Our New Bodies of Our Eternal Habitation Pt.4
JEREMIAH 31:3
3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love (He had already loved you when before the foundation of the world you existed in His great thoughts): therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. (Because He love you then, He has now drawn you to Himself in this life by the voice of the word for your age of which your eternal gene recognized)
ROMANS 8:29-30
29 ¶ For whom he did foreknow (this is speaking of the group of the “Lambs” section of the book of life – these are the sheep of His fold that were in His great foreknowledge to be a part of each church age, and of which He vowed that He would lose none. All that were of this group of His “sheep fold” came into the world by the birth of their terrestrial bodies in the season of the age and time of their messenger – and every single one of them (of each church age) received the word for their day, not one ever failed to receive that word – they all heard from their theophany bodies that were waiting for them in heaven, and so it is the same for us in this end time bride age), he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
A glorified body is the destination that awaits us at the end of the journey for every single person who has received the word for their age.
Our New Bodies of Our Eternal Habitation Pt.4
JOB 22:21
21 ¶ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. (this word “acquaint” = to show harmony with, to be familiar with, to know intimately – this is the way that we are to know the Lord, and this should be the number one purpose for every man, woman, and child in this life of earthly toil, is to become acquainted with God, to learn His ways and His character. And we can only come to truly know Him by the revealing of Himself though His word – and then that is when good will come to us)
JEREMIAH 9:23-24
23 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: (Notice – all these are human life temporal things of which people pursue as they go along their short journey of their earthly life)
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
A.W Pink in his book titled “The Attributes of God” said that “A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature.
The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental apprehension of His perfections as revealed in holy scripture. An unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshiped”.
*Last week we spoke about how that so many people of this modern age want to glorify their bodies – they want to somehow change all their bodily imperfections; they want to live in beautiful bodies.
**Brother Branham said of when he went to Florida that they were trying to bring on a millennium without repentance, they were all trying to live in great big mansions with big palm trees like in the millennium – but without repentance. It’s the same way that people want to live in beautiful and perfect bodies, yet still wanting to maintain their sinful life – they refuse to repent and to change their ways.
(Show slides) *Beautiful houses and beautiful bodies go together because it is the same thing in that you dwell in both of them.
**But as believers of this message under our church age messenger – we have repented of our own thinking and have replaced it with the thinking of the word – we have become acquainted with Him, and so there has to be a house somewhere that is worthy to house a person with that level of spiritual wealth, because the house reflects the wealth – this is why (because of the word that resides within) us we know that we have a perfect celestial body already waiting for us on the other side that we’ll step into the minute we leave this body (there has to be a house worthy), and we also know that we have a bricks and mortar mansion built over there for us also as brother Branham saw in the vision of when he saw his wife Hope and little Sharon Rose – she told him that there was a mansion there for him, and that mansion even had a Morris chair in it, because everything here is only a reflection of what is being reflected from there.
And so this is why that while we are here in this lifetime, we don’t want to focus on our little temporal pup tent ($29.99) bodies, but we want to focus on our soul by feeding it the revelation of the word for our age, because that is the wealth of what we accumulated in this lifetime that will require a mansion on the other side of a house that is worthy of that wealth.
*So in order to have a body change, we don’t need to inject chemicals into our bodies like what the world thinks - we just need to receive the word for this age into our souls - because the messenger of this age has told us that one day our new bodies will form around the word that we have received into our souls.
**So the real secret to the body change is to receive the revelation of the word for your day of what God has sent through the messenger for this age.

It's not this outside see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. It isn't. It's subject to death and will die, but the inside part of you, down in here, inside, that is the person that cannot die. See? And that's the person that the new life starts from, from this new birth; and it builds another person in the image of this person you are, around that life. You get it?
1114-249 So potentially it's in here, and what is it? The Word promised before the foundation of the world. And around there, this only reflects the negative; that will reflect the positive, the Word. See? And the same thing is--or the translation of the Bride will be the same thing. The Word that's in you, the body will materialize around that Word,
***In this scripture of Matthew 18:10 that we have been using as a theme scripture over this series - Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. We would never have known that these angels in heaven were our theophany bodies until an end time prophet of God told us.

560-316 …And now notice, said, "Because they--their angels always beholds My Father's face which is in heaven." You see? In other words, "Their angels, their--their messengers, their bodies, angelic bodies that they'll go to if they die, are always before My Father's face in heaven." See?

1155-51 …Now, it isn't promised that sinners has Angels; it's only the redeemed has Angels. Did you know that?
Putting these two quotes together we can see that only those whose names are in the “Lambs” section of the book of life have theophany bodies in heaven, and that these are the ones whom the Lord spoke of that He would not lose one, because they already have a body waiting for them on the other side.
But the other section of the book of life are the groups under the 5th seal that are given white robes at the great white throne judgement – when they leave this world in death, they become souls under the alter.

