The blessing of obeying the Angel of God

Good afternoon, beloved brethren and friends present, and those who are through the internet. May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me also, and on this occasion may Christ speak to us through His Word directly to our hearts, and thus allow us to see, to understand His Word relevant to this end time.

I want to read in Exodus, chapter 23, verse 20 to 23, where it says:

“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

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

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”

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

In Revelation God also speaks to us of the Angel of Jesus, and He tells us in chapter 22, verse 16, of Revelation:

“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 now, our topic for this occasion is: “THE BLESSING OF OBEYING THE ANGEL OF GOD”; that is, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of YHWH.

And now, why is there a blessing there, in obeying the Voice of the Angel of God, the Voice of the Angel of the Lord? God said in Exodus, chapter 23, verse 20 to 23: because He has been sent to guide the people and bring them to the promised land; and the Name of God is in the Angel. And He says:

“…provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”

Here the Angel of the Lord is the theophanic body of God, in which God is manifested. In other words, the Angel of the Lord is a man of the sixth dimension, which was seen in the Old Testament by some people, and they called Him the Angel of the Lord; which is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In other words, He is a manifestation of God in the form of a man of the sixth dimension; in a body of the sixth dimension, similar to one of our bodies, but of the sixth dimension.

He is also called the Word that was with God and was God, and created all things: “By Him all things were made, and without Him was not anything made that was made,” we are told in chapter 1 of the Gospel according to John, verse 1 to 18. And it also tell us: “And that Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.”

When the Word, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, became flesh and dwelt among human beings, we knew Him by the name of Jesus; and we find that in the veil of flesh —that is, in the garment of flesh— was the Name of the One who was within that garment, for the Work that He would carry out on this Earth through that veil of flesh.

Through that garment of flesh, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is God Himself with His theophanic body manifested in a body of flesh called Jesus, would carry out the Work of Redemption as the Lamb of God on Calvary’s Cross. And therefore, He had to have the Name of God for Redemption, with which He would carry out the Work of Redemption. And He had to be adopted; which happened on Mount Transfiguration, before He carried out the Work of the Lamb of God on Calvary’s Cross. And God from Heaven testified, saying: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.”¹ And since He was adopted, He could do the Work of the Lamb of God on Calvary’s Cross to take away the sin of mankind.

Now, we can see that the Angel of the Lord manifested in human flesh, in the form of flesh, carried out the Work pertaining to that time.

And those who heard the Voice of God through His manifestation —through His Angel— in the Old Testament, pleased God: They were hearing the Voice of God through the manifestation of God through the veil of the sixth dimension, through the veil: of the theophanic body, of the sixth dimension. And then, when God had a veil of flesh in this dimension, called Jesus, those who heard the Voice of Jesus were hearing the Voice of God.

That is why Jesus could say: “The Word which thou gavest me I have given them, and they received it.”²

Now see, those who heard the Voice of God through Jesus, were pleasing God; but those who didn’t hear the Voice of God through Jesus, were outside the will of God.

Jesus said: “He who is of God, hears the Voice of God.”³

And now, Jesus, aware of who He is and who was within Him, could say: “The Father who dwells in me, He shows me what I must do,”⁴ and “the Father works, and I work.”⁵ “The works that I do, I don’t do of myself, but as the Father shows me. As I see the Father do, so I do.”⁶

And so on, we can see that the works that God promised for that time, to be done at that time, were being done by Jesus. Why? Because God was in Jesus manifested in human flesh.

That is why Saint Paul in his letter to the Hebrews, in chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, says:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”

Through whom has God (says Saint Paul) spoken in the last days? Through His Son, through Jesus.

Two thousand years have already passed since Christ, and what Saint Paul said: That those days in which God spoke through Jesus, which were the last days, still stands.

They were the last days, because the last days began when Jesus was 3 to 7 years old, because the fifth millennium began when Jesus was 3 to 7 years old. The last days before God are the last millenniums for human beings, which are the fifth millennium, the sixth millennium and the seventh millennium.

And for this Last Day… We find that Jesus Christ has spoken, throughout the seven ages of the gentile Church, in these two thousand years that have passed, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit has spoken through His apostles and also through the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church. And for this end time, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be speaking through His Angel Messenger; that is for the Last Day.

And now, the one who comes in the Name of the Lord and is adopted in the time that he has his ministry, notice, he is a dispensational prophet. The prophets of ages don’t become adopted, but dispensational prophets can become adopted, as Jesus was adopted.

