Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of fellowship with you in divine love around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For which I want to read in Romans, chapter 8, verse 10 and on, where it says the following:
“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ADOPTION OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.”
The Seventh Seal of Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1, and Revelation, chapter 5, from verses 1 to 8, there we find the Seventh Seal in the Book of the Seven Seals; and the mystery contained in the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ.
And the purpose of His Coming at the Last Day is to carry out the Reclaiming Work, in which all the sons and daughters of God who are alive, and those who have departed in past ages and some of our own who have departed, are adopted; it is for the adoption of all the sons and daughters of God, where He carries out the Reclaiming Work, and the adoption of every son and daughter of God will come.
Now, in order to understand the adoption of the sons and daughters of God, where we will obtain the eternal body, we need to understand that there is an earthly Israel, which is the Hebrew people, and there is a heavenly Israel, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Notice, Saint Paul, speaking to us here about the heavenly Israel and the earthly Israel, tells us in Galatians, chapter 4, verses 22 to 31:
“For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.”
And now, notice how he speaks to us: “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all,” or “she is free.”
Here we have the Hebrew people represented in Hagar and her son Ishmael, who, notice, along with his mother represents the Hebrew people. Saint Paul says Hagar is a mountain, in other words, she represents that mountain; let us see, he says:
“For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.”
Surely the Hebrews of that time did not like this parable of Saint Paul very much, but here, Saint Paul is showing in types and figures, in the life of the prophet and patriarch Abraham, the seed of Abraham: one after the flesh and the other by faith, after the spirit, by the promise.
And now, Abraham had Ishmael through Hagar: he came first. Then, through Sarah, he had Isaac: he came after; but he was the son God had promised (to whom?) to Abraham.
And now, these two sons, one represents – Ishmael represents the Hebrew people and the other represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The earthly Israel is the Hebrew people and the heavenly Israel is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now we can see why Ishmael persecuted Isaac, just as the Hebrew people persecuted Christianity back then when it was born. In its childhood, notice the great persecutions that the Hebrew people made against Christianity: they killed or asked for the death of Christ, they asked for the death of many of the apostles of Christ, and so on and so forth, we can see that they brought great persecution. All of this had already been represented in Ishmael persecuting Isaac.
Now, in this parable or allegory, Saint Paul shows us with clear details the Program of God for the earthly Israel and the heavenly Israel, both represented, one in Ishmael and the other one in Isaac.
Now, notice a detail about Ishmael here. We find that God told him Ishmael would beget princes; that was when Abraham prayed for Ishmael, because Abraham also wanted the blessing for his son Ishmael; and now, God tells him that He will also bless him. Look here in Genesis, chapter 17, let us see what it tells us here: verse 15 and on, says:
“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.”
Look at all these blessings that are coming to Sarah and the son who would come through Sarah, because those blessings that are coming to Sarah come through the son she is going to have; it says: “She shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.” Kings of people shall be of her. In the Millennial Kingdom, remember: “kings of people” will be descendants of the promised Son; and we are going to leave that alone for the time being.
“Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!”
That is every parents wish for their children: that they live before God, serving God all the days of their lives; because then, they will live eternally if they serve God.
“And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.”
We can see here how God tells him that He will not only bless Isaac and his seed, but He will also bless his son Ishmael. That day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all his servants and he circumcised them, and Abraham was also circumcised at that time:
“And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.”
Now, notice, Abraham was circumcised at 99 years old, and at that time, Ishmael was about 13 years old, and that is when God’s Covenant of circumcision with Abraham began.
Now we can see that these two peoples are in the Program of God: one earthly and the other heavenly.
For the earthly Israel, there will be an adoption as a nation; for the heavenly Israel there will be an adoption as Church; and the members of the heavenly Israel will have an adoption as individuals, and they will come to be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, with a glorified and eternal physical body and with an eternal theophanic spirit as well, which the elect of God, the children of God, receive when they have received Christ as their Savior and washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and received the Spirit of Christ; that is when they receive that theophanic body, which is the theophanic spirit of the sixth dimension.
If their physical bodies die, they continue living because they go on to live in Paradise, and they live in that theophanic body, which resembles this body we currently have, but it is from another dimension.
For the Last Day, those who have received the new birth —which are the sons and daughters of God— are the ones who have received Christ as their Savior, washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ and received the Spirit of Christ, and therefore, they are the ones who have the promise of a new body, an eternal body, which they will receive at the Last Day. If their physical bodies have died, they will be raised in eternal bodies; and if we are alive when the dead in Christ resurrect, then we will be changed.
Now, what will they and how have those sons and daughters of God, those elect of God, been from age to age? And where have they been? I’ll tell you where those children of God have been and who are those children of God that will be adopted at the Last Day, who belong to the heavenly Israel: they are the ones who have received the Message and the messenger of their age as the different stages of the Church of Jesus Christ have been fulfilled or have been in fulfillment.
From age to age, we can see the different stages of the Church, the messengers; and each messenger brought God’s Message for his age, and each age was fulfilled in a certain territory, and from that territory, the Message spread to other places, to other nations, and in each age, it gathered the elect of each age.
Every person belonging to each age was somehow directly or indirectly connected to the messenger of his age. Perhaps he never personally heard the messenger, but he heard someone who had received the Message of that messenger, or that person may have received the Message from another person who had received the Message of the messenger; in other words, they are connected by that thread of divine revelation, going from the messenger to the ministers of that age, who worked with the messenger of that age until the elect of that age were gathered. That is how it has been from age to age; and those are the ones who will be resurrected if they departed, and those who are alive will be changed at this end time.
Now, who are the ones that will be resurrected at the Last Day? Those who belong to the different ages of the gentile Church and some of our own, from our age, who have departed.
And who are the ones who will be changed while they are alive at this end time? It will be the ones who will be receiving the Word of God, the Message of God, of the time relevant to this time in the Program of God.
We are living in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone because we are living at the Last Day, in the end time; and therefore, where are the ones who will be changed at this end time? They will be at the Age of the Cornerstone, receiving the Word of God for the Age of the Cornerstone, for all the sons and daughters of God; and they will not be there with their arms crossed, standing idly by during this age, rather, they will be working in the businesses of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the House of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is His Church.
