The Strong Wind from the East

Good afternoon, beloved fellow ministers in this Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of ministerial fellowship around the Word of God, and thus, to see where we stand in the ministerial field, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.

I want to read a Scripture here in Exodus, chapter 14… Let’s see here; this is after the Hebrew people left Egypt. Notice, verse… chapter 13, verse 21 and 22, tells us:

“And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night,” (we’re reading Exodus chapter 13, verse 21 and 22):

“He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.”

Now let’s go on to [chapter] 14:

“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.

And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.

And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.

But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.

And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.

And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

And it came to pass, that in the morning watch,” (meaning, in the fourth watch), “the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.”

And let’s see, there is a passage where it tells us about… Let’s see… verse 4 of chapter 15, says… This is the song that Moses and the children of Israel sang there. Let’s see look at [Exodus] verse 1 and on, let’s continue reading, it says:

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.”

Now, notice something here that gives us a very clear idea, it says:

“The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.”

Let’s see if we can catch what I’m trying to tell you here. Who went into the sea? Pharaoh and his army. And verse 28 of chapter 14 [of Exodus], says:

“And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not…”

What happened to Pharaoh? It doesn’t say anything else about Pharoah afterwards, right? It seems like that was the end not only of his army, but the end of Pharaoh too; because it says that the horse of Pharaoh went in with his army, but it doesn’t say anywhere that he managed to get out; actually, what the Scripture says is that not one of them escaped, it says:

“…There remained not so much as one of them.” 

If it said that one of them remained, well, that would be Pharaoh. But it seems like Pharaoh was at the front of the army, most likely, so he was the one who had the lowest chance of making it out, because he was the first one; so, when they would try to escape, he was the last one.

In other words, what it shows us there is that Pharaoh and his army only made it that far; meaning that Egypt was left in ruins, and from that point on, there wasn’t anything left of the Pharaoh’s government there. Surely another king came, other kings, and they took advantage of the situation; because once they saw that Egypt was weak, any other nearby king could take Egypt.

We need to search for that in history, see how all that happened in history; and if (according to history), the pharaoh of that time managed to make it out, even if he was swimming, and… because here it says that Pharaoh went in with his army, and then the Scripture says that not so much as one of them escaped; that is to say, as we would say: “None of them escaped, meaning that Pharaoh didn’t even have a chance to escape,” because the king would always try to escape; and well, if none of them escaped there… if the Pharaoh went in, well, then he wasn’t able to come out.

Now, that was the type and figure of the antichrist and of what Christ will do with the empire of the antichrist at the Last Day.

Doesn’t it say that with the brightness of His Coming, the antichrist will cease to exist? And in Isaiah chapter 11, verse 4, what does it say about the antichrist there? In Second Thessalonians, chapter 2, it says that with the brightness of His Coming and with the Spirit of His mouth…

Let’s see, these two Scriptures are the same but they are spoken at different times and in different dispensations; and because they are spoken that way, well, we get more out of it.

Paul says… Second Thessalonians chapter 2, verse… it says… Notice what Paul speaks about; I think we can read it all [verse 1]:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us…”

It seems like some people would write to them as though it were Saint Paul writing, or they might have said: “By letter Saint Paul said such and such a thing, he preached such and such a thing.” And let’s see:

“…As that the day of Christ is at hand.”

For they were living in the first of the Last Days, and it seems like there were many at that time who were saying that they were already living in the Lord’s Day; and there were still two thousand years left.

Because the Lord’s Day is the seventh millennium; and the promise of the Second Coming of Christ is for the Lord’s Day. That is why he tells them here:

“…By the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him…”

Our gathering together once the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet is made; and we are called and gathered into a new age and a new dispensation, to be changed and be raptured, and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, and forever be with the Lord. That entire Program pertains to the Lord’s Day because it is the seventh millennium.

And now, it goes on to say:

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,” (that is the Word, the two-edged Sword), “and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Now notice, here it says that He will consume him with the Spirit of His mouth, and destroy him with the brightness of His Coming.

And in Isaiah chapter 11, let’s see what it tells us there. Chapter 11, verse 4, tells us the following… Let’s read from verse 1, so that we have a clear picture, since this is a Messianic passage; it says:

“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.”

See? And that sends us to Second Thessalonians chapter 2, as well as Revelation chapter 19, notice here, where it tells us the following, it says [verse 11]:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”

And here it speaks to us about judging [Isaiah]:

“And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.”

Verse 5 also says [Isaiah 11]:

“And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.”

And in Revelation chapter 1, we find Him with His golden girdle as Judge; and His golden girdle showing His righteousness.

“And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins.” 

In other words, that girdle on His loins, which represents Him as Judge, is a representation of His righteousness; because the girdle of His loins will be His righteousness.

“And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.”

It goes on to say [Revelation 19:12]:

“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself,” (in other words, it is a new Name).

“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations…”

That is the Spirit of His mouth; and that is the Word of God, the Spirit of Christ’s mouth.

“…And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”

In other words, as King of kings and Lord of Lords, He is also the Judge of all the Earth.

And we can see what that means for this Last Day. Notice, if you look here in Revelation chapter 2, verses 26 to 27, it says:

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give 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.”

Notice how Christ transfers everything He has received from the Father; just as He received it from the Father, now He says that He will give it to him, He will give him that power:

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give 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.”

