Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren here in Jocotenango, Antigua Guatemala. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of fellowship around the Word of God relevant to this end time. For which we are going to read in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on, where it says:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject is: “STEADFAST WITH THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
In order to be steadfast with the Seventh Seal, we need to know what the Seventh Seal is, which, when it was opened in Heaven, it says there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
This Seventh Seal in the Book of Redemption is so important that it caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour; the cherubim, the seraphim, the archangels and all the heavenly hosts that worshipped God, stopped doing so, they remained silent in Heaven for about half an hour.
And remember, half an hour in Heaven represents quite a few years for human beings, because one day in Heaven: is a millennium for human beings here, in other words, one thousand years; for one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8 tells us. It says:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
And now, notice how important this Seventh Seal is, that even the heavenly hosts were silenced in Heaven because of the opening of the Seventh Seal in Heaven. In other words, in Heaven, no one knew, no one understood the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, for Christ Himself said that not even the angels knew when the day and the hour would be, nor any person; and He even said in Mark, chapter 13 (let us see)… Mark, chapter 13 (let us read it to see what it says here), it says… chapter 13, verse 26 and on says:
“And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.”
And now, notice how Jesus Christ Himself says that the heavenly Father is the only one who knows when the day and the hour will be; and He says that no one else knows when the day and the hour will be, not even the angels, not even the Son knows when the day and the hour will be. In other words, when Jesus Christ was there on Earth in those days, He did not know when the day and the hour would be. Once He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, from that point on, He did know when the day and the hour would be, but before His death on Calvary’s Cross and resurrection, He did not know when the day and the hour would be.
And now, notice, for the time of His Coming, the Coming of the Son of Man, what will be materializing on Earth? Well, in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, it says that He shall send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet and they shall gather together His elect; and this is for when the sign of the Son of Man is seen in Heaven. Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 31, says:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Here we can see what will be happening once the sign of the Son of Man is seen in Heaven.
And now, on February 28, 1963, a very important sign appeared in Heaven that we cannot overlook, because it is a very meaningful sign; and it was this sign of a cloud in the Arizona skies at a height of 26 miles, where clouds cannot form because there is no moisture.
And now, its size was 30 miles [48.3 kilometers] wide, it was a giant cloud; it was seen in the Arizona skies, it was also seen in New Mexico. And if we turn this cloud to the right, we will see the face of Jesus Christ formed by that cloud.
This cloud was formed by angels of God: the seven angel messengers of the seven gentile Church ages (which are Saint Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley and Reverend William Branham) and another Angel who was different from the rest, who is found here. He is this one flying here with His wings spread out, and these other ones are the seven angel messengers of the seven gentile Church ages.
And now, notice the mystery of this cloud: it was a cloud formed by angels.
And the Scripture says that the Son of Man will come with His Angels and it says He will come in a cloud, He will come in a cloud or in the clouds. In one of the gospels it says “in a cloud” and in the another of the gospels it says “in the clouds,” and they are both right because this cloud is formed by eight angel messengers in their theophanic bodies, and therefore, each one of them is a cloud that is altogether with the other clouds, the other angels; and that is why they form the face of the Lord.
But there are eight angels: seven are the seven messengers of the seven ages, and the other who is different from the rest is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the one who appeared to the prophet Moses and who delivered the Hebrew people, and who later spoke to the prophets of the Old Testament, and also the one who was made flesh and dwelt among human beings and was known by the name of Jesus.
That is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who was promised to come in human flesh, and for which He sent His forerunner John the Baptist before Him, preparing the way for Him according to Malachi, chapter 3, verse 1 to 2, and also to the prophecy of Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 3 and on.
Now, we can see that when John the Baptist was on Earth, by receiving the visit of some people sent by the Pharisees…, who asked him: “Who are you? Are you the prophet? Are you the Messiah? Are you Elijah?”; they began asking him and he would answer them: “No.”
—“Are you the Messiah?” John said: “No.”
—“Are you the prophet?” John said: “No.”
—“Are you Elijah?” John said: “I am not Elijah.”
And when they ask him: “Then who are you? Why are you baptizing? Who are you?, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us to you, to give them the answer of who you are. What do you say of yourself?” John said: “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, as the prophet Elijah said: Make straight the way of the Lord.” And those who were sent to John the Baptist were of the Pharisees1.
