Good morning, kind friends and brethren present and listeners. It is a great blessing and privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship around the Divine Program relevant to this end time, and thus to have a conversation with you about all the Divine Program that God has promised to carry out in this end time, according to the book of Revelation and other prophecies of the Old Testament and New Testament.
For which we will have as our topic: “THE BATTLE OF THE SEVENTH SEAL IN THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
For which I want to read in the book of Revelation and also in the book or letter of the apostle Saint Paul to the Corinthians, in his first letter, chapter 15, verse 42 to 58. We first read First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses…, let’s read verses 49 to 56, where it says:
“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 (he is going to speak about a mystery of the Kingdom of God; he says)<em>; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
And Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 to 5, 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.”
We find in these two passages: In Revelation the Seventh Seal being opened in Heaven, which is the Second Coming of Christ; and in First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58, we find the mystery of the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, where Saint Paul tells us that the Last Trumpet will sound and then the resurrection of the dead will come and the transformation of us who are alive, where we will obtain a total victory because we will obtain physical immortality as well.
Our topic is: “THE BATTLE OF THE SEVENTH SEAL IN THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
The mystery of the Seventh Seal is the greatest mystery of the Heavens and the Earth, of which Christ —talking about this mystery of the Second Coming of Christ— said that neither in Heaven nor on Earth, nobody knew when the day and hour would be; and He said: “Not even the angels know, nor even the Son knows when it will be.1”
So even Jesus Christ Himself, humanly speaking, didn’t know when the Coming of the Son of Man would be at the Last Day, because God had not yet made Jesus aware of the mystery of the Second Coming as to when the day and hour of the Second Coming of Christ would be. He didn’t know in what century the Second Coming would be, but He knew that the Coming of the Son of Man would be fulfilled in the end time, and He prophesied of the Coming of the Son of Man for the end time; and we find some prophecies of Jesus, the great prophet of Nazareth, in Matthew, chapter 16, verses 27 to 28, where it says… let’s see here… let’s begin on verse 24 so that you have a clearer picture; it says:
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
And then, in chapter 17, verse 1 and on, of Matthew, it says:
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead (it was a vision that Christ gave to His disciples there).
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
In this passage of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 1 to 13, we have the vision of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels coming in the Kingdom of His Father. Remember that this is a vision which contains all the elements that will be manifested in the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in the Kingdom of His Father. Everything is shown there in that vision, everything is in miniature there, to be fulfilled at the Last Day.
And now, we have the promise that the Coming of the Kingdom of God, with the Son of Man coming with His Angels, will be fulfilled in the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium; because “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day,” says Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90, verse 4, says, which is a psalm of the prophet Moses.
One day before God is a thousand years for human beings; and when Jesus spoke of the Last Day He is speaking of the last millennium, where Christ will carry out the resurrection of the dead in Christ. The promise is in John, chapter 6, verses 39 to 40, where it says:
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
That is a promise of Christ to be fulfilled in the Last Day.
Also in John, chapter 11, verses 21 and on, it says:
“Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
This was what Jesus had taught in chapter 6 of John: That in the resurrection He would resurrect all the saints believers in Him, and that would be for the Last Day; and Martha knew the teaching of Jesus, of the resurrection of the saints in Christ to be resurrected (when?) at the Last Day.
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
She saith unto him (Martha), Yea, Lord (she believed what Jesus said to her): I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”
Now see the divine revelation that Martha had regarding Jesus of Nazareth: She knew that He was the Son of God; she knew (Martha) that her brother Lazarus would resurrect because he was a believer in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and she knew that the resurrection would be for the Last Day, of all believers in Christ, because Christ had made the promise for all believers saying: “… and I will raise him up at the last day.”
But in Lazarus’ case, Christ is placing Lazarus as a type and figure of all believers in Him who will be resurrected at the Last Day if their physical bodies have died; and if their physical bodies have not died, but are alive, and see the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels and then see the dead in Christ resurrected, those people will be transformed: Their bodies will be changed in their atoms, and then they will have an eternal body, a new body, like that of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, as well as the saints that will be resurrected will have an eternal body.
But Christ will take as type and figure, as a symbol of the dead in Christ who will resurrect at the Last Day, He will place Lazarus as an example, to show that it is Christ who will resurrect the believers in Him who have died, just as He will resurrect Lazarus as an example that He has that power to carry out that resurrection at the Last Day.
And now, He takes Lazarus as an example, who had slept, Jesus said; but in the way of speaking of human beings it is said: “He has died”; but for the sons and daughters of God it is said: “He has slept,” because the children of God don’t die, because they have eternal life.
The physical body only sleeps or dies, but in the Last Day the dead in Christ shall rise in eternal bodies. They are only sleeping until that time comes, the physical part of the person sleeping; but they will wake up in an eternal body, they will wake up to this reality that we live here on Earth, because they will come from the sixth dimension (from the dimension where they are in their theophanic bodies), they will come, they will return, they will resurrect in an eternal body that Christ will give them; and then they will be with us again here on Earth, all those from different stages or ages of the Church of Jesus Christ, they will be with us in this end time, and we who live will be transformed.
Now, when we say “we who are alive will be transformed and the dead in Christ will be resurrected,” it refers to people who have believed in Christ as their Savior, have washed away their sins in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, and have received the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and therefore have obtained the new birth, have been born again, have been born into the Kingdom of God.
Christ speaking of the new birth, which places the person in the Kingdom of God, said to Nicodemus, when Nicodemus visited Him at night; it says this way, John, chapter 3, verse 1 and on:
“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (in other words, he can’t understand it).
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
Neither Nicodemus nor any other human being can be amazed that one needs to be born again to enter the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of the Heavens, because every person needs to believe in Christ as his Savior, wash his sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit; and this is how the new birth takes place in the person, and thus he is born in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Church of Jesus Christ, and thus he is born in the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of the Heavens, and becomes part of that Mystical Body of believers called the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If that person dies, as to his physical body, he has no problem, because that person already has eternal life when he believed in Christ, that person received eternal life, and therefore he is already an immortal person; but his physical body is mortal, and therefore his physical body dies; but the person continues to live in soul and spirit, because he has a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, which is similar to this body that we have here on Earth, but it is a body of another dimension: Of the sixth dimension.
And the person, if his physical body dies, he goes to live in that theophanic body, he goes to Paradise to live; until the time comes for the resurrection of the dead in Christ, where that person or those people will return, and they will take on a new body, an eternal body; not the same body that they had when they lived here on Earth, because the body that we have obtained through birth through our earthly parents is a mortal, corruptible and temporary body.
That is why an eternal body is required in order to live eternally; for flesh and blood can’t inherit incorruption, nor can flesh and blood inherit the Kingdom of God.
We will be in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ, reigning with Him as kings and priests, when we are in the new body; but in this mortal body we have to be living on this planet Earth like other human beings, and having an earthly job like other human beings: The one that the person chooses or the one that the person can obtain here on Earth, according to his economic and social condition.
Now, we can see that what we work on here on Earth is of no great importance, as long as it is honest work and we can be faithful to Christ even in our job. Every person must have a job, but let it be an honest job, a job that is in accordance with the laws of the country where he lives; he must not get involved in dubious business, which is outside the law of his country.
