    Prologue

    All have sinned and have come short of the glory (Rom. 3:23). What

    an awesome thought when we recognize our original garments.

    What an incredible realization concerning our present destitution as

    a result of sin. What an even greater realization when the revelation

    comes to us that the glory of God will fill the earth (Num.14:21).

    From destitution to restoration, that is the intent of God for the

    earth, and he will use men created in the likeness of sinful flesh to

    become bearers of his glory here in the earth.

    The earth has never seen anything quite like this before, men

    created in the likeness of sinful flesh but bearing the glory of God.

    Mortal men in human bodies such as ours, but clothed upon again

    with our tabernacle from on high. The 120 followed the command of

    the Lord Jesus to "go wait in Jerusalem until they were clothed upon

    with power from on high" (Luke 24:49), and history records the

    result of their impact upon the earth during the days of the church in

    Acts. But Paul is quick to tell us that there is yet to come a greater

    manifestation of the glory of God in the earth that will exceed the

    temporary and transitory realm and even all of the brightness

    reflected in the face of Moses ( 2 Cor.3:12-18). Yes, there will be a

    ministry of glory that will invade the church realm and totally

    transform it until in earth there is the declaration, JEHOVAHSHAMMAH.

    Apostle Lastra provokes us to think in his treatise concerning the

    glory of God, and will certainly challenge many who have hoped to

    "go to glory" rather than bring the glory of God to earth. Those who

    have expected to see the glory come some distant time in the future

    after Jesus returns to the earth will be challenged to realize that the

    word of God reveals something different. The glory of God will be

    revealed in us (Rom.8:17).

    I am sure there will be much more said and written as revelation

    continues to be given, but I commend this work and take much pride

    and joy in the revelation that God has continued to give to our

    spiritual family concerning his purposes. As a spiritual son, Apostle

    Lastra continues to press into the things of God with great zeal and

    dedication with the conviction that the glory of God is a present

    reality. Keep up the good work! -Apostle John Boney

    Introduction

    Those of us who have grow up in a Charismatic-Pentecostal

    environment have gotten used to constantly hearing the expression,

    "Glory be to God," to the point that it has become more of a

    colloquial expression that by force of habit has all but lost its

    meaning.

    For most Christians, the concept of Glory is something very vague,

    very distant, intimidating, or fantastic, to the point that it's not very

    desirable, or it seems impossible to reach. However, God's purposeis to bring His Glory here to the earth, and make us participants and

    heirs of that Glory through transformation, firstly of those who are

    its bearers, and then of the entire planet, fulfilling the word given

    through the Prophet Habukuk 2:14 "For the earth will be filled with

    the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea"

    We need a clearer, simpler, and more complete knowledge of God's

    glory as it truly is: a palpable, visible, tangible power that is within

    our reach. God has promised to give us his Glory and that is what He

    will do. It's time for God's people to prepare themselves to receive

    it.

    Chapter 1 - Definition of Glory

    The word Glory is derived from the Hebrew word Shekinah, which

    comes from the verb Shakan ( ). In the biblical Hebrew language,

    the word Shakan literally means to inhabit or dwell and it's

    frequently used in the Hebrew bible (Tanakh, or Old Testament).

    In ancient rabbinical Hebrew, the word is frequently used to refer to

    nests and to the custom of birds to live in them. In the same way, in

    classic Jewish thought Shekinah refers to the habitation or dwelling

    of the divine presence, so much so that communion with God isperceived in its most powerful sense in proximity to Shekinah.

    Glory, SHEKINAH, is the manifestation of God in the Most Holy Place,

    but we must understand that in that small place, only "the voice of

    Him who speaks" was manifested. God manifested himself in the

    form of "The Speaking Spirit" or the voice that speaks, or the oracle.

    God spoke through, and between, the two cherubim with their wingsextended. They served as antennas, like a type of radio receptor,

    through which God spoke with Moses.

    Without wanting to offend any of the religious spirits, we need to

    understand that where the wisdom and knowledge of man ends,

    God's begins. "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom

    and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" 1

    Corinthians 1:25. So, in the Holy of Holies, God's presence was only

    manifested through his voice, hidden in a cloud, covering the

    tabernacle during the day and a column of fire at night. The external

    manifestation of God's presence, Shekinah, is only an external

    representation of God, who is behind it. God doesn't live in his

    Glory; rather He is the fountain of Glory. God doesn't reign in his

    Glory; rather, He is the King of Glory. He is bigger than his Glory,

    10/117

    which is only a result or product of what HE is. The word Shekinah

    gives the idea of a nest, or a place where a bird places its eggs.

    However, God is not contained within his Glory, but glory is the

    external manifestation of God, which originates from Him, and whichis His inherent substance.

    Some synonyms of glory are: greatness, grandeur, perfection,

    brilliance, honour, holiness, Weight, completeness, and the sum

    characteristics of a thing. All of the characteristics that pertain to a

    person or thing can be classified as its glory. In a person, their

    health, money, fame, titles, knowledge, family, etc. make up theirglory. Each thing or object that surrounds us, and which is a product

    of creation, has a certain determined weight of glory. Since it was

    created by God a part of God's glory was deposited in it. That's why

    the psalmist David says in Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory

    of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands"

    The glory of a diamond is determined by its weight, size, quality,value, the perfection of its cuts, etc.

    The Word of God tells us, through the apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 15:40,

    there are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the

    splendour (glory) of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the

    splendour (glory) of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one

    kind of splendour (glory), the moon another and the stars another;

    and star differs from star in splendour (glory).

    In the same way, each man differs from the others in glory. Even so,

    all of the glory of all things in the entire universe and over all the

    earth precedes from God. Everything created by Him has the

    substance of His Glory and we can see the work of his hands in it. All

    glory belongs to Him, and all of the glory contained in created beings,

    animate or inanimate, comes from Him. God has given each thing

    and each person a different weight of glory.

