Good evening, fellow ministers present, and those who are connected through the internet in different nations; 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 and His Program relevant to this end time.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s read in Second Kings, chapter 2, verses 1 to 15, the passage where the prophet Elijah was caught up to Heaven in a chariot of fire. It says:<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.<\/em><\/p>\n And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.<\/em><\/p>\n And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.<\/em><\/p>\n And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.<\/em><\/p>\n And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.<\/em><\/p>\n And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.<\/em><\/p>\n And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.<\/em><\/p>\n And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.<\/em><\/p>\n And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.<\/em><\/p>\n And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.<\/em><\/p>\n And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.<\/em><\/p>\n And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.<\/em><\/p>\n He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;<\/em><\/p>\n And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.<\/em><\/p>\n And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.<\/p>\n Our subject is: \u201cWHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH?\u201d <\/strong>Because that is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that is the God who has been worshiped since Adam by all those who have served God. That is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that is the God of the Jews and that is the God of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; who was made flesh according to Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14 and Saint John chapter 1, verse 14. In Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14, it says:<\/p>\n \u201c… and shall call his name Immanuel,\u201d<\/em> (which being interpreted is: God with us).[1]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n And in Saint John, it says:<\/p>\n \u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.<\/em><\/p>\n The same was in the beginning with God.\u201d <\/em>(Chapter 1, verse 1, of Saint John.)<\/p>\n And chapter 1, verse 14, says [John]:<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the Word was made flesh<\/em> (in other words, It became flesh), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father)…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And therefore, the Word \u2014which was with God\u2014 was made flesh, and therefore, It was made man in this earthly dimension of human beings. And that is how:<\/p>\n \u201c… the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And then verse 18, says:<\/p>\n \u201cNo man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n And may God bless our souls with His Word, open the Scriptures to us, and allow us to see and understand; and to see and understand where the God of Elijah is.<\/p>\n The God of Elijah is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, who and from whom came the Word, the Word came forth from Him; and the Word is none other than the heavenly body of God, which is \u2014therefore\u2014 Christ in His heavenly body; also called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament.<\/p>\n And through that heavenly body, the Word, which is also called the Son of God, we find that God has been manifested. And through Him, He carried out all things in the Old Testament; it was through the Word that God created all things.<\/p>\n The Voice of God, the Word of God for each age and for each dispensation, is heard and received by a prophet, by a messenger.<\/p>\n \u201cSurely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.\u201d <\/em>That is Amos, chapter 3, verse 7.<\/p>\n And Deuteronomy, chapter 29, verse 29, let\u2019s see what it tells us there, to then continue:<\/p>\n \u201cThe secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, these things that have been revealed, how were they revealed? To God – to a prophet, and then: from a prophet to the people. The Law and the statutes that God gave to the Hebrew people were given to Moses, and Moses revealed them, gave them to the Hebrew people.<\/p>\n Where does God put His Word?<\/p>\n [Deuteronomy 18:18] \u201c… and will put my words in his mouth <\/em>(in the mouth of a prophet is where the Word of God is); \u201cand he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Message, the Word of God for each age or dispensation is put in the mouth of a prophet; meaning, it comes out of the mouth of a prophet, a prophet anointed by the Holy Spirit, speaking that Word which is placed in his heart and in his mouth to be spoken to the people.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it shall come to pass, that whosoever\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n It says:<\/p>\n \u201c… and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.<\/em><\/p>\n And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He will have to deal with God afterwards, give an account to God; for God will judge him because he didn\u2019t want to listen to the Voice of God the way that God was speaking.<\/p>\n That is why Saint Paul says, in Hebrews chapter 3, verse 7 and chapter 4, verse 7: \u201cToday if you hear his voice, harden not your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n And now, we have seen that in the same way as God spoke to His people in the Old Testament, now in the New Testament we find God speaking by His Holy Spirit through His different messengers relevant to each stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n He spoke through Saint Peter and the other apostles of that time; He spoke through Saint Paul as the Messenger of the first Church age; and through each messenger relevant to each age.