the Holy Spirit, that’s the Holy Spirit
speaking through human lips at the Last Day.
Which is why Israel is expecting the coming of Elijah
who will be proclaiming everlasting peace, and consequently they will
be expecting a man of this end time preaching, proclaiming everlasting
peace, and also making known all these things, because he will be
forerunning all these things that will come to pass.
So they will recognize him when they see him
speaking, that which Elijah will be speaking or whoever has the Holy
Spirit operating that ministry in him, will be a clear identification,
for they will recognize him, he will know how to make known all things
that will come to pass.
We are in the greatest time of all times. Notice the
silence there is, that there is no explanation about why the feast of
the Trumpets, but it is commemorating the day of creation: "In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth." And the dreadful day
of the Lord, the august day is also enclosed in silence, where God will
judge the world, where the divine judgment that will come upon the human
race will be announced, as it was in the days of Noah, when he was
announcing the divine judgment that was coming upon the human race at
that time.
Whether people understood or not, he was speaking it,
and they didn’t believe, only him and his family were saved in the ark;
only eight persons. And what about if they were eight in our time? What
would you say? Everyone being a firm believer, you say: "I am one of
them, if it is only eight; well I am one of them.
Now, don’t worry, we are in the eight, the Age of the
Cornerstone, eight pertains to the golden Age; eight speaks of a
beginning, one goes back to the day of creation, one starts, one goes
back to the day of eternity, because eight speaks of eternity, in other
words, there is no problem. So, the eight there at that time, well it
represents those who will be saved.
Now, Enoch represent the ones that will be raptured
in chariots of fire, which are flying saucers, chariots of fire as when
Elijah left; and Noah represents the Jews, the hundred and forty four
thousand Jews that will go through the great tribulation and will be
saved. It doesn’t mean that they will not die, but they will have
eternal Life, they will be the guardians that will serve in the Kingdom
of the Messiah, they will be the guardians of the temple and will serve
the Messiah and the Wife of the Messiah, the Church of the Lord Jesus
Christ and to everyone, to all Israel.
In other words, they will have to do, they will have a
very special mission in the Kingdom of the Messiah; there appear the
ones from the different tribes, there will be more of the lost tribes
than of the tribe of Judah and of Benjamin, why? Because the tribe of
Judah and Benjamin are only twenty four thousand, and of the lost tribes
one hundred and twenty thousand, right? Hundred and twenty thousand and
twenty four thousand: one hundred and forty four thousand.
Therefore the big number of the elect, of the relics
of Israel will be the lost tribes, and we will leave it alone. Without
the lost tribes to form, to restore the Kingdom of the Messiah, Israel
cannot have the Kingdom of David being restored, cannot have the Kingdom
of God on Earth.
The big number belongs to the lost tribes, but they
are not lost, God knows them, He knows where they are. In the parable of
the hidden treasure of Matthew, chapter 13, verse 44 to 45 of
Matthew…we will give you the quotation properly: 44:
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field
(the field, well it is the world with all the
nations, and the treasure are the lost tribes, the ten tribes which were
scattered throughout the whole world); the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field."
Christ paid the price with His own life, His own
body, for those lost tribes; he bought the field and He hid them, He
left the treasure hidden, and He knows how to call them: the call is
with the Trumpet of the feast of the Trumpets. The lost tribes will
respond to that call, to that Trumpet, Voice of Trumpet. Isaiah, chapter
27, verse 13, says with great Trumpet…
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the
great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to
perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt,
and shall worship the LORD
(that is, the eternal One) in the holy mount at Jerusalem."
In other words, there will a great meeting in
Jerusalem, and above all the one hundred and forty four thousand from
which "one hundred and twenty thousand are from the lost tribes, and
twenty four thousand of the tribe of Judah and of the tribe of Benjamin.
Without the lost tribes the Kingdom cannot be
restored, why? Because the Blessing of the Birthright, the birthrights
pertain to Joseph and his sons, and if the Blessing of the Birthright is
a double portion, that’s why it’s got two tribes, the tribe of Manasseh
and the tribe of Ephraim form the tribe of Joseph, if they are
mentioned separately then they are thirteen tribes.
