The mystery of the Second Coming of Christ and North America’s destiny in the Last Day

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, viewers, and also those who will be watching and listening via the internet, and also those who through this videotaped conference will be listening and watching.

May the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ be upon all of you; and may He speak directly to our soul, and thus open our mind, our understanding, and allow us to understand His Program relevant to this end time. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

I want to read in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 and on, the prophetic words of Jesus concerning the Coming of the Son of Man. 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.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

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

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

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

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND NORTH AMERICA’S DESTINY IN THE LAST DAY.”

Let’s shorten it a bit: “THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND NORTH AMERICA’S DESTINY IN THE LAST DAY.”

We are taking for this subject the two subjects that were placed, one in the newspaper and the other in the loose leaf; and we have, from those two subjects, made a composite subject: “THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND NORTH AMERICA’S DESTINY IN THE LAST DAY.”

These two things are very important for the human race; because many nations depend on North America’s destiny and all human beings depend on the Second Coming of Christ, that is, the destiny of the entire human race depends on the Second Coming of Christ.

Now, this mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, in order to be understood, we first need to understand what the First Coming of Christ was; and in order to understand that mystery, we have to go to the prophecies related to the First Coming of Christ.

The first prophecy found of the Coming of Christ, we have it in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 15, where God tells us… when He brought judgment upon the human race there in the Garden of Eden, which had fallen, and He also brought judgment upon the serpent, who deceived Eve. There the human race fell from eternal life. And now, let’s see in chapter 3, verse 14 and on, let’s see when God cursed the serpent; it says:

“And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

The serpent, before being cursed by God on this occasion, walked like human beings: It walked upright, it spoke, it reasoned, it was the most intelligent animal of all animals; and that was the instrument that the devil used to deceive Eve and —therefore— deceive the human race, and to make the human race fall from eternal life; but it received the curse of becoming a reptile.

But the human race, you see, received the curse of death. And although we find that the human race has continued to live, you see, Adam, although he was able to live about 930 years,¹ in the end he died.

If the human race had not sinned at that time, Adam would still be living on this Earth in the body that God gave him, and Eve too; but death entered the human race through Adam and Eve. And therefore every human being who is born on this planet Earth comes through the union of a man and a woman, and therefore comes short of the glory of God:² he comes already to die.

The most certain thing that a human being has when he is born, what is it? Death. Some die the same day they are born, others are not even born; and then, those who continue to live, eventually die. The longest that lasted was Methuselah, and he died at the age of 969.³

Now, the important thing about the human being and for the human being is not how many years he is going to live in this earthly body. Christ said: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you.”⁴ He also said: “What shall it profit a man, if he shall earn (that is, gain) the whole world, and lose his own soul?”⁵

What good is it for a person to live on this planet Earth and obtain all the great benefits that a human being can obtain on this planet Earth, and become a multimillionaire man, and then die without salvation? What good is it if he loses his soul? Because the most important thing of the human being is his soul, which is inside that physical body that he has and inside the spirit that he has; because the human being is body, spirit and soul.

The body and the spirit are two bodies: one is of this dimension and the other is of another invisible dimension; and what the person really is is soul, living soul in a physical body with a spirit or body of another dimension. Therefore, the most important thing for the human being is eternal life for his soul, so that he can live forever.

Christ also said: “I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: fear him which is able to destroy both body and spirit and soul in hell.”⁶ In other words, if a person doesn’t take advantage of his days that God has given him to live on this Earth, and doesn’t take advantage of them to seek God by believing in Jesus Christ as his Savior, and washing his sins in the Blood of Christ, and receiving His Holy Spirit, so that the new birth is produced in him…; and thus he obtains, by means of the new birth, through the Spirit of Christ, a new body of the sixth dimension, which is a new spirit: It is the spirit given by God; and then, in the Last Day, obtain a glorified physical body, equal to that of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thus be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

If the human being doesn’t take care of the most important thing: His eternal life, his salvation: he has come to this Earth to live a meaningless life; it was meaningless for him to come to this Earth. And he only dedicated himself to work to eat and to clothe himself, and to struggle to obtain (some) a better education; but he didn’t care about the most important thing, which is eternal life. And if he didn’t take advantage of his time seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then he no longer has a chance; because our life here on Earth, in this mortal body, is a unique experience, which will not be repeated.

The person needs to understand the purpose of his existence here on Earth; otherwise, his life has no meaning for him: it is a meaningless life; but he must understand that in the Divine Program everything has a meaning and that you are here by order of Heaven.

You didn’t choose to live on this planet Earth, much less choose to live in this end time; it was God who chose the time where you would live, and even the territory where you would live. Those who live in the occident (that is, in the West) of planet Earth, which is the American continent, live there because God ordered them to live in that territory.

And now, we can see that in God there are no coincidences, but that He works and causes things to happen; they are causalities, not coincidences: He directs our lives. And He also works in the nations, so that everything works according to His Program.

Now, understanding that we are on Earth because of a divine purpose, we need to occupy our position in that Divine Program; that is very important for every human being.

And now, you see how through biblical history we can see how things have happened; and then we can see that they were prophesied that way, that they would happen that way.

Even the First Coming of Christ, notice, was prophesied since Genesis. That seed of the woman, which would be born, which would smite the serpent’s head, we find that it is the Messiah, which is Christ, who was bruised in the heel there on Calvary’s Cross, when they crucified Him and put the nails in His feet and in His hands.

Then we find that God gave more light about the coming of the Messiah through the different prophets, and also through the lives of different prophets in whom the First Coming of the Messiah was reflected and also the Second Coming of the Messiah.

