Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present here in Lima, Peru. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Divine Program relevant for this end time.
For which I want to read in the book of Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, and also in Genesis, chapter 9, verse 9 to 17. It says in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on:
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer…”
May God bless His Word in our souls and allow us to understand It.
(We will read the passage from Genesis, chapter 9, in a few moments).
In this passage which we have read we have seen a Mighty Angel descending from Heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with the rainbow around His head; and His face was like the sun and His feet like pillars of fire; and He had in His hand a little Book open; and He put His right foot on the sea and the left on the earth. This Angel is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE RAINBOW, SIGN OF GOD’S COVENANT.”
In this passage we see this Angel descend from Heaven with the rainbow around His head, and we see Him with a little Book open in His hand.
In Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1 and on, it says:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”
Here too we see, around the Throne, a rainbow.
And then, we find in Genesis, chapter 9, and verses 9 and on (9 to 17), it says… this was after the flood, when Noah and his family came out of the ark; it says:
“And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
Now, notice how the rainbow is the sign of the Covenant established by God with Noah and his family and the animals that came out of the ark, for the descendants of Noah and descendants of those animals and birds that came out of the ark, which escaped the judgment of the flood.
Now notice how God places the rainbow over the clouds as a sign of the Covenant. Why? Because God has a rainbow around His Throne.
And now, we find God on His Throne in Revelation, chapter 4:
“And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”
There we have Him with the rainbow around the Throne.
And in Revelation, chapter 5, verse 1 and on, it says:
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”
In other words, the one who is sitting on the Throne (where the rainbow is around the Throne) has a Book sealed with seven seals, in other words, the Book of the Seven Seals; and the time came for that Book to be taken from the right hand of Him who is sitting on the Throne and be opened; and that time could not be allowed to pass.
“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.”
Now notice, this Book sealed with seven seals is the Title Deed of the Heavens and of the Earth, it is the Book of Redemption; and now, this Book, for that moment there, had to be taken from the right hand of the one who is sitting on the Throne and be opened.
Adam had this Title Deed of the Heavens and of the Earth, because God gave it to Adam, but when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden (Adam and Eve), it returned to God’s hands, to God’s hand; and it has been there until this time of Revelation, chapter 5, is fulfilled.
And that’s where Christ ends His Work of Redemption in Heaven, His Work of Intercession in Heaven, because the number of God’s elect will already be completed, the number of the Mystical Body of Christ will already be completed; and then Christ finishes His work as Intercessor, as High Priest in Heaven, and He becomes the Judge of all the Earth; He finishes His Work there because the last of God’s elect has already entered His Mystical Body of believers, and then Christ finishes His Work of Intercession and makes His claim: He takes the Book from the right hand of Him who sits on the Throne (which contains the names of all the elect of God, redeemed by the Blood of Christ) and makes the claim of all that He has redeemed with His Blood; and therefore, He in His claim will bring the dead in Christ, will resurrect them in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be transformed at this end time. This is so because we are under the Divine Covenant, under the Blood of Christ.
And from age to age, a color of the rainbow of the Divine Covenant has been manifested in each age or stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is contained in thisdiagram; in other words,this diagram represents the Church of Jesus Christ going through its different stages.
William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, used this diagram in different messages, such as “The stature of a perfect man”; and herewe have the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church and then we have the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.
Since the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a spiritual Temple, as the Scripture tells us…, let’s see in Ephesians and also in Hebrews… Ephesians, chapter 2, Saint Paul says there that the Church is a temple that God is building; chapter 2, verse 19 to 22, 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.”
Being that the Church of Jesus Christ is a temple that grows as it is being built…; just like a building: it grows as it is being built.
When they build the first floor or level, it grew; let’s say, it grew about 3 to 4 meters. And then, when they build the second floor or second level, it grows more, it grows from 3 to 4 more meters; and then it is already about 6 to 8 meters tall – in height. And so, as each stage is built, it grows, until it becomes the perfect building that was designed to be built in that place.
And God made the design of His Church, of that spiritual Temple, and He did it since before the Creation, He did it since before the foundation of the world. That spiritual Temple, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, which is a temple for God’s dwelling in Holy Spirit in all His fullness, but as it is being built it obtains the first fruits of the Spirit; but when it is completely built, then it will receive the fullness.
When receiving the first fruits, this is when the person believes in Christ as his Savior and washes away his sins in the Blood of Christ and receives the Spirit of Christ: the person has obtained the first fruits of the Spirit, and there he has obtained a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
If the person dies physically, he has no problem: he will go to live in Paradise with that body he has received when he obtained the new birth; and then on the day of the resurrection, which is in the seventh millennium, in one of the years of the seventh millennium… Because Christ said, speaking of the believers in Him, He said:“…and I will raise him up(when?) at the last day,1”and the Last Day is the seventh millennium.
Therefore, those who have died but have believed in Christ as their Savior and washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit, have no problem; they are very happy living in Paradise.
And that is a place that has trees, it has rivers, it has animals, it has fish, it has birds; in other words, there is no problem there.
And it doesn’t have some things that we have here: it doesn’t have the pollution that the big cities have, it doesn’t have the pollution in the waters, it doesn’t have the economic problems that the nations of the planet Earth have, they don’t have the wars that the nations of the planet Earth have, they don’t have the diseases that are disseminated by the different nations over the human race and they don’t have the devil loose there, in God’s Paradise; in other words, the devil is not even there; and that’s why there are no diseases, there are no problems, there are no wars. That’s a place for rest, to rest.
And when the person departs from here, well, he goes on vacation. If the relatives left here on Earth realized that what has happened is that they went on vacation to a quiet place, God’s Paradise…; and that is the best place there is to go on vacation.
Now, how many would like to go and take a vacation for some time there? It seems no one wants to go there, right? And being so good. Why? Because the ones that are left here… When they come back from their vacation, they’ll come back brand new.
