The Rod that will do the signs

Good evening, kind friends and brethren present and listeners. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share a few moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time, which has been reflected in the biblical events of the past and also prophesied by the holy prophets of God of the Old Testament and also of the New Testament.

It is very important to know the time in which we are living, and to know the promises that God has made for our time, which, as I told you, were already represented in the great biblical events of the past and were also prophesied by the prophets, by Jesus and by the apostles, and by the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church, and by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ who revealed the book of Revelation to the apostle John.

Now, our topic for this evening is: “THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS,” that is, the great signs of God of the Last Day.

I want to read in the book of Exodus, chapter 4 [verse 1] and on, where it says as follows:

“And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee (this is Moses talking to God, when God sent him to deliver the Hebrew people in Egypt).

And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said (Moses responded), A rod.”

It was the shepherd’s rod, because shepherds always walked with their rod, with their staff; and now Moses had that rod, and now God says to him: “What is that in your hand?” And Moses said to Him: “A rod.”

“And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.

And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.

And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.”

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

We have read from Exodus, chapter 4, from verse 1 to 23, and we have seen here the mission given by God to Moses for the deliverance of the Hebrew people; and with the rod that he had in his hand, with that rod he would do the signs before the pharaoh.

“THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS.”

Here God said to him, see, He said to him: “And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.” Chapter 4, verse 17, of Exodus.

“THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS.”

Now, how is it possible that with a rod Moses could do those signs that he did there in Egypt? You see, he did a lot of signs before the pharaoh, and the pharaoh didn’t want to let the people go; but God told him: “He will not let them go, but with a strong hand.”

And with that same rod God used the prophet Moses, and with a strong hand from God, using Moses with that rod, He brought the plagues upon Egypt.

Moses stretched out his hand with that rod in his hand, and spoke the plagues that were to come, which God placed in his mouth (God placed that Word of those divine judgments that were to come upon the Earth; in other words, Moses was only God’s transmitter, of what God was telling him that He was going to bring upon the Earth, and Moses repeated that there in Egypt), and he told the king, he transmitted to the king, what God was saying that He was going to bring upon the Egyptians.

In other words, the pharaoh and the Egyptians had a privilege: to know the divine judgments that were going to come upon the Earth. And how did he know it? Through the prophet Moses. If they hadn’t had the prophet Moses there, those divine judgments would have come upon the Egyptians without anyone knowing why those divine judgments were coming upon the Egyptians.

But, you see, by having a prophet there on Earth, and being a dispensational prophet (since Amos, chapter 3, verse 7, says: “For the Lord God will do nothing, except He reveals His secrets to His servants His prophets”), by having a prophet on Earth, God is revealing the things that He will do there in Egypt, and He is revealing them to that prophet Moses; and the prophet Moses is making them known to the pharaoh and to all the Egyptians.

Therefore, they had the opportunity to humble themselves before God, and tell God and Moses: “Moses, pray to God: may those plagues not come upon us. We will let the Hebrew people go willingly.”

But look, God had said: “He will not let them go, but with a strong hand.” And when it comes to a strong hand, it is with divine judgment falling upon the people, upon the pharaoh and upon the Egyptians.

And now, with that shepherd’s rod, you see, Moses stretched it out with it in his hand, and spoke that Word of things that were to come, and things would happen.

And why did God send him with a rod to the pharaoh, to Egypt, to deliver the Hebrew people, and not send him with a cannon or a war tank or something like that? Because “it is not with armies, nor with might, but with My Spirit, saith the Lord,” thus says the prophet Zechariah, or God tells the prophet Zechariah in chapter 3 and chapter 4 [verse 6] of his book; because the Work of God is done neither with armies nor with might, but with the Spirit of God.

It is the Spirit of God, the Angel of the Covenant, who carries out His Work; and He always uses a man. And look, that man had (Moses) a shepherd’s rod in his hand.

And now, how is it possible that a shepherd’s rod in Moses’ hand, and Moses stretching out his hand with that rod, all those things came? Because that rod represents the Word of God; and the Word of God is mightier than any two-edged sword¹; therefore, that Word of God is mightier than the swords and spears of the Egyptians, and all the army of Egypt.

And that Word of God, the creative Word of God, was represented in that rod that Moses had; and because it was type and figure of the creative Word of God —for which nothing is impossible—, Moses had to use that rod; because the things that happened in the Old Testament are type and figure of the things that would happen in the New Testament.

