The Day of the Son of Man and the Works He Will Do in His Coming

Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present, also ministers present, as well as churches in different countries.

May God bless you and keep you. Receive my greetings from the bottom of my heart and on this occasion may God open the Scriptures to us and our understanding so that we understand the Word and the Divine Program pertaining to this end time. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

On this occasion let’s read in the Scripture, in Saint Luke chapter 17, verses 20 to 30, to have our Bible study for this occasion. Saint Luke chapter 17, verses 20 to 30, tells us:

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”

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

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE DAY OF THE SON OF MAN AND THE WORKS HE WILL DO IN HIS COMING.”

The title of Son of man is the title of a prophet. In other words, when it has been promised that the Son of man would come, it is being promised that God will come in Holy Spirit in a manifestation through a veil of flesh. It is important to understand this in order to understand the promise of the Coming of the Son of man at the end time.

When we read the Book of Prophet Ezekiel, we find that God called Ezekiel: Son of man.

Whenever this title is shown or manifested, it refers to God’s manifestation in Holy Spirit in human flesh, in a veil of flesh; that is, among the human race speaking to human beings.

That is the same thing Moses spoke to the people, which God had told Moses; and in chapter 18, verse 15, of Deuteronomy, he tells the people what God had communicated to him for the people of Israel.

Chapter 18 of Deuteronomy, verses 15 to 19, says:

“The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken…”

Who do the people have to listen to? The prophet that God sends, a prophet like Moses. Why? Because the Word of God comes to the prophets, and the prophets communicate it to God’s people who are under the Covenant that is in effect at that time.

“…according to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth…”

Where does God put His Word? In the mouth of the prophet that He sends. That is why we have the Bible, which is the Word of God, but it has come by the Holy Spirit through human beings: through the prophets, then through the apostles, and so forth.

“…and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”

In other words, everyone is called and is responsible before God, to hear what God puts in the mouth of that man when He sends him for that generation, for that occasion.

And since the human being has free moral agency, it is up to the human being to believe or not believe.

If he believes, he will hear the Voice and obey it, he will receive it wholeheartedly; if not, he will say he is not interested, that he doesn’t have to listen, but he has the responsibility before God to hear. “Him you shall hear,” God says. “And whoever will not hear, I will require of him,” God says.

So, each person has his responsibility before God, to hear the Voice of God for the time in which he is given to live, which always comes by the Holy Spirit through a man, through a prophet.

God testifies of this through the Prophet Zechariah in chapter 7, verses 11 to 12, where it says:

“But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets.”

How did God send the Word through His Spirit? By the prophets He would send. That is why God sends prophets in the midst of Israel and also in the midst of His Church, where it says that God has put in His Church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. (Ephesians chapter 4, verse 11.)

So, there is a right way to listen to the Voice of God.

That is why when we read the Bible, we can say that this is the Word of God, because It has come by the Holy Spirit through the men He has anointed as prophets, as messengers for His people, both for the Hebrew people under the Covenant that God gave them through the Prophet Moses, and then under the New Covenant in the midst of Christianity, which we have as the New Testament; which was given by Christ and His apostles through His earthly ministry that He had among Israel and the apostles, who then wrote the story and also the apostolic letters that we have, the ones that were included to form the New Testament and put it together with what God gave Israel through Moses and the prophets.

It is the Word of God because it is what God spoke through human beings anointed with the Holy Spirit, in whom the Holy Spirit was speaking to His people Israel and then speaking to Christianity, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When speaking about the Son of man, we find that it is a Divine Promise, where we already saw that God called His prophets: Son of man; because the title Son of man is the title of a prophet; just like the title Son of God is the title of the Holy Spirit, it is the title of Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church; and like the title of Son of David, that is the title of the Prince Messiah as King, heir to the Throne of David, and therefore to the Kingdom of David; a throne and title that the Messiah will claim and He will sit on the Throne of David, and reign over Israel and over all the nations.

