The one who blesses and the one who receives the blessing

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren here in the Republic of El Salvador. It is a great privilege for me to be with you, to share a few moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time, in order to receive the blessings of Christ our Savior; because what we want are the blessings of Jesus Christ, and He has said that He will give us His blessings.

In the book of Numbers, chapter 6, verses 22 to 27 (where Miguel also read, he was reading), it says:

“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

The Hebrew people are a people blessed by God; and God has said: “He that blesses you shall be blessed; and he that curses you shall be cursed.”¹ That same blessing and that same promise was in Abraham, in Isaac and in Jacob, and now it has passed to the Hebrew people.

Now, we can see that God commands prophet Moses to place God’s blessing upon the Hebrew people; and with this blessing placed upon the Hebrew people, the Hebrew people will walk forward, with God’s blessing being materialized in them.

He who blesses, speaks God’s creative Word of blessing; and he who receives the blessing, what does he do? He receives that spoken Word into his soul, believes it with all his soul, and then it materializes in his life. Did you see how simple it is?

Now, God, we also find that He spoke to Solomon, and He spoke to him about His Program to carry out in the midst of the Hebrew people.

Now, let’s see some Scriptures here, as God tells us in His Word, in what He spoke to the prophet Moses, and the prophet Moses spoke to Aaron and Aaron’s sons; He said to him: “And thou shalt put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

The Name of God must be placed upon the people who are to receive that blessing. A blessing from God can’t be cast without the Name of God being placed upon those who are to receive that blessing. The one who blesses needs to know that, as God told Aaron and the priests through Moses.

And now, the one who receives it, believes it with all his soul, and it materializes in his life; and the words of Jesus: “Let it be done according to your faith,”² becomes a reality for that person. Nothing else is needed than for the Word of blessing to be spoken, and the Name of God to be placed upon those who hear and receive that Word of blessing.

And now, notice how in Revelation, chapter 7, God sends the Angel that ascends from where the sun rises with the Seal of the living God (in other words, with the Holy Spirit), to call and gather 144,000 and seal them in their foreheads. And then, in Revelation, chapter 14, they are already called, gathered and sealed in their foreheads with the Name of God, of the heavenly Father, written on their foreheads, and the Name of the Lamb; the Name of God is placed on those 144,000: “Thou shalt put my Name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Notice how the blessing comes for those 144,000 Hebrews: under the ministry of that Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God, in other words, that Angel that comes with the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, manifested in that Angel, who is the Angel of the Holy Spirit; He is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, He is the Angel of the Angel of the Lord. And notice, he comes with that commission to bless —God through that manifestation— His people Israel; but first He blesses His Church.

And now, let’s see here, in Psalm 127 and 128, let’s see… God says through the psalmist, in Psalm 127, verse 1 (and 128, verse 5), says here the psalmist:

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it:”

And in Psalm 128 it says, verse 5:

“The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.”

Now, if we read a little bit before that… Let’s read the whole Psalm, it’s a short one. Psalm 128 says:

“Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.”

Now, notice here, the psalmist says: “May God bless you (from where?) from Zion.”

And now, let’s see in First Kings something very important that is here; chapter 8, verses 12 and on (as to not read too much), it says:

“Then spake…”

But here is something we must read… First Kings, chapter 5, verse 5, let’s see something here that has to do with this very thing, but let’s read it first; it says… Here is King David speaking, or… let’s see who is speaking: Solomon… It says, chapter 5, verse 1 and on, it says:

“And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.

And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God (In whose name did David want to build this temple, this house? The Name of God, that is, the name YHWH), for the wars which were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.

But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.

And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God (To what Name? The Name of the Lord our God; his God and our God), as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.”

Now notice why God mentions His Name so much. And now notice where the Name of God will be, which was in the midst of the Hebrew people (and it is in the midst of the Hebrew people); and now it will be in a temple that God told Solomon to build, according to what He had placed in David’s heart. And just as in the time of Moses God commanded Moses to build a temple, a tabernacle, to the Name of God, for God to dwell in that place.

And where God dwells, there is His Name.

Don’t lose sight of that, don’t forget that: Where God is, there is His Name.

And now, in chapter 8, verse 12 and on, it says:

“Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.”

In other words, in the most holy place, which had no lamps burning. Why? Because the light that will be there is the same Divine Light, God is the one that will be shining in that place; and they don’t need to put lamps there, they don’t need someone to come in and put lights there, because the Light of God is all sufficient to light there. It says:

“I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)…”

Now notice who is blessing the congregation of Israel here: The Son of David. And the Son of David in the Last Day will bless His Church, which is His spiritual House, and will bless Israel; that is, the members of His House, the heavenly Israel, His Church, and the earthly Israel, the Hebrew people, 144,000 Hebrews.

“And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

And the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.”

Because David was a man after God’s own heart³; 1 Samuel 13:14; and God transmitted His thoughts, the thoughts of His heart, His feeling, He transmitted them to King David; and David expressed them by speaking them and also by carrying out the thoughts of God’s heart. Therefore, David was a man after God’s (what?) heart.</sup>

“…thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel (which is the same throne of David), as the Lord promised, and have built an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

Here we can see that now, the Name of God will be placed in a house; it is in the midst of the Hebrew people, but now it will be placed in a house, a temple that will be made for God.

Chapter 8, verse 29, says (Solomon praying, says):

“That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.”

And then, in chapter 9, verse 1 and on, it says:

“And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon (as He had appeared the first time).