Now we can see that this speaks to us about the Last Day, the Lord’s Day, the seventh millennium, and about the manifestation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Seed of David, the Offspring of David, of the House of David or of Jesse; and it speaks to us about the manifestation of Christ for the end time.

Now notice, a squeeze will come, just like there came a squeeze before the sea for the Hebrew people. In plain words: the heart of the antichrist will be hardened just as Pharaoh’s heart was hardened; but God will make a way for God’s elect. The enemy shall come in like a flood, but God shall lift up a standard against him.¹

And now, notice, we find that Moses stretched forth his rod… his hand, with the rod in his hand, meaning, he stretched forth his hand with the rod (the rod represents the Word); and that speaks of the ministry of Jesus Christ with His Angels at the Last Day, where the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Jesus will be manifested here on Earth.

And notice, Moses… let’s see where he is; let’s look for him here in the last pages of the Bible, let’s see where Moses is. Notice where Moses is: he is around this… Which is it, Miguel? Is it around this part? They go in… they pass through here, right? The Red Sea is… here, around the Gulf of Suez; and they are here, they are in the western part, because they will go over to the East.

And notice, a strong wind comes from the East, (an east wind is a wind from the East); and with that east wind, after Moses stretched forth his hand with the rod and spoke, notice, the sea was open that entire night, it opened up, and there was a way for the people to pass: the Hebrew people passed over.

When the morning appeared, notice, the Hebrew people were already passing; and the Egyptians also tried to pass, in order to kill, to destroy the Hebrew people.

But when the day was breaking (meaning, in the fourth watch), God began to damage the wheels on the chariots, and they couldn’t go on with that kind of damage; in other words, it turned into a confusion. They didn’t have… perhaps they didn’t have what we call a car jack, like we have in our cars, so that… although they didn’t have to put air in them or anything; but if they didn’t have a spare, and if the axle broke, that’s as far as they went. In other words, a confusion started there; and God was the One who brought that confusion upon them.

And then, notice, God didn’t cover the Egyptians with the waters of the sea until Moses stretched out his hand with the rod. Notice, God told Moses: “Now, stretch out your hand with the rod…”

Let’s see, we were reading chapter 14 (around there) to 15; 14 says… (No, no, this is when it’s already…) [Verse] 27 says… 26… well, let’s start with 24 then. It says:

“And it came to pass, that in the morning watch…”

It doesn’t say what time, but “in the morning watch,” meaning, from 6:00 to 9:00. Notice the great events that take place in the [fourth] watch.

“And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them,” (or as we say, “There was no trace left of them.”)

Now, notice how for the sea to be opened, God told Moses: “Stretch out your hand with the rod;” and when the sea was to be closed, God tells Moses again: “Stretch out your hand so that the waters come upon the Egyptians,” and that is what happened.

Notice how one man, but with God, overcame Pharaoh and his entire army; and with a rod in his hand. He didn’t have a sword anymore, like he did back when He was prince in Egypt, now he had a shepherd’s rod.

With a shepherd’s rod, Moses overcame Pharaoh and his entire army; just like David: with a rod, a sling, and a little bag to put the stones for the sling, he went to Goliath, and with a little stone in his sling, he overcame Goliath;² because God is glorified in simplicity.

When God promises to do something great, watch, because He is going to do it in a simple way.

How would God deliver the Hebrew people? Everyone thought, perhaps, whoever couldn’t understand: “Well, He will need to bring a great army.” No, all He needs is one man; but that one man must be the prophet-messenger pertaining to that time, where the Spirit of God is manifested, where God, therefore, puts His Creative Word, which can speak things into existence, and can also speak things out of existence.

So notice how Moses, with the Word that God put in His mouth, spoke Pharaoh out of existence as well as the army that was there: “These Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again;” he spoke them out of existence, and now all of that would be materialized so that they went out of existence.

And notice, what they considered protection: those bronze or copper or iron helmets, and all that armor, notice, it was the worst thing for them when they fell into the water, because that wouldn’t let them swim; and even the horses were left with those chariots tied behind them: even the horses weren’t able to get out. Riders, horses, and chariots, everything was left there.

Now, we can see the simple way God did it: a man with a rod; but that rod represented the Word of God.

And Moses is promised to return again; so, he will come with the Rod, and with that Rod he will obtain the victory.

But anyone who knows about the promise that Moses is going to return will be looking for a literal rod; but that rod represented the Word of God.

And he will come with the Word of God pertaining to the seventh millennium and to the seventh dispensation, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and wherever he stretches forth or extends that Message, that Rod, that Word, for judgment: judgment will come; and wherever he extends It speaking a blessing: the blessing will come.

Now we can see what everything will be like at the Last Day and the things which must come to pass at the Last Day.

Notice how the Gentile kingdom, the kingdom of the antichrist at the Last Day—which will be the Gentile kingdom that will be in the hands of the antichrist, the man of sin, in whom the devil will be incarnate—notice how it will come to an end during the Great Tribulation.

The plagues that came upon Egypt will be brought to their present-day fulfillment among the kingdom of the antichrist, and the Divine Judgments will be manifested. And Moses and Elijah will be there, the Two Olive Trees; Moses with the Rod of God, the Word of God; and notice, the ministry of Jesus will also be present there.

