Good morning, kind friends and brethren present here in the Republic of Chile; it is a great blessing and privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For this occasion, let’s read in Second Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 16 and on, where it says:
“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
“GOD IS AMONG HIS PEOPLE.” That is our subject.
God is among His people, God dwells among His people, God walks among His people.
Now, the Old Testament also speaks to us about this in chapter 26 of Leviticus, verses 11 and on, where it says:
“And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.”
And now, God has said: “And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” This is for the people that was delivered from bondage in Egypt, in that First Exodus.
And now, in the New Testament, for the people that has been delivered from the empire of the wicked one, of the devil, of Pharaoh, who had all the sons and daughters of God captive in his kingdom, now Christ has delivered us, He has brought us out of the kingdom of darkness and placed us in His Kingdom, the Kingdom of Light, where God is among His people.
Now, we find that just as God was among His people Israel, which He had delivered, God is among His people, the heavenly Israel, which is His Church.
Now, let’s take a few moments to look at how God was among His people, let’s see in Biblical history God’s trajectory in the midst of His people.
We find that when the Hebrew people were captive in Egypt for 430 years, God appeared to the prophet Moses (in chapter 3 of Exodus) in a flame of fire that was upon a tree, upon a bush; the tree didn’t burn even though it was on fire with the Pillar of Fire, and Moses realized that it was a vision because the tree, the bush, didn’t consume, it didn’t burn; therefore, he realized that it was a flame of fire or a pillar of fire that was different from natural fire.
He knew that God is light and God is fire, but that fire didn’t burn that tree, so Moses went to see what he had been seeing from afar.
And when he got to the place of the Pillar of Fire: from that light, from that flame of fire, comes the Voice that says: “Moses, Moses.” He says: “Here am I.”
Now, it’s a Voice, and it’s speaking to him from a Pillar of Fire! And the Voice says to him: “Take your shoes, your sandals, off your feet, for the place on which you are standing, the place on which you are stepping, is holy ground.”
Moses did as the Voice told him, but he still didn’t know, or the One speaking to Moses still hadn’t identified Himself.
But now, we find that the One speaking to Moses identifies Himself. Notice, here in chapter 3, verse 6, He says:
“I am the God of thy father…”
In other words, the God of Moses’ father, Moses’ father is Amram, married to Jochebed. And now, He identifies Himself as the God whom Moses’ father served, which is the true God.
“I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
Because the God of Amram (Moses’ father) was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
And now, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is appearing to the son of Amram, because He is the God of Moses too.
And now, Moses already knows that it is God appearing to Moses in the form of a light and speaking to him from that light, from that Pillar of Fire. And notice what happened to Moses:
“And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.”
And now, the Angel of the Lord that appeared to Moses tells him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
And how is it possible that the Angel of the Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? It’s because the Angel of the Lord is God’s heavenly body, and God’s heavenly body is the Lord Jesus Christ in His heavenly body; He is the Word that was with God and was God, through whom God created all things, as it tells us in Saint John, chapter 1, verses 1 to 18. And that Word, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, was made flesh and dwelt among the human race and was known by the name of Jesus, of Jesus Christ.
Now, we find that through the Word that was with God and was God, God created all things.
The Angel of the Lord is the heavenly body of God, He is the Word that was with God and was God, and He is a Man of another dimension: of the sixth dimension; and through that Man of the sixth dimension, called the Angel of the Lord —which is Christ in His heavenly Body— God created all things.
It was through Jesus Christ in His heavenly body that God carried out the creation of the entire universe, of all the visible and invisible things. This is in Colossians, chapter 1, verses 15 and on, where it says:
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by him were all things created…”
Just like a mango or avocado seed has the entire tree that will sprout created in it, all the leaves that this tree will put forth are created in it… not only of one season, but all the leaves that this tree will have throughout its entire lifespan; the branches are there, so are all the avocados that this avocado tree will have (or if it’s a mango tree), all the avocados that this tree will have throughout its existence are there. It’s all in the seed, and especially in the smallest part within the seed, which is the part that has the life.
I don’t know if you have ever found within a seed the tender little part inside; that is the life of that seed, and that contains the entire tree that will sprout from that seed. And do you know what else is there? All the other trees that will come forth from that tree; because that tree will bear fruit, and those seeds (if they are sown) will produce more trees.
