Words of Greeting to the Ministers

Good morning, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior; it is a great blessing and privilege to be with you on this occasion, to greet you and to ask Christ for His blessings upon each one of you.

May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you; may He bless you and prosper you spiritually and materially, you and your congregations; and may He use you greatly in His Work at this end time; and may you be great instruments of God for the Divine Program relevant to our time.

I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to you for standing hand in hand with The Great Tent Cathedral project of Puerto Rico; and for not only praying, but also collaborating in every way, together with your congregations, so that the group of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age, conquers the promises relevant to the Last Day; conquering the promises by faith. And since faith without works is dead¹: it is a faith with works; and thus, it is a work of faith.

For the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, the Work that is promised to be done will be a Work of faith. All the work that will be done will be a work of faith, because it is based – that work is based on God’s promise relevant to the end time; with which He will close the Dispensation of Grace and open the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

Notice, that is the main place where both dispensations will completely overlap, and where there will also be an overlap, there will be a more direct overlap, between those who are going and those who are staying, the elect who are going and the elect who are staying.

And is it strange to you that I say: “The elect who are going and the elect who are staying?” It’s because it’s the elect of the Church: who are going to leave, and the elect of the Hebrew people: who are going to stay, which are 144,000 Hebrews.

See? There’s no contradiction in the Scripture that speaks of the elect: “And He shall send His Angels with a great Sound of a Trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect,”² which are the 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe. And if He is going to call and gather the elect, and they are 12,000 of each tribe, and therefore they are (12 x 12 is how much, Miguel?) 144,000. So, 12,000 of each tribe.

In other words, the lost tribes will be represented in those elect, which are how many from the lost tribes? One hundred twenty… Notice, we go back to the 120 of the Day of Pentecost.³

So… There was a Jewish leader, a rabbi, who began to investigate, and he said that there are 120,000 with us; he’s thinking of the believers, those who follow the Message; but there should be more; yet he is thinking about the 120,000 from the lost tribes.

Something is happening among the Jews and among the rabbis; and as time goes by, well, you will see that, it seems like they are waking up and it seems like their eyes are opening; and well, something is happening.

But remember that everything that is going to happen will be the same as Jacob’s case, which also reflected what will happen with the Hebrew people at this end time: where Esau back then, notice, also represents, has a representation of another people, whom Jacob fears, because they have wanted to destroy Jacob.⁴

And now, we’re not going to explain much about that; but if you search on page 351 and 358, and 359 of the book of The Ages, and of The Seals; and also page 400… If you have it with you, I would only read a little bit to you, (the rest, you can…).

(Hugo always has these books; and especially the one I use, which ends on page 484, the book of The Seals. And the other one, which ends on page 433, The Ages.)

Let’s see which of the two it’s in. It’s in the book of The Seals. The book of The Seals says:

“265 But we find out now, that Israel, in that time of trouble, when he was Jacob (page 359 [“The Sixth Seal,” pp. 412-413 in Eng.]), he wrestled with the…that got a hold of Something that was real. There was a Man come down. Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the—and the—the Fellow said, ‘I must be going now. It’s coming daylight.’ Oh, that breaking-of-the-day! See? It was fixing to come day.”

And what day is that? The seventh millennial day (as a millennium), and the seventh dispensational day (seventh dispensation). Those are the prophetic days that are promised to be seen by the people of God. The Last Day, which is the seventh millennium, notice, has not begun yet for the Jews, according to their calendar.

“266 But Jacob said, ‘I—I’m not going to leave You. You, You can’t go. I’m going to stay right with You.’ See? ‘I want things changed here.’

267 That’s that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money-scheming bunch, and things like that, when they see the true, genuine thing to get a hold of. There stands Moses, and there stands Elijah. Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.

268 That’s just before the Tribulation period.”

That was said there, and it was in the Sixth Seal.

So, there is going to be… we are going to see some of the things that are promised for the Last Day; but we are only going to be seeing the birth pains; but we are not going to see the birth and the difficult part of the great tribulation; only the prelude to that great tribulation.

And in the prelude to the great tribulation, well, that Tent Cathedral will already be standing; and it will be a great help and a great blessing to millions of human beings.

