What There Is Behind the Door

ood morning, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are in different nations. May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let’s read in Revelation chapter 4, verse 1 and on, where it tells us:

“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.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”

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

Our subject is: “WHAT THERE IS BEHIND THE DOOR.”

The Door, Christ says in Saint John chapter 10, verse 7, and chapter 10, verse 9: “I am the Door; by Me if any man enters in, he shall be saved; and he shall go in, and find pasture.”

Christ is the Door to Heaven, Christ is the Door to the Father, who said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no man comes to the Father, but by Me.”¹

When Noah: built the ark, and standing there at the door, preached his last message to them, and then the door was shut by God.² That door represents Christ, and the ark of salvation also represents Christ. Noah was showing the door to enter into the ark and be safe there, to not be destroyed by the judgment of the flood.

Then we also find, in Egypt, Moses commanding each head of a household to take a lamb of the first year on the tenth day of the month of Abib or first month of the religious year of Israel; they should sacrifice it on the fourteenth day between the two evenings (chapter 12 of Exodus, verses 11 and on), and then apply the blood of that paschal lamb on the lintel and posts of their homes, there on the door. And all the family members would be eating the roasted lamb inside the house. That was the place through which – or the door through which they had to enter, through the door that had the token of the blood; and consequently, the destroyer with death for the firstborn would not enter through that door, because they were protected inside that door where the blood of the paschal lamb was.

Since Christ is the Door that has the Blood of the Paschal Lamb, and since Christ is the Door of His Church, and since His Church is His mystical Body of believers…; in other words, it is Christ manifested in His Church. And therefore, by entering through that Door, the person will find himself inside the House of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where Christ, the Passover Lamb is, of whom Paul the Apostle says in First Corinthians chapter 5, verse 7: “For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.”

When John the Baptist saw Jesus, in chapter 1 of Saint John, verses 27 to 36, he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” Therefore, Christ is the Paschal Lamb which has the Blood that has to be manifested, applied; and the Life of the Blood has to be there in that House, and the Life of the Blood is the Holy Spirit. And since Christ is the Lamb with the Blood that has to be applied on the door, and since He is also the Door, notice, Christ was drenched in His own Blood.

And now, every person is called by the Holy Spirit through His Church, by the ministers preaching Christ and showing people the opportunity they have to come and enter through that Door of Salvation, which is Christ.

Inside that Door we will find Christ and His Sacrifice; because the paschal lamb was roasted and brought inside that house of believers. Behind the door was Christ, to be eaten, who on one occasion said: “He who does not eat My flesh, and drink My Blood, has no Life abiding in him.”³ In other words, the person doesn’t have Eternal Life; what he has is a temporary life, and it will end for him at some point; therefore, with that temporary life that he has he won’t be able to live eternally. There is only one way to live eternally, and it is through Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ said: “He that hears My Word, and believes in Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.” He also says: “And he shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to Life.” Let’s separate these two passages. Chapter 5, verse 24, says [John]:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

He was dead to Eternal Life, and now he has passed to Eternal Life: A spiritual resurrection for the person’s soul.

“Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”

Ephesians chapter 5, verse 14.

And now, in chapter 6 of Saint John, verses 38 and on, it says… even starting from verse 37, it says:

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

And now, we have the promise that everyone who believes in Christ receives Eternal Life from Christ our Savior; and those are the sheep that the Father gave Him so that He should seek them and give them Eternal Life.

Saint John chapter 10, verse 7 says:

“Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.”

And verse 9 of this same 10th chapter, says:

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture,” (in other words, he receives the salvation of his soul, Eternal Life).

And now, in the same 10th chapter, verse 27 and on, it says:

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

I and my Father are one.”

Here we can see that the sheep the Father gave Him to seek and give them Eternal Life are all the believers in Christ who have been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world. Those are the souls that are the seed of God, which were in God’s Mind before the foundation of the world; they are genes of the Divine thought. And therefore, those are the people of whom Christ said: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Saint Luke chapter 19, verse 10.)

And it also speaks to us about this in Saint Matthew, when it tells us that the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost; and then, He compares those people to sheep: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

From verse 10 and on of Saint Matthew; Saint Matthew chapter 18, verse 10 and on, to 14, says:

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven,” (the angels of the believers in Christ, which are the heavenly or theophanic bodies).

