<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><u>BIBLE STUDY #473 – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2024  
</u></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Kigali, Rwanda, Africa</u></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present.

Thank you very much, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin. I thank our heavenly Father that He has granted you to be here with us. And we ask the Lord to keep you healthy and strong until your transformation; may you continue to be a great blessing to the entire ministerial body and to the entire Church of the Lord.

To all those who are present, ministers who are followers of Brother Branham’s Message, ministers of the Age of the Cornerstone, brothers and sisters: on this occasion, may God open your understanding, open the Scriptures to you, so that you can see and hear that Still Small Voice; and may He speak directly to your souls, to your hearts.

And those who have not come up, come up to the Age of the Cornerstone today; because that is where the promises are, which were promised in the Holy Scriptures, and were spoken by the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord: Reverend William Marrion Branham, whom we love; we love his Message, we love his family. And we love you.

For this occasion, we also greet all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite, and other means of communication, and those who will be seeing and hearing this activity today, Sunday, December 15th of this year 2024.

I bring many greetings from the West, of the land of the Americas, and especially from The Great Tent Cathedral.

And I thank the Lord that my wife Sara Meléndez and my sons-in-law are also with me, accompanying me on this trip. And also the wife of our brother Miguel Bermudez Marin, our sister Ruth, she is also accompanying us; and other brothers: technicians, our brother Bruno and his wife Lorena, and all those who are in this place, who have come from the West; may God also bless them greatly.

For this occasion, let’s search in the book of Acts, in chapter 1, verse 1, on, where it tells us:

**Acts 1:1**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:*</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] And there our brother William writes on the side:</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>40 days</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

<span class="blue">And he draws a Star of David.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.*</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] </span><span class="blue">And there on the right he draws a Star of David as well.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.*</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] And on the left he writes:</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>East – West</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.*</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] And there he writes:</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Day 24 of the 2nd month</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**PASTORS WORKING IN HARMONY** </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**IN BOTH CAMPS, IN FAVOR OF THE RESTORATION** </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID** </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**(Ministers’ Meeting)** </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Thursday, February 19, 2009* </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Asuncion, Paraguay*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Scripture: Acts 1:1-9**</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And we will be having a Bible study under this subject, in which we trust that God will open the whole picture for us of what the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel is at this end time.

I learned a word here…, or two, or three words; which is “God bless you”: *Imana ibahe umugisha*.

Now notice, just as I am learning to speak your language too, you are also learning Spanish; which, Reverend William Branham spoke and said that<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[WMB\] “the Thunders spoke in an unknown language”</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span>; therefore, it was not English, it was Spanish.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seals*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">, “The Seventh Seal,” pp. 548-549 paras. 299-300\]</span></span></span>

And don’t you worry, whatever you can’t learn while you are in these bodies, from the Spanish language, after you are transformed you will speak it just as clearly as we are speaking it. For now we need translators; but remember that there was a believer who heard brother Branham in her own language\*; therefore, that goes to show that at any moment, while we are in these bodies, we will experience what that woman experienced; that is adoption.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[59-1220E - “Identified With Christ,” p. 6, paras. 26-29\] \[61-0112 “Questions And Answers,” pp. 19-20, paras. 123-131\]</span></span></span>

Now, God shows and showed in the life of our brother Branham, partially, what there would be at this end time in all its fullness. He showed a sample, when God showed him in the 5 manifestations of the power of God\*:

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*\[</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**Sister Meda Branham’s Healing:**</span></span> <span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">64-0120 - “His Unfailing Words Of Promise,” pp. 10-17, paras. 71-136</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> / </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**Stopping the Storm**</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">: </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">63-1110E - “He That Is In You,” pp. 20-24, paras. 86-122</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">) / </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**Resurrection of the Little Fish**</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">: </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">57-0623 - “Believe From The Heart,” pp. 17-20, paras. 130-157</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> / </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**Creation of Squirrels**</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">: </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain,” pp. 15-24, paras. 33-52 </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">/ </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**Salvation of Hattie Wright’s children:**</span></span> <span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">60-0417M - “Go, Tell,” pp. 26-28, paras. 170-188</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\]</span></span>

• When he spoke the Word and stopped that storm: power over nature.

• When he spoke the Word for the creation of squirrels: that’s creative Word; which is the Third Pull.

• When he gave the Sword to our sister Hattie Wright, and he said: <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[WMB\] “Ask for what you want.”</span> Now, notice it was the Holy Spirit telling her to ask for what she wanted. That is the Word being spoken in favor of our family members.

• Then, he spoke the Word, and the tumor that our sister Meda had, who was going to be operated on at a distance, he spoke the Word and the tumor disappeared.

Now, notice that that spoken Word will also be manifested from a distance and people will be healed. No matter where they are. In other words, that also represents the healing of the body, that wherever an elect of God is hearing to the Voice of the Son of God…: just as those who are in Paradise, in the sixth dimension, will hear the Voice of the Son of God, and they will be resurrected: the living will be transformed, wherever they are.

So, don’t worry because you are in Africa: today you are listening live. But wherever the Seventh Seal is, you will be listening. Therefore, in the moment of transformation, wherever you are in Africa, you will be transformed; and you will see that the Word is fulfilled from a distance there.

“But he is not here, and my body is changing.” Brother Branham says: <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[WMB\] “The gray hair will go out, the wrinkles will fall away.”</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span> Today you are going to remember what I am telling you today: “He told us that at a distance, I’m here in this city…,” some are in a village, in a house, in a hut. And you say: “But me, who am I?” You are a king and a queen! You are a firstborn of God! It doesn’t matter where you live and where you are.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**60-1211M**</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - “The Ten Virgins, And The Hundred And Forty-Four Thousand Jews,” p. 26, para. 136\]</span></span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, our brother Branham told us in a portion, which is placed here in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span>, of excerpts preached by Reverend William Branham; on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 14-A</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 142</span>, it says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[65-0711 - “Ashamed”: 65-0527 - “Africa”\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*142 - “But I still believe that, through God, I will minister again, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, among the people of Africa.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] This was in May 27 of ‘65. And God took him away, he left in December of that year, and he didn’t come back; but he says that God was going to allow him to minister again among the people of Africa. The ministering spirit of Elijah was speaking there, which on its final ride in its fifth manifestation. And it says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*142 - “God has promised to give us the desire of our heart, and that’s one of the desires of my heart.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Today, the fifth Elijah says: That desire of my heart has been fulfilled for me today! And today I am, today, Sunday, December 15, 2024, ministering here in Africa.

God grants the petitions of our heart. Only believe; that is the only thing He asks you to do: believe.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, going into this subject a little more, in the message <span style="color: #c00000;">“SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD’S ORDER,”</span> preached on May 31, 2003 in Mexico City, Dr. William Soto Santiago, who was an Angel of the Lord sent from the presence of God to announce the Second Coming of the Lord, tells us.

And just as it was at the First Coming of the Lord, where that Angel appeared to the virgin Mary and told her that she would have a son, and that He would be called Son of God, Son of the Highest… Let’s turn there, to see this brief conversation that Gabriel had with Mary; which, in Friday’s message, notice that there our brother William spoke to us about that conversation; and he told us:<span style="color: #c00000;"> “Therefore…”</span> a little before then:

\[Message from Friday’s study, December 13, 2024\]

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**THE MESSAGE FOR ALL NATIONS** </span></span>**(Ministers’ Meeting)** <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Friday, June 27, 2008* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*São Paulo, Brazil*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[P. 6\] Remember that the virgin there, the Virgin Mary, represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; therefore, there will be a conversation with the Church, an angelic conversation. And let's leave it there…</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now notice, the Church of this end time, the Church-Bride, represents Mary; that is, Mary 2,000 years ago represents the Church-Bride of this time. And just as Gabriel had this conversation back then with Mary, Jesus’ mother, at this time, He has has that conversation with the Church-Bride.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s see what he told us there in Luke, chapter 1, verse 30 onwards:

**Luke 1:30**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:*</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.*</span>

\[JBP\] Just as He spoke to the Mary back then: he spoke to the Mary now, which is the Church-Bride, about that Son who, in His Second Coming, would be the One that would restore the Throne of David; and the One that would be born of the Church-Bride, would be the One who would sit on the Throne of David.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now he speaks to us here in this message, our brother Branham, on page…; it’s an excerpt from the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 33</span>,<span style="color: #7030a0;"> paragraph 282</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[60-0311 - “Mary’s Belief,” p. 6, para. 18\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Study “The incarnate Word,” 4/Feb/2023 (Saturday), p. 8 / Bible Study #370, 22-2/Dec/2023 (Friday), p. 23\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*282 - “\[18\] … and standing there was a Angel, the mighty Gabriel. He’s a messengers to the Jews. Remember, Gabriel announced the first coming of Christ; the Angel Gabriel will announce the second coming of Christ. The Bible said so.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] And there he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Gabriel = announces the 2nd Coming of Christ</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[JBP\] What we saw in the time of Jesus, around the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Lord, there was a forerunner: John the Baptist; there was an Angel bringing that revelation to Mary, of that son that she would have, what that son would be; and we saw the fulfillment of that son in Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter from Nazareth, the One forerun.

And at this end time there was a forerunner: Reverend William Marrion Branham; and there was an Angel —in the flesh— bringing us those Good Tidings, that news; and there is the one forerun - and there is the one forerun, of whom they spoke: another carpenter, but not from Nazareth; a Cayeyan, from Puerto Rico.

Meaning that the same as we saw back then, today we are seeing it at this end time. <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[WMB\] “It’s parallel in every way,”</span> brother Branham said. Therefore, what we are seeing today, is the fulfillment of the Scriptures, it is the fulfillment of what was promised. Every Word of our brother Branham, everything he spoke, has not fallen to the ground.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look at what Dr. William Soto tells us here, in this message<span style="color: #c00000;"> “SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD’S ORDER”</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD’S ORDER** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**(Minister’ Meeting)** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Saturday, May 31, 2003* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*(Fourth activity)* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Mexico City, Mexico*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, after the different angel messengers, the seventh angel messenger also saw that there was an important position, and that if he managed to get ahold of it, the Hebrew people would be converted to Christ under the ministry of Reverend William Branham.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Or do you think he wanted to go to Israel to have a trip? He had everything ready: “I will go there and preach, and I will call the leaders, and the Holy Spirit will start to discern through me, and then they will believe.” But the Holy Spirit told him: “Don't go. It’s not the time. And it has to be according to Scripture; the iniquity of the gentiles has not yet…” \[</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seventy Weeks of Daniel*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - 61-0730M - “Gabriel’s Instructions To Daniel,” pp. 31-32, paras. 153-158</span></span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\]</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”**</span> preached by Reverend William Branham, it tells us on page 36 (which is page 39 to 40 of this other book; if you can confirm it…; because this is version 36, but in yours it should be 39), it tells us…, on paragraph 150 (Huh? 39, 39 to 40):

