Good morning, ministers and ministers’ wives, and evangelists and collaborators, gathered this morning here in Trujillo, Peru. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share a few moments with you around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time.
For which I want to read in the book of Acts, chapter 3, verse 18 to 23, where it says:
“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
We have the promise here, of times of refreshment, and we also have the promise of the Coming of the Lord, and we also have the promise of the restoration of all things.
Our subject for this occasion is “THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY.” And what is it for? For the restoration of all things; for the restoration of the sons and daughters of God to eternal life, from where the human being fell in the Garden of Eden.
Throughout every stage or age of the Church we have had a spiritual refreshment, a spiritual revival, a spiritual awakening, and that has been a time of spiritual rest; and when one says “spiritual rest” one speaks of a spiritual revival.
Just like the planet Earth – or the land that God gave the Hebrew people: every 7 years the seventh year was a year of rest for the land, it was a year of refreshment for the land, it was a sabbatical year for the land, like so for 49 years. In 49 years there were 7 years of rest for the land, every 7 years the seventh year was the year of rest.
And after those 49 years, where there were 7 years of rest for the land, comes the 50th year, which is also the year of rest for the land, and it is a time where everything is restored to its original owner; it is the time of the restoration of all things. It is the time where the inheritance is restored to each child of God, it is the time where the property of each child of God is restored, it is the time where every person of the Hebrew people who had been taken as a slave —due to some debt or because of some sale they made with him— is restored to his family, his house and his inheritance, because that year of the jubilee is the year of the restoration of all things.
And that year of restoration of all things represents the time of the Age of the Cornerstone, after the 7 festive years that the land had in 49 years. Those 7 festive years pertain to the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church: time of refreshment, of spiritual blessing during these two thousand years that have passed, where seven stages or ages of the gentile Church have been fulfilled.
But now comes the Year of Jubilee, the year of the restoration of all things being updated in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, for all to be restored to the Word of God, to all be restored to eternal life with an eternal body, to all be restored to God; so that all may be completely reconciled, not only spiritually but physically as well.
Our physical bodies will be reconciled with God because we will have a new body, an eternal and glorified body like the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And then we will see our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified body, because we will have a glorified body like His own body.
And now, for this end time is that this spiritual awakening is promised for the restoration of the children of God to eternal physical life as well, from which Adam fell in the Garden of Eden.
Now, He has an order for all things that God has promised, and He does not move from that order; and according to that order is that He carries out His Program in each time; and when one enters into that divine order one receives the spiritual awakening for the time in which the person is living.
Now, we have had seven great spiritual awakenings in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ after the Day of Pentecost and after the apostles who accompanied Jesus; then Saint Paul came, and was sent to the gentiles, and among the gentiles there was the first revival of the Church of Jesus Christ, among the gentiles there in Asia Minor; and then those revivals continued from age to age, when God sent the messenger of each age.
Now, we can see that every revival in every age has come when God has sent the messenger of that age, with the creative Word of God for that age, to call and gather the elect of that age. In that revival or spiritual awakening all the elect of God of that time, of that age are called and gathered together.
And now, notice how all this has been fulfilled during these two thousand years, from age to age, until the Laodicean Age is fulfilled, which is the seventh age of the gentile Church.
And now, the Reverend William Branham wonders on one occasion… We have it here, the question that he asks himself, and he answers it himself; that question is contained in the message “God’s Only Provided Place of Worship,” page 1 and 2. And here we have the excerpt, in the book of Quotations, page 166, verse 1485, where it tell us1:
“Now, there’s… I was… getting pretty old, and I thought, ‘Will I… Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’”
What is he talking about here? About a revival, about a spiritual awakening.
“‘Will I… Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”
Now, when he speaks of a coming revival after the seventh gentile Church age, after the seventh revival that pertains to the seventh gentile Church age, to which God sent the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ…
And you see, through the forerunner came a great revival in the midst of Christianity, in the days of the Reverend William Branham, and that was the awakening for the seventh stage or age of the gentile Church; but then he announces that another revival will come. Therefore, he is the forerunner, the one that prepares the way for the next revival and for the next messenger that will come with that revival.
