 <u>BIBLE STUDY #287  
 </u><u>SUNDAY, MARCH 5, 2023</u>

\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Thank you very much, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin; may God continue blessing you greatly.May you all have a very good morning, all those present and all those who are watching us through the Amazonas satellite or internet, on this occasion today, Sunday, March 5 of this year 2023. **THE MYSTERY OF THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Tuesday, November 18, 1997* *Franca, São Paulo, Brazil*

\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] We open our Bibles in Romans, chapter 8. He used the Scripture of Romans 11:25-29 in this message that we will be seeing and listening to today. And we also read **Romans 8:14**, where it says:<sup>*14*</sup> \_For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.\_ <sup>*15*</sup> \_For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.\_ <sup>*16*</sup> \_The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:\_ <sup>*17*</sup> \_And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.\_ <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] And there he draws a Star of David.</span><sup>*18*</sup> \_For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.\_ <sup>*19*</sup> \_For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.\_ <sup>*20*</sup> \_For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,\_ <sup>*21*</sup> \_Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.\_ <sup>*22*</sup> \_For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.\_ <sup>*23*</sup> \_And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.\_  <span style="color: #ff0000;">**THE MYSTERY OF THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES**</span>

 \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He says (in this small introduction of this topic) our beloved brother William Soto Santiago:<span style="color: #ff0000;">**THE PRINCES OF GOD** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**(Ministers Meeting)** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Saturday, March 2, 2002* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*(Fourth activity)*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">What has stopped God from dealing again in the spiritual realm with the Hebrew people and sending them a prophet with “THUS SAITH THE LORD,” is that God is working with His Church among the gentiles. Although Hebrews also enter in; but Hebrews enter in, not because they are Hebrews, but because they believe in Jesus Christ; therefore, whether they are Hebrews or not Hebrews, it is of no value.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Paul said, “In Christ there is no Jew… neither Jew nor Greek,”<sup>[<sup>1</sup>](#sdfootnote1sym)</sup> and so on; therefore, it has nothing to do with… He also says: “Where there is neither male nor female…”; that is, the sex does not matter: they are called and gathered in the Mystical Body of Christ; it is an individual call.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">She does not depend, the woman (for her to believe), it does not depend on the husband to have believed, see? Because it is an individual call.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, we can see how Saint Paul takes these words. And now, when the fullness of the gentiles have entered, when the last elect will have entered into the Mystical Body of Christ:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“And so all Israel shall be saved:* <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] there he quotes the Scripture of Romans 11),</span> *as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, they are going to enter the New Covenant, because in the Old Covenant there is no dealing with God; with the Old Covenant they cannot claim anything, it has to be with the New Covenant. Paul said that what is considered old becomes old and disappears.<sup>[<sup>2</sup>](#sdfootnote2sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #ff0000;">So not even the Levitical ministry enters the New Covenant. Otherwise, all the princes of the Church of Jesus Christ, the ministers, they would have to be descendants of Levi, see? But we are descendants of one greater than Levi: of Melchisedec.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, Melchisedec, the High Priest, has many descendants, whom He has placed in different positions.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">In His Church He has princes, that is, the main ones who are the ministers among whom there are different ministries. And from age to age, well, He has the angel messenger through whom Christ manifests Himself and commands His Church in every age, He directs His Church.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, let us next see about the mystery of Christ, the Word, the Holy Spirit in His final manifestation; He had a temporary manifestation through each angel messenger.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And for the Last Day we have the promise, just as the Holy Spirit was manifested in human flesh temporarily in each Messenger, He will manifest Himself in human flesh in all His fullness.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">If we find in each age the veil of flesh where the Holy Spirit would manifest Himself in each age, you would find what? The angel messenger of their age, and they would hear the Voice of Christ in Holy Spirit through the messenger in that temporary manifestation.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And for the Last Day, if God’s people find the veil of flesh where God has promised to carry out that manifestation in all His fullness, then they will have found the messenger who will be at that Last Day ministering, through whom the Holy Spirit will minister in all His fullness.