Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you here in Austin, Texas, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program for this Last Day.
For this occasion, we have the reading of the Scripture in chapter 29 of Genesis, beginning on verse 16 up to verse 28, and it says as follows:
“And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.”
“THE SEVEN YEARS OF WORK FOR HIS WIFE.”
In this biblical passage, which is historical (it pertains to Jacob’s life), we find that Jacob worked for his wife Rachel for seven years, and they didn’t give him Rachel, but rather, they gave him Leah, without him realizing it; although he married Rachel, but they changed his wife and they gave him Leah; and he had to work seven more years to get Rachel, the young woman he loved.
Now, this teaches us what the love of a man for a woman is, what the love of a young man for his girlfriend is, who is willing to strive and work on behalf of his girlfriend in order to marry her.
This also shows us Christ’s love for us.
Here we find that Christ has been working in seven ages in the Dispensation of the Law. The last age, we find that it was the time of John the Baptist, and John the Baptist was the messenger of that seventh age; and then Christ appeared, the Messiah, who was rejected.
And then we find that John the Baptist, when they came to him to tell him that the one of whom he had testified, that is, Jesus, now did more miracles, and more people followed Him than they did him, and baptized more people than John the Baptist… Notice here the passage of John, chapter 3, verse 22 to 30; it says:
“After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized (in other words, Jesus was the one who came with His disciples to the land of Judaea, and He was there with them, and baptized).
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Here we can see the Bridegroom; the friend of the Bridegroom, which is John the Baptist, and the Bridegroom, which is Christ; and here we can see the Hebrew people, or among the Hebrew people the people who were believing in Jesus and who would come to form part of the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, in other words, of the Wife of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because the Wife of the Lord Jesus Christ is His Church. That is why in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 7 and on, it says:
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Now we can see that blessed are those who are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will take place in Heaven, in the House of our heavenly Father.
Those people are the ones who come to form part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, who are called and gathered from age to age. And in this end time God calls and gathers His last elect, and prepares them to be transformed and raptured and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And He will resurrect the dead in Christ in eternal bodies and He will also take them to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father.
Christ said: “In my Father’s House there are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have said it before; therefore I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, you may also be,” for all to be in the House of our heavenly Father for all eternity reigning with Christ. John, chapter 14, contains that passage where He said: “In my Father’s House there are many mansions.”
Now, we can see that Christ has been working both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament to obtain His Wife, His beloved Wife, which is His Church, represented in Rachel.
Now we can see that there is an earthly Israel, the Hebrew people, which came from Jacob through his wives and the servants of his wives; and we also have the heavenly Israel, we have the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, His beloved Church, for which He has been working to obtain her and live with her for the Millennium and for all eternity.
Now, the sons and daughters of God have been coming through His Church and the heavenly Israel has been forming, just as through the Hebrew people we find that the firstborn nation of God has been formed. You see, it was through Jacob through Rachel, Leah and their servants.
Now we can see that it is a Divine Program, which was reflected in the prophet and patriarch Jacob. Even Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, after he had already obtained his beloved wife Rachel, and all of Jacob’s children except Benjamin were born. Now, all his children were born in gentile land except Benjamin.
Now we can see that when Jacob came with his family from Padanaram to the promised land, he encountered God, he encountered the Angel of the Lord and he wrestled with the Angel of the Lord; for later he had to meet with his brother Esau, who had said that when his father died he was going to kill him, because he had robbed him of the birthright blessing.
And now Jacob comes very fearful, knowing that his brother is expecting him with about 400 or 450 soldiers; and Jacob knew that there was danger, and he prayed to God; and it says in chapter 32, verse 22 and on [Genesis]:
“And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.”
Here we can see this wonderful experience that Jacob had in a difficult time for his life, where there was much danger for Jacob, but he encountered God, who was in His theophanic body, called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord; and he wrestled with Him, and he held on tightly to the Angel until he received God’s blessing.
Now we can see that we must strive for God’s blessing. We must always strive for God’s blessing, so that it may be poured out on us and materialize in us.
Now notice how this that happened to Jacob is what will be happening with the earthly Israel, the Hebrew people, the earthly Jacob, and it will also be happening with the spiritual Israel. The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says1:
“But we find out now, that Israel, in that time of trouble, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the… that got a hold of Something that was real. There was a Man come down. Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the—and the—the Fellow said, ‘I must be going now. It’s coming daylight.’ Oh, that breaking-of-the-day! See? It was fixing to come day.
But Jacob said, ‘I—I’m not going to leave You. You, You can’t go. I’m going to stay right with You.’ See? ‘I want things changed here.’ That’s that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money-scheming bunch, and things like that, when they see the true, genuine thing to get a hold of. There stands Moses, and there stands Elijah. Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the twelve tribes of Israel are called out right there.
