Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion to share with you a few moments of fellowship around the Divine Program relevant to this end time.
I want to read Matthew, chapter 13, and also Matthew, chapter 11. We are going to read Matthew, chapter 11, verses 25 to 27, where Jesus Christ says as follows:
“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.”
May God bless our hearts with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE REVELATION TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
In order to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven it is necessary to obtain the revelation of Heaven, the revelation of God; and Christ says that God has hidden these things from the wise and knowledgeable, and has revealed them to babes.
Now, it is very important to understand that the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are revealed to God’s elect. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, speaking in Matthew, chapter 13, verses 9 and on, the Scripture says as follows:
“Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
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.”
Here Christ teaches us that to some it is granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to others the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are not made known; and that is why the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are placed in parables.
God, through the prophets of the Old Testament and also through Jesus Christ, spoke about the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, and brought different parables and prophecies that speak about those mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven; which are the things that God will do in His Program, but in these parables these mysteries are hidden from the eyes of the wise and knowledgeable; and these mysteries are revealed to God’s elect in the time relevant to each of those mysteries, where those mysteries are open as to the fulfillment, and open as to what God is doing at that time is made known.
Now, let’s see the mystery of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, appointed as the First Coming of the Messiah.
That mystery, notice, was placed in parables, it was also placed in different prophecies in the Old Testament; but when the time came for the fulfillment of that mystery, we find that along with that mystery there was also the mystery of a prophet forerunner preparing the people for the First Coming of the Lord; and that was John the Baptist.
The coming of the one who would prepare the way for the Lord was a mystery, but it was there in the Scripture. Notice how the prophet Isaiah, in chapter 40 and verse 3 and on, speaks of that man, of that prophet who would come before the Messiah. And the Scripture says: chapter 40, verse 3 and on, it says:
“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”
He goes on to say:
“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”
Now notice how in this way, here God through the prophet Isaiah is presenting the First Coming of the Messiah and the coming of His forerunner; and here it says that the forerunner will be the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
When we speak of one crying in the wilderness or when we speak of a voice crying out, we speak of a prophet that God sends with a Message for the people, to prepare the people. And here is the prophecy of the coming of John the Baptist.
And now let’s see also in Malachi, chapter 3, where it says:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Now, notice, here it also speaks of John the Baptist and Jesus; but when this prophecy was being spoken, nobody knew that the messenger that would be sent to prepare the way of the Lord would be called John the Baptist.
According to the prophecy of Malachi, chapter 4, we find that it says as follows: chapter 4, verse 5, it says:
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
Now, notice how that forerunner was also promised as the prophet Elijah; but you see, when that promise is fulfilled, there was on Earth a man named John the Baptist, and his name was not Elijah; and the Hebrew people were waiting for the prophet Elijah.
The great wise men, religious, theologians of that time, of the Hebrew religion, were waiting for the prophet Elijah, and they knew that the prophet Elijah had left in a chariot of fire (or flying saucer, as we would call it at this time); and they could say: “God says He will send the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, so that man called John the Baptist, notice, even his name is John, he is not Elijah.”
So they couldn’t receive John the Baptist as the Elijah who was to come at that time preparing the way for the Lord; because God hides from the eyes of the wise and understanding the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, and reveals it to children; He reveals it to people who have no theological preparation, they have no theological degrees.
And notice, the disciples of Jesus Christ weren’t theologians, they weren’t doctors of divinity, but they had received the revelation of the heavenly Father; something that had been hidden from the wise and knowledgeable of that time, that is, from the doctors of divinity, of theology, of the Hebrew religion.
And now, what does Jesus Christ say about John the Baptist? In chapter 11 and verses 9 onwards [Matthew], He says:
“But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.”
That was what the prophet Isaiah had said. And now Christ says that John the Baptist is that prophet who would come preparing the way for the Lord.
“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”
And how is it possible for a person of the Kingdom of Heaven, the least, to be greater than John the Baptist? Because those who belong to the Kingdom of Heaven, that is, those who belong to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, are the sons and daughters of God; and John the Baptist and the prophets of the Old Testament and the patriarchs, all of them are the servants of God; therefore, they belong to the people of the servants.
And which is greater: a servant or a child? A child is greater than a servant; therefore, the least of the Kingdom of Heaven, that is, the least of the sons and daughters of God, is greater than John the Baptist, who is a servant of the Hebrew people, John the Baptist.
