Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you here in Fusagasuga, Colombia, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
We will be speaking about the topic: “THE STAGES OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.” For which I want to read in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 to 5, where it says the following:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and may He open our understanding and allow us to understand His Word. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
The Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord. The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us in the book of Quotations, on page 130, a quote taken from the message “Broken cisterns,” tells us the following… Page 130, paragraph 1164, says:
“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, 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, and the dead in Christ shall rise first’”
That Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on, is that Great Trumpet promised as the last trumpet or Final Trumpet that sounds and the dead in Christ will first resurrect and then us who are alive will be transformed.
Now, that last trumpet (or Final Trumpet or Seventh Trumpet), like the last Seal, the Seventh Seal, is the Coming of the Lord. It will sound and the dead in Christ will rise first, and then us who are alive will be transformed.
Also, we find that under that Seventh Trumpet, God will be calling the Hebrew people, 144,000 Hebrews, because that Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet is the Trumpet of the Angels of the Son of Man, the Trumpet of the Two Olive Trees and the Two Candlesticks of Revelation, chapter 11, who will take the Message to the Hebrew people.
Now notice how the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ speaks to us on page 47 of the book of Quotations. This quote is taken from the message “The ten virgins,” and is found in the book of “The Seven Ages,” the new book, the last book that came out, and it says the following on page 47 of the book of Quotations, verse 402:
“‘For we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, down here, shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep.’ Them precious ones that sealed their blood…sealed their testimony with their blood. ‘Not prevent or hinder those that are asleep, for the trumpet will sound.’ Something will take place, ‘the Gospel something will sound,’ the announcing of His coming. ‘And the dead in Christ shall rise first. And we which are alive and remain shall be changed.’ Standing, and feel a change come on: the gray hair go out, the wrinkles fall away, be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. And we shall meet our loved ones first.”
Notice how the Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet is that “Gospel something” that will sound; in other words, that “Gospel something,” the Message, the good tidings of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing the Second Coming of Christ. He says: “Something will take place, ‘the Gospel something will sound,’ the announcing of His coming.”
Now we can see that the Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet will be announcing His Coming, will be revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming.
That Final Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, like the Seventh Seal, is the Coming of the Lord. And with that Trumpet sounding, we will be hearing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ being revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, let us also read what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says in the book of The Seals in Spanish, on page 481. Let us see, it says:
“Now, now, do you notice? On the opening of this Seventh Seal, it’s also in a threefold mystery. This one, I have…will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the Seven Thunders. The Seven Thunders in Heaven will unfold this mystery. It’ll be right at the Coming of Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return.”
The Seventh Seal, that is, the Second Coming of Christ, is also a threefold mystery. No one will be able to say: “I am seeing the Second Coming of Christ” if that person cannot see that threefold mystery being fulfilled in the Second Coming of Christ.
There is a threefold mystery promised to be fulfilled in the Second Coming of Christ; because the Second Coming of Christ is the Coming of the Son of Man promised by Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27 to 28. And notice what Christ says here:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”
The Coming of the Son of Man, with whom? With His Angels; because the Coming of the Son of Man is in a threefold mystery; it is in a threefold mystery because the Son of Man comes with His Angels. The Son of Man comes with Moses and Elijah, who are His Angels in His Coming.
That is why Moses and Elijah appeared on Mount Transfiguration with Jesus Christ, where He was showing the Coming of the Son of Man in His Kingdom with His Angels.
Jesus appeared there with His face like the sun and His garments shining, and on each side of Jesus, Moses on one side and Elijah on the other, appeared showing there the Coming of the Son of Man, the Second Coming of Christ in His Kingdom with His Angels.
No one will be able to see the Second Coming of Christ in another form, only with His Angels: Moses and Elijah.
The Second Coming of Christ, which is the Seventh Seal, is in a threefold mystery: the Son of Man with Moses and Elijah. It is a threefold mystery: the Son of Man coming with His Angels.
That is why Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 to 31, where the sign of the Son of Man was seen in Heaven, says… Let us see, in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3, says:
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
About when these things would take place, referring to the destruction of Jerusalem, of which He said: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, the moment has arrived; and he who is in Jerusalem, flee from Jerusalem; and those who are outside of Jerusalem: do not enter into Jerusalem; because the moment of her destruction has arrived,” which was fulfilled when the Roman general Titus surrounded Jerusalem, there was that sign being seen for destruction after Jerusalem.
