The Mystery of the Harvest at the End of the World

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, and also radio listeners and television viewers who will be hearing this conference.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ our Savior, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each of you and also upon me; and may He open our understanding this evening to understand these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, to understand THE MYSTERY OF THE HARVEST AT THE END TIME. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let’s read in Saint Matthew chapter 13, verses 36 to 43, the words of Jesus Christ or the explanation of Jesus Christ about the parable of the wheat and the tares; and in this passage, He explains that parable to us. The Scripture says the following:

“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

The enemy that sowed them,” (meaning, that sowed the tares), “is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth,” (there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth).

“Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

“THE MYSTERY OF THE HARVEST AT THE END OF THE WORLD.”

When Christ speaks to us here, in this parable of the wheat and the tares, and He speaks to us about the Harvest, and speaks to us about the Angels that He sends to carry out the Harvest, He is showing us His Program in this parable form, where He teaches us what will be happening at the end of the world or end of time.

Now, why did Christ speak in parables? The explanation is in chapter 13, verse 10 and on, where it says:

“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them,” (or ‘save them.’ Some versions say ‘heal them,’ other versions say ‘save them’).

“But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”

Now, notice how the use of parables has a purpose; and it is: to put the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and Its different stages or phases, from past times to the end time, in those parables. And at the same time, those mysteries are hidden there, because they can’t be understood, except by those who are given to understand these mysteries; and those people are God’s elect written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

That is why He says: “But it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.” That is why He tells them: “Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For many of the prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which you see, and to hear the things which you hear.”

What were they seeing? They were seeing the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ; which had been promised in different prophetic ways, like in parables; and in different prophecies, we find Christ in the Psalms, we also find Him in the sacrifices that the Hebrew people offered to God, those sin offerings.

That sacrifice of the goat, on the day of atonement, the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, represented Christ; the sacrifice of the Passover lamb also represented Christ dying on Calvary’s Cross.

Notice, all of those sacrifices represented Christ, and their blood represented the Blood of Christ being shed for our sins, to cleanse us from all sin.

Animal blood covered sin, but the Blood of Christ takes it away; in other words, the effect of the Blood of Christ on human beings is superior to that of the blood of those animals that the Hebrew people offered to God as a sacrifice. Because they offered those sacrifices until the arrival of the perfect Sacrifice, the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God, of Jesus Christ; but until then, they had to have the type and figure of the Sacrifice of Christ, which they had in those sacrifices that they offered to God. Christ was reflected there.

And now, when the disciples of Jesus Christ hear John the Baptist say: “Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world,” and he is pointing, not to an animal but to a Man: to Jesus of Nazareth, they were clearly seeing the Lamb of God there, which would take away the sin of the world, and the One who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and Fire, whose way John the Baptist was preparing. He was the One anointed by God, He was the Christ (Christ means ‘anointed One’) and He was there among them.

And when Christ asked His disciples: “Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?” the disciples of Jesus Christ started to say: “Some say that You are John the Baptist who has risen; others think that You are Elijah; and others think that You are a prophet or one of the prophets,” that is to say, one of the prophets who has risen.

And Christ asks His disciples: “And you, whom do you say that I, the Son of man, am?” Peter tells Him: “You?! You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!” Peter had the revelation from Heaven of who Jesus was. And Jesus tells him: “Blessed are you Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood have not revealed it to you, but My Father which is in Heaven.”¹

And now, notice that Peter had the knowledge of who that young carpenter of Nazareth, named Jesus, was; he knew that He was the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And now, notice how the First Coming of Christ, which was promised in different prophecies, in different types and figures (such as the animal ones—It was also reflected there), and It was also promised through different parables in the Old Testament, we find that the Coming of the Messiah was prophesied this way.

But when It was fulfilled, seeing all those prophecies fulfilled in this young carpenter of Nazareth, in this construction worker named Jesus, was a great blessing, they were blessed: “Blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”

And now, in [Matthew] chapter 11 it also speaks about the blessing of understanding the things they were understanding. In chapter 11, verses 25 to 27, it says:

“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.”

Which things were hidden? The First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Messiah, of the King of Israel, fulfilled in that construction worker, that young carpenter, named Jesus of Nazareth.

