Perez*\] Thank you very much, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin; may God bless you greatly, and may He continue to give you much health, and continue to use you mightily in the Work at this end time. You already sound better, your voice, and may God continue to restore your health. And I hope to be with you all soon already there in Venezuela; a people that we love with all our hearts; all the brethren here in Puerto Rico and myself as well, we love you in divine love, and we desire the blessings upon all the Venezuelan people, and upon all of us too. Have a happy and prosperous year 2025, everyone! A year that we desire to be the year of our transformation, and may it be the year in which He pours out all His blessings contained in that year. We always wish that the year that we are about to go into be the year that God fulfills that promise. Happy birthday to our brother, Reverend Ezequiel Elizondo, whose birthday is today; also to all those whose birthday is this month: may God bless you greatly, and use you greatly in the Work at this end time. For today Sunday, December 29 of this year 2024, our subject is: **THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, June 2, 2002* *Cayey, Puerto Rico* **Scripture: Revelation 10:1-11** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] He used the Scripture of Revelation, chapter 10, from 1 to 11, and also Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 and on; which, we will read verse 5 and 6, from chapter 10 of Revelation: **Revelation 10:5** *5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,* *6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:* *\[WSS\] «**of Redemption**»* (\[JBP\] he writes there). \[JBP\] That is, the time of the Dispensation of Grace. In writings in Bible studies, when we have put that Scripture for him, there are places where he writes: *\[WSS\] «of the Dispensation of Grace»**,* *«end of the Dispensation of Grace»*.\* \*Bible Study #259, 27/Nov/2022 (Sunday), p. 4: *\[WSS\] «**the time of redemption, of intercession»**».* \[Study “The Coming of the Creator,” 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), p. 11: *The Ages*, “The Patmos Vision,” p. 55 - *\[WSS\] «**Dispensation of Grace**». \[WSS\] «**the Dispensation of Grace ends**». \[WSS\] «**The time of Redemption would be no longer**».*\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And in Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1: **Revelation 8:1** *8 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.* **THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] We will try to touch on some points for this subject, that is, the message; where we will be seeing everything there that God brought us in this message; which, the content is being seen today. In the message “THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID,” which was preached on November 8, 2009, in Franca, Brazil, it tells us: **THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, November 8, 2009* *Franca, São Paulo, Brazil* Now, the Seventh Seal is opened in the sense of the fulfillment. And when it is being fulfilled it is a mystery, nobody knows, nobody understands well, except for some, and \[others\] all…- I want to be one of those who understand (\[JBP\] brother William says). And who else? Each one of you as well. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,”** on page 55, there our brother Branham tells us; it says: \[64-1221 - “Why It Had To Be Shepherd,” p. 43, para. 262\] \[Bible Study #351, 15-2/Oct/2023 (Sunday), pp. 49-51\] *262 But when Jesus comes someday, the Great Shepherd of the sheep from Pentecost through Luther through all the ages, that has accepted the Light as It come through the carriers (not accepted the carrier, accepted the Light; see, went out), He’ll come to redeem* (\[JBP\] above he writes): *\[WSS\] «**When Jesus comes… He’ll come to redeem**»**. I’m so glad that I know He’s coming again. Oh, would you be numbered with His group? Would you be numbered?* \[JBP\] There he draws a Star of David, a Cornerstone and the ages; and an arrow like *this* (around) the Star of David. \[JBP\] Let’s see here… Now, in order to be numbered the person must have been predestined; because if he is not predestined, he cannot be counted as one of that group or part of that group. \[The picture is shown on screen –Ed.\] That is so that you can understand the arrows that he places there, from the bottom part to the top; and there in - is the Star of David. Now, remember that that sign, that Star, represents the ministries of Moses and Elijah. *\[262\] Would you be numbered? There’s only one way to do it, not by joining a church, but by being borned into Him. “And all the Father has given Me,* ***will come to Me*** (\[JBP\] he circles “will come to Me,” there)*, and no man can come except My Father calls him.” See, that’s all there is to it, accept It. He…That’s the only Christmas Gift that I know of, is the gift of God that He gave to the world, His only begotten Son. And He’s the same, yesterday, today, and forever, the Word. See? Believe Him in this day, the fulness of the Bible.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And notice, in this message: “LOOKING BEYOND THE SUNSET,” our brother William tells us there…, which was preached January 30, 1994 here in Cayey, Puerto Rico, it says: **LOOKING BEYOND THE SUNSET** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, January 30, 1994* *Cayey, Puerto Rico* And that’s how it is in the Age of the Cornerstone: the only ones who will realize, \[and\] who will understand what is happening, are those who will be in the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, meaning, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, on a new dispensational Day. “Come up hither (to the Age of the Cornerstone), and I will show you things which must be hereafter.” \[Revelation 4:1\] \[JBP\] It is through that call that the elect of God goes up to the Age of Cornerstone, and will be able to and can understand everything relevant to that age and to that dispensation. He cannot understand what the Seventh Seal is, and the things contained in the Seventh Seal, if he is not up in the Age of Cornerstone. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on page 442 \[p. 515 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***, it tells us… 442… there’s a writing there. Let’s read this part here, where it starts by saying: \[27\] Now, there is so much could be said! 28 And tonight, on the final, closing night, as usually, everybody is…In a healing service, I find, under anticipations for great things to be done in the healing service, which makes them a tension, nervous. And then I find, the same thing tonight (\[JBP\] there it is… he is going to preach “THE SEVENTH SEAL”), that everybody is under expectation of seeing how (\[JBP\] there on the right he writes): *\[WSS\] «**nervous tension**»*…And each night, it’s been that way, for the opening of those Seals. 29 Now I want to make this real clear. Every time, every time that these Seals has come to the place; everything that I ever believed on Them, and has read of other people, has been contrary to what come to me in the room. 30 And my mind, at this time… \[JBP\] There on the left he draws a Star of David. And he writes *\[WSS\] «**troubled mind**».* \[30\] The reason I had that healing service this morning, because my human mind is becoming so away from my own way of thinking (\[JBP\] notice, in that book, it must be in the blue one, in the other one…, there is one where he writes that he was coming away from his own way of thinking). I have tried to stay in a—in a room with the shades pulled down… \[JBP\] (Humbertito, if you are hearing me: go to the office for a second, and the blue book of *The Seals* is on top of the desk there; bring it to me, please; there in the little room). Pardon me. I was receiving something there and… I took the books, because it’s here. Perhaps I needed another moment; I thought that brother Miguel was going to speak a little more, but I didn’t want to keep you waiting. But look, the mind of brother Branham, upon opening the Seventh Seal or to open the Seventh Seal…, or let’s say: he was going to open the Seventh Seal, but he was not allowed. In other words, at that time, while he was receiving the revelation of the Seals, the Angel told him each Seal; but at the Seventh Seal He held back and didn’t tell him anything; He showed him as far as He had to show him. And he says that he had to put aside his own way of thinking. That is, everything that he humanly thought was, when the Seventh Seal comes along, he had to cast aside everything that he had thought; so that then God could then show him everything… (Pardon me \[he approaches to take the book that is handed to him –Ed.