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">That messenger will be in a progressive way obtaining blessings from God; but the time will come when it will be the fullness of God in that messenger, the Holy Spirit in all His fullness. When he is adopted, there will be no limitations as to what God can do through that messenger.</span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of <span style="color: #333399;">*The Ages*</span>… Remember that quote from yesterday? Notice, it tells us about this that we had not found, and it was that we were looking for it with another word.</span>Let’s turn to page 62 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 64 in Eng.\] of the book of<span style="color: #333399;"> ***The Ages***<span style="color: #000000;">;</span></span> it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;">“Don’t fear, John. Don’t fear, little flock. **All that I am, you are heir to**. All My power is yours. My omnipotence is yours as I stand in your midst. I have not come to bring fear and failure, but love and courage and ability. All power is given unto Me and it is yours to use. You speak the Word and I will perform it. That is My covenant and it can never fail.”</span>\[JBP\] And there he writes, in this book he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Speak the Word</u>»*</span>. And the Scripture that he places there, which brother Branham did not understand and did not touch, he left it still, was Mark 11:22-24; he places here: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Mark 11:22-24</u>»*</span>. And he also writes, where it says: <span style="color: #333399;">\[WMB\] “All that I am, you are heir to,” there he writes:</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Son of Man, Son of Abraham</u>»*</span>. <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>In the Eternal Age, the Eternal Covenant</u>»*.</span>\[JBP\] And in the notes, referring to that page, look at the beautiful writing he writes; he says – he writes:<span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>All power is given to Me, and it is at your disposal (in the 8th Age). Speak the Word and I shall do it</u>».* <span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;">(\[JBP\] That is already adoption. And he keeps writing):</span> *\[WSS\] «<u>That is My Covenant, which can never fail</u>»*.</span>\[JBP\] Now, see how our brother William tells us there already that: <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] When he is adopted, there will be no limitations as to what God can do through that messenger.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***Quotations***<sup>***[<sup>3</sup>](#sdfootnote3sym)***</sup> it also tells us, on page 111, in paragraph 974… Even look at 973 what it says there:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *973 - “*<sup>*112*</sup> *But Jesus lived in a world that no one knowed about, He was an odd Person. He lived in a world of Perfect Faith in the Perfect God, in which He was. If we lived in a Perfect Faith of a Christian, to what we are, we’d be a mystic to the world; the people wouldn’t understand you. You’d walk in the Spirit. What the Spirit said, you would do. What It forbid, you would not do. \[...\]*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*114*</sup> *And so when a man lives by faith and walks by faith, I mean substance faith, he is isolated from the entire world and becomes a new creature in Christ. There, now you’re getting into Bride material. See? See? See? You’re getting into rapturing condition, now.”*</span>\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.In other words, we are reaching that moment where we will have the conditions in each one of us to be able to be raptured; because we are walking in the Spirit of God, and each time more and more towards perfection.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, in 974, which was the one we were going to read, it says <span style="color: #333399;">\[***Quotations***\]<sup>[<sup>4</sup>](#sdfootnote4sym)</sup>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *974 - “*<sup>*\[149\]* </sup>*‘And if you say to this mountain, ‘Be moved,’ and don’t doubt, see, in your heart, but believe that what you’ve said will come to pass, you can have what you said.’”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[JBP\] And he writes there (above): *\[WSS\] «<u>Say to this mountain. Speak</u>». *And he writes beside it: *\[WSS\] «<u>Squirrels = </u>*</span>\_<span style="color: #ff0000;">»</span>. \_That is, brother William writes it there… I am reading that, although he is going to say it in the paragraph, but so that it remains attached there in the Study. He writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Squirrels = the Word materialized, fulfilled, in the Message of the Kingdom</u>*</span>\_<span style="color: #ff0000;">»</span>.\_ \[JBP\] He continues saying <span style="color: #333399;">\[***Quotations***\]:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *974 - “*<sup>*\[149\]* </sup>*That puts you back in the Word. Now, that’s not skim milk. See? It puts you back. I know it’s going to jumps right over top of you, maybe, see, because It can’t anchor. But real, genuine faith catches that, right now.*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[151\]* </sup>*There’s Perfect Faith. No vision, ‘Just speak the Word,’* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>the Perfect Faith</u>»* </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and a Star of David) </span>*never saw the squirrel. He just said this Scripture, what it was, and ‘Speak it, and don’t doubt it; but what you say, it’ll be there.’ And I took God at His Word, and it was there.”*</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\]<span style="color: #333399;"> “I accepted God at His own Word.” That is why, see, where he said there <span style="color: #333399;">\[***The Ages***\]</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;">“You speak the Word and I will perform it. That is My covenant and it can never fail.”