Good evening, beloved brethren and friends present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For this occasion, we have the subject: “PROTECTED AGAINST THE CUNNINGNESS OF THE SERPENT.”
For which we will read the Scripture in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 7 to 13, which pertains to Philadelphia here, to the church of Philadelphia, where it reflects what will also be happening in our time. Chapter 3, verse 7 and on, it says:
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation (that is, of the hour of temptation), which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
And we read in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 1 and on, where it says:
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
In Genesis we have the tree of knowledge of good and evil and we also have the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life is Christ, who was there in His theophanic body; and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was also there, which is the devil, which was also there, in the midst of the Garden of Eden, in his body (spirit) of another dimension.
And there, for the human being to eat either of the tree of knowledge of good and evil or of the Tree of Life, the tree of knowledge of good and evil or the Tree of Life had to become flesh; and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is the devil, became flesh in the serpent, that animal that was like man but had no soul.
The devil could not become flesh in a human being because the devil is not a creator; and the devil, notice, could not become flesh as God would become flesh: by creating in the womb of a virgin, creating a cell of life, which would multiply cell upon cell and create a body in which God would dwell.
The devil is not a creator, therefore he could not create a life there in Mary’s womb; and therefore the devil then took the serpent, the animal closest to the human being, and got into it; and there was the devil manifested in flesh in the serpent.
That’s why then, throughout the entire Bible, when the devil is mentioned, he is also mentioned as the ancient serpent; and he is also called the dragon. The dragon, the ancient serpent, which is the devil and Satan.
And that’s why the offspring of the evil doers is also mentioned as the offspring of the serpent. It is mentioned by Christ and by other messengers of God as “generation of vipers,” “serpents,” as John the Baptist said and Jesus of Nazareth said to many people of that time who rose against Christ, as Cain rose against Abel.
Now notice how some people rose against Christ; and Christ called many people of that time “generation of vipers,” “serpents,” and He said to them1: “You of your father the devil are, and the works of your father you want to fulfill.”
Now notice how, according to the words of Christ there and also in other places, there are children of God and children of the devil on this planet Earth; it is a truth that cannot be denied.
Christ told people who could not believe in Him and rejected Him, He said: “He who is of God, hears the Voice of God; (and said to them) that’s why you cannot hear my Voice, because you are not of God2.” And that was a harsh word, but it was the truth.
And now, Christ says: “He that is of God hears the Voice of God.” He said: “My sheep hear my Voice, and they follow me3.”
And now, notice how it was that the offspring of the devil was introduced on this Earth: through the fall of the human being in the Garden of Eden, where the devil became flesh in the serpent and deceived Eve; and from then on we find that Cain came.
And the Bible, let’s see what it says about Cain. In First John, chapter 3, verses 11 and on, it says:
“For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.”
Who did Cain belong to? To the wicked one. Who did Abel belong to? Son of Adam. But Cain was of the wicked one, the serpent, in whom the devil had become flesh.
“And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”
Those of Cain, the works of Cain were evil, and the works of Abel were good. And notice, they were both religious, both worshiped God, both offered an offering to God, as Genesis says (…) chapter 4, verse 3 and on, of Genesis says:
“And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
And he said (that is, God), What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.”
Now notice how Cain the son of the wicked one, the son of the devil through the serpent, who was born through Eve…; because Eve became (after sin) the mother of every living being, of every living person.
At first her name was Woman, but (when she sinned) Adam changed her name to Eve, which is the mother of all living things4.
Now, Adam is not the father of every living being; he is the father of this line of the righteous who came through Seth.
And now, we can see that the offspring of Adam is one and the offspring of the serpent is another; and there are, on this planet Earth, two kinds of people, as Christ said in the parable of the wheat and the tares.
Christ in Matthew, chapter 13, said that the wheat are the children of the Kingdom, in other words, the children of God, and the tares are the children (of whom?) of the evil one.
And the children of the evil one, just as Cain was of the wicked one, the tares, the children of the evil one, notice how they come. Now, in the flesh, notice how the race or the offspring of the devil was introduced through that sin in the Garden of Eden; thus, the devil was introduced into the human race: he injected himself into the human race to have offspring among the human race.
But notice, since the devil is not a creator, notice all that he had to do to inject himself in the midst of the human race and have beings in which he (the devil) could live, and through which the devil could work and could govern this planet Earth, which he took from Adam back there in the Garden of Eden; for when Adam and Eve sinned, they lost the right to the government of the planet Earth, but now the devil would be the one who would govern the planet Earth through his seed.
And now, that’s why Cain then, notice, killed his brother. By killing his brother, he would eliminate any person who interfered in that kingdom of the devil, which would be governed through Cain and then through all the descendants of Cain; because that’s the offspring of the wicked one, that’s the offspring of the sons of the wicked one. It says:
“Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother (Abel)5.”
Now notice how all this happened back then in the Garden of Eden for the offspring of the wicked one to be able to enter this planet Earth; and that’s why the children of the wicked one have also been in the midst of the sons and daughters of God.
Christ, in that parable of the wheat and the tares, brought a very clear revelation, because the Scripture says that God… through these parables… Let’s look at Matthew and see why Christ spoke in parables. Matthew tells us the reason why Christ spoke in parables; let’s see here: Matthew, chapter 13, verse 10 and on, says:
“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them (in other words, ‘and I saved you’; to heal there means ‘to save’).
