Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite or the internet in different nations. It is a great privilege to be with you, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For this occasion, let’s read chapter 10 of Revelation, which is a very important passage, and it is prophetic, a prophecy; it 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.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
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, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“THE MIGHTY ANGEL WITH THE RAINBOW UPON HIS HEAD, SWEARING THAT TIME IS NO MORE.”
So, the focus for today’s subject is: The Mighty Angel, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand.
In order to understand this passage, let’s go to Ezekiel, where we have the same thing, but back in the Old Testament. And it tells us in Ezekiel, chapter 3, it says:
“Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel,” (meaning, to the northern kingdom).
“(…) And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.”
What is happening there is the same as Revelation chapter 10. Here God is giving Ezekiel a Book, which in those times was in the form of a scroll; not like nowadays, where we have it like this… this type of book that we use nowadays. And now, God says for him to eat – take that Book and eat It, that roll, to eat It and speak to the house of Israel, but He also tells him: “And cause thy belly to eat.” “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”1 It is a Book that contains the Word of God and contains the things that will come to pass. And in order to prophesy, well, he has to eat that Word that is given to him, which contains what he is going to prophesy to the house of Israel. And he says that he took It and ate It, and it was sweet as honey; the same thing as Revelation chapter 10.
“And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them,” (meaning, with those words that are in the Book that he ate).
“For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.”
That experience that Ezekiel went through there is parallel to the one that John the apostle is going through in Revelation chapter 10. The little Book contains the Word of God, and the prophet is fed with that Word, and It is sweet in his mouth; and with that same Word he speaks to the people, he prophesies to the people; it’s the same thing in Revelation chapter 10.
The little Book open in the hand of the Angel who comes down from Heaven with the rainbow upon His head, notice, that Angel is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in Holy Spirit, Christ in His heavenly body; and He comes from where? From Heaven, where in Revelation chapter 5 He takes the little Book that was sealed with seven Seals and was in the right hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne; in other words, He takes It from the right hand of God, from the right hand of the Father, where It has been since Adam and Eve sinned; and that Book —which is the Title Deed, the Book of Redemption, the Title Deed of Eternal Life and of all Creation— returned to God’s hands.
And now, written in there are the names of all the sons and daughters of God who would be sent to Earth, those souls of God that had been lost because of the fall in the Garden of Eden; and now they will be redeemed through the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross and restored to Eternal Life. And Christ must be in Heaven, on the Father’s Throne, the Throne of Intercession, as High Priest, interceding with His own Blood for those people who have their names written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, in other words, in that Seven-Sealed Book.
And when He has redeemed every last one that has his name written there, the very last elect that would form His Church – or that would complete, with whom He would complete His Church, then Christ will have finished His Work of Redemption, His Work of Intercession, to then leave the Throne of Intercession, take that Book…; He comes out and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
That is why the elder says to John in chapter 5 of Revelation: “John, weep not. Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who has prevailed to take the Book and to open Its Seals.” And when John looks, what he sees is a Lamb; but they both saw the same thing, but from a different perspective.
John saw Him, he saw Jesus Christ, and the elder also saw Jesus Christ; but John saw Him as a Lamb and the elder saw Him as a Lion; because John knew Him as the Lamb of God for the Dispensation of Grace, and as High Priest making intercession in Heaven; but the elder saw Him as a Lion, because He had already finished His Work of Intercession, and now He becomes King and Judge of all the Earth; for which, He takes the Title Deed to make His claim over everything He has redeemed with His precious Blood, as Lamb of God and High Priest.
And when that happens, the time of redemption (the time for people to come to Christ, be baptized in water in His Name, and for Christ to baptize them with the Holy Spirit, and bring forth the new birth in them) has already ended; that door of the Dispensation of Grace will already be closed, which is what it says in the parable of the ten virgins.2
Which shows us that when the foolish virgins return, and find that the wise virgins have already entered, and the door was shut, then they begin to cry out for the door to be opened to them; but they are told that they are not known by the Bridegroom: “I know you not.” They were not known or recognized as part of the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, who are the ones that would go in with Him to the Marriage and the door would be shut.
