The Sun’s Journey

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present and viewers. May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me too; and on this occasion may He allow us to understand His Word, and thus be fed in our souls to soon reach perfection, and thus obtain an eternal and glorious body, and be in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

We read in Psalm 19, verses 1 to 6, where God tells us through the psalmist and king David:

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

Our subject for this occasion is “THE SUN’S JOURNEY.”

Malachi, chapter 4, verse 1 to 2 tells us:

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.”

In this passage, God speaks to us through the prophet Malachi about the divine judgment to come, but He also speaks to us about the Second Coming of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness rising: “To those who fear my Name, the Sun of Righteousness shall rise, and in His wings He shall bring salvation.”

Christ is the Sun of Righteousness, the Messiah is the Sun of Righteousness, and in His Second Coming He will be fulfilling this prophecy, according to how God gave it through the prophet Malachi to be fulfilled in this end time.

And now you see why God also says: “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.”

Through the ordinances and laws given by God through the prophet Moses to the Hebrew people, we find the entire Divine Program that He would carry out from the beginning to the end.

And it is for each age and for each dispensation – we find that it is for each age and for each dispensation, that those feasts that God gave through the prophet Moses are fulfilled. And we have seen that some of these feasts have already been fulfilled, like the Passover, which the Hebrew people kept every year, on the 15th of each year – of the first month, the month of Nisan, the first month of the religious year of the Hebrew people¹.

The 15th was the Passover, and the paschal lamb was sacrificed on the 14th in the afternoon; because on the same 14th in the afternoon, at sunset (let’s say, at 6:00 p.m. on some occasions), we find that the 14th ended and the 15th began. Because the days begin, for the Hebrew people, and according to Genesis, the days end and also begin in the afternoon; in the afternoon one day ends and the other day begins, at sunset.

And now, notice how in these feasts given to the Hebrew people all the Divine Program is shown, and according to that Divine Program is that God has been working.

We have the Passover, which is Christ dying there on Calvary’s Cross, and then resurrecting on Sunday, which is the eighth day of the week.

And now, He is also the Waved Sheaf, of the sheaf of the first fruits, of the beginning of the harvest. It was the harvest back then, for that time, of the barley; and a sheaf was taken as the first fruits of the harvest, of the beginning of the barley harvest, and it was offered to God, a cake was prepared and offered to God². And Christ fulfilled, as the Feast of the First Fruits, what was prophesied there; and now, you see, this was fulfilled on Resurrection Sunday.

And now, see how the laws and ordinances given by God to the Hebrew people through the prophet Moses, in addition to what was the feast itself, has a prophetic element for the Hebrew people and for the human race; and that prophetic element that it has is the Divine Program that He would be carrying out from that time onwards. Just as these feasts are commemorative for the Hebrew people; things that for the Hebrew people were a reality, since the Passover instituted there in the midst of the Hebrew people, but in the land of Egypt, before the departure of the Hebrew people from Egypt.

On the 14th of the first month, they sacrificed the paschal in the afternoon; and then, during the night of the 15th, which the night began first…; because the days begin in the afternoon: it began in the afternoon of the 14th, at the end of the 14th began the 15th, the day of the Passover; and they were eating that paschal lamb at night, and they were eating those unleavened cakes.

And we found that all of that, notice, was part of the history of the Hebrew people, but it also had a prophetic element; and they would be keeping that feast every day of their lives, that is, every year.

On the first day of each month that important month began, and on the 14th they killed the lamb, which they had already taken from previous days. And then, at the beginning of the 15th, from then on, in the afternoon, they had this paschal lamb to eat at night³.

They ate that paschal lamb roasted, they couldn’t eat it neither stewed nor boiled, it had to be roasted in fire; and they had to be locked up in their homes, with the blood of that lamb applied on the lintel and doorposts of the house where they were gathered, so that death wouldn’t enter those houses and so the firstborn of those houses, of those homes, wouldn’t die. Meanwhile, death would be hurting all the houses of the Egyptians and all the firstborn would be dying, starting from the firstborn of the pharaoh, and also of all the houses of the Egyptians, and also of all the animals of Egypt; but notice, God made provision for the Hebrew people.

Now see how all these things then become type and figure of the things that God would do with and in the First Coming of Christ; where that lamb that the Hebrew people sacrificed on the 14th day, that lamb became the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, dying on the 14th day of that year, where He was crucified to carry out the redemption of all the sons and daughters of God.

The redemption, which was represented there in the departure of the Hebrew people from Egypt, because they were there receiving redemption; because to redeem is to ‘return to the original place’; and there God was carrying out the Work for the return of the Hebrew people to the land of Israel, to the land from where they had left to go to Egypt, where Joseph was, but the time had come to be restored to their land. And see how that paschal lamb, type and figure of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was instituted in the midst of the Hebrew people.

So we also find that all things that God has established have a meaning; not only the natural meaning, which is seen, but it has a prophetic meaning. And that is why in the prophetic meaning is that the Divine Program is carried out; there, behind that prophetic meaning, is the Program that God will carry out.