There are a number of things that are connected to the Tent Vision. For example, the faith for the rapture or rapturing faith, to be transformed and raptured; the mystery and opening of the Seventh Seal; the vials and plagues, the preaching, the revelation of the plagues… the Vials, the Plagues, the Trumpets. All of that will be spoken of in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.

Remember that Reverend William Branham always wanted to have the Tent to preach on the Plagues, on the Trumpets, on the Vials.⁵ So, all those things will be addressed in the messages that are going to be preached. The matter of the New Name as well.

And God will be doing many things in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, because by then, that Third Pull will happen by the creative Word being spoken.

And it will be… it will not be a public show, the part of the healings and miracles that will be done in that place. They will only see that people with health problems will come in, and through another door they will see that they will come out well; and they will interview them and they will testify about the… and they will ask them: “What happened there?” — “I don’t know what happened, I couldn’t figure out what happened.”⁶

But they will be able to say one thing: “But I do know that I used to have a limp, or that I was once blind, and now I see.” As the man – the young man said: “One thing I know: that I had that problem before and now I don’t have it.”⁷

Just by passing through there… What is the mystery there? I won’t tell you, later you will… someday you will see it; because he says it is going to be something very private.

And notice what is going to be fulfilled there, what Christ said: “When you pray, go into your secret closet and pray to your heavenly Father, who sees you; and He shall reward you openly. Who sees and hears you, and He will reward you openly.”⁸

Notice, and all of that, see, will then be a place already destined for one person; and that will be his chamber or his office, to… whether it’s to be studying or praying for the sick… That will be that way.

And how will he do it? The sample was given by Reverend William Branham in the five manifestations, where he saw the mighty hand of the Lord.⁹ See? All of that then became – was a reality; and then it is a type and figure of what the Third Pull will be in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.

Because that was a sample of the Third Pull. It was the creative Word being spoken by a man; and what he said, that happened. Not only while the other person was present, but at a distance. And notice all the things that it covered: Five events that are already historic and that are then type and figure of what will happen; that is, they point to things that already happened and things that are going to happen in the future.

That is why he said: “The Third Pull is here.” See? Because it was operating in him in a sample of what the Third Pull would be in all its fullness. That is why he says: “What you have seen partially, will then be manifested, you will see it, in all its fullness.”¹⁰

So, he had that sample, and he liked it. And those who were by his side and saw, which, there were not very many who realized what happened; because… Notice, no one was with him when he spoke the Word for the healing of his wife; he was alone praying to God, and the Angel told him: “Speak what you want, and it will come to pass that way.” That is the Title Deed returning to the human being, shown there; that is also the creative Word being placed in a man, and that man speaking that Word.

And we can look for countless more things in the Bible, to show what that Word operating in a man will be. Mark, chapter 11 (is that it?), verse 21 to 23, around there.

“If you say to this mountain…” That is, not if you pray to God for Him to do it; rather: “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”¹¹

That was the passage that Reverend William Branham couldn’t understand; and he never wanted to preach about that passage, because he didn’t understand it, how a man could be the one who would say it and things would happen.¹² And then he was shown in the creation of squirrels, where the Angel tells him: “Speak the Word, speak; and the squirrel will appear wherever you say.” See? That is already a matter of the Word already incarnate in a man, of the Word already put in the mouth of a man; and whatever that man says, that is what will happen.

All this is connected to the Tent Vision and its fulfillment; but it is not going to be a public show (the Angel tells him).

And that is so that there are no imitations; because there are many people in the religious world, in Christianity, in Judaism and in all other religions, who will always try to do some miracles; and if they see how things happen, they will try to imitate; or if they know beforehand, they will try to get ahead. And when the real thing comes along, then people will say, “That is the same thing that So-and-so or So-and-so is doing.”

But Reverend William Branham says: “There’ll be no imitation of this, because the devil doesn’t know it.”¹³

Therefore, we hope to be working in favor of the project that will lead us to the culmination of God’s Program on this Earth; and it will help us, all those who will be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to have the faith for the rapture.

