The God of Abraham

Good evening, beloved brethren and friends present, and viewers. May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and upon me also; and may He allow us to understand His Word tonight, may He speak directly to our heart, and may He open our understanding, and thus fill us with the knowledge of His Program. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

I want to read in Exodus, chapter 3, verse… from 1 and on:

“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.”

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

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.” That is the subject for this occasion.

“THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.”

Abraham is a descendant of Adam.

He, we find, is in the line of the righteous; and he lived in Ur of the Chaldees,¹ there in the territory of Babylon; and he was called by God² to go out to a land that God would show him, which God would give him as an inheritance for him and for his descendants.

God chose him to, through Abraham, He would bring into existence a nation³; and from Abraham’s offspring according to the flesh would also come the Messiah.4</sup>

Now, notice that this God of Abraham, who is the God of Isaac and also the God of Jacob, and also the God of the Hebrew people (who are the descendants of Jacob according to the flesh), is the God Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.

This is the God of whom Genesis speaks in chapter 1 and verse 1, saying: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

This is the God Creator of the Heavens and the Earth; this is the God of the great patriarchs; this is the God of the Hebrew people; this is the God of the prophets of the Hebrew people, sent by God from stage to stage; this is the God who sent the prophet Moses for the deliverance of the Hebrew people there in Egypt, who had arrived at the time of deliverance.

And when the time comes for the deliverance of the Hebrew people from bondage, God came down. He says to Moses: “I have descended, because I have seen the affliction of my people Israel, and I have descended (what for?) to deliver them.” God came down to deliver them from that bondage.

And every time God manifests Himself, He will have an instrument, a veil of flesh —called a prophet—, to reveal Himself to that prophet, to speak to that prophet, and to give that prophet the Message relevant to that time; and to send that prophet to the people who have the promise and who are waiting for the fulfillment of what God has promised them.

That prophet comes to the scene with the Message of God for that time, and he is the veil of flesh that God will be using at that time for God to fulfill the promise that He has made for that time.

Now, you see, Moses became the veil of flesh in which God was manifested, and the Word of God was being manifested through that veil of flesh: The prophet Moses.

We find that because of that God said to Moses: “Do this, or do that.” Moses did it, and things happened. For it was the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, who was manifesting Himself through the prophet Moses. And wherever God is, He will always be veiled; veiled in a veil of human flesh through which He will be speaking to His people.

Now we can see how God carried out the deliverance of the Hebrew people by the hand of the prophet Moses, through whom God manifested Himself.

A dispensational prophet was Moses, through whom the Word of God came for a new dispensation: The Dispensation of the Law. In other words, Moses was a messenger, a dispensational prophet, with a dispensational Message for the Hebrew people, which he received from God on Mount Sinai and gave it to the Hebrew people; and thus the Hebrew people was constituted as a nation, which was born there on Mount Sinai.

Now, see how God through the prophet Moses was manifested for the beginning of that Dispensation of the Law, which is the fifth dispensation, of the seven dispensations that God has to carry out.

God already, notice, fulfilled the fifth dispensation, the Dispensation of the Law, in which He had prophets; and we find that the dispensational prophet was Moses. And then God sent different prophets, like Samuel, like the prophet Elijah, like the prophet Elisha, like the prophet Isaiah, like the prophet Jeremiah, the prophet Ezekiel, the prophet Daniel, the prophet Habakkuk, the prophet Zechariah, the prophet Malachi and —lastly— the prophet John the Baptist, who was the last prophet of the Dispensation of the Law.

That is why Jesus said in Matthew, chapter 11, that the prophets until John prophesied, because John the Baptist was the last prophet of the Dispensation of the Law. John was the prophet of the seventh stage or seventh age of the Dispensation of the Law. That is why Jesus says, in Matthew, chapter 11, verse 9 and on, says:

“But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

Now, why is the least of the Kingdom of Heaven greater than John the Baptist? Because John the Baptist belongs to the people of the servants, which is the Hebrew people (they are the servants of God); and the least of the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the sons and daughters of God. And which is greater, a servant or a son? A son is greater before God; therefore, the least of the Kingdom of Heaven (that is, the least of the sons and daughters of God) is greater than John the Baptist.

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”

In older versions, it says:⁵

“…to the kingdom of heaven there is strength, and the mighty take it by force.”

Now, it goes on to say:

“For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John (that is, the prophets of the Old Testament came up to John). 

And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.”

