The Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom in the Last Day

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present here in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share a few moments of fellowship around the Word of God and to see His Program relevant to this end time, under the topic that corresponds to tonight: “THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN THE LAST DAY.”

For which I want to read in the Scripture of John, chapter 6, verses 39 to 40, where it says:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

And in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, it says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

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

We have here two very important prophecies in these two passages: One, that of the Last Day, of which Christ speaks to us and tells us that for the Last Day He will resurrect the believers in Him. In other words, the believers in Him who have departed, whose physical bodies have died, He says that He will resurrect them on the Last Day.

He also tells us in John, chapter 11, verses 21 and on; He says:

“Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

She saith (Martha) unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”

Now, we can see that Martha knew that the resurrection of the dead in Christ (in other words, the believers in Christ who would die in terms of their physical body): They wouldn’t be dead, because they would be in Heaven in their theophanic bodies, and so physical death for the believers in Christ was temporary, because Christ had said in chapter 6 that He would resurrect them in the Last Day.

And now Martha had learned the teachings of the resurrection of the dead in Christ for the Last Day very well; and she shows Christ that she had learned the lesson of Christ pertaining to the resurrection for the Last Day.

Jesus doesn’t tell Martha that she is wrong, because Jesus had taught that in the Last Day He would resurrect all the dead who have believed in Him, and have washed away their sins in His Blood, and have received His Holy Spirit; but for that promise to be fulfilled in Lazarus, Jesus Christ had to resurrect him before the Last Day; and then, in the Last Day, resurrect him as well.

How can this be understood? We find that for the Last Day resurrection of the believers in Jesus, every person must have believed in Christ as his Savior, washed his sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Holy Spirit, and, therefore, have been born again in the Mystical Body of Christ.

And while Jesus was on Earth preaching, none of the believers in Jesus had been born again. Christ taught that if He didn’t depart, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, couldn’t come to them¹; and if He couldn’t come to them, then the new birth, of which Christ spoke to Nicodemus that it was necessary to be born again in order to see the Kingdom of the Heavens, couldn’t take place.</sup>

And when Nicodemus became interested in the Kingdom of the Heavens or Kingdom of God, and asked Him how the new birth was: Whether it was by entering into his mother’s womb and being born, since Nicodemus was already advanced in age… And if Nicodemus… Saying to Him: “How can a man… How can this be done? Can a man, being old, enter into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

And if Nicodemus asks about an old man, it’s because he was that person; if not, he would have asked: “How can this be done, can a young man enter into his mother’s womb and be born again?” But since he was already advanced in age; and to be a member of the Sanhedrin, well, he had studied quite a bit, and that takes quite a few years for many people.

And now, notice, Nicodemus was interested in entering the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of the Heavens; and now Jesus tells him that it is required to be born again. Nicodemus is interested in entering the Kingdom of the Heavens and asks Him: “How can this be done?”, which Christ is speaking to him about.

Nicodemus thought that he had to be born again, that is, that it was something like those who think of reincarnation: to be born a second time (and some think that one is born on Earth a few times); but Jesus Christ told him that it was by being born of the Water and the Spirit.²

And that new birth neither father nor mother could carry it out; they have done much with what they know, and even being in an already fallen race. They have done something so great that still the scientists, with all that they have studied, can’t do it; but they say (the scientists say): “We have produced life in the laboratory and we have succeeded in producing a test-tube child.”

And now, when he grows up, who are they going to call mom and dad? Although his parents are those who placed the sperm and the egg (those are his parents), but then they will not know who they are.

And now, they are also placing in rented wombs or a rented womb…, to place the already fertile or fertilized egg – or already fertilized (is the word).

And now, when the child is born, he doesn’t know who the mother and the father really are; and even the one who gives birth to him is not the mother either, and he isn’t going to know who was the one who gave birth to him either; because that is done for people who are paying for [that] a person —a rented womb— to produce that child, so that later they can take that child and obtain him as if he were their child; but they have done nothing more than pay for someone to have that child; and not even, not even the egg, is from that woman.