You see, it was reflected in Adam; it was reflected in Abel (Abel dying represents the death of Christ); then in Seth it was reflected, because God restored a seed to him: he gave him new seed or restored the seed to Adam and Eve, and it was Seth (this speaks of Christ resurrected).

And then we also find in Joseph, Jacob’s son: There we have the reflection, the most perfect type and figure that has ever been reflected in a man about the First and Second Coming of Christ.

You see, Joseph was hated by his brothers, Jacob’s sons, as Christ was hated by His brothers; because Joseph was a prophet and because Jesus was a prophet; and he was sold for a certain sum of pieces of silver: Joseph was sold⁷ and Jesus was sol.⁸

We also find that when he was cast into prison⁹ he is typifying the death of Christ. Then he came out of prison to sit as second in pharaoh’s kingdom or empire¹⁰; and Christ rose resurrected: He arose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.</sup>

Then Christ and Joseph are also… Joseph representing Christ, when he is feeding the Egyptians, and then he also feeds the Hebrew people, in that time of famine.¹¹

And then he reveals himself to his brothers, the Hebrews: He reveals himself there in Egypt, that is, in the midst of the gentiles; Joseph was found there in the midst of the gentiles, dressed as a gentile, speaking a gentile language also, but he was Joseph, Jacob’s son’s brother.¹²

And then he revealed himself when he saw Benjamin; and Benjamin represents the 144,000 Hebrews that appear in Revelation, chapter 7, who will be called and gathered and sealed with the Seal of the living God by the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God, in other words, by the Angel Messenger, by the prophet messenger that comes with the Holy Spirit in the Last Day; because the Seal of the living God is the Holy Spirit.

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption,” Saint Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 30.

And now, we also find in Revelation, chapter 14, 144,000 Hebrews already sealed in their foreheads; and they have the Name of their Father written in their foreheads, and also the Name of the Lamb written in their foreheads, because they have the divine revelation of the Eternal Name of God and the New Name of the Lamb.

And now, see how all that was reflected in Joseph revealing himself, making himself known to his brothers there in Egypt; which is about to be fulfilled in God’s Program when Christ reveals Himself to the Hebrew people, to those 144,000 Hebrews.

Then we find that in other prophets and kings, such as King David and King Solomon, the First Coming of Christ was also reflected. It was reflected in King David: He was then rejected by his people and fled to the gentiles. That was what happened with Christ, the King of Israel: He was rejected by the Hebrew people and turned to the gentiles, from where He has been calling a people for His Name from among the gentiles.¹³

That people called for His Name is the Church of Jesus Christ, which have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world. In other words, Christ, although rejected by the Hebrew people, turned to the gentiles, and has continued to work in Holy Spirit; and He being there at the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, seated at the right hand of God, there as High Priest with His own Sacrifice, has been making intercession, as the high priest did in the temple of God on the day of atonement.

On the 10th day of the seventh month, the high priest entered the most holy place with the goat’s blood of atonement; and he offered it there, in the most holy place, upon the mercy seat, for the reconciliation of the Hebrew people with God. And Christ, when He resurrected and ascended to Heaven, took His own Blood and placed it in the Seat of Mercy in Heaven, there in the Temple which is in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place, as the high priest did in the temple which was on Earth in the midst of the Hebrew people.

And why did Christ ascend to Heaven as High Priest bearing His own Blood and placing it in the Most Holy Place of the Temple which is in Heaven? To make intercession for all those who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world, to make intercession for all the sons and daughters of God who belong to the heavenly Israel; because just as there is an earthly Israel, which is the Hebrew people, there is the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now see how for the heavenly Israel we have a High Priest, which is Jesus Christ, who has been making intercession in Heaven for all these years that have passed (two thousand years approximately); and He is still in Heaven making intercession for the last of God’s elect who are being called and gathered in this end time.

And when His work is finished, He will come forth from the Throne of Intercession and will reclaim all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood; and every person who has received Christ as his Savior, and has washed his sins in the Blood of Christ, and has received His Holy Spirit, will also be physically reconciled to God. If the person has died physically, he will be resurrected in an eternal body; this is for the Last Day; for Christ was the one who said that on the Last Day He will resurrect them, those who are physically dead. John, chapter 6, verse 39 to 40 says:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”

When does Christ say it is for? For the Last Day.

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

For the Last Day He has promised that He will carry out the resurrection of all believers who have physically died; and for us who are alive and remain alive until the dead in Christ are resurrected, and we see them resurrected, the promise is that we will be transformed: We will be changed in our atoms; and then we will have a new body, an eternal body, equal to that of the Lord Jesus Christ; and thus we will all be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, this is promised for what day? For the Last Day. What is the Last Day? The Scripture speaks of the Last Day and it also speaks of the last days. And let’s see, the apostle Saint Paul tells us in his letter to the Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 2:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”

He says He has spoken to us through whom? Through His Son. When did He speak to us through His Son? It says: “In these last days He has spoken unto us through His Son,” and it has been about two thousand years. And would Saint Paul be wrong in saying that those were the last days? He was not wrong.

Saint Peter also gave testimony of what the last times or last days are, and he said as follows. In First Peter, chapter 1, verses 18 to 20, he says in the manner in which we have been redeemed by Christ; it says:

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

But with the precious blood of Christ…”

With what have we been redeemed? With the precious Blood of Christ.

