(Second activity)

I express my most sincere condolences for the departure of our brother and friend Miguel Angel Carrera Estrella; to his parents Misael Carrera Aguirre and Elvira Estrella Garcia, and his sister Evelyn Alejandra Carrera Estrella; and other relatives, friends and brethren of our brother Miguel Angel Carrera Estrella.

On an occasion, in the year 1961, March 5th, in this booklet titled <span style="color: #333399;">“BEYOND THE CURTAIN OF TIME,” our brother Branham here narrates the occasion when he went to the sixth dimension; and there he said, he says…</span>

Because on that occasion (let’s see here) he was at a funeral; and they give him the microphone…, that is, he leaves brother Neville at the pulpit; and brother Neville reeds the article of Reverend William Branham titled <span style="color: #333399;">**“BEYOND THE CURTAIN OF TIME,”**<sup>**[1](#sdfootnote1sym)**</sup> which was published on… February of this year, ‘61:</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*39*</sup> *\[The other morning I was lying on my bed. I had just awoke from sleep, and I placed my hands behind my head and relaxed with my head on the pillow. Then I began to wonder what it will be like on the other side. I realized that I have lived more than half my life if I live to be as old as my people, and I wanted to do more for the Lord before I left this life.\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*40*</sup> *\[I heard a Voice saying: “You are just starting! Press the battle! Keep pressing!” As I lay there pondering the words, I thought that I just imagined that I had heard a Voice. Again the Voice said: “Press the battle! Keep going! Keep going!”*</span>

\[JBP\] Do you see how beautiful it is to meditate?, and speak with oneself, think oneself, meditating in the promises, in all that God has promised us; and also everything that God has delivered us from, and how great and kind He has been with us; everything we’ve gone through and all that He has helped us in until here; and of all the dangers that He’s delivered us from, has kept us from all, of so many things; and for us to be here standing before the Son of Man today, not as we were before, but as changed people in so many aspects. And to see beyond, that is, meditate in all that God has promised for His children at this time.

Notice, he was in that atmosphere, meditating in all of that, and would say: <span style="color: #333399;">“At… at this point, half my life has gone by, and I’d like to do something more for the Lord.” See? He was in that atmosphere like that, meditating; and he heard (in this) within himself, that is, something from within…:</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[40\]* </sup>*Again the Voice said: “Press the battle! Keep going! Keep going!” Still unbelieving, I thought that possibly I had spoken the words myself. I placed my lips between my teeth* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he did like am “Mhmm” there)</span> *and held my hand over my mouth and listened. The Voice spoke again: “Just keep pressing! If you only knew what is at the end of the road!*</span>

\[JBP\] Look, if God shows us all that is beyond… Notice, he was shown; and this is for our teaching.

But notice that the elect of God is based on faith; because if not, there would be no need for faith, because everything would be too easy. And one would look: *“Alright, wait, let me… I already know how it’s going to happen, or this, or that, know all that is in the future…”*

But notice, we know what will happen in the future, because there are promises of transformation, of resurrection, to rule for the Millennium and eternity; all of that is there. But there’s something more (let’s say) evident. God shows brother Branham there; that this should be a great teaching for us.

He says:

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[40\]*</sup> *If you only knew what is at the end of the road! I seemed to hear the music and words of an old, familiar song:\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;">*\[“I’m homesick and blue, and I want to see Jesus,\]* </span>

<span style="color: #333399;">*\[I would like to hear those harbor bells chime.\]* </span>

<span style="color: #333399;">*\[It would brighten my path and banish all fears.\]* </span>

<span style="color: #333399;">*\[Lord, let me look past the curtain of time!”\]* </span>

\[JBP\] Meaning, he was remembering that hymn.

