Good evening, kind and beloved friends and brethren and ministers present from other nations, from other countries; and also all those who are in other nations at this time hearing and seeing this service that is taking place in Cayey, Puerto Rico, in The Great Tent Cathedral, The Great Tent Cathedral church. May the blessing of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
We are in the Divine cycle in which the seven angels appeared on February 28, 1963,1 also on a Thursday. So, yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the appearance of those seven angels to Rev. William Branham. And today we are still enjoying that blessing.
Yesterday we were laying the foundation of The Great Tent Cathedral, whose construction has already begun; therefore, a great blessing began yesterday by laying the foundation of that construction of The Great Tent Cathedral, which will be a blessing not only for Puerto Rico but for many nations.
Therefore, let’s always pray for that project that is being carried out, you who are in Puerto Rico and those who are in other nations; and all ministers believers in Christ: be united in that great project whose construction has already begun.
We read in Saint Matthew chapter 24, verse 1 to 3; and then chapter 24 as well, verses 29 to 31. And it says the following:
“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
And now, chapter 24, verses 29 and on, says:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
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.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
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.”
Our subject for this occasion is: “THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN.”
In order to understand this mystery of the sign of the Son of man in heaven, we have to know that whenever God is going to do something on Earth, whenever He is going to do something on Earth He always shows it in heaven first. The Scripture contains countless cases like that.
For example, in the birth of Jesus, the sky testified that in the city of David there had been born a Savior, which is Christ the Lord; and even the angels came accompanied by the main Angel, who was surely the Archangel Gabriel, who had given Zacharias the Priest the good tidings: that he would have a son and he would be a prophet, he would be great in the sight of the Lord, and he would come preparing the way of the Lord, as the forerunner of the Messiah.2 Many were ignorant of this news.
Also, afterwards, some months later, around six months later, the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, and He gave her the news: that she would have a son, and that He would be called the Son of God, of the Highest, and that God would give Him the Throne of His father David. Saint Luke chapter 1, verses 5 to 38.
And then, in the same 1st chapter, verse 39 and on, Mary, after receiving that good news, which she believed, because she told Him—she asked the Angel: “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” the virgin Mary says to the Angel; and the Angel Gabriel tells her that the Holy Spirit will come and will overshadow her and she will conceive; and the Holy Thing that she will conceive will be called (what?) Son of the Highest; and He even gave her the Name she had to give that child.
Whenever God is going to do or does something, not everyone believes it and not everyone takes sides with what God is doing; because the enemy of God along with all those fallen angels that he won over, deceived, which were his army, they rise against the Divine Program and they attack It and smear It, and they attack It to death in all the different times.
Therefore, we have to understand that when God is going to do something, people will rise up against that Divine Program; but there will also be people who will hear and believe, because they are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life; those are the sheep that the Father gave Jesus to seek them and give them Eternal Life. 3
And now, we have the announcement from Heaven, when Gabriel comes down to give the good news to Zacharias the Priest and then to the virgin Mary. Also, when He is born in Bethlehem of Judea, the multitude of angels that came with the main Angel (who was surely Gabriel Himself), come singing, and with the Angel speaking to the shepherds: saying that a Savior had been born in Bethlehem of Judea and that—as a sign—they would find Him in a manger and wrapped in swaddling clothes.4
Notice how the heavenly hosts move to work in favor of the Divine Program, but the wicked hosts also move to fight against the Divine Program; that is why the devil is the adversary, Satan, the enemy of God; because he, Satan, wanted to be God, to be equal with God.
And now, we find that when the shepherds—when the wise men saw in their nation a Star in the sky… they studied the stars, and they knew that before God does something on Earth, He shows it in heaven or the sky; because that is the first Bible.
The second Bible is nature, also including the pyramid that is in Egypt, the main pyramid, which Rev. William Branham calls the pyramid of Enoch, the pyramid that Enoch built.5 And we have the third Bible here in letter form: the Bible. They all say the same thing.
