God’s Fishermen at the Last Day

Good evening, fellow ministers in the Age of the Cornerstone. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to greet you, and to ask God for His blessings upon each one of you, and may God use you greatly in His Work at this Last Day; and thus, may the miraculous catch of fish of this Last Day take place.

For this reason, I want to read in Saint Matthew, chapter 13, verses 47 to 50, where Jesus Christ says:

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It, and thus, may He help us to be aware of this miraculous catch of fish pertaining to this end time.

Our subject for this occasion is: “GOD’S FISHERMEN AT THE LAST DAY.”

When Christ called His disciples to ministry, we find in Saint Matthew chapter 4, verse 19, that He said… Let’s read chapter 4, verses 18 to 20, so that we have a clear picture.

Christ was already baptized by John the Baptist,¹ He was filled with the Holy Spirit, and He had also already been apart in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights, during which He did not eat nor drink, in other words, He was fasting.² And now, starting His ministry, He says:

“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.”

Here we can see how Christ started to call His disciples; and when He called Peter and Andrew, He said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Now, in order to understand this mystery that Jesus speaks about: “I will make you fishers of men,” we have to understand what the ages are; and thus, understand that the Age of Pisces pertains to the ages or dispensation of Christianity.

And Christians, in the time of persecutions, when they hid in the catacombs, they drew fish as a symbol of Christianity; because Christianity is represented in the Age of Pisces.

And now, Christ, in the Age of Pisces, where the believers are represented in fish, Christ says to His disciples:

“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Notice this metaphor that Christ uses here, representing the elect in fish, which would be caught by the disciples of Jesus Christ and by all the messengers that He would send to call and gather His elect from stage to stage, from age to age.

The angel-messenger in each age, with the group of ministers of his age, has been in charge of the Work of catching God’s elect, those souls who have had their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world: taking them from the sea or the waters (which are the world, nations, peoples, and tongues), going with the net of the Gospel and catching those fish, which are God’s sons and daughters.

Now, at the end time, it tells us here that there will be a catch of fish; it says that the net that has been cast into the sea will be drawn, and the bad fish will be cast away, and the good fish will be gathered. It says (let’s read this parable again), chapter 13, verses 47 to 50:

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

So shall it be at the end of the world…”

At the end of the world, also in the parable of the wheat and the tares, Christ spoke saying that the harvest would be carried out, in other words, the reaping.³

We find in one of the three annual feasts that the Hebrew people had, where each person presented himself before God, we find that in the feast of weeks, at the end, the wheat had already been gathered.⁴

The firstfruits of the wheat are God’s sons and daughters; the firstfruits of the barley is our Lord Jesus Christ.

Among the Hebrew people, the harvest or reaping started with the barley.

And the first Son of God who was harvested was our Lord Jesus Christ; and He is represented in that sheaf which was taken from the barley, because the barley was the first thing that was harvested. That is why Jesus Christ is represented in that sheaf of the barley, which was offered on Resurrection or Easter Sunday.

Because it was after Passover had passed, meaning, after the fifteenth day (which was Passover) of the month of Aviv, then, the sixteenth day, they offered God the wave offering of the first of the firstfruits; and the firstfruits were the barley. The barley was harvested before the wheat.

And now we can see how this was already fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

And now, the wheat harvest comes afterwards, and at the end of the wheat harvest, everything that was harvested is presented before God; but we also have the firstfruits of the wheat, which are God’s elect.

Now, at the end time, something is going to happen, but we will leave that alone there.

We find in this parable that at the end time the harvest of the wheat will take place. The wheat represents all the children of God, and it represents all those who would come into the Divine Program.

And at the end time, Christ says that in order to carry out that harvest, He will send His Angels. He will send His Angels with the tool to reap. In Saint Matthew 24:31, He says that He will send His Angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet.

And in Revelation chapter 14, it tells us from verse 14 and on:

“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.”

