Good morning to everyone present, ministers and brethren from different places who are present; and greetings also to Missionary and Dr. Miguel Bermúdez Marín, there in La Trilla, San Felipe, Venezuela, and to the ministers gathered there, and to their congregations there present; also to Rev. Neudis Fermín, the minister there in La Trilla, San Felipe, Venezuela; I also extend my greetings to all the ministers and their congregations in different countries that are connected to this service.
May God bless you greatly and open our understanding and the Scriptures in order to understand the time in which we are living.
My gratitude to all those who are supporting the project of The Great Tent Cathedral. May God bless you greatly, prosper you spiritually and materially, and use you greatly in His Work at this end time; and may He reward you greatly in the Kingdom of God when the Kingdom of God is established on Earth. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Now let’s read in Saint Matthew chapter 17, verse 1 and on; and we will also read in chapter 16, verse 27 to 28 of Saint Matthew. Saint Matthew 16, verse 27 to 28, says:
“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.
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
And let’s turn to chapter 17, starting from verse 1:
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to comprehend It.
Our subject for this occasion, for our Bible School, is: “THE TRAJECTORY OF ELIJAH’S MINISTRY FOR FIVE TIMES.”
Elijah’s ministry is repeated in the Scripture on different occasions; the ministry of Elijah is manifested on Earth five times. The first time was in Elijah the Tishbite, anointed with the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, who operated that ministry in Elijah the Tishbite; it is the Holy Spirit operating that ministry that He operated in Elijah the Tishbite.
Then, we find that ministry of Elijah for the second time in Elisha, Elijah’s successor as a prophet. When Elijah went to the other side of Jordan, before crossing, he says to Elisha: “Ask for what you want.” Elisha tells him: “I want a double portion of the Spirit that is in you.”
He knew how to ask. He had his mind and his eyes focused on the Divine Program. He didn’t ask for millions of dollars, he didn’t ask for gold nor silver, but for a double portion of the Spirit that was in Elijah. Elijah himself said: “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be granted to you; otherwise, it shall not be granted to you.”1
A double portion; a type and figure of the ministry of the Two Olive Trees for the end time, a type and figure of what was shown on Mount Transfiguration: Moses and Elijah talking with the Lord in that vision which was shown to the apostles, where the Coming of the Lord with His Angels is shown. And His Angels are Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees of Zechariah chapter 4, verses 11 to 14, and Revelation chapter 11, verse 1 to 14.
Those are the ministries of Moses and Elijah promised to be manifested at the end time; a double ministerial portion of the Spirit of Elijah is promised for this end time.
Therefore, what took place there with Elisha asking for and receiving a double portion, is a type and figure of the ministry of the Two Olive Trees at the end time; because on Mount Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appeared talking with Jesus Christ about His departure to Jerusalem.
The Divine Program of the Coming of the Lord with His Angels is shown there, to send them to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe. But before that the Lord calls and gathers the elect from His Church at this end time; and He completes His Church, He gives Her the faith to be changed, which revolves around the Coming of the Lord with His Angels, which revolves around the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord.
And His Voice crying as when a lion roars in Revelation chapter 10, speaks; and what It speaks is the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of the Coming of the Lord with His Angels at the end time; which, upon being revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, will give Her the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to Heaven, to the House of our heavenly Father.
That is the Divine Program contained in the Seventh Seal, which is revealed in Revelation chapter 10, after the Seventh Seal is opened in Revelation chapter 8, and John was told: “Don’t write what the Thunders have uttered.”
In chapter 8 and chapter 10 is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, with the Two Anointed Ones, with Moses and Elijah, which are the ministries that will call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.
What the Seventh Seal is to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: the Coming of the Lord, is the Sixth Seal to the Jews: the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah for the Jews. There we have the mystery pertaining to this end time, which will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to obtain the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Now, the trajectory of Elijah’s ministry five times is found in the Scripture. The first was in Elijah the Tishbite, the manifestation of that ministry of the Holy Spirit operated in Elijah the Tishbite; then, the second time that Spirit—which was in Elijah the Tishbite—was manifested for the second time, it was in Elisha with a double portion; the third time in the trajectory of Elijah’s ministry… The third time was in John the Baptist, of whom Christ said: “He is the Elijah which was to come.” (Chapter 17 of Saint Matthew, verses 1 to 13.)
