The Son of Man

Good morning, kind friends and brethren present, and those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite or the internet in different nations. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion here in Washington, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program pertaining to this end time.

Greetings also to José Benjamín Pérez, minister there in Puerto Rico, who is with the Church of Puerto Rico, connected to this broadcast.

On this occasion we have the subject: “THE SON OF MAN,” of the four titles of Son that Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One, the Christ, has. On Friday we will be discussing a summary on the four titles of Son, and next Sunday we will be talking about the subject: “THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”

We will already be in Puerto Rico next Sunday and Saturday as well, to discuss those subjects, which are current subjects, those are the current subjects of the Divine Program pertaining to the end time.

Now let’s look in our Bibles, in Saint Matthew chapter 16, verse 26 and on. Let’s even read from 24. Chapter 16, verses 24 to 28, of Saint Matthew, where it says:

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?)

“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It. Our subject is: “THE SON OF MAN.”

We have seen, throughout the Scripture, that Christ has different titles of Son: He has the title of Son of God, He has the title of Son of Abraham, He has the title of Son of David, He has the title of Son of Man.

As Son of Abraham, He is the heir to all the Earth, all the territory that God promised Abraham, all the territory there of the land of Canaan, the promised land. That is why the Messiah is a descendant of Abraham, in order to be heir to what has been promised to Abraham, so that God gives it to Him for an inheritance.

Remember that God can give all or part of a territory, or the entire planet Earth, to whomever He desires. The Scripture says: “Mine is the Earth, the world, and the fullness thereof, and they that dwell therein.”¹ In other words, everything belongs to God; therefore, to whomever He wants… He can give it to whomever He wants, for which it is necessary to be an heir.

We also have… that is the Royal Grant; we also have the Lord as Son of David. Each title of Son has its inheritance. As Son of David, Christ is the heir to the Throne and Kingdom of David.

Remember when the Angel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary in Saint Luke chapter 1, verses 26 and on, where it says:

“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”

Here are the words of the Archangel or Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, about the child who would be born through her, by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit. The first woman—and only woman in the world—who has given birth to a child without the intervention of having relations with a man, but instead by the Work of the Holy Spirit, which brings forth sons and daughters of God.

That was the way that Adam and Eve were supposed to receive children back in the time of Eden; but the way was altered; and that is why we have come with a temporary life, to live for a short time and confirm our place in Eternal Life, by receiving Christ as our Savior, so that He gives us Eternal Life; and thus we become descendants of God through Christ our elder Brother, the Firstborn among all His brethren.

Here we have seen the promise that Christ the Messiah is the heir to the Throne of David and Kingdom of David. Therefore, God will give the Kingdom of David and Throne of David to the Prince Messiah, the Prince of Peace, who is the only One that can bring permanent peace to Israel; there lies the secret of the peace for Israel and for all mankind.

As Son of David we have seen which is the inheritance that belongs to the Lord, to the Messiah.

Then we also have the title of Son of God. With the title of Son of God, He is the heir of the Heavens and the Earth; that is why when He died and rose, that was the fulfillment of what He had said in Saint Matthew chapter 26, verse 64 (to avoid reading too much):

“Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said…”

Let’s read verse 63 as well:

“But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”

Christ knew that He was going to sit on the Throne of God, this means sitting at the right hand of God; and the One who is on the Throne is the One who has the power of the Kingdom. Therefore, He is the heir of the Heavens and the Earth, He is the King of the Heavens and the Earth. That is why Christ is over all the heavenly hosts, all the heavenly hosts are subject to Him.

As Son of God He has been in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit, from age to age, He is the Angel of the Covenant; and the Angel of the Covenant is God’s heavenly body, God’s theophanic body, the Holy Spirit. Remember that a spirit is a body from another dimension.

As Son of God: in the stages of the Church, that is, in the Dispensation of Grace, in the midst of Christianity. He has been manifesting Himself, since the day of Pentecost, as Son of God.