Therefore, what is in that tiny little thing inside the seed is unlimited; it can reach an indefinite number; because if you then take the seeds of the tree… the fruit, and you sow the seeds: thousands of trees will sprout; and if you sow all the seeds again, thousands or millions of trees will sprout; and so on and so forth; you can populate the planet Earth and the entire universe. And all of that is contained in a tiny thing that is inside the seed; that contains the tree that will come forth, and the trees that will come forth from that tree, and the trees that will come forth from those other trees, and so on, and all the fruit they will bear.
And Christ, being the Life, everything that God would create was there; the entire universe of God is there, God’s entire Program of Creation is there: in Christ, which is the Seed, the Life: “In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.”[1] That is why it says: “All things were made by Him, and nothing was made… and of that which was made, nothing was made without Him.”[2]
Therefore, everything that God would carry out in His Creation was placed in that Seed; there was the Life. The origin of the life of all Creation is there, that is why He is the beginning of the Creation of God, of both the invisible creation and the visible creation.
And He is the beginning, the first of the New Creation, of the new race with Eternal Life, which is the Church. Where was the Church? In Christ; the Church came from Christ; Just like Eve, where did she come from? From Adam.
And now, we can see this mystery:
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him (and for whom?)… by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled.”
And now we have been reconciled to God through Christ, because God was where? In Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, reconciling every human being unto Himself, reconciling the things that are on Earth and the things that are in Heaven unto Himself.
And now, we can see why all the things that God would do, He has done through Jesus Christ: because Jesus Christ in His heavenly body is the Angel of the Lord, He is the heavenly body of God, where God dwelt, dwells, and will dwell in all His fullness.
That is why when the Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses, God was there in that tree, in that bush; God was there; God was in His Angel, the Angel of the Lord. And that is why when the Angel of the Lord speaks to Moses, He says to him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Who is speaking there? God through His Angel, the Angel of the Lord; God speaking through Christ in His heavenly body.
“God makes His Angels spirits, and His ministers: a flame of fire.”[3] That is why the Angel of the Lord is there in a flame of fire, and God is there; God is the One who was speaking through His Angel, the Angel of the Lord, which is Christ in His heavenly body, who could appear in the form of fire or on some occasions He could appear in the form of a man, but from another dimension.
That is why on other occasions when He appeared to other people in the form of a man, He was called “a man.” He was called “a man” when Jacob wrestled with the Angel, with that Man, and didn’t let Him go until He blessed him.[4]
Abraham had also met Melchizedek,[5] a man, who is High Priest of the Most High God of the heavenly Temple; and He is King of Salem, of the heavenly Jerusalem; and He is also Prince of Peace, and King of Righteousness.
Now, we can see who Abraham met: it was God Himself in His heavenly theophanic body; because Christ in His heavenly body is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple.
And when, by Divine creation, He obtained a physical body in which He dwelt, that was God in His heavenly body inside the body of flesh called Jesus, who died; the body of flesh died; but God’s heavenly body did not die, nor did God die; but the body of flesh did die, in order to carry out our redemption.
By bearing our sins, He died for us, to take away our sins, cleanse us from all sin with His Blood, and then give us Eternal Life that way; and thus, save His people from their sins.
And now, why must Christ save His people from their sins by coming in His First Coming? Because the wages of sin is death.[6] If He takes away the sin, therefore, He takes away the death, which is the wages of sin; and then, if He takes away the sin, then the result of being justified before God, of becoming as if we had never sinned in our lives, the result is Eternal Life.
And now, we find that God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who dwelt in the midst of His people Israel in His heavenly theophanic body, which is Christ: God dwelt in Christ in His heavenly body in all His fullness, and He dwelt in the midst of the Hebrew people. God was in the midst of His people Israel. And through His manifestation in His heavenly body, God was in the midst of the Hebrew people and was manifesting Himself and leading His people.
And in chapter 23 of Exodus, verse 20 and on, it says:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice…”
Now, which Voice will the Hebrew people hear: The Voice of God or the Voice of the Angel? The Voice of God, which will be speaking through the Angel of the Lord; the Voice of God, which will be speaking through His heavenly body; and His heavenly body is Christ in His heavenly body.
Now:
“Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
Where is the Name of God? In His Angel, because the Angel is God’s heavenly body, where God dwells in all His fullness.
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak…”
Now notice, “If thou shalt indeed obey His Voice, and do all that I speak.” If you are hearing the Voice of the Angel, how will you do all that God speaks? Will God be speaking separately? No. It’s because everything God says, He says it through His Angel.
Just like when God created the Heavens and the Earth, God created them through His Angel, which is His heavenly body, which is Christ in His heavenly body; He is the image of the living God, in other words, the heavenly theophanic body of the living God; and by Him, God created all things; by Him, and (for whom?) for Him.
