Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present; it is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion to share with you some moments of fellowship around the Word of God, the Divine Program relevant to this end time, and thus see in the Divine Program the time in which we were granted to live.
Now let us go to the Word of God, to thus see our subject of this morning… Before, also receive greetings of all the brethren and congregations of all the countries of Latin America: Mexico, Republic of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica also and Panama (the places we were at in this trip).
God continues to add those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and in each trip we make, we find that God has raised more and more congregations, because God is calling and gathering His elect at this end time to complete the number of His Church in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and then the door closes, as it says in the parable of the ten virgins: that the door was closed at a certain time, but the wise virgins were already inside, and they were inside with the Bridegroom.
Now, let us see, our subject for this morning is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE THREE WITNESSES.”
For which let us read in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 5; and let us also read in Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on. Let us begin in chapter 1,verse 4 and on; it says:
“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
And in Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, it 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.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion, as I said, is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE THREE WITNESSES.”
We find in chapter 35 of Numbers, verse 30 to 34, where it says:
“Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.”
This prophecy or this Word shows us that the murderer will die because he shed blood on the land, but he will not die without witnesses; and only one witness will not testify in order for the murderer to die; two or three witnesses are required.
Deuteronomy, chapter 17, verse 6, let us see what God tells us there. Chapter 17, verse 6 says:
“At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.”
Now, notice how here, when God speaks of the divine judgment to fall upon the murderer, and for any person who is worthy of death in the midst of the Hebrew people, according to the Law of Moses, two or three witnesses were required to testify of what had happened; and those two or three witnesses, notice, would be speaking about what had happened. And according to the Law of Moses, being there two or three true witnesses, then the judgment of death would fall upon that person.
The blood…, notice, the land was contaminated when a person was murdered. When a person was murdered by another person, the land, notice, opened its mouth, her insides, to receive the blood of that person; and the blood of that person cried out to God from the land, just as it says in Genesis, that the blood of Abel cried out to God. That is in, let us see, chapter 4 of Genesis. Here we have the first case, chapter 4, verse 3 and on, it says:
“And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch (and there follows the descendants of Cain).”
Now notice how the blood of Abel, which Cain shed upon the land, cried out to God from the land; and therefore the divine judgment came upon Cain, the curse of God came for Cain. God says in the curse He spoke to him:
“And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.”
And now, notice how throughout Leviticus and Numbers… In Numbers we find that the land, it says it will be atoned by the blood of the one who shed blood, that is, by the one who murdered another person dying is that the land is atoned. And it is this way for people, for nations, for peoples; and it is also applicable to, even, religious groups; and it is applicable in the midst of the Hebrew people.
That is why you will see, throughout the Bible, that not that many nations, peoples and tongues, and even religions, will not enter for the Millennial Kingdom and for eternity; and there will only be one faith, only one revelation, only one teaching. And the Scripture says in Zechariah, chapter 14 and verse 9:
“And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.”
We find that we will only have one teaching in the Millennial Kingdom; and that one teaching will come from Jerusalem, the Throne of the Messiah, for the entire Hebrew people and for all nations. And “in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one”; in other words, there will only be one teaching from one God.
Now we can see what will be the teaching of the Only true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who appeared to different prophets (such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and the rest of the prophets) as the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant, and who later became flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people and His veil of flesh was known by the name of Jesus.
There was the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Word who was with God and was God, who became flesh: “And that Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” And notice how He dwelt among the human race, among the human beings, in the midst of the Hebrew people.
That is where He became a man, where He dressed Himself of human flesh, the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who is a man of the sixth dimension in whom God is inside that theophanic body of the sixth dimension, dressed Himself of a man of this dimension; and then by creating Himself a physical body of this dimension, which was called Jesus, there He dwelt in all His fullness.
He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God became a man and dwelt among the human beings, He made Himself flesh. That is the greatest mystery of the First Coming of Christ: He was God Himself dressed in human flesh.
The Word that was with God and was God and who created all things, the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, God in and with His theophanic body, then made Himself a body of flesh and dwelt among the human beings. That was the way in which Eve had to bring her first son to Earth. The way it occurred in the virgin Mary was the way that it had to happen in Eve, but Eve got ahead of herself.
And now, notice how through this manifestation of God in human flesh the Redemption was carried out on Calvary’s Cross. For the time of Jesus all promises, prophecies, of the First Coming of Christ were being fulfilled.
While Christ was moving forward in His life, He was fulfilling scriptures; even since before being born: when the Archangel Gabriel visited the virgin Mary, scriptures were already being fulfilled there; because the prophet Isaiah said that a virgin would conceive and would give birth1</a>; and when the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary, well the scripture was being fulfilled there, because there was the virgin promised by God through prophet Isaiah, who would conceive and would give birth to a boy and would name him Emmanuel.
Any person can say: “But the boy who was born of that virgin was not named Emmanuel, his name was Jesus; that cannot be the child.” It is that we must understand that the name Jesus, notice, covers all those meanings.
Emmanuel means: God with us, and Jesus is God with us; in other words, all of the meanings of the compound names relevant to the First Coming of Christ were being fulfilled in that name. And all of the compound names for the Second Coming of Christ will be fulfilled with and in the name relevant to the Second Coming of Christ.
And now, notice how as time went by we find that, for example, when the first Elijah came his name was Elijah the Tishbite, when the second Elijah came his name was Elisha. See? Almost the same name, but not exactly the same name; similar. Then when the third one came his name was John: now it looks very different.
But when John came as forerunner, that One who he prepared the way for, his name also started with the same letter. Now, notice how it was similar in the beginning, in the first letter (this is speaking in our terms here, in Spanish; in English too), but it was not the same name, but it had the first letter.
Then, the fourth Elijah comes and now his name was not Elijah, but the ministry is Elijah (and now, the name of the veil of flesh is always the name they are given when the veil of flesh is born); and he foreruns the Second Coming of Christ.
The name to be revealed to the elect of God will be in the Second Coming of Christ; and the forerunner may have one letter, two letters, three letters, or the letters there may be, according to the Program of God.
Now, the name, notice, is one thing, and the last name is another thing.
