The Eternal One

Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are in other nations.

Now, let’s read in Hebrews, chapter 7, verse 1 and on, where the apostle Saint Paul says, referring to Melchizedek, and the Order of Melchizedek:

“For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand it. Our subject is: “THE ETERNAL ONE.”

In the Scripture that we read, it tells us that this Melchizedek is without beginning of days. It says, verse 3:

“…Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.”

Who is this Melchizedek, who has no beginning of days nor end of days either, who has no end of life? He is the Eternal One, the Eternal God, who became God when He created angels, cherubims, seraphims, archangels, because God is an object of worship. When there was nothing created, there were no angels, nor cherubims, nor seraphims: there was no one to worship the Eternal One; therefore, He wasn’t God, He was the Eternal One, the One who has always existed; but when He created angels, cherubims, heavenly beings, and they worshiped Him, then He became God, He became an object of worship.

How did He carry out Creation? God through His Spirit, which is the Logos, which is the Angel of the Covenant, and which is the image of the living God, who was in the beginning with God and was God, He spoke each and every thing into existence and it came into creation that way, each one at the relevant time.

Science has said that they discovered that an energy existed before Creation, and that this is what originated Creation. We can see that the Word that was God originated Creation. That is what it tells us in Hebrews and also what it tells us in Saint John, chapter 1, when it tells us:

“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.”

The Word is the Logos, that Pillar of Fire called the Angel of the Covenant, which is the heavenly body of God, the theophanic body of God, it is the image of God.

In Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 and on, it says:

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

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds,” (notice, through whom did God make the worlds or the universe? Through the Word, through the Son).

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person…”

The image of God is the Word, and the Word is the Angel of the Covenant. Notice, Saint John, chapter 1, let’s continue there, verse 3 goes on to say:

“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”

All the Divine Creation was made by the Word; that is to say, God in that heavenly theophanic body spoke all things into existence. Everything that was in God’s Mind, to bring it into existence, He spoke it through the Word, through His image, His heavenly body.

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not,” (the world was made by whom? By the Word).

“He came unto his own,” (in other words, to the Hebrew people), “and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

And when the Word, which was with God and was God, through which God spoke all of Creation into existence, when He was made flesh we knew Him by the Name Jesus or Jesus Christ; that is why Jesus Christ would say: “The Father and I are one.” And He would also say: “The works that I do, I do not of Myself; the Father that dwells in Me, He does the works.”¹

It’s because Jesus Christ is the image of God, the heavenly body of God, and He is the physical likeness of God, the human body of God.

Remember that God created the human being in His image and likeness; in the image of God: the spiritual or heavenly body, and in the likeness of God: the physical human body.

What resembles God the most is the human being, is the crown of Creation. And just as God has free moral agency, He gave the human being free moral agency; therefore, a responsibility to choose between right and wrong; and He recommends that he chooses the right thing, that he chooses life so that he lives eternally.²

Just as the human being is a soul, which is equivalent to—in terms of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the soul of the human being is equivalent in God to what the Father is; and the spirit of the person is equivalent to what in God is the Holy Spirit; and the physical body of the human being is equivalent to Jesus Christ the Son of God, it is the physical form, the physical likeness of God, which is Jesus Christ.

Many prophets of God throughout Biblical history have said, like Jacob: “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” (Genesis chapter 32, verse 24 to 32).

And Manoah also said in Judges chapter 13, he told his wife, Mrs. Manoah, when the Angel of the Lord gave him the news that they would have a child, who would be Samson, and he would be one of the judges of Israel in the stage of Israel’s theocracy (the theocracy, which ended with Samuel, and the monarchy began with Saul, and continued with King David); we find that Manoah told his wife when he saw that the sacrifice or offering that he made for God, he saw that the angel ascended in the flame of fire of the sacrifice that Manoah had offered to God… then he realized it was the Angel of God.

And notice what he tells his wife: “We will die, because we have seen God face to face.” And what they were seeing was the Angel of God. Just like Moses, in chapter 3 of Genesis, finds himself with the Angel of God in that flame of fire, in that burning bush, that tree, and the Angel tells him: “I am the God of your father, (in other words, of Amram the father of Moses), the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

And how is the Angel the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? It’s because the Angel of God is the heavenly body of God, where God dwells, and through which He manifested Himself to the prophets from Adam to now, and through which He created the universe, and through which He also gave the Law on Mount Sinai to Moses, for the Hebrew people. That is why in the Book of Acts chapter 7, and Hebrews chapter 2, it says that the Law was given by commission of angels.