</span><span style="color: #333399;">\[***Quotations***\]</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *974 - “*<sup>*\[151\]*</sup> *…and it was there* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that is, the squirrels were there)</span>*. That’s right. That’s just as powerful… And friend, as your pastor, that’s just as powerful as it was when Joshua stopped the sun…”*</span>\[JBP\] Above he had drawn two more Stars of David; that is, it would be three in a row.<span style="color: #333399;"> *974 - “*<sup>*\[151\]* </sup>*…as it was when Joshua stopped the sun* <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Joshua stopped the sun</u>»*</span>*; because the sun was already there, the elements was moving, and he stopped the movement. But this, He brought something there that wasn’t there, He created!”*</span>\[JBP\] Now, look at that manifestation (of the five) that was shown to Reverend William Branham, where the power of God was partially manifested, on the occasion when sister Hattie Wright was there and she said the right word: “THUS SAITH THE LORD, that is the truth,” of what brother Branham was talking about. And the Holy Spirit said to her, <span style="color: #333399;">\[WMB\] “Let her ask what she wants and it will be given to her.”<sup>[<sup>5</sup>](#sdfootnote5sym)</sup></span>And see how there she could have asked to be young; or for her sister, who had problems, to be healed; she could have asked for (says brother Branham) a million dollars; whatever. But she asked for the most important thing: the salvation of her children. And he said, <span style="color: #333399;">\[WMB\] “I give them to you.”</span>Notice, the spoken Word created even theophanies!, because they came to the feet of the Lord. He spoke the Word and they came to his feet; that is, the salvation of family members.Also the tumor of his wife: that at a distance he spoke the Word as well, and the tumor disappeared. You already know the story.Also the storm, that he spoke so that it would stop, cease. See? Power over nature.Power over diseases, as it was when he spoke his wife’s tumor out of existence. And over the storm, that is power over nature.See, there God is showing all the power, when it will be carried out at the Last Day in all its fullness; and He gives those samples; so you can see that it covers everything.Then also the creation of the squirrels, that he placed them in a very difficult place, where there was cactus or… it was very difficult for a squirrel to be there; and in a tree of a certain way, too. In other words, creation of the squirrels: that represents the spiritual food, the revealed Word, and also physical food.And also the resurrection of that little fish, which had been dead for half an hour.All those manifestations, that God allowed to be seen by Reverend William Branham, are speaking to us there of everything that will be in this end time.We even see where limbs will be created. As he says there: <span style="color: #333399;">\[WMB\] “Joshua had the elements,” there was the sun. But a person coming in without an arm, or without a leg, or without an eye, and being created: that is already the creative power of God, because He is the same one who created the Heavens and the Earth; He is the God creator of the universe.</span>Can He not also create a leg or an arm? But, it is part of His creation! In other words all that will be manifested. And there are already things that are being fulfilled in a progressive way; because everything starts like that, in a simple way.<span style="color: #333399;">\[WMB\] “Members of bodies (\[JBP\] there is a quote that says like this)<span style="color: #333399;"> will be created”</span>; we have read it (if you have it over there we can read it).</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here, in this message<span style="color: #333399;"> \[**“THE PRINCES OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] Throughout the ages it has been in the firstfruits, and the messenger of the Last Day also begins as so; but he will be the only one that will reach fullness, wherein he will be adopted and the Holy Spirit will work through him in all His fullness. And he will be the second person where the Holy Spirit will work in all His fullness (the first was Jesus); and he will be the first or second (let’s place him as second), the second of the children of God to be adopted while being alive on Earth; the first was our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">The age in which he will be will become a perfect age, and will be the age that will see the dead who will be resurrected in glorified bodies; just as Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus resurrected and also saw the angels who were there in the tomb.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And what does Mary Magdalene have to do with the Church?</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] There they sent us the… page 93, let’s read it so that…, paragraph 804, says<span style="color: #333399;"> \[***Quotations***\]<sup>[<sup>6</sup>](#sdfootnote6sym)</sup>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *804 - “*<sup>*24*</sup> *I believe… I’m not going to speak it in His Name; I’m going to speak it in my…in the revelation of my faith, what happened in Sabino Canyon the other day. I believe that the hour is approaching, when missing limbs will be restored* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that is, the arms and the legs)</span>*, and the glorious Power of the Creator. I—I believe, if He can make* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that is, create)</span> *a squirrel appear, that has no… Here is the man or woman, just got a part missing. And that’s complete animal, in itself. He is God.”