<span class="wss"><u>BIBLE STUDY #482 – FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2025</u></span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Good afternoon to all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite. Today, Friday, January 17th of this year 2025, our subject is:</span>

<span class="wss">**THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION**</span>

<span class="wss">**(Ministers’ Meeting)**</span>

<span class="wss">*Dr. William Soto Santiago*</span>

<span class="wss">*Wednesday, October 1, 2008*</span>

<span class="wss">*Bogota, Colombia*</span>

<span class="wss">**Scripture:**</span> <span class="wss">**1 Corinthians 15:45-54**</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] And the Scripture there, that we have on this occasion, the one that he used there: of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 45 and on (and let’s search in our Bibles there); let’s start on verse 44 of chapter 15; it tells us:</span>

<span class="jbp">**1 Corinthians 15:44**</span>

<span class="wss">*44 It is sown a natural body* </span><span class="blue jbp">(\[JBP\] here, in this Bible, he writes on top):</span> <span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>it was inherited from the serpent</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»* </span><span class="blue jbp">(\[JBP\] </span><span class="blue jbp">there he draws a Star of David on the left)</span><span class="wss">*; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.*</span>

<span class="wss">*45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening* </span><span class="wss">***spirit***</span><span class="wss">*.*</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] In </span><span class="jbp">“spirit”</span><span class="blue jbp"> he writes:</span> <span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Theophany</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red wss">.</span>

<span class="wss">*46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.*</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] </span><span class="blue jbp">He draws a Star of David on the left.</span>

<span class="wss">*47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.*</span>

<span class="wss">*48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.*</span>

<span class="wss">*49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.*</span>

<span class="wss">*50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.*</span>

<span class="wss">*51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,*</span>

<span class="wss">*52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.*</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] </span><span class="blue jbp">Here, in this Bible, he draws at the top, in the margin, a Cornerstone and the ages. The last two ages there, he draws them an eye on each one, and an eye in the Cornerstone as well.</span>

“<span class="jbp">In the twinkling of an eye,”</span><span class="blue jbp"> there it shows us that it is through a prophet.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">There are other drawings where in the Cornerstone he draws two eyes, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, those two ministries; but in this case, he drew one eye, because there he is showing that it is through a veil of flesh, through a prophet; which is</span><span class="blue jbp"> is achieved</span><span class="blue jbp"> from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation.</span>

<span class="wss">*53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.*</span>

<span class="wss">*54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.*</span>

<span class="red jbp">**THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION**</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] In the message </span><span class="red jbp">“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION,”</span><span class="jbp"> which was preached on Friday, September 18, 2009, in Veracruz, Mexico, our brother William tells us:</span>

<span class="red wss">**THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION** </span>

<span class="red wss">*Dr. William Soto Santiago*</span>

<span class="red wss">*Friday, September 18, 2009*</span>

<span class="red wss">*Veracruz, Mexico*</span>

<span class="red">“<span class="wss">At the Last Trump.” There is a divine order here for the adoption of all the children of God.</span></span>

<span class="red wss">It’s not a matter of the person saying: “I am a believer in Christ and I don’t have to know anything about that Program of Adoption in order to be adopted.” There is a Program of Adoption, and therefore, according to that Program, the adoption will come for those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And those who will be adopted are the ones who will know that Program, that divine order; the rest don’t need to know about it if they’re not going to be transformed…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice, that’s why some believe and others don’t. It’s he who believes, and it’s for he who believes, that those requirements are shown, made known; it’s for them, for those who are going to be transformed.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">For the rest: that order, those steps, those requirements for the transformation, will not matter; because since they aren’t going to be transformed, well, it doesn’t concern them.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Instead, some, if they allow themselves to be used by the enemy, become instruments, or are used by the wicked one as instruments to fight against, to attack God’s Program that He is carrying out at this end time; the Program for each elect of God to obtain the requirements, the steps, to obtain the eternal and glorified body, that is, the Rapturing Faith.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Whoever will not be transformed, well, he doesn’t need to receive the Rapturing Faith. As simple as that. And that is how the elect of God can identify at this time: who will be transformed and who won’t be transformed.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Dr. William Soto goes on to say:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … but those who will be transformed will know it, they will believe it and obtain the faith to be transformed.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now notice how it was in Noah’s time; which here in the message </span><span class="purple jbp">**“A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED,”**</span><span class="jbp"> there it shows us that Noah carried out the preparations: at that time it was to build an ark. Look, on page 11 of this message, of this version, Reverend William Branham tells us:</span>

<span class="purple cita">\[61-1112 - “A True Sign That’s Overlooked,” pp. 9-10, paras. 48-52\]</span>

<span class="purple wss">*48 Noah was a sign in his day, to the people, of the coming judgment. Noah in his day was considered a fanatic. He was a prophet. He was considered one that did not have good mind. And the man hammered away, for year after year, building an ark, when there’s not even water on the earth but what was in the springs. And he predicted something that was ridiculous, to the carnal mind. He said, “There’s coming water from up in the sky.”*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*49 No doubt, that many would say to him, “Show me where it’s at.”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] It seems like that also…, notice, not only in the time of Noah, but in all times, the unbelievers and make-believers, the time also comes when they rise against and start to question: </span><span class="jbp">*“Let’s see, show me this, show me that. Where is that?”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, more so at this time, when the Thunders, notice, John was forbidden to write it; because the Thunders contain the Rapturing Faith, the Thunders contain the Coming of the Lord: how It would be, when It would be and how He would come; that is, all the details.</span>

<span class="jbp">But John was forbidden to write it, and he was told… Let’s see that little part there, where John was told: “Don’t write It, let it pass; because otherwise, they’ll stagger over that.” Look, that is - notice, that is on </span><span class="purple jbp">page 117 \[p. 136 in Eng. (First Seal)\]</span><span class="jbp"> of the book of </span><span class="purple jbp">***The Seals***</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[166\] See? Oh, my! But, think now, he wrote This.</span>

<span class="purple wss">167 But when he started to write those other, Seven Thunders, He said, “Don’t write It.” He had been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these Seven Thunders, over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, “Don’t write Them, at all.” They are mysteries. We don’t know what they are yet. But, my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church to move out </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] Who is it for? It’s for the Bride; not for anyone else)</span><span class="purple wss">. See?</span>

<span class="purple wss">168 We’ve just moved through everything that we know of, through all the dispensations. We’ve watched everything. We seen the mysteries of God. We seen the appearing of the—of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] There on top of that paragraph, he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The Thunders: Faith for Rapture</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»* </span><span class="jbp">(in this book).</span>

<span class="jbp">And in this other one…, let’s see here…, 117; there on top of that paragraph he writes:</span>

<span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The 7 Thunders and the Rapturing Faith</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">And also in this one, in the red one, on the left side he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Thunders</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">And he also writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Faith</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[168\] But, yet, there is something in There that we just can’t lighten ourself with. There is something other.</span>

<span class="purple wss">169 But I imagine, when them mysteries begins to come forth </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] that is, when all of that begins to be fulfilled)</span><span class="purple wss">, God said, “Hold It back now. Wait a minute. I’ll reveal It in that day. Don’t write It, at all, John, ’cause they’ll stagger over It.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And always, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, the part that people stagger on is with the veil of flesh, with the fulfillment of the prophecy.</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[169\] Just—just let it go, see. </span><span class="purple wss">**But I’ll reveal It in that day**</span> <span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] and he writes): </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>8th Day</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»* </span><span class="purple wss">**when it has need to be done**</span><span class="purple wss">.”</span>

<span class="purple wss">170 They never uttered for nothing. Remember, like the little drop of ink, everything is for a purpose. Everything is for a cause. But, notice, the Creator uttered. And he—he heard this Voice, and he went to see.</span>