That is why when the Scripture says there would come a Star out of Jacob (in the Book of Numbers),6 that Star is the Messiah. When we go to the written Bible… let’s see: Revelation chapter 22, verse 16:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
Now notice how Christ says that He is the Bright and Morning Star, represented in the morning star, which is still visible at dawn. It is the day star or morning star, of which Saint Peter also says: “When the day star or morning star,” (which is Christ), “rises in our hearts.”7
The Day Star is Christ, the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant; but when He was manifested on this Earth He was a Man called Jesus; and when we see Him in the Bible He is a Prophet, the promised Messiah; and when we see Him in heaven He is the Venus star, which represents Him.
He is the Angel of the Covenant, the Pillar of Fire that appeared to Moses and told him: “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”8 And now, it was God in that Pillar of Fire. And on one occasion Moses saw the Man who spoke with Him, He saw His back parts9: it was the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in His heavenly body.
And now, if someone reads the Scripture carefully, notice what it says… Since the Angel of the Covenant is Christ, the Holy Spirit: in Revelation chapter 7, it says that an Angel will come. Chapter 7, verse 1 and on, says:
“And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree,” (that it should not blow war).
In other words, the war is being held back because there is a Divine Program that must be carried out before that war takes place. Let’s see what it says here:
“And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God,” (the Seal of the living God is the Holy Spirit, It is the Angel of the Covenant; in other words, he had the Holy Spirit manifested in him), “and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.”
And it goes on listing each tribe and mentioning, saying, that there are 12,000 sealed of each of those tribes; and therefore, there are 144,000 (which is equal to 12,000 multiplied by 12).
Now we can see that this Angel comes with the Seal, he has the Seal of the living God, he has the Angel of the Covenant in him. That messenger comes with the Holy Spirit manifested in him to carry out that work, he comes with the Bright and Morning star.
And Revelation chapter 2, verses 26 to 29, says:
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations,” (what will He give him? Power over the nations):
“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”
As Christ, when He ascended to Heaven, received all power and all authority in Heaven and on Earth. Remember that He said: “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on Earth.” Saint Matthew chapter 28, verses 16 to 20.
“And I will give him the morning star.”
In other words, the Morning Star is given to the Overcomer; and the Morning Star is the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, Christ. In other words, he will come with Christ manifested in him, in the last manifestation of God through Christ in His Church; and he will also impact the Hebrew people, and 12,000 of each tribe will be called and gathered, 144,000 total, as firstfruits for God.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
With this same Spirit that speaks to the churches, each angel-messenger has come, in whom the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, has been manifested, to call and gather the chosen ones, the elect of each age, in each age.
And at the Last Day, in addition to the elect who will be called and gathered at the end time to complete the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, 144,000 Hebrews (12,000 of each tribe) will also be called; but they won’t belong to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as part of the Church, they are another group, who will go through the Great Tribulation; and the antichrist will send armies and carry out a great slaughter, he will kill them.
In Revelation chapter 6, the ones who died in the time of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, in that great genocide, where six million Hebrews, also called Jews, died; well, those are the ones who, in chapter 6, are crying out under the Fifth Seal. And it says [verse 9]:
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.”
They killed them because they were Jews. They killed them in gas chambers and they carried out that genocide in which there were about twenty million people of other nationalities as well, but among them six million Jews: the Jewish Holocaust or the Shoah. Those people are in a certain place and they cry to God; they are not lost. They cry to God. Notice how they cry:
“And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”
God will judge, God will avenge the blood of His people, of His chosen ones. His chosen people as an earthly nation is Israel.
“And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”
Another difficult situation is coming for Israel. One hundred and forty-four thousand, 12,000 of each tribe, who will hear God’s call to Israel, will be massacred, executed, like the Jews who were killed in the time of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin; up to the fourth generation prior to the generation in which they were living were considered Jews, who were sentenced to death.
And in addition to those 144,000, it is unknown how many more thousands or millions of Jews will die, due to the antichrist, who will send armies from the different nations that will be under his command, under his control. But God will avenge the blood of His servants. And that will be the Great Tribulation, the Day of Vengeance of our God.
Now, we have seen that this Angel who will call 144,000, comes with the Morning Star; therefore, he will shine for Israel with the ministry of the Two Olive Trees at this end time. And all those things are shown in the sky.
