Good evening, fellow ministers in the mystical Body of Christ in the stage of the Cornerstone Age. It is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God His Program pertaining to this end time.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s read in Second Timothy chapter 4, verses 4 to 8, where it says\u2026 Let\u2019s start a bit before that: verse 1 and on, so we can have the whole picture; it says:<\/p>\n
\u201cI charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;<\/em><\/p>\n Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.<\/em><\/p>\n For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;<\/em><\/p>\n And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.<\/em><\/p>\n But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.<\/em><\/p>\n For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.<\/em><\/p>\n I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:<\/em><\/p>\n Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.<\/p>\n This Letter by Saint Paul was written before Saint Paul suffered martyrdom in Rome.<\/p>\n (Is Miguel around here?)<\/p>\n Now, Saint Paul teaches us to fight the good fight. He fought the good fight and so he teaches us to fight the good fight.<\/p>\n And now, how are we going to fight the good fight? We have to see how the good fight is fought as individual believers in Christ, and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a mystical Body of believers.<\/p>\n Since it is a fight against the devil, it is fought the same way it was fought in Heaven by Christ against the devil.<\/p>\n And now, the battle is in the mind.<\/p>\n Now, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a mystical Body of believers, we find there is the battle of Christ through His Church against the devil, during the time of the apostles and during the time of the seven angel-messengers. All of that pertains to the time of the Holy Place of the mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, of that spiritual Temple.<\/p>\n And the Mind of Christ working in the apostles and the angel-messengers, in that part of the Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, won the battle in every moment.<\/p>\n But where is the last battle won? In the Age of the Cornerstone. And with that battle, the devil and his army are eliminated, and the Millennial Kingdom of Christ is established.<\/p>\n Now, since the human being has a body, spirit, and soul, we find that the different stages or ages of the Church are represented in the body itself: From the neck, including from the neck down, that pertains to the seven ages and to the gap between the seven ages, which is the age or stage where the Spirit of Christ – Christ, was put out of the Laodicean Age.<\/p>\n How was He put out? Well, He was manifested in His angel-messenger; and when they close the door on the angel, they have closed the door on Christ, who was in His angel, in His angel of the seventh age.<\/p>\n And then, we find a stage where the Holy Spirit moved in the seventh angel-messenger, outside of the denominational systems. And during that time was when the Seals were opened; it was made known, in advance, what God will do later on when Christ finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven and rises up from the Father\u2019s Throne, takes the Title Deed, opens It in Heaven, and makes His Claiming Work.<\/p>\n In other words, the reality: of Christ rising up from the Father\u2019s Throne, taking the Title Deed, which is the Book of the Seven Seals, and opening It in Heaven, that hasn\u2019t been fulfilled yet; but God is reflecting in Rev. William Branham what He will do later on.<\/p>\n That is why he had to speak about the seven ages and everything that happened in the seven ages. He had spoken in An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages<\/em> when he preached that series, and later in The Revelation Of The Seven Seals<\/em> he also expanded on everything that happened back then: on how the Spirit of God moved and how the spirit of the wicked one moved in those different stages.<\/p>\n Now, the Title Deed is still in the hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne. That is why Rev. William Branham said: \u201cThis is the way it will be when the last elect comes in and when Christ rises up from the Father\u2019s Throne; but yet that lies in the future.\u201d1<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n So, notice, although the Seals were opened, they are not open; the way it will be when Christ rises up from the Father\u2019s Throne and opens the Title Deed in Heaven, and brings It to Earth and gives It to a Man; and thus, He will give the Title Deed to a Man (the Title Deed, Brother Branham says it is the Title Deed of what? Of the Heavens and the Earth), so that he eats It. And that is how the Title Deed is restored to the human race by the Second Adam, who is Jesus Christ, giving It to a Man who will be living on Earth.<\/p>\n Now, Christ knows all those whose names are written there; and that is why from age to age He has been calling and gathering them in His mystical Body of believers, and He has been carrying out the spiritual Work, from age to age. But we still need the physical part, which is our transformation, which is the adoption of all the sons and daughters of God.<\/p>\n Now, if we say that the Seals are not open yet, anyone who doesn\u2019t understand this could even get upset with us and say: \u201cThey were already opened.\u201d But we find that Rev. William Branham himself was the one who said they were not open; and when he spoke about the Seventh Seal, he said: \u201cIt isn\u2019t open. That will happen later on.\u201d<\/p>\n So, everything was a reflection: Christ reflecting Himself in Rev. William Branham, and showing in that reflection what He will do later on.<\/p>\n Therefore, we have to understand these things, because otherwise people would be totally confused.<\/p>\n Notice, on page 106 of this Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals<\/em>, he says:<\/p>\n \u201c[291] All the\u2014the souls under the altar, when the Angels, when the elders, when the everything seen it, when this is done. It, yet, lays in the future. Tonight He\u2019s a Mediator, but He is coming to this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, let\u2019s go to another place, another place where he speaks about this [The Seals<\/em>, page 111]:<\/p>\n \u201c[323] I\u2014I, as Your servant, offer this prayer to the great Intercessor, Christ. As they pray, I offer my prayer with them, upon the ivory Throne of God, where the Bloody Sacrifice is setting there tonight. And most any time might step from the Throne, to come forth to claim His possession, then there is no more mercy left; it\u2019s judgment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n There we have a passage where he says that everything still lies in the future, that He is still on the Throne of Intercession.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see if we can find one more passage, to have three witnesses, three witnesses here. There is one passage, I\u2019m not sure if Miguel has it\u2026 On page 109, he says:<\/p>\n \u201c311 Come, while the Mediator, as far as I know, is still on the Throne, making intercessions. Because, there will come a day when you\u2019ll want to come, and there will be no Mediator.