Good morning or good afternoon, beloved brethren and friends present here in Melipilla, Chile. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion. I appreciate your patience.
On this occasion we have a topic in which, the one who chose it here not only wanted you to know about this topic, but also he kind of wants to know a little more of this topic, the one who chose it; and let us see what God allows us to know, because I would also like to know about this topic, and let us see what God allows us to see under this subject: THE EXPLOSION or “THE EXPLOSIONS OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
Let us read in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on, where it says:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
And in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, says:
“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.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our topic, as I already told you, is: “THE EXPLOSIONS OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
In order to comprehend this topic: “THE EXPLOSIONS OF THE SEVENTH SEAL,” we will read what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said speaking about the Seventh Seal. The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ, and let us see what he says about the Seventh Seal: Page 464 and 465 tells us [The Seals]1:
“We must remember that this Seventh Seal is the end of time, of all things. That’s right. The things written in the Seven-Seal Book, sealed up, of the plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world, it every bit ends. It is the end; it is the end of the struggling world. It’s the end of struggling nature. It’s the end of everything. In there, it’s the end of the Trumpets. It’s the end of the Vials. It’s the end of the earth. It’s the…It’s even the end of time. Time runs out. The Bible said so. Matthew, the 7th chapter… I mean, Revelation, the 7th cha-… 10th chapter and the… and 1 to the 7th verse. Time runs out. The Angel said, ‘Time will be no more,’ when that, in the days of this great thing to happen.
Everything runs out, in this time, the end of the… at the end of this Seventh Seal. Notice. It’s the end of the church age. It’s the end of the Seventh Seal. It’s the end of the Trumpets. It’s the end of the Vials, and even end the ushering in of the Millennium. That’s on the Seventh Seal.
It’s just like firing a rocket into the air. And that rocket explodes here, and it goes up and then explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explode and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes and blows out five stars from it. See, it fades on out. That’s, what, the Seventh Seal. It just ends the time for the world. It ends the time for this. It ends the time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time. Everything just ended up on that Seventh Seal. Now, how is He going to do it? That’s what we don’t know. Isn’t it? We don’t know. It’s even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the Millennium.”
(I apologize, my throat is a little affected these days, but we keep going forward with the Word). It says:
“It’s even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the Millennium. Notice, the breaking of this Seal was so great, that, Heaven was hushed by It, ‘in silence, for the space of a half hour.’ Now, is It great! What is It? It was hushed, Heavens. There wasn’t a thing moved, for a half hour. Now, a half hour might not be long if you’re having a good time. But, in the suspense of between death and Life, it seemed like a Millennium. It was so great! Jesus never mentioned It. None of the rest of them.”
And he continues showing there everything about the Seventh Seal.
Now, notice how the Seventh Seal has to do with the end of the vials, the end of the trumpets, the end of the Church, that is, the end of the age of the Church, in other words, the Dispensation of Grace, and it also has to do with the end of the world.
Did Jesus not say that the Son of Man would send His Angels with Great Voice of Trumpet for the end of the world?
Now, the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord.
And how does Christ say that the Son of Man will come in the end time?
Matthew, chapter 16, verses 27 to 28 tells us how the Son of Man will come. Jesus Himself speaking to us, prophesying:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”
How does the Son of Man come? He comes with His Angels in the glory of His Father. How does the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal come? He comes with His Angels in the glory of His Father.
The fulfillment of the Seventh Seal cannot be real if the Son of Man is not present with His Angels. And what does this mean? This means that the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel who has the Seventh Seal, of which the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says in the book of The Seals in Spanish, page 469, says2:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top.”
He is speaking about this photo or this event that was captured in a photo, where the seven angel messengers of the seven ages are, and an angel that is very different from the rest, which is this one that is up here. Now, he says:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’ You remember that? [‘Amen.’]
Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal…”
Which of those angels is the one who has the Seventh Seal? The Angel that was very different from the rest, the one who is here: forming the white hair of the Lord. The rest formed the beard of the Lord.
“Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant, for one time in life!”
The Seventh Seal, notice, being the Coming of the Lord, and this Angel that was different from the rest, being the one who has the Seventh Seal, in order for the Seventh Seal to be fulfilled on Earth well He must come like the angels came to Earth to fulfill their ministry, each one of them in their age.
