Good morning, beloved brethren and friends here in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me; and may He allow us to understand His Word on this occasion, and allow us to understand the mystery of His Second Coming, and thus, fill us with wisdom and knowledge from Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
I want to read in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verses 1 to 3; and then the same 24th chapter, verses 30 to 31. Let’s read Saint Matthew 24, verse 1 to 3, where it says:
“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him (apart) for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
Chapter 24, verse 30 to 31, says:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
“THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.” That is our subject for this occasion.
In order to understand the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, it is very important to understand what the First Coming of Christ was; therefore, let’s see what the First Coming of Christ was, and let’s also see the promises of the First Coming of Christ, and let’s also see the promises of the Second Coming of Christ.
The First Coming of Christ was announced by God since the garden of Eden, in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, when God said that the woman’s Seed would bruise the serpent’s head, and there would be enmity between the serpent’s seed and the woman’s Seed.
Let’s see how it says that here: chapter 3, verse 15, says… Let’s see, this is when God cursed the serpent; therefore, let’s read chapter 3, verses 14 to 15, of Genesis, and it says the following:
“And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life…”
The serpent didn’t crawl on its belly back then, it wasn’t a reptile; it stood upright like a man, it spoke, reasoned, and was the most intelligent, most subtil animal; but then it lost the blessing it had, because it was an instrument of the devil, through which the devil manifested himself and beguiled Eve, and made the human race fall from Eternal Life.
And every person who is an instrument of the devil is under Divine Curse, and loses the right to Eternal Life.
Now, God goes on to say, He tells the serpent:
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
That is why when Christ died on Calvary’s Cross, His heel was bruised there; He was bruised in this part of His hands and He was also bruised by His ankles; and the bruise that the devil would give the Messiah, the woman’s Seed, was fulfilled there.
Since Genesis, notice, the Messiah is mentioned.
Now let’s see how the Messiah has been winning the battle against the devil.
On Calvary’s Cross the Messiah defeated the devil, He bore our sins, paid the debt of sin, and resurrected; He took the keys of hell and of death away from the devil.
And now Christ, at the Last Day, will raise in eternal bodies all His believers who have departed, meaning, whose physical bodies have died; and He will change those who are alive; all the believers in Christ who have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit; and therefore, the new birth has taken place in the person, he has been born again, he has been born into the Kingdom of God, and he has a theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
And all he needs is the eternal body that Christ has promised for the believers in Him, which we will receive when the dead in Christ rise in eternal bodies, and then we will be changed and we will also have the eternal body; and thus, we will return to Eternal Life with an eternal body.
Now, we already have Eternal Life, because we have received Christ as our Savior, washed away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and received His Holy Spirit, and therefore, we have been born again; and we already have Eternal Life.
Christ said, speaking about Eternal Life and His believers, in chapter 5 of Saint John, verse 24:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
Notice how we pass from death to Life.
And why do we pass from death to Life upon believing in Christ as our Savior, washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit? We pass from death to Life because we have come to this Earth in this mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, and we have come in death, a mortal body; and we pass from death to Eternal Life when we receive Christ as our Savior, and wash away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit.
Now notice the way we pass from death to Eternal Life: it is through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no man comes to the Father, but by Me.” There is no other way to obtain Eternal Life and to go back with Eternal Life to our Heavenly Father, there is only one Way: that is Jesus Christ; there is only one Truth: and that is Jesus Christ; and there is only one Eternal Life: and that is Jesus Christ.
And when we receive Him, we are receiving Eternal Life; and He carries out the new birth in us, and by being born again we obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, of Paradise.
And then, at the Last Day, we will receive the physical eternal body, a glorified body; and we will be in the image and likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the beginning of the new Creation, of the Creation of God, of that new Creation of people who will live eternally with Jesus Christ as kings and priests.
Now, let’s see how all of this happened through His Coming.
What was His Coming two thousand years ago? His Coming two thousand years ago was the fulfillment of the prophecies that spoke about the Coming of the Messiah as the Lamb of God, and He would be brought as a Lamb to the slaughter.
That is why when John the Baptist said that after him would come One whose shoe’s latchet he was not worthy to unloose, when he saw Him, he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.” He was coming as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world.
Notice, when Moses smote the rock that first time in which the people were thirsty, and God told him: “Go before the rock with the rod with which you parted the sea; go there, stand there, and I will be upon the rock. And you will smite the rock, and the rock will give you water.” Saint Paul, in First Corinthians, tells us that this rock is Christ.
