Good morning, beloved friends and brethren gathered here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a great privilege and blessing to be with you on this occasion, to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For which I want to read in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3, and also Matthew, chapter 24, verse 30 and on, where it says, where Jesus Christ Himself speaks (here the disciples ask Jesus, in chapter 24, verse 3), it says:
“And as he (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
In Matthew 24, verse 30 and on, 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 topic for this occasion is “THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY”, in other words, God’s promise for the Last Day and of the Last Day.
For the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, after the topic of the First Coming of Christ and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross…; a topic contained in the Gospel of Grace and proclaimed for these two thousand years that have passed, proclaimed by all nations, and thus giving the opportunity to the human beings to wash away their sins in the Blood of Christ and receive His Holy Spirit, and thus obtain the new birth.
After the topic of the First Coming of Christ and His Work of Redemption, the other most important topic for the human race… See, we have two very important topics for the human race, they are the most important topics: the First Coming of Christ, and the second topic is the Second Coming of Christ.
And now, that is the topic of THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY: the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, to pay each individual (each one) according to his works, Jesus tells us in Matthew, chapter 16, verses 27 to 28; it says:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
And then He took Peter, James and John his brother, and went up with them to a high mountain, and there He showed them the vision of what will be the Coming of the Son of Man in the Last Day. It says, chapter 17 of Matthew:
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”
In this passage we have the vision of the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels shown here; that is why look how it continues to say here:
“And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man…”
It is a vision there, that God is showing them, because there He is showing them —in that vision— the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; which will be fulfilled in the end time or Last Day, in the Coming of the Son of Man, which is the greatest prophecy that has been spoken for the Last Day, for the end time, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament.
That was the greatest prophecy, given in the Old Testament and New Testament, for the Last Day. That is why even Jesus Himself spoke, prophesied, of the Coming of the Son of Man for the Last Day.
And now He says to them:
“(Don’t tell) the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
Why? Because John the Baptist was the Elijah who had to come at that time preparing the way for the Lord, preparing the way for the Messiah. He was the prophet who would come with the spirit and power of Elijah1</sup>; in other words, the ministry of Elijah would be repeated in another man, and that other man was John the Baptist.
When God promises to again send a prophet that He had already sent in the past, it is the ministry that was in that prophet being operated again by the Holy Spirit in another man, in another prophet.
That is why John the Baptist, although he was literally not the prophet Elijah, as far as the ministry that was being operated by the Holy Spirit in him, that was the ministry of Elijah being repeated for the third time.
The first time was in Elijah the Tishbite. The second time that this ministry was manifested on Earth, in the midst of the Hebrew people, it was in Elisha in a double portion. And for the third time it was manifested on Earth in the midst of the Hebrew people in John the Baptist, preparing the way for the Lord. And the fourth time that this ministry was manifested on Earth was in the Reverend William Branham, forerunning the Second Coming of Christ. And the fifth occasion in which that ministry will be manifested on Earth is in the manifestation of the Two Olive Trees.
One of the Two Olive Trees is Elijah (that is, Elijah’s ministry manifested again on Earth) and the other of the Two Olive Trees is Moses. In other words, the ministries of Moses and Elijah will be manifested again here on Earth.
And now, it is for the Last Day or end time that these ministries will be here on Earth being manifested by the Holy Spirit.
And now we will see how these ministries will be manifested, so that we may know the promises made by Christ, by God, for the Last Day; because all the other promises pertaining to the Last Day are contained in the greater promise, which is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Now let’s see what Elijah will be manifested in his fifth manifestation as one of the Two Olive Trees. Reverend William Branham says in the message of The Seals, in the “Questions and Answers” part, on page 399 of the book of The Seals, question number 11, which is asked and it says2:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth in the days of Ahab, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?”
The answer was:
“I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men, of their spirit. Because, see when Elijah had already 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.”
What will be the ministry of Elijah, Elijah coming for the fifth time, as one of the Two Olive Trees, on the Last Day, at the end time? He will be (what?) a man anointed with that ministerial spirit; a man in whom the Holy Spirit will be anointing him with that ministry of Elijah for the fifth time; and he will be a man of this time. That is what the Reverend William Branham says, in whom the Holy Spirit was operating the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time; but now he is speaking how the ministry of Elijah will be operated for the fifth time: he will be a man anointed with that ministerial spirit, a man of this time.