Therefore:
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”
And now, the Angel is the One who will bring the people into the promised land, because the Angel of the Lord is Christ in His heavenly body, in whom God is in all His fullness. And the way that God was among His people Israel was through His Angel; God in His Angel was dwelling in the midst of the Hebrew people.
That is why, let’s see what it also says in Exodus, chapter… let’s see, chapter 33, verse 1 and on; it says:
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.”
And now, who would drive all those nations out of that territory? The Angel of the Lord.
Then, we find that it’s through the Angel, through His Angel, that God was in the midst of the Hebrew people. That is the way God is in the midst of His people Israel throughout the Old Testament.
And the people had to be in the Covenant that God established for them; because whoever was in the midst of the Hebrew people and wasn’t in the Covenant, and wasn’t circumcised, would be cut off from the people.
And every person who, on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, didn’t afflict his soul for having sinned against God, and didn’t repent of his sins: was not forgiven on the day of atonement, when the high priest would go into the most holy place with the atoning blood of the goat, and sprinkle upon the mercy seat with his finger seven times.[7]
When the high priest finished his duties, that day when he… which he finished later in the evening, he would then come out; and all those who had repented of their sins and had asked God for forgiveness, afflicted in their souls for having sinned against God: had obtained the forgiveness of their sins, their sins had been covered by the blood of the sin offering of the goat, and they had been reconciled to God.
Those who didn’t do so, repentant of their sins and seeking God’s forgiveness for having sinned against God, were not reconciled, and thus, they were not covered by the atoning blood; therefore, they would be cut off from the people; they would lose the right to continue living. Therefore, from that day on, at some point those people would [die], because they were not reconciled to God, because they did not take advantage of the day of reconciliation, the day of forgiveness, to be reconciled to God.
Then, now in the New Testament, in order to be reconciled to God, the Blood of Atonement is needed, but it’s no longer the blood of an animal, but of Christ our Savior, because the sacrifice of the goat of the sin offering and its blood represented the Sacrifice of Christ and His Blood shed on Calvary’s Cross.
And now, God dwells in every believer through the baptism of the Holy Spirit; and in His Church as a Mystical Body of believers, given that His Church is the heavenly Israel, God dwells in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit.
And just like in the Old Testament God was in the midst of His people Israel in His Angel, the Angel of the Lord; God was manifesting Himself from stage to stage in the midst of His people, and He was speaking to His people by His Angel, through (whom?) the prophets.
In Zechariah, chapter 7, it speaks to us about the way that God spoke to the Hebrew people. Chapter 7, verse 11 to 12, 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 by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”
And now, God through His Spirit… which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord; because a spirit is a spiritual body of another dimension.
And now, God through the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, was speaking to the people through the prophets; in other words, God in His heavenly body was manifesting Himself in and through the prophets; and those prophets were the temporary veil of flesh in which God manifested Himself; that is how it was with Moses and all the prophets.
And then, when God created a cell of life for Himself in Mary’s womb, which multiplied cell after cell, the creation of the physical body, the body of flesh of God, was carried out there; Emmanuel: God with us[8] in human flesh. “God was manifested in the flesh,” it says in First Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16,
And in Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14, it says… referring to the Messiah, to the Christ; it says:
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
And Emmanuel means: God with us.
And now, the Almighty God who was in the midst of the Hebrew people, manifested in His Angel, using different prophets, now appeared in a physical body created by God; therefore, that is God’s physical body, where God manifested Himself in all His fullness and God also dwelt in a physical form, in the form of a man, in the form of a prophet, in the midst of the Hebrew people; and He walked in the midst of the Hebrew people, and carried out the works that were promised for that time, which the Messiah, the Christ, would carry out. And He fulfilled all those prophecies that spoke about the Messiah and the things that the Messiah would do; that is why He could say: “This day is this Scripture fulfilled before you.”
The Messianic prophecies relevant to the First Coming of Christ were being fulfilled in Jesus Christ our Savior, because that was God among His people: dwelling in the midst of His people, speaking to His people, eating with His people, having fellowship with His people; and then dying for His people, to save His people from their sins, to take away the sins of His people. That is why His Name is Jesus, which in Hebrew is Joshua, which means: ‘Savior,’ ‘Redeemer.’
Savior of what? Savior of His people: saving His people from their sins. Because the wages of sin is death; and if He didn’t take away the sins of His people, then they would be condemned to death, from which they could not be spared.