Notice how that Rock, which is Christ, was among the Hebrew people, reflecting Himself in the rock that Moses smote. First Corinthians, chapter 10, verses 4 to 6, says that the Rock that followed them, that followed the Hebrew people, was Christ.
And now, notice how Christ reflected Himself through that rock; because Christ is the Rock of Salvation, the One who gives us Water of Eternal Life, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is the Lord Jesus Christ, that is the Angel of the Covenant, who would come among the Hebrew people in human flesh.
The Prophet Isaiah says in chapter 7, verse 14:
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Whom is the Prophet Isaiah speaking about here? Is he speaking about himself or someone else? He is speaking about someone else: he is speaking about the Messiah, about the woman’s Seed, which God spoke about in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15.
And now, the woman’s Seed, well, It had to come through a woman. And now God gives more information about that woman and that Son who would be born through that woman: now He says that she will be a virgin; and now He identifies the people through whom that virgin will come and through whom the Messiah will come: the people are the Hebrew people.
And now, He also identifies, on other occasions and in other passages, that He will be a descendant of David: He will come through the tribe of Judah. And that is why the virgin Mary was a descendant of King David; therefore, she was a princess; even though she was a poor woman, a poor young woman, but she was a princess.
No one could take away her position as a descendant of King David, even though she was poor; but poverty doesn’t take away what you are, and wealth also can’t do anything to make you something you are not. And for the children of God, neither earthly wealth nor poverty prevents them from being children of God.
Now we can see that this young woman, a descendant of King David, would be this virgin that the Prophet Isaiah spoke about, and this virgin would have a son. Isaiah, in chapter 9, told us more about that child, in verses 6 and 7 of chapter 9 of Isaiah, and said:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
Now, notice how he speaks about this descendant of David. He is the heir to the Throne of David, that is why the Throne of Jesus Christ is the Throne of David.
Now, notice how Jesus Christ, as the heir to the Throne of David, first had to come in His First Coming as the Lamb of God, to take our sins and die on Calvary’s Cross. If He sat on the Throne of David in His First Coming, He would have a kingdom of sin and of sinners; but He will have a Kingdom where the kings and priests will be with Him, which are the members of the mystical Body of Christ, of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will be sinless.
The problem with earthly governments is that their rulers are human beings who are in mortal bodies and sin attacks them, and for that reason, we find that they have many problems on Earth. And because Gentile kingdoms are kingdoms that are caught up in sin, they have so many problems.
But the Kingdom of the Messiah will be a Kingdom where sin will not be in that Kingdom, where Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords will be with His redeemed in that Kingdom. And in those people who will be part of that Kingdom as kings and priests, there will be no sin.
Notice what Revelation chapter 1, verses 4 to 6, says:
“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
With His Blood, He washed us from all sin, and made us kings and priests.
In chapter 5 of Revelation, verses 9 and on, it says:
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation,” (that includes you and me, too).
“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
In that glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ, we will be reigning as kings and priests, and there will be no sin in that Kingdom and the people who will be in charge of that Kingdom, which is Jesus Christ and His redeemed, and His Church; it will be a Kingdom of righteousness and peace for human beings.
Now we can see how that Kingdom will rule over the Hebrew people and over all the Gentile nations. That is why Revelation chapter 11 and verse 15 tells us about that Kingdom, and tells us that the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our Lord.
When it says “the kingdoms of this world,” it isn’t just referring to the Hebrew people, but to all the nations; because Jesus Christ is the heir to the Throne of David, to reign over the Hebrew people, He is the heir as the Son of David; but as Son of man, He is the heir to the planet Earth and all its inhabitants, to rule over the whole planet Earth.
Now, notice, Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 and on, 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, the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our God, of our Lord, and of His Christ, His Anointed One.
Now, notice what is promised. That is why Christ had to die on Calvary’s Cross in His First Coming: to pay the price of redemption; otherwise, there couldn’t be a restoration of the human being to Eternal Life, nor a restoration of the Throne and Kingdom of David over the Hebrew people and over the whole planet Earth; because the promise to David is a Kingdom over the Hebrew people, and that Kingdom will spread to the whole planet Earth.
The Stone cut out without hands that the Prophet Daniel saw in his interpretation to King Nebuchadnezzar, in the Book of Daniel chapter 2, verses 30 to 45, it says that this Stone, in Its Coming, smote the statue in its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces; and that Stone grew and became a great mountain that filled the whole Earth.
That great Mountain that will fill the whole Earth, notice, is the Second Coming of Christ, which will come in a small way, but then will grow and fill the whole Earth; and It will reign over the whole planet Earth, not just over the Hebrew people.
