Good afternoon, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior. It is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program pertaining to this end time.
I appreciate and thank you very much for the invitation you made me to be with you on this occasion, in this ministers’ activity; and also tomorrow, God willing, tomorrow, Sunday morning, with all the public who will be gathered in the activity tomorrow, Sunday.
Since these are perilous times—as the apostle Paul says1—they are times when we must be holding on tight to the Lord’s hand. Like Jacob was when he was at a dangerous time, knowing that he had to meet his brother, who had said he was going to kill him when their father died;2 and now he is going to meet with him, although their father had not died yet, but they are going to meet in a place very far away from their father’s house, and Jacob was very worried.3
Therefore, he held on tight to God and he was praying, for he was asking the Angel that he wouldn’t let Him go unless He blessed him; the Angel wanted to leave and the Angel couldn’t leave until Jacob received the blessing, from the Word that the Angel spoke to him on that occasion, by changing his name.4
We are in dangerous times in this stage that we live in. Jacob, Israel, is about to meet with Esau or Edom; and it is a dangerous time for Israel, and it is also a dangerous time for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, let’s be holding on tight to Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, praying at all times with our congregations, praying to God, because we are in a very, very dangerous time.
It was said that the enemy wouldn’t leave us, he wouldn’t leave the Church alone at the end time; much less when it was very close to the Third Pull, which will be fulfilled as it was promised.
It was said that the Third Pull will bring the faith for the rapture. It was said that the Third Pull is the Sword in the hand, the Word. It was said that the Third Pull will be fulfilled in a Great Tent Cathedral. It was said that in the Third Pull, the faith will be given to the Church to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Therefore, there is a direct connection between faith for the rapture and the Third Pull—the creative Word being spoken—and the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
Therefore, we have to see that relationship and connection that exists, so that we are praying for the Tent Vision to become a reality, for the creative Word being spoken to become a reality, for the faith for each of the sons and daughters of God to be transformed to become a reality.
Therefore, it is important that the Sword, which is the Word, be manifested and welcome in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior.
That is what Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, will be bringing to His Church at the Last Day: the Sword, the Word, which is a discerner of the intents of the soul, of the heart of the human being.
And now, reading in chapter 54, verse 15 and on, of Isaiah, it says:
“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”
“THE SECURITY OF GOD’S ANOINTED.”
God’s Anointed with the Spirit of God, as a people, we find has been the Hebrew people; we also find it as King David, who was anointed with the Spirit of God, and so on, we find different characters anointed with the Spirit of God.
Just as the high priest was also anointed. Moses was also anointed with the Spirit of God, and we also find that King Cyrus is called by God: “His Anointed.”5
Likewise, each prophet was anointed with the Spirit of God, Jesus was anointed with the Spirit of God.
And notice, all these people… the apostles as well, the messengers of each age as well; and also in our time the people and the messenger that God has for His Church will be anointed with the Spirit of God.
Now, throughout Biblical history we find that all those who have been anointed with the Spirit of God have been people who have been persecuted by other people.
For example, we have David. David was anointed with the Spirit of God and he was anointed as king by the prophet Samuel;6 then he was taken back to the fold of the sheep that he shepherded; and there, already anointed with the Spirit of God—anointed by God with the anointing to be king—God trained him: he fought against the bear, he overcame it, he fought against the lion, he overcame it too; and likewise, different beasts that he fought with to deliver the sheep;7 and later with Goliath: he was another animal, a bit bigger, but he was also a beast.8
David, being anointed, was protected by the Spirit of God; and it was the Spirit of God in David that was working. God was in David.