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seventy Weeks of Daniel*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - 61-0730M - “Gabriel’s Instructions To Daniel,” pp. 30-31, paras. 150-152\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">150 Israel returning to their homeland, Israel. Let me just say this now while…I guess it’s off of tape. Let me say this. The very hour that Israel become a nation…The reason I’ve always believed, ’fore my class here, that there was something that I’d have a part, before I die, of getting Israel back to the Lord </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes there): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>brother Branham would have a part in bringing Israel back</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Because, when the very hour, by the Pan American chart, that Israel was declared a nation, for the first time for two thousand years since they been scattered, not a people; it was that very same hour, exactly to the hour, that the Angel of the Lord met me up yonder and sent me to the…with the Gospel. The very same thing, May the 7th, 1946.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">151 Now, then, another thing that gives me to know. It’s “restoring the hearts of the children back to the fathers, and the hearts of the fathers to the children,” the Message. Notice, Malachi 4 (not 3), 4!</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">152 Another thing. When Billy, my son, and I, Brother Ern Baxter, was on our road to Palestine, after we had met the Jews at Brother Arganbright’s, and they seen the meeting. Lewi Pethrus had sent these Bibles over there. And he said…These Jews come, said, “If you will call up a bunch of the leaders of Israel, I mean, not these new rabbis with all their ceremonies, but call the real Israelite leaders together. And we have read this New Testament, and we know that when the Messiah cometh, He’ll tell us these things, like the woman at Samaria. We know that Moses said our Messiah would be a prophet. And when you can tell them and show them, by the Scripture,” that which we will get in tonight’s Message, “that they had to be darkened and their hearts cut off, so that the Gentile space could come </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes there): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>for the gentiles to come in</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, that we’d have a time of reconciliation for the Gentiles. And their hearts were hardened just exactly like it was in time of Joseph </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes on the left there): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Joseph</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, and so forth. And then bring those Jews to a place, and call those men from that audience, just like you do these Gentiles here, by that inspiration of the Spirit. Cause,” they said, “if this Jesus, if He is the Messiah, and your words are true, then He is not dead, and He’s alive. And if He is alive, He promised to be in His…the ser-…His servant—servants, His disciples. And if we can see Him do the sign of the prophet, then we will believe that He is Messiah.”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What a perfect thing, exactly right. Then, what would that do? A nation would be born in one day, amongst the leaders.</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now, remember that He had told us that they will see Him among the gentiles. But remember that everything is fulfilled progressively, and moments and acts are fulfilled where that stage is then opened and God begins to work.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on<span style="color: #7030a0;"> page 22</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 176</span>, there Reverend William Branham tells us <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[57-1006 - “Questions and Answers On Hebrews #3,” p. 26, paras. 729-734\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Bible Study #245, 9/Oct/2022 (Sunday), pp. 34-35 / Bible Study #335, 20/Aug/2023 (Sunday), pp. 11-12 / Study “The Jewish Age,” 2/Sep/2023 (Saturday), pp. 65-66\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*176 - “\[729\] And there’s them two witnesses.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*730 And when they tormented the church, or the world, by their preaching; and receiving back the Jews, 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…*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*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.’”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] This upcoming week, the Scripture…, because the Hebrew people always have a Scripture to read, and it’s when Joseph went to his brethren, when he was 17 years old. And they have another Scripture.

But notice, in 2016, he had told some people who were going to give me a title, and he said to them: <span style="color: #c00000;">\[WSS\] “Tell them that he has been in the ministry for 25 years”</span>; he started it from the age of 17. That is, when I was 17 years old. That Angel was showing something there in that year 1991.

Now, let’s continue here:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*176 - “\[731\] There’s them who killed Joseph, standing there; and he said, ‘Well, I’m Joseph, your brother.’ And he wept.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*732 And they said, ‘Now we know we’re in for it, because we killed him.’*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*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.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*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.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Why with healing in His Wings? Because the One that they are waiting for comes with the ministry of Moses and Elijah.

Now, notice how they already knew him, because they went a few times there to the palace where Joseph was in Egypt; and then it was that he revealed himself to them.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, we continue on page 40 of <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL”**</span>; it says <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 31\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[152\] A nation would be born in one day, amongst the leaders. Every one of them would say, “We know it.” When that rabbi says that, that settles it. A nation would be born in one day. Israel would be born in one day.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And there he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>8th Day, a nation will be born</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">153 And I was on my road, and stood at Cairo, Egypt, with the ticket in my hand, and fifteen or twenty minutes of calling time. They was fixing to make the call.</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now, I was seeing that Cairo and here in Kigali, and *Durbán* or Durban, are on the same - down the same line; in other words, we are in the center. Kigali is... they say that here, that this place, is the heart of Africa. In other words, I have come to speak to the heart; because we are here from heart to heart.

Now notice, our brother Branham in Cairo, with his ticket in his hand, on his way to Israel, why did He allow him to get all the way there, to have that whole preparation, of tickets and everything, tremendous logistics; and then when he was about to board, He sends him back.

Now look, he says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[153\] And I walked down to see a little piece of this ebony, with a little elephant made out of ebony, with a—a ivory tusk. I was going to send it to a doctor friend of mine, Dr. Sam Adair, for a paper weight. And I was looking at it. And Something said to me, “This is not yet the hour. Stay out of Palestine.”</span></span>

\[JBP\] And he writes on the right: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Hour for Israel</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">154 So I thought, “That was just me thinking that.” And I went on. Something said </span></span>(\[JBP\] Notice, God speaking to the prophet there)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, “This is not the hour.”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">155 And I went out behind the hangar. I raised up my head to God. I said, “God, was that You speaking to me?”</span></span>

\[JBP\] See what a person has to do, when he sees or feels that God is speaking to him? Go to the presence of God, and say to Him: “Lord, if that’s You, help me, guide me, to make the right move.”

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">156 Said, “This is not the hour. Stay out of Palestine.</span></span>

\[JBP\] There he draws a Cornerstone and the seventh age; there where it starts from paragraph 156: <span style="color: #7030a0;">“This is not the hour,”</span> and there, kind of an arrow towards the seventh age.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[156\] This is not the time.” Then I took my ticket and changed it, and went from there up through Rome, and come back to Lisbon, in Portuguese, and from there back to the United States.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">157 The hour was not yet. The iniquity of the Gentiles hasn’t filled up yet, just to the end of the cup. But some day that will be, and God will send somebody there that’s a prophet </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses and Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">…</span></span>

\[JBP\] “Surely the Lord will do nothing, without first revealing His secrets to His servants the prophets.” Amos, chapter 3, verse 7.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[157\] …and will prove to them. I trust that God will raise him up right away, whoever he may be, that’ll raise him quickly </span></span>(\[JBP\] Meaning, whoever who is? That instrument, that veil of flesh)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. I believe it has to come. That’s what we’re studying this for, that we’re so close.</span></span>

\[JBP\] On page 30 of the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*The Ages*</span> he told us that <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[WMB\] just as Peter and Paul brought the Gospel to the Gentiles through the ministries of Moses and Elijah; which, they were representing, typifying: that the Gospel would return to the Hebrew people</span>, and he says that<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[WMB\] the rapture will take place.</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span> Therefore, something has to happen with the Hebrew people first, before the rapture, and also with Brother Branham’s group.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Ages*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” p. 36\]</span></span></span>

Because there is a people, there is a group of elect, believers in brother Branham’s Message, who will come up to the Age of the Cornerstone, and will be transformed and raptured as well. There is a group and there is a number; and I know that number.

Because, notice, all of that is between the lines. The opening of the Fourth Seal contains that mystery; and the opening, therefore, of that Messianic ministry, when it is opened to the Church —which is the Seventh Seal: the Coming of the Lord to the Church Bride, and the Seventh Trumpet to the Hebrew people, which is Moses and Elijah—: they come with a commission: to seal the Bride as well as the 144,000.

Now, which group do you belong to? Because you see there is a group that is selected as the Bride. But remember that the lost tribes, those 10 northern tribes were scattered, and most of them are among Christianity; and the two southern tribes: the tribe of Judah and Benjamin, those —most of them— are in Israel; although there are also tribes… - people who belong to the northern tribes there.

Now, if there is a number of elect among the Jews, the Hebrews, 144,000; there is a group, a number, who have gone up (and also who will not go up), from the seventh age to the Age of the Cornerstone, believers in the Message of brother Branham, there is a number there; and there is also a number of the elect who have fully come into the Age of the Cornerstone.

Therefore, by putting those two groups together, the Church Bride becomes the Church Bride, where there is a number. There is a number in the 144,000, and there is a number of the Bride.

You just thank God that you are part of that number, meaning <span style="color: #c00000;">\[WSS\] “if it’s just one</span> (brother William used to tell us) <span style="color: #c00000;">I want to be that one.”</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\*</span> In other words, you don’t worry that you’re in that number there.

\*PENDING SPANISH

What makes you so sure of that? Because you believe that promise and you believe that Word and because you are here today and those who have not been able to come, who are at a faraway distance, who have not been able to come because of a certain situation: I am also referring to you; all those who are in Africa, believers in the Message.

Now it continues to say <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL”**</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span> <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 32\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">158 And, remember, the very minute that the Jews receive Christ, the Gentile Church is gone. Then the Gentiles has the plagues poured out upon them, the Tribulation.</span></span>

\[JBP\] There he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Plagues</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span>, on the left.

And also upwards, there on the left, he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses to the Jews</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now all this would be happening before the start of the great tribulation; as it tells us on page 358 of the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*The Seals*</span> in Spanish; it tells us…, let’s see here, book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***The Seals***</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 358 \[p. 412 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\]</span>, to 359, it says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">260 Now, Jacob, as he come up now, the first thing you know, he got a longing to go (where?) back to the homeland.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">261 Oh, that’s exactly what Israel has done! (...) Jacob is Israel. He just had his name changed, you know. (...)</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">262 He got out there, and he got all the money he had, and he could get, and took it any way he could, from his kinsfolks or anybody else. So, cheating, stealing, lying, any way he could get it, he got it. See? He did.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">263 And then when he starts back to home, he got to get a homesick feeling in his heart. But as he started back, on his road going back, he met God, then his name was changed. See? But, in this time, he was so worried, because he was afraid Esau was coming after him. See?</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now remember, Esau —that’s Rome\*; Edom—, Esau is also represented in the beast, in the man of sin, the antichrist.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bible Study #403, 14-2/Apr/2024 (Sunday), p. 23: </span></span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*<u>Esau - Rome, denomination</u>*</span></span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*».*</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">264 And—and watch, watch the money, the money proposition. Just like the Jew will try making this covenant with—with Rome, see, in their money proposition.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And above there he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The covenant with Rome</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[264\] Notice it. That Esau didn’t need his money; neither does Rome She’s got the wealth of the world in her hand. See? But it didn’t work.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">265 But we find out now, that Israel, in that time of trouble </span></span>(\[JBP\] and there he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>by Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the…that got a hold of Something that was real.

Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the—and the—the Fellow said, “I must be going now. It’s coming daylight.” Oh, that breaking-of-the-day! See? It was fixing to come day.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And above he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>7th millennium</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message<span style="color: #7030a0;"> **“LETTING OFF THE PRESSURE,”**</span> preached by Reverend William Branham, it tells us in this message… (Let’s pause for a moment here in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*The Seals*</span>). Our brother Branham tells us here on one occasion when he was in Africa; and he tells us:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[62-0513E - “Letting Off The Pressure,” pp. 10-11, paras. 59-63\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Bible Study #258, 25/Nov/2022 (Friday), pp. 42-44\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*59 One time I was in Africa, and I was watching a sheep feeding. It was a lamb, oh, a middle-grown sheep. And the little fellow was eating very peaceful, and all at once he got restless. And he would take a bite; he’d look around. He’d take a bite. When, he was peaceful. I was watching him. He looked just as calm. I thought, “Isn’t that peaceful out there? Look at that little fellow.” The shepherd that had been watching them had gone to the corral, back; native, colored.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] That is, he had left that sheep there and had left the corral for a moment; our brother Branham was observing all of that.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*60 And I watched this little fellow. And after while he got nervous. I thought, “What’s the matter with that little guy?” I was watching him, course,* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>from the 6th dimension</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*…*</span></span>

\[JBP\] From where was he watching him? From the sixth dimension. From where is brother Branham watching us today? From the sixth dimension. And look, he says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[60\] I was watching him, course, through binoculars* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses and Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Meaning that at this end time, and more specifically today: God is looking at the African people through the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

Therefore:<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[WMB\] “When that persecution comes </span>(brother Branham says) <span style="color: #7030a0;">don’t get scared; there’s a Light that will say… - or that will take the Church, will rapture Her.”</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span> That’s in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*Quotations*</span>.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**63-1229M**</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - “There Is A Man Here That Can Turn On The Light,” p. 50, para. 279\]</span></span></span>

Now look, it says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[60\] And he got so nervous. He’d look this way and that way. He started bleating. He didn’t know what to do.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Notice how Israel has also been at this end time, now they have attacks on seven fronts and one more has even been added, war fronts; and it’s all shaky. But the God of Israel is with them, and will never forsake them.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[60\] He started bleating. He didn’t know what to do. I thought, “What made the little fellow get so excited, all at once?”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*61 Now, he was in a little pasture field. But way over behind there, I noticed something raise up and let down again, about a half a mile from him. Hid good in the weeds, a lion slipping up.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Remember that at this end time the enemy will come as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour <span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1 Peter 5:8</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\]</span></span>. But who identified him? The ministry of Elijah: he saw it among the weeds…

Remember the quote we talked about in a Study, how that…, that serpent’s trail, how it came slithering through the weeds; but then it was uncovered on the road, and it was identified\*. Now, Elijah knew the danger that was coming.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**61-1210**</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - “Paradox,” pp. 8-11, paras. 57-61, 64-73, 77\]</span></span></span> <span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Bible Study #428, 12/July/2024 (Friday), pp. 24-39\] </span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[61\] And that little fellow, something in him was building to a place that he knowed there was danger somewhere.*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> *He couldn’t see it. But the lion had smelled the sheep, and he had to get quick now to get him, before the shepherd got him, got him out of the way.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*62 So then, watching him, tension had built. And in the distance this lion was slipping up, real easy. Yet, the—the sheep couldn’t see the lion, but there’s just something inside of him that told him that danger was at hand.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] And he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Danger at hand</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*63 That’s the way it is today, that there is something inside of people, that let’s them know something is fixing to happen. We know it. The Christian knows it* </span></span>(\[JBP\] like Israel there…, in what we are reading, which we are going to continue, from the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*The Seals*</span> )<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*. The world knows it. The drunkard knows it. The gambler knows it. The businessman, the governments, the U.N.* </span></span>(\[JBP\] that is, the United Nations)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*, all of them know that something is fixing to happen. It’s built a tension.*</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, here the Hebrew people when they see… Let’s see, it says… <span style="color: #7030a0;">Page 359 \[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">***The Seals***</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span> <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 413\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">266 But Jacob said, “I—I’m not going to leave You. You, You can’t go. I’m going to stay right with You.” See? “I want things changed here.”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">267 That’s that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money-scheming bunch, and things like that, when they see the true, genuine thing to get a hold of. There stands Moses, and there stands Elijah.</span></span>

\[JBP\] In other words, just as Jacob held on to the Angel and wouldn’t let go, likewise, the Hebrew people will take hold of that instrument and will not want to let go. They believe their prophets.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[267\] Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">268 That’s just before the Tribulation period.</span></span>

\[JBP\] Above there he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Rev. 10:1-7; Luke 17:30</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*».*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[268\] … (oh how wonderful) also, “Jacob’s trouble.”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[269\] They, the—the preachers, them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist. “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel!” Repent what? “Repent from your sins, your unbelief, and turn back to God!”</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to tells us, in the message that we’re reading: <span style="color: #c00000;">**“SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD'S ORDER”**</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] So after being so close </span></span><span class="blue">(\[JBP\] that is, brother Branham)</span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, there in Cairo, to take the plane to Israel, he had to turn back. If he had gone to Israel, first of all, he couldn’t succeed, because he didn’t have the ministry of Elijah in his fifth manifestation, and he didn’t have the ministry of Moses in his second manifestation.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 358 \[p. 412 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\]</span>, it tells us in the previous paragraph, halfway down the page; he says <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">***The Seals***</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[256\] And they’re, every one, headed that way.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">257 But, to all that’s got their names on the Book of Life, God will call. They’ll hear It. “My sheep hear My Voice,” Jesus said. Only thing we got to do is make a sheep-call </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes on the left): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>My sheep / The 7 Thunders, the 7th Seal</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Goats don’t know It. Notice. But, you see, the sheep-call, “My sheep hear My Voice.” Why? What is the Voice? I want to tell you what a Voice is. A Voice is a—is a spiritual sign.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">258 He said to Moses, “If they won’t hear the Voice of the first sign, they will hear the Voice of the second sign.”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">259 “My sheep hear My Voice.”</span></span>

\[JBP\] And he writes on the right upwards:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The 1st sign — Elijah.</u>*</span></span>

And also at the bottom there, in that same paragraph, he writes the same thing again:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>First sign — Elijah.</u>*</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In this book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”**</span> it also tells us there on page 120 (which is page 139 to 140 of the other version), it tells us:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seventy Weeks of Daniel*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - 61-0806 - “The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,” p. 103, paras. 150-152\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">150 Now, you remember when the Jews was returning back, them Jews from down in the other nations, and the Look magazine give the article of it. I read a clipping from some paper, some religious magazine, that when they…Them planes went down there to pick up these Jews way down in Iran. And I don’t know where all they were, just scattered down.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, them is the true Jews, them that never had an opportunity. Now, brother, there’s your hundred and forty-four thousand. When we get to Revelations 11, you’ll see them.  
</span></span>

\[JBP\] Why does he say: <span style="color: #7030a0;">“When we get to Revelations 11”</span>? Because that pertains to the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Revelations, that is, \[the book of\] Revelation.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[150\] He said, “There’s twelve tribes (of Gad), twelve tribes (of Asher), twelve tribes (of Reuben), twelve tribes…” And where were they all standing? On Mount Sinai </span></span>(\[JBP\] there on the right he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Rev. 7:2, 14:1</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Jews, back in the homeland, there they were. They were the ones that wasn’t this Wall Street crooked bunch. No, sir. It was the real Jew.</span></span>

\[JBP\] There he writes, on the left upwards: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The 144,000 on Mount Sinai</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">151 And when this old rabbi stood out there and seen this plane land, them Jews. You read it in the magazine. They were still plowing with wooden plows. And when they seen that thing set down out there, they wasn’t going around it. That old rabbi stood out there and said, “Remember, our prophet said, ‘When we go back to our homeland, we’ll be carried back on the wings of an eagle.’”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Nations are breaking, Israel’s awakening,*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*The signs that the prophets foretold.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">We’re even fixing to hit that seventh week for them.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, remember that he had said he won’t miss a minute: page 23 of this book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”** </span>- 23 or 24. Let’s see there, where he says that<span style="color: #7030a0;"> “it won’t miss it one minute.”</span> If you find it there. 29; here in this one it is 26:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seventy Weeks of Daniel*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - 61-0730M - “Gabriel’s Instructions To Daniel,” p. 22, paras. 105-106\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">105 Now, do you understand, class? If we can find out what these seventy of weeks are, we know when the consummation is. Oh, my! God help us to know it. It tells us exactly somewhere in these pages, exactly from that time till this time, until the consummation, and it won’t miss it one minute.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">106 How God’s great Word…</span></span>

\[JBP\] And he writes there: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>That will not fail</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[JBP\] Remember that God deals with the gentiles for the same amount of time as He dealt with Israel: 1954 years. Later on, we will read a part there, where he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;">*\[WSS\] «The last 3 and a half years of the 1954 year»*</span>.

But 1954 years, if you start it from the date of the year 70, of the destruction of the temple there in Israel, that gives you a certain number; and then, from 71 - 72… In other words, there is a time period there, by adding those 1954 years.

Now, where are we today? We are closer than what we can imagine.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he goes on to say:<span style="color: #7030a0;"> “I think”</span>..., on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 139</span> where we stopped (here it’s 120) <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL”**</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span> <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 103\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">152 I think, myself, standing out there, when Brother Pethrus sent down them little Testaments, and they read them. They said, “Well, if this be the Messiah, let us—let us see Him do the sign of the Prophet; if He isn’t dead, He’s alive.” They said, “He raised up again; He lives in His Church; let us see Him do the sign of the Prophet, and we’ll believe Him.” The Jews always believes…They know the Messiah was to be Prophet.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And he writes on the side: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The prophet = the Messiah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 2-A</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 15</span>, of the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span>, Reverend William Branham tells us:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[54-0103M - “Questions And Answers #1,” pp. 36-37, paras. 231-234, 236\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Bible Study #349, 8-2/Oct/2023 (Sunday), pp. 47-49 / Study “The Age of the Adoption,” 13/Jan/2024 (Saturday), pp. 22-24 / Bible Study #426, 5-2/July/2024 (Friday), pp. 17-20\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*15 - “\[231\] That’s the reason I’m praying, that’s the reason I’m crying to God, ‘Lord, I want to get to those Jews. Let me start in down there in Africa, work with a few of those Gentiles and Mohammedans.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] God has allowed me in my ministry, before going to Israel, to start in Africa, to start with you. God fulfilling His Word. It is the ministry of Elijah riding that ministerial trail again.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*15 - “\[231\] And let me go over here in India and try to produce and show to them the real Lord Jesus Christ with His powers, His miracles, His Baptism, everything, and the Holy Ghost.’ Then when they come to Jerusalem...*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*232 Brother Beeler, this was what you was asking about.* </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">***When they come to Jerusalem and stand out there***</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*, and say, ‘Now, if Jesus is the Son of God that raised from the dead, He knows the things just like He did back there in the beginning, He can produce the same Life that He did back there. And if He does, will you accept Him as your personal Saviour?’ And then show that God by His great powers and things of His resurrected power, He’s with us.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*233 Then when they do that, say, ‘Now, you that have received Him as your personal Saviour…’ I hope there’ll be thousands of them. Say, ‘The same Holy Ghost that fell on the Day of Pentecost is right here for you.’*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*234 Then the Gospel goes back to the Jews right there at that time. Then there’ll be a revival amongst those Jews right there that’ll carry thousands and tens of thousands and...a hundred and forty-four thousand, into the Kingdom of God, will be sealed by the sealing Angel.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] <span style="color: #7030a0;">“By the sealing Angel.”</span> Here in this version, he says: <span style="color: #7030a0;">“By the sealing Angel.”</span>

