Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God under the subject: “THE LIGHT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
“THE LIGHT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL”is our subject for this occasion. And we will read in Matthew, chapter 4, verses 12 to 17, and we will also read in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on. And the Scripture says:
“Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Let us also read Mark, chapter 1; let us see where we can find it in Mark…: Chapter 1, verse 14 (is the same passage), it says:
“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
See? It is the same passage, but in each one of the gospels, it is given from the perspective or point of view in which it must be seen in each of the gospels; but when we put all those passages together, then we find or we see a clearer picture.
And now, in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1, it says:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
May God bless His Word in our souls and allow to understand It.
Our subject is:“THE LIGHT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
When the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven, in the Book of Redemption, we find that it caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour. The Scripture says: “There was silence about the space of half an hour.”
And what does the Seventh Seal contain that caused there to be silence in Heaven for about half an hour? It contains the secret of the Second Coming of Christ.
The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ; and when that mystery was opened in Heaven under the Seventh Seal, there was silence: the cherubim, the archangels, the angels, all those who were there in the Temple of God in Heaven, worshiping God and singing to God, became silent.
That way the enemy of God, the devil, would not know that mystery, so that he would not be able to imitate and thus, not be able to interrupt the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that mystery being fulfilled on Earth at the relevant time. If the enemy obtained the knowledge of that secret, he would do a lot of imitations and he would also try to destroy the Seventh Seal.
Remember that when Moses was born, for that time, by the order of the pharaoh, all the male children who were going to be born, when the midwives saw that it was a boy, they had to kill them; that was the order of the king1. And when Jesus was born, we find that king Herod knew the Messiah had been born, and he wanted to know where He was and who the Messiah was in order to kill Him; and since he was not able to obtain the knowledge of who the Messiah was, he ordered all the children who were two years old and under to be killed2.
Whenever God sends a dispensational prophet to Earth, the enemy tries to kill him, the devil tries to use instruments to kill that child who has been born. In these two cases: the birth of Moses and the birth of Jesus, he tried to use the government itself, he tried to use the king himself; the pharaoh in the time of Moses and king Herod in the time of Jesus.
And now, for the Second Coming of Christ, which is the Coming of the Stone cut out without hands that the prophet Daniel saw in his interpretation of king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream3, we find that the enemy would try to destroy the Second Coming of Christ. Therefore, when that mystery was opened in Heaven…, which was not known in Heaven, but when it was opened in Heaven, everyone who was present there, seeing the opening of that Seventh Seal, was able to understand which mystery that was, they saw it opened, they saw what was contained there, but they were not even able to sing, they were not able to glorify God; at that time, they had to stay silent for half an hour or almost half an hour of Heaven’s time.
One day in Heaven is a thousand years for human beings4and…, one day in Heaven (24 hours in Heaven) are a thousand years. And how long is one hour in Heaven? One hour in Heaven is 41 years and (8 months, Miguel?) 8 months.
And a watch is how many hours long? A watch on Earth is 3 hours long, a watch contains 3 hours.
There are four watches: the first watch is from 9:00 to 12:00 at night, the second watch is from 12:00 to 3:00 in the morning, the third watch is from 3:00 to 6:00 in the morning and the fourth watch is from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning; it is the only watch that takes place in the daytime.
And referring to watches, Christ says, He says something very important that we cannot overlook, because it is related to the Coming of the Son of Man at the Last Day. He says: Chapter 12, verse 35 and on, of Luke, says:
“Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.”
Christ has put faithful and wise servants in His House (which is His Church) to be in charge of administering the possessions of the House of Christ, of His Church has, and to give the spiritual food of the Word of God in due season, in other words, the Message pertaining to the relevant stage.
Among these faithful and wise servants, we find that Christ has had, during the seven stages or ages of His gentile Church, under the part of the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple (here, from hereto here), among the gentiles He has had seven faithful and wise servants, seven stewards who have been in charge of the House of Christ, each one in his age, giving the food, the ration in in time to all the sons and daughters of God.
But who is the faithful and wise servant, the faithful and wise steward who will be in the House of God giving the spiritual food in time in the Coming of the Son of Man, in the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, in the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ?
If He comes to the first, second or third watch (which pertains to theseseven ages of the gentile Church), the messenger for that time is blessed. But let us see, there is something else here: there are not three watches, but there are four watches.
In Mark, chapter 13, verses 34 to 37, it gives us more light about the watches, and it says:
“For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.”
Now, here we have the faithful and wise servants again, the faithful and wise stewards placed in the House of God, each one in his age; those are the messengers of each one of the stages.
“…and commanded the porter to watch.
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning…”
Here we have these four stages, in which Christ says: “You do not know…”
“Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,(in other words, Jesus Christ in His Second Coming)<em>; at even(meaning, in the first ages of the Church, the first stages), or at midnight(when the Church entered in the first stage of the dark ages), or at the cockcrowing(when the Church began her stage of restoration with Luther, Wesley and Reverend William Branham, which pertains to that stage of the third watch, in other words, from 3:00 to 6:00 in the morning)…”
We find Luther in the first hour of the third watch, Wesley in the second hour and Reverend William Branham in the third hour of the third watch; that is the stage of the rooster crowing.
“…or in the morning.”
If He did not come in the evening, nor at midnight, nor at the rooster crowing, then the only thing left is (what?) the morning; and in the morning is when the fourth watch occurs, which is from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning.
The fourth watch was when Jesus appeared to His disciples walking on the sea, it was in the fourth watch when they saw Him and said: “It is a ghost.5”
The fourth watch, which pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone, where the Second Coming of Christ is seen by the elect of God, who will be on the ship, who will be in the Mystical Body of Christ; and some will say…, at first, some people may think He is a ghost, some people may think He is a false prophet, some people may think whatever it may be; but when He spoke to them and said6“It is I; be not afraid,” when He identified Himself as the I Am and told them not to be afraid —through the identification of Him speaking—then the disciples of Jesus Christ knew it was Jesus.
