Jesus Christ Delivering What the Enemy Bound

Good evening, beloved friends, fellow ministers, and congregations present; and also in other nations connected through the Amazonas satellite or internet. May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant be upon you all.

Tonight, we will read a very well-known passage in Saint Luke chapter 13, verses 10 to 17, which speaks to us about a very important moment in the ministry of Christ our Savior. Chapter 13, verse 10 and on of Saint Luke, says:

“And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.”

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

“JESUS CHRIST DELIVERING WHAT THE ENEMY BOUND.”

Just as this woman had been bound by the devil for eighteen years with that disease, likewise, the human race, ever since the human being fell in the garden of Eden when they sinned, was bound by the devil in the kingdom of darkness.

The devil took over the kingdom that God had given to Adam; and that is why later on the children of Adam and Eve didn’t come according to the Kingdom of God but according to the kingdom of darkness. According to the Kingdom of God, it’s with Eternal Life; according to the kingdom of darkness: with temporary life, and with a spirit of the world in God’s permissive will, and with a body of the world: temporary, mortal, corruptible.

But the Kingdom of God, according to the Divine will, is with a Spirit of Heaven, of God, a theophanic, heavenly spirit; and that is what Christ gives the believers: the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, and then they obtain Eternal Life: upon believing in Christ and receiving Him… receiving Him as Savior, being baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptizing them with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and bringing forth the new birth in them.

And thus, God’s sons and daughters, the souls of God, which are the Father’s sheep that were given to Christ to seek them and give them Eternal Life…:

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save,” (what?) “that which was lost.” Saint Luke, chapter 19, verse 10, and Saint Matthew, chapter 18, verses 11 to 14.

And He came to seek those souls of God called the Father’s sheep given to Christ; of whom Christ says that no man will pluck those sheep out of His hand. And it says:

“(The) Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” (Saint John, chapter 10, verses 27 to 30).

And now, those sheep, those people were the ones Adam and Eve had to bring to existence, to life, in the perfect will of God; but because they sinned, then they have been bringing forth people, a race without Eternal Life to Earth, mixed with Cain’s evil seed, which is the Serpent’s seed; as simple as that. And that is why so many problems have been taking place on Earth throughout the time, ages, generations, and dispensations that have passed.

The Scripture says that the wages of sin is death;¹ that is why the wages of sin of Adam and Eve back then was death.

God had said to Adam not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, because the day he did, he would die.² Adam then showed it to Eve. And then Satan, through the old serpent which is the devil and Satan, who was the prince of that generation of the Serpent’s race or seed, through which the devil spoke to Eve…³

It is not strange for an animal to speak. Parakeets speak, parrots speak, and even Balaam’s mule spoke.⁴ And the Serpent’s race spoke at that time, it was the missing link between the animal race and the human race or Adam; but it lost that blessing, that privilege, when it made Eve sin, and consequently Adam later on.

And now, we find that there came a mortal, corruptible, and temporary race, coming from Adam and Eve, who lost physical Eternal Life by sinning. They had already been warned that they would die; but the Scripture says that Adam lived about 930 years.⁵

Some people ask themselves: “But, what happened? God said they were going to die, and they didn’t die.” They had Eternal Life and died to Eternal Life, and they only had temporary life left, which ran out: for Adam at 930 years old.

And that is the inheritance of life that Adam and Eve left their seed: temporary life, which we have also inherited, and thank God for it, for that life that gives us the right to pass to Eternal Life through the second Adam, who is Christ. Therefore, it is a bridge for us, to pass from temporary life to Eternal Life.

The first Adam gave us as an inheritance, left us as an inheritance: temporary life; he left us something. For he couldn’t leave us Eternal Life because he lost it, and then the Kingdom that God had given Adam went to the hands of the enemy of God, the devil; and that is why Christ calls the devil “the prince of this world,”⁶ because the Kingdom passed to the hands of the devil, who has been ruling, dominating the human race, and he has subjected it to bondage, he has subjected it to wars, diseases, all kinds of problems.

But someday, physically, in the physical realm, Christ the Messiah will take the Kingdom; because the Kingdom will be given to the people of the saints,⁷ and Christ is the Prince, the King of that Kingdom.

