The Mystery of God’s Glory Manifested

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, radio listeners, and television viewers who will also be hearing and watching this service later on. May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you, and also upon me. And may He fill us with the knowledge of His Program, and allow us to see His Glory at this Last Day. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Tonight, we have the subject: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD’S GLORY MANIFESTED.”

For this reason, let’s read in Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 14 and on, where it says:

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

In order to understand our subject: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD’S GLORY MANIFESTED,” we need to see how God’s Glory was manifested in the past.

In the Book of Exodus, we find the occasion when the Prophet Moses set up the temple for God and dedicated it to God, and then God’s Glory entered the temple that Moses set up.

It says in Exodus chapter 40, verse 33 to 38, it says (in Exodus):

“And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up,

For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.”

On that occasion, we find God’s Glory, the Glory of the Lord, manifested in the house that Moses set up for God.

There was another occasion where we saw the Glory manifested in a house too: this was when King Solomon built a house for God, for God to dwell in that house and for God’s Name to be there. It says in chapter 8 of First Kings, verse 6 and on, it says:

“And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord,

So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.”

Here we can see how the Glory of the Lord had filled the house, the temple that King Solomon had built for God. It goes on to say:

“Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

And the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

Now notice here how King Solomon says:

“And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

In that house that Solomon built, they put the Covenant of God; and the Covenant was in the ark, the ark of the covenant, which was put inside the holy of holies.

And now, notice how the Name of the Lord was in that house. The Name of the Lord was in the holy of holies of the house; and why was it there? It says in [Leviticus] chapter 16, verse 1 and on, it tells us… let’s see… And in Leviticus chapter 16, let’s see what it tells us here… (let’s put this page back in its place). Leviticus chapter 16, let’s also read what God tells us here. It says:

“And the Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord, and died;

And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.”

Where did God appear manifested in that Cloud, inside the temple? Upon the mercy seat, there in the holy of holies; upon the mercy seat that was on the ark of the covenant.

And regarding that place, it says in Exodus chapter 25, it says… verses 18 to 22; Exodus chapter 25, verses 18 to 22, says:

“And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”

From where did God manifest Himself to Moses there in the tabernacle? He manifested Himself upon the mercy seat, between the two cherubims of gold; God spoke to Moses from there. God was manifested there in that Cloud, God’s Glory was manifested there; and when Moses would come into the temple, he would see God’s Glory manifested there.

And now, notice how God’s Glory has always been manifested in a temple; and God’s Glory has been on His Throne, which is the holy of holies, upon the mercy seat that is on the ark of the covenant.

And in order to see the Glory of God manifested, we need to find the Temple where God is manifested.

We also find in Isaiah chapter 40, verse 3 and on, where it speaks to us about the manifestation of God’s Glory… and it says:

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”

Now, here we find that we have the promise for the Hebrew people of the manifestation of the Glory of the Lord. And to prepare the way for the manifestation of the Glory of the Lord, we have the promise of a voice crying in the wilderness and preparing the way of the Lord, and making straight in the desert a highway for our God.

When it talks about a voice: it is the Voice of God through a prophet, a man. And for the Voice of God to be heard, there must be a veil of flesh here on Earth through which God is manifested, speaking to His people.

And here we have the promise of the Voice of God being manifested and preparing the way of the Lord; and notice how this promise was fulfilled among the Hebrew people two thousand years ago. In chapter 3 of Saint Matthew, it tells us the following:

“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Here we have a clear preaching of John the Baptist. And here in this passage we have read, John the Baptist is identified as the voice of the one who would be crying in the wilderness.

Now, notice how when reference is made to a voice or to a trumpet sounding: that is referring to the Voice of God through a man speaking to the human race.

When they came to John the Baptist, asking him if he was Elijah or if he was the Messiah, he told them he was not. This is here in Saint John chapter 1, verse 19 and on, where it says:

“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.”

Now, notice that when John announces the Coming of the Messiah, he says it will be a Man, a Man who will come after him. He says:

“And I knew him not…”

Notice, he says:

“This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.”

