The mystery of the white horse of Revelation

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, tonight, to share with you a few moments of spiritual fellowship around the Word of God, and thus see the time in which we find ourselves in these days in which we are living.

For this I would like to see the subject that we have for this occasion, we have it here: “THE MYSTERY OF THE WHITE HORSE.”

In order to understand what white horse we will be talking about, we look in our Bibles, in chapter 19 of the book of Revelation, to see what we will be talking about according to the publication of the newspaper that was made yesterday, Saturday.

Let’s see Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, where it says:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”

Here we have, in this passage, the Second Coming of Christ on a snow-white horse.

On this occasion we will be looking at these questions that we have formulated here in the newspaper:

1. What does that white horse mean?

2. When will Heaven be opened to know this mystery?

3. Who is the one who rides that horse?

4. Who is He judging and fighting against?

5. Who is represented by that army that also follows Him on white horses, according to Revelation 19, verse 14?

6. What is the relationship with the white horse in Revelation, chapter 6?

I told you that this Scripture is the prophecy of the Second Coming of Christ, one of the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ.

The Second Coming of Christ has been a mystery to Christianity, just as the Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Messiah, has also been a mystery to the Hebrew people. For God fulfilled the First Coming of Christ in the midst of the Hebrew people, and the Hebrew people did not even realize the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ. And they had the Scripture, they had the Old Testament; and the Old Testament speaks of the Coming of the Messiah; and when it speaks of the Coming of the Messiah, it speaks of the First Coming of Christ and the Second Coming of Christ.

We find that in relation to the First Coming of Christ it spoke that He would come through a virgin woman, through whom the Messiah would be born; and that He would be of the descendants of King David, and that He would be born in Bethlehem of Judea.

Now, look at all the information that God had given about the First Coming of the Messiah; and that it would be in the midst of the Hebrew people; and, therefore, the First Coming of the Messiah would be fulfilled in one born in the land of Israel, and by birth He would be (what?) a Hebrew, a Jew.

Now, look at all the information that the Hebrew people had and that the doctors of divinity, in theology, of that time had regarding the First Coming of the Messiah; and furthermore, it was promised that the Messiah would have His ministry in the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy, and that in the middle of that week the Messiah would be taken away.¹

Therefore, by adding and taking out the numbers, they could go up to the seventieth week, and in the middle of that week place a little line and say: “Up to here we will have the Messiah among us. Now, when will He be born? And we know it will be in Bethlehem of Judea, and we know it will be through a descendant of King David, but in what year will He be born?”

They had to watch for signs in the sky; because in the Scripture it said that a Star would come out of Israel.² That was the sign of the Coming of the Messiah in the midst of the Hebrew people.

And when that sign appeared, and that Star was seen, some wise men who were living in Babylon, there in the east, saw that sign in the sky (because they studied the heavens); and they went out to the land of Israel to look for the Messiah, because He was already on Earth; because the sign of the Messiah, the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man among the Hebrew people, was already in the sky.

They came to Jerusalem asking for the Messiah. They said, in Matthew, chapter 3… let’s see what happened there when these wise men came to the land of Israel. Chapter 2, verse 1 and on, it says:

“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.”

Oh, what an embarrassment!, that wise men come from so far away, and they see the sign of the Son of Man for His First Coming in heaven, and when they arrive in Jerusalem, even the king knew nothing of the Coming of the Messiah, they knew nothing of the birth of the Messiah; the Hebrew religion (which was expecting the Messiah) knew nothing either; the religious people of that time, the leaders, starting with the high priest, knew nothing of the birth of the Messiah either. And they had it all promised in the Scripture; but, because of their interpretations, they failed to see the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.

Perhaps they thought, if they saw it, if they were looking for the sign in the sky, if they saw it: “Well, that is a light there, or a star, that may have gone out in other years; and we had not seen it, because we had not looked up, but surely there it was.”

But now, you see, some wise men who are over there in the east, they see that sign in the sky and they know that the Messiah was already born on Earth; because the sign was already where? Appearing in the sky. When they arrived in Jerusalem, the Star had already been appearing for two years.

With the sign of the Son of Man in the sky for His First Coming, for two years, and those great wise and knowledgeable in religious matters did not even know that the Messiah was already on Earth.