The only way to be spared from the wages of sin, from death, is through Christ. The only way to be spared is through Christ our Savior, He is the One who delivers us from sin and from death, which is the result of death. But now He has justified us, by cleansing us with His Blood from all sin, and so He has given us salvation and Eternal Life.
And now, we can see which is the result of the Work that Christ has done: He has cleansed us from all sin and He has given us Eternal Life.
God visiting His people, notice everything He did when He came in human flesh. In chapter 7 of Saint Luke, it says… around verse… I’ll tell you the verse here… This was when He resurrected the son of the widow of the city of Nain. Chapter 7, verse 11 and on, says:
“And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow…”
She was a widow, and her only means of support was that son; she was a widow and she only had one son.
“… and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.”
Notice how God visits His people: by His manifestation through His heavenly body, using a body of flesh in the midst of His people.
In the Old Testament, God visited His people from stage to stage, through His manifestation in the Angel of the Lord, which is His heavenly body, using veils of flesh called prophets of God.
God was in those prophets, temporarily visiting His people; and then, when He was made flesh in the person of Jesus, that was God’s greatest visitation, because God visited His people in His own body of flesh that He created for Himself, in order to carry out the Work of Redemption.
In Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, 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 (meaning, by Jesus Christ), whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
Through whom did God make the worlds or the universe? Through Jesus Christ, through the Son of God, which is the Angel of the Lord, who was then made flesh and appeared on Earth as a prophet; Son of Man, which means prophet.
Whenever the Son of Man is spoken of, a prophet must appear on the scene, that manifestation of God must appear in human flesh in a man, in a prophet; it is God being made flesh in a prophet.
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person (for Christ is the image of God, the image of the Divine Person), and upholding all things by the word of his power (who upholds all things by the Word of His power? Christ, which is God through Christ who upholds all of Creation), when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
He sat on the Throne of God.
In Saint Matthew, chapter 26, when Jesus was interrogated by the high priest with the Sanhedrin Council, when they were judging Him, it says… They were accusing Him there and Jesus held His peace: “But Jesus held His peace.” Chapter 26, verse 63 and on:
“But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
What think ye? They answered (meaning, the Sanhedrin Council answered) and said, He is guilty of death.
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?”
Now notice everything the religious leaders themselves did to the Messiah they were waiting for: they rejected their Messiah, they smote Him, they spit on Him, and they asked for His death on the Cross.
Now, we can see that Christ did know that He was going to die, but was going to resurrect and was going to ascend up to Heaven and was going to sit at the right hand of God in Heaven. He knew all of that, for that was prophesied.
That was prophesied? Of course it was.
Let’s see in the book of Acts, chapter 2; verses 32 and on says:
“This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Therefore, God had already said through King David that the Christ, the Messiah, would sit at the right hand of God in Heaven (Psalm 110, verse 1), He would sit at the right hand of God; and He sat at the right hand of God; that is why He said after He resurrected: “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on Earth,”[9] because God has made Him both Lord and Christ, and has seated Him on His heavenly Throne.
It is the first time that a man, but in a glorified body, a man already adopted, has sat on the heavenly Throne of God; and therefore, he has been made both Lord and Christ.
That is why we add to the name Jesus: Lord and Christ; and then it is read all together, and it says: LORD JESUS CHRIST, Lord Jesus Christ. The fullness of the Godhead dwelt, dwells, and will dwell in Him; therefore, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwells in Him.
And now for the second exodus: He has used Jesus; it is a spiritual exodus.
And then for the third exodus, where He delivers us, that third exodus has a few aspects or angles: God delivers us from every human, religious system, and places us in His Kingdom in the stage relevant to this end time; and He will deliver us physically; and upon delivering us He will give us a glorified physical body (that is a physical deliverance), and He will take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father, to that great feast that will last three and a half years; and then we will return with Christ for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
And we will enter into that physical Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ; and that will be us entering the promised land as a physical Kingdom, the physical Kingdom of Christ called the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, where Christ will be King over the Hebrew people and over all the nations.
And now, we can see that all of this, which is relevant to the end time, corresponds to a third exodus that is appointed, so that we can obtain our transformation, and be taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and then to return with Christ for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, which is the promised land as a Kingdom.
Now, all this is done by the same One who carried out the first exodus: through His Angel, the Angel of the Lord, manifested through the prophet Moses. And then the One who carried out the second exodus was the same Angel of the Lord: manifested through Jesus, His veil of flesh, another dispensational prophet.