“…as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world…”

The death of Christ was not a misfortune that happened to Christ, the death of Christ was not a coincidence or a mistake in the Divine Program, but it was the fulfillment of what was ordained, predestined by God (since when?) since before the foundation of the world. It says:

“Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you…”

Out of love for all of us Christ was manifested (when?) in the last times, that is, in the last days; and He died shedding His Blood for each one of us to reconcile us to God. This was already ordained, predestined, destined by God since before the foundation of the world. And if it was destined by God since before the foundation of the world that Christ should die for us, then we, since before the foundation of the world, were destined to receive Christ as our Savior, and we were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.

When God thought of Christ’s death on Calvary’s Cross, He thought of those whom He was going to die for; because He is not going to order in His Program the death of the Messiah if He has no one to die for. He is not going to order the death of the Messiah and then say: “I am going to see now whom He is going to save.” He said that He came to save (what?) that which was lost¹⁴; and if it was lost, it is because before it was not lost and then it was lost; and then Christ comes and rescues us and returns us to our heavenly Father; because to redeem is ‘to return to the original place.’ God through the Sacrifice of Christ in the First Coming of Christ restores us to Himself again.</sup>

And now, see how the Divine Program of the First Coming of Christ was already ordained by God since before the foundation of the world.

Look, in Genesis we also find that God already spoke about the Coming of the Messiah. And also in Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14, He gave more light about the Coming of the Messiah through a woman; and now it says that it will be a virgin. It says:

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Now God opened the mystery of the First Coming of Christ a little more at the time of the prophet Isaiah, and He shows the prophet Isaiah that the woman through whom the Messiah will come will be a virgin. And now, He also states that she will be a virgin of the Hebrew people, because this prophecy is for the Hebrew people.

And then, through the prophet Micah, chapter 5, verse 2, God testifies where the Messiah will be born. In Matthew, let’s see what it tells us; chapter 2, verse 1 and on, it says:

“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”

That is why Christ had to be born in Bethlehem of Judea. Although Joseph and Mary, where were they living? They were living in Nazareth; but look, for them to go to Bethlehem of Judea (because no person living far from Bethlehem of Judea, as they were living…, that is, it was not very close)…

Look, here is Nazareth, up here</em>; in this map we have here: up here is Nazareth and Bethlehem is down here. And what man is going to leave Nazareth with his wife, on foot or by donkey (which was the common means of transportation at that time), who is going to leave with his wife having already nine months, being already in the month to give birth, to leave from here to get here to Bethlehem of Judea? No one; but there was a census ordered by the king, so that they would obligatorily go to Bethlehem of Judea. In other words, everything would work together for good.

In that census each person had to go to the city to which he belonged, that is, to the city to which he belonged and to the tribe to which he belonged; and because Joseph and Mary were descendants of King David, and David was from Bethlehem of Judea, they had to go to Bethlehem of Judea. And being in Bethlehem of Judea for the census, registering in the census, there came upon her the birth pains, the time to give birth; and she gave birth in Bethlehem of Judea, according to the prophecy.

You see, all things work together for good. Everything looked like a problem: Joseph leaving Nazareth with his pregnant wife, already in the ninth month leaving for Bethlehem of Judea, that was a mistake for anyone, and he was looking for a serious problem; but here what he was looking for (without realizing it) Joseph and Mary, was a blessing, it was the fulfillment of the prophecy that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem of Judea.

And when the time comes for the fulfillment of some prophecy, the instrument through which that prophecy has to be fulfilled and must be fulfilled in a certain territory, God takes that messenger or that instrument of His; even if he is in another place, He takes him to the place where he has to be for the fulfillment of that prophecy.

And now see how the prophecy of the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem of Judea was fulfilled.

Now see how the prophecy doesn’t fail, but is fulfilled in due time.

Now, who was he that would be manifested in that body that was born in Bethlehem of Judea called Jesus of Nazareth? According to the prophecy of Malachi, chapter 3, verse 1 and on, it tells us:

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

That was John the Baptist, the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, of whom Jesus in Matthew, chapter 11, gave testimony saying that he is that Elijah who was to come (chapter 11, verse 14, it’s there). And John himself testified of himself, saying that he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness¹⁵; and Jesus also said that he is that voice of one crying in the wilderness, speaking of John the Baptist; and He also said that he was His messenger that He would send before Him.</sup>

And now, in this passage: Malachi, chapter 3, it goes on to say:

“…and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple…”

Who will come to His Temple after the forerunner, after this messenger who will be preparing the way? Well, the Messiah will come, who is the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

“…even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in.”

The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who delivered the Hebrew people, who led them free from Egypt, who guided them through the wilderness and took them to the promised land through His manifestation through the prophet Moses, is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament, who appeared to Abraham, to Jacob, and also appeared to Moses and other prophets, and they saw Him on some occasions in the form of a male, of a man.

Abraham ate with Him and He ate with Abraham the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; and the Archangels Gabriel and Michael were also there eating with Elohim and eating with Abraham¹⁶; and then they went to Sodom and Gomorrah. And the next day in the morning came the divine judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (were destroyed).17</sup>

And now, we also find that on another occasion, prior to that, the Angel of the Lord also appeared to him, the Angel of the Covenant, in the form of a King, as King; and Abraham called Him Melchizedek; and Abraham, the Scripture says that he paid tithes to Melchizedek on that occasion.¹⁸ In other words, He appeared on those occasions to Abraham in the form of a male, of a man, and on other occasions as well.

