The Death of a Testator Pt.2

Duration:1 hr 29 mins 51 secs

The Death of a Testator Pt.2

HEBREWS 9:11-17

     11   But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

     12   Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

(With the blood of goats and calves, the high priest would have to enter into the holy place every year, but the blood of Christ was the perfect blood sacrifice of what all those temporary animal blood sacrifices represented - they were all pointing to this one great perfect sacrifice that was coming that was able to obtained eternal redemption for us once and for all.)

     13   For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

     14   How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (You don’t have to live with the burden of a conscience that is always worried about not being forgiven of sin, and that you having to do some work or ritual in order to be accepted by God, because the Just shall live by their faith in the finished work of Christ)

     15     ¶ And for this cause he (Christ) is the mediator of the new testament, (the new will of the testament of the testator) that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

     16   For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

   17   For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

The beneficiaries of the will have no legal rights to the possession of the benefits of the will until after the death of the Testator.

The Death of a Testator Pt.2

To background a little from last week…

A “Testator” is a person who creates a will - or a person who has died leaving a will.

*When we speak of the Old and New Testament – this word “Testament” is to do with a person's will – like how we would say "This is so and so’s last will and testament."

**The message of the hour teaches us that when Adam (as the head of the human race) lost the title deed of the ownership of the earth, that he lost it on behalf of the entire human race of all his downline of his future sons and daughters and their sons and daughters.  

*And that when he lost this title deed (which was the legal proof of his possession of it), then he lost three things – He lost Fellowship with God, Eternal life, and dominion over the earth.

*But by the obedience of the second Adam (Christ) of His sacrifice and death, we who are called are to receive back this eternal inheritance of everything that Adam lost, to have it literally restored back to us again – and that was also what the law of the year of jubilee was all about.

**So Paul is showing us that by the death of Christ, we have been legally given back (by the testament of Christ) an inheritance of everything of what the first Adam had lost.

**But yet for 2000 years since the death of the testator, we have not yet seen the manifestation of this inheritance of what Adam lost restored back to man again, even though the price has been paid in full by the second Adam (Christ).

**And so this is what Revelation chapter 5 was all about, because for 2000 year Christ has been busy doing his mediatorial work of interceding for the sins of ignorance for the people of 7 church ages right up until this last age.

*For seven church ages He has been waiting for all the names of all of His children of whose names were written in the deed of the will to be born into the earth and be manifested in their age and to live out their part of the word under their messenger.

**But then there must come a time at the end of the seven church ages when after all the names that were written in the deed are manifested on earth, and then He can take the title deed and give it to his seventh angel to reveal all the names of all the beneficiaries of that deed from Paul’s age right down to this last age, because these names have to be revealed first in order to be able to give the inheritance back of everything that Adam lost.

HEBREWS 9: 28

     28   So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time (referring to Christ’s second coming) without sin unto salvation.

This word “Salvation” here is referring to a future salvation = of the benefits and blessings of redemption from all earthly ills.

*On the day of Atonement, the first time the priest goes in to the holiest of holy’s was for his own personal acceptance by God as a high priest, and then he will come out the first time and then go in again a second time with blood for the acceptance of the forgiveness of the sins of the people – we read this in HEBREWS 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

*So 2000 years ago, Christ’s first appearing on the great resurrection morning was the evidence that He was accepted by God, but then according to the Old Testament type, He had to go back the second time into the presence of God for 2000 years as our high priest to intercede on behalf of the sins of the people.

*But when He appears the second time from the Holy Place, and we have seen this appearing in this day – the whited wigged one has appeared to us. “Who is THIS Melchizedek.” “There is a Man here NOW who can Turn on the Light.”

*All these sermons that we have heard over the years is revealing to us the appearing of Christ in these last days – and because we have seen Him appear the second time, we know that He is here as the judge of all the earth to enforce the claim of the deed and to see that the living decedents of whose names are written in the deed of the testament receive their full inheritance .

***So then we know that this second appearing of Christ comes with great expectations attached to it in that now the full blessing of the covenant of the testament of the will of the testator can now come into its full legal and literal effect for the people of the living decedents.

***But the first thing that needs to happen, is to clearly identify who those living decedents are of whose names are written in the will of the testament – like how that estate lawyers must find the lost relatives and identify them before they can receive the full blessing of the last will and testament.

