Good morning, beloved friends and brethren present and viewers. May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each of you and me too, and speak directly to our soul on this occasion, and allow us to understand His Word, reveal His Word in our souls on this occasion, and thus fill us with the knowledge of His Program for this end time. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
I want to read in Revelation, chapter 10, verses 1 and on, where it tells us as follows:
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:…”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our topic for this occasion is “THE END OF TIME.”
The end of time has been announced since the Old Testament; and we find that here, in the book of Revelation, it also speaks of the end of time; but we see that also in the Revelation of the Old Testament, which is the book of the prophet Daniel, God also spoke of the end of time, and showed the prophet Daniel something very important: the prophet Daniel also saw this Mighty Angel there. In chapter 12 and verses 4 and on it says, of the book of the prophet Daniel:
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”
Here we find, in this passage of the book of the prophet Daniel, that God showed the prophet Daniel the same thing that He showed the apostle Saint John.
This Angel that is upon the waters of the river, there in the book of the prophet Daniel, is Christ; and this Angel that appears here, in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, that descends from Heaven and places His right foot upon the sea and the left foot upon the Earth, is also the same character: it is Christ in the end time, coming according to His promise made to His Church for this end time.
Now, see how we also find these other two characters in the book of the prophet Daniel, one on one side of the river and the other on the other side of the river. We find that all of that is type and figure of what will be happening in the end time.
See how the Coming of Christ back then is shown on the river, with an Angel on one side and another Angel on the other side, and Christ upon the waters of the river. The Angel on one side of the river, one is the Archangel Michael and the other is the Archangel Gabriel.
This Angel or Archangel Gabriel was the one who brought the revelation to the prophet Daniel there in the Old Testament; and that Angel Messenger is the one who also brought the good tidings or good news of the First Coming of Christ, for it was the Angel or Archangel sent by God to give the good news to the priest Zechariah that he would have a son through his wife Elizabeth, who was sterile and already advanced in age, and the priest Zechariah was also an elderly man, and they had not had children.
And now, you see, they had prayed to God for a son, and now God was going to grant them the petition; for the prayer of the priest Zechariah had come before God, and He was going to grant him a son even in the old age of the priest Zechariah. So it was going to be a joy for the priest Zechariah; although later he would not have many years left to live, but he would be enjoying the arrival of a son that was promised in the Old Testament as the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ.
In the Old Testament the prophets had spoken of this person who would come, and now the priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth would be the blessed people who would have this child born into their family. It was a very privileged marriage; although they were already old and had no children, but God sent them a child even when they were already advanced in age.
The priest Zechariah, when he received the visit of the Archangel Gabriel was ministering in the temple and was in the work of offering incense to God there in the temple; and the Archangel Gabriel appeared to him there in the temple, he tells us in chapter 1 of the book of Luke, verses… Let’s see… verse 8 and on says (Zechariah)… Let’s start on verse 5 of chapter 1 of the book or Gospel according to Luke, it says:
“There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.”
The altar of incense was in the holy place, opposite the entrance of the most holy place; and when incense was offered, the prayers of the people were offered there, the supplications of the people, and the worship of the people were also brought before the Lord. Now, notice, it says:
“And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before him (that is, before the Lord) in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel…”
The Archangel Gabriel had not identified himself yet; the priest Zechariah knew he was an Angel of God. Look where he comes to: he comes, he says he came there, “on the right side of the altar of incense”, there the Angel or Archangel Gabriel placed himself; but the priest Zechariah didn’t know who that Angel was; but now the Angel tells him:
“I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.”
Now see how here, this expression of the priest Zechariah asking the Archangel Gabriel how this would be; he says:
“And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.”
The hopes of the priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth, the hopes of the request they had made to God to give them a child, were already gone and so was their faith; for here the Archangel says:
“…because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.”
In other words, the good news that the Archangel Gabriel was giving to the priest Zechariah, of the coming of the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ being born of them, of that marriage, of the marriage of Zechariah with Elizabeth; that promise that was in the Bible, and now which is being confirmed to be fulfilled to the priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth; the priest Zechariah didn’t believe it: He didn’t believe that this promise would be fulfilled by having a child, because he thought that he was already old and that the request he had made to God, God would not fulfill it, God would not grant him a child; but look, the Archangel says that his request had been heard before God.
And when the person sees that what he has asked God for is delayed, he must think: “Well, the blessing He is going to give me is greater than I imagined.”
And now, the blessing of a son, which the priest Zechariah was asking God, that blessing of having a son was going to be so great that that son would be the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ; he would be a prophet who would come, which was promised to appear at that time when God would give that son to the priest Zechariah.
