This is the vision God gave me for the ministry in February 2006, word for word:

 

    "Jorge, you are not meant to be in that perishable body forever, I want you to die to self and to teach people this salvation."

 

At first, I thought nothing of it because I was taught salvation as a young Christian just like everyone else, which entailed the salvation of the human spirit through faith in Jesus Christ so that we can enter heaven upon the death of the physical body. This is what every Christian was proclaiming when I became a Christian at age 45, but after close examination, I realized that "this salvation" God wants me to teach includes the salvation of the body. Sometime later the scripture Philippians 3:20-21 came to my attention which indicates that God is interested in changing our vile physical bodies into spiritual or glorious bodies that will be impregnable by death. I guess this is similar to the doctrine of the rapture or of our getting caught up in heaven. Having said this, I believe that the second appearance of Jesus Christ is going to happen in our generation or the next, otherwise, why would God tell me to teach this salvation which requires the transformation of our physical bodies into glorious bodies now?

 

In short, what I was taught in church about the rapture is that God will rapture or snatch our physical bodies and place them somewhere else, such as on another planet or in the clouds, then destroy heaven and earth, including the celestial bodies, rebuild them, and finally bring us back to the new heaven and earth. Why would God destroy the entire Universe because of one planet? How do we sit in the clouds with a physical body? If He destroyed the heavens, the Earth, and celestial bodies, where will we go as there are no planets and no clouds? Makes no sense!

 

I realized that the creation of a new heaven and earth has nothing to do with the annihilation of everything and then rebuilding them, but that it has more to do with removing the wicked and the transformation of people from vile bodies into spiritual bodies where righteousness truly dwells within us and our environment.

 

The truth is that clouds in scripture represent the power of heaven and thus we will be with the Lord here on Earth because heaven is ubiquitous throughout the Universe. In other words, we can step into heaven right here on Earth but only in a glorious body because flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. We are going nowhere, we are staying here though in a heavenly atmosphere when Jesus appears. Ultimately, humans must rule on the physical earth otherwise the creature (earth and everything in it) would not be groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. We can therefore say that the futility that heaven and earth are currently experiencing will be eventually removed. That does not mean that we cannot live in righteousness in the current physical Heaven and Earth even before our spiritual or glorious bodies are manifest. Understanding all this makes me realize that many people will not die a physical death which is in opposition to what I was taught regarding the certain death for everyone as per Hebrews 9:27. It is true that everyone dies, but there comes a time when not all will die, that is why Paul says that His secret is that not all will die but be changed, where the dead will be incorruptible and the living will be immortal.

 

Like most people, I am not waiting for a revival though I believe in them, but they come and go, however, I am waiting for a transformation of my body. God did not create mankind to die but to live where restoration/transformation is an ongoing process until the sons of God are manifest. Everyone is waiting for Jesus to come and sort everything out, but Jesus is also waiting for a chaste church for His arrival. We therefore continue the wait because no one is prepared to change heart to follow God's ways 100%. Finally, when Jesus does come, our bodies will be transformed and we will say, Oh death! Where is your sting".