And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually (God’s eyes and God’s heart also).

And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:

Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever (that is, no other king would arise who was not a descendant of Solomon), as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people…”

And Solomon and Solomon’s descendants departed from the divine statutes, and that is why the house that Solomon built was cast out from before the presence of God; but there, in that house, God dwelt and His Name was there; because where God dwells and He is manifested, His Name is there, the Name of God, because there is none other than the Lord, who is the Angel of the Covenant.

And God said of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, in Exodus, chapter 23, verses 20 and on, as follows, and it says as follows:

“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

For mine Angel shall go before thee (And where will it take them? To the promised land)…”

And now, notice how the Name of God is in His Angel, and His Angel is His theophanic body of the sixth dimension. God is dwelling there, in that theophanic body that resembles our body but is of another dimension.

And now, God is manifested there in His Angel, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who appears in different forms; and we find Him appearing —the Angel of the Lord— in that flame of fire, and we also find Him appearing in the form of a man, of a male, of the sixth dimension: the Eternal Name of God is there.

But now, inasmuch as a house was built for God (the one built by Moses and then the one built by Solomon)…, and the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, was inside that house, in the most holy place, over the ark of the covenant, in the midst of the two golden cherubim, upon the mercy seat, for the Eternal Name of God was there. “My Name is (where?) in Him,” that is, in the Angel, which is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, that theophanic body of God of the sixth dimension, also called “The Word of God.”

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was the Life, and the Life was the Light of men.” That is in John, chapter 1, verse 1 onwards.

And it also says in that same chapter 1: “That true Light was coming into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him; but the world knew Him not (didn’t understand Him). He came unto His own (that is, to the Hebrew people), and His own received Him not (rejected Him).”

And who was the one that came in the midst of the Hebrew people? The Word, which was with God and was God, who created the Heavens and the Earth, who delivered the Hebrew people, and who dwelt in the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, there in the most holy place; and there, consequently, was the Name of God; because that house that Moses built and the one that Solomon built was a house for the Name of God, the Eternal Name of God, a house for the Eternal Name of God to dwell there.

And now, when the Angel of the Covenant came, the Angel of the Lord, according to Malachi, chapter 3, verse 1, we find that He sent a messenger preparing the way, which was John the Baptist. It says, chapter 3, verse 1, of Malachi:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Now, we have the temple or tabernacle that Moses built, we have the temple or tabernacle that King Solomon built.

But now, remember that in the temple where God dwells, His Name is there. And the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant, which is the Word, that theophanic body of God, God dwells there; therefore His Name is there. That is a temple of the sixth dimension, a man of the sixth dimension as a dwelling temple of God, and therefore His Name is there.

And then, when the Word became flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people, John, chapter 1, verse 14, says: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”

And now, the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, where God is manifested and where His Name is, now a body of flesh is created in Mary’s womb and is born in Bethlehem of Judea; and after He grew up, and John the Baptist began to preach and prepare the people for the Coming – the First Coming of Christ, Jesus came to him, and asked John to baptize Him; so He became one of the disciples of John the Baptist, one of the disciples of the forerunner. One of the disciples of the forerunner was the fulfillment of the messianic promise.

Now, keep that in your minds and in your hearts: one of the disciples, of the believers in the forerunner, was the one foreran. It couldn’t be any other way.

There can’t appear one, the forerunner, preaching something, and then the foreran appear somewhere else preaching something else; it has to be in harmony. The foreran must first be a believer in the forerunner; and then the Spirit of God, who is in the forerunner, manifests Himself in all His fullness in the foreran.

Now, notice how the forerunner said that after him would come another, a man, who would baptize them with the Holy Spirit and Fire; and he said that He was greater than him⁴; because the foreran is greater —always— than the forerunner.</sup>

The forerunner is a messenger, a prophet of an age, of the last age that pertains to the Hebrew Church, who was John the Baptist; he was the prophet messenger of the seventh age of the Hebrew Church under the Law. And then the foreran is the prophet messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone of that time; because He Himself is that Cornerstone, the Stone that the builders rejected⁵; therefore, His age must be the Age of the Cornerstone.</sup>

And notice how in the Coming of the foreran whom John announced would come, when He appeared and was baptized by John, John didn’t know Him; but when the Holy Spirit came upon Him in the form of a dove, when He saw the heavens open, He saw the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus; and John bore witness, saying: “He who sent me to baptize, said unto me, Upon whom you see the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove, and remaining on him, that is Him.”⁶

And now, the Pillar of Fire, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, entered His human temple called Jesus. And there we have the human temple that He used in this earthly dimension to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross; and that is why the Name of Redemption of God was there: To carry out the Work of Redemption. Jesus means ‘Savior’; it is Joshua or Yoshua in Hebrew (or Yeshua in Hebrew), and it means ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’

Now, there were many people before Jesus who had that name. Joshua also had that name, because the very name Joshua is ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer’; it is the same name of Jesus, but in Hebrew. Joshua or Yoshua is in Hebrew, and Jesus is in Greek and other languages.

Now, notice how in Spanish, Jesus is Yoshua or Joshua.

Now, we can see that, although that name was in Joshua and in many other persons, it was in Jesus, and He was the Anointed One with the Holy Spirit in all His fullness. In other words, the Anointed One with the Holy Spirit in all His fullness to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross had to be called by the name Joshua had, because it meant ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’ And Joshua means Jesus, and Joshua was the one who led the people into the promised land.