By the time the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the priest Zechariah, it was the time when that child had to appear on Earth, but first it had to be conceived in the womb of a woman; and there was the priest Zechariah, who would be the instrument of God with his wife for the coming of the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, in which the ministry of Elijah would come manifested for the third time; because when God promises the coming of a prophet who already came in the past, when God fulfills that promise again, it is the ministry of that prophet coming in another man.
You see, the ministry of Elijah was on the Earth in the midst of the Hebrew people for the first time in Elijah the Tishbite, and for the second time in Elisha, and for the third time the ministry of Elijah in the prophet John the Baptist was forerunning the First Coming of Christ.
And for this end time, the promise of the coming of Elijah is also pointed out in the Scripture; and that is the coming of Elijah for the fourth time, which is the coming of the ministry of Elijah, the ministry of Elijah coming in another man, forerunning the Second Coming of Christ. That promise has also been fulfilled at this time: in the Reverend William Marrion Branham of North America.
Now see how God fulfills His promises, and there are people who don’t even believe in what God has promised to be fulfilled in the time in which they are living.
And now, you see, the priest Zechariah couldn’t believe that he would have that son that he had asked God for, and that that son would be the one who would be preparing the way for the Lord, that is, the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, which would be —in the prophecies— the coming of Elijah.
But when God says that Elijah is coming, the ministry of Elijah comes in a man of the time where God fulfills that promise.
That is why the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, when he was preaching on the occasion when he was answering questions, was also asked a very important question; this was on March 24, 1963, when he was preaching about the seven Seals of Revelation and chapters 6 and on. We find that he had activity, and in those activities he had a day for questions and answers; and in those questions and answers, one of them, number 11, which appears on page 399 of the book of The Seals in English, was1:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth in the days of Ahab, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?”
In other words, he is talking about the fifth Elijah, he is asking who the fifth Elijah will be: if he will be literally the prophet Elijah who was here thousands of years ago, in Ahab’s time (that is, the first Elijah, Elijah the Tishbite), or will he be a man of this time anointed with that ministerial spirit of the prophet Elijah. Now, he says:
“148 Now, if I could answer that correctly, I could tell you about Enoch, see. But I—I can’t do it, see. Only thing I know is, just, the Scripture says what it will be.”
He says that the only thing he could do is what? It is:
“Only thing I know is (the only thing he knows is what?), just, the Scripture says what it will be.”
And let’s see how he says it will be. It says:
“I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see when Elijah had gone up and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, he says, ‘Does not… on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did, see.”
Now, what will the Hebrew people be looking for in this end time?; because they have the promise that Elijah will come first for the Hebrew people and then the Messiah; because the Hebrew people is waiting for the coming of the prophet Elijah.
That is why in one of the important feasts of the Hebrew people, they place on the table, on the night they are going to take that glass of wine, they also place a glass of wine for the prophet Elijah; because they are waiting for the coming of the prophet Elijah.
Now, what will the coming of the prophet Elijah be for the Hebrew people? It will be the coming of the ministerial spirit of the prophet Elijah in a man of this end time.
What will the Hebrews be looking for in this end time regarding the coming of the prophet Elijah and regarding the coming of the Messiah?
They are looking for the coming of a man in whom God is manifested, where the Spirit of God is manifested: they are looking for a man anointed with the Spirit of God. Because when it speaks of the Messiah, the Christ (Christ: Messiah), and what Messiah means is ‘Anointed’; they are looking for the Anointed One with the Spirit of God, they are looking for that promised Messiah to appear in this end time. And they are looking for the coming of the prophet Elijah.
And what will the coming of the prophet Elijah be for the Hebrew people? It will be the fifth manifestation of Elijah’s ministry in human flesh in a man of this end time.
And since the ministry of Elijah, where has it been the entire time? It has been in the Temple of God the entire time… Just as the ministry of Moses was in the Temple of God, it was in the Outer Court of the Temple of God; the Outer Court of the Temple of God, speaking of the human race as a Temple; because the human being has been created by God to be a temple of God.
And see, the human race as a Temple, from Adam to Christ lived in the part pertaining to the Outer Court; and that is why we find that the ministries of Adam to Christ were carried out in the part of the Outer Court; and the Sacrifice of Christ, notice, it was carried out in that part of the human race as the Temple of God, in the part that pertains to the Outer Court of the human race.
And this is according to the way the sacrifice was carried out in the temple, for it was in the outer court where the sacrifice was carried out and the sacrifice was offered there, on the altar of fire. And so, you see, in the Outer Court of the human race, which pertains to the time from Adam to Christ, Christ came and offered His body as a living sacrifice for every human being, thus carrying our sins.
