The Mystery of the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness

First Paulista Youth Meeting: “The Mystery of the Harvest of the Last Day”

Good evening, beloved youth, and also adults and children, in this First Paulista Youth Meeting: “The Mystery of the Harvest of the Last Day.” It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God.

We will be seeing the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD AS THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

For this reason, I want to read in Malachi chapter 4, verse 1 and on, where it says:

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

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.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.”

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

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD AS THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 

Notice how, through the Prophet Malachi, it speaks to us here about the Coming of the Sun of Righteousness rising; this is the Second Coming of Christ.

According to the Divine Promises, we find that Jesus Christ 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,” (meaning, the Light of Eternal Life).¹

We find that Jesus Christ took Peter, James, and John on Mount Transfiguration; and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun.² There He was showing the vision of what the Second Coming of Christ will be.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, in the Message An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages, tells us on pages 62 to 63, speaking to us about what took place on Mount Transfiguration, he says:

“‘There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.’ And the three apostles did see just that — the order of His second coming,” (what did they see on Mount Transfiguration? The order of the Second Coming of Christ). “They saw Him transfigured there on the mountain top. His raiment was blazing white and His face shone like the sun at its zenith. And there as He appeared, stood Moses and Elijah on either side. That is exactly how He is coming again. Truly Elijah will first come and turn the hearts of the children (bride) back to the fathers’ Apostolic Word Doctrine.”

Now we can see the order of the Second Coming of Christ shown on Mount Transfiguration.

That was the vision where Christ showed the order of the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels at the Last Day; there, He showed the Coming of the Son of man in the Glory of His Father, and in the Kingdom of His Father, and with His Angels.

And notice, on Mount Transfiguration, the face of the Lord Jesus Christ shone as the sun; and that shows us something very important: the sun is the king of the stars, and Jesus Christ in His Second Coming is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Now, notice what the forerunner says on page 62 of this same Book, An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages, he says:

“That day is coming soon. The fig tree has put forth her buds. The Israelites are waiting for the Messiah. They are expecting Him and their expectations are about to be fulfilled. Israel will be reborn Spiritually, for her Light and her Life are about to be revealed to her.”

Now, let’s look further on, where he tells us:

“There it is again. The SUN shining out in all its strength. Oh, the strength of the Son of God shining in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. There He stands, the Judge, the One who suffered and died for us. He took the wrath of Divine judgment upon Himself. He tread the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of (Almighty) God alone.”

Now, notice how He also appears in Revelation chapter 1 with His countenance or face as the sun: He appears in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; because He is the same Jesus Christ who has been journeying from age to age in the midst of His Church.

And at the Last Day, Jesus Christ, the Son of man, appears with His face as the sun among His Church: He appears as King of kings and Lord of lords among His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Sun; just as the seven ages of the Gentile Church were the ages of the Moon, going through Her different stages.

And the Church of Jesus Christ was clothed with the moon during the seven Gentile Church ages; but in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Church will be clothed with the Sun, because it will be on the morning of a new dispensational Day and on the morning of a new millennial Day.

And when does the sun appear? When does it rise? In the morning.

The Prophet Malachi says: “Unto those that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise.” That speaks to us about the beginning of a new Day, a new dispensational Day, in other words, the beginning of the morning of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and it also speaks to us about the morning, meaning, the beginning, of the new seventh millennial Day, of which Jesus Christ said: “And I will raise them up at the Last Day,”³ which is the seventh millennium and which is also the Lord’s Day.

On the Lord’s Day, in the seventh millennium, is when Christ—at the beginning of that new millennial Day—reveals Himself with His face as the sun, in other words, as King of kings and Lord of lords.

That is why on Mount Transfiguration, Christ appears with His face as the sun; and in Revelation chapter 1, verse 16, we also find Him with His countenance as the sun:

“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.”

There we have the Son of man, His face shining as the sun.

And in Revelation chapter 10, verse 1 and on, we find Jesus Christ, the Mighty Angel, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, coming down from Heaven, clothed with a cloud and His face as the sun.

Let’s see and read Revelation chapter 10, verse 1 and on, where 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,” (What was His face like? 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 why does He cry as when a lion roars? Because He comes as King.

And He, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, to claim His Throne and everything He has redeemed with His Blood; and to sit on the Throne of David, and reign a thousand years and then for all eternity.

