Good evening, beloved friends and brethren, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this Last Day, in the final stage, the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.
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, under the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD.”
For this reason, let’s read in First Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16 and on… let’s see… 14 and on, so that we have a clearer picture; 14 to 16, of First Timothy; chapter 3, verse 14 to 16, it says:
“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject is: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD.”
We find that the mystery of God was manifested, revealed, in Christ Jesus.
Because the mystery of God is like the mystery of the human being; meaning, it is something parallel. The mystery of the human being is that the human being is soul, spirit, and body.
And now, we find the mystery of God as the eternal living Soul; and then, we find that mystery of God in His heavenly body, called the Angel of the Lord, in whom the Eternal Name of God is placed.
And then, under that mystery… because notice, in the Old Testament we find God as a mystery, who created the Heavens and the Earth.
The mystery of Creation is the mystery of God creating the universe, the… – everything: the Heavens and the Earth. But that Divine mystery, notice, was manifested through the Word that was with God and was God; and through Him, God created all things: “All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.”[1]
And all things were made by whom? By Him, the Word, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant. And for whom? For Him; because God is creating everything for Himself.[2]
And now, in God’s Program of Creation, notice, now we find God in the form of a Pillar of Fire; and then, in that Pillar of Fire and from that Pillar of Fire emerges a man, a heavenly body.
Through the Word that was with God and was God, who appears on different occasions (on some occasions in the form of a light and on other occasions in the form of a man, but from another dimension), through that Angel, the Angel of the Lord, the Heavens and the Earth were created by God.
And now, the mystery of Creation was where? In God manifested in His heavenly body.
That mystery has been understood… (since when, Miguel?) Even though it’s there in the Bible, but people didn’t understand that the Word that was with God is Jesus Christ in His heavenly body; they didn’t know that the body – that the Word is the heavenly body of God; they don’t know – or didn’t know that the Angel of the Lord is Christ in His heavenly body; and that is why it’s through Christ that God created all things.
Notice, through the apostle Saint Paul, God tells us the following… He already told us that God was manifested in the flesh. Now let’s see something else here about the mystery of God in Christ; it says:
[Hebrews 1:1] “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…”
It was through His Son Jesus Christ, who is Christ in His heavenly body.
Christ said: “I came forth from God, and I go back to God; I came forth from the Father, and I go back to the Father.”[3] See? Through Christ, He made the universe; and His Son Jesus Christ is the heir.
Notice…, and we have an invisible universe and a [visible] universe, an invisible world and a visible world.
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person…”
See? Who is the image of God? Christ in His heavenly body; because the heavenly body is the image, just like for all of us our heavenly body is our image.
And the physical likeness is the body of flesh of Jesus, where God dwelled in all His fullness. And our physical likeness is the body we have currently; and we are going to have a physical likeness just like Jesus Christ. And that physical likeness of Jesus Christ, which is His body but (currently) glorified, is the physical likeness of God.
That is to say, in the Millennial Kingdom and in eternity, we are going to be with God, God in His glorified body: the glorified body of Jesus Christ; but we will also be able to see Him in His heavenly body, because we also have a heavenly body; and since we are going to have a glorified physical body, then we will also be able to see Him in that glorified physical body.
Everything to which He is heir, we are also joint-heirs with Him.[4]
The entire Family of God, the sons and daughters of God, will have theophanic heavenly bodies and glorified physical bodies; and thus, we will all be in the image and likeness of God, of our heavenly Father.
“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.”
And now, we can see that it was through Christ that God created all things.
And now, in Colossians he (Saint Paul) also tells us… verse 12 and on [chapter 1]:
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by him were all things created…”
By whom were all things created? By Jesus Christ; because Jesus Christ in His heavenly body is the One who has all the fullness of God, and the one through whom God in all His fullness was manifested creating all things.
And He is the Firstborn of all Creation. Before the Heavens and the Earth existed; before angels, cherubims, seraphims existed; before planets and galaxies existed; there was the Word that was with God and was God.
[John 1:1] “In the beginning was the Word…”
When God made Himself visible: He made Himself visible through the Word. The invisible God makes Himself visible, and we see a form of God there.
From the Pillar of Fire emerges the theophanic heavenly body in the form of a man, of an Angel; and through that Man, God, being in that Man of the sixth dimension (called the Angel of the Lord, the Word), spoke all things into existence.
God’s thoughts go on to the Angel of the Lord, to the Word. All the Divine thoughts were placed in the Word.
And now, we find that the Word Itself and through the Word, God begins creating all things; because through the Angel of the Lord —the Word that was with God and was God— all things come into existence as they are spoken.
That is why the Word, the Word that was with God, is the One that creates all things; and they materialize first in the visible world and afterward He materializes them and makes them visible and tangible in this dimension of light, time, and matter.
But before galaxies existed physically and concretely, they existed in the spiritual world; “for things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”[5] That is why, notice, it says:
[Colossians 1:16] “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.”
And now, here it shows us that there are thrones, it shows us that there are powers, it shows us that there are principalities, dominions, and so on.
In other words, those powers and dominions in the invisible world exist; and therefore, later on they will materialize in the visible world, and they will manifest through the visible world on this Earth.
That is why we can see, throughout the history of the human being, the influence that the invisible world has had on the human race; and we can see both powers: the power of God and the perverted power of the devil, which is God’s power that the devil perverted.
And now, we find those two powers manifested in the midst of the human race, ever since God placed the human being on Earth; and the human race has been influenced by those two powers, and has been influenced by those two invisible worlds.
And now, in those invisible worlds, we find that there are powers, principalities. If there are principalities, there are beings of the invisible world who hold a position of princes; there are others who hold a position of… powers, they have certain powers; there are those who have dominions, certain dominions.