And above there he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

And on the right upwards he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses and Elijah, and the 144,000</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

Where he says <span style="color: #7030a0;">“When they come to Jerusalem and stand out there,”</span> there he draws a Star of David on the left.

\[JBP\] Notice, he always marked and identified the work of the Two Olive Trees with a Star of David; because he says that the Star of David, in the message <span style="color: #7030a0;">“IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?”</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span> that it is the sign of the end of time. In other words, the sign of the end of time is the instrument in which God would be operating those ministries; because the greatest sign that God has on planet Earth, in every age and in every dispensation: is a prophet.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[62-1230E - “Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir?”\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*15 - “236 And right there, as soon as that sealing Angel begins to seal that hundred and forty-four thousand, the Gentile Church door is closed, and the Jews takes the Holy Ghost to the Jews. And they’ll have a revival that’ll sweep the entire world. Hallelujah! And the power of God will be manifested amongst the Jews.”* </span></span>

\[JBP\] There on the left he also writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Rev. 7:2, 11:3-7, 14:1</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice, he continues to say here in this book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL”**</span> <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 103\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seventy Weeks of Daniel*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - 61-0806 - “The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,” pp. 103-104, paras. 153-156\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">153 And when I stood out yonder at Brother Arganbright’s that day, at the place, and them Jews standing there, said, “Just come to our place, our people.”</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">154 I said, “Sure, I’ll be glad to come.” Just made a decision, too quick.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">155 I got to Cairo, Egypt. </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The other night, when I seen that plane coming down there at Cairo, it reminded me. So when we got back there, and I had my ticket to go up to Israel, they was going to meet me. I said, </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">“Go, gather up a few thousands of the leaders. Bring them out on the plane somewhere, we’ll find out whether He is still a Prophet or not. Amen. Well, let’s see what He will do.” Oh, that was just right in their hand. That’s what they wanted. If they could see that, they’d believe it.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">156 So what did I do? Got down there at Cairo, and I started to go up there. Done had my ticket; about twenty minutes to calling time.</span></span>

\[JBP\] There was twenty minutes left for the calling. Remember that the half hour of silence, and in the half hour of silence, is where that whole mystery of the Seventh Seal and the Sixth Seal are contained. In other words, what was not fulfilled in brother Branham, was not fulfilled because it was not the time assigned by God, nor did he have the relevant ministry.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[156\] Something said, “Not now. The cup of iniquities, of the Gentiles, isn’t full yet. The Amorites’ hasn’t been fulfilled. Stay out of there!” I thought maybe I just imagined that, and I went out behind the hangar and prayed. Said, “Stay out of there now.” Then I took my ticket and went somewhere else. I didn’t go, for the hour isn’t yet.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look at what our brother William continues to say <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD'S ORDER”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] Therefore, he </span></span><span class="blue">\[could\]</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">could have</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> managed to convert many people to Christ, but he had to place them in the seventh age; and then, that’s when the denominations would try to get ahold of them and bring them </span></span><span class="blue">\[to\]</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">into</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> denominational systems.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now in the message <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE,”**</span> preached by Reverend William Branham, on page 21, it tells us:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[64-0726M - “Recognizing Your Day And Its Message,” pp. 19-20, paras. 100-107\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Bible Study #323, 9/July/2023 (Sunday), pp. 36-38\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*100 Balaam never recognized the Angel until the mule spoke in tongues. Balaam could not recognize that an Angel was standing in his way. A blinded preacher could not recognize that it was God standing in the way, trying to keep him from selling his gift for money. And when the mule spoke in a human voice, then Balaam recognized that it was the Angel standing in his way, trying to keep him from doing what he was doing.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*101 Oh, you blinded denominations! If God can use a mule, that’s dumb, to speak in a language that he doesn’t know, to reveal to a minister that he’s out of the way, can’t He use a man to do the same thing? Blinded people!*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*102 If Ahab had only recognized his day, he would have never condemned the prophet, Micaiah, with the Word of God of promise to him.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*103 When Ahab stood there that day, him and—and Jehoshaphat. And when they had four hundred prophets out there prophesying, saying, “Go up! Everything is all right. Ahab, you’re living in sin. You’ve made us great denomination! We’re a great people. We’re a great ministry. Here we are, we’re four hundred trained priests, or prophets. We are four hundred, trained in the Word and theology. We know all about It.”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*104 So, now, it proved they didn’t know all about It. The man that they called a crazy man, in the generation before them, Elijah, the true prophet of God, had prophesied, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, ‘The dogs will lick your blood, Ahab!’” See?*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*105 But those priests, man-made prophets, thought they had It all fixed up just right. They said, “Father Abraham…or, Father Ahab, go up! The Lord is with you. You’ve got the Scripture, because God gave this land to Israel. It belongs to Israel. Go up! The Lord is with you.” Oh, my!*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*106 But, you know, Jehoshaphat, one that hadn’t mingled in sin like Ahab had, he saw things a little different. He said, “Isn’t there another one?”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*107 He said, “We got one here, but I hate him.” See? What was God doing? Chopping His people out, with a prophet, again.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] And there he draws on the left a Star of David.

And he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>God chops His people out with a prophet</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[107\] “I hate him. He doesn’t do nothing but just condemn me all the time. And you know I’m a great man. I wouldn’t have this seminary down here if I wasn’t a great believer. I’ve got well-trained men. I set them down there with books and Bibles, and everything else, to teach this. And I know they are great man.”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*But if Ahab had only recognized who that guy was, this poor little ragged-looking fellow, the son of Imlah, standing there, tell him, “THUS SAITH THE LORD,” he’d have never made that fatal mistake that he made. But he condemned Micaiah. He never did…*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Oh, people, recognize the age that you’re living in! Look what’s happened. Look what’s promised.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] There he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.

<span style="color: #7030a0;">“The age that you’re living in,”</span> an arrow towards the seventh age.

And <span style="color: #7030a0;">“what’s promised”</span>: towards the Cornerstone.

Now, notice that if he had gone to Israel (as our brother William tells us), he would have been successful, but he would have brought them into the seventh age.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, it says…, our brother William continues to say <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD'S ORDER”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] The call to the Hebrew people is already established and can’t be otherwise; and God can’t work differently than how He has already determined; even if it’s not the most attractive to the people…</span></span>

\[JBP\] In other words: *“No; I don’t like that instrument. I’d rather stay with the previous one, or the one before that, or the one before that.”* In other words, Wesley’s group may say: *“I’m staying with Wesley,”* or *“with Luther,”* or… Notice, many still haven’t understood that we are in a new age and in a new dispensation, and they have even said: *“I’m staying with brother Branham,”* or *“I’m staying with brother Branham’s message. I am waiting for him to come back.”*

But notice that when the Church-Bride began on the Day of Pentecost, It grew from age to age; and God sent a messenger for each age, gathering the elect of that age; and that’s how it has been in all ages. And when God took His messenger: He closed that eye and opened another, that is, He brought another message; and that is how it has always been.

And at this end time we are in the time of the Age of the Cornerstone, where there isn’t only one eye, but the Two Eyes, the Two Eyes of the Lamb; in other words, the ministries of Moses and Elijah are present, in the Age of the Cornerstone.

Now, notice that when people want God to fulfill something, or what God is promising, when God fulfills it, they want it to be their way. It is the way that God already predestined from before the foundation of the world.

But the elect of God, that…, it doesn’t matter however God fulfills it: they are looking at the promise; and when they catch it, by revelation from Above, which is the Holy Spirit working in the midst of the people, fulfilling the prophecies: *“This is what I was waiting for. ”* The way He is fulfilling it, even if it doesn’t seem to be someone who fulfills the qualifications for that, you say what God says: “I am sending this one because he fulfills my qualifications.” And who can add anything to what God has said?

Then he that is of God says: *“Well, if You fulfill it that way, Lord, then I believe it, I receive it with all my heart, with all my soul!”* And there you become part of that prophecy. And everything relevant to what the fulfillment of that Word brings, which comes in human flesh, all the promises contained in there: are yours! No one can snatch them out of your hand.

Why? Because you have received the one who brings the fulfillment of that prophecy, of those promises.

Now, he says <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “SUBJECTING OURSELVES TO GOD'S ORDER”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] … even if it is not the most attractive to the people, God will do it as He has already planned.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, he tells us in <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”**</span> on page 124 of this version (which would be 143 and 144 of your version), he says…, our brother Branham says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[169\] And, remember, what’s these two prophets going to do when they come? </span></span>(\[JBP\] Remember, here he is referring to the ministries of Moses and Elijah).

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">170 This beast, this prince that shall scatter the power of the holy people, what will he do? He will break his covenant with them. After three and a half years, he’ll oust them. Now, people thinks that’s communism. That’s just ’cause you…The Spirit of God hasn’t dealt with you yet. It’s not communism; it’s religion. The Bible said, “It’d be so close till it’d deceive the very Elected if possible.” Jesus said so. See, we’re in the last.</span></span>

\[JBP\] That is, from the seventh age it goes up to the Age of the Cornerstone.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">171 Now, these two prophets, what will they do? It’s Moses and Elijah that will rise on the scene. They’ll tell those Jews their mistake. And out of that Jewish bunch that’s there now, to be the hundred and forty-four thousand, God will call by these prophets. What is it? The Spirit of Elijah, off of this Gentile Church, will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call; Moses with him. </span></span>(\[JBP\] That is the paragraph we read from the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*Quotations*</span>)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Hallelujah!

And, brother, you talk about doing miracles, they did them. “They stopped the heavens, and it didn’t rain in the days of their prophecy; smote the earth with plagues, as oft they wanted to.” They give plagues and everything else. They’ll give them Romans a hard way to go. But, finally, they’ll be killed.</span></span>

\[JBP\] That is, the ministries of Moses and Elijah in that prophecy.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he told us, look, on the same <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 57</span>, there in <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 499</span>, when this happens; because notice, there he says: <span style="color: #7030a0;">“Oh”</span>..., on page - paragraph 499 <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*499 - “215 And, oh, watch these three prophets…or these two prophets, when they raise up here. And in the middle of the week…”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] That is, halfway through the week. The three and a half that are left for the Lord to carry out in the midst of the Hebrew people, which are the last three and a half years of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy, notice, those last three and a half years pertain to the great tribulation.

But notice, that’s why when he once said: <span style="color: #c00000;">\[WSS\] “If we knew the exact day that the great tribulation begins, we would know the time when those ministries would begin that work of those three and a half years in the midst of the Church.”</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\*</span> It is a spare time; that is…, he says:

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**1976-08-08 “Who is that man?”**</span></span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">: </span></span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[WSS\] So, we find that in that ministry God will be operating, working, for three and a half years, thus being the Word working through human flesh.</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And then we see that after those three and a half years are over: he dies, because he is killed, and then the tribulation begins. You see?</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, we know, then, that before the tribulation begins there is a blessing of three and a half years for God to work through Moses and Elijah, and be a benefit to the elect.</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If we knew when the three and a half years of the great tribulation would begin, then we would also know when the three and a half years of the ministry of Moses and Elijah begin or would begin.</span></span></span>

\[JBP\] Notice that in the Law He was the Father; the Grace: the Son; the Dispensation of the Kingdom: the Holy Spirit. He was Lord; He was Jesus; He was the Christ. With His new Name, He is the Anointed One.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And, boy </span></span>(\[JBP\] “Boy!” That’s what we say in Puerto Rico: *“Muchacho”*)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, He curses that church, and He burns her with fire.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David on the right.