On Mount Sinai the Angel of the Covenant (that is, God in His heavenly body, with His Army) was giving Moses the Law on two tables of stone;³ and when those tables were broken, when Moses went down and saw the people in a pagan feast worshiping the golden calf, he broke the tables, the two tables of stone where the ten commandments were written,⁴ and then he had to prepare two tables himself and go up the mountain for the ten commandments to be written there again.⁵

God was there speaking to the people according to chapter 13 of Deuteronomy, and chapter 18, verses 15 to 19, of Deuteronomy.

Some people don’t understand the mystery of God the Father, and of Christ, as Saint Paul says in Colossians, chapter 2, verses 2 to 3: “In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Notice, the prophets of the Old Testament said that they had seen God; and then in Saint John chapter 1, verse 18, it says: “No man has seen God at any time.” It seems like a contradiction.  It says: “… the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him,” (in other words, He has made Him known). In plain words: no one has seen God the Father, the Eternal One. All those who said that they saw God, what they saw was the Angel of the Covenant, the heavenly body of God, which is none other than the heavenly body of Jesus Christ.

That’s why Jesus Christ said in Saint John chapter 8, verses 56 to 58: “Your father Abraham desired to see My day: he saw it, and was glad.” The Jews tell Him: “You are not yet fifty years old, and You say that You have seen Abraham?” Jesus Christ tells them: “Before Abraham was, I am.”

How was Jesus Christ before Abraham? He was the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, called the Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament; He is the Angel of the Lord, the theophanic body of God, the heavenly body of God; He is the image of the living God, which we read about in Hebrews, chapter 1, when it speaks to us about Christ as the image of God. And it also tells us in Colossians, in chapter 1, verse 15:

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.”

The image of the invisible God, the image of the Eternal One. The visible heavenly image of God is Christ, the Word, the heavenly body of God.

Remember that God—being Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is an image, He has an image and He has a likeness. The image is the heavenly body of God, theophanic body; in plain words: the heavenly body of Jesus Christ; and the likeness is the physical body of Jesus Christ.

For this reason, since the image of God is the Word, Christ in His heavenly body, and the physical likeness of God is the physical body of Jesus Christ; God the Father is in the image and in the likeness. That is why He made the human being in His image: a heavenly body, a spiritual body first; and then He made him the physical likeness out of the dust of the ground, taking and forming a physical body.

That is why since the human being is in the image and likeness of God, he is soul, spirit, and body; just like God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That is why Christ said in Saint John, chapter 10, verse 30: “The Father and I are one.”

This is just like we are: soul, spirit, and body, but we are what? One thing, one person, we are not three people; we are one person: a living soul with a spiritual body of another dimension and a physical body of this earthly dimension.

That is why when a person dies, what died is the physical body; but the person continues to live in the dimension of the spirit that he has: he goes to paradise if he serves God; he doesn’t go to Paradise if he doesn’t serve God.

That was the case that Christ mentioned about the rich man and Lazarus the beggar.⁶ One went to the Bosom of Abraham, where Abraham was; and the other went to a place where he later did not want to be; and then didn’t want his brothers to be in that place, and he wanted Abraham to send Lazarus to his brothers to tell them what it’s like after death, so they wouldn’t go to that same place.

Notice, he worried for his brothers after he had died; but while we live is when we have the opportunity to avoid going to that terrible place (also called the fifth dimension or hell); by serving Christ, receiving Him as Savior, we avoid going to that place. Perhaps the rich man thought that was not true, but when he got to that place, he realized that what the Bible said was true.

Therefore, it’s while we live in these mortal bodies that we have the opportunity to avoid hell and to go to Paradise, which is the sixth dimension, where the believers in Christ are waiting there until Christ passes through Paradise and brings them with Him in the resurrection; to rise in eternal bodies, immortal bodies, glorified bodies. We live by faith believing those Divine promises.

And just as Christ died, He had to go to hell—the fifth dimension—because He took our sins, became sin for us, and had to go where we were supposed to go (He went so that we don’t have to go there); and there, He gave our sins to the originator of sin, which is the devil.

