The House of the King, The House of God

 

THE HOUSE OF THE KING,

THE HOUSE OF GOD

Bogota, Colombia

 

very good morning, kind friends and brethren present and those who are in different nations in their Churches and different meeting places to praise God and to hear His Word, may the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me too.

A special greeting to my friend, Dr. Luis Moreno, bishop of Quito, of the Anglican Church there in Quito, and his wife here today. For this occasion let’s watch a short video about five minutes long, very important one, which is very significant for Christianity, which video is linked to the Jewish people, to the Jews, and Jesus told the Samaritan woman: "Salvation is of the Jews."

Let's watch this video that is related to the Jews, it is a short video of something that happened last Friday, where some of you were there also. We will ask Puerto Rico to play that short video through the satellite Amazonas.

Footprints to remember; that was the documentary we watched at this time, and it is linked to the Jewish people, people loved by God and by all of us too, the people whom God has said that he that bless them shall be blessed and whoever curses them shall be cursed.

But we ask ourselves: how can we do to bless the Hebrew people? Not only with words but with deeds, working for the people of God, God's chosen people as a nation.

At this time we will read a very important Scripture, and we will be examining how this Scripture has been fulfilled. Luke, chapter 14, verse 15 to 24, and the Word of God reads as follows:

"And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper."

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

"THE HOUSE OF THE KING, THE HOUSE OF GOD."

In Matthew also speaks of this same dinner in Chapter 22, and beginning says, verse 2:

"The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son."

Now we can see that the man who makes the wedding feast, who prepares that feast for his son, is a King, He is the King of Heaven and Earth: God. Therefore, the House of this man who prepares this feast, this supper, it is the House of God. The call from the House of God and to go to the House of God, comes from the Servant, the Holy Spirit through the different preachers.

Everyone has wanted to be in the House of God, the Psalmist would say: "I was glad when they said unto me: Let’s go into the house of the Lord." and the Psalmist would also say: "One thing have I desired of the Lord, and this will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life (what for?) To behold His beauty." That is in Psalm 27, verse 4, and Psalm 122, verse 1.

Everyone has wanted to be in the House of God to see God, to behold God. The prophet Isaiah around chapter 6 of Isaiah says he saw the glory of God, saw God in His Temple.

What must we do, because everyone, like the Psalmist, we want to be in the House of God, and he (David) said: "And this will I seek." and now, everyone wants to seek a way of how to be in the House of God. To have a clear picture, we find that Moses and Solomon also built a house for God, an earthly house, an earthly temple.

Moses built the tabernacle, he dedicated it to God, and God came in the Pillar of Fire, in that Pillar of Fire, He came in that cloud of light, He entered in that tabernacle and rested in the Holy of Holies on the Mercy Seat which is the golden cover of the Ark of the Covenant which has two golden cherubs, one on each side, because that tabernacle represents God's heavenly Temple and the holy of holiest of that tabernacle represents the heavenly Holy of Holiest and the mercy seat represents the Throne of God.

Likewise Israel as a people is a temple, and we find that just as God was in the tabernacle, He was also in Israel as a people. We have the words spoken by king David when Solomon is anointed as king the first time, and he is anointed a second time. Thi is found in Chronicles, First Chronicles, chapter 28, verse 4 to 5, and it says:

"Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel."

For him to sit where? On the Throne of the Kingdom of the Lord over Israel, and then chapter 29, verse 22 to 23 says:

"And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him."

On which throne did Solomon sit? On the Throne of God, the Throne of the Lord. Someone might ask: "But God's Throne isn’t It in Heaven? Yes, but God's earthly Throne, the Throne of God on Earth, is the Throne of David, and the Kingdom of God on Earth is the Kingdom of David, in plainer words, the representation of the heavenly Kingdom and heavenly Throne is the kingdom of David and the throne of David.

That’s why when Christ spoke to His disciples by telling them that when they pray, in their prayer they should ask for the coming of the Kingdom of God, for the coming of the Kingdom of God shall be the restoration of the Kingdom of David, where the Messiah the Prince shall sit in the Throne of David.

If here on Earth we have the representation of heavenly things, then, what is the Church? The House of God, the house which Jacob saw there in type and figure in chapter 28 when he was on his way to Aram, the evening caught him, about to get dark, and as it was getting dark he took stones from the place where he was and put one for a pillow, and sleeping had a dream, and a dream which has been interpreted becomes a vision.