Now, notice how John the Baptist introduced Jesus of Nazareth here as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Then, later on, he introduced Him again.

Now, notice what John saw:

“And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.”

These two disciples were John the Apostle and Andrew, Peter’s brother.

Did they do the right thing by following Jesus and leaving John the Baptist? Well, of course they did; for John the Baptist came baptizing and he came preaching and telling them to believe in the One who would come after him. There would be no use in receiving the forerunner if later on, when the One forerun appears, they don’t follow Him, they don’t receive Him.

God doesn’t just send a forerunner for people to believe and follow the forerunner, but so that later on they follow the One forerun and receive the blessings that God brings through the Divine manifestation through His forerun.

Now, notice how the Divine manifestation of God’s Glory manifested at the time when the voice crying in the wilderness would appear, which was John the Baptist, notice, the promise is:

[Isaiah 40:5] “And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”

And how would the Glory of the Lord be manifested? Notice, we find that the Hebrew people are the House of God as a people; and we find that among the Hebrew people there was One who had the manifestation of God in all His fullness, which was our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and that was none other than the Glory of the Lord manifested in human flesh in His Temple. A human Temple was there: Jesus Christ.

The Glory of God is always manifested in His Temple. It was manifested in His temple, which Moses built; it was also manifested in the temple that King Solomon built; and we see Him, we see God’s Glory manifested in His human Temple called Jesus, among the Hebrew people.

And now, we find that Jesus died, rose, and ascended to Heaven; and then we find that the temple of Israel was destroyed.

And we have the promise that the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.¹

And where will the Glory of God, the Glory of the Lord, be manifested, in order to know the mystery of the manifestation of God’s Glory? That requires a temple. We must find the Temple of God, where God’s Glory will be manifested, in order to know the mystery of the manifestation of God’s Glory; this is why Jesus Christ, our beloved Savior, has been building a Temple.

That Temple which Christ has been building is not built out of badger skins and other things, as Moses built the temple, nor out of stones and wood and metals, as Solomon built the temple, rather, Jesus Christ is building a Temple out of living stones, which are human beings.

And now, notice how the Apostle and Prophet Saint Paul speaks to us about that Temple in Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 19 and on, where he says:

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord…”

And here we have the construction of a new Temple, where the Glory of the Lord, the Glory of God, will be manifested in all His fullness. That Temple is the One that Jesus Christ is building: It is a Building, a Temple, built out of human beings; it is a House: the House of God.

“…Unto an holy temple in the Lord:

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

God in Spirit will dwell in all His fullness in that Temple.

Now, we have had Jesus Christ carrying out the construction of that Temple from age to age, which was shown by Rev. William Branham in the diagram that he showed in the message “The Stature Of A Perfect Man.”² This diagram in the form of a pyramid shows the way that the spiritual Temple of God has been built, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, being built out of human beings.

And from age to age, Jesus Christ has sent a messenger through whom He has manifested Himself, and called and gathered His elect pertaining to each age. Where? In His spiritual Temple. And through that manifestation of Christ in Holy Spirit through each angel-messenger, Jesus Christ has gathered the living stones out of which He has been building each stage of His spiritual Temple.

And once these seven stages have passed… We find that Christ, in the first stage of His Church among the Gentiles, called living stones from Asia Minor through Saint Paul the Apostle, and built the first age or first stage among the Gentiles; and then He continued doing the same through each messenger, calling and gathering His elect, and building His spiritual Temple, His Church, from age to age.

Then the second stage was in Europe; the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stages were also in Europe, in different places, where God sent messengers in each of those ages that were fulfilled in Europe: five ages were fulfilled in Europe and five angel-messengers were sent to Europe. And the part pertaining to the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ages were built out of European living stones, which became part of this spiritual Temple called the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then the Spirit of God, which is the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, went on to North America, where He anointed and sent His prophet-messenger Rev. William Branham, as forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ and angel-messenger of the seventh age of the Gentile Church; and through him, He was manifested and speaking and calling His elect for the seventh stage or age of the Gentile Church. And there was even a gap where He was also manifested through that seventh angel-messenger in North America.