So these are children that they could bring, that they don’t even know who their father is or who their mother is; even though the owners of the egg and the sperm are the real parents, but even they (the real owners, the real parents), they don’t even know that they have any child and who that child is.

Now, that is a sad thing for a child to appear on this Earth in that form.

Now, science may think that they have accomplished a great thing, but none of the scientists would like to be a child of that kind.

Now, they may say: “We have succeeded in producing life.” Well, no; they have not achieved even half of what our earthly parents, who are not scientists, have achieved.

And now, notice, they say: “No. We have succeeded in producing life in the laboratory and then also in rented wombs.” But notice, what did they use? They couldn’t create the raw material themselves: They had to use the raw material used by our parents. So they did nothing, they just channeled everything; and they couldn’t give them what our parents have given us: love, affection and all the other things that our parents give us.

To be a laboratory child or a surrogate womb child is a child without a father’s love and without a mother’s love; and that must be the saddest thing for a child, to appear in that form; and when he grows up, more terrible still; and when he is an old man, more terrible still.

Now, notice what science has accomplished; but the great thing that they think they have accomplished is something that produces sadness and sorrow to those for whom they have accomplished it and to those who have been the product of that accomplishment.

Now, by means of the new birth God achieves, by divine creation, to bring sons and daughters of God manifested in the sixth dimension, that is, in the dimension of the Word; just as He brought in the sixth dimension His theophanic body.

The body of the Word, called the Word of God, notice, it is a body similar to our body but of another dimension: Of the sixth dimension, which is the dimension of the Word. And then, in that dimension, notice the millions of angels there are in those theophanic bodies.

And notice how God also brought Adam (that is, Adam’s soul) into a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and created him a theophanic body, which is the image of God; because God made man first in the image and then in the likeness of God, in the image and likeness.³ The image is the theophanic body, that is, the theophany; and the likeness we have in Jesus.

The body of Jesus is the likeness of God; and the theophanic body of Jesus (called on different occasions the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, or Elohim or Melchizedek when He appeared to Abraham⁴), that is the image of God. And then we find that God has been descending from the seventh dimension; He passed into the sixth dimension there in a theophanic body, and then He passed into this earthly dimension in a physical body called Jesus.

Notice how the closest thing to God is the human being and the closest thing to the human being is God, God with His theophanic body and His physical body called Jesus.

Now, we can see that man is in the image and likeness of God; and God has been manifested in that likeness of man, that physical likeness: He was manifested in a body of flesh called Jesus. “Forasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took away the sin of the world for all the sons and daughters of God.”⁵

And now, God being in His theophanic body in the sixth dimension (in that theophanic body called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant, or Elohim or Melchizedek), in that form of Angel God appeared to many prophets of the Old Testament.

He appeared to Adam in that theophanic body; and Adam was also in his theophanic body, which God created for him; and then God, from the dust of the earth, created him a physical body of flesh and blood and bones; but God had not yet created Himself a physical body of flesh and blood, because that was in the Divine Program for later on.

Adam was already in a body of flesh, in the likeness of the body of flesh that God would have when God was manifested in human flesh. When He was manifested in human flesh in the person of Jesus, Saint Paul says in First Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16: “Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh.” That is a great mystery.

But notice how God has been coming down: From the seventh dimension He passed to the sixth dimension, where He appears on different occasions with that theophanic body; and then He came down to this earthly dimension in a body of flesh called Jesus.

The prophet Isaiah, in chapter 7, verse 14, says as follows:

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

(Immanuel means: God with us).⁶

Now see how God came to be with human beings in the midst of the Hebrew people: In the form of a man, in the form of a prophet, who —therefore— has the two consciousnesses together; and for that reason Jesus lived both worlds: the physical world and the spiritual world, and could see in both worlds, and could speak of both worlds, and could say: “Such a thing is happening” and then say in which of the worlds it was happening; and He could see first in the spiritual world things that would later materialize in the physical world. That is why Jesus sometimes spoke things and people couldn’t understand them.

