The Mystery of the Fulfilled Prophecy

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to have fellowship around the Word of God, and thus, to see where we stand in the Divine Program, and thus, to receive the blessings of Heaven promised for this Last Day.

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY.”

And let’s read in Saint Luke chapter 4, verses 14 to 21, where it says the following:

“And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

Our subject is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY.”

This Bible passage that our beloved Lord Jesus Christ quoted is the prophecy of Isaiah chapter 61; and when Jesus read this passage up to the middle of verse 2, He stopped there. Why? Because the other half of that verse said:

“…And the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn…”

And since that is not to be fulfilled in the First Coming of Christ, Christ couldn’t read it on that occasion and say: “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears,” because He would fulfill up to the middle of that 2nd verse; because the other part pertains to the Second Coming of Christ.

Now, notice how when He read the prophecy that had to be fulfilled at that time, which was being fulfilled in Him, He read that Scripture and told the people: “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

That prophecy had been fulfilled before the people, and Jesus had to testify of that prophecy that was being fulfilled before the people, and of all the prophecies pertaining to that time that were being fulfilled.

Now, notice, the Hebrew people were blessed when they read the Scriptures and when they read these Messianic Scriptures pertaining to the Coming of the Messiah; but the full blessing contained in those Messianic prophecies were to be poured out upon the people when these prophecies were fulfilled.

And when the prophecy of the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled, God’s full blessing was there in human flesh, in the Person in whom that prophecy was being fulfilled.

And therefore, since He was the fulfilled prophecy, since He was the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah, He came to be the Light of the world. He said: “I am the Light of the world; and he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.” Chapter 8 of Saint John, verse 12: Christ testifies to us that He is the Light of the world, and that he who follows Him shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.

The Light of Life, notice, is Christ. It says in Saint John chapter 1, verses 1 and on, 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.

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.

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

He was not that Light,” (meaning, John the Baptist was not the Light), “but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

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

And when He came, He was known by the Name of Jesus; because He was the Word made flesh, who was among human beings. And that is why Jesus could say: “I am the Light of the world: and he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.”

It says:

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

Notice how the Word came into this world, being made flesh. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,” Saint John chapter 1, verse 14, tells us.

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

He came unto his own,” (meaning, 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.”

Now, notice how Christ, the Light of the world, the Word, when He was made flesh, dwelt among human beings, and we knew Him by the Name of Jesus. And when He read the Scripture of Isaiah chapter 61, we find Him reading that Scripture in Saint Luke chapter 4, verses 14 to 21, and we find that upon reading that prophetic Scripture, that Scripture which spoke of the Coming of the Messiah… because in the Old Testament, the Coming of the Messiah was spoken of as if It were only one, but no differentiation was made between the First Coming of Christ and His Second Coming.

Because the First Coming of Christ is as the Lamb of God, to take away the sin of the world by dying on Calvary’s Cross. And His Second Coming is as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Claiming Work, to claim everything He redeemed with His precious Blood: human beings and all of creation too.

Now, notice how, when the prophecy is fulfilled, the fulfillment of that prophecy brings all the Divine Blessings for which God has made that promise, that prophecy.

In Isaiah chapter 55, God speaks to us through the Prophet Isaiah, saying… verse 8 and on (8 to 11), says:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

Now, notice how the Word of God does not return to God void, but It accomplishes that for which God sent It; in other words, It fulfills what has been promised. And when what has been promised is fulfilled, it produces a result, it produces a benefit, it carries out a Divine Work that was promised for that time.

And now, notice the Word of prophecy that has been given by God, which Saint Peter talks to us about and tells us is like a light that shines in a dark place; he says (chapter 1, verse 19 and on, of Second Peter):

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

Now, notice that the prophecy cannot be interpreted in a human way, because God is His Own interpreter; and God is the One who brought those prophecies through His Holy Spirit to the prophets, and through the prophets to the people; and God is the One who can make known to us the meaning of those prophecies. And when God fulfills those prophecies, that is where we have God’s interpretation of those prophecies.

When He fulfilled the prophecies of the First Coming of the Messiah, we find that Jesus of Nazareth was the interpretation of the Messianic promises of the First Coming of the Messiah; and that is why He could say: “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears,” because the fulfillment of the Scripture’s prophecies is God’s interpretation of It; and that interpretation given by God stands tall and testifies that the Scripture is fulfilled.

And when people can take the Scripture, not only in letter form, but the fulfilled Scripture, the fulfillment of that Scripture, the person receives the Divine Blessing promised for that time, for the fulfillment of those Scriptures, for the fulfillment of those prophecies.

