The Man Who Receives the Vesture, the Horse and the Crown of the King (and the Scepter)

Good evening, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior; it is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God.

I don’t know who is interested in being here on Earth for many years, but to me, the sooner God calls us, the better it is for me.

I don’t know how many of you wish for many years so you can end up walking around with a cane. I believe Miguel doesn’t want us to be here on Earth for many years, but rather as soon as possible, because he also doesn’t want to be walking around with a cane and taken by the hand.

Now, remember that it’s promised that there will be a quick Work. The quickest Work of all time is the Work of our age. In such a short time, a lot has been done; and what is left will also be done in a short time.

And when the Tent Vision is fully fulfilled, then what was left to be done, will be done; that will be the quickest part (of the Work).

And remember to have everything in order, because when that stage comes, the times of Ananias and Sapphira will be repeated.

So have the congregations in order, also have everything registered with the government, and have your board of directors, your accounting; and keep everything very organized; and the church’s bank account, everything in order.

The minister shouldn’t pocket the money when it’s received and spend it however he wants; no. He shouldn’t even touch the money. It should be those on the board: the treasurer, the secretary, and all those people.

Remember that brother Branham himself, Reverend William Branham himself, would receive an amount that was given to him, but the rest was left in the Church for all the Church commitments; and he was given a salary of a certain amount.

So, the money is not the pastor’s; it is the Lord’s; and it should be managed well. Remember that the one who failed Christ: the treasurer, got into problems, one of the Lord’s own disciples; and anyone can have the same problem. If out of those who were with Christ, one set his heart on money, and took for himself from the money that came in, the same will happen to those who do that. But don’t worry, he is going to see where he is, he is going to visit him over there, and maybe he doesn’t want him to leave the place where he is, to keep him company there.

So have everything in order, registered, every group, every congregation, with the government. About how many years ago…? How many years has it been since we told them, Miguel? [Bro. Miguel: I believe since the beginning]. So, whoever hasn’t gotten it registered (I don’t what you would call it over here)…; in Puerto Rico they call it negligence; and if it were in the time of Moses they would call it disobedience or rebellion.

So, the responsibility was put on your shoulders. You have already heard the lawyer. So, you should have everything in order and know that you should never become denominationalized.

There is only one Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville; and the ministers who had fellowship with Reverend William Branham, neither him, nor the Branham Tabernacle, registered them under the name of the Braham Tabernacle; each one registered his church, his congregation.

Also in Puerto Rico there is only one: La Carpa Corporation, and no other congregation (which, there are others in Puerto Rico), none of them are registered under La Carpa Catedral [The Tent Cathedral]; they’re not even permitted to name another congregation La Carpa.

And it’s what I’ve always told Miguel: they should not use the same name of one for others or for all of them, because that already delineates or approaches… before God, towards denomination. And let’s see what Reverend William Branham says: page 167, paragraph 1488 [Quotations]. And it’s best to take this into account.

It says… Miguel and I were reading it… It was page 167, [paragraph] 1488; it says¹:

1488 – “148 Now, have you noticed, every three years after a—a great meeting, what takes place? A denomination. This is twenty years,” (in other words, what God was doing with Reverend William Branham, he says it’s been 20 years), “…This is twenty years, and no denomination. Dear dying Lamb, may it never do that. If I go in this generation, may the people who believe this Message never stand still for a denomination! God will…You’ll die right in your track! Remember that! The very hour that you mention denomination among you, I don’t care how sincere you are, take man for your leader instead of the Holy Spirit to confirm this Word, that’s the hour you die!” (Spiritual death comes in).

There is another place… let’s see… page 116, paragraph 1023, says [Quotations]²:

1023 – “133 That’s the reason the Lutheran died when Wesley rose up. It was in another age. The Word come forth, and they had to accept It or die. That’s the reason that the Pentecostals are dying now, because the age is here. The Word has been made manifest, the eagle time…” (in other words, the time of the prophet, because prophets are typified in eagles).

And then the following verse or paragraph, after that same page: 116, paragraph 1024, says [Quotations]³:

1024 – “142 They reject the vindicated Word and take a dogma, instead…”

And the vindicated Word comes when the messenger is sent; and through the messenger God vindicates, confirms, quickens, brings to life that Word promised for that time; and when a person or a congregation or a minister rejects It, they die spiritually.

