DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD Rev. William Soto Santiago Saturday, September 3, 2011 Villa Hermosa, Tabasco, Mexico G ood morning beloved friends an brethren present and those that are through the satellite Amazonas or through the internet in different nations; for me it is a great privilege and blessing to be with you all on this occasion to share with you moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program concerning this end time. You have being seeing the documental Let us lift up our voice: Peace for the Holy Land. It is very important for peace to exist in the Holy Land, for peace will come out from the Holy Land for all the Middle East and for all the nations. And the Scripture says that Jerusalem is the City of the King, the City of God. Therefore, it is important for peace to exist in the Holy Land, for which it is important for a Palestine State not to be established, nor created in a unilateral but rather in accordance with the State of Israel so that there is a guarantee that the treaties that are made are to be fulfilled. So therefore you are all invited to be in Ciudad Mexico, Saturday the tenth, in the ministers meeting, and on Sunday the eleventh in the cult as usual, and then Monday the twelfth, there will be a concentration in front of the Embassy of Israel in the D.F. in Ciudad Mexico; and that s how it will be in all the nations, a concentration against the establishment of a Palestine State in an unilateral form, but rather in mutual agreement with the State of Israel. This is important to be done, so that there is no unilateral imposition but rather in mutual agreement with the
4 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. State of Israel. It would be of danger if the ONU imposes a Palestine State in an unilateral form without a mutual agreement, without a mutual agreement with the State of Israel. Remember it is there, that area of the Middle East, is a very dangerous place, not only for those that live there, but also for all mankind; because there a third world may be unloosed; in that area are represented all the peoples, all the nations; for in that area are represented the countries of the right, and the countries of the left also. Therefore, it is a very important place for all mankind; from there was brought the blessing of the Gospel of Christ to the gentiles, all those blessings of Abraham to his seed by means of Christ. And there is also the danger that they might bring there, or that it might come out from there everything related to a third world war, that in that area might be the center from where a third world war may unloose, if things are not done in mutual agreement with the State of Israel. Therefore: Let us lift our Voice: Peace for the Holy Land. For that purpose we are working in this concentration in all the countries this Monday twelfth of September in the Mexican Republic which will be carried out in D. F; and in each country it will be carried out in it s capital, which is the place where the Embassy is located in each nation. So therefore, you may come to an agreement with the Ambassadors, with the Ambassador of each country so that when the manifestation ends and whatever is spoken, then the letter corresponding to that manifestation be given to the Ambassador. So therefore, everyone in each country coordinate with Puerto Rico, so everything is done right, so to be successful; by contributing for the peace of the Holy Land. You can enter through the page of internet, which is www.pazentierrasanta.com and also on page www.comfacebook.com/pazentierrasanta, press the key which says: I like. So therefore, those that have computers, there you have the address, not to entertain yourself, but rather to do something DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 21 speaking to His Church in the different stages, that is the Voice that I am hearing, and who else? Each one of you also. Therefore, we are not interested in hearing any other voice that contradicts that which God has promised. We remain steadfast hearing the Voice of Christ by means of the Holy Spirit in our time in the Age ordained for us to live, just as the believers of each age of the past remained firm hearing the Voice of Christ through the messenger that God sent them; and that was to be hearing the Voice of God, the Voice of Christ, in each age of the past. Thus it is also in our time. Therefore, onward hearing the Voice of Christ, of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Holy Spirit, being aware that we have been delivered to serve, to serve God in all the things and in all the work that has to be done for God. And may God bless you and use you greatly in His Work in this end time. I leave with you the Attorney Benjamin Cruz Alfaro who will play for you again the video we saw a while ago, and then he will explain to you again the things he spoke to you, and he will announce again the pages of internet to which you may contact, in order to see the labors that are being carried out in order to be aware each day of the labors that are being done in favor of the human family, and in favor of peace for the Middle East. I leave with you the Attorney Benjamin Cruz Alfaro, who will continue with you. In the other things, we will be tomorrow here with you all, not here, in the other auditorium; and pray much for me for the activity of tomorrow. And those in other nations, be aware also of the itinerary that will be given by the lawyer Benjamin Cruz Alfaro so in the other nations they do the same in relation to the concentration that will be carried out in the embassy of Israel in each country. Well, may God bless you and keep you and may you continue having a happy afternoon filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. DELIVERED TO SERVE.