No theologian had in mind, it didn’t cross his mind, it never crossed the mind of any theologian among the Hebrew people that the First Coming of the Messiah would be fulfilled in a construction worker; that wasn’t on the mind of the theologians of that time, nor the high priest, nor any of the members of the Council of the Hebrew religion (the Sanhedrin Council, made up of seventy Hebrew scholars, doctors of theology).

And now, notice, it wasn’t on their minds, but where was it? In God’s Mind.

And now the Maker of the whole universe, its Designer and Maker, now comes as a simple carpenter, as a construction worker, an ordinary worker.

Now, despite coming in that simple way, those simple people: fishermen, farmers, and people like that, were able to see that this simple young man, this construction worker, was the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah. He came in a simple way and He was received by simple people.

And now, notice what Jesus goes on to say here:

“Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”

Jesus Christ was revealing the Father, the Father was manifested in human flesh in the Person of Jesus of Nazareth; and Christ was making known to them this manifestation of the Heavenly Father, of God, the Angel of the Covenant, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, manifested in human flesh in the Person of Jesus; and Jesus Christ was making known to the people that manifestation of God in human flesh in all His fullness in Himself, meaning, in Jesus of Nazareth.

“And no man could know who the Son is, but the Father; and no man could know who the Father is, but the Son; and he to whom the Son will reveal Him,” said Jesus. And He was revealing Him to His disciples, to all those who came to Him and believed in Him. He was revealing to them the manifestation of the Father in human flesh in the Person of Jesus, He was revealing to them the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in human flesh, among the Hebrew people.

That manifestation of God in Holy Spirit in all His fullness in the Person of Jesus was the First Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, promised to appear on Earth according to the prophecies.

It says in Malachi chapter 3, verse 1 and on; it says:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me…”

That messenger was John the Baptist, whom the Prophet Isaiah tells us in chapter 40 [verse 3] is the voice of one crying in the wilderness; and when they asked John the Baptist who he was, he said that he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare or make straight the way of the Lord.”²

And now, this forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, being John the Baptist, testified that after him (after John the Baptist) would come the Messiah, the Christ, the One anointed with the Spirit of God in all His fullness, after John the Baptist would appear the Messiah; in other words, the next Prophet who would appear on the scene after John the Baptist would be the Messiah, the Christ, He would be the One forerun by John the Baptist.

John the Baptist said: “I knew Him not; but He that sent me to baptize told me: Upon whom you see the Holy Spirit descending like a dove, the same is He.” And he says: “And I saw It, I saw It descending upon Him like a dove.”³ That was when John the Baptist baptized Jesus. And John the Baptist said: “He is the One who will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with Fire.” Because John the Baptist was announcing that after him would come One whose shoe’s latchet he was not worthy to unloose, who would baptize them with the Holy Spirit and Fire.⁴

Who would receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire? The believers in the One forerun, the believers in Jesus of Nazareth.

The believers in John the Baptist, although they had believed in John, the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, and they had received him, and they had been baptized by John, despite all of that, they also had to receive the One forerun: Jesus; because otherwise, they would only be left with water baptism, but they would not receive the Holy Spirit; because the promise of receiving the Holy Spirit is for the believers in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And those who believed in Christ were in the upper room on the day of Pentecost, which were one hundred and twenty people,⁵ they received the Holy Spirit;⁶ some of them had been disciples of John the Baptist, but then they believed in Jesus Christ.⁷

Those who were disciples of John the Baptist but did not follow Jesus were not present on the day of Pentecost; therefore, they did not receive the Spirit of Christ. And then, if later on they didn’t believe in Christ as their Savior and wash away their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ, they couldn’t receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is for those who believe in Christ as our Savior and wash away their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

And the disciples of John the Baptist (until they believed in Jesus Christ) had not washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ, to then receive the Holy Spirit.

So, even though they had received the forerunner, the Elijah who would come at that time in his third manifestation: that was not enough for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

It was required that they receive Christ as our Savior, be a believer and follower of Christ, and wash away *their sins in the Blood of Christ, to then receive the Holy Spirit; and thus, have a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, so that then, at the Last Day (if the person has died in terms of his physical body), he may rise in an eternal body; but if he remains alive and sees the dead in Christ raised at the Last Day, well, that person who has believed in Christ as his Savior and has washed away his sins in the Blood of Christ, and has received His Holy Spirit, therefore has a theophanic body of the sixth dimension: he has been born again, he has been born into the Kingdom of God, he is a member of the mystical Body of Christ, of the Church of Jesus Christ, and therefore, he will be changed at this Last Day.