Then we have the title of Son of Man. That is a title of a prophet. Whenever the Son of Man is manifested, it will always be a prophet. That is why when God speaks to Jeremiah, to Ezekiel, to Daniel, to all of them, He can say to them: “Son of Man, listen!” “Son of Man, speak!” “Son of Man, eat this book;” because Son of Man is a title, the title of a prophet. Always keep that in mind, so that when God allows us to fully understand, we may know what the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man is referring to.

Christ said that the Son of Man comes with His Angels. Saint Matthew chapter 24, verses 30 to 31:

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

There the elect are 144,000, 12,000 of each tribe, which appear in chapter 7 of Revelation, verse 1 and on; and Revelation chapter 14, verse 1 and on. Those are God’s elect from among the Hebrew people, who will be called at this end time in and under that manifestation of the Son of Man.

That is why for the end time the manifestation of the Angels of the Son of Man is promised, which are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of Revelation chapter 11, verse 1 to 14; which also appear in Zechariah chapter 4, verses 11 to 14, as the Two Olive Trees that stand before the presence of the Lord, and which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah of Revelation chapter 11, verse 1 to 11.

Those are the Two Olive Trees and the two Candlesticks that stand before God. They are the symbols that have to do with this end time, and with God’s final manifestation in the midst of His Church and in the midst of the Hebrew people.

As Son of Man, what does He inherit? What is the inheritance? What is the heritage? We are interested because Saint Paul says in Romans chapter 8, verse 14 and on, that we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus our Lord; therefore, we want to know what is the inheritance to which we are heirs as children of God, and what is the inheritance to which we are joint-heirs with Christ, because Christ as the Son of God is the heir of all things, but the believers in Christ are joint-heirs with Christ of what? Of all things as well.

That is why they are referred to in Revelation chapter 1, and also in chapter 5 and in chapter 20, as kings, priests… And also in First Corinthians chapter 2… Let’s give you the exact Scripture of First Corinthians… It is important that we know what God has given us. It is important that we know what our inheritance is. First Corinthians chapter 6 says… verse 2 and on:

“Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”

See, the believers in Christ, with Christ, who is the Supreme Judge, whom God has ordained to be Judge of the living and the dead…² He is the Supreme Judge of the Divine Supreme Court; and the believers in Christ belong to that Supreme Court as judges, because they are going to judge the world and the angels as well.

In plain words: all the believers in Christ belong to the judiciary of God’s Kingdom as judges; they are members of the judiciary, that is why they will be able to judge. A person who is not a judge cannot judge; he cannot judge the world, nor judge the angels. And Christ is the Chief Justice of the heavenly Court, whom God has ordained to be Judge of the living and the dead.

Because He is the Son of Man, God has made Him Judge. In chapter 5 of Saint John it tells us that because He is the Son of Man… Let’s look it up so that it’s clear to you. Chapter 5, verse 27 of Saint John, says:

“And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”

It also tells us that the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son because He is the Son of Man.³

How will God judge mankind? Through Christ, who is the Supreme Judge appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. For which He will change from Lamb to Lion, from High Priest to Judge, in order to carry out that Work.

That is why Psalm 2… let’s see what it tells us… Psalm 2, verse 6 and on, says:

“Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.”

Here we have the fact that God will give all the nations, all the uttermost parts of the Earth. It’s because as Son of Man, Christ is the heir to the planet Earth with everything the planet Earth has, with all the nations, with all human beings, with all animals; with everything that is on the planet Earth.

And it says: “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance.”

Remember that Adam lost the inheritance, and that is why the Title Deed, the Seven-Sealed Book, which is the Title Deed of the Divine inheritance, went back to the right hand of God; and in Revelation chapter 5, we find It in the right hand of God; and It is claimed by Christ as Lion.

He takes the Book, opens It in Heaven in chapter 6 of Revelation (and on); and then in Revelation chapter 10 He brings It open to Earth and gives It to a man.

Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven crying as when a lion roars, speaking as Lion (not as Lamb but as Lion, and therefore, as Judge) gives It to a man represented in John the Apostle, who represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and all the messengers that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ would have.

Therefore, by John receiving that open little Book, and eating It, because the Word comes to the prophets, there will be a prophet on Earth who will receive that Title Deed and eat It; and then there in Revelation 10, it says: “Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, nations, and tongues.” And then in Revelation 11, the prophetic ministry begins to prophesy the things that will happen during the Great Tribulation.

And there we have that prophetic ministry of the Two Olive Trees being manifested at the time of the Great Tribulation, bringing the Word, making known the Divine Judgments that will come upon the planet Earth.

“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance.”

Remember that the one who has the title deed of a property is the legal owner of that property; and the Title Deed, not only of the planet Earth but of all Creation, is that Seven-Sealed Book, it is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, where the names of all the sons and daughters of God are written; they are in the part, in the section, of the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Those are the sheep of the Father, which God would give Christ, the Good Shepherd, to seek them, bring them to the Fold, and give them Eternal Life. That is why He commanded to preach the Gospel to every creature: “(And) he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”⁴

Who will believe? The sheep that the Father gives Christ to seek and to give them Eternal Life. That is why Christ said: “I have come to seek and to save that which was lost.”⁵ In other words, He came to seek me, and who else? Each one of you too.

Remember that you have come to Christ because God has brought you. The human being doesn’t seek God, it is God who seeks the human being. “I have come to seek and to save that which was lost.” See? That is why Christ came. And that is why He says: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me, and I know them, and I give them Eternal Life; and they shall never perish, My Father, which gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.”⁶ In other words, a person who is written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life cannot be lost. Those are God’s sons and daughters, whom God thought of before the foundation of the world.

Sometimes, when someone tells us: “I was thinking about you on such-and-such a day,” we say: “It’s so good that someone thinks of me.” How much more so to know that God thought of each and every one of us eternally! He thought… we were in the Divine thought.

It’s like, humanly speaking, when a person thinks, when a young person thinks and says: “I want to have children: a boy and a girl,” which is usually what they want: the pair; then when they get married, doing things Biblically, they get married, and they have the pair like they wanted. Their parents can say to them: “We had thought of having a pair (a little boy and a little girl), and you are the ones we had thought of.” Those children feel happy, saying: “Mom and dad thought of me, they thought to bring me to this Earth. Thank God they thought of me!”

And thank God that God thought of us, to bring us into existence, to life! So that while we are on this Earth we come in contact with Eternal Life and confirm our place in Eternal Life with Christ, to live with Christ in His Kingdom, for how long? For all eternity.

Remember that an elect cannot be lost. He was eternally in God’s Mind. And when Christ was here on Earth: we were with Him.

Now, how can you explain that? How can you understand it? If you have an avocado tree or a mango tree, you can say: “I had this avocado tree or this mango tree in my hand with all the avocados or all the mangos it now has.” They may tell you: “You are crazy.” And how did you have it? When it was in the seed. In the seed was the potential, the roots were there, the tree with its branches and with all the fruit was there, which are the children, the fruit.

And Christ is the Tree of Life. We were in Christ, the Tree of Life; and therefore, we have appeared in the relevant time, where? Manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember, Christ said: “I am the Vine, you are the branches.”⁷ In other words, we belong to Christ, we are part of Christ. When He was here on Earth, we were in Him: as attributes who would be manifested later on in the form of people. Just like the tree had its fruits in the seed, Christ is the Seed, the Seed of God through which all the sons and daughters of God would come to and with Eternal Life. We don’t remember anything, but we do know that we were in Him.

Notice, the human being’s body was in his father, and before it was in his father it was in his grandfather, and before it was in his grandfather, it was in his great-grandfather.