1155-49 …And now, they will be outside the city, not the Bride, but the people that come up in the second resurrection that will be tillers of the soil, just like Adam was, and so forth, and carers of the garden. But the King and Queen will remain in the city.
Notice – they will be in a perfect human body like what Adam was in order to till the soil. All the grey areas of their previous earthly fallen body will not exist in that new eternal white robe body – but yet it will still somehow be a terrestrial body of this earth, it will not be a glorified body like what the bride members will enjoy.

E-54 That's the same way it is in heaven. Those souls under the altar, crying, "How long, Lord? How long?" They're like theophanies there.
Notice, he does not say that they were in theophany bodies, but it was like theophanies - spirit formed bodies like holograms but not real bodies.

88 Then, after you recognized the very Word of God was Eagle Food, then you left the other thing. You have then been formed into the living image of the living God. You heard from your theophany. (You have heard transmission from your theophany body that is only 20 feet away from you right now – this is why they are looking for alien life, trying to receive transmission and messages from a higher form of alien life not knowing that it is right here now) "If this earthly body be dissolved, we have one waiting."
HEAR.HIS.VOICE_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 58-1005M
E-12 There's three stages of everything. There's a stage of the mortal body, the immortal body, and then the glorified body.
… But then when that body, a kind of a celestial body, when it returns back to the earth, it picks up the--the substance that it once lived in and then it becomes a glorified body.
*Notice what he is saying here – Both the theophany body and the substance of our earthly body unit together to form our glorified bodies – in other words it takes the ingredients of both bodies for you to be a part of the first resurrection of being raised in a glorified body.
**When you recognize the word for your day, then you have heard from your theophany body – your body in heaven is calling from that eternal realm to your soul that is in your terrestrial body on earth.”
What is that? It is the deep calling to the deep, because there is an eternal body that is calling to the eternal soul that is in you – the two want to be united together because they are both from eternity.
*But this body that you are in now, it is just a tent that on its own is not interested in eternal things, it just wants to have a good time in the flesh while it is living its temporal life on earth.
*We were all born into this world by sex. Every one of us bypassed the word of the stage of our theophany body and came directly into fallen human flesh.
Adam was not born by sex, but came from thought to word to flesh. Jesus was not born by sex, but came from thought to word to flesh. But you and I came from the thought of God directly into fallen flesh; we bypassed the word stage of our theophany and came directly into our fallen terrestrial flesh.
*The building material that was used to make up your human body came from your father’s sperm and your mother’s egg, and that building material was deposited at the building site of your mother’s womb.
So the building site of your earthly body took place in the womb of your mother, and it took nine months of construction to build, and that is about the same as an average house takes to build.
*And then you came and dwelt inside of your earthly terrestrial house. And if you came from the eternal thoughts of God as an attribute of God, then in your spirit you were born with a representation of something in you - in that you have an ear that is able to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church in your age.
*That is why many have heard the message but yet have never heard the message. It’s like hearing a person talking in Chinese or any other foreign language, you can hear them but you don’t hear them – you don’t understand them.
*But the elected have a special gene from God that makes the language of the word for their age clear to their understanding – they have that gene in them from birth.
Millions of others can hear it, but they will never hear it with understanding because they do not have that ear of that gene of God to be able to understand it.
So this is why that it can only come by election - you have to come with that already in you from birth.
139-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
THE HOLY SPIRIT IN EVERY AGE
Revelation 2:11,
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
There is not one church age where this verse is not mentioned. Every single age has the same admonition to the people of every age. "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith." But it is absolutely impossible for all men to hear what the Spirit says to the different ages.
… we see that there is only one group of people, and that a very special group of people who are able to hear what the Spirit says in each age. It is one special group that receives the revelation for each age. That group is of God, because the group that cannot hear is not of God. (John 8:42-44.) (He is not saying that they cannot be save – he is simply saying that they are not in the elected group that is able to receive the word for their age. All those that are in this elected group have a theophany body on the other side, and so this is the group of which Christ said that He would lose none – but in the other group, it is possible for people to be lost) The group that can and does hear what the Spirit is saying and receives the revelation thereof is that group described in I Corinthians 2:6-16. They are the ones who have the Spirit of God. They are the ones that are born of God. They are baptized into the body of the Lord Jesus Christ by His Spirit. They are baptized with the Holy Ghost.
To further bring out what we have just said, and to also use a Scripture that should be borne in mind as we talk about who it is that is baptized with the Holy Ghost, see what Jesus says in John 6:45,
"It is written in the prophets, And they shall All be taught of God."
But turn to Isaiah 54:13 whence this is taken and it reads,
"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord."
The ALL of God are the CHILDREN of God. Thus it is that the evidence of being a true child of God, (he whom the Spirit has come upon and in-dwells) is again set forth as one taught the Word by the Holy Ghost.
141-2 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