And by the spoken Word of Christ, identifying Himself in the promise of His Coming at the end time, identifying Himself as the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, that the elect of God will see Him and recognize Him; and they will not confuse Him with a ghost, they will not confuse Him with a false prophet, they will not confuse Him with some preacher, but rather with the Seventh Seal being fulfilled.
When He came in His First Coming, what was He? A prophet, a prophet preaching the Word of God and making known the fulfillment of the prophecies relevant to the First Coming of Christ, and showing people that those promises were fulfilled (in whom?) in Him.
Do you want to see a passage where He says that the Scriptures are fulfilled in Him? In Luke, chapter 4, verse 14 and on, it says:
“And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.”
This is the same event we read about in the beginning, but seen by Saint Luke, in other words, seen from this perspective in which Saint Luke presents it. It says:
“…And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Here He is showing that this Scripture in Isaiah was being fulfilled, which is a prophecy that speaks about the Coming of the Messiah; and here was Jesus, a construction worker, reading that Scripture and saying: “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”It was fulfilled before them. And who was standing there before them? Well, Jesus of Nazareth; Isaiah, chapter 61, that Scripture was fulfilled in human flesh in Jesus of Nazareth.
Now notice, that is the same event or those are the same days which Saint Mark and Saint Luke tell us about, where “the people which sat in darkness saw great light; to them which sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, light is sprung up,” why? Because that is where the fulfilment of the Word promised for that time was, the prophetic Word that announced the Coming of the Messiah; and it was being fulfilled (in whom?) in Jesus of Nazareth.
On one occasion, in John, chapter 8, verse 12, He says: “I am the light of the world; (He said) he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
And now, we find that those who followed Jesus were following the Light of the world and they did not walk in darkness, because they had the Light of the Life; and thus, they were seeing what God was carrying out at that time, which was the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah.
Now notice, Mark [4:12-13] says that:
“Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim…”
That whole region there, notice, pertains to Zabulon and Nephthalim; and that region of Zabulon and Nephthalim is the land where Jesus began preaching His ministry.
Nazareth also belongs to that territory of Zabulon; because the Sea of Galilee is found in and belongs to Nephthalim (and perhaps a small part of it to Zabulon, on one side; on the other side, it belongs to Manasseh), and in that place, in Zabulon, we find the territory of Nazareth. The territory of Nazareth belongs to the tribe of Zabulon.
So we can see that by Jesus, having His ministry, starting His ministry, He fulfilled the promise that those which sat in darkness and in the shadow of death (which was the territory where He was raised) Light shone upon them, when that Light was lit, when He was baptized by John the Baptist and began His ministry.
And now we find Jesus fulfilling the promises relevant to that time.
Notice, Capernaum belongs to the area of Bethesda and therefore, it belongs to that territory of the upper part of Galilee; in other words, Capernaum is around the area of Bethesda, where Peter, John and James were also from.
And now notice, Jesus began His ministry and He was preaching throughout that entire territory, and the Light began (to what?) to shine among people and territories that were in darkness and in the shadow of death. But since the First Coming of Christ was the Light that would shine in that territory, in those territories, when that promise was made flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth (and Jesus began His ministry, and began to preach): through the preaching of the Gospel, the Light began to shine, through the preaching of Jesus Christ, the Light began to shine and enlighten the soul and the understanding of the people from those territories; and the disciples of Jesus Christ began to arrive, Christ began to call His disciples.
And that is how the messianic movement of the First Coming of Christ began, His ministry started and that great manifestation started, which lasted three and a half years, from which the manifestation of the Gospel of Grace would come, in order to be preached, starting in the midst of the Hebrew people and then among the gentiles, to call and gather together all of the elect of God in the Mystical Body of Christ and to give eternal life to all the sons and daughters of God.
That is why we find that the call is made to every human being, it is the call to repentance and to receive Christ as their Savior, and wash away their sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive the Spirit of Christ, which He gives to all those who repent, receive Him as their Savior and wash away their sins in the Blood of Christ; then, He gives the person His Spirit, the Spirit of Christ enters the person and thus brings forth the new birth in the person.
Because the promise is that He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh (when?) at the last days; and the last days are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium; that is why He began to pour out His Holy Spirit in the time of the apostles, when they were in the upper room waiting for the Coming of the Holy Spirit7.
And now, since the Day of Pentecost, the new birth of the sons and daughters of God began, so that they may enter into the Mystical Body of Christ, to thus be born again, be born in the Kingdom of God, and sealed with the Seal of the living God, with the Holy Spirit; so that on the day of redemption of the body, all those who have already been sealed with the Spirit of Christ (by receiving Christ as their Savior and washing away their sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving the Spirit of Christ), at the Last Day, if those people have died physically, they will be resurrected in an eternal body, and if they are alive when the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place, well, they will be changed.
And thus, we will have an eternal body, a glorified body, a body like the one our beloved Lord Jesus Christ has, and we will all be in the image and likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ; we will have the image, which is the theophanic body, the theophany, the theophanic spirit; and we will have the physical likeness, which is the physical and eternal body we will obtain.
And now, this is for the Last Day, when, just as two thousand years ago Light shone among the Hebrews in the territory mentioned as Zabulon and Nephthalim, that territory of those tribes where Jesus Christ began His ministry… And since Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, by Him preaching manifested in His messianic ministry, the Light of the world (Christ) began to shine by Christ preaching the Word of God for that time and making known that messianic Word, the Coming of the Messiah was fulfilled among them; and He said to them: “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
And now, for the Last Day, Light will shine again, in the fulfilment of the Second Coming of Christ.
