Good afternoon, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior, those who are present and also those who are in other nations. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to share these moments of fellowship with you, around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
Saint Paul the apostle says in Hebrews, chapter 10, verses 35 to 39:
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
May God bless us and allow us to understand His Word. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
“MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED,” until they obtain what God has promised.
We have to remain steadfast, persevering, knowing that God will fulfill what He has promised, and believing what He has promised and working in the entire Divine Program, so that what He has promised becomes a reality.
Always, in every promise of God, the human being is a partner to God, that is what God has done regarding the human being.
We notice when God promised to Abraham, in chapter 15 of Genesis, from verse 12 to 19, that his seed would live in a strange land and would serve them there for 400 years, but that later on God would deliver them with a mighty hand, and in the fourth generation they would return to the land where Abraham was living, which is the land promised to Israel, which was then in bondage there in Egypt.
Now, we can see that, for example, when God told Abraham that his seed would be like the sand of the sea, and on one occasion He also told him it would be like the stars of the heaven,1 Abraham would have a part for the fulfillment of that promise: the physical part; therefore, he would have children, and the children would multiply; but the blessing would be given by God, therefore, God would be the One who would be doing that Work.
And now, some people may think: “But God said they would be like the stars of heaven, and in Israel there are about six million Jews, and then in the world, aside from that, there are some six or seven million more, or ten million more; which in total is about fourteen million. But, where are they as the stars of heaven?” The Scripture says that all believers in Christ (Galatians, chapter 3) are children of Abraham. Therefore, all the believers in Christ from all the ages, which are millions, there we have Abraham’s seed as the stars of heaven. It is the heavenly seed, it is the large group.
And now, we also find that, since they are as like stars of heaven: they are represented in the stars, and Christ Himself says He is the Bright and Morning Star, the Morning-Star Man; but notice, in this typology, let’s see something very important here in Job: Job 38, around there, or 37. Let’s see what it tells us: 38, verse 6 to 7, says… it is God asking Job:
“Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?” (meaning, the foundation of the Earth).
Let’s see a little bit before: verse 1 and on (so we can see God speaking with Job), chapter 38, of Job, says:
“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me,” (think about it: God asking and the person answering).
“Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?” (A very difficult question) “declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
When God was creating the Earth, notice, all the sons of God were shouting for joy in Heaven.
And now, we find that in the Scripture it tells us about star-men or man-stars, star-people. That’s why in chapter 24 of Numbers, here is Balaam…chapter 24, verse 17, says… and he is prophesying. Let’s read a little bit before: starting from verse 15, it says:
“And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
And when he looked on Amalek,” (that is, king Amalek), “he took up his parable, and said,” (or, rather, seeing the people of Amalek), “Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.”
And he began to see, to look at other peoples, other nations that were in sight, because he was on a mountain, and he began to prophesy over them. It goes on to say:
“And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.”
And now, here is this passage that we read, it says: “There shall come a Star out of Jacob,” and this is speaking about the Messiah, who is the Bright and Morning Star. That is why when the wise men arrived in Jerusalem, because in the sky they had seen the sign of the Coming of the Messiah, the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man, they went into the city of Jerusalem asking: “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east.”2
They were living east of Israel, around the land of Ur, Ur of the Chaldeans, that area of Babylon, around Ur of the Chaldeans; and they saw – looking to Israel… looking from the land of Ur of the Chaldeans to Israel, they were looking from East to West, they looked West upon looking to Israel; and they saw the sign in the sky because they were scholars of the stars, and they knew that everything that God will do on Earth, He shows it in the sky first.
And the stars, the sun and the moon, all of that is set as a sign of the times and all these things that happen on Earth. And not only to count the time in minutes, hours, days, months, and years, but also to show the stages as well, the seasons; for example, the wintertime and the summertime, the full moon phase, the waning phase too (when the moon wanes, it becomes small), and so on. Therefore, it also shows the time to sow and the time to reap. And all of that also shows the part of the spiritual world or realm.
