The Duality of the Second Adam: The Great Mystery of Christ and His Church

Good afternoon, fellow ministers. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, to greet you and ask Christ for His blessings upon each one of you.

The time in which we are living is a very important time, and we are seeing that God is fulfilling the things that He promised He would do in the midst of His Church; because the whole Divine Program that God carries out in His Church is through the Spirit of Christ in His Church, from age to age, from dispensation to dispensation.

And what He does, well, it is all prophesied in the Word already, both in the Old Covenant or Testament and in the New Testament. In other words, He won’t do something that He hasn’t promised to carry out, it must be what He promised.

And the things God will do in and with His Church at the Last Day will be done in His Church. For example, if God has promised to do something, to carry out something with His people, it must be within the New Covenant, in the stage that the Church is in at that time.

For example, what He was going to do in Asia Minor, in the first age of the Church among the Gentiles, well, He did it through Saint Paul and with all those who worked with Saint Paul at that time.

God will always work in and through the Church, because the Church is the helpmate of Christ. It is a work of God through Christ and His Church, through the second Adam and the second Eve; that is where the promises under the New Divine Covenant are fulfilled.

And for this end time, well, everything God has promised to do in favor of His Church, then He will do it in the midst of His Church.

For example, the Third Pull, of which Rev. William Branham spoke so much [saying] that it will be carried out, and of which we were given a sample through Rev. William Branham, and he said to us: “I have seen God’s mighty hand manifested five times;” he gave us five examples; and those five examples are a type and figure of what God will do in the midst of His Church-Bride at the Last Day.

• For example, the resurrection of the little fish; which, anyone could say: “But this is so simple.” But didn’t Christ also multiply the loaves and fishes? See? That is also simple. It was the spoken creative Word working. Giving thanks, He broke them, and gave to the disciples; the miracle was done.

And what does the resurrection of a little fish mean in the midst of the Church? Well, the resurrection of the dead in Christ. As simple as that.

Didn’t Christ say: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”? He represented the believers in Christ who would receive Him as Savior, He represented them in fish. The same Voice that said to Lazarus: “Come out, come forth!” resurrecting him, is the same Voice that speaks to the little fish. See? It is the Voice of the Resurrection.

• Then, the storm being stopped: that is the Power of God manifested in all Its fullness; and the Two Olive trees, Moses and Elijah, will have that power.

It is a full manifestation of God, represented in those five occasions that Rev. William Branham mentions of the mighty hand of the Lord.

• The tumor in Sister Branham’s ovary.

The Church is represented in Sister Branham; because the messenger always represents Christ in each age, and his wife represents the Church. As simple as that.

A health problem, well, that is a spiritual problem that prevented the fulfillment of a promise: the promise of a son that was promised to Rev. William Branham; which he saw in the Scriptures, and said: “If I have a boy, I’ll name him Joseph;” and then, the Angel told him he was going to have a son, and to name him “Joseph”.

But the tumor in… there, in Sister Branham, we need to look closely there at what happened there (we will talk about that later on, I didn’t have anything written to speak about that); but notice, that shows a health problem there, typifying a spiritual problem.

The health problem came because she slammed the door on him, and that was something bad before God: disrespect. To disrespect a messenger, it doesn’t matter if it’s her husband, if his wife does it, God doesn’t overlook it.

And that represents the people or the group of His age closing the door on Christ, closing the door on what was forerun to come.

If what a prophet—by the Word of God—announces will happen, and that doesn’t happen: he is not vindicated, confirmed, as a prophet of God.

And if what Rev. William Branham spoke and foreran (said would come), if that is not fulfilled: then he is not confirmed as a prophet.

The last vindication or confirmation that he is the prophet-forerunner is the fulfillment of the Coming of the one he said would come after him; that is the last confirmation. He can have all the other confirmations, but if he doesn’t have that one, he is missing the most important one, because that is the most important one.

The most important one of a forerunner is what he foreruns; if it is fulfilled… And what he foreran was the greatest: the Coming of the Lord; and that is the greatest mystery in Heaven and on Earth.

(You may be seated. It was just a short greeting, since we will have the service with everyone together soon).