You see, when He says: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven (and He was there on Earth).”⁷ And the people who heard Him said: “This man is beyond understanding. He says He came down from heaven, and now He is on Earth, and now He says He is in Heaven.” “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven (and He was there on Earth).”

And when He said that He is… when He said: “I am the Bread of Life which came down from Heaven; and he that eateth of this Bread shall live forever.”⁸ And He also said: “Whosoever eateth not my flesh, and drinketh not my Blood, hath not life abiding in him.”⁹ When He says that, then they think: “This man is a madman, because now He is teaching that one must eat His flesh; and this is only seen there in the Indians or savages of tribes who eat people. So this man must be left alone”; and they went away. The disciples said among themselves: “This is a hard Word; who can receive it?”¹⁰

Think: If a man, in this time, comes telling you that in order to live forever you have to eat his flesh and drink his blood, don’t you think that he is half out of his mind, or that he is preaching a religion of those Indians or tribes that eat people?

Now, you see how many people could think, of those who had seen the miracles of the loaves and fishes, and were very happy; because, when food is given to the people, well, everyone is happy; and if they don’t have to pay anything, much happier; and if it is in an hour when everyone is hungry, well, they are much happier.

And so were the disciples, and also all those people who ate the loaves and fishes; but now, when He tells them that now the food was His flesh and His Blood, there they thought that the thing had become very bad for them. If He spoke to them about eating loaves and fishes, they were happy; but now He spoke to them about eating His flesh and drinking His Blood. But there was a way, and it was not to literally eat His flesh and drink His Blood.

And now, thousands of people who were following Jesus are leaving. They couldn’t receive His Word, because they thought that those words He was speaking were not right; but they were right. What happens is that they couldn’t understand the meaning of Jesus’ words and He didn’t let them know the meaning of those words.

Now, notice that he who believes in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and washes his sins in the Blood of Christ, and receives His Holy Spirit: He obtains the new birth; therefore, that person has been eating the flesh and drinking His Blood.

And Christ typified His flesh and His Blood in the Holy Supper; He typified it there in the Last Supper as well.¹¹

And now, the disciples of Jesus Christ, while Jesus Christ was on Earth, none of them had been born again; therefore, any of them who died, if he wasn’t resurrected by Jesus at that time, couldn’t be raised in the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Last Day. Why? Because then that person belonged to the Old Testament saints; or he was left for the second resurrection, after the end of the Millennial Kingdom; he would belong to one of those two groups.

Now, if Lazarus was not resurrected by Christ in those days that he had died, then Lazarus was going to belong to the Old Testament saints; therefore, he was going to be resurrected when Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead, before the new birth began, which began on the Day of Pentecost. So He was going to resurrect with Abraham, Isaac, with all of them, when Christ was resurrected; because when Christ was resurrected, many of the Old Testament saints were resurrected with Him, it says in Matthew, chapter 27, verse 50 and on; it says:

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom…”

Remember that the veil of the temple represents Jesus at His First Coming. Jesus, that is, the Coming of the Lord, is always the Veil of the Temple; because He is the Door.¹² And when Jesus died there, that His body was wounded there to die, the veil of the temple was also wounded: It was torn, God tore it from top to bottom; for there was thunder, lightning and so on that occasion, and the earth also shook. It says:

“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 (in other words, there was a tremor or earthquake, a big earthquake, that day)<em>;

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection (that is, after the resurrection of Christ), and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”

Now, notice, when the Old Testament saints were resurrected there, they were resurrected with Christ. Therefore, if Lazarus had died and hadn’t been resurrected by Christ, on that occasion he would have been resurrected with Christ (Lazarus), if he belonged to the Old Testament saints. But if he didn’t belong to the Old Testament saints, and if Jesus didn’t resurrect him there on that occasion when He resurrected him (that is, while Jesus was in His earthly ministry), then Lazarus belonged neither to the Old Testament saints (of those who were to be resurrected) nor to the New Testament saints (who are to be resurrected in the Last Day, before the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom and before the beginning of the great tribulation); therefore, Lazarus belonged to the group that will receive eternal life after the Millennial Kingdom, in the second resurrection, where many people will be raised, who will receive eternal life at the Last Judgment.