And now, notice how John identified himself in the Scripture and testified who he was.
And now, after John the Baptist, the Messiah would come, the Christ would come, (Christ means ‘Anointed One’, the one anointed with the Spirit of God), the Anointed One with the Spirit of God would come, who is this Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven.
The Messiah would be the man in whom the Angel of the Covenant would be dwelling in human flesh; and that is why John the Baptist announced that after him the Messiah would come, the Christ, the Anointed One, whose shoe’s latchet he was unworthy to unloose2.
Now, notice how in the time of Jesus, for His First Coming —which was the Seventh Seal of that time—, we find that many people were waiting for the Coming of the Messiah, but they had a different interpretation than how the First Coming of the Messiah was fulfilled. They were not expecting the Messiah to be a carpenter, they were not expecting the Messiah to be a construction worker, they were not expecting the Messiah to be a simple man, but to be a king who would appear on Earth and take the Throne of David, sit on the Throne of David and conquer the Roman empire, defeat it, and thus, the Kingdom of God would be established on Earth, and the Hebrew people would become the head of all the nations.
In other words, what they were waiting for was not according to what God had promised for that time, because the First Coming of the Messiah would be as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world; and the Scriptures that spoke about the Messiah as a Lamb being brought to the slaughter3 would be the ones fulfilled in the First Coming of Christ.
And notice, in the Old Testament, the First Coming of Christ and the Second Coming of Christ was prophesied; and there are prophecies that any person may think are only referring to one of them, but they are referring to (even in the same chapter), even in a same chapter sometimes it refers to the First Coming of Christ and the Second Coming of Christ; but they could not understand that mystery of the First and Second Coming of Christ.
Now, for the Last Day, we look throughout the biblical history and we can see that the Messiah was on Earth, who is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, this Angel who is up here, who delivered the Hebrew people; He is there in His theophanic body. And when this cloud appeared (and photographs of that cloud were taken and then published in North American magazines), the seventh angel messenger of the seventh gentile Church age was there, Reverend William Branham, who was caught up in spirit and placed there; he was there in his theophanic body, just as the other angels were there in their theophanic bodies.
And now, let us see what he said about these angels who were there; he said: “And did you notice…” Page 469 says4:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’ You remember that?
Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal…”
Which of those angels is the one with the Seventh Seal? This Angel who was different from the rest.
And in order for the Seventh Seal to be fulfilled here on Earth, to be opened as far as its fulfillment and then be revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ, this Angel must come manifested in human flesh at the Last Day; likewise, in order for these other angel messengers to have their ministries here on Earth among the Church of Jesus Christ, they had to come in human flesh; and when their time ended here, well, their physical bodies died, but they continued living: they went on to Paradise, where they have been reunited with their people, in other words, with the group of sons and daughters of God of the age in which they lived and to whom they were messengers. They are in Paradise with their people, the believers in Christ of their age.
And now, for the Last Day, the only ministry left is the one of the Angel of God, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who is the same Jesus Christ here in His theophanic body; and He must come veiled in human flesh, He must have a veil of flesh of this end time through whom He can manifest Himself and speak to His Church with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom on the Day of the Lord (which is the seventh millennium) and make known to Her all these things which must shortly come to pass, at this end time; so that the Seventh Seal may be fulfilled and the sons and daughters of God may be steadfast with the Seventh Seal, may be steadfast with the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ at the Last Day, veiled and revealed in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ spoke of this in the book of The Seven Seals, page 256, making reference to chapter 19 of Revelation, where Christ comes on a white horse; and he said5:
“But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
What will the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 be? It is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man of the Last Day, who must be a prophet; because the Word always comes to God’s prophets and all revelation must come to a prophet.
Now notice, this white horse Rider of Revelation 19 is the same Angel of the Covenant, Angel of God, Mighty Angel who descends in Revelation, chapter 10, of whom the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said on page 57 of the book of The Seals in Spanish6:
“‘I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…’
If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right…
‘…and his face… as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:’
You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel (in other words, to the Hebrew people). See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”
Now notice, who is the Messenger to Israel? This Angel who was different from the rest, He is the Angel of the Covenant, and He is directly coming to Israel; but His gentile Church is about to be raptured, therefore, He comes to His gentile Church, He visits His gentile Church; and that is God’s visitation to His people, to His Church, among the gentiles, that is the consolation of the heavenly Israel, of the Church of Jesus Christ. The consolation of the Church of Jesus Christ is the Second Coming of Christ, it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel who was different from the rest.