Now, how will the fulfillment of that promise be? Super simple: the way God said it through the forerunner. You don’t have to look for explanations given by someone else; as he said it, that is how it will be; and he said it would be a total secret, which will be revealed to the Church-Bride.

Now, the Coming of the Lord is typified, represented, in the birth of Rev. William Branham’s son: Joseph.

That is why when the Angel shows him the book about Joseph, shows him about Joseph, and then Rev. William Branham says: “Joseph is coming! Joseph is coming!” he is announcing the Coming of the Lord typified in Joseph.

And Joseph… Joseph is the one who has the Birthright Blessing. Through Ephraim and Manasseh, the Birthright Blessing was given to Joseph, when Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph; and the greatest blessing fell upon Ephraim, who was the youngest.¹

And Joseph tells his father: “Not so, my lord,” or, “Not so, my father.”² They were both prophets. Two prophets… see? When there are two prophets at the same time, sometimes there are problems, because each one wants to lead things.

But Jacob was still in effect, and he was his father, and he was the one who had the Birthright Blessing. Joseph didn’t have it. Jacob was the one who had it to pass it to one of his sons; and he passed it directly to one of his sons through his grandsons.

If Joseph passed it on, he would pass it on to Manasseh. Like Isaac, if he would have given it consciously, he would have given it to Esau. What would that mean? He would give it to Rome at this time; because it is the Birthright Blessing, which is connected to the Kingdom of God on Earth.

They were fighting back then, and they have also been fighting for two thousand years; because what they want is the Birthright Blessing of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

In the days of Jesus, the struggle was for the blessing of the heavenly Throne, but Christ obtained the victory. The enemy wanted to put Judas Iscariot on the Throne there (it was through Judas Iscariot), but he hung him, but he… he died on a tree, but he was hung; it was done by himself; and the Messiah had to die not of Himself, but they would kill Him. He used the wrong tree and the wrong way; and then, he had to go back to his original place, to the fifth dimension.

But Christ obtained the victory, He died the right way: as the Sacrifice of Atonement, taking the sins of the people; He went to hell because He had to go there (because every sinner must go to hell), and He bore the sins of the people there, He took them far away; just like the goat over which the sins of the people were confessed, and it took them far away;³ because Christ is represented in the goat of the sin offering and also in the other goat that wasn’t sacrificed but the sins of the people were confessed over that goat.

Both of them typify Christ: The goat of atonement: Christ in His physical body; and the goat over which the sins were confessed: Christ in His heavenly body.

That is why He went to hell in His heavenly body, and He took the sins of the people there. And He came out without the sins of the people, and He came out victorious with the keys of hell and death; He went on to where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the other prophets were, the people of the Old Covenant, and He brought them out of there, out of that dimension, out of the Bosom of Abraham; and they rose with Him on the day of resurrection; they appeared to many in the city, and young.⁴

And then, when Christ finishes His days on Earth (40 days with His disciples), He ascends to Heaven with them. The Psalm is fulfilled… which one? (23 or 24, Miguel?) 24: “Open up, oh ye gates, [lift up] your heads; and the King of glory shall come in.” And those who are in Heaven ask: “Who is this King of Glory?” And the saints who are going with Christ say: “The Lord, mighty in battle. He is the King of Glory.” That was Christ; one would say Yeshua.

And thus, well, notice how this promise was fulfilled in Christ, and it was among the people who were under the Covenant pertaining to that time. And the promises for the New Covenant are fulfilled among the people who are in the New Covenant.

Now: “Joseph is coming! Joseph is coming!” Rev. William Branham is crying out. A son who would be named Joseph would physically come, and he becomes a type and figure of the Second Coming of Christ. As simple as that.

That is the great mystery and blessing of that son of Brother Branham: that he is a type and figure of the Second Coming of Christ; and therefore, there is a great blessing for him. But the Second Coming of Christ is not fulfilled in him, rather, he is only the type and figure; just as Joseph was and as other people were, like David, like Solomon too, and so on.

And now, we also have… And all of that has to be fulfilled among the Church: Christ coming to His Church; for His Church is the One that has the promise of His Coming at the Last Day.

And that mystery will be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It doesn’t have to be opened to the whole world, but to His Church, because Christ comes for His Church; because the time for the transformation and the rapture has come: it’s at the Last Day.