And then also to Moses, when Moses wanted to see God face to face, God said to him:¹⁹ “Man shall not see me and live. So you shall not see my face, but you shall see my back parts”; and then He told him what to do: He said to him: “You shall stand upon the rock, and I will put my hand upon your face, and I will pass before you, and you shall be placed in a clift of the rock when I pass by; and when I have passed by then I will take my hand from you, from your face, and then you shall see my back parts”; and so it happened, and so Moses saw God’s back. What did he see? Well, he saw the back of a man; because the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was passing there in His theophanic body, which is a body similar to our body, but of another dimension.

When God is in that theophanic body He is also known as the Word: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made,” says John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on.

And now, who made, who created all things? The Word who was with God and who was God. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” John, chapter 1, verse 14.

When the Word became flesh and dwelt among human beings, we knew Him by the name of Jesus. The veil of flesh was called Jesus, but in that veil of flesh, who was there? The Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the one who ate with Abraham on that occasion the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. That is why when in chapter 8 of John, the Jews were criticizing Jesus a lot, see what happened here in chapter 8, let’s see… chapter 8, verses 47 and on (to not read too much), it says:

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God (that was a harsh word spoken to them by Christ, but it was the truth).

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”

Didn’t Saint Peter say well, when Christ said on one occasion…? When they were all leaving, people were leaving, they were leaving, and the disciples say: “Lord…,” they say to each other or in their hearts, they say: “This is a hard word; who can receive it (who can resist it)?”²⁰ Christ says to them: “Do you also want to leave?” And Peter says: “And to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.”²¹

“Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?”

In other words, they want to tell Him that He is lying, because Abraham lived hundreds or a few thousand years ago, and now Jesus says that Abraham desired to see His day, saw it and was glad.

“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

(So what happened?) Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.”

Now, when He says to them: “Before Abraham was, I am,” then they became very angry, they took stones to stone Him, to kill Him, but He left from their midst.

Now, how can it be possible that a person who was born in Bethlehem of Judea could say that He is before Abraham? Well look, He is before Abraham, He is before Abraham’s father, He is also before Noah, He is before Enoch, He is before Seth and He is before Adam also; because this Jesus who appeared in the midst of the Hebrew people, whose physical body was born in Bethlehem of Judea, the one who was inside Him was nothing less than the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is promised here in the Scripture that He would come: “And the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, whom ye seek, shall come to His Temple.”

And how would He come? He would come in His human Temple called Jesus, He would come in and to His human Temple. And in the midst of that human Temple, in the midst of that body, He would be manifested, and through that body He would speak to the Hebrew people. You see, God, who spoke through the prophets, Saint Paul says, has spoken through His Son in these last days.²²

And now see who our beloved Lord Jesus Christ was: He is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the Creator of the Heavens and Earth, manifested in a veil of flesh, in a human body.

That is why He could say: “I am the resurrection and the life”²³; and He could also say: “I am the way, the truth and the life; and no one comes to the Father but by me.”24 Therefore He could also say, when Philip says: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us,” Christ says: “Philip, I have been with you so long and yet you have not known me, do you not know that the Father is in me and I am in the Father? (or vice versa).”25</sup>

Now, where was the Father? Well, He was within that veil of flesh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The heavenly Father was there with His theophanic body, placed inside a body of flesh, to, through that body of flesh, carry out the redemption there on Calvary’s Cross, and cleanse with His precious Blood every person who has his name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life; those are the firstborn of God, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world, which can’t be lost. That is why Christ came: To save all the sons and daughters of God.

And now, we have seen who our beloved Lord Jesus Christ is, we have seen what the Coming of the Lord is, the First Coming of Christ: It is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, where God was manifested in that theophanic body of the sixth dimension; now He comes with His theophanic body of the sixth dimension and dresses Himself of human flesh, and dwelt among the Hebrew people; and thus God was in the likeness of the human being, as Kinsman Redeemer of the human race, to pay the price of redemption.

No other person could pay the price of redemption, only God Himself by dressing Himself of human flesh, and with that body of flesh carry out the Sacrifice for sin, to take away the sin of the human being.

See the importance of the First Coming of Christ and why He had to die. It was not because things went wrong for Jesus, but because it was in the biblical prophecy to be fulfilled at that time.

And I told you that Saint Paul, and I read to you that Saint Paul said that it happened, when? In the last days; and Saint Peter also says that it was fulfilled in the last days; and approximately two thousand years have passed.

Also Peter, on the Day of Pentecost, in chapter 2 of the book of Acts, verse 14 to 20, tells us about the Coming of the Holy Spirit, which they received on the Day of Pentecost. And giving testimony of what was happening in them on the Day of Pentecost, he says that it was promised by the prophet Joel, when he said:²⁶ “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your children shall prophesy.”

Now, let’s look at [Acts 2:17]:

“…and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy…”

When did God promise to pour out of His Spirit upon all flesh? For the last days. And already two thousand years ago He is pouring out of His Holy Spirit upon 120 believers in Jesus Christ, who were in the upper room; and when the day of Pentecost (a festive day in the midst of the Hebrew people) came, they were filled with the Holy Spirit; and there the new birth was fulfilled in them, the new birth was carried out in them.

Because in order to be born again a person has to be born of the Water and the Spirit, as Jesus Christ said²⁷; because whoever is not born of the Water and the Spirit, he can’t enter the Kingdom of God, he can’t enter the Mystical Body of Christ to be part of the Mystical Body of Christ. Because that is the only way a person can enter to be part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: It is through the new birth; just as you, to be part of the family to which you belong, you had to be born of that family and in that family; any other person is an adopted child; but if you were born of that family, you even carry the blood and the name of that family.</sup>

Now, we can see what would be happening in the last days. And God is still pouring out His Holy Spirit and producing the new birth in those people who believe in Christ as their Savior, and wash their sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive the Spirit of Christ; and thus the new birth is produced in the person, and thus he enters the Kingdom of God. There is no other way to enter the Kingdom of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, what are the last days? Because if we have already been two thousand years approximately, from the days of Jesus until now, and those were the last days and are still the last days, what are then the last days?