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force (other versions read: ‘and the mighty took it by force’1). (It says):
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.”
In other words, the Law and the prophets of the Old Testament prophesied until John, because John was the last prophet of the Old Testament.
“And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.”
Jesus teaches that John the Baptist is that promised Elijah, who would come to prepare the way for the Lord.
The Archangel Gabriel also testified of this in Luke, chapter 1 and verses… let’s see… chapter 1 of Luke, verses 11 and on, when the priest Zechariah was offering incense in the temple of God, it says:
“And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
Now, notice how the Archangel Gabriel announces the coming of John the Baptist as the Elijah who is to come. He says that he will come in the spirit and power of Elijah, he will come in the spirit and power of Elijah to convert the hearts of the fathers to the children; in other words, to convert the heart to the faith of the apostles, that is, to convert the heart to the Christian faith; and thus the heart of those people who were under Judaism, under the Law, would be converted to Christianity. And John the Baptist came to prepare the people, so that later the Messiah would come to open a new dispensation.
And now, see how the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are announced and then are fulfilled; and they are fulfilled in a simple way, and these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are hidden from the wise and knowledgeable; and they are revealed to the children, in other words, to simple people, who have no theological preparation; to the people who have no preparation of wise and understanding, but by the revelation of Heaven the divine mystery that is being fulfilled at that time is made known.
And now, the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven that was being fulfilled in the days of John the Baptist and Jesus, was the coming of the prophet Elijah; but notice, when Elijah came, his name was John the Baptist.
It is that when God promises that a prophet will come who already came in the past, and had his ministry and left, when God says that this prophet will come again, what comes is the ministry of that prophet in another man, in another prophet; another prophet comes in the spirit and power of that prophet who came in the past. That is why John the Baptist was the Elijah who was to come at that time, although he was called John the Baptist.
And now, notice how He prepared the way for the Lord and how the Messiah appeared after John the Baptist said that after Him would come One of whom he wasn’t worthy to unloose the latchet of His shoes; and when he saw Him he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”2
John the Baptist said: “I knew Him not, but He that sent me to baptize said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove, that is He”3; in other words, that is the One to whom you are preparing the way, that is the Messiah who is coming after you. And John says: “And I saw Him”; and he gave testimony that Jesus was the Messiah, He was the One of whom John said: “After me comes One, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the latchet of His shoes.”4
There was the fulfillment of that mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven in the midst of the Hebrew people, fulfilled in human flesh; there was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ and there was the foreran, the Lord Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the one anointed with the Spirit of God to fulfill the messianic promises of the First Coming of the Messiah.
Now, notice how those promises were fulfilled in a simple way in a young carpenter from Nazareth.
Now, notice how God hid this mystery, for the prophecy said that from Bethlehem of Judea would come that ruler,5 that prince who would rule the Hebrew people.
And see how God worked so that Mary would go to Bethlehem of Judea to give birth: A census came by edict of the king, and we find that they had to go to Bethlehem of Judea6; because Joseph was a descendant of King David, and Mary was also a descendant of King David, therefore, they had to go to Bethlehem of Judea, because that is where King David was from, and Jesse as well, and they had to go to that census to register there.
And when they arrived there, to Bethlehem of Judea, the time came for her to give birth; and He was born, in Bethlehem of Judea, Jesus.7 The name for that child was already given by the Archangel Gabriel to the virgin Mary8; and see how God worked to fulfill the prophecy.
But then He was sent to Egypt when king Herod was looking for children from two years old and under to kill them, in order to kill the Messiah who had been born,9 and He was two years old or less; therefore, the king tried to kill the child Jesus, the Messiah.
After he was sent to Egypt, when King Herod and all those who sought to kill the child died, the Archangel Gabriel appeared again in a dream to Joseph and told him: “Go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child to kill Him have already died.”10
And notice that Joseph took Mary and the child Jesus, and did not go to Bethlehem of Judea; he went to Nazareth, and there Jesus was raised.11
And now, when the Lord Jesus Christ begins His ministry, apparently He appears as from Nazareth, as a Nazarene; and many people, or most of the people, didn’t know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea; but that prophecy was already fulfilled. And when the gospels are written, we find that there it is made known that the birth of Jesus was in Bethlehem of Judea, and then He was raised in Nazareth.
