Good morning, beloved friends and brethren gathered here in Ambato, Ecuador. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship around the Program of God and to see the day we have been given to live, and to clearly see how to serve our God, Jesus Christ, and how to receive His blessings relevant for this end time, and thus be prepared to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
For this occasion, we have the reading of the Word of God in Matthew, chapter 24, verses 37 to 39, where Jesus Christ Himself speaks, saying:
“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “A UNIVERSAL JUDGMENT THROUGH WHICH GOD SPEAKS TO US TODAY.”
Through this divine judgment of the flood that came upon the human race, the antediluvian generation, God speaks to us in this end time; and He tells us that just as the days of Noah were, so shall also be the day when the Son of Man will be manifested, so shall also be the day or days when the Son of Man will come.
It says: “…so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” And He also tells us: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
And in Luke, Jesus Christ Himself tells us in chapter 17, verse 26 and on (26 to 30 says):
“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.”
Now, we can see that both the days of Noah and the days of Lot represent the last days, these days in which we live, which would be parallel to the days of Noah and the days of Lot.
Now, through the judgment of the flood that came upon the human race, God speaks to the human race that lives in this time and shows them that this will be the time when the Son of Man will be manifested here on Earth, where after the call with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom… where all the elect of God are called and gathered together, and placed in the Mystical Body of Christ, and prepared to be transformed and raptured, and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb before the divine judgment comes.
Not a flood of water but of fire, which will burn the wicked, as it is announced by Christ Himself and by John the Baptist, and by the prophet Malachi, when they speak to us about what will happen in the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium. For example, Malachi in chapter 4 tells us, verse 1:
“For, 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.”
This is parallel to the judgment of the flood that came upon the human race thousands of years ago, in Noah’s time.
And what will happen to the sons and daughters of God who live on Earth? He goes on to say:
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…”
The salvation to escape the divine judgment that will come upon the Earth is the coming or birth of the Sun of Righteousness, which is the Second Coming of Christ; and in His wings He will bring salvation: He comes with His Angels, which are His wings, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
Those are the ministries represented in the wings of the Sun of Righteousness, just as an eagle has two powerful wings; and they represent, the two wings, they represent the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which Christ will be manifesting on Earth in the Last Day.
That is why we see on page 14-A of the book of Quotations in Spanish, verse 144, where it says1:
“So let us do what we can while it’s day, and someday there’ll be a… the wings of a white Eagle will come down, He’ll bear us away.”
There we have the wings of the Sun of Righteousness: “the wings of a white eagle.” An eagle is a prophet. And Christ, when He came two thousand years ago, being a prophet He was the mighty eagle that at that time was manifested; just as other mighty messengers of God were manifested in earlier times.
Now, for the Last Day we have the promise of a white eagle that will come down and bear us away: it is the Second Coming of Christ with His mighty wings of the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of the Two Candlesticks, the ministries of Revelation, chapter 11 and Zechariah, chapter 4, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Two Olive Trees. These ministries come for the blessing of all the elect of God:
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect…”
This Great Voice of Trumpet is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing, proclaiming the Seventh Seal, in other words, revealing the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels in this end time.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says in the book of Quotations, page 47, verse 402, it says2:
“‘For we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, down here,…’”
Who is this promise of transformation for? For us who live and have remained until the Coming of the Lord.
“‘…shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep (that is, those who have departed, the saints who have departed).’ Them precious ones that sealed their blood…sealed their testimony with their blood. ‘Not prevent or hinder those that are asleep, for the trumpet will sound.’ Something will take place, ‘the Gospel something will sound,’ the announcing of His coming.”
Now, what will sound? What will sound is the announcement of His Coming: the Second Coming of Christ will sound, it will reveal the Second Coming of Christ to all the sons and daughters of God.
And after it has revealed that mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, and all the elect of God have been called and gathered, what will happen? The dead in Christ will resurrect:
“‘And the dead in Christ shall rise first. And we which are alive and remain shall be changed.’ Standing, and feel a change come on: the gray hair go out, the wrinkles fall away, be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. And we shall meet our loved ones first (our loved ones who have departed).”