The last days, you see, of which Christ also spoke, saying about the believers in Him: “…and I will raise him up at the last day”</em>; so the Last Day is also one of the last days.

And then what are the last days? The last days before God, for human beings, are the last millenniums. Saint Paul tells us in Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, as follows:

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing (it is something that can’t be ignored), that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

The last days before God, for human beings, are the last millenniums. Just as the last days of the week are Thursday (which is the fifth day of the week), Friday (which is the sixth day of the week) and Saturday (which is the seventh day of the week); Saturday is the final day or last day of the week. And of the three last days of the week, Thursday is the first of the last days of the week, Friday is the second day of the three last days, and Saturday is the third of the last days; Saturday is the seventh day of the week, but of the last days it is the third or final day or last day.

And now, when Jesus was 4 to 7 years old the fifth millennium began, and therefore the last days began; and when Christ was preaching, it was already about 25 to 26 years ago, approximately, that the last days had begun. And when Christ had His ministry of three and a half years, and then died on Calvary’s Cross, all that happened, when? In the last days, in the first of the last days, in the first century of the last days, and in the first third of the first century of the last days.

And from the first day of the last days until this time, only about, two thousand years have passed approximately; but before God, how much time has passed before God? Only two days; for one day before the Lord is as a thousand years to us; and two thousand years of ours, how many days are they to God? Only two days.

And now, the Last Day is the seventh millennium. If we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already in the seventh millennium; if we don’t add to the calendar the years it is behind, then we only have what is left of this year 1998, 1999 and the year 2000 to enter the seventh millennium, to reach the 21st century, which is the first century of the seventh millennium.

It is for the seventh millennium that the Second Coming of Christ is programmed in the prophecy, and the resurrection of the dead in Christ as well, and the transformation of us who live.

“…and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Before the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place, and then the transformation of us who are alive. And it is at the Coming of the Lord that the dead in Christ will hear the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet or Trumpet of God, which is the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached and revealing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.

The First Coming of Christ was the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in human flesh; the Second Coming of Christ will be the Coming of that same Angel of the Covenant that was called in the Old Testament the Angel of the Lord, it is the Coming of that Angel coming in the Last Day, coming first to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and then to the Hebrew people.

This is the greatest mystery of all the mysteries of the Bible; for the mystery of the First Coming of Christ is no longer a mystery, because it has already been fulfilled and has been revealed to the human race; and now the greatest mystery of all the mysteries of Heaven and Earth is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.

That is why in the Book of the Seals, the Seventh Seal, which is opened in Revelation, chapter 8, notice, it caused Heaven to be silent for about half an hour, it says here. It says:

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”

And why did the opening of the Seventh Seal cause this silence in Heaven? Because this is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ. It was opened in Heaven, and in Heaven all kept silence so that the Program of the Second Coming of Christ would not be interrupted; so that the enemy of God, the devil, wouldn’t know, wouldn’t know the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ; so that he couldn’t interrupt the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ; but rather that the Second Coming of Christ would be fulfilled in simplicity, as the First Coming of Christ had been fulfilled. And all the Divine Program relevant to the Second Coming of Christ would have a happy fulfillment: And the dead in Christ could be resurrected in eternal bodies, and we who are alive could be transformed.

The mystery of the Second Coming of Christ is revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ through the manifestation of the Seven Thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, which is the Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven; in other words, He Himself in His Coming, the Coming of this Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven…, which is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ descending from Heaven in Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ descending from Heaven in His theophanic body.

And now, notice, Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, says:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.”

These seven thunders uttering their voices is nothing less than the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church in the Last Day; for it is the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, which cries as when a lion roars; and when He had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. It is Christ crying and speaking to His Church in the Last Day, and revealing to her the mystery of His Coming.

And with the opening of that mystery, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ receives the awakening, the greatest spiritual revival of the entire history of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and thus receives Christ, the Mighty Angel, the Angel of the Covenant, coming in the midst of His Church in the Last Day.

Now, He comes in and with His theophanic body, with which He appeared to the Old Testament prophets; but He has to veil Himself in human flesh, in order to reveal Himself to His Church through human flesh.

What God did through the prophets in the Old Testament was to get inside those prophets and manifest Himself through those prophets. And then, when He came in Jesus manifested, in that veil of flesh called Jesus, He was in all His fullness within that veil of flesh manifesting Himself; in the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God.

And everything was so simple that the great doctors of divinity, of theology, of the Hebrew people, who were expecting the Coming of the Messiah (including the high priest), couldn’t understand the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah. They were expecting a king, they were expecting a very important man; because they knew that the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah would be a man, but in their interpretations they never thought that it would be a simple man, that it would be a young carpenter of the Hebrew people.

He came in such simplicity that, the Designer and Builder of the entire universe, now comes as a simple carpenter, a construction worker. That was the Messiah and the King of Israel in His First Coming.

Who would have imagined that the First Coming of the Messiah would be fulfilled in a young carpenter? But we have to understand that when God promises something great, He always fulfills it in a simple way; because the great thing is God, and the simple thing is the human part through whom God fulfills such a great promise.

We find that during these two thousand years Jesus Christ has been manifesting Himself in Holy Spirit through His apostles; we find Him manifested in the midst of the Hebrew people, there through the apostles Saint Peter and other apostles; then we find Him manifested in Saint Paul in Asia Minor, and then we find Him manifested in every angel messenger of the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church (five of which were manifested in Europe, in different European nations).