He is the Heir to the Throne; and God will give Him the Throne, as Saint Luke chapter 1, verse 30 and on, says. This is the moment when the Archangel Gabriel appeared and spoke to Mary, saying:

“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David,” (to whom will God give the Throne of David? To Jesus Christ).

“And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”

Here we have the promise of the Throne of David, to be given to Jesus Christ: to sit on the Throne of David and reign over the House of Jacob, over the Hebrew people, for a thousand years and for all eternity; because of His Kingdom there shall be no end.

Now we can see the promise of the reign of the Messiah: it is the Millennial Kingdom, and then for all eternity.

Sitting on the Throne of David, He will reign over the Hebrew people throughout the Millennium; and we will reign with Christ a thousand years, as descendants of Jesus Christ, and therefore, as descendants of Abraham: Abraham’s heavenly seed which comes through Christ and which has the Birthright Blessing to obtain the Kingdom of God.

That is why the Kingdom of God will be restored and we will reign with Christ, because we will receive the inheritance of the Kingdom and of everything Adam and Eve lost, and the Hebrew people lost as well.

Now we can see that as heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, we are also heirs to everything Christ is heir to.

We have come to this earthly dimension, but we have come from another dimension: we have come from the seventh dimension; for we were with God eternally and in God eternally. And just as Jesus came from God, we have also come from God through Jesus Christ.

And now, notice, when Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s Cross, we were also dying with Him there; when Jesus Christ rose, we were rising with Him; and when Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, we also ascended to Heaven with Him; and that is why we are sitting in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, our Lord.⁴

And now, He has been bringing forth the new birth in all those people who have come from the seventh dimension, who have come from God, and have had their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world; who, upon coming to this Earth, have come in contact with Eternal Life.

Even though they are in mortal bodies and have received a spirit of the world, despite that, they have come in contact with Jesus Christ, the Eternal Life; and they have received Christ as their Savior, their Redeemer; the One who saves us and brings us back to God again, and brings us back to Eternal Life.

And now, by believing in Him as our Savior and as the Sacrifice for sin, to be reconciled to God, and return to God, and have peace with God; now, by thus believing in Christ and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, recognizing that He is the Sacrifice for our sin, He is the Sacrifice for reconciliation, He is the Sacrifice for Atonement, and He is also the Passover Sacrifice, for all of us; by thus believing in Christ, and washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, confessing our sins to Jesus Christ and being cast in the Blood of Christ: the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin.

And once we have received Christ as our Savior, and we have washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ, the Spirit of Christ has come to us; and thus, He has brought forth the new birth; and we have obtained a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, in other words, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and that is how we enter into God’s Program of Creation.

Just as God created Himself a theophanic body, then, later on, He created Adam a theophanic body;⁵ and then, later on, He created Adam a body of flesh, created out of the dust of the ground.⁶

But God didn’t create Himself a body of flesh; until He did, and that body of flesh was called Jesus. In other words, thousands of years passed before God created Himself a body of flesh, in which He dwelt and through which He carried out Redemption.

And now, we are already in the condition that Jesus Christ was in before He had His physical body: He was in His theophanic body; and through that theophanic body, all of Creation came into existence.

In other words, God in His theophanic body created the whole universe; He created angels, archangels, cherubims. All of Creation comes from God, through that manifestation of God in His theophanic body.

And after that, notice, God created Himself a body of flesh called Jesus. But before that, He appeared to Adam and to all those men of God of the past, God’s prophets of the Old Testament, and He appeared to them with the theophanic body; that is why He is called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant, and He has also been called a Man.

In other words, He appeared in the form of a man, but in a body of another dimension, a heavenly body, in which He appeared to God’s prophets on different occasions; who saw Him on different occasions, and thought they would die because they were seeing God face to face.

They were seeing God face to face in His theophanic body; but they were not seeing God face to face without His theophanic body, but rather in His theophanic body. Therefore, what they were seeing face to face was God’s theophanic body; but they were not seeing the One who was inside that body, which is God.

Now, notice how God tells the Prophet Moses that he won’t be able to see Him; because Moses wanted to see God, and God told him: “There shall no man see me, and live.”⁷

God told him: “I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and I will pass before you, but I will put My hand over your face; and I will pass by proclaiming the Name of the Lord,” (in other words, the four letters that God made known to Moses), “and then I will take My hand away from your face or away from you, and then you will see My back parts.”

When God passed by, Moses saw God’s back parts, in other words, he saw the back of God’s theophanic body; but he couldn’t see God face to face, in other words, outside His theophanic body. No man has seen God at any time the way He is without His theophanic body.

