Good evening, kind friends and brethren present in this place, here in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. It is a great blessing to be with you to share this subject with you: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.”
For which I want to read in Second Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 14 and on (14 to 21), and in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on. Let us see here where it says…, chapter 5 of Second Corinthians, verse 14 to 21, says:
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
And in chapter 8, verse 1 and on, it says:
“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 allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.”
The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work; and the Second Coming of Christ is to the New Creation, which is His Church, which contains the members of that New Creation; and the members of that New Creation are the believers in Jesus Christ as our Savior, who have received Christ as their Savior and washed their sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Holy Spirit. That is the New Creation.
And the members of that New Creation belong to the Church of Jesus Christ; because the Church of Jesus Christ is the Mystical Body of Christ, formed by the believers in Christ, by the born again, which are that New Creation.
The old creation, that came through Adam, fell; and Saint Paul tells us of a second Adam in First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 42 and on, he says:
“So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption (in other words, the dead in Christ will resurrect in an eternal body).
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit (Who is the last Adam? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ).
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven (that is why He could say1: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven”).
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.”
All the sons and daughters of God have come from where? From Heaven; and they have come to live in this mortal, corruptible and temporary body, this natural body, for a period of time, but then we will have the spiritual body, the heavenly body, and we will be like our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. We have come to this planet Earth to take our position in the Mystical Body of Christ, to take our place in the Program of God that is being carried out here on Earth.
And now, he says:
“As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”
Why? Because we are going to be people with eternal bodies like the one Jesus Christ has, and with theophanic spirits of the sixth dimension like the one the Lord Jesus Christ has, in other words, theophanic bodies of the sixth dimension like the one the Lord Jesus Christ has.
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”
With these mortal bodies of flesh and blood, we cannot inherit the Kingdom of God and be kings and priests in the Kingdom of God, in that Millennial Kingdom of Christ; it has to be in immortal bodies.
“…neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”
In other words, we cannot continue living throughout eternity with a mortal, corruptible and temporary body; it must be in an eternal body, a glorified body, like the one Jesus Christ has.
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”
In other words, there will be a transformation for all the children of God. If their physical bodies died, they will resurrect in an eternal body, a new body, a glorified body like the one Jesus Christ has, and we who are alive will be changed; and then, we will have the eternal body like the one Jesus Christ has, and the promise of Christ will be fulfilled, when He said2: “Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it falls into the ground and dies, it brings forth much fruit,” in other words, many sons and daughters of God like Jesus Christ.
He is the corn of wheat that was sown into the ground and now He is reproduced in millions of sons and daughters of God like Jesus Christ; because that is what a corn of wheat does when it falls into the ground and dies, and then it grows in the form of a plant; and Christ in the form of a wheat plant is His Church, and then, the reproduction of Christ in that wheat plant are the sons and daughters of God.
And for the Last Day, the sons and daughters of God will ripen, and they will all be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. We who are alive will reach the stature of a perfect man (meaning, the stature of Jesus Christ), men and women, sons and daughters of God, and we will be like Jesus Christ with an eternal body and also with the eternal theophanic spirit inside the eternal body; and those who died in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies and they will also be people like Jesus Christ.
They were the wheat of the age in which they lived, they were potentially the corns of wheat; just like a wheat plant, before it brings forth the wheat, we find that the life that was in the wheat goes through that wheat plant, and each one of those stages was potentially the wheat, even though no wheat was visible; and that is how it is in the ages.
From age to age, God’s sons and daughters of each age were potentially the Wheat of each age, we find that they were potentially the Corn of Wheat like Jesus Christ. But why potentially? Because the fruit of the Wheat Plant was not manifested yet, the sons and daughters of God who will be in the image and likeness of Christ while they are alive here on Earth had not come yet.
But here, when we reach the Age of the Cornerstone, that is where the sons and daughters of God will be who will reach perfection while they are alive and who will become in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ; and the dead in Christ (who were potentially the corn of wheat in the age in which they lived) will resurrect in eternal bodies, and thus, they will show that they were the wheat of the time in which they lived.
And now, we are living at the time in which the apostle Saint Paul says there will be a Last Trumpet; and if there is a Last Trumpet, it is because there were other Trumpets before that Trumpet.