It’s like in a country: there are those who have certain power, whether over… Let’s say, in government, for example, the secretaries of certain branches of a country… of Agriculture: well, the one in charge would be the Secretary of Agriculture… in some countries he might be called the Secretary of Agriculture or Secretary of Finance; in other countries he is called a minister of… they’re ministers. So, they have powers over that, what they have been put in charge of.
And if you search in the book of Revelation, notice… (just a moment here, quickly, so you can see. In a moment I’ll give you the…) Revelation, chapter 16, says… let’s start from verse 4 of Revelation 16; it says:
“And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.”
Who said that? The Angel of the waters. See?
Now, we also find… That is just that passage. Let’s see another Angel: in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 17; it says:
“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.”
Here we have another Angel.
And now, we find that in the kingdom of darkness… Notice, Saint Paul tells us that the prince of the air is (who?) the devil;[6] he also is prince of darkness; and he also is the prince of this world,[7] of this world: over the kingdoms of the world.
But soon Christ will be the literal Prince of the kingdoms of this world; and this is under the Seventh Trumpet, once the Seventh Trumpet has sounded. That’s in Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on; it says:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
Now notice, once the Seventh Trumpet has been sounded, then the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, His Anointed One.
Reverend William Branham, speaking to us here about this Seventh Trumpet, tells us that… who is it? Who is the one that sounds that Trumpet? In the book of Quotations, page 128, let’s see what he tells us here; page 128, paragraph 1143,[8] he says:
1143 – “[155] Under the Seventh Trumpet, is to Israel the same as the Seventh Seal was to the Church.”
Then – let’s see another place, where he says… Page 129, paragraph 1150,[9] says [Quotations]:
1150 – “[270] Now, as soon as this Church (the Bride) is drawed together, She is taken up; and that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery of going. And the Jews is called by the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet, which is two prophets, Elijah and Moses.”
Who sounds the Seventh Trumpet? Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees.
And now, we find that the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ when the Seventh Trumpet has sounded, when the Two Olive Trees have given their Message. That’s the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet.
Once they have given their Message to the Hebrew people, then it is already the time when the 144,000 are called and gathered, and the judgment of the great tribulation comes; and then the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now we can see who sounds that Seventh Trumpet, of those seven Trumpets that appear there in the book of Revelation.
And now, we find that the Spirit of God is the One who works through the ministries He has given in the Old Testament and the ones He has given in the New Testament.
When God spoke by the prophets, notice, it was God through His Spirit. That’s in Zechariah, chapter 7, verse 11 to 12; it 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: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.”
And now, through His Spirit, God spoke to the Hebrew people, by the prophets; God through the Angel of the Lord, through His heavenly body.
That is the theophanic Spirit of God, the theophanic body of God, called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant.
Remember that the spirit of a person is a spiritual body, similar to the body of a human being but of another dimension.
And the Spirit of God is the heavenly theophanic body of God, called the Angel of the Lord. That is why, notice, God through His heavenly body, called the Angel of the Lord, spoke by the prophets; it was the Angel of the Lord, in whom God was manifesting Himself and speaking to the prophets.
That is why in Ezekiel, chapter 9, a Man appears clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by His side, to seal on their foreheads those who cried out to God.
Now we can see who the Holy Spirit is, and, therefore, who God in His heavenly body, called the Angel of the Lord, is.
Now, notice how the mystery of God starts to unfold.
Before, God existed alone and there was no one else. But after God…
What was God doing before? Anyone may think or say: “Well, He wasn’t doing anything.” You know what He was doing? Making His Program.
And now, we find that a Light comes forth from God, our Brother Branham says: “A little white Light.”[10] And that was the first of God that was seen, and was visible. That is the Logos, which came forth from God.
And notice, from there It began to take shape in the form of a body; and that is the Angel of the Lord, the Word that was with God. And God dwelled there in all His fullness, and being in that body He has created all things.
And then, notice, through His heavenly body, He manifested Himself and delivered the Hebrew people. The Angel of the Lord (in whom God was in all His fullness, and in whom the Name of God was) anointed Moses; Moses was anointed with the Pillar of Fire; and through Moses, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested Himself and delivered the Hebrew people.
Notice, God using human bodies, because He didn’t have a physical body of flesh yet.
But when the fullness of the time had come, God in His heavenly body created a cell of life in the body – in the womb of Mary, which multiplied cell after cell, and thus, the body of Jesus was formed (which was born in Bethlehem of Judea through the virgin Mary); and God in His heavenly body dwelled in that body of flesh. And there was God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; because in Jesus Christ dwelled the fullness of the Godhead.
And now, there we already have the mystery of God revealed in human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ; and there, in Jesus Christ, we have a trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Did you see the mystery of the trinity? Simple.
And now, the mystery of the trinity of the human being is the same way; because the human being is a triune being: soul, spirit, and body. A spiritual body, which is the spirit of the person, similar to the physical body but from another dimension; and a physical body, which is the body of flesh. But the human being is a living soul; that is the greatest thing in the human being.
And the greatest thing there was in Jesus Christ was what? – Who was it? The Father, God. That is why Christ said: “The Father, who is (what?) greater than I.”[11]
And now we can see the mystery of God revealed in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
In the First Coming of Christ the mystery of God was revealed in human flesh, but without sin. When I say “human flesh,” that’s because it has… it’s flesh, like ours, tangible; but it was by Divine creation.
Therefore, we find that He is the second Adam, without – a man without sin; therefore, that body of flesh was without death, it could keep living for all eternity.
Christ said: “No man takes My life from Me, I lay it down of Myself to take it again.”[12] And He also said: “Unless the Corn of Wheat falls into the ground and dies, It abides alone; but if It falls into the ground and dies, It brings forth much fruit.” That is there around Saint John, chapter 12, verse 24 (right, Miguel?).
Now, we find that God becomes a man: God comes in the midst of the human race, in the midst of visible creation, and becomes visible too.