Now, according to the earthly life, we live here on this Earth being in this mortal, corruptible and temporary body; but when we have the new body, then we will be in the position and function of kings and priests with Christ, in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And before that glorious Millennial Kingdom comes, which will be after the great tribulation, where the divine judgments will be poured out on Earth, before that we obtain that glorious eternal body, even before the great tribulation; and we will be here on Earth in that body for 30 or 40 days, and then we will go to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In other words, the rapture or catching away of God’s elect, of the Church of Jesus Christ, will be in eternal bodies.
No person can be raptured and taken to the Marriage of the Lamb being in the mortal, corruptible and temporary body; he needs a new body, he needs to be clothed in the garment of the new body in order to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. We will receive that new body while we are here on Earth, when we see the dead in Christ resurrected in eternal bodies.
Now, before the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive, the apostle Saint Paul says that the Trumpet will sound, the Last Trumpet.
And now, it is important to know what the Last Trumpet is, which will be sounding at the Last Day, at the time where the dead in Christ are to be resurrected and we who are alive are to be transformed.
In order to understand what the Last Trumpet is, we have to go to the Scriptures; and we go to Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, where the apostle Saint John says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day…”
Where was John? To what time was John transported? To the Lord’s Day. The Lord’s Day is the seventh millennium; that is the Last Day, that is the Day of the Lord.
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet (What did he hear? A great voice like a trumpet),
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
John the apostle, being transported in spirit (that is, in his theophanic body) to the Lord’s Day (that is, to the seventh millennium), he heard a great voice as of a trumpet speaking to him, and said: “I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.” It is the Voice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ speaking in the Last Day and identifying Himself as the same one who was in a body of human flesh two thousand years ago.
And now, He will be on Earth again for the Last Day, in the midst of His Church, speaking to His Church with that Great Voice of Trumpet.
And now, we find it again in Revelation, chapter 4 and verse 1, where John says:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
Now, we have the invitation of Christ speaking with that Voice of Trumpet: It is the Voice of Christ speaking with that Voice of Trumpet in the Last Day and inviting us to come up where He is: “Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must be hereafter.”
Christ has been in His Church from age to age, manifested through the messenger of each age, Christ in Holy Spirit anointing the messenger of each age and speaking through the messenger of each age during these seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.
In the first age of the Church of Jesus Christ among the gentiles Christ was in Holy Spirit manifested in Saint Paul. Saint Paul said: “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.2” It was Christ in Saint Paul speaking in that first stage or age of the gentile Church, which was fulfilled in Asia Minor.
It was the same one who appeared to Moses in that Pillar of Fire3</sup>; now He had appeared to Saul of Tarsus on the way to Damascus, in that same Light or Pillar of Fire (which is a light stronger than sunlight), and He said to Saul of Tarsus: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the pricks.” And Saint Paul, knowing that it was the Voice of the same one who had spoken to Moses there on Mount Sinai, said to Him: “Lord, who are you?4”; for that was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as He had said to Moses.
And now Saul wants to know who He is because He tells him that he is persecuting Him, and Saul is persecuting the Christians, the believers in Jesus Christ; because Saul was a very jealous man of his religion, and he was even willing to kill anyone for defending his religion.
As there are also many people who go to the extremes, they even go to fanaticism, and even dare to kill anyone else; and then they find themselves in the position of criminals in the presence of God, they find themselves in the position that Cain found himself in when he killed his brother Abel5</sup>; and then they find themselves with their hands stained with blood, with the blood of their brothers; and then they will have to give an account to God, because the blood of their brothers cries out before the presence of God.
And now, you see how people who go to religious extremes make serious mistakes, for which they will later have to give account to God.
Now, notice how in the time of Jesus and even the Old Testament prophets, when God sent a prophet, they were persecuted and even killed most of the time.
We find that Moses, the same people he brought out of Egypt, wanted to kill their prophet Moses on ten occasions6</sup>; not all the people, but people who rose up against Moses and wanted to be leaders too, and raised the people against the prophet Moses; and they said it was better to return to Egypt than to continue on that path to the promised land through the wilderness, where there were so many difficulties.
On the Christian trajectory towards the immortality that Christ has promised we have a road full of many difficulties, many trials along the way; but look, all those trials and those difficult situations are because we are still in these mortal bodies.
And since everything works out for good, we find that people, when things are good, they thank God and say: “I serve God because He blesses me; He prospers me materially and gives me so many things that I serve God.” But now, what if instead of having all those material blessings, trials come to him like to Job?
Job was a rich man and the devil said, about Job, he said to God: “Job serves You because You have him well, You have blessed him greatly, and so, anyone serves God, so anyone serves You. Let me take away all his goods, and You will see that he will cease to serve You.7”
God has confidence in His children. God knows that a son or daughter of God serves God whether or not he or she has earthly comforts, serves God whether or not he or she has earthly goods. A son or daughter of God serves God in good times and also bad times.
And the devil said that this was not so. And God allowed him to take away all the goods… The devil said: “Let me take away all goods, and You will see that he will deny You.” He said: “You can take away all his goods, but don’t touch his soul.” He took away all his goods, and even took away his children; and what Job said was, when he was told that he had lost all his goods and that he had lost his children also, Job said: “God gave and God took away; may the Name of the Lord, Name of God be blessed.”
A son or daughter of God can have many economic advantages, and all of a sudden he or she loses them, and says: “May the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ be blessed. I will continue to serve my Lord Jesus Christ”; because a child of God serves God as either poor or rich. There is no difference to serve God.
And family members of his may die, or his parents, or one of his children, or all of his children, and the son of God or daughter of God says: “God gave, God took away; and He took them from me, but He took them to a better place. He took them to Paradise! They will no longer have to suffer here in the struggles of this earthly life. So they are safe there, and I will see them again in the resurrection. May the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ be blessed!” And he or she continues onward in their Christian life.
He doesn’t say: “Lord, why did You take them away from me?! And being that You gave me these children, why did they die this way?!” He doesn’t start fighting with God.
“Lord, You gave me these children, and now You are taking them away, and You have them better there. You are taking them to Paradise from me, to spend a vacation there until the resurrection occurs; and You will send them back to me in a new body, where they will have no troubles, in an immortal body. But I will go on, I will wait for them when they return, and I will have an eternal body as well.” See? So there is no problem. “God gave and God took away.”
Now, we can see that everything works together for good, says the apostle Saint Paul, it works together for good for God’s elect. Where is that written? In Romans, chapter 8, the apostle Saint Paul says, who had great experiences, who lost his position in the Sanhedrin Council, he lost his position with the Hebrew religion under the Law, and everything worked together for good: He became a more important person than he was there with the Hebrew religion, there in the Sanhedrin: He became the great apostle of Jesus Christ of the gentiles for the first gentile Church age, he became the angel messenger of the first gentile Church age; and in the glorious Millennial Kingdom he will have a very important position.
And now, the high priest in Saint Paul’s time, notice, he was the most important person in the midst of the Hebrew people, and he didn’t lose that position in the midst of the Hebrew people, but he has nothing for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
So, you see, Paul lost everything, but he gained the most important position that any man could gain in those days among the gentiles, in the first age of the gentile Church: The highest position was to be the angel messenger of that first age.
Just as Saint Peter was the messenger for the group of the Hebrews there in the land of Israel, who believed the Message of Jesus Christ. He was the highest leader of the Hebrew group there, believers in Jesus Christ; although the pillars of the Hebrew Church or the Church among the Hebrews, as we see in the book of Acts, was Jacob (James) and also John.