And He took the keys of hell and death away from him, He left hell, and He went to the Bosom of Abraham, which was the Paradise of that time, which was also on Earth; and He came out with Abraham, He went to where Abraham was, and He came out of there with the saints that were in the Bosom of Abraham: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their families, the patriarchs, and their wives.

And many of the saints that slept, the Scripture says that they rose with Him when Christ resurrected, and they appeared to many in the city (chapter 27, verse 51 and on, of Saint Matthew); and they appeared to many of their family members in the city; and Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples, and to their families, to His earthly family: to Mary, to His earthly brothers, to His disciples, and so forth. And He was with them appearing to them for a period of forty days; let’s say, every Sunday, the first day of the week, He appeared to them. There are two cases mentioned where He appeared the first day,⁷ and it is normal for Him to appear every Sunday.

When we gather on Sundays to worship God and receive His Word, we also believe that He is with us in Holy Spirit. He said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Saint Matthew chapter 28, verse 20.) And Saint Matthew chapter 18, verse 20, says: “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I will be there.” In other words, the Presence of Christ in Holy Spirit was promised by Himself.

Therefore, when we come to Church to gather to worship God and receive His Word, we know that Christ in Holy Spirit is in the midst of His people; for He said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.” And this is in the New Covenant that He said He would establish with the house of Jacob and the house of Israel, from Jeremiah chapter 31, verse 31 to 36.

And now, it’s under the New Covenant, of which He said in the last supper with His disciples, breaking the bread, He gave to His disciples after giving thanks, and He said: “All of you eat of it, for this is My body which is broken for many.” And taking the cup and giving thanks to the Father, and giving the cup to His disciples He said: “Drink ye all of it; For this is My Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”⁸

See? A New Covenant; and that’s what was promised, a New Covenant that God would make with the house of Judah and with the house of Israel (according to Jeremiah chapter 31, verse 31 to 36).

And now in the New Covenant the circumcision is not literal, but in the heart; and Saturday represents Christ; and the Passover is Christ. “Our Passover, which is Christ, was already sacrificed for us,” Saint Paul says in First Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 7. And John the Baptist tells us when He saw Jesus in chapter 1 of Saint John, verses 27 and on, 27 to 36: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

If He is going to take away the sin then He has to carry out a sacrifice; and He did so with His own body, which was offered as a Sacrifice for the sin of the human being, by Him bearing our sins; and thus, He became mortal upon taking our sins and dying for us. And when a person receives Christ as his Savior, the Sacrifice of Christ becomes effective for the person; until he receives Him, the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross doesn’t become effective in the person.

Christ carried out the great work, we carry out the simple work in an act of faith, receiving Him as our only and sufficient Savior, and being baptized in water in His Name; that is why Christ said in Saint Mark, chapter 16, verses 15 to 16:

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

Many people think that there is no life after physical death, but perhaps that is what the rich man thought, and he woke up to reality when he saw that there was life after physical death.

It’s important to understand these things and to be aware of, to know, the mystery of God the Father, and of Christ; to know the mystery of the Eternal One, of the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

From stage to stage in the history of the human race, there is a great manifestation of God, and then some minor, yet important, manifestations. The minor manifestations are from age to age within a dispensation. But when the time comes for that dispensation to end, it reaches a golden stage, where a manifestation in all of the fullness of God comes in a messenger whom He sends, a dispensational messenger, just as He had sent messengers for different ages. Because God’s way of revealing Himself to human beings is by His Spirit through the prophets. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets unto His servants His prophets,” God tells us through Amos, chapter 3, verse 7.

And God’s way of speaking to His people is by His Spirit through the prophets. That is in Zechariah chapter 7, verses 11 to 12, where it says:

“But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit…”

How does God send His Word to His people? By His Spirit. Through whom? Through the prophets.

“… by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”

Remember that on Sinai the people were hearing that manifestation of God giving the Divine commandments, and they were afraid; and they said to Moses: “Let not God speak with us. Let God speak with you, and you speak with us, lest we die.”⁹ Chapter 18, verse 15 and on, of Deuteronomy, says:

“The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken…”

There are prophets of ages and there are prophets of dispensations. Dispensational prophets are major prophets whom God sends to Earth when the end of a dispensation comes, to speak to the people in order to begin a new dispensation.