And now, notice where God’s blessing was in the time of Jesus. Where was God’s blessing in the time of Jesus? It was in Jesus Christ. And everyone who said they believed the Scriptures was called to receive the fulfillment of the Scripture in the Person of Jesus, the fulfillment of the Messianic Scripture pertaining to that time.

And everyone, notice, who has received the fulfillment of the prophetic Scripture in the Person of Jesus, the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah, has been blessed.

That is also how it will be for the fulfillment of the promise of the Second Coming of Christ, because people will receive the blessings promised for the Second Coming of Christ, which are: being called and gathered with the Great Voice of Trumpet under the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet promised at the Last Day.

Christ Jesus, our beloved Savior, tells us in Saint Matthew chapter 24, verses 30 to 31:

“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.”

Here we have the promise of the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and of the Coming of the Son of man in the clouds or in a cloud. And we also have the promise of the ministry of the Angels of the Lord being sent by Jesus Christ with the Great Sound of a Trumpet, in other words, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. What for? To call and gather together the elect who will be alive at the Last Day.

Now, we have seen that there is the promise of a sign in heaven, and this sign in heaven will be seen by human beings, and the Son of man will be seen coming in a cloud.

In Revelation chapter 10, verse 1 and on, we find the Mighty Angel, Jesus Christ, coming clothed with a cloud, with His face as the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire or like fine brass, and with a little Book open in His hand, and setting His right foot upon the sea, and His left foot on the Earth.

Notice, this is the promise of the Coming of Christ in the clouds, and then the Second Coming of Christ must be fulfilled on Earth; because just as there was a sign in heaven for the First Coming of Christ… and it was what we now know as the star of Bethlehem.

The wise men who came from the East, that is, from the territory of Babylon, looking for the Messiah, had seen that sign in heaven, they had understood that it was the sign of the Son of man in His Coming; and they came to the land of Israel in search of the Messiah, because they had seen that star in the heavens, that star was pointing to the territory of Israel.

And now, notice how these wise men knew that the Messiah was already on Earth: because the sign of the Coming of the Messiah was already in heaven.

The Scripture said that “there would come a Star out of Jacob;”¹ and there was a star in the sky, a sign in heaven, testifying that the Messiah was on Earth.

Now, how many people realized that the Messiah was on Earth? Very few people; because they didn’t understand that this sign in heaven meant the Messiah was already on Earth.

Notice that neither the high priest, nor the members of the Sanhedrin Council (which were the members of the Hebrew religion, of the Council of the Hebrew religion), they didn’t notice that sign in heaven; they didn’t understand that this was the sign of the Son of man appearing in heaven, testifying that the Son of man, the Messiah, Christ, was already on Earth.

The First Coming of Christ was already on Earth, because the veil of flesh where the First Coming of Christ would be fulfilled was already on Earth, being born in Bethlehem of Judea. Notice, that sign was in heaven for approximately two years, testifying that the Messiah was already on Earth.

Now, notice how the religious people of that time didn’t notice, except very few people, like those wise men who were in Babylon, who were descendants of Hebrews.

The Prophet Daniel had lived in Babylon and he had been a very important person in Babylon, therefore, the prophecies of the Prophet Daniel were there in Babylon; and those who were descendants of Daniel and other Hebrews who had been taken captive in the time of Babylon, believed in the prophecies of the Coming of the Messiah. Therefore, there were people living in Babylon who were waiting for the Coming of the Messiah, and they knew the Messiah would come in and to the land of Israel.

Now, notice how that sign was fulfilled in heaven; and the high priest and the great leaders of the Hebrew religion did not even realize that was the sign that the Messiah was already on Earth.

And now, how will it be at the Last Day, at the end time, when we have the promise that the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven? How many will notice that sign? How many will recognize that sign in heaven?

Now, notice that it tells us that the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and it says:

“…And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

Now, notice that this sign will be testifying of the Coming of Christ, the Mighty Angel, up in the heavens, in the clouds, so that this promise is then fulfilled here on Earth, as it is written in all the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ.

Notice, in reference to the promises of the Second Coming of Christ, the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ, some of them tell us that He will come in the clouds or in a cloud. Since the Old Testament, we have been told about the Coming of the Son of man in the clouds. Daniel chapter 7, verses 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.”

