Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great blessing and a great privilege for me to be with you here tonight, in the Colonia Libertadores de America, here in Monterrey, Mexico, to share a few moments of fellowship around the Word of God, and to see this very important topic that you have for this occasion:
“THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY.”
This is one of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, which, on this occasion, tonight, we are going to see in detail around or throughout the Scripture, to have a clear knowledge of this mystery that for the Last Day would be manifested in the midst of the people of God.
For that I want to read in Revelation, chapter 11, where it tells us as follows; it says, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, it says:
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”
And they appear in Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 1 and on; it says:
“And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
Here we have what we also find in Revelation, chapter 11: The Two Anointed Ones who stand before the God of the whole Earth.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY.”
These ministries of Moses and Elijah, promised to be manifested in the Last Day as the Two Olive Trees and the Two golden Candlesticks that stand before the presence of God, we find that they are ordained by God to be manifested in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Day; for here, in the prophecy of Zechariah, in chapter 4, look, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ appears here represented in this lamp that has these seven lamps; and next to the candelabrum or candlestick that has these seven lamps, we find that there are the two olive trees, one on each side.
Now, we find that during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church, the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, wasn’t manifested. Although the ministry of Moses was manifested during the Dispensation of the Law: At the beginning of the Dispensation of the Law God sent him for the deliverance of the Hebrew people, and to give, through the prophet Moses, the Message of the Law to the Hebrew people, and to lead them to the promised land.
He gave inheritance to two tribes of the tribes of Israel before crossing the Jordan1; and then, on the other side of the Jordan, it was Joshua who took the people and divided the promised land on the other side of the Jordan; but Moses divided the land on the other side of the Jordan to two of the tribes before the crossing of the Jordan.
And now, those tribes are Reuben and Manasseh.
Now, we find that this ministry was seen at the beginning of the Dispensation of the Law.
And after that we find that Jesus Christ came with a ministry like that of Moses and with a ministry like that of Adam, because He was the second Adam; and with a ministry like that of Seth and with a ministry like that of Noah also; because He appeared as a dispensational messenger, to open a new dispensation, the Dispensation of Grace; which was opened by Jesus Christ in His Work of Redemption as the Lamb of God and as High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek.
Then, the ministry of Elijah was seen in Elijah the Tishbite, in the midst of the Hebrew people. Then, for the second time, that ministry was seen again in another man: Elisha, was manifested in him in a double portion.
The sons of the prophets, when they saw Elisha the prophet opening the Jordan with Elijah’s mantle, as Elijah had done, said: “The spirit of Elijah has rested upon Elisha.”2
It is very important to see upon whom the ministry of Elijah has always rested, in the time when that ministry is being manifested. And also to see the ministry of Moses when it rests upon a man in the Last Day.
And now, the third occasion in which we saw the ministry of Elijah resting upon another man was in John the Baptist; of whom Christ testified that he was the Elijah who was to come at that time, as He tells us in Matthew, chapter 11 and verse 14, where He speaks of John the Baptist as the Elijah who was to come at that time, to convert the hearts of the fathers to the faith of the apostles, that is, to the Christian faith, and thus prepare a people to receive the Messiah at His First Coming.
Then, you see, the ministry of Elijah was seen manifested during the Dispensation of the Law on three occasions: In Elijah the Tishbite, in Elisha and in John the Baptist.
John the Baptist was the last prophet of the prophets of the Dispensation of the Law. And Jesus, the greater prophet, the dispensational prophet of the Dispensation of Grace, who appeared when the time came for His Coming; to whom John the Baptist prepared the way and said that after him would come the Messiah, one greater than him would come3; because when a dispensational prophet comes, he is greater than the prophet of age who precedes him and who prepares the way for him.
Now, we find that later on, the ministry of Elijah, since it was promised to be manifested before the great and terrible day of the Lord, that is, before the seventh millennium, before the Lord’s Day or Last Day, we find it (that ministry) manifested in the Reverend William Marrion Branham, forerunning the Second Coming of Christ.