And then, from North America, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit goes on to Latin America and the Caribbean to call and gather His elect, in order to form the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple; for the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church pertain to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.

And now, in Latin America and the Caribbean, by calling and gathering His elect through the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, through His Angel-Messenger, whom He would anoint at the Last Day and send with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, through which He will call and gather His elect at this Last Day, what is Christ doing? He is building the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple.

And when the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple is finished and this completed Temple is dedicated to God: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for God to dwell in all His fullness in His Church, God will be manifested in His Church at this Last Day in all His fullness in the Holy of Holies, that is, in the Age of the Cornerstone, where a new dispensation opens and where God is putting His elect of the Last Day.

There, in the Age of the Cornerstone, is where God’s Glory will be seen manifested in all Its fullness at this end time in which we are living, at this Last Day in which we have been given to live.

And there, in that Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple, is where God will be manifested in all His fullness, His Glory will be manifested in all Its fullness; and He will also be speaking to the Hebrew people from that place; He will be speaking to them the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom as God told Moses: “I will manifest Myself to you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims of gold, and there I will speak to you of all things which I will give you in commandment unto the children of Israel.” Let’s read it so that you have this quote exactly as it is here. It says:

[Exodus 25:22] “And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”

And now, notice how the ministry of Moses will be in the Holy of Holies at the Last Day, to receive the Message of God there for the Hebrew people; and that will be in the Temple of Jesus Christ, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Where were the two olive trees and the two candlesticks of gold? They were in the temple of God, in Zechariah chapter 4, and Revelation chapter 11.

Those are the ministries that will be there in the Holy of Holies at the Last Day; and they were represented in those two cherubims of olive tree that Solomon built and put there in the holy of holies, and overlaid them with gold.

That represents the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which would be manifested at the Last Day in the Holy of Holies of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, where God’s Glory would be manifested in His Temple, upon the Ark of the Covenant, on the Mercy Seat, among the Two Cherubims of Gold.

Because in the holy of holies, there were two cherubims of gold on the mercy seat, and there were also two giant cherubims of olive tree overlaid with gold there too; and under the wings of the two cherubims of gold was the ark of the covenant with the mercy seat; and the Glory of the Lord was manifested there in the Cloud, in that Pillar of Fire.

And now, at the Last Day, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Pillar of Fire, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, will be manifested in all His fullness in His Church, His spiritual Temple, in the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple; and He will be there manifested among the Two Cherubims of Gold and among the Two Cherubims of Olive Tree, so that God’s Glory is seen in His spiritual Temple, which is His Church.

We can’t look for another place to see the manifestation of God and to see God’s Glory manifested at this Last Day.

Notice how Saint Paul, knowing this mystery of the Temple of God, tells us in Hebrews chapter 3, verse 5 and on, he says:

“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”

Now, which is the House of God that Christ has been put over? Saint Paul says:

“…But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we.”

We are the House of God, the Church of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is the House of God where God’s Glory will be manifested in all His fullness at this Last Day.

Now, notice how the temple Moses built and the one Solomon built are a type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because they are also a type and figure of the Temple which is in Heaven. And the representation of the Temple which is in Heaven was the tabernacle Moses built at that time, then it was the temple Solomon built, and then we find that it was Jesus Christ, the human Temple of God.

And now, we find that Christ has been building a spiritual Temple, which is His Church, which is the representation of the Temple that is in Heaven, to manifest in this spiritual Temple the Glory of God that is manifested in Heaven in the Holy of Holies, on the Throne which is in Heaven in the Holy of Holies.

Saint Paul says to the Hebrews, in chapter 9, verse 1 and on, he says:

“Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.”

Here, notice how Saint Paul the Apostle shows us that there was the holy place, and then, beyond that, was the holy of holies; and in the holy of holies was the ark of the covenant, where the tables of the Law were, where Aaron’s rod that budded was, and where the hidden manna in a golden pot was, and where the mercy seat with the two cherubims of gold was, where God’s Glory would manifest Itself in that Cloud, according to Leviticus chapter 16.