Now, throughout the ages, God has given Light to His people, from age to age, through His manifestation in each angel messenger. Christ represented His Church in the candlestick with seven burning lamps because His Church, going through different ages, going through the seven gentile Church ages, is that candlestick with those seven lamps; and the light in each candlestick is the Light of the Spirit of God, the Light of Christ through the messenger of each age.
The wick of that candlestick is a messenger, burning with the Fire of God, with the Fire of the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of God has been manifested through that messenger; and in the manifestation of the Spirit of God in those seven messengers, the promise of the seven spirits of God, which travel throughout the entire Earth, has been fulfilled8</a>; it is the Spirit of God in seven great manifestations during the seven ages of the gentile Church.
And those seven spirits of God, which travel throughout the entire Earth, notice, it says in chapter 4, verse 5, of Revelation:
“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”
Here we have the seven spirits of God, which are the seven lamps of fire burning before the presence of God, before the Throne of God.
And now, in Revelation, chapter 5, verse 6, it says:
“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.”
Those seven eyes are the seven angel messengers, because eyesrepresent seers, meaning prophets; and those are the seven messengers of Christ, each one in his age.
Remember how Saint Paul says that the Last Trumpet will sound? And he says that the dead in Christ will be resurrected, he says that “we will all be changed”? Now, when will that be? He says: “in the twinkling of an eye.9”
From age to age, an eye of the seven eyes of the Lamb, of the seven eyes of God, has opened: each time a messenger has come, one of the eyes of God has opened; and then, when the physical body of that messenger died, that eye of God has been shut, until the seven eyes of God are opened during the seven gentile Church ages, and shut (they are opened and shut: the twinkling of an eye).
Until we reach the Last Day, where Christ appears in Revelation, chapter 1, with His two eyes10. Because this Lamb, that has seven horns (which are the seven ages of the gentile Church) and seven eyes (each one on each of the horns: each one in each of the ages), notice, that Lamb also has its own two eyes, like all lambs do; but since it has seven horns, it has an eye on each horn.
A horn always represents a power, and that has been each of the gentile Church ages; there we have seven powers manifested, which are the seven ages of the Church of Jesus Christ with His seven eyes; but now, for the end time, He comes with His eyes as a flame of fire, and those are two eyes as a flame of fire; and since eyesrepresent prophets, seers, for the Last Day we have the promise of the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the presence of God, the Two Anointed Ones, which are the Two Olive Trees and Two Candlesticks that stand before the presence of God, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah. There we have the eyes as flame of fire of the Son of Man in His Coming at the Last Day.
And now, He comes with His face (how?) as the sun: He comes shining, because His Coming is promised in Malachi, chapter 4, verse 2, as the Sun of Righteousness. It says11:“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.”
The psalmist also tells us, speaking to us of God as the Sun, he says… Let us see Psalm 89, verse 15, let us see what it says there. It says:
“Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.”
How does He come in Revelation, chapter 1, verses 12 to 18; and in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on? How does He come? Let us see He comes. Revelation, chapter 1, verse 12 and on says:
“And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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, (meaning that He is not coming as Priest, rather, He is coming as the Judge of all the Earth, because His girdle is across His chest).
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.”
Now, we have seen that His eyes here are as a flame of fire.
We have seen that His feet are like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; His feet of brass. Brass represents the divine judgment, and the prophets are the divine judgment; therefore, His feet of brass are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
“…As if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword…”
That is the Word, the Message of Christ at the Last Day, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, with which He speaks to us and reveals to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; it is that creative Word of God making all these things known to us, it is that Word of Christ as the Great Voice of Trumpet speaking to His Church; it is the same Voice of Christ from Revelation, chapter 10, crying out as when a lion roars and seven thunders uttering their voices; and here, His Voice, His Word, His Message, is represented in a sword that goes out of His mouth.
“…And his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”
How does He come? With His face as the sun.
In Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, it says:
“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.”
There we have Him again with His face as the sun; He is the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven, He is the Angel who appeared on February 28, 1963 in this cloudaccompanied by the seven angel messengers of the seven gentile Church ages.
If we rotate this photo to the right, we will find this Angelforming the hair or white hair of the Lord.
With the coming of this Angelto Earth, the symbolism of the white hair of the Son of Man is formed or fulfilled; and the white hair represents experience, it represents that He has enough experience and maturity to, as Judge, judge all human beings righteously, to bring the divine judgment appointed for the end time, to speak that divine judgment, to make it known at this end time.
And now, in the Divine Court, notice, we will reach the time when Christ is manifested as the Judge of all the Earth.
That Angel who was different from the rest appeared in this cloud, which is Christ, the Mighty Angel, clothed with that cloud formed by angels; because in Revelation, chapter 10, it says:
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud (How did He come? 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.”
It is the Son of Man being seen there in heaven, according to what Jesus said in Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 31, where it says:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven (there we have 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 there we have Him: coming in the clouds of heaven, clouds formed by the seven angel messengers of the seven ages and the Mighty Angel Himself. There we have that mysterious cloud formed by eight angels: the seven angel messengers of the seven ages and the Angel who was different from the rest, who has the Seventh Seal. And it says:
“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.”
Now notice, after the manifestation of the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, what comes? The ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man come, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Two Anointed Ones calling and gathering together all of the elect of God; calling the elect of God among the gentiles first and placing them (where?) in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and then, a new dispensation opens: the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which intertwines with the Dispensation of Grace.
And all the elect of God at this end time are called and gathered together in the Age of the Cornerstone, and they receive the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ, the revelation of the Angel – of the Coming of the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven with His face shining as the sun, to thus receive the faith, meaning, the revelation, to be changed and raptured at this end time.
And now, how will we walk at this end time in the Age of the Cornerstone?
