The Order of the Manifestation of God’s Glory

Good afternoon, ministers, partners in the ministry, in the Age of the Cornerstone. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of fellowship with you around God’s Program.

This is just to greet you in the Lord Jesus Christ, and later in the evening service we will then have tonight’s subject; but at this time it’s just a fellowship greeting around God’s Program pertaining to our time, where God has great blessings for each one of us.

And as time goes by, we will notice that we will have more and more knowledge of God’s Program.

This year we have gained a lot of knowledge of God’s Program, and we have a bigger picture of God’s entire Program.

Each day we find that God gives us more Light on one same Scripture, and likewise on many other Scriptures, He adds more and more Light; and we start seeing more clearly each of those prophetic Scriptures pertaining to our time. And the time will come when we will have the total understanding of every Scripture; but, in the meantime, we notice that it increases and increases.

How does Hosea say (Miguel) that God multiplied the visions? By giving more and more Word, more prophecy, that is how visions or prophecy multiplies;¹ by speaking the prophecy multiplies.

Just like the prophecy of Genesis 3:15, where God says there that the woman’s Seed will bruise the head of the serpent, in whom the devil was.

Now, notice, there in that prophecy is the whole Program of the First Coming of Christ already.

People may ask themselves: “But how can that be?”; because a woman has no seed. In order for a woman to have a child, she must be with a man.

But before Eve had intimate relations, God’s original Program was for reproduction to be by Divine Creation, but because of the sin in the garden of Eden, reproduction was then altered, and then it was established by sex temporarily; and that is why the body is temporary, and that is why our life in this human body is temporary.

But through Divine Creation, the body that is received, both the spiritual body and the physical body, is eternal. The theophanic body is the one we receive upon being born again, and the eternal physical body is the one He will give us when He raises the dead in Christ in glorified bodies and changes us.

Now, we can see that this is a mystery. But God’s Program for each time has always been (what?) a mystery, and that mystery has been enclosed in the prophecies that have been given; and when God fulfills It, that mystery is opened.

And if He wants to give more knowledge about that mystery He continues to speak through different messengers, different prophets, about that mystery; and it still remains sealed, but with more Word, with more details on that Divine mystery.

And when the time comes for the fulfillment of that mystery, then God moves on the scene to fulfill it; and then we also have a man on the scene, and that man is the one to whom God reveals that mystery. And many of the mysteries are also even fulfilled through that same man whom God sends to reveal this mystery to them.

For example, the mystery of justification, whom did He reveal it to? To Luther; and through Luther He worked that stage of justification in the mystical Body of Christ, in the fifth age. See?

And so on and so forth we find the way – that way in which God works.

And it happens like our Brother Branham said in one of his messages,² where there was a lady who had a little boy and that little boy was not used to seeing mirrors because he was out in the country, he lived in the countryside; but they went to the city and when they arrived in the city, to the house where they went to live, he found that there was a mirror there at the entrance of the door. And when he sees a little boy over there, since he didn’t know what a mirror was, he says “Another little boy;” he moves his hand, and the little boy over there moves his hand; he moves his head, and the little boy moves his head; he moves his foot, the little boy moves his foot; he moves both hands, and the little boy moves both hands. And he says to his mother: “Mama! Well, that’s me!” See?

And this is what happens to these messengers of God, through whom God fulfills His promise for each age.

They start to see in the Scripture, in the Mirror (which is the Word), a person who is going to do such-and-such a thing, and who is going to do such-and-such a thing. They are looking in the Mirror; and when they see everything that person is going to do, then they say: “Well, that is what I’m doing! That is what I’ve been doing all along!” And God reveals Himself to him.

And then in the Mirror they saw – they saw themselves; they saw themselves as that person who is in the Mirror; because the reality of that person’s life was reflected there in the Scripture, he was reflected in the Scripture, in the prophecies; and then: “Well, it’s me!” See?

For example, the… every messenger of every age had that experience, whether he noticed it that well or not.

And that happened to John the Baptist too. Notice, he saw that the Scripture said: “one crying in the wilderness.”³ And when he finds himself preaching in the wilderness: “Well, I’m preaching in the wilderness.”

They ask him⁴:

—“Who are you? Are you the Christ?”

—“No”.

—“Are you Elijah?”

—“No.”

In other words, the Elijah who would come as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

—“So who are you? Why do you baptize then?”

—“I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, here I am crying in the wilderness. I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness.”

And that’s the same thing the Scripture said: “The voice of him that cries in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord;” and then the glory of God, the glory of the Lord would be revealed and all flesh would see it, would see the glory of God revealed.

And how would the glory of God be revealed or manifested? In a man, in human flesh.