The Blessing of the Birthright makes out of twelve,
thirteen. And it has fallen upon Ephraim the great blessing in being
blessed first; therefore, Manasseh represents Israel which would be a
great nation, and Ephraim represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ
which would have the Blessing of the Birthright, the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit and the blessing to Ephraim says that "he will form a
multitude of nations." That’s why the Gospel is gone to all nations, and
from all nations has been called for the Lord, a people for His Name’s
sake.
So, notice, the Church is made up throughout all the
ages from different nations, and likewise physically there are many
rulers who know they are Hebrew descendants and there are others who
don’t know; and perhaps the rulers are thousands and those involved in
politics, descendants of the tribe of Ephraim which is the tribe that
has the Blessing of the Birthright, heading the ten tribes.
When the Kingdom was divided at the time of Solomon’s
son, Rehoboam, ten tribes were given to Jeroboham, and Jeroboham was a
descendant of Ephraim and consequently a descendant of Joseph, a
descendant of the one who had the Blessing of the Birthright.
The Kingdom cannot be completed without the ten
tribes, to become the Kingdom of David being restored, but that will be
solved, and it has been prophesied and everything will work for all of
God’s Program to be carried out, because it is a Divine Program and
therefore He is the One who will carry it out and will move the relevant
pieces for all that to take place.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be blessed,
and the Hebrew people will also be blessed in that Program and also all
the nations, and there wars will be finished, wars are finished and what
comes is peace and happiness and prosperity and "knowledge of the glory
of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."
Religious disputes will also be finished because all
the religions will come to the full knowledge of God and then no more
religious systems are needed, but everyone will be serving God the way
established by God in the Kingdom of the Messiah. The Scripture says:
"And on that day the Lord will be one, and His Name one." Only one Name
for God, everyone will bear the Name of God, all the believers, all the
people and nations that will enter the Kingdom of the Messiah.
Therefore, the time for the feast of the Trumpets,
which lasted 24 hours but thereafter, ten days later, the day of
atonement came; with that Feast of the Trumpets the call was to seek God
as it also says in Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6 to 7, that
messengers says it, that Angel: "Praise God, and give glory to Him for
the hour of His judgment is come."
A time of preparation with God to attain mercy and
for the believers in Christ to be prepared in order to be changed and
carried with Christ to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, and for the Jews
to be reconciled with God, obtain God’s mercy and obtain divine
forgiveness, and for God to return to Israel: God in Spirit, the Spirit
of God will return to Israel and will dwell in the midst of Israel and
will dwell in that Kingdom through the Messiah, the Messiah the Prince,
to rule in that Kingdom, that Kingdom over Israel and over all the
nations, and Israel to be head of all nations, it will be the Capital of
the world.
Have you seen how the Feast of the Trumpets extends
up to our time? It had fulfillment at short range there, and then it had
fulfillment to be fulfilled at long range, there was an ample
fulfillment, and that pertains to our time.
Therefore, this is a time to seek God, to fix our
lives with God, each one as an individual recognizing everything that is
wrong in your life and to fix it with God, and that’s a personal issue
between you and God.
The same will happen with Israel when the time will
come for it to wake up and to receive that spiritual awakening, that
revival, notice what it says here [Zechariah] chapter 12, verse 8 and
onwards says:
"In that day shall the LORD
(that is, the eternal One) defend the inhabitants
of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as
David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD
before them.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will
seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will
pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the spirit of grace and of supplications
(notice, ‘and I will pour upon the house of David,’ the house is the seed of David and the monarchy of David):
and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall
mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in
bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the
family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of
the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart."