And why had they studied so much? To have a very nice title there: “Doctor in theology,” “Doctor in divinity”; but they knew nothing about the Coming of the Messiah! They had a title there that identified them as ignorant about the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah. God hid the First Coming of the Messiah from the wise and knowledgeable.

And the question is: Will He hide again from the wise and knowledgeable the second part of the Coming of the Messiah, the Second Coming of Christ? If He hides it, the doctorates in theology that the great religious wise men of this world may have will be of no use to them; because it will happen just as it happened to the great wise and knowledgeable men, doctors in theology, in divinity, of the Hebrew people, two thousand years ago.

Now, notice:

“…Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.”

All Jerusalem, why? Because if the Messiah was already on Earth, why had the high priest and the priests of that time not announced to the people that the First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Messiah, was already fulfilled? And the whole city was in an uproar.

And king Herod, who was the most interested in the Coming of the Messiah… not because he loved His Coming, but because he did not want another king to appear on the scene; and he wanted to know the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah, what for? To kill the Messiah while He was still a little child.

Look at the kind of heart the king had, the political leader of that time, who ruled the Hebrew people; although he was not a Hebrew, but he had been placed there by Caesar.

And now, notice, all Jerusalem was troubled with the king.

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests…”

That is, the high priest, and the high priests who were still living (although they were not exercising the priesthood), and the members of the Council of the Hebrew religion, which were the members of the Council of the Sanhedrin (which were seventy wise men, seventy important men, wise men in religious matters, with their doctorates in theology, doctors of divinity), and the chief priests of the Hebrew religion: they gathered, because king Herod summoned them to a meeting to know where the Messiah had to be born.

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet (By what prophet? By the prophet Micah, in chapter 5 and verse 2),

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”

See, this is a prophecy of the First Coming of Christ to be fulfilled in the midst of the Hebrew people, in the city of David, in Bethlehem of Judea.

“Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.”

But that was not the king’s intention. It was to go and kill the child Jesus, who was born, according to the prophecy of Micah, in Bethlehem of Judea; for Mary was a descendant of King David, and Joseph was also a descendant of King David.³

And because the king had commanded that a census should be made, every person had to go to the city to which he belonged, and to the tribe to which he belonged, to register there in that census.

And since Joseph and Mary belonged to the tribe of Judah, and were descendants of King David, and King David was born in Bethlehem of Judea, because that is where Jesse was from; they had to go to that place, to that city, to be registered in the census that was taking place. But the time came for her to give birth, and she gave birth in Bethlehem of Judea, so that the prophecy would be fulfilled that He had to be born in Bethlehem of Judea.

And now, look how all things work together for good, so that in the Divine Program the prophecies that pertain to each time are fulfilled.

And now, see how that census worked together for good, because otherwise Joseph and Mary would not have gone to Bethlehem of Judea. Why? Because a pregnant woman, nine months pregnant, who is about to give birth, is not going to make a trip from one city to another city on foot or by donkey; on horseback it was difficult, because horses were used by people who had money.

Now, look, Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth, and Nazareth is in this area up here; and Bethlehem of Judea is down here. So they had to travel from up here, down here to Bethlehem of Judea. With a woman nine months pregnant, what man is going to make a trip like that? But because the census was mandatory, they had to go.

And sometimes there are people who have to go… for the Scripture to be fulfilled, they have to go to the right place; sometimes they go because they understand that they have to go and the Scripture must be fulfilled there; and sometimes they go because they have no other choice; otherwise they would not go, because of the circumstances that surround them, and normally in those circumstances they cannot go. But when the thing is obligatory, they either go or go, and the Scripture that had to be fulfilled there is fulfilled.

Look, for example, when Jesus was preaching and they took John the Baptist prisoner, Jesus left that area and went to Zabulon and Nephthalim; and you see, perhaps everyone said: “Jesus ran away; since they already took John prisoner, now they were going to look for Jesus to take Him prisoner.” And… Look, chapter 4, verse 12 and on of Matthew, it says:

“Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Now look, He left a certain territory and went into another, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled; and there He shone forth preaching. The Light of God, Christ, the Light of God shone. He said: “I am the light of the world.”⁴

There Christ, the Light of the world, was preaching and shining and enlightening the soul and the understanding of the people who lived in those regions: in Zabulon and Nephthalim:

“…by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.”