But now, we can see that Saint Paul obtained the highest position among the gentiles that a human being could attain in the presence of God; so it has been for every angel messenger that God has sent in every age, both from the seven ages of the gentile Church and from the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, Saint Paul says, in Romans, chapter 8, verse 28 and on, he says… Chapter 8, verses 14 to 18, he says:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
You see, God left a portion of sufferings, of afflictions, for the elect of God, the members of the Mystical Body of Christ. That is why he says:
“…if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
The coming glories that are going to be manifested in us when we have the new body, notice, is or are so great that we can’t compare the sufferings that we have here on Earth in this mortal body, we can’t compare them with the coming glories that are going to be manifested in us when we have the new body: We will be kings and priests in the glorious Kingdom of Jesus Christ; and there is no higher position than that in the glorious Kingdom of Jesus Christ, in that glorious Millennial Kingdom; and we will be with Him there.
No money in the world can get you that blessing, that position. It has been given by grace to all the sons and daughters of God who have believed in Christ as their Savior, and have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ, and have received His Holy Spirit; and therefore they have been born again and have obtained a new body, a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and at the Last Day they will also obtain a physical body, and eternal, in which we will live for all eternity.
Now, it goes on to say in the same chapter 8, verse 28 and on:
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
Now, you see, we have been predestined to be in the image and likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ; to have a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, a theophanic spirit like that of Christ, and also to have a glorified body like that of Jesus Christ, and all be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and He be in us and with us, and among us, as our elder brother.
Saint Paul says:
“…that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
He is our elder brother; that is why He obtained His theophanic body before us, and He obtained His physical and eternal body before us.
Our souls come from God, they are eternal; we were always with God, eternally. Those souls are the sons and daughters of God, they are eternal souls.
The human being is soul, spirit and body. The most important thing about a person is his soul. That is why Jesus says8: “What is a man profited, if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Why? Because his soul is what the person really is.
The physical body is only a house, that is, an earthly garment; and the spirit that the person receives when he is born is another body of another dimension. That is, the person has two bodies: He has an inner body and an outer body. The inner body is called “the inner man,” and the outer body is called “the outer man”; and within that inner body is the soul of the person.
The soul of a person comes from God if he is a son of God or a daughter of God. Christ said9: “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not sow shall be cut down, rooted out, and cast into the fire.”
And now, see how all these souls that come from God have the promise of redemption. Christ came for them in His First Coming as the Lamb of God, to die on Calvary’s Cross and shed His Blood for us, and with His Blood to cleanse us from all sin; and thus be justified with God, as if we had never sinned before, and thus be restored to eternal life.
That is why He gives us a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, that is the new inner man; and then He will give us, at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, a new outer body, which will be the glorified body and will be eternal, in which we will live for all eternity.
We will live there, within that physical and eternal and glorified body, with our inner body, in other words, with our inner spirit: The spirit, which is a body of the sixth dimension, which we received when we believed in Christ as our Savior and have washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ. And there, within that theophanic body placed within the physical body, there will be our soul living; for we are living souls of God, living on this planet Earth in mortal bodies, but soon we will be in an immortal body, according to Christ’s promise.
Now, as we live in this mortal body we occupy our place in the Kingdom of God, in the Program of God. We have come to Earth to occupy our position, to take our position in the Program of God, and thus be sealed in the Kingdom of God with the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, for the day of redemption, in other words, for the day when our physical body will obtain redemption, in other words, it will obtain the transformation if we are alive; and if our physical body died, then the person will be resurrected in a new body, in an eternal body.
And to obtain that eternal body, where we will have immortality, is to obtain the redemption of the body. And we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption: For the day when Christ will give the new body to us who are living, and to the dead in Christ by resurrecting them in the new body He will also give them the new body. And so physically we will all be redeemed and we will be with God, with Christ, for all eternity; and therefore physically too, our body will be a body that will be reconciled with God.
Now, while we are in this physical, mortal, corruptible and temporary body, we go through different difficulties, different trials on Earth, we go through different sufferings; and this is that we are suffering with Christ, to reign with Christ during the Millennial Kingdom. “If we suffer with Him, we will reign with Him.10”
Now, why do we suffer? Why do we go through different difficulties?
This is just as it happened to the Hebrew people, who were delivered by God through the prophet Moses; and in order to reach the promised land, the land of Israel, they had to spend a season of forty years crossing the wilderness. And that wilderness, from Egypt to the land of Israel, would be crossed in a few days (less than a year); but, look, they had to be in the wilderness for forty years for a divine purpose. What was that divine purpose? In Deuteronomy, chapter 8, verse 1 and on, it says the reason; it says:
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.”
In other words, so that what was inside the hearts of the people would come out and show if they were going to serve God all the days of their lives, things being good or things being in difficult situations.
Because when there is abundance people are very happy because God has blessed them; but when there is scarcity, people protest against God (some)… Thus happened with the Hebrew people: They protested against Moses and against God and against Aaron; and on ten occasions they almost stoned Moses, their dispensational prophet messenger.
And now, let’s see all that it says here; it says:
“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live (that is, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord, from the mouth of God).
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.”
That is, as we would say in our time: Not even a callus on the little finger came out to those who for forty years walked through the desert; God even watched over the feet of all the Hebrew people; but when they rebelled against God, then the divine judgment fell against those people.
“Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.”
Here, notice how God speaks to the Hebrew people: As a father speaks to his child; and shows him that he will be His heir, but that he has to behave well every day of his life while he is going through those stages as a child, as a young man too (the stage of his youth)…
The stage of the youth of the Hebrew people as a nation was in the wilderness, where God was educating the Hebrew nation in that children’s stage of the Hebrew people, of Israel; because God says in His Word: “Train up a child in his career, and even when he is old (that is, when he is an adult) he will not depart from it.11”
And see how God was instructing His people Israel, His son Israel or Jacob, instructing him, to then adopt him as the only nation of which God says He is their God, the only nation on planet Earth that has the Birthright as a nation; and therefore has the promise to be adopted as the head nation of all nations: As the nation where the Throne of the Messiah will be, the Throne of the King of the entire planet Earth, which will be the King of Israel; and it will be the Son of David and Son of Man sitting on the Throne of David. In other words, the Throne of the King of the entire Earth will be the Throne of David, where the Messiah promised to the Hebrew people will sit; and Jerusalem will be the capital of the world, and the territory of Israel will be the Federal District.
Jerusalem, notice, is the City of Peace; although it has not had peace for thousands of years because of wars, because of the conflicts that are in that territory, but during the Millennial Kingdom the name “Jerusalem” will be honored with peace in Jerusalem and in all the territory of Israel. That will be in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And so it will give honor to its name: Jerusalem; and there will be peace, and from Jerusalem peace will go out to the whole world; and the teaching, both religious and economic, and all other branches of the daily life of society will come forth from Jerusalem12. All teaching —for humanity to be filled with knowledge— will be from Jerusalem, from the capital.
Just as from the capital comes out, of every nation, what comes out? All teaching comes out: All the laws and teachings for the nation, for every nation; so will all teaching and laws and statutes come out for the whole world, in the religious as well as in the social, in all other fields, in the political and in all other fields of the human race, during the Millennial Kingdom.
In other words, the Department of Education, where will it be? In Jerusalem. The Department of Justice, where will it be? In Jerusalem. The Department of Commerce, where will it be? In Jerusalem. The Department of Religion, where will it be? In Jerusalem.
And the King of the whole planet Earth, where will He be? In Jerusalem. And the High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek, where will He be? In Jerusalem as well, which is Christ, Melchizedek, the King of kings and Lord of lords. The Melchizedek, who is King of Peace and King of Jerusalem (King of Salem), and Priest of the Most High God of the Temple that is in Heaven, will be on Earth in Jerusalem, upon the Throne of David.