And we find that it came with a new name; in other words, Elijah in his fourth manifestation had the name of William Marrion Branham, the veil of flesh, but the ministry was called Elijah.
As also in John the Baptist it came with a new name: John. That was the name of the veil of flesh, but the ministry was called Elijah. And when it came in Elisha, the veil of flesh was called Elisha, but the ministry was called Elijah.
It was the ministerial spirit of Elijah in Elisha, in John the Baptist and in William Marrion Branham. And it is promised to be manifested again in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, and in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Now, look how the ministry of Elijah travels through three dispensations. The ministry of Elijah traveled through the Dispensation of the Law three times, Elijah the Tishbite, Elisha and John the Baptist traveled the ministerial path; and in the Dispensation of Grace it travels it only once, in William Marrion Branham.
Now look how the ministry of Elijah goes through the House of God, through the Temple of God:
• it was in the Outer Court, under the Dispensation of the Law, in three manifestations;
• it was in the Holy Place in a manifestation: in William Marrion Branham;
• and it will be in the Most Holy Place, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; there He will be for the fifth time; and there it will have the name of the veil of flesh where that ministry is manifested, in other words, it will have the name of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, see how that ministry goes through the whole House of God, it goes through the Outer Court, it goes through the Holy Place until it reaches the Most Holy Place.
This was shown, do you know where? When Elijah the Tishbite was in the midst of the Hebrew people, he was working in the midst of the Hebrew people, and then we find that he went to Mount Sinai, where God had appeared to the prophet Moses.
That mountain there, with that manifestation of God, where Moses was there without eating or drinking for forty days,4 represents the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven and the Most Holy Place of the Temple of Jesus Christ, that is, of His Church; and Elijah the Tishbite reached Mount Sinai, Mount Horeb, and there he was in a cave until God spoke to him.
Now, see how this ministry was in the Dispensation of the Law, which is the fifth dispensation, then it was in the sixth dispensation, the Dispensation of Grace, at the end of that dispensation.
See how also at the end of the Dispensation of the Law this ministry appeared in John the Baptist; then, at the end of the Dispensation of Grace, it appeared in the Reverend William Marrion Branham, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.
And for the Last Day we have the promise that it will appear again in human flesh in a new dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and in a new age, the Age of the Cornerstone (up here).
See how he has gone from the Outer Court to the Holy Place until he arrives at the Most Holy Place. And the ministry that reaches there is to be adopted, he receives his adoption there.
And the ministry of Moses, see how he was in the Outer Court, under the Dispensation of the Law. And if we count the ministry of Christ as a ministry similar to that of Moses, and we place it as the second manifestation of the ministry of Moses (being a dispensational ministry and a messianic ministry), then, you see, we find it in a new dispensation: The Dispensation of Grace. And then, for the Last Day, it passes into the Dispensation of the Kingdom and into the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
And that is why those ministries obtain all power and authority from God, to fulfill under those ministries the promise of Revelation, chapter 2, verse 26: “To him that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end…,” Christ Himself says in Revelation, chapter 2. Let’s see here, it says:
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
And I will give him the morning star.”
Now, see how under these ministries of Moses and Elijah this promise is fulfilled. These ministries in Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, obtain power and authority even over all nature, because they are ministries that are adopted in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
That is why those ministries were represented in the most holy place, in the two golden cherubim that were over the mercy seat, in the midst of which was the glory of God, the Shekinah manifested; the presence of God was there, and from there He spoke to Moses all things pertaining to the Hebrew people, as it says in the book of Exodus, chapter 25, verse 21 to 22, where it says:
“And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”
From where did God speak to Moses all that He commanded for the Hebrew people when Moses set up the tabernacle? From then on God spoke to Moses from the most holy place, from above the mercy seat, from between the two golden cherubim.