In the Book or in the Gospel according to Saint John, chapter 1, verse 18, it says:

“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”

Now notice, among human beings, God allowed Himself to be seen manifested in a body of flesh called Jesus; and thus, what God said through the Prophet Isaiah in chapter 40, verses 3 to 5, was fulfilled. It says there:

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”

Now, how would they see the Glory of the Lord revealed? They would see It revealed through human flesh in the Person of the Messiah, for whom this voice in the wilderness would prepare the way.

And this voice crying in the wilderness was John the Baptist, the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ; he was that voice crying in the wilderness. When they asked him: “Who are you?” He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as the Prophet Isaiah said,” (Saint John chapter 1, verse 23.)

Now we can see how when God says: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness,” He is referring to a man, a prophet with a Message, calling the people to repentance and baptizing those people, and preparing them for the Coming of the Messiah.

John the Baptist carried out that Work, and he said: “After me comes One whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with Fire.”⁸ He also told them that He was before him.⁹

How is it possible that He was born after John the Baptist (six months later), and then, in the ministry He came about sixth months after John the Baptist, yet He is before John the Baptist?

In terms of the flesh, John the Baptist was first; and in terms of beginning his ministry here on Earth in human flesh, John the Baptist was first. But Jesus in His theophanic body was before John the Baptist, He was also before Abraham; for Jesus said: “Before Abraham was, I am;”¹⁰ not only was He before John but before Abraham too, and even before Moses.

Before Abraham, before Noah, before Enoch, before Seth, and also before Adam; and before all of Creation, because in His theophanic body, He was before all of Creation.

He is the Almighty God, who created Himself a theophanic body; and through that manifestation, in that body, He brought all of Creation into existence. In other words, all of Creation was in that theophanic body, and all of Creation comes from there.

Just like when Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, Levi tithed to Melchizedek, and Levi hadn’t been born yet; Levi’s father, who was Jacob, hadn’t been born yet either; and Jacob’s father, who was Isaac, hadn’t been born yet either; and Levi is already tithing to Melchizedek, because he was (where?) in Abraham’s loins.¹¹

And now, we were in the loins of Melchizedek, of Jesus Christ, notice, when only Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, meaning, God in His theophanic body, existed; we were there. And even before God created His theophanic body, we were also present, we existed in God; we have come from God.

Now, we were in God as an attribute, and wherever God was, we were; likewise, since Levi was in Abraham, he was wherever Abraham was.

Now we can see this mystery. And now we can see how that entire Program that was in God’s mind before the foundation of the world has been unfolding; and according to that Program, each one of you, and I, were ordained by God—in the Divine Program—to have a theophanic body like God’s; and in order to be a theophanic body like God’s, where does it have to come from? From God’s theophanic body.

Just as our physical body has come from our parents, likewise, from our Heavenly Father, from the body—the theophanic body—of our Heavenly Father, must come our theophanic body, which we have obtained by believing in Christ as our Savior and washing away our sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

That is why when a born-again believer in Christ has departed from this Earth, his physical body has died, he has gone to live in Paradise in the theophanic body that he received while he was here on Earth, when he believed in Christ as his Savior, washed away his sins in the Blood of Christ, and received the Spirit of Christ; and thus, he received that theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension; and he was put in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

And just like God was in His theophanic body for millions of years, notice, and then He made Himself the body of flesh: we have obtained an eternal theophanic body, so that soon we receive a physical, glorified, and eternal body, in which we will live for all eternity.

Just as God created Himself a body of flesh, which appeared on Earth and in which God dwelt, each of us will also obtain an eternal body in which we will dwell, which God will create out of the dust of the ground; for those who departed: out of the dust of the ground, God will create the body in which they will live, but it will be an eternal body.

And will God take ours out of the dust of the ground? Don’t worry, because we already have the dust of the ground that God will use to create the new body. And where do we have it? It is the body we have now; this one is [made] of the dust of the ground.

Therefore, we can say: “Oh Lord, we already have the dust of the ground that You need to create the new body You have promised for us; here is this dust of the ground, at Your disposal, for you to change it, create a new body, an eternal body with Eternal Life, so that we live for all eternity in that new body.”

Now we can see this mystery. See how simple everything is?

Now, all of this is for the time of the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness; in other words, the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness shining is required to carry out all these promises He has made.

Now, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, at the Last Day, will come manifested among His Church with His face as the sun. And what does this mean? That He will come as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

The First Coming of Christ was as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, 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.