Maybe they don’t like something that comes in the vindicated Word for the people or for the ministers, and they reject It; and that is how they start dying. It cannot be the idea of a person or of a group of people. It has to be what God has for His people for that time, which He makes known through the messenger that He sends. Now, it goes on to say:

1024 – “[142] That forms death, spiritual death.

Dead! The Word is still preached to the dead. Exactly! Won’t be through the Millennium, now, see. They’re…”

And now, notice, how is the Word is being preached to the dead now and not in the Millennium? And how is the Word preached to the dead? Because it is commonly understood that the Word is preached to the living; but in the Garden of Eden, upon sinning, the human being died, he died to Eternal Life, and the human race is dead to Eternal Life; they are dead, although they are alive in this temporary earthly life, but dead to Eternal Life, see? And it is preached to them so that there is a resurrection to Eternal Life, which is what happens with the people who receive Christ and are baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptizes them with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and brings forth the new birth in them: they are born again, they are born to Eternal Life. See?

Now, see how simple the Word is? Now, let’s read in Revelation chapter 19… (if you have the book of The Seals and the book of The Ages, and one of you can let me borrow it… You already know which is the one that… page 484… this is the one.)

Let’s read Revelation chapter 19, verse 11 and on, where it says:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”

May God bless His Word in our hearts and allow us to understand It.

“THE MAN WHO RECEIVES THE VESTURE, THE HORSE AND THE CROWN OF THE KING (AND THE SCEPTER).”

Because a king without a scepter doesn’t even rule over his wife. And now… To put it more gently: he doesn’t even rule over the queen.

And now, to have a clear picture, notice, according to the Scriptures this is Christ coming with the saints. Verse 15 says:

“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,” (and what is that? The Word), “that with it he should smite the nations,” (that is, it’s the judgment upon the nations), “and he shall rule them with a rod of iron,” (don’t forget these words: rod of iron), “and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”

And now, to move on, we could have explained this in no… (they say “in no time,” right, Miguel?) But let’s… on page 131 [p. 151 in Eng.] of the book of the The Seals: the first paragraph and the second paragraph says, and even the third one, says:

“283 And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.

284 It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding…” (there we have the white-horse Rider again). “There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something.”

And what does there have to be? Well, the white-horse Rider, with the sword in his mouth: the Word. Where does God put His Word? In the mouth, in the mouth of the one who must speak.

“[284] Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’”

Therefore, it isn’t the name Jesus, because everyone understands the name Jesus. And sometimes they don’t understand what is the name of the Messiah in His First Coming, which is Yeshua. Jesus is the translation.

Now, to avoid repeating the reading… this was the reading of Revelation chapter 19, which we already read; now, at the end he says:

“285 There comes the Messiah. There He is.”

It is the Coming of the Messiah.

Now, let’s move ahead a bit. Let’s see if [page] 270 [p. 310 in Eng.] tells us something here, let’s see. The first paragraph says:

“321 Here we see Life and death coming to the final struggle. The white horse, of true Life; the pale-horse, of mixed creed. They see the thing coming to the—to the real showdown.”

So, a confrontation is coming.

And now, page 256 [p. 295 in Eng.], which pertains to this same Fourth Seal, the third paragraph says:

“196 But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man. See? That’s just how much different there is in them. That’s the difference of them.”

That is the difference between the white-horse Rider and the pale-horse rider. The pale-horse rider is the antichrist, the white-horse Rider is Christ.

Now, let’s see something here: the book of The Seals, page 57 [p. 70 in Eng.], speaking about the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, it says:

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

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

He comes directly to the Jews. So, you will see some connection between that Angel and the Jews. He goes on to say:

“[30] All right.

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

I want to see something here… He says:

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

And now, the Messenger to Israel, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ (who…), the Angel of the Covenant, who gave the Covenant there on Sinai, and then made Himself flesh and gave us the New Covenant, now, here in Revelation chapter 1, He now comes with the little Book open in His hand, the Lamb’s Book of Life, the Seven-Sealed Book, the Book of Redemption. And He comes to give It to a man.

And therefore, all the rights are contained in that Book. Adam had It, because God gave It to him; but he lost the right to have It, and God took It back, that is why he couldn’t continue living eternally.