Who curses it? That instrument, where the Holy Spirit is opening those ministries.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[173\] And, why, she…We find it out there, even the shipmates standing out, said, “Alas, alas, that great immortal city of Rome, she come to her end in one hour.” She was blowed to pieces. God knows how to do things. And one of the Angel looked over, and said, “Why, the blood of every martyr of Christ was found in her,” for her deceiving, going out here and organize, and making all this other kind of stuff, and polluting the church, and brought them things in there, and martyred the very ones that tried to uphold It and tried to bring them out.</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now, he writes there, upwards on the left:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And now, our brother Branham is gone and the Hebrew people are there waiting…</span></span>

\[JBP\] And notice, our brother William has left us, and the Hebrew people are there waiting.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] But look, it tells us in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***The Ages***</span> on page 365 <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[p. 326 in Eng.\]</span> (which would be 369 of the red book, of those pages that are equivalent to 365)... But notice how the final vindication that Reverend William Branham was the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord…, what it tells us here:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Though he will not be popular, he will be vindicated by God. As Jesus authenticated John, and the Holy Ghost authenticated Jesus, we can well expect this man will be first of all authenticated by the Spirit working in his life in acts of power that are indisputable and found nowhere else; and Jesus Himself, in returning </span></span>(\[JBP\] and there he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>with Moses and Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, will authenticate him, even as He authenticated John. John witnessed that Jesus was coming, — and so will this man, like John </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, witness that Jesus is coming </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses and Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

\[JBP\] Revelation 11 is the same as Revelation 19: the Coming of the Lord. What the Seventh Seal is to the Church: the Coming of the Lord, is the Seventh Trumpet to Israel: Moses and Elijah.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And the very return of Christ will prove that this man </span></span>(\[JBP\] in other words, he is speaking of himself)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> indeed was the forerunner of His second coming. This is the final evidence that this indeed is the prophet of Malachi 4, for the end of the Gentile period </span></span>(\[JBP\] and there he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>the last 3 and ½ of the 1954</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»* </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">will be Jesus, Himself, appearing </span></span>(\[JBP\] and there he writes again): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Elijah and Moses</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Then it will be too late for those who have rejected him.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And Reverend William Branham, for those who haven’t received him yet or who wish to receive him: he was the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord. And the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels is the final vindication that Reverend William Branham was the forerunner of the Coming of the Lord.

That is why in this hour I tell you, and I reiterate to you, that Reverend William Branham was the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord.

In other words, the presence in the midst of the Church, the presence of those ministries, is the final vindication that brother Branham was the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord. Today I testify those words!

Just like in His First Coming, Jesus said that John the Baptist was His forerunner, at this hour, I bear witness that the Reverend William Branham was my forerunner! As simple as that.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look on page 371 <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[p. 327 in Eng.\]</span> (which is 366, 371 here in the red book), he says <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">***The Ages***</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">See, immediately after the coming of THIS Elijah, the earth will be cleansed by fire and the wicked burned to ashes.</span></span>

\[JBP\] And there he draws an arrow, and writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses and Elijah – 6th Seal</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*».*</span></span>

After the Scripture, when he reads Malachi 4, from 1 to 6, at the end, that paragraph begins: <span style="color: #7030a0;">“See, immediately after the coming.”</span>

I don’t know if the page matches: 367, so that you have it there; there after the Scripture, there that paragraph begins, and that’s where he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Moses and Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span>, which is the Sixth Seal.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look in the message <span style="color: #c00000;">“WHAT LIES BEHIND THE DOOR,” </span>which was preached October 15, 2008 in Lima, Peru, it tells us:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**WHAT LIES BEHIND THE DOOR** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**(Ministers’ Meeting)** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Wednesday, October 15, 2008* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Lima, Peru*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, the Door of the Kingdom of Heaven was opened on the Day of Pentecost.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And in Luke it says (chapter 13), that when the Master of the House gets up and has shut the door, then they will come knocking at the door; and in the parable of the wise virgins and the foolish virgins in Matthew 25, verses 10 to 13, it says that when the foolish virgins went to buy oil, the Bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with Him (to what?) to the Marriage; and the door was shut.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">See? There is a time when the Door will be closed; and when it is closed, the time of redemption, the time to receive Christ and obtain the new birth, is already closed.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message<span style="color: #c00000;"> “THE VOICE THAT WILL SHAKE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,” </span>he tells us in the message: <span style="color: #c00000;">“Therefore…,” </span>and a little bit before, he says:

\[Message from Sunday’s study, August 13, 2023\]

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**THE VOICE THAT WILL SHAKE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**(Ministers’ Meeting)** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Wednesday, May 4, 2005* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*(Third activity)* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Talcahuano, Biobio, Chile*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[P. 39\] And then, in Revelation chapter 11, the Two Olive Trees are prophesying.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What is it? It is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees in the One who eats the Book, who is represented in John the Apostle eating that Book. He is representing the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ there, who at the Last Day, will receive the Title Deed, the Book, and will eat It; and he will prophesy the Divine Judgments that will come upon the Earth, he will prophesy them before many peoples, nations, and tongues.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Therefore, we are close to the arrival of that—to that moment, of prophesying before many peoples and tongues, taking place. </span></span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] Therefore, it hadn’t happened yet at that time; he was not prophesying before many people, nations and tongues; because he says: </span><span style="color: #c00000;">“We are close to that happening.”</span><span class="blue"> And he says:</span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] But mercy is still extended in Heaven. There is still mercy in Heaven, we are still in the Dispensation of Grace, the Door of Mercy is still open.</span></span>

\[JBP\] In other words, he (that was in 2005) was telling us where we were; and then \[if\] you see the messages of 2018, there he told us:<span style="color: #c00000;"> \[WSS\] “The Door of the Dispensation of Grace will close soon.”</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\*</span> Therefore, the time that we are living is a time outside of the Dispensation of Grace.

That Angel stood and said: “There should be time no longer, the time of redemption is over.” Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 onwards.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he continues saying <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “WHAT LIES BEHIND THE DOOR”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] It does not mean that there will not be preaching. There are people coming to the altar to receive Christ; but the time to receive Christ and obtain the new birth will be over.</span></span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] Now, if the Door of the Dispensation of Grace closed, then, which Christ are they receiving? They must be receiving the Anointed One, the Messiah, in His Second Coming. Which, in the Tent Vision he sees people weeping, with they hands raised, receiving the Lord</span><span class="blue">\*</span><span class="blue">.</span>

<span class="blue">But if the time of mercy under the Dispensation of Grace has closed, where are they going to find mercy? Under the ministries of Moses and ELijah. So, it is a Door that is above, in the Age of the Cornerstone, where he said in Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1 onwards:</span> “Come up hither.”

<span class="blue">To come into the Age of the Cornerstone, one is required to enter through that Door. And the Door is Christ, it is the Messiah, it is the Anointed One. In His First Coming, there was a Door to enter into the Dispensation of Grace; and that Door had a name, because the name is placed on the door.</span>

<span class="blue">Therefore, if that Door is closed, then where will they enter at this end time? The Third Pull, remember, is for the Church-Bride, for the foolish and for the lost, and the Hebrew people; and if they are going to enter through a Door, then that Door has a name.</span>

<span class="blue">Now, notice what he says there:</span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] Let’s say that those who come after are already prepared to go through the great tribulation and give their lives in the great tribulation, because the Third Pull will be for the Church-Bride, it will be for the foolish virgins and it will also be for the world, and therefore, for the Jews who will be impacted and will see Christ coming for His Church.</span></span>

Not coming with the glorified physical body, but coming with His heavenly body, in which He has been in the midst of His Church the whole time.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] But that same Holy Spirit that was in the midst of the ages, of which Reverend William Branham said on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 134 \[p. 154 in Eng. (First Seal)\]</span> of the book of<span style="color: #7030a0;"> ***The Seals***</span> in Spanish:

\[JBP\] We will acknowledge Him as King of kings and Lord of lords!

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And he says <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “WHAT LIES BEHIND THE DOOR”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] And we are not going to explain much there because there lies the mystery of the Seventh Seal; because that is the Angel that cries as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, how do they utter them? It says in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*Quotations*</span> that it’s by a prophet. Page 82 from the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 696</span> tells us:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[62-1230E - “Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir?” pp. 39-40, paras. 305-308, 314\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Study “The Thunders = The Voices of the Seventh Seal,” 27/May/2023 (Saturday), pp. 8-9\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*696 - “305 Look where the voices was, the Thunders. Not in Heaven; on earth! The Thunders never uttered from the heavens. They uttered from the earth. (...)*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[306\] After It’s all done, completed. Then, these Seven Thunders’ voices is the only thing, that’s stuck to the Book, that’s not revealed. It’s not even written in the Book.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Above he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Voices of the Thunders were on the Earth = through a prophet</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

And he draws on the left a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.

Now, where? In what age? In the Age of the Cornerstone.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*696 - “307 Oh, my! I wish I could get that, that the people could actually... Don’t fail. Don’t, don’t fail. Please don’t, this time. I’m fixing to leave you. Don’t fail. (...)”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now, remember, there he was preaching <span style="color: #7030a0;">“IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?”</span>; and he was going from East to West. That is, he was going to preach <span style="color: #7030a0;">*The Seals*</span>… from the West he would go to the East. Let’s see… Rather, from East to West…, we can check that later. See? There was a correction. We will see that later.

Now look, he continues to say:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*696 - “308 These Seals are on the backside of the Book. “And at the time that the seventh angel is sounding, all the mysteries that are written in the Book is completed.” And immediately the Book, that was open and written within, is closed, “The mysteries of God is finished.”* </span></span>(\[JBP\] there he draws a Star of David on the left)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*314 Now, ‘When he begins to sound, the mystery will be finished.’ Now, note, then it’s time for the Seven Seal voices, of Revelation 10, to be revealed.”*</span></span>

And on the right he also writes, upwards: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Thunders = The Voices of the 7th Seal</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

Now, here in this writing, in a Bible study where they put that paragraph there for him, he writes:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The 7 Thunders: The Voice of Christ in His Coming, revealing to His Church the 7th Seal, His Coming, and giving Her the Faith for Transformation and Rapture</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “WHAT LIES BEHIND THE DOOR”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] That is the Voice of Christ speaking consecutively to His Church, as He spoke to His Church during the seven ages; but back then it was: through one, He paused when the messenger left; and then, when the other messenger arrived, He spoke again; but here in Revelation 10, He speaks consecutively.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look at something very important to identify where He speaks consecutively. In the message that we will be seeing today, notice there on page 23 where he says <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**(MM) “PASTORS WORKING IN HARMONY IN BOTH CAMPS, IN FAVOR OF THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

\[Message from today’s study, Sunday, December 15, 2024\]

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[P. 22\] And since the Lord comes with His Angels, the ministry of Jesus, the ministry of Elijah, and the ministry of Moses will be there. That is why you find Reverend William Branham, in his message that foreruns the Coming of the Lord: he speaks of Jesus, he speaks of Elijah and he speaks of Moses, because the Son of Man comes with His Angels, with the Two Olive Trees.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The Lord comes, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, He comes speaking as when a lion roars; because then —when the Church is completed— He changes from High Priest to King, and Lion, and Judge of all the Earth.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And when He speaks, He is already speaking as a Lion, not as High Priest, because mercy, the time of mercy ends, the time of redemption ends.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The people who already received Christ are safe; and those who didn’t receive Him: no longer have time to receive Him. </span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">But Christ continues to speak, He speaks “as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices”: It is the Voice of Christ speaking consecutively to His people, and it is the Thunders “crying as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices.” \[</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Revelation 10:3</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\]</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And the Thunders reveal the mystery of His Coming, they reveal the mystery of the Seventh Seal (which is His Coming), and they reveal the mystery of the New Name.</span></span>

\[JBP\] Which we will be hearing later on.