We will be changed in these—in our atoms, we will be changed in our atoms; and from a mortal body that we have, we will be changed into an immortal, incorruptible, and eternal body, to live with Christ for all eternity, being in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, notice how first we have received the mortal and corruptible body, and we also receive the spirit of the world when we are born in this earthly body; but then we have believed in Christ and we have been born again by receiving His Holy Spirit, and thus, we have received a new spirit, a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension.

And then, at the Last Day, we will receive the eternal body that He has promised for us; and this fulfills the Word that says: “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning.”⁸

In the “beginning” the human being has come in a mortal, corruptible, and temporary body, and he has come through the seed of the first Adam.

And now, through the Second Adam, Jesus Christ, “the end,” which is in and with Christ: He gives us a new theophanic body, a new theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension; and then, at the Last Day, he will give us a new body, an eternal body.

And thus, the end will be better than the beginning, because the end is unto Eternal Life; and therefore, in the end we receive a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, a theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension (when we believe in Christ and wash away our sins in the Blood of Christ upon receiving His Holy Spirit), and then, at the Last Day, we will receive the eternal body.

So, we can see that the end is carried out with the second Adam, who is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, notice how we have come to the end, we have become part of Christ as our Savior, to thus receive everything relevant to what Christ has promised for each one of us:

First, the theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension, where we obtain Eternal Life; so, we have passed from death unto Life, by believing in Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit.

And now, at the Last Day, we will receive a body with Eternal Life, an eternal body that He has promised for each of you and also for me, and for all the born-again believers in Christ of past ages.

And now, notice everything our beloved Lord Jesus Christ has done, the One who John the Baptist introduced as the Lamb of God that would take away the sin of the world; which He took away back then, with His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross. In reference to Him, it was said by the Prophet Malachi [3:1]:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me,” (meaning, John the Baptist prepared the way for Him, this was John the Baptist), he says, “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.”

Now, who would come after John the Baptist? The Messenger or Angel of the Covenant would come, the Angel of the Lord, the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. How would He come? He would come clothed in human flesh, He would come with a body of flesh, a human body, which was born in Bethlehem of Judea through the virgin Mary; and He grew up among the Hebrew people, and started His ministry when He was nearly thirty years old (that is, about twenty-nine and a half years old), and He finished it at the age of thirty-three, by carrying out His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross, and thus, taking away our sins.

Now notice, this is the Man who the disciples of Jesus Christ received and believed was the Messiah promised to the Hebrew people, the King of Israel. And He truly was! He truly is the King of Israel.

And now, notice how this great manifestation of the Angel of the Lord, of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is the same Angel of the Lord, and who is the same Lord, who is the same God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, notice, in chapter 1 of Saint John, it says:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” (meaning, the Logos, the Logos: the Word).

“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.”

Chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, of Saint John. And chapter 1, verse 9 to 10, says:

“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

Now, that true Light came into this world, the Word came into this world. How did He come into this world? Let’s see how the Word came into this world. In chapter 1, verse 14, of Saint John, it says:

“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.”

How would the Word, the Logos, come? How would God come? He would come in human flesh, He would come made flesh among the Hebrew people; which was fulfilled through the appearance of Jesus among the Hebrew people.

He was none other than the Word made flesh, He was none other than the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who is the Lord Himself. The same Lord in His theophanic body then clothed Himself in human flesh, and lived among the Hebrew people for thirty-three years, in that body of flesh, which died as the Sacrifice for sin on Calvary’s Cross.

Now, we can see who the Angel of the Covenant was, the Angel of the Lord, coming among the Hebrew people, whose way John the Baptist prepared. That was the great mystery that was manifested two thousand years ago among the Hebrew people.

And now, He says that there are wheat and tares in the field, and He shows that the wheat and the tares will grow together. And when the servants said: “Do you want us to go and gather up the tares?” He says: “No, because when you gather the tares, you might also root up the wheat.”

