Time to awaken to the reality of what God is doing today

Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present, listeners, viewers and those through the Internet in the different countries of Latin America, the Caribbean and North America.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and upon me also; and may He fill us with the knowledge of His Program for this Last Day, and prepare us, and soon transform our bodies and take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

On this occasion I want to read in Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 14 to 15, where Saint Paul says…, Saint Paul taking Isaiah as a reference, chapter 60, verse 1 and on, Saint Paul says here in this passage:

“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (that is, the Holy Spirit)…”

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

Our subject for this occasion is: “TIME TO AWAKEN TO THE REALITY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY.”

In the Divine Program we find that there are ages and dispensations; and for each age and for each dispensation God has assigned the Work that He will carry out in that time; and He has assigned the man, the messenger, that He will use in that time, and the Message that that messenger will preach for that time.

And no one can do the Work of God pertaining to an age or a dispensation if he is not the messenger sent by Christ for that age or for that dispensation, with the Message pertaining to that time; another Message will not work.

For example, if he comes, at the time of the liberation of the Hebrew people, if a man came saying: “God has promised that He is going to deliver His people Israel; therefore, it is necessary to build an ark, because we have to go through the Red Sea when God delivers us. We are going to build an ark, because God is going to deliver His people: He is going to take us to the promised land, to the land of Israel”…; but that Message of building an ark wasn’t going to work for that time, because that was the Message of the prophet Noah.

Now, the ark always works if you have the ark updated for the time in which you live. The ark represents Christ, the Word; and if you have Christ, the Word, for the time in which you live: you have the ark, and it works well in that way; but we can’t put the people into an age or dispensation that has already passed for the person to receive the blessings of God.

For example, if we get into the stage of Noah’s time, we can’t obtain the benefits that God has for this time. But remember that those times of Noah, since they were a time of dispensational intertwining and God sent a dispensational prophet, those times reflect what would be the end time, the time in which we are living.

Christ, speaking of the Coming of the Son of Man, said that it would be as in the days of Noah and also as in the days of Lot.¹ In the days of Noah we have a dispensational prophet with a dispensational Message in a dispensational intertwining; and for the time of Lot we also have a dispensational messenger, which was the prophet and patriarch Abraham, with a dispensational Message.

Also the days of the Coming of the Son of Man for the Last Day are like the days of Jesus; because it is in a dispensational intertwine where the Coming of the Son of Man is promised to be fulfilled, in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium; and He comes with His Angels to call and gather all the elect of God with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

To all these things pertaining to this Last Day, the whole Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has to be awake; because otherwise the fulfillment of all these divine promises pertaining to the Last Day would pass over her, and it would happen to her as it did to the Hebrew people: who were waiting for the Coming of the Messiah and were also waiting for the coming of the prophet Elijah, who would be preparing the way for the Messiah…; and all that was fulfilled…

The coming of the forerunner, who prepared the way for the Messiah, was John the Baptist, who came with the spirit and power of Elijah, as the Archangel Gabriel said²; and as Jesus also said and testified, saying that John was that Elijah who was to come.

Matthew, chapter 11, verse 14, and chapter 17 of Matthew, verse 10 to 13; in those two passages Jesus testifies of John the Baptist, that John was that Elijah that was to come at that time.

And many people were waiting for the prophet Elijah literally, that he would come as he left; for if God promised that Elijah would come, they thought and interpreted that he had to come as he left. And now, “he came, and they knew him not, and did unto him whatsoever they pleased.”

When God promises that a prophet who came in the past will come, that promise is fulfilled in a man of the time when God will fulfill that promise; and the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, comes in that man operating the ministry of that prophet that He sent in past times. That is the return and ministry and coming of a prophet who came in the past, promised to come again.

Now, the prophet Elijah, notice, is the man who had a ministry of the Holy Spirit that would be repeated five times; that ministry would be repeated in five different men.

That is, first in Elijah the Tishbite.³ For the second time that ministry was repeated, the Holy Spirit repeated it, the Spirit of Christ that was in Elijah, repeated it in Elisha; because the Spirit of Christ was then in Elisha manifested, operating that ministry of Elijah in a double portion.⁴

And then He repeated that ministry a third time in John the Baptist, who was filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb⁵; and it was the Holy Spirit who operated that ministry. But they were not spiritually awake at that time; the Hebrew people as a nation and the Hebrew religion as a religion, were not awake to the fulfillment of that promise, and they thought that John the Baptist was a madman.

