During
the ministry of William Branham, there were two things that caused more
controversy among the Denominational and Pentecostal churches than anything
else, and these were:

Prefacio -
Durante
el ministerio de William Branham, dos cosas más que nada, causaron controversia
entre las iglesias denominacionales y pentecostales, y estas fueron:
* Doctrine #1) Brother
Branham's use of the term Vindication : "That, God has a One man Message and He
deals with One man only". This
caused much of the clergy to alienate brother Branham, which was due mostly to professional
jealousy.
*
Doctrina #1)
La enseñanza y el uso del Hno. Branham del término
"Vindicación". Que Dios en determinado tiempo, al enviar su
mensaje, lo haría y trataría a travéz de un solo
hombre: Su Mensajero - Profeta para esa hora. Esta doctrina causó moléstias al
"Clero" (pastores) debido principalmente a
envidia y celo profesional.
* Doctrine #2) Brother Branham's teaching on the Godhead, for He did not
teach as the Oneness or Jesus Only, nor did he teach a
Trinity. He said, "I stand in between them. I do not believe in a Trinity
where there is three persons, and neither do I believe
that Jesus is One like your finger in One."
*
Doctrina #2)
La segunda fué su doctrina
(enseñanza) sobre "La Deidad Suprema". El no la enseñó
These two doctrinal issues were
the "Rock of Offense" that kept brother Branham from being accepted
by the Church world in His day. Why is it that the Trinitarian Cult chasers
brandish brother Branham as a Oneness and yet the
Oneness think he is Trinitarian. It is because he was neither of these two
schools of thought? He stood right between them, and they could not discern the
difference, but they knew he didn't preach it like they do. He was not Oneness, neither was he Twoness or Threeness. But he
believed there is One God who had a Son. Not God the
Son, but the Son of God.
Estos dos temas de doctrina
fueron "La Roca de Ofensa" mayor que evitó que el Hno. Branham fuera recibido por el establecimiento religioso de sus
días. Al no ser entendido, los trinitarios lo tildaron
de "unitario" y estos lo tildaron de "trinitario".
Ellos sólo notaron que predicaba y enseñaba distinto y no
pudieron discernir
la diferencia. El hermano se mantenía en su creencia :"Que
hay un Dios que tiene un Hijo, no Dios
el Hijo – si
no El Hijo de Dios".
It should come then as no surprise that amongst the very followers of
William Branham, these same two major doctrines have caused more controversy
and have been attacked more than all others.
No sería novedad que estas dos mayores
doctrinas fuesen también malentendidas y motivo principal de discrepancia y
ataques aún entre los propios seguidores de William Branham.
.
* Doctrine #1) Again Vindication is the issue: Not so much that it was
God who backed up William Branham's Message, for all Pentecostal people believe
that God works out of heaven and does fantastic things. They will even allow
for God to come down to do certain things, but the understanding that this
Vindication comes in the Form of God's Personal Presence with His Prophet, and
that this Presence was referred to by Brother Branham himself as the Appearing
of Christ has become the central doctrinal debate within the "Message
clergy" because it comes into direct conflict with their understanding of
the Second coming of Christ as they have always perceived it, and this is due
to the fact that they do not understand Godhead correctly.
Viéndo esto más a fondo: En la Doctrina #1 "Vindicación", el
tópico no es tanto a que se refiera que Dios respaldaría el Mensaje de Wm.
Branham. Los
pentecostales aún creyendo que Dios hace sus obras desde el cielo aceptarían la
idéa o noción que el descendería en ocaciones a realizar obras muy especiales.
Pero!!! hé aquí el "gran pero". De que
"Vindicación" es "La Presencia Personal de Dios en este Mensajero-Profeta", no lo entienden ni lo
acéptan. Y esta "Presencia", "Parousia", el mismo Hno. Branham la
refiere como "El Aparecer de Cristo" se ha transformado en el principal debate doctrinal especialmente entre
"El Clero" de este mensaje por
que está en conflicto con el entendimiento que ellos tienen de "La Segunda
Venida" y esto es debido a que
fállan de entender "La Deidad
Suprema” correctamente.
Most people who
have come to the Message have come from a Trinitarian background. The problem
though, is that they left the Trinitarians and have become Oneness in their
thinking until perhaps 99% of the people who claim to follow the message today
are Oneness in their thinking. This is due to the fact they have failed to
really listen to what brother Branham taught us on the Godhead. And because of
professional jealousy amongst the clergy again, we see the same alienation of
those who have stood by what Brother Branham has taught pertaining to the
correct understanding of the Appearing and Godhead.
La Doctrina #2) "La Deidad
Suprema". La mayoría de los seguidores de este
mensaje vienen de una formación trinitaria y ahora dejando esa doctrina se irían al otro extremo,
de tal modo que quizás un 99% tendrían tendencias unitarias en su manera de
pensar. Y repitiéndo, la razón principal es
que han fallado de entender corréctamente lo que el
Hno. Branham enseñó acerca de "La Deidad Suprema", y
From pp. 202 [Identified Christ of all ages], 64-0617 brother Branham
said, "The Presence of Jesus Christ, which ought to illuminate the church,
to know that in this last days where creeds and denominations and isms and
everything has got the Word all smothered out, and Jesus the Word on the
outside of the church, [Rev 3: 20, James 5: 7-9, John 12: 48, 2 Thess 1: 7-10 ,
Matt 16:27,] and to see Him come right back among the people and identify
Himself as He promised, "in the last days when the Son of man is being
revealed."
De la página 202 (Cristo
Identificado a Travéz de las Edades), el Hno. Branham nos dice:"La
Presencia de Jesucristo, que tendría que iluminar a su iglesia, para
entender estos últimos días, días en que credos, denominacionalísmo
e "ísmos "de toda especie tratan de hacer La Palabra de no efecto, y
Jesús, La Palabra, fuera de la iglesia, (Ap.3:20,
Stgo.5:7-9, Juan 12:48, 2Ts.1:7-10, Mt.16:27,) y verlo a El en medio de todo
esto venir y identificarse a Si Mismo, a su pueblo, como nos lo ha prometido,
"en los últimos días cuando El Hijo
del Hombre Es Revelado".
He was revealed in the baptism; He was revealed in Divine
healing; here He is in His last attribute. Remember, that was the last thing that Abraham
saw before the fire fell and Judged the Gentile world, and before the promised
son came on the scene, Isaac. This is the last thing that the Christian church will
see, in the sign of miracle, until the appearing of Jesus Christ. If God has
give me favor before you, believe me in the Name of the Lord, there is nothing else left in the Bible to be done but
take on the mark of the beast; and you have the Seal of God. And What did Abraham call him?
He said, Shall not the Judge of the earth do right ?
El fué revelado en El
Bautismo; El fué revelado en Sanamiento Divino; aquí ahora El está en Su Ultimo
Atributo. Recuerda que fué lo último que Abraham vió antes que el fuego
cayera juzgando al mundo gentíl, justo antes que el hijo prometido, Isaac,
viniera a la escena.
Esto será lo último que la iglesia verá,
So we see that the Judge has once again come down in the Form of The Word
to judge amongst the Living and the dead. For if He must bring forth a
resurrection, then He must have already chosen who will come forth and He is
here to execute this Judgment. This is why in his Message [Perfect Faith] he
could say he was "standing before the White Throne, now."
Again we notice brother Branham's gift of discernment. And what is
discernment but a judging. And Who Judges but a Judge. And this is why brother
Branham made such a point in showing the people the Picture in [Life Magazine]
of the Cloud of angels which made up God's White Wig, which he called the
"Supreme Judge".
Aquí estamos viéndo que
"El Juez" ha descendido en la Forma de La Palabra a juzgar de entre
los vivos y los muertos. Pero si El tiene que manifestar una
resurreción, entonces El ya tendría que tener a los eléctos que se presentarán y El está
aquí para ejercer ese juicio. Por eso en el mensaje (Fé
Perfecta) el puede decir, “estar parado en frente de El Trono Blanco de Juicio,
ahora". Y de nuevo notando el don de discernimiento de el hermano..Y que es discernimiento si no un
juicio.Y Quién es el que júzga si no un juez. Y es por esto
que el hno. Branham hace un punto muy importante, mostrándonos la foto
(Revista Life) de La Nube de Angeles que han formado la Peluca Blanca de Dios,
a quién él llama “El
Juez Supremo".
Unless the people can see that the Judge is here, they won't understand
the last attribute that God is manifesting to them before we are caught up to
meet Jesus His Son in the air. We shall study this more in the chapter on the
Glory [Doxa] of Christ. I hope you enjoy this book. I will publish more
chapters as the Lord permits. God bless you.
A menos que la gente pueda ver que El Juez
está aquí, no
entenderían el último atributo que Dios está manifestándo
a ellos, justo antes de El Rapto para encontrarnos con Su Hijo en el aire. Estudiaremos esto más a fondo en el capítulo sobre La Gloria (Doxa)
de Cristo.
" This is my ministry, see, to declare Him, that He is here!" [From That
Time PP. 227] These eleven words could very well be the most profound statement
that Brother Branham ever said, and yet the majority
of people who claim to follow his message simply pass over these words and do
not understand what he was trying to tell them
.
Véa,”Este Es Mi Ministerio, Declararlo a El, que El Está Aquí". El nos díce en su mensaje
(Désde Ese Tiempo). Estas once
palabras muy bién podrían ser las más profúndas que el Hno. haya dicho en todo tiempo; pero aún así la mayoría que clama
seguir este mensaje fállan darles el significado e importancia que tienen.
Ahora en (Héchos
In [ACTS
The Message of Christ's Appearing
went forth from the lips of God's anointed servant William Branham to the
Pentecostal people and God Himself backed up this Message of His own Appearing,
showing infallible proofs of His resurrection and Presence, yet even those who
claimed to receive Brother Branham and claim to believe every word he said,
reject the very message he brought.
El Mensaje del Aparecer de Cristo vino de
los labios del sirviente (profeta) ungido de Dios, William Branham, a la gente
pentecostal y Dios mísmo
respaldando este Mensaje de su Propio Aparecer, mostrándo prueba irrefutable de
Su Resurrección y Presencia y aún así esos que declaran creer cada palabra del hermano.Branham,
rechazan el mismo Mensaje que él nos trajo.
I have heard these same men on
their own tapes call this Presence of Christ, "just another doctrine"
and some have even called it "Puke" because in their ignorance they
could not pronounce the word "Parousia". Others have even called it
"garbage". To think that these men know what this
word means and yet would call the very Presence of God, "Garbage or
Puke". Jesus Himself said, "To speak one word against the Holy
Ghost when He comes will never be forgiven, no not in this world or the world
to come."
Yo he escuchado a estos mísmos hombres en sus
mensajes grabados, llamar esta Presencia de Cristo, "una doctrina
más", e ir aún más lejos y llamar a esta doctrina "vómito" porque en su
ignorancia no podían pronunciar la palabra "Parousia". Otros la han llamado "basura". Pensar que estos hombres saben
el significado de estas palabras y aún así llamar la misma Presencia de Dios. Jesús dijo "Hablar
una sola palabra contra El Espíritud Santo, cuando El Venga, no será núnca
perdonado, no en este mundo, no en el venidero".
The scripture says, "Had they known who He was, they would not have
crucified the Lord of Glory". So in their own ignorance they crucified
Christ. And since the scriptures can not be broken, [Hebrews 6:4-6] tells us
that this will repeat again in this last days. " For it is impossible for those who have been once for
all enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly Gift (The Lord Christ Himself)
and were made partakers (companions) of the Holy Ghost, having fallen away, it
is impossible for them to renew themselves again, seeing that they crucify the
Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame ( public disgrace)."
La escritura nos dice, "Si ellos
hubieran conocido quién El era, no hubieran crucificado al Señor de la
Gloria". Asi por su propia ignorancia
crucificaron a Cristo. Y
Now brother Branham taught us that [Hebrews 6] refers to Christ in the Form of
the Word in the last days. So we see then that these men will be judged for their
blasphemous words and yet they claim that they have always known Christ is
here, for, say they, " He's always been here. I know He's here because I
can feel Him in my heart." They are simply deceived by their own
indoctrination and as the scripture calls them, "Ignorant in their our own conceit." Brother Branham said in His
message entitled 'A DECEIVED CHURCH' "But as
Ahora el Hno.Branham nos
enseñó que (hebreos 6) se refiere a Cristo en la forma de la Palabra en estos
últimos días. Así que aquí vemos que estos hombres serán juzgados por sus palabras de blasfemia y aún así ellos declaran que han tenido el
conocimiento que Cristo siempre ha
estado aquí, porque ellos dicen, "El siempre ha estado aquí. Yo lo
se por que lo siento en mi corazón ."Ellos simplemente estan confundidos a causa de su
propia indoctrinación.” El Hno. Branham dice en su mensaje (Una Iglesia Engañada), "
So is it today, oh, Lord. The King of Glory has appeared in the form of
the Holy Ghost and Lord, They don't know it. They don't recognize it. They're
so organized so tight, that they do not understand it, because It's not in their organization. Lord this is a work of the
devil that's done this to the people. May the Samson of God, may the True in
heart, Those who are longing and crying and pleading
and holding on, may they stay with It, Lord, until this new crop grows out.