[Verse 12] “How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”

It is not God’s will that the believers in Christ should perish, which are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; that is why the Gospel of Christ is preached. And in Saint Mark chapter 16, verses 15 to 16, it says:

“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;” (shall be what? Saved. He has received the salvation of his soul).

Therefore, since the human being is a living soul, who also has a spiritual body and a physical body; the person has already secured his soul with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. It doesn’t matter if his physical body dies: he goes to Paradise, where all the believers in Christ of different stages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are.

The most important insurance, and the one that has had the highest price, is the insurance of Eternal Life: and the price was paid by Christ on Calvary’s Cross with His life, by dying on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins.

Now, what there is behind the Door, behind Christ, is salvation and Eternal Life through His Sacrifice, and eating His Word, His Gospel, through the Message relevant to each stage of His Church, which is quickened when Christ gives It to the messenger of each age, and he preaches It; and thus, the Word promised for each age becomes a reality; and that is the Divine Light for that age.

Christ said: “I am the Light of the world; he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life,” (of Eternal Life).⁴ And He also said: “Ye are the light of the world.”⁵

Therefore, Christ through His Church, through the different ministries, reflects Himself and shines in the midst of the human race. That is how the Light, Christ, has been coming in the midst of the human race: through Christ in Holy Spirit in His Church, who said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Saint Matthew chapter 28, verse 20.

And in chapter 18, verse 20 of Saint Matthew, He also says: “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I will be there.” Those are the believers in Christ who gather together, two or three; in other words, a small group or a larger group.

And Christ in Holy Spirit has been in the midst of His Church since the Day of Pentecost until now; and He has been revealing Himself through His Church and speaking to His Church, and saying: “He that has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”⁶

Rev. William Branham tells us the way that Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church reveals Himself and speaks to His Church: He comes to the messenger relevant to each age, He manifests Himself in him, He brings His Word to that messenger; and the Word relevant to that stage of the Church, to that age, is made flesh in that messenger. And Christ is there bringing the Light for that age, through the relevant messenger of each age.

Notice, in the Book An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages, pages 155 and 156, he says:

“‘He that hath an ear, let him (singular) hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.’ Notice here that Jesus (by the Spirit) in EVERY age addresses Himself to ONLY ONE person relative to the Word for that age. Only ONE messenger for each age receives what the Spirit has to say to that age, and that ONE MESSENGER is the messenger to the true church. He speaks for God by revelation to the ‘churches,’ both true and false. The message is then broadcast to all. But though it is broadcast for all who come within range of the message, that message is received individually by only a certain qualified group in a certain way. Each individual of that group is one who has the ability to hear what the Spirit is saying by way of the messenger. Those who hear are not getting their own private revelation, nor is a group getting their collective revelation, BUT EACH PERSON IS HEARING AND RECEIVING WHAT THE MESSENGER HAS ALREADY RECEIVED FROM GOD.”

In other words, Christ through His Spirit comes first and reveals Himself to the messenger; the messenger receives the Message for that age, It becomes flesh in him; and through him, the Holy Spirit speaks to His Church. And those that have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is speaking through the Holy Spirit to His Church, through that messenger. Notice, he says that Paul…:

“Now think it not strange that this is the case, for Paul set this pattern under the hand of God. Paul alone had the full revelation for his day as evidenced by his confrontation of the other apostles who admitted that Paul was the Prophet-Messenger to the Gentiles for that day. And also note by actual illustration in the Word, that when Paul desired to go to Asia, God forbade him, for the sheep (His children) were in Macedonia and they (the Macedonians) would hear what the Spirit had to say through Paul, while the people in Asia would not.

In every age we have exactly the same pattern. That is why the light comes through some God-given messenger in a certain area, and then from that messenger there spreads the light through the ministry of others who have been faithfully taught. But of course all those who go out don’t always learn how necessary it is to speak ONLY what the messenger has spoken. (Remember, Paul warned the people to say only what he said, I Corinthians 14:37, ‘If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD.’ ‘What? Came the Word of God out from you? Or came it unto you only?’) They add here, or take away there, and soon the message is no longer pure, and the revival dies down.”

The way to preserve the revival, the spiritual awakening for each time, is by taking the Message that God brings through the messenger, without adding to It or taking away from It; so that the revival doesn’t die in the Church, and so that it doesn’t die in the soul, in the heart of the person.

“How careful we must be to hear ONE voice, for the Spirit has but one voice which is the voice of God. Paul warned them to say what he said, even as Peter did likewise. He warned them that EVEN HE (PAUL) could not change one word of what he had given by revelation. Oh, how important it is to hear the voice of God by way of His messengers, and then say what has been given them to say to the churches.”

