Perez*\] Thank you very much, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin; may God continue to bless you greatly; and we are very glad and very happy that you are there in Venezuela, with all the brethren there. And we are praying to God that He allows us to be there in Venezuela soon, and to share with all the brethren over there in the activities that we will have; and thus enjoy everything that God gives us for all the Venezuelan people, and also for all the brethren in every part of the world. Because of the current situation, well, we have not been able to go; but the brothers should know that it’s not that we haven’t wanted to be there, but that we haven’t been able to be there. But my heart is with you, Venezuelan people. And I know that all the brothers here in Puerto Rico too, we are with you, hand in hand; and now we are seeing each other through the Amazonas satellite, by internet, but I will be with you very soon. May God bless the Venezuelan people and help them. May they be delivered soon!, as it was spoken. May that Word be fulfilled soon! Today, Sunday, December 22 of this year 2024, we thank our heavenly Father that we are here in Puerto Rico again. And you have already heard some little things that were spoken this morning, and also with the lion cubs, whom we visited, about everything that God has been carrying out at this time, which corresponds to the restoration of the Kingdom and Throne of David. And have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2025, everyone! May God pour out great blessings upon all of God's elect who have come up the Age of the Cornerstone!: spiritual blessings, material blessings; and may He always open our understanding, open the Scriptures to us; may He give us all the wisdom that we need; and may He keep us healthy and strong until our transformation. In the Eternal and glorious Name, as Son of David, King of kings and Lord of lords, Oh, eternal God, in Your Claiming Work, William. Amen and amen. For this occasion we have the subject: **THE PROPHECIES FOR THE RESTORATION** **OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID** **(Ministers’ Meeting)** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Saturday, July 8, 2006* *(Second activity)* *Santiago, Chile* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And let’s search in the book of Revelation, in chapter 11, verse 15, where it tells us: **Revelation 11:15** *15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.* \[JBP\] He writes there on the right, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**The kingdoms of the world**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And in Revelation, chapter 12, verse 7 on, it tells us: **Revelation 12:7** *7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,* *8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.* *9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth* (\[JBP\] he writes upwards there): *\[WSS\] «**the whole world is deceived**»* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 13:14, 9:1, 9:11**»* *the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.* *10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ* (\[JBP\] and above he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 11:15**»**: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.* *11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb* (\[JBP\] and there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 5:9-10**»**, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.* \[JBP\] And there he draws a Star of David. *12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.* **THE PROPHECIES FOR THE** **RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] It tells us in the message “PRAY AND WORK FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM,” which was preached Saturday, January 21, 2012 in Bogota, Colombia, it says: **PRAY AND WORK FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM** **(Ministers’ Meeting)** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Saturday, January 21, 2012* *Bogota, Colombia* And when speaking of the Coming of the Kingdom of God, of which Christ said while teaching His disciples to pray, the Lord’s Prayer, \[when He\] where He says: “After this manner therefore pray…” Chapter 6, verse 8 and on, and especially verse 10: “*Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.* *Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven* (or here on Earth)*.”* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of **“THE AGES” unedited**, on page 614, it tells us…, this is from the message “REVELATION” or “REVELATION, CHAPTER FOUR #3” it tells us: \[*The Revelation Of Jesus Christ* - 61-0108 - “Revelation, Chapter Four #3,” p. 37, paras. 225-226\] *225 How did it? Self-will. “Why will you call that ‘self-will,’ Brother Branham?” Because it puts a man and woman back again just like Adam and Eve at the garden of Eden* (\[JBP\] on the left there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**free will**»**. On what? The two trees! Self-will, this one is death.* This *one is Life, self-will. Immoral… Free moral agency! God placed the first man, Adam and Eve, right here on free moral agency. He places you the same place. And the only way that you can get this thing fixed in* here *is your own self-will. Hallelujah! Your self-will! You have to will to do God’s Will. You have to get rid of your own will to let God’s Will come in, for this is the only channel that leads to the heart.* *226 Oh, you can join church, you Baptists and Presbyterians.* \[JBP\] There in the previous paragraph, on the left he draws three circles, a Cornerstone and the ages; and in the middle circle he makes a check mark \[√\], and also in the Cornerstone, a check mark like this \[√\]. And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**free will**»* as well. All of that on the bottom left: the three circles, the Cornerstone and the ages, and *\[WSS\] «**free will**»*, or once again, because he writes it above. *\[226\] And you Methodists and Pilgrim Holiness can come to sanctification. But you have to will to do God’s Will, self-will, to let the Holy Spirit come in* here*, to bring forth. “These signs shall follow them that believe. In My Name they shall cast out devils. They* shall *speak with new tongues. They shall lay their hands on the sick or take up deadly things, and so forth. These signs shall follow them that has let their will become My Will, and the works that I do shall they do also.”* \[JBP\] There he makes three circles again, and a Cornerstone and the ages; and he also makes a check mark \[√\] on the little circle in the center and on the Cornerstone. *\[226\] I hope you don’t miss It. There’s a will to do God’s Will. You see what I mean?* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say \[**(MM) “PRAY AND WORK FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM”**\]: \[WSS\] How is the will of God going to be done on Earth? It’s through the One who will sit on the Throne of David at the Last Day. \[JBP\] Notice how the Will is going to be done: through the one who will sit on the Throne of David. \[WSS\] In the same sentence, before saying: *“Give us this day our daily bread,”* it says: “*Thy kingdom come.”* For what? *“Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”* For God’s will to be done on Earth. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of ***The Ages***, edited; in this one it’s 188; in this other one it is 187; there it tells us…, where it starts to say \[P. 172\]: The members of the virgin bride will love Him, and they will have His potentials, for He is their head, and all power belongs to Him. They are subject to Him as the members of our bodies are subject to our heads. \[JBP\] And there on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary (\[JBP\] and there he draws a little Cornerstone)). The bride has the mind of Christ… \[JBP\] And there on the left he draws a Cornerstone. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Mind**»*. Here in *this* one he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Mary = The Bride**»*. He also wrote there: *\[WSS\] «**There is no more death**»*. The bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has “thus saith the Lord.” Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full **harvest**, serving its purpose. \[JBP\] In “harvest,” there on the right he writes… or he draws a Star of David. Those in the bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise (\[JBP\] there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages). They have “thus saith the Lord” or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word (\[JBP\] that is, doing God’s Will). He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride. \[JBP\] There he writes, on the right: *\[WSS\] «**The Holy Spirit works in and through the Bride. Galatians 1:1-6**»*. And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, notice, our brother William continues to say here \[**(MM) “PRAY AND WORK FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM”**\]: \[WSS\] It is in the only way that the people on planet Earth and all nations will do the will of God on Earth… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Also in the book of ***Quotations***…, let’s go to page 69, paragraph 603, it tells us: \[62-0527 - “Questions And Answers,” pp. 10-11, paras. 