Prophets like Moses, in a minor form, are the prophets of different stages or ages; and a prophet like Moses has to be a dispensational prophet. That is why Jesus was a prophet like Moses, He was the prophet of the Dispensation of Grace. The Messiah must be a dispensational prophet to be a prophet like Moses. That is why in the Scripture, in the book of Acts chapter 7, it says that Jesus was a prophet like Moses, as it was promised.

It’s through the prophets—who are the veil of flesh in which God enters and manifests Himself and speaks to the people—that these promises are fulfilled; and when God sends a prophet for an age, God comes manifested in him, and the Word of God for that stage of the Divine Program is there; and that is the Light of God for that age, for all the people; it is God shining through a veil of flesh, speaking through a veil of flesh and carrying out His Work pertaining to that time.

John the Baptist was a prophet; and of the prophets of that dispensation, with the exception of Moses, John was the greatest; but Jesus says: “But any of these little ones, the least, is greater than John.”¹⁰ That is because the prophets of the Old Testament belong to the people who are the servants, they are the servants of God, and the believers in Christ are the sons and daughters of God.

And in a kingdom, what is greater: a servant or a son? A son is greater. That is why the least of these little ones of the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist; and yet Christ, saying that John was greater than the other prophets, said: “He was a burning light (a lamp); and you were willing to walk in his light. But I have greater witness than that of John;”¹¹ in other words, He has a greater Light, because He is the Word made flesh, He is a promised prophet like Moses, who would be the Messiah.

The Light for an age or for a dispensation is always God, who is Light, veiled in a prophet in whom He puts His Word, and through that prophet God speaks to the people. And that manifestation of God is the Light for that age or for that dispensation. That is why Jesus said: “I am the Light of the world; he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life.” Saint John chapter 8, verse 12. The whole Divine Program is that simple.

And the manifestation of God for each time is always with and in the midst of the people who are under the Covenant that is in effect at that time.

The Jews were waiting for the Coming of the Messiah two thousand years ago; He came, and they didn’t recognize Him. It was in God’s Program for them not to recognize Him, they stumbled over the veil of flesh in whom God was veiled and revealed to the Hebrew people, doing the works that the Prince Messiah was promised to carry out.

That is why Christ would tell them: “If you do not believe in Me, believe the works, because they are the ones that bear witness of Me.”¹² The works are the ones that identify the Presence of God in a veil of flesh in each time, it has always been that way.

For example, in the time of Moses, God was shining through Moses, shining upon the people; therefore, Moses was the Light for his day. And so is each messenger for each age, and each dispensational messenger for each dispensation.

We have already had six dispensational messengers: Adam, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus; and the seventh is still to come, who will also be a dispensational prophet like Moses, who was a dispensational prophet.

That is why Israel is waiting for a prophet like Moses, and they are also waiting for a prophet like Elijah, proclaiming everlasting peace. And they know what he will be speaking, what that prophet who will be like Elijah will be doing, and they know what that prophet who will be like Moses will be doing.

All that is included in the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, who comes with His Angels, which are the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, according to Revelation chapter 11, verse 1 to 14, and Zechariah chapter 4, verses 11 to 14. There lies the mystery of the Seventh Seal, there lies the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels.

That is why it hasn’t been possible to turn the Hebrew people to Christ; because they are waiting for Elijah and Moses too. And as a rabbi told us years ago in an event in Bogota, Colombia: “But Elijah won’t literally be Elijah, he will be a man like us, a man of the time in which that prophecy is fulfilled; he won’t be the Elijah of back then, Elijah the Tishbite.”

When God promises to send a prophet for a second time or a third time, or a fourth time or a fifth time, it will always be the ministry of that first one in whom God operated that ministry through the Spirit, the Holy Spirit in another man operating the same ministry.

That is why when they told Him: “Don’t the Scriptures say, don’t the scribes say, that Elijah must come first?” Christ tells them: “Elijah truly will come first and restore all things; but I say unto you that Elijah already came, and they knew him not, and did unto him whatsoever they listed.” And then they understood that John the Baptist was the Elijah for that time, forerunning the First Coming of Christ.¹³

And Malachi 4 is sent to forerun the Second Coming of Christ; and that was fulfilled in the Rev. William Branham, where the Holy Spirit came operating the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time.

And that ministry of Elijah that will deal with the Hebrew people shall come manifested by the Holy Spirit for the fifth time, and Elijah will come accompanied by Moses. And we can’t explain too much there so that there aren’t impersonations by fanatics who want to do something believing that they will be doing the right thing, but they will be interrupting God’s Program.