In other words, everything that God is going to do, to fulfill, is connected to the Third Pull, and therefore, to the Tent Vision. Everything is connected to that project.

It is not only a project of some pillars and beams with a canvas; no. It is not only a physical project, but a Divine Project, which has to do with perfect faith, the faith to be transformed and raptured, the faith of a new dispensation, the Coming of the Lord as Lion; the full project of the Gospel of the Kingdom along with all the things that are included therein: the New Name of the Lord, of the City of our God, and Name of God, being placed upon a man; because Christ says: “I will write it upon the Overcomer.”¹⁴ And if He says it, He will do it.

But what will that be like? So, let’s wait, because when we are in the total fulfillment of the Tent Vision, then we will see more clearly.

The only thing we can understand is that this man is going to be in there; because when Reverend William Branham had the Tent Vision, afterwards the Angel says to him: “Do you remember the Name that you were looking for when you had the vision?”¹⁵ In other words, there is a Name there that is very important in the Divine Program. And the Angel also says many things to Reverend William Branham, related to the Tent Vision. The Angel knew.

Therefore, notice, the Angel was there and saw; the Angel was the one who took brother Branham; therefore, the Angel knows, that Angel knows everything related to the Tent Vision, and He was the one that gave him the Tent Vision; therefore, He will be there. He will also have to do with the whole project of the Tent Vision. That Angel is included there, in that Tent Vision.

Now, the project of the Tent Vision is for our age. Simply by elimination, we know it’s for our time; because it was neither for the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, [sixth], nor seventh age; not even for that breach between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone, where Reverend William Branham was also there. Because he was in the seventh age, and then he was in that breach between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone. In that gap, he tried to make the Tent Vision a reality, but he wasn’t allowed then either; because it is for the Age of the Cornerstone.

Perhaps many people, who know the Message of Reverend William Branham, but who have not read that in the messages of Reverend William Branham there is the promise of a Cornerstone Age, may say: “That’s something that Miguel and William made up.” But when we take them to the Scripture and to the messages of Reverend William Branham, then they can understand that it was a Divine promise given by God through Reverend William Branham; and it aligns with the whole Scripture.

If there is a Cornerstone, which is Christ, there must be a Cornerstone Age. And there was one two thousand years ago: the Age of the Cornerstone of the First Coming of Christ; and there must be one at this end time: the Age of the Cornerstone of the Second Coming of Christ.

And if there was a forerunner for the First Coming, there had to come a forerunner for the Second Coming; and everyone knows who the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ was. And therefore, there must be a people who receive the whole project relevant to what was forerun.

In all the things that were said to happen in the Coming of the Lord, Reverend William Branham was the forerunner. He foreran them, he spoke of them: he spoke of Moses – of the ministry of Moses, he spoke of the ministry of Elijah —he is forerunning!— he spoke of a great Tent.

And are there any ministries that used a tent? Of course, Moses! A tabernacle. And even all the people used tents. In other words, it was an age —the age of Moses, the time of Moses (as a dispensational messenger)— it was a time of tents: a tent for God and a tent for each family.

All of that is also a type and figure of the Millennial Kingdom for the seventh millennium, which is the time when the Feast of the Tabernacles, in other words, the Feast of the Tents, will be fulfilled. And nothing resists a time of great earthquakes better than a tent, because it is flexible.

So, everything will work together for good; and God is the One who is directing all things.

I appreciate and thank you very much for everything you are doing. And I ask Christ to bless you and your congregations, and may He greatly multiply all the spiritual and material blessings upon you, and use you greatly in this end time.

And may the effort and great miracle that is required, the super miracle, be performed by God at this time; and may He use all of us and any other person that He chooses to use, even if they are not one of us.

May God bless you and keep you, and may He always use you greatly in His Work; and you too, Miguel, whom we all know is at the forefront of this work and project of The Great Tent Cathedral, working with all the countries, all the congregations, and all the ministers, and with Puerto Rico, to…

And I am also standing hand in hand with Miguel and with Puerto Rico and with all of you, supporting this great project of The Great Tent Cathedral, which we want to become a reality for all the people soon.

May God bless you and keep you. And I leave Missionary Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you again.