Here we have the Coming of the Son of man in the clouds. It says:

“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 have the promise of the Coming of the Son of man coming in the clouds. We also have the promise of the Son of man coming as a Stone cut out without hands, which was cut out of the mountain, as King Nebuchadnezzar saw, and as the Prophet Daniel saw and interpreted to him.

It says that Stone cut out without hands came and smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay.

Chapter 2, verses 34 to 45 of Daniel, that is where we find the interpretation that God gave the Prophet Daniel, to give to King Nebuchadnezzar, regarding the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar saw (which represents the Gentile kingdom) and the Coming of that Stone cut out without hands (which is the Second Coming of Christ). It is the Second Coming of Christ because It smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay.

The First Coming of Christ was in the legs of iron; and the legs of iron, meaning, the Roman empire, was the one that smote Christ on Calvary’s Cross.

And now, notice that Gentile empire represented in that statue, with the head of gold (which represents the empire or kingdom of King Nebuchadnezzar), and the breast and arms of silver (which represents the Medo-Persian kingdom or empire), and then the belly and thighs of brass (which represents the Greek empire, of which Alexander the Great was the top leader)… then we have the legs of iron (which is the Roman empire), and the feet of iron and clay, which is the empire that the antichrist will be ruling at the end time, where the antichrist will force people to serve him and to do according to his will.

Now, let’s see how it is at the feet of iron and clay, where the beast will be; and he will receive dominion, control, power, from the ten kings who will give him their power and strength so that he rules; but notice, they will make war with the Lamb, with Christ, and Christ will overcome them. Revelation chapter 17, verse 13 to 14, says:

“These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

Because the members of the mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ are the ones that are with Christ, with the Lamb. But notice how the beast and those ten kings will make war with Christ and the elect of Jesus Christ; but Jesus Christ will overcome them, for He is King of kings and Lord of lords.

In His Second Coming, Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, will overcome; because people will be living at the feet of iron and of clay in the Gentile kingdom, and the beast will control that kingdom.

Now, notice how this end time in which we are living is when these prophecies must be fulfilled, and some of them have already been fulfilled.

And notice how Revelation chapter 10, verse 1 and on, 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 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 Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He comes crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders utter their Voices. It is the Voice of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, it is the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church, to His people, and making known to Her the mystery of the Seventh Seal, making known to Her the mystery of His Coming at this Last Day.

Now, notice how He appears in the clouds here, it says:

“…Clothed with a cloud…”

Now, many people wonder: Does He come as a stone? Or does He come in the clouds? Or does He come on a white horse? Because in Revelation 19, verse 11 and on, 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.”

It is the Coming of the Word at the Last Day, just like in the days of Jesus it was the Coming of the Word made flesh with His Name of Redemption: Jesus. It was the Word manifested in human flesh in the days of Jesus of Nazareth.

And that is why Christ testified that every promise relevant to the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in Him. He could say of all the promises of the First Coming of Christ, He could say: “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears;” not only regarding this Scripture that He read, but all the others that spoke about the First Coming of Christ.

And now, for the Second Coming of Christ we have the promise that He comes in the clouds; we also have the promise that He comes on a white horse; and we have the promise that He comes as a Stone cut out without hands.

Now, notice that the sign of the Son of man will be see in the clouds, a sign which is promised in the Scripture, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament: it is promised in Daniel’s prophecies, and also in the prophecies given by Jesus Christ, and also in the prophecies of Revelation.

And now, everyone must be aware that a sign will appear in heaven, a cloud, where the Son of man will be.

Now, notice how Saint Luke expresses this in chapter 21, verse 27 and on, 27 to 28; he 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.”

“Your redemption draweth nigh,” in other words, your transformation, the redemption of the body, to have the eternal body, that is near; and to have the resurrection of the dead in Christ in eternal bodies.

Now, Saint Luke tells us that the Son of man comes in a cloud. On February 28, 1963, they took this picture of this cloud, or they took a few pictures of this mysterious cloud, which appeared twenty-six miles high, measuring thirty miles across by fifty miles long,² in the Arizona skies.

Now, science wasn’t able to decipher the mystery of this cloud, and that is why they published that it was a mysterious cloud.³

What is the mystery of this cloud? The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says that he was caught up by seven angels who came to where he was, because he was hunting in the mountains of Tucson, Arizona, and he was caught away by these angels, and he was taken to this cloud.

This cloud, he says, is formed by angels of God. He says that these angels are the seven angel-messengers of the seven Gentile Church ages, and that there is another Angel there, who is very different from those seven angel-messengers of the seven Gentile Church ages.