Notice the way to hear the Voice of God at the time in which the person is living, the Voice of God by the Holy Spirit through the messenger of each age. Each group of each age is to hear the Voice of God speaking through the messenger of their age.

And on page 209 it tells us [The Ages]:

“Now since each of these messages is directed to the ‘angel’ — (human messenger) a very great responsibility as well as a wonderful privilege is his lot. To these men God makes special promises, as in the case of the twelve apostles sitting on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Then, remember Paul was given a special promise: that of presenting the people of the bride in his day to Jesus…”

In other words, it pertains to the messenger of each age to present the group of that age to the Lord.

And on page 241 of the same Book of The Seven Ages, it says:

“According to Revelation 22:16, and II Peter 1:19, Jesus is the Morning Star.”

Let’s read a little bit before that, it says:

“‘And I will give him the morning star.’ According to Revelation 22:16, and II Peter 1:19, Jesus is the Morning Star. ‘I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.’ ‘Until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.’ The Spirit is, therefore, making a promise to the elect of the Dark Ages relative to Himself and then in the ages to come.

As we have already stated, Jesus identifies Himself with the messengers of each age. They receive from Him the revelation on the Word for each period. This Word revelation brings the elect of God out of the world and into full union with Jesus Christ.”

Now, notice how the Message pertaining to each age, given by the Holy Spirit through the messenger of each age, brings out of the world (in other words, It calls them and gathers them), “It brings the elect of God out of the world and into full union with Jesus Christ,” It puts them in the mystical Body of Christ, where Christ is in Holy Spirit.

“These messengers are called stars because they shine with a borrowed or reflected light of the Son, even Jesus. They are also called stars because they are ‘holders of light’ at night. Thus in the darkness of sin, they bring the light of God to His people.”

And on page 241 to 242, it says:

“If ever a people needed a promise embracing the land where there is no night, it was the people of the Dark Ages. And that is why the Spirit is promising them the morning star. He is telling them that the Chief Star, even Jesus, Who dwelleth in Light unto which no man can approach, will in the future kingdom illuminate them by His own personal presence. He will not be using the stars (messengers)…”

In other words, He will no longer be using the seven angel-messengers of the seven ages to manifest Himself, to reveal Himself, to the believers in Him, who will be in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.

“He will not be using the stars (messengers) to give light in darkness any longer. It will be Jesus, Himself, speaking to them face to face as He shares His kingdom with them. (He) is the morning star that is visible when the light of the sun commences to shine. When our Sun, (Jesus) comes, there will be no further need of messengers,” meaning, the seven messengers will have already finished their work; “He will bring us His message of cheer Himself; and as He rules His kingdom, and we live in His presence, the light of the Word will become brighter and brighter in our perfect day.”

And the perfect Day was not the first day of the first age of the Church among the Gentiles, nor the second, nor the third, nor the fourth, nor the fifth, nor the sixth, nor the seventh; It is the Day of the Coming of the Lord, the Eighth or Eternal Day, the Day of the Golden Age of the Church, the Day of the Age of the Cornerstone; because the Church must be crowned with that age where Christ will be speaking to His Church and giving Her His relevant revelation, the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation that will give us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

“What else could we desire above Jesus Himself? Is He not everything, even Perfect Everything?

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Amen. Even so, Lord God, by Thy Spirit, let us hear Thy truth.”

In our time, after the seven Church ages, is when these things must take place. Just as it happened in each stage of the Church, it must happen in our time, to receive the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

And what will give us the faith for the rapture? Rev. William Branham in the message or Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, on page 148, it says:

“[258] Oh, my! Seven Thunders of Revelation! May He show the Bride how to prepare for the great translation faith!”

In other words, the Seven Thunders will carry out that work of giving us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And the Seven Thunders are the Voice of Christ coming down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand, to give It, to hand It, to His Church, through the Holy Spirit in the person of the messenger that He has for that time.

It is very important to understand all these things because obtaining the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is dependent upon the Seven Thunders.

It is important to know these things to be aware of what we are waiting for according to how it is promised.

God only has one way to make these things known to us, and it is through His Spirit; that is how He will make known to us what the Seven Thunders spoke. It is the Voice of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, when the time of intercession in Heaven ends, where He comes out and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, and Judge of all the Earth (in Revelation chapter 5); and He takes the Book out of the right hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne, and opens It in Heaven; and then He brings It open to Earth to give It to His Church; His Church represented in John the Apostle.