Now, we can see the great mystery that we are talking about. We are talking about the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ; but in order to understand the Second Coming of Christ, we have to understand the First Coming of Christ.
Now, notice what the First Coming of Christ was like: It was the fulfillment of the Messianic promises as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world.
In Malachi chapter 3, verse 1, it tells us:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me…”
That is the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ. And who was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ? Which prophet came preparing the way for Jesus Christ? Well, John the Baptist, he is this messenger promised to come preparing the way of the Lord.
And he already came approximately two thousand years ago, and he prepared the way of the Lord, and he introduced Him before the people, telling them: “This is He whom I said would come after me. I knew Him not; but He who sent me to baptize and preach told me: Upon whom you see the Holy Spirit descend like a dove, the same is He. And I saw It.” When did John see It? When he baptized Him, he saw the Holy Spirit descend like a dove upon Jesus of Nazareth.
Now, notice how John the Baptist was identified as this prophet who would come preparing the way of the Lord.
It was also promised that Elijah would be the one who would come preparing the way of the Lord.
The Hebrew people were waiting for the Prophet Elijah to appear preparing the way of the Lord; and when John the Baptist came, he was that Prophet Elijah.
The Archangel Gabriel, in chapter 1, verse 17, of Saint Luke, tells us:
“And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
This was what the Archangel Gabriel said about the son that would be born to Zacharias the Priest and his wife Elisabeth, who was well stricken in years, and Zacharias the Priest was already an elderly man. But they would have a child, a son, and he would be a prophet of God, and he would be the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ; he would come in the Spirit and power of Elijah.
And when he appeared, the Hebrew people were waiting for the coming of the Prophet Elijah, but they didn’t realize that John the Baptist was that Elijah who had to come.
And how can this be possible? When God promises to send a prophet who already came in the past and had his ministry and departed, when God promises to send him again, it is the ministry of that prophet coming in another man, it is the Spirit of God operating that ministry that was in that prophet—operating it in another prophet of the present time in which God sends him.
Notice, John the Baptist was the Elijah who had to come at that time. Jesus Himself testified of John the Baptist, in chapter 11 of Saint Matthew, verse 14, and He said of John the Baptist:
“…if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.”
Not only does the Archangel Gabriel say that John the Baptist is Elijah, but Jesus also says that he is the Elijah which was to come at that time preparing the way of the Lord.
When Jesus was on Mount Transfiguration and He was transfigured before His disciples (Peter, James, and John), in chapter 17 of Saint Matthew, the disciples of Jesus Christ (Peter, James, and John) saw Jesus with His face shining as the sun, and they also saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. Moses and Elijah were in their theophanic bodies, their bodies of the sixth dimension: of the dimension of Paradise.
And now, notice how they were there talking with Jesus about Jesus’ departure to Jerusalem to fulfill the Work of Redemption; where the Rock, Christ, would be smitten, which was represented in the rock that Moses smote there in the wilderness for the first time, meaning, that first rock.
And now, Moses is there with Jesus and the Prophet Elijah is there too, in their theophanic bodies. Once they come down Mount Transfiguration… Because everything that was shown on Mount Transfiguration is the Coming of the Kingdom of God in the Second Coming of Christ.
And now, notice how His face shone as the sun, because the Second Coming of Christ is promised as the rising sun. Malachi chapter 4, verse 2, says:
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…”
The literal sun doesn’t have literal wings, but since Christ is the Sun of Righteousness, the Wings of the Sun of Righteousness are the Angels of the Son of man. He said that the Son of man would come with His Angels, those are His Wings; and His Angels are Moses and Elijah.
The ministries of Moses and Elijah are the Wings of the Sun of Righteousness in the Second Coming of Christ, and that is why they appeared on Mount Transfiguration, where all the elements that the Kingdom of God will have in His Coming were shown on a smaller scale.
For the end time, we have the promise of the Two Olive Trees of Revelation chapter 11, and of Zechariah chapter 4.
Now, the apostles of Jesus Christ who saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus on Mount Transfiguration, later came down Mount Transfiguration with Jesus Christ; and when they come down, when they are coming down, notice… They had seen Moses and Elijah on Mount Transfiguration. Saint Matthew chapter 17, verse 9 and on, says:
“And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”
It was a vision, it was the vision of the Coming of the Son of man in His Kingdom with His Angels.
Now, it goes on to say:
“And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
Notice, that is when those disciples understood that John the Baptist was the Elijah who had to come at that time. Because when God promises the coming of the Prophet Elijah, it is the ministry that was in the Prophet Elijah coming in another veil of flesh, in another man of the present time where God fulfills that promise.