The Archangel Gabriel rightly said to the virgin Mary in chapter 1, verses 30 to 36, of Saint Luke, when He tells her that she will have a Son and He will be called “the Son of God,” “the Son of the Highest,” and God will give Him the Throne of His Father David, and He will reign over the House of Jacob forever, and His Kingdom shall have no end.

That will be the restoration of God’s Kingdom on Earth, which the disciples ask Christ about in the Book of Acts, chapter 1, verse 1 to 9; before Christ goes up to Heaven, they ask Him: “Lord…” Remember that He talked to them a lot about the Kingdom of God, and they thought the Kingdom was going to be restored at that time.

And they ask Christ: “Lord, will You at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” He says to them: “It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power. Tarry in Jerusalem, until you are endued with power from on high; for not many days from now you will be filled with the Holy Spirit, you will receive power from on high; and you will be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, in Judea, and in all the Earth, (in the whole territory of Israel; and therefore, in the whole world).”

And that is why in Saint Mark chapter 16, verses 15 to 16, it says:

“Go into all the world,” (and that was when He was already risen), “and preach the Gospel to every creature.”

Every person must hear the preaching of the Gospel, listen to the preaching where it shows us the deliverance for every human being, to be loosed from the kingdom of darkness, from the power of the wicked one and be placed in the Kingdom of Christ; for Christ tells us: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” And Christ is the Truth. “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no man comes unto the Father, but by Me.” Saint John, chapter 14, verse 6.

And in chapter 8 of Saint John, Christ tells us (verse *32): “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Only through Christ, the Deliverer, can a person be delivered from the kingdom of darkness.

That is why when He asks His disciples in chapter 16 of Saint Matthew: “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Some begin to say: “Some say that You are Elijah, others say that You are John the Baptist; others say that You are one of the prophets.” In other words, they considered Him a prophet, but they didn’t know which of the prophets He was, they thought one of the prophets had risen and He was among them.

Even when the only child of the widow of Nain was raised, many said with fear, they were filled with fear and said: “God has visited His people, for a great prophet has risen up among us.”⁸

It’s because the way that God visits His people is through a veil of flesh, through a prophet. “For the Lord will do nothing without first revealing His secrets (to whom?) to His servants the prophets.” Amos chapter 3, verse 7.

And that is also why Christ also said that He would send wise men, He would send prophets;⁹ and Saint Paul the Apostle also says in Ephesians chapter 4, verse 11, that God has put apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in His Church.”

And now, after His disciples said what people thought, He asked them directly: “But whom do you say that I am?” And Peter, who had revelation from Heaven, according to what Christ says, that flesh and blood had not revealed it to him, “but My Father which is in Heaven,” it says:

“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;” (in other words, upon the revelation), “and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.”

In other words, the revelation of who Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah was, that was for His believers.

That mystery of the First Coming of Christ, notice, there He is asking His disciples not to make known that He is the Messiah, that He is the Christ, Jesus the Christ.

And now, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which would be founded by Christ, the keys of hell would be there, because Christ said: “I have the keys of hell and of death.”¹⁰

And now, upon this rock the Church of Christ will be built, upon the revelation of Christ, upon the revelation of whom Christ is, upon the Divine revelation; and therefore: “Whatever you bind on Earth…” That power to bind and loose will be in the Church.

It was in Christ, it was in Peter, it was in the different apostles, it was in every messenger; it has been among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, loosing all the sheep of the Lord from the power of the wicked one and from darkness and setting them free in the Kingdom of Christ.

In Isaiah chapter 61, which Christ takes the words from in Saint Luke chapter 4, verse 16 and on, it speaks to us about that deliverance. It says… Saint Luke chapter 4, verse 16 and on says:

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read,” (in other words, it was His custom to be in the synagogue on the Sabbath).

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

And now, He comes to deliver those who are bruised, to deliver those who are imprisoned, bound by the devil. And:

“To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Under the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, the Acceptable Year of the Lord is being preached, during the Dispensation of Grace.

That is what is proclaimed in the preaching of the Gospel of Christ; where every human being who comes repented to the Feet of Christ, believing in Christ because the faith of Christ was born in his soul upon hearing the preaching of the Gospel, he comes testifying of his faith in Christ, and of the faith of Christ in his soul, and he comes receiving Christ as his only and sufficient Savior.