We also have here in Saint Luke chapter 13, verses 22 and on, another passage which speaks to us about the same thing; it says:
“And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”
Now, we can see how sad it will be when the Master of the house, which is Christ, shuts the door; and the door is Christ, He said so Himself in Saint John chapter 10, verse 9: “I am the door, by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and find pasture,” meaning, food for the soul. Also in Saint Matthew chapter 7, verses 13 to 15, He tells us that the strait gate is the one through which… (let’s read it), there are few who find that gate, and there are few who enter through that gate; and He also speaks to us about the narrow way. He says, chapter 7, verse 13 to 14, of Saint Matthew:
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat,” (meaning, through the wide gate, the gate that leads to destruction),
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
The gate is strait and the way is narrow, the gate and the way that lead where? To Eternal Life.
And now, we have seen that throughout these two thousand years in which the Dispensation of Grace has been in effect, millions of people have entered through the strait Gate, in other words, through Christ, who is that strait Gate, by receiving Him as their only and sufficient Savior, and they have been on the Way that leads to Eternal Life, which is Christ, walking with Christ our Savior, along the Lord’s Way, which is He Himself.
And now, we have the fact that by the time this Mighty Angel comes down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand, the time of redemption will have already ended; that is, the time where people have the opportunity to hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, and receive Him as their only and sufficient Savior, be baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptizes them with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and brings forth the new birth in them.
By then, to obtain salvation and Eternal Life, and become part of the Church, there will no be no more time; the Church of the Lord, the spiritual Temple of Christ, will already be completed: by then, all the elect, who have been sent from Heaven (their souls come from Heaven, they are the Father’s sheep), will all already be gathered in the Fold of the Lord, from the first to the last. The first ones, well, they were already gathered in the Lord’s Fold, His Church, and they already finished their time on Earth, and they are in Paradise.
And at this time, it pertains to the elect of the time of the Age of the Cornerstone, the golden stage, the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ said: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Saint Matthew chapter 28, verses 16 to 20.
Christ has been in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, in the midst of His Church, and from stage to stage He has sent a messenger through whom He has manifested Himself and brought the Word for the people; the Word has been given to the messenger, the messenger has caught It, believed It, and proclaimed It; and what has happened to the messenger is the same thing that happens to all the rest who receive that Word; and they become part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in and for the age in which that messenger is sent.
It has been the Holy Spirit manifested through human flesh in the different messengers that He has sent. At the Last Day, the Holy Spirit, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, will come to that golden age also manifested through His angel messenger, making known to us all the things relevant to this end time, and He will be made flesh; in other words, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven will have a veil of flesh, who will be the messenger of the Last Day, in order to speak through him; first giving him that little Book that He takes in Heaven, opens It, and brings It to Earth, that Title Deed that Adam had from God, and he lost the right to have It and God took It back again, the Title Deed of Eternal Life, the Title Deed of all Creation, where the names are written of all the sons and daughters of God, of all the elect, of all those who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which are the sons that Adam and Eve were supposed to bring to this Earth.
And now, through the Second Adam and the second Eve they are manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as sons and daughters of God. That is why they are the congregation of saints, the general assembly and Church of God’s elect, of the firstborn written in Heaven,3 in the Lamb’s Book of Life; those are the sheep that had been lost; and now, they have been redeemed by Christ our Savior.
And now, we will be seeing at the end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand and with the rainbow upon His head; the rainbow represents the Covenant of God.
And now, that Angel comes with the Divine Covenant. It is Christ coming in Holy Spirit, that is, in His heavenly body, and giving the instrument that He will have on Earth, giving him that Title Deed for him to eat It; and then He says to prophesy before many peoples, tongues, and kings.
The prophetic Word for the Last Day will be brought by the Holy Spirit. As the Holy Spirit has always done through different prophets, now at the Last Day He will bring It through the one who is going to receive and eat that Title Deed. And it will be the first time that a man eats the Title Deed. And that is why the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive will have to come, to return, to be physically restored to Eternal Life.
That is why the Coming of the Mighty Angel with that Title Deed is so important; the Title Deed of Eternal Life, the Title Deed of all Creation. That is where the prophetic Word of Christ that says the following will be effective:
[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,” (the same way. And He says), “And I will give him the morning star.”
What is the Morning Star? It is the Pillar of Fire, the Holy Spirit. That is the Seal of the living God, with which the Angel Messenger of Revelation chapter 7 comes, to call and gather together 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.