Elijah’s last name may have been Tishbite; because most of the time the last names were given, most of the time, according to the place in which they lived. And Jesus was named Jesus of Nazareth, because He was raised in Nazareth; if He would have been raised in Bethlehem well it would be Jesus of Bethlehem of Judea.
Regarding last names, it was later on that last names were in a more… in legal terms; but before, almost no one knew a person by name and last name, but by the name, and to make reference to that person well they used the village or city where they came from; and if they wanted to use a second last name, well then they used the religion, for example, Jesus of Nazareth of Galilee or Galilean.
And now, notice how in those times they did it that way, but the name is always the name the person was given when they were born. Like our brother Branham says: “I am a Branham by family, but when I was born they named me: William.” That is the name. Branham is the last name.
And now notice how, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, you can see how God speaks of a name. For example, when He spoke of the name of the Messiah for the First Coming, He said He would be Emmanuel. And the entire world, maybe, thought: “When the Messiah comes, the name will be Emmanuel.” And when Jesus appeared, and His disciples said that He was the Messiah, some who did not have even have the minimum amount of common sense ⏤in spiritual terms⏤, of spiritual knowledge, but rather they were legalists, they said: “Uh-uh! Isaiah says that His Name is Emmanuel, and this one’s name is Jesus. This one in any moment, no where in the Bible is it promised that the name of the Messiah will be Jesus.” But look, Jesus means ‘Savior’, ‘Redeemer.’
And now, those who held on literally to the letter, what Saint Paul said happened to them: “For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.2” The Spirit is the one that gives it life, the one who brings life to that letter. And when He brought life to that letter: Emmanuel was Jesus. Emmanuel is Jesus. God with us is Jesus. Everlasting Father is Jesus. Prince of Peace is Jesus.
Notice, all of those compound names or names given for the First Coming of the Messiah and for the Second Coming of the Messiah, are names that have a meaning; and that meaning is fulfilled in the name that the Messiah brings in His First Coming and then in the one He brings in His Second Coming.
Because for His First Coming His name would be Jesus, and no one knew. And for His Second Coming, He says: “I will write upon him (the overcomer) the Name of my God…” Let us see how it says it. Chapter 3, verse 12, of Revelation, says:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God…”
And if He is going to write the Name of our God, if we look for it in Exodus, chapter 3, verses 13 and on, 13 to 14, says:
“And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.”
Now, here: I am… “You will say: I Am sent me to you…” Now, this which says here: I Am as the Name of God, in what was spoken to Moses, are four consonants that in Hebrew or Aramaic or whichever, are YHWH. In Greek, well “Y” is “J”, and that is why the name of the Messiah in Greek in His First Coming is Jesus, but in Hebrew it is Yehoshua or Joshua.
And now notice, the one who worked with Moses as Moses’ servant had that name.
Moses was, notice, the one who had Oshea, which is Joshua, who later introduced the people to the promised land. And our Joshua, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit manifested in His First Coming in human flesh, in the veil of flesh called Jesus, is the one who introduced us to the promised land of the new theophanic body of the sixth dimension, by believing in Christ and washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit.
This has all been possible by the Work of Redemption carried out by our Joshua; because the name Jesus in Greek is Joshua in Hebrew, Yehoshua.
And notice how on different occasions Jesus also said: I Am. Each time He said: “I am the living bread that has descended from heaven…”, every time He used the I Am, there we have Him as the I Am who appeared to Moses.
When they were going to take Him prisoner there on Mount Olive, we find that He asks: “Who do you seek?” And they tell Him: “Jesus.” And He tells them: “I Am.” There He is using the I Am here in the Old Testament, identifying Himself as the I Am of the Old Testament; and it says that they fell to the ground, all those who came fell seated to the ground, by Him only speaking.3
And now, notice how the I Am, which is the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, God Himself in His theophanic body, says in chapter 23 of Exodus, verse 20 and on:
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
The Name of God is placed where? In the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, which is the Word, the Angel of the Lord who appeared to the prophets of the Old Testament on different occasions; He appeared to Moses, and it was the Lord Himself in His theophanic body. And for that reason, the Name of God was where? In that Angel, that Angel of the sixth dimension.
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.”
Now notice how by following that Angel and hearing the voice of that Angel was to be following God and hearing the Voice of God; because it was the manifestation of God through His theophanic body called the Angel of the Lord or Angel of the Covenant.
And then He sent John the Baptist as forerunner; and then He Himself came dressed in human flesh, and the veil of flesh was named Jesus. There was the Name for Redemption, name which meant ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer.’
And all of the compound names given to God in the Old Testament, Jehovah-Savior, Jehovah-nissi, Jehovah-shammah, all of those compound names were fulfilled in Him because the Lord was there present; Jehovah there as the flag, Jehovah-Healer, Jehovah-Savior</em>; all of that was in Jesus; because it was the manifestation of God in human flesh.
God with His theophanic body was inside that veil of flesh; and therefore, the name that was placed in that veil of flesh, by Mary and Joseph (but the revelation of that name they would give the child came to Mary, because the Archangel Gabriel gave it to her)… Now, notice, that was the Name of God for that manifestation in human flesh, to carry out the Work of Redemption, to thus produce the new birth in the sixth dimension, in the Kingdom of God, in the Mystical Body of Christ, of millions of sons and daughters of God.
Because with the natural birth we have obtained through our earthly parents we have not been born in the Kingdom of God, but rather in this earthly kingdom; but we have been born in the Kingdom of God by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit.
And now notice how with the Name of Christ in His First Coming He takes us to the promised land of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, He takes us to the promised land of the new theophanic body and of that sixth dimension. That is how we are placed in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; we are placed in the sixth dimension, although our physical body is in this dimension; but our theophanic spirit is of the sixth dimension.
And now we are in this dimension, but we are also in the sixth dimension through our theophanic spirit; and we are in the Kingdom of the Heavens, the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now notice how the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, although the physical bodies of the members of His Church are here on Earth, His Church belongs to the sixth dimension, and it is a Work of Divine Creation the one that God is carrying out.
And in that Work of Divine Creation, notice, Jesus Christ is the first one; because before He was here on Earth in a physical body, He was in His theophanic body for thousands or millions of years, and He was the one who created the entire universe; and now He is carrying our a Creation of a New Race, of which He is the first one.