Christ receives him, forgives him, and with His Blood He cleanses him from all sin, he is baptized in water in His Name, Christ baptizes him with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and brings forth the new birth in the person; and thus, he has been born of Water and of the Spirit into the Kingdom of Christ, according to the words of Christ to Nicodemus in Saint John chapter 3, verse 1 to 6, where He says to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”

So, whoever is born of the Water of the Gospel of Christ and of the Holy Spirit, well, he has entered into the Kingdom of God. That is the way to enter into the Kingdom of God, according to the words of Christ, also confirmed by the different apostles of Christ, like Saint Peter and Saint Paul, who are the main apostles of the Lord.

And now, two thousand years have passed from Christ until now, and the Door of the Dispensation of Grace is still open; the opportunity to obtain salvation and Eternal Life is still open for all human beings, until the very last elect, until the last sheep of the Lord, until the last person written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life, has come into the mystical Body of Christ.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ began among the Hebrews; then It went to the first Church age among the Gentiles in Asia Minor, and the Spirit of God was there in Saint Paul, with the Divine revelation for the people that would come into that first age among the Gentiles. Then the Holy Spirit went on to Europe, where He had five stages or ages in five messengers that were sent by God to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ:

Paul in Asia Minor, Irenaeus in France, Martin in France and Hungary, Columba in Ireland and Scotland, Luther in Germany, Wesley in England, and Rev. William Branham in North America; and that covers the seven stages or ages of the Church among the Gentiles.

In North America, in the seventh Church age, the Holy Spirit was manifesting Himself through Rev. William Branham; therefore, Rev. William Branham is the greatest man that has ever set foot on North America, there is none greater.

Just like John the Baptist, as Christ says, was the greatest; He says: “Among those that are born of women there was not a greater than John,” but He says: “but he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than John.”¹¹ Why? Because John belongs to the Dispensation of the Law, the dispensation of God’s servants, the Hebrew people; and the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, who is part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, belongs to the people that are God’s sons and daughters.

And what is greater to the Heavenly Father: a son or a servant? A son; therefore, God’s sons and daughters are the heirs and joint-heirs with Christ of the eternal inheritance.

And now, we ask ourselves: Is there anything else for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ after the seventh Church age?

Even Rev. William Branham says there was the stage of the neck;¹² then comes a stage of the mouth or tongue as well; he also speaks about a stage of the eyes: seers; and he also speaks about a stage of the mind, which is the last thing in the Divine Program: the Mind of Christ in His Church.

And now, if we read a passage here in the Book of Quotations, page 37, at the end of verse 311, it says [60-0522E “Adoption #4,” page 10, paragraph 36]:

“[36] Look at the Lutheran church under justification, coming just so freshly from Catholicism, look at it moving. Then look at Wesley coming a little closer, into sanctification, weaving into the Scriptures. Look at right in between, the Wesley. Then the next thing come in was the Pentecostal age,” (that is, the seventh age). “And the Pentecostal age with the restoration of the gifts, the spiritual gifts. Now, look at the age coming now right up to the Headstone.”

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said that; he foreruns the Second Coming of Christ, the age in which the Second Coming of Christ will be fulfilled.

As it was in the time of John the Baptist: he was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, he was the messenger of the seventh age of the Hebrew Church under the Law; and then Jesus appeared, and He was not from the seventh age of the Hebrew Church.

John was the messenger for that age; but Christ: the Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone; that is why the messenger himself is also the Cornerstone, the Stone that the builders rejected.¹³

And in His Second Coming, It will be the same Stone, the Stone that the builders will reject, the Stone that is announced by the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; and the Cornerstone must come, the Stone cut out without hands which will smite the image in the feet of iron and clay, in Daniel, chapter 2, verses 30 to 45, for it must come in a Cornerstone Age.

It cannot come in a Laodicean age, it cannot come in a seventh age—or sixth age of Wesley, or fifth age of Luther. It always goes up, and the Church is always being called by the Holy Spirit through the messenger to go up from one age to another age.

Remember that the Church is represented in the ladder that Jacob saw in chapter 28, verses 11 to 22 of Genesis; which Christ also speaks about, or of which Christ also says in Saint John chapter 1, verse 51: “And you will see the Son of man—and you will see the angels of God descending upon the Son of man,” Christ says.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and Christ, represented in that ladder with angels ascending and descending. The believers in Christ ascending on that Ladder, which is Christ in His Church. There’s the ladder.