When Christ was preaching, He spoke of John the Baptist and said12: “John was a burning light; and you wanted to walk in his light”; and we find that from age to age, these seven angel messengers have been that burning light, they have been that candlestick wick of each one of the ages, that wick burning with the Spirit of Christ, and the elect of each age walked in His Light; it was the Light of Christ manifested in the angel messenger of each age.
The seventh angel messenger of the seventh gentile Church age came, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, the Elijah which was to come preparing the way of the Lord, preparing the way of the Seventh Seal, preparing the way of the Angel who was different from the rest; he came and he was that Elijah which was to come. And he was a light, a burning light; he was the light of the seventh gentile Church age, he was that wick on that seventh candlestick, on that seventh lamp, burning with the Fire of the Holy Spirit, enlightening all the sons and daughters of God in that seventh age; and many wanted to walk in his light, and that was very good.
But the Seventh Seal being fulfilled at the Last Day —which is the Coming of the Angel who has the Seventh Seal— is the Light of the Age of the Cornerstone and it is the Light of the seventh millennium and It is the Light of the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and therefore, it is the Light of the world. The Seventh Seal: the Second Coming of Christ.
He was the Light of the world in His First Coming and He is the Light of the world in His Second Coming.
And now, notice, who has that Seventh Seal? The Angel who was different from the rest, according to what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 469 [The Seals] when he says13:
“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? 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?
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.”
Why? Because who has the Seventh Seal? The Angel who was different from the rest.
For each angel messenger of the seven gentile Church ages (who are foundherein their theophanic bodies), in order to be manifested on Earth and have their ministries, they had to be manifested (in what?) in human flesh; and when they cease to be in human flesh, they go to live in Paradise with the group they had in their age; they are reunited, each messenger is reunited (with whom?) with his people, with the group from his age.
And now, in order for the Angel who was different from the rest to have his ministry here on Earth and for that Seventh Seal to be fulfilled here on Earth, well, he has to come in human flesh at this Last Day; and that is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is Christ coming at the Last Day. It is the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, returning at the Last Day as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as the King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
That is why in Revelation, chapter 19, verses 11 to 21, He has this name written on His thigh and on His vesture: King of kings and Lord of lords; it also says that His name is the Word of God. It is the Word, who was made flesh two thousand years ago and was known by the name of Jesus, and said14: “I am. I am the Light of the world: he that follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.” And He continues to be the Light of the world; He is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of Light.
And now, we find that at the Last Day, the Angel of the Covenant comes, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob comes manifested again at the Last Day in the fulfillment of His Second Coming.
And now, how will it be? The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 134 of the book of The Seals in Spanish…
Remember that the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the one who delivered the Hebrew people, who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is the Holy Spirit; in other words, God in that theophanic body is known as the Holy Spirit. He is the man clothed in white linen in the prophecy of Ezekiel, chapter 9; and in the prophecy of Daniel15, when he saw a man upon the waters of the river, clothed in linen.
And now, it says on page 134 of the book of The Seals, it says16:
“Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
And how will that be? On page 277 of the book of The Seals, he also says, while he was praying, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, said17:
“May the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
Now, who is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, is this Angel who was different from the rest; it is the man clothed in fine and white linen in the prophecy of Daniel, upon the waters of the river, and He is the same man clothed in white linen from the prophecy of Ezekiel, chapter 9.
And now, how will He come? Because He has to come to fulfill His ministry, His messianic ministry, first among His gentile Church and then among the Hebrew people. Page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, says:
“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, who will we find? The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the rest, manifested in human flesh at the Last Day. And that Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, who is the Word, is the Light of the world at the Last Day for the seventh millennium for all human beings, and for the Age of the Cornerstone and for the Dispensation of the Kingdom; because He continues to be the Light of the world.
The Word is the Light of the world in His First Coming and in His Second Coming, too. That is why the book of the prophet Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 14, says:
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
How will it be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord? Through the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ will be obtained, the knowledge of the manifestation, of the glory of God manifested on Earth in the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; in His manifestation in human flesh in a man of this end time, in the manifestation of the Word incarnate in a man; in the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the rest coming in human flesh at the Last Day and manifesting Himself through that instrument of flesh which will be a prophet: the prophet of the seventh dispensation, the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
He is also the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, he is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom Christ says in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16:“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”He is the Angel Messenger who brought John the apostle the revelation of the book of Revelation.
On page 301 of the book of The Seals, referring to this Angel Messenger who brought John the apocalyptic revelation, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says18:
“And then according to the time that God was going to deliver the antediluvian world, He sent the eagle(an eagle is a prophet; that eagle that He sent was whom? The prophet Noah).And time He was going to deliver Israel, He sent the eagle(Who was that eagle? The prophet Moses).Do you believe that the time, even on John, on the Isle of Patmos, this Message was so perfect that He couldn’t trust It with an Angel? You know, an angel is a messenger. But do you know the messenger was a prophet?(And for those who did not know, now you know).You believe that?(Of course we do).Let’s prove it. Revelation 22, let’s see if it was a eagle. Yeah. See, he was a… Sure, he was an angel, he’s the messenger, but it was a prophet that revealed this whole Book of Revelation to him… Watch what John seen here.
‘John saw these things, and heard them. / And when I… heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed these things, which showed me these things.
And, he, then, (the angel), see. Then said he to me, See thou do it not:… (No true prophet would be worshipped, or messenger of any kind, see. That’s to God alone). Then said he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book: worship God.’
Revelation 22:8-9.”
Now, turning to page 302, it says:
“See? Now, the Book was so important, that, It is the Word of God. Now watch. And when the Word of God is brought forth, It’s got to be brought by the prophet, because that’s who the Word of God comes to.”
