Good afternoon, fellow ministers in the Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; a Kingdom that is in the spiritual realm or phase as the Mystical Body of Christ or Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, after Jesus Christ was on Mount Transfiguration with Peter, James, and John, where the Coming of the Kingdom of God was shown, there we have the order of the Coming of the Kingdom of God. And after they see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ about His going to Jerusalem, then they see Jesus Christ transfigured as well. And all of that speaks to us of the Second Coming of Christ in the order of the Coming of the Kingdom of God.
For He went away to then come and establish His Kingdom on Earth, He went to receive a Kingdom. That is what it says in Saint Luke, chapter 19, verse 12… from 11 to 27, it says:
“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin (in other words, it was a coin):
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”
A pound is a coin that is equivalent to one hundred drachmas.
And now, in this parable it speaks to us of a nobleman who went to receive a kingdom and return; that is Jesus Christ.
And now, that Kingdom is the one He will establish on Earth, which will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David with the Throne of David. That will be the Coming of the Kingdom of God and the restoration of the Kingdom of God in the midst of the Hebrew people and of all nations, because it will be a Kingdom that will rule over Israel and over all nations.
And speaking of the restoration of the Kingdom of God, we must understand that there is a time when that will be carried out: it will be in the time of the restoration of all things.
In the book of Acts, chapter 3, it tells us of a time for restoration. Chapter 3, verses 18 to 21, Saint Peter says:
“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
And here it speaks to us of the times of restitution of all things. The Coming of the Lord is appointed for that time.
And now, to get to know the time of the restoration of all things, our subject is: “THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.”
For the restoration of all things, there will be a great sign that will identify the time of and for the restoration of all things; and therefore, that will be the time for the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord.
In Saint Matthew, chapter 17, after Jesus came down from Mount Transfiguration with Peter, James, and John, they ask Jesus a very important question. Chapter 17, verses 10 to 13, says… let’s start from… verse 9 and on, says:
“And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, 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.”
For the restoration of all things, Christ says that Elijah will come first. In other words, there will be no restoration of all things if Elijah doesn’t appear first to 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.”
The ministry of Elijah is very mysterious to the followers of Christ at that time and to the followers of Christ at all times, and to the Jews as well; because the ministry of Elijah is promised to be manifested on Earth.
And we see that every time it is manifested, after the first occasion, the other manifestations are the spirit and power of Elijah, operating the ministry of Elijah in another man. That is the Holy Spirit coming to different men in different ages and in different dispensations, operating the ministry of Elijah.
- The ministry of Elijah the Tishbite was operated by the Holy Spirit, by the Angel of the Covenant.
- And then, the one who succeeded Elijah was Elisha, who asked for a double portion of the Spirit that was upon Elijah; and he received it, for Elijah told him: “You have asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken, then you will obtain what you have asked for, you will receive it.”[1] And since he saw when Elijah left in a chariot of fire,[2] the ministering spirit of Elijah passed on to Elisha; as God had told Elijah: to go and anoint Elisha as prophet in his place.[3] Therefore, the ministry of Elijah continues on Earth in another man named Elisha.
When the sons of the prophets saw Elisha open the Jordan with Elijah’s mantle, like the prophet Elijah had done, and he crossed the Jordan from West to East – or from East to West, which represents passing through death without seeing death; because the Jordan represents death. Like Joshua with the priests and the ark of the covenant and the people of Israel: they crossed over Jordan on dry ground, without seeing death.[4]
And now, when Elisha returns (from East to West), the sons of the prophets said: “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha.”[5] There we have the Elijah, the ministry of Elijah being repeated for the second time.
- And then for the third time: Christ points to John the Baptist as the Elijah promised for that time, as the forerunner of the Coming of the Lord of that time. And after that, the promised Messiah was present there, whose forerunner John was: he prepared the way for Him and announced that He would come after him, and that He was greater than him.
Then we find that there was a ministerial relationship between the forerunner and the One forerun, and —therefore— of the forerunner laying the groundwork for a new dispensation which was overlapping there; and he introduced the dispensational messenger of a new dispensation: the Dispensation of Grace, which was overlapping in those days.
And therefore, in the midst of Christianity we will find the ministry of Elijah related to Christ:
- We find it manifested in the Dispensation of Grace, for the fourth time, in the messenger of the seventh age of the Gentile Church, that is, in the messenger of the Age of Laodicea, which is the third stage of the restoration of the Church.
The first stage was with Luther: in that Lutheran age, of justification.
The second stage was in the Wesleyan age, therefore, the messenger was Wesley, for the second stage of the restoration, just as Luther was for the first stage.