Look, for example, when people didn’t want to receive Christ in a place in Samaria (because Christ had to go to Jerusalem, but He wanted to make a stop there in Samaria, at a certain place), the disciples James and John said: “Do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven, as Elijah did? Do You want us to command fire from heaven to come down upon those people?” Christ said to them: “No, you know not what manner of spirit you are of.”⁹

Notice, if John and James destroy the inhabitants of that territory there, by commanding fire to come down from heaven, as Elijah did… who commanded fire to come down from heaven on some occasions when they sent people to bring him to the king, and the king sent an officer, a general or captain with fifty soldiers, to take him to the king, to arrest him and take him, Elijah said: “If I am a servant of God, a servant of the Lord, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume those fifty and their captain,” and that is what happened.¹⁰

And now, that is what James and John the Apostle wanted to do, but Jesus did not allow them to do it, for if they burned all those people there, notice, surely there were sons and daughters of God there, elect of God, wheat of God, and they could destroy the wheat together with the tares.

Now, Christ said: “Let both grow together: let the wheat and the tares grow together, until the time of harvest.” It says in [Matthew] chapter 13, verse 28 to 30; it says:

“He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?” (meaning, gather up the tares.)

“But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Let both grow together until the harvest,” (until the Harvest), “and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Now, in the time of the Harvest, the end time, comes the ministry that carries out the Harvest.

And now, notice, this is the ministry promised by Christ here in [Matthew] chapter 13, verses 39 to 41, where He says:

“The enemy that sowed them is the devil,” (the one who sowed the tares); “the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels…”

Now, notice that the ministry of the Angels of the Lord is the One that carries out the work of the Last Day, the work of the Harvest at the Last Day.

And now, notice, the tares will be bound in bundles and cast into the furnace of fire.

And what is the furnace of fire? Notice, they will be cast…

“And shall cast them,” (the tares), “into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”

Now, notice, the furnace of fire is what the Prophet Malachi says, in chapter 4, verse 1, where he says:

“For, 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.”

That is the furnace of fire. It is the Great Tribulation, where the Divine Judgment will fall upon the human race.

And now, what will happen to the wheat? It says:

“…But gather the wheat into my barn.”

In Malachi, chapter 4, verse 2, it goes on to say:

“But unto you 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 in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Now, notice how the tares will be burned; but the elect, those who fear the Name of the Lord, will be gathered, because they are the Lord’s wheat, and the Sun of Righteousness will rise unto them, which is the Second Coming of Christ.

Christ said: “I am the Light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life,”¹¹ meaning, the Light of Eternal Life.

And now, notice, unto those who fear the Name of the Lord, unto the elect, who are the wheat of the Kingdom of God: the Sun of Righteousness will rise. In other words, the Second Coming of Christ will be fulfilled like the rising of the sun: which starts shining in the East, and then shines more and more, until daylight, until the perfect day.

And on the Day of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Last Day or Lord’s Day, which is the seventh millennium: the Second Coming of Christ will begin to shine gradually, until It makes the day perfect, until It makes the seventh millennium perfect, with Its Light, and brings forth the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, where we will walk upon the ashes of the wicked.

And why will we walk upon the ashes of the wicked, upon the ashes of the tares? Because the tares, the wicked, will be burned during the Great Tribulation, with the fire that God mentions here, through the Prophet Malachi:

“For, 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.”

Now, notice, that fire is atomic fire; and there will also be volcanic fire; and there will also be fire from all these chemicals there are nowadays: gasoline, petroleum, and all these things that are explosive, that are flammable; all of that will explode; and along with the atomic explosions there will be during that war which will come during the Great Tribulation, we find that this will bring forth the day that will burn as an oven, and burn the wicked.

And now, notice that this is what it says will be for the wicked, for the tares; but for those who fear the Name of the Lord, which are the wheat, God’s sons and daughters, those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, the blessings of Christ will come.

And under the ministry of the Angels of the Lord Jesus Christ, all of God’s elect will be called and gathered, according to the promise of Christ in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 31, where it 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.”

Notice that the ministry of the Angels of the Lord Jesus Christ, the ministry of the Angels of the Son of man, is sent with the Great Sound of a Trumpet, which is with the Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, calling and gathering together all the elect of God.

The Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Claiming Work; and as the Sun of Righteousness shining in our hearts; and as the King promised to reign during the Millennium and for all eternity.

He is the white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19; that is Christ coming at the Last Day, and manifesting Himself at this Last Day. It is the Coming of Christ at the Last Day on a snow-white horse.

Now, when the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ spoke of this white-horse Rider of Revelation chapter 19, he said that white-horse Rider of Revelation 19 was the Holy Spirit. He said that on page 318 [paragraph 391] of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals.

And on page 295 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, he also said, referring to that white-horse Rider, he 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 Word, the Logos.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

And it says: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”¹²

And at the Last Day, the Word will become flesh, the Logos will become flesh; the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will come in human flesh manifested in the Angel-Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day; and that is the Coming of the white-horse Rider of Revelation 19, the Coming of the Holy Spirit, the Coming of Christ in Holy Spirit at the Last Day in His Angel-Messenger. That is what is promised to be manifested at the Last Day.

And the Holy Spirit, through human flesh, through His veil of flesh, through His Angel-Messenger, will be manifesting the ministries of the Angels of the Lord, the ministries of the Son of man with the Great Voice of Trumpet, the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

Those are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees of Revelation chapter 11, verses 3 to 7, and of Zechariah chapter 4. Those are the ministries that at the Last Day carry out the great Harvest, the Reaping, and gather the wheat (in other words, they gather God’s elect at this end time).

Now, where do they gather God’s elect? From age to age all of God’s elect have been called and gathered together, according to the words of Jesus Christ in Saint John chapter 10, verses 14 to 16, where He said:

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold,” (in other words, they are not of the Hebrew Fold, they are not of the Hebrew people), “them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

He says that they will hear His Voice, and there will be one Fold, and one Shepherd. Why will they hear His Voice? Because Christ said: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me,” (“because he that is of God, hears God’s Voice”),¹³ that is in Saint John chapter 10, verses 27 to 30.

And now, if Christ was here on Earth two thousand years ago, died, rose, and ascended to Heaven; and then we have not seen Him anymore in the body that He had two thousand years ago; how would Christ be calling or seeking those sheep among the Gentiles? How would it be happening? Well, notice, it would be Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through each of the messengers He sent in each age.

Through Saint Paul, He was calling and gathering His elect in the first age of the Gentile Church, there in Asia Minor. Saint Paul said: “I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me.”¹⁴ Christ was manifested in Holy Spirit in Saint Paul.

Christ had come down in Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and He was manifested among human beings; and he was calling and gathering His elect from age to age.

Through the apostles, there in the land of Israel He called and gathered the elect of the Hebrew people. And then, from age to age, He has been calling and gathering His elect from among the Gentiles; and every once in a while, a Hebrew or some Hebrews have come in too; because the mystical Body of Christ is made up of Gentiles and Hebrews as well; because out of both peoples He has been making one people,¹⁵ a mystical Body of believers, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And in order to be part of that mystical Body, that heavenly people: we believe in Christ as our Savior, wash away our sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit; because with and by one Spirit, we come into that mystical Body of believers.¹⁶

And now, notice how people have been coming in from age to age; and God has been manifesting Himself in Holy Spirit through each angel-messenger He has sent in each age.

Saint Paul was the first angel-messenger of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Gentiles, and that first stage or age was fulfilled in Asia Minor, and Christ spoke through Saint Paul in the language that Saint Paul spoke when he preached.

Then came the second age, and it was fulfilled in France, and the messenger was Irenaeus; and Jesus Christ was manifested in Holy Spirit through Irenaeus, calling and gathering His elect of that second age, calling and gathering His sheep of that second age.

Notice how the sheep of Jesus Christ would hear the Voice of Christ from age to age; and that is how it was from age to age through each of these messengers, in the territory where each of these ages was fulfilled.

The first age was fulfilled in Asia Minor; the second, third, fourth, and fifth, and sixth ages were fulfilled in Europe, in different European territories; and then the seventh was fulfilled in North America, where He sent Rev. William Branham, where the Spirit of Christ was manifested, and was operating the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time, and it was the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

And now, notice, He called and gathered His elect of the seventh stage or age of the Gentile Church.