Redemption or to redeem means ‘to return to the place of origin.’ And Joshua placed the people on the other side of the Jordan in the promised land, and distributed the land to the Hebrew people; in other words, he placed them back in the place from where they had come out of. At the time of Joseph, when there was famine in the territory of Canaan, they went to Egypt; but Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, who is Jesus Christ, we find that He then brought them back to their land, using – delivering them through Moses and then passing them across the Jordan through the prophet and messenger Joshua, who was servant, servant, minister, of Moses.

Notice that the one who placed the Hebrew people in the promised land and established their territories there, on the other side of the Jordan, and distributed the land to them, was Joshua. Moses didn’t know who it was that God would send with him, but God told Moses (later) that it was Joshua.

Now, Joshua’s name was not Joshua, but his name was Hosea son of Nun, and Moses changed his name, gave him a new name⁷; and with that new name, which meant ‘Jehovah-Savior,’ ‘Jehovah-Redeemer,’ he led the people to the other side of the Jordan.</sup>

And now, John the Baptist spoke of one who would come after him; and when He came, His name was Jesus; and He was, according to the flesh, John’s cousin, for Mary and Elizabeth were related.

And now, notice how everything remained in the family, just as everything remained in the family between Moses and Joshua. It remained among family because both were children of Israel, of the Hebrew people, although of different tribes: Moses was from the tribe of Levi, and Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim. And the tribe of Ephraim is the tribe that has the Birthright Blessing, because that is one of the parts of the double portion of tribe that God gave to Joseph; the other part of the portion of tribe was that of Manasseh; because the Birthright has a double portion.

And now, we find that John the Baptist, notice, was of the seed of Aaron⁸ or of the Levites, that is, of the tribe of Levi; but Jesus Christ appears as a descendant of the tribe of Judah.⁹

And now, for the Last Day, God has promised the coming of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; and for those who want to receive him, he is the Reverend William Branham; who came, brought his Message, prepared the people for the Coming of the Lord, and he already left; but his Message remained; and God told him that his Message would introduce the Second Coming of Christ¹⁰; because the Message and the messenger are the same thing.</sup>

John the Baptist speaking his Message was that he presented Christ; in other words, in John’s Message was the presentation of the Messiah. And in the Message of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ is the presentation of the Messiah for His Second Coming.

And now, for the Last Day, just as the Eternal Name of God for Redemption was manifested… and the Name of God of Redemption we find it in the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Word in human flesh, in that young carpenter of Nazareth. That is why Jesus could say: “I have come in the name of my Father.”¹¹

And He also said on another occasion: “Father, sanctify Your Name” or “glorify Your Name.” John, chapter 12, that is around verse… Let’s see, we have it here in the Bible…: verse 28, says:

“Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

He has glorified It in His First Coming, and He will also glorify It in His Second Coming; because where the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord is, the Eternal Name of God will be there; because the Name of God is in the Temple. Called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, that man of the sixth dimension, which is God Himself in His theophanic body, which created the Heavens and the Earth: “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.”¹²

And it also tells us, speaking of the Word: “…and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. By him all things were made (that is, created), and without Him was not anything made that was made.” John, chapter 1, verse 1 to 18. (You can read it at home).

And now, for the Last Day we have, in the book of Revelation, the promise of the Coming of the Word, the promise of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, verse 11 to 21. That is the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord.

And now, for the Last Day we will have the manifestation of the Eternal Name of God again.

Now, let’s see something very important, so you can understand more clearly all this Divine Program that brings us God’s blessing; because God says to the prophet Moses and the prophet Moses says to Aaron: “So shall you bless the children of Israel…”:

“On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

The Lord make his face shine upon thee (and for His Second Coming, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, comes with His face, how?, like the sun, shining), and be gracious unto thee:

The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”

In Hosea we have the promise of the Coming of the Lord to the Hebrew people, in chapter 6, verse 1 to 6.

“The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace (for the Hebrew people, although their city, Jerusalem, means ‘City of Peace,’ it is the place where there are always wars, there are problems; but God will put peace upon Jerusalem and upon all the Hebrew people).

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

For the blessing of the Hebrew people, the Name of God has to be spoken, placed upon the Hebrew people. And that will be for this end time, at the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, where the Name of God will be placed upon the Hebrew people.

That is why it says Revelation, chapter 14, verse 1 and on, about those 144,000, which is the earthly Israel, which is called and gathered by the ministry of the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God; it says:

“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”

The Name of our heavenly Father (the Eternal Name of God) and the Name of the Lamb (New Name of Jesus Christ) was placed upon those 144,000, upon their foreheads; in other words, they obtained the divine revelation in their souls and in their minds, and thus they knew the Eternal Name of God, the revelation of that Name.

Why? Because the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God, which is the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant within him manifested: that Angel of the Covenant has the Eternal Name of God. And in the manifestation of that Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is the one that has the Eternal Name of God, God said: “Do not be rebellious to Him; for He will not forgive your rebellion, because my Name is in Him.”

And now, in the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, in the Last Day, He will manifest that Name. And now, where will He manifest It? In His Temple.

Now, we have to understand what the Temple of God is. We are going to see seven important things that represent the Temple of God and that are the Temple of God:

Israel as a nation. In the midst of Israel was the Name of God because there was the Angel of the Covenant. Israel as a nation is formed in the same way that Moses built the temple of God.