And for the third stage, the Pentecostal stage, the messenger was Reverend William Branham, with the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time; therefore, that age has a name: we find that it is the age of brotherly love.
But then comes the fourth stage, which is the stage of Love Divine, which is the stage for the restoration of all things.
Love Divine is what conquers all, and all the other virtues are found in love; and therefore, all the ages will be in that Age of the Cornerstone when they resurrect.
The Age of Love Divine is the stage of the restoration of all things, it is the stage of the Word; and by the… – because the Word is creative, the Word of God, a Work of Divine creation will be carried out, and will restore all things.
- At that time, the ministry of Elijah will be in the midst of Christianity for the fifth time, and the ministry of Moses for the second time, being operated by the Holy Spirit in a man; and the Holy Spirit will be operating the ministry of Jesus Christ in the midst of His Church. That’s why Reverend William Branham said that the Seventh Trumpet (which is Moses and Elijah) is the same as the Seventh Seal (which is the Coming of the Lord);[6] because those three great ministries will be manifested there by the Holy Spirit.
And the ministry that the Holy Spirit will be operating in the midst of His Church will be the same thing as the ministry that will be operating in the midst of the Hebrew people, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe; to call them and gather them, from where? From every place on Earth. Because if He is going to call them to gather them in one place: they are in another place; He has to call them to put them in the place appointed by God.
And now, for the restoration of the twelve tribes of Israel, we have the prophecy of the Coming of Elijah with Moses, which is the Coming of the Two Olive Trees, the Coming of the Two Anointed Ones who stand before the Presence of the Lord; which Zechariah saw in chapter 4, verse 1 to 14, and the apostle John in chapter 11 verse 1 to 14 [Revelation].
Under those ministries of Moses and Elijah, of the Two Anointed Ones, the Seventh Trumpet sounds. And after that Trumpet sounds, when that Trumpet sounds, something major takes place; and that Trumpet is sounded by Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees.
Chapter 11, verse 15 and on, says [Revelation]:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
That Seventh Trumpet, Reverend William Branham says, is and are Moses and Elijah, the Two Anointed Ones. That’s calling the 144,000 Jews or 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe. And here, it proclaims: “The kingdoms of…” it says:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
There is an announcement in Heaven, which John hears. A proclamation is made from Heaven when the seventh angel sounded the Trumpet, that Seventh Trumpet. And that Seventh Trumpet, like the Seventh Seal, is the Coming of the Lord; because what the Seventh Trumpet is to the Hebrews, is the Seventh Seal to the Church.
And now, notice, the proclamation in Heaven is that the kingdoms of the world have become of our Lord; that is the proclamation for the restoration of God’s Kingdom on Earth. And all of that takes place under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees. And that is why the ministry of Elijah will restore all things.
And now, on some occasions we will find that it says it will be Elijah, and in other occasions we will find that it says it will be the Lord in His Coming; because the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord, is the same as the Seventh Trumpet to the Jews, or to the Hebrews, which is Moses and Elijah; and if it’s the same, then it’s not different.
In plain words: when the Church of the Lord is seeing the Coming of the Lord, and the Jews see that, they will be seeing the Coming of Moses and Elijah; and when the Church is seeing the Coming of the Two Olive Trees for the Jews (or the Hebrews), She will be seeing the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord; because it’s the same thing.
And what will they be seeing then? Reverend William Branham says (so you can see what they will be seeing), in the book of Quotations, paragraph 1471[7]:
1471 – “[212] That wasn’t Elijah; That was the Spirit of God on Elijah; Elijah was just a man. Now, we’ve had Elijahs, and Elijahs’ coats, and Elijahs’ mantles, and Elijahs’ everything. But the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Matthew the seventeen-… (but he corrects himself here and says): Luke 17:30, is, the Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people. Not a man, God! But it’ll come through a prophet.”
What will the people of God be seeing when they see that manifestation of Elijah, the manifestation of the Son of Man? They will be seeing a prophet; but those who will have prophetic vision, they will see the Spirit of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant veiled and revealed in a man; and therefore, they will be seeing the Son of Man manifested through a man of this Earth.
Everything that has to do with the Son of Man, has to do with a prophet; because Son of Man means ‘a prophet.’
1471 – “[212] Now, He never had two major prophets at the same time, never, in the world.”
And therefore, if He is going to manifest two major ministries, He will do so in a man, in a prophet, in a major prophet, a dispensational prophet for the end time. And what we saw manifested partially in the fourth manifestation of Elijah, we will see it manifested without limitations in the fifth manifestation of Elijah, where Christ will be veiling Himself and revealing Himself through a prophet at the Last Day.
That Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Messenger to Israel; but He comes for His Church. It is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit. In plain words, it is Christ in His heavenly body; but He will veil Himself and reveal Himself through a prophet at the Last Day; and we will have the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet there, we will have the ministry of Elijah, the ministry of Moses, the ministry of the Two Anointed Ones, and the ministry of Jesus Christ, manifested by the only One who has ministries and who operates ministries through human beings: that is, the Holy Spirit manifested at the end time.
And now, for this end time, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant in Holy Spirit, operating the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, of Moses and Elijah and Jesus, will restore all things at the time appointed for the restoration of all things.
And now, we can see that when it says it will be Elijah, and in other places it may say that it will be Jesus, or Christ, or the Messiah: that is because the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet are the same.
The Seventh Trumpet is Moses and Elijah, and the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord. The Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, because the Lord comes, the Son of Man comes, with His Angels.[8]
That is why on Mount Transfiguration (where He showed the order of the Second Coming of Christ) Moses and Elijah appear there, as well as Jesus Christ glorified; and they are talking about His going to Jerusalem. And at the Last Day there will also be talk of His going to Jerusalem, because that is where the Throne of David and Kingdom of David will be restored.
“THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.”
Now, notice, we saw that the mystery of Moses – or of the Seventh Trumpet is the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah. And the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord, Reverend William Branham says in the book of The Seals, page 469 in Spanish [“The Seventh Seal,” p. 33 in Eng.], he says that the seventh angel of the seven angels who appeared to him in the year 1963… which were flying from West to East; and he was standing there looking from East to West, and they were coming flying from West to East.
In that, God was representing what will be happening at this end time; He was setting the type and figure there. That’s why he had to go to the West, to meet those Angels; and then he was sent to the East to open the mystery of the Seals.
He says that one of the angels was different from the rest. Six angels were common or ordinary, but the seventh angel was the most notable and the brightest; and he says that was the one who lifted him up.[9] And all of that happened in the West. And all the ages were represented there; and he shows that those angels are the messengers of the different stages of the Church.
Now, he says that there were seven angels there. He saw those seven angels, not including himself; if he counted himself, then there were eight angels there.
Now, regarding that seventh angel that he speaks of, since there are seven angels of the Church —and Reverend William Branham is the seventh, of the seventh age—, then the Angel who was different corresponds to another stage of the Church, a higher and more notable stage than the other stages.
He says: “He was the one who lifted me up” (that speaks of a rapture): he was lifted up in spirit, in spiritual body. They were all in heavenly bodies.
He also says that those angels formed the beard and the hair of the Lord. In the message “Trying To Do God A Service Without It Being God’s Will,” or “Trying To Do God A Service Without Being The Will Of God,” (there are two messages)… I believe it’s the message “Trying To Do God A Service Without It Being God’s Will,” page 22 to 26, he says that the Angel who was different from the rest was the one who formed the white wig, the top part.[10] It’s because that Angel, along with his group, will form the top part of the Church of the Lord.
He says that Angel was different from the rest, therefore, his age or stage will be different from the other stages, it will be a stage in which the other stages will be represented; it will be the stage for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and transformation of us who are alive, it will be the stage of adoption for all of God’s sons and daughters.
Speaking of that Angel, Reverend William Branham says: “He was the One with the Seventh Seal.”[11] Therefore, when you see the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, when you see, understand, when the mystery of the Seventh Seal is opened: it will be the mystery of the Angel who was different from the rest, because that is the Angel who had the Seventh Seal.
In that Angel, just as Christ in Holy Spirit was manifested in each angel-messenger, Christ will be manifested in that Angel; and Christ will become manifested there in all His fullness. That will be the Angel who will be adopted alive. The rest of the angels didn’t receive their adoption while they were alive.
The physical adoption will be the transformation of our bodies. The spiritual adoption is the new birth, where we obtain the Spirit of Christ, we obtain the heavenly body, and therefore, we are born into the Kingdom of God, we are born into Eternal Life. But we still need the physical adoption, which will be our transformation, where we will obtain the eternal and glorified body, just like the body of Jesus Christ; and then we will leave this earthly kingdom, and physically enter into the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Christ, to live in that Kingdom physically for the Millennium and for all eternity.
The ministry of Elijah, the ministry of Moses, and the ministry of Jesus will be manifested under the ministry of the Holy Spirit in that messenger; but that Angel won’t be Elijah, nor Moses, nor Jesus; he will be a man who will appear in this time, who will be born on Earth.
