Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present here in Bogota, Colombia. It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments around the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FIFTH HORSE OF REVELATION,” which is found in chapter 19, verses 11 to 21, of the Book of Revelation.
Let’s read this passage so that we have a clear picture of what we will be speaking about. It says the following in Revelation chapter 19, verse 11 and on, it says:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
In the Book of Revelation, in this passage, we have seen the fifth horse of Revelation. We find the four previous horses of Revelation in chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation, from verse 1 to 8; and I want to read them (these passages). Revelation chapter 6, verse 1 to 8, says:
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
Here we have seen the four horses of Revelation that appear in chapter 6; and then, in Revelation chapter 19, we saw the fifth horse.
Now, these four previous horses that appear and the rider who rides them is the antichrist, who comes on a horse.
And now, when we say that he comes on a horse, anyone may think of a literal horse; but a beast, a horse (which is a beast), represents a power. And the antichrist here, in these four stages that he goes through, comes riding on power or powers: religious, political, and demon powers.
That is the horse the antichrist rides, with dogmas, creeds, and traditions. And with that power, the devil enslaves mankind; the devil has been enslaving mankind for thousands of years.
Three stages of these four horses of Revelation have already been fulfilled, and the fulfillment of the fourth stage, of the fourth horse of Revelation is left, in which the antichrist will be manifested at the end time; where the devil will be incarnated in all his fullness in the antichrist, in the man of sin, and will make everyone submit to him and his rule; for the Gentile kingdom at this end time would be in the feet of iron and clay, as King Nebuchadnezzar saw it and as the Prophet Daniel interpreted to him.
In Daniel chapter 2, it says, from verse 30 and on… let’s see… Let’s see here: verse 31 and on, to start this part here. Chapter 2, verse 31 and on, says:
“Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
Here we can see that the Prophet Daniel shows King Nebuchadnezzar the dream he had; and in this dream, notice, God was showing King Nebuchadnezzar the Gentile kingdom.
This Gentile kingdom began with King Nebuchadnezzar. And King Nebuchadnezzar, as the head of that kingdom there, notice, he was—this king was the first of the Gentile kingdom.
And notice how the Prophet Daniel explains the dream to Nebuchadnezzar. Because, notice, here are the different stages which the Gentile kingdom would go through until it comes to an end. The Prophet Daniel tells him [verse 37]:
“Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.”
In other words, the Babylonian empire was the head of gold, whose king was King Nebuchadnezzar. And since a kingdom is represented in its king, Nebuchadnezzar was that head of gold with his kingdom.
Notice that the Gentile kingdom begins in a stage of gold.
“And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee…”
That other kingdom was the second empire: the Medo-Persian empire, or the empire of Media and Persia, represented in the breast and arms of silver. In other words, being represented in the breast and arms of silver, it shows us that it is inferior; that stage of the Gentile kingdom is inferior to the stage of King Nebuchadnezzar, to the stage of the Babylonian empire.
Notice how the Gentile kingdom has been going down: it goes down from the head of gold to the breast and arms of silver; and as it goes down, it loses quality, importance, value.
From gold to silver, how much does a kilo of… or two pounds of silver cost? Perhaps anyone can buy it. But what is the cost of two pounds of gold (or one kilo, which is two pounds and a quarter)? Now that is harder for a person to buy, because it is worth a lot.
And likewise, notice how the Gentile kingdom is losing its value; it is losing its value and, therefore, its importance.
After the head of gold, which was the stage of the Babylonian empire by King Nebuchadnezzar, comes the second stage, represented in the breast and arms of silver, which was the stage of the Medo-Persian empire (the second stage); and the third stage is represented in what?
“…and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.”
That was the stage of the empire of Greece, where Alexander the Great was its supreme leader.
And notice, what is worth more: a pound or a… two pounds and a quarter or one kilo (equivalent to one kilo) of brass, or one kilo of silver? See? The Gentile kingdom is losing value.
Then comes the fourth stage of the Gentile kingdom, represented in the legs of iron, and the feet of iron and clay.
The fourth stage of the Gentile kingdom has two very important parts, which we can’t overlook. It says:
“And the fourth kingdom,” (in other words, empire, the fourth empire or fourth stage of the Gentile kingdom), “shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men,” (meaning, human or political agreements), “but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”
The fourth stage of the Gentile kingdom has two parts:
• The part of the legs of iron: that was the Roman empire of the Caesars, which was an empire that brought a lot of death upon the human race, and destroyed many important things; although it also brought certain advancements, such as highways, and countless other things. But notice, we are speaking about the Gentile kingdom in the fourth stage, represented in the legs of iron.
And that stage, notice, a kilo of iron compared to a kilo of brass or a kilo of silver or a kilo of gold, you can note that, compared to brass, well, iron is worth very little; but compared to silver, it is worth even less; and compared to gold, well, it isn’t worth anything.
And that was the stage where the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled.
And the First Coming of Christ, being under that stage of the Gentile kingdom, we find that it brought the death of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; because the Roman empire was the one that crucified Christ at the request of the Hebrew people. So, both the Hebrew people and the Roman empire, as the Gentile kingdom, have been responsible and have had their hands full of the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And the Blood of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ on a person’s hands doesn’t bring him any blessing, but instead judgment and condemnation. Because the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior is meant to be applied in our soul, in our heart; that is where it is of blessing to the person, because it cleanses him from all his sins.
And now, notice how because the Hebrew people asked for the Blood of Christ to be on them and on their children,1 God has been requiring the Blood of Christ at [the hands of] the Hebrew people, from those times until this end time, and that is why the Divine Judgment has fallen upon the Hebrew people; and Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin nearly exterminated the Hebrew people; because they were found guilty of the death of Jesus Christ.
And the Gentile empire is also guilty of the death of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; because the Roman empire along with the Hebrew people were the ones who carried out that crime.
The masterminds behind the murder were the Hebrew people, led by their religious leaders, such as the high priest, the Sanhedrin Council (the members of the Sanhedrin Council, the ones who agreed) and the priests, and other leaders who incited the people to ask for the crucifixion of Christ.
And it was the Roman empire or Gentile kingdom in the fourth stage who executed that crime; and therefore, the Gentile kingdom is sentenced to disappear.
The Gentile kingdom is sentenced to disappear, and the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.2 And these kingdoms, or the kingdoms here on Earth, will never be ruled by the Gentiles again, but by our beloved Lord Jesus Christ with His Church.
Now, notice how the Gentile kingdom owes a debt to God; that is also why the Divine Judgments have temporarily fallen upon the Gentile kingdom, in the different stages of the fourth empire here; and the Divine Judgments have also temporarily fallen upon the previous stages of the Gentile kingdoms because they persecuted the Hebrew people and killed many Hebrews.
And the Scripture tells us, speaking about the Hebrew people: “He who blesses you will be blessed, but he who curses you will be cursed.”3 We have seen that being fulfilled throughout the different stages of the Hebrew people.
