The Coming of the Lord with the clouds

Good afternoon, beloved brethren and friends present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, to share with you the most mysterious subject of the whole Bible, of which Christ said that neither in Heaven nor on Earth, nor the angels, not even the Son of Man, nor anyone knew when would be the day and hour,¹ the day and hour of the Coming of the Son of Man, which pertains to the Last Day.

I was detained a little bit, but look, I think I progressed a lot. God has halted for six thousand years (and six thousand years is more than the few minutes I was detained there); He has paused, He withstood six thousand years, the human being already here on Earth, to reveal that mystery.

So I have progressed a lot, but the time I have taken is to bring it as clear as possible. And that is what God has done during these six thousand years: He has been accumulating more and more Word, more and more prophecy; because through the prophets He increased the prophecy, by sending the prophets at different times; and so through the prophets speaking with parables and in different ways, not only about the things that already happened, but about the Second Coming of Christ.

See how it tells us here: In Hosea, chapter 12, verse 10, it says:

“I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.”

How did God increase prophecy? By sending prophets and speaking through the prophets, in all the ways God gave His prophets to speak: By parables, by these different symbols and even in the lives of the prophets, reflecting the whole Divine Program relevant to His Second Coming.

And now, let’s go to Revelation, chapter 1, verse 7, where it tells us (7 to 8, it says):

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

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

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS.”

This is the most outstanding subject of the whole Bible, and it is the most mysterious subject of the whole Bible. It is the mystery that God hid in His Mind; and He never revealed it neither to the Hebrew people nor to the gentiles, because that is the mystery that for the Last Day He would reveal to His Church; that is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which, when the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven, there was silence in Heaven.²

That mystery is so great that there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour. And with that silence that was manifested in Heaven, the enemy of God, the devil, was prevented from knowing that mystery, and therefore the devil was prevented from being able to imitate the fulfillment of that mystery, and thus prevented the devil from having his way.

This is the greatest mystery of all the Bible, and therefore it is the mystery that with its fulfillment will bring the faith for the rapture to God’s elect, it will bring them the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured in this end time.

That is why we have to take this subject seriously: “THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS,” because the revelation of this mystery is what gives us the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured, caught up to Heaven, to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In other words, no person can be transformed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, being alive here on Earth, without first knowing this mystery.

And this mystery can only be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ through the manifestation of this mystery by sounding the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the same Voice of Christ speaking to His Church; which spoke to her in the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church through His angels, seven angel messengers, and for the Last Day He would be speaking to His Church and revealing to her all these things that must shortly come to pass, in this end time.

And the Voice of Christ in the Last Day appears in Revelation, chapter 10; because Revelation, chapter 10, is the Coming of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, it’s the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, it’s the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, it’s the Coming of Jesus Christ, which in the Old Testament was known by the name of the Angel of the Lord, the one that delivered the Hebrew people from bondage there in Egypt.

Now, let’s see here on page 128 what Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, tells us in the book of The Seals. He says:³

“²⁵⁸ Oh my! Seven Thunders, of Revelation, may He show the Bride how to prepare for the great translation faith!”

In other words, without those Seven Thunders being heard by the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no preparation to be transformed and raptured; and therefore, there is no faith, no revelation, for our transformation and rapture, which is promised in the most important book of all books on Earth: The Bible.

And now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is required to listen to the Seven Thunders. And what are the Seven Thunders? Let’s see in the Bible itself what the Seven Thunders are.

In Revelation, chapter 10, we can see what the Seven Thunders are; it says Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on… Remember that it’s the Coming of the Mighty Angel; and the Mighty Angel is Christ, He is the Angel of the Covenant; that is why He comes with the rainbow around His head, and He comes clothed in a cloud. It says:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, 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.”

These Seven Thunders is the Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven; and cries as when a lion roars, for He comes as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the Voice of the Angel of the Covenant, the Voice of the Angel of the Lord, the Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, the Voice of Jesus Christ.

This same Voice we hear it here or we find it here in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, where John the apostle says:

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

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

Here we can see that this voice of the Great Voice of Trumpet is the Voice of Christ. And in Revelation, chapter 10, the voice of the seven thunders is also the Voice of Christ; it is the same Voice presented in seven thunders.

And now, this Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven clothed in a cloud is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant. How was it promised, that He would come how? He would come with the clouds.

Now, we can see all those prophecies that speak of the Coming of the Son of Man with the clouds, and we can, in this end time, have all those prophecies, to place them with the fulfillment of those prophecies, and be able to have the clear picture of what the Coming of the Lord with the clouds is.

Let’s see, in the book of The Ages it says (Reverend William Branham says) [page 30]:⁴

“He is coming. Jesus is coming. God is coming. The Prophet is coming (now look: Jesus, God and the prophet). The Priest and King is coming. The ALL-in-ALL is coming. Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly. Amen.

He is coming. He is coming in clouds, clouds of glory as when He was seen upon the Mount of Transfiguration, and His garments were shining as the power of God enfolded Him. And EVERY eye shall see Him. That means this is not the Rapture. This is when He comes to take over His rightful place as World Ruler.”

And now, further down it says:

“And it shall…”

“This is when those who have pierced Him with their creeds and denominational doctrines shall mourn, and all the people shall wail in terror because of Him Who is the Word. This is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14. Zechariah prophesied this about 2500 years ago. It is just about to take place. Listen. ‘And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced,…’ Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentiles is finished. The Gospel is ready to go back to the Jews. Oh, if I could just tell you something that is about to happen right in this our day. This great thing that is about to happen will carry over to Revelation 11…”

And Revelation 11, what is it? The Two Anointed Ones who stand before the presence of God, which in the tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built are represented in the two golden cherubim, and also in the two cherubim of olive wood that King Solomon built.

“…and pick up those two witnesses, those two prophets, Moses and Elijah, turning the Gospel back to the Jews. We’re ready for it. Everything is in order. As the Jews brought the message to the Gentiles, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews, and the Rapture will come.”

And how did the Gospel come from the Jews to the gentiles? Through the manifestation of the Spirit of God through Saint Peter⁵ and then Saint Paul,⁶ two persons there who are also type and figure of the Two Anointed Ones who will be at the Last Day; and Peter and Paul were the main figures in the beginning.