And now, the Coming of the Messiah; since Rev. William Branham is the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, with the Spirit and power of Elijah operated by the Holy Spirit in him, then the next prophet, in other words, the prophet sent by God to His Church and to the Hebrew people, in him will be the Holy Spirit, the Bright and Morning Star.
But that Star will also be seen in the West, among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because what is seen in the East will be in the West first; because the same sun that is in the West in the evening, at the end of the day and beginning of the new day, is the same sun that then rises in the East, in the Middle East; throughout the East, including China and all those places; Russia, Japan as well, all those places; and the territory of the Middle East.
Notice how Christ is typified, the Messiah, He is typified in the sun and He is typified in the morning star.
And now, God told Abraham that his seed would be like the stars of heaven;10 therefore, all those who are the seed of Abraham are represented in the sky.
The Messiah comes from the line of Abraham, from the seed of Abraham, that is why He had to be born in Bethlehem of Judea; and therefore, by physical birth He is Jewish and He is a descendant of Abraham; Son of Abraham, which is one of the “Son” titles that the Messiah has, just like He also has the title of Son of David, that is why He had to be born as a descendant of King David.
And now, we are seeing the Angel who comes with the Seal of the living God, who comes with the Holy Spirit, who comes with the Morning Star to Israel.
Therefore, in heaven we find the representation of what God will do on Earth among His Church and also among the Hebrew people. It appears in the sky first; and we find it in the Bible as well, the third Bible; and then we find it materialized at the relevant time.
Now, in terms of things that are seen in heaven, which are tied to Christianity and to Judaism, let’s see what Rev. William Branham said regarding a cloud, where, the ones who formed it, or what formed the cloud, were seven angels.
This was the cloud that appeared on February 28, on a Thursday, in 1963; which, when we rotate it to the right (facing you) you see the formation of the face of the Lord looking at the Earth and the light that was emitted before these angels who are forming this cloud.
Rev. William Branham was caught up to where they were. And if Rev. William Branham was there the moment they took this photograph, then there are eight angels; if he had already come down… because he was taken there in heavenly body, in spiritual body; and if he had already returned to his physical body, and therefore, to the Earth, then only the seven angels were there.
And those seven angels there, if we include Rev. William Branham, are the seven angels of the seven ages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, who were the ones who had received and had the revelation of God for each age, which they gave to the Church in the stage or age in which they were given to live; and therefore, they are the ones who represent all the believers of their age.
And Rev. William Branham going up to where those angels were, was the messenger of the seventh stage or age of the Church represented in the church of Laodicea in Asia Minor.
But there is an Angel who is very mysterious, of whom he says in the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals… the message or the series of messages that he preached pertaining to each Seal, including the introduction of two previous messages that were given or preached on March 17th, and then he began “The First Seal”: Monday, “Second Seal”: Tuesday, “Third Seal”: Wednesday, “Fourth Seal”: Thursday, “Fifth Seal”: Friday, “Sixth Seal”: Saturday, and “Seventh Seal”: Sunday; in the order of the seven ages.
Therefore, we find that there, in the preaching of The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, he was making known what happened throughout the history of the Church, he identified the Church of the Lord along with Her messengers as well, reiterating what he had taught in An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages; and he also identified the wicked one and the wicked one’s work against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But now, seeing what he said about these angels who appeared to him, he says that the most notable of them… and Saint Paul was a very notable messenger, he was the messenger to the Gentiles; but notice, there is One who is the most notable to Rev. William Branham. Page 545 of the Book of The Seals, says:
“275 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; lifted me up.’ You remember that? [‘Amen.’]
276 Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal.”
And the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord to His Church. He is, therefore, the most notable messenger of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, he is the One with the Seventh Seal.
For this reason, just like each messenger gave his Message in each—in the age in which he was given to live, each one in his age; the One with the Seventh Seal, the One with that mystery, is that Angel who was different from the rest; he is the One who has the mystery due to which, when It was opened in chapter 8 of Revelation, there was silence in Heaven. And we are going to meet him at the time appointed by God; because he is the One who has the Seventh Seal.
And when the Seventh Seal is opened, we are going to see the mystery of that Angel, the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which that Angel who is more notable than the rest has.
