| The Coming of the Lord in glory |
The Bible and the Message tell us that the coming of the Lord starts with the 1translation of the LIVING saints, after the church ages have 2ended. At the 3call from Heaven to "Come up hither," they will leave their 4natural bodies and with great 5rapturing faith enter their waiting Theophany bodies, and then be 6taken up and translated to the 7third Heaven. There at the Throne, they will meet the gathered 8DEAD in Christ of ALL ages, from 9Adam to the last one, all of them in their Theophany bodies while their corporal bodies still remain 10under the earth in the grave, or in the sea where some perished. Then Christ, the 11Judge of the LIVING and the DEAD will leave the 12Mercy Seat, and He will come 13down from above and He takes the 14Lamb's Book of Life out of the right hand of Him on the Throne, and He will loose those 157 LAST, or 7 OTHER, or 7 DIFFERENT Seals, as Brother Branham calls it. Then He will 16judge, and 17claim, and 18fully redeem and 19REWARD 20each saint personally and individually as 21faultless and blameless 22OVERCOMER of unbelief and sin, according to their righteous 23deeds which are recorded in the previously sealed Lamb's Book of Life. Then God will 24incarnate Himself into His entire Bride, which will be the consummation of the 25Marriage. After that 26greatest event ever, they together will 27come back to earth to receive their glorified bodies, as Brother Branham was told behind the curtain of time. That is the first part of the Marriage, and of the second coming of the Lord.
As the Bible says, the 28last will be first and the first will be last. The living saints will re-enter their bodies first, and be changed into their glorified bodies. Then all the dead in Christ will be resurrected, which will be the 29RESULT of the full Redemption of the Lord's righteous Bride. Then after a few days they all together will be raptured to the three and a half years Wedding supper, which is the reception. That will be the second and final part of the Wedding, and also of the second coming of the Lord.

28 97 THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES 54-0512 A great wave of that same Spirit, and a "whoossh," wave
after wave. "He that was LAST will be FIRST, and he that was FIRST will be LAST." How can it be
that way? That's the order of the RESURRECTION. I won't know nobody in the generation before me or
the generation after me. I'll know those in the generation of this. And every generation will come
successfully, right as it went down. "They which were LAST will be FIRST." Sure, it has to be. I'll know
my people. The next fellow, my dad will know his people; his grandfather, his people, on down like
that. Wave after wave, after wave, after wave, and the saints arising from everywhere, won't that be
wonderful.

the soul, which makes a new creature, passes from death unto Life, and then waiting in this old
tabernacle for the REDEMPTION of the BODY, AFTER the SOUL has been REDEEMED.
