Good morning to all those present, and all those who are watching through the Amazonas satellite or the internet in the different countries; and also to missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin there in Lima, Peru, in the congregation pastored by the Reverend Ronald Rios, and all the brethren gathered there today, as our brother Miguel always does in the places where he is at (they always have meetings on Saturdays).And all those who are watching and those present here: May God bless you greatly; and may He speak directly to our souls today, our hearts, through His Word, which is what we have come to seek on this occasion, and on the other occasions in which we meet.In the Gospel according to **John**, in **chapter 1**, **verse 14**, it says in the following manner; the Gospel according to John, chapter 1, verse 14, says:<sup>*14*</sup> \_And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.\_ \[JBP\] He writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Begotten</u>»*</span>. <span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #00ccff;"> **“THE INCARNATE WORD.”**</span>That is the topic we will be discussing in these minutes this morning.<span style="color: #ff0000;">**MAY GOD GIVE US A SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION TO WORK UNITED IN THE WORK OF GOD** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**(Ministers Meeting)** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Saturday, August 1, 2009* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, if you see at some point that the Son of Man sits on the Throne of David before the great tribulation, then… that judgment would be the judgment of the great tribulation (so as to leave things like that: for those who believe in one way or believe in another, to then have… there is that flexibility for all).</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">It is the same whether it is before or after; but it will be in the time that God has established; and it will be at the Coming of the Lord with His Church, and all the holy angels will come with Him. Also remember that Christ said that in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are or will be like the angels.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Well, let’s leave it there. I believe that with what we have God has given us enough revelation to give us wisdom. Remember when the Archangel Gabriel or Angel Gabriel came to Daniel, Daniel would read and didn’t understand, and he cried out to God, and God sent the Angel Gabriel and said to him, “I have come to you to give you wisdom, knowledge.”</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Reverend William Branham says that Gabriel announced the First Coming of Christ; in other words, He gave wisdom and knowledge of the Coming of the Lord. And how would it be? He made it known to Zechariah and to the virgin Mary; and then, you see, to the shepherds, when the Messiah was born.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">May the Lord send the Angel Gabriel from before His presence, to give us wisdom and revelation about the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, to give us wisdom and revelation about and of the Coming of the Lord to His Church in this end time. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.</span>\[JBP\] It was a petition that he made there.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s see here, in the book of **“The Restoration of Israel,”** where he spoke there to them, to have this here as a foundation for the next thing we are going to be reading. (We have quoted it, but let’s read it directly). And he is speaking there; on that last day, he says:<span style="color: #ff0000;">**Closing of the** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**WORLD CONGRESS OF RABBIS** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*For a better world and the 7 precepts of Noah* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Sunday, December 18, 2016* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Buenos Aires, Argentina*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[Page 308\]</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Elijah is promised to come before the terrible day of God comes; that is, before the Feast of Trumpets crystallizes; because the Feast of Trumpets contains the divine judgment that will fall upon mankind.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Therefore, the first thing that Israel will see is Elijah proclaiming permanent peace for Israel and for all mankind within the framework of the restored Kingdom of David.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">The kingdom of the gentiles is in the feet of iron and clay. With the coming of the cornerstone (from Daniel, chapter 2), which is the Coming of the Son of David to sit on the Throne of David, the kingdom of the gentiles will be shattered. And the stone not cut by hands will grow, and form a kingdom, which will fill the whole Earth. And that is where peace will come for Israel and for all mankind, permanent peace.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Otherwise, all religious speeches of all religions will be just words carried away by the wind.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">We want to crystallize what God has promised for Israel: the restoration of the Kingdom of God on Earth, which is the restoration of the Kingdom of David and the Throne of David. That is the only hope there is for Israel.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Outside that hope there is another hope, but you do not want it: it is the disappearance of Israel, which many want; but we do not want it.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Therefore, be attentive to Elijah’s promise, so that you will know him when he comes speaking about permanent peace within the framework of the establishment of the Kingdom of David on Earth. That is the only hope there is for Israel.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And we can say, as they sometimes say: “Take it or leave it.” Either the Kingdom of God is established on Earth, the Kingdom of David; or the Babylonian kingdom will take over the earthly kingdom and finish off all the Jews.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And the religion that will be established in that kingdom will be the Babylonian religion of the golden calf; that was the conflict there in Israel with the golden calf.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">The religion of idolatry will rule the whole world, it will destroy the Jews and the religion of God, of the only God, if you do not wake up in time.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[Rabbi translator: *You are saying something terrible, which is very difficult for me to say. It really cost me…*\]</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">I do not have much time left on Earth.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[Rabbi translator: *No, do not say that. 120 years in good health.*\]</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">I am already 76 years old, and I have no time to waste on either the gentiles or the Jews.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">I have been sent from the presence of God to give this news, this good news for Israel. And the sooner I give it all, the sooner I can go to my heavenly Father’s House.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Study whether all this that I have been speaking about is promised in the Scripture for Israel. And if it is promised, it has already begun to be fulfilled.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And the Feast of Trumpets may already have begun to crystallize, or it is very close to crystallizing. The Feast of Trumpets is that which contains the day burning like an oven; it is that which contains the divine judgment that will fall upon mankind; it is where it will be known who will live and who will die. And we all want to live. I desire life for you, and I desire it for me too.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now see how he speaks to them there and tells them that he came to give that good news, just as the Archangel Gabriel came to Zechariah the priest and also to the virgin Mary. Because Gabriel, brother Branham says that he announced the First Coming of Christ and will announce the Second Coming. That is in the book of<span style="color: #333399;"> ***Quotations***… on page 33, paragraph 282:<sup>[1](#sdfootnote1sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #333399;"> *282 - “*<sup>*\[18\]* </sup>*And standing there was a Angel, the mighty Gabriel. He’s a messengers to the Jews. Remember, Gabriel announced the first coming of Christ; the Angel Gabriel will announce the second coming of Christ. The Bible said so.”*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Gabriel = announces the 2nd Coming of Christ</u>»*</span>.<sup>[2](#sdfootnote2sym)</sup>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice that announcement that He gave there to the virgin Mary, where he says in **chapter 1**, **verse 32**:<sup>*32*</sup> \_He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:\_ <sup>*33*</sup> \_And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.\_ \[JBP\] See all that He told her there, that it would be the Coming of the Messiah; and that would be fulfilled in His Second Coming. In other words, He was speaking to her there of \[what He would do\] in His Second Coming, but He hadn’t revealed to her that He would come again. In other words, already in His Second Coming it is to establish that which He told her: to establish the Kingdom of the Messiah in Israel, to rule all mankind from there.<span style="color: #ff0000;">**THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**(Ministers Meeting)** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Saturday, October 3, 2009* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">The Angel Gabriel announced the coming of the forerunner of the First Coming of the Messiah, and also announced the First Coming of the Messiah to the virgin Mary <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] in other words, He announced to her that the forerunner would come and He also announced that the one forerun would come)</span> and also to the shepherds who were in Bethlehem of Judea on the night of the birth of the Messiah, of Jesus.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look in the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***Quotations***, page 17, which is where it says in paragraph 128:<sup>[3](#sdfootnote3sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #333399;"> *128 - “*<sup>*126*</sup> *Could you imagine, before there even was an earth, before there was a light, before there was a star, before there was anything? There’s a great Fountain going forth, of Spirit, and out of this Fountain came the most pure of love, ’cause there was nothing for it to come from that but love. Now, we, what we call love, today, is a perverted love. But just as we get an essence, or a little bit of that love in us, it changes our whole opinion.”*</span>\[JBP\] And there he draws a Pyramid; and he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>love</u>»*</span>. <span style="color: #333399;"> *128 - “*<sup>*127*</sup> *Then out of there come another stream, off this main Fountain, the Diamond, and it was called righteousness, absolutely righteousness* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>diamond</u>»*</span>*. \[...