And now, for the wise and knowledgeable who expected the Coming of the Messiah and expected it to be from Bethlehem of Judea, the mystery of the Coming of the Messiah in Bethlehem of Judea was covered from the eyes of the wise and understanding, and appears to them from Nazareth; the Messiah appears to them from Nazareth, as a young carpenter from Nazareth.
Who would have imagined that the Messiah would be a person raised in Nazareth, a young carpenter from Nazareth? That wasn’t in the theological teachings of the Hebrew people. And that is why when Philip tells Nathanael: “We have found Him of whom Moses spoke, the Christ, the Messiah: Jesus of Nazareth,” Nathanael says: “But from Nazareth? Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”12 No prophet had ever come out of Nazareth; and now to have the Messiah come…, to have the Messiah come out of Nazareth, this was something inconceivable to the mind of the Hebrew people.
But notice how God hid this mystery of the First Coming of the Messiah from the eyes of the wise and knowledgeable, and revealed it to the babes13; He revealed it to those simple fishermen and farmers of that time, who recognized that Jesus was the Messiah, the king of Israel.
And now, you see, when Jesus says of Nathanael: “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile,” Nathanael says to Him: “How do you know me?” and Jesus says to him: “When you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” And Nathanael said to Him: “You are the King of Israel, you are the Son of God.”14
In other words, Nathanael was under the fig tree praying to God and was praying for the Coming of the Messiah; and now when he meets the Messiah, the Messiah tells him that he was under the fig tree, and that was enough for him to know that this was the Messiah, the one Nathanael was waiting for.
And what Philip had told him was true, when he said: “We have found the Messiah, we have found Him of whom Moses the prophet spoke.”
And now, notice how in a simple way God hides from the wise and understanding the mystery of the First Coming of the Messiah and His forerunner, and reveals it to the simple people.
And now, there is another great mystery in the Kingdom of God and it is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ; that mystery is also hidden from the wise and understanding, but for the Last Day it will be revealed to the children, it will be revealed to God’s elect, to the members of the Mystical Body of Christ, in a new age: In the Age of the Cornerstone, and in a new dispensation: the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Now, we find that the Hebrew people haven’t yet realized that the First Coming of the Messiah has already been fulfilled. Why have the Hebrew people not realized it? Because they had already programmed everything about how the Coming of the Messiah would be, and it wasn’t fulfilled in the way they had interpreted it; but it was fulfilled according to the prophecies, it was fulfilled according to how God had designed it.
And notice how the First Coming of Christ was hidden from the wise and knowledgeable, but revealed to the children.
And from Christ until now there are millions of human beings who have seen the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ, the First Coming of the Messiah as the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world on Calvary’s Cross.
And when one sees, that is, understands, the mystery of the Kingdom of God that is fulfilled, obtains the benefit contained in that mystery of the Kingdom of God. As long as that mystery is not fulfilled, it is still hidden; and no one can receive the benefit of that mystery until that mystery is fulfilled and opened to the public.
And now, see how the benefit of the mystery of the First Coming of Christ, of that mystery of the Kingdom of God, we have been receiving since the days of Jesus until this end time.
And from age to age God sent a messenger among the gentiles, with the Message of the Gospel of Grace, to make known through that messenger the mystery of the First Coming of Christ and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross. And with that manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit in that messenger, we find that He called and gathered His elect of every stage, of every age, and thus they received the benefit of the First Coming of Christ, the mystery of the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God in His Work of Redemption there on Calvary’s Cross.
And now, why did God send seven angel messengers, seven men, during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church? Because God does nothing without revealing His secrets to His servants the prophets; and the prophets reveal it to the people of God. Amos, chapter 3, verse 7, tells us that “the Lord God will do nothing, except He first reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets.”
Now, notice, a prophet is a man sent by God to Earth with both consciousnesses together; and that is why the Word of God comes to those prophets: because they have been designed by God for that purpose.