Let’s see what Rev. William Branham tells us about the Voice that John heard when he was told: “Come up hither.” On page 48, paragraph 417, of the Book of Quotations, says [60-1231 – “Revelation, Chapter Four #1,” pp. 25-26]:

417 – “148 The same Voice that summoned John, ‘Come up,’ the same Voice that said to John, ‘Come up,’ is the same Voice that’ll summons the Church someday (Amen!),” (It will summon Her to what? To come up), “summons the Church.

149 Also, the same Voice that summoned John to come up, is the same Voice that summonsed dead Lazarus out of the grave,” (when He told him: “Lazarus, come forth!”)⁷, “that same Voice of the archangel. Christ is the Voice of the archangel, ‘Voice of the archangel,’ see. Oh, that trumpet Voice of Christ summonsed John to come up, the same Voice summoned Lazarus. Did you notice at the grave of Lazarus, He spoke with a loud Voice. (…)

151 That same Voice said to John, ‘Come up here, I’ll show you some things that’s fixing to happen.’

152 That same Voice that shall sound when the dead in Christ shall rise, ‘For the trumpet…’ The trumpet! What is a trumpet? The Voice of Christ, the same One (…) said, ‘Come up hither!’”

In other words, the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet mentioned in 1 Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58; and in First Thessalonians chapter 4, verses 11 to *18; and in Philippians chapter 3, verses 20 to 21; It is the Voice of Christ summoning His Church.

Christ in Holy Spirit, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven with the little Book opened in His Hand, gives the revelation to His Church through the Holy Spirit in the instrument He will have at the Last Day. And in the spiritual realm His Church will be called to go up higher than the seventh age of the Church, that is, to the Age of the Cornerstone, which would be the eighth stage, and eight represents (beginning again)… and eight represents eternity.

It is an eternal stage or age where at some point they will receive all the revelation of the Seventh Seal, all the revelation contained in the Seven Thunders. And the Seven Thunders are the ones that contain the mystery of the Seventh Seal, of the Second Coming of Christ, to be revealed to His Church; and thus, give Her the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Therefore, they are called to come up to that eternal stage or age of the Church, the Age of Cornerstone, the Age for Adoption; and there, they will receive all the faith that is required to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will be through the revelation of the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.

That’s what is contained in the Seven Thunders of Revelation chapter 10, of the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven with the little Book opened in His hand and His face as the Sun, crying out as when a lion roars, and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices.

Notice that the Thunders utter their Voices, where? Not in Heaven, but on Earth. On Earth is where those Thunders utter their Voices with God’s Final Message for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for those who are going to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

That is why the believers won’t have to worry if others don’t believe; because it is for those who are going to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Remember that not everyone believed in the days of Joseph either, nor in the days of Noah, nor in the days of Moses, nor in the days of the prophets, nor in the days of Jesus and John the Baptist. They didn’t believe John, nor did they believe Jesus. The people, the organized religion of that time, didn’t believe.

Therefore, none of the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ should have been discouraged because the religion of their time hadn’t believed; what mattered is that they believed: the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, the ones who were ordained to Eternal Life.

Remember, in Saint John and in Saint Matthew chapter 11, verses 21 to 27, it tells us that Jesus on that occasion was moved in the Spirit, and notice what He said… Chapter 11, verse 25 and on, of Saint Matthew, says:

“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him,” (in other words, the revelation, as we can see, is obtained by those for whom it is ordained).

In Saint Matthew chapter 13, verses 10 and on, it says… This was after the parable of the sower:

“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”

To some it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven, and to others it is not given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.

“For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”

And below, in verse 16 of this 13th chapter, it says:

“But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”

The blessing is for those who hear the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Word of God being revealed for the time in which the person is living.

“For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”

What the prophets desired to see and hear: they desired to see the fulfillment of the promise of the Coming of the Messiah; and to hear: to hear the Messiah preaching and showing them that all those things that were promised were being fulfilled through Him, which is why He was identified as the promised Messiah.

And now, in the parable of the sower there are four types of ground: by the wayside, upon stony places, the other among thorns, and the other on good ground. And we all want to be the good ground.

[Matthew 13:22] “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful,” (in other words, it doesn’t bear the fruit that it should bear in the person at that time).