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”
And in Psalm 78, verse 2, which is the Psalm that He is fulfilling there by speaking to them in parables, He says [verse 1]:
“Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable: (that is, in parables6) I will utter dark sayings of old.”
Here, notice how God in the Old Testament is already saying that He will open His mouth in parables (in other words, in proverbs) and declare concealed, hidden things from ancient times; in other words, things that were, happened since ancient times, would now be spoken, declared by parables.
Now notice here: in Matthew, chapter 13, verse 34 to 35, it says:
“All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
Things that were hidden, see how Christ declares them with these very simple parables, which are understood… these things that He speaks are understood, in terms of wheat or tares; in other words, parables are used with things that people already know: with wheat, tares, the field, the sower and all these things.
And now, Christ tells us in this parable:
“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.”
And who’s the evil one? The devil. And now, “not like Cain, who was (whose?) of the wicked one (that is, of the evil one) and killed his brother Abel.”
“The enemy that sowed them is the devil (Who sowed what? Sowed the tares, who sowed the children of the wicked one)<em>; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world (of that century in which that work will be carried out).
The Son of man shall send forth his angels…”
Now notice how the promise of the Coming of the Angels of the Son of Man is also for the end time, for the time of the harvest.
The wheat is harvested and placed in God’s Storehouse, and the tares will be gathered and thrown into the furnace of fire, which is the great tribulation, where the divine judgments will fall upon the human race and burn the tares.
This was also spoken by the prophet Malachi in chapter 4, verse 1 and on, where he said:
“…the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
Who is this promise for? For the tares, which shall be burned in the end time; and that is in the day burning as an oven, where the fire of the radioactivity which is stored shall be unleashed, and that day burning as an oven shall burn the tares. There will be a Third World War, and that will unleash the atomic fire upon the tares.
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.”
And why will the evil ones then be ashes under the soles of the feet of those who will receive the rising Sun? Because for the Millennial Kingdom the evil ones will already be turned into ashes (due to the atomic fire), and those who fear the Name of the Lord will be in their glorified bodies living in the glorious Millennial Kingdom; and walking on this planet Earth in the Millennial Kingdom, we will be walking on the ashes of the evil ones, because they were burned and left under the soles of our feet. See?
And the wicked will no longer be ruling on planet Earth during the Millennial Kingdom, but the promise of God promised in the book of the prophet Daniel will be fulfilled, where it says… In chapter 7, verse 17 and on (17 to 18), it says:
“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.”
Now we can see what will be happening in this end time.
When the Kingdom is delivered to the saints of the Most High (in other words, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ), where we will reign with Christ as kings and priests for a thousand years and then for all eternity, no one will be able to take that Kingdom from the sons and daughters of God; and Christ will be at the head with His Church in that Kingdom, Christ seated on the Throne of David.
The capital will be Jerusalem, the Federal District will be the territory of Israel, and the whole planet Earth will be governed by Christ and His Church during the Millennial Kingdom and then throughout eternity.
The Earth will then go through a process of purification after the Millennial Kingdom. When? At the end of the one thousand years of the Millennial Kingdom, the Final Judgment takes place at the end, and then the Earth will go through a purification process, which will last a certain amount of time; it may be days, it may be months, it may be years, it may be millenniums and it may be millions of years as well. But we won’t have problems.
Just as for the time when the great tribulation will be happening on this planet Earth, well, we will be in the House of our heavenly Father with Christ, in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And when the Earth is going through that process of divine judgment after the seventh millennium, after the Millennial Kingdom, when God will purify this Earth, then we will have other places to be while the Earth goes through that stage of purification.
And even if we were here on Earth, we would have no problem, because we are in an eternal body. But there are so many places in the House of our heavenly Father: “In my Father’s house are many mansions7.”
So we will have many places to go while the Earth will be going through that stage of purification, which is the fire baptism that the Earth receives, just as each son and daughter of God receives a baptism of Fire, the baptism of the Spirit of Christ.
And now, notice, the Earth goes through justification; that already happened in the time of Noah: it was justified back in the time of Noah during the flood. Then it went through the stage of sanctification: when Christ died on Calvary’s Cross and shed His Blood, the Earth was sanctified with the Blood of Christ. And then it will go through that fire baptism in all its fullness, after the Millennium.
Before the Millennium and before the great tribulation, it goes through the first fruits of that baptism, which will be the great tribulation, where the atomic fire will be unleashed; but then it will go through the fullness of baptism in fire, which will purify the entire planet Earth and restore it.
It says that the sea is no more8, after it has gone through that stage of purification after the Millennial Kingdom. In other words, we will have on planet Earth, after the Millennial Kingdom and after that baptism in fire through which the planet Earth will go, we will have more uncovered land to live on; and there will be no sea, because the sea —the Scripture says— is no more. That’s when one goes from the Millennium, from the Millennial Kingdom, to eternity, after the Divine Judgment is carried out.
And by that time there will be no more devil, there will be no more sinners, the tares will already be burned.