The Angel of the Lord, the same One who appeared to Moses, the same One who delivered the Hebrew people through Moses, and the same One who used the leader Joshua as well. And He also appeared to Joshua: in the form of a Prince with a Sword in His hand, who is the Captain of the Hosts of the Lord,[13] who is Jesus Christ in His heavenly body in the Old Testament.
And the Captain of the Hosts of the Lord became a man in this earthly dimension, and we knew Him by the name of Jesus Christ. That is why He is the Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace; He is the Captain of the Hosts of God.
And now, we find that the Captain of the Hosts of God is the Holy Spirit; and the Lord is the Spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ is then made man, He is made flesh, in this earthly dimension; and in Him is the Holy Spirit and also the Father (God, the eternal God, the eternal Soul), and in Him is the Word, the heavenly body of God.
And now, we can see: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD.” And did you see how simple it is?
Now, in the New Testament, the mystery of Jesus Christ is being manifested.
And it looks like our time is up. On another occasion, Miguel, I think we will talk about the mystery of Jesus Christ.
In the First Coming of Christ, the mystery of God was veiled and revealed through human flesh: in the person of Jesus Christ our Savior.
But God had temporarily, and not in all His fullness, manifested Himself in men like Adam, Seth, also Abel, and other men, other prophets of God, until John the Baptist came; and then He became flesh: He created a body for Himself, and dwelled in that body in all His fullness.
Therefore, it was the manifestation of God in all His fullness; therefore, it was the full revelation of God in human flesh; because the mystery of God is Jesus Christ our Savior, in whom God dwelled in all His fullness.
And now, the mystery of God in Christ, then goes into the New Testament; so that He —Christ, as the mystery of God— would then reveal God in His Church, from stage to stage, temporarily, and fully reveal the mystery of God at the Last Day.
He has used… Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, has used different messengers: the apostles and the angel-messengers of the seven ages; and at the Last Day, He will also have an instrument: and there, the mystery of Christ will be veiled and revealed in His Church, in the midst of the people of God.
And that is how Christ, notice, has come veiling and revealing Himself in the midst of His Church: through His messengers.
The Spirit of Christ has been in the midst of His Church; and the presence of Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, as well as the way He has been veiled and revealed, has been a mystery.
It was already made known how He was veiled and revealed in past ages; and the remaining part of the mystery is how He would be veiled and revealed at this end time; which He will do to such an extent that It will come to be the fullness of Christ in the midst of His Church, veiled and revealed in human flesh.
And that will be what Reverend William Branham said on page 134 of the book of The Seals [“The First Seal,” p. 40]:
“302 Glory! Notice! 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].”
We have the promise: that the Holy Spirit will become incarnate.
Now, what will the fulfillment of this promise be like? Page 146 of the book of The Seals also says… the last paragraph, and the last… the last part of the last paragraph, says [“The First Seal,” p. 53]:
“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 doesn’t say that He comes in the glorified body of Jesus Christ, but that He comes incarnate in a man.
Page 352 of the book of The Seals says [“The Sixth Seal,” pp. 25-26]:
“[201] Then, here they come out… (meaning, he’s speaking of… here he’s speaking of the enemy, and also of God)…”
Now, it says:
“[200] … a Seal opened, revealed; a trumpet sound, war declared, and away they go. And then the messenger dies. He seals away this group; they’re put in. And a plague falls upon those who rejected It. See?
201 Then it goes on, then they organize, get another organization. We’ve just come through it. Then, here they come out with another power, see, another power, another age of the church, another ministry. Then, when he does that, along comes God with His ministry, when the antichrist comes with his. See, anti is ‘against.’ They run side by side.
202 I want you to notice a little something. Just about the time that—that Cain come on earth, Abel came on earth. I want you to notice, just about the time that—that Christ came on earth, Judas came on earth. About the time that Christ went off of earth, Judas went off the earth. Just about the time that the—the Holy Spirit fell, the antichrist spirit fell. Just about the time the Holy Ghost is revealing Himself here in the last days, the antichrist is showing his colors, coming up through his politics and things. And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the—on the scene, God moves Hisself fully on to redeem it all. 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 now, what is that manifestation of Christ in all His fullness for? It says:
“[202] And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the—on the scene, God moves Hisself fully on to redeem it all (it is the redemption of the body, which is our transformation).”
And where is all that hidden? Within the Seventh Seal.
And now, on page 256, it says [“The Fourth Seal,” p. 25]:
“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.”
If we find that man, well, we will have found the instrument where the Holy Spirit will be incarnate and manifested to do what is promised to be done —by Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church at this end time— through a veil of flesh.
And now, since this is a promise, then it has to be according to the Scripture: “God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets to His servants, His prophets;”[14] therefore, it has to be through a prophet.
And since God was manifested in flesh in all His fullness in a prophet, and Jesus was a dispensational prophet: Christ must be manifested in flesh at the Last Day, in all His fullness, in a dispensational prophet.
Because all the other prophets already had their time: the rest of the dispensational prophets already had their time, and the other Old Testament prophets as well, and the angel-messengers of the ages too; therefore, only one spirit of a prophet remains to be manifested on Earth in human flesh, and to have the ministry of the Last Day, and for Christ in Holy Spirit to veil Himself and reveal Himself through that prophet, in human flesh, and to carry out His Program relevant to this end time. And that will be the Word, the Word made flesh in the midst of His Church.
And when the Hebrews see that in the full manifestation, which will be when the squeeze comes down… where what was seen partially manifested by the Holy Spirit in Reverend William Branham, carrying out five…. five important things that Reverend William Branham set as an example, as a sample, of what Christ will do when the squeeze comes down.
Although God did many other things through our Brother Branham, five samples are enough; where he says: “I have seen the mighty hand of God manifested five times.”
And he lists those five times:
- For example, (one of them) when he stopped the storm[15] by the spoken Word.