He dreamed of a ladder that rested on the ground and the top of it reached to heaven, and he saw angels of God ascending and descending on the ladder, and at the top of the ladder he saw God who identified with Jacob, and God says to him, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, verse 13 onwards says:

"And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed (that is Word of God);

And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

That is the vision or dream that Jacob had, and when Jesus was preaching on Earth and Jesus says to Nathaniel, verse 48 to 51 of St. John:

"Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

This which Jesus is speaking comes from the dream Jacob had where he saw angels ascending and descending on that ladder, and Jacob said: "This is none other but the house of God and gate of heaven." God's House.

Now, under the New Covenant we find that there is a Door through which all people enter in, to ascend to Heaven. Christ said: "I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by me." so we have to find that ladder to ascend to the Father, we must find that place of which Jacob said: "This is none other but the house of God and gate of heaven."

The Apostle Paul, aware of this mystery, and also the Apostle Peter spoke of this House. Paul in Galatians, Chapter 3 and First Timothy, chapter 3; let’s see I Timothy, Chapter 3, writing to Timothy he says to him, verse 14 and onwards:

"These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."

And now, look the simple way in which the Apostle Paul shows us which is the House of God: it is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to enter in It there is a door. Christ said in John, chapter 10, verse 9: "I am the door, he who enters by me shall be saved, and will enter in and find pasture."

She is the only one which has Christ, the door through which one enters into the House of God, and consequently it is the House for the feast here on Earth, for the feast which the rich man, the King, has prepared for His Son. This was the blessing which Christ spoke of: "The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to another people or another persons which will bring forth the fruits thereof."

Under the New Covenant the Church of Jesus Christ is the House of God, under the old covenant, the earthly house of God was the tabernacle built by Moses and then the temple built by king Solomon, and as a nation, the House of God as a nation, was the Hebrew people, Israel, under the covenant that God gave them through the prophet Moses.

So there are no problems between the people of a covenant, and the ones of the other covenant. The great blessing is under the New Covenant, because it has the heavenly blessings, the blessings from Heaven. Let’s see some other places where the Apostle Paul in Hebrews, chapter 3, verse 5 to 6, says:

"And Moses verily was faithful in all his house ..."

This is under the covenant that God gave them through the prophet Moses, and the Jewish people is the House of God as a people, and had a tabernacle which is also called the House of God, built by Moses and then the one which king Solomon built and it was destroyed and then was rebuilt, destroyed and rebuilt, and now the Hebrew people has not had a physical temple on Earth for a few hundreds of years.

Since the seventieth year of the Christian era Israel has had no temple, and therefore no atonement for sin. And what does that mean? That under the old covenant there is no way to take away the sins of the human being, because under the atoning sacrifice of the kid-goat, on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, according to Leviticus, chapter 23, verse 26 to 29, on that day the people, humbled themselves before God, and afflicted for having sinned against God, would ask God for forgiveness and God forgave them, and the blood of the atonement that the high priest carried out with the sacrifice of the kid-goat for the Lord, he entered in the Holy of Holies and sprinkled the blood seven times on the Mercy Seat which is the throne of God in the temple, type and figure of God's heavenly Throne.

Christ died on the Earth, but He did not take His Blood into the Holy of Holiest of the earthly temple which was there in Jerusalem, which had been built by king Herod, but He presented Himself in the heavenly Temple in the Holy of Holies, and there He presented Himself, He presented Himself with His Blood as the Blood of Atonement for the sin of man.

For the sin of all those that when they hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ the faith in Christ is born in their soul and are pricked in the heart, grieving in their heart, in their soul, they ask God for forgiveness, give public testimony to their faith in Christ, and are baptized in water in His Name when they receive Him as Savior, and Christ baptizes them with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produces in them the new birth, these people have been reconciled with God as it was when the high priest sprinkled the blood of atonement on the Mercy Seat and then came out at the relevant time, because he used to enter a few times in the Holy of Holies.

And when he came out for the last time and did the relevant things there on the altar of incense, then we find that he pronounced the Name of God, blessed the people in the Name of God. There were people who when they heard the pronunciation of the Name of God, which passed from Moses to Joshua and also to the high priest Aaron, the pronunciation of the Name, well, some after hearing the pronunciation, afterwards they would use the Name of God for bad things, and then to avoid this, when the high priest came out proclaiming the Name of God, the musicians started making much noise with musical instruments and then the people could not understand the pronunciation of the Name. That's in Jewish books, like the book: "The Religion of Israel" and other books.