<span class="purple wss">171 But now the Lamb is showing John, in the symbol of…of a—of a church scripture, like, for the church to know. What to write, He just show him. Said, “Now, don’t—don’t tell this, just what it is. Don’t go down, John, and say, ‘Now, this is just what this is, of what’s under this Seventh Seal.’…”</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] See? What is under the Seventh Seal? It’s the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. And there John, if he had started writing it, he could have even written the name of the instrument in whom He would be fulfilling the Coming, His Coming.</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[171\] “…Don’t, don’t go down and tell that. For, if I tell John that, then all down through the age, the whole plan will be broke. It’s a secret.” See? He just wants…His Coming! He said, now, “And nobody is going to know when I’m coming. I’m just coming.” See? See? That’s all. It ain’t for my business to know when. I’ll just be ready…</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And how would the Church-Bride be ready? Well by seeing and receiving and hearing those requirements to obtain that Rapturing Faith, and to be able to receive Him and to be able to believe in Him.</span>

<span class="jbp">Now, he goes on to say here… Here</span><span class="jbp"> in the other book, on page 117, is where he draws a Cornerstone</span><span class="jbp">, and he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>7th Seal</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span> <span class="jbp">on the right, there in that last paragraph we read.</span>

<span class="jbp">And on the left he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Future</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">In the previous paragraph, where it says: </span><span class="purple jbp">“I’ll reveal It in that day when it has need to be done,” </span><span class="jbp">on the left a Cornerstone.</span>

<span class="jbp">And on the right: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Need to be known</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] This is the time when the Church-Bride has that need; and God is fulfilling to each one of His children, He is fulfilling that need for them; meaning, He is making known to them what John was forbidden to write; He is revealing… what He said to John: “I will reveal it in that day,” this is that day!: the Eight Day, the Age of the Cornerstone. That mystery is being made known today!</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, it goes on to say here, on page 12, in the message </span><span class="purple jbp">**“A TRUE SIGN THAT'S OVERLOOKED”**</span><span class="jbp"> (which we were reading a few minutes ago), it says:</span>

<span class="purple wss">*50 And while there was yet no water in sight…*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Let’s look at the previous paragraph, because we stopped where it says… let’s look:</span>

<span class="purple wss">*49 No doubt, that many would say to him, “Show me where it’s at”* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] that’s where we left off)</span><span class="purple wss">*. The science would say, “I can prove there’s no water up there.” The science would say, “I can prove there’s no water up there.”*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*But, yet, if God told him that it was coming from the skies, God will see to it that His Word is fulfilled.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*50 And while there was yet no water in sight, while there had never been a cloud in the skies, never had rained a drop, there never, wasn’t such a thing as rain, yet, all the time, Noah was preparing an ark for the rain. It was a living evidence that this prophet believed what he was talking about, for he was making ready for it.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*51 And any persons that really believe what you’re talking about, you’ll make ready for it.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And he writes in a Bible study, in that portion, he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The evidence of believing: to make yourself ready to receive what God has promised</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*».*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*52 May I stop right here, just a minute. “On the day of Noah,” as Jesus said, “so will it be in the coming of the Son of man.” If the churches, today, believe what they’re talking about, they would practice what they say.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now, a bit further on, in this same message, page 13 </span><span class="purple jbp">\[</span><span class="purple jbp">**“A TRUE SIGN THAT'S OVERLOOKED”**</span><span class="purple jbp">\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple cita">\[61-1112 - “A True Sign That’s Overlooked,” p. 11, paras. 58-61\]</span>

<span class="purple wss">*58 But, Noah, a neurotic, considered in that day, through the foolishness of preaching, and performing a sign before the people, giving them warning, condemned the world. “Condemned the world, by building an ark,” when there was no water for it to float in. “He condemned the world,” the Bible said, Hebrews, 11th chapter. “He condemned the world and saved his own house, by preparing,” and being a sign for God, of the oncoming judgments of that day. What a glorious thing!*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*59 Later years, there come another sign. That was Moses, a prophet. That was God’s sign to Israel. They had been four hundred years in bondage. And God prepared a sign for them, just before deliverance. And he was a sign of deliverance to Israel, and a sign of judgment to Egypt.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*60 Noah was a sign of deliverance to his people, and a sign of judgment to the lost world, the unbeliever. The very waters that choked the world and drowned the world was the only means of saving Noah.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*The only thing that could save him was the judgment. The only thing that’ll save the Church today is the judgment, God laying the judgment to the plummet.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*But Noah preached the same. He become a sign.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*61 And now Israel, after four hundred years, they begin to cry out for deliverance. And God never reveals Himself and shows Himself until His people are ready to receive what He shows.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] </span><span class="jbp">And on the left he draws a Star of David.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, our brother William goes on to say here, in the message </span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION,”**</span><span class="jbp"> where we were reading:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] Just as there is an order to receive salvation and eternal life, and to receive the Holy Spirit and obtain the new birth, </span><span class="red wss">and</span><span class="red wss"> therefore obtain the spiritual adoption; and everything revolves around the First Coming of Christ, to receive the spiritual adoption and obtain eternal life in our soul.</span>

<span class="red wss">And now, “there is a mystery” Paul said; and </span><span class="red wss">if </span><span class="red wss">he said that it (what he is speaking about here) is a mystery, then it is. He says… </span><span class="red wss">he says</span><span class="red wss"> that it will be at the Last Trumpet. Then some people think: “Well, </span><span class="red wss">there will - </span><span class="red wss">there will be an angel with a trumpet there, sounding that trumpet.” Look, that is more difficult than what it really means. An angel is a messenger and that Last Trumpet is the Voice of God, the Voice of Christ speaking on this Earth to His people, to His Church.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And a bit further on, in this same message, our brother William goes on to say:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] (…) We have seen that the Gospel of the Kingdom is none other than God’s Last Message, the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, and that is the Message that the Hebrew people will hear; that is why the Hebrew people as a nation haven’t wanted to hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, they can’t believe; because the Message that they will hear is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, that is the Message that the Angel of Revelation, chapter 7, will come with, who comes to seal, to call and seal 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe: chapter 7, verse 1 and on; and in Revelation, chapter 14, verse 1 to 5, they already appear sealed in their foreheads with their Father’s Name, and with the Name of the Lamb in their foreheads, in other words, with the knowledge of the Name of God, the Father and the Name of Jesus Christ. That already appears in Revelation, chapter 14, verses 1 to 15.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] And it’s not the name Jesus, because they were persecuted with the name of Jesus. And notice, under that name, and with that name of Redemption and for Redemption, He was not received there in the midst of the Hebrew people; but with the new name He will be.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] Now, in Revelation we find that there is a prophetic message for all nations.</span>

<span class="red wss">That’s why when the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, which is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant with the little Book open in His hand, the Book that was sealed in Heaven with seven Seals, in Revelation, chapter 5…; and It is taken by Christ, the Lamb, which is also the Lion of the tribe of Judah; and He takes It once He already finishes His Work of Intercession and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah.</span>

<span class="red wss">John knew Him as the Lamb of God, but the elder tells him that He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. </span>

<span class="red wss">He is starting His Claiming Work, taking the Book to carry out His Claiming Work…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice when that Claiming Work begins: When He rises up from the Throne and takes the Book; by standing up, that is already the sign of where that work begins; it begins progressively.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Now, when He stands up from the Throne, remember that this is when that half hour of silence begins; which is happening now, in our midst, in our time; the half hour already started a while ago.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] He is starting His Claiming Work, taking the Book to carry out His Claiming Work, claiming everything He has redeemed with His Blood: resurrecting the dead believers in Him into glorified bodies, and transforming the living. That is in the Claiming Work of Christ as Lion of the tribe of Judah; and all that is contained in the Gospel of the Kingdom.</span>