Jesus, speaking of John the Baptist and the opinion that the Hebrew people had about John the Baptist, said, “John the Baptist came, who neither ate nor drank…” He neither ate nor drank like other men, but ate grasshoppers (which are those locusts) and also wild honey⁶; and he drank water from the river and from wherever he could find water. He didn’t eat like other people, who could sit at a very fine table and eat with kings and eat with the other priests. John had no time for such things: his ministry was so important and his work was so much, and he had so little time to carry it out, that he had to lead a simple life and eat that way, whatever he could find.

And Jesus said: “John the Baptist came, who neither ate nor drank, and they said, he is a madman. And now cometh the Son of man, who eateth and drinketh, and they say, This is a gluttonous man, a winebibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners,”⁷ That is, to one, because he didn’t eat and drink like other people, they said that he was a madman, that he had demons; and to Jesus, because He ate and drank, they said that He was a gluttonous man and a winebibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. There is no way to understand people.

And these religious leaders, with so many theology degrees, there is no way to understand them either; they have their own interpretations of what should be the fulfillment of the prophecies that God has given, they have their own interpretation of what should be the coming of the forerunner of the Coming of the Messiah and they have their own interpretation of what should be the Coming of the Messiah.

And when the coming of the forerunner was fulfilled, the Elijah who was to come was called John (but the ministry was the ministry of Elijah, operated by the Holy Spirit); but they couldn’t recognize him, because they had their own interpretations of what God had promised.

And God has nothing to do with the interpretations that people give to what God has promised. God has to do with what He promised; and when the time comes, He has to fulfill what He promised; whether the great wise men in religious matters of this world and of the religions, or Hebrew religion or Christian religion, agree or disagree.

So God can’t ask the religious leaders for permission to fulfill what He promised and ask them: “Is it okay this way, to fulfill it this way? How you have interpreted it?, to fulfill it in that way.”

What came first: the thought and prophecy…, God’s thought expressed in the form of prophecy, or the interpretation given to it by theologians? God’s thought was first as to what He was going to do, and the way He was going to do it; and then it was prophesied through God’s prophets.

Therefore, what is first, remains forever; and what has become the interpretations, that is to take away. And the correct interpretation is the one that God gives it when He fulfills what He promised.

The fulfillment of what He promised is the perfect interpretation of what God promised. And any interpretation that is not in accordance with the fulfillment of what God promised: we must cast it aside, and stay with the interpretation that God gives it, which is the fulfillment of what He promised; even if it doesn’t fit with the interpretation that the great wise and knowledgeable men of this world had given it.

Jesus said well in Matthew, chapter 11, verses 25 and on, when He said:

“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”

God hid all these things of the First Coming of Christ, He hid them from the wise and knowledgeable men; and although those prophecies were fulfilled there, they couldn’t see them: they were hidden from the wise and knowledgeable men. In other words, all that prophecy, the fulfillment of it, was hidden: everything was hidden from the theological understanding of the great wise men in divinity and theology of the Hebrew religion.

And if God hid the mystery of the First Coming of Christ from the wise and knowledgeable men, from the theologians and doctors of divinity, from the great religious leaders of the Hebrew religion, the question is: Will God also hide the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ from the wise and knowledgeable men in theology, in religious matters, of the Christian religion? If He did it back then, in His First Coming, let there be no doubt that He will do it in His Second Coming; for if He doesn’t, He would then have to ask forgiveness from the religious wise men, theologians and doctors in divinity, of the Hebrew religion there, of the time of Jesus.

Everything worked together for good, so that the Gospel would pass from the Hebrews to the gentiles,⁸ and salvation would pass from the Hebrews to the gentiles,⁹ and God would call from among the gentiles a people for His Name.¹⁰

And everything will work together for good in the Last Day, in the Second Coming of Christ: God will blind the eyes of the wise and knowledgeable men of the Last Day, and will reveal the mystery of His Second Coming to the children; because thus it pleased Him back then, to reveal His First Coming to the children, and He will also do it in His Second Coming.