“But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

The good ground is he who hears and understands the Word, and bears fruit. He may bear fruit a hundredfold, or sixtyfold, or thirtyfold; but he bears fruit. He who bears fruit thirtyfold should make the effort to reach sixty or to reach a hundred, a hundredfold.

And now, page 105… Remember that those who are going to resurrect as part of the Bride-Church, pertaining to each age, are the ones who received the relevant Message for each age, which Christ was giving in Holy Spirit through the messenger of each age. [Quotations] [63-0714M – “Why Cry? Speak!” p. 12]:

910 – “[70] I think, many times, if someone could just bounce into It at once, and wouldn’t understand It, or would understand It, rather, and come into It at once, it would almost send you to Eternity, just with such a rapturing thing! And never knowed it, and just, oh, break through the things that we have seen and know and understand.”

The transformation or rejuvenation of Abraham and Sarah revolved around the Word that God had promised Abraham. And speaking of Sarah and Abraham, it says: [Quotations, p. 281] [64-0830M – “Questions And Answers #3,” p. 49]:

1235 – “[249] The translation of the Bride will be the same thing. The Word that’s in you, the body will materialize around that Word, and the same thing did by Sarah.”

See? Those who have the Word pertaining to their age, in the time in which they lived, and already departed: will be resurrected: they have the Word of their age; and we who are alive will have the Word of our time, and around that Word we will be changed. And we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. That is the way that is established in the Word of the Lord; and we are not going to add nor take away from what is promised.

And now, what can a person do to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? First of all, he—each person who will be changed or resurrected (if he dies)—is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world. That is why the Scripture says: “The Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world.” That is there around chapter 13 and chapter 17 of Revelation. Chapter 13, verse 8, says they will worship the beast…:

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

There we can see that those who aren’t written in the Lamb’s Book of Life—which was slain from the foundation of the world—are the ones who will worship the beast.

[Revelation] chapter 17, verse 8, says… verse 7 and on, says:

“And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom,” (and it starts to give more details)…

Now notice that there are names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world; and those are the believers in Christ who—in the time in which they are given to live—hear the Voice of Christ through His Holy Spirit speaking through the messenger pertaining to each age, to whom the Holy Spirit comes and brings His revelation, His revealed Word, to him, and speaks through him. And that is the Voice of the Holy Spirit in each age. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” That is Christ in Holy Spirit speaking through the messenger pertaining to each age.

For our time, the same Voice that John heard and that told him: “Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter.” What is behind the door? The things which must happen after the seven stages of the Church; the things which must happen, and which must also be revealed to the believers in Christ.

[Revelation 4:1] “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…”

See? A voice as it were of a trumpet is the Voice of Christ; the Voice of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Archangel.

“… 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 which happen after the things that already happened in the seven ages of the Church will be revealed to the Church of the Lord; which is represented in John the Apostle going up higher. Remember that we are sitting with Christ Jesus in heavenly places.⁸

And now, the Church at the end time will receive the revelation of the things that must happen after the things that have already happened during the seven ages of the Church. And the question that some people may have had is: “After the seventh age, now what?” After the seventh age come the things that will happen after the seventh age, which will be made known, revealed, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit through the instrument He will have in His Church for the end time. And that is when the Church will have the Voice of Christ speaking to Her all these things which must shortly come to pass.

Notice, Revelation chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, 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:”

In other words, the things which must shortly come to pass, He revealed them to John through His Angel.

And in Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, it says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets,” (the God of whom? Of the spirits of the prophets, of the theophanic bodies, of the heavenly bodies of the prophets), “sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

The things which must shortly be done, the Scripture says here that Christ makes them known by sending His Angel, to testify all these things which must shortly be done. It also says, in [Revelation] chapter 22, verse 16 and 17:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

What the Holy Spirit says to His Church, here in Revelation, the Church repeats it. In other words, the Message that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be taking is the Message that the Holy Spirit will be giving through the instrument He will have for that time. As simple as that.

The Spirit and the Bride say the same thing, They say: “Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely,” (the Water of Eternal Life).

Christ said on one occasion: “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. And He spoke this of the Holy Spirit, which they that believe in Him should receive.” Saint John chapter 27, verses 37 to 39.

That is the same thing He spoke to the Samaritan woman about in chapter 4, verse 10 and verse 14, where He told her that He would give her Water springing up into Everlasting Life; and He is speaking of the Holy Spirit as the Water that springs up into Everlasting Life.