As Jesus Christ said: “I must be about my Father’s business.” And every son and daughter of God must do the same in the time in which they have been given to live: they must be about their heavenly Father’s business, working in that business day after day; because no one can be adopted if he is not working in his heavenly Father’s business.
In Luke, chapter 2, verse 49, is where Jesus said: “I must be about my Father’s business,” and He was only 12 years old. This means that even children work in their heavenly Father’s business, even when they are children, everyone works; also youth, adults and elderly people as well; they work in the business of our Lord Jesus Christ in the age where they must be at this end time, just as the sons and daughters of God of past ages worked in the business of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the House of God, in the Church of Jesus Christ.
And now, we have seen that the House of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ —which is also the heavenly Israel, the seed of Abraham through Christ, the heavenly seed of Abraham through Jesus Christ—, we can see that from age to age, they have been manifested here on Earth in mortal bodies and they have received the Spirit of Christ, and therefore, they have received their theophanic body in the age in which they have been granted to live; but the full manifestation of the sons and daughters of God has never been carried out in past ages, because the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God is the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God in eternal bodies, the adoption of the children of God, the redemption of the body, where we will all obtain the new body; and that body is an eternal body, a glorified body that Jesus Christ will give to us all at this end time, and to all the sons and daughters of God from past ages, along with the messengers of past ages and also to the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone.
Now, where is the Divine Program found in our time?
In the time of Saint Paul it was found in the first age, in the time of Irenaeus it was found in the second age; in the time of Paul, it was found in Asia Minor, in the time of Irenaeus, it was found in France.
In the time of Martin, it was found in the third age, and that age was being fulfilled in Hungary and France; in the time of Columba, it was found in Ireland and Scotland, in that fourth age; and in the time of Luther, it was found in the fifth age, there in Germany; in the time of Wesley, it was found in the sixth age, there in England; in the time of William Marrion Branham, it was found in the seventh age, there in North America.
And now, where is the Program of God found and where are God’s sons and daughters receiving the Word of God? The Program of God is found in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the eighth age; and eight represents eternity; and since it is the eighth age… The number eight, notice, there aren’t eight days in a week, only seven days; and when we say the eighth day, that is referring to the first day of a new week, in other words, it goes back to the beginning.
And now, in order for us to return to eternal life in an eternal body, we return in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age that represents eternity, where God’s Eternal Message will be, which will be preached at the Last Day by a messenger. According to Revelation, chapter 14, in verse 6, we find the messenger who will be preaching. It says:
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people…”
And the Gospel is preached by human beings, and the angels wish to see that great blessing that God gives human beings1</a>; and the messengers who have preached the Gospel during the seven ages of the gentile Church are the seven angel messengers of the seven ages, and beside them have been the ministers God has sent to work in the Work of God along with those messengers who have been preaching the Gospel of the Grace.
For the Last Day, God will send His Angel Messenger, who will begin preaching the Gospel of the Grace and then, proceed to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Gospel to be preached to all the human beings at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium; through which the Earth, humanity, will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea2.
Humanity will be filled with the knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ in glory with His Angels, and thus, humanity will obtain the knowledge of the mystery of the Seventh Seal, and obtain the blessings contained in the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
And during the glorious Millennial Kingdom, humanity will be enjoying the blessings of the Second Coming of Christ, in which humanity will have peace, in which humanity will have prosperity and will have a clear and complete knowledge of God and His Program; and thus, humanity will obtain the divine knowledge required for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
God says through the prophet Zechariah in chapter 14… Let us read that passage of Zechariah, chapter 14, where it says (verse 8 to 9 says):
“And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
And the Lord shall be king over all the earth.”
That is the Reign of the Messiah; because the Lord of the Old Testament is the Jesus Christ of the New Testament, and the one who will sit on the Throne of David will be the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of the Old Testament; and that is why it says:
“And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.”
Therefore, humanity will also obtain the knowledge of the only true God; and therefore, there will not be religions and religious sects like there are nowadays and like there were in the past, because there will only be one religious teaching on planet Earth, and that is God’s teaching through the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the glorious Millennial Kingdom. That Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached at the Last Day by the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ for the Age of the Cornerstone.
That is why, just as the Hebrews brought the Gospel to the gentiles through the ministry of the Holy Spirit through Saint Peter and then through Saint Paul…; because Saint Peter was the one who opened the door to the gentiles in the house of Cornelius, and then, Saint Paul continued with the Message of the Gospel of the Grace among the gentiles.
And just as those two great ministries brought the Gospel to the gentiles (the Gospel of the Grace, the Gospel of the sixth dispensation), at the Last Day, in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Dispensation of the Kingdom (which intertwines with the Dispensation of the Grace), the Gospel that will be preached in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work; and from there, from the Age of the Cornerstone, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will go to the Hebrew people.
In other words, the first to receive the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom and understand It are God’s elect of the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, who will be under the ministry of the Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger.
And now, how will the gentiles take the Message, the Gospel to the Hebrews? How will the gentile Church take the Message of the Gospel to the Hebrews? Let us see. On page 30 of the book of The Ages in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, says3:
“Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentiles is finished…”
When? When the dispensation of the gentiles is finished; of which the apostle Saint Paul also spoke about in Romans, chapter 11 (let us make the connection here). Romans, chapter 11, verses 25 and on, it says there:
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”
When will God turn to the Hebrew people? When will all of Israel be saved? When the fullness of the gentiles has come in, which is the fullness of the Mystical Body of Christ. And the fullness of the Mystical Body of Christ will be fulfilled when the very last of God’s elect has come into the Age of the Cornerstone through the call of Christ, of the Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering together all of God’s elect; a call which Christ spoke about in Matthew 24, verse 31, when He said: “And He shall send His Angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from one end of heaven to the other.”
Now we can see that God’s elect among the gentiles, of the Mystical Body of Christ, will be called and gathered together at the Last Day through the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is 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, where Christ shows us His Coming to the Age of the Cornerstone just as He came to each age of His gentile Church in the angel messenger of each age, manifested in Holy Spirit, speaking to His people in each age. That is why it says: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit was speaking in each one of the Church ages through the angel messenger He sent in each age; and through that messenger, He was calling and gathering together His elect in each age, fulfilling what He said in John, chapter 10, verse 14 and on, and it says the following:
“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, which are not of the Hebrew people; they are not of the Hebrew people, therefore, they are from among the gentiles), them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
Now, how will they hear the Voice of the Good Shepherd, of Christ? Through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through each angel messenger during all these stages of the gentile Church.