20 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. which were not made known in past ages. There is where the people are going to obtain the faith to be transformed and taken by Christ to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, there is where the third pull will be fulfilled, and the Angel that accompanied the Rev. William Branham will be there, the Pillar of Fire will be there, the Pillar of Fire that accompanied the prophet Moses and the Hebrew people, in there will be the presence of God in the midst of His Church in this dispensational interlace of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Dispensation of Grace, in this interlace of Christianity with Judaism, in other words, the gentiles with the jews; the Spirit of God will pass from the gentiles to the jews so to bless the jews. So therefore, knowing that we have been delivered to serve, to serve God and all His divines purposes, by working in them we are working in all the divine projects, the evangelization, teaching children, children schooling, classes and conferences for the young people and for adults, messages that affirm and confirm the faith of Christ in the heart of the believers, which also awakens the soul and the spirit of the persons, and the Church of the Lord grows, and more buildings are built for the activities of the believers in Christ; and since God has many people in the Mexican Republic, the group of the believers in Christ continues to grow in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Mexican Republic. DELIVERED TO BELIEVE AND TO SERVE GOD. If you hear something contrary to that which corresponds for our time, a believer in Christ will not give it ear; because that will not help me a bit for the faith of transformation, therefore I am not interested in hearing any other thing; I only want to hear the Word of the Lord, the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, the Voice of the Angel of God, the Voice of the One that appeared to the prophet Moses, the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant which became flesh and was called: Jesus Christ; that is the Voice we have to hear; whoever has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, Christ in Holy Spirit DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 5 worthwhile, something that is of benefit for all mankind; because this equipments some people have them as an entertainment, but when they are used correctly, they are of benefit for all of mankind; so therefore use those scientific advancements for a good cause, which equipments have come because of the spiritual advancement in the Program of God. And you have here these two pages so that you may enter in them during the week, you can enter them every day of the week because in them will be published all the things concerning this project, and of any other project that is being carried out. So that is not only our page, but it is also your page, that is the page where you find all the information related to all these labors. When one enters into the pages of other persons, their rating increases, one is increasing those pages ratings; but your page are the most important one, because it has the information that is needed so to work in benefit for all mankind. Well, Let us lift our voice: Peace for the Holy Land. and then click: I like, because we all like to have peace, and we all want peace for the Holy Lnd. Tomorrow we will see again this video, and I do not know if for those... for those that arrived late they may play it again at the end after I finish; and then the attorney Benjamin Cruz Alfaro may announce again the pages to where you may enter, so that you write the information, because if you do not know it, you do not have the key to enter. Well let us read a Scripture which is found in Exodus, chapter, 9, verse 1, and on, and it says in the following manner, 1 to 7: Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the
6 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children s of Israel. And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land. And the Lord did that thing in the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died; bu of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. May God bless our soul with His Word and permit us to understand It. Delivered to serve. We took this topic from verse 2, or verse 1, where it says at the end: Let my people go, that they may serve me. Being that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is represented in the Hebrew people, because the Hebrew people was delivered and was placed under the covenant that God gave them by means of the prophet Moses in Mt. Sinai; from Sinai came the covenant given to the Hebrew people by God; the law, the divine commandments came from Mt. Sinai, laws and ordinances were given by God to the Hebrew people by means of the prophet Moses; and then in their journey He continued giving more ordinances and laws for the people, which were necessary as time passed by. And now, the Hebrew people was delivered from bondage in Egypt as God had sais to Abraham in chapter 15, verses 12, to 19, of Genesis, where it says, speaking of Abraham s seed, wherein God is already telling him which would be that seed s journey, even before Abraham having the promised son, from whom that descendant would come (the promised son was Isaac). DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 19 consecutive manner, plus the things that were not done in past ages, which were prophesied, He will also fulfilled. The Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been called, was called out of the kingdom of the gentiles or kingdom of darkness, or kingdom of the wicked one, to be placed in the Kingdom of God with eternal Life so that She could serve God, so that we may serve him with all of our soul, with all of our heart; and some day in the Age of the Cornerstone the time will come when the promise of a Great Tent-Cathedral will be fulfilled. It was not