And what is a Trumpet? In Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10, the apostle Saint Paul, speaking in chapter 1, verse 10 to 11 of Revelation, says):
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day…”
In what day was he? He was transported in the spirit to the the Day of the Lord, in other words, to the seventh millennium; because “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.3”
“…and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet…”
It does not say that it was a literal trumpet, but a great voice (meaning, the voice of a person) as of a trumpet (in other words, giving an urgent message to the sons and daughters of God).
“…saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Well, our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
It is the Voice of Christ giving His children, His Church, an urgent message to obtain the revelation, the faith to be changed and raptured at the Last Day; and that is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom giving us the urgent Message of the Second Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels at this end time, coming where? Coming to His Church, because His Church is the one with the promise of the Second Coming of Christ, His Church is the one that is waiting for Him and His Church is the one to which He comes at the Last Day.
And now, He comes as the Alpha and Omega, as the first and the last, speaking to His Church with that Great Voice of Trumpet.
And now, we find that He comes to His Church; He descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10, which is the same thing Jesus Christ showed in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30, when He spoke to us about the Coming of the Son of Man and told us how it would be. Chapter 24, verse 30 to 31, says:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
And in Revelation, chapter 10, says (from verse 1 and on):
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
And now, notice here how Christ, descending from Heaven clothed with a cloud and with the little Book open in His hand, gives that little Book to a man and then tells him to prophesy, that he must prophesy again before many peoples, nations and tongues.
And then follows chapter 11, verse 3 and on, says:
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”
And this is also in Zechariah, chapter 4, where it tells us about these Two Olive Trees. And now, let us see what it says that these Two Olive Trees are: chapter 4, verse 11 to 14, says:
“Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
What are the Two Olive Trees and the two olive branches? They are the Two Anointed Ones, the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the presence of the Lord of the whole Earth.
These are the Two Anointed Ones of Revelation, chapter 11. And notice that after the Mighty Angel gives the little Book of the Seven Seals to a man and he eats that little Book, then he receives the order to prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues; and then comes the ministry of the Two Olives Trees, which is the ministry of the one who eats the little Book that is opened, and the prophetic ministry comes manifested in human flesh at the Last Day.
And now, this also fulfills what Jesus Christ said referring to the Coming of the Son of Man in the clouds and showing the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, in the clouds, and then sending His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet; and His Angels are Moses and Elijah, the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
Notice how in Matthew 24, verse 30 to 31, He shows it, and then, He shows it by sending His Angels. And in Revelation, chapter 10 and chapter 11, He shows the Coming of the Son of Man in the clouds, and then He shows it by giving him the little Book to eat it, the little Book of the Seven Seals, and then He shows it by sending him to prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues. And then, in Revelation 11, the prophetic ministry of Moses and Elijah is manifested in the one who ate the little Book that is opened and he prophecies before many peoples, nations and tongues.
And thus, he is sent so that with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom he may call and gather together all of God’s elect and prophesy before many peoples, nations, tongues and kings.
That is the ministry promised for the Last Day, in the Coming of the Son of Man, in the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is the Coming of Christ, the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven.
This Mighty Angel of Revelation, chapter 10, we find Him on February 28, 1963 in a constellation of angels, in a cloud formed by angels, among which He was one of them and He was the most important of those angels; they are all in their theophanic bodies.
The seven angel messengers of the seven ages are here, and the Angel who was different from the rest is also here, who is Christ in His theophanic body, who is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who comes as it says in Revelation, chapter 10: clothed with a cloud, with His face as the sun and with the little Book open in His hand.
It is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, and now we find Him in this sign, the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, being shown to testify of the Coming of the Son of Man to Earth.
Therefore, He sends His Angels (in other words, the ministries of Moses and Elijah) from that point on, for what?: to prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues; and He sends His Angels for what? (with Great Voice of Trumpet, He sends him with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, He sends His Angels, in other words, the ministries of Moses and Elijah): to call and gather together all of God’s elect.
Now, this entire mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the Son of Man being seen in heaven, there, Christ being seen, the Angel of the Covenant, there in heaven, in that cloud, in order for Him to have His ministry in the fulfillment of His Coming and to carry out the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal (which is the Coming of the Son of Man, the Coming of the Lord)… Just as these angels had to come in human bodies in order to have their ministries here on Earth, this Angel who is different from the rest must also come in human flesh in order to have His ministry, the ministry of the Seventh Seal.
