Good afternoon, kind friends present, listeners and viewers. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Divine Program relevant to this Last Day, and we will take as our subject: “THE SEVENTH SEAL AND WRATH OF GOD.” A subject that is perhaps a bit difficult, but we have to face the reality of what is the wrath of God, in order to escape the wrath of God in the time in which one can escape the wrath of God.
I want to read in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 to 5, where it says:
“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.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
Here in the opening of this Seventh Seal, we find that there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour. Half an hour in Heaven equals to about 20 years and 10 months among human beings, 20 years and 10 months; because “one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,” Saint Peter says in his second epistle. Let us see Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8; it says:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
The prophet Moses also talks about the same thing in Psalm 90 and verse 4, and Saint Peter got that Word from there to then open It further in the New Testament.
We find that the last days in the bible are last days before God, and therefore, they are millenniums for human beings.
Notice, in the book of Acts (also the apostle Saint Peter speaking), chapter 2, verse 14 and on… This was on the Day of Pentecost, when they received the Holy Spirit. And when some people saw them speaking the wonders of God, and everyone understanding the different languages they spoke…; because there were people from different nations there, and many of the Hebrews who had been born in different nations were there that day worshiping God, because it was the time of a feast, and they had come from the different nations where they were born, they had come to Jerusalem to worship God; and now, they heard 120 people speaking in different languages the wonders of God.
They said: “What does this mean? Aren’t all of these Galileans? How are we hearing them speaking in our own language?” Others mocking, said: “These men are full of new wine.” Because there are always mockers when God is fulfilling His Program; but woe unto them!, it shall be ill with them.
And now, since a divine promise was being fulfilled there, Peter had to testify what was happening there.
There was a group there among those present, who said: “What does this mean?” In other words, they wanted to know. Others, the know-it-alls, said: “They are drunk; these men are full of new wine”; those people are damned whenever they appear in the different stages of the Program of God. And the ones who knew what was happening were: Peter and his group of 119 people (and Peter would be number 120).
And now, chapter 2, verse 14 and on, of the book of Acts, says:
“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.”
In other words, it was 8 to 9 in the morning, which is the third hour of the day.
The first hour of the day is from 6 to 7 in the morning, the second is from 7 to 8 in the morning and the third is from 8 to 9 in the morning; that is how it is. And this is the fourth watch. And it is the only watch that takes place during the day; and it takes place in the morning, in the first three hours of the morning: from 6 to 9 in the morning.
Now, Peter says:
“But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God…”
When? In the Last Days.
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”
And now, what was happening there? God was pouring out of His Spirit upon those who were there. Why? Because they were already living in the last days; because the promise of the Coming of the Holy Spirit is for the last days, to come upon all flesh, upon every person who repents of his sins and receives Christ as his Savior and washes his sins in the Blood of Christ; the promise of the Coming of the Holy Spirit becomes a reality for those people.
And that has been happening since the Day of Pentecost until now, and God is still pouring out of His Holy Spirit upon every person who receives Christ as his Savior and washes his sins in the Blood of Christ.
That is a promise for the last days; and notice, the last days already began two thousand years ago.
Saint Paul also had that knowledge of what the last days were and that is why in Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 2, he says:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son…”
When does it say that God spoke by His Son, by Jesus Christ? Saint Paul says: “…in these last days…” and two thousand years have already passed.
Could Saint Paul have been mistaken when he said that those were the last days? He was not mistaken, because one day before the Lord is one thousand years for human beings; and when God speaks about the last days, those are the last days before God, which are the last millenniums for human beings, which are the fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium; and there we have what the last days are.
And when Jesus was 4 to 7 years old, the fifth millennium began, and therefore, the last days began; and God was speaking through Jesus Christ in the last days, because the first of the last days before God had already begun, which is the fifth millennium for human beings. That is the first of the three last days before God; for human beings, it is the first of the three last millenniums.
And now, notice how in the last days, the First Coming of Christ was among the Hebrew people, the ministry of Jesus was among the Hebrew people; and He had the work of Redeemer there among the Hebrew people, at the beginning of the last days, when He had His ministry and when He died as the Lamb of God on Calvary’s Cross. That happened in the last days, as it was promised by God.
And now, we have seen the mystery of what the last days are.