And now you see how in all the things that God has done there is a prophetic element, which is symbolized in each of the works of God.

Now look, the sun, of which we read in Psalm 19, we find that the sun represents God, represents the Messiah, represents Christ; and it says that God… it says:

“In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.”

Now see how the sun has a tabernacle and how the sun travels from East to West in its trajectory; and then, when it reaches the West, it has traveled from East to West; and then it has to, being in the West, to begin a new journey from West to East.

And now, see how Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, was manifested: He was born, He came out there in the East, in the Middle East, in the land of Israel; and He said⁴: “I am the Light of the world; and he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.” The First Coming of Christ is the birth of the Sun there in the East, and we find that He has been traveling the path from East to West.

And how has He been traveling the path? We find that He has been traveling the path in the midst of His Church, in His Temple, His Tabernacle; just as the sun has its tabernacle, because God has placed it… or has placed a tabernacle for the literal sun; and for the spiritual sun, which is Christ, He has also placed a tabernacle, which is His Church.

And He has been in His Church traveling that path from East to West, from stage to stage, from age to age, traveling the path from East to West, until He reached the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age that pertains to the West. And that is why the fulfillment of each age pertains to the territory where each age was fulfilled, and where Christ was manifested through the messenger of each age.

The First Coming of Christ, you see, He was born, He came out in the East, there the Sun of Righteousness was born; and He has been traveling from East to West, that is, from the land of Israel to the land of the American continent; and the American continent consists of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Now see, in the part of Central America there is the entire Caribbean.

And now, we can see how Christ has come from stage to stage, from age to age, traveling that road in His Temple, His Tabernacle, until He comes to this Latin American and Caribbean territory where He is shining.

And look, just as Christ was manifested in the American continent in North America, in the Reverend William Branham, forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ… who came with the spirit and power of Elijah, that ministry of Elijah manifested for the fourth time.

The third time that ministry was manifested was in John the Baptist, the second time was in Elisha and the first time was in Elijah the Tishbite.

And now, in the evening time, in the evening time of the Dispensation of Grace and in the evening time of the seventh age, the Laodicean Age, comes Christ in the evening time manifested in the Reverend William Marrion Branham.

And being manifested in the Reverend William Marrion Branham, we find that he reaches the stage where the Sun finishes shining on the afternoon of the Dispensation of Grace and on the evening of the seventh age, the Laodicean Age; but remember that when the Sun finishes shining on a day (let’s say it ends at sundown), then the light thereafter belongs to the new day, which begins in the afternoon.

And look, the Scripture also tells us that the sun knows its setting, that is, its fall, its end⁵. That is why through the manifestation that Christ had in the Reverend William Branham, the Reverend William Branham could say, speaking of the Second Coming of Christ, he said: “It is good for him to increase and it is good for me to decrease.⁶”

Now, the afternoon sun of a new day that is coming to an end, we find that it is coming to an end, it is beginning to wane, until the time for that ministry comes to an end. And that is why the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ tells us in the book of The Seals in Spanish, on pages 474 and 475⁷, he tells us the same thing that John the Baptist said. When he was told that Jesus was being followed by more people than John, and that He was baptizing more people than John the Baptist, what did John say?: “He must increase, but I must decrease.⁸”

Christ, being the Sun of Righteousness rising in the land of Israel, it was convenient for Him to increase; and to John the Baptist, being the Light of the seventh age of the Hebrew Church, which had reached its end and was being extinguished with the end of the ministry of John the Baptist: John the Baptist, as the Light for that seventh stage or age of the Hebrew Church under the Law, was already extinguishing.

Jesus said of John the Baptist: “He was a burning torch (that is, a burning lamp); and you were willing to walk in his Light. But I have greater testimony than John.⁹” Because John being a Light: the Light of the seventh stage or age of the Hebrew Church under the Law, he was the Light of an age, and was already fading away. John said: “It is better for me to decrease.” Just as the sun decreases and goes down, so it was happening to John the Baptist; but Christ, being the Sun of Righteousness, it was convenient for Him to increase.

The afternoon sun, you see, is convenient for it to diminish, and it comes to its end; and then that sun that begins there for a new day, is the one that is convenient to grow.

Now, in order for the sun to grow it goes through its different stages, in order to grow. And look, the same sun that rose in the East is the one that has been traveling from the East to the West, through His manifestation through those seven angel messengers. It has been Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, the Angel of the Covenant, who has been manifested from age to age through those seven angel messengers, reflected in each angel messenger.

And the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, knowing that he was the Light of the seventh age of the gentile Church, of the seventh candlestick, of that candlestick that was in the candelabrum… The seventh light, that burning wick, was the Reverend William Branham lit with the Fire of the Holy Spirit, shining in the seventh age of the gentile Church in the West, in North America, and from there the Light of God was even extended to other nations. But you see, he says, being the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, he says on page 474 and 475 of the book of The Seals in Spanish, he says¹⁰:

“³²⁶ I don’t know who is going to… what’s going to take place (he is speaking of the Seventh Seal, that is, of the Second Coming of Christ, of the one to whom he is preparing the way). I do not know. I just know that those Seven Thunders holds that mystery. The Heavens was quiet. Everybody understand? It may be time, it may be the hour now, that this great person that we’re expecting to rise on the scene may arise on the scene.