And for His Second Coming, He will be among the gentiles giving us Light, shining as the Sun of Righteousness, and enlightening our souls and our understanding, and making known to us all these things that must happen soon, at the Last Day.

Now see how two thousand years ago, with the Coming of the Messiah, the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem of Judea, the sign of the Son of Man appeared in heaven, the sign of the First Coming of the Messiah; but the Hebrew people could not understand that sign that was in heaven. Some wise men came from there from Babylon saying that the sign, the Star of the Messiah, had been seen in the sky.

And now, the Scripture speaks of the sign of the Son of Man in heaven for the Last Day, for the end time, and how many will be those who will see that sign in heaven and understand that that is the sign of the Second Coming of Christ being seen in heaven, where the Son of Man would be wrapped in a cloud, in that cloud, in that sign of the Son of Man that would be seen in heaven? How many will understand that sign being seen in heaven? Very few people.

Now, notice, He comes on a snow-white horse. Then you can also see, for example, in Matthew, chapter 24, where Christ speaks of the Coming of the Son of Man; He tells us that He comes in a cloud, says:

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Now look, in Revelation, chapter 19, it tells us that He comes on a white horse; and in Matthew, chapter 24, Jesus says that He comes wrapped in a cloud, He comes in a cloud or “in the clouds of heaven.” In Luke tells us, Christ speaking in chapter 21 and verses 27 and on, says:

“And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Now, Matthew says He comes “in the clouds of heaven,” and Luke says He comes “in a cloud.” There is no contradiction there.

Now, also in Revelation, chapter 1, verses 7 to 8, it tells us:

“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.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

Now, here it says that He comes in the clouds or “with clouds.” And Revelation, chapter 10, tells us:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud (how does this Mighty Angel come, who is Christ, the Son of Man coming? It says He comes ‘clothed 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.”

Now see, it tells us that He comes in a cloud; and also, in Revelation 19, it tells us that He comes on a white horse.

On February 28, 1963, a mysterious cloud appeared in the sky; mysterious, because it appeared 26 miles high, where airplanes do not fly and there is no humidity to form clouds, and its size was approximately 30 miles wide by 50 miles long⁵; a giant cloud. There was no scientific explanation for that cloud, the appearance of that cloud in the sky was a mystery to science.

Now, what is the mystery of this cloud? Since there was no satisfactory scientific explanation regarding the appearance of that cloud in that place, where a cloud could not be seen because there was no humidity, nor airplanes flying at that altitude. The mystery of that cloud was made known by the Reverend William Marrion Branham in the message of The Seven Seals, preached in English in 1963, in the month of March. And on page 469 of the book of The Seals he says… in Spanish, he says:⁶

“^275. And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’

^276. Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant, for one time in life!”

Now, see the mystery of this cloud is: seven angels that came to where Reverend William Marrion Branham was hunting in the mountains of Tucson, Arizona; and one of those angels —the one that was very different from the others— lifted him up, and took him with them to that cloud.

That is a cloud formed by angels of God, formed by the seven angel messengers of the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church. Here we have, in this diagram,⁷ the gentile Church of the Lord Jesus Christ passing through its different stages, and the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church.

Those seven angel messengers were here, in this cloud; and another Angel Messenger who was very different from the others, was the Son of Man there in that cloud.

And now, these angel messengers, notice, they each came in their time, in their age, they came in human flesh, and had their ministry here on Earth; but here, in this cloud, when they are taken in this picture, they are in their theophanic bodies, not in their bodies of flesh, but in their theophanic bodies.

The apostle Saint Paul was there, who was the first angel messenger of the first age of the gentile Church; there was also Irenaeus, there was Martin, there was Columba, there was Luther, there was Wesley and there was the Reverend William Marrion Branham; and another Angel very different from those seven angel messengers.

That other very different Angel was none other than the Son of Man, it was none other than Christ coming there in that cloud, clothed in that cloud, according to the prophecy of the Coming of the Son of Man in a cloud or in the clouds.

And now, notice, how in Revelation, chapter 10, it tells us:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud (there you have it): and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.”

Now, let’s continue to see the mystery of this cloud and of this Angel who is with these other seven angels in this cloud. It goes on to say on page 482 and 483, up to 484, it says… (already at the end it says [482]):⁸

“^[399]. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time.”