Now, notice, the tares are burned during the great tribulation, but only physically; but later, in the Final Judgment, where all those who lived in bodies and did not belong to the elect of God, the firstborn of God, will be judged… Because the firstborn of God, by believing in Christ as our Savior and washing our sins in the Blood of Christ, we do not have to go to be judged in the Final Judgment; we have passed from death to life, and we will not have to be judged9.
And now, notice, the humanity that does not belong to that group of the firstborn of God will have to appear in their bodies, in the body in which they lived here on Earth; they will resurrect after the Millennial Kingdom is finished (in other words, after the one thousand years have ended), all those who had not been resurrected as elect will resurrect, and they will present themselves before the White Throne to be judged by Christ and His Church. And there, those who have done good, will go out to eternal life; and those who have not done good, the tares, will go out into the lake of fire, where they will be cast out and burned in body, spirit and soul as well; they will completely disappear.
Now, how long will the lake of fire last burning and burning all that tares, all that tares that came into existence on Earth from Cain until now, and also all that race of the devil and all those fallen angels? Because they will also be cast into the lake of fire, as the devil will be cast into the lake of fire and will also be destroyed; because the lake of fire will destroy body, it will destroy spirit and it will also destroy the soul of all those people who will be cast into the lake of fire.
And then, there will be no devil, there will be no demons, there will be no diseases, there will be no evil people on the new Earth and new Heavens, because everyone will have been destroyed in the lake of fire.
Look how it says; speaking of this judgment, in the book of Revelation it says, let’s see here [20:11]:
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
There are people who do not understand that everything they do here on Earth is recorded in a Book in Heaven; in other words, the life of every person is recorded, even people’s thoughts.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ was told that the thoughts of human beings speak louder than their words in Heaven10.
And now, we can see what it’s going to be like. He says:
“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death (that is, the lake of fire is the second death).
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
And chapter 21, verse 1 and on, says:
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
Now notice how the Final Judgment will come after the Millennial Kingdom, where the human beings who have lived on this Earth will be judged, and the wicked ones will also be judged; and everyone who is not written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.
Now we can see that there will also be people whose names will be in the Book of Life and their names will not be blotted out because they helped the children, God’s elect, God’s children, God’s firstborn in the time they lived; and Christ said that “whosoever shall give a cup of cold water to one of these my little ones (speaking of His firstborn) shall not lose (what?) his reward,11” and God’s reward is eternal life.
That’s why in the parable that Christ gave in Matthew, chapter 25, in the judgment of the nations, the King placed the sheep on His right hand and the goats on His left. And, notice, He placed those who had helped one of these little ones…; and those little ones are God’s elect, the members of the Mystical Body of Christ.
And all those who helped these little ones in one way or another, appear in the group of sheep placed at the right hand of the King; and those who did not help, having the opportunity, appear where? To the left, in the group represented by the goats.
And that Judgment is carried out according to the action of those persons with the little ones, the sons and daughters of God, that is, by the attitude assumed before the sons and daughters of God.
Since those little ones are the members of the Church of Jesus Christ and make up the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Mystical Body of Christ being the spiritual Temple of Christ, the Scripture says that whoever destroys the Temple of God will be destroyed by God12. Therefore, anyone who has done anything against God’s elect, who has risen against God’s elect, has been trying to destroy (whom?) the Temple of God, and will have the reward of being destroyed.
And now, notice how the seed of the serpent has been persecuting the seed of God throughout the different generations; and at the Final Judgment the tares will be cast into the lake of fire and will be destroyed, in body, spirit and soul, too.
Now, before the Final Judgment and before the Millennial Kingdom, the tares that will be living on Earth will face the day burning like an oven, where the divine judgment will fall upon the human race; and entire nations will disappear, and millions of human beings will die under the judgments of the great tribulation.
Now, God is the one who will determine which nations will enter the Millennial Kingdom of Christ and which nations will not be able to enter the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
And every nation that has risen against the Church of Jesus Christ or against the Hebrew people, will have problems; and the judgment of the great tribulation, the day burning as an oven, will come to them; because it is the time where what it says in Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on, will be fulfilled, where it says:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
And who are the ones who destroy the Earth? The seed of the wicked one.
And now, notice that God will destroy those who destroy the Earth (with what?) with the divine judgments of the great tribulation, where the atomic fire will be unleashed in that Third World War; and from then on, the unleashed atomic fire will continue there carrying out that destruction, and that will lead to other things happening in a chain effect.
It continues:
“And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
Now notice, the Temple of God in Heaven was opened; and when lightning, voices, thunder, an earthquake and great hail came out of the Temple of God – in other words, “there was lightning, voices, thunder, an earthquake and great hail,” that shows that the Throne of God there in Heaven and the Temple of God there in Heaven no longer had Blood on the Mercy Seat there, because the Blood of Christ was no longer there, because Christ had already finished His Work of Redemption, He had finished His Work of Intercession there in Heaven.
And now mercy is no longer coming out of the Throne of God for the nations, but rather, the divine judgment is coming out (here, in Revelation, chapter 11).
That’s why in Revelation, chapter 6, we find that divine judgment being manifested under the Sixth Seal. Chapter 6, verse 12 and on, says:
“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake (there you have the earthquake again)<em>; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
Now notice how it is said here that the great day of His wrath, of the wrath of the Lamb, of the wrath of Christ, has come; because when He finishes His work of Intercession there in the Throne that is in Heaven, then that Throne becomes a Throne of Judgment; and from there comes the divine judgment upon the human race, just as the mercy of God and blessing of God was coming forth from that Throne, while Christ has been on that Throne making intercession with His precious Blood on behalf of all the sons and daughters of God.