\]*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*128*</sup> *Now, when these great Lights went out, or great rays of Spirit: love, peace, that’s all there was, That. There wasn’t no suffering. There wasn’t no—no hate, nor no malice; it couldn’t come from this Fountain. That was Jehovah. That was Jehovah God. And now, as the theologians call it, a theophany went from That* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>the Logos</u>»*</span>*, which was called, in the Scriptural, the ‘Logos,’ the Logos that went out of God. It’s hard to explain, but It was a part of God.”*</span>\[JBP\] And there at the bottom he writes:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The Theophany = The Word — The Logos = the Word</u>»*</span>. <span style="color: #333399;"> *128 - “*<sup>*129*</sup> *Now, here is what happened. Oh! Excuse me. I just get on this, this just gets me right where I love it. See? The Logos, and this great Fountain, this great Fountain of Spirit which had no beginning or no end; this great Spirit began to form, in the creation, and the Logos that went out from It was the Son of God. It was the only visible form that the Spirit had. And It was a theophany, which means a body, and the body was like a man.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*130*</sup> *Moses saw It when It passed through the… by—by the rock. And he looked at It, said, ‘It looked like the hind part* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>back</u>»* </span>*of a man.’ It’s the same type of body that we receive when we die here. ‘If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting.’”*</span>\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David next to it.\[JBP\] And above he writes:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Moses saw the theophany of Jesus</u>»*.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] <u>The theophanic body = the Word, the Word.</u>*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*<u>The Word = the Son of God</u>»*.</span>He writes that above.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he goes on to say<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] And He had also announced to Joseph about the virgin Mary’s pregnancy, and told him that that was the Son of God, the one who would be born through the virgin would be Emmanuel (which translated is: God with us), and that He would save His people from their sins. That was said by the Angel who appeared to Joseph, the husband of the virgin Mary; that is in chapter 1, verses 18 to 25.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, the Angel Gabriel, the heavenly messenger who is before the presence of God…</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] See how there he is identifying where that messenger is from; and then, to leave, he identifies himself as the one who is in the presence of God.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] …and who brings the divine revelations contained in the Book of Truth; who is God’s messenger through whom God sends to Earth messages to human beings as He sent to the prophet Daniel and as He also sent to the priest Zechariah and to the virgin Mary, and to Joseph the husband of the virgin Mary and to many more throughout biblical history…; although in many passages in which he appeared, he doesn’t make his name known.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look here in the message <span style="color: #333399;">**“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,”**<sup>**[4](#sdfootnote4sym)**</sup> let’s read from page 1, because there he begins to speak something important. He says, look:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*1*</sup> *I guess, a kind of a long-winded preacher. And without education, I—I guess I don’t sound much like a preacher to some people. And I—I don’t even claim to be a preacher, I just kind of a spare tire. But I feel that I have a Message from God, that in my way (that the only way I have to present It), I’m trying to present It to the world. And if I didn’t stay with that Message, I’d be a traitor to God and a hypocrite to you. A person that will say one thing and believe another, it’s hypocrisy. We must always speak the truth from our heart. That when people look upon us, even though they disagree with us, we want to be honorable man and women* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he writes there): </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the hypocrisy</u>»*</span>*: that we speak from our heart, that which is true in our hearts.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*2*</sup> *Last year, or year before last, I had the privilege of speaking a—a Christian… or pardon me, a Christmas message, here at the Ramada. And I believe I spoke on the subject, either here or Phoenix, on: Why Little Bethlehem? And I believe then it was here, last year, I spoke on: We Have Seen His Star In The East And Have Come To Worship Him.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*3*</sup> *And, you know, we read the Bible, and we wonder, those “Why’s?” And tonight I thought, if you would bear with me a while, and pray with me, I would try to give you my Christmas message. God only knows where we’ll be next Christmas, if there is a next Christmas after this.*</span>\[JBP\] Now, remember, this was December 21, 1964. And, look, he goes on to say:<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[3\]*</sup> *So being that this might be the last Christmas we set together, until we set at another table.* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] See, there he is already prophesying that what he had left was one year; because the next year, in December, he no longer spent Christmas with them; because he departed)</span>. *And It will not be one of this type, but it’ll be when we eat and drink the communion anew with Him, in the Father’s Kingdom at the end of the road* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Supper in the Father’s Kingdom</u>»*</span>*. And then, let us approach it tonight as if this was the last Christmas message we’d ever set together in, in the deepness of sincerity.*</span>\[JBP\] That is why we take advantage of every second of our life while we are in these bodies, because we don’t know if someone is still missing to be completed there in the sixth dimension, and he has to leave; and if it is one of our relatives or if it is a friend or if it is a brother believer in the Lord, and we can’t see him…; and we have him, and we don’t take the opportunity to stretch our hand and say: “God bless you”; maybe next time we will not see him again. That is why he speaks there as if it was the last Christmas, and in reality it was the last Christmas.<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[3\]*</sup> *And then, let us approach it tonight as if this was the last Christmas message we’d ever set together in, in the deepness of sincerity.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*4*</sup> *I want to speak tonight on a unusual subject, but sometimes you find God in the unusual thing. He does things in a unusual way. Not the usual way, it’s the unusual way, unusual times, unusual scenes, He’s unusual. And I want this… Lord willing, I want to speak on the subject of: Why It Had To Be Shepherd.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*5*</sup> *And now just before we approach the Word, which I believe that is God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us.”*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The incarnate Word</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And on page 3 of this same message here, a little further on (which is where we want to get to), look, in the prayer before starting the preaching there, he says<span style="color: #333399;"> \[**“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD”**\] \[P. 2\]:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[11\]*</sup> *And the Holy Spirit takes Your Words and reveals Them to us, for Jesus said, “When He the Spirit of Truth is come, He will remind you of these things that I have said and also show you things to come.”*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Rev. 1:1, 22:6, 22:16</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And that is where it says: **Revelation 22:16**<sup>*16*</sup> \_I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.\_ And **Revelation 22:6**:<sup>*6*</sup> \_…and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel…\_ \[JBP\] That is the Angel there, him placing those Scriptures, identifying Him.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, in this same message, there is a place here where it says, on page 40, it says <span style="color: #333399;">\[P. 32\]:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*189*</sup> *And, you know, his mother, when she had been conceived, after the Angel of the Lord met his father Zacharias, and went home to Elisabeth, and she was already six months in… to be mother. But she had had no life yet, she was scared ’cause the baby hadn’t moved. That’s subnormal.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*190*</sup> *And the Holy Ghost, the Angel of the Lord…*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The H.S.</u>»*</span>, that is, the Holy Spirit.\[JBP\] And he also writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The Angel of the Lord - Gabriel</u>»*</span>. <span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[190\]*</sup> *…the Angel of the Lord appeared to Mary, and told her that she was “going to have a baby, knowing no man,” and told her about Elisabeth’s condition.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*191*</sup> *She went up the hills of Judaea, to tell Elisabeth* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he also writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Angel</u>»*</span> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] there)</span>. *And when she met Elisabeth, she told her that she “was going to be a mother.” And she couldn’t understand it, “knowing no man.” But she said, “The Holy Spirit overshadowed me, and said that this Holy thing* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and brother William writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>this Being</u>»*</span> *that’ll be borned of me will be called the ‘Son of God,’ and I’ll call His Name ‘Jesus.’” And the first time that the name Jesus was ever spoke in a human lip, a little dead baby, in its mother’s womb* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that is, that was John)</span>*, leaped for joy and shouted; and jumped in the womb of a mother, and it never had received life yet.*</span>\[JBP\] Now, “the dead shall hear the Voice of the Son of God and shall arise”<sup>[5](#sdfootnote5sym)</sup>; and it is by the Word being spoken that this resurrection event will occur.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look in **John**, **chapter 6**, **verse 38**:<sup>*38*</sup> \_For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.\_ <sup>*39*</sup> \_And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.\_ <sup>*40*</sup> \_And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.\_ \[*Rev.