And when Jesus preached and carried out the miracles and wonders, God’s glory was manifested there in Jesus, in that Messianic ministry; and God’s glory was seen through a man there.

And now, they didn’t have to see God’s glory that way in the Pillar of Fire, but rather, God’s glory manifested in a man carrying out the Work of God; because that Glory of God which had been seen was now inside a man, the Pillar of Fire was veiled there.

But on Mount Transfiguration they saw Him covered in glory there, and Moses and Elijah in glory too.

It says… I believe it’s Saint Mark, let’s see… If it’s Saint Mark it’s around chapter 9… It is not Saint Mark, then let’s turn to Saint Luke, also chapter 9. Saint Luke chapter 9, verses 26 and on says:

“For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.”

In the glory of the Father, in the glory of the holy Angels, and in His glory. See, it says:

“For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.”

And now, let’s see:

“But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

Who appeared in glory…”

See? They “appeared in glory,” in other words, they appeared shining with a bright light around them; just like Jesus appeared that way: with His face shining as the sun, and His raiment shining as the light.⁵

If you combine what Saint Matthew says, what Saint Mark says,⁶ and what Saint Luke says, you will have the full picture.

In other words, we cannot just hold on to what is in one of the Gospels, but instead take from everything there is in the other Gospels that speak about that same event; and then take what Saint Peter says in Second Peter, chapter 1, verses 16 and on. He says:

“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.”

Now notice what that experience meant to Peter.

And everything that happened there is like on Mount Sinai.

And that experience there speaks to us about what the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels will be like; because there He is showing in a vision the Coming of the Son of man with Moses and Elijah, the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels, as it is prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.

And it’s for the manifestation of the Glory of Jesus Christ in His Church. In the midst of His Church, Jesus Christ will be manifested, and the Glory of Jesus Christ will be seen manifested.

Now, how was the glory of the Father seen manifested when He said: “Behold the voice of him that cries in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord”? Isaiah chapter 40, verse 3 and on:

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

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

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

John the Baptist, which was the voice of him crying in the wilderness, was preparing the way for whom? The man in whom the Glory of the Lord would come manifested.

That is why in Malachi chapter 3, we find John the Baptist in prophecy:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”

And now, the Glory of the Lord would come and would be manifested after the forerunner messenger would have his ministry, would introduce the Messiah, and the Messiah would start His ministry.

The Glory of God, which was seen by Moses, now was in a Man called Jesus.

In order for the glory of God to be manifested and to be seen by all human beings He must do it through a man on this Earth.

Notice, it goes on to say in Isaiah, chapter 40, the continuation of what we had read from Isaiah, says, verse 6:

“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”

This prophecy, part of it is fulfilled in the First Coming and part of it in the Second Coming; because when John the Baptist introduced Jesus, this was being fulfilled, which says:

“… lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!”

Because where was he baptizing (Miguel), in the territory of Judah, when he baptized Jesus? Around the Jordan, almost facing Jericho, around that area there.⁷

So, when John introduces Jesus, notice what he is fulfilling:

“… say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!”

Why? The Word that was with God and was God was made flesh, He was made flesh in that veil of flesh called Jesus; the Glory of God was there.

The Glory that the Heavens could not contain,⁸ was now contained in a man, in a temple not made with hands.

“Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”

To give, to reward every man according as his work shall be; we find that in Revelation chapter 22, verse 12, where it says:

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

At this end time is when He will reward; because in order to reward, first people must have had the opportunity to do something, in order to reward people.

In the passage of Saint Luke and Saint Mark and Saint Matthew, which precedes the experience of Mount Transfiguration, Christ says… Let’s read Saint Matthew 16, verses 25 and on; it says:

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

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.”

When does Christ promise and prophesy that the Son of man will come with His Angels to reward every man according to his works? At the end time.

And now, this prophecy of Isaiah, this part here where it says:

“Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him,” (He shall govern, He shall rule with a rod of iron), “behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”

“Before Him,” and that is why on Mount Transfiguration His face shone as the sun. Why? Because the sun represents Christ in His Second Coming; “because unto those that fear My Name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His Wings.” Malachi chapter 4, verse 2.

And that whole 4th chapter of Malachi is a chapter where we find human beings receiving the reward that pertains to them, according to how they have acted.

As for the wicked ones, regarding them it says:

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

And for those who fear the Name of the Lord:

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise,” (the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels), “with healing in his wings…” (health).

His Wings are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which are the Angels of the Son of man, whom the Son of man comes with, to reward every man according to his works.

That is why the ministry of Moses and Elijah in Revelation 11, will bring the fulfillment of the things that are appointed there; and they will prophesy; because in chapter 10, the one who eats the little Book represents the same one who will have both ministries, and then he will prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues.