The Hebrew people were waiting for the coming of the prophet Elijah, but they were waiting for him literally; but the promise of the coming of the prophet Elijah was the coming of the ministry of the prophet Elijah in another man, and that other man was John the Baptist, who became the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, the messenger who would prepare the way for the Lord, for the Messiah in His First Coming.

And for the Second Coming of Christ we also have the promise of the coming of Elijah forerunning the way, forerunning the way to the Messiah for the end time. That promise was also fulfilled, and that prophet messenger with the spirit and power of Elijah was the Reverend William Branham.

And now, notice how in Jesus’ time, His forerunner was John the Baptist; and then came the Anointed One of God for a new age and a new dispensation: The Anointed One of God for the Dispensation of Grace and for the Age of the Cornerstone.

That is why Jesus became the Head of the Corner, the Cornerstone which the builders rejected,⁶ of which John the Baptist spoke, saying: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world”⁷; he presented Him as the man of whom he said He would come after him, to whom he was preparing the way.8</sup>

Now, you see, that First Coming of Christ fulfilled in the midst of the Hebrew people was nothing less than the fulfillment of God’s promise through the prophet Malachi in chapter 3, verse 1 and on, where it says:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me (that was John the Baptist): and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple…”

Who would come after John the Baptist? The Lord, whom the Hebrew people were looking for. And it goes on to say:

“…even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in…”

Who would come? The Angel of the Covenant, that is, the Angel of the Lord; the same one who appeared to the prophet Moses there on Mount Sinai, and said to him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

He is the one who has promised to come to fulfill His First Coming in the midst of the Hebrew people. He was the one who delivered the Hebrew people through the prophet Moses, there in Egypt, who was manifested in a Pillar of Fire; and through that manifestation, we find that He performed great wonders in favor of the Hebrew people. And the instrument that God had was the prophet Moses; that is why we find the prophet Moses, on some occasions, in the midst of that Pillar of Fire.

And we also find that on the second occasion when the prophet Moses went up Mount Sinai, we find that, when he came down, his face was shining, his skin was shining and he didn’t know it; and then he put a veil over his face, and only took it off when he entered the presence of God; and then, when he returned to the people, he put on the veil.⁹

But notice how this prophet spoke to the Hebrew people the Word of God; and when he finished speaking that Word, we find that he put on the veil; and thus that glory of God —which shone on his skin and all over his face—, the Hebrew people couldn’t see it when Moses had that veil over his face.

Now, notice that this God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, says in John, chapter 1, verses 1 and on:

“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 other words, all Creation was carried out by Him, by the Word who was with God and was God.

Who is this Word that was with God and was God? It is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, it is God Himself in His theophanic body. It is called, the theophanic body of God, that theophany, it is called the Word of God.

And now, look at all that it tells us about the Word of God. It says:

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

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

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

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

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

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

Now, how could that true Light, which enlightens every man, come to this world? It says:

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

He came unto his own (that is, to 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 (that is, they are begotten by the Spirit of God through the new birth. It says).

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.”

See how the Word would come to Earth in the midst of the Hebrew people: He would be in human flesh. He came in human flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people, veiled in that veil of flesh called Jesus of Nazareth.

That body of flesh was created by God, by the Angel of the Covenant, by the Word. The body called Jesus was created in Mary’s womb, which was born of the virgin Mary, there in Bethlehem of Judea; and in that body dwelt the Word who was with God and was God, and in whom was God.

God was in His theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and then the body of flesh was created in Mary’s womb, called Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem of Judea.

And in that body of flesh God was manifested in human flesh, and was living in the midst of the Hebrew people as a human being (but perfect), who took our sins and died on Calvary’s Cross; because that was the purpose of His First Coming in the midst of the Hebrew people: To take our sins, and pay the price of redemption.

Because the human being, with the fall in the Garden of Eden, had lost its inheritance, had lost its rights to all the divine inheritance; and the human being had lost the right to eternal life. The Scripture says: “Because all have sinned, all have fallen short of the glory of God.”¹⁰ And teaches that the wages of sin is death.¹¹

Therefore, the human being, being heir to eternal life, by sinning before God lost the right to eternal life, and thus lost his inheritance, and therefore, obtained death.

And that is why when a human being is born on this Earth he is sentenced to death; and as the years go by, his days of life here on Earth are shortened, and he is getting closer every day to the physical death of his body; and sometimes: before the normal time, which is 70 to 80 years for human beings, before that time some of them leave the physical body for some reason; others manage to reach 70 years of age, others 80; and others reach 90 and 100 years; but you see, in the end the physical body dies, because it is sentenced to death, because of sin there in the Garden of Eden.