And now, we find that for the Last Day, just as those who brought the Gospel to the gentiles were among the Hebrews, now those who will bring the Gospel to the Hebrews, from where will they take it to them? Here it says:

“As the Jews brought the message to the Gentiles, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews, and the Rapture will come.”

And how are they going to take the Gospel to the Hebrews from among the gentiles, if the Hebrews have not believed the Gospel of Grace?

The apostles tried to convert the Hebrew people to Christ, and they couldn’t; Saint Peter, Saint Paul and all the apostles, and also the seven angel messengers.

And the seventh angel messenger, who wanted to convert the Hebrew people to Christ, when he was in Egypt and was about to take the plane to Israel, the Angel told him not to go, that it was not the time and that it was not the place for him.⁷ Why? Because he was the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church, and it was not up to him to take the Gospel to the Hebrews, because it has to be according to Revelation, chapter 11.

And that Elijah who brings the Gospel to the Hebrews is not the fourth Elijah, but the fifth Elijah⁸ and he goes together with the second Moses; those are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Two Olive Trees.

Therefore, the angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church was not anointed with the ministry of Elijah in his fifth manifestation, but in his fourth manifestation; therefore, he would be taking the place of another who would come after him with the manifestation of the fifth ministry of Elijah. That is why the Angel stopped him.

And what was he going to preach to them? The Gospel of Grace. And where was he going to put them? In the seventh gentile Church age. And the gentile Church ages have to end first, and then the Door of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will open and the preaching of the Kingdom will reach the Hebrew people; because the Elijah that will bring the Message to the Hebrew people will go with the Gospel of the Kingdom, revealing to the Hebrew people the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man, of the Coming of the Lord, in this end time. And when they receive it, then they will understand what the First Coming of Christ was.

Now, we can see that none of the believers, of the ministers and messengers of the Church of Jesus Christ during the seven stages of the Church, none of them could take the Gospel to the Hebrews; because the gathering of all the elect from among the gentiles has to be completed, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has to be completed, as Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter 11, verse 25 and on, where he says that the blindness for the Hebrew people has been “in part, until the fullness of the gentiles comes in; and then all Israel shall be saved”; in other words, 144,000, which is all of Israel to God, which are God’s elect in the midst of the Hebrew people; which will be called, gathered and sealed with the Seal of God, by the Angel that comes with the Seal of God in Revelation, chapter 7.

That is the Angel that brings the Gospel back to the Hebrew people, he brings them the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is Elijah and that is Moses also; because in him will be manifested —by the Holy Spirit— the ministries of Moses for the second time, and of Elijah for the fifth time and of Jesus for the second time.

Now, will this be a man from the past who will return to Earth? Let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 399 of the book of The Seals, where he was asked —in question number 11— who would be this Elijah who would preach to the Hebrew people. He says (the question reads as follows):⁹

“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews, the real man who lived on the earth, or will he be the spirit of Elijah in some other man?

(The answer was):

^[148] I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see, there, when Elijah had gone up and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, he says, ‘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, see.”

Who will be this Elijah who will bring the Message to the Hebrews, the Gospel to the Hebrews? It will be a man of this time anointed with that spirit.

On page 449 of the book of The Seals it says:¹⁰

“⁸⁹ Now, there is only one person could fulfill that, only one Spirit that’s ever been on the earth, that I know of. Would either be… It would have to be Elijah, in his time. And it was predicted that it would be, which is nothing but the Spirit of Christ.

⁹⁰ When Christ come, He was the fullness. He was the Prophet.”

Now notice that it is the Spirit of Christ which was manifested in Elijah; He was manifested in Elisha, in the second manifestation of the ministry of Elijah; He was manifested in John the Baptist, in the third manifestation of the ministry of Elijah; He was manifested in Jesus; He was manifested in the fourth Elijah, the Reverend William Branham; and that same Spirit will be manifested in this end time, in a man of this end time anointed with the Holy Spirit, anointed with the Seal of the living God, where the Holy Spirit will be operating the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time and the ministry of Moses for the second time.

And that is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ who in the Last Day comes anointed with the Holy Spirit, comes with the Seal of the living God, which is the Holy Spirit; and through that Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit (which is the Angel of the Covenant, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit) will be operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus in this end time, and will be fulfilling the coming of Elijah for the fifth time, the coming of Moses for the second time and the Coming of Jesus for the second time.

That is the mystery of the Angel that John wanted to worship, and the Angel told him not to do so¹¹; because in that Angel comes Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; but that Angel is neither the prophet Elijah of the time of Ahab, who left in a chariot of fire; nor is he the prophet Moses, through whom God delivered the Hebrew people; and neither is he the Lord Jesus Christ.</sup>

That man is a prophet, a man of this end time, in whom will be the same one who was in Moses, and the same one who was in Elijah, and the same one who was in Jesus: The Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, that is the one who will be in that messenger of this Last Day operating the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah, and thus fulfilling the promises that God has made for this end time.

And this is how Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, veiled in human flesh and revealed through human flesh in this end time, in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels will come.

Where the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in the Last Day, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus is, there will be the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. Where the ministry of Jesus is, there will be by obligation the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Moses as well.

“For the Son of Man shall come with His Angels”¹²; therefore, where one is, there will be the other two (ministries).</sup>

Now we can see this mystery, which is the greatest mystery in the whole Bible; there is no greater mystery than this.

But what did Reverend William Branham say in relation to that mystery? Let’s see on page… let’s see, page 16, 17 and 18 of the book of The Seals, let’s see what he says here… it says:¹³

“¹¹¹ Catch those two Scriptures. ‘Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?’ Even then Jesus thanked God that He had hid the mysteries from the wise and prudent, and would reveal it to babes such as would learn, for it seemed good to God to do that.

¹¹² Now, from this text, or, to call it, or from this Scripture reading, I draw this text: God Hiding Himself In Simplicity, Then Revealing Himself In The Same.”

Now, what were the mysteries that God hid from the wise and prudent theologians of that time? The First Coming of Christ.

And for the Last Day, what is the hidden mystery that caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour? The Second Coming of Christ.

And that mystery has been hidden from the wise and prudent, but would be revealed to the children in this end time. And it doesn’t mean literally children, but to the sons and daughters of God, who as children have been born into the Kingdom of God by receiving Christ as their Savior and washing their sins in the Blood of Christ; therefore, they were born as children. These are the children who will receive the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ.