Like when people come back from their vacation and have gone to a place where there are no problems. But if they go to a place where there are a lot of problems, they come saying: “It would have been better not to have gone to that place on this vacation of mine. My vacations were ruined in that place I went.” But if they go to a good place, they come even younger, well rested; and those who receive them say to them: “Those vacations were good for you. You’ve arrived new.”
And when we see them come back, we’re going to see them brand new: of 18 to 21 years old in the new body.
But it seems you just don’t want to go there on vacation, do you? It is that you are working people and you don’t want vacations: you want to continue working in the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ on this planet Earth. They can no longer be working, they are on vacation.
Now we are the ones who are working here, because we have been given the Age of the Cornerstone.
Those who were intheseages have already gone on vacation. And there are still some who have not gone on vacation yet, who belong to thisage; but, if you want to go on vacation, you can go if you want.
The work that there is here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, that work will be taken care of by Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger and the people of that age.
Now, we’re not going on vacation; we’re still young. Thisis a young age; and we still have much courage and much strength and much divine love to serve Christ all the days of our life. And we don’t want to be resurrected but rather, be transformed being in this mortal body.
That’s why we don’t want to go to Paradise, although here on Earth there are so many problems; but God helps us, and we evolve, and we are not complaining about the problems here on Earth.
Christ said in His prophetic Word that it would be so in this end time, when He said that as it was in the days of Noah, so would be the days when the Son of Man would be manifested. Therefore, we do not have to be complaining that the world situation is in such a deteriorated state, because Christ said it would be so.
But the great thing about this time although it is bad, the great and good is that they are the days of the Coming of the Son of Man; that is the good part, and that is the good part for us.
And He said that for this time is that the Great Voice of Trumpet would be calling and gathering all the elect of God; and that Great Voice of Trumpet is the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which 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.
We are living in the most glorious time for all of us, but it is also the most terrible time for the human race; but for us it is the best.
Now, we are living in the time when… just as there was a color of the rainbow manifested in every age, which speaks of the Covenant of Christ, of God, for His people, His Church and every individual of His Church; and it was only one color, and half a circle of that color; but now… notice, hereare the seven colors, but they form only one arc, they do not form the whole circle; buthere in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Throne,hereare the seven colors of the rainbow around the Age of the Cornerstone; not an arc, but a full circle, around the Age of the Cornerstone, with the seven colors of the rainbow manifested.
And now, in each of the ages of the gentile Church, being that there was a color of the rainbow manifested…, and there was a messenger through whom Christ was manifesting Himself, and He was confirming His Covenant in each age to His Church and to each member of the Mystical Body of Christ written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; there was also a territory where each one of those ages and each color of the rainbow was fulfilled:
Asia Minor, France; after France, Hungary; after Hungary, Scotland and Ireland; and after Ireland and Scotland, Germany; and after Germany, England; and after England, North America.
And what’s left for us? Did all those nations keep the seven colors of the rainbow? Well, in their ages each one was left with a color; and not the whole circle, but an arc, that is, half a circle.
But then what? They didn’t leave anything for us? Well, those nations are not the ones that decide what would be ours, but the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, who was the One who designed that Program of and for the construction of that spiritual Temple.
And the good and great and wonderful news for Latin American and Caribbean people is that God left the best of His Business, the best of His Work, for this Last Day; and He left the seven colors of the rainbow in a complete circle for the Last Day for the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, where is the Age of the Cornerstone being fulfilled? Well, in the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
The seven colors of the rainbow in a complete circle, manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone, are on the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
And that’s why Christ calls and gathers His elect in this end time under the seven colors of the rainbow, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and that’s why we have the promise that, if we remain alive until the dead in Christ are resurrected, we will be transformed, even while we are alive.
And that’s something that hasn’t happened in the seven ages of the gentile Church. Why? Because they only had one color of the rainbow, and of that color only half of a circle, which is an arc. But now, in the Age of the Cornerstone, we have the whole rainbow; not half of a circle, but the whole circle, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And the Age of the Cornerstone is being fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean; therefore, Latin America and the Caribbean also has the opportunity to enter, under the Divine Covenant, to enter the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, without Latin America and the Caribbean seeing death
And when I say “without Latin America and the Caribbean seeing death”, this is Latin America and the Caribbean without being destroyed.
Now, if the coasts have problems, then when the moment of danger arrives they should move away from the coasts; because there will be tsunamis and there will be earthquakes and there will be volcanoes, and all that will cause some problems in some nations of Latin America, mainly on the coasts; but, as long as they see danger, well people try to escape; but that is already something individual, of each person.
Now, each person: let him escape for his life and let him know that for this end time all these things will be happening; but the responsibility falls on each person.
I can’t say to anyone: “Do this or do that.” Each person sees what is best for him, because each person has free will. I tell you the things that will be happening in this end time, and each of you do your best for your life and your family.
Now, we have seen that this Divine Covenant appears around the Throne of God in Heaven, and God in His right hand has the Book of the Seven Seals; but now Christ (in Revelation, chapter 5) takes that Book sealed with seven seals, opens it in Heaven and then (in Revelation, chapter 10) brings it to Earth. And wherever that Book is, there is the rainbow around the place where that Book is.
And now notice why God reflected the rainbow in Noah’s time, and for Noah and his family; for God said He would put His rainbow, the rainbow, over the clouds: “I will put my rainbow over the clouds2”; because that rainbow is representing the rainbow that is around the Throne of God in Heaven. And if it is around the Throne of God in Heaven, then it is around whom? God.
And now, in Revelation, chapter 10, since Christ has the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, now when the Mighty Angel appears descending from Heaven on the clouds of Heaven, He appears with the rainbow around His head.
In Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 to 31 says:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Here we have the promise of the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, where the Son of Man will be seen wrapped here in the clouds. It says:
“…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
On February 28, 1963 a very important sign appeared in the sky, a mysterious cloud, which was taken in photos and published in North American magazines, such as Lifemagazine (which means ‘Vida’) and Science3magazine, where they testified that it was a mysterious cloud.
Why is it mysterious? Because it appeared 26 miles high, where there is no moisture to form clouds; and if it appears at a height where clouds cannot form because there is no moisture, then it is a mystery that a cloud appears there; and that cloud was about 30 miles wide4, which is a giant cloud.
And what is the mystery of this cloud? Sciencemagazine speaks of colors that were also seen hereinthiscloud. And now, let’s see what this cloud really is.
If it’s not formed by moisture, then what formed this cloud? Science did not know how that cloud was formed, but let’s see what the Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, says, who knew what formed that cloud. It says, on page 469 of the book of The Sealsin Spanish, it says5:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? [Congregation says, ‘Amen.’—Ed.] They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’ You remember that? [‘Amen.’]
Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant, for one time in life!”
Now,thiscloud was not formed by moisture, but rather by angels. They were the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church and another Angel who was very different from the rest, which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is the same Jesus Christ in His theophanic body; not in His body of flesh, but in His theophanic body.
These theophanic bodies are the same and from the same theophanic bodies that we receive when we are born again.
And now hereare the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church, who came to Earth in human flesh and had their ministries (and they appear here, inthiscloud); for the last of the seven angel messengers of the seven ages was the Reverend William Branham, and he was taken by the Angel who was different from the rest, and took him to that cloud. Now, he was not taken in his physical body, but he was taken out of his physical body, taken out in spirit (that is, taken out in his theophanic body) and taken to that cloud.
Allthesemessengers are found in their theophanic bodies; not in physical bodies, but theophanic bodies of the sixth dimension. And of that dimension is the theophanic body of our Lord Jesus Christ, in which He appeared to the prophets of the Old Testament as the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant.
It is the same Angel who wrestled with Jacob, and Jacob did not let Him go, and the Angel said to him: “Let me go, because I have to go now, dawn is already breaking.” And Jacob said to him: “I will not let you go until you bless me.6”
And that’s how you have to hold on to God: hold on to God firmly so that God will bless you, so that He will also know —by that action of oneself— that you are interested in God’s blessing.
There are people who perhaps say: “I want God’s blessing,” but they don’t hold on firmly, with faith, to God, until God blesses them. And we have to hold on to God until we are transformed at this Last Day.
And now, notice howthese angels in their theophanic bodies are like the angels of God, who are also in their theophanic bodies; they are like the angels; they are people who are in a heavenly body, theophanic bodies. And now, of those angels that are there, one was different from the rest.
Look, this is also very important: it appeared like this</em>; but then, if you turn the photo to the right, you will notice that it forms the face of the Lord. And herewe have the angels of the seven ages and herewe have another Angel who is different from the rest, who forms the white hair of the Lord; and the rest form the beard of the Lord.
That’s why you find in the book of Revelation that the Son of Man appears with His face as the sun and His hair white as wool. Let’s see here: in Revelation, chapter 1, verses 13 and on, it says:
“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle(here we find Him with the golden girdle on His chest; therefore He is as Judge, not as High Priest).
His head and his hairs were white like wool…”
There He is, with His white hair like white wool. It is not that, since about two thousand years have passed since Christ left, well, He has grown old and His hair has turned white; no. He does not grow old.
Judges in ancient times, back in England, France and elsewhere, when they were going to carry out a trial or Court trials, they wore a tunic (and judges still wear a tunic) and they wore a white wig, which represented experience, wisdom and authority to give a fair trial to people who were presented before them.
And now, that’s what the white hair of the Lord represents; in other words, this is a symbolism. It is not that the white hair has been put on the Lord Jesus Christ, it’s not that He got old; He doesn’t grow old.
Now, we can see that He appears here, in the sky, in the clouds; herewe can see a cloud or clouds.
And in the Book, in the Bible, it also tells us that the Son of Man will come… Let’s see, we read in Matthew where it says:
“…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
It says “coming in the clouds of heaven.”
And now let’s see how Luke says: in chapter 21, verse 27 and on, it says:
“And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
Now, Matthew says“in the clouds” and Luke says “in a cloud,”but there is no contradiction. The sign of the Son of Man, Christ says that He would be seen where? In heaven.
And now, this mysterious sign, of a cloud in heaven (where the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church are and an Angel who is different from the rest, which is Christ), fulfills that prophecy.
There we have Him “in the clouds”,theseclouds formed by the angel messengers in their theophanic bodies. They are a few clouds that form a giant cloud.
So we can see Him coming “in the clouds”, but we can also see Him“in a cloud”: a cloud formed by each of those clouds, which are the angel messengers. They are clouds of glory, because they are clouds of theophanic bodies of the angel messengers.
Now,here we also have the cloud formed by the Angel who was different from the rest. Now, that Angel is the one who has the Seventh Seal.
And just as theseseven messengers had to come in bodies of flesh to have their ministries, now the Angel that is different from the rest has to come manifested in human flesh to have His ministry relevant to the Age of the Cornerstone; and that Angel is the Angel of the Covenant, it is Christ, who has to come manifested in human flesh in the Last Day.
And being that the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ spoke about this great mystery, let’s see what he said of Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on; here in the book of The Seals, page 57, he says7:
“‘…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 (that Angel we saw with His white hair)? Same thing.”
In other words, this Angel who appears with His white hair, and His garment that reaches His feet, and with a golden girdle on His chest, well, it isthisAngel that descends from Heaven; it is the same one. He says:
“Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel, See?”
Why? Because He is the Angel of the Covenant who delivered the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt; He is that Angel of the Lord, who later came in human flesh, in a veil of flesh called Jesus. The Word, which was with God and was God, became flesh and dwelt among human beings, says John, chapter 1, verse 1 to 18.