And that is the fulfillment of: “With the spirit of his mouth;” Christ with the Spirit of His mouth, and also with the Rod of iron; and it is the fulfillment of: with the Sword that comes out of His mouth; all of that refers to the Word. And all of that will be fully manifested during the squeeze, and also during the Great Tribulation.

But for the elect, the Word will be a blessing; for the kingdom of the antichrist, It will be the Divine Judgments being manifested upon the Earth.

And just as Pharaoh and his army came to an end, likewise, the man of sin, the antichrist, along with his army or armies, will also come to an end. That is what the Book of Revelation shows us.

Now, we can see that we are at the end time, the Lord’s Day, the Last Day, the seventh millennium, where all the great things promised to be done by God will be done in a simple way, in simplicity.

That squeeze is about to come; but in the meantime, we enjoy this time that we have, during which we have a lot of freedom to take the Message to every place, until the number of God’s elect is completed.

We saw that by a strong wind from the East, which went from East to West, the sea opened up. And notice, in the Message of the East, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the Last Day, where does it go? To the West.

Because that strong wind came from the East, it came to where Moses was; and Moses was in the West, the western part; because Egypt is west of the land of Israel. The land of Israel is here, Egypt is over here; in other words, west of Israel, notice, is over here.

It is like when the wise men said: “We have seen His Star in the East,”³ because the wise men were… let’s see, over here (it seems like we’re missing part of the map). Well, here it is: the wise men were over here; and Israel, Israel is here; in other words, Israel is west of Babylon, because Babylon is further east. And when the wise men were over here, they looked West, in other words, to the West; and they were in the East; so (while they were here in the East), they saw the Star of the Messiah, and they saw it in the West.

And at the Last Day, from the East they will look to the West, to also see the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and to see the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with His Angels in the West being fulfilled among His Gentile Church.

So, notice how the Hebrew people will look and see the same thing those wise men saw.

But remember that when that took place there, there were many people who didn’t see what was happening among the Hebrew people, despite them being among the Hebrew people; but there was a group who did see what was happening and received the Coming of the Messiah being born in Bethlehem of Judea.

In other words, there was always a group that did understand what was happening in God’s Program; just like in the West there will be a group at the Last Day that will know what is happening in the Divine Program regarding the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels: that group would be in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Notice how further below Jerusalem was Bethlehem of Judea; and notice how below North America and also Tucson, Arizona, is Latin America and the Caribbean.

Now, in Jerusalem, they knew nothing about the Coming of the Messiah. Every place, in our time, that our Brother Branham mentioned was Jerusalem or Jericho, well, they won’t know anything about what is happening among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, until the end; in the end, well, they will realize it.

And all the believers in the Message of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, who haven’t yet understood God’s Program relevant to the Last Day, to the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, among Latin American and Caribbean people: if their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and they remain alive when the dead in Christ rise, they must necessarily believe in order to be changed and raptured; because they can’t be changed and raptured without first seeing and receiving the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, and thus, obtaining the knowledge of the Seventh Seal.

And the knowledge of the Seventh Seal is given by the Seven Thunders of Revelation, which is the Voice of Christ in His Coming.

And the Seven Thunders give the faith for the rapture; in other words, without the rapturing faith there is no transformation; and the rapturing faith is the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, coming to His Church at the Last Day.

So, those who are waiting for the transformation and rapture in other continents cannot be changed and raptured without first seeing the Coming of Christ with His Angels, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

Notice everything that waiting for the transformation and rapture entails. So, the person must understand the order to be changed and raptured, and not be ignorant in terms of what is already established; because this is the order of the adoption.

It says in [1 Thessalonians] chapter 4, verse 14 and on, it says:

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

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…”

Our Brother Branham, quoting this Scripture, says: “We which are alive and remain until seeing the Coming of the Lord;”⁴ because here: “Remain unto the Coming of the Lord,” that is, until we see the Coming of the Lord.

For those who will be changed and raptured, this Scripture tells us about being here and seeing the Coming of the Lord; for those who will be alive and won’t be changed, well, they will be here, but they won’t see, they won’t understand the Coming of the Lord, even if It is fulfilled and they see It, but seeing they will not see, and hearing they will not understand.

Like what happened in the First Coming of Christ: where the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ, the Messiah, the King of Israel, was there, but despite seeing, those people did not see, in other words, they did not understand; they didn’t see that He was the true Messiah. They didn’t see Him as their King, as their Messiah, they saw Him as an ordinary man, a carpenter from Nazareth who was making Himself a prophet, who was making Himself the Messiah, the King of Israel; but they said: “This Man shall not reign over us. We know Him, we know that He is from Nazareth, and we know His parents: Joseph and Mary.”⁵

But notice, they were mistaken to think that He wasn’t the Messiah; because He was indeed the Messiah, God’s Anointed with the Spirit of God, for the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world there on Calvary’s Cross.

But notice how everything happened: The heart of the high priest was hardened, and the heart of those priests (most of them) was hardened, and of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and with a hardened heart, that revealed Word couldn’t enter their souls, therefore, they couldn’t see—there in their soul—the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah among the Hebrew people.

Well, all of that happened; and notice, everything was in a simple way, just like in the time of Moses. And notice how everything worked together for good, so that those prophecies would be fulfilled.

