Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
To all of you present and those via internet and television as well: May the blessings of Jesus Christ be upon all of you, and may you have a Merry Christmas, full of the blessings of Jesus Christ.
And now, we read in chapter 2 of John, verses 18 to 19, where it tells us:
“Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.”
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD.”
Christ before the temple said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”; and they thought He was speaking of the physical temple, but He was speaking of His physical body, which is the Temple of God where God was manifested in all His fullness.
Just as we find in the Old Testament, in the tabernacle built by Moses and the one built by Solomon, that the glory of God, the Shekinah, the Pillar of Fire, entered the temple and rested in the temple, and dwelt in the most holy place over the ark of the covenant, over the mercy seat, as God tells us in Exodus, chapter 25, verse 21 to 22, where God tells Moses:
“And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”
Where would God be? He would be upon the mercy seat, and from there He would speak to the prophet Moses all the things that God desired to say to the Hebrew people. He would tell them to the Hebrew people through the prophet Moses; and God would tell them to the prophet Moses from the most holy place, from between the two golden cherubim. In Leviticus, chapter 16, verse 1 to 2, it says:
“And the Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord, and died;
And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.”
God in that cloud of light, in the pillar of fire, in which He had appeared to the prophet Moses, and which had also delivered the Hebrew people (and lighted the way of the Hebrew people during the night, and by day it was a cloud of shadow, a cloud that covered them from the sun),1 now, you see, that Pillar of Fire was manifested upon the mercy seat, and from there He spoke to the prophet Moses.
And why was it like that in the tabernacle built by Moses? Because in the trajectory of the Temple of God we find how the Temple of God has been reflected there in the Old Testament: it was reflected in the human being, and it was also reflected in the tabernacle that the prophet Moses built, and it was also reflected in the Hebrew people as a nation.
And now, the Temple of God which is in Heaven has been reflected from stage to stage. It was reflected in the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built; for in the temple that Solomon built we find the same order, although the scale in which Solomon’s temple is built, we find that it is a larger size (the temple), but it contains the same things, and also contains the two cherubim of olive wood covered with gold, giant cherubim that were in the most holy place, one on the right and the other on the left, and in the center was the ark of the covenant, where the presence of God was.
And now, see how all this is the Temple of God that is in Heaven, reflecting on Earth; because a time would come when what is in Heaven would materialize in human beings, and thus a Temple would be built where God will dwell for all eternity.
And now, in THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD we have seen that the first thing was the human being: Adam as a temple of God, and therefore, the human race; then we find the tabernacle built by Moses and also the Hebrew people as a nation.
And now let’s see the Holy Place as to the human race, and as to the Hebrew people, and as to the temple that Solomon built and the tabernacle that Moses built.
The sacrifices were in the outer court and the bronze laver and all these things; it was the place where the sacrifice was offered, where it was performed, where the little animal was sacrificed. And we find that the outer court of the tabernacle that Moses built represents (in terms of the human race) from Adam until Jesus; and in terms of the Hebrew people as a nation we find that it represents the Hebrew people since Adam as well, until they entered the promised land.
And already being in the promised land, you see, we find that there (the Hebrew people being already established) is the Outer Court, which is the whole territory of Israel; there is the Holy Place, which is Jerusalem; and there is the temple in Jerusalem, which is the Most Holy Place.
And notice, those same parts, three parts: Outer Court, Holy Place and Most Holy Place, are also contained in the temple built in Jerusalem by King Solomon.
Then we find, as to the human race, that from Adam to Jesus was the Outer Court of the Temple of God as the human race; and from Christ to the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church corresponds to the Holy Place of the Temple of God, where the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church were fulfilled.
Now, notice that Christ died in the Outer Court; that is, He died before the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church. But then we find that Christ enters the Holy Place, and then passes into the Most Holy Place at the Last Day.
And Christ has been, from stage to stage, in Holy Spirit in that spiritual Temple, which is His Church: He has been in the Holy Place, from age to age, in Holy Spirit, manifested through the angel messenger of each age, just as He also manifested Himself in the time of the apostles, from the Day of Pentecost onwards.
We have seen that it all began there in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, as to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ; and see how Christ has been passing from age to age, and has had seven angel messengers for the seven ages of the gentile Church.
The first age began in Asia Minor, and was represented in the Ephesian church; church that was in Asia Minor. For those seven churches of which the book of Revelation speaks (in chapter 1 and also chapter 2, and chapter 3 of Revelation), existed in Asia Minor, and had all things represented there, all things that would be fulfilled during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.