54, 58, 61-62\] *603 - “\[54\] In Genesis 1:26 to 28, He made man in His Own image* (\[JBP\] and in “His Own image” he writes): *\[WSS\] «**theophany**»**, created him and give him…subdued the kingdoms and give him all these powers and everything, and yet He had never created the man yet.* *\[58\] Now notice in Genesis again, 1:21, God created the whales in the sea. He done everything, and made the creation, made man in His Own image* (\[JBP\] and again he writes): *\[WSS\] «**theophany**»**. Made man, not “a” man, whole man, all of them in His Own image.(...)* \[JBP\] And again he writes there: *\[WSS\] «**theophany**».* *603 - “\[61\] It’s God speaking in His thoughts, in His mind, what He had. Here’s where He actually done the deed.* *62 Jesus was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”* \[JBP\] And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**In the mind**»*. And above the paragraph, on page 69, notice, there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Adam = in the image of God – theophany. He had all the power**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, it continues to say, here where we left off \[**(MM) “PRAY AND WORK FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM”**\]: \[WSS\] It is in the only way that the people on planet Earth and all nations will do the will of God on Earth, because they will be ruled by God from the Throne of David in the restoration of the Kingdom of David; and that will happen through the manifestation of God in the Messiah, the One anointed with the Spirit of God; and that corresponds to the Last Day. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 30 from the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 252, look, it tells us: \[59-1217 - “What Was The Holy Ghost Given For?” p. 8, paras. 31-32\] \[Study “The Restoration to Eden,” 29/Nov/2023 (Wednesday), pp. 31-33\] *252 - “\[31\] God poured Himself into Christ. Correct.* *32 Christ poured Himself into the Church. Therefore, now watch, ‘At that day you will know that I am in the Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. At that day you’ll know it.’ For, it’s, the whole thing is one plan of redemption coming down, that God coming back to live in, and dwell with, and commune to His people, as He did at the beginning. Now, then, as soon as He gets His Church in speaking conditions, gets His Church to a place that He can flow Himself through, and love, and persuade, and fellowship, then there will come a Eden* (\[JBP\] and on the left he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Eden**»**. He’ll take His Church back to where It—It left Him at, back to an Eden again, there where It fell.”* \[JBP\] And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**restoration to Eden**»*, and he draws a Cornerstone. *252 - “\[32\] That’s where It made Its first start, or fall. There is where It’ll be taken right back, with every clean slate of redemption, bringing them straight back to that place again.”* \[JBP\] And he writes on the right: *\[WSS\] «**Adam**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Redemption – Eden**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“GOD’S GIFTS ALWAYS FIND THEIR PLACES,”** preached by Reverend William Branham, on page 18 of this message… Now look, he preached this message on a day like today: on a Sunday, December 22, 1963. Now look at what he says there: \[63-1222 - “God's Gifts Always Find Their Places,” p. 15, paras. 73-75\] \[Bible Study #239, 18-1/Sep/2022 (Sunday), pp. 51-56\] *73 The whole creation was lost. We just went through it in the Seven Seals. See, the whole creation was lost, everything was gone. It all belonged to Satan. He fell heir to it and he still owns it. He certainly does. That’s the reason we’re fighting and having all of this trouble. He controls every kingdom; Satan does.* \[JBP\] We saw his writing there: *\[WSS\] «the whole world is deceived».* *\[73\] … Satan does. Every government, every king, every kingdom, controlled by Satan. The whole world is controlled and run by Satan. That’s the reason we have the troubles that we have. Any Bible student, or anything, can tell you that Satan…Well, the Bible Itself says he did, see, that he controls the world. But Christ will fall Heir to it, for now He is our Redeemer. And He come to redeem the whole creation, and nothing could do it but God Himself.* *74 That’s the reason that God does nothing outside of a man. He always works through a man because He had to use a man. A man is what He had to use to display His attribute of Saviour. He had to make him in His image, make him something like Him, and put him on free-moral agency and let him act any way he wanted to. He could take his choice* (\[JBP\] and there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**God uses the man**»**. And He knew that man, by giving him this choice, would fall. So being that He had to do that, He turns back around and makes the man a partner to Him, and does nothing except He does it through a man!* \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**God does nothing without man**»*. *75 The whole work of redemption come by a man! Hallelujah! Death come by the first man, Life come by the second Adam* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**2nd Adam**»* (\[JBP\] on the left)*. See? There you are, He does nothing because He had to use a man for that, then He uses a man to redeem back again. So Deity become Jehovah, or, Jehovah be-… He is Deity, and He become a—a Child. He become in the form of sin, that He might redeem the sinner. See, there’s the whole thing.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message titled “THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS,” which Dr. William Soto preached to us on September 23, 2012 here in Cayey, Puerto Rico, it tells us: **THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, September 23, 2012* *Cayey, Puerto Rico* In other words, a time is coming when God will be speaking face to face with Israel, and it will be through the ministry of Moses and Elijah, and then through the Messiah; and that is very near. Just as there was a silence there in the passage that we read in chapter 23, verses 23 to 25, of Leviticus, in the feast of the trumpets, where the reason for that feast that was being commemorated was not explained, likewise, when the Seventh Seal is opened in Revelation, chapter 8, it says: “When the Seventh Seal was opened, there was silence in Heaven about the space of half an hour.” \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 196 from the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 924, it tells us: \[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” p. 21, paras. 143-145\] \[Study “What lies between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal before the Rapture,” 14/Aug/2023 (Monday), p. 23\] *924 - “143 But what He wanted to do, He loved fatherhood, for He was a Father. And the only way that He could express it was to become a Son, a Man.”* \[JBP\] Above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**God loved fatherhood**»*. And he writes, next to 924, he writes on the left: *\[WSS\] «**S.M.**»*, that is, Son of Man. *924 - “\[143\] That’s the reason Jesus kept saying, ‘The Son of man.’ See, they didn’t know what He was talking about, many of them. But now you get it? See? He wanted to express Hisself. That was His, one of His great threefold purposes, was to express Himself, identify Himself with human beings, to reveal Hisself in Christ.* *144 Secondly, to have the preeminence in His Body of believers, that is, His Bride, that He might live in people.”* \[JBP\] And there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the right. *924 - “145 Now, He could do that in Adam and Eve, but sin* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Adam and Eve**»* (\[JBP\] on the right) *separated them, so now there had to be some way to get it back again.”* \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The restoration between God and man**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in this message: “AT KADESH-BARNEA,” there he tells us…, on page 17 of this message **“AT KADESH-BARNEA,”** it says: \[56-0527 - “At Kadesh-Barnea,” pp. 21-22, paras. 144-148\] \[Study “The path provided by God to enter the promised land,” 27/July/2022 (Wednesday), pp. 30-32 / Bible Study #405, 21-2/Apr/2024 (Sunday), pp. 18-19\] *144 What was those little springs? Are churches, representing, that went out, where the judgment begin at the house of God. Jesus said so. The—the Bible said so. Judgment begins at the house of God. We’re in the house of God, tonight, and you’ve got to make your decision.