Now, we find that when they come out proclaiming to the people that all the things that God required had already been done, the people were happy, one: the high priest had not died when he entered the Holy of Holies, because if he did not do the things well, he would die.

Then the people had the right to live one more year, they were reconciled to God for another year, though their sins were not removed, but were covered with the blood of atonement, because animals have no souls, and therefore the spirit of the animal cannot come upon the believer under the Old Covenant.

But now, under the New Covenant, Christ, being the Atonement for our sins, being the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins, Who after being resurrected presented Himself before God, presented Himself with His own Blood ... And how could He appear there, if in the earthly temple no one could enter in and do work but the high priest, and once a year, and with blood, the blood of the atonement made by the high priest with the kid-goat? Because Jesus Christ is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple after the Order of Melchizedek, He is the Angel of the Covenant, and the Angel of the Covenant is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple, He is the same that appeared to Abraham in Genesis chapter 14 when Abraham was returning from the victory over those five kings who had carried away Lot and his family and many people from the territory of Sodom where Lot lived, but Melchizedek appeared to him, without father or mother.

And how can there be a person who has no father or mother, and be a High Priest, Priest of the Most High God? It is that Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, without father or mother, Christ in His angelic body, which is the Angel of the Covenant, has no earthly mother or father.

It was when He received His body by divine creation, physical body, that He appears, which was born through the Virgin Mary, the most blessed woman of all women who has walked this Earth, because she is the only woman who has brought, has given birth to a child without having intimate relations with a man, it was by the grace and work of the Holy Spirit, and thus she brought the second Adam, Jesus Christ, to redeem the human being, to restore the human being unto eternal Life from where the human being had fallen in the time of Adam and Eve.

Some people read the Scriptures and say: "God said to Adam that the day that he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that day he would die, and he sinned and then continued to live," he lived some 930 years, and some people say: "What God said was not fulfilled," they had eternal Life, they could continue living, what they were missing was being adopted, they were in a stage of trial.

And so it is with the believers in Christ: we are going through a trial stage here on Earth, but eventually the adoption will come which will be the glorification, the transformation for the believers in Christ who are alive, and the resurrection of the dead in Christ in immortal bodies, glorified bodies, like the glorified body of Jesus Christ.

That is why Paul says: "We will all be changed." and then we will have eternal Life physically like Jesus Christ, and young for all eternity, that is the adoption, the redemption of the body, of which Paul speaks in Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 to 29, and in First Corinthians, Chapter 15, verses 49 to 58, and in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 11 and onwards.

That is the adoption, the redemption of the body, the glorification, the resurrection in eternal, immortal and young bodies, and for them that are alive the transformation of their bodies, and then we will have physical eternal Life. The believer in Christ has already eternal Life in his soul, but we lack physical eternal Life, which He will give us in His second Coming.

There are people who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, but some times they do not know why they are waiting for Him. When you are waiting for someone in your home, you should know for what purpose you are awaiting for him: we are waiting for Him according to what He promised, to do according to what He has promised. He said: "I will come again and receive you unto myself so that where I am, there you may be also." Paul, aware of this mystery, says in Philippians, chapter 3, verse 20 to 21:

"For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ."

Do we indeed have the citizenship from Heaven, from the heavenly Jerusalem? Of course, yes; but you can say: "I am a citizen of the country where I was born," sure, indeed, you are a citizen of the country in which you were born, because that citizenship comes that way, it is by birth.

And from where is the citizenship of the new birth? The new birth is not earthly, it is from Heaven, therefore, the citizenship of those born again, is from Heaven, from the heavenly Jerusalem, which is why we sit where? In heavenly places in Christ Jesus our Lord:

"… from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Who shall change our vile body ..."

It says that He will change our vile body. As sons and daughters of God we have come to this earth and have been going through a period of humiliation; it is as when a son or a daughter, or sons and daughters of a king are sent to another country and are treated badly, and the governments of other countries treat them badly; they are going through a period of humiliation, and it has been like that with the believers in Christ throughout the different ages or stages of the Church, they have been going through humiliation, they have been persecuted, Jesus Christ Himself was persecuted and then the apostles, and then all the believers throughout these two thousand years that have passed by since Christ until now. They were thrown into the lions to be eaten, burned, they were killed them in different ways, they were persecuted.