Now, we can see what this Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet is. It was also spoken of by the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ on page 129, where it says3:
“He said, at… ‘The Great Trumpet would sound. The Great Trumpet!’ Not Trumpets now, feast of trumpets; there is two of them, Moses and Elias, to call the Trumpet. But, under ‘the Great Trumpet,’ the Coming of the Lord, to announce Joseph returning, see, that all nations would assemble at Jerusalem. Amen. You find that in the Book of Isaiah. I just give it to you, a while ago, one of those chapters we read; that’s in Isaiah 18:1 and 3. And in Isaiah 27:12 and 13, is where He sounds that ‘Trumpet,’ and all of the nations will recognize Israel in her homeland, God with her. Then the Bride will come to be with the Bridegroom, and the Bridegroom with the Bride; and then the great Millennium, after the whole world is destroyed by atomic power. And there will be ‘a new heavens and new earth,’ shall live forever.”
Here we can see that he also speaks to us of the destruction of the world, as it was in the time of Noah and in the time of Lot. Here he tells us that it will be with atomic power, and many nations already have that atomic power prepared for a Third World War.
Now, let’s see here, on page 130, where he tells us on verse 11644:
“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’”
In other words, the Last Trumpet of which Saint Paul speaks in First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 51 to 55. It says:
“…for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’”
Now notice what that Last Trumpet is: that Last Trumpet, like the last Seal, is the Coming of the Lord.
Also, on page 149, verse 1333, it says5:
“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ Just resting till that time.”
In other words, the dead in Christ, those who have departed in different ages, have been resting; and they rest until that Last Trumpet has sounded…, the Last Trumpet has sounded, which is the Seventh Seal, which is the Second Coming of Christ. And then the dead in Christ will rise, and we who are alive will be changed; and we will all go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with eternal bodies.
And these days are those days as the days of Noah, where God, just as He was giving a Message through the prophet Noah (a dispensational prophet) to the believers (who were few), for this end time He would be speaking to us with that Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Seventh Seal, and He would be revealing to us the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
And now, notice what it tells us on page 116; verse 1026 says6:
“This Book is already opened, that’s right, just waiting for the Seventh Seal to be identified of the Coming of Christ.”
Now notice how the Coming of Christ is the greatest mystery of all the mysteries, which would be revealed at this end time.
This is the most glorious time of all times. This is the time when God’s elect obtain the revelation of this mystery and thus obtain the great blessing of seeing this mystery of the Seventh Seal open, to see the greatest mystery of all the divine mysteries open, which is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
It says on page 120, verse 10647:
“And then, oh, we find out over here in Revelation 10, ‘In the days of the Message of the seventh angel, the mysteries of God should be finished,’ the Seventh Seal would be pulled back.”
And what is the Seventh Seal? It is the Coming of the Lord. That is the mystery that for this end time is promised to be opened with that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, that Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, the Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom sounding and revealing the mystery of His Coming.
And Christ said that these days would be like the days of Noah. What would be as in the days of Noah? The Coming of the Son of Man, the Coming of the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
Now we have seen how God through a universal judgment (as the flood was) speaks to us today, in this final day, in this end time, showing us that what happened back then is a type and figure of what would be happening here in this end time.
There was a dispensational prophet back then: Noah; and for this end time, there will be a dispensational prophet, the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Gospel of the Kingdom for this end time, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is the seventh dispensational prophet.
Now, God has had hundreds or thousands of prophets, but He has only had seven major prophets, seven dispensational prophets. That is the kind of greater prophet that God sends to planet Earth.
• Adam was the first one, for the Dispensation of Innocence, with the Message of Innocence.
• Seth was the second one, for the second dispensation, the Dispensation of Consciousness.
• Noah was the third one, for the third dispensation, the Dispensation of the Human Government, with the Message of the Human Government.
• Abraham was the fourth one, for the Dispensation of the Promise, with the Message of the Promise.
• Moses was the fifth dispensational prophet, for the fifth dispensation, the Dispensation of the Law, with the Message of the Law.
• Jesus was the sixth one, for the sixth dispensation, with the Message of Grace.
• And now, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the seventh dispensational prophet, for the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the seventh dispensational Message.
And there are no more dispensational prophets, and there will be no more minor prophets; God already says that He will give the reward to His prophets, to the saints, and to those who have kept the Word of God.
Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on, it says:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
Look, for those who destroy the Earth, what does the Word say here? That God will destroy them. And they are represented in what? In the tares, which will be burned; for God will destroy them with atomic fire.
But for the prophets who have lived in the past, and those who have served God in the past and those who serve God in the present, and the messengers that He has sent from age to age, and for the last prophet messenger, what does it say here? He says:
“and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets (in other words, God will give the reward to His prophets of different ages and dispensations; and also) and to the saints, and (to those who fear the Name of the Lord) and them that fear thy name, small and great…”
In other words, it is a time of reward; for Christ said in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 12: “Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to reward every man according as his work shall be.”