That’s just before the Tribulation period, see, (oh how wonderful) also, ‘Jacob’s trouble.’ Here is when the hundred and forty-four thousand is called out. They, the—the preachers, them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist. ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel!’ Repent what? ‘Repent from your sins, your unbelief, and turn back to God!’”
Now we can see how Jacob’s case, thousands of years ago, will be repeated in this Last Day when the Hebrew people encounter the Angel of the Covenant manifested in this time; and Moses and Elijah will be there, to carry out the work of the Last Day.
Now we can see that what was represented on that occasion when Jacob wrestled until morning, until sunrise, he wrestled with the Angel of the Lord, will be fulfilled for this end time; and the Angel had to leave, just like He will have to leave for this Last Day.
He will be on Earth manifested in His Church. He has been in His Church manifested in every angel messenger from age to age, and in this Last Day He will be manifested in His Angel Messenger; but He will have to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.
But before He leaves, Jacob will have that encounter with the Angel of the Lord, manifested in the Last Day in His Angel Messenger; and this happens just before the great tribulation begins, says the Reverend William Branham on page 359 of the book of The Seals in Spanish2.
Now we can see that this Angel of the Covenant will be in the midst of His Church, manifested through His Angel Messenger, carrying out the Work for the Last Day; and He is the only one who can bless the Hebrew people. But first the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ encounters this Angel of the Covenant manifested in His Angel Messenger, just as the Church of Jesus Christ has encountered the manifestation of this Angel of the Covenant in each angel messenger from age to age.
The greatest manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant in the midst of His Church will be in His Angel Messenger, of whom He says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” (Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16).
He sends him to testify of all these things that must take place in this Last Day.
That is also why in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, it says (with that Voice of Trumpet): “Come up hither, and I will show you the things that will come to pass after these”; in other words, the things that will happen in the Last Day, after those that have already happened during these seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.
Notice that after Jacob had worked seven years for Rachel, and then he had to work seven more years (and he had to work for his cattle too), then when he returned to the promised land, he encountered the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant.
After the seven ages of the Hebrew Church and after the seven ages of the gentile Church, the heavenly Israel and earthly Israel (the Hebrew people) encounter the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is the Melchisedec of the Old Testament and is the Angel of the Lord of the Old Testament, who will be manifested in the midst of His Church in the ministry pertaining to the Last Day in the Age of the Cornerstone.
Now notice that the Age of the Cornerstone is the Age of Rejoicing, for it is the Age of the Marriage.
Remember, when Jacob worked seven years, then came the marriage, in other words, in the eighth year. And now, we find that for this end time, after the seven ages of the gentile Church, the Marriage of the Lamb comes and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb comes, where we are taken by Christ to the House of our heavenly Father, for that great reception or marriage feast of Christ with His Church, where He will give to His Church the rewards for the work we have done in His Work.
Now we can see that we are living in the Last Day, which pertains to year number eight, which is the Year of Jubilee, the Marriage Year for Christ and His Church.
We are living in the most glorious time of all times. We are living in the time where Jacob’s seven years of working for his wife have already been completed.
The first seven years have been completed and the last or second seven years or have also been completed: the seven ages of the Hebrew Church under the Law have been completed and the seven ages of the gentile Church have been completed; and we have reached the Age of the Cornerstone, represented in the eighth year, which is the Marriage Year. For which the Bridegroom, who is Christ, must be manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone.
The forerunner of the First Coming of Christ said that he who has the Bride is the Bridegroom; and He was in the Age of the Cornerstone back then: Jesus.
And now, for this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, Christ the Husband or Bridegroom of His Church is the one who will have the Church-Bride, His Wife, the Wife of the Lamb.
He will not be under any other messenger of the seven ages of the gentile Church, but rather, in the Age of the Cornerstone, He will be under the ministry of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in the Last Day through His Angel Messenger. It is the Angel of the Covenant, who descends from Heaven wrapped in a cloud to manifest Himself on Earth in the midst of His Church through His Angel Messenger.
In Revelation, chapter 10, we see the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven, and the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ in relation to His Coming said on page 57 of the book of The Seals3:
“‘…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…’
If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.
‘…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:…’
You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”
Now, notice how this Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, comes directly to the Hebrew people in the Last Day; but since His gentile Church has come to an end and the seven ages of the gentile Church have ended, He comes for His Church; and He calls her and gathers her in the Age of the Cornerstone, and gives her the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured; revelation that revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work. With that revelation is that all the elect of God are called and gathered in this Last Day.