And the Last Day is the seventh millennium from Adam to now. And according to the Gregorian calendar, we are already at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium from Adam to now or the third millennium from Christ to now; because one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”⁵

We have the other samples of what the Third Pull among the Church will be:

• The other one was the creation of squirrels: that is creation by the spoken Word.

We find that squirrels which people eat, that speaks to us of food.

We find that Rev. William Branham talks about the Food for each age: he talks about the Food for the Lutheran age, the Food for the Wesleyan age, the Food for the Pentecostal age; for the Pentecostal age, it seems that he symbolizes it in chickens, right? Or in rabbits; in rabbits, and so on.

And so, “squirrels,” which Food is that representing? Well, the spiritual Food for the Age of the Cornerstone, that Food being brought by the creative Word.

And now: “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord has made ruler over His Household (His Church) to give them Meat in due season (the Word)? Verily I say unto you that when His Lord comes and finds him so doing (that is, giving them that Food), He shall make him ruler over all His goods.” That is in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verses 41 to 47, around there.

And that Meat or Food is the Word of God for the Last Day.

“The faithful servant, whom his Lord, when He comes…” That is, the servant who is in the House of God, the messenger who is in the House of God, giving them the spiritual Food, the Word of God for that time; which is represented in the squirrels that were created.

They were not there; therefore, that speaks to us of a Dispensational Message that wasn’t there, and It is brought to existence by the creative Word, by the Word of God.

And it will be confirmed by the Word of God; it will be shown through the Word and by the Word. And that is the Food for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day, which will give Her the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Now we can see that there are different places where that creative Word was given and squirrels were created. In a place: on a tree branch; on another tree where it couldn’t be possible; and so on. The creative Word was spoken and it became a reality.

And that is the Third Pull. The Third Pull, notice, is for the Bride-Church: a place where It can become a reality. It’s for the foolish virgins as well: a more difficult place. It’s for the world too: an extremely difficult place; but it will work among the world, among the lost too; because the Third Pull is also for the lost who no longer have an opportunity.

That Third Pull: the creative Word being spoken; for it will be spoken among the Church, among the foolish virgins, and among mankind, the world, who no longer have hope. And It will work effectively anywhere.

That Food will be brought for everyone; a Food: the Word they will be able to eat, they will be able to receive; they will be able to testify that it is the Word of God.

Through that creative Word, miracles will also be performed. The miracles, notice, have to do with things that will be created. Rev. William Branham said God is even going to create body parts that some people are missing; whether they are eyes, arms, and so on.

And even beyond that: It is going to produce the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of us who are alive. The resurrection of the dead, represented in the resurrection of the little fish, and the transformation of us who are alive.

And which other one do we have left, Miguel?

• The salvation of the sons of Sister Hattie Wright.

In other words, he will be speaking salvation for the relatives of the believers, for the sons, the daughters, and so on.

And all of that will be done by the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just as Rev. William Branham was told: “Say what you will and it shall be given to you…”⁶ Notice, that also speaks to us of adoption; an adopted son, typified in Rev. William Branham.

And the ministry that will be adopted at the Last Day is the ministry that the Holy Spirit will be operating: the ministries of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus; those are the ministries of the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels at the Last Day; and they will be among the Church of the Lord.

And then the Jews will say: “This is the One we were waiting for.” When they see Him working among the Church-Bride, they will recognize Him.

And that is why you will see an approach take place at the Last Day, where you will see what Rev. William Branham wanted: to approach the Jews to take the Message to them; but when he was already in Egypt to go over to Jerusalem, the Angel told him: “Don’t go there. This is not the hour, this is not the time,”⁷ and he obeyed and didn’t go there.

But at this time, you will see an approach take place among the Church-Bride (led by the messenger of the Last Day) and the Hebrew people, at the level of the leaders of Judaism, for the blessing of the Hebrew people; because there is a promise, a blessing promised, for the Hebrew people.

And when we see that, we should know that what Rev. William Branham wanted is becoming a reality.