<span class="red wss">And now, He gives the Title Deed to a man in Revelation, chapter 10, for him to eat It, and then He says to him \[verse 11\]:</span>

<span class="red">“<span class="wss">*Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”*</span></span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] When does that happen? When He leaves the Throne of intercession.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Therefore, He couldn’t leave from there until the last elect was redeemed, cast in the Bleach (meaning, the Blood), under that Work that He carried out on Calvary’s Cross two thousand years ago, in His First Coming, fulfilling the Work of Redemption for everyone who believes in Him.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">But notice that as long as all of that was being carried out, as long as the Door of the Dispensation of Grace was open, He was on the Throne making intercession. The Title had not been taken yet, and It had not been opened in Heaven; because that still laid in the future.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Which, in the book of </span><span class="purple jbp">*The Seals* </span><span class="blue jbp">he speaks to us in several places, where he spoke everything as if it were happening, but he said: </span><span class="purple jbp">\[WMB\] “But this lies in the future.” </span><span class="purple cita">\[</span><span class="purple cita">*The Seals*</span><span class="purple cita">, “The Breach…,” p. 106, para. 291\]</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Now notice, until 2018 that hadn’t taken place yet; but then that instrument, notice, said that time should be no more; that instrument, through whom God spoke at that time, and he was proclaiming that time was over, that is, the time of the Dispensation of Grace; because God works through His instruments, His veils of flesh, His prophets.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] </span><span class="red wss">*“Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”*</span>

<span class="red wss">John the apostle represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ along with all the messengers that the Church of the Lord would have.</span>

<span class="red wss">At the Last Day, the Mighty Angel comes down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand; and that is the Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, It is the Book of Redemption, It is the Title Deed of eternal life; for which that Book must be opened in Heaven, be brought to Earth, in order to carry out the physical Work of Redemption, of the redemption of the physical body.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Because remember, without the Title Deed on Earth, the Claiming Work couldn’t be carried out, there could be no claim; in other words, every child of God, by receiving the Word, the revelation, the content, the Rapturing Faith, which is contained in that Book, that Title Deed, wouldn’t be able to claim the eternal, glorified body, nor the Earth, the universe, everything; because everything belongs to us.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Therefore, the Title Deed has to be on Earth to carry out that work; and on Earth is where He carries out that Claiming Work. And that Title, notice, is made known on Earth.

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] And now, notice, the Book is given to a man for him to eat It, and then He is told: “You must prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues.” If the one who eats It is going to prophecy, what must he be? A prophet; and so he must come with a prophetic Message that will be making known all the things that will come to pass; and then it goes on to Revelation 11, which is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees.</span>

<span class="red wss">In Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, it says: “He shall send His Angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet, and They shall gather together His elect, from one end of Heaven to the other.” Those Angels are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews.</span>

<span class="red wss">Those ministries correspond to Moses and Elijah, to the ministry of the Two Olive Trees; and the call of the 144,000 (12,000 from each tribe) corresponds to the Two Olive Trees with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Last Trumpet, the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 on.</span>

<span class="red wss">That is the Great Trumpet that Christ spoke of, It is the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Everlasting Gospel, the Message that the Hebrew people will hear and believe.</span>

<span class="red wss">When you see the Hebrew people and their leaders drawing near to some part of Christianity, remember, something is moving in the Divine Program. They are searching for a man, for a prophet, that is why they don’t receive preachers; because they were ordained by God to only believe a prophet: “The Lord your God will raise up unto you a prophet (Moses says) like unto me; unto him you shall hearken.” (Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 15 to 19).</span>

<span class="red wss">And further on it says: “The Lord, your God, shall raise up a prophet from among your brethren, and will put…” God says: “I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak all that I shall command him. And whosoever will not hear what he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him.” \[</span><span class="cita">Deuteronomy 18:18-19</span><span class="red wss">\]</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B.

Let’s search here in the book of </span><span class="purple jbp">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”**</span><span class="jbp"> where it tells us…, on page… 124 (in the other version it’s 143; in this one it’s 124), he says:</span>

<span class="purple wss">169 When the Church goes up…</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now, remember, when it goes up to where? To the Age of the Cornerstone.</span>

<span class="purple wss">169 When the Church goes up; then the confederation, the sleeping virgin, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and lukewarm Pentecost, all of them together with a confederation. Which, they’ve already got their big regime now. And when they do, they’ll make a covenant. And, well, now, this new pope that we got now wants to bring them all in. Can’t you see the thing heaping right up? Going to give a talk on it, and bring them all in, first time for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years; a thousand years, or two, it’s ever been done. But now he is to bring them all in, together, and make a confederation, and in there the Jews will accept it.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Whom? That movement; but notice that it is led by the pope, who is the antichrist, the beast, the man of sin, who deceives them.</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[169\] Oh, my!

Praise be to our God Who lives forever and ever! There you are! Now, brother, it’s just as simple, as simple as a little kid could see it. The confederation of bringing Jewish, and Protestant, and Catholic, together.</span>

<span class="purple wss">And, remember, what’s these two prophets going to do when they come?</span>

<span class="purple wss">170 This beast, this prince that shall scatter the power of the holy people, what will he do? He will break his covenant with them. After three and a half years, he’ll oust them. Now, people thinks that’s communism.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, there’s something very beautiful here, and very glorious. Because notice that all of that takes place before the great tribulation begins, because those Jews are sealed before the great tribulation begins; which, we see that there on page 359, where…, 358 at the bottom </span><span class="purple jbp">\[</span><span class="purple jbp">***The Seals***</span><span class="purple jbp">\] \[P. 412\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">260 Now, Jacob, as he come up now (...), he got a longing to go (where?) back to the homeland.</span>

<span class="purple wss">261 Oh, that’s exactly what Israel has done! (...) He just had his name changed, you know. See? And he’s…</span>

<span class="purple wss">262 He got out there, and he got all the money he had, and he could get, and took it any way he could, from his kinsfolks or anybody else. So, cheating, stealing, lying, any way he could get it, he got it. See? He did.</span>

<span class="purple wss">263 And then when he starts back to home, he got to get a homesick feeling in his heart. But as he started back, on his road going back, he met God, then his name was changed. See? But, in this time, he was so worried, because he was afraid Esau </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] now, remember that Esau is Rome) </span><span class="purple wss">was coming after him. See?</span>

<span class="purple wss">264 And—and watch, watch the money, the money proposition. Just like the Jew will try making this covenant with—with Rome, see, in their money proposition.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] With whom? With Rome; and Rome, well, led by the antichrist, the man of sin, in other words, the pope.</span>

<span class="jbp">And he writes there on top: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The covenant with Rome</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[264\] Notice it. That Esau didn’t need his money; neither does Rome. She’s got the wealth of the world in her hand.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice, that’s the one who comes in his own name; and him they will receive. But then…, where we paused, in </span><span class="purple jbp">“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”</span><span class="jbp"> we are going to read there who is the one that tells them their mistake.</span>

<span class="jbp">Notice, let’s continue here in the book of </span><span class="purple jbp">***The Seals***</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">265 But we find out now, that Israel, in that time of trouble </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] there he writes): </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>by Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="purple wss">, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the…that got a hold of Something that was real. There was a Man come down. Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the—and the—the Fellow said, “I must be going now. It’s coming daylight.” Oh, that breaking-of-the-day</span> <span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>7th Millennium</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] he writes there)</span><span class="purple wss">! See? It was fixing to come day.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And on the right he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The Day = the Millennium</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*».*</span>