Then It has remained in the right hand of God for thousands of years, plus… let’s say, six thousand years or six thousand and something years. But in Revelation chapter 5, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, when He finishes His Intercession Work in Heaven, the Scripture says that He leaves; and He is somewhat bloody because He just left the Most Holy Place. Just like the high priest when he would leave the most holy place, how was he? All bloody (back in the Old Testament), because he was making intercession with blood, and He had also made the sacrifice of that goat;⁴ therefore, it’s normal for him to be full of blood.

And now, He comes, takes the Book in Heaven, carries out His Claiming Work… because He was the only One who could take such an important Book, the most important Book in Heaven: the names of all those who would be saved are in there. It is the Book of Life, which has the section of the Lamb’s Book of Life and the Book of Life, where we find (in the other section), where the names of beings who come to live on this Earth are written; the names of the foolish virgins are there, also in that section; and some can be blotted out of that section. But they cannot be blotted out of the section of the Lamb’s Book of Life, out of that part of that Book.

Now, He comes with that Title Deed of Eternal Life, of the Heavens and of the Earth; and never in the history of Heaven (and much less of Earth) has anyone eaten that Book. Adam was very close, but he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he did not eat of the Tree of Life.

And now, we find that Christ is the Redeemer, and He is going to redeem all those who are written there, in the part of the Lamb’s Book of Life, which, the name of every person there has been written before the foundation of the world; that is in Revelation chapter 13, verse 8, around there; and chapter 17, verse 8 also.

And now, Christ takes that Book in Heaven, He opens It, and then He brings It to Earth. The content of that Book manifests itself throughout the history of the human race. And above all, from the days of Christ to the present, there we have the history of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is, what would be the history of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is prophesied there, in those apocalyptic symbols; even the Millenium is there, and even eternity, which we get into starting from Revelation chapter 21, and going on to chapter 22; all of that is already eternity; because the New Jerusalem —the heavenly City— is already established on Earth, where the Throne of God and of the Lamb will be.

Where will the heavenly Throne be? On Earth, in the New Jerusalem, after the Millennial Kingdom; and the Throne of the Lamb, which is the Throne of David, will also be there; and they will merge in that eternal Kingdom.

And now, Christ takes that Title Deed, opens It in Heaven, and in Revelation chapter 10, He descends with that little Book open in His hand to give It to a man; and he hears from Heaven that he is told… verse 8 of chapter 10 of Revelation:

“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me,” (the Mighty Angel, who is Christ), “And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

The Last Message of God, which is prophetic, notice where It is: It is to be given, to be spoken, by the One who eats that little Book; who is being represented, typified there, in the apostle Saint John.

Therefore, all the prophecies of the Divine Judgments that will come upon Earth will be spoken by the One who eats the little Book; and all those prophecies will be based on the Biblical prophecies, because the Divine Judgments that already happened in other times will be repeated.

Because prophecies have multiple fulfillments; one prophecy can be fulfilled once, twice, three times, four times, or five times; and it will always be at a time when the conditions are parallel to that time in which it was fulfilled; therefore, the same prophecy will be repeated.

Now, we have seen that a man will eat that Title Deed; and it will be the first time; because upon eating It, no one else has the opportunity to take the Book and eat It. He will be able to make known —just as it is written through His prophetic Message— all the things contained in that Book, because he is going to prophesy according to what is written in that Title Deed.

And now, seeing that in Revelation chapter 19, it says that this white-horse Rider, it says that he comes with a sword that comes out of his mouth, it says:

“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”

And let’s see Revelation chapter 2, verses 26 to 29, where it says:

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”

And now, Christ, the Mighty Angel, received It from the Father, and now that authority is transferred to the Overcomer; he is the One who will receive the open little Book, eat It, and then in his mouth he will have that Sword, the Word. And remember that the Third Pull is the Sword, the Sword in the hand; It can be in the hand, It can be in the mouth… It is the Word.

The same thing that God has done with Christ, who overcame, resurrected victorious and went up to Heaven, which He had said would happen that way⁵… Just as that person who is going to obtain the victory will be able to say what will happen, because that is already written, it is already prophesied in the Word, and that cannot change; and Christ is the One who says He is going to do it that way.