And what will be the Coming of that Angel in human flesh at the Last Day? Let us see what it will be according to what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said. On page 134 of the book The Seals says (in Spanish)4:
“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.”
We have the promise that this Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, He will come in the midst of His Church in human flesh. He is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in Holy Spirit.
But now, on page 277 of the book The Seals in Spanish says (Reverend William Branham praying says)5:
“…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.”
The Holy Spirit is the one who calls His own with that Great Voice of Trumpet at the Last Day.
And now, how will He come in order to do that work at the Last Day? How will He come in order to manifest Himself in the midst of His Church at the Last Day? On page 256 of the book The Seals in Spanish, says6:
“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.”
If we find that man in whom the Word comes, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel who was different from the rest, if we find that veil of flesh in whom this Angel comes incarnate, in whom this Angel comes manifested in human flesh, we will be finding the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in His Coming in human flesh at the Last Day, testifying to us all these things which must shortly come to pass at this end time, and calling and gathering together His elect with that Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; because in the manifestation of this Angel who descends from Heaven, who is the Mighty Angel of Revelation, chapter 10, and is the Angel that appears clothed with a cloud in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 and on, the Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and glory, notice, His Coming here to Earth in human flesh is the greatest event of the human race from Adam until this time.
The first part of the Coming of this Angel was two thousand years ago in the veil of flesh called Jesus; and for the Last Day, He will have a veil of flesh where He will be manifested, carrying out the Work pertaining to the Last Day and operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time.
Those three great ministries will be manifested in the same veil of flesh to call and gather together all of the elect of God, according to how it is promised; and thus to have the manifestation of the Two Olive Trees and Two Candlesticks of gold, which are before the presence of God, and thus, to have the Two Witnesses of Revelation, chapter 11, and then, to have the other Witness; because there are three Witnesses: Two Witnesses in Revelation, chapter 11, but there is another Witness, which is the faithful and true Witness7, who is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, those three great ministries will be the three great ministries of the three Witnesses who will be manifested at the Last Day in the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; and there, we will have the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in the same veil of flesh. We will have the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, we will have the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord of the Old Testament, which is the Jesus Christ of the New Testament.
And Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is the same Angel of the Covenant. That is why when He was here on Earth in human flesh, He said to those Hebrews, He told them: “If you were of God, you would love me (if you were God’s children)8”, and “if you were believers in Moses, if you believed Moses, you would have believed in me, for Moses spoke of me9”, and “if you were Abraham’s children, you would love me. Abraham did not do this, this that you are doing.10”
“Abraham desired to see my day; he saw it, and was glad.” They tell Him: “That’s it: you don’t have fifty years old, and you say that you have seen Abraham.” Jesus tells them: “Before Abraham was, I am.11”
And how can it be possible that a man who comes to Earth at the time in which Jesus came had been before Abraham and that Abraham had seen him? Well, simple: in His theophanic body (which is the Spirit) Jesus was already, even before Abraham, Jesus was already in His theophanic body, and even before Adam, Jesus was already in His theophanic body. Why? Because “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” and the Scripture says: “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made,” and it also says: “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.12”
That is where the origin of the human being is: in the Word that was with God and was God.
It was with God because that Word is the theophanic body of God, and it was God because God was in that theophanic body, which is the theophanic body of God; and that is Jesus Christ in the Old Testament in His theophanic body, not the veil of flesh, but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He was the one who delivered the Hebrew people and He was the one who created all things.
And now, He was made flesh according to John, chapter 1, verse 14, and it says: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” And when He was made flesh and dwelt among human beings, He was known by the name of Jesus.
And now, notice the reason Jesus could say: “Before Abraham was, I am.”
And do you know something? That before these messengers of the Lord Jesus Christ appeared, before they appeared (let us say): before the seventh angel messenger, sixth angel messenger, fifth angel messenger, before those angel messengers, notice, this Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ was already giving the apocalyptic revelation to John the apostle; therefore, that Angel can say: Before the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, he already was, that theophanic body, that theophanic spirit, is already giving the apocalyptic revelation to John the apostle.