But notice, after the Dispensation of Grace closes, He continues to speak. And what is He speaking? He will be speaking the voices of the Seven Thunders, which is the revelation of the Seventh Seal, which is the revelation of His Coming.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, it tells us in the message<span style="color: #c00000;"> “THE FOURTH GENERATION,”</span> which was preached on November 4, 2007, in Goiânia, Brazil, he says:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**THE FOURTH GENERATION** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Sunday, November 4, 2011* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">For the restoration of the seed of Abraham to the promised land, there were four stages for the restoration; in other words, in the fourth generation (that fourth stage) they entered the promised land.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And now in the time in which we are in, four stages for the restoration of Israel would also take place; and for the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, four stages would also take place.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">In the fourth, it is the entry into the promised land, the promised land of the new, eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified body, to enter with that body into the Kingdom of Christ, the eternal Kingdom of God, and thus have the double portion, the heavenly body, which is obtained with the new birth, and the glorified physical body, which is for this end time, for the fourth generation.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE”**</span> there it tells us on page 40 of this message:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 61-63, paras. 482-492\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Study “Getting Into the Kingdom Positionally,” 5/Aug/2023 (Saturday), pp. 13-15\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*482 God is the good Husbandman. He pruned the Tree, that was all, cut off all the dead limbs. What’s He going to do? Burn them, up there. Exactly. God is the Husbandman of the—of this Tree. He takes care of It. He watches over His Heritage.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now look, let’s see if it’s here, where he writes… I think it’s in this one, where he writes that Tree… Here it is! He writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Tree of Life = a prophet</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[JBP\] Now look:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[482\] He watches over His Heritage. He…What is His Heritage? His Own Word. He watches over His Word, to confirm It; to watch It; see where He can get It. He’s going to restore. So when these churches begin to organize, and things like that, He just prunes them off, and the Church goes on.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] That is, It doesn’t stop. That branch organizes? It is pruned off, it is cast out, and It continues to grow.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*483 When the—when the Lutheran said, “We’re going to become an organization. We’ll be as big as the Catholic.” All right. He just pruned off the branch. And Wesley took It right on, raised up another prophet. Then, soon as Wesley did it…Well, Wesley died, the great prophet. What’d they do? Organize it. On come Pentecost. Soon as she died, He pruned that off. It’s raising right on up. See? He’s going to restore.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*484 Where does the fruits grow? It don’t start down here on the bottom. It starts in the top. Where does the sun hit the Tree first? Ah, glory! In the evening Light, the top of the Tree* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Sun in the top of the Tree</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span> (\[JBP\] and he draws a Cornerstone on the right)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*. Amen. Not down on the bottom branches, but up there in the top of the Tree is where the fruit ripens at* </span></span>(\[JBP\] there he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>the fruit ripens at the top</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Amen.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Do you love Him? Amen!*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Will you serve Him? Amen!*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Do you believe Him? Amen!*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*I sure do believe Him, with all my heart.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*485 Now, what is it? He’s going to prune off them old dead vines as She comes up, all those organization vines, till She gets right up in the top of the Tree. There is where He’s going to get His fruit.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] He draws a Cornerstone and the ages and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.

\[JBP\] Where will He get His fruit? Not in the first age, not in the second, not in the third, not in the fourth, not in the fifth, not in the sixth, not in the seventh; not in the gap. It’s above, in the Cornerstone!

Therefore, if you want to be raptured and you want to be caught up by that Light: you have to be there; because in the breach and in the ages you would be in the wrong station. And He will come, He will take His children, and you’ll say: *“But wasn’t there supposed to be a rapture?”*

Hasn’t it happened to you sometimes, that you go to the airport, and you go to a gate, that is to say, a boarding gate; and if you aren’t watching, they might change the gate. And they are already making the call at that gate where you are supposed to be; and they make the call and you are at the wrong gate. And the gate closes there, the plane leaves; someone may ask you: *“Who are you waiting for here?”*

—“Well, I’m waiting here for them to call me, because this is where I last saw that they were calling here.”

—“*No; it’s… that flight is at that other gate.”*

You run to the other gate, and the most you might get to see is that person closing the door; and you can knock and knock and knock, and no one will open up; what you can be seeing is… Didn’t they see Him ascend to Heaven there?

Now notice…, there are so many things that can be said about it. Because notice that Revelation 11 will also be seen by many; but by then, notice, it will already be too late.

Now <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE”**</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span> <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 62\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[485\] Now notice. God prunes Her. All right. They are dead, and won’t come into the—the Presence of God, won’t come in the first resurrection. But be with…The Vine fruit of the original organiza-…Vine of God. They’ll go into the organizational group, but they won’t come with the fruit of the Vine.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*486 Now look. God never did put out a organization. The church puts the grafts in, an organization, and God cuts it off, cuts off its lifeline. It bears organizational fruit.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*487 But if that Vine put forth a branch that come out of the Vine, It’ll bear the same as That did. So, you see, the first one was. And Rome sent their beetles over there and eat It off, but God is going to grow One so high that it can’t touch It* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Tent</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*.*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> *It’s going to come on up. Amen. I…Let’s go.* </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*The Tree goes from one place to another, from one dispensation to another dispensation.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now we know that the Tree is the prophet: He goes from age to age, from dispensation to dispensation, bringing the Food to His people, relevant to that age and that dispensation.

And he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Dispensation of Grace to the Dispensation of the Kingdom</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[487\] From Luther, It went to Wesley; from Wesley, to Pentecost; from Pentecost, It goes to the Word.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">  
</span></span>\[JBP\] “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; and the Word was made flesh.” It is the Tree of Life. John, chapter 1, verse 1 and on.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*488 It is Easter again for the true believers of His never-failing Word. It’s Easter. It’s a resurrection. God has got people everywhere. It’s Easter for them. Why? They have risen, amen, risen from those creeds and denomination. Come right up through them. It’s Easter again. The Royal Seed has been hid in the roots, the Word, hid back here in this Word, for years, and years, and years, and just now begin to be revealed. It’s Easter time. Predestinated from the foundation of the world, this Church is begin to stand. Notice how that God predestinated, in the beginning. I got…*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Well, I’m going to say it, anyhow. All right.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*489 Notice here, that, to restore the first perfect Tree in three days after Its death. After the first Tree’s death, He restored it in three days. Is that right? \[Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.\] Restored it back!* </span></span>(\[JBP\] There on the left, he draws there a Cornerstone and the ages; and he numbers the last three, and in the Cornerstone he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>4</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> *Now the Bride Tree is also going to be restored in three ages, three stages, rather. Three stages, It’ll be restored. Now look. What? Justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost; one, two, three.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*490 Now notice. After three days, the first Tree restored as at the beginning, having the same signs, same wonders. Jesus come back, the same Jesus, doing the same thing. At the end of the third day, the signs appeared, not the end of the first day. Oh, brother! I hope you’re getting it. At the third day is when the real manifestation of Christ was made known, at the end of the third day* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>on the 4th day</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and also on the left upwards, he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>on the 4th day</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*491 Not at the first day, dead form; second day, there was a rumor, see, or, the second day, it was still dead; Luther, Wesley. At the beginning of the third day, there was a rumor around. Nothing on the first day, Luther; nothing on the second day. And in the third day, the dispensation of the Holy Spirit* </span></span>(\[JBP\] and he writes): <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>7th dispensation</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»* </span></span>(on the left)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*, there was a rumor around, that, “He was the same yesterday, today, and forever.”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*492 But at the end of the third day, that’s where He made Himself known, come right among them, come among His people and said, “Look at Me.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, there’s a message that he preached, our brother Branham, titled <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“FELLOWSHIP”**</span>; and in this message he says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[60-0611B - “Fellowship,” pp. 17-18, paras. 42-43\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[42\] Then people saying He’s just a prophet. Oh, my. The super Sign: Jehovah as a boy, playing; Jehovah, a man toiling in the carpenter shop; Jehovah, Hisself made flesh and dwelled among us, stretched His tent down here, made Hisself a body to live in it; to have a Blood cell, that that Blood cell could be broken…Hallelujah! That was the Lamb of God that was slain from the foundation of the world, that brings us eternal redemption. The Bible said so here. It brought us eternal redemption. We are purchased by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ which has given us Eternal Life. How did He do it? I don’t know.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] That was in the First Coming of the Lord.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*43 You know the devil always looked in to find out what He was. One day they said, “If He’s the Messiah, He will—He will certainly do some strange signs.”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*He said, “If Thou be the Son of God, turn these stones into bread.” Messiah’s a miracle worker. He is yet. He’s always been. Certainly. The “Messiah” was “anointed One.”*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*The anointed one today is the Messianic Church, this Church, this Church of the newborn. This church has come through the water (“Faith cometh by hearing.”), through the blood (cleansed life), through the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost is the anointed One…*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now notice, who is the Anointed One? The Holy Spirit!

That’s why he said that<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[WMB\] “this Holy Spirit that we have, when He is incarnate, we would crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords.”</span> And that is why we can say to him: He is the Anointed One, because he has the Holy Spirit incarnate!

Wasn’t that what they said to him - what Peter said to Jesus: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!” <span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Matthew 16:13-17, Mark 8:27-30</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\]</span></span> Those were the disciples in the First Coming of the Lord.

And God’s sons and daughters, the elect of the Age of the Cornerstone, can identify the Holy Spirit at this end time; and that is why they can call Him: You are the Anointed One, the son of the living God, the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord!

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[43\] Holy Ghost is the anointed One, the Messianic church. Glory. Why? Messiah Church will have signs of the Messiah in it!*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Which is the Messianic Church? African brethren: you are part of that Messianic Church! Which would have the Messianic miracles and wonders in your midst.

Remember, the greatest miracle is the revealing of the Word; that is the greatest miracle that a child of God can receive in this end time. With that miracle obtained in the body, in the spirit and in the soul of each elect: you will have the total healing, the total healthy body, upon obtaining the eternal and glorified body. See how that is the greatest miracle?