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n And when does Christ take the Title Deed? When He leaves the Throne of Intercession.<\/p>\n Then, on page 110, he says:<\/p>\n \u201c[319] \u2026 that it will now be turned loose!<\/em><\/p>\n 320 And that the Lamb, that Bloody, holy Kinsman that come walking forth from the Throne, down through the mystic Lights of the corridors of God\u2019s Throne, walked out to claim His inheritance!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Here we\u2019ve seen, in these passages we have mentioned, that everything lies in the future.<\/p>\n Now, notice how He, God, Christ reflected what He will do at the Last Day, He reflected it in Rev. William Branham; he says [The Seals<\/em>, pages 107-108]:<\/p>\n \u201c299 Talk about a jubilee, talk about a time, when that Lamb walked forth! See, the Book is even sealed in Heaven, the mysteries are. <\/em><\/p>\n 300 Say, \u2018Is my name there?\u2019 I don\u2019t know. I hope it is. But, if it is, it was put on the Book before the foundation of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n 301 But the first thing, that represented that redemption, come the Lamb that had been slain from the foundation of the world. And He took the Book, (glory!) opened the Book, and tore off the Seals; and sent It down to the earth, to His seventh angel, to reveal It to His people! There you are. Oh, my! What happened? The screams, the shouts, the hallelujahs, the anointed, the power, the glory, the manifestation!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, since the seventh angel-messenger of the seventh age is the instrument where God is reflecting everything He will do when Christ finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, and opens the\u2026 takes the Title Deed and opens It in Heaven, and brings It to Earth and gives It to a Man; since the seventh angel-messenger of the seventh age is the instrument where God is reflecting all of that, well, he has to do what He will do later on.<\/p>\n That is why, notice, even though he was opening the Seals, in reality, the Seals, the Book of the Seven Seals, is still closed in Heaven, in the right hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne. That is why he couldn\u2019t say\u2026 for example, the mystery of the Sixth Seal, which is Moses and Elijah, he couldn\u2019t say the name they would have; and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n And now, we can see that there is a great mystery there.<\/p>\n And when He takes the Title Deed, notice, He will bring It open to Earth and He will give It to a Man; and then, in that Man, that Word fully becomes flesh, and he will receive the restoration to physical Eternal Life, which is the transformation of his body.<\/p>\n Because with the Title Deed returning to Earth, the human being is restored to physical Eternal Life; and that is why, just like It was given to a man: Adam, but since he failed and did what God told him not to do, the Title Deed was taken from Adam\u2019s hand and It went back to the right hand of God. It is the Book of the right hand of God, of God\u2019s power, so that the works of creation of God\u2019s power may be carried out.<\/p>\n And where are the elect of God? In the right hand of God, they are the children of the right hand of God. That is why during the Millennial Kingdom, it\u2019s by the children of God, through the children of God, that God will work; through Jesus Christ and His Church, who are the firstborn of God.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s through them that He has been working from age to age: through Christ and His Church, from age to age, in the spiritual realm; and that is also how it will be in the physical realm, when we are restored to physical Eternal Life and we are in the glorious Millennial Kingdom with Christ.<\/p>\n Now, I told you that it\u2019s one thing to fight, to be fighting the good fight, for the Church as a mystical Body of Christ, and it\u2019s another thing for each person as individuals; but all of this runs parallel. This fight is carried out the same way, but from different aspects or angles, which the Church goes into, from stage to stage, and the children of God who are in the Church go into, from stage to stage.<\/p>\n Now, we are speaking to you about the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in: \u201cFIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n Being that just as God is a soul, spirit, and body, the human being is also a soul (which is what he truly is), spirit (which is a body of another dimension), and physical body (of this dimension).<\/p>\n Now, we find that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a mystical Body of believers, has the Old Testament saints, who were living in the type and figure; they were believers in Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, who hadn\u2019t been made flesh yet to carry out His Work of Intercession.<\/p>\n But since the sacrifices offered to God by the people of the Old Testament who were believers in God had been a type and figure of Christ: they, those people, were believers in Christ in types and figures; therefore, they were believers in the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant.<\/p>\n That part pertains to the Body; in other words, just like our body, there we have the Body, the part that pertains to the Outer Court.<\/p>\n The individual\u2019s outer court is the physical body, the individual\u2019s holy place is the spirit that is inside the person (which is a spiritual body of another dimension), and the person\u2019s most holy place is the person\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n Now, notice, that is also how it is in the Church: the Outer Court is the people of the Old Testament who were believers in God, and who offered the sacrifices ordained by God, which were a type and figure of Jesus Christ our Savior.<\/p>\n When Christ resurrected, the Old Testament saints resurrected with Christ2<\/sup><\/a><\/sup>: the place of the Outer Court of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ resurrected, which pertained to the Old Testament, under the Law, under those ordinances and laws given by God to the Hebrew people; they were given by Christ, the Angel of the Covenant.<\/p>\n And now, the human body has a head, and in the head it has the brain.<\/p>\n Then, the human being has a spirit, and his emotions are in the spirit, they are a manifestation there in the spirit. With the spirit the person has affection, which is brotherly love, and other affections toward people or other things.<\/p>\n He has five senses, there in the spirit, just he has five senses in the physical body; which are five entrances or doors into the physical body, and five in the spirit. And those entrances go directly to the soul, but one communicates with the other and the other with the person\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n And in the person\u2019s soul, there is only one sense, which is free moral agency, to believe or not believe.<\/p>\n Now, we find that in the seven stages of the Church\u2026<\/p>\n Notice, we have\u2026 for example, we have the fact that in the spirit, just like in the body there is a brain, in the spirit we have a mind (the mind that pertains to the spiritual body); and in the soul we also have a mind.