He says:

“Now, until that time, let’s just all pray, live good, straight, Christian lives, looking forward for His Coming.”

Then further down, at the end it says:

“^405. Another thing, I want you to notice what taken place. And if you’re listening to the tape, of the What Time Is It, Sir?, you will notice that one Angel was very notable to me. The rest of Them just was seemed ordinarily. But this Angel was a noted Angel. He was to my left, in the constellation in the form of a pyramid.

^406. And, remember, it was in the pyramid, where the mysterious white Rock was not written on. And the Angels took me into that…”

From where he was, where he was hunting, from there they lifted him up to where? They elevated him to where they were. He says:

“And the Angels took me into that pyramid of Themselves.”

They took him from down here and placed him up here. Now, they took him in his theophanic body, that is, in spirit. He says:

“…the mysteries of God known only to Them.”

These angels that are here are these seven angel messengers, along with another Angel that was very different from the others, that for the Last Day has to come in human flesh and manifest Himself on Earth, and come as the messenger of the Last Day, manifested in human flesh in the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone. And now:

“…the mysteries of God known only to Them. And, now, Them was the Messengers had come to interpret that pyramid…”

The messengers, who each came in their age to interpret, to fulfill the pyramid, are here; and they came to form this cloud in the form of a pyramid; which if you turn it to the right, you will find that it forms the face of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, seeing this cloud of angels forming the face of the Lord, we can see the seven angel messengers of the seven ages forming the beard of the Lord, and we can see the Angel who was very different from the others (up here) forming the white hair of the Lord.

And now, notice how the Scripture also says that the Son of Man comes with His face like the sun. See, right here in Revelation chapter 10, it says:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with 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 in Revelation, chapter 1, verse… let’s see, verse 16, it says:

“And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”

And in Matthew, chapter 17, when Christ went up with Peter, James and John to Mount Transfiguration, the Scripture tells us that He was transfigured before His disciples, and His face shone like the sun.

And also in Malachi, chapter 4, verses 2 and on, it tells us:

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall (speaking to us of the Second Coming of Christ).”

Now, in order to understand this mystery of this symbol of the sun shining, the face of Christ as the sun shining, we have to understand that the sun is the king star, and Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

And in His Second Coming Christ comes as King of kings and Lord of lords; therefore, He comes as the sun shining. The sun is the symbolism of the Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords, as is the symbolism of the lion; for Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The lion is the king of the animals, and Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords; that is why the Second Coming of Christ is also announced as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Now, notice that the Second Coming of Christ (both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament) was spoken of more than the First Coming of Christ; and it was spoken of from different angles and from different positions of the life of the human being.

It was spoken from different angles, so that people could understand the different aspects of life that would be impacted by the Second Coming of Christ.

Both for the religious, economic, social and political life of the human being, the Second Coming of Christ would have an effect, and that is why we find the different representative symbols of the Second Coming of Christ. And in the Second Coming of Christ we would be seeing all those symbols being fulfilled.

And now, let’s see that the Second Coming of Christ is the Coming of this Angel who was very different from the others (who found here), being manifested on Earth in human flesh; and for that He has to have a veil of flesh, a prophet, on Earth; because the Word, the Word comes to the prophets of God.

The Word became flesh two thousand years ago; and the Word, who was with God and was God, came in human flesh in the person of a young carpenter from Nazareth named Jesus. That young carpenter was God’s prophet for that new Dispensation of Grace, and in Him came the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob incarnate.

And now, see how for the Last Day this Angel that was very different from the others, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, will come manifested in human body, in human flesh, in His Angel Messenger, in the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone (up here) and of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

In other words, it will be the Coming of Christ, His Second Coming, in a dispensational prophet; in the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will be that the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will come manifested in human flesh.

Just as the First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant two thousand years ago, as the Lamb of God, was fulfilled in a dispensational prophet: in Jesus of Nazareth, a simple young carpenter of Nazareth, but in Him was who? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord fulfilling the First Coming in human flesh as the Lamb of God.

The Second Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will also be in human flesh, as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.