That is why God said through the prophet Moses, in Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 15 to 19:
“The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken…”
And why does Moses say to listen to him, to that prophet? He says:
“According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
Where does God place His words? In the mouth of the prophet He sends. How can we hear the Voice of God, the Voice of Christ? Through the prophet He sends for every age and for every dispensation, because in the mouth of that prophet is the Word of God. That prophet is the Voice of God for the people, that prophet is the mouth of God; and that is why the Word of God is in that prophet and goes out from that prophet to the people, so that the people receive the Word of God. Now, he continues saying:
“…and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
What does a prophet speak in the age or dispensation in which God sends him? Everything that God puts in his mouth, everything God sends that prophet to speak. And the Word of God that comes through the prophets of God is the spiritual food for the soul of the person; for “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”15 And Amos, chapter 8, verse 11, says that there will be a famine on Earth, not a famine of bread but… not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Word of God, the Word that comes from the mouth of God, the Word that comes from the prophet messenger of God for the time in which the people are living.
Where will you find the Word of God, the spiritual food for the soul? In the mouth of God, which is the prophet that God sends for every age or for every dispensation.
And now, notice how the revelation of God comes to the prophet of each age and to the prophet of each dispensation; and that revelation of the prophet comes to the people; and the people thus obtain the revelation of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven relevant to that time.
That is the way established by God for the revelation of God to come to the people of God; that is why in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, our Lord Jesus Christ 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.”
The promise here is to obtain the revelation of all these things that must happen after those that have already happened in the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church; and to obtain that revelation one must go up to where Christ is revealing Himself in the midst of His Church in the Last Day.
After the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, where Christ was manifested in each angel messenger revealing Himself to His people during the Dispensation of Grace, then He goes up to the Age of the Cornerstone, where He veils Himself and reveals Himself through His Angel Messenger to His people, to His Church, and He makes known to us all these things that must take place soon, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Last Day.
And in order to obtain that revelation we must go up to the Age of the Cornerstone; and then in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, we can see that it is through His Angel Messenger that all these things that must happen soon are made known; because Christ in His Angel Messenger will be in the Last Day manifested, making known to us through him these things that must shortly be done, these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Revelation 22, verse 6 says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Whom does He say He has sent? His Angel Messenger. What for? To make known these things which must happen soon.
These mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that must be fulfilled and that are placed in the prophecies pertaining to the Last Day, are also placed in parables; prophetic parables that speak of the events pertaining to the Last Day.
Now to make known these things that are already prophesied, so that all of God’s elect may know them and obtain the benefit of the fulfillment of these promises, Jesus sends His Angel Messenger.
The God of the spirits of the prophets, the Lord, has sent whom? His Angel, to show His servants the things that must shortly be done.
And Christ testifies again in Revelation 22, verse 16, saying as follows:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
Who does Jesus say He has sent? Whom? His Angel Messenger. What for? To testify of these things in the churches; to testify of these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that must happen, that must be fulfilled in the Last Day, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, which is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit with the ministries of Moses and Elijah, Jesus Christ manifesting in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger and operating in him the ministries of Moses for the second time, of Elijah for the fifth time and of Jesus for the second time. That is the greatest mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven; and that is the mystery that, for the Last Day, Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger would be manifesting and would be revealing to His Church, for us to obtain the benefit of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in the Last Day, in the midst of His gentile Church.
Now, it also speaks of the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, and it speaks of the Son of Man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory (Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 to 31), and it also speaks that the Son of Man will send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other.
Now, notice that this is a very great mystery: it is the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; a mystery that for the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, would be revealed to the Mystical Body of Christ, that is, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The promise is that the Son of Man will come in the clouds of Heaven. Luke says “in a cloud,” Mark says “in the clouds,” Matthew says “in the clouds” and the prophet Daniel says “in the clouds.”
Now, let’s see how the prophet Daniel saw it in chapter 7 of his book. Chapter 7, verse 13 to 14 says:
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
Here we can see the Coming of the Son of Man in the clouds, just as our beloved Lord Jesus Christ prophesied; and this prophecy also appears in Revelation: in chapter 1 of Revelation and in chapter 10. In chapter 1, verse 7, it says:
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
And in Revelation, chapter 10, it says:
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud (there you have Him coming in a cloud): and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.”
Here we have the Coming of the Son of Man in a cloud, and He appears with the rainbow around His head; He appears here wrapped in a cloud, and He appears with His face like the sun and with His feet like pillars of fire, and with a little Book open in His hand.
That little Book is the Book of the Seven Seals of Revelation, chapter 5, which Christ takes in Heaven, opens it and then brings it to Earth; and we find that He comes to Earth, He puts one foot, the right one, on the sea, and the left one on Earth; that is the Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Mighty Angel, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, His Coming promised in different prophecies of the Old Testament and also of the New Testament.