Of the northern tribes, which is the kingdom of Israel, they are (10 times 12, is how much? 120, isn’t it?) 120,000 of the northern kingdom. And of the southern kingdom, the kingdom of Judah, since it is two tribes, how many are there? 24,000 of the southern kingdom. Those are the elect of Israel, of the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah.
And it will be under the ministry of the Holy Spirit operated in that messenger who comes with the Seal of the living God, that all that will happen.
And since those are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees of Revelation 11, which appear and arise after the Mighty Angel comes with the little Book open and gives It to a man for him to eat It, and then tells him to prophesy before many peoples, nations, and tongues; and then the prophecy comes in Revelation 11, which pertains to the Two Olive Trees, to the ministries of Moses and Elijah; operated by whom? By that same Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, operated through human flesh, to call and gather together 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe.
And now, we can see how important it is to understand who is that Mighty Angel that comes down from Heaven with the rainbow upon His head and a little Book open in His hand.
We already saw that it is the Book of the Seven Seals, which was already opened in Revelation chapter 5, and… It was taken in Revelation chapter 5; opened in Revelation chapter 6; and the Seventh Seal was also opened in chapter 8, verse 1 of Revelation.
And now, already knowing this mystery of the Mighty Angel with the rainbow upon His head swearing that time shall be no longer, or that time is no more, see, the time of the Dispensation of Grace comes to an end, the time to call people to receive Christ and become part of the Church, is over; but the Third Pull that comes at that time, notice, it will impact the elect of the Church that will still be here on Earth, it will impact the foolish virgins also (but they will no longer have opportunity to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, because the door will already be closed), and it will also impact the whole world, and also the Hebrew people.
And now, time will be no more, the Scripture says, when that Mighty Angel comes down from Heaven and cries as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices. It is the Voice of the Mighty Angel, the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to His Church through the veil of flesh that He has on Earth, to whom He gives the Title Deed to prophesy before many peoples, nations, and tongues.
And by the time Christ finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, the time of redemption, to be redeemed by the Blood of Christ and placed in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Church, has already ended.
Then come other stages that have to do with mankind, with the Divine judgments that are to come upon the Earth, which will be made known, which ones they will be and what they will be like. And therefore, the Holy Spirit will be warning through the veil of flesh who eats that Title Deed, He will be warning mankind the things that are going to happen, the Divine judgments that are going to come upon the Earth.
And if they pay attention to those things that are going to happen: if it is said that such a place is going to be destroyed, and they take heed, then they will go to another place to avoid being destroyed; but if they stay, they will be destroyed. And at the beginning maybe they won’t believe that much; but once they see those things happening, then they will take heed.
Now, it will always be as it has been in other occasions: the manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit through a dispensational veil of flesh, a dispensational prophet messenger for the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; because with the Message of the Gospel of Grace, the mercy of God is proclaimed for human beings; but the Divine judgments are proclaimed, made known, under the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which will be the Message that he will be preaching when he eats the Title Deed.
In that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will be all those things that are going to happen, making known the judgment that God has already dictated in Heaven. After judging, He dictates the judgment, in other words, He declares the sentence, the sentence is made known; and then things happen. As simple as that.
And now, we can see why in Revelation chapter 8, when the Seventh Seal is opened, then what is going to happen appears there. Remember that the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, in other words, the Coming of that Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven. And in verse 5 of Revelation chapter 8, it says:
“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,” (that is Divine judgment coming, falling upon Earth).
And now, knowing now the mystery of the Mighty Angel with the rainbow upon His head, “swearing that time is no more,” then, while Christ is still on the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, who is still as High Priest making intercession, those who have not received Christ as Savior need to take advantage of the short time left before the Door of mercy closes, before it’s too late and Christ changes from Lamb and High Priest to Judge and Lion of the tribe of Judah; before Christ changes to King, to Lion; because as Lion, He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the King of kings and Lord of lords, He is the Root and the Offspring of David, and He is the Bright and Morning Star (Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16).
And now notice, what we had said about Revelation chapter 2, verse 28: “And I will give Him the Morning Star,” now in Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, Christ says that He is the Bright and Morning Star, in other words, the Overcomer is going to receive Christ, Christ is going to be in Him, He is going to have Christ, He is going to have the Bright and Morning Star to shine on a new dispensational day.