And now, seeing all these things, and that just like Abraham and Sarah were rejuvenated to be able to have the promised son…; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is rejuvenated at this end time. She is represented in some young women who pass before Rev. William Branham in a vision, and they pass by first; and then other women pass by, who correspond to the different stages of the Church, but who had already lost their first love; and then, when Rev. William Branham is weeping, he is told: “There comes the Bride. There comes the Bride again.”⁹ When he looks, he sees a group of young women passing by; very diligent young ladies, dressed correctly, styled correctly, and walking to the sound of the Gospel, marching to the sound of the Gospel.

This reminds us of the hymn: “The march is on, the march goes on, oh Christian soldiers!” It is the march of the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ represented in young women; because it will be in a stage of rejuvenation of the Church as a mystical Body of Christ, and where those who have died will be raised in that age, in that stage, for they were not raised in their own stage; therefore, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age, is where they will be raised in eternal bodies; and we who are alive are going to be changed.

Rev. William Branham says they are hearing from where they are; therefore, they are very eager to come to Earth, not to eat (as they said, that they will eat then),¹⁰ but to have the new, immortal, incorruptible, and glorified body; and we are also eager for them to return, because when we see them we will be changed.

All of that will take place at a time in which the vision that Rev. William Branham said was not fulfilled yet,¹¹ will be in fulfillment; where the Third Pull will be in fulfillment: a mighty manifestation of the Spirit of Christ among His Church. And that manifestation will be in a Great Tent Cathedral, as he mentioned.

And we cannot speak too much about that, but in the midst of the Church and the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, She will be working on that prophetic project; because the Church is to work on the things that must be done on this Earth, and to work anointed by the Holy Spirit; to work with the Holy Spirit in the Divine Program pertaining to this end time.

Saint Paul didn’t get to work to carry out with his group the construction of the Great Tent Cathedral, although he built tents. Remember that every Jew must have, apart from his profession, a trade; and Saint Paul’s trade was being a tentmaker, and he worked to provide for his financial needs.

And it wasn’t in the time of the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or the seventh messenger. The seventh messenger, who had that vision, tried to make it a reality; but it was not for his time. It is for our time.

There is a great mystery there, because that is where the Pillar of Fire moves and manifests Itself: in a Great Tent Cathedral, in a little wooden room, about 12 feet wide, by about 20 feet long.¹² That’s more or less the measurement he gave for that little room; and compared to a big building, it looks even smaller.

There, Christ will be speaking to His Church, and also to the whole world; because the Third Pull will be for the Bride-Church, for the foolish virgins and also for the world. In other words, He will have a message for the Church, a message for the foolish virgins, and a message for the world. And when it is being completely fulfilled, we will be hearing It; the foolish virgins will also be hearing It, and so will the world; but we will leave that alone. Let’s pray so that soon this Divine promise becomes a reality.

Those who will be working in that project will be blessed; because that project pertains to the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Last Day, which will be in the stage of adoption, the stage of the Cornerstone Age. It doesn’t pertain to others from other past ages because their time already ended, and it wasn’t fulfilled in the time of the seven Church ages.

The promises are for those who fulfill them; and therefore, the promises are for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the Last Day, for the end time. So, we will be working on all of God’s promises relevant to the present time, so that He uses us greatly in His Work, and we can be partakers of the work that must be done for the fulfillment of each Divine promise for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; in evangelism as well as in the other physical or spiritual work, to conquer the Divine promises by faith.

Who will be working on those Divine projects? Well, the elect of God who will be in the golden stage of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone. Those who are not in that stage, will not be working, because it is not for past stages. It’s for those who move forward in the Divine Program and go up higher: to the age or stage of adoption, the stage of the Cornerstone Age.

There are many and great promises for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ pertaining to this end time. For which, let’s work on all the promises, because the promises of the Lord are mine, and who else’s? They belong to each one of you too. Those great blessings are for us.

In the Program of Adoption, in the Program of Redemption, He has already given us the heavenly body by bringing forth the new birth in each believer, and He has given us the spiritual Wedding garment; and now we need the physical garment, which will be the eternal body, the glorified body.

On page 69 of the Book of Quotations, paragraph 597, it says [62-0513M – “The Way Of A True Prophet Of God,” p. 9-10]:

597 – “61 And as Elijah went down to Jordan one day, and struck it,” (with Elisha there, when they went together), “with Elisha, and it parted back, and he crossed over,” (and Elisha); “He come back with a double portion.”