Let’s see here what the First Coming of Christ was. Malachi, chapter 3, verse 1 onwards, says:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me…”

That messenger who was sent by God, who was he? John the Baptist; he was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, the one who prepared the way for Him, the one who said: “After me, after me, another is coming, one is coming, a man of whom I am not worthy to untie the latchet of His shoes; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire. He is greater than I (why?) because He was before me, before me.”⁹

And now, notice, John says that He was before him (before John), and He was born after John. How can we understand this? He was not only born before John, that is, He was not only before John, although His physical body was born after the birth of John the Baptist, about six months later.

But that same Jesus who was born in Bethlehem of Judea, when He was in His earthly ministry said: “Before Abraham was, I am. And Abraham desired to see my day; he saw it, and rejoiced.” They say to Him: “You are not fifty years old, and you say that you have seen Abraham?”¹⁰

It is that some people do not understand that the one who was inside that veil of flesh called Jesus, was nothing less than Elohim, was nothing less than Melchizedek, was nothing less than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, was the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant; and the Angel of the Covenant was before Abraham, and was before Adam also.

See what it tells us about the Word, John says, chapter 1, verse 1, it says:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

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

Then, verse… Let’s see here, it goes on to say:

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

See where the origin of all Creation is: it is in the Word, who was with God and was God. How do you understand this? The Word was with God: that theophanic body of God, called the theophany of God, was with God and was God, because God was within that theophanic body; and from that theophanic body, God carried out all Creation. But you see, it says:

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

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

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John (John the Baptist).

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

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

That he might bear witness saying that after him would come a man of whom he was not worthy to untie the latchet of His shoes, and thus announce the Coming of the Light in human flesh, the Coming of the Word in human flesh.

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

How did He come into this world? Let’s see in a moment how He came into this world:

“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came unto his own (the Hebrew people), and his own received him not.

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

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

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

How did the Word come? He came in human flesh, the Word became flesh; and we knew Him by the name of Jesus. It was the Word made flesh, it was God Himself with His theophanic body within a veil of flesh called Jesus, a young carpenter from Nazareth. And that was the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ: as the Lamb of God dying on Calvary’s Cross.

And now, the prophecy of Malachi, chapter 3, was being fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. He had sent His forerunner: John the Baptist; and then God Himself appeared in human flesh, Emmanuel, which translated is: God with us, as God had said through the prophet Isaiah, in chapter 7 and verse 14: “Behold, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign (a sign): the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and His name shall be called Emmanuel (which translated is: God with us).”¹¹

Now, see how this had already been announced in the Old Testament. The coming of the forerunner was announced: of John the Baptist; and the coming of the foreran was also announced: of Jesus Christ.

It says:

“…And the Lord, (who would come? The Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Jacob) 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, who would come? The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How would He come? In human flesh, in the form of a prophet, calling Himself by an earthly name: Jesus.

At the time when Jesus appeared there had also appeared many people before Him who were called Jesus; but now, you see, Jesus means ‘Redeemer’ or ‘Savior’; and since He was coming as the Lamb of God to carry out the Work of Redemption, the Work of Salvation, He had to come with the name that signified the Work He was coming to do, He had to come with the name Jesus, which means ‘Redeemer’ or ‘Savior.’ It has the same meaning as the name Joshua, the one who placed the Hebrew people in the promised land.

Now, we can see how the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah was carried out in such a simple way that the people who lived among the Hebrew people did not even realize that the Coming of the Messiah was fulfilled among them; an event that had been announced by God, through the prophets, to be fulfilled among the Hebrew people; and yet, when it was fulfilled, they did not give the correct importance they had to give to the fulfillment of that event, because they did not believe that in that young carpenter from Nazareth the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled.

They did not even understand that the Coming of Christ had two parts: the first part as the Lamb of God for that time when it was fulfilled, and the second part as the Lion of the tribe of Judah for the Last Day.

Now, we can see that for mankind the second part is the one that corresponds to this end time.

And now, see how through a young carpenter of Nazareth the first part of the Coming of the Lord, of the Coming of the Messiah was being fulfilled; and this was something incredible for the Hebrew religion and its great religious leaders, with their doctorates in theology.

And now the question is:

What if God surprises the human race again and the great wise men in religious matters, with their doctorates in theology, and sends them the fulfillment of His Second Coming in a construction worker again?

How many would believe the fulfillment of that event of the Second Coming of Christ being fulfilled in a construction worker, as the First Coming of Christ, the First Coming of the Messiah, was fulfilled in a construction worker, Jesus of Nazareth, the young carpenter of Nazareth?