Now we can see that at the Last Day He comes as the Sun of Righteousness, to execute justice; that is why it says that “the Son of man shall come with His Angels in the Glory of His Father; and then He shall reward every man according to his works,” (Saint Matthew chapter 16, verse 27 to 28).

And Revelation chapter 22, verse 12, also speaks to us about what will happen at the Last Day. Revelation chapter 22, verse 12, says:

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

He comes to reward, He comes to repay every man.

So we can see that the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness, being promised for the Last Day, will bring the reward to every human being who lives on this Earth and to all the sons and daughters of God who lived in past ages.

At this time, notice, the Son of man will be on Earth manifested as the Sun of Righteousness; that is why it is so important to know the mystery of the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness. His face shining as the sun was represented in different passages in the Scripture; because those are prophecies (contained in these symbols) of the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

And now what will the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness shining at the Last Day be? We have the promise that He will be here; we have the promise that we will see Him with His facing shining as the sun.

Now, let’s see in the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, on page 70, let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us… It is very important to know the things that he spoke about the Second Coming of Christ, because he is the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

And just as John the Baptist, with his Message, introduced the First Coming of Christ in that young carpenter from Nazareth named Jesus, who was born to a cousin of the mother of John the Baptist; in other words, humanly speaking, by birth there in the land of Israel, they were cousins; and now he is introducing one of his cousins as the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah.

People who knew that Jesus was born of Mary and Mary was the cousin of Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, what might they have thought? They might have thought that everything was carefully prepared by Jesus and John the Baptist, and also that Zacharias the Priest and his wife Elisabeth had prepared everything with Mary and Joseph. But no; although everything was prepared, and carefully prepared, neither Joseph and Mary, and Zacharias the Priest and Elisabeth (the mother of John the Baptist), had prepared it.

Do you want to know who prepared everything that way? God. Yes, it was prepared, but prepared by God.

And who is going to tell God: “You can’t prepare it that way, because that isn’t in agreement with the elders of Israel, nor the high priest. The high priest doesn’t view the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah in Jesus of Nazareth favorably; and the high priest and the other priests said: ‘We will not have this Man to reign over us;’¹² so You better send another one”?

But Jesus Christ is the One sent to sit on the Throne of David and reign over the Hebrew people for a thousand years; and then He will reign for all eternity, because His Kingdom is an eternal Kingdom.

Now we can see that everything was prepared, but by God.

And you know something? Our salvation, so that we would receive a theophanic body and also to receive an eternal and glorified physical body: everything is already prepared, it has been prepared by God before the foundation of the world; and what God does is carry out His Program, His Program of Creation, because He is creating a new race in the image and likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ.

First comes the image, the theophanic body, which is the first thing we receive when we believe in Christ as our Savior, wash away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit; and thus we are in the same condition that Jesus Christ was in before receiving His physical Body; and then He received His physical Body, and we will also receive our physical and eternal body that God has promised for each one of us.

This body which we currently have is temporary, it is mortal, it is corruptible; that is why we are waiting for a transformation, where we will receive—by Divine Creation—the creation of an eternal body.

God will use the dust of the ground, which we already have in the form of a human body, to create a new body; and for those who died, He will take from the dust of the ground and create a new body for them. This is for the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness.

First, He calls and gathers all His elect at this Last Day; and when the very last of God’s elect comes in, whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, then Jesus Christ leaves the Throne of Intercession to make the claim over everything He redeemed, and bring the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.

Now look at page 70 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, where the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us, quoting Revelation chapter 10, he says:

“[29] …I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…

30 If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right. 

…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 

31 You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel.”

Now notice how He comes: as the Messenger to Israel. He is the Angel of the Covenant. Now, it goes on to say:

“[31] See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church. Now watch.

And he had in his hand a little book open:…”

Now notice, we find that the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (who delivered the Hebrew people through the Prophet Moses), came in human flesh two thousand years ago, and He was known by the Name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Then He ascended to Heaven: after His death and resurrection, He ascended to Heaven; and then He came in Holy Spirit, He came in the Pillar of Fire, just as He had come to the Hebrew people during the time of the Prophet Moses; and He has been among His Church, from age to age.

Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Pillar of Fire among His Church, manifested among His Church, from age to age, through each angel-messenger of each age; and using each angel-messenger of each age and speaking through each angel-messenger in each age; and calling and gathering His elect of each age, in the territory pertaining to each age; and from that territory, the Message has spread to other territories.

