The place of safety today

Good evening, beloved brethren and friends present. It is a great blessing for me to be with you again, after the activities carried out in the Dominican Republic and also in the Republic of Haiti. Everyone there sends greetings to all of you, and they are very happy with the Word.

God, well, accompanied us, blessed us greatly; and the conferences were recorded, which were also translated for the benefit of all those in Haiti, and also for our benefit, because they will also be printed for all of us.

God is working in the Republic of Haiti, and hopefully soon the number of God’s elect is completed; and if it is completed with Haitians, it is very good; in other words, we have no racism problems, but we love all of them. They, as well as us, have a soul that comes from God, those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. So what we desire is for the number of God’s to be completed, for the number of the sheep of the Fold of the Lord to be completed.

Psalm 23, verse 1 to 6 says:

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever (in other words, for all eternity).”

Our subject for this occasion is: “THE PLACE OF SAFETY TODAY.”

God being manifested in Jesus Christ, according to His promise, and God being, the Lord, the Good Shepherd, He said that He would come, that He would be present. And when He came in human flesh, two thousand years ago, in that veil of flesh called Jesus of Nazareth, He said in John, chapter 10, verse 14 and on:

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

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

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

Now see how in the New Testament the Good Shepherd is the same Good Shepherd of the Old Testament, God Himself, who guided the Hebrew people like sheep through the wilderness and took them into the promised land.

And the Lord of the Old Testament, the Angel of the Covenant of the Old Testament, became flesh and dwelt among the Hebrew people; and He was known by the name of Jesus. That is why He could say: “I am the Good Shepherd.” He is the same Good Shepherd of the Old Testament, He is the same God of the Old Testament, who made Himself a veil of flesh called Jesus.

God became man, He came in the form of a prophet; and He was none other than the Angel of the Covenant visiting His people Israel, and carrying out His ministry relevant to the first part of the seventieth week; for the seventieth week, which consists of seven years, has two parts: The first part consists of three and a half years, and the second part of the remainder: three and a half years of that seventieth week.¹

And the ministry of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago was fulfilled in the first three and a half years of the seventieth week; and for this end time, in the midst of the Hebrew people the other three and a half years will be fulfilled, in the manifestation of the Spirit of Christ, of the Holy Spirit, through the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which will be manifested in the midst of the Hebrew people. And those ministries will be manifested by Jesus Christ, which will be manifested in His Second Coming.

And after the Hebrew people see the manifestation of the Spirit of God in these ministries, then the Hebrew people will understand that it is the Coming of the Messiah, of the King of Israel, of the Angel of the Covenant, which they will be seeing.

Now, we can see that the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, which is the Angel of the Lord, which is the same Jesus Christ but in His theophanic body, He will be manifested here on Earth in the Last Day, in the fulfillment of His Coming; and He will be with His Angels, in other words, with the ministries of the Two Olive Trees; and He will be manifesting them wherever He is manifested; for wherever the Angel of the Covenant is manifested, He will be veiled and revealed through human flesh.

And that is the Good Shepherd of the Old Testament, and that is the Good Shepherd that came two thousand years ago and was in the midst of the Hebrew people. And He said that He had other sheep that were not of that Hebrew Fold, which He also had to bring. Bring them where? Bring them to His Fold; and His Fold is His Church, His Mystical Body of believers. And He said: “And they shall hear my Voice; and there shall be one flock, and one Shepherd.”

Now, we can see that from stage to stage, from age to age, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, has been manifested in Holy Spirit through the messenger of each age, speaking through the messenger of each age, and calling His sheep in each age, and placing them in His Fold, which is His Church.

And for this Last Day we can see through history, we can see how He was in the midst of the Hebrew people manifested, then He was manifested through the apostles, and then He was manifested through Saint Paul in Asia Minor; then from Asia Minor He went to Europe, where five ages were fulfilled, and where He sent five messengers in those different stages, those stages that were fulfilled in Europe, which were five, where He called and gathered the elect of those five stages, as He had called and gathered the elect of the age of Ephesus there in Asia Minor.