Until there comes forth a joy in
El Hno. prosigue,
"Así es hoy en día, oh, Señor. El Rey de La Gloria ha aparecido en la
forma
That can see the Messiah and the
hidden power that's hid from the world, that they will
not understand now. Grant, Lord, that they'll see this, for we ask It in Jesus
name, amen ." Brother Branham said that his
ministry was to declare that Christ is here among us. Now, if Christ has
always been here, as some people
preach, and if the people also knew it, then, why would God send a prophet forth to declare
something that was already known. God
has never wasted His time sending forth a Messenger with a Message that the
people already knew. From the [TOKEN] (
El Hermano Branham nos dice que su ministerio
es declarar que Cristo está
aquí presente entre nosotros .Ahora si Cristo siempre ha estado presente aquí, como algunos predican, y si la
gente a estado en conocimiento de esto, entonces por que Dios tendría que
enviarnos un profeta a decirnos lo ya sabemos y es de conocimiento público.
Dios
no perdería su tiempo haciendo esto .En su mensaje (La Señal), el Hno.
Branham nos dice, cuando Ud. vé señales manifestándose y no hay un mensaje que siga, eso sería de la "misma muy usada
escuela teológica",y por
supuesto no sería de Dios. Pero he aquí "grandes señales expuestas y un Mensaje que sigue"."Mi Ministerio es Declararlo
a El, y a Su Presencia". Pero la mayoría de los
seguidores de William Branham creen que "El Mensaje de La Hora" es
que "Dios Envió Un Profeta", y el propósito
de este mensaje es para conocer al Hermano Branham. Ahora Yo les preguntaría:
"Desde cuando Dios enviaría un profeta para que este profeta se declarace
a si mismo?".Aún Jesús nos dijo,"Si testifico de mi
mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero" Por eso si el Hno. viene y testifica de si mismo, este testimonio sería falso,
tal
Numero 1.) Declarar a Cristo, y Numero 2.) Anunciar su Presencia entre nosotros.
Estoy seguro él dijo lo
que él significó y significó lo que él dijo. El no vino, de ninguna
manera, para añadir algo más a las
enseñanzas pentecostales,
El propósito de su
vida es "Declarar a Cristo, que El ha descendido” Con Voz de
Mandato",que es precisamente lo que
Este Mensaje Es, para reunir a la Novia
de Cristo, la Palabra, y prepararla para el Rapto. Examinando
sus palabras, el Hno. nos dice, que deberíamos
conocer que significa "Declarar algo". La palabra
"Declarar" viene de la palabra griega "Exegesis" que significa
"traer a plena vista","dar a conocer con total
claridad","revelar". La Escritura nos habla en varias partes que
"El Hijo del Hombre será
revelado en los últimos días",y esta sería la razón por la cuál ellos acceptarían el hecho que Dios envió un profeta.
Pero niegan precisamente el objetivo del Ministerio
que este Profeta fué encargado por
Dios ha traernos. El Mensaje
1) "Uno mayor que Salomón está aquí" A quién el Hno. está apuntando, a
si mismo? o al mismo que Juan Bautista señaló a la
gente. Cristo entre nosotros. Juan
dijo,"El está parado entre
nosotros y no lo reconocemos".
2) "Cristo identificado a travéz de las Edades". Que significa Cristo identificado?.
Porque
tendría que suceder?.
3) "El Poderoso Dios Develado ante
nosotros". La palabra "develado", o "quitando el velo"
nos hace saber que lo que estaba "oculto" es presentado "a plena
vista", lo que antes era un misterio es ahora
revelado. De modo que "El Dios Todopoderoso" es expuesto ante
nuestros ojos. Desplegado para ser visto. Entonces nos
deberíamos preguntar: "Cómo tendría que El Ser
Develado?". La respuesta reside exactamente en El
Mensaje que el Hermano Branham predica.
4) "Quién Ud.
Dice Es Este?". Y esta es la
pregunta. Muchos no saben quién está aquí. Acerca de quién el Hno.
Branham nos habla. El no podría estar hablando de si mismo al usar
la palabra "Este" se refiere a otro, no a si mismo. Y quién sería "Este" otro si no Cristo Mismo?. Además
si habla de Jesús en el pasado sería "Quién Ud. Dice Fué
Ese?". Pero él lo trae al tiempo presente..
5) "La Presencia No Reconocida de
Dios". El título por si le da a entender que Dios
está aquí, pero su presencia no es reconocida. Este
no reconocerlo se debe a que ellos lo esperan de una manera distinta.
.
6) "Quién Es
Este Melquisedec?". Note el énfasis es en "Quién Es Este?" que significa que está señalando
a alguién.
Si estuviera hablando en un sentido historico El hubiera dicho:"Quién Fué Ese?"
7) "Míre". El hermano Branham
predicó este mensaje un poco después que predicó Los Siete Sellos y El empezó diciendo,"Ahora una
persona dice "Míre" cuando quiere que Ud. véa algo que el ha visto, pero Ud. no ha notado.
8) "Cristo Es El Misterio de Dios
Revelado". El énfasis
no es que "Cristo Fué El
Misterio" pero que "El Es El Misterio" que está siendo revelado ahora entre nosotros.
Y si se hubiera referido al Jesús historico de hace 2000 años el Hno .hubiera dicho, "Cristo
Fué El Misterio de Dios
Revelado".
9) "Qué Haré Yo Con Este Jesús LLamado El Cristo?". Esta es una honesta pregunta para
Ud. al estar leyendo este estudio. Qué lo que Ud. hará con este Jesús
que está ahora aquí?.
10) "Mirando Hacia Jesús". Ahora
11) "Jesús Mantiene Todos Sus
Citas". Y que cita nosotros esperamos de El en estos últimos años. El mantiene
sus citas
12) “Cristo es Revelado en Sus Propias
Palabras.
La
respuesta a
He said, "My Ministry is to declare Him, That He is Here!" Now most of the people that follow the Message
of God's servant William Branham believe the Message of the hour is, "God
sent a prophet! "They believe that the Message
was to get you to see who brother Branham was. Now, I would like to ask, since
when has God sent forth a Messenger to declare himself. Since when has any
Messenger of God come forth with a Message, "Look, here I am. God sent
me!" Even Jesus said, "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not
true." So for brother Branham to come and preach about himself would make himself not true just as Jesus said. So then what is the
Message? He said, "My Ministry is to declare Him, that He is Here!"
Now this is a two fold Message. Number 1) To declare Christ, and Number 2 ) To declare His very Presence among us. I am sure that he
said what he meant and he meant what he
said. He didn't come just to pass on more Pentecostal teaching as some would like
you to believe. His whole Purpose
in Life
was to declare Christ, that He
has come down with a shout, which he said was
a message to gather the bride to Christ the Word, to get her ready for a rapture.
Now in examining what he said, we must
know what it means
to declare something. The word declare is
a Greek word exegesis meaning to lead forth into view; to make clearly known,
to reveal. The scripture speaks in various places that the Son of Man is to be
revealed in the last days,
yet why is it that they will accept the fact that God has sent
a prophet, but they will deny the
very ministry that the prophet says he is sent to bring? Brother
Branham's Message was surely greater than the Pentecostal message that had preceded him by many years.
If you would just stop
for a moment and examine the
theme of His Message to the End-time
Bride, you will find even the titles of his sermons a sure give away as to his real purpose.
1) [A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE] ( Now why
would he preach this? What is his purpose? Was he pointing the people to
Himself, or to the same One that John pointed the people to.
Christ among us. John said, "He's standing in your midst and you don't
know it.")
2) [IDENTIFIED CHRIST OF ALL AGES] (What does
it mean the Identified Christ? How is Christ to
be identified? Who does the identifying? How does it take place? When is it to take place? Why is it to
take place?)
3) [THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US] (The word unveiled let's us know that which
was hidden comes into plain view, that which was a
mystery is now revealed. So the Mighty God must now be in plain view. And if in
plain view, then
He must be here to be viewed or on display. Then we must ask the question, How is He to be
unveiled? The answer lies in that very Message brother Branham
preached.)
4) [WHO DO YOU SAY THIS IS?] (And that is the question. Many don't know
who is here. Who was
brother Branham speaking about? It could not have been himself, because when he
uses the word THIS it refers to another, not self. Who was that other if it
wasn't Christ Himself? Also you will note, if he spoke of Jesus back there he
would have said, Who do you say that was? But he is
bringing it into present tense.)
5) [THE UNRECOGNIZED PRESENCE OF GOD] (This title alone ought to let you know that
He is
here but unrecognized. Why is He unrecognized? Because they expected Him to come
another way.)
6) [WHO IS THIS MELCHISEDEC?]
( Notice the
emphasis is on WHO IS THIS, which signifies that he was pointing to someone. If
he was speaking only in a historical sense he would have said, WHO WAS THAT?)
7) [LOOK] ( Brother Branham preached this Message shortly after he
preached the Seven Seals and he began by saying, "now a person says
"LOOK" when he wants you to see something that he see's but that you
don't".)
8) [CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED] The emphasis is not that
Christ was the Mystery but that He is the mystery that is being revealed here
now, among us. If this was referring to a historical Jesus of 2,000 years ago,
he would have said, "Christ was the Mystery of God Revealed." )
9) [WHAT SHALL I DO WITH THIS JESUS CALLED CHRIST?] (
That is a fair question to ask you today as you read this book. What
will you do with this Jesus Who is here?)
10) [LOOKING UNTO JESUS] ( Now how could we look unto Jesus if He
is somewhere else and can not be seen?)
11) [JESUS KEEPS ALL HIS APPOINTMENTS] ( And
what appointment do we expect in this last hour. He's here keeping His appointments as He
declared in His Word. As you
read this book you shall see many of the things we shall examine
these in detail later in this book.)
12) [CHRIST REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD] (
The answer as to how He has revealed His Presence and Himself to us in this last hour is exactly
what this message declares. He is revealed in His own Word.)
As we can see, the central theme of His
entire message was to declare
CHRIST, and His Presence among us. But the Pentecostals have rejected His message
in favor of there old worn out message.
From [Q & A ON THE HOLY GHOST] PG. 19, he said, "Now when the
Holy Ghost comes in and reveals the Truth of anything and proves it by His
Presence and by His Word, you can't expect the Pentecostal people to say I'll
agree with it! You've got to stand alone like Luther did. "
De (Preguntas y Respuestas
Sobre EL Espíritud Santo) pg.19, el Hno. Nos dice,”Ahora, cuando El
Espíritud Santo viene y revela la Total Verdad y nos lo prueba por Su Presencia
y por Su Palabra, Ud. no podría esperar que muchos,
especialmente los Pentecostales, estuvieran de acuerdo con esto. Ud. tendría que pararse solo,
Now he said that His ministry was to declare that Christ was here among us, and the
word "declare" means: To make known openly by an explicit or clear
statement to show or reveal. So what was he saying when he said, "My ministry is to
declare Him, that He is here. "
Ahora El dice que Su Ministerio es con el único propósito, Declarar La
Presencia de Cristo, y la palabra “declarar” significa: Dar a conocer abiertamente con explícito o
claro anuncio, mostrar, revelar. Entonces que es lo que él nos trata de indicar cuando dice, ”Mi Ministerio
es Declararlo a El, y que El Está
Presente Aquí entre nosotros”.
Brother Branham is telling us that His whole ministry was for one purpose and one
purpose only, and that was to introduce
or declare Christ's Presence. His
great commission was thus, "As John the Baptist foreran My
first coming, so shall your Message forerun my second." John the Baptist's ministry was for one purpose and one
purpose only, to introduce
Christ.
El Hermano Branham nos está diciendo que el único propósito de su
ministerio es Introducir o Declarar La Presencia de Cristo. Su Gran Comisión fué:
“Como Juan Bautista Precedió Mi Primera Venida así Tu Mensaje Precederá Mi
Segunda”.
El Ministerio de Juan
Bautista único propósito fué Introducir a Cristo. Ahora,
hubiera habido la necesidad de ese ministerio si todos estarían ya informados de la
Presencia de Cristo?. Así
Justo antes del
Hermano decirnos éstas muy memorables palabras, él nos dice.”Cuantos conocen que hay una gran
diferencia entre El Aparecer de Cristo y La Venida de Cristo?.