<\/p>\n And that is the God of Elijah in His trajectory; who, in the midst of the human race, has a trajectory from Genesis to Revelation; He has a trajectory from the first prophet that was placed on Earth in human flesh, which was (who?) Adam, to the last prophet-messenger that He will have on Earth at the Last Day, which will be the promised Elijah in his fifth manifestation, through whom the God of Elijah will be manifested at the Last Day.<\/p>\n And now, where was the God of Elijah found? In the time of Adam: Manifested in Adam; then in Abel, then in Seth; and so on, down that line of men of God sent from stage to stage.<\/p>\n He was manifested in Enoch, He was manifested in Methuselah, He was manifested in Lamech, He was manifested in Noah, and we also saw Him manifested in Shem, we also saw Him manifested in Abraham, we also saw Him manifested in Moses, we saw Him manifested in Joshua, we saw Him manifested in the judges\u2026<\/p>\n We find one of the judges, who was gathering wheat to hide it; that was\u2026 [Bro. Miguel: Gideon<\/em>] Gideon; and God spoke to him, the God of Elijah. That is in Judges\u2026 [Bro. Miguel: Judges 13<\/em>] Judges 13 is about Samson. Let\u2019s look it up here so that we have a clear picture of\u2026 [Bro. Miguel: Judges 6<\/em>] Judges 6, from verse 11 and on, says:<\/p>\n \u201cAnd there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.<\/em><\/p>\n And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.<\/em><\/p>\n And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.<\/em><\/p>\n And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?<\/em><\/p>\n And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father\u2019s house.<\/em><\/p>\n And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.<\/em><\/p>\n And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.<\/em><\/p>\n Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.<\/em><\/p>\n And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.<\/em><\/p>\n And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.<\/em><\/p>\n Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.<\/em><\/p>\n And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.<\/em><\/p>\n And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, notice Gideon is seeing a Man but in a heavenly body. Just like Moses. Just like Jacob: he met a Man and wrestled with Him; and it was the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of God. That is why Jacob said: \u201cI saw God face to face, and my life was preserved; and he called the name of the place Peniel<\/em>, which means \u201cFace of God.\u201d[2]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n And now, given that this man of God, Gideon, also saw\u2026 face to face, because he says here – he says so here:<\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>(And he) said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Then we find that Jesus Christ Himself on another occasion, there in Saint John chapter 8, verse 56, says\u2026 56 to 58:<\/p>\n \u201cYour father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.<\/em><\/p>\n Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?<\/em><\/p>\n Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n How was Jesus Christ before Abraham? He was the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant.<\/p>\n And now, we find that the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, in whom God was, is, and will be eternally \u2014because that is the heavenly body of God\u2014 was made flesh and dwelt in the midst of the human race.<\/p>\n And who was in that Man called Jesus? The God of Elijah, who is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Adam, God the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth; and God was there (in Jesus) in soul, spirit, and body. And there we have the trinity of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and that is God in soul, spirit, and body.<\/p>\n God, the Eternal One, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth: the soul. In Spirit: the heavenly body of God, the Angel of the Lord, the Christ, Christ in His heavenly body, which is the image of God. And in flesh: the physical body of Jesus (see?), in a physical body. And that is God in soul, spirit, and body; there we have the trinity of God.<\/p>\n That is why the human being, who was created in the image and likeness of God, is soul, spirit, and body too.<\/p>\n If God created the human being in His image, then, if the human being is soul, spirit, and body, then God must also be soul, spirit, and body. We must find God and know God in soul, spirit, and body, to thus know our heavenly Father.<\/p>\n Just like, physically, we have a father; and when you are looking for your father\u2026 or when you were a little boy and they would tell you: \u201cYour father is on his way,\u201d what are you expecting to see – or what were you expecting to see? You were not expecting to see a little horse, or an ox, or an animal, you were expecting to see a person who looked like you, a person with a soul, spirit, and body.<\/p>\n And when they have left their body, and if we see them before the resurrection, well, then we expect to see our relatives in soul and spirit: soul and a heavenly body. See how simple everything is?<\/p>\n Therefore, the God of Abraham is none other than the Father, but He has a heavenly body called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord.<\/p>\n And that is why when He appeared to different men of God in a physical form, we find that He appeared in the form of a pillar of fire, of a light; and God was in that light. And if He let Himself be seen, the next step was seeing a Man called the Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord, in whom God was.<\/p>\n Therefore, when this Angel appeared, the prophets themselves and different men of God (like the judges), said that they had seen God; they recognized that it was God who was there, although they were seeing a Man, an Angel, but they were seeing the heavenly body of God, through whom God was speaking; in other words, they were seeing God in a heavenly form.<\/p>\n And when people received a prophet, and that prophet spoke the Word of God, people were seeing God in a borrowed, temporary body, because they were seeing the veil of flesh in which God was temporarily; but they recognized that that veil of flesh was not God, but rather, the One who was inside that veil of flesh, who was in soul and spirit.<\/p>\n In other words, in soul and heavenly body, He had gone inside a man, inside a prophet, and He spoke through that prophet; that prophet spoke anointed by the Holy Spirit. That is why they could say: \u201cThus saith the Lord.\u201d It was the Lord, not the Word of a man.<\/p>\n And when the Word was made flesh, people who saw Jesus were seeing Emmanuel which being interpreted is: God with us. God in soul, spirit and body; God the Father, in His heavenly body \u2014called the Angel of the Covenant\u2014 inside a body of flesh.<\/p>\n And that body which died and was resurrected: was glorified, and He is in Heaven sitting at the right hand of God; and He turned God\u2019s Throne into a Throne of Intercession, into a Mercy Seat; and He is interceding, as High Priest, with His own Blood, in Heaven, in God\u2019s Temple, in the Most Holy Place.<\/p>\n And one day He will finish His Work of Intercession, His Work as High Priest; and then He will be the Judge and King of all the Earth; He will take the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, He will open It in Heaven and carry out His Claiming Work. That is for this end time, when the very last elect of God comes in.<\/p>\n Perhaps some people throughout the history of Christianity, throughout the last two thousand years, have said that Christianity, the apostles, and all the other messengers, preachers, have been announcing the Second Coming of Christ and it has not been fulfilled; and some think that it will never be fulfilled.<\/p>\n Why wasn\u2019t the Second Coming of Christ fulfilled a thousand years ago or a thousand five hundred years ago or in the 20th century? Because He can\u2019t leave the Throne of Intercession until He completes His Church, until He has called the very last elect of God, until He has redeemed him; in other words, until He has redeemed the very last person written in Heaven in the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life. That is why the Second Coming of Christ has not been fulfilled during those two thousand years.<\/p>\n It has been God\u2019s patience with the elect; not with the world, but with the elect. Just like in Noah\u2019s time, after God told Noah that He was going to destroy the human race, about 100 or 120 years passed, and the Scripture says that period of time was none other than the time of God\u2019s longsuffering.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s see here\u2026 because it\u2019s the same thing; in other words, the same reason why God had patience back then, is the same reason why God would have patience. It says: First Peter, chapter 3, verse 18 and on, it says\u2026 18 to 22:<\/p>\n \u201cFor Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:<\/em><\/p>\n By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In other words, Christ went to hell in His heavenly body and preached to the spirits in prison, meaning, to the people who lived in Noah\u2019s time and were disobedient at that time, who died by the flood, and went to hell in soul and in spirit.<\/p>\n And, given that He went to preach to the spirits in prison who were there in hell, those people were in spiritual bodies, bodies of the fifth dimension. And Jesus Christ went in a heavenly body; in other words, He went as the Angel of the Covenant who had appeared to the prophets; now He appears there in hell to those people who were over there.<\/p>\n \u201cWhich sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, it says: \u201cwhich sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah.\u201d<\/p>\n Notice, if in the first ten years after God told Noah that He was going to destroy the human race, He had sent the flood: not even Noah would have been saved.<\/p>\n Why? Because a person may know how to swim, but to swim forty days without resting (!), and then another number of days while the flood passed, that was not possible.<\/p>\n Therefore, He commanded him to build an ark so that he and his family could enter into the ark, as well as a number of animals that were going to start a new stage of life, with which a new civilization would begin.<\/p>\n And now, it was because of Noah that the longsuffering of God waited; and that was a long time.<\/p>\n But now, in the New Testament, two thousand years have already passed since the death of Christ, and Christ is still waiting in Heaven as High Priest: waiting for His Church to be completed, waiting for all those who will be saved to enter into the Ark of Salvation (which is Christ); just as the ark had to be built and all those who would be saved from the judgment of the flood had to go into the ark.