And all will work together for good, so that the Gospel will then pass from the gentiles to the Hebrew people, to the Hebrews; who are waiting for the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work; as Son of Man and Son of David, to sit on the Throne of David and rule with His Church for a thousand years and then for all eternity, in the midst of the Hebrew people and in the midst of this planet Earth.

And the Hebrews will be blessed in the Divine Program of the glorious Kingdom of the Messiah; that is where the blessing is for the Hebrew people. Outside of that glorious Kingdom of the Messiah that He will establish at His Coming, there is no blessing for the Hebrew people; but with the Coming of the Kingdom of God being established in the midst of the Hebrew people, and the Messiah sitting on the Throne of David, and ruling over the Hebrew people and over all nations, blessing will come to all the Hebrew people; and even the wilderness will flourish, not only as it has flourished at present, but in all its fullness,¹¹ because for the Millennial Kingdom the Earth will be straightened, those 10 degrees [10°], approximately, that it has of inclination.

How is God going to do it? How is He going to straighten those 10° that it has? During the great tribulation, by means of those atomic explosions; because everything is already prepared and the atomic fire is prepared, and the atomic fire has to be unleashed on the Earth, and mainly on certain territories, in a world war that will come; and that will cause the Earth to straighten up. With those nuclear explosions, and volcanoes erupting, and earthquakes, and all these things, the Earth will be put in its proper position.

For example, look. If in this place, at the top, this notebook being tilted, there is an explosion, watch what happens: an explosion, and it straightens up.¹² And so it will be during the great tribulation. The Earth will straighten up, and that is why there will not be those stages of cold and snow during the Millennial Kingdom, as there are today in the different countries; it will be a spring season for the planet Earth under the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Everything will be in the right place.

That is why the Earth is in labor pains, to give birth to a new world.¹³ And it will be a world that will be straightened, just as the people who will be living in that Millennial Kingdom will be straightened before God; they will be placed straight before God, as the planet Earth also, to walk upright before God in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Now, we have to awaken to the reality of the things promised for this end time, which will bring into existence the fulfillment of the resurrection of the dead in Christ, of the transformation of us who live, of the calling of the Hebrew people with the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet or Seventh Trumpet, and the rapture or catching away of the elect being taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, and the things that will be happening here on Earth during the great tribulation. But we are more interested in what will be happening in our heavenly Father’s House, which is the place where we are going to be.

The prophetic Word that God spoke through the prophet Isaiah will be fulfilled, around chapter 26 of Isaiah, where there is a prophecy related to the end time, where it says: chapter 26, verse 20 to 21, it says:

“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast (which is, the wrath, the great tribulation).

For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”

Those are the things that will be happening in the great tribulation; but the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will already be hidden with Christ in the House of our heavenly Father, in the Great Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and the Door will already be closed. While the wrath passes, while the evil time passes, we will be spending a good time in the House of our heavenly Father.

Christ said: “In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have said it before: I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again (that is His Second Coming), and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” He says: “I will take you unto Myself,” because His Church is His Mystical Body of believers, it is part of Christ. That is in John, chapter 14.

Now, we can see that we have to wake up to all these promises pertaining to this end time so that we don’t miss what God is doing in this end time. We have to be awake to the reality of God’s Program for this end time.

We have been called in this end time, do you know what for? Let’s see what Reverend William Branham tells us that we have been called for in this end time. In the message “Recognizing the Day and its Message,” page 42, notice what he says:¹⁴

“^[207] Let’s recognize It, friends, for we are called to gather together for the sounding of the Trumpet. ‘For the Trumpet of the Lord shall sound, then time shall be no more.’”