And now, the Gentile kingdom in the fourth stage, we find, has also persecuted the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and therefore, it has been accumulating more judgment for itself. Not only has it persecuted the Hebrew people, but also the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and it has killed millions of believers in Christ our Savior.
It has killed millions of Christians and it has also killed millions of Hebrews; for all those crimes committed against the Hebrew people are credited to the Gentile empire or kingdom, in the different stages of the Gentile kingdom; and the crimes against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are also credited to the Gentile kingdom. And in the beginning of the Church, part of it was also credited to the Hebrews, that is, to the Hebrew people.
And now, we have seen that this stage of the legs of iron is the Roman empire under the Caesars.
• And then we go to the stage of the feet of iron and clay.
Notice, the legs are made of iron, and then the iron continues but covered with clay; in other words, the clay becomes the shoes of the feet of iron.
Just like we cover our feet with shoes of skin, now the Gentile kingdom puts on shoes of clay; in other words, the Gentile kingdom at the end time is muddied with clay: the iron is mixed with clay, but they don’t cleave together. Because you can’t mix iron and clay together; you can boil them both, but they won’t mix together. And such is the second part of the fourth stage of the Gentile kingdom.
This fourth stage has been moving; and in this fourth stage is where, at the end, we find that these ten toes of the statue or image… These ten toes are ten kings. Notice, in Revelation chapter 17, verse 12 and on, it says… (it is presented here, but using other symbols). It says:
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Now, this King of kings and Lord of lords is Christ. He is the same One who appears in Revelation chapter 19; notice, He is the same One who has written on His thigh and on His vesture: King of kings and Lord of lords. Because there can’t be two King—two Kings of kings and Lords of lords, it has to be only one: the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
And now, notice how the Gentile kingdom in the stage of the feet of iron and clay will confront Christ and make war with Christ, with Christ in His Second Coming as King of kings and Lord of lords; but the Gentile empire won’t even realize that it will be confronting Christ in His Second Coming as King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Prophet Daniel goes on to say:
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.”
Now, notice how this king (Nebuchadnezzar), the king of the first Gentile empire, how he recognized the Spirit of God manifested in Daniel, and how he gave Daniel an important position; notice, he made him ruler over the province of Babylon, that is, the capital. And notice how the Prophet Daniel was a blessing there for that first stage of the Gentile kingdom.
Because it is a stage of gold for the Gentile kingdom, notice, God was with the Prophet Daniel, there among the Gentile kingdom, and he even blessed King Nebuchadnezzar; and he even revealed many things to the king, and he made known to him that there is a God Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.
And now, notice how in that first part of the Babylonian empire, they recognized the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; although the Gentile kingdom, in all its stages, has had many gods, it has had many religions.
Now, notice how in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, which is the stage where the ten kings are with the beast and give their power and strength to the beast, that is the most disastrous stage of the Gentile kingdom or empire; and it is the stage of the Gentile kingdom that hardly has any value.
Because if you compare some feet of iron and clay to a head of gold, what is more valuable? Well, a head of gold.
And now, notice how the Gentile kingdom has been downgrading: from gold to iron and clay. And that is why, notice, it makes war with Christ and His Church; since the legs of iron, notice, it was already making war with Christ and His Church.
And at the Last Day, notice, it won’t happen again as it did in the stage of legs of iron, in the fulfillment of the Coming of Christ, the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God, who was killed: He was crucified by the legs of iron, that is, by the Roman empire.
But at the Last Day, at the end time, for the stage of the feet of iron and clay of the Gentile empire, the Second Coming of Christ, represented here in a stone cut out without hands that was cut out and came from the mountain… from which mountain? From the Mountain of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That Stone is cut out of that Mountain of God, because He is part of that Mountain: He is the head of that Mountain. He is the Stone that the builders rejected.4 He is the Cornerstone that crowns His Church, His mystical Body of believers.
And His Coming at the Last Day to His Church and in His Church will bring the great Divine Blessings for His Church; and It will make the Gentile kingdom cease to exist, It will make the Divine Judgment fall upon the Gentile kingdom; and Christ in His Second Coming will establish the Kingdom of God on Earth, and the kingdoms of this Earth will become the Kingdoms of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, notice that this stage of the feet of iron and clay of the Gentile kingdom, of the Gentile empire, is the stage in which the Gentile empire will come to an end.
The Gentile empire, notice, in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, has been having a rider on a white horse (the first horse here, from chapter 6 of Revelation), and then on a red horse, and then on a black horse, and for the fourth time on a pale horse: it is the antichrist on his path from past times to this end time.
His horse is changing colors. And it is the same rider: the same antichrist, with his horse: his political, religious, and demon power. That is the horse of the antichrist. And he comes with dogmas, creeds, and traditions among the human race, among the Gentile kingdom.
And now, for the end time, notice, the antichrist has a name here. It says, [Revelation] chapter 6, verses 7 to 8:
“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.”
His name was what? Death, and hell followed him, in other words, the fifth dimension. And all those who follow that rider, where will he take them? Well, to hell. And those who will follow him won’t have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Notice, Revelation chapter 13, verse 8, says… Let’s read a bit before that. Let’s start on verse 1, it says:
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,” (remember that waters represent nations, peoples, and tongues. And here the sea represents nations, peoples, and tongues), “having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy,” (other versions may say ‘blasphemous names’).
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”
Now, notice that this beast also has the characteristics of the previous empires, because it is the same Gentile empire in its final stage.
And now, notice that the devil, the dragon, gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.”
Those forty-two months are three and a half years; because in three and a half years, notice, there are forty-two months. Those are the three and a half years of the Great Tribulation.
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them,” (in other words, it was given to him to make war against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to overcome them), “and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
See how those people don’t have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? It says:
“If any man have an ear, let him hear.
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
Then, in chapter 17, verse 8… Let’s start a bit before that; we could read from 1 and on. But let’s… (to avoid reading too much), let’s read here [verse 8]:
“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition,” (‘ascend out of the bottomless pit’: the bottomless pit is hell, the fifth dimension); “and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom…”
And there it starts to show the formation of that final stage. It says:
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Now, notice how there will be a showdown at the Last Day between the antichrist and Christ.
“And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”
These ten kings have atomic power; and therefore, at the end of the Great Tribulation they will burn the great whore with atomic bombs, they will burn the beast with atomic bombs, as it says here. It says:
“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over (all) the kings of the earth.”
And notice how the Prophet Daniel also… meaning that these things were also prophesied even in the Book of the Prophet Daniel; because the things we find in the Book of Revelation, we also find them in the Book of the Prophet Daniel; sometimes using other symbols, but with the same meaning.
For example, we have in the Book of the Prophet Daniel, in chapter 9, let’s see… Let’s look at chapter 7 here first. Chapter 7 says (verse 6 and on, says):
“After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard…” (meaning, another beast).