³²⁷ Maybe this ministry, that I have tried to take people back to the Word, has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you, for good. There won’t be two of us here the same time.”

That is, the forerunner and the foreran will not be on Earth at the same time; but if they come to be, by chance, as the forerunner John the Baptist and the foreran Jesus were, what will happen? John said: “It is better for Him to increase and for me to decrease.” And now, what does the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ say? He says:

“^[327] If it is (in other words, if they were both here: the forerunner and the foreran) he’ll increase; I’ll decrease. I don’t know.

³²⁸ But I have been privileged, by God, to look and see what It was, see, see unfold to that much.”

Now, you see that just as Christ was manifested in each angel messenger in each age, in the relevant portion of the Word of God promised for each age, for the Last Day Jesus Christ will be manifested in the portion for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom. In other words, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit was in each age manifested in each angel messenger, in the portion pertaining to each age; and He will be in this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, manifested in the portion pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone.

And just as Saint Paul could say: “After me comes another one,” and that other one that would come after Paul, who would it be? It would be Irenaeus, the next messenger, of the second age of the gentile Church. Then Irenaeus could say: “After me comes another one”; and that would be Martin, who would come for the third age of the gentile Church. Then Martin could say: “After me comes another one”; and that would be Columba, for the fourth age of the gentile Church.

And each of these messengers could say: “After me comes Jesus Christ, manifested in the next one who will come after me.” But you see, the next one to come after him would be the messenger of the next Church age, in which Jesus Christ would come manifested in Holy Spirit, in the portion pertaining to each age.

See how Jesus Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, has been manifested from age to age, reflected in every angel messenger.

And then Columba could say: “After me comes another, and in that other one will come Jesus Christ manifested; Jesus Christ will come in Holy Spirit manifested for His Church.” And then, that other one that would come, would be who? After Columba came Luther, and after Luther came Wesley, and after Wesley came the Reverend William Branham.

Now notice, each could say that after him would come another one.

And now, the Reverend William Branham says that after him will come another one, in whom will come, who? Jesus Christ will come manifested in Holy Spirit; and of which he said that it would be the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation, chapter 19; and the white horse Rider of Revelation 19 is the Holy Spirit, in other words, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit.

He says, praying, on page 277 of the book of The Seals in Spanish¹¹:

“^[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.”

Now, you see, from age to age Christ has called His own —in every age— through the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through every angel messenger.

And now, for the Last Day the Holy Spirit will come again manifested, but in a new age and in a new dispensation; and this will be according to Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Holy Spirit. And it says on page 256 of the book of The Seals in Spanish¹²:

“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.”

In order to see the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, we have to find the veil of flesh, that man in whom Christ will be in Holy Spirit, the Word, manifested in human flesh in the Last Day. And we have to find him where? In the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. We can’t go out of the Mystical Body of Christ, because Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, has been traveling from East to West in His Mystical Body of believers, manifested through the messenger of each age.

And just as He was manifested in each age in the messenger of each age, He has to be manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone in the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, to fulfill these promises, these prophecies for the Last Day, and Christ manifest Himself as the Sun of Righteousness in the Last Day being born, or manifesting Himself in His Church, and thus fulfilling the promise of Malachi, chapter 4, verse 2: “To those who fear my Name, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise, and in His wings He shall bring salvation.”

Now, you see, for the Last Day… The same Sun that was born in the East is the one that would travel from the East to the West; it would be Christ. The same one who was manifested there in human flesh, has been manifested through each angel messenger in human flesh; until we reach this end time, where He would be manifested in His Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and that is the Sun of Righteousness, which is born for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this Last Day, in a new dispensational day and in a new millennial day.

And now, look, this is the same Sun that will be born for the Hebrew people, the Sun that the Hebrew people are waiting for this Last Day, which is the Coming of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in the Last Day; for the Hebrew people, that will be the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord manifested in human flesh in the Last Day.

And now, just as the First Coming of Christ went from East to West, the First Coming of Christ being announced for the blessing of all who would believe in Him: to receive the new birth and thus receive a theophanic body; now the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Sun of Righteousness, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, it is for the sons and daughters of God to receive the blessing of the new body, in the Reclaiming Work of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Day; Work that He will be carrying out in this Last Day and that the elect of the Last Day, who will live in the Age of the Cornerstone, have the promise to be transformed.