And just as He came to Earth with physical eternal life, just as He had eternal life in His theophanic spirit and in His soul: now each son and daughter of God in has eternal life in their soul; in their theophanic spirit well they have eternal life if they have received Christ as their Savior, washed their sins in the Blood of Christ and received His Holy Spirit; and at the Last Day or seventh millennium or Day of the Lord, when the dead in Christ resurrect, they will resurrect in an eternal body and they will also have physical eternal life, and us who are alive will be changed and we will have eternal physical life as well.
Now, in order to obtain that second part, which is the eternal body, the Scripture says that the Second Coming of the Lord will come into effect and that He will descend from Heaven with Acclamation, with Voice of Archangel and with Trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will resurrect first, and then us who are alive will be what? Transformed.
The Second Coming of Christ is the only hope for the Church of Jesus Christ at this Last Day, in order to obtain the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive. And that new name that He said He received will be in the Second Coming of Christ.
Let us see if He has a new name. It says in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12, says:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
Does He say He has a new name? He says that He has a new name. He obtained it when He died, resurrected and ascended to heaven victoriously; and that is the Name for the Second Coming; in other words, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ would not be that simple.
If some people back then were expecting Him as Emmanuel, that His name would be called Emmanuel, how are many people expecting Him now? “He must appear and He must come with the name Jesus.” That is what everyone in Christianity is normally expecting; but He says that He has a new name.
And will He come with the new name or will He come with the name He used in His First Coming? Let us see what the Scripture tells us.
The Coming of the Stone not cut by hands, that prophet Daniel saw in chapter 2 when he interpreted the dream of king Nebuchadnezzar, of that statue with the head of gold, arms and breast of silver, the belly and thighs of bronze, and the legs of iron and feet of iron and clay (which represents the kingdom of the gentiles, the empire of the gentiles from Nebuchadnezzar until this Last Day); notice, we find that when that Stone not cut by hands came two thousand years ago, the image (that is, the kingdom of the gentiles) was in the legs of iron, in other words, in the empire of the Caesars, the Roman empire.
And for the Last Day He will come in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, which is the same stage of the Roman empire, the same fourth stage, but the fourth stage of the empire of the gentiles has two parts: one was already fulfilled, and the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in the first part of the fourth empire, and the Second Coming of Christ is to be fulfilled in the second part of the fourth empire of the gentiles.
And now, for the end time, the kingdom of the gentiles would be where? In the feet of iron and clay. And being in the feet of iron and clay is that this prophecy of Revelation, chapter 17, verse 13 to 14, which here are the feet of iron and clay, it says… Let us start, let us see where here, so you have a clear picture… Chapter 17, verse 11 and on, says:
“And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
And now notice how that impact comes among “the feet of iron and clay” with “the stone not cut by hands.” There we see that that phase comes, and it says there: “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Now notice how it is that stone not cut by hands makes the same impact against the feet of iron and clay; it is there in that phase.
And now look, that Stone as it was seen by prophet Daniel: “a stone from the mountain,” if it is the Stone that represents the Second Coming of Christ, the mountain is the Mount of God, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Cornerstone is cut from there, the Headstone, the Second Coming of Christ.
Just like the First Coming of Christ, the Stone not cut by hands in His First Coming, the Stone that the builders rejected, was cut from where? From among the Hebrew people. A man born in Bethlehem of Judea: that was the Stone not cut by hands, the Stone that the builders rejected, and has come to be the head stone, according to the prophecy.4
And now, just as the Cornerstone was cut out from the earthly Israel in His First Coming, the Cornerstone in His Second Coming is cut out from the heavenly Israel, from that Mountain of God; because a mountain represents a kingdom. And that Stone is cut out from the Kingdom of God, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, not by human hand, but rather of God. In Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17, it says:
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
That little stone is the Second Coming of Christ with a new name; and the hidden manna is the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ, the revelation of the Coming of that little white Stone with that new name; that is the revelation of Jesus Christ for the Dispensation of the Kingdom and for all of eternity, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ with a new name to carry out the Work relevant to the Last Day, and take His Church to the promised land of the new physical and eternal and glorified body, and then take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and then bring us back to Earth to the great Millennial Kingdom, the promised land of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
Now we can see everything that the promised land entails. And we can see who is the One who takes us to the promised land: it is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who appeared to prophet Moses and brought the Hebrew people out of the land of bondage there in Egypt, delivered them and took them to the promised land, to the land of Israel.
We find that through Joshua, which represents or means ‘Savior’ or ‘Redeemer’, he introduced the Hebrew people to the promised land. And through the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord in His First Coming, which is our Joshua, He introduced the sons and daughters of God to the promised land of the new body, of the theophanic body of the sixth dimension, in other words, He introduced us to the sixth dimension, to that promised land; and that is why if our physical body dies, what happens? Well, we continue living in the sixth dimension in our theophanic body.
But we also have the promise that we will be introduced into the promised land of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ; but for that, we need a glorified and eternal physical body, which He will give us at the Last Day, in His Second Coming. Because His Second Coming is to call and gather together His elect, and give us the faith to be changed and raptured; and thus have the eternal body, be able to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, and then return to Earth for the glorious Millennial Kingdom, after the great tribulation passes.
Now, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ is the greatest mystery of all the divine mysteries, and it is the only major mystery that had not been revealed to the human race, but that would be revealed in this Last Day.
And all the rest of God’s mysteries relevant to this end time are tied to that mystery of the Second Coming of Christ: such as the New Name of the Lord in His Second Coming, such as the new dispensation, as well as a new eternal age, a new age which is eternal, also a new dispensational Message: the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; a new dispensational messenger: the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with the Gospel of the Kingdom; a new people to enter that new age and that new dispensation.
Just as Christ had sons and daughters in different ages, through His manifestation in the messenger of each age; and through His creative Word, notice, Christ brought those children to each one of those ages, and brought forth that new birth in them, and thus they entered into the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ; notice, it is the same way at this end time.