It will have a process, which the Church of the Lord will know, will see; although they may not understand it, but they will be seeing it; and some may say: “But look, this is what Brother Branham wanted, and notice how easy it is being done now, how easy it is happening.” It’s because the time has come for that; and that is why God will do it in that way, because it will be God who will be working.

And now, we are living at the end time, where we are seeing so many earthquakes, tidal waves, tsunamis, volcanoes, global warming; which is taking the human race’s hopes for a good future and shows them a future of disasters, as it will happen in the Great Tribulation; it is showing them a picture of what the Great Tribulation will be.

And they haven’t even told mankind the half of it. And if scientists have said it, it is not fully open to the public; even if it is on the internet, the public doesn’t always log in to look at those things; and when they see them, if it is shown scientifically, sometimes they don’t understand it.

But they are here in the Scripture; you can see them more raw here, more plain, what is going to happen; and then see that scientists talk about the same thing, and then see their fulfillment.

There is no hope for this world; there is no hope for the Gentile kingdom, which is in the stage of the feet of iron and clay; there is no hope for that kingdom.

That kingdom, the Scripture says that with the Coming of the Stone cut out without hands it will be destroyed.⁸ The destruction comes during the Great Tribulation.

The Stone first comes to the Church-Bride, to find Her, change Her, and take Her with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

And the Coming of the Lord to His Church is a secret, and will be a secret.

Rev. William Branham says that the rapture will take place and mankind won’t even notice that it happened; and he even says, about the resurrection, that there will be an earthquake that will bring the resurrection.

When Christ resurrected there was a great earthquake, and the saints of the Old Testament resurrected with Him.

He says that the resurrection and the rapture will be during a time of great confusion; therefore, notice, page 429 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, paragraph 391, says:

“[391] For we realize we have just a short time. And the Church might go at any time.

392 The Lamb might, at any time, leave the sanctuary up There, or the Throne of sacrifice, come forth from the Throne of God where the sacrifice lays, and then it’s over; there is no more hopes for the world; she is finished. Then she goes into flusterations, of great spasms of earthquakes, and—and great shakings like it was at the resurrection. And—and, the—the…

393 As Christ rose from the grave, when the saints rise, the same thing will take place.” (It will be the same thing, the same). “Lord, it could be at any minute. We’re watching for that glad day to arrive.”

That is, for the believers it will be a glad day, because the dead will rise in eternal bodies, and we will see them young.

They will be with us. They won’t go to the first age, because that already passed; they won’t go to the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh age, because those already passed. They need to go to the Age of the Adoption, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; an age that Rev. William Branham spoke about. In other words, it is not something made up, but that it was something that was already spoken.

In the book of Quotations it tells us about the age that is coming, the Age of the Cornerstone; that is the Age of the Adoption; just like the Age of the Cornerstone in the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ was the time of His ministry and of His resurrection; and the seventh age in the day of Jesus Christ was the stage of John the Baptist. As simple as that.

John was in the seventh age of the Hebrew Church under the Law, then came the Cornerstone, Christ, who is the Cornerstone, and He opened the Age of the Cornerstone, the stage of the Coming of the Lord.

The Age of the Cornerstone is the stage of the Coming of the Lord, where Christ will fulfill His Coming to His Church.

Just as He came to those who were under the Covenant that was given on Mount Sinai, back in the time of John the Baptist, and then after that was Jesus.

And those who followed John the Baptist, some followed Jesus, and they did the right thing; because the forerunner comes to prepare the people to follow the One who comes after him, who will put them in another age, in a perfect age: the Age of the Cornerstone; because the One who comes after the forerunner is the Cornerstone, He comes for the fulfillment of the Divine Promises for the age or stage of adoption.

In that stage of adoption was where the Holy Spirit came; where the Sacrifice was made, the Holy Spirit came later, the resurrection came; all those blessings came in that Age of the Cornerstone: the spiritual adoption, which is the new birth for all the people who receive Christ as their Savior, are baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptizes them with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and brings forth the new birth.

And that is what happened in that time of the Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles; and then Christ died and rose and ascended to Heaven: the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost, 50 days after the resurrection of Christ.