And so, that song that we listened to, the last song we heard, before… while Miguel was here, before I started: “In the East we already see a light appear…” that was written there in Jerusalem on an early morning in which a brightness started being seen in the East; and then the morning star was also visible in the East, until the sun appeared in the same East, it rose from that same brightness; that hymn, that song, was made based on that experience.
And now, when I was – I’ve been in Jerusalem these days, or every time I go, at the same hotel where I stayed, Hotel Moriah, I have always stayed there, and so, on some early mornings I am on the lookout for that brightness to come out in the East, and then to see the sun rising. That is a prophetic song.
And when you see the Jews, Israel, getting interested and you see them interested in knowing about the Mighty Angel in His last manifestation, even if they don’t understand it, but they will be attracted, impacted, when you are seeing that, remember: In the East we already see a light appear.
As it was in the time when Jacob met the Angel, this same Angel who comes down from Heaven, and wrestled with Him all night; and then once the day was breaking, the Angel tells him: “Let Me go, I have to go,” He had to leave.4
It will be the same way at this end time as well, because at this end time we have to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And you know that when you have a commitment for a… a very important commitment, whether it’s a party or some other commitment, and there is someone holding you back, even if it’s a visitor, you try to tell them: “I’m very sorry; you can stay here, you will have everything you need, but I have to go, I have a commitment.” And if they… “No, but don’t leave!”
—“It’s because I have a commitment, I have to go. In plain words, the commitment that I have, even though you’re important, it is more important, because it is a commitment that I already made before making a commitment to you.”
And Jacob tells Him: “I will not let You go until You bless me.” That was the only thing he wanted: God’s blessing. And that is what will be happening with the Hebrew people, with those 144,000, when they see the right thing, that is, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, the Angel of the Covenant, the same One who delivered them from bondage in Egypt, the Angel where God’s Name is. When they see Him manifested in the One who eats the Book, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for.”
But He is not coming for them, He comes for His Church, for His Bride, because it is the time for the Bride-Church who died to be resurrected in eternal bodies; and for those who are alive to be transformed; but they will be impacted by the Coming of this Mighty Angel in His last manifestation; and that is where they will receive a blessing, like Jacob received. Which we will not say much about, to avoid interrupting what God has for them very soon, which, we will see that beginning, but we will have to go: we will have to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and we all want to be ready to go.
For which, when the Mighty Angel cries as when a lion roars and seven thunders (see how He comes as Lion?)… and seven thunders utter their voices; in other words, it is the Voice of Christ as Lion, as King, crying out, roaring. And when a lion roars no one understands, but they know there is danger; no one wants to stick around because there is danger; but there’s no problem because we are going to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where we will be safe.
The Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven crying as when a lion roars and seven thunders uttering their voices, is the Voice of Christ, of the Holy Spirit speaking. And that which He speaks is what mankind will hear through the veil of flesh where He will be manifested.
Where He becomes flesh, where He has a veil of flesh, or the veil of flesh that He has, the Voice of Christ will be there speaking to His Church first, and opening to Her the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of Revelation chapter 8, verse 1, which is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord, of the Coming of the Mighty Angel. And that will give the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured, to those who will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
That is where She is and where She receives —the Church that is going to be transformed and raptured— that is where She receives the faith, the revelation, for the transformation and rapture.
Just like around the First Coming of Christ, proclaimed in the Gospel of Christ, is the faith, the revelation, to receive the inner transformation (to receive Christ): by receiving Christ, and receiving His Sacrifice as the Sacrifice of Atonement for us, and being baptized in water in His Name, and receiving His Spirit. And thus we obtain salvation and Eternal Life, we obtain that inner transformation.
But for the physical transformation, that physical transformation is sealed within the Seventh Seal, it is within the Coming of the Lord to His Church.
And only by that mystery being opened by the Holy Spirit, through the veil of flesh that He has, will we know that mystery, believe it, and await our transformation.
Because He comes for our transformation and catching away to Heaven to go with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Everything revolves around that Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, everything revolves around the Coming of that Angel, which is the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in His heavenly body; which, in plain words, is the Holy Spirit; because a spirit is a body from another dimension.
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, He is the Angel of the Covenant, and well, there He comes down in Holy Spirit, that is, in a heavenly body.
May God bless you and keep you all.
“THE MIGHTY ANGEL WITH THE RAINBOW UPON HIS HEAD, SWEARING THAT TIME IS NO MORE.”