    God deposits a different weight of glory in each one of us, which can

    grow based on the degree that we carry out and obey God's

    commands, accomplishing them according to God's purposes, which

    He created us for. God isn't a careless God who creates men and

    women to see what they might be useful for someday. God has

    created us with a specific purpose, unique in eternity, and for a

    precise time. There is nothing that hasn't been foreseen and

    predestined by God. Even our smallest beauty marks that appear onour skin at some point in time were written and considered in our

    genetic code or book of life.

    Each test in our life, each error, even each experience that we

    consider a failure are just situations to bring us more experience and

    knowledge. And even when our body grows old with the passing of

    time, the sum of our experiences is only that much greater. That'swhat the scripture says in 2 Cor. 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart.

    Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being

    renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are

    achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. On the

    Lord's path, tests and tribulations add an increasingly great eternal

    glory to our lives.

    In summary, we can conclude that Glory is all the characteristics of a

    thing, or created being, assigning the greatest quality and loftiness of

    Glory to God himself.

    Chapter 2 - Vision Brings Transformation

    The word vision gives us the idea of an objective: something you

    want to become or reach. It's the image that represents something

    we desire to have or to become. The image or vision that we have of

    ourselves is what we will become. That's why it's so important to

    have a clear vision of what God wants for us, since He wants the best

    for us, since we're his children. But he wants to reveal it to us so that

    we will walk in that vision and become what He wants us to be. The

    Word says: Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint

    Prov. 29:18

    Vision that comes from God is a supernatural way of communicating

    to us the desires of his heart for us. Usually, when God begins to

    communicate with his chosen one, he does it through visions, since it

    is the clearest way for his chosen one to be able to understand God's

    purpose. When the servant has already been trained in obedience,

    communication with God is more fluid and then he will be able to

    communicate with him through that audible voice in his Spirit, or

    even a voice he hears with his natural ears.

    In the initial vision, the spiritual development of God's chosen one is

    surely very small, and he won't completely understand God's

    purpose, but it will cause a tremendous impact that will mark his

    destiny for life, and he will not be able to turn back. God doesn't

    have any reason to reveal his purposes to his anointed one all at

    once, but little by little he will guide him until he reaches the

    moment in which he will fulfill the purpose he was called to by God

    himself.

    God's vision and revelation is progressive, and initially he will speak

    in the same language as his chosen one. However, as the years go by

    13/117

    he may realize that the first revelation is totally different than the

    final one. This won't cause any conflict; rather it will confirm an even

    more mature relationship between God and his servant.

    The vision is so important, it will mark the direction, destiny,

    conduct, and thoughts of the chosen one. From now on everything

    that happens around his life will be submitted immediately to the

    vision: if something brings him closer to fulfilling that vision he will

    receive it, if not, he will reject it.

    The vision that we have received is revelation of God's desire for us

    and through us. Our faithfulness to that vision will doubtlessly bring

    us to accomplish it. Although it seems to us that the vision takes too

    long to arrive, surely it will arrive. It will be fulfilled in Kyros, God's

    perfect timing.

    The way we see ourselves in the future is how we will be. That's why

    God brings us his vision progressively, and shows us different facets,

    so that through them, he can mold us until he is able to make us into

    the appropriate instrument to accomplish His purposes.

    God's revelation is not for everyone. It is for those whom He has

    chosen and who have listened and obeyed his calling. God doesn't

    call supernatural beings. He calls us: mortal beings, small no-name

    people created by him. Through our obedience He gives the

    opportunity for us, these natural beings, these simple individuals, tobecome His chosen instruments so that He can perform the wonders

    he has determined to do in all creation through us. Everyone who

    seeks God will find Him. He has said: He who seeks finds mat. 7:8;

    seek me and live Amos 5:4. He is calling us and as the Holy Spirit

    says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.

    Chapter 3 - Revelation with Impartation Brings

    Transformation

    This adage, which I have heard from my beloved apostle, John M.

    Boney, is very illustrative. While a man or woman of God still does

    not have sufficient maturity to communicate directly with HIM, God

    will always place a mature man of God to impart the revelation that

    he receives. During this stage, the man of God will be like God,

    speaking and guiding, and the obedience and honour towards him by

    the disciple will determine the relationship and intimacy that he will

    personally have with God in the future. He will be like a mentor and

    tutor for him until the time set by the father Gal. 4:1-2 What I am

    saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a

    slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2He is subject to

    guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.

    The way that this man responds to, honours, treats, and obeys the

    man of God or tutor, is the honour that he gives to God himself, and

    it will determine the time when God promotes him to a new spiritual

    level.

    I would like to clarify that this is the relationship that God desires for

    his children: When we come to Christ, we are new creatures. That is

    to say, we are spiritual children, and we need to be under tutors and

    mentors until we reach the status of sons of obedience. Then we will

    be ready to one day become mature enough that God might call us

    to become spiritual parents.

    It is a shame that there are many spiritual children, who have not yet

    even managed to become sons of obedience but who already want

    to be, or are pretending to be premature spiritual parents, spoiling

    their children and aborting their purpose for lack of a mature

    fatherhood designated by God himself.

    Each man and woman of God who is hungry for God's glory should

    renounce all human spiritual fatherhood and seek God's direction to

    find a mature apostle with God's revelation and support, in order to

    be formed and carried to a new spiritual level.

    The revelation that God gives to one of his servants is based on an

    entire process of intimate communion with the Father and the Son

    through the Holy Spirit. To clarify, it's because of God's mercy and

    his divine plans that He has chosen us to be receptors of his

    revelation. God's does not give his revelation to every apostle. It is

    only given to those who have the most intimate communion with

    him. In the same way, when Jesus was with his disciples on the

    mount of transfiguration (Mat. 17), he called only three of them and

    was transformed before them, showing them God's glory. And he

    commanded them, saying, "Don't tell anyone."

    There are so many men, who are called apostles, and some truly are,

    but not all of them have revelation. Most of them are sincere men of

    God, but men who have been sent out before their time, and who

    haven't received the correct spiritual formation or developed the

    character of an apostle. They are functioning in their gifts and in

    their calling, but without having Christ's character, which only the

    desert can give, and without the anointing that only service and

    submission to a servant of God can give.