In other words, there will be a time for them to
mourn for having sinned against God and having rejected Christ as the
Messiah the Prince, and that’s why they will ask: And which wounds are
these in Your hands and in Your feet? Which wounds are these?" Verse 4: "On that Day saith the Lord…" it was verse 10:
"…and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced…"
Now, verse 1 of chapter 13 says:
"In that day there shall be a fountain opened to
the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for
uncleanness
Now, notice, it continues saying).
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the
land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the
prophets and the unclean spirit
(in other words, false prophets) to pass out of the land."
In other words, that there is a time coming where God
will be speaking face to face with Israel, and it will be through the
ministry of Moses and Elijah, and thereafter through the Messiah, and
that’s very close. As there was silence there in the reading we had in
chapter 23, verse 23 to 25 of Leviticus in the Feast of the Trumpets, in
that silence was not explained the purpose of that feast which was
being commemorated, likewise when the Seventh Seal is opened in
Revelation, chapter 8, it says: "And when he had opened the seventh
seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
And also when Christ was speaking of the Coming of
the Son of Man, then He went into parables and spoke of the fig tree
which is Israel, that " when we see it budding and its leaves putting
forth, summer is nigh," in other words, the Kingdom of God is near for
the restoration of the Kingdom of David, that’s the Kingdom of God with
Israel on Earth.
And He had also said in Luke, chapter 21, that "when
we see these things coming to pass, to lift up our heads" towards the
heavenly things, of course; "for our redemption," (the redemption is the
redemption of the body, our transformation and the resurrection in
eternal bodies of the believers who died). Our redemption, the adoption
is nigh, our transformation is near when we see these things coming to
pass, and we have been seeing them coming to pass since many years back.
The fig tree: Israel, has budded, it is a free and sovereign nation.
So we can see that we must set our minds, our heads,
on the heavenly things which are permanent, because through the Final
Trumpet, the Voice of God says here in the Scripture, that He is going
to judge all nations, and the divine judgment will come upon the human
race, upon nature, even the stars and all these things: the sun, the
moon and the stars.
There is a powerful earthquake that is about to take
place, the one of California, in chapter 16, of Revelation, it is the
earthquake that pertains to the West, because in the West is that… the
American Continent covers North America, Central America and Latin
America; and consequently it is the place where judgment will start
falling upon the planet Earth, judgment of the great tribulation with
that earthquake, because the sixth seal opens with a very great
earthquake, that’s also the earthquake of the resurrection. Look here,
chapter 12, verse 25 of Hebrews onwards, says:
"See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if
they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall
not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be
moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear:
For our God is a consuming fire."
Now notice, it said "the Voice then shook the
earth,’ it says that "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also
heaven." Now we are going to see that Voice which was, same chapter 12,
verse 18 onwards says:
"For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched
(that is, Sinai), and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
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."
See, the sound of what? of the trumpet, there you
find the trumpet again. We are in a very important time of great
blessing for the believers in Christ. And for mankind, for the world
that has turned its back on Christ, of much sadness that will come on
the human race during the time of the great Voice of Trumpet, and there
won’t be a place to escape. You heard the reading that people will speak
to the mountains and to the rocks to hide them from the presence of the
Lamb, from the wrath of the Lamb, of the One that is sitting… "and from
the one that sitteth upon the Throne," because it’s the day of wrath of
God that will be poured upon the human race as it was poured in the
days of Noah with the flood, and in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah with
fire falling upon the Earth.
Notice, at the time of the reverend William Branham
there was something parallel to the time of Lot, because as three Angels
appeared to Abraham, which was Elohim, God in His angelical body that
was materialized, it was materialized from the dust of the ground and
also the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, and they ate with Abraham. And
there were three great preachers in the time of the reverend William
Branham, as there were three important persons visiting Abraham; and
Abraham’s seed, Christianity, notice, the reverend Branham in whom was
God, Elohim, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, three important preachers,
evangelists God sent to Christianity in the end time.
The reverend William Branham already finished his
time on Earth, he left, but Oral Roberts and Billy Graham remain, then
for this end time the ministries of Elijah, of Moses and of the Messiah
will be as in the days of Lot also, there we have again three important
ministries for Christianity and for the Jews also.