And now, Abraham’s seed, being as the stars of heaven, the Prince Messiah is the Chief Star that is seen on Earth or from the Earth, the Bright and Morning Star. And when it is closer to Earth, then it looks larger, it looks brighter; and He says that He will give the Bright and Morning Star, the Morning Star, to the Overcomer.
It’s not that He will give him the planet Venus; but if He does give it to him, that’s good too; but what it typifies to give him the Morning Star is something greater, more important than a literal star. Do you know what the Bright and Morning Star is? He Himself said… That is in Revelation, chapter 2, verse 28 (speaking of the Overcomer): “I will give him the morning star.”
Therefore, it is the star that rises in the East when daybreak is coming, we see it then; even at dawn you can still see it, it is the last star that is seen, it is the largest one that is seen; and even when the sun is already starting to shine. And if you are able to have equipment once the sun has already come out, you can also see it; but you have to have equipment to look, because if you look at the sun you won’t see it and it will hurt your eyesight.
Now, in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, it says the following; and remember that this is connected. Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
And now, Christ is the Bright and Morning Star, and He has promised to give the Morning Star to the Overcomer.
Christ is speaking here; notice, from age to age Christ has been speaking in the midst of His Church, for He said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.”3
And now, let’s see, for example, here in verse 28 and 29 of chapter 2, it says [Revelation]:
“And I will give him the morning star.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
It is the Holy Spirit who is making that promise. Christ in Holy Spirit has been in the midst of His Church the entire time; and He says that He will be… “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.” And He is the Bright and Morning Star. Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church is the Bright and Morning Star.
And now, in Revelation, chapter 7, verse 2, we find a character here, who ascends from the East; it says, chapter 7, verse 2 and on, says:
“And I saw another angel ascending from the east,” (meaning, it is a Messenger from the East), “having the seal of the living God…”
“Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 30, that is what Saint Paul says in that passage. The Seal of the living God is the Holy Spirit; and here comes this Angel with the Holy Spirit, that is, Christ working in Him. It goes on to say:
“… and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel,” (and it begins to list 12,000 of each tribe).
This Angel comes with the Seal of the living God, comes with the Holy Spirit. He is the Angel-Messenger who will have the ministry with which the 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe, will be called and gathered. It is the Holy Spirit in him, operating the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which are the ministries that Christ sends in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, when He says: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect”: He will gather together that group of 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.
And now, that is the Angel-Messenger who will receive the Bright and Morning Star at the Last Day; meaning that he will receive the Holy Spirit, so that through that messenger He —Christ in Holy Spirit— may fulfill the things that pertain to this end time.
And now, Christ has been (and still is) in the midst of His Church to fulfill (or fulfilling) the things relevant to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this end time, just as He did from age to age.
From age to age, He sent the messenger for each age, and He put the revealed Word in that messenger; He revealed His Word to that messenger, he caught It (even if he didn’t understand It very well, but he caught It) and he preached that Word; and that was the Message relevant to the age in which each of the messengers who were sent to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ appeared. And that was the Holy Spirit working through each of those messengers.
That messenger, anointed with the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Spirit in him, worked in the Work of the Lord, and therefore, it was a Work of the Holy Spirit in each age. And that is why the Divine promise for each age, for the Church of Jesus Christ, was fulfilled when the Holy Spirit worked through the messenger of each age.
People saw a man doing the Work, but when we look closely we can see the Holy Spirit inside that man doing the Work relevant to the age in which he was sent. And many heard a man, but others heard God speaking through a man; it was the Voice of the Holy Spirit. That is why it says: “He that has ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
It was the Voice of Christ by His Spirit through the messenger of each age. All those who heard the messenger’s voice: they were hearing the Voice of the Holy Spirit in the age in which they were given to live. And the Work that was carried out by the messenger was not a human work, it was the Work of the Holy Spirit, of Christ, through the messenger of each age.