How many years did Titus surround Jerusalem, Miguel? Titus surrounded Jerusalem three and a half years; and he gave the opportunity so that every person who wanted to leave Jerusalem could leave; and also gave the opportunity for those who were in Jerusalem to surrender so that there would be no bloodshed, but they did not surrender. And then Titus entered into Jerusalem and destroyed Jerusalem, and crucified so many people; and he placed those crosses on the walls or ramparts, there he filled the walls with crucified people, with crosses in front of the ramparts. And notice, the same thing they did with Jesus Christ, now they were doing it with Hebrews who were there when the time for the divine judgment came upon the Hebrew people.
And the divine judgment has been upon the Hebrew people for approximately two thousand years, because they said: “His blood be upon us” when they asked for Christ’s death on Calvary’s Cross; “and…” they said: “and upon our children”1</a>; and that is why we can see that they have been paying the consequences, not only those who lived in the time in which they were alive when Jerusalem was destroyed, but also the descendants of the Hebrew people.
And now, that sign, the sign of the destruction of Jerusalem, where stone upon stone would not be left (not even the temple) that was not destroyed, was seen, and then the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple was fulfilled.
Then, “and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” For the end of the world, in the parable of the wheat and the tares, in chapter 13, verse 30 to 43, Jesus Christ said the following (and I want to read it); it says:
“Let both grow together (in other words, the wheat and the tares together) until the harvest (that is, the reaping): and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
And now, how will this harvest be carried out? In the explanation Christ gave about this parable, He said, when a His disciples told Him to explain the parable of the wheat and the tares to them, says, verse 36 and on of this same chapter 13 of Matthew:
“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; (in other words, the children of the devil)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil (the one who showed what? The tares)<em>; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.”
At the end of the world, in which the wheat and the tares will have reached the time of harvest, in other words, the reaping. “So shall it be in the end of this world.”
He will send what? His Angels. He will send His Angels to, what? He will send the reapers, which are His Angels, to what? To carry out the work of the harvest, the work of the reaping. It says:
“The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Now notice how for the divine judgment that will come upon the tares, in which the tares will be burned in the oven of fire during the great tribulation, wherein the atomic fire will be set loose upon this planet Earth… as it is pointed out in Malachi, chapter 4, verse 1, where it says:
“…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.”
That is what is pointed out for the tares, which are the ones who will be cast into the oven of fire. These are the ones where it says here or it points out here as the ones who do evil; and also in the parable of Jesus Christ, they are also pointed out as the ones who do iniquity, that is, evil.
But also for the sons and daughters of God, who are represented in the wheat, it says in this same chapter 4, verse 2, of Malachi:
“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.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel.”
Here we can see that of those who fear the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for those who fear the Name of God, the Sun of Righteousness shall rise; this is for the wheat. And by the Sun of Righteousness arising Jesus Christ shows us: “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”
The righteous, represented in the wheat, will shine like the sun, because the Second Coming of Christ comes like the rising sun shining; and now the righteous in the harvest will also shine like the sun. Because the Coming of Christ for the Last Day, which is the Seventh Seal, the Second Coming of Christ, comes with His face like the sun. In other words, the shining sun represents Christ in His Second Coming as King of kings and Lord of Lord, because the sun is the king star, and Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
And with the Coming of the Son of Man shining like the sun, those who fear the Name of the Lord, will be called and gathered by the ministry of the Son of Man and the ministries with which the Son of Man will come, which are the ministries of His Angels, the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
There we have the threefold mystery. The Son of Man coming with His Angels is the Second Coming of Christ with Moses and Elijah, there is the threefold mystery: the ministry of Jesus, the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Elijah in the Coming of the Son of Man, in the opening of the Seventh Seal, in the harvest or reaping or gathering of the wheat, of the sons and daughters of God; for the wheat, which are the sons and daughters of God, to shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father; in other words, shine like kings and priests in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, let us see Revelation, chapter 14, verses 14 and on, it says:
“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle (if he has a golden crown on his head he is king, he is crowned).
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.”
Now notice, here in Revelation, chapter 14, verse 14 to 16, tells us that this Angel with a golden crown and a sharp sickle in his hand is the one who carries out the harvest, the reaping; because the time of harvest has arrived.