<\/p>\n Scientists call the spirit \u201cthe conscious\u201d and the soul \u201cthe subconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n Therefore, in the conscious, well, you are conscious of the things that you think about; but in the soul are the things that are not conscious to you, but that gradually become conscious as they pass from the soul to the spirit.<\/p>\n For example, the case of Jesus Christ, when on one occasion the disciples tell Christ that they know that He knows all things; yet on one occasion Christ said, speaking about the Coming of the Son of man, about the Second Coming of Christ, He said that no man knew when the day and the hour would be: \u201cNot even the angels;\u201d and He even says, furthermore: \u201cNot even the Son.\u201d3<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Why? Because God, the Father, had not made that mystery conscious to Jesus; but He would speak about the Coming of the Son of man and the signs that would be manifested, but the day and hour were not made known to Him while He was here on Earth in flesh.<\/p>\n But then, once He was glorified, He rose glorified and ascended to Heaven, then He did know all things; because from Him (from God) to Jesus, those things were then opened. They passed from the soul (which is God) to the Spirit (which is the Angel of the Lord), and therefore, they also passed on to the glorified body of Christ.<\/p>\n Well, our Brother Branham speaks to us about this on page 14, around there, of the Book An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages<\/em>, when he tells us\u2026 Page 14 of the Book of The Ages<\/em>, says: \u201cNow I\u2026\u201d<\/em> A bit before that, it says:<\/p>\n \u201c… and though it might be taught to you with eloquence, until God reveals to you that Jesus is the Christ, and that it is the blood that cleanses you, and that God is your Saviour, you will never have eternal life. It is the Spiritual revelation that does it. <\/em><\/p>\n Now I said that this Book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus and what He is doing in the churches for those seven ages. It is a revelation because the disciples, themselves, didn\u2019t know these recorded truths. It had not been previously revealed to them. You remember that they came to Jesus in the Book of Acts and asked Him, \u2018Are You at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?\u2019 And He said, \u2018It is not for you to know the times or the seasons.\u2019 Those men were still thinking of Jesus having an earthly kingdom. But it was a spiritual kingdom that He was going to build.\u201d<\/em> (See? To build a spiritual Kingdom. To build is to construct; to create a spiritual Kingdom.) \u201cEven He could not tell them about His place in it, for the Father had not revealed it unto Him. But now after His death and resurrection, and at this particular time in His mediatorial ministry, He is able to set forth here in this revelation of Himself to John what His glory and presence in the church would mean and do.<\/em><\/p>\n In this revelation He tells us what the end of the devil is. He tells how He is going to deal with the devil and cast him into the lake of fire. He reveals the end of the wicked ones who follow Satan. And Satan hates that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Now, notice how Christ had not received the revelation of the day and of the hour of the Coming of the Son of man at the Last Day, nor had He received the revelation of the things that He would do in His Church throughout the different ages. It was something that was in the Mind of God; but it had not passed from the Mind of God to the Mind of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant.<\/p>\n And now, there are many things that were revealed in the seven Church ages; but there are others that did not pass to the seven ages of the Church, that did not pass to the Church, because they are things that pertain to the Age of the Cornerstone, and they can only be revealed in the Age of the Cornerstone.<\/p>\n What pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone cannot be revealed outside that age. The things that must come to pass after the seven ages cannot be revealed outside the Age of the Cornerstone.<\/p>\n That is why the Seventh Seal can\u2019t be revealed in any of the seven ages, but in the Age of the Cornerstone. And where do the Thunders utter their Voices? In the Age of the Cornerstone.<\/p>\n Now, the One who came down from Heaven in Revelation 10, came with the little Book open in His hand, and set His right foot upon the sea and His left foot on the earth.<\/p>\n Miguel, in what place, which territory was the\u2026? The territory, the territory where He set His left foot belonged to which place? It\u2019s on the Isle of Patmos, that is where\u2026 and that was where the Angel gave the revelation to John the Apostle.<\/p>\n Now, notice how waters or the sea represent what? Nations, peoples, and tongues. And those are the feet of brass (right, Miguel?), the feet of brass are the ones He set there; and brass is the Divine Judgment, and the prophets are the Divine Judgment.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s leave that alone there.<\/p>\n Brother Branham says that is the sevenfold glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n And now, when He shows there what that mystery of the Son of man with the garment from head to foot, with the golden girdle around His chest, he says that He is no longer High Priest nor Lamb; because as High Priest He has to have the girdle where? On His waist. As Judge, He has it on His chest.<\/p>\n And notice, and kings, where do they put the girdle on kings as well? On the chest; for rulers, presidents, and so on.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see, page 48 of the Book of The Ages<\/em>, says:<\/p>\n \u201cBUT THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING. Yes, it is. It is just that at this time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, John was taken up by the Spirit and transported by the Spirit to that Great Day that is coming. The Lord\u2019s Day is when the days of man are over. The kingdoms of this world will then become the kingdoms of our God. The day of the Lord is when the judgments fall, and after that comes the millennium. Right now the world does what it wants to do with the Christian. They call him all manner of evil names, making fun of him,\u201d <\/em>(or them). \u201cBut there is coming that great and notable day when they will wail and howl, for the Lamb is coming in wrath to judge the world. That is when the righteous will have their day with the Lord, for the wicked shall burn and the righteous will walk over their ashes into the millennium.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now\u2026<\/p>\n \u201c(…) Revelation 1:10, \u2018And heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.\u2019 John was in the Spirit, and when he was, he saw the great and wonderful day of the Lord Jesus and all His holy power. The future was about to unfold for God was about to teach him. John did not say it was a trumpet. It was like a trumpet. Now when a trumpet is blown it has an urgency about it. It is like the herald, the king\u2019s messenger, coming to the people. He blows on a trumpet. It is an urgent call. The people gather to listen. (Israel was always assembled by the sounding of a trumpet.) Something important is at hand. \u2018Listen to it.