<span class="jbp">And on the left he also writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Rev. 10:1-7</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*».*</span>

<span class="purple wss">266 But Jacob said, “I—I’m not going to leave You. You, You can’t go. I’m going to stay right with You.” See? “I want things changed here.”</span>

<span class="purple wss">267 That’s that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money-scheming bunch, and things like that, when they see the true, genuine thing to get a hold of. There stands Moses, and there stands Elijah </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] See? And right now we are going to read what he says)</span><span class="purple wss">. Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.</span>

<span class="purple wss">268 That’s just before the Tribulation period…</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Therefore, we are seeing there that if that happens before the great tribulation, and there in </span><span class="purple jbp">“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”</span><span class="jbp"> he is telling us that it’s at the end of the three and a half years… Now, those three and a half years beforehand, is where that covenant is taking place in that moment between the Hebrew people and Rome; which they break at the end.</span>

<span class="jbp">Now, all of that is unfolding, and it opens up more and more, as the prophecy is being fulfilled, as the fulfillment of each thing is made known as it is fulfilled.</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[269\] … them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist. “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel!” Repent what? “Repent from your sins, your unbelief, and turn back to God!”</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Notice, that’s where the Feast of Atonement comes in.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, notice, here it continues to tell us, where we paused, in </span><span class="purple jbp">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL”**</span><span class="purple jbp"> \[P. 106\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[170\] Now, people thinks that’s communism. That’s just ’cause you…The Spirit of God hasn’t dealt with you yet. It’s not communism; it’s religion. The Bible said, “It’d be so close till it’d deceive the very Elected if possible.” Jesus said so. See, we’re in the last.</span>

<span class="purple wss">171 Now, these two prophets, what will they do? It’s Moses and Elijah that will rise on the scene </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] meaning, at that time, it says there)</span><span class="purple wss">. They’ll tell those Jews their mistake </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] and he writes there on the left): </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>the mistake of the Jews is joining the Confederation </u>*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>of Churches</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="purple wss">. And out of that Jewish bunch that’s there now, to be the hundred and forty-four thousand, God will call by these prophets. What is it?</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now, if </span><span class="purple jbp">“God will call by these prophets,” </span><span class="jbp">now, notice that in the book of </span><span class="purple jbp">*The Seals*</span><span class="jbp"> he told us that this would take place before the great tribulation; so He has to have that instrument, that veil of flesh, in the midst of the Church-Bride, to carry out that Work in favor of the Hebrew people as well; because the Third Pull is for the Church-Bride, for the church, the foolish, and for the lost, and for the world (in other words, the 144,000 are included there).</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[171\] What is it? The Spirit of Elijah </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] and he writes): </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>the 5th Elijah</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="purple wss">, off of this Gentile Church, will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call; Moses with him </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] that is, the ministry of Moses, a dispensational ministry)</span><span class="purple wss">. Hallelujah! You see it? And he will preach the same message of pentecost, to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now, you can continue there. We’ve read that on other occasions</span><span class="jbp">\*</span><span class="jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, let’s continue here, where we paused, in the message that we are reading: </span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION;”**</span><span class="jbp"> it says:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] ​​ That prophecy is partially fulfilled in every prophet that God has sent, but it is fully fulfilled in the Messiah in His First Coming and in His Second Coming. A prophet like Moses, a dispensational prophet, with a dispensational message; at the Last Day, It will be the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.</span>

<span class="red wss">And now, let’s turn to Revelation, chapter 14, verses 6 to 7 here, where we will see that messenger:</span>

<span class="red">“<span class="wss">*And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth* </span></span><span class="red wss">(and if he is going to preach It </span><span class="blue jbp">(\[JBP\] brother William says) </span><span class="red wss">to them that dwell on the Earth, then he has to be on the Earth and he must be a prophet)</span><span class="red wss">*…”*</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Now, notice how simple and how clear it is. But at the same time, notice, for the one who will not be transformed, he cannot understand this, he cannot comprehend it, and he thinks it’s another way, a different way; and they start adding the Message and interpreting It, and giving It their own interpretation of what brother Branham wanted to say and what Dr. William Soto Santiago wanted to say.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">But the elect will be seeing the fulfillment of that prophecy. Notice, They have to be seeing a prophet bringing that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Which message? The platform that was brought to us, the foundation that was brought to us by His forerunner: Reverend William Branham; and also the Good Tidings, the news, that Dr. William Soto Santiago brought us. As simple as that.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] </span><span class="red wss">*“...and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,*</span>

<span class="red wss">*Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”*</span>

<span class="red wss">He comes teaching to worship God, to serve God, teaching how to serve God, how to worship God, stimulating the people to seek God, and showing mankind that the hour of His judgment, of the divine judgment, has come; in other words, that messenger comes a bit before the great tribulation…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] </span><span class="red jbp">“A bit before,”</span><span class="blue jbp"> notice, that messenger is supposed to be there. In other words, a living instrument who is in the midst of the Church-Bride.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … before the great tribulation begins with the Everlasting Gospel, which is the Gospel of the Kingdom.</span>

<span class="red wss">We have already seen that this messenger will be a prophet who will come prophesying before many nations, people and tongues; just as Moses did: prophesying the things that would happen in Egypt, and just as Elijah prophesied as well.</span>

<span class="red wss">And now, at this end time, this messenger who will come will have the Final Message of God, the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet. In the time when he is giving His Message, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him and will transform the living believers in Christ…</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice, in the time of the angel messengers of the ages, that didn’t take place. Although Paul said: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed”; he was there in the first age, speaking of that promise, but it wasn’t at that time.</span>

<span class="jbp">Everyone was expecting that in the time of Paul, speaking such great revelation, notice, the resurrection and the transformation would take place; because it was in the time when a living messenger would be speaking, proclaiming the day of vengeance, would be proclaiming the Great Voice of Trumpet, and the dead would resurrect.</span>

<span class="jbp">No messenger of the ages… Nor in the time of the seventh angel messenger of the seventh gentile Church age, Reverend William Branham, in the spirit and power of Elijah in his fourth manifestation there in North America; for whoever wishes to receive him: he is the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord.</span>

<span class="jbp">And the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels at this end time, in Its fulfillment, is what vindicates and will be the final vindication that Reverend William Branham was the forerunner of His Coming.</span>

<span class="jbp">Now, it didn’t take place in his time, neither the resurrection nor the transformation took place in his time; in the time of Archangel Gabriel, there in the time when he was giving those Good Tidings to Mary, Jesus’ mother, the resurrection didn’t take place there in that time either. And at this time, in the time of Dr. William Soto Santiago, the resurrection didn’t take place either.</span>

<span class="jbp">So, the One who was forerun must come; who is the fulfillment of what was forerun (back in the time of Jesus two thousand years ago) by John the Baptist; he foreran the Coming of the Messiah. With the Coming of the Messiah, that would bring, that would fulfill, the resurrection of those of the Old Testament.</span>