For what have we been called and for what are we being gathered? To be gathered to hear the sound of that Last Trumpet of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 50 to 56; which is the same Trumpet of God of First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 14 to 17; and it is the same trumpet that was sounded or blown when Joseph, the prince, second in the kingdom of the pharaoh (Joseph the son of Jacob), went out, got up from his seat and went out: that trumpet was sounded and it was proclaimed: “Bend the knee to Joseph!”¹⁵ That is the same Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet that announces the Coming of the Lord; because the Seventh Trumpet or Last Trumpet, like the Seventh Seal, is the Coming of the Lord.¹⁶

And listening to the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Seventh Trumpet, is that we obtain the knowledge of all these things pertaining to this end time. With that Trumpet is that all the sons and daughters of God are awakened: awakened from the spiritual sleep, to awaken to the reality of what God is doing in this end time; and to notice how all those prophecies relevant to this Last Day are being fulfilled; and to see how Christ, just as He worked in His seven stages or ages of the gentile Church through His messengers, in this Last Day He would be working through His Angel Messenger.

That is why John fell down at the feet of the Angel of Jesus, to worship Him, but He told him not to do it; because that Angel is the prophet of the Last Day, of the seventh millennium: of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the seventh millennium, and of the Age of the Cornerstone; and he is not the Lord Jesus Christ: he is only a redeemed one by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, he is one of the members of the Mystical Body of Christ.

And now, we all have to awaken to the reality of what God is doing today, in our time, which we have been allotted to live in; and listen to the Voice of Christ, that Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the mystery of the seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, speaking directly to our soul and revealing to us the mystery of the Seventh Seal. With that mystery being revealed is that all the elect of God from among the gentiles are called and gathered into the Mystical Body of Christ.

And when the Mystical Body of Christ is completed in the Age of the Cornerstone, then Christ will finish His Work of Intercession in Heaven, and He will come out of His Work of Intercession as High Priest in Heaven, and there will be no more Blood there on the Mercy Seat; and Christ will already reclaim all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood: He will resurrect the dead in Christ and transform us all; and there He will already be fully there as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, and will be as Judge of all the Earth, in His manifestation in the midst of His Church, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Last Day, that is, in the seventh millennium.

The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ was speaking something very important in relation to the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and he told us that it was related to the Millennial Kingdom and was related to the Millennium. Let’s see; page 146 of the book of Quotations says, at the end of this passage 1303, it says:¹⁷

“All sin has to come to annihilation. All sin has to be done away with. Therefore, in the great Millennium when the resurrection comes, we will not have to be reborn again by our fathers and mothers, but God like He did in the beginning will call man from the dust of the earth, and his helpmate with him. That’s right. That’s the way He did it at the beginning.”

And when does it say it will be? He says:

“…in the great Millennium when the resurrection comes, we will not have to be reborn again by our fathers and mothers…”

The Great Millennium, that is, the seventh millennium, which is the Last Day before God. It is in that Last Day or seventh millennium that the resurrection of the dead in Christ will be fulfilled, and the transformation of us who live.

Now, some people will think about the Millennium, the seventh millennium, and they will say: “Do we have to wait that long?” If we add to the calendar the years of delay that it has, we are already in the seventh millennium. So we are in the time where from one moment to the next the number of God’s elect in the Mystical Body of Christ will be completed, in the Age of the Cornerstone, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected and we who are alive will be transformed.

And when that happens, it will have happened in which millennium? In the seventh millennium; in that millennium where Christ will establish His Kingdom on this planet Earth.

See, here, on page 138 of the book of Quotations also, verse 1236, it says:¹⁸

“‘And then shall he send his angels, and… gather together his elect from the four winds, and shall… and the utmost parts of the earth to be… and to the utmost parts of heaven.’ That’s talking of the resurrection, the translation, going up. He’ll send forth His angels to gather. Did you ever think what the angels are? Huh? Messengers. He’ll gather them together, congregate them together (see?), bringing them, bind them together from the utmost parts of the earth to the utmost parts of Heaven, the Word that was, been made manifest on earth. See? Get it? The Word’s been spoken; here It’s manifested.”

And now, all those who had the Word of God for the age in which they lived were the Word of God for their time, along with the messenger of God for that time; and those are the ones who in the Last Day will resurrect in the resurrection in eternal bodies, and ours who have already departed; and we who are alive: all those who have the Word of God for our time (the Word of God for the Age of the Cornerstone, the Word of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom) will be transformed in this end time when the dead in Christ are resurrected, all those who will be hearing the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, which precedes the resurrection, the Great Voice of Trumpet, which would sound on the Last Day.