Son dos palabras distintas, ahora El Aparecer, y pronto será La Venida. El ha aparecido entre
nosotros realizando de nuevo las obras que El hizo anteriormente, pero ahora en Su
Iglesia.
Now, would John's ministry even be needed if
everyone had already known that Christ was
present? Wouldn't brother Branham's statement be considered absurd if he came with a
message to tell us what we already knew? Does not the word Declare tell us by
definition that it is to "Make
fully known", something that wasn't known. Brother Branham was
saying, " My ministry is to
declare Him, that He is here." Just before he said these most notable
words, he said the following. " How many knows there's a difference between the
Appearing of Christ and the Coming of Christ? It's two different words, Now's
the Appearing; the coming will soon be. He's Appearing
in the midst of us, doing the works that He once did, in His church.
Ahora si nosotros
verdaderamente creémos que el Hno.
Branham es el Mensajero Ordenado de Dios para la Edad,
tendríamos que examinar cuidadosamente lo que El está diciéndonos.
Si es un hecho que Cristo siempre ha estado aquí, entonces para que tendríamos
la necesidad de un profeta para decir lo ya sabido .En [Juan1:18) leemos “ A Dios nadie le vió jamás; el unigénito Hijo, que está en El Seno del Padre, El le ha dado a conocer”. Y
" Now if we truly believe that brother
Branham was God's ordained
Messenger for this age, then we must
examine carefully what he was
trying to tell us. If in fact Christ has always been
here, then what do we need a prophet to tell us what we already know. In
[JOHN
Again we see in [1 JOHN 1:1-3] "That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked
upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of Life. (For the Life was
manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that
Eternal Life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) that
which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye may have fellowship
with us: and truly our fellowship with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.
De nuevo vemos en (1 Juan 1:1-3) ”Lo que era desde el principio, lo que hemos oído, lo que
hemos visto con nuestro ojos, lo que hemos comtemplado y palparon nuestras
manos tocante al Verbo de Vida. (porque la Vida fué Manifestada, y la hemos
visto, y testificamos, y os anunciamos La Vida Eterna, la cuál estaba con el
Padre y se nos Manifestó) lo que hemos visto y oído, éso os anunciamos, para
que también vosotros tengáis comunión con nosotros; y nuestra comunión
verdaderamente es con El Padre y con Su Hijo Jesucristo”.
The purpose for this study then as
now is to invite you into this
fellowship which comes from the
"Presence" of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ who has once again in this last day come
down to
earth and has manifested His
PRESENCE among us in a way which He has not for over 2,000 years. He has
returned, once again veiled in the Pillar of Fire.
El propósito de éste estudio
Misunderstanding surrounding this "PRESENCE" have resulted
in many questions being asked
through-out "The Message".
Hopefully this
study shall answer some of these questions and quell some of the
commentary as well. This study is in no way all conclusive on the matter but is meant to be only a
help to those who have questions concerning this Great event:
"His Presence".
Malentendiendo lo que rodéa Esta Presencia ha dado
We shall refer to the Greek word Parousia through out this study by it's English equivalent
(Presence). The word "Parousia" actually means
"the act of Arrival and subsequent
Presence." It focuses the
attention not on the arrival but on the events after the arrival, or the
Presence. It has been used to refer to
Christ's Presence here among us.
Nos referiremos a la palabra griega
“Parousia” a travéz de éste estudio usando su equivalente “Presencia”. Esta palabra “Parousia” realmente comprende el acto de arribar
(aparecer) y el acto de estar presente. No está enfocada tanto en el
acto de arribar, pero en la subsequente presencia. Es usada para referirse
a la Presencia de Cristo entre nosotros.
It has been called a
new doctrine by some,
but it is not. Actually the
doctrine of the
Parousia or more commonly
known as "The Presence" is as old as
the bible itself. Jesus, in the book of Matthew spoke of it,
Luke spoke of
it, Peter and John both spoke of it and so did Paul. This Revelation of
Christ and His divine Presence that was to strike
the earth in one final Glorious manifestation to the Gentiles before His second coming, was lost during the
dark ages of church history .
Ha sido llamada “una nueva doctrina” por algunos. En realidad esta doctrina es tan
The Catholic church did the most
to hide this Glorious Truth during her thousand year reign in which she taught that
Christ was here ruling through her, Vicariously. The Pope was to be
God's mouth piece to man on earth, and it was through this blasphemous pretense that Christ's Presence
was displayed and established in the
earth. This was man's darkest hour.
Al empezar La Luz ha retornar y después de Martin Lutero, en la Edad
As the light started coming back after Martin Luther, we see in the age of man, various ministries rise up
who began to understand that Christ was to come in the form of the Holy Ghost in
the closing hours of humanity.

In 1897,

Another author, Israel P. Warren DD of Portland Maine, wrote in His book
[The Parousia] 1879 in pp. 12-15 "We often speak of the second advent, the
second coming, etc., but the Scriptures never speak of a second Parousia..
Whatever was to be it's nature, it was something
peculiar, having never occurred before and being never to occur again. It was
to be a Presence differing from and superior to all other manifestations of
Himself to men, so that It's designation should
properly stand by Itself, without any qualifying Epithet other than the
article, "The Presence".
Otro autor, Israel P. Warren D.D. de la
ciudad de Portland, Maine, escribió en su libro (The Parousia) ,en 1879, “
Nosotros constantemente hablamos the segundos sucusos ,the una segunda venida
etc., pero Las Escrituras nunca nos menciona una Segunda Parousia. Cualquiera
que sea su naturaleza, tendría que ser algo muy peculiar, un
suceso único, nunca antes conocido de haber sucedido, y que no sucedería nunca
más. Tendría que ser una Presencia Diferente y muy
superior a toda otra Manifestación de Si Mismo (Cristo) al hombre, de aquí que
esta designación es completa, tal cuál
como: Su Presencia (Parousia)”.
"From this view of the word it is evident, I think, that neither the
English word coming, nor the Latin Advent, is the best representative of the
word. They do not conform to It's etymology; they do
not correspond to the idea of the verb from which It is derived; nor could they
appropriately be substituted for the more exact word, "Presence". In
the cases where the translators used the latter, nor is
the ratical <root> of them the same. "Coming"
and "Advent" give most prominently the conception of an approach to
us, motion toward us; "Parousia" That of being with us, without
reference as to how it began.
“Desde este punto de vista
, es evidente que las palabras
“Venir nor Arribar” son representativas, no conformándose a su etimología; no
corresponden a la idéa de el verbo de dónde se deriva, y no habría una mejor
palabra
The force of coming or advent ends
with arrival; that of Presence begins with the arrival. Coming and advent are
words of motion whereas Presence shows rest. The space of time covered by the
action of coming or advent is limited, it may be
momentary; that of Presence is unlimited. Had our translators done with this
technical word "Parousia" as they did with "Baptisma"
transferring it unchanged, or if translated using It's exact etymological
equivalent, "Presence" and had It been well understood, as It then
would have been, that there is no such thing as a second "Presence,"'
I believe that the entire doctrine would have been different from what it now
is. The phrases, "second advent," and "Second coming,"
would never have been heard. The church would have been taught to speak of the
"Presence" of the Lord, as that from which It's hopes were to be
realized, whether in the future or at the remotest period, that under which the
world was to be made new, A resurrection both Spiritual and corporeal should be
attained, and justice and everlasting awards administered," ....He
continued, "The word Parousia
became the official term for a visit of a person of high rank, especially Kings
& Emperors visiting a province."
Antes de proseguir con otros autores de épocas
pasadas
que sabían que vendría una Parousia de Cristo, quisiera reflexionar en
lo que ya se ha dicho. Primero que todo el autor
Before we move on to other authors of ages gone by who knew that there
was to come a Parousia of Christ, I want to just stop
here and reflect upon a few things already said. First of all
En su mensaje (La Presencia No Reconocida)
From his message called
[Unrecognized Presence] 6 - 18 - 64, Brother Branham said, "Working for
this one purpose; for you to recognize the Presence of Jesus Christ, See? If He is present then, why everything is settled. He made
the Word, He's here to confirm it." And then he
said in the same message, "If we could realize He is Appearing
to us in these meetings for one purpose and that's to release our desires that
we have in Him to us. But we've got to recognize His presence.
En 1909, Scofield escribió en Su (Edición de
La Biblia) que la palabra Parousia habla de La Personal Presencia de Cristo
(pg. 1212) . También cualquier lexicón griego le dará la misma definición. Wm. Branham
In 1909, Scofield wrote in His [Bible edition]
that the
Word Parousia speaks of Christ's'
Personal Presence. (see page 1212). Also, any [Greek Lexicon] will give you the same
definition. Brother
Branham used the word "Presence" himself quite
often in referring to this great Appearing of Christ in
this last hour. But as always, there are some who would
throw off and say, "His Presence" is only some doctrine. But I say, It should not be looked upon as merely a doctrine as it
is dealing with the very Person of
Christ Himself. It should be referred to as a doctrine only in the same way we would say that
"JESUS" is "The
Doctrine". You can not say that Jesus is only a doctrine, anymore than you
could say "His Presence" is only a doctrine?
The fact is, God HIMSELF has come down in this last hour in a very
special way in which
He has not been here for 2,000 years. Br. Branham said in [C.O.D.] pg.
102, "Just think, the very Lord Jesus that was back in the days of the
Apostles is right here now. And It's just winding up
the end of the Gentiles. A great move is going on amongst the Supernatural
believers because we believe that God is Here."
De hecho, Dios Mismo ha descendido en estas
últimas horas de una manera muy especial,
You might ask, "How was He here in the days of the Apostles?" People tend to misunderstand Brother Branham in this area
the most. Their thoughts go back
immediately to Jesus in
His flesh walking the
shores of
Ud. se preguntará.
La gente tiende a misinterpretar al
Hno. Branham en esta area principalmente. Sus
pensamientos se van inmediatamente a Jesús en la carne caminando la costa de Galiléa, no a EL que Pablo enfrentó en ruta hacia Damasco. Si, Pablo se
enfrentó con El Mismo que caminó por Galiléa, El Mismo pero en una forma diferente. Pablo se enfrentó con El en la
forma
Ahora
recuerde, el Hermano Branham no dijo “ en los días en
que Jesús caminó en la carne sobre la tierra”. Pero dijo, “En
los días de Los Apóstoles”. La gente tiene la tendencia a leer La
Palabra con una mente ya hecha de acuerdo a lo que han
aprendido anteriormente. El Hno. no está diciendo que
Jesús está aquí en su cuerpo carnal. De
hecho en su mensaje(El Mensaje De Gracia)pg. 30, nos
dice, “Hay sólo una diferencia en El que está aquí esta mañana y El que estuvo entre la gente
Galilea, y eso sería su propio cuerpo carnal.
" Now remember, brother Branham did not
say "in the days when Jesus walked upon earth in His flesh." But he said, " in the days of the
Apostles." People have a
tendency to read the Word with their minds already made
up by
previous learning. Brother Branham is not saying that Jesus is here in His Corporal
body. In fact from [THE MESSAGE of
GRACE] PG. 30 Brother
Branham said,
"There's only one thing different in Him being here this morning
than He was amongst the people at
In fact he said in, [SPIRITUAL
FOOD IN DUE SEASON] pp. 167 " Now,
if He Appeared here as a physical body, looked just exactly like Hoffman's head
of Christ at 33, and blood running out his hand, and so forth, nail scars all
over Him, I wouldn't accept it." He goes on to say, "we don't believe these cults and clans. We believe God is
the Word."
Nos dice también en ( Alimento Espiritual En Su Debido Tiempo ) pg.167 .
“ Ahora si El apareciera aquí en su cuerpo
físico, su rostro sería
From the message entitled [THE TRIAL]
He continued, "
The Life of Christ returns in the form of the Holy Ghost, not a nail
scar. The corporal Body's sitting at the right hand of God to make
intercession. But the Holy Ghost has come to carry on His Work." Brother
Branham even quoted people who were looking for Jesus to come in
bodily form and said, " 'I
thought He was a man, has scarred hands; that they claim is Appearing in
meetings now, with nail scars in His hands and His head.' No, No, not that
Body, not in that body. See? He's now a light ... He was the Angel that led the
children of
William
Branham was neither Oneness, nor was he
Trinitarian. He used the
phrase quite often, "God changing His mask."
In Our
opening statement to this study, I quoted from [1 John 1:1-3]. The very Source of Life that John spoke of is
the very Presence of
God Himself, and He is here. Notice what John was trying to tell the people
of his hour. "That Eternal Life that was with the Father and was
manifested unto us. " The very Life of God had come down and had literally manifested
Himself to the people. GOD Declaring Himself.