Now, among the gentiles, there was a territory in each one of the ages, and there were continents in which more than one age was fulfilled. In the continent, let us see, the first age of the Church of Jesus Christ was fulfilled among the gentiles in Asia Minor, in which God called and gathered together His elect through Saint Paul; then, the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth ages followed, in different European nations; and God called and gathered together His elect in those ages and in the times pertaining to those ages. Notice how there were five ages being fulfilled there in Europe.
And then, He goes on to the American Continent, where the seventh age of the gentile Church was fulfilled. And after the seventh age of the gentile Church was fulfilled in the American Continent, in the northern part, in North America, now, for the Age of the Cornerstone He goes down to Central America, South America and the Caribbean, to fulfill the Age of the Cornerstone.
In other words, two ages are fulfilled in the American Continent: the seventh age of the gentile Church in North America, and the Age of the Cornerstone in Central America, South America and the Caribbean; and that is the part that has been granted to us at this Last Day; and it is the best part of the Program of God in His Church, because it is the part relevant to the greatest blessing of Jesus Christ for His Church. It is the stage or Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ; and therefore, it is the Golden Age of Latin America and the Caribbean, if they take advantage of that blessing there is in the Age of the Cornerstone.
For the rest of the nations, we find that the time of redemption for those nations already passed; because the age that had to be fulfilled in them already passed, and that was the time when God called the people and those nations to repentance, in those territories.
And now, for this Last Day, God will call the world to judgment; and that is why two or three witnesses are required, because the blood that has been shed upon the land cries unto God from the ground; and nations, peoples and tongues who have shed the blood of people on land, now, at this end time, the time has come for them to answer to God; and there will be two or three witnesses on Earth who will be testifying in the divine judgment for God to determine the divine judgment that will fall upon the Earth.
In the time of Abraham and Lot, notice, there were three witnesses on Earth, who came down from Heaven: Elohim, Gabriel and Michael. And Elohim said to Abraham: “I have come down for a purpose.” He had not revealed it to Abraham yet. Abraham thought it was only to eat with him and to discern Sarah’s heart, and speak to him about the promise of the promised son, which was very good, and that was the blessing for Abraham; but He had also come down for the divine judgment pertaining to Sodom and Gomorrah.5
And for the Church of Jesus Christ, the purpose is the Coming of the promised Son and the blessings He brings for His Church. But in this trial investigation, notice, chapter 18 and verse 16 and on, says [Genesis]:
“And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way (in other words, they stood up from where they were eating and they looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah; Elohim, Gabriel and Michael were walking towards Sodom and Gomorrah in the form of men; they had been temporarily materialized, and Abraham was with them).
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.”
What do we do so that God fulfills what He has promised? After believing it with all our soul, then fulfilling all the divine precepts, living according to His Word.
“And the Lord said (to Abraham), Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
I will go down now (notice, it had reached God), and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord (because Elohim, the Lord, had stayed with Abraham).”
Notice, Elohim was the Lord Himself, the Angel of the Covenant, who had materialized Himself before Abraham, and Gabriel and Michael, too.
Gabriel and Michael went to Sodom and Gomorrah; but Elohim, the Lord, had remained with Abraham, talking, and He was going to reveal to him even more about what was going to be happening; because notice, the revelation would come to whom? To the prophet. Since Abraham was the prophet of the Dispensation of Promise, the revelation of what was going to take place there was being made known to Abraham; and Abraham was the only one who could pray, intercede for those territories and for the people who lived in those territories.
Abraham interceded for the territory and also for his nephew Lot; he only obtained mercy from God for Lot and his family. Why? Because there were not even ten righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah, and therefore, how were the sins of those people? They were exposed before God; they were not covered by the sacrifices that Abraham carried out and that Lot carried out; and now the divine judgment would come upon those nations.
From age to age, the Blood of the Sacrifice of Christ has been manifested in every age. When God has looked at the Earth, He has seen the human race through the Blood of Christ, and for that reason the divine judgment has not fallen upon the human race completely or definitively, but rather partially.
After an age has ended, what has happened? That age has been left without the Blood of Christ once the age has ended; and those who did not believe during the time of that age, have received the divine judgment. That is how it has been from age to age.
But what happens now? We have all the remnant of the seven ages outside the Blood of Christ. The Blood of Christ is manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone; and therefore, now the divine judgment has to fall upon all that is left of the seventh age of the gentile Church and upon all those who did not believe during the time God gave them in the seventh age of the gentile Church.
And since that divine judgment will be worldwide and it will be full, then it will also cover every territory that pertains to Christ’s journey throughout the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church; and that is why there will be more than one witness on the Earth.
And now, we have the faithful and true Witness, which is Jesus Christ; therefore, His ministry has to be here on Earth. And we have the ministries of the Two Olive Trees (of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, and Zechariah, chapter 4, verse 1 to 14), and those are the ministries of the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the presence of God, represented in the two cherubim of gold who are on the mercy seat, and they are also represented in the two cherubim of gold but that are olive wood on the inside, those two giant cherubim of olive wood covered with gold, which Solomon placed in the temple he built there in Jerusalem.
Now notice, those are the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the presence of God, where the presence of God is, in the Most Holy Place. And over in Heaven, well, they are Gabriel and Michael; and here on Earth, in the Temple of Jesus Christ, they are the ministries of Moses and Elijah in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And the Ministry of Jesus… Notice, on the mercy seat, there was a cherub on one side, another cherub on the other side, and the presence of God, the Angel of the Covenant, was there upon the mercy seat. On Mount Transfiguration, we find Jesus with His face as the sun, His vestures shining as the light, and Moses on one side and Elijah on the other side: that is the Mercy Seat with one on each side, and Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, in the center.
And at the Last Day, we will have the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; it is the same thing: Moses, Elijah and Jesus; the ministry of Moses, the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Jesus. These are the ministries that will be manifested at the Last Day in human flesh in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel Messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man; as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said in the message of The Seals, page 256 in Spanish, when he spoke about the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, he said6:
“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.”
If we find that man, we will find Moses, Elijah and Jesus; in other words, we will find the ministry of Moses, the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Jesus manifested in human flesh in that man.
But that man is not the Lord Jesus Christ. When John tried to worship him, John the apostle (in Revelation, chapter 19, verse 9 to 10, and in Revelation, chapter 22, verses 8 to 9), the Angel told him not to do it, because he is a servant, a fellow servant of John and of the prophets; he told him: “Worship God.”