Moses entered the most holy place whenever God wanted to speak with him, or Moses wanted to speak with God; that is, Moses could enter at any time of the year; but not so the high priest, who could only enter once a year, on the day of atonement, the tenth day of the seventh month, and he entered with the blood of the goat that was sacrificed in the atonement offered for the reconciliation of the Hebrew people with God.
Now, notice how also King Solomon when he built the temple, the Scripture tells us in chapter 6 of First Kings, it says as follows: Chapter 6, verse 23 and on, it says:
“And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.”
That is about 14 feet 4 inches,5 more or less. So they were about how high? About from here to the ceiling. Of olive wood, overlaid with gold. It speaks there of two cherubim, the two cherubim that in the spiritual Temple of Christ would be in the Last Day, which are Moses and Elijah, the ministries of Moses and Elijah in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, in other words, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
That is why the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, are promised in Revelation for when? For the Last Day; and they will have to do with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the Hebrew people, because they are placed in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, that is, in the Age of the Cornerstone of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And he goes on to say:
“And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub…”
In other words, each wing being 5 cubits: 5 cubits one wing and 5 cubits the other wing, it is 10 cubits; and how high are they? 10 cubits too.
Now, he goes on to say:
“…from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.”
In other words, it was 10 high by 10 wide when it spread out its wings. And how large was the most holy place of the temple that Solomon made? It was 20 cubits wide; in other words, it covered the whole most holy place.
Now, let’s see, there was no room for another manifestation there. And they are also represented in the two small golden cherubim, which are on the mercy seat. In other words, that speaks that it has to be that way in the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
Now, let’s see, it says:
“And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.”
Now, here, you see, He also made two doors, made of olive wood too, also giving testimony of the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of the Two Olive Trees.
Now, notice how the ministry of the Two Olive Trees is in the Most Holy Place; and that is the ministry pertaining to the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want to read something here, in verse 20 of this same chapter. Chapter 6 of First Kings, it says:
“And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof…”
How far did the cherubim reach? Up to the ceiling, and to the width also. And notice that this place, the most holy place, was 20 cubits high, 20 cubits wide, and 20 cubits long; it was square, a little square place. And 20 cubits is how much? Let’s see, 28.8. Let’s see, more or less… 28 feet 8 inches, more or less, on each side.
And there, you see, the ark of the covenant and the two golden cherubim were there on the mercy seat; and the two giant cherubim, which covered from the floor to the ceiling, and from one wall to the other wall.
And under the wings of the two cherubim was the ark of the covenant; and upon the mercy seat, which was upon the ark of the covenant, were two cherubim of gold; and in the midst of the two cherubim of gold, upon the mercy seat, who was there? There was God, there was God in the light of the Shekinah manifested; for that is the resting place of God, that is the throne of God in the temple that Solomon made and in the tabernacle that Moses made.
And in the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is the Throne of God; that is where God will be manifested in all His fullness in the Last Day; where, when the squeeze comes, God will raise a standard against the enemy.
Now, that manifestation of God, of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord (which is Christ Himself in His theophanic body), in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, comes to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in human flesh, comes in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and there will be the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ, manifested on His Throne, on the Throne of His spiritual Temple.
And see how God has been manifesting in human beings all that is in the tabernacle that Moses made and the temple that Solomon made, and all that is in Heaven.
See how, in the spiritual Temple of Christ, God has been materializing it in human beings and with human beings, until reaching the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
Now, look how He materialized the holy place, how He materialized the candelabrum that was there with its seven lamps: they were materialized with human beings in the seven ages of the gentile Church, with the seven angel messengers and the elect of those seven ages or stages of the gentile Church.
To see the seven ages, and the elect of the seven ages, and the messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church, is to be seeing what, in the spiritual Temple of Christ? It is to be seeing the golden candelabrum or candlestick with its seven lighted lamps.
Do you see how simple everything is? Do you see how in all the things placed in the tabernacle that Moses made and the temple that Solomon made, God was representing His Church and all the members of His Mystical Body of believers?