\]). (Humbertito, *The Seals*, *The Seals*; it’s this same one but in *The Seals*. This is *The Ages*. Forgive me.) Now, notice…, it is…; because there is a place where he says that \[WMB\] we must put aside the carnal things, the human mind, so He can show you His Coming and reveal It to you\*. In other words, to be in the Age of Cornerstone and Kingdom Dispensation, you can’t come with human reasoning, nor with human interpretations; but with a clean and clear mind, so that it is His revelation directly; not anyone else’s. \* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, page 443 \[p. 515 in Eng.\], continues there \[***The Seals***\]: \[30\] I have tried to stay in a—in a room with the shades pulled down and a light on. This is the eighth day. And not even got in my car, to—to go anywhere. \[JBP\] There on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**8th Day**»*. \[JBP\] (Excuse me…). Let’s see here. Look, here it is, on page 442, what I told you; at the bottom; he wrote, like this, going upward, in one, two, there, four lines: *\[WSS\] «**Everything is different than what* (and below he continues, so you don’t continue writing upwards, but there in that margin) *he believed before* *And his mind is coming away* *from what* (and above he writes )*\[his\] own way of thinking**»*. \[JBP\] In other words, everything was different than what he thought. And also here, in this *one*… *Here* he wrote: *\[WSS\] «**8th Day**»*. Here on the right, on the 443, there on the right above he draws a Cornerstone, and inside he writes: *\[WSS\] «**8th Day**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**7th Seal**»*. 31 I had to go with some brothers, down to banks, to sign some notes and things, on money and stuff that had been borrowed for this church. But I—but I come right straight back, and went right to study (\[JBP\] on the left he writes upwards): *\[WSS\] «**a loan**»*. 32 And the strange thing, there hasn’t been one person said anything. Or, usually, they’re knocking, and pulling, and around. There hasn’t been one thing. It’s been very phenomenal. (...) 34 And then, this morning, I’ll never forget this morning, the grace of our Saviour to His tired, weary servant. When, I had answered a poor person’s question, and, the best of my mind, thinking that I done right. And, all of a sudden, as if I had—I had taken something away from a child, I was so condemned, and didn’t know what it was. And I thought, maybe being that I was pressing to get to that healing service, maybe somebody so desperately sick, that had to be prayed for right then. And I asked the audience. In a few minutes, it was revealed. And somebody said, “Won’t you read your—read your text over?” or something. And that time, I picked up the little piece of paper and read it again, see what it said. Looked down on the Books, and it was altogether different, the question I was answering. See? 35 May I just pass this to you. When the Supernatural comes in, that’s the mind of Christ. You become so far away from your own thinking, till, in your own mind, I…This, you…I don’t…Don’t let me try to explain that, because I can’t. See? I couldn’t do it. There is nobody could do it. \[JBP\] And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Mind of Christ**».* *«**The Mind is the supernatural**»* (he writes upwards in two parts). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In… further on, he also speaks, but that is in a place here, where he speaks of the Mind of Christ in the chosen one, leaving human reasoning aside, and allowing the Spirit of Christ to come in and show you. Now, he says there are things he cannot explain. That is further on, in the book of *The Seals*; let’s see. Because he tried to explain; that is one part, where it says he tried to explain, but right here in ***The Seals*** that part where it says that \[WMB\] tried to explain but it happened so fast, that is one place and the other place… let’s look at 444, there it also says \[p. 516 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\]: 38 Don’t try to explain that of Supernatural. You can’t do it. See? Only thing is to do, is just go right ahead. And I try to make myself clear as I can, but from henceforth I’ll…I think I’ll never try it again. You’ll just absolutely believe, or not. And I’m…You’ll see, a little later, why. \[JBP\] There on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**No explanation of the supernatural**»*. \[JBP\] Notice, you either believe or doubt, or don’t believe. That is, you either believe or you don’t believer… in 474, where he says that he couldn’t decipher it\*… but let’s continue further on here, we will see here. \*\[*The Seals*, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 551, para. 323\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, it continues to say in the message \[**“THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID ”**\]: \[WSS\] And now, when the Seventh Seal begins, its beginning will be a complete mystery, but then at the end, at the end of the Seventh Seal it will be open to the public; in other words, it has a beginning and an end; just as the First Coming of the Lord had a beginning when He was born in Bethlehem of Judea… \[JBP\] What was the beginning of the Seventh Seal in the First Coming of the Lord like? A birth: the birth of Jesus. An end: on Calvary’s Cross. \[WSS\] Just as the First Coming of the Lord had a beginning: being born in Bethlehem of Judea after being conceived in the womb of Mary, and then had an end when He died on Calvary’s Cross (\[JBP\] remember that it is parallel in every way) and then He was already resurrected glorified three days later, and a new stage has already begun. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 471 there it tells us below to turn to 472 it says \[***The Seals***\] \[P. 548\]: \[299\] And in Sabino Canyon, He said, “This is the Third Pull.” 300 And there’s three great things that goes with It. And one unfolded today, or, yesterday; the other one unfolded today; and there’s one thing that I cannot interpret, because it’s in an unknown language. But I stand right there and looked right straight at It. And this is the Third Pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God… (\[JBP\] What is coming? The Holy Spirit; which he had said, on page 134, that the Holy Spirit would become incarnate) Oh, my! That’s the reason all Heaven was silent. \[JBP\] There he makes several writings. And look, on the left: *\[WSS\] «**½ hour of silence**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 3rd Pull = produced the silence**»*. *\[WSS\] «**In an unknown language = the Thunders**»*. *\[WSS\] «**The Tent = The 3rd Pull**»*. He also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Was standing there**»*. 301 Now, I—**I better** stop right here, see. I just—I just feel checked, not to say no more about It. \[JBP\] Now, there in that small paragraph: “I better,” on the left upward, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**He saw him**»*. Now, what did he see? He saw him. 302 So, just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason It was not opened. \[Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit six times—Ed.\] See, the reason It did not reveal It, no one should know about It (\[JBP\] on the right he writes): *\[WSS\] «**7th Seal**»* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David). 303 And I want you to know, before I even knowed any Word about That, that vision come years ago. You remember that? And here It is, just as this other has, slides right straight into the Word exactly where It was. And God knows my heart, I never one time thought of such a thing as That, and here It was. It’s later than we think. Uh-huh. Oh, my! 304 That shows It’s from God, for, see, It fits exactly in the promises of God, from the end of the—the Message (\[JBP\] What end-of-time Message? The Seventh Seal.). You notice. Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal (\[JBP\] that is, the Seventh Seal). After all, He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible, before knowing That. And remember, Revelation 10:1-7, 1 to 7, chapter 10:1 to 7, “At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known.” We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal. \[JBP\] There he writes: *\[WSS\] «**2nd Coming of Christ**»*. 