Now, it doesn’t matter that some of our own will leave: he will return to this same Age of the Cornerstone, because this age is the Eternal Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The other seven ages have already passed and their transformation didn’t occur; the physical transformation didn’t occur in those ages, but an internal, spiritual transformation, producing the new birth; which also occurs in our time, to then have the external physical transformation, of our physical body; and thus, with the Second Coming of Christ, to receive the benefits of His Reclaiming Work in this Last Day, and thus to receive the transformation of our bodies, and to have an eternal body like that of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and thus to be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

We receive the theophanic body with the new birth, and thus we receive the image of Christ, we receive that image of God, that theophanic body, that theophany. And now we lack the physical part, that is, we lack that physical likeness, to be like our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and thus have an eternal body and live forever in that body.

That is what the Coming of Christ at the Last Day to His Church is for, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, where the Sun of Righteousness, Christ, in the West changes from being the Sun for the Dispensation of Grace: He changes for the Dispensation of the Kingdom. And for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, the Second Coming of Christ is the Sun of Righteousness rising for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in a new dispensational day and in a new millennial day; and in a new age: the Eternal Age, the age where Christ manifests Himself as the Sun of Righteousness to bring salvation to His children on His wings, in other words, in the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

And now, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom revolves around the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, in the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; the Coming of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, which is the Coming of the Lord coming in human flesh, the Word coming in the flesh of a man; and that man has to be the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone; because the Word always comes to a prophet.

To the prophet messenger of each age comes the Word for each age, and to the prophet messenger of each dispensation comes the Word for each dispensation.

And now the Word pertaining to the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Age of the Cornerstone, for the seventh millennium, comes incarnated in a man, who has to be the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, a dispensational messenger; and it has to be in the messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone, a messenger, a man sent by Christ; and that has to be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom Christ would be making known all these things that must shortly come to pass, as He promised in Revelation, chapter 4, saying: “Come up hither (Where are we going to go up? To the Age of the Cornerstone), and I will show you the things that will happen hereafter.”

After these things that have already happened here, there are things that have to happen here: in the Age of the Cornerstone, which couldn’t be made known in the seven stages or ages of the gentile Church.

And in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6, it tells us:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent (who does He say He has sent?) his angel (and what has He sent him for? He says) to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, sent by Christ to make known all these things that must happen soon, we obtain the knowledge of all the Divine Program pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom, all the Divine Program pertaining to the Mystical Body of Christ in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone; to thus receive the faith, the rapturing faith, which is the revelation, the faith 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; to receive the revelation of the Coming of the Sun of Righteousness shining and bringing health, salvation, for all the elect of God in this Last Day.

And now, notice how the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which contains the mystery, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness shining in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and in a new dispensational day and in a new millennial day: the seventh millennium; notice, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which contains the revelation of that mystery, is a Message that begins in the West, in Latin America and the Caribbean, where the Age of the Cornerstone is fulfilled.

And Christ calls and gathers His elect through the Message of the Last Day, the Message of the Age of the Cornerstone, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom; and then that Message reaches the Hebrew people as the Message that contains the revelation of the birth of the Sun of Righteousness, to enlighten not only the elect among the gentiles in Latin America and the Caribbean, but all human beings living on this planet Earth; and to reach the Hebrew people, and to enlighten their understanding, the eyes of understanding, in order to understand the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ and then to understand the mystery of the First Coming of Christ.

Because they will first understand the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ and then they will understand the mystery of the First Coming of Christ; because they will see Him in His Second Coming as the Sun of Righteousness rising and shining; because the sun, which rises in the East, is first manifested in the West.

And just as the Jews, the Hebrews, brought the Gospel of Grace, of the First Coming of Christ, of the Coming of the Sun of Righteousness there in the East: they brought the Message of the Sun of Righteousness in His First Coming there two thousand years ago as the Lamb of God: they brought it to the gentiles through the ministry of Saint Paul and Saint Peter; now, you see, just as the Hebrews brought the Gospel to the gentiles, the gentiles will take it to the Hebrews.

Just as there were two important ministries in the midst of the Hebrew people, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the beginning: the ministry of Saint Peter and the ministry of Saint Paul, where Christ was manifested, the Sun of Righteousness; for the Last Day, in the West, those two ministries will be typified in the ministries of Peter and Paul, which will be the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, manifested to take the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom to the Hebrew people. They are the ones who bring the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom to the Hebrew people. Just as the Hebrews brought the Gospel to the gentiles, the gentiles will take it to the Hebrews¹³.

Now, notice, the Gospel that reaches the Hebrews is 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. And through the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of the Two Olive Trees, is that the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will go to the Hebrew people.

And from where will the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom go? From among the gentiles, from the Latin American and the Caribbean people, from the West, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will go to the Hebrew people.

And the Hebrew people will see the birth of the Sun of Righteousness, and will see His wings —the ministries of Moses and Elijah— bringing salvation to the Hebrew people; but first to the gentile Church, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and in a new millennial day, that is, in the seventh millennium.

The Message of the Second Coming of Christ is a Message from West to East; that is the path for the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, that is the path for the Message of the Second Coming of Christ for this Last Day as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as the King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.