Now we can see this mystery of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, in His theophanic body, who came in human flesh two thousand years ago and was known by the name of Jesus; and for the Last Day, He will come veiled in human flesh and revealed through human flesh; and He will come with His Angels, He will come with the ministries of Moses, Elijah and the ministry of Jesus will be manifested as well.
The Angel of the Covenant will come with the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus, because He is the only one who has ministries and He is the only one who has manifested ministries here on Earth through human flesh, through His prophets.
It is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord to Earth in human flesh again at the Last Day. And He will come with a New Name, and He will come with a new veil of flesh too; because “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.”
That is the mystery of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, and of the Coming of the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven. That Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, who appears here clothed with a cloud, as it was promised to be seen in heaven clothed in a cloud and it would be the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, according to Matthew 24, verse 30 to 31, where it says… let us see… Matthew 24, verse 30 and on, 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.”
There we can see the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, which was already fulfilled on February 28, 1963, where we saw the Son of Man, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Mighty Angel who is different from the rest; Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, we saw Him there with the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church. And for the Last Day, after that manifestation in heaven, He would be manifested on Earth in human flesh.
Now, He came in heaven in a cloud, but He will come to Earth in human flesh: It will be the Word incarnate in a man; but that man is not the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, notice how this mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man for the Last Day is the greatest mystery of all mysteries.
Now, we can see that for the Last Day, just as He had a Name as the Lamb, He will have a Name as the Lion. For His Work as the Lamb He had a Name, which was Jesus; and for His new Work, the Reclaiming Work, He will have a new name and a new veil of flesh. That is the mystery of the Coming of the Lord.
Then, when we are transformed, in our new body, that is when we will see Jesus Christ in His glorified body. But before that, throughout the different ages, we have been seeing Him manifested through His angel messengers; and the last manifestation of Christ in human flesh, in a man of this Earth, is at the Last Day in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, where He will be manifesting the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; and thus, He will be fulfilling what He has promised for this Last Day.
Now, the people who may be expecting Him in the same veil of flesh He had two thousand years ago, and with the same name He had two thousand years ago, and are waiting to welcome Him and also waiting for Him to speak to them, remember, you would have to start learning Hebrew (and the Hebrew that was spoken at that time, because that was the language He spoke in those days); but He comes according to what He has promised.
The entire mystery of the Second Coming of Christ revolves around the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who came two thousand years ago veiled in human flesh in the veil of flesh called Jesus. That young construction worker, that young carpenter, was the veil of flesh in whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, was veiled in human flesh and revealed through that veil of flesh as the Lamb of God, to carry out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross.
There was a mystery, a secret, for nearly thirty years; but later, when His ministry began, that mystery was opened, that secret, and it was made known that the Coming of the Messiah was fulfilled, and He identified Himself as the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah.
That is how it is for the Last Day: The Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, through His manifestation in human flesh, will be identifying Himself as the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord in human flesh, veiled and revealed through human flesh. And some will stumble over the veil of flesh and over the name of the veil of flesh; but that does not matter, the Program of God will be fulfilled and he that is of God, will hear the Voice of God.
And if anyone says: “I cannot understand… or I will not believe that,” God is not looking for unbelievers, but rather He is seeking His elect, of whom He said: “He that is of God, hears God’s Voice, and follows it. My sheep hear my voice, and they follow me.”
Therefore, God will not be forcing anyone to believe. He will be making known the mystery of His Coming and revealing His Name, manifesting His Name, although some will not understand it well; but the secret, the mystery of the Eternal Name of God and the New Name of Jesus Christ will be there, in that manifestation.
And Revelation, chapter 2, verse 17, says that no one understood that name; and also Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on. Let us also see how the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ reads it here on page 131. He says7:
“And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing. It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See?
Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’ Now, notice, ‘No man knowed, but Hisself.’”
Any person may say: “No, no; if it is not the way I think it is, I will stop believing.” Well look, from the moment he said he would stop believing, from that moment he stopped believing; he declared himself an unbeliever to everything God reveals regarding that Name.
So that is why one must be careful about what one speaks, because then you have problems with God and things are materialized for you ⏤later on, without you realizing it⏤, and then you find yourself outside of the Program of God.
Now, he says: “No man knowed, but Hisself.”
So, who is the one that can explain it to us best? Well, Himself. Everything we have not understood so far, well He will explain it. And if we have understood something wrong, then He will correct it. And if He has spoken something that was not fully a complete revelation and something was missing, then He will add it at the right time. Or if for any reason God has allowed something to be spoken, that is later taken away, it is up to Him to do so; no one else can do it.
For example, brother Branham always said: “The soul has five senses, and the spirit has one sense, and the body has five senses” for many years. And who would dare take that away from the way he had said it? No one could interfere with that. But later on, when God gave him more light and told him that the soul was the most important thing, and that the soul in the one that has one sense, and the spirit was the one that had five senses, well he corrected it.
Any person may say: “No, he has to leave it as he said. I am sticking to what he first said.” Well, the person stays that way; and from that point on, he cannot obtain more knowledge, because he declares himself an unbeliever to everything God is doing through His messenger from then on; therefore, he reached that point, stopped growing spiritually, stopped growing in divine knowledge.
Now notice, when you say: “the body has five senses, and the spirit has (how many senses?)…” Will you continue to say that it has one sense, as he used to say before receiving more light about the spirit? You cannot; because then you would remain in the same condition he was before he received more revelation.
One has to continue growing but with the messenger of one’s age. If you do not grow with the messenger of your age, you reach a certain point and then you stay like a dwarf; and from then on, you will see children saying things and you will say: “Wait, that child is saying this, but I understood it another way many years ago”; but that child has been growing with the Message and you remained very small. So you are smaller than that child.
Now, we have to continue growing as the Light enlightens the scriptures to us, and our understanding in our soul and our mind. We cannot stop, because the moment we stop, that is where we stay. We have to grow until we reach the stature of Jesus Christ, until we reach perfection, until we are in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, with a glorified and eternal physical body. Do not ever stop or stumble at any moment.