Now, having this knowledge as a basis for what God has promised for our time, we know that in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is represented in the virgin Mary…we find that an Angel named Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary, and told her she was blessed and that she would have a son (she would conceive, she would have a son) and would call His Name Jesus; and He would be called Son of God, Son of the Highest; and God would give Him the Throne of David, and He would reign over His people, over Israel; “and of his kingdom there shall be no end,” said the Angel Gabriel.4
This Word is the promised Word of the Coming of the Messiah to His people Israel: who had to come through a virgin woman; for the promise given in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 15, says that the woman’s Seed will bruise the serpent’s seed in the head.
And then in Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14, it says: “For, a virgin…” a virgin will conceive; it says that: “A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His Name Emmanuel,” which being interpreted is – which means: God with us.5 It would be God visiting His people in a body of flesh that would be born through a young woman, through a virgin who was Jewish, a descendant of King David. And this Son would bruise the devil’s head, because it was the devil in the serpent, therefore, He would bruise the serpent…it says:
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
The Son, the woman’s Seed, would be bruised in the heels, and that was fulfilled in the crucifixion; but Christ bruised him in the head; therefore, Jesus Christ obtained the victory.
And now, the Son of the virgin Mary, notice, was none other than the promised Messiah; the Word of the Coming of the Messiah was given to her, telling her that the Messiah would come through her, the Heir to the Throne of David would be born, the Son of God would be born; and she received that Word and said: “Be it unto me according to thy word.”6
And now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bride-Church, is compared to the virgin Mary, who at this end time was given the Word of God through the angel-messenger of the seventh age: a promised Word of the Coming of the Lord, of the Divine promises, of the promise of a great building, a Tent Cathedral; all those are promises given to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, given by the Holy Spirit through the angel-messenger of the seventh age of the Church.
And this Virgin-Church of the Word, this young Church, takes that Word, and in the Age of the Cornerstone She keeps believing It, to see the materialization of that and the rest of the promises that Christ has made to His Church.
And Christ, in the midst of His Church at the Last Day, in the age pertaining to this time, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, Christ in Holy Spirit in His Church will be fulfilling those promises. Christ is the One who made those promises and Christ is the One who has to fulfill them.
And now, we know that it is Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church who will be fulfilling these promises, but He has to use veils of flesh to fulfill everything He promised; just like to fulfill the Coming of the woman’s Seed, which is the Messiah, He used a young virgin named Mary, who believed that promised Word. And for the fulfillment of all the Divine promises for our time, He must have a Bride-Church typified in the virgin Mary.
And now, through that Bride-Church He will fulfill, through Her and in Her midst, everything that He has promised to His Church. Christ was, is, and will be in the midst of His Church, but He has to have veils of flesh to work in the project that He has for this end time. And Christ will be directing all those projects that He has for our time; therefore, it will be a Work of the Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church.
And now, let’s see how the Holy Spirit will be working at the Last Day: through human flesh; there is no other way for Him to work. Therefore, it will be the Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit working in the midst of His Church.
Therefore, we will see the Holy Spirit the way we saw Him in every age: in the messenger of each age; and we saw that they joined the messenger, and therefore, they joined Christ (who was in Holy Spirit in the messenger), for the Work relevant to the time in which the children of God of each of the past ages lived.
For our time we have the promise that He will do great things. We will see Him working all of those things, and we will be hand in hand with Him in the Work that He will be doing.
In the book of The Seals, Reverend William Branham tells us the following; page 57 [p. 70 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals:
“[29]…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…” (he is quoting Revelation chapter 10, verse 1 and on).
“30 If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant,” (now, that character of Revelation 10 is the Angel of the Covenant, it’s Christ, the same One who appeared to Moses). “And He is directly coming to the Jews now,” (we will see Him with some connection to the Jews), “for the Church is finished. See? All right.
…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
31 You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured.”
In other words, before the Rapture, the Angel appears, before the catching away of the Church, the Angel appears, the Messenger to Israel, which is Christ, which is the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant.
“[31] The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”
And now, we can see the relationship that there will be between this Angel of the Covenant (Christ in Holy Spirit), the Hebrew people, and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; He will have a twofold work to carry out.