We also find in chapter 15 of Revelation, verses (let’s see here)… Verses 1 and on says:
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.”
How do they recognize Him here, that crowd there? They recognize Him as King of saints, that is, King of kings and Lord of lords. These are the people who will be going through the great tribulation.
“Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest (that is, the judgments of the great tribulation).
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened (in other words, the Most Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven):
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.”
Now notice, where does divine judgment come from? From the Temple of God, from the Most Holy Place, to be manifested on this planet Earth.
There we can see… See, in chapter 16, verse 1 and on, it also says:
“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”
And during the great tribulation, those plagues that appear here will be manifested during the great tribulation; and all the divine judgments that have fallen upon the human race will be repeated during the great tribulation. And this was also typified in the plagues that came upon Egypt under the ministry of Moses.
And for the time when the ministries of the Two Olive Trees under the three and a half years of the seventieth week (those last three and a half years of the seventieth week, which pertain to the three and a half years of the great tribulation), under the time of the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the plagues will be poured out on planet Earth; and that is the divine judgment that will come upon the human race.
Now we can see all that will be happening on this planet Earth during the great tribulation, to remove the tares, the children of the wicked one from this planet Earth and from the government of this planet Earth.
Just as Cain was the son of the wicked one, the offspring of the sons of the wicked one is scattered throughout the planet Earth; and now, the human race is physically mixed; but in the spirit, that is where the separation, the difference is made.
When the human race fell in the Garden of Eden, the devil took the lead there, he took over the planet Earth; and the son of the wicked one, Cain, appeared as the firstborn, he was the one who was born first, and we can see that the devil began to rule with him; and then Cain had a son and built a city and named it (the name of that city) after his son.
Notice that he is doing an imitation of what God will do; because the great city, the New Jerusalem, will have the Eternal Name of God, which is the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Name of His Son is the name that God has for the New Jerusalem.
Well, we can see that the seed or offspring of the wicked one, the devil, who came through the serpent and then reproduced himself and brought the first son (Cain) to Earth, notice how it has spread. They were giants; that’s why it says that there were giants on Earth, because the serpent was a giant, a giant animal. And that offspring of Cain is the offspring of the giants, and then it was mixed with descendants of Adam and Eve, because the wife or woman who Cain took was a daughter of Adam and Eve.
And then, later on, in chapter (let’s see) 5 of Genesis, around there, let’s see what it says there… Chapter 6 of Genesis says:
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.”
In other words, the sons of God, who are the descendants of Adam, chose for themselves women of the sons of men, who are the descendants of Cain.
“And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”
So from then on, 120 years remained for that generation to disappear:
“There were giants in the earth in those days (in other words, that is the offspring of the serpent, which comes through Cain)<em>; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”
Noah is a descendant of whom? Of Adam, he is a descendant of the seed of the righteous.
“These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence (as it is today: wars everywhere and problems everywhere).
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.”
And He continues to explain to Noah what he must do. And then he says, let’s see:
“A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower (that’s the first floor), second, and third stories shalt thou make it (meaning, an ark, that is, a large boat, with three floors or three levels).
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.”
Now, there we can see the plan of salvation shown to Noah, which is also a type and figure of the plan of redemption, of the plan of salvation for the sons and daughters of God, for the offspring of God, for the wheat; and the plan of redemption is Christ, the Ark of Salvation.
And now, notice how for all the sons and daughters of God who enter into Christ, the Ark of Salvation, eternal life is assured.
Now we can see: the bottom door of the ark is Christ and the door or window above is also Christ; there we have the First and Second Coming of Christ; because He is still the Door, through which His children enter.
Now notice, in Revelation John saw…, he looked to Heaven and saw a Door where?, open where? In Heaven; that is the Second Coming of Christ; because Christ is the Door through which we enter into at the Last Day; just as we have entered the Ark through the door of the First Coming of Christ, to obtain the new birth, to obtain the firstfruits of the Spirit.
And to obtain the fullness of the Spirit and to obtain our transformation, we enter through the door of the Second Coming of Christ, having first entered through the door of the First Coming of Christ.
Now notice, Abel had the revelation of how to serve God, just as Noah had the revelation of how to serve God; but Cain did not have the revelation of how to serve God, and he brought forth fruits of the field, because he believed that the original sin was to eat of some fruit of the field, because he thought it…, or they thought it was a product of the trees (literally speaking), and brought forth of the fruits of the field.
Some have perhaps thought it was an apple, others have thought it was another fruit; and many Hebrews have thought it was a fig, because they covered themselves with fig leaves. But neither by eating figs nor by eating apples does one sin before God. Rather, the fig tree, because it did not have figs, was cursed by Christ13</a>; and the fig tree represents Israel.
Now, we can see how God has come working from Genesis to this end time where we are, in the time when the apocalyptic prophecies are being fulfilled; and these apocalyptic prophecies have been fulfilled since the days of the apostles.