He continues to say:

“¹¹³ It is strange to think how that God does such a thing as that. God will hide Himself in something so simple that’ll cause the wise to miss it a million miles; and then turn right back around, in that, some simple thing in the simplicity of His way of working, and reveal Hisself right out again. I thought it made a—a text, that we might study this before we go into the—the—the great Teachings of the Seven Seals. Many miss Him by the way He reveals Himself.

¹¹⁴ Now, men has their own ideas of what God ought to be and what God is going to do. And as I have made the old statement many times, that, man still remains man. Man is always giving God praise for what He did do (praising God for what God did in the past), and always looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He is doing (ignoring what He is doing in the present). See? See? That’s the way they miss it. They look back and see what a great thing He done, but they fail to see what a simple thing He used, to do it with. See? And then they look forward and see a great thing coming, that’s going to happen, and, nine times out of ten, it’s already happening right around them. And it’s so simple that they don’t know it.”

And further down, on this page 17, it says:¹⁴

“¹²⁰ Not the great glamorous things that we think about, but it’s the simple things that God is so real in, the simplicity. So, it pleases God to reveal Himself, and then hide Himself; then hide Himself, and reveal Himself, in simple, little things. It’s—it’s put over the top of the head of man. Because, if you’d say, ‘Why would a just God do that?’

¹²¹ Is because that man was made up, in the beginning, not to try to shift for himself. A man was made to rely completely upon God. That’s the reason we’re likened unto lambs, or sheep. A sheep cannot lead himself; he has to have a leader. And the Holy Spirit is supposed to lead us. So, man is made that way.

¹²² And God made all of His works so simple, that the simple could understand it. And God makes Himself simple, with the simple, in order to be understood by the simple. In otherwise, He said, in Isaiah 35, I believe. He said, ‘Though a fool, should not error therein.’ It’s so simple!

¹²³ And we know that God is so great, till we expect it to be some great something, and we miss the simple thing. We stumble over simplicity. That’s how we miss God, is by stumbling over simplicity. God is so simple until the scholars of these days, and all days, miss Him a million miles. Because, in their intellects, they know that there is nothing like Him, so great; but, in His revelation, He makes it so simple they go plumb over the top of it and miss it.”

And he goes on to say further down, on this page 18 of the book of The Seals:

“¹²⁵ Miss Him by the way that He reveals Himself; for He is so great, yet, hides Himself in simplicity, to make Hisself known to the least.”

And now… He goes on to say:

“Don’t try to get the great, because He goes over the top of it. But listen to the simplicity of God, and then you find God right here in the simple way.”

And now, let’s look at page 472 of the book of The Seals, where we have more information of the simple way in which all this great mystery of the Seventh Seal, of the Coming of the Lord in the clouds, would be fulfilled. It says:¹⁵

“^[304] Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal.”

What is the Message of the end of time? In other words, what is the Message of the Last Day, of the seventh millennium, what is it? This Seal: The Seventh Seal. And the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Lord. That is the Message of the Last Day, of the seventh millennium.

“After all, He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret…”

In other words, the Seal of the end of time, the Seventh Seal (which is the Second Coming of Christ), when the fulfillment of that Seventh Seal (that is, the fulfillment of His Coming) begins, it will all be a secret; as was the First Coming of Christ.

The First Coming of Christ, when it began to be fulfilled, when it’s fulfillment began, notice, it was God creating a cell of life in Mary’s womb, which multiplied cell upon cell, and thus was formed, the body of Jesus was created in Mary’s womb; and after the expected time was fulfilled, she gave birth in Bethlehem of Judea.

But who knew about this mystery of the Coming of Christ? Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth and Zechariah (Elizabeth’s husband, who was a priest; and Elizabeth was a relative of Mary). And then, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, the shepherds who received the Angel with the heavenly Army, those heavenly hosts singing, and told the shepherds to go to Bethlehem of Judea and they would find the Messiah wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger¹⁶; those people knew that the Messiah was on Earth, those people knew that the Coming of the Messiah had been fulfilled.</sup>

And then, two years later, the wise men came from Ur of the Chaldees, from Babylon, and they came to Jerusalem looking for the Messiah; but He wasn’t there. They were informed that the Messiah had to be born in Bethlehem of Judea: They went to Bethlehem of Judea, because they were looking for the Messiah.¹⁷ And when a person is looking for something as important as the Coming of the Messiah, he can’t stop until he finds it.

The sign of the Coming of the Messiah had already been seen in the sky, it had already been appearing in the sky for two years; and that sign is called the Star of Bethlehem. That is why the wise men came to Jerusalem saying: “Where is the King of the Jews, who has been born? For we have seen His star in the East.”

They had seen His star there in the sky, they being there in the East, living there in Babylon; and they had come out of the East, they had gone out of Babylon, bound for Israel. Israel was to the West; in other words, Israel was to the west of Babylon. That is, they had a journey from East to West. And west of Babylon, which is the land of Israel, they found the Messiah.

And now, they found Him in Bethlehem of Judea, they offered Him their gifts: Gold, incense and myrrh, and worshiped Him, and then left. Look, such a great journey to come to worship the Messiah, and offer Him their gifts, and then leave; because they came looking for the Messiah: They were believers in the biblical prophecies and they were descendants of those Hebrews who had been taken captive to Babylon.

And because the Bible said in Numbers that a star would come out of Jacob,¹⁸ they were always looking for that star in the sky; and when they saw that sign in the sky…; because whenever God does something on Earth He shows it in the sky; it’s in the sky that the signs of what He is doing on Earth appear.

That is why Jesus Christ also spoke of the signs in heaven, and said that “when you see these things happening, lift up your heads to heaven, for your redemption is near.”¹⁹ And He was speaking about what? About the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; He was speaking about the Coming of the Son of Man in the clouds or with the clouds.

And when that sign is seen in heaven, every person has to raise his eyes to Heaven: He has to raise his eyes to God, and seek and serve God all the days of his life; and to prepare himself through the Message of God for that time, to be prepared to be transformed and raptured, because your redemption (that is, the transformation of the body, which is the redemption of the body) is near.

Christ already carried out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross, but our physical body is still unredeemed. What does that mean? That our physical body is still mortal, corruptible and temporary.