Now we can see what is the coming or the promise of God to send a prophet whom He already sent in the past, came and had his ministry. When God promises him again, it is the ministry of that prophet in another man, in another prophet.
And now, on page 449 of the book of The Seals also, it says3:
“89. Now, there is only one person could fulfill that, only one Spirit that’s ever been on the earth, that I know of. Would either be…It would have to be Elijah, in his time. And it was predicted that it would be, which is nothing but the Spirit of Christ.
90. When Christ come, He was the fullness. He was the Prophet.”
Now notice, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ in the prophet Elijah was the one who operated that ministry; and He is the one who operates the ministries in the prophets. The Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, being in a messenger of God, can operate the ministry that He has promised for that time.
And now, what are the three great ministries promised for the Last Day? They are the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, the ministry of Moses for the second time and the ministry of Jesus for the second time. Those are the three main characters that God has promised for the Last Day, their ministries will be on this Earth again.
Now, let’s see what the Reverend William Branham tells us about Elijah. In the book of Quotations, page 41, he speaks about Elijah, verse 330; he says (he is speaking of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ)4:
“‘And signified (in other words, he revealed it) this by his angel unto John.’ We do not know who the angel was. The Bible doesn’t say who the angel was. But we know that it was a prophet (in other words, that Angel who revealed to John the apostle the book of Revelation is a prophet), ’cause the Bible later said, that, ‘I Jesus have sent my angel to testify these things which must shortly come to pass.’ Then we find out that when John started to worship the angel, the angel said, ‘See that you do it not.’ Revelation 22 (verse 7 to 10), I believe it is. And he said, ‘For I am of thy fellowservants and of the prophets.’ It might have been Elijah. It might have been one of the prophets (that is, some of the prophets). John was an apostle. But this prophet was sent (that is, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ). And John, being an apostle, look at the nature of the rest of his epistles (that is, the other epistoles of John), prove that it wasn’t John wrote it (in other words, it proves that John did not write the Revelation, but that it was a revelation sent to him through the Angel of Jesus Christ)…”
John the apostle was only the scribe; but the revelation was not from John, but from the Angel of Jesus Christ, who received it from Jesus Christ to give it to the apostle Saint John, and he gave it in symbols; but those symbols have a meaning.
And if God, as He sent His Angel to the apostle Saint John to give him the revelation of Revelation in a symbolic form, if He sends him to us to make known the meaning of those symbols, then we will really understand the book of Revelation.
And now, it says:
“…because it has no nature like John.”
In other words, that way of speaking, of expressing what is in the book of Revelation, is not the form that John uses in his letters; therefore, that is the nature of another person, the form of expression of another person, not of the apostle Saint John. John only wrote what the Angel showed him. It says:
“Take First John, Second John, so forth, and read it. And look at the nature of that, then look at the nature of this (in other words, then look at nature Revelation, the way all that apocalyptic revelation is expressed). John was a writer and was an apostle, but this is the spirit of a prophet.”
And what is a spirit of a prophet?, since in the book of Revelation you will see what it tells us here. In Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, it says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets (Who is the God of the spirits of the prophets? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
What is he coming…? Showing the things that should happen. When God sends a spirit of a prophet, what does he do? Showing the things that must come to pass.
Whenever God sent a prophet to Earth, it was a spirit of a prophet coming in human flesh in the midst of the human race; in order to have his ministry here on Earth in the midst of the people, he has to come in human flesh.
Now, a spirit of a prophet is a theophanic body of the sixth dimension. And this Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ still, notice, here, when he gives the revelation of Revelation to the apostle Saint John, he is still in theophanic body; he is a prophet, but remember that that was about two thousand years ago. And now, he gives the revelation of Revelation to John in this symbolic way.
Now, John was transported —he tells us— to the Lord’s Day, and he was transported in spirit5</sup>; and now John also being in spirit receives the revelation of this spirit of a prophet.
