Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time, that is, the Last Day in which we are living.
For which I want to read in Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 39, where Jesus tells us the following:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Let us read up this verse and then we will read, later on, other verses of this same chapter 24 of Matthew.
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ELECT OF THE LAST DAY.”
Speaking about the elect of the Last Day, the Scripture shows us that there are people who live on this planet Earth who are elect of God, chosen of God since before the foundation of the world, whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world; of which Saint Paul says in Ephesians, chapter 1, verse 3 and on:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.”
Since when did God choose us? Since before the foundation of the world; we were chosen in Him, that is, in Christ; and we have been predestined in love, we have been predestined to be His adopted children, in other words, for us who are alive to be changed at the Last Day and the dead in Christ to be resurrected in immortal, incorruptible bodies, and thus obtain the physical immortality, and be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why Saint Paul tells us in Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 30, in the following manner:
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
In other words, for the day of the redemption of the body, where we will obtain the transformation of our body; and thus, we will obtain an eternal body, we which are alive at the Last Day and remain until the dead in Christ are resurrected in eternal bodies and also obtain the redemption of the body, which is the new body, where they will live for all eternity; and we will be changed and we will also obtain the new immortal and incorruptible body, to live with Christ for all eternity in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Notice, Saint Paul continues saying in his epistle to the Ephesians, in the same chapter 1, says…, verse 5 and on:
“Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”
Here we can see that we have obtained the firstfruits of the Spirit (which are the earnest of our inheritance), that is, the Spirit of Christ, when we have believed in Christ as our Savior and we have washed our sins in the Blood of Christ and we have received His Holy Spirit, of which Christ spoke to Nicodemus, telling him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again…” Let us see. John, chapter 3, verse 3 and on, says:
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
Now, notice how Christ shows Nicodemus that it is necessary to be born again in order to enter the Kingdom of God: be born of the Water and of the Spirit. Of the believers in Christ, while He was in His earthly ministry, none of them had been born again; but Christ promised that the Holy Spirit would come to them, to His believers, for what? To bring forth that new birth.
In John, chapter 14, verse 26, Jesus says:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
And in John, chapter 15, verse 26, also speaks to us of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ says:
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”
And in John, chapter 16, verses 12 to 15, says:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
Now, we can see that Jesus announced the Coming of the Holy Spirit, because through the Holy Spirit, which is the same Spirit that was in that veil of flesh called Jesus, the Spirit would come, the One that came on the Day of Pentecost, and has been coming upon every person who has believed in Christ as his Savior and has washed his sins in the Blood of Christ, and it has been coming to those people and He has been filling them of His Holy Spirit; in other words, they have been receiving the Spirit of Christ, and thus, therefore, they have been receiving the new birth.
And now, who are those people who obtain that new birth? They are the elect of God, the chosen of God, written in Heaven since before the foundation of the world, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ speaking to us of His sheep, told us in John, chapter 10, verse 14 to 16:
“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: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
Who will hear the Voice of Christ the Good Shepherd? His sheep, from age to age. Christ has said1: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
Now, how is it that the Voice of Christ will be heard by the sons and daughters of God? Notice, in John, chapter 8, verse 47, says: “He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” Says Christ to those people who did not want to hear Him.
Now, how is a child of God, a chosen of God, an elect of God, a firstborn of God identified? He is identified because he hears the Voice of God, the Voice of Jesus Christ, the Voice of the Good Shepherd.
And now, how will Jesus Christ be speaking and calling and gathering together His elect from age to age, since when He died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven He has not been seen on Earth anymore, ministering in the same body He had two thousand years? It is because Jesus Christ will be in Holy Spirit manifested in the midst of His Church anointing each one of His messengers from age to age; and through each one of His messengers, the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, will be speaking and calling and gathering together all His sheep in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Fold of the Lord, the Good Shepherd; that is where the sheep of the Lord will be gathered.
And they were gathered in the first age, in that first age, because they heard the Voice of Christ through Saint Paul; so it happened in the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh age; and so it is for our time, for this end time, in which the Voice of Jesus Christ will be speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 1 and verse 10.
And let us see this Great Voice of Trumpet, because it is with a Great Voice of Trumpet that the elect of God are called and gathered together at the Last Day. Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, 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 Jesus Christ at the Last Day (in other words, in the seventh millennium) speaking to His elect and making known to them all the things they need to know in order to comprehend the Divine Program relevant to the Last Day.