On page 120 and 121 [p. 140 in Eng.] he says, by the end of page 120: “Now…” referring to that Angel of Revelation 10, he says:
“197 Now, we’ve saw the same thing, which was Christ. And we know Christ is always the Messenger to the Church. All right. He is called the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, and so forth.
And he had in his hand a little book opened:…
198 Now, the Seals had done been broke, here. We’re breaking them now. But, this, the Thing is open.
…and he set his right foot on the sea, and his left…on the earth…”
And if we continue reading, we will then see the things that this Angel speaks. He is there as Lion; He speaks and His Voice is heard as Seven Thunders; He cries as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders utter their voices. What He spoke… what the Thunders spoke is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming.
And now, on page 134 [p. 154 in Eng.], he says:
“302 Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings,” (and Lord of lords).
The promise is that He will become incarnate, in other words, He will be in human flesh, in a body of flesh. He was in the apostles partially, just as He had also been in the prophets; but when He was in Jesus, in a body that He created, then He was made flesh and dwelt among the Hebrew people, and He was in all His fullness.
And now, the same Spirit that was in the prophets and in Jesus, has been in the midst of His Church the whole time, and has been in each messenger, and through each messenger has been carrying out the Work of each age.
At the Last Day, He will be in the age relevant to the Last Day, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, and the promise is that He will be in a veil of flesh; that is: He will be in human flesh; because He has always used human flesh. He used the prophet Moses, and through Moses, he spoke to the people.
Zechariah himself (chapter 7, verses 11 to 12) says that God spoke to His people (how did He speak?) by His Spirit through the prophets; that’s the way God has been speaking. “I will raise them up a prophet like you from among the people; and I will put My words in his mouth. And whosoever will not hear what he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him.”7
Therefore, the Word of God for the people, God places It in the mouth of a man in whom the Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit, in other words, the Angel of the Covenant, will be. That is why it says in each age: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;”8 that is what He is speaking through the messenger, through the veil of flesh for each age.
And at the end time He will be speaking higher up, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and blessed will be all those who will be listening to what Christ in Holy Spirit will be speaking through human flesh, through the instrument that He has in store to be the messenger of that age. And the Holy Spirit will be working on the project that He showed would be carried out in the midst of His Church at the Last Day.
For example, the Tent Vision is a Divine project that God will carry out at this end time; and therefore, God through His Spirit, who is the Angel of the Covenant, will be carrying out that project.
But how will He do it? Through human flesh, by putting His entire Program in that manifestation that He will have at the Last Day. Many people will see a man and a people of believers carrying out a work; but others will see the Holy Spirit carrying out that work by using a veil of flesh, along with a group of believers who will be hand in hand supporting that work. And it will become a reality in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where the full manifestation of God is promised.
So, some will see a man, and a group of people working on that project; and others will see the Holy Spirit working through a man, and also using many people, that is, His Bride-Church as a Mystical Body working on that project. As simple as that.
Remember, “God in simplicity;” if you read in the book of The Seals, remember that message well, read that message carefully; and then, when he speaks of the Seventh Seal, read that too, and you will see that he says that he hadn’t fully realized that message “God In Simplicity,” and what had been said, but then he saw it very clearly; when he was to speak on the Seventh Seal, he says It will be in simplicity.
That is here around page 472 [p. 549 in Eng.], you already know it by memory; it says (let’s see):
“304 That shows It’s from God, for, see, It fits exactly in the promises of God, from the end of the—the Message.”
Which is the end-of-time Message? Let’s see:
“[304] You notice. Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal,” (meaning the Seventh Seal). “After all, He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible.”
When It starts; in other words, It will be present, It will start, but It will be a secret. Just like the First Coming of Christ was a secret until His ministry began back then at the age of 29 (and still…), 29 and a half; and It was still a secret, because people didn’t believe that that was the Coming of the Messiah, except a few people. Everything was so simple: a young carpenter, but that was the Messiah; a simple young man who had grown up in Nazareth, He hadn’t grown up in Jerusalem, the capital, but He was the Messiah.
