Greetings to all, much loved, this is Milton Alonso Granados transmitting for the Eternal Gospel of the Beginning and End of the Ages based in Dallas, North Carolina, United States and for the University School of the Eternal Gospel767.

Today's topic has to do with the sacrament.

When we talk about holy communion, we are talking about something very important, because Holy Communion for the believer involves life, involves death, envelops salvation, envelops condemnation, envelops health, and involves disease.

So, it is a very, very important topic, I invite you not to miss all the following chapters because today is only part 1, the mystery of the revealed sacrament, part number 1.

When we talk about holy communion, we are talking, as I said before, about salvation and condemnation, for the believer of the sacrament born in Jesus.

Jesus said in John 6:54. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will resurrect him on the last day.

So, eating the flesh and drinking the blood becomes something very important because it is a command, it is a teaching, it is an ordinance, the one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, I will resurrect him, that is, the one who eats the flesh and drinks of the blood has a part with Jesus, and the one who does not eat his flesh and blood; it has no part with Jesus or with the plan of salvation.

John 6:51 Jesus says and the bread I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

I remember that when in my beginnings of Christianity, when they gave me the sacrament, I always, while taking bread, reminded me of that passage of Isaiah that says more the wounded was for our rebellions, crushed by our sins.

And I said, Lord, just as I am grinding, just as I am eating this little piece of bread, so you were ground into the wood for me.

So, of course, when we speak of the sacrament, there is a very deep feeling for the ordinance given by Jesus, in Luke chapter 22, verse 19, it says: And he took the bread and gave thanks, and broke it and gave it to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you; do this in memory of me.

This is a basic passage, fundamental for the Church and also for every minister, because from there we receive the teaching and the ordinance of doing this practice in memory of Jesus, as he said to his disciples; And he took the bread and gave thanks, and he broke it and gave it to them saying, this is my body, that for you it is given to do this in memory of me, then not to do it within the congregation is to have no memory of the work done by Jesus for the salvation of all mankind.

These are the origins of what the sacrament is in Christianity and how we are taught from the teaching of what Jesus said.

St. Luke, chapter 22, verse 20, says in the same way, after he had had supper, he took the Cup saying, this Cup is the new covenant in my blood that is shed for you, interesting as Jesus takes the Cup and tells his disciples, this Cup is the New Covenant made in my blood that is shed for you.

What important value does the Cup have then, and what value is what is bread so important? Because his flesh is bread and because his blood is the Cup, it is the new covenant, it is to have communion and relationship with salvation, with the plan, with the design, with the eternal purpose of God.

Let's look at what the origin of the sacrament is, because it is very important when we talk about the sacrament.

As I said before, we start from what Jesus said, the believer starts from the command and the ordinance said by Jesus to do this in memory of him, but many times we do not know what the origin of the old covenant is and how it is that the sacrament originated in the people of Israel.

Let's go then to the origin of the holy sacrament or Jewish Passover, the Jewish Passover is a rite, it is a teaching, it is an ordinance that was established through Moses.

This teaching originates in the month of the months, and it is very important to understand this because the Passover originates in the departure of the people of Israel from Egypt.

And it also has a very important relationship with what the new moon is, but we are not going to look at it in this election.

Then, in the month of months, back between March and April, the rite was established. It was a rite that was done once a year practiced by the people of Israel, according to the instructions given by Moses between March and April, in Exodus chapter 12 verse 2 says: this month will be the beginning of the months for you. This will be the first in the months of the year, that is, for the Jews, March and April is what it is for us is January, it is the beginning of the year, it was the month of the months, the most important month, because it was the month of the departure from Egypt.

And it was then in that month that a rite was established that was to be practiced once a year.

The Rite of The Sacrament, in Exodus, chapter 12 verse 21 we read. And Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them to take out and take lambs for our families and sacrifice the Passover.

Then, for each family a lamb was taken and the Passover was sacrificed; also when a family was poor or did not have, then it was invited to participate in the Passover or the Supper, because the Passover also had to do with brotherhood, with unity, with communion, with love, with mercy, in exodus chapter 12 verses 5 we read, the animal will be without defect, you will take it from the sheep or goats, then, already from that time the instruction was given that that lamb, that sheep, that goat, had to be perfect and without defect and would then be taken one per family and would be celebrated in the month of the months, between March and April.

We are talking here then about what is the basis or principles of the sacrament, according to Judaism.

We have seen how for Christianity the sacrament originates in the words of Jesus who says my flesh is the bread, and my blood is the Cup, and he who eats neither flesh nor flesh and drinks my blood, I will resurrect him on the last day.

Exodus Chapter 12, verse 6 and you will keep it until the 14th day of the month, and the whole congregation of the people of Israel will blow it up between the two evenings; as I said, this has to do with the full moon, because Israel rises on a new moon, on a full moon and that lamb had to be immolated, sacrificed between 2 afternoons.

There were several reasons for this, because when someone looked at the full moon of the sky he had to go to the elders. He had to bring two witnesses and then a campfire was lit, and all the peoples were lighting a campfire until it was known throughout Israel and that was not a matter of an hour.

