Latin America and the Most Holy Place of God’s Temple

Good evening, Lion cubs and everyone present here in Quito, Ecuador. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of spiritual fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this time in which we are living.

As we can see from the news, the world is troubled, as Christ said it would be at the end time,¹ showing that since we are in the end time, the prophecies relevant to the end time are being fulfilled: the ones pertaining to the world, to the Gentile Kingdom in the different nations, and the ones pertaining to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are also being fulfilled, as well as the blessings that Christ has promised for His Church.

In other words, we have the prophetic picture that shows us what would be happening in the world, in the Gentile Kingdom; and we also have the prophecies that show us the things that would be taking place in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end time.

For Christ said that the Coming of the Son of man would be like in the days of whom? Like in the days of Noah and like in the days of whom? Of Lot²; and those were troubled days, just like these days in which we are living.

But the important thing is not the problems that nations have, but the blessings that God said He would fulfill, He would give to His Church at the end time.

Therefore, when we see the problems in the different nations, we look at the Scripture and say: “That is what Christ said the world would be like at the end time.” But we continue searching the Scriptures and we look at the promises that Christ has made His Church for when the time would be like in the days of Noah and like in the days of Lot.

And is there someone who can say that we aren’t like in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot? There is no one who can deny that truth.

Therefore, the prophecies relevant to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be gradually being fulfilled.

And we find, for example, the prophecy of the Second Coming of Christ and His forerunner preceding Him, preparing the way for Him, we can see that it has been in fulfillment at this Last Day.

We find that since 1933, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant appeared to Rev. William Marrion Branham in that Pillar of Fire while he was baptizing in the Ohio River the people who had converted in the evangelistic activities that he had.

And a Light came down from Heaven: the Pillar of Fire, a Star (like the One that appeared to Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus),³ and descending upon him, said to William Marrion Branham: “As John the Baptist was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, so will you be of the Second Coming of Christ.”⁴

Therefore, since he and his Message are the same, well, his Message is the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, because the Message and the Messenger are the same. So, if the messenger left, his Message remained, therefore the spoken Word that would prepare the people for the Second Coming of Christ remained.

He showed all the details related to the Second Coming of Christ; in plain words, he took the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ from the Old Testament and the New Testament, and he brought them to light with more light, with the Light relevant to the age he was given to live in.

Because, since he was represented in the seventh light of the seventh lamp of the lampstand, since he was that Light through which Christ the Light of the World was shining, he shed more light on those Scriptures that speak about the Second Coming of Christ; so that the people have a more extensive knowledge of what, how, and in whom, when, and where the Second Coming of Christ would be fulfilled; just as God shed more light on the First Coming of Christ through the prophets of the Old Testament.

But the first prophecy of the First Coming of Christ and of the Second Coming of Christ is in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, but we only have the promise in the form of a seed there, speaking to us about the seed of the woman or the woman’s seed, which would be the Messiah, the Christ, who would bruise the devil’s head; and the devil would bruise His heel.

Now, we can see that, further on, God reflected Himself through the different prophets; and in that Divine reflection, He showed the First Coming of Christ and the Second Coming of Christ; because the Coming of Christ has two parts: the First and the Second Coming of Christ.

And He showed both the First and the Second Coming of Christ in different prophets: like in Joseph, like in King David, like in King Solomon, like in Isaac, like in Jacob too, and also in other prophets of God; shedding more light on the Coming of Christ: the First and Second Coming.

Also, through the sacrifices offered since Genesis… because the first sacrifice that was offered here on Earth was the one that was carried out to give Adam and Eve garments;⁵ and Christ in His First Coming is represented there.

Then Adam’s descendants: like Abel, then Seth, and that whole line of descendants of Adam, continued offering God sacrifices for sin; then Abraham, then Moses too; then Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the patriarchs, the seed of the patriarchs, Moses and all the Hebrew people.

And that is why among the Hebrew people, the sacrifices have been offered during the Dispensation of Law, which are a type and figure of Christ, who would die on Calvary’s Cross as our Sacrifice for sin.