It would be, for the theology of Christianity and also of Judaism, and of all religions, a disaster. But it would not be a disaster for the Divine Program, but for the human teachings that have embellished this great event that has been promised so much, and have not been able to understand that when an event of this kind is fulfilled, it always has to be the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, manifested in human flesh, in a veil of flesh of the time where He fulfills that promise.

Whenever the Angel of the Covenant has come manifested, the Angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit: He has come manifested from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation in human flesh, in a prophet; and that is why the First Coming of Christ and the Second Coming of Christ is called: the Coming of the Son of Man; because that title of Son of Man is the title of prophet.

Son of Man is a prophet, and that is why Christ used that title being a prophet; He could not use it if He was not a prophet.

And now, notice that He was the prophet of all prophets, the greatest prophet of all prophets, because in Him was the fullness of the Spirit of God. In the other prophets there had been a portion, but in Jesus was the fullness.

And now, we can see for the Last Day the great promises of the Second Coming of Christ. They show us, the prophecies related to the Second Coming of Christ, that He will come “in a cloud”; in other prophecies it says that He comes “in the clouds”; and in other prophecies it says that He comes “on a white horse.”

Now, the question of some will be: “On what will He actually come: on a white horse or in the clouds?”

To appear in heaven as the sign of the Son of Man: He comes in a cloud.

For the fulfillment of His promise here on Earth, coming in the fulfillment of His Second Coming in the midst of human beings: He comes in human flesh, in His Angel Messenger, who is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and also the prophet of the Age of the Cornerstone.

In that veil of flesh that He will have there, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, it will be that Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit fulfilling His promise.

Just as He came from age to age, He came to His Church from age to age through the messenger of each age; for the Last Day He comes in the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

And now, let’s see in Revelation, chapter 4 and also chapter 1. Let’s see here: Chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, it says, John the apostle says as follows:

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day (in what day was he? In the Lord’s Day, which is the Last Day or seventh millennium), and heard behind me a great voice, (he did not hear a trumpet, but a voice of a person, a voice in the form of a trumpet; that is, a voice with an urgent Message) as of a trumpet,

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last…”

Whose voice is this voice as of a trumpet? It is the Voice of Jesus Christ, who is the Alpha and Omega. He is the Alpha and Omega, and He is the first and the last.

And now, in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, we hear this Voice again (or John heard it). It says:

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

Now, where are we going to go up to? We are going up to the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ in the Last Day will be speaking to His Church, He will be calling and gathering all His elect. It is not that we will literally go up to Heaven to go there, to hear the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, and then come back here. How are you going to go there? Do you have any way to go there? Is there any plane or rocket that can take you there? There is not.

It is to go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, as the elect of each of these past ages had to go up: they had to go up to the age to which they belonged, and hear the Voice of Christ through the messenger that God sent to them in that age; and thus they were called and gathered: hearing the Voice of Christ gathering His elect, His sheep, in His Fold, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Fold of the Lord, of the Good Shepherd.

And now, notice, Christ shepherded His sheep through every messenger of every age; through every messenger, Christ spoke; and they heard the Voice of Christ calling and gathering His sheep in the Fold of the Lord.

And now, the Voice of Christ here in the Age of the Cornerstone, which corresponds to this end time, through His Angel Messenger will be speaking to His children, to His Church, to His sheep, to His elect, and He will be calling and gathering them in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and He will be showing them all these things that must shortly be done, all these things that must happen after these things that have already happened in these past stages or ages, which have been fulfilled in these last two thousand years that have passed.

And now, the things that must happen in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, and in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, Christ will make them known through His Angel Messenger.

Remember what Christ said here: “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

And now, let’s see through whom these things which must shortly be done are made known; for through whom Christ is manifested, He will be making known all these things which must shortly be done. 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 sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Who does He send to show His servants the things that must soon come to pass? His Angel Messenger, why? Because Christ in Holy Spirit comes in human flesh, He comes in His Angel Messenger, speaking to us these things that must happen soon; but people will be listening to the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, but the Word that will be spoken by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be the Word that Christ will be putting in His mouth.