<\/p>\n And now, in the construction of the Church of Jesus Christ, God has been waiting for His Church to be completed; it has been God\u2019s patience because of God\u2019s elect.<\/p>\n And now we are waiting for the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work; we are waiting for Him to complete His Church and rise up from the Throne and take the Title Deed, and bring It to Earth and give It to a man to eat; so that he, that person, is adopted, is transformed, and so that all the elect of this time are transformed too, and restored to physical Eternal Life.<\/p>\n Without the Title Deed: physically there will be no restoration to Eternal Life, of any person.<\/p>\n Therefore, every last elect of God must come in; and for that to happen, the God of Elijah is the One who has been carrying out the Work of calling and gathering all the elect of God written in Heaven, in the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life. And He has been doing this through Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, through His Holy Spirit; who was in the prophets, He was in Moses, He was in Elijah, He was in Elisha, He was in John the Baptist, and then He was in Jesus made flesh, and then He was in Saint Peter; He came on the day of Pentecost, He came down on the day of Pentecost, and sealed 120; and then He continued to do that Work.<\/p>\n It is the Work of God through His Holy Spirit, through the Angel of the Covenant, through the heavenly body of Jesus Christ; through the Holy Spirit in the midst of the Church.<\/p>\n And that is the God of Elijah in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, in Saint Peter and the rest of the apostles (except Judas Iscariot), in Saint Paul, and in each angel-messenger of each age.<\/p>\n We have located the God of Elijah in all those men of God.<\/p>\n And when He was in Reverend William Branham, He was clearly identified by some people; not by all of Christianity, but He was identified by many people.<\/p>\n And after the departure of the veil of flesh in which He was, where did the God of Elijah go? Where did the Holy Spirit whirl away to? That is the mystery that every person must discover, by obtaining the Divine revelation of where the God of Elijah is at this end time.<\/p>\n And wherever the God of Elijah is: He will be operating the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, and He will be doing the Work promised for this end time.<\/p>\n And everything that God promised to do at this end time, such as the Third Pull for the Bride (the Bride-Church of Jesus Christ), for the foolish virgins, for the world, and for the Hebrew people, the God of Elijah will be doing all of that through His Holy Spirit in the place \u2014in the veil of flesh\u2014 in which He manifests Himself at this end time; and He will fulfill all that has been promised.<\/p>\n Therefore, we will be seeing the Third Pull in Its different phases. Some will see It when It is already in Its total fulfillment, where there will be a giant Tent, and there will be preaching and altar calls, and there will be great wonders, great miracles.<\/p>\n Reverend William Branham says that the great miracles will be for that stage, and that what was seen partially\u2026 That\u2019s on page 119 of the book of Quotations<\/em>, but we are not going to read there; we are going to read page 136. Let\u2019s see under which ministry the great miracles will take place. Page 136, paragraph 1208,[3]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> says\u2026 he is asked:<\/p>\n 1208 – \u201c[186] [Question 253] Will the Bride\u2014will the Bride before Jesus comes, will She have all power of Holy Ghost to perform miracles, raise dead, and so on as in the latter rain\u2014or is this the latter rain for the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews? Will all ministers have this, are we, or, are we just waiting for the coming?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The answer:<\/p>\n \u201cNow, latter rain, a hundred and f<\/em>orty-four thousand Jews, no, that isn\u2019t\u2026that\u2026they won\u2019t\u2026that\u2019s\u2014that\u2019s when Elijah and Moses\u2026There\u2019s where the miracles take place.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Where are we going to see the miracles? He says that\u2019s when Elijah and Moses; that will be with Elijah and Moses. It says:<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026There\u2019s where the miracles take place. The things that the people\u2019s been looking for, the Pentecostals, for miracles, that\u2019s where that\u2019ll take place in that, under them. See, that\u2019s Elijah\u2019s and Moses\u2019. (…)<\/em><\/p>\n 198 We\u2019re just to wait on the Coming of the Lord.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And let\u2019s see here on page 138, paragraph 1236 [Quotations<\/em>][4]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a>:<\/p>\n 1236 – \u201c[261] And then shall he send his angels, and\u2026gather together his elect from the four winds, and shall\u2026and the utmost parts of the earth to be\u2026and to the utmost parts of heaven. (\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n 262 That\u2019s talking of the resurrection, the translation, going up. He\u2019ll send forth His angels to gather. Did you ever think what the angels are? Huh? Messengers. He\u2019ll 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\u2019s been spoken; here It\u2019s manifested.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And it also says on page 141, paragraph 1260;[5]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> it says\u2026 let\u2019s read a portion here [Quotations<\/em>]:<\/p>\n 1260 – \u201c[19] He said, \u2018He sends His angels to separate them.