In those sacrifices that the Hebrew people offered, God was shedding more light on the Redeeming Work that the Messiah would carry out in His First Coming.

Then we find that through the Prophet Isaiah, God said that the virgin would conceive, and bear a Son.⁶

And now, the promise of the woman’s Seed, meaning, the woman’s Son, now it is known with more light that it will be through a virgin woman, a young virgin. And then, through the prophecy of Micah chapter 5, where it says that out of Bethlehem of Judea will come the Governor, the One who will rule the Hebrew people, He must be born there; He must be of the seed of King David.

Now we can see that the woman’s Seed would come through the Hebrew people and would come through a young virgin from among the Hebrew people and be born in Bethlehem of Judea; but none of that was open to people who lived before Moses.

And we even find that in the time of Moses no one knew He would be from Bethlehem of Judea, but they did know that He would be from Judea. Why? Because in the blessing that Jacob cast upon his children, he spoke to Judah about Shiloh, and he is already pointing to the tribe of Judah.⁷

But later on, it specifies more and speaks about Bethlehem of Judea through the Prophet Micah; and also through the Prophet Isaiah, because it says that from Jesse, God will raise up a branch, an offspring⁸: that is a son, in other words, a descendant.

An offspring, a descendant, He would be like a great-gran… no, much further. Jesse: David was his son, Solomon was his grandson, and we go down the line to Christ; and we have to go through about fourteen generations, or so? Fourteen generations; and after fourteen generations, Christ appears as a descendant of King David, and therefore, an offspring of Jesse.

And now, notice how as ages and dispensation go by, God sheds more light.

Now, the prophet through which God spoke, and the family through… and the family of that prophet can’t say: “This other man who comes to speak about the Coming of the Messiah can’t use this, what God spoke through my grandfather.”

What do you mean he can’t use that? If he was a prophet, then the next prophet has to use that in order to speak about the Coming of the Lord; otherwise, the one who spoke about the Coming of the Lord first would not be a prophet; because God sheds more and more light.

And when a prophet comes, he has to take everything that was spoken from Genesis to that present time; and then, through that last one who comes, God sheds more light; and he gathers everything that was said by that one, and that one, and that one, and shows a clear picture of what was promised for that time.

Now, when that prophet does that, he is not stealing the revelation from the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth one; instead, that is a vindication that what those others said was true. Because when the last one comes and uses what was said, that previous prophet is honored and the ones before him are also honored as true prophets of God; because the one who comes at the end gatherers everything that was previously said and shows a clear picture, and shows the fulfillment of everything that was said by the previous prophets.

As Jesus said and as the apostles later said. Jesus would say: “This is what was said by the prophet so-and-so and the prophet so-and-so.” And when He took the prophecy of Isaiah chapter 61, and read it, He said: “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears.”⁹ See?

No one could say: “He can’t use that prophecy of my grandfather, or my great-grandfather, because He is stealing the revelation that God gave through my grandfather;” what He was doing was actually vindicating that that revelation was correct, He was confirming that that revelation was correct.

If Christ ignored the prophecies that spoke about Him, about His First Coming, then He was ignoring the prophet through whom Christ in Holy Spirit had spoken those things. But God doesn’t ignore what He has spoken through His prophets, rather, He confirms it as the truth that was given at that time, with the Light pertaining to that time.

But when the Light comes in all Its fullness, everything is enlightened, and all the prophecies are gathered; and they all coincide with what was said by the first, what was said by the second, the third, and the fourth; and the last messenger gathers them all, to show the picture of what God is fulling at that time.

That is how it is in terms of the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ, just as it was in terms of the prophecies of the First Coming of Christ; and that is how it is in terms of any other subject in the Scripture.

That is how it is in terms of any doctrine in the Scripture that the prophets of the Old Testament spoke about: the things they said cannot be ignored; and the things said by the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ and by Jesus Christ cannot be ignored either; that cannot be ignored; nor what was said or what Christ said through His apostles and through the seven angel-messengers.

If a revelation comes, it must be according to what was already spoken through the men that God used in the past. It cannot be a contrary revelation; otherwise, it is not a revelation from God.