And now, notice how all of that was a type and figure; for it says in the same chapter, chapter 9, verse 16 and on [of Hebrews], tells us:

“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.”

And now, notice how Saint Paul the Apostle, in another passage, in First Corinthians chapter 15 [verse 48], tells us:

“As is the earthy,” (meaning, Adam), “such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly,” (which is Christ), “such are they also that are heavenly.”

And Christ, being the heavenly Man, who died on Calvary’s Cross and shed His Blood to cleanse us from all sin, now notice what He does with that spiritual Temple, which is His Church, which is made up of heavenly people, people who come from Heaven. “As is the heavenly,” (Christ), “such are they also that are heavenly,” meaning, the members of His Church, of His mystical Body of believers.

Now, notice that the people who are heavenly, meaning that their souls come from Heaven, from the seventh dimension, from the dimension of God, they are heavenly people, and they have been washed in the Blood of Jesus Christ shed on Calvary’s Cross.

And like Moses: Moses sprinkled the blood upon the tabernacle and all things that were there; now Christ has sprinkled His Blood upon every member of His [mystical] Body and has cleansed us from all sin.

And now, notice how this Temple has an Outer Court, Holy Place, and Holy of Holies.

The human race, notice, from Adam to Christ, belongs to the Outer Court; and from Christ to this time: [it belongs] to the Holy Place; and from this time and on: [it belongs] to the Holy of Holies.

We are living at the time in which the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ goes into the stage of the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple; and for that to happen, Christ builds out of human beings, out of people whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, who live at this end time, He builds the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple by calling and gathering those people in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and thus, putting them in that part of the spiritual Temple of Christ, in the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple, where there will be the manifestation of God’s Glory in all His fullness; where the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive will be changed.

Now, notice how in the past God’s Glory was manifested in human flesh in the Person of Jesus; and many people couldn’t understand that it was God’s Glory manifested in that human Temple, and they thought it was Beelzebub who was performing those miracles.³

But it was God’s Glory manifested in human flesh in His human Temple: in Jesus, and the Glory of God was manifested there. And the Scripture said: “And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.” It was manifested and It was seen, although some didn’t understand that it was God’s Glory manifested in human flesh, in His human Temple called Jesus.

And at the Last Day, we have the promise of the manifestation of God’s Glory, the Glory of the Lord, in His spiritual Temple, in His Church.

And Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, will be manifested at the Last Day in human flesh through His Angel-Messenger, making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; and He will be calling and gathering His elect and putting them in His spiritual Temple, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple, so that Jesus Christ may have His last manifestation, where God’s Glory will be seen manifested in all His fullness.

And that is how Christ will be manifested in glory, in the Glory of His Father, according to His promise: coming with His Angels at the Last Day. And wherever Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is manifested, that is where His Angels will be, in other words, the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

All of this moves progressively until it reaches the peak, where God’s fullness is manifested at this Last Day in His Church, in His Temple.

And now, notice how we have reached the most glorious time, where the Glory of the Lord (according to the Divine Promise) will be manifested in His Church at this Last Day; and the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, of the Glory of God; of God’s Glory manifested in His Church, of the Glory of the Lord manifested in His Church, which is the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels at this Last Day.

That is the manifestation of the Glory of God, of the Glory of Jesus Christ, coming in the Glory of His Father; which was shown on Mount Transfiguration, where Jesus Christ was glorified and His face was seen as the sun, which represents Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.

And in His spiritual Temple, His Church, Jesus Christ will be seen manifested as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

All of this is pointing to Mount Transfiguration, to what will be happening on God’s Mountain, meaning, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where God’s Glory will be manifested in all His fullness, in the Coming of the Son of man in Glory, in the Coming of the Son of man in the Glory of His Father; where the Church will be seeing that manifestation of Jesus Christ at the Last Day in the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple.

That is why in Revelation chapter 4, Christ tells us: “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.”

“Come up hither.” Where? To the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the place for the manifestation of the Glory of the Lord, that is the place for the manifestation of Jesus Christ Coming in Glory, in the Glory of His Father, with His Angels, and manifesting Himself among His Church.