“…And they shall hear my voice…”
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches,” because the Holy Spirit (which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit) in the angel messenger of each age, of each stage of the Church, is speaking and He is calling and gathering together the elect through the Message He is giving to them in each age.
Because “my sheep hear my Voice and they follow me,” the Voice of Christ, the Message of Christ through the messenger of each age anointed with the Spirit of Jesus Christ; with that Message, the sheep of Jesus Christ are called and gathered together in each age; the same Christ is the one who calls them through His manifestation in each angel messenger.
And where does He place them? He places them in His Church, which is His Mystical Body of believers, which is His Fold, where He places His sheep and there they form the Fold of the Lord. The Fold of the Lord is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“…and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
And for the end time, when the Prince of the shepherds appears, all those who have worked hand-in-hand with each angel messenger in each age will receive their reward; for the Son of Man comes with His Angels to reward every man according to his works, says in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27. And Revelation, chapter 22, verse 12, says:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
That is why the seven angel messengers will be judged; and if they enter, their group will also enter: they will resurrect in eternal bodies and they will be with us on Earth again, they will also be with us in that glorious feast, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and they will also be with us in the Millennial Kingdom and throughout eternity.
Now, at this end time, where will Christ be calling and gathering together His sheep? And through whom will Christ be manifested at the Last Day, speaking to His children, to His sheep, calling them and gathering them together? He will be at the Age of the Cornerstone speaking through His Angel Messenger, the Angel of Jesus, at the Last Day.
And with which Message will He be speaking to us and calling us and gathering us together? It is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ.
That is why the Message that the gentiles —the Church of Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone— will take to the Hebrew people is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Now, how will this happen for the Hebrew people? It says:
“Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentiles is finished.”
And where does it end? It ends here, in the Age of the Cornerstone, where the last elect of God are called and gathered together; and that is where the Dispensation of the Kingdom intertwines with the Dispensation of the Grace, and where the last elect of God of the Church of Jesus Christ come in.
“The Gospel is ready to go back to the Jews. Oh, if I could just tell you something that is about to happen right in this our day. This great thing that is about to happen will carry over to Revelation 11 (To where? To the Two Olive Trees, which is Revelation 11), and pick up those two witnesses, those two prophets, Moses and Elijah, turning the Gospel back to the Jews.”
Who takes the Gospel to the Jews? Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees; those are the ministries that will go. And if they are going to take something to them, then they must be in the place where they receive what they are going to take to them. From where will they take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the Jews? Well, they will take it to them from among the gentiles. From among the gentile Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, they will take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the Hebrews.
The Age of the Cornerstone is the most blessed age, it is the age that has the great blessings of God for this end time and for all of eternity. It is the age that has the Message that the Hebrew people will receive at the Last Day (that is, in the seventh millennium), under the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which will first be (where?) in the midst of the gentile Church; because those are the ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man.
And where does the Son of man with His Angels come first? First, He comes to His gentile Church in the Age of the Cornerstone; and wherever the Son of Man is manifested, revealed, veiled and revealed in human flesh through His Angel Messenger, Moses will be there and Elijah too, His Angels will be there.
Notice, when God went to destroy the antediluvian world with a flood, He sent an eagle; that was Noah; because God typifies or represents His prophets in and with eagles, and even God Himself represents Himself in an eagle. And now, when the Bible speaks to us about an eagle, It is referring to a prophet.
And now, notice… Let us see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, then we will continue with that. Let us see. Page 301 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, says4:
“And then according to the time that God was going to deliver the antediluvian world, He sent the eagle (that was Noah). And time He was going to deliver Israel, He sent the eagle (Who was that? Moses). Do you believe that the time, even on John, on the Isle of Patmos, this Message was so perfect that He couldn’t trust It with an Angel (in other words, a literal angel)? You know, an angel is a messenger. But do you know the messenger was a prophet? You believe that? Let’s prove it. Revelation 22, let’s see if it was a eagle (What is that Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ? An eagle, in other words, he is represented in an eagle). Yeah. See, he was a…Sure, he was an angel, he’s the messenger, but it was a prophet that revealed this whole Book of Revelation to him… Watch what John seen here.
‘…I John saw these things, and heard them.’
Now he’s closing. This is the last chapter.
‘…And when I… heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed these things, which showed me these things.
And, ‘he,’ then, ‘the angel,’ see. Then said he to me, See thou do it not:… (No true prophet would be worshipped, or messenger of any kind, see. That’s to God alone). Then said he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book: worship God.’
Revelation 22:8-9
See? Now, the Book was so important, that, It is the Word of God. Now watch. And when the Word of God is brought forth, It’s got to be brought by the prophet, because that’s who the Word of God comes to.”
When a person appears saying he has received God’s revelation for an age or a dispensation, well, he must be the messenger of that age or that dispensation. If he brings a dispensational Message, then he is the prophet of that dispensation; if not, he cannot bring the Message for that dispensation.
Now, we can see the secret here regarding the Messages of God for each age and for each dispensation: It must be brought by the messenger of that age or that dispensation. If it is a Message for an age, then it is brought by the messenger of that age, in whom the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit is manifested, speaking to that messenger and that messenger speaking to the people, but speaking to them anointed with the Spirit of Christ; first, the messenger receives the revelation and then he passes it on to the people.
And now, this Angel Messenger who gave John the apostle the revelation of Revelation, brother Branham says he is a prophet; that is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And how will the Message for the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom come? Through the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone; it cannot come through another person.
And for the Hebrew people, how will the Message of God come to the Hebrew people? It will come through the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the prophet who comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
And how and in whom will the ministries of Moses and Elijah come manifested? Well, in that prophet messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, who is the mouthpiece and the bearer of the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
And wherever Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is manifested fulfilling the Coming of the Son of Man, His Angels will also be there.