Now, around that Word that you have received and that theophanic body that you have received, the new body will materialize: the physical and eternal body that we are to have; for that which is seen is made of that which was not seen.¹⁹

The Word became flesh, and dwelt among human beings,²⁰ and was known by the name of Jesus; first He had to be in His theophanic body, and then He became flesh and dwelt among the Hebrew people.

And before a person receives the physical and eternal body, he must first have his theophanic body: having believed in Christ as his Savior and having been born again; and already have his theophanic body, to then obtain the physical and eternal body that He has promised for all of us. That is why it is so important to be awake in this end time.

Christ, speaking of the Coming of the Son of Man, said: “Watch and pray; for you do not know at what hour the Son of Man is coming.”²¹ He taught us to be awake watching, watching for the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, watching for the Second Coming of Christ; because those who will be watching, and will see Him at His Coming and will receive Him, are those who will go with Him, and are represented in the wise virgins of Matthew, chapter 25, verse 10 to 13.

It says that while the foolish virgins went to buy oil, “the bridegroom came; and they that were ready (the wise virgins) went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.” Then came also the foolish virgins knocking at the door, but the door was shut; and they remained, they had to be cast into the great tribulation: they remained to go through the great tribulation, where they will be purified by the judgment of the great tribulation, as Israel also will be purified in the great tribulation and the Earth will be purified in the great tribulation.

The great tribulation is a time of purification for the Earth, for Israel and for the foolish virgins; but the wise virgins already have been purified by the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior, and His Holy Spirit has been working in every son and daughter of God. So the Church of Jesus Christ is found justified, as if she had never sinned, and every elect of God as an individual as well.

Now, we can see, look here, on the same page 138 of the book of Quotations, verse 1235, it says:²²

“…the translation of the Bride will be the same thing. The Word that’s in you, the body will materialize around that Word, and the same thing did by Sarah.”

As He did with Sarah and Abraham, that is what He will do with each one of you and with me as well.

To obtain the new and eternal body, we must first have that Word: the Word of God, the Message of God for our time, and the theophanic body of the sixth dimension, so that then it will materialize and we will obtain the eternal and glorified body. And so we will be, being in the new body, we will be made flesh, but not mortal flesh, but immortal, incorruptible and glorified flesh: glorified flesh, glorified body, like the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

We are living in the time when we have to be awake to the reality of what God is doing at this time, according to what He promised for this end time; we are living in the end of the world, according to the calendar of the gentiles. And Christ warned His disciples to always watch for the Coming of the Son of Man; for the Son of Man is coming (with whom?) with His Angels, and then He will repay each one according to his works.²³

And now, what things has Christ promised to carry out in the end time, at the end of the world, and what will be the sign of the end of the world and of His coming? That question was asked to Jesus in Matthew, chapter 24. They ask Him… It says, chapter 24, verse 3:

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (what sign will there be of the Second Coming of Christ, and what sign will there be of the end of the world)?”

And what sign did Jesus give? In the same chapter 24, verse 30 to 31, He said:

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

And here we have that sign in heaven, coming in the clouds of heaven; this cloud, which forms the face of the Lord, was formed by the seven angel messengers of the seven ages and by another Angel who was different from the others, which is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal. And for the Seventh Seal to be manifested on Earth, to be fulfilled, that Angel has to come in human flesh in the Last Day, manifested through His Angel Messenger, just as the seven angel messengers had to come in human flesh in order to have their ministries here on Earth.

And notice, He says, He continues saying:

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

There we have two great signs: the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man and the sign of the end of the world.

And now, notice, in Matthew, chapter 13, verse 30, it says:

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”

This is in the parable of the wheat and the tares. And then, explaining this parable of the wheat and the tares at the request of His disciples, in this same chapter 13, verses 36 and on, He says as follows:

“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom (Who are the children of the Kingdom? They are the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ); but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

The enemy that sowed them (who sowed the tares) is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”

What is the sign of the end of the world? The sign of the end of the world is the Reaping, the Harvest, carried out by the Angels of the Son of Man. With the coming of the Angels of the Son of Man, which is the coming of the ministries of Moses and Elijah in the Last Day with the Great Voice of Trumpet, calling and gathering the elect, gathering the elect, gathering the wheat, we have the sign of the end of the world.