I took it out in Spanish, I found it; so I am going to read it in Spanish, and then I read the writings he did here in English. This message was preached on December 16, ‘63. And in this one (which was the 21) which I read to you, he makes reference to this message; in other words, you have to join those two messages and there you will have the complete picture. Look, he says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*68*</sup> *And then we notice she, too, after she had this visitation, she was so elated by the Angel’s message, that she took up into the hilly country of Judaea; from Nazareth, where she was a native, of the city of Nazareth, a very mean, little city.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*69*</sup> *And when she got up there, her cousin Elisabeth was also (already six months) to be mother, who had been called barren.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*70*</sup> *Her husband, Zacharias, was a priest at the temple. And one day while he was waving the offerings, which was the burning incense, rather, over the prayers of the people that was being said outside. Gabriel, the Angel of the Lord; now, He hadn’t been seen, nor nothing been seen of anything Supernatural, for years and years, and hundreds of years. But here stood that Angel at the right-hand side of the altar, and told him that his wife would conceive and bear a child, and he was going to call his name “John.” And we all know the story.*</span><span style="color: #000000;">\[JBP\] He writes there in the one in English, in that part:<span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>Gabriel: The Angel of the Lord</u>»*</span>. And he writes these Scriptures:<span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>Rev. 1:1-3, 19:1-10, 22:6, 22:16</u>»*</span>.</span>And in the Bible, look, in Revelation 19, he stopped on verse 10; from 1 to 16, \[he only\] placed 19:1-10, in that Scripture.\[*Rev. Jose B.