And for the Last Day, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, is promised to be manifested; the Holy Spirit is promised to be manifested on Earth in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; the same Holy Spirit who has been in the midst of His Church from stage to stage, using different messengers in each stage of the Church of Jesus Christ: using the apostles and then using seven angel-messengers of the seven ages; at the Last Day He will come manifested in human flesh, and He will bring us the blessings of the Last Day.
Reverend William Branham says, referring to this Divine promise that Christ will fulfill at this end time… because, just as He was in the midst of the Hebrew people in Holy Spirit, in His heavenly body, using different prophets, He was then made flesh and manifested through His body of flesh to carry out the Work of Redemption.
Through each prophet, it was a Visitation of God in His heavenly body manifested through the prophets, through whom He spoke to the Hebrew people. God was visiting His people from stage to stage through those prophets. And then He carried out the greatest Visitation: through Jesus, in whom was the Word made flesh.
Now, from stage to stage, in the New Testament, under the New Covenant, and covered by the Blood of the New Covenant, are all the believers in Christ who make up the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where Christ in Holy Spirit has been visiting His Church from stage to stage; Christ has been walking in the midst of His Church.
Christ has never abandoned His Church. Christ, in Holy Spirit, has always been in the midst of His Church, just as God was in the midst of the Hebrew people, and He has had different manifestations in the midst of His Church, just as He had them in the midst of the Hebrew people through different instruments, different prophets; and thus, God has been among His people, both of the Old Testament and of the New Testament.
And at this end time, Christ is still in the midst of His people, in the midst of His Church.
And at this end time, Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in the midst of His Church and will be walking in the midst of His Church, how? Let’s see how it is promised that He will be present; for Christ is and has been in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit, using, manifesting Himself in different messengers that He has sent; that is the way He has been manifesting Himself in His Church as a Mystical Body of believers. And in each individual as a person: Christ in Holy Spirit, by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, in each person.
Now, let’s see the promise that is here for the elect of God of the Last Day. He says: “Glory! Notice…” Page 134 of the book of The Seals, Reverend William Branham says [“The First Seal,” p. 40]:
“302 Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us (here we have the promise that the Holy Spirit will become incarnate at this end time), 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].”
The form of Christ, the Holy Spirit, becoming incarnate in the midst of His Church, will be proclaimed King of kings and Lord of lords.
Now, let’s see page 146 of the book of The Seals; Reverend William Branham says [“The First Seal,” p. 53]:
“402 And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.”
So, there will be two incarnations: the one of the devil in the antichrist, in the man of sin, and that will be the beast; and the incarnation of the Holy Spirit at this end time.
Now, what will it be for? Page 352 of the book of The Seals, Reverend William Branham says in the second-to-last paragraph [“The Sixth Seal,” p. 25]:
“[202] And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the—on the scene, God moves Hisself fully on to redeem it all.”
God will come in His fullness to redeem us, that is, to transform our bodies; because the redemption of the body is our transformation, wherein we will obtain a new glorified body, just like the glorified body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Then, on page 131 of the book of The Seals, Reverend William Branham says [“The First Seal,” p. 37]:
“283 And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.
284 It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding.”
That is what is in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on: the white-horse Rider who comes riding, and with Him comes a mighty Army, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 is Christ.
“[284] Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding…There’s got to be Something to change this Church.”
And what is going to change this Church? The white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, who comes with His Army.
“[284] You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’ Now, notice, ‘No man knowed, but Hisself.’
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God…”
It is the Coming of the Word. And when He came two thousand years ago, He was the Word made flesh, Emmanuel: God with us; God among His people, among the earthly Israel; and at this time it is God among the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“[284] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[Revelation 19:13-16]
285 There comes the Messiah. There He is.”
Now we can see the promise of such a great blessing that is appointed for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where God will be walking in the midst of His people and speaking to us all these things which must shortly come to pass.
On page 277 of the book of The Seals, also, speaking to us of this white horse and of this white-horse Rider, Reverend William Branham tells us, while praying he says [“The Fourth Seal,” p. 47]:
“[391] … may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider (who is the true white-horse Rider? The Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit), while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
And now, here we have the Spirit of Christ to call His own, those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And now, this is the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19. But let’s see more clearly how He will come, how we will see Him coming to His people, how we will see Him in the midst of His people, among His people.
Page 256 of the book of The Seals, Reverend William Branham says; around the middle, about halfway through the book of The Seals, of page 256, Reverend William Branham says [“The Fourth Seal,” p. 25]:
“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…”
What does Emmanuel mean? God with us.