And the earthly Israel represents the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?” says Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, First Corinthians, chapter 3, verse 16. And First Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 19, says that our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit.

Now, notice the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a Temple of God; and each one of us as a temple of God, temple of the Holy Spirit.

And now, Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the Temple of God, and Jerusalem also represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because the earthly Jerusalem represents the heavenly Jerusalem: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the spiritual Temple of God, dwelling place of God in Holy Spirit.

Notice, in Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 22 and on, it says:

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”

And in Galatians, chapter 4, Saint Paul also speaks to us and tells us (let’s see if we can find)… Chapter 4, verse 22 and on, it says:

“For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is (that is, the earthly one), and is in bondage with her children.

But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free (that is, of the heavenly Jerusalem, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ).”

In Revelation, chapter 21, God also tells us…, verse 2 and on, it says:

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”

And then, we find in verse 9 of this same chapter 21 that it says:

“And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

The bride, the Lamb’s Wife, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, she is the one that will dwell on Earth, because she is the heavenly Jerusalem, which we belong to; and where Jerusalem is today, because of the volcanoes, a high mountain will rise, which will cover not only the territory of Israel but even more territory, and it will be 1,500 miles wide (approximately), and it will be 1,500 miles long also (in other words, it is in a square shape), and it will be 1,500 miles high also (but it will be in the shape of a pyramid)¹³; and that is where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will dwell, and the Throne of God will be there and of the Lamb; and the Scripture teaches us that only those who have their names there, will enter, where? Let’s see. Revelation 21, verses 22 to 27, says:</sup>

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Those will be the inhabitants there, those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, in the new Heavens and new Earth, which will be after the Millennial Kingdom and after the Last Judgment; where the Earth will then go through its purification process, and then it will start again on this planet Earth; because the Earth will receive that fire baptism, both physical and spiritual, and there will be no diseases left on Earth, neither will there be any weeds left on Earth, neither the devil nor the fallen spirits will be left either: they will be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death.

Now, we have seen how it will be after the Millennial Kingdom.

Now, we have seen that the earthly Jerusalem represents the heavenly Jerusalem, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will dwell in that great mountain in eternity.

The temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built also represent the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is also represented in Jesus.

That is why He says: “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”¹⁴ That is why Saint Paul teaches us that we are the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.¹⁵

And the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ also represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because he is part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and in the Last Day he will be with His Church, the Church of Jesus Christ, and in the midst of His Church; and therefore, being one of the Church of Jesus Christ, notice, he will be representing the entire Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Day, just as each messenger represented the Church of Jesus Christ in the age in which he lived.

And now, the Temple, notice, as a Church is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the individuals, as a temple of God, are the members of the Church of Jesus Christ; and the messengers of Jesus Christ have been a temple of Jesus Christ, where God has manifested Himself.

And now, notice, from age to age Christ in Holy Spirit has been manifested in His Temple, in His Church, carrying out His Work from age to age through the messenger of each age in the Holy Place, but for the Last Day He will be carrying out His Work relevant to the Most Holy Place through His Angel Messenger; and it will be, according to the Divine Program, the first occasion in which He would enter the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, of His Church. Why? Because it was not built before.

He is the one who is building the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ; a House for the dwelling of God in Holy Spirit, as Saint Paul says in his letter to the Hebrews, chapter 3, verse 1 to 6, but we read only verse 5 to 6, where it says:

“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”

Now notice which is the House of God.

And in Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 19 to 22, Saint Paul says:

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, 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 fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

We can see there that the New Temple that God will have is not a temple of badger skins, as Moses did, nor a temple of stone and wood, as King Solomon did, but it is a Temple composed of living stones, which are human beings, who have been called and gathered from age to age the spiritual Temple of Christ, His Church, to be formed.

Saint Peter, in First Peter, chapter 2, verse 4 and on, speaks to us of that Temple and tells us:

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious (Christ is that living Stone; and all those who belong to that Temple, are what? Living stones, too),

Ye also, as lively stones (there you have it: us too, like living 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.”

Now, we can see that Christ is building a spiritual Temple; and He is the chief Stone of that Temple, He is the Cornerstone.

And now, for the Last Day is that Christ comes; the Cornerstone that came two thousand years ago in His First Coming, for the Last Day will come in His Second Coming. And that is the Stone that King Nebuchadnezzar saw and the prophet Daniel¹⁶ interpreted to him, the Stone not cut from hands from the Mount, Mount Zion, the Mount of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ; and that is the Stone that will be in the Last Day; and the Eternal Name of God will be in that Stone.

That is the little white Stone of which Revelation speaks to us, Christ in Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17, where it says:

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna…”

The hidden Manna is the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ, the revelation of Christ for the Last Day; just as the Hebrew people ate manna for forty years,¹⁷ but then there remained a hidden manna (where?) in the temple, in the most holy place, inside the ark of the covenant.¹⁸

And when the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church are over, where they have received the Manna falling from Heaven in each age, through the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in each angel messenger, then what is left for us? We are left with the hidden Manna, the revelation of Christ for the Last Day.

Let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said in relation to that hidden Manna; on page (let’s see) 330 and 331 (it must be there) of the book of The Ages (let’s see)… Let’s see where we can find this Manna… 230 and 231, it says… 230, it says, of the book of The Ages:¹⁹

“Now then, there is also the thought of the future partaking of the hidden manna. I think it will be the eternal partaking of the revelation of Jesus Christ in the eternal ages to come.”