And now, this Angel that is very different from the rest must come; He can no longer come to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh age, because those ages are finished; and the time has already passed for the ministries that were manifested in these ages, and the veil of flesh where they were manifested has left, those veils of flesh are gone.
Therefore, Saint Paul’s ministry is in the past, Irenaeus’, Martin’s, Columba’s, Luther’s, Wesley’s and the one of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; all of that is already history. We have obtained the benefits of those ministries, both those who lived in the time of those ministries as well as we have also received the benefit of those ministries because we have the Word that was spoken through them, which is still of blessing for us.
And the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ are in the messages of Saint Paul and the seventh angel messenger William Branham, the prophecies that must be fulfilled at this end time. Therefore, the ministries they had and the things they spoke are of blessing, and the prophecies they gave for this end time.
And now, for the Seventh Seal to be fulfilled on Earth well the Angel who has the Seventh Seal must come. And this Angel that is different from the rest cannot come to any of these ages but rather He must come to the Age of the Cornerstone. And the Coming of that Angel fulfills the Seventh Seal here on Earth.
And now, let us see this mystery of the Seventh Seal with more clarity, which is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord, which is shown in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on. And what is prophesied here is required for its fulfillment: Page 57 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says3:
“‘…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…’
If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.
‘…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire…’
You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”
Now notice how this Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, which is Christ in His Coming, comes as a messenger to Israel; He comes, He says: “He comes directly to the Jews because the Church has come to its end.”
He comes directly to the Jews, He comes as the messenger to Israel. He comes as the messenger to Israel, and therefore He comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message that the Hebrew people will receive at this end time. He comes with the Messianic Message promised for this end time.
Let us see page 123 of the book of The Seals, where it says… let us see4:
“Messiah will come, and He’ll be cut off, for a sacrifice, in the midst of the week, and the obligation will cease.”5
That was already fulfilled in the First Coming of Christ: half way through the seventieth week the life of the Messiah was taken on Calvary’s Cross; and the sacrifice and then the offerings ceased, because sacrifices and offerings for sins are no longer needed, because what was reflected in those sacrifices was already fulfilled with the Sacrifice of Christ.
“Then, there is still three and one-half years waited, for the Messiahic Doctrine to the Jew. And God does not deal with the Jew and the Gentile at the same time. He deals with Israel as a nation, Gentile as an individual. He never taken the Gentiles for His Bride; He taken a people out of the Gentiles. See? Now He deals with Israel as a nation. And now there she sits, right there now, as a nation.”
Now, what is she doing? Well waiting for the Coming of the Lord, the Coming and fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, for the three and a half years left for the Hebrew people to be fulfilled, and the Messianic teaching to run throughout the entire Hebrew nation. The Messianic teaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, and also revealing the history of what the First Coming of Christ was, and showing the Sacrifice for the sin, which Christ carried out on Calvary’s Cross.
They will mourn, cry and receive forgiveness as a nation; and 144,000 Hebrews will enter; and that is all of Israel for God. It is the Israel chosen by God, and those are the elect of God of the Hebrew people. But they do not belong to the Mystical Body of Christ but rather they are the ones who will serve as eunuchs in the Kingdom of Christ, they will serve Christ and His Church.
Now, notice how the Messianic Message will be preached for the Hebrew people, which is promised to be preached at the end time by the Great Voice of Trumpet.
On page 310 of the book of The Seals says6:
“And they said, ‘Well, why? Can we go back to the kingdom right now?’ The Jewish kingdom is to be set on the earth, you know. John said the kingdom was there, see, to be set. Now, this is the Kingdom of the Gospel, you see. But the kingdom of Jews will be preached by these two prophets.”
Now notice, the Kingdom of the Gospel has been preached during the Dispensation of Grace, but with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom the Kingdom of the Jews will be preached.
“But the kingdom of Jews will be preached by these two prophets, so notice the kingdom of the earth here. ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is preached,’… by the Jews, or to… I mean, ‘to the Gentile.’ The kingdom of here on the earth, is to be set up in the Millennium, after, the Millennium to the Jews.”
And who will preach that Kingdom? That Kingdom will be preached by the Two Olive Trees.
And now, notice how the Two Olive Trees… and, let us see… being that the Son of Man comes with His Angels, He comes with the Two Olive Trees; in other words, the Seventh Seal comes with His Angels, with Moses and Elijah.