That is the promise of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels: it is the promise of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant to His Church at this Last Day, where He will be veiled and revealed through His Angel-Messenger, and manifesting Himself, and calling and gathering His elect; so that at the end, this spiritual Temple is dedicated to God and God dwells in It in all His fullness, dwells in His Church in all His fullness; so that the dead in Christ are raised in incorruptible bodies and we who are alive are changed.

For it is written in Isaiah chapter 60, verse 7:

“…And I will glorify the house of my glory.”

Which is the House of the Glory of Jehovah, of the Glory of the Lord? It is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we have the promise that He will glorify It; and we who are alive will be changed, and we will be in eternal and glorified bodies, and the dead in Christ will rise and will be in glorified bodies; and we will live for all eternity with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And Christ will be manifested in all His fullness in His Temple, in His Church, in the Holy of Holies part, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; and Christ will be manifested there for all eternity, in the Millennial Kingdom and then for all eternity; because that is the House of God which Jesus Christ has been building as a habitation of God through the Holy Spirit in all His fullness.

We have seen the place to search for and to see God’s Glory manifested at this Last Day.

And that which is manifested in Heaven, in the Holy of Holies: God’s Glory manifested in Heaven, in the Holy of Holies, is what will be seen manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this Last Day; because God will be bringing to present-day fulfillment in His Church the things that are in the Holy of Holies there in Heaven; and the manifestation of God’s Glory in Heaven will be manifested and brought to its present-day fulfillment in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Holy of Holies of that spiritual Temple.

And God’s Glory will be manifested there in the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ, and It will be manifested in His human Throne; and the Glory of Jesus Christ will be manifested on His Throne, there among the Hebrew people, which is the Throne of David. And that is why Christ says in Revelation chapter 3, verse 21:

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne.”

That will be the Overcomer of the Last Day, who as a human Temple, will be the Throne where Christ will be manifested; and then Christ will also be manifested on the Throne of David, there in the Land of Israel; and that is why the Overcomer will sit on that Throne.

And now, we also see that just like in the temple Solomon built and in the temple Moses built was the Name of God, the Eternal Name of God… because the house that Moses built and the one that King Solomon built was a house for the Name of God to be there and for God’s Glory to be manifested there.

And the Temple that Jesus Christ has been building is for God’s Glory to be manifested in that Temple, in His Church, and for the Eternal Name of God to be there as well.

That is why Christ says: “To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden Manna, and I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new Name written, which no man knows saving he that receives It.”⁴ That white Stone is the Second Coming of Christ, who comes at the Last Day with a new Name.

Two thousand years ago, He came with the Name of Redemption: Jesus; and at the Last Day, He will come with the Claiming Name, which is the Eternal Name of God.

Now, there are people who don’t know that the Second Coming of Christ is with a new Name. But if everyone understands that the Coming of Christ is the Coming of the Stone cut out without hands that King Nebuchadnezzar saw, as well as the Prophet Daniel,⁵ which comes at the Last Day…

Because He is the Stone that the builders rejected, the Stone that has become the Head of the Corner,⁶ which will be manifested in His Temple, in His Church, at the Last Day; because His Second Coming will become a reality in and to His Church; His Church is the One to whom He promised His Second Coming.

And now, if He comes with a new Name, that is because He has a new Name.

Does the Bible say that Jesus Christ has a new Name? There are people who don’t know this, but it’s due to a lack of reading the Bible and reading from the Book of Revelation what it says about the new Name.

I already showed you in Revelation chapter 2, verse 17, that the white Stone, which is the Second Coming of Christ, has a new Name; and he who receives that white Stone: the Second Coming of Christ, receives that Stone with a new Name; and It is received by the Overcomer, who will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day. And everyone who will be receiving, seeing and receiving the Second Coming of Christ, will be seeing and receiving It with a new Name.