In other words, it cannot be brought by another type of person, it must be the prophet ordained by God for that age or for that dispensation. If it is the Message of an age, then It comes through the messenger of that age; if it is a Message for a dispensation, it comes through a dispensational prophet. And this Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is a dispensational prophet, who is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
And with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached by that dispensational prophet, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ is opened to all the children of God; and thus, we then have the Light of the world shining and enlightening our souls, our understanding and all of our being, so that the number of the elect of God in the Mystical Body of Christ is completed soon; because they are called and gathered with that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, with that Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet.
And thus, all of the elect of God at the Last Day will be hearing (what?) that Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, which will be (revealing what?) revealing the mystery of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, the Coming of the Mighty Angel, the Coming of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Word made flesh at the Last Day.
Now, notice how the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells usherein this book of Quotations</em>; we find that on page 47 an excerpt of the message “The Ten Virgins”; on verse 402 says19:
“‘For we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord…’”
Notice, we which remain until when? Until the Coming of the Lord. We which remain until when? Until the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man, until we remain for the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19.
And where does that Rider come from? From the West. The West is where the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 is fulfilled, which is the Word, the Angel of the Covenant incarnate in a man, in other words, in His Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
He says: “‘…shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep.’ Them precious ones(brethren) that sealed their blood… sealed their testimony with their blood(this was during the persecutions, when they were killed). ‘Not prevent or hinder those that are asleep…’”
They are not dead, rather, they are asleep, their bodies died but they are in Paradise, and they are asleep to this dimension but they are awake in the sixth dimension. Just as a person goes to sleep in his home; when he goes to sleep, he is asleep to this world, but he is awake… because sometimes he is dreaming and he is in other places; he is awake in another dimension, but he is asleep to this earthly dimension.
He says:“‘…for the trumpet will sound.’ Something will take place, ‘the Gospel something will sound.’”
What is that “gospel something”? The Gospel of the Kingdom. Sounding what? It will be sounding something:
“…the Gospel something will sound,’ the announcing of His coming.”
What will the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet be announcing? What will It be revealing to the Church of Jesus Christ? It will be revealing the Second Coming of Christ to her, it will be revealing that mystery to her.
And when the elect of God receive that revelation, they say: “Now I do see it. And what has been announced, what has been prophesied, which will be the greatest thing God will do at this end time is so simple!” Because when God promises to fulfill something great, He fulfills it in a simple way.
It says: “‘And the dead in Christ shall rise first. And we which are alive and remain shall be changed.’ Standing there (or here), and feel a change come on: the gray hair go out, the wrinkles fall away, be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. And we shall meet our loved ones first.”
Now, here we can see how it will be at this end time: the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet sounding and announcing, revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal, announcing the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant (coming, how?) coming in human flesh again.
But that veil of flesh in which the Word will be incarnate will not be the Lord Jesus Christ, it will not be the same veil of flesh that He had in His First Coming; this veil of flesh will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day.
Notice, on page 13-A, verse 128, referring to His Coming, he says [Quotations]20:
“Now what did He promise to a vindicate Himself? In a man, a human flesh, like He did to Abraham, ‘When the Son of Man…’ It would be the Son of Man, not the Son of God now; the Son of God (where?)in a Son of Man.”
In other words, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, inside the Son of Man; meaning, in a prophet; because “Son of Man” is always a prophet.
He says:“In Ezekiel, the 1st chapter, the 2nd verse, Jehovah called Ezekiel the Son of Man, exactly what Jesus called Himself.”
What was He called? The Son of Man, because He is a prophet. Now, let us continue, he says:
“You understand that, through the teaching of the week. Now, see, what is the Son of man? Prophetic,(in other words, a prophet). What was Malachi 4? To be a prophet. What was these things to happen in the last days? Now, He never said when. He said they would happen, and they did. Now, you, if He is still the Son of God, the Son of man; ready to be revealed in the last days on the throne of David, as Son of David… / He is that Word. And He has just changed His mask(He is just changing, of what? His veil of flesh) see, from what could not be seen to what is absolutely declared, the Word made flesh.”
And what is the Word made flesh at the Last Day? The Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest.
Now we can see this great mystery that is promised to be manifested at this end time.
We have seen this promise of the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man for this end time; and in this time when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, comes incarnate; the Word incarnate in a man, who is His Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
That is the Coming of the Seventh Seal, that is the Seventh Seal being fulfilled here on Earth, that is the Angel of the Covenant who comes with His face as the sun manifested at the Last Day; and we will walk in the Light of His countenance, we will walk in His Light.
Notice, in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 12 to 18, and Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, it says that this Angel comes with His face (how?) as the sun; and in His manifestation in human flesh, He will be enlightening our soul, our understanding and all of our being, so that we may walk in the Light of His face, in the Light of the countenance of the Angel of the Covenant, to walk in the Light of the countenance of God.
We read where it says:
“Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.”
In Matthew, chapter 17, we find that Christ took Peter, James and his brother John to a high mountain, and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun; and on each side of the Lord, Moses and Elijah appeared; because His Coming at the Last Day is with His face shining as the sun and enlightening all the sons and daughters of God to walk on the path of God at this Last Day; and He comes with His Angels, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah being manifested through human flesh, through the same veil of flesh where the Word will be incarnate at the Last Day.
In other words, in the same Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ: the Angel of the Covenant (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit) will be manifested in human flesh and He will be manifesting the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time.
That is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, who has the Seventh Seal; that is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is the mystery of the Coming of Christ for the Last Day with His face shining as the sun.
His face shining as the sun shows Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords, because the sun is the king of the stars and Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He comes shining in order to enlighten the understanding of all the sons and daughters of God and then of the Hebrew people.
And to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death…
Notice, those who lived in theseages lived in a territory where there was Light manifested through the messenger of each age, where the candlestick was with its seven lamps, that burning candlestick giving light to each lamp in each age. Each age and its messenger enlightened this world, and that is how there was Light in those ages.