Every person who sees the Coming of the Kingdom of God and sees the Seventh Seal will be seeing the Coming of the Angel that was very different from the rest, coming to Earth with the ministries of Jesus, Elijah and Moses.
If those three ministries are not there, then that is not the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, because then He left one of the Angels behind and that can no longer be the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
It must be with the ministries of Jesus for a second time, Elijah for a fifth time and Moses for a second time; they must be present there in the Coming of the Son of Man in His Kingdom.
And that is the Seventh Seal: The Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. That is the Seventh Seal: The Coming of the Angel that was very different from the rest with His Angels; in other words, the Coming of the Angel that was very different from the rest manifesting the ministries of Jesus for a second time, Elijah for a fifth time and Moses for a second time.
And now let us see how it is that He comes… I have shown you that He comes as the messenger to Israel, but He comes for His Church, because His Church is still here on Earth; and if he does not reveal Himself in the midst of His Church, does not manifested Himself in the midst of His Church before going to the Hebrew people and revealing Himself, and the Hebrew people receives Him, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ would stay here for the great tribulation; but she has the promise that she will be transformed and raptured, because she has believed in Jesus Christ as her Savior and has washed her sins in the Blood of Christ and has received the Holy Spirit; therefore, she is without stains, without sin, and the great tribulation is to purify everything that is in sin; and since she is without sin well she will be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Now, I showed you how he comes: he comes as the messenger to Israel; and the messenger to Israel is the messenger who comes with the ministries of the Two Olive Trees. That is the Angel that appears in Revelation, chapter 7, where it says:
“And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand (and it continues enumerating twelve thousand sealed from each tribe).”
And then in Revelation, chapter 14, verse 1, they appear already sealed. It says:
“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”
How did they obtain that seal in their foreheads? Through the ministry of this Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God.
This Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God ⏤What is the Seal of the living God? It is the Holy Spirit⏤, the Holy Spirit comes manifested in that Angel. That is the messenger who comes with the Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh at the Last Day, to call and gather together all the elect of God. He will call and gather together 144,000 Hebrews, but first he calls and gathers together the elect of the Church in the Age of the Cornerstone.
In Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, it says: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.” Notice there how the ministries of His Angels, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, with the Great Voice of Trumpet, in other words, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, with that Messianic Message, he will be calling and gathering together the elect of God.
There is no other thing to call and gather together the elect of God other than the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for this end time; just as there was no other thing to gather together the elect of God of the seven ages of the gentile Church other than the Message of the Gospel of the Grace being preached by the angel messengers sent by Christ in each age of the gentile Church.
And now for the gathering of the last elect of the end time, the Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet is required, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, that Messianic Message that revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
With that Message is that all the elect of God are called and gathered together. There is no other Message that will work for the call of the elect of God from among the gentiles and for the call of the elect of God of the Hebrew people.
That is why you can see that many preachers have gone among the Jews preaching the Gospel of the Grace but have not been able to convert the Hebrew people to Christ; because with the Message they will be converted to God will be the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, it revolves around the Seventh Seal; in other words, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
With that Message revealing the mystery of His Coming, the chosen Hebrews will awake and will say: “This is what we have been waiting for for thousands of years!”
Are they awaiting another thing? No! What they are waiting for is the Coming of the Messiah. And the Coming of the Messiah is the Coming and fulfillment of the Seventh Seal.
And now notice how that Seventh Seal comes manifested: In Revelation, chapter 19, He comes upon a white horse. That white horse Rider is Christ, Christ is the one who comes.
Now, the First Coming of Christ, what was it? The First Coming of Christ was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Coming of the Word incarnated in a simple man of Nazareth, called Jesus. That was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who was promised to come.
In Malachi, let us see, it says that the Angel of the Covenant would come, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It says, chapter 3 of Malachi, verse 1 and on, says:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me (who was that? John the Baptist): and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Who would come after John the Baptist? The Lord. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the one who appeared to Moses in that burning bush and said to him: “I am the God of your father (in other words, the God of Amram, the father of Moses), the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and of Jacob.” And now, He had descended to deliver the Hebrew people from bondage.
For the end time He descends to deliver all of His children, and thus all of us who are alive obtain our liberation by obtaining an eternal body, and the dead in Christ obtaining an eternal body in which they will resurrect. And that will be the glorious liberation of the children of God, typified in the delivery or liberation that God carried out with the Hebrew people there in Egypt.
