Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are in different nations, ministers and churches. May the blessings of Christ be upon all of you, and may He open the Scriptures to us tonight and our understanding to comprehend. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
It is a great privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His corresponding Program for this end time; for which we read in Revelation and also in Matthew. Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on, and Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 31.
Matthew, chapter 24, verses 30 to 31, says:
“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.”
And Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on, tells us:
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET,” is our subject for this occasion.
Today, the first Saturday of the month of August… applying what is in the Word: that the day ends and the next day begins in the afternoon1. Therefore, Friday has already ended ⏤according to the Bible⏤ and Saturday has already begun; Saturday began this afternoon, at sunset; so it is already Saturday, in Biblical terms.
And therefore, for the Hebrew people, Saturday begins on Friday at sunset, and it ends on Saturday at sunset (on Saturday’s sunset). In other words, the Sabbath is between Friday’s sunset and Saturday’s sunset2, called the Day of the Lord3 for the Hebrew people; type and figure of the Messiah, who is the Sabbath or rest for the soul of the human being; and what Jesus said is fulfilled4: “All ye who labor and are heavy laden or tired, come to me and you will find rest, I will give you rest.”
It is for the end time that the Millennial Sabbath will also be fulfilled, which will be the seventh millennium from Adam to the present; a millennium of rest for the planet Earth and its inhabitants, a sabbath. Because “one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are as one day”; in other words, one day before God is a millennium for human beings, a thousand years. Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8; and Psalm 90, verse 4.
For the end time, for the Day of the Lord ⏤which for human beings will be the seventh millennium from Adam to the present⏤, that is when the Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet will be sounding for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and for the transformation of the believers in Christ who are alive.
That is why Christ pointed out in John, chapter 6, verses 39 and on, 39 to 40, and in chapter 6, from 41 to 58: that whosoever believes in Him, He will give unto him everlasting life and will raise him up at the Last Day; the Last Day before God, which for the human beings is the seventh millennium from Adam to the present.
The last days are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium; and out of the three last days, the final one (the last one) is the seventh millennium.
That is why God has been pouring out His Spirit according to Joel, chapter 2; and the book of Acts, chapter 2; and also Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, which tells us that in these last days God has spoken through the Son (in other words, through Jesus Christ), and that in the last days He would pour of His Spirit upon all flesh, in other words, the last days before God, which for the human beings are the fifth millennium…
Where, Christ, at the beginning of that fifth millennium, had His ministry of three and a half years, which began when He was about 30 years old; and on the Day of Pentecost He poured out His Holy Spirit upon 120 believers in Him; and since then He has continued pouring His Spirit and producing the new birth in all those who receive Him as only and sufficient Savior. And He still continues calling and gathering His chosen ones who would form His Mystical Body of believers, in other words, His Fold, His Church, and producing in them the new birth.
The Coming of the Lord has been promised for the Last Day, to bring with Him those who died, believers in Him who are in Paradise, and to resurrect them in glorified, immortal and young bodies for all eternity; and for those who are alive, believers in Him: He will transform them; so that they all may have a glorified body like the one Jesus Christ has: immortal and young for all of eternity.
The promise is that the Trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ will resurrect first, and then those of us who are alive will be transformed (First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58); and that is when physical death will end for the believers in Christ.
It is at the Last Trumpet, that Great Voice of Trumpet with which all the elect of God at the Last Day will be called and gathered in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, to form the part of the Church for the end time; that is the Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet, that is the Trumpet of God.
When God speaks, He is heard and represented in the sound of a trumpet; that is why in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, it tells us:
“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…”
In other words, that Voice like a trumpet is the Voice of the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, who is our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the fullness of God dwelt, dwells, and will dwell eternally.
And now, the Voice of Trumpet is the Voice of God through Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, speaking to His Church in the Last Day, just as He spoke to Her from stage to stage since the days of the apostles to the present. In other words, it is not a literal trumpet, but rather the Voice of God through Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, speaking to His Church.
In First Corinthians, chapter 14, verse 8, Saint Paul tells us:
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?”
In other words, that trumpet must be giving the sound of the Message of God for the time in which that Trumpet of God is sounding, the Voice of God through Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church.
If it doesn’t give a certain sound, then it shows that it is not giving the true Message of God, the one that corresponds to the time of the Trumpet: the Voice of God speaking to His Church.
The manifestation of the Angels of the Son of Man with the Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering the elect, the Jews, is the Voice of God through the ministries of Moses and Elijah calling and gathering one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand from each tribe, which also appear in chapter 7 of Revelation, and which also appear in chapter 14, verse 1 and on, of Revelation or Apocalypse.
That is the Seventh Trumpet: Moses and Elijah, the ministries of Moses and Elijah being repeated at the end time to call and gather one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand from each tribe.
And the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, speaking to Her with the Great Voice of Trumpet that Saint Paul speaks of in First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58, because it says: “At the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected first, and then those of us who are alive will be changed.” The Final Trumpet, the Final Message of God speaking to His Church.
And it is a correct, true, promised Message for the Last Day, which the believers in Christ will be hearing, those who will be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The Seventh Trumpet, that sounds to call and gather the elect of God for His Church; and the Great Voice of Trumpet, which the ministries of Moses and Elijah come with to call and gather one hundred and forty-four thousand chosen, twelve thousand from each tribe.
Those who are called with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Angels of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31 are Jews.