Now we can see the great blessing that the Hebrew people have to be manifested, to be fulfilled at the Last Day, in other words, in the Lord’s Day, which is the seventh millennium.
The earthly Israel has a great blessing from God: It has the blessing of being the only nation (remember well, the only nation) that has the Birthright before God, to be the head nation, with a double portion, and to be the nation where the King will not only be of the Hebrew people, but of every human being living on this planet Earth during the Millennial Kingdom.
The King of the whole planet Earth will be there, who also is the King of the whole universe; because He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is King-God, King-Theophany and King-Jesus.
And now, we find that the King of the seventh dimension (which is God), then the King of the sixth dimension (which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is the same God in His theophanic body), will be on Earth in human flesh, sitting on the Throne of David; and He will be King here, in this earthly dimension, in which the human beings will be living in bodies…
And the elect will be living in immortal bodies, incorruptible bodies, glorified bodies, equal to that of the Lord Jesus Christ. But the rest of the people who will enter into that Kingdom of Christ (of which there are many living on this planet Earth currently), those who will enter by the grace of God, for a judgment will be carried out according to Matthew, chapter 25 (where…); it is appointed as the Judgment of the Nations; where the King of kings and Lord of lords will determine which nations will not enter into the Millennial Kingdom of Christ and which nations will enter into the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, and which people will not enter and which people will enter into the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
Now we can see that there is a Program already established by God since before the foundation of the world, which has been carried out from stage to stage, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, and we have reached the most glorious time of the Divine Program.
We have reached the time where the Divine Program for the seventh dispensation, which is the Dispensation of the Kingdom, is being opened and it is being intertwined with the Dispensation of Grace, and the Divine Program relevant to the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ calls us saying: “Come up hither, and I will show you the things that will happen after these,” in other words, the things that will happen after those that have already happened during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.
Now, a number of things have to happen —that have already been prophesied— in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone; and those are the things that Christ through His manifestation in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, will be making known to us in this end time, and that is why He says: “Come up hither.”
Why? Because here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, Christ will be in Holy Spirit manifested through His Angel Messenger speaking to us all these things that must happen soon; He will be speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and with that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom He will be revealing to us all these things that must happen soon.
The Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom (which is the Great Voice of Trumpet) revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, in other words, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, for this end time. And all things that are prophesied in the Scripture to happen in the Last Day, also revolve around the Second Coming of Christ; because all things that will be happening on this planet Earth in this end time, in the seventh millennium and seventh dispensation (the Dispensation of the Kingdom), are revolving around the Seventh Seal in the Last Day. In other words, that is the center, the axis, which all prophesied things to happen in the Last Day will revolve around, that is, in the seventh millennium.
And that Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord, which is revealed by Christ Himself in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in His manifestation through His Angel Messenger…; through whom for the Last Day He would be making known to His Church the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is, the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; the mystery for which there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour, in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1.
That mystery, notice that it is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the Coming of the Son of Man with the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which were manifested and were shown on Mount Transfiguration, where Christ showed there the order of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in the Coming of the Kingdom of God.
See how the Kingdom of God comes in the Last Day: It comes according to how it was shown in the vision of Mount Transfiguration: The Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Now, what was the Coming of the Son of Man two thousand years ago? Let’s see what was the Coming of the Son of Man two thousand years ago, and then we can understand what is the great mystery of the Seventh Seal and the battle of the Seventh Seal, that is, the stage through which the Second Coming of Christ will pass in the midst of the human race.
Just as in the First Coming of Christ there was a trajectory: Since Christ was in Mary’s womb; then He was born, then He grew up; but, as years went by, things were happening in Jesus’ life.
Having been born in Bethlehem of Judea, according to the divine promise13, we find that when He was already about 2 years old, King Herod was looking for Him to kill Him14.
And now, what do you think of a man who is looking for a two-year-old child to kill him? That he before God can’t be anything else but a direct descendant of Cain, who was the first murderer here on Earth.
And now, just the thought of killing the Messiah, that alone is enough to condemn King Herod and send him to the lake of fire at the Final Judgment.
He is also guilty of the death of all those male children who were killed (who were 2 years old and under) when King Herod sent soldiers to kill all those children, thinking that by killing all the children 2 years old and under he would kill the Messiah15</sup>; because the Messiah had to be about 2 years old, because the Star of Bethlehem had already began to rise 2 years ago (the wise men told King Herod); therefore, since the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man was seen in the sky, the Star of Bethlehem, the Messiah had to already be on Earth. So if he killed all the children from 2 years old down, he would kill the Messiah; although they didn’t know who the Messiah was, they were looking for Him when He was only 2 years old.
But see, if it wasn’t because the Archangel Gabriel appeared in a dream to Joseph and said16: “Go to Egypt; take the child and also His mother, and go to Egypt, because King Herod will look for the child to kill Him”… He would look for Him to kill Him when he realized that the wise men had gone another way and had not returned to him to give him the report of the encounter with the Messiah.
The wise men were very obedient to God. They were wise people in religious matters and also in matters of the universe: They were astrologers and also had the part of astronomy; because in those times astrology and astronomy were quite united; and astronomers also knew about astrology and also had religious knowledge; because they understood that everything that God does on Earth is reflected in the sky.
“The heavens tell the glory of God, and the expansion denounces the Work of His hands.17” Whenever God is going to do or is doing something here on Earth, according to His Program, the signs appear in the sky that testify of what God is doing on Earth.
And for those days, God was fulfilling the First Coming of the Messiah, He was fulfilling the birth of the Messiah, and the promise of the Messiah was already a reality among the Hebrew people; and the sign that the Messiah was on Earth was the Star of Bethlehem, present for 2 years, and it is not known how long it remained after the wise men found the Messiah.
They, because they had knowledge of those signs and the meaning of those signs in the sky, could search the Earth for what that sign in the sky was announcing.
So it will be for the Last Day, for which Christ prophesied in Matthew, chapter 24 and verses 30 to 31, saying as follows; and I want to read these two verses of the Scripture, because we are living in times parallel to the time of the First Coming of Christ and also the time of the prophet Moses; and we are also living in days parallel to those of Noah, because Jesus said that the Coming of the Son of Man would be as in the days (of whom?) of Noah, and also as in the days of Lot18. So it is very important to know what happened in the Divine Program in those days, in order to see what will be happening in this end time.
Now, Christ said in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 to 31:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…”
A sign promised to appear in the sky at the Last Day. That is the sign of the Son of Man, announcing the Coming of the Son of Man in the midst of the human race, announcing the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels to this planet Earth in the Last Day.
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven (Jesus says)…”
There Jesus is answering the questions His disciples asked Him in Matthew 24, verse 3, when He says:
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
Now, you see, they asked Him to make known to them (make known to them, for Jesus to make known to them) what sign there would be of His coming and of the end of the world or end of the century. Christ said that there would be a sign: The sign of the Son of Man in heaven; that is the sign of His Coming.
On February 28, 1963, there was a sign in the sky, which I’m going to show you in a few moments.
He goes on to say:
“…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.”
On February 28, 1963, a giant cloud appeared in the sky, 30 miles wide, at a height of 26 miles19, where no clouds can form, why? Because there is no humidity at that height for cloud formation. This cloud appeared over the Arizona skies, and science was puzzled as to that cloud, because there was no explanation for the formation of that cloud at that height.