But Lazarus, being a believer in Christ and being an elect of God, a chosen of God, had to be resurrected by Christ to die afterwards.

Now, notice, Jesus resurrected Lazarus and then Lazarus died, when he already had a certain number of years; but already, after the Day of Pentecost onwards, in some year he died (we don’t know if of old age or because of some health problem), but he had already obtained his new birth; as well as Martha and Mary also. Therefore, they belong, that whole family, belongs to the Kingdom of the Heavens, that is, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; they belong to the elect of God, to the sons and daughters of God.

And it is a great blessing when in the family all are believers, because they all belong to the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ. That is the greatest blessing that a family can have: That all are chosen of God, elect of God, firstborn of God, because all will receive the new body and will rule with Christ for a thousand years and then for all eternity.

And if any of that family leaves ahead, well, when he returns he will be a witness (for that family) that the resurrection has already happened and that the transformation for those who are alive has come; and those relatives who are alive will also be transformed and will also have the new body.

Now, the resurrection of the dead in Christ is appointed for the Last (what?) Day, which is the seventh millennium; for “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.”¹³

So what Jesus had taught in chapter 6, that on the Last Day He will resurrect them (that is, the believer in Him who has departed), and He will transform the living, as Saint Paul says in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13 to 17, and First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 55…

And also in Revelation he speaks of the resurrection, in chapter 20, verse 4 to 6, that first resurrection for the dead in Christ. And for us who are alive it will be the transformation of our bodies, if our bodies are still alive when the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place; then our bodies will not have to die, but be transformed.

Now, notice what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 373 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, it says:¹⁴

“^[391]… for we realize we have just a short time. And the Church might go at any time.

³⁹² The Lamb might, at any time, leave the sanctuary up There, or the Throne of sacrifice, come forth from the Throne of God where the sacrifice lays, and then it’s over; there is no more hopes for the world; she is finished. Then she goes into flusterations, of great spasms of earthquakes, and—and great shakings like it was at the resurrection. And—and, the—the…

³⁹³ As Christ rose from the grave, when the saints rise, the same thing will take place. Lord, it could be at any minute. We’re watching for that glad day to arrive.”

You see, it will be a time of earthquakes, of terrible shakings on Earth, but it will be a day of joy, of happiness, of joy, for all of God’s elect who will be alive at that time, because we will be seeing the return in eternal bodies of God’s elect of past ages and of those of our time who have already departed and whom we know. When they return in their eternal bodies we will know them also, when they speak with us.

Perhaps, if they departed as a little old man or woman, when we see them physically we will not know them; but when they talk to us and tell us about things that happened and that we know about, we will surely ask them: “And how do you know that?” He will say to us: “It is because I am the one who was there talking to you!”

— “How?”

—“Yes. Do you want to know something else? Do you remember such-and-such and such-and-such a thing?”

—“Yes.”

—“Do you remember when I told you such and such thing?”

—“Yes… Ah, so you are So-and-so.”

—“Of course I am!”

—“But when that happened, you were a little old man who was talking to me.”

—“But don’t you remember the teaching of Scripture that when the dead in Christ return, it will be in eternal, young bodies? Well, that promise is being fulfilled! I’m coming back; but I’m not coming back in the same old body, because I would die again; I’m coming back in an eternal body to continue living for eternity. To be in the Millennium, to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, I will not go with the old body; there they will not want me with an old body of flesh, but with a new body (because all those who will be there will be in new bodies, in eternal bodies).”

And upon noticing this and knowing these things, that will also be the moment for the transformation of the elect of God; as the dead in Christ are being seen resurrected, we are being transformed.