And now, notice who is the one that comes: The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
“…shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Now notice the promise of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord.
Isaiah also speaks to us about the Coming of this Angel of the Covenant, which is God Himself with His theophanic body, that body that is similar to our body but from another dimension. Also called the Word.
Now, in Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 3 and on, says:
“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”
Who was this one crying out in the wilderness? John the Baptist. He himself testified that it was someone’s voice crying out in the wilderness. Matthew, chapter 3, verse 3, testifies of this; and also Matthew, chapter 11, verse (let us say) from 9 and on, to 14, Jesus also testifies of John the Baptist as the Elijah who had to come, as the forerunner preparing the way for Him. It continues saying:
“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!”
John the Baptist was presenting to them the God of Israel in human flesh. He said: “After me comes one of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of His shoes. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire.”
He also said: “And I knew Him not, but He that sent me to baptize with water, told me: Upon whom you see the Holy Spirit descend on in the form of a dove, that is Him.” And John says: “And I saw Him, and I have testified that that is Him (pointing to Jesus).”
Now notice the prophecy here. The God of Israel would be shown:
“Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”
Now notice how it is promised here, prophesied, the First and Second Coming of Christ, wherein God would be seen… it says here: “Behold your God!” God would be seen, but, notice, verse 5 says: “And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”
And when this prophecy was fulfilled two thousand years ago, notice what the fulfillment of this prophecy was: John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on, says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
The Word was in the beginning with God, and it was God Himself; because the Word is the theophanic body of God; it is the Word, wherein God manifested Himself and from where God spoke and created all things.
That is why it says: “All things were created by Him,” and in Genesis it says: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Then in verse 9 says, 9 to 10 of John, chapter 1, says:
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own (in other words, the Hebrew people), and his own received him not.”
Now, how did He come to the Hebrew people? Let us see how He came:
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
How did the Word come in the midst of the Hebrew people? He came in human flesh, the Word (which is God Himself in His theophanic body also called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament) dressed Himself of a body of flesh, of a veil of flesh and was in the midst of the Hebrew people manifested speaking to the Hebrew people.
And the Word of God was in that veil of flesh being manifested; God was heard through that veil of flesh speaking to the Hebrew people. That is what Saint Paul tells us in his epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 1 and verse 1 to 2 when he says… let us read verses 1 to 3 so we have a clear picture here, of this manifestation of God in flesh. It 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 did He speak to us through (says Paul)? He says:
“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.”
Here we can see how the Almighty God came with His theophanic body, He created a cell of life in Mary’s womb, which multiplied cell upon cell and formed or the body of Jesus was formed, and God dwelt in that body with His theophanic body. And God carried out the Work of Redemption from that body, that body being offered in atonement for our sins. And after He resurrected and ascended to Heaven, He placed His own Blood there on the Mercy Seat or seat of intercession or seat of mercy, and He has been interceding in the Temple that is in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place, as the high priest did once every year, that is, one day out of the year: on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, the high priest entered into the most holy place with the blood of the atonement of the goat, and there he made the work that corresponded to him as high priest in intercession for the Hebrew people.
That is the same thing Christ is doing in Heaven since He ascended to Heaven. And all of that was reflected in what the high priest did on the day of atonement, one day out of the year: the tenth day of the seventh month each year, that was carried out by the high priest; and that was prophesying, it was a prophecy that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, would carry out that work in the Temple that is in Heaven. And that is why He had to obtain the Blood of Atonement to take it to the Temple that is in Heaven; and that is why He came here and the Sacrifice was carried out here, and He took the Blood of the Sacrifice and took it to Heaven.
The Sacrifice was carried out where? In the atrium; and this planet Earth is the Atrium. But Christ had to ascend to Heaven, reach the presence of God, the Most Holy Place, to take His own Blood there, Christ entering as the High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek, because He is the Priest Melchizedek of the Temple that is in Heaven.
And Aaron could not enter there nor any of the descendants of Aaron, but the King Melchizedek had to enter, who is also the High Priest Melchizedek. He is King and Priest. That is why the descendants of Melchizedek are kings and priests.