And now, out of the last days, which is the Last Day before God? Well, the third of the three last days. And the third of the three last days, we’ll notice, it is the last millennium out of the three last millenniums; and the fifth millennium was the first of the three last days before God, the sixth millennium was the second of the three last millenniums and the seventh millennium is the last millennium, the last millennium, out of the three last millenniums.
And now, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind, we are already in the seventh millennium, and therefore, we are at the Last Day before God, which is the seventh millennium for human beings; but if we do not add to the calendar the years it is behind, there is also no problem: we only have two or three years left until the beginning of the seventh millennium.
We have left… let us see, it is 1998. What remains of 1998 and then 1999, and then 2000, and the sixth millennium ends and the seventh millennium begins; and therefore, the 21st century begins, in just a few years. In other words, we are living at the end of the 20th century and at the end of the sixth millennium, in the last years of the 20th century and the sixth millennium.
And at the end of the world, what did Christ say would be happening? Christ, speaking in the parable of the wheat and tares said to leave the wheat and the tares together until the time of harvest, that is, the time to reap; and when Christ speaks about the wheat and tares, the tares represent the children of the wicked one and the wheat represent the children of the Kingdom, the children of God.
And now, it is for the end time that Christ says that the Son of Man will send (who?) His Angels (for what?) to carry out the Work of the great harvest. The wheat will be called and gathered together and collected to be placed in the… [NO AUDIO FROM ORIGIN]
…1 to 2, where it says [Isaiah]:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn…”
And now, let us see something very important here; in this passage here, it tells us, verse 2 says:
“…to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, (and then it continues) and the day of vengeance of our God.”
And now, let us see in Luke, chapter 4, where Jesus in the synagogue in Nazareth went there on Saturday, beginning His ministry at that time; and notice what happened there. Chapter 4, verse 14 and on, says, of Luke):
“And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Now, notice how Christ reads the Scripture that was being fulfilled in Him at that time, and He testifies to them that this Scripture was fulfilled before them. Why? Because God’s Anointed One was there, the Anointed One by the Spirit of God to carry out the messianic ministry relevant to that time, in the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Messiah, who would come preaching the acceptable year of the Lord, He would come preaching the Message of Grace for the people, where He showed them the blessings God had for human beings under the Dispensation of the Grace.
And now, why did Christ stop there where it says: “…to preach the acceptable year of the Lord…” and not continue reading? Because if He continued reading, what followed was: “…and the day of vengeance of our God.”
And the day of vengeance of our God is the day of God’s wrath that will come upon the human race; and the day of vengeance of our God would not be preached in the First Coming of Christ, because the day of vengeance of our God is to be preached at the Last Day; it will be preached at the end time, and that is for this time in which we are living.
Because the day of vengeance of our God is the time of the great tribulation, when the divine judgment will fall upon the human race; and that is at the Last Day before God. That Last Day —which is the seventh millennium for human beings— is the day of vengeance of our God, wherein the divine judgment will fall upon the human race.
And now, for a few moments, let us see what that day of vengeance of our God will be like; because it is better to know how things will be at that time and to see how we can avoid that divine judgment, to see how we can escape it; just as it happened in the time of Noah, when the divine judgment that would fall upon the human race was preached, but God showed the prophet Noah how to escape the divine judgment: through the construction of an ark in which all the people who would believe the Message of the prophet Noah would enter.
And now let us see what the divine judgment that will come upon the human race during the great tribulation will be like. In the Old Testament and in the New Testament it tells about that divine judgment.
And now, in chapter 6 of Revelation, verses 12 to 17, it shows us a clear picture of how humanity will be under the divine judgment at that time. It says:
“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
Here we have seen the picture of what the day of vengeance of our God will be like, the day in which God’s wrath will be poured out upon the human race. Humanity will not find a place to hide from the presence of God and from His judgment that will be falling upon the human race.
In chapter 11 of Revelation, verse 15 to 19, it also shows us a picture of what that time will be like. It 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…”
Whose wrath? Of God. It says:
“…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.”
Here we can see that the divine judgment is going to fall upon the human race. God will be speaking that divine judgment from His Throne. That is why it says that there were lightnings, voices, thunderings and an earthquake, likewise in the opening of the Seventh Seal, in Revelation, chapter 8, it says [verse 5]:
“And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
That is the divine judgment coming out of the Throne of God, from Heaven, to be fulfilled, manifested on planet Earth upon the human race.