**So there must of necessity commence this work of the establishment of the identity of those who are the legal beneficiaries. Their names must first be revealed before the benefit of inheritance of the will of the Testator can be literally made available to them – and so this is what the seventh sealed book of redemption was all about.

**So when this seventh sealed book is revealed through the ministry of the seventh angel, then the names of the beneficiaries are revealed at that time by the opening of this book, because all the names of all the beneficiaries of seven church ages as well as the names of the living descendants of who are alive in this last age were all written in the book of the title deed of the last will and testament of the testator.

***And so how can we be sure that our name is written in the deed? Because if we can be sure that our names are written in the deed, then we can rejoice and have confidence in the restoration of the inheritance that is legally ours.

We can be just as happy as if we are already in possession of it.

**We have recently spoken of how that you have to see a portion of your life in the story of Ruth, and a portion of your life in the story of Esther.” And a portion of your life in the story of Abraham and Sarah, and in the story of Rahab, and in all the characters of the bible of whose lives were a mystery of a people in this end time age, because in the volume of the bible it is not just written of Him (Christ), but it is also written of Her (the end time Bride of Christ).

**So in the different seasons of your life, God will write those parts of these stories of the word into the story of your life also, so that you will somewhere in the events of your life reflect those parts – and that is the mystery of the word revealing the mystery of your own life story – this is the way that God has written your name in the book. It is story of your life in this age matching the pattern of the lives of what has been written in the word so that the two halves of the Chinese laundry tickets coming together will prove who you really are.

**That’s what proved who Jesus was, because just like Joseph was sold for pieces of silver - Jesus had to have something in His life of where He would be sold for silver.

*Then Joseph was rejected by His brothers – so then Jesus had to have some place in His life that He was rejected by His brothers.

*When Joseph dealt with the butler and the baker - Jesus had to have some place in His life of when that same event was lived out in his own experience.

*When Joseph went to the right hand of Pharaoh - Jesus also ascended to the right hand of God.    

**That is why you will see that with Brother Branham’s first and second pull, Moses also had a first and second pull, and Jesus’ ministry also had a first and second pull.

In all their ministries we see that the signs attracting the attention of the people, but then after them followed all the impersonators that copied those things and confused the people.

*So we see how that Brother Branham had all of those things in his own experiences of what Moses and Jesus had.  

**And so the same thing applies for us in the part that we are called be to in this day.

***If we are a part of the word manifested for this hour – then we are to also watch the experiences that God puts in our lives to see how they match with the pattern of what is prophesied for the bride of this hour – and that is what the message teaches us of how we are to see our name written in the book in mystery form.

**And when you see your name written in the book in this form, then you know that you are a beneficiary of the inheritance of what is written in the testament of the testator – that is the proof that you are a living decedent.

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M

473-4 {115}   The Book doesn't say, "Now, Lee Vayle is to be saved in time of this church age," or--or, "Orman Neville..." or--or whoever. No, it don't say that. It just shows the mystery, unfolds the mystery of what the thing is. But we, ourselves, by faith believe it.

LUKE 22:28-30

     28   Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

     29   And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

     30   That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Those who stand with Christ in His rejection (like David’s Gentile warriors stood with David in his exile before he became king), will be the same ones who will reign with him in the new kingdom.

*Davids’s gentile warriors were the ones who became the beneficiaries because of their stand with David in his rejection, and David is a type of Christ in this hour – so this is showing us something of the characteristics of the living descendants in this day, of identifying those who will reign with Christ in the millennium by how they stand with Christ in His rejection in this time of his exile.

WHY.LITTLE.BETHLEHEM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-9 N-9 SATURDAY_ 63-1214

134   …Notice, O warrior sons, you man here that claim to be son! Did you know what David represented? David represented Christ, He was, Christ was the Son of David. Now listen, in closing. Those Gentile warriors, many of them, notice they come from everywhere, but they knowed that that fugitive was anointed. They knew David was rejected by his own people, but they knowed the anointing was on him. They could see it. So they stood right by his side, die or live! They were gallant man, no matter how much the outside world didn't believe it.

135   His own people kicked him out. They didn't want nothing to do with him. Saul run him out, the head of the denomination kicked him out, and have nothing to do with it, the council kicked him out, and he become a fugitive. They had to go to wherever he could. There he was up in the mountains, but there was a little group of men, of Gentiles and so forth, made up, that they looked at that man and they knowed he was coming king.