And when is the time to harvest? At the end of the world, said Christ in the parable of the wheat and the tares. He said: “The harvest is the end of the world, the reapers are the Angels,” and He said that the wheat was, what?, the children of the Kingdom; and He said that the tares are the children of the wicked, in other words, the children of the devil.
And now, let us also see further on where it says:
“And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
Now, notice here how the grapes represent humanity, which will be cast in the judgment of the great tribulation, in the winepress of God’s wrath, in order for God’s wrath to pour out upon humanity.
We find in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 15, where it speaks about the white horse Rider of Revelation, which is the Second Coming of Christ. It says:
“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
We also find this same thing in Isaiah: Isaiah 63, 1 to 6, where it says, speaking about this white horse Rider of Revelation 19, says:
“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”
Here we can see what is also pointed out in Revelation 19, verses 11 to 21.
“And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.”
Now we can see that this is the same thing Revelation 19, verses 17 and on tells us, where it says:
“And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”
Now, notice everything that will take place under the Seventh Seal, under the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19, which is the Second Coming of Christ, which is the Seventh Seal being opened in this end time.
Now we can see this mystery of the Seventh Seal and we can see the different stages of the Seventh Seal. The Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, which is the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, the Coming of the Holy Spirit with the ministries of Jesus for a second occasion, Moses for a second occasion and Elijah for a fifth occasion; there is the threefold mystery and the triple purpose of the Seventh Seal; a threefold purpose under the ministry of Jesus for a second time, under the ministry of Moses for a second time and under the ministry of Elijah for a fifth time.
Notice how the Seventh Seal is in a threefold mystery. Its opening is in a threefold mystery.
“Now, now, do you notice? On the opening of this Seventh Seal, it’s also in a threefold mystery. This one, I have… will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the Seven Thunders. The Seven Thunders in Heaven will unfold this mystery. It’ll be right at the Coming of Christ…”
In the mere Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ this mystery of the Seventh Seal, which is revealed by the Seven Thunders, is opened to the sons and daughters of God in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ; in other words, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the stage of the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This way, this opening of the Seventh Seal, which is a threefold mystery, that threefold mystery would be open; and when that threefold mystery is opened we can see the Son of Man coming with His Angels. This is the ministry of Jesus for a second time, the ministry of Moses for a second time and the ministry of Elijah for a fifth time, manifested by Jesus Christ, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 coming in Holy Spirit in this Last Day.
And what will this be? What will the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 to 21 be? In the book of The Seals in Spanish, page 277, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham says, while praying says:
“… may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
Who is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, it is the Spirit of Christ coming at the Last Day.
Now, how will the Holy Spirit come in the Last Day? On page 256 in Spanish, of the message of the Seven Seals and the book of the Seven Seals, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, says:
“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 was made flesh two thousand years ago in that veil of flesh called Jesus, and for this end time the Word will be made flesh once again in this end time.
The Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord came two thousand years ago in human flesh as the Lamb of God in His Work of Redemption; and the veil of flesh died on Calvary’s Cross.
And the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will come once again for the end time, which is the Word, the Holy Spirit, will come in human flesh once again; and this will be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, the Coming of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant.
And how will He come? He will come upon a snow white horse, and it will completely be Emmanuel, the Word, in other words, the Word, the Word of God incarnated in a man.
If we find that man where the Word made flesh will be, we will be finding the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in that veil of flesh, in that man who will be in present time as the instrument of the Lord Jesus Christ for the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal in that threefold way that is promised in the Seventh Seal to be manifested.
The Seventh Seal is opened in that threefold way. The opening of the Seventh Seal is in a threefold way: The ministry of Jesus for a second occasion, the ministry of Elijah for a fifth occasion and the ministry of Moses for a second occasion. There we have the mystery of the Seventh Seal in a threefold way.
And with that threefold manifestation of the Seventh Seal, because it has three purposes…, just as the Sixth Seal also has the three purposes. The Sixth Seal has three very important purposes, which are the following: Page 481 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, says:
“Now we find out, also, in this, that the Sixth Seal, now being open, it was for a threefold purpose. Now, here was the purposes. The first thing, was, that the sleeping virgin had to go through the Tribulation period for purification. She had to be purged of her sins of unbelief and rejecting the Message. This, she was done in the Tribulation period. We see they wind up over here in Revelation 7, between the 6th and 7th chapter here, that she had been purged, and she had been given her robes. Now, she is not the Bride. But it’s the church.”
