Good afternoon, beloved brethren and friends present here in Allende; it is a great blessing to be with you at this moment to greet you and ask God for His blessings to be upon each one of you.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ our Savior be upon each one of you and upon me as well, and may He allow us to comprehend His Program, His Word relevant to this end time.
Saint Paul says in Ephesians, chapter 2, verses 19 to 22:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
The subject for this greeting and these words is: “THE SEVENTH SEAL FINISHING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST.”
The Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of Christ; and the Book of the Seven Seals appears in Revelation, chapter 5, verse 1 and on, which was taken by the Lamb, Christ; and in Revelation, chapter 6, the Book of the Seals was opened, the six seals were opened; and in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1, the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven.
The Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, that is why when the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven there was silence for about half an hour, so that way no one knew, and the enemy of God, the devil, would not know the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is, to not learn the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ so that he could not interrupt the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ.
For with the Second Coming of Christ, with the Seventh Seal being fulfilled, being opened in terms of its fulfillment here on Earth, the completion of the construction of the Mystical Body of Christ is carried out, which is His Church.
Notice how Saint Paul tells us:
“And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord…”
That Holy Temple in the Lord is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as Mystical Body of believers.
“In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Now notice how this spiritual Temple of Christ grows, from age to age, while Christ is manifested in each age through the messenger of each age, and He calls and gathers together His elect of each age; which is represented in this diagram: here we have the Church of Jesus Christ represented in this diagram, we have the seven ages of the gentile Church during the Dispensation of the Grace and then we have the Age of the Cornerstone for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, for this end time; and here we also have the messengers of each one of those ages and here we also have the churches of Asia Minor, which those seven ages of the gentile Church represented; and here are the virtues that were manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ among the gentiles.
Here, in this diagram, is the entire Program of God that would be carried out in the Temple of Jesus Christ, which is His Church, from age to age. Where? Notice, when it began it was among the gentiles, when it began it was only this stage, then when the second age arrived…; the first one was fulfilled in Asia Minor and Saint Paul was the messenger; then the second was fulfilled in France and its messenger was Irenaeus.
And now notice how already for the second age the Church grew another stage, it ascended, it was growing and the elect were called and gathered, and thus that second stage of the Church of Jesus Christ among the gentiles was formed; therefore, for the second age it was already greater, higher, that temple was higher up.
It is like beginning the construction of a literal temple, an establishment: one begins with the ground; the temple was started but there is only a floor, there is the foundation; then one continues with the walls, and when the first blocks are placed then the first stage of the walls was placed; and then, when a second line of blocks is placed, then the second stage was placed; when a third row of blocks is placed, then the third stage was placed; and so on, until you reach the highest part of that wall.
It came from stage to stage, and that is how the Church of Jesus Christ has come: from stage to stage until reaching the seventh age of the gentile Church. The first stage in Asia Minor, and Saint Paul was the messenger; the second in France, and Irenaeus was the messenger; the third in Hungary and France, and Martin was the messenger; the fourth in Ireland and Scotland, and Columba was the messenger; the fifth in Germany, and Luther was the messenger; the sixth was in England, and Wesley was the messenger; the seventh in North America, and William Branham was the messenger.
And notice, here we have the Church of Jesus Christ already raised, let us say, in its four walls; but now it lacks the ceiling, which is the Age of the Cornerstone. And now Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit moves on to Latin America and the Caribbean to crown His Church, to place the ceiling of His Church, place the Age of the Cornerstone on her, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ, just as the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church pertain to the Holy Place of the Temple of Jesus Christ.
Just like we have an outer court, holy place and most holy place in the temple (the temple that Moses built and also the temple that Solomon built): the Outer Court is from Adam to Christ, the Holy Place is from Christ to this end time, until Reverend William Branham, and the Most Holy Place is the time in which we were granted to live.
And now notice how in Latin America and the Caribbean is that the Age of the Cornerstone is fulfilled, with which Christ crowns His Mystical Body of believers, He crowns it with an eternal age, a perfect age, the Age of the Cornerstone, which represents the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ.
And now, we have also seen that for the construction of this spiritual Temple, God has been calling and gathering together His children from age to age, because it is a Temple built, not with literal stones, nor literal wood, nor literal badger skins, of animals, but rather with living stones, human beings; just as Jesus Christ, the Headstone that the builders rejected, is a living Stone, it is a man who came in the midst of the Hebrew people as the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah, the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ.
And now, the rest of the stones that would be part of that spiritual Temple, notice how they have been called and gathered and placed in the construction of the spiritual Temple of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, we have seen that there are seven stages or ages already built and they pertain to the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And now we are in the construction of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, with human beings as well.
Why is it a Temple built with human beings? Because the human being has been created by God to be a Temple of God, and that is why the Mystical Body of Christ is composed of human beings whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world.
And just as there was a territory for each stage of the gentile Church in the stage of the Holy Place, there is also a territory for the stage of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ. And what is the territory? Latin America and the Caribbean, where God is calling and gathering together all His elect at this end time.
The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ speaking to us about the Seventh Seal, tells us who the Seventh Seal is.