But now, the people which were in darkness and in the shadow of death during those ages is Latin America and the Caribbean; and now, in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Age of the Cornerstone is manifested, which is the age of the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man, the Word incarnate in the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, and It shines in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Those which sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Light shone upon them, there in the land of Israel, in Zabulon and Nephthalim, which was the territory belonging to Galilee; and It was shining there, in Galilee, Galilee says (of what?) of the gentiles.
And now, in Galilee of the gentiles (Latin America and the Caribbean) beyond the Jordan (it says there), Light shone upon them; and now, the Light of God is shining here, in Latin America and the Caribbean, Christ is shining, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the rest, (who is found in thiscloud), in His Coming in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, He is shining in Latin America and the Caribbean, and He is enlightening our understanding, and He is filling us with the knowledge of all the Divine Program relevant to this end time, all the Divine Program relevant to the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest; which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit coming at the Last Day and manifesting Himself in His Angel Messenger, and operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time.
The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, takes a veil of flesh of this end time to manifest Himself and shine in Latin America and the Caribbean; He puts the ministries of Moses and Elijah in that same veil of flesh.
That is why the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, by forerunning the Second Coming of Christ, he speaks about Jesus, he speaks about Moses and he speaks about Elijah; because the Son of Man will come with His Angels, and His Angels are Moses and Elijah. Those three great ministries: the ministry of Jesus, Moses and Elijah, will be manifested here on Earth in human flesh.
We have already seen that the Coming of the Word, of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 (which is the Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant), is fulfilled in human flesh in a man of this time; His Coming is fulfilled in human flesh; it is the Word incarnate in a man, it is the Word coming in human flesh at the Last Day.
And what will be the ministry of Elijah on this planet Earth for the fifth time? The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said on page 399 of the book of The Seals, in the question number 11 that they asked him…, which says the following21:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (in other words, that is the fifth Elijah, one of the Two Olive Trees), the real man who lived on earth, in the days of Ahab, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?
(The answer was):
I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit.”
A man of what time? Not the first Elijah, who lived in the land of Israel, because that is a man from another time in the past. He says:
“I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see, he says, when Elijah was caught up, and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, they said: ‘Does not… on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did.”
And now, the ministry of Elijah manifested for the fifth time will come in a man of this time.
When the ministry of Elijah passed from Elijah to Elisha, where Elijah had ended, where Elijah had carried out his last work, which was to part the Jordan, then Elisha stood in front of the Jordan, on the way back, and he parted it again with the mantle of Elijah22. The mantle represents the Word, which is also the two-edged Sword.
And now, Elijah in his fourth manifestation was opening the Seals, he opened as far as the Sixth Seal; and then, we find that he left and he never opened the Seventh Seal. But when the ministry of Elijah returns for the fifth time, where Elijah ended, that is where Elijah in his fifth manifestation will continue, and he will open the Fifth Seal; because Elijah is coming with Moses, Elijah is coming with the Son of Man.
Notice, Elijah is coming at the Last Day as one of the Two Olive Trees, and Moses is also coming as the other of the Two Olive Trees. Those are the two great ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man, which will be manifested in human flesh in the same veil of flesh where the Angel of the Covenant is manifested; because the only one who has ministries is the Angel of the Covenant, which is the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit; therefore, the only one who can manifest the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time is the Holy Spirit, it is Jesus Christ coming manifested in human flesh at the Last Day.
The Scripture says in First Peter, chapter 1, verses 10 and on, let us see what it says there:
“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them,(the Spirit of Christ was the one that was in the prophets of the Old Testament; it says) did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.”
Because the angels from Heaven are not sent to preach the Gospel, rather, the ones sent to preach the Gospel are: human beings.
The seven angel messengers are seven men sent by God, each one for each of the seven gentile Church ages; and in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is a prophet: the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, sent to preach the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the eternal Message, which is promised to be preached to all those that dwell on the Earth, according to Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6 and on, where it says:
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come…”
And who is the one that announces the day of vengeance of our God? Who is the one that announces that the hour of divine judgment has come? It is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ anointed with the Spirit of Christ, in whom the ministries of Jesus, Elijah and Moses will be manifested; and that is the preaching of the day of vengeance of our God, when he announces the divine judgment that is coming upon the human race, and he announces it with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
He comes preaching the day of vengeance of our God, to some; and he comes preaching the time and day of the redemption of the physical body for the elect of God; he comes announcing to the sons and daughters of God that we will be changed in the Age of the Cornerstone, at the Last Day, in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; at the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, because Christ said: “…and I will raise him up at the last day”; and the Last Day is the seventh millennium, is also called the Day of the Lord. And once the dead in Christ are resurrected, we who are alive will be changed.
And before the resurrection and our transformation, what is coming? The Great Voice of Trumpet sounding and revealing the things which must shortly come to pass at this end time; in other words, Christ comes manifested in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; and He comes proclaiming the Last Message, the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and with that Message, He comes revealing the mystery of His Coming, His Coming to His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Last Day (in other words, the seventh millennium); and thus, He comes showing His people, His Church, the great mystery of the Seventh Seal, the great mystery of His Coming.
The mystery of His Coming, of His First Coming, notice, was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (who delivered the Hebrew people) coming in human flesh, in a veil of flesh named Jesus; that was the mystery of the First Coming of Christ, and many stumbled over that veil of flesh in which He was manifested; He was a young carpenter from Nazareth, in other words, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant was fulfilled in a construction worker.
And now, in the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant at the Last Day, veiled and revealed in human flesh for the second time, some will stumble because they will say: “But I was not expecting Him this way.” But that is how it was ordained by God to be fulfilled.
And the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said: “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”; in other words, in a man of this end time. That is the promise of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Word for the Last Day.
And that veil of flesh will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, he is a dispensational prophet in whom the Angel of the Covenant will come manifesting the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus.
