Good afternoon, fellow ministers in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior. It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of the Lord and His Program pertaining to this end time.
Let’s read in Saint Matthew chapter 24, verse 31 and on… 30 and on… Let’s start instead in chapter 24, verse 29 and on, where He says, Jesus Christ says:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
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.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN WITH HIS ANGELS.”
Regarding the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, Christ Himself says in Saint Matthew 24, verse 27:
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It comes out of the East, out of the Middle East, out of the land of Israel; and It shines in the West, in the continent of the Americas, which North America and Latin America and the Caribbean belong to.
Latin America and the Caribbean is the territory, the continent, that has the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man shining in the West, that is, in the Western part of the planet Earth; and He comes with His Angels; as He showed it in Saint Matthew 17, verse 1 to 13, on Mount Transfiguration, where He was transfigured before them, before His disciples Peter, James, and John, and His face shone as the sun, and His raiment was white as the shining light; and on each side of the Lord: Moses and Elijah appeared speaking with the Lord Jesus Christ about Christ’s departure to Jerusalem.
Notice what Moses and Elijah were talking about with Jesus Christ. That is very important because the Second Coming of Christ is related to Israel, to Jerusalem.
Therefore, what was shown there, on Mount Transfiguration, is the Order of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah.
Therefore, in the time of the Second Coming of Christ, the ministries of Moses and Elijah will be manifested; and notice, Christ will be present, and Moses and Elijah will be on each side; those ministries will be on Earth again.
That is why the signs that are seen being done by the Holy Spirit through the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, are the same signs that we saw in Moses or the Angel of the Covenant in Moses, being done there in Egypt; and then the signs that we saw the Holy Spirit do through the prophet Elijah, who asked for fire to come down from heaven, and it came down. It was the showdown between Judaism and the Babylonian religion, that is, paganism.1 The showdown between Christianity and paganism will be for this end time.
That is why in Revelation chapter 19, we see Christ coming with His Church, with the saints who will resurrect, the ones who died, and He will change the living, the believers in Him.
The living Christ, it says in Revelation chapter 22, verse 12: “And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” He comes to bring rewards; in other words, He comes for His Church, His believers, who are the ones that are going to be rewarded with the transformation of their bodies: those who are alive, and those who died (believers in Christ): the resurrection in glorified bodies, eternal bodies.
He doesn’t come to bring judgment to His Church, He comes to bring blessings to His Church; that is why in Revelation chapter 3, verse 20 to 21, He says: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock…” Let’s see how He says it:
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Here He speaks to us about a Supper. Supper is not in the morning, supper is always in the evening. And where is the sun in the evening? Setting in the West. Therefore, it will be in the territory of the West of the planet Earth, which is the continent of the Americas, that He will be knocking at the door.
We saw Him from the East to the West in His trajectory, back in His First Coming in the East, in the Middle East, in Israel; and then we saw Him in Holy Spirit in the apostles; then we saw Him in Asia Minor through Saint Paul; then we saw Him in Europe through five messengers of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and then we see that He, the Holy Spirit, traveled from England… from the sixth age where Wesley was the messenger, in that Age of Philadelphia; and then He traveled from England there, from Europe, He traveled, He flew to North America for the seventh stage of His Church, Christ in Holy Spirit in His Church veiled and revealed in the seventh messenger, Rev. William Branham, just as He was veiled and revealed through each messenger of each age.
And then what is left of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ for us? The call to come up higher, of Revelation chapter 4, where it says: “Come up hither.” And there in that going up of the Church, there are no more ages of the Church, of the seven ages, rather, we go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, to that Golden Age, to that age of and for the adoption of the sons and daughters of God; and that is an eternal age, represented in the number eight.
And therefore, that is the stage for the Coming of the Lord to His Church, it is the stage for Him to come with the saints of the different ages, to resurrect them in physical and glorified bodies, just like the physical and glorified body that Christ has, and for the living, to give them the faith to be changed and taken with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And all of that did not happen in the first age, nor in the second, third, fourth, fifth or seventh age, it is only for the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone. That is why He says: “Look up.” It has always been by looking up.