But the time will come when God will open the mystery of the Seventh Seal, and then everyone in the midst of Christianity will know that mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.

It says: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect…”¹⁴ The Angels are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, and the elect are 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.

In other words, those ministries will operate in favor of Israel for the restoration of the tribes of Israel, for their unification, just as that ministry of Elijah the Tishbite worked back then for the restoration of the ten tribes of the North to the faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they had gone astray, and they were worshiping images and they were worshiping Baal and other strange Gods, the groves [Asherah] and other gods.

The showdown at this end time will be on Mount Zion, just as it was on Mount Carmel back then, and just as there was one on Mount Transfiguration, where Moses and Elijah appeared, one on each side, and there we have the order of the Second Coming of Christ.

Because that is what Christ promised His disciples, He told them: “The Son of Man will come with His Angels, and then He shall reward every man, every person, according to his works.” Saint Matthew chapter 16, verses 26 to 28. And then in chapter 17 He takes them to Mount Transfiguration, and there He is transfigured before them and shows them the order of His Second Coming.

It’s important to understand these mysteries of the Kingdom of God, because these are the things that will give the believers in Christ the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

And Rev. William Branham said that the Third Pull will be what will give the believers in Christ the faith for the rapture, and that the faith for the rapture will be given by the Thunders; and the Thunders are the manifestation of the Third Pull, where the Voice of Christ will be speaking to His Church consecutively. Just as He spoke during the seven stages or ages of the Church (but not consecutively), He will speak after the seven ages of the Church, in the Golden Age of the Church; He will speak consecutively, He will speak as Lion, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

And all of this will reach its climax in the fulfillment of the Third Pull, which will be in a Great Tent Cathedral that Rev. William Marrion Branham spoke of, and that he wanted to bring that Vision to fulfillment, but that desire was not granted to him; but he said that it would be as it was shown and as it was spoken.

Therefore, that will happen in the midst of Christianity, in the midst of those who will be in the stage pertaining to the Last Day. It won’t happen in the midst of the time of Saint Paul back in Asia Minor, that time already passed; it won’t happen in the time in which He sent different messengers there in Europe, where there were five messengers in different times, different stages. Why won’t it be at that time? Because that time already passed. It won’t be in the time of the seventh age of the Church, which was fulfilled in North America. Why not? Because that time already passed. Therefore, it won’t be in North America either, nor in Europe, nor in Asia Minor. It will be in the territory where God will be dealing with His Church; and from there the blessing will spread to other nations.

Therefore, we are in the most glorious time of all times, where the Eternal One will have the greatest manifestation that He has ever had in the midst of His Church and in the midst of the Hebrew people.

It will be a full manifestation, of which Rev. William Branham said: “What you’ve seen partially…” In other words, those powerful manifestations of God being spoken—by Rev. William Branham anointed by the Holy Spirit—and things coming into existence, being created by the spoken Word, just as God also spoke for the creation of the universe; he says: “These things you’ve seen manifested partially, will be manifested in all their fullness.”¹⁵

In other words, that was the sample of what God will do at this end time; and that will be in the fulfillment of the Third Pull, which will be in a Great Tent Cathedral.

Therefore, in the midst of Christianity there will be a Great Tent Cathedral; and especially in the midst of the group pertaining to the time of the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone; because in the seventh age, the Pentecostal age, God already did what He was going to do, but from that coming manifestation He will impact the elect who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and He will give them the faith to be transformed and raptured; and that manifestation will work for the foolish virgins too, and it will give them strength to be able to go through that stage of the Great Tribulation and give their lives in the Great Tribulation as martyrs; and it will also work for mankind: mankind will be impacted and shaken by that powerful manifestation of God at the Last Day; and it will also impact the Jews.

Rev. William Branham says: “When they see Christ coming for His Church, they will say: ‘This is the One we are waiting for.’ But He’s not coming for them, He comes for His Church.” (Page 22 of the book of Quotations,¹⁶ and page 23.)

It will be such a great manifestation that has never happened in the history of mankind; but he says: “By that time there will no longer be an opportunity: Christ will have already left the Throne of Intercession and He will have taken the Title Deed, the Seven-Sealed Book from Revelation chapter 5, and He will come to claim everything He has redeemed with His Blood.”