It’s like the ladder that was put up in the story or drama of Romeo and Juliet, where he took the bride through a ladder.¹⁴

Notice, many people didn’t understand that through that Ladder, the Church goes up from age to age, until She reaches the top part, from where She will be raptured—changed and raptured.

Where were Christ and the Old Testament saints who rose with Christ raptured from? They didn’t go from the seventh age of the Hebrew Church under the Law, under the ministry of John the Baptist, but under the time of Jesus resurrected, with the Old Testament saints; and from that stage or age they were taken with Christ to Heaven; and where Psalm 24 was fulfilled, where they go up and say: “Open up, oh everlasting doors, [lift up] your heads, and the King of Glory will come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord, the Mighty One, He is the King of Glory;” and so on.

And if we say it the right way: Yeshua or Jesus Christ, because that is the Name. Although they interpreted or translated it as “the Lord,” but that is YHWH, according to Exodus, chapter 3, verses 13 to 16, the Name that was revealed to Moses.

And now, just as the rapture… the resurrection and rapture, was in the Age of the Cornerstone of Christ, of the Coming of the Messiah… of the One that John foreran, and of the One whom John said when they asked John, they told him: “Look, the One to whom you bore witness, now more people follow Him, more people come to Him than to you, and He baptizes more people than you.” John tells them: “A man can receive nothing of himself, except it be given to him from God.” In other words: “What He is doing is being given to Him by God, it is God through Him. He must increase, and I must decrease.”¹⁵

And that is the same thing Rev. William Branham says in the Book An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages and in The Revelation Of The Seven Seals too. And if you search for it, you will find that he spoke about that around pages 552 and 558 [in English].¹⁶

Now, when John the Baptist introduces Christ, in Saint John chapter 1, verses 28, or 29 to 36, and he says: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world,” he introduces Him as the Sacrifice for sin; because in order for Him to take away sin, the Sacrifice must be carried out. He introduces Christ to die as an Atonement for sin.

And then, later on, another day—the next day, he sees Jesus again, who was among those who were hearing His Message, and again he says: “Behold the Lamb of God.” And two of the disciples of [John] hear him, and follow Jesus.¹⁷

Anyone may have thought: “They are doing the wrong thing by following Jesus, we don’t even know Him.” But John said that was the Lamb of God, and he came to prepare the way for Him, forerunning the Coming of that Person who was among them, and he identified Him and said that he saw the Holy Spirit descend upon Him like a dove; and the One who sent him to baptize, told him: “Upon whom you see the Holy Spirit descending upon Him like a dove, the same is He, that is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and Fire.”¹⁸ And John said: “He is the One who comes after me, who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire.”

John’s followers wouldn’t be baptized with the Holy Spirit and Fire. John said: “I baptize you with water unto repentance, but the One who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire is He who comes after me.”

And therefore, He will bring forth that inner transformation, the new birth; that first part of redemption, that first part of the entrance into the Kingdom of God, which is in the spiritual realm; and the Lord Himself will carry out the second part in His Coming at the Last Day: the physical transformation, which will be for those who are there and receive the Lord in His Coming; because He is the One who will change them, according to the Scripture.

He is the One of whom Saint Paul says in Philippians, chapter 3, verses 20 to 21:

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”

Just as John the Baptist wasn’t the one who baptized with the Holy Spirit and Fire, he only baptized in water unto repentance; but the One who baptized with the Holy Spirit and Fire those who were baptized in His Name, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, well, that was—is Jesus Christ.

The day of Pentecost He began baptizing and has continued baptizing all those who have heard the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, have believed, the faith of Christ has been born in their soul, and they have made public testimony of their faith in Christ, and they have been baptized in water in His Name. And thus, millions of human beings have been entering into the Kingdom of God, being loosed from the bond under which the devil put the human race when the human race fell in the garden of Eden.

And now, let’s see what Saint Paul tells us; in Colossians, chapter 1, verse 12 and on, he says:

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

Now, notice, Christ has loosed us from the kingdom of darkness; He has delivered us, set us free, and He has put us (where?) in the Kingdom of God, which is the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of the Son of God. “And has translated us into the Kingdom of his dear Son;” that is what God has done through Christ.