William Branham no fué Unitario (Sólo Jesús)
And how did He do it? Through a body ( a mask,
a veil
) called Jesus. This is exactly what Jesus was
telling Philip in [John 14] when He said, "He that has seen me has
seen the Father," then He said, "Believe me that I am in the Father, and
the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the very works ( vindication)
sake."
Y
Again in [1 John 1:3] "That which we have seen and heard, declare we
unto you, that you may have fellowship with us." John tells
us that the only way we can have true fellowship is to receive the declaration of
God's Presence and the manifested
Life (through vindication) which has come down into our midst
De nuevo en (1 Juan 1:3)” lo que hemos visto
y oído, eso os anunciamos, para que también vosotros tengáis comunión con nosotros; y nuestra communión es con El Padre y su
Hijo Jesucristo”. Juan nos dice que el
único modo de tener verdadera comunión y compañerísmo es recibir la declaración de La Presencia de Dios y la Vida
Manifestada (a travéz de vindicación) que ha descendido en nuestro medio (entre
nosotros). La Presencia Personal de Dios entre su gente. Yo creo que la gente
se pierden esto y la razón, yo creo,
tiene que ver con las expectativas que ellos tienen. Porqué la gente se perdió de reconocer al Mesías en su primera venida?. Ellos no lo esperaban de la manera que El vino. Y hoy en día, no muchos discutirían la idéa de que Dios está
presente, pero Cuando Ud. les dice que El está aquí de una manera diferente a como estuvo
durante las edades de la Iglesia, ellos habitualmente retrocederán a sus teologías pasadas que dicen,” El siempre
ha estado aquí ” .Pero , como vemos
en (1 Juan 1:1-3), La Fuente de Vida ha retornado a la tierra del mismo modo
que EL
Estuvo Presente en
La Primera Edad
de la Iglesia.
God's very personal Presence among His people. I believe the reason people miss this, has to do with
expectations. Why did the people miss Messiah at His first coming? They didn't expect
Him to come the way He did. And today, not
many people will argue and say God is not here, but when you tell them
He is here in a different way than He has been through the Church ages, they
will habitually fall back to their past theology that says,
"He's always been here." But, as we see in [1 John 1:1-3], The Fountain of Life Himself has once
again returned to earth in the same way
He was Present in the first Church Age.
From [I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVETH]
De (Yo Sé Que Mi
Redentor Vive)
Notice here, brother Branham is telling us that it takes the new birth to be
able to recognize His Presence. People have a difficult time being able to separate the Baptism of
the Spirit from the Baptizer Himself. [Ephesians 1:13-14] speaks
of the Baptism that is needed to prepare
us to receive the very Presence of God
which Paul speaks of as the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of
Him in Vs [15-17].
Note aquí, el Hno. Branham nos dice que toma
El Nacer De Nuevo para ser capáz de reconocer Su
Presencia. La gente tiene gran dificultad para separar el Bautismo del
Espíritud de El Bautizador Mismo.(Efesios
One of the greatest Keys to understanding our day and it's Message
was introduced in the [Seven
Church Age Book]. That
key is Alpha has become
Omega. Let me use an illustration from
the scripture as we will read
from [John 1]. Now this let's us know that His Presence among us is more than mere
Doctrine, for it says, " In Him was Life and the Life was the light of
men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
Una de las grandes claves
para entender nuestros días y el Mensaje para estos días fué introducido en el (Libro de las Siete
Edades de la Iglesia). La clave es que Alfa ha llegado a ser Omega.
There was a man sent from God who's name was <Wm. Branham>. The same came for a
witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men
through him might believe. ( The Angel told him,
"If you can only get the people to believe you".) He was not that
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the
World was made by Him, and the World knew Him not.
Hubo un hombre
enviado de Dios, y su nombre es William Branham. El vino por testimonio, para que diese
testimonio de la Luz, a fín que todos creyesen por él (El Angel le dijo “Si sólo lograras que la gente te créa”). No era él La Luz, sino para que diese testimonio de La Luz. Aquella Luz Verdadera , que alumbra a todo hombre, venía a este mundo.
En el mundo estaba, y el mundo por El fué hecho; pero el mundo no lo conoció.(No nos dijo
el Hno. Branham que el Logos (Verbo) provino de Dios
" ( Didn't brother Branham teach us that the Logos that
went forth from God as a Light created the world?) And this is the
condemnation, That Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than That Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be
reproved. But he, that doeth Truth, cometh to the Light, (
submits his own thinking to the Light) That his deeds may be manifested,
that they are wrought ( have there source ) in God."
From the [Seven Church Ages] brother Branham said, "On the Isle of
Patmos, Jesus spoke to John by vision and said, I am
Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and the End.
Tomando de (Las Siete
Edades de La Iglesia) el Hno. dice,”En la isla
de
He never said anything in between. I am
Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last! That's it! The First ministry and the
last ministry is the same. The First Message and the last Message is the same
thing." Then what
was the first message? For if we knew what the
first message was, we will then
know what the last message is to be. People have
been debating this question for over
2,000 years.
Cuál fué el Mensaje de la Primera Edad?.
What was the message to the first
age? Again from the CA book we read, "Paul was the first Messenger.
Remember, Paul come at the end of the Age. All Messengers come at the end of
the Age." So the question then
remains, "What was Paul's Message?
To find the answer
let's turn to Paul's' own testimony in the book of
Acts. Here he tells us that the Pillar of Fire came to him and he heard
the Voice of
Jesus which spoke and said, "I have Appeared unto thee for this Purpose,
to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast
seen, ( The Pillar of Fire returning to earth) and those things in which I will
Appear unto thee." [See Acts chapter 26]
We see then, the Message of Paul
was the declaration that Jesus
Christ not only had risen from the dead,
but that the Spirit of God that had been in Him, had returned back again as
the Pillar of Fire. Brother Branham
said, " How many know that Jesus today, is the
Pillar of Fire that followed the children of
Vemos entonces, el Mensaje de Pablo fué la
declaración que Jesús
no solamente se levantó de entre los muertos, pero que el Espíritud de Dios que
habitó en El, ha retornado nuevamente en la forma del Pilar de Fuego, el
Hermano Branham dice,”Cuantos conocen que Jesús de hoy en día fué el Pilar de Fuego,
El que siguió a los hijos de Israel?. Yo vengo de Dios, Yo vuelvo a Dios. Fué lo que El dijo. Cuando Pablo se lo encontró en el camino
a Damasco, qué es lo que El fué?. La Gran Luz!, el Pilar de Fuego. El Es El Mismo hoy en día ! El Espíritud Santo de Dios!.
El Cuerpo de Jesús sentado a la diestra de Dios en su trono en el Cielo, pero
Su Espíritud está aquí en la tierra complementando y terminando Su Obra. El Mismo Espíritud de Ese Angel que vivía en El Cuerpo de Nuestro
Señor Jesucristo, El Mismo Espíritud que estaba en El Angel que vino en el
tiempo de Sodoma y Gomorra. Lo cree Ud.?. El Mismo que acompañó a los hijos de
Is that what He said? When Paul
met Him on the road to
.
That same Spirit that was in
that Angel that lived in the Body of Jesus Christ was the same Spirit that was in the Angel that come to
Again in [THE UNITING TIME AND SIGN] pp. 97 he said, "
Never before since the early church Age was the Pillar of Fire ever
among the people. Never since the early church Age, did they ever see the
things that we are seeing today. And this was only made possible when God sent
the seven Seals and give us a sign by it and sent Seven Angels down out of
Heaven and come to bring back that scattered Word in them denominations and tie
it back into the Word again, to bring down His Holy Spirit."
De nuevo en ( Uniendo
Tiempo y Signo ) pg.97 el hermano nos dice,” Nunca antes desde la temprana edad
de la Iglesia ha estado el Pilar de Fuego entre la gente. Nunca desde esa edad,
se han visto las cosas que estamos viendo hoy. Y esto
es posible solamente cuando Dios envía Los Siete Sellos y nos dá una señal a travéz y envía Siete Angeles desde los cielos y nos trae de vuelta esa Palabra dispersada
por las denominaciones y la amarra a la Palabra de nuevo , para enviar aquí
abajo Su Espíritud Santo”. .
Now, these statements surely must cause us to ask some questions. For instance, why
would brother Branham say, "To bring down His Holy Spirit"? if the Holy Spirit has always been here throughout the Seven Church Ages? Again, why
would brother Branham say " My ministry is to
declare Him, that He is here." if He, (God's Presence), has been
here all along? In fact brother Branham also
said, "After almost 2,000 years He has visited us again." Why would he say such a thing unless He hasn't been here for
the past
2,000 years in the same way that He is here now?
Ahora , estas
afirmaciones no hacen preguntarnos, por ejemplo, porqué El dice,”para enviar aquí abajo Su Espíritud Santo”?, si El Espíritud
Santo siempre ha estado aquí a travéz
de todas Las Edades de la Iglesia?.Y de nuevo preguntarnos, porqué el diría:”Mi Ministerio es Declararlo a El, que El Está Aquí ”, si La Presencia de Dios ha estado continuamente aquí?. De hecho también dijo, “Después de dos mil años El nos visita nuevamente.” Porqué diría todo esto
sino porque El no ha estado presente por ya dos mil años, de la manera que El Está
Presente Aquí En Estos Días.”
Now if you are looking at the Message with the Glare of another age,
you will say that he was talking about the Jesus of
2,000 years ago and your mind
will picture the Body with nail scarred
hands. But, if you have correctly
believed brother Branham when he told us to not look back, and to not look
forward but to see what
God is doing right now, then all
of these message titles point
to one thing. He's here, Alpha has become Omega.
Ahora si estamos mirando el Mensaje del
hermano Branham con reflejos de otra edad, Ud. pensará que él nos habla de Jesús de dos mil años atrás y su mente verá al Jesús con llagas en sus manos. Pero si Ud. ha entendido y creído
correctamente al hermano Branham cuando nos dice que no miremos hacia atrás
The One Who Appeared to Paul in the first
age has come back again in this last age to wind up His work. From [The Message
of Grace]pg. 30 he said, " There's only one thing
different in Him being here this morning than He was amongst the people at
In fact brother Branham said, in [Just One More time Lord]"Man is
always thinking back on what God did, and looking forward to what God will do,
but ignoring what God is doing." And he also said in his audio letter to
brother Vayle, " If they only see it in the hour
past there's no hope for the church.
De hecho el Hno. Branham dijo, en (Una Véz Más
Señor)”El hombre siempre piensa en el pasado, en lo que Dios ya hizo, o mirando
hacia adelante en lo que Dios hará,
pero ignora lo que Dios está
realizando en el presente.”Y el también le dijo en
una audio-carta al hermano Vayle,”si ellos solo lo ven en el pasado no habría esperanza para la iglesia. La iglesia tendría que verlo en
el tiempo presente .
The church must see it in the present tense. So God
sends his prophet to manifest present tense of it." And He also said
from His Message [False Anointed Ones] He said, "I AM sent me." I AM,
not I was, or will be, I AM, present tense, the Word now. Not the Word that was
or Word that will come, the Word that's now.... and then he said, "For it
is impossible for those which were once enlightened and didn't move on with the
Word as it come to pass... They're dead,"
Por eso es muy importante, el aclaró,
entender el Principio Alfa y Omega , el Hno. Branham
nos dice, fué el primer principio que aprendió
Entonces, si podemos ver que lo que Dios
hizo en la Primera Edad bajo el Ministerio del Pilar de Fuego del Apóstol
Pablo, y como fué hecho, entonces podríamos ver que lo que Dios ha
manifestado bajo este mismo Ministerio del Pilar de Fuego, de William Branham,
en estas últimas horas, y que es lo que Dios continua haciendo después que el Hermano salió de la escena.
This is why it is so important to
understand the Alpha and Omega principle that brother Branham laid out for us.
He said this was the very first principle he learned as a Christian. What God
did in the first age He is obligated to do in this last age. Then, if we can
look at what God did in the first age under the Pillar of Fire ministry of
Paul, and how He did it, we then will see what He has done under the same
Pillar of Fire ministry of William Branham in this last hour, and what He is
continuing to do after brother Branham went off the seen.
Remember he taught us that there were Three Exoduses and all three were
under the Pillar of Fire and leadership of a Vindicated Prophet. Moses, Paul and Wm. Branham. And as you can see the people
have missed the whole purpose of this last time Exodus. Wm. Branham was
concerned for the people because they were not recognizing what God was doing
in their midst, but they were looking forward to the Second Coming and
backwards at a Pentecostal glare of another age and they were failing to see
the very Presence of God in their midst, as we have already explained.