Therefore, those churches of Asia Minor, those seven churches that were chosen there in the book of Revelation, are type and figure of the seven stages through which the Church of Jesus Christ would pass during the stage of the Holy Place of His spiritual Temple. And that is why everything that would be manifested is reflected in each age – or everything that would be manifested in each age of the gentile Church is reflected in each church of Asia Minor.
And you see, since each one of those churches was placed in different cities, each one in a different city, that shows us that the seven ages of the gentile Church would be fulfilled in different territories of the planet Earth.
Asia Minor was the first territory; then, the second territory was France; and then Hungary and part of France also; then Ireland and Scotland… In other words, the first age was in Asia Minor, the second in France, the third in Hungary and France, the fourth in Ireland and Scotland, the fifth in Germany, the sixth in England and the seventh in North America.
See how those stages of the Church have been fulfilled; and they have all been fulfilled already.
For each stage God sent an angel messenger; and the seven angel messengers of the seven ages were: Saint Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley and the Reverend William Branham. Those were the guardian angels of the seven ages of the gentile Church, where the Spirit of Christ was manifested, carrying out the Work pertaining to each age. And see how the Work of God was carried out in each age, thus fulfilling the stage of the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ.
Now, we no longer have the tabernacle that Moses built, nor the temple that King Solomon built; and now what we have is a New Temple, which was represented, reflected, in those previous temples; and that New Temple is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which has been being created by God from stage to stage.
Christ is the beginning of God’s Creation,2 that is, He is the first of this New Creation, which is the Church of Jesus Christ. He is the second Adam: therefore, He is the first one of that new race that begins with Jesus Christ the second Adam.
And just as in Adam all die, in Jesus Christ all are made alive,3 are brought to eternal life through the new birth, by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit; and thus receiving a new spirit within us, for Christ said to Nicodemus that it was necessary to be born again.4
When a person is born on this Earth through his earthly parents, he is born as a descendant of the first Adam, of Adam. And because the first Adam sinned: he fell from eternal life, and death entered the human race through a man.
Therefore, in Adam all die; and that is why when we are born on this Earth we obtain a mortal, corruptible and temporary body: it is born, lives and then dies. And we also obtain, within that body, a spirit of the world; therefore, it is not of the sixth dimension, but it is of the fifth dimension.
And that is why the person who is not born again doesn’t have the right to go to the sixth dimension, because he doesn’t have a spirit of the sixth dimension, and therefore, he has to go to the dimension from which is the spirit that he possesses.
And the person… the person is required to be born again; that is a new birth by divine creation, where the person obtains a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, and is already born in the sixth dimension, and is in heavenly places with Christ Jesus our Lord.
And so He places the believers in Him in the sixth dimension, in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, as He placed Adam in the sixth dimension in the beginning, and as Jesus Himself before coming to Earth was in the sixth dimension; because the theophanic body of Jesus (which is called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant), you see, was in the sixth dimension.
He is the one who appeared to Adam, to Abel, to Seth, to Enoch, to Noah, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to Moses and to all the prophets of the Old Testament; and He was called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant. That is why Jesus said in John, chapter 8, verses 56 and on:
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”
And how was it possible that Jesus was before Abraham? Because Jesus is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who was in His theophanic body and through whom He revealed Himself to Abraham and to the prophets of the Old Testament, who on different occasions saw Him in the form of a man but from another dimension.
He is also called, in John, chapter 1, verse 1 to 18, the Word:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
Now, notice who our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is: He is the Word who was with God and was God, and created all things.
And then it says [verse 14]: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” The Word made flesh. The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, became man and dwelt among human beings.
“And the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” It was God Himself in His theophanic body; and then, when He became flesh, it was God Himself in a body of human flesh manifested in all His fullness, it was the manifestation of the Divinity in all His fullness.
That is why the prophet Isaiah, in chapter 7, verse 14, says that the Lord Himself will give you a sign:
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (which translated is: God with us).”5
God with us manifested in the form of a man, of a prophet, to carry out the Work of Redemption by coming as the Lamb of God, to place His own body as a sacrifice for sin. No one else could carry out that Work, because all other persons, descending through that line of the fallen race, were all contaminated by sin; and therefore, all were mortal.