And the work of the tares has been to destroy the Earth and destroy the saints of God; therefore they will receive the reward that pertains to them. And Christ says:
“…and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
That will be the reward for those who have been destroying the Earth and have been destroying the saints of God; and that is in the manifestation of the wrath of Christ, the wrath of the Lamb.
But for the prophets, the saints and those who fear the Name of the Lord the reward is eternal life, and many blessings that they will inherit to enjoy them in the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity. And each one will occupy his rightful place according to the works that he has carried out in the Work of Christ in the age and dispensation which he has lived in; for our work in the Lord is not in vain8.
“He which…” The Scripture says9: “He who sows sparingly, will reap (what?) sparingly; but he who sows bountifully will reap bountifully, will harvest much.”
So let us sow in the Kingdom of God by working in the Work of Christ to the fullest, so that we reap much fruit of our labors when He rewards us in that great moment, at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where He will be distributing the rewards for our works carried out in the Kingdom of God, in the Work of God.
Notice, we are living in the end time; and just as for the time when the flood would come upon the Earth…
Look at what happened at that time. In Genesis, chapter 6, when God sent to build the ark, look at what God told Noah. Chapter 6, verse 13 to 17, it says:
“And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.”
Because it’s full of tar on the inside and outside… Look at the painting, the color of the ark: tar color. Who would have thought that an ark, such a large boat…?, and then painted like that; because the Scripture does not say that later Noah, on top of that tar, had painted it. It was a rare monument, but it was the only monument, the only means of salvation, to escape destruction.
“And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits (1 cubit equals 18 inches10).
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it (that is, of 3 levels or 3 floors).
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.”
Then, when the only thing missing was… the ark was already built; it says in chapter 7:
“And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.”
God saw a righteous prophet, a dispensational prophet, who, notice, offered to God the sacrifice for sin with those little animals that he sacrificed, and the blood of those little animals covered sin before God.
And why? Because they were the type and figure of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who would die on Calvary’s Cross and take away the sin of the world.
But since those little animals were not perfect, then their blood only covered sin while the perfect Lamb appeared, who would take away the sin of the world. And when Christ died on Calvary’s Cross and shed His Blood there, the sin of those people —which was covered (the people of the Old Testament)— was taken away.
They already had the type and figure; and when the reality came, which was Christ, then the total cleansing of their sins is put into effect in them; and so they were able to resurrect with Christ on Easter Sunday morning.
And now, we no longer need those little animals to be making sacrifices, because we already have a sacrifice of a perfect Lamb, which is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ and His Sacrifice carried out on Calvary’s Cross. And that is why the Hebrew people no longer need animal sacrifices.
But the Hebrew people have not yet recognized that perfect Sacrifice that Christ carried out, and for that reason the Hebrew people are found with their sins; and they are not covered from the presence of God because they do not have the sacrifices of the animals, and neither are they taken away because they have not received Christ as their Savior. And since the wages of sin is death, what has been scourging the Hebrew people? The wages of sin, which is death; and they almost exterminated the Hebrew people in the days of Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. But the Hebrew people will be awakened in this end time.
Now, let’s see how for that time of Noah, God tells Noah… when only seven days were left for the flood to fall, for the divine judgment to come, God tells Noah that He has only found him righteous. There was only one righteous man left on Earth. His ancestors had already died, who had also been prophets of God, such as Adam, Seth, Enos and (let’s see)… Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel… Cainan, Mahalaleel, also Jared.
Enoch was transposed not to see death11</a>; he was the seventh, counting from Adam, counting Adam, Seth, and all of them.
After Enoch came Methuselah, which lived 969 years; and the year Methuselah died, the flood came that year.
And Methuselah was the son of Enoch, who was taken by God not to see death; he went away having only… he went away very young… Let’s see how old he was when he left. When he fathered Methuselah, he was 65 years old and when… and after that he lived 300 years, and during those 300 years he fathered sons and daughters; and it says [Genesis 5:23]:
“And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”
He left young: 365 years old.
And a 365-year-old man can no longer be seen today, but at that time he was a young man; his son Methuselah lived 969 years, the man who lived the longest; and Methuselah, who was the eighth (the eighth, Methuselah), left… in other words, he lived 969 years, he lived the longest; but Enoch, who was the seventh since Adam, was the one who went in the rapture, he was raptured, God took him away to not see death.