Doesn’t the Scripture say so, that He has redeemed us with His Blood? It says in Revelation, chapter 1, verses 5 to 6, 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 in chapter 5 of Revelation says, verses 9 and on, 9 to 10, says:
“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, are we kings and priests according to the order of Levi, of the descendants of Aaron? No. But rather of the heavenly order, the Order of Melchizedek. And we are also kings of that Order.
And now, the descendants of that Order are the ones who will be as priests ministering the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and they will also be the ones who will be as kings with Christ, with the Messiah, on this planet Earth. It is a heavenly Order, a Divine Order, the Order of the descendants of God who come through Melchizedek, the King and Priest Melchizedek, who is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, He was here on Earth two thousand years ago manifested in human flesh. The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, notice, is that King Melchizedek and is that Priest Melchizedek. That is why you find Him manifested in different places of the Old Testament. And God says in chapter 23 of the book of Exodus, verses 20 and on, says:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
And when that Angel of the Lord is manifested on Earth there is the Name of God.
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”
When He was manifested in human flesh two thousand years ago, notice, He was in the midst of the Hebrew people, which was the people that was waiting for Him.
And now, for the end time, it is the gentile Church who is waiting for the Second Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who came two thousand years ago manifested in human flesh in that veil of flesh called Jesus.
And what will be the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant manifested in human flesh in the Last Day? What will be the Coming of that Angel who had the Seventh Seal? What will be the Coming of that white horse Rider of Revelation 19? Well it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, it is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit.
Now, on page 277 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, our brother Branham praying says7:
“…may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
And on page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, says, speaking about this white horse Rider of Revelation 19:
“But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
That is how we will see the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, the Coming of the Holy Spirit in this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom. That is the way in which Jesus Christ comes manifested in Holy Spirit: incarnating Himself in a man of the end time.
On page 134 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us8:
“Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us…”
The Holy Spirit has been manifested from age to age, where? In each angel messenger, in the midst of His Church. And now “this Holy Spirit that we have” is what? Jesus Christ manifested in Holy Spirit, who was manifested in each angel messenger in the corresponding portion to each age. Now:
“And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Now notice how the promise of the Coming of the Holy Spirit in human flesh as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 will be the Coming of the Holy Spirit incarnated in a man, it will be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. That is the Coming of the Word incarnated in a man, it is the Coming of the Word, the Word, the Holy Spirit incarnated in a man and manifested through that man in this end time; and His Angels also come there.
On page 399 in Spanish, of the book of The Seals, when they ask him about the Elijah who will preach to the Hebrew people, page 399 in Spanish, of the book of The Seals, question number 11, they ask him9:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?
(The answer was): I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see, 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.”
Notice, where did they meet him, Elijah, the ministry of Elijah manifested for a second time in another man, in Elisha? When he opened the Jordan. The same thing that Elijah did to cross over to the other side. And now, in order to cross over here, Elisha opened the Jordan again. The sons of the prophets said: “It is the spirit of Elijah that has rested upon Elisha!” And they were right. It was the second occasion in which the ministry of Elijah rested upon another man. The Spirit of God in Elisha manifesting that ministry for a second time.
The third occasion in which the ministerial spirit of Elijah rested upon another man was in John the Baptist. Christ Himself said: “He is that Elijah who was to come. If you want to receive him, he is that Elijah (John the Baptist).” Matthew, chapter 11, verse 14; and Matthew, chapter 17, verse 10 to 14 (let us say); and also Luke, chapter 1, the Angel Gabriel is the one who says this here, He says speaking of John the Baptist (verse 16 to 17):
“And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before him (in other words, before the Messiah) 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.”
The Archangel Gabriel spoke about John the Baptist as the Elijah who was to come in that time to prepare the people for the Coming of the Lord, in other words, as the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, and then Jesus also testified that John the Baptist was that Elijah. And that was the third time that the ministry of Elijah was manifested by the Holy Spirit in another man.
And the fourth occasion was in Reverend William Marrion Branham; in whom the Holy Spirit was, the Spirit of God, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in him operating the ministry of Elijah for a fourth occasion, and with that ministry forerunning the Second Coming of Christ.
Being the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, we will find that in his messages he always speaks about the Second Coming of Christ; his Message will always revolve about or around the Second Coming of Christ; in other words, preparing the people to receive Christ in His Second Coming. And he says how He will come: he says it will be the Word incarnated in a man.