Notice, all of them are like that… all of them were by speaking the Word.
- When he spoke the squirrels into existence[16] on different occasions, that was the Word being spoken.
- When He spoke salvation for the sons of a sister[17] who spoke the right word when our Brother Branham was speaking with his friends in the house of this sister, and he was speaking about the creation of the squirrels, and she said: “That’s nothing but the truth.”
And the Holy Spirit told our Brother Branham: “Tell her to ask what she wills and it’ll be granted to her.”
And after being unsure of what to ask for, she then asked for what she most desired in her soul: the salvation of her sons; she asked, not based on her senses, but based on what she desired in her soul. And now, her petition was also granted.
- Then, another occasion was when the wife[18] of our Brother Branham had a tumor in one of her ovaries, which was growing a lot, and she was going to be operated on.
And our Brother Branham was… She was supposed to have the operation in Tucson, Arizona, and on that occasion our Brother Branham was in Jeffersonville, Indiana (which is many, many hours away; even by plane it takes many hours).
Then, our Brother Branham prayed at night that everything would go well the next day. He thought she was going to be operated on (because everything was ready), and so was she.
But while he (our Brother Branham) was praying for her, and asking Him to have mercy on her, the Angel told him to speak the Word; whatever he said would happen, whatever he said for her, in her favor: “Ask for whatever you want, say whatever you want, and that’s the way it’ll be.”
And he said: “Let it dissolve before the doctor puts his hand on the place where the tumor is.”
And in the morning, when she was taken to the operating room, and when the doctor arrives… or when the doctor is about to arrive, she feels like a warm sensation in that area, something strange, and that was it; but when the doctor goes and places his hand, he doesn’t find anything there.
We should see exactly how he narrates it; because, very likely, the doctor was already there to raise back the sheet and touch the area.
Now, before the doctor put his hand on the place where the tumor was, it disappeared; she felt like a warmth sensation come in and out; and he had already spoken it at night.
That spoken Word was materialized in that moment; because it was the creative Word of God placed in the mouth of a prophet, where God always places His Word: in the mouth of His prophets. Therefore, he was speaking anointed with the Holy Spirit; it was the creative Word speaking that tumor out of existence.
How many are left, Miguel? One? [Bro. Miguel: I think…the one of the little fish.]
- The one of the little fish.[19]
Do you know that one is the greatest of them all? And yet it’s the smallest! It seems the smallest, and yet it’s the greatest of all.
Christ said: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”[20]
And when, in Saint Matthew, chapter 13, verses 47 to 50, Christ shows what it will be like at the end time, He says that… Let’s read it here, so that you have it exactly as it was said by Jesus. Chapter 13, verses 47 to 50, of Saint Matthew, says:
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
And now notice how He shows mankind (including the good and the bad) represented in fish, good fish and bad fish; and He shows the Angels of the Son of Man to carry out that work at the end time.
“So shall it be (in) the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just.”
Now, since human beings are represented in fish… and the nations, peoples, and tongues are the many waters, where we find the people, the fish.
And now, in that little fish that was caught…
God had told our Brother Branham: “Today God’s glory will be manifested, you are going to see God’s glory manifested!” Perhaps many people that he told… because he told them: “Today God’s glory is going to be manifested,” everyone was expecting to see something great, everyone was prepared; and maybe our Brother Branham… well he didn’t know how God’s glory was going to be manifested.
And God’s glory was going to be manifested to set a type and figure of what God is going to do at this end time.
And all five of those major events we’ve mentioned (including the one of the little fish) are the type and figure, the symbolism, of what God is going to do at this end time:
- Stopping the storm: that is power over nature.
- Stopping or dissolving or bringing a tumor out of existence: that is power over all the devil’s power, over diseases and over everything the devil has put in human beings.
- Speaking squirrels into creation: it is the creative power of God to bring into existence things that are going to be brought into existence. If He can create squirrels, He can create an arm that a person needs, or create eyes, and so on, sight.
Now, He can also create other things that need to be created in those days.
Also, given that he spoke a tumor out of existence, He will speak the kingdom of the antichrist out of existence. “If you say unto this mountain: Move from here to there, it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible.”[21]
“If you say”; not “if you pray and ask,” but “if you say.” That talks to us about the creative Word being placed in the mouth of a man.
- Now, the little fish.
Given that Christianity is represented in fish, and the Christian Era is represented in the Age of Piscis… that is why Christ said: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
In the catacombs, they also drew fish, fish that represent Christians.
And now, when our Brother Branham tells those who were going… who were going with – going fishing with him; because our Brother Branham had boats, and he was a fisherman and he had his own boat, and he was also a hunter.
Now notice, great things happened while he was hunting: the creation of the squirrels; the storm being spoken out of existence, bringing it out of existence. And also, later, speaking in the house of the sister whose sons were saved, he was talking about what had happened while our Brother Branham was hunting.
And now, within his sport of fishing, now we find that the greatest miracle is going to be manifested, in the smallest way; because the greater the things that God is going to do, the simpler He carries them out. That is God in simplicity.
Now, we find that everyone was waiting, they were anticipating to see God’s glory manifested.
And they were fishing; and one of the brothers who was in our Brother Branham’s boat, caught… he pulled out his fishing hook, and it caught such a tiny fish that when he took the hook out, what came out was also its (let’s say) belly or… in other words, he couldn’t get the hook out, and everything came out.
And then, well (as we would usually say): “This is your end,” or “Your time is up”; because if all of that had come out, it couldn’t live anymore.
And the one who caught it wasn’t going to take it home and put it in a pan, and have his wife see it and say: “What a huge fish you brought home! We can feed the whole family with that alone, and still have leftovers!”
Well, he throws it back into the water, already dead, and our Brother Branham sees that it’s dead there (he also heard the brother’s comment), and they continue fishing —but waiting to see God’s glory manifested— and suddenly they see the little fish again; and our Brother Branham remembers that it was the little fish that they had pulled out, but thrown back into the water because it was dead and it was also very small.
