Good afternoon saerntHaist Word at this end time.
Every dedication of a temple is a type and figure of
God’s Temple, the Temple of Jesus Christ, which He is
building from stage to stage, from age to age; and it is also a
type and figure of the Temple which is in Heaven.
And now let’s look at the dedication of a temple that
was made, built, without the sound of a hammer being heard.
And now, notice, it was a very special construction because
the sound of a hammer was not heard.
And to tell a group of people to build a temple without
the sound of a hammer being heard, if you tell them that, they
will say: “No, no. You’re looking for some strange
contractors, different from us, so… We use hammers, we use
nails, we use saws, we use all these tools, and they make
plenty of noise.” So they did not have those kinds of
carpenters there.
Carpenters who did not make a sound using hammers
or anything like that: they brought everything ready and put it4 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
together, assembled it together.1
And now, let’s look here at when King Solomon
dedicated that temple…
Remember that a temple without a holy of holies…
These temples that were built among the Hebrew people—it
would not be a temple without a holy of holies because the
holy of holies is where God’s Presence is.
And now, let’s see in chapter 8… First Kings chapter
8, verse 1 and on, it says:
“Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all
the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children
of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might
bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of
David, which is Zion.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto
king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the
seventh month.
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took
up the ark.
And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that
were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the
Levites bring up.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel,
that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark,
sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor
numbered for multitude.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of
the Lord unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the
most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims,” (in
other words, under the wings of the olive wood cherubims
that Solomon had built, which were overlaid with gold; they
1 1 Kings 6:7THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 5
were giant cherubims that were put in the holy of holies, one
on each side, and the ark was put in the center).
“For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over
the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and
the staves thereof above.
And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the
staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and
they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of
stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made
a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of
the land of Egypt.
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of
the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord,
So that the priests could not stand to minister because
of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of
the Lord.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us
to understand It.
Our subject is: “THE DEDICATION OF THE
TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE SON OF DAVID.”
The first dedication of a temple for God was made by
the Prophet Moses: by Divine Order, God showed him the
Divine Pattern. In other words, Moses saw the Temple of
Heaven, and God showed him how to build a temple on Earth
that typified the Temple of Heaven, and God showed him all
those symbols he had to put in that tabernacle, and told him
how to make that tabernacle: what he would use as a roof,
what he would use as walls, what he would use as a floor, and
so forth; and the things that would be in that temple.
And then Moses himself offered the sacrifice of the
bullock or red heifer, and then he also offered the goat
sacrifice. And notice, they brought into the holy of holies—he
brought the blood of the goat into the holy of holies.6 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
Let’s look at Hebrews chapter 9, it tells us… Now,
that is how it was under the first Covenant. Chapter 9, verse
16 and on, says:
“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity
be the death of the testator.
For a testament is of force after men are dead:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated
without blood.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the
people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and
of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God
hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle,
and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things
in the heavens should be purified with these…”
In other words, all those symbols that were there in the
temple, meaning, all the things Moses made there, are none
other than the types and figures of the heavenly things, of the
things of Heaven. That is why the tabernacle Moses built
represents the heavenly Temple and also represents the
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because the Church of the
Lord Jesus Christ is a spiritual Temple. It says:
“It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things
in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly
things themselves with better sacrifices than these.”
Heavenly things would be purged with Blood, but not
with the blood of an animal, but with the precious Blood of
our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 7
And that is why, since the members of the Church of
the Lord Jesus Christ come from Heaven: they come from the
seventh dimension, their souls come from the seventh
dimension, and they go through this Earth where they obtain
a mortal, corruptible and temporary body; and therefore, they
have appeared in a valley of shadow of death, where every
soul of God must hold on to Eternal Life, which is Jesus
Christ, because otherwise he loses his life: he loses Eternal
Life, Eternal Life escapes him.
But just as there was a sacrifice for the firstborn who
were in Egypt, on the occasion where death was going to
come upon all the firstborn in Egypt… There was the
sacrifice of the paschal lamb and the blood applied on the
lintel and doorposts of the Hebrew homes to prevent the death
of the firstborn of the Hebrew people.2
And to prevent the death of the firstborn of the
heavenly Israel, the firstborn of Heaven, the firstborn of the
House of God, the House of Heaven, the Family of
Heaven—to prevent their death, the Blood of the Paschal
Lamb, of Jesus Christ our Savior, has been shed on Earth, and
has been applied on the lintel of the door of our soul, in us as
individuals, so that death doesn’t enter our souls and we can
live eternally.