Now notice, he was anointed young, and he was fighting until he reached the age of 30, when he was anointed as king – or proclaimed King of Judah and Benjamin;9 he spent seven years reigning over Judah and Benjamin. And then the princes, the elders of the ten tribes of the North, gathered and spoke with him so that he would reign over them too, because they recognized the anointing that was in him as king, they recognized that Samuel had anointed him to be king; and he had already started reigning over two tribes, and the other ten tribes also wanted to join that kingdom.10
Now notice, some years of hard battles; even with his father-in-law: his father-in-law was also persecuting him to kill him;11 but in the end the father-in-law died and then David reigned.
That is how it has always been. Moses had great struggles too; even the very people he had been sent to, complained against Moses. When he went to them, then his problems increased, and then even Moses cried out to God about that. And they were no longer given straw to make bricks, instead they had to go themselves, and the situation became complicated for the Hebrew people.12
But notice, he was God’s Anointed One, and God was with him; and the exodus was to happen with Him, and without Him there would be no exodus.
He proves that when… At 40 years old he had to leave because he had gotten into a problem for defending a… a brother, that is, a – a member of the Hebrew family, a Hebrew, for defending him from an Egyptian; he killed the Egyptian; and then another Hebrew made it known, what Moses had done, and then Pharaoh wanted to imprison Moses to kill him.13
So, we can see that Moses had to flee, and he spent 40 years away from the people. But since he was God’s Anointed One for that ministry, he was God’s chosen one for that ministry, later he was anointed there on Sinai, and sent to go back to the people for their deliverance.14
When the people don’t receive God’s Anointed One, well, then they have to wait a few more years, until he gets older, to receive him; that’s if they don’t want him when he is young, or when he is younger, for some reason. Later, he will always be God’s Anointed One for that work; they will receive him later on, but he will be the same one chosen by God; (and now…); above all, the Angel of the Covenant is the Messenger, using different veils of flesh.
And now, God is with His Anointed One, God is on his side; and anyone who rises against him: God is not with those people who rise against that Anointed One of God; rather He is against those people.
He says: “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me.” This is applied to any person anointed or to any people anointed by God, each prophet-messenger of God as well as the Hebrew people, and as well as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Anointed with the Spirit of God; because the Spirit of God came down on the Day of Pentecost, and the Church was born then;15 and He has been in the midst of His Church throughout these two thousand years, and He is still in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember that Christ said: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world;”16 and He is still among His Church. He has been using different veils of flesh, different messengers: the apostles, the messengers of each age; and at the Last Day He will also have another instrument.
And He is in the midst of His Church, and therefore His Church is the spiritual people anointed with the Spirit of God; because She has had the Spirit of God in Her midst during these two thousand years, until He transforms Her and takes Her with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And therefore, She needs to receive the faith to be transformed and raptured, which pertains to the Third Pull. And the Third Pull, which is the Word, the Sword in the hand… Notice, Rev. William Branham says, who had the Sword in his hand, God had placed it in there; he says on pages 557 to 558 of the book of The Seals, while praying he says:
“[371] And I pray that they’ll be healed immediately.
372 And I pray that You’ll keep the power of Satan away from them, to discourage them, or to try to make them make cults. Or, just keep all the powers of the enemy away, Lord. Sanctify us to Thy Word. Grant it, Lord.
373 Then, Lord, I pray that You’ll help me. I—I—I’m beginning to fade away, Lord. I know my days can’t be too many more. And I pray that You’ll help me, to let me be true, Lord, and honest and sincere, that I might be able to bear the Message as far as it’s ordained for me to bear. And when it comes to the time that I must lay down, and I get down to the River, and the waves begin to come in, O God, may I be able to hand this old Sword over to somebody else that’ll be honest with It, Lord, and will pack the Truth. Grant it, Lord. And, until then, help me to be strong and healthy, and courageous.
374 Help my church. Bless us together, Lord.”
Now, the Sword that was in the hand, the Word, the Message of God for the end time… The Message has been passing from one messenger to another messenger: It passed from Saint Paul to another messenger: to Irenaeus, from Irenaeus to Martin, from Martin to Columba, from Columba to Luther, from Luther to Wesley, from Wesley to Rev. William Branham; the Sword passing from one to another, the Message.