Remember that as the sun rises, one gradually starts to see. When it is still dark, but dawn is already breaking, one can see a little bit; then, more light shines and we can see a little more. At first, when the sun is rising, you look at your garden, and say: “There are many plants there, many bushes, plants, flowers, and everything,” but you cannot distinguish the flowers. But then, when there is more light, you say: “there are flowers too.” Then, when there is more light, you say: “and they are this kind and such color.” See? And so on as time goes by and the sun starts to rise and give more light, then we start to see more details, we start seeing the details we did not see at the beginning when dawn started to break. And it is this way for you and for me as well. I have experienced that myself in my own life.
So I do not stop: I continue growing as the Light enlightens me from Heaven. And it does not matter if someone says anything. Well, what I could not see at the beginning, I start seeing it gradually, I start seeing the details, I start telling you, and you also start seeing and growing.
Do not stop or stumble at any moment. We are all going to enter the promised land of the new body, and we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, as Christ promised; and then we will return for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. But none of you stumble; because he who stumbles has problems later on, and sometimes he has his knees all scraped, like children, remember; and that also happens spiritually. So do not stumble over anything, rather continue moving forward.
Notice something, so that you keep your eyes wide open. If you… how many of you know that there is an earthly Israel and a heavenly Israel? If you know that, then take this very, very seriously8:
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.”
A trip that could have been done in how long? Let us see… so that we do not exaggerate too much… How long, Miguel? Three months? In three months.
Now, to some of the Hebrew people, Moses, who had been a great military and political leader, now seemed like an inexperienced man guiding the Hebrew people. Why? Because it was a three-month trip, look… Forty years passed and they still had not arrived! And many of the leaders of the Hebrew people said: “This man is totally lost. He is walking and we have a goal: the promised land, but he is walking like this and suddenly he goes over here, and suddenly, he goes back, and suddenly, he does this. Something is wrong with this man.” And then God says: “I was the One guiding them, and I made them travel for forty years to test them on that road to the promised land.”
Remember that our entire journey is a trial, it is God proving us and seeing how we behave throughout the way. Ten times they tried to stone who? Moses, their messenger. Ten times. Once is an offense, ten times is too much.
Now, notice, it was God testing them. And what happened to all those who protested? None of those who came out of Egypt entered, except for Joshua and Caleb, who did not protest, but rather said: “God will give us the land, because He promised it. It is ours.”
Those who said: “There are giants over there. That land is dangerous and we will not be able to conquer that land, let us go back to Egypt;” well look, they did not enter; they were afraid and they did not want to enter the promised land, they did not want to move forward. He who does not move forward, well, notice: he will not enter, he will not enter the promised land.
Therefore, here in our souls, we always have to continue moving forward, because we have one goal: it is the goal of Christ; and the goal of Christ is to have sons and daughters of God in His image and likeness, perfect, with eternal physical bodies and glorified bodies and eternal theophanic bodies as well. That is the goal of Christ with His Church, for each one of you and for me too.
Therefore, it does not matter what problems arise on the way, we will continue forward and we will enter the promised land of the new body, and we will arrive at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and we will go to the Millennial Kingdom of Christ as well, when the great tribulation passes. Because that is what Christ has promised. But that is for whom? For the overcomers.
He who puts his hand to the plough and looks back for a reason that is justifiable to the person… but there is no justifiable reason to stop moving forward. And he does so, who is the one harmed? Well, the person. For he started but he did not reach the goal; therefore, he cannot be crowned with the crown of eternal life, with the crown of the eternal body; because those are promises for the overcomers. And “he who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is not fit for the Kingdom.”9
So let us never walk backward, but always walk towards the goal. It does not matter what contrary circumstances arise against you as individuals or against the Mystical Body of Christ as a group, or against one of the ministers as a minister. It does not matter what the devil raises against the Church of Jesus Christ, let us always walk towards, where? Forward, towards the divine goal. And Christ will take us to the promised land.
Notice, He is the One who has been with His Church from age to age, and He continues to be here until we enter the promised land of the new body. We have already entered the promised land of the new age, of the Cornerstone; this was a promised age, a promised land as an age, and we have already entered it; and we have also entered the promised land as a dispensation: The Dispensation of the Kingdom; and we will enter the promised land of the glorified and eternal body; and we will also enter the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ, after the great tribulation. But before that, after we enter the promised land of the new body and we are here for 30 to 40 days, then we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; while the Earth is going through the divine judgment of the great tribulation.
There will be three Witnesses on this Earth. THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE THREE WITNESSES. Which is the ministry of Moses (as one of the two witnesses), the ministry of Elijah (as another one of the Two Olive Trees) and the ministry of Jesus (as the greatest of the three witnesses, because He is the faithful and true Witness). And Moses and Elijah are the Two Witnesses, the Two Olive Trees, of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 and on, and Zechariah, chapter 4.
And now, notice how God speaks to us and testifies to us that He is a Witness: notice, He is also a Witness. Malachi, chapter 3, verse 5, also tells us there. It says:
“And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”
Now, notice how God says He is coming: as a Witness.
Therefore, through the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah, we will have the Witnesses that are required in the Divine Judgment for the judgment to be declared upon the human race; both upon individuals and nations.
And that is why the Scripture says… Let us see here in Revelation, chapter 11, there is something here… there is something around here. Chapter 11, verse 15 and on, says:
“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.”
There we can see the Divine Judgment that is appointed to be fulfilled at the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium.
Also in Revelation, chapter 6, verse 12 to 17, it speaks to us about the divine judgment. In Isaiah, chapter 61, verse 2, it also speaks to us about the day of vengeance of our God. And in Malachi, chapter 4, it also speaks to us about the day that burns as an oven coming for the inhabitants of the Earth. And the prophet Malachi tells us in chapter 4, verse 1:
“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
That is the divine judgment of the great tribulation that will fall upon Earth, which is a divine judgment of fire, atomic fire that will fall upon the human race in a Third World War.
And now notice how this will impact all these nations where these seven stages or ages of the gentile Church have been fulfilled, and it will impact other nations as well.
And now, notice how throughout the Scripture in the Old Testament, He tells us about all of this, and in the New Testament also. And the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger, will be testifying these things: He will be manifesting the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; and through those ministries comes the Testimony of all these things which must shortly come to pass, and the reason why all these things must come to pass.