That is the path for the Sun of Righteousness for this Last Day, for this seventh millennium that has begun, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind; but if we leave it as it is (the calendar), then there are only about 2 years left to reach the year 2000 and then begin the year 2001, and thus be in the seventh millennium; but the calendar is behind, and God, well, has not fallen behind in His calendar.

So it is in the West —where the Age of the Cornerstone is fulfilled among Latin American and Caribbean people— that the Sun is born; the Sun of Righteousness is born in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Church, for the Age of the Cornerstone will be dressed not by the moon; it will no longer be represented by the moon but by the sun; because it reaches the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Sun.

And that is why in Revelation, chapter 12, we find both the Hebrew people and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ represented in that woman clothed with the sun; because that woman clothed with the sun is both the earthly Israel and the heavenly Israel, it is both the Hebrew people and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It says:

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”

Now we can see here that crown of twelve stars, which are the twelve apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. And now, clothed with the sun is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which appears there clothed with the sun; and the sun is Christ. And Christ, in His Second Coming shining, will be manifested in His Church, and thus His Church will be clothed with the Sun; no longer with the Moon, but with the Sun.

Now look how this great mystery, this manifestation of the Church, is, you see, to be fulfilled in the Age of the Cornerstone, in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this Last Day will be clothed with the Sun.

Let’s see, in the message titled “Shalom¹⁴”, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 15 and page 16 the following way:

“Now, the other day, we’ve had in the event of the history of the church now…In the—the Bible, the moon represents the ‘church,’ and the sun represents ‘Christ.’ For we find that in Revelation, the 12th chapter, the woman which was the ‘church,’ she was found with the moon under her feet and the sun at her head, twelve stars in her crown. Which, the—the old Orthodox Jewish law was under her feet, she had crossed over that into the light of the sun. Twelve stars are the ‘twelve apostles’ that brought the messages to us, now, under the Holy Spirit. Now we find that the moon in the heavens is to reflect the light of the sun, in the absence of the sun. It gives us—it gives us light to get around. But it’s still… No matter how much it reflects, it’s still not the perfect light, […] and the moon reflects its light in the absence of the sun. But when the sun comes up, then the moon is not needed no more.

And today the Church is reflecting the Light of the absent Son of God. The Church is a reflection of the Light. Because He said, ‘A little while and the world seeth Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the age. The works that I do,’ Lights that He made manifest. And there’s no Light except through the Word of God.

That sun is the Word of God. In the beginning, God said, ‘Let there be light.’ And when the manifested Word of God, when the Word of God was manifested, there was light. First, God spoke it. What if it didn’t manifest? Then it wasn’t light yet. But when He spoke it, and then it was manifested, vindicated, His Word was a-vindicated, light come into existence.

And that’s the only way it can be done now, is when the Word is vindicated, God’s written Word vindicated, then it shows Light. It’s, a portion is lit, or put out for each age. We find it in the Church Ages, we find it in the Old—the Old Testament church ages. Each time that there come a time for a—a certain manifestation of the journey, there was a prophet came to the earth. And the Word came to the prophet, and he made that Word live. And when that Word was identified, it reflected God. And there was the—the age, there was the Light. And that’s the way Light comes today.”

Now see how the Light for our time would be manifested, the Light of the Sun. The Light of the Sun for the Age of the Cornerstone is the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit fulfilling His Word promised for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in that glorious stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And notice how the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has entered in this end time into the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Light of the Sun, where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is clothed with the Sun in this end time; and that is where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ gets a clear and complete knowledge of all the Program of God for this end time; so and so clear that this same Light that in this end time is manifested in His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone, is the same Light that will shine throughout the Millennial Kingdom.

In other words, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will be making known to the human beings, throughout the Millennial Kingdom, the entire Divine Program pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ, and it will be making known the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ.

That is why in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 16, the face of the Son of Man shines like the sun; it says: “…and his countenance was as the sun.” And in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1, the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, appears (it says here in Revelation, chapter 10) appears with His face like the sun; it says:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.”

Now we can see that this Angel that descends from Heaven is Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, the same Sun that was there in the East, in the land of Israel, that is the same Sun that descends from Heaven in this Last Day. It is the same Angel of the Covenant that became flesh two thousand years ago and was manifested in the East in His First Coming.

And now, we find that this Angel of the Covenant, you see, He appears in Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on, He appears wrapped in a cloud there in Heaven, the rainbow over His head, and His face was like the sun. We find that on February 28, 1963, seven angels appeared in heaven and caught up to heaven, that constellation of angels, caught up the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

Science saw that cloud formed by angels, took the picture, which we have today, and which appeared in Science magazine and Life magazine in 1963 as a mysterious cloud; but the mystery of that cloud is nothing less than the presence of the seven angels of the Lord Jesus Christ of the seven ages of the gentile Church, and the presence of the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, there with them.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says on page 469 of the book of The Seals, he says¹⁵:

“²⁷⁵ And did you notice? ‘That one Angel,’ I said, ‘in there, was a strange Angel.’ He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one (here we have him: three on each side and one on the top) right next to me here (which was this one</em>; here are His extended wings), counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, ‘He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward’ (you remember) ‘like that.’ I said, ‘It picked me up; lifted me up.’ You remember that?