And Christ said: “I am the way, the truth and the life; and no one comes to the Father, but by me.”¹² In other words, to return to eternal life there is no other Way, nor is there any other Life, nor is there any other Truth, but the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is why He carried out His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross: For Him to restore us to eternal life, for Him to carry out the Work of Redemption (to redeem is ‘to return to the original place’).

And to return to the original place the sons and daughters of God, to return to eternal life, the Sacrifice of Christ was necessary; it was necessary for a human being to die, a human being without sin; and the only one who fulfilled that requirement was our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, who came without sin, because He came by divine creation.

And now we can see why Christ had to die on Calvary’s Cross; which was also represented in the offerings and sacrifices that the Hebrew people offered to God there in the temple: The goat of the atonement on the tenth day of the seventh month, and also the Passover lamb and the other animal sacrifices¹³; which pointed to Christ and His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross.</sup>

It was also represented, the Sacrifice of Christ, when Moses first met the people in the wilderness, and without water for the people (who cried out to Moses); and then God told Moses that He was going to be upon the rock, upon that rock, upon that stone, and that Moses should go and strike the stone with the rod, and the rock, the stone, would give him water for the people.¹⁴

Moses smote the rock, the stone, and gave water for the people; which is type and figure of the death of Christ on Calvary’s Cross, where He was wounded for our sins to give us the Water of eternal life, of salvation, to give us the Water of His Holy Spirit for eternal life; and thus produce in us the new birth: by believing in Christ as our Savior, and washing our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit; and thus produce in us the new birth of which Christ spoke to Nicodemus.¹⁵

Now, you see that our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is nothing less than the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who dressed Himself in human flesh; and lived among the Hebrew people 33 years dressed in human flesh, to carry out His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross.

The Messiah for the Hebrew people is God Himself coming in the form of a prophet; but they couldn’t understand that this prophet who was in their midst, called Jesus of Nazareth, was the promised Messiah for the Hebrew people. And it was nothing less than the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, clothed in human flesh, to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross; and then to call and gather all those who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, who would be living, some among the Hebrew people and others among the gentiles (that is, among the gentile peoples or non-Hebrew peoples).

Now, we can see who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who after He died and resurrected (as to His physical body), after being here on Earth for about 40 days already resurrected, and appearing to His disciples on different occasions, then ascended to Heaven:¹⁶

He sat in the right hand of God, at the right hand of God, at the Throne of God, making intercession for every person who has his name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world; so that the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross may become effective in those people, which —in the time in which they live— they hear the Voice of God, because the Voice of God reaches them, the Message of God for that age in which they live, and they receive Christ as their Savior, and they wash their sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ; and thus the new birth is produced in those people.

And thus Christ has been calling and gathering His elect, from age to age, and has been producing that new birth; and they have been being born in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so Christ has placed us in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.¹⁷ He has given us a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.

And for the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, and also called the Lord’s Day or Day of Jehovah, He will give us the eternal body which He has promised for us who are alive, and for those who have departed in the past. For Christ said: “And I will raise him up in the Last Day.”

Who will He resurrect in the Last Day, Jesus Christ? He says whom He will resurrect. It says chapter 6, verse 39 to 40:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”

For what day does He say He has the commission to resurrect those whom the Father has given Him? He says it is for the Last Day. He says:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”

It is a promise of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, because it is thus established in the Program of God since before the foundation of the world.

This is a Program that Christ will be fulfilling on the Last Day. In other words, it is not something that He is going to invent, but it is something that He will be doing, that is in God’s Program since before the foundation of the world.

What God has been carrying out is what He programmed since before the foundation of the world.

Now, He has been creating a new race. The race that we can see from generation to generation, which after the fall is already a fallen race, came through the first Adam; and that is why he is born, lives and dies, and has so many problems here on Earth. But God is creating a new race through the second Adam.

That new race is composed of the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, born of Water and the Spirit, who have believed in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and have received Christ as their Savior, and have washed their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ, and have received the Spirit of Jesus Christ; and thus we have been born in the Kingdom of God; and we have been placed in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the age that corresponds to us in this time; like those who have been born in the past, in the Mystical Body of Christ, were placed in the age in which they were allotted to live.

And now we are in the end time; where, we find that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, just as Sarah, Abraham’s wife, received a change in order to have the promised son, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time would receive a change, and God would rejuvenate His Church to bring the fulfillment, the promise, of the Coming of the promised Son.