Now, the mystery is how He will come at this Last Day. He is the Angel of the Covenant, the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven, He is the Messenger to Israel, and He is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19; and that is the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man. That is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord.
And now, in the book of The Seals, page 131, it says7:
“And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.
It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding…There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’ Now, notice, ‘No man knowed, but Hisself.’
‘And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God.’
Oh, my! Notice!
‘And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’
Revelation 19:13-16.
There comes the Messiah. There He is.”
How does He come? On a white horse; that is where the Messiah comes, there He is, on that white horse. And that is the Coming of the Word: the Word, the Angel of the Covenant coming, the Angel of the Lord coming in human flesh at the Last Day; it is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man. That is the mystery of the Coming of the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven and the white horse Rider of Revelation 19.
Now, the veil of flesh in whom the Angel of the Covenant will be veiled and revealed through human flesh, that veil of flesh will not be the Lord Jesus Christ; he will only be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the prophet messenger of Jesus Christ for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and through the manifestation of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant (who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit), through human flesh, through His Angel Messenger, all the elect of God will be called and gathered together.
And now, as Mark said in our reading in chapter 13, verse 26 to 27, where it says: “And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory,” that is what happened on February 28, 1963. The Son of Man was seen there in His theophanic body, along with the theophanic bodies of the seven angel messengers of the seven gentile Church ages.
And now, what else does it say?
“And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”
In other words, first the ones from the uttermost part of the Earth are gathered, gathered together, which are the elect who will be living at the Last Day; and then, those who will be in Paradise will be gathered, that is, they will be brought back to Earth again in eternal bodies. In other words, it is a gathering of all of God’s elect of the Last Day under the ministry of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, veiled in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
It is a blessing for us who are alive and it is also a blessing for those who are in Paradise, because their time to live on Earth in mortal bodies already ended; but they will return in an eternal body, as God has promised in His Word.
In Hebrews and in First Corinthians, it tells us about God’s elect. In chapter 12 of Hebrews says that they are the firstborn written in Heaven, and they are written there in Heaven.
And now, in First Corinthians, chapter 15 and verse 49 and on, it says what God will do with His elect at the Last Day, with us who are alive and with those who have departed and are in Paradise; it says: chapter 15, verse 49 and on, of First Corinthians:
“And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (in other words, we will not all die)<em>; but we shall all be changed (that is, we will all have an eternal body, because we are going to receive a change),
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump…”
The Last Trumpet is the Great Voice of Trumpet with which God’s elect are called and gathered together; that Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom that revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, revolves around the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant coming veiled in human flesh. In other words, all the revelation of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of Jesus Christ veiled in human flesh at the Last Day, will be given to all the elect of God through the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
And what will happen? It says:
“…for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible…”
Meaning, the dead in Christ, once the Trumpet has sounded, has given everything it has to give, then the dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies; and we who are alive, what will happen to us? It says:
“…and we shall be changed.”
And where are the people who will be changed at this end time? Here we are, in Guatemala and in different parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. Hearing what? Where are those who will be hearing the Last Trumpet? Well, here we are, hearing the Last Trumpet, which is the Voice of Christ speaking to us through His Angel Messenger at the Last Day, speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet, in other words, with that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, thus revealing to us the mystery of His Coming veiled in human flesh at the Last Day.
That is the mystery of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God the deliverer of the Hebrew people; that Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant who delivered the Hebrew people and then brought them to the promised land and established them there.
And for this end time, He will call and gather together 144.000 Hebrews, and thus, the Hebrew people as a nation will turn to God, to Christ, and the Kingdom of God will be established among the Hebrew people.
But before that, among the gentiles, He would be calling and gathering together His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet under the ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man, which are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, in other words, the ministries of Moses and Elijah being manifested in human flesh in the same veil of flesh, the same Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the Angel of the Covenant will be manifested at this end time; and the Angel of the Covenant is the one who operates those ministries, because He is the only one who has ministries.