It is like, also, when the Hebrew people had to leave in the exodus, God commanded them: to sacrifice a lamb the day before, and to apply its blood on the lintel of their doors and on the doorposts, and to go inside the house and have that lamb roasted inside the house, and to eat that lamb during that whole night of the Passover; because during the morning, or in the morning, they would go free, they would go free to the promised land.²

Now, we can see that by means of that passover lamb that they were eating inside, and that blood applied on the lintel of their doors and on their doorposts, the firstborn that were inside those houses were delivered. The firstborn of the Hebrew families didn’t die when death came upon the firstborn, which was the last plague, the last divine judgment that came upon the Egyptians.³

And now, you see, the Egyptians didn’t know this secret, of how to avoid the death of the firstborn, not even the pharaoh knew it; therefore, the divine judgment came that night upon the firstborn of all the Egyptians, including the firstborn of the pharaoh, the son of the pharaoh.

You see, God said He would kill his son, the pharaoh’s son⁴; and He fulfilled it that night when death came upon the firstborn, that was the night of the Passover. But the firstborn of the Hebrews were safe, because they had the passover lamb sacrificed, and they were eating that passover lamb roasted, and they had the blood of that lamb applied on their doors, on the doorposts and on the lintel of their doors.

And how can it be possible that a lamb and its blood applied on the lintel can deliver people from death, the firstborn? Because that passover lamb represents our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who would die on Calvary’s Cross and take away the sin of the world,⁵ and thus prevent the firstborn of God written in Heaven from dying: He would give them eternal life.

In other words, the death of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, and His Blood applied on the door of our heart, on the lintel and doorposts of our soul, of our heart, and on the Door of the Church of Jesus Christ, which is Christ, would deliver all the firstborn of God from the second death, that is, He would deliver the firstborn of God from death, that is, from being cast into the lake of fire.

Now, we can see that death (from Christ until now) has been passing through the Earth and has been hurting all the firstborn; but those who are inside the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, it can’t touch them, spiritual death can’t touch them; and therefore, when the unbelievers have to be cast into the lake of fire, the firstborn of God will not be cast into the lake of fire, they will continue to live for all eternity.

Christ said in John, chapter 5, verse 24:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”

He has passed from death to life, because when the human being is born on this Earth, he is born into a race that is dead, he is without eternal life; therefore, he is dead. And that is why the person is born on Earth, lives for a while and then dies.

But now Christ has given us eternal life; and although our physical body dies, we continue to live in the theophanic body of the sixth dimension; which we have received when we have received Christ as our Savior, and we have washed our sins in the Blood of Christ, and we have received His Holy Spirit; and thus we have been born again and we have obtained a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, we were born in a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and we have been placed in heavenly places in Christ Jesus,⁶ in that sixth dimension.

And now, for the Last Day, He has made a promise for all believers in Him, and it is that He will give us eternal physical life also, He will give us an eternal and glorified body, equal to the glorified body of Jesus Christ; and we will thus be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

In John, chapter 6, verse 39 to 40, Jesus Christ says:

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

When? In the Last Day is that He will carry out the resurrection of all believers in Him who are asleep, that is, who have died physically but have continued living in Paradise in a theophanic body; but they will return to Earth in the Last Day, they will be resurrected in an eternal body, and us who are alive will be transformed.

Saint Paul also spoke of that in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13 to 17, and First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 49 to 55; and he speaks of the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet or Trumpet of God, and then comes the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.

It will be at the Last Trumpet; because “the Trumpet will be sounded and the dead in Christ will rise (that is, they will resurrect in eternal bodies), and we who are alive will be transformed”; and then we will all be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ: with a theophanic body of the sixth dimension and with a glorified and eternal physical body that He will give us on the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium. “For one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,” says Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90, verse 4, which is a psalm of the prophet Moses.

Now, we continue reading here: in John, chapter 6, verse 40, it says:

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him (this is a promise for those who believe in Him, in Jesus Christ), may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up (when?) at the last day.”

Now, we can see here the promise of the resurrection of the dead in Christ appointed for the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium.