And now, he shows us he is a Rider on a white horse. That is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. That is Jesus Christ coming in Holy Spirit at the Last Day, the Holy Spirit coming for the Last Day.
Now, let’s see how also in the book of The Seals, page 134, it says, let’s see, and 131… First we read page 131, of the book of The Seals, where it says2:
“283. And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.
284. It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church.”
There has to be something for that change of the Church to come, both the change of age as well as a change of dispensation, as a change of our mortal bodies, to obtain an immortal, incorruptible body, and to be caught up to Heaven and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
“284. There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, ‘No man knowed, but Himself.’ Now, notice, ‘No man knowed, but Hisself.’
‘And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God.’ Oh, my! Notice!
‘And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’
Revelation 19:13-16
285. There comes the Messiah. There He is.”
And in that same page, further down says3:
“289. …but Christ is called ‘The Word of God.’ That’s what He is. He is called that. Now He’s got a Name that no man knows; but He’s called, ‘The Word of God.’”
And he continues saying:
“291. Christ has a sharp Sword, and, watch, It comes from His mouth. The living Word, that’s, Word of God revealed to His servants. Like He said to Moses, ‘Go, stand there, and hold that stick out yonder; call for flies,’ and there was flies. Sure. What ever he said, He done it; and it come to pass, His living Word. God and His Word is the self-same Person. God is the Word.”
And now let’s go to page 256, where he tells us4:
“196. 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.”
The Word, the Word coming manifested in human flesh in a man; the Word becoming flesh again.
And now, what will this be? The white horse Rider of Revelation 19, remember that it is the Holy Spirit; Christ the Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit coming in the Last Day.
And now, page 277 says5:
“391. …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.”
Did you see that the Holy Spirit is the white horse Rider of Revelation 19? Because that is Christ, the Holy Spirit coming in the Last Day.
And now, page 134 of the book of The Seals says6:
“302. Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate (that is, the Holy Spirit will come in human flesh) 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.”
And what will this be? Page 146 of this book of The Seals says7:
“402. And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man (in other words, it is incarnated in the antichrist, in the man of sin) the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.”
And now, how is the Holy Spirit going to come up to come incarnate in a man? Simple.
The Holy Spirit has been in His Church from age to age, and He has been manifesting Himself in the portion pertaining to each age in the messenger of each age. And the messenger of each age has been the Word made flesh in the portion relevant to each age; in other words, the portion relevant to each age, of the Word, has been made flesh in the messenger of each age; but that has not been the fullness of God in a messenger.
Now, for the Last Day…
Notice, we look at the seven ages of the gentile Church and we see that the Holy Spirit has been ascending from age to age, through the manifestation that He has had in each angel messenger from age to age, ascending on the Mount of God, which is His Church.
And for the Last Day He ascends to the Age of the Cornerstone and comes incarnated in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that will be the Word, the Word made flesh in a man of the Last Day. And that manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through human flesh, of His Angel Messenger, will be what will bring the revival, the spiritual awakening of the Last Day.
And He comes with a sword that comes out of His mouth, a sharp sword; that is the Word; in other words, He will be identified by the Word that comes out of His mouth, which will be the Message for the Last Day. And that will be what will bring —for the Church of Jesus Christ— the revival, the awakening of the Last Day.
Being that that Word, that Sword that comes out of His mouth, is also the seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 to 11…; because it is Christ in Revelation, chapter 10, the one who descends from Heaven in a cloud, and the heavenly rainbow on His head, and His face as the sun, and His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet as pillars of fire, and in His hand a little Book open, and sets His right foot on the sea and the left foot on the earth, and cries as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices.
The voices of the seven thunders, they speak where? Here on Earth. Here on Earth is that Christ utters His Voice, that Voice of the Seven Thunders, when He cries as when a lion roars; because He comes as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
And look at what those Thunders will produce in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ when those Thunders are being spoken, which is, when Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, is speaking in the midst of His Church. That is Christ speaking as when a lion roars, crying as when a lion roars, and seven thunders are uttering their voices. It is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Seven Thunders, speaking to His Church the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Second Coming.