Then, the fourth time in which the ministering Spirit of Elijah is manifested on Earth is in the midst of Christianity, in Rev. William Branham; that is the fourth time that the ministry of Elijah was operated in a man, in the midst of the human race: forerunning the Second Coming of Christ, just as John the Baptist foreran the First Coming of Christ.
Then, the fifth time in which Elijah, the ministry of Elijah is manifested, is in the manifestation of the Two Olive Trees, which are Moses and Elijah. Those ministries will be manifested at this end time to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe. That is the trajectory of Elijah’s ministry five times.
Just as He came at the beginning with Elijah the Tishbite and then with Elisha, who knew one another, and he was the successor, Elisha was the successor of Elijah… That is why when the sons of the prophets saw that Elijah left, he crossed Jordan with Elisha and was caught away to Heaven in a chariot of fire (or a flying saucer, as they are called nowadays), then Elisha took Elijah’s mantle which had fallen, and wrapped it together as Elijah had done, he smote the waters of Jordan, and they parted as they had when Elijah parted them with His mantle to cross over to the other side. And the sons of the prophets said: “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha.”2
And that is how it is; every time a man appears in whom the manifestation of Elijah, the ministering Spirit of Elijah, is being fulfilled, that is an important moment in the trajectory of Elijah’s ministry five times.
The fifth occasion is for this end time, and that manifestation of Elijah for the fifth time is accompanied by the manifestation of Moses.
These ministries are the ministries of Zechariah chapter 4, verse 1 to 14, referred to as the Two Olive Trees, the Two Candlesticks; the Two Olive Trees also of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 1 to 14.
Therefore, let’s be prepared, because what the Coming of the Lord at the Last Day is to Christianity, is the Sixth Seal, the coming of Moses and Elijah to the Jews, in the trajectory of Elijah’s ministry five times.
We are at the time in which the Jews are going to see and receive Elijah in His fifth ministerial manifestation, accompanied by Moses, by the ministry of Moses for the end time. That is what was shown on Mount Transfiguration, which is the vision of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, which are Moses and Elijah. That is why in Saint Matthew chapter 24, verse 30 to 31, it says:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
The Son of Man in His Coming at the end time sends His Angels, the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees of Zechariah chapter 4, which are the same Two Olive Trees of Revelation chapter 11, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.
When you see the Hebrews, the Jews, looking for Moses and Elijah, the Two Anointed Ones, remember: they will be present at this end time, being sent by the Son of Man, as it is promised.
There we have the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to the Jews, and there we have the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; a mystery that has been kept quiet for thousands of years; it is the greatest mystery in the Bible. That is why in chapter 8 of Revelation, when the Seventh Seal was opened there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
It’s because that mystery is to be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and it can’t be revealed until a certain time, so that there are no imitations. Because there are always many impersonators who try to take advantage and pervert the Divine truth for the time in which they live.
Therefore, that mystery of the Coming of the Lord with His Angels is still a secret, that mystery is not identified yet, so that there are no imitations. And that mystery will be opened in the trajectory of Elijah’s ministry for the fifth time; because the Angels that the Son of Man sends to call and gather the elect: the elect are 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe; and the Angels are the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah calling and gathering the elect of the Hebrew people.
And at the end time, the Son of Man calls and gathers the elect of His Church, He gives them the faith to be changed and raptured, and He will resurrect the dead believers in Christ in glorified and eternal bodies. And once we are all changed with new, eternal, immortal, and young bodies for all eternity, we will be caught away with the Lord to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to the House of our Heavenly Father.
That is what the Bible teaches us for this end time, and we must be realistic and know which are the Divine promises for His Church for this end time.
God bless you and keep you all.