It was a difficult time for believers in Christ, for the sons and daughters of God. For if they do these things in a green tree, "what shall be done in the dry," says Christ.

Now, this is a stage that was already prophesied. We had to go through this Earth to enter the plan of redemption, for which Christ came and died on Calvary's Cross, that’s why He said: Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if falls to the ground and dies, it bears much fruit," many sons and daughters of God.

And where are they born from, from where is the wheat born? where are the wheat corns born? In the wheat plant, and from where is the plant of wheat born? From the corn of wheat. Christ is the corn of wheat, and on the Day of Pentecost the wheat plant which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ was born, and the corns of wheat that She puts forth, that are born from the wheat plant, are the sons and daughters of God, members of the Church of Jesus Christ, by means of the Spirit of Christ in His Church, reproducing Himself, giving birth to and reproducing sons and daughters of God.

And that is the stage in the spiritual realm, and then comes the stage in the physical field which will be the resurrection in eternal bodies and the transformation of the believers who are alive. It is as simple as that, it is a Divine Program in God’s mind before the foundation of the world. God is not thinking of doing anything at this time, He already thought about it and it is found in the Scripture.

And now, how is Christ going to do it? It says:

"…that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."

He has the power to do so. So now we know with certainty for what purpose is the Lord’s second Coming, and for what and why we are waiting for Him: for our transformation, and if someone dies physically, well, he will be resurrected in eternal body, and he’ll be in glory, in glorified body.

We have all these divine promises which are exclusively for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the believers in Christ, because someone who does not believe in Christ and does not believe what He said, he is not waiting for these things, so, who has isolated himself is the person.

The Redemption Program is available to all humans. The Redemption Program is at the sight of everyone.

The House of God is the Church of Jesus Christ, that is the House in which God through Christ says that He called the guests and they did not come, and sent His Servant, who is the Holy Spirit, which is the One that when God is to do something, He is always present, the Holy Spirit, Christ in His angelic body, because God does not do anything unless it is through Christ the Angel of the Covenant.

Science has been searching for the origin of creation. The origin of creation is Jesus Christ. But it has already discovered something: that before creation there was an energy there, before the creation. And what or who can we say is that energy? Christ.

"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

This was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made. " John, chapter 1, verse 1 onwards:

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John, chapter 1, verse 14.

Jesus Christ is the most important person who ever walked this planet Earth, Paul says that He is the image of the living God, and is also the likeness of the living God. Remember that God said: "Let us make man after our image, after our likeness."

The image is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant in His angelic body and the physical likeness is the physical body of Jesus Christ which is already glorified. It was Immanuel, God with us, in Jesus Christ dwelt God in all His fullness, the only person in whom God has dwelt in all His fullness.

Which is why we find in Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Father and the Holy Spirit. Christ would say: "The Father who dwells in me He does the works," and He also said: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me," and began listing the things for which He had been anointed, Luke, chapter 4. He also said that He did what He saw the Father doing, and spoke what He heard the Father speak.

In other words, the message of Jesus was not of His, but of God the Father. The human being has been made in the image and likeness of God, human beings have been made spirit and body, but man is not the body nor the spirit, man is the soul, living being, but has a spiritual house called spirit and a physical house which is called physical body.

If your physical body, your earthly house dies, of which Paul said: "If our earthly house is dissolved, we have a temple, a tabernacle not made by hands," because the spiritual body was not made by a man, it is God who has made it.

Now, anyone can also say: "I do nothing of myself," that is, speaking of the physical body, and how can the other people understand it? Because they see you doing it, taking one thing and putting it some other place, or talking about something, but it is not the body which is doing it, it is his soul, through the spirit in that body using that body of flesh.

That is why when the soul and the spirit of the person come out from the body, you can tell that body, ask it something, and the body does not answer, because the body without the spirit is dead, says the Scripture.

So therefore, the human being, being created in the image and likeness of God, has a soul, equivalent to Father, it has spirit, which is the spiritual body which is equivalent to the Spirit of God, equivalent to the Angel of the Covenant, and has a physical body which is equivalent to Jesus Christ, to the physical body of Jesus Christ. As simple as that.