And since the Son of Man comes with His Angels, when they ask him about Elijah coming for a fifth occasion as the messenger to the Hebrew people, he says it will be… let us see. He says: “I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit.”
It is the Holy Spirit operating the ministry of Elijah for a fifth occasion.
And now, with that manifestation of Jesus, Moses and Elijah, in the manifestation, opening or fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, the Rocket of the Seventh Seal, the Second Coming of Christ, he says that it makes certain explosions. He says:
“It’s just like firing a rocket into the air. And that rocket explodes here, and it goes up and then explodes again.”
There cannot be a higher place than this one: The Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ.
Notice how the explosion of that rocket is in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and on this planet Earth. He says:
“…and it goes up and then explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explode and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars (of those five new stars that came from it) explodes and blows out five stars from it. See, it fades on out. That’s, what, the Seventh Seal.”
When its work is done well then the explosions end.
Now notice, there are two explosions from the rocket, from where… five stars come out from the second explosion, and then one of those stars explodes and five more stars come out; and then one of those stars (of the five new stars) explodes and five more stars come out.
Here we can see two rocket explosions and then two star explosions; in other words, how many explosions are there in all? Four explosions: two of the rocket and two of the stars.
The rocket is the Seventh Seal, the Second Coming of Christ. And now, from that Rocket, of the Second Coming of Christ, two stars appear there exploding, because it comes with stars that will explode, He comes with His Angels, He comes with Moses and Elijah. The angels or the – and the prophets are represented in stars. And Christ also says that He is the bright and Morning Star.
Now notice how the rocket explodes and five stars emerge; and then one of the stars explodes (of those five stars) and five more stars emerge; and then another star of the new explosion emerges, and it explodes, and five more stars emerge; in other words, there are four explosions and three groups of stars; three groups of five stars in each group.
The rocket in the second explosion causes five stars, produces five stars; and then one of those stars explodes and produces five more stars; and then one star (of the five produced stars) explodes and produces five more stars. In other words, there are four explosions: two rocket explosions and two explosions of two stars; and there are three groups of stars: the first one produced by the rocket in its second explosion, and the two second groups of stars produced by the explosion of each one of those stars that exploded.
Now we can see the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, we can see the Coming of the Rocket with His Stars. And the planet Earth with all its inhabitants, with the entire life of the planet Earth, will revolve around the Seventh Seal. The end of all things and the entry into the Millennium are in the Seventh Seal; the introduction to the Millennium is also in the Seventh Seal.
Now we can see how the Seventh Seal has been shown from different angles throughout the entire Scripture and in the messages of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; and from the different angles the Seventh Seal has been shown, it will cause the corresponding impact upon the human race; it will bring the benefits for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ from the relevant angle to the blessings promised for the Church of Jesus Christ, and it will bring the fulfillment of everything relevant to this end time. That is how the Seventh Seal is.
Everything revolves around the Seventh Seal, everything revolves around the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, everything revolves around His Coming with His Angels; and those are the things that must happen soon, which Christ said He would reveal to us.
And He reveals all these things that must happen soon through His Angel Messenger, and He shows us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, and the results the Seventh Seal will produce in this end time. It all depends on the Seventh Seal, on the Second Coming of Christ, on the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Now, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only the instrument of Jesus Christ, the veil of flesh where Christ will be manifested in the Last Day; and where Jesus Christ will be manifesting in Holy Spirit the ministries of Moses for a second occasion, Elijah for a fifth occasion and Jesus for a second occasion.
And from there, the explosions of the Rocket and of those two stars that explode will be carried out; from there is where we will see the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit carrying out His Program relevant to this end time.
And when everything has finished or everything in the Program of the Seventh Seal has been carried out, it will be the end of the vials, the trumpets and the entry to the Millennium.
In other words, the Seventh Seal, notice, enters into the Millennium; and well the Seventh Seal will be ruling in the Millennium. In other words all things depend on the Seventh Seal, everything God has promised to carry out in this end time comes in the Seventh Seal. There is the Millennium, there is the Final Trumpet, there is the Great Voice of Trumpet, there is the gathering of the elect from among the gentiles and the Hebrew people, there is Moses, there are the Two Olive Trees, there is the ministry of Jesus, everything is in the Seventh Seal, all of that is contained in the Seventh Seal.