Among the Gentiles, the territories are: for the first age, Asia Minor; for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ages: the territory of Europe, in different European nations, where He sent different messengers; and for the seventh age of the Gentile Church: the North American territory, where He sent Rev. William Branham as the messenger of the seventh age among the Gentile Church and as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

And for the Last Day, for the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the territory? Latin America and the Caribbean.

And among the Latin American and Caribbean people, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the same One who was among the Hebrew people in the form of a Pillar of Fire and in the form of an Angel, a Man, who appeared on different occasions to different prophets… then He was in the form of human flesh called Jesus; and then He has been among His Gentile Church from age to age, manifested in Holy Spirit through each messenger.

And now, at the Last Day, in His Church, in the stage of the Cornerstone Age, through His Angel-Messenger, we have the promise of this manifestation for the Last Day, to call and gather the Latin American and Caribbean elect, and to put them in His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone; and to complete with Latin American and Caribbean people the number of His Church, the number of God’s elect, the number of those whose names have been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world.

And now, Christ at this end time, in Holy Spirit, notice, in the Age of the Cornerstone, manifests Himself as the Sun of Righteousness, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

Notice, on page 154 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says:

“302 Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings,” and Lord of lords.

Now we have the promise of the Coming of the Holy Spirit in human flesh.

The Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will come manifested in human flesh at the Last Day; just as He came two thousand years ago in that veil of flesh called Jesus of Nazareth: He was the Word made flesh.

And at the Last Day, the Word will be manifested in human flesh again, in other words, the Angel of the Covenant. God in His theophanic body manifested Himself in human flesh in the Person of Jesus two thousand years ago; and at the Last Day, the Angel of the Covenant—which is God Himself, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—will be manifested in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day; and that is what was promised for this Last Day: the Coming of the Holy Spirit in human flesh.

Notice, on page 318 of the Book The Revelation of the Seven Seals, in part of the prayer, while our Brother Branham was praying, he said:

“[391] …May the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider,” (who is the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit), “while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own,” (He is coming to call His Own at the Last Day).

In the ages, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit was manifested in each angel-messenger, in the portion pertaining to each age, calling and gathering the elect of each age; at this Last Day, He will be in His Angel-Messenger, calling and gathering the elect of this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone.

That is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; just like it also was in each age, through each angel-messenger of each age.

And now, notice what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 295, on that page it says, in paragraph 196 it says [The Revelation of the Seven Seals]:

“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.”

The Word of God incarnate in a Man will be the coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19.

And at that time, at the Last Day in which we live, a veil of flesh must be present, a Messenger of Jesus Christ, in whom the Word is made flesh; in whom the Word is made flesh: in whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, is made flesh and comes manifested in human flesh, and comes speaking through human flesh to His Church; and for that to happen, that veil of flesh must be a prophet.

And just as the veil of flesh where the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled was a prophet, and a dispensational prophet: the Prophet of the Dispensation of Grace, the Prophet of the sixth dispensation; likewise, for the Holy Spirit to come, the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant, manifested in human flesh at the Last Day, it must be in a dispensational prophet.

But thank God that the last dispensational prophet is left; and that is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel-Messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, who is a dispensational prophet, the carrier of the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom who comes at the Last Day with the Holy Spirit.

That Angel-Messenger comes with the Seal of the living God, because the Seal of the living God is the Holy Spirit.

That is the Angel-Messenger of Revelation chapter 7: the Messenger to Israel; the Messenger to Israel, notice, the Angel of the Covenant manifested in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger; that is why he comes directly to the Hebrew people.

But the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is about to be raptured, and She needs a dispensational prophet to give her the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and through that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, for Jesus Christ as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, to cry as when a lion roars and the Seven Thunders to utter their Voices; the Voice of Christ crying as when a lion roars, speaking to His Church and revealing to Her the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming as the Sun of Righteousness.

Notice, on page 546 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us, speaking to us about this cloud,¹³ which appeared on February 28, 1963, in the skies of Tucson, Arizona, he tells us:

“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? [Congregation says, ‘Amen.’—Ed.] 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…’” (Why flying eastward? Because he is the Messenger to Israel.) “I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’ You remember that?…”

Who is the One that picked up the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ and put him in that constellation of angels in that cloud? It was that Angel who was different from the rest.

“276 Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal…”

Of all those angels who were there, one of them had the Seventh Seal. The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ.