Now, at that time the Reverend William Branham was in the mountains of Tucson, Arizona, hunting, and he was able to explain what that cloud was. On page 469 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, preached by Reverend William Branham, he explains what that cloud was. He says20:
“275 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 refers to this Angel; because this cloud was formed not by humidity, but by angels of God, messengers of God, who are the seven messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church, and another Angel that was different from the rest.
That Angel that was different from the rest is this one that is flying here. If we turn the picture to the right, we will see that this is the Angel that forms the white hair of the Lord, because these angels in this cloud form the face of the Lord.
It is not the literal face of the Lord, but the face of the Lord formed by a cloud; just as you can form the face of the Lord with a pencil on a poster board, and make a drawing there, and you formed, you made the face of the Lord. Here it was made by angels with their theophanic bodies, because here they are in their theophanic bodies.
Here are the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church and here is the Angel that was different from the rest, which is the most important, most outstanding Angel of those angels that appeared on that occasion.
And the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says:
“…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?
276 Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal…”
Which of these angels has the Seventh Seal? The Angel who is different from the rest.
“…the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant, for one time in life!”
Now, which is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal? The Angel that was different from the rest.
And being that that is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal, which is Christ, to fulfill the Seventh Seal here on Earth, to fulfill the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, this Angel has to come to Earth in human flesh; just as the other angels of God came in human flesh and were the messengers of the seven stages of the gentile Church: They were Saint Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley and the Reverend William Branham.
And now, each of them had his ministry in the age in which God sent him, and through them God called and gathered His elect from each age. He called His sheep and gathered them in His Fold, as Christ had said in John, chapter 10 and verses 14 to 16, when Christ identified Himself as the Good Shepherd and said, speaking of His sheep and the work that He would do to gather His sheep, He said:
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
How are they going to hear the Voice of Christ, if He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven and sat down at the right hand of God in Heaven? It is through Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in each angel messenger, speaking through each angel messenger, and calling and gathering His sheep through the ministry of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in each angel messenger; and thus He calls and gathers His children, His sheep into the Fold of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And He comes to the Age of the Cornerstone for the Last Day, which is the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ, it is the Golden Age of the Kingdom of God, it is the Golden Age for Christ to manifest Himself and speak to His Church with that Great Voice of Trumpet, and tell her: “Come up hither.” Where to? To the Age of the Cornerstone, where He will also be manifested in human flesh, as He was in every angel messenger of the seven ages of the gentile Church.
Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in human flesh at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and seventh millennium, speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet and making known to us all these things that must happen soon.
In Revelation, chapter 4, it says:
“Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
And then, in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6 and on, it says:
“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.”
Through His Angel Messenger, you see, it is revealed, it is made known to the Church of Jesus Christ, all these things that are going to happen soon, in the seventh millennium, and in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Nobody will be able to understand all these prophecies that point out the things that God will do in the end time, except through the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, through whom comes the divine revelation and the divine teaching of all these things that must happen soon, in this end time. Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit through that Angel Messenger, making known to His Church all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.
There will be a struggle, a spiritual battle in this end time; and during the stage of the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, we will be living in the most glorious stage of all, but there will be struggles, there will be certain difficulties as well; but God’s elect, the Church of Jesus Christ, will always continue forward, without faltering, because she will be being guided by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, who will be making known all these things that must happen soon; and he will be obtaining all this knowledge; and the elect of God will be being called and gathered with that Great Voice of Trumpet, as Jesus said21: “And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.”
Now notice that the Angels come with the Son of Man, for Christ said: “And he shall send his angels with a great voice of trumpet.” Who sends them? Christ, the Son of Man.
And now, in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27, it says that the Son of Man will come with His Angels, and then He will pay each one according to his works.
And now, we can see that where Jesus Christ is, the Son of Man, manifested in the Last Day in Holy Spirit, there will also be the Angels of the Son of Man, which are Moses and Elijah.
They are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which were shown there, on Mount Transfiguration (Moses and Elijah), showing that at the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels coming in His Kingdom, the ministries of Moses and Elijah would also be present: The ministry of Moses for the second time and the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, and also the ministry of Jesus for the second time.
And where will those ministries be manifested here on Earth? They will be where Jesus Christ is in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant; where He is manifested in human flesh, each of those three great ministries promised for the Last Day will be there: The ministry of Jesus for the second time, the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time and the ministry of Moses for the second time.
With those three great ministries manifested by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, He will call and gather all the elect of God; and He will prepare us by giving us the faith to be changed and raptured in this end time, giving us the faith, the revelation of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in this end time; because everything revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in the Last Day, manifested in human flesh according to His promise.
And now, being that God sent a forerunner for the First Coming of Christ two thousand years ago, and then the Messiah appeared… See, here it is: In Malachi, chapter 3, verse 1 and on, it says:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple…”
“And (who?) the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His Temple.” Who did the Hebrew people seek in the temple, when they worshipped in the temple? They sought the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
“…even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Who would come? The Lord would come, the Angel of the Covenant, whom the Hebrew people desired.
The Angel of the Covenant, who appeared to the prophet Moses and who sent the prophet Moses for the deliverance of the Hebrew people. The Angel of the Covenant that delivered the Hebrew people, the Angel of the Covenant that guided the Hebrew people in that Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant that gave the Law on mount Sinai, the Angel of the Covenant that accompanied Moses and used Moses all the days of his life. The Angel of the Covenant, who opened the Red Sea through Moses, and the Hebrew people crossed over on dry ground, and then closed the Red Sea, and all the Egyptians drowned: The entire army of the pharaoh drowned there, in the Red Sea22.
Who performed all those miracles there? The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord; it was God, who was manifested in Moses.
That is why you find that Moses was the one who had to raise his hands or raise the rod, and speak; and then the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is the same God in His theophanic body, performed all those things. In other words, the Angel of the Covenant told Moses what He was going to do, and Moses announced it to the people, and then God, the Angel of the Covenant, carried out everything.
And now, it is this same Angel of the Covenant who is promised to come in human flesh; but first it says that He sends the messenger, His messenger, who would be Elijah and who would prepare the way for Him; and when He sent Elijah preparing the way, it was a man named John the Baptist.
Jesus in chapter 11 of Matthew, verse 14, says (speaking of John the Baptist says): “He is that Elijah who was to come.” Who was he? John the Baptist.
The Archangel Gabriel, when he announced the birth of John the Baptist, he announced to Zechariah the priest that he would have a son through his wife, who would be a prophet of God; and who would come in the spirit and virtue of Elijah, in the spirit and power of Elijah; and who would convert the hearts of the fathers to the children, that is, the hearts of the Hebrew people to the Christian faith23. And when John the Baptist was born, they named him John.
And if he was Elijah, the Elijah who was to come at that time, why didn’t the Archangel Gabriel say to him: “Give him the name Elijah?” Because Elijah coming was the ministry of Elijah coming in another man. The ministry was called Elijah, but the man was named John.
When God promises that He will again send a man who came in the past and had a ministry, when He sends the fulfillment of that promise, it is another man with the ministry of that prophet who was here on Earth in past times.
Therefore, you see, the ministry of Elijah the Tishbite then came in the prophet Elisha for the second time, in a double portion. Then it came for the third time in John the Baptist, preparing the way for the Lord, preparing the way (to whom?) to the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, preparing the way for the Word that was with God and was God, who created all things, and who would become flesh and live among the Hebrew people in human flesh.