On page 212 of the book of The Seals also speaks of the Thunders, and says8:
“183. The—the Bride hasn’t had a revival yet. See? There’s been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We’re looking for it now. It’ll take those seven unknown Thunders back there, to wake Her up again, see. Yeah. He’ll send it. He promised it.”
What awakens the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Day? The seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 to 11, which are the Voice of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in the midst of His Church speaking to her and revealing to her the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Coming.
And this is what gives the faith, the revelation, to the Church of Jesus Christ, to be changed and raptured in the Last Day. That is why on page 128 of the book of The Seals also says9:
“75. And I believe that, through those Seven Thunders, will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith.”
What will give the Church the rapturing faith? The Voice of the Seven Thunders, the Voice of Christ in the Last Day, in the spiritual awakening of the Last Day.
That is why we also find in other places that Christ —in the book of The Seals— hid the mystery of His Coming. Now, see what it says on page 117 of the book of The Seals10:
“166. …But, think now, he wrote This.
167. But when he started to write those other, Seven Thunders, He said, ‘Don’t write It.’ He had been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these Seven Thunders, over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, ‘Don’t write Them, at all.’ They are mysteries. We don’t know what they are yet. But, my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church to move out. See?
168. We’ve just moved through everything that we know of, through all the dispensations. We’ve watched everything. We seen the mysteries of God. We seen the appearing of the—of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days. But, yet, there is something in There that we just can’t lighten ourself with. There is something other.
169. But I imagine, when them mysteries begins to come forth, God said, ‘Hold It back now. Wait a minute. I’ll reveal It in that day. Don’t write It, at all, John, ’cause they’ll stagger over It. Just—just let it go, see. But I’ll reveal It in that day when it has need to be done.’
170. They never uttered for nothing. Remember, like the little drop of ink, everything is for a purpose. Everything is for a cause. But, notice, the Creator uttered. And he—he heard this Voice, and he went to see.
171. But now the Lamb is showing John, in the symbol of… of a—of a church scripture, like, for the church to know. What to write, He just show him. Said, ‘Now, don’t—don’t tell this, just what it is. Don’t go down, John, and say, ‘Now, this is just what this is, of what’s under this Seventh Seal.’ Don’t, don’t go down and tell that. For, if I tell John that, then all down through the age, the whole plan will be broke. It’s a secret.’ See? He just wants…His Coming! He said, now, ‘And nobody is going to know when I’m coming. I’m just coming.’ See? See? That’s all. It ain’t for my business to know when. I’ll just be ready, you see.”
Here, notice how the mystery that these Seven Thunders reveal is the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Second Coming.
And now, look, on page 481 of the book of The Seals it says11:
“391. On the opening of this Seventh Seal, it’s also in a threefold mystery. This one, I have… will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the Seven Thunders. The Seven Thunders in Heaven will unfold this mystery. It’ll be right at the Coming of Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return.”
When will the Seventh Seal be revealed to the Church? At the time of His Coming; and it is through the Seven Thunders —which is the Voice of Christ in His Coming— speaking to His Church, that this mystery will be opened to His Church.
And now, look here on page 482, it says12:
“397. Now, we have, in the completion here now, by the grace of God, all the mysteries of the six Seals that’s been sealed up, and we understand and know here that the Seventh Seal is not to be known to the public.
398. Now, His Coming, at the hour of His Coming, when the destruction of the earth, you know. He said there, ‘What will be the sign of the coming of the end of the world?’ In Matthew 24, there where they asked Him that question. He went down to that. He told about Israel being gathered as a nation, in the 31st verse, of Matthew 24:31. But then He started off on parables, see. Then you see the…
‘Learn a parable of the fig tree. When you see it putting forth its buds, why, you know spring is nigh. And then when you see this coming to pass, then know the time is nigh.’
Matthew 24:32-33
See, Israel gathering in its own homeland. But, you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal.
399. And here, when the Seventh Seal, when He opened It, He also omitted It again, see. So we see that It is a complete mystery, therefore the hour is not yet for the mystery to be known. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride…”
Now see how the rest, which is the Seventh Seal, the opening of the Seventh Seal, that revelation being made known to the Church of Jesus Christ, will be for what time? For the time when He appears to take His Bride.