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*41*</sup> *\[Then the Voice asked…\]*</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] This is when… One is reminded as when Job was asked: “Where were you (remember that occasion?) when I founded…?” We are going to search in the Scripture, because it was a question that God asked Job. Let’s go here:

**Job 38:1**

<sup>*1*</sup> *Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,*

<sup>*2* </sup>*Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?*

<sup>*3* </sup>*Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.*

<sup>*4* </sup>*Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.*

<sup>*5* </sup>*Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?*

<sup>*6* </sup>*Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;*

<sup>*7*</sup> *When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?*

\[JBP\] Now you see, there it speaks to us, in these verses, a very great revelation. And you see that where the Cornerstone is: the stars —which are the children of God, who are also represented in the children of God— are praising, glorifying.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And notice how there God asks Job; and here that Voice asks brother Branham.

Now look, this question is for brother Branham to answer him; because as each person has free will, he could say “yes” or he could say “no.” He did not take him like this…: “Come here, I am going to place you here,” but he asked him there; it says <span style="color: #333399;">\[**“BEYOND THE CURTAIN OF TIME”**\]:</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*41*</sup> *\[Then the Voice asked: “Would you like to see just beyond the curtain?”\]*</span>

\[JBP\] Now, he was remembering the song “Beyond the curtain of time”; and look how in that dimension there, when he was remembering there in the mind, how that Voice was discerning the thought of brother Branham there:

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[41\]*</sup> *I answered: “It would help me so much!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*42*</sup> *\[What happened I cannot say. Whether I was in the body or out, or whether it was a translation, I do not know, but it was unlike any vision I have ever had. I could see the place to which I was taken and I could see myself lying back there upon my bed. I said: “This is a strange thing!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*43*</sup> *\[There were great numbers of people and they came running to greet me, crying: “Oh, our precious brother!” First came young women, apparently in their early twenties, and as they would embrace me they said: “Our precious brother!” Young men, in the brilliance of young manhood, with eyes glistening like stars on a darkened night, with teeth as white as pearls, embraced me, saying, “Our precious brother.”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*44*</sup> *\[Then I noticed that I, too, had become young again. I looked at myself there and turned and looked back at my old body lying on the bed with my hands behind my head. I said: “I don’t understand this!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*45*</sup> *\[As I began to try to comprehend the place where I was, I began to realize that there was no yesterday and no tomorrow there. No one seemed to get tired. As a multitude of the most beautiful young women I have ever seen threw their arms around me, I discovered there was only a great love that overwhelmed me and no physical attraction as in the human behaviour. I noticed these young women all wore their hair down to their waistline and their skirts went down to their feet.\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*46* </sup>*\[After this, Hope, my first wife, hugged me, and said: “My precious brother!” Then another young woman hugged me and Hope turned and hugged the young woman. I said: “I don’t understand this. This is something entirely different from our human love. I don’t want to go back to that old body on the bed.”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*47*</sup> *\[Then a Voice spoke to me: “This is what you preached that the Holy Ghost is! This is perfect love. Nothing can enter Here without it!”\]*</span>

\[JBP\] Nothing can enter there without perfect love, without the Holy Spirit.