That’s why Reverend William Branham said on page 399 of the book of The Seals, [“Questions And Answers On The Seals,” p. 20 in Eng.] that he believed the fifth Elijah would be a man of this time, in whom God would operate the ministry of Elijah. And on page 408 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, [“Questions And Answers On The Seals,” p. 29 in Eng.] he said that the fourth Elijah was not the fifth Elijah; and if he said it, that’s the way it is. They are two different people: one is a messenger of an age, and the other is a dispensational messenger.
Now, we can see that all of that is for THE TIME OF THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
In that time when the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, will be manifested, veiled, and revealed in a man on this Earth, that will be the time for the restoration of all things, for the fulfillment of the coming of Elijah for the fifth time, Moses for the second time, and Jesus Christ for the second time. The mystery surrounding all of that is that it will be the Spirit of God, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in His heavenly body, veiled and revealed in a man, in a prophet of the Last Day, for the manifestation of the Son of Man. Those will be days like the days of Noah, and like the days of Lot.[12]
At that time: the restoration of the Word under the preaching of the Gospel of Grace and of the Gospel of the Kingdom, for the Church and for the Hebrew people.
The fourth Elijah restored the Word, the apostolic Gospel to the Church, but not everyone was in the Mystical Body of Christ yet; but at this end time the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be completed.
As the Jews brought the Gospel to the Gentiles through the ministry of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, the Gentiles will take It to the Jews; and the rapture will come. That is on page 30 of the book of The Ages in Spanish [“The Revelation Of Jesus Christ,” p. 36 in Eng.]. And also, on page 14 of the book of The Ages [“The Revelation Of Jesus Christ,” pp. 22-23 in Eng.], he also tells us something about the ministry of the Two Olive Trees.
For the Gentiles to take the Gospel to the Jews, since the Gospel returns to the Jews through Moses and Elijah, the Two Anointed Ones, then where must the Two Anointed Ones be? In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; it will be the Two Anointed Ones with the Holy Spirit. And where is the Holy Spirit being given? In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet are the Coming of the Lord with His Angels.
And now, all of that is appointed to be fulfilled in the times of the restoration of all things; for the restoration of the Word to the Church and to the Hebrew people: to bring about the restoration of the Church to physical Eternal Life in eternal and glorified bodies (for the dead in Christ with the resurrection and for the living with the transformation); and for the restoration of Israel, for the restoration of the twelve tribes of Israel, so that the restoration of the Kingdom of David and Throne of David may take place, which will be the restoration of the earthly Kingdom of God and the Throne of God.
King David and King Solomon sat on the Throne of God, the Throne of the Lord over the Earth, over Israel; and the Kingdom of David was also called “the Kingdom of the Lord over Israel.” That is in chapter 28, verses 4 to 6, of First Chronicles; and First Chronicles, chapter 29, verses 22 to 26. There, it clearly indicates that the Kingdom of David and Throne of David are the Kingdom of God and Throne of God over Israel. And that Kingdom and Throne won’t only rule over Israel, but over all nations.
Therefore, the Kingdom of God will be restored on Earth: in Israel and over Israel, and over all the nations; that is, over the entire planet Earth. And then the human race will go into the time of Eden, where it will be the honeymoon of Christ with His Church: of Christ, the Lamb, with the Lamb’s Wife, which is His Church.
Within the restoration of all things is the restoration to Eternal Life physically; the restoration of the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of David and Throne of David, to which Christ is heir; as well as the restoration of the Temple.
And now, this restoration of the Temple… Notice, when Solomon built the temple, then, later on it was destroyed; and then the temple was restored, and it was another temple, but it was called the restoration of the temple. And then, later on, it was destroyed; and the temple was restored again, but it was another temple.
We also find Adam as a temple of God, because the human being is a human temple of God. After he sinned, the Temple of God was restored when Jesus Christ appeared on Earth; and He said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”[13] They thought He was speaking of the physical temple that had taken 46 years to build, and that now Christ was telling them to destroy it and that He would raise it up in three days, in other words, that He would perform a miracle; but He wasn’t speaking about that physical temple, rather He was speaking about His Temple, His physical body, where God was dwelling.
And now, Israel has not had a temple for almost two thousand years, because Titus Vespasianus (the Roman general, son of the Roman emperor, and who later became the Roman emperor), together with his army, destroyed the temple that Herod had built, and Israel was left without a temple; the city was also destroyed, and thousands were crucified. In those days, the Hebrew people there in Jerusalem experienced a very terrible stage; but Christ had already prophesied that that temple would be destroyed.
And now, Christ was speaking of His body as the Temple of God, notice, He was crucified, but He was raised in three days: He resurrected glorified; and now it is not a physical mortal body, instead it is a glorified, immortal body.