And to every age we hear the same truth. "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches." But only a Spirit-filled man can hear the revelation for that age. None other can. No sir. They cannot…
166-1 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
Did you get that last thought? I repeat, every church age ends with the same admonition. "He that hath an ear, let him (an individual) hear what the Spirit saith to the churches." The Spirit gives the Word. He has the truth for each age. Each age has had its own elect, and that elect group always 'heard the word,' and received it, proving they had the Seed in them.
… Oh, there are so many voices in the world--so many problems and needs crying for attention; but there will never be a voice so important and so worth attending as the voice of the Spirit. So, "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
And so this is what the message teaches us about what makes the elected of God (of those of whom He will lose none) different from the general book of life category.
The elect of God have their names written in the Lambs section of the book of life, and so from their birth on earth, they already have an eternal gene of God in them that came predestinated to them from God, and that gene is a seal, and the bible said that the seal of God standeth sure, in that the Lord knoweth them that are His.
II TIMOTHY 2:19a
19 ¶ Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.
**In that theophany body, we know that it has sight beyond what this body has.
When Brother Branham was in his theophany body when he went beyond the curtain of time, he could look back into this dimension from that dimension. His earthly body wasn’t twenty feet away from his other body that he was in, and from his theophany body he was able to see into this dimension only 20 feet away, and see his terrestrial body lying on the bed.
*From his body in that dimension he could look over into this dimension and see where he had hung up his shirt on the bed post of when he was in his terrestrial body.
*This is how we can know some of the things of the capabilities of the glorified body, because the glorified body will be a combination of the qualities of both the theophany and the earthly bodies, and so we know that the glorified body will have multi-dimensional abilities to be able to look into other dimensions and to step over into those dimensions.
*That is why Jesus was able to disappear so easily after his resurrection and then reappear somewhere else, because the scripture is showing us the advanced capabilities of a glorified body over just the terrestrial human body.
“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle...,
**What is Paul doing? He’s separating we who live inside the tabernacle of this terrestrial body from those who are living inside the tabernacle of their theophany bodies.
“for we know that if this earthly house of this tabernacle be dissolved...”. He is separating the soul, the gene from the body. You are not the body, You are a spirit that lives in a body.
A dog, a horse, a goat, a cow is a body with a spirit in it. But you are a spirit son and a spirit daughter of a spirit God expressed in a body of flesh, a spirit expressed in an earthly tabernacle. You are an eternal attribute of God, and that’s why your name is on the Lamb’s section of the Book of Life. And you are predestinated and foreordained to recognize your day and its Message - to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in your day.
*Let’s follow your journey.
In the beginning your soul had always been a part of the eternal thoughts of God. But it was appointed a time to be born and come into a flesh body. Our time was the last age, this last Laodicean church age, we were ordained by God to receive the last day messenger and to receive this message and to become a member of the last church age part of the body of Christ, whose is a part of the collective body that is to be join to the Head – the headship of the word which is Christ.
So first we were in the thoughts, then we come down into flesh, then we come through our earthly journey.
But while you are on your earthly journey, you came here with amnesia, you can’t remember anything before you were born, so you are now on earth and growing and learning and experiencing life for the first time – but inside of you in an eternal attribute of God, and that eternal attribute is an ear that can hear at the same frequency of the revealed word for your day.
**So we come from the thoughts of God to this body, then we live out our earthly journey. Then we go from a soul expressed in a terrestrial body and we leave these three dimensions of light, matter, and time of our earthly house of this tabernacle, then if we die before the rapture, we go directly to a celestial theophany body in the next dimension only 20 odd feet from where you are now.
Then from there we come back we come back to this earth of 3 dimensions and pick up our earthly bodies of the dust of the earth.
So you’ve had an earthly body, then you had a celestial body, and now you come into a glorified body.
So the real you on the inside (the gene of God part), has three bodies that you pass through before you arrive at your final body.
The first journey you make is a journey from eternity into time in this dimension, but you are going back into Eternity, then coming back into time; and then going back into Eternity – and so you needed these different bodies with these different capabilities for these different parts of the journey.
*This earthly body is for the purpose to be able to suffer light affliction for a moment, it is a testing ground, you could never have been tested in those other bodies.
***And so, God has alloted how much time you will spend in the testing ground stage of your earthly life. He is molding your character here. You are coming from the seed germ of God from His thoughts into the formed image of the Word.
**So these three bodies are inseparably linked together. You needed an earthly body; you needed a celestial body; and you will need a glorified body for this process of God to be completed.
***And so we must realize that your ear to hear the word for your day is the eternal attribute of God that is in you. The Holy Spirit hunted you out for this age and got the word to you, and you recognized that word as eagle food.

You're getting old." See? And there that morning, the quickening Power come, and He let me look over the curtain, and I seen all of you over there. (He saw your theophany body already over there) Uh-huh. See? He said, "All that you ever loved, and all loved you, they're give to you." See? I seen them all over there like that. What was it? Quickening Power.