305 Now, how did I know? The other day, last Sunday, a week ago today, when I was preaching on “Be humble! Be humble! Remember, God deals in little things.” I didn’t realize what it really was talking about. And now I see it. It is in such a humble way! You would think that something like that would be revealed to the Vatican (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «**(to the pope)**»* or…But **It comes** (\[JBP\] and he underlines and circles “It comes”, and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**with Moses and Elijah**»* just like John the Baptist. It comes like the birth of our Lord, in a stable. Glory to God! So help me, the hour is at hand! Amen! We’re here. Oh, my! 306 Now do you see it… \[JBP\] He writes there on top, as a question: *\[WSS\] «**Do you see it?**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] But the First Coming of Christ, in human flesh, was a mystery to many people; It had a beginning and It had an end. That is what the Seventh Seal will be like: a beginning and an end. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] There, on 465…, 464 at the bottom, it says \[***The Seals***\] \[P. 540\]: \[233\] …at the end of this Seventh Seal (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**leftover time, Moses and Elijah**»*. Notice. It’s the end of the church age. It’s the—the end of the Seventh Seal. It’s the end of the Trumpets. \[JBP\] And at the bottom he writes: *\[WSS\] «**At the end of the 7th Seal it is the end of everything**»*. And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**At the end of the ½ hour of silence**»*. \[JBP\] Remember that when He opened the Seventh Seal there was silence in Heaven for nearly half an hour. In the hour of His Coming… Now: \[233\] It’s the end of the Vials, and even end the ushering in of the Millennium. That’s on the Seventh Seal. 234 It’s just like firing a rocket into the air. And that rocket explodes here, and it goes up and then explodes again. \[JBP\] There he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses**»*. In this one, let’s see, because he also writes something here. There on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Son of Man = 7th Seal**»*. The Son of Man comes with His Angels. *\[WSS\] «**The Son of Man = 7th Seal — 5th Elijah, 2nd Moses, 2nd Jesus**»*. \[234\] …and it goes up and then explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explode and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes and blows out five stars from it. See, it fades on out. \[JBP\] See? It ends. 235 That’s, what, the Seventh Seal. It just ends the time for the world. It ends the time for this. It ends the time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time. Everything just ended up on that Seventh Seal. 236 Now, how is He going to do it? That’s what we don’t know. Isn’t it? We don’t know. 237 It’s even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the Millennium. \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Introduction**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] When It is opened to the public It will have already been in fulfillment, It will have already had Its beginning (\[JBP\] in other words, he will have already been born; and had his trajectory); therefore, It will have had a trajectory to then be able to reach the end. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Regarding which, on page 482 of the book of ***The Seals***, it tells us… 481 below \[P. 560\]: 391 Now, now, do you notice? On the opening of this Seventh Seal, it’s also in a threefold mystery. This one, I have… will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the Seven Thunders. The Seven Thunders in Heaven will unfold this mystery (\[JBP\] and the Thunders, in the message “IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?” it says that they were spoken on Earth, not in Heaven\*). It’ll be right at the Coming of Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return. \* • \[**62-1230E** - “Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir?” pp. 39-40, paras. 305-308, 314\] \[Study “The Thunders = The Voices of the Seventh Seal,” 27/May/2023 (Saturday), p. 8: *\[WSS\] «**The Voices of the Thunders were on the Earth = by a prophet**».*\] • \[Bible Study #443, 1-2/Sep/2024 (Sunday), pp. 56-58: 62-1230E - “Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir?” p. 38, paras. 303-307- *\[WSS\] «**The Thunders spoke on Earth (they would speak through human flesh)**».*\] 392 Did you notice, when the Jews asked Him that? Know…When we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24, with the six Seals, the Seventh Seal was left out. Because, you see, Christ said, “Only God Himself knowed; not even the Angels.” No wonder, It wasn’t even written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don’t know It. Nobody knows when He is coming. 393 But there’ll be a—there’ll be a—a Seven Voices, of these Thunders, that will reveal the great revelation at that time. \[JBP\] There he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The great revelation of the Coming of the Lord**»* (upwards). *\[WSS\] «**The 7th Seal is the mystery of the 7 Thunders**»*. And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**½ hour silence**»* (there in the top corner). \[JBP\] Look at this one, in the paragraph where it says: 391 Now, now, do you notice? On the opening of this Seventh Seal, it’s also in a threefold mystery. \[JBP\] Above there he writes *\[WSS\] «**Moses, Elijah, Jesus**»*, on page 481, in this paragraph. And above that paragraph he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 3 purposes of the 7th Seal**»*. \[JBP\] Remember that the Third Pull is for the Bride, the foolish virgins (the sleeping virgins), and the world (which, the Hebrew people are included there). Page 482 \[p. 561 in Eng.\] \[***The Seals***\]: \[393\] So, I believe, to us who…If we don’t know It, and if we…It won’t be knowed till that time. But it will be revealed in that day (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**8th Day**»*, in the (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Zero**»* hour (\[JBP\] at the Zero Hour): that it’s supposed to be revealed in. So, the thing for us to do is to be reverent before God, and serve Him, and do all that we know how to do, and live good, Christian lives. \[JBP\] And at the bottom there he writes, in that space: *\[WSS\] «**Not opened to the public, but it will be**»*. To the right he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 7th Seal will be revealed to the public in the Tent**»*. Where would the Seventh Seal be revealed? In the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; which is what is happening now, today, in the present time; not in the past. In the past the Seventh Seal wasn’t revealed, it wasn’t opened, it wasn’t made known what the Seventh Seal is and how God would be fulfilling It. It’s in the Tent. *\[WSS\] «**The 7th Seal will be revealed to the public in the Tent**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 7 Thunders and the 7th Seal**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] You can’t reach the end of a road if you didn’t begin that road. How can you reach the end of the road? You can’t say, “I am on this road, or I am coming to the end of the road.” Like, for example: “I am coming to the end of my journey in my earthly life.” If you were not born and didn’t begin an earthly life, you can’t reach the end of earthly life; and that's how the Seventh Seal is, It has a beginning (\[JBP\] that is, a birth) and It has an end. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look in the book of “HEBREWS,” (I don’t know if this book was ever printed)..., it contains chapters… “HEBREWS, CHAPTER 1,” up to 7; and there are “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS” on Hebrews. (*This one* is good… No, it was not printed. You can find it later on). Now notice what it tells us here, on page 386 at the bottom... Part of what I am going to read here is in the book of *Quotations* (let’s see there), which corresponds to... I think it is 176\*; maybe the version here is a little different; this is from page 22; but here it starts a bit earlier; that is, I am going to read a bit earlier; it says \[“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEBREWS, PART 3”\]: \*\[57-1006 - “Questions And Answers On Hebrews #3,” p. 26, para. 729-734\] \[57-1006 - “Questions And Answers On Hebrews #3,” pp. 25-27, paras. 726-744\] *726 Why, before Mount Transfiguration… At Mount Transfiguration, before Jesus went to Calvary, there stood both Moses and Elijah standing there talking to Him. Certainly, they did, they’re not dead. And they had never died; they’re mortals, they got to die* (\[JBP\] he is speaking about Moses and Elijah, about the ministries of Moses and Elijah)*. So they’re just in a glorified state waiting for that time.