Then there was a gap between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ was also manifested in that angel-messenger (the seventh angel-messenger), Rev. William Marrion Branham.

Then… Notice, those territories of Asia Minor, Europe, and North America, were covered during these seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church.

And now, in the Age of the Cornerstone, what happens? Well, Christ in Holy Spirit goes to Latin America and the Caribbean; and He sends His Angel-Messenger in Latin America and the Caribbean, and manifests Himself through him at the Last Day: Christ in Holy Spirit [is] manifested in His Angel-Messenger, calling and gathering His Latin American and Caribbean elect, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

See how simple the whole Program of Christ is? See how Christ would call and gather His sheep from age to age? He said that He had some sheep that were not of the Hebrew Fold, which He also had to bring. Where will He bring them? He must bring them to this mystical Body of believers, which is His mystical Body, which is His Church; and He said: “They shall hear My Voice; and there shall be one Fold, and one Shepherd.”

The sheep of Christ of the first age heard the Voice of Christ through Saint Paul; and the sheep of the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth ages heard It through these five messengers that Christ sent there in Europe, in different ages; and then, in North America, they heard the Voice of Christ through Rev. William Branham, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

And the Voice of Christ came through the ministry of each messenger; and the Voice of Christ, the Message of Christ, spread to different nations, through the work carried out by the ministers who stood hand in hand with the messenger that God sent for each age.

And that is also how it is in the Age of the Cornerstone; an age that is fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean, where Jesus Christ sends His Angel-Messenger to testify these things which must shortly come to pass; and thus, to make known to us all these mysteries of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and thus, to call and gather God’s elect of the Last Day, with what? With the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is the Message through which God’s elect, God’s wheat, are harvested, are gathered, at the Last Day, at the end of the world.

And then we find that the tares will be burned in the furnace of fire; in other words, the tares (the wicked ones) will be burned during the Great Tribulation, because the Divine Judgments will come upon the human race.

But the elect are called and gathered first, and they are put in the mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, at this Last Day. And that is the call Christ makes to His elect in Latin America and the Caribbean, through His Angel-Messenger, through whom He comes testifying all these things which must shortly come to pass.

Notice, this Voice of Christ as a Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet appears here in Revelation chapter 1, verses 10 to 11; and John the Apostle says:

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet…”

Now, on which day was it? On the Lord’s Day, which is the seventh millennium. “Because one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,” Saint Peter says in Second Peter chapter 3, verse 8, and the Prophet Moses says in Psalm 90, verse 4.

And now, that is the Lord’s Day: the seventh millennium, that is the Last Day. The Last Days are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium; and of the Last Days, the last one is the seventh millennium. The seventh millennium (notice) is the last of the Last Days before God. To God… one of God’s days is a thousand years to human beings.

And now, on the Lord’s Day, meaning, in the seventh millennium, at the Last Day, is when John hears the Voice of Christ as a Great Voice of Trumpet. He was transported to the Lord’s Day, in other words, to the seventh millennium, and He heard the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church:

“ Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”

Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Well, our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Voice of Jesus Christ at the Last Day speaking to His Church through His Angel-Messenger, with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

In Revelation chapter 4, verse 1, John also heard the Voice of Christ as a trumpet. It says:

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven…”

Christ is the Door, remember that. And when Christ, the Seventh Seal, is opened in Heaven in chapter 8, there we have the Door opened in Heaven: It is the Seventh Seal, the Second Coming of Christ.

“…And the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

And now, notice, the promise is: “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.”

Now, where do we have to go up to? Because we all want to hear these things which must shortly come to pass.

If we were living in the time of Saint Paul, we would have had to go up to this first age to hear the Voice of Christ through Saint Paul. If we were living in the second age, we would have had to go up to this second age to hear the Voice of Christ through Irenaeus.

And likewise, if we were living in one of these seven ages, we would have had to go up to that age to hear the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Holy Spirit through the messenger of that age; and we would be in the territory of that messenger, we would be part of that territory, and we would hear the Voice of Christ in the language of that messenger.

But notice, the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church have already passed, and now Christ says: “Come up hither,” (here, in the Age of the Cornerstone), “and I will show thee things which must be hereafter,” in other words, the things that must happen after all these things that have already happened during these seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church.