\u2019 So this voice had the same urgency of appeal as did the trumpet. Clear and strong it was, startling and awakening. Oh, that we might hear the voice of God as a trumpet this day, for it is the \u2018Gospel Trumpet\u2019 sounding forth the \u2018Word of Prophecy\u2019 to make us aware of, and prepared for, what is coming upon the earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, let\u2019s turn to page 57\u2026 Let\u2019s see if Miguel can find for me where Brother Branham explains the part about the girdle. Let\u2019s see, to avoid reading too much\u2026 There is a passage around here at the beginning, Miguel\u2026 We were on 48, but it seems like we are going to have to\u2026 we are going to have to go a bit further back. Let\u2019s look at 45 while Miguel finds the other one. It says [The Ages<\/em>]:<\/p>\n \u201cActually what had happened was that John was caught up in the Spirit and transported into the Lord\u2019s Day, which is yet to come. The Bible speaks of the Day of the Lord which is to be in the future, and John is now seeing the things of that future day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n [Brother Miguel: On page 53, it said there\u2026 There he is speaking about\u2026 on the Lord\u2019s Day, how John sees Him standing no longer as Priest, but as Judge; the golden girdle is no longer girt around the waist.<\/em>]<\/p>\n There\u2026 oh, well let\u2019s read it there. On 53, let\u2019s see [The Ages<\/em>]:<\/p>\n \u201cThere He stands, One like unto the Son of Man. As the jewel is beautified by the mounting of the ring, so He is glorified in the midst of the churches. It is the Lord\u2019s Day; for John sees Him standing, not as a priest, but as the coming Judge. The golden girdle is no longer girt around the waist where the priest must wear it as he ministers to God in the Holiest Place, but it is now around His shoulders, for He is not now the priest but the JUDGE. Now has John 5:22 come to pass, \u2018For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.\u2019 His service has been rendered. The priesthood is over. The days of the prophecy are finished. He stands girded as the JUDGE.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, let\u2019s continue here, further down:<\/p>\n \u201cHow deeply moving and inspiring was the appearing of Jesus to John, who was in exile for the cause of the Word, and behold, the Living WORD now stands before him. What an illuminating vision, for every descriptive attribute has a significance. What a revelation of His glorious Being. <\/em><\/p>\n 1. His Hair as White as Snow <\/em><\/p>\n John first notices and mentions the whiteness of His hair. It was white, and as bright as snow. This was not because of His age. Oh, no. The brilliantly white hair does not signify age but experience, maturity, and wisdom. The Eternal One does not age. What is time to God? Time means little to God, but wisdom means much. It is as when Solomon called to God for wisdom to judge<\/em> the people of Israel. Now He is coming, the Judge of all the earth. He will be crowned with wisdom. That is what the white and glistening hair signifies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Then on page 211 and 330 [in Spanish] he also speaks to us about the white wig (here) of the Lord, the white hair. There at the end, on this same page, page 54, he says:<\/p>\n \u201cThere it is. Daniel saw Him with that white hair. He was the Judge opening the books and judging out of them. Daniel saw Him coming in clouds. That is exactly what John saw. They both saw Him exactly the same. They saw the Judge with His judgment girdle over His shoulders, standing pure and holy, full of wisdom, fully qualified to judge the world in righteousness. Hallelujah. <\/em><\/p>\n Even the world understands this symbology, for in ancient times the judge would appear and convene court, dressed in a white wig and a long robe that signified his complete authority (head to foot robe) to mete out justice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Now, we can see all of this that is mentioned there. And that is fulfilled when Christ finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven and takes the Title Deed, opens It, and Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, who is the Angel of the Lord, returns to Earth.<\/p>\n Now, Christ brings that Title Deed to His Church, that is why He gives It to a Man; and that Man will be the last prophet that Christ has in His Church, and he must be a dispensational prophet.<\/p>\n Notice, that Book can\u2019t be given to a prophet of an age, but to a dispensational one. Do you want to see how simple it is?<\/p>\n Whom did God give It to? To Adam.<\/p>\n What was Adam? A dispensational prophet.<\/p>\n Then, when God takes It and keeps It in Heaven, when He gives It to a person again, whom does He give It to? To Jesus, a dispensational prophet.<\/p>\n And at this end time the prophets of ages have ended. And after the seven messengers of the seven ages, what kind of prophet is promised in Revelation chapter 11, and Revelation chapter 7? A dispensational prophet. See?<\/p>\n The Second Adam: Christ, takes It in Heaven and brings It to Earth, to a dispensational prophet, who will be His Angel-Messenger, the Faithful and Wise Servant, whom He will make ruler over all His goods; like God did with Adam, but Adam failed and the Book was taken from him, the right to have and to bring God\u2019s sons and daughters as his descendants was taken from him.<\/p>\n But the Second Adam obtains the right, and is bringing God\u2019s sons and daughters by Divine Creation: first in the sixth dimension by giving them a heavenly body, and then He will give us the physical and glorified body. He knows all the names that are in that Title Deed.<\/p>\n And then, once the Title Deed is given to the Angel-Messenger who will be on Earth at the Last Day, he will be the other one who will know all the names that are there. And when the rewards are being given out, notice, Brother Branham saw that it was an Angel, the Angel who was beside Christ, that read in the Book and could see whether or not the name was written there.4<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Why? Because the Book, the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, which is the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life, then passes from Christ to the Angel: the Angel eats It; and then the Angel will be\u2014there in that judgment or in that giving of rewards\u2014the secretary of Christ. Christ can tell him: \u201cMy secretary, tell Me which names are there.\u201d<\/p>\n [Matthew 24:47] \u201c… He shall make him ruler over all his goods.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n To make him ruler over all His goods, He has to give him what? The Title Deed. That is why it says:<\/p>\n \u201cAnd he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:<\/em><\/p>\n And he shall rule them,\u201d<\/em> (what does it mean to rule? To govern), \u201cwith a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n To receive that power and authority from the Father, He had to overcome.<\/p>\n Revelation also says\u2026 That was chapter 2, verses 26 to 27. And it also says that He will give him the Morning Star, which is Christ in His Second Coming. And chapter 3, verse 21, of Revelation also says:<\/p>\n \u201cTo him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Therefore, that Overcomer will have to do with the earthly Kingdom of Christ, he will have to do with Gentiles and Hebrews; he could also be called: \u201cthe Viceroy.