And referring to that Angel who is very different from the rest (who is here), notice, this Angel who is here, flying with His sharp wings, is the Angel who was very different from the rest; the rest are these right here, which were the seven angels of the seven Gentile Church ages.

If we turn this picture to the right, we will see that it forms the Lord’s face. And in forming the Lord’s face, the seven angel-messengers of the seven ages form the Lord’s beard, and the Angel who was different from the rest forms the Lord’s white hair.

We find that in Revelation chapter 1, it shows us the Son of man, Jesus Christ, with white hair. It says (chapter 1, verse 1 and on):

“And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle,” (having a golden girdle around the paps or chest shows Him as the Judge of all the Earth).

“His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow.”

Now, here Jesus Christ, the Son of man, appears with His white hair, but it’s not because it has already been two thousand years since He was here on Earth and His hair has turned white because of His age, no. What we find here in the Son of man are the symbols of the things He will be manifesting; therefore, these symbols will be fulfilled.

For example, we have the symbol of the beard here, fulfilled under the ministry of the seven angel-messengers of the seven Gentile Church ages. And the Lord’s white hair (here) is formed by the Angel who was very different from the rest. And under the ministry of this Angel-Messenger here on Earth, in human flesh, the symbol of the white hair of the Lord Jesus Christ will be fulfilled, which represents: maturity, experience, and wisdom to judge this world.

And here we find that this Angel-Messenger is the One with the Seventh Seal, as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says. And since He has the Seventh Seal (and the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ), this is the Angel who—with His Coming to Earth and by being manifested in human flesh—fulfills the Second Coming of Christ, which was not fulfilled in any of the seven ages through the seven angel-messengers. Because the Coming of the Angel who was very different from the rest, manifested in human flesh in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, is required for the white hair of the Lord Jesus Christ to be fulfilled (for that type and figure to be fulfilled), and thus, for Christ to fulfill His promises for this Last Day.

And Christ coming at this Last Day, just as He came to each age in and through each angel-messenger of each age… He came to His Church in each age, and He revealed to each angel-messenger the Message of his age; and through each angel-messenger, He spoke to the people, and He called and gathered His elect in each age.

In order to be a part of Saint Paul’s group, the person had to come into the Ephesian Age, represented in the church of Ephesus, he had to come into that first age by believing in Christ as our Savior and receiving the Spirit of Jesus Christ. And now, notice how it would be under the ministry of Saint Paul, the first angel-messenger, of the first age of the Gentile Church, which was fulfilled in Asia Minor.

The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth [ages] were fulfilled in Europe, in different European territories, where God sent five angel-messengers, each one for each age that was fulfilled in Europe. And through those angel-messengers, Christ called His elect of those ages and of those territories.

It was the fulfillment of the Divine Promise of the Spirit of God running to and fro through the whole Earth, the seven spirits of God running to and fro through the whole Earth, which is the Spirit of Jesus Christ going through all these territories through these angel-messengers. They were the seven stars in the hand of the Son of man, they were the seven Spirits of God, they were the seven burning lamps too, along with the seven Gentile Church ages.⁴

And now, for the seventh age or stage of the Gentile Church, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit goes on to North America, where He manifested Himself through His angel-messenger, Rev. William Marrion Branham; and through him, He called and gathered His elect of that seventh stage or age.

And we find that after that, He went to Latin America and the Caribbean; and through His Angel-Messenger in Latin America and the Caribbean, Jesus Christ, the Mighty Angel (who is up here), comes down to Earth, manifests Himself in Latin America and the Caribbean through His Angel-Messenger, to call and gather His Latin American and Caribbean elect, to thus form the Age of the Cornerstone, the Age of Love Divine, the age that has the promises of the Coming of this Angel with His Angels, with Moses and Elijah, which are the Angels of the Son of man; and with the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, for the call to God’s elect of the Last Day, for the call to God’s elect who will go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ will be speaking through His Angel-Messenger, and will be making known to us all these things which must shortly be done, at this Last Day.

If we add to the calendar the years it is behind, then we are already in the seventh millennium; therefore, we are already at the Last Day. But if we leave the calendar exactly as it is (although it is behind), then there are only about three years left for the sixth millennium to end and for the seventh millennium to begin.

But could God’s calendar have fallen behind? The human calendar is behind because they made a few changes to it; but as for God’s: who could make changes to God’s calendar? No one. Therefore, if God’s calendar has not fallen behind, then we are already at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium; and therefore, we are at the time in which the prophecies of the Last Day must be fulfilled.