²⁷⁶ Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what This has meant (that is, this Seventh Seal), for one time in life!”

Which of these angels has the Seventh Seal? This one who is flying here with His wings extended. If we turn the picture to the right, you see, this is the one that forms the white hair of the Lord Jesus Christ; this is the one that forms that white hair of the Lord Jesus Christ as Judge of all the Earth. And here we have the other angels forming the beard of the Lord.

Now see that that Angel, it says here… this Angel was flying how? He was flying towards the East; that is, he was coming from the West flying towards the East. This is because His Message is from West to East; like the sun that is going to rise in the land of Israel, in the East, in the Middle East, is the same sun that is first in the West.

And now, you see, this Angel, the Angel of the Covenant, which was manifested in the East, two thousand years ago, in human flesh, now He appears in the West: He appears over the skies of Arizona, with the seven angel messengers; and whenever God is going to do something on Earth, He does it first, He shows it, in heaven.

Everything that was seen there, is type and figure of what God will be doing in this end time; because it is for the end time that the angel messengers of the seven ages of the gentile Church will come resurrected with the group of each age, and the fulfillment of the Second Coming of Christ will also be there; they will come to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone resurrected with their angel messengers, and Christ will also be in His Church manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone.

And there will be a great gathering of angel messengers in the Age of the Cornerstone, with the group of each angel messenger of past ages and the group of the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone. And all that has been shown in heaven will be fulfilled on Earth on this Last Day.

Now, even in heaven, the Eternal Name of God, which you have interpreted as Jehovah, was there reflected, manifested. The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, speaking of that great event of February 28, 1963, says¹⁶:

“Just exactly what He showed us what would come when He set that Light up there, in revelation to it, to show the world. When He sent the seven Angels to reveal the seven messengers that had been down through there, and show the loose ends, each Angel coming each day and revealing the loose ends that Luther left, and Wesley left, and Pentecost left, is all represented in there.”

In other words, everything is represented where? It’s all represented there, in that meeting of angels on February 28, 1963. It’s all represented where? There.

“And in the very type and shadow of the great Shalom, Jehovah, Yahweh.”

In other words, the four consonant letters that God gave to the prophet Moses in chapter 3 of Exodus as the Name of God…, which our brother Branham mentions as JVHU, but in the Bible dictionary and in some Bible versions or Bible translations place rather the letters that I will be reading: YHWH.

YHWH are the letters given here in the Bible dictionary; and we also find this in some Bibles that have been written (Bibles in different translations), we find in some Bibles, in the notes, that give these letters: YHWH.

Now, see, all that was reflected there, in that constellation of angels, because the one with those four letters was there: YHWH (or as our brother Branham says: JVHU); because who is there? The Angel who was very different from the rest, which is the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in His theophanic body, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit; so that, in the Last Day, the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, He would be manifested on Earth in human flesh: for Jesus Christ to come in Holy Spirit manifested in human flesh in a man, in the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Angel Messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, in order to fulfill what was reflected there in heaven by that Angel who was very different from the rest.

Just as He had a manifestation in every angel messenger in every age, He will have His final manifestation in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Angel Messenger of the Age of the Cornerstone and Angel Messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; to shine in the midst of His Church, and His Church to be covered by the Light of the Sun of Righteousness; and thus His Church to be wrapped in the Light of the Sun of Righteousness in this Last Day.

And thus this Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will not be clothed with the Moon, but will be clothed with the Sun, which is Christ, the Word, for that Light, that Word to be revealed in this Last Day: for Christ to be revealed, the Angel of the Covenant in Holy Spirit in human flesh in His Angel Messenger.

And of this revelation is that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be filled in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; and so the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be clothed with the Sun in this end time, and then the Hebrew people.

Because the Hebrew people will also receive the Light of the Sun of Righteousness shining in this Last Day, in the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant of the Last Day, of the Angel of the Lord manifested in human flesh in the Last Day in His Angel Messenger.

This is the same revelation that the Hebrew people will receive, and so will the Hebrew people be clothed with the Sun; so will the Hebrew people be represented here in this woman who is clothed with the Sun with the Moon under her feet; because the seven ages of the Hebrew Church under the Law have already passed, and the seven ages of the gentile Church under Grace have also passed; and now we are higher.

We are above the seven ages of the gentile Church, with the Moon, which represents… The seven ages of the gentile Church are how? They are under our feet; because we are up here, in the Age of the Cornerstone; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is clothed here (with what?) with the Sun.

First she was clothed with the Moon, here in the ages of the gentile Church, but now the Church of Jesus Christ has gone up to the Age of the Cornerstone and is clothed with the Sun; because the manifestation of Christ for this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, is like the Sun of Righteousness rising, going up, emerging in a new millennial day and in a new dispensational day.