And He appears in the Age of the Cornerstone, revealed, veiled; veiled and revealed through human flesh. It will be the Coming of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man of the end time, of the Last Day, which will be in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and will be part of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, for that time, well, the Angel must already have a few years in order to have the ministry of the Last Day; but before reaching that time where the ministry of the Last Day will be manifested in him, well, he must have been born, he must have grown up and have obtained the knowledge from God of the things that he must be speaking at every moment; and as time goes by, he obtains more and more knowledge of what he must be speaking in the midst of His Church for the people of God; but before starting his ministry, everything would be sealed and closed, it would be a complete mystery.
Now notice, on page 472 of the book of The Seals, it says13:
“304. Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal…”
What is the Message of the end time, of the Last Day? The Seventh Seal; and the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord. The Message of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work, is the Message of the Last Day.
Just as the Message of the two previous days is the Message of the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world on Calvary’s Cross. That is the Message of the Dispensation of Grace for these two days, which are for the human beings…, before God they are two days and for the human beings they are two millenniums: fifth and sixth millennium.
And then comes the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium from Adam until now, for which we have the promise of the Message of the Second Coming of Christ, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work. That is the Message that opens, that reveals the mystery: the Seventh Seal reveals the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ.
But before that revelation is opened, it will be a secret. It says:
“304. Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal. After all, He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. (The Seventh Seal, that is) And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible.”
In other words, its beginning will be something secret, according to the Bible, as it was secret, a secret, the First Coming of Christ when it began: when He was in Mary’s womb for nine months and then when He was born in Bethlehem of Judea; and then when He grew up and went from baby to child, from child to young man, and from a young man became an adult person, of almost 30 years old.
And when He was almost 30 years old, John the Baptist was preaching in Judea and baptizing there in the river, in the Jordan, and Jesus came to be baptized by John14</sup>; and He became one of the disciples of John the Baptist; and one of the disciples of John the Baptist was the person in whom the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled; and he was a construction worker, a carpenter, but the First Coming of Christ was fulfilled in that young carpenter.
But before that mystery was opened, John, see, he presented it, because he was the forerunner; and he was speaking of one that would come after him, of a man that would come, a man that would come after him, which would be the Christ, the Messiah, and who would baptize them with Holy Spirit and Fire; and when he saw Him, he said15: “Behold the one of whom I said that he would come after me.”
And he was one of his family, he was a relative according to the flesh, because Mary and Elizabeth were relatives. But John did not know Him, he did not know who that man would be; but when He came to him to be baptized and was baptized he knew that that was the man, because the Holy Spirit came upon Him and remained upon Him; and that was the sign that God gave him about the Messiah, which he would see, and which he would present before the Hebrew people; and he said16: “This is the one of whom I testified, this is He. He is before me and He is greater than I.”
Now we can see that He was one of John’s disciples, He was one of the forerunner’s disciples, He was one who had followed the Message of John the Baptist, and then He continued onward and began His ministry.
You see, the foreran is first a disciple of the forerunner, and then he goes on to fulfill the purpose for which he has come and be the foreran. In other words, the foreran is first a disciple of the forerunner, and there is the intertwining of foreran and forerunner.
Now, it is very important to understand this for the Last Day, because every person who is or has been a disciple of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ must understand that the one foreran will first be among the disciples of the forerunner. So it was with the forerunner that John had to present, to whom he was preparing the way and which would be the Word, the Word made flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people.
That is why the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said that he had been sent to forerun the Word that would come17, the Word, the Word that would come in the Last Day in the midst of His Church. Therefore, he is forerunning the Word, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant that will come in the Last Day manifested in human flesh in His Angel Messenger. That is the mystery of the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. But remember that that veil of flesh is not the Lord Jesus Christ, he is only the instrument of Christ for that manifestation of Jesus Christ.
And then, when we are already changed, we will see Jesus Christ our Savior in His theophanic body (because we will also have…) and in His glorified body, because we will also have the theophanic body and the eternal and glorified physical body, and we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Now did you see how simple everything is?
Now, let’s continue reading here; it continues saying:
“After all, He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible.”