And in Revelation, chapter 14, verses 15 and on, we also find the messenger with the Seventh Trumpet, sounding it; and that will be the sign for the end of the kingdom of the gentiles, the sign for the great tribulation, where the Bible tells us in Revelation, chapter 11, verses 15 and on:
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
That is God’s wrath coming upon the human race. Therefore, we must be prepared for the Coming of the Lord, for the opening of the Seventh Seal, which is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of Christ to His Church to resurrect the dead believers in Him and transform those who will be alive.
The entire call for the elect of the Mystical Body of Christ to be prepared for the Coming of the Lord and to be changed, takes place before the opening of the Seventh Seal; and before the opening of the Seventh Seal the calling of the Jews also takes place.
The calling for the Jews is between the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal. Of which Reverend William Branham says in different messages… on page 111 of the book of Quotations, which is a book of abstracts from the messages of the Reverend William Branham, it says:
“Under the Seventh Trumpet is to Israel the same as the Seventh Seal was to the Church.”
And then… That was in paragraph 1143, page 111. And on page 112 of this same book of Quotations, in paragraph 1150, says5:
“Now, as soon as this Church (the Bride) is drawed together… and that mystery of the Seventh Seal or the Seventh Seal, the mystery of going. And the Jews is called by the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet, which is two prophets, Elijah and Moses.”
What is the Seventh Trumpet? Moses and Elijah. And the Seventh Seal is Christ in His Coming to His Church. In other words, the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet is Moses and Elijah and the mystery of the Seventh Seal is the Coming of Christ.
On page 113, paragraph 1164, it says6:
“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.’”
And on page 129, paragraph 1333, it says7:
“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.”
There is a parallel, a relevance between the Seventh Seal and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Coming of the Lord to His Church to resurrect the dead believers in Him from past ages who departed; and also those who have departed from our time, believers in Him: resurrect them eternal and immortal, glorified, and young bodies; and to change those of us who are alive. That will be the purpose of the Coming of Christ with His Church; and to take them with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. That is in Philippians, in chapter 3, verses 20 to 21, which says, Saint Paul says:
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:”
From where do we look for the Savior? From Heaven. He is in the seventh dimension, the dimension of God, making intercession as High Priest in the heavenly Temple.
“…who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
What is He coming for? Why are we awaiting Him? For our transformation. To change us and to take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And for what do the Two Olive Trees come, the ministries of Moses and Elijah? To call and gather one hundred and forty-four thousand chosen from the twelve tribes of Israel, twelve thousand from each tribe. They will go through the great tribulation, the one hundred and forty-four thousand Hebrews chosen of God, who will be the eunuchs in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ who will be helping, working with Christ and His Church, and for Christ and His Church, for the King and the Queen.
We are in the time in which the Seventh Seal will be opened; but the calling for the Church: to be prepared to receive the opening of the Seventh Seal, and therefore to receive Christ in His Coming to obtain the transformation and the rapture or catching away; and for the Seventh Trumpet to sound for Israel, the Voice of God to speak to Israel, call them and gather them in this end time.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET.”
What the Seventh Seal is for the Church, the Seventh Trumpet is for Israel. And the Sixth Seal for the Jews is Moses and Elijah, the ministries of Moses and Elijah: that is the Sixth Seal for Israel. And the Seventh Seal for the Church is the Coming of the Lord as King.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET.”
It has been a great blessing and privilege for me to be with you on this occasion.
We will see each other on Sunday, God willing, in the morning, to have our Bible study titled: “THE SPIRITUAL FOOD IN EACH TIME.” “Because man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Deuteronomy, chapter 8, verse 1 to 3; and also Amos, chapter 8, verse 11 to 12; and Matthew, chapter 4, and Luke, chapter 4, where Jesus said: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
May God continue blessing you all; and pray much for next Sunday’s Bible school and Bible study; and also pray so that this bad weather doesn’t harm Puerto Rico. That just like God has delivered Puerto Rico on other occasions, may He also deliver it on this occasion; and that which is announced rather be beneficial: by bringing water, which Puerto Rico needs so much, so that we do not have water rationing these days.
May God bless you and keep you, and continue having a happy evening, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. And those who have to go shopping, you still have time to go shopping.
Whenever bad weather is announced, storms, one thing is always hot chocolate and cookies (at least); and some go through the bad weather drinking hot chocolate and cookies, and some with butter and cheese as well; because hardly anyone sleeps during the night when storms are announced, and we feel the winds striking the homes of families.
Well, may God help us all, and follow all the precautions that have been given by the Civil Defense and other government agencies. During times of storms, when there is a storm, we do not leave our homes; we pay attention to the news. And if we need to open a window that’s on the opposite side of the storm, we open it so that too much pressure does not build up inside the house; and we have to be awake and alert for that. We don’t open all the windows, but only the ones on the opposite side of where the storm is hitting.
If it is hitting on this side, we open the windows a bit on the other side; and then when the storm has come around that first side, then comes the other form, the storm, the other part of the storm, the other half, and these windows are closed and some of the windows on the other side are opened so that the pressure doesn’t build up inside the house and affect the people inside or break the glasses of the homes or the different types of windows that houses have.
Well, take the necessary precautions. And if nothing happens, well, thank God, but we take precautions. They say people don’t die in forewarned wars; it’s a saying, but many times it becomes a reality, when people are warned and they avoid danger.
Well, may God bless you and keep you all, and until next Sunday in the morning, God willing.
Continue having a happy evening, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. I leave you with Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez, and in each country I leave the corresponding minister. And greetings to Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin and his wife Ruth, and to all the ministers and churches.