Here we can see, in the Book of Revelation, the same thing that Christ spoke to us in Saint Matthew chapter 13, verses 30 to 43, about the reaping or harvest to be carried out at the end time, by whom? By the Angels of the Son of man, the Angels of Jesus Christ, sent at the Last Day.

This harvest is the same as this miraculous catch of fish that Christ said would be carried out at the end of the world, where the good would be gathered in vessels, and the bad would be cast away.

Now, in past times, those who worked to catch fish, sons and daughters of God:

• in the time of the apostles, they worked with the apostles;

• then those who worked in the first age, worked with Saint Paul the Apostle;

• those who worked in the second age, worked with the messenger Irenaeus, there in Europe;

• then in the third age with Martin, also in Europe;

• then in the fourth age with Columba, in Europe too;

• then in the fifth age with Luther, in Europe too;

• then in the sixth age with Wesley, in Europe too.

And from the territory where God would send that messenger, from there the Message would spread to other nations too, for the catch of God’s fish, of God’s sons and daughters.

• Then Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit went on to North America, where He sent Rev. William Branham for the Work of catching the fish of the seventh stage of the Gentile Church.

We find that along with each of these messengers, God also sent ministers who worked in this Work as fellow laborers in the great Work of the miraculous catch of fish of each age.

And now, for North America we can see who was the messenger that was in charge of God’s Work in the miraculous catch of fish of the seventh Gentile Church age. But that age already finished.

And now we are in the Age of the Cornerstone, at the Last Day, at the end of the world, for what? For the miraculous catch of fish of this end time, of the end of the world or century; for which Christ says that He will send His Angels.

The Angels are the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah: the ministry of Moses for the second time, and the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, for this miraculous Work of catching God’s elect pertaining to this end time.

Remember our Brother Branham in that vision where the Angel of God was teaching him how to fish? It was to catch God’s fish.⁵

And now, at the Last Day, we find that we will have the most glorious miraculous catch of fish of all; because it is the miraculous catch of the great fish, represented in one hundred and fifty-three fish that were caught when Christ had already resurrected and was with His disciples. And they caught such a big catch that—notice what it tells us in Saint John chapter 21… Chapter 21, verses 6 to 11, says the following:

“And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side,” (on the right side of what?) “of the ship, and ye shall find.”

Now notice, they had gone fishing at night, and they hadn’t caught anything; but now… Let’s read a little beforehand, so that we have a clear picture here; it says the following [verse 3]:

“Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.” (Notice, when the morning was coming, Jesus stood there, and they didn’t know it was Jesus.)

“Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.”

Now, one hundred and fifty-three fish, if they are little, fit in any little net; but if they are big fish, you need a big net and strong people to draw that net. And these fish were big.

These are the fish that the Angel spoke to our brother Branham about, and He was teaching him how to catch big fish; and here are those big fish that the Angel spoke to him about, which he wasn’t able to catch because he pulled the hook ahead of time.

But those big fish will be caught; and they represent sons and daughters of God from among the Gentiles, and we will also include the hundred and forty-four thousand there. But we have the elect of the Last Day from among the Gentiles, who are the best fish, who are the ones that will be changed; and those are the best, those are the biggest of all the Lord’s fish.

Now, one hundred and fifty-three doesn’t mean there are only one hundred and fifty-three elect; rather, since it is a symbolic number, in other words, that number: one hundred and fifty-three fish (which were one hundred and fifty-three actual fish), then come to represent those who will be fish at the Last Day under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, under the ministry of Moses and Elijah.

And where are the ones who will be working hand in hand with the ministries of Moses and Elijah in that miraculous catch of fish? Well, here we are!

We have seen who God’s Fishermen at the Last Day are: they are the Angels of the Son of man, with all those who will be working in that Work with the Angels of the Son of man, the ones who will be working with the ministries of Moses and Elijah; ministries that will be manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day.

Now, for this catch of fish, we must work according to the direction of the One who has the command to carry out that catch of fish.

Miguel, who was a fisherman, can’t say: “No, I know how to do this; I’m going to cast the net my way.” Well, you know something Miguel? If you cast it your way, you will be fishing, but not in this miraculous catch of fish.