    God's revelation, if it is not borrowed or belonging to someone else,

    is a true treasure: It is the valuable pearls that Jesus talks about:

    Mat. 7:6 do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls

    to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then

    turn and tear you to pieces. God's revelation cannot be given to

    anyone, unless the Lord permits it, and in every case, those who

    receive it must be worthy to receive it.

    There are many apostles and ministers preaching word that has not

    been revealed to them as if it were, dishonouring those who have

    received revelation from God, and heaping up dishonour on

    themselves. Whoever longs to receive revelation from the Father has

    to pay the price for it. Jesus himself established it: Rev 3:18 I counsel

    you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich;

    and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful

    nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Some saythat the things of God are free because salvation is free; but we must

    understand that in reality, salvation is by grace for us but it is not

    without price.

    Jesus paid the price of salvation for us when he poured out his Blood

    on the cross because of our sins. Someone, Jesus, paid for us. After

    salvation, the rest has a price. Sanctification, purification, andanointing all have a very high price and we must pay for them.

    Refined gold symbolizes God's Glory and HE wants to give it to us,

    but we have to buy it at a fair price. Whoever would attempt to

    receive revelation must be willing to humble themselves, seek a man

    of God and serve him as they would serve God himself; but they

    must be wise to know that he is the man that God will use to carry

    him to a new level; he must avoid falling into the hands of false

    apostles that are only looking for their own gain. 2 Cor 11:13 for such

    men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as

    apostles of Christ.

    Revelation and anointing cannot be transmitted simply by laying

    hands. They are transmitted through submission, service, and

    obedience over many years. Impartation is the transmission of the

    revelation, the authority, and the gifts that a man of God has

    received through many trials and tribulations. These will be given, by

    God's orders, to those who are worthy to receive them and to

    continue the process of accomplishing God's purposes. They cannotbe given according to man's will, since they aren't something that

    belongs to the man of God, but to God himself. And God is zealous

    to impart them only to those who are worthy of them. Even when a

    man of God wants to impart them to someone he prefers, God won't

    allow it. He will only allow impartation to those HE has chosen

    beforehand. Impartation will only be effective when it carries the

    seal of the Holy Spirit. It will deeply mark the life of whoever receives

    it, and they will doubtlessly accomplish the purpose they were

    chosen for.

    When the imparted revelation is received and sealed by the Holy

    Spirit, it will bring transformation in the person: in their acts, their

    words, and in every detail of their lives. This transformation will

    allow God to intervene, and He will begin to speak directly to the

    chosen servant who has been tested and approved during a process

    of obedience, submission, service, and humiliation. God himself will

    begin to manifest the different aspects of His glory so that the

    servant will be transformed into that image little by little, from glory

    to glory, until he becomes the very image of what God wants him to

    be.

    Chapter 4 - Being Transformed into the

    Image of His Glory

    When man was created, he was made in the image and likeness of

    God. Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of

    God he created him; male and female he created them. God's

    purpose was, and will always be, that we, men, be his sons, and be

    made in his image and likeness. And that's how it will be. Neither

    the devil, nor hell, nor sin, nor man himself will ever be able to

    change God's purpose, just as he established in Isaiah 49:9

    remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there

    is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known

    the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.

    I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

    And He has determined that man will rule on the earth, and that His

    glory will inhabit the earth, and that this planet will be a branch

    office of heaven, and the earth will be His dwelling place. Nothing

    can stop it. Despite the consequences of man's sin, God's purpose is

    eternal. As my beloved apostle John M Boney says, "God never had

    a plan B." When man decided to disobey God, he was separated

    from God's glory. That means that the characteristics man had that

    resembled God were taken from him: immortality, wisdom, glorified

    body, power and dominion over the elements and beings of nature,etc. Since then, God has put a plan of redemption in motion for man

    to be restored to God's glory, so His council will stand.

    Because of sin, man's understanding was darkened, and pride,

    haughtiness, and arrogance nested in his heart. Men looked to have

    God's glory for their own means, acting foolishly. Because of that,

    God gave their hearts over to sinfulness so that they would act out

    the corrupt desires of their hearts, degrading and corrupting

    themselves in every type of sin and degeneration, committing every

    type of sinfulness against their own bodies: Rom 1:21 For although

    they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to

    him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts weredarkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

    23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to

    look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

    24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts

    to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one

    another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped

    and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever

    praised. Amen.

    Sin has ruled over man to such an extent that the image and likeness

    that he had of God has become totally deformed, distorted, and

    unrecognizable. In order for man to be able to once again have the

    image and be made in the likeness of God, which is His purpose, man

    must pass through a process of Regeneration. That is to say, he must

    be made new, be born again, experience a new birth, become a new

    creature. And God has procured means for that. Blessed be His

    Name for His mercy.

    In order to do that God speaks to man through other men, through

    visions, through dreams, etc. But God will never change His purpose,

    because God is a God of love and of mercy, who never contradicts

    His Word, and He will keep his promises.

    Because sin has brought spiritual darkness, blindness and deafness,

    God speaks to man through images so that he can understand. Man

    tries to imitate what he sees. It's his nature. God uses this quality of

    man in order to bring transformation in him, until he is restored and

    becomes once again as he was in the beginning: the image and

    likeness of God. God began the process of the restoration of his

    Glory to man from the very moment mankind was separated from it.

    We are at a point of entering into the year of rest of the Lord, the

    seventh day, the seventh millennium, when God will restore managain and we will begin a new cycle, now truly eternally with the

    Lord. Praise God for His Goodness!

    In 2 Cor 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's

    glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing

    glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. It clearly tells us

    that as we reflect the Lord's glory, we are transformed into the sameimage we see and reflect.