See how He has had a messenger for each age, and how through that messenger Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit has manifested Himself and has been speaking, and has been calling and gathering His sheep of each stage, of each age, and has placed them in His Fold, which is His Church, His Mystical Body of believers; He has been doing that from age to age.

That is why the seven spirits of God, which are also the seven lamps that are before the presence of God, and which are also the seven eyes of God that travel throughout the Earth, are the seven manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church; therefore, they were those seven eyes and those seven spirits and those seven stars of God, in those seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.²

The first age was in Asia Minor, and Saint Paul was the messenger; the second was in Europe; the third, fourth, fifth and sixth also in different European nations, where He gathered His elect of those five ages; and then the seventh was in North America, where He sent His messenger: William Marrion Branham, and Christ was in Holy Spirit speaking through him, and calling and gathering His sheep of that seventh stage or age of the gentile Church.

And we find that there was a very great manifestation in the seventh angel messenger; to such a degree that there came the promise of the coming of Elijah for the fourth time forerunning the Second Coming of Christ.

Just as the First Coming of Christ was foreran by John the Baptist, who was the Elijah of that time in the third manifestation of the ministry of Elijah; now, to forerun the Second Coming of Christ, Elijah came again, the ministry of Elijah in another man, in the Reverend William Branham.

For every time the ministry of Elijah comes to Earth, it comes in a new veil of flesh, in a new man of the time in which that prophet is manifested.

That is why when Reverend William Branham spoke about the ministries of Moses and Elijah, when he was asked if it would be Elijah literally or it would be the spirit of Elijah in another man… See here the question, on page 399 of the book of The Seals (where he carried out this activity of questions and answers); it says, question number 11:³

“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?”

Now, see what he says in this answer; in one part of the answer he says:

“[148] I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see, there, when Elijah had gone up and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, he says, ‘Does not… on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did, see.”

Now look at what the Reverend William Branham says that he believes will be the coming of the Elijah that will bring the Message to the Hebrew people: He believes that it will be a man of this time anointed with that spirit, with the ministerial spirit of Elijah.

And notice how for this end time we have the promise of the coming of Elijah for the fifth time, the coming of Moses for the second time, and the Coming of Christ for the second time. These three great ministries that were manifested in the past, will be manifested here on Earth again, in human flesh; in human flesh of this end time in which we live.

There will be a man of this end time in which we will see these ministries manifested; and that man is pointed out in the Scripture, in Revelation 22, verse 16, as the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

And in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, Christ says with that Voice of Trumpet: “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which shall be hereafter.”

Now, where do we have to go up to? Just as the elect of each age had to go up to the age that corresponded to them, where the messenger of their age was, through whom Christ was calling His elect, His sheep; now Christ will be here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, through His Angel Messenger, speaking to His children, calling and gathering His children, and making known to them all these things that must happen soon.

Therefore, just as the call in each age was to the age that was in effect for that time, where the messenger of that age was…; just as in each age the messenger was the instrument of Christ, through whom Christ spoke and called and gathered His sheep in the Fold of the Lord…; of the seven messengers, the Reverend William Branham was the seventh, through whom He was speaking. And then the Spirit of Christ goes up to the Age of the Cornerstone, and manifests Himself through His Angel Messenger; and through His Angel Messenger He calls and gathers His elect in the Age of the Cornerstone, making known to them all these things that must happen soon.

And through that Message of Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the elect of God, the sheep of the Fold of the Lord belonging to the Age of the Cornerstone, are called and gathered.

And just as there was a territory for each age, where each age was fulfilled, where God sent the messenger of each age; there is also a territory for the fulfillment of the Age of the Cornerstone, where Jesus Christ sends His Angel Messenger when He says:

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

It is for the Age of the Cornerstone, and the territory is Latin America and the Caribbean. And through His Angel Messenger is that He will be in this Last Day calling and gathering His sheep in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that Message that will be brought by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, it is that Great Voice of Trumpet or Trumpet of God.

When we speak of the Trumpet of God or Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, we are speaking of the Voice of Christ giving us a Message for this end time; just as He gave us a Message in each age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ through each angel messenger.

In each age a Trumpet sounded: It was the Voice of Christ in each age, through the messenger of each age.