And the seventh dispensational messenger from Adam until now, who will it be? The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will be walking with God; and his group, his family, his group of his age and dispensation will also be walking with God in the age and dispensation for this end time.
And that is why the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ that will be raptured, is represented in whom? In Enoch, the seventh from Adam.
And that is why the messenger and the group of his dispensation, of the seventh dispensation, and the seventh dispensational messenger, are those who have the promise to be transformed and raptured in this Last Day, because they will be the ones who will be walking with God in the dispensation pertaining to this time and in the age pertaining to this time, where the seventh dispensation is intertwined with the sixth dispensation.
Now, we can see all these things that happened in the past and now we can see Noah, who was Enoch’s grandson – or Enoch’s great-grandson.
Enoch was the father of Methuselah, Methuselah was the father of Lamech (Lamech was number 9), and Lamech was the father of Noah, and Noah was number 10 on that list of prophets of God, of that list of Adam to Noah; and the eleventh was Shem, and so on we continue to see that list of these servants of God, these prophets of God.
Now, notice, God told Noah to build an ark, to place a window on top of it and also to make a door on the ark, a door through which they would enter it (that one, well, could not be at the top, but at the bottom). But look what happened here, he says:
“And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.”
And now, in chapter 7 He tells him:
“And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.”
In that year Methuselah died, because Methuselah means ‘when thou art dead, it shall be sent’; and when Methuselah died, the flood was sent that year. Methuselah was Noah’s grandfather.
It goes on to say…, in verse 7 it continues:
“And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark…”
In other words, they came with Noah, that list, notice, of animals and birds and reptiles, and Noah ahead guiding them, and them going toward the ark.
And we can say that more knowledge of the things that were going to happen at that time —which Noah was preaching—, those animals that entered the ark had more knowledge of those things than the people who lived at that time. Because of the people who lived at that time, who did not believe Noah’s Message, Jesus Christ says12: “And they knew not until the flood came and took them all away.” But those animals and birds and reptiles that went with Noah into the ark did know that a divine judgment was coming: they went with Noah into the ark and were saved. And his family was also saved, Noah’s family.
Now, let’s see what it continues to say:
“And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in (when everyone was inside, God closed the door).
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.”
And if we continue reading we will find the story of that flood there, which the rain lasted forty days, but the waters continued to be upon Earth for many days.
And now, let’s see, since God says, Christ says that this end time and the Coming of the Son of Man will be as in the days of Noah… In other words, the days of the Coming of the Son of Man in this end time, will be how? Like the days of Noah.
And now, look here what Christ says is going to happen. In Luke, chapter 13, verse 22 and on, it says:
“And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are.”
Here Jesus also shows us that the door will be shut at the Last Day, in the Coming of the Son of Man, which are days parallel to the days of Noah.
Also, in Matthew, chapter 25, verses 10 to 13, Jesus shows that the Door will also be shut; it says:
“And while they (the foolish virgins) went to buy (what were they going to buy?: oil), the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.”
And which are the ones that were prepared? The wise virgins, who had taken oil in their lamps. In other words, these are the people who had believed in Christ as our Savior, had washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and had received the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and therefore had been born again; and they had that new birth and then they belonged to the Mystical Body of Christ in the Last Day.
Because it is in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, where those who are prepared (the wise virgins) enter with Christ into the Marriage; and then the door will be shut and no one else will enter, after all the wise virgins have entered, all the elect of God, whose names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And the door was shut, as the door of the ark was shut, because God shut the door back then.
And the door will also be closed here, in these days which are like the days of Noah; and no one else will be able to enter through the Door, which is Christ, to receive salvation, no one else will be able to enter through that Door to wash their sins in the Blood of Christ, because Christ will already have left the Throne of Intercession in Heaven and He will no longer be making intercession in Heaven with His Blood. Therefore what Revelation 22, verse 11 says will be fulfilled:
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still (Why? Because there will no longer be Blood to cleanse people from the filth of sin): and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”
Now we can see that there will come a time when the door of mercy will close, and no one else will be able to enter through that door to become part of the Mystical Body of Christ; because the number of God’s elect will be completed, the number of God’s Family will be completed, and everyone will already be inside the House of God; and the door will be shut, and no one else will enter.
These are days as the days of Noah; so said Jesus Christ that the day when the Son of Man would reveal Himself would be.