Now, let’s see what is the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. Just as there was a sign for the First Coming of Christ in heaven, which was the star called the Star of Bethlehem, for the Last Day or for the end time there will be a sign in heaven: The sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and the Son of Man will be seen there wrapped in a cloud, or coming in a cloud. In other words, a physical sign would be seen in heaven, but it is a cloud of glory, where the Son of Man comes, where the Son of Man is seen in heaven.
On February 28, 1963, a mysterious cloud was seen in the sky. And it was published in the Magazine Science16 and in the magazine Life17 as a mysterious cloud, because it appeared 26 miles,18 where there is no humidity and no airplanes fly; therefore, a cloud cannot form there at that altitude; it was a cloud 30 miles wide by 50 miles long.19
Now, what is the mystery of this cloud? See, here is the photo. Here they also took at different times the picture of this cloud and from different places. The mystery of this cloud, says the reverend William Marrion Branham, who was hunting, he was hunting that day; he says that seven angels came from heaven, angels of God, and took him, and placed him in that cloud with those seven angels that came and took him and placed him there.
He says that there were the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church, and that there was another Angel Messenger in that cloud, which was very different from the other angel messengers.
And he says that that Angel that was very different from the others, it was the one that took him and lifted him up and placed him in that cloud. He says that that Angel that was very different from the others, was the one that had the Seventh Seal. The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ.
Now notice, the Angel that has the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, appeared here in this cloud; it is this Angel that is flying here. And if we tilt this picture to the right, we see the face of the Lord Jesus Christ formed by this cloud, formed by angels in their theophanic bodies. And here are the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church forming the beard of the Lord; and here is the Angel that was different from the others forming the white hair of the Lord.
And just as the seven angel messengers of the seven ages had to be manifested in human bodies, to be manifested in flesh to have their ministries in the age relevant to each angel messenger, so the Angel who was very different from the others also, for the Last Day the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ has to be manifested in human flesh, to have His ministry of the Last Day and thus fulfill the mystery of the Seventh Seal, thus fulfilling the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.
And thus may this mystery be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this Last Day by the Mighty Angel, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in His final manifestation through His Angel Messenger.
And that is why He says: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
The Sent One of Jesus Christ is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is sent with the revelation of God to testify of all these things that must shortly come to pass, and thus open these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven pertaining to the Last Day; mysteries that are here in the Bible: in the prophecies relevant to the Last Day and in the parables pertaining to the Last Day.
And through the ministry of the Mighty Angel, of Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger, these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven would be opened to the children of God, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; age that is fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean, where the mystery of the Seventh Seal is opened, where the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work is opened.
Now, notice how the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven would be opened in the Last Day, those pertaining to the Last Day, to the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the midst of the Latin American and Caribbean people.
And now, see where we are in the fulfillment of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
In order to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven we need to receive the Sent One of Christ, which is His Angel Messenger, who is sent with the revelation of all these things that must happen soon, to make it known to all the sons and daughters of God in this Last Day.
Now, we have seen THE MYSTERY OF THE DIVINE REVELATION TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THIS LAST DAY.
Without this divine revelation of these divine mysteries that are made known through Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger, no person will be able to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven pertaining to the Last Day, no one will be able to understand the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels at the Last Day; because that is the greatest mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven, promised to be revealed, to be fulfilled, at the Last Day, and to be made known to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And for that Jesus Christ says: “I Jesus have sent my Angel to testify to you these things in the churches.”
Now we can see how this great mystery of the Second Coming of Christ would be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ through the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ. And thus all would understand this mystery and would see the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ in the Last Day, in the midst of His Church, in the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, notice that this mystery wasn’t revealed in past ages and dispensations, because this is the greatest mystery of the whole Bible; which God hid in His Mind, and hadn’t revealed it to anyone; because it would be revealed in the Last Day, in the fulfillment of that mystery.
And notice how a person, in order to be able to understand the mystery (let’s say) of an electronic equipment, and to be able to work on that electronic equipment, needs a diagram. The first thing an electronics technician looks for is the diagram of the equipment; because if he doesn’t have a diagram, the technician is lost to get all the details of that equipment; he can’t know how it was built, because he doesn’t have the diagram. But if he gets the diagram, that technician or that electronics engineer, he will be able to work on that equipment; and he can know how it works and what power it has, because everything is specified in the diagram; because that is the design, the blueprint of that equipment.