    In every culture we see rituals that are reminders of legends that talk

    about what the gods have done, etc. Indigenous peoples dress, paint

    themselves, and dance in determined ways, imitating and trying to

    obtain the image of what they have seen. Because of this

    characteristic of man, God shows us images of His glory, so that manwill be transformed into what He sees. But in order for us to be

    transformed again into the image of God, we need the help of the

    Holy Spirit, through whom we will accomplish the purpose that God

    has determined for us, his children: to be His likeness. Since man is

    flesh, he can only discern things in the flesh.

    He doesn't understand spiritual things. He cannot understand the

    things of God, who is Spirit. That's why God uses symbols, images

    that impact the soul and spirit of man in such a way that he can be

    directed to accomplish the purposes of the Eternal One.

    Although man can't understand the things he sees, he tries to imitate

    them, and in that way God brings man little by little to complete the

    purpose of restoration.

    Chapter 5 - Manifestation of God to Man

    From the very moment of creation, God has manifested himself to

    man in different ways. In Eden, God showed himself and spoke to

    Adam personally, face to face. The word ADAM isn't just a personal

    name. It is a term used to name an entire species, and it denotes

    MAN in general. As an interesting point, I've noticed that the name

    ADAM in Spanish (ADAN) contains the letters of the genetic code,

    DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic acid, which contains the information for

    life.

    The man, Adam, had the same characteristics as God, since he was

    created that way. Man had every characteristic of God. He was the

    crown of creation. God covered him in glory as it says in Psalm

    8:4what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you

    care for him? 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

    and crowned him with glory and honour. 6 You made him ruler over

    the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet.

    God's glory was in him, because he was the ultimate work of God's

    creation, and moreover because God himself was there with him,

    and wherever God is, his glory is. God spoke directly with man.

    Because of man's sin, this personal, face-to-face communication was

    interrupted. But God continued speaking to man in various ways:

    dreams, visions, angelic visitations, through natural phenomenon,

    etc. But God never abandoned man. His purpose for him is eternal.

    As he points out in Job 33:14 For God does speak-now one way, now

    another- though man may not perceive it. 15 In a dream, in a vision

    of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their

    beds, 16 he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,

    Chapter 6 - God's Revelation is Progressive

    When our child is small, the words we use to communicate with him

    are monosyllabic, guttural sounds, gestures, and other physical

    expressions, because their maturity level doesn't allow them to

    clearly perceive what we want to communicate. That's why the

    apostle Paul says, "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought

    like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I left

    childish ways behind me." God speaks to us more and more clearly

    as we mature and grow spiritually. This is just as true for the

    individual as it is for the revelation given to God's people in general.

    What we understand of God now has a greater weight of glory than

    when we first came to the Lord. Most Christians in the world are

    spiritual children; they can't understand the things that must be

    discerned spiritually, because they are still carnal. They only have

    the revelation of Jesus as Saviour, and they don't want to complicate

    their lives more, so they lose out on the treasure of the revelation of

    Jesus as Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed, or Holy Spirit. Much less

    can they receive the revelation of Jesus as Lord and owner of their

    lives. That's why they're only interested in Jesus as Saviour of their

    lives, and not in Jesus the owner and Lord of their actions.

    The level of revelation in the church in general is exceedingly behind.

    They even continue to celebrate Easter. They only have the

    revelation of Jesus as the Lamb who was slain, and through whom

    they have escaped from Egypt, by the sign of His precious blood.

    That happened over 3500 years ago. The most advanced churches

    have part of the revelation of Pentecost, which happened 2000 years

    ago. However the majority continue singing and crying out for God

    to send the Holy Spirit, without realizing that for the past 2000 years

    He has already been here. Very few, truly few, can perceive that the

    25/117

    charismatic church has fallen behind and that where we are headed,

    and what we are about to enter is the celebration of the third great

    feast, the FEAST OF THE TABERNACLES.

    Easter speaks to us of Salvation through Jesus, the Lamb of God, who

    took away the sin of the world. Pentecost speaks to us of the coming

    of the Holy Spirit, and of charismatic gifts. But Tabernacles speaks to

    us of Glory and of the presence of God in the midst of His people.

    This is the greatest feast that the people of God must prepare

    themselves to celebrate. The former glories have remained in the

    past, and God has promised that the glory to come, or the later glory,will be greater than the former glory. The topic of conversation and

    the total preparation of God's people should be the preparations for

    the tabernacles. God's glory is about to be manifested; don't let it

    surprise you without being prepared; don't get left out of the party.

    God's people must repent of yearning for the past manifestations of

    the Spirit. The Lord has said in Isaiah 42:9 see, the former thingshave taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into

    being I announce them to you." Erroneously, some of God's people

    are crying out for a new visitation of God to the earth, when God's

    purpose is HIS HABITATION. Psalm 85:9 surely his salvation is near

    those who fear him that his glory may dwell in our land.

    When we go to visit a place, the visit is only temporary. God's

    purpose isn't just visitation, but habitation on the earth, among His

    people, as our God. Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the

    throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live

    with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with

    them and be their God.

    intentioned men without revelation, will continue anxiously awaiting

    the rapture, to abandon the earth and leave it to the enemy to

    continue destroying it, instead of taking up God's purpose for

    themselves: Rev 5:10 You have made them to be a kingdom andpriests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."

    Nowhere in the bible can we find a scripture stating that it's God's

    purpose for us to reign with him in heaven. I'm sorry to disappoint

    you, as I was disappointed when I received this teaching, but I went

    to work, trying to disprove it through an exhaustive search of God's

    Word, and that is how I have been able to advance to a new level ofunderstanding and revelation. We must respect God's decrees and

    not desire to invade what belongs only to Him: heaven. Let's receive

    the inheritance He gave to us: the earth.