“[196] And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man. See? That’s just how much different there is in them. That’s the difference of them.”
That’s how much of a difference there is between Christ and the antichrist: that Christ will come, the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 will come to His people, and He will be the Word… (His name is: the Word of God), the Word incarnate in a man.
The Word incarnate came, two thousand years ago, in the person of Jesus, who is the Angel of the Lord. The Angel of the Lord was made flesh. The Angel of the Lord, in whom God was in His heavenly body, was made flesh and dwelt in the midst of the Hebrew people, and that was Emmanuel; that was the Coming of the Word made flesh, in a man of that time, born in Bethlehem of Judea; He was the Word made flesh, the Word made flesh in a man named Jesus.
Now, in the New Testament, just as the Lord had an Angel, His Angel, the Angel of the Lord, through whom He was manifested in the midst of His people, and He used different prophets to speak to the people; now in the New Testament, Christ says that He has an Angel, whom He sent to John the apostle in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, where it says:
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”
And now, through His Angel, Christ has been giving John the revelation of the book of Revelation. That is why John wanted to worship the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ: he saw Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in His Angel.
And now, we find that through His Angel Christ would reveal all the things that would come to pass in the Dispensation of Grace and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and then in the book of Revelation He also speaks to us about the things that will happen after the Millennial Kingdom. All those things are here, in the book of Revelation, brought by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, it says:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
The things that will happen after the things that have already happened in the seven stages of the Church throughout these two thousand years that have passed will be revealed to those who go up to where Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, is.
He has always been in the midst of His people, He has been among His people from age to age; He has been in the midst of His Church, which is His heavenly people, from age to age, manifested through each angel-messenger.
And for this end time, just as it was necessary to go up from one age to another… Whenever Christ in Holy Spirit, manifested through His Angel, in each age, used a veil of flesh, a messenger, they had to go up to where that messenger was, which was the age that opened when God sent that messenger.
To hear the Voice of Christ through His Angel, it was necessary to go up to the age where the angel-messenger relevant to that age was; because, through that messenger, Christ in Holy Spirit was speaking to His people, and He was calling and gathering His people in that age; and He was among His people and He walked among His people, and He spoke to His people through the messenger of each age.
After those different Church stages have passed, where they have been going up from one stage to another, now we have reached the time when the ages have already ended; Christ in Holy Spirit is no longer in any of those ages, but rather He has gone up higher: the Holy Spirit has gone up to the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone; and that is where the Holy Spirit comes incarnate, manifested through human flesh, to walk among His people, in the midst of His people, and to make known to us all these things which must shortly be done after the things that have already happened in past ages.
And now, let’s see through whom Christ will be making known all these things which must shortly be done, after the things that have already happened in past ages. Let’s have Jesus Christ say it Himself. Let’s see, Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6; it says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true (meaning, what He says here and what He has been saying throughout the entire book of Revelation is the truth): and the Lord God of the holy prophets…”
The holy prophets are the heavenly theophanic bodies of the prophets; that is the spirit of the prophets, that is a heavenly theophanic body; it is a body similar to our body but of another dimension.
That is the kind of body that all the born-again believers in Christ have; that is the spiritual theophanic body, also called the Angel of the Lord, that encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them.
Christ also said, speaking about these little ones represented in children, He said: “Their angels behold the face of My Father every day.”[10] Those Angels are the heavenly body of every believer.
And now:
“And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
How does He say here that God will show the things which must shortly be done? Well, by sending His Angel to make known all these things which must shortly be done; and that will be God, Christ through His Angel, speaking to His people and walking in the midst of His people, and revealing to His people, His Church, all the things which must shortly be done, after the things that have already happened in past ages.
The same One who revealed the things that will happen or that were going to happen in past ages, is the same One who will be revealing the things that must happen at this end time; it is the Christ Himself in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, because that is the Angel with the revelation of Jesus Christ, to make known the things which must shortly be done.
Then, if you want confirmation from Christ… If Christ were with us in human flesh as He was in that time, you would ask Him: “But Lord, is it true that You would send Your Angel?” Well, let’s see, He already said so here: Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
There it is once again confirmed that He has sent His Angel. This Angel has been in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ the whole time; just as the Angel of the Lord was in the midst of the Old Testament Church, which is the Hebrew people.
The Angel of the Lord was in the midst of the Hebrew people the whole time, and He was manifesting Himself through the prophets, and He was speaking to the Hebrew Church under the Law, which is the Hebrew people.