Let’s see what Rev. William Branham says, speaking on pages 156 and 157 of the Book of Quotations, paragraph 1401 [65-0801E – “Events Made Clear By Prophecy,” page 24, paragraph 129]. He says:
“129 Friends, this is the fulfillment of Malachi 4, Saint Luke 17, Saint John 15, oh, so many, Revelation 10, so many prophecies that can be pinned exactly to this day,” (in other words, there are many prophecies pinned to this time). “And also in the Book of Mark and in Matthew, where He said these great signs and wonders would appear in the sky, and people call them saucers, flying saucers, can—can vanish with the power and quickness of a thought, intelligence that can move in. He can write, He can speak, He can do whatever He wants to. The great Pillar of Fire, ‘the same yesterday, today, and forever.’ And sights coming upon the earth, pyramids of smoke rising into the air, way above where there cannot be no humidity nor nothing, thirty miles high.”
He is referring to these… to this picture, formed by those seven angels.
Then, in paragraph… That was paragraph 1401, in paragraph 1402 [“Events Made Clear By Prophecy,” page 26, paragraph 139], it says:
“[139] You said, ‘As it was in the days of Sodom,’ the world would be in that condition just before the destruction of the Gentile world, the Gentile dispensation. Here we are…”
And what is that condition? It says:
“[139] … Sodomites to the core! And then You said that the Son of man, which is always referred to as a ‘prophet,’ would be revealed in that hour.”
When the Son of man is mentioned, that is referring to a man, a prophet sent by God.
And now, let’s see something else here. Page 165, paragraph 1471, an excerpt of the message “Trying To Do God A Service Without It Being God’s Will” [page 28]. This was preached on November 27, 1965 (about one month before he left, departed this Earth). Let’s see:
“[212] That wasn’t Elijah; That was the Spirit of God on Elijah; Elijah was just a man. Now, we’ve had Elijahs, and Elijahs’ coats, and Elijahs’ mantles, and Elijahs’ everything,” (meaning, many impersonators). “But the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Matthew the seventeen-…Luke 17:30, is, the Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people. Not a man, God!” (Meaning, God in a man). “But it’ll come through a prophet…”
In other words, the manifestation of the Son of man is the manifestation of God through His Spirit in and through a man.
“[212] But it’ll come through a prophet. Now, He never had two major prophets at the same time, never, in the world.”
In Rev. William Branham we saw a manifestation of the Son of man, a manifestation of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in a veil of flesh called William Marrion Branham. That was a manifestation of the Son of man, Christ revealing Himself through a prophet, which was the messenger of the seventh stage of the Church.
And notice what it says on pages 22 and 23, paragraph 183, of this Book of Quotations, with excerpts of messages of Rev. William Branham (preached in 1958, titled: “The Called-Out”) [pages 9-10]. Notice what it says:
“[24] The Son of man is now being revealed from heaven.
‘Will it come after while, Brother Branham?’
It is now. And I hope I won’t have to make this so personal of this own meeting, but that your spirit within you that’s give you by God, can read what I’m talking about. The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy…”
He was revealing Himself through Rev. William Branham.
When the Coming of the Son of man is mentioned, that is referring to a veil of flesh, a prophet, in which God is in Holy Spirit, operating the ministry relevant to that time.
“[24] … showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth…”
You can see from the messages of Rev. William Branham, and some people who may have seen Rev. William Branham when he was on Earth, the way that God used him. What Jesus Christ did, He preached and healed the sick, and great miracles would take place; we saw the same thing under the ministry of the Holy Spirit in Rev. William Branham.
“[24] … showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham, before the destruction.”
Before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah He also revealed Himself to Abraham and ate with Abraham, had lunch with Abraham.11 Elohim (God Himself in a physical body) and also two Angels (which are the Archangel Michael and the Archangel Gabriel) were there, they were three People from another dimension. They were visitors, who were visiting Abraham, and they were what we call flying saucers, but those are angels who come there for a purpose.
And when those Archangels Gabriel and Michael appear, something major is going to happen.
In chapter 12 of Daniel it says that at that time Michael shall stand up, the great Prince which stands for the children of Daniel’s people, and then “there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was”: then comes the time of the Great Tribulation, which is the time of “Jacob’s trouble” and all of mankind’s trouble. And these things are going to happen; they are hard to hear, but their fulfillment will be even harder.