It is like an eagle. Notice, if you put an eagle in front of you, or if an eagle stands in front of you, and when that eagle came, it came with two wings. And the Scripture tells us about the Sun of Righteousness rising (unto whom?) unto those that fear the Name of the Lord and it says5: “…with healing in his wings.”
That is the Coming of the Lord, the Great Eagle, “with healing in his wings”: on one side… He has a wing on His right, there we have Moses; and the other wing, there we have Elijah. His two powerful wings: the ministries of Moses and Elijah. And the Eagle is our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of Man coming at the Last Day, being manifested at the Last Day.
He will have a veil of flesh for that manifestation, through which Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested, manifesting, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus, in the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
You cannot separate the ministry of Moses and put it in another person, because that would be like getting an eagle and taking away one of its wings, and then the eagle cannot fly any more. And what will you do with that wing if you put it somewhere else, when the promise is that the Son of Man will come with His Angels?
In other words, Jesus Christ will come with His two powerful wings, Moses and Elijah. How can they take away one of His wings, or both wings, and leave the Coming of the Son of Man without wings? He must come with His two great wings, which are Moses and Elijah. The ministries of Moses and Elijah come with the ministry of Jesus.
Wherever the ministry of Jesus is manifested, the ministries of Moses and Elijah will also be there; Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested at the Last Day, operating the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah.
That is why the Coming of the Son of Man for the Last Day is represented in the rising sun, because: “Unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings.”
The sun rises in the morning, and on the morning of the seventh millennium and on the morning of the seventh dispensation, we have the Sun of Righteousness rising according to the divine promise. That is the promise for the sons and daughters of God; that is the promise of the Coming of Christ, the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, for the Last Day.
But that Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ, rather, he is only the instrument of Jesus Christ in whom Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus.
Those three great ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus, will be manifested in His Angel Messenger; and that is the reason John the apostle tried to worship the Angel, and the Angel told him not to do it6. Why? Because he saw the manifestation of Christ, the revelation of Jesus Christ in His Angel Messenger.
Jesus Christ reveals Himself, He veils Himself and reveals Himself in His Angel Messenger, and He operates the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah at the Last Day.
That is why that which the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said does not contradict and has no contradiction regarding what Christ will be doing at the Last Day manifesting the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus at the end time.
He said (the forerunner said) that God does not have two major prophets on Earth at the same time; and Moses, Jesus and Elijah are announced to come at the Last Day, but those are the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah to be manifested at the Last Day by Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger in the midst of His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone. And that is why in that manifestation, Christ will be giving us the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom through His Angel Messenger.
Notice, also on page 326 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, referring to Moses, he says7:
“Moses will be the same person. Now, and we find out, in Revelation 22:8, the same thing.”
And we read Revelation, chapter 22, verse 8 a few moments ago. And who appears there? In Revelation 22, verse 8, it says:
“‘I John saw these things, and heard them.’ (Now he’s closing. This is the last chapter). ‘…And when I… heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed these things, which showed me these things.
And, ‘he,’ then, ‘the angel,’ see. ‘Then said he to me, See thou do it not:…
(No true prophet would be worshipped, or messenger of any kind, see. That’s to God alone). ‘Then said he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book: worship God.’”
Who is Revelation 22, verse 8? He says it is Moses:
“Moses will be the same person. Now, and we find out, in Revelation 22:8, the same thing.”
And now, when Moses is shown, it is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ because the ministry of Moses will be manifested in the Angel of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit; and the ministry of Jesus will also be manifested by the Holy Spirit; and the ministry of Elijah will also be manifested for the fifth time by the Holy Spirit.
And now we can see that God is sending the three powerful major ministries He has sent to Earth: the ministry of Moses, Elijah and Jesus, and now He is sending them in one man alone. Therefore, there are not two major prophets on Earth at the same time, nor three major prophets at the same time, but one prophet with a threefold ministerial manifestation of the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah. This Angel Messenger comes with a triple ministerial portion.
Now, this is so because this Earth is going to be judged. And according to the Divine Law, in the Old Testament two or three witnesses were needed8, because otherwise, the judgment was not carried out correctly, according to God’s will. And God is going to judge humanity at this Last Day, He is going to judge the nations, and that is why He sends Elijah, Moses and Jesus to Earth at the Last Day.
Now, Revelation, chapter 11, says… Let us see here. Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, says:
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses (What are they? The Two Witnesses) and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”
In Zechariah, chapter 4, verse 10 to 14, we also find these Two Olive Trees, which are the Two Witnesses.
Now, God sends the Two Witnesses to Earth at the end time. They will be among the Hebrew people, but before that, these ministries will be among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because wherever Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit is manifested at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, all the ministries of God will also be there. Why? Because the only one who has ministries is God, and God manifests them through His Spirit in the different stages, ages and dispensations.
Therefore, if the Owner of all the ministries is there, then whose ministries are there? The ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; and if another ministry is needed, it will also be there, because the Owner of all the ministries is there, which is God.
And now, the Two Witnesses… There we have two Witnesses for the end time, in which God will judge all the nations; but do you know that God will not have two Witnesses, but three Witnesses? And who is the third Witness?
Let us look in Revelation to see who is the third Witness that God will have here on Earth; let us see if we can quickly find who that third Witness is. In Revelation, chapter 3, verse 14, it says:
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God…”
Jesus Christ is the faithful and true Witness, He is the beginning of the Creation of God. Here we have the third Witness to be present at the Last Day in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
The fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels is the fulfillment of the Coming of the three Witnesses of God that will be on Earth at the Last Day.
Now, we can see that for the Last Day, in the Church of Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, the three Witnesses will be present in the manifestation of the Son of Man with His Angels, Jesus Christ coming in Holy Spirit, in human flesh, manifested in His Angel Messenger according to the divine promise.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says, speaking to us about the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, he says on page 134 of the book of The Seals9:
“Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
And on page 277 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, says (while praying, he says)10:
“…May the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
Who is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit, in other words, it is Jesus Christ.
And now, for the Last Day He will come manifested on Earth in the midst of His Church to carry out all the Work relevant to the claim of everything He has redeemed with His precious Blood, the call of God’s elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet and the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation for us who are alive; He comes for the adoption of all the sons and daughters of God.
And now, how will He come at the Last Day with that Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering together His elect? On page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, it says:
“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.”