Now, where was Saint Paul and his group in the candlestick? In the first lamp, there is Saint Paul and his group represented; and they were where? In the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ.
Where was the second angel messenger with his group represented? In the second lamp of the candlestick; the second lamp lit was the second age lit with the Fire of the Holy Spirit, where the angel messenger of the second age was lit with the Fire of the Holy Spirit.
And when we see the seven ages of the gentile Church, we are seeing what? The golden candlestick or candelabrum with its seven lamps burning.
And now, see how everything that was in the tabernacle built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon has been materializing in human beings.
That is why the prophet Moses took of the blood of the sacrifices, put it in a vessel, took a hyssop, and sprinkled it seven times upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon the whole holy place; and sprinkled it also upon the book, and sprinkled it, watch, Saint Paul says… Let’s see, in Hebrews, chapter 9, it speaks of these things, it says… let’s see… chapter 9, verse 16 onwards, it says:
“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these…”
See? The figures of heavenly things, where were they? There in the tabernacle, in those forms that were established there. And all that represented the things that are in the Temple, in Heaven, and represent all the members of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, which are the members of the heavenly Temple.
And now, the heavenly things themselves have been sprinkled with the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we have washed away our sins in the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and He has made us unto our God kings and priests,6 and we shall rule with Christ for a thousand years and then for all eternity.
“It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these (that is, with the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His Blood).
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true…”
Verse 1 of chapter 10, it says…
Well, let’s keep reading here. It says:
“Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
In other words, He will not come a second time to take away sin, because He already did that at His First Coming.
[Hebrews 10:1] “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.”
Notice, everything in the Old Testament was type and figure of what Christ would do in His First Coming and then in His Second Coming.
And now, we have seen that the members of the Mystical Body of Christ, which are represented in the Temple which is in Heaven and also represented in the types and figures in the tabernacle of Moses and in the temple of Solomon, have been washed with the Blood of Jesus Christ, they have been sprinkled with the Blood of Jesus Christ to remove sin, to be purified and offered to God, to be dedicated to God for the service of God for all eternity, and for the indwelling of God in Spirit in each one of us, first in the first fruits of the Spirit, and then in all His fullness in the Last Day, when the dead in Christ resurrect and we who are alive are changed, and be filled with the fullness of God.
Now, we have seen that for the Last Day the part that corresponds in the Temple of God which is in Heaven, is the part represented, in the temple that Moses built and the temple that Solomon built, the part of the Most Holy Place.
We are in the part of the Most Holy Place; and therefore, the ministries corresponding to the Age of the Cornerstone are the ministries of Moses and Elijah; and in the center the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ manifested in the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Look where the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels is represented: It is represented in the most holy place, over the ark of the covenant, over the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim; for the two cherubim are the representation of the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Angels who come with the Son of Man in His Coming to His Temple; because the Coming of the Son of Man is to His Church, to His Temple, to the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple; and He comes with His Angels, with Moses and Elijah, with the Two Olive Trees, on the Last Day; as it was also represented in Zechariah, chapter… or Malachi, chapter 4, verse 2, where it says: “Unto them that fear my Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise, and in His wings shall bring salvation.”
The wings of the Sun of Righteousness are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of the Two golden Candlesticks, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man, who come with the Great Voice of Trumpet, that is, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, calling and gathering the elect of God, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to receive the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured in this Last Day; receive the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, to obtain then the transformation of our bodies (we who are alive), and those who have rested, have slept, to be resurrected in incorruptible bodies.
Now, notice where we are in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ: we are in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, where He is materializing with human beings the most holy place of the temple built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon.
The representation of the Temple that is in Heaven is no longer the temple or tabernacle built by Moses, nor is it the temple built by Solomon; because those temples no longer exist. But there is a Temple that represents the Temple that is in Heaven, and that Temple has been built by our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. That Temple is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And in this Last Day will come to the conclusion of the construction of that Temple, to be dedicated to God, to be the dwelling place of God in the Holy Spirit in all His fullness.