\u2019 An angel is coming to bring the separation, the segregation between the right and the wrong. And no one can do that but the Angel of the Lord. He\u2019s the One that is going to tell which is right and which is wrong. God said He will send His angels at the last times. Not angels down through <\/em>here (meaning, not angels in the Church ages, in the seven ages), but angels at the last time, and would gather together. We know that this is the coming harvest time now. Now, an <\/em>angel is actually interpreted a \u2018messenger.\u2019 And we see that there is seven angels of the seven churches, and now\u2026no, through the church ages.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n See? \u201cNot angels down through here;\u201d not angels of the seven ages.<\/p>\n There is another place, it says [Quotations<\/em>, p. 146][6]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a>:<\/p>\n 1303 – \u201c[94] 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\u2019s right. That\u2019s the way He did it at the beginning.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, look here:<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026in the great Millennium when the resurrection comes\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And the Millennium, that is the Seventh millennium since Adam; and that is the Last Day. The resurrection is set to take place at the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium since Adam, or third millennium since Christ; that is the Last Day before God; and to human beings: the Last millennium.<\/p>\n And now, notice, the resurrection of the Old Testament saints, who resurrected with Christ, they rose in the last days.[7]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n Why? Because they were living in the fifth millennium which is the first of the three last millennia, which before God is the first of the three last days.<\/p>\n That is why Saint Peter and Saint Paul speak to us about the last days; and Peter says: \u201cFor one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.\u201d Second Peter chapter 3, verse 8; and Psalm 90, verse 4.<\/p>\n And also in the reading we had in Hebrews chapter 1, verses 1 to 3, it says: \u201cGod, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, and by whom He also made all things (or created all things)…\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see how it says this here, so that you have it\u2026 [Bro. Miguel: \u201cHe made the worlds\u201d] <\/em>\u201cHe made the worlds:\u201d \u201c…by whom also he made the worlds.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cGod, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,<\/em><\/p>\n Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;<\/em><\/p>\n Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person<\/em> (see? The express image of God; who is the image of God? Christ), and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, we have seen here the way in which God created the entire universe: through Christ, who is the image of the living God.<\/p>\n In Colossians it also tells us\u2026 chapter 1, verse 14; says:<\/p>\n \u201cIn whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:<\/em><\/p>\n Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Who is the image of the invisible God? Jesus Christ, He is the image of the invisible God in His heavenly body and He is the physical likeness of the invisible God in His body of flesh, a body that is already glorified.<\/p>\n And the physical likeness of all the children of God will also be glorified: we are going to have a glorified body. The new body is the glorified body.<\/p>\n In spiritual terms, the spiritual body is already the glorified spirit because it is an eternal spirit, for all eternity, for each one of God\u2019s sons and daughters.<\/p>\n And now, we have seen that the Almighty God said: \u201cBehold, I make all things new<\/em>.\u201d[8]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> And He is making all things new for His children, who are souls of God: He gives them a new heavenly body and He gives them a new physical body; in the resurrection: for the dead in Christ; and the transformation: for those who will be alive in those days.<\/p>\n And now, WHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH?<\/strong><\/p>\n He is still in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, manifesting Himself and working. Because where is He and what is He doing? For God cannot stand by doing nothing.<\/p>\n He is working in that work in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of Adoption, preparing all those who are going to be adopted, transformed, those who are going to receive the redemption of the body, which is the transformation of our bodies.<\/p>\n He is calling and gathering the very last of the elect; and when the very last elect comes in: the time of redemption has ended, the time of intercession has ended, time has ended; and therefore, the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive will come.<\/p>\n Some of us say – or some people say: \u201cI have been patient waiting for the Coming of the Lord.\u201d You haven\u2019t been patient at all; the One who has been patient is God. Your patience hasn\u2019t been patience; when a person says he has been patient, what he has been is impatient.<\/p>\n Therefore, God is the One who has been patient. And notice, He has waited two thousand years, and He is still waiting; because no elect can be lost, no child of God can\u2026- none can be lost; and if he is not redeemed by the Blood of Christ, if he doesn’t receive Christ, then he can\u2019t be transformed if he is alive. Therefore, God has been patient for that reason.