“See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured(that is, to be caught away in the clouds to be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb). He comes for His Church.”
Now, look at the great blessing that Reverend William Branham says is coming for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The same Angel of the Covenant that delivered the Hebrew people and took them to the promised land, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Almighty God who was inside the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, there on the ark of the covenant in the midst of the two golden cherubim, then came in human flesh and was known by the name of Jesus.
And for the Last Day that Angel of the Covenant will return, which isthisAngel that is different from the rest, which is foundhereforming the white hair of the face of the Lord; because with His Coming the symbolism of the white hair of the Son of Man is formed or fulfilled.
And now, He comes directly to Israel (the Hebrew people); but since the Church of Jesus Christ is in its end time, where it has to be called and gathered with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, to receive the faith of rapture, the faith to be transformed and raptured (the faith to be transformed and raptured in Heaven, to Heaven), to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, then He comes for His Church; because that Angel of the Covenant is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in His theophanic body.
That’s why Jesus could tell the Hebrew people when He was here on Earth two thousand years ago, He could say these words and He was not lying…; although they said to Jesus: “You are not yet 50 years old, and you say you have seen Abraham?” in other words, “you are lying to us, because you are not 50 years old and Abraham lived more than 1,000 years ago.” Now, John, chapter 8, verse 56 to 58, says:
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.”
And when was that? Remember the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, where three heavenly characters appeared to Abraham? which were Elohim, Gabriel and Michael.
The Elohim, which Abraham invited along with His two companions to a meal, to eat a well-prepared calf, with breads too and other things that accompany a good meal like that… Elohim, who is the same God in His theophanic body, accepted the invitation; for Elohim, God, with His Archangels, had materialized before Abraham; in other words, God created a body from the dust of the earth for Gabriel, another for Michael and another for Himself, to manifest Himself temporarily at that time.
And He was eating with Abraham, discerning the thoughts of Sarah’s heart; and then they arose and went to Sodom and Gomorrah, Gabriel and Michael; but Abraham was still walking with Elohim.
And God said: “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham is going to teach his sons all my ordinances?” Let’s see. Chapter 18, verses 17 and on, or 16 and on, let’s see, it says [Genesis]:
“And the men rose up from thence (that is, when they got up from eating), and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.”
And there Abraham began to intercede for his nephew, who was living in Sodom; meaning, Lot.
“And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein (in that place)?
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”
And then Abraham, since he is interceding mainly for his nephew and his family, begins to lower the number, because perhaps Lot had not multiplied so quickly; and he begins to lower the number, and he says:
“And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous (that is, maybe there are only 45 righteous): wilt thou destroy all the city (that is, for those 5 missing from the 50) for lack of five?”
And what did God say to him?
“And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.”
And then Abraham continued to descend. Then he said to Him: “What if there are only 40?” God says to him: “I will not destroy it for the sake of the 40.”
Then Abraham says to Him: “Maybe there are only 30.” God says to him: “I will not destroy it for the sake of those 30.”
Then Abraham says to Him: “But perhaps there will not be 30, but only 20.” God says to him: “I will not destroy it for the sake of those 20.”
And as the last one, he says… Notice, he was going down 5 by 5 first, and then he was going down 10 by 10; in other words, it was in a staggered manner, descending. And at the end, he says:
“And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there.(God tells him), I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.”
And if Lot had not multiplied, if he had no grandchildren there, the city would perish, Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities; but Lot’s daughters only had boyfriends, they had not yet married; and they were only Lot, his wife, and Lot’s two daughters. How many in total? 4 people.
And now, why did Abraham…? After God told him that he would not destroy the city if there were 10, if He found 10 there, why didn’t Abraham say to Him: “But what if there are only 4 people?” Because God did not forgive the antediluvian world when there were only 8 people; and He took them out in the ark that He commanded him to build, delivered them from destruction by placing them inside the ark and God shutting the door.
In other words, Abraham could not go down from 10, to just 10; neither 9 nor 8. If with 4 persons God did not destroy that city, then He had to resurrect the antediluvians, because they had 8 persons.
Now notice, when Christ died He went to hell and was among those people who lived in the time before the flood, who were disobedient to the Word of God that was being preached by Noah and were unbelievers; they could not believe Noah’s Message, a dispensational prophet with a dispensational Message.
And when Christ went there, He did not go to tell them that He forgave them, but rather, He was preaching to them there, as Saint Peter says, but not for repentance. That is in First Peter, let’s see… First Peter, chapter 3, verse 18 and on, it says:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison…”
To whom? He went and preached to the imprisoned spirits. Where were they? In the fifth dimension, which is hell; and they were, all those people who were disobedient to Noah’s Message, were in their bodies in that dimension.
In other words, the spirit of each person is a body of another dimension, but what in itself is the person is the soul: living soul; it is a soul that lives with and in a spirit (in a body that is called spirit), and also a physical body of this dimension.
And if the physical body of this dimension dies, it continues to live in the other body, and goes to the place where that spiritual body is from; if it is from the fifth dimension, then it goes to the fifth dimension. And that fifth dimension is hell, where all those people who were disobedient to Noah went.
And Christ, why did Christ go there to hell too? Because Christ took our sins; and since the wages of sin is death8, Christ had to die; and then He had to go to hell, because due to sin, the wages of sin is death and go to hell, where God sends them.
But Christ was justified in Spirit and no sin was found in Him, He was justified in the Spirit as if He had never had sin; and He overcame the devil there in hell, took away the keys of hell and death from him; there He preached to those spirits in prison.
Those who lived in Noah’s time but were disobedient, were now living but in hell in the spiritual body which they had; but Christ did not preach to them to repentance, but condemned their unbelief, testifying to them why they were there.