And why does the divine judgment come out of the Throne of God if God is a merciful God, a loving God? Since Christ died on Calvary’s Cross, resurrected and ascended to Heaven, God has been extending His mercy upon the human race. Why? Because Jesus Christ is in the Temple that is in Heaven as High Priest with His Sacrifice and His Blood applied on the Mercy Seat of the Throne of God in Heaven.
And just as God commanded Moses to build a tabernacle among the Hebrew people…; and we find that in that tabernacle there was a place called the most holy place, where the ark of the covenant was placed; and the ark of the covenant had a cover on top of it, called the mercy seat, where there were two cherubim of gold (made out of the same gold as that cover, that mercy seat); and between the two cherubim was God’s presence in that light of the Shekinah or Pillar of Fire.
And once a year, one day out of the year, the high priest would enter with the blood of the goat that had been offered as a sin offering, and with his finger, he would apply that blood on the mercy seat; and thus, God’s mercy was extended upon the Hebrew people, and the Hebrew people would be reconciled before God, with God; their sins were covered by the blood of the sacrifice.
And if the sins are covered and God cannot see them, then the divine judgment cannot fall upon the person or upon a nation; because if God sees the sins in a person or in a nation, what happens? The divine judgment must fall (why?) because the wages of sin is death.
That is why you can see that the Hebrew people would offer those sacrifices to God; you can see that the prophet Moses established the tabernacle and all of these works in the temple, so that God’s mercy would be upon the Hebrew people. If the Hebrew people did not have that tabernacle and those sacrifices before God, the Hebrew people would be destroyed.
The temple or tabernacle that Moses built is a type and figure of the Temple that is in Heaven; and therefore, in the earthly temple that God ordered Moses to build, notice, those sacrifices were offered and they were accepted by God because they were a type and figure of the Sacrifice of Christ, that would be placed in the Temple that is in Heaven; and it was placed there when Christ died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven.
And that is why from that point on, we do not need a temple or a tabernacle —like the one of Moses or Solomon— where the people can offer God their animal sacrifices and a high priest can take the blood to the most holy place of an earthly temple; we no longer need an earthly temple where those things are done, because now, in the Temple that is in Heaven, Jesus Christ as High Priest, as Melchizedek, High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek…; because He is that Priest, that Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham, He is the High Priest of the Temple that is in Heaven; that is why He was the only one that could carry out a perfect Sacrifice; and He carried it out with His own body, which He had here on Earth, which was born of the virgin Mary, He offered it for our sins, and then that body resurrected, and then ascended to Heaven and took His own Blood and applied It there in the Most Holy Place of the Temple that is in Heaven, on the Mercy Seat, on the Throne of Mercy, the Throne of God.
The Scripture says that He ascended to Heaven and sat on the Throne of God, He sat at the right hand of God. Notice, in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 21, He says that He sat on the Throne of God. He says:
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
And why did He sit on the Throne of the Father? To apply His Blood of Atonement there for our sins, for the reconciliation of the human being with God.
Neither the Hebrew people nor the gentiles need an earthly temple built like the one of Moses or Solomon, in which to offer those sin offerings, for the reconciliation of a person or a people with God. There is already a Sacrifice in the Temple that is in Heaven, and it is the Sacrifice of Christ, and His Blood that is there to cleanse —not to cover sin, but to cleanse— the sin of every human being.
And every person who has that Blood of the Lamb applied in his soul, because he has received Christ as his Savior and has washed away his sins in the Blood of Christ and has received His Holy Spirit, is seen by God without sin; because the Blood of Christ does not cover sin, rather, it takes it away, and the person is justified, that is, he is as if he had never sinned before; God does not even remember that the person once sinned. Why? Because they are blotted out; and if they are blotted out, they are not there; and if they are not there, well, God cannot see them.
And now, that is how it is for every person that has received Christ as his Savior, washing away his sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit; but whoever has not done so, his sins are seen by God.
And when Christ takes away His Sacrifice and His Blood from the Throne that is in Heaven, the divine judgment will fall upon the human race, God’s wrath will fall upon the human race and destroy nations and millions of human beings. Why? Because the wages of sin is death.
When Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s Cross, God’s wrath was going to fall upon the human race due to sin, as it fell in the time of Noah.
Now, why didn’t Noah die and the rest of the people died (and only eight people were saved1)? Because only eight people had their sins covered by the blood of those sacrifices that were carried out at that time, and only eight people believed the Message of God that was given to the prophet Noah, and only eight people went into the ark; and then the door was shut.
The rest did not understand, they did not know. Although they may have been very scientifically advanced, and they may have been a group of nations that were very developed in every field (the scientific field and the other fields), however, as far as the Program of God, they did not understand the time in which they were living.
And Christ makes reference to the time of Noah, and Christ shows that the end time, the time of the Coming of the Son of Man, which is the time of the last Day or Last Day (in other words, the time of the seventh millennium), will be a time parallel to the time of Noah, where people will have plenty of human knowledge, but as far as the Divine Program relevant to this end time (pertaining to the Last Day, to the seventh millennium) they will not have knowledge.
Christ said in Matthew, chapter 24, verse 34 and on (let us see)… To avoid reading too much, let us begin on verse 37; it says:
“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
And the Coming of the Son of Man is promised for the Last Day.
The Coming of the Son of Man is the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, coming at the Last Day in the fulfillment of His Coming as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as the King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work. It is the Coming of the one who was with the Hebrew people, delivered the Hebrew people, accompanied the Hebrew people and guided them through the wilderness for 40 years and brought them into the promised land; and at first He used the prophet Moses and then He used the prophet Joshua.
Now, we can see that this Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, has always used a man, a prophet, from stage to stage, from age to age. We find in chapter 23 and verses 20 to 23 of Exodus, that God says (regarding the Angel of the Lord):
“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.
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 this Angel has been guiding the Hebrew people. He was the one who spoke to the prophet Moses and said to him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
This Angel was the one who delivered the Hebrew people and was seen in the form of a Pillar of Fire, but notice, the one inside that Pillar of Fire is a man; it is a man from another dimension, of the sixth dimension. It is this man referred to in the book of the prophet Malachi as the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord (and also in our reading).
And now, the prophet Malachi promises the Coming of that Angel; and His Coming will be in human flesh, in the form of a prophet. In chapter 3 of Malachi, verse 1 and on, it says:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me (that was John the Baptist, the one who came preparing the way before the Lord), and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Who would come after John the Baptist? The Lord would come, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Angel of the Covenant, the one who appeared to the prophet Moses.
And now, how would He come? In John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on, it says the following; and I want to read this passage, which is very important in order to understand the mystery of the First Coming of Christ and the Second Coming of Christ. Chapter 1, verse 1 to 14, says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
Verse 9 of this same chapter 1, verse 9 to 10 of John, says:
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not (in other words, the Hebrew people did not receive Him).
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name…”
How? Well, by believing in Christ as our Savior, washing away our sins in the Blood of Christ and receiving His Holy Spirit; and that is how one is born again. The new birth is obtained and one is born as a son or as a daughter of God. And that is “to them gave He power to become the sons of God, to them that believe in His Name.”
“…which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
In other words, the new birth is not by being born again of a woman, it is not a new birth through the will of the flesh, nor human will, nor the will of man, by the union of a man and a woman, but of God, through the Spirit of God.
By believing in Christ, the Holy Spirit brings forth that new birth in each one of the people whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.
And now, it goes on to say:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
The Word, which in the beginning was with God and was God and created all things, was now made flesh and dwelt among the Hebrew people and was known by the name of Jesus.
Notice who is our beloved Savior Jesus Christ: He is the Angel of the Covenant of the Old Testament, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is that Angel of the Covenant who would come in human flesh and be among the Hebrew people.
And He, His physical body of flesh —that He obtained by that birth through the virgin Mary—, was the one He offered as a living Sacrifice there on Calvary’s Cross; and that is the body that brought the Divine Blood to take away, to blot out our sins; and that is the Blood that has been applied on the Mercy Seat of the Temple that is in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place, there, of the Throne of God.