And notice where Jesus Christ also tells us that He has a new Name. In Revelation chapter 3, verse 12, He says:

“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,” (which is the Temple of God? Well, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ), “and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God…”

Which is the Name of our God? The Eternal Name that was shown to Moses in four consonants, but couldn’t be pronounced;⁷ which Jacob also wanted to know when he wrestled with the Angel of the Lord, and the Angel changed Jacob’s name; and now Jacob asks Him for His Name, and the Angel tells him that It is secret,⁸ in other words, He doesn’t want to make His Name known to him.

Then, here in Revelation, it tells us that God will write upon the Overcomer the Name of our God; and He will never go out of that Temple again, which is the Church of Jesus Christ. It says:

“…And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

When did Jesus Christ receive a new name? Well, when He ascended victorious to Heaven: He sat at the right hand of God and was given a Name which is above all names: that is the Eternal Name of God.

Because there is no other name greater than the Eternal Name of God, and there is no other name upon which there is another name. Only the Eternal Name of God is the greatest Name in Heaven and on Earth; and that is the Name which Jesus Christ received when He ascended to Heaven: that is the new Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We also find that in Revelation chapter 14, the hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews who receive God’s Word under the ministry of the Angel with the Seal of the living God, which is the Angel-Messenger who comes with the ministries of Moses and Elijah, and in whom the Holy Spirit comes, in other words, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, who has the Eternal Name of God…

Because in Exodus chapter 23, verse 20 and on, it tells us the following, referring to the Angel of the Lord. It says:

“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.” (Where is the Name of God? God says It is in His Angel).

“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”

Now, notice how it is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, which is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which is God Himself in His theophanic Body, which is the Word that was with God and was God, and created all things; and then was made flesh and dwelt among human beings, and was known by the Name Jesus, which is the Name of Redemption, to carry out the Work of Redemption.

And at the Last Day, the Angel of the Lord will return veiled in human flesh, manifested in human flesh; and that is the Coming of the Lord for the second time. It is the Coming of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant at the Last Day with His Eternal Name, with the Eternal Name of God, which is the new Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And that is how Jesus will come with a new name, Moses will come with a new name and Elijah will come with a new name; and that new Name is the Eternal Name of God. And He will come in a new veil of flesh, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is why John the Apostle wanted to worship the Angel of Jesus Christ: because he saw the manifestation of God’s Glory in all His fullness in His Angel; but the Angel told him: “See that you do it not, for I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets. Worship God.” Revelation chapter 19, verse 10, says:

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

And in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 8 and on, it says:

“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”

Now, notice how on two occasions an apostle like Saint John fell down before the Angel of Jesus Christ to worship him, and he told him not to do it. Because this Angel is a prophet: the prophet whom Jesus Christ sends at the Last Day to call and gather God’s elect; the prophet in whom Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit comes manifested with the Great Voice of Trumpet, calling and gathering all His elect; and revealing the mystery of God’s Glory manifested at the Last Day in the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ; and thus, revealing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ and of the new Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, notice how there are many people who don’t know that Jesus Christ has a new Name, and that this new Name is the Name for His Second Coming, and it is the Name that He will use as King of kings and Lord of lords, with which He will rule over the Hebrew people and over all nations during the Millennial Kingdom.

That is why in Revelation chapter 19, it speaks to us about a Name that no one understands: it is the Word of God. And when the Word of God came manifested in flesh two thousand years ago, He used the Name of Redemption, which is Jesus.

And at the Last Day, the Word will come, which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit: He will come in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger and manifest His new Name, the Eternal Name of God; and thus, He will fulfill His promise and will write His Name upon the Overcomer who will sit with Him on His Throne, which is the Throne of David, there in Jerusalem; that is the Throne of Jesus Christ.

“Even as I have sat down on My Father’s Throne.” Christ also says: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit on My Throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in the Throne.”

Just as it happened in Heaven, when Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven and sat on the Father’s Throne, now Jesus Christ will do the same with His Angel-Messenger of the Last Day; and he will sit with Christ on His Throne, the Throne of David, and Christ will be with His Angel and His Angel will be with Christ; and we will all be with Jesus Christ in that glorious Millennial Kingdom as kings and priests.

So, we will have the highest position to be held in that glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ and for all eternity.