We find that the ministries of all of God’s prophets from Adam to Christ were carried out in that part of the human race as the Temple of God. We find that the ministry of Moses was in that part, also the ministry of the prophet Samuel, as well as the ministry of Joshua, as well as the ministries of the different prophets of God, such as Elijah, Elisha and all those prophets of God; those ministries pertain to the Outer Court of the House of God.
And then we find that the ministry of Christ not only remained in the Outer Court, but after He died and resurrected, we find that He entered the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven.
We find, notice, that Christ carries out His Sacrifice here on Earth in the part of the Outer Court, because this planet Earth also corresponds to the Outer Court. And then, when Christ went to Paradise, we find that He was there with the saints who were in Paradise; and then, when He resurrected, the Old Testament saints resurrected with Christ2.
And then, when He ascended to Heaven, He went to the Most Holy Place of the Temple of God, of that heavenly Temple, and presented Himself as High Priest with His own Blood, High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek; because He is that Melchizedek who appeared to the prophet and patriarch Abraham, the father of faith3. He is that Melchizedek, without father and without beginning of days and without end of time, He is the Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven4.
Now see how the priest of the earthly temple that was established in the midst of the Hebrew people there in Jerusalem, and also the tabernacle and in the tabernacle that Moses raised there in the desert; the high priest, notice, in order to bring the blood of atonement to the most holy place, he had to go to the outer court, because in the outer court was that the sacrifice was carried out.
And the high priest carried out the sacrifice of the goat; and then he took that blood and placed it there, in the established place, both in the outer court, holy place and also most holy place.
In order to reach the most holy place, first he had to be in the place of the outer court, and then he had to pass with that blood through the holy place, and then he would pass to the most holy place, and there he would sprinkle that blood of atonement there on the mercy seat.
And look how he did it, how he did when he passed by the place…, when he arrived at the most holy place; it says, let’s see… First he had to enter with the blood of the red calf, which had been sacrificed by the high priest and the family (his family, the priestly family); and then he would leave the most holy place for the sacrifice of the goat of atonement. It says… Let’s see how it says here: “And he shall take…” Leviticus, chapter 16, verse 5 and on, says:
“And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself (in other words, it is that red calf), and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering (the high priest was the one who carried out the sacrifice of the goat).
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord (that altar is the one that is before entering the most holy place), and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail.”
In other words, he would enter behind the veil into the most holy place, with the blood of this calf or red calf, for the reconciliation of the high priest and his house with God.
Now, see why the Hebrew people are expectant these days: because a red calf has been born in the land of Israel, like the one they used for this purpose. And see how the high priest had to offer this atonement for the reconciliation of himself and his house, that is, the priesthood, in order to minister in the presence of God. And surely they think that from one moment to another something very great will be happening for the Hebrew nation.
Now, look, he enters the most holy place with the incense burner; it says:
“And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not…”
That is, if he didn’t enter this way, the high priest would die there. That is why Aaron’s sons, two sons of Aaron, who entered with censers but with a strange fire, died in the most holy place5. It says:
“And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.”
In other words, notice, upon the mercy seat (the mercy seat…); it says:
“And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.”
The mercy seat, standing before the high priest, as he entered… Let’s say that he comes from there, from the east, because he is in the outer court; after the outer court, he already comes with the blood; and then, when he passes into the holy place, before entering the most holy place, he takes the censer that is there in the holy place, where the altar of incense is, and fills it with fire from the altar; and he also takes a handful… it says:
“…and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail.”
So he enters with the censer and his hands full of that perfume that is milled, what for? To present himself before God there and to place in the censer (which is with that fire of the altar, those burning coals), to pour there on the censer; and when he throws that ground incense there, it lights up, and smoke starts coming out of the censer.
See, and he takes, with his finger, of the blood that he also carries of the calf or red calf, which was sacrificed in atonement for the high priest and for his house, for his family, and then sprinkles it seven times upon the east side of the mercy seat.
He comes walking, takes the censer; and then passes the curtain (the door, which has a curtain), passes through the curtain, passes to the other side; and stands before the ark of the covenant. And upon the ark of the covenant: the lid of the ark of the covenant is the mercy seat or seat of mercy, the seat or throne of mercy; and there he stands with the censer, facing the ark of the covenant; he pours that ground incense into the censer, and that whole place is filled with smoke, the mercy seat is filled with smoke; it says:
“And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not.”