In other words, that multitude with the palm branches in their hands is not the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bride of the Lamb, but rather they are the foolish virgins, that is, professing Christianity, who believed in Jesus Christ as their Savior but did not receive the Holy Spirit, so therefore they did not receive the new birth, and they did not obtain the theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
And since no person can be transformed (if they are alive) or be resurrected (if they died) without having first received Christ as their Savior and having washed their sins in the Blood of Christ, and having been born again and thus obtaining their theophanic body of the sixth dimension… to, in the Last Day, after having obtained their physical glorified and eternal body, which Christ has promised for each one of you and me as well.
We first go through believing in Christ as our Savior, cleanse our sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit, and thus receive the new birth, and this way receive the theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is the theophanic spirit in which we will live for all eternity; and then, with the theophanic spirit, we will enter into the physical body that will be eternal, which He will give us in the Last Day.
“And I will raise him up at the Last Day,” said Jesus Christ. And the Last Day is the seventh millennium; because a day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, says Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.
And for that Last Day, that Last Day before God, which is the seventh millennium, it is that Christ said in John, chapter 6, verse 39 to 40: “And I will raise him up at the Last Day.” Who? The believers in Christ who have cleansed their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received the Spirit of Christ, and thus have received the new birth.
Now, notice how for the time in which the foolish virgins will be purified, which is the first purpose of the Sixth Seal, they will be purified from the sin of unbelief, because they did not believe the Message before the great tribulation began. It says:
“This, she was done in the Tribulation period (in other words, they were purified in the time of the tribulation). We see they wind up over here in Revelation 7, between the 6th and 7th chapter here, that she had been purged, and she had been given her robes. Now, she is not the Bride. But it’s the church, the pure people that didn’t have the opportunity, maybe, to receive the Message, or in some way that they were blinded by these false prophets. And they didn’t get a chance, and yet they’re really sincere in heart. And God knows their heart. And here they are purged, during this time.”
Where? In the great tribulation, those who will be living in the end time.
Then there is another purpose, that is, the second purpose:
“You notice it, another purging time, that’s for Israel, when she gathers. That’s the second fold. God purges Israel in the Tribulation period. Out of the millions that’ll gather there, there’ll be a selected one hundred and forty-four thousand, and they will be purged, also. Notice, there is a whole earth is to be purged (that is the third purpose of the Sixth Seal). There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature, will be purged. You see what it is? The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the Millennium (in other words, for that Millennial Kingdom of Christ). The Millennium is coming up. And, see, everything that’s got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal.”
That is why we have our confessions made before God, having confessed our sins to Christ and cleansed our sins in the Blood of Christ before He leaves the Most Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven and leaves the seat of mercy, the Throne of Mercy (the Sacrifice of Christ); and then there will no longer be Blood in the chair or seat of mercy in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place.
And from then on, he who is unclean can no longer be cleansed, but will have to go through the great tribulation to be purified, if his name written in the Book of Life. And since there will be no Blood from then on, what will work for his purification will be the Sixth Seal under the time of the great tribulation.
Therefore, let us be ready, having washed our sins in the Blood of Christ confessing our faults and sins, before Jesus Christ the High Priest leaves the Most Holy Place and the Blood of Christ is removed from the Most Holy Place, from the Throne of Mercy, from the seat of mercy; because from then on, there will be no more opportunity for any person to wash their sins in the Blood the Lamb of God.
But [Revelation 22:14-16]:
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
Here we can see that those who wash their robes in the Blood of Christ are blessed, because they obtain the right to the Tree of Life to live eternally and enter through the city doors, the New Jerusalem, and live there for all eternity.
It is very important to know these things, so that way, before the Blood of Christ is removed from the seat of mercy in Heaven, there in the Most Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven… as it was removed in the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, there in the most holy place, where the high priest entered with the blood of atonement, of the kid goat that was sacrificed on the tenth day of the seventh month each year; the high priest entered there with the censer and would also take the blood of atonement, which he spread upon the seat of mercy towards the east; and then he also poured it out on the seat of mercy, which is the mercy seat that was upon the ark of the covenant, poured out that blood; and there, the intercession for the people of Israel, for the Hebrew people, was taking place for the reconciliation of the Hebrew people with God and God with the Hebrew people; so that the Hebrew people would be reconciled with God in order to receive the blessings of God.