Recuerde que el nos enseñó que hay Tres
Exodos y los tres son bajo el Pilar de Fuego y el liderazgo de un Profeta
Vindicado. Moises, Pablo y Wm. Branham. Y
If your memory serves you right
you will remember that when brother Branham was caught up beyond the curtain of
time he was told that He and His message would be judged. And He asked the
question, "Will Paul and His Message be judged?" And the angel
answered, yes. Then brother Branham said, " I only preached what Paul
preached," and all those people who were looking on said, "we're
counting on that brother Branham." Now as Paul said in [Gal 1: 8] " if we or an angel ( a messenger ) from heaven preach
any other Gospel than that which has already been preached, let him be
accursed."
Si su memoria no le falla,
Ud. se acordará que
cuando el Hermano Branham fué
llevado más allá de la cortina
Then brother Branham's Message to
us in this hour had to be the same Exodus Message. In fact in [2 Thes 1: 10]
Paul tells us there is coming a day when Christ will come in a way in which He
will be glorified in his saints, because he says, His (Paul's) Gospel will be
believed in that day. So here we see that day and that Message is Wm. Branham's
Message today.
Entonces el Mensaje del
hermano Branham para nosotros en esta hora tendrá que ser mismo Mensaje-Exodo. De hecho en (2 Ts.1:10)
Pablo nos dice que viene un día cuando Cristo vendrá de una manera tál que El será Glorificado en sus santos, porqué , él
dice Su Evangelio (predicado por Pablo) será creído en ese día. Así que
aquí vemos que ese día y ese Mensaje es
EL MENSAJE DE
WILLIAM BRANHAM DE
ESTOS DIAS.
Now in following up with this thought on Alpha and Omega we read in [Luke
chptr 4] concerning the beginning of Jesus Own Ministry in the first age,
" And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him
for a season and Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee.
Continuando en nuestros pensamientos sobre
Alfa y Omega leemos en (Lucas capitulo 4 )
concerniente al comienzo del propio Ministerio de Jesús en la primera edad, ”Y
cuando el diablo hubo acabado toda tentación, se apartó de El por un tiempo y Jesús volvió en el poder
del Espíritud a Galilea, y se difundió su fama por toda la tierra de alrededor.
Y enseñaba en las sinagogas de ellos, y era glorificado por
todos. Vino a Nazaret, donde se había criado; y en el día de reposo
entró en la sinagoga , conforme a su costumbre, y se
levantó a leer.
Y se le dió el libro del profeta Isaías;
habiendo abierto el libro, halló el lugar donde estaba
escrito,”El Espíritud del Señor está
sobre mí, por cuanto me ha ungido para dar buenas nuevas a los pobres; Me ha
enviado a sanar a los quebrantados de corazón; A pregonar libertad a los
cautivos, y vista a los ciegos; A poner en libertad a los oprimidos; A predicar
el año agradable del Señor.”
Después de leer
esto, la Escritura nos dice ,”Y enrollando el libro,
lo dió al ministro , y se sentó; y los ojos de todos estaban fijos en El. Y
comenzó a decirles: “Hoy se ha cumplido esta Escritura delante de vosotros.”
And there went out a fame of Him
through all the region round about. And He taught in
their synagogues, being glorified of all. And He came to
Now
you will notice, at this point scripture tells
us he closed the book and handed it back
and said, "This day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.
Notice, Jesus never continued reading where
the Scripture continued. It read, "To proclaim the acceptable year
of our Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God." Notice how the first
part of this sentence pertained to His first coming but
the second pertains only to His
second coming and therefore He could not possibly have read
it. He paused and said, "This day this Scripture is fulfilled in your
ears." 2,000
years separated by a comma.
Note que Jesús no siguio leyendo donde la escritura continua después de :”A predicar el año agradable al
Señor,”...”y el día de la venganza del Señor (Isaías 61:1-2 ). Note
In referring to Christ's presence
here among us brother Branham said, "I've read the Scripture with a dozen or
more evidences that we're living in the last days, the generation that will see
Jesus return to earth, and I say to you tonight, 'This day this Scripture is
fulfilled in your sight.
Refiríendose nuevamente a la Presencia de
Cristo entre nosotros, el hermano Branham dice,”Yo he leído las Escrituras, hay
una docena o más evidencias que estamos viviendo en los últimos
días, la generación que verá a
Cristo retornar a la tierra, y Yo digo en esta noche, ”Este día esta Escritura
se há cumplido”.
" Again we hear brother Branham saying in
another Message, " The Appearing of Christ and then the coming. That's two
different things altogether, the Appearing and the Coming. He's Appearing now,
working with us in the form of the Holy Spirit, making it just perfect; the
church. It has to." And so, we must ask ourselves, if God has come in what
brother Branham and Scripture calls an Appearing, in what way is it perfecting
the church as He says here. And of Course we find in Scripture that the Word of
God perfects the church or Bride. So it is in the form of the Word that
perfection comes. And when that which is perfect comes, then
that which is part must cease. And brother Branham in quoting this in
the COD book, he said, "When that which is perfect is come ... and we have
today by God's help the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine
vindication."
Nuevamente
oímos al hermano
Branham decir en
otro Mensaje, ”El Aparecer de
Cristo y entonces Su Venida. Son definitivamente dos
diferentes hechos, El Aparecer y La
Venida. El Está Apareciendo
ahora, trabajando con
nosotros en La Forma del Espíritud Santo, completando
en Perfección a
La Iglesia. ” El
tendría que hacerlo ”. Nos preguntaríamos entonces, si
Dios , como el hermano
y la Escritura lo dicen, Ha Aparecido y está Presente ,
llamado “Aparecer”, de que manera estaría El
Perfeccionando la Iglesia como se dice aquí? Por
supuesto encontramos en La Escritura
que La Palabra de Dios
Perfecciona a La Iglesia Novia De
ahí sabemos que La
Perfección viene en la
Forma de La Palabra. Y que
cuando eso que Es Perfecto Viene, lo que es
en parte debe
cesar. Y el
Hno. Branham en el
libro (COD) dice, ”Cuando Lo
Perfecto llega, y
hoy en día tenemos con la ayuda de Dios
la Perfecta Interpretación de La Palabra
con Vindicación Divina.
Entonces más
adelante en la misma serie de preguntas
, leémos, cuando Lo
Perfecto es dado ha conocer. El hace énfasis diciendo
:“Habría algo más perfecto
que Dios? ”Y continúa,
y la Palabra es aún Dios.
”Asi que podemos ver nuevamente que su enfoque fué lograr que la gente vea que Dios ha venido a nuestro medio en la forma de La Palabra. Y por esto nos dice, no mire hacia atrás, no
mire hacia adelante, pero Mire Lo Que Dios Está Haciendo Ahora.
Then later in the same series of
questions he said, " when that which is perfect
is made known." And then he said, "Now is there anything perfect but
God? And then he said, "And the Word's still God. "
So we can see once again His focus was to get the people to see God in the form
of the Word in our midst has come. And that is why he said, don't look back and
don't look forward but look to what God is doing now.
Now we know that we can not worship God apart from Revelation. But what if our revelation is a wrong revelation. In [Romans
12] we are told that we receive our transformation by the renewing of our
minds. So we can see we are dependent upon a Word to give us a change of the
body. That is what [1 Thes
Sabemos que no podemos
adorar a Dios sin revelación. Pero que pasaría si nuestra revelación es
una revelación falsa .In (Romanos12) se nos dice que recibimos nuestra
transformación al renovar nuestras mentes. Entonces podemos ver que estamos
dependíendo en la Palabra que nos dará un nuevo cuerpo.
Esto es todo lo que (1Ts.15-17) nos está anunciando
[señalando]. Que El Señor Mísmo desciende con Voz de Mando, que Es Este
Mensaje para prepararnos
para el Rapto. El hermano Branham dice, ”Cuando
la Palabra se vá apilando, Palabra sobre Palabra sobre Palabra, esa Palabra
tomará posesión de cada una de las fibras de nuestro cuerpo.”
But what if our
minds are renewed by a wrong understanding. By a
corruptible word rather than an incorruptible one. Then won't our change
also be corruptible? That is why it is essential to have a word come forth that
is vindicated by God to be incorruptible. [1 Peter 1: 23] tells us "being
are born again not of a corruptible seed, but by an incorruptible, by the Word
of God which lives and abides forever." So we see here a person can be
born again of a corruptible seed. And we know that [Mark 4 & Luke 8] tells
us that the word is a seed which the sewer sewed.
Podría suceder que nuestra mente sea renovada
por un conocimiento erróneo. Por una palabra
corruptible en véz de una incorruptible.Y no sería este un cambio corruptible?. Por esto que es esencial tener esta Palabra que viene
vindicada por Dios
But we are told two sewers went
forth sewing seed or Word. The Son of Man and the Devil.
So then One sewed perfect Word Seed and the other
corruptible word seed. And this word corruptible comes from a Greek word
Phthartos whose root word is phtheiro which means something that is liable to
decay or perish being death - doomed and refers to the "withdrawal of Life".
Y sabemos que ( Marcos
4 y Lucas 8 ) nos dicen que La Palabra es una semilla que el sembrador sembró.
Pero también nos dicen que dos sembradores salieron a sembrar, El Hijo del
Hombre y satanás.
He aquí, uno sembraba La Perfecta Palabra Semilla y el
otro sembraba palabra semilla corruptible. Y esta palabra ”corruptible”
viene
Without the Shout there will be no change of the mind which then there
could be no change of the body which then there could be no resurrection of the
dead nor could there be a catching away. So the Shout
starts the whole thing in motion. And Jesus said, "As a man thinks in His
heart so is He and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
So then if God Himself comes forth with a shout, this can only be a declaration
of Himself. And that is exactly how we are to receive our change. In [1 John 3:
2] the scripture tells us, " Beloved, now we are the sons of God, but it
does not Appear what we shall be, but we know that when He Appears ( At His
Appearing) We shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He really is. " So
we see here that we receive our change by seeing Him as He really is.
Sin La Voz De Mandato no habría cambio de la
mente y por esto no habría cambio
In fact in Col 3: 4 we read, " When Christ who is our Life shall Appears, then shall
we Appear with Him in Glory. " So we see again that it takes His Appearing
to bring out of us who we really are. This Appearing then is instrumental to
our change. Seeing Him changes us. Earlier we quoted Br. Branham telling us
when that which is perfect comes and he told us He has come. It is God in the
form of the Word.
De hecho en ( Col.
3:4 ) leémos, “Cuando Cristo, vuestra vida se manifieste, entonces vosotros también
seréis manifestados con El en Gloria.” Aquí vemos de nuevo que tomaría ”Su Aparecer” para manifestar en nosotros lo que
realmente somos. Este “Su Aparecer” sería instrumento
principal para nuestra transformación. Viéndole a
El nos cambia. Anteriormente el Hno. Branham nos dice cuando lo que es perfecto venga...y el
nos dijo que El ya Está Aquí. Es Dios en la forma de La
Palabra.
Now in [1 Cor
Ahora en ( 1
Co.13:12 ) leémos “Ahora vemos por espejo, obscuramente; más entonces veremos
cara a cara .Ahora conozco en parte; pero entonces conoceré
So we see that the Word is what brings about our change and if we are to
receive a change that is incorruptible it must come by a Word which also is
incorruptible. That is why it is so important for God Himself to come down. Br.
Branham told us that Christ Himself is our Elijah of today. He said, Christ is the Messenger to this Age. And as we know he speaks
to us through the lips of His Prophets. So God comes down with a Shout which is
a Message which is a declaration of Himself. As He is
He speaks. And we are caught up into the Revelation of Himself and this brings
about our change.
Entonces vemos que es La Palabra lo que produce
nuestro cambio y si tendremos que recibir un cambio que es incorruptible,
tendrá que ser a travéz de una Palabra que es incorruptible. Por esto es tan
importante que Dios Mísmo tenga que descender. El Hno. Branham declara que Cristo
Mismo es nuestro Elías de esta hora.
El dice “ Cristo Mismo es el Mensajero para
esta Edad.” Y
In [Ephesians 1: 17] Paul tells us that God will send forth the Spirit of
wisdom and Revelation in the Knowledge of Him, that we might know what the hope
or earnest expectation of this calling from God is. Br. Branham defines this
for us in the Series, [Seventy Weeks of Daniel] pg. 15 ,
" The Spirit of Wisdom comes into the church by the Revelation of the Holy
Ghost bringing the church in and revealing what day that we are living in. Just
the same as Gabriel come to Daniel, the Holy Spirit comes to the church in the
last days to reveal these deep great secret things. Do you understand now?"