And Christ as High Priest (who is the Angel of the Covenant) has been making intercession there for every person whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life; but someday, His Work will end, when the very last elect of God comes in. Of which Saint Paul also spoke about in his epistle to the Romans, in chapter 11, where he says…, referring to the Hebrew people and the reason why they were blind to the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah, it says, chapter 11, verse 25 and on:
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”
In other words, until the very last of the gentiles has come into the Mystical Body of Christ, the last of those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And when the Mystical Body of Christ is complete, which is the Church of Jesus Christ… That Mystical Body will be completed at this Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium.
And now, from age to age Christ has been calling and gathering together His children in the different territories where they have been gathered. In the first stage or age of the Church of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, that stage was fulfilled in Asia Minor, and God sent His messenger there, the apostle Saint Paul; and through Saint Paul, Christ manifested in him, called and gathered His elect of that time and from that territory.
Saint Paul said: “Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” It was Christ in Saint Paul. And that is how it was with each angel messenger in each one of these different stages that appear in this diagram, which represents the Church of Jesus Christ.
The first stage was fulfilled in Asia Minor among the gentiles, and Saint Paul was its messenger; the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth were fulfilled in Europe, where Christ sent five messengers, through whom He was speaking and He was calling and gathering together His sheep; as He tells us in John, chapter 10, verse 14 and on:
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold (in other words, they are not of the Hebrew people), them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”
How will they hear the Voice of Christ and how will Christ bring them? Through His manifestation in Holy Spirit through each angel messenger in each one of the ages of His Church; and Christ speaking through each messenger, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in each one of these messengers, was calling and gathering together His sheep in each one of these stages of the Church of Jesus Christ.
And for this end time, these seven stages have already passed, and these seven messengers have already had their ministries and they have already gone. And now, what is left? We are left with the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the most important age, the Golden Age, in which Christ calls and gathers together His elect through His Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and through His Angel Messenger, He makes known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, because it is through His Angel Messenger that Christ speaks at this Last Day and makes known to us all these mysteries of the Kingdom of God and calls and gathers together His elect at this end time.
And now, the first stage fell upon Asia Minor; the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth fell upon Europe; the seventh fell upon North America; and now, the Age of the Cornerstone falls upon Latin America and the Caribbean, where God calls and gathers together His elect of the Age of the Cornerstone, He calls them and gathers them together with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom through His Angel Messenger. That is why He says, Christ Himself says in Revelation 22, verse 16:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
Who has He sent? His Angel Messenger. For what? To testify these things. What things? These things which must shortly come to pass. That is why the things Christ promised to make known to His Church in Revelation, chapter 4, He makes them known through His Angel Messenger.
Notice, Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, and Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11… Notice, Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day (meaning, in the seventh millennium, which is the Day of the Lord and it is the Last Day), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
Who is the Alpha and Omega? Who is the first and the last? Our Lord Jesus Christ.
And in chapter 4 verse 1, says:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet (notice, He is speaking with a voice as it were a trumpet; it is not a trumpet, but a voice like a trumpet), talking with me; which said, Come up hither (Where are we going up to? We are going up to the Age of the Cornerstone), and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
What things will He show us? The things that will happen after the things which have already happened in the seven stages of the gentile Church; after these things, there are other things which will happen in this age, the Age of the Cornerstone, that age is fulfilled… That age is fulfilled (where?) in Latin America and the Caribbean.
And now, how will He make all these things known to us? Let us see through whom. Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, says:
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Who has He sent? His Angel Messenger. For what? To show (what things?) the things which must shortly be done; because he is the messenger sent by Christ, through whom Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested speaking to His Church all these thing that must happen.
And now, notice how this great blessing pertains to the Latin American and Caribbean territory; and, notice, that is where the fullness of the gentiles is completed, where those who are yet to come among the gentiles come into the Mystical Body of Christ; it is fulfilled (where?) in the Age of the Cornerstone; and the Age of the Cornerstone is fulfilled among the Latin American and Caribbean people. In other words, the greatest blessing from Jesus Christ for His Church pertains to the Latin American and the Caribbean people.
That is where He sends His Angel Messenger to testify all of these things which must shortly be done, because that is the stage in which the Age of the Cornerstone is fulfilled, and it is the Golden Stage of the Church of Jesus Christ, and it is among the Latin American and Caribbean people.