Because God’s revelation unfolds progressively, until in the end we reach the time for its fulfillment; and the Light comes in Its fullness, where the mystery of that promise is opened, and that mystery and its fulfillment are also made known.

And then people say: “Now I can really understand it.” Well, of course! You couldn’t understand it before because that mystery which had been promised, prophesied to God’s people, was not open.

But when the last messenger comes with the Light of God in all fullness: every Scripture that had not been opened in the past must be opened; and every prophecy, every Scripture that had not been fulfilled, must be fulfilled. And Christ through the messenger of that time reveals to His people, to His Church, the meaning of that Scripture and its fulfillment; and that is how all the Divine Revelation comes to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this Last Day.

We have had seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church; and when they came to an end, many people thought everything was over. Well, everything was over for each territory where each Gentile Church age was fulfilled; but for the Latin American and Caribbean people, during the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church, the Divine Program for Latin America and the Caribbean had not begun; but when the Divine Program for the seven Gentile Church ages ended, the Divine Program for Latin America and the Caribbean began, to call and gather His elect with a Great Voice of Trumpet, to put them in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

And that is why the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Second Coming of Christ, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom proclaiming the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and as the Sun of Righteousness shining, has emerged (where?) In Latin America and the Caribbean; because that is the territory pertaining to the Divine Program relevant to the Last Day, to the end time, to the Last Day, to the seventh millennium, and to the Age of the Cornerstone. Just like in the temple the place that pertains to the West is the most holy place.

And in the construction of the spiritual temple of Christ, we find that it began in the land of Israel, in the East; it continued to Asia Minor, then to Europe and then to North America; places pertaining to the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which has been built out of human beings, out of believers in Christ, born of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and therefore, born into the mystical Body of Jesus Christ.

And at this Last Day, for Latin America and the Caribbean, the last call of Christ puts us in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ.

Because Christ can’t have a Church that is the Temple of God without it having a Most Holy Place, because it wouldn’t be a Temple for God; because God’s dwelling place in the tabernacle Moses made and in the temple Solomon made was the most holy place, upon the ark of the covenant, between the two cherubims of gold.

Therefore, Jesus Christ can’t have a Church and call It the Church-Temple of God, of the Holy Spirit, without having a Most Holy Place; and without having the present-day fulfillment of the Two Cherubims of Gold in the ministry pertaining to the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

Now, notice where the ministries of Moses and Elijah appear, just as they appeared there in chapter 4 of Zechariah, and in Revelation chapter 11. Where did they appear? Well, they appeared in the Church, they appeared in the Church, on either side of the candlestick or lampstand; the two olive trees appeared, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

And now, we can see where we are in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Where? In the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees and of the Two Candlesticks.

We find that in each age there was a candlestick for each age, a candlestick with a light: a messenger with an age; with the Holy Spirit enlightening through that messenger in each age.

But now, notice, for the Last Day, for the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Age of the Cornerstone, we find that there are two people: a Gentile people, the elect among the Gentiles, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, will be giving the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, giving the Message of the Second Coming of Christ, revealing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah; and there is another people, which are the Hebrew people, where there are one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews who will receive the Word, they will receive Christ revealed at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

There are two peoples there; and this is the only time when there would be two peoples for God to speak to those two peoples: the Gentile people and the Hebrew people; the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews.

And there we can see that the Two Olive Trees and the Two Candlesticks will be there giving the relevant Light to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and then to the Hebrew people, in the Most Holy Place.

Now we can see that in the Most Holy Place, on the Mercy Seat, between the Two Cherubims of Gold, is where the Light of God, the Light of the Shekinah, shines at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.

That is why on Mount Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah also appeared in that place with Christ.

Let’s see in Saint Mark, let’s see what it tells us around here in chapter 9, let’s see what it says here…

Because notice, there in the most holy place, on the ark of the covenant, upon the ark of the covenant, upon the mercy seat, between the two cherubims of gold, was the Shekinah; and the two cherubims of gold were covered with God’s Glory, the Glory of the Shekinah.