* *727 And then when they come back and preach exactly three-and-a-half years under the anointing of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, while the blessings is taken from the Gentiles (and the Church is taken up); and the cold, formal church is hunted down like dogs, by the communist and Roman party, and when they’re hunted down and killed. They—they are killed then; these prophets preach three-and-a-half years, and the Bible said that they were killed in the great…in the street, called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified. That’s back in Jerusalem; see, back in Jerusalem, spiritually called.* *728 And they laid on the street for three days and nights. And then at the end of the three-and-a-half days, the spirit of life come into them and they rose up. They had to die like other mortals…* \[JBP\] And, notice, the only prophet who is alive \[in\] whom God is operating those ministries, is the one who fulfills that Scripture, that promise of Revelation 11. The rest left; and when they return, they will return in eternal and glorified bodies, to never die again. *\[728\] They had to die like other mortals, they had to do it. And when they killed these two preachers…* \[JBP\] That is, those ministries. *729 They preached against wrong, and they brought fire out of heaven. Who did that? See? They brought plagues out of heaven, and smote the earth as quick as…and at any time they wanted to. And they brought fire out of heaven. And they stopped the heavens from raining, as long as they wanted to. Who was that? Exactly Moses and Elijah. And there’s them two witnesses.* *730 And when they tormented the church, or the world, by their preaching; and receiving back the Jews* (\[JBP\] I believe we are already going into that paragraph there)*, and bringing them back to repentance, bringing them back to believe on…When they see Jesus coming for the Bride, they’ll say, “Lo, this is our God Who we waited on. That’s Him!” But He’s not coming for them; He come for His Bride. And His Bride…* *731 When Joseph went into Egypt, he did not take his brethren with him, but he got his bride there. Absolutely! But when he made hisself known to his brethren, there was nobody present. That’s exactly right. And when He makes Hisself known to these Jews, they’ll be nobody there but the Jews. There’s them who killed Joseph, standing there; and he said, “Well, I’m Joseph, your brother.” And he wept.* *732 And they said, “Now we know we’re in for it, because we killed him.”* *733 The same thing, those Jews will have that great time of trouble just before the coming now, of the persecution running them back into the homeland. It shooing them like a bunch of sheep back to Mount Carmel yonder.* *734 When the Lord Jesus shall come for His Bride, and they see Him, they’ll say, “That’s the One we’ve waited on, there He is!” He’ll rise with healing in His wings. That’s right.* \[JBP\] That is where he writes, in the book of *Quotations*, in that portion: *\[WSS\] «**The Jews see Christ coming for the Bride**»*. And above that, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Tent Vision**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah and their preachings torment**»*. \[JBP\] Now, notice how he relates those ministries to the Tent Vision; because we can’t disconnect the Seventh Seal and those ministries from the Tent. He goes on to say: *735 And the church, the remnant of the Jews, when they finally kill these two prophets, and they lay in the street spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified, they send gifts one to another (the world does).* *736 Now, Brother Palmer, here you are. Look back into the Roman history and you’ll find out there’s only one nation in all the world that ever sent gifts after a battle, that’s the Roman Empire.* \[JBP\] Ah, because on page 385, the question that they ask brother Branham \[**“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEBREWS, PART 3**\]: \[57-1006 - “Questions And Answers On Hebrews #3,” p. 24, paras. 710, 712\] **\[710\]** ***Where are the gifts…What are the gifts to be sent regarding the death of the two witnesses of Revelation 11?*** *Oh, Brother Palmer, if you can’t ask some questions!* \[JBP\] And there he is also asked the other one: **\[712\]** ***What is the gifts in Revelation 11?*** *711 Now, the redemption, these streaks here, this scarlet streak, we see it meant redemption.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, in *The Seals* he says, on page 352: \[WMB\] “He comes to redeem us,” that he writes there: *\[WSS\] «**transform us**»**\**; that is, in His Coming. \*\[Bible Study #381, 28-2/Jan/2024 (Sunday), pp. 47-48 / Bible Study #400, 5/Apr/2024 (Friday), p. 16: *The Seals*, “The Sixth Seal,” p. 405, para. 202 - *\[WSS\] «**transform us**».*\] He continues on 388 \[“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS”\]: *737 That’s the reason I say that the antichrist comes out of Rome. The beast comes out of Rome, it can’t come out of Moscow. It comes from Rome, the red dragon that stood at the woman to devour her Child as soon as It was borned. That devil, where was that devil? Who was it? Caesar Augustus that sent forth and killed all the children from two years old down. The red dragon, the dragon, beast means “power.” The Roman power persecuted and tried to find that Christ Child.* *738 And that same thing! Every time that the Romans, the old pagan Romans used to have a great victory, they would send white stones and everything to one another, as gifts like that, as memorials. So those stones that was…What it was, was little gifts sent between the Roman church. Absolutely! Exactly. It’s got to be.* *739 I stood right there in the Vatican City and verified it with the Bible. The pope wearing a triple crown, Vicarivs Filii Dei, all those things which I’ve heard and so forth, it’s absolutely the truth; a religious group that governs every nation under the Heaven, and it does. There it is, it’s so.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, in the book of *The Seals*, there he places the numerology of these words; that is 666, the number of the beast. If you can find it there in… the page of the book of ***The Seals***. Oh, 178 from the book of *The Seals* \[P. 206 (Second Seal)\]: 265 But when this awful, deceiving spirit (oh, man!) incarnated, in incarnate spirit; this doctrine spirit became incarnated, to take the place of Christ, into a man. It must be worshipped, then, turned to be a worship like Christ. In other words, up over the Vatican…I’ve been right there. It’s wrote, “VICARIVS FILII DEI,” and it’s wrote in Roman numerals. Now, you just draw a line at the bottom of those Roman numerals. And it means, “In stead of Son of God.” He, in other words, he’s a vicar. You know what a vicar is; just take the place of something. He is the vicar, “In stead of the Son of God.” 266 And the Bible said, “Let him that has the gift of wisdom count the numbers of the beast, for it’s the number of a man. And his number is six hundred and sixty-six.” Now, you take VICARIVS FILII DEI, and draw a line, with Roman numbers; the “V” for five, and “I” for one…And add it up, and see if you haven’t got six hundred and sixty-six. \[JBP\] And there we have the numbers:

V	I	C	A	R	I	V	S
5	1	100			1	5		=	112


F	I	L	I	I
	1	50	1	1				=	53


D	E	I
500		1						=	501
									666