We also see how Pharaoh’s rebellion, hardening, and bad attitude worked for good so that God’s mighty hand could be manifested in Divine Judgment upon Pharaoh and his army, and his people; and thus, to fulfill what God told the Prophet and Patriarch Abraham in chapter 15, when He told Abraham the following [Genesis 15:13]:

“And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge…”

In other words, the Divine Judgment came upon the Egyptian nation under the ministry of whom? Of Moses.

The ministry of Moses brings Divine Judgment for the people who are appointed to receive the Divine Judgment, but it brings blessings for the people who are appointed to receive redemption or deliverance.

And God would judge that nation with a mighty hand. It says:

“And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.”

And there we can see… and how the promise of the Hebrew people’s deliverance and the Divine Judgments that would fall upon the oppressors, which would be the Egyptian people, notice how everything that would take place there is summarized in these words that God spoke to the Prophet Abraham.

He also says: “And they shall come out with great substance.” And notice how Moses received the Divine Revelation of how they would come out with great substance; and that was by asking the Egyptians for gold, silver, raiment, and all those things, so that they wouldn’t come out empty-handed; because they had worked for four hundred years… or they had already been there in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years, and in four hundred and thirty years, a person should have made something; and if God delivered them, they would come out of Egypt wealthy; and that was how they would come out wealthy.

Well, we can see that everything that happens to the earthly Israel, which are the people who are the servants, is a reflection of what would happen to the heavenly Israel; and what was a reflection among the Hebrew people is fulfilled from age to age.

And that is why at the Last Day, we find that for the heavenly Israel’s deliverance, for the glorious liberty of the heavenly Israel, in which we will be delivered and we will come out with Eternal Life, even in our physical body… because we will obtain our transformation, which is the glorious manifestation of the children of God, meaning, the adoption, the redemption of our body, the transformation of our body, to have an eternal body; so that God’s sons and daughters are eternal again in the body as well, and to be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Notice, just like when God made Adam in His image and likeness, he couldn’t die, until he sinned.

And now, Christ is making His children in His image and likeness. From age to age, He has been making our image, meaning, the theophanic body, which we receive when we receive Christ as our Savior, and we receive His Holy Spirit; and then He will make us His likeness, which is the eternal body, the glorified body He has promised for each of us.

Notice, God first created a theophanic body for Adam; and he was in that theophanic body in the sixth dimension, already born in that sixth dimension in that theophanic body; and we don’t know how many years he spent in it.

And that is how it is with the members of the mystical Body of Christ, when they come to Christ and receive His Holy Spirit: they are already in the sixth dimension with their theophanic body; they have their theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and if they depart before they are changed, they continue living in the sixth dimension, just as Adam lived in the sixth dimension, and just as Jesus Christ lived in the sixth dimension before He had the physical body.

But then, just as God created Adam a body of the dust of the ground, a body that didn’t have sin, therefore, he could continue living in that body for all eternity.

And in that body He put Adam, who is a living soul, who also had a theophanic body; then He put him—with that theophanic body, He put Adam, who is a living soul: He put it in that physical body. And there was Adam, as a soul (which is what the person truly is), and having a theophanic body, which is the body of the sixth dimension, which is the person’s spirit; and then having a physical body, which is the outer body or garment.

Because the human being was created a spirit… he is a soul, spirit, and body; it seems like he is three, but he is only one. Just as God seems like He is three, but how many is He? Only one.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,”⁶ but it seems like that is two: “The Word was in the beginning with God,” (it seems like that is two there), “and the Word was God;” and then when the Word was made flesh, now it seems like that is three. But it was Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: “God with us;”⁷ God with a theophanic body, in which He lived; and which was the first thing God created, and He created it for Himself.

And then God came and made Himself a physical body: by creating a cell of life, of blood, there in Mary’s womb, which multiplied cell after cell, and God’s physical body was formed: Emmanuel, so that the Jehovah of the Old Testament could live among human beings, who once said: “Before Abraham was, I am. Abraham desired to see My day; and he saw it, and was glad.”⁸

And John the Baptist said: “After me comes One whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose, who,” (he said), “is before me.”⁹ And that physical body had been born after John; but the One who was inside that physical body was before John the Baptist, He was before Abraham, and He was before Adam too, because He was God in His theophanic body; and then, when He was made flesh, well, in His body of flesh. And He was inside that body of flesh with His theophanic body; that is why He was the Angel of the Lord.

When the Angel of the Lord is mentioned, that is God with His theophanic body. And the Angel of the Lord, notice, was inside the veil of flesh called Jesus.

Now we can see how all of that was and how they appear… or some people may say: “They are three;” but when one looks closely, one sees that it is God with His theophanic body inside His body of flesh.

“Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us,” Philip says to Him. Jesus says: “Have I been so long with you, Philip, and yet you have not known Me?” “Don’t you know that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?” (or vice-versa).¹⁰ How does He say it, Miguel? “And he that has seen Me, has seen the Father.” In other words, they were seeing the Father veiled in human flesh, they were seeing the veil of flesh.

But it also says [John 1:18]:

“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”

It was the declaration of God the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth through human flesh, with the theophanic body of God inside that veil of flesh; and God Himself, in His theophanic body, inside that body of flesh. That is why the things that Jesus did could not be done by any man if God was not with him, and if God was not in him.