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, throughout the Scripture, for the Church, we have different battles against the devil, the enemy of God; but Christ has been with His Church.<\/p>\n And in each age, the Church of Jesus Christ, while the angel-messenger of Its age has been present, has obtained the victory; because each angel-messenger is the instrument of Jesus Christ, and Christ in Holy Spirit has been in that angel-messenger. And the Church has been going from glory to glory, and It has also been going from battle to battle.<\/p>\n Remember that a war is not won in the first battle; there is a last battle.<\/p>\n Now, we find that for the Church the battle in each age has been in the mind of the Holy Place; that is why the Mind of Christ was working in those ages, and passing His revelation from the Mind of Christ to the mind of His messengers; and they were the mind of the Holy Place in the Church of Jesus Christ, the revelation of God came through them.<\/p>\n So, the mystical Body as a Church, as a Body of believers, notice, has an Outer Court, a Holy Place, and a Most Holy Place.<\/p>\n And now, we find that the Church has reached the Age of the Cornerstone, which is also the Age of the Head (as it is called by Rev. William Branham); and the Head is Christ; therefore, it is the age where Christ will manifest Himself in all His fullness. And the Mind of Christ will be in the Most Holy Place of the Church of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n The Most Holy Place of the Church of Jesus Christ, therefore, is the soul of the Church, the heart of the Church; just like the most holy place of the tabernacle that Moses built and of the temple that King Solomon built is the heart of the temple of Solomon and of the tabernacle of Moses.<\/p>\n Just like the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple is the heart of the heavenly Temple; because God dwells where? In the heart, the soul, see? That is why that is the place of God\u2019s Throne.<\/p>\n And now, Rev. William Branham tells us in different messages that\u2026 Let\u2019s see; page 134 of the Book of Quotations<\/em> says, paragraph 1197 [64-0816 – \u201cProving His Word,\u201d pages 38-39]<\/p>\n 1197 – \u201c210 He proves all of His Words, all of His Words. Just think of it, all of His Words! And you were His Word. He was the Word, and you were part of His Word. And, that\u2019s the reason you\u2019re sent here, to confirm your place in life. I\u2014I\u2014I don\u2019t think you got that. See, He is the Word. Now you get it?<\/em><\/p>\n 211 He was in the feet, in Luther; in the thighs, in Wesley; in the shoulders, in Pentecost. See what I mean? He is the Head. You have a part that joins that together, this hour that we\u2019re living now; not the feet part, not the thigh part, not the shoulder part, but the neck part.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n That was where Brother Branham positioned himself with his group. And he put the head for later on.<\/p>\n Now, on page 162, let\u2019s see what it tells us\u2026 and 160; 160, paragraph 1420, says [65-0822M – \u201cChrist Is Revealed In His Own Word,\u201d pages 17-18]:<\/p>\n 1420 – \u201c[76] You mustn\u2019t misinterpret the Bible. <\/em><\/p>\n For, Jesus Himself is the interpretation of the Bible, when He\u2019s made manifest in the age that the part of His Body is being made manifest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n When Christ manifests Himself in each age that begins, there the manifestation of Christ for that age is the interpretation of the Word promised for that age, and it always comes in the messenger of the age.<\/p>\n 1420 – \u201c[76] If it\u2019s a hand age, it must be a hand\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In other words, then it must bring forth hand cells, not foot cells; it must bring forth children pertaining to the hand. Therefore, the Message must have a life that reproduces, creates, hand cells, sons and daughters of God for that age. It can\u2019t bring forth sons and daughters of God for a past age: the feet age, but the hand age.<\/p>\n 1420 – \u201c[76] If it\u2019s a hand age, it must be a hand; it can\u2019t be a head age. If it\u2019s a voice age, well, then, it can\u2019t be a foot age. See? And now we\u2019re at the eye age. And now the next, is Him Hisself, to come. Seeing; prophetic! <\/em><\/p>\n 77 See, down through the age, we started off from the foundation, from the first church age; when the Seed went in the ground, the complete Seed. Then it come out through the feet, Luther; come back out then through Wesley; then in to Pentecostals, the tongues, in the lips, see; now it\u2019s in the eyes, prophetic, of Malachi 4, and so forth. And now there\u2019s nothing else left for it to come but Him Himself to step into that, \u2019cause that\u2019s the last thing there is. <\/em><\/p>\n The next is the intelligence, and we have no intelligence of our own; it\u2019s His.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, there is another passage, let\u2019s see if we can find it\u2026 This is the one I was searching for, and it looks like I still don\u2019t\u2026 I don\u2019t have it yet, I don\u2019t have it on hand yet. Let\u2019s see\u2026 But let\u2019s see using what we have. Let\u2019s go to page 127, paragraph 1129, it says [64-0705 – \u201cThe Masterpiece,\u201d page 13]:<\/p>\n 1129 – \u201c67 Finally, as He started way back in the days of Moses and come down through the prophets, to each one. And, finally, building up the body, coming closer all the time. And the greatest of all of them was John. The Bible said so. Jesus said it. \u2018There is not a man, ever born of a woman, as great as John the Baptist,\u2019 for he was the one that could introduce the Word.<\/em><\/p>\n 68 And then come, finally, the great Head, the Head of all of it. The rest of the body just spoke of It. The foundation was laid by the patriarch; but the body was built by the Word, which was the prophets; and here comes the Head of all of it, Jesus came on the scene. There, when this Head piece was put upon it, we find in Him the entire handiwork of God. We find in Him the perfect reflection of the Word, for He was the Word, the fullness of the Word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Then, in [paragraph] 1134, it says [64-0705 – \u201cThe Masterpiece,\u201d page 20]:<\/p>\n 1134 – \u201c108 Now, for nearly two thousand years, God has been again making Him a Masterpiece. Because, He struck Adam to get a ma-\u2026a piece off of him, part of him, a rib to make a wife for him. And now that perfect Masterpiece that He struck at Calvary, He got a piece off of Him. It\u2019s just the New Testament, that\u2019s all. He fulfilled the Old Testament. Now it\u2019s the New Testament, another piece to be fulfilled. See, the New and Old is husband and wife. See? And it taken the New to fore-\u2026The Old to foreshow the New; Christ come, the Masterpiece, to fulfill that. Now His Bride will fulfill everything that\u2019s in the New Testament. Another Masterpiece is in making.