267 The Bible said, “He would be sitting in the temple of God, worshipped like God.” When that little doctrine become a incarnate, it become a vicar, “In stead of the Son of God.” See? Oh, my! That awful, deceiving spirit! If you want to read that, read in Second Thessalonians 2:3, and you can see where it’s at. 268 And, of course, you will remember Satan is the head of all political power, of every nation. How many knows that? You want to put it down? Matthew 4:8, “Satan took Jesus up to a high mountain, and he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, that ever was or ever would be, in a moment of time.” Talk about a person! He said, “I’ll give them to you, if you’ll worship me.” And Jesus knew that He was going to fall heir to them. 269 That’s what they say, “Why, you bunch of poor holy-rollers!” 270 Why, we get the world! “The meek shall inherit the earth.” That’s what Jesus said. See? See? 271 Notice, Jesus knowed He would fall heir to them, so He said, “Get thee hence, Satan. It’s written,” right back with the Scripture again, you see, “‘Thou shall worship the Lord, and Him only.’” See? 272 Now—now when—when he, as is head demon, incarnate in this super, religious man, as the Bible predicts, then he unites his church and state. Both of his own powers unite together. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, notice what brother Branham is talking about here in “Questions and Answers - Part 3” from the book of “HEBREWS”; page 388 goes on to say \[P. 27\]: *740 Nothing against Catholic people (no, sir), they’re just as good as anybody else, but their religion is wrong according to this Bible. If this Bible’s right, they’re wrong. They say they don’t…“It doesn’t matter what the Bible says, it’s what the church says.” We believe that the Bible speaks with the supreme authority! Absolutely, it’s God’s Word.* *741 So you see there, these stones that were sent then, of Revelation here, is the—the stones that were gifts sent one to another. Which only goes to show…The Bible said, the Revelation here, said, “Let him that has wisdom count the numbers of the beast. Let him that has wisdom do so-and-so. Let he that has the spirit of certain gifts do so-and-so.” You see how short the church is?* *742 A young man…* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, let’s see that portion there, from what we are reading, so that we have that base of what brother Branham is speaking here. Revelation, verse 7, says: **Revelation 11:7** *7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit* (\[JBP\] and we already know who the beast is: Rome, the pope) *shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.* *8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.* *9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.* *10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.* *11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.* *12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.* \[JBP\] That is one of the great earthquakes, which marks the resurrection: that earthquake is the earthquake of Los Angeles, California. \[**“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEBREWS, PART 3”**\] \[P. 27\]: *742 A young man asked me this morning about spiritual gifts, about speaking with tongues. A young fellow, very sincere, I believe he’s to be a minister some of these days. And about the church, I said, “There’s so much of it that’s flesh. We don’t want that, but we want the real thing. We long to have it.”* *743 You can’t go to teaching it in the church; the first thing you know, you get, one’s got a tongue, one’s got a psalm, then you have to battle the thing out. But when God has give a gift sovereignly, it’ll manifest itself. That’s right. See, that’s the gifts of God, that’s what He sends to the Church for overcoming.* *744 Now, the antichrist has something like pro and con, it has the—the—the perverted way of doing it. And that’s the Roman empire which sends gifts one to another, natural gifts. God sends spiritual gifts to overcomers; the Roman sends natural gifts to one another.* \[JBP\] Now, notice how that end of the Seventh Seal is going to unfold there. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William says, he continues to say \[**“THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] The First Coming of Christ had a beginning and It had an end, and later He was glorified and entered into eternity already. Such is the Seventh Seal as well, such is the Second Coming of Christ for Christianity as well; which will be the First Coming for Judaism, because they didn’t understand what the First Coming of Christ was. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 474 \[p. 552 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\], of the book of ***The Seals***, it tells us: 325 Now, when that gets on tape, which It is, that’ll probably send ten thousand of my friends away from me. Cause, they’re going to say, that, “Brother Branham is trying to put himself, and make himself, a—a servant or a prophet, or something, before God.” Let me tell you, my brethren, that is an error. 326 I’m only telling you what I seen and what has been told to me. And now you—you do whatever you want to (\[JBP\] because the person has free will. You must do what you wish to do. No one is being forced). I don’t know who is going to…what’s going to take place. \[JBP\] There he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah, the veil of flesh**»*. \[JBP\] Let’s see in this book; here he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Who will the 7th Seal, the Angel, be?**»* (as a question). Many important things were spoken there this morning. Now, look: \[326\] I do not know. I just know that those Seven Thunders holds that mystery. The Heavens was quiet (\[JBP\] there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**silence for ½ an hour**»*. Everybody understand? It may be time, it may be the hour now, that this great person that we’re expecting to **rise on the scene** may arise on the scene. \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Angel of Jesus**»*, above “rise on the scene” he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Angel of Jesus**»*. And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah**»*. 327 Maybe this ministry, that I have tried to take people back to the Word, has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you, for good. There won’t be two of us here the same time. \[JBP\] And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Another prophet is coming**»*. And look, here, very small there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Who could it be?**»*. \[JBP\] We already know who He is. \[327\] See? If it is (\[JBP\] and above he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the Angel of Jesus**»*, he’ll increase; I’ll decrease. I don’t know. 328 But I have been privileged, by God, to **look and see**… \[JBP\] And on top of to “look and see,” he writes: *\[WSS\] «**In the Tent**».* \[JBP\] That’s why I can ask you: Do you know who he is? Of course you do! Because in the Tent you have seen and heard and received the one that he foreran. \[328\] … to **look and see** what It was (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Moses**»* (\[JBP\] because it is a dispensational messenger), see, see unfold to that much. \[JBP\] See why we have to cast aside what we thought it was or how it was, when the Seventh Seal is being opened? That is what he did: \[WMB\] “I had to put aside how I thought it was.” \[328\] Now, that is the Truth. 329 And I’m sure that you’ve noticed the things that’s been happening this week. I’m sure you noticed that little Collins boy laying there, dying, the other night; that little, leukemia girl. 330 The Kingdom of God is coming (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Dispensation of the Kingdom**»*. And It’s becoming more from the negative to the positive *\[WSS\] «**the 7 ages with its angels**»* (\[JBP\] and in “positive” he writes): *\[WSS\] «**The Morning Star**»*, as it has been. Now, that oughtn’t to choke people. \[JBP\] One shouldn’t stumble over the Seventh Seal; but there will always be people who would stumble. \[330\] From justification, to sanctification, to the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and then here, here. See? (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**The Coming of the Lord – The 7th Seal**»* We’re just drawing closer to God, all the time. \[JBP\] Now, to “draw closer to God all the time” is to get to know that Seventh Seal, to hear the Seventh Seal; it’s getting closer and closer and closer and closer to God. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE MAN WHO RECEIVED THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**\]: \[WSS\] That is why they \[are waiting\] continue to wait for the Messiah (\[JBP\] referring to the Hebrew people); and they will see him. But the Church is also waiting for him. Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit has been with and in His Church throughout these two thousand years of the Dispensation of Grace. \[JBP\] Remember that he said that the Door of the Dispensation of Grace was going to close; and he told us that the Door of the Dispensation of Grace was still open, but that at some point that was going to close.\* \***2017-01-27 “The Return of the Heavenly Citizens to the Father’s House” —Introduction—** / Bible Study #247, 16/Oct/2022 (Sunday), p. 60 / Bible Study #259, 27/Nov/2022 (Sunday), p. 50 \[WSS\] Remember that He said: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew, chapter 28, verse 20). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the book of ***The Ages***, on page 363 \[p. 324 in Eng.