fulfilled in the seventh age, it was not fulfilled in the time of the ministry of the Rev. William Branham the messenger of the seventh age of the Church and also the prophet messenger with the ministry of Elijah for the fourth occasion. But for the Last Day the Holy Spirit will come operating the ministry of Elijah for the fifth occasion; and his mission will be to call the elect to come up higher to the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone which is the age of and for the adoption of all the sons of God, the adoption of the body, in other words, the redemption of the body which will be our transformation in order for us to be equal physically to Jesus Christ in glorified bodies. That is what God has for me, and for who else? Well, for each of you too; because that is what the Scripture promises. It is not human imagination, it is the divine thought expressed, revealed through the prophets, and through the apostles so that we may know the things God has promised to give us in the Last Day. DELIVERED TO SERVE. Therefore we will be serving in this time in all the things which must be done in the work of the Lord. We will be supporting every divine project based in the Scriptures for the Last Day; and the biggest project of them all, physical project, will be the Great Tent-Cathedral, the construction of the Great Tent-Cathedral; and we will be hand in hand working in that divine project; and we wish for it to become a reality very soon. In that place are going to be preached many important things
18 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. died in glorified bodies. He has the power to do it, well He said. All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth. Because the one that is sitting on the Throne is who has the power. So therefore, He knows what to do, it is in the Scripture, and He has the power to do it. And what else does He need? The people with which He is going to do it. And where are they? Well, it is us, for we believe it with all of our soul. When the Bride recognizes Her place, Her position, then the rapture will come, in what position would the Church Bride be found or in what position is She found in this end time? Not in the first age, that age ended and the rapture did not take place; nor the second, that age ended and the rapture did not happened; neither in the third, that age already ended and the transformation nor the rapture took place, neither the resurrection of the dead in Christ, therefore, it was not for that age; the fourth age already ended and it did not happen; the fifth ended and it did not happen; the sixth ended and it did not happen; and the seventh ended and it did not happen; so then, it is for an eternal age, the Age of the Cornerstone, the golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; for that reason the call is: To ascend higher, to the Age of the Cornerstone; just as in every age when the Holy Spirit brought by means of the messenger of each age the message, he was calling from a higher place, and the people would come and would ascend to that new age to which God would send that messenger, who would also ascend with the people to that new stage or new age, but he ascended there first, because the message he had, was to ascend. Now, we have ascended to a place higher than the seventh age of the Church, which age was represented in Laodicea, for what purpose have we ascended? To serve Christ. And what things is Christ to do in that age? Well, all the things that He promised to do and did not do them in the past seven ages. In the past ages He represented and typified the things that are to be done in this time; therefore, the things that were done in each age are testifying of the things that God is to do in a single age in a DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 7 Now, notice how God says to Abraham in chapter 15, verse 12, to 19 of Genesis: And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. Now notice, a people which was going to be in bondage, oppressed by another people (the other people was Egypt) and after being in bondage for four hundred years they would come out with great substance, how would it be possible for a people who were slaves to come out rich? God knew what to do for them to come out rich. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Now notice, already God is showing to Abraham what his descendant s journey would be; and consequently things would move in such a way that they would seem normal, human, but God would be backing up everything so that everything would be carried out according to how God had already determined. And now, years go by after the promised son was born, then that son multiplies himself, then that son has two sons which were struggling within Rebekah to be conceived first in order to obtain the birthright; in those babies that were in Revekah s womb, were represented two nations. But God tells her: Two nations. God is already seen two nations, while a doctor would only see two babies; but within Rebekah two nations were fighting each other. Now see the history in chapter 25, verse 21, and on...verse 20 and onwards says chapter 25, of Genesis, from 19, says: And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham s son:
8 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. Abraham begat Isaac: and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. There we have the history of Jacob and Esau within their mother s womb until the moment of their birth. In the blessings of the birthright are linked the great blessings of God. For instance, in the blessing of the birthright there is a double inheritance, the firstborn always receives double to that which his brothers receive. We find also that in the Blessing of the Birth-right was the blessing of the Messiah, and the Messiah had to be a descendant of the one that had the Blessing of the Birth-right, He had to come by means of the one that had the Blessing of the Birthright. Therefore, Jacob was struggling for the best thing that there was for his descendant; and in that Birth-right was also the blessing of the One that would inherit the land that God DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 17 still has here a body of flesh which are the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom He is manifested on this planet Earth from age to age; and consequently all the things that God is to do on the Earth, He does them by means of His Church. His Church is in a very beautiful stage which has lasted two thousand years, around two thousand years from the day of Pentecost to the present time; and someday He will carry out a great work with those persons, and it is that those that have died physically, believers in Christ, which are at Paradise, He will resurrect them in glorified bodies, and we that remain, well, He will transform us. Then when we all have the glorified body we will already be immortals physically, that is the second portion; the first portion is at receiving the Holy Spirit, and consequently receiving the new birth by obtaining the Spirit of God; a spirit is a heavenly body of another dimension. And then the second portion is to receive a physical glorified body, inter-dimensional, as the body of Jesus Christ; we are waiting for that body, that is the purpose of the Coming of Christ for the Last Day, that is the main purpose; our transformation, so that we all be fully in His image and likeness; first we receive the first portion, the image, heavenly body; and then we receive the second portion which is the physical glorified body; of that is what St. Paul speaks to us of in Phillipians chapter, 3, verses 20, to 21, when he says: For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, (see? He is going to change us physically), 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. In other words, He has the power to perform it, with the power He created the Heavens and the Earth and with which He subdues all things unto Himself, He will transform the ones who are alive believers in Christ and He will resurrect the ones who
16 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. but the Kingdom exists in the spiritual sphere, and that Kingdom of Christ is within our heart, Christ reigning as King in the heart, in the soul of each believer, reigning in and over the person. He is our spiritual King, and He is King over all the creation, He is sitting on the Throne of the Father, and consequently the one who sits on a Throne is a King, and He has all the power, and God is within Him. And now Christ has delivered us from the kingdom and from the power of the wicked one, from the kingdom of the darkness, and has placed us in His Kingdom so that we may serve Him; that is why we serve Him with all of our soul, and with courage and with all of our heart willingly in all the things that must be done in the Work of the Lord, in the Church of the Lord in all the projects concerning the Church for the blessing of His people of His Church. Let us work all the time. For that reason buildings are made to worship God, for the people to gather together to pray to God, and to hear His Word and to serve Him with praises (that is the spiritual part), and to work in the evangelization so that all the persons that are written in the Lamb s Book of Life may hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, so that the faith of Christ may be born in their soul and may receive Him as their Savior. Remember that just as God worked by means of Christ and has not done anything unless it is through Christ, which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Word that was with God and was God who created all things. Now Christ does not do anything and has not done anything unless it is through His Church, it is by means of His Church by means of each believer in Christ that Christ carries out all the things that He has to carry out in this planet Earth. Therefore, just as God was in Christ, Christ is in His Church, and He does not do anything outside of His Church. The hands of Christ are our hands, all the physical things of Christ were glorified, He does no longer has a physical mortal body, as the body He had on the Earth, that body is already glorified, but He DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 9 promised to Abraham, which is called the promised land and also to whom, with which people, and to which people would the Messiah come, and to them would be given the Kingdom of God, with which people He would establish it; and consequently the King of that earthly kingdom of God would be a descendant of the one that would receive the Blessing of the Birth-right. So therefore, notice for everything Jacob was struggling for. Esau did not understand none of that, as there are people that do not understand anything about the biblical writings, they do not understand anything about the Bible, they do not understand anything about the Sacrifice of Christ, about the first Coming of Christ and His Sacrifice and where He is found in this moment; and do not understand anything about what a believer in Christ is and the blessings he has for the present and for all eternity. Now notice, if Esau would keep the Blessing of the Birthright, for being born first, the Holy Land, all the territory of Israel, would be inherited by the descendant of Esau; and the kingdom of David would not be the kingdom of David, it would be the kingdom of a descendant of Esau. And then the exodus would not be the exodus of Israel, but rather it would be the exodus of Esau; and Moses would not be the prophet that delivered the people from Egypt, but rather it would be a prophet descendant of Esau. And then the entrance to the promised land would not be of Israel with Joshua, but with a descendant of Esau with another messenger which would inherit the ministry of the one that brought them out of Egypt, and the thing is that God would be with them, and then the judges would be descendants of Esau. Then the kingdom of Saul would not belong to Saul, but of a descendant of Esau, and then the kingdom of David, would not be of David the descendant of Jacob, but rather that kingdom would be of a descendant of Esau; and it would not be called the kingdom of David but rather the kingdom of the descendant of Esau that would inherit it; and the throne of David would not be called throne of David but rather it would be called the throne