* *145 You’ve got to make your decision, whether you’ll come to Christ, or whether you’ll turn Him down tonight. Every sinner in here has got to make that decision right now.* \[JBP\] There he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The judgments in the House of God**»*. *146 You’ll either go out of that door, a better man or woman than what you come in, or you’ll go out worse than you was when you come in. You can’t stand mediocre tonight. You’ve got to make it.* *147 This was on my heart, now it’s on…It was on my heart, now it’s on your hand* (\[JBP\] now, on the left he draws three circles)*. You’ve got to make your decision. And you got to make a decision* (\[JBP\] notice, the decision that Adam and Eve also made in the Garden of Eden)*. You’ve been maybe a good church member. Maybe you’ve always longed that you wanted more of God. You might wanted to do something for God. Remember, you’re only mortal once, and that one time is the only time you’re going to be mortal. And this may be the time that you’ve got to make your decision. You’re either going to move up with God, or stay where you’re at.* \[JBP\] The decision is here. *148 You might have to make your decision tonight. If it is, I pray that you’ll throw everything loose. Remember, I don’t care what it is, if it’s job, if it’s family, if it’s loved ones, if it’s associates, if it’s your partners, or whoever it is, turn loose of everything. “He that even puts his hand on the plow, and even turns to look back, is not worthy of the plowing.” That’s right.* \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**In the House of God — Time to get closer to God (how do you get closer?), or to separate yourself forever (how do you separate yourself?), it’s when you are here in the body**»*. \[JBP\] How do you get closer to God? By receiving the fulfillment of His Coming. How do you turn away? By rejecting Him. As simple as that. *\[148\] “Lay aside every weight and the sin does so easily beset you.” What is that? “Lay aside every weight, and the unbelief that does so easily beset you, and run this race with patience, that’s set before you.”* \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Weight of sin = all that is or leads to sin, to unbelief**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice, where we read, on page 106, paragraph 924, that last sentence there, says \[***Quotations***\]: \[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” p. 21, para. 145\] *924 - “145 Now, He could do that in Adam and Eve, but sin separated them, so now there had to be some way to get it back again.”* \[JBP\] Now, notice that He provided the provided way; but notice that every person has free will. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look, our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS”**\]: \[WSS\] And also when Christ was speaking of the Coming of the Son of Man, and then He went into parables and spoke of the fig tree, which is Israel, that “when we see it budding and putting forth its leaves, summer is near” \[Matthew 24:32, Mark 13:28, Luke 21:29-30\], meaning, the Kingdom of God is near, for the restoration of the Kingdom of David; that is the Kingdom of God with Israel on Earth. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 70 of the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 604, it tells us: \[62-0527 - “Questions And Answers,” p. 27, para. 165\] \[Study “The Jewish Age,” 2/Sep/2023 (Saturday), p. 37\] *604 - “165 All these great promises of great things that you’ve seen in the Bible, like what’s going to take place, that’s over into the Jewish kingdom, not here amongst the Gentiles. I believe that they’ll have a rally by this one that’s supposed to come to restore the Faith of the people, which is promised. And the only way I can get that, because He said, ‘Immediately after this Message, that, the earth will be burnt with heat, fire.’”* \[JBP\] Above there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah / Jewish Kingdom**»*. And above there, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**\[the Earth burned\]**»*. *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah / Jewish Kingdom \[the Earth burned\]**»*. And under «Moses and Elijah» he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Matthew 21:31**»*. And on the left upwards he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Jewish Kingdom / the gathering / Rev. 11: , 14-1**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues to say here in this message \[**“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS”**\]: \[WSS\] And he had also said in Luke, chapter 21 \[Luke 21:28\], that “when these things begin to come to pass, to lift up our heads (to heavenly things, of course), for our redemption (the redemption is the redemption of the body: our transformation and the resurrection in eternal bodies of the believers who died)… our redemption (the adoption) draws nigh.” Our transformation is near when we see these things happening; and we are seeing for years that it is happening. The fig tree: Israel, it has become budded, it is a free and sovereign nation. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 68, paragraph 592, it tells us \[***Quotations***\]: \[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 65-66, paras. 510-514\] \[Bible Study #279, 5/Feb/2023 (Sunday), pp. 9-11 / Bible Study #364, 1-2/Dec/2023 (Friday), pp. 8-9, 11-12\] *592 – “510 ‘Prophesy, son of man. Can these bones live?’ Wish we had time. I got it wrote down here, but I have to miss that. ‘Prophesy. Can these bones live?’ What’s the four stages of Ezekiel’s dry bones coming forth? But the Life only come, not when the sinew skin was on them, but when the wind blowed upon them. That’s when come back that fourth Message of Life.* *511 ‘I will restore, saith the Lord.’ Hallelujah! Glory! Praise be to God. The fourth Light is to come, that will bring forth the same signs.”* \[JBP\] On the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Light**»*; and the last three: *\[WSS\] «**1, 2, 3**»*, and the fourth *\[WSS\] «**4**»*: the Cornerstone; and he draws lightrays. And on the left as well, the same thing: *\[WSS\] «**4th Light**»*, a Cornerstone and the ages, and he numbers up to the fourth there. *592 - “\[511\] Watch. Justification* (\[JBP\] there) *\[WSS\] «**1**»* *brought back the pulp.* *\[WSS\] «**2**»* *Sanctification brought back the bark, doctrine of holiness.* *512 What brought back the leaf? Pentecostals. What is it?* (\[JBP\] there he writes) *\[WSS\] «**3**»* *Pentecostals, leaves, clap their hand, joy, rejoicing, Pentecostal.* *513* *\[WSS\] «**4**»* *What? The fourth was the Word, Itself. The Word made flesh, fruits of the proof of the resurrection sign that Christ has finally, after justification been planted, sanctification been planted, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Organizations died out. And Christ has again centered Himself like that cap of the pyramid.”* \[JBP\] And there he draws on the right a Star of David. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Cornerstone**»* (upwards). *592 - “\[513\] First line, justification; sanctification; baptism of the Holy Ghost; then coming of the Cap* (\[JBP\] and there he draws a little Cornerstone)*.* *514 What is it? That Holy Ghost bunch being honed out so that it can fit with the same kind of ministry He had when He went away, that, when He comes back* (\[JBP\] and he writes: *\[WSS\] «**in His Coming**»**, it’ll catch* (\[JBP\] or take) *the whole thing in the Rapture…”* \[JBP\] There on the right he also draws a Cornerstone and the last three, and he numbers them. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rapture**»* (on the bottom left, on the left, at the bottom). *592 - “\[514\] He had when He went away, that, when He comes back, it’ll catch the whole thing* (\[JBP\] or take the whole thing) *in the Rapture, where the justified, sanctified, and baptism of the Holy Ghost. That pyramid will stand again.”* *\[WSS\] «**Masterpiece**»* he writes there. And he draws above a Cornerstone and the ages. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, that writing, I think we read it in Africa\*, where he writes to us there: \*\[Bible Study #473, 15/Dec/2024 (Sunday), p. \_\_ \] *\[WSS\] «**In the four stages of the restoration of Israel there are men, a leader, a man for every stage of this restoration:* *1st stage = An earthquake. Every bone coming together with the one that pertains to it.* *2nd stage =* *3rd stage=* *4th stage = The entrance of the Holy Spirit into the body, nation of Israel: He comes in a man made flesh**».* \[JBP\] The Spirit of God has entered Israel. The Spirit of God entered Israel! That prophecy already… Ezekiel, chapter 37, tells us… And notice… chapter 37, verse 1: **Ezekiel 37:1** *1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,* *2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.* *3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.* *4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.