It took time, right? So, there are reasons why this lamb was slaughtered between 2 afternoons. As most of Israel's holidays also lasted a week, because there were reasons, there was a background to this, this was a practice exclusive to Israel and was celebrated for 7 days.

So, this supper or this Passover was not a matter of an afternoon or a Sunday, it was a matter of once a year and was practiced for 7 continuous days. It's important to understand this, right? Because in order to know what we do, it is important to know where it comes from and what the roots are.

In exodus. Chapter 12 verse, 45 says: the stranger and the laborer will not eat of it. verse 48, but no uncircumcised will eat of it, that is, that no one who was not a Jew, or an Israelite could participate in this rite or this supper, for anyone to participate if he were not a Jew he had to accept the Covenant of the law upon himself, and he had to commit himself to fulfill all the commandments of the law as if they were Jews.

So, participating in this covenant involves accepting the covenant made by Israel at Sinai through Moses, and complying with all the standards and all the statutes to the letter.

This is what everyone who was not a Jew was to do, because this was an exclusive covenant between God and the people of Israel. Then Exodus 12:45 tells us, the stranger and the laborer will not eat of it, but no uncircumcised will eat of it; he who wanted to participate was to be circumcised, he was to receive the law about himself, and he was to fulfill the law in its entirety.

Exodus 12:15. Seven days you will eat unleavened bread, as we said before, then, this was a practice for the people of Israel that was carried out for 7 days.

Birth of the practice of the four cups. Perhaps, you do not know or have heard that four glasses are used inside the dinner.

It is very important to understand this because, as I said before, there are practices of Christianity that have roots in Judaism but are an adaptation.

When I say an adaptation, I say that it is not celebrated for 7 days. Nor are they celebrated with four cups. Nor is the person circumcised. Nor does a person have to be observing the new moon or the full moon; as was required, within the people of Israel to make the feast, according to the commandments given by God to the people of Israel.

So, today elements are used, but they have been adapted to a new way or a new habit of doing things.

Exodus chapter 6 verse 6, therefore, you will say, to the children of Israel, I will bring you out from under the heavy tasks. And I will deliver you from servitude and redeem you and take you for my people.

The four cups originate in these Four Verbs, that is, they originate in taking out, delivering, redeeming and taking for each of these actions that God did with the people of Israel.

The people celebrated, celebrated that God had taken them out of heavy tasks, they celebrated that God had delivered them from servitude, that God had redeemed them, and they also celebrated that God had taken them as His people.

For each of these verbs or actions that God did for the people of Israel, the people celebrated the Supper with four cups, one for taking them out, one for freeing them, another for redeeming them and another for taking them as their people, but let's look here at the third Cup because it is very important.

So now to look at this practice according to the new covenant, according to what happened in Jesus' time in Luke, chapter 22, verse 20, says: After he had had supper

he took the cup. Cup comes from the Greek Potérion, saying: this Cup is the New Covenant in my blood that is shed for you, this Cup, this Potérion is the New Covenant in my blood that is shed for you.

This was the third Cup, because Jesus did not finish the Supper, Jesus took until the third Cup and blessed; after he had taken the food, he then pronounced and said, this Cup, this is the covenant in my blood that will be shed for you because it had not yet been shed.

· The fourth Cup.

St. Luke, chapter 22, verse 42. Saying father, if you want to pass from me this Cup, pass from me this Potérion, but not my will, but yours.

Jesus, being in the garden, Jesus says, Father, if it is possible, if there is another way, if there is another way it passes from me, there is Cup, the last Cup, but not my will, but yours.

Jesus knew which Cup he should participate in, it was the last Cup, it was the consummation, it was the conclusion of the supper, it was of sacrifice, and it was the shedding of blood.

That was the last Cup that Jesus was to partake of in Mark chapter 10, verse 38, we read. Then Jesus said to them, you do not know what you are asking for, can you drink from the vessel of the Potérion that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?

They said (James and John), they were the ones who were asking Jesus to be seated on one side and the other when the Kingdom was manifested, and to them Jesus says, you don't know what you are asking for.

Can you drink from the glass I drink, be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized?

Remember then, beloved, the importance and value of baptism, the importance and value of the Cup, the importance and value of the consummation of the Supper, yes, John did not want to baptize Jesus, because John says, I must be baptized by you and as you come to me, but Jesus says, "Leave now because it is so convenient." So, it has to be done, there has to be a fulfillment, but it was known that there was a baptism that was not the baptism of John.

There was a baptism that was the litmus test, it was the great baptism. It was the conclusion, the consummation of the Cup and the Supper in which he was to participate; Then he says to his disciples, can you drink from the glass I drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized? Then the disciples answer and say: We can, Jesus told them to the truth of the vessel, of the Potérion, of the Cup, of the vessel that I drink, you must. And with the baptism with which I am baptized you will be baptized.

The disciples had already been baptized in waters by John, but they had not participated in this baptism of the great baptism, of the consummation, of the fulfillment.

Remember what Jesus said, this Cup is the new covenant for my blood that will be shed for you, so to participate in baptism means that we are participants in the New Covenant, in the inheritance, in the consummation of Jesus' work.