And that is Jacob’s encounter with the Angel of the Covenant manifested through His Angel Messenger. First the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the heavenly Israel, has that encounter with the Angel of the Covenant which descends from Heaven and manifests Himself on Earth through His Angel Messenger in human flesh; and after the gentile Church of Jesus Christ has this experience, the Hebrew people will have it.
Now notice, in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 to 21, we find a Rider on a white horse, which comes from Heaven, which is Christ in His Coming; He comes for His Church and to His Church in this Last Day. The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 131 of the book of The Seals4:
“And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing. It’ll be revealed in the Thunders.
Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’ Now, notice, ‘No man knowed, but Hisself.’
‘And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God.
Oh, my! Notice!
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’
Revelation 19:13-16
There comes the Messiah. There He is.”
Now, what does the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ present to us here? The Second Coming of Christ, on a snow-white horse.
And now, on page 256, of the book of The Seals as well, the Reverend William Branham says5:
“But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
The Word of God incarnate in a man; and that man must be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom (that is, seventh dispensational prophet) with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom (which is the seventh dispensational Message), which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah; just as the Message of Grace revolves around the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world there on Calvary’s Cross.
Now we can see this mystery pertaining to this Last Day, which was reflected in Jacob’s life.
Now we can see how Christ, being the firstborn Son of God, when He ascended to Heaven He received a new name. We can also see that Jacob, with the encounter of the Angel, received a new name.
For the Hebrew people there is also the promise of a new name that they will receive, which the mouth of the Lord will name6. The mouth of God is always God’s prophets. Therefore, through God’s mouth of the Last Day, the Hebrew people will receive that new name; for he is, as a nation, the firstborn people of God. And since Jacob received a name change when he encountered the Angel of the Lord, it will also happen to the Hebrew people.
And now, we can see that the Angel of the Covenant, which is Jesus Christ, two thousand years ago came with the name Jesus, to carry out the Work of Redemption; but He received a new name when He ascended victorious to Heaven.
And for His Second Coming, Revelation says, chapter 2, verse 17: “To him that overcomes, I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a little white Stone, and on the little Stone a new name written, which no one understands but he who receives it.” That name which no man knows, but he who receives it, is the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are people who don’t know that Jesus Christ has a new name. Did Jesus Christ ever say that? In Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12, He testifies of that mystery of the New Name of the Lord. It 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.”
It is Christ who says that He has a new name. And if He says so, who will contradict our Lord Jesus Christ? And now, He says that that name will be written upon the Overcomer.
For the Last Day there will be an overcomer in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Age of the Marriage of the Lamb, the Age of the Great Marriage Feast with His Church, where He will reveal to her the mystery of His New Name.
Now we can see that the Second Coming of Christ as the Stone, the little white Stone with a new name that no one understands…, Stone that was also seen by the prophet Daniel and the king Nebuchadnezzar: The Stone not cut out of hands that came from the Mount of God and smote the image on the feet of iron and clay; that image or statue that represents the kingdom of the gentiles, which the king Nebuchadnezzar and the prophet Daniel saw; which had the head of gold, which represented the Babylonian empire, in which Nebuchadnezzar was the king…
Nebuchadnezzar was the king, and that is why Daniel said to him7: “You are the head of gold.” Then, that statue also had the chest and arms of silver – that statue also had the chest and arms of silver, which represents the Medo-Persian empire; and it also had the belly and thighs of bronze, which represents the empire of Greece, with Alexander the Great; and it also had the legs of iron, which is the Roman empire, and the feet of iron and clay (in other words, the fourth stage of the kingdom of the gentiles is represented in the legs of iron and the feet of iron and clay). We have had those empires.
The Roman empire was in the time of John the Baptist and Jesus, that is, the legs of iron; and that is why Christ did not destroy the Roman empire, He did not destroy the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw; because the destruction of the image of the feet of iron and clay – or the destruction of that image pertains to the stage of the feet of iron and clay, which is the stage relevant to this Last Day, where the antichrist will be ruling the kingdom of the gentiles, with the ten kings who will give their power and authority to the beast, according to Revelation, chapter 17, verse 11 to 18.
And we find that this is the stage where there will be a confrontation and where the kingdom of the gentiles will try to do the same thing that it did in the First Coming of Christ; but the Bible prophesies the victory of Christ. In chapter 17, verse 11 and on, it says:
“And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Now we can see that confrontation there will be, and we can see that Jesus Christ in His Coming in this Last Day will be as King of kings and Lord of lords; and that is why He will obtain the victory, He will overcome them.
In Revelation, chapter 19, we also find that confrontation, in verse 19. It says:
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.”