He is the one who manifested Himself in the prophets of the Old Testament and in the apostles as well; He manifested Himself in Jesus in all His fullness, in each angel messenger of each age, He manifested Himself in the portion pertaining to each age and at this end time He will be manifested in His Angel Messenger, in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
And just as He was calling and gathering together the elect of each age through His manifestation in the messenger of each age, in the Age of the Cornerstone He will also be calling and gathering together the elect of the Age of the Cornerstone; and just as every age was fulfilled in a particular territory appointed by God, the Age of the Cornerstone will also be in fulfillment in a particular territory chosen by God since before the foundation of the world.
And which is that territory where the Age of the Cornerstone will be in fulfillment and the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet will be calling and gathering together God’s elect? Well, it is our territory, the Latin American and Caribbean territory, so that God’s elect of the Last Day may be how? Steadfast with the Seventh Seal, steadfast with the Second Coming of Christ, steadfast with the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord.
And by being steadfast with the Seventh Seal, well, we will be steadfast with the First Coming of Christ and with His Second Coming; because we do not disregard the First Coming of Christ, the First Coming of the Angel of the Covenant who came in human flesh in the veil of flesh called Jesus and carried out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross, from which we have received the blessing of salvation and all the other blessings contained in the redemption Christ carried out on Calvary’s Cross.
And now, He gives us another portion, He gives us the double portion: at this end time, He gives us His Second Coming, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, veiled in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, revealing to us all these mysteries of this Last Day; and thus, revealing to us the mystery of His Coming at this end time to His Church in human flesh, in a veil of flesh of this end time.
Because the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says that the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 will be the Coming of the Holy Spirit. But how will the Holy Spirit come? He will come in human flesh.
In other words, the Angel of the Covenant, this Angel of the Lord… Just as the other angel messengers (who are here in their theophanic bodies) were made flesh and came in a body of flesh in order to have their ministries, each one at the time in which they were given to live, now, in order for this Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord (which is Jesus Christ in His theophanic body), to have His ministry of the Last Day promised for the end time, He must come veiled in a body of human flesh, in a veil of flesh redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, in a man redeemed by the Blood of Christ.
And now notice, that is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. On page 256 of the book of The Seals, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says:
“But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
It is the Coming of the Word in human flesh at this end time. But that veil of flesh is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only a man of this end time, a prophet messenger of this end time, the prophet messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the prophet messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone; and through that prophet messenger, called “the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ” in the Scripture…, of whom Christ says: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” (Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16).
Of whom He also says [Revelation 22:6]: “And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
To show unto His servants what things? The things which must shortly be done, which are the things of which Christ said in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1: “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” The things which must be after the ones that have already happened in the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.
Now, the things which must be done after the ones that have already happened are the ones that will happen in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
And the territory for the Age of the Cornerstone to be fulfilled is Latin America and the Caribbean; this is a mystery that was hidden under the Seventh Seal. And each one of you, Latin American and Caribbean people, were in and under the Seventh Seal, therefore, you are part of the mystery of the Seventh Seal.
How, when and to whom will He come and in which territory will the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 come? That was a mystery under the Seventh Seal that had not been opened in the past ages because it will be opened in the territory and to the people where that mystery will be fulfilled.
And now, the people of that territory, who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world, would see His Coming and would understand His Coming, because He would open the mystery of His Coming to them and would speak to them through the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; He would speak to them, He would reveal that mystery to them; and thus, He would open our understanding in our soul and in our mind, and then, the Scriptures would be opened, revealed to us; and then, from the depths of our heart, of our soul, the cry would be: “I see it, I understand it. This is what I was waiting for!” Because this is what God promised for the Last Day, for this end time: the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant. That is His Coming: the Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant veiled in human flesh in a man of this end time.
But that man is not the Lord Jesus Christ, but in that man will be the Angel who was different from the rest, the Angel with the Seventh Seal, which is the Angel of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ in His theophanic body; and He will take a body of flesh of this end time, a veil of flesh, to use it and reveal Himself to His Church at this end time; because His glorified body is on the Throne of God in Heaven.
He said that He sat on the Throne of God, at the right hand of God8</a>; and He is there making intercession for all the sons and daughters of God until the very last of God’s elect comes in; and when the last of God’s elect comes in, the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ will be completed, which is His Church, which will be completed in the Age of the Cornerstone.