And now, for the end time, we have the promise of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which means a dispensational Message. And the only dispensational Message that there is for the Last Day is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.

And for this end time, He, with that Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, is calling and gathering His elect. That is the Message of the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, that is the Message with which the elect of God are called and gathered.

Now notice, in the message “Broken Cisterns” page [33], the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, says:⁴

“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping (that is, those who have departed), for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ Just resting till that time.”

Now see how that Seventh Trumpet or Last Trumpet will be, what?

“And that last Trumpet (or Final Trumpet), like the last Seal (as the Seventh Seal) will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’”

In other words, that Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet or Seventh Trumpet, gives us the Message of the Seventh Seal, the Message of the Second Coming of Christ. And that Trumpet sounding is the Voice of Christ revealing to us the mystery of His Coming in this Last Day, revealing to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal in this end time.

That is why the Voice of Christ in this end time, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (crying as when a lion roars, and seven thunders uttering their voices, in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 to 7), we find that it is the Voice of Christ speaking to us through His Angel Messenger in this end time, and revealing to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is, the mystery 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.

And with that Message, which is the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, and which is the revelation of the Seventh Seal, is the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ: The elect of this end time are called and gathered together —first the elect from among the gentiles—, and are placed in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.

And this is how Christ in this end time will complete the number of His elect, of His Mystical Body of believers, that is, of His Church, to then bring the dead in Christ resurrected in eternal bodies, and then us who live will be transformed; and thus, Christ will then deal with the Hebrew people in this end time.

So what remains for the dead in Christ to be resurrected is for the elect of this end time to be completed. Where? In the House of God, which is the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.

And this House, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, is the safe place, it is the place of safety for all the sheep of the Lord; because this is the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Church, His Mystical Body of believers. And He is placing His elect in this Last Day in the Age of the Cornerstone; an age that is fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean.

That is why the Divine Program has passed to Latin America and the Caribbean; and God, just as He visited each territory in each age, in His manifestation through the messenger of each age…, and each messenger could say that God was visiting that nation and that continent… How was He visiting it? Through the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in the angel messenger of that age, and He was speaking through that messenger.

So it was in Asia Minor, so it was in Europe, so it was in North America. God visiting Europe. First He visited Israel; then He visited Asia Minor through Saint Paul; then He visited Europe through those five messengers that He sent to Europe; then He visited North America through Reverend William Branham, where Jesus Christ was manifested in Holy Spirit.

And now He visits Latin America and the Caribbean in this end time, in the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, sent to bear witness of these things in the churches; and to, through His Angel Messenger, call and gather His sheep in His Fold, in other words, in the Fold of the Lord, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage in which the Church is in this end time, which is the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone; where a new dispensation is opened: The Dispensation of the Kingdom, and where the Message relevant to the Age of the Cornerstone is the Great Voice of Trumpet Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, calling and gathering all the elect of God, all the sheep of the Good Shepherd, of the Lord Jesus Christ; gathering them where? Gathering them into His Fold, which is His Church, His Mystical Body of believers, in this final stage, which is the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.

For this end time, we know that the divine judgment is going to fall upon the Earth; but there is a safe place today: And that is the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the stage that corresponds to this end time.

In the message of The Seven Church Ages, page 361 and 362 in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says:⁵

“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. 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 (much bigger). 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.”

What is the safe place? The Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is His Church, in the stage that corresponds to this end time.

“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.”

Now, we have seen what is coming as divine judgment; but there is a place of safety today for the sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is a place of safety for those who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, since before the foundation of the world: and that is the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is His Church; which is at this time in the most glorious stage, the golden stage, the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone; that is the stage of the golden head of the Kingdom of God, that is the golden stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be hearing the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, making known to us all these things that must shortly come to pass, in this Last Day and in the Age of the Cornerstone.

Now, we can see that there is no other safe place on this planet Earth, except the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the stage relevant to this Last Day.

And God is calling and gathering His elect; the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, is calling and gathering His elect, in this Last Day, with His Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, revealing to them the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ; and with that Message being revealed and preached, He is calling and gathering His sheep of the Last Day in His Fold, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.