The four empires are also shown here, the four empires are shown here. Let’s see, let’s find the fourth empire. Let’s start on verse 7 instead, where it tells us about the fourth empire, the Roman empire. It says:
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible…”
That fourth beast is the feet of iron and clay in the vision or dream of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar saw. But now, here, in this vision that the prophet (Daniel) had here, God shows it to him this way. It says:
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth,” (notice how the iron also appears there in the teeth), “it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.”
In the statue that Nebuchadnezzar saw, it had ten toes; and those ten toes here are the ten horns. And in Revelation chapter 17, verses *12 to 14, the ten toes, which are the ten horns, are ten kings.
“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.”
Now notice how even since the time of Daniel, these things that were put in the Book of Revelation had also already been spoken to the Prophet Daniel in these visions he had.
And here it appears that the beast was slain, destroyed, and given to be burned; this is the same thing that happens in Revelation chapter 7: the beast is destroyed, the great whore is destroyed, and it is burned with fire: that is atomic fire through the atomic bombs that will fall upon the beast; they will fall upon the great whore that comes upon that beast.
“As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.”
Notice how the other beasts, in other words, the other stages of the Gentile empire, had their dominion taken away; because each of those stages and each of those empires lost their dominion.
And now, at the end time, the Babylonian empire of Nebuchadnezzar no longer exists, nor does the empire of the Medes and Persians, nor does the empire of Greece; but all of that is concentrated in the fourth empire; it has all the characteristics of those previous empires.
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold…”
Notice, let’s explain verse 12 a little bit here:
“As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.”
In other words, Babylon still exists, Media and Persia still exist, Greece also exists, and Rome as well.
But notice, in that last stage is where the Roman empire goes down to the stage of the feet of iron and clay; and in that stage, he who doesn’t have prophetic vision won’t be able to realize that it is the Roman empire covered with clay.
Because clay, if you don’t take a good look at what is inside the clay, you won’t realize that it is the Roman empire that has come down to the feet part and has been covered with clay; which is none other than the stage where those ten kings give him their power and strength, and sign their covenants; and thus, they unite with that Roman empire, but that will be disguised at the end time: covered with clay, iron and clay.
And now, notice how the life of all those places and all those past stages has been prolonged; their life has been prolonged but without power, without dominion. For how long? For a season and time; in other words, until the Great Tribulation, where the Stone cut out without hands will break the feet of iron and clay to pieces, which is the stage that the Gentile empire would be in at this end time.
And by destroying the feet of iron and clay: the whole statue, the whole image will be destroyed; and that is why the Divine Judgment will fall upon the territories where those stages were fulfilled.
And therefore, the fourth beast, which is the Roman empire: the territory of the Roman empire (which is Italy, with Rome as its capital) will be a place where the atomic fire will fall, because it is the territory of the fourth stage of the Gentile kingdom.
And the other territories where the Gentile kingdom has been manifested in its different stages, will also receive the Divine Judgment.
Now, this is perhaps something difficult to think about, but the fire is already prepared.
It’s like in the antediluvian time: it was difficult to think that a flood would come when Noah was announcing it, but God had already made the water: H2O. God had the formula, and He had already made the water. Therefore, there was hydrogen and there was oxygen, which combined in that formula formed water.
So, God said a flood would come and no one could believe it except Noah and his family. And the flood came, once Noah had the ark ready; and Noah and his family, and the animals, and the birds, and reptiles went in, as God commanded him and the amount that God commanded the Prophet Noah; and then God closed the door of the ark, and the flood fell upon the Earth.5 Christ says: “And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away.”6 They didn’t know, they didn’t understand.
A dispensational prophet was present there: a simple man, but with both consciouses together, and with a dispensational ministry for a new dispensation, the third dispensation, which is the Dispensation of Human Government.
And notice, when God sends a prophet to Earth, God has something great to carry out. And when He sends a dispensational prophet, then what God has in store to carry out at that time is something greater; and it must be as God has promised for that time.
And now, notice how in the time of Noah they didn’t know the judgment that would come upon the Earth.
And now, for the end time, what is prophesied in the Old Testament and New Testament is that fire will come: atomic fire, volcanic fire, and all kinds of fire will be unleashed on this Earth; and thus, the Divine Judgment will fall upon the human race during three and a half years of Great Tribulation.
Throughout the years and centuries that have passed, the Divine Judgment has fallen partially upon some nations, some cities, and also some people; but for the Great Tribulation, it will be the Divine Judgment in all its fullness for the Gentile kingdom, which will be in the stage of the antichrist, of the beast, and who will make war with Christ, without knowing that by that stage Christ has changed from Lamb of God to Lion of the tribe of Judah and to King of kings and Lord of lords.
Therefore, Christ won’t be confronting the antichrist with a gentle hand, rather, the Scripture says: “And he shall rule them with a rod of iron.”7 When it says “rod of iron,” that is referring to something strong.
Notice, with a rod of iron, since the Gentile kingdom will also be in its fourth stage, which is the stage of iron; and at the end, iron and clay.
And now, Christ, with a rod of iron… That is here in Revelation chapter *19, verses… let’s see here, verses 14 and on, it says:
“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron,” (how? With a rod of iron), “and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God,” (He brings the Great Tribulation upon the Gentile kingdom).
“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
Here Christ in His Coming stands as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Notice that Christ comes at the Last Day on a white horse; and by coming on that white horse, He will obtain the victory against the antichrist.
Now, notice, Christ comes on a white horse; and the antichrist, at the Last Day, will be on a pale horse. Those horses are a power.
The antichrist comes on the political, religious, and demon power; a power mixed with politics, with religion, and with the devil’s power or demon power.
But Christ comes on a white horse, a snow-white horse, a power: Christ comes on the power of His pure Word.
That is the white horse, that is the fifth horse of Revelation chapter 19: Christ coming at the Last Day as King of kings and Lord of lords, coming, riding on the pure Word, on the power of the pure Word; without dogmas, without creeds, without traditions, without any of that. The power of God comes manifested in the Coming of Christ at this Last Day.
And His Coming is as It was promised: the Coming of the Son of man in His Kingdom with His Angels, as Christ promised It in Saint Matthew chapter 16, verses 27 to 28; and as He showed It on Mount Transfiguration, in chapter 17 of Saint Matthew, verse 1 to 7, where Christ was transfigured before Peter, James, and John.
On Mount Transfiguration His face shone as the sun. The sun, being the king of the stars, represents Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords; because Christ is our Sun. In Malachi chapter 4, verse 2, it says:
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.”
The rising of the Sun of Righteousness represents the Second Coming of Christ there.