Paul the apostle, in Hebrews chapter 7, referring to Levi, says that when Abraham tithed to God, Levi was also tithing, who was in Abraham’s loins. In other words, life emerges in the fourth generation before the person. Levi was already in Abraham’s loins there. That is what the Bible tells us, Saint Paul speaking to us. And thus, he came: from Abraham’s loins to Isaac’s loins, from Isaac’s loins to Jacob’s loins, and from Jacob’s loins to manifestation, when Levi was born.

And we were eternally in God, we have come from eternity; and we have come to confirm our place with Christ in Eternal Life. This planet is the place where we confirm our place in Eternal Life.

Now, the Scripture also says: “No man can come to Me except the Father which has sent Me draw him.”⁸ If the Father doesn’t draw him in, he can’t come.

“My sheep hear My Voice and they follow Me.” The sheep that the Father gave Christ are those people who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; which, when they come to understand who they are, thank God for the blessing and privilege of being a daughter or a son of God. Those are the sons and daughters of God; and therefore, they are the Family of God. And God is the King of the Heavens and the Earth; and His children are kings, priests, and judges; they are Royalty, members of the heavenly Royalty.

Remember that those who belong to royalty are the descendants of the king and the queen. And those are the believers in Christ; that is why the Church is the Queen, and Christ is the King; and His children are princes and princesses. It is important that we know what we are before God’s Presence. You aren’t just anyone; you are members of Royalty.

Christ as the Son of Man… Romans chapter 4 tells us something very important. Chapter 4, verse 12 to 13… verse 13, says:

“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”

Abraham’s Seed, Christ, the heir of what? The entire world. Therefore, we are joint-heirs with Christ of the entire world as well. “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom,” Christ says.⁹ “The meek shall inherit the Earth.”¹⁰

All these blessings are promised for the believers in Christ as joint-heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ — heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ our Lord.

As Son of Man we saw that He is the heir of the entire world. That is why in Isaiah chapter 9… chapter 9 of Isaiah, verses 6 to 7, says:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

This Kingdom of the Messiah will cover these titles of Son of Man. As Son of David, He will reign over Israel, He will sit on the Throne of David, and such will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David. Jerusalem will be the capital of that Kingdom, and from there He will also rule, He will reign, over all the nations; and peace will go forth from Jerusalem: the City of Peace, the City of God.

The Kingdom of the Messiah, which all the prophets have spoken about, is the only hope for a government that will bring permanent peace for the human family. That is why the only hope there is for mankind is the Second Coming of Christ; there is no other hope that the human being can have.

The Son of Man is promised to come, He will be revealed, manifested, at this end time. He was shown on Mount Transfiguration, in chapter 17 of Saint Matthew; He was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, and on either side of Jesus appeared: Moses and Elijah, which are the Angels of the Son of Man who are sent to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews. Those are the ministries of Moses and Elijah being repeated at the Last Day to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews. They are not literally Moses and Elijah, but their ministries being repeated.

Christ, the Son of Man, the heir of the Earth, knows what He will do and how He will do it, to establish His Kingdom on Earth, and bring peace and happiness to the human being.

The greatest event promised for this end time is the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man; keeping in mind that this is a title of a prophet.

This is the end time, and therefore, it is the time for the Coming, the manifestation of the Son of Man, for the manifestation of God at the Last Day, in which He will fulfill the promises He has made to His Church.

Therefore, let’s be prepared, with our lives in order before God, having received Christ as our Savior. And if someone hasn’t received Him yet, it is important that you receive Him as soon as possible, because we are already at the end of time, where at any moment Christ will complete His Church, and then the Door will be shut; as Christ shows in the parable of the ten virgins: that the Bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with Him to the Marriage, and the door was shut.

Also…That is in Saint Matthew 25, chapter 25. And in Saint Luke chapter 13, verse 21 to 27, it also tells us that when the Master of the House has risen up and shut the door… In other words, the Door will be closed; the Door of the Dispensation of Grace will be closed any moment.