And how will it be like when he comes in his body of flesh at the Last Day? Well, he will give the apocalyptic revelation to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, will be manifested through that veil of flesh and He will be revealing to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, and thus, He will be showing us all these things that pertain to this Last Day.
“Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.13” “Hereafter,” the things that must happen are the things that happen in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone.
They are made known by Jesus Christ through His veil of flesh, called the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; because the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be manifested in human flesh at the Last Day, and in that angel the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ, will come manifested and He will come using that messenger and He will be manifesting in that messenger the ministry of Moses for the second time, the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time and the ministry of Jesus for the second time; because that is the instrument of Christ for the Last Day, just as the instrument of Christ for each age was the messenger for each age.
And now, where was Christ manifested in each age? Well, in the relevant age, through the relevant messenger. And where will Christ be manifested at this Last Day through His Angel Messenger? Well, in His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone. And in order to see His Coming, where do we have to be? Well, in His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone.
For example, you cannot see the coming of a person who comes to your house if you are in another city; you have to be in that city where your house is and you have to be in the place where your house is.
And now, in order to see the Coming of the Son of Man no longer in heaven, but here on Earth, coming to His House, His House is His Church; and you have to be (where?) in His House, in the age in which He will come with His Angels, in which He will come with the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus. That is how the Angel of the Covenant will come, the Angel of the Covenant of the Hebrew people, which is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit. And now, how will He come?
“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.”
If we see that Word veiled in human flesh, incarnate in a man, and revealed through that man, we will be seeing the veil of flesh in whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit) will be manifested operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus at the Last Day; but we have to be (where?) in the House of God, which is His Church, as Saint Paul says in his epistle to the Hebrews.
Let us see what he tells us in his epistle to the Hebrews about the House of God; in chapter 3, verse 5 and on, he says (to not read much):
“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”
Which is the House of God? Well, we are, in other words, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the House of God; it is a House made out of human beings.
In Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 19 to 22, it says:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God (members of the Family of God as sons and daughters of God),
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Now, notice how we are being built into a spiritual House, which is the Church of Jesus Christ.
As a Mystical Body of believers, we belong to that House, to the Church of Jesus Christ; as individuals, we are being built (as individuals) as a temple of God as well. In other words, the same thing Christ is doing in His Church as a Mystical Body, is what He is doing in each member of His Church; because He will dwell in all His fullness in each one of His children, because we will be changed and then God will be in all of us in all His fullness; and He will be in His Church as a Mystical Body of believers in all His fullness, manifested through His Angel Messenger at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Now we can see who we are and we can see what the Seventh Seal is: the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord.
Let us see this Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord here in the book of Exodus, chapter 23, where it says, from verse 20 and on:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”
Now, notice who is the one that guides His people, both the earthly Israel (the Hebrew people) and the heavenly Israel (the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ): it is this Angel of the Covenant, who is the Angel of the Lord, in other words, it is the same God in His theophanic body, who was made flesh among the Hebrew people and was known by the name of Jesus. That is why He could say: “Before Abraham was, I am,” and “Abraham desired to see my day; He saw it, and was glad,” because He was the one who delivered the Hebrew people.
And for this end time, we find that He has been in His Church from age to age manifested in Holy Spirit through each angel messenger of each age, speaking with that Voice of Trumpet and calling each elect in each age.
And now, we find that He has called and gathered together His elect with the Trumpet of the Gospel of Grace in each age, and now in the Age of the Cornerstone, He comes with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, calling and gathering together His elect through His Angel Messenger.
But His Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ, His Angel Messenger is not Elijah either, His Angel Messenger is not Moses either, but in him the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord who delivered the Hebrew people (who was manifested in human flesh and was called Jesus Christ and then died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, and then descended in Holy Spirit), now, for the Last Day, He will be manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger; that will be the veil of flesh of the Angel of the Covenant for the Last Day, and through His Angel Messenger, He will be operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time.
But the Angel is not Jesus, nor is he Elijah, nor is he Moses, he is only the instrument in whom Christ operates those ministries; and Christ through His Angel Messenger is the one who will be speaking to His people with that Great Voice of Trumpet and He will be calling and gathering together all of God’s elect at the Last Day.