· The consummation or end of the Lord's Supper.

St. John, chapter 19, verse 28. He says: after this, knowing that everything was already finished, he said, so that the scripture would be fulfilled, I thirst.

Yes, Jesus already knew that everything had been consummated, but he was going to the letter and he knew that in order for all the prophecy to be fulfilled, he had to pronounce the words I thirst, and of course he was thirsting and that thirst was given a vinegar, and that vinegar was a mixture of wine with salt water from the sea, that was used so that it had a duration, so that it did not spoil, so that it would not be damaged. That's how they did it then they didn't just give him water, they gave himvinegar.

But all this happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled. St. John, chapter 19, verse 29, says, and there was a vessel full of vinegar. Then they soaked a sponge in vinegar and put it on a swab, they brought it to their mouths. When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, it is finished and having bowed his head he gave up the spirit.

Here we are talking then about the consummation, we are talking about the fourth Cup, we are talking about the fulfillment of all things and the fulfillment of scripture; for this he did so that the scripture would be fulfilled; even to say, I thirst, it was part of the prophetic fulfillment.

We return again then to Luke, chapter 22, verse 20, which says, this Potérion Cup is the new covenant in my blood that is shed for you.

When we talk about the Cup we talk about blood. When we talk about the blood we are talking about the covenant, the new covenant and it is important to understand here that Jesus does not use the Hebrew word berit which means covenant. Nor does it use the Greek word suntheke which means covenant. In fact, none of these words appear in the New Testament.

So, what we read as covenant is a word that comes from the Greek diadséke which means disposition and inheritance.

When Jesus says this Cup is the new covenant, Jesus, what he is saying is: this Cup is the disposition, it is the inheritance of each one of you that you receive because of what I will have to consummate and do in the sacrifice, in the sacrament.

So, with that Cup that Jesus raised when He celebrated the supper, I was saying to them, this Cup is the new inheritance, it is the new consummation in my blood that is shed for each one of you.

The word covenant comes from the Hebrew berit, and berit is a word that originates from an ancient language that was spoken more than 4000 years ago, Akkadian, in Akkadian or Akkadian is this Semitic language. That is, it was spoken in those times of Abraham, in this Semitic language, currently extinct, and originated in Mesopotamia, there in Chaldea, in all these lands.

The root of berit then comes from the Acadian language, it is as if it were four roots or four branches, it is barah, birit, baru, biritu,and it is important then to understand what covenant means, because Jesus says that this Cup is the New Covenant, but let us remember then again that Jesus does not use this Hebrew word(barah, birit, baru, biritu)which means covenant, alliance and which comes from the Acadian. That's where the Hebrew word Covenant is taken.

And what does Covenant mean? according to the Old Testament, Old Covenant or the Acadian, bara means to eat, so: how this thing is related to eating, right? eating the sacrament, barah means to eat, birit means an agreement between two parties. Baru means an obligation and biritu means to tie up or chain, the people of Israel had taken through dinner, through eating an agreement between two parties, an obligation and were tied, chained, to an alliance.

The one who had delivered them from Egypt had given them a series of Commandments that they were to keep, and not only they, but each of those who wanted to be partakers of that covenant, were to be circumcised and take the law upon themselves and fulfill it at face value.

But we said then that Jesus did not use this Hebrew word, nor did he use the equivalent word in the Greek, which in this case would be suntheke, but used a different diadséke that has a completely different meaning.

Luke, chapter 22, verse 20. this Cup or poterion is the new covenant in my blood that is shed for you. It was the new inheritance, the new disposition. The new covenant symbolized fulfillment, consummation, as Jesus said: it is finished for scripture to be fulfilled.

Although he knew that everything had already been fulfilled. Still, something was missing, and he said, he is accomplished and then he gave up his spirit.

This Cup, the fourth Cup is the Cup of Baptism, is the new diadséke. It is the new disposition; it is the positional and consummate inheritance. Remember then that he said to the disciples, "Can you partake of the baptism with which I will be baptized?" Can you take from the Cup that I will take? they told him, if we can. There was certainly a baptism, there was a death, there was a resurrection in Christ, there was a fulfillment, and it is very important that we understand all this from beginning to end.

Mark, chapter 10, verse 39 they said (James and John), we can, Jesus told the truth of the vessel that I drink you will drink and with the baptism with which I am baptized you will be baptized.

1 Corinthians 12:13, for by one spirit, we were all baptized, we were all baptized into one body. Who baptized us in this new covenant, the Shepherd, the deacon, ... the old man? Who baptized him in this fulfillment and in this inheritance, in this disposition where all things were attained by the faith of God?

Because by one Spirit we were all baptized, we were baptized by the Spirit into one body, the body of Christ, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free. We were all given to drink of the same spirit of the same Cup, of the same consummation, of the same fulfillment, of the same diadséke which means inheritance and disposition.

How important, beloved, it is to understand this, because it is not a question of clinging to the symbols, but of understanding what the symbols were pointing out, to fulfillment and consummation.

Don't miss part two: "Danger of falling into apostasy and demon worship."