What will the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 be? It will be the Coming of the Word, the Word, the Word incarnate in a man; it will be the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, manifesting the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah.
And now, notice what will be the coming of the ministry of Elijah at the Last Day, in other words, the fifth manifestation of Elijah, of the ministry of Elijah, which is the ministry… one of the ministries that will go to the Hebrew people with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. On page 399 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, they asked him question number 11, which says the following11:
“Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews, the real man who lived on earth, in the days of Ahab, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?’
(The answer was):
I’m inclined to believe that it will be anointed men of their spirit. Because, see, he says, when Elijah was caught up and Elisha encountered the sons of the prophets, they said: ‘Does not… on Elisha? Does not the spirit of Elijah rest on Elisha?’ See, ‘the spirit of Elijah.’ And he done just like Elijah did.”
Now, what will be and who will be the fifth Elijah at the Last Day? It will be a man of this time anointed with that spirit.
That ministerial spirit will be manifested in that anointed man of this time, who will be anointed with the Holy Spirit, and therefore, the Holy Spirit will anoint him with the ministry of Elijah at the Last Day in the fifth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah.
We also saw that the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 is the Coming of the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, coming in human flesh, coming in a man of this end time.
And what will be the ministry of Moses at the Last Day? It is the ministry of the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; it is the ministry of Moses manifested by the Holy Spirit in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the ministries of Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time will also be manifested.
But that man is not Jesus Christ, he is not Elijah and he is not Moses either; he is a man of this time; he is the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom, anointed with the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Spirit operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus in him.
God must always have a man of the time in which He manifests the ministry He has promised for that time.
And now, we have seen this mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
And all of this is carried out at the Last Day, because God’s elect have reached the age in which they will be adopted, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; just as among the Hebrew people, a child who would be adopted, a son who would be adopted had to reach the right age. And now, the sons and daughters of God have reached the right age as a Mystical Body of Christ; the Church of Jesus Christ has reached the right age, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Adoption.
On Mount Transfiguration, Christ was adopted there; He reached the summit, the top of Mount Transfiguration with Peter, James and John, and Moses and Elijah appeared there (one on each side of Jesus), His face shone like the sun and His raiment was shining as the light; and there, Jesus was adopted. And that is a type and figure of the adoption of the children of God at the Last Day; it is a type and figure of the adoption of the Mystical Body of Christ and of every elect of God for the Last Day.
The ministries of Moses and Elijah must be present, which are the ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man for the Last Day; and the face of the Lord must be shining as the sun there, which represents… Christ must be there as King of kings and Lord of lords; because the sun represents the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords; because the sun is the king star, and Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and He is the Light of the world as the Sun of Righteousness.
And now, notice all the things that will be manifested at the Last Day for the adoption of all the sons and daughters of God and for the Church of Jesus Christ as a Mystical Body of believers, as a Church, for her adoption.
Notice, what was seen on Mount Transfiguration must be materialized in the midst of His Church at the Last Day, in the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, manifesting the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah; and there, we will be seeing Jesus with His face as the sun, in other words, we will be seeing Him as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work; and we will also be seeing Moses and Elijah, that is, the ministries of Moses and Elijah also manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.
And that is how at the Last Day, God’s elect will receive the call of God to come up to the Age of the Cornerstone, in order to be adopted at this end time, according to the divine promise; and there, obtain the new body, the eternal body Christ has promised each one of you and for me as well.
Now, the territory for this great event of the Divine Program in the Mystical Body of Christ… Just as there was a territory for each age in which each age was fulfilled and the messenger and the Message of each age came, there is also a territory in the Program of God ordained for the fulfillment of that great event; and that territory is Latin America and the Caribbean.
Latin America and the Caribbean is the territory that will have the blessing of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, in which the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus will be manifested in the midst the Church of Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone; because the Age of the Cornerstone of the Church of Jesus Christ is fulfilled in the Latin American and Caribbean territory, and that is why, with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, He calls His children in Latin America and the Caribbean; and we will see that the majority of God’s children are Latin American and Caribbean people at the Last Day, in other words, God’s sons and daughters of the Last Day, with whom God completes the number of His Mystical Body of believers.
And once the number of God’s elect has been completed, the resurrection of the dead in Christ will come and the transformation for us who are alive; and then, that is when the adoption of God’s sons and daughters will be complete, in other words, the adoption of the sons and daughters of God will be fulfilled, in all its fullness, because we will be in the new body, the eternal body, which Christ has promised for each one of us who live at this time and those who departed in the past ages.
And now, notice what a great blessing God has for the Latin American and Caribbean people at this end time. And that is why God sent you to live as a person from Latin American and the Caribbean at this end time, because the call would be among the Latin American and Caribbean people. And if someone has gone to another nation, the Message will reach him all the way over there if he is a son or she is a daughter of God. Because Christ said12: “Not one of them should perish.” Therefore, the Message will reach him wherever he is.
And from Latin America and the Caribbean, the Message will spread to all the other nations; the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will spread to all the nations and it will reach the Hebrew people, who are awaiting it at this end time.
And the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. The Earth and all its inhabitants will be filled with the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels at this end time. The Earth will obtain, humanity will obtain the knowledge of the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, it will obtain the knowledge of the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in His Angel Messenger, operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus at this end time.
Now, despite that great manifestation of Jesus Christ operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus in His Angel Messenger, His Angel Messenger is not Moses, he is not Elijah and he is not Jesus; he is a man of this end time who is anointed with the Spirit of God, in whom God operates the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah at this end time; and therefore, he is the messenger for the Age of the Cornerstone and for the Dispensation of the Kingdom at this end time; and therefore, he is this messenger of Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6:
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people…”
And now, in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 8 and on…
Remember that John the apostle represents the Church of Jesus Christ and the messengers of the Church of Jesus Christ; and by him going through those different stages that he saw the Church of Jesus Christ go through, John the apostle is representing the Church of Jesus Christ and its messengers going through its different stages.