136     So is it today with real gallant soldiers of faith of that Word, who knows that Word promises that Jesus Christ will return. We ain't interested in millions of dollars of this and millions of dollars of that. I'm interested in the return of Christ Jesus. O warrior sons of God, what's the matter with you, how do you stand today? When we see that the Bible predicts that He's a fugitive today, turned out of His church, turned out of the organizations.

***The correct identification must be made of the living decedents of the will of the testator of those who are living in this day - of whose names have been previously written into the will of the covenant of the word in mystery form. **These are the tests and proofs that the judge must identify the living decedents by before he is able to enforce the benefits of the will.

MATTHEW 13:47-48

     47   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

     48   Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

*So this is what has been going on in the message for many years now, in that the people of the message are being tested during the time of Christ’s rejection.

*This is the identification process of the living descendants, because only the living descendants of the true lineage of Christ will have it in their spiritual DNA the ability to stay with and to suffer with Christ under the conditions of His exile in this age of when He has been rejected by the world.

***So the testator died at Calvary, but now at His second coming – He has come as the judge who will enforce the will of what he died for, but first He must establish the identity of those who are the legal beneficiaries.

**So this is what has been taking place over the years of us all being in the ranks of the message of the hour.

ADOPTION.2_ JEFF.IN AD.2 WEDNESDAY_ 60-0518

42   …Now, that, that's where it's at. See? This Word tells it here, and He's hid it. And these mysteries has been hid now, remember, the Bible said, "Since the foundation of the world, waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God," to display them to the church. Oh, my. You get it?

ADOPTION.3_ JEFF.IN AD.3 SUNDAY_ 60-0522M

215   …But this is the day of the manifestation of the sons of God, when the mysteries that been hid since the foundation of the world is to be made known. This is the hour. Sure.

**A part of the ministry of the manifestation of a son of God in these last days is to receive the mystery of the word of what has been hidden – this is another test of identification.

Three things that identify you as a living decedent whose name is written in the deed:

1. Your life matches the pattern of the word for this day

2. You stand with Christ in His rejection of this day.

3. You are able to receive the truths of the mysteries revealed by the 7th angel’s message of this day.

THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125

303     God had to open up those Seven Seals, not in a denomination. I've always been against it. But, out of denomination, He might take a Bride, not a denominational bride. He couldn't do it. It's against His Own Word. He opened those seven mysteries in there. That shows forth, brings forth those things that's been hid since the foundation of the world, might be revealed in the last days, to sons of God.

***The sons of God are the heirs and beneficiaries of the will of the testator, and these heirs are identified by the test of them being able to receive the mysteries of what God would release in the last days.

We want to see how that the revelation of this title deed progressed in the message right up to the time of the opening of the seven seals.

THE.RESTORATION.OF.THE.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422

15-1   "To restore" means "to bring back, or to restore; a--a claim can be enforced." Now, to bring anything back to its rightful owner, where it belongs... Therefore, some way it went away from its rightful owner, and can wander around anywhere. But to restore is to bring it back to who really owns it, or to bring it back to its natural estate, where it was at the first time--bring it back into its natural condition. And in order to do this we have a right to enforce (if there's a law), to enforce this rightful condition of restoration--to restore.

REVELATION.CHAPTER.FIVE.1_ JEFF.IN ROJC 717-746 SUNDAY_ 61-0611

123   Now, notice. What did we lose? Well, it was given to Adam to have Eternal Life, as long as he eat from the trees he had Eternal Life. And we notice again that Adam was the... He--he inherit the earth. He was the--like a--an amateur god over the earth. The earth was his. Everything was given unto his hand; he could do with it whatever he wanted to. He named it, and called it, and done whatever he wanted to. He was truly a son of God.

Now, in the fall Adam forfeited the title deed to that. He forfeited it to Satan. Satan took the title deed. Adam was very slothful, and he did not redeem his right for he could not redeem his right. But Satan, which does not rightfully own it, but he possesses that, he is the god of this earth. The Bible said so. He possesses that. Not because that he--that he--he really rightfully gets it, but he possesses it. Now, do you get it? Satan possesses that; he holds it into his hand. Death is in his hand; the earth is in his hand; the world belongs to him; every nation belongs to him; he governs and controls the whole world and everything in the world. Satan does. (Remember that Satan is only a squatter on the land that Adam had once owned – and so Satan only owns it in that he has temporal dominion over it, but his dominion is illegal and is only for a season)

…And Adam forfeited the title deed to it, to this, all this stuff that we own, Eternal Life and the inheriting of the earth. Jesus said in Matthew 5, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." See? Now, we don't have it now.