And at the Last Day, It will be somewhere, because God passes It—the Word—from one messenger to another messenger, and the Holy Spirit passes from one messenger to another messenger. And at this end time, in which we have the promise that we will receive the faith to be transformed and raptured (and that faith comes by the creative Word, the Sword, the Third Pull)…
And all of that is going to reach its climax in the fulfillment of the Vision of a Great Tent Cathedral; which all the believers in Christ, ministers and congregations, will be working on at the Last Day. I will also be supporting the project of The Great Tent Cathedral where it will be taking place.
Therefore, the project of the Great Tent Cathedral is not a human project; it is a Divine project. It was shown to Rev. William Branham, and therefore he saw it already finished, he saw it in action, he saw—that project—in operation, he saw it bringing forth the results; and therefore, at some point, somewhere, a Great Tent Cathedral will be built that will fulfill that prophecy, or in which God will fulfill that prophecy.
If it was seen, if it was shown beforehand, then it will be carried out in God’s Program. And it has to be carried out in the midst of the people pertaining to the Last Day, in the midst of the people in which the last pull will be fulfilled, the people where the group of God’s elect who are going to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be; that is where they will receive the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
“And what we’ve seen partially, will be seen manifested in all its fullness,” Rev. William Branham says.17
Therefore, we are at a very glorious time, but the enemy of God won’t let – he will fight so that the Tent Vision doesn’t become a reality.
Therefore, anyone you see fighting against the Tent Vision, against what was promised: will be fighting against the Divine Program, he will be fighting against the faith to be transformed and raptured, he will be fighting against the catching away of the Church, against that promise, he will be fighting against the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
He will be like the people that went against Moses and the Hebrew people, and fought against Moses. And Moses fought against those people, with his hands lifted up, with the rod of God in his hand; and he obtained the victory.18
Which people were that? Amalek. And God said that there would be a war with Amalek for all generations; and He will destroy Amalek from the face of the Earth. Why? Because he waged war, he fought against the Throne of God.19
And there was no throne in sight; and let alone – the tabernacle hadn’t been made yet, right? But a human throne was there: Moses. God was enthroned in Moses. Remember that a human being is a temple.
God was veiled in human flesh in the prophet Moses, the Pillar of Fire was in Moses; therefore, God’s human Temple in those moments was the prophet Moses: God was in him. And as a people, the human Temple of God as a people was the Hebrew people; and the most important place in that Temple was Moses. That was the representation, the Hebrew people and Moses, was the representation of what is in Heaven.
Remember that in the tabernacle we then find that everything that is in Heaven is represented there; in other words, human beings are represented there, the heavenly people who would then come to Earth and form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are represented.
Now, we can see that they were there: Amalek was fighting against, he rose against the Throne of God. And to rise against the Throne of God… even though people didn’t see any Throne of God, but God was there in Moses, and He was in the midst of the Hebrew people.
Therefore, to rise against Moses and against the Hebrew people was to rise against the Throne of God, because the representation of the Throne of God was there; the representation on Earth, of the Throne of God, was in Moses and the Hebrew people.
That is how it has been from age to age: to rise against the Divine Program, the people of an age and the messenger of an age, is to rise against the Throne of God. That is how it also is for our time.
Moses, with his arms lifted up, we find him doing a work there, which was the most important one: he was the connection there with another dimension: the spiritual dimension, the dimension of the angels.
And now, with Christ lifted up, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will obtain the victory at this time too. Christ, the Word.
Remember, that rod represents the Word of God, just as the sword represents the Word; and it was in Moses, in the hand of Moses.