The other dispensational prophet that will be adopted is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, who will be adopted in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium; and that is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, all those who obeyed the Voice of God in the Old Testament, the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, through the prophet Moses, and also through the different prophets that God sent for the people to return to God when they had turned away from God: They pleased God, because they heard the Voice of the Angel of the Lord, of the Angel of the Covenant, who was manifested in the prophet Moses and also manifested in a lesser scale in the different prophets of the Hebrew people under the Dispensation of the Law.

And then He came manifested in all His fullness in the prophet of the Dispensation of Grace, Jesus of Nazareth; and that was the First Coming of Christ, the First Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in all His fullness; and He came in a body created by God in the womb of a young virgin named Mary, who is our sister.

And now, for the Last Day we have the promise, from Jesus Christ, of the resurrection of the dead in Christ (for the Last Day, that is, for the seventh millennium) and we have the promise of the transformation of us who are alive.

We have the promise of the Great Voice of Trumpet sounding, and calling and gathering the elect; We have the promise of that Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, sounding and revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which has been manifested in the Old Testament in the different prophets that He has sent, and then in Jesus in all His fullness, and then in the apostles and the seven angel messengers in the portion pertaining to each age; and for this Last Day He will be manifested in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the prophet messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

And just as those who heard the angel messenger of each age were hearing the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, the Voice of Jesus Christ, the Voice of the Holy Spirit…; and they pleased God, and were called and gathered and placed in the Mystical Body of Christ; and were sealed in the Mystical Body of Christ with the Seal of the living God: With the Holy Spirit; and they thus obtained the new birth, and obtained the theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and they have the promise, for the Last Day, to be resurrected at the Last Day in eternal bodies.

And now, we who live in the Last Day would be hearing the Voice of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; who became flesh and was called Jesus Christ, two thousand years ago, and who has been from age to age manifested through His angel messengers in the portion pertaining to each age; and in the Last Day He will be manifested in His Angel Messenger, speaking to us and making known to us all these things that must shortly be done.

And those who will be hearing the voice of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, will therefore be hearing the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, speaking to us through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which comes in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, He comes in the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is why, being a son of God that comes in the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, he has the promise in Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17, which says: “To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden Manna (and I write upon him)…”

The hidden Manna is the revelation of Jesus Christ for the Dispensation of the Kingdom: The revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work; the revelation for the generations to come after the seven ages of the gentile Church and after the Dispensation of Grace, the generations to come in the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

That is the revelation: The revelation of the Second Coming of Christ, which all these generations coming for the seventh millennium will have.

And the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord⁷ in His Second Coming; that is, in the manifestation of the glory of the Lord, in the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, in His second manifestation in human flesh, in the Last Day, through His Angel Messenger.

And since that manifestation is in a son of God, that son must come in the Name of the Lord. And that is why he has the promise that Christ will give him a little white Stone, and on that little Stone is written a name that no one knows, a new name that no one knows but the one who receives it.

That little white Stone is the Stone not cut with hands that the prophet Daniel saw in the interpretation of the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had, in chapter 2 of the book of the prophet Daniel.

And that little white Stone is the Coming of the Stone not cut with hands; it is the Coming of the Head of the Corner, of the Stone that the builders rejected⁸; it is the Coming of that Cornerstone: The Coming of Christ, for the Last Day.

Because He is the Cornerstone that the religious builders, the religious leaders of the Hebrew religion: The high priest and his father-in-law (the other high priest, who had been in the time before Caiaphas, which was Annas), they and the Council of the Sanhedrin…; with the exception of Joseph of Arimathea, Gamaliel and Nicodemus (and perhaps some others)…; the rest rejected the Head of the Corner, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in human flesh in His First Coming.

It was the Coming of the Word in human flesh, and therefore He brought the Name of God; because being the Coming of the Word, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, where is the Name of God? In the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant. And when He came in human flesh, there was the Name of God for Redemption.

For the Last Day the Word of God returns in Revelation, chapter 19; and He comes manifested as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, verses 11 to 21.

Christ said in John, chapter 12, verse 28: “Father, glorify Thy Name.” And what did God say?

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

He glorified It at the First Coming of the Word made flesh, and He will glorify It at the Second Coming of the Word made flesh.