The revelation of Jesus Christ, not for the seven ages of the gentile Church, but for the eternal ages; and the Age of the Cornerstone is the Eternal Age, which for the Last Day will be representing the Most Holy Place.

And where was the hidden manna? It was in the most holy place. That is where the revelation of Jesus Christ for the future ages has to be, in the Last Day; the revelation of Jesus Christ, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, where He will have, will place, His Name.

And now, where was the Name of God in the temple?; because that house that Moses built, and the one that Solomon built, was a house for the Name of God, where the Name of God would dwell; notice, and where He would place His Name, that would be the house of worship for God.

God being manifested in the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which is God Himself in His theophanic body), and being upon the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim, there was the Name of God in the Angel of the Lord; because God said: “Be not rebellious to Him; for He will not forgive your rebellion, because my Name is in Him.”

And now, the Angel of the Covenant is upon the Mercy Seat, and the Eternal Name of God is there; it is in the Angel of the Covenant, in that man called the Angel of the Covenant or the Angel of the Lord; He is a man of the sixth dimension.

And that is why, in the appearances He made in the Old Testament, many, when they saw Him thought they were going to die and said…. For example, Manoah, Samson’s father, when he received the promise that he would have a son, said to his wife: “We shall die, because we have seen God face to face.”²⁰ But no one has ever seen God, says the Scripture.

And how do they say that they have seen God face to face? Also the prophet and patriarch Jacob, in chapter 32 of Genesis, says that he saw God face to face and his soul was delivered. And then God says to Moses: “Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me, and live.” And then in John, chapter 1, verse 18, says as follows in relation to this mystery that no one has seen God:

“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”

And now, it was the Angel of the Covenant through whom He manifested and God was manifested in the midst of the Hebrew people. And then, when He became flesh and lived among human beings in the land of Israel, God was also making Himself known there, through human flesh, just as He had made Himself known through that theophanic body of the sixth dimension; now He was making Himself known in a body of flesh like the body of human beings but without sin; and God was visiting His people Israel dressed in human flesh, dressed as a human being. And that is the mystery of the First Coming of Christ.

Saint Paul in First Timothy, chapter 3, verse 15 to 17, tells us: “Without contradiction, great is the mystery of godliness: God has been manifested in the flesh.” God manifested in flesh in Jesus of Nazareth, that veil of flesh who was here on Earth two thousand years ago and who died on Calvary’s Cross, but who resurrected on the third day (that is, Sunday) and resurrected glorified; and then ascended to Heaven, 40 days later, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Now notice how the First Coming of Christ is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, in a body of human flesh; and they were seeing God face to face there, but through the veil of flesh that He had. The glory of God was there, manifested in that simple man of Nazareth, named Jesus; and the Name of God for Redemption was also manifested there, because where the Angel of the Covenant is (which is God Himself with His theophanic body) manifested in human flesh, the Name of God for Redemption will be there; and He was there for redemption, to carry it out through His body on Calvary’s Cross.

And now, notice how in the veil of flesh, the human temple of God, of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Covenant was manifested there and the Name of God was there: in His human temple.

We have that there is a human temple in which the Coming of the Lord is fulfilled; and we have the members of the Church of Jesus Christ, who are as individuals also temples of the Holy Spirit; and the Church of Jesus Christ as Mystical Body is the Temple of God, the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, let’s see how in the Temple is that God said He would place His Name. He said that He would place His Name in the place that He would choose to make His Name dwell there. His presence and His Name would be in His Temple. It says Deuteronomy, chapter 16, verse 6, it says:

“But at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place (to inhabit) his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, (at the time) at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.”

Now, where would God’s Passover be? In His temple, in the place where God would choose to place His Name.

And now, Christ is our Passover, and where is Christ since two thousand years ago to this time? In His spiritual Temple, which is His Church; and there we are eating our Passover, which is Christ, from age to age.

He said: “He that eateth not my flesh, and drinketh not my blood, hath not life abiding in him.”²¹

And when we eat the Word of God, Christ is the Word, the Word, and we are thus eating Christ, when we eat the Word, the Message, relevant to the time in which we live; just as the elect of each age ate the Word of God relevant to their age, the Message of their age; for “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”²²

And the Blood is applied in that House, the House of God, which is His Church; and in each person, member, of that House as an individual: it is applied in the soul, in the heart of the person, in the lintel and the doorposts of the door of his heart. And the Life of the Blood, which is the Holy Spirit, comes into the person; and that is the evidence that the Blood of the Lamb, the Blood of Christ, of our Passover, is applied in our soul.

And for the Church as the Mystical Body of believers, we find that Christ, our Passover, has been there in His Church; and we have been eating from stage to stage, from age to age, Christ, the Word, the Message corresponding to each age. And we have been receiving, from stage to stage, the Church of Jesus Christ has been receiving the Holy Spirit coming to her, manifested in His angel messenger of each age.

And for the Last Day, He comes manifested in His Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone. It is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant to His Church, to the Most Holy Place of His Church, which is the Soul, the Heart, of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Age of the Cornerstone is the Soul of the Church of Jesus Christ, the Heart of the Church of Jesus Christ; and therefore it is the Throne of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ dwelling, the Angel of the Covenant in His Church, to manifest Himself there in all His fullness; and to manifest there, to place there, His Name in His House.

It is in the most holy place, in the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, that was (what?) the Name of God; because it was a house for the dwelling of God, to make the Name of God dwell there.

