The First Coming of Christ was manifested on Earth for thirty-three years, in other words, the Coming of the Angel
of the Covenant in human flesh, in a veil of flesh created by God in Mary’s womb; because there were no veils of flesh,
human beings, clean from sin; because they had come through the first Adam, who had fallen, and everyone was
contaminated with sin; and God had to create a Body of flesh without sin, to dwell in.
And after carrying out the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross, and washing us in His precious Blood, and filling us with His Holy Spirit, on this Earth (throughout these two thousand years that have passed, and even in our time), there have been people who are cleansed from all sin and filled with the Spirit of God, born into the Kingdom of God, born again.
And a person who is born again does not have sin, because the Blood of Christ has taken away His sins. The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. Therefore, the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, has been manifesting Himself from age to age in each angel-messenger sent by God to His Church; and those have been veils of flesh washed in the Blood of Christ, therefore,
they have been veils of flesh without sin.
And at the Last Day, He will be manifested in His Angel-Messenger washed in the Blood of Christ and filled with His Holy Spirit; and therefore, he will be without sin, and he will be the instrument of Jesus Christ, of the Angel of the Covenant, for His manifestation of the Last Day, through whom He will be speaking to His Church and He will be making known to Her all these things which must shortly come to pass at the end time.
THE MYSTERY OF THE DATE THAT JESUS WAS BORN
He manifested Himself in Saint Paul, the first angel messenger of the Church of Jesus Christ among the Gentiles;
in Irenaeus, the second; in Martin, the third; in Columba, the fourth; in Luther, the fifth; in Wesley, the sixth; and in
William Branham, the seventh; and in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the eighth, for the Age of the Cornerstone.
And all of these are born in Bethlehem; just as King David was born in Bethlehem, and just as King David’s
brothers were also born in Bethlehem (which were seven brothers, that King David had), but who was the youngest of them? David, the one who was the eighth son of Jesse.
THE MYSTERY OF THE DATE THAT JESUS WAS BORN
And now notice how, in the manifestation of theeighth messenger, Jesus Christ will manifest Himself as Sonof man and Son of David, to claim His Throne and HisKingdom, and to reign over the Hebrew people and over allnations; and to claim His Church: all of the redeemed withHis precious Blood, to put them in eternal bodies (us who arealive and also the dead in Christ, who lived in past ages).
Now, notice how these eight sons of Jesse representthe eight messengers of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christamong the Gentiles, and how in the manifestation of theeighth messenger (which is represented in King David),Christ will manifest Himself as King of kings and Lord oflords, in His Claiming Work. And He will claim the Throne ofDavid; because He is the heir to the Throne of David.
And in His last manifestation, Jesus Christ as the heirto the Throne of David will make the claim over His Throne,and He will sit on the Throne of David. And of theOvercomer, who will be His Angel-Messenger at the Last
Day, He says:“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me inmy throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with myFather in his throne.”

The Revelation Of The Seven Seals
“God Hiding Himself In Simplicity, Then Revealing Himself In The Same”
Page 54, paragraphs 371-372
Rev. William Marrion Branham
371 Are you ready? I want to shock you a little bit. The Rapture will be the same way. It’ll be so
simple, no doubt it’ll be likewise, till the Rapture will come one of these days and nobody will
know nothing about it. Now, don’t, don’t, don’t get up now, but study just a minute. I’m sure
enough closing. The Rapture will come in such a simple way till the judgments will fall, and
they’ll see the Son of man, and they’ll say, “Wasn’t we supposed to have such-and-such? And
wasn’t there supposed to be Elias sent to us? And wasn’t there supposed to be a Rapture?”
372 Jesus will say, “It’s already happened, and you didn’t know it.” God in simplicity. See?