The sun is a type and figure of Christ as King, because the sun is the king of the stars; and Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and He is our Sun, who enlightens our soul, and enlightens our understanding with His Word to be able to understand His entire Program, all the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
On Mount Transfiguration, we find Christ with His face shining as the sun. And this is also shown in Revelation chapter 1, verse 16, where the Son of man is in the midst of His Church. Chapter 1, verse 16, of Revelation, says:
“And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”
This is how we see the countenance or face of the Son of man here, because this is the symbolism of Christ as King.
And the Sword going out of His mouth (the Sword is the Word of God): the Word of God for the Last Day, going out of His messenger of the Last Day; because the mouth of God are the prophets that He sends from age to age.
And at the Last Day, He will have His last prophet, which is the prophet of the last dispensation; and the last dispensation is the seventh dispensation. Therefore, He will have the seventh dispensational prophet with the seventh dispensational Message, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, through the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is a dispensational prophet.
And it is the first time that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ receives a dispensational prophet. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has never had a dispensational prophet before.
When Jesus Christ appeared as a prophet, He was a dispensational prophet, but His Church had not been born yet; She was born on the day of Pentecost.
And since the day of Pentecost, Christ has sent prophets and apostles, teachers, evangelists, and pastors.8 Of the messengers of the seven ages, there are some among them who were prophets: such as Saint Paul for the first age, and there were also others like Martin; there were also others.
And also Rev. William Branham, the messenger of the seventh age of the Gentile Church, in the spirit and power of Elijah and as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; that was a prophet sent by God, a man in whom was the spirit of a prophet of the sixth dimension manifested in human flesh; and he had both consciouses together.
Because the prophets that God sends, He sends them with both consciouses together; that is why you can see throughout Biblical history that God’s prophets, in different stages of the history of the Hebrew people and also of the New Testament, have done things that humanly can’t be done. They can’t be done because only ten percent of the normal or ordinary human being’s brain is conscious; in other words, his subconscious and his conscious are separate.
And the conscious part is equivalent to one tenth, and the subconscious part is equivalent to… to how much? To eight…? To… let’s see here, one tenth… or eight parts… or nine parts; nine parts, yes, it is ninety percent (it’s because I was confusing tenths and hundredths there). One tenth is ten percent, and nine tenths is ninety percent.
So, notice, since the fall, the human being has come to Earth in a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, and with one tenth, meaning, ten percent conscious.
But back then, in the beginning, it wasn’t like that. Adam had one hundred percent conscious; as a prophet, he had both consciouses together. And he would pass everything he needed from the subconscious to the conscious.
If the human being, after the fall, with only one-tenth conscious, has been able to do so many things he has done, what would the human being be like with one hundred percent conscious? He wouldn’t need many of the things he has nowadays, and he wouldn’t be enslaved like he is nowadays.
In the ninety percent, which pertains to the subconscious, are the human being’s greatest riches.
And there in the subconscious is where the human being either believes or doubts the Word of God; that is why it is something there from the depths of the person’s soul: to believe or be an unbeliever. And God judges the heart and the intents of the heart.9
Now, notice how the human being, since the fall, until now, has been enslaved by the devil and has been suffering the consequences of the fall.
But through the Divine Program reflected in the Old Testament in those sacrifices, God offered the human being the opportunity of deliverance: by covering their sins with the blood of those sacrifices that were carried out; starting with Adam, who received that sacrifice and received the skins of the animal that was sacrificed.10 Adam and Eve were under that sacrifice that was made for them.
And notice, from that point on, we then find Abel offering God a sacrifice of a lamb, of an animal.
Cain didn’t have that revelation, that understanding, that knowledge, in his soul, and he brought God fruits as an offering;11 but there are no offerings of fruits or any of that for sin, rather, the sacrifice and offering for sin is a sacrifice with blood, a sacrifice of an animal back then, which was a type and figure of the Sacrifice of Christ as the Lamb of God dying on Calvary’s Cross.
That is why those sacrifices that the Hebrew people offered God and that Abel also offered, worked to cover their sins, and for Adam too.
But notice that no one could cover their sins, except the ones who would offer those sacrifices to God.
Cain, notice, since he didn’t offer God a sacrifice for his sin, he remained with his sins before God’s sight, and he couldn’t be redeemed. And then he became the first being who physically killed another person: his own brother, on his mother’s side.12 And notice, as the human race was starting out, Cain was a murderer.
And now, notice how so many problems of wars and deaths have emerged among the human race, since the fall.
But notice how God has been leading the human being to the Sacrifice of Christ: He has been leading them with the types and figures first, until the perfect Sacrifice came, so that the human being would come in contact with Eternal Life, and receive Christ as his Savior, wash away his sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit; and thus, receive a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
A theophanic body of the sixth dimension, so that—if the person’s physical body dies—that person goes to Paradise, to the sixth dimension, to live in that theophanic body he received from Jesus Christ.
And then, at the Last Day he has the promise to rise in an eternal body, where that person will be dwelling with the theophanic body he received.
And we who are alive and believe in Christ as our Savior, and have washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and have received His Holy Spirit, we have the promise (which is) that if we remain alive until the moment when the dead in Christ are raised, and we see them, we will be changed, and we will have an eternal and glorious body like the body of our Lord Jesus Christ: a glorified body; and this way, we will be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.
And all these people who will have this eternal body at the Last Day are the ones who come with Christ in Revelation chapter 19. That is the mighty Army of the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19, of the fifth horse Rider of Revelation, of chapter 19.
Christ said on one occasion: “My kingdom is not of this world; if It were of this world, then I would ask the Father and He would send Me, He would give Me,” (how many legions Miguel?) “twelve legions of angels.”13 And how many angels does each legion have? Two thousand? Or how many? (Later he will look it up in the concordance, where it says “legion,” to see if it says how many are there.) [Brother Miguel: I believe three thousand. Three thousand.]
So, if there are three thousand, how many would they be? Thirty-six thousand; and if there are two thousand, then they would be twenty-four thousand. But notice, an army of that size would have destroyed the entire Roman army and the entire Roman empire.
If one Angel among the Hebrew people, in one night, killed how many people, Miguel? [Brother Miguel: I think they were one hundred and forty-eight thousand.] In other words, more than a hundred thousand people? Miguel here says that one Angel alone killed more than one hundred thousand people in one night.14 Now, how would it be with twenty to forty thousand angels as soldiers under the command of the Archangel Michael? And the Archangel Michael, notice, under the command of Jesus Christ.
So, if Christ had asked for twelve legions in that time, He would have established the glorious Millennial Kingdom after finishing off the entire Roman empire. But notice, it was in the legs of iron, that stage of iron; He couldn’t do it.
At the end time is when Christ as the Stone cut out without hands comes and smites the image in the feet of iron and clay, and removes the kingdom of the beast, of the antichrist, and Christ establishes His glorious Millennial Kingdom; and He will reign on the Throne of David, over the Hebrew people and over all nations.