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is the Kingdom in which millions of human beings have been being born, who have received Christ as their only and sufficient Savior; and they continue to enter into the Kingdom of God that same way that has been carried out since the day of Pentecost until now.

And there is still room; because in the parable of the great supper that the master of the house prepared for his son… He sent his servants to call the bidden, and the bidden didn’t want to come in (meaning, the Hebrew people); and then he sent them to search every place, to search for the maimed, the lame, every type of person, and put them in the House of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And the servant went, which is the Holy Spirit through the messengers and the preachers, and then the servant returned and said: “It is done as You have said, and yet there is room in the House.”¹⁹

Now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, during the ages, has been in the stage of the Holy Place; because the Church is a spiritual Temple that has three parts, like the tabernacle Moses built and the temple Solomon built and the heavenly Temple of God; and like the human being, who is a temple for God, he has three parts: an outer court, which is the body; a spirit, which is the holy place; and a soul, which is the most holy place.

And the spiritual Temple: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, has an Outer Court, which is from Adam to Christ, for they belong to the people of God; and then It has a Holy Place, which is from the day of Pentecost until now.

That is why the death of Christ pertains to the Outer Court; in the outer court was where the sacrifice was carried out. And then, since the day of Pentecost, they entered into the Holy Place, where there is the candlestick with its seven burning lamps, which pertains to the seven ages of the Church with the seven angel-messengers, on fire with the Holy Spirit, enlightening all those who enter there.

But after the seven ages of the Holy Place is the Most Holy Place, which pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone; and that is the age that has the great blessings for the Coming of the Lord.

• When God came in the dedication of the temple or tabernacle Moses built, then where did He position Himself? In the most holy place, on the ark of the covenant, on the mercy seat, between the two cherubims of gold.

• And when Solomon dedicated the temple: also on the mercy seat; because that is God’s throne in the earthly temple.

• And in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: well, it’s in the Age of the Cornerstone.

That is why God’s full manifestation and the Coming of the Lord is for the Age of the Cornerstone, for it wasn’t in past ages; and if it wasn’t in past ages, well, we must look up, where Rev. William Branham tells us to look up.

And that is the Age of the physical Adoption, the age to be physically adopted; and the physical adoption will be the adoption of the body, in other words, the redemption of the body: the resurrection of the dead in Christ in glorified bodies and the transformation of us who are alive.

And the One who comes after the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ will be the One who will do that work. That is why we are waiting for (what?) Christ from Heaven, to finish His Work of Intercession, come to His Church with the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals open, according to Revelation chapter 10, and carry out the redemption of the body, which for the dead in Christ is the resurrection in eternal, immortal, young, and glorified bodies like the body of Christ; and the transformation of us who are alive.

And now, let’s see what he says… Rev. William Branham says in the Book of The Seals, page (which page had I said? [Brother Miguel: 552; page 552.] Here we have it)… to have a clear picture of what will be happening. Paragraph 325 of page 552, says:

“325 Now, when that gets on tape…”

A bit further down, it says:

“326 I’m only telling you what I seen and what has been told to me. And now you—you do whatever you want to. I don’t know who is going to…what’s going to take place. I do not know. I just know that those Seven Thunders holds that mystery. The Heavens was quiet. Everybody understand? [Congregation says, ‘Amen.’—Ed.] It may be time, it may be the hour now, that this great person that we’re expecting to rise on the scene may arise on the scene.

327 Maybe this ministry, that I have tried to take people back to the Word, has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you, for good. There won’t be two of us here the same time.” (In other words, the forerunner and the one forerun won’t be present. But if they were, let’s see). “See? If it is,” (If they were, as it was in the time of John the Baptist), “he’ll increase; I’ll decrease.”

That was what the forerunner said.

Therefore, as it happened in the time of John and Jesus, that is how it is appointed to happen at the end time; for, if there is a forerunner, there must be a forerun.

And if there was a forerunner back then, who baptized in water unto repentance and prepared the people for the Coming of the Lord… and then the one who would come, who would be greater than the forerunner, whom John said was greater and whose shoe’s latchet he was not worthy to unloose… he said: “He is the One who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire. He is the One who will gather the wheat into the Garner.”

Therefore, He is the One who is promised to come to His Church at the Last Day for our transformation, for which He will give us the faith to be changed, He will reveal His Coming to us, He will reveal Himself to His Church, He will fulfill the promise of the Third Pull, He will fulfill the promise of the Tent Vision; He will be in the Tent Vision fulfilling what He said He would do; for what He said He would do, He said through Rev. William Branham.