Our physical body doesn’t have eternal life; that is why it is born, grows, becomes a child, then becomes a youngster, then becomes an adult, then becomes an old person and dies. That is what awaits the physical body because it still needs redemption, that is, it needs to be transformed in order for us to have an eternal body, a redeemed body; and that is what God has promised and what Saint Paul also speaks about. Christ said: “Your redemption is near, when you see these things take place, these signs in heaven.”

And Saint Paul, in Romans, chapter 8, speaks to us of the redemption of the body and tells us, speaking of the adoption, in chapter 8 of Romans (let’s see)… Chapter 8, verse 21 and on, it says:

“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

What is it that the sons and daughters of God have been waiting for all this time? The redemption of our body, which is the transformation of our bodies; and the dead in Christ: Their resurrection in eternal and glorified bodies, equal to the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

We shall have a body equal to the body of Jesus Christ when we who are alive are transformed and the dead in Christ are resurrected. They will be resurrected in an eternal body, a new body, and we will be transformed. That is the redemption of the body, and that is the adoption for every son and daughter of God.

Now let’s see what it says next here, on page 472, where we were reading, of the book of The Seals</em>; let’s read this again, it says:²⁰

“^[304] And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible, before knowing That.”

When what? When it begins. Like when the First Coming of Christ began in the midst of the human race, in the midst of the Hebrew people: When it began it was a secret for the priests, for the high priest, for the Hebrew religion and for the citizens of Israel, except for a very small group, who knew that the Messiah was already on Earth.

Then it came to be made known publicly to the Hebrew people; about thirty years after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, it came to be made known publicly that the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah was a reality.

And that happened when John the Baptist came preaching that after him would come one greater than he; and he said that the one who would come after him would baptize them with Holy Spirit and Fire; and he identified the one who would come after him as the Lamb of God, as the Messiah.²¹

And when he saw Him, He said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is He of whom I said that He would come after me; and it is He that shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and Fire”; in other words, He who would carry out that part of the redemption, where He would give us a theophanic body of the sixth dimension by believing in Him —in Jesus Christ— as our Savior, washing our sins in His Blood and receiving His Holy Spirit.

And now, look at the simple way in which the First Coming of Christ was. And what was truly the First Coming of Christ? The First Coming of Christ was nothing less than the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, clothed in human flesh. That is what Malachi prophesied in chapter 3, where He said: Chapter 3, verse 1, says:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me (Who is sending His messenger? The Angel of the Covenant): and the Lord, whom ye seek (Who is the one who will come after the messenger He sends to prepare the way? The one who will come after him is the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who delivered them from bondage in Egypt), shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in…”

Who is the Lord that shall come? The Angel of the Covenant, the one that delivered the Hebrew people, and the one that dwelt in the most holy place of the tabernacle that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built; He dwelt upon the mercy seat.

Now, notice that this Angel of the Covenant said to Moses when He revealed Himself to Moses, this Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord said to Moses: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”²²; because God was in His theophanic body —called the Angel of the Covenant— manifested, but He would come among the Hebrew people later on, in human flesh.</sup>

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”

He is the same of whom Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1, says:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

And now, we find that He is the Word that was with God and was God (John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on). And verse 14 of that same chapter 1 says:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Who came in human flesh? The Word, who was with God and was God, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.

That is why the prophet Isaiah, in chapter 7, verse 14, says that “the Lord Himself shall give you a sign (a sign): Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called (what?) Emmanuel,” which translated is: God with us.²³ God became man by creating that body in Mary’s womb, to dwell in that body that was born of the virgin Mary.

What is the most similar to God? Man, because God made man in His image and likeness.²⁴

And now, when God made the image to man, He made him a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and then, when He made a likeness to man, He made him a body of flesh from the dust of the earth, and placed him in that body of flesh.

And now, the image of God is His theophanic body, and the likeness of God is His body of flesh that He created in Mary’s womb; and that body of flesh was called Jesus.

And now, God for the end time will give us an eternal and glorified body, just like the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. He has already given us a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit; and thus God has given us a new body of another dimension, theophanic, of the sixth dimension; and thus God is creating a new race with eternal life.

You see, it’s not a matter of sectarianism, it’s not a matter of religions, but it’s a matter of the creation of a new race, which Jesus Christ, the second Adam, is creating. And the first man of that new race is called the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the beginning of God’s Creation,²⁵ of that New Creation that He is creating.

And that is why Jesus Christ is the one who is creating that new race; and that is why we will all be fully in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ; and we will live for the Millennium and for all eternity with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, reigning with Him as kings and priests for the Millennium and for all eternity.

Now, we have seen what the First Coming of Christ was: The Coming of the Word, the Word made flesh in a man called Jesus; the Word, who was with God and was God (that is, God with His theophanic body, which is called the Word), becoming flesh, coming in a veil of flesh and manifesting Himself through that veil of flesh.

The Holy Spirit was there manifested in all His fullness. John saw Him descending in the form of a dove upon Jesus, and said: “That is the man; for He who sent me to baptize said to me: ‘Upon whom you see the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove on him and remaining on him, that is He: that is the one to whom you are preparing the way.’”²⁶

And now, for the Last Day, that same Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, will return. He is the Word that was with God and was God, and for the Last Day He will become flesh in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just as He became flesh in the midst of Israel (of the earthly Israel) in the veil of flesh called Jesus, one of the midst of the Hebrew people, who was a disciple of John the Baptist first, and had followed the Message of John, and then began His ministry.

You see, the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in one of the disciples of John the Baptist, in one of the disciples of the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ. And everything was so simple that after John presented Him as “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (that is, that this was the man to whom he was preparing the way), there came a stage in John the Baptist’s life, when he was in prison, that he sent to ask Jesus if He was the one who was to come or they would wait for someone else. If Jesus wasn’t the man who was to come after John the Baptist, then John the Baptist wasn’t the forerunner of the Messiah either.

But Jesus didn’t command to say to John: “I am,” but said to John’s disciples: “Go and tell John these things that you are seeing. Go to him and tell him that the blind see: you have seen how the blind have been healed; the crippled walk: you have seen how the crippled have been healed; and the poor have the Gospel preached to them: you have seen that all these people who are here are poor people, simple people, to whom I am preaching the Gospel. Go and tell John all that you have seen.”²⁷

And He didn’t say to them: “Tell John that I am,” no.