“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

In other words, the tares will be thrown (where?) into the oven of fire, which is the great tribulation. But what will happen to the elect, to the wheat?

“Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”

The righteous are the elect, the wheat, who will shine like the Sun; in other words, they will shine like the Sun of Righteousness,²⁴ they will shine like Christ. Christ comes with His face like the sun, He comes as King, for the sun is the king star; and since the wheat, the elect of God, the children of the Kingdom, are kings and priests: they will shine as kings and priests in the glorious Millennial Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, we can see what is the sign of the end of the world.

We have had throughout the history of the human race, from Christ until now, many ends of centuries. Many ends of centuries have passed: the end of the first century, the end of the second, the end of the third, the end of the fourth, the end of the fifth, the end of the sixth, the end of the seventh, and so on, the human race has lived in the end of each one of those centuries; and now it is living, according to the gentile or gentile’s calendar, it is living in the end of the twentieth century, at a distance of two thousand years from Christ until now. Approximately every two thousand years, a major event occurs on planet Earth, according to God’s Program.

And now, living at the end of the world, the elect must be being called and gathered in this end time through the ministry of the Angels of the Son of Man; and that is why in heaven the sign of the Son of Man appeared, and the angels of the seven ages of the gentile Church were there and another Angel that was different from the others.

After that great sign in heaven, from then on, the ministries of the Angels of the Son of Man for the Last Day have to be on Earth manifested in a progressive way from 1963 onwards; and those are the ministries of Moses and Elijah with the Great Voice of Trumpet calling and gathering the elect of God in the Last Day.

Now, we can see that this date of 1963, February 28, 1963, is very important in the fulfillment of the biblical prophecies relevant to the Last Day.

Speaking about the end of the century and the end of the sixth millennium, if we add to the calendar all the years of delay that it has, by the year 1960 or 1963 we were already at the end of the sixth millennium, and consequently, at the end of the twentieth century. That is taking from the time of Jesus to the present, taking those two thousand years from Christ to the present, at the rate of 360 days; but the calendar has, the calendar used among the gentiles has 365 days and a quarter [365¼], therefore, it has 5 days and a quarter [5¼] more.

That means that in a time span of 2000 years, according to the calendar of the gentiles… If we take it to the prophetic calendar, which consists of 30 days per month and 360 days (according to the prophecy of the prophet Daniel and also Revelation, chapter 11), we will discover that 2000 years lived: according to the gentile calendar are from 2026 to 2036 years of God’s calendar. In other words, according to God’s calendar, we are already in the seventh millennium for a long time.

And that means that we are within the seventh millennium, where the Angels of the Son of Man must be on Earth calling and gathering with the Great Voice of Trumpet, with that Last Trumpet, the elect of God from among the gentiles; to then call the elect of the Hebrew people, which are 144,000 elect, and place them on the summit, on top of Mount Zion, and seal them with the Seal of the living God (according to Revelation, chapter 7, verse 2 onwards, and Revelation, chapter 14). But first all the elect from among the gentiles must be called and gathered, and be placed in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the top of the Mount of God, Mount Zion, that is, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, we are living in the greatest and most glorious time, where we have to be awake to what God is doing in this end time. God is calling and gathering the last elect of His Church, of His Mystical Body of believers; and then He will call and gather the elect of the Hebrew people, which are 144,000 Hebrews.

This is THE TIME TO BE AWAKE TO THE REALITY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING.

And now, many people will ask:

“And where are the Angels of the Son of Man sounding the Great Voice of Trumpet in this end time?” In the Age of the Cornerstone, on the summit of the Mount God, of the Church of Jesus Christ.

“And where are God’s elect, who are being called and gathered?” Well, here we are! We are present in this Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, on the summit of the Mount of God. And there, also the 144,000 Hebrews will be placed in this end time.

For there is no other age but the Age of the Cornerstone, which is an eternal age, where the Millennial Kingdom will be established; for the Millennial Kingdom and the seventh millennium belong to the Age of the Cornerstone. Not the Age of the Cornerstone to the seventh millennium; but the Millennium and the Millennial Kingdom belong to the Age of the Cornerstone; for the Age of the Cornerstone is an eternal age.