If we add to the calendar the years of delay that it has, then we are already in the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium; and if we don’t add to the calendar the years of delay that it has, then there are only two and a half years left for the sixth millennium to end and the seventh millennium begin, and therefore, the Last Day before God to begin; because one day before God, for human beings is a thousand years; in other words, a day of a thousand years for human beings, is one day for God.

And now, see how for this end time there are great blessings for all the sons and daughters of God. We have the promise of the resurrection in eternal bodies for the dead in Christ, and we have the promise of a transformation for us who live; to thus obtain an eternal, glorified body, and an incorruptible and immortal body, like the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And that promise is for the Last Day.

It is for the Last Day that He has promised the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive. It is for the Last Day that He has promised the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, sounding and calling all of God’s elect, and gathering them at the end time. “And He shall send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet, and they shall gather together all His elect.” Matthew, chapter 24 and verse 31. That is the same Trumpet, that same Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet.

We also find that Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet in Revelation: in chapter 1 and verse 10 to 11, it says:

“I was in the Spirit (says John) on the Lord’s day (In which day? On the Lord’s Day, which is the seventh millennium, that is, the Last Day), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet (in other words, it is not a literal trumpet, it is a great voice like a trumpet. Now let’s see whose Voice it is).

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega…”

And who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Voice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ speaking with that Great Voice of Trumpet, with the Great Voice of Trumpet 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, calling and gathering all His elect in the Last Day.

Now, in Revelation, chapter 4, we also find that Voice of Trumpet. Let’s see now chapter 4, verse 1, of Revelation, it says:

“After this I looked (John says), and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet (here we have that voice of trumpet again) talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

Here we have the promise of the revelation of the things that must happen after those that have already happened during the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.

Now, He says: “Come up hither.” Where are we going up to? We have this diagram, which represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ from the time of Jesus and the apostles here, and then we have the first stage or age of the gentile Church, where Saint Paul was its messenger in Asia Minor.

Each age corresponds to a territory where it was fulfilled and God sent a messenger for each age; and in that territory were the elect of God of that age, which heard the Voice of Christ through the messenger that God sent, through whom Jesus Christ was manifested in Holy Spirit, calling and gathering His elect of each of those stages or ages, and thus fulfilling His promise of John, chapter 10, verse 14 to 16, where Jesus said:

“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 (in other words, they are not Hebrew): them also I must bring (that is, those are the sheep from among the gentiles), and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

And how are they to hear the Voice of Christ to be gathered, so that there may be one Flock and one Shepherd? From age to age, through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in every messenger He has sent: Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley and the Reverend William Branham, through them Christ has been manifested in Holy Spirit, calling and gathering His sheep from the seven stages of the gentile Church. Those seven stages correspond to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ. And they were fulfilled among the gentiles in Asia Minor, France, Hungary, Ireland and Scotland, Germany, England and North America.

And now, for the Last Day in which we live, God still has sheep to call and gather, which will be placed above, in the Age of the Cornerstone, that is why He says: “Come up hither.”

If we were living in the first age, He would say: “Come up hither.” To where? To this first age. What for? To hear the Voice of Christ through Saint Paul, making known to us the things that Christ wanted to be known at that time.

But now He tells us: “Come up hither,” because Christ in Holy Spirit, where is He in this end time? At the top, in the Age of the Cornerstone. “And I will show thee the things which shall be hereafter”; in other words, the things that will take place in this time, after those that have already happened in these seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.

And now, to make known to us all these things that must come to pass up here in the Age of the Cornerstone, where He calls us and gathers us and prepares us and teaches us all these things, He must have a messenger also.

And now let’s see through whom He will be making known all these things that must take place soon, in this end time. Let Jesus Christ say it, for He is the one who has promised to make known to us all these things if we go up where He is in this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone.

In Revelation, chapter 22 and verse 6, it says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

[POWER OUTAGE]

And notice, the God of the spirits of the prophets sends His Angel according to His promise in Revelation, chapter 22 and verse 6. What does He send him for? To make known all these things that must happen soon, in this end time, and thus reveal to His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, all these prophetic mysteries that have to be fulfilled in this end time. It is very important to know these mysteries of the Kingdom of God.

Now, we can see that for this end time, the things that must come to pass in the Last Day, Christ said that He would make them known, He would reveal them; but He has an order, which we need to understand.