For the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ, Christ rejuvenates His Church in this end time, as He did with Sarah; in order to bring the promised Son in and through His Church in this Last Day; just as He brought the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ through the Hebrew people, which was the Church of the Old Testament, it was the Church of the Dispensation of the Law. And through the Church of the Dispensation of the Law, we find that the Coming of the promised Son was fulfilled, the Coming of the Son of Abraham, the Coming of the Messiah in the midst of the Hebrew people.

And for the Last Day, the Coming of the Messiah, the Coming of the Lord, will be fulfilled in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just as the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in the midst of the Hebrew people.

It is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ who is waiting for the Second Coming of Christ; and His Second Coming is as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.

Now, we can see that for this end time, the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob…; who has been manifested in past ages and past dispensations, carrying out the Work relevant to each age and each dispensation of the past; we find that during the seven stages of the gentile Church He was manifested through each angel messenger; and now, for the Last Day, He will be manifested in the midst of His Church, also in His Angel Messenger, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and thus He will fulfill —Christ, through His Angel Messenger— what He has promised for this Last Day to His Church.

And the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which was manifested in Saint Paul, and Saint Paul said: “I live no longer, Christ lives in me”…¹⁸; and then He was manifested in the different angel messengers of the different ages of the gentile Church; then, in the seventh age, he was manifested in North America in the Reverend William Branham, who was the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, who came with the spirit and power of Elijah for the fourth time, forerunning the Second Coming of Christ; for this end time He will be manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Latin American and Caribbean territory.</sup>

Just as in the tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, the holy place was in the west, Christ has been building a spiritual Temple, which is His Church; and the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple corresponds to the West; and the West corresponds to Latin America and the Caribbean.

Because the northern part of the West, which is North America, already had the seventh age of the gentile Church fulfilled at the time of the ministry of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, the Reverend William Marrion Branham.

And now it is the turn of Latin America and the Caribbean for the final part or final stage among the gentiles, of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in His final manifestation, through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the prophet messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, through whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will be giving us His Final Message.

Now, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ; although the Lord Jesus Christ will be manifesting Himself through His Angel Messenger, just as He manifested Himself through the angel messengers that He had in the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church; and He also manifested Himself through the prophets of the Old Testament, which belong to the servants of God, in other words, the Hebrew people, who are the servants of God.

And now, the seven angel messengers belong to the children of God; therefore, now in the midst of the House of God, in the midst of the children of God, it will be the manifestation of the Second Coming of Christ, it will be the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is Christ Himself, who became flesh two thousand years ago and was manifested in the midst of the Hebrew people.

For this end time, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will be manifested through His Angel Messenger, just as He was manifested through His messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church. And through His Angel Messenger He will be making known to us all these things that must shortly take place, according to Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, where it says:

“Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

Where are we going to go up to? We have to go up to the Age of Cornerstone, which is the age of the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger in the Last Day, in the midst of His gentile Church.

Then in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, we find that through His Angel Messenger is that all these things that must happen soon are made known; because it is through His Angel Messenger that Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, manifests Himself in this Last Day, and speaks to us all these things that must happen.

Revelation 22, verse 6, says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Through whom are all these things which must shortly take place made known? Through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 22, verse 16 also says:

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

Who does Jesus say He has sent to testify of these things in the churches? He says He has sent His Angel Messenger.

Through His Angel Messenger is that His Church has to know all these things that must happen soon; because this Angel Messenger is sent to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to make known to her all these things that must happen soon; in other words, all these promises, prophecies promised for this end time. And thus to open the prophecies of the Last Day, to open the prophecies of this end time to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for her to know them, and to obtain the benefit of the fulfillment of these prophecies as they are being fulfilled from time to time.

Now, we can see that the Work for this end time is the Work of the God of Abraham, who is the God of Isaac and is also the God of Jacob; He is also the God of the Hebrew people, He is also the God of the prophets of the Old Testament; He is the God of Jesus (which was in Jesus, within Jesus), He is the God of the apostles: Saint Peter, Saint John, Andrew and other apostles; He is also the God of the apostle Saint Paul; He is the God of every angel messenger of the seven ages of the gentile Church; He is the God of the seventh angel messenger, William Marrion Branham; He is the God of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; He is the God of the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ for the Age of Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and He is the God of each one of us who live in this end time, which has been manifested in His Church from age to age, through the messenger of each age, calling and gathering His elect in each age, and in the territory in which each age has been fulfilled.