And now, when God commanded the prophet Moses to build a tabernacle, He gave him a diagram, He gave him a blueprint, and He said to him: “Build it according to the pattern that was shown to you in the mount, there in Mount Sinai”; and the diagram, the model that was given to him, it was the design of the Temple that is in Heaven.
According to that design, Moses built a tabernacle here on Earth, which typified, represented, the Temple that is in Heaven; and at the same time it was representing the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Also King Solomon, when he built the temple, he built it according to the design that God had given to the prophet Moses.
Now, notice how the temple of Solomon and the temple built by Moses are type and figure of the Temple that is in Heaven, and they are type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So to understand what the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is and its different stages, different ages, you must have the diagram, you must know the diagram; and see how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been passing from age to age, and God has sent a messenger for each age.
And those seven stages or ages have already passed, they have already transpired; and now we are, according to the diagram or Divine Blueprint of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is His Church, we are in the Age of the Cornerstone, the age represented in the most holy place of the temple built by Solomon and the temple built by Moses, and the Temple which is in Heaven.
And now, knowing that diagram we can see that all that is in Heaven will be represented here on Earth in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, as it was represented in the most holy place of the temple that Moses built and of the temple that Solomon built.
So God will be materializing in human flesh, in human beings, the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, with all that it contains; just as He materialized in human flesh, in human beings, the Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven: He materialized it in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church; with those seven stages or ages the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ was built, and also with the Hebrew group of the time of the apostles.
Now, we can see that what God has been building is a Temple composed of human beings, which is the representation of the Temple that is in Heaven; and that is why what is in Heaven is represented in the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, we can see that God entered the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, He passed into that temple and placed Himself upon the mercy seat that was on the ark of the covenant, He placed Himself in the midst of the two golden cherubim; and that represents the Second Coming of Christ to His spiritual Temple, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.
So notice where the Second Coming of Christ would be fulfilled. It wasn’t fulfilled in the first, second, third, fourth, fourth, fifth or sixth or seventh age, but according to the divine promise it has to be fulfilled in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
Now notice how in the Divine Blueprint of the Mystical Body of Christ, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the spiritual Temple of God, notice where the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah would be fulfilled: in a new age and in a new dispensation, see? According to the Blueprint we can then see that the prophecies of the Last Day pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ, all of them, will be fulfilled in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ. That is where Christ sends His Angel Messenger to make known to us these things that must happen soon.
Now, many people know that something great from God has to happen in this time in which we live; but they don’t know what it is, because they don’t know the Divine Blueprint, they don’t know the diagram of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, and they can’t understand the prophecies pertaining to the Last Day, and they can’t locate them in the time and place where they have to be fulfilled, and they don’t place themselves in that place to see the fulfillment of those promises.
But God said to the prophet Daniel that the wise shall understand.20 And who are the wise? They are those to whom these things that must take place soon are made known, it is granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
And how are we to know these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, these things that must happen soon? Through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, who comes testifying of these things which must happen soon; through the Voice of Christ in His Angel Messenger all these things that must happen soon, in this Last Day, are made known.
Did you see how simple it is to know all these things which must take place soon, to know all these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that are promised to be fulfilled in this end time in which we live? It is receiving the Sent One of Jesus Christ, through whom Jesus Christ will be making known to us all these things that must happen soon, He will be making known to us all these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that will be fulfilled in this end time.
We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE REVELATION TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
The mystery of the revelation to understand is in receiving the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom comes Jesus Christ making known to us all these things that must happen soon; therein lies the mystery. By receiving the Angel of Jesus Christ we are receiving the One who sent him, Jesus Christ; and therefore, we are hearing the Voice of Jesus Christ making known to us all these mysteries of all these things which must shortly be done, in the Last Day, in which we are living.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE REVELATION TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
Unto you it is allotted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom. And when I say “you,” I can say: “To you: here in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ”; age that is being fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean.
So it is Latin American and Caribbean people who in the Last Day would be seeing and receiving Jesus Christ manifested in His Angel Messenger; and they would be listening to him, making known to us all these things that must come to pass soon; and thus we would be obtaining the knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that will be fulfilled in this Last Day.
And thus none of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that will be fulfilled or that will be fulfilled in this Last Day will pass over our head. Not a single one will escape us, if we receive the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in which Jesus Christ comes in Holy Spirit making known to us all these things that must come to pass soon, in this end time.