That is why, notice, God told Moses that He would put His Word in the mouth of Moses, but Moses would put It in the mouth of Aaron; and Moses would be God to Aaron; and he also put the rod in Aaron’s hand sometimes. It is because God allowed that at the request of Moses: a helper for Moses.20
Now, we can see that there is a Divine Program, which is being carried out in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ under a New Covenant. Under the New Covenant is where all the promises relevant to the Dispensation of Grace and the Dispensation of the Kingdom are found. Therefore, the promises that weren’t fulfilled under the Dispensation of the Law are fulfilled under the Dispensation of Grace; and the remaining ones will be fulfilled under the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Therefore, let’s be very united, and our congregations very united, your congregations very united; and praying at this time so that God always gives us the victory.
It is important to be very united and to understand that these are dangerous days. Rev. William Branham says that there will be a squeeze; and something is going to cause a squeeze to come against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ before every believer in Christ is transformed and raptured; therefore, that means that there will be problems.
But that is the way it has always been! The Hebrew people had many problems but they reached the promised land. Moses had many problems but he reached the promised land.
Therefore, problems are not a reason for the people to get discouraged, it is not a reason for the ministers to get discouraged; rather it is a reason to be holding on tighter to God, praying to God day and night.
Any person who rose up against Moses was rising up against the Divine Program, against the Divine Project, to enter the promised land. He wasn’t interested in entering the promised land, and he wasn’t going to enter, and he didn’t want others to enter.
And anyone who rises up against the Divine Program and against the Tent Vision, which has been promised, and in which there will be the fulfillment of and the believers will be given the faith to be transformed and raptured: well, he will be against the transformation, against the rapture, against the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and he will be against the Throne of God.
Therefore, we are not even interested in hearing what they have to say! Because whatever they have to say is to discourage the people, the ministers, so that they can’t be transformed and raptured and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Those people are not going to enter either, and they don’t want others to enter either.
Anyone who rises up against the Divine Program: is not interested in entering the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, he is not interested in going to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, he is not even interested in receiving the faith for the rapture; because the faith for the rapture is in and is the Third Pull, and it will be fulfilled in a Great Tent Cathedral.
That is where the full manifestation of God that will shake the whole world will be, is going to be, that is where the full manifestation of God will be.
All that is promised and has to be fulfilled; and there must be a people and a group of ministers who catch that Divine revelation contained there, and work for the Tent Vision to become a reality.
The Plagues are going to be preached, the Vials, the Thunders, the Vials, the Trumpets; all that is going to be opened, made known. In other words, there is a lot of Divine revelation to be made known, to be spoken.
And here we are already seeing judgments upon the Earth: plagues, we are seeing earthquakes, tsunamis, and things are getting worse every day; nations that are struck by earthquakes and then on top of that a tsunami, they go bankrupt; economically, those nations, before they know it, nearly go bankrupt: it’s very hard for them to recover.
Now, we can see what has been happening in Japan, a (is it a first-world country, Miguel?) a first-world country, one of those countries that are very advanced. But notice, being advanced doesn’t mean that they are immune to earthquakes and tsunamis; the more advanced they are, the greater the economic ruin, because the losses are greater.
And trade, who wants to receive merchandise, goods, do business with a place, a territory that is full of radioactivity? No one, because the radioactivity will come into the other country. So, their business sector goes bankrupt; and so on, in every case.
Who wants tourists from such a place? No country does, because they might contaminate their cou-… the other country; so, they are left in a very difficult situation. And who would go as a tourist to such a country, to such a place? Hardly anyone wants to go, because they don’t know whether or not they will make it out; or if they come out, they don’t know what problems they will come out with.
So, remember, the nations are in a very, very difficult stage, all the nations; because we have reached the fourth generation before God, and it is the generation in which God will call all the nations to judgment. And even if they don’t understand it, the forces of nature will act.
Remember that the Scripture says that when the Hebrew people entered, went to the promised land, the Scripture says that the land expelled, spewed out the inhabitants of that territory;21 and that was in the fourth generation, because God said that in the fourth generation the descendants of Abraham would return to the land;22 and by then the iniquity of the Amorites was full; and that takes place in the fourth stage or fourth generation.