And after the high priest came out of the place of intercession, from then on, those who had not believed in that work of the tenth day of the seventh month, and were not included, they were not included among those who believed in that work and obtained mercy, then they did not remain as individuals reconciled with God; although the Hebrew nation was reconciled with God.
And now notice how Christ as High Priest with His own Sacrifice has been making intercession for each son and daughter of God, and has been obtaining the reconciliation of each son and daughter of God.
That is why Saint Paul said2: “Be ye reconciled to God”; because Christ was doing the Work of Reconciliation there in Heaven with His Sacrifice.
And after Christ leaves that Work of Intercession in Heaven, we will be completely ⏤all of the sons and daughters of God⏤ reconciled with God, with an eternal body to live for all eternity and receive the blessings of Christ for all eternity, and reign with Christ for one thousand years as kings and priests and for all eternity.
Now we can see that this will be happening in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, wherein Christ said: “And I will raise him up at the Last Day.” Because the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God, the Voice of the Son of Man, and those who did good will come to the resurrection of life, says Christ in John, chapter 5, verses 21 to 29; and also chapter 12 of Daniel, speaks of the resurrection.
Now, we can see that all of that is included in the stages of the Seventh Seal; because the Seventh Seal has those three important stages. The Seventh Seal is in a threefold way and it has three very important stages.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us on page 464 and 465, says:
“We must remember that this Seventh Seal is the end of time, of all things. That’s right. The things written in the Seven-Seal Book, sealed up, of the plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world, it every bit ends. It is the end; it is the end of the struggling world. It’s the end of struggling nature. It’s the end of everything. In there, it’s the end of the Trumpets. It’s the end of the Vials. It’s the end of the earth. It’s the… It’s even the end of time. Time runs out. The Bible said so. Matthew, the 7th chapter… I mean, Revelation, the 7th cha-… 10th chapter and the… and 1 to the 7th verse. Time runs out. The Angel said, ‘Time will be no more,’ when that, in the days of this great thing to happen. Everything runs out.”
When what great event takes place? When the Seventh Seal is opened, that is, fulfilled.
“At the end of this Seventh Seal. Notice. It’s the end of the church age. It’s the end of the Seventh Seal. It’s the end of the Trumpets. It’s the end of the Vials, and even end the ushering in of the Millennium. That’s on the Seventh Seal.
It’s just like firing a rocket into the air. And that rocket explodes here, and it goes up and then explodes again. It puts out five stars.”
In other words, the stars come from the second explosion; in the first explosion, he does not say stars came out after that first explosion, but that then the rocket, which represents the Seventh Seal, makes an explosion, he says:
“It’s just like firing a rocket into the air. And that rocket explodes here (that is, not too high), and it goes up and then explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explode and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes and blows out five stars from it (in other words, three groups of five stars).”
And after those three explosions that the Seventh Seal does above, notice, it comes out, from that first explosion, from that first explosion it makes above, which would be the second explosion of the Seventh Seal (because the first one is done lower, then a second explosion is made above) where five stars come out of. One comes out of those fire stars, that is, one star explodes from those five stars; and from that one star that exploded, five stars come out; and from those five stars that came out, another star comes out, which explodes and five more stars come out. It says:
“… and then one of them stars explodes and blows out five stars from it. See, it fades on out. That’s, what, the Seventh Seal. It just ends the time for the world. It ends the time for this. It ends the time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time. Everything just ended up on that Seventh Seal. Now, how is He going to do it? That’s what we don’t know. Isn’t it? We don’t know. It’s even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the Millennium.”
Now we can see that the entrance to the Millennium, the seventh millennium, where the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ will be established, will be under the Seventh Seal being manifested.
It is in the time of the Seventh Seal being manifested, being opened, being fulfilled here in Earth, that the seventh millennium enters for the human race.