Now we can see everything that happened there; and we can see that this had been promised to be fulfilled, to be manifested, back then. And it was fulfilled in such a simple way: through a young carpenter from Nazareth, who was despised, rejected, by the great religious leaders of the Hebrew people, thinking that He was an impostor, that He was a mad man, a crazy young man, who was trying to impersonate the Messiah.

But, how could one know whether or not He was the Messiah? Christ said: “If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not; but if I do them, then believe the works, if you cannot believe in Me.”¹¹ In other words, the things God said He would do in the First Coming of the Messiah were being done by Jesus of Nazareth; no one else was doing them, or could do them.

In other words, the things God had promised that He would do through the Messiah were being done through Jesus; therefore, the One who was in Jesus was none other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Angel of the Lord, doing those things He had promised.

And now, notice how they treat Jesus: they treat Him worse than John the Baptist.

We find that Jesus kept moving forward with His ministry, even though the great religious leaders of the Hebrew people rejected Him. Anyone could be discouraged by this, but not Jesus; Jesus said it should be this way. He said they had to be blind so that the prophecy of Isaiah could be fulfilled; and so that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not understand, and be converted and God save them.¹²

If the Hebrew people believed in Jesus, if their religious and political leaders believed in Jesus and received Him, they would put Him on the Throne of David, they would crown Him, and the Millennium would have to begin; but there were many years left, about two thousand years, to reach the seventh millennium, which is the millennium where the Second Coming of Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is fulfilled, in other words, where the Coming of Christ is fulfilled.

In the time of the First Coming of Christ, they were not living in the seventh millennium, in the Lord’s Day; therefore, Christ couldn’t do the things relevant to His Second Coming; that is why He stopped there in Isaiah chapter 61, verse 2, where it said: “And to preach the Acceptable Year of the Lord.”¹³

He did not continue reading because the rest said: “And the Day of Vengeance of our God,” because the Day of Vengeance is to be preached at this Last Day, on the Lord’s Day, in the seventh millennium, in the Coming of the Lord, in the Coming of the Son of man with His Angels as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

Now notice how everything has its place in the Divine Program.

That is why the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message for the Hebrew people, is the Message for the East; it comes to the West as a strong wind.

And in the moment of the squeeze the sea will be open, which speaks of death, just as the Jordan also speaks of death.

Notice how Moses parted the Red Sea and then closed it; and then Joshua parted the Jordan, and then Elijah also parted the Jordan, and then Elisha parted the Jordan too.

And now, at the Last Day the ministry of Moses comes to part the Red Sea or what the Red Sea represents at this end time; because death will want to destroy God’s elect, but a way will be made so that we come into the new body alive and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Even though sometimes some of our own depart, but they will come back; and they will come to be with us.

Now notice how that strong wind of the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom comes from the East; for it is the Message of the East, it is the Message for the Hebrew people, but it comes (where?) to the West, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, how does it come? Well, the strong wind back then came when Moses stretched forth his hand, with the rod in his hand; because that speaks of the ministry of Moses stretching forth his hand with the Rod of God, meaning, with the Word of God, and the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom coming to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, so that at the Last Day we can be changed and go into the promised land of the new body, and also go into the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and after that, into the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

In the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, well, we will be there for three and a half years; but then we will come back to Earth for the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Well, what we had for you—what I had for you was a short greeting, but it has turned into a greeting of… about… how many minutes long? About half an hour, Miguel?

And I haven’t told you to sit down yet, but it’s a short break. Miguel had you sitting there for over an hour; so, for every two hours that Miguel has you sitting, you take an hour-long break standing up, and then I talk to you while you are letting your legs rest; and this way we can talk about this entire Divine Program.

This matter of the strong wind that parted the sea, which came from the East: it was an east wind, I told you briefly because while I was back there, well, I saw it, I received it; and surely there is more on this, and well, God will allow us to see [it]: that is how He will materialize all those things that happened back then, He will be bringing them to their present-day fulfillment among us; and we must have our eyes wide open to see what is happening here, and then see the type and figure back then.

Do you know what our Brother Branham said? “Do you want to see what’s coming?” (What does he say?) “Look at what has been.” Do you want to see the Sword that comes out of His mouth or the rod of Moses? Do you want to see all those things? By looking back, you see all those things, and then God brings them to their present-day fulfillment.

And for the present-day fulfillment and to see the present-day fulfillment, that is where we need the revelation contained in the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; because until we have that revelation, we cannot see the types and figures of the past materialized in our age and in our dispensation.

But by having the Message, through the Message, we will find the present-day fulfillment of all of this, which was a reality in the past, but which now becomes a type and figure of what Christ will be doing in our time; because that which is, has already been in the past; and that which is to be, is already now in the present.

Do you know what it will be like in the Millennium? And do you know what it will be like in eternity? All of that is already reflected in the past; and things are also happening in the present that will then be in the Millennium and also in eternity.

Some people may wonder: “Well, won’t there be any kind of feast in the Millennium and in eternity?” Well, in the Millennium we will be in the Feast of Tabernacles; but it will be the present-day fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the glorious Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ with His Church over all the nations; that is the present-day fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles.