What it was said will happen in the Tent Vision, will be done by Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven.

But remember that He has always had human beings through whom He has worked, because God’s partner is the human being; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is Christ’s helpmate, to work with Christ in God’s Program, in the Program that Christ would be carrying out.

That is why all the Work of Christ through the different stages has been, where? In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is how it will be in our time.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ knows what has to be done, according to what has been promised; and therefore, She has to work in the Divine project pertaining to the end time.

Among Her, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be seen; for this reason, well, we will be working in that Divine project, so that it becomes a reality.

Because the Tent Vision won’t become a reality unless the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ works on that project wholeheartedly, out of Love Divine, out of love for Christ; because it is a project that is promised to be carried out among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When Moses received the order of the construction of the temple or tabernacle, he wasn’t going to tell the Egyptians to come build the temple or tabernacle; the people were the ones he told, because that is how God showed him: to ask for voluntary offerings for the construction of the tabernacle.²⁰

Moses and the people were the ones who had to build that tabernacle where the Lord would come and dwell among the Hebrew people; a type and figure of the Coming of Christ to His physical or spiritual temple; a type and figure of the Coming of Christ to His Church at the Last Day, to dwell in all His fullness among His Church, as He did among the Hebrew people, and as He dwells in all His fullness in His human Temple called Jesus.

That is also how it was in the tabernacle or temple that King Solomon built: the people of God, under the Dispensation of the Law, were the ones who had to work, give offerings,²¹ and build that temple, those people led by King Solomon; and that is how it happened.

At the Last Day, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be working on that Divine project. It is a project established by God for the Last Day, and it is a project in which—when it is completely fulfilled—the Third Pull will be manifested; therefore, the entire Church of the Lord Jesus Christ depends on the fulfillment of that Vision.

And not only the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because the Third Pull isn’t only for the Church-Bride; Rev. William Branham said the Third Pull is to the Bride, to the foolish virgins, and to the total lost, to the world;²² and of course, also to the Hebrew people; because when the Jews see Christ coming for His Church, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for.”

So, that is the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, Christ, the Holy Spirit, in Revelation chapter 10, verse 1 and on; and He comes with the Title Deed, and He is going to give It to a man; just as He typified it in John the Apostle receiving the Title Deed, and receiving the order to prophecy before many peoples, nations, and tongues.

And at the Last Day, the One who prophesies before many peoples, nations, and tongues is the Holy Spirit through the manifestation of the ministry of the Two Olive Trees. As simple as that.

He is also the Angel who comes with the Seal of the living God, with the Holy Spirit, with the Bright and Morning Star, which is the Holy Spirit, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, according to Revelation chapter 7; and chapter 14 of Revelation, where we already find them with the Lamb on Mount Zion, with the Seal of God, with the Name of God in their foreheads and the Name of the Lamb.

Those 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe, will have all that Divine revelation. And thus, the representation of the twelve tribes of Israel in those 144,000 will be in fulfillment.

They will be the servants who will serve the Church in the Millennial Kingdom; they are not the Bride. They will have to go through the Great Tribulation, but they will rise at the end of the Great Tribulation to be in the Kingdom of the Messiah.

There are many things to be fulfilled in the Divine Program at this end time; and they will all be fulfilled in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Adoption, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.

That is why we must not look down: not [look] at the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh age; we must look up, at the Age of the Adoption, the Age of the Cornerstone, the age where Christ will physically unbind all His children, all the believers in Him, all the members of His Church; He will physically unbind them by raising them in glorified bodies and transforming the living.

And then we will be free, loosed; we will be in the Kingdom of the Messiah, in the Kingdom of Christ. And we will be in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb for three and a half years, enjoying that great heavenly feast, while the Earth will be going through the judgments of the Great Tribulation; and then we will go back to Earth with Christ, but in glorified and eternal bodies, for the establishment of the Kingdom of the Messiah.

We have to know the difference there is between the Coming of the Lord to His Church before the Great Tribulation and the Coming of the Lord after the Great Tribulation, who comes from Heaven with His Church glorified, changed, for the establishment of the Kingdom of the Messiah; which will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, where Christ and His Church will be the King and Queen, reigning over the Hebrew people and over all of mankind; where I will also be beside the Lord. And who else? Each one of you too.