Christ, our beloved Savior, in Revelation, chapter 4, gives the promise to everyone who goes up to where He is in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, He gives the promise to make known to him all things that must shortly be done. And because the Lord God will do nothing, without first revealing His secrets to His servants His prophets, He in the Last Day must have a prophet, a messenger, and send that messenger with all the revelation of all things that must come to pass, according to the biblical prophecies pertaining to the Last Day.

And now, He tells us who it is that He sends. In Revelation 22, verse 6, it says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Who has He sent? His Angel Messenger. What for? To show His servants the things which must happen soon. No one will be able to understand the things that must come to pass in the Last Day, except those who are listening to the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ making known all these things. And that Angel Messenger is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, preaching that Message anointed with the Holy Spirit. And in that Message comes all the revelation of all the things that must come to pass soon, in this end time. “For the Lord God will do nothing, except He first reveals His secrets to His servants His prophets.” Amos, chapter 3, verse 7.

And in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 15 to 19, the prophet Moses says:

“The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken…”

To whom does the prophet Moses say that the people of God are called to listen to? To the prophet which God sends them; because God makes known all things that are to happen through that prophet, and thus the people obtain the knowledge of the whole Divine Program.

And right here, in this chapter 18, verse 18 to 19, of Deuteronomy, it says:

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (that is, like Moses), and will put my words in his mouth…”

Where does God place His words? In the mouth of the prophet He sends; just as God said to the prophet Moses: “I will put My Word in your mouth, and you shall speak what I tell you; I will tell you what you shall speak.”

“…and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”

What will that prophet sent by God speak, where God places His Word, where the Word of God is placed in the mouth of that prophet? That prophet sent by God will speak whatever God sends him to speak to the people.

And there will be people who will say that they are not interested in listening to that prophet. But that is how it has always been: there is a group of people who don’t listen to the Voice of God through the prophet that God sends.

But there is also another group of people who say: “I want to hear the Voice of God,” and they know that God speaks through His prophets; and when they say they want to hear the Voice of God, they are waiting for God to send them a prophet where He will place His Word. He will place His Word in the mouth of that prophet, and that prophet will speak whatever God commands him to speak for the people; and the people will listen to him and will thank God for sending them that prophet and sending them His Word in the mouth of that prophet.

And thus the people obtain the knowledge of the things that God desires to reveal to the people for that age or for that dispensation; and thus, those who listen to the voice of that prophet are blessed; because “he who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, receives a prophet’s reward,”⁷ in other words, he receives all the benefits and blessings for which God sends that prophet.

That prophet comes with the Word of God in his mouth; and that Word of God in the mouth of that prophet was represented in the rod of Moses. That rod of Moses represents the Word of God.

And now, the Word of God comes in the mouth of a prophet; and there we can see: “THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS.” And through that spoken creative Word all those signs that are promised for that age or for that dispensation come to pass.

And now [Deuteronomy 18:19]:

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”

And in the book of Acts, chapter 3, verses 22 to 23, the apostle Saint Peter, quoting this promise given by God through the prophet Moses, says: “But whosoever will not hear my words which he shall speak in My Name, him will I cut off from the people.” He will lose the right to belong to the people of God, and consequently, he will lose the right to eternal life, because he didn’t hear the Word of God, which is the Word of eternal life.

“He that heareth my Word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life; and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.” John, chapter 5, verse 24.

Now we can see where that creative Word of God comes from: It always comes in the mouth of a prophet, which was represented in the rod of Moses, also called the rod of God, with which Moses carried out all those signs and wonders.

See, with that rod he did the signs and wonders before the pharaoh: he threw it to the ground and it became a serpent; and then the imitators there, which the pharaoh had, those magicians, threw their rods too and they became serpents; but the rod of Moses ate them up, it swallowed them up.

Because the creative Word of God absorbs every word that is not of God, it absorbs every power contrary to the power of God.

And now, the power of God, through His creative Word, you see, absorbs the power of the enemy, and the creative Word of God obtains the victory.

And now, then Moses took the serpent, his rod turned into a serpent, grabbed it by the tail and it became a rod again.

And now, where are the rods turned into serpents, of the others who had also turned their rods into serpents, into snakes? They didn’t find them. They could say to Moses: “Give me back my rod.” Moses’ rod had already swallowed the rods of the enemies, the rods, the rods of the imitators.

The creative Word of God, which is the Rod of God, will overcome every power and word of the enemy, will absorb every contrary power; and thus, Christ will obtain the Victory in Divine Love, with the Rod of God, the creative Word of God.