We had been speaking about that not too long ago, just briefly touching on it, but it’s in the fourth generation that the Divine Judgment falls upon the nations represented in the Amorites and Philistines and all those people; that is why He told Abraham: “The iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full,” (in the days of Abraham).23 See? Therefore, God would still let them live in that territory.
When Rev. William Branham wanted to go to Israel to preach there, the Angel told him not to go, and said: “The iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full, stay out of there.”24 Elijah couldn’t go, Elijah couldn’t begin the ministry of – the relevant one, which pertains to Revelation chapter 11; that pertains to the fourth generation.
The fourth generation for the Church is the Age of the Cornerstone; and the fourth generation for the world pertains to this end time, which is the fourth stage of the feet, and it is in the feet of iron and clay of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar saw.25
Remember that the fourth kingdom or empire… the Roman empire, has two parts; one was already fulfilled: the legs of iron; and after the fulfillment of that part, what’s left is the feet of iron and clay, iron mixed with clay is left: the fourth generation of what empire? Of the empire of the Gentiles.
And at the end of the fourth generation of the empire of the Gentiles, which pertains to the feet of iron and clay, that is when the Divine judgment will come upon the statue; because notice, when the Stone cut out without hands (from Daniel chapter 2, verses 30 to 45) comes: It smites the image in the feet of iron and clay. That is the Coming of the Lord at the Last Day.
In the First Coming He didn’t smite the statue in the legs of iron; it was the legs of iron, the Roman empire, that smote Him on the Cross: by crucifying Him.
And now, we see the kingdom of the Gentiles in its fourth generation; and we see the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Her fourth generation, the Age of the Cornerstone. Therefore, we are at the time for the Divine judgment upon the kingdom of the Gentiles, which Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 and on, speaks about. And let’s read it so that we can have a clear picture, and so that we know what will happen at this end time.
It says in chapter 11, verses 15 to 19, of 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.” (Amen.)
And that Seventh Trumpet is sounded by whom? Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees; that is why It is in Revelation chapter 11. In Revelation chapter 11, verse 1 to 14, is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees. And once the Trumpet has sounded, what comes next? That voice from Heaven comes – those voices from 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.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry…”
The way they are now: angry, with wars everywhere, internal wars; those are (what?) civil wars; a civil war in different countries, civil wars. Look at the Middle East, the situation that they are in. And also wars of nation against nation.
That is the situation: the nations are angry, the Earth is full of violence in every way; the way they were there in Genesis chapter 5 and chapter 6, that is how they were before the flood came. Rev. William Branham says that the antediluvian people had atomic, nuclear power, and that was one of the things that also contributed to the flood.26
And now, notice, with the tsunami of Japan, the earthquake and the tsunami, notice the problems there are with radioactivity: the danger there is with those power plants, those nuclear power stations for electricity (yes, it is already a dangerous situation);27 and well, they will never tell the whole truth so that people don’t get alarmed.
But all of Latin America could suffer consequences from what happens over there; because Latin America, the majority of Latin America has – it has a coastline along, is it the Pacific? And Japan is also in the Pacific.
So, the western part of the Pacific pertains to Japan and that whole part of Asia; and the eastern part of the Pacific pertains to western North America, meaning, California, all that; it continues going down: Baja California, it continues going down by Mexico, it continues going down to Colombia – Central America, around there: Panama, Guatemala, around El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua; it continues going down all of that, and it also goes down to Colombia.
Venezuela doesn’t have a coastline on the Pacific, right? [Bro. Miguel: Colombia does.] Colombia does. It continues going down to Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina, around there… [Bro. Miguel: No, but not in Patagonia…] But it also has a Pacific coastline.
And which other country? Further down I see Uruguay… Well, all of that around there is at risk from everything that happens over in Japan and China; well, there’s a risk because it’s in the Pacific, and the contamination in the Pacific sea can be great, because of the problems that happen in Asia.