And then, there was a man who also had the Name of God always in the house of God. Do you know who he was? The high priest, written on a golden plate, where it said: “Holiness to the Lord”²³; the Eternal Name of God is there written on the forehead of the high priest. And that is why in that thread of divine thought is that all that divine revelation of the Name of God comes to be written on the forehead of those who receive the victory.</sup>

And now, Christ has said in Revelation, chapter 2…, notice how that Name comes. We were reading of the hidden Manna; now, let’s continue, it says:

“…and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

That little white Stone coming is the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in the Last Day to His spiritual Temple, which is His Church; and He will have, in the Last Day, a messenger in which He will manifest Himself, and it will be the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God in Revelation, chapter 7, who comes with the Holy Spirit.

There comes the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, and seal them in their foreheads with the Seal of the living God. And when He calls them and gathers them and seals them, then they will have in their foreheads the revelation: in their foreheads, in other words, in their minds and in their hearts, the revelation of the Eternal Name of God.

That is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested through that Angel Messenger that will come in the Last Day, in which Jesus Christ will be in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Word manifested, operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, of Elijah for the fifth time and of Jesus for the second time.

But that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, which is sent to the Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Day to testify of all these things that must happen soon, according to what Christ says in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

And Revelation 22, verse 6 and on, says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel (Who has He sent? His Angel), to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.” 

To show, to reveal, the things that are to happen soon, in this end time, whom has He sent? The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just as He sent him to John the apostle, and John received all that apocalyptic revelation in symbols, for the Last Day the Church of Jesus Christ receives the Angel of Jesus Christ; and he will make known to the members of the Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, what pertains to this end time: the things that must shortly come to pass, in this end time.

And now, John the apostle, if we continue reading, notice what he says:

“Behold, ”

Christ says here through His Angel, Christ says here:

“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

And I John saw these things, and heard them.”

And now, how did he see and hear them, and through whom?

“And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.”

Who showed him all these things? The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”

Also in Revelation, chapter 19, verses 6 to 10, he had tried to worship the Angel, but the Angel told him not to do so; for this Angel is the messenger of Jesus Christ for the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

It is the first occasion in which Jesus Christ sends a dispensational prophet to His Church, with a dispensational Message, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet that calls and gathers all the elect of God.

And now, let’s continue here, in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12. We have already seen that the Stone not cut with hands, the little white Stone that comes in the Last Day, which is the Second Coming of Christ, comes (with what?) with a new name; and it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord. Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12, says:

“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

Now, Christ here promises to write upon the Overcomer His New Name, which is the Eternal Name of God, which Christ received when He ascended to Heaven victorious; He received a new name.

That is why in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, the Rider that comes on the white horse of Revelation 19 has a name that no one understands: “…him was called Faithful and True.”

It is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word, which became flesh two thousand years ago in that veil of flesh called Jesus, and carried out the Work of Redemption with that body; and for the Last Day the Word returns, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, to manifest Himself in this end time and write upon the Overcomer His New Name and the Eternal Name of God.

The one who receives that little white Stone is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will be ministering, not in the seven ages of the gentile Church, because the seven ages of the gentile Church correspond to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, where Christ through His seven messengers ministered.

But now, none of His seven messengers could enter the Most Holy Place (why?) because none of them was a dispensational messenger. But now, by placing a dispensational messenger in His Church, He (Christ) will enter and build in His Church the Most Holy Place and minister in the Most Holy Place.

Christ is the High Priest; and notice, the high priest there, Aaron, and the other high priests, were the ones who had the Name written (where?) on their foreheads, in addition to the Name over the Most Holy Place in the Angel of the Lord.

And now, Christ coming to His Church, the Angel of the Covenant, and ministering through His Angel Messenger in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple: will write in the forehead of His Angel Messenger, in and through whom He (Christ) will operate as High Priest ministering in the Most Holy Place of His Church; and since the high priest had the Name of God written on his forehead, the promise that Christ has made: “…and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name,” corresponds to the one who will enter the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ and will be ministering there; who is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom Christ, the High Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven, will be ministering in the midst of His Church.

And Christ, notice, has that Eternal Name of God, New Name that He received, and now He will place it upon the Overcomer; who will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will be the instrument of Christ, for Christ through Him to minister in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and to call and gather the last elect, and to pronounce the Eternal Name of God and New Name of Jesus Christ, and thus to bless the heavenly Israel and then the earthly Israel.

Notice, it is from the Temple of God that the psalmist says that God blesses us; and it is from the Temple of God and in the Temple of God that God has been blessing all those who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. From age to age, the blessing has been (where?) in the Temple of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And that is the place of worship, where all the elect of God are called and gathered from age to age, to worship God through the different stages or ages.

Now, notice, it says, the Lord continues to say here:²⁴

“Now, the pla-… The thing I want to speak about this morning is that God has only one place that the worshipper can meet God, only one place (in other words, with God). Through the ages many has sought for this secret place of God, through all the ages. Even Job wanted to know where He lived at, ‘If I could only go to His house and knock at His door.’ Job wanted to find God’s dwelling place, ’cause there God and His family is worshipped together.”

Now, His Family is His Church; that is where His Family worships God. And, let’s see, this was page 9 of the message “God’s only provided place of worship.” And on page 15, let’s see what it tells us here; it says [pages 12-13, paragraphs 78-79]:²⁵

“But now we hear Him say there is only one place where He will meet man to worship (in other words, people will not be able to worship where they want to worship: it has to be in the House of God). We read it right here in the text. We’ll refer to it, back, in a few minutes.