Now, notice, for that time, it says that as it happened in the resurrection of Christ, notice: The earth shook, an earthquake, there was a great shaking and all these things; that will also be repeated in this end time. That is why we have to have our lives arranged with God, to be prepared waiting for that great moment for our transformation; so that when that shaking happens… It says, let’s see how it says:

“³⁹² The Lamb might, at any time, leave the sanctuary up There, or the Throne of sacrifice, come forth from the Throne of God where the sacrifice lays, and then it’s over; there is no more hopes for the world; she is finished. Then she goes into flusterations, of great spasms of earthquakes, and—and great shakings like it was at the resurrection. And—and, the—the…

³⁹³ As Christ rose from the grave, when the saints rise, the same thing will take place.”

See what will be happening in those days.

So mankind will be quite confused with those earthquakes and shakings, but the elect will be rejoicing with joy, welcoming the saints, who come in eternal bodies: They come from Heaven taking their eternal bodies here on Earth, and appearing to us to have fellowship with us 30 to 40 days here on Earth; and then we will all go together, all with eternal bodies already, we will go to the great feast of the Marriage of the Lamb in Heaven.

All these things are promised to be fulfilled (when?) in the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium.

And for the Last Day, the seventh millennium, the Message being preached is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is the Message that Moses and Elijah will be preaching for the 144,000 Hebrews as well.

You see, on page one hundred… (let’s see over here) of the book of The Seals in Spanish; let’s see… page 123 first; we read where it says:¹⁵

“^[215] …‘Messiah will come, and He’ll be cut off, for a sacrifice, in the midst of the week…’”

In other words, in the middle of the seventieth week; which was already fulfilled with the First Coming of Christ; and in the middle of the seventieth week, according to Daniel’s prophecy, the Messiah’s life was taken away. In chapter 9, verse 24, of the book of Daniel, we find this: The prophecy of the seventieth week; and in the midst of that week, the life of the Messiah would be taken away, which has already been fulfilled.

“Then, there is still three-and-a-half years waited, for the Messiahic Doctrine to the Jew (Messianic teaching is the teaching of the Coming of the Lord).

²¹⁶ And God does not deal with the Jew and the Gentile at the same time. He deals with Israel as a nation, Gentile as an individual (that is, He does so individually). He never taken the Gentiles for His Bride; He taken a people out of the Gentiles.”

In other words, He didn’t call the gentiles (that is, the gentile nations, to be His Church), but what He has been doing is calling people from among the gentile nations (that is, individuals) to place them in His spiritual Body of believers, in His Church: He has been calling people from among the gentiles to be the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Now He deals with Israel as a nation. And now there she sits, right there now, as a nation.”

And on page 310 of this same book of The Seals it says:¹⁶

“²⁹⁰ And they said (they asked Jesus in the book of Acts, chapter 1), ‘Well, why? Can we go back to the kingdom right now?’ The Jewish kingdom is to be set on the earth, you know. John said the kingdom was there, see, to be set.

Now, this is…”

In other words, what we have during the seven ages of the gentile Church, during the Dispensation of Grace; notice, he is speaking and he says:

“Now, this is the Kingdom of the Gospel, you see.

²⁹¹ But the kingdom of Jews will be preached by these—these two prophets…”

Now we can see who preaches to the Hebrew people the Kingdom for the Hebrew people: It is Moses and Elijah, that is, the Two Olive Trees. They will preach the Kingdom to them (therefore, they will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom), and they will speak to them about the Kingdom of God being established on Earth in the midst of the Hebrew people; where the Hebrew people will be the head of all nations, for there will be the Throne of God, the Throne of Christ, of the Messiah, from where He will rule, which is the Throne of David, where Christ sits as Son of David.