    Psalm 115:15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven

    and earth. 16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth

    he has given to man. The inheritance for God's children is the earth:Mathew 5:5 blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

    The devil illegally took over the earth, temporarily, because man

    gave him the dominion that God had originally given to man. But

    with the coming of the second Adam, the one who came from

    heaven, authority over the earth has been restored, Hallelujah! The

    enemy no longer has any authority whatsoever on the earth, much

    less in heaven, because Jesus established it when he said to his

    disciples: Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All

    authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

    Christians should stop trying to inherit off to the devil something that

    God has given to them: the earth. The only thing that can be given

    to the devil is the dross, the wicked; those who have refused to

    recognize Jesus Christ as their only Lord and Saviour. Psalm 119:119

    All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross; therefore I love

    your statutes.

    Once again it will be as in the times of Noah: Matthew 24:38 For in

    the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying

    and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and

    they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came

    and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the

    Son of Man.

    Only the wicked were seized and destroyed; the righteous remained

    in the earth and repopulated it. That is how it will be again. That's

    why Christians must leave behind their religious mentality and be

    transformed and renewed in the spirit of their understanding so that

    they can be converted into what God truly wants us to be: Children

    of God, fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God's family.

    Ephesians 2:19 that is why you are no longer strangers and

    foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God'shousehold. We need to completely and indisputably receive the

    word of the King our God who says, Isaiah 46:9 remember the

    former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I

    am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the

    beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My

    purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

    We are now living in a glorious time of revelation. There is an

    abundance of bread, that is to say, revealed Word. God's purpose is

    being more clearly revealed now that God is lifting up mature men.

    God is restoring His House and the first thing he is lifting up is the

    altar or the ministers to officiate and minister and burn incense

    before HIM. God is lifting up a new ministerial order; apostles with a

    new anointing like that of Melchizedek. Up to now, with very few

    honourable exceptions, the ministers we have known as forerunners

    of the apostolic, have been a product of a levitical, priestly anointing

    - the sons of prophets. They have been formed and forged with a

    very basic apostolic anointing and revelation, like that of John theBaptist.

    Although they've preached about and mentioned the Kingdom of

    Heaven, they haven't had revelation about. They have only

    announced what is most basic, because the revelation is reserved for

    the new order of apostles with the anointing of Melchizedek, since

    the levitical priestly anointing has been corrupted by money, fame,and the power of domination. Now we are seeing great names and

    renowned apostles whose revelation has dried up, but who want to

    continue ministering, taking advantage of their names, and

    preaching the former glory. The Lord says they will end up just like

    John the Baptist: decapitated by a conniving woman (Jezebel)

    because they have been hindering the rise of the new ministerial

    order, obstructing the rise of the apostolic.

    It's a time of transition: prophets can't have apostolic children. The

    only thing they can do is announce them or discover their callings

    and identify them. But every attempt to impose a spiritual

    fatherhood that God hasn't ordained will be detrimental to them.

    God wants to give direct fatherhood and revelation to this new

    generation of apostles with the anointing of Melchizedek, and that's

    just what He will do. Very soon we will see judgments on those

    ministers who want to keep monopolizing the sky.

    God will cast down the stars from on high, and we will see many of

    them fall like lightning. The time for abusive spiritual coverings is

    over. A time of divine covering has begun: a time of unity, mutual

    submission, camaraderie, teaching, love, and heavenly tenderness.

    Chapter 7 - The Manifestation of God's Glory

    When man was created in the image and likeness of God he was just

    like God is; God's glory was in him. Just as God is Spirit, so man was

    spirit, and could communicate with God, spirit to Spirit. However,

    because of sin, the glory, or divine characteristics, that God had given

    to man were taken from him, and his spiritual character became

    subjugated to his carnal nature. Then his mind, reasoning,

    conscience, and thoughts, that is to say, his soul, began to govern

    him.

    He stopped being an eminent spiritual being contained within a body

    of flesh, and became a carnal man, contained within an earthly,

    natural, animal, fleshly body. Gen 6:3 then the LORD said, "My Spirit

    will not contend with man forever, for he is flesh; his days will be a

    hundred and twenty years." God had placed eternity in the heart of

    man, that is to say, immortality. Ecl. 3:11 He has made everything

    beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men;

    yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to

    end. However, because of sin, and by God's mercy, death came. If it

    hadn't come, the perverted man would have remained eternally

    perverted, without possibility of redemption.

    So, God established a law: Rom 6:23 for the wages of sin is death,

    but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. From the

    moment man was separated from Gods glory there could no longer

    be communication between God and man as before. Now God

    established a new way of communicating with man: through images,

    signs, supernatural manifestations, etc. In this way, man's soul,

    his intellect, his reason, and his feelings would be marked and

    impacted and little by little he could be carried through the

    process of restoration until he was regenerated.

    From then on, God has shown himself to man through his chosen

    ones, to whom he showed himself in the form of angels, or an

    audible voice, or a burning bush, a column of fire, or cloud, as a

    consuming fire, etc. In this way, man could record the power of themanifestation of the glory of God in his soul. God's glory is his

    brilliance, his light, and the visible manifestation of God, which

    appears to man through symbols, or images so that man, who is

    flesh, can understand the intention and purpose of God.

    We know the story of the chosen people of Israel, who rose up from

    the seed of a chosen man, Abraham. God chose Israel for theirinsignificance. Deut 7:7 The LORD did not set his affection on you

    and choose you because you were more numerous than other

    peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. God's purpose in

    choosing Israel, a people who were not a people, was that through

    them he would speak to the entire world, which is what he has been

    doing up to now. Israel is the living testimony of God's project on

    earth. Israel was witness to the glory of God.

    Ex. 16:10 While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite

    community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory

    of the LORD appearing in the cloud Ex 24:17 To the Israelites the

    glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the

    mountain.

    The nation of Israel was an eyewitness to the visible, palpable,

    audible, and tangible manifestation of God's Glory. His prophets,

    witnesses of these demonstrations, faithfully describe their

    appearance and manifestation; presented as a cloud in the desert,

    column of fire during the night, light stronger than the sun, thunder,

    lightning, earthquakes, etc.