Some will stumble over that Angel Messenger and they may say: “But I did not expect Christ to come manifested that way!” And who told you not to expect him that way? Who told you to give a different interpretation to the Scripture? Who told you to get ahead of what God was going to do and make your own interpretation?
God would send a forerunner with the spirit and power of Elijah in his fourth manifestation preparing the people, and if you want receive him, he is the Reverend William Branham; and he is the one who came preparing the people and saying how the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 would come. He said:
“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.”
That is what we are to be expecting as the Coming of the Mighty Angel, the Angel who descends from Heaven, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant who is Jesus Christ coming in Holy Spirit at the Last Day manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
And the Angels of the Son of Man, well, they are the ministries of Moses and Elijah being manifested at the Last Day; those are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees. And how will those ministries come manifested on Earth at the Last Day? Let us see how the ministry of Elijah will come manifested on Earth at the Last Day and then we will understand what the Coming of the Two Olive Trees at the Last Day will be.
On page 399 of the book The Seals in Spanish, they ask Reverend William Branham, in question number 11, about the Elijah that will preach to the Hebrew people, they ask him14:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews, the real man who lived on earth, (in the days of Ahab), or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?
(The answer was):
I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit…”
And what do we believe? Well, we believe the same thing: a man of this time, anointed with that ministering spirit of Elijah.
And thank God for that, because if it was Elijah the Tishbite himself, how many of you know the language he spoke? You would have to start studying the language he spoke, and that language he spoke was the language of the Hebrew people of that time.
So, notice, whoever thinks he will literally be Elijah the Tishbite, well, the first thing he should do is start studying the language, the Hebrew he spoke at that time, in order to understand him; but thank God that the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says it will be an anointed man of this time with that ministering spirit manifested in him. Therefore, we will understand him, and especially if he speaks to us in our own language, even better.
“…because, see, he says, when Elijah was caught up (he went in a chariot of fire or flying saucer) and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, they said: ‘Does not…on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did.”
Elijah smote the waters of the Jordan with his mantle and crossed over to the other side with Elisha; and then, when Elijah left in a chariot of fire, Elisha took Elijah’s mantle that had fallen, and he stood in front of the Jordan (very sad because his spiritual father had left) and he smote the waters of the Jordan saying: “Where is the God of Elijah?”, and the waters parted. And when the sons of the prophets saw this, they said: “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha,” because they saw him parting the Jordan the same way the prophet Elijah did15.
And now, Elijah in his second manifestation was who? Elisha, the ministry of Elijah for the second time was in Elisha; and Elijah in his third manifestation was John the Baptist, in whom Elijah’s ministry was for the third manifestation or the third time, forerunning the First Coming of Christ.
And Elijah in his fourth manifestation was Reverend William Branham, forerunning the Second Coming of Christ; and Elijah in His fourth manifestation was opening the Seals: He opened the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth; and when he reached the seventh, he said: “This Seal cannot be opened yet. It will be opened in the Coming of the Lord, when Jesus appears on Earth, to bring His Bride.16”
And how does the Scripture say that the Son of Man will come? He will come with His Angels, therefore, the ministry of Elijah, the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Jesus will come in the fulfillment of the Coming of that Angel who is different from the rest.
And now, Elijah started opening the Seals; and now, Elijah says that the Lord Jesus Christ will be the one to open the Seventh Seal to us; and His Angels come with Him, in other words, Moses and Elijah.
Therefore, when the elect of God see the Son of Man coming with His Angels and manifesting Himself on Earth (and that will be the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man), when they see the Word, the Angel of the Lord manifested, incarnate in a man at the Last Day, and they see Him opening the Seventh Seal and revealing to His Church the mystery of the Seventh Seal, they will say: “The spirit of Elijah has rested on the Angel of Jesus Christ.”
And others will look and they will see that he is making a change in dispensation, and they will say: “The spirit of Moses has rested on the Angel of Jesus Christ,” because he comes with a dispensational Message for a new dispensation. And when they see him speaking about the Kingdom of God coming and the establishment of the Kingdom of God, and speaking about the Throne of David and speaking about all these things, they will say: “The Spirit of Jesus Christ, the ministry of Jesus Christ, has returned in His Angel Messenger.” Because those are the three great ministerial manifestations that will be in the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, in the coming or opening of the Seventh Seal here on Earth.