In the midst of Christianity the ministries will
appear first, and thereafter the Hebrew people will see it and will say:
"This is what we are waiting for," they will see it in the midst of
Christianity, and that will be the Third Pull of which the reverend
William Branham spoke when he spoke of a vision of a Great
Tent-Cathedral.
Therefore, all that must materialize, that was in the
mind of God, do you know for how long? It was in the mind of God
eternally, like the Lamb’s Book of Life was in the mind of God, it is an
abstract Book, which was not materialized, was not realized and it has
been materializing as the different stages or ages have been passing by
until our time where the part of the Lamb’s Book of Life which pertains
to our time is materialized, and the things which pertain to the Church
of the Lord Jesus Christ in our time.
All that, since it was in the mind of God, must
materialize, and there will be people that will be used by God, they
will put themselves in the hands of God for God to use them, and thus,
God will materialize, will realize that which He had in His mind which
has already been spoken, it is already creative Word of God, then
everything must move for the materialization of that spoken Word, of
those visions and of those prophesies relevant to our time.
The Golden stage of the Church is our stage, it
corresponds to the stage or Age of the Cornerstone, and it corresponds
to a new dispensational day, and corresponds to the morning of a new
dispensational day, and pertains to adoption, it is the Age of adoption
and for the adoption of all the elect, of all the children of God, of
all the born again members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
rest of the ages have already past and the adoption in those ages did
not take place, therefore automatically anyone already knows that it is
for the Age of Gold of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone of the
Church.
Now, it is simple because the rest of the ages are
already past, it is easy to understand it, it was Golden Age the Age in
which Jesus Christ lived, of the Hebrew Church under the Law, it was in
that stage that His resurrection took place and the resurrection of the
dead of the old covenant, Old Testament who were in Paradise or Bosom of
Abraham.
And it is in this stage of Golden Age that those who
departed and are in paradise will return in the resurrection in eternal
and glorified bodies, and we which are alive will be changed, because we
are hearing the great Voice of Trumpet, the Final Trumpet, the Trumpet
that is gathering us, that prepare us for that great event. And Israel
will also hear concerning that which pertains to Israel for its
redemption, the redemption of Israel and its restoration to the Kingdom
of God, to the Kingdom of David, to the Kingdom of the Messiah.
Israel is already near that resurrection and on the
third day He will revive us, that spiritual resurrection which is a
revival, a spiritual resurrection. a spiritual awakening; God is already
preparing everything to fulfill that creative Word that was spoken, it
is there in the Bible, therefore, He will do everything He has to do for
it to become a reality, for it to materialize, to crystallize.
Therefore, it is time to be every day closer to God,
aware of the time we are living in. May God open the understanding of
His children to understand all these things that must come to pass and
to prepare ourselves to receive all these blessings that are established
for the sons and daughters of God and that are spoken, and which are
hidden in the content of that Feast of the Trumpets, above all the
seventh Trumpet. And already from many years ago these trumpets have
been bringing Jews from the different tribes also to the Land of Israel,
to form a free and sovereign nation.
So, in the seventh Trumpet for Israel which is
sounded by Moses and Elijah, blown, there are blessings but also the
divine judgments that will come upon the kingdom of the Gentiles will be
spoken. In other words, it has the good part for the children of God
and for the Hebrew people and for all nations, the people who want the
blessings of God, and for nations and people that are not interested,
well, for them there is the bad part which are the divine judgments.
"THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS."
Some day we will speak more clearly about the Feast
of the Trumpets and other things, with that which we have spoken I
believe it is enough; one cannot open that mystery too much because
imitators will rise and then they will do much harm in the Divine
Program.
Therefore, we will leave it there, next Sunday we
will speak on the day of atonement of the tenth day of the seventh month
of each year. Here we touched a bit, but we will speak more clearly
next Sunday, and thereafter on the Feast of the Tabernacles or Booths
which the Bible speaks of, the literal content that was fulfilled,
thereafter the commemoration of that event that was fulfilled, and then
the prophetic part for the future, of that Feast of the Tabernacles.