If you haven’t had a high position on this Earth in the Gentile kingdom, don’t worry: in the glorious Kingdom of Jesus Christ you will have the highest position: the position of kings and priests; and we will reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity.

We have seen this mystery of God’s Glory manifested, and how at the Last Day it will be manifested in His Church, in the Holy of Holies of His spiritual Temple, of His Church, and the Glory of the Lord will be manifested in human flesh at this end time.

And Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in human flesh, and the Glory of the Heavenly Father will be seen manifested in His Temple. And thus, there will be the fulfillment of the same thing that was seen in the tabernacle of Moses when it was dedicated and in the tabernacle or temple of Solomon when it was dedicated; and the same thing that was seen when Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist, who saw the heavens opened and saw the Holy Spirit descend like a dove upon Jesus Christ⁹: he saw God’s Glory manifested in His human Temple: Jesus Christ.

And on Mount Transfiguration, in that vision, God’s Glory was seen manifested, and the face of Jesus Christ shone as the sun; because the Second Coming of Christ is as King of kings and Lord of lords. The sun represents Christ as King; that is why He said: “I am the light of the world.”¹⁰

And in Malachi chapter 4, verse 2, it says: “Unto those that fear My Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His Wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet.”

During the Millennial Kingdom, the wicked will be (where?) under the soles of our feet, because they will be like ashes; because the fire that will come, the atomic fire, of Malachi chapter 4, verse 1 (which comes before this quote I gave you), will burn up the wicked. It says:

“…Behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”

And for the fire that will burn them: those nuclear bombs are already prepared, which is the fire that will burn.

And for the renovation of the Earth, to be prepared so that it is fertile and even the desert blossoms,¹¹ well, Latin America and the Caribbean will also contribute; but it won’t contribute with atomic bombs, it won’t contribute with nuclear bombs; we have enough volcanoes in Latin America and the Caribbean to contribute so that the whole Earth is prepared, so that the Earth undergoes a renovation and becomes fertile; and thus, so that the wicked, which will be burned during the Great Tribulation, also end up under the volcanic ash.

Christ also spoke of this when He spoke about the parable of the wheat and tares; and said that “the tares would be bound in bundles and cast into the furnace of fire, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”¹² That is during the Great Tribulation, where the atomic fire will burn up the wicked ones. And the fire is ready.

Just like in Noah’s time the flood of water destroyed the human race; now it won’t be with water, but with fire.

But the most important thing of all is that God’s Glory, the Glory of the Lord, will be in the House of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; “and the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” says the Prophet Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 14, and the Prophet Isaiah, in chapter 11, verse 9.

The Earth shall be filled with what? With the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea; in other words, the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ in Glory in His Temple, in His Church.

And thus, the Earth will obtain, the planet Earth will obtain the knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ; and thus, it will obtain the knowledge of the whole Divine Program during this time and during the glorious Millennial Kingdom that will be established on this Earth; and this way, everyone will receive the benefits of the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

And that is how we will come into the whole Divine Program of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the blessings of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work; where the Glory of God, the Glory of Jesus Christ, will be manifested in His spiritual Temple, His Church, in the Holy of Holies, at this Last Day.

“THE MYSTERY OF GOD’S GLORY MANIFESTED.”

See how simple everything is, so that God’s Glory is manifested this way, at this Last Day, in His Temple, according to the Divine Promises?

We have seen the Temple where God’s glory would be manifested at this Last Day: it is the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, called the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And in the Holy of Holies of that Temple, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, is where a new dispensation opens: the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

And that stage of the spiritual Temple of Christ pertains to Latin America and the Caribbean; a great blessing, the greatest blessing that any continent or nation has ever received; and God kept it for the Latin American and Caribbean people, to see God’s Glory manifested at this Last Day, in the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Age of the Holy of Holies of that spiritual Temple.

We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF GOD’S GLORY MANIFESTED.”

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and also upon me; and may He fully open our understanding so that we see God’s Glory manifested in His Temple, and receive the blessings of Jesus Christ at this Last Day; and soon may we all be changed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