<span class="jbp">And at this end time, with the coming of the one forerun, He comes, it is fulfilled, as it says here </span><span class="red jbp">\[</span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**</span><span class="red jbp">\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] In the time when he is giving His Message, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him and will transform the living believers in Christ…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Which, all of that will have a process, some steps to follow; because notice what happens to Revelation 11; but they will only be absent for only and a half days.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Just as Jesus was absent two thousand years ago when He was crucified, and He had to go, pass through the - the fifth dimension, and then through Paradise to bring those of the Old Testament; likewise, the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord will pass by and bring them: it says (those of the sixth dimension) that </span><span class="purple jbp">\[WMB\] “he would pass by and resurrect us; and then we will eat, we will take up bodies and we will eat.”</span><span class="purple jbp">\*</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Now notice, in the fulfillment and time for that messenger to preach his Message, that is when that promise will be fulfilled (which we read at the beginning) of that Scripture of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 44 to 45 and on, and of First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 3 and on. In that time of that messenger is when that will be fulfilled, the resurrection and transformation will be fulfilled.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] In the time when he is giving His Message, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him and will transform the living believers in Christ; that is the time of the Last Trumpet of Great Voice of Trumpet, that is the time of the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom by this messenger who is sent with the Everlasting Message, the Gospel of the Kingdom; and that messenger is this same messenger who appears here in Revelation, </span><span class="red wss">chapter</span><span class="red wss"> 22, </span><span class="red wss">verse</span><span class="red wss"> 6.</span>

<span class="red">“<span class="wss">*And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”*</span></span>

<span class="red wss">And in Revelation 22, </span><span class="red wss">verse</span><span class="red wss"> 16, it says:</span>

<span class="red">“<span class="wss">*I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”*</span></span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] That messenger is the Angel of Jesus; it’s the Angel, it’s the Holy Spirit, who is made flesh at this end time. </span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[129\]* </span><span class="purple wss">For the Lord himself </span><span class="purple wss">*(16th verse)*</span><span class="purple wss"> shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and…the trump of God:…</span>

<span class="purple wss">*130 Three things happens: A voice…A shout, a voice, a trumpet, has to happen before Jesus appears. Now, a shout…Jesus does all three of them when He’s—He’s—He’s—He’s descending.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Who? He Himself.</span>

<span class="jbp">That is why he writes there: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>God will do all 3 things by a prophet</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*».*</span>

<span class="jbp">In other words, He will carry out the fulfillment of those three things by prophet.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[130\] A shout, what is the shout? It’s the Message going forth, first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*131 Now, God has a way of doing things. And He never changes His policy. He never changes His po-…He’s the unchanging God* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] </span><span class="jbp">there on the left he draws a Cornerstone</span><span class="jbp">, and he writes): </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>from 6 to 9 a.m.</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] that is the fourth watch, when he appears)</span><span class="purple wss">*. In Amos 3:7, He said He would do nothing on the earth until first He revealed it to His servants the prophets. And just as certain as He promised it, He’ll do it.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] </span><span class="jbp">And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages there on the left.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now notice also on page 9 it tells us… of this message</span> <span class="purple jbp">**“THE RAPTURE”**</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple cita">\[65-1204 - “The Rapture,” p. 9, paras. 47-49\]</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[Bible Study #236, 9/Sep/2022 (Friday), p. 23 </span><span class="purple jbp">(PARAS. 47-48)</span><span class="blue jbp">\]</span>

<span class="purple wss">*47 God lotted His Word out to each age, and each one of those age has to manifest That. And He also foreordained men for that age, to fulfill that Word. Every time He lotted His Word, He lotted a man for it. When He lotted Moses’ time, He lotted Moses to it. When He lotted the time for the Son of God to be born, He lotted Him to it. Every age, He’s lotted His man, foreordained, as the Bible said. Nothing…*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Notice how from age to age, He has allotted an instrument. And he continues to say:</span>

<span class="purple wss">*48 If God is infinite, Almighty, all powerful, omnipresent, omniscient, why, He knowed all things from the beginning. So, He knowed. There’s nothing out of cater. It’s just us that thinks it is. It’s everything run. Look back in His Word and see what He’s doing, then we’ll have an understanding.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice, let’s go on a bit further, right there; in other words, continuing there; I’m on page 10 now, of </span><span class="purple jbp">**“THE RAPTURE”**</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">*49 Now, just think. The first place, if that minister would have thought, when they put that vinegar and gall in His mouth, He spit it out. He did not take it, at the first place. See? Just scoffers rising! Another thing, how did this Jesus of Nazareth, how did His life fit every prophecy of the Old Testament? How could it been? It couldn’t have been without it been ordained of God. His life fit every prophecy of the Old Testament. Another thing, if those disciples had faked Him like that, why did each one of them die in martyrdom? And even apostle Peter said, “Turn my head upside down. I’m not worthy to die like Him.” How they took Andrew and turned him sideways on the cross. They, every one, sealed their testimony in their own blood. They believed Him and loved Him, and gave their lives for Him* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] that was in the First Coming of the Lord)</span><span class="purple wss">*. If He was a faker, how would they ever done that? See? The spiritual application, the people don’t get it.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And there he writes on the left: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>They don’t get the spiritual application</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">Now notice…, around there, that whole message is very tremendous, this message of </span><span class="purple jbp">“THE RAPTURE.”</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now, let’s continue here where we paused, in this same message; a bit further on, he says:</span><span class="red jbp"> “He will have…”</span><span class="jbp">; I’m on the one </span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION,”**</span> <span class="jbp">by Dr. William Soto:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] (…) He will have that advantage to be able to deal with Jews and also with Christianity; in other words, he will be able to speak to Christianity, he will be able to speak to Judaism, and he won’t have any problem. He will have the Message pertaining to the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and therefore, the Message for the Last Day, for the seventh millennium from Adam to now and for the third millennium from Christ to now, which is the Last Day of the last three millennia. There is the order or there are the steps for adoption.</span>

<span class="red wss">Those who will be adopted won’t have to be forced to believe, because they will understand; “the wise will understand,” says Daniel, chapter 12. Christ will open their understanding as He did with His disciples in Luke, chapter 24, verses 41 and on.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Notice, they won’t have to be forced, just as the disciples didn’t have to be forced back then in the First Coming of the Lord.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">At this end time no one is forced. Everyone is coming because they are seeing the fulfillment of that which was brought, which would be the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Anyone may say: </span><span class="jbp">*“Yes, but he did that work. He was the one who called and gathered all those people,”*</span><span class="blue jbp"> and what moves those people to those activities so they go and receive the one who is speaking there? Because if they didn’t believe, they wouldn’t be going; something moves them, there’s an attraction on the Mountain, there is an attraction behind the veil, in the Age of the Cornerstone.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">So, they are believing what the forerunner said that the Coming of the Lord would be, and what Dr. William Soto Santiago brought us; because they are believers, they are the ones who will be transformed.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] And then we will all understand the steps for the adoption. The adoption is our transformation (for the living) and the resurrection of the dead in Christ into glorified bodies; the redemption of the body, where we will have immortal bodies, like the glorified body of Christ our Savior. God won’t stray away from His Program; there has to be a stage of the Church for the adoption; let’s call it: the Age of the Adoption.</span>

<span class="red wss">Two thousand years have already passed since Christ, and therefore, since Christianity, and the Church has been going through different stages. A stage must come, and let’s call it: the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Look, he says: </span><span class="red jbp">\[WSS\] “A stage must come and let’s call it the Age of the Cornerstone”</span><span class="blue jbp">; because he couldn’t open that mystery openly. And notice that he opened it little by little, and he let us catch a glimpse.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">And in several places we have found that he has said:</span><span class="red jbp"> \[WSS\] “The Door of the Dispensation of Grace has not closed yet; he has not left the Throne of Intercession in Heaven yet; He has not taken the Title Deed in Heaven yet; the Second Coming of the Lord has not been fulfilled yet.”</span><span class="red jbp">\*</span>

<span class="cita">\*</span><span class="red cita">\[</span><span class="red cita">**2017-01-27 “The Return of the Heavenly Citizens to the Father’s House” —Introduction—**</span><span class="red cita">: </span><span class="red wss">\[WSS\] We are at a very important time, in which at any moment the door of the Dispensation of Grace will close, and then the door of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will open, with the Messiah, the Son of David, as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.</span><span class="blue cita"> / Bible Study #247, 16/Oct/2022 (Sunday), p. 60 / Bible Study #259, 27/Nov/2022 (Sunday), p. 50</span><span class="red wss">\]</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Notice, he spoke all of that; but in a certain way, it showed that people understood and comprehended that in the time of our brother William, we were living in the time of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; when we were living in it potentially.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Now, all of that, now that we are in the Age of the Cornerstone, we can understand everything that was brought to us by Dr. William Soto Santiago and by Reverend William Branham.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … let’s call it: the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the stage of the adoption, the stage where all the promises of the Last Day will be fulfilled: the Coming of Elijah and Moses, of the Two Olive Trees for the Jews; the Coming of the Coming of the Lord for the Church of the Lord; the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet…</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B.