The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, was there; and just as those other Angels had been manifested in human flesh on this Earth to have their ministries, in order for the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, to have the ministry of the Second Coming of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness, at the Last Day, He must come in human flesh manifested in a prophet and appear in the form of a prophet, and manifest Himself and speak to His Church.

And He does that through the manifestation in human flesh of His Angel-Messenger at the Last Day, because He no longer has any of the seven angel-messengers of the seven ages; and none of them qualified for the fulfillment of that promise either, because none of them were dispensational prophets, but prophets of ages.

Therefore, it must be in a dispensational prophet-messenger; and there is only one left in God’s Program: the Messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and that Messenger is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be the instrument of Jesus Christ in the manifestation of Jesus Christ as the Sun of Righteousness shining at the Last Day and enlightening our understanding with His revealed Word.

Now we can see: “THE MYSTERY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD AS THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

It is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel with the Seventh Seal; the Angel who, in His Coming, fulfills the Seventh Seal, fulfills the Second Coming of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness.

And in order to find the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness shining, we only need to find one thing: the veil of flesh, which is the Angel-Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and we will find the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, manifested there, in human flesh, shining as the Sun of Righteousness.

Now, the veil of flesh, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, is not the Lord Jesus Christ, but Jesus Christ will be manifested in him as the Sun of Righteousness shining.

The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ isn’t Moses either, but the ministry of Moses will be manifested in him through the Holy Spirit. And the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ isn’t Elijah either (literally speaking), but the ministry of Elijah will be manifested in him through the Holy Spirit according to the Divine Promise.

And the ministries of the Two Olive Trees will be manifested there at the Last Day, and the ministry of Jesus Christ will also be manifested there for the second time. That is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness, shining through His manifestation in human flesh, in His Angel-Messenger.

See how simple this whole mystery of the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness shining at the Last Day is?

When does the Sun of Righteousness rise and shine? It rises on the morning of a new dispensational Day, in other words, at the start of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and It rises on a new millennial Day, in other words, It rises during the first one hundred and twenty-five years of the seventh millennium; and thus, on that Day before the Lord, which is the Lord’s Day or Day of the Lord, Jesus Christ comes shining as the Sun of Righteousness in His last manifestation through His Angel-Messenger.

Notice that His face as the sun means Christ as the sun, as King of kings and Lord of lords shining, giving us His Light, the Light of His Word, to thus fill us with the knowledge of His entire Program.

And He comes to judge, as Judge, and also as King of kings and Lord of lords. He comes as the Sun of Righteousness; that is how the Lord comes at the Last Day; and that will be the Word incarnate in a Man.

See how simple everything is? That is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD AS THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

And where are the people and where is the territory that would see the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness shining at the Last Day? Here we are, in the Latin American and Caribbean territory; here we are, seeing the Sun of Righteousness shining at this Last Day.

Now, notice how this mystery would be opened, would be fulfilled, at the Last Day, and would be made known to all of God’s elect; and here we are, the ones who would see this mystery of the Coming of the Lord as the Sun of Righteousness manifested at this Last Day.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, be upon each one of you and also upon me; and soon may the very last elect be called and gathered; and may we all be changed, we who are alive, and may the dead in Christ be raised in eternal bodies; and after a stay of thirty to forty days in the new body, then may we all go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

It has been a great privilege to be with you tonight, testifying to you about: “THE MYSTERY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD AS THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

May God bless you, and have a good evening everyone.

I don’t know if you have a second service after the dinner, or since you are waiting… do you have another one? What time is it? I don’t know if that gives you time to have dinner and have another service. Miguel and you… If you all decide on it, I will be here until Sunday afternoon, so just let me know, and…

The itinerary there says you were going to have a vigil. Well, we have already had the one from 9:00 to… part of it, the first hour of the first watch; we have had it from 9:00 to 10:00; and we have already taken up part of the second hour. Yes.

So, however you have it planned and however you do it is correct; but you also need time to eat something for dinner; so, if you have the service after dinner, I will be around here and you let me know, and I will be with you in the second hour of the first watch; and surely we will reach the end of the first watch, and we don’t know if we will take a few minutes of the second watch too; and especially since we would be talking about the watches.

So, may God continue to bless you, may God keep you. Enjoy your food, everyone, the spiritual Food first and then also the physical food that you have for dinner tonight.

So, God bless you; and continue having an evening filled with the blessings of Christ.

I will leave Miguel Bermúdez Marín with us again to continue.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD AS THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