When God told the Prophet Elijah to go and anoint Elisha in his place, and Jehu as king of Israel, and Hazael as king of Syria… Notice, Elisha would be the successor of the Prophet Elijah; and when Elijah told him:
—“What do you want me to do for you? Ask whatever you want, and it will be granted to you.”
Elisha said:
—“Let a double portion of the Spirit that is in you come upon me.”
Elijah told him:
—“You have asked a hard thing.”
And why was it a hard thing? Because a person can’t say to God: “I want to be a prophet,” and then God tell him: “Very well, you will be a prophet.”
God, before the foundation of the world, has ordained in His Program how many prophets He would have, to send them to Earth in His Program; therefore, God sends His prophets in the times appointed by God, for the different ages and different dispensations.
It’s not because of a person’s desire that the person can be a prophet, but because God has predestined him as a prophet and sent him as a prophet to His people on this planet Earth. That is why the Prophet Elisha had asked a hard thing; but the Prophet Elijah knew what God had told him: that the successor prophet of Elijah would be Elisha.
And now, Elisha’s request was correct. And the Prophet Elijah told him: “If you see me when I am taken from you, your request will be granted; but if you don’t see me, your request will not be granted.” And Elisha was always watching Elijah.
When Elijah said: “Stay here, for God has sent me to the other side of the Jordan,” Elisha said to him: “I will not leave you, wherever you go, I will go with you;” if the promise was: “If you see me when I am taken, when God takes me…” because God was going to take him in a chariot of fire, in other words, in a flying saucer.
That is the same way that God will take His Church in the rapture.
Now, Elijah had to go, and Elisha would be left as the successor of the Prophet Elijah; and he needed the same Spirit of God and the ministry of Elijah; Elisha needed that ministry in him, and that is why he asked for that ministry in a double portion.
And he couldn’t leave Elijah, because if he let him go alone and God took him, he wouldn’t see him and he would lose the blessing of having a double portion of the ministering spirit of the Prophet Elijah.
But when they crossed Jordan, on the other side of Jordan, a chariot of fire came in a whirlwind, in other words, a flying saucer, and it took the Prophet Elijah. The Prophet Elijah’s mantle fell. Elisha saw the chariots of God that took the Prophet Elijah: “Chariots of Israel, horse chariots of Israel have taken my lord, my father,” because he was his spiritual father.
And a spiritual father, a prophet, like Elijah as Elisha’s spiritual father, was dearly loved by his son Elisha. And each prophet-messenger of each age and of each dispensation, notice, has spiritual children who love their spiritual father, the messenger whom God sends them. But our Heavenly Father is God, who uses those messengers, those prophets.
We also have, notice, the father of faith: Abraham. And all the believers in Christ, Saint Paul says, are children of the father of faith, of Abraham; we are children of Abraham.
Now, notice, when the Prophet Elisha, very sad, crying, takes the mantle of Elijah and walks back to Jordan, he stands before Jordan… and he wasn’t going to go back swimming, he wasn’t going to cross Jordan swimming; he stood before Jordan and folded his mantle (like the Prophet Elijah had), and said: “Where is the God of Elijah?” and smote the waters, and they parted; Jordan opened, and Elisha went over on dry ground.
The sons of the prophets, who were on the other side, when they saw this, said: “The Spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha;” they were filled with joy: the ministry of Elijah continued on Earth. And when the ministry of Elijah continues on Earth there is a great blessing for all the children of God.
It is very important to always see where the ministry of Elijah is, because wherever the ministry of Elijah is, that is the Elijah for that time.
And the Elijah for that time of the ministry of Elisha was Elisha, the ministry of Elijah was in him. That was the second time or second manifestation of the ministry of Elijah.
The third manifestation was in John the Baptist. Jesus said: “He is the Elijah which was to come.” And who can say the contrary? No one dares to say the contrary. John the Baptist is the Elijah who had to come preparing the way of the Lord; and then came the Lord, the Messiah.
Anyone may have said: “But, John the Baptist is the son of Zacharias the Priest and his wife, and we are waiting for the Prophet Elijah who left in a chariot of fire.” But when God promises to send the Prophet Elijah again, it is the ministry of the Prophet Elijah in another man. That is God’s way, that is how the coming of the Prophet Elijah is fulfilled to prepare the people for the First Coming of Christ.