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*48*</sup> *\[Next I was taken up and seated on a high place. All around me were great numbers of men and women in the bloom of youth. They were crying, with joy: “Oh, our precious brother, we are so happy to see you here!” I thought: “I’m not dreaming, for I can see these people and I can see my body lying back there on the bed.”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*49*</sup> *\[The Voice spoke to me: “You know it is written in the Bible that the prophets were gathered with their people.” I said: “Yes I remember that in the Scriptures, but there are not this many Branhams.” The Voice replied: “These are not Branhams. These are your converts, the ones you have led to the Lord. Some of these women you think are so young and beautiful were more than ninety years old when you led them to the Lord. No wonder they are crying out, ‘My precious brother!’” Then the multitude cried together: “If you hadn’t gone forth with the Gospel, we wouldn’t be here!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*50*</sup> *\[I asked: “Oh, where is Jesus? I want to see Him!” The people replied: “He is just a little higher. Some day He will come to you. You were sent as a leader, and when God comes, He will judge you according to your teaching.” I asked: “Does Paul and Peter have to stand this judgment also?” The answer was: “Yes!” I said, “I have preached what they preached. I did not divert from It to one side or the other. Where they baptized in the Name of Jesus, I did too; where they taught the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, I did too. Whatever they taught, I taught, also.”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*51*</sup> *\[“We know that,” the people cried, “and we know that we are going back to earth with you sometime. Jesus will come* <span style="color: #000000;">(\[JBP\] in the book of <span style="color: #333399;">*The Seals*</span> he says:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah, Revelation 11»*</span><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;">)</span><sup>[2](#sdfootnote2sym)</sup> *and judge you according to the Word you preached us. Then you will present us to Him, and all together we will go back to earth to live forever.” I asked: “Do I have to go back to earth, now?” They answered: “Yes, but keep pressing on!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*52*</sup> *\[As I began to move from that beautiful, joyful place, as far as my eyes could see, people were coming towards me to embrace me, crying: “My precious brother!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*53*</sup> *\[Suddenly I was back on the bed again. I said: “Oh, God, help me! Never let me compromise with the Word. Let me stay straight on the Word. I don’t care what anyone else does, Lord, let me press on to that beautiful, joyful place!”\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*54*</sup> *\[I am more convinced than ever in my life that it will take perfect love to enter that place. There was no jealousy, no tiredness, no sickness, no old age, no death. Only supreme beauty and joy.\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*55*</sup> *\[Whatever you do, lay aside everything else until you get perfect love! Get to where you can love everybody, even every enemy. No matter if the plane is rocking, the lightning is flashing, or the guns of the enemy are upon you, these things do not matter: get perfect love!\]*</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*56*</sup> *\[If you are not saved, accept Jesus Christ. (…)\]*</span>

\[JBP\] And there it goes on to say what in the Dispensation of Grace was carried out:

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[56\]*</sup> *\[(...) Press on to that perfect love which will take you to that beautiful and joyful place beyond the curtain of time!\]*</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Which was what in the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals*** he spoke to us, on page 368 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 423 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\]</span> where it tells us:</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>\[352\]</sup> We’re in travail, Christ, to bring forth the Bride. Everything is travailing and groaning. See, there is something fixing to happen.</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>353</sup> And this Sixth Plague \[Seal\] lets her go <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] What is the Sixth Seal? Revelation 11, Moses and Elijah)</span>. Brother…</span>

\[JBP\] Meaning, notice what makes way for all that will come: it is that ministry of Moses and Elijah, the Lord in His Coming with His Angels.

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>\[353\]</sup> Brother, the earthquake bursts open, and the stars shake, volcanics will come forth, and the earth will renew itself. New lava will break forth from the center of the earth. And she’ll crumble, all around and around and around, when she spins out in yonder.</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>354</sup> And I tell you, one morning <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>in the morning</u>»*</span> when Jesus and His Bride comes back to the earth, there will be a paradise of God there. That, oh, my, them old warriors of the battle, walk down through there with their friends and loved ones. The anthems will fill the air, of an Angelic host. “Oh, it was well done, My good and faithful servant. Enter into the joys of the Lord, that’s been prepared for you, like you should have had back there before Eve started the ball a rolling in sin.” Amen! Whew! Yes.</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>355</sup> Sixth Seal is going to do something. Yes, sir. Truly the whole world is groaning and paining, for the Millennium age!</span>

\[JBP\] Now, notice how all that is what would be taking place in and through the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which is going to produce all those promises, both blessings for the Church-Bride, to be ready, prepared, for when the resurrection occurs to be transformed; and for the world as well, which will know that the end of time has already come, the end of the world, and where there is no hope, opportunity.

In other words, all of mankind, all the groups (the Bride, the foolish virgins, the lost, the 144,000), are being impacted; and that impact is increasing; the impact towards all those groups is increasing as God is fulfilling all that pertains to the Seventh Seal, the Sixth Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord with His Angels.