10 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. of a descendant of Esau; and then when the Messiah would arrived would be a descendant of Esau, not a descendant of Israel. Notice all the blessings that were within the Blessing of the Birth-right that Jacob struggled for; and thanks to that the Hebrew people are at the present time in the promised land, because the Hebrew people are the legitimate heir to that land, because the Earth belongs to God and He gives it as an inheritance to whoever He wants, and He has given it to the descendant of Jacob as an inheritance, descendants of Abraham. Now notice all the blessings that were hidden within the Blessing of the Birth-right. The Savior of the world would then what? A descendant of Esau. And would he be truly the Messiah? Of course, indeed. Why? Because the Angel of the Covenant would create in a virgin a body (life) which would multiply cell upon cell and would form a body in which would dwell... that body would be born and in it would dwell the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of God, the heavenly body of God in which God dwelt, dwells, and will always dwell; which is the image of the living God, the Angel of God, the Angel of the Covenant, of Whom those that saw Him in different occasions from Adam up to the apostle John, the beloved disciple, they said: We have seen God face to face. Why? Because they were seeing God in His heavenly body; and then when the Angel of the Covenant became flesh in the body named Jesus, whoever saw Christ, Jesus Christ, they were seeing God the Father, why? Because they were seeing God in His body of flesh. That s how simple it is. It is as if any person sees your body at a certain place, he says: I saw so and so in such a place. Because he is seen the physical likeness that you have, which I also have, in this earthly dimension, because we are dwelling in these mortal bodies. And we are living souls, or a living soul, and we are living on this Earth in a spiritual body, similar to the physical body, but mortal; for that reason when the person dies, what died was his DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 15 first day in which Christ met them after dying, and being buried and resurrecting, that was their first meeting; early in the morning, He met with some women that went to the tomb, and after a while He told them to go and to tell the apostles to go to a certain territory, where He would meet them. And now we find that the Church has also meetings during the week, but the main day for Christianity is Sunday, and the people are gathered to worship God and to hear His Word, the message of Christ, the message of the Gospel; for the edifying of the Church in order to grow spiritually, and to work in the work of Christ, the work concerning the new Covenant. The Church is the one that is within the new Covenant, and has been working in all the business of Christ under the new Covenant, She has been serving God through Christ, because God has delivered the believers in Christ for what purpose? so that they serve Him. He has delivered them in the same way He delivered the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt, He delivered them so that they may serve Him. Now let us see in Colossians chapter 1, verse 12, and on, it says: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. And now, He has delivered from the power, from the dominion of darkness, in other words, from the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of the wicked one, and has translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, the Kingdom of Christ. The Kingdom of Christ is in the spiritual sphere on the Earth in His Church, in the form of His Church, and soon that Kingdom of the Messiah will be established on the Earth in literal form. But first it is established in the spiritual, which is not seen, which the people cannot see; they cannot see a Kingdom,
14 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. heavenly Kingdom, and the Throne of David represents the heavenly Kingdom; and David, well, he represents the heavenly King. So then, we can see the blessings that exists for Israel and for all the believers in Christ. And once we are in the millennial Kingdom, then the differences between Christianity and Judaism will no longer exist. And now, just as God delivered the Hebrew people so that they may serve Him, and they served Him very well during all that journey being led by God by means of the prophet Moses, Moses being accompanied by the Pillar of Fire, which lighted them by night as a light of fire, a cloud pillar of fire, and during the day became a cloud that gave them shade, and protected them from the heat, and led them. When the Pillar of Fire arose from the tabernacle and everyone saw It, they all got prepared, and when the Pillar of Fire moved, they would follow It. They were a people led by God by the cloud that accompanied them, which during the day was a cloud that gave them shade, and during the night became a cloud of fire that lighted their way in which they were traveling, they did not have to pay electricity bills, God provided everything; and He had food for them also. And now God delivered them so that they may serve Him; and now under the New Covenant God has delivered His Church, all the ones that form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for what purpose? So that they serve Him. That s why we find the believers in Christ gathering together there in the time of the apostles, they gathered on Sundays, the eight day of