And then he takes of the blood of the calf which he carries in a certain vessel, and sprinkles it seven times with his finger; that is, he puts his finger in the vessel and sprinkles, see?, in that way; and that eastern part, which is the eastern part of the mercy seat, is the part that is before the high priest.
Let’s say, the high priest places himself there facing this way, and this is the part that is left facing east; the eastern part of the mercy seat, well, is here, the western part is here, and the northern part is this one, and the eastern part… The eastern part is this one, the western part is this one, the northern part is this one, and this is the southern part. See?
Now, he spreads his finger over the eastern part of the mercy seat; and God is there, on the mercy seat; and on the southern part of the mercy seat is a cherub, and on the northern part is another cherub.
Now look how God is in the middle of the two golden cherubim there, type and figure there of what happened on Mount Sinai as well as…; because Moses there, on Mount Sinai, was that he saw everything that later he did on Earth by divine order.
God showed him in Heaven the Temple of Heaven, and showed him the model of what would be built by the prophet Moses by divine order6</sup>; in other words, that is the model of the Temple that is in Heaven. Everything is typified in that tabernacle built by Moses and in that temple built by the king Solomon.
Now, see how here the high priest, after doing this… When it is spoken of seven times, it speaks of seven ages. Now look:
“Then shall he kill the goat…”
That is, he then has to go out: go out, change his clothes, go to sacrifice the goat; and after he sacrifices it, then he changes his clothes again and puts on the white robe with which he enters the most holy place. For the sacrifice of the goat he puts on the golden garment, the gold garments; but to enter the most holy place he enters with a robe, a garment or white robe, of linen. Now, you see, it says:
“Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat (he will do as he did with the blood of the calf or red calf):
And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.”
In other words, that work has to be done by the high priest.
And now Christ, the High Priest of the Temple which is in Heaven, has been doing that same work. He came here to Earth to offer the Sacrifice of His body for our sins, as an atonement for all of us; then, look, He passed through Paradise and then resurrected with the saints of the Old Testament; and then He entered Heaven, when He ascended to Heaven, and presented Himself in Heaven with the Blood of His own Sacrifice carried out on Calvary’s Cross.
To the Temple that is in Heaven, to the place of intercession, which is the Most Holy Place, where the Throne of Mercy or Place of Mercy or Seat of Mercy is, no one can enter, except our Lord Jesus Christ with the Blood of His own Sacrifice; therefore, He places Himself there with His own Blood.
And since He ascended to Heaven, He has kept His Blood in the place of intercession, upon the Mercy Seat, which is the Throne of Intercession or Seat of Mercy, so that He may be interceding and obtaining mercy for the Priestly Order of Melchizedek; for Christ is the Melchizedek, the High Priest who ministers in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place of the Temple of God.
But the Scripture says that He has cleansed us, has washed us with His Blood; so says Revelation, chapter 1 and verses 5 and on, where it says:
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
And on Revelation, chapter 5, verse 8 and on, says (8 to 10, says):
“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints (those golden vials filled with incense are what? The prayers of the saints).
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Now see how Christ has washed us from our sins with His Blood through His Sacrifice, and has made us for our God kings and priests.
In Revelation, chapter 20, right here we read that He has made us kings and priests, and it says:
“…and we shall reign on the earth.”
Now, how is it possible that a priest is going to reign upon the Earth? It is that according to the Order of Melchizedek, the priest also has his position as king.
Christ, being the High Priest of the Temple that is in Heaven, He is the Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham; and the Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham is Priest and King. And therefore, all who have been washed with the Blood of Christ and have received the Spirit of Christ: they have been cleansed with the Blood of Christ, He has cleansed us with His Blood, and has made us unto our God kings and priests of that Temple which is in Heaven.
And now see how the Priestly Order of the Temple which is in Heaven corresponds to Melchizedek and to all those who are washed with the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Melchizedek of the Temple which is in Heaven.
And now look how, being priests of the Temple which is in Heaven along with our Lord Jesus Christ, during the glorious Millennial Kingdom we will be reigning with Christ here on Earth; and therefore we will have the privilege of being kings and priests. And therefore, from this Earth, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, during the Millennial Kingdom, reigning with Christ, will have the representation of Heaven here on Earth, materialized in the members of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is why there will be a priestly order here on Earth belonging to the Temple that is in Heaven, of which Jesus Christ is the High Priest; and He is also the King of kings and Lord of lords, and we with Him are kings too and priests too.
Now see how that heavenly Order, the Order according to Melchizedek, was reflected in Aaron’s order, with Aaron as the high priest and the other priests ministering in the temple, which was a reflection of the Temple that is in Heaven.