And then, the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church appeared in North America, and he was the Reverend William Marrion Branham, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ; just as John the Baptist was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ. And he came with the spirit and power of Elijah, forerunning the Second Coming of Christ.

And do you want to know what he said the Coming of the Lord would be? He said: “I will not die of old age without Him being here. Perhaps I may die first by some accident or some other cause, but I shall not die of old age without Him being here.”²⁸

Then we find that he, speaking to us about the Coming of the Lord, points out that it will be the fulfillment of Revelation, chapter 10, which is the Coming of the Angel that descends from Heaven clothed in a cloud, and it is also the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. In the book of Revelation there is the prophecy of the Second Coming of Christ in these apocalyptic symbols, placed from different angles or positions.

Now, let’s see what he says will be the Coming of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10. It says in the book of The Seals, page 57 in Spanish, in the middle of that page, it says:²⁹

“‘…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…’

³⁰ If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.

‘…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:’

³¹ You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel (that is, He comes as the Messenger to Israel, because He is the Messenger to Israel). See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured.”

In other words, to be taken from here on Earth, caught away and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, for that great feast that will be taking place there, while the planet Earth with its inhabitants goes through the lapse of time of three and a half years, where the great tribulation will be fulfilled and the divine judgments will be falling upon the human race. Now, it says:

“Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”

For whom is He coming first? For His Church; then He will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people, as Joseph revealed himself to his brothers there in Egypt.

Now, we have seen the Coming of Christ as the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, coming for His Church first.

Then let’s see the Second Coming of Christ as the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, and let’s see how he presents Him in His Coming, because he is the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. On page 134 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, it says:³⁰

“³⁰² Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords. That’s right. See?”

And now let’s go to page 277, where it says, praying he says:³¹

“^[391] …may the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”

Who is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? Because Revelation 19 is the Second Coming of Christ, and the Rider of that white horse is the Holy Spirit.

And now, how will the Holy Spirit come in the end time, according to the prophecies of the Old Testament and the New Testament, and the prophecies of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ? That white horse brings a Rider. And now, let’s see what will be the Coming of that Rider on that white horse of Revelation 19. It says on page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish:³²

“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.”

That is what he said —the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ— will be the Coming of that white horse Rider of Revelation 19.

See all the light that the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ has given us; just as through the prophets God gave more and more light about the seed of the woman, the son of the woman who would come and smite the devil on the head.

See He then said she would be a virgin, and then He said she would be born in Bethlehem of Judea, and so on; then the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary, and that was the woman through whom the Messiah would come.

And now, the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, from which territory will this white horse Rider of Revelation 19 come? Just as God to the Hebrew people, through the prophet Micah said that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem of Judea in His First Coming, now let’s see where this white horse Rider of Revelation 19 will come from.

On page 166 and verse 1485 of the book of Quotations, we have an excerpt from the message “God’s only provided place of worship” (page 1 and 2). Now, this excerpt reads:³³

“Now, there’s… I was… getting pretty old, and I thought, ‘Will I… Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”

If it is a promise, it has to be in the Bible; and it is found in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 to 21; and we also find that promise in Isaiah, chapter 63. And we have countless places in the Old Testament where that promise is; and it is also in the New Testament with more light.

And now, through the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, God has given us more light concerning the promise of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, in His theophanic body, coming to His Church in the Last Day.

And now, He said that it would be the Word, the Word, incarnated where? In a man; in a man of this end time.

And here, in this prophecy that he gave saying: “From the West will come a white horse Rider. We will ride this trail again,” now he says it will be from, where? From the West. And the West consists of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean; that is the continent of the West.

Also Christ Himself, when He spoke of the Coming of the Son of Man, testified, prophesying He testified saying: chapter 24, verse 27, saying [Matthew]:

“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

The First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in the East. The Son of Man was manifested in the East, there in the Middle East, in the land of Israel. It was the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord in human flesh, in a young construction worker named Jesus of Nazareth.

And now, the Coming of the Son of Man will shine, where? In the West, in the Last Day. He also said in Luke, chapter 17, verse 24, speaking of the Coming of the Son of Man, it says:

“For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.”

Now, all this speaks to us of the West, of the American continent.

God has already fulfilled the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church: The first in Asia Minor; the second, third, fourth, and fifth, and sixth in Europe; and the seventh in North America, where He sent the Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ and angel messenger of the seventh stage or age of the gentile Church.

And when God has fulfilled His promise for an age in the corresponding territory, then He moves to another territory to fulfill the other promises that pertain to another age and another dispensation.

And now, the territory for the fulfillment of all these divine promises relevant to the Last Day, being in the West the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man shining like lightning, the Coming of the Son of Man coming on a snow white horse and coming from the West, the only territory left, where God didn’t fulfill any of the seven gentile Church ages, is Latin America and the Caribbean.

Latin America and the Caribbean is the privileged territory for the Son of Man as the lightning to shine in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium; for the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, to manifest Himself in the midst of His gentile Church and to carry out the fulfillment of all the promises pertaining to the Last Day.

And now, aware of the territory for the appearance, the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, the Coming of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven clothed in a cloud, to manifest Himself in the midst of His Church in the Last Day; aware of this reality, we have to understand that everything will be in simplicity.

The First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in the midst of the Hebrew people for 33 years. Before beginning His ministry of three and a half years, His Coming was fulfilled for almost 30 years; and it was a mystery hidden from the eyes of the wise and knowledgeable in theological matters of the Hebrew religion.