From the first age one looks up and goes on to the second age, where Christ in Holy Spirit is veiled and revealed in the messenger of that second age, as He was in Saint Paul in the first age of the Church among the Gentiles; and thus He was veiled and revealed in each age through the messenger of each age. That is the revelation of Christ in Holy Spirit in each age.
And whoever was hearing the messenger of each age, in his age, was hearing the Voice of Christ in Holy Spirit speaking through human flesh, the messenger of that time.
That is the Divine Order, the Divine pattern, and which He has not changed in any of the ages. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets to His servants His prophets.”2
The greatest mystery of all the mysteries of the Bible is the Second Coming of Christ, but it will be the simplest of all; and it will be for this end time, for the stage of the Cornerstone; because it is the stage or age for the physical adoption of the children of God, the redemption of the body of every believer in Christ. Therefore, we have to be prepared for that moment.
And since Rev. William Branham said that everything will be in simplicity, then we must remember the words of the Holy Spirit through Rev. William Branham, who says that He works in a simple way manifesting His greatness. On page 37, paragraph 311 at the end, it says [Quotations] [60-0522E – “Adoption #4,” p. 10, para. 36]:
311 – “[36] Now, look at the age coming now right up to the Headstone.”
And there is only one Age of the Cornerstone. It was not the first, it was not the second or third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh. It is the Golden Age of the Church after the seven Church ages.
311 – “[36] See what I mean? The Coming of the Lord, the made known. God and all creations is waiting for the church to positionally find its place.”
What place must She find at this end time? The first age? No, that already passed over a thousand years ago. The position of the second age? Not that either, because that happened long ago. The third, fourth, fifth or sixth? Not those either. The seventh? That one has also passed.
It’s that She finds Her place in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the age that pertains to this end time.
And what stage of the Church pertains to this end time? He says:
311 – “[36] Now, look at the age coming now right up to the Headstone.”
That is what he says is coming after those seven stages of the Church.
Where are you going to look to see the Lord in Holy Spirit manifested in the midst of His Church, making known to us all these things which must come to pass? We must look up, and come up.
Like John: he heard a Voice, and he looked up, and he was told: “Come up hither, and I will show you the things which must come to pass.”
Likewise we look up, to the age that pertains to us, we come up; and that is where we hear the Holy Spirit opening to us these mysteries pertaining to this end time, to give us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
All of this is connected to the Coming of the Lord with His Angels for this end time.
It’s to His Church that He has promised to come, and it’s in His Church that He has been in Holy Spirit during these two thousand years that have passed since the Day of Pentecost.
Remember that He said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.”3
And what would He be doing? Veiling and revealing Himself through the messenger of each time, in the midst of His Church; and making known to him the Message pertaining to each time. And that comes by Divine revelation.
And blessed are they who receive this Divine revelation from God, and can see the manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit through the messenger relevant to each time, at the time in which the person is given to live. As simple as that.
Those who lived in the time of Saint Paul had to see Christ among the Gentiles veiled and revealed through Saint Paul: “Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me,”4 said Saint Paul. It was Christ in Saint Paul veiled and revealed to His Church at that time.
That’s how it has been from stage to stage, from age to age. That is what we have to watch for at this end time: what God has for this end time; and we have to know what is promised, and be attentive so that we don’t miss the fulfillment of what is promised.
Remember that Rev. William Branham said that the mystery of the Seventh Seal in Revelation chapter 10, is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord at the Last Day; that is why there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour; which Christ speaks about… that is Revelation chapter 8, verse 1 and on.
And then chapter 10 of Revelation, the Mighty Angel that comes down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand is Christ, who leaves the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, leaves His Work as Lamb and High Priest, and goes out and takes the Title Deed, Him, Christ, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah; as the elder said to John the Apostle: “Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who has prevailed, who has overcome, to take the Book, and to loose the Seven Seals thereof.”5
When the time of intercession ends, Christ changes from Lamb to Lion, from High Priest to King; because the time of intercession ends: all those who would make up the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ have already been called, gathered and sealed into the Kingdom of God; and it will be completed at this end time.