Therefore, all those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will be called and gathered at this end time, and prepared for the transformation.

And once He has made intercession for the very last one who is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, then He will be able to leave the Throne of Intercession to take the Title Deed, the Seven-Sealed Book from Revelation chapter 5, open It in Heaven, and bring It to His Church in Revelation chapter 10; and give It to the one He has to give It to at the Last Day.

Each stage of the Church is always led by the Holy Spirit manifested in a messenger relevant to that time. As simple as that.

Therefore, let’s be prepared because at any moment the very last one who is written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will come in, and Christ will then finish making intercession for the very last one, and He will have already finished His Work of Intercession as High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, that heavenly Order which all the believers in Christ belong to; because Christ has cleansed us from all sin with His Blood, and He has made us unto our God kings and priests; kings and priests of that heavenly Order of Melchizedek.

And Melchizedek is Jesus Christ. He is the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek; and He is also the King, after the Order of Melchizedek; and He is the Judge, whom God has ordained to be Judge of living and dead¹⁷ after the Order of Melchizedek. All the believers in Christ who form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ from age to age belong to that Order; that is why they are kings, priests, and judges.

In Revelation chapter 1; Revelation chapter 5; and Revelation chapter 20, verses 4 to 20; it says that He has cleansed us with His Blood, and He has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign with Him a thousand years; that is just the beginning, a thousand-year reign with Christ.

We are in the most important time of all times, we are in the time where, at any moment, the number of God’s elect will be completed and Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession, take the Title Deed and carry out His Claiming Work, He will claim everything He has redeemed with His precious Blood.

Therefore, it’s important for us to stand firm on the Word of God for the end time, on all the promises pertaining to our time, serving God through Christ, pleasing Him in everything, working in His Work, and believing everything that is promised for this end time.

“THE ETERNAL ONE.”

God in Christ is the Eternal One; that is why Jesus Christ is God manifested in human flesh, Emmanuel: God with us, according to Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14; and also Saint Matthew chapter 3; and Saint Matthew chapter 1. That is why Jesus Christ said: “The Father and I are one.” In other words, God is Father (that is equivalent to the soul), He is Spirit (that is equivalent to the person’s spirit), and He is Son (equivalent to the human being’s physical form).

In terms of God as a physical man, He is Jesus Christ; as a heavenly man, He is the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, the theophanic body, the image of the living God, the Holy Spirit; because a spirit is a spiritual body from another dimension.

That is why when Moses wanted to see God and God passed by, he saw God’s back parts like a man’s back;¹⁸ because the heavenly body, the image of God, is heavenly, it is a body like that of human beings but from another dimension; a heavenly body through which God created all things.

Now we can see who the Eternal One is. He is the same God who was in the prophets, the same God who created all things through the Word, through the heavenly or theophanic body. He is the same God who was in Jesus Christ in all His fullness.

That is why God in the Angel of the Covenant is God; that is why when He appeared to him in the heavenly body, He tells him: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” It was God in His heavenly body. And then when He appeared with His heavenly body in the body of flesh called Jesus, He was still God, He was still the Eternal One, Emmanuel: God with us, the Word made flesh. The Word made flesh is God clothed in a body of flesh called Jesus, and that body is already glorified.

That is why we will also be glorified, we will have glorified, young, and eternal bodies like the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior; that is what His Second Coming is for: for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive. Philippians chapter 3, verses 20 to 21, says:

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”

Why does Christ come in His Second Coming? To transform our bodies. That is the promise: to take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; because we can’t go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with these mortal, temporary bodies, because this is a body that is limited to this earthly dimension.

We need a body like the one of Jesus Christ, with which Christ ascended to Heaven; because where the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the House of our heavenly Father will take place: there are no planes or rockets that can take us there. It will be: by being transformed and taken by the angels to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; because Christ comes with His Angels to take us, to transform us and take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

And we will be with Him for three and a half years; because while the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven is taking place, mankind will be going through the Great Tribulation, where the Earth, planet Earth, will be made ready with those coming judgments, prepared for the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Millennial Kingdom.

There will be an atomic war of Armageddon, called the Armageddon, there will be an atomic war;¹⁹ and that will straighten the planet Earth, the degrees that it is tilted; and in the Millennium the temperature will be better than what we have now; in other words, there will be some very important changes in the planet Earth, because it will be prepared for the Kingdom of the Messiah.