<span class="purple wss">*1150 - “\[270\] Now, as soon as this Church… (...) that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery of going. And the Jews is called by the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet, which is two prophets, Elijah and Moses…”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Above that he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Moses and Elijah = The mystery of the 7th Trumpet</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*1164 - “\[158\] Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] which is the Seventh Seal, see? And the Last Trumpet: the Seventh Trumpet)</span><span class="purple wss">*, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’...”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And there he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The Great Trumpet</u>*</span> <span class="jbp">(that is, the Seventh Trumpet ) </span><span class="red wss">*<u>= the 7th Seal</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] See? Because what the Seventh Seal is to the Church, which is the Coming of the Lord, is the Seventh Trumpet to Israel, which are Moses and Elijah.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B.

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … let’s call it: the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the stage of the adoption, the stage where all the promises of the Last Day will be fulfilled: the Coming of Elijah and Moses, of the Two Olive Trees for the Jews, the Coming of the Lord for the Church of the Lord; the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, the Gospel of the Kingdom or Everlasting Gospel; the call to the elect: to 144.000 Hebrews (12.000 of each tribe), and also the gathering the elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to complete the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because without the completion of the Church, we can’t leave this Earth, we can’t be transformed, because Christ can’t leave the Throne of Intercession without redeeming the very last one who is written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. He said that none of His sheep will be lost, therefore He is going to call them all, as He said; and He said: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me, and I know them </span><span class="blue jbp">\[and they follow Me\]</span><span class="red wss">, and I give them eternal life.” \[</span><span class="cita">John 10:27-28</span><span class="red wss">\]</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] In a writing there, he left us somewhere, on a page, in the back, there he writes:</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] See? How that happened when we stopped the baptisms, washing of feet - Holy Supper or Communion, washing of feet and all of that; and that stage of the Dispensation of Grace, where the altar calls were being carried out, to carry out those memorials; that ended.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now he goes on to say here </span><span class="red jbp">\[</span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**</span><span class="red jbp">\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] </span><span class="red wss">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION.”**</span>

<span class="red wss">To live on this Earth and not know the steps for the adoption yet be waiting for the transformation, is like living in the time when John the Baptist came and when Jesus came: many were waiting for Elijah to come, and for the Messiah to come as well, and He came and they didn’t even realize it; because they didn’t know the steps for the fulfillment of that Program. They thought that Elijah would come in a chariot of fire because he left in a chariot of fire, and since he left that way he would have to come…</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Notice, they say: “No, it’s because he left…,” the believers of brother Branham…; which, there is a number from that group who will come into the Age of the Cornerstone and be transformed. But notice, until that mystery is opened and their veil is removed, notice, they think that he will return because he said that the white-horse Rider, he says that he would ride that trail again. He says on </span><span class="purple jbp">page</span> <span class="purple jbp">166</span><span class="jbp">, </span><span class="purple jbp">paragraph 1485</span><span class="jbp">, it says </span><span class="purple jbp">\[</span><span class="purple jbp">***Quotations***</span><span class="purple jbp">\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">*1485 - “6 Now, there’s… I was…getting pretty old, and I thought, ‘Will I…Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail* </span><span class="jbp">(\[JBP\] and he writes there): </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>5th Elijah and 2nd Moses</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»* </span><span class="purple wss">*again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And on the right there he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The West: will come a white horse Rider</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">Now look…</span>

<span class="jbp">At the bottom he also writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Rev. 10:1-11. 19:11-19</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">Notice that… And above he also writes there: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>We’ll ride this trail again</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Some people think that because he said that, he has to come from above (in other words, he has to resurrect) to fulfill that promise.</span>

<span class="jbp">And also, at this time, some who pointed fingers at them saying that they were doing the wrong thing, who believed the wrong way, that it wasn’t that way, that </span><span class="jbp">*“it’s not that he would return, it’s that it’s in another man”…,*</span><span class="jbp"> notice, the Archangel Gabriel left, in other words, that ministry which was in the midst of the Church bringing us all that revelation of what the Coming of that promised Son would be; and he left, and notice, they’re thinking the same thing and believing the same thing as those who they themselves pointed fingers at saying that it wasn’t the way they thought: that brother Branham would return; well, they are in the same situation: they are thinking that he will return to fulfill what is left to be fulfilled. They’ve even said: </span><span class="jbp">*“No, he is going to return to finish what he left.”*</span>

<span class="jbp">See? They start to add to it and take away from it. And that’s very dangerous; because whoever adds to it: plagues will be added to him; and whoever takes away from it: his name will be blotted out of the Book of Life \[</span><span class="cita">Revelation 22:18-19</span><span class="jbp">\].</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … because he left in a chariot of fire, and since he left that way he would have to come; and notice, it was the ministry of Elijah in another man named John the Baptist.</span>

<span class="red wss">And the Messiah came and they didn’t recognize Him, except those who had received John the Baptist and others who heard the preaching of Jesus or of the apostles. In other words, let’s say that one-tenth (and that’s being generous!) of the inhabitants of the Hebrew people knew that the Messiah was on Earth, or perhaps less, but many saw Him but they didn’t know that the Messiah was on Earth…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] There are many… many people, many human beings on Earth, at this end time, and many religions and many sects; but notice, only the Church-Bride, that small group, is the one seeing the fulfillment of that Coming; because He comes as a thief in the night </span><span class="cita">\[1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 16:15</span><span class="blue jbp">. And of the whole world, only a small group, is the group that is seeing and receiving His Coming.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … but many saw Him and didn’t know that the Messiah was on Earth, because they believed that He was a false prophet, that He was an impostor, that He was a gluttonous man and a wine drinker; because sinners invited Him to eat, He would go and be with them and eat, and they would say: “This is a gluttonous man and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and sinners…” \[</span><span class="cita">Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34</span><span class="red wss">\]</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] The same thing they have said in this end time as well, see? Because it is the same, it is repeated again; because he said it would be parallel in every way. And so they point out things about him, as they pointed them out back then, in the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Lord in that man, in that young carpenter called Jesus of Nazareth.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … and Christ says to him: “Those who are whole don’t need a physician, those who are sick are the ones that need a physician.” \[</span><span class="cita">Matthew 9:11-13, Mark 2:16-17, Luke 5:30-32</span><span class="red wss">\] So, Christ knew how to explain why He was eating with those people, accepting their invitations.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*148 We notice another thing, in the Old Testament. I have the Scripture here, in Exodus. That, the old badger skins, what did it do? It hid the Glory of God from the people. The badger skins; even people couldn’t see It, because it was a skin that held It. The skin was…The Glory of God was behind the skin.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*149 And now the Glory of God is behind your skin. That’s right. And the traditions don’t see It.*</span><span class="purple wss"> ***It’s inside the veil, where His Word was***</span><span class="purple wss">*.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] That is the Coming of the Mighty Angel; and Revelation 11, Moses and Elijah; because the Son of Man comes with His Angels.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*150 What was on the inside of that skin back there, the old badger skins?*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*151 Which, “There was no beauty we should desire It. And when It was made flesh and dwelt among us, It was still no beauty we should desire It.”*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*152 And now the same thing is today. There’s nothing in a man or a woman, that can be desired. It’s what’s in behind there. That’s what it is. “Well,” you say, “that fellow, I know he used to be a drunkard…”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] That’s what they used to say about Jesus. </span><span class="jbp">*“Oh, no; it doesn’t say that.”*</span><span class="jbp"> What do you mean it doesn’t? When they said that He was a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and harlots, in other words, at this time they could say: “This man is a drunkard.”</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[152\] “...He used to do this.” I don’t care what he used to do. What’s hid behind that skin?*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] They could say that back then: “I don’t care what Jesus does.”</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[152\] What is behind there, that’s what counts. That’s what, the people is blinded.