And now, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ has been in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ the whole time; we see Him back then giving John the revelation of the book of Revelation.
Therefore, this is the Angel who at the end time will be in human flesh in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just like the Angel of the Lord was made flesh and was in human flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people, which is the Old Testament Church.
In that Angel of the Lord was the Name of God; and when He was made flesh, He said: “I have come in My Father’s Name, and you receive Me not,”[11] Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, said.
And now, Christ says in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
In the Old Testament, the Name of God was upon whom? Upon the Angel of the Lord.
And now, in the New Testament, the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be upon whom? Well, upon the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It has to be parallel, there must be a parallel between what Christ does and what God did in the past.
And now, just as the Name of God was in the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of God, who was then made flesh, likewise, the New Name of Christ, the Name of Christ, must be; and… He says:
“… 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.”
It must be in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; because if the Name of God was in the Angel of the Lord, then the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, His New Name, and the Name of our God, and the Name of the City of our God must be in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is where the mystery of the Name that God revealed to Moses will be, when He said to him: “I am that I am. And you shall say to the people: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”[12]
And when we go to the original, “I Am” is four consonants, which are: YHWH. Those four consonants that cannot be pronounced and whose pronunciation is unknown; even if they try to add certain vowels to try to pronounce that Name, but they haven’t been able to figure out the right pronunciation. They call those four consonants the tetragrammaton, because they are four letters, four consonants.
The mystery of that Name, which is the mystery of the Name of God, will be…, Christ will write It upon the Overcomer.
And the Overcomer at the Last Day will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; the mystery of the Name of God, of the Name of the City of our God, and of the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be there, for Christ is the One who says that He will write It upon the Overcomer.
Therefore, there will be a prophet-messenger who will obtain the Great Victory in Love Divine at the Last Day; and so he will be the one who will be adopted, and his group along with him.
For this end time, notice all the things that were written in the Bible and that are now coming to light.
Christ also says in Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17: “To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden Manna.” That is: of the hidden revelation, which is the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ; a revelation which, although the Second Coming of Christ has been prophesied about in past ages, no one knew the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
But at this end time that mystery will be revealed to the people of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, and so, the people will thus be eating of the hidden Manna, of the Divine revelation of the Second Coming of Christ.
And the Overcomer is the first one who receives and eats of that Food, and he shares It with all the people of God, in whose midst Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested through His Angel-Messenger at this end time; as He was manifested through each angel-messenger in each age.
“And I will give him a white Stone, and in the Stone a new Name written, which no man knows saving he that receives It.”[13]
Therefore, there will be no conjectures of scholars in theology who can discover or obtain the knowledge of that Name; It will only be known by the one who receives It. And the one who receives It is the Overcomer, the one whom Christ writes It upon.
The white Stone is Christ in His Second Coming. He is the Cornerstone, He is the Stone that the builders rejected in His First Coming when He became flesh.[14]
He is the Stone cut out without hands seen by King Nebuchadnezzar and the prophet Daniel when he interpreted the dream to King Nebuchadnezzar; the Stone cut out without hands that came and smote the image in the feet of iron and clay;[15] It smote the statue, which is the Gentile kingdom in its final stage, which is the stage of the feet of iron and clay; which is the stage where the antichrist will be the king of that kingdom, where the antichrist will be ruling with the ten kings (which are ten horns).[16]
But the Stone cut out without hands, which is Christ in His Second Coming with a New Name, will smite the image in the feet of iron and clay, and It will break them to pieces; they will be broken to pieces and the wind will take them away, along with the rest of the image; not a trace will remain.
And the Stone that smote the image in the feet of iron and clay will grow, and will become, will form a great Mountain: a great Kingdom; that is the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, which will fill the whole Earth; because the Kingdom of Christ is the one that will rule all the nations, all the human beings who will be living in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
Therefore, the capital of the world will be Jerusalem, that is why you see so many wars, so many problems about wanting to take Jerusalem; some want it, others do too, and others want it to be declared free for everyone. There is a battle.
It’s like it was in Heaven: the devil fought to sit on the Throne of God in Heaven, to become – and to be like the Most High; but that blessing was given to Jesus Christ our Savior; and He obtained it, and He sat on the Throne of God. Therefore, the devil doesn’t have anything left to look for over there, nothing to fight for, because the heavenly Throne is already occupied by Jesus Christ our Savior.