And we have the prophecy of the sign of the Son of man in heaven, here we have the prophecy of the cloud that would appear in heaven, where the Son of man would be, where Christ would be. And that is the Angel who was very different from the rest, who must come to Earth and manifest Himself in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger, and call and gather His elect through His Angel-Messenger, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, and in the territory pertaining to that prophecy.

And which is the territory pertaining to that prophecy? Since the elect of the Last Day belong to the Holy of Holies of the spiritual Temple of Christ, just as the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built had the holy of holies in the West, the spiritual Temple of Christ also has Its Holy of Holies in the West.

And since the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church have already been fulfilled in Asia Minor, Europe, and North America, only Latin America and the Caribbean is left for Christ to fulfill the Holy of Holies, to build the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple out of Latin American and Caribbean people.

Notice the great blessing that the Latin American and Caribbean people have been given. Among the Latin American and Caribbean people, God has the living stones, the elect, which He would call at this Last Day, and gather together, and put in His spiritual Temple, in His Church, and He would put them in the Holy of Holies. Out of them, He would build the Holy of Holies, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ would be manifested in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger, where Christ, the Mighty Angel, the Angel who was very different from the rest, would be seen here in this cloud.

We have seen the fulfillment of the sign of the Son of man in heaven, we have seen the Son of man in this cloud.

And now it’s up to every human being to see the Coming of the Son of man to Earth, manifested in His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.

Notice, here in Revelation chapter 1, verses 10 to 11, it says:

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day,” (where was John? On the Lord’s Day, meaning, in the seventh millennium), “and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,” (what did he hear? A Great Voice as of a trumpet).

Now, notice that John was on the Lord’s Day in this vision; meaning, his physical body was there on the Isle of Patmos, but he was transported in spirit, in his theophanic body, in his spirit, he was transported to the Last Day, meaning, to the seventh millennium; and he heard this Great Voice of Trumpet:

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

Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

John heard the Voice of Christ on the Lord’s Day, meaning, here: in the Age of the Cornerstone, as a Great Voice of Trumpet. He didn’t hear It here, but rather, up here, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and he heard It there as a Great Voice of Trumpet.

And now, let’s see what this Great Voice of Trumpet promises. Revelation chapter 4, we find the Voice of Christ as a Trumpet there again, and 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.”

What does He promise here? Well, to make known to us the things that will happen after these things that have already happened during these two thousand years that have passed. After these things that have taken place in the seven Gentile Church ages, there are things that must happen in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone.

And now, He tells us: “Come up hither.” Where? To the Age of the Cornerstone; because He is no longer in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh ages; because the messengers through whom Christ was manifested here on Earth in each age have already gone, their days here on Earth have ended, and they are already in Paradise with their people.

And now, all that’s left for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the manifestation of Christ through His Angel-Messenger, the manifestation of the Angel who was very different from the rest, of Christ through His Angel-Messenger, the Angel of the Dispensation of the Kingdom. The Angel of Jesus Christ is a dispensational prophet, who is sent at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, for the change of dispensation, the change from the Dispensation of Grace to the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

Through the ministry of Christ through His Angel-Messenger, the overlap between the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Dispensation of Grace will be made; and the overlap between the Message of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Message of the Dispensation of Grace will be made. In other words, there is an interlace there, an overlap, within the time of the ministry of the Angel who was very different from the rest.

At the time of the ministry of this Angel in human flesh through the Angel of Jesus Christ, that overlap will be taking place, in which God’s elect are called and gathered up in the Age of the Cornerstone, to hear all these things which must shortly be done, at the Last Day.

And now, notice how Christ said: “Come up hither. Come up hither and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.”

This diagram of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ was prepared by Rev. William Marrion Branham, and he used it in the message “The Stature Of A Perfect Man,” and in the message An Exposition Of The Seven [Gentile] Church Ages; and he also made reference to this diagram in other messages.

And now, notice how Christ has been speaking from age to age: through each angel-messenger in each age, and in the territory where each age has been fulfilled.

And now, in the Age of the Cornerstone, Christ would be speaking through His Angel-Messenger. And what would He have to be speaking? Well He would be making known to us all these things which must shortly be done in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone.

And let’s see how and through whom He makes known to us all these things which must shortly be done; because the one through whom He makes these things known to us: that is the Angel sent for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, that is the instrument of Jesus Christ for the Last Day.