Now, where will God dwell in that Temple? As individuals: in every son and daughter of God; but as an age: in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age that represents the Most Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven. Therefore, all things that are in the Temple which is in Heaven, will be represented in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why the Book that is in the right hand of Him who sits on the Throne, in the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven, is taken by Christ, is opened in Heaven and is brought to Earth to His Church, to the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and is placed there.
And notice, as it is placed there, Christ holding it in His hand and sitting in the Most Holy Place, He also says:7 “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 (where?) in his throne.”
Now, the same thing that is in Heaven, and the same thing that Christ did in Heaven when He ascended, that He sat on the Throne there in Heaven… And that is why He takes the Book from Him that sits on the Throne, and opens it, and brings it to Earth; and He comes to dwell in His spiritual Temple, in His Church, in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and He sits on His Throne; and whoever sits with Him on His Throne will also have the blessing of being there receiving the little Book that was in Heaven, and that nobody could take it and nobody could open it, but then it is brought to Earth and given to a man.
John the apostle represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and His angel messengers: he represents Saint Paul, he represents Saint Paul with the Saint Paul group, he also represents Irenaeus with the group of that second age, he represents Martin with the group of the third age, he represents Columba with the group of the fourth age, he represents Luther with the group of the fifth age, he represents Wesley with the group of the sixth age, he represents William Marrion Branham with the group of the seventh age, and he represents the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ with the group of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And it is in the Age of the Cornerstone where Christ brings that little Book open in His hand and delivers it to the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone. And it is placed on the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is placed in the Most Holy Place; because that is a Book that in Heaven is in the Most Holy Place, and it can’t pass to another place, but to the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
And so, look, the One who sat with the Father on His Throne is the one who takes the Book there in Heaven; and the Overcomer who sits with Christ on His Throne, is the one who receives from Christ the little Book already opened. What for? It says… represented here in John the apostle, notice how the Voice from Heaven says here. It says, Revelation, chapter 10, verse 8 and on, it says:
“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the one that receives this little Book and eats it in the Last Day, is the one that has the ministry of the Last Day, the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, and the ministry of Jesus, to prophesy over many peoples, nations and tongues, the things that shall come upon many peoples, nations and tongues in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium; and he will be prophesying about the divine judgments that will come upon many peoples, nations and tongues; and he will also be prophesying about the blessings of Christ that will come upon the elect of God, and also upon nations in the Last Day, such as the Latin American and Caribbean nations.
Now, why is it that the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be able to prophesy of the things to come? Because it was said:8 “Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which shall be hereafter.”
Going up to the Age of the Cornerstone, there we hear the Voice of Christ as a Great Voice of Trumpet through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must shortly be done.
Revelation 22, verse 6, says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew (manifest) unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Why has He sent His Angel? To show His servants the things that must happen soon. This Angel Messenger is a prophet, because He comes showing the things that must shortly be done, He comes prophesying the things that must happen soon; and if he comes prophesying the things that must happen soon, he is a prophet, he is a seer; and that is the seer or prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone.
That is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ who eats that little Book and prophesies over many peoples, nations and tongues. It is the Angel Messenger that makes known to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ all these things that must come to pass soon. It is the Angel Messenger in which the ministries of Moses and Elijah will be manifested in this Last Day, and will be carrying out the Work promised for these ministries in the Last Day.
And there will also be the ministry of Christ, of Jesus, in the Angel of Jesus, being manifested in the fulfillment of what has been promised in relation to the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels for the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; age which is carried out in Latin America and the Caribbean, just as the first age was carried out in Asia Minor, the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth in Europe, in different territories, and the seventh in North America.
And the Age of the Cornerstone: In Latin America and the Caribbean; where God builds the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, and where what is in the Most Holy Place of the Temple in Heaven materializes in the Church of Jesus Christ.