People may have said: “And now, to make matters worse, John the Baptist says that Jesus, who is his cousin, now he says that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah,” in other words, “Now John the Baptist says that his cousin, Jesus, is the Messiah;” but Jesus was indeed the Messiah, He was the fulfillment of the promise of the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world. He came in such a simple way that people weren’t able to realize that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was present there, as the Prophet Malachi had said in chapter 3.
Notice, He had sent the messenger who would prepare the way for Him, and that was John the Baptist. But what does it go on to say in this same 3rd chapter of Malachi, verse 1?
“…and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Who would come? Whom would John the Baptist be preparing the way for? The Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who delivered the Hebrew people in Egypt; the Angel of the Lord who had appeared to the Prophet Moses in that bush there in the desert on Sinai, who had told him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Now notice, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is the Angel of the Covenant, would now come among the Hebrew people in human flesh, He would come in human flesh in the form of a prophet. That is why saint John chapter 1, verse 1 to 14, tells us:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
Where does the life of the human being and of animals and of all creation come from? From the Word, which was with God and was God.
So, what is the Word? The Word is the theophanic body of God, which was with God and was God. It was God inside that theophanic body. And that theophanic body is a body like our bodies, but from another dimension.
God in that theophanic body, which later, among the Hebrew people and among Adam and his descendants, was seen in the form of a Man, of an Angel; and that Man of the sixth dimension is called the Word of God.
That Man of the sixth dimension is the Person in which God was and from which God carried out all of creation. It was a Man who carried out all of creation, but a Man of the sixth dimension called the Word of God, which was with God and was God. God created His own theophanic body in the form of a Man, but from another dimension.
That is why when God created the human being, we find that He created him in His image, in other words, that image, that theophanic body of the sixth dimension. Adam lived in that theophanic body for a certain amount of time, and then God created him a body of the dust of the ground, a physical body of this dimension.
Now we find out why human beings can’t see God in that theophanic body: because it is from another dimension. But when God was made flesh, Emmanuel, that child that was born of the virgin Mary, who was Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us, when He was made flesh He could be seen among human beings among the Hebrew people; and that is why He could say: “I and My Father are One.” “And He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” He said that the Father dwelt in Him, and He dwelt in the Father.
Philip wanted to see the Father: “Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.” And Jesus says: “Have I been so long with you, Philip, and yet you have not known Me? Don’t you know that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father?” (or vice-versa), “and he that has seen Me, has seen the Father.”
The Almighty God created a theophanic body for Himself, from that theophanic body He carried out all of creation; and then He created Himself a body of flesh in Mary’s womb, a cell of life, which multiplied cell after cell and formed the body of Jesus that was born in Bethlehem of Judea.
And that body of Jesus is a body without sin because it came by Divine Creation; that is why Jesus said: “No man takes My life from Me, I lay it down of Myself to take it again.”
And in order to lay down His body for us and die, since He didn’t have sin to be mortal, He took our sins and became mortal, for the wages of sin is death. There was no other way for Him to die, He had to take our sins and die for our sins, and then rise.
And now, He bore our sins. John the Baptist rightly said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.” He took them. And when a person receives Christ as his Savior and washes away his sins in the Blood of Christ: he has accepted, he has received the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross and he has received the benefits of that Sacrifice.
He already bore our sins and took them away, but it becomes effective in us when we receive Him. If we don’t receive Him, the benefit of His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross doesn’t become effective in us.
Now we can see who Jesus Christ is: He is the same God who was made man and dwelt among human beings. That is why He could speak to the sea and to the winds, and they would obey Him. And the disciples of Jesus Christ said, they wondered: “Who is this Man, that even speaks to the sea and to the winds, and they obey Him?” He is the Creator of the winds and also of the sea, and of all creation.
Notice, when Peter needed fish, because he had been fishing all night and hadn’t caught anything, Christ told him: “Cast your net on the right side,” and he found fish, and the net was filled, and he had to ask for help. Christ created fish for Peter to catch.
When there was hunger on two occasions among the people who were hearing Him, He told His disciples:
—“They need not depart, give ye them to eat.”
They said:
—“We don’t have anything. And for so many people, even if we bought food, bread, we can’t feed them, there are too many. Send them away.”
Jesus said:
—“No, give ye them to eat.”
—“But we don’t have anything except a few loaves and a few fish that a boy has around there.”
Jesus said:
—“Bring that here.”
He took the loaves and fishes, He blessed them, and He would divide them and give to His disciples to give out to the people; and it continued multiplying, until everyone who was there ate; on one occasion, five thousand people, not including children and women; and on another occasion, four thousand people, not including children and women. Why? Because He is the Creator.
Now we can see who our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is; He is a greater Person than we imagined. He is the greatest Person that exists, because He is the Almighty God who became man, who became flesh, to die for us.