He is the Angel who will be with the divine revelation for the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to thus be given to human beings.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">This Angel, knowing the content of the Book of Truth, knows what will be happening in this end time; therefore, we will have him in the end time in the midst of Christianity and then also in the midst of Judaism. So, the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will be well advised.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, remember that this Angel is before the presence of God; therefore, this Archangel Gabriel is one of the Two Olive Trees before the presence of God.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">On Earth the Two Olive Trees were, in the time of Zechariah: the high priest Joshua, and the prince and governor Zerubbabel. At the Last Day the Two Olive Trees will be the ministries of Moses and Elijah being repeated at the Last Day through the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom. As simple as that.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">(...) For the Last Day, the mystery of the Second Coming of the Lord is the greatest mystery of the prophecy, of biblical prophecy, and the Angel Gabriel or Archangel Gabriel will have the knowledge of that mystery; mystery that the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven will bring to Earth.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">That is why when the Seventh Seal is opened in Heaven, which is the Second Coming of Christ, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His people, then an Angel appears there with the censer in His hand: He is given much incense to add to the prayers of the saints; the saints believers in Christ, who had died praying for the resurrection, the return to Earth, the return to physical life which will be in glorified bodies; and the transformation of the living in Christ who have been praying for their transformation.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">This Angel with the censer is a member of the Priestly Order of Melchisedec in Heaven, in the heavenly Temple. All this is represented in the tabernacle built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon, where we find that God told Moses to build the tabernacle according to the pattern shown to him on the mount.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And Solomon received the order from David telling him that the blueprints that he gave him were by the finger of God; that is, that David didn’t make those blueprints on his own, it was by the finger of God that the blueprint of the temple that would be built in Jerusalem was made.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">(...)

It doesn’t change, it’s the same sun. Now when the Holy Spirit came, Jesus, the Son of God, He come in the east, on the eastern people. It’s been a day… as it’s traveled, as civilization has traveled with the sun, coming from the east to the west, and now we’re at the West Coast. We go any farther, we’re back east.

And you can’t see the sun, but the sun yet gives enough light. Something like it is out there now, maybe a little darker. And we’ve had enough to join church and put our name on the books, and so forth, but in the evening time that same great power of Christ would come upon His Church just like it did back there on the eastern. In the western it would be the same. So that’s why I want to speak on evening-time evangelism.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*63*</sup> *Each age has had its message and its messengers.

Even from the beginning, God was the Messenger at the beginning, to tell Adam and Eve, “You shall eat this, but you shall not do this.” That was the Message. And when man stepped across the Message of the hour, it brought death and chaos to the whole human race. Now, that’s how much the Message means. And remember that it wasn’t just a complete blank denial of what God said, that Eve believed, it was taking what God said and whitewashing it over, or—or just misconstruing it a little bit, just adding a little bit to It, or taking a little bit away from It.*</span>\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David.And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>covering up the Message = brought the fall</u>»*</span>. <span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*65*</sup> *That’s the reason that I believe that the Word is the Truth.

In other words, something big happens in Heaven at that moment when the Seventh Seal is opened in Heaven; something big happens. And after that, the Coming of the Lord to Earth.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">But between that is chapter 9 of Revelation, where certain things happen; but we are going to leave that alone. There are things that happen in one chapter and are the continuation or the same thing that is in another chapter of the past; and we are going to leave that alone.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">It is like the Pentateuch,<sup>[12](#sdfootnote12sym)</sup> where you find in one of the books certain laws, and then in another book you find the repetition of the same thing that had been spoken, but you find more details.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">So it is in the book of Revelation. You will find, for example, in some chapters a number of things happening; and then, in another chapter further on, you will find the same thing being repeated from another perspective, from other angles that hadn’t been focused or clarified in previous chapters.</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] That is, they are the Scriptures with multiple fulfillments, as we have read.<sup>[13](#sdfootnote13sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] So, we can see… for example in chapter 1 of Revelation, we find the Voice as of a trumpet speaking to John and He tells him: “I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last” (Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11); and it is a Great Voice of a Trumpet, but it is a person speaking, the Alpha and Omega, and that is Christ.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And then in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 12, he finds one like unto the Son of Man clothed with a garment down to the feet, girded about the chest with a golden girdle; He is no longer Priest, He is King. That is for the Second Coming of the Lord (it is in chapter 1, verse 12 to 18), and He has the keys of hell and death, that is why He can produce the resurrection at the Last Day; and He will do it as King, as Lion of the tribe of Judah.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B.

Gabriel is an important priest in Heaven, he belongs to the heavenly Priestly Order; and the Messiah is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple, Christ.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Gabriel had to do with the Messiah at His First Coming, and he will have to do with the Messiah at His Second Coming.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">In the ministry of the Messiah, he had to do also, although his name is not mentioned, he had to do with Him also. As he has had to do with the kingdom of the gentiles and the changes that they have had, that the kingdom of the gentiles has had in its different stages, it will have to do in the end time with the ministry of the Last Day, with the ministry of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, the ministry of the seventh dispensational messenger, for the seventh dispensation; he will be well linked with that ministry and will be supporting it, because he has to do with the change that will take place from the kingdom of the gentiles to the Kingdom of the Messiah, to the Kingdom of God.</span><span style="color: #000000;">\[*Rev.

And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man* (not in two nor in three, but in a man)*.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">So, you can see what this promise means to the children of Abraham by faith.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">In the fulfillment of the Lord’s Visitation at His Second Coming, the children of God will see the Word of God incarnate in a man, and that will be the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord. </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Many people are waiting for Jesus to return with the same body that He had at His First Coming.</span>\[JBP\] It is like in a writing on a paper, that he wrote:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Any person could think and say that Christ, He would come to them with the physical body; but He came in Holy Spirit</u>»*.<sup>[15](#sdfootnote15sym)</sup></span>\[JBP\] We have quoted that from memory; I think we read it these days as well.<span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] The fourth Elijah told us: “If Jesus appeared… if He appears with the body that Hofmann painted, with wounds in His hands and His feet, and with blood on His hands and on His feet (the fourth Elijah says), I wouldn’t receive Him.”</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Why? Because he is explaining it in that message… it was the message titled: *“Spiritual Food in Due Season”*... And the spiritual food in our time you already know what it is.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, on page 29, where brother Branham speaks this that brother William tells us here; on page 29 of the message <span style="color: #333399;">**“SPIRITUAL FOOD IN DUE SEASON,”**<sup>**[16](#sdfootnote16sym)**</sup> it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*166*</sup> *His Word said He’s already done that. But the thing of it is, is to make Himself known that He’s here.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*167*</sup> *Now, if He appeared to us in a physical body, looked just exactly like Hofmann’s Head of Christ at Thirty-three, and blood running out of His hand, and so forth, nail scars all over Him, I wouldn’t accept it. No, no. No, no. When He comes, Hisself, “Every eye shall see Him, every tongue shall confess Him; and as the lightning cometh from the East unto the West, so shall it be.”*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Not as Hofmann painted.