—“Tell John what I am doing.”

Why? Because those were the things that the Messiah had to be doing at that time. And the Messiah is identified by the works that He would be doing in the fulfillment of the works that were prophesied that the Messiah would do.

And the only one who was doing those works at that time, was whom? The Lord Jesus Christ. So it had to be enough for John to know what Jesus Christ was doing to testify that this was the one who would come after him, and that what he had said at the beginning about Jesus was correct. That was the man, that was the man for whom John prepared the way.

On one occasion some of the Pharisees had come to John, saying of Jesus: “Look, he of whom you gave testimony, now baptizes more people than you, and more people follow Him than you. The one who was with you is now on the other side, over there; He is preaching, more people follow Him than you, and He baptizes more people than you.” John said: “It is convenient for Him to increase, and for me to decrease.”²⁸

If John hadn’t been the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, he would have been very jealous, and perhaps he would have spoken negatively; but John said: “It is convenient for Him to increase, and for me to decrease.”

And those who went with Jesus, went with the one who had the promise to increase; and those who stayed with John the Baptist, stayed with the one who had the promise to decrease. Therefore, about the story of John the Baptist and Jesus: We find that little is written about the story of John the Baptist, and a lot is written about the story and ministry of Jesus; because it is convenient for Him to increase.

Now, we can see that the one who would come after John the Baptist would be the one who would baptize them with Holy Spirit and Fire, the one who would produce the new birth in people, the one who would carry out the New Creation.

Those who stayed with John the Baptist never received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, never received the new birth; until later, years later, many of them recognized Jesus Christ as the Messiah, accepted Him, washed their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ and received the Holy Spirit.

Because no person can receive the Holy Spirit without believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior, and washing his sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ, and then receive the Holy Spirit and obtain the new birth; and thus be born in the Kingdom of God, enter the Kingdom of God. One can’t enter as people want to enter, but as God has established to enter the Kingdom of God.

Now, this is what Christ said to Nicodemus: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God,” in other words, he can’t understand it.

Nicodemus was interested in the Kingdom of God and said to Him: “How can this be done, can a man, being old, enter into his mother’s womb and be born again?” Jesus says to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of the Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God (or to the Kingdom of God).” (John, chapter 3, verse 1 to 6).

Every person who is interested in entering the Kingdom of God has to understand these words of Jesus Christ in order to be able to do what he or she has to do, and obtain the new birth, and thus enter the Kingdom of God.

As a person who wants to belong to such a family. Let’s say, you know about the kings of such and such a nation, and such a person says: “I want to belong to that family. I want to be the child of this king and queen.” Well, it’s simple: be born of them. Be born of that king and queen, and they will say: “This is my child.” It can’t be any other way.

And now, every person, to enter the Kingdom of God and be recognized as a son or daughter of God, well, has to be born again, he has to be born of God, he has to be born of Jesus Christ: By believing in Jesus Christ and washing his sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Spirit. And so God says: “This is a son of mine” or “a daughter of mine.” It can’t be otherwise. The children of God are born (of whom?) of God; for every person is a child of his father.

So we have to understand these things, in order to know where we stand in God’s Program and thus receive the blessings of God. We have to understand that these are not imaginary things, but they are real things for all human beings; and we have to face reality.

We can’t be ignorant people, ignoring God’s Program. We have to face God’s Program, and believe it with all our soul, in order to receive the blessings of God.

Now, we have seen what the First Coming of Christ was: It was the Coming of the Word, which was with God and was God, which is called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, who delivered the Hebrew people and said to Moses: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

He had appeared to Abraham on two main occasions. On one as Melchizedek, and gave him bread and wine (He appeared to him in visible form); and the Scripture says that this Melchizedek is King of Salem (that is, of Jerusalem), and is also High Priest of the Temple of God which is in Heaven, Priest of the Most High God.²⁹ He is the King of Peace.

And now, we also find that He appeared to him the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and He appeared to him in physical form, visible form; and along with Him, with Elohim, appeared the Archangels Gabriel and Michael.

Abraham invited them to eat a meal: a heifer or a calf, and bread and milk and cheese; and Elohim (the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) accepted Abraham’s invitation; and they ate. Abraham prepared him a tender calf, and they ate under a tree, there in the shade.

And then, in the evening, the Archangels Gabriel and Michael arose and went to Sodom; and Elohim and Abraham were also accompanying them, but the Archangels Gabriel and Michael went ahead. And Elohim stayed with Abraham a little while longer, a little bit longer, and He said to Abraham: “Shall I hide from Abraham what I will do?”³⁰

Why does God ask that question? Because in Amos, chapter 3, verse 7, it says: “For the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secrets to His servants His prophets.” Therefore, God couldn’t hide from Abraham what He was going to do, being that Abraham was a prophet; and of the great prophets: A dispensational prophet.

And when God is going to do greater things on this planet Earth, He has to have a dispensational prophet, and to that prophet He reveals what He is going to do.

As it was in Noah’s time: God was going to destroy the human race, but He couldn’t destroy it without revealing what He was going to do to a greater prophet; and that prophet was Noah, and He made known to him how to escape from that judgment that would come.

And now, we can see that also for Abraham’s time: God was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah; but in Sodom and Gomorrah, there in Sodom, there was Abraham’s nephew: Lot and his family; and Abraham made intercession for Lot and his family; and God heard him.

And because there were not even ten righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah, God had to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah; because in Noah’s time there were only eight righteous people; and when we say “righteous,” it is because they offered to God the sacrifice of the little animals for the sin, and their sins were covered with the blood of those sacrifices of those little animals.

And there were only eight people there at that time: Noah and his family; eight people, counting the messenger of that dispensation; in other words, Noah’s congregation, that dispensational prophet, was of seven people, and counting him there were eight people. And God destroyed the antediluvian world having eight people who were under the blood of those sacrifices. The Scripture says that God found Noah righteous, and therefore He revealed Himself to him, and obtained mercy, he found grace before God.³¹

Now, if with eight righteous people, covered with the blood of the atonement, covered with the blood of those sacrifices (God didn’t see their sin), and yet He destroyed the antediluvian race, which was uncovered… their sins were uncovered, because they hadn’t believed [God] and His prophet, and they didn’t have the sacrifice as Noah did; and God destroyed that antediluvian generation.