And what will be the Coming of the Word, the Word made flesh in the Last Day? Let’s see what will be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Word of God. Page 256 of the book of The Seals, says Reverend William Branham:⁹

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

The Word of God incarnate in a man is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19; it is the Coming of the Word, who was with God and was God; it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ, manifested in human flesh at the Last Day in His Angel Messenger.

But His Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ, but in him will be the Lord Jesus Christ manifested in Holy Spirit in the Last Day; and therefore, that is the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ that receives the little white Stone with the New Name written on it, in other words, that receives Christ in His Second Coming; and he receives Him with the New Name, with His New Name. That is why in Revelation, chapter 3, we also have the promise for the Overcomer, where it says (chapter 3, verse 12):

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

Christ promises to write the Name of our God (God’s Eternal Name, YHWH), and the Name of the City of our God (which is the very Name of God), and His New Name (the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ) upon the Overcomer; for when Christ died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, He received a new name.

And now, we can see why it says that the little white Stone, which is the Second Coming of Christ, comes with a new name; and we can also see why Christ says that He will write upon the Overcomer the Name of our God, and the Name of the City of our God, and His New Name: Because He received a new name when He ascended to Heaven victorious.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, the Reverend William Branham, tells us on page 131 of the book of The Seals in the following way, in relation to that new name; he says:¹⁰

“²⁸³ And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.

²⁸⁴ It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’ Now, notice, ‘No man knowed, but Hisself.’

‘And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God.’

Oh, my! Notice!

‘And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.

And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’

Revelation 19:13-16

²⁸⁵ There comes the Messiah. There He is…”

It is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, Christ, coming in the Last Day; and that will be the Word, the Word incarnated in a man of this end time, who will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is why the Overcomer, who will be keeping the works of Christ in the Last Day until the end, is the one who will be given that little white Stone with the New Name; and the Name of our God, and the Name of the City of our God, and the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be written upon him; and he will be given authority over the nations; and he will also sit with Christ on His Throne.¹¹

Christ says in chapter 2, verse 26 to 28, of Revelation:

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations…”

He will give him authority over the nations. And that means that that Overcomer will be adopted at the end of time, in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and he will be manifested on Earth as the first of the children of Jesus Christ, the first of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ, who will be adopted; and there will also come the adoption for all the other children of God who will be living on Earth in that end time; and also for the dead in Christ, who are the other children of God belonging to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where they will be resurrected in eternal bodies and thus will receive their adoption; and they will be manifested on this Earth as sons and daughters of God with the eternal body. In other words, they will thus be adopted and will obtain the redemption of the body, that is, they will obtain the new body.

To redeem means ‘to return to the place of origin or original place.’ And the children of God will again have an eternal body; eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified, to live with Christ for all eternity. And they will all receive authority, because they will be manifested as kings and priests in the glorious Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

And I will give him the morning star.”

And what is the Morning Star? Christ is the bright and Morning Star, according to Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, where He tells us, when He sends His Angel, He 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.”

In other words, the Overcomer receives the bright and Morning Star, receives Christ in His Second Coming; and Christ will be manifested in him in the Last Day.

Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in the Overcomer, in His Angel Messenger; and since He comes with His New Name, which is the Eternal Name of God, He comes with the Name with which He will reign for the Millennium and for all eternity, the Overcomer receives that Name; and He comes in that Name in the Last Day proclaiming the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and thus all the elect of God being called and gathered, which will be listening to that Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Voice of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, manifested through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must shortly be done.

And those who are of God will be hearing the Voice of God, the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, through His Angel Messenger; and they will be following the Lord Jesus Christ manifested through His Angel Messenger in the Last Day. And Christ will take us to the promised land of the new body and the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom.

In the time of the prophet Samuel, the Voice of God was where? In the prophet Samuel. Those who heard the voice of Samuel were hearing the Voice of God through the prophet Samuel.

God tells us through the prophet Samuel here in the biblical history, in chapter 15, verse 17 onwards [1 Samuel]:

“And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight (he tells Saul)…”

Let’s see, verse 16 onwards, so that you have a clear picture, it says:

“Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.

And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel?

And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.

Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord?

And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.”

Now look, Saul’s way of answering is an arrogant way, which doesn’t please God. If the prophet says that he had disobeyed the Voice of God, Saul was called to say: “Show me wherein I have disobeyed,” and recognize that he had disobeyed, and ask for forgiveness. But now Saul boasts that he has obeyed the Voice of God; but he had obeyed the Voice of God in part, but he hadn’t complied with all that the Voice of God had told him through Samuel the prophet. It says:

“But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.”