In other words, the reason for all these divine judgments will also be made known through the manifestation of the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger. Because God cannot destroy the human race without a reason, He cannot destroy nations, peoples and tongues without a reason.
Now we can see that by that time the Blood of Christ will no longer be in the Place of Intercession in Heaven, in the Temple that is in Heaven; and therefore, God will look at the human race and see them with their sins, He will see the nations, peoples and tongues that way, and the individuals as well; and the wages of sin is death.
In the time of Noah only eight people were saved, how many will be saved at this end time? At least we can say that the elect of God will all be saved; not one will perish.
Now, then the divine judgments indicated, prophesied for the Last Day, will fall. We pray for Latin America and the Caribbean, so that it may survive those divine judgments that will fall upon the human race, so that it may enter into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. That is the territory we can pray for; and for the Hebrew people.
Now, it is not that we do not love all people, but that is the territory where God’s blessing is and upon which God has extended His mercy, as He extended it upon other territories in other ages. But if we can do something for the people of other nations outside the Latin American and Caribbean continent, we will do it too. And we will also be doing everything we can do for the Hebrew people; that is the other territory upon which God’s mercy will be extended, although the territory of Israel will go through terrible times.
God has made great promises for the Hebrew people. For this Last Day, there will be an interlacing with the Hebrew people, in which the Hebrew people will receive the Message of Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone; and then, It will spread for all of the Hebrew people.
That interlace is very important, because interlaces almost always happen in a simple way, and sometimes people do not even realize when an interlace of that kind is taking place.
We know that we have the Message that the Hebrew people are waiting for, and we know that after we leave here, from this earthly dimension, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the Hebrew people will continue with the Message. They will receive It from our age and they will move forward.
But how will all of that happen? Wait until they do what Joseph’s brothers did, approaching to him over there for physical food, and at this time it will be for spiritual food. When you see them ⏤for everything is very close⏤ it is because there is no spiritual food for the soul of the human being anywhere, except in the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ, which is the Age of the Cornerstone; and that is a new dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Therefore, we already know where the Hebrew people will come seeking spiritual food; and Christ will give them food as they need it and as they seek it. But remember that the most important thing always is that the number of the elect of God of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ is completed.
Now, we do not know if it will be completed with gentiles or with some of the Hebrews who belong to the Mystical Body of Christ, who belong to the Firstborn of God written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.
But if it has to be completed with Hebrews, in other words, if the last elect will be Hebrews, well, do not worry, they will be called and they will also be gathered together in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and they will believe exactly everything we believe, too. In other words, that is not a problem for us, nor for God. He is the One who is seeking and gathering His elect, with what? With the Seventh Seal.
The Seventh Seal, with the opening of the Seventh Seal, with the revelation of the Seventh Seal, by the revelation of the Seventh Seal being made known, in other words, by the mystery of the Seventh Seal being made known, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, all of God’s elect among the gentiles are called and gathered.
And for the Hebrew people, the Final Trumpet, which is the Seventh Trumpet, what the Seventh Seal is for us, is the Final Trumpet or Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people.
In other words, for the Hebrew people and for the gentile Church, the Second Coming of Christ is what brings together all of the elect of God, by the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ being made known to all of the elect of God from among the gentiles and among the Hebrew people; and that is the Seventh Seal for the elect among the gentiles and it is the Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ spoke of this in the message “Ashamed,” in the book of Quotations, page 149, paragraph 1333, he says10:
“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.”
Those who have departed are resting, until when? Until that time, when they will arise in eternal bodies, and we who are alive will be changed; and that is for the time of the Seventh Seal for the gentile Church, and the Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people.
What the Seventh Seal is for the Church, which is the Second Coming of Christ, is the Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people, the Coming of the Lord for the Hebrew people. That is the Great Voice of Trumpet of Isaiah, chapter 27, verse 13; a Trumpet that will be played for the Hebrew people.
And now, we have seen that the same mystery that is revealed to the Church of Jesus Christ to call and gather together the elect from among the gentiles, of the Church of Jesus Christ, is the same mystery that is made known to the Hebrews; and they will recognize it when it is time for them to recognize it, and they will say: “This is what we are waiting for.”
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ spoke about this, and he told us that when they see Him coming for His gentile Church they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for.”
Now, notice how this great event will be at the Last Day… And He will come as the Angel of the Covenant who descends from Heaven, who is the Messenger to Israel, the Angel of the Covenant; but first He comes where? For His gentile Church. Page 57 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, where the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, said11:
“‘…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…’
If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.
‘…and his face… as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:’
You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”
Now, notice this mystery of His Coming to His Church first, and then He will for the Hebrew people.
There are other messages where the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said that when they see Him coming in the midst of the gentile Church, they will recognize Him and say: “This is the One we are waiting for.” This is so because that is what has been promised by God for this end time.
Now, we are reaching the time in which the Hebrews will see Him at any moment. The Hebrews will see Him, and what will they see? What the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said on page 256 of the book The Seals when he said12:
“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.”
When they see the Word of God incarnate in a man in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, when they see the Angel of the Covenant manifested, veiled – manifested in human flesh, veiled, this Angel of the Covenant veiled in human flesh in the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for.” And thus, they will receive the Message of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Coming of Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work, and they will receive the blessing Christ has promised for the Hebrew people for this end time. And they will take the Message to the Hebrew people.
It will begin with a few. It always starts with a few at the beginning, but then the number begins increasing. The first ones that everything begins with, will be blessed, they will be blessed, just as the first ones that the Dispensation of Grace began with were blessed, and as the first ones that the Dispensation of the Kingdom began with are blessed; and so on the first ones are blessed.
And the first ones are those who pertain to the Age of the Cornerstone, they are the first ones; and then, later on, the rest who will enter the Millennial Kingdom will come, the ones who will be in the Millennial Kingdom; but the ones who were in the Age of the Cornerstone, all of those are the first ones of the Dispensation of the Kingdom. It does not matter if they arrived a few days later, or a few days earlier; the first ones of the Dispensation of the Kingdom are the ones who form the group of the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, by seeing the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord for the gentile Church, which is the Seventh Trumpet for the Hebrew people, we can also see the three Witnesses.