The Work of Redemption had to be carried out by one who appeared on Earth without sin, and therefore would be immortal; and to become mortal He had to take the sin of human beings, because the wages of sin is death.6 And in order for Christ, the Lamb of God, to die, for His physical body to die, He had to take our sins, because He Himself was sinless, therefore, He couldn’t die.
And now, Christ, you see, had to take the sin of the human being, because He had no sin and therefore couldn’t die, and therefore couldn’t do the Work of Redemption if He didn’t die.
Look at why all these things happened in the life of Jesus; and the only one who understood them was Jesus, the rest of the human beings understood nothing of His First Coming and the Work for which He came.
And now, He came in a simple way, being born in Bethlehem of Judea, and —of course— being born not on the date that is currently thought of; for if He was born in the… if the coming of the Archangel Gabriel was in the sixth month of the religious calendar of the Hebrew people, the nine months were completed for the third month of the Hebrew religious calendar; so we can see what all that means. In other words, the birth of Jesus, according to the Hebrew religious calendar, since the visit of the Archangel Gabriel was in the sixth month, the birth of Jesus could have been from May to June.
Now, we can see if it was according to the Hebrew religious calendar.
Now, the most important thing is the Work that He carried out, that is what we need to understand in order to obtain our forgiveness of sins by receiving Him as our Savior.
And now, what has Jesus Christ been doing after He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven? He has been creating a new race. That is why when we speak of the believer in Jesus Christ (who has received Him as his Savior and has washed away his sins in the Blood of Christ and has received His Holy Spirit), we are speaking of a New Creation. And when one speaks of a New Creation, one is speaking of a new race that Christ is creating; and they are the descendants of the second Adam, which are represented in the temple built by King Solomon and in the tabernacle built by the prophet Moses, and they are also represented in the Hebrew people. That is why the Scripture speaks to us, Saint Paul speaks to us, and also Saint Peter, that we are God’s temple.
And see how this Temple, this New Temple, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, was reflected in the past:
As a Temple: reflected in the temple of Solomon and the temple or tabernacle of Moses (or built by Moses); and reflected in the Hebrew people, who are also (as a people) the Temple of God of the Old Testament as a people.
Now, we have that the earthly Israel there represents the heavenly Israel; and the heavenly Israel is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the ones redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And look, the Hebrew people two thousand years ago received the Stone not cut with hands, which was the First Coming of Christ; and that was the crowning Stone, the Stone that the builders rejected in His First Coming; but He has become the head of the corner, the Scripture tells us, Saint Paul tells us and Saint Peter also tells us.
But now, look at what Saint Peter tells us speaking about Christ as a living Stone; it says, First Peter, chapter 2, verse 4 and on, says:
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”
And why offer sacrifices to God, spiritual sacrifices, through Jesus Christ? Because Jesus Christ is the High Priest of the Temple of God in Heaven.
“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light…”
Now, here we can see that God’s elect are not only a temple. It says:
“…are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood…”
Spiritual House, that is, Temple of God, as Saint Paul tells us in Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 19 to 22, where it says:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Here we see that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the House of God, which was reflected in the tabernacle built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon; and the Church of Jesus Christ is also reflected in the Hebrew people, the earthly Israel, because the Church of Jesus Christ is the heavenly Israel; therefore, we are “fellow citizens with the saints and members of the Family of God.”
Through the second Adam, through Jesus Christ, we have been born into the heavenly Family, the Family of God, as sons and daughters of God. And also, since we are the heavenly Israel, we are also a people of priests; just as the Hebrew people were a people of priests, as God says in Exodus, chapter 19, verse 5 to 6, where it says:
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.”
And now, Saint Peter told us that we are a chosen race… Chapter 2, verse 9, of the first letter of Peter, says:
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light…”
And in Revelation, chapter 1, verses 5 to 6, it says:
“….And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
He has made us what? Kings and priests. And now, we also find in chapter 5 of Revelation, the multitude redeemed by the Blood of Christ, which, as Christ takes the Book of Redemption in Heaven, have a new song. Chapter 5, verse 8 and on, says:
“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Who are the kings and priests? Those redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ; and they are the ones who in the glorious Millennial Kingdom will be with Christ here on Earth as kings and priests. And Christ is the High Priest, and He is also the King of kings and Lord of lords, and He is the Son of David for the glorious Millennial Kingdom.