Notice where is the representation of the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven: it is in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, being fulfilled that part of the Temple in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Notice where is the representation of the Most Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven: it is in Latin America and the Caribbean.
That is why for Latin America and the Caribbean there are great blessings in the Divine Program, in the construction of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is why through the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom these things are made known to the Latin American and Caribbean people, so that they may receive these divine blessings that God has for Latin America and the Caribbean and its inhabitants, from among whom God is taking for His Name and for His spiritual Temple, for the Most Holy Place of His Temple, people for His Name9; people who are living stones, to be part of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, under the ministry of the Son of Man at His Coming with His Angels, with the Two Olive Trees, with Moses on one side and Elijah on the other side, and the ministry of Jesus in the center; and the ministry of the Son of Man with the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of the Two Olive Trees, on the Last Day, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ.
We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY.”
Did you see how simple everything is? Did you see how God represented, typified, all this there in the most holy place of the temple built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon? Why? Because God would be materializing this in the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ; that was the type and figure.
And now, what would be in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? What would be there would be the very image of that which was typified. What comes first? Apparently the symbol comes first, but the symbol can’t appear if there is not something real to take that symbol; so that which is eternal comes first; and the types and figures, the symbols, are temporary, in which that which is eternal is materialized.
And that which is eternal, that which was represented there, notice, has the antitype. Do you know what the antitype is? The antitype is that from which that symbol was taken. That is to say, the real is the antitype; that is to say, it is the very image of that which was represented. Because a symbol has an image, just as… because the symbol is the shadow, it is the type and figure.
Just as, if you look over here, you see a shadow here, and it is the shadow of my hand; that is the type, that is the shadow, the type and figure of this hand.
Now, where did that shadow, that type and figure appear from? From this hand. This is the real thing, that is temporary.
As…, you see, it looks big, but as you get closer, the shadow becomes smaller; until the reality is united with the shadow and you no longer see the shadow, but the reality. What you have to see is the antitype, that is, what you have to be seeing when it is fulfilled, when it becomes a reality, what you have to be seeing is the image, the very image of that which projected that shadow.
There was an image, something real that was projected in a shadow; but when that something real comes, the shadow disappears, because the real is placed over the shadow; and you no longer see the shadow, but you see the image itself, what is real; and you can see that everything that shadow did is what the image itself of that shadow would do or does. The very image of the shadow is what is real, the shadow is temporary.
You can’t take the shadow, you can’t stay with the shadow, because that is temporary; but when you manage to get the very image of that shadow, you can touch it. You can touch, you can say: “This is real, this is not a shadow,” but it cast a shadow when it came.
Just like when a person comes walking and it is sunny; or it is night and there is light on, and you begin to see a shadow; you say: “There is someone coming.” And you observe well the shadow and you say if it is the shadow of a person or of an animal. Why? Because you know what an animal looks like and what a person looks like. If you see two arms and two feet, you say it is what? A person coming walking. But when the person comes, you look and you don’t have to look at the shadow anymore; you look at the person himself. And that is to be seeing face to face what had been represented in that shadow.
And everything that has been represented in the types and figures, when those types and figures are fulfilled, people can see face to face what had been shown in the shadow, in the types and figures.
For example, when it was given to the Hebrew people, the sacrifices of little animals, of goats and sheep and lambs, which represented Christ in His First Coming, they were looking as in a mirror in darkness during the Dispensation of the Law; because they were looking at those types and figures; although they were looking at some literal animals, but those were type and figure, they were a shadow of Christ, of the Lamb of God who would come and take away the sin of the world.
But when Christ appeared, John said: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world,”10 They were seeing the very image of that which before was a shadow. They were seeing (how?) face to face the Lamb of God. And when they saw Him face to face it was a man, it was the Messiah in His First Coming.
Now, they weren’t seeing a little animal, they weren’t seeing a little lamb, but a man, which had been represented in a little lamb, in the Passover lamb and also in the goat of atonement, and in all the sacrifices that the Hebrew people carried out.