Let’s see who this instrument is. Revelation chapter 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 has He sent to show us these things which must shortly be done? His Angel-Messenger. Notice through whom Christ fulfills the promise that He will make known to us all these things which must shortly be done.

And thus, He will make known to us all these prophecies that would be fulfilled at this Last Day. And He would be making known to us the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ at the Last Day, the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and we would be seeing the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel-Messenger, and through His Angel-Messenger, He would be making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.

So, here we have the promise of the Angel-Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ being sent to make known to us all these things which must shortly be done. In other words, the human being won’t understand all the things which must come to pass by intellectual means, the human won’t understand the Second Coming of Christ by intellectual means, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ that will come through His Angel-Messenger.

There is no other way for us to be able to understand all these things which must shortly come to pass at the Last Day and in the Age of the Cornerstone, except through the Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ, testifying all these things to us, making known to us all these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. That is the only clear and sure way for us to know these mysteries being fulfilled at this Last Day.

Now, there will be people who will rise against what the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saying, but he won’t even pay attention to them; because all those who rise against the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be rising against Jesus Christ, who is the One sending him.

Because notice, on one occasion, Christ said: “Whoever receives one of these, My little ones, one of such children, shall receive Me; and whoever receives Me, receives Him that sent Me.”⁵ Now, whoever rejects him is therefore rejecting Jesus Christ.

Now notice, in Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, again Christ says:

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

He sends His Angel-Messenger to testify to all the churches these things which must shortly be done. He is the one sent by the Lord Jesus Christ, and he is the One anointed by Jesus Christ, by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, to speak—being inspired by the Holy Spirit—all these things which must shortly come to pass.

And will there be people who receive him? Of course there will. “He that is of God hears God’s Voice.”⁶ And Christ said: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me.”⁷

Who will receive Him, hear Him, and believe His Message? All the sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Last Day. And they will be gathered in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and they will obtain 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 Claiming Work, and they will receive the benefits of the Second Coming of Christ; and that is how we will be prepared to be changed and raptured at this Last Day.

Now, notice that the prophecy has not come by will of man, but holy men of God—God’s prophets—spoke as they were moved by God.

They have always had both consciouses together and that is why they can hear God’s Voice in another dimension, the sixth dimension, and they can obtain the Divine Revelation from the sixth dimension; and bring that Divine Revelation, that Word which is in the sixth dimension, they can bring It; because that Word has come from the seventh dimension, It has gone to the sixth dimension, and there, in the sixth dimension, God’s prophet catches It, and from there, he brings It to this earthly dimension and speaks It to human beings.

And since the Word of God has been spoken, that Word must be fulfilled, It must be materialized in terms of what that Word means before God. Not in terms of the human being’s interpretation, but in terms of what that Word means before God; because It is God’s thought that has been expressed, to later be fulfilled on this Earth. And the fulfillment of that promise, of those prophecies, is God’s interpretation of His Word which has been spoken.

Now, notice how the mystery of the fulfilled prophecies is the mystery that people haven’t understood when each prophecy has been fulfilled. And that is the time to obtain the full benefit of those prophecies that have been spoken.

For this Last Day, just like for the days of Jesus, there are many prophecies, and greater prophecies, that must be fulfilled; and many have already been fulfilled. We have seen the sign of the Son of man in heaven.

Now, anyone may say: “But I had never heard of that sign.” But notice, it’s in the Bible. And now, notice, it was fulfilled on February 28, 1963.

Now, anyone may say: “I have been to such a church and they haven’t said anything about that.” Well look, if you go to any synagogue, you will listen, and listen, and listen for years and years, and they will never say that the Star that appeared in Bethlehem was the sign of the First Coming of the Messiah, and it has already been two thousand years since that happened.

Only how many years have passed since this sign in heaven? Just thirty-four years.

But notice, among the believers in Jesus Christ, we find that they have spoken of that sign that appeared for the birth of Jesus Christ. And among those who will be called and gathered at the Last Day by Jesus Christ through His Angel-Messenger, Christ manifested through His Angel-Messenger, calling them and gathering them with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, they will hear about the fulfillment of this sign of Saint Matthew chapter 24, verses 30 to 31, and of Revelation chapter 10, and other passages in the Scripture.

Now, notice that those who obtain the knowledge of the prophetic mysteries are the only ones who know, who recognize the fulfillment of those mysteries, and can identify those prophecies by the fulfillment of those Divine Mysteries.

Now, notice how prophecies are being fulfilled for our time, great prophecies, and there are people who still don’t know that countless prophecies pertaining to this end time have already been fulfilled.