• Because as Son of David: He is the heir to the Throne of David, to sit on the Throne of David and reign over the Hebrew people. He is heir to the Kingdom of David; that was the Messianic Kingdom.
• And as Son of Abraham: He is the heir to all the territory of Israel; and He is heir to all the seed of Abraham.
• And as Son of man: He is heir to the planet Earth with all its inhabitants, and He is heir to the kingdom or kingdoms of the entire planet Earth.
And we are kings and priests, and we will reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity. And we will reign among the Hebrew people, and over the Hebrew people, and over all nations, with Christ our beloved Savior.
• And as Son of God: Jesus Christ is heir to the Heavens and the Earth as well. And we, as children of God, are heirs, with Christ, to the Heavens and the Earth, as well.
And here in Revelation chapter 19, the King of kings and Lord of lords comes, and those who come with Him are chosen and faithful: they are God’s elect, they are kings and priests too. In other words, He comes with a multitude of kings and priests, He comes with the multitude of all of God’s elect: the elect of past ages and the elect of this end time.
And when the resurrection of the dead in Christ and our transformation takes place, we will see how great the Army of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is, a Mighty Army, that Army of the fifth horse Rider of the Book of Revelation.
And now, we can see that great things will be taking place at this Last Day.
Now, how will everything unfold? Let’s let everything happen according to the Divine Program.
We already know that the fifth horse of Revelation, that appears in Revelation chapter 19, is a power: the power of the pure Word. And the Rider is Christ; Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord. Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, is the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Rev. William Marrion Branham, while praying on one occasion… his prayer appears here; and I want to read part of his prayer here, on page 318 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, where it says:
“[391] …may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
Who is the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit; in other words, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit.
And now, at the Last Day, the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19 will be manifested here on Earth. And what will that manifestation be like? Because with His Coming, He will bring great blessings to His people, to His Church, and then to the Hebrew people.
In the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, on page 97, it tells us:
“222 Now watch. Then it is He, the Lamb, that takes His Kingly position, when His saints come to crown Him, ‘Lord of lord, and King of kings.’”
Here, notice that he quotes us Revelation chapter 19.
Also, in the Book of The Seals, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us [page 154]:
“302 Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings,” (and Lord of lords).
And how will the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, become incarnate? How will He become incarnate at the Last Day, how will He come incarnate? How will the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 come incarnate? How will the Holy Spirit come on the white horse of Revelation 19, on the pure Word? How will the Holy Spirit come manifested in the pure Word at the Last Day? In the Book of The Seals, page 295, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says (in paragraph 196):
“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, the Word incarnate in a Man. In other words, the Word will come manifested in human flesh in a Man, in a Prophet, at the Last Day; just as the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, came incarnate two thousand years ago in the veil of flesh called Jesus.
That veil of flesh, that vesture, had a Name: the Name of Redemption. He had written on the vesture of His First Coming, He had the Name of Redemption: He had the Name Jesus; He had the Name of the Lamb of God there.
And now, at the Last Day, on His vesture and on His thigh, He has this Name written: King of kings and Lord of lords; meaning that the Name King of kings and Lord of lords will be written there on the vesture He will have at the Last Day.
Now, “King of kings and Lord of lords” is not a name, they are titles of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 in His manifestation at the Last Day in human flesh; and all those titles He has will be fulfilled in His manifestation at the Last Day in human flesh.
And the new Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, which He speaks about in Revelation chapter 3, verse 12, He says:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, (…) 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.”
He will write that Name upon the Overcomer: the Name of our God, the Name of the City of our God, and the new Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are people who don’t know that the Lord Jesus Christ has a new Name; and He says that He will write it upon the Overcomer; because the Overcomer will be His vesture, His veil of flesh, through which He will be clothed in human flesh visiting His Church at the Last Day, and then visiting the Hebrew people.
• Notice, when the Holy Spirit was manifested in Elijah the Tishbite, operating that powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit, the name of that vesture where the Holy Spirit was manifesting that ministry was called Elijah.
• Then, when the Holy Spirit came manifested in human flesh in Elisha, notice, the ministry of Elijah had a new name. And where was that name? On the vesture where that ministry was. On the vesture, the veil of flesh where that ministry was, the new name for that second manifestation of the ministry of Elijah was there.
• When Elijah came for the third time, well, it was the ministry of Elijah in another man. When Elijah was on Earth for the third time, he had a new name on his vesture: John the Baptist.
• Then, when Elijah was here for the fourth time, the ministry of Elijah in human flesh, veiled in human flesh (which is the ministry of the Holy Spirit manifesting that same ministry He had manifested in the Prophet Elijah), now when that ministry of the Holy Spirit is manifested for the fourth time in human flesh, in a veil of flesh, in a vesture of flesh, Elijah has a new name: Elijah in his fourth manifestation is named (what?) William Marrion Branham.
In the third he was called John the Baptist, in the second he was called Elisha, and in the first he was called Elijah.
Now notice how the name of the ministry is the name by which the ministry is called; but notice, the new name that ministry has is the name of the veil of flesh, of the vesture where that ministry is.
• And now, we have the promise of a fifth manifestation of Elijah; it is a fifth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah in a new vesture, meaning, in a new veil of flesh.
And Elijah will have a new name; that will be the name of the veil of flesh, meaning, of the new vesture he will have at the Last Day, where the ministry of Elijah will be manifested as one of the Two Olive Trees of Revelation chapter 11, and of Zechariah chapter 4; as one of the Two Anointed Ones. It is one of the two anointed ministries at the Last Day.
And the ministry of Moses is promised to be manifested at the Last Day.
In his first manifestation, some thousands of years ago, the veil of flesh was called Moses, meaning, the vesture where that ministry of God was, was called Moses. Moses means ‘taken out of the waters;’ and the waters represent the Word, and they also represent the Holy Spirit.
And now, for the Last Day we have the promise of the coming of Moses for the second time, as one of the Two Olive Trees; but on the vesture, on the veil of flesh where the ministry of Moses will be present again, it will have a name; meaning, it will be a new name for Moses, it will be a new name for the ministry of Moses, and that name will be the name of the veil of flesh, the vesture where that ministry will be.
And the ministry of Jesus is promised to be manifested at the Last Day for the second time in all His fullness. And the Word, Jesus Christ, will be manifesting His ministry on Earth for the second time in a veil of flesh, and that will be the Word incarnate in a Man at the Last Day, incarnate in a prophet: in the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone, who will be among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and then among the Hebrew people.
And it will be the first time that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have a dispensational prophet, where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifesting the ministry of Jesus for the second time, the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, and the ministry of Moses for the second time.
Therefore, those ministries manifested at the Last Day in the Angel of Jesus Christ, manifested by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, will have a new Name; and that will be the Name of the vesture, of the veil of flesh in which those ministries will be manifested; that will be the Name of the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone.
And that is the Name which, in the glorious Millennial Kingdom, will be used by Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.