So it is also with the promise of the Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. In the fulfillment of His Coming the people will be seeing face to face, and will be seeing the Lion of the tribe of Judah personified in human flesh; and they will not be seeing a literal lion, but they will be seeing the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh, in the manifestation of Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger. See?
And the promise is what Saint Paul says, he says: “Now we see as in a mirror in darkness”11; that is how they were seeing during the seven ages of the gentile Church, which are represented in the time of the night: they are seeing with a mirror in darkness, in other words, in a dark place.
But when the sun rises and a new day begins, the day of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the seventh millennium, and of the Age of the Cornerstone, the sun shines more and more clearly each day, and we are seeing face to face what was type and figure, both in the Old Testament and during the seven stages of the gentile Church.
What was type and figure in relation to the Coming of Christ with His Angels, in the Last Day becomes a reality; and then we have the very image of that which was prophesied and which was symbolized in the types and figures of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, in the Day and for the Last Day; and that is to be seeing face to face.
Saint Paul says: “But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be taken away.” He says: “Now we know in part, and prophesy in part.”12 He says that we are seeing as in a mirror in darkness; but then he says that later we will see face to face; that is, we will not be seeing types and figures, but we will be seeing the antitype, that is, the very image that was represented in those types and figures.
And that is how the types and figures of the ministry of Moses and Elijah, which were represented there in the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, when in the Last Day the elect go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, they will no longer be seeing two candlesticks and two olive trees, but they will be seeing those ministries manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And as we are seeing the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, with the Spirit of Christ manifested in him, operating the ministries of Moses and Elijah and Jesus, we are seeing face to face the Two Olive Trees, the Two Candlesticks and the Son of Man at His Coming with His Angels. And so we will be standing before the Son of Man in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, looking and seeing face to face what was promised, being fulfilled in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
And that is how we will be seeing: “THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY,” and thus we will be seeing the face of the Son of Man, of the Lord, as the sun; and we will be seeing His hair white as white wool, and His eyes as a flame of fire.
All that we will be seeing in the manifestation of the Mighty Angel, the Angel that was very different from the others (that appears here, in this cloud): in His manifestation in human flesh in His Angel Messenger in the Last Day.
And thus we will be seeing Him qualified to judge, to judge all people, nation and tongue, and every human being in this Last Day; because He comes as Judge of all the Earth, under the ministry of the Angel that was very different from the others, being manifested on the Last Day in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and thus manifesting also the ministries of Moses and Elijah, in the manifestation of the ministry of the Son of Man in the Last Day through His Angel Messenger.
To see the fulfillment of these things is to be seeing face to face what was promised in the Old Testament and in the New Testament in relation to the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, to the Coming of the ministries of Moses and Elijah and of Jesus for the Last Day.
The ministries or “THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY.”
Did you see how simple everything is? God does everything in a simple way, because that is how He has always done it. When He promises something great, He fulfills it in simplicity.
Well said the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ that, if we don’t watch, the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work, will pass over us.13 Why? Because everything is fulfilled in a simple way in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and all this in Latin America and the Caribbean.
And to you, Latin American and Caribbean people, it has been given on behalf of God to know these mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven in this Last Day; and that is why it comes in the Latin American and Caribbean language, which is mostly Spanish, so that we can understand it; to understand all these things in relation to the ministry of Moses and Elijah in the Last Day.
It has been for me a great privilege to be giving you testimony of: “THE MYSTERY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE MINISTRIES OF MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THE LAST DAY.”
We have seen that these ministries would be manifested in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, to later take the Message to the Hebrew people; because it is from the Temple of Jesus Christ that the Message goes out to the Hebrew people, from the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, from the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, be upon each one of you and upon me also; and may we all soon be transformed and raptured, and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, in the House of our heavenly Father. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, and continue having a night full of the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
I leave with us again Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, to continue and end our part tonight, thanking Jesus Christ for His blessings in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
May God continue to bless you all.