When Christ completes His Church He will already finish His Work as High Priest in Heaven and He will become the Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, to carry out His Claiming Work, taking the Title Deed and making the claim over what He has redeemed with His precious Blood. Let’s be prepared, because we are at the end time.

A great manifestation from God will come, as it was in the days of Jesus, in the days of the apostles, and in the days of Rev. William Branham.

In Rev. William Branham, there was a manifestation of the Son of Man, in other words, of Christ manifested through a prophet working as He did two thousand years ago. And Rev. William Branham says that it will be repeated, but that when this happens, there will no longer be an opportunity for mankind. That will be the Third Pull, which Rev. William Branham spoke of, according to what the Angel spoke to him about the Third Pull, and He showed him a Great Tent Cathedral.¹¹

In other words, around that time we will see, through that Vision we will see a great manifestation of the Son of Man in its fulfillment; for that is the promise for the believers in Christ for the Last Day: the Coming or manifestation of the Son of Man.

Christ has been with His Church the whole time; and He has been veiling Himself and revealing Himself through different messengers of God. In His Church, among the Gentiles, He was present in the first age in and with Saint Paul, veiled in Saint Paul and revealed through Saint Paul; and likewise, throughout each age of the Church He veiled Himself and revealed Himself in and through the messenger of each age. Those are the manifestations of Christ in the midst of His Church, whose midst He has been in since the day of Pentecost.

Christ said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Saint Matthew chapter 28, verse 20. And Saint Matthew chapter 18, verse 20, says: “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I will be present, there I will be.” And He takes different instruments, messengers, and manifested in them and through them, He speaks to His people, calls and gathers His elect of each age, and thus, He forms His Church from age to age; He gathers the elect of His Church.

And at this end time, He will complete His Work, He will complete the number of the elect. Just like a father of a household and his wife say: “That’s enough,” and they don’t have any more children. And God will complete His Church, His sons and daughters, He will complete the Royalty; and then He will carry out the other things He has to carry out, such as the resurrection of the dead in Christ in glorified bodies and the transformation of us who are alive; so that we are all just like Jesus Christ: with glorified and young bodies for all eternity, representing 18 to 21 years of age.

And if someone doesn’t value that, I certainly do. And if someone doesn’t need it, I certainly do; because the body I have is temporary; and since the human body has four rays of light and they start fading, in the new body they don’t fade. The new body, since it is eternal and glorified, will remain alive and young for all eternity. And that will be the body that God destined, predestinated, chose for you and me to have for all of eternity.

So, the body we have is temporary; it has its problems because it isn’t a perfect body; it is in God’s permissive will until we receive the new one; the new one is the eternal body that God designed, predestinated for all of us, just like the one of the Lord Jesus Christ, interdimensional.

So, the blessing there is for the believers in Christ is the greatest one of all times; and there is a feast that is waiting for its guests: “Blessed are they that are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.”¹² I have been called and I accepted the invitation. And who else? Each one of you too.

Therefore, a great feast is awaiting us in Heaven, the greatest feast that has ever taken place in Heaven, in the House of the Heavenly Father; which is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the reception of the Marriage of Christ and His Church. And they are waiting for us over there. Therefore, let’s be prepared and always working in the Work of the Lord.

We are at the time for the manifestation of the Son of Man. We saw it in Jesus, we saw it in Rev. William Branham, and it will be repeated at this end time.

That is why under that manifestation we saw that the Son of Man, Christ, had authority over nature, over all things; we also saw that manifestation like that in Rev. William Branham; and it will be seen again according to Revelation chapter 11. Therefore, let’s be prepared, because there is good news for the believers in Christ; good tidings of peace and happiness.

We are already very close to the fulfillment of all those promises. For two thousand years, about two thousand years, we have waited for the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man, and now we have been given the end time; in other words, we are two thousand years closer than the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ were.

“THE SON OF MAN.” The heir of the planet Earth with everything it contains; and we are joint-heirs with Him.

May God bless you and keep you all.

“THE SON OF MAN.”