There you have: something secret, according to the Bible.
The secret of the First Coming of Christ was hidden for almost 30 years ago; when He was almost 30 years old, He began His ministry and there He opened the mystery of His Coming; but not everyone believed, only those who were ordained to believe. And it says:
“Before knowing That. And remember, Revelation 10:1-7, 1 to 7, chapter 10:1 to 7, ‘At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known.’ We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.”
Now, the opening of the Seventh Seal, in terms of its fulfillment, it begins to be fulfilled in a secret and simple way; and nobody understands or knows anything, but the Seventh Seal, His Coming, is being fulfilled in that stage. As His First Coming was being fulfilled in that stage of nine months in the womb of Mary; and then He was born in Bethlehem of Judea, and then He was taken to Egypt, and then taken to Nazareth; and so time went by and the child Jesus was growing up: He became a young man, then He became an adult person; and that mystery was opened to the public when Jesus was almost 30 years old.
And there Jesus began to preach, and John the Baptist presented Him as the Messiah that would come, and there that mystery was opened, although not all people understood it. In other words, there was almost 30 years of silence regarding the mystery of the First Coming of Christ; but then that mystery was opened to the public, under the ministry of the Messiah, of Jesus Christ.
And now he speaks to us of the Seventh Seal, which is the Second Coming of Christ, which will be a complete mystery in its beginning.
“The other day, last Sunday, a week ago…”
See, here he had said:
“‘…all the mysteries of God would be known.’ We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.”
In other words, by that time the Seventh Seal had to be on Earth, even though it was a secret completely to the people.
“The other day, last Sunday, a week ago today, when I was preaching on ‘Be humble! Be humble! Remember, God deals in little things.’ I didn’t realize what it really was talking about. And now I see it. It is in such a humble way! You would think that something like that would be revealed to the Vatican or… But It comes just like John the Baptist.”
How did John the Baptist come? Well, he came with the ministry of Elijah in his third manifestation.
And the Seventh Seal will come with His Angels, “for the Son of Man will come with His Angels.18” And His Angels are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Therefore, He will come as John the Baptist, who came with the ministry of Elijah.
And now the Seventh Seal will also come with the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, and it will come with the ministry of Moses for the second time and the ministry of Jesus for the second time. It says:
“It comes like the birth of our Lord, in a stable. Glory to God! So help me, the hour is at hand! Amen! We’re here. Oh, my!”
Now, we can see that this mystery of the Seventh Seal is the greatest mystery of the Heavens and the Earth, which God kept in His mind all the time. Since before the foundation of the world God has had that hidden mystery in His mind; and it was not revealed in past ages: only God placed the prophetic Word in the mouth of His prophets to speak about the Second Coming of Christ. But He did not reveal the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ to anyone; because that mystery would be revealed to His Church in the Last Day, by Jesus Christ Himself in His manifestation through human flesh, through His Angel Messenger.
That is the mystery that is revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time by the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Seven Thunders, the Voice of Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, which is the Messenger to Israel; but He comes for His Church.
Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit coming in human flesh at the Last Day, comes for the Hebrew people, comes for Israel; but first He comes to His Church, because it is in the midst of His Church that He has been from age to age manifested in each angel messenger; and He has been ascending from age to age, through the angel messenger of each age, and then He ascends to the Age of the Cornerstone and comes incarnated in His Angel Messenger.
And after He reveals Himself to His Church and gives her the awakening, the revival of the Last Day, and calls and gathers the elect of the Last Day, then He will reveal Himself to the Hebrew people, because He comes for the Hebrew people. But first He is manifested in His Church, from age to age, until the Age of the Cornerstone, and that is where there will be the intertwining of the Hebrew people with the gentiles, and of the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom with the Message of the Gospel of Grace, and the intertwining of the Dispensation of the Kingdom with the Dispensation of Grace, and that ministerial intertwining of the end time.
So you see why the Reverend William Branham says on pages 128 and 129 of the book of Quotations… Talking to us about the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet, he tells us, page 128, verse 114319:
“Under the Seventh Trumpet, is to Israel the same as the Seventh Seal was to the Church.”