En ( Ef.1:17 ) Pablo
dice que Dios enviará EL Espíritud de Sabiduría y de Revelación en el
Conocimiento de El, alumbrando los ojos de vuestro entendimiento, para que
sepaís cuál es la esperanza a que El os ha llamado. El Hno. define
esto en la serie, ( Las Setenta Semanas de Daniel ) pg. 15, “El Espíritud de
Sabiduría viene a la Iglesia por La Revelación del Espíritud Santo, acercando a
la Iglesia y revelándole cuales son los
días en que estamos viviéndo. Igualmente
In [1 Corinthian 1: 4 - 10] we see that Christ sends us a special
dispensation of Grace also spoken of in [1: Peter
En (1 Co.1:4-10 )
vémos que Cristo nos envía una dispensación especial de Gracia que también es
mencionada en ( 1 Pedro
So we see the essentially of Christ among us in the form of the Holy
Ghost bringing forth His Word to quicken us and change our mortal bodies to
immortal. We also find that the Word will bring forth a righteous Bride for a
Righteous God.
Entonces vémos que la esencialidad de Cristo
entre nosotros en la forma
And the Word righteousness comes
from an old English word, right - wise - ness. So then if we are a righteous
people it is because we are a rightly wise people, or a people with a correct
Word. Again, He said, " Who is perfect but God
and what is God but the Word, that's [John 1: 1]. And we see that It is by this same Word that we are to be changed and caught
up.
Nosotros
somos un pueblo de Sabiduría en Justicia y un pueblo
con Una Palabra Correcta (perfecta). De nuevo El dice ,”Y
quién es perfecto si no Dios y que es Dios si no La Palabra, esto es (Juan
1:1). Y vémos que por esta Misma Palabra seremos cambiados y
cogidos en el Rapto.
The emphasis is not on the baptism any more but the Baptizer, Himself.
Paul spoke in [Ephesians
El énfasis no es más en el bautismo pero es en El que bautiza, El
Bautizador Mismo. Pablo habló en ( Ef.1:15-17 )
acerca de El Espíritud de Sabiduría bajando a aquellos ya preparados por el
bautismo, en los versos ( 13-14 ). Viéndo que el Mensaje que
el Hno. nos trajo en estas horas nos lleva mas allá
I hope by now that you can see clearly by scripture and by God's vindicated prophet
that Christ is here now, in a way He hasn't been for nearly 2,000 years. The next few paragraphs will deal with 11
reasons why He
is here now.
1)
EHe is here to make ready a prepared people. [Luke
3 - 6, 17 - 21, 1 John 3: 1 - 3, 2 Cor
Yo espero que Ud. esté ya viendo con más
claridad a travéz de las escrituras y por el Profeta Vindicado por Dios que
Cristo está aquí ahora de una manera como no lo ha estado ya por dos mil años. Los parágrafos siguientes delinearán once razones porqué El está
aquí ahora.
1)
LEl está aquí
para perfeccionar a una gente ya preparada.
(Lucas
1:17; Ef.1:3-6, 17-21; 1 Juan 3:1-3; 2 Co.3:18; Col.3:4; 1 Co.1:4-10; 1 Pedro
1:10-13, 23
.
2) He is here to gather His Elect & claim His Inheritance [ Matthew
2) El
está aquí para reunir a sus elegidos y reclamar Su Herencia (
Matéo
3) He is here to save the righteous from perishing. [ 2 Thes: 1 & 2 ,
13 1 Peter 1: 5,9,10 end time Revelation bringing salvation. 2 Peter 2: 12 - 13
while they feast with you. 3: 9, 1 Thes 5:9, 2 Thes 2: 13Titus 2: 11, Hebrews
2: 1 - 4, Hebrews 9: 28, ]
3) El
está aquí para salvar de la muerte a los justos. ( 2
Ts.1, 2, 13; 1 Pedro 1:5, 9, 10 la Revelación
de los últimos tiempos nos tráe salvación. 2 Pedro 2:12-13, 3:9; 1 Ts. 5:9; 2
Ts.3:13; Tito 2:11; Hebreos 2:1-4,
.
4) He is here to save the Elect from deception. [Matt 24: 3 - 5, 11, 24,
Mark 13: 5-6, Eph 1: 17-18, & 4: 14, 2 Thes: 1: 7 - 12, & 2: 2-3, 10 -
12, 2 John 8 - 10, 1 John 2: 19 - 20, 28, Luke 21: 8, 2 Tim 3: 13, Rev 13: 4 -
10, 14 - 16, 19: 20, Matt 13: 1- 17 Mark 4: 11 - 12, Luke 8:10, 1 Tim 4: 1 - 2,
2 Tim 3: 1 - 9, 4: 3-4 & 8]
4) El
está aquí para salvar
5) He is here to seal in the wise Virgins. [Matt 25: 1-13, Ephesians 1:
13 - 18, & 4: 30, 1 peter 1: 3 - 7] ordained to pass the end time Faith
test (Faith is a Revelation, there's Only one Faith, Revelation, The Revelation
of Jesus Christ, These ordained to pass the test <Godhead etc.> but those
who fall away from THE Faith, THE Revelation of Jesus Christ are Reprobate
concerning THE Faith, The Revelation.
5) El
está aquí para Sellar a las Virgenes Sabias. ( Mt.25:1-13;
Ef.1:13-18, Ef.4:30; 1 Pedro 1:3-7 ) ordenados para pasar el tést de la Fé de
estos tiempos finales ( Fé es una Revelación, hay una sola Fé, una Revelación,
la Revelación de Jesucristo.) Estos ordenados ha pasar el tést ( La Divinidad Suprema, etc.) pero esos que se separan o
extravían alejándose de la Fé: La Revelación de Jesucristo, son reprobados
concerniendo a La Fé, a La Revelación.
6) He is here to separate the chaff from the wheat. [Matt: 3:11-12, 7:
15-23, 13: 24-30, 36-43, 47-49, 25:1-11, 2 Thes 1: 7 - 12 , 2: 3, 10 - 12, 1
Tim 4: 1, Hebrews 6, 1 John 2: 19 - 21, 28, 2 groups, Luke 17: 26 - 37, 2 Cor
4: 3-6, 11: 1-4, Gal 1: 6, 2 Tim 3: 1 - 9, 4: 3-4, 8 ]
6) El
está aquí para separar el forro de la
semilla.( Mt.3:11-12, 7:15-23, Mt. 13:24-30, 36-43, 47-49, Mt.25:1-11; 2

17:26-37; 2 Co.4:3-6, 11:1-4; Ga’1:6; 2 Ti. 3:1-9, Ti. 3:1-9, 4:3-4, 8 ).
7) He is here to raise the dead. [1 Thes 4: 15 - 18, 1 Cor 15: all
Ephesians 1: 17 - 23, Gal 2: 1, Acts 1: 9-11, Matt 27: 51-53, Col 3: 4, Deut

21, Rom 6: 5, Phil 3: 10-11, 2 Tim 2: 18, Rev 20: 5]
7) El
está aquí para levantar a los muertos. ( 1 Ts.4:15-18; all Co. 15; Ef.1:17-23;
Ga’ 2:1; Hch. 1:9-11; Matéo 27:51-53; Col. 3:4; Deut 30:3, Lc. 20:36 al ser hijos de la resurreción; Jn. 11:24-25;
Hch. 24:15-21; Ro. 6:5; Fil. 3:10-11; 2 Ti.2:18; Apocalipsis 20:5 ).
8) He is here to change the living. [1 Thes 4:15-18, I Cor 15: all, 2
John 3: 1 - 3, 2 Cor 3: 18, Roman 12: 1-2, Col 3: 4, 1 Cor 13: 9 - 12, 2 Thes

1: 4 - 10, Matt 24: 30 ]
8) El
está aquí para cambiar a los vivos.( 1 Ts. 4:15-18; todo 1 Co. 15 ; 2 Jn.

3:19-21, 1 Pedro 1:7-9, 13, 2 Pedro 1: 1-4 ; 10-12; 1 Co. 1:4-10; Matéo 24:30
).
9) He is here to put us in a rapture. [1 Thes 4:
15-18, ] See also transformation and change.
9) El
está aquí para ponernos en el Rapto.( 1 Ts.4:15-18 )
vea también tranformación y cambio.
10) He is here to Glorify His saints [2 Thes 1: 7, 10-12, 2: 14, 2 Cor 3:

this hope of Glory? 3: 4, 1 Thes 2: 12, 1 Tim 3: 16, Heb 1: 3, 2: 7,9,10, Jude
1: 24]
10)
El está aquí para Glorificar a Sus Santos. ( 2 Ts.1:7, 10-12, 2:14; 2 Co.

Esperanza de Gloria?, Col 3:4; 1 Ts.2:12; 1 Ti. 3:16; He. 1:3, 2:7, 9, 10; Jud.
1:24 ).
11) He is here to Judge the Living and the dead. (Investigating Judgment)
A Judge!
[ Rev 3: 14-21, James 5: 7-9, John 12: 48, Matt 3: 12, 7: 15-23, 13:
24-30, 36-43, 47-49, 25: 1-11, 2: Thes 1: 7-10]
11)
El está aquí para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos. Un Juez ( Un Juicio de Investigación).
( Ap. 3:14-21; Stg.5:7-9; Jn. 12:48; Matéo
3:12, 7:15-23, 13:24-30, 36-43, 47-49, 25:1-11;
2
Ts.1:7-10 ).
Now there are various other questions that have risen as a result of
certain people trying to teach this Message of Christ's Appearing without
really understanding it. As a result many fanatical doctrines have been superimposed
which have caused much distress among Message believers. The following
questions and answers should help to quell some of these questions that have
arisen as a result of wrong understanding.
Ahora hay muchas otras preguntas que se han
suscitado al tratar algunos
de enseñar este Mensaje del Aparecer de Cristo sin realmente
entenderlo
Las siguientes preguntas y respuestas ayudarán
a aclarar algunas de las dudas y entendimiento
erróneo.
[QUESTION]"
Some people have said that the second coming is
taking place right now. Is this true?
[ANSWER]"
Yes, but not per'se ! What is taking place now is the
Appearing which Br. Branham said "it's a sign of His Coming. Brother Branham said
in the Seven Seals, pg. 308, " He Comes
three times. Christ is in three."...He then states in the last
paragraph, "Watch Christ. First Coming, He Come a mortal
to bleed and die. Is that right? That's His first Coming. The second Coming is the
Rapture. We meet Him in the skies-Immortal. His third Coming - He's the Incarnate God. Amen! God Emmanuel to reign on earth. That's right. Only three.
( Pregunta ) Algunos dicen que la
Segunda Venida yá
está sucediendo. Es esto la verdad?.
( Respuesta ) Sí, en cierta forma ... lo que está sucediendo ahora es El Aparecer,
el cuál el Hno. Branham dice: “ es
una señal de Su Venida. El Hermano nos
dice en ( Los Siete Sellos ) pg. 308, “ El viene tres veces. Cristo siempre es en tres.” ...
El
viene
So, the
second Coming in itself must be as His first one was
and the third one will be and that is in His
Corporeality. In
other-words, He will come in a physical manifestation just as He
did His first coming. Notice the type in Gen 18: when
"Elohim" Appears" to Abraham. The sign
of discernment is performed. Then after the burning the promised son comes to earth.
Luke
Entonces, La Segunda Venida en si mísma será
Notice
at His First Coming, He comes to earth a
mortal. He is on earth when God descends like a dove from
heaven and incarnates Him on earth. God then
leaves Him in
Note que a Su Primera Venida, El viene a la
tierra
[QUESTION] You say, He must return in a physical form as He did the first time.
If this is true, what was Paul telling us in [ II COR 5:16 ] when he said, "Wherefore
henceforth know we no man after the
flesh: yea, though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him so no more."?
(Pregunta). Ud.
dice, El tendrá que volver en una forma física
[ANSWER] Remember the disciples on the road to
Emmaus? Also when Jesus appeared to Peter and the
Brethren who were fishing? What did these appearances have in common? The Bible
tells us they did not
recognize Jesus. But then He did
something that made Him
manifest in His true Character. He broke the bread a certain way.
Now today
He has
come and has broken the Bread of Life in His own
certain way. But many have missed Him because He did not come in their way but in His
own way.