Remember that Jesus said: "He who has seen me has seen the Father," now we can understand it, it is simple, they said to Him: "You being a man make yourself God," but He showed that the Father was in Him, and showed that the Spirit was in Him, there we have the divine Trinity of which the religion, Christianity, speaks of: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all that we see in Jesus Christ, for it pleased God that all the fullness of the Godhead may dwell in Him, Colossians, chapter 2, there you find it, and in Colossians chapter 1 as well.

There's the mystery of God the Father and of Christ, it is a mystery, but remember that you and I are a mystery too, and some human beings still have not understood themselves, have not understood that they are a mystery, that they are soul, spirit and body, and some think: "No, I will make the most of this life here on Earth because after I die, everything is finished."

What dies is the physical body, the person continues living in his spiritual body in another dimension, and every person who believes there is life after death, that there is another world, another dimension, to which they go to, therefore he has to be sure that when his physical body dies, he may be taken to a good place: to Paradise, for which he needs Christ as his only and sufficient Savior, in order for him to be taken to Paradise where all believers in Christ who have died physically are.

And if not, what happens? Well, he will keep accompany the rich man, or Judas Iscariot, he will be able to meet him over there. In the book of Acts it says that he went to his place, he did not go to Paradise, he went to the place in the parable where Christ spoke of Lazarus and the rich man, to the place where the rich man went to.

But everyone wants to go to Heaven, to Paradise, and that desire is because there is a place, there is a Paradise, to which the human being can go to, and there is a Divine Program where man can take refuge in that Divine Program, that Program of Redemption, in order for the person to go to Heaven, to Paradise, which is another dimension, as well as hell is in another dimension, it is another dimension, just as we are living in this earthly dimension.

But there are other dimensions, there are seven dimensions, and many people still have not understood well this dimension in which we live and for what purpose we are here. The fifth dimension is the place... hell, called hell; and there is the sixth dimension, which is Paradise, where the believers in Christ go to rest, to rest, we wonder, "but to rest, they go there to sleep?" no, rest and sleep are two different things, there are people who sleep and when they awake, they say: "I'm more tired than when I laid down," and we all have gone through moments like that. We rest from earthly works, we rested from the morning traffic, the traffic to go to work, which is difficult, and when it rains it gets worse, and traffic coming back home, to get home, bathing, eating, being with the family a few hours, sleep, and the next day the same cycle.

Thank God that they assigned Saturday and Sunday to rest from work, but not everybody, as far as spiritual things are concerned it doesn’t not count as work, rather it is a blessing, a privilege to get to the House of God, the Church the Lord Jesus Christ, to worship, to contemplate the beauty of God through Christ, because the beauty of God is seen through Christ the Angel of the Covenant, and to hear His Voice, His Word, where? In His Temple, His House, His Church. It is there that the people are invited to this great Supper.

And how do we get this invitation? Do we have to put our mailing address and our phone to notify us and send us the invitation? No, it's simple: Christ sent the invitation through the apostles and all the preachers and all believers in Christ, when He said:

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned."

That's the invitation, that’s why the Gospel of Christ is preached and the faith in Christ is born in the soul of the person, in the heart, because faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and with the heart, the soul, one believes: not intellectually, but with the heart, with the soul, but confession is made with the mouth unto salvation.

That’s why the opportunity is given to people to receive Christ as only and sufficient Savior to enter the House of God, Christ says to Nicodemus: "Verily, verily, I say to you, except a man is born of Water and the Spirit he can not enter the Kingdom of God."

To be born of the water is to be born of the Gospel of Christ, and to be born of the Spirit is to be born of the Holy Spirit, it is to receive the Holy Spirit, that’s how one obtains the baptism of the Holy Spirit and obtains the new birth, that is how one is born again, as there is no other way .

Therefore, everyone has the same opportunity, and the call to come to the Father's House for the feast He makes for His Son, that House is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Covenant and under the new Covenant. That is why the Gospel of Christ has been preached for nearly two thousand years, and millions of human beings at different stages of the Church have been receiving Christ as Savior, and it has been the Work of the Servant, the Holy Spirit, using people, preachers, people who carry the Gospel, using brothers and sisters who give the Gospel message to their friends as well, doing this work, because every believer in Christ has a responsibility to bring the Gospel of salvation to others, not only for preachers, it is for all believers in Christ.