If we add to the calendar the years of delay it has, we are already in the seventh millennium and therefore in the time of the Seventh Seal, and the time for the second explosion of the Seventh Seal above, because the first explosion is below, notice it was… let us read it here, which was the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His seventh angel messenger in the seventh age of the gentile Church, which is an age below the Age of the Cornerstone.
Christ was also manifested in Holy Spirit through the seven angel messengers, from age to age, in the promised Word for each age, in the corresponding portion to each age. And for the Last Day, He will be manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the portion promised for the Age of the Cornerstone.
Now, let us see the Son of Man, page 22 and 23 of the book of Quotations in Spanish, says3:
“That the Son of man is now being revealed from heaven. ‘Will it come after while, Brother Branham?’ It is now. And I hope I won’t have to make this so personal of this own meeting, but that your spirit within you that’s give you by God, can read what I’m talking about. The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham, before the destruction (in other words, before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah). He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church. It’s being laughed at and scoffed at.”
And that happened under the ministry of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Marrion Branham, messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church. It was in the seventh age of the gentile Church and in the gap between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone, that that manifestation of Jesus Christ, of the Son of Man in mercy, was seen in the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church.
But notice, after that manifestation in mercy, the Son of Man through Reverend William Branham, the Son of Man, the ministry of Jesus Christ manifested in the Reverend William Branham in mercy (just as He was in mercy manifested through the seven angel messengers), then, the next time the ministry of the Son of Man will be manifested, then the second time in which the Son of Man will be manifested, it says, let us see what it says:
“The next time He reveals Hisself, it’ll be in judgment on the world and the nations that’s forgot God and sinned their way of grace— their day of grace, rather, away.”
In other words, it will be in the judgment for the nations that sinned and had forgotten of the mercy of God during the Dispensation of the Grace, wherein in Jesus Christ was manifested from age to age through each angel messenger.
And the Son of Man was manifested in grace in the seventh angel messenger, revealing Himself in His Church and to His Church, and he was discerning the thoughts of the heart of the people, just as Elohim did when He appeared to Abraham the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ate with Abraham, and discerned the thoughts of Sarah’s heart when God said that He would give Abraham a son through Sarah.
And she laughed in her heart, not with her lips nor in an audible way, but in her heart, saying: “After my lord being old and I too am old (that is, past the time of having children), will I have pleasures with my husband, with my lord?, and I will have a child?”, and she thought this in her soul and laughed in her soul with unbelief, thinking that it was impossible because she was already out of time to have children.
But God veiled in that body in which He appeared to Abraham, and the Archangels Gabriel and Michael were also there, eating with Abraham, in a visible form; one of them, Elohim, told Abraham: “Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
Sarah said: “I have not laughed.”
But God told her: “You have laughed.”
Now, Sarah had not laughed outwardly with her lips, but God judges the heart. And a person can sin before God and not do anything physically, but does it in their heart: they have sinned before God, because the fact has happened in your soul, from your heart. And God judges the heart, because He looks at the heart.
That is why on one occasion Jesus said that Moses had said: “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” but Jesus said: “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.4” Why? Because God sees the heart and sees what the person has thought there in their soul; and although he did not do it outwardly, physically, he had already done it in his soul; and God judges according to the intention of the heart of the person, because He is the One that searches the thoughts and intentions the heart.
So we can see that according to the intentions of the heart and thought of Sarah, God judged and said that Sarah had laughed; and God was angry with Sarah, but He did not kill Sarah because she was Abraham’s wife and Abraham would have the promised son through Sarah.
And she was rejuvenated as well as Abraham, when Abraham was 99 years old going on to 100 years old, and Sarah was 89 years old going on to 100 years old. And then, when they turned 100 years old, Abraham 100 years old and Sarah 90 years old, the promised son was born: Isaac; and they named him Isaac, which means “laughter.”
Sarah had laughed thinking that she would have a son being an elder, and laughed with unbelief. Abraham had also laughed before Sarah, when God had promised him a son. Notice, when God had promised this son to Abraham, he had also laughed, but let us see, Genesis, chapter 17, verse 15 and on, says:
“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.”
God had already changed Abraham’s name here in chapter 17, and Sarah’s as well. He tells Abraham about Sarah’s name change. He did not tell Sarah’s of her name change, but rather Abraham, because Abraham is the head. And it says:
“And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.”