Now, he had taken of the anathema to offer sacrifice to God, which was wrong. And now, God had commanded him, through Samuel, had commanded Saul to also destroy sheep and all the spoil as well.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?”

In what does one please the most? In obeying the Voice of God, the words of our God.

“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry (and those two things were found in Saul by disobeying the Voice of God through the prophet Samuel). Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”

He who rejects the Word of God is rejected by God.

Christ Himself, speaking of these things, tells us in Matthew, chapter… let’s see… in one of the chapters He tells us: “He that shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him will I also be ashamed before My Father and before His holy angels.”

(Let’s see where we find that passage… I didn’t have it marked here, but let’s see if we can find it…). We don’t have it at hand, but you know that this passage is in the Bible. And whosoever shall be ashamed of the Son of Man, of Jesus Christ, of him shall He also be ashamed. Mark, chapter 8, verse 34 to 38, says:

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

He who is ashamed of Christ, He will also be ashamed of such a person in His Second Coming. It says:

“…of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels (that is the Second Coming of Christ).”

And at the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, which is the fulfillment of the vision of Mount Transfiguration¹²…, wherein the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels was shown, coming with His face as the sun; that is, coming as King of kings and Lord of lords, for the sun is the king star; and coming with His Angels, which are Moses and Elijah there, for at the Coming of the Son of Man the ministries of Moses and Elijah will be present.

And what will be the ministry of Moses and Elijah in the Last Day? What will be the coming of Moses and Elijah in the Last Day?

The ministry of Elijah has already been manifested four times on Earth: The first occasion in Elijah the Tishbite, the second occasion in Elisha (in a double portion), the third occasion in John the Baptist and the fourth occasion in the Reverend William Marrion Branham. In John the Baptist forerunning the First Coming of Christ and in the Reverend William Branham forerunning the Second Coming of Christ.

And the fifth occasion in which the ministry of Elijah will be manifested on Earth is in one of the Two Olive Trees, in the fulfillment of the coming of one of the Two Olive Trees of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 to 7, and Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 10 to 14.

And what will be the coming of Elijah in his fifth manifestation, as one of the Two Olive Trees, to bring the Message to the Hebrew people? Remember that Elijah’s ministry was manifested, he ministered, with Hebrews and also with gentiles.

And now, they ask Reverend William Marrion Branham, in the week of the activities of the opening of the Seven Seals, in the activity or worship of “Questions and Answers,” in question number 11, which is on page 399 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, they ask him:¹³

“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?

(The answer was):

^[148] I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see, there, when Elijah had gone up and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, he says, ‘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, see.”

What will be the coming of Elijah in his fifth occasion? What will be the coming of the Elijah who will preach to the Hebrew people? What will be the coming of the Elijah who is one of the Two Olive Trees? It will be the coming of the ministerial spirit of Elijah in a man of this time.

If we find that man, we will find Elijah in his fifth manifestation, we will find one of the Two Olive Trees, we will find there the anointed one with that ministerial spirit of Elijah; and he must be a prophet.

And after the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, which is the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church, the next prophet messenger that has to come is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom (in other words, a dispensational prophet), and therefore, he is the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, and therefore, he is also the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be the ministry of Elijah manifested for the fifth time in the Last Day.

And since the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be in the midst of the gentile Church of Jesus Christ, since he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, a redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, he will be first in the midst of the gentile Church; and Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger operating the ministry of Elijah for the Last Day.

On page 449 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, speaking of Elijah, it says:¹⁴

“^[89] …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.

⁹⁰ When Christ come, He was the fullness. He was the Prophet. He was the—the God of the prophets.”

Now notice that it is the Spirit of Christ who was in the prophet Elijah operating that ministry; it was the same Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, who was in Elisha operating the ministry of Elijah for the second time (because all ministries are of Christ, of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Holy Spirit); and then He was in John the Baptist operating that ministry that He had operated in the prophet Elijah.

That is why the Scripture, the Archangel Gabriel tells the priest Zechariah that he would have a son through his wife Elizabeth, and the name they would give him would be John, and he would be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.¹⁵

When Mary visited Elizabeth, John was in Elizabeth’s womb and Jesus was in Mary’s womb; and when Elizabeth heard the salutation, the greeting, John the Baptist (who was in Elizabeth’s womb, and was already about six months old in her womb) jumped for joy; there he was filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.¹⁶ And we find that John the Baptist, being in his mother’s womb, had already received the Spirit of God, even before he was born.