Just as the Seventh Seal is for the Church, the Seventh Trumpet is for whom? For Israel. Then, on page 129 it tells us (verse 1150 says)20:
“Now, as soon as this Church… / …and that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery of going. And the Jews is called by the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet, which is two prophets, Elijah and Moses…”
Now, you see, the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet is what? Moses and Elijah. And the mystery of the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord.
And now, on the same page 129, verse 1152, it says21:
“He said, at… ‘The Great Trumpet would sound. The Great Trumpet!’ Not Trumpets now, feast of trumpets; there is two of them, Moses and Elias, to call the Trumpet. But, under ‘the Great Trumpet,’ the Coming of the Lord, to announce Joseph returning, see, that all nations would assemble at Jerusalem.”
And now we pass on… Right here, let’s continue reading:
“Amen. You find that in the Book of Isaiah. I just give it to you, a while ago, one of those chapters we read; that’s in Isaiah 18:1 and 3. And in Isaiah 27:12 and 13, is where He sounds that ‘Trumpet,’ and all of the nations will recognize Israel in her homeland, God with her. Then the Bride will come to be with the Bridegroom, and the Bridegroom with the Bride; and then the great Millennium, after the whole world is destroyed by atomic power. And there will be ‘a new heavens and new earth,’ (and what will happen?) shall live forever.”
And now, on page 130 of this same book of Quotations, verse 1164 says22:
“‘…for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’”
The Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on, it is the Coming of the Lord for the Hebrews. And the Seventh Seal for the gentile Church is the Coming of the Lord; and the Seventh Seal being opened is the Coming of the Lord being opened to the Church, being revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, being fulfilled and revealed in the midst of the Church of the Lord.
And the Seventh Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, the Last Trumpet or Trumpet of God (of First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13 to 17, and First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 56), that Last Trumpet or Trumpet of God or Great Voice of Trumpet or Voice of Archangel, is the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Seventh Seal, the Voice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ speaking through His Angel Messenger the mystery of the Coming of the Lord; making known to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal and thus filling us with the knowledge of His Coming, and filling us with the knowledge of the purpose of His Coming, to thus give us the faith, the revelation, to be changed and raptured, and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.
Now, we can see that just as with the First Coming of Christ and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross He gives us the blessing of forgiveness of our sins and gives us His Holy Spirit; and thus He gives us a new spiritual, theophanic body, of the sixth dimension. And with His Second Coming in His Reclaiming Work as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He will carry out that Reclaiming Work and will give us the eternal and glorified physical body.
And that is how we will receive the double portion: we will receive the fullness of the Spirit of God, the fullness of the Holy Spirit, by receiving our transformation and thus being filled with the fullness of God. And God will be manifested in us in all His fullness: in new, eternal and glorified bodies.
And then we will be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; but before that, we will be here for 30 to 40 days, and there will be a full manifestation of God in His Church, which will be with eternal bodies and with the dead in Christ resurrected at the Last Day.
And if the manifestation of Christ through the messenger of each age was great, in each stage of the Church, and there was a great awakening, how will it be for this end time, where we are going up in a progressive way until the dead in Christ are resurrected and we who are alive are changed; and the manifestation will be in all His fullness when we are transformed.
And the manifestation of Christ in His Angel Messenger will be in all His fullness when He has adopted him. When He is changed, it will be a full manifestation in the Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ, as it was in Jesus of Nazareth.
Now we can see the Divine Program for this end time, in and for THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY, which is for the restoration of the children of God to eternal life, for the restoration of the children of God to an eternal and glorified body; in order to be restored to eternal life, from which Adam fell in the fall.
And that will be the restoration of all things for the sons and daughters of God.
And then will come the restoration of the Hebrew people, where God will call 144,000 Hebrews and He will restore them to the Word, and He will place them in His Program; and what was said by the prophet Ezekiel in chapter 37 will be fulfilled, where he shows us that the Spirit of God will enter into that field full of dry bones, which will be restored: bones joining bones (each one), tendons being attached, nerves – tendons or nerves, and muscles, and flesh and skin; and then, the only thing they lack at present is spirit, because the body without spirit is dead23.