And remember, when it speaks of two people being in spirit: John being in the spirit and the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ being also in the spirit, that is being in their theophanic bodies, which are bodies similar to our bodies but from another dimension: from the sixth dimension. That is where the spirits of the prophets come from.
And now, let’s continue reading what he continues to say; it says:
“…but this is the spirit of a prophet. It’s a different person (a different person from John the apostle).”
And now, let’s see what the Reverend William Branham also tells us on page 301 and 302 about this Angel. He says [The Seals]6:
“Now, now, notice now. And then according to the—the time that God was going to deliver the antediluvian world, He sent the eagle.”
Remember, the prophets are represented in eagles, as God is represented in eagle, in an eagle; and God also represents His people in eagles. That is why when He delivered the Hebrew people, He says He took them and carried them on eagle’s wings7.
And now, every prophet that God sends is an eagle.
It also tells us, of the believers, it says that they will lift up their wings like eagles, it says that they will run or fly and will not get tired8.
And now, they will also be rejuvenated like the eagle9</sup>; and that is type and figure of the resurrection of the dead in Christ in young, immortal and incorruptible and glorified bodies, and the transformation of us, where we will be rejuvenated like the eagle obtaining a new and eternal and glorified body, equal to the body of Jesus Christ; and we will fly and go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
“And time He (God) was going to deliver Israel, He sent the eagle (Who was that eagle? Moses). Do you believe that the time, even on John, on the Isle of Patmos, this Message was so perfect that He couldn’t trust It with an Angel? You know, an angel is a messenger. But do you know the messenger was a prophet? You believe that?Let’s prove it. Revelation 22, let’s see if it was a eagle. Yeah. See, he was a… Sure, he was an angel, he’s the messenger, but it was a prophet that revealed this whole Book of Revelation to him. Revelation, the 22nd chapter and the 19th verse, I believe that’s right if I have got it written down here… 22:19, I may be wrong. No. 22:9, that’s what it is. I was looking at 22:9. That’s right. Oh, yes, here. / Watch what John seen here.
‘…I John saw these things, and heard them. / …And when I… heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed these things, which showed me these things.’
And, ‘he,’ then, ‘the angel,’ see. Then said he to me, See thou do it not:…No true prophet would be worshipped, or messenger of any kind, see. That’s to God alone.
‘Then said he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book: worship God.’
Revelation 22:8-9
See? Now, the Book was so important, that, It is the Word of God. Now watch. And when the Word of God is brought forth, It’s got to be brought by the prophet, because that’s who the Word of God comes to.”
That is why the Bible we have has come through men anointed with the Spirit of God, through prophets sent by God at different times.
And now let’s see what it tells us on page 326.
Remember that the Reverend William Branham told us in the book of Quotations that it could be Elijah or one of the prophets.
And now, what are the prophets promised to come in the Last Day? Elijah (that is in his fifth manifestation), Moses (that is in his second manifestation) and Jesus. Those are the three great ministries promised to be manifested in the Last Day.
And now, let’s see what it says on page 326 of the book of The Seals10:
“Moses will be the same person. Now, and we find out, in Revelation 22:8, the same thing.”
We find Moses in Revelation 22, verse 8!:
“Moses will be the same person. Now, and we find out, in Revelation 22:8, the same thing.”
And now we can have a clearer picture of what the divine promise is for when God sends or promises to send a prophet who has come in the past.
He sends that ministry that was in that prophet, He sends it again in another man; and, since it is the ministry that was in that prophet being operated again by the same Spirit of God that was in that prophet, being operated in another man: the ministry is called by the name of that first prophet, but the veil of flesh is called by the name that his parents gave him; because it changes the veil of flesh, and therefore the name changes, because it carries the name that the parents gave to that veil of flesh.
Now, let’s see as to THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY: in the promise of the Last Day, of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, are summarized all the other promises for the Last Day, in other words, they are all summarized there.
And now let’s see some of the promises for the Last Day:
- the Coming of the Son of Man,
- the Angels of the Son of Man,
- the Great Voice of Trumpet,
- the elect being gathered,
- the end of the world,
- the Last Day,
- the resurrection of the dead in Christ,
- the transformation of us who live,
- the rapture of the sons and daughters of God (that is, of the Church of Jesus Christ),
- the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (place where we will go when we are changed, those who are alive and the dead are resurrected in Christ, and raptured, in other words, caught away to Heaven, and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to the House of our heavenly Father).