Now we can see what the First Coming of Christ has been: It was the Coming of the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in a veil of flesh called Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, who was born through a virgin named Mary, a descendant of King David; He was born there in Bethlehem of Judea according to the prophecy.
The First Coming of Christ was the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies pertaining to that time, the prophecies that spoke about the Coming of the Word in human flesh.
John testified (Saint John the Apostle) in his Gospel, in chapter 1, verse 14 and on, saying:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Who is the Lord Jesus Christ who came two thousand years ago? The Word who was made flesh, the Word that was made flesh; in other words, God with His theophanic body, who created Himself a body of flesh and lived in that body of flesh for thirty-three years here on Earth as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world.
See how simple the First Coming of Christ is? It is the Coming of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, clothed in human flesh.
And now, let’s see what the Second Coming of Christ will be.
The First Coming of Christ was in a simple way; because when God promises something great, it is great to God, but to the human eye, the fulfillment of such a great promise is something very simple.
And now, we have the promise of the Second Coming of Christ. And what will the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ for the Last day, for the seventh millennium, be? It will be the Coming of the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, clothed in human flesh at this Last Day.
In Revelation chapter 19, it tells us the following; verse 11 to 16, says:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
The Word of God comes back, He comes back at this Last Day. And who is the Word of God? It is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who came two thousand years ago clothed in human flesh in a veil of flesh called Jesus of Nazareth, born through the virgin Mary there in Bethlehem of Judea. The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord came manifested in that veil of flesh as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world.
And at the Last Day we have the promise of the Coming of the Word; and the Coming of the Word at this end time will be as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work. It says:
“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
The Coming of the Word, of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, at this end time, is as King of kings and Lord of lords, to sit on the Throne of David, because that is the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of David.
He sat on the Father’s Throne when He ascended to Heaven, but that is not the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is the Father’s Throne in Heaven, in the Temple which is in Heaven; but the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ is the Throne of David, where He will sit in His Second Coming as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.
And in Revelation chapter 3, verse 21, Jesus Christ says:
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
The same thing the Father did in Heaven when Jesus ascended to Heaven is what Jesus Christ will do with the Overcomer who will be here on Earth at the time of His Coming. It says:
“…will I grant to sit with me in my throne.”
And that is the Throne of David among the Hebrew people.
Now, what will the Second Coming of Christ to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and to the Hebrew people at the Last Day be?
Just as there was a forerunner for the First Coming of Christ, God has sent a forerunner for the Second Coming of Christ, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah, and it was the fourth time that the ministry of Elijah has been manifested on Earth. And if you want to know who is the fourth Elijah or fourth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah, he is Reverend William Marrion Branham, he is the Elijah who would come at the end time forerunning the Second Coming of Christ.
And now, let’s see what he says Revelation chapter 19 is, the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, let’s see who He is. In the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals page 318, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, while praying:
“[391]…May the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
Who is the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19.
And since the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 is the Second Coming of Christ, then we have to see in the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, in the Coming of the Holy Spirit, we have to see the veil of flesh where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be coming in the fulfillment of His Second Coming, we have to see this mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord at this Last Day.
The forerunner of the Second Coming Christ, in the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, on page 295, said:
“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.”
It is the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, coming in human flesh at the Last Day, in a Man of this Last Day. That will be the fulfillment of the Coming of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh at this Last Day.
Therefore, we need to find the veil of flesh where Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested at this Last Day, in order to see the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at this Last Day as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.
Now, the veil of flesh will not be the Lord Jesus Christ, but the One who will be manifested inside that veil of flesh will be Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit; to thus call and gather together His elect at this Last Day, and prepare us to be changed and raptured, and for the dead in Christ to be raised in eternal bodies and everyone to be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Once we are changed, then we will literally see the Lord Jesus Christ; but in the meantime, we will be seeing Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested through a veil of flesh of this end time. And we also will be seeing Elijah for the fifth time, the Elijah who is promised to come at the Last Day; and it will be the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time manifested in a veil of flesh, in a prophet of this end time. And we also have the promise that we will see the Prophet Moses, as it was shown on Mount Transfiguration.
Therefore, the ministry of Moses will be here on Earth again, and that is a dispensational ministry; that is the ministry that gave the Hebrew people the Law; and God sends him at this end time, according to His promise, for the second time. He is promised to come, and it will be the ministry of Elijah [Moses] in a Prophet of this end time.
In the veil of flesh where that ministry will be, the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Jesus will also be there. Those are the three great ministries promised to appear among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at this Last Day, and that is the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels at this Last Day, to call and gather all the elect of God with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.