Since the days of the apostles, well, we can see these apocalyptic prophecies that pertain to the Church of Jesus Christ going through its different stages, they have been fulfilled in the different stages of the Church of Jesus Christ; and in those stages we have seen how God and His seed have appeared, and we have also seen how the devil and the seed of the devil has also appeared in the field; and we have seen the tares and the wheat in the same field.
Just as the wheat and the tares were manifested in the same field in this world, we find that in the Church, in Christianity, the wheat and the tares have also been there in that spiritual field; and in the same way that the tares worked, Cain back then, the tares would also work in the religious field of Christianity.
And Abel, the offspring of Adam, who represents the children of God, notice how he would also act: with the divine revelation, offering the perfect sacrifice for sin.
It had to be an animal sacrifice, because the blood is the only thing that covered sin at that time. And now through the Sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, the sons and daughters of God come to worship God and serve God with the perfect Sacrifice, with the perfect offering for sin; and the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin14.
Now we can see how from stage to stage, from age to age, everything has been moving until we reach this end time.
And to him that overcometh, Christ promises, here in the reading we had at the beginning, of Revelation, chapter 2… Chapter 3, verse 10, it says:
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation (temptation) which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
And now, let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says about this hour of temptation. We read in the book of The Ages, pages 348 and 349, where it tells us15:
“He goes on to say to them, ‘Because you have taken my Word and lived it, and thereby become patient, I will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.’ Now here again we see the overlapping of the two ages; for this promise has to do with the end of the Gentile period which culminates in the Great Tribulation.”
But notice how things that in their culmination correspond to the end of time and that will be fulfilled during the great tribulation were reflected in that Age of Philadelphia. He says:
“‘I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.’ This verse is not a declaration that the true church will go into and through the tribulation. If it meant that it would have said that. But it said, ‘I will keep thee from the hour of temptation.’ This temptation is exactly like the temptation in Eden..”
In other words, what was experienced in the Garden of Eden will be lived in an updated way; in other words, what will be happening here will be equivalent to what happened in the Garden of Eden, where Eve was tempted there by the serpent, where the devil was made flesh. It says:
“It will be a very inviting proposition held up in direct opposition to God’s commanded Word, and yet from the standpoint of human reasoning it will be so very right, so enlightening and life-giving as to fool the world. Only the very elect will not be fooled. The temptation will come as follows. The ecumenical move that has started on what seems such a beautiful and blessed principle (fulfilling Christ’s prayer that we all might be one) becomes so strong politically that she bears pressure upon the government to cause all to join with her either directly or through adherence to principles enacted into law so that no people (that is, no one) will be recognized as actual churches unless under direct or indirect domination of this council. Little groups will lose charters, privileges, etcetera, until they lose all property and spiritual rights with the people. For example, right now unless the local ministerial association approves in many, if not most cities, one cannot rent a building for religious services. To become chaplains in the armed services, hospitals, etcetera, it is now almost mandatory to be recognized as acceptable to the trinitarian ecumenical groups. As this pressure increases, and it will, it will be harder to resist, for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be tempted to go along, for they will feel it is better to serve God publicly in the framework of this organization than not to serve God at all publicly. But they err. To believe the devil’s lie is to serve Satan, even though you may want to call him Jehovah. But the elect will not be deceived.
Furthermore, the elect will not only be kept, but as this move becomes the ‘IMAGE ERECTED TO THE BEAST,’ the saints will be gone in the rapture.”
Now we can see what the temptation that was there in the Garden of Eden will be in an updated form; because, notice, God said back there, in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 14 and on:
“And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
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 serpent was wounded on the head, the devil was wounded on the head, there on Calvary’s Cross when Christ died; and the devil wounded Christ on the heel, there on the ankles, when Christ was crucified on Calvary’s Cross.
And now, you notice that between the seed or offspring of the serpent and the seed of the woman, it says that there will be enmity. Therefore, the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent must not be mixed, because they will produce children who will not be children of God.
And that’s what happened when the sons of God (who are the descendants of Adam through Eve) mixed; and they saw the wives of the sons of men (the sons of men there are the descendants of Cain), they saw very beautiful women and giant women (because they were the children of giants). And now, they took women from among themselves and had children through them, and that displeased God; and for that reason, notice, the flood came.
Now, for the end time we find that the equivalent of what happened in the Garden of Eden will be happening, and there will be a temptation at this end time; but the elect will not be deceived, because the elect will have Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant manifested in their midst in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and He will be giving us His Word at this end time.
Therefore, the Church-Bride of Christ will be eating from the Tree of Life at this end time, just as from age to age God’s elect have eaten from the Tree of Life in their age, through each age, upon receiving Christ manifested in the angel messenger of each age, through whom Christ gave them His Word, gave them to eat of His Word, gave them to eat from the Tree of Life.
And now, for this end time Christ will also be manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger giving us to eat of His Word, giving us to eat of the Tree of Life, so that we may live eternally, receive our transformation and escape from the divine judgments that will fall upon the human race, and thus escape from the hour of temptation that will come upon the human race.
Now we have reached the most glorious time of all times, where God would be protecting all the children of God from the cunningness of the serpent, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, just as He has protected His children from age to age, in every age.