Therefore, it will be the Voice of Christ, the Word of Christ through His Angel Messenger, which will be the mouth of Christ on this Earth in the Last Day; just as each angel messenger of each age was the mouth of Christ in each of these ages of the gentile Church, and through each one of them Christ spoke to His people and to every human being who lived in each of those ages.

And so it is for this end time. Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in His Angel Messenger, and He will be making known to His Church all these things that must happen soon; and He will also be speaking to all mankind, He will be making known to them everything that will happen in this end time.

He will be giving testimony of the divine judgments that are to come upon the human race for the tares to be burned; and he will also be speaking the things that must come to the elect of God, the divine blessings for the wheat, the children of the Kingdom, which are promised to be fulfilled, manifested, in the elect of God: which are the resurrection of the dead in Christ in eternal bodies, and the transformation of us who live, to have an eternal body, young, which will always be representing from 18 to 21 years of age.

An immortal body: that is the body that Christ has promised for each one of you and for me also, for the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, to give us that body, resurrecting the dead in Christ in eternal bodies, and transforming this body that we have.

We will be transformed, we will be changed in our atoms, and then we will no longer have this mortal body, but we will have an immortal body; because Christ will give us an immortal body, He will transform our body from the mortal to the immortal, from the corruptible to the incorruptible, from the temporary to the eternal.

That is what Christ has promised for His elect for this Last Day. And that is why He tells us: “Come up hither, and I will show you the things which must come to pass after these things.” And through His Angel Messenger He shows us all these things.

That is why He also says in Revelation, 22, verse 16:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Who is the one sent by Jesus Christ to bear witness of these things that must happen soon? The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the prophet messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone. And it is only through him that all these things that must shortly be done, in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, can be understood.

And that is how we would be hearing the Voice of Jesus Christ, and we would be obtaining the knowledge of all these things, and we would be being prepared to be transformed and raptured in this Last Day; and so we would be seeing Jesus Christ, the white horse Rider of Revelation, coming on a snow-white horse.

Now, are we not going to see Christ on a literal white horse? Let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says. And on page 277 and 256 of the book of The Seals, let’s see what it says, praying, he says on page 277, it says:¹²

“^[391]. …may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”

Who is the white horse Rider? The Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit.

And now let’s read on page 256 of the book of The Seals. He is quoting here what it says in Revelation, chapter 19, that there comes a Rider on a snow-white horse, it says:¹³

“^196. But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”

What will be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19? The Word of God incarnate in a man.

When the Word of God, the Word, came incarnated in a man two thousand years ago, His name was Jesus; it was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Holy Spirit in a man named Jesus; that was the Coming of the Word in human flesh.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we knew Him by the name of whom? Jesus, in His First Coming as the Lamb of God, taking away the sin of the world on Calvary’s Cross; and for His Second Coming will be again the Word incarnate in a man, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; that will be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19.

See how all those prophecies related to the Coming of Christ for the Last Day, all those symbols will be fulfilled; and what we will be seeing will be the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in human flesh: in a prophet, in a man; and that prophet, that man, is called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant, He is called the Angel… in other words, the Angel of the Covenant coming in a man; and that man in whom He comes in the Last Day is called the Angel of Jesus.

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Now, notice how the Angel of the Covenant comes: He comes in the Angel of Jesus, in the prophet messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is how He fulfills His Coming as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.

Now, John the apostle in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 9 to 10, and Revelation 22, verse 8 to 9, wanted to worship at the feet of the Angel of Jesus Christ; and he said to him: “Look, do not do it; for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren. Worship God.”

Why did he not want to accept John’s worship? Because a prophet does not accept the worship of any person. And he said to him: “Worship God,” why? “For such worshippers does the Father seek to worship Him”; for the Father will be worshiped (how?) in spirit and in truth; and such worshippers does the Father seek to worship Him.”¹⁴ So worship God.

The Angel said: “You cannot worship me, you must worship God; for I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets. Worship God.”

Who is this Angel? He is the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, he is a dispensational prophet with a dispensational Message, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. And the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around 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 that is why, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Angel of Jesus Christ reveals all these mysteries of the Second Coming of Christ, and shows us the Coming of Christ on a white horse, Christ in Holy Spirit coming on the pure Word, Christ coming with and on that white horse.

White represents purity, represents the pure Word of Christ, without dogmas, without creeds and without traditions, and without human interpretations.