    Chapter 8 - God's Glory Doesn't Produce Change

    by Itself in the Spirit of Man

    Although the people of Israel were first-hand witnesses to the

    manifestation of God's Glory, it did not provoke change in the spirit

    of man. Due to the fact that they received the glory with their soul,

    their flesh and their darkened reasoning, they refused God's glory

    and asked Moses to be the one who talked with God instead of

    them. Deut 5:25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will

    consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God

    any longer. 26 For what mortal man has ever heard the voice of the

    living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived? 27 Go near

    and listen to all that the Lord our God says. Then tell us whatever the

    Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.

    Nonetheless, although God spoke clearly to the people, they said:

    We will not walk in it, we will not hear. Jer 6:16 this is what the Lord

    says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient path, ask

    where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your

    souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen

    over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said,

    'We will not listen.'

    That is why God executed judgment upon them, up to the

    present day; nonetheless, the counsel of the Lord will prevail; since

    He swore on oath that He would bless all the nations of the earth

    through Abraham, God remains faithful to His promises, and through

    and, even if it is just one man, God will fulfill His purposes. God has

    saved a faithful remnant for Himself through which He will

    accomplish His purposes here on Earth.

    The manifestation of God's glory does not produce change by itself.

    For God's glory to produce change, it should make an impact in the

    spirit, not just the soul of a human being. Num 14:22 Not one of the

    men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt

    and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times -

    23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their

    forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever seeit. 24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows

    me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his

    descendants will inherit it.

    We, God's people of today, cannot commit the same mistake as the

    people of Israel. We have to be transformed in the spirit by God's

    glory. We can achieve this, if the Holy Spirit dwells in us. There is NOglory of God if it is not through the Holy Spirit of God living in us. The

    transformation in us from glory to glory will only be accomplished by

    the Spirit of God. 2 Cor 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all

    reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness

    with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the

    Spirit. The people of Israel were all witnesses to the manifestation of

    God's glory in Egypt and in the desert, but this did not produce

    changes in their lives because they only received it in their mind, soul

    and in their flesh; nevertheless, in the remnant, Caleb and Joshua,

    there was a different Spirit: The Spirit of God. They were guided by

    Gods Spirit. They trusted in the Lord's promises.

    They didn't walk by sight but by faith, and they received the prize:

    They entered into the Promised Land. It's the same now: God's

    people are rebellious, immature, and only want to see the glory of

    God like a light show: to excite them and to have something to tell

    others, but it doesn't produce any kind of change in their spirit. We

    should prepare our spirit for the manifestation of God's glory, anddecide not to be just spectators but BEARERS of God's glory.

    We can NOT commit the same mistake as Israel, who rejected the

    glory of God. In consequence to that rejection, that generation of the

    people of Israel died in the desert and did not enter into the

    Promised Land, but blessed be the Lord who is a God of

    opportunities, and gave us a second chance.

    Moses received the tablets of the law on Mount Sinai, and as he

    came down the mountain he found the people worshiping the

    golden calf and broke the tablets, but God gave him a new

    opportunity and gave him new stone tablets of the law. Exodus 34:1

    The Lord said to Moses, "Chisel out two stone tablets like the first

    ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first

    tablets, which you broke."

    Adam sinned and was dismissed from the Glory of God, but through

    Christ, the second Adam, we all have the opportunity for the Glory of

    God to be restored. 1 Cor 15:22 for as in Adam all die, so in Christ all

    will be made alive.

    Israel rejected God on many occasions, the last time through the

    rejection of Jesus as the Messiah, nonetheless through us who have

    received Him, God gives man the opportunity to come and be fellow

    citizens with the saints and members of God's family. John 1:11 He

    came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12

    Yet to all who receive him, to those who believed in his name, he

    gave the right to become children of God - 13 children born not of

    natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born

    of God. In the time of Eli, the priest, because of the sins of his

    children and his lukewarm rebuke, the glory of God was transferred

    to the Philistines. Nevertheless, God gave them a new opportunity

    and the Arc of God was brought to Jerusalem again by David, torestore praise and worship, and to see God's glory manifested again

    as it filled the temple at the inauguration of the House of God that

    Solomon built.

    For a long time God's glory has been far away from God's people, but

    this is the time when, through praise and worship, the glory of God

    will be restored again to us who are His people. God is bringing newrevelation and new levels of worship, since it is worship that makes

    God's presence descend, for He inhabits the praises of His people,

    but worship will cause the glory of God to be restored once again.

    That is why the Lord is searching for true worshippers that worship

    Him in Spirit and in truth. John 4:23 yet a time is coming and has now

    come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and

    in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.

    In these moments we can perceive in the spirit that God is finishing

    the building of His House, and that the moment in which the Glory of

    God fills the Most Holy Place is very near.

    God's glory does not descend upon a temple that has not seen

    finished being built and I feel in my spirit that God is right now

    putting the covering on the sanctuary. If you remember, the roof of

    the tabernacle is made up of 4 layers: the interior of fine linen; the

    next layer on top, a layer of goat hair; the next, a layer of rams skins

    dyed red; and the last exterior layer of the hides of badgers, sown

    and bound together.

    Those layers represent the unity and submission that God is now

    bringing among His ministers all around the world. There is no longer

    a place for independent ministers. God is bringing a spirit of unity

    and submission among His servants. The sign of a true servant of God

    is submission, humility and desire to work in unity with others.

    The last part of building the House of God is done is absolute silence;

    it is a spiritual job, and just as in Solomon's time, only blocks dressed

    at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron

    tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built. 1 Kings 6:7

    Only those that understand and perceive the things of the spirit will

    be able to realize that the House of God is about to be finished. And

    then the Glory of God will fill His house, in which each one of us are

    living stones, or pillars in the temple of my God, or vessels of

    honour. Whatever the placement within the House of God, all of us

    that take part in the House of God will be full of the Glory of God.

    Chapter 9 - Where is my House?

    The majority of people, if asked: "Where does God live?" would

    surely answer: "In heaven". Others, a little more advanced, would

    say: "In heaven, on earth, and everywhere."