Now, we can see the time in which we are living and the position in which the Church of Jesus Christ would be at this end time: she would be in the Golden Age, the Age of the Cornerstone, the age in which the Tree of Life (which is Christ) would be manifested giving us to eat His Word, giving us to eat the fruit of His Word, to receive the faith to be changed and raptured at this end time.
The Tree of Life was here on Earth two thousand years ago, the Tree of Life became flesh; Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, became flesh, and lived among human beings 33 years in a body of human flesh, which died and resurrected and ascended to Heaven in that body; and He was placed there, in the Temple of God, in the Most Holy Place, to make intercession for all the sons and daughters of God.
And now in the end time, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word, according to Revelation, chapter 19, becomes flesh again, and will be in the midst of His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone.
That’s why in Revelation, chapter 22, for eternity, it says… chapter 22, verse 1 and on, it says:
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him…”
And now, in this great city, the New Jerusalem, will be the Throne of God; in this great city, which is 1,500 miles wide by 1,500 miles long, and 1,500 miles high (that’s about two thousand meters and a little more16). In this city, notice, a clean river of the water of life comes out of the Throne of God, and it says that on one side and on the other side of the river are what? The Tree of Life.
Now, the Tree of Life is Christ, and the Tree of Life is Christ in His First Coming and is Christ in His Second Coming, on one side and on the other side of the river. Now we can see this great mystery.
We are not going to abound much about this, this is already for eternity, after the Millennial Kingdom; but there will be every person who has had a part in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Church of Jesus Christ, which from stage to stage, from age to age, has been manifested. And in the same order in which each person appeared manifested in the Mystical Body of Christ, he will be in that city; and we can see, therefore, what is our position in that city.
Now, how many of you like to live in a place that is a very low place, a hole that you look at and can’t see the landscape well? Nobody likes to live like that.
Now, where would you like to live and have a nice little house? Well, on a hill or on a mountain, because you can see everything from there. Well do you know something? In that great city the highest part where the sons of God will dwell, the highest part is for the sons and daughters of God of this end time to dwell, of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And the apostles with the group of that stage will dwell at the bottom; that’s why Christ promised them to sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. And there in the city there are twelve gates: three on each side, and there, it belongs to each of those apostles. But, notice, they were the overcomers of that stage.
And now, the seven angel messengers, each one is in the stage in which he lived; in that same order they will be in that great city called New Jerusalem, which will have as its name the Name of God, which is the name of which Christ speaks in this same passage of Revelation.
Notice everything that is in this passage of Revelation that we read at the beginning, under the Age of Philadelphia, where it says, in chapter 3, verse 7 and on, it says:
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David (he has the key of David, therefore, the Kingdom of David belongs to him, because he was the key of David to open that Kingdom), he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth…”
And if he has the key, with that key he opens the door to the glorious Kingdom of David, which is the Millennial Kingdom, the Kingdom of God being established on Earth.
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it…”
And if he has placed an open door it is because he has the key of David and he opened that door; and all that was reflected in the Door opened under that age, where the missionary work was carried out in a very broad way.
And now, for the Last Day, the missionary work with the Door open with David’s key will be widely carried out among Latin American and Caribbean people, and then in the glorious Millennial Kingdom over the entire planet Earth.
That Door is Christ; the Door to the glorious Millennial Kingdom is Christ in His Second Coming as King of kings and Lord of lords; and that Door can only be opened by Christ with David’s key.
He goes on to say:
“…for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation (in other words, of the hour of temptation), which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God (He will write upon the Overcomer the Name of God, the Eternal Name of God, and the Name of the City of our God), which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
Upon whom shall be written the Name of our God and the Name of the City of our God and the New Name of the Lord, which is the same? The same name, the same Eternal Name of God is the Name of the City of our God and the New Name of our Lord. And He will write that Name upon whom? Upon the Overcomer; the faithful and wise servant, who will be in the House of God, the Church of Jesus Christ, giving Food on time to all the sons and daughters of God, in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 42 to 47. Now, Christ says [verse 45]:
“Who (that is, which one) then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
In other words, in the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ, the faithful and wise servant who is giving spiritual food at that time to the sons and daughters of God in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, that is the faithful and wise servant of whom He speaks here:
“Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.”
And when He places him over all His goods, well, it is for the administration of his Lord’s goods.
In another of the places where this same parable is spoken, the faithful and wise servant is called the faithful and wise steward17</a>; and a steward is the one who administers those goods of his lord.
And now, that promise: “…and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name,” will be fulfilled in that faithful and wise servant.
And also the promise that says18: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” That Throne is the Throne of David.
And just as Jesus Christ sat on the Throne of the Father when He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven victorious, and there He received a New Name, and sat on the Throne of God in Heaven…; and from the Throne of God, notice, He has been ministering on behalf of all those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The administration of our God’s business from His Throne, notice, Christ has been carrying it out. And He says19: “The Father judges no one, but gave all judgment (to whom?) to the Son.”
And now, just as the Father did with Jesus, when He obtained the victory and ascended to Heaven victorious, and sat down at the right hand of God in Heaven, now Christ says: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” In other words, in the same way it happened with Jesus when He overcame and sat with His Father on His Throne, now Christ will do with the Overcomer; and there, on that Throne, the Overcomer will sit with Christ: on the Throne of David.