Now, it is very important to understand that only through the ministry and Message of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in which Christ will manifest Himself in Holy Spirit, we will be able to obtain the knowledge of all these things which must come to pass, and we will be able to obtain the knowledge of the fulfillment of all these things that are promised to take place at this Last Day.

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” That is what Jesus Christ says in Revelation chapter 22, verse 16.

And now, notice how the elect in the Age of the Cornerstone, the elect are granted to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven pertaining to the Last Day, which will be fulfilled.

The rest of mankind will not notice the fulfillment of these mysteries; because in order to understand the fulfillment of these mysteries, people must go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, where they are being made known at this Last Day, and where the ministry of Jesus Christ through His Angel-Messenger is, and where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifests the ministry of Moses for the second time and Elijah for the fifth time, through His Angel-Messenger.

Now, we can see that the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are to be made known to God’s elect, who are the ones that form part of the mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Notice, in *Matthew chapter 13, verse 10 and on, it says the following:

“And the disciples came,” (to Jesus), “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.”

Notice, some are granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, and others are not granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Now, those who are granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are blessed, because those people are the ones who will be able to see the fulfillment of the Divine Promises at the time in which they are given to live.

Notice how Christ says to His disciples, He says… in the same 13th chapter, verse 16 and on, He says:

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

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

Now, notice that those simple people (many of them were carpenters, others were farmers, and so on) were not very important people, but they were seeing the greatest thing that could be seen at that time.

Carpenters and farmers were seeing the First Coming of the Messiah, which was the greatest event promised for that time; they were seeing the Messiah in His Coming. What were they seeing? They were seeing the prophecy fulfilled in a young carpenter from Nazareth (the Messianic prophecy, the prophecy of the First Coming of the Messiah). And what were they hearing? They were hearing the Messiah preaching the Message of good tidings, of good news, the news of the Acceptable Year of the Lord.

And now, notice how those who were able to see and understand the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah were simple people. The First Coming of the Messiah was promised to be fulfilled among the Hebrew people.

And now, notice how at the Last Day we have the promise of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, and we find that all of Christianity is waiting for the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ.

But notice, the sign of the Son of man was already seen in Heaven. And afterwards, this Angel who was very different from the rest, at the Last Day, must be manifested on Earth in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, having the ministry of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and operating in him (in the Angel of Jesus Christ) the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time, and Jesus for the second time. That is what this Angel, who is very different from the rest, does when he comes to Earth in human flesh in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And that is how Christ visits His Church at this Last Day, just as He visited His Church from age to age through human flesh in the angel-messenger of each age and in the territory pertaining to each age.

And now, the territory pertaining to the Coming of the Mighty Angel in human flesh is Latin America and the Caribbean. That is the territory for the Age of the Cornerstone and to open the Dispensation of the Kingdom at this Last Day. Latin America and the Caribbean is the territory where Christ completes the number of His Church, the number of the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is completed with the elect of the Age of the Cornerstone. And once She is complete, the dead in Christ will rise, and we who are alive will be changed. And we will be here on Earth for thirty to forty days, in a manifestation that God will have through His elect here on Earth; and then we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to the House of our Heavenly Father. And we will enjoy it there for three and a half years, while the Earth will be going through the Great Tribulation.

Now, we have reached the time where we must see THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY at this Last Day, because all the elect who will be changed and raptured will be seeing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, of the Mighty Angel, seeing that mystery fulfilled at the Last Day. This is how the elect of the Last Day will be; and this is in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

That is why the call of Christ (in Revelation chapter 4) is: “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.”

And through His Angel-Messenger, in Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, He shows us all these things which must happen; because His Angel-Messenger is His instrument, His Prophet-Messenger for the Age of the Cornerstone and for the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

And all of this is to be fulfilled, where? Well, in Latin America and the Caribbean, among the Latin American and Caribbean people. We are at the time of the fulfilled prophecy, we are at the time in which He has sent His Angel to testify to us these things which must shortly come to pass.

Today, in our age, the Age of the Cornerstone, and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, this Scripture is fulfilled; and many other Scriptures are fulfilled. And in the Age of the Cornerstone, among the Latin American and Caribbean people, we have the blessing of Jesus Christ.

The blessing of Christ is no longer in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh age, nor in the territories where those ages were fulfilled, rather, it is in Latin America and the Caribbean, where Christ in Holy Spirit has gone to manifest Himself through His Angel-Messenger and make known to us all these things which must shortly be done at this end time.