*</span>\[JBP\] And there he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Created squirrels</u>»*</span>. And he also writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The restoration of missing limbs</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say… he says<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“THE PRINCES OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] And what does Mary Magdalene have to do with the Church? Didn’t Christ take seven demons out of Mary Magdalene?<sup>[<sup>7</sup>](#sdfootnote7sym)</sup> And after that was that she became a faithful follower of Christ, and was also able to see vision of angels, and was able to see Christ resurrected as well<sup>[<sup>8</sup>](#sdfootnote8sym)</sup>; but she had seen Christ before He was resurrected in His earthly ministry.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ during the seven stages, we find that when the messenger of each age left, the spirit of the antichrist came (which was in the midst of Her) and formed denominations; and thus damaged that stage. But the elect had already been called and gathered into the Mystical Body of Christ; and the work, of the Spirit of God with the elect, was already done; and the Holy Spirit moved to another age to carry out the Work corresponding to another age.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***Quotations***<sup>***[<sup>9</sup>](#sdfootnote9sym)***</sup> there it also tells us; on page 24, paragraph 196 it says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *196 – “*<sup>*\[59\]* </sup>*The Holy Spirit speaking out, how those gifts to be working in the last day. Now, we got gifts of healing working. Oh, it’s—it’s going good. Well, brother, there’s other gifts. That’s just one of them. That’s just a little minor thing. Well, here is a far greater gift right here. Which would be the best, the gift of the Holy Ghost of wisdom, to put the Word of God together and to show the Church where we’re standing, than just to get somebody healed? We all want to be well. But I’d rather have my soul well, than my body well, anytime.”*</span>\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>healthy Soul</u>»*</span>. And he also writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The Word of God together, and to teach</u>»*</span>. And he writes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The gift of wisdom</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say here<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“THE PRINCES OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] Now, we find that every age, just as it had a messenger with the Spirit of Christ, we find that the evil spirit also moved in the midst of Christianity; and so there were the wheat and the tares together; and then what did they do? They made denominations; and so the tares grew in the midst of the wheat.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And notice, we find that that denominational spirit, in the Last Day, by the manifestation of Christ through the Angel of Jesus Christ takes out that evil spirit, and God’s chosen ones remain free from the influence of that spirit.</span>\[JBP\] Now, remember he had said in that message<span style="color: #ff0000;"> “THE COMING OF THE CORNERSTONE,” which was preached in ‘78, that He would leave, God would leave the ministries of Moses and Elijah so that the Age of the Cornerstone would not be denominationalized.<sup>[<sup>10</sup>](#sdfootnote10sym)</sup></span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, on page 129, in paragraph 1149, it says <span style="color: #333399;">\[***Quotations***\]<sup>[<sup>11</sup>](#sdfootnote11sym)</sup>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *1149 - “*<sup>*\[264\]*</sup> *From the seventh angel’s (messenger of the Seventh Seal) Message in Revelation 10, was the Seventh Seal* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The 7th Seal = is Rev. 10</u>»*</span> *to the Seven Trumpets, between those two times...*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*265*</sup> *O God, how can we say This, to make the people see It?*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*266* </sup>*It’s between that Sixth Trumpet, and the Sixth Trumpet and… The Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Seal sounds at the same time. And between the Sixth Trumpet and the Seventh Trumpet, there is a prophet to appear before the Gentiles, to call the people back to the original pentecostal Doctrine; and the two witnesses of Revelation 11 appear to the Jews, to send them to Jesus, while the Church is being taken up. All of them, prophets! Amen! The Word of the Lord cannot be broken. It won’t be a denomination!* <span style="color: #000000; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] And there he writes):</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>Moses and Elijah</u>»* </span>*Do you see it?*</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*267*</sup> *Read in your Book here and see if that between the Sixth and Seventh Trumpet isn’t injected in there, let the Jews being called out between the Sixth and Seventh Plague, we come over to that hundred and forty-four thousand (you remember that?), which was between that. Do you remember? Between the—the—the Sixth, the Fifth Seal and the Sixth Seal… Between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, there was a calling out of the hundred and forty-four thousand. You remember that? Now there is where these trumpets come in right there…”*</span>\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>The calling to the Jews = is between the 6th and 7th Seal, and between the 6th and the 7th Trumpet</u>»*</span>. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say here <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[**“THE PRINCES OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] …and God’s chosen ones remain free from the influence of that spirit <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that is, from that denominational spirit)</span>.