Then if there’s only one place that God meets man, we had better be very careful. Now let’s lay aside our traditions this morning, and… in this Sunday-school lesson, and be very sure that we find that one place. Because, God has said here, He will not receive you in any other place. Any other church, He won’t receive you in. Only in His Church, it’s the only place He’ll receive you.”

That is why people who believe in Christ as our Savior, and wash their sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit: are born (where?) in the House of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they worship God there; and that is where the Name of God is. And the Name of God is in the House of God, in the Most Holy Place of His Temple, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; and in the high priest of the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, which is type and figure of Christ for the Last Day manifesting Himself in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, entering there to minister through His Angel Messenger.

Therefore, just as He promised that He would write His Name upon the Overcomer… Just as He wrote it – it was written upon the forehead of the high priest, the Eternal Name of God and the New Name of Jesus Christ will also be written on the instrument that Christ uses to enter the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple; in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Most Holy Place of that Temple. He said: “I will write upon him the Name of my God, and the Name of the City of my God, and my New Name.” It is a promise of Christ.

Now, we can see that where the Angel of the Covenant is, the Angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ Himself coming in Holy Spirit and manifesting Himself through His Angel Messenger: there will be the Eternal Name of God and New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord brings it, and He will write it upon the Overcomer, upon His instrument.

And no one will know that mystery, but he who receives it, that is, the Angel who will receive it. And he will know it, and he will do everything that Christ tells him to carry out in the Work relevant to the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ; and with that Name he will bless the heavenly Israel and the earthly Israel too!, thus he will bless the people!

Notice how the one who was to bless, Aaron, had to have the Name of God; and he had it (where?) written on his forehead. And notice how it was in the house of God that the Name of God was in the most holy place, and on the high priest.

Now, we have seen this mystery, but that is as far as we are going to go. There are many other places that we can read and we can show you; but I think that what we have heard is enough; but if you need something else, the forerunner says that this will be the Name of the Bride as well, in other words, the Church of Jesus Christ. That is around page 356; let’s read that one, it says [The Ages, page 354]:²⁶

“‘And I will write my NEW Name upon him.’ My New Name. When ALL becomes new, then He will take upon Him a new Name and that Name will be the Name of the bride also. What that Name is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it.”

And for a revelation to come, revealing the New Name of the Lord, there must be a prophet on Earth; because the Word comes to the prophets. “The Lord will do nothing, except He first reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets.”²⁷ And the revelation of this New Name is contained in the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, who is the one who comes with that name which no one understands.

“But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the day when He desires to give that Name forth.”

In other words, there is one day, and “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years.”²⁸ That day is the seventh day before God, which for human beings is the seventh millennium.

“Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine.”

And we have already entered into this; and now, to come out of here, we are going to have to read what Isaiah says, chapter 65, verse 15 and 16, where it says:

“That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.”

And what does this mean?

Page 373 and 374 of the book The Ages says (Jesus) [page 372]:²⁹

“Revelation 3:14, ‘These things saith the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God.’

(He says) My, isn’t that the most wonderful description of the attributes of our lovely Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ?”

And further on, he says:

“Jesus is giving us this description of Himself in relation to the last age. The days of grace are winding up. He has looked from the first century right through to the twentieth, and told us all things concerning these ages. Before He reveals the characteristics of the last age to us, He gives us one final look at His own gracious and supreme Deity. This is the capstone revelation of Himself.”

The revelation in the Church ages: the first revelation of Christ in the Church ages was in Saint Paul, the second in Irenaeus, the third in Martin, the fourth in Columba, the fifth in Luther, the sixth in Wesley and the seventh in the Reverend William Branham. And now, for the Last Day, the final revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation of the Amen; that is the final revelation of Jesus Christ.

And now, notice what he goes on to say:

“Thus saith the ‘AMEN.’ Jesus is the Amen of God. Jesus is the ‘So Let It Be’ of God. Amen stands for finality. It stands for approval. It stands for prevailing promise. It stands for unchanging promise. It stands for the seal of God.

I want you to watch this carefully now and see something really sweet and beautiful. I said this is His end-time revelation of Himself. When the day of grace closes, then the millennium comes very shortly thereafter, doesn’t it? Well, read with me Isaiah 65:16-19. ‘That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.’ This is about New Jerusalem. This is the millennium. But as we go into the millennium, hear what He says about being a certain kind of God, verse 16, ‘That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth.’ Yes, that is true, but the real translation is not ‘God of truth.’ It is ‘God of the AMEN.’ So we read it, ‘Shall bless himself in the God of the AMEN; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of the AMEN; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from My eyes.’ (…) Here is Jehovah of the Old Testament, ‘the God of the Amen.’ Here is Jesus of the New Testament, ‘the God of the Amen.’ Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is ONE God. There it is again, the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New.”

And here we can see that, for the Millennial Kingdom and for all of eternity, the blessing for the Hebrew people and for the Church of Jesus Christ and for all who live on Earth will be in the Name of the God of the Amen: in the Eternal Name of God and New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have seen this mystery of THE ONE WHO BLESSES AND THE WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING.