Now Christ is going to show us the things that must happen in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom. He is going to show us the things that must happen at the Last Day, in other words, on the Lord’s Day, in the seventh millennium; and this is through a dispensational prophet.

Notice, Christ said: “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.” And now, let’s see through whom all these things which must shortly be done are made known, because through whomever these things are made known, Jesus Christ will be manifested [in him] in Holy Spirit, making known to us these things which must shortly be done. That Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of Christ, will be there, speaking to us these things which must shortly be done; because He has always had an instrument here on Earth to manifest Himself through him and speak to His people, and make known to them what they must know at that time, in that age.

And now, in Revelation chapter 22, verse 6, it says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel,” whom has He sent? His Angel. Let’s see what for: “to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Why has He sent His Angel-Messenger? To show His servants the things which must shortly be done. Through the Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ, we obtain the knowledge of all these things which must shortly be done here in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, at the Last Day, meaning, in the seventh millennium. There is no other way to understand these things which must shortly be done, except through the Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ.

Notice, it says that He has sent His Angel. It doesn’t say that He has sent many preachers, it doesn’t say that He has sent many people to make these things known, but that He has sent His Angel-Messenger.

His Angel-Messenger is the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, he is a prophet, he comes making known the things that will happen. That is what God’s prophets do when they are sent: they prophesy, they make known the things that will happen, and the things that are already happening, and the things that happened in past times.

And now, notice how Christ says through whom all these things which must shortly be done, will be made known; because just as Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit came in each age manifested in the angel-messenger of each age, likewise, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit comes manifested in His Angel-Messenger, making known to us—through him—all these things which must shortly be done.

And with that Message, with which He makes known to us all these things which must shortly be done, He calls and brings together and gathers—He calls and gathers His elect at the Last Day; He calls them and gathers them, where? In the Age of the Cornerstone, in the mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ (meaning, in this part of the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Fold of the Good Shepherd).

Because this is the Lord’s Fold, the mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, represented in this diagram.¹⁷

And now, every elect of God, every sheep of God, in the age in which he has been given to live, was gathered, was put in the Lord’s Fold, in the age in which he was given to live. Through the messenger for that age, Christ, the Good Shepherd called those sheep and put them in His mystical Body of believers.

And now, the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, through His Angel-Messenger, calls and gathers His Latin American and Caribbean sheep. This is the call of the Good Shepherd, of Jesus Christ, at this Last Day, to call and gather His Sheep, His elect, His last sheep, so that the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ is completed, so that the mystical Body of Christ is completed at this Last Day; and thus, so that the gathering of the Lord’s wheat takes place, in the Harvest, the Reaping, the Harvest at the end of the world, [the time] in which we are living.

We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE HARVEST AT THE END OF THE WORLD,” and we have seen which stage the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ would be in.

Just as a wheat plant has different stages, and that little wheat seed that was sown sprouts. And when it sprouts, notice, the harvest is not carried out the moment that little wheat plant sprouts, because what will be harvested if the harvest is carried out then? Well, what will be harvested is that little plant, but without wheat; although, that little wheat plant potentially has all the wheat that will be harvested in the harvest time; but since it’s in that initial stage, the crop cannot be harvested.

And that is why the laborers were forbidden to gather up the tares among the field: because they would also root up the wheat (along with the tares), they would root up those wheat plants, which didn’t have the wheat grains yet, and the wheat grain or wheat grains in that plant had not ripened yet.

But in the stage of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone, is when the great Harvest of God’s sons and daughters takes place; where they are called and gathered, and put in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, to thus receive the faith, the revelation to be changed and raptured, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work; and thus, to be prepared to be changed and raptured at this Last Day.

Now, notice why at this Last Day He puts us in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age of the top of the Bride-Tree, the top of the wheat plant, where the wheat ripens through the Light it is given by the summer Sun. The Light of the summer Sun, the Light of the Sun of the Coming of the Kingdom of God, ripens the wheat at the Last Day; It brings us to maturity so that we may be changed and raptured at this Last Day.

Now, we are harvested and put in the Age of the Cornerstone, that is a stage of the Harvest; but then we are changed and we are put in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, at the Last Day.