Now, we can see that that rod of God, since it represents the creative Word of God, Moses with that rod could do all those signs; and he carried the rod of God, which represented the creative Word of God.

And now, the magicians were left without a rod and had to look for other rods, because the rod of Moses, turned into a snake or a serpent, had already swallowed them up.

And now, we find that Moses also turned the waters into blood, and also brought all the other plagues by stretching out his hand with that rod in his hand. And that rod in Moses’ hand is the Word of God in his hand, in the right hand of God; the right hand of God with the Rod of God, with the Word of God.

Now, see how in the right hand of God is His power, in His right hand is His power and authority. That is why, when Christ died and resurrected, He sat at the right hand of God, at the right hand of the power of God, and that is why He could say: “All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth.”⁸

And now, we find, through the prophetic promises pertaining to the Last Day, that Christ makes a very great promise in the book of Revelation, chapter 2, verse 26 to 27, where He says:

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father…”

That authority that Christ received from the Father when He sat at the right hand of God and was given all power in Heaven and on Earth, He now confers it to the Overcomer in the end time. That is why it also says:⁹

“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.”

And the Overcomer will sit with Christ on His Throne, in other words, the Throne of David in the midst of the Hebrew people there in Jerusalem, and the power of Christ will be conferred upon him to thus rule.

That is the faithful and wise servant of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 42 to 47, to whom it says: “Who is the faithful and wise servant, whom when his Lord cometh, he shall find doing so?,” in other words, giving the spiritual food on time to the children of God in the House of God; it says:

“Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.”

In other words, He will put him over all His goods as the administrator or ruler, because He will seat him with Him on His Throne.

The Throne of Christ is the Throne of David, of which the Archangel Gabriel says in chapter 1 of Luke, to the virgin Mary, as follows: Chapter 1, verse 30 and on (30 to 33), it says:

“And the angel (Gabriel) said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”

Here we can see that God will give him the Throne of David his father. In other words, the heir to the Throne of David is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and it is on that Throne that He will seat the Overcomer on the Last Day.

And who will be the Overcomer in the Last Day? The messenger who will be in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, making known all these things that must shortly be done, and feeding all the sons and daughters of God in the Last Day with the Word of God, with the hidden Manna, which is the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ.

With that Message is that the children of God are fed in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, where Christ in Holy Spirit would be in this Last Day and would be manifesting Himself through His Angel Messenger, calling and gathering all His elect in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and making known to them through His Angel Messenger all these things that must come to pass soon, in this end time.

Now see, this Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ receives the Rod of God, represented in the rod of Moses, which represents the creative Word of God.

And now, this Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ receives from Christ that Rod of God, the creative Word of God; and that creative Word of God, being the Rod of God, is the Rod that will carry out the signs in the Last Day.

All the signs that have to be done and all the Work that has to be done in the Last Day, Christ will do it through His Angel Messenger with the Rod of God, of the creative Word of God, which was represented in the rod of God that Moses had in his hand.

Now, that is the rod of iron as well, which Christ says He will give to the Overcomer: He will give him authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will have that rod of iron, that rod with which Christ will do —through His Angel Messenger— the signs that are promised for the Last Day.

That is why we also find in Revelation, in chapter 19 and verses 11 to 16, which says:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”

The Word; which is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, God Himself in His theophanic body, which two thousand years ago became flesh and dwelt among human beings, as John says, chapter 1, verse 2: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” and we knew Him by the name of Jesus. He was the Word made flesh, He was the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, made man, clothed with human flesh, clothed with man, visiting the human race in the midst of the Hebrew people; and His name was called Jesus. It was Jesus of Nazareth the Word made flesh.

And for the Last Day, according to Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, we have the promise of the Coming of the Word for the Last Day, in human flesh again.

“His eyes were as a flame of fire…”

You see, these are the symbols or attributes that will be manifested.

“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword (that is the creative Word, that is the Rod of God), that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron…”

Now see, the rod of Moses, with which he did the signs and brought the plagues upon the pharaoh and upon the Egyptian territory, is now the Word coming out of the mouth of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, that two-edged Sword, being the creative Word of God coming out of His mouth; and the mouth of God has always been the prophets of God.

“…and he shall rule them with a rod of iron…”

Who? The white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is Christ at His Coming.