Now, for Sodom and Gomorrah to be delivered from destruction, they had to have no less than ten righteous people before God; but there were not ten persons: There was only Lot, his wife and his two daughters; who were under the sacrifices for sin, because Lot had learned it (from whom?) from Abraham. Lot was a disciple of a dispensational prophet.

And Lot and his family represent the foolish virgins, who in the end will awaken, although it will be too late. They will awaken in the manifestation of the Third Pull, when they are seeing that Third Pull carrying out the great signs and wonders; and the Hebrew people there will also awaken. For the Third Pull will be for the wise virgins, for the foolish virgins and for the lost, who no longer have a chance of salvation³²; and it will also be for the Hebrew people.</sup>

Under that Third Pull, the Hebrew people will say: “This is what we are waiting for.”³³ And there the Gospel will pass from the gentiles to the Hebrews, through the manifestation of the Holy Spirit operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; there the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, of the Two Anointed Ones who stand before the presence of God, will be manifested.

Now, we can see what will be in this end time, and everything will be so simple; and mainly in that intertwining that pertains to this Last Day, where the Dispensation of Grace is intertwined with the Dispensation of the Kingdom. And the ministry of Jesus Christ as Lion of the tribe of Judah is intertwined with the ministry of the Lamb, there is an intertwining there.

And notice, Christ has been manifested from age to age —through the messengers of each age— as Lamb and as High Priest. And in the Last Day, through His manifestation in His Angel Messenger, where He begins that manifestation as High Priest and as Lamb…, but then He will change from Lamb to Lion, and from High Priest (to what?) to Judge of all the Earth, and Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.

See how in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, the intertwine is made; and in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, Christ makes that intertwine from Lamb to Lion (and as Lion, He is King of kings and Lord of lords), and from High Priest to Judge of all the Earth. That is the intertwining that Christ makes in and through His Angel Messenger in the Last Day.

And all that will be in such a simple way that the wise and prudent will overlook it; but to the members of the Mystical Body of Christ, written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, this mystery would be revealed; and they would be seeing the Word (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit) coming veiled in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, and revealed through His Angel Messenger, in the Last Day; but that manifestation would be so simple that only the elect (also called “the wise” in the book of the prophet Daniel)³⁴ would understand.

And now, how does this Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven in the Last Day come, how does He come? Let’s see it in the book of The Seals, page 57. It says:³⁵

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

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

He comes for the Hebrew people, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; but the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has come to its end, to the end time.

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

The Angel of the Covenant, who came two thousand years ago in the midst of the Hebrew people, and the Hebrew people rejected Him; but then the gentiles received Him, after He died and resurrected and ascended to Heaven. He has been received by all who have had their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world, by believing in Him.

And now, this Angel, who is Christ Himself in Holy Spirit, is the Angel of the Covenant, the Messenger to Israel:

“And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”

The Messenger to Israel comes for His Church; because the Messenger to Israel is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit; and He has to take a veil of flesh to manifest Himself through that veil of flesh; and that veil of flesh is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through him, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit), will be manifested in human flesh. And those who will be seeing the Word incarnate in the Last Day in the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, will be seeing Jesus Christ manifested in His Angel Messenger.

Now, the Angel of Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone. That is why when John the apostle wanted to worship him, he told him not to do it: To worship God.

In Revelation, chapter 19, verses 6 to 10, and also Revelation 22, verse 8 to 9, we find that John wanted to worship him on two occasions, and the Angel told him not to do it.

John wanted to worship him, because he saw the manifestation of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and he heard these things in symbolic form, which Jesus Christ said He would reveal to those who went up to where He was³⁶; he saw all these things being revealed by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.</sup>

“…and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.” Through whom are they revealed? Through His Angel Messenger. Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6.

And Revelation 22, verse 16, says: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Through whom are all these things that must happen soon made known? Through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger.

It is His Angel Messenger who will be seen in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ; but in him will be Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested, speaking to us all these things pertaining to this end time. That Angel will be anointed with the Holy Spirit to have the ministry of the Last Day, for the Hebrew people and also for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, we have seen that all this is promised to be carried out in a simple way.

And just as through one of the disciples of John the Baptist, through one of the disciples of the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled: Watch the disciples of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, because through one of them will be fulfilled the Coming of the Mighty Angel, the Angel of the Covenant, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit veiled in human flesh in one of the disciples of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

And in him will be fulfilled the coming of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom Jesus Christ will be veiled and revealed in human flesh at the Last Day, fulfilling His promises for the Last Day.

Now, it was something strange that in one of the followers, of the believers of the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled; but it was so.

So it was, and John testified that it would be through one who would be on Earth and whom he would present, for he said: “After me comes one of whom I am not worthy to unloose the latchet of His shoes. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and Fire.” And when he saw Him, he said: “This is He. This is the one of whom I said would come after me. This is the man, the man of whom I spoke.”

And now, notice that after the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ came another man, another prophet, in whom the Coming of the Messiah for the Hebrew people was fulfilled. And after the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, it is promised that another man will come.

And let’s see if the forerunner says that another man will come, in whom the Holy Spirit will come, Christ in Holy Spirit veiled and revealed. On page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, referring to the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of Christ, of the Angel of the Covenant, he says:³⁷

“^[196] But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”

The Word of God incarnate (in what?) in a man; and that is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19; because the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 is the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, coming on the Last Day in human flesh, in a man of this end time.

But that man is not the Lord Jesus Christ; but in that man will be the Lord Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in the Last Day, in the fulfillment of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, and the Coming in human flesh of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven; who descends from Heaven and veils Himself in human flesh and reveals Himself through human flesh, and becomes the Messenger to Israel.

To manifest Himself as the Messenger to Israel, the Angel of the Covenant has to become flesh in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, and from there He reveals Himself both to His Church and to the Hebrew people; but remember that He always needs a veil of flesh.

But that veil of flesh is not the Lord Jesus Christ: That veil of flesh is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, a redeemed one by the Blood of Jesus Christ, who first has to have been a disciple of the forerunner; because he has to maintain that line, that sequence of the Divine Program.

Now, we can see that everything would be so simple that only the elect, the predestined of God, would see it and understand it.

Now, you see, on page 146 of the book of The Seals also, since this is for the end time, for the Last Day, for the seventh millennium…; where the Coming of the Word, of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh will be a reality for the Church of Jesus Christ; on the other hand, the antichrist, the beast will also be on Earth, which will be the devil incarnated in another man.