Therefore, He will be able to speak like Jesus spoke. Now, He won’t say that they will see Him sitting on the Father’s Throne, but He can say: “Sitting on the Throne of David, with Christ.” Because, who is the one that receives authority like Christ received it in Heaven, from the Father? And consequently, He said: “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on Earth.⁶

And now the power that is given to Him in Heaven and on Earth… the power that is given to Him on Earth, just as He received it from the Father, now He will give power to the Overcomer; He will give him power over which nation? Over all the nations. He will be the One anointed with the Spirit of God, with the Spirit of Christ, for Jews and for Gentiles, for all the nations, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and for all the nations.

And it’s through him that the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19 will rule all the nations with that rod of iron.

Remember, the Lord will do nothing unless it’s through the One who is going to obtain the victory; and it will have to be a dispensational messenger to be able to have a Message of Great Voice of Trumpet, to be able to receive the Sword through which the Third Pull will come.

And now, we always find Christ working through human beings in the midst of His Church; just as Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in the Old Testament or Covenant with the Hebrew people, worked through human beings, through prophets.

Christ has been doing the same thing in the New Testament in the midst of His Church. He said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.”⁷ And He has been working through His different messengers, from age to age, and through His different ministers that He has placed beside those messengers.

And now, we find that it has been the Work of Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church.

In spiritual terms, the Church is Zion; that is why the Church is waiting for the Coming of the Lord, because “the Deliverer shall come to Zion”⁸ to carry out the physical deliverance, which will be the transformation of the living in Christ and the resurrection of the dead believers in Christ. It’s for that adoption that Christ, the Mighty Angel, the Angel of the Covenant, is promised to come to His Church.

Reverend William Branham, speaking about that mystery… If you have the book or the message “Christ, The Mystery Of God Revealed…”⁹ let’s see if we have it around here… Here we have it: page 106 (I’ll only read a short part to you here), he says:

“[105] …the hidden mystery of God that He had in His mind before the world ever began, and how that it’s unfolded itself right down to this present hour that we’re living. See? Then you will understand clearly then, you see, on, I believe, what is being done. (…)

[106] See, God has this all to Himself. It’s a secret. And that’s the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord.”

Because the Thunders are the ones that reveal the Coming of the Lord; in other words, the Voice of Christ, who reveals with His Message, reveals the Coming of the Lord. Christ speaking at the Last Day is the One who reveals His Coming. All we have to do is find through whom it is promised that He will speak and we will find who is the Overcomer that will eat the Book, through whom He —Christ in Holy Spirit— will be speaking, prophesying, before many peoples, nations, and tongues.

Because the one who actually prophesies is the Holy Spirit, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant. The veil of flesh is only the instrument. Just like you see this microphone, and you see… you can see the speakers, but neither the speakers nor the microphone are the ones speaking; although you hear, you listen to the speakers talking, you hear… or through this microphone the voice reaches the speakers, it goes through the amplifier and everything, see? There is a microphone, there is an amplifier, and there are some speakers.

That is how the Voice of God is amplified and heard by the people; that is the human instrumentality that God uses: His prophets. “Surely the Lord will do nothing without first revealing His secrets to His servants, His prophets.”¹⁰

That is why in Deuteronomy chapter 18, verses 15 to 19, it says: “The Lord your God will raise up a prophet like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.”

Why? Because it’s through him that Christ, God in Holy Spirit, speaks to the people. And therefore, the words that are in the Bible, which say: “Voice of a god, and not of a man,”¹¹ that is what the people want: Voice of God, and not of a man. And the Voice of God comes through the Spirit of God through the messenger, the prophet that He has for each time.

Notice, here it is: Zechariah chapter 7 says so; it shows the order for God to speak, so that people hear the Voice of God. Chapter 7, verse 11 to 12, says:

“But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets…”

See? God through His Spirit, which is the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in His heavenly body, the Word, God through the Word, through His Holy Spirit, speaks to human beings through veils of flesh called prophets.

“… therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”

See? Because he who doesn’t hear the Voice of God for the time in which he is given to live, always finds himself in trouble with God.

Now, Moses goes on to say, there in Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 18 says, from that point on:

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth,” (the Sword in the mouth); “and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”

In other words, he has a big problem, because God will require it of every human being who has not heard the Voice of God in the way that God said He would speak, in the way that God said He would bring His Word: He would put It in the mouth of a man, of a prophet, for the relevant age. That is how from age to age, through human beings, the Word of God has come.

And now, God will give a man power over all the nations. It has to be one from the House of God, from the Family of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; he has to be there in the Church and he has to be put over the House of God; he has to be one of the laborers, of the faithful and wise servants, which as messengers of the seven ages are seven messengers, but then comes the Age of the Cornerstone.