<\/p>\n It is like parents with their children: parents are patient with their children, because those are their children. And sometimes, the father is even patient waiting for his wife to become pregnant, because sometimes the wife or the husband have health issues, and they wait patiently for God to work. Just like Abraham was patient and didn\u2019t despair; and he remained steadfast, hope against hope,[9]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> in other words, waiting for something that couldn\u2019t be hoped for.<\/p>\n And sometimes, some people think: \u201cHow can there be people who are waiting to have a young body, when what is actually happening is that they are getting older?\u201d Because we don\u2019t see the physical part with our own eyes, but rather we see what is promised with our spiritual eyes (and with our physical ones); and that is why we are waiting for an eternal, immortal, incorruptible, and glorified physical body.<\/p>\n And if a believer in Christ died in the past, or dies in our time, he will be resurrected in the new and eternal body; and he will have what he was waiting for. And we who are alive, well, we all desire to continue living until He gives us the new body.<\/p>\n We wouldn\u2019t want people to cry over our departure, because sometimes people don\u2019t understand what a believer\u2019s departure is, and some say: \u201cHe died.\u201d He did not die; he is alive in spirit and soul, and he is in a better place: in Paradise, where there are no more problems. And while family members are crying over here, he is laughing over there, happy and joyful.<\/p>\n And sometimes we may think: \u201cWhen he came to Earth, he came crying,\u201d as if saying: \u201cI don\u2019t want to go there;\u201d but when he leaves, he leaves joyfully, because he did want to go there, to Paradise.<\/p>\n And now, we are here with a Divine purpose, and we want God\u2019s purpose to be fulfilled in us; and we want to keep our eyes wide open to see where Elijah is at this end time.<\/p>\n When he went to Mount Sinai he went inside a cave, he hid in a cave. That mountain is called \u201cthe Mountain (of whom?) of God.\u201d<\/p>\n But now Saint Paul says, in Hebrews, chapter 12, that there is another Mountain. Hebrews, chapter 12, verse\u2026 (I\u2019ll give you the verse\u2026), he is speaking about Mount Sinai; verse 18 and on; but let\u2019s start with verse 22 and on here:<\/p>\n \u201cBut ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now we have come to another mountain: Mount Zion, which is the Mountain of God.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 the heavenly Jerusalem<\/em> (now, this is a heavenly Mountain), and to an innumerable company of angels,<\/em><\/p>\n To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And now, that Mountain, the heavenly Jerusalem, Mount Zion, contains what? The firstborn who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,<\/em><\/p>\n And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n We have come to the Mountain [in] which all of this is. That is Mount Zion; typified in Mount Sinai, and also typified in the earthly Mount Zion; typified in the earthly Jerusalem, because the earthly Jerusalem typifies the heavenly Jerusalem.<\/p>\n And now, on that Mountain\u2026 notice, it says:<\/p>\n \u201cTo God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n We have come to the Mountain where we find the God who is the Judge of all; we have come to Mount Zion, which is the people of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the heavenly Israel.<\/p>\n And to the earthly Mount Zion, the earthly Jerusalem, and therefore, the Spirit of God will also go to the Hebrew people (who are the children of Zion), God will be in their midst; the Spirit of God will be called to go into that army of Ezekiel, chapter 37, verses 1 to 14, and chapter 37, verses 15 to 28.<\/p>\n And therefore, the God of Elijah, who was in the midst of the Hebrew people and has then been in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, will return to the Hebrew people. Where will He return from? From the Mountain of God, from the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n \u201cJust as the Hebrews brought the Gospel to the Gentiles, the Gentiles will take It to the Hebrews, and the Rapture will come,\u201d Reverend William Branham said; there around page 30 of the book of The Seven Church Ages<\/em> in Spanish [The Ages<\/em>, \u201cThe Revelation Of Jesus Christ,\u201d p. 36], around there you will find that. And he says that will be according to Revelation 11; in other words, Revelation 11 is the One who will take the Gospel to the Hebrews; Moses and Elijah, the Two Anointed Ones.<\/p>\n That is why when he wanted to go to Jerusalem he was forbidden,[10]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> because he is not Revelation 11; he is not the fifth Elijah, who comes with Moses, and that is why he was forbidden to go, because that work is for Elijah in his fifth manifestation.<\/p>\n And the manifestation of the God of Elijah will be present there in the midst of the Hebrew people; but before that, the God of Elijah has been in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n And at this end time we can see the history of the Church, and see the God of Elijah from stage to stage in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the midst of Christianity.<\/p>\n We saw Him in the days of the apostles, we saw Him in the days of Saint Paul in the first stage or age of the Church among the Gentiles, and so on, from age to age manifested through the messenger relevant to each age, and manifested in the midst of His Church anointing His different messengers.