—“No, I’m going to cast [the net] to England.”

—“Fine, go fish in England if you want.”

Another may say:

—“No, I’m going to cast [the net] to Africa.”

—“Go fish in Africa.”

—“Well, I know how to fish. I’m going to cast [the net] to Russia.”

—“Fine, go fish in Russia.”

I will continue fishing in Latin America and the Caribbean with all those whom God puts in my hand!

Miguel, where do you want to fish?

[Brother Miguel: In Latin America!]

I thank God because Miguel wants to fish with me in Latin America and the Caribbean. What about you? I thank God for each one of you.

Do you know something? They say that there are fish that are born in one place and then go to another place. Which fish are those, Julio? It’s salmon, right? I don’t know which other one. And there are also birds that have their eggs in one place, and after they hatch they go live somewhere else.

But do you know something? God’s seed from Africa, God has brought it here; God’s seed from Europe, is now in Latin America and the Caribbean too.

God’s seed that was once in other places and that brought forth the children of those ages, now, notice, because at the Last Day the harvest of the wheat (which is also the miraculous catch of God’s fish, of God’s elect), because it would be taking place in Latin America and the Caribbean, He brought that seed all the way to this territory.

It doesn’t matter how we have appeared here: it has been through these conquests of certain nations that our forefathers or ancestors were brought in one way or another for us to be born here. That is why we don’t complain about how we have appeared here, we don’t complain about the way our ancestors have come, although they came mistreated. But here we are; everything worked for good, it was for us to be here.

And now, the miraculous catch of fish of the Last Day is being carried out here, in Latin America and the Caribbean.

If you study the different miraculous catches of fish where Jesus Christ intervened, you will find that it all speaks of the gathering of God’s elect of the different times.

And now we get to carry out the catch of fish of this Last Day. And we thank God; because just as a miraculous catch of fish was carried out in the land of Israel, in Asia Minor, in Europe and in North America, at this Last Day it is being carried out in Latin America and the Caribbean.

And this is the only miraculous catch of fish left in the Divine Program; with this miraculous catch of fish, we will catch all of God’s elect among the Gentiles and also the Hebrew people.

This is the greatest and most glorious miraculous catch of fish of any time. And it is very important for us because we are working in this miraculous catch of fish under the direction of the ministry of Jesus Christ pertaining to this Last Day, the ministry of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifesting the ministries of His Angels, which are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, and the ministry of Jesus; because Jesus was the One who spoke the Word: “Cast the net on the right side.”

And now, we can see that by casting the net on the right side, the fish pertaining to the miraculous catch of fish of the Last Day are caught.

Now we can see that by casting the net, the Message that pertains to the Gospel of the Kingdom, every elect of the Last Day is gathered together, which are the fish of Jesus Christ of this Last Day.

We have seen who are God’s Fishermen at the Last Day, and we have seen who would be working with the Fishermen of the Last Day, with the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, with Moses and Elijah.

And where are the ones who would be working with Moses and Elijah, with the Two Olive Trees, in this miraculous catch of fish of the Last Day? Well, here we are, present at this Last Day, seeing this glorious catch of great fish. For these are the fish that will receive the transformation of our bodies while we are alive, and those who have departed will be raised in eternal bodies; and if any of our own have gone, they will return in the eternal body.

Now, where do you want to fish? I thank God for each one of you, whom God has put by my side for this Work of the miraculous catch of fish of this Last Day; and I’m glad that you are not complaining.

How many of you have ever fished? How many of you have fished using a hook, or a fish trap, or a cast net? Well, you know that when you are fishing, if someone comes along who doesn’t agree with what you are fishing or who is not one of the—among the group who are fishing, and he starts to get into the water, he scares the fish away; that is a hindrance.

Now, never be a hindrance in the Work of God in this miraculous catch of fish, never interrupt this miraculous catch of fish. Work in this miraculous catch of fish according to the Biblical instructions that God gives us for this Last Day.