And now, the Spirit of Christ, which was in John the Baptist operating the ministry of Elijah for the third time, then it was in the Reverend William Branham operating the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time. And for the Last Day, in whom will the Spirit of Christ be manifested? In His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon.

And every ministry that He has promised to manifest at the Last Day will be manifested by the Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger.

Has the ministry of Elijah been promised to be manifested in the Last Day? Well, it will be manifested by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, through His Angel Messenger.

Has the ministry of Moses been promised to be manifested in the Last Day? Christ will manifest it in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger.

Has the ministry of Jesus been promised to be manifested in the Last Day? It will be manifested by Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, in the Last Day, through His Angel Messenger.

And there we will have the three great ministries that have been promised to be manifested on Earth, in the midst of the gentiles, in the Church of Jesus Christ and in the midst of the Hebrew people, for this end time.

Now, did you see how simple everything is? And that will be through the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, coming in the Last Day manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.

“¹⁹⁶ 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.”

That is what the Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, said.

That is the mystery of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 and the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10, as the Messenger to Israel, which is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant; but He has to take a veil of flesh to manifest Himself in the midst of His Church first, and then in the midst of the Hebrew people. And that veil of flesh is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, coming in the Last Day in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ and being the instrument of Christ for the Last Day.

On page 146 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, Reverend William Branham says:¹⁷

“⁴⁰² And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.”

For the Last Day, for the seventh millennium (in which we are already, if we add to the calendar the years of delay it has), on the one hand, the devil falls from Heaven, is cast out of Heaven, and comes incarnated in a man, that is, in the antichrist, in the man of sin, and becomes the beast; and on the other hand, in the Program of God in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit (which has been in the midst of His Church ascending from stage to stage and from age to age), has been going up, and in the Last Day ascends to the Age of the Cornerstone; and comes incarnated in a man in and of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And through His Angel Messenger, the Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh (the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, verse 11 to 21) makes known to us all these things that must happen soon; and thus speaks to us the whole Divine Program relevant to this end time; and reveals to us the mystery of His Coming, the mystery of the Seventh Seal: The mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of Christ coming manifested in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.

That is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, and that is the greatest mystery of all the mysteries of Heaven and Earth. That is the mystery contained in the Seventh Seal, which, when it was opened in Heaven (in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1), caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour; because no one in Heaven had knowledge, no one in Heaven knew that mystery; that is, no one knew what would be the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ, the Word, coming in the Last Day as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Word, of the Word incarnated in a man.

Even with all that the Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, even with all that he said, he didn’t open that mystery to the public; because in order for that mystery to be opened to the public, the fulfillment of that Seventh Seal had to be revealed; and that would be revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ in this end time, by the Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, in which Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, would come manifested in human flesh in the Last Day; and that would be the Word, the Word incarnate in a man of the Last Day: In the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And that mystery can only be made known by Christ through the instrument through which He manifests Himself in human flesh in the Last Day. No one else will be able to understand that ministry and that mystery that through human flesh Christ in Holy Spirit would have in this end time.

But then, those who are of God, when they hear the Voice of Christ, the Voice of God, the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, they will understand that mystery; and thus they will understand the mystery of the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnated in a man of this end time.

But that man is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, when John wanted to worship him, he told him not to do so. Why? Because he is not the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is only the veil of flesh, the instrument, in which Christ in Holy Spirit manifests Himself in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, to make known to His Church all these things that must happen soon, and to fulfill all these promises that He has made to His Church for this end time.

That is why we will always find the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the business of the Lord Jesus Christ pertaining to this end time; and we will find him working in that business; in other words, working in the fulfillment and for the fulfillment of the promises that Christ has made for His Church for this end time, and in the promises that God has made for the Hebrew people.

We will always find the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ in those works, because Christ through His Angel Messenger will be fulfilling those promises. But the one who does the Work is Christ. The Angel of Jesus Christ is only the instrument of Jesus Christ, who will be adopted in this end time; and those who will be listening to the Voice of Christ through His Angel Messenger will also be adopted in this end time.

And therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, obtains the married name, the Bride: She obtains the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And for the Last Day the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is adopted, to reign, to rule with Christ, for the Millennium and for all eternity.