Each messenger in his time was the faithful and wise servant giving the Message, the spiritual Food, for the soul of the believers of his age; and at the Last Day so will the one who will be present to receive the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, and receive the Title Deed from His hand, and eat It, and then prophesy before many peoples, nations, and tongues, all those things that will come, the Divine judgments and other things that will happen during the Great Tribulation.

But before that he is already a prophet, he won’t become a prophet; he will have already been born a prophet in the family of the prophets, in the House of God; and he will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, whom Christ speaks about in Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, and tells us:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

And if he shows the things that will be done, then he is prophesying; because what will happen is made known through the prophecy.

Also in chapter 22, verse 16, He says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

The one sent to all the Churches is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

And now, this Angel Messenger of Christ, is the most important angel messenger of the whole book of Revelation, along with the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven.

Now, who is the Mighty Angel and who is that Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ? Reverend William Branham says on page 41 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 330¹²:

330 – “[108] We do not know who the angel was. The Bible doesn’t say who the angel was. But we know that it was a prophet, ’cause the Bible later said, that, ‘I Jesus have sent my angel to testify these things which must shortly come to pass.’

109 Then we find out that when John started to worship the angel, the angel said, ‘See that you do it not.’ Revelation 22, I believe it is. And he said, ‘For I am of thy fellowservants and of the prophets.’ It might have been Elijah. It might have been one of the prophets. John was an apostle. But this prophet was sent.”

Remember that Jesus asked Peter on one occasion?¹³: “Whom do men say that the Son of Man is?” The question for our time, in addition to that, is: “Whom do men say that the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is?”

Some say: “It might be Elijah,” (they say), “Reverend William Branham;” others say: “It might be one of the prophets…” the same thing they used to say about Jesus, the Son of Man; but there will be a group of people who will have the Divine revelation of who the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is.

He will be the only one who will be able to obtain all these promises that have been made, he is the one who will be able to receive from the hand of Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, the open Book, which was sealed with Seven Seals, and he will be able to eat It and prophesy before many peoples, nations, and tongues.

And that will take place when the very last elect has come in, and Christ rises up from the Father’s Throne, and has finished His Work of Intercession, takes the Book, opens It in Heaven, brings It to Earth: “Here It is,” gives It to the messenger that He will have on Earth so that he eats It.

Remember that John (who is the one that represents, typifies, the Church and each messenger as well, and therefore, that messenger) was already a believer in Christ, and he already had a ministry of many years. In other words, the one who is going to eat the Book will also have a ministry of many years. And the Church that will receive him is also the Church that was born on the Day of Pentecost, but —like the eagle— Her youth is renewed; and at the Last Day, She will appear as a young Church, represented in some young women who passed by in a vision that was given to Reverend William Branham.¹⁴

Now, we can see that these Divine promises relevant to the Last Day will become a reality. We have seen that someone will receive power over the nations and will rule them with a rod of iron. (What does it mean to rule, Miguel?) To govern. He will govern them, not with a weak hand: with an iron hand; that is what is in Zechariah chapter 14 as well.

Now, the Scripture tells us that this white-horse Rider of Revelation is the One who can do something (verse 15) [chapter 19]:

“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”

The winepress of the fierceness: “…he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” And then we find that this is what the Overcomer will do. It says:

[Revelation 2:26] “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

And I will give him the morning star,” (which we already know is the Holy Spirit, the Seal of the living God, the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant).

In him the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, will be working all those things that are promised; and therefore, the white-horse Rider of Revelation will be manifesting Himself through the instrument that He has at that time; and therefore, in him will be the vesture, the horse, and the crown of the King, and the scepter of the King; and in the midst of the people among whom he will be, they will have the shout of the King, the jubilee of the King!

And now, let’s conclude now (tomorrow we have to… we have commitments). [The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, “The First Seal,” p. 154]

“[302] Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us,” (now, He is going to become incarnate again; He was incarnate in Jesus, He will become incarnate again), “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).

Not only will Israel have the jubilee of the King, the shout of the King, the hosanna, but the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the end time, will also have this blessing.

And now, the promise is that the Holy Spirit will become incarnate. Page 146 says [The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, “The First Seal,” p. 168]:

“402 And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.”