the week, which is Sunday, which becomes the first day of the new week. And on Saturdays they would go to the synagogues to preach to the Jews, to make known to them the gospel of Christ, but their meetings as Christians they would do them on Sunday, the first of the week which was Sunday; you find that in the book of Acts. Because Sunday was the day in which Christ arose, and consequently in honor and memorial of the resurrection of Christ, they would meet on Sunday. And that Sunday was the DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 11 physical body, his earthly house, the physical likeness, but continues to live in the image, which is the spiritual or heavenly body that the person has. For some people, afterwards, in the final judgement, those that did not receive Christ, which will be judge, will be sentenced to the second death, they will not only die in the physical body that they will receive when they are resurrected to be judged, but also they will die in the spiritual body and the soul also in the lake of fire; that is the second death. But the believers in Christ have been delivered from the second death. The Scripture says: The second death has no power upon them. Now, notice the reason why one must lift up the voice to ask and to proclaim and to claim for the peace in Holy Land. That place called Israel or land of Israel, was received as an inheritance by Israel from the heavenly Father, the God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob, because the Earth belongs to God; the world and it s fulness, all the things that are in it, to whosoever He wants to give it to He gives it, it is an inheritance that He gives to His servants, to His people as a son. Remember that the Scripture says in chapter 4, verse 22, to 24, of the Exodus: Israel is my son, my firstborn son. Israel as a people is the firstborn son people of God; therefore they do not only have earthly blessings, but from Heaven also. The Kingdom of the Messiah will be established with the Hebrew people and in the midst of the Hebrew people, and the capital will be there in Jerusalem, and the Throne of the Messiah will be there also, the throne of David; and we will also be there as the cabinet of the Kingdom of the Messiah in eternal, immortal, and glorified bodies equal to the body of the Lord Jesus Christ which is glorified. Therefore, we do not need anything from Israel, Israel is who will need, because they need from you and from me; because in an inter-dimensional body we do not have any problem. For instance, we could be here on Earth in the Kingdom of the Lord in the things that are to be done, not working on the
12 REV. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO, PH.D. field, because that corresponds to those who will be in physical mortal bodies, because death will exist during the millennium; it says that a child will die a hundred years old, in other words, that a person who dies being a hundred years old is still a child, being compared to a thousand years, he only lived a tenth part of life; and the sinner will cursed at a hundred years. In other words, with a hundred years he has lived enough, his time of life ended. That is for the persons that will survive the great tribulation and will pass on to the Kingdom of the Messiah. So therefore, I will be with Him in the Kingdom of the Messiah, and each of you also. I see that you all know it and for that reason you say: Amen. And I know that it is not your idea, I know that you believe it, not because is your own idea, or that you are imagining it. Let us see if that which you say has a biblical foundation, if it has, then it will be so, if not then it is your own imagination and that will never come to be. Revelation chapter, 5, verse 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 who are the ones that will reign upon the Earth? Those that believe it, those that have been redeemed by the Blood of Christ. There is also another Scripture, chapter 20, verse 6, of the book of Revelation, says: 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. There you have two scriptural witnesses that which you have believed of living in the Kingdom of the Messiah is certain, because the Scripture says it; and that we are kings and priests, it is the Scripture that says it, and we believe it. DELIVERED TO SERVE GOD 13 There is another passage that also says it, Revelation chapter 1, verse 4, to 6, says: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 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.

Notice, He washed us in His Blood from our sins and made us for our God kings and priests. If He has cleansed with His Blood from all sin and has made us unto our God kings and priests, well, we believe it, and it is thus. Then I am a King and Priest after the Order of Melchizedec, and who else? Each of you also, we are not priests of an earthly order, but of the heavenly Order of Melchizedec, of the heavenly Temple; which Priesthood is for ever. For that reason in the millennium we will be as Priests also. The Priesthood order of the millennium, the religious order of the millennium will be led by the by Christ as the High Priest of the Order of Melchizedec, and His Priesthood cabinet, of His Priesthood Order of Melchizedec, which are the believers in Christ washed with the Blood of Christ and being born again. And He also says that the saints will judge the world (chapter 6, of first of Corinthians, verse 1, to 3); and Christ has been placed by God as Judge of the living and of the dead. And if He has also placed us as judges, then the Judicial Power of God will be on the Earth in the earthly Kingdom of God; and also the heavenly Priesthood Order, that Order will be on the Earth operating in the Kingdom of the Messiah, and the Order of the heavenly Kingdom will be also operating in the earthly Kingdom of God, called the Kingdom of David. Therefore, all this will be under the Order of Melchizedec. Remember that the Kingdom of David represents the