Now, we have seen this mystery pertaining to the adoption of all the children of God for the Last Day, under the ministry of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, through His Angel Messenger, whom He will adopt in this end time; and also all the elect of God of this end time, as well as the elect of God of past ages who have departed and those of our age who have departed.

Now we can see that this is a very important time in God’s Program.

When the number of God’s elect in the Mystical Body of Christ is completed, in the Age of the Cornerstone, then Christ will finish His work of Intercession in Heaven, take the Book of Redemption, open it, and reclaim all that He redeemed with His precious Blood; and He will resurrect the dead in Christ and transform us who are alive.

Now we can see all the things that will be happening in this end time.

At the time when the last of God’s elect enters, the work before the adoption —the work of the Angel of Jesus Christ— must come to an end, when the last one enters. His work comes to an end in the body of flesh; but then his work will continue in the eternal and glorified body; his work will continue. And also the work of all of God’s elect will come to an end being in bodies of flesh, but will continue from being in glorified, eternal, immortal, incorruptible bodies.

So we can see the blessing that there is for each one of you and for me also in this end time.

That is why it is so important to be listening to what? Not many voices. There are many voices on this planet Earth; and in the religious field there are many voices that claim to have the truth, that claim to be the bearers of the Word of God, the spokesmen of the Word of God, the spokesmen of God; but for the Last Day, Jesus Christ says in Revelation 22, verse 16:

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

That is the spokesman of Jesus Christ for the Last Day. That is the bearer of the Word of Jesus Christ to make known all these things that must happen soon, in this end time. He will come testifying of all these things, because he is the spokesman of Jesus Christ for this end time, for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, as every angel messenger of every age was the spokesman of Jesus Christ for every age.

Christ placed His Word in the mouth of each of those seven angel messengers; and for the Last Day He places His Word in the mouth of His Angel Messenger, to testify of all these things that must shortly be done.

And those who will be hearing the Voice of Christ through His messenger will remain faithful to the Voice of Christ, serving Christ and working in His Work in this Last Day.

And although the Earth might tremble and the mountains be thrown into the heart of the Earth or the sea, the elect will not fear, because the Lord (who is Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant) will be with us. And no matter what happens in this end time: come thunder, storms, come tidal waves, earthquakes or wars, they will say: “I will not fear, because the Lord is with me!”

Life here on Earth is temporary; and if our terrestrial body, our terrestrial house falls apart (dies), we have a building not made of hands,¹⁸ created by Christ, which is the theophanic body of the sixth dimension. If our physical body dies, then we go to live in Heaven: We have a place to go; and we will return to Earth when Christ resurrects the believers in Him of past ages and ours who have already departed; but if we remain alive until the dead in Christ are resurrected, we will be transformed.

Now, do you know something?: For the resurrection of Christ, the death and resurrection of Christ, there was a great earthquake; and when He resurrected, the saints of the Old Testament resurrected with Him?¹⁹

And just as it was back then, it will be at this end time. That is why we are not afraid of earthquakes, nor tidal waves, nor storms, nor wars, because we know that for this end time there will come a stage where the Earth will be in labor pains, to such an extent that earthquakes will occur…, they are occurring in different places; sometimes in an earthquake one person or no person dies, or 100, or 1,000, or 5,000, or 10,000, or even 20,000 people or or more people; but it is that the Earth is in labor pains; and with labor pains to give birth to a new Earth for the Millennial Kingdom.

And for the resurrection of the dead in Christ, do you know something?, there will be a great earthquake.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, on page 373 of the book of The Seals:²⁰

“^[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…”

When He comes forth from the Throne of Intercession; which will be when it is fulfilled and when every last one of God’s elect, who have their names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, enters.

“…and then it’s over (there too, you notice, we enter the end of the Seventh Seal); 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.

³⁹⁴ Take Your children under Your arm, Father, now. Draw Your little lambs to Your bosom. Grant it. And feed them on the Word, till they’re in strength for service.”

Now, when Christ leaves the Throne of Intercession in Heaven and makes His Claim, for the resurrection of the dead in Christ there will be a very great earthquake. Now, when will it be? Well, when Christ finishes calling and gathering all His elect, and finishes His work of Intercession in Heaven.

Now, notice that although it will be a time when that great earthquake will come, it will be a time of joy for the departed saints and for us who are alive, because when we see them we will be transformed.

But it will be a time of great confusion for the world, it will also be a time of great confusion for the foolish virgins, it will be a time of great confusion for all nations; and it will also be a very sad time for many nations, which (with that earthquake) will lose —some of them— part of their territory, and some nations may also disappear.