It is one of the greatest mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but Christ was the One who said this, and no one can add to or take away from what Christ has said. It says, notice, Revelation… since Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17, He is talking about a new Name, and He says:
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
That white Stone is Jesus Christ, the Stone cut out without hands, the Stone that the builders rejected, who came two thousand years ago and was refused, rejected by the Hebrew people, and crucified by the Roman empire.
And now, at the end time, that white Stone comes with what? With a new Name. The Second Coming of Christ is with a new Name.
And He says that He will give that white Stone to whom? To the Overcomer; just as He says: “I will give him the morning star,” in other words, it is the same thing. Christ is the Morning Star, the Bright and Morning Star, and Christ is also the Stone, the white Stone with a new Name.
And giving him the white Stone or giving him the Bright and Morning Star, notice, that means giving him the Second Coming of Christ manifested in the Overcomer. And Christ comes with a new Name: the Eternal Name of God.
Now, here we see that the white Stone has a new Name; and whoever receives the white Stone, (or, the Second Coming of Christ), the Overcomer, well, he receives everything that white Stone has.
Notice everything that white Stone brings (let’s just see briefly). In Revelation chapter 2 as well, verses 26 to 29, it says:
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end,” (until when? Until the end. So, in the end there will be an Overcomer who will be keeping the works of Christ), “to him will I give power over the nations.”
Which of the seven angel-messengers of the seven ages had power over all the nations? None of them. Why? Because this promise was only partially fulfilled in the messengers of past ages; but it will be fulfilled in all fullness in the One who will be present in the end. And the end is the Last Day. That is the Last Day, the end of time. And that Messenger will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
“…to him will I give power over the nations.”
That is why in Revelation chapter 11, he has power over the nations, and he even has authority and power over nature.
“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron…”
But wasn’t the white-horse Rider of Revelation, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the One who would rule the nations with a rod of iron? It says here:
[Revelation 19:15] “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”
Notice, the white-horse Rider of Revelation, it says He is the One who does that; but notice that this Rider is the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit.
And now, notice, He says:
[Revelation 2:26] “And he that overcometh (…), to him will I give power over the nations:
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.”
In other words, the power that He (Jesus Christ) received of the Father, now He puts it in the Overcomer, and through the Overcomer He manifests that authority. And that is a promise for the Overcomer who will be living at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, and who will be the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
And now, notice how what He has received from the Father, He gives to the Overcomer, to His Angel-Messenger; and through His Angel-Messenger, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit operates everything He received from the Father.
“And I will give him the morning star.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
And now we go on to chapter 3, verse 12, of Revelation, where it says:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out,” (and who would want to go out of there after managing to enter?), “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.”
The Eternal Name of God, the Name of the new Jerusalem (which is the Eternal Name of God), and the new Name of Jesus Christ is the same Name; and that Name, Christ says: “I will write it upon the Overcomer.”
So, the Name that Jesus Christ receives, the new Name, when He ascends to Heaven victorious… Now, just as He gives the authority and power He received, and He gives it to the Overcomer, notice, He also gives His new Name: “I will write upon him, I will give him power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and I will write My new Name upon him,” which is the Name of the City of our God and is the Eternal Name of God.
Because there is no greater name for the City of our God than the Eternal Name of God. And there is no better name, a new name for Jesus Christ better than the Eternal Name of God. And there is no better name to be written upon the Overcomer than the Eternal Name of God, which is the new Name of Jesus Christ.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
And now, notice all the things that Jesus Christ will be placing upon the Overcomer.
And notice what will happen with the Overcomer during the Millennial Kingdom. 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.”
Just like when Jesus Christ overcame and ascended to Heaven, and sat on the Father’s Throne, on God’s Throne in Heaven, now Jesus Christ promises that He will do the same with the Overcomer, and He will seat him on His Throne.
And which is the Throne of Christ? Because Christ sat on the Father’s Throne in Heaven; but now Christ says that He has a Throne: “He will sit with Me in My Throne.” Let’s see which is that Throne of Jesus Christ, where He will sit, and from which He will reign, and where He will also seat His Messenger, the Overcomer.
In Saint Luke chapter 1, verse 30 and on, it says… Let’s see… Verse 26, so that you have a clear picture here; it says… Chapter 1, verse 26 and on, of Saint Luke, says:
“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
That is the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is the Throne that He inherits here on Earth; that is the Throne of David, to which Jesus Christ is heir.
And Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, coming at the Last Day as the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, as King of kings and Lord of lords, as Son of man and Son of David, will claim that Throne and will sit on His Throne; because that is His Throne. He is the heir to that Throne: to the Throne of David.
And the Overcomer will sit with Him; and through the Overcomer, He will manifest that power over all the nations, and will rule them with a rod of iron. And the Eternal Name of God, the Name of the City of our God, of the new Jerusalem, and the new Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, will be upon the Overcomer.
And the promise of Saint Matthew chapter 24, which Christ makes to the Faithful and Wise Servant, will be fulfilled. Chapter 24, verses 42 to 47, says (in Saint Matthew, Jesus says):
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”
The Son of man comes (what?) in such an hour as you think not.
How does the Son of man come? He comes as Son of man and Son of David.
“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?”
Now, which is the House of God, the Household of the Lord? That is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Hebrews, chapter 3, Saint Paul the Apostle tells us in verses 5 to 6, he says:
“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”
Notice, the House of God is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because just like it tells us in Saint Luke (the Scripture we read), in chapter 1, notice here, chapter 1 of Saint Luke, says:
“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David…”
Now, when it says: “of the house of David,” it means, “of the seed of David,” in other words, of the family of David.
Joseph was a descendant of David, he was a prince of the house of David; just like Mary was also a descendant of King David, therefore, she was a princess. Even though Joseph and Mary were poor, but notice, poverty doesn’t take away what you are before God.
And now, notice that Joseph was of the house of David, and so was Mary.
Now, when it says: “of the house,” that is not referring to four walls, but to the family, to the seed.
And here, when it refers to the House of God, to the House of the Lord, it is referring to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in other words, the sons and daughters of God, which are the House of God.
And this House is the One that Christ has been put over, as a Son over His House. Because a servant doesn’t inherit the House of God, nor does he inherit that Divine inheritance, he must be a child of God. “And Christ as a Son over His own House; whose House are we.”
And now, Christ, who is over His House, notice what He does. It says:
“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?”
Now notice, the Lord of the House, who is over His Household, who is Christ, has put servants over His Household, has put messengers over His Household, has put faithful and wise servants for His Church.
Saint Paul in the first age, to give the spiritual Food to the children of God, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the first age; and thus, to feed God’s children, with what? With the Word of God; because “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”15
And Saint Paul, as the mouth of Christ, the mouth of God for the first age, the Word of God was proceeding out of him for the Household of God, for the children of God in that first age.