(Respuesta). Recuerde a los Discípulos en
el camino a Emaús?.Y también cuando Jesús se aparece a
Pedro y Hermanos mientras pescaban?. Que lo que estas
apariciones tienen en común?. La Biblia nos dice ellos
no reconocieron a Jesús. Pero cuando El hizo algo
manifestando Su Verdadero Carácter, ellos lo reconocieron. El rompió el Pan de cierta manera,
etc.. Hoy en día El ha Aparecido para romper ese Pan
de Vida de su propio modo o manera única de El. Así nosotros también lo podemos
reconocer. Pero muchos se han perdido esto , al no
venir El de la manera que ellos han supuesto, al estar enredados en falsas
doctrinas. Y si El se ha Presentado, El lo ha hecho de Su
Propia Manera.
If you'll notice further down in
vs.[18-21], Paul is speaking of a relationship which does not exist by mere
acquaintance only, but rather
is a ministry imparted to us
which reconciles us back to Him. Now this ministry of reconciliation
is needed because we
have been separated from Him. The word Reconcile is from two words
"Re": a prefix meaning (anew or again), and the word
"Conciliate": which means to (assemble, unite,). This then is a Word ministry which will
unite or assemble us again. This Word of reconciliation then places us in
a position of Ambassadorship as we see in
Vs [ 20]
Si Ud. lo ha notado, más adelante los versos (18-21), Pablo no
nos está hablando de una mera
relación casual , pero más bién de
algo mayor que compañerísmo: de una Comunión, de un Ministerio impartido
a nosotros que nos reconcilia de nuevo a El. Y este Ministerio de
Reconciliación es requerido por que nosotros hemos estado separados de El. La
palabra reconciliación es formada de dos :-Re- prefijo que significa (de nuevo-otra véz), y la palabra
-Conciliate-, que significa ( unirse- asamblea ). Esta Reconciliación entonces
nos dá la
capacidad de embajadores, como vemos en el (verso 20).
Thus
as Ambassadors, we represent our Sovereign
while resident on foreign soil, thus separated from the one whom we represent.
Therefore, it is a Word of reconciliation because
the reconciliator Himself is not present. Thus by Word, we are brought
into a relationship
to our Sovereign. As we have at His first coming a reconciliation of man to God or (The
Word). God used Jesus (the complete manifestation of His Word) to bring man back to His
Word. Now He has
come as Word (Logos) to assemble or unite us to the
Complete manifestation of His Word namely Jesus. When Jesus was here in
flesh at His first coming, no man knew Him, or Who He
represented, by looking at His flesh.
Así, siendo embajadores, nosotros
representamos a nuestro Soberano mientras residimos en tierra extrangera, así
separados de quién representamos . Y
es por esto que es la Palabra Reconciliación, por que El Reconciliador no está
presente. Pero por la Palabra , somos llevados
a una Relación ” Presencia” con nuestro Soberano. Al tener
por Su Primera Venida una reconciliación entre el hombre y Dios (La Palabra).
Dios usa a Jesús (La Completa Manifestación de Su Palabra )
para llevar al hombre de regreso a Su Palabra . Y ahora El se hace Presente como La
Palabra ( Logos - Verbo ) para ensamblarnos, unirnos, a esta Completa Manifestación de La
Palabra, que llamamos Cristo - Jesús. Cuando estuvo aquí el la carne , a Su Primera
Venida, no hombre lo conoció o supo lo
que El representaba, al mirarlo en lo
físico.
Some Greeks
had heard that God was descended
and they went to meet Him, but when they saw only a man, they went away
discouraged. The Bible tells us that after
His resurrection, He appeared unto many. If you
will notice, on many occasions He was not identifiable in His flesh, It was
what He said that made them take note that
"This was the Christ". If they did not know Him after the flesh
then, how is it
that they will know Him by His flesh now. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he",
and "out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh". So we don't really know any man by his flesh but rather by what he says, for this is what bears witness
to what he is and what he
stands for. So we do not know, and will not
know Jesus after the flesh but by
a perfect Word description. After all He is the Word. In fact He is the
complete manifestation and the perfect interpretation of the Word.
Algunos griegos escuchando que Dios ha
descendido y quisieron acercarse a El, pero cuando ellos sólo vieron a un hombre , se retiraron desanimados . La Biblia dice que
después de Su Resurrección, El se apareció a muchos. Y si Ud.
nota , en muchas ocaciones El no fué identificable en
Su Carne, y fué lo que El dijo, lo que hizo que lo notaran, “Este Es El Cristo”. Si entonces nadie lo
conoció según la carne en ese tiempo,
[QUESTION] Are you then saying,
that unless we somehow are
given a clear description by word of Jesus that we wouldn't
really recognize Him if He was to make
Himself visible in flesh?
(Pregunta).Está Ud. diciendo
,que al menos se nos diera una clara descripción por La Palabra, de Jesús,
nosotros no podríamos reconocerlo aún si El se hiciera visible en la carne.
[ANSWER] Precisely. That is what the ministry of
His Appearing is all
about. God has
come down in form of Logos to
reveal or unveil Himself to us. In this ministry He, as the Spirit of
Truth, is to
lead us into all truth. He is The Spirit
of Wisdom and
Revelation that gives us The Knowledge of Him.
(Respuesta). Precisamente. Esta es la verdadera razón de este “Ministerio de Su Aparecer”. Dios
ha descendido en la forma de El Verbo ( Logos ) para
develarse o revelarse (Si Mísmo) a nosotros. En este
Ministerio, El, como El Espíritud de Verdad, nos guiaría hacia toda verdad. El es El Espíritud de Sabiduría y Revelación que nos dá el
conocimiento de El.
Without this ministry, we could not be caught away,
for we would not even be aware of the
day or season of the catching
away and thus would not be prepared for such a great event. We'd still be
holding onto our own ideas of what is to take place and we would surely
miss it. Let me use an illustration to bring out my point. Eliezer was sent to bring a bride home to a promised son Isaac.
Sin
este Ministerio, no podríamos ser rapturados, porque no tendríamos la noción Del Día no El
Tiempo de el Rapto y por lo tanto no nos
prepararíamos para este gran suceso. Aún estaríamos concentrados en nuestras
pequeñas idéas de lo que tendría que suceder y con seguridad nos quedaríamos
atrás. Permítanme traerles una ilustración para aclarar mi punto, por vista
Elieser fué enviado a traer una novia , al hogar del
hijo prometido, Isaac.
He met a woman
at the well who received him and his ministry. By word he proceeded to tell her of this
groom who had sent him to bring her home to
him. The more he spoke of this groom the more she longed to meet him. By
word then, she
received this promise and was caught away
to meet going to meet for when they arrived she lighted off
the camel and ran into
his awaiting arms. Now she was a virtuous woman
and a woman does
not keep her virtue long by running into the arms
of complete strangers. This then
would truly be out of character for her to do, had she not already known Him, before
she actually met him in flesh.
El se se encontró con una joven en la fuente
que lo recibió a él y a su ministerio. Por palabras él
procede a describir a ella éste novio que lo ha
enviado ha buscarla y llevarla a su hogar con él. Lo más que él le habla
[QUESTION] Are you then saying that the Appearing is an introduction to His coming. And without it we would still be wondering
How, when, where, by what etc.
(Pregunta). Está Ud. entonces
diciéndo que el Aparecer es una Introducción A Su Venida. Y sin Este Aparecer
estaríamos errantes y sin respuestas a cuándo?, cómo?,
dónde?, etc.
[ANSWER] Yes, you are very perceptive. The Appearing is that portion of time or season, an epochal season whereby we are ushered
into a transitory state, a rapture. It is the season where after coming out
of
(Respuesta)
Sí, Ud. es muy perceptivo. El Aparecer es esa porción
de tiempo o ocación, una época estacional en la cuál somos dirigidos dentro de un estado transitorio, un rapto.
Sería una época o ocación, después de salir
de Egipto, hablándo figurativamente, arribando a un
punto donde el “venir saliéndo” se transforma en un “empezar a entrar”. Salir de Egipto no fué suficiénte. Ahora
habrá que entrar a una nueva tierra. Tomó el Espíritud Santo en la forma
[QUESTION] Then, What you are saying is there is
a difference between the appearing and the coming.
(Pregunta). Entonces,
lo que Ud. está diciéndo es que hay diferencia
entre EL Aparecer y La Venida.
[ANSWER] Yes, Brother Branham said it in various places, for example in the Message [END
TIME EVANGELISM]" he said " Now, we have already seen
and are witnessing the appearing of the Lord. Now remember, appearing and coming are
two" different words, to appear and then" to come.
Now is the appearing, He's already appeared in these last few days. Right
here with us in the last few years. Now, it's a sign" of
His Coming." Notice that he cautions us to remember that
these are in fact two different words
and two different events.
(Respuesta). Sí, el Hermano Branham nos
dice repetidamente, por ejemplo en el Mensaje (El Evangelísmo En El Tiempo Del
Fín) 62-0603 “Ahora,ya hemos visto y estamos
testificando el Aparecer del Señor. Ahora recuerde, Aparecer
y Venida son dos diferentes palabras, Aparecer y después La Venida. Ahora es el Aparecer, El ya ha Aparecido en estos últimos días.
Aquí mismo con nosotros en estos años recientes. Ahora esto
es una Señal de Su Eminente Venida. Note que el Hermano nos advirtió que
recordáramos que estas
son dos palabras distintas que designan dos distintos sucesos.
He says that it is a sign of His Coming.
Remember the parable of the thief, if the good man had known what hour the thief was
coming he would not have suffered his
house to be broken into. This sign of the appearing is a sign given that an
epochal season is in process or in motion. But remember, it is a sign only, it is not
the event itself.
El Hno, Branham repite que esto es la señal de
Su Próxima Venida. Recuerda la parábola
( movimiento ). Pero recuerde que es un signo (señal)
solamente y no el suceso
final aún.
[QUESTION] Well, if our Lord Himself is here in the form of a Pillar of fire or shall we
say as Logos, What more could we
want. What more can the actual
body of a man add to us.
[Pregunta]. Bién, si Nuestro Señor Mísmo
está aquí en la forma
[ANSWER] First of all we have two questions here. Let's take the last
one first. You ask what more
could the Body of Jesus
add. Apparently you are
aware that we receive our
change under the Shout,
Voice and trumpet which are three
stages of the rapture. This is true. However the Seventh
seal goes plum into Eternity as a continual
unfolding or as Brother Branham
put it, Like a
Roman candle, one ball of fire
goes up and out of it comes another and another
and on it goes plum into Eternity.
[Respuesta]. Primero
que todo, tenemos dos preguntas aquí. Responderemos la
última primero. Ud. pregunta
que podría el cuerpo de un hombre [Jesús] agregar. Aparentemente Ud. está al tanto que recibimos nuestro cambio bajo La Voz de
Mandato, La Voz de Arcangel y Trompeta de Dios que son tres etapas de El Rapto.
Esto es la verdad. Pero,
Now also remember that we are
changed from Glory to Glory and thus the meeting in the air is a further Glory from
the Appearing and the wedding supper is a further glory
from the meeting in the air. The whole
thing is an adding Word upon Word upon Word or from Glory to Glory beginning with the Appearing and
swinging right into the Second Coming.
The Millennium is a Glory beyond the Wedding Supper and New Jerusalem is a further
Glory beyond the Millennium.
También recuerde que somos cambiados de
Gloria a Gloria y que el Encuentro En El Aire es una Mayor Gloria que El
Aparecer y La Cena de la Boda una Gloria aún mayor. Todo esta relacionado a
éste agregar Palabra sobre Palabra o de Gloria a Gloria que comienza con El
Aparecer y se mezclaría mas adelante con la Segunda Venida,
Now the first question which we chose to answer last is "If God inform of
Logos or Pillar of Fire is now on the
scene, what more could
I want". Remember, God was also on the scene in the days of Abraham and
Abraham still longed to see
his Promised Son.
The promise to Abraham
was not complete until the actual
physical arrival of His son, Isaac. We are still under the promise as we have
not actually crossed the
Ahora la primera pregunta que elegimos
responder al final es “Si Dios en la forma del Verbo [Logos) o forma
To say, "If I have His Logos,
what do I need the physical body for?"
shows a
lack of understanding concerning
the actual body of Jesus. This then is the real question, and must be answered
first in order for us to really appreciate this great revelation of what God is
doing in these last days. The
revelation of Godhead is one which is truly misunderstood.
Decir, “Si yo tengo Su Logos [Verbo], para
que yo necesitaría Su Cuerpo Físico?,”esto mostraría
una falta de entendimiento concerniendo el Cuerpo Real de Jesús. Esta es la verdadera pregunta, que tendría que ser respondida
primero, en orden para nosotros apreciar Esta Gran Revelación de lo que Dios
está haciendo en estos últimos tiempos. La Revelación de la “Divinidad
Suprema” es lo que es realmente malentendida.
No one wants to admit that they do
not understand the Godhead but the fact is that very few people really do. The whole of Christendom
is primarily a trinity believing people.