That is the great mystery of the Seventh Seal, and this is for the New Creation, this is for the sons and daughters of God, this is for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the Mystical Body of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone; they are granted to know this mystery, which is the greatest mystery in Heaven and on Earth, which had never been revealed before. Not even the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ was able to open that mystery, although he saw and understood what that mystery was; but he was forbidden to speak about that mystery, that is, to open, to make known that mystery: where, when, how, in whom and all these things. Why? Because that would interrupt the Program of God.
And John the apostle was forbidden to write what the Thunders spoke, because the entire Program of God would be interrupted if John the apostle had written what he heard the Thunders spoke. He would have written the content of the Seventh Seal, the content of the Second Coming of Christ, and from that time, great impersonators would have risen doing great things; and when the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal would be carried out, the enemy of God would have already altered everything to the point that the Divine Program of the Seventh Seal being manifested, the Divine Program of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh in His Angel Messenger being manifested, would go to waste, in other words, it would not have the effect it must have at the Last Day. And one of those effects is to call and gather together all the elect (with what?) with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord.
And now, notice, the territory in which that mystery would be fulfilled was not revealed at that time either, because if John revealed it, what would happen? That territory would have to be put there more openly. And the territory for that great event, according to the prophecies of Jesus in which He said that the Coming of the Son of Man will be as the lightning that comes out of the East and shines even unto the west17…
Where was the First Coming of Christ? In the East, the lightning came out of there. But where is it that the lightning, the Coming of the Son of Man, shine at the Last Day? Where? In the West, in the Latin American and Caribbean continent; because in the northern part of the Western continent, which is North America, the seventh gentile Church age was already fulfilled; and now, Latin America and the Caribbean is where the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ is fulfilled.
And that mystery was hidden under the Seventh Seal, for the new creation, for the Church of Jesus Christ as a Mystical Body of believers and for each member of that Mystical Body of Jesus Christ.
And now, that is why we can see the Work that Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, is carrying out in Latin America and the Caribbean. That is the Work that is under the Seventh Seal for the New Creation, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
What is currently happening in Latin America and the Caribbean, in the Program of God, is none other than THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION</strong>; that entire Program in action being carried out by Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, at this end time.
And now, we are blessed at this Last Day. We have been privileged to live in the territory where these great promises would be fulfilled, where the Son of Man as the lightning would be shining, and upon those which sat in darkness and shadow of death in the Latin American and Caribbean territory, a great light will shine: the Light of the Seventh Seal, the Light of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Light of the Word incarnate in a man at this end time, manifesting the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; and thus, fulfilling the promise of the Coming of the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven and calling and gathering together all His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet at this end time, in the fulfillment of THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION and in the New Creation.
Notice, it is not a human work, rather, it is the Work of the Angel who was different from the rest, of this Angel who was different from the rest, who has the Seventh Seal.
That is the Angel who was in the seven ages of the gentile Church manifested through each angel messenger; and He was traveling throughout the land of Israel, where he traveled in human flesh in Jesus of Nazareth; then, He was traveling in Holy Spirit in His apostles, then, He was traveling in Saint Paul in Asia Minor, then, He was travelling in Europe in the five messengers He sent in Europe: Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther and Wesley; and then, He was traveling through North America in Reverend William Branham, the seventh angel messenger of the seventh gentile Church age and the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ: he is the Elijah which was to come forerunning the Second Coming of Christ, that is the ministry of Elijah manifested for the fourth time. And now, in Latin America and the Caribbean, in His Angel Messenger, He would be manifested operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus traveling among the Latin American and Caribbean people.
And now, this is by setting one foot upon the sea and the other foot on the Earth. Waters represent peoples, nations and tongues; and He will be setting one foot upon peoples, nations and tongues, He will be traveling throughout peoples, nations and tongues first, manifesting His love and mercy. But remember, the feet are of burning brass, and this represents the divine judgment, they are the feet of divine judgment, they are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, those two feet of fine brass; but first, they walk through the places in which God will be extending His mercy, which is Latin America and the Caribbean, to bless all the Latin American and Caribbean people.