When he speaks to us about this mysterious cloud that appeared in 1963, on February 28, he tells us that this cloud was formed by angels of God who came, and one of them caught him away to heaven and placed him in the midst of these angels, in this constellation that was photographed and formed this cloud, a cloud of angels of God: the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church and the Messenger here, the Angel who was different from the rest, who comes for the Age of the Cornerstone.
If we turn this photograph to the right, we will see that this cloud formed by angels forms the face of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, there was an Angel who was different from the rest, who stood out more, which is this one flying here. If we turn the photo like this, notice, it is this Angel who is here</em>; the other angels of the seven ages, notice, are here, forming the beard of the Lord, but the white hair of the Lord is formed by the Angel who was different from the rest.
Let us see what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said about this Angel who was different from the rest; page 469 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, it says1:
“And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up…’”
Which of the angels was the one who lifted Reverend William Branham and took him to that constellation of angels? He was taken in his theophanic body, in spirit to that constellation of angels. Now, notice, he says:
“I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up (Which one is the one who lifted him up? The Angel who was different from the rest).’
Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant, for one time in life!”
Now notice that this Angel who was different from the rest is the one who has the Seventh Seal. And just as the seven angels of the seven ages of the gentile Church, in order to have their ministries and Christ be manifested through each of these messengers of the seven ages, and Christ through them call and gather together the elect of each age, those angels had to come in human flesh…, in other words, those angel messengers of God came dressed in human flesh and had their ministries here on Earth.
And for the Angel who was different from the rest, who has the Seventh Seal, in order to have his ministry and the Seventh Seal be fulfilled here on Earth, he must come manifested in human flesh, to thus fulfill the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19, of which the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said that it would be the Word incarnated, where? In a man, he says [Seals, page 256]2:
“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, that veil of flesh chosen by God for the Word to be incarnate in him, then we will be finding the Word, the Angel of the Covenant coming in human flesh, manifested in human flesh at the Last Day; we will be seeing the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 manifested in human flesh, whose name is the Word of God; and therefore, we will be finding the Angel who was different from the rest, manifested in human flesh, carrying out the Work relevant to the Last Day.
We will find him making known to us all these things that must happen soon, he will be speaking to us with that Great Voice of Trumpet that John heard in the Day of the Lord in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, where the apostle Saint John tells us the following, and I want to read it so that we have a clear picture of what we are talking about on this occasion. Chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, says:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
Who is the Alpha and Omega? Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. It is in the Day of the Lord, which is the seventh millennium, that John heard this voice as a trumpet, a great voice like a trumpet. John was transported in spirit to the Day of the Lord, that is, the seventh millennium.
One day before the Lord is as a thousand years for human beings. When it is spoken about one day before the Lord, it is being spoken about a millennium for human beings; because one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and one thousand years as one day, says Second Peter, chapter 3 and verse 8; and prophet Moses also says in Psalm 90 and verse 4, that one day is as a thousand years.
And now, two thousand years for human beings have passed from Christ until now, and for God only two days have passed, because one day before the Lord is as a thousand years and two days is as two thousand years. And now, the last days before the Lord, for the human beings they are the last millenniums, which are: fifth millennium, sixth millennium and seventh millennium; and Christ for the Last Day promised that He will resurrect the dead in Christ.
Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ says, making this promise according to how the Father already determined it since before the foundation of the world, He says: Chapter 6, verse 40 [John]:
“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.”
For when is the resurrection of the dead in Christ promised? For the Last Day, which is the last millennium, that is, the seventh millennium; that is the Day of the Lord.
And now, John heard the Voice of Christ, when? In the Day of the Lord, because John was transported to the Day of the Lord, in other word, the seventh millennium; and that is the Great Voice of Trumpet or Final Trumpet of which Saint Paul speaks in First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 55, that will sound and the dead in Christ will resurrect first, and then we which are alive will be transformed.
Also in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13 to 17, Saint Paul also speaks to us of that Trumpet of God; and he tells us that the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with Acclamation, with Voice of Archangel and with Trumpet of God.
And what will happen with the people that are living here on Earth? Let us see what Saint Paul says:
“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
Now, notice how he speaks to us of that Trumpet of God and he also speaks to us about the Voice of Archangel and he also speaks to us about that Acclamation; he speaks to us about all those wonderful things that are promised to happen at this end time: he speaks to us about the Voice of Command, the Voice of Archangel and Trumpet of God.
And now, we have seen that that Trumpet is the Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing the mystery of the Seventh Seal, in other words, revealing the mystery of the Coming of the Lord with His Angels. That is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, that is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
And that mystery being revealed to the sons and daughters of God produces the gathering of the elect of God and produces the completion of the construction of the spiritual Temple of Christ; because with that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revealing the mystery of the Coming of the Lord as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, it is revealing the mystery of the Coming of the Angel who was different from the rest, which is Christ coming at the Last Day manifested in human flesh, making known to us through that manifestation in human flesh, making known to us all these things that must happen soon, as He said in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1, saying:
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
The things that must happen after the ones that have already happened in the seven ages of the gentile Church. In other words: “Come up hither (to the Age of the Cornerstone), and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter”</em>; after “these” that have happened in the seven ages of the gentile Church, now He is going to show us the things that must happen in the Age of the Cornerstone, at the Last Day, that is, in the Day of the Lord.