Israel is still dead, spiritually speaking, because it lacks the spirit; but the Spirit of God, just as He has been in His Church among the gentiles, will return to the Hebrew people and will give them Life.
That is what they currently lack; but the Spirit of God is in the midst of His gentile Church, manifesting Himself in the Last Day through the ministry of the Last Day in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, to give us the faith, the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the faith to be changed and raptured and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And when the number of God’s elect is completed, and the dead in Christ are resurrected and we who are alive are changed, God will no longer deal with the gentiles as individuals, for He will turn to the Hebrew people and deal with the Hebrew people as a nation.
So we can see the time in which we are living: we are living in the time of the spiritual awakening of the Last Day. For what? To receive the revelation of the Seven Thunders, which is the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work, for our restoration to eternal life, with an eternal body; in order to be restored to eternal life physically also, and to be dressed as kings, with an eternal and glorified body; and to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and then return (after three and half years) for the great Millennial Kingdom, and to reign with Christ as kings and priests in that Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, we saw in what the Reverend William Branham said, that the Earth will be destroyed with atomic power; in other words, under the divine judgment of the great tribulation the atomic bombs are going to explode, in a Third World War.
But that does not scare us because by that time we will have a new body, an eternal and glorified body, and we will be with Christ at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and those noises will not reach there, not even those noises will reach there.
So there is no concern for us. For us everything is joy, everything is peace, everything is happiness, in THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY to be restored to eternal life physically too.
Well, it has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion testifying to you of all these things that must happen in this end time, of which there are already many that are happening and are being identified through the prophetic Word of God.
It has been a great privilege to be with you on this occasion testifying to you of “THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY, OF THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
And now, all ministers and ministers’ wives, and evangelists and workers and collaborators, who work in the Work of Christ in this Last Day, in THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY, are blessed. We are blessed!
We are working on the Program of God pertaining to the Last Day, to the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom. Therefore, our work in the Lord is not in vain: our work in the Lord is a work that is secure.
Our work in the Lord will not be lost. It is a work that was promised to be done by His Church.
And the stage of the Church of Jesus Christ among the gentiles is now being fulfilled (where?) in Latin America and the Caribbean; just as the first stage of the Church among the gentiles was fulfilled in Asia Minor, the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth were fulfilled in Europe, and the seventh was fulfilled in North America; and God left the best part for us: the part of the Age of the Cornerstone, where the awakening of the Last Day would be carried out, it would be poured out by Christ to His Church, to give us the faith to be transformed and raptured in this end time.
So Latin America and the Caribbean have that privilege. Therefore, in Latin America and the Caribbean are the elect of God of the Last Day being called and gathered; although there may also be some who are in other nations or continents, but the large group pertains to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Well, it has been a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, testifying to you of THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY, in other words, the spiritual revival of the Last Day.
And we have seen how that revival would come: through the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Word, the Word incarnated in a man of the Last Day; the Word, the Holy Spirit, coming in His Angel Messenger manifested to give us the revival, the awakening of the Last Day, and thus He speaks to us with His Voice as a Lion and the Seven Thunders utter their voices; and the Seven Thunders is the Voice of Christ as a Lion speaking through His Angel Messenger.
And with the Voice of the Seven Thunders, the Voice of Christ speaking through His Angel Messenger in the Last Day, gives us the revival, the awakening of the Last Day, of the seventh millennium, and also the third millennium from Christ until now, because the Last Day (of the last three days) is the third millennium from Christ until now, and seventh millennium from Adam until now.
Well, may the blessings of Jesus Christ promised for the Last Day, for the seventh millennium from Adam until now and third millennium from Christ until now, be upon you all and upon me also; and soon all the elect of God be completed in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Mystical Body of Christ; and soon may we all be changed, and the dead in Christ resurrected, and all taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
May God bless you, keep you and use you greatly in His Work, and fill you with the knowledge of all His Program.
God bless you and will see each other again in Chimbote; those who will be there, see you there, God willing, to continue seeing these mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
May you all have, or continue having a day full of the blessings of Jesus Christ.
“THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE LAST DAY, OF THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