<span class="purple wss">*153 Them skins, that was once on the badger, but now it’s hiding the Glory of God, got It housed behind it. It was on an animal, but now it’s housing the Glory of God.*</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] (…) And that </span><span class="red wss">is the</span><span class="red wss"> Voice that will have to be heard on the Lord’s Day, the Last Day, the seventh millennium from Adam to now </span><span class="red wss">or</span> <span class="blue jbp">\[the\]</span><span class="red wss"> third millennium from Christ to now; that is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message of the Everlasting Gospel; and he will bring all the divine knowledge that we need to obtain in order to be ready to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, without forcing anyone. The Gospel of Christ is preached and whoever will believe, will believe; in other words, whoever is in the Divine Program. Remember that Christ also said to those who didn’t want to believe in Him: “You cannot believe, because you are not </span><span class="red wss">of</span><span class="red wss"> My sheep,” \[</span><span class="cita">John 10:24-26</span><span class="red wss">\] </span><span class="red wss">and</span><span class="red wss"> there, He dismissed them </span><span class="blue jbp">(\[JBP\] he says there)</span><span class="red wss">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now look, in the message </span><span class="purple jbp">**“THREE KINDS OF BELIEVERS,”**</span><span class="jbp"> on page 23, there Reverend William Branham tells us, he says:</span>

<span class="purple cita">\[63-1124E - “Three Kinds Of Believers,” pp. 24-25, paras. 185-190\] </span><span class="blue cita">\[Study “The Coming of the Creator,” 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), pp. 20-22\]</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[186\] Now, we find now, they do just exactly like their father does, Judas.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] A bit before that, it says:</span>

<span class="purple wss">*185 And this Message of the hour that we’re now enjoying, the Presence of God, the latter day, the evening time when the Lights are shining, and the things that’s been opened up, and the Word vindicated and proved to be the Truth; both prophesied, comes to pass, all through scientific and everything, proved that It is, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and forever.” And, a man walk out on That…*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And on the right he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The unbeliever walks out on It</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Which is what has happened at this end time: the unbelievers have walked out on the fulfillment of what was promised.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[185\] … he’s—he’s an unbeliever. He’s beyond hopes. He’s numbed by the power of Satan, so there is no hopes for him. He is beyond hopes.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*186 Now that is what? The believer; now the unbeliever; now the third class, we’re speaking about, is the make-believer. That’s the boy, the make-believer!*</span> <span class="purple wss">*Now, remember, in there stood all three. Now, we find now, they do just exactly like their father does, Judas.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*There was Peter and the rest of the apostles, believers.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*There was the seventy, unbelievers.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*187 And there was Judas, hung right on, he was a make-believer. What do they do? This is the kind that holds on until they can find something, a fault in It.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] They are there until the end, always on the lookout for a mistake, to criticize, to fight against, to mock as well; they are always looks for faults; and they listen and are attentive, so that…, when they see that something is being done in the Divine Program! But they are the ones who are there to attack; they wait for something to be spoken, and for the activity to be held and everything, to then attack. One identifies them as the Judases there.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[187\] They are looking every time to find a loophole, see how it’s done, see if it’s a trick, if it’s a gimmick. They’re waiting to be sold out.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice, that will happen more openly in that time when…, once all that was seen in the Tent Vision takes place. Remember that everything moves progressively.</span>

<span class="jbp">And today God is carrying out all the most important things, which is the revelation, the Rapturing Faith. Later on the altar calls will appear; later on the prayer line will appear as well, the prayer for the sick.</span>

<span class="jbp">But notice, all of that, if they questioned it, criticized it, and searched for something to fight against, in the time of John, of Jesus, of the apostles, of the seven angel messengers… In the time of brother Branham they used to look for: </span><span class="jbp">*“No, that’s mental telepathy,”*</span><span class="jbp"> or: </span><span class="jbp">*“That’s this, or the other.”*</span>

<span class="jbp">See? For the unbeliever there is no way for God to show something for them to believe, because they are always unbelievers and will continue to be unbelievers. There’s no way for them to believe. Even if the stones rose, “the dead (it says) out of those stones,” (Jesus says)</span><span class="jbp">\*</span><span class="jbp">; still they will not believe; because the unbeliever will always be an unbeliever, whether they see miracles or </span><span class="jbp">/none are performed/</span><span class="jbp"> or they don’t see miracles.</span>

<span class="cita">\*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[187\] They’re waiting to be sold out. They’re looking for that.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*188 The unbeliever, he don’t even wait around. He’s condemned It, and walked out.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*189 The believer, no matter what happens, he believes It, anyhow, for It’s the Word.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] On the right he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>The unbeliever leaves</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] The make-believers are those who stay until the end; who are unbelievers; because </span><span class="red jbp">\[WSS\] “in the end,” </span><span class="jbp">brother William says that </span><span class="red jbp">\[WSS\] there end up being only two groups: believers and unbelievers</span><span class="red jbp">\*</span><span class="jbp">.</span>

<span class="cita">\*</span><span class="blue cita">\[Study “The Coming of the Creator,” 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), pp. 33-34\]:</span> <span class="red cita">**1982-05-16 “Watching the time”**</span><span class="red cita">: </span><span class="red wss">\[WSS\] Those are the ones that have always existed, and that exist today. And the make-believers belong to the unbelievers; so, we can reduce the groups to two kinds of people: believers and unbelievers. You belong to one of those two groups.</span>

<span class="jbp">But the make-believing unbeliever, that is, the make-believer, is the worst kind; he’s the most stubborn one; he’s the most problematic one.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[189\] There is your three classes.*</span>

<span class="purple wss">*190 The old unbeliever will walk out, on the first thing that’s said, he don’t like about it. Brother, he’s going to throw his colors right then. He’s an unbeliever. Paul said, “They went out from us, because they wasn’t of us, in the beginning.*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And above he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Those who leave, they went out from us, but they were not…</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] That’s how it is in the fulfilment of the Tent Vision, in the fulfillment of the Coming of those ministries to the Church-Bride, in the midst of the Church-Bride, where he said that </span><span class="red jbp">\[WSS\] those ministries will be invited for the fulfillment of the Tent Vision</span><span class="red jbp">\*</span>

<span class="cita">\*</span><span class="blue cita">\[Bible Study #453, 6-2/Oct/2024 (Sunday), p. 52\]:</span> <span class="red cita">**2011-04-30 “The crowning of the ministry, the Messenger and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ”**</span><span class="red cita">: </span><span class="red wss">\[WSS\] So, that Great Tent Cathedral must appear somewhere; and the ministries of Moses and Elijah will have to be invited; and therefore, the Holy Spirit will be there operating those ministries, of Moses and Elijah.</span>