We have seen which is the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ: It is His Church; and we have seen in which stage the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is: The stage of the Age of the Cornerstone; and we have seen in which territory that stage is being fulfilled: In the Latin American and Caribbean territory; and we have seen what that Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet is: It is the Second Coming of Christ being revealed in this Last Day: That is the Seventh Seal, which is revealed by the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, by the Voice of Christ making known to us all these things that must happen soon, crying out as when a lion roars, and those seven thunders uttering their voices, and revealing to us the mystery of His Coming, the mystery of the Seventh Seal.

Now, we have seen how Jesus Christ would call and gather His sheep of the Last Day into His Fold, we have seen that it is in the same way He did in past ages: In a territory, with a Message, and with a messenger through whom Jesus Christ will be manifested speaking to His people all these things that must happen soon, in this end time, and through whom He will be revealing to us all these mysteries pertaining to the Last Day; and above all, the greatest mystery of all mysteries, which is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which, when it was opened in Heaven, caused silence for about half an hour. That is the mystery 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, to His Church, in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

Now, we have seen all this mystery that was hidden in past ages and dispensations, we have seen how Christ is opening it to His Church in this end time. And with that mystery being revealed Jesus Christ is calling and gathering His elect of this Last Day; first, His elect from among the gentiles, belonging to His Church, to His Mystical Body of believers.

And when the number is completed, then the dead in Christ will be resurrected in incorruptible —that is, eternal bodies—, and us who are alive will see them resurrected in eternal bodies, and then we will be transformed.

While that time comes, we will be well fed by the Word of God; for He has promised to shepherd us beside still waters, and thus to be well fed, so that we may remain in His Fold all the days of our life.

I thank God for all the elect, the sheep of Christ that He had for this Last Day, to call and gather them into the Age of the Cornerstone. And when the number is completed, then the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive will take place.

So let us persevere with our soul and our heart, serving Jesus Christ all the days of our life.

We have come to the Fold of the Lord, and we are being well fed with the Word relevant to our time, our age and our dispensation, to be soon transformed.

So we are being prepared with the Word, with that Food, with that revelation, to soon be transformed according to the divine promise, before the judgments of the great tribulation fall upon this planet Earth.

We are in THE PLACE OF SAFETY TODAY, to soon be transformed, before the divine judgments fall upon planet Earth, the divine judgments of the great tribulation.

No other place will be able to protect people; it is only the Fold of the Lord in the age that corresponds to this end time. Those are the ones who will escape, in this Last Day, the great tribulation that is to come and the judgments that are to fall upon the Earth.

So I thank Christ for having me in the place of safety today, and for having you also in the place of safety today, to which He has called us by His Word in this Last Day; and He will continue to call until the number of those who have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life is completed.

It has been a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, giving testimony of: “THE PLACE OF SAFETY TODAY,” which is the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage relevant to this time, which is the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the golden stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is why you will see that Miguel and I have to be traveling throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Why? Because we are in the time of the call of the elect of God with the Great Voice of Trumpet, with the Last Trumpet, so that it reaches the ears and the heart and soul of the people that have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life: The Message of the Word of God relevant to this Last Day reaches them, and God awakens them there in the soul, and they are gathered in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is why we are in these missionary works in all the Latin American and Caribbean countries. And you go with us in the work that you also carry out. In the different ways in which you work in the Work of the Lord, you also work for this work that is carried out in all Latin America and the Caribbean, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So let us serve Christ with all our souls all the days of our lives, working in His Work, and persevering, and being prepared by the Word and by the Spirit of Christ to soon be transformed, and thus obtain the eternal body that He has promised for each one of you and for me too.

Soon I will have that new body. And you? You will also have that new body very soon. We don’t know in what year, but we know that it will be very soon, because we are already in the Last Day.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ promised for this Last Day, for His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, materialize upon each one of you and upon me also; and may soon the number of all the elect of the Mystical Body of Christ be completed in this Last Day; and the dead in Christ be resurrected, and we be transformed; and then we will go 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 continue having a night full of the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

May God continue to bless you all.

I will be with you on Sunday, too, and also for the other weekend, I will also be with you.

God bless you all.

“THE PLACE OF SAFETY TODAY.”