And now, we see that the creation of a new race began there in the time of Jesus with Christ resurrected in a glorified body; He is then the first of the new race with Eternal Life, and then 120 who were filled with the Spirit and obtained the new birth; they were born into a new race with Eternal Life, which forms the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And millions of human beings have been born in that new race with Eternal Life, they have been born into the Kingdom of God. That new birth, that birth that Christ spoke to Nicodemus about, which is of Water and of the Spirit, in other words, of the Gospel of Christ and of the Holy Spirit; it is not a birth that pertains to the Gentile kingdom.

In the kingdom of the Gentiles or kingdom of this world we are born through our earthly parents; in the Kingdom of God we are born of Water and of the Spirit: of the Gospel of Christ and of the Holy Spirit, and that birth is of Heaven, and therefore, it is unto Eternal Life.

We are born to Eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom, we obtain that inner transformation there, where we obtain the heavenly body; and then we will receive the physical transformation, which is the second part of the Program of Redemption; it will be the redemption of the body, which Ephesians 4:30 speaks about:

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

The Day of Redemption is the seventh millennium from Adam to now, as a day before God; and as an age it is also the Age of the Cornerstone; and as a dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom. As simple as that. And the Message, well, It is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, through which the entire mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His Church at the Last Day is revealed.

With the Message of the Gospel of Grace, the mystery of the Seventh Seal is not revealed, because with the Gospel of Grace the mystery of the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God is revealed; but the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah is revealed with the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Gospel of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

That is the Message that the Hebrew people will receive and that the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ will receive at the Last Day to obtain the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

So, we can see where we are in our time, what is the Message pertaining to our time: the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet or Trumpet of God. That is the Message that gives us the faith to be changed and raptured, the Message which speaks to us of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work; which speaks to us about the Coming of the Lord to His Church at the Last Day for our transformation and catching away to Heaven.

And when the Jews see Christ coming for His Church, see the Mighty Angel coming down from Heaven and being among His Church (in Revelation 10), they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for!” But He is not coming for them, even though He is the Messenger to Israel, it says so here…

It is important to know these things, in order to know where we stand at the Last Day.

Pages 69 to 70 of the Book of The Seals, paragraph 29 and on:

“29 This Seven-Seal Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10.”

“This Seven-Seal Book”: the Book of the Seven Seals.

Through Rev. William Branham, He is prophetically making known to us what will happen when the time comes for the fulfillment of the opening of the Seven Seals in Heaven, which will be after Christ completes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, leaves the Throne of Intercession, takes the Title Deed, and opens It in Heaven. But God has to give us a sample, to show us what He will do when that time comes.

When God made known to His Church these things that will happen when Christ finishes His Work of Intercession, He was making known to His people all those things that must come to pass, even though at that time the Title Deed was not in the hand of Christ, and It was not opened, rather, it is a prophecy. He says: “This is how it will be when that time comes.” That is why he says:

“29 This Seven-Seal Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10.”

And in Revelation 10, the Mighty Angel, who is Christ coming for His Church, we find Him crying as a lion; therefore, He will have changed from Lamb to Lion; He will no longer be High Priest but King and Judge.

It says:

“[29] (…) Let’s turn to Revelation 10, just a moment, so you’ll get an understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end time. For, listen…”

See? When that happens, it is already the end time.

Then we find throughout the different messages of this series The Revelation Of The Seven Seals that Rev. William Branham says: “He is still on the Throne of Intercession as High Priest.” But this will happen this way when He finishes His time of intercession and takes the Title Deed; but He is still the Lamb and High Priest, there is still an opportunity for salvation.

“[29] …I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…

30 If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant,” (notice, He is the Angel of the Covenant). “And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished.”

And now notice, He is coming to the Jews; it is because the Coming of the Lord is to the Jews; It is also to the Church-Bride, because She will still be here when He comes down as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices:

“[30] See? All right.

…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

31 You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”

And now, the Messenger to Israel comes for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for His Church, because the time has come for His Church to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; because the number of the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have been completed.

And now, since we are at this time, although the Door of Mercy is still open and Christ is High Priest in Heaven, everything is getting ready for Christ to take the Title Deed; and He will do that when He completes His Church.