And notice that when God brings something to its present-day fulfillment, what He does is magnify it, it is greater; the present-day fulfillment is greater than the type and figure; even though when the type and figure was fulfilled, it was great at that time, because it was reflecting something great that would come in the future.

For example, the day of Pentecost was a great time, a great day among the Hebrew people, the fiftieth day, but when God fulfilled it, the day of Pentecost in the upper room was even greater, God magnified it.

And what will it be like with the Year of Pentecost? The Year of Pentecost is brought to its present-day fulfillment in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day and in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is relevant to the fiftieth year, which pertains to the day of Pentecost.

Because during the seven stages or ages of the Gentile Church, seven… the seven sabbaths have passed; and that meant forty-nine years had to pass back then, to reach the forty-ninth year, or to complete those seven sabbaths; then, to complete the seven Gentile Church ages, two thousand years have passed. And then we find that after the forty-ninth year—which was a sabbath [year], which was a feast [year], which was of rest for all the land—then came the fiftieth year.¹⁴

And now, after the seven Gentile Church ages, the seventh pertains to the forty-ninth year; then comes the fiftieth year, which is the Age of the Cornerstone. The Age of the Cornerstone is under the Fiftieth Year, the Year of Jubilee; that is why it is also represented in the eighth feast year, and eight speaks of eternity.

Now notice, during the Millennial Kingdom we will find that many things that happened among the Hebrew people and that will be happening, or have happened during the Gentile Church ages, and also during our age, will be manifested in the Millennial Kingdom.

Notice how it tells us that certain things will happen or will be taking place in the Millennial Kingdom, and also in eternity.

It tells us… Let’s see here, in Revelation… If we don’t find it in Revelation, we will look for it in Zechariah. Let’s look for it in Zechariah, and then we’ll look for it in Revelation, or you can look for it in Revelation later on. It has to be there somewhere. Zechariah, it must be around [chapter] 12. Let’s see what it tells us; chapter 12, verse 10 and on, tells us… Let’s see, let’s start with verse 7, it says:

“The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

Notice what awaits the nations that come against Jerusalem, and also the ones that have already been against Jerusalem, and those that will be against Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation.

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon,” (the house of), “the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn,” (this is when Revelation chapter 7, verse 12, is fulfilled for the Hebrew people).

“In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.”

Now, going on to chapter 14, it tells us:

“Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle,” (there you have the nations that will come against Jerusalem, which will be destroyed), “and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.”

All the saints are members of the mystical Body of whom? Of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.”

Our Brother Branham, in the Message “What Is The Attraction On The Mountain?” telling us about this 8th verse, says: “This is the Gospel going forth to both Jew and Gentile.” And which Gospel is that? The Gospel of the Kingdom.

“And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.

And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.”

That is radioactivity; because while they stand upon their feet, their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their flesh too, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.”

And if there is no rain… it says:

“…Even upon them shall be no rain.” 

Think, and if there is no rain during the rain season, if there is no rain that year, until the next year so that they go to the Feast of the Tabernacles, what will become of a nation that has no rain upon them for one year? There are no harvests, they can’t sow or reap; therefore, hunger or famine strikes that nation. They will have to go buy food from another nation.

And a nation under God’s judgment does not prosper; in other words, even their business, any other nation will do it for them (that is, for the other nation) and they end up losing, everything is more expensive for them.

So, notice, during the Millennial Kingdom is when this Scripture will be completely fulfilled; in other words, it will be in fulfillment even before the Great Tribulation, it will continue during the Great Tribulation, and during the Millennial Kingdom.

Let’s see which Scripture this is: First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse… let’s see, verse 20 and on, says:

“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming,” (in other words, those who are Christ’s at His Coming, we find, will receive their transformation).

“Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.”

In other words, during the Millennial Kingdom, that Kingdom will be with a rod of iron; and whichever nation does not submit to that Kingdom and that King, to Jesus Christ on the Throne of David: rain won’t even come upon them, instead, Divine Judgments will come upon them. So, everything will be subject to Christ and to His Church.

And it will be the time in which God will prepare the ones who will later come into eternity, out of those who will be living during the Millennial Kingdom; because there will be death there.

The Scripture says: “The child shall die a hundred years old, and the old man being a hundred years old shall be accursed.”¹⁵ In other words, at a hundred years old, if he hasn’t submitted himself to Christ, what he gets is a curse; and that amount of years is long enough of a life for that person here on Earth. But for the obedient ones, at a hundred years old he is still a child; in other words, he can still live a little more after that, his years can be lengthened.

Now… but it says: “The child shall die a hundred years old;” in other words, when a person dies at a hundred years old, he is a child; that is one tenth of a thousand.

And now, when… Currently, the age is usually seventy years old, and eighty if by reason of strength. How much is one tenth of seventy? Seven. When a person who is seven years old dies, who died? A child, he died a child; even if he died at ten years old, he died a child; if he died at eight years old, he died a child.

Now, that is also how it will be in the Millennium.

But there will be a group of people who won’t die, who are eternal: those are the elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament, and also the elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, of the Jehovah of the Old Testament, who lived in the Old Testament.

The members of the Church, the elect of the Church of the Old Testament, will also be in eternal bodies, they will be immortal too. They rose when Christ rose.¹⁶

So, they rose before the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; but the ones who have the highest position are the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because those are God’s sons and daughters.