When the Elijah who had to prepare the way for the Messiah in His First Coming came (prepare the way for the Angel of the Covenant, who would come in a body of flesh), what happened? John the Baptist had that ministry.
They ask him24:
―“Who are you? Are you the Christ?” He says: “No.”
―“Are you the prophet?” He says: “No.”
―“Are you Elijah?” He says: “No.”
Now, why does he say no to everything?
He was not the Messiah.
Neither was he “the prophet” of whom God spoke through Moses, saying25: “A prophet like me the Lord your God will raise up for you; you shall hear him.” That prophecy is to be fulfilled in the Messiah in His First Coming, and in His Second Coming that promise will be fulfilled in all its fullness.
Then, neither was he literally “Elijah,” because the Hebrew people were literally waiting for the prophet Elijah; and neither was he the Elijah that had to come forerunning the Second Coming of Christ. That is why he said he was not Elijah.
He was not the literal Elijah they were expecting, but he was a man anointed with that ministerial spirit of Elijah, in whom that ministry was for the third time. It had been in Elijah the Tishbite, in Elisha for the second time and in John the Baptist for the third time.
And now, notice that every time that ministry comes, it comes with a new name and in a new veil of flesh. Therefore, the veil of flesh doesn’t have to be called Elijah, but it has to have the name that his parents gave him when they enrolled him and gave him that name.
And now, for the time of the First Coming of Christ, His forerunner would come preparing the way: A prophet. And then the Messiah would be (what?) also a prophet; because the Coming of the Messiah is the coming of a prophet in whom is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, manifested in human flesh.
And now, that is the Coming of the Word, which was with God and is God26, the Word made flesh.
In John, chapter 1, verse 14, it says, speaking about the Word coming according to the promise of the First Coming of the Messiah, it says, and we read this passage: Chapter 1, verse 14, of John, it says:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
What was the First Coming of Christ? What was the Coming of the Messiah? It was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, within a veil of flesh called Jesus; that was the First Coming of Christ.
God provided Himself a veil of flesh called Jesus, to offer the Sacrifice for sin, for the redemption of all the sons and daughters of God.
The sacrifice of the paschal lamb was fulfilled in Jesus, and also the sacrifice of the goat (which was sacrificed on the day of atonement, the 10th day of the seventh month of each year); and all sacrifices that were made in the midst of the Hebrew people for sin, and for the reconciliation and peace of the Hebrews with God, were fulfilled in Jesus.
And now look what the First Coming of Christ was: It was the Coming of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in human flesh.
That is why the Hebrew people proclaim that the Coming of the Messiah is the Coming of God in a prophet. It is the Messiah, for the Hebrew people, a prophet who will come. And you see, He already came two thousand years ago in human flesh: He was the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word made flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people in a young construction worker.
Who would have imagined that the First Coming of the Messiah would be fulfilled in a construction worker? But nobody had imagined it; but God did have it in His mind, and it was a divine secret in God’s mind.
Everybody knew that the Messiah would be a man born on this Earth; and that He would be born through a virgin, because Isaiah said in chapter 7, verse 14: “Behold, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel”; but nobody knew that this child would later be a construction worker; and that He would be raised, after being born in Bethlehem of Judea, would be raised where? In Nazareth. These are things that God had hidden; although according to the Scriptures He had to be a Nazarite (Nazarene), in order to have His vote as a Nazarene and thus also fulfill the Scripture27.
Now, you see, the mystery of the First Coming of Christ in the midst of the Hebrew people was so great (although it was prophesied so), it was so great that not even the high priest, the most skilled man of the Hebrew people in religious matters, could recognize that Jesus was the Messiah; and if he had realized that He was a prophet, he didn’t love Him, but hated Him.
And when he said to Him: “Are you the Son of the living God?” Jesus said: “I have said this before, and you have not believed”; and He also said: “You have said this.” And when he hears those beautiful words, in which Jesus Christ identifies Himself as the Son of God, the Messiah, the high priest instead of saying: “Glory to God that the Coming of the Messiah has been fulfilled! We have Him here! He is one of us!” (as the prophet Moses said: “One of your brothers”); instead of saying this and giving glory to God, he said: “He has blasphemed!”, and tore His clothes. And he asked the Sanhedrin Council, saying: “You have heard Him. What do you say?28”
The high priest had already judged Him, saying that He had blasphemed. And now the sentence for blasphemers was death. And now he asks the Sanhedrin: “What do you say?” The opinion of the high priest already was that He was a blasphemer and that He was worthy of death.
And the Sanhedrin Council, in its majority…; because there were some, like Joseph of Arimathea, like Nicodemus and like Gamaliel, who didn’t consent to the death of Jesus, didn’t give their vote; but with those who voted in favor of the death of Christ there was a majority, and therefore they pronounced the death sentence on Jesus. All (that is, the majority) said: “He is worthy of death,” they condemned Him to death. But thank God for that, because if He had not died, the redemption could not be carried out.
The Hebrew people had to be blind to crucify their own Messiah, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham and the Elohim who appeared to Abraham, who came in human flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people, they rejected Him and asked for His death on Calvary’s Cross.
“This did not Abraham.29”
When Abraham saw Him coming in human form, he invited Him to dinner, to eat: He prepared a veal for Him. He accepted the invitation and ate with Abraham. He ate bread, ate of the veal, drank milk from the cow or the sheep, and shared with Abraham a few moments the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah30.
There they were also, as guests of Elohim, His Archangels Gabriel and Michael, in visible form too, in the form of men, eating with Abraham.
All this is a type and figure of what God will be doing in this end time, where Elohim, Melchizedek, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will return; the Word will come again in human flesh in the Last Day.
And that is the mystery of the Seventh Seal; that is the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; that is the greatest mystery of all mysteries of Heaven and, therefore, of Earth too.
This is the mystery of which Christ said even the angels in Heaven didn’t know. That is the mystery that for the Last Day would be revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ, in the fulfillment of that mystery, because the Coming of Christ would be identified with the Seventh Seal and fulfillment of that Seventh Seal.
And just as it was in the First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Melchizedek, Elohim in human flesh, in a construction worker (two thousand years ago) named Jesus: It was something so simple, so simple, that they stumbled on the veil of flesh; the Second Coming of Christ, in other words, the Second Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in human flesh (which will be like the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work): Everything will be so simple that people will stumble —many of them— on the veil of flesh where the Angel of the Lord will be, the Angel of the Covenant, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in the Last Day.
He had —Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit— a partial manifestation through each angel messenger a temporary manifestation and a manifestation in the portion relevant to each age, that is, in the portion promised for each age.
And for the Last Day Jesus Christ will have a manifestation in human flesh: Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will also be manifested in human flesh in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone; as He was in past ages by the prophets of the Old Testament, and by the apostles of Jesus Christ, and by the seven angel messengers of Jesus Christ, and as He was in the veil of flesh called Jesus.
For the Last Day, we find in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, that the Word returns among human beings. So it says:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”
There we have that there will be a battle, a struggle… A spiritual struggle is coming first. Then the beast, with the kings who will give him their power and authority, will rise up against the Second Coming of Christ, according to the prophecies… Let’s see where these prophecies are. Chapter 17 of Revelation, verses 11 to 14, says:
“And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
They are the members of the Mystical Body of Christ, which in the Last Day will resurrect in eternal bodies; and we who are alive will be transformed, and so we will also be with this white horse Rider of Revelation 19.