And likewise, from age to age, Christ sent faithful and wise servants, who were faithful and wise in the age in which they were given to live, and who fed God’s children in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, they brought the spiritual Food of the Word of God, of the Message of God pertaining to the age in which God sent them.
But now, who is the Faithful and Wise Servant of all these servants that He would send to His Household? Which is the Faithful and Wise Servant whom…? It says: “Whom his Lord when He cometh…” Let’s see:
“Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
In other words, the Faithful and Wise Servant who is in the House of God feeding the sons and daughters of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (with what?) with the Word of God, with the Message pertaining to that time. To the time of what? The Message, the spiritual Food pertaining to the time of the Coming of the Lord.
Who is that Faithful and Wise Servant that will be in the House of God giving that spiritual Food when his Lord comes, when the Second Coming of Christ is fulfilled? That Servant who will be in the House of God, meaning, in the Church of Jesus Christ, who will be here… because here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, is where the Second Coming of Christ is fulfilled.
Now the question is: “Who is that Faithful and Wise Servant, that blessed Man?
“Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.”
“Over all His goods;” in other words, he will be the administrator of all the goods of his Lord. And that is why:
• He gives him power over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron;
• He gives him the white Stone; in other words, the Second Coming of Christ is manifested by Christ through—and He reveals it through—His Angel Overcomer, His Messenger Overcomer;
• and He writes upon him His new Name, which is the Name of the City of our God, the Jerusalem, the new Jerusalem, and It is the Eternal Name of God.
[Revelation 3:21] “…(and him) will I grant to sit with me in my throne.”
• In other words, He will go to the glorious Millennial Kingdom directly to Jerusalem, to sit there with Christ in His Throne.
“…He shall make him ruler over all his goods.”
In other words, the elect of the Last Day will have a good representative in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ; because the One who will sit with Christ in His Throne there will be the Overcomer who will be living at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, giving the spiritual Food to God’s elect in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the territory that pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
And notice all the blessings that Christ will bestow upon the Overcomer, upon the Overcomer who will be living at the Last Day and who is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As the administrator, the Faithful and Wise Steward or Servant, he will be administering all the goods of Christ; in other words, Christ through him, Christ in Holy Spirit, will be administering through His Messenger everything He has promised for His Church at the Last Day.
Christ has promised the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet to call and gather the elect, then to bring about the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.
And through His Angel-Messenger, Christ—with that Great Voice of Trumpet—in Holy Spirit will be speaking with that Great Voice of Trumpet, and will be calling and gathering His elect, and thus, will be revealing to us all these mysteries, all these things which must shortly come to pass, in the seventh millennium, that is, at the Last Day.
And that is how the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, comes at the Last Day, veiled in human flesh; Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the white-horse Rider of Revelation, comes in human flesh.
“[196] … 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.”
It is the Coming of the Holy Spirit incarnate in a Man; and that Man is the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and Angel-Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And through that Prophet, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, will be riding on the white-horse of the pure Word at this Last Day; because that white-horse represents, symbolizes the power of the pure Word: without dogmas, without creeds, without traditions, rather, the pure Word of God for this Last Day.
And that is why the white-horse Rider of Revelation comes manifested in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger, giving us His Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; that Message represented in the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet and in the Seven Thunders of Revelation chapter 10.
Because the Seven Thunders are the Voice of God in His Coming, crying as when a Lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices. It is the Voice of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, veiled in human flesh, coming in human flesh; the Word, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, coming in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger, in the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, at the Last Day, speaking to us all these things which must shortly come to pass.
And by hearing the things He will be speaking to us through His Angel-Messenger, we are hearing what? The Seven Thunders of Revelation chapter 10.
Now we have seen the mystery of the white horse of Revelation chapter 19, which is the [fifth] horse of the Book of Revelation.
And the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ told us, on page 1 of the message “God’s Only Provided Place of Worship,”16 he told us: “From the West will come a white-horse Rider. We’ll ride this trail,” (meaning, this ministerial path), “again,” (or once more). “It’s a promise.”
Since it is a promise, it must be in the Bible; and in Revelation 19, the Rider appears on that white horse.
And now, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says He will come from where? From the West.
Latin America and the Caribbean belong to the West, along with North America.
In North America, God already fulfilled the seventh age of the Gentile Church, and only Latin America and the Caribbean is left to fulfill the Age of the Cornerstone, and for the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19 to be present; and for the people to be present who will receive Him at this Last Day, in His Coming, in the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19, which is according to what God said through the forerunner of the Second coming of Christ: “The Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
That is the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19.
He comes on the white horse of the pure Word: without dogmas, creeds, and traditions; He comes on the power of the pure Word. And that is why, with that power of the pure Word, He will carry out everything He has promised for this Last Day.
And where are the ones who would see the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19 coming at the Last Day in human flesh? Here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean. And we are here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which pertains to the Latin American and Caribbean territory, where a new dispensation opens, which overlaps with the Dispensation of Grace, because the Dispensation of the Kingdom opens and overlaps with the Dispensation of Grace.
And the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19 opens that new dispensation by coming in human flesh; by the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit coming; coming in human flesh: coming in a Man at the Last Day; and manifesting Himself and fulfilling every promise He has made for this Last Day, fulfilling each of those promises at the time relevant to each of them.
In other words, he comes progressively fulfilling every promise, to usher in the glorious Millennial Kingdom; because he also ushers in the seventh millennium.
If we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already in the seventh millennium; but if we don’t add the years it is behind, then there are only three years left for the sixth millennium to end and the seventh millennium to begin.
Now, could God’s calendar have fallen behind? What do you think? I don’t think so. Who can delay God’s calendar?
Now, [the calendar] of human beings has fallen behind, but God’s calendar has not fallen behind. So, if God’s calendar has not fallen behind, then God must be progressively fulfilling His promises relevant to the seventh millennium. Many have already been fulfilled, and others are yet to be fulfilled.
For example, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, Christ said it would be when? Let’s see when. Christ said in Saint John chapter 6, verses 39 to 40:
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.” (When does He say that He has the commission to raise up the dead in Christ? At the Last Day.)
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
When is the resurrection? At the Last Day.
Therefore, the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet is also at the Last Day; “for the Trumpet (the Last Trumpet) shall sound, and the dead in Christ will rise first, and then we who are alive will be changed.” First Corinthians chapter 15, verses 49 to 55.
And now, we see that also this, which was also appointed for the Year of Jubilee: that the Trumpet of the Year of Jubilee would sound, and liberty would be proclaimed throughout all the land. That is the glorious liberty of all the children of God: when we who are alive are changed, after the dead in Christ have risen in eternal bodies.
That is the adoption of the children of God: it is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, to be adopted as children of God with eternal bodies, in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, with a glorified body; and to obtain our inheritance, God’s inheritance, and be joint-heirs with Christ, and reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity in the glorious Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; because that is the Kingdom of God that will be established on Earth.