We believe God is the Word.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*168*</sup> *But He embodies Himself, taking your body and my body, and gives you gifts, gives me gifts, and through these gifts He makes Hisself known. That’s the secret Food. No matter how much He would make Hisself known by me, you’ve got to believe It, you’ve got to have a gift of faith, too, to believe It. You believe that?*</span>\[JBP\] And a little further down, also, he says <span style="color: #333399;">\[P. 25\]:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*171*</sup> *But, remember, Jesus said it would be different just at the time of His Coming* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>His Coming</u>»*</span>*…*</span>\[\_Rev.

The fig tree has put forth her buds. The Israelites are waiting for the Messiah. They are expecting Him and their expectations are about to be fulfilled. Israel will be reborn Spiritually, for her Light and her Life <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Moses and Elijah</u>»*</span> are about to be revealed to her.</span>\[JBP\] And if they are going to reveal themselves to her, it has to be in human flesh.\[*Rev.

Perez*\] Our brother William continues to say there <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[**“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] Then, he is explaining that God is veiled in every time and in every age in different veils of flesh, because God is God *en morphe*. “God does not change,” says the Scripture, but He changes His veil of flesh in which He manifests Himself.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">He changed veils of flesh: He changed from Enoch to Methuselah, or to the different prophets that were there; He also changed to Noah, and from Noah He changed to other prophets; He changed on another occasion to Moses, and from Moses He changed to Joshua…</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] Those who were waiting there for Moses to pass them over to the promised land: there they stayed without crossing Jordan; that is, they stayed there, and died.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s go to 1097. This one, like all subjects, one pauses from studying, and comes and reads what he has, and goes back…; because it’s the infinite Word of God: there is nowhere to stop. Page 123, paragraph 1097, it says <span style="color: #333399;">\[***Quotations***\]:<sup>[17](#sdfootnote17sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #333399;"> *1097 - “*<sup>*79*</sup> *That is, He changed Himself, He ‘poured Himself into,’ (Amen!), into another mask* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David)</span>*...”*</span>\[*Rev.

Then, later, we never heard no more of Melchisedec, because He became Jesus Christ. Melchisedec was the Priest, but He became Jesus Christ. Now, you bypassed that. Because, in that form, He knowed all things, and you have never been able to know that yet.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*You come like Adam, like me, you became from the attribute* <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>soul</u>»*</span> *to the flesh, to be tempted. But when this life is finished here, ‘If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting.’ That’s where we go; that is the **Word**.”* <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Theophany</u>»*</span>.</span>\[JBP\] And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Word</u>»*</span>. <span style="color: #333399;"> *1286 - “*<sup>*\[68\]*</sup> *Then we can look back and see what we done.

And then He become flesh and returned back again, resurrected that same body in a glorified condition. But you bypassed the theophany and become flesh-man, to be tempted by sin.”*</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now see, that is why it is… That Study from yesterday we have to read again, because there are things there where things were said about what is the glorified body of Jesus and what is His Spirit. Because look, when we read on page 134 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 158 in Eng. (First Seal)\] of the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals***</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[302\]*</sup> …Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings.</span>\[JBP\] Therein lies the great mystery of the Seventh Seal.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now… Page 126, 1118? Yes, there is something here too. Look, it says <span style="color: #333399;">\[***Quotations***\]:<sup>[19](#sdfootnote19sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #333399;"> *1118 - “*<sup>*\[281\]* </sup>*When the Word was in Moses, he was God in flesh.

See? Only thing He done was change His mask, not His Word, not His nature. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He only changed His form. He changed from Noah to Moses; He changed from Moses to David; from David, Joseph; on down till He come into the fullness of the Godhead bodily. See?*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*282*</sup> *It’s still the same God! \[...\]*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[284\]*</sup> *Joseph was the Word in his days, portraying Christ exactly.

The Word in all His fullness</u>»*</span>. And the entire Redemption Plan was at His First Coming; and the entire Reclamation Plan will be at His Second Coming.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[**“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] Then, he is explaining that God veils Himself in every time and in every age in different veils of flesh, because God is God *en morphe*: “God does not change,” says the Scripture, but He changes His veil of flesh where He manifests Himself.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">He changed veils of flesh: He changed from Enoch to Methuselah, or to the different prophets there; He also changed to Noah, and from Noah He changed to other prophets; He changed on another occasion to Moses, and from Moses He changed to Joshua; and thus God was changing veils of flesh.</span>\[JBP\] That is where we left off.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message <span style="color: #333399;">**“THE UNVEILING OF GOD,”**<sup>**[20](#sdfootnote20sym)**</sup> on page 15, it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*78*</sup> *That is, He changed Himself, He “poured Himself into,”* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and brother William writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>en morphe</u>»* </span>*(Amen!), into another mask, into another form. Not another person went out of Him, called the Holy Spirit, but It was He Himself. You get it? \[Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.\] He Himself poured Himself into the people. “Christ in you!” How beautiful, how wonderful, to think, God pouring Himself into the human being, into the believer. “Pour out!”*</span>\[JBP\] See that is what He is coming for: it is for His Church, for His Bride, and to give her that Rapturing Faith. What we read yesterday on 254 of<span style="color: #333399;"> *The Seals*: it is that group of elect with Moses and Elijah<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[*(WSS) «<u>Moses and Elijah and the elect</u>»*\]</span>, who can take the Word of God and place it right. See:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[78\]*</sup> *It was a part of His drama, to do so.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*God, all the fullness, all the Godhead bodily was in this Person, Jesus Christ. He was God, and God alone. Not a third person or a second person, or a first person; but the Person, God veiled in human flesh.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*79*</sup> *First Timothy 3:16, “Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; for G-o-d, Elohim,” capital G-o-d, in the Bible. Refer it back, anybody. It refers to, in the original, It said, “Elohim.” “In the beginning, Elohim.” See? “And, Elohim* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Elohim</u>»*</span>*, without controversy great is the mystery of Elohim; for Elohim was made flesh, and we handled Him.” Elohim, veiled in human flesh! The great Jehovah that covered all space, time, and everywhere, was made man. We handled Him, Elohim. “In the beginning, Elohim. And Elohim was made flesh, dwelt among us.”*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*80*</sup> *What? This is His way, the parts of the drama. That’s the way He’s to act it out, His way of revealing Himself to us as some different person. We are mortal, and He knows that. And we only understand as mortals* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>we can only understand as mortals</u>»*</span>*. We only know as mortals. We only know as our senses will let us know, and the rest of it we have to believe by faith. We have to say there is a God; whether we see Him, or not, we believe it, anyhow. See? Whether there is or not, we still believe it because God said so.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*81*</sup> *Like Abraham, could not see that son, no signs, no pregnancy of—of Sarah, no even any menstruation periods or anything, but yet God said so. All hopes, even her—her womb was dead, and his life in him was gone, and the—the stream of his life had dried up, and her—her life had dried up within her.*</span>\[JBP\] Now, there is a very, very great teaching there, in the life of Abraham and Sarah, at that time of the visit of Elohim with His Archangels Gabriel and Michael; for they were rejuvenated because of the Word of promise that Elohim spoke there to Abraham; and around that Word they were rejuvenated.For when Abimelech saw Sarah he fell in love with her; that is, she was beautiful, elegant, surely the difference was noticeable among all those who were there in the kingdom. And Sarah most likely looked at herself and looked at Abraham: *“But how is it possible?”*; for she had laughed, she hadn’t yet been rejuvenated: *“My lord being old and so am I, shall I have delight to have a child?”*<sup>*[21](#sdfootnote21sym)*</sup>Now see that in adversity, when it seems that all is lost, God rejuvenates, and then He culminates that work that He promised He would carry out in the midst of the people.In Abraham and Sarah —which, Sarah represents the Church-Bride of this end time—, everything that happened in that time is what in an updated form is happening in this end time.And how was that promise fulfilled there? There was a transformation; and God fulfilled His promise. In other words, Abraham was (let’s say) adopted there.He goes on to say <span style="color: #333399;">\[**“THE UNVEILING OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[81\]*</sup> *“And yet he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise, knowing that God was able to perform anything He said He would do.”*</span>\[JBP\] Remember that on Mount Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah were there. Whenever those ministries are there, it is a time of adoption.<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[81\]*</sup> *There’s the way we got to believe that Word today.*</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] From Elijah He changed to Elisha. See? But it was God Himself all the time; what God changes is only His garment, just as we change our clothes.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">You have seen me on some other occasion, maybe in some movie, or in some portrait; and because you see me here with these clothes, and in some portrait or some movie you saw me with another one, you can’t say that I am another one; I am the same. And so it happens with God.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Throughout biblical history we have seen the same God and only God. We saw Him dressed in a suit, in a garment, that was called Moses; then we saw Him with a garment called Joshua; then with a garment called Elijah; then we saw Him with a garment called Elisha.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">So also throughout the ages we saw Him dressed in a garment called Saint Paul, and then each one of the messengers had that name, which was the name of the garment, of the clothing of God.</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] And so on through the ages: Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Wesley; with one garment, God clothed in the messenger of the seventh age named William Marrion Branham. And we continue: and He was in a garment named William Soto Santiago. And now He has to be in another garment to fulfill what He has promised for His Church.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] But we know that in one of God’s garments there will be the Name of God; that tells us…</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Well, I believe that here God has given us something very beautiful, that we already know, but that has come about without planning it.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look in the message <span style="color: #333399;">**“WHY LITTLE BETHLEHEM,”**<sup>**[22](#sdfootnote22sym)**</sup> on page 34 it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*146*</sup> *These old cisterns, the World Council of Churches organizing now.