They are very wrong. On the other hand, the oneness people, though
few in number are closer yet still way out in left field. Where the trouble
seems to lay is
what to do with this Corporal body.
Nadie quiere admitir que no
entienden “La Deidad Suprema” pero de hecho pocos son los que la entienden.
La Cristiandad,
Trinitarians want to deify the body and make it a second person in the
Godhead while oneness want to eliminate
it all together and put it's importance
only in a historical sense (in other words since He
came from God and went back to
God they feel that the body is of
no further use or
importance in the economy of God. It is this lack of understanding which caused
the Jews to kill Jesus. The
answer to this understanding is in the Word of God. God being invisible
wanted to show His love for His children. As an in visible one He
knew that they would have trouble receiving His love.
Los Trinitarios quieren endiosar a el Cuerpo
y hacerlo La Segunda Persona de la Deidad, mientras Los Unitarios quieren eliminarlo totalmente y poner la
importancia solo en el Sentido Histórico, en otras palabras desde que El vino
de Dios y retornó a Dios, ellos estiman que que El Cuerpo ha cesado de tener un
propósito en la economía de Dios. Fué la falta de
entendimiento que causó que los judíos mataran a Jesús. Y este entendimiento solo vendría de la Palabra de Dios. Dios siendo invisible y queriéndo mostrar su amor por sus hijos.
Al ser un Dios invisible El sabía que tendríamos
problemas de recibir su amor.
He then, in
order to show forth His love, made a body in
which He might outwardly express His Love for His
Children. The invisible God thus became visible. In
other words, Jesus Christ is the full and complete interpretation of the
expressed thought of God. God
expressed. The outward
manifestation of God. Every characteristic, every attribute, every
thought that God ever had, He
formed into a sperm and egg and placed it in the womb of Mary.
El entonces, en orden de manifestar su amor,
hizo un cuerpo en el cuál El pudiera externamente
expresar este amor por sus hijos. Así el Dios invisible se
hizo visible. En otras palabras, Jesucristo es la
plena y perfecta interpretación de los pensamientos expresados de Dios.
La manifestación exteriorizada de Dios. Cada característica,
cada uno de Sus Atributos, todo pensamiento que haya pasado por Su Mente, El lo
formó de la esperma y óvulo (huevo) y lo puso en el vientre de María.
As this body begin
to grow it took on the full character
and complete fullness of what God
had in His thoughts to begin with. Therefore the Word which began as a thought one day
became flesh and God child
now make visible His expression of Love for His children. He now can receive our love in a
way which we could not love
Him as an invisible One. It gives a direction to channel our
love. A focal point. Then the body of Jesus being
man is more than just
man, it is God manifested or made visible. Thus the One
who created this body is gathering a bride to bring to this body and He thinks so much of this body, He will
incarnate it again at the meeting in the
air.
Así como este cuerpo empezó a crecer tomó el
carácter y completa estatura de lo que Dios tiene en Su Mente. Por esto La Palabra
que empezó como un pensamiento un día se hizo carne y
El Niño Dios empieza a hacer visible esta expresión de amor por Sus Hijos. Y sobre todo que así El puede recibir nuestro amor hacia El. Esto
nos dá una dirección para canalizar nuestro amor. Un
punto de foco. Entonces el cuerpo de Jesús siendo un
hombre, es mucho más que solo un hombre, es Dios Manifestado o hecho visible.
Así entonces El que creó este cuerpo está reuniéndo
una Novia para traerla a este Cuerpo, y El piensa y estima mucho este, Su
cuerpo. El, Dios, lo encarnará de nuevo al encuentro en el
aire.
[QUESTION] What you are saying
then, is that we have had our
thinking all wrong for many ages, so God had to
Appear on the scene once again to straighten out the mess we had
gotten ourselves into and to
bring us to a place where we could truly receive Jesus as our Head and
Husband.
[Pregunta]. Ud.
está diciéndo entonces, que es por que nosotros hemos tenido un concepto errado
en nuestros pensamientos, ya por muchas edades, Dios tendría que Aparecer en la
escena para enderezar esta confución en que nos hemos metido y traernos a un
lugar donde nosotros verdaderaménte podamos recibir a Jesús como nuestro Esposo
y Cabeza.
[ANSWER] My, how quick you learn.
Yes, Even at His firs coming He was looking for a Bride but the church was in
no condition to really be received as one. Paul reprimanded them in Galatians
for returning back to law so soon after they had come out from under it. It
took more than a prophet to return the hearts of the children to their first
love. It took the God Prophet Himself. He wanted our hearts and our minds. How
ironic in an age where women strive for personal freedom that He has come for a
Bride who has completely, willfully, and joyfully surrendered all of her rights
to Him. She has even come to a state of letting her thinking go. Perfect rest because of perfect trust.
[Respuesta]. Oh! que
rápido Ud. está aprendiendo. Sí, aún en Su Primera Venida El estaba buscando una
Novia, pero la iglesia no estaba en condición de ser recibida
Pablo los reprende en Gálatas por retornar a
La Ley tan pronto
” La Palabra”.
Tomaría El Dios - Profeta Mísmo. El quiere nuestros corazones y nuestras mentes. Ironicaménte
en esta edad de hoy, en que la mujer se afana por obtener mayor libertad, en
que El ha retornado por una Novia que ya completamente, por voluntad propia, y
alborozada ha rendido todos sus derechos hacia El. Ella ha llegado a un punto de dejar de lado sus propios pensamientos en favor
de una perfecta confianza en EL.
[QUESTION] My, what a beautiful picture! So what you are saying is that
He is here to ensure that she doesn't fall like the first Eve fell.
[Pregunta]. Oh !
, que bonita escena!. Resumiéndo lo
que Ud. dice, que El está aquí
para asegurarse que ella [La Novia] no caiga
como Eva cayó ?
[ANSWER] Correct! As she becomes more aware of His Presence she enters
more and more into a state of rest. She completely trusts Him to bring her into
a state of rest. She completely trusts Him to bring her in and fulfill every
promise that He has given to her. In the first Exodus, Moses commanded the
people to "Stand Still and see the salvation of
God." But they got antsy and wanted something in it to do themselves. Ruth, another type of the Bride was told by her
bridegroom Boaz, to "rest until the morning." And in this third
exodus we are told to be at rest also. Br. Branham said that there is
"relaxation under the seventh Seal." He said, we must "Let go and
let God.
[Respuesta]. Correcto! Al estar ella ahora más alerta de Su Presencia, la Iglesia {Novia)
entra más y más dentro de un estado de reposo. Ella, completamente confiándo en
El para ser llevada a este estado de descanso. Ella, con una completa confianza que EL la reunirá y cumplirá cada
una de Sus Promesas. En el Primer Exodo, Moisés ordenó
a la gente a permanecer inmovil y ver La Salvación de Dios. Pero ellos se pusieron ansiosos queriéndo hacer algo por si mísmos.
Rut un tipo de la Novia,le fué dicho por el novio
Booz,” descansar hasta la próxima mañana”. Y en éste Tercer
Exodo se nos manda a descanzar también. El Hno. Branham dice que hay “un
descanso bajo el Séptimo Sello”. El continúa ,”
descanse y deje a Dios hacer Su obra.”
[QUESTION] Then, what about winning souls to Christ and all these things
that have been so important to us all these years? Where does this fit in if we
are to be resting?
[ANSWER] Well, that's just the point. Jesus said I do nothing unless my
Father shows me first. How often have we tried to do God a service without it
being His will. Jesus told the Pharisees that they
would compass land and sea for one proselyte and the result would be someone
who was now twofold more a child of hell than he began. Br. Branham said,
"The Bride will have 'Thus saith the Lord or she will keep still."
She is to "lay in the presence of the Son to
ripen." So, if God is truly in it, we will definitely see results. Now
remember, results are not numbers. What were the results of Jesus' preaching to
the totally lost?
[Pregunta]. Entonces, que pasaría con el
trabajo de ganar
[Respuesta]. Bién, esto
es jústo nuestro objetivo. Jesús dijo Yo no hago nada sin que El Padre me muestre primero. Ahora , frecuenteménte tratamos de hacer un favor a Dios,
sin que séa Su Voluntad. Jesús le dijo los
Fariséos,” Ay de vosotros hipócritas! Por que recorreís mar y tierra para hacer
un prosélito, y una véz hecho, le haceís dos veces más hijo
[QUESTION] I'm beginning to understand more clearly now than ever before.
This last day Bride is not concerned with trying to work her way into favor
with God, she knows she is already in His favor, so she is resting in what He
has done for her and she ministers back to Him what He has shown her already as
Jesus did when He was here in flesh.
[Pregunta]. Yo ahora estoy entendiendo
más claramente que nunca. La Novia de los últimos días no está preocupada de
tratar con trabajos
ganar favores con Dios, Ella ya está bajo Sus Favores, así que
descanza en lo que El ha hecho por ella, y Ella retorna a El en ministerio como
El nos mostró cuando caminaba en la carne.
[ANSWER] Yes, she loves Him so much that she is only concerned with
pleasing Him. As any good wife will do, her first service is to her husband,. She's not interested in what her neighbors got going. She
then becomes in perfect image of Jesus Christ for that is exactly what He did
while here on earth in flesh.
[Respuesta]. Si, Ella
Lo Ama Tanto que su única intención es agradarle en todo.
[QUESTION] Oh, I see! And we must come into this same image of Him before
we can leave this world. Well, how does this come about? I mean, how does the
Holy Spirit Who is in our midst bring this to pass?
[Pregunta]. Oh, ya véo!.
Y nosotros tenemos que parecernos a Esta Misma Imagen
de El antes de dejar este mundo. Bién,
[ANSWER] Brother Branham said, "the right
mental attitude toward any Divine promise of God will bring it to pass."
This is not works. Remember, God must show it first, then
your attitude toward it will bring the result.
[Respuesta]
El Hermano Branham nos dice, “La correcta actitud mental hacia toda Promesa Divina la tráe ha
cumplimiento.” Esto no significa trabajos. Recuerde,
Dios deberá mostrarnos primero, entonces nuestra correcta actitud la traerá a
cumplimiento ( con un buen resultado ).
Just before the children of
Justo antes de
Israel entrar en la Tierra Prometida a ellos le fué
dado instrucciones de última hora. Ellos tendrían que reclamar cada pisada que
dieran, y todo lugar con las huellas de sus pasos, les fué dado. Haga un paralelo de esto con Abraham y notará que Dios le dió
primero la Revelación de La Tierra de la Promesa. El recibió La Promesa primero
y, después empezó a caminar hacia ella.
Every step that he took was an
outward show that He believed God. He thus received it from God and He offered
it back to God. The journey then was his offering or sacrifice to God. His
every step toward the land of promise then became a manifestation of the
promised word of the hour. In this hour too, the Bride becomes the
manifestation of her revelation, the Word becoming flesh. As she receives the
revelation of the rapture, or appearing, she is transformed by the renewing of
her mind. And thus becomes the fulfillment of [2 Cor
Y cada pisada que Abraham
daba era una evidencia que El creía a Dios. El así
recibía de Dios y lo ofrecía de vuelta a Dios. Su jornada
fué su ofrenda o sacrificio. Y cada paso hacia la tierra de la Promesa se
transformaba en la manifestación de La Palabra Prometida para Esa Hora. Y en
esta hora es lo mísmo, La Novia se hace la manifestación de Su Revelación [La
Revelación de la Novia]: La Palabra Haciéndose Carne. Así
From His
Message, 182 I HAVE HEARD BUT NOW I SEE 65-1127.2E, brother Branham said, " Now, He promised that He would do that same thing
again, just before the world would be burnt, and the world would be in a
De su Mensaje, [Yo He Escuchado Pero Ahora Véo] pg.182, 65-1127. 2E,
Nuestro Hermano dice,
Ahora, El ha prometido que hara lo mísmo nuevamente justo antes que est mundo se queme, y el mundo estaría en una condición
sodomita. El Nuevo Testamento, el Profeta, El Dios Profeta, El Profeta de
Profetas, El Dios De Todos Los Profetas, La Deidad Completa Manifestada En La
Carne, El Creador de Génesis. Halleluya!. ES SU PALABRA!.
He said it would
happen! And we see Sodom condition, we see the world in that condition, now we
see Him come down and do exactly what He said He would do. Now, we've heard of
Him, now we see Him! "I've heard of You with my
ears, now I see You with my eyes." Amen! "I see Him with my own
eyes." What a hour it should be! What a time it
should be! The confirmation of His Word! Always when the Word is confirmed,
that's God speaking in His Word, making Hisself visible that you can see.
El díjo
que esto sucedería!.
Y vémos esta condición sodomita, vémos que el mundo está
en esta condición, así