And notice the territory with the blessing of the Coming of the Son of Man as the lightning, the Coming of the Son of Man setting His right foot upon the sea and His left foot on the Earth; because He places the right one upon the sea (in other words, the nations, peoples and tongues He will travel through) and the left one on the land, because the veil of flesh in whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven will be manifested in human flesh must come from a certain territory.
So we can see this mystery of the Seventh Seal and we can see where He will be manifested through human flesh: it will be in the New Creation, in His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age that pertains to the Latin American and Caribbean people. That is the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, notice, the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ is among the Latin American and Caribbean people; therefore, you as individuals are represented there in gold. To God, you are gold, and you are precious stones, living stones; you are the best kind of stones there are: you are diamonds to God.
And now, notice, if we are living stones that belong to the Age of the Cornerstone, the age that will reflect, that will manifest the seven colors of the rainbow but in a full circle, then what could be better than a well-cut diamond to reflect the seven colors of the rainbow, where the light enters that stone and manifests the prism, those seven colors of the rainbow?
And now, the Age of the Cornerstone, which is well-cut by the Angel of the Covenant, notice, manifests the Light of Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, coming with His face as the sun, shining, and the seven colors of the rainbow being manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age and also the Diamond Age, of living stones, diamonds, which are God’s elect.
Now notice, the people who they thought did not progress like developed European peoples and peoples from other continents that call themselves developed, now it is the territory with God’s blessing and with the promise of being the territory with the most prosperity along with the Hebrew people.
And we can say: “Latin America and the Caribbean sure do have a future! Because its future is not in the gentile kingdom, but in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, in that glorious Millennial Kingdom. And the Hebrew people sure do have a future! Because its future is in the Kingdom of the Messiah, in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
Now, notice the nations that do have a future: the Latin American and Caribbean nations and the Hebrew nation; those are the nations that have the most glorious future of all the nations.
And there will be an opportunity for the other nations, of course, but do you know something? The glorious Millennial Kingdom will be full of Latin American and Caribbean people, not only the elect, but we pray for all the Latin American and Caribbean people, and for all of our Latin American and Caribbean nations so that during the judgments of the great tribulation, the Latin American and Caribbean nations are not destroyed and they may enter with their people into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And in that glorious Millennial Kingdom, all nations will be taught, “because the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (in other words, with the Second Coming of Christ) as the waters cover the sea,” and “there will be one Lord, and His Name one”; in other words, there will only be one way to believe in God and serve God18.
Therefore, everything will come out of the land of Israel, out of Jerusalem, because that is where the capital of the entire world will be, and the territory of Israel will be the Federal District. Therefore, the Department of Finance of that Kingdom will be there, the Department of Religion as well, the Department of Education; all the departments of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ will be in the Federal District.
And God’s elect, the New Creation, the ones born again during the seven ages of the gentile Church and in the Age of the Cornerstone, where will they be? They will also be there in the land of Israel as kings and priests. That is the Cabinet of Christ, that is His Cabinet for that glorious Millennial Kingdom.
Because Christ has redeemed us with His Blood, He washed our sins and He has redeemed us to our God and made us (what?) kings and priests. And what else? And we will reign with Him, with Christ, for one thousand years (to what?) to begin with. And that is a good beginning, that is just the honeymoon of Christ and His Church, and then we will have all of eternity.
And do you know something? We will look at ourselves in the mirror and say: “I have a young body”; and then, let us say, one thousand years later, if we look at ourselves again, we will be able to say: “And it still has not grown old. It doesn’t even appear to have aged a year, and one thousand years have passed”; and then, one million years later, we will look at ourselves again and say: “It does not look a day older, and one million years have passed.” Why? Because that is an eternal body, a glorified body.
And now, when we see our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His body, which was resurrected and which is a glorified body, we will see Him and we can tell Him: “It looks like you have not aged a year, you are young.” Why? Because in that glorified body, in that eternal body, we will remain young throughout eternity. It is a perfect body, an eternal body, a body whose atoms will be different from the atoms of this mortal body.
And now, that is all for whom? For each one of you and for myself as well, under THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.
We have to belong to that New Creation, which is His Church, in order to obtain all those blessings that He has promised for the New Creation; and where will that New Creation, His Church, be at this end time? In the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone. And where will that stage be in fulfillment? Well, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
We have been given the greatest blessing in Latin America and the Caribbean out of all the blessings of Christ for His Church!