Those of the Old Testament belong to the Outer Court of God’s Temple, those of the seven ages belong to the Holy Place, and those of our time [belong] to the Holy of Holies.

Well, we can see where we are in the Divine Program, we can see all these things; and we can see that what I told you about the things that will take place during the Millennial Kingdom and also in eternity, have already been reflected in the Old Testament, and they have been rejected during the seven Gentile Church ages, and also in our age.

So, the feasts will have their present-day fulfillment there; new feasts will not be invented, instead, the ones that have already been manifested in the Old Testament and also in the New Testament will be brought to their present-day fulfillment; because what God did was give them, in the Old Testament, a reflection of what would happen later on.

And if the Hebrew people rejoiced in the reflection, what will it be like in the present-day fulfillment or materialization of that reflection! In other words, the original is not the reflection, the original is what God has for all eternity; something eternal that God has had in His Mind, but He shows it through those reflections, those types and figures, He shows it in those shadows. See?

When you see something in the Old Testament, you have to look and see that in eternity and in God’s Mind there is something eternal that is being reflected in what is being seen in the Old Testament; and that is why then, later on, it goes through another Divine Cycle, until, at the end, it becomes like…

Let’s see if I can explain it here; let’s look for somewhere around here, let’s see. It has to be… we need to have light, so we have it there. And the Light of God, notice, is what causes that reflection.

Let’s look around here for where we can… We can see a shadow here, look, you can see it, but you can’t see… it looks big, but it doesn’t look clear; but as it gets closer, it becomes clearer, the shadow becomes more clear, until you don’t see the shadow anymore; notice what caused that reflection, that shadow.

And that is what we will have in eternity: the reality; we will have the reality in eternity.

Now, we came into eternity before the Millennial Kingdom ended, we came into eternity before the Millennial Kingdom began too, and we came into eternity before the Great Tribulation, because we came into an eternal body and we are already in eternity.

Then Israel will also have to come into eternity; because they will die (one hundred and forty-four thousand), and then, at the end of the Great Tribulation, they come into eternity physically too.

And then the world, the planet Earth, after the Millennial Kingdom it comes into eternity.

And those who have believed in Christ but weren’t part of the elect, come into eternity after the Millennial Kingdom, once Judgment Day is carried out; although they haven’t been lost, they are not lost, but they aren’t in that Divine Cycle of eternity, because those who have departed have already departed; in other words, I am talking about being in eternity with an eternal body, already living in that Divine Cycle of eternity.

Now, notice, the same process that Christ has every individual go through, He has His Church go through, and He also has the planet Earth go through.

And notice, in eternity we will be enjoying all these feasts being brought to their present-day fulfillment in what God thought of before the foundation of the world, in what they were in God’s Mind; and they will be materialized in eternity; and that will be what was typified in these feasts and these events that were carried out in the different ages and different dispensations.

In other words, in eternity, over there, we will have all these things that were reflected here; because there can’t be a reflection unless there is something real. There can’t be a shadow unless there is someone projecting it; and all these things that have been projected as a shadow, a type and figure, have what that shadow, that type and figure, projected.

Well, let’s leave that alone and let’s… notice, let’s… Look, any feast, if you search in every country, all feasts or holidays (or nearly all of them) are in commemoration of some event, of something that happened; if you observe that, you will see that it’s in commemoration or in honor of something. And thus, you will be able to see that God will have great heavenly feasts in eternity.

And notice, every fifty years there will be something, and every fifty millennia there will also be something, and every fifty million years there must be something; and every time a greater cycle is fulfilled, well, things are greater too. And when it’s every fifty billion years, well, that must be an event… the same event, but greater.

Let’s give an example: Well, when the first fifty years are fulfilled, well, that will be a great event; but when the fifty million years are fulfilled, well, that has to be an event on the scale of the whole universe. See? A greater event, an event where, from around the whole universe, they are in that great feast; and surely there will be representation in the new Jerusalem.

And notice, if they just send one from each planet, the whole planet will be filled. So, perhaps it will be one from each constellation or one from each (what?) from each galaxy; because there are so many galaxies that just sending one from each galaxy (when they are all inhabited), the whole planet Earth would be filled.

How many billions of galaxies do they say there are? There are billions of planets; but there are many galaxies too, I don’t know how many there are.

They say there are also visible and invisible galaxies; in other words, it seems as though they are in another dimension and they haven’t been manifested in a visible dimension, or materialized, and well, if they are going to be materialized or made visible, then that is already in the program of the Divine process.

If they will be made visible, do you know what will happen? The universe will continue to expand. If they won’t be visible, if there won’t be more visible galaxies but instead the ones that are invisible remain invisible in the dimension they are in, well, then when we reach the number of the ones that have to be visible, well, everything will be completed then.

But notice, science is afraid that, just as the universe has been expanding, there will come a time when it starts contracting and goes back to what it was before its expansion began. But they are ignorant of the Divine Program.

During the Millennium, well, something great is also going to happen, and then in eternity too. So, there is no fear for God’s elect; the whole program that God has for that entire time is in favor of all of God’s elect.

So, there is no worry about whether it expands more or whether it shrinks, there is no worry about it getting smaller: if it gets smaller, we will be there; if it gets bigger, well, we will be there too.