And now, let us see in Revelation, chapter 4, where we also have the Voice of Christ speaking with that Voice of Trumpet, and notice what it says here:
“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, where are we going to ascend to, since this is the Voice of Christ calling us and also inviting us to ascend to where He is? He was from age to age, in each age manifested in the messenger of each age, speaking to His people and calling and gathering together His elect in each age; but these ages have already passed; and now, after the things that have happened in these seven ages, come the things that must happen in the Age of the Cornerstone, because this is the age where Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit in human flesh, in His Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and through that prophet, He will be speaking to His Church all these things that must happen soon, at the Last Day, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now notice how Christ says: “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter”; in other words, after those that happened in the seven ages of the gentile Church.
And now, through whom will Jesus Christ be speaking to us and will be making known to us all these things that must happen soon? Because if He will be speaking, He must have an instrument, a messenger here on Earth, in the midst of the Church, to speak through him and make known to us these things that must happen soon; and with that Message, call and gather together all the elect of God of the Last Day (where?) in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
Now let us see through whom everything that must happen soon, at the end time, will be made known. In Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Who has He sent? His Angel Messenger. For what? To make known all these things that must happen soon, which Christ promised in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, that He would make known to us. Through this Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, which is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, is that He will be speaking to His Church, His children, to the elect of the Last Day; that is, He will be speaking in the seventh millennium all of these things that must happen soon.
In Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16, Christ also testifies of His Angel Messenger and says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
Who has Jesus Christ sent to testify of all these things that must happen soon, to testify of them in and to the churches? He says that He has sent His Angel Messenger.
It is the first occasion in which Jesus Christ sends a dispensational prophet messenger to His Church; He sends him to His Church with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message of 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 in His Reclaiming Work.
And now, with that Message, which contains the revelation of the Coming of the Lord as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ through His Angel Messenger speaks to His Church and makes known to her all these things that must happen soon, and He calls His elect in the Last Day with that Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet that revolves around the Second Coming of Christ.
With that Message is that all the elect of God are called and gathered together at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is where we obtain the knowledge of all these things that must happen soon, and that is where the gathering of all the elect of God is carried out with that Great Voice of Trumpet of which Christ spoke about in Matthew, chapter 24 and 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.”
His Angels are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Two Olive Trees and Two Candlesticks of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, and Zechariah, chapter 4. These are the ministries that were shown on Mount Transfiguration when Moses and Elijah appeared there2</a>; because they are the ministries of Moses and Elijah being repeated in the Last Day, in a man of this end time, who is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, calling and gathering together all the elect of God at this end time.
Now, we can see this mystery of the elect of God of the Last Day and their gathering, the call to them with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom through the ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah; the ministry of Moses for a second occasion manifested in a man of this time, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the ministry of Elijah manifested for a fifth occasion in a man of this time, which is the same Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the ministry of Jesus manifested for a second occasion in a man of this time, which is the same Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
For that reason is that John wanted to worship the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 9 to 10, and Revelation, chapter 22, verses 8 to 9, and the Angel told him not to do it. Let us read Revelation 22, verses 8 and on, where it says:
“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”
Now notice that this Angel of Jesus Christ is not the Lord Jesus Christ, although the Spirit of Jesus Christ is manifested in him operating the ministries of Moses for a second time, Elijah for a fifth time and Jesus for a second occasion; but even with all that, this angel messenger, this prophet messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom calling and gathering together all the elect of God; this is the Angel who comes at the Last Day with the Seal of the living God in Revelation, chapter 7, verse 2 and on, to call, gather together and seal 144,000 Hebrews as well. But first, he must call and gather the elect from among the gentiles, which are where? Who are on Earth among the gentiles, who, with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet that this Angel brings, thus, they are called and gathered and placed in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
Now we can see this mystery of the elect of God of the Last Day. And just as the elect of God of each one of the past ages were called and gathered, the elect of God of this Last Day are also called and gathered: Through the Voice of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in the Angel Messenger of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, we can see the mystery of the elect of God of the Last Day being called and gathered; and all of this is under the Seventh Seal. And the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Son of Man, the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, who appeared in this cloud formed by angels and of which the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said that he was different from the rest.
On page 469 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said, speaking of this Angel, said…
Remember that this cloud that appeared on February 28, 1963 above the Arizona skies contains eight angels here in their theophanic bodies forming that cloud. If we turn the photo to the right, we will see the face of Jesus Christ formed by this cloud of angels; and this Angel who was different from the rest is the one found here forming the white hair of the Lord; the other angels are here and form the beard of the Lord.