And the great surprise, the great mystery of the elect of the Last Day, who would hear the Voice of Christ, is something that surprises all mankind: that the elect of the Last Day, who would hear the Great Voice of Trumpet and be gathered, would be Latin American and Caribbean people. And that truly was a mystery! But now this mystery is open.

And this prophecy is currently being fulfilled, and the Latin American and Caribbean people written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world are being called and being gathered in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and they are hearing all these things which must shortly come to pass at this Last Day.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY.”

Notice, there are countless mysteries that are already fulfilled.

And now, notice how these mysteries are being fulfilled, and how God had included the Latin American and the Caribbean people at the end time in these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.

And that is why He would open the understanding and the heart of the Latin American and Caribbean people to receive the teaching of Jesus Christ through His Angel-Messenger making known to them all these things which must shortly be done; and thus, for all of God’s elect among the Latin American and Caribbean people to be called and gathered. And if someone has gone to another continent or to another nation, the Message will reach them all the way over there too; because if his name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, God will call him wherever he is.

But God is carrying out the Work in Latin America and the Caribbean. That is the territory of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, that is the territory of the manifestation of Christ through His Angel-Messenger at this Last Day.

We have reached the time of the fulfilled prophecy, and we have seen what THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY is. And we have seen that whenever God fulfills a prophecy: He fulfills it in a simple way; whenever He fulfills a promise He has made to His people. And when He makes a greater promise, He fulfills it in a simpler way.

Notice, among the Hebrew people back then, how many could imagine that the First Coming of Christ would be in a young carpenter from Nazareth? That was not in the theological explanations or interpretations of the great wise and prudent among the Hebrew people, because God had hidden these things regarding the First Coming of Christ (and the things regarding the Second Coming of Christ) from the wise and prudent in religious matters, which were the theologians and doctors of divinity of the Hebrew religion; and likewise, in the Second Coming of Christ, the doctors of theology, doctors of divinity.

Now, notice how in their theological interpretations, they never had the interpretation that the First Coming of Christ would be fulfilled in a young carpenter from Nazareth; the doctors of theology didn’t even have that in mind; but it was fulfilled the way God had thought of.

And now, what if Christ fulfills His Second Coming similar to the First Coming? What if He sends us a carpenter or a construction worker, and fulfills His promise, the prophecy of the Last Day, in a construction worker? Will that be in the theological interpretations of the great wise and prudent religious people of the Christian religion and the Hebrew religion? Let them answer that, because they are the ones who know whether they have foreseen that; because the great wise and prudent of the Hebrew people in the First Coming of Christ did not foresee that.

Now, Christ will fulfill His promise among His people, among the heavenly Israel, which is His Church, at this Last Day. And He will be manifested here on Earth, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass. And through His Angel-Messenger, He will show us all these things which must shortly come to pass, and thus, He will be revealing to us 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 Claiming Work.

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

Today, this Scripture, this promise, is fulfilled. It is a fulfilled promise. This day is this Scripture fulfilled before us at the Last Day, at this Last Day! This day is this Scripture fulfilled, and many more Scriptures that go along with this Scripture.

So, notice how important the fulfilled prophecy is, because when the prophecy is fulfilled we can receive the benefits of that prophecy.

For example, you could read: “I Jesus have sent My Angel to testify unto you these things in the churches,” and you could read: “And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His Angel to manifest unto His servants the things which must shortly be done,” and you could only obtain those Scriptures that are here in the Book of Revelation symbolically.

But in the fulfillment of this promise, of the Coming of this Angel in human flesh, we can obtain the knowledge of all the Divine Promises pertaining to the end time.

And through the teaching of the Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ making known all these things to us, we can obtain the knowledge of all these prophecies, and their fulfillment, as they are being fulfilled, including the main one, which is the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Claiming Work; and all the others revolve around that prophecy, because that is the main one.

And no one will be able to know the Second Coming of Christ unless it’s by the Message of the Angel of Jesus Christ making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.

And no one can be changed and raptured without first receiving the knowledge of these things which must shortly come to pass, through the Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ.

And no one can be changed or raptured without knowing the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Claiming Work, in THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY.

It has been a great privilege to be with you tonight, testifying to you about: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY.”

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and also upon me. And soon may we all be changed and raptured, and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, and may Jesus Christ our Savior continue to bless you.

I will leave Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín with us again to continue and conclude tonight by thanking Jesus Christ for His blessings to us in Latin America and the Caribbean.

May God bless you and keep you all. Have a good evening.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLED PROPHECY.”