Under the Seventh Seal, we have Jesus, the faithful and true Witness; under the Seventh Trumpet, we have the Two Witnesses, the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah; and since the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet is the same thing, it is the Coming of the Lord, then we have the three Witnesses under the Seventh Seal and under the Seventh Trumpet.
We have the ministries of Jesus, Moses and Elijah as the three Witnesses for the Last Day; ministries which will be manifested at the Last Day by the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in His Angel Messenger. Those are the ministries that operate at the Last Day, which the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ through His Angel Messenger, operates at the Last Day, for the seventh millennium and for the Age of the Cornerstone and for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, under the Seventh Seal and the Two Witnesses.
And with those… I said: “and the Two Witnesses”: of Revelation, well, chapter 11; and the other Witness: of Revelation, chapter 1, verse 5, and Revelation, chapter 3, verse 14, which is Christ, the ministry of Christ; and therefore, they are three Witnesses.
And with those three Witnesses, God will fulfill everything He has promised. And those three Witnesses will testify all the things that must happen soon on this planet Earth through the ministry that the Holy Spirit will be operating through His Angel Messenger.
It has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion testifying to you about “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE THREE WITNESSES.”
And remember that just as we have seen the Seventh Seal and the three Witnesses, so will the Hebrew people. And we will welcome them, and we will help them in everything they may need; and we will treat them with great divine love, and with affection, respect and spiritual kindness.
Without being harsh or trying to be forceful about things. Things which have taken us many years to comprehend, we are not going to try to tell them about it all at once, so that they either believe it or not. God has not treated us that way, therefore we will not treat them in such a harsh manner, instead we will let God work.
We will give them the pamphlets, the videos, and we will not be speaking things that may make them stumble, but rather we will let them mature, just as we have been maturing from stage to stage and from year after year in order to comprehend all these mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
And remember that it is through the Message that they will obtain the knowledge of what they need. In other words, do not try to force them to understand things, nor try to give them at the beginning something that is for the end, rather, let them see in the books and in the videos and tapes, the things God has already given us. And this way Christ will glorify Himself.
And even, if among the first who receive the Word there are many who belong to the elect, to the Mystical Body of Christ, well, God is going to call them first, and then He will call the rest.
Well, we know they will come. And now, how are they going to come? We do not know; but we have our doors open to them in different countries.
We would say… each person in his country says: “I hope it is from our country,” and we also say the same; because there is a saying that goes: “every person wants the best for himself.” And if God is going to start something, we would like it to start here, in Puerto Rico; but we also leave that for God to determine, as God has predestined it since before the foundation of the world. But our wish, well, we would like for it to be with Puerto Rico and from Puerto Rico; but first of all: may it be as God has predestined it since before the foundation of the world. And that is how it will be: as He has predestined it.
And when we see that full connection, and they fully receive the Message, and It spreads throughout the Hebrew people, Israel and all the nations between them, then we will be seeing that the time of the gentiles has completely finished, and that if anyone from among the gentiles have yet to be placed in the Mystical Body of Christ, they are very few.
Now, we hope that the number of God’s elect is completed soon; that is the only thing keeping God from dealing with the Hebrew people; because God already has everything prepared: everything He will give them, as they are prepared with hunger to receive what God has for them.
In other words, God has been working with them so that they are prepared; and they are desperate to receive what God has for them, because they know that God has something great for them at this end time; and that is the Seventh Trumpet, which is the Seventh Seal for the Bride; which is, for both Hebrews and gentiles: the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate at the Last Day, in a man of the Last Day.
This is what the Hebrew people are waiting for, and that is what God has promised His gentile Church. And this is what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 would be.
Well, now we know how to act when we see them; because we have enough space here, and we will have chairs; and if there are no chairs, we will buy them, for when they are touched by God.
But be aware that God will be working; and that no one should interrupt the Work of God. Let those who God has chosen to work with them be the ones who deal with them, so that you do not interrupt the Work of God and become responsible for interrupting the Program of God.
We will help them as much as we can, and we will have spiritual Food for them in pamphlets, videos and all forms; and even if we have to bring more messages, speaking directly about the Hebrew people, we will also bring them, and we will enjoy them with them as well; and if they are not there at the time, then we will enjoy them first and then we will pass them on to them.
Well, that is the way things are in the Kingdom of God.
Well, do you know what has been keeping everything from happening? That the Mystical Body of Christ has to be completed; and that is why you have seen that I have had to travel a lot with Miguel and the other people who have been accompanying me on the trips; because the elect are spread out across Latin America, or scattered; but the promise is that they will be gathered, and that is: gathered in an age: the Age of the Cornerstone, and in a Dispensation: the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and in a Mystical Body: the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, which is His Church; and that is what is happening in the Divine Program at this end time.
My desire has always been to be here with you all the time, but it has not been possible for me; but the Message has always been here, you have always had it. You have never lacked spiritual Food, and God has been with you here; and my heart has been here with you too, and my mind has also been here with you. So when I travel, it is only a small trip, but my home is here. Therefore, always pray for me, so that God may guide me, keep me, and use me in all the trips, and so that I return to Puerto Rico in perfect health, to share with you the days I am here in Puerto Rico.
Sometimes one catches a cold; but after spending so much time traveling, to not be able to make it and be with you here because of a cold? Well, that does not make a lot of sense. And sometimes you see me here struggling with a bit of a cold, with a bit of a sore throat, and so on; but we make an effort, and God helps me, and I share with you what God has given me for all of you.
It has been a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you about: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE THREE WITNESSES,” which appear in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 4 and 5; and chapter 3, verse 14; and Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 to 7; they also appear prophesied that they would be here on Earth, they appear in the Old Testament and also in the New Testament, in the prophecies that speak of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Our subject for this evening, that is, for the following service today, will be: “The Seventh Seal and the Day and Hour of His Coming.” That will be for the next activity.
May God continue to bless all of you all, may God keep you. Thank you very much for your kind attention, and I leave Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin with us again to continue and conclude our part on this occasion, in this first activity we have been enjoying.
Let us ask Miguel to come forward. May God bless you, may God keep you. And onward until we are transformed!