That is why we work in the missionary and evangelistic work, taking the Gospel of Christ to everyone, so that the very last elect enters His Church, and His Church is completed; and then Christ will have finished His Work of Intercession, and He will carry out His Claiming Work by taking the Title Deed.

And that Work will already be as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords; as the Kinsman Redeemer, who takes the Deed to carry out the physical redemption, which is the transformation of the living and the resurrection of the dead believers in Christ into glorified bodies.

And we will stop there, on the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, who is Christ; that is where the great mystery is. Revelation 10: that is the Coming of Christ to His Church with the Title Deed at the Last Day; the Deed of Eternal Life, the Title Deed of Eternal Life, the Title Deed of all Creation.

Without that Deed among the Church, there won’t be a transformation for the living nor a resurrection for the dead in Christ.

But God has always put the Word, the Message pertaining to each age, in the mouth of the messenger of each age; He has given It to him so that he eats that Message. He eats It, speaks It, and God’s Program contained in that Message is carried out.

That is how it will be at this end time. The instrument that God will have on Earth, in the Age of the Cornerstone, will be receiving the Mighty Angel; being represented—that messenger who will receive the Mighty Angel being represented in John the Apostle; because John the Apostle represents the Church and represents all the messengers of the Church, from the first to the last.

And John eating the Title Deed… First John seeing the Coming of the Mighty Angel: is the messenger with his group seeing the Coming of the Lord, of the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven; and receiving that Title Deed: is receiving the Title Deed that Adam had, It was given to him, he lost the right to have It, and God took It back in His hand. It has been in the hand of God for thousands of years; but at the Last Day It is given to Christ: Christ opens It in Heaven to make His Claiming Work, and He brings It to Earth and gives It to a man so that he eats It.

And then he is told: “It will be sweet in your mouth, though in your belly it will be bitter.” “Sweet,” because the Word of God is the sweetest thing there is; like honey, the Scripture says.⁹ But for the Word of God, great bitterness is endured. That part is bitter, but receiving the Word, eating the Word, loving the Word, is sweet.

And he is told [Revelation 10:11]:

“Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

That is the last prophetic Message from God. And the one who eats that little Book, well, he will be the messenger who will prophesy all the things that will come upon the Earth, upon the human race; he is the one who will prophesy about the rapturing faith, about all the things that have to do with the transformation and rapture; he will also be the one who will prophesy or speak about the things that will be happening among the Church; and it will be according to what was already prophesied, to what God already spoke.

And he will also be prophesying the Vials and the Plagues (the judgments), speaking about all those terrible things that will come upon the Earth; “for you must prophesy before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.” Revelation chapter 10, verses 1 to 11.

And Revelation 11: we have the ministry of the Two Anointed Ones or Two Olive Trees (Revelation 11, verse 1 to 14) prophesying.

And Revelation 11:15 to 19, when the last Angel or seventh Angel has sounded the Trumpet, then something very important will take place. And then, once He has finished, the kingdoms of this world will go to the hand of our Lord and of His Christ, of God and of His Christ; and God will judge and give the reward to His servants the prophets, to the righteous, to the saints.

[Revelation 11:18] “…and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”

There you have the Divine Judgment upon the Earth, upon the Gentile kingdom, with all its systems.

Notice all the things that prophetic Message will be speaking. It will cover… everything God has to speak, He will speak it under that Message, through the one who eats the little Book that was sealed and opened; and therefore, there will be a great blessing for the Church-Bride of the Lord.

Revelation chapter 7, an Angel with the Seal of the living God appears, meaning, with the Holy Spirit manifested in him; and that will be a man who receives the Morning Star; because “he that overcometh,” He says (among the things He will give him), He will give him the Morning Star.

And Christ says… That is in Revelation 2, verses 26 to 28.

And Revelation 22:16 says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

What is He going to give the Overcomer when He tells him that He will give him the Morning Star? Well, He will give him Christ, he will have Christ in him; he will have Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, manifesting Himself in him, fulfilling the Divine Promises for our time.

That is why, by giving him the Morning Star (which is the Holy Spirit, the Pillar of Fire), He will also be giving him the Title Deed, which is brought by the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit; and everything will be in that instrument that God will have at the Last Day.