This is the day when the manifestation of the Son of Man, operating the ministry of Jesus for a second time through His Angel Messenger, would be manifested; and thus we would be living in the days like those of Noah.
Notice how the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us on page 147 of the book of Quotations</em>; it says, verse 131013:
“Now, Jesus Himself said, ‘At the day when the Son of man is being revealed,’ in other words, ‘the Son of man, the ministry of Jesus Christ Hisself.’”
What is the manifestation of the Son of Man? It is the manifestation of the ministry of Jesus Christ in the Last Day; and when one speaks of the Son of Man one is speaking of the manifestation of God in a prophet. That is the manifestation of the Son of Man for the Last Day; although that man will not be the Lord Jesus Christ, but the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Whenever it is spoken of the Son of Man, one is speaking of God manifested in a prophet on this planet Earth; because “Son of Man” or “Son of Man” is the title of prophet.
And now, Son of Man, being the title of prophet, for the time of the First Coming of Christ we find that He used that title; and that is why when He spoke of Himself He said “the Son of Man”, and it was the manifestation of God in Him, in a prophet. And the manifestation of God, of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord back then, was the manifestation of the Son of Man, the Coming of the Son of Man.
And for the Last Day the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, of God in His Angel Messenger, will also be the manifestation of the Son of Man as in the days of Noah.
The Angel of Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only His prophet messenger to testify of all these things that must happen soon, in this end time. That Angel Messenger is the instrument of Christ for the manifestation of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in human flesh in that prophet messenger.
That is why John the apostle wanted to worship the Angel of Jesus Christ, but he told him not to do it14, because he is a prophet, a servant of God.
Now we have seen this mystery of the Son of Man being manifested, being fulfilled on this Earth in the Last Day.
Now, look what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us on page 22 and 23; it says15:
“The Son of man is now being revealed from heaven. ‘Will it come after while, Brother Branham?’ It is now. And I hope I won’t have to make this so personal of this own meeting, but that your spirit within you that’s give you by God, can read what I’m talking about. The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham, before the destruction. He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church. It’s being laughed at and scoffed at.”
This was the manifestation of Christ in the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church, the Reverend William Branham; it was the manifestation of Christ in him. Therefore, being a prophet, he was the manifestation of the Son of Man in mercy for those days. And they laughed and mocked him, he says. And now, watch what he says:
“The next time (that is, next time) He reveals Hisself, it’ll be in judgment on the world and the nations that’s forgot God and sinned their way of grace—their day of grace (that is, ‘and sinned their Day of Grace’: during the Dispensation of Grace)…”
Now, in this intertwining that there is between the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Dispensation of Grace, the Son of Man —which is Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant in His manifestation through His Angel Messenger— reveals Himself in the midst of His Church; but He comes as Judge of all the Earth; but there is an extension of mercy for the Church of Jesus Christ, until the last of God’s elect enters.
Enters where? To the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, enters through the Door, which is Christ. And then the Door will be shut and there will be no mercy for any person. And then the Son of Man will be revealing to the whole world the day of vengeance of our God, the divine judgment that is to come upon this Earth.
Now, we have seen that these days in which we are living would be as in the days of Noah, because these are the days in which the Son of Man would reveal Himself, He would manifest Himself according to the divine promise; in other words, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, would reveal Himself through His Angel Messenger in human flesh; but the Angel of Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ, he is only His instrument for this end time.
And now, with a universal judgment that happened thousands of years ago, God speaks to us today of what He will do in this end time.
And now notice how there was a place to enter to escape, and there was a door that would be shut back then, which also represents Christ, the Door of Salvation through which one enters, which will be closed when the last of God’s elect has entered.
We have reached the Last Day, the end time, the days like those of Noah.
Let’s be prepared inside the House of God, which is His Church; our lives consecrated to Christ, our sins confessed to Christ and washed with the Blood of Christ, awaiting our transformation and the resurrection of the dead in Christ to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.
When we are transformed, then we will see Jesus Christ in His body, which He resurrected glorified. In the meantime, we will see Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel Messenger giving testifying to us of all these things that must happen in this end time, and calling and gathering all of God’s elect.
It has been a privilege for me to be with you testifying to you of “A UNIVERSAL JUDGMENT THROUGH WHICH GOD TALKS TO US TODAY”, at this time in which we are living.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me as well, and may we soon all be transformed and taken to the House of our heavenly Father in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
“A UNIVERSAL JUDGMENT THROUGH WHICH GOD SPEAKS TO US TODAY.”