And if the temple built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon was a reflection, a type and figure of the Temple which is in Heaven, the priesthood there was also a reflection of the heavenly Priesthood, the Priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek.
Now we can see how also for the glorious Millennial Kingdom, the Hebrew people, which has also been type and figure of the Temple that is in Heaven…; because the Hebrew people as a nation is —as a nation— a Temple, and has the different parts of the Temple that is in Heaven, has it reflected.
That is why for the end time, what will be in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the heavenly Temple reflected in His Church…; because the Church, you see, is that Tabernacle of God, the Bride of the Lamb; and therefore, all that is in the Temple of Heaven has been materializing here in human beings, in the members of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why the ages, the seven ages of the gentile Church, pertain to the Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven, and holy place of the tabernacle built by Moses and of the temple built by Solomon.
That is why the apostle Saint Paul, talking to us about Moses’ temple, says as follows: Chapter 9, verse 19 and on (or a little before): “For…” Chapter 9, verse 16 and on, says [Hebrews]:
“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people (Saint Paul says he sprinkled the book and also the people),
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these…”
That is, all the things that Moses was sprinkling with the blood of the calf and the goat, all he was sprinkling was type and figure of the heavenly things, of the things of the Temple that is in Heaven.
“…but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.”
That the heavenly things of the Temple which is in Heaven would be sprinkled with Blood as well? That is what Saint Paul tells us:
“…but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true…”
The “sanctuary made by hands” was the most holy place of Moses’ tabernacle and the most holy place of the temple that Solomon built.
Now, Christ didn’t enter either the most holy place of the tabernacle that Moses built, nor the most holy place of the temple that Solomon built, nor the most holy place of the temple that was in the days when Christ died, which was built by king Herod. Christ didn’t enter there with His Blood, to offer it in the most holy place, as the high priest did every year, but Christ with His Blood ascended to Heaven; and He went to the Temple that is in Heaven, entered the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple, and there He entered with His own Blood, and offered it there; and there His Blood has been making intercession for every son and daughter of God.
Every son and daughter of God belongs to the Temple that is in Heaven; and that is why the sons and daughters of God were represented in the temple built by Moses and the temple built by king Solomon, and those temples that were the reconstruction at different times of the temple built by king Solomon.
Now, we can see where we have come from. Just as Christ said that He had come from Heaven, that He had descended from Heaven, and was returning to Heaven, that He had come from God and was returning to God7</sup>; Christ has also taught us that we were with Him since before the foundation of the world, and that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.
Saint Paul, in Hebrews, chapter 1 and verses 1 and on, says:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Now watch how Christ ascended to Heaven and sat at the right hand of God, sat on the Throne of God, and placed the Blood of His Sacrifice for sin there; and thus, you see, He as High Priest has been spreading His Blood from age to age, making intercession in Heaven for every son and daughter of God who would live here on Earth in each of these ages.
That is why Christ has been in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place, making intercession with His own Blood for each person whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And it is from Heaven that God sends each of His children to live on this Earth, and that is why we were born on this Earth through dad and mom; our soul was sent from Heaven, from God, we have come from God, and we have been manifested in these mortal bodies and we have obtained a spirit of the world to make contact with Christ and receive Christ as our Savior; and thus Christ makes intercession for us there in Heaven and thus makes the reconciliation of us with God, and thus God is with us and we with Him reconciled. This is why Saint Paul preached8: “Be reconciled to God today.”
Now, you see how Christ is reconciling each of God’s sons and daughters, that were where? There in Heaven, in the Temple which is in Heaven; but we have come here on Earth in these mortal bodies: our soul has come from there, from Heaven, and we are here on Earth manifested in human flesh. And when we have received Christ as our Savior and we have washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and received His Holy Spirit: we have been born again and we have obtained a body from another dimension, a theophanic body, a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, a theophanic spirit of the Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven; but our soul belongs to the Most Holy Place.
And our physical body, notice, it will be changed when the dead in Christ are resurrected and we who are alive are changed, and then we will have an eternal body; and that eternal body belongs to the Outer Court of the Temple of God.
Therefore, we will have part in the Outer Court, in the Holy Place and in the Most Holy Place; because we will have the body, which belongs to the Outer Court of the Temple of God, we have a theophanic spirit, which belongs to the Holy Place of the Temple of God, and we have a soul, which belongs to the Most Holy Place.
Our soul is represented in the Most Holy Place, or the Most Holy Place is represented in our soul; in other words, in both ways. That is why, being the Most Holy Place the Seat or Throne of God, in the human being the throne of God, in the human being it’s what? The soul of the person, the soul of every son and daughter of God.