    This question has been asked by many people throughout the

    centuries but let's look at what God Himself says about His dwelling

    place: King Solomon, the man with wisdom from God said: 2 Chron

    6:18 But will God really dwell on earth with men? The heavens, even

    the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this templeI have built!

    God Himself says through the prophet Isaiah 66:1: This is what the

    Lord says: "Heaven is my throne and the earth my footstool. Where

    is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?

    Let's look at this closely: Heaven, according to God Himself, is only

    His throne. The throne of a king is the place where he governs,

    where he issues his decrees; where he gives orders so that things get

    done; we could say it this way: it is God's governing office.

    The earth is a footstool where God rests His feet. So then: Where is

    the House of God? Where does God dwell?

    Well, in reality God has different dwelling places, according to what

    we see in His Word, and that doesnt seem strange to me: if He is

    the Creator of the universe and is Almighty He can have houses in

    different places. Let's look at what some of them are.

    1) God dwells in those who love and obey His Word. John 14:23 Jesus

    replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will

    love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

    Jesus is the Word; the Word is the Word of God; Jesus is the Word of

    39/117

    God; He that obeys and keeps His Word loves Jesus: Jesus is God. He

    that loves His Word has God living in Him; therefore Jesus-God

    dwells and lives in the temple that is the person that loves God. A

    human being is the quintessential House of God, since our body isGod's Temple and God likes to make His dwelling in His Sanctuary, or

    in the Most Holy Place, which is our spirit.

    2) We are part of the House of God: Although individually we are

    living stones in God's temple, as a body we are the Temple and

    House of God; some as stones, others as pillars and others as vessels

    of honour. Eph. 2:22 and in him you too are being built together tobecome a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. Right now we are

    in the process of building the House of God, as a dwelling in which

    God lives by his Spirit. We are living stones in God's House 1

    Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual

    house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable

    to God through Jesus Christ.

    3) God dwells in eternity, in the high and holy place: Isaiah 57:15 For

    thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name

    is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a

    contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to

    revive the heart of the contrite ones. (NKJV)

    4) God dwells in those whose lives are united with Jesus in spirit: 1

    Cor 6:17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in

    spirit. And when he unites with the Lord, then the deity dwells in that

    holy temple that is the man or woman of God consecrated to God.

    Col 2:9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,

    5) The Church is the House of God: Christ's Church, with Christ's

    design and Christ as the chief cornerstone, and the foundation of

    apostles and prophets and the revelation given to them, is the House

    40/117

    of God. There are two types of Church: Christ's Church and all the

    rest. Christ's Church has the government, the structure, the doctrine

    and the revelation of Christ. Furthermore, it is submitted to the

    Head, which is Christ. It knows, obeys, lives, loves and teaches Hiscommandments.

    The rest are Jezebel-type churches: they say that they have a

    husband, but it's only by name, because they do not submit to Him

    and they have the government that they want. Nevertheless they

    use the name of their husband, just to feel protected, but in reality

    they don't know Christ's commandments, much less live them. Theysay Christ is their head, but they do not submit to Him.

    Paul clearly established in his letter to Timothy: 1 Tim. 3:15 if I am

    delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves

    in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar

    and foundation of the truth.

    Christ and the Church are ONE; while He is the head, the church is

    the Body of Christ.

    Right now, even before the Glory of God has been manifested on

    earth, as it will be in a very short time, we are God's representatives

    on earth; The apostle who felt the most loved said so in 1 John 4:17

    In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have

    confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are likehim.

    The Holy City of Jerusalem that will descend from heaven is the bride

    of the Lamb, and in this city there is no temple, because the temple

    is the Lord God Almighty himself. But right now in the spirit we are

    already ONE in the Lord, if we truly have been united to Him. Rev.

    21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God

    Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 the city does not need the

    sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and

    the Lamb is its lamp.

    God dwells in His Holy temple and WE ARE GOD'S TEMPLE ON

    EARTH: The Lord says: Where is the house you will build for me?

    Where will my resting place be? And we can say to the Lord: Here am

    I! Here we are! We are your Holy Temple. You can dwell in this,

    your House!

    Psalm 11:4 The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly

    throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them. We are

    God's living temple: 1 Cor 3:16 dont you know that you yourselves

    are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 17 If anyone

    destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is

    sacred, and you are that temple. So then, we can surely see that we

    are the living dwelling place of God. Where God is, His glory is, and if

    we are His temple, God's glory has to be manifested in us. God'sglory has not been manifested in us yet, due to the fact that we are

    in the process of REPENTANCE, that is to say, of a change of mindset.

    We still continue to think of ourselves as poor Christians persecuted

    by the devil all the time and defeated by his evil forces. We should

    understand, that the trials through which we are all passing as

    children of God have the purpose of adding unto us, each day, a

    more and more excellent weight of glory: 2 Cor. 4:17 For our light

    affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more

    exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (NKJV)

    We should glorify God for each trial we face, as it says in

    James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face

    trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your

    faith develops perseverance. Each trial that we successfully face

    works to add to us a far more exceeding weight of glory, which is the

    medium through which we are transformed from glory to glory until

    we are able to become the very image of God, or rather, until we are

    restored to our original image: Made in the image and likeness ofGod.

    I can confidently declare in my spirit that we are the glorious

    generation. That is, the generation that will be witness to the coming

    of the glory of God over the earth. I am a minister of the Glory of

    God, but with a specific purpose: TO BE A BEARER OF GOD'S GLORY.

    The great void that is in my spirit can only be filled by the Glory ofGod, and every day my spirit cries out for it - just as thousands of

    God's children cry out, groaning as one, yearning to be covered in

    God's glory. In the same way, creation is groaning with us for the

    glorious manifestation of the children of God, as the apostle Paul

    clearly says in chapter 8 of Romans.