“…and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”

Because He is coming as King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the Coming of the Son of Man and Son of David, the King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work in the Last Day.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, quoting this passage of Revelation, chapter 19, told us how the fulfillment of this promise of Revelation 19 would be; and in the book of The Seals in Spanish, page 256, he said:¹⁰

“¹⁹⁶ But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”

And if we find that man, who is the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, we will be finding the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel Messenger; and from His mouth, from His Angel Messenger…, because the mouth of God, the mouth of Christ, are His prophets; and now, from His mouth, from His prophet, from His Angel Messenger, that two-edged Sword will come forth, that Rod of God, the creative Word of God being spoken and revealing all these things that must come to pass soon, in this end time.

It is through this manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Word through His Angel Messenger, that all these things that must shortly be done, in this end time, are made known.

That is why our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, in Revelation, chapter 22 and verse 16, again gives testimony of His Angel Messenger; and it says:

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

Now see who Jesus Christ sends in the Last Day to testify of these things in the churches: His Angel Messenger. And in His Angel Messenger comes Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, the Word incarnate, veiled and revealed through human flesh, through His Angel Messenger, the prophet messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone; and through him are made known all these things that must happen soon, in this end time.

And all that divine revelation comes through the rod that will do the signs, which is the creative Word of God; and through that creative Word of God comes all the revelation of all the things that must happen soon.

It is through the creative Word of God that all things pertaining to the Last Day are done, according to the biblical prophecies pertaining to this time in which we are living.

We have seen what is THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS, the signs relevant to this end time, for the elect of God to be called and gathered in this end time, and to be prepared to be transformed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.

It has been a great privilege for me to be with you tonight, giving you testimony of: “THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS,” represented in the rod of Moses, which represents the creative Word of God; that is why Moses was able to do all those signs at that time with that rod.

You see, he brought the plagues upon the Egyptian empire, then he opened the Red Sea with that rod,¹¹ speaking with that rod extended; then he also brought water from the rock on two occasions, with that rod¹²; and then, with that same rod, lifted up to heaven, he obtained the victory over Amalek.¹³

And so on and so forth, we find that with that rod stretched up to heaven in his hand, in his right hand, and speaking that creative Word, you see, he always obtained the victory; because the Rod of God, which is the creative Word of God, will always give the victory both to the prophet messenger of the relevant age and to the people who listen to the Voice of God, the Word of God.

And the people of God, the sons and daughters of God, go from glory to glory, from age to age and from victory to victory; because the Rod of God extended in the hand of the messenger of each age brings the victory of God.

And for this end time the Rod of God will be extended in the hand of the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, that creative Word of God being spoken; and will produce the Great Victory in Divine Love promised for this end time.

And thus Christ and His Angel Messenger and His Church, in this end time, will obtain the Great Victory in Divine Love; and thus we will also obtain all the divine revelation of the entire Program of God pertaining to this end time; and thus we will receive the faith to be transformed and caught up to Heaven, and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven; because the Rod that will do the signs in this end time would be extended in the hand of Christ through His Angel Messenger; and that is the creative Word of God in the messenger and in his mouth speaking that Final Message, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

That Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom in the mouth of His Angel Messenger in the Last Day is the Rod of God extended, that Rod that will do the signs relevant to this end time.

It has been a great privilege for me to be with you, kind friends and brethren present, and listeners, giving testimony of: “THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS” for this end time, represented in the rod of Moses who did the signs and wonders at that time.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, our Savior, be upon you all and upon me also; and may the number of God’s elect soon be completed, may those who remain be called and gathered; and may we all soon be transformed and the dead in Christ be resurrected, and all be taken to our heavenly Father’s House in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

I leave again with us Reverend Mauro to give you telephone numbers and addresses, to which you may call or write to obtain lectures similar to this one, printed in booklets, or recorded on cassettes or videos, in order to obtain more knowledge of all these mysteries of the Kingdom of God, which for this end time would be being fulfilled for the blessing of all the sons and daughters of God who live in this end time.

Are we still on the radio? As we are still on the radio: Take pencil and paper to write down the telephone numbers and addresses that Reverend Mauro will be giving to you, kind friends listening on the radio.

May God bless you, and may you all have a good night; and with us Reverend Mauro to give you telephones and addresses.

“THE ROD THAT WILL DO THE SIGNS.”