Now, there are other dimensions; and since there are other dimensions, well, since we have the physical body and the theophanic body, we won’t have any problem, we won’t have any problem: we can be in a dimension that is visible or in a dimension that is invisible to the human sight.

Isn’t that what Jesus did? And isn’t that what happened with the prophets? Isn’t that what happened on Mount Transfiguration? Moses and Elijah came from an invisible dimension, from the sixth dimension, and became visible there to the Apostles Peter, James, and John, and were there with Jesus:¹⁷ and not only were they present, but they were also speaking, and speaking about Jesus’ departure to Jerusalem. In other words, they were still having an important part in God’s Program, for the redemption of the human being through the death of Christ on Calvary’s Cross; so, they were talking about Jesus’ departure to Jerusalem.

Just watch if those two men who appeared in the resurrection—just watch if they were Moses and Elijah!¹⁸ It says they were young men; but it’s because, in the body, in the other body, there are no old people. And when He ascended, it says that two men…¹⁹

And they were talking about Jesus’ departure (to where?) to Jerusalem. Where would they go? Well, the event was going to be in Jerusalem.

Well, let’s leave that alone; I haven’t said anything, I just touched on that, but I haven’t said anything; so don’t say it’s this way or that way, leave that alone. But remember that for the Last Day we have the promise of whom? Of the Two Olive Trees.

Notice how for the Second Coming of Christ, the Two Olive Trees are also mentioned there: Moses and Elijah.

So, the way things work from the sixth dimension to here, people don’t understand that, but they do work; because things which are seen were not made of (what?) things which do appear.²⁰ Meaning that, from another dimension, from the sixth dimension, things are carried out that are then materialized here in this dimension; events for creation take place and events to speak many things out of creation take place.

And we are going to leave that there; because everything that pertains to our time depends on that, just as everything that pertains to each age and each dispensation depended on it.

And from another dimension, Christ works in this dimension. Well, everything comes from the seventh to the sixth, and from the sixth it comes to our dimension.

Well, let’s leave that alone there. We have gotten into a field where we would have to sit (perhaps even me), because there are no limits there to continue speaking; that would have to be like in a vigil, in a place where we can be and not bother anyone, or have anyone bother us either.

Like we did once, where was it? It was in Torreon, right Miguel? We were there speaking with the youth for a while, and quite a few very important things came up, which was very helpful to the youth.

So, who knows if sometime we can have something like that with the ministers, to benefit the ministers; to sit there without (what is that called?) without too much… it’s not… without being in a hurry and without much… without keeping protocol, as we might say; instead, talking in a common way, without a time constraint, and without… let’s say, without a subject. When we don’t have a subject, that’s when we have the most [subjects], because we cover them all; we take from here and from there, and from everywhere; and that way, well, we can talk and see many things in the Divine Program.

Today we do have a subject, right Miguel? “THE STRONG WIND FROM THE EAST,” I believe it is.

“THE STRONG WIND FROM THE EAST.”

Notice, that was what parted the Red Sea so that the Hebrew people could walk through; and that (going in and coming out) also speaks of redemption, right Miguel? Going in speaks of redemption, and then coming out speaks of redemption.

And notice, what does church mean, Miguel? “The called out, the brought out.”

Notice, that is why the Hebrew people are God’s Church of the Old Testament. Why? Because they were the ones brought out (of where?) of Egypt; they were brought out and they were put in a new land, the land of Israel.

And the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ too, notice, upon being brought out of the world and put in the Kingdom of God, they are the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the called out, brought out and called out, see.

And notice how God brings out, in other words, how God forms His Church of the Old Testament and also of the New Testament.

It’s always the Jehovah of the Old Testament, for the Old Testament, through His prophets, and the Lord of the New Testament, which is Jesus; working through His messengers, working through the apostles, and then through His seven messengers, and through His Angel-Messenger at this day, to soon be changed and raptured at this Last Day.

Well, we know that’s something certain because Christ has promised it; and He promised it for which day? For the Last Day.

So, being at the Last Day, and seeing and hearing that strong wind that comes from the East, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, we must understand that God is awake in the Divine Program and working.

He is the One who brought that strong wind from the East to the West; and He is the One who has brought the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message of the East, of the Hebrew people, He has brought it to the West.

And in the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals, it says on pages 69 to 70… Let’s see if you have it around here; here we have Vera with the… (mine is there, in…) Let’s see what it says here:

“29 This Seven-Seal Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10, now, if you’re marking it down. Let’s turn to Revelation 10, just a moment, so you’ll get an understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end time. For, listen:

…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…

30 If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.

…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

31 You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel.”

If He is a Messenger to Israel, then what does He come with? With the Message of Israel and for Israel, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

“[31] Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church,” (to take Her to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb).

In other words, when Christ is already married, just as Joseph was already married, He reveals Himself to the Hebrew people (well, let’s leave that there); and also with a new Name: with the Name relevant to His Second Coming.

Well, we will leave that there.

And remember, our subject is: “THE STRONG WIND FROM THE EAST.”

Well, may God continue to bless you, may God keep you, and thank you very much for your kind attention.

And onward in the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing where we are at this Last Day.

May God bless you and keep you all.

“THE STRONG WIND FROM THE EAST.”