But God has to be manifested not only in the soul of a person, but He manifests Himself from the soul toward the spirit and also toward the body; as from the temple God manifested Himself in the most holy place, and from there the manifestation of God passed to the holy place and to the outer court as well.
That is why the seven vessels or lamps on the candlestick, in the holy place, were reflecting the light that was inside the most holy place; but in the most holy place, we find that God’s presence was manifested there.
Now see how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has also been built in the form of the Temple which is in Heaven. And the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church pertain to the Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven, and the holy place of the temple that Moses built and the temple that king Solomon built.
Then, the Most Holy Place, which pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone, is the most important place of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because it is the place where Christ is manifested in the Last Day; just as He was manifested in each age, pertaining to the Holy Place, now He is manifested in the Most Holy Place in the same way He was manifested there: through human flesh.
Just as He was manifested in each angel messenger, for the Last Day He will be manifested in His Angel Messenger, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and being that the Age of the Cornerstone corresponds to the Most Holy Place, just as God has been materializing the things of the Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven in His Church during these past stages, He will be materializing the things that are in the Most Holy Place: He will be materializing them in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age that represents the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven.
And you see, that is why Christ, just as He has been calling and gathering His elect in every age through the ministry that He has manifested in every angel messenger (through which He has shined the Light of Christ, for Christ is the Light of the world9), and has shone in every age through His manifestation in every angel messenger, Christ is manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone; and that is where Christ will be manifested first in the first fruits of the Spirit and then in the fullness.
Because first He is manifested in the midst of His people, in that stage that pertains to the spiritual part that has to do with our theophanic body; but when the dead in Christ resurrect and we who are alive are transformed, we will already have an eternal body, and there will also be a manifestation in the physical part on behalf of Christ, where it will no longer be only the spiritual part but the physical part as well.
In other words, it will not be an age that will only cover the spiritual part, but that age will also cover the physical part, not only of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ but of the entire human race.
And that is why the manifestation of Jesus Christ in this end time will bring a change on this planet Earth. In other words, it will bring the introduction to the glorious Millennial Kingdom; and therefore the kingdoms of this world are going to become the kingdoms of our God, of our Lord Jesus Christ; and we will reign with Christ for a thousand years and then for all eternity.
Now, this is for this end time, where this prophetic and dispensational change will be taking place; because it is a change in Heaven, a change from the Holy Place to the Most Holy Place, where Christ will be calling and gathering the elect that belong to that Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple; who in this Last Day will be living on this planet Earth in mortal bodies, which are called and gathered together in this Last Day with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, which is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom preaching, making known the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ; and with that mystery being made known, all the elect of God are called and gathered together.
And when the number of God’s elect from the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ is completed, Christ will already leave the Throne of Intercession in Heaven; and, from there on, the Throne of Intercession or Seat of Mercy in Heaven will become a Throne, a Seat of Judgment; because when there is Blood in Heaven, on the Throne of Intercession, there is mercy; but if the Blood is not found on that Throne or Seat of Mercy, then it becomes a Seat, a divine judgment Seat.
That is why in Revelation, chapter 11 and verses 15 and on, it says the following way…
This is the Throne of Intercession in Heaven or Seat of Mercy or Throne of God in Heaven, where Christ sat at the right hand of God, making intercession for us.
That Throne, for this stage that Revelation shows us, chapter 11, verse 15 and on, is already a Throne of Judgment, because there is no longer Blood, the Blood of the Lamb, the Blood of Jesus Christ, is no longer there placed in that place; and He is no longer there as a High Priest making intercession with His own Blood, because He has already made intercession for the whole heavenly Israel, He has already made intercession for all the priests according to the Order of Melchizedek, and they are ready now; and for that time, all of them are already transformed and are already reconciled to God, not only spiritually but physically as well, with an eternal body.
It says:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
Now notice how the Throne of God in Heaven is found without the Blood of Christ, because the Intercession in Heaven has already concluded; and now it has become, the Throne of God in Heaven, that Seat of Mercy, has become a Throne of Judgment, for God to bring the human race to judgment, to bring all nations to judgment.
And just as every person as an individual must give an account to God when God judges him, so must every nation as a nation give an account to God. And the judgment for the nations, you see, comes the judgment for the existing nations of the kingdom of the gentiles, which in this end time would be found in the feet of iron and clay; that divine judgment comes before the Millennial Kingdom. That is why many nations will be condemned and will cease to exist.
We pray to God for Latin America and the Caribbean, so that the Latin American and Caribbean nations may obtain mercy before Jesus Christ.