Jesus Christ said [Revelation 22:16]:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

He would even testify to us about this miraculous catch of fish, so that we carry out this catch according to the Divine Order relevant to this time.

Don’t interrupt this beautiful miraculous catch of fish of this Last Day; we don’t want God to send you to fish somewhere else, nor do we want Him to take you away to rest.

How many of you would like to go to the sixth dimension to rest? There is no work over there, they are not working over there. They themselves said: “We don’t work here, nor eat, neither do we sleep.” This is what they said to the seventh angel-messenger when he visited them some years before his departure.⁶

And now, we are here in the Work of the catch of fish of the Last Day.

May God help us and allow us to completely understand the Work of the catch of fish, so that God uses us in this miraculous catch of fish, and not one of the fish written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world is missed.

When we say, “so that we don’t miss one,” that means: may they all be fish that are caught; first they are fish underwater and then they are fish that have been caught, because once they are inside, they are caught.

Now we can see that we need to love one another, and work in fellowship with one another, and there should be no arguments, nor jealousy, nor any of this among the fishermen.

God has put Miguel Bermúdez Marín by my side, who was a fisherman and knows about this; and God has put him here to help me in this Work, and so that he is always working with you, ministers, and you are well guided in the Work of this miraculous catch of fish in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Always be in agreement with Miguel in all this Work that is being carried out throughout all of Latin America and the Caribbean, so that we report to God that miraculous catch of fish that He has committed into our hands at this Last Day.

We are in a time in which we all have to be very united in Love Divine, so that this miraculous catch of fish is completely carried out. God has promised it and God will do it, God will fulfill it.

And we are the instruments that He will be using for that Work, those of you here in Haiti as well as the ministers in Venezuela, the ministers in Mexico (the Republic of Mexico), the ministers in the different countries of Latin America and the Caribbean; we are all in this Work of the miraculous catch of fish pertaining to this Last Day.

We need to have the net, where? On the right side. When we talk about the right, that is referring to the Divine power: the right hand of God.

Now, we can see that the net placed on the right side, the right hand, is the net placed according to God’s Throne.

Jesus Christ sat, where? On the Throne of God, the right hand of God. And that is why the net is cast on the right hand at this Last Day; and the net falls in Latin America and the Caribbean, for the great miraculous catch of the souls of God whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world.

It has been a great privilege to testify to you about this miraculous catch of fish of the Last Day, and to make known to you who are God’s Fishermen at the Last Day; and to be able to see which are the ministries sent by Christ for this Last Day, which will be in charge of this Work of the miraculous catch of fish of the Last Day, just like Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in the messenger of each age was in charge of the Work of the miraculous catch of fish in each age.

And at the Last Day, He says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

That is the Messenger through whom Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit carrying out this miraculous catch of fish, and the ministers of this Last Day will be working hand in hand together with him. That means working hand in hand with our Lord Jesus Christ manifested through His Angel-Messenger in the miraculous catch of fish of the Last Day.

Where are God’s fishermen at the Last Day? Here we are, present, working in this miraculous catch of fish.

May God bless you, may God keep you; and continue having a night filled with the blessings of Christ.

I thank you for everything you have done for our stay here, and for your kindness, love, and affection that you have expressed towards us these days. And I ask God to bless you greatly, to prosper you spiritually and materially too; and may there be an abundance of spiritual Food and also material abundance, financially, for all of you ministers and your congregations; and may God use you greatly in His Work, and here in Haiti, may this miraculous catch of fish promised in the Scripture be carried out. And likewise, in all the Latin American and Caribbean countries.

And may God use all of us greatly at this Last Day in this miraculous catch of fish. I will always be with you, working in this miraculous catch of fish. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Well, may God continue to bless you all, and may God keep you.

And I leave with us again Miguel Bermúdez Marín to continue and conclude our participation tonight, in this beautiful ministers’ meeting that we are having on this occasion.

May God bless you, and good night.

“GOD’S FISHERMEN A THE LAST DAY.”