<\/em><\/p>\n 109 As it taken Him four thousand years to make this Masterpiece; now He\u2019s been, for nearly two thousand years making another Masterpiece, a Bride for Christ.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n A Work for Christ is what is being made by God.<\/p>\n (I took a moment of your time here to\u2026) 1193, let\u2019s see [Quotations<\/em>, page 134] [64-0802 – \u201cThe Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride,\u201d pages 60-61]:<\/p>\n 1193 – \u201c501 Yes, become a part of the Word, a part of the Word of today. Can\u2019t be a part of the Word of Moses\u2019 day; that part is done made up, that was the feet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Now, notice how he puts the time of the feet as the time of Moses. In what we had first read, he puts the time of the feet as the time of whom? Of Luther.<\/p>\n 1193 – \u201c[501] We\u2019re at the Head now. This is Christ. Not the arms time, back in Luther,\u201d <\/em>(now he puts the arms time in Luther; and that pertained to Wesley in the other passage, right?) \u201cno. This is the Head time. Christ, the Headstone, comes to the Body. (…) <\/em><\/p>\n [506] And we see the great reformation of Luther, in that age; and of Wesley; and the Pentecostal. Now we\u2019re looking for the Headstone of the City,\u201d <\/em>(meaning, the Head).<\/p>\n And where were they? In the neck, the closest thing to the Head.<\/p>\n And now, do you want to see what I was writing here? I read to you what Miguel gave me here:<\/p>\n 1193 – \u201c501 Yes, become a part of the Word, a part of the Word of today. Can\u2019t be a part of the Word of Moses\u2019 day\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n See? A part of the Word of today.<\/p>\n How does one become a part of the Word for the day in which one is given to live? By receiving the Word, the Message, for that day. It becomes flesh in the person, and now It is the Word for that age in the form of a believer, because the Message of that age is there, and therefore, one is a part of the Word of the age in which one is living.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s see what I was writing down, which I didn\u2019t want to read to you. Let\u2019s see: page 127, verse 1135, says [64-0705 – \u201cThe Masterpiece,\u201d page 29-30]:<\/p>\n 1135 – \u201c170 The Word has become flesh, exactly like He promised in Luke 17, Malachi 4, and all, see, that\u2019s right, Revelation.<\/em><\/p>\n 171 All true Life that was in the stalk, tassel, and husk, is now gathering in the Seed, ready for the resurrection, ready for the harvest. The Alpha has become Omega. Amen. The first come last, and the last is the first. The Seed, that went in, has come through a process and become the Seed again. (…)<\/em><\/p>\n [172] The Alpha and Omega is the same. (…) He said, \u2018I am Alpha and Omega,\u2019 He never said anything in between. Uh-huh. \u2018I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last.\u2019 Yes, sir.<\/em><\/p>\n 173 The first ministry and the last ministry is the same. The first Message and the (second),\u201d <\/em>(Message) \u201clast Message is the same thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, when referring to a dispensational Message (see?): the first dispensational Message, beginning in the time of Christ and the apostles, is the Message of the Gospel of Grace; and the Message for the Last Day is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.<\/p>\n Christ: Alpha and Omega, bringing the Message that will complete the Work in which all the elect will obtain the faith, the revelation of the Second Coming of Christ, the revelation of the Seventh Seal, to be prepared to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.<\/p>\n And now, the first Message revolves around the First Coming of Christ, the second Message revolves around the Second Coming of Christ.<\/p>\n All of that was also reflected in Rev. William Branham; because in each angel-messenger, Christ reflected Himself and reflected His Second Coming; just like in the prophet-messengers of the Old Testament, Christ reflected His First Coming and His Second Coming as well.<\/p>\n That is why, to them, the First and Second Coming were not understood as two occasions in which the Coming of the Lord would be fulfilled: one as Lamb, and the other as Judge and as King and as Lion; the first as Lamb and as High Priest; and the second as Lion, and as King of kings and Lord of lords, and Judge of all the Earth.<\/p>\n Now notice, I told you how\u2026 what I had, what I was writing down; because I wasn\u2019t sure if I had that passage marked there; it is \u00abhow to become the Word\u00bb.<\/p>\n It also tells us something there on 108; let\u2019s see if it is something related here\u2026 paragraph 938, says [63-0728 – \u201cChrist Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,\u201d page 50]:<\/p>\n 938 – \u201c[377] He is expressing Himself. That\u2019s His purpose. That\u2019s why He died. That\u2019s the second fold of His threefold manifestation. First, to express Hisself in Christ, then express Hisself through the Church. And the same thing, Christ was the Word, and the Church becomes the Word when it lets the Word go through them. (…)<\/em><\/p>\n 380 And in there, there would be a time come forth when He could express Himself in fullness of His Godhead, Deity, through His Church, have the preeminences in this Church. Oh, my! What? The anointed Man; now the anointed people; oh, my, to bring back the anointed Bride and the Bridegroom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n There is another very important passage where it tells about this mystery. Let\u2019s see if it is page 163\u2026 paragraph 1453, says [65-1125 – \u201cThe Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ,\u201d page 35]:<\/p>\n 1453 – \u201c268 Oh, that spiritual union of Christ and His Church now, when the flesh is becoming Word, and the Word is becoming flesh, manifested, vindicated.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n In other words, when the Word of God promised for an age is fulfilled by Christ to His Church: that promised Word, the Word of the promise for that age, is being vindicated; and when the people receive It: It becomes flesh in the people and the people become the Word made flesh for that age. And that is how the Word is made flesh in each age.<\/p>\n It becomes flesh in the Church: first in the messenger; and then in the Church, when the messenger gives that Message to the Church.<\/p>\n 1453 – \u201c[268] \u2026 manifested, vindicated. Just what the Bible said would happen in this day, it\u2019s happening, day by day. Why, it\u2019s cumulating so fast out there, in those deserts, and things taking place, that I couldn\u2019t even keep up with it. We\u2019re near the Coming of Jesus, to be united with His Church, where the Word becomes the Word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Now, we can see that in order for the Church to become the Word, She must receive the Word that is vindicated, promised for that time, being fulfilled and being revealed to the people.<\/p>\n When the Church in each age receives It (through the messenger of Her age): It becomes flesh; the promised Word of that age becomes flesh in the group of elect of that age, in the Church as a mystical Body of believers; that Word becomes flesh, because It is there; and It becomes flesh in each believer as an individual.