And in the House of God, which is the Church as a
mystical Body of believers, the Blood of Jesus Christ, the
Lamb of God, has also been applied; there on the Door (and
the Door is Jesus Christ our Savior), there is the Blood that
protects us so that we do not die, so that death cannot reach
us, but so that instead we may remain with Christ; because he
who enters through that Door: “By Me if any man enter in, he
shall be saved,”3 the Lord Jesus Christ says.
He is the Door to the Sheepfold, and the Sheepfold is
2 Exodus 12:1-28
3 John 10:98 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and applied on that Door
is the Blood of Redemption, the Blood that prevents death
from entering into that House; because that House is filled
with Eternal Life, which we are given by Jesus Christ our
Savior. And that is the only safe place: being in the House of
God by entering through the Door, which is Jesus Christ our
Savior; and that is what it means to be in Christ, because
Christ is also His Church.
Just like when a corn of wheat is sown, it sprouts, and
what appears isn’t a corn of wheat: it is a wheat plant; and
that wheat plant is the corn of wheat turned into a wheat plant
to bring forth many grains of wheat. And by Christ dying on
Calvary’s Cross, rising, and ascending to Heaven, now the
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is His mystical Body of
believers, and He is there to reproduce Himself in many
grains of wheat, in many sons and daughters of God.
Since He is the Son of God, His reproduction is what?
Sons and daughters of God.
And now, we can see that this House is God’s Family.
It is not a house of four walls, rather, it is a House made up of
human beings. It is a House, a Family, a Seed: God’s Family,
God’s Seed. Did you know that God has a Seed? He has no
ancestry, but He has a Seed. See? He has no ancestry, because
He was not made by another person; but we are His
descendants.
And now, notice, God’s Seed had to be purged with
the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, of the perfect Sacrifice.
And that is why we find that in the Old Testament, God
reflected in those sacrifices what God would do in the
Coming of the Messiah, in His First Coming, by dying on
Calvary’s Cross, for what? For the purification of all the sons
and daughters of God, all the Seed of God, with His Blood.
And now, notice, our souls come from God; but the
physical, mortal, and corruptible body that we have receivedTHE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 9
on Earth, has been obtained in God’s permissive will; and
also the spirit of the world that we received when we were
born through our parents. And that is why a person needs a
new birth. Therefore, the person’s soul needs to be born
again, where he receives a theophanic body from the sixth
dimension, upon receiving Christ as his Savior, washing away
his sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit;
and thus, the person is purged with the Blood of our beloved
Lord Jesus Christ.
And notice how what Moses did there in the temple,
by sprinkling the blood of the red heifers or the red heifer and
of the goat, by sprinkling the blood on everything that was
there… it says:
“…He took the blood of calves and of goats, with
water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the
book, and all the people,
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God
hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle,
and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things
in the heavens,” (in other words, what typified the heavenly
things were the things in the temple or tabernacle that Moses
built, and even the temple itself), “should be purified with
these; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us…”
For Christ is the High Priest. As the High Priest—not
of the earthly temple, that is why when He died, He did not
present His Blood in the temple that was there in Jerusalem,10 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
rather, He took It to the Holy of Holies of the Temple of God
in Heaven; and there, He presented Himself for us, to
intercede for us, to reconcile us to God.
In other words, the human being is lost without Christ;
the human being cannot live eternally without Christ: he only
lives for a period of time here on Earth and then he will be
judged; and notice what will happen … Let’s read in Saint
John chapter 3…
Every human being must face this Biblical truth, and
whoever does not do so while he is living on Earth will have
to face the consequences later on because he did not face it
while he lived on Earth. Chapter 3 of Saint John, verse 14 and
on says:
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up.”
When Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the
wilderness, on a pole, the people who were bitten by
venomous serpents looked at that brass serpent and were set
free from the effect of the serpents’ venom; they did not die.