It’s God’s business to look out for that predestinated seed. There is going to be there, though.

See that for deliverance it was required to have the blood applied.There is a place in the Bible…, because he says there: <span style="color: #333399;">*“...not in the morning, not in the preparation, the fourteen days…”*</span>And there is a place, where it speaks of… I think it was when they dedicated Solomon’s temple, that they had another extra day; because he writes there something about the 14 days, and then an extra day was added. And let’s read it, since that is there spoken, and I remembered that there was this place here.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look at something interesting here. In **chapter 8** of **First Kings**, let’s go to **verse 65**; it says:<sup>*65* </sup>\_And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.\_ <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] And he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>14 days</u>»*</span>. <sup>*66* </sup>\_On the eighth day he sent the people away\_ <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes: </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the 15th day</u>»*</span>… <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] That is, 7 and 7 = 14; and the eighth day, but the eighth day of those other 7 days would be the 15th day.</span><sup>*66* </sup>\_...he sent the people away and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.\_ \[JBP\] And now, he draws the ages and a Cornerstone; and next to them he draws the ages, but he doesn’t draw the Cornerstone yet.And in chapter 9, there it shows us God appearing to Solomon for the second time.And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Lord appeared to him two times</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s continue here. It says <span style="color: #333399;">\[**“TOKEN”**\]:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*91*</sup> *So did Luther know it, so did Wesley know it, so did Finney, Knox, Calvin, know it. This is It! They knew there would come a time that the Pillar of Fire would return back to the Church. They knowed there would come a time that these things would happen, but they didn’t live to see it* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] they knew and knew that the Pillar of Fire would come to the Church)</span>*, but they looked forward to it.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*92*</sup> *Israel knew something was coming, but it was in the evening time when that lamb’s blood, the token, was placed on the door. Yet, the lamb was already put up.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*93*</sup> *It’s been the Lamb all the way through. It was the Lamb in Luther’s time, it was the Lamb—Lamb in Wesley’s time, but now is the Token time that each house must be covered by the Token. Each house of God must be covered by the Token. All that’s inside of it must be covered by the Token. And the House of God is the Body of Jesus Christ, and by one Spirit we’re all baptized into this Token and become part of It, that, God said, “When I see this Token displayed, I’ll pass over you.” What an hour that we’re now living! Oh!*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*94*</sup> *A blood identified, identified the believer, because the life had gone out, could not come back, so he had to have a—a chemistry. He had to have like a paint, a blood, a chemistry that showed that life went from it.* </span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*95*</sup> *Now the very Spirit Itself is the Token. The Holy Spirit Itself is the Token, not the Blood. The Blood was shed at Calvary, that is true. But the Blood, as far as it is, went back into the elements from which it come, from the food that He lived on. But, you see, inside that Blood cell was a Life that started the Blood cell to moving. If it was…The chemistry had no Life in it, itself, and therefore it could not move. But when the Life come into the chemistry of the blood, It formed a cell. It formed Its Own cell, then cell after cell, then it become a Man. And that Man was God, Emmanuel, in flesh* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>God in flesh</u>»*</span>*. But when that Life returned back, the chemistry went to it, but the Token is the Holy Ghost upon the Church, that they see Christ.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*96*</sup> *It has to be, because a woman and her husband become one. They become one. And so does the Bride and Christ become One. The ministry of the Bride, and the ministry of Christ, is the same.*</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of<span style="color: #333399;"> ***The Ages***, on page 189 of this version. Here at the bottom of 188 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 172 in Eng.\]</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;">The word of promise came to the virgin Mary. But that Word of promise was He, Himself, to be made manifest <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>God made flesh</u>»*</span>. God was made manifest. He, Himself, acted at that time and fulfilled His own Word of promise in the virgin. It was an angel that had brought her the message. But the angel’s message was the Word of God. Isaiah 9:6. He fulfilled at that time all that was written of Him because she accepted His Word to her.</span><span style="color: #333399;">The members of the virgin bride will love Him, and they will have His potentials, for He is their head, and all power belongs to Him. They are subject to Him as the members of our bodies are subject to our heads.</span><span style="color: #333399;">Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Mary = the Bride</u>»* </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he writes)</span>. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word<span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> (\[JBP\] Who knows what must be done with the Word? The Bride, the Church-Bride)</span>. She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has “thus saith the Lord.” Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its purpose.</span><span style="color: #333399;">Those in the bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now turn to 368 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 434 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\] of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals***</span>. Look, it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[352\]*</sup> That’s the reason the—the… 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 lets her go<span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> (\[JBP\] What is the Sixth Seal? Moses and Elijah)</span>. 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> (\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>in the morning</u>»*</span><span style="color: #333399;">…</span>\[JBP\] See, it was in the afternoon where the departure was, in other words, it was the sign that had to be applied for the departure. And it is in the morning where we will go out; because brother Branham says that the rapture will be between 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning,<sup>[26](#sdfootnote26sym)</sup> that is, in the morning, in the fourth watch. I think tomorrow the subject is something about the watches. See how everything is intertwined. Now he says:<span style="color: #333399;"><sup> *\[354\]*</sup> One morning</span> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>in the morning</u>»*</span><span style="color: #333399;">…</span>\[JBP\] That is, it also represents one morning, a new dispensational day.<span style="color: #333399;"><sup> *354*</sup> And I tell you, one morning 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.”</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, it goes on to say here (I am in <span style="color: #333399;">***The Ages***) <span style="color: #333399;">\[P. 172\]</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;">They have “thus saith the Lord” or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say here in the message <span style="color: #ff0000;">**“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN,”** says:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] Well, we can see that with the last garment we have, which is going to be the transfigured (the garment) body, that is what we will remain with forever <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that is, with the transformed body)</span>. Just as God will keep the last one He uses.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">With that garment we will see Him clothed as King; because He presents Himself, He reveals Himself to His chosen ones in the end time, when the battle of the age is over, when it has ended.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Then all together we will find ourselves in the Age of the Cornerstone where God presents Himself there dressed as King, as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as the Morning Star, the Star of David. And all these symbols that are in the Scripture will be fulfilled in the last manifestation of God in the midst of His People.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message:<span style="color: #ff0000;">**THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON OF GOD** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**(Ministers Meeting)** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Friday, April 4, 2003* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Bogota, Colombia*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Where is it that the great miracles take place? With Moses and Elijah. And where are the great miracles promised to be carried out? In a great Tent. In the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be the fulfillment of these great miracles.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Reverend William Branham only saw one day out of who knows how many days, of the manifestation of that Third Pull under the ministry of the Holy Spirit.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">When you can see that he saw a vision, and he saw a lot of people in a Tent, and he saw that there was preaching <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he saw that there was preaching)</span> and the sick were prayed for, and things happened, that is not the first day! It is a ministry that the Holy Spirit carries out, and he is shown beforehand a picture of what happens there on one of the days of that activity.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">That is why he said he wanted to put up a tent for many weeks, a few weeks; because he knows that a ministry like that, which is the ministry where the Third Pull, that stage will be manifested for the world, for the lost, for the Church (that is, Christianity) and for the Bride (the elect); that is not a ministry to be manifested in one day, but it takes many days.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And for a person to reach that level in that ministry, he must have started a long time before; because that ministry and that manifestation that he saw there corresponds to a ministry and a minister, a prophet already adopted.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now it will be in that last manifestation that God will be using (as it says there), in that last garment. He can’t fulfill the Tent Vision in preaching, in altar call, in prayer for the sick, in a veil of flesh that is already gone; it has to be in a veil of flesh that is alive, that is in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.On page 471 of the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals***, look at a small part here, when he is telling the Tent Vision; and what he wrote here in this book (I don’t know if I had already read what he writes there)… He is telling about how he taught how to fish. Look, let’s read from page 470 \[p. 561 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\]; it says at the bottom:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*291*</sup> I was standing with a—a little baby’s shoe, when He told me. Said, “Now make your First Pull. And when you do, the fish will run after the lure.” Said, “Then watch your Second Pull,” said, “because It’ll only be small fish.” He said, “Then the Third Pull will get it.”</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*292*</sup> And all them ministers got around me, said, “Brother Branham, we know you can do it! Hallelujah! Brother Branham!” That’s where I always get tied up, with a bunch of preachers. See? I love people. They want you to explain everything, this, that.</span>\[JBP\] And he also writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the problem is with the ministers</u>»*</span>. And also with some who think they are ministers and also know-it-alls, and think they know better; and that is where the problem comes from.\[JBP\] And on the back of that, of that page, he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the problem is with the ministers, they want explanation</u>»*</span>. \[JBP\] Now he says, he goes on to say:<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*293*</sup> And I said, “Well, uh, uh, uh,” I said, “I don’t know.” I said, “I’ve understand fishing. Now,” I said, “now, first thing you do… Here is the way it’s done. You see all the fish around; you got to jerk the lure.”</span>\[JBP\] Look, He is explaining there:<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[293\]*</sup> Well, that’s exactly the tactics of fishing. So I said, “Jerk the lure. Now, you see, when I jerked the lure, the first time, now the fish takes out after it.”</span>\[JBP\] He is explaining the exact way… (in the book of <span style="color: #333399;">*Quotations*) there the Angel tells him that he explained the exact way, the Angel was telling him, just as he explained that First Pull and the Second Pull.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[293\]*</sup> “Jerk the lure. Now, you see, when I jerked the lure, the first time, now the fish takes out after it.” But they were little ones. And that’s just like they were catching.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*294*</sup> So then I—I said, “Then you’ll—you’ll set…” And I jerked it out, on the bank. And I had a fish, but it looked like a skin over the lure, it was just… he was so little.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*295*</sup> And then I was standing there, and Something said, “I told you not to do that!”</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*296*</sup> I started crying. All the line was tangled around me, like this.</span>\[JBP\] Remember that when that happened, many started to also imitate brother Branham. And instead of taking the group —the ministers—, and tell them: *“Look, this is the one who taught us,”* or *“this is the man,”* to put and place the congregation, the people, to look at the manifestation of God in brother Branham, they went and did and tried to do the same thing that brother Branham did; and people, then, turned to look at them and not to the manifestation of God that God had in that time, which was our brother Branham.That is, they became imitators, when that happened, in the First Pull and Second Pull. And which, also in the Third Pull, they are also there: while it is being developed, you see that there are imitators.Instead of placing the congregation focused and looking towards where it was spoken, and was told and prophesied, which is the place where the manifestation of God is (and there will come a time in the culminating part of those miracles and wonders, and everything that would be happening there: from preaching, calling and all; even from its beginning), instead of focusing them there, look, more or less you see how they are doing, for them to do the same.See how the same thing happens. And the only one who imitates is the enemy, the adversary, Satan. Because when there is a false one there must be something real.That is why of the Third Pull it will not be spoken how it is that those things in the little room will be happening.<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333399;">\[***The Seals***\]</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*296*</sup> I started crying. All the line was tangled around me, like this. And I had…was standing there, crying, with my head down like that. I said, “God! Oh, I… Forgive me! I—I’m a stupid person. Lord, don’t… Forgive me.” And I—I had this line.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*297*</sup> And that, what I had in my hand, was a little baby’s shoe, about that long. And I had that string, was about as big around as my finger, about a half inch, like. And the eyelet in this shoe was just about the size of a…littler than a—a one-sixteenth, probably, of an inch, in the eyelet. And I was trying to lace this little shoe up, with this great big inch-cord. Huh!</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*298*</sup> A Voice come, said, “You can’t teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things.” Said, “Now, let them alone!”</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*299*</sup> And just then He picked me up. He took me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or a cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side. **And I seen that Light was talking to somebody** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>5th Elijah, 8th Age</u>»*</span>, **above me** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he writes): </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>7th age</u>»*</span>, that Light that you see there on the picture.</span>\[JBP\] And here he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Light was speaking to someone, to a prophet</u>»*</span>. In other words, he was speaking to that manifestation that God had there in human flesh.<span style="color: #333399;"><sup> *\[299\]*</sup> It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, “I’ll meet you there.” And said, “This will be the Third Pull, and you won’t tell It to nobody.”</span>\[JBP\] And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the 3rd Pull = produced silence</u>»*</span>. And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>½ hour of silence</u>»*</span>. And he also writes:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Tent = the 3rd Pull</u>»*.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>He was standing there</u>»*.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, that which he saw there (look) in the room, in a moment where he was speaking or was going to talk about the Sixth Seal, look… Page 376 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 443 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\] of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals***</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*418*</sup> Something happened today, and I seen something come up.