That Angel Messenger comes making known these things that must shortly come to pass: He is a prophet; because the prophets are those who make known the things that will happen, they are those who prophesy of the events that will come to pass, and they are also those who make known those that are being fulfilled at the time when God sends that prophet; because the revelation of God comes to His prophets; “for the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets (to whom?) to His servants the prophets.” Amos, chapter 3, verse 7.
So in Latin America and the Caribbean God’s elect will be listening to these things that must happen soon, and obtaining the knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that will be fulfilled in this Last Day; and they will have a clear knowledge of each of these mysteries that will be fulfilled or will be fulfilled in this end time, beginning with the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.
Now, notice how from age to age we have had a messenger; and we couldn’t miss a messenger for the Age of the Cornerstone: that is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And from dispensation to dispensation we have had a dispensational prophet. The first, Adam, for the Dispensation of Innocence. The second, Seth, for the second dispensation, the Dispensation of Conscience. The third, Noah, for the third dispensation, the Dispensation of Human Government. The fourth, Abraham, for the Dispensation of Promise, which is the fourth dispensation. And the fifth, Moses, for the Dispensation of the Law, which is the fifth dispensation. And the sixth, Jesus, for the Dispensation of Grace, which is the sixth dispensation. And the seventh, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the seventh dispensation.
These prophet messengers are bearers of the Message of the dispensation in which they are sent; and in each one of them the Spirit that was in Jesus Christ has been manifested, because it has been the same Spirit of Christ manifested in all of them, carrying out the Work relevant to that time.
Now, seeing that we are living in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; we are also living in the beginning of a new era:
• We had the era of the Ram for the time of Abraham and Moses.
• We also had the era of Pisces for these two thousand years that have passed, the era of Christianity. And that is why when Christ was preaching and calling His apostles, He told them: “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men”21; He was in the era of Pisces; and therefore, notice how the symbolism of the era of Pisces was reflected in Christ and His apostles.
And now, notice how it was also reflected in all Christianity; and in the catacombs they drew little fishes or a little fish as a symbol of Christianity.
• And now the Aquarian era is intertwining with the Piscean era.
And just as there was a prophet in each of these past eras…
You see, Jesus was the prophet messenger of the era of Pisces; as the scholars of the eras would also call Him, they would call Him “the avatar” of the era of Pisces; for the Aquarian era there will also be the messenger, the prophet messenger, who is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the avatar of the Aquarian era.
Now, each messenger for each age has brought the Message for each age in which he has been sent. And with the Message of the Aquarian era, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message that revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
And human beings will come to the knowledge of God. The Scripture says: “All shall know me.”22 It says that all will know God.
In other words, the Aquarian era is the era of divine knowledge for the human race; it is the era where religious discrepancies will end, sectarianism will end, and all the problems of all nations will end.
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” Habakkuk says, chapter 2, verse 14; and also Isaiah, chapter 11, verse 9; and it says: “And they shall do no evil in all my Holy Mountain.” In other words, the evil will end.
“They shall do no evil in all my holy mountain,” why? Because the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
They will be filled with the knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work. And thus they will receive the benefit of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.
Now, we have seen that this is the greatest mystery, the mystery contained in the Seventh Seal, which Christ reveals in His Coming with His Voice as a lion crying and seven thunders uttering their voices. Crying how? As when a lion roars (Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 to 11).
And this is how the mystery of the Seventh Seal, of the Second Coming of Christ, is revealed to all the sons and daughters of God in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
See where this divine mystery would be fulfilled and this mystery of the Seventh Seal would be made known, and where Christ would be crying out as when a lion roars and the seven thunders would be uttering their voices, and would be revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming in the Last Day, this greater mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE REVELATION TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
It has been my privilege to be with you in giving testimony to you the mystery of the revelation to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and upon me as well, and may He always open our understanding to comprehend these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven; and may we all soon be transformed, and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, in the House of our heavenly Father. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, and may you all continue having an evening filled with the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It will be until tonight, God willing, at… let’s see what time. At 7:30 in the evening with the group Colonia Libertadores de América, where we will be talking about the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY.”
Well, may God continue to bless you all, God keep you; and until tonight, God willing, for those who will be there tonight.
God continue to bless you all, and with us again Reverend Roberto Monsibaez to continue.