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">It is so bad <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] that spirit) </span>that our brother Branham says that, was it Polycarp? Only by having an inclination towards denominationalism: he did not qualify to be the angel messenger of that time in which he lived. But was it his nephew? Irenaeus, although it does not appear in the history of Irenaeus with as many wonders and miracles as Polycarp… Polycarp was a disciple of whom? See, a disciple of John the apostle.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">But now, history says that when Polycarp was placed to be burned, they tried to burn him and they could not burn him; until he was burned afterwards.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, with so many manifestations of God in him, he was not able to be the angel messenger of the second… (Second is it? Second age or third age? Second. Then Irenaeus was the…); and then Irenaeus became the messenger; only because Polycarp had an inclination towards the denominational system.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And that little part there, it tells us in the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Ages***, on page 118<span style="color: #333399;"> \[p. 159 in Eng.\]</span>, it says:</span> <span style="color: #333399;">THE MESSENGER</span>

<span style="color: #333399;">Using our God given rule of choosing the messenger for each age, we unhesitatingly declare that Irenaeus was exalted by the Lord to that position. He was the disciple of that great saint and warrior of faith, Polycarp. And it is no doubt as he sat at the feet of that great man he learned the Christian graces that flowed from his consecrated life, for Polycarp was one of the truly illustrious saints of all ages when viewed in the light of a blameless life. You will remember from your own reading that Polycarp was martyred. Too old to flee, and too sincere a man to allow another to hide him and then suffer a penalty for doing so, he gave himself up to death. But before he did, he asked for and was granted permission to pray two hours for his brethren in the Lord, for the governor, for his enemies and his captors. Like the great saints of all ages, and desiring a better resurrection, he stood firm, refusing to deny the Lord, and died with a free conscience. He was placed at the stake (untied at his own request) and the fire was lit. The fire bent away from his body, refusing to touch him. He was then pierced through with a sword. As this was done, water gushed from his side drowning the flames. His spirit was actually seen to depart in the form of a white dove released from his bosom. Yet for all this great testimony, this student of John the Revelator was not militant against the Nicolaitane system, for he himself leaned toward organization, not realizing that the desire for fellowship and what appeared like a good plan to foster the work of God was really a trick of the enemy.</span>\[JBP\] Now see, that inclination to denomination cost Polycarp that position. Just like every minister who has inclined towards that —no matter how faultless his life may be—, but has that inclination to denomination: he is going to lose that blessing of being one of the princes in the Kingdom of God.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say here <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[**“THE PRINCES OF GOD”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] Therefore, surely he worked with the believers of that time in that denominational form, and so he lost the blessing of being the angel messenger of his age, of his time.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, the Church in our time has been delivered, as Mary Magdalene was; and as she followed Christ and served Him, the Church in our time follows Christ and serves Him and works in His Work; and the Church of Jesus Christ of our age will be the one that will see the dead resurrected.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, we find that later on other people saw Him, but the first one to see Christ was Mary Magdalene, Christ resurrected.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now, we are living in the greatest and most glorious time of our time, where we will be seeing on Earth, just as the elect of the past times saw the veil of flesh where the Holy Spirit manifested Himself; and many perhaps saw Him since He was born; and among those who saw Him, two were able to say: “This is our son.”</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">But now, for this end time, look at what God says through Reverend William Branham:<sup>[<sup>12</sup>](#sdfootnote12sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*“196 But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Therefore, that man, that messenger, has to be on Earth at the Last Day; and he has to grow; and he has to be a messenger of Jesus Christ in His Church, he has to be one of the princes of Christ in His Church.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And now, we find that for this end time he has to, in the life of that veil of flesh, the whole Program of Christ must go in a progressive way: increasing, growing until it reaches the fullness.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And how many know that he is going to arrive? We all know it. And there will be fulfilled the blessing for the faithful and wise servant: “Who is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord when He comes shall find so doing? Verily I say unto you, that He will set him over all His goods.”<sup>[<sup>13</sup>](#sdfootnote13sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #ff0000;">The same as the Father did with Christ when He ascended victorious: That He sat Him on His Throne, when this messenger obtains the Great Victory in Divine Love: Christ will seat him with Him on His Throne; and that Throne is the Throne of David.