And now let’s see other Scriptures that speak to us of these things.
In Revelation, chapter 10…
Remember that John the apostle, in the apocalyptic revelation represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and the messengers that Christ would send to His Church; there the apostles are represented, Saint Peter, Saint Paul and the other messengers that Christ would send to His Church are represented.
Therefore, when John hears the Voice of God, through whom does he hear it? Through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is through the Angel that the revelation of Jesus Christ comes. That is why John wanted to worship the Angel; and the Angel told him not to do so; John says that he wanted to worship the Angel that had showed him all these things.
And now, let’s see something else here.
In Revelation, chapter 10, we find that Christ, after He takes the Book of the Seven Seals, which is at the right hand of God, in Revelation, chapter 5; then in Revelation, chapter 6, He opens six Seals; and in Revelation, chapter 8, He opens the Seventh Seal. And then in Revelation, chapter 10, He comes with the little Book open in His hand.
This Mighty Angel that descends in Revelation, chapter 10, is Christ; and He comes with the little Book open in His hand, He comes with the Book of the Seven Seals open.
The Book of the Seven Seals is the Lamb’s Book of Life, it is the Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, it is the Title Deed of eternal life.
And now, Adam had this Title Deed; and now, since Adam sinned: It returned to the right hand of God. And Christ, the second Adam, takes it in Revelation, chapter 5. This hasn’t happened yet. Christ can’t rise from the Throne of the Father (where He is making intercession as High Priest with His own Blood, for each person who receives Him as their Savior) until the very last sheep enters, the last chosen one, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And then, when that Church is complete: Then Christ has finished His Work of Intercession as High Priest, He will rise from the Throne of the Father, will take the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, will open it in Heaven and will make His Reclaiming Work.
(…) It is the first occasion —prophesied here— that the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, will be delivered to a man who will eat it.
Adam had it, and didn’t eat it. Jesus Christ receives it, and doesn’t eat it; but He gives it to a man.
The most important Book in the Heavens! Of which no person was worthy to take that Book and open it, not even look at it, and now Christ takes it —who was the only one worthy to take it— and gives it to a man.
What is Christ doing? He is giving him the Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, the Title of eternal life.
Therefore, that Title… Without that Title there will be no resurrection nor will there be transformation for the elect. It is necessary for Christ to take the Title Deed in Heaven, bring it to Earth and give it to a man; and that man receives the order to prophesy over many peoples, nations, tongues and kings.
And then, in Revelation 11, there is already the prophetic ministry. It says in chapter 11, verse 3 and on:
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth (those are the ministries that will have the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals).
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth…”
In movies they show, when they show movies like that of the Two Olive Trees or the Two Witnesses, they show them casting fire out of their mouths; but what that represents is: Speaking the Word. That Sword that comes out of the mouth of the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, and the Son of Man of Revelation, chapter 1, is the Word.
And now, they will have the creative Word to speak it; and what they speak, will happen; because they will have the Voice that will shake the Heavens and the Earth.
Now, we have seen where the Voice that will shake the Heavens and the Earth is. It is in the prophetic mystery of the Two Olive Trees, in the prophetic ministry of the one who will eat the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals; it is in the one who will have the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Last Day.
That Great Voice of Trumpet is the prophetic Message of God through Christ, through the Holy Spirit through the final messenger, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In that Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit (which is the only one that has ministries) will be operating those ministries, and He will be speaking; and what will be speaking is the Voice of God. That will be the Voice of God. And that is the Voice that will shake the Heavens and the Earth.
We have seen that everything is simple. Everything is simple, but everything is hidden here: in the Bible, in the book of Revelation and in other books of the Bible.
(…) Christ is still in Heaven, on His Throne of Intercession; still the Second Coming of Christ hasn’t yet taken place; still the Coming of the Mighty Angel hasn’t yet taken place; because Christ is still on the Throne of the Father making Intercession with His Blood.
He is as High Priest until the last elect has entered His Church.
Then He will rise from the Throne of the Father, take the Title Deed, open it in Heaven, and do His Reclaiming Work. And He will give the Title Deed to a man, who will be His Angel, to eat it and prophesy over many peoples, nations and tongues. In other words, preach, prophesy, the divine judgments that are to come upon the human race, preach the plagues.
It is like Moses: God commanded Moses to preach the plagues. He would say, “Say that such a thing is coming.” If Moses didn’t say it, it wouldn’t come. But Moses went and said it, and things happened. Why? Because it is the creative Word of God on the lips of a man; and when that man spoke that Word: it materialized, because it is the creative Word of God.
Like when God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. See? It is the same thing. Now God speaking through men, through prophets. That is the way it has always been.
Notice, the things that Jesus prophesied have been fulfilled each in due time. Why? Because that was the creative Word of God. So shall this one also prophesy that the Title Deed shall be eaten up; for the command is:
“Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”1
And then, in Revelation, chapter 11, the Two Olive Trees are prophesying.
What is it? It is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, in which the Book is eaten, which is represented in John the apostle: By eating that Book, there it is representing the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who in the Last Day will receive the Title Deed, the Book, and will eat it; and will prophesy the divine judgments that are to come upon the Earth, he will prophesy them upon many peoples, nations and tongues.
Therefore, we are close to that – to that time, of prophesying over many peoples and tongues, happening. But still mercy is extended in Heaven. There is still mercy in Heaven, we are still in the Dispensation of Grace, still the Door of Mercy is open.
But in Luke, chapter 13, verses 25 to 27, it says that the Door will be closed. When it is closed: then no person will enter the House of God, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have been completed, and we will be ready to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