And then Christ went out from there and went to Paradise, where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the saints of the Old Testament were, who were believers in God and offered to God the sacrifices for sin, the sacrifices of those little animals; and the blood of those little animals covered them, in other words, it covered their sin; it did not take away sin from them, but only covered sin; and God did not see their sin because it was covered with the blood of those little animals, while a perfect Lamb, a perfect Sacrifice with a perfect Blood to take away sin came.
And when Christ died, their sin was taken away with the Blood of Christ, and then they were ready to go to the presence of God; and when Christ resurrected, all those people resurrected with Christ. That’s why Matthew tells us in chapter 27 and verses 51 and 52:
“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after his resurrection (meaning, after Christ’s resurrection), and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Now we can see what Christ accomplished with His death: He obtained the victory.
Now, we have seen that He had also gone to hell and preached to the imprisoned spirits:
“Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”
Now, why did God’s patience wait? Because the ark was being built for the salvation of Noah and his family; though the divine judgment was already spoken; and it lasted about 120 years since God told Noah that He would destroy the human race; and He said to him: “In 120 years’ time,” He told him that “the days of man shall be 120 years.9”
Now, we can see, 120 years would pass since God spoke that Word to Noah until the flood came.
Now, we can see that God has spoken of a divine judgment that will come the day of vengeance of our God; the day burning like an oven, says the prophet Malachi:
“…the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up (that is, it will burn them), saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”(Malachi, chapter 4, verse 1).
That is the day of vengeance of our God; it is the day where the divine judgment will fall upon the Earth.
God is saying that day will come since the Old Testament; and it will not be of rain, it will not be a day of a flood of water, but of fire. Atomic fire will fall upon the Earth, and it is already stored in nuclear weapons that the different nations have.
And now, because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is being built, that spiritual Temple of Christ, out of love for His elect God’s mercy is still on Earth, and God has had patience; He has had patience for the sake and out of love of His elect; because if a hundred years ago, or in the First World War, if by that time they had already had radioactivity stored in bombs, that First World War would have completely destroyed many nations and we would not be here; but out of love for the elect, notice, that divine judgment has been stopped.
Where does it say all that would be stopped? Let’s see, Revelation, chapter 7, verse 1 and on, it says:
“And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”
Now, notice, these four angels received an order from that Angel who has the Seal of the living God, that no wind (in other words, wars, over the human race, in other words, that atomic war) should blow until a certain time; because it will come; but because of the elect, both from among the gentiles and the Hebrew people, that destruction has been stopped; because otherwise no flesh would be saved, in other words, the elect could not receive salvation because they would be destroyed by radioactivity.
Now, we can see that all these things are already established in the Divine Program; and God is watching all the movements of the human race. And He works in a certain way, and sends His Archangels as well, so that everything may be fulfilled according to His Word, to the prophecies; because God has already said how the fulfillment of all these things will be.
Now, we are living in the end time and we are living in the most blessed territory of all territories: Latin America and the Caribbean. This is the territory where the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone for the Church of Jesus Christ materializes, and all the elect of God are called and gathered in this Last Day.
And now, speaking of this Angel who was different from the rest, let’s see something else that Reverend William Branham tells us.
He said that it is the Angel, that Angel of Revelation, chapter 10, is the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven and is the Messenger to Israel, and He comes for His Church.
It is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord; it is the same Angel that appears hereas the Angel that is different from the rest; but He has to come in the midst of His Church in a visible way to have the ministry of the Last Day.
He appears in Revelation, chapter 10, descending from Heaven wrapped in that cloud of angels, formed by angels; and in Revelation, chapter 19, He appears coming on a horse as white as snow.
Remember that these are the symbols of the Coming of the Lord.
And now, let’s see what He says about the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. It says on page 131 of the book of The Sealsin Spanish10:
“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.”
And remember that Thunders is the Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, of the Angel of the Covenant.
“Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church (so that we who are alive can be transformed and go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb). 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.”
It is the Coming of the Lord, and He comes with a new name.
That perhaps for some people is new news: that His Coming will be with a new name.
But will Jesus really have a new name? If He does, the Bible must say so. Let’s see if the Bible says that Jesus has a new name; and if the Bible says He has it, then He has it; and if He has it, then He will use it. And where else can He use it but in His Coming as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 in the Last Day?
Do you see that the Coming of the Lord is a mystery? And His New Name is a mystery.
Let’s see. We have said that He has a new name; and if He has it, He has to say it.
Just as He has an Angel Messenger, whom He sends to testify of these things; and if He has it, then He has to say it; and Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, it says: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
See? Why does He say He sent His Angel? Because He has it. If He didn’t have it, He couldn’t say that He sent His Angel; He’s not going to send something He doesn’t have.
And the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to manifest to His Church… Let’s see, let’s see what it says11:
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John…”
See? The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him, to manifest to His servants the things which must shortly come to pass, was sent through whom? Through His Angel. Why? Because He has it. If He didn’t have it, He couldn’t send that revelation through His Angel.
And now, He cannot come up with a new name if He doesn’t have it; but if He does, He will use it. Let’s see if He has it or not.
In Daniel, chapter 2, when Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of that statue that he saw, and let him know that this statue represented the kingdom of the gentiles…; beginning with the head of gold, which was the Babylonian empire, of which Nebuchadnezzar was the king or pharaoh; then the chest and arms of silver, which was the Medo-Persian empire; and then the belly and thighs of bronze, which was the Greek empire, with Alexander the Great; and then the legs of iron and feet of iron and clay, which is the fourth empire.
And the fourth empire, the empire of the Caesars, the Roman empire, notice, it was in effect at the time of Jesus and it was the empire that crucified Christ; in other words, it has a pending account with God. And that empire also persecuted the Christians; as well as the Hebrew people, with the Judaism religion, they also persecuted Christianity.