It was promised in chapter 7 of Saint John, verses 37 to 39, that He would be glorified; He said: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and drink.” “But this He spoke of the Spirit, which those who believed in Him would receive.” He said that out of his belly would flow rivers of living water, referring to the Holy Spirit which those who believed in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, why? Because Jesus Christ was not yet glorified.
And now, Jesus Christ is the human Temple of God, which was glorified; and now we have Him as the glorified Temple of God, the place where God dwells; and therefore, the One who sat on the Throne of God; and through Him, God is reigning from His Throne. All power has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth.[14]
And now, He says in Revelation, chapter 3, verses 20 to 21:
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
The same way. It will be the same way. Christ is sitting at the right hand of God, the Scripture says.[15] The right hand of God means the power of God. All of God’s power is manifested through Jesus Christ; that is why He received all power in Heaven and on Earth. Whoever sits on the Throne has the power, because the power is on the Throne.
And now, it will be the same way in the earthly Kingdom; the way it is in the heavenly Kingdom and the way it is on the heavenly Throne, that is how it will be in the earthly Throne and earthly Kingdom.
In the Kingdom of David and Throne of David it will be the same way it is in the heavenly Kingdom and heavenly Throne; because the earthly Kingdom and earthly Throne of David will be the representation of the heavenly Kingdom and Throne.
The Throne of David, to which Christ is heir, will be occupied, and —therefore— the Kingdom of David will be restored. And Christ will sit and all the nations will be gathered before Him, and they will be judged; and it will be declared that some nations are sentenced to cease to exist; and others will be declared worthy to enter into the Kingdom of God, because of their good treatment towards the least of the brethren of Jesus Christ, meaning, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and also the Hebrew people. That is in Saint Matthew, chapter 25, verses 31 to 46.
Many nations will enter the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Kingdom of David, when the Son of Man sits on His Throne of glory, on the Throne of David; and the Overcomer will sit with Him. There is a great mystery there.
The same way that Christ sat on the Throne of God in Heaven is the way the Overcomer will sit with Christ on His Throne, the Throne of David. That is why in Revelation, chapter 2, verses 26 to 28, it says: “And he that overcomes, to him will I give power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; even as I received of My Father; and I will give him the Morning Star.”
What is the Morning Star? Christ, the Holy Spirit. He will receive Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit; and through him, Christ in Holy Spirit will be working all things, for the restoration of all things: the restoration of the Kingdom of David, the restoration of the Throne of David, the restoration of the twelve tribes of Israel… because without the restoration of those twelve tribes, there will be no restoration of the Kingdom.
The idea that ten tribes were uprooted and ceased to exist already, and will never appear again, is a human idea. According to the Biblical prophecy, not only will two tribes be restored, but all twelve tribes: the southern tribes (the one of Judah and the one of Benjamin, which are the tribes of the southern kingdom) and the ten tribes of the northern kingdom (which pertain to the kingdom of Israel; that is the kingdom that bears the name “Israel”).
And in order for all twelve tribes to have the name: “Israel,” all twelve tribes must be gathered; because onl-… When referring to two tribes, the two southern tribes, the name that is used is: “The kingdom of Judah,” the name “Judah” is used, not the name “Israel”; it can only be used for the kingdom of Judah when it is united with the northern kingdom. But the ten tribes are always called: “Israel.”
That is why Christ also says that He has been sent to seek the lost sheep of Israel; lost.[16] “But the Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost”;[17] therefore, He is the only one who can find them; even if they are humanly lost and it seems like there is no hope because they were already lost.
God doesn’t lose anything. Beyond that, if someone thinks that they are already lost, then the God they believe in is not a Redeemer. But since the Scripture says that God is the Redeemer of Israel[18]: He is going to redeem those tribes. Just as He redeemed Israel from Egypt, He will redeem those ten tribes from among the Gentiles and put them in their land.
That is why the Angel who comes with the Seal of the living God, will call and gather all the tribes, to thus restore Israel as tribes, including the southern tribes; to unify Israel, to restore Israel so that the Kingdom of Israel, the Kingdom of David, and Throne of David, can be restored; and so that Eden can be restored, and so that the Temple of God can be restored, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (that is the spiritual Temple of the Lord).
And therefore, so that the Priestly Order (on Earth) of the heavenly Temple can be restored, so that the Priestly Order of Melchizedek, of the heavenly Temple, can be established on Earth; and so that the Kingdom of God can be restored on Earth, with the kings and priests, led by Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
And we will reign with Him as kings, as priests, and as judges, for a thousand years and then for all eternity; because the Kingdom will be restored. “And the Kingdom shall not be left to other people,” according to Daniel, chapter 2, verses 30 to 45.