<\/p>\n And now, we find that during the seven ages, all of this, in the Church as a mystical Body of believers, has been taking place in the Holy Place, which is the part that pertains to the spirit.<\/p>\n The person\u2019s spirit is the holy place of the person as a spiritual temple of God.<\/p>\n And the holy place of the tabernacle that Moses built and the holy place of the tabernacle that Solomon built, is the place where the candlestick with the lamps was. And that is why in the seven ages there is the candlestick with its lamps, the seven lamps: the seven ages, with the burning wick, which is the messenger of each age, through whom Christ reflected Himself and gave Light.<\/p>\n See? That is why we find Christ in Holy Spirit reflecting Himself in the seventh angel-messenger and giving Light for that stage that he lived in: the seventh age of the Church, and then in that stage close to the Age of the Most Holy Place.<\/p>\n And now, we find that for the Church as a mystical Body of believers, the Age of the Cornerstone is the Most Holy Place; therefore, it is the place where the things that were kept hidden from the people of the seven Church ages are found.<\/p>\n The things that must come to pass after the seven ages were where? In the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, of the Church of Jesus Christ; in that age is where Christ makes them known.<\/p>\n Now, we find that for past ages those things weren\u2019t open, they couldn\u2019t be understood. Just like in people\u2019s subconscious there are things that the person hasn\u2019t understood yet, they are in the subconscious; but if they pass to the conscious, then they are understood.<\/p>\n For example, the whole mystery of each one of you as children of God, that was in the subconscious, but Christ made it conscious: He passed it from the subconscious to the conscious when you received Him as your Savior; and there were still things left that were not made conscious to you, like you being a part of the group of elect of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone; but all of that was sealed inside you, in your soul, which comes from God, from the seventh dimension.<\/p>\n Now, we can see that the same thing it is for the Church, and it was for Christ, is what it is for the person as an individual; that is why now the things that were in the Church\u2019s subconscious\u2026 because that age hadn\u2019t arrived yet: the age of the intelligence, of the Mind of Christ in His Church, the Age of the Mind, of the subconscious, to make everything conscious to His Church.<\/p>\n Now, notice, the Seventh Seal is the mystery of which Christ mentioned that not even the Angels, nor anyone, nor the Son (Jesus Christ) knew when the day and the hour would be, the day and the hour of the Second Coming of Christ, the day and the hour of the Seventh Seal.<\/p>\n Now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ didn\u2019t know that mystery either, because all of that was in the subconscious. But now Christ knows it, why? Because after He died, resurrected, and ascended to Heaven glorified, all power in Heaven and on Earth was given to Him,5<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> and all revelation of every mystery; because the way between the Holy Place and the Most Holy place was left completely opened; therefore, the way was left completely opened between the heavenly body of Christ and God, who is the soul and the subconscious, in whom were all these Divine programs of redemption contained in the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life.<\/p>\n And you were there and I was there too; and we were appointed for this time, that is why we are in this time. In other words, it\u2019s not a mere coincidence that we are here at this time. And all the services we would be at were already determined.<\/p>\n So, we are not a coincidence here on Earth: we are the fulfillment of God\u2019s Program, of what God thought for you and for me; that is why it is so important for us to stay (where?) in our place: in the mystical Body of Christ.<\/p>\n Those who didn\u2019t stay in their place in the time of Moses, what happened to them? They journeyed through the wilderness for forty years and perished. But Joshua and Caleb remained steadfast, and they were the ones who said: \u201cWe can do it! We can inherit the land and conquer that land.\u201d6<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> Why? Because God was with them.<\/p>\n Now, we find that Moses, because of certain things the people did, that caused Moses to be disappointed in the people and smite the rock twice.7<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n That second rock represents the Second Coming of Christ. And since it was in God\u2019s Program that the Second Coming of Christ should not be smitten, that there should not be a second crucifixion\u2026<\/p>\n Moses, by smiting the first rock,8<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> represented there, reflected what the First Coming of Christ would be; and It would be smitten to give the Water of Eternal Life, to give the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n Because when Christ spoke of the Water that He would give\u2026, which He spoke about to the Samaritan woman;9<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> and then He spoke in the Feast of the Tabernacles, on the last day of the feast, when He said: \u201cIf any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink.\u201d \u201cAnd this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet (what?) glorified.\u201d10<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Now notice, the Holy Spirit is that Water of Life, because the Holy Spirit is the Life of the Blood.<\/p>\n [John 1:4] \u201cIn him was life; and the life was the light of men.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n See? In the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, is Life.<\/p>\n And now, in the First Coming of Christ, Christ had to be crucified. In His First Coming, He came as the Lamb of God and He came as the first Rock, for that first Rock to be smitten on Calvary\u2019s Cross, and to be able to give the Water of the Holy Spirit, to give Eternal Life to the people who would believe in Him.<\/p>\n John the Baptist, speaking of the One who would come after him, said: \u201cHe is the One who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire,\u201d11<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> and He pointed to Jesus. Therefore, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire is only for the believers in Jesus Christ; not for John\u2019s believers if they stayed with John and didn\u2019t follow Jesus.<\/p>\n And now, the second rock represents the Second Coming of Christ. And Christ doesn\u2019t have to be crucified in His Second Coming to give us the Water of the new, eternal, immortal, and glorified body; He doesn\u2019t have to be crucified to give us the glorified body, like He had to be crucified to give us the theophanic body of the sixth dimension.<\/p>\n Now, Moses, angry, full of wrath against the people, because they were a stiffnecked people and he had already gotten tired of them, he smote the rock; he called the people a \u201crebellious people,\u201d or something like that; he smote the rock\u2026<\/p>\n That is in chapter 20 of the Book of Numbers, if you want to have it there exactly as it all happened. Notice, the people had gathered against Moses, and Moses had gone with Aaron to the temple. It says [verse 6]:<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the <\/em>Lord<\/em> appeared unto them.