He is referring to a man who will be the instrument of the Holy Spirit, of Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His people, His Church, and then in the midst of the Hebrew people. On page 352, the second-to-last paragraph tells us [The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, “The Sixth Seal,” p. 405]:

“[202] And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the stre-…on the scene; God moves Hisself fully on, to redeem it all,” (meaning, to transform the living in Christ and to resurrect the dead in glorified bodies). “See, just run, just right together. And they’re, both, side by side. Cain and Abel! The crow and the dove, on the ark! Judas and Jesus!”

And the Judas will be the antichrist. And Jesus, Christ, will be in Spirit, veiled and revealed at the Last Day, the Holy Spirit operating the ministries of Elijah, Moses, and Jesus. What will be happening at this end time is as simple as that.

And Christ will be the One who will be working at this end time, but He will have —as He has always had— an instrument, to work through him. And in the last instrument that He has, the last messenger, He will manifest Himself in all His fullness when He finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, leaves the Throne of Intercession, takes the Title Deed, opens It in Heaven, brings It to Earth, and gives It to a man; through that man He will manifest Himself in all His fullness when the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is completed.

That is why what we saw partially (shown temporarily) in Reverend William Branham, that Third Pull that we saw, of the Word being spoken and things coming into creation, will be manifested in all Its fullness, but that time will also be a time of squeeze.

That is why Reverend, Dr. Miguel Bermúdez Marín, warns you to have everything up to date, because the more organized you have things, perhaps the easier the squeeze will be; if you don’t have them in order, the squeeze may be more difficult for you.

Remember that the more comfortable – the more you have everything in order: the more comfortable you will be. It’s like when you have a spacious, comfortable shoe (meaning that it doesn’t fit tight); but whoever bought it too tight, well, the squeeze on your foot will be worse. Whoever has a shoe that’s very comfortable, roomy: he will feel the shoe, but the squeeze won’t be as strong, it won’t be as tight.

During that time of the squeeze is when the fullness of Christ, of the Holy Spirit, of God, will be manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is the time of the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; because in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision is where the great miracles, the great wonders, will take place; and it has been said that the miracles will be for Moses and Elijah, for the Two Olive Trees.¹⁵

In other words, the Tent that Reverend William Branham visited in a vision wasn’t his, it wasn’t his tabernacle, it wasn’t his tent; it was someone else’s. When he went it was already built, it was operating, there were preachings, there were altar calls and miracles were taking place.¹⁶ It was a visit to which or in which he arrived at a Great Tent Cathedral.

But now, if that didn’t belong to Reverend William Branham, who did it belong to? Well, to the Two Olive Trees, because they are the Ones who are to carry out those works in the Divine Program.

It’s like the Hebrew people and dealing with the Hebrew people: he was there, but he was told… page 41, “Recognizing Your Day And Its Message;” to avoid reading too much to you, it says¹⁷:

“212 I said, ‘Lord, here I am, ready.’ Jumped on the plane; took the money and got me a ticket; stopped in Cairo. Said, ‘Yeah, I’m ready.’

213 The Holy Spirit said, ‘This is not your place. This is not your time.’ See, you get ahead of yourself.”

Let’s leave it at that. Reverend William Branham is the one who says that the Holy Spirit told him that. He was getting ahead of something that wasn’t for the time of the ministry that he had.

Let’s continue a bit:

“[213] I thought, ‘Oh, my!’”

Notice, he had already made a commitment to the ministers(!); they had given him money, the ticket… He says:

“[213] ‘Oh, my! I come way over here; I’m—I’m going to go,’” (in other words, “I have to go back”).

214 Something said, ‘Stop right here! Don’t you go that way,’” (in other words, “don’t go to Israel). “‘Turn on in into India. Don’t go that. Go over to India, but don’t you go here.’

215 Thought, ‘Why?’ As I walked out behind the hangar…” (meaning, where they keep the planes).

Remember that he had always believed that he was the messenger who had to go to Israel and that God would deal with Israel through him; he had always thought that it was the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time, until later on it was revealed to him that it was the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time. Notice, he says:

“215 Thought, ‘Why?’ As I walked out behind the hangar, I said, ‘Lord Jesus, what does this mean?’

Then He made known to me. ‘No Gentile. These prophets are the one.’ It has to be according to the Scripture. ‘Moses and Elijah has to come.’ And, besides, the Bride hasn’t been taken out of the way yet. ‘And them prophets will return and they’ll do the sign of the prophet.’ That’s the Scripture. There it all is fulfilled then, perfectly, Israel as a nation will be born in one day.”