That is why in Revelation, chapter 20, where He presents there the glorious Millennial Kingdom, chapter 20, verse 4 to 6, it says:
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
Who will be the priests for that Millennial Kingdom, and the kings for that Millennial Kingdom? They will be those redeemed by the Blood of Christ, who have been made kings and priests for our God.
And now, we can see here the new order for the New Temple of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, and for the glorious Millennial Kingdom; where the redeemed by the Blood of Christ, which in the Last Day will be resurrected in eternal bodies those who departed, and we who are alive will be transformed, we will be with Christ as kings and priests in that glorious Millennial Kingdom. And thus the New Temple will be standing on Earth, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the glorious Millennial Kingdom; and there will be the priests of that New Temple, which are the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, we can see what all this means in the Program of God. Everything that was shown in the temple built by Solomon and the tabernacle built by Moses is materialized in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in other words, it is materialized in Jesus Christ and His Church.
If a temple were built to the Hebrew people, a literal temple, at this time, what do you think they would do? Well, they would again offer the sacrifices for sin; and God doesn’t accept any other sacrifice for sin but the Sacrifice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, which is in the New Temple. That is the Sacrifice that the New Temple has, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is the Sacrifice that we have, which has worked our redemption in us, has worked the cleansing of our sins in us and our reconciliation with God. And God has all that where? Within the New Temple, within His Church.
And Christ is in Heaven, on the Throne of God, in the Most Holy Place, on the Mercy Seat, making intercession for every person who has his name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And the Temple of God —which is in Heaven— is reflected and is materializing in the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, which is His Church.
Now see “THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD.”
In the Divine Program is that everything that is in the Temple of God in Heaven be materialized here on Earth, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the New Temple, which is a Temple for all eternity.
That is why in the book of Revelation, in chapter 22, there is no literal temple there, because everything has already been materialized, and Christ and His Church there are the Temple of God.
The Tabernacle of God that descends from Heaven is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will be on Earth in eternity, after the Millennial Kingdom, on a high mountain that will be located where the territory of Israel is; which by that time will be enlarged so that there may be that New Jerusalem; which, the physical part of the land, comes from the heart of the Earth, and the inhabitants come from Heaven; and there will be all those who have had part in that spiritual Temple of God.
Now, we can see “THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD.”
And now, in the trajectory of the Temple of God, which is materializing in human flesh in human beings, in the members of the Church of Jesus Christ, in which stage of that Temple are we?
The seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, which have passed during these last two thousand years that have passed from Christ until now, those two thousand years correspond (to what?) to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, where the candlestick or candelabrum with its seven lighted lamps was fulfilled, became a reality in the Church of Jesus Christ, when the seven ages of the gentile Church were fulfilled with the angel messenger of each age.
That is the candlestick with its seven lighted lamps: It is the Church of Jesus Christ during the seven ages, with its seven angel messengers lit with the fire of the Holy Spirit. And that candlestick was where? In the holy place of the temple.
And now, for the Most Holy Place, which corresponds to the Age of the Cornerstone, what was there has to become a reality, it has to materialize in the Church of Jesus Christ; because what was there, in the tabernacle built by Moses and the temple made by Solomon, what was there in the most holy place: The ark of the covenant and the two cherubim of olive wood, in the tabernacle built by Moses, all that is what is in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place.
There is the Throne of God, where God is; and there are the cherubim, which are the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, one on each side. And all that has to materialize in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
And that is why for the Last Day, what was shown on Mount Transfiguration (Jesus with His face like the sun, and on each side of Jesus: on one side Moses and on the other side Elijah),7 that is what Christ will be materializing in the Most Holy Place Age of His spiritual Temple.
At the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the ministries of Moses and Elijah will be where? In the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, at the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. That is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in the Last Day, manifesting the ministries of Elijah, Moses and Jesus.
The central ministry is the ministry of Jesus, and on either side the ministries of Moses and Elijah, but it is the same Holy Spirit, the same Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit coming manifested at the Last Day and operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus at the center.
Now notice, that is the same thing there is in Heaven, that is what is seen in Heaven: God in the center, Gabriel and Michael on each side; and that is represented on Earth in the ministries that the Holy Spirit will be operating in the Last Day, in the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ, of the Holy Spirit manifested in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple. It will be the update of what is in Heaven on Earth.
Gabriel and Michael: Moses and Elijah; and God on the Throne. That is the ministry of Jesus on Earth being repeated, that is the Angel of the Covenant being manifested on Earth in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, and with a Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering God’s elect. Who? The Angels of the Son of Man are the ones doing the calling, and also the Son of Man, the Lord Himself with a Shout, Voice of the Archangel and Trumpet of God.