On page 351 of the book of The Seals in Spanish it says:¹⁷

“^[191] …this is when Israel received the Message of the kingdom…”

The Message of the Kingdom; not the Message of Grace, nor the Message of the Law, but the Message of the Kingdom; because in this end time the Dispensation of the Kingdom is intertwined with the Dispensation of Grace. And the Message that corresponds to Moses in his second manifestation, and to Elijah in his fifth manifestation, is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; that is the Message of the Kingdom that Revelation preaches, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, that is, the Two Olive Trees, the Two Anointed Ones.

“^[191] …this is when Israel received the Message of the kingdom, by the two prophets of Revelation 11. Remember, Israel is a nation, God’s servant, nation.”

And the members of the Church of Jesus Christ, what are they? They are the sons and daughters of God. Which is greater before God: a servant or a son? A son is greater than a servant before God.

“And when—when—when Israel is brought in, it’ll be a—a national affair.

¹⁹² Israel, the kingdom age, is where David…the Son of David, sits on the throne. That’s the reason that woman cried, ‘Thou Son of David!’ And David is to… Son of David! God swore by Him, to David, that He would raise up His Son that would take his throne. It would be an everlasting throne. See? It’d have no end. Solomon give it, in a type, in the temple. And Jesus just told them here, that’s, ‘There won’t be a rock left on one of them.’ But He is trying to tell them here, what’s… He is coming back. ‘When are You coming back?’

¹⁹³ ‘These things will take place before I come back.’ And here they are! Now we’re at the time of the Tribulation. Remember, when the kingdom is set up, on the earth…

(…) ¹⁹⁵ In the time of the Millennium, it’s Israel that’s a nation…”

Now, when is the Kingdom established? It says: “In the time of the Millennium…” In other words, the seventh millennium begins and in some year of the seventh millennium the Kingdom of God is established on this planet Earth in the midst of the Hebrew people. After the great tribulation passes, Christ will be seated on the Throne of David ruling over the Hebrew people and over all nations.

Now, the seventh millennium or the Millennium is the Last Day. If we add to the calendar the years of delay that it has, we are already in the seventh millennium; if we don’t add the years of delay that the calendar has, there are two to three years left to finish the sixth millennium and enter the seventh millennium.

Now, the Message for the seventh millennium is the Message of the Kingdom, 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, as Son of Man and Son of David, to sit on the Throne of David.

And it is the Coming of the Son of Man, as Jesus said in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27 to 28, when He spoke to us, saying:

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

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

Before the Kingdom is established, well, it must come. And how does the Kingdom of God come in order to be established on Earth? It comes in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.

That is why on Mount Transfiguration, in Matthew, chapter 17, verse 1 to 7, Christ was showing there the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, coming in His Kingdom; and there it is in miniature, everything that will be materialized in the Coming of the Kingdom of God with the Son of Man and His Angels, everything is placed there to be fulfilled in the Last Day.

That is why there, on Mount Transfiguration, Christ appears with His face like the sun: because the prophet Malachi and other prophets speaking (as in the Psalms), speaking of the Coming of the Lord, said: “To those who fear my Name, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise, and on His Wings He shall bring salvation.”¹⁸

The literal sun has no literal wings; but Christ, who is the Sun of Righteousness, has His mighty Wings, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, they are the Angels of the Son of Man; and that is why they appeared on each side of the Lord, as the two wings of an eagle appear, one on each side: they appeared there, on each side of the mighty Eagle, Jesus Christ, Moses and Elijah appeared, the two mighty Wings of the greater Eagle, of Jesus Christ in His Second Coming.

And His face there shone like the sun, because His Coming is as King of kings and Lord of lords. The sun is the king star, and Jesus Christ is the Sun of Righteousness and is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

In other words, the things that we see there, on Mount Transfiguration, are symbols that are being shown in this vision, to be fulfilled, materialized, in the Last Day.

And now, notice how for the Last Day it is established in the Scripture how the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels will be, coming in the Kingdom of His Father.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said on page 59 of the book of The Ages</em>; he says (in Spanish):¹⁹

“And the three apostles did see just that — the order of His second coming. They saw Him transfigured there on the mountain top. His raiment was blazing white and His face shone like the sun at its zenith. And there as He appeared, stood Moses and Elijah on either side. That is exactly how He is coming again. Truly Elijah will first come and turn the hearts of the children (bride) back to the fathers’ Apostolic Word Doctrine.”