Because the Stone cut out without hands, which smites the image in the feet of iron and clay, and breaks them to pieces, and breaks the entire statue to pieces: that Stone grew, It became a great Mountain that filled the whole Earth; which shows that the God of Heaven will establish a Kingdom on Earth that will reign over all nations; and it won’t be left to other people; therefore, that Kingdom will be at a global level.
It’s under that rule that mankind will have everlasting peace; because in that Kingdom, the devil, Satan, or the wicked one, will be bound and cast in the pit, in the bottomless pit.
The devil is the one who removes peace from Earth. The devil came to steal, kill, and destroy; but Christ has come so that we have Eternal Life, to restore the human being to Eternal Life and to the eternal Kingdom of God.
And now, since the Temple of God is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ —the temple that was in Israel no longer exists— in the Millennial Kingdom we will have a Temple formed by living stones, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a heavenly priestly order after the Order of Melchizedek: the heavenly Order of the heavenly Temple, which will be established on Earth.
Notice here, in Hebrews, chapter 7, verse 11 and on, it says:
“If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.”
There was a change of priesthood, and Aaron’s priesthood has now ceased to exist; that earthly priestly order under the Law, and of the earthly temple, ceased to exist; and the one that is in operation is the heavenly Order of Melchizedek; that is the Order that will be established on Earth, which the born-again believers in Christ belong to.
They are a Royal Priesthood, that is, of the Order of Melchizedek; and Jesus Christ is the High Priest of that heavenly Order. And Jesus Christ is also the King of kings and Lord of lords, according to that heavenly Order of the heavenly Kingdom; and we are kings of that Order of the heavenly Kingdom as well.
Christ is also the Judge, because God has made Him the Judge of the living and dead, the Supreme Judge.[19] And “the saints shall judge the world,” according to First Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 1 to 5; and therefore, we are judges of that heavenly Judicial Order, which will be established on Earth as well. That is why Christ said to His disciples: “You shall sit upon twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.” Saint Matthew, chapter 19, verses 26 to 28; and Saint Luke, chapter 22, verses 28 to 30.
All of that pertains to the Kingdom of God that will be established on Earth, where theocracy and monarchy will be fused together.
This matter of twelve thrones with twelve apostles there corresponds to theocracy; they are judges… like in the time of the judges, when God judged Israel through the judges.
And now, for Israel there is a glorious time called “the time…” – or “the times of the restoration of all things.”
“THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.”
We are in the time for the restoration of all things; that is why I am waiting for my transformation, I am waiting for my restoration to physical Eternal Life, which will be the adoption, the redemption of the body, as Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter 8, verses 19 to 23.
Therefore, I am waiting for my transformation, the dead in Christ are waiting for the resurrection in eternal bodies, I am waiting for my transformation. Saint Paul says that those who will be alive will be transformed without seeing death.[20] And who are those people? He is speaking of the elect of the Last Day, who will be in the stage of the restoration of all things.
That stage and connected to that stage is the Tent Vision, which Reverend William Branham says will be the Third Pull; and what we saw manifested in him partially will be manifested in all its fullness.
In that stage of the restoration of all things, in the times of the restoration of all things, the Third Pull (which Reverend William Branham spoke of), will be fulfilled.
That Tent he saw has to appear somewhere; which was not an ordinary tent, it was not a tent like the kind he was used to seeing or having, because he said it was a Tent or a Cathedral;[21] meaning that it had some characteristics that were different from tents used many years ago; a type of tent that not only looked like a tent, but also a cathedral, and a big one.
It has to appear somewhere, because he already saw it; it has to become a reality. Someone must believe it, and through someone, God must bring it into existence.
God is not going to create the Tent; He will have people at the end time, under the ministry of the end time, relevant to the Age of the Cornerstone, who will be working hard, by faith and with faith, with the revelation of what was said; by basing themselves on what was said, they will be working so that what Reverend William Branham saw is materialized.
Therefore, the physical part is for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the time of the restoration of all things. Saint Paul is not going to appear building a giant tent for it to be fulfilled there; neither is the second angel-messenger, nor the third, nor the fourth, nor the fifth. Luther is not going to appear building a big tent with his group, saying: “This is what Reverend William Branham saw.”
The time of Luther already passed. Reverend William Branham was looking to the future. He wasn’t seeing in his time; he was seeing in the future. He was already in another dimension; and he saw activities taking place; and they were not his activities, nor was it his tent either. He saw things happening and miracles happening, and yet he wasn’t ministering; but the Angel told him that he will be there.[22]
Because the seven angels of the seven ages came and met with him… Or could it be that the seven angels of the seven churches came to meet with the One who was different?