At this end time, those who are going to be changed will see and know the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His Church; and they will believe, and they will follow the fulfillment of that prophecy; and they will see Christ veiled and revealed among His Church, fulfilling what He has promised to His Church at the Last Day, and giving them the faith to be changed and raptured; in other words, giving them the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of the Lord’s Coming to His Church, which is the greatest mystery, which Christ said that not even the angels in Heaven knew.²³

But it will be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, especially in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; because He will also be there in the fulfillment of His Coming to His Church, once He fulfills His Work of Intercession in Heaven, leaves the Throne of Intercession once He has redeemed the very last one with His Blood, and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the King of kings and Lord of lords; takes the Title Deed from the right hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne, opens It in Heaven, and carries out His Claiming Work; He claims everything He has redeemed in His precious Blood.

He claims me, and who else? And each one of you. He claims us and puts us in His Kingdom with a glorified and eternal body, to live for all eternity.

“JESUS CHRIST DELIVERING WHAT THE ENEMY BOUND.”

And now, we have seen how He delivers, looses, in the spiritual realm, and puts them in His Kingdom.

And how is He going to physically unbind us? By giving us the transformation, changing our bodies: from mortal bodies to immortal, eternal, glorified bodies like the glorified body He has; and by raising the dead in glorified bodies.

That will be the physical redemption that the Scripture speaks about, which is the redemption of the body, the adoption of God’s sons and daughters, with Eternal Life, in eternal and glorified bodies; the redemption that all of creation cries out for.²⁴

May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you, and may He help us to be ready for our transformation.

Remember that the ones who receive the new birth are those who receive Christ, because they see that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, He is the Sacrifice of Atonement for sins, He is the Messiah in His First Coming; those are the ones who would be baptized with the Holy Spirit and Fire and would obtain the new birth.

And then the ones who will receive the physical transformation will be those who will see the Coming of the Lord to His Church. As simple as that. And that is for the Last Day or seventh millennium from Adam until now; a millennium that has already begun according to the Gregorian calendar.

The ones who are waiting for the Coming of the Lord and see Him in His Coming, receive Him, will be the ones who will be changed; which the Message of the forerunner prepares us for, because It tells us what His Coming will be like, It tells us in which stage of the Church it will be, and gives us countless details.

For example, the Former Rain was in the East, the Latter Rain: in the West.

The Message of the Gospel of Grace began in the East and runs all the way to the West; and the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Latter Rain, is in the West, and It will also go on to the East, to the Middle East, to the land of Israel.

The First Coming of Christ was for the East, for the people who were under the Covenant of the Law, which was given to them on Mount Sinai; and the Second Coming is for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will be in Its final stage, in the West; because the final stage pertains to the continent of the Americas.

Both the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone belong to the continent of the Americas; one part belongs to the Northern part of the continent of the Americas, and the other to Latin America and the Caribbean. As simple as that.

In other words, we cannot lose sight of the journey of the Holy Spirit among His Church throughout time: from the land of Israel to Asia Minor, from Asia Minor to Europe, from Europe to North America, and from North America to Latin America and the Caribbean. And then from there, He will return to the Hebrew people. As simple as that.

May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me.

Because the Door of Mercy has not been closed yet. In the parable of the ten virgins, of Saint Matthew chapter 25, verses 10 to 13, it closes at a certain time:

“At midnight there was a cry made: Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!” That is the Message that will forerun the Second Coming of Christ, announcing, forerunning the Coming of the Lord.

And then all the virgins rose, the foolish asked the wise for Oil, they went to get Oil (because the wise virgins didn’t give them any); and while they went to buy Oil, the Bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with Him to the Marriage: they went in with Christ to the Marriage, and the Door was shut.

The Door closes in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Door closes at the Last Day.

In Saint Luke chapter 13 also, verses 25 to 27, it says: “Once the Master of the House has risen up, and shut the door, then you will begin to say: Lord, Lord, open unto us; He will say: I know you not whence ye are.”

But the Door of Mercy, of Grace in the Kingdom of Christ, is still open to all those who hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, the faith of Christ is born in their soul, and they make public testimony of their faith in Christ, receiving Him as their only and sufficient Savior.

May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon you all.

Goodnight.