We are living in the territory of God’s blessing, the blessing of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord; the blessing of Christ, the blessing of the Seventh Seal being manifested on Earth at this end time, in the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man in His Church, which is the New Creation, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.”
What is the New Creation? As individuals, the believers in Christ who have received Him as their Savior and have washed their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit, and have a theophanic body; and the New Creation as a Mystical Body is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, what is the Seventh Seal? It is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, it is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is Jesus Christ, who came in human flesh two thousand years ago, and for the Last Day, He will come manifested in another veil of flesh which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Even though His Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ, in him, Jesus Christ will be manifested in human flesh, and the ministry of Moses will also be manifested in human flesh and the ministry of Elijah will also be manifested in human flesh. That is the mystery of the Seventh Seal that caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour when it was opened in Heaven.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.”
Here we are, here we are at this Last Day, according to how God said we would be.
THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION, in other words, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, coming to His Church; and here we are at this Last Day.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.” The Coming of the Angel of the Covenant and His Church.
That is the same thing that was shown in the parable of the ten virgins. When the cry was made19: “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him!”, the ones who were ready, rose and the others rose too, and some had oil in their lamps, but the others did not. And those who did not have oil in their lamps or in their vessels, we find that they told the wise ones: “Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out”, and the wise ones said: “Go rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves, lest there be not enough for us and you too.”
And while those who did not have oil went to buy oil…, in other words, those who had believed in Christ as their Savior, but had not received the Holy Spirit, because the oil represents the Holy Spirit.
Now, while they were going, those who were ready, we find that the Scripture says that the Bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage; in other words, the Bridegroom came, the Seventh Seal was fulfilled, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels was fulfilled, and those who were ready went in with Him to the Marriage and the door was shut.
We are at the time in which all the elect of God are being called and gathered together, all the wise virgins (for what?) to go in with Him, with Christ, in His Coming, with the Seventh Seal; and soon the door will be shut. And when the door is shut, Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession in Heaven and there will no longer be an opportunity for any other person to enter into the Mystical Body of Christ, the Age of Cornerstone, and become part of those elect who will be changed at the Last Day.
Then, the resurrection of the dead in Christ will come and the transformation for us who are alive. And then, we will be here on Earth for 30 to 40 days, in our new body, and then, we will go to Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father, to the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Just like in weddings, most of the time when there is a wedding, the wedding takes place and then they go on to the next part, which is the reception (some people have it in the same place and others have it in a different place).
And we find that Christ carries out the union with His Church on Earth, those who are ready enter into the Marriage with Christ, and then, where will we have the reception? In the House of our heavenly Father; the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be there, where Christ will give out His gifts, His rewards, to all His children, to all the members of that New Creation, for all the works carried out in the Work of Christ with divine love by each son or daughter of God who has worked in the Kingdom of God, in favor of Jesus Christ; because “your labour is not in vain in the Lord.20” He says that He comes and His reward is before Him, in other words… Let us read it correctly, He says:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me…”
He says:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be.” (Revelation 22, verse 12).
And Jesus spoke about this same thing in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27, when He said:
“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.”
And now, this is for the Last Day, of which Saint Paul said21:
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
From that point on, not one child of God will die. Why? Because we will have an eternal body, and if it is an eternal body, it is an immortal body, a perfect body like the one our beloved Lord Jesus Christ has.
Notice that it is for the time of the Last Trumpet, for the time of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, revealing to us the mystery of His Coming.
It has been a great privilege to be with you this evening, testifying to you about “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.”
May the blessings of the Seventh Seal, of Jesus Christ, the Angel of Covenant, be upon all of you and upon myself as well, and soon, may we all be changed and taken to the Marriage Supper of Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
May you all have a wonderful evening, and I leave Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with you again to continue and conclude our participation on this occasion.
While Miguel gets here…
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE NEW CREATION.”
Where are the people who will see that mystery of the Seventh Seal and the New Creation? Well, here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean; part of us are here in the Republic of Mexico and the other part are in each country of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Well, may God continue to bless you all, may God keep you, and have a wonderful evening.
With us, Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin.