At this end time, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is in her most glorious stage: the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ; and that age is being fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean. And that is where the fullness of the gentiles will come in. The Mystical Body of Jesus Christ will be completed with the elect who are called and gathered together in this Age of the Cornerstone.
Let us see what it says here:
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written…”
Now, we have seen the blindness of Israel, who have not been able to believe in Christ as their Savior… The Hebrew people as a nation have not been able to believe in Christ as their Savior; they remain in the Law of Moses, they have not passed on to Grace.
And now, God worked in that manner to give the gentiles an opportunity; but when the number of gentiles that make up the Mystical Body of Christ is completed, then the door of mercy will shut for the gentiles, and from that point on, God’s wrath will fall upon the gentiles; because from that point on, then, the Sacrifice of Christ will be taken away from the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, and there will be no more of God’s mercy for the gentiles because the Blood of Christ will no longer be covering or taking away anyone’s sins there; the Program of God will have already been completed among the gentiles, the Mystical Body of Christ will have already been completed.
Now, it goes on to say… Now, after that, after the number of the gentiles, of the gentile Church is completed, what happens? Then, God turns to the Hebrew people, “and so all Israel shall be saved.”
Now we can see why the Hebrews have rejected Christ since He came two thousand years ago, and even during these entire two thousand years that have passed, the Hebrew people as a nation have rejected Christ as the Messiah, as the King of Israel; but that has given the gentiles the opportunity for God to call from among the gentiles a people for His Name; but once the number of the gentiles of the Mystical Body of Christ is completed, then all Israel will be saved; the door for the gentiles will be shut and the door of mercy will open for the Hebrew people.
It continues saying:
“…As it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”
When will their sins be taken away? When He, Christ, reveals Himself to them and they receive Him; and then, their sins will be taken away, and they will be completely restored as a nation, and the Spirit of God will be in the midst of the Hebrew nation; and then they will be a living nation, because the Hebrew nation without the Spirit of God among her is a nation without life, like the other nations.
Now, how will the Spirit of God be among the Hebrew nation? It will be there in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah.
Now, just as the body without the spirit is dead2, so are all the nations: without the Spirit of God, they are dead; but upon the Hebrew people receiving the Spirit of God coming at the Last Day, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord coming again at the Last Day in human flesh, they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for”; and by receiving Him, they will be receiving (what?) Life. Because the body without the spirit is dead, and the Hebrew nation without the Spirit of God among her is dead; even though a powerful body has already been formed, it is still without the Spirit of God, like the dry bones that the prophet Ezekiel saw3.
We find that each bone was joined with its bone, and upon them were nerves, muscles, flesh and skin, but they were still dead (even though they already had flesh, skin and everything); but when the Spirit of God was called upon them and the Spirit of God came, then it was a living nation, a powerful army; and that is how it will be for the Last Day.
We see that the bones have come together, bone to its bone, we see that sinews have been laid, we see them with muscles. It is a strong nation, although it has many enemies, we see it well prepared; but it needs the return of the Spirit of God, because the Spirit of God is among the gentiles, from age to age, calling and seeking and gathering together His elect from each age and placing them in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ.
And when that work is completed, when the fullness of the gentiles comes in, the number of the Mystical Body of Christ is completed, the number of the members of the Church of Christ is completed, then it will be the Hebrew people’s turn. God will open their eyes, their understanding and their heart, and then, the Hebrew people will understand, and they will see Christ manifested in His last manifestation.
They were not able to see Christ manifested in human flesh two thousand years ago in the person of Jesus, nor could they see Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, manifested in Saint Paul or in any of the seven angel messengers; but they will see Him manifested in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will say: “This is the man we were looking for.”
They are waiting for Elijah to come to prepare the way for the Lord, and they will say: “This is the man”; and then they will see that the ministry of Moses is also there present, they will also see him as Moses; and then they will see him as the ministry of Jesus repeating itself on Earth again, they will see him as the manifestation of Christ at the Last Day; and thus they will say: “This is the man we were waiting for.” But before that, all of this will be seen by the Church of Jesus Christ at the Last Day; because both the Church of Jesus Christ and the Hebrew people have the promise of the Second Coming of Christ.
