Good evening, kind friends and brethren present. It is a great privilege and blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
In Revelation chapter 5, verse 1 and on, it tells us:
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to (read) look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“A HEAVENLY CRY.”
In this passage we have seen what will be happening in Heaven in a short time.
The One who is sitting on the Throne, God the Father, has in His right hand a little Book sealed with Seven Seals, which is the Lamb’s Book of Life, in which the names of all those who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are written.
It is the most important Book of Heaven and Earth: it is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, it is the Title Deed of all Creation; it is the Title Deed that was given to Adam, but when they (Adam and Eve) sinned, God took that Title Deed back, and that is why It appears in the right hand of God.
That Title Deed at the end time, at the Last Day, will be taken by Christ when He leaves the Throne of Intercession, where He has been for two thousand years (plus the time that is left for Him to be in the Most Holy Place) interceding with His own Blood for all those who receive Him as only and sufficient Savior.
When the number of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is completed, which will happen when the very last elect whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life has come in, then Christ will have finished His Work of Intercession as High Priest in Heaven, in God’s Temple, there in the Most Holy Place, then He will leave the Throne of Intercession and He will become the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
That is why when there was an elder there that was near John, who was hearing a Strong Angel proclaiming with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the Book, and to loose the Seals thereof?” The elder was near John, and John was weeping a lot because no one in Heaven, nor on Earth, nor under the Earth, was found worthy to take that Book and open It. It has to be a man who was born on Earth without sin, and who was the Kinsman Redeemer of the human being.
The prophets were there, but they had all come through the union of a man and a woman. And there was someone there who had not come through a man and a woman: Adam, but he had sinned, therefore he could not be that kinsman redeemer who would take that Book; he had It and he lost It. And where was Christ? He was on the Throne of Intercession, interceding for the last ones who would receive Him as their only and sufficient Savior.
And the moment comes when the elder sees that the Work of Intercession ends, and he sees Christ leaving the Throne of Intercession, just like the high priest would come out of the most holy place on the tenth day of the seventh month, after carrying out the work of intercession with the atoning blood of the goat, according to Leviticus chapter 16, verse 1 and on; and chapter 23, verses 26 to 29.
When the high priest would come out, notice, his work also changed. He would come out to the people, he would lay his hands on the goat (the other goat), confess the sins of the people, send it far away; and by the evening he… Remember that it’s very important that he would finish the duties in the temple in the evening; because in the evening is when Christ will finish His duties as High Priest in Heaven, in the heavenly Temple.
According to the Divine Program we are in the evening time, which pertains to the West, to the continent of the Americas; because the sun sets in the evening, and it sets in the West, which is the territory where the sun finishes its journey.
And now, in the evening time Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession, when the last one written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, meaning, in that Seven-Sealed Book, becomes part of His Church; and then He will be the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He will no longer be the Lamb of God.
But John hears the elder say to him: “Weep not.” It’s because without the coming or without the appearance of a man to claim, to take that Book, to open It and carry out the Claiming Work, claim everything that was created: Creation, including the human being, everything would be lost; because when the Divine cycle comes for something to be carried out in the Divine Program, it can’t be at another time: it must be at the time established by God.
And now, John wept so much because unless a kinsman redeemer appeared everything was lost; in other words, everything would go back to nothingness, everything would disappear, all of Creation would cease to exist. That is why that moment was so important; a moment that is getting closer, in Heaven, to becoming a reality.
Everything that happens in Heaven, in God’s heavenly Temple, is then reflected in the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is His Church.
And now, the elder knew the Divine Program; John wasn’t aware of, he didn’t know what was going to happen. And he says to John: “John, weep not. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed to open the Book.” And when John sees the… when the elder tells him: “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” when John looks: he sees Christ, he sees the Lamb of God, of whom John the Baptist said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”1 But now the elder presents Him as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. John sees Him bloody, because He was coming out of the Throne of Intercession.
When a person sees, in the Old Testament, the high priest coming out of the throne of intercession, where he had entered with the blood of the goat, it is normal to see him bloody, because he was carrying out the work of intercession with blood, the blood of the goat.
And now, John sees Christ bloody, it’s His own Blood, but the change had taken place: He was already the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Therefore, the change had taken place in Him, but now He was going to change His garments… later on. And now He becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He takes the Book, opens It in Heaven, and carries out the Claiming Work, where He will claim everything He has redeemed with His precious Blood; in other words, every person who has received Him as Savior and whom He has cleansed from all sin with His Blood.
Christ with His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross has redeemed the Earth and the human being. Therefore, the Earth will be claimed by Christ, just as every believer in Christ will be claimed at this end time: the dead in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies, and we who are alive will be transformed. That is the Claiming Work, not in the seventh stage or age of the Church, but in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is an eternal age.