On page 449 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says23:
“Only one Spirit that’s ever been on the earth, that I know of. Would either be… It would have to be Elijah, in his time. And it was predicted that it would be, which is nothing but the Spirit of Christ. When Christ come, He was the fullness. He was the Prophet. He was the God of the prophets.”
Now we can see the mystery of the coming of Elijah: it is the Holy Spirit, the one who was in the prophet Elijah, in the prophet Elisha, in the prophet John the Baptist, in the prophet William Marrion Branham, operating the ministry of Elijah on different occasions and in different veils of flesh.
And for the Last Day, Elijah will come for the fifth time; and that is the Coming of the Holy Spirit in another man, manifesting the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time; and manifesting the ministry of Moses for the second time, because we have the promise that Moses will come at the end time.
Therefore, that is the Holy Spirit coming in human flesh in a man operating the ministry of Moses for the second time. And we have the promise that Jesus will come at the Last Day; and Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
And when He appeared to Saul of Tarsus, He told him in that Pillar of Fire “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” Saul knew that Light was the same that had appeared to the prophet Moses and had told him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,” and had delivered the Hebrew people through Moses.
And now, He appeared to Saul of Tarsus and He tells Saul of Tarsus that Saul is persecuting Him. How can that be? Because he was persecuting all the believers in Christ, he was persecuting the Church of Jesus Christ; and he who persecutes the Church of Jesus Christ is therefore persecuting Christ, because Christ is in His Church, and His Church is His Mystical Body of believers.
Because whoever persecutes one of these little ones, who is he persecuting? Christ; and whoever gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones, Christ said: “He has done so unto me” and “he will not lose his reward.24”
In the judgment of the nations of Matthew, chapter 25, when they are judged, the goats are judged and the sheep are judged, He tells the goats: “Depart from me, ye cursed, depart from me,” He says, and He casts them into the eternal fire. Why? He says: “For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was in prison, and ye visited me not”; and so on, He continues listing a countless number of things they did not do.
And then they say: “When did we see You hungry, and not feed you? Thirsty, and not give You drink? When did we see You naked, and not clothe You? When did we see You in prison, and not visit You? When did we see You have any of these needs, and not serve You?” Notice… “And when did we see You a stranger and…?”
“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand…”
First, He speaks to the ones on the right; but what does He say to the ones on the left?
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand(Matthew, chapter 25, verse 41 and on): Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”
Now, notice that those who have not helped the sons and daughters of God, the Church of Jesus Christ in her different stages or ages, when they had the opportunity to help, will lose the blessing of entering into eternal life.
That is why we find that the Church of Jesus Christ has had needs: the members of the Mystical Body of Christ have had different needs so that many people whose names are written in the Book of Life may also have the opportunity, so that they have the opportunity to serve the elect of God, and so that the names of those people may remain written in the Book of Life. Not in the section of the Lamb’s Book of Life, because only the elect of God belong to that section; but there is another section where millions of human beings are written, and where, in the different stages of the Church of Jesus Christ, they have had the opportunity to serve the elect of God.
And from age to age, we find that many of them are found in the group of the foolish virgins, who are professing Christians, but who have not received the Holy Spirit, and therefore, they have not received the new birth; but those people will have the opportunity to live eternally, because after the Final Judgment they will come forth to eternal life, they will be judged but they will enter into eternal life.
And here we have a judgment that is applied to the nations as nations, and it will be applied at this end time; and it is also applied to people as individuals at this end time; and it is also applied to individuals in the Final Judgment, because those who lived during the different ages will appear there, and they will be judged by Christ and His Church.
The Church of Jesus Christ, before the great tribulation and before the Millennial Kingdom, will already have eternal life and they will have an eternal body; therefore, they will already enter —the wise virgins— into eternal life with an eternal body. When they receive the Coming of the Bride-Groom and go in with Him to the Marriage, and then the door is shut, they will enter into eternal life; they will have a new body: those who are alive in Christ will be changed and those have died will be resurrected, and then they will enter into eternity physically as well.
And now, notice, there will be people whose names are erased, why? Because they had the opportunity to help the elect of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, and they did not do it; but many will also enter into eternal life, why? Because they helped the children of God, the elect of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, the members of the Mystical Body of Christ; and since they did it unto these little ones (which are the elect of God), Christ says: “Ye have done it unto me,” and they will enter into eternal life.
Christ said: “Whoever will give a cup of cold water to one of these, My little ones, will not lose his reward.” And the reward of Christ is eternal life; there is no reward greater than eternal life.
Now, we can see that at this end time there will also be people who will help the elect of God. That is why we will have certain needs, whether financial or another kind, and people who will help us will appear; and God works in that, so that those people receive the blessing of eternal life.
Perhaps someone else may say that we are the ones who are benefiting, but that is not the case: the one who is benefiting is the one who is helping us, because the reward of Christ is eternal life.
That is why, when those moments come, let them help you, because you will be allowing the blessing of God to reach those people, so that they may live eternally, so that their names are not erased from the Book of Life; because those people have their names written in the Book of Life.
So remember: all those people who will be helping the Church of Jesus Christ in our age will be people like those who helped the Church of Jesus Christ in past ages; therefore, recognize that those people have their names written (where?) in the Book of Life.
And now, those who receive the Word, receive the Message, believe It with all their soul and enter into the Mystical Body of Christ, well, recognize that those people have their names written in the section of the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Now, we can see that at this end time, the Light of the Seventh Seal —which is the Light of the Second Coming of Christ, the Light of the manifestation of the Angel who was different from the rest, the Light of the Angel of the Covenant, the Light of Jesus Christ coming in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh, the Light of the Word made flesh— will be shining where? In Latin America and the Caribbean at this end time.