And now, notice, the New Testament and the Old Testament speak to us about the Coming of the Lord in different ways and with different types and figures, different parables; and we also have reflected all this Program of the First and Second Coming of Christ, we have it reflected in men like the prophet Joseph, son of Jacob, also like Jacob himself, also like king David, and also like Solomon, the son of David and other prophets as well.
That is why we find that king David spoke many things in the Spirit, and they were prophecies related to the Coming of the Messiah; but the prophet and king David felt – he felt he was in that situation; he was going through stages that were reflecting the things that would happen in the life of the Messiah, Jesus Christ in His First Coming; and the Second Coming of Christ was also reflected in king David and also in Joseph the son of Jacob. Because the Divine Program of the First and the Second Coming of Christ is reflected in God’s prophets.
And now, we find that in both the Old Testament and New Testament the Coming of the Lord is promised to be fulfilled at the Last Day, just as the First Coming of Christ was promised to be fulfilled, and it was fulfilled approximately two thousand years ago in a humble young construction worker called Jesus of Nazareth.
Who would have imagined that the Designer, Architect, Engineer and Builder of the entire universe would come as a humble construction worker? The one who built the entire universe, the one who created the whole universe now comes in a humble way; and He was the One who created all things: the Word, which created all things, and now was made flesh and lived in the midst of the human beings in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, a humble and simple young man.
And now, that was the mystery of the First Coming of Christ: the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in human flesh, in a humble veil of flesh.
And now, we have the promise of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Holy Spirit; for the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, and the Word, is the Holy Spirit; it is the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in Holy Spirit. Now, we have the promise that He will return manifested in human flesh at the Last Day.
He has been manifested in human flesh in each one of His messengers of each age, in the portion relevant to each age, but for this Last Day, He will come in the fulfillment of the promises pertaining to the Last Day; and let us see what His Coming will be like.
And on page 134 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, says4:
“Glory! Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings (and Lord of lords).”
We have the promise that the Holy Spirit will come in human flesh at the Last Day.
And now, on page 277 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham says5:
“May the Holy Spirit come down now, the white-horse Rider, while His Spirit, Spirit of Christ, in the face of antichrist, and call His Own.”
Now, who is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? It is the Holy Spirit, in other words, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit.
And now, page 256 it says how He will come at the Last Day. It says6:
“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.”
And if we find that man, we will find the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who delivered the Hebrew people and led them for 40 years throughout the wilderness and brought them into the promised land; the Angel of the Covenant, of whom God said: “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place” or “to the land…” Let us see [Exodus 23:20]:
“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.
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.”
This same Angel of the Lord, who was made flesh and dwelt among the Hebrew people and was known by the name of Jesus, is the one who has been guiding His Church from age to age, and has been manifesting Himself through each one of those angel messengers as He had manifested Himself through the prophets of the Old Testament.
And now, for the Last Day, He will be manifested in the midst of His Church in His Angel Messenger of the Age of Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the Angel of whom He says: “I Jesus have sent mine Angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” Revelation 22, verse 16. Let us read it straight from the Bible; it says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
That is the Angel of Jesus Christ who comes at the Last Day in the Age of Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, through whom the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, will be manifested, through whom Jesus Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit in human flesh; and through that Angel Messenger, Jesus Christ will be speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet and He will be revealing to us all these things which must shortly be done at this end time.
Now, that Angel Messenger is not the Lord Jesus Christ, neither is he the prophet Moses or the prophet Elijah; but the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be manifested in that Angel, operating the ministries of Moses for the second time, Elijah for the fifth time and Jesus for the second time.
We have seen the mystery of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. It is the Coming of the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, coming in human flesh at the Last Day; it is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man, incarnate in His Angel Messenger of the Last Day, of the Age of Cornerstone; and through that Angel Messenger, through that prophet messenger, who is the prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom…
It is the first time Jesus Christ sends a dispensational prophet to His Church with a dispensational Message, with the Message of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to testify (with that Message) all these things which must shortly be done at this Last Day; and to make known to all the sons and daughters of God who are living in the time in which at any moment the door of mercy will be shut and the divine judgment opens, the wrath of God falls upon the human race.
But before that, the elect who live at this end time are being called and gathered together in the Age of Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and this Work is being carried out (where?) in Latin America and Caribbean at this end time. And if there is an elect who has gone to live to another territory, the Message will reach him there; it does not matter in which country he may be, the Message will reach him, the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Last Trumpet.