Now notice, in that passage of Saint Paul, First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13 to 17, it is Christ who comes with an Acclamation, Voice of the Archangel and Trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will resurrect first and we who are alive will be changed. That is the Trumpet of God or Last Trumpet, that is the Voice of God, the Voice of Christ, speaking for the last time in the midst of His Church; and that is in the Age of the Cornerstone.
From where did God speak to the prophet Moses when the tabernacle was already built? From the most holy place, from above the mercy seat, from between the two golden cherubim.
From where will the Message come to the Hebrew people on the Last Day? From the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, from the midst of the two golden cherubim, from the midst of the ministries of Moses and Elijah. That is where the Message for the Hebrew people comes from, which will be the same Message that the Church of Jesus Christ will be hearing in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ; and that is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message that contains the divine revelation and the Divine Program of the Second Coming of Christ.
That is where the Dispensation of the Kingdom opens, and that is where Christ sends the Angel Messenger, the prophet messenger, of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and He sends him to His Church to a new age: The Age of the Cornerstone, which is an eternal age, it is a heavenly age.
That is why the Voice of Christ from here is the Voice of Heaven, and what He speaks from here is the Voice of God, the Voice of Heaven, for the Church of Jesus Christ; therefore, it is the Voice of the Seven Thunders speaking from Heaven, it is that Great Voice of Trumpet speaking from Heaven in the Last Day, speaking from Heaven here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is a heavenly age.
And therefore, God’s elect are called to a heavenly age to hear the Voice of Christ in this Last Day, making known to us all these things that must happen soon.
All this takes place where? In the Temple of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as in the Temple of God we find that the call of the Good Shepherd occurred, from age to age, through each angel messenger.
And this is how Christ has been building or creating His Church, which is a new race of beings created by God, through the new birth; which is a New Creation that takes place in the individual; which begins by obtaining by divine creation a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and for the Last Day we will receive a physical and eternal body by divine creation, a glorified body equal to the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, we have seen in the trajectory of the Temple of God what the Temple of God is, which is the Church of Jesus Christ; and that is why there is no longer a temple there in Israel, in Jerusalem, the temple or tabernacle no longer exists, nor the temple of Moses is no longer there; but God has a New Temple which is being built, created by God, from stage to stage, for God to dwell in it in all His fullness; which will be in this Last Day, in which He will dwell in His Church in all His fullness, and in each one of us as individuals, when we are all transformed, those of us who live, and those who have departed will be resurrected in eternal bodies.
Now, we have seen this mystery of THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD, and we have seen that we are in the Cornerstone stage, which is the stage of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, where the ministries of the Archangels Gabriel and Michael have to be updated in the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
And the territory where the Age of the Cornerstone has to be fulfilled is Latin America and the Caribbean. That is the big news for Latin America and the Caribbean. And therefore the blessing of Christ is (where?) in Latin America and the Caribbean, in this stage of the creation of the most important part of His Temple: The creation of the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple with human beings.
Notice how in the trajectory of the Temple of God, in the Church of Jesus Christ God materializes, makes flesh, the Temple of God: It is a living Temple.
That is why also, notice, Christ speaking of His body, when He said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” He was speaking of what? Of the physical body, which is the Temple of God, where God dwelt in all His fullness. And the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is represented in that Temple, and each one of you is represented and so am I; that is why we are temples of the Holy Spirit, temples of God. God will dwell in each one of us in all His fullness, as He dwelt in Jesus Christ our Savior.
We are still in the stage of the first fruits, but when the dead in Christ are resurrected and those of us who are alive are transformed, God will be in all His fullness manifested in each one of you and in me also; and all this is according to the trajectory of the Temple of God.
Look, in the trajectory of the Temple of God, where the final stage of the Temple of God, of the Temple of Jesus Christ, the Age of the Cornerstone has been reached: it has reached Latin America and the Caribbean.
Where was the most holy place of the Temple that Moses built and the Temple that Solomon built? It was in the west. And now where is Christ in the Last Day? He began His work of building His spiritual Temple, He began it in the East, and He would finish it in the West. The Most Holy Place corresponds to the West, and in the spiritual Temple of Christ it corresponds to Latin America and the Caribbean, the most important part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are living in the greatest and most glorious time of all times, we are living in the time where great prophetic events corresponding to the Last Day, to the end time, are being fulfilled in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is why we have to have our eyes wide open, to be able to understand these mysteries.