\] (in *this* one it’s 367… 367, which is 363), he says there: What was in those thunders no one knows. But we need to know. And it will take a prophet to get the revelation because God has no other way of bringing out His Scriptural revelations except by a prophet. The Word always came by a prophet and always will. That this is the law of God is evident by even a casual search of Scripture. The unchanging God with unchanging ways invariably sent His prophet in every age where the people had strayed from Divine order. \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Bride out of step**»*. And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Unchanging God / The Thunders**»* (upwards). And he also draws a Cornerstone and the ages. With both the theologians and the people having departed from the Word, God always sent His servant to these people (but apart from the theologians) in order to correct false teaching and lead the people back to God. So we see a seventh-age messenger coming, and he is a prophet. \[JBP\] And below he writes: *\[WSS\] «**A prophet will reveal the Thunders**»*. *«**The Bride out of step**»*. *«**God has to send them a prophet: Moses and Elijah**»* (he writes at the bottom). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] There in a writing, on the back, there is a part where he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Thunders: will be revealed by a prophet: that is how God reveals His Word**».* He also writes there, above: *\[WSS\] «**The Rapturing Faith: The Latter Teaching or Harvest Rain**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in this message “THE LAW OF REPETITION,” which was preached on December 24, 2010, here in Cayey, Puerto Rico, he says: **THE LAW OF REPETITION** **(Ministers’ Meeting)** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Friday, December 24, 2010* *Cayey, Puerto Rico* I hope that in the fulfillment of The Great Tent Cathedral, the Seventh Seal will be opened. \[JBP\] Meaning, because he knew, but he couldn’t speak more clearly than what he could. Now, he says: “I hope that in the…” And that was in 2010. \[WSS\] I hope that in the fulfillment of The Great Tent Cathedral, the Seventh Seal will be opened. \[JBP\] And if it is going to be opened, then it must have a prophet; “surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets unto His servants the prophets.” \[Amos 3:7\] It is not by any human interpretation that people are going to receive the Rapturing revelation, the Rapturing Faith. \[WSS\] The matter of… - if the Thunders and the Third Pull, all of that is going to be fulfilled there (\[JBP\] who will say the contrary?) because the Seventh Seal is going to be completely opened there (\[JBP\] where? In the Tent). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the book of ***Quotations***, on page 13 this one tells us… at the beginning of this portion, it says: \[56-0403 - “Shepherd of the Sheepfold,” p. 6, para. 15\] \[Study “Eighth Day = the day of vengeance,” 23/July/2022 (Saturday), pp. 14-15 / \] *100 - “15 One of these days I want to pitch that tent the Lord’s going to give me, right outside of this side of Chicago here somewhere, have about a six or eight weeks meeting. We’re just going to go right down the Bible and teach on those things* (\[JBP\] there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**The Tent and the Teaching**»* *and just let Divine healing rest, go just about once or twice a week, or something, and just teach the Bible. Now, those things are not mythical.”* \[JBP\] That’s what many are waiting for: for it to be something mythical. It is something common: speaking the Word; because the Third Pull is speaking the Word. *100 - “\[15\] In contact with the Holy Spirit* (\[JBP\] so am I)*, I’m an illiterate person. That’s true. There’s nothing to me. But when I come under His anointing, and He takes me away and shows me things, I just got perfect confidence that it’s just exactly right, ’cause it’s never failed. And He will never say one thing outside what’s written in this Bible.”* \[JBP\] And there he draws a Star of David on the right. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**It is written in the Bible**»*. Above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Tent**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s go to another place too: on page 31…, let’s see page 31, verse or paragraph 260, there it says \[***Quotations***\]: \[59-1220E - “Identified With Christ,” p. 3, para. 9\] \[Study “Eighth Day = the day of vengeance,” 23/July/2022 (Saturday), p. 16 / Study “The Teaching to obtain the Rapturing Faith,” 15-2/Aug/2022 (Monday), pp. 6-12\] *260 - “\[9\] And then if I ever have tent meetings; which I’m figuring on doing, the Lord willing, someday. Then I—I will, before I teach anything of these teachings, first will be a morning services with the pastors, for several days, let them know what I’m fixing to teach. And then if that brother doesn’t see it and doesn’t agree, any brother, then let them take their congregation, say, ‘Now, I don’t want you to hear this. We’ll just stay away while they’re teaching That.’ See? And give them the privilege.”* \[JBP\] Because every person has free will; but remember that the Rapuring Faith is for the one who will be transformed. The one who isn’t: has the free will to leave; he is not forced to be here. Now, look at what he wrote above: *\[WSS\] «**The Tent and the Teaching**»*. And brother William writes there: *\[WSS\] «**Brother Branham speaking in English…**»*. And, notice how he puts this here, which apparently doesn’t have anything to do with it; but it does. He writes: *\[WSS\] «**Brother Branham speaking in English to a young Mexican woman, and she heard in Spanish**»*. \[JBP\] These days we were talking about this; and… Notice something: when brother Branham was put in that vision, when he was… on that occasion of that Mexican woman, there was an interpreter there. But look, when he was placed in that vision, on that day of an activity, he was seeing and hearing everything that was happening there; and he said that the Thunders were uttering their voices in an unknown language (in the book of *The Seals*). But look at how he tells and narrates what he heard from the woman who testified, and from the man as well, in their language.\* \*\[59-1220E - “Identified With Christ,” p. 6, paras. 26-29\] \[61-0112 “Questions And Answers,” pp. 19-20, paras. 123-131\] Now, remember that there, at that time, there are all kinds of people. But since he was in the sixth dimension, everything is known there. Therefore, God allowed, notice, that he, despite knowing the English language, he was able to tell what he heard; therefore, that shows that when that was happening, he was already in the sixth dimension. He listened to the woman’s testimony: \[WMB\] “I’ve been like this for 20 years…” How would we know if he wasn’t supposed to understand that language? And he detailed it: “I’ve been bedridden for over 20 years - for 20 years, and now I’m healthy.” The man on crutches, too. The questions that they asked those people, like “what happened in there?” He also understood it, and it was written down\*. \*\[**March, 1956**, “Full Gospel Business Men’s *Voice* Magazine, Vol. IV, No. 2”\] • \[**56-0408A** - “What Is A Vision?” pp. 16-17, paras. 104-109\] • \[**56-0219** - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” pp. 7-8, paras. 21-24\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, we are going to be experiencing all of that; because look… Let’s read something quickly here: on 389 there is a part here where it says \[**“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEBREWS, PART 3”**\]: \[57-1006 - “Questions And Answers On Hebrews #3,” p. 28, paras. 751\] \[Study “The Seventh Seal being opened in the half hour of silence,” 6/May/2024 (Monday), p. 35\] *751 What difference does it make, as long as you are baptized? If it’s in a pool, and…Why, Philip was baptized in a pool…when the eunuch was baptized. When Philip baptized the eunuch in the pool, the Holy Spirit raptured him so much that He caught Philip away, he wasn’t seen for two hundred miles* \[3218 km\]*. Caught Him in the Spirit, give him a—a chariot right out of Heaven for two hundred miles. Amen. Wonderful!* \[JBP\] These are some of the - of the fruits of the promised land. Even knowing languages that we don’t know, there will be no problem at that time; we will take very good care of everyone who comes. It’s like now: there’s a little gadget that you clip on \[points to his ear –Ed.