And now, look, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says:³⁸

“⁴⁰² And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.” 

And then we will have here on Earth the incarnation (that is, the manifestation in human flesh), on the one hand, of the devil in a man of this end time; and on the other hand we will have the incarnation of God, of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus Christ, in a man of this end time. And there we will have the two great mysteries: The mystery of godliness, on the one hand; and the mystery of iniquity, of the devil, on the other hand; both made flesh (each in a man of this end time).

And there it will be where what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 270 of the book of The Seals will be fulfilled; he says:³⁹

“³²¹ Here we see Life and death coming to the final struggle. The white horse, of true Life (that is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19)<em>; the pale-horse, of mixed creed. They see the thing coming to the—to the real showdown.”

The horse – The rider of the pale horse is the antichrist, the beast, who appears in Revelation, chapter 6, verses 7 to 8, whose name is Death, and hell follows him. In other words, the devil incarnate…, his name is Death, and hell follows him.

But the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, His Name is Life, the Word of God; and “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In Him was Life.”

It is the Life, the Word, that comes at the Last Day on the white horse of Revelation 19; and that is the Word incarnate in a man, that is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger; that is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel that descends from Heaven clothed in a cloud; and comes and becomes flesh in the Last Day in the last prophet messenger that Jesus Christ sends to His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, to fulfill His Coming to His Church in human flesh in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

And the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man would be seen in heaven giving testimony of what God would be doing here on Earth; just as the sign of the First Coming of the Son of Man, the sign of the Coming of Christ two thousand years ago, appeared in heaven, and it was the Star of Bethlehem, which the wise men saw and recognized that the Messiah was already on Earth. The anointed man, the Christ, the Messiah, was already on Earth being born in Bethlehem of Judea.

And now, the sign of the Son of Man would be seen in heaven, according to Revelation, chapter 1, verse 7, where it says that they will see the Son of Man coming in or with the clouds of heaven. And of that Christ had also spoken in Matthew, chapter 24 and verse 30 to 31, when He said:

“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.”

In Matthew it says that He will come “in the clouds” and Luke says that He will come “in a cloud.”⁴⁰ Both are correct; because when we are told “in a cloud,” it is a cloud formed by angels of God, which are the angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church, along with the Mighty Angel, who was different from the rest; and when we are told that He will come “in the clouds,” for each angel messenger is a cloud, because their theophanic bodies are seen in the form of a cloud here in heaven, on February 28, 1963, when the angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church appeared together with an Angel that was different from the rest.

And now, here, when we turn this picture to the right, we can see the beard of the Lord formed by the seven angel messengers of the seven ages, and we can see the white wig or white hair formed by the Angel that was different from the rest: The Angel that has the Seventh Seal (it is this Angel that is here), in other words, the Angel that has the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ. That is the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven. That is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, being seen here, in heaven, with His seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church.

And here we find Him clothed in this cloud, coming in a cloud, formed by angels; for it’s not a cloud of vapor, but it’s a cloud of glory. It’s a cloud of glory formed by the seven angel messengers of the seven ages and by the Angel who was different from the rest, which is the Angel of the Covenant, who in the midst of the Hebrew people was also manifested in a cloud: The cloud of fire during the night, and cloud that covered the Hebrew people and made a shadow over them so that the Hebrew people wouldn’t be weary during the day.⁴¹

This Angel was the one who became flesh two thousand years ago in the veil of flesh called Jesus, and manifested Himself as the Lamb of God carrying out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross.

And for the Last Day this Angel of the Covenant returns, the Angel of the Lord: The Word returns to Earth becoming flesh in the end time in another veil of flesh, called the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

But that Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ; it’s another man who will be living in this end time, and will be the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

Remember that Jesus in His First Coming was the prophet of the Dispensation of Grace and was the veil of flesh where the Angel of the Covenant was manifested. And for the Last Day: In the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will come the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, made flesh, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, and manifesting His Program relevant to this end time.

And after we hear Him with that Great Voice of Trumpet (which is also the Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven crying as when a lion roars, and seven thunders uttering their voices),⁴² when we have heard Him in all that He has to say to us in this end time, we will have fully heard the Voice of the Seven Thunders revealing to us all the mystery of the Seventh Seal, and thus being prepared to be transformed and raptured in this end time.

And we will have also heard the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the same Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, the Voice of Christ represented in the final trumpet or great voice of trumpet or in the seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10. And we will hear that Voice through human flesh through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.

But remember: That Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ. He is only one redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is only one of the disciples of the forerunner, who then begins the Angel of the Covenant, Christ, to work through him, in the fulfillment of what has been promised that would come after the forerunner; and through that simple manifestation, God will fulfill what He has promised.

And after we have heard all the Message of Christ, that Message of Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet or Seven Thunders of Revelation, chapter 10; after we have heard all His Message, and all the elect have been called and gathered…; because after the sign of the Son of Man in heaven is that He sends His Angels with Great Voice of Trumpet.

And the sign of the Son of Man in heaven was shown on February 28, 1963. And from then on the ministry of the Angels of the Son of Man would be sent, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, to call with the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom all of God’s elect; and to place them in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and prepare them to be transformed and raptured; making known to us the whole mystery of God, the whole mystery of the Seventh Seal: The mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant with His Angels, veiled and revealed in His Angel Messenger.

That is where the mystery of the Seventh Seal is: In His manifestation in human flesh through His Angel Messenger.

In the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 —which is the Coming of the Word, the Word made flesh in a man—, there is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which would be revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ in this Last Day, in which we are living.

And just as the mystery of how we would obtain the new birth and receive a theophanic body of the sixth dimension was under the secret of the First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh in Jesus of Nazareth; the mystery of how we will receive the eternal and glorified physical body is under the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, in human flesh, in the Last Day.

There is the mystery of the Seventh Seal being revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Coming of the Lord with the clouds.

We have Him here, coming with the clouds, the Angel of the Covenant, to descend from Heaven to Earth and become flesh: To veil Himself in human flesh in simple form in His Angel Messenger, and through His Angel Messenger to reveal Himself to His Church and make known to her all these things that must happen soon, in this end time; and thus give us the faith to be transformed and raptured, and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.