And those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, in the Latin American and Caribbean territory: will receive the same blessing, the same manifestation as when the Light was manifested there in Zabulon and Nephthalim: they saw the Light manifested, shining; and as Jesus Christ preached, the Light shined and enlightened their soul and their understanding; and the elect of God in those territories said: “You are the Christ, You are the Messiah, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel!”; in other words, they received the revelation of who Jesus Christ was, they received the revelation of who the Word was, the Word made flesh in a man of that time, named Jesus of Nazareth.
And now, notice, the Light shone in a man of that territory, the Light of the First Coming of Christ. The Light of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, was shining through that man named Jesus of Nazareth; and It shone throughout the entire territory of Israel. That was the territory that had the promise of the First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Word made flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people, as John, chapter 1, verse 14 says, where it says: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us”; and we knew Him by the name of whom? Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, our beloved Savior; but notice who was the one in that veil of flesh.
On one occasion, He said: “Abraham desired to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.” They told him: “You are not fifty years old yet, and you say you have seen Abraham?” He tells them: “Before Abraham was, I am.25”
And how was it possible that He was before Abraham, when His physical body had been born in Bethlehem of Judea about 30…, 30 to 33 years before that? It was possible because even though His physical body was still not there at that time, He was in His theophanic body, which is a body similar to our body but from another dimension, called the Word of God, called the Angel of the Lord, called the Angel of the Covenant, who delivered the Hebrew people.
And now we discovered that the one who delivered the Hebrew people from Egypt was our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His theophanic body; and now we discovered that the one who created all things was our beloved Lord Jesus Christ while in His theophanic body.
Notice, John shows that here in chapter 1, verse 1 and on, says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
In other words, everything was made by Him, by the Word, that was with God and was God; meaning, God in His theophanic body: His theophanic body is called the Word of God.
And now, God with His theophanic body is God with the Word: God with His body of the sixth dimension; and God with His body of the sixth dimension and from that body He created all things, He spoke the entire Creation into existence, everything at its appointed time. And then, what did He do? Verse 14 of John, chapter 1, says:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
He was clothed in a body of flesh of this dimension, which was born in Bethlehem of Judea through the virgin Mary and He was named Jesus.
The one who was in that body of flesh was the Word, which had created all things, the Word that was with God and was God. It was the Almighty God in His theophanic body, who created a body for Himself in Mary’s womb, which was born in Bethlehem of Judea and in which God, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, dwelled.
Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14, says: “Therefore the Lord himself…”, “For the Lord Himself…”, let us see.
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
What does Emmanuelmean? God with us. It was God with us in the form of a man, in the form of a prophet.
In First Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16, Saint Paul says: “And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God has been manifested in the flesh, seen of angels, received up into glory, and preached unto the gentiles.”
What the preaching of the Gospel of the Grace reveals is the Coming of God, the Word made flesh in the veil of flesh named Jesus.
That is the First Coming of Christ: it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word, the Word made flesh in a man. And that is also the Second Coming of Christ: the Coming of the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Word made flesh in a man of this end time, who is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; in whom the Word will be manifested, the Word, Christ in Holy Spirit, carrying out His Work pertaining to the Last Day, and shining at the Last Day in Latin America and the Caribbean, so that He may also shine in the entire world.
He will shine in the midst of the Hebrew people, because the Hebrew people have the promise that the Sun of Righteousness will shine upon them as well; and that is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ coming manifested in a veil of flesh of this end time.
But that veil of flesh is not the Lord Jesus Christ, he is not the prophet Moses and he is not the prophet Elijah either. That veil of flesh, called the Angel of Jesus Christ, is a man of this time, the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone, where Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit, operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time.
In other words, the Lord is the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, but the veil of flesh is not the Lord; he is only the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why when John tried to worship him, he did not allow him to, he did not accept that worship, because he is a prophet, a fellow servant of the prophets, a fellow servant of John; therefore, he will not receive worship, he will not accept it. “Worship God,” the Angel said to the apostle John on two occasions26.
This is because the Father must be worshiped in spirit and in truth. True worshipers will worship the Father (how?) in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such worshipers to worship Him27.
We are living in the most glorious time of all times. We are living in the time in which the Light of the Seventh Seal is shining in Latin America and the Caribbean; and those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, in Latin America and the Caribbean, Light is shining upon them to enlighten our understanding in our soul and in our spirit and in all of our being, so that we are able to see the fulfillment of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, veiled in human flesh and revealed through human flesh at this Last Day; so that we are able to see the Coming of the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10, coming in human flesh at the Last Day; so that we can see the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Word, the Word incarnate in a man of this end time as the Light of the Seventh Seal shining.
Christ is the Light of the Seventh Seal shining through human flesh in His Angel Messenger to enlighten the entire seventh millennium and every human being who lives on this planet Earth at this time, and all those who will live during the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, who are and where are the ones who will be seeing the Light of the Seventh Seal shining at the Last Day? Here we are. We are seeing the Light of the Seventh Seal shining in Latin America and the Caribbean, in the Age of the Cornerstone, and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and at the Last Day, in other words, the seventh millennium, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind.
May the blessings of the Seventh Seal shining with its Light be upon all of you and upon myself as well; and soon, may those who have yet to be called and gathered, the elect who are left, be called and gathered, and may the number of the elect of God in the Mystical Body of Christ be completed; and may the dead in Christ resurrect in eternal bodies, and we who are alive be changed; and all with the new body, after being here in that body for 30 to 40 days, may we all be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who will see and listen to this conference through the recording of this conference on video: May the blessings of our beloved Jesus Christ be upon each one of you, and may you all have a wonderful afternoon.
I will leave Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with us again to continue and conclude our participation on this occasion, thanking our beloved Lord Jesus Christ for THE LIGHT OF THE SEVENTH SEALshining among us in Latin America and the Caribbean in this time, at this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
With us Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin.
May God continue blessing you all.
“THE LIGHT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