Look what a great promise was said here; but let’s see the simple way in which this promise would be fulfilled. Page 33 of the book of Quotations, verse 282, says Reverend William Branham:8
“And standing there was a Angel, the mighty Gabriel. He’s a messengers to the Jews. Remember, Gabriel announced the first coming of Christ; the Angel Gabriel will announce the second coming of Christ.”
And the Second Coming of Christ is the Seventh Seal, and the Seventh Seal is revealed through the Seven Thunders of Revelation, chapter 10; and the one that opens the Seven Thunders is the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10.
In other words, it is the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, Christ, the Messenger to Israel, the Angel of the Covenant, which announces, reveals, the Seventh Seal, reveals the Second Coming of Christ; and to do so He has to manifest Himself through human flesh and give us that revelation. And since He comes with His Angels…: He comes with His Angels, which in terms of ministry are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, and in terms of His literal Angels are Gabriel and Michael.
Remember that Daniel, chapter 12 and Revelation, chapter 12 also tells us that in that day Michael will arise at that time.
And now, notice how all this, for the materialization or update, in the Last Day takes place where? In the Temple of God, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And the materialization or update on Earth in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ is under the manifestation of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in the Last Day, through His Angel Messenger operating the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah; and therefore, that mystery, which is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant with His Angels, the ministry of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, coming in the Last Day manifested and operating these ministries… because He is the only one who has ministries. He not only has the ministry of Jesus, of Moses and Elijah, but all the other ministries; because in the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, are all the ministries.
And now, that manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, since He will be working as He worked through Elijah, for it is prophesied that Elijah will come in His fifth manifestation. And since He will be working as He worked through the prophet Moses, it is promised that Moses will be again on Earth; that is the ministry of Moses operating again. And since He will be working as He worked through Jesus, then it is promised that the ministry of Jesus will be again on Earth.
And those three great ministries that have been in the midst of the people of God, of the earthly Israel and of the heavenly Israel also, we find that for this Last Day the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, through the manifestation of these ministries will be making known to us all the things that we need to know.
It is the Voice of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, speaking to us with the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet or Seven Thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, and making known to us all these things that must come to pass in this end time. And He performs all that, He makes it known where? In His spiritual Temple, which is His Church.
And now, notice how Gabriel announces the Second Coming of Christ, did you see how simple everything is?
And now, notice how Moses and Elijah would also be in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, and they would be with a Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering the elect; and notice how Christ with a Great Voice of Trumpet, with that Trumpet of God, would also be in the midst of His Church speaking to us; so that all the elect of God may be called and gathered together by the Voice of Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd, to be called and gathered together in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, as they were called and gathered together in past ages, in every age, through the messenger of every age.
Wherever Jesus Christ has been in each age, He has been veiled in human flesh in the messenger of each age, in the portion relevant to each age. And so it is for this end time: He will be veiled in human flesh in His Angel Messenger in the Last Day, and revealed through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon.
And since it corresponds, the manifestation of Christ in this end time, to the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone —stage where Christ, who is the High Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven—, notice, no one else can enter the most holy place, but the high priest there in the tabernacle of Moses or tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built.
Now, notice that to minister in the most holy place there is only one person. The high priest also ministers in the holy place, but other priests could minister; but in the most holy place only one: the high priest, and Moses also when he was on Earth.
Moses ministered in the most holy place of the tabernacle that he built; and he, in the Last Day, in the Tabernacle or Temple of Jesus Christ, ministers also in the Most Holy Place; and there also Elijah will minister in his fifth manifestation and the ministry of Jesus in the Last Day.
And how can Moses and Elijah enter the Most Holy Place? Because Christ enters, the Angel of the Covenant, who is the only one who can enter the Most Holy Place to minister; but because the ministries of Moses and Elijah come with Him, then they will also be there: one on each side. And from there comes the revelation of Christ for the Last Day through His Angel Messenger.
The revelation of Jesus Christ for the Last Day, we have seen how it comes: just as the revelation of Jesus Christ came in each age through the messenger of each age.
Now we are living in the greatest and most glorious time of all times: The time where in the trajectory of the Temple of God the most important and most glorious part of the Temple of God has been allotted to us: The part of the Most Holy Place being materialized in Latin American and Caribbean human beings.
“THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD.”
We can see and we can say as the psalmist says: “The lines have fallen in pleasant places for us, and great is the heritage that has been allotted to us.”9 That is our age in the Temple of God, which will be reflected in the position we will have in the glorious Millennial Kingdom and also in eternity, and in the position we will have in the New Jerusalem.
This is the part that all those who knew something of this mystery (even if only prophetically) desired to have. Saint John and his brother James desired that part, but it was not granted to them; but we have been allotted the better part.
Now, where is God sitting in Heaven? On His Throne. And now, Christ says… Now, where in the Church of Jesus Christ, in what part of the Church of Jesus Christ, in what stage, in what age, is the Throne of Jesus Christ placed? In the stage or Age of the Most Holy Place. Just as the Most Holy Place of the Temple of God, that is where the Throne of God is and where God is dwelling.
And it is in the Most Holy Place or Age of the Cornerstone where Christ will be seated on His Throne, where the Throne of the Temple that is in Heaven will materialize, it will materialize in the Temple of Jesus Christ, which is His Church. And Christ will be there (in that place that will be materialized) in human flesh, Christ will be manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
And just as Christ was the human Throne of God where God was manifested in all His fullness, Christ will be manifested in His Angel Messenger in the Last Day; and He will be in a working progressive way, until the end of the Work that He has entrusted to him; and then He will adopt him. And Christ will manifest Himself, after He adopts him, He will manifest Himself in all His fullness through His Angel.
And therefore, He will be manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone in all His fullness, after the adoption of the Angel of Jesus Christ; wherein the adoption of all the elect of God will also come, of all of us who are alive, who will be transformed and thus adopted; and God will dwell in all His fullness in each one of you and in me also. And the dead in Christ will be adopted, for they will be resurrected in eternal bodies, and God will be manifest in them also. And we will all be equal to our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, Christ says, look, something very important; let’s see, who sat on the Throne of God in Heaven? Christ knew that He would sit on the Throne of God in Heaven; and that is to sit at the right hand of God in Heaven. And the one who sat at the right hand of God in Heaven, in other words, the one who sat on the Throne of God in Heaven, was the person who was the Throne of God here on Earth, in other words, Jesus.
Jesus speaking in Matthew, chapter 26, verse 63 to 64 onwards, says:
“But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
Who would be the one to sit at the right hand of God? The one who here on Earth was the Throne of God; where God was dwelling, He was enthroned in all His fullness. And now, Christ in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 21, says:
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
That is a great blessing that Saint John and James wanted for them, but that will be given to the Overcomer, which for the Last Day will be the Throne of Jesus Christ, where He will be manifested in the midst of His Church on the Last Day, for the blessing of the gentile Church and for the blessing of the Hebrew people.
So we can see what that means for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and also for the Hebrew people. And that is the Seventh Seal for the gentile Church, and that is the Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people; that is the Coming of the Lord manifested in the Last Day in the midst of His Church.
But His Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only a member of the Church of Jesus Christ redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ; but in him Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, operating the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah, to fulfill His Program in the Temple of God, in the Temple of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And there we will have —in the Church of Jesus Christ— all the things that are in the Temple of God which is in Heaven, which were reflected in the tabernacle of Moses and the temple of Solomon, and that in the Last Day would be materialized or being materialized, as well as in past ages, being materialized in the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
It has been a great blessing and privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, giving testimony of “THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD.”
In the afternoon, at 3:00 p.m., we will be again for the topic: “A CONCEPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT”; that is, the conception of Jesus in Mary’s womb. And there we are going to see with a little more detail, some other things related to the birth of Jesus, and how the prophecies relevant to the First Coming of Christ were fulfilled, and how the things that will be happening in the Second Coming of Christ are also reflected there.
Pray much for me so that He may give me all that I should give you this afternoon. There we will be seeing many things, God willing, seeing many things and how they were reflected in past times.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me also; and may soon the number of God’s elect be completed, and may we all soon be transformed and the dead in Christ be resurrected in eternal bodies, and be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
We are going to see in the afternoon what God will give us; and if He opens the Scripture on the things of our time, if He opens many Scriptures, we will see how we are living in a time parallel to the First Coming of Christ; because the Coming of the Lord has two parts: The First and Second; first as Lamb and then as Lion.
Well, may God bless you and keep you all. And to those who have already arrived from other countries: Welcome. May God bless you all.