Now, we can see that he tried to conquer that promise. (Anyone would!). But it’s not a matter of wanting or trying to conquer it. If it were meant for him, he would have conquered it; if it wasn’t meant for him, well, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to: the Holy Spirit prevented him from trying to achieve that promise, he was forbidden to go to Israel.

He says that he traveled, he went around the world (how many times, Miguel?) seven times, without going to Israel.¹⁸ And when he tries to go to Israel, the Angel tells him not to go there, He forbade him from going. It’s because there is a Divine Program, and it must be according to God’s Program.

THE MAN WHO RECEIVES THE VESTURE, THE HORSE AND CROWN OF THE KING; the one who receives THE SCEPTER OF THE KING, that is the man in whom Christ, the white-horse Rider, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, will be fulfilling all those promises.

That is also why the Holy Spirit didn’t make known what the Seventh Seal was, so that there wouldn’t be imitations; that is why we are as careful as possible. But sometimes some people appear, and they come and end up imitating.

Those will be like Jannes and Jambres (Jannes and Jambres): for being imitators, they will receive the same thing that Jannes and Jambres did.

What God will do through a messenger can’t be imitated, nor can that messenger be impersonated to try and say: “I can achieve what that messenger will do or is doing”. That is trying to steal his ministry, position, and blessing from God.

That is the same thing that Aaron and Miriam said: “Has God not spoken also by us? Has He spoken only by Moses?” and leprosy came upon Miriam or Mary, and then Aaron was very afraid.¹⁹ And they were his siblings(!).

And if even his siblings were not allowed to speak that way and to act on trying to take Moses’ place, much less someone who isn’t even family. Impersonating Moses was death.

Impersonating a messenger to try to take that messenger’s place has always been death throughout Biblical history.

And what’s more, look at Gehazi, who asked for money, silver, and garments on behalf of Elisha, from general Naaman.²⁰ Those who act that way without authorization are the Gehazis of the present time. It was for him, he kept it, see? In other words, we have to be very careful with the way we work in the Work of the Lord, and remember that Elisha knew what Gehazi was doing, through the Spirit.

So don’t think that Gehazi was acting and Elisha didn’t know it. If just by… because the Syrian armies surrounded Elisha to take him captive, to kidnap him and take him to the king to say: “This is the man who, when you, king, meet with your officials, your princes, and discuss something, he already knows about it over there; no matter how far away he is he knows; he sees everything as if he had a television there, as if he had surveillance cameras there, with a camera installed over here; and then he tells the king: Look, they are planning such and such a thing.”²¹

The antichrist thinks that everything he does in secret won’t be known. The Scripture says: “judge nothing before the time.”²² (Until what time, Miguel?) [Bro. Miguel: It says until the Lord comes.] When He will make known the hidden things of darkness, and therefore, the hidden things of the kingdom of darkness. All of that will be brought to light.

Well, all of that will be done by THE MAN WHO RECEIVES THE VESTURE, THE HORSE AND THE CROWN OF THE KING; Christ will carry it out through that man; because it will be Christ in Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit through the instrument that He has, working all those things. And God will take care of him. And when the time comes in which he must depart, well, it will be in the time ordained by God; but it will be for three and a half days, a vacation or a short trip to Paradise.

Remember that Christ took a trip to Paradise, although He had to go through another place that wasn’t very good, where He had a battle and where He obtained the keys of hell and of death, taking them away from the devil.²³

So, we are in a very glorious, very important time, where we have to have our spiritual eyes wide open; and also know the Biblical prophecies for the end time, know the things that were spoken by Reverend William Branham, because he is the forerunner of the Coming of the Lord. And the Son of Man comes with His Angels; that’s why he would speak about the Coming of Jesus, the coming of Elijah, the coming of Moses, and he would speak about the things that would come to pass.

Reverend William Branham did a good introduction; he says that the Angel told him: “Your Message will introduce Christ in His Coming.”²⁴ Therefore, the Coming of the Lord will be fulfilled according to how it was spoken in the introduction, in the introduction Message. It won’t turn to the right nor to the left: the fulfillment of what has been promised will go through the very center.