The people who did not look, died, why? Because that brass
serpent represents sin already judged and if it was already
judged, well, the person did not have to die for his sin,
therefore, the venom of the serpents that bit people was
canceled out.4
And now, that brass serpent represents Christ being
lifted up on Calvary’s Cross so that every person who looks
to Jesus Christ and receives Him as his Savior—so that the
venom of sin may be taken away, cancelled out, and we can
live eternally; so that we do not die, so that we do not have to
die, but instead, we can live eternally. But the people who did
not look at that brass serpent… back in the Old Testament
had to die (the people who were stung or bitten by those
4 Numbers 21:4-9THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 11
venomous serpents).
And remember that in the garden of Eden, the old
serpent, the serpent bit the human race back then with sin, he
introduced the venom of sin into the human race; and that is
the human being’s cause of the death, both physical death
and spiritual death.
And now, in order for the human being to not die
eternally, but instead be able to live eternally, we must set our
sights, focus our eyes, on Christ: on Jesus Christ crucified,
and receive Him as our Savior, as the Sacrifice for sin, to
cancel out the venom of sin that the serpent introduced there
in the garden of Eden. See? There is no other way out for the
human being.
There are very wise people on Earth, who think that
because of their wisdom and because they have obtained great
degrees or doctorates, or because they’re scientists, they think
they have something important; but they don’t. A person has
something important when he has received Christ as his
Savior. That is the most important thing that you obtain,
because you are receiving Eternal Life, and the venom of sin
that the serpent introduced back in the garden of Eden is
being cancelled out!
But notice, no human being can obtain Eternal Life by
his own wisdom or his own money. No one can cancel out the
venom of sin introduced into the human race back then in the
garden of Eden. Only by looking to Jesus Christ our Savior,
by receiving Him as our Savior, is the venom of sin cancelled
out and death cancelled out; therefore, we will be able to live
eternally with Jesus Christ.
Even if our physical body dies, there is no problem,
Christ has promised in chapter 6 (then we will continue with
chapter 5)… Chapter 6 of Saint John, verses 39 to 40:
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that
of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but12 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
should raise it up again at the last day.”
See? There is a resurrection for all those whom the
Father has given to Jesus, so that they receive salvation. And
now, notice what He says next:
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every
one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day,” (in
other words, He will raise him up in the seventh millennium).
And now, let’s continue reading here in the same
chapter, chapter 3 (which we were previously reading), verse
15. Verse 15 says as follows:
“ …That whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have eternal life.”
The only way to prevent our soul from being lost, is
what? By looking to Jesus Christ and His Sacrifice on
Calvary’s Cross, and receiving Him as our Savior, and
washing away our sins in His Blood, and receiving His Spirit:
and thus, obtaining the new birth; because except a man be
born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven or
Kingdom of God; except a man be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.5
Now, there is no other way out for the human being;
the only way out is: looking to Jesus Christ as our Savior,
receiving Him as our Savior, washing away our sins in His
Blood, and receiving His Holy Spirit.
And a person who has received Him, whether he is a
man or woman, is a wise person; he or she has more wisdom
than any person with the greatest doctorates a human being
can have but who has not received Christ; because he has the
wisdom of Heaven, the wisdom of God, to receive Christ as
his Savior, so that the venom of sin may be cancelled out, and
death and the death sentence may be cancelled out.
5 John 3:3, 3:5THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 13
Now, it goes on to say… Let’s read verse 15 again:
“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn
the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
Now notice what a beautiful passage, which reveals to
us where Eternal Life is and how to cancel out the venom of
death in order to live eternally.
Remember that the believers in Jesus Christ are the
heavenly Israel. As the heavenly Israel, notice, we have been
going through the different stages that the earthly Israel went
through.
And now, the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of
the Lord Jesus Christ, is a spiritual Temple, represented in the
temple Solomon built and the tabernacle Moses built.
And now, we don’t have the temple Solomon built nor
the tabernacle Moses built, but the Scripture tells us in
Zechariah chapter 6, verse 12:
“And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord
of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch;
and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the14 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
temple of the Lord.”
This Man it talks about here is Christ, but He is
represented in Zerubbabel, a descendant of King David. Since
Zerubbabel is a descendant of King David, he is typifying
Christ, the Son of David. And with the restoration of the
Temple that took place back in Jerusalem, he is typifying the
construction of the Temple that Jesus Christ will carry out by
Divine Creation; and that Temple which Jesus Christ will
build is His Church, a spiritual Temple.