We have seen what the Second Coming of Christ will be, we have seen the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
Whenever God has promised to send a prophet who already came in the past and had his ministry, when that promise is fulfilled it is the ministry of that prophet coming in another man of the present time. That is how it is for the coming of Moses for the second time, for the coming of Elijah for the fifth time, and for the Coming of Christ for the second time.
It is the Coming of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, veiled and revealed in human flesh in a prophet of this end time. But that prophet won’t be Jesus Christ, nor the Prophet Moses, nor the Prophet Elijah, but the ministries of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah, will be in him. Why? Because the Angel of the Covenant will be in him, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested, and He is the One who has ministries. No one else has ministries, Jesus Christ has them.
The Holy Spirit is the One who has ministries, and from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, He puts them in the men assigned by God as prophets for those ages or those dispensations. And at the Last Day, Jesus Christ says in Revelation chapter 22, verse 16:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
No one will be able to understand these things, these mysteries of the Second Coming of Christ with Moses and Elijah, unless it is through the teaching of Jesus Christ through His Angel-Messenger, because He sends His Angel-Messenger to testify these things in the churches.
Who is God’s Messenger to all the churches, sent by Jesus Christ? The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Last Day and of the last dispensation: of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, sent by Jesus Christ to testify all these things which must happen; to testify all these things to all the churches and to all human beings, so they receive the blessings of Jesus Christ in His Second Coming as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.
The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ doesn’t come arguing with the churches, he doesn’t come fighting with the ministers, he doesn’t come arguing with the ministers, he doesn’t come arguing with the religious groups; rather, he comes with the revelation, with the Message of Jesus Christ, testifying these things to all the churches, so that they receive the blessings of Jesus Christ at this Last Day as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.
We have seen why Jesus Christ sends His Angel-Messenger; and in him, He puts the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time, and Jesus for the second time.
But the Angel, despite all of that, is not the Lord Jesus Christ, nor the Prophet Elijah, nor the Prophet Moses, instead, he is a man redeemed by the Blood of Christ, of this end time, in whom Jesus Christ would be manifested in Holy Spirit at this end time, operating those ministries, and through that messenger making known to us all these things which must shortly be done.
He said in Revelation chapter 4: “Come up hither, and I will show you things which must shortly be done,” things which must be hereafter, things which must come to pass after the things that have already happened in these two thousand years that have passed. “Now I will make known to you the things which must come to pass at the end time. Come up here.”
Where will we come up to? To the Age of the Cornerstone, where Jesus Christ will be veiled and revealed, manifested in His Angel-Messenger, through whom He will be making known to us all these things which must shortly be done. He will be speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet.
That is why in Revelation 22, verse 6, the things that Jesus Christ said He would make known to us if we went up to where He is, now the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ makes them known to us; but it is Jesus Christ through His Angel making these things known to us. Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, says the following:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets…”
Who do the holy prophets belong to? To God. They are theophanic spirits of the sixth dimension sent to Earth in human flesh to bring the Word of God, they are ministering spirits sent to the heirs of salvation. Hebrews chapter 1, verse 14 says so.
Now, let’s continue reading here:
“…sent his angel,” (for what?) “to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
For what? To show His servants, His Church, the sons and daughters of God from among the Gentiles, and then the Hebrew people, to show them what? The things which must shortly be done.
It’s not to fight with the ministers, it’s not to argue; it’s to make known to them all these things which must happen at the Last Day, and thus be prepared to be changed and raptured at this Last Day.
No one will be able to know these things, unless it is through the teaching of Jesus Christ through His Angel-Messenger. That is why He sends His Angel-Messenger: for this Angel-Messenger to be the instrument of Jesus Christ.
That is the Angel-Messenger who gave John the Apostle the revelation of the Book of Revelation; and at this Last Day, Jesus Christ will send him to Earth in human flesh, to His Church, to testify to us, to make known to us all these things which must shortly be done. Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in him, making known to us everything we need to know in order to be changed and raptured at this Last Day.
We have seen the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ. Did you see what this mystery is? And it is prophesied in the Old Testament and in the New Testament too.
It is very important that at this end time people don’t do what Moses did the second time he was standing before the rock, in another place in the wilderness, where God told him: “Go to the rock, and speak to the rock, and it will bring forth water for all the people.” But Moses, full of wrath, took the rod and went with Aaron and spoke harshly to the people and smote the rock; and God was angry and said to him: “Because you did not honor Me in the eyes of the people, you will not enter the promised land.”