The First Coming of Christ was in the Age of the Cornerstone of the past time, and He was the Cornerstone of the Church under the Old Covenant; and the Stone was rejected by the religious leaders, the builders.2
At the Last Day, the Cornerstone, Christ in His Second Coming, will come for His Church, for our transformation and the catching away or rapture of the Church, to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day will be working based on the Divine promises for the Last Day. Therefore, just like Moses worked on a construction of a tabernacle in the wilderness, as God showed him… and gave the people the opportunity, according to God’s will, to become part of the group who would support that work, that Divine project.3
And all those who were giving offerings, who were supporting, were carrying out a work of faith. And Moses and the people obtained the victory: they had the tabernacle, where God dwelt, where God’s Glory entered and was manifested,4 from which God then spoke to the prophet Moses.
That tabernacle is a type and figure of the Temple which is in Heaven, and it is also a type and figure of the temple that King Solomon would build, and it is a type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is also a type and figure of every human being; because the human being is a temple for God to dwell in.
At the end time, just as in the time of Moses and the time of King Solomon, when he received the order to build the temple for God in Jerusalem, the people were also united with King Solomon, supporting financially and with their hands too;5 and the temple for God, where the Name of God was, became a reality. Because God said that He would choose the city where He would put His Name,6 for which there also had to be a temple for God; and the Name of God was there in the temple, in the most holy place.
At the Last Day, in the midst of Christianity, a labor will be carried out, a Work that has already been spoken, where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have Its climax of the manifestation of Christ in all His fullness in a Great Tent Cathedral; therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be working on that Divine project. That is a Divine project. And God’s partner for all the Divine projects is the human being; God has always worked through the human being.
Notice, in the time of Moses, the construction of the tabernacle was through the work that Moses and the people carried out. And also in the time of King Solomon, the construction project of the temple for God was carried out through King Solomon and the people who joined him in that construction.
That’s how it will be at this end time, where the people will unite in this Divine project, which they already know is promised, is prophesied, and that the Presence of God will be manifesting Itself in all Its fullness.
And that will be a Great Tent Cathedral for God to manifest Himself in all His fullness, and where the content of the Book sealed with Seven Seals will be spoken; the Trumpets will be spoken, in other words, the Trumpets (what the Trumpets spoke) will be made known; and also the Vials; and the Plagues contained in those Vials, and poured out upon the Earth.
Therefore, there will be Word of God for the people in the fulfillment of The Great Tent Cathedral.
And the Presence of God, the Pillar of Fire, will be there; even the Angel who accompanied Rev. William Branham will also be there. Therefore, the Angel who accompanied the prophet Moses and the Hebrew people, whom He delivered from bondage in Egypt, will be there. In other words, there will be a Presence and manifestation of Divine angels, angels of God, in the fulfillment of The Great Tent Cathedral. The Third Pull, that great manifestation on behalf of God, will be fulfilled there.
Remember that the Third Pull is part of two previous pulls. They were shown to Rev. William Branham in a place where he saw a lot of water, a lake, and where he saw a lot of fish, trout (which are delicious), and he saw small fish and there were also very big fish there.
He was told, the Angel said to Rev. William Branham: “I’ll teach you to fish.”7 Remember that all of that, the physical catch of fish, is a type and figure of the spiritual catch of fish: the catch of souls for the Kingdom of Christ in the sea of nations, peoples, and tongues.
And in the First Pull he had to throw the hook, with the line or fishing line, and after that give it a gentle pull, little by little, and the fish, small fish, would follow it; and then when the big fish saw the little fish following it, they would come too. Remember that big fish, in rivers and in the sea, look for little fish to eat them.
And he was told: “And when you see the little fish… (that was already the First Pull, and then the Second Pull), when you see the little fish following the lure, the big fish will come. You will pull (not too hard), and then the big fish will come when they see the little fish; because when you give it a little pull, then the small fish will swim more quickly to go and get the lure.” And then, later on, then comes the bigger pull, because you will catch the big fish. Hardly anyone goes to the river or to a lake or to the sea to catch little fish; they always want to catch big fish.
And so, in the Third Pull was when the big fish, elect fish, would be caught.
But when he had to pull in that Second Pull, he pulled too hard; and he caught something, but he caught one of the little fish; and it was so small that it looked like the lure that was on the hook. And then his fishing line got all tangled up, and then, well, the Angel called him out on it, and said to him: “I told you to pull gently.” And so, he didn’t do it that way; he pulled too hard, and even the hook with the little fish came out of the water (in other words, it went afloat).
All of that is a type and figure of the catch of souls.
And it stopped there, and then he went on to another vision. The Third Pull was not fulfilled there.
He is taken into another vision where the same thing also happens: when he has a little baby shoe, he puts the shoelace (I don’t know what you call it here) to lace it through the eyelet of the shoe, and he takes the part that isn’t supposed to go in; and the Angel tells him: “You’re holding the shoestring wrong.” And then he looks at the other end, and then the other end had a piece of metal [aglet] so that it could go in.