That is why the Seventh Seal, the Angel that descends from Heaven, the Mighty Angel, raises His hand to Heaven and says that time has ended; because there, in the Seventh Seal, is the end of the world, the end of the trumpets, the end of the vials, the end of time, and the entry to the Millennium; everything is there in the Seventh Seal.
That is why we can see that we all depend on the Seventh Seal. And without the revelation of the Seventh Seal, without the revelation of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, no person can be changed and raptured, they cannot even be called and gathered together in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone; because it is with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet (revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal) that all the elect of God are called and gathered together in this end time.
Nothing can be carried out in the Program of God without the Seventh Seal, nothing can be put into effect in the Mystical Body of Christ, there is nothing that can help us to be changed and raptured in this end time; because everything is in the Seventh Seal, everything is in the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; and the manifestation and work relevant to the Seventh Seal in action are in these explosions that it makes.
The rocket making those explosions and then the five stars exploding, is the action of the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Seal in action.
Notice, also when the Mighty Angel descended from Heaven and cried out as when a lion roars, seven thunders uttered their voices: that is, seven explosions were heard there. Now we can see that that was the Voice of Christ speaking and revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal.
That is the Rocket that will take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, at zero hour, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; because the seven ages have already ended, they have reached their end.
As well as the Age of the Cornerstone, being the eighth age it speaks to us about the beginning, it speaks to us about redemption, it speaks to us about being restored to eternity, because eight represents infinity.
Now, notice the such great blessing we have been allotted in this end time: we have been blessed to be living in the time of the explosions of the Seventh Seal.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion testifying to you about the explosions of the Seventh Seal mentioned by the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ be upon each one of you, and may these explosions of the Seventh Seal be of blessing for all of you and for me as well, and may it bring the blessings promised by God for each one of us; and may we soon be transformed and raptured in this Last Day. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
We have already seen that the Seventh Seal will be in action with these explosions; and one of the things it does is look for the elect of God, because the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; if He comes with His angels well He comes to look for His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet.
Well, that is for tonight, where we will be speaking with the necessary details so that this mystery of the Seventh Seal looking for the elect is understood, according to Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 31.
And on this occasion we have been seeing the mystery of the Seventh Seal as an exploding rocket, exploding twice, and five stars coming out in the second one, and one of those stars exploding and five more stars coming out, and then one of those stars exploding and five more stars coming from it.
Also remember that five is the number of grace, and also that, how many ministries did Christ place in His Church? Five ministries.
So with one of those ministries, notice, we find that each explosion has a ministry there that explodes and carries out the work where that star explodes and five ministries or five stars emerge, because all the miniseries will be manifested in the Coming of the Son of Man.
So let us leave it alone there because we might exceed the necessary time and for tonight we already have a little… we have the next topic for tonight: “THE SEVENTH SEAL LOOKING FOR THE ELECT”; and we expect that soon all the elect are called and gathered together, gathered in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and may we soon be changed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
There is very little time left, I will not tell you how much there is left, but I will tell you that that is for the seventh millennium, said Christ, for the Last Day; and if we add to the calendar the years of delay it has we are already in the seventh millennium; and if we do not add them, look, we are in 1998 with a few months, and we are very close to entering into the seventh millennium with the old calendar we have, which is wrong; but look, even with that calendar we are very close to the seventh millennium.
Now, in what time of the seventh millennium of the calendar of God will the resurrection of the dead in Christ and our transformation be? We do not know, but we do know one thing: That the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, being the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Seal would be manifested and this mystery would be made known and this mystery is being revealed. The rest of the things are more simple. The most difficult, the most difficult is the Coming of the Son of Man with His angels, the Coming or manifestation of the Seventh Seal; and the Seventh Seal is already being opened to us.
The Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, has been becoming a revelation given to us so clearly that we can already see, we can comprehend this mystery of the Seventh Seal, that mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, that mystery of the Word, the Word coming in human flesh in a man of the end time, pointed out in the Scripture as the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom Christ in Holy Spirit will be revealing to us all these things that must happen soon.
But that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ; he is only the instrument of Christ for the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in this end time. That is why John tried to worship him and he said: “See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God.”
We are in the most glorious time of all times. After we are transformed, from then on we will literally see our Lord Jesus Christ in His body; but before that we will be seeing the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, and we will be hearing Him speaking to us all these things that must happen soon in this end time.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me as well, and may we soon be transformed and raptured. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