Now, this Angel who was different from the rest is the one who was different and caught the attention of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham; and he said about this Angel on page 469 of the book of The Seals in Spanish3:
“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.’
Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal, 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, for one time in life!”
Now, notice that the Angel who was different from the rest, who forms the white hair of the Lord in this photo, is the Angel who has the Seventh Seal.
For each angel messenger of each age, who are found here in this cloud (they are in their theophanic bodies), in order for them to have their ministries here on Earth they had to come in human flesh and be manifested in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and in order for this Angel who was different from the rest, which is the Angel who has the Seventh Seal, to fulfill the Seventh Seal here on Earth, He must come manifested in human flesh in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, in order for the Seventh Seal to be fulfilled, in order for the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels be fulfilled, and the ministries of Moses for a second time, Elijah for a fifth time and Jesus for a second time, be manifested in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But this Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ, although the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah will be manifested in him; but he will not be Jesus, nor Moses, nor Elijah, but rather he will be a man, a prophet of this time, anointed with the ministry of Jesus, Moses and Elijah at this end time, in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, manifested in human flesh at the Last Day, calling and gathering together His elect at this end time with that Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Now, we have seen what the Seventh Seal is, we have seen its mystery and we have seen who the elect of God of the Last Day are. “My sheep hear my Voice, and they follow me,” says Jesus Christ.
And being that it is the Voice of Jesus Christ the one that will be in that Angel who appears in the Last Day sent by Jesus Christ, of whom Jesus Christ says: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches”, that Angel, being the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone, he comes anointed by the Holy Spirit, he comes with the Seal of the living God; and the Holy Spirit comes manifesting these three great ministries in him: Jesus, Elijah and Moses; and thus, he comes calling and gathering together all His elect, and revealing to them this great mystery of this glorious manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, to call and gather together His elect and prepare us to be changed and raptured at this end time.
Where would the elect of God be called and gathered at the Last Day? In the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, which at the Last Day will be in the Golden Stage, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the Fold of the Lord, where He places His sheep from age to age; it is where He will place His sheep of this Last Day in which we are living. That is what the Great Voice of Trumpet comes for, the Voice of Christ, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom through the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, calling and gathering together all the elect of God; His elect from among the gentiles first, and then he will call and gather together the elect of God of the Hebrew people, which are 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 from each tribe, according to Revelation, chapter 7, verse 2 and on, and Revelation, chapter 14, verse 1 and on.
Now we can see the mystery of the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, who comes with the Holy Spirit manifested in him at this Last Day, in the seventh millennium, in the Day of the Lord, for the final call of the elect of God, for the call of the elect of God at the Last Day; and all of this is under the Seventh Seal, that is, under the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel Messenger at the Last Day.
This Angel is not the Lord Jesus Christ, but rather the Spirit of Jesus Christ will be in him operating the ministries of Moses, Jesus and Elijah at the Last Day. That is the mystery of the Angel of Jesus Christ and that is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, and that is the mystery of the Angel who was different from the rest, coming manifested in human flesh in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the call of the elect of God of the Last Day, to be placed in the Mystical Body of Christ and be prepared to be changed in this end time.
We have reached the time of the Seventh Seal and we have reached the time of the calling of God with the Great Voice of Trumpet to the elect of God at the Last Day.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ELECT OF THE LAST DAY.”
We have seen who the elect of the Last Day are; they are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ promised for the elect of God of the Last Day be materialized in each one of you and in me as well, and may we soon be transformed and have the eternal body; and thus obtain the redemption of the body by obtaining a new eternal body, according to the promise of God for the elect of the Last Day; and the dead in Christ be resurrected in eternal bodies, according to the promise of Christ for His elect who have departed for the Last Day; and those who are found in the Last Day with their bodies already dead, but who live in Paradise, in the sixth dimension, in the theophanic body: May they soon resurrect in the eternal body, according to the promise of Christ when He said: “I will raise him up at the last day.” In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
And where are the elect of God of the Last Day? Here we are, here we are in the Mexican Republic and in the different countries of Latin America and Caribbean hearing the call of the elect of God of the Great Voice of Trumpet, the call of the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and upon me as well, and may you all have a good evening. Thank you very much for your kind attention.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE ELECT OF THE LAST DAY.”