And just like for Israel, the Golden Age was thousands of years ago, the time of King David’s reign and the time of King Solomon’s reign, which are also type and figure of the Messiah, David is a type and figure of the Messiah and so is King Solomon; and in type and figure He is showing that the Kingdom of the Messiah at the Last Day will be the Golden Age of the Kingdom of God on Earth, where the Messiah the Prince will sit on the Throne of David; and the Kingdom of David will be restored as it says in Ezekiel chapter 37, verses 15 to 28.

It is a promise from God to Israel, which will impact the entire world; because Israel will become the Federal District, Jerusalem will become the Capital of the world, and therefore, Israel and its territory will be the most important place on the planet Earth; this is for the Kingdom of the Messiah.

It says that the wealth will be taken to Israel; in other words, Israel will become the place where all the wealth of the world will be.¹ We will see that when we are in the Kingdom of the Messiah: what that Kingdom will be like and what the whole economic, political, judicial, and also religious system will be like, and so forth.

Now, for the Kingdom of the Messiah to come, the promised Prince Messiah must come, and there must be a manifestation of the Son of man at the Last Day.

Jesus Christ was the One who spoke the most about the Coming of the Son of man, just like in Ezekiel we find the book where (referring to Ezekiel) Son of man has been written the most: “Son of man say this, Son of man say that;” he spoke in the Name of the Lord, and that was the creative Word of God for the Hebrew people. Whatever Ezekiel spoke, that had to be fulfilled, it had to be materialized; whether they were blessings or curses.

And now, seeing that Son of man is the title of prophet, and seeing that Daniel also spoke about this subject in chapter 7, verse 13 and on, which was shown for the end time, it says:

“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him…”

There we have the Messiah, but he presents Him as a Son of man; because in order to reign in Israel and over Israel and over all the nations, and to sit on David’s Throne, He must come as the Son of man, He must come as a prophet like Moses; because the promise through Moses was: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet like me; unto him ye shall hearken.” Because God would put what? His Word in the mouth of that prophet; therefore, the Messiah the Prince will be a prophet like Moses.

Regarding this subject, “the Son of man,” he continues saying something here:

“…his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

I Daniel was grieved in my spirit…”

And when we hear about this subject, anyone may be grieved in the spirit, seeing that mankind is in a stage plunging to its destruction, of all its systems, and also of the planet Earth. And to see that there is a promise of a blessing, that makes us think: “But how can that be?”

In times of difficulty (like there are in all countries) it is a light of hope to have the promise of the Coming of the Son of man receiving that power and sitting on the Throne of David to reign over Israel and over all the nations.

As a nation, Israel is the blessed nation that will have the capital of the Kingdom and the Federal District. And if all the wealth of the Earth is going to be taken there, it will become the richest nation on the planet Earth; in other words, there are great blessings for Israel.

“I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me,” (in other words, upon seeing and having those visions, they troubled him).

“I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.”

In other words, this is the Babylonian empire, the Medo-Persian empire, the Greek empire, and the Roman empire represented in four great beasts. And that is the same as the statue² that King Nebuchadnezzar saw and what was interpreted to him by the Prophet Daniel after God showed him in a vision the statue and its meaning or interpretation:

The head of gold, which is the Babylonian empire of Nebuchadnezzar; the breast and arms of silver, which is the Medo-Persian empire; the belly and thighs of bronze, which is the Greek empire with Alexander the Great; and the legs of iron, which is the Roman empire of the Caesars. And it has another part, which is the feet of iron and clay, where the Roman empire continues in its final stage; in other words, the fourth empire, the Roman empire, has two parts.

We won’t explain about that now. “THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN,” is the subject we have. And the Gentile empire will be removed.

The stone that Daniel saw, which was cut out of the mountain and came and smote the image in its feet of iron and clay, and broke them into pieces, that Stone cut out without hands is the Coming of the Messiah; He is the Cornerstone.³ With the Coming of the Messiah, the Gentile empire comes to an end, to make way for the Empire or Kingdom of the Messiah the Prince, from Isaiah chapter 9, verses 1 to 11.