And now, we find that the creation of a new race is
coming.
Remember that God created the human being for the
human being to be a temple of God, for God to dwell in the
human being and have fellowship with the human being.
And now, Christ, just as Adam is the first, the head of
the creation that fell (in other words, of that old creation of
the human race), now the second Adam, who is Jesus Christ,
is the Head, the beginning of that new Creation. In Revelation
chapter 3, verse 14, it tells us that Jesus Christ is the
beginning of the Creation of God, and that Creation of God is
the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the head, He is the
beginning of that new race;6 what Christ is creating is a new
race.
That is why what takes place in a person’s life when
he receives Christ as his Savior, and washes away his sins in
His Blood, and receives His Spirit, is a Work of Creation.
And he obtains an eternal and theophanic body, a heavenly
body of the sixth dimension. And the person has then come
into Eternal Life: he then has an eternal body of the sixth
dimension, the soul of that person has then obtained a
theophanic body of the sixth dimension. And soon we will
obtain the eternal and glorified and immortal physical body, a
6 Colossians 1:18THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 15
body just like the Body of Jesus Christ; and we will
physically come into Eternal Life, too. And then we will be
immortal not only in our soul and not only in our theophanic
spirit, but also in our body that we will have, which will be a
glorified body just like the Body of our beloved Lord Jesus
Christ.
There are three kinds of bodies: a physical body, a
heavenly body, and a glorified body, and we will obtain the
glorified body very soon.
And now, since we are members of the mystical Body
of Christ, in other words, of the House of God (the House of
God, the Family of God, the Seed of God), that is the Temple
of God.
And now, that Temple is being built, It is being
created, by our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, by Him coming in
Holy Spirit from stage to stage, and calling and gathering
together His elect in each age, and thus, building each part of
His Church. In each age, He creates that age by calling and
gathering the elect of that age, through the manifestation of
Christ in Holy Spirit through the messenger of each age, and
thus, the spiritual Temple of Christ grows in the construction
that Christ is carrying out.
And we have the Holy Place, which pertains to the
seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church with the seven
angel-messengers. The mystical Body of Christ of the seven
ages along with the seven angel-messengers is represented in
the candlestick, but after the seven stages and the seven
angel-messengers comes the Age of the Cornerstone.
And just as there was a territory where each age was
fulfilled, there is a territory where the Age of the Cornerstone
is fulfilled, which is the Age of the Holy of Holies of that
spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
And the good news for us is that in Latin America and
the Caribbean is where Jesus Christ is creating, building, the16 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple, out of living stones,
out of human beings; and He is the Prince who would build,
who would create that Temple for God.
In First Peter chapter 2, verse 4 and on, it says:
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed
indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house,
an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable
to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and
he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but
unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even
to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light…”
Now look at all that we are before God, and notice
why we have been called by Christ at this end time: to
become part of the House of God, of that spiritual House, of
that heavenly Household, the Family of God, the Seed of
God, which is a spiritual Temple where God in Spirit
manifests Himself.
And that Family, that House, is being created from
stage to stage. And now it’s time for the stage of the creation
of that House—the stage of the Holy of Holies; and the
territory is Latin America and the Caribbean. That is why He
is calling and gathering together His Latin American and
Caribbean elect at this end time, and even if they have goneTHE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 17
to other nations, the Message reaches them all the way over
there.
And when the construction of that House, the creation
of that House, of that heavenly Family, is completed, then
comes the dedication of that House; and Christ, the Prince
descendant of King David, will be the One who will manifest
Himself and dedicate that House to God for a habitation of
God in Holy Spirit in all His fullness. Which Saint Paul also
spoke to us about in his Letter to the Ephesians chapter 2,
verses 19 to 22, where it says:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God.”
Do you know what it means to be a member of the
Household of God? That means being a son or daughter of
God, and that means that if He is King, then we are the
children of a King: the King of kings and Lord of lords, and
therefore, we belong, let’s say… to the Royalty of Heaven, to
the Royalty of Heaven and Earth, and that means that the rule
of the whole universe is in the hands of God and of His
Household.