In our time there is still room, this is the time pertaining to that moment where the Servant, the Holy Spirit, answers the Father of the family that He has already done what which was ordered, and says: "And yet there is still room." There is room in our time because Christ is still on the Throne of the Father, in the Throne of Intercession, on the Mercy Seat, making intercession with His own Blood for everyone who hears the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and receives Him as only and sufficient Savior. There is still room for salvation and eternal Life for the human beings.

If we trace the Church and its different stages, this is the most glorious stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. If I was asked to choose in which time I wanted to live on Earth to be in the Church of the Lord, I would choose this time, this is the best time, this is the time that all the believers in Christ of past times wanted to live and see, this is a time parallel to the time of Jesus, parallel to the time of Noah, and also parallel to the time of Lot and Abraham.

This is the time when the promises of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels will be fulfilled, this is the time, and do not know how long it will last, we do not know when it will end, in other words, we do not know how many years will this time last, but this is the time of the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is the time for the fulfillment of the most glorious promises given by Christ and given also by the prophets of the Old Testament, which promises will materialized in this end time, but do not know what year. We know that we are in the Last Day.

The last days began in the days of Jesus Christ, for the last days before God are the last millennia which are: fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium, and we have already entered into the seventh millennium; according to the Gregorian calendar you already know that we have begun to live the seventh millennium. Being that one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, the Last Day, the last days, are fifth, sixth and seventh millennium, and the Last Day is the seventh millennium.

Before we would say, and Christianity would say: "We are living in the last days," Paul says it in Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, and the Apostle Peter speaks of the last days, but today we can say: "We are living in the Last Day before God."

For Israel there is a promise also in Hosea, chapter 6, verse 1 onwards, where it says that on the third day, after two days, on the third day He will raise them up, a spiritual resurrection for Israel; it has had a physical resurrection as a nation , but it needs to have or it will have a physical resurrection also as a nation in the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Christ, the Anointed One ruling under the Kingdom of David on the Throne of David.

There will be a spiritual resurrection for Israel too, which will be a spiritual revival which is at hand. Chapter 7 and Chapter 14 of Revelation speaks of one hundred and forty four thousand, twelve thousand from each tribe of the children of Israel, that will be sealed by the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God.

And which is the Seal of God? The Holy Spirit, He comes with the Holy Spirit, and one hundred and forty four thousand Jews will be sealed by and with the Holy Spirit, twelve thousand from each tribe, that is a prophecy of blessing for Israel, the lost tribes will appear, because if there are twelve thousand from each tribe, then the lost tribes are included there also. So... all this will be done, because the restoration of the Kingdom of David and the Throne of David will be carried out, Ezekiel, Chapter 37.

Now, before that comes there is something very important for us, and it is that we have a great opportunity to obtain salvation and eternal Life through Christ our Saviour, because there is a Sacrifice of Atonement for sin made by Christ Himself with His own body, for the person to be reconciled with God and to receive eternal Life. "My sheep hear my Voice and they follow me, and I know them and I give them eternal Life."

There is no other person who can give eternal Life to the human being, therefore, every person needs Jesus Christ, and I have already received Him as my Savior and He gave me eternal Life, He has given me eternal Life in my soul and in my spirit, and He will give me physical eternal Life when He will change me if I remain alive until that moment of transformation, or he will resurrect me, if my physical body dies, I will rise when He will rise all those who have died and are in Paradise in spirit, they are in a spiritual body.

Therefore, no matter if the person dies or continues living, what matters is that the person has received Christ as his only and sufficient Savior, and thus has confirmed his life in eternal Life, to be at rest, be at peace with God in the House of God.

Now, we've been seeing how we enter into the House of God: it is by means of Christ that we will enter, enter through the door which is Christ the House of God and Gate of Heaven, it is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ that was also mentioned as the Lamb’s Bride, a Bride or a virgin Wife, because She has been cleansed by the Blood of Christ, without spot or wrinkle. The Blood of Christ doesn’t cover sin, it takes away sin, and God no longer remembers the sins of the person, they are thrown into the sea of forgetfulness.

If a person has received Christ as Savior, he has eternal Life, if anyone has not received Him, he has not eternal Life, First John, chapter 5, verse 10 to 13: "God has given us eternal Life, and this life is in His Son, whosoever has the Son has life: he that hath not the Son hath not life." And then in verse 12 and 13 says, gives us the good news which is: that God has given us eternal Life.