<\/p>\n We saw Him in the manifestation of the fourth Elijah: in Reverend William Branham, forerunning the Second Coming of the Lord for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for Christianity. And He will be seen in the fifth Elijah in the midst of the Church, and then in the midst of the Hebrew people.<\/p>\n And there is a mystery there, which we won\u2019t speak about at this time; but so that you have an idea, he says: \u201cThe Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal will be the Coming of the Lord.\u201d And he says: \u201cThe Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord; and the Seventh Trumpet is two prophets: Moses and Elijah.\u201d And he says: \u201cWhat the Seventh Seal is to the Church, will be the Seventh Trumpet to Israel.\u201d That is around page 128 and 129 and 130 and 149 of the book of Quotations<\/em>.[11]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> Now that is your assignment, so that you search and are able to see where the God of Elijah is promised to be at this end time.<\/p>\n When you see Israel coming closer to a ministry, to a messenger, to a preacher, to a speaker from Christianity: open your eyes, because the Spirit of God, the God of Elijah, can go to the Hebrews, without the Gentiles realizing it. Just as He left from among the Hebrews to the Gentiles and they didn\u2019t even realize it; He went to call from among the Gentiles a people for His Name, to call people; because He deals with the Gentiles as individuals, but He deals with the Hebrews as a nation.<\/p>\n And He will turn to the Hebrews to call 144,000 Hebrews. See? Always to call the elect; and thus to gather them together and fulfill His purpose.<\/p>\n The Hebrew people will ask: \u201cWhere is the God of Elijah?\u201d They want to see Him, to see Him manifested, so that He restores them, as it has been promised; because they have been going through these stages in which a restoration has already begun, but the total restoration will come at this end time; which is why God will send the prophet Elijah to them, who will restore all things, and will introduce the Messiah to the Hebrew people.<\/p>\n Therefore, the God of Elijah will be with the Hebrew people. But before that, where will we find Him? In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n In which stage of the Church? The first age of the Church among the Gentiles? That is already in the past. The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh age or stage of the Church? That is already in the past. In the gap between the seventh age and the Age of the Cornerstone? Not there either, that is already in the past.<\/p>\n It will be in the Age of the Cornerstone, the Age of Adoption, to obtain the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. That is where the God of Elijah would be manifested, to give us the faith to be transformed and raptured; and that is where He will be manifesting the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time; to reveal Himself, from there, to the Hebrew people later on. That is where He will be veiled and revealed, giving us the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and raptured: the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation that pertains to the end time.<\/p>\n Therefore, we are living in the time when we can all find the God of Elijah in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the stage of the Age of the Adoption, the Age of the Cornerstone.<\/p>\n \u201cWHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH?\u201d<\/strong> We have already seen where He has to be: in the Church, in which age of the Church.<\/p>\n And just as each age of the Church had a territory where it began, and from there it spread to other territories, so we have to see where the Age of the Cornerstone begins and from where it spreads to other places.<\/p>\n The God of Elijah is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He is our God. Because there is no other God; there is only one God, the one true God: the God of Elijah, who is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.<\/p>\n The way Elijah spoke, and the way Elijah took the mantle and opened the Jordan \u2014the Jordan represents death\u2014 now notice, Elisha did the same thing and also opened the Jordan.<\/p>\n Elijah was leaving Jericho with Elisha, crossing the Jordan and crossing over to the other side of the Jordan, but Elisha took Elijah\u2019s mantle and crossed into the promised land by opening the Jordan.<\/p>\n That is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ who will be alive and will go into the promised land of the new body alive; and She will also go into the Millennium or Last Day alive; and it also represents the ministry of Elijah in his fifth manifestation; the mantle of Elijah: the Word.<\/p>\n Notice, Elisha had asked for a double portion of the spirit that was in Elijah. And the only one in whom there will be a double portion at the Last Day will be the fifth Elijah, he will have a double ministerial portion.<\/p>\n There, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and then in the midst of the Hebrew people, there will be a double ministerial portion, which will be the portion of the ministry of Elijah and of the ministry of Moses: the fifth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah and the second manifestation of the ministry of Moses; and through those two manifestations, God will work with the Hebrew people.<\/p>\n Elijah will know what and how he will have to speak to the Hebrew people; no one else will know how to speak to the Hebrew people, nor what must be spoken to them. Although they may try to come up with\u2026; no one will know how to speak to the Hebrew people, because everything is already programmed, and it is appointed to be under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees.<\/p>\n And no one can take someone else\u2019s ministerial place. Not even the fourth Elijah was able to take the place of the ministry of the fifth Elijah; when he tried, wholeheartedly, with good intentions, thinking that the ministry of one of the Two Olive Trees would be fulfilled in him, he was told not to go to Jerusalem, to Israel; and it was also revealed to him that the fourth Elijah is not the fifth Elijah.<\/p>\n Notice, if he had gone and been successful there, and the prophecy of the call of 144,000 Hebrews had been fulfilled, then the prophecy would have been altered; but it cannot be altered.<\/p>\n That is why he later says that the fifth Elijah is not the fourth Elijah, and that the fourth Elijah is not the fifth Elijah;[12]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> and if he says so, then that is how it is. Even if he returned, he would still be the fourth Elijah.<\/p>\n But he said: \u201cSomeday God will send a prophet there; that will be the great thing that will happen there.\u201d Notice, the great thing that he says will happen there is the appearing of a prophet there in Israel. He says: \u201cOne who will be a prophet.\u201d Let\u2019s see where that is, we\u2019re about to conclude. On page 41 of the book of Quotations<\/em>, paragraph 333,[13]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> he says:<\/p>\n 333 – \u201c301 Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day<\/em> of the Gentile<\/em> (or, of the Gentiles) is finished<\/em> (that is when that dispensation ends), the Gospel is ready, go to the Jews. Oh, I could, if I could just foretell you a little something that\u2019s fixing to happen right here, see, right in this day. You see? It\u2019s fixing to happen. We get it in the Church Age. And this <\/em>great thing is fixing to happen, will carry over to Revelation 11 and pick up those two prophets, Elijah and the Moses returning back again for the Jews. We\u2019re ready for it. Everything is setting in order, just ready. This Gentile Message, as the Jews brought it to the Gentiles, the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews again. And the Rapture will come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Here he puts the Rapture after that connection with the Jews.<\/p>\n There is another place; let\u2019s see if Benjie has it ready there, where he says: \u201cThe great thing that will happen\u2026\u201d I don\u2019t remember where\u2026 He says: \u201cThe great thing that will happen will be (he says) a holy\u2026\u201d (Which one?) We don\u2019t have it here\u2026 He says that \u201cit will be a man, a prophet, whom He will send, the great thing that will happen.\u201d Therefore, that will be something great that is promised for Israel; and that is what will shake the Hebrew people at this end time.<\/p>\n So, we already know about all this. Search in your books of Quotations<\/em>, and there you will find out about all this that I have spoken to you; and that way you will be able to have a clearer picture of everything that has been happening.<\/p>\n There is an established Hour; that is why the Angel told him: \u201cThe hour is not yet, to go to Israel.\u201d We don\u2019t have this handy here just yet, to give it to you here, but we can find it later so that you have it as well. Let\u2019s leave this alone here, for the time being, since\u2026<\/p>\n In plain words, that will be the Rider or a white-horse Rider who will come from the West; and then Elijah says: \u201cWe\u2019ll ride this trail once more – again.\u201d[14]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n From the West, the God of Elijah will appear manifested in the Elijah of the Last Day, who will be the fifth Elijah promised to the Hebrew people and also to the Church. There will be a mystery that will be fulfilled there, which we can\u2019t speak much about now; but remember that it has to do with the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal.<\/p>\n We are already quite far along in the Divine Program, where we have to see the God of Elijah, promised to be manifested at this end time.<\/p>\n In the fourth manifestation, he said: \u201cIn the Third Pull, I come for them,\u201d in other words, for the elect, for the big fish, in plain words.<\/p>\n If we continue speaking here, we would also have to say that that will be \u201cWhite Eagle;\u201d what was written on the rock, which said: \u201cWhite Eagle.\u201d[15]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> And that was when he also saw, and he speaks of, an Indian chief with his Indian chief garments, and he was a westerner; and he was riding a white horse;[16]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a> and that was \u201cWhite Eagle.\u201d<\/p>\n Remember that the Indians used to have names like that, \u201cWhite Eagle\u201d and names of birds or animals like that sometimes. Notice how far the prophetic typology goes for God to show or put in symbols everything that He is going to carry out. And all of that was in the rock.<\/p>\n So we hope that God\u2026 [A brother says: 54<\/em>] Let\u2019s search for 54; 54, paragraph what? [Bro: Paragraph 54.<\/em>] Oh, paragraph 54? [Bro: Yes.<\/em>] So, that should be around\u2026 [Bro: Page 7.<\/em>] Page 7 [Quotations<\/em>][17]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a>:<\/p>\n 54 – \u201c278 Them hundred and forty-four thousand will stand yonder. And one of these days, some Divine, holy, anointed prophet of God will go over there with signs and wonders. Those Jews will say, \u2018That\u2019s what I\u2019m looking for.\u2019 [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit four times\u2014Ed.] Yes, sir.