That is why the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached in the Age of the Cornerstone for the Dispensation of the Kingdom; and then that Message will go forward, and that messenger will go forward with his Message.

In Revelation, chapter 14, verse 6 and on, it tells us:

“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel (an angel with the Eternal Gospel) to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come:…”

With His Gospel He proclaims, reveals, that the hour of divine judgment has come; in other words, He comes preaching the day of vengeance of our God in His Message, in His Gospel; and He says:

“…and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”

There we can see that what was reflected in the fifth angel messenger of the fifth gentile Church age,²⁵ is then fulfilled in all its fullness in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom Christ will be manifested in Holy Spirit, and through whom comes the Message of the Eternal Gospel for all people, nation and tongue; and teaches us that the hour of His wrath, of His judgment, has come; it teaches us that we have reached the seventh millennium, where the divine judgment has to be poured out upon the human race.

This is a reality that can’t be denied, because it is already prophesied to be fulfilled in the Last Day. But before the reality of the divine judgment upon the human race is fulfilled, all the elect are called and gathered with the Great Voice of Trumpet, and are prepared, and are transformed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, along with the dead in Christ, who will be resurrected in eternal bodies

That is why we are not afraid of the great tribulation and the judgments that are going to be poured out in the great tribulation; of course they don’t scare us, because we are not going to be here!

Now, those who will be here are frightened by this news, they are frightened by the preaching of the day of vengeance of our God; but the elect are not frightened: because we will already have a new body and we will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

To all these prophetic realities corresponding to this end time we have to be awake (how?), on this day in which we are living; and see how these prophecies corresponding to the Last Day are being fulfilled.

And we can only be attentive and understand all these things that will be happening in this end time by listening to what? The Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom making known to us all these things that must come to pass soon, in this Last Day.

This is the TIME TO AWAKEN TO THE REALITY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY, in our day, in the Last Day or seventh millennium, which we have seen has already begun if we add to the calendar the years of delay it has.

And even if we only add 7 years, it has already begun. And if we don’t add any year, then look, on Thursday the year 1998 ends and the year 1999 begins; that is, in a few days 1999 years will be completed (that is, already completed). And then, when we reach the year 2000… that is, we have only one year left.

Remember that when we say that we are in the year 1998, it means that we have already completed that year, and the rest of the years we are living belong to the new year. The years that you live, when you say that you are (let’s’ say) 25 years old, it means that you have already lived 25 years; they are 25 years already fulfilled.

And according to the gentile calendar: From Christ until now, we have how many? 1998 years; and on Thursday we will enter (Thursday for Friday), we will enter the year 1999. In other words, if the years of the centuries and millenniums are fulfilled in the same way that our years are fulfilled since we were born, the Earth then, from Christ until now has, from Friday onwards, from 12 o’clock and one second onwards [12:00:01], it has already 1999 years (from Christ until now). So, according to the gentile calendar, we have very little time left to enter the seventh millennium.

But has God’s calendar fallen behind, or has God changed His calendar? I think not. The forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ himself said that the calendar was behind.²⁶

So we can look from another angle, from another point of view, and see that the calendar is behind, but look and see that everything has worked together for good. People don’t know in what time they are living, nor in what millennium they are living, nor in what century they are living, but the elect do know; for those who understand will understand.²⁷

And for the seventh millennium, and for the XXI, XXII, XXIII and all those centuries to come, Christ through His Angel Messenger will be doing great things, and making known to us all the things that He wants us to know; and He will be fulfilling all that He has promised for the Last Day, in other words, for the seventh millennium.

We saw this morning that the Last Trumpet and Great Voice of Trumpet that calls and gathers the elect from among the gentiles and reveals the mystery of the Seventh Seal: the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, is the same Seventh Trumpet that calls and gathers the Hebrews revealing to them the mystery of the Coming of the Lord; because the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal are (what?) the Coming of the Lord. He comes with His Angels.

And now, notice how that mystery for this end time would be revealed.