He who blesses, blesses in the Eternal Name of God (which is the Jehovah of the Old Testament and Jesus of the New Testament), in the name YHWH, which will be revealed for the Last Day because it will be manifested by the Angel of the Covenant in the end time in His Church, in the Most Holy Place of His Church, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; and He will place it upon the Overcomer, as He has promised; and that will be the Name for the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity, for the blessing of the earthly Israel and also of the heavenly Israel; because that is the New Name of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and Eternal Name of God, of our heavenly Father.

Now, we have seen this mystery of the Name of God, although there are things that due to lack of time have not been said; but we could spend the whole week and the whole month talking about this mystery, and we wouldn’t finish. But also, in less than twelve words, we could speak something wherein everything would be made known; but God doesn’t reveal His mysteries unless He brings the whole scriptural basis from the Old Testament, because every revelation brought by a messenger of God must have a foundation.

And that is the revelation for the Last Day, in the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, in and to His Temple, to His spiritual House, the dwelling place for Jesus Christ, where He has promised to place His Name; both in His Temple as a Church and also in His temple, His instrument that He will be using in the Last Day, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. No wonder John the apostle wanted to worship him twice! Well, and there we leave it.

The manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ for the Last Day as the Amen, through His Angel Messenger, will be a manifestation of the Eternal Name of God and New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to bless the heavenly Israel (His Church) first and then to bless the Hebrew people. Without that Name there is no blessing; it is the New Name of Jesus Christ and the Eternal Name of God.

It has been a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, giving testimony of THE WHO BLESSES AND THE WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING.

He who blesses, blesses in the Name of God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, YHWH; and he also is blessed. And the one who receives the blessing, the Church of Jesus Christ and later the Hebrew people, believe it with all their soul and every blessing that is spoken under the Name of God, the Name that He will be using in the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity, materializes in them. That is the New Name of Jesus Christ and Eternal Name of God.

Now we have seen that the mystery of the New Name and Eternal Name of God and New Name of Jesus Christ, it comes from the Old Testament as a thread of divine thought, so that in the Last Day that divine purpose will be fulfilled and that mystery of the Eternal Name of God and New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be revealed.

Those who have the books of Reverend William Branham can read on page 130, and 131, and 134, and 146, and 185, and 186, and 277, and 295, and also page 469…³⁰ I am going to read as a preview page 256, where it says (in a portion here, it says) [The Seals]:³¹

“¹⁹⁶ But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse (That is Revelation 19). And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”

And there will be only one man on Earth in whom Christ can come manifested in the Last Day in human flesh, as He came manifested in every angel messenger of every age. That man will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

The first angel messenger of Jesus Christ for His Church that comes with a dispensational ministry; and therefore, God will be using him, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant will be using him, to place there that ministry that enters into the Most Holy Place, where Christ as High Priest will be manifested in His Church, in the Most Holy Place of His Church, to bless His Church, speaking the Eternal Name of God and His New Name. That is what Christ will be doing as High Priest in His Church in the Last Day, and He will do that Work through His Angel Messenger in this end time.

And that is why the blessing comes from Zion, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, from the Most Holy Place of the House of God; where the Eternal Name of God and New Name of Jesus Christ would be on the Mercy Seat of the House of God, of the Church of Jesus Christ, and on the forehead of the one upon whom He would write that Name, who will have the ministry of the Last Day.

As it was reflected in past times: the ministry of high priest, the high priest was the one who had it written on his forehead. And that is why Christ, ministering as High Priest in His Church in the Most Holy Place, will place It upon the Overcomer; but Christ is the High Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven, He is our Melchizedek; but we are all (what?) priests of God, and kings too. Christ has made us kings and priests.³²

Now, it will be the first occasion in which Christ will manifest Himself in the Most Holy Place. He manifested Himself through every messenger, Christ the High Priest; because the High Priest ministers in the outer court, He also ministers in the holy place and ministers in the most holy place; thus the high priest ministered. And Christ is the High Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven, and He is also the one who ministers through His messengers in His Church; He already ministered in the Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and now He has to minister in the Most Holy Place.

And that is why in the most holy place is where the man who had (the what?) the Name of God written on his forehead entered; he was the high priest in that temple, where God manifested Himself and manifested His Name.

We have seen this mystery of God’s blessing for His people.

We have seen THE ONE WHO BLESSES, which is Christ through His messengers from age to age; and at this time He is the one who blesses through His Angel Messenger, in the Most Holy Place. AND THE WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING, for we are here present: a group in El Salvador, and in different places of Latin America and the Caribbean, being blessed in the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, because that is the Eternal Name of God.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me also; and may soon the number of God’s elect be completed; and may soon the dead in Christ resurrect and we who are alive be transformed, and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

“HE WHO BLESSES AND THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE BLESSING.”

We are going to have here again our friend and brother Miguel Bermudez Marin, to continue and finish our part on this occasion, thanking Jesus Christ our beloved Savior, who is blessing us in this end time in His House, His Church. Where? In the Age of the Cornerstone.

Well, let’s leave Miguel here; because if we start to talk again about other little things, we have to go back to the foundation, which is the Scripture, and it would take us a little more time. But with what you have already heard, you know where the secret of the blessing of Jesus Christ for this end time is; and you know that it is in the House of God, and you know in what age is where Christ pours out that blessing upon His Church: in the Age of the Cornerstone.

May God bless you, may God keep you, and may you all have a wonderful night.

With us again Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin to continue and finish.

God bless you and keep you all.

“THE ONE WHO BLESSES AND THE ONE WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING.”