But the Messiah was in their midst: He was growing, He was working in their midst as a construction worker. And the Messiah was there, but no one could understand that this simple young man was the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah, the Coming of the King of Israel.

And then, when He began His ministry and identified Himself as the Messiah, you see, they rejected Him, because they couldn’t conceive that a construction worker was the Messiah they were waiting for.

And if God fulfills the Second Coming of Christ in a construction worker, will the great doctors of divinity of Christianity receive him, or will they do the same as they did with the First Coming of Christ fulfilled in a construction worker? They will do the same thing.

Now, we can see that the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said what would be the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which for the Last Day would be manifested in the midst of His gentile Church.

After we are transformed, then we will see our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified body; but before that, we will only be seeing the Lord Jesus Christ manifested through His Angel Messenger. And through His Angel Messenger Jesus Christ will be speaking to us all these things that must take place soon.

He says in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11… here John the apostle tells us the experience he had being transported to the Lord’s Day, it says:

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

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last…”

Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, the Voice of Jesus Christ. It is not a literal trumpet, it is the Voice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; it is Christ speaking to His Church with that Great Voice of Trumpet in the Last Day. That is why He spoke of that Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet to call and gather all His elect; and that is also why Saint Paul said [First Corinthians 15:51-54]:

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall all certainly not sleep (in other words, we will not die)<em>; but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Death ends there for God’s children; because we will already be in an eternal body, a glorified body, an immortal body: We will never again die, we will never grow old again, we will never again get sick, but we will remain in the prime of youth: representing, for all eternity, from 18 to 21 years of age. And it is with that body that we will reign with Christ for a thousand years and then for all eternity.

This is how we will return to eternal life, to immortality; and that is for the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium.

Now, in which year of the Last Day? We don’t know, but when we hear or are listening to that Great Voice of Trumpet, we know that the elect are being called and gathered to be transformed at some point, and the dead in Christ to be resurrected in eternal bodies.

And that Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet is the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached on Earth by the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, manifested through His Angel Messenger. In that manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant through His Angel Messenger, is that the Church of Jesus Christ will hear that Last Trumpet.

Now look, in Revelation, chapter 4, it says:

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

It is the Voice of Christ speaking with that Voice as of a trumpet (it is not a literal trumpet), and promises to make known to us all these things that must happen soon.

If we were living in the first age, in the time of Saint Paul, we would have to go up to the first age to hear the Voice of Christ through Saint Paul. If we were living in the second age, then we would go up to the second age. But we are living in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone; therefore, we have to go up to the Age of the Cornerstone to hear the Voice of Christ through His Angel Messenger making known to us all these things that must happen soon; and that age pertains to Latin America and the Caribbean.

And just as Christ spoke through His messengers of past ages, in the language of those messengers, He will be speaking in the language of His Angel Messenger of the Last Day.

And now see how here in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6 and on, it is the Angel of Jesus Christ who makes known all these things. So it 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 unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Whom does He send to show all these things that must happen soon? He sends His Angel Messenger. The things that Christ said: “Come up hither, and I will show you the things which must shortly come to pass after these things,” now He makes them known through His Angel Messenger; because it is through His Angel Messenger that Christ will be manifested in the Last Day.

And for that reason He sends His Angel Messenger, to give testimony of these things to all churches, to all nations and to all human beings. To testify of what things? Of all these things that must take place soon, in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium.

“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

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

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

Notice, this Angel didn’t allow John to worship him. Why? Because this Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ. Although Jesus Christ is manifested in him, this Angel is a man, a prophet of this end time through whom Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested; and we don’t have to worship man: We have to worship God.

Now, let’s see also in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, where it says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Who is the Sent One of Jesus Christ to give testimony of these apocalyptic things that must happen? The Sent One is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the last prophet that Jesus Christ sends to this planet Earth; and He sends him to His Church, and then He will send him to the Hebrew people. That is the last prophet, and he is a dispensational prophet. It is the first occasion in which God sends to His Church a dispensational prophet.

He did send dispensational prophets to the Hebrew people; but look at Moses, a dispensational prophet, Moses was almost (on ten occasions) stoned.

Abraham was also a dispensational prophet, Jesus as well, Noah was also a dispensational prophet, Seth was a dispensational prophet and Adam was also a dispensational prophet.

And the Angel of Jesus Christ is a dispensational prophet also: He is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering all of God’s elect, and making known to them all these things which must happen soon, in this end time; and thus revealing to them the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the Angel that was different from the rest, of the Coming of the Angel that comes descending from Heaven clothed in a cloud; that Mighty Angel, who is also the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19, who has written on His thigh and on His garment: King of kings and Lord of lords; and He also has a name written, which is called the Word of God.

It is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man; it is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, coming in human flesh in a man, manifesting Himself through a man of this end time.

But that man is not the Lord Jesus Christ; but in him will be Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested, making known to us all these things, speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet and revealing to us the mystery of His Coming in His Angel Messenger in this end time. And this is how the mystery of the Seventh Seal is revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ through the manifestation of Christ through His Angel Messenger.

And now, this is for the Last Day, which has already begun, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind; and if not, then only 1998, 1999 and the year 2000 remain to be completed, and then we enter the seventh millennium and the 21st century. But remember, the calendar is delayed.

And now the question is: Is God’s calendar delayed? God is not behind in anything; the human beings’ calendar is behind.

Now, we can see why the human race is waiting for (what?) the Second Coming of Christ; and the Hebrew people are also waiting for the Coming of the Messiah.