* *5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:* \[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David there on the left. *6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.* *7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.* *8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.* *9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.* *10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.* \[JBP\] There on the left upwards he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Matthew 24:31; Rev. 22:17, 19:11-21, 11:3-6**»*. \[JBP\] Now, notice, that is the ministry of Moses and Elijah; it is the Coming of the white horse of Revelation 19; and Revelation 11 is the ministries of Moses and Elijah. But how…? Notice, it’s the same. Because what the Seventh Seal is to the Church: the Coming of the Lord, is the Seventh Trumpet to Israel: Moses and Elijah. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look at this other writing: *\[WSS\] «**3 stages have already been fulfilled, and the 4th stage is left: where the Holy Spirit returns to Israel as a people**»*. \[JBP\] Now, how that God fulfills everything and it is spoken in such a simple way; and the great Work that God has been carrying out, and is carrying out, and will continue to carry out, in that way, where, notice, the world stays the same. But in the Divine Program it is fulfilled; and we are further along, very far along, more than we imagine. Now notice, he continues saying… Now look, we traveled through four continents before going to Israel. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, it continues to say \[**“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS”**\]: \[WSS\] So we can see that we have to have our minds, our heads, set on heavenly things, which are the permanent ones; because through the Final Trumpet, the Voice of God says here in the Scripture that He is going to judge all nations; and the divine judgment is going to come upon the human race, upon nature, even upon the stars and all these things: the sun, the moon and the stars. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message - or in the book of **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”** on page 15 (in yours it’s 18); page 18 tells us… here on page 15 it says: \[*The Seventy Weeks Of Daniel* - 61-0730M - “Gabriel's Instructions To Daniel,” p. 12, para. 63\] 63 Like, each Seal broken in the Word of God, reveals to the man of the age, what age we’re living in, the spirit of the age, the church of the age. Revelations 10, at the end, we find when the last Seal was broke, we find the Angel standing with one foot on the land, and one on the sea, with His hands up to Heaven, and a rainbow over His head, swearing by Him that lives forever and ever, that time has run out, when the last Seal. \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The redemption in the 2nd Coming**»*. Because the last Seal is the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord. \[63\] And you wait till we get in them Seals and see where that Seal is at. After you find the seventy of weeks, then see where the Seals are, “Time has run out,” redemption is over, He is now the Lion and the Judge. He is your Saviour this morning, but one day He will be your Judge. \[JBP\] Above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The time (of Redemption) is over, says the Mighty Angel of Rev. 10:1-10**»* (he writes above, in the margin). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Here in the book of “THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL” is the part about the pardon that the judge granted him, but who was his attorney before ( I don’t know if it was here…). If you can find it we can read it, because there brother Branham speaks about… I don’t know if it’s in this book of **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS”**…; it should be here in the…; I didn’t have it marked to read it, but let’s find it quickly. Let’s see the… Page 12, yes. It’s 13 in this one, or page 12 at the bottom, which would be 15: \[*The Seventy Weeks Of Daniel* - 61-0730M - “Gabriel's Instructions To Daniel,” pp. 10-11, paras. 53-54\] 53 You remember the pardon, that the man was shot, that I sometimes tell? During the civil war… \[JBP\] Now, there is another…, there is another stor...- it must be in another one, another book, where he talks about that: \[WMB\] “Yes, but I used to be the attorney, but now I’m the judge.” But in this case he talks about how a pardon is not a pardon until it is accepted; but let’s read it. \[53\] He was a good man. He was innocent, and they found him guilty. Although, he was guilty in a way, that he run away in time of battle. And they found him guilty and was going to shoot him. And a man went to President Lincoln and said, “Mr. Lincoln, this is a Christian man. He was scared. The boy, I know his people. He was just afraid. He didn’t mean no harm. He run away.” Said, “Mr. Lincoln, it’s in your hands. You’re the only one can pardon him.” \[JBP\] Now, remember that \[WMB\] the only place there is mercy, brother Branham says, is through Elijah and Moses. *\[WSS\] «He who receives His Message receives mercy»**\**. \*\[Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), p. 15: *The Seals*, “The Sixth Seal,” pp. 424-425, paras. 360-362 - *\[WSS\] «**Elijah and Moses, he who receives His Message receives mercy**».* \[53\] Mr. Lincoln picked up a piece of paper and his pen, and signed, “Pardon this So-and-so. Abraham Lincoln.” He ran back to the jail, and he said, “Here it is. I got your pardon.” 54 And the man said, “I refuse to look at it. It would have a big seal on it. It would be everything. You’re only trying to make me a laughingstock. It is not Abraham Lincoln (\[JBP\] that is, well… that should have a seal there). Anybody could sign his name (\[JBP\] on the right he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Today the Seal is the Holy Spirit**»*. But it would have to be documented by his seal, and so forth, if it comes from him.” And the man persuaded him; though the man in the prison thought he was kidding, and just walked away. The next morning, he was shot. And then after he was shot, then there was a federal court trial, because Abraham Lincoln, twenty-four hours before the man was shot, signed his name that this man was pardoned. \[JBP\] How many times am I persuading all those who hear me! But notice, if they don’t receive it, if they don’t accept it, that’s an individual affair already. \[54\] And then the government shot him, anyhow. Then what? Then the federal court of the United States, said, come to this decision of the Federal courts, said, “A pardon is not a pardon unless it be received as a pardon.” \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice…, let’s see here if we can find it in this other place in… What page is it? This is from the message… Let’s see here, it says \[**“THE ENTOMBMENT”**\]: \[57-0420 - “The Entombment,” pp. 15-16, paras. 115-120\] \[Study “Eating of the Tree of Life at the First and Second Coming,” 16/Oct/2023 (Monday), pp. 19-20\] *115 Little story comes to my mind. Some time ago a little boy was sitting in a—a wagon. A gun fired down the street, and the horses run away, he was going over a cliff. A young cowboy run and stopped the horses just before the wagon went over the cliff, ’cause it had a baby in it. He saved the little one’s life* (\[JBP\] there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Saviour**»**.* \[JBP\] This was… we read it in the subject: “EATING OF THE TREE OF LIFE.”\* \*\[Study “Eating of the Tree of Life at the First and Second Coming,” 16/Oct/2023 (Monday), pp. 19-20\] *116 Many years after that, standing in the courthouse. This same boy had done a crime, took the road that’s wrong, been guilty* (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Judge**»**. (...) And the judge raised up and said, “I sentence you to hang by your neck until your mortal life is gone.”* *117 That young man said, “Judge!” And he broke the court procession, as he jumped over the rail and fell at the judge’s feet, for mercy* (\[JBP\] there was trust; he broke the protocol there, he jumped over there: “But Judge…! As if to say, “You know me!”)*. He said, “Judge, look at my face! Don’t you know me?”* \[JBP\] How sad that is! When the time will come when they will be told: “I know you now.” That will be very sad, when they will come: “I don’t know you. I don’t know where you are from.” That’s what happened to this young man. *\[117\] “Judge, look at my face! Don’t you know me?” He said, “No, son, I don’t.”* *118 He said, “You remember a certain little boy’s life that you saved, many years ago, from a runaway horse?”* *He said, “Yes, I remember it.”* *119 He said, “I am that boy.” He said, “Judge* (\[JBP\] the young man said)*, you saved me then. Save me now!”* *120 The judge looked down at him, and said, “Son, that day I was your saviour. Today I’m your judge.”