But always remember that His Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only the instrument of the Lord Jesus Christ in the manifestation of Jesus Christ for this end time, coming to His Church in this Last Day, where the Dispensation of the Kingdom is intertwined with the Dispensation of Grace.

After we have the new body, then we will see our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified body, because we too will have a glorified body. And so we will always be with Him: Him with His glorified body and us with our glorified body, too. And so we will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

And then we will return to Earth for the glorious Millennial Kingdom, where Christ comes with His thousands of angels, with His mighty Army, which is His Church, with eternal bodies also, to establish the glorious Millennial Kingdom here on Earth; and we will reign with Christ for a thousand years and then for all eternity.

We have seen the mystery of: “THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS.” They are clouds of glory, clouds formed by the angel messengers of the seven ages and also by Christ Himself in His theophanic body; they are clouds of glory formed by the theophanic bodies of the Angel of the Covenant and of the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church.

We have seen the mystery of: “THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS.” And from then on all nations would be mourning; and that is what we see through the news: mourning in all nations.

But also the promise is that the Son of Man would send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet, and they would call and gather all His elect; and that is also happening: all of God’s elect of the Last Day, pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, are being called and gathered.

That is why the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is gathering all of God’s elect (where?) in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and thus giving us the revelation of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Coming of Jesus Christ, of the Coming of the Lord for this end time; and thus giving us that revelation, that rapturing faith, to be prepared and to be transformed in this end time, in which we are living.

“THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS.”

That has been our subject on this occasion, and we have seen how simple the fulfillment of this promise would be. February 28, 1963, we saw in heaven the Angel of the Covenant with His theophanic body, which is Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, and we also saw the seven angel messengers of the seven ages with their theophanic bodies also. We have seen that sign of the Son of Man in heaven.

And the Angel of the Covenant, which is the Angel that was different from the rest, which is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal, just as the seven angel messengers in order to have their ministries on Earth had to have a veil of flesh: For this end time, the Angel of the Covenant (which is Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit), to have His ministry of the Last Day He has to have a body of flesh, and it has to be a body of flesh of this end time; he has to be one redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, for in him Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit comes manifested, the Angel of the Covenant comes manifested in human flesh in the midst of His Church, in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Mighty Angel that was different from the rest; to come as the Lion of the tribe of Judah crying as when a lion roars, and the Seven Thunders uttering their voices, and us hearing the Voice of the Angel that was different from the rest: The Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven through human flesh, speaking to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time, and revealing to us the mystery of His Coming in the midst of His Church in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.

It has been a privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, giving you testimony of “THE COMING OF THE LORD IN THE CLOUDS.”

Did you see all that is involved in the Coming of the Lord in the clouds, all the mystery that is involved there? But did you see how simple everything would be? It would be so simple that it can only be described as God veiling and revealing Himself in simplicity, God veiled and revealed in simplicity. That was what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said would be the mystery of the Seventh Seal being fulfilled.⁴³

May the blessings of the Seventh Seal, of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me also in this end time in which we live; and may soon the number of God’s elect be completed; and may soon the dead in Christ resurrect in eternal bodies, and we who are alive be transformed; and may we all be taken to the House of our heavenly Father, to Heaven, to the Great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

And now, I leave with you the Reverend Tirzo Ramiro Giron (if he is around here and has a hymn), to finish our part; and then we will pass the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, to completely finish our part on this occasion.

Now, on this occasion in which we have seen this mystery of “THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS,” which is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, which we have seen in this picture of February 28, 1963, now we will have a hymn to glorify God, who is the Angel of the Covenant, the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and thank Him also for His blessings that He is giving us in this end time.

There is something that I didn’t tell you, that I didn’t tell you in relation to the Coming of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, and it’s that in His First Coming He came with a name that meant ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’ The name was where? In the veil of flesh where the manifested Angel of the Covenant came.

For the Last Day, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 comes with a name that no one understands: With a new name; and Jesus said that He has a new name: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the Name of my God, and the Name of the City of my God, which is the New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of Heaven from my God, and my New Name” (Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12).

There are people on this Earth who don’t know that Jesus says that He has a new name; that is the name that He will use in His Second Coming. And there we are going to leave it alone; because He says that He will write upon the Overcomer that name. And that Overcomer will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; he will be the instrument that He will have in this Last Day to manifest Himself through him, and He will manifest through him His New Name as well.

Through different conferences that are already dictated, and they are also printed, and they are also in videos, those who haven’t yet heard about this mystery of the New Name of Jesus Christ, will be able to obtain all that knowledge by reading or listening in videos the conferences related to the New Name of Jesus Christ to be manifested at His Coming. You will be able to obtain literature completely free, where you will obtain more knowledge of these mysteries of the Kingdom of God; and thus know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

He is the same Angel of the Covenant of the Old Testament, called the Angel of the Lord. That is why He said: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He said: “Abraham desired to see my day; he saw it and was glad.”⁴⁴ For He is the same of the Old Testament, called the Angel of the Lord, who became flesh in the veil of flesh called Jesus; and for this Last Day He would come again in human flesh in His Angel Messenger. I can’t speak more clearly.

All the prophets of the Old Testament, and the righteous, and the kings, and all the seven angel messengers, desired to hear this that you heard this afternoon; but to them it was not granted. But to us it has been granted! To us it has been granted to know this mystery of the Kingdom of God: The mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS, to become flesh in this Last Day, and to veil Himself and reveal Himself through human flesh through His Angel Messenger, and to make known to us all these things that must happen soon.

But remember, His Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only one redeemed by the Blood of Christ, who is the instrument of Jesus Christ for this end time, for that great manifestation of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, is the same forever, but uses different veils of flesh.

He is the same yesterday, today and forever, except in His physical body; because He goes veiled in human flesh, from one veil of flesh to another veil of flesh, from a prophet of one age to another prophet of another age, and from a prophet of one dispensation to another prophet of another dispensation. Always veiled in human flesh in the instrument that is living at that time; for God is always up to date, He is always current. His manifestation is always up to date. He doesn’t get delayed.

Jesus Christ is the same always. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and always. Jesus Christ is the same.

[Hymn: “Eternal Love”]

May God continue to bless you all; and I leave again with us our beloved friend and brother, Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin.

And be prepared for the new body that we are to receive.

May God bless you and keep you all.

“THE COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CLOUDS.”