There was a case here, mentioned by the Reverend William Branham, of a young man who went out fishing with an old fisherman, and there was a storm during the night, and it was so dark that they didn’t know where they were. And, you see, this fishing or this fishing trip was on the West coast; and it was all so dark, and the storm was so terrible, and there was a mist, a terrible mist; and it says¹⁷:

“So this fisherman was kind of a greenhorn (that is, the young fisherman), you know. He went fishing, and they drifted out. Waiting for daylight to come (but with that young fisherman was, what?, an old fisherman), you know. And they—and they couldn’t hear the foghorn no more, and this fisherman got all excited, said, ‘Say, we’re drifting out to sea! Hey!’ Got all excited.

He said (that is, the old fisherman, he said), ‘Sit down, son. Sit down.’ The old fisherman, quiet, you know. He knowed what he was talking about. Said, ‘Just wait until the sun comes up, then we can see where we’re at.’ You say, ‘Must I be Methodist? Baptist? Pentecostal?’

Just wait. The Son comes up…”

The Son is the Sun, Jesus Christ. The Son of God is represented in what? In the sun.

“Just wait. The Son comes up, we’ll see where we’re at. He is the Word. Wait till you see the Word manifested, shining across the Seed, the wave Sheaf, we’ll see where we’re at.”

And the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has reached the time when the Son, Jesus Christ, has emerged in the Age of the Cornerstone as the Sun of Righteousness manifested, so that we can see where we are.

Where are we? We are in the Age of the Cornerstone. We are in the most glorious age of all ages, waiting for the dead in Christ to resurrect and waiting until the last of the elect is called and gathered into the Age of the Cornerstone; and so let’s all be prepared to be transformed and raptured in this Last Day.

We are seeing where we are in this end time: we are in a new dispensational day, in the new day of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, the seventh dispensation; and we are in a new day of age, the Age of the Cornerstone; and we are in a new millennial day, if we add to the calendar the years it is behind; we are then in the seventh millennium, already beginning, where the rising Sun has begun to shine, to glow.

Now, you see how in this Day in which we are, this spiritual day, we are living in the most glorious part of the Mystical Body of Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is dressed of the Sun. She is clothed (in what?) with Christ, she is clothed with Christ in His Second Coming as the Sun of Righteousness shining; and she obtains all the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ and she obtains all the benefits of the Second Coming of Christ in His Reclaiming Work as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords.

And just as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ says…, speaking about a little dewdrop that comes down at night, because of the dew, comes down to the earth, and it is placed on the leaves of trees and plants; and then, in the morning, you see on the leaves little drops of water, of dew, that begin to shine when the sun begins to rise. Why? Because that is the sun, which will take them where they were before they were on earth, it will take them to the place of their origin¹⁸.

And so it is when God’s elect in the Age of Cornerstone see the Sun rising and shining in this Last Day: they see the Coming of the rising Sun, the Coming of Christ shining, to take us to our heavenly Father’s House in this Last Day.

Now, notice, in order for the sun to carry those little dewdrops, the sun’s rays penetrate into that little dewdrop and produce a change, a transformation, in that little dewdrop; and when that little dewdrop is transformed: it disappears, nobody sees it go. Why? Because it was changed and stopped being seen by human beings, by human sight. And the elect, like little dewdrops, of dew, will be transformed; and we will go from here to the House of our heavenly Father, from where we have come to this planet Earth.

Now see how the birth of the Sun, which is the Second Coming of Christ, is to take us to our heavenly Father’s House. He said¹⁹: “In my Father’s house are many mansions (…) I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” That is what the Second Coming of Christ is as the Sun of Righteousness shining.

And in His Second Coming and the Program of His Second Coming is a Program from West to East: it begins in the West and it is going to go towards the East; just as the Angel who was different from the rest was coming from the West, and was looking towards the East, and was traveling from West to East; because that is the Message of the Coming of that Angel who was very different from the rest.

The Message that revolves around that Angel that was different from the rest is the Message of the Second Coming of Christ; because that Angel is Christ appearing along with those seven angels there in heaven in 1963, February 28, 1963, showing what will be happening in this end time at the end of the Seventh Seal.

At the end of the Seventh Seal, the seven angel messengers will appear with the group they had in each age. And we will be here on Earth, those of us who have remained until that time (which will be the majority of the elect of this time, of the Age of the Cornerstone), and we will be transformed; those of our age who have departed will also return in eternal bodies. And then we will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

But first there will be a manifestation in a period of time of 30 to 40 days, already being adopted and with the eternal body; and the Light, which will be shining, the Light of the Second Coming, which will be shining in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone, that Light will reach the East, to the Hebrew people.

And they will see Him at the top of Mount Zion, just as He was seen at the top of Mount Transfiguration with His face as the sun, and just as Moses and Elijah were also seen at the top of Mount Transfiguration with our Lord Jesus Christ²⁰. All of this speaks of what will be happening in this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the summit or peak of Mount Zion, of the Mount of God, of heavenly Israel.