And for the Millennium, well… If there will be a day that shall burn as an oven, one of the things that will contribute to it burning so much, getting so hot, will be the radioactivity, the nuclear energy, which is stored in these facilities, power plants, or what are they called? Reactors, and all that, and the atomic bombs; and an atomic war that is prophesied as well. So, it will be very hot.
And the Earth will be straightened up by those atomic bombs that will explode; the volcanoes as well, and all the radioactivity that is stored as well.
In other words, what they will have – what will be on Earth is a flood of fire everywhere: radioactivity falling upon mankind; and also earthquakes, tidal waves; all of that is what is promised as a Divine judgment upon the human race for the Great Tribulation, “the day that shall burn as an oven,”28 “the day of vengeance of our God;”29 because God will avenge the blood of the saints,30 both the saints of the Jewish martyrs as well as the martyrs of Christianity.
But don’t worry, the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and She will be in a place where radioactivity won’t affect Her in any way, She will be in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Therefore, we still have a bit of time left. We don’t know how much time we have left on Earth. But remember that it was said that there will be a squeeze for the Bride-Church; they will try to prevent the Church of the Lord from continuing the preaching of the Gospel, they will try—through many ways—to close the churches of the elect at the Last Day.
Therefore, everyone be praying with your congregations, and never join any group or person who wants churches to be closed or churches to be blocked off. Instead, pray that it never happens.
Therefore, always act wisely, prudently, so that no one gives a reason for your congregation, your church, to be closed. Keep everything in order, and also in terms of your congregation’s accounting finances, keep a clear record, and that way, well, you will avoid problems.
And always be very united, never speaking about each other, but instead helping each other, and the ministers having good fellowship. And always be aware that an important Work, labor, is being carried out in the Divine Program.
And always be working in the missionary work, the evangelistic work, so that the very last elect reaches the Mystical Body of Christ; because once the Church is complete, then Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession and carry out His Claiming Work.
Onward working in all the projects of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: evangelism; the establishment of congregations: one congregation always multiplying into hundreds of congregations, and into hundreds of ministers as well; may the Work of God always grow. Just as it began back then with 120: it multiplied quickly; may it also be that way in our time.
And always support the missionary and evangelistic work, support every work in the Mystical Body of Christ.
It has been a great privilege to be with you, sharing these moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time; and seeing that all of you understand that there is a Divine Program relevant to our time.
May God bless you and keep you, and always continue working in the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ; and praying a lot with your congregations so that God always gives His Church the victory.
Remember that it is a difficult moment, a difficult hour, more than what you can imagine. But remember that when the apostolic Church back then (which was Jewish) with the apostles, which was born there on the Day of Pentecost, when they tried to prevent them from being able to preach, and they persecuted them, and killed some of them: they prayed; and then Heaven answered: there was an earthquake, a tremor, and they were filled with the Spirit; and they continued preaching, and God continued increasing the group of elect, He continued adding to His Church such as should be saved.31
Remember, the Church began with struggles, persecutions against Her, but She has survived; She is two thousand years old now, around two thousand years old, and She is still working. It is Christ working in His Church; it isn’t the Church Herself, but Christ in His Church.
Just as the Spirit of God, the Angel of the Covenant, God with the Angel of the Covenant, God’s heavenly body, was working in Jesus; then, from the Day of Pentecost and on, God in Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit, is – has been working in His Church through the members of His Church, placing different ministries: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers; and also helpers in His Church. But all of that has been done by (what? Whom?) the Spirit Itself, the Holy Spirit Itself, Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in His Church.
Therefore, He has been working through human flesh, human veils, carrying out the relevant Work in His Church, and through His Church, taking the Gospel to all the nations.