Because, what good is it for a person to be healed if he doesn’t have that miracle in his life first and foremost? He may be healed, but he wouldn’t obtain that total healing.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[43\] Sure, because it’s the Messianic Church. It is the Church of the Messiah* </span></span>(\[JBP\] it is the Church of the Messiah, it is the Church of the Anointed One)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*. Amen. Brrrrr! That makes me feel as good as that fellow did a while ago. Yes, sir. A Messianic Church with a Messianic power, with Messianic signs (Amen. There you are.) There’s where you have fellowship. Oh, there’s nothing like it. It’s perfect.*</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother Branham continues to say in this other message <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE”**</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span> <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[P. 63\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*493 The dead forms went on till they got to Pentecost, then begin to rumor around, that, “He was.”*</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And our brother William continues to say, in the message <span style="color: #c00000;">**“THE FOURTH GENERATION”**</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] For this restoration of the Church, to how It was in the beginning, and to be restored to physical eternal life, It requires those four stages, which are: a Lutheran generation, which is already in the past, it is history already; a Wesleyan generation, which is also history; and a Pentecostal generation, which is also history already; and now the fourth generation, the generation of the Word, the generation of the Son of Man, the generation of the Age of the Cornerstone.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">In that generation, in that stage of the Church (which represents eternity), all the sons and daughters of God written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world, which would form the Church </span></span><span class="blue">\[of the Lord\]</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">of</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Jesus Christ, will enter the promised land of the glorified and eternal body, and will enter the Kingdom of Christ, which will be established on Earth and will be the glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In this same message: <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE,”**</span> preached by Reverend William Branham; on page 42, he tells us there:

One took Its fruit; one took Its bark…or took Its leaves; one took Its bark; one took the Life. Is that right? \[“Amen.”\] Four messengers of dogmas killed the Tree, all but the roots.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*505 And if four messengers of death killed the Tree, four messengers of Life restores the Tree.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now, remember that when brother Branham saw the Tent Vision, he saw that everything was softly and quietly; and not the way it was in the activities, the way it was with Reverend William Branham and also different evangelists.

The Pentecostal way was that hollering, and in the music, and leaves clapping, and a lot of clapping with the songs; all of that (“leaves, clap their hands,” which is clapping with one’s hands), that belonged to the seventh age.

Now, that’s why he says: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>leaves = to clap</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span>, he writes there.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And look, on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 25</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 211</span>, brother Branham says<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[58-1001 - “Lifting Him Up Out Of History,” pp. 1-2, paras. 4-5, 8-9\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Study “The time of Redemption ended, says the Mighty Angel of Revelation 10:1-11,” 12/Nov/2022 (Saturday), pp. 37, 39-40 / Bible Study #345, 24-2/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 19-20, 28-31 / Bible Study #387, 18-2/Feb/2024 (Sunday), pp. 56-59\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*211 - “4 And it’s been told me, some time ago, by a vision that the Lord gave me, some year ago, I suppose, or maybe a little more. I have it wrote out in a book at home, of a changing of a ministry. (...)”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] In other words, from the fourth Elijah to the fifth Elijah.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*211 - “5 And then some time ago, I was in a vision and I saw a—a large tent. Oh, it was a mammoth, big affair.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] For those who perhaps don’t know, or perhaps the information hasn’t reached them: that Tent is already standing, that Tent is in Cayey, Puerto Rico. And that Tent, and in that Tent, God is carrying out the Work relevant to the Third Pull; and that Third Pull is the Word.

He went there to one of the activities, to one in particular. When he arrived over there, this activity had already passed.

In other words, we are on the way to that activity that he saw. We are in the process, we are in the infancy of that ministry, which is already growing from faith to faith, from knowledge to knowledge, until it reaches its fullness.

And that activity is part of that Third Pull. You are part of the Third Pull! You belong to the Third Pull!, because you are genes, attributes of God the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.

Now, he says:

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*211 - “\[5\] And I had just been speaking* </span></span>(\[JBP\] remember that brother Branham was being reflected there)\*<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*, and many souls were at the altar, and were just kind of weeping with their hands up, quietly and softly.”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] It was the atmosphere of that still small Voice.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice how here he is describing these four stages, where he says in the fourth <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE”**</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

That pyramid will stand again. The House of God will live again. The Tree of Life is growing again.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] And there he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The Tree of Life</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span>, on the right.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**“THE FOURTH GENERATION”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] (…) Israel has also been going through different stages or generations. In the fourth generation or fourth stage of the program of restoration, Israel will go into the Kingdom of the Messiah, the kingdom of peace, love, happiness, prosperity, life and joy with God. Israel will enter that fourth stage or fourth generation.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In a writing in a notebook, he puts there: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>In the four stages of the restoration of Israel there are men, a leader</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

We saw it in the first three stages: Luther, Wesley and Reverend William Branham.

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>… a man for every stage of this restoration</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

(And he writes there):

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>1st stage = An earthquake. Every bone joining together with what corresponds</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[JBP\] Our brother Miguel mentioned something about those stages to us just now; and look, I had not talked to him about this. It has already happened to me several times, where he touches on a quote or something that I was going to talk about.

That’s in First Kings, chapter 19, from 8 to - and on, where it tells us that first it was a wind, but the Lord was not in the wind; then an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; then in the fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and then a still small voice: there He was, there was that Voice, there was YHWH.

And it continues to say:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>2nd stage =</u>*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>3rd stage =</u>*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>4th stage = The entrance of the Holy Spirit into the body, nation of Israel, comes in a man made flesh.

\[JBP\] How does the Spirit return there to those dry bones of Ezekiel, chapter 37, verse 1 and on? Through a prophet, through a veil of flesh, in which the Holy Spirit would come back into Israel again.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message <span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS,”**</span> it tells us there, on page 46, Reverend William Branham tells us… 46 at the bottom:

He said, at…“The Great Trumpet would sound. The Great Trumpet!” Not Trumpets now, feast of trumpets; there is two of them, Moses and Elias, to call the Trumpet. But, under “the Great Trumpet,” the Coming of the Lord, to announce Joseph returning, see, that all nations would assemble at Jerusalem.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Above he writes: <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Announces </u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Jose</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u> in His Coming, Christ \[Jesus\]</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And on page 48 it tells us <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">**“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS”**</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\]</span>:

<span class="blue">\[Bible Study #442, 30-2/Aug/2024 (Friday), p. 59 </span><span class="blue">(PARA. 290)</span><span class="blue">\]</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[290\] Notice, watch here, the ministry will be Moses and Elijah, changing and calling Israel from the Jewish traditions, listen, from the Jewish traditions that they had been mixed up in. Being prophets, they’ll believe—they’ll believe him, calling them to the feast of the Atonement, Christ, letting them recognize Christ.*</span></span>

\[JBP\] That’s in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">***Quotations***</span>, on <span style="color: #7030a0;">page 130</span>, <span style="color: #7030a0;">paragraph 1153</span>; that excerpt is there, for those who wish to have it there and to also see what he wrote to us there. 1153, of page 130, it tells us… (yes, it’s the same one):

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[64-0719M - “The Feast Of The Trumpets,” p. 38, para. 290\] </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Bible Study #245, 9/Oct/2022 (Sunday), p. 12 / Study “The Jewish Age,” 2/Sep/2023 (Saturday), p. 54\]</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*1153 - “\[290\] They’ll say, ‘He is coming. He’ll be here.’ The Jews will be gathering, things like that.*</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*And then when He comes, say, ‘Here I am.’”*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now notice, he writes there:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>They call Israel from the Jewish tradition to the Feast of Atonement, Moses and Elijah</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[JBP\] There is another place where he says that<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[WMB\] the Seventh Seal will be before you</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span>; because the Seventh Seal, notice, in Its fulfillment is the Coming of the Lord. As was the Seventh Seal was in the First Coming of the Lord: It was in the veil of flesh called Jesus. And the Seventh Seal in His Second Coming is in a veil of flesh as well.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, he continues to say, in this other message titled <span style="color: #c00000;">“KNOWING THE TIME BY THE SIGNS,”</span> preached on December 30, 2007, he tells us:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**KNOWING THE TIME BY THE SIGNS** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Sunday, December 30, 2007* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">We await great blessings from God and each year that begins, we await the Coming of the Lord, the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive; and the catching away or rapture to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, he tells us there, that we are waiting for the Coming of the Lord. And in this message <span style="color: #c00000;">**“THE VOICE THAT WILL SHAKE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,”**</span> he tells us on page 39, which was preached on May 4, 2005:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] (…) \[P. 38\] Christ is still in Heaven, on His Throne of Intercession; the Second Coming of Christ has not taken place yet…</span></span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] In other words, notice that the Good Tidings gave us the news, gave us the things that were being carried out both in Heaven as well as on Earth; and it placed the elect in the position for them to see where they were. That mystery of that Angel in the midst of the Church opened more and more.</span>

<span class="blue">Now, notice that he told us there:</span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] … the Second Coming of Christ has not taken place yet; the Coming of the Mighty Angel has not taken place yet; because Christ is still on the Father’s Throne making intercession with His Blood.</span></span>

\[JBP\] He spoke that in 2005. Now, today He is already outside the Throne of intercession, He already took the Title Deed; Revelation 10 has already been fulfilled; He has already come down with that Book, He has already given It to a man, and that man has already eaten It; and the Second Coming of the Lord is already in the midst of the Church, carrying out the Works relevant to the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he continues to say in this same message <span style="color: #c00000;">**“KNOWING THE TIME BY THE SIGNS”**</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] (…) And now, through the signs in Heaven and on Earth, we must be looking and waiting to see what is left to be fulfilled and seen according to the Divine Program. The signs in Heaven and </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">on</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Earth have been seen. The Jews are already in their land, at least the ones that belong to the southern kingdom or kingdom of Judah; although there are also many of the other tribes there, in the land of Israel.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And now, we have the promise that 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 from each tribe, will be called and sealed with the Seal of the living God, under the ministry of the two Olive Trees, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Something great is going to take place with the Hebrew people, for the Spirit of God to return to the Hebrew people, to return to the land of Israel as well.</span></span>

\[JBP\] He writes on a message… or on a little piece of paper:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>3 stages have already been fulfilled; and the 4th stage is left, where the Holy Spirit returns to Israel as a people</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;">.</span>

\[JBP\] And we saw how It returns: by a prophet.