All of that was a type and figure of the things that happened in his ministry, trying to teach supernatural things to babies of the seventh age, of the Pentecostal age; and it caused many imitations, many people impersonating him; and then they turned their sight to those other people, instead of continuing to look at the manifestation of the Holy Spirit through Rev. William Branham.
Then he was taken up to a higher dimension and he was taken to a Great Tent Cathedral, and there he saw everything that was happening.8
It was not his, because that Tent was in operation, services and an altar call were being carried out; a preaching and an altar call and all these things. And he saw that it was a Tent Cathedral, and he saw many people, an altar call; and then he saw that they made a prayer line to pray for the sick.
And he saw a little room; and in the little room: people there in front, who were in charge of receiving people who were brought to be prayed for; and they would go into that little room through one door, and they would come out through the other door testifying that they had been healed. But when they were asked: “What happened? How did it happen?” They would say: “I don’t know how it happened, but it happened.”
And then Rev. William Branham asks: “Why in that place, in that little room?” He was told: “Didn’t the Lord say, ‘When you pray, be not like the hypocrites,’” (in other words, who pray out loud, and so that everyone sees them, and says and thinks that they are spiritual people), “‘but enter into your secret closet, pray to your Father who sees you in secret; and your heavenly Father will reward you openly’?”9
Notice where those words of Christ are completely fulfilled. Because they are words that are fulfilled in individuals when they pray in their homes, and also in this Divine Program of Christ and His Church.
Therefore, that little place will be a secret closet for the one who is to pray in that place: and Christ will reward him openly. And people will come out testifying of the blessing they have received: the healing of their body.
And he was told: “That’ll be the Third Pull.”
Therefore, the Angel who accompanied him, and the Pillar of Fire, will be in that little room too. Therefore, there will be a Tent Cathedral where there will be a little room and where the Presence of the Lord will be; and that will be in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the age that pertains to our time, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
It can’t be for the seventh age of the Church, the seventh age which pertains to the Pentecostal age, because that age already passed, its messenger finished his work. Therefore, another stage is coming in the Divine Program, where the Third Pull will be fulfilled and where the big fish will be caught.
What God has in store to carry out in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be a great manifestation.
Therefore, there will be people of faith, who will be believing in the Divine promise; and not only believing, but working to make it a reality, because “faith without works is dead.”10
Therefore, there will be people who will say: “I believe in the Tent Vision;” but if they don’t do anything, it’s of no use for them to say that they believe.
There will be people who say: “I believe and I work to make the promise of the Tent Vision a reality. Therefore, show me your faith by your works. What are you doing? Because I will show you my faith by my works, the work that I am doing in favor of the fulfillment of that Tent Vision.”
That is how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will culminate, to then go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
God is going to shake this world with the Third Pull, with His Presence in the midst of the Church, fulfilling that stage that is promised and that will be manifested when a squeeze comes upon the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But the total persecution will come in the Great Tribulation. Therefore, in the time of the squeeze the full manifestation of the Lord will come, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the transformation of us who are alive will come; and then a few more days: using that body for the first time here on Earth, and we will see that that new body will work very well, to the point that we will take flight, like Jesus Christ when He went up to Heaven and went to the House of the heavenly Father.
Two thousand years ago He went – He went up, He went to the House of the heavenly Father, and He is there; and now we are to go to the House of the heavenly Father, for which we need an interdimensional body, a glorified body, a perfect body, a body with eternal life, to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, in other words, the feast or reception of the Wedding of Christ and His Church, of the Marriage or union of Christ and His Church.
And Christ will be able to say, when He greets us He will be able to say: “This is flesh… your hand is flesh of My flesh and bone of My bones. This hand is a glorified hand like mine, and so is your entire body: a glorified body like My glorified body,” Christ will tell us. That is how it will be for all of us; we will be just like Him, in the image and likeness of Christ.
Therefore, let’s work in the Divine project of The Great Tent Cathedral; and may God bless you and keep you, and use you greatly in this Divine project.
Remember that it is a promise, and that promise, that Vision, will soon be a vision made a reality. And we will have the privilege of then saying: “I worked on that Divine project.” Whoever doesn’t work will be able to say: “What a beautiful temple, that Great Tent Cathedral, but I didn’t work on it. If I would have known that it would be so glorious, I would have worked.” It’s because it must be by faith, believing; and he didn’t believe. And whoever doesn’t believe, well, doesn’t work. Without faith, well, it is impossible to please God.11
Therefore, onward working on the Divine project of The Great Tent Cathedral; and may God bless you, prosper you, and use you greatly in His Work at this end time. And we will continue seeing one another for all eternity.
And now, we will be giving a big push, so that the project of The Great Tent Cathedral becomes a reality as soon as possible.
I will leave Missionary Miguel Bermúdez Marín with us again, to thus conclude our participation tonight, and so that you can go to your homes happy, grateful to God for enjoying God’s blessings tonight, and also so that we can go back to the place where we are staying; and also finish packing, because we have to travel tomorrow.
Well, may God bless you and keep you; and thank you very much for your kind attention.