Now, in Saint Mark chapter 9 [verse 1], let’s see what it tells us here, it says:

“And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.”

And in Saint Luke, it tells us about the same event in chapter 9; let’s see here… Chapter 9, verse 26 and on, says:

“For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death,” (in other words, they will not see death), “till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

Who appeared in glory,” (how did they appear? in glory), “and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.”

Now we can see that the Coming of the Son of man in His Kingdom, as It was shown on Mount Transfiguration, isn’t for us to stay here like Peter and the disciples wanted to do: “It is good for us to stay here.” No.

The Coming of the Son of man with His Angels is to call, bring together, and gather God’s elect, and put them in the mystical Body of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone, and give them the faith, the revelation, of the Second Coming of Christ, to be raptured at this Last Day.

The Second Coming of Christ with His Angels at this end time is to be changed and raptured.

So, no one say: “It is good for us to stay here on Earth, because we can do many things here on Earth.” No. It’s to call and gather God’s elect with that Great Voice of Trumpet, and thus, to be prepared for our transformation, and for the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

How many of you would like to stay here? No one! Me either.

So, notice, Peter didn’t know what he was saying; but now we do know what we are saying.

The Second Coming of Christ with His Angels is to give us the faith to be changed and raptured; in other words, to give us the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels; so that we may all have that faith for the rapture, for the transformation and rapture, at this Last Day.

That is why we are here living in Latin America and the Caribbean: to receive the fulfillment of the greatest mystery of all God’s mysteries. To receive the fulfillment of the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, with the Great Voice of Trumpet, calling and gathering all His elect at this Last Day.

And the good news for all the Latin American and Caribbean people is that the majority of God’s elect of the Last Day, who are called or who will be called and gathered and changed, the majority are Latin American and Caribbean people; and we have said that they are ninety percent or more of those who will be changed and raptured. Because Latin America and the Caribbean is where the construction of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ is fulfilled.

So, we can see the great blessing that God has for Latin America and the Caribbean at this end time.

It doesn’t matter what problems Latin America and the Caribbean has, that has nothing to do with it. What matters is what God has promised for Latin America and the Caribbean in His Program.

And when we see the problems there are in Latin America and the Caribbean, what we can say is that our trust can’t be put in earthly things, and our faith can’t be put in men but in God and His Word. And we can’t expect good things from the Gentile Kingdom but from the Kingdom of God. And we can’t have our hearts rooted in earthly things, and earthly goods, but in the things from Above.

He said: “When you see these things come to pass, lift up your heads to Heaven, for your redemption,” (that is, your transformation), “draws nigh.” It is near: at any moment the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive will be changed.

When the last elect is gathered, is put in the mystical Body of Christ, then the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive will be changed.

That is why we are still working in all of Latin America and the Caribbean, taking the Message, so that God works and brings the very last one in. And before the last one comes, those who are before the last one come. So, we are taking the Message to all the Latin American and Caribbean nations so that the last one and the ones before the last one come. And while the last one comes, well, the ones who are before the last one come.

So, someday the last one will come, and then we who are alive, after the resurrection of the dead in Christ, we will be changed; we will have the new body, just like those who will rise; and then we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. That is why we are living here on Earth in this Latin American and Caribbean territory.

It has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you about the great blessing that God has in Latin America and the Caribbean, even if we have political, economic, social, and different types of problems that we have in Latin America and the Caribbean.

But even though there are problems, we have something, and that is God’s blessing; God’s blessing being poured out upon Latin America and the Caribbean, for the construction of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

“LATIN AMERICA AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE OF GOD’S TEMPLE.” 

May God bless you, may God keep you.

And we will see each other again at 5:00, around there; at 5:00, 6:00 in the evening, God willing, because it’s almost 5:00 now. So, you will have a break while the others who aren’t here yet arrive, so that we gather again.

This will be the final service, or the last service of this trip that we will have here in Ecuador. And we expect great blessings for this evening, so that we enjoy the blessings of Christ relevant to this end time.

May God bless you and keep you all.

“LATIN AMERICA AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE OF GOD’S TEMPLE.”
