BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DID NOT SEE AND BELIEVED

Those who are going to go through the tribulation, of those who have followed the messenger, will know that they are going to go through it. How are they going to resist if they don’t know they are going to go through it? They have to know that they are going to go through it.
Those who are going to go, they also know they are going to go; because they have firmly believed the entire Word. That is the only sign you have.
The only sign you have for knowing if you are or not: is what has been your attitude before the Word. That tells you who you are.
Has your attitude to the truth of the Word when God has revealed Himself been: “I believe it all, even if I don’t understand it!”? That is a good sign! It is like what Peter did: “And to whom shall we go?, if only in You are the words of eternal life.”1
—“I don’t understand a thing about it, but that is the truth; for the prophet said it. What I don’t understand now, I will understand later.”
GOD’S TWINS

So every trace of imperfection is going to disappear. And when one says ‘every trace of imperfection,’ it is every trace of imperfection. So we are very close to that.
That is why we shouldn’t be begging anyone; that is why we don’t beg neither those who are here nor those who are outside. It is a Message for all, and each one receives it, if he wants to receive it; and if he doesn’t want to receive it, he doesn’t receive it.
He who receives it, look, what he is assuring is his transformation, his eternal life, his eternal youth, all those things. He who despises it, look, he is despising all the blessings that God is offering him.
So there is no need to force anyone. Each person is responsible for themselves. So let each person assume his responsibility and don’t say: “I am not going because of So-and-so.” Rather: We are in the activity because of the divine promises that are here in the Scripture, and not because someone forces us to go, or makes us stumble so that we don’t go.
Look, here it is not a matter of looking at other people, but look at yourself; and look at what the Scripture says; and look at the Message, the Great Voice of Trumpet, and walk forward. Help whoever you can help, and he who lets himself be helped. He who will not let himself be helped, then don’t sweat it, but pray for him; and when he needs it, help him; give him of the booklets to read as well; but remember: the responsibility is individual.
And if another stumbles, don’t stumble. You can’t afford to miss the transformation, which is very near. We don’t know if it will be in this generation. I wish it to be in this very generation. So you will take a rest from me, and I will take a rest from you, from this situation of mortal bodies, corruptible bodies, full of so many problems.
And we will pass to another stage all together, to a higher stage than this one we are in; where I will look at you and I will not see a single fault in you. Although I, when I look at you, I see no fault in you, because I look through the Sacrifice that was made on Calvary’s Cross, and I look at you through the Scripture that says that the elect will be gathered with the Great Voice of Trumpet.
THINGS WE MUST KNOW

Now, we can see that the blessing and the curse are in the Program that God is carrying out in each age or dispensation. And a person or a people, a nation, will receive either the blessing or the curse, according to the position assumed, the attitude assumed, before what God is carrying out in that time; and so it is for our time also.
In the fulfillment of the divine promises for our time, there will be the blessing for all the elect of God, and also the judgment and plagues for the kingdom of the gentiles, for the people living on this Earth, who will not assume the right attitude towards the things that God will be carrying out in these days in which we live.
And you and I must understand these things. These are the things we must know.