If there is someone who has not received Christ, you
can do it right now and we will be praying for you so that Christ may
receive you in His Kingdom, may forgive you and may cleanse you with His
Blood from all sin, be baptized in water in His Name and Christ may
baptize you with Holy Ghost and Fire and produce in you the new birth,
and thus you may enter into the Kingdom of God; that’s the only way one
can enter in the Kingdom of God, that’s what Christ said in John,
chapter 3, verses 1 to 6 to Nicodemus, when He said: "Verily, verily I
say unto you except a man is born of the Water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
And everyone wants to enter in the Kingdom of God
because everyone wants to live eternally. Children ten years of age and
older can also receive Christ as Saviour, and the little ones or those
who have never been dedicated to the Lord, you may also present them to
the Lord so that Christ may receive them in His Kingdom, and when they
reach the age of twelve or thirteen years of age whereby they already
have the knowledge of good and evil then they can receive Christ as
Saviour, because from there and onwards they have to answer for their
own sins, faults, their mistakes, because they already have the
awareness, knowledge of good and evil.
People receive that knowledge, children of twelve to
thirteen years of age, normally at the age of thirteen they already have
conscience of good and evil, and therefore also free moral agency, to
believe or disbelieve.
We are going to stand on our feet to pray for the
persons here present that have come to the Feet of Christ, and those in
other nations can also continue coming to the Feet of Christ our Saviour
so that you may be included in the prayer we are doing. With our hands
raised to Christ, to Heaven:
Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ I come unto You bringing these children and these people that
have been coming to Your Feet, to the Feet of Christ receiving Him as
only and sufficient Saviour, I pray receive them in Your Kingdom and
bless them and may they be accepted before Your presence through the
Sacrifice of Christ. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray.
And now, repeat after me this prayer, those who are receiving Christ as Saviour right now:
Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the preaching of
Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my heart, I believe in You with
all my soul, I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice
of Atonement for our sins.
I know and I believe that there is no other
Name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, I recognize
that I am a sinner and I need a Saviour, I bear public witness of my
faith in You and I receive You as my only and sufficient Saviour.
I pray, forgive my sins and cleanse me with
Your Blood from all sin and baptize me with Holy Ghost and Fire after I
am baptized in water in Your Name and may the new birth be produced in
me. I pray in Your eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
and amen.
And with our hands raised to Christ, to heaven, we all say: The
Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! Amen.
Christ has received you in His Kingdom, has forgiven
your sins and with His Blood has cleansed you from all sin because you
have received Him as only and sufficient Saviour. You will say to me:
"When can I be baptized? Because I have believed in Christ as my
Saviour." having conscience of good and evil and having received Christ,
you can be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord.
Water baptism does not take sins away, it is
typological. but it is a commandment of Christ; Christ Himself was
baptized by John the Baptist to fulfill all righteousness, and how much
more we need to be baptized in water. He said:
"He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
In water baptism we identify with Christ in His
death, burial and resurrection. When the person receives Christ as
Saviour, he dies to the world. When the person is immersed in the
baptismal waters, typologically he is being buried. And when he is
raised from the baptismal waters, he is resurrecting unto a new life,
unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. As simple as that
is the symbolism, typology of water baptism in the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ in which we identify with Christ in His death, burial and
resurrection.
Therefore, you may well be baptized and may Christ
baptize you with Holy Ghost and Fire and produce in you the new birth,
and we will continue to see each other throughout eternity in the
glorious Kingdom of Christ our Saviour.
May you continue having a happy afternoon, filled
with the blessings of Christ our Saviour, and we will meet next Sunday,
God willing. I leave with you the minister concerned, the reverend
Benjamin Perez, and in every country I leave the minister concerned to
do it in the same way, to let you know what to do to be able to be
baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, everyone who has
received Christ as Saviour right now. May God continue blessing you
all. Amen.