Therefore, those who have not yet received Christ as Savior, and when hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Christ the faith in Christ was born in your soul, you may give public testimony of your faith in Christ, by receiving Him as your only and sufficient Savior, for which I invite you to come forward to pray for you for Christ to receive you in His Kingdom and may give you eternal Life. Let's wait a few minutes while people come to receive Christ as only and sufficient Savior.

God has many people in this beautiful city of Bogota, and he is calling them in this end time, and in all places that are hearing me in different nations, for which you may also come to the Feet of Christ those who are in other nations and the faith of Christ was born in their soul.

God has much people throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, and is calling them in this end time. You are hearing the Gospel of Christ because your name is written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life. He said that He knows the names, therefore, He says: "I call my sheep by name." this is a call within the soul of the person which call comes by means of the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, which is the Word of Christ, speaking to people. "I have other sheep which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my Voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."

The Voice is the Gospel of Christ, the Good Shepherd is Christ and the Fold is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the sheep who are they? Are all of you and me too. We are still waiting while people arrive in whom the faith of Christ was born this morning, and have received the call of Christ direct in their soul.

You can continue coming to the Feet of Christ those who are in other nations, and children ten years and older can also continue coming to the Feet of Christ for Christ to receive them in His Kingdom.

It is a glorious time we are living in this end time. Hebrews, chapter 3, verse 7, and Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 7 says: "If you hear today His Voice, harden not your hearts," He has spoken to you directly to your soul, your heart, which is what you are in reality: a living soul.

The Gospel of Christ is a direct message to the human being, for the soul, which is really what the human being is: living soul. "There is still room," said the Servant to the Master of the House, said the Holy Spirit to God the Father: "There is still room," and the Master of the House said to go over the edges, all places, and told Him to compel them to enter into His House to be filled, He says, "For My house to be filled." Blessed are those who are invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, are invited by the Gospel of Christ.

We will stand on our feet to pray for people who have come to the Feet of Christ our Savior. If someone has not come yet, you may come forward so that you are included in the prayer that we will be doing for all those who are receiving Christ as only and sufficient Savior.

With our hands lifted up to Christ, to Heaven, and our eyes closed, those who have come to the Feet of Christ right now, repeat after me this prayer that we will be doing within a few moments. First listen and then together we will make the prayer.

Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You with all these people, these souls who have come to the Feet of Jesus Christ receiving Him as their only and sufficient Savior. I pray You receive them in Your Kingdom. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray, to whom be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen.

And now all together, those who have come to the Feet of Christ:

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 first coming and Your death on the Cross of Calvary as the Sacrifice of Atonement for my sins and for the sins of every human being, and I believe in Your Name as the only Name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I need a Savior. I give public testimony of my faith in You and receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I beg You to forgive my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood from all sin, and baptize me with the Holy Spirit and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name, and produce in me the new birth. I beg you, O Lord Jesus Christ, in Your eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

With our hands raised to Heaven, to Christ, 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, for you have received Him as your only and sufficient Savior. You will say to me: "I want to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord, because He said: 'He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.' When can I be baptized?"

Inasmuch as you have believed in Christ with all your heart, you can be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produce in you the new birth. Water baptism does not take away sins, it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin. But water baptism is a commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ, He said: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved."

Christ Himself went to Jordan where John was preaching and baptizing, and entered the waters of the Jordan to be baptized by John, and John says to Him: "I have need to be baptized by you, and you come to me so that I baptize you?" and Jesus says to him: "It is becoming us to fulfill all righteousness," and then he baptized Him.

If Jesus to fulfill all righteousness needed to be baptized, how much more do we need it in order for us to identify with Christ, in His death, burial and resurrection, because water baptism is typological, it is in the likeness of death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

Aware of the symbolism of water baptism, you can be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produce in you the new birth, and we will continue to see each other for all eternity in the glorious Kingdom of Christ our Savior.

I leave to the minister concerned, Alejandro Sarria with you, and in every nation I leave you with the minister concerned to do in the same way, to let you know how to be baptized in water in the Name of the lord Jesus Christ.

Continue having a happy day, full of the blessings of Christ our Savior.

"THE HOUSE OF THE KING, THE HOUSE OF GOD."