And there are other promises; for example, the Millennial Kingdom of Christ as well, and countless other promises, which are appointed to be fulfilled in the Last Day. And the Last Day is the seventh millennium, because “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90, verse 4, which is a psalm of the prophet Moses.
And the last days are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium, and the last days of the week are the fifth day, sixth day and seventh day, which are Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
And now, the last days before God are the last millenniums for human beings, which are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium.
That is why, since the days of Jesus until now, we are already living or have been living in the last days, in other words, in the last millenniums. When Jesus was 4 to 7 years old, the fifth millennium began, and therefore the last days began.
And that is why “God spoke through His Son (when?) in the last days,” says Saint Paul in Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 2. See, right there he says it clearly; and in saying this, even though two thousand years have passed from Christ until now, Paul was not wrong: he was right, because the last days are the last millenniums for human beings.
“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…”
When does he say that God spoke through His Son, through Jesus Christ? It says “in these last days”, and it has been two thousand years —approximately— that Christ was here in human flesh and God was in Christ in all His fullness manifested speaking through Him; just as He spoke through the other prophets, now He was speaking through Jesus Christ in all His fullness, in that full manifestation of God in Jesus.
“…whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”
Saint Peter also, in the book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 14 to 20, tells us that God promised to pour out His Holy Spirit upon all flesh for the last days; and he shows them there that what they have received is the Holy Spirit, as God promised: to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh11</sup>; and this is upon all flesh that repents of his sins, receives Christ as his Savior and washes his sins in the Blood of Christ. The Holy Spirit is for those people; it is a promise from God. And that promise is for the last days, which began with the fifth millennium, because the last days before God are the last millenniums for human beings.
And that is why, since the days of the apostles, God has been pouring out His Holy Spirit upon all flesh that has received Christ as their Savior and has washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ; and He still continues to pour out His Holy Spirit because we are still in the last days.
And now, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already in the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium; but if we leave the calendar as it is, well there is only 1 year with 9 months and some days left for the sixth millennium to end, and therefore for the second of the last days to end and the third of the last days to begin. And the third of the last days is the last of the last days; it is the last day of which Christ spoke when He said12: “and I will raise him up at the last day”, in other words, in the seventh millennium from Adam until now or third millennium from Christ until now.
Now, we can see where we are in the Program of God. And we ask ourselves: “Has God’s calendar fallen behind?” And if God’s calendar has not fallen behind, we are already at the Last Day, the last of the last days.
Therefore, these promises, which revolve around the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, must be fulfilled at the Last Day; and all these promises will be fulfilled progressively.
And Christ said13: “Watch, that ye may be accounted worthy to avoid all these things that shall come to pass (in other words, the divine judgments that will fall upon the Earth), and to stand before the Son of Man,” because the Son of Man comes with His Angels. And the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels is the greatest event of all the promises that God has made for the Last Day.
On the Second Coming of Christ, on the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, depends the call to the elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet. Christ says: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.” (Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31). And on the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels depends the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive. On the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels depends the rapture or catching away of the elect to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In other words, everything depends on the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Christ said in John, chapter 14 and verse 1 and on, as follows:
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many mansions (in other words, many bodies) : if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Now see how for the Last Day, what the believers in Jesus Christ need is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels to call and gather together all His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, revolves around the Second Coming of Christ; in order to be called and gathered together all the elect of God, and prepared to be changed at the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium.
Now, in what year will the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive take place? We do not know. But when the resurrection of the dead in Christ occurs, you can see the calendar and say: “Here it is. Here is the year where they have resurrected.” And know that when we see them resurrected (because they will appear to us), we will be transformed; and you will be able to see the calendar again and say: “And my transformation, look at where it was: in this year that is here</em>; look at the year,” and you will be able to see the month also.