That is what Elisha asked for: a double portion.¹³ And now let’s see this double portion, it says:

“597 – 62 And when we strike Jordan, with Christ,” (remember that Jordan represents death), “we got one portion, but when we return, we’re coming with two portions. We got Eternal Life, resurrection from sin, now, in righteousness with the Holy Ghost. And then on the return, with Christ, we come back with both,” (meaning, both portions), “physical resurrection, and we already got spiritual resurrection. We have a double portion of it.”

Spiritual resurrection: we rise from death to Eternal Life, and we are in the Kingdom of God; and those who died will rise physically as well, to physical Eternal Life; and we who are alive will be changed, and we will have physical Eternal Life too. Both portions: spiritual Eternal Life with a spiritual, heavenly, theophanic body, and physical Eternal Life with a glorified physical body. That is a promise for me, and for who else? For each one of you too.

Therefore, we have been seeing WHAT THERE IS BEHIND THE DOOR, just like what is behind the door of the earthly most holy place, the curtain (which is the door of the most holy place): what is there is the Presence of God between the two cherubims of gold which are on the mercy seat; and the mercy seat is the cover of the ark of the covenant.

And after the Holy Place of the Church, which pertains to the seven stages of the Church, then comes the curtain, the veil, which is between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. And behind it, what is there is God’s Presence in the stage of the Most Holy Place, the golden stage of the Church, the stage of the Cornerstone Age; where the Lord’s Presence will be, where the Second Coming of Christ will become a reality. And what was seen on Mount Transfiguration will be fulfilled: Jesus, Moses and Elijah (one on each side).¹⁴ Like the Presence of God on the ark of the covenant: one cherubim on one side and another cherubim on the other side;¹⁵ and in addition to that, two giant cherubims of olive wood, covered with gold.¹⁶

There we have a double representation of what will be taking place in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ goes on to that Most Holy Place at this Last Day by going up to the Age of the Cornerstone, so that the Most Holy Place may be formed by all the believers in Christ of the Last Day.

The seven ages pertain to the Holy Place, and the Age of the Cornerstone is the Most Holy Place of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ passes from the Holy Place to the Most Holy Place to fulfill the promises that pertain to the Most Holy Place of the Church, to the place of the Age of the Cornerstone. As simple as that. Where we will be seeing Christ as we saw Him manifested in each Church age: through His Spirit in each messenger, speaking to His Church. That is how He will be speaking to all of us at the Last Day, from the Most Holy Place, which is the Age of the Cornerstone of the spiritual Body or spiritual Temple of Christ. And we can see what there is behind the Door.

The Door represents Christ. And in Heaven, everything that was seen there, that is what He will fulfill here: in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just as John then sees Him sitting on the Throne; and later on, in chapter 5, he sees Him with the little Book in His hand; and he sees the Lamb, Christ, leaving the Intercessory Place; and then the elder says: “Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” In other words, He starts there as the Lion of the tribe of Judah taking the Book, opening It in Heaven, and bringing It to His Church in Revelation 10.

All of that is what is behind the Door that John saw in Heaven; which will be manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is what Christ will bring from Heaven to His Church.

And we will be seeing Christ among His Church, in His last manifestation; we will be seeing Him as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords. That is why He comes down in Revelation 10, crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices.

And that open Book is revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Title Deed of the Heavens and Earth, of Eternal Life. In order for the Church to return to physical Eternal Life, She needs the Title Deed; and She will have It at the Last Day.

Therefore, we have seen WHAT THERE IS BEHIND THE DOOR as far as we have been able to see it. And I hope on Earth we can all see what is behind the veil, the Door that there is between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, the veil that there is between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone.

Therefore, we trust that God will help us with everything. Things on Earth are getting worse every day, politically, economically, socially, militarily, and in all fields. And I already want to leave this place, leave Earth, according to what is promised: with the transformation and catching away of the Church, as one of the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, being taken with Christ and all His Church. I want to leave as soon as possible. And who else? Each one of you too.

It’s because it is promised in the Scripture; and if it is a promise, I want that promise to be fulfilled in me and also in each of you, who are present here, and in other countries.

Well, may God bless you and keep you. And continue having a joyful evening, filled with the blessing of Jesus Christ our Savior.

That is also behind the Door: all the blessings of Christ for His believers.

God bless you and keep you all.

“WHAT THERE IS BEHIND THE DOOR.”