In other words, Abraham laughed in his heart by making the question, filled with happiness, filled with joy!, because although the time to have children had passed for Abraham and his wife Sarah, God was going to give him a son and his name would be Isaac.
Notice, Abraham laughed, and now God tells him: “You will name him Isaac,” which means, what?, “laughter.” Because of Abraham’s laughter, God gave him the name of Isaac, which means “laughter”; because of that laughter of faith, of joy and happiness because of the news, the good tidings of the coming of the promised son.
And when the promised son came, how much could Abraham have laughed!, of joy, of happiness and gratefulness before God; because the coming of the promised Son is what would cause the true jubilee for all the children of God; and the promised Son for the Last Day is the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in this end time, in that threefold purpose.
It is the opening of the Seventh Seal in that threefold way, because it has a threefold purpose and it is in a threefold way: the Coming of the Son of Man is with Moses and with Elijah.
The coming of the ministry of Jesus Christ is with the coming of the ministry of Moses for a second occasion and with the coming of the ministry of Elijah for a fifth occasion; there is the threefold way of the opening of the Seventh Seal; the opening of the Seventh Seal is in a threefold way.
Without that threefold way, there cannot be an opening or fulfillment of the Seventh Seal in this Last Day; but with that threefold way, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels: the coming of the ministry of Jesus, of Moses and Elijah, we have what? The opening of the Seventh Seal. That is how we would see the opening of the Seventh Seal: in a threefold way, in a threefold form in this Last Day.
And when the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ would be seeing the Coming of the Son of Man with Moses and Elijah, that is, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, she would be seeing the ministries of Jesus for a second occasion, Elijah for a fifth occasion and Moses for a second occasion, manifested in human flesh in this end time; and that would be the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, it would be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Lord on a snow white horse, and it will be completely Emmanuel: the Word of God incarnated in a man.
And so we will be seeing the Word of God incarnated in a man, in the threefold purpose and manifestation of the Seventh Seal, because the Seventh Seal has a threefold manifestation, the Seventh Seal is in a threefold way.
If the people who are expecting the Second Coming of Christ cannot see the Seventh Seal, the Second Coming of Christ in a threefold way, well they will never be seeing the Coming of the Lord, the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, with Moses and Elijah; because it is Moses, Elijah and Jesus the ones promised to come in the Last Day; and those are their ministries being repeated in the Last Day in human flesh, in a man of the end time.
But that man will not be Jesus Christ; he will only be the veil of flesh where the ministry of Jesus will be for a second occasion, the ministry of Moses for a second occasion and the ministry of Elijah for a fifth occasion manifested by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through that man, that prophet of the Last Day and of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone, where the Seventh Seal makes that second explosion above; it makes that second explosion, where? In the Age of the Cornerstone. And that is where, from that explosion, five stars emerge; and from those five stars, one explodes and five more stars emerge; and from those five stars, one of them explodes and five more stars emerge.
And there we can see that then everything vanishes, that is, the threefold purpose of the Seventh Seal comes to fulfillment, and thus the entire Divine Program for the Seventh Seal is fulfilled. And at the end of the Seventh Seal, which is at the end of that last star that explodes and five stars come from there, and everything disappears after that because the work of the Seventh Seal is concluded and it is entered into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
In other words, the Seventh Seal will be working in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as well as the Hebrew people, because they will receive Him. And when they receive Christ, what will they be receiving? They will be receiving the Seventh Seal under the sound of the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on.
And notice how it says in the message of The Seven Ages or stages of the gentile Church, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us something very important that we cannot ignore. He says… let us see. He speaks to us of Moses and Elijah, and he also speaks to us about Christ revealing Himself to the Hebrew people.
Let us see where this is found… The Gospel is ready to go to the Jews, but before that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be in the midst of the gentile Church. And the trumpet, that Seventh Trumpet, like the Seventh Seal, will be what? The Coming of the Lord. It will sound and the dead in Christ will first resurrect (that is among the gentiles), us who are alive will be transformed (that is among the gentiles under the Seventh Seal), and then it is the Hebrew people’s turn with the coming of the Gospel of the Kingdom to the Hebrew people through Moses and Elijah, where the Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom will sound for the Hebrew people and will reveal to them the Second Coming of Christ; and they will see Him, receive Him, and will say: “This is the one we are waiting for. This is the one we have been waiting for.”