And when he is adopted, he will already be at a stage where the Glory of Jesus Christ will be seen manifested in the fulfillment of the Third Pull, where the ministry seen in the Tent Vision by Rev. William Branham will be in total literal fulfillment; that is already a stage of adoption, where that messenger who will minister there will be adopted.

That is what our Brother Branham speaks about on page 9 of the Book of Quotations, verse or paragraph 72 [54-1231 – “Everlasting Life And How To Receive It,” page 13, paragraph 111]:

72 – “111 But when you stay in the Kingdom, stay in the Gospel, stay right, one of these days God will call you out and set you aside, adopt you as His son, before the people, and give you something that will shake the nations, with it.”

See? And that will be the fulfillment of what our Brother Branham says there in the message “Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness,” or the message “Just One More Time, Lord…” or I don’t know if that’s the same one where it talks about, “Just One More Time, Lord,” it speaks about Sampson, where he says – he speaks about the occasion when he wanted to go to Israel (he was already in Egypt), and God told him not to go because it was not the time yet; it had to be according to Revelation chapter 11.⁹

And then, when he prays, at the end of the message, he says: “Lord, shake this world once more! Just once more, before taking Your Bride, Your Church; shake it and leave the world in chaos.”¹⁰ he says something like that.

And how is He going to shake it? Through the ministry pertaining to that time; a ministry that our Brother Branham always thought was his, to fulfill that stage and to call the Hebrew people; but God told Him it was not the time yet, it was for another stage of the Divine Program, and He told him that it had to be according to Revelation 11.

And he was Malachi chapter 4: the one who would come restoring the heart of the sons to the apostolic faith, the faith of the fathers, the apostles, with the fourth ministry of Elijah; but he didn’t have the fifth ministry of Elijah, that is why God did not let him go to Israel.

Notice, not even Brother Branham was able to go, despite having the ministry of Elijah, but it was not in the stage relevant to that work with the Hebrew people.

He always thought he was the man, from what he saw that man doing in the Scripture; but he was not to do that with the Hebrew people; therefore, he was not the man of Revelation chapter 11, to turn the Hebrew people to Christ.

Now, we can see that it could not be a prophet of an age, but rather, a dispensational prophet.

Now we can see that this is what He will do at this end time.

There is another place where he says something about this great event that is about to happen, when the adoption takes place. And he says that God will anoint a Church, but you know what he says? “When the doors of the Gentiles or the door of the Gentiles are closed.”¹¹

That is why, when they asked Brother Branham about the miracles and wonders, he says: “That’s when Moses and Elijah;”¹² and He spoke of miracles and wonders that would be performed, where? In the Tent Vision.

When people want to see, and they say: “I am going to believe when I see those miracles and wonders that Brother Branham said were being manifested in the Tent,” they will be seeing the ministry of Moses and Elijah manifested in a man who is already adopted.

And the Door of Mercy will already be closed; therefore, at that point, even if they try to believe in order to be changed, it will already be too late for them.

Now notice, in order for a revival to come, it says: [Quotations, page 26] [58-1005E – “God-Called Man,” page 5, paragraphs 32-33]:

218 – “32 And so we, tonight, want to think on that. And remember, that, in the midst of all this cry, God cannot send a revival till He’s got men in shape to take it (…)” (meaning, the messenger).

33 And before we can have this revival, God has to call out and train men, God-trained men, to carry this Message.”

And from age to age, a revival from God has taken place; because God has had a man for each age, whom He has trained and sent with a Message.

And now, the revival for the Church, to give Her the rapturing faith, that revival is brought by the Seven Thunders of Revelation.

And what do the Seven Thunders contain? What do the Seventh Thunders reveal? They reveal the Seventh Seal. And all revelation must come to whom? To a prophet.

People who are waiting for the revelation of the Seventh Seal and who are waiting to hear and to know the Seven Thunders, the first thing they must know is that all revelation comes through a prophet.

This cannot be obtained on their own or through religious leaders who know a lot about the Scriptures or about the Message of Rev. William Branham; but instead through the man appointed by God to be the Messenger of the Last Day and of the last millennium and of the last dispensation (the seventh dispensation), to whom the revelation of the Last Day will come.

And he will be bringing that revelation of the Last Day; and through that revelation of the Last Day, Christ will be speaking to His Church; and therefore, the Seven Thunders, the Voice of Christ will be heard consecutively. And thus, the mystery that is contained in the Seventh Seal will be opened, which is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord.

And since the Seven Seals give the faith for the rapture, because they give the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ, notice, without that revelation no one can be changed and raptured.