And now, notice the stage John the apostle reaches. Revelation, chapter 10, verse 8, says:
“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
Now notice, the order here to prophecy before many peoples, nations, tongues and kings. Then this Angel of Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6, fulfills it by preaching the Eternal Gospel before every people, nation, tongue and kings, starting at this end time and then continuing into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
That is also why, after receiving the order: “And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings,” then comes Revelation 11, which is the ministry of Moses and Elijah. Chapter 11, verse 3 and on, says:
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”
Now, notice who is the one that has the ministry to prophecy before many peoples, nations and tongues: we have the Two Olive Trees there, which are Moses and Elijah; and those are the ministries that will be manifested in the Angel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the ministry to prophecy before many peoples, nations and tongues will be in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, preaching all these things which must shortly come to pass at this end time; he comes with the Message of the Eternal Gospel, to preach it to all those that dwell on the Earth.
Now we can see this mystery and now we can see why the gentiles will take the Message to the Hebrews.
And now, notice, it says: “This great thing…” On page 30, which we started reading at the beginning, now we are going to continue, (from the book of The Ages); it says:
“This great thing that is about to happen will carry over to Revelation 11 and pick up those two witnesses, those two prophets, Moses and Elijah, turning the Gospel back to the Jews. We’re ready for it. Everything is in order. As the Jews brought the message to the Gentiles, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews, and the Rapture will come.”
In other words, before the rapture, before we go, God will open the eyes of 144.000 Hebrews, because they will be seeing this manifestation of Christ through His Angel Messenger, who will be preaching the Eternal Gospel, the Gospel of the Kingdom; and God… at the time when the dead in Christ resurrect and we who are living are changed, at that time, we will not have limitations as far as what God will do through us, through His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone, through the ministry He will have there in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the ministry of Jesus, Moses and Elijah in His Angel Messenger.
And through His Angel Messenger, Christ will be carrying out the Work relevant to that period of time between the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture of the elect; for when the dead in Christ resurrect and we who are alive are changed, we will still be here on Earth in the eternal bodies, we will be here for 30 to 40 days; and in 30 or 40 days, when the elect of God are in their new body, great things will be happening.
Because if great things are happening, and we are taking the Message of Christ to all places while we are still in this mortal body, how will it be in those 30 or 40 days without limitations? There will be no more limitations in terms of what God will be doing through His Church through the ministry He will have in His Church, which is the ministry of Moses, Jesus and Elijah in His Angel Messenger.
And that work He will do in those 30 or 40 days will be worldwide; and the good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom making known the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels will reach the Hebrew people; and the Hebrew people will say: “This is the one we are waiting for and this is what we were waiting for!”
Where was it that the Hebrew people, the tribes of Israel or the patriarchs saw Joseph? Where was it that Joseph revealed himself to them? In Egypt, meaning, among the gentiles, and speaking another language; they saw him speaking another language, and then he revealed himself to them and he told them13: “I am Joseph your brother, who you sold.”
Now, the Hebrew people are seeking what God has promised for this end time, and they are going to find it. Where will it be? In the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ, at the Last Day, where the Dispensation of the Kingdom intertwines with the Dispensation of the Grace.
Now, we can see that in order for the gentiles to take the Message to the Hebrews, well, they must have the Message they are going to receive, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and to take the Message, it must be someone who has received the Message, and that must be a messenger; and therefore, it must be the Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and therefore, it must be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the ministries of Moses and Elijah will be manifested at the Last Day.
See how simple everything is? That is the same thing the Hebrew people will see among the gentile Church in the Age of the Cornerstone; but first, the gentile Church, God’s elect, will be seeing this that God has promised for this end time, they will be receiving it, and they will be receiving the benefits of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels at this end time.
We will be receiving our adoption, the redemption of our body, in other words, the transformation of our bodies, and thus, we will be receiving the new body, the eternal body Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me; because just as you need a new body to continue living throughout eternity, I also need a new body.
I still have the body of flesh I got from dad and mom, from my earthly parents; but the promise of Jesus Christ, the one who sent me, is that He will give me a new body, an eternal body, at this Last Day, at this end time, in the adoption of all the children of God.
And I have believed in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, I have washed away my sins in the Blood of Christ and I have received His Spirit, therefore, I have received a theophanic body, I have a theophanic body (and so do you), and what I am missing is the eternal and glorified physical body and so do you.
And when I have it, and when you also have yours, we will all be in a higher stage; we will be in a phase or stage in which there will be no limitations in terms of what we will be able to do in the Work of Christ, for the blessing of the gentiles whose names are written in the Book of Life as well as the Hebrew people.
Therefore, within those 30 or 40 days, great things will be happening, as it happened when Jesus Christ resurrected and the saints of the Old Testament resurrected with Him. Christ was performing great things, great wonders among His disciples, among His believers.
Now we can see what is the adoption of the sons and daughters of God and we can see for which time the adoption of the sons and daughters of God is promised; we can see that entire Program and we can see that the best part of the Program of God has fallen upon Latin America and the Caribbean.
Some Latin Americans have thought God had forgotten about Latin America and the Caribbean, but that is not the case: it is because God had Latin America and the Caribbean in first place for the greatest Work He would do among the gentiles, which will be carried out at the Last Day according to the Divine Program; and God has already begun to do that Work relevant to the Last Day among the Latin American and Caribbean people, which will culminate with the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation for us who are alive, when the very last of God’s elect is called and gathered together in the Mystical Body of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And then comes the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation for us who are alive; and then, all of Israel will receive the miracle of the opening of their spiritual eyes to see God’s manifestation in His spiritual Temple, in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple.
His Temple is His Church, His Mystical Body of believers, and that is where the Hebrew people will see the manifestation of God operating the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus, and performing the great wonders and miracles that are promised to be carried out worldwide; but before that, all of God’s elect must be called and gathered together.
And the elect do not need miracles to be called and gathered together, but the sheep-call, the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, which is the call of Christ; the Voice of Christ calling and gathering together His elect at this end time, with that Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing to us the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
In other words, by making known to the sons and daughters of God this mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, the sons and daughters of God are called and gathered together. The sons and daughters of God are not called and gathered together by anything else, only by the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming.