Moses, notice, only made two mistakes that we can mention. The first was when he asked God for someone to speak for him, because he couldn’t speak well, and God gave him Aaron, his brother. And then Aaron made a golden calf for the Hebrew people, he brought him trouble; and Aaron also criticized Moses, together with Miriam, Aaron’s sister, because Moses had taken a Black woman as his wife, an Ethiopian woman, with dark skin, and they were being racist; and God was not pleased by that, and He smote Miriam with leprosy. And Miriam, Aaron’s sister, died later on, meaning, she couldn’t enter the promised land; and then, later Aaron also died, and he couldn’t enter the promised land.
Now, notice, when Moses smote the rock on that occasion when God told him: “Speak to the rock,” not to smite the rock, but to speak to the rock; because the Rock is Christ, and the Rock would be smitten in His First Coming, but not in His Second Coming. And Moses went with Aaron, knowing that he had the power, and he smote the rock; and God told him that he wouldn’t enter the promised land because he smote the rock when God told him to speak to it; because he was breaking the type and figure of the Second Coming of Christ, which is not to be smitten.
There is no second crucifixion, because with the crucifixion of Christ on Calvary’s Cross He took away the sin of the world, that was the purpose of the First Coming and His death on Calvary’s Cross. But when Moses smote the rock, he set the type and figure of a second crucifixion, and he broke the type and figure pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ. And a second physical crucifixion cannot take place; therefore, there will be a spiritual crucifixion, a second crucifixion.
Therefore, ministers of all churches are called to be very careful regarding the Second Coming of Christ: lest they spiritually crucify the Second Coming of Christ, and go through what happened to the Hebrew people along with the religion of Judaism under the Law: their religious leaders rejected the Messiah and asked for His death on the Cross, and then they said: “His blood be on us, and on our children.” And they said: “Crucify Him! This Man will not reign over us.”
And then we find that the Divine Judgment has been falling upon the Hebrew people for approximately two thousand years, because they rejected the First Coming of Christ.
What will it be like for those who reject the Second Coming of Christ? They will go through the judgments of the Great Tribulation, because it will count against them as a second crucifixion; which was typified in what Moses did by smiting the rock that second time.
Now we can see that we must have our eyes open, our spiritual eyes, so that at this Last Day we don’t miss the mystery of the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ, as His Coming is prophesied here in the Bible, and as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said the Second Coming of Christ would be.
We have seen the prophecies of the Bible which speak about the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, and we have also seen in Revelation the Coming of Christ as the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19; also in Revelation chapter 10, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven is Christ in His Second Coming. And at this Last Day, He will be manifested in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger.
If we find the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, we will be finding Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in His Angel-Messenger, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done at this Last Day; and we will be seeing the mystery of the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ in human flesh at this end time.
But that veil of flesh won’t be the Lord Jesus Christ, that veil of flesh will be the veil of flesh of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit, anointing His Angel-Messenger and speaking through His Angel-Messenger.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.” That has been our subject for this occasion.
In the afternoon, I will be with you again to continue seeing these mysteries of the Kingdom of God. We will be seeing the mystery of “CHRIST THE MYSTERY OF THE VICTORY OF LOVE DIVINE.” That will be the subject for this afternoon.
On this occasion we have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.”
And where are the ones who would see this mystery, who would understand this mystery? Here we are, present at this Last Day, in Latin America and the Caribbean; because you have been given to know, to be aware of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God pertaining to this Last Day.
It has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you about this mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
But remember that I told you that the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ, so that no one says that I said that the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is neither the Lord Jesus Christ, nor the Prophet Elijah, nor the Prophet Moses.
What I told you is that in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ would be the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time, and Jesus Christ for the second time; and the One who operates those ministries is the Holy Spirit, He is the One who gives and operates ministries; and He will be operating them at this Last Day in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ: the same ministry of the Prophet Moses, and the same ministry of the Prophet Elijah, and the same ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those are the ministries that will be operated by the Holy Spirit at this Last Day in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels, which is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit with the ministries of Moses, Elijah, and Christ manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It has been a great privilege to testify to you about this mystery, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels.
May God bless you, may God keep you.
And onward, receiving the knowledge of all these things which must happen at this Last Day.
We will see each other in the afternoon, God willing. We will have a break of about, how long, Miguel? About an hour, or more than an hour. They will announce to you what time we will start the second service. And I will be testifying to you again about these things which must happen at this end time; I will be testifying to you under the subject: “CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF THE VICTORY OF LOVE DIVINE.”
May God bless you and keep you, and we will see each other in the next service.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.”