* \[JBP\] In the book of *The Seals* he says: \[WMB\] “Don’t wait…,” the place where he says: “Don’t wait for… the change,” or “for Him to be Judge. Your time is now,”\* he says something like that. \* Now look, there is also a place here, in this same book, of a writing that he (but we will find it later)..., where he speaks about…, that now He is Judge. In other words, He would change from Lamb to Lion, in other words, to Judge. Here look, he writes there, there’s also the place where it says: *\[WSS\] «**A pardon is not a pardon until it is received as a pardon**»*, he writes there on the back as well. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message titled “THE STONE CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS,” which was preached on November 12 11, 2012, here in Cayey, Puerto Rico, he says: **THE STONE CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, November 11, 2012* *Cayey, Puerto Rico* The world system of the kingdom of the Gentiles is about to collapse, and consequently, the feet of iron and clay are to be broken to pieces; and after that, it says that the Stone cut out without hands, cut out of the mountain, grew and became a great Empire, a great Kingdom, which filled the whole Earth \[Daniel 2:34-35\]. The Stone cut out without hands is the Messiah in His Coming at the Last Day… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Page 117 of the book of **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”** tells us… (Which would be 135 and 136; but in this version it’s 117), it says…, here it’s paragraph 137: \[*The Seventy Weeks Of Daniel* - 61-0806 - “The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,” p. 100, para. 137\] 137 Now, because that they’re in shape, (See where I got this shaped here like the pyramid, the rising of the saints?) makes the march into Glory. You understand it now? Christ, the Headstone, the rejected Stone, the all-seeing Eye (\[JBP\] there on the left he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the Stone / the Eye**»*, coming exactly like the Bible said. And Daniel said he watched this Gentile age until a Stone (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Christ**»* (\[JBP\] above) come out of the mountain (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Church**»* (\[JBP\] above), that wasn’t cut with hands. They have never put a capstone on that pyramid. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, where did it come from? From the mountain, from the Church. In ***The Ages***, where we read there, if you read a bit further back… Let’s see there…, on page…, here on page 118; let’s see something there, so we don’t forget (in this one it would be 187…, 186 below; 188 in this red one) \[P. 171\]: The second Son (Jesus), also a spoken Seed-Word of God was given a bride like as was Adam. But before He could marry her, she also had fallen. She, like Adam’s wife, was put to the test whether she would believe the Word of God and live, or doubt the Word and die. She doubted. She left the Word. She died (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Your first love**»*. From a little group of the true seed of the Word, God will present Christ with a beloved bride. She is a virgin of His Word. She is a virgin because she knows no man-made creeds or dogmas. By and through the members of the bride will be fulfilled all that was promised of God to be made manifest in the virgin. \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**A Word-Son**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Notice, where we were reading here, from “**THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL.”** Where does that Stone come from? He says \[WMB\] “from the mountain,” that is, he says: *«the Church»* \[P. 100\]. …that wasn’t cut with hands. They have never put a capstone on that pyramid. \[Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit two times.\] It wasn’t cut by man’s hands. It’s God’s hand that cut the Stone (\[JBP\] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages). You see it? \[“Amen.”\] And what did It do? It hit the image right smack in the feet, and broke it to pieces, ground it into powder. Hallelujah! What happened at that time, the coming of that Stone? Up went the Church into Glory, at the Rapture, ’cause it ended the Gentile dispensation. God ended it up, the coming of that Stone. \[JBP\] And he writes on the left: *\[WSS\] «**The Stone / Rapture**»*. And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. And he writes on the right towards the top: *\[WSS\] «**The Coming of the Stone ends the Gentile Dispensation**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE STONE CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS”**\]: \[WSS\] … and His Kingdom, His Empire, will grow and cover the whole earth, with its capital in the land of Israel, in the city of Jerusalem, and all the territory of Israel as a Federal District. And that is how Israel will become the head of all nations. Just as the federal district along with its capital is the head of every nation, likewise, it will be the head of the global Kingdom of the Messiah: Israel, with Jerusalem as the capital of that Kingdom; because Jerusalem is the City of God, it is the Throne of God, where the Throne of the Messiah will be, which is called the Throne of David, which will be restored by the Prince Messiah as Son of David, and therefore the Kingdom of David will be restored; and that will be the coming of the Kingdom of God to Israel. This is how the Kingdom of God will come to Israel and the Kingdom of God will be restored to Israel, which will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David, because the Kingdom of God on Earth is the Kingdom of David, and the Throne of God on Earth is the Throne of David… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 112 as well, of **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”** which would be 130, here it tells us…, it’s paragraph 118: \[*The Seventy Weeks Of Daniel* - 61-0806 - “The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,” p. 96, para. 118\] 118 How, Pentecostal brother, how can you apply them all over here in the Laodicean Church Age? They’re—they’re sleeping, through every one of these ages, waiting. “And we which are alive, the little remaining bunch over here, remain alive until…The coming of the Lord will not hinder those which are asleep; for the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first (\[JBP\] there he writes, on the left towards the top): *\[WSS\] «**the Trumpet of the Lord shall sound**»*; and we shall be caught up together with them,” amen, “with them,” *here* we are, meeting right *here*, “to go to meet the Lord in the air.” And there you are. Where we at? Right *here*. Where did the Messiah get cut off? Exactly where the Word said. Where will that seventieth week begin? Exactly after this Church is cut off. Then God returns to the Jews. \[JBP\] And there on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The remnant**»*. \[JBP\] Now notice, this is when the Dispensation of Grace ends. 119 Don’t you remember? That’s as soon as the Church goes. The Church goes, then the Jews take a hold, come in. But, first, the next thing in order, is not a mighty national—national revival amongst the Gentiles. The next thing in order, is the coming of the Kingdom of God, the Coming of Christ. \[JBP\] And he draws a small Cornerstone there on the left. And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 19:11-21, 10;1-11, 7:2**»*. And above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Mount Transfiguration**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he continues to say, in this other message titled “A DIVINE MIND,” - “A DIVINE GOAL,” (correction) “A DIVINE GOAL: THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID,” preached on November 30, 2012, in Panama, he tells us: **A DIVINE GOAL: THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Saturday, November 30, 2012* *Panama, Panama* In order for the Kingdom of God to be restored on Earth, which will be the restoration of the Kingdom of David, the tribe of Joseph, made up of the tribe of Ephraim and the tribe of Manasseh, must be united. Manasseh represents the Jews, which are represented in 144,000 (12,000 of each tribe), and Ephraim also represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is where the Birthright Blessing is, and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which would become a multitude of nations, has the largest part of that blessing. And Manasseh would form a great nation, that is Israel, a mighty nation… \[JBP\] Now notice, the Birthright Blessing is in Joseph. What did he tell Ruthy? He told her: \[WSS\] “It’s because he has the Birthright Blessing.” Now notice: \[WSS\] ... in other words, the blessing for the formation of Israel as a mighty nation fell upon Manasseh; and the blessing to become a multitude of nations, as it was given to Abraham: that his seed would form a multitude of nations, and then that blessing is given to Ephraim. Notice how everything moves for the fulfillment of that Word that was spoken from God by the mouth of a prophet named Jacob or Israel. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 169 of the book of ***Quotations***, look, paragraph 1507, it tells us: \[65-1204 - “The Rapture,” pp. 28-29, paras. 152-153\] \[Bible Study #236, 9/Sep/2022 (Friday), pp. 18-19\] *1507 – “\[152\] Shout: a messenger getting the people ready.* *The second is a voice of the resurrection: the same voice, that, a loud voice in Saint John 11:38-44, that called Lazarus from the grave.* *Getting the Bride together; and then the resurrection of the dead, see; to be caught up with It. Now watch the three things takes place. The next is what? Was a trumpet. A voice...A shout; a voice; a trumpet.* *153 Now, the third thing, is a trumpet, which, always, at the Feast of Trumpets, is calling the people to the feast. And that’ll be the Bride’s Supper, the Lamb’s Supper with the Bride, in the sky.”* \[JBP\] And he draws on the left a Cornerstone and the ages, there on the corner. And he writes upwards, on the left: *\[WSS\] «**The Voice of the Resurrection**»*. And also above he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Shout, the Voice of the Archangel, the Trumpet of God**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now there is a portion here in the message - the booklet, of **“THE RAPTURE,”** on page 25; and let’s see what it tells us there: \[65-1204 - “The Rapture,” pp. 24-25, paras. 129-131\] \[Bible Study #441, 25-2/Aug/2024 (Sunday), pp. 48-50\] *\[129\]* For the Lord himself (16th verse) shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and…the trump of God:… \[JBP\] That is in First Thessalonians 4:13-16. *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* (\[JBP\] and he writes there): *\[WSS\] «**God will do it through a prophet: all three things**»**. A shout, what is the shout? It’s the Message going forth, first.* \[JBP\] There he draws a Cornerstone. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**6:00 to 9:00 a.m.**»* *\[130\] …the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.* *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. 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.* \[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone there, and the ages. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say \[**“A DIVINE GOAL: THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] It had to be spoken in order to move for its fulfillment. That is the way it is done, God’s thought, God’s Word: when that divine thought passes to the heart and the mind of the prophet by whom that Word has to be spoken; and when it is spoken, it is already Word of God, the Word of God. “Surely the Lord will do nothing without revealing His secrets (to whom?) to His servants His prophets.” Amos, chapter 3, verse 7. For that Word of God “there is a famine upon the Earth” at this time (Amos, chapter 8, verse 11). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, he writes to us here, in a notecard, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Israel’s marriage with God on Mount Sinai**».* *«**God divorced Israel: and Moses has to return for the new marriage of Israel with God**»*. *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Israel’s marriage with God on Mount Sinai**».* *«**God divorced Israel: and Moses* (\[JBP\] meaning, the ministry of Moses) *has to return for the new marriage of Israel with God**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] There is a writing also in a notebook, where he wrote there, look: *\[WSS\] «**Whenever there has been a change…**»*. \[JBP\] I took a picture of it, let’s see if I can find it here, because it’s rather long; let’s see if you are able to see it on the screen, so that you can follow along with the reading; although there are parts that are very small, because he writes in between and it has Scriptures \[the picture is shown on the screen –Ed.\]. But look, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Whenever there has been a change, it has been because there was a change of age or dispensation in the Divine Program, even if human beings have not realized it in their time, nor through the person who brought it \[and the law of sowing and reaping was fulfilled\]. Then history records it, and they realize it: though too late for some in that generation**»*. \[JBP\] Because they overlook it, because it’s in such a simple way. *\[WSS\] «**Then it is said that that generation was very unbelieving because they didn’t understand the Divine Program**»*. *«****The Days of Noah****».* He writes: *«****The Days of Noah****».* And then, in between: *«**They knew not until the flood came and took them all away, destroyed them all. So shall the Coming of the Son of Man be. The ignorance of the human condition before God brought them destruction**»*. Because of ignorance. Now, he also writes there on the left side: *\[WSS\] «**\[And they ignored the things that would come to pass\]**»*. He writes there several Scriptures as well. *\[WSS\] «****The Days of Moses****».* *«****The Days of Elijah****».* *«**Jesus and the apostles brought the preparation for the second millennium, which was starting in its first century**».* *«**They brought…**».* (He writes there): *«****The Days of Jesus****».* *«**They brought the preparation for the second millennium under the Dispensation of Grace, it is the Message of the First Coming of Jesus Christ…**»* He also writes: *«****The Days of the apostles of Jesus****».* *«**... producing all the advancement that there is on Earth; a teaching produced that preparation to enter into the Dispensation of Grace**».* \[JBP\] Notice how a Teaching as well, which is the Teaching under Tent, prepares the Church-Bride to enter fully —in the glorious Millennial Kingdom— into the Dispensation of the Kingdom and into that Kingdom of the Messiah, that Kingdom of the Throne of David. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here \[**“A DIVINE GOAL: THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] The soul of mankind, of human beings, (what?) hungers for that Word of God at the end time, for that Word that must be spoken at the end time. It says that there will be a famine on Earth, “not of bread nor water, and not a thirst for water, but of hearing the Word of the Lord”. And the Word comes \[(to whom)\] (what?) to the prophets. For this reason, for that spiritual Food of the Word of God to come, and that Water, that Water of God, that Word must come by being spoken; and for that reason God must send a man with both consciouses together, to whom that Word comes and who speaks it; and so that it is then the Word of God for the Last Day, as it was in times past. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of ***The Seals***, on page 356 \[p. 409 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\], look, there it tells us (halfway down the page): 237 Here we are, these denominationals twist It up. They take all the glory and Power, place It back with the apostles, and the rest of It over in the Millennium. It’s just like a man, as I said before; a man is always giving God praise for what He has done, looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He is doing right now. That’s exactly. Man is still the same thing. \[JBP\] Above that, on the left of that paragraph he writes: *\[WSS\] «**out of ten things**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s stop there for a moment. Look, on page 17 \[p. 19 in Eng. (God Hiding…)\] is where he speaks to us about that \[***The Seals***\]: \[113\] Many miss Him by the way He reveals Himself. 114 Now, men has their own ideas of what God ought to be and what God is going to do. And as I have made the old statement many times, that, man still remains man. Man is always giving God praise for what He did do, and always looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He is doing. See? See? That’s the way they miss it. They look back and see what a great thing He done, but they fail to see what a simple thing He used, to do it with. See? And then they look forward and see a great thing coming, that’s going to happen, and, nine times out of ten, it’s already happening right around them. And it’s so simple that they don’t know it. See? \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**9 out of 10 things**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 24 as well, he tells us…; 23, look, page 23 \[p. 26 in Eng. (God Hiding…)\], halfway down it says \[***The Seals***\]: 164 Now, then, again in Moses’ day, notice another time of deliverance. 165 When God is just about to do something to deliver His people, God sends a Message to the people. And, It’s so simple, as we’ll catch in the breaking of these Seals. That was my purpose of bringing this first. That, we find out that the breaking of those Seals is so simple, the—the—the smart miss It, a million miles. \[JBP\] And he writes on the left: *\[WSS\] «**Simplicity**»*. And on the right a Cornerstone and the ages. \[165\] See? I hope that God anoints me for It. See? See? It just goes over the top. And that’s the reason I thought this Message, this morning, would be appropriate, to lay a foundation, on the simplicity of God, see, how God hides Himself in simplicity. 