This white horse Rider of Revelation 19 is Christ in His Second Coming. Let’s continue reading so that we have a clear picture; it says here:
[Revelation 19:12] “His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”
In other words, He comes with a name that no one knows, with a new name, in His Second Coming. That new name is the Name that corresponds to the Second Coming of Christ; for Christ says in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12… let’s see, so that we can have a clear picture. Chapter 3, verse 12, Christ says here, in Revelation:
“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.”
Christ has a new name. Our Lord Jesus Christ, when He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, received a new name.
Just like the prophet Joseph: When he interpreted the dream to Pharaoh, and was placed as second on the throne – in the empire of the pharaoh, Joseph received a new name there, according to Genesis, chapter 41; and that new name that he received there, look, it says: Chapter 41, verses 45 and on, of Genesis, it says:
“And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.”
Now we can see… see, he was around 30 years old, he was about 30 years old; he was 30 years old when he was presented to the pharaoh, he was 30 years old when he was placed as second in the pharaoh’s kingdom and when he also received that new name and that new position as second in the pharaoh’s empire; to such an extent that his brothers didn’t know him when they saw him, when they came to buy food in Egypt31.
He was dressed in gentile garments: He was dressed up in the way the gentiles dressed themselves and, you see, he was wearing gentile clothes; and he was the one in charge of the food for the preservation of the life of the people.
And now, all this speaks of Christ and speaks of the time when Christ will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people, where they will not realize that He is the same one that was in human flesh two thousand years ago, in that veil of flesh called Jesus; they will not realize that He is the same Angel of the Covenant that was veiled in human flesh in that young construction worker called Jesus. Now, in the end time, He will come again, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will come again veiled in human flesh.
See here, it says [Revelation 19:13]:
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
He has a garment dyed in blood, and His Name is the Word of God.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
And now, verse 14… I was quoting John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on. And now on verse 14 of John, chapter 1, it says: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
The same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and different prophets of the Old Testament, and who appeared to Moses and used Moses for the deliverance of the Hebrew people, we now find that He came dressed in human flesh, He came dressed as a human.
The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord —who is a man of the sixth dimension—, now dressed in a human garment, in a human body, and came in the midst of the Hebrew people to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross with that human body.
And now, for the Last Day, the Word is promised in Scripture to come again:
[Revelation 19:14] “And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
Because it is the King of kings and Lord of lords who comes in the Last Day; it is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ coming in the Last Day in Holy Spirit, and taking a veil of flesh in the midst of the human race, and through that veil of flesh manifesting Himself in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
And now, since for this end time God sent a forerunner, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ… Just as He sent a forerunner for the First Coming of Christ, which was John the Baptist, now for the end time He sent the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ with the spirit and power of Elijah, which was the Reverend William Branham. He came with the spirit and power of Elijah, in the fourth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah in the midst of the human race.
And now, let’s see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says will be happening in this end time. On page 134 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, it says32:
“302 Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords.”
And now let’s see what will be the incarnation or the Coming of the Holy Spirit incarnate at the Last Day. On page 277 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, Reverend William Branham says in prayer33:
“[391]…may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
How will the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 come?
Who is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, whose name is the Word of God?
It is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, it is the Holy Spirit, because the Word is the Holy Spirit; it is the Angel of the Covenant, it is God in and with His theophanic body; but He will come in this end time according to Revelation, chapter 19, and according to Revelation, chapter 10, and according to Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 to 31.
And now, how will His Coming be? The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 256 of The Seals in Spanish, referring to the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, it says34:
“196 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, the Coming of the Word coming in the Last Day be? It will be the Coming of the Word coming in human flesh at the Last Day.
If we find the veil of flesh where the fulfillment of the Coming of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in the Last Day will be, then we would be finding the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 in human flesh; thus we will be finding the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in the Last Day, because there will be the ministries of Moses for the second occasion, Elijah for the fifth occasion and Jesus for the second occasion.
And thus Christ will fulfill His Coming in Holy Spirit: Taking a veil of flesh of the end time, of this end time, through whom He will be manifested in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the midst of His gentile Church, giving us His Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet or Trumpet of God; and thus He will be speaking to us and revealing to us through human flesh, through that instrument, He will be revealing to us all these things that must soon come to pass.
That veil of flesh will be called or is called in the Scripture: The Angel of Jesus Christ:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16.
And He continues saying right there, notice, He continues:
“I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
Now, we can see here that Jesus Christ sends His Angel Messenger; and it is through His Angel Messenger that Jesus Christ reveals Himself, manifests Himself, and operates, manifests in him, all these attributes; and He manifests Himself as the root and the offspring of David through him, and as the bright and Morning Star, and He speaks to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; and that is how we will be hearing the Voice of the Holy Spirit in the Last Day.
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.”
In other words, the Holy Spirit through His manifestation in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, will be speaking all these things that must happen soon. And the Bride, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, will be saying the same thing, because she will have Christ manifested in her midst in human flesh: In His Angel Messenger, and she will be hearing the Voice of Christ; and then he will be making known to mankind what Christ has said in this end time; and that is how the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, the glory of Jesus Christ in His Coming in this end time.
Now, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, where this manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifesting the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah: That Angel is not Moses, that Angel is not Elijah and that Angel is not Jesus either. He is a man of this end time, a human being of this end time redeemed by the Blood of Christ and filled with the Spirit of Christ; he is a member of the Mystical Body of Christ, one born in the Mystical Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, born again; in whom Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested fulfilling all these promises, there will be Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is Jesus Christ.
In the Old Testament he is called the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord; and He is Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
And after He ascended to Heaven, you see, He appeared to Saul of Tarsus in the Pillar of Fire. He says to Saul of Tarsus: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the prick.” And Saul, knowing that this was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who had spoken to Moses, said to Him: “Lord (that is, Elohim), who are you?” And now, He who is speaking from that light more powerful than the sun, says: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.35”
You see, Jesus Christ is the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, it is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, who at the Last Day will come in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, which is the last prophet: The prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, of the seventh dispensation, who comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, and is also the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the instrument of Christ in whom Christ will be, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Word incarnate in the Last Day.
That is where the Angel that was different from the rest, who appeared in this cloud formed by angels on February 28, 1963, will be manifested in human flesh. And with the manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, the white hair of the Lord (which is a type and figure that will be fulfilled in the Last Day with the Coming of that Angel that was different from the rest manifested in human flesh), we will have Jesus Christ as Judge of all the Earth, and as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
We have seen on this occasion this mystery: The mystery of THE BATTLE OF THE SEVENTH SEAL UNDER THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL; the great mystery of 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.
But remember: The instrument, the veil of flesh, the Angel of Jesus Christ, is not Jesus Christ, nor Moses, nor Elijah; he is a redeemed by the Blood of Christ, a son of God of the Mystical Body of Christ, who will be in the Last Day (in the seventh millennium) here on Earth; and he will be in the Church of Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone as the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ. And through that man, that messenger, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be there, the Angel of the Covenant manifested, operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time. That is the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19: The Coming of the Word in human flesh in the Last Day.
And now, we have seen that this is to be fulfilled in the Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, the question of many people is: “And in what territory will this promise be fulfilled: The Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels coming in human flesh at the Last Day?” The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ told us about that Rider and where that Rider would come from.
Now, we find that throughout the ages Christ has been coming from age to age, manifested in human flesh in each angel messenger, and He has been (where?) in the territory where He sent each of those messengers, and in the age where His Work relevant to that ministry that He operated in each angel messenger was fulfilled; and He called and gathered His elect in each of those ages, in the territory relevant to each age; and from there the Message spread to other nations.