And now, the final stage of the fourth empire of the gentiles, the fourth stage has two parts: the legs of iron, and the feet of iron and clay.
And the feet of iron and clay is the stage where the antichrist, the man of sin, will be at the head, where he will be like the king of the kingdom of the gentiles, because the ten kings that give him their power and authority, which are represented here in Revelation 17 as the ten horns in the beast… it says in chapter 17, verse 11 and on:
“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.”
In other words, they will rise against the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, they will rise against the Second Coming of Christ; but they will not realize that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, has changed from Lamb to Lion of the tribe of Judah, and has changed from High Priest to Judge of all the Earth, and has changed to King of kings and Lord of lords. That’s why He will overcome them. It says:
“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(those are His Church) are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
They are the elect of God and called through the preaching of the Word of God.
And now, there in Revelation 19 we have His Coming, against which the beast, the antichrist (in whom the devil will be incarnate), with those ten kings and the armies of those kings and their nations, will fight against the Second Coming of Christ; but it is already prophesied that Christ will overcome them, because He is King of kings and Lord of lords.
Now, in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision or dream, he saw the destruction of the beast and the empire of the beast and those kings, with the Coming of the Stone not cut out from hands that came and smote the image on the feet of iron and clay.
That’s why in the First Coming of Christ He did not smite the image, that statue, the kingdom of the gentiles, which was in the stage of the legs of iron, but the legs of iron struck Christ, Christ being the Cornerstone; but in His First Coming it had to be like that for our redemption.
But now, that Stone not cut out from hands, which is the Second Coming of Christ, we find it here 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, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
It is the Second Coming of Christ, it is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. Notice, this Rider has a name that no one understands. It says, chapter 19, verse 11 and on:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”
Who doesn’t know the name Jesus? Everyone knows it. Everyone knows that in the First Coming of Christ (which is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, veiled in human flesh, clothed in human flesh, in that veil of flesh called Jesus), His Name, notice, that He brought in that written garment, it was Jesus.
But now He comes as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, but He brings a name that no one understands:
“…and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”
And here, when we are told about the Stone with a new name, it says thatno one…, 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.”
It is the same Name.
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
Now, the Wordis not a name; but “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on). And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (among the human beings, in the midst of the Hebrew people)”; and when He became flesh, then the Name of the Word was manifested in flesh. In other words, the Word made flesh had a name among human beings, and His Name wasJesus.
Jesusmeans ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’ In Hebrew that name is Yoshuaor Joshua. That’s why the name Joshua, Moses’ servant, means ‘Savior’, and that’s why he was the one who brought the Hebrew people to the promised land. And it is Christ who leads us to the promised land, to eternal life: to the glorious Millennial Kingdom and to the new body, the eternal body.
Now, it goes on to say:
“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”
Now notice that the Word comes to Earth again; and the Word was with God and was God. It is the Angel of the Covenant, the same God in His theophanic body; it isthisAngel that was different from the rest. That is the Word, that is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord.
And now, it continues saying:
“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords (because He comes as King of kings and Lord of lords).”
And now, notice, He comes with a name that no one understood. And in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12, 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…”
He’s going to write the Eternal Name of God upon the overcomer. If we find that overcomer, he can tell us something about that Name.
“…and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God…”
In other words, the New Jerusalem has a name, and that is the Eternal Name of God. Or is there a better name than the Name of our God for the City of our God? Or is God going to let someone give it another name? God puts His own Name to the City of God. The New Jerusalem has a name; that is the Eternal Name of God.
“…which cometh down out of heaven from my God…”
And descends “…prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.12”
And when a young woman marries her boyfriend, she inherits —therefore— her husband’s name, and that’s why she is given her husband’s surname; and some married women in some countries don’t even use their surname, but the husband’s surname.
Now, is the husband going to let her use another person’s surname, another man’s surname? —“No, the surname of that other man over there is prettier than the one my husband has.” And why didn’t she marry that other man then?
Now, the Bride of the Lamb carries the Name of the Lamb, the Bride of Jesus Christ carries the Name of Jesus Christ.
And now, we continue reading here; it continues saying, let’s see:
“…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.”
If He says so it is because He has it; and if He has it, that is the Name that He uses when He comes as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19.
And now, let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, speaking to us about what the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 will be, let’s see on page 134 of the book of The Seals in Spanish…
Notice, Christ in His theophanic body is that Angel of Covenant or Angel of the Lord, who became flesh and dwelt among human beings and was known by the name of Jesus</em>; He was the Word made flesh in His First Coming. But now, in Revelation 19, we have His Second Coming.
He comes in the Last Day. Who? The Word, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
And now let’s see what His Coming will be.
On page 277 of the book of The Sealsin Spanish, praying, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says13:
“…may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider(Who is the white horse rider of Revelation 19? The Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in His theophanic body), while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
And now, let’s see how He comes in this end time: page 256 of the book of The Seals. And remember that His Coming is the Coming of this Angel who was different from the rest, which is the Angel who has the Seventh Seal; and the Seventh Seal is His Coming, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord. Now, on page 256 of the book ofThe Seals in Spanish it says14:
“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.”
If we find that man, we will find the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the rest, veiled and revealed in human flesh in this Last Day, and He will be making known to us all these things that must happen in this end time.
But the veil of flesh where the Angel of the Lord will be manifested is not the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a veil of flesh redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ; it is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, whom John the apostle wanted to worship, because he saw that manifestation of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in human flesh in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ that John wanted to worship is the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, in the Last Day; and he is the first man, after Jesus Christ, who before coming to Earth in human flesh has ministered the Word to another person.
Just as Jesus, before coming to Earth in human flesh, said: “Before Abraham was, I am. Abraham desired to see my day; he saw it, and was glad”; and He was eating with Abraham that little calf that Abraham prepared for Him.