He is the same one who appears in Revelation chapter 14, verses 1 to 7. When the 144,000 appear with the Lamb on Mount Zion, and with their Father’s Name and the Lamb’s Name in their foreheads, the Angel with the Everlasting Gospel also appears, to preach It to them that dwell on the Earth; to every nation, people, tongue, and group:

[Revelation 14:7] “…saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him,” (and give honor to Him); “for the hour of his judgment is come.”

He comes announcing to them that the Divine Judgment, the hour of the Divine Judgment has come, the time for the Divine Judgment has come; and He recommends that they give Him glory and honor, that they worship God, that they serve God.

There we have the Angel with the Seal of the living God, the Messenger with the Holy Spirit, prophesying over many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.

We will be seeing all of that; and therefore, we will be seeing the fulfillment of those promises, and the effect that the fulfillment of those promises will bring.

Therefore, let’s hold on tight to the Word of the Lord, knowing that the last opportunity for mercy—for mankind—comes under the ministries of Moses and Elijah; not under the ministry of the seventh angel anymore, because his time already ended and his age also ended.

So that it’s clear to us that the last opportunity for mercy is under the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, let’s read pages 424 to 425 of the Book of The Seals, where it says… paragraph 360… or 359 and on, says:

“359 It’s time for the Sixth Seal, pretty soon, to be opening up. And when she does, oh, my, it ends! The Bride has done gone forth, she has done…the Queen has done went to take Her place; She has been married now, to the King, while this is going on. And Israel’s remnant,” (which are, well, 144,000), “is sealed and ready to go, and then nature lets go. Oh, what a time!

360 Notice the last verse of the Sixth Seal, opened. Those who had laughed at the preaching of the Word, of the vindicated Word of the living God; when them prophets had stood there and performed miracles, closed the sun, and everything else, and all down through the age. See, ‘They cried for the rocks and the mountains to hide them,’ see, to hide them from the Word that they had laughed at, ’cause they seen Him come. ‘Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.’ He is the Word. See? They had laughed at the Word. And here the Word was, incarnate,” (the Word, the Word incarnate). “And they had made fun of It; laughed at them, made fun of them. And the incarnate Word had dropped forth!

361 Why didn’t they repent? They couldn’t. It was too far, then. So, they knowed that, the punishment. They hear It. They had sat in meetings like this and knowed about It. And they knowed that the things of those prophets, had predicted, was looking them right in the face, the thing that they had rejected. They had spurned mercy for the last time.”

See when mankind spurns God’s mercy for the last time? Under the ministry of Moses and Elijah.

“362 And when you spurn mercy, there is nothing left but judgment. When you spurn mercy;” (he says), “just think of it.”

And now, we can see what is appointed to take place among the Church and then among the Hebrew people.

And now we can see why in the time of the forerunner of the Coming of the Lord, it wasn’t possible to deal with the Hebrew people.

Because God in His Program has the way that He will deal with the Hebrew people: it has to be according to the Word, according to the time, and according to the messenger that God has to deal with the Hebrew people. And it has to be according to the promise of the Two Olive Trees; to the promise of the coming of Elijah in his fifth manifestation, not in his fourth manifestation.

Page 471 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, and page 523, there they ask him, when: “Will the fourth Elijah be the same one who…?” Let’s read it here: paragraph 203 of page 471, question 17, says:

“[203] 189. Brother Branham, is the seventh angel, with the spirit of Elijah, the same man as the Elijah sent to the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews during the three and a half years after the Rapture? Some of us are mixed up, in this.

204 No. He isn’t the same,” (that is why the Angel didn’t let him go. As simple as that). “See, it’s two different men.”

The fourth Elijah is not the fifth Elijah, just like the third Elijah is not the fourth Elijah, and just like the second Elijah (who was Elisha) is not the third Elijah, and just like the first Elijah is not the second Elijah: Elisha. They are different men in different times, different stages or ages of the Divine Program. It will always be a man, but with the Spirit and power of Elijah operated by the Holy Spirit.

The Hebrew people are waiting for the Coming of Elijah, but they know it is not literally the same Elijah, but a man in whom God will operate the ministry of Elijah.