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message:<span style="color: #ff0000;">**THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">**(Ministers Meeting)** </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Wednesday, May 16, 2007* </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Quito, Ecuador*</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">We are living in a very important moment, where from one moment to the next the Church will be completed, and then Christ will take the Title Deed <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] the Church is already completed, and He already took the Title Deed)</span>; and from then on there will be no more opportunity for salvation, because Christ will no longer be as High Priest in Heaven. </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">He will take that Title Deed, He will bring it to Earth in Revelation 10, and then He will give it to a man in whom He will become flesh; and therefore, that man will have the Word, the Title Deed, for the restoration to eternal life of each one of God’s elect.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And that will be the Sword; the Sword that fell into the hand of the Reverend William Branham, in that vision that he had. And the Sword is the Word of God, that is the Sword of the King. And the Book of the Seals, that Title Deed, is the Word of God. And, therefore, he will have the Sword in his hand and also coming out of his mouth.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">That is why Reverend William Branham said: “Let me pass this Sword to him that is faithful, when my time comes, when the waves come to me, and I must depart.” That is around there on page 470 something<span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> (\[JBP\] our brother William says there)</span> around there, of *The Seals*.</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] Let’s say the exact page: page 479 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 571, para 373 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\]</span> (at the bottom).</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] In other words, that creative Word, that we saw manifested in Reverend William Branham, with which —by speaking it— he was able to create, will be in another person who will obtain that Sword, the creative Word of God.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the writing we read recently, where he wrote there:<sup>[<sup>14</sup>](#sdfootnote14sym)</sup><span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>After me comes another messenger</u>»*.</span>And here a little further down he wrote: <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>How can I hand over this Sword to another </u><u>**who carries**</u>**<u> the truth?</u>»*</span>.\[JBP\] There in the Study they placed “who bears,” but it is <span style="color: #ff0000;">*\[WSS\] «<u>**who carries**</u><u> the truth</u>»*</span>. That is what he wrote there.See, our brother William has already left written that after him would come another one. But if he would have said that before, a lot of ministers would have risen and said: “That (for sure) is me.”But the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man, was going to be opened in a Great Tent Cathedral. And there the enemy can start inventing; but the chosen one is already sealed and is looking at the one to whom he passed the Sword to, the Word; and there will be no way to confuse them.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say<span style="color: #ff0000;"> \[**“THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES”**\]:</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] That is why the Tent Vision will be fulfilled in the time that the person to whom the Sword has been given will be on Earth…</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] It had to be, that character that was on Earth: already had grown up, had his childhood, his youth; and being trained for when there was also, what? The Tent; then God would use him.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] That is why the Tent Vision will be fulfilled in the time when the person to whom that Sword, the Word of God, has been delivered to for the Last Day, will be on Earth.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">And the Trumpet sounding, that is the Voice of God sounding through that instrument. That is the Great Voice of Trumpet with which all the elect will be called and gathered, 144,000 Hebrews; but first the elect of the Church, so that the fullness of the gentiles may be completed in the Church of Jesus Christ, so that the Church of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ may be completed.</span>\[JBP\] Further on, in that same message:<span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] (...) I thank you for everything you are doing for Puerto Rico, your prayers, and everything you are doing so that a large auditorium can be built there.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Also, this Third Pull we do not know if we will also see it in other countries or if it will only be in one place; but people always want the best for their country; but it may happen that in some countries there will also be some moments when this Third Pull will be seen.</span>\[JBP\] Pray to God so that this Third Pull will be also manifested in your country, if it is in the Divine Program, so be it. But remember that it will be in places where they are not denominationalized.And before it gets to that time it has to be, or the time has to come (as it has been happening), where that segregation, the test, is taking place. Because if it had all started to happen right there, then God would have had followers of signs in the Age of the Cornerstone. And the first thing is the Word.And there, that time, you are getting to know who is who, whose spirit they are from.Look, Polycarp, having a faultless life, and only for that *small* inclination lost a very, very great blessing: to be the messenger of the second age of the gentile Church.