And now, notice that after the Seventh Trumpet, that Last Trumpet, after that Last Trumpet sounds, after it gives Its Message, the wrath of God will then fall upon the human race; but before that, all the elect of God are called and gathered together; and then, the dead in Christ will resurrect in eternal bodies and we who are alive will be changed, and we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, when will the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive occur? Christ, let us see when He said the resurrection of the dead in Christ will occur. In John, chapter 6, verse 40, says:
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
And the Last Day is the seventh millennium. That is the the Day of the Lord, wherein the dead in Christ will be resurrected and we who are alive will be changed; and that is also the day when the wrath of God will fall upon the human race.
Now, in which year of that seventh millennium? We do not know, but let us wait for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and our transformation to take place, and after that we will only be here for 30 to 40 days in that new body, and then we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
After that, the human race will only have three and a half years left, in which the wrath of God will fall upon the human race and the gentile kingdom will become of Christ; because the antichrist and his kingdom will be destroyed with the wrath of God, to give way for the establishment of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ on this planet Earth. And after those three and a half years of great tribulation, the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ will be established; and we will return to Earth, because we will leave before the divine judgments fall upon the Earth, before the wrath of God falls upon the Earth, we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
While the Earth is going through the judgments of the great tribulation, of the wrath of God being poured upon the Earth, we will be enjoying the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, in the House of our heavenly Father; but when those three and a half years end we will return to Earth and we will reign with Christ on this planet Earth for a thousand years, and we will reign with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ over all the Earth; because the Kingdom of Christ, the Messiah is upon the entire planet Earth.
The capital will be in the land of Israel, it will be Jerusalem, and the territory of Israel will be the Federal District; and from there, Christ, the Messiah, will rule over the Hebrew people and over all the nations.
Now, we have seen this mystery of the THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE WRATH OF GOD.
God’s mercy continues to be extended upon the human race; but there is little time left for God’s mercy, which has been extended for these past two thousand years upon the human race, upon the gentiles…; very soon the door of mercy will be shut and then, the divine judgment, the wrath of God, will fall upon the gentiles.
At any moment the number of God’s elect will be completed and Christ will have finished His work as Intercessor, He will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people and then, everything will be over for the gentiles. Then, God’s judgment will remove the gentile kingdom, and then the glorious Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of the Messiah, the Kingdom of Christ will be established upon this planet Earth.
We have seen that the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnate in a man, and He will be carrying out the Work pertaining to the Last Day, calling and gathering together the elect of God by showing them, revealing to them the mystery of all these things which must shortly be done at this end time.
With that Message of Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet revealing to them the mystery of His Coming, the elect of the Last Day are called and gathered together. When they hear that Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, they say: “This is what I was waiting for. I knew this came from God”; and there, in their souls, the children of God are awakened and they are called at this end time, so that soon the number of all of God’s elect of the Mystical Body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ be completed. After that, comes the wrath of God.
We desire God’s mercy for all the Latin American and Caribbean people, and that is why we make known to all the Latin American and Caribbean people God’s mercy, because we want all Latin America and the Caribbean to enter into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And we pray for all Latin America and the Caribbean as Latin American and Caribbean nations; and we also pray for all the inhabitants of all the Latin American and Caribbean countries, so that, as individuals, God may work in their souls and open their understanding in order to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of God pertaining to this end time, and take advantage of this short period of time we have left in which there is mercy in the Divine Program.
It has been a great privilege to be with you, kind friends and brethren present, radio listeners and television viewers, testifying to you about THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE WRATH OF GOD.
In talking to you about God’s wrath, I have done it with divine love, showing you that before God’s wrath falls, we still have the opportunity to receive God’s mercy; but once the person rejects God’s mercy, the only thing left is God’s wrath. Do not reject God’s mercy.
At this end time, God’s mercy is being manifested for the last time, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, and in Latin America, God is manifesting Himself and He is calling and gathering together all His elect at this end time. Take advantage of that blessing that God is pouring upon Latin America and the Caribbean, friend and brother on the radio and television, and those who are here present.
May God bless you, and may you all continue to have an evening filled with the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