There are two peoples: One is the earthly Israel, the Hebrew people; and the other is the heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Both are waiting for the Coming of the Lord, they are waiting for the Coming of the Word incarnate in a man.

And people who don’t understand this mystery of the Word coming incarnate in a man, will fail to see the Angel of the Covenant (which is Jesus Christ coming in Holy Spirit) manifested in His Angel Messenger (which will be the veil of flesh where the manifestation of Jesus Christ of the Last Day, of the seventh millennium will be), to, through that Angel Messenger, make known to us all these things that must happen soon, and thus give us the faith to be transformed and raptured in this end time.

And after we are transformed, then we will see our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified body; not before. Before we will see Him manifested through His Angel Messenger, who is the prophet messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom. The mystery of the Seventh Seal is there, the mystery of the Coming and manifestation of Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger.

That is why John the apostle wanted to worship the Angel of Jesus Christ on two occasions: In chapter 19, verse 9 to 10, he also wanted to worship the Angel, and then in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6 to 9.

And how could John do such a thing? Because he saw Jesus Christ manifested through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must soon come to pass, and fulfilling through His Angel Messenger His promises pertaining to this end time.

Now, what will be America’s destiny in the Last Day? The destiny of America in the Last Day is divided into two parts: The destiny of North America, and the destiny of Latin America and the Caribbean.

They are two places where Christ has been manifested: In the seventh age of the gentile Church He has been manifested in North America, in His seventh angel messenger. And in Latin America and the Caribbean He would be manifested in His Angel Messenger in the Last Day.

And now, let’s see according to what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said. We are not going to talk much, but we are only going to read what he saw in relation to North America. We are going to see in the book of The Church Ages, page 361:³⁴ he narrates that he had seven great visions; and the seventh vision, like the sixth vision, are linked to North America. Now let’s look at the seventh vision. It says:

“The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion.”

[CUT IN ORIGINAL TAPE]

…this end time. You know that California is in grave danger at this time; from one moment to another a very terrible catastrophe is going to happen: A great earthquake is going to destroy California, Los Angeles, Hollywood, all that, and it is going to be terrible; one tenth of North America is going to be destroyed with that earthquake; and that is a lot of territory. And very terrible things will continue to happen afterwards over the territory of North America; and nobody will be able to stop that from happening.

In the biblical prophecies of the Old Testament and the New Testament, it is in the types and figures, in symbols and in different prophecies, and also by the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, there are the prophecies that give testimony of what will happen in North America.

Now, I pray for the Latin American and Caribbean territory, which is receiving the Word, the Message of God: So that God may have mercy on all Latin American and Caribbean people, also on those in North America.

Now, notice, in… let’s read a little bit:

“What is left? Nothing except Hebrews 12:26, ‘Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.’ Once more God will shake the earth and with it shake everything loose that can be shaken. Then He will renovate it (renovate it, for what?, for the glorious Millennial Kingdom). Just last March, 1964, that Good Friday earthquake of Alaska shook the whole world though it did not unbalance it. But God was warning by a world tremor what He will soon do on a greater scale. He is going to blast and rock this sin-cursed world, my brother, my sister, and there is only one place that can stand that shock, and that is in the fold of the Lord Jesus (that is, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Mystical Body of the Lord). And I would beseech you while God’s mercy is still available to you, that you give your whole life, unreservedly to Jesus Christ, Who as the faithful Shepherd will save you and care for you and present you faultless in glory with exceeding great joy.”

We are living in a time when God has given us the opportunity to receive forgiveness for our sins before Christ leaves the Throne of Intercession in Heaven. When He leaves the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, there will no longer be Blood there at the Throne of God, and therefore divine judgment will come upon the human race.

We are living in a time when we have to take advantage of the opportunity we have before God, to seek God, to wash our sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Spirit, so as to be born into the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ. And He is calling and gathering the last elect written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, to complete the number of His Church, of His Mystical Body of believers.

He can’t leave the Throne of Intercession in Heaven until every last one of God’s elect enters the Mystical Body of Christ. That is why the call for God’s elect, Christ said it would be with a Great Voice of Trumpet: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.”³⁵

It is with that Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, under the ministry of the Angels of the Son of Man, which are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, calling and gathering all of God’s elect. Who? Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

And that is how He will complete the number of His Church, the number of those who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life; because not one of them will be lost, not one of them will be snatched away by the enemy of God from the hand of Christ. All will be restored to eternal life in this end time.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND NORTH AMERICA’S DESTINY IN THE LAST DAY.” That has been our subject, and we have seen how simple it all is; but it is all here: In the Word of God.

And in order to understand these things in this end time, Jesus Christ says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

There is no other way to understand these mysteries of the Kingdom of God; only through the manifestation of Christ through His Angel Messenger, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, in this Last Day.

We have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND NORTH AMERICA’S DESTINY IN THE LAST DAY.” And we have also seen what a great blessing there is in this end time for all Latin American and Caribbean people, and for all sons and daughters of God wherever they are.

That blessing is going out from Latin America and the Caribbean, and will cover the planet Earth; it will also reach the Hebrew people.

“The Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” it says in Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 14, and also in Isaiah, chapter 11, verse 9.

It has been a very great privilege for me to be with you, kind friends and brethren present, viewers, and those who are via the internet, and also those who will be watching this conference, will be watching and listening to this conference later on.

May the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, be upon each one of you and upon me also; and may He soon transform our bodies and take us to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention and may you have a very good evening.

With us again Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, to continue and finish our part tonight.

“THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND NORTH AMERICA’S DESTINY AT THE LAST DAY.”