Up here is where the Mystical Body of Christ is completed; and the Age of the Cornerstone is where Christ is speaking to the Latin American and Caribbean people, because that age is fulfilled among the Latin American and Caribbean people. So notice with whom the Mystical Body of Christ is completed at this end time: with Latin American and Caribbean people.
And there, notice, we will have all the colors there, all the colors will be there. Why? Because some have cinnamon skin color, others are lighter and others are darker; but all of those sons and daughters of God are the elect of the Last Day who would hear the Voice of Christ, who would see His Coming, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant veiled in human flesh and revealed through human flesh, testifying to us all these things which must shortly be done; and that is how He would be calling and gathering together all of God’s elect of the Last Day.
Therefore, we can see that Latin America and the Caribbean is the territory that is filled with God’s elect at this Last Day, and that is why Jesus Christ sends His Angel Messenger to that territory to give testimony of all these things which must shortly be done.
And thus, just as the elect of the Last Day were steadfast with Christ manifested in the angel messenger of each age, the elect of the Last Day will also be steadfast with Christ, with the Seventh Seal, at this end time, in the Latin American and Caribbean territory. And if one of them has gone to another nation seeking a better job or better living conditions or education, the Message will also reach him all the way over there, because God will not lose any of His elect. But where will the majority be? In Latin America and the Caribbean.
May God also help those who are in other nations, may the Message reach them and may the spiritual food always reach them on time. With the advantages we have nowadays, there is no problem for them to receive the food on time, as God gives us the spiritual food for all of God’s elect.
Now, we can see that we have reached the time in which the Church of Jesus Christ would stand firm with the Seventh Seal, would stand firm with the Second Coming of Christ, which will be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19; of which the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said on page 166 of the book of Quotations in Spanish, where we have an excerpt of this message, “God’s Only Provided Place of Worship”; here we have verse 1485, which says:
“Now, there’s… I was… getting pretty old, and I thought, ‘Will I… Will there be another revival…?’”
In other words, another spiritual awakening, like these that have happened in the different stages or ages in which God has sent a messenger.
And if God is going to give His people a revival, a spiritual awakening, He must have a messenger and He must have an age and He must have a dispensation where that revival takes place. The seven great revivals or awakenings of the Church of Jesus Christ have occurred during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, in the territories where those ages have been fulfilled.
And now, brother Branham asks himself: “Will there be another one?” Of course there is: it is in the Age of the Cornerstone. And now, let us see how that revival, that awakening will come to God’s elect. He says:
“And just remember, from the west…”
Which is the West? That is the occident. The East is over there where the land of Israel is, and it is located in the Middle East.
And now, “as the lightning cometh out of the east (the land of Israel) and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.9” Other gospels say: “Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed10,” in other words, He will reveal Himself, He will make Himself known.
And now, where will the promise of the revelation or manifestation of the Son of Man be at the Last Day? It will be in the West, which is the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
The West also covers North America, it is the American Continent with the Caribbean, but the seventh age of the gentile Church was already fulfilled in the North American part; and now only Latin America and the Caribbean are left for the fulfillment of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, for the fulfillment of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, coming veiled in human flesh and revealed through human flesh.
And now, where will this white horse Rider come from? It says:
“…from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again.”
Now notice, Elijah, the ministry of Elijah, is already being prepared to ride the ministerial trail again, but who will he ride it with? With the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, he will ride it with the Word incarnate in a man; and the Word incarnate in that man of the Last Day will have Elijah, the ministry of Elijah manifested there, and It will also have the ministry of Moses manifested and It will also have the ministry of Jesus manifested.
Now notice, it says (let us read it again, it says):
“…from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride, (in other words, we’ll ‘go through’) this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”
And if it is a promise, it must be here in the Word; and it is in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 to 21; and that is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who was different from the rest, that is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, the Word incarnate in a man, in a man of this end time, who must be from the West, in other words, from the continent that pertains to the West of the Earth, and that is the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
And now, let us see something else about the ministry of Elijah on page 399 of the book of The Seals in Spanish. They asked him about Elijah, who will preach to the Hebrew people; that is the manifestation of the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time. And when he says here: “We’ll ride this trail, this path again,” if he rides it again, he will ride it for the fifth time.