And, look, it wasn't to Adam or any of his seed. Adam's seed absolutely lost everything too. It's not the seed of Adam. No matter how much we try to beautify this world, and how much we try to make big fine homes and things, it still doesn't belong to Adam's seed. No, sir. It did not go to Adam's seed, no, sir, because Satan took it lock, stock, and barrel. Right. For Adam forfeited it.

REVELATION.CHAPTER.FIVE.2_ JEFF.IN ROJC 747-793 SUNDAY_ 61-0618

161   Now, our Kinsman is handed the seven sealed Book of redemption from the original Owner, the original--the original Owner... When we lost it at the garden of Eden, through Adam, it went back to the original Owner. But there's been a poacher on the land, a squatter; that's Satan. He come over; he's a poacher. This earth don't belong to him; it belongs to God. But he's a poacher, a squatter. Man, I could say something right now, but I better not.

It is the title deed of our redemption, this seven-sealed Book. It's the title deed. You wait till we get into those seals.

He breaks the seals, reveals, gives us His inheritance to His people. He gives the inheritance that He inherited by becoming Kinsman Redeemer, and freely gives it out to us. It all belonged to Him. He was the One Who redeemed. But instead of keeping it Hisself, He gives it back to the people. That's His love for us. Oh.

Satan, the possessor of it now, the squatter, he's finally... He don't want to give it up right quick; we find out here in a little later on in the Scriptures, I'm thinking over here in another chapter. And he didn't want to give it up right away, but he had to fight over it. But finally, when he was brought to a showdown, he was cast into the lake of fire. That's right.

GABRIEL'S.INSTRUCTIONS.TO.DANIEL_ JEFF.IN DA 1-44 SUNDAY_ 61-0730M

56   Now, we find that He was our Kinsman Redeemer, and He took the Book out of the hand of the original Owner. It is a title deed to redemption. We found that. You remember the study? It's a title deed of redemption. It's an abstract deed with it, that God required life for death in the garden of Eden; then Jesus the righteous One died and took a title deed, and was able to break the Seals, reveal what was in them, and give the inheritance that belonged to Him to His people. Eternal Life that He inherited by doing that, He passed His own Life back out at Calvary, and divided it among us by the Holy Ghost.

THE.BREACH.BETWEEN.THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES.AND.THE.SEVEN.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317E

86-4 {117}   Waiting for redemption claims... Its redemption... What is this Book of Redemption, this title deed, abstract title deed?

…Its redemption means all legal possession to all that was lost by Adam and Eve... Oh, my, what ought that to do to a borned again Christian. Its legal possession to the abstract deed, title deed of Eternal Life means that you possess everything that Adam and Eve lost. Whew. What of it, brethren? The possession of that deed...

THE.BREACH.BETWEEN.THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES.AND.THE.SEVEN.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317E

103-4 {244}   Now, He has the Title Deed to redemption. He has it in His hand; mediation is done now. He has it in His hand. Remember, it's been in the hand of God all the time, but now it's in the hand of the Lamb.

Now, watch, the Title Deed of Redemption of all creation is in His hand, and He's come to claim it back to--for the human race, not claim it back to Angels; claim it back to the human which it was given for to make sons and daughters of God again, bring them back to a garden of Eden, everything they lost: the whole creation, the trees, the animal life, everything else. Oh, my. Don't that make you feel good?

THE.BREACH.BETWEEN.THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES.AND.THE.SEVEN.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317E

111-2 {299}   Talk about a jubilee, talk about a time when that Lamb walked forth... See, the Book's even sealed in heaven, the mysteries are. Say, "Is my name there?" I don't know; I hope it is. But if it is, it was put on the Book before the foundation of the world. But the first thing that represented that redemption, come the Lamb that had been slain from the foundation of the world. And He took the Book (Glory.) opened the Book, and tore off the Seals, and sent it down to the earth to His seventh angel to reveal it to His people.

***This is the work that has been going on all these years of us being in the message of the hour – it has been the work of the revealing of the identity of the names of the beneficiaries of the will.

**And once all those names that were written in the will have all be identified – then the Judge of all the earth will enforce the will to see that the inheritance is given (of what is stated in the testament) to all the beneficiaries of the names of all those who are written in the will of the testament.