“[204] …And the spirit of Elijah who came upon a man called John the Baptist was not Elijah. And the man of the seventh angel messenger, at the end of the Laodicean Age, will not be the literal Elijah. He’ll be a Gentile, to his people.

205 Elijah will, or the spirit of Elijah then, coming in the…and to the people there, he will be a Jew, see, for they’re sent to their own people. That’s my revelation.”

That is Rev. William Branham’s revelation. So, the people, the Church of the Lord, won’t be waiting for the fifth Elijah coming, as the seventh messenger of the Gentile Church in the seventh age again.

Now, those ministries of Moses and Elijah will be in the Church; because as the Jews brought the Gospel to the Gentiles, the Gentiles will take It to the Jews.

They brought It to the Gentiles through Peter and Paul, who are a type and figure of Moses and Elijah. And through the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which will be operating in the Church of the Lord by the Holy Spirit, the Gospel will go back to the Jews; it will be the Gospel of the Kingdom going back to the Jews, just like the Gospel of Grace came to the Gentiles.

And that is when they will understand the mystery of the Coming of the Lord back then, two thousand years ago, the mystery of the Gospel of Grace; they will understand all of that under the Gospel of the Kingdom.

And now, they will be receiving the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message for them; because God deals with the Hebrew people as a nation, and He deals with the Gentiles as individuals; and God deals under the Dispensation of Grace as individuals.

May God bless you and keep you, and continue to use you greatly in His Work, and to fill you with the knowledge of the Divine Program for our time.

It was a short greeting that I had agreed to with Miguel, a short greeting for all of you; but the short greeting turned into a greeting that has lasted several minutes; and that is why I didn’t want to use this other place, we left it there, since it was a few words for the ministers’ meeting.

But in a few minutes we will be back together with the whole congregation, at what time? [Brother: At 6:00 o’clock in the evening.] And what time is it? [Brother: It’s exactly 5:15 now.] So, we will continue in a few minutes… In how many minutes? In 45 minutes we will continue with everyone.

“JESUS CHRIST DELIVERING WHAT THE ENEMY BOUND.” That is the subject for this evening.

And the subject that was for the ministers, that subject has been pending for over 30 years; and we are not going to discuss it here, maybe that will be in the Tent Cathedral, perhaps. But in the meantime, make the most of the ministers’ meetings by listening to the messages, because that will prepare you.

If, instead of taking advantage by listening to the messages, one of you starts talking, then you are responsible for whether or not all of you are prepared to receive what is going to be revealed.

That is why Miguel always says in ministers’ meetings: “Keep listening to the tapes until we arrive;” so take advantage that way. As for singing, well, sing what you are going to sing, one or two songs, and then take advantage by listening, because that is what you come to do; and so that you continue to feed your soul, and your faith continues to be fed and to grow. The disciples say: “Increase our faith;”¹⁰ faith comes by hearing, and by hearing… the Word;¹¹ and faith increases by hearing.

Therefore, take advantage by increasing your faith. Do you want God to increase your faith? Then, Word upon Word; so that your faith increases; because faith is revelation, and thus, faith grows as the revelation comes.

So, your faith cells start multiplying, and then you have a greater faith, your faith grows; just like cells multiply with food, they grow, cell after cell. If you don’t eat, then there are no cells that can multiply; the ones you have die off, and life is over; but if you eat, then the cells start multiplying, growing, the cells get stronger, with food.

Redeem the time so that this way we are prepared.

When this mystery of… that you had for me here: “THE DUALITY OF THE SECOND ADAM: THE GREAT MYSTERY OF CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH”: that mystery is going to be opened under the Seventh Seal; it is tied to the Seventh Seal, it is tied to God’s entire Program pertaining to this end time.

Therefore, pray a lot for those blessings that God has promised; and be attentive, hearing the Word, so that when the mystery is opened, you don’t stumble; because he who is not prepared always stumbles.

He who is prepared and whose faith is well strengthened, well increased, the only thing he will be able to say is: “I expected it to be this way.”

So, may God bless you and keep you. I will leave the Missionary, Dr. Miguel Bermúdez Marín, with you to conclude our participation on this occasion.

God bless and keep you all.

“THE DUALITY OF THE SECOND ADAM: THE GREAT MYSTERY OF CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH.”