Therefore, whoever wants to obtain that revelation can’t say: “I am going to go with all the books of Brother Branham, and with the Bible, with Bible dictionaries, with commentary books of theologians, and I myself am going to seek God, pray to God, so that God reveals this mystery to me.”

If a person did that and God revealed that mystery to that person without him being the messenger for that time, God would break His Program, and He would be ignoring the messenger He has predestinated before the foundation of the world for that purpose.

Look, when Aaron and Miriam tried to say that God had also spoken through them…¹³ but in a dispensation God speaks through a dispensational prophet, and in an age through a messenger of an age.

What they did was repeat what Moses said; because that was what God told him to say to Aaron: to put – that God would put His Word in the mouth of Moses, and Moses would put that Word in the mouth of Aaron.¹⁴

And now, that was the way; but they thought that since they already knew a little bit, God was already speaking through them; but the one through whom He was speaking was through the Prophet Moses.

God became angry with them, and Miriam ended up with leprosy; and also because of their criticism; but more so because they spoke against Moses and said that God had also spoken by them; therefore, they put themselves on the same level as Moses.

And no one can put himself on the level of a dispensational prophet, not even of a messenger of an age; and much less a dispensational prophet, if God only has seven.

And perhaps, a dispensational prophet perhaps doesn’t have to take all the books, nor all the dictionaries, nor all the commentaries of the different theologians, to get the revelation; rather, he goes to God and God gives him the revelation progressively, as God desires.

The messenger, the prophet, also can’t get all the revelation or everything from God at the same time; God gives it gradually.

Notice what will happen at that time… page 38 [Quotations] [60-0712 – “Hear Ye Him,” page 21, paragraph 61]:

315 – “[61] The whole creation’s groaning, waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God, waiting to a spot to where that the sickness will be a ‘Arise!’ and it will be that way. The blind will receive their sight. Deaf and dumb,” (the deaf and dumb will receive their health), “we pray for them now, but then you’ll command it.”

Now, how many people saw Jesus, throughout the Scripture, praying for a sick person? In the Scripture I have never seen that Jesus prayed for the sick, instead, He spoke the Word: “According to your faith be it unto you,” “be made whole!,” “arise!;” it was by ordering.

315 – “[61] … but then you’ll command it.”

And the example was given by God, He gave us a sample through Rev. William Branham when God told him on certain occasions:

—“Speak! Say what you will, it’ll be that way. Speak how many squirrels you want, just speak it, and where you want them too.”

—“Let one appear over there, let another appear over here.”

See? He wasn’t praying: “Lord, send a squirrel there; Lord, send…” he was ordering, speaking.

It was also the same way with the little fish, with the storm, with the tumor in the ovary of our Sister Branham, it was also the same way with the sons of Sister Hattie Wright,¹⁵ and so on; showing what that Third Pull will be in a messenger who will be adopted.

Just like He has reflected in other ages and dispensations: in the prophets and messengers of ages He has reflected the dispensational messenger that He will send later on.

And now, that is also how God made the prophets reflect Christ; but when Christ came, all the prophets were there; and all those reflections that were manifested in the prophets: they were manifested and they were – they were manifested in Christ, they became a reality in Christ.

Look, Elijah fed the widow by the Word,¹⁶ and Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes.¹⁷ Moses parted the Red Sea,¹⁸ and Jesus stopped the storm.¹⁹

Likewise, you will find countless things that happened in Jesus, and that Jesus did, which we will find reflected in the prophets that came before Jesus.

Elijah raised… – Elisha raised the son of the Shunammite woman,²⁰ and Jesus raised the son of the widow of Nain.²¹ That is why when Jesus raised that young man, the people said: “God has sent a mighty prophet among His people; and: God has visited His people because He has sent a mighty prophet.”

And now, notice how the things that God did through the prophets, we then find them in Jesus, and even on a greater scale.

He raised Lazarus.²² And notice, after Lazarus was dead for about four days, Christ resurrected him; showing that, it doesn’t matter how many years it has been since the believers in Him have died, Christ will raise them up in eternal bodies.

Well, it was only a short greeting; but I brought my Bible, I have my Bible with me; and whenever we open It, we find things here, of which we have to testify.

So, it was only a short greeting. At night we will be gathered for more time and with all the brethren, for the subject: “THE PRECIOUS WAY THAT LEADS TO HEAVEN.”

We trust that God will speak to us and bless us, bless our souls with everything He speaks to us tonight. Pray for me. And may God bless you and keep you; and we will see each other tonight, God willing, in the next service.

I leave Miguel with us again to continue.

God bless you and keep you all.

“THE ORDER OF THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S GLORY.”