Therefore, we must all be holding on tight to Christ, eating—having supper with Christ at this end time—the Bread of Eternal Life, the Word. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears My Voice, and opens the door, I will sup with him, and he with Me.”12 That is the Divine Promise.
And now:
“[24] He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church.”
He was revealing Himself in mercy through William Branham to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, all in mercy; that is why there was the opportunity for altar calls to receive Christ as Savior. It says:
“[24] … It’s being laughed at and scoffed at.”
In other words, all those who spoke against Rev. William Branham, against his ministry and the things he did, were scoffing and mocking, laughing at Christ, who was manifesting Himself through Rev. William Branham. As simple as that.
Because just like God was in Jesus Christ revealing Himself in all His fullness, in whom He put His power, then Christ since the day of Pentecost has been manifesting Himself in His Church, revealing Himself to His Church in mercy, in the Dispensation of Grace, which is a dispensation of mercy, where people are offered or given the opportunity, making known to them that there is an opportunity for salvation and Eternal Life.
That is why Christ says: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me, and I know them, and I give unto them Eternal Life; and no man shall pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.” Saint John chapter 10, verses 27 to 30.
And now, Christ Himself in Holy Spirit has been manifesting Himself in His Church, for He said: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Saint Matthew chapter 28, verse 20.
And now, he goes on to say [“The Called-Out”]:
“[24] The next time He reveals Hisself…”
There we have the promise that He will reveal Himself again. He revealed Himself in the seventh age through Rev. William Branham, but now He comes to reveal Himself again at this end time to His Church; therefore, another age that is higher up must come forth: That is the Golden Age of the Church, mentioned by Rev. William Branham as the Age of the Cornerstone, the age of and for the adoption of the Church and for the adoption of each believer as an individual, which is the redemption of the body for the believers in Christ, for those who died to be raised in eternal bodies and put in eternal bodies in His Church, along with those who will be alive and will be changed. And that is when the Church will be complete.
That is why the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age of the Church, is so important: because it is the stage where Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, in Holy Spirit, will be revealing Himself as the Son of man; and therefore, it will be as it was in Rev. William Branham, but it will no longer be through Rev. William Branham.
“[24] The next time He reveals Hisself, it’ll be in judgment on the world and the nations that’s forgot God and sinned their way of grace—their day of grace, rather, away.”
Therefore, we must be aware of God’s promises for our time, so that we don’t miss the fulfillment of what He has promised, just like people missed the coming of John the Baptist as forerunner and the Coming of Jesus as the Messiah.
It was prophesied that it would be that way, that they would be blind and they wouldn’t see Him,13 except for some people; and it is also prophesied that the Laodicean Age, represented in the Church of Laodicea in Asia Minor, will be blind.14
Therefore, His Coming, the Coming of the Lord, will blind some people, but it will open the eyes of other people. That is a greater miracle than literally opening the eyes of a blind person! That is why it always says in Revelation, at the end of the Message of each age: “He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”15
It is the Holy Spirit speaking through the messenger in each age what they have to hear and believe in each age.
That is also how it will be for the Age of the Cornerstone: The Holy Spirit will be speaking to His Church again, opening the mystery of the Seventh Seal to Her, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, the mystery because of which there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour, the mystery that Christ said not even the angels in Heaven knew.16
That is why in Revelation chapter 8, when that Seventh Seal was opened, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour. The angels didn’t know what that mystery of the Second Coming of Christ was, and when it was opened in Heaven, that is when they knew it; but they were forbidden to speak, to make known that mystery; there was silence in Heaven, everyone was quiet.
And when it says “there was silence in Heaven”: not even worship, nor songs, nothing; silence for about half an hour, so that the enemy wouldn’t be aware of, wouldn’t know that mystery; because if he knows it—if he knew it he would cause a lot of damage, meaning, he would imitate what the Second Coming of Christ will be.
You have already seen that before the Lord came, two thousand years ago, there were impersonators, the enemy used impersonators: Theudas and Judas, who came before Jesus and many people believed that they, that each one in his time was the Messiah; and they died and everything ended.17 That is what they thought of Jesus, that He was another like Theudas and Judas; but He was the true Messiah.