What’s important isn’t what people think, it’s what God has actually determined. God hides His Program from the eyes of the wise and prudent; He hid the First Coming of Christ from the eyes of the wise and prudent. What was the First Coming of Christ? The Coming of the Holy Spirit in a body of flesh that He created in Mary’s womb. As simple as that.
Now, he goes on to say:
“[304] He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible, before knowing That. And remember, Revelation 10:1-7, 1 to 7, chapter 10:1 to 7, ‘At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known.’ We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.
305 Now, how did I know? The other day, last Sunday, a week ago today, when I was preaching on ‘Be humble! Be humble! Remember, God deals in little things.’ I didn’t realize what it really was talking about. And now I see it. It is in such a humble way! You would think that something like that would be revealed to the Vatican or…But It comes just like John the Baptist.”
How did John the Baptist come? As the promised Elijah forerunning the Coming of the Lord, he came as the third Elijah. And then he goes on to say:
“[305] It comes like the birth of our Lord, in a (manger). Glory to God! So help me, the hour is at hand! Amen! We’re here. Oh, my!”
It comes like what? Like the birth of the Lord, there in a manger; and remember that Mary represents the Bride-Church of the Lord.
Now, let’s see… You’ll understand from this. Page 368 [p. 423 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals, it says:
“[351] … the thing is polluted!
352 And the world, the nature, (God have mercy!) the whole world’s in—in birth pains. The world is trying, she is ‘travailing,’ Isaiah said. What’s the matter? She is in…trying to bring forth a new world, for the Millennium,” (all those problems of nature are birth pains, to give birth to a new world for the Millennium, in other words, for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ), “where all the…?…Trying to birth a new world, for a new people that won’t sin and pollute her. That’s right. She is in travail,” (meaning, everything is having labor pains). “That’s the reason the—the…We’re in travail, Christ, to bring forth the Bride.”
The Bride is in travail to give birth to Christ Jesus, like the virgin Mary was. He goes on to say around here:
“[352] Everything is travailing and groaning. See, there is something fixing to happen.
353 And this Sixth Plague lets her go. Brother, the earthquake bursts open, and the stars shake, volcanics will come forth, and the earth will renew itself.”
Notice all the problems that will come, but they are birth pains to give birth to a new world; planet Earth will be renewed, it will be restored for a people who will live there in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of the Messiah. He goes on to say:
“[353] New lava will break forth from the center of the earth. And she’ll crumble, all around and around and around, when she spins out in yonder,” (see, all of that is going to happen).
“354 And I tell you, one morning when Jesus and His Bride comes back to the earth, there will be a paradise of God there,” (in other words, perfect).
In other words, before the Great Tribulation begins, we’re going to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and when we come back we will find a renewed, restored Earth, a paradise, to spend our honeymoon; a paradise, like it was before Adam and Eve sinned.
And now, the Bride-Church is in travail to bring forth Christ. It is because the Word that was given by the Holy Spirit through the angel of the seventh age is the creative Word; It is a seed that and by which the Bride-Church became pregnant; and that is why She is having birth pains here, in this passage; birth pains to bring forth whom? Christ.
And therefore, it will be the greatest blessing that the Church has ever received, which She will receive at the end time, at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone. And Christ will fulfill all that pertains to this end time.
Now, we can see that the mystery of the Seventh Seal is connected to the Church of the Lord, it is connected to that Virgin-Bride-Church represented in the virgin Mary, which at the end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, will have the blessing of bringing forth Christ. And that Bride-Church will have the blessing that all His children, the elect, will be transformed if they remain alive until the resurrection.
And now, “MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED”: without being dismayed, let’s continue working hand in hand in the Work of the Lord according to what is promised for our time, so that everything that has been promised becomes a reality.