And Christ will be manifested in His Church, and from His Church will come the blessing and mercy of Christ for many nations; and these nations, in their majority will be Latin American and Caribbean. Why is this? Because the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, which pertain to the Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven, and of the tabernacle that Moses built and that Solomon built, were already fulfilled in gentile territories: Asia Minor, Europe and North America; in other words, those ages have people from those territories.
And now, the Age of the Most Holy Place, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, is fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean, and has Latin American and Caribbean people to fill the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
And since the Work that Christ is doing in Latin America and the Caribbean, where He is extending His love and mercy, and the seven colors of the rainbow… Just as He extended one color of the rainbow in each age of the past, He now extends the seven colors of the rainbow in a full circle over Latin America and the Caribbean, and over His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Head. And it is upon the head of Christ, in Revelation, chapter 10, that the rainbow was, around His head, as also around the Throne in Heaven was the rainbow10.
Now, in the Age of the Cornerstone, around the Age of the Cornerstone is the rainbow; and being around, it will be endless; therefore, the manifestation of Christ in mercy for the Age of the Cornerstone will continue for the Millennium and for all eternity.
And the Latin American and Caribbean territory, which in its majority doesn’t understand the great blessing that has been given to it in the Divine Program, is the privileged territory for this manifestation of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, to fill the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ with Latin American and Caribbean people in this end time; and then the blessing will be given to the Hebrew people.
And it is from Latin America and the Caribbean that the Gospel will return to the Jews, to the Hebrew people; it is from Latin America and the Caribbean that the Gospel of the Kingdom will go to the Hebrew people; and it will call and gather 144,000 Hebrews that are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and they will receive the Second Coming of Christ, and then they will understand what the First Coming of Christ was.
The Hebrew people are currently waiting for the Coming of the Messiah; and all of them are waiting for the arrival, the coming, of a man in whom the Angel of the Covenant will be manifested, the Angel of the Lord; that is what they are waiting for, and they have been crying out for years for the fulfillment of that promise that God has made to the Hebrew people.
There is the Hebrew people, the earthly Israel, and there is the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now you see how, just as from the Hebrew people, from the earthly Israel, came the Message of the Gospel of Grace, which revolves around the First Coming of Christ, it came to the heavenly Israel; now from the heavenly Israel, the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, will go to the Hebrew people, to the earthly Israel.
We have seen this mystery, and we have seen that this is for THE END OF TIME</strong>; and for the end of time we will have clear signs that we will be living in the end of time.
In the parable of the wheat and the tares Christ said that He would send His Angels (what for?) to carry out the harvest11. A clear sign of the end time is the ministry of the Angels of the Son of Man carrying out the gathering of God’s elect in this end time.
Christ also, in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, said: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.”
God’s elect of the heavenly Israel are members of the Mystical Body of Christ, who for the Final Day or end time, or end of time, will be called and gathered in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Mystical Body of the Lord of Jesus Christ, as God’s elect were called and gathered in the seven past stages or ages of the Church of the Lord.
And the elect of the earthly Israel are 144,000 Hebrews, who in this end time are going to be called and gathered by the same ministry of the Angels of the Son of Man.
These ministries are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees and the Two Golden Candlesticks of Revelation, chapter 11, and Zechariah, chapter 4. And with the coming of those ministries to Earth, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ first, God’s elect from the Mystical Body of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone are called and gathered; they are called and gathered: they are called in the territory that pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone in this end time, which is the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
That is why in this end time, the work of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, having the ministry relevant to the end time in her midst: she has the work of working and seeking, with that ministry and with the Message that ministry brings, to call and seek all the elect of God in all Latin America and the Caribbean.
And when that work is finished, all the elect pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone will be in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ, and thus the construction of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have been completed; and thus the Temple in Heaven will have been materialized on Earth, in human beings; and so God will have a Temple composed of human beings that have lived on this planet Earth in mortal bodies, but later they will have the eternal body; because God will glorify the House of His glory, as He has promised through the prophet Isaiah in chapter 60 and verse 7. It says:
“…and I will glorify the house of my glory.”
Now see where the glory of God will be manifested in all His fullness in this end time, where the Logos, the Shekinah, the Pillar of Fire, will be manifested in all His fullness in this end time: it will be in the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is His Church.
When His Church is completed, it will be dedicated to God, for God’s dwelling in all His fullness; and God will dwell in all His fullness in His Church: the dead in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies and we who live will be transformed; and thus the House of the Lord’s glory will be glorified, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the heavenly Israel, in which the Temple in Heaven is materialized.