166 Just think, they can break atoms and do everything else; but when it comes to touching life, they can’t even tell where it come from. A simple blade of grass, and God is hid in it. They can fire a rocket to the moon, and—and shoot a radar over there, or whatever more, and yet can’t explain the life in a blade of grass. That’s right. See? It’s because it can’t be explained. It’s so simple, they overlook that. 167 Now notice Moses, in the day that God was going to deliver the children of Israel, according to His Word. He, what did He do? He chose a simple family. We have no record of them. See, just “a son of Levi,” is all we know. See? And so we…and his wife. Just a ordinary, probably a—a mud dauber, as the world would think, out there making brick for the enemy. He was just an ordinary slave in Israel, but God chose that family to bring forth the deliverer; just an ordinary Jewish family. He never went and got royalty and celebrity, or something, or even got some priest. He took a common, ordinary family. See? Simplicity! Notice what He done, then, He brought forth a child, a simple human being. He never… 168 He could have—He could have ordained the sun, if He wanted to, to deliver them. He could have ordained the wind to deliver them. He could have ordained an Angel to deliver them. Oh, hallelujah! God can do whatever He wants to do. “Well, how do you know then, Brother Branham?” 169 God won’t leave His program. That’s the reason we know that, this day, It’s got to be simple (\[JBP\] See?). See? Now, He always works in simplicity. But God, in the beginning, that could have made the sun preach the Gospel, or the winds preach the Gospel, or an Angel preach the Gospel, but He ordained men for that purpose, and He never changes it. He never ordained indi-…He never ordained denominations, He never ordained groups of men, He ordained men to preach the Gospel, not machinery, mechanical devices, or any Angelic Being, it was men. 170 And when He brought deliverance to the people down there, He sent a simple human being, born of a simple family in a bunch of slaves. Oh, my! What a God He is, unfolding Himself in simplicity! 171 Now notice. And He had him trained in worldly wisdom, so that he could fail, and show that it isn’t wisdom that we’ll ever be delivered by. It’s by faith that we are delivered (\[JBP\] and there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**delivered by faith**»*. He let him go in and get such an education until he could teach the Egyptians wisdom; he was so smart (\[JBP\] so was Paul). God was with that simple family who could, perhaps, maybe not write their name. And Moses was took into the highest of schooling, with such a great education, till he could teach the wisdom to the teachers. He could teach the genius. Yes. And God let him get that way so He could display Himself in humility, to show that wisdom has nothing to do with it (\[JBP\] he wrote there on the left): *\[WSS\] «**simple**»*. And Moses miserably failed in his genius. He let him get that way for His purpose, so that he would fail. And he did fail, and he fell. 172 So, to show, “Not by power, not by might,” but not by the wisdom of Egypt, not by the wisdom of our schools, not by the power of our seminaries, but not by the amounts of our organization, not by the power of our scholarly teaching, “but by My Spirit, saith God.” His wisdom was vanished and at its end, when he met God in the burning bush there. He took off his shoes and humbled himself to humility, and forgot all about his wisdom. \[JBP\] Now look, Moses’ wisdom completely vanished when he met God. Now notice, when our brother Branham saw the Pillar of Fire there working and talking to someone\*, notice, there was a people there who had taken off their sandals, their shoes, which is the Gospel of Grace\*\*; because they would be standing before the Pillar of Fire; and they cast aside all human wisdom to receive the Teaching that had been promised, which would be given in a Great Tent Cathedral. \*\[*The Seals*, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 548 para. 296-299\] \*\*\[Study “The Coming of the Creator,” 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), pp. 46-52, 89\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message **“THIS GREAT WARRIOR, JOSHUA,”** on page 17 it tells us: \[55-0119 - “This Great Warrior, Joshua,” p. 16, para. 40\] \[Study “The path provided by God to enter the promised land,” 27/July/2022 (Wednesday), pp. 14-15\] *40 Now, look. He said, “I’ll send you a sign. There’ll be a Pillar of Fire will lead you all the way* (\[JBP\] he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the right)*. You just follow it; it’ll take you”* (\[JBP\] it’s so simple: follow the Pillar of Fire)*. That’s right. And they got right up there, and the Pillar of Fire turned in to be a Man. He said, “I’m the Captain of the host of the Lord.” Said, “We’ve come this far. Now let’s go on.”* \[JBP\] And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**in the promised land**».* *\[40\] Now, there was all that great land before them, all military men. And now the Captain of the host of the Lord, He was a military Man too. So He said, “Now, Joshua, now don’t you fear. I’ll be with you, and no man can stand before you all the days of your life.”* *Oh, my. Joshua said, “Now, we’re going to see what the land looks like.”* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, also in this writing that our brother William left us there, he says: *\[WSS\] «**By believing the Word made manifest in human flesh, one receives what God sent It for; what that incarnate Word says must be fulfilled in the believers; which used to be what the written Word says**»*. *«**Jesus said: “It is written.” It is* (or) *It was the written Word made flesh yesterday. And it has been the same thing in each age and in each dispensation: the written Word made flesh. That is why Jesus said: “My Words are spirit and they are life. He who hears My Word has everlasting life.” The secret is in the written Word made flesh, made a reality, fulfilled in a man**»*. There lies the secret: *\[WSS\] «**The secret is in the written Word made flesh, made a reality, fulfilled in a man**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, he continues to say here on 24 - page 24 \[p. 28 in Eng.\], where we had paused \[***The Seals***\]: 173 God, bringing deliverance, had to train him in wisdom, to let him fall, to show that you cannot lean upon the arm of your own understanding, or anybody else’s understanding. Let him fall, to show His hand. Can you see it? God’s purpose in doing so, was to display Himself in humility. And He let Moses become the highest, until he would—he would be the next pharaoh. He was a mighty general. According to history, he conquered, Moses himself, the countries around. And then when he turned to the work of the Lord, with all of his talent, God let him take a headlong topple, so that He could put him out there on the desert and beat all that out of him; and then appear to him, in humility (\[JBP\] there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Moses**»*, and send him down with a stick in his hand, to deliver the people (\[JBP\] writes there): *\[WSS\] «**a stick = the Word**»*. 174 When, he couldn’t do it by a military training, by an education, by a scientific education. And by a military force he could not do it. And He give him an old crooked stick off the desert, and He did it with him. God in humility, simplicity! God was in the stick and in Moses (\[JBP\] there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**simple**»* (\[JBP\] on the right). And as long as Moses had the stick, then God had it, because God was in Moses (\[JBP\] hehe). \[JBP\] Now look, he writes above: *\[WSS\] «**A stick = the Word**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Delivered by faith in His Word**»*. \[JBP\] Now look, in this writing, there where he writes, in this notebook: *\[WSS\] «**The shepherd’s Staff = The shepherd’s Word**»*. *«**The Rod = the creative Word, which Moses and Elijah will have today**»*. And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Matthew 24:42-47**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s finish there on 356, which is where we left off, 356 \[p. 409 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\] \[***The Seals***\]: 238 There were them Jews standing there, saying, “Glory to God! Why,” at the 6th chapter of Saint John, said, “our fathers eat manna in the wilderness!” And Jesus said, “They’re, every one, dead.” 239 “They drank water from the Rock in the wilderness, and everything.” 