Now, see how Christ comes in the Last Day: on a snow-white horse; and He will be completely Emmanuel: The Word of God incarnated in a man. And that man is called the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom, for this end time, for this Last Day that has begun, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind.

If we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already in the seventh millennium; and the seventh millennium is the Lord’s Day; for one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90, verse 4.

Now, we have seen the mystery of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19.

• Who is the one who rides that horse?

Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is the one who rides that horse. Christ in Holy Spirit manifested through His Angel Messenger comes in the Last Day with the pure Word, with the pure Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, preaching it to every human being living on this planet Earth, starting in Latin America and the Caribbean.

• Against whom is he judging and fighting?

Against the antichrist and his kingdom.

• Whom does this army that follows him also on white horses represent?

That is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ that lives in this time, and those who lived in the past ages, who will receive an eternal body, and will be in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

• What is the relationship with the white horse of Revelation, chapter 6: the white horse of Revelation, chapter 6, on which another man comes riding?

The other man who comes riding on that other horse is the antichrist, and he comes riding on dogmas, creeds and traditions; he comes on a mixed horse, with a mixture of politics, religion and demonic power. In other words, those three manifested powers, and in those three manifested powers, is that the antichrist comes in Revelation, chapter 6 and verse 2.

But in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, Christ comes on a snow-white horse, and is fully Emmanuel —the Word of God incarnate in a man.

All questions have been answered. And if any question has not been fully answered for some people, through the lectures that have already been preached, you can get more knowledge about this mystery of the Last Day, of the Coming of Christ on a snow-white horse.

Now, how would Christ come?

• It says on a white horse; it says Revelation, chapter 19.

• And Revelation, chapter 10, says in a cloud, wrapped in a cloud.

• Revelation, chapter 1, says in the clouds.

• Matthew 24 says in the clouds.

• Luke 21 says in a cloud.

• And also Daniel says, in chapter 7, in the clouds.

And what contradiction…? Or, is there any contradiction in His coming in a cloud or on a white horse? There is no contradiction; because all that is the Coming of Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger; all that is the Coming of the Word, Jesus Christ, in human flesh manifested in the Last Day.

That is Christ coming on a white horse, and Christ coming in a cloud; because that is how He fulfills all these things.

Now, coming in a cloud when He is shown in heaven, well, there we have it, He was seen in a cloud in heaven; but then on Earth He will be seen in human flesh, manifested in His Angel Messenger.

Do you see that there is no contradiction in the prophecies corresponding to the Second Coming of Christ?

Now, the important thing is that we can see behind the veil of flesh, as we also see what was inside that cloud.

Science saw, looked and saw nothing; it saw only a cloud, but it could not understand what it was composed of, it could not understand what was in that cloud. But when we have seen through what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said, we have seen that there were eight angels inside, we have seen that this cloud was formed by eight angels of God: the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the Church of Jesus Christ, and by the Angel who was very different from the others, who would come in human flesh in His Angel Messenger in the Last Day.

Now, we have seen the mystery of this cloud, of the Coming of Christ wrapped in a cloud. That is already history, that is already fulfilled; as the sign of the Son of Man was fulfilled for His First Coming, there in the midst of the Hebrew people when that Star appeared.

And now, the promise was that what would appear? A cloud in the sky; there you have it. And the next thing would be Christ in Holy Spirit, coming in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, to manifest Himself in the midst of His Church and make known to us all these things that must shortly be done, in the Last Day.

We have seen the mystery of the white horse of Revelation, chapter 19, in which Christ comes according to His promise; and that is the Coming of Christ in human flesh in the Last Day. And He comes in the pure Word and with the pure Word, riding on the pure Word of God.

It has been a very great privilege for me to be with you tonight, giving you testimony of: “THE MYSTERY OF THE WHITE HORSE OF REVELATION 19.”

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, be upon each one of you and upon me as well; and may we all soon be transformed and be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, in and to the House of our heavenly Father. In the Eternal Name of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, in the Eternal Name of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

May God continue to bless you all, and thank you very much for your kind attention.

I leave Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with you, to continue and finish our part tonight, thanking God for His blessings, and for letting us see and understand the Coming of Christ on that white horse.

May God bless you and keep you. And with us again the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin.