And He lifted him up to where he was with the other angels, to this gathering which —as a result— would have an important effect on the East, where he went to preach the Seals; which indicates that, at the Last Day, what will happen in the West will have a great impact on the East, on Israel.
Reverend William Branham says that the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven is the Messenger to Israel. So, who is He? The Holy Spirit, Christ in His heavenly body, the Angel of the Covenant. But he says: “But He comes for His Church, for His Bride.”[23] And he says that when they, the Jews, see Him coming for His Church, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for.”
So, where will they see Him manifested? In the midst of the Church. That is in the Third Pull that Reverend William Branham saw. That is why he was forbidden to go to Israel, because it wasn’t the time yet.[24] The seventh age was not the time; nor was the gap between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone, that wasn’t the time to go to Israel either.
The time for Israel is the Age of the Cornerstone, in the time or the times for the restoration of all things, for the restoration of Israel; for Israel to be restored with all twelve tribes, for the Kingdom of David or Kingdom of God on Earth to be restored, in Israel, for the Throne of David to be restored with a King over Israel and over all nations.
The restoration promised for our time, of all things, notice all the things it contains.
We are in the time of the most – of the greatest blessings for the believers in Christ. We are in the glorious time of the times of and for the restoration of all things.
I am waiting for my physical restoration to Eternal Life soon, with an eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified body, like the body of Jesus Christ, our Savior. I am waiting for my adoption, the redemption of my body. And who else? Each one of you as well. I know it, and you also know that I’m waiting for the same thing.
And the Third Pull is connected to that restoration, it is connected to the Tent Vision. And if that is connected to that restoration, then we must work, towards what? Towards what has to do with the restoration of all things. That is why at this end time, somewhere in the continent of the Americas, that Tent Vision will be fulfilled, that giant Tent will emerge, for a giant Program that God has.
Speaking of what will be happening, he also says that limbs that some people are missing will be created.[25] He also showed, in five events that were fulfilled in his ministry, what will happen; in other words, each one of those events represents a part of the Program that will be carried out.
The types and figures speak clearly of what is going to happen.
- For example, the healing of Reverend William Branham’s wife, by the creative Word being spoken at a distance, that speaks to us of divine healing at a distance.[26]
Therefore, you don’t have to worry if you are not with your congregations in that place. There are means of communication, such as the internet or satellite, through which you will be seeing more closely what will be happening in the fulfillment of that Tent Vision. And many will also be receiving benefits, like those who will be present there.
Also, because the wife of Reverend William Branham represents the Church, notice, that speaks to us about healing for the Church, and also for all the people who need it.
- The salvation of the two sons of a sister named Hattie Wright, speaks to us of salvation for the family members of the believers in Christ.[27] That is why in the Tent Vision an altar call was seen, and people crying with their hands lifted up.[28]
- Also, speaking to the storm, that tells us about the power of God manifested over nature.[29]
- He also told us about the resurrection of a little fish.[30]
Christianity is represented in fish; that is why Christ said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”[31] That corresponds to the Age of Pisces, the Christian era.
Also, notice, that little fish that was resurrected half an hour later, speaks to us of the elect of the end time who would die physically and will be resurrected in that time of the Third Pull, and also the dead in Christ of other ages; which was also represented in the resurrection of Lazarus, with that Great Voice that called Lazarus out of the sepulcher;[32] the same Voice that calls the Church to come up, the same Voice that called John to come up.[33]
- Then also the squirrels, speaking to creation things that didn’t exist; and then he ate them.[34]
God put the creative Word in the mouth of Moses to say that manna would come from Heaven and also that birds would come;[35] and Jesus also spoke the creative Word, and multiplied the loaves and fishes.[36]
Therefore, there will be power in the creative Word that God will place in the mouth of that instrument that He has for that stage of the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
And there, by the creative Word, many things that don’t exist will come into existence; like what I told you about limbs that some people have lost, which will be created.
That same power is also shown in Revelation 11; because on page 136 of the book of Quotations, it says that the great miracles will be with Moses and Elijah.[37]
And the great miracles correspond to the Third Pull for the fulfillment of the Tent Vision. Those ministries will be there: of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus Christ, operated by the Holy Spirit.
Some will say: “It is the prophet Elijah.” Others will say: “It is the prophet Moses.” Others will say: “It is the prophet Jesus Christ.” But it will be Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit working through a prophet of the Last Day. But that prophet won’t literally be Elijah, he won’t literally be Moses, and he won’t literally be Jesus Christ; but the Holy Spirit will be in him. He comes with the Seal of the living God, with the Holy Spirit, operating the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, Moses for the second time, and Jesus Christ for the second time.
It will be Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, in His last manifestation: through a prophet of the Last Day.