But for God’s elect there is no reason to be afraid, because that earthquake will be the earthquake for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and for us to be transformed at the Last Day.

Now, there may be other earthquakes in different places before that earthquake. And for any other earthquake apart from that one, we ask Christ to have mercy on Puerto Rico and its inhabitants, and to not allow Puerto Rico to be struck by an earthquake before that earthquake.

Now, we are not afraid, but we are aware that the earthquake which is prophesied will occur someday; but we don’t know the day, the month, the year; although we do know that it will be in the seventh millennium, which has already begun, and that it will be in the first 125 years of the seventh millennium.

And we ask God to watch over us always from all spiritual danger, first of all, and from all physical danger as well; because we always want to be working in the Work of Christ all the days of our life, without being afraid, without being afraid of the things that are to come upon the Earth.

Now, the world will be scared, will be afraid of the things to come, for so prophesied our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in Luke, chapter 21, verses 25 and onwards, where it says:

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

And when He speaks to us of these things, Saint Paul also speaks to us the same thing, about this that shall come to pass, in Hebrews, chapter 12, where he tells us, in verse 25 and on:

“See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

For our God is a consuming fire.”

That shaking that is coming for the Earth is the same thing that Reverend William Branham saw in one of the seven visions, and it is the one that corresponds to the seventh thing that he saw in that vision of those seven great events that would happen on this Earth. It says, on page 361 of the book of The Ages:²¹

“The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.”

And further down he says:

“What is left? Nothing except Hebrews 12:26, ‘Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.’ Once more God will shake the earth and with it shake everything loose that can be shaken. Then He will renovate it. Just last March, 1964, that Good Friday earthquake of Alaska shook the whole world though it did not unbalance it. But God was warning by a world tremor what He will soon do on a greater scale. He is going to blast and rock this sin-cursed world, my brother, my sister, and there is only one place that can stand that shock, and that is in the fold of the Lord Jesus.”

And by being in His Fold, in our relevant age: The Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ, we need have no fear.

Now, let’s keep our heart and our mind and our whole being in Christ, serving Him all the days of our life.

And, if at any time a tremor or earthquake occurs, don’t be afraid. If it is that of the resurrection, know that therein lies the transformation of your body. If it is that of the resurrection of the dead, then be waiting for those who are to be resurrected to visit you, so that you may be transformed; and if it is not that of the resurrection, then it is one of the labor pains before the great earthquake.

Now, let’s keep our souls always set on Christ, meditating on Him, our thoughts on Him; and our lives set apart from evil, from sin, from all things displeasing to God; and always keeping ourselves hearing His Voice, listening to His Voice, in our age and in our dispensation.

And so, though the earth trembles and the mountains be removed into the heart of the Earth, or the depths of the sea, I will fear no evil, for the Lord is with me. That is in the Scripture.²²

And remember, it is not only to read it and repeat it without taking the sense of what it means to us, but to have it made flesh in our souls, knowing that we are living in a time of labor pains, where in any territory of the planet Earth, a storm, a tidal wave or an earthquake, or a war may arise; because those are the things that would be happening for the Last Day, as labor pains, for the Earth to give birth to a new Earth for the glorious Millennial Kingdom.

There are comments that an earthquake may occur over these days, but in the entire world and in all nations that possibility is there every day; so every day, there is the possibility of an earthquake occurring in any country, in any nation.

And if Christ said that this is how the planet Earth would be, and mankind would be in fear of the things to come, the elect can’t be scared, they can’t be in fear, but calm, serving Christ and working in His Work all the days of their lives.

Look, when the great earthquake happens, it will be for the blessing of the sleeping saints and for our blessing, because we will be transformed. So we have no need to fear, but rather be more anchored each day to our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

As there are rumors that there may be an earthquake these days (for this coming week they said?), of that I say: “Neither yes or no”; or I would say: “Maybe yes or maybe not”; because every day Puerto Rico and all nations are exposed to an earthquake; and every day, or almost every day or every day, there are earth tremors in all countries; because the Earth is very nervous, it is trembling. Like the woman who is going to give birth, who in those days with labor pains in the final stage is very worried, and is very fearful and very trembling, and is in labor pains like this; as is the planet Earth.

And with fear and trembling, we serve Christ, with Divine Love, with Divine fear, with fear of God, listening to His Voice, His Word relevant to this end time, aware that all the prophecies corresponding to this end time have to be fulfilled.