Now, we can see that that is the mystery of the Seventh Seal both for the gentile Church as well as for the Hebrew people.
On page 149 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 1333, it says:
“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, 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, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ Just resting till that time.”
And in “Broken cisterns,” page 35, also says the same thing, and in the book of Quotations it is found on page 130 and verse 1164, it says:
“‘… 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, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’”
Now, we have seen that all of this is in a threefold mystery, in a threefold way, because the Son of Man comes with His Angels.
In other words, the promise is the coming of Jesus, the coming of Moses and the coming of Elijah, there we have the threefold way that the Seventh Seal will be opened in the Last Day to carry out a threefold work in favor of the chosen of God in this end time, in order for us to be called, gathered and transformed in this end time; and for the dead in Christ to be resurrected; and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, already adopted with eternal bodies.
We have seen tonight, very quickly, THE STAGES OF THE SEVENTH SEAL, wherein we will be hearing the Voice of Christ under the Seventh Seal being opened letting us know the things that must soon take place, according to Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, where He with that Voice of Trumpet said:
“Come up hither…”
Where are we going to go up? To where the Seventh Seal makes that second explosion above.
“…and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
After the seven ages of the gentile Church, where many things took place, now there are others that must happen in the Age of the Cornerstone; and those are linked to the Seventh Seal and that big explosion from which those stars emerged, and where the Seventh Seal fulfills its purpose of His manifestation of His Coming in this Last Day, in the stages of the Seventh Seal.
In other words, the Seventh Seal goes through stages fulfilling everything that is promised for this end time, for the Coming of the Son of Man, for the Coming of the Lord to His Church and then to the Hebrew people.
He comes as the Angel Messenger to Israel, but He also comes for His gentile Church. All of that is in “THE STAGES OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
We have seen THE STAGES OF THE SEVENTH SEAL very quickly. We would need a lot of time to see these stages of the Seventh Seal with all the details; but we can see and we can thank God because in these stages of the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Seal is with us in this Last Day, in part of these stages that have to be fulfilled under the opening of the Seventh Seal.
And the Seventh Seal would be opened in this end time in and to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and it would show us all of these stages, which the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord, would be going through.
One of the most important things of the Seventh Seal is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Word, the Word coming in human flesh in the Last Day, in a man of the Last Day. That is very important in the Work that the Seventh Seal will carry out in its different stages through which the Seventh Seal will go.
And now, in and with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Seventh Seal in this Last Day will be opened and carrying out what corresponds to the stage or stages of the Seventh Seal that must be fulfilled in the midst of His gentile Church, to be changed and raptured in this Last Day, giving us the faith, the revelation of rapture, which is the revelation of His Coming with His Angels in that threefold way; and thus being prepared to changed and raptured in this Last Day.
Now we can see the relation there is between the Son of Man and His Angels: it is the threefold way of the opening of the Seventh Seal.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you tonight, giving you testimony of the stages of the Seventh Seal, the stages of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Seventh Seal, in its stages, be upon each one of you and upon me as well, and may we all soon be changed and raptured in this Last Day; those who remain to be called and gathered, who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, may they be called and gathered, and the number of the elect of God be complete, and may we be changed and raptured in this end time. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
We have seen in these stages of the Seventh Seal, the calling and gathering of the chosen; that is also in these stages of the Seventh Seal. And all of us were also in these stages of the Seventh Seal, in these stages of the Coming of the Lord, that is why we are here tonight hearing the Voice of Christ in this end time, letting us know these things that must soon take place, as He promised in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1; and in Revelation 22, verse 16, where He said: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
And 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 His Angel Messenger, He lets us know these things that must soon take place, because that is the veil of flesh, that is the man, that is the messenger where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will come in the Last Day manifested, letting us know through His Angel Messenger, all these things that must soon take place in the stages of the Seventh Seal.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present listening to the Voice of God in this Last Day.
Where are the ones who would be seeing these stages of the Seventh Seal and would be hearing the Voice of the Seventh Seal? Here we are tonight and in different places of Latin America and the Caribbean.
May God continue bless all of you, and may you all have a good evening.
Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with us again to continue and finalize our part tonight, giving thanks to our beloved Lord Jesus Christ for His blessings in the stages of the Seventh Seal.
Well, may God continue blessing you all, may God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention.