But there is another Throne that the devil is fighting for, to seat the antichrist on that Throne: he is fighting for the Throne of David, which is the Throne of God on this Earth, for the Kingdom of God on this Earth; because the Kingdom of God will come and God’s will shall be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven, in that Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
The Kingdom of which the disciples asked Christ in the book of Acts, chapter 1: “Will You at this time restore again the Kingdom of Israel?” That is the Kingdom of David, which is the Kingdom of the Lord, of God, on Earth, over the Hebrew people. That is the Kingdom for which the Hebrew people are waiting to be restored. And the Throne of that Kingdom is the Throne of David.
And in Saint Luke, chapter 1, we find a prophet from another dimension prophesying something very important here.
I always call the Archangel Gabriel: the prophet of the sixth dimension, the Archangel-prophet.
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.”
And now, who is the heir to the Throne of David? Jesus Christ; He will be the heir to the Throne of David.
Therefore, from that Throne of David in the midst of the Hebrew people, upon the Kingdom of God being restored on Earth to the Hebrew people, from there He will rule over the Hebrew people and also over all the nations.
In Zechariah, chapter 14, verse 9, it says:
“And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.”
Now, even the Name of God will be manifested and will be in that Kingdom; and His Name shall be one, and God shall be one; and He shall be King over all the Earth. Therefore, God will be manifested in that Kingdom, and in the King of that Kingdom, ruling over the Hebrew people and over all the Earth, because the Lord will be King over all the Earth.
Now, the heir to the Throne of David is Christ, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who sat on the Throne of God in Heaven, but that is the Throne of the Father in Heaven; but He has a Throne here on Earth; Christ has a Throne here on Earth, to which He is heir, to reign on the Earth upon that Kingdom, for the establishment of that Kingdom of God on Earth.
And now, that is the Throne He speaks of when, in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 21, He 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.”
See how the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament works parallel to how God worked in the Old Testament? Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, is the heavenly body of God in the Old Testament, whom the Name of God was upon.
Then He was made flesh and said: “I have come in My Father’s Name.”
And He also said, in Saint John, chapter 12, verse 28: “Father, glorify Thy Name.” And God said: “I have both glorified It, and will glorify It again.”
He glorified It in His First Coming, where It was placed in the Angel of the Lord made flesh, and He will glorify It in His Second Coming, where Christ will write upon the Overcomer the Name of our God, the Name of the City of our God, and His New Name.
And now, just as the Father seated His Angel on His heavenly Throne, the Angel of the Lord who manifested Himself in human flesh, carried out the Work of Redemption, died, resurrected, and ascended to Heaven victorious… the Name of God was in Him. The One who had the Name of God was the One who sat on the heavenly Throne.
And now, the one upon whom the Lord Jesus Christ writes the Name of our God, the Name of the City of our God, and His New Name, will be the one who will sit on the Throne with the Lord Jesus Christ. He must be a dispensational prophet, because the One who sat on the Throne of the Father was a dispensational prophet: our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and He was the Angel of the Lord made flesh.
Therefore, the Angel of the Lord made flesh and then glorified in His body, sat on the heavenly Throne of God.
Therefore, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ coming in human flesh in the midst of the people of God, will then be transformed, will be glorified, and will have a new glorified body; and with that new glorified body, he will sit with Christ on His Throne. And it will be the first time that a person with a glorified body sits on the Throne of David. Therefore, he will remain with Christ on His Throne.
Now, we can see that this will be, for the Hebrew people, and for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the entire world during the Millennial Kingdom: God among His people.
And from age to age, Christ has been manifesting Himself in the midst of His people, just as God manifested Himself in the midst of His people in the Old Testament; through His Angel He manifested Himself in the Old Testament, and Christ through His Angel manifests Himself in the New Testament; and He gave John the revelation of the book of Revelation.
And he will be the one who will be adopted while he is alive on Earth; and he will sit with Christ on His Throne. He is the one upon whom Christ writes the Name of our God and the Name of the City of our God and His New Name.
He is the one who will eat of the Tree of Life at the Last Day, not only spiritually, to obtain the heavenly theophanic body, but he will also eat of the Tree of Life at the Last Day to obtain the new and glorified physical body, and to be restored to physical Eternal Life as well.
And the group who will be with him, who comes with him, will also eat of the Tree of Life; and every Christian, every believer of the Last Day, will be transformed; at the Last Day they will come with him in a new age: the Age of the Cornerstone, which is an eternal age, where two dispensations overlap: the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Dispensation of Grace.
So, God bless you.
Pray for me a lot, so that Christ gives me everything I should speak next Sunday and also during these activities throughout the week.
May God bless you and keep you all.