And now, the Holy Spirit tells him… It had been dead for about half an hour on the… floating on the water; and the Holy Spirit tells him to speak the Word of life to that little fish.
And our Brother Branham stands up, speaks the Word: “Little fishy, I give you your life!” And the little fish resurrected; and they saw it resurrected swimming around, and it left. And that was God’s glory manifested.
And now, let’s see what is indicated to happen under the Third Pull, when the time of the squeeze comes.
The squeeze is bad on one hand, but on the other hand it’s good. From God’s end, it’s good, because God will manifest Himself in all His fullness; but it is bad because the devil will be trying to destroy the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The devil will come in his fullness, but Christ will come in all His fullness as well; that will be where the fullness of Christ will be working great wonders and signs at this end time.
And let’s see the materialization of the little fish being resurrected, let’s look at what will be the fulfillment of this promise will be like: 166 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 1476, it says[22]:
1476 – “[26] … if He’s interested to speak the Word of life into a little insignificant fish laying there dead, on the water for a half hour, He can certainly someday speak Life into His children. No matter if your body be no more than a spoonful of dust, He’ll speak, and we’ll answer Him someday.”
There we have the order for the resurrection of the dead in Christ. And I cannot explain much there, because I would get into a field that shouldn’t be opened, so that it is not imitated.
So, we are going to leave that alone there so that God works the moment He wants to work, when the number of God’s elect in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ has been completed.
It will be at the time when the mystery of Christ in His Church will be manifested in all His fullness, the Holy Spirit coming in human flesh at the Last Day.
The Holy Spirit that has been in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, will be in human flesh. “When this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate…” See? When He comes to have a body of flesh.
Now, He has had bodies of flesh temporarily: each angel-messenger of each age, just as the Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament had temporary bodies of flesh, which were the prophets in whom He manifested Himself and through whom He spoke and worked.
And now, after that trajectory of the Old Testament, then He became flesh in Jesus of Nazareth, it was God made flesh in the midst of His people.
For the Last Day, Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in human flesh in the midst of His Church; and then the Tent Vision, and the miracles and signs, and also the altar calls that were seen there, all of that will become a reality at that time. But that will be a time of squeeze as well.
Now, our Brother Branham says that when that time comes, the Door will already be closed; when that time of great miracles and wonders comes, the Door will already be shut; but there has to be a ministry manifesting itself at that time.
Page 114 of the book of Quotations, he tells us in paragraph 1002[23]:
1002 – “[205] … and there’s got to be a ministry preached to her. But remember, at that time, it’s all over. It’s done. It’s just a haunting.
206 There will be a ministry that will show great wonders, Joel said so, but there’ll be no time for redemption. It’s all over. The Lamb has done took His Book, and His redeemed is over. As Jesus first preached and was rejected, and then went and haunted those that were in there, preached to them that were in prison, could not repent, no time for salvation, that same ministry will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull? to the Eternal lost.”
And now, page 119, paragraph 1057, says… at the end, to avoid reading too much, it says… we should even read a bit before that here; it says [Quotations][24]:
“1057 – “[39] … right at this time now it’s just happened…”
Let’s read from the beginning:
“1057 – “[38] … the thing that we have looked forward to for so long (for at least many years, four or five years, or maybe longer), the Third Pull, has now been vindicated, and I’m sure you all know what it is.
39 Now remember, there’ll never be an impersonation of that, ’cause it can’t be, see, it cannot be. Now, it’s in existent, and I have…I am warned of this, that soon…right at this time now, it’s just happened so it could identify its presence among you, see, but it will not be used in a great way until this Council begins to tighten up, and when it does, when that does, the Pentecostals, and so forth, can almost impersonate anything can be done, but when that time comes, when the squeeze comes down, then you’ll see what you’ve seen temporarily, be manifested in the fulness of its power. (…)
40 Now I must continue in evangelism.”
And now, further down, he says… referring to the Third Pull, he says:
1057 – “[42] The Third is properly identified. See? We know where it is. So, the Third Pull is here.
43 It is so sacred, that, I mustn’t say much about it. As He told me in the beginning, said, ‘This, say nothing of it.’”
And now, where was the Third Pull? It was in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the relevant age, in the relevant stage, and in the relevant messenger. But that stage already ended and the messenger left.
We have to see where that stage will be at the Last Day, where the great miracles, wonders, and signs will take place.
On page 136… Later we’ll continue with this one from 119, we’ll continue later on. Let’s see, page 136, paragraph 1208, says (when they ask him) [Quotations][25]:
1208 – “[186] [Question 253] Will the Bride—will the Bride before Jesus comes, will She have all power of Holy Ghost to perform miracles, raise dead, and so on as in the latter rain—or is this the latter rain for the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews? Will all ministers have this, are we, or, are we just waiting for the coming?”
That was the question, and now he answers:
1208 – “197 Now, latter rain, a hundred and forty-four thousand Jews, no, that isn’t…that…they won’t…that’s—that’s when Elijah and Moses…There’s where the miracles take place (because that is where, with those ministries of Moses and Elijah, the Holy Spirit will be made flesh, and will be manifesting the fullness of God’s power). The things that the people’s been looking for, the Pentecostals, for miracles, that’s where that’ll take place in that, under them. See, that’s Elijah’s and Moses’. (…)
198 We’re just to wait on the Coming of the Lord.”
And now, let’s see another passage. We have seen… Let’s continue here, on the Third Pull, on page 119.
We saw that on page 114 he says that there will be a ministry that will show great wonders, signs, and miracles; and now, on page 136 he says that’s under Moses and Elijah; the miracles, wonders, and signs that are seen in the Tent Vision, all of that is under the ministry of Moses and Elijah; those are the ministries that will be manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day, the Angel who comes with the Seal of the living God, who comes with the Holy Spirit; because the Holy Spirit, our Brother Branham says: “The Holy Spirit that we have, will be manifested in flesh,” meaning, He will come in human flesh.