This was also represented on Mount Sinai. What was seen there is what would also be seen later on Mount Transfiguration and would be seen on the Mount of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone. And there, you see, God came with the thousands of thousands²¹. And on Mount Transfiguration, we find that those thousands of thousands are there represented in Christ, in Moses and in Elijah.

And on the Mount of God, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, there, with the Coming of the Lord, also the thousands of thousands or millions of millions of the Mystical Body of Christ of past ages and those of our time will come. We will be transformed, as Christ has promised and as Christ was transfigured before His disciples.

And now, see how Moses and Elijah came from the sixth dimension to have that meeting with Jesus there; and so all those who are in the sixth dimension will also come for the meeting with Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone: Christ will bring them from the sixth dimension.

Now, see how all these things that happened in the past testify of things that will happen in this end time.

Now, what was seen in the cloud of angels on February 28, 1963, and was taken in pictures, that is what Christ will be materializing in the Age of the Cornerstone.

The seven angel messengers of the seven ages were already manifested here, and the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ is only manifested here, in whom Christ will be manifested; and the seven angel messengers will come to that age with the elect of their ages when they resurrect in this end time. That is what the manifestation of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom is for.

Now, He has a Program which He is carrying out in the Age of the Cornerstone; and we don’t know how many years it will take Him to carry out all that Program that He has to carry out in this Last Day. But the culmination of that Program is at the end of the Seventh Seal; because first, notice, these Seals are fulfilled and this Seventh Seal is fulfilled, and He carries out the relevant Work during that time of the manifestation of Christ, which is in a progressive stage until He reaches the top of His Work. Just as the first Coming of Christ was, which the First Coming of Christ was on Earth fulfilled for 33 years, but at the end of His ministry was that He carried out the culminating part of His First Coming.

Now, we don’t know how long Christ will be manifested in human flesh in the Age of the Cornerstone; but at the end of that manifestation in human flesh, the Reclaiming Work will be done, and we who are alive will be transformed after the dead in Christ are resurrected.

Now we can see the mystery of the journey of the Sun, Christ, in His First Coming: from East to West; and the journey of the Sun, Christ, in His Second Coming: from West to East, for this end time.

See where it is that the Sun intertwines from East to West with the Sun from West to East; see where Christ’s First Coming and His journey from East to West intertwine: they intertwine where? In the West. In the West is where the Message of the First Coming of Christ is intertwined with the Message of the Second Coming of Christ; that is where the Message of the Gospel of Grace and the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom are intertwined.

Just as the Message of the Dispensation of the Law, a Message that the Hebrew people received in the midst of the gentiles there on Mount Sinai, a gentile mountain, we find that later the Message of Grace was intertwined with the Message of the Law…, they were intertwined in the land of Israel, there in Jerusalem, they were intertwined in the East; because there, in the East, it was that the Dispensation of the Law came to an end with the seventh stage or age of the Hebrew Church under the Law.

And now, it is in the West that the journey of the Sun from East to West comes to an end, so that with the Second Coming of Christ in the West, the journey of the Sun from West to East begins; with the Message that goes from West to East, which is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

The journey of the Sun from West to East is the mystery to be revealed in this Last Day, and thus be made known to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and then to the Hebrew people, and all human beings living on this planet Earth, and all human beings who will be in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. It is the journey of the Sun from West to East the mystery contained in the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

It has been a great privilege to be with you tonight, testifying to you of this mystery of THE JOURNEY OF THE SUN FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST; just as we saw the mystery of the journey of the Sun from East to West, that is, the journey of the First Coming of Christ, which is the Sun that was born in the East and would come to the West; and then the Second Coming of Christ to be born in the West, in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the heavenly Israel; just as the First Coming of Christ was born (where?) in the East, in the midst of the earthly Israel, which was awaiting the Coming of the Messiah.

And now, the Second Coming of the Messiah, the Second Coming of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the one that has been waiting for Him; and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time is in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the age that pertains to Latin America and the Caribbean.

It is from the West that the promise of the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant is fulfilled; and that is the Sun of the West that will travel to the East, shining the soul and the understanding of all human beings during the seventh millennium and during this time that precedes the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Sun, which has come from the East to the West and is now rising in the West as the Sun of the West to go to the East, be upon each of you and upon me also; and may our understanding and soul be enlightened, and let us understand all these mysteries pertaining to this Last Day; and may soon all the elect of the Last Day be called and gathered together, and let us all be transformed, all those who remain, and may we all be made in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, and continue to spend a night filled with the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And to finish, where are God’s elect who would see the Sun of the West rising and shining to go from West to East? Well, here we are in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Latin America and the Caribbean is the territory that has the greatest privilege and blessing that any nation has ever had after the Hebrew people, who had the blessing of the First Coming of Christ.

Who would have imagined that this mystery would be opened in Latin America and the Caribbean? Nobody could imagine it; but it has been opened.

Well, may God continue to bless you all, may God keep you; and until next Sunday, God willing, when I will be with you again, to continue seeing the entire Divine Program for our time, and thus receive the blessings of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, and may you have a wonderful evening.

“THE SUN’S JOURNEY.”