But he won’t call himself Elijah, because he won’t literally be the prophet Elijah; he won’t literally be the prophet Moses; and he won’t literally be Jesus Christ; but those three ministries will be in him, being operated by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the glory will be for whom? For God, for Jesus Christ. All of this will take place in the times of the restoration of all things.
It has been a great privilege for me to be with you, testifying to you about: “THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.”
Tomorrow we will be at the morning service, to receive everything God has for us.
And we will continue serving God all the days of our life, and working on what will contribute to the fulfillment of the entire Divine Program relevant to this end time.
We will have the privilege of seeing the fulfillment of all the things that were promised for this end time.
We will be working so that God makes a reality what He has promised for this end time, for the time of the restoration of all things. We will be working for the restoration of all things, on the part that pertains to us; God will do the part that pertains to Him through Jesus Christ; and the part that pertains to us, Christ will do it through us; because He will work in us both to will it and to do it.[38]
By Him working through us, He will make a reality what has been promised for the Third Pull, for that stage that will bring restoration, that will bring blessings to the Church of Jesus Christ and to the Hebrew people; it will bring the restoration to mankind; it will bring the restoration of God’s Kingdom to Earth, and therefore, to all mankind; where mankind will obtain everlasting peace, love, prosperity, joy, happiness, and will also obtain fellowship in Love Divine among individuals and peoples.
May the blessings of the Eternal God, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, be upon all of you. Amen.
I’ll leave Reverend Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you again to continue.
God bless you and keep you. And onward, Miguel.
I think you have clearly seen the reason for a great tent. It was said, it was spoken; it has to appear somewhere, among people who believe it wholeheartedly, and who work to make it a reality; people who conquer promises through faith.
Why do we work so that there is a great tent or a cathedral? Because we believe that what was said is true, it’s the truth.
May God bless you and keep you.
Now, I wonder: “Why is it that the followers of the one through whom God said that there will be a great tent, don’t do it? [Bro. Miguel: They don’t believe it.] We’ll let Miguel answer why.
I am working in favor of there being a great tent, or cathedral, because it was said so, and I believe it with all my heart.
What is being done is an expression of the faith that is here. And where else? There in the heart of each one of you. And whoever has that faith: well, let’s get to work! Whoever doesn’t have it, well, he won’t be interested in doing anything. But whoever has that faith, that revelation, and believes it with all his heart, will say: “Me and my congregation want to have a part in that work.”
We shouldn’t force people. Make known to them the Divine Program, and each one will say: “I want to have a part in that work; because it’s a work according to what was promised, according to the Divine promise.”
So, onward, everyone who has that same kind of faith, that same kind of revelation, so that it becomes a reality soon!
May God bless you, keep you, (you and your congregations), and use you greatly in His Work at this end time.
Let’s leave Missionary Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín here. We already had dessert.
Not long ago we were hearing a rabbi who said that the dessert was what?
[Bro. Miguel: He was saying, in the time of the Torah, right? When they weren’t allowed to read it, so they used the reading of the prophets, and they called it “the dessert,” the reading of the prophetic messages. They call it “Haftarah.”]
The Haftarah, which was the reading of the books of the prophets, was read in the synagogues during the time when the reading of the Torah was forbidden (by the governments or the government); but by reading the prophets: indirectly, or quite directly, they were reading the Torah; because what the prophets speak about is the Torah. [Bro. Miguel: And they were giving them the dessert, they were…] And they called that “dessert.”
Well, let’s leave our brother and friend here, Missionary Miguel Bermúdez Marín, who has worked and continues to work very hard in the Lord’s Work of this end time; and we trust that God will keep him among us until he is transformed.
You all, together with our friend and brother Miguel Bermúdez Marín, have worked very well, very united together; and my desire is that you continue working very closely with him in the Work of the Lord.
I will also be in many of the places where he is, to which he invites me to travel with him. Perhaps I can’t be in all of them; but in many of the places where he is, I will also be there, as I have always done, working in the Work of the Lord.
My desire is that soon the Tent Vision be completely fulfilled, because that is where we have all the blessings promised for the Third Pull; but in the meantime, we continue working in the right direction. We are in the right direction.
May God bless you and keep you, and use you greatly in His Work at this end time. And continue having an evening filled with the blessings of Jesus Christ.
And pray a lot for tomorrow’s service, in which we expect great blessings.
But I’m very glad I arrived early; and even though I’m among those who came from the greatest distance, we were one of the first to arrive, perhaps before those who are nearby. Those who are far away nearly always arrive before those who are nearby. Well, that is… there is a Scripture that says that (right?): “The last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”[39]
Well, may God bless you and keep you all.