That is why we are waiting for the Coming of the Lord. It is the most important event of all the prophetic events promised for the end time; but it will be so simple in its fulfillment, that it will go over the heads of many people and they will not even know what happened; as it was two thousand years ago with the First Coming of Christ, where very few people on planet Earth knew that the Messiah had come.
The Gentiles did not know, except for two or three, that the Messiah for the Jews had come. And very few of the Jews themselves knew that the Messiah was on Earth; they saw Jesus of Nazareth as an impostor, as a false prophet, as a man who was possessed by evil spirits, and who performed all those miracles by the finger of Beelzebub.6 In other words, what they thought about Jesus was not positive, except for those who obtained the revelation from Heaven, from God.
Revelation is the most important thing we can receive from God in order to know, to come to know God’s Program for the time in which one is living; and even more to see the Coming of the Lord.
To see the Coming of the Lord two thousand years ago, revelation from Heaven was needed. That is how it will be for this end time.
Therefore, it is prudent that we know the promises that there are for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this end time; and to have our eyes wide open, because they will be fulfilled at this end time.
And that doesn’t mean at any time, that everyone will speak well about what will be happening. Like in the First Coming of Christ, there will be some who will be against it, because they will not have the revelation from the Father, from God.
But there will be others who will have the revelation from Heaven, and will know what will be happening; and they will obtain the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
They will be seeing Christ coming for His Church. And although the ministries of Moses and Elijah are for the Jews, they will be seeing those ministries; but the one that will interest us will be the ministry of whom? Of Christ, the Coming of Christ. It is a mystery. And He comes with His Angels. Therefore, those ministries will be on Earth again.
When the intercession of Christ in Heaven ends, it will be time for the fulfillment of the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Therefore, Christ said: “Watch and pray, for you do not know when the day and the hour will be, the day and the hour when the Son of Man will be manifested, will be revealed.”7
“THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH HIS ANGELS.”
We will continue in the evening, when we will be speaking about the revelation.
May God bless you and keep you, and may you continue receiving the Word of the Lord all the days that we live on this Earth until we are changed, until we obtain the promise of our transformation. And if someone leaves beforehand, well, he will resurrect, there is no problem; the only thing is that he will not be able to continue working because he can no longer work over there. Here on Earth is where we can work in the Work of the Lord.
Therefore, it is a great blessing and privilege to still be here on Earth working in the Work of the Lord in the different fields that open up in the Divine Program, as missionary Rev. Miguel Bermudez Marin said to you.
So, remember that as God said to Joshua, that no man would stand before him,8 that is how it is for the Church of the Lord at this end time.
Therefore, onward working in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior, in all the ways in which it is possible to work; and always supporting in every sense the work or works in the Mystical Body of Christ, also of the project of the Great Tent Cathedral. And we will be successful in all of them.
Everything will revolve around God’s promises for this end time. That is what will guarantee success, victory.
If you can’t or don’t want to help: don’t interrupt what is being done. And see and pray for those who are working then. Never discourage someone who is working in the Work of the Lord in the different stages and works of the Divine Program for this end time.
We will be successful, because it will be the success of Christ with and in His Church.
Someday the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have the greatest promise: the Coming of the Lord with His Angels to reward every person according to (what?) his work;9 and the greatest reward will be our physical redemption, our transformation; and then we will all be co-equal.
Currently we look at each other and some of us look more…, of an older age or older than others; but when we are changed we are all going to look 18 to 21 years old; it is a promise from the Lord for the believers who are alive; and for those who die in – and those who have died in the age in which they were to live, they will be young again, because they will be raised in glorified, young, immortal bodies, like the glorified body of Christ our Savior.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and also upon me. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
I leave Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you again to continue; and then we will be back for tonight’s service, which has already been announced; and which will start, at what time, Miguel? In a few minutes? Half an hour…?
Miguel and I are passing by Cali here, for these two services today: the service or services during the day and tonight’s service.
May God bless you and keep you all; and continue having a happy afternoon or evening, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