See, because what is the Seventh Trumpet for Israel (which is Moses and Elijah), notice, the Sixth Seal is the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord, for the Church-Bride.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on the bottom of page 373 <span style="color: #333399;">\[***The Seals***\] \[P. 428\]:</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>\[391\] </sup>…for we realize we have just a short time. And the Church might go at any time.</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>392</sup> The Lamb might, at any time, leave the sanctuary up There, or the Throne of sacrifice, come forth from the Throne of God where the sacrifice lays, and then it’s over; there is no more hopes for the world; she is finished. Then she goes into flusterations, of great spasms of earthquakes, and—and great shakings like it was at the resurrection. And—and, the—the…</span>

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>393</sup> As Christ rose from the grave, when the saints rise, the same thing will take place.</span>

\[JBP\] And there, in that group, our friend and brother Miguel Angel Carrera Estrella will return; and it will be what? A glad day. It says:

<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>\[393\]</sup> Lord, it could be at any minute. We’re watching for that glad day to arrive.</span>

\[JBP\] Because even though the world will be with all those violent contractions and tremendous shakings, as it happened in the resurrection of the saints and of Jesus back in His First Coming, that day of joy…, which in this end time will also be repeated, because they will return. While the world is with all those convulsions and labor pains, we will be anxiously waiting for that day of joy…

Why joy? Because all those departed loved ones that God has called to form the group and complete the group there in the sixth dimension are going to return, they are going to return again. And it will be such a joyful day!

Because look, there you are sad because your son is gone; and his sister, because her little brother is gone; and his grandparents and his friends, his friends at work, who miss him now. But look, what a glorious hope, that in this end time there will come a day of joy!

This day is a day of sadness for many, because a family member is gone; we are human, we feel and we get sad; like when my dad left, like when our brother William left, you see, people we love; or a family member we also love left… Look, here several people have left who spent time with us…; speaking from my side, they spent time with me and I with them, and it filled me with sadness; and I understand your sadness, I completely understand your sadness.

But look, we have such a great hope, and it is that there will come a day of joy, your sorrow will be turned into joy! And there in the hope that the apostle Paul spoke and said it in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13 onwards, he says: “Take comfort in these words”; because the promises that God has made for His children are words of comfort.

So this earthly life, when it ends for a person, is not everything. This is not the end for Miguel Angel Carrera Estrella; no. This is not the end for Miguel Angel Carrera Estrella. It is rather a time that ended while he was in this earthly body. He will return with an eternal and glorified body to live for all eternity: to be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, to be in the Millennium and in eternity.

Do you see why they are words of comfort? And why the Second Coming of the Lord…, of which Jesus did not read in chapter 61, that He stopped there in verse 2?: “And to preach the day of vengeance of our God, and to comfort all them that mourn.” Because He brings words of comfort, and He is telling you that that day of joy will come very soon, where we will see all our departed loved ones again.

So, relatives, his parents, his siblings and all the relatives, brothers in Christ and brothers too, relatives of…, all the family on the father’s and mother’s side, and all the friends present there: be comforted with these words, aware that soon we will see Miguel Angel Carrera Estrella again.

May God bless you, may God keep you. And today, Saturday, September 21 of this year 2024, may peace and love and hope rest upon you, aware that we will see our brother Miguel Angel again.

And, as he said there:<span style="color: #333399;"> \[WMB\] “This would help me a lot,” that is, to show brother Branham all that was beyond the curtain of time; well, I hope that what I have read to you, has been of help and of comfort and of hope, aware \[that\] he is over there looking over here happy, enjoying the blessings contained there.</span>

May God bless you and keep you; and may you all have a day of peace, love and calmness in your hearts, until the time comes when that day of joy, of rejoicing, of happiness arrives.

God bless you and keep you; and I join you in this moment of pain; but aware that we are looking beyond the curtain of time, in all this that our brother Branham told us. And we thank God for all that God allowed him to see, and that he left it there for our teaching, aware that there is a hope for all the sons and daughters of God.

May God bless you and keep you all.