He is that Stone cut out without hands, He is the Prince of Peace, the One who will bring Peace to Israel and to all mankind. He is the One who will sit on the Throne of David upon restoring the Kingdom of David. And that is why the title Son of David is the one that He will use to claim and restore the Kingdom of David.

In plain words, just as the prophet promised by God is a prophet like Moses (who will be the Messiah); the King, the Son of David who is promised, will be a king like David. He won’t be David literally, but a king like David. The Messiah the Prince will reign over Israel and over all the nations, for a thousand years and then for all eternity.

In other words, at the Last Day we will have a Moses and we will have a David. And another one of the titles of the Prince the Messiah is: Son of Abraham. As Son of Abraham, the inheritance is everything that God promised Abraham that He would give him, and He told him: “Everything the soles of your feet tread upon will be yours.”⁴

That is why what Abraham did, what Isaac did, and what Jacob did is good, and what the tribes, the patriarchs, and all the Hebrew people did: walk the whole territory, because every territory where the soles of their feet stepped would be theirs.

Those are Biblical promises which, when believed, are materialized for the people that believe them.

The title Son of Abraham shows us that we will have an Isaac; that will also be the Prince Messiah: the heir to all the territory that God gave, promised, to Abraham and gave to Israel.

There is also another title of the Messiah, which is: Son of God. That title of Son of God contains the inheritance of the Heavens and the Earth. He is the heir to the Heavens and the Earth, and the believers are joint-heirs with Him.

It is important to know these titles, because within those titles is the inheritance of all things: of the Heavens and of the Earth, or of the Earth and of the Heavens.

And as Son of man? As Son of man He is the heir to the Throne of David and Kingdom of David. Therefore, the promise for the Last Day is that the Son of man will come as the lighting comes out of the East and shines in the West.

The East is the land of Israel and the West is the continent of the Americas. As simple as that. Like the sun, which comes out of the East and shines, and sets, finishes its journey, in the West. In other words, the start time is in the East and the time for the end is in the West. And just like the light shines in the East, coming out like this: “Unto those that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His Wings.” (Malachi chapter 4, verse 2.) In the evening time there shall be light. Where does the evening set? In the West.

Therefore, the West, the continent of the Americas, and especially Latin America and the Caribbean, has great promises of great blessings from God. Latin Americans (and then Israel) will see the Coming of the Son of man with those accompanying manifestations which are the works that He will be carrying out; which will be what God has promised for His Church (and then for the Hebrew people), to do at this end time in the Coming of the Son of man. He won’t be doing just anything, but what it is promised that the Lord will do in His Coming at the Last Day, as the Son of man coming to His people.

It is important to be prepared, because whenever God sends a prophet, a Son of man to His people, let’s say that 90% of the time they rejected Him. Not all the prophets that God sent were received by the people, the political leaders, and the religious and academic leaders.

It is because when a prophet is sent, when a Son of man is sent, he doesn’t come to speak according to his own will, but what God puts in His mouth for him to speak.

A prophet like Moses is promised, in whom God will put His Word—in the mouth of that prophet—and he will speak to them everything that God commands him to speak. There will be blessings and there will be curses too.

In plain words, what God will speak or what God has to speak—whether it be for blessings or curses, judgments—He always speaks it through a Son of man, through a prophet.

A prophet is the greatest sign that can be seen on Earth from God; and a prophet, as some have pointed out, is a man who sees where others can’t see; and he hears where and what others can’t hear: the Voice of God.

Therefore, it is important for us to be prepared, because at the end time, which is the time in which we have been given to live, we have the promise of the Coming of the Son of man: a prophet like Moses, a prophet like Isaac, a prophet like Joseph the son of Jacob, a prophet like the other prophets, a prophet like Jesus, a prophet like Elijah.

We have the promise that the Two Olive Trees, the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the Presence of God, which are Moses and Elijah, will be manifested on Earth; those are their ministries repeating at the Last Day. Zechariah chapter 4, verse 1 to 14; and Revelation chapter 11, verse 1 to 14. In other words, we have the promise that there will be a prophet like the Prophet Elijah, and that there will be a prophet like the Prophet Moses.