Pages 47 of the book of The Seals in Spanish says… Or rather: pages 47 of the book of Quotations, verse 402. This book contains excerpts taken from different messages of Reverend William Branham, and here we have an excerpt taken from the message “The Ten Virgins and the Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand Jews,” preached in 1960. It says:
“‘For we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord (down here) shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep.’ The precious ones (brethren) that sealed their blood-sealed their testimony with their blood (in other words, all the martyrs of the Church of Jesus Christ, who have died in past ages). ‘Not prevent (or hinder) those that are asleep (that is to say, those whose physical bodies have died), for the trumpet will sound.’ Something will take place, the Gospel something will sound, the announcing of His coming.”
Now, that “gospel something” is the Gospel of the Kingdom. And what will it be sounding? It will be sounding the Second Coming of Christ.
“‘And the dead in Christ shall rise first. And we which are alive and remain shall be changed.’ Standing, and feel a change come on, the gray hair go out…”
And when that happens, how many of you will see me with my hair as it is now, with some gray hairs? None of you. You are going to see me without gray hairs, because in the new body, there won’t be signs of the years that pass; no gray hairs, no wrinkles, no old age, we will not have any of that in that new body we will receive; no illnesses or problems, we will not have any kind of problem in that body.
“…the wrinkles fall away, be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. And we shall meet our loved ones first.”
Now, notice how it will be when the dead in Christ resurrect and we who are alive are changed: it will be a meeting of young people who will be representing 18 to 21 years of age in appearance. Those who are currently children will also be like that: when they receive the new body, they will also have a young body.
And now, the elderly people among us, if they remain alive until the dead in Christ resurrect, they will be changed; and they will no longer be elderly, rather, they will also be young people, like all the other sons and daughters of God.
We will all be young, and during those 30 or 40 days, what we will have will be —let us say— a great youth conference or convention or meeting for 30 to 40 days; and that will be worldwide. Therefore, the things God will be carrying out at that time will be known worldwide. The Hebrew people will come to know them, they will know what will be happening at that time, and they will say: “This is what we are waiting for.”
Now, since those are things that are for later on, let us leave them alone and let us see what things we must be doing before we are changed, before we are adopted. Because the only ones who will be adopted are the ones who will be in our heavenly Father’s business, working in the Work relevant to the time in which we have been given to live; and those are the ones who will be working in the Work of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone, who will be working in the business of our Lord Jesus Christ relevant to the Last Day and the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is intertwining with the Dispensation of the Grace.
And now, how many are in the Age of the Cornerstone? And how many are working in the Age of the Cornerstone, some less and others more? All of us. And who are the ones that will be adopted, changed, at this end time? Here we are, at this moment, there is a group of us here who will be changed. The rest are in different places here in the Mexican Republic and in different places in Latin America and the Caribbean; and there are also some in other nations, because God’s elect have reached other nations as well, and they are receiving the Word of God for our time and they are working in the Work of Christ of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Those are the ones who will be changed while they are living, without tasting death, and thus, we will have the new body; and those who will be resurrected are the believers in God from past ages who received the Word of God for their age and were in the Message of God that came through the messenger of their age.
Now, the most important thing for us is our time, our Message and the Work of Christ relevant to our time. A person may say: “Wesley was a servant of God, and I am going to work with Wesley’s age.” That sounds very nice, but that age already had its time and that age has already stopped working in the Work of God at this end time.
The only age in effect at this time is the Age of the Cornerstone, which will have the sons and daughters of God at the Last Day, who will be changed because they will be working in the business of our heavenly Father, of our Lord Jesus Christ relevant to this end time.
Do you see how simple the Divine Program for our adoption is? Do you see who are God’s elect of the Last Day, the ones who will be adopted?
Now notice, let us read a bit more about the things Reverend William Branham said. Page 130 of the book of Quotations, verse 1164, says14:
“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet,’ (in other words, the seventh) the sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord…”
What will the Seventh Trumpet be (in other words, the Last Trumpet, the Final Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet)? It will be the Coming of the Lord. What will the Seventh Seal be? It will be the Coming of the Lord. They are the same thing: the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal are the Coming of the Lord. It says:
“…It shall sound (that is, it will play), and the dead in Christ shall rise first.”
And on page 147 of this same book of Quotations…
The quote I just read from this page is an excerpt of the message “Broken Cisterns”; around page 33 to 35, we find everything Reverend William Branham said there.
And now, on page 149 of the book of Quotations, excerpt number 1333 (of the message “Ashamed,” preached in 1965), it says the following15:
“Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ Just resting till that time.”
Now, the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet (which is also the Seventh Seal) shall sound, which is the Coming of the Lord. And what does it do first? It calls and gathers together God’s elect; and when they are all there, then the dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be changed.
Now, let us see who is the Seventh Seal here.
Speaking to us about this cloud formed by angels, which appeared on February 28, 1963 above the Arizona skies, Reverend William Branham says this cloud was formed by angels. They are angels there in their theophanic bodies, who were captured in this photograph; but according to science, the appearance of that cloud was a mystery, because it appeared 26 miles high and 30 miles wide16</a>; and it was a mystery for it to appear in a place, at a height in which clouds cannot form because there is no moisture, and there were no airplanes or rockets flying near that place either; therefore, it was a mystery. And that mystery was made known by Reverend William Branham, when he said that they were angels of God and that he was taken up and was also placed in that cloud.
And now, let us see what he says about this cloud and about these angels who form this cloud. On page 469 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, he says17:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’”
Now notice, there is an Angel here who was different from the rest; He was strange to him. Here we have the seven angel messengers of the seven ages and we have the Angel who is different from the rest, which is this one.
If we turn the photo like this, we will see that these angels form the face of the Lord; and the Angel who is different from the rest is this Angel who is flying here, who forms the white hair of the Lord. And now, that is the Angel he speaks about. He says:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’”
Who was it? Which of the angels was the one who picked up, who lifted up the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ and put him in that cloud? He took him up in his theophanic body and put him in that cloud. It says:
“I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’ You remember that? [‘Amen.’]
Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal…”
And the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ.
These angels, notice, in order to have their ministries here on Earth, the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church came in human flesh; that theophanic spirit of God, from God, was manifested in them, that theophanic body inside of which they are in that cloud; and when these angels came in human flesh, each one had his ministry in the age in which he was given to live.
They are ministering angels sent by God to the heirs of salvation, which are the sons and daughters of God of the Church of Jesus Christ; those are the heirs of salvation. It is to the Church of Jesus Christ that He sends those ministering angels.