<span class="jbp">In other words, the Holy Spirit would be in the midst of His Church; which is the Pillar of Fire that Reverend William Branham saw speaking to somebody else, above where he was</span><span class="jbp">\*</span><span class="jbp">. In other words, at that time the Holy Spirit is the One that would be operating those ministries, operating those ministries to fulfill the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.</span>

<span class="cita">\*</span><span class="purple cita">\[</span><span class="purple cita">*The Seals*</span><span class="purple cita">, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 548 para. 296-299\]</span>

<span class="jbp">And at this end time, those who were not of us leave; “they went out from us because they were not of us.”</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[190\] “They went out from us, because they wasn’t of us, in the beginning. They started with us.”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Notice, many of those who have left started from the beginning; and many have been around for many years. But what is the use of them being there from the beginning if in the end they were going to reject the fulfillment of the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels? It was of no use to them.</span>

<span class="purple wss">*\[190\] “Oh, you did run well; what hindered you?” See it? “They went out, because they wasn’t of us.”*</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] And there’s what brother William says, he says </span><span class="red jbp">\[</span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**</span><span class="red jbp">\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] Remember that Christ also said to those who didn’t want to believe in Him: “You cannot believe, because you are not of My sheep.” \[</span><span class="cita">John 10:24-26</span><span class="red wss">\] And there, He dismissed them.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Because notice, at this end time, that is what has been happening: and that instrument can say: “You can’t believe in me because you are not of my sheep.”</span>

<span class="blue jbp">And since the Son of Man comes with His Angels to make that separation, that segregation, then, he already dismissed them there. He says: </span><span class="red jbp">“And there, he dismissed them.”</span><span class="blue jbp"> And so have I now: I have already dismissed them, see? Those who are unbelievers.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] Whoever doesn’t want to believe, won’t believe. He says: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me.” He said: “He that is of God, hears God’s Voice.” \[</span><span class="cita">John 8:47</span><span class="red wss">\]</span>

<span class="red wss">He that is of God to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, will hear the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Last Trumpet, the Final Message of God, the Gospel of the Kingdom which will be intertwining with the Gospel of Grace. That is a mystery as well: how a dispensational Message intertwines with another dispensational Message, only a dispensational prophet can do it, no other prophet can do it; and it has to be the one who is ordained for the new dispensation, to intertwine His Message with the dispensation that is ending.</span>

<span class="red">“<span class="wss">**THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION.”**</span></span>

<span class="red wss">All those who will be adopted will be hearing the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Trumpet of God; all the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of Man, the Voice of the Son of God, and will resurrect \[</span><span class="cita">John 5:25</span><span class="red wss">\].</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Whoever won’t —whoever won’t be listening and isn’t listening to it— well, won’t be transformed.</span>

<span class="blue jbp">Remember in John, chapter 5, verse 24, around there, where he wrote to us in that part where he said that </span><span class="jbp">“the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God and will rise,” </span><span class="blue jbp">he writes there: </span><span class="red jbp">*\[WSS\] «in flesh»*</span><span class="red jbp">*\**</span><span class="blue jbp">. That is why it is the Voice of the Son of Man, the Voice of the Son of God, that those in the sixth dimension will hear, and they will rise.</span>

<span class="red wss">In that message He will be revealing the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His Church. And we won’t speak about that now, we’ll leave that for another occasion; because the Coming of the Lord to His Church will be more simple than we imagine.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Now look, on </span><span class="purple jbp">page 286</span> <span class="purple jbp">\[p. 329 in Eng. (Fifth Seal)\]</span><span class="jbp"> of the book of </span><span class="purple jbp">***The Seals***</span><span class="jbp">, Reverend William Branham tells us there, he says…; and let’s have this open here as well, to see what he writes to us there; he says:</span>

<span class="purple wss">61 They could be big enough to be—to be simple enough, they could find Him in that direction, by being simple. But as long as you’re going towards wisdom, you’re going away from Him.</span>

<span class="purple wss">62 Now let me get that so you won’t miss it. As long as you’re trying to find God by wisdom, like it was in the garden of Eden, like it was in the days of Moses, like it was in the days of—of Noah, like it’s been in the days of Christ, in the days of John, in the days of the apostles, and to this day! When you try to figure It out, and try to find God by wisdom, you’re going farther from Him all the time. You’re trying to understand It. There is no way of doing it. Just accept It. See? Just believe It. Don’t try to understand It.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And he writes: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Don’t try to understand it; just accept it, believe it</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">And he also writes there: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>To accept = to believe</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="purple wss">63 I can’t understand why, that, well, a lot of things. Not many things I do understand or can understand.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And he writes there, in this other message - the book: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>There are many things that I don’t understand</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] Now notice, there in 287, there he also says </span><span class="purple jbp">\[</span><span class="purple jbp">***The Seals***</span><span class="purple jbp">\]</span> <span class="purple jbp">\[P. 330\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">68 So, you see, don’t try to get wisdom, to understand. Just believe what He says. And the more simpler you can get, then there you are, you’ll find It. Now, I’m so thankful for that, thankful that He is, has made Hisself simple.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And he writes on the left side: </span><span class="red wss">*\[WSS\] «*</span><span class="red wss">*<u>Simple</u>*</span><span class="red wss">*»*</span><span class="red jbp">.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] And on the right…, there in this one…, let’s look here, </span><span class="jbp">he draws a Star of David</span><span class="jbp"> in the previous paragraph, to have that drawing there, where he says </span><span class="purple jbp">\[</span><span class="purple jbp">***The Seals***</span><span class="purple jbp">\] \[P. 330\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="purple wss">\[67\] They ain’t got them a watch or a clock, or any piece of machinery, that’s that perfect. And yet it stands there. And, then, leaning backwards. What if it straightened up a little bit? Yeah. You just make yourself silly, to try, see.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] </span><span class="jbp">And he draws a Star of David there on the right.</span><span class="jbp"> It’s a bit before. It’s because there was that Star in this one, and today… so that you have it there in that previous paragraph.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[</span><span class="jbp">*Dr. Jose B. Perez*</span><span class="jbp">\] Well, let’s continue here; brother William continues to say </span><span class="red jbp">\[</span><span class="red jbp">**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**</span><span class="red jbp">\]</span><span class="jbp">:</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] The world won’t even realize when Christ takes His Church, therefore, they won’t know that it was the Coming of the Lord to His Church: it will be as a thief in the night, the Scripture says \[</span><span class="cita">1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 16:15</span><span class="red wss">\]. The foolish virgins didn’t see Him either, they didn’t know that He was coming, but they didn’t have the Oil and they went to buy some </span><span class="blue jbp">(\[JBP\] in other words, they left to search for other leaders, their own ministers who are against, they went to look for the Holy Spirit in other places)</span><span class="red wss">; and when they returned, the wise virgins had already gone in with the Bridegroom to the Marriage, and the door had been closed \[</span><span class="cita">Mathew 25:1-13</span><span class="red wss">\].</span>

<span class="red wss">So, it’s the wise virgins who will see Him, receive Him…</span>

<span class="blue jbp">\[JBP\] Automatically the person identifies as elect of God there: when he is receiving at this time the revelation, the content of the Seven Thunders, and he is receiving the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; he is seeing Him and receiving Him, and believing Him wholeheartedly.</span>

<span class="red wss">\[WSS\] … and go in with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It’s important to know the steps, that is, the order for the adoption, for the transformation of the living; and for the dead in Christ: the resurrection in eternal bodies.</span>

<span class="jbp">\[JBP\] It’s important to know </span><span class="red jbp">**“THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION.”**</span>

<span class="jbp">Let’s stand, and thus, we leave, in this message: </span><span class="red jbp">**“THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION,”**</span><span class="jbp"> our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.</span>