And now, notice how this revelation of all these things that must happen soon is made known, it is spoken by Christ through His Angel Messenger. 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 does He send? His Angel Messenger. What for? To show His servants, what things? The things that must happen soon, which are the things that Christ said He would make known to all of us who would ascend to where He is speaking
So going up to the Age of the Cornerstone we hear the Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel, the Angel who was different from the rest, speaking through His Angel Messenger all these things that must happen soon; and thus the final call of Christ is carried out for the formation of the part of the Mystical Body of Christ that pertains to this Last Day, which is the part of the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple; which is built through Latin America and the Caribbean ⏤at this Last Day⏤ through the Voice of Christ, that creative Word, the Voice of Christ calling and gathering together His elect and placing them, where? In the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And what is formed by calling them and placing them there? The Age of the Cornerstone, because those stages or ages of the Church form with human beings; human beings are the ones who form this spiritual Temple, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. An age cannot be formed if it is not with human beings, because these ages of the gentile Church are stages of the Church of Jesus Christ, the stages of the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, notice with whom Christ is forming, creating, building the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, to soon the construction of His spiritual Temple be completed; because the construction of His spiritual Temple is complete with the construction of the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, where the elect of this Last Day are called and gathered; it is completed with human beings. And this is under the Seventh Seal, because it is the Seventh Seal finishing the construction of the Mystical Body of Christ.
And the Seventh Seal is the Angel who was different from the rest, it is Christ coming at the Last Day manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger, calling and gathering together His elect with the Great Voice of Trumpet and placing them, where? In His Mystical Body of believers, in the Age of the Cornerstone, just as He did in each age through His manifestation through each angel messenger. He called and gathered His elect of each age, where? In the age relevant to the time in which He made the call through human flesh through the messenger of each age.
And now, at this end time, He calls the last elect of God, the last human beings who would be called and gathered, for the construction of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ to be completed; to thus, through the Seventh Seal, the Angel who was different from the rest, manifested in human flesh in the Angel of Jesus Christ, carry out the completion of the construction of that Temple.
How is it carried out? By Him building the part that is left at this end time, which is the part of the Age of the Cornerstone; the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ. And that is THE SEVENTH SEAL FINISHING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST.
Notice how it is for the Last Day the completion of the construction of the Mystical Body of Christ is carried out, which is the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is His Church.
It has been a great privilege to be with you testifying to you about this mystery: THE SEVENTH SEAL FINISHING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST, in other words, finishing the construction of the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, finishing the construction of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We have seen who the Seventh Seal is: It is the Angel who was different from the rest, which is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant coming at the Last Day, not to the seven ages but to the Age of the Cornerstone, coming in human flesh in His Angel Messenger to thus carry out the completion of the construction of His spiritual Temple, for the dead in Christ to resurrect in eternal bodies and us who are alive be transformed.
We must be where? In that spiritual Temple. The construction of that Temple must be completed in order for Christ to leave the Throne of Intercession; because when it is completed, Christ makes intercession for the last elect that enters in the Last Day, and then He leaves the Throne of Intercession to reclaim everything He has redeemed with His Blood and thus reclaim that spiritual Temple, resurrect the dead in Christ who belong to that Temple and change those who are alive in Christ who will be here on Earth and belong to the Most Holy Place, to the Age of the Cornerstone of that spiritual Temple.
And where are the elect of God, the firstborn of God who form the Most Holy Place, the Age of the Cornerstone of the spiritual Temple of Jesus Christ? Well here we are: In Latin America and the Caribbean, here in the Republic of Mexico… There is a big group in the entire Mexican Republic because in the different nations, in the different cities of the Mexican Republic and different communities, there are elect of God. In this Mexican nation, there are many people of Jesus Christ, there are many elect of God, firstborn of God who will become part of the Mystical Body of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone, for the Mystical Body of Christ to be complete, the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So there is also many people in other Latin American and Caribbean nations, many people whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and who would come to form part of the spiritual Temple of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Age of the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple, for the construction of the Temple of Jesus Christ to be complete, that construction be finished, to finish building the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, which is His Church, and thus the construction be complete, the creation of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It has been a great privilege to be with you testifying to you about: “THE SEVENTH SEAL FINISHING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST.”
May God continue blessing you all, may God keep you; and continue having an afternoon filled with the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and may you all have a good afternoon.
I leave the minister with you again to continue and conclude everything they have for this afternoon, since we also have to leave to the place we have the next activity, which is how many minutes from here? Two hours away, so we must be leaving.
May God bless you, may God keep you. And onward in the Mystical Body of Christ, because Christ is building the Most Holy Place of this spiritual Temple with Latin Americans and Caribbean!
God bless you and keep you, and with us again the pastor, the minister here.
“THE SEVENTH SEAL FINISHING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST.”