Saint Paul says in Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 14:
“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”
These ministering spirits (in other words, angels in their theophanic bodies) are sent forth to the heirs of salvation (in other words, to the Church of Jesus Christ, where God’s elect are found), and they are sent in human flesh, each one in the age in which he is given to live.
And we find that there are seven angel messengers for the seven ages, which are here, in this cloud, and they form the beard of the Lord; and there is an Angel who is different from the rest, who forms the white hair of the Lord here, of whom brother Branham says: “Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal.” And what is the Seventh Seal? The Second Coming of Christ with His Angels. He says:
“…the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant…”
Just as the angels of the seven ages had to come in human flesh in order to have their ministries, and for the Program of God for each age to be fulfilled in them and through them, this Angel with the Seventh Seal —in order for this Seventh Seal to be fulfilled on Earth— must come manifested in human flesh at the Last Day, and that will be the Word incarnate in a man.
That Angel must come manifested in human flesh, and there will only be one man on Earth in whom He can come manifested in human flesh; and that man must be a prophet; and that man is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone.
This Angel who was different from the rest will come in that man, manifested in human flesh, because that Angel is Christ coming in human flesh manifested in His Angel Messenger, at the Last Day, to fulfill the Seventh Seal, to fulfill His Coming with His Angels; and thus, to carry out His Reclaiming Work at the Last Day and bring His Last Message, the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Voice of Christ at the Last Day, making known to us all these things which must shortly be done at this end time in which we are living.
In Revelation, chapter 1, verses 10 to 11, John says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church at this Last Day (in other words, in the seventh millennium), speaking an urgent Message, speaking the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, and calling His elect and gathering them and preparing them to be changed and raptured at this end time.
And in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, it says:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
Now Christ, speaking to us here in Revelation, chapter 4, promises to make known to us the things which must shortly be done, at the Last Day.
And now, where will we go up to? We will go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, where Christ will be speaking to us with that Voice of Trumpet and making known to us all these things which must shortly be done, at this end time.
And in order to be able to speak to His Church, He must have a veil of flesh, a prophet in that age through whom He can manifest Himself and speak to His Church all these things which must shortly be done.
And who is that instrument He will have at the Last Day? That messenger appears in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6. It says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Who does He send? His Angel Messenger. What for? To show his servants the things which must shortly be done, because in that Angel Messenger comes Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Seventh Seal manifested, the Angel who was different from the rest, manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, making known to us through His Angel Messenger all these things which must shortly be done; and thus, He reveals to us the mystery of His Coming through His Angel Messenger, and that is how we hear the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming at this end time.
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.18”
Who has He sent to testify these things? His Angel Messenger. His Angel Messenger is the one sent by Christ to testify of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels at this end time. The Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ is the one who comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, testifying about the Seventh Seal, the Last Trumpet; he comes testifying about the mystery of the Coming of Christ with His Angels; in other words, he comes preaching the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, and in that Message, he comes preaching the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as the King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
And he comes revealing that mystery to all the sons and daughters of God so that we have the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit at the Last Day, through His Angel Messenger, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and therefore, so that we have the divine revelation of the mystery of the Seventh Seal, so that the Seventh Seal is open among us at this end time; and thus, we are able to receive the benefits of the Seventh Seal, which is the adoption of the sons and daughters of God.
Because it says19: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first (they will resurrect in incorruptible bodies). Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord”; because we will be changed and then we will leave this Earth along with the dead in Christ who will also resurrect and be in eternal bodies.
Now we can see this mystery of the Divine Program relevant to this end time for the adoption of the sons and daughters of God.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ADOPTION OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.”
See how there is a Divine Program appointed for this end time, for the Age of the Cornerstone and for the Dispensation of the Kingdom?, where God’s elect are placed in order to be prepared to be adopted, to be changed at this end time.
We have seen the mystery of THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ADOPTION OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
Soon we will be adopted, soon we will be changed; and while we wait for that moment, we will persevere serving Christ with all our soul, with all our heart and with all our mind and with all our strength, working in His Work all the days of our life, and living lives that please our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, keeping our garments washed in the Blood of Christ all the days of our life.
If someone has a shortcoming or makes a mistake, he confesses his shortcoming, his mistake or his sin to Christ and puts his sins in the Blood of Christ, because the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin20</a>; and the person is left as if he never sinned before.
And thus, we move forward without getting discouraged at any moment due to any problem or any shortcoming or mistake we may make as individuals, or any person may make. None of that can be a reason to discourage an elect of God who has a goal established and guaranteed, which is his adoption, which is the transformation of his body so that he may have an eternal body.
Never get discouraged in life, it does not matter what problems you may have in this earthly life; never get discouraged in life, it does not matter if the circumstances that surround your earthly life are against you, if your life is a struggle, a battle; it does not matter, do not be discouraged, continue onward; because when you are adopted, when you have the new body, all those problems will have ended, and you will be living in an eternal body with an eternal theophanic spirit inside of you; and then, we will leave this place, and we will live with Christ throughout eternity, and we will reign with Christ in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ and then, throughout eternity.
So, never get discouraged in life. Always be of good cheer and always say: “I will continue onward until I obtain my adoption. I will continue onward until I am changed at this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, because I am a firstborn of God and I am an elect of God ordained by God, predestined by God to be adopted at this Last Day.”
That is God’s revelation to you of who you are in the Program of God: you are an elect of God, a firstborn son or daughter of God; you are an elect of God ordained by God for eternal life, to be adopted at this Last Day in the Kingdom of God as a son or daughter of God with an eternal body, to live with Christ throughout eternity.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ADOPTION OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.” That has been our subject on this occasion.
May God bless all of you greatly with all the blessings of the Birthright, and soon, may we all be adopted, may we be changed, and have the new body that Christ has promised for each one of you and also for me. That is my desire and my prayer to God for you and for myself, with all my heart; and soon, may we all be changed. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
Remember that those who will be adopted are the ones who will be working in the Kingdom of God (in what?) in the heavenly Father’s business; because “I must be about my Father’s business,” and those will be all the sons and daughters of God from our age, in this end time.
Well, let us leave Miguel around here to continue and conclude our participation on this occasion.
May God bless you and keep you all.