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

Now, notice, how many of you want the dead in Christ to be resurrected and us who are alive to be transformed? All of us do. Well, that is why Reverend William Branham says there will be an earthquake.

So we can’t be afraid of earthquakes or tidal waves, but rather we have to take care of ourselves as much as we can. If we know that there is going to be a tidal wave, then we try not to be living in front of a beach, in front of the sea, because with an earthquake, if it happens when you are sleeping, there is no way to escape from it. You have to take care of yourself as much as you can take care of yourself.

But if he is not worried about the tidal wave taking him away, because he knows that he is going to Heaven and will come back in the new body, then he has no problem either if he lives in front of the sea; that is a matter of the person. But if he wants to avoid having that kind of problem for him and his family, and continue working in the Work of Christ, then he does what he knows he should do to avoid those kinds of problems.

Well, may God watch over us, may God help us; and may He always watch over the Lamb’s Island, the island in which God represented the Seven Seals of the book of Revelation in the coat of arms.

And, notice the Bible says that the coat of arms are (whose?) the Lord’s.²³ The coat of arms of the nations, notice, are of God, and reflected the things that God will do in those nations is reflected in those coat of arms.

And now look how in the Island of the Lamb, the Voice of the Seven Thunders makes known to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the Voice of the Seven Thunders makes known to us all these things pertaining to this end time.

And the Lamb, notice, is in the Book of the Seven Seals. And all this is representing the Work of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, that He will be carrying out in the island of Puerto Rico, for the benefit of all Latin America and the Caribbean, and other nations that receive the blessings that Christ gives us here, the Island of the Lamb, the Innocent Lamb’s Island, the Island of the Innocent.²⁴

May God be with you all, and may God look upon the island of Puerto Rico and its inhabitants; and just as He said that if He found 50 righteous in Sodom, He wouldn’t destroy Sodom, or if He found 45, 40, 30, 20 or 10, He wouldn’t destroy Sodom,²⁵ may He look upon the island of Puerto Rico and see that here there are more than 10 righteous, justified, because they have been washed with the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and may He watch over us from all danger. Even though they announce dangers over the island of Puerto Rico, may he help us and deliver us from all danger, may he watch over us from evil.

But when the time of the resurrection comes, well, that earthquake can’t be avoided, because with that earthquake the dead in Christ are resurrected. So we leave in the hands of Christ all these things, but we ask for mercy for the island of Puerto Rico and its inhabitants.

We love our island and all its inhabitants with all our hearts, and we want God to extend His hand of mercy for all Puerto Rico and its inhabitants.

We have already seen that the Bible tells us about all these things that are going to happen, but in terms of time (that is, the day, hour, week, month and year) it is not established; therefore, we leave that alone. And what we do is: we take care of ourselves in all that we can, and we ask Him to help us (we ask Christ to help us) and watch over us from all danger; without being afraid of the things that can happen, knowing that we have secured our eternal life for all eternity: by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit, and thus receiving the new birth, and thus receiving the theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and then, for the Last Day, we will receive the glorified, eternal and immortal body. So we have an insurance of eternal life.

So there is no problem: If our physical body dies, there is no problem; and if we continue to live always here in this body until we are transformed, there is no problem either. He will help us in our earthly life at all times.

Well, we don’t attack any person because of what he says or does… Many people, well, they want to help others; and when they think or have some dream or some vision, and they notice a danger for some place, well, they try to help other people. Sometimes they do it well; and sometimes they don’t know how to do it well, but the intention is good (almost always), even if the way to do it is not the best way. And sometimes they also put themselves in the ministerial position that is not theirs and then they have problems; and if what they have said is not fulfilled, then they have a bigger problem; and then they are already a problem for their group and they are a problem wherever they are.

So all things, then, must be done correctly, according to God’s Program, in order to be a blessing.

May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me as well.

May God continue to bless you all, may God keep you and help you at all times, in all the days of your life.

I leave with us again our friend and brother Felix Caro to continue.

And thank you very much for the collaboration for what is going to be paid to the start of the mortgage of the new property. We all do it wholeheartedly; and we want to do more every day for Christ, who loves us and gave Himself for all of us.

Well, God bless you and keep you; and with us again our friend and brother Felix Caro.

“THE BLESSING OF OBEYING THE ANGEL OF GOD.”