Whenever it is promised that someone who came in the past will come again, it will be that person’s ministry repeating in another man.

For example, Elijah: later the second Elijah was Elisha, the third Elijah was John the Baptist, the fourth Elijah was Rev. William Branham; and the fifth Elijah is still needed: a prophet like Elijah. He will also be a prophet like Moses, a prophet like Isaac, a prophet like Joseph (the son of Jacob), a prophet like these prophets whom God sent in the past.

The time of the greatest blessings promised for the believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is this time in which we are living. The Bible speaks more about the Second Coming of Christ than about the First Coming of Christ; in other words, it speaks more about the Second Coming of the Son of man than about the First Coming of the Son of man.

Christ Jesus Himself spoke about the Coming of the Son of man, and said: “When you see these things come to pass, the fig tree put forth its buds (Israel put forth its buds as a free and sovereign nation), and the other peoples as well, lift up your heads, for your redemption is near.”⁵ “Your redemption,” in other words, the transformation of our bodies, the redemption of the physical body which is the glorification of the bodies of the believers in order to have immortal, young, eternal bodies for all eternity, interdimensional bodies.

The body of Jesus is as young as when He ascended to Heaven, and such will be the body I will have, and who else’s? Each of yours as well.

One of the works the Son of man will do at the Last Day will be that through Him, God through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit will sound, will blow the Last Trumpet; that Great Voice of Trumpet that the believers in Christ will hear in order to obtain the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

It will be the Trumpet to obtain our physical redemption, immortality. And that will be God’s Final Message, speaking It to His Church, to give us the faith for our transformation.

God will also be manifesting Himself in all His fullness at this end time, in His people of the New Covenant, which is His Church, the believers in Christ of the Last Day.

And that manifestation will also be carried out in a Great Tent Cathedral which was shown to Rev. William Branham, who was the Elijah of his time, in the fourth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah.

That full manifestation of God at the Last Day in a Great Tent Cathedral will be what will take the Church to the highest level of faith; to the point that they will obtain the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

And all of that is within the Divine Program relevant to the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels. Which, for now, it’s best not to explain a lot about so that impersonators don’t come out trying to interrupt God’s Program.

What will the Son of man be doing at the Last day? Fulfilling – working and fulfilling what God has promised for the end time; in other words, God through that manifestation of the Son of man will be fulfilling what is promised for this end time.

Remember how Jesus would identify Himself as the Son of man? He would say: “I do nothing of Myself, I do what it pleases the Father that I do. The Father shows Me what I must do.” And He also said: “I speak nothing of Myself. As I hear the Father speak, that is what I speak to you.”⁶ As simple as that.

That is why the Voice of God was being heard through that young carpenter of Nazareth called Jesus, in whom God was veiled and revealed in all His fullness. And that is why the Son of man was a prophet, God veiled in human flesh, Emmanuel, God with us, as it says in Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14. Emmanuel: God with us.⁷

God uses different veils of flesh at different times, to manifest Himself and be in the midst of His people, and speak to His people the Word they must hear, which is a blessing for His people who are under the Covenant in effect at the time in which God speaks.

That is why the Scripture says: “He that has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.” It is the Holy Spirit, it is God in His heavenly body called the Angel of the Covenant, veiled in a human body, speaking to His people; and that is the manifestation or coming or revelation of the Son of man.

Rev. William Branham said on page 22 and 23 of the Book of Quotations that the Son of man was revealing Himself in mercy: that was through Rev. William Branham; and he said He would reveal Himself again but in judgment.⁸ In other words, He will be speaking the Divine Judgments that will come upon the human race, the apocalyptic judgments, the apocalyptic plagues, He will be opening them, making known all those things that will happen. In other words, He will be preaching what the “Day of Vengeance of our God” will be; He will be preaching, announcing, the Divine Judgments that will come upon the human race; because God will put that Word, that revealed Word in His mouth to make It known to the human race.

Many will realize that what he will be saying is the truth, and they will be able to prevent consequences; others won’t pay attention, they won’t give it importance (as it happened in the time of Noah), and they will perish.