That is why the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is represented in the virgin Mary, who received the Word and said: “Be it unto me according to Thy Word;”32 and that is why Jesus was born, the veil of flesh was born of the virgin Mary. And that is why all the children of God are born through Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in His Church. It’s in and through the Church that God’s sons and daughters are born into the Kingdom of God, in the Dispensation of Grace; because the Church is represented in the virgin Mary.
That is why God’s sons and daughters won’t be born through a woman anymore, but through the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; who are born, not of flesh and blood, not of the union of a man and a woman, but through the union of Christ and His Church, throughout the different stages of His Church.
That is the mystery of Christ and His Church, with whom Christ is united (with Her); and in the spiritual realm, this miracle is being brought forth of the birth of God’s sons and daughters into the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, being born into the Kingdom of God. And then comes the physical part: the adoption.
The spiritual adoption has been carried out in all the born-again believers in Christ, being born as God’s sons and daughters into the Kingdom of God; being born of the Water (of the Gospel) and of the Spirit (of the Holy Spirit). And what’s left is the physical adoption, which will be the transformation of the living and the resurrection of the dead in Christ, into glorified bodies. That is the adoption of the body, the adoption of God’s sons and daughters in eternal, immortal, glorified bodies, like the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Therefore, those people are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and those people will never be lost: they are anointed with the Holy Spirit; they have received the Holy Spirit, together with the messenger of each age. Each group of each age has received the Holy Spirit and is anointed, each group is anointed, each individual is anointed, and so is the messenger. That is how it will be at this end time.
“THE SECURITY OF GOD’S ANOINTED,” of God’s Anointed as a member of the Mystical Body of Christ, God’s Anointed One as a messenger, God’s Anointed as the Mystical Body of Christ in each age.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be with all of you; and soon, may the Coming of the Lord to His Church become a reality, which is promised as a mystery that is going to be manifested.
And then the Coming of the Lord to reign will be after the Great Tribulation, with all the elect—who will come in glorified bodies as well—after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
We have to know how to differentiate what the Coming of the Lord to His Church is, which will be “as a thief,” (it says), “in the night.”33 The world is in darkness, it is nighttime for them. We are in the evening time and the world goes into darkness—and the world has always been in darkness—that is the reason for the candlestick with seven lamps (that is used at night), and it pertains to the seven stages of the Church of the Lord among the Gentiles.
So, notice these mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
And now, we are in the West. The First Coming of the Lord was in the East, in the midst of the people who were waiting for Him; the Second Coming of the Lord to His Church will be in the last stage of His Church, and that blessing pertains to the West; and It will be as a thief in the night: It will be a secret, but that secret will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to receive the faith to be transformed and go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Therefore, we are waiting for that mystery of the Seventh Seal, which is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord, to be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church is the One to whom it must be opened, because the Church of the Lord is the One that will be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Well, it has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion.
May God bless you and keep you; and I leave Rev. Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you again, to continue and conclude when he sees fit.
And tomorrow we will see each other again, where? In this same place, for tomorrow’s Sunday morning service; for all the people who will gather here in this place, and for those who will be connected through the Amazonas satellite or the internet in different nations.
Well, may God bless you and keep you.
And remember that it’s very early tomorrow, right? The service here is announced for 8:00 in the morning, which will be what time in Puerto Rico? In Puerto Rico it will be 9:00 in the morning; and in Mexico it will be what? It will be 7:00 in the morning in Mexico. So, each nation arranges things with their congregation.
May God bless you and keep you; and see you tomorrow, God willing.
I greatly appreciate your prayers. So, pray for me a lot because this is a very dangerous time, a very delicate time, not just for you and your congregations, but also for me.
Therefore, I trust that you will continue praying; you can multiply it as much as you want, so that everyone is praying; and on days of service as well, and at home too. Because these will be difficult days for me, and also for all the ministers, and for all the congregations. Pray a lot so that God gives us the victory.
Well, may God bless you and keep you; and I will leave Missionary Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you.