Young men, when you fall in love with a believer and
get married, you have gotten yourself a princess, a daughter
of the heavenly King, and you, young ladies, have gotten
yourself a prince, a son of the heavenly King. And once we
are in the Millennial Kingdom, we will better understand
what it means to get… for a young man to get a princess, and
for a young lady to get a prince, because we will be kings and
priests in the Millennial Kingdom.
Now, notice, we are members of the Household of
God, of Royalty, we have the Blood of Christ [in us].
They say that royals have blue blood, that’s what they
call it, although blood is always red, but as a saying, they use
that saying. We have the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior,18 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
and therefore, we part are of the heavenly Royalty.
How can we be kings if we do not belong to Royalty?
See? So by belonging to Christ and being born through Christ
in the House of God, in the Family of God, we are
descendants of God, and therefore, heirs of God and jointheirs with Jesus Christ our Savior.7
Therefore, since we are heirs, He has made us kings
and priests. He cleansed us with His precious Blood, He
redeemed us with His Blood, and He has made us unto our
God kings and priests.8 And in the Millennial Kingdom, we
will be ruling, reigning with Him; and in the Millennial
Kingdom, the kingdoms of this world will become of our
beloved Lord Jesus Christ,9 and of His people, because the
Kingdom will be given to the people of the saints,10 and the
Church is the people of the saints.
Now, let’s continue reading here, it says:
“...And of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building…”
See? It is a building, but a human building, a building
made up of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ.
“In whom all the building fitly framed together
groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord,” (that is a spiritual
Temple),
“In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit,” (for God to dwell in us
in Holy Spirit in all His fullness).
With the new birth, upon receiving Christ as our
Savior, washing away our sins in His Blood, and receiving
7 Romans 8:17
8 Revelation 1:5-6, 5:9-10
9 Revelation 11:15
10 Daniel 7:27THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE... 19
His Spirit: we receive the firstfruits of the Spirit; and in
addition, at the Last Day we will receive the fullness of the
Spirit, when we are changed.
And then we will have the double portion: the
firstfruits, which is the theophanic body, and then the
physical body, and thus, we will have a theophanic body from
the sixth dimension and an eternal and glorified physical
body, just like the Body of Jesus Christ; and thus, we will be
in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ,
and then we will see Him in His glorified Body.
And thus, the spiritual Temple of Christ will be
dedicated. And just as He came to the tabernacle Moses built,
and the house was filled with the Presence of God; and just as
Solomon dedicated the temple to God, and the house was
filled with the cloud, with the Presence of God, likewise, the
fullness of God will come into the Church of Jesus Christ, and
we will have an adopted Church, with Her children in eternal
bodies, where there will be the manifestation of God in all His
fullness.
And now, at the Last Day, Christ will dedicate to God
that House, which is His Church, for God to dwell in Holy
Spirit, in all His fullness, both in the Messenger of the Last
Day and in all the elect of the Last Day, and also in the
messengers of the different ages and also in the members of
the Church of the different ages. And thus, there will be a
spiritual Temple, the Church, filled with the fullness of God,
in eternal bodies. That is God’s Temple, God’s Tabernacle, in
which God will dwell in all His fullness.
The dedication of the tabernacle Moses built, the
dedication of the temple Solomon built, and every dedication
of a temple, points to the dedication of the spiritual Temple of
Christ, which will soon be dedicated to God to dwell in Holy
Spirit in all His fullness.
But Christ is still building that Temple, and He is20 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
already at the Holy of Holies, and when the very last elect of
God comes into the Holy of Holies, into that part of the
spiritual Temple (which is the Age of the Cornerstone), then
the construction will be complete and It will be dedicated to
God so that God may dwell in all His fullness. And God will
manifest Himself in all His fullness in His Church: we will all
have an eternal and glorified body.
Now we have seen what the dedication of a temple to
God means. But these earthly temples are a type and figure, in
other words, it represents what God is going to do and that
dedication.
May this place be a blessing to all the sons and
daughters of God. And here, may God speak directly to the
soul of every human being who is within the reach of the
Word that comes out of this place. And may God continue
adding more and more people to His mystical Body, and
continue bringing more and more people to this place to serve
God and hear His Word. In the Eternal Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved
friends and brethren here present, hearing our subject: “THE
DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE BY SOLOMON, THE
SON OF DAVID.”
And now, the Son of David, Christ, is the One who
will dedicate the new Temple, which is His Church.