And now, on page 399 of the book of The Seals, in this section “Questions and Answers,” question number 11, it says the following:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews, the real man who lived on earth, in the days of Ahab, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?
(The answer was):
I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men (From which time? From this time) of their spirit (a man of this end time anointed with that ministering spirit of Elijah). Because, see, he says, when Elijah was caught up and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, they said: ‘Does not… on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did.”
And now, notice how the ministry of Elijah was working, bringing the revelation of the Word: it brought the revelation of six Seals; but the Seventh Seal remains, and he said that would be later on, that would be when our Lord appears on Earth. Let us see. On page 482 and 483 says11:
“So we see that It is a complete mystery (referring to the Seventh Seal), so we see that It is a complete mystery, therefore the hour is not yet for the mystery to be known. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride…”
And how did brother Branham say Jesus will appear on Earth?
“…but when our Lord (Jesus Christ) appears here on Earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
When Jesus Christ appears, the Word, the Word incarnate in a man at the Last Day, that is when the mystery of the Seventh Seal (which is the mystery of His Coming) will be opened to all the sons and daughters of God; in other words, the mystery of the Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, coming veiled in human flesh at the Last Day. That is the Word incarnate in a man.
When the Word comes incarnate in a man, that is where the Seventh Seal is fulfilled and is opened to the Church of Jesus Christ by Christ through that veil of flesh, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, whom He will be using at this Last Day.
But that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only His prophet messenger for the Age of the Cornerstone, which is an eternal age, and that is why he comes preaching the Eternal Gospel; and he also comes as the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and that is why he comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. He comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Eternal Gospel for all human beings who live on this planet Earth.
And the revelation of the Seventh Seal will be with that Message and in that Message, the revelation of His Coming, the revelation of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest veiled in human flesh in the Angel of Jesus Christ and revealed through that Angel Messenger, carrying out the things He would do at this end time; and that is the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal.
And God’s elect will be seeing the Seventh Seal fulfilled, because they will be receiving the revelation of the Seventh Seal through the Angel of Jesus Christ, who will be preaching the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest.
And that is how God’s elect of the Last Day will see the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit veiled and revealed in His Angel Messenger at the Last Day, so that they may be called and gathered together in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom and be prepared to be changed at this end time.
Notice, that is how one receives the faith, the revelation to be changed at this end time, that is how one receives the rapturing faith at this end time.
And page 128 of the book of The Seals says12:
“Oh, my! Seven Thunders, of Revelation, may He show the Bride how to prepare for the great translation faith (that rapturing faith).”
And what is it that shows her that mystery? The seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10. What is revealed by the seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, which is the Voice of Christ speaking? The mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming.
Christ speaking as when a lion roars and the Seven Thunders uttering their voices, which is the Voice of Christ speaking as a Lion, what do they reveal? The mystery of His Coming. And the revelation of His Coming is the revelation for us to be changed and raptured at this end time; that is the rapturing faith, the rapturing revelation that the Church of Jesus Christ, the Bride of Jesus Christ will be waiting for at this end time.
Without that revelation, no one can be changed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, no one can be raptured or translated to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And for this end time, God would have a group of human beings, called the elect of God, who would see His Coming, hear His Voice (the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom) and obtain the revelation of His Coming; and thus, they would obtain the revelation, the faith to be changed at this end time, and then, taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.
The elect of the Last Day will be how? STEADFAST WITH THE SEVENTH SEAL, steadfast with the Son of Man coming with His Angels at this end time; they will be steadfast with the Angel who was different from the rest, veiled in human flesh and revealed in human flesh, through human flesh, through His Angel Messenger.
“STEADFAST WITH THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
Now, where are the people who would see His Coming and be steadfast with the Seventh Seal at the Last Day? Well, here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean. There is a group of us here in the Republic of Guatemala, and in the different Latin American and Caribbean countries, there is a group of believers; in other words, there are groups of believers who would be steadfast with the Seventh Seal at this end time; in other words, they will be steadfast with the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work, Christ coming, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel who was different from the rest coming, veiled in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.
It has been a great privilege to be with you, testifying to you about the Seventh Seal, about what the Seventh Seal is, and how to be STEADFAST WITH THE SEVENTH SEAL.
May the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and upon myself as well, and soon, may the number of God’s elect be completed and soon, may we all be changed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
God bless you and keep you all.