It seems that Elohim wasn’t a vegetarian, was He? When He was later in human flesh, He also ate meat and of everything.
But it is convenient to eat what is right; and if we have health problems, then we take care of ourselves from the foods that harm us; but we cannot be fanatics in eating or not eating: we have to see what is convenient for us to keep ourselves as well as possible.
And sometimes, we cannot eat what we want to eat for lack of money, because sometimes we have to eat what appears and we thank God because something appeared to eat.
But don’t worry: in the new body we will have the perfect diet. And in the new body, that body is never going to get sick, it’s not going to get old, so we’re not going to have any problems either. But we’ll see what diet God will give us in the new body.
Well, Jesus, when He resurrected, He still ate fish (immediately resurrected)… And when they believed that He was a spirit (that is, that He was a man but in the theophanic body of the sixth dimension), He said15: “No. Come here. Touch here, because a spirit has no flesh, like this one here, nor bone; touch here”; because a spirit is a body similar to ours but from another dimension.
And now, Jesus said: “Do you have anything to eat around here?” They brought Him a piece of fish. Who ate the other piece? We don’t know, but there was some left over.
Remember that the saints who are in Paradise said to our brother Branham16: “Here we don’t eat, we don’t sleep, we don’t work, we don’t get tired; but when we return to Earth, we will take bodies and then we will eat.”
So we’ve already been told they can eat. Jesus said: “Do you have anything to eat?” So they’ve already told us that they’re going to accept the invitation that we give them.
On one occasion a person, when I said so, that they came and that some had not eaten for almost two thousand years: “They must have a great desire to eat, just as they ate when they were here on Earth”, and a person said to me: “Don’t send me any of them over there”; I said: “Don’t worry; we won’t send you any then.” And then, when I was explaining: “And when we see them resurrected and they are with us, then we will be transformed,” then: “Send me a few home!”
It is that there is a purpose with their coming, and to be with us sharing, fraternizing, as Jesus did when He resurrected; and then we will be transformed.
Notice, Abraham also had fellowship with God made flesh; that was with Jesus Christ, who was in His theophanic body, and materialized Himself there —in front of Abraham— with Gabriel and Michael, and ate with Abraham.
Now, we can see that for this end time God has great blessings for each of you and for me as well. This is the time where the rainbow with its seven colors is manifested on Earth, around the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Latin American and Caribbean territory; and under the rainbow of the Divine Covenant, God has great blessings for all of us in Latin America and the Caribbean.
That’s why the Coming of this white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnated in a man, pertains to the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
That’s why the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, when he also spoke of the Coming of this white horse Rider, on page 166 of the book ofQuotations(here we have an excerpt from the message “God’s only provided place of worship”; page 1 and 2, there you will find this excerpt, in other words, it is taken from that conference): page 166, verse 1485, it says:
“Now, there’s… I was… getting pretty old, and I thought(meaning, he was already around 56 years old), ‘Will I… Will there be another revival…?’”
He only had 1 month minus 4 days to depart, and he says:
“‘Will I… Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’”
In other words, “will there be another revival, as there were in each of the stages or ages of the gentile Church, where God sent a messenger with a Message and opened a new age and called His elect?”
“‘Will I… Will there be another (time)revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider (From where? From the West).”
The land of Israel is in the East, where the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled. And the West is the American continent, which consists of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean; and the seventh age of the gentile Church has already been fulfilled in the northern part of the American continent.
And now only Latin America and the Caribbean remain for the fulfillment of this promise: of the Coming of this white horse Rider; and it is the Coming of the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the rest, to come manifested in human flesh at the Last Day in His Angel Messenger; because that’s where the Word will be, the Word, manifested at the Last Day; that’s where this Angel who was different from the rest will come manifested, carrying out His ministry for the Last Day. That’s why John the apostle wanted to worship the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is a redeemed by the Blood of Christ, who will be living in this end time, in which, just as Christ manifested Himself in His apostles and manifested Himself in His seven angel messengers in each of those stages or ages, He will be manifesting Himself in His Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And the manifestation of Christ in His Angel Messenger will reach such a degree that it will reach the stage in which it will be adopted; and when he is adopted, from then on great physical things will be seen under the ministry of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ, the Angel who was different from the rest, manifested through His Angel Messenger.
That is the Angel Messenger who will obtain each of those promises that Christ has made. He will give him the hidden Manna.
The hidden Manna is the revelation of Jesus Christ for this end time, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah; for “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.17”
And where was the hidden manna in the temple? In the most holy place. And the Church of Jesus Christ is the Temple of Jesus Christ, and the Age – the seven ages of the gentile Church pertain to the Holy Place and the Age of the Cornerstone pertains to the Most Holy Place.
It is in the Age of the Cornerstone where the hidden Manna will be; it was hidden from the sons and daughters of God of past ages, because they didn’t live in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple.
Because it would be for the Age of the Cornerstone where Christ would be giving us that hidden Manna: He would give it to the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, and he would give that hidden Manna to us, to be fed with the revelation of 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, and as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 coming in human flesh at the Last Day, manifested and revealed through His Angel Messenger.
That is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Coming of the Word, of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19: it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel Messenger in at the Last Day. That is all the mystery that was hidden from human beings and that is revealed at this Last Day to all the sons and daughters of God.
And now, we can see that that’s why for this time the sign of God’s Covenant, the rainbow that was being seen in Heaven, in the Throne…, a color of the rainbow has been manifested from age to age; and now, for the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, that rainbow is manifested around the Age of the Cornerstone in a complete circle, with the seven colors of the rainbow, so that we may obtain the full revelation of God, and obtain the faith to be transformed and caught away to Heaven, and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to the House of our heavenly Father, where that Great Marriage Supper of the Lamb is prepared and to which we are invited.
“Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb (that is, invited).”