And then you can look in the mirror and say, the one who was at least 80 years old, say: “And what Christ said, that He would give us a new body, and that it will be an immortal, incorruptible body, a glorified body, a young body, is a reality.” And those who do not know, those who do not know this promise, they will not be able to understand how their believing grandfather has become a young man; but it is a divine promise.
And the gray hairs will go away, the wrinkles too, and we will all be young, representing 18 to 21 years of age; and it is in an immortal, incorruptible and glorified body, like the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now we can see how important it is to know THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY</strong>; because in the fulfillment of the promise of the Last Day come all the blessings that Christ has promised for His Church, for the believers in Him who will be living in the Last Day; and for those who lived in past ages, there comes the promise for the resurrection of the dead in Christ.
Now, in order to understand all these things that must happen in this end time and to know the promise of the Last Day perfectly, Christ tells us14: “Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be done hereafter.”
Now, where are we going to go up to? We have to go up to the stage that pertains to the Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Day.
The Church of Jesus Christ has been growing from stage to stage: it began in the land of Israel (down here, in this little line); and then it went to Asia Minor through the ministry of Saint Paul, and there the elect of his time were called; and then the Church of Jesus Christ continued to grow: it went to Europe, where it had five stages, and there it grew more. It is growing as a mountain; and as it receives the sons and daughters of God, the Church of Jesus Christ grows.
Just like in a family: when a couple gets married, in a year or two they grow up because they already have the first son or daughter; and then in the second or third year they have the second son or daughter, and he grows up: the family grows up; and so it grows up. And some grow so much that they reach the dozen, and some go beyond the dozen; and then they already have a big family; which at first is hard to raise; but after they are already raised, if they were taught well and are good at heart, then they will be a help to their parents.
Now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been growing in that way as God has been carrying out His different stages and has sent His different messengers.
Then came the stage of North America, where he sent the Reverend William Branham for the seventh age of the gentile Church; and he also became the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, who came with the spirit and power of Elijah. He was not literally Elijah, but the ministry of Elijah was in the Reverend William Branham operated by the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit that operated it in Elijah the Tishbite and operated it in Elisha and operated it in John the Baptist.
And now, He operated it in the Reverend William Branham for the fourth time; and He will operate it for the fifth time as one of the Two Olive Trees in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, for the Age of the Cornerstone Jesus Christ sends His Angel Messenger:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.15”
And the Sent One of Jesus Christ in each stage is always sent in and to His Church, and he comes bringing the Message of his age.
And now, the last Sent One for the Church of Jesus Christ is sent in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, a stage that is being fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean.
So we have the greatest privilege of all nations: the privilege that the Age of the Cornerstone has fallen in Latin America and the Caribbean, it has fallen on the Latin American and Caribbean territory.
And just as with living stones in each stage Christ has been building His spiritual Temple, His Church; for this end time with living stones, with Latin American and Caribbean human beings, He is building the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.
And that is a privilege so great that we cannot yet understand it in all its fullness; but looking through this diagram, we can see that we have the greatest privilege any continent can have.
God is in the midst of His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Latin American territory, carrying out the Work of the Last Day, of the end time; where He calls and gathers His elect in the Age of the Cornerstone with a Great Voice of Trumpet, and reveals the mysteries for the Last Day, reveals to us all these things that must happen soon, in this end time; and thus He opens the Scriptures to us, He opens all these prophecies for this end time, and fills us with the knowledge of God’s Program, and prepares us to be changed and caught up to Heaven and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
That is why THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY is so important; God’s promise, the Jesus Christ’s promise for the Last Day: the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Now, the ministry of Moses, Elijah and Jesus, are promised to be manifested here on Earth. And we have already seen that the ministry of Elijah will be manifested in the Angel of Jesus Christ, and the ministry of Moses too, and the ministry of Jesus too. But the Angel of Jesus Christ is neither literally Elijah, nor literally Moses, nor literally the Lord Jesus Christ; it is only his ministries, the ministries of these three great characters, being placed by the Holy Spirit.
The same Holy Spirit that was in Elijah the Tishbite, in Moses and in Jesus, being in the Angel of Jesus Christ. He is the one that has all the ministries. And He operated them —those three great ministries— in Moses, in Elijah and in Jesus; and for the Last Day He will operate them in His Angel Messenger.