“THE MAN WHO RECEIVES THE VESTURE, THE HORSE AND THE CROWN OF THE KING.” That is the one to whom Christ says:

[Revelation 3:21] “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

So, he will have a crown.

Well, it has been a great privilege and blessing to be with you tonight. Tomorrow, Miguel, we have a lot of work already. It takes work for one to get up as well, because we have to be at the airport by like 6:00 in the morning (Miguel tells me). He’s already improved a lot at that. Before, well, he would’ve told me: “No, I’ll be there at 7:00 in the morning,” but now he tells me: “At 6:00;” so now he forces me to wake up early and arrive early to places.

I thank you, Miguel, for doing that, because now I’m the one who falls a bit behind. May God bless you, Miguel, and use you greatly in His Work at this end time; and may God keep you living on this Earth and working in His Work every day until we are all transformed.

I desire the same thing for each one of you as well. Everyone taking care of each other because a moment of squeeze is coming. They will seek every possible way to stop the Bride’s activities, to close Her auditoriums, Her temples. Remember that Reverend William Branham spoke about that.²⁵ He also said they will close the one in Jeffersonville, Indiana, either they will try to close it, or they will close it (you can look for it later, Miguel).²⁶

So, keep everything in order, avoid problems as well, so that you don’t smear the reputation of the other congregations. Remember that you aren’t the only minister, and your congregation isn’t the only congregation. There are many ministers and many congregations. What you do, will make – will influence the other congregations, it will either be beneficial or harmful to other congregations; and therefore, well, you will have to give an account to God. We all have to answer to God in the Court of Christ.

So, it’s best to do things the way they are in the Word, the way they are according to Reverend William Branham’s advice, the way they are in the Message of the final hour. And to have all these things in order in all the congregations and in all the ministers as well; and avoiding being a stumbling stone for other people.

Remember that Christ said: woe to them that cause stumbling or bring offense! It is… He says: “There will be offenses, but woe to those from whom the offense comes!” What else does He say after that, Miguel? “It would be better for him to die…” that is, “it would be better for him that a millstone were hung around his neck and that he were cast into the depth of the sea.”²⁷ And what? For the sharks to eat him? Better the shark’s mouth than the lake of fire(!).

Well, but none of you should do that. Instead, avoid problems, and that’s the best; and let’s always work together in the Divine Program.

Well, may God bless and keep you all, and together with your congregations, continue praying for me, for Miguel, for all the ministers, for all the evangelistic, missionary work, for The Great Tent Cathedral project; and so, let’s work in that Divine Program for everyone’s benefit.

We will continue to see how God works, and we will continue seeing many other things as time passes.

I have already told you many things very openly, therefore, imitators may appear; and you already know that it’s because many things have been spoken very clearly. And Reverend William Branham said around, I think it’s around page 471 of the book of The Seals, that the devil doesn’t know that mystery of the Seventh Seal; but he says that if he managed to find out, he would cause a lot of harm.

So, this stays between us for the benefit of us all, to be aware of how the Divine Program is going. I’m not going to read it to you, but I wanted to tell you which page it was: 467 of The Seals, 467 [p. 543 in Eng.]. That whole passage speaks about that.

That is why there are things that haven’t been spoken openly; but let Christ finish His Work of Intercession, resurrect the dead believers in Him and transform us, and then the world will really know what the Seventh Seal is, because It will be opened publicly; but that will cause a confrontation, a war, a spiritual battle; because with the opening of each Seal there is a spiritual battle, a spiritual war.

With the sounding of a Trumpet there is a physical war. And let’s leave it at that, because, with… we’ll leave the Vials for another time.

May God bless you and keep you, and let’s leave Miguel around here, because as far as dessert goes, I think that’s been plenty; because, we had already finished, and Miguel, who still has a sweet tooth… he always likes dessert, not only physical, but spiritual too.

Well, may God bless you and keep you, and continue having a happy night, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. And we will see each other, when, Miguel? Are there any more services with the ministers?

We’ll talk later. You can see that I don’t accompany Miguel throughout the whole tour, instead I meet him on some occasions; and I’m there for some activities; but I hope you understand and you don’t expect me to give you all the details to… because the Divine Program could be interrupted.

I love you with all my soul, with all my heart, and I’m very grateful to God for all of you, whom God has put by my side to work in the Work of God.

Well, may God bless you and keep you, and with us Reverend Miguel Bermúdez Marín. Thank you very much.