Now, notice how this whole stage of the time of the Harvest… which pertains to the summertime, because in the summertime is when the harvest takes place, and in the summertime is when the Coming of the Kingdom of God takes place.

That is why when Christ spoke of the Coming of the Kingdom of God, He told us that when we see all these things come to pass… He says, notice, let’s read here. [Luke] chapter 21, verses 27 to 32, says:

“And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh,” (in other words, ‘your redemption’ is the transformation of our bodies and the resurrection of the dead in Christ).

“And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.”

Now, notice what it says about summer:

“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.”

Notice, here Christ says that ‘summer is at hand’ means the Kingdom of God is at hand.

And now, notice, He says:

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”

And verse… He goes on to say in verses 34 to 36:

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,” (in other words, to escape the Divine Judgments), “and to stand before the Son of man.”

Now, notice that at the end time, in the summertime, in the time of the Coming of the Kingdom of God (which was also represented on Mount Transfiguration, where the Coming of the Kingdom of God was seen, and the Son of man was seen coming in the Kingdom of God, and Coming with His Angels, coming with Moses and Elijah), at the Last Day: the Coming of Christ in Holy Spirit with the ministries of Moses and Elijah, will be manifested on this Earth in His Angel-Messenger.

And that speaks of the Last Day, it speaks of the end of the world, it speaks of the time of Reaping, of Harvest, under the ministry of the Angels of Christ, under the ministry of Moses and Elijah, who, with the Great Voice of Trumpet, in other words, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, will call all of God’s elect.

Where? In the territory pertaining to the Last Day, which is the Latin American and Caribbean territory; where all of God’s elect are called and gathered, and put in the mystical body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

We have reached the end time, we have reached the time that in the Scripture pertains to the summertime, the time of the Coming of the Kingdom of God, the time appointed as the end of the world, which is the Harvest time; when God calls and gathers His elect at this Last Day, to receive the faith to be changed and raptured, and to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and for the dead in Christ to be raised in incorruptible bodies.

We have reached the time of the Harvest, because we have reached the time of the end of the world, and we have reached the time of the Last Day, of the seventh millennium, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind. If we add them, then we are already in the seventh millennium, which is the Last Day, which is the Lord’s Day.

We have reached the most glorious time of all times, we have reached the end of the world, we have reached the time of the Harvest, the time of the gathering of all the elect of God, through the manifestation of Jesus Christ through His Angel-Messenger, manifesting the ministries of Moses and Elijah in His Angel-Messenger.

We have reached the time of the manifestation of the ministry of Jesus for the second time too; we have reached the time of the manifestation of the Son of man at the Last Day, to stand before the Son of man, to stand before the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, at this end time. We have reached the time of the Harvest at the end of the world, and we have seen this mystery pertaining to the end of the world.

In Revelation chapter 14, verses 14 to 16, it tells us:

“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.”

Now, notice that this is for the Harvest time, the time in which the harvest ripens; and the elect, the wheat, are harvested at this Last Day; when all of God’s elect are called and gathered and put in the mystical Body of Christ, in the wheat garner, where Christ has ordered to put all of His believers who have washed away their sins in the Blood of the Lamb.

Upon receiving the Spirit of Christ, they are put in the Lord’s Fold, there in the Lord’s garner, each person in the age in which he is given to live; and we have been given to live at this Last Day, in the time of the Harvest at the end of the world.

It has been a great privilege to be with you tonight, testifying to you about: “THE MYSTERY OF THE HARVEST AT THE END OF THE WORLD.”

And where are the ones who would be harvested at this Last Day? Here we are: in Latin America and the Caribbean, being called and gathered and put in the mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, to soon be changed and raptured and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and also upon me; and soon may the number of God’s elect be completed, and may they be put in the mystical Body of Christ; and soon may the dead in Christ be raised, and we who are alive be changed. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, beloved friends and brethren present, radio listeners and television viewers; and have a good evening, everyone.

I will leave Rev. William Sibaja with us again, to continue and conclude this service on this occasion, by thanking God and singing a song to then conclude.

May God bless you and keep you all. And we will see each other tomorrow evening in San José, Costa Rica, for those who will be present there.

May God bless you and keep you all.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE HARVEST AT THE END OF THE WORLD.”