That’s page 134 of the book of The Seals, which I read to you some moments ago [“The First Seal,” p. 40].
“302 Glory! Notice! 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].”
Therefore, the fullness of the Holy Spirit will come in human flesh at the Last Day, and will fulfill the Third Pull, and will fulfill all those miracles that are promised. And the five times that the mighty hand of God was seen being manifested, which Reverend William Branham indicated, will be, what was the type and figure, what was the sample of what God will do, we will see it in all Its fullness and in the fullness of Its power, and without limitations. He says [Quotations, p. 119: 63-1229E – “Look Away To Jesus,” pp. 5-7]:
1057 – “[43] It speaks for itself. See? But you…I’ve tried to explain the others, and I made a mistake. This will be the thing, that, to my opinion…I don’t say the Lord tells me this. This will be a thing that will start the Rapturing faith, for the going away.”
Now, notice what is the Rapture linked to? To this manifestation of the Holy Spirit, to this manifestation of the Third Pull, which corresponds to the Two Olive Trees and the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, in this dispensational overlap, where the Dispensation of the Kingdom overlaps with the Dispensation of Grace.
1057 – “44 I must lay quiet for just a little while. Now remember, and who is listening to this tape, you might see such a change in my ministry right away, dropping back, not going up; dropping back. We’re right at the age now, and it can’t be, can’t go any further. We have to wait just a minute until this happens over here, to catch up (…).
[49] And then when that time comes, and the press comes to a place to where you’re pressed out, then watch what I’m fixing to tell you in a few minutes. Watch the Third Pull then, see, and it’ll be absolutely to the total lost, but it—it will be for the Bride and the Church (like Christ manifesting the Third Pull).”
And now, paragraph 1058 says, of this same page 119… page 119, paragraph 1058, says[26]:
1058 – “[50] I may be building a platform for somebody else to step on.”
Just like John the Baptist built a platform, that is, he prepared the way for the One who would come after him.
1058 – “[50] I may be taken before that time. (…)
51 But I do believe, that we are so close, that I would never die with old age. Yet, at fifty-four years old, I’ll never die with old age, until He’s here. See? Unless I’m shot, killed, or something other, some way killed, just old age wouldn’t kill me, until He’s come. (…)
[52] I may not do it, but this Message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world.”
If this Message is going to introduce Him to the world, He will be using that Message to present Himself, and he will be using the whole Bible to present Himself.
1058 – “[52] … but this Message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world. For, ‘As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the Message to forerun the second Coming.’ And John said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.’ See? So, it’s, it paralleled it in every way. And I know it will.”
So, the Message will be pointing to who is the one that will come after him; and through the Message he will identify himself.
Now, let’s see another place. I’m going to look at a very important place here… I’m going to check if it’s page 128. Page 128, paragraph 1140, says [Quotations][27]:
1140 – “112 Go into the prophet’s chamber and watch them seven steps. Where did the—where did the guard meet the challenge to bring the comer into the presence of the king? At the top of the steps (this was a question here); was in the seventh step. There shows that we’ve got to come again with that same Spirit that was on John.”
Notice, “in the seventh step”: John the Baptist back then (and…), forerunner of the First Coming of Christ; and the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ in the seventh step.
1140 – “[112] … he introduced the Messiah. He was greater than all the prophets; he introduced It. And we’ve got to come to a place, again, to something that’s going to introduce the Messiah.
113 And how will the Messiah…the people that’s believing Him know it unless they’re constantly in the Word, to know what He is!”
In other words, he has to remain in the Word at all times; he can’t be saying something of his own accord.
That is how Jesus was. Everything He spoke, He spoke according to the Word, and He said: “It is written.” And He said: “Moses wrote of Me. If you had believed Moses, you would have believed Me, for Moses spoke of Me.”[28]
So, for this time, God must fulfill what was promised.
Notice, when John the Baptist was imprisoned, he was very worried, and he sent people to ask Jesus if He was the one who was to come or if they were to wait for someone else.
Jesus sent word to him through His apostles about what was happening; that is, He showed him what God was doing. How did He show it to him? By doing the things, by doing what the Messiah was promised to do at that time.
And He told them: “Go to John and say what you have seen. Tell John that the blind see, the lame walk, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them.”[29] Those were the things Jesus was doing, and they were the things that the Messiah was promised to do in His First Coming.
But John – therefore, John, as the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, had to know the things that the Messiah had to do.
And the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, as His forerunner, has to know – had to know the things that the One coming after him would be doing; therefore, he spoke to them, he showed the things that the One coming after him would be doing.
Now, if Jesus wasn’t the Messiah, then John the Baptist had made a serious mistake: he had presented Jesus as the Messiah when Jesus wasn’t the Messiah; therefore, John wasn’t the forerunner either, because he hadn’t presented the One who would come after him, because he hadn’t identified Him with His Message.
The Message of John – when he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John with his Message identified the One who would come after him: “This is the One whom I said would come after me.”[30]
And now, Reverend William Branham with His Message identifies who is the one that will come after him, and how the faith for the rapture will be received, and where the faith for the rapture is.
Many people may say: “I believe Brother Branham’s messages and I have the faith to be raptured.” The faith for the rapture is given by the Thunders, and what the Thunders reveal is the Seventh Seal, and the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ.
Just like the mystery of God is revealed in the First Coming of Christ, the mystery of God is revealed in the Second Coming of Christ, to be veiled and revealed in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; for the mystery of God to be completed, for the mystery of God to be finished.
In the First and Second Coming of Christ is where the entire mystery of God is fulfilled. And in the Second Coming of Christ, the mystery of God is completed, the mystery of God is finished.