There can’t be an imitation if there isn’t something original; because if someone says that something is an imitation, there has to be an original.
And Christ warned that there would come many false prophets and false christs, in other words, false anointed ones, saying that they are the Anointed One, the Christ, to try to deceive, if it were possible, the elect;18 but the elect will not be deceived, they will know the truth, they will know the Seventh Seal, they will know the mystery of the Angel who was different from the rest, who was in this constellation of angels; and that is the One who will bring that revelation.
And around the manifestation of God in Holy Spirit through him, we will know the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the Son of man at this end time.
Of all the angels, including Rev. William Branham, who were in that constellation of angels, all those angels in their heavenly bodies had already been manifested in a veil of human flesh; and of the messengers, there was still… and they were the messengers of the seven Church ages, that is why Rev. William Branham had to be lifted up to that constellation; and he was lifted by the Angel who was different from the rest. He was the One who picked him up.
And at that time, the manifestation of that Angel who was different from the rest, who has the Seventh Seal, had still not been carried out in human flesh among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, as the fulfillment relevant to and in the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the Angel who is connected to the Age of the Cornerstone.
And now, I think we cannot speak more clearly, so that the enemy doesn’t impersonate; but when the mystery of the Seventh Seal is opened, it will give the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and that pertains to the Third Pull.
Rev. William Branham says that the Third Pull will be in a Great Tent Cathedral, and there we have the vision he had, where the Angel told him: “That will be the Third Pull.”19 That is where the mystery of the Seventh Seal will be revealed, the mystery of the Angel with the Seventh Seal will be revealed, as well as all the relevant things that the Seven Thunders spoke in Revelation chapter 10, and which John was forbidden to write; but that will be opened at this time under the Message pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone.
Rev. William Branham tells us in different places, and especially in the Book of The Seals, that when God promises something great, its fulfillment is in a simple way; and he says that this is how the Seventh Seal will be. But that it will be like John the Baptist and like Jesus, that is what the Seventh Seal will be like.20 It was simple back then and it will be simple at this end time.
In the days of Jesus they were living in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age for and of the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Son of man, in the way that pertains to the manifestation of the Son of man.
In the sky we have seen those stars of each age: the seven messengers of the seven ages, and a messenger, an Angel, different from the rest, who was the most notable, the One who lifted up Rev. William Branham. And that speaks of a rapture, where he was lifted to be with those angels who appeared to him; and then he preached The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, there in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
So, now knowing about these mysteries, and that God shows in heaven what He is going to do later on Earth, those angels in and for the Third Pull will come; for they are the angels of the seven ages of the Church plus the one who was different from the rest, which must necessarily be the One that pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone; that is where that manifestation will take place. For which, something great is fixing to happen.
And in the fulfillment of the Vision of the Great Tent Cathedral, the mysteries contained in the Seven Thunders of Revelation will be opened, which will give the believers in Christ the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Remember that the physical body that God has used from Genesis to Revelation, is always a veil of flesh in whom God manifests Himself, a man of this Earth; but the One who enters into it is Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, to speak to His Church and make known to them what they need for their age.
Therefore, the great One is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant; but His fulfillment is in simplicity: always through a simple instrument, as the prophets, the messengers of the Lord, have been during the different stages or ages.
When the Seventh Seal opens, we will know if the Seventh Seal starts at that moment or if it already has a history.
Likewise, when Christ was baptized by John the Baptist, it started there, after the 40 days of fasting the ministry of Jesus as the Messiah, as the One anointed with the Pillar of Fire, started there; but He had a history of about 29 and a half years, nearly 30 years; it says that He was about 30 years old when He was baptized.21
In other words, 29 and a half years of history, which we know through the Scripture: the Angel Gabriel’s visitation to Mary, the birth, the conception and birth of Jesus, His years as a child and as a young man; it says He increased in stature and wisdom, and in knowledge, knowledge of God.22
And there is a time, from the age of 12 and on, of which we don’t have clear information about that time.