We don’t want to be here during the Great Tribulation, but the promise is that all those whose names are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will be taken with Christ in glorified bodies to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Rev. William Branham said that the chariots of fire that took Elijah, also… chariots of fire, flying saucers, or UFOs, will also take the believers to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.²⁰

So those mysterious, so-called flying saucers, will have an important work to carry out on this Earth.

So something major is on the way. Rev. William Branham says that when we see… when Gabriel or Michael are seen on Earth, something major is about to happen;²¹ like when He appeared to the priest Zacharias, and then He appeared to the virgin Mary, something major was about to happen, and it was the First Coming of Christ and the coming of the forerunner John the Baptist.

And Rev. William Branham says: “Gabriel announced the First Coming of Christ, and He will announce the Second Coming of Christ.”²²

We already saw how He announced It two thousand years ago. Let’s be on the lookout for how He will announce It, how He will announce the Second Coming of Christ. Let’s be prepared because everything will be simple, Rev. William Branham says; it will be God in simplicity.

Therefore, let’s be prepared, conscious that something major is going to happen; and that is what is promised for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and it will shake the whole world.

That is what Rev. William Branham speaks to us about, and he says that when the squeeze comes, a squeeze that will come against the believers in Christ, against the Bride-Church of Christ, then that powerful manifestation of God will come. And he says: “Everything will be parallel in every way to how it was back in the First Coming, and the forerunner of the First Coming,”²³ and all those things. That will be – what happens at this end time will be parallel to what happened there two thousand years ago.

Notice, there was a forerunner for the First Coming of Christ; and a forerunner for the Second Coming of Christ already came: Rev. William Branham in the spirit and power of Elijah in his fourth manifestation. So, something major is about to happen.

In the days of John the Baptist they mocked him, they didn’t believe; a very small group believed. And in the days of Jesus the important leaders didn’t believe, except for two or three; and they thought He was crazy. But He wasn’t crazy. He was in the Word of God, fulfilling everything that the Messiah had been promised to carry out.

That is why He said: “Search the Scriptures, for they are they which testify of Me, and in them you think you have – you have Eternal Life. Search.”²⁴

Therefore, in our time we also need to search what is promised by God, for God to carry out in the midst of His Church; because that is what God will be carrying out.

It won’t be what one person wants or what a group of people want, but rather what God has promised to carry out at this end time. And that is the promised Word of God for the end time. And that will be what God will quicken, what God will bring to life, what God will fulfill, what God will materialize. That will be the Word that shall prosper in everything God sent It for.

That is why that prosperity will be seen in everything God has promised, how it will be getting fulfilled; and people will say: “But how is it happening?” It’s because God is prospering His Word which He has sent for this end time.

Everything is in what God has promised, which is what He will back up at this end time. What the Eternal One will do at this time is promised here.²⁵

And in the Seventh Seal is the mystery of everything He will do at this end time after the seven stages of the Church. When that mystery of the Seventh Seal is opened, then we will see clearly what God will be doing at this end time.

In the meantime, we continue working in the Work of the Lord and searching the Scriptures to see what God says that He will carry out at this end time.

None of us want to go through the Great Tribulation; and I don’t want you to go through the Great Tribulation either.

The Great Tribulation will be more terrible than Ebola; and Ebola is terrible. And we must be careful not only about Ebola, but about any other disease. And always hold on to Christ our Savior, which is God veiled and revealed through Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, according to Hebrews chapter 13, verse 8. “The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

He was Melchizedek, and He is still Melchizedek, and He will continue to be Melchizedek; and He will continue to be the King of Peace, the Prince of Peace of Isaiah chapter 9, verse 1 to 11; and of Isaiah chapter 11, verse 1 and on.

He is the only One who can bring permanent peace for Israel and for all mankind; because He is before Abraham and even before Adam: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

God the Eternal One, veiled in His heavenly body called the Angel of the Covenant, and veiled in His body of flesh called Jesus, which is already glorified; and that is the trajectory for the believers in Christ as well: the glorification, which we are waiting for.

May you all continue having a happy afternoon, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.

I will leave Rev. José Benjamín Pérez with you, and the relevant minister in each country. And we will see each other next Sunday, God willing.

“THE ETERNAL ONE.”