On page 365 and 366 of the book The Ages, Reverend William Branham says, speaking of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, he says [“The Laodicean Church Age,” p. 326]:
“Though he will not be popular, he will be vindicated by God. As Jesus authenticated John, and the Holy Ghost authenticated Jesus, we can well expect this man will be first of all authenticated by the Spirit working in his life in acts of power that are indisputable and found nowhere else; and Jesus Himself, in returning, will authenticate him, even as He authenticated John. John witnessed that Jesus was coming, — and so will this man, like John, witness that Jesus is coming. And the very return of Christ will prove that this man indeed was the forerunner of His second coming. This is the final evidence that this indeed is the prophet of Malachi 4, for the end of the Gentile period will be Jesus, Himself, appearing. Then it will be too late for those who have rejected him.”
The final vindication will be the Second Coming of Christ, and that is how the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ will be vindicated.
And just as Christ vindicated John, the Second Coming of Christ, Christ in His Second Coming, will vindicate that William Branham was His forerunner.
Now, notice what will be the final vindication that Reverend William Branham is the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, where Christ will fulfill His entire Program; and where, when the squeeze comes down, He will resurrect the dead believers in Him and He will transform us.
And now, we have seen “THE MYSTERY OF GOD,” which was hidden in Christ our Savior.
And the mystery of God has two very important parts: the first part in His First Coming and the second part in His Second Coming.
And now, the mystery of God in Christ, and then the mystery of Christ in His Church, because God in Christ is in the midst of His Church.
That is the mystery that revolves around the Seventh Seal; a mystery that caused silence in Heaven for about half an hour,[31] because no one knew that mystery. But when it was opened, that mystery was opened there before everyone in Heaven; and they kept quiet so that God’s Program wouldn’t be interrupted, so that the devil wouldn’t find out, wouldn’t know that mystery.
Therefore, that mystery is to be known by the elect of God; to whom it is promised that at the end time the Seventh Seal will be revealed through the Seven Thunders of Revelation.
And that will give the faith to the elect of God, to the members of the Church of Jesus Christ, it will give them the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Reverend William Branham calls that “the faith for the rapture”; which is the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And all of that is within the mystery of God to be revealed at this end time.
Under the mystery of God in the First Coming of Christ there was a resurrection of the dead in Christ, and there was also a rapture, a catching away, of the Old Testament saints and of Jesus Christ our Savior; therefore, there will be a resurrection of the dead in Christ, a transformation of us who are alive, and a rapture or catching away to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. All of this is within the mystery of God.
And now, we have seen THE MYSTERY OF GOD in Christ our Savior; because God works through the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who is Christ in His heavenly body. And when He worked: He used veils of flesh, which were the Old Testament prophets; and then He became flesh in all His fullness.
By the Last Day, we find that He has already worked through the apostles and the seven angel-messengers; and at the Last Day He will be working through the last prophet-messenger, who will have to do with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and then with the Hebrew people, because he is a dispensational prophet, who is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why Reverend William Branham, on page 301 and 302 of the book The Seals, says [“The Fifth Seal,” pp. 24-25]:
“202 And then according to the—the time that God was going to deliver the antediluvian world, He sent the eagle.
And time He was going to deliver Israel, He sent the eagle.
203 Do you believe that the time, even on John, on the isle of Patmos, this Message was so perfect that He couldn’t trust It with an Angel? You know, an angel is a messenger. But do you know the messenger was a prophet? You believe that? Let’s prove it. Revelation 22, let’s see if it was a eagle. Yeah. See, he was a…Sure, he was an angel, he’s the messenger, but it was a prophet that revealed this whole Book of Revelation to him. (…)
[205] …I John saw these things, and heard them. (…)
…And when I…heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed these things, which showed me these things.
207 And, ‘he,’ then, ‘the angel,’ see.
Then said he to me, See thou do it not:…
208 No true prophet would be worshipped, or messenger of any kind, see. (…)
… for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book: worship God. [Revelation 22:8-9]
209 See? Now, the Book was so important, that, It is the Word of God. Now watch. And when the Word of God is brought forth, It’s got to be brought by the prophet, because that’s who the Word of God comes to.”
And if it is known that the revealed Word for the Church, making known to Her the mystery of the Seventh Seal, is promised to come through the Seven Thunders, then there has to be a prophet to whom that Word will come so that he makes It known to the people.
In the unedited book of The Ages, on page 15, Reverend William Branham says, speaking about the Angel of Jesus Christ, he says all these things we’ve already read; but he says something here, he says… he says[32]:
“[109] 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.
110 And John, being an apostle, look at the nature of the rest of his epistles, prove that it wasn’t John wrote it, because it has no nature like John. Take First John, Second John, so forth, and read it. And look at the nature of that (meaning, he’s referring to the literary style: the writing style), then look at the nature of this. John was a writer and was an apostle, but this is the spirit of a prophet (that is, a heavenly body of a prophet, who gave John the revelation of the book of Revelation).”
If it is a spirit of a prophet, it must become flesh in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; but it has been in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ the entire time.
It was in the days of John the apostle, giving him the revelation of Revelation, the revelation of Christ, and how Christ would be veiled and revealed in His Church from age to age, and how He would work in the midst of His Church. All of that is contained in the book of Revelation, in those apocalyptic symbols.
Now, we have seen that this Angel of Jesus Christ is a prophet. And he is the only one who didn’t come in human flesh in past ages; but he must come in human flesh, just as the seven spirits of God that are before the Throne of God in Revelation, chapter 4 and chapter 5, came in human flesh.
Chapter 4 of Revelation says, verse 5… verses 4 to 5, says:
“And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”
God makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.[33]
Here they are as seven lamps of fire; and those are none other than the seven angel-messengers of the seven ages, in which Christ is manifested from age to age; the Spirit of Christ in those messengers of the different ages.