And now, this is what John and James were looking for from Christ, and they were also being helped by the mother of John and James, who came to Jesus saying: “Lord, we want one thing…” Matthew, chapter 20, we find that request expressed there. Chapter 20 says, verse 20 and on, of Matthew says:
“Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand (that is, in that glorious Millennial Kingdom), and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.”
Now, here the mother of James and John is ordering Christ to do this. The request is:
“She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.”
That’s what Christ is promising for the Overcomer when He says: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
When Christ ascended to Heaven victorious and sat with His Father on His Throne, the Scripture also says that He sat (where?) at the right hand of God. That’s sitting at the right hand of God: sitting on the Throne with the heavenly Father.
And now, to sit at the right hand of Christ in His Kingdom is to sit with Christ on His Throne. And that is the promise that will be materialized in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ in the faithful and wise servant of Jesus Christ, which is the Angel of Jesus Christ, who at the Last Day will be giving spiritual food on time to all the sons and daughters of God.
“But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.”
In other words, that position is prepared by the heavenly Father to be given to someone; and, according to the divine promise, that position corresponds to the Two Olive Trees.
That’s why on Mount Transfiguration, where Christ showed His disciples the Coming of the Kingdom, the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom with His Angels, we find on either side of the Lord Moses and Elijah, one at the right hand and the other at the left (in other words, to the right and left); because those ministries will be in the glorious Millennial Kingdom operating on this Earth.
And those are the ministries that will be in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s why, notice: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
The Overcomer, who will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, will obtain the victory in the Last Day with his group, and they will be changed, and those who died will be resurrected, and we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
That’s why the elect will not be deceived, because Christ will be manifesting Himself through His Angel Messenger in the Age of the Cornerstone, and He will be calling and gathering His elect, and He will be placing them in the Age of the Cornerstone; and thus the elect of God will stand firm eating of the Tree of Life, eating of Christ, the Tree of Life, eating the Word of Christ, to live throughout eternity; and we will all obtain the great victory in divine love.
And now, we can see that all those promises: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne,” will be fully fulfilled at the Last Day and during the Millennial Kingdom in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will be the Overcomer of the Last Day with his group, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And the other promises will also be vivified, in other words, confirmed, materialized, in the Angel of Jesus Christ and His group of the Last Day.
And the promise that says: “…and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name,” will also be fulfilled in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; because with the manifestation of Christ in His Angel Messenger (which is the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant), Christ will come there, the Word, made flesh, and will come with a name that no one understands.
Everyone understands the name Jesus</em>; it means ‘Redeemer’, ‘Savior’; but for the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Stone not cut by hands, the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day in His last manifestation (which is the Coming of the Word, of the Angel of the Covenant, the Word becoming flesh), the Word, the Word made flesh, will have a New Name, a name that no one will understand.
Just as when Elijah’s ministry was on Earth for the first time: the veil of flesh was named Elijah, because the name of that ministry was in the veil of flesh.
And then, when Elijah’s ministry was manifested for the second time, Elijah’s ministry now had a new veil of flesh and had a new name, which was Elisha; because the name is always placed on the veil of flesh, in other words, on the garment of flesh that has that ministry.
And now, when Elijah’s ministry came for the third time, in his garment (that is, in the human garment) he also had a new name. The name of Elijah’s ministry manifested for the third time was John. John the Baptist was the Elijah to come at that time.
Because the name is always on the veil of flesh, in other words, on the garment of flesh where that ministry is.
And when Elijah’s ministry came for the fourth time, in his garment of human flesh he had a new name. What was the new name that Elijah’s ministry had in its fourth manifestation? William Marrion Branham.
And in the fifth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah, it will have the name pertaining to the garment of flesh where that ministry will be; and that will be the name of the faithful and wise servant, that will be the name of the Overcomer of the Last Day, that will be the name of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, that will be the name of the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And the ministry of Moses had a name in its first manifestation; that was Moses. Notice, there are two “s” as well.
Jesus also has two “s” (at least in Spanish).
And, now, Elijah has only one, Moses has two20.
And now, for the coming of the ministry of Moses for the second time, that ministry will come again in human flesh in a man of the Last Day, that ministry will have a new name: the name that has the garment of flesh where that ministry is. And that will be that Moses who would come as one of the Two Olives. And Elijah will also have the name relevant to his fifth manifestation, which will be the name of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
That is the name of the veil of flesh, of the garment that the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Elijah will have.
And the ministry of Jesus will be on Earth again, because it is the ministry of the Angel of the Covenant that will be manifested on Earth in the Last Day; and that ministry will be in a veil of flesh, it will be in a garment of flesh that will have a name. For our bodies, being our earthly garment of flesh, when our body is born then they go to the record and register a name for that veil of flesh.
And now, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant (which is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man), has a name in His garment:
“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
And King is not a name, King of kings is not a name, nor is Lord of lords a name; those are the titles that name will have, with which comes the King of kings and Lord of lords. And that name with which He will come will be the Eternal Name of God; because “I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God (…), and my new name.”
Well, we have seen this mystery, for in this Age of Philadelphia it even speaks to us of the name, therefore we had to speak of the Eternal Name of God and Name of the City of our God and New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be manifested at this end time, in a new dispensational day and in a new age, the Age of the Cornerstone.