And thus He will call and gather His elect with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, where He will gather us together in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and He will prepare us: He will fill us with the knowledge of all these things that must shortly come to pass; and thus He will prepare us to be transformed and raptured in this end time.
Now look, Christ said: “Come up hither, and I will show you the things that will come to pass after these.” Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1.
And now let’s see through whom it is that He makes known to us all these things. Chapter 22, verse 6, says (of Revelation):
“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.”
Who did He send? His Messenger Angel. What for? To show His servants the things that must happen soon.
The things that Christ said He would make known to us, now He sends His Angel Messenger, in whom Jesus Christ comes in Holy Spirit manifested, and through His Angel Messenger reveals to His Church all these things that must shortly come to pass. He places in the heart and in the mouth of His Angel Messenger that Word, that prophetic Message, of all the things that must happen soon; and all these things that must come to pass are spoken by the Angel of Jesus Christ, they are spoken to the Church of Jesus Christ.
What do God’s prophets speak? The things that must happen, they come prophesying the things that must happen. And this book of Revelation, notice, it is a prophetic book: it comes by the Holy Spirit through a prophet messenger —called the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ—, who comes prophesying the things that must shortly come to pass.
He prophesied them to John with symbols; and at the Last Day he is sent to the Church of Jesus Christ to make known all these prophetic symbols, and thus to make known to us all these things that must shortly come to pass. Revelation, chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, says:
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy (See that it is a prophecy? And blessed are those who read and those who hear the words of this prophecy), and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”
Now see the blessing of reading and hearing the words of prophecy in this book.
And for the end time, the Last Day, in which Jesus Christ sends His Angel Messenger, he comes showing the meaning of these prophecies that are in symbols, he comes showing it to His Church; so that His Church (the Church of Jesus Christ) knows all these things that must happen soon, which are in symbols, knows the reality, the meaning of those symbols; and thus be called and gathered and prepared to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
In Revelation, chapter 22, it lso tells us in verse 9… let’s see… Verses 7 and on, it says:
“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.”
You see it’s a prophetic book?; because… it says:
“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.”
It was the Angel of Jesus Christ who showed him all these things that John saw here in symbols in these apocalyptic visions.
“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.”
The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is neither Elijah, nor Moses, nor Jesus; he is only the instrument of Jesus Christ through whom the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, will be operating the ministry of Moses for the second time, the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time and the ministry of Jesus for the second time; to make known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; and thus to be called, gathered and prepared to be transformed in the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium.
Now, in what year of the seventh millennium will the dead in Christ be resurrected and we who are alive be transformed? We do not know; but the important thing is to be hearing the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet making known to us all these things that must happen soon; that Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of Christ through His Angel Messenger, revealing to us all these things that must happen soon; and thus we will be being prepared for our transformation.
We have seen through the Scripture what is THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY: the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; and all other promises for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ revolve around that promise.
And Jesus says: “Pray that you may be accounted worthy to avoid all these things that are coming, and to stand before the Son of Man.” In other words, to stand before THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY being fulfilled in the midst of His Church; to stand before the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the Holy Spirit manifesting Himself, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus.
The ministry of the Son of Man, the ministry of Jesus, will be operated by the Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, and also the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Elijah.
And to stand before that promise of the Last Day, to stand before that manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, is the greatest blessing a person can have. And that identifies him as an elect of God, a firstborn of God, who in this Last Day would be hearing the Voice of God, because “he that is of God (whose voice does he hear?) hears the Voice of God.16” “My sheep hear my Voice and they follow me.17”
Now notice how the Voice of Jesus Christ, the Voice of the Holy Spirit, will be speaking to us at the Last Day and will be making known to us all these things: through His Angel Messenger. And he who is of God: the sheep of Jesus Christ will be hearing the Voice of Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger.
“THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY.”
We have clearly seen what is THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAY: the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; and all the other promises revolve around the fulfillment of that promise: the resurrection of the dead, the transformation of us who live, the Last Trumpet, the gathering of the elect, the rapture to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, all these promises revolve around the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me too; and may soon the number of God’s elect be completed, and may we all soon be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
May God continue to bless you, may God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention.