There He was, standing there, that little Light standing right there. And here It was. I know it’s the Truth.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*419*</sup> I thought, “O God, I couldn’t say that. I—I can’t say that. I can’t.” <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] And there are things there that I am not going to say)</span>. I just walked out of the room, went out, walked up-and-down. Brother, I thought, “My! What can I do? Oh!” See? And I—I have to go fishing, or something, or I… Boy, you’d… you… I can’t tell you.</span>\[JBP\] And he writes it in the form of a question: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>What could he not say?</u>»*</span>. \[JBP\] And that is what will be happening there.<sup>[27](#sdfootnote27sym)</sup>Now see that he says it here, where he says that <span style="color: #333399;">\[WMB\] “that Light was talking to someone else higher up,” and he writes:</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>he was standing there</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s continue here. Our brother William goes on to say in <span style="color: #ff0000;">**“THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON OF GOD”**:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] And now, we can see that the great miracles, says Reverend William Branham, are for whom? For Moses and Elijah. Not for Elijah in his fourth manifestation, but for Elijah in his fifth manifestation and Moses in his second manifestation. And there will be the authority, of whom? Of Jesus Christ our Savior, there He will be, and there will be the power of Jesus Christ, who said, “All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth.”<sup>[28](#sdfootnote28sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #ff0000;">That is the same power that He mentions in Revelation, chapter 2, verse 26 to 27, when He says:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end…”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">In other words, he will be in the end time, someone keeping the works of Christ.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“...and keepeth my works unto the end…”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Therefore, the works of Christ will be being manifested through that Overcomer</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“…to him will I give power over the nations.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">See? And now, the authority that God gave to Christ, Christ now gives to the Overcomer. It is the authority of God; it is not an earthly authority, but a heavenly authority; the authority of God through Christ being given to the Overcomer.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And it is an authority so great that it says:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“...I give power over the nations:*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">See? As Christ received it from the Father, He now transfers it to the Overcomer.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look with what authority is that that Overcomer will be able to do through the Word, and what is it that he will have in order to have that power. Look, it says, page 364<span style="color: #333399;"> \[p. 430 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\] of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals***</span>, it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*314*</sup> Blackness, darkness! Egypt; blackness, darkness!</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*315*</sup> God, delivering Jesus at the cross, just before He brought Him up from the resurrection. First, darkness; sun went down in the middle of the day, and stars wouldn’t shine. Two days from then, He was going to raise Him up with a mighty triumph.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*316*</sup> After the sun, and moon, and stars, and everything, in Egypt, all these taken place, He delivered Israel to the promised land.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*317*</sup> Here it is, in the Tribulation period, and here stands them prophets to who has the control of the Word that God gives them. They can only speak as God gives them the Word.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*318*</sup> Now, they’re not gods. They’re temporarily… Amateurly, they are, ’cause Jesus said they were. Said, “You call them gods, who the Word of God came.” But, look, that’s the ones that God brings the Word to. And when he speaks It, it happens.</span>\[JBP\] And he writes:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Adopted ministries on Mount Zion.</u>*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*<u>Moses and Elijah have the Title Deed</u>»*.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*319*</sup> And here he is with a commission from God, to smite the earth, whatever he wants to (oh, my), stop the heavens.

He is fixing to take the hundred and forty-four thousand out, for redemption, out of the Book of Redemption.</span>\[JBP\] Now, notice that this happens before the great tribulation begins; in other words, those ministries, when that happens, will already be adopted there. It says:<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[319\]*</sup> And that’s under the Seal of Redemption, in the Sixth Seal. That’s it, my dear friend. That’s that Sixth Seal; been so mysteriously.</span>\[JBP\] And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the 6th Seal = the Seal of Redemption</u>»*</span>. And he also writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The 144,000 are in the Book of Redemption</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, the 144,000… but let’s read something here real quick. Look, there are two tribes that were not counted. Look at chapter 7, verse 4 onwards \[Revelation\], there it speaks of the tribes; and notice that the tribe of Dan doesn’t appear there, it is not there.And we are going to see here in *The Seals* a place; because those two tribes were placed… Let’s read it here for a moment. Page 463 says, to have there everything that he is speaking about… He is reading from First Kings 12:25-30, which was when the kingdom of David was divided in the time of the sons of Solomon, with the northern kingdom, composed of the ten tribes, called: of Jeroboam, the tribe of Ephraim; and the southern tribes by Rehoboam (the northern tribes by Jeroboam and the southern tribes by Rehoboam), composed of two tribes, which is Judah and Benjamin.Now look there… Because that was for that… to place those golden calves. We would have to read all that history; but to not go down that line, but I wanted to read something here. And then, all of that, we are going to have to make a topic for the tribes.Now look here what it says on<span style="color: #333399;"> **page 463** \[p. 551 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\], it says<span style="color: #333399;"> \[***The Seals***\]</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*214*</sup> See, Ephraim at Bethel, and Dan, and they set up idols. And these went out to worship this.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*215*</sup> And here we are, plumb down into the Millennium age <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>the great tribulation</u>»*</span>, almost, and God still remembers that sin. They’re not even counted in there. Hey! Glory! \[Brother Branham claps his hands together once—Ed.\] Just as sure as He remembers every good promise, He remembers every one evil, too. Just remember, when…</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*216*</sup> That’s the reason I believe, friends, I’ve always tried to stay with that Word, no matter how strange It seems.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*217*</sup> See, now, they wouldn’t think about that there then. They didn’t think about it then. They thought, “Well, they got by with it.” All right.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*218*</sup> But here they are over here in this Millennium age setting in, when their names and tribes is “blotted out” from it, because they served idolatry, that God cursed.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*219*</sup> Didn’t He say He “hated” the Nicolaitanes and that Jezebel? Stay away from it. Didn’t He say He would kill Jezebel’s daughters with the killing of “death,” which is Eternal separation from His Presence? Don’t trust in it, at all. Get away from it. So, God remembers. Notice.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*220*</sup> But did you notice there, it was to be “blotted out”? Why? Under Heaven there was no immediate Sacrifice that could give him the Holy Spirit, to let him see these things. But he did it, anyhow, in his own selfish mind.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*221*</sup> But, Ezekiel, in his vision, in the Millennium, he sees them again in perfect order. Ezekiel, if you wanted to read it. Just put it down, and you can read it, to save time. Ezekiel 48:1 to 7, also read the 23 to 29. Ezekiel seen every tribe just exactly in order. All right.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*222*</sup> And, also, in Revelation 14, John seen them again in tribal order, that’s right, every tribe to his place. What happened?</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*223*</sup> You remember, He said, “Under the heavens, that his name would be blotted out of the tribal affair.” As long as he was under the heavens, there would be no more. And this hundred and forty-four thousand is down here in the tribal part, yet. Right. But, you see, they had been blinded. They had only the sacrifices of bulls and goats. See? Now notice, He blotted them out, “under the heaven.”</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*224*</sup> But the Gentile, in the days of the Holy Spirit, against That; your name was taken completely off the Book of Life <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] he writes): </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Book of Life</u>»*</span>, “and could never have forgiveness, in this world or the world to come.” That right? So there is where we stand.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*225*</sup> Israel, under goats, sheep, they—they did have a place. As long as they was on the earth here, their tribes was missing. They could never be included. Now, all…When He called them, over there, the hundred and forty-four thousand, they were missing. That’s right. They’re not even numbered in there. And Joseph and Levi is put in the place of Dan and Ephraim. Now you can look at that. Right there it is, before you, see. And here is God’s promise, way back there, hundreds and hundreds of years before that. \[Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit several times—Ed.\]</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*226*</sup> Now, what happened? They were purged during the time of the awful Tribulation period.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*227*</sup> Now, if God is going to purge that—that virgin, that was a good woman, but she just failed to get oil in her lamp, and He is going to purge her through persecution in there. He puts them tribes right in there, for the same thing, and purges them during the time of the Tribulation period. Because, it is a—a purging. It’s judgment.</span>\[JBP\] And he writes, notice, of these two tribes he writes:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>They do not have a specific amount</u>»*.</span>\[JBP\] And look what these two tribes represent:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The two tribes</u>*</span> (\[JBP\] he writes) <span style="color: #ff0000;">*<u>go through the tribulation; the foolish virgins are the type</u>»*</span>. \[JBP\] See what he goes on to say:<span style="color: #333399;"><sup> *\[227\]*</sup> But, you see, they, after… And, look here, here comes up the hundred and forty-four thousand, after the purging of Israel. And here comes up also the sleeping virgin, comes up, purged, and has white robes on. See? How perfect! How beautiful that is!</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*228*</sup> Just like Jacob, in the time of trouble, see.</span>\[JBP\] And there we have already opened the mystery of those two tribes that have no quantity in number; and see what that represents: which are the foolish virgins. And we can also talk about all that in that other Study.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, he goes on to say here where we stopped.<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] See? And now, the authority that God gave to Christ, now Christ gives it to the Overcomer. It is the authority of God; it is not an earthly authority, but heavenly; the authority of God through Christ being given to the Overcomer.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And it is an authority so great that it says:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“...I give power over the nations:*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">See? As Christ received it from the Father, He now transfers it to the Overcomer.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“And I will give him the morning star.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And in Revelation 22, verse 16, Christ says:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Therefore, the bright and Morning Star will be received by the Overcomer of the Last Day, and the bright and Morning Star will shine through the Overcomer. Christ will be shining through the Overcomer. Therefore, there will be the power of Christ and the authority of Christ under that ministry.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look, in a study where they placed an excerpt of the topic <span style="color: #333399;">**“THE GREAT WARRIOR, JOSHUA,”**<sup>**[29](#sdfootnote29sym)**</sup> it says… Here it says on page 3 or 4 of this message, it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*10*</sup> *Now, as Joshua, the leader first, in the wilderness where there was thousands times thousands of noblemen, yet Joshua seemed to realize that he was, positionally he was elected of God. And when he crossed and Moses died, then he was called of God. God called him out and give him a vision, and said, “Now, as I was with Moses, so will I be with you* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>as I was with Moses</u>»*</span>*. And no man shall stand before you all the days of your life.