In the midst of the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is where the fulfillment of the Tent Vision must appear; of the Tent Vision at this end time, in the age relevant to this time, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
God isn’t working outside the Age of the Cornerstone, and therefore, He won’t work for the fulfillment of that Vision. It must be in that perfect age, the Age of the Cornerstone, the Age of the Adoption, the age that is relevant to that Bride-Church, to that young Church which would appear at this end time.
Do you remember the vision of the Church that Reverend William Branham had, where he saw the early Church in a… passing by a certain way? And then, later on, in that same vision, he saw Christianity in its different denominational stages, each stage represented in an adult woman, and then he saw the seventh Church age; after that age ended, then we find that there was a change in the people of that age; and then he was crying because of what he had seen, but he was told: “Don’t cry, here She comes, now the Bride of the Lord is going to pass by again.”
And when she passed by – and when he looks – when he hears: he hears like a marching tune, like in the processions of these national parades that are carried out, like on the 4th of July in the United States, and things like that; and he starts to hear a march, he said: “Something like: ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers.’” And when he looks, he sees a group of well-dressed, very beautiful, young women, passing by in front of him, and he was told: “That is the Bride of the Lord,” represented in those young women; and he rejoiced.9
See? The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this end time is represented in some young women who passed by in front of him in the vision of the Bride-Church of the Lord; and there is only one age where that can happen, because the other ages are already old ages, represented in adult women; and now, there is only one young age: the Age of the Cornerstone.
Therefore, in Her midst and through that Bride-Church, God will be working at this end time, and He will be bringing to fulfillment everything that He has promised for Her; and through Her, through His Bride-Church, and the ministry He has placed in Her midst, He will fulfill everything He has promised.
Some people will see a people carrying out certain works with a man, a messenger, but others will see God through His Holy Spirit fulfilling what He promised.
“MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED.”
And we will continue working, doing God’s will, until we obtain the promise of the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, and also the promise of our transformation; because even if the promise of the Tent Vision is fulfilled, if we aren’t transformed, we would have to go through the great tribulation.
The goal is to receive the faith to be transformed and raptured, and be taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; that is the goal. Afterwards, that Tent Cathedral will remain here on Earth and God is the One who will decide what will happen to it.
But the elect will fly, because they will have glorified, interdimensional bodies, they will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; we who are alive and will be alive those days, and are transformed, and those who will resurrect in glorified bodies.
I believe that we have enough from what we have spoken, and I believe that the Seventh Seal has been opened plenty and understood plenty. All of that is within the Seventh Seal. It is something for the Bride-Church of the Lord; it’s not something for the world, it’s something for the Bride-Church of the Lord.
Well, let’s leave Reverend Miguel Bermúdez Marín here to continue (I believe he is still around here, Miguel).
“MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED.”
We didn’t come to Christ and we didn’t begin in the ministry to then abandon it and forget about it, but rather, until we obtain what He has promised: until we reach the goal, which will be our transformation, the rapture, and the great feast in Heaven of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and after three and a half years there, we will return to Earth for the establishment of the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Kingdom of Christ, where we will be as kings, as priests, and also as judges.
I believe we have Miguel around here now. May God bless and keep you; and until tomorrow, God willing, when we will gather again for the relevant service, where we expect great blessings from God.
And at what time will it be tomorrow, Miguel? At 9:00. Is that 9:00 Monterrey time or 9:00…? Well, today it was at 9:00, wasn’t it? And they were already here by 9:00. But tomorrow, since they have arrived from other places, now…
Tomorrow we’ll also be traveling already, and we’ll travel, at what time, Miguel? At the most convenient time. So, if we leave early and there’s an earlier flight: we’ll leave early, and that way we arrive earlier to where we need to go to get everything ready; so that… (the next day?), the next day we can continue traveling; on Monday we’ll continue traveling.
And we trust that you will pray for us a lot so that God continues to work, continues to confirm the believers at this Last Day in the faith and in the relevant age, and so that He also continues to open the Scriptures to us, and thus, to give us more and more spiritual Food of His Word.
May God bless and keep you, and I leave Reverend Miguel Bermúdez Marín here.
God bless and keep you all.