But don’t worry, the most important thing is to know that Jesus is the Messiah and that He died for us on Calvary’s Cross, and that He has cleansed us from all sin with His Blood because we have received Him as our only and sufficient Savior.
And now, the Church’s hope to not go through the Great Tribulation and to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb—and being changed first—is in the Second Coming of Christ; because “our conversation,” (Saint Paul says), “is in Heaven, from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His body.”
Therefore, for the transformation and rapture we need the Coming of the Lord. Without His Coming there will be no transformation nor rapture.
[Philippians 3:20-21] “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
That is the power He will use for our transformation.
That is why the Prophet Elijah was taken in a chariot of fire or flying saucer.23 Enoch… Enoch was also taken by God and he did not see death.24 Elijah was taken by God and he did not see death. Christ died, rose, and was taken to Heaven, and He sat on the Throne of God.
And the transformation and catching away to Heaven, of the believers in Christ, to be in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, is coming soon; and that is in the Coming of the Lord to His Church to give us an immortal, incorruptible, and glorified body like His glorified body.
And what we have desired so much, to see Jesus in person, will become a reality when we are changed: we are going to see Him in His glorified body. But in the meantime, we have been seeing Him in a human body of each messenger, manifesting Himself in each age, and speaking to His people, to His Church.
And those who heard the Message of their age, which came through Christ in Holy Spirit in the messenger of each age, were hearing the Voice of the Holy Spirit, the Voice of Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, in the midst of the seven candlesticks, which represent each Church age.
“THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN.” We have seen this sign; and if there is any other sign that must be seen, we are going to see it too.
And the most important thing is that when you see the signs in heaven or the sky, then on Earth you have to look for what that sign represents, what it represents for the Church and what it represents for the human family.
It is important to know the sign of the Son of man, to be aware of these and other signs that are promised to be seen in heaven.
There is the spiritual Heaven, where there is also the spiritual Temple, which is the Church, and where all the believers in Christ are stars, represented in stars; and the messengers: are bigger stars, which have also been represented in the sky.
“THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN.”
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you, and may He fill us with the knowledge of His Program pertaining to this time; and in the Coming of the Son of man at the Last Day, may we be able to see Him, to recognize Him, in His last manifestation.
He will be in the fulfillment of the Great Tent Cathedral, and the other messengers that appeared in those ages and appeared in that cloud of Angels, will also be there.
And one already said he will be there, which was Rev. William Branham.
The Angel told him: “I’ll meet you there.”
When He spoke to him and showed him the Vision of the Tent Cathedral and showed him a little room, the Angel said to him… He took him to that little place, he saw a name there, and the Angel told him: “Remember the Name you tried to remember when you were there?”25 And he reminded him. Most likely it was the new Name of the Lord, because he was forbidden to talk about that.
So, the fulfillment of the Tent Vision is going to be very important, and especially what will be inside the little room and what will be happening in that little room.
It was already said that the Pillar of Fire, which is the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in Holy Spirit, will be there; and the Angel who accompanied Rev. William Branham said he will be there. So, we already have confirmed: Rev. William Branham, the Angel who accompanied Rev. William Branham, and the Pillar of Fire, who is Christ.
So, there are already three important people that we already know will be in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; and especially, in a very special little room, which is the closet, the secret place, of which Christ says: “When you pray, enter into your closet (in the secret chamber, in your closet; in Song of Solomon it would be the king’s chamber),26 and pray to your Heavenly Father, who is in Heaven, who sees you, who listens; and He will reward you openly.”27
So, the Angel is already showing Rev. William Branham something there, about how things will be over there. And no one will know or see what is happening, only the result, the public reward that will be manifested by God; because even the ones who entered into that place and came out well, receiving the blessing (the ones who had gone to seek their healing, even they didn’t know how it happened).
So, something great is being prepared by God, which is already promised: it is the most important part of the Divine Program, which crowns the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It has been a great blessing to be with you in this vigil or half vigil. I think we haven’t reached the half-vigil yet because it would have to be at 12:00 midnight, but getting this far is fine; and we will continue on Sunday morning, God willing.
“THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN.”
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be with all of you and with me too. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Continue having a joyful evening, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
I will leave Rev. José Benjamín Pérez with you to conclude.
“THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN.”