And then he seen what the real visible thing was. Who do you think this Man was that was standing over against the wall? Now, Joshua knowing he’d had visions, how the Lord had spoke to him, and he knowed that he was God’s servant, and he wasn’t afraid. But when he went into the land, he crossed over, the manna ceased, and then the old corn, they begin to eat it.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*And one day while strolling along in the wilderness, coming from Jer—from Jordan up to Jericho, rocky, hilly, desert, wilderness like place, walking along there he seen a Man. And the Man stood and drew His sword, just a Man, looked like a man. And Joshua, perhaps being a chief warrior, drew his sword too, walked to meet Him, said, “Who are You? Are You for us, or are You our adversary?”*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*The Man I could see lift His sword high, say, “No, I’m the Captain of the host of the Lord—of the God of Israel.”*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*The Captain of the host, Who was this Captain of the host? Joshua reached down and unloosened his shoes, fell on his face before Him, and said, “What would the Lord have me do?”*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*12*</sup> *You see, after he had been—he was getting his position then. He was to be the greatest military man that’s ever been on the face of the earth* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> *\[WSS\] «<u>Joshua: the greatest general</u>»*</span>*. There’s never been a general like Joshua, no time, no age, nowhere has ever been compared with Joshua.

It was the Captain, in other words, the Leader of the host of Israel. And that leader was none other than Christ Himself. And what was He first seen in? A Pillar of Fire. And now the Pillar of Fire had become a man. I hope you know what I’m talking about. He had become a man.*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The Pillar of Fire became a Man</u>»*</span>. \[JBP\] And the Pillar of Fire is seen in a Great Tent Cathedral.<span style="color: #ff0000;">**THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**(Ministers Meeting)** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Saturday, December 2, 2006* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Cayey, Puerto Rico*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, the one who had the Seventh Seal is the Angel who lifted him up.

Perez*\] He goes on to say <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[**“JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] And in that Reclaiming Work…</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] Notice, in that Reclaiming Work; that is the Work that God will be carrying out through His final manifestation, after He finishes the Work of Intercession.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] And in that Reclaiming Work is that the dead in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies, and those of us who are alive will be transformed; it is a promise for all of us.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58, and First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 12 to 17, we find those promises given by God through Saint Paul, where he speaks of the Last Trumpet, and the transformation of those of us who are alive and the resurrection of the dead in Christ.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And there is one place where he tells us that on the Day of Pentecost there was like thunder, a thunder from heaven. It is in the message<span style="color: #333399;"> **“WHAT IS THE HOLY GHOST?”**<sup>**[35](#sdfootnote35sym)**</sup> page 27, it says (in one part here it says):</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*103*</sup> *Now turn right across the page, watch these prophecies come to pass.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were in one… they were all with one accord in one place.*</span>(\[JBP\] And there he makes a…).<span style="color: #333399;">*“And all of a sudden the pastor came in and…”? I got off the line there, didn’t I? “All of a sudden the priest come on the altar”? No.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*And suddenly there came a sound…*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>today it will be the Thunders</u>»*</span>. \[JBP\] Where? In the Upper Room, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.<span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[103\]*</sup> *Not just a make-belief; It was there, a sound.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*“A minister was approaching the door”? “The priest had the communion, coming out of the holy place”? No, nothing like that.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*…there came a sound from heaven… (Not the rustling of a feet)…there came a sound from heaven as…a rushing mighty wind (Oh, my! Whew!…?…)…and it filled all the house where they were setting.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*104 What is the Holy Ghost? Here is where they get Power. Here is where they’re supposed to wait; here is what happened when they did it. All prophesied, from Genesis right on up, from Abraham right on through; It would come, and how It would come, and the results would come. What is It? Promised to the Church, to believers.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">*…and filled all the house where they were sitting.*</span><span style="color: #333399;">***And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like… of fire, and it sat upon each of them**.*</span><span style="color: #000000;">\[JBP\] And here is where I rejoiced very much, when I read what he wrote. Look at what happened there on the Day of Pentecost: cloven tongues like fire. And look at what he writes!:</span><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333399;">\[WMB\] *“**...and it sat upon each of them.**”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>today it will be the theophanic body today</u>».*</span>\[JBP\] That is, your theophanic body that will rest upon that perishable body and transform it! That is the promise for us, for this time. And that happened there in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost; and this will happen in the Upper Room of the Age of the Cornerstone, of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.The Dispensation of Grace produced in us the promise of the theophanic body created by God in the sixth dimension; and the Dispensation of the Kingdom will produce in us the eternal and glorified body.<span style="color: #333399;"><sup> *\[104\]*</sup> *And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and begin to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.*</span>\[JBP\] And there is what is fulfilled of that group: that it will place the Word right, they will be able to place the Word well; but it will be through divine guidance, all that will be done in those 30 to 40 days.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And he continues here. Already to finish, it says<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] All that Christ will be doing in the midst of His Church through His manifestation in human flesh, to then bring the rapture, to perform the rapture or catching away of the elect, and to be taken to the House of our heavenly Father, to the seventh dimension, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. All this will be done by Christ our Savior, the King of kings and Lord of lords.</span>\[JBP\] And I believe that it has not been spoken more clearly. I believe it has been spoken quite clearly. And as he said there: “The wise will understand”: Those who will be transformed will believe it with all their heart; and if there is something that they don’t understand on the way, God will let them know, they will understand, so that they may obtain that perfect Faith completely: the Rapturing Faith.May God help us to fully know the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.May God bless you, may God keep you. And thank you very much for your attention. I think we are past one hour, right? What time is it? 11:30 already. I think we passed two hours.But when one enters into the mysteries of God and when one enters into His presence, there is no limit there; because it is the Word that you and I need so that soon we will have that perfect Faith; which is why this place was made.Because a Great Tent Cathedral was made to fulfill the greatest purpose that God had in store; the greatest promise that He had reserved since before the foundation of the world: that in The Great Tent Cathedral He was going to prepare sons and daughters of God in His image and likeness.So look if this place is not important. Of course it is! Because it is the place where He is fulfilling His promise: that there —here!— is where He would be imparting the Rapturing Faith, the faith to be transformed.May God bless you, may God keep you.And the topic for this occasion: <span style="color: #00ccff;">**“THE INCARNATE WORD,”** in you and in me.</span>May God bless you and may God keep you all.With us again our brother William Perez, Reverend William Perez, my faithful co-pastor, here with us.\* \* \* <div> [1](#sdfootnote1anc) 60-0311 – “Mary’s Belief,” p. 6, para. 18