<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">\[**“THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES”**\]</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] But it will be seen in all countries at the same time: through the satellite and the screens that they will have in different countries, churches, governments as well and all those things. When that time comes, radio and television companies will surely want to connect to those transmissions. In other words, there will come a time when all that will happen.</span><span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">\[JBP\] That is why we tell you: Have the antennas and everything well adjusted, and the corresponding equipment in your auditoriums; as he always recommended us: <span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] “To have good screens, good sound.”</span><sup>[<sup>15</sup>](#sdfootnote15sym)</sup> Because what is the point of having a good screen and people not being able to hear well? A good sound too, so that when the time comes, you will not be running looking for antennas and transmission equipment.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">\[WSS\] All that change will be seen, that connection with Israel, will also be seen on television as well.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">So we have to keep our eyes open; because before you had the height you have, you started small. Let us watch the beginning in a simple way; let us watch how he will grow, grow, grow, until he reaches the top, until he fulfills what was prophesied.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">But first it has to start in simplicity. Reverend William Branham says that the Seventh Seal, when it begins it will be something simple, simple but it will be a complete secret.<sup>[<sup>16</sup>](#sdfootnote16sym)</sup></span><span style="color: #ff0000;">So the world will not know what will be happening at the beginning of the Seventh Seal, and neither the churches<span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> (\[JBP\] the denominational world)</span>; and if we are careless we will not see it either, we will not understand that first stage that comes in simplicity, simple.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">But after it is completely opened, then anyone will see it. And some people will say: “Now I can see it.” It is because they did not have good eyesight, they were asleep, in the simple stage when it started.</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">Well, we are waiting for every last one of the elect to enter the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ <span style="color: #00ccff; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">(\[JBP\] and he already entered)</span>, we are waiting for the fullness of the gentiles to come in; and then all Israel will be saved.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***Quotations***,<sup>[<sup>17</sup>](#sdfootnote17sym)</sup> on page 38, where it says… paragraph 312… he says:</span><span style="color: #333399;"> *312 - “*<sup>*\[76\]*</sup> *But, brother, we are waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God who will come back and take it over again.

Now the world and nature is groaning, crying, everything’s moving. What? For the manifestation of the sons of God, when true sons, born sons, filled sons speak and their word is backed. I believe we’re on the border of it right now.”*</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of <span style="color: #333399;">***The Seals***, there he speaks about that, on page 254 <span style="color: #333399;">\[p. 301 in Eng. (Fourth Seal)\]</span>:</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*179*</sup> Now, we had him coming, last night, with his great sword, to kill.</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*180*</sup> We find out that he gets killed with the sword, too, the sword of the Word.

Wait till them Seven Thunders utter Their voices to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand It there, It’ll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens. They can shut this, or do that, whatever they want to.</span>\[JBP\] And there, all the writings that you already have, <span style="color: #00ccff;">which we have talked about.</span><sup>[<sup>18</sup>](#sdfootnote18sym)</sup>\[*Rev.

See, the Sixth Seal is completely an interruption of nature.</span>\[JBP\] Now look at something: nature will be interrupted by that which speaks – that which will be spoken through those ministries; and the physical body that we have, that nature will be interrupted.In other words, every microsecond it is getting older, this nature, and the days go by and it is getting older; it will be interrupted, that nature, and it will be changed to an eternal and glorified body: by the spoken Word.Is it not by the spoken Word that the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God and will arise? It will be interrupted, then, the nature of death: “Death, I will be your death,” it says (Hosea, I think it is) \[Hosea 13:14\]. So even that is going to be interrupted in this end time.If the person continues to grow old: that will soon be stopped, when God gives us the eternal and glorified body.<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333399;">\[***The Seals***\]</span><span style="color: #333399;"><sup>*\[294\]*</sup> Do you get it now? \[Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.\] There is your Seal. Who does it? It’s the prophets, the other side of the Rapture. With the Power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down, or anything, at their command.</span>\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] All that… Let’s look it up in Hosea. (Hosea, it is after Daniel, it is those books that are close together there, one after the other there close together after Daniel; in other words, Joel, and all those books that are short). **Hosea 13:14**, it says:<sup>*14*</sup> \_I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.\_ \[*Rev.