Why are they called? Because they have been invited and they have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.
“Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.”(Revelation, chapter 19, verse 9).
It’s like when you prepare a wedding and make the guest list.
And now, in the guest list for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, our names are written in that list, which is and that is the Lamb’s Book of Life, which is the Book of the Seven Seals.
Wherever the Book of the Seven Seals is, there is the rainbow with its seven colors.
And now, notice, the Book of the Seven Seals, Christ took it in Heaven, He opened it… In Revelation, chapter 5, He took it in Heaven, from the hand, from the right hand of Him who is sitting the Throne; in Revelation, chapter 6, He opened it in Heaven; in Revelation, chapter 8, He opened the Seventh Seal, and there was silence for about half an hour; and then, in Revelation, chapter 10, He descends from Heaven wrapped in a cloud and brings it.
And then, that Book, which was in the right hand of God —and no one was worthy to take that Book and open those Seals, not even look at that Book, except our beloved Lord Jesus Christ—, now, then, when Christ takes it in Heaven, opens it and then brings it to Earth, He gives it to a man, and tells him to eat it. That is the place that corresponds to that Book.
It is the Title Deed, and therefore there are contained the rights for the restoration of the sons and daughters of God to eternal life with an eternal body, for the dead in Christ to resurrect and us who are alive to be transformed; and thus to have the restoration to eternal life, to be restored to all that Adam and Eve lost in the fall.
And that’s where we’re going to leave it. All that is wrapped up under the Covenant of the rainbow that we have seen around the Throne of Him who sits in Heaven.
That rainbow is manifested at this end time in the Age of the Cornerstone, because that’s where that Book of the Seven Seals is opened for us. With the opening of the Seventh Seal we have the whole Book open.
And now, notice, all that is fulfilled first for —afterwards, in Heaven— Christ to leave the Throne of Intercession and take that Title Deed and make the claim; but the content of that Book first has to be fulfilled, and it has been fulfilling from age to age.
As in the case of Jesus Christ as Lamb of God: in order to be placed in Heaven, in the Temple that is in Heaven, the Sacrifice for sin there in the Throne of Intercession, Christ first had to fulfill His Work of the Lamb of God and die here on Earth; fulfill everything here to then take it to Heaven and fulfill in Heaven that Work of Intercession with His own Blood.
And that’s why from age to age the content of that Book of the Seven Seals has been fulfilled. And when we reach the Seventh Seal, everything in the Seventh Seal will be fulfilled; and then Christ already finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, and makes the claim, and the dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be changed.
We’ve seen: “THE RAINBOW, SIGN OF GOD’S COVENANT.”
And now, through the revelation of Christ in His Church, in each age we have seen the rainbow manifesting a color in each age; because the Covenant of Christ under His Blood has been in each age; and the Covenant of Christ under His Blood and the seven colors of the rainbow are manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone.
That’s why Latin America and the Caribbean has a great opportunity to enter the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
If God told Abraham… If Abraham asked Him: “If there are fifty righteous in the city of Sodom, will you destroy the righteous with the unrighteous?”… God said to him: “I will not destroy it; indeed, I will forgive the whole city.”
And Latin America and the Caribbean is the territory that in the Last Day will have a number of righteous, justified by Christ, through the Blood of Christ, justified as if they had never sinned, because the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin18</a>; and God does not find sin in us because the Blood of Christ took it away.
Therefore, in Latin America and the Caribbean will be the righteous of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone; and we will always cry out to Christ for Latin America and the Caribbean, that it may enter the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And if anyone complains that we desire for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ to have the Latin American and Caribbean nations with their people, then let others try to bring their people too, so that they may enter the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
They have to put them under the sign of the rainbow Covenant, which is in the Age of the Cornerstone, and they have to be under the Message that pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the way. And that is what is happening in Latin America and the Caribbean: it is being placed under the Divine Covenant of the rainbow with its seven colors.
And we want all of Latin America and the Caribbean to enter the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ, and for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ to be filled (of what?) of Latin American and Caribbean people; and may the Hebrew people also enter, who have the promise to enter at this end time. And with each angel messenger, well, those of their ages will enter, those who received the Word for their time.
Well, may God help us, and may God continue to work throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, and may He open the understanding and soul to all Latin American and Caribbean people to receive the Word of God relevant to this time, and may God’s mercy be extended over Latin America and the Caribbean, and may Latin America and the Caribbean not be destroyed with the divine judgment that will come during the great tribulation, but rather, may it go on into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
Now, where are those who would be seeing the rainbow, the sign of God’s Covenant, in this Last Day? Here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean, seeing God’s Covenant, the sign of the rainbow around the Throne of Christ in His Church: around the Age of the Cornerstone.
It has been for me a great privilege to be with you on this occasion testifying to you of “THE RAINBOW, SIGN OF GOD’S COVENANT.”
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, under His rainbow Covenant, be upon all of you and me too, and may we all soon be transformed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven; and may Latin America and the Caribbean receive the Word of God; may the Word of Christ run throughout Latin America and the Caribbean in this Last Day, and may Latin America and the Caribbean enter into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Well, may the blessings of Christ be upon you. Thank you very much for your kind attention. And I will see you (when, Miguel?) on Sunday, to those who are at the Sunday morning activity (is it one activity, Miguel? Two), in Sunday’s activities, God willing, where we will have as subject the topics that Miguel will be giving you, where we hope that God will bless us greatly and open the understanding and the Scriptures to understand the great blessings that He has for each of you and for me as well.
I do my part to receive all the blessings of Christ: believing them and receiving them in my soul; and they must materialize in me. So it is also for all of you: believing them with all your soul, they will materialize in each one of you.
Well, may God continue to bless you all and may you all have a wonderful evening.
With us again the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin to continue and finish our part.
Well, may God continue to bless you and with us the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin.