There we can see the confrontation that will take place between Christ and the antichrist; and according to the Scripture the victory will be obtained by Christ.
That is why in Revelation, chapter 11, verses 15 and on, it tells us:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
There we can see that for this end time comes the time when the Lamb will no longer be on the Throne, in the Seat of Mercy, because He will have finished His Work of Intercession as High Priest, because the number of God’s elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have been completed; and the dead in Christ have the promise of being resurrected in eternal bodies and we who are alive have the promise of being changed.
Therefore, Christ comes out of the Throne of Intercession, makes His claim of all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood, and He will resurrect the dead in Christ and He will transform us who are alive; and thus He will have finished His Work of Intercession. And then, from the Throne of God there will no longer be mercy for the human race, but divine judgment, God’s judgment of the great tribulation, where the plagues of God will be poured out upon the human race.
Now, we can see that the kingdom of the gentiles will be taken away with those divine judgments and the Kingdom of God will be established on this planet Earth, and we will reign with Christ for one thousand years and then for all eternity; because after the great tribulation has passed, which will last three and a half years (in which we will not be here in the great tribulation, but we will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will last three and a half years), after those three and a half years are over we will return to Earth with Christ, with eternal bodies, to reign with Christ for one thousand years and then for all eternity.
There we can see that the Kingdom of God will be established on this planet Earth, Jerusalem will be the capital of the world; there will be the Throne of the Messiah, the Throne of the Lord, which is the Throne of David, which will be occupied by Christ, and Christ will reign over the Hebrew people and over all nations; and we will reign with Him.
Christ said in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 21: “To him that overcomes, I will give him to sit with me on my throne (And why is he going to sit with Christ on His Throne? Well, to reign); just as I overcame, and sat down with my Father on His throne.”
Since Christ died and resurrected and ascended to Heaven, He has been sitting on the Throne of the Father making intercession for all the sons and daughters of God; and likewise, He will sit the Overcomer on His Throne. And His Throne is the Throne of David, which will be occupied by Christ in Jerusalem.
Now we can see the great blessing that there is for that Overcomer and the group that will be living in this end time.
We have reached the end time, where the first seven years Jacob worked for his wife and the other seven years he worked for his wife Rachel are completed. Everything is completed and we are living in the divine cycle of the Marriage, in the divine cycle of Jubilee, the divine cycle of the Age of the Cornerstone. Remember that the marriage year for Jacob was the eighth year, after working seven years for his wife.
And now, Christ has worked during those seven ages of the gentile Church; and now He is in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the year represented in the number eight, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
We have come to the most glorious time of all times: the time of the Marriage of the Lamb; and blessed are those who are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”
Notice how she has been called and gathered from age to age, and she has been growing from age to age until this end time.
And now we have come to the time of joy and rejoicing, where it says: “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”
And blessed are all those who are invited or called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. We are being called and gathered to soon go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father.
And our work in the Lord, which we have done, is not in vain; He will reward each one according to his work. “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His Angels, and then He will reward each one according to his work.” We find that in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27.
And also in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 12, Jesus Christ tells us as follows:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Each person will be rewarded according to his work; that is what His Coming with His Angels for this end time is for.
To the elect the reward will be the transformation of our bodies, for those of us who are alive and remain alive until the dead in Christ are resurrected in eternal bodies.
The reward for the elect who have departed will be the resurrection in eternal bodies and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb to receive the rewards for their works that they have carried out in the age in which they lived in the Divine Program.
And we have the greatest rewards to be received by all of us for this end time. And when we are at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, He will give the reward to each of you and to me also for all that we have worked in His Work.
Because our work in the Lord is not in vain, says the apostle Saint Paul8. And Jesus Himself said: “Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to reward every man according to his work.” (Revelation 22, verse 12).
We have come to the most glorious time of all times, where we have seen Jacob’s seven years of work for his wife, which represents the years or ages of Christ’s work for His Wife, for His Church.
May the blessings of Christ be upon all of you and upon me as well, and may the number of God’s elect soon be completed, and may we all soon 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.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you tonight, testifying to you of THE SEVEN YEARS OF JACOB’S WORK FOR HIS WIFE.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren radio listeners, and those present here.
I leave Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with us again, to give the addresses and telephone numbers to the kind listeners, so that the kind listeners may call or write, requesting literature or tapes or videos with conferences similar to this one, to obtain greater knowledge of all of the Program of God relevant to this end time.
With us the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin to continue and give you the telephone numbers and addresses, kind listeners. Have a pencil and paper ready to write down the addresses and telephone numbers.
God bless you, and have a good night.
“THE SEVEN YEARS OF WORK FOR HIS WIFE.”