And we have been called by the Last Trumpet or Great Voice of Trumpet to be summoned in the Holy Convocation of the Last Day of the Church of Jesus Christ, to obtain the revelation of all these things that must shortly come to pass, and to obtain the revelation of the Seventh Seal: the revelation of the Coming of the Lord with His Angels, to be placed at the summit of the Church of Jesus Christ and to be prepared to be transformed in this end time. We can see the purpose for which all of God’s elect of the Last Day would be called and gathered.

When that number is completed: Christ will come forth from the Throne of Intercession, will reclaim all that He has redeemed with His Blood, and will adopt His Angel Messenger, and will also adopt all the elect living at this time, and also the dead in Christ. And the adoption is the redemption of the body,²⁸ giving us a new body: an eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified body, equal to the body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

And there God will be manifested in all His fullness in His Angel Messenger and in each one of God’s elect of the Last Day, because we will all be in the new and eternal body that He has promised (for whom?) for each one of you and for me too. So this is the time to be awake to the reality of what God is doing today, on this Last Day:

“TIME TO AWAKEN TO THE REALITY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY.”

And now, we can see that the call is to awaken.

And now, where are those who have already awakened to the reality of what God is doing in this day, in this time? Well, here we are: spiritually awake, seeing the prophecies relevant to the Last Day and seeing how God is fulfilling those prophecies; and hearing His Voice, His Great Voice of Trumpet, making known to us all these things that must come to pass soon.

That is why things that had not been known in past ages and dispensations, are now known to us. Why? Because we are awake to the reality of what God is doing today, in this Last Day.

Now, the time: literal year, month, week and day and hour in which Christ will resurrect the dead in Christ and transform us who are alive, we don’t know; but we already know that it is in the seventh millennium, and the seventh millennium has already begun. And it will be for those who are hearing the Voice of Christ, the transformation of their bodies. So the important thing is to be awake listening to the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of the Archangel and Trumpet of God promised for this end time.

Let no one go to sleep spiritually: stay awake spiritually!, listening every day to the Voice of Christ, that Great Voice of Trumpet, with which He is preparing you and He is preparing me.

And around that Word that He speaks to us in His Great Voice of Trumpet Message, comes the preparation for you and for me; and around that Word the transformation of each one of you and mine also will materialize, the adoption of all of us will materialize.

Do you see the importance of being awake? That is why Christ spoke of being awake watching for the Coming of the Son of Man.

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, our Savior, be upon all of you and upon me also; and may soon the number of God’s elect be completed; and may soon we all be transformed and taken to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

One of the ways in which we show that we want to be transformed soon, do you know what it is? By loving Christ with all our soul, obeying His Word and serving Him all the days of our life; and carrying the Message, so that the number of the elect may be completed, because we will not be changed and we will not leave here until the last of the elect comes in; because none of the elect will be lost; and none of the elect of the Church of Jesus Christ, none of them will stay here for the great tribulation: we will all go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Well, we have already seen why we are still here: because He is still calling and gathering His elect in the different countries.

And that is why we have to be traveling through all nations; because just as Christ said to Paul: “I have many people in this city,”²⁹ now God has many people in Latin America and the Caribbean; and there are also some scattered in other nations; but He has many people in Latin America and the Caribbean, many people of and for His Mystical Body of believers; because the Age of the Cornerstone is fulfilled where? Well, in Latin America and the Caribbean: that is where He has a lot of people for His Church, for His Mystical Body; and that is where the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet is one hundred percent effective.

Well, let’s leave everything there. Our subject has been: “TIME TO AWAKEN TO THE REALITY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING.”

And here we are awake; but the rest of the children of God who have not awakened have to be awakened. And for that we put ourselves in the hands of Christ, so that He may use us carrying His Word: the Voice of the Son of God, the Voice of the Son of Man, His Message, to awaken all those who are spiritually asleep and have not noticed the reality of what God is doing in this Last Day.

Well, may God continue to bless you all, may God keep you; and I leave with us again the Reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, to continue and finish our part on this occasion; and then I will be with you also in the next activity that Miguel will have, to also have fellowship in that activity with all who will be present there.

May God bless you, may God keep you; and may you continue having great blessings from Christ this Christmas, and may you have a prosperous year 1999.

May God bless and keep you all.

“TIME TO WAKE UP TO THE REALITY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY.”