The Day of the Son of man. “One day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,” says Second Peter chapter 3, verse 8; and also Psalm 90, verse 4.

And the Day of the Son of man, to human beings, will be the seventh millennium from Adam to now; which, according to the Gregorian calendar we are already in that Last Day or seventh millennium from Adam to now. It is the Lord’s Day, which John the Apostle was transported to in Revelation chapter 1, verses 10 to 11, and he saw the things that will happen at this end time.

As a Church age it will be the Age of the Cornerstone, just as the First Coming of Christ was an Age of the Cornerstone; in other words, the Coming of the Son of man two thousand years ago was in an Age of the Cornerstone, and had a forerunner called John the Baptist. And Jesus was the One in whom that manifestation of the Son of man was, because He was a prophet in whom God was putting His Word and speaking It; He was a dispensational prophet.

Therefore, the entire Dispensation of Grace revolves around the First Coming of the Lord, the First Coming of the Son of man in the midst of His people.

At the Last Day, the Coming of the Son of man will be carried out in the midst of Christianity and then in the midst of the Hebrew people; who will see that manifestation of the Son of man and say: “This is the One we are waiting for.”

There will be a dispensational ministry for the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, where the Kingdom of David will be restored for the blessing and happiness of the Hebrew people and of all the believers in Christ of all times.

We will recognize that manifestation of the Son of man by being positioned in the Day of the Son of man, which is the Age of the Cornerstone as an age, and in chronological time it will be the seventh millennium from Adam to now.

And by the works that will be carried out—the Holy Spirit through that manifestation of the Son of man—we will recognize the Coming of the Son of man at this end time. That is what we have in order to recognize the Coming of the Son of man at this end time.

He will be sounding the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, and carrying out the gathering of all of God’s elect from Christianity and also from the Jews; in other words, there will also be a blessing for the Jews, as well as for the Christians and also the relatives of the believers.

“THE DAY OF THE SON OF MAN AND THE WORKS HE WILL DO IN HIS COMING.”

It is simple. We already know that Son of man is the title of a prophet, and that when God manifests the Coming of the Son of man, in the past it was God coming in a full manifestation in Jesus; and that is why Jesus would say: “the Son of man,” and identify Himself as the Son of man; because Son of man is a title – a title of a prophet.

In order for there to be a manifestation of the Son of man, there must be a veil of flesh, a prophet, on Earth; if there isn’t, there can’t be a Coming and manifestation of the Son of man.

God as Son of man manifested through human flesh. He must have a veil of flesh. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets to His servants, His prophets.”⁹

And the works that are promised for the Last Day, to be done, to be carried out by God through the Son of man, will be the signs we will see to identify the Coming of the Son of man; because the signs in the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Earth, are already being seen by everyone: the problems of the planet Earth, the problems in the stars, in the sun, the explosions in the sun, the holes in the ozone layer, those are all signs; there are also signs on the moon, eclipses are signs as well, and so on. Everyone sees those signs and sometimes they don’t know what they are seeing.

Now, it is important to see the signs among the believers, which will be the most important ones regarding the faith of the believers in Christ and also of the Jews. Because the Jews are waiting for the coming of Elijah proclaiming the everlasting peace, and so are Christians; the Jews are waiting for a prophet like Moses, the Messiah, and so are Christians.

The blessing will come first to the believers in Christ, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Christians; and the Jews will see it and say: “This is the One we are waiting for.” As simple as that.

And then the week, the second part of the seventieth week of the prophecy of Daniel chapter 9, will be fulfilled for the Jews, which is all that’s left for the Jews of the seventy weeks of Daniel. They have three and a half years left, because that week stopped: Christ fulfilled the first part with three and a half years of ministry, and it stopped there when Christ was crucified; and there are three and a half years left, which will be the time of “Jacob’s trouble,” Israel’s squeeze, which will come at this end time, where God will deal with Israel again.

Everything is simple in God’s Program. All we need is for God to open the Scriptures to us and open our understanding so that we understand.

“THE DAY OF THE SON OF MAN AND THE WORKS HE WILL DO IN HIS COMING.”