240 He said, “**I am** that Rock.” That’s right. Amen. He said, “But **I am** the Bread of Life that come from God’s out of Heaven (\[JBP\] he circles “I am” on both occasions where brother Branham says it there), that Tree of Life from Eden back yonder (\[JBP\] he draws there on the left a Star of David). If a man eats this Bread, he shall not die; I’ll raise him up again at the last days.” And still they couldn’t see it! That’s right. 241 The very Messiah standing there, speaking the very words of their heart, and things like that, showing that He was Messiah, just what Messiah was supposed to do! 242 And them standing there with their hands behind them, and, “Huh! It can’t be. No, no. He—he—he didn’t come in the right trend. See, he come out of Bethlehem. And he—he’s nothing but an illegitimate child. And that’s the devil working on him. We—we know he’s mad. He’s crazy. He’s got a devil” (\[JBP\] they spoke all of that to Jesus). See? Their eyes were actually blinded to that. 243 Now, but they are looking for their prophet. And they’re going to receive it, going to receive two of them. That’s right. (...) \[JBP\] He writes there: *\[WSS\] «**Israel is waiting for a prophet**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 11**»*. \[244\] I’ll give you another little symbol, so you can realize that it’s Jews over here now, on this side of the Rapture. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now our brother William continues to say here \[**“A DIVINE GOAL: THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] For the restoration of the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of David, the Word must also be spoken, in order to be materialized at the Last Day; for that same Word that was spoken by other prophets to be spoken and positioned correctly at the end time, so that It is fulfilled, becomes a reality, is spoken at the time in which It must be fulfilled, which is the Last Day. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] There is another writing here where he also shows us, I also took a picture of this one because it’s a little long. Look, there he says \[the picture is shown on screen –Ed.\]: *\[WSS\] «****Under which dispensation will we live? What change will there be?****».* *«**In the next millennium all nations and all people expect the Lord Jesus Christ to begin His reign over all nations, having Jerusalem as the capital of the entire world and Federal District or Central District**».* *«****There will be knowledge and prosperity in all the Earth****».* *«**Somewhere in the next millennium. The Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be (or will be) present and the whole world will be ruled. Rev. 11:15**».* And some Scriptures there. *«**The nation that does not come \[to Jerusalem\] from year to year, during the Feast of Booths, in Jerusalem, to worship God, the King* (King or the King)*, a plague will fall, will come upon them, and there will be no rain upon them. Zech. 14:8-12**».* *«****The Divine Thought is recorded in the Bible and God materializes His thoughts; that is the Work of God****».* *«**The spiritual part is the most important part for the human being (because it is the one that governs the soul and the whole being). Therefore, we all need to be prepared for the ushering in of the next millennium**».* *«**The preparation of the Latin American youth for the next millennium; for a better world; it will be better than the past ones**»*. \[JBP\] For it will be a kingdom of peace, happiness, prosperity and love. “**THE PROPHECIES FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID.”** That has been this occasion, this short Teaching Study for this occasion, conscious that there are countless prophecies that must be fulfilled —and are being fulfilled— at this time; and the most important part is ours, which is to receive all that Word, all that Teaching, which brother Branham said would be spoken, and that the Thunders would bring that final revival\*. \*\[*The Seals*, “The Third Seal,” p. 243, para. 183\] Let’s stand. I don’t know if they have a song so that we can stretch a little bit. And… there are times when the Studies are a little bit longer, and many people, well, to avoid missing their… the… the writings, sometimes they stay until - stay there until… the whole time. Those who can’t take it for so long, perhaps, every once in a while they go to the bathroom; but most of them try to take advantage as much as they can. And then, later there are times, once we have these - this space of time, they take advantage, while we start getting ready to receive the message for today, so they go out for a little bit. Or others, once our brother William reads the Scripture and says we can sit, then they go to the bathroom; because sometimes they wait for 2, 3 hours. And they have asked me (some of them), that because they hold it for a long time, sometimes people have to go. And I said: “Look, if they already have the message since Friday, or even before, they have already read it.” For sure, wait until he reads the Scripture and says we can sit; and then if they have to go to the bathroom for a bit, go; but always with reverence. Do not go out all… \[Dr. JBP moves his arms around in disarray –Ed.\], go with reverence. Because… they say: “No, you can’t do that”; but check, during the Study those people go to the bathroom maybe 4 or 5 times. So…, what are we talking about then? We can’t judge people. However the person does it, as long as he does it with reverence, he can do it. We are at a time in which we are being prepared; and because we are still in these bodies, well, we have limitations. But don’t worry, soon we won’t have to go to the bathroom, or to drink water or to eat; but rather… there was a sample with that cake that the Angel made for Elijah: he lasted 40 days and 40 nights without eating anything else \[1 Kings 19:4-8\]. There was a tremendous multivitamin in what he ate! In other words, by the spoken Word, look, you can speak (things are always simple), and it doesn’t necessarily have to be something specific; because if the Word is spoken: “Lord, may the food that God’s elect eat in this moment last and strengthen them.” Look, you can eat a little candy and you can eat a little meat or something, and God has already blessed that food. See how simple it is? Because the Word is being spoken, and all the person has to do is believe it. God blesses that food and gives him strength; and by the time he realizes it, he doesn’t need to eat anything anymore. There will come times when there will be no limitations, and it will also be a lot of work; brother Branham says that \[WMB\] the line was unlimited, it was endless\*. In other words, we will all have a part in helping all those people that are coming there. \*\[**March, 1956**, “Full Gospel Business Men’s *Voice* Magazine, Vol. IV, No. 2”, pp. 11-14\] • \[ **58-1001** - “Lifting Him Up Out Of History,” p. 1, para. 5\] • \[**56-0219** - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” p. 7, paras. 20-21\] And how much time will we have? Maybe just a moment to go and check on things, make sure that they’re all right, and come back; but God will give us strength at that time, and we will be able to say: “Wait, I haven’t eaten anything for 4 or 5 days, I didn’t realize when was the last time.” Everything will be so simple that we ourselves will say: “Wait, but… I’m not getting tired!” All of that has to do with adoption. May God soon have bodies like that without limitations, and may we experience that in these earthly bodies! That will happen very soon. Well, let’s sing a song, a hymn… And this, I don’t know if we had read it before, it is something very important about how to get closer to God and how to separate oneself from God; and all of that is in this time, while we are - or while the person is in his body of flesh; afterwards he won’t be able to decide.\* \*\[Study “The path provided by God to enter the promised land,” 27/July/2022 (Wednesday), pp. 30-32 / Bible Study #405, 21-2/Apr/2024 (Sunday), pp. 18-19: 56-0527 - “At Kadesh-Barnea,” pp. 21-22, paras. 144-148\] I don’t know what song you might have prepared for this occasion. \[Jose Guillermo - Song Director: We can sing a song number 6 *“How wonderful is the Lord!”*\] **HOW WONDERFUL IS THE LORD!** 1 How wonderful is the Lord! How wonderful is His Word! By His grace we stand and my heart rejoices today. 2 How wonderful is the Lord! who manifests Himself in simplicity, speaking to the people face to face through an anointed man today. CHORUS The High and Exalted One who dwells in eternity, today dwells in the midst of His Church. Incarnate in simplicity. The High and Lofty One the One who dwells in eternity, wrote my name in His Book and my being He came to transform. 3 A white Eagle sealed us with the Eternal Name of God. with the Eternal Name of God. That's the Seal of the living God to leave this dimension. 4 That white Eagle is the prophet promised for our Age, to deliver us from this world and fly into eternity. \[JBP\] Amen. “**THE PROPHECIES FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID.”** \[JBP\] Let’s thus leave with us, in this subject, our beloved brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