<\/em><\/p>\n And the <\/em>Lord<\/em> spake unto Moses, saying,<\/em><\/p>\n Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and <\/em>speak ye unto the rock before their eyes,\u201d <\/em>(notice, he had to speak to the rock),<\/p>\n \u201cand it shall give forth his water,<\/em> and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.<\/em><\/p>\n And Moses took the rod from before the <\/em>Lord<\/em>, as he commanded him.<\/em><\/p>\n And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them<\/em>, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?<\/em><\/p>\n And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.<\/em><\/p>\n And the <\/em>Lord<\/em> spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.<\/em><\/p>\n This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the <\/em>Lord<\/em>, and he was sanctified in them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Why is God now angry with Moses, if Moses made water come out of the second rock? Because Moses did it the way God didn\u2019t tell him to. God said to him: \u201cSpeak unto the rock, and it shall give forth its water;\u201d it was by the creative Word being spoken.<\/p>\n Just as it happened with the little fish that was caught by a friend of Brother Branham, and it was small; and when they pulled out the hook all its insides came out, and they threw it out on the water; he said to it\u2026 he told the little fish something like: \u201cYou shot your last wad,\u201d something like how we would say: \u201cYour day has come,\u201d and they threw it out on the water.<\/p>\n But God had said to Brother Branham: \u201cToday you shall see the glory of God manifested.\u201d And Brother Branham had said that to the people who were with him: \u201cGod told me that today we will see the glory of God manifested;\u201d and well, everyone was expecting something great to happen.<\/p>\n And about half an hour after Brother Branham\u2019s friend threw the little fish into the water, and said those words\u2026; which were not the best words to say to a little fish, which is part of God\u2019s Creation, and especially not that one\u2026 Why that one? Because that one is a type of the believers in Christ that have departed, and primarily the ones of this time.<\/p>\n And they continued fishing\u2026 And remember that we are fishing: \u201cFollow Me, and I will make you fishers of men,\u201d12<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> said Jesus Christ our Savior.<\/p>\n So, since the death of that little fish, the fishing had not stopped, it continued; therefore, that means continuing to evangelize and to catch people, people for Christ, until the squeeze comes and the Third Pull comes.<\/p>\n In the Third Pull is when the glory of God will be manifested, and the resurrection will come, just like the resurrection of the little fish came; it was about a half hour later. There you have the half hour of silence; silence\u2026 fishing, but in silence.<\/p>\n When that time passed, Brother Branham sees the little fish floating around, and the Spirit tells him – the Holy Spirit tells him to give the little fish its life back: \u201cSpeak to it.\u201d And Brother Branham stood up and said to the little fish: \u201cLittle fishy, I give you your life,\u201d and the little fish resurrected, and it went on swimming.13<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n But is it a type and figure of the believers who have departed, who will be resurrected at the Last Day? Page 166, paragraph 1476, of the Book of Quotations, <\/em>says [65-1127E – \u201cI Have Heard But Now I See,\u201d page 4]:<\/p>\n 1476 – \u201c[26] That\u2014that gives us to know, if He\u2019s interested to speak the Word of life into a little insignificant fish laying there dead, on the water for a half hour, He can certainly someday speak Life into His children. No matter if your body be no more than a spoonful of dust, He\u2019ll speak, and we\u2019ll answer Him someday.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Notice how God\u2019s glory was manifested, because It is being reflected in such a simple type and figure\u2026 that is making a symbol of what the resurrection of the dead in Christ will be, by the creative Word of whom? Of God. And I can\u2019t explain the details about that too much, because I would be uncovering for you the mystery of that glorious moment.<\/p>\n Now, Moses broke the type and figure when he smote the rock twice; that is why God became angry with Moses: he broke the type and figure of the Second Coming of Christ, and he put there the type and figure that the Second Coming of Christ will be smitten.<\/p>\n Christ, the Rock, will be smitten in His Second Coming; but there can\u2019t come a second crucifixion.<\/p>\n Therefore, in the Message \u201cI indict this generation\u201d or \u201cThe Indictment,\u201d there Rev. William Branham speaks to us about a second spiritual crucifixion, where they will speak against the Second Coming of Christ;14<\/sup><\/a><\/sup> because Moses set the type and figure back then by smiting the rock twice. He smote the second rock twice, and that is why God became angry with Moses.<\/p>\n Now, let’s see something very important.<\/p>\n (Since this book is compiled in a certain way where each\u2026 there are a few books here, and each book starts from [page] 1 to the last number; and so that\u2019s why\u2026 sometimes I\u2019m looking for number 8, and I have to look for it in all of them to see which one of them it is, because I didn’t mark the paragraph number; some don\u2019t have paragraphs.) But if you want to know what our Brother Branham said about Moses smiting the rock\u2026 Let\u2019s see at the end, he says\u2026 (this isn\u2019t it yet). He says the following15<\/sup><\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n \u201c56 On up they come, into the smitten Rock. Notice when they come to the Rock, they had need. Now, Moses smote the Rock with the rod. That\u2019s where we left last night. Smote the Rock with the rod, and the rod was God\u2019s judgment rod. And he smote the Rock, and there was a cleft in the left side of the Rock,\u201d <\/em>(well, typifying the wound in Christ). \u201cWhen the children of Israel got hungry, they went there. And a beehive, a bee had got in there and had made a hive, and they got honey out of the Rock. Everything they had need of was in the Rock. The Rock followed the church, and the Rock was Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, let\u2019s search, let\u2019s keep searching for 8\u2026 number 8 here, where it says \u201cIsrael And The Church #5,\u201d paragraph 4916<\/sup><\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n \u201c49 Moses was a type of the church organization…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Notice how far Moses got because he acted that way. This is in Israel: Children in the Wilderness<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201c49 Moses was a type of the church organization, which, he was the law. And Moses glorified himself before the people, instead of glorifying God. And God turned from him. <\/em><\/p>\n