And now, where are God’s sons and daughters of the Last Day, who will reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity? Here we are. We have said: “Present!” To the call of Jesus Christ at this Last Day with the Great Voice of Trumpet, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, with which He is calling and gathering all His elect at this Last Day in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Latin America and the Caribbean is the setting of the Divine Program pertaining to the Last Day in His mystical Body of believers, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
We are living in the most glorious time and in the most important territory of the Divine Program currently; together with the territory of Israel, which is the territory where the Kingdom will be established, and from which Christ will rule over the Hebrew people and over all nations.
And just like at this Last Day we will be seeing the Coming of the Rider of the fifth (white) horse of Revelation 19, the Hebrew people will also see Him; they will see Him coming on the white horse of the pure Word. And with that power of the pure Word, He will carry out everything that is promised for this Last Day.
We have reached the most glorious time of all times. We have reached the time of the opening of the mystery of the fifth horse of Revelation and of the Rider who comes on that fifth horse of the Book of Revelation, of chapter 19.
Now, we have seen that a horse represents a power, and that is the power of the pure Word; that is why He comes with the power of the spoken Word at the Last Day. God’s power will be manifested there in all His fullness.
But it all begins in a simple and progressive way, until reaching the manifestation of God in all His fullness, and the fulfillment of the promises of the great events that will be carried out and of the great miracles that will be seen by just speaking the Word; which will be fulfilled in the Coming of the Rider of Revelation 19, who will be speaking; because that Rider is the Holy Spirit, it is Christ in Holy Spirit coming at the Last Day in human flesh, coming in a Man.
And that Sword, that Word, will proceed out of the mouth of Christ. And the mouth of Christ at the Last Day will be His veil of flesh, His Angel-Messenger, His Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
And with that Word that will proceed out of the mouth of Christ, out of the messenger of Christ, the great events promised by Christ for this Last Day will be carried out.
And it will reach a stage where Christ, through His prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, who is His Angel-Messenger, will speak and things will happen.
There will be a stage where great physical miracles will be performed. And you will see not only Divine healing over people who have cancer or some other disease, but you will also see dead people being raised; for Christ is the One who will raise [them]. He says: “And I will raise him up,” when? “at the Last Day.”
You won’t just see one dead person, you will see millions of sons and daughters of God who have died (whose bodies have died thousands of years ago), you will see them raised in eternal bodies, to never die again; and that is truly a miracle, a miracle promised by Christ for the Last Day. “For all the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God and they will resurrect, they will rise,” to what? To Eternal Life.17
And let’s see… Look, people who were missing an arm or a leg, do you think when they rise they will still come with a limp? Will they come missing a leg? No. They will come with both their legs in the new body.
And even in paradise, if the believers in Christ were missing a leg or an arm or an eye, they don’t have a limp over there in the theophanic body that they have, they are there in a body that is whole; and when they return to the new body, it will be a body that will be whole too.
The one that had so many problems was the physical body; we have problems in this one. But in the new one we won’t have a single problem.
And now, for the peak or climax of the stage of the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, great physical miracles will also be seen among the people who will be living in these mortal bodies; but there is a time for that.
There is a time for that, and that is why we don’t get ahead of ourselves, instead, we wait for that time to come.
Now it is the stage of the Voice of Christ, the Holy Spirit, calling and gathering His elect by making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, and thus making known to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Second Coming, of the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19.
That is the mystery that is opened, that is made known; and by that mystery being made known, all of God’s elect are called and gathered.
That is the mystery that the Seven Thunders contain and make known; and it produces the revival, the awakening of the Age of the Cornerstone, in the territory pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone, that is, in Latin America and the Caribbean; just like the revival, the awakening pertaining to each age, came through the Message of Christ through the messenger of each age, in the territory where each messenger was.
And now, notice, the spiritual awakening, the spiritual revival for our soul pertaining to the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, comes through the revelation that the Voice of Christ gives us, the Voice of Christ crying as when a lion roars and the Seven Thunders uttering their Voices; the Voice of Christ, the Seven Thunders, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, making known to us the mystery of the Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation, the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit to the Age of the Cornerstone, among the Latin American and Caribbean people, Jesus Christ manifested in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, through the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Notice what would produce this revival that we are having in Latin America and the Caribbean at this end time. This awakening, this revival, could not come any other way.
God had established the way that revival would come: it would be through the Seven Thunders, which reveal the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19; the Coming of the Holy Spirit, of the Word, the Word of God incarnate in a Man. That is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, that is the mystery of the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, verses 11 to 21.
And that is the mystery we were waiting for Jesus Christ to open to us in Latin America and the Caribbean, in another language, which was not the language of the seventh messenger, nor the sixth, nor the fifth, nor the fourth, nor the third, nor the second, nor the first either.
That was not the language in which the seven angel-messengers spoke, because that would be the language in which Christ would speak through His Angel-Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, to the Latin American and Caribbean people, so that we could understand the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19.
We have seen on this occasion: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FIFTH HORSE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION.”
And there will be a showdown of—between the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 and the pale-horse rider of Revelation chapter 6, verses 7 to 8. In other words, there will be a showdown of the fourth horse rider, which is the antichrist (the pale-horse rider), against the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19.
The white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 is Christ, the Holy Spirit, coming in human flesh at the Last Day, coming in a Man; and the [pale]-horse rider of Revelation chapter 6, verses 7 to 8, is the devil coming incarnate in the antichrist, in the man of sin. In other words, they will both be here, and there will be a showdown.
Now, we have seen this mystery of the white-horse Rider of Revelation, and we have seen what the white horse of Revelation 19 is.
I will be with you again at… in the next service, after lunch, at 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon; and the subject will be (let’s read a little bit here so that you already have an idea of what we will be talking about): “THE MYSTERY OF THE ANGEL WITH THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD,” which appears in Revelation 7, verse 2 and on, where it says:
“And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”
And we will stop here. That is what we will be speaking about in the next service, at 2:00 in the afternoon.
So, we will be seeing that mystery hidden there, in that Biblical passage, in that prophetic passage, to be fulfilled at this end time.
May the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Angel of the Covenant, the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, the King of kings and Lord of lords, be upon each one of you and also upon me; and soon may we all be changed and raptured.
And soon may those who are yet to be called and gathered hear the call of Christ and come, and be gathered into the mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And soon may the dead in Christ rise in eternal bodies too, and may all of us who are alive be changed; and may all of us, in an eternal and glorified body, spend thirty to forty days here in that manifestation of the sons and daughters of God in eternal bodies, and then may we go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to be with Him for three and a half years in that great feast of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and then come back to Earth for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ, where we will be kings and priests reigning with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present, radio listeners and television viewers; and continue having an afternoon or a day filled with the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
We will see each other again at 2:00 in the afternoon, God willing.
May God bless you and keep you all.
With us again: Reverend and Missionary Miguel Bermúdez Marín.
God bless you.