Now, we have seen that Elijah’s name in his fifth manifestation and Moses’ name in his second manifestation and the name of the ministry of Jesus in His second manifestation will be the same name: it will be the Eternal Name of God, which will be written on the garment that the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 will have.
The Word will come, which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, the Word incarnated in a veil of flesh, incarnated in a garment of flesh; thus the Word will come, the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, in the Last Day; and His Name is the Word of God.
And now, when the Word of God came two thousand years ago, what was His name? Jesus; and for the Last Day, He says He has a new name. He will come with His New Name.
The Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which is the Word, that was with God and was God, and became flesh two thousand years ago), will become flesh again for this end time in a man of this end time: in the Angel of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; there He will come dressed in a new garment, clothed in human flesh; but that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ.
That Angel is not Elijah either and neither is he Moses; but the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ manifested in Holy Spirit, will be in that Angel operating the ministry of Moses for the second time, the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time and the ministry of Jesus for the second time.
That is the veil of flesh, that is the garment that the ministry of Moses will have, the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Jesus for this end time; and that’s why there, in that garment, the name pertaining to that manifestation of God for the Last Day will be written. Christ will be writing His Name, His New Name, in the Overcomer, who will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s why John wanted to worship him, because he even saw the New Name of the Lord and of the City of our God and of our God manifested there, in that garment of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19.
And with His Coming He will be protecting all the sons and daughters of God of this end time against all the cunningness of the serpent, the devil, who will also come incarnate, the devil in the antichrist, in the man of sin, in the beast at this end time.
Now, we have seen how, just as the tree of knowledge of good and evil and also the Tree of Life were in the Garden of Eden, for this end time they will also be in the final confrontation.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil (which is the devil) will be incarnated in the man of sin, in the antichrist; and the Tree of Life (which is Christ) will be made flesh in the Last Day in His Angel Messenger, in the faithful and wise servant, giving us His Word of eternal life, to eat of the Tree of Life and live eternally and be transformed at this end time.
Now, we have reached the greatest time of all times. We have reached the time where God’s firstborn, God’s elect, who are ordained to be transformed, can continue to live without seeing death by receiving a transformation of their bodies.
All those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and are ordained to be transformed without seeing death will receive that transformation, because they will be eating of the Tree of Life, which will be in the midst of His Church manifested in human flesh at this end time. And so all the sons and daughters of God will be PROTECTED AGAINST THE CUNNINGNESS OF THE SERPENT.
The Scripture says that when the enemy comes as a river (because he will come as a river), God will raise a flag against him. Isaiah, chapter 59, verse 17 to 21, of which Paul also quoted in Romans, chapter 11, verse 25 to 28. And that is for this end time.
God raising a flag against the devil is God raising the manifestation of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19; that is God raising a flag against the enemy. For what? For the protection of all the sons and daughters of God from among the gentiles and also from the Hebrew people.
And this is how we will be PROTECTED AGAINST THE CUNNINGNESS OF THE SNAKE.
The Church of Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone cannot be deceived, because she will have that manifestation of Christ. God said that He would raise a flag against the enemy, and that’s why the elect of God cannot be deceived in the Last Day.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you tonight testifying to you how God will be protecting His elect, His children, at this end time, against the cunningness of the serpent.
Here we are, in this end time, eating from the Tree of Life, eating the Word of Christ in His last manifestation, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, soon we will be transformed. When the very last of God’s elect enters, then we will be transformed.
Now, where are those who will be transformed in this time? Here we are tonight, gathered together eating the Word, eating the fruit of the Tree of Life; and soon we will be transformed. When the number of God’s elect is completed and the dead in Christ are resurrected, we will be transformed. It is a promise to us, to us in the Age of the Cornerstone.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Tree of Life, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, those blessings promised for this end time in the Age of the Cornerstone, be upon all of you and upon me also, and may we soon all be transformed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you testifying to you how we would be PROTECTED AGAINST THE CUNNINGNESS OF THE SERPENT.
I leave with us again Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin to continue and finish our part tonight by thanking Christ for His blessings.
May God bless and keep you all, and have a wonderful evening.
It will be until tomorrow, God willing, that I will be with you again in the morning activity. Tomorrow will be the only activity, because then we will be traveling; but we will be making good use of that activity. So eat a good breakfast, because we’ll maybe finish… What time will it be, Miguel, the activity? At 9:00. So we’ll be done by 2:00, right, Miguel? So have some breakfast to make it to about 2:00 in the afternoon; maybe we’ll finish sooner.
What will be the subject for tomorrow, Miguel? What will be the subject of tomorrow? “GOD LOOKING FOR HIS CHILDREN.”
Now can you see why His Message, His call, has gone out in Latin America and the Caribbean? Why would it be? Where would His firstborn children of the Last Day be? Tomorrow we will speak in more detail on that subject, but we can already see why His Message has come to us and why we have responded to His call, and in our soul we have said: “This is what I was waiting for!”, the call of our heavenly Father.
We’re going to leave it there, because that’s another subject, and we can’t…, what we have for tomorrow is already… we can’t talk about it tonight. Tomorrow, then, we will talk about “GOD LOOKING FOR HIS CHILDREN.”
Well, let’s ask Miguel, Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, to come this way, to continue and finish our part on this occasion.
May God bless you and keep you, and have a wonderful evening.