And now, you see, the First Coming of Christ was in the land of Israel. Christ said36: “As the lightning comes from the East (that is, the land of Israel) and shows itself in the West (the West is the American continent), so shall the Coming of the Son of Man be.” This is how the day when the Son of Man shall be manifested, shall be revealed; that is, will be revealed, will be manifested as the lightning shining (where?) in the West.
It is in the West where the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels shines, the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. It is in the West, the American continent, where the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 comes manifested in human flesh in this end time. It is in the West where the Word comes, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ, the Word incarnate in a man.
The American continent consists of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. And the part pertaining to North America was already fulfilled in the seventh age of the gentile Church, where He sent the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, the Reverend William Branham, and the seventh age of the gentile Church was fulfilled.
And now (from the American continent, from the Western continent) Latin America and the Caribbean only remain, for the fulfillment of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Word incarnated in a man; it is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, coming in human flesh in the Last Day, dressing in human flesh, dressing Himself of a veil of flesh in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Day.
And now, you see, we only have the Latin American and Caribbean territory left for the fulfillment of the Age of the Cornerstone and the fulfillment of the things He has said He will do in the Last Day; and that is why He comes in the Age of the Cornerstone manifested in His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time. And where does He come? In the West, in Latin America and the Caribbean, making known to us all these things that must happen soon.
And now, notice what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says in the message “God’s only provided place of worship” (page 1 and 2); and now, in the book of Quotations, which contains excerpts from different messages of Reverend William Branham, we find, on page 166 and verse 1485, the excerpt that says37:
“Now, there’s… I was… getting pretty old, and I thought, ‘Will I… Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”
If it is a promise, it has to be in the Bible; and that promise is in Revelation 19, which is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Word coming in the Last Day.
It is the Coming of the Word; it is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant; it is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel Messenger in this end time, in the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And if we find that Angel Messenger, we will be finding in him the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested; and we will be finding there the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus being manifested, being operated by the Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger.
Now we have seen the mystery, THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL, and we have also seen THE BATTLE OF THE SEVENTH SEAL which he will have to go through. The Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the Angel of the Covenant manifested in His Angel Messenger, will have to go through a battle.
Now we can see that although there will be a battle through which the Seventh Seal will go, in other words, the Second Coming of Christ, the promise is, the prophecy says, speaking of the ten kings and the beast, it says (let’s read here):
“And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”
I am reading Revelation 17, verse 11 and on; it says:
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Here we have the prophecy of that confrontation between Christ and the antichrist; because the beast will persecute, will fight against the Second Coming of Christ, the beast and those ten kings; but, you see, we find that that fight, that struggle, notice, will be the devil who will be manifested in the antichrist, in the beast, and will fight against the Coming of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant coming in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
And with His Angel Messenger will also come, after the Trumpet has sounded, in the end, the dead in Christ will come and will be with Him, and we who are alive will be transformed and we will be with Him too; we will be with Christ manifested in His Angel Messenger.
And after being here on Earth for 30 to 40 days in the new body, then we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and then we will see Jesus Christ in His glorified body; but before that, we will only be seeing Him manifested in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger.
That is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is the great mystery of the Seventh Seal being revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is also the mystery related to the battle of the Seventh Seal through which the Seventh Seal will have to go, in other words, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord in human flesh in the Last Day.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you testifying to you of this great mystery of the Seventh Seal, where the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says that the white horse Rider will come (where and from where?) from the West, that is, from the American continent.
The veil of flesh will be a man from the West; that will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will be in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, who will be a redeemed one with the Blood of Jesus Christ, who will have been born in the Kingdom of God, in the Church of Jesus Christ, by believing in Christ as his Savior and washing his sins away in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit.
That is the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God38 in the Last Day; that is the Angel that has the Seal of the living God in the Last Day, the Holy Spirit manifested in him, in human flesh, according to the divine promise.
That is also the Messenger to the Hebrew people; but first he comes in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, to call and gather the elect of God with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, and thus prepare all the elect of God to be transformed and raptured in this end time.
“THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
Did you see how simple this mystery is?
Well said the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ that if we didn’t watch, the Seventh Seal would pass over us, that is, the Coming of the Lord; because everything would be so simple (that the Seventh Seal would be fulfilled, manifested, in simplicity), that if we did not watch, it would pass over us39.
Jesus Christ Himself said that we should be watching. Watching for what? For His Coming. Because you see, it would be such a simple thing that mankind would not even realize the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord in the Last Day, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant coming in human flesh, in a veil of flesh of the Last Day, and manifesting His attributes in this end time, the attributes promised to be manifested in the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels in the Last Day; but the Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ.
John the apostle wanted to worship him on two occasions: In Revelation, chapter 19, verses 6 to 10, and Revelation 22, verses 6 to 9, and the Angel said to him: “Look, do not do it, because I am your fellow servant…” Let’s see, so that you may have it clear; it says Revelation 22, verses 7 and on:
“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”
This Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ: He is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone. That is why he didn’t accept the worship of John the apostle, because a man can’t be worshipped.
“God is a Spirit, and the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for such worshipers the Father seeks to worship Him.40”
And now, we can see that this Angel Messenger is not Jesus Christ, but is a prophet of Jesus Christ sent to His Church, and then he will be sent to the Hebrew people.
This Angel Messenger is the prophet messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone for the Church of Jesus Christ, and he is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
It is the first time that Jesus Christ sends a dispensational prophet to His Church. Previously, He had sent messengers of ages to His Church, but neither Saint Paul, nor Irenaeus, nor Martin, nor Columba, nor Luther, nor Wesley, nor William Branham, none of them were dispensational prophets; although there were prophets among them, but not dispensational ones.
It is the first time that God sends a dispensational prophet to His Church, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and He sends him with a dispensational Message; because God can’t send a dispensational prophet without a Message. God always sends His prophets with a Message from Heaven.
And now, we can see that the Angel of the Covenant, which is the Word, which is the Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh, comes in that prophet; as He was manifested in the prophets of the Old Testament, as He was manifested in the apostles, as He was manifested in the seven angel messengers and as He was manifested in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And that is how the great mystery of the Seventh Seal and the battle of the Seventh Seal opens to all the elect of God, this great mystery opens, so that we may welcome the Seventh Seal, the Angel that was different from the rest, coming in human flesh in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and manifesting, operating through that Angel, the ministries of Moses for the second time, of Elijah for the fifth time and of Jesus for the second time.
And where are the people who would be seeing this great event, this great mystery being opened, being fulfilled, and receiving Him in His Coming? Well, here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean; in the territory where the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 would come, which would be the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Word, the Word incarnate in a man of this end time, from the West.
Here we are giving thanks to God for the great blessing that we have been given and the great privilege that we have been given: To live in the territory where this great mystery would be fulfilled, it would be opened and made known to all the sons and daughters of God.
Here we are seeing the great mystery of the Seventh Seal being revealed in the West, in Latin America and the Caribbean; for which we thank our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and upon me too; and may the last elect of God be gathered together soon; and may all the dead in Christ be resurrected, and us who are alive be transformed, and then go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, in the House and to the House of our heavenly Father; and be there with Christ those three and half years of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, while the Earth is going through the judgments of the great tribulation; and then to return to Earth, for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ with His Church and with the human beings who will be living at that time of the Great Millennial Kingdom. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present and listeners.
It has been a great privilege for me to testify to you of this great mystery: “THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE BATTLE OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
May God bless you and keep you, and may you continue spending a day full of the blessings of Christ; and with us the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin.