Now, see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ teaches us here: He shows us the order of the Second Coming of Christ, showing us that what was seen on Mount Transfiguration is what will be seen at the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.

And Mount Transfiguration there is type and figure of the Mount of God, Mount Zion, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is on that Mount that the vision of Mount Transfiguration will be seen fulfilled; that is where He in the Last Day fulfills what was shown in the vision of Mount Transfiguration.

In other words, that was a vision. That is why He said to His disciples, later on, in the same chapter 17: “Tell no man the vision, until the Son of Man has resurrected from the dead.” He says:

“And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”

Now we can notice the order of His Coming. In the Coming of the Kingdom of God there must be the Son of Man with His face like the sun (that is, He must be as King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ), and Moses and Elijah must be there.

And now, Moses and Elijah. What will Elijah be in the Last Day as the fifth Elijah, which is one of the Two Olive Trees? On page 399 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, they ask our brother Branham, in question number 11, about the fifth Elijah; and they ask him:²⁰

“¹⁸² Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews, the real man who lived on the earth, in the days of Ahab, or will he be the 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?) of this time. Not a man of the past, but a man of the present: A man of the time where that prophecy is being fulfilled, a man of this time anointed with that spirit.

A man in whom the Holy Spirit will be operating that ministry of Elijah for the fifth time; just as He operated the ministry of Elijah in Elijah the Tishbite, then operated it in Elisha (who asked for a double portion of the spirit that was in Elijah), then operated it in John the Baptist for the third time (Jesus said: “He is that Elijah who was to come (speaking of John the Baptist), if you will receive him”²¹); and then He operated the ministry of Elijah in the Reverend William Branham for the fourth time: he is the Elijah who was to come forerunning the Second Coming of Christ; and he is gone, but he left his Message.</sup>

That is why we refer to his Message in our time: because he is the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. Therefore, through his messages he shows how the Coming of the Son of Man will be for the Last Day, how the Coming of the Son of Man will be; because the Scripture says that it will be the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, and His Angels are Moses and Elijah.

And now, how will Elijah come? He will be a man anointed with that spirit, with that ministerial spirit of Elijah; because the Spirit of God will be in him, anointing him with the ministry of Elijah.

Just as the Spirit of God was in John the Baptist; it says that he was filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb,²² and he was that Elijah who was to come; he was anointed with that ministry of Elijah, with the spirit and power of Elijah, and he was the Elijah forerunner of the First Coming of Christ.

And Elijah coming again for the fourth time was the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; he was an anointed man, another anointed man, with that ministerial spirit of Elijah, which was the Reverend William Branham.

And for the Last Day, the Elijah who will preach to the Hebrew people will be an anointed man of this time with that spirit, a man in whom the Holy Spirit will be manifesting the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time.

So it is also for Moses: The Moses to come will be a man anointed with that ministerial spirit of Moses, who will be the second Moses for this end time; and this is if we don’t count Jesus as the second Moses. If we count Jesus as the second Moses, then it would be the third Moses the manifestation of the ministry of Moses in the Last Day; but only counting the first Moses, the one who brought the Hebrew people out of the land of [Egypt], and then counting one of the Two Olive Trees as the second Moses for this end time.

And now, what will be the Coming of the Son of Man, the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, on page 277, he tells us that the Rider is the Holy Spirit, in other words, Christ in the Holy Spirit is the Rider of that white horse of Revelation. It says on page 277 in Spanish, of the book of The Seals, while praying he says:²³

“³⁹¹ …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.”

But now for the Coming of the Kingdom of God, for the Coming of the Son of Man in His Kingdom with His Angels, how will the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 come, how will the Holy Spirit (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant) come, how will He come? Page 256 says:²⁴

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

That is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, that is the Coming of the Son of Man; and with His Angels, for it is the Holy Spirit anointing a man of this time, and manifesting in that man the ministries of Moses for the second time and Elijah for the fifth time, and anointing that man with the ministry of Jesus for the second time.

The ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah will be manifested in that man where the Holy Spirit will be, where Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit to fulfill His promises relevant to this end time; but that man will not be Elijah literally speaking, neither will he be Moses literally speaking, nor will he be Jesus literally speaking.

That is why when John the apostle wanted to worship the Angel of Jesus, the Angel told him not to do it²⁵; because the Angel of Jesus Christ is the instrument of Jesus Christ, through whom Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifests Himself and operates these ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah, in the Last Day, in this end time in which we are living.</sup>

And after the dead in Christ are resurrected and we who are alive are transformed, then we will see Jesus Christ in His body; because “we shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we always be with the Lord,”²⁶ and we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

But before that moment when we are already transformed, before that moment when we are transformed and caught up to Heaven, we will be seeing Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel Messenger operating these three great ministries: The ministry of Moses for the second time, the ministry of Jesus for the second time and the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time.

And even with all that, that Angel is neither Jesus Christ, nor is he Moses, nor is he Elijah, but in him will be those three great ministries manifested; because the Holy Spirit (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit) will be operating those ministries; because that is the Anointed One with the Holy Spirit for the Last Day, who comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom preaching it.

Because that Message being preached is the Great Voice of Trumpet sounding in this end time, and calling and gathering all of God’s elect.²⁷ That is the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom calling and gathering all the elect of God, and making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.

And after He has concluded the work among the gentiles, then Christ will turn to the Hebrew people through His Angel Messenger; and with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels (revolves around the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels: revolves around the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest manifesting the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah in the Angel of Jesus Christ), with that Message He will call and gather 144,000 Hebrews.

The Hebrews are waiting for the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Messiah; and when they speak of the Coming of the Messiah, which they are waiting for, they say they are waiting for (what?) a man, a prophet. Why? Because it is in a prophet where these blessings for the Hebrew people will be manifested.

The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which was manifested in human flesh two thousand years ago in the veil of flesh called Jesus, in this end time will be manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is what the Hebrew people are waiting for: To see that man anointed with the Holy Spirit; to see that anointed man, in whom the Angel of the Covenant will come, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, manifested in human flesh; that is what the Hebrew people is waiting for.

But until the elect among the gentiles enter in all their fullness (that is, the number of God’s elect among the gentiles is completed), and the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place, and our transformation takes place, the Hebrew people have to continue waiting there; because the Work among the gentiles is not yet finished.

When it is finished, the dead in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies, we who are alive will be transformed, and then the Hebrew people will have their opportunity.

Now we can see this mystery of “THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN THE LAST DAY.” And we have seen who is the messenger that comes in the Last Day preaching the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message of the Dispensation of the Kingdom: It is the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom Christ will be manifesting Himself in this end time.

“THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN THE LAST DAY.”

That is the Message that begins in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Day, because God begins to fulfill the promises relevant to the Coming of the Kingdom of God, and the Message revolves around the fulfillment of those promises. Therefore, the first ones that will know the Message and will hear the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom are the elect of this end time, which are called and gathered with that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and then it will be the Hebrew people’s turn for that blessing.

And that is the Message that will be preached throughout the Millennial Kingdom; and then it will pass into eternity, in other words, it will pass into a new phase or stage in the Kingdom of God; because the Kingdom of God, which begins in the Millennium, which is established in the Millennium and rules upon the Earth, the Kingdom of God then continues for all eternity.

It has been a very great privilege for me to be with you, giving you testimony of: “THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN THE LAST DAY.”

And where are the first ones who would hear the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom in the Last Day? Well, here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean, listening to the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom in the Last Day.

May the blessings contained in the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the elect of God, for this Last Day, be upon each of you, and materialize in each of you and in me too. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

God bless you and good night.

“THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN THE LAST DAY.”