Therefore, for the glorious Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity, the representation of the Temple that is in Heaven will be the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ here on Earth.
And since the Hebrew people is the earthly Israel, what will be manifested in the heavenly Israel will be manifested in the earthly Israel as well. Why? Because in the earthly Israel will be the heavenly Israel, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why we have the promise to live in the earthly Israel: because we are the heavenly Israel.
Now, see how for this end time all these things would be completely open to the elect of God, in order to understand the time that we are living in, and not to walk out of time, not to be walking out of step; because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ from age to age has had to walk in the age that pertains to her, which is the step that pertains to her in every age.
And Christ has been in each age at the time that each of those ages has been in force; and now Christ is in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age in force for this end time.
That is where Christ manifests Himself, that is where Christ walks; and that is where, in that age, we walk in the business of our heavenly Father, working in them and thus carrying out the Work that Christ has entrusted to His Church in this and for this end time.
We are instruments of Jesus Christ, of the Holy Spirit, carrying the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, for the blessing of Latin American and Caribbean people, for the gathering of God’s elect, and so that Latin America and the Caribbean can enter the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Since we are priests, we pray for Latin America and the Caribbean, we ask God for Latin America and the Caribbean.
So see the great blessing that has been given to us at the end of time.
We are living in the end time, where from one moment to another the number of the elect of God in the Mystical Body of Christ is completed, and Christ comes out of the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, from the Seat of Mercy; and later it will become a Throne of Judgment; but we will be transformed and the dead in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies.
And then, no matter what divine judgments come upon planet Earth, they will not harm us, because we will already be transformed; we will be in a new eternal and glorious body to live with Christ for all eternity.
We have reached the final phase of God’s Program to be prepared; for all the elect of God to be gathered together, with the Great Voice of Trumpet, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, and to be prepared to be changed and raptured we who are alive, and the dead in Christ to be resurrected in eternal bodies.
If we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already in the seventh millennium. If we don’t add to the calendar the years it is behind, then we are only about 2 or 3 years away from entering the glorious seventh millennium, where the dead in Christ will resurrect first; for Christ said, speaking about the believers in Him, He said that He would resurrect them and He said when that resurrection would be. He said in John, chapter 6, verse 39 to 40:
“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.”
When does Christ have the commission to resurrect the believers in Him? He says it is for the Last Day.
“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.”
When does He say that He will resurrect those who have believed in Him? He says it will be at the Last Day, to those who have believed in Him and their bodies have died; and for us who are living, after the dead in Christ are resurrected, we will be transformed. Therefore, our transformation is also for the Last Day, and the rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ is also for the Last Day.
And the Last Day is the seventh millennium, because “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day12”; and the last days are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium. So the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, belongs to the last days: it is the last of the last days.
Now we can see where we are in the Divine Program: we are in the end of time, we are in the most glorious time of all times; we are in the time when we would be hearing the Voice of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, making known to us all these things that must happen in this end time.
He promised to make all these things known to us and He is doing it. And where are the people who would be hearing all these things being revealed, all these things that were to happen being revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone? Here we are, in Latin America and the Caribbean, present, listening to the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet in the Lord’s Day, in the seventh millennium, making known to us all these things that must happen in the end of time.
“THE END OF TIME.”
We have seen the things that would be happening at the end of time, where the time for the world and its kingdoms, that is, the gentile governments, the kingdom of the gentiles in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, will be coming to an end; because the Stone not cut by hands is the one that put an end to the kingdom of the gentiles in His Coming13.
So we will be seeing this change of kingdom as well. We will be seeing this change of kingdom when we are already transformed. Because the kingdoms of this world will become of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and He will establish His Kingdom, and there will be a thousand years of peace on this planet Earth.
But the great tribulation comes first, where the divine judgment is going to be poured out upon the Earth; but we are not afraid of the great tribulation, because by that time we will be transformed and we will be in the House of our heavenly Father, at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
All these blessings have been promised by Christ to whom? For all of us who live in this end time, and for those who have departed in past ages.
“THE END OF TIME.”
In the afternoon, in the next activity, at 3:00 pm, we will begin the next activity; and already at 3:30, if I am ready, I will be with you again to continue seeing the great blessings that Jesus Christ has for the end of time for each one of us who live in this end time.
It has been a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you of THE END OF TIME and of all these things that we have seen through the Scriptures on this occasion, pointed out in the Scriptures for the end of time.
So we will be gathered again at 3:00 in the afternoon; we will have a break, and then we will come back to continue seeing all the blessings that He has for us for this end time, for THE END OF TIME.
God bless you, God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention.
“THE END OF TIME.”