\], and you activate the phone there - or on the application, the person talks, and you hear him in the language that you set. In other words, science trying to supply for the human being, or trying to imitate; because they know… Notice, that fourth dimension is very much in use. But notice, we are going to be experiencing all those blessings even while we are in these bodies: transportation, language translation, and food that sustains our bodies for several days. I wish we could already be experiencing all of that in its fullness; but everything happens progressively. And there comes a time when you will realize: *“But… I understood the person, and I don’t know any Chinese or English at all.” “Wait, how long has it been since I’ve eaten?”* Don’t start now… trying to find a way. Everything will come in due time. Sometimes it happened to me, on the trips: we got hungry; sometimes we arrived to the places late at night, because he always wanted to go…; if we finished the activity, we went by car to the next place, and there were times when…, either he didn’t eat, and then we all had to keep going. There were times when we would escape; brother Miguel would escape, and me too!; yes, we had to grab a chicken drumstick along the way, and with… - we would eat a snack, because there was no time. But there were times when we sometimes arrived, and the place where we were going and where we arrived, there was nothing; because we either arrived unannounced, and moved up the trip; or for another reason. And I would go there: “Brother William, I’m hungry”; I didn’t have anything on me at that time. And I remember several times I would go to him, I would knock: “Brother William, I’m hungry.” And he would say to me: \[WSS\] “Look, take the pillow, fold it up, put it under your stomach, lie down on your stomach, and your hunger will go away.” And I: “Well… is that the food that he gave me now? Well then, I’m going to eat that food.” I took the pillow and I would lie down - face down; because hunger pain is a bit bothersome; and I would lie down like that. And when I woke up: “Wait!, but…,” I woke up not hungry and strong. And I thought: “Well, that food is good: the pillow under the stomach.” I repeat: don’t go and do that now. There is food, and God has blessed us with meals. But I learned there, see. And then I didn’t have to knock on the door again if there was a case like that. I already knew: time to eat a pillow! Hehehe. See, I put it underneath; and I didn’t have to go to him anymore, because I already had that word, which worked; so I would put it underneath. The next day, well… “I will devour everything I can find.” Those were moments when there were - when there wasn’t anything. It’s not that it was always like that; on one occasion or another, we had to manage; and I managed! He gave me the solution. See? You… you have to find a way around it. But if you go to bed complaining: “Oh, this isn’t… I’m not even eating or anything.” No. You have to find a way around it. Notice how God helps in everything. So, even in difficult times, God will always give you a way out. And don’t get angry. Instead, look, like Job: “God has given, God has taken away; blessed be the Name of the Lord!” \[Job 1:21\] And keep going; and God will always provide for you. Now notice, also on page…, let’s see there, 155… Look, sometimes I… or most Sundays, the nerves in my stomach; and for years… Sari knows that I don’t eat on Sundays, I only drink water. Not because I don’t want to, it’s because I’m used to it already. And sometimes we spend the whole day, and in the evening I finally eat something. And the…, even since Saturday, my last meal (perhaps) was at 1:00 yesterday? Or 2:00? Around 2:00. But after that, until the next day at 5:00 in the afternoon today, or 6:00. But God has helped me; and every individual is different. Now, there are others who even get cranky if they don’t eat. (Oh, Julian?) Noo. Hahaha! Humbertito also has to eat, because of his blood sugar…; and many likewise. And it’s good to eat, and to have all three meals. God has provided us with food and He has blessed us. And if there is a snack…; they say it’s good to snack on something every 2 hours, whether it’s seeds or something; that helps the metabolism; and that way the person stays strong. So, it’s good to eat well, to keep this body well fed. But when one goes into the supernatural, then it's different. Now, since I was 23 years old, 22 years years old, I’ve… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Well, look, on 155, paragraph 1387, there it tells us \[***Quotations***\]: \[65-0801M - “The God of This Evil Age,” p. 4, para. 16\] \[Bible Study #343, 17-2/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 12-13 / Study “Life is in the Word made flesh,” 9/Nov/2023 (Thursday), pp. 6-7\] *1387 - “16 Now, in doing this, I have come here for the purpose of teaching the last Vials, last…”* \[JBP\] Don’t think that… Here they are, look…! \[he stretches out his hand and signals to his right –Ed.\] enjoying themselves there too! They can listen and see. Now look: *1387 - “16 Now, in doing this, I have come here for the purpose of teaching the last Vials, last Seven Vials* (\[JBP\] now, he writes there): *\[WSS\] «**2002**»* (\[JBP\] and he writes…)*, and the last Seven Trumpets, and the last Seven Thunders, of the Book of Revelation, tying them together in this hour that we’re now living; to follow the opening of the Seven Seals…”* \[JBP\] Above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 7 Trumpets, the 7 Vials, the 7 Thunders**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Teaching in the Tent = The 7 Thunders**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 7 Trumpets**»*. Where is the Teaching? In the Tent: *\[WSS\] «**The Teaching in the Tent**»*. *1387 - “\[16\] … tying them together in this hour that we’re now living; to follow the opening of the Seven Seals, the Seven Church Ages* (\[JBP\] above that he writes): *\[WSS\] «**a Tent**»**. So, we couldn’t get room to do it. So I—I hope that, soon as I can, we’ll…can get a place sufficient for that, either here or in Louisville, New Albany, or either put up a tent, so we can just stay as long as the Lord leads us to do.”* \[JBP\] There he writes on the right: *\[WSS\] «**2002**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Tent**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On 12…, let’s look at 12-A; these are some of the places where it tells us about Teaching, and where that Teaching where it would be look at 12 to paragraph 124 it says \[***Quotations***\]: \[63-1128M - “Testimony,” p. 4, para. 22\] \[Bible Study #258, 25/Nov/2022 (Friday), p. 37 / Bible Study #321, 2-2/July/2023 (Sunday), p. 32\] *124 - “22 I’d like to get a place sometime, the Lord willing, when a tent comes on the scene. And I believe that’s soon now, soon I’m going worldwide. I got a worldwide meetings coming now. And I’d like to get a place where I could set down for about six weeks, and just take those things and go through them, you see, back and forth, through the Scripture.”* \[JBP\] And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Tent and the Teaching**»*. \[JBP\] Now, notice how God is fulfilling all of that, how that we go: from Scripture to Scripture, from messages to messages; going, coming, back and forth, showing the fulfillment of what He promised, and seeing the materialization of what He prophesied through the prophets. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice what he tells us in that paragraph of the **“THE LAW OF REPETITION”**: \[WSS\] I hope that in the fulfillment of The Great Tent Cathedral, the Seventh Seal will be opened. The matter of… - if the Thunders and the Third Pull, all of that is going to be fulfilled there, because the Seventh Seal is going to be completely opened there. Well, the greatest thing is the revelation, the miracles come after the Word. \[JBP\] The greatest thing is the revelation. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now he had left us a writing where he says: *\[WSS\] «**God transported Reverend William Branham to the future and he saw something that was already being fulfilled for some time: that is how the matter of the Tent Cathedral Vision was established**»*. \[JBP\] What he was seeing there was something already established, in other words, it was already in operation. And he continues to say: *\[WSS\] «**That’s how it will be, because it already was in the Vision, it already was in the invisible world, and it must be materialized**»*. \[JBP\] Today you and I are the materialization of that vision! Which is why we thank God that we are here in one of those activities before the one that he saw. Blessed are your eyes because they see and your ears because they hear the fulfillment of all that was spoken was prophesied by the Reverend William Branham! Which he saw in that Vision and he understood everything that was happening there. And today we are understanding and comprehending as God opens our understanding and the Scriptures to us so that we understand all the content of the Seventh Seal, everything that the Seventh Seal entails, which is the Coming of the Lord; and in His Message, in His Teaching, He gives us the Rapturing Faith. “**THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”** We have seen, briefly this way, a little bit of everything relevant to this subject. In this message you will already be listening, and then in the next Studies we will continue speaking and expanding on everything related to the content of the Seventh Seal. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Here it is - this is the one that I was saying this morning: “The Messiah and the Judaism,” (he has this book marked all over), and that is where he writes several notes; where he says: *\[WSS\] «**Saul was the 1st anointed king.* *David was the 2nd anointed king.* *Salomon was the 3rd one.* *And the Messiah will be the 4th anointed King**».* And here - also here in other places, he writes there that it will be… Let’s see over here too. I don’t know if this one… There are plenty of things written by him here. Here, in this one, look, he says… here he writes on the side: *\[WSS\] «**Messiah will be a man born of a man and a woman**».* \[JBP\] He also had one there where he wrote: *\[WSS\] «**Messiah ben Yosef**».* \[JBP\] Let’s continue. Later we will continue talking about all this… about the Name; which, God has already been opening that picture for us. In the morning one, something was opened there also\*. But notice, God is progressively giving us all that we need to obtain for the blessing that each of us desires: which is our transformation. \*\[Chat “The Seventh Seal and the Spiritual and Physical Healing Campaigns,” 29-1/Dec/2024 (Sunday)\] “**THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”** \[JBP\] Let’s stand, and let’s have this subject already… If there is anyone who would like to go to the bathroom, or to drink water, or to stretch a bit, well, after the Scripture you can take a short break with reverence; because the subject is a little bit long. Or if you wish to go now, there are some short breaks, to… There are those who maybe have to take some medicine, or eat something because they have diabetes or something they might have, well, we trust that God will strengthen them, and may He strengthen them more and more each time; and that when the time comes they won’t even need to go to the restroom. God is helping us, and He will continue to help us, to start obtaining those fruits of the promised land. “**THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”** He has been our Lord this year, in 2024. And in these days that are left, He will continue to be our Lord. And He will continue to be our Lord in the year 2025. And all the days of our lives, He will continue to be my Lord, your Lord. He was Father back then, He was Son; and notice in the Dispensation of the Kingdom: Holy Spirit. He made Him Lord, He made Him the Christ \[Acts 2:36\]; and His Name was Jesus. Today He has made Him: the Anointed One. We can sing. I heard a song today, of a young girl who sang; that hymn was beautiful: “You Are My Lord.” If it’s ready there, you can come up and sing that hymn: “You Are My Lord.” If the young girl can sing it, Elienai, the one who sang it, who sang that hymn: “You Are My Lord.” He is and will always be our King there in our heart. “*You, Lord, are my King! You rule my life, You rule my whole being.”* “*As You have done this year, may I feel Your presence in me more this coming year, Lord; and may You always guide my steps.”* Say it to Him! He said that “before they call, I will hear; and while they are yet speaking, I will answer.” Isaiah 65, around there \[Isaiah 65:24\]. He knows your needs; you just need to cry out to Him. “Call unto me, and I will answer you, and speak to you, and tell you things which you know not” \[Jeremiah 33:3\]; but you have to cry out! Now notice, He knows our needs. Why? Because He is your Lord. He is my Lord. “You Are My Lord.” **148- YOU ARE MY LORD** 1 You are my Lord, you are my God, my King, the Master of my being, Omnipotent and Faithful. 2 Take what I am, take all of me, and do Your will, for Your glory. PRE-CHORUS My soul, spirit and body I dedicate to You, to You alone. and now I rest in Your everlasting arm, I feel secure in You. CHORUS Wherever You lead me, I will follow You Wherever You take me, I’ll be there And whatever You tell me, that is what I’ll do. Serving You is my life, oh God; let me reach to the end. \[JBP\] Yes, Lord. He said in Luke 11:11 **Luke 11:11** *11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?* *12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?* *13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?* \[JBP\] You are my Lord. Yes, Lord! PRE-CHORUS My soul, spirit and body (\[JBP\] All of my being, to You) I dedicate to You, to You alone. and now I rest in Your everlasting arm, I feel secure in You. CHORUS Wherever You lead me, I will follow You; Wherever You take me, I'll be there; And whatever You tell me, that is what I’ll do. Serving You is my life, oh God; let me reach the end. END /// Let me reach the end. /// Omnipotent and Faithful. \[JBP\] “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, I will do it” \[John 14:13\]; meaning, everything! Nothing is impossible with God. We are in the time to speak the Word. Speak It without fear! Confess without fear what you believe! Remember that He already knows what you need. For the prayer line, every person was standing there because they knew what they needed, and they said: “If I go through that line and enter, I will be healed.” Because something had to have moved those people to take that prayer card and stand in that line; something moved them. Today He is moving His Bride: to face Her needs and cry out to God for them. The greatest of all, which He will give us, is our transformation; therefore it is a promise, and He is faithful to fulfill it in every elect. “**THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”** Notice, everything the Seventh Seal contains for us. May God bless you, may God keep you; and may He always help you here in Puerto Rico, in this congregation of Cayey, Puerto Rico; may He keep you united, of one mind; and may He lead us all to reach that goal of the transformation. And you who are seeing and hearing me: in all other countries as well! It is a promise that is contained in the Seventh Seal, and He is faithful to fulfill that promise. “**THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, in John, chapter 17: verse 1 says: **John 17:1** *1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:* *2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.* *3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.* *4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.* *5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.* *6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.* *7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.* *8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.* *9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.* *10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.* *11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.* *12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.* *13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.* *14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.* *15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.* *16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.* *17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.* *18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.* *19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.* *20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;* *21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.* *22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:* *23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.* *24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.* *25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.* *26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.* \[JBP\] Amen! God keep you, God bless you; and may Love, the Divine Love in this Third Pull, reign in your hearts. That is the Great Victory in Divine Love. “**THE CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”** Let’s have the subject for this occasion; for this reason, we will leave with us right away our dear brother and friend Dr. William Soto Santiago.