And now, we have been allotted in Latin America and the Caribbean to have the blessing of having the God of Abraham manifested, calling and gathering His elect in this end time.

And for the God of Abraham to manifest Himself, and to call and gather His elect, He sends His Angel Messenger. Christ said:

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

And we also find that Jesus Christ said, in Matthew 24:31: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect…”

Now, we can see that the call of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, for this Last Day will be through His Angel Messenger. Through His Angel Messenger God will be sounding the Seventh Trumpet, which is the Last Trumpet, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet; and He will be calling and gathering His elect in the midst of the Hebrew people, which will be 144,000 Hebrews.

And that same Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet or Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people, for the elect from among the gentiles, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the Seventh Seal. In other words, the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet is the same: It is the same as for the Hebrew people, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the message “Broken Cisterns,” the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, says in the following way, he says:¹⁹

“‘…for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound…’”

What will sound? The Last Trumpet, that Seventh Trumpet, which is the Seventh Seal. And the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord. And the Coming of the Lord shall sound: And the Coming of the Lord shall be revealed. It will be made known to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, through the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which contains the revealed mystery of the Second Coming of Christ…; and through that Message, which contains and revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, is revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which for the Hebrew people is the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet.

And thus the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ obtains the revelation, the faith, to be raptured, to be transformed and raptured, in this end time. There is the faith of rapture for the elect of God in the Last Day, in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, in the Age of Cornerstone; and for the resurrection of the dead in Christ from the past ages.

This is what the God of Abraham will be fulfilling in this end time; because the God of Abraham is also our God; because the apostle Saint Paul said in his letter to the Galatians: Chapter 3 of his letter to the Galatians, he said as follows; and I want to read, he says… Let’s see what Saint Paul says in this letter to the Galatians, chapter 3, verses 6 to 9:

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.”

We are children of Abraham by faith: by faith in Jesus Christ our Savior, which produces in us the new birth; and therefore, we are His children, of Jesus Christ, who was born in the midst of the Hebrew people; and therefore, He is (earthly speaking) a Hebrew, by birth in the midst of the Hebrew people.

And if we have obtained the new birth through Christ (by believing in Christ as our Savior, and washing our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit), then we are children of Abraham; and therefore we belong to the heavenly Israel.

For there is the earthly Israel and the heavenly Israel; and it is the heavenly Israel that has the promise of a resurrection for those who belong to the heavenly Israel, who have died, and a transformation for those of us who are alive, who belong to the heavenly Israel.

Every person who has believed in Christ as our Savior, and has washed away his sins in the Blood of Christ, and has received His Holy Spirit: He belongs to the heavenly Israel; and therefore he is a son of Abraham or a daughter of Abraham; whether he is a son… whether he is a man or a woman, he is a son or a daughter of Abraham.

And therefore, we have the same God of Abraham as our God; who became flesh and dwelt among human beings; and was known by the name of Jesus, the veil of flesh where the Angel of the Covenant was manifested, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; became flesh in the veil of flesh called Jesus. That is THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.

And now, not only is He the God of Abraham, but He is the God of the Hebrew people and He is also our God.

He is called, in the Old Testament, the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant. He is the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, veiled in human flesh, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.

And after He ascended to Heaven, on the Day of Pentecost He descended in Holy Spirit²⁰; and He has been in the midst of His Church from age to age.</sup>

Who? The God of Abraham, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested from age to age through His messengers; and in the midst of His Church; pouring out His blessings upon heavenly Israel, upon the children of Abraham.

Because the heavenly Israel is a descendant of Abraham; and, therefore, the God of Abraham is our God, the God of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have seen who is THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.

And for this Final Day or Last Day, He has promised great blessings for each one of you and for me also, in Latin America and the Caribbean. That is the territory where He will be pouring His great blessings; and then He will pour them upon the Hebrew people.

It has been a great privilege for me to be with you, giving testimony of: “THE GOD OF ABRAHAM,” who is with us in the Latin American and Caribbean territory, who is in His Church in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age in which the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is in this Last Day.

May the blessings of the God of Abraham be upon each one of you and upon me also. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present, and viewers. And it will be until Sunday, God willing, in the morning: at 10:00 a.m. we will have the activity with the devotional, with the songs, and then I will be with you in the morning talk. And then at 3:00 in the afternoon we will have the second activity.

God bless you and keep you, and until Sunday, God willing.

“THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.”