    I feel in my spirit that the Glory of God is closer that we can imagineand I believe it because surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing

    without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets Amos 3:7, and

    He is raising up a company of apostles and prophets with a fresh,

    powerful revelation of God's glory, and giving signs like those that

    have been given each time that God's glory has visited the earth.

    The difference is that now God's glory will not be a visitation to the

    earth, but A HABITATION; that is, it will remain here on earth

    forever! May His Name be praised!

    Chapter 10 - Signs That Announce the Coming of God's Glory

    God calls a servant chosen and prepared by God Himself.

    Every time that God is going to do something big on earth, he

    does it through a man both chosen and predestined for such a

    purpose. God cannot do anything on earth if it is not through a man.

    The reason for this is not because He isn't All-Powerful, because He

    is, but because He cannot retract His Word. He limited Himself in His

    power when He established that the Earth is for the sons of men.

    Psalms 115:15-16 May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker ofheaven and earth. The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the

    earth he has given to man.

    Since He decided to give man dominion and lordship, God does

    everything through a chosen man. Although the occasion has arisen

    that God has made Himself man in order to intervene on earth, when

    He hasn't found anyone to fulfil His purpose: Ez 22:30 I looked for aman among them who would build up the wall and stand before me

    in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but

    I found none. For that reason, God Himself was made flesh and

    dwelled among us: John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his

    dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and

    only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

    God lifted up and used a man like Moses to manifest His power

    against Pharaoh, to free the people of Israel from Egypt, to erect a

    Sanctuary in the desert to dwell among them, filling that tabernacle

    with His glory. God lifted up His servant Abraham, so that through

    him He could complete His purpose here on earth, and bless all

    nations of the earth through his seed, that is Jesus, the Christ and

    Lord. God lifted up His servant David so that he would establish His

    kingdom and so that through his loins a son would come, Solomon,

    who would build a House for the Lord, which would be full of His

    glory. God rose up the priest Ezekiel, as a prophet, to show him the

    vision of the glory of God.

    Now, in the same way, God is raising up servants all over the planet,

    predestined to manifest God's glory in our days. I am one of them,

    Praise God! We have been chosen by Him, predestined to be born in

    this time; our character has been formed in a special way; we are

    products of very special circumstances and our calling has been

    supernatural. We have been marked by His Word and His calling,and God has placed within us a radical spirit and a hunger for His

    glory. We are a glorious generation.

    2) He gives the revelation of His purposes through dreams and visions and

    visitations.

    Each one of the servants that God has chosen to manifest His glory

    has received direct communication from God through angelicvisitations as with Abraham near the great trees of Mamre. Gen. 18:1

    The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mare while he

    was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. God also

    speaks to His servants through dreams as with Jacob: Gen. 28:12 He

    had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its

    top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and

    descending on it.

    Daniel received from God the secret of the revelation of

    Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Dan. 2:19 during the night the mystery

    was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of

    heaven. Today, God still speaks to His servants; God has spoken to

    me and speaks to me continuously, when it is time to call me or

    when is it the time to bring me to a new level of revelation.

    As a psychiatric medical specialist for the treatment of addictions I

    know that when a patient says that God speaks to them, they are

    truly disturbed. And God spoke to me. But, if in five years the

    person that says that God speaks to them is not in a psychiatrichospital then truly God has spoken to them. And God spoke to me

    over 7 years ago and I still have not ended up in a place like that. God

    speaks today and is giving us revelations through dreams, visions and

    revelations about His purposes. Maybe God is speaking now more

    than ever.

    3) He sends a zeal for holiness and faithfulness to His servant, to call thepeople.

    Something that distinguishes someone chosen by God is that they

    have found grace in God's eyes. God gives them a zeal for holiness

    and faithfulness, just like Abraham who was faithful to God, with the

    zeal for holiness that came upon Elijah, with the boldness like that of

    John the Baptist, etc.

    4) He sends His anointed one like a voice that cries out in the desert:

    The deserts where the voice that announces the Word of the Lord

    travels are not only geographic but those places where few people

    listen to the message that is being announced. Just like John the

    Baptist; like Ezekiel 12:25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it

    shall be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, you rebellious

    house, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.

    The House of God, God's people, continue to be rebellious, lacking

    discernment; they don't know how to listen to God's voice. Because

    of their pride, denominational arrogance, and the spirit of religion,

    they dont know how to discern one sent by the Lord.

    They don't know how to discern God's voice. The Lord is speaking to

    His people today, through those He has sent saying: Isaiah 40:3 in the

    desert prepares the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness

    a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be raised up, everymountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level,

    the rugged places a plain. 5 And the glory of the Lord will be

    revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the

    Lord has spoken.

    This is God's message for today's people: Prepare yourselves, oh

    people of God! Prepare the way for the manifestation of the Glory ofthe Lord on earth; start living uprightly not just when others are

    looking, but when you are alone; all those who are mourning and

    depressed, value yourself for what you are: a child of God! All those

    who are arrogant and prideful, humble yourselves; those who are

    living wrongly, in iniquity, take the straight path and all those who

    have been haughty and looking down on others, clothe yourself with

    meekness; When this happens with God's people God's Glory will

    manifest on earth; and the world will see it, because just as the Lord

    has promised it, so it will come to pass.

    During Moses' time the glory of the Lord manifested and all the

    people saw the glory of the Lord with their own eyes. During the last

    almost 6000 years since God placed Adam in the garden of Eden, in

    this current cycle of evolution within the eternity of God, He has

    been visiting the earth from time to time, and intervening through

    His chosen ones to guide His remnant to accomplish his purpose of

    restoration, which He has determined since eternity.

    We are about to finish the 6000 year season and enter into the 7th

    day, the day of the Lord's rest; the only day in which there is no

    longer night. If you notice in reading the book of Genesis, every time

    God spoke and ordered something to be made on earth we find the

    declaration: And there was evening and there was morning the first

    day, the second day, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth. But on

    the seventh day, the evening no longer appears, because in that daythere will no longer be any night; nor will there be a need for the

    sun. Rev. 22:2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On

    each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of