In Proverbs, chapter 20, verse 27, it also tells us something; it says:
“The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord.”
And now, the seven spirits, notice, appear as seven lamps. And the spirit of man is the spiritual body.
If he isn’t a believer, well, he is a spirit – a spiritual body of the fifth dimension, the same kind of body where… which those who were disobedient in the time of Noah were in, to whom Christ preached when He was there in hell.[34] But if he is a born-again believer, then he has a heavenly body, a spirit of the sixth dimension.
“And the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord.” That is why he can appear in the form of a flame of fire or in the form of a physical body; just as the Angel of the Lord appeared: He appeared in a Flame of Fire, in a Pillar of Fire, in the Old Testament, but He also appeared in the form of a Man, an Angel, of the sixth dimension.
And now, angels are ministering spirits: “He makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.”
And now, we find that in Revelation, chapter 11, the Two Olives Trees are also the Two Candlesticks that stand before the presence of God.
And now, since the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ who gave the revelation to John is a spirit of a prophet, that spirit of a prophet has to manifest itself in human flesh, just as the other spirits of the seven angel-messengers were manifested. That is why they appear in the cloud[35] that was formed by the angels. The seven angel-messengers appear and an Angel who was different from the rest appears; they appear in heavenly bodies.
Now, the most important was the One who was different from the rest, because He is the One with the Seventh Seal, He is the One who has the mystery of the Seventh Seal, He is the One who has the mystery of Christ to be revealed at the Last Day.
Just like the mystery of God was veiled and revealed in Christ, the mystery of Christ at the Last Day will be veiled and revealed in His Angel-Messenger.
Now, that mystery is the mystery because of which there was silence in Heaven, that mystery is the one that wasn’t known by anyone and that caused silence in Heaven.
Now, that mystery isn’t completely opened in full detail, so that it doesn’t become impersonated and there aren’t any impersonations in terms of what Christ will be carrying out under that mystery of the Seventh Seal.
We have to remember that the Angel of Jesus Christ isn’t Jesus Christ; he is only an instrument of Christ, like the seven angel-messengers of the seven ages were and like the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ were.
Although he is a major messenger, because he is a dispensational messenger, but he isn’t the Lord Jesus Christ; that’s why he didn’t accept the worship that John wanted to offer him.[36]
But in that prophet-messenger, Christ in Holy Spirit will be veiled and revealed at the Last Day, just as He was veiled and revealed in each angel-messenger of each age, through whom He called and gathered the elect of each age into the Mystical Body of Christ.
And at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ, Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger will be calling and gathering His elect of the Last Day with the Great Voice of the Trumpet or Last Trumpet.
With that Last Trumpet, He will call and gather the elect of the Church; and with that Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, He will call and gather the elect of the Hebrew people.
What the Seventh Trumpet is to the Hebrew people (which are Moses and Elijah), is the Seventh Seal to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And all of that comes veiled and revealed in human flesh. And that will be the Holy Spirit coming in human flesh at the Last Day, under the mystery of God in Christ and through Christ in the midst of the Church, manifesting Himself as He has promised.
Now, it will be Christ in His Church under the mystery of God for the Last Day. Because the mystery of God is Christ; therefore, it must be Christ manifested at the Last Day. It can’t be any other way.
Therefore, the mystery of God two thousand years ago came veiled and revealed in Christ, our Savior, in human flesh; and the mystery of God for the Last Day will come manifested in Christ through human flesh.
Now, once we are all transformed and the dead in Christ have already resurrected, then we will see Jesus Christ in His glorified body; and then we will see that there is a difference, that one is the Angel and the other is Jesus Christ.
In the dream that our Brother Branham had, he saw Jesus Christ at the call to enter into the inheritance, and he saw an Angel next to Jesus Christ: the Angel who was next to Christ, who had the Book in which the names are written.[37]
And how will that Angel receive – or how did that Angel receive that Book? Revelation, chapter 10: there he receives it from the hand of Christ, the Mighty Angel; from the hand of the Holy Spirit, from the hand of the Angel of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ.
Revelation, chapter 10, is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, of Christ, the Angel of the Lord in His heavenly body, to give the Title Deed to a man, so that the Title Deed becomes flesh in him.
And that is how the restoration to all the things that Adam and Eve lost will come to the children of God; because the Title Deed will return to the human race when the number of the elect of God in the Mystical Body of Christ has been completed.
And thus, the content of that Book and of those Seals…
Notice, in the different Seals we have mysteries that have already been fulfilled. But what pertains to the Fourth Seal, and part of the Fifth Seal, and the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, doesn’t belong to the seven ages, it is for our time.
Therefore, everything God will be fulfilling in our time is within the Seventh Seal; and within the Seventh Seal revolve: the last part of the Fifth Seal, the Fourth Seal, and also the Sixth Seal. Because what the Seventh Seal is to the Church is the Seventh Trumpet to the Hebrew people.
And Reverend William Branham says: “The Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal are the Coming of the Lord.”[38] The Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Holy Spirit coming to His people at the Last Day.
Now, the mystery is greater than we imagine; because it is the mystery of God in Christ and through Christ, in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, veiling Himself and revealing Himself through human flesh at the Last Day. “And the Lord will do nothing without first revealing His secrets to His servants, His prophets.”
Well, it has been a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you about: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD.”
When we have the new body, then we will fully understand the entire mystery of God and the blessings that are under that mystery.
Well, let’s leave our Brother Bermúdez with us again, to continue and conclude our participation; and we will see each other tomorrow, God willing, at tomorrow’s activity at the Coliseum or the Sports Arena, where we have already been (we were there on the previous occasion, at the previous activity); and we will be there again.
Well, may God continue to bless you all, may God keep you; and see you tomorrow, God willing.
Here with us now is our Brother Miguel, to continue and conclude our participation.
May God bless you and keep you all.