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now he continues to say <span style="color: #c00000;">\[</span><span style="color: #c00000;">**“KNOWING THE TIME BY THE SIGNS”**</span><span style="color: #c00000;">\]</span>:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] And thus, what were the dry bones, will receive the Spirit of God, because they are already a mighty army, but they still need the Spirit, the Spirit of God, which is the One that gives them life as a nation; </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">the One</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> that gives them life and the One that will place them in His Kingdom, the Kingdom of David. </span></span><span class="blue">\[And\]</span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> The only hope for Israel —for peace— and for </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">all</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> mankind, is in the Kingdom of the Messiah being established in the Land with Israel, and from there comes peace for Israel and for all nations.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Therefore, the only hope for permanent peace is in the Coming of the Messiah and the establishment of His Kingdom.</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The signs </span></span><span class="blue">\[are already being\]</span> <span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">have already been</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> seen in Heaven, and more signs continue to appear still, and on Earth the relevant signs have also been seen; and God still continues to give more signs.</span></span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] Now, do you know something? That the sign that the Church would physically have would also be The Great Tent cathedral; as a physical sign, that would be a tangible sign that we are in the time of the fulfillment of all those prophecies.</span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">\[WSS\] The Jews are looking for the Messiah, and perhaps they are expecting him sooner than Christianity. We need to be looking to Israel, because Israel is God's clock; and on God's clock it is later than many people think.</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in this message <span style="color: #c00000;">“FAITH </span><span style="color: #c00000;">WITH</span> <span style="color: #c00000;">AS</span><span style="color: #c00000;"> A FOUNDATION,” </span>it tells us…, which was perched on December 10, 2005, in Villahermosa, Mexico, it tells us:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**FAITH AS A FOUNDATION** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**(Ministers’ Meeting)** </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Dr. William Soto Santiago* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Saturday, December 10, 2005* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*(Second activity)* </span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico*</span></span>

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, at this end time, just as Jacob was between two camps, the Messenger of the Last Day will be as well </span></span><span class="blue">(\[JBP\] the messenger of the Last day would be between two camps)</span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, and therefore all the sons and daughters of God will be; because we have the heavenly camp of the Angels, and we have the earthly camp of human beings who are believers in Christ; and then we will also have the camp of the Hebrews, who will be greatly blessed, and we will be together with them in the Divine Program (the Hebrews who will receive the Word of the Lord).</span></span>

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in this writing, there our brother William puts both blind men that were given their sight.

And he writes:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Bartimaeus and another in Egypt</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

And he writes:

And he writes a Scripture there:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Matthew 9:27-3, 20:29-30</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

And he writes:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The 144,000 Hebrews who will recognize Him as Son of David, just as many have received Him in His 1st Coming as Lamb of God</u>*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*»*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span>

And now he continues with the second blind man; and he writes:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>The blind man = The gentiles today, Christianity.</u>*</span></span>

And he writes:

<span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*\[WSS\] «*</span></span><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">*<u>Luke 14:13</u>*</span></span>

\[JBP\] Now, we have seen, in these Scriptures, <span style="color: #c00000;">**“PASTORS WORKING IN HARMONY IN BOTH CAMPS, IN FAVOR OF THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID.”**</span>

We have seen which is the instrument, we have seen which are those camps; and we have seen how they are restored and how God in the fourth stage carries out the restoration for both the gentiles and the Hebrew people.

<span style="color: #c00000;">“**PASTORS WORKING IN HARMONY IN BOTH CAMPS, IN FAVOR OF THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF DAVID.”**</span>

It has truly been a great blessing and privilege to be here with the African people, and to be able to have this fellowship around the Word, in harmony with one another.

And I can tell you: that what you don’t understand now, you will understand later. Pray to God, ask God, and God will open your understanding and open the Scriptures to you.

Because what good is it that after I leave you start to talk if you don’t understand something? It’s best to keep quiet, and speak with God. Pray to God, so that He will open your understanding and open the Scriptures to you.

Because he said:<span style="color: #7030a0;"> \[WMB\] “The thing that you call fanatic or fanaticism, that very thing would condemn you in the end.”</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span>

So I desire the blessings, all the blessings, for you all! I desire that everything that is promised in the Scripture, be fulfilled in you; that all the promises be materialized in you; that is my desire.

May God bless you, may God keep you.

And let’s stand so that we can stretch a little bit, and we can have a song on this occasion; it can be “The Pillar of Fire,” if you have it there, which I - I heard it sung in the devotional. We can sing that song; and that way, we can thank God for everything He has given us on this occasion, and thus we can prepare ourselves to receive this subject that we already have prepared for this occasion.

**THE PILLAR OF FIRE**

1

The Pillar of Fire,

which spoke to Moses from that bush,

which went with Israel through the wilderness.

and parted Jordan for them towards freedom…

2

The Pillar of Fire,

<span class="blue">(\[JBP\] Yes, Lord)</span>

which was with Joshua before His people,

the one who fought and overcame with his great strength,

and took them to the land of milk and honey…

CHORUS

The Pillar of Fire,

which was in the prophets and in Jesus,

which was in His Archangel Messenger:

He’s here today! He’s still here today!

The Pillar of Fire,

<span class="blue">(\[JBP\] Yes, Lord) </span>

is speaking to us today through His instrument,

He is preparing us for our adoption.

He is God Himself, the Great I AM!

<span class="blue">(\[JBP\] Yes, Lord. Thy Name be praised. May the glory and honor be Yours. Glorify Yourself in the midst of Your people, these people who love You; receive all praise).</span>

3

The Pillar of Fire,

which will fill this great Temple with Glory,

the one that will perform miracles and wonders,

is becoming incarnate in our lives today.

2 and CHORUS (2 times)

\[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Amen. I brought *this* book with me on this trip, which was a summary of our brother Branham’s visit to South Africa. And there is a place where he tells us..., after reading the Scripture of Luke, chapter 2, verse 25, where it speaks about Simeon; and he narrates that Scripture to us, everything that happened there with the presentation of Jesus. And after reading this Scripture, brother Branham says \[**“William Branham, A Prophet, Visits South Africa,”** pp. 53-55\]:

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[“William Branham, A Prophet, Visits South Africa,” by Julius Stadsklev, chapter 4: “A Typical Service,” pp. 53-55\]</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«I want to speak just a few moments on expectations. Usually you get what you expect </span></span>(\[JBP\] in other words, if you came here seeking blessings —that is the expectation—, then you will take blessings with you. But look)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Now if you went to a meeting just to criticize, Satan will certainly show you something to criticize. If you come to get blessed, God will see that you get blessed, for whatever you are expecting you will receive.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Let me give you an example of what I mean. My mother once sent me to a party and told me that I would meet her sister. She described her to me, saying that she was small, rather sharp featured, had a high forehead, and combed her hair back, and twisted it in the back. I went to look for her. I had some kind of a conception of what she would look like.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, if you are coming for Divine healing, you must have some conception as to what God is. Do you believe that? Now, God is a Spirit, but you can watch the way He moves. Jesus said that He would send back the Holy Spirit and He would testify of Christ, and bring these things to our remembrance which Jesus had said. He also would show us things to come. He said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” He also said that He could do nothing until the Father showed Him, and then when the Father showed Him a vision, He did that. Now, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Then we ought to have the same kind of manifestations in our meetings as Jesus had in His day.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Many times you have heard people say, “Seeing is believing.” You've heard that expression. I will prove to you that that is only partially correct. Right here I see a man standing by me with a dark suit on. He has a white tie with red dots on it </span></span>(\[JBP\] Let’s say he was speaking with someone who was there, and he is describing him)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. How many believe that’s true? Sure, you can see him; you know that he is here. Now I'll turn and look the other way. I don’t see that man but he is here anyhow. How do I know? Because I have another sense. There are five senses in the human body–see, taste, feel, smell and hear. They are separate, one from the other. First I knew he was here by the sense of sight. Turning away I cannot see him, but I know he is here because I have my hand on him and can feel him </span></span>(\[JBP\] in other words, he had him close; he turned but he could still touch him)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Now my sense of sight is inactive, but my sense of feeling is active. Turning back to him again and removing my hand from him, feeling will not declare him, but sight will </span></span>(\[JBP\] meaning, he removes his hand from him, and looks at him, then the sense of sight is active; not touch)<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. You have another sense. Listen, I hear music. How many think I am right? Did you see it? Did you feel it? Did you smell it? Did you taste it?»</span></span>

\[JBP\] Listen…, there is the sense of hearing; you can listen to it, but you can’t touch it, you can’t see it, you can’t taste it.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«No. But you have a sense of hearing. Now, seeing is not believing. In that case hearing is believing. Now, there are five senses.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">God made man in His own image--a spirit man. Then He put in him five senses in order for him to contact his earthly sphere. They have nothing to do with God. The five senses were given to contact the earthly sphere. But the soul of man, the spirit, has a sense too, which is faith. Through faith man contacts his Maker. The five senses have nothing to do with it. They touch the earthly sphere but your spirit touches the heavenly sphere. So the sense of feeling, like my touching this man, is real to the body. Sight is real to the body. It is a reality. But faith is more of a reality to your soul. Now listen, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things you do not see, taste, feel, smell or hear. Yet it is just as real, more real than any of the other five senses.</span></span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What if nobody had ever seen in his life and suddenly someone received eyes and could see. We would think that person was crazy when he said that he could see things and objects and bright sunshine, etc. If we only had four senses, we would think that person was mad. But to him it is real.»</span></span>

\[JBP\] That’s how it is when we are… that’s how it is when we are in the Most Holy Place. For those who are there, what is happening is something real, it is something that our faith can see. Whoever is not there may think *“those people are mad,”* or he may think: *“No, that can’t be.”*

Now, with that sense, you can see, you can hear, what God is fulfilling at this time.

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«So it is with faith. Would you say that shirt is white? How many believe that shirt is white? That shows you can see. Now, if your faith says you are going to be healed, and is just as real to you as your sight which says that shirt is white, you are healed. Faith declares it. It is prefect.»</span></span>

\[JBP\] If the faith that you have tells you that you will be healed —physical healing or spiritual healing— it will be possible, because faith says so, that you would be healed.

Look, a case of a sister, who was from here in Africa…; because I was reading three pages ahead (what I read to you). And a sister from Barranquilla, Colombia (Is it Barranquilla? From the place where brother Emilio Arias departed, a week ago); I didn’t remember the sister, her case.

And she knew that I came to Africa, and she had this book. That was last night - yesterday… yesterday or Friday night (since the time is different here, there is a six-hour difference). And she writes to me that…: *“I knew you were* (here),*”* and she had this book in her hands, and she saw the case of sister Florence Nightingale. And she says to me: *“Look, brother Jose, do you remember when I asked you to pray for me because of an operation I was going to have?”* She was in very critical health. And she identified with this sister; who, look, he says… this brother is narrating \[**“William Branham, A Prophet, Visits South Africa,”** pp. 48-50\].

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[“William Branham, A Prophet, Visits South Africa,” by Julius Stadsklev, chapter 3: “Why Did William Branham Visit South Africa?” pp. 48-50\]</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«Daily there comes to the home of William Branham countless numbers of prayer requests.»</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] I have already received more than 10,000 prayer requests, not including those by text or by other means; and I was at 8,886 last night, from email alone; and I have answered all of them. I try not to let them add up, and I try to make time to answer them.</span>

<span class="blue">Perhaps in brother Branham’s time it was slower: they sent him letters, and in the time that he wrote back… Now, thank God for technology, and we can answer the petitions more quickly.</span>

<span class="blue">And this sister had written to me, and they passed on the petition to me; but she - it was through a sister in Puerto Rico. And Sara, my wife, forwarded the petition to me. And I sent her an audio, seeing the critical condition that she was in; she was already (let’s say) she was already sent home as a terminal patient. And I sent her an audio, they wrote it down, and she held on to that Word.</span>

<span class="blue">Now, I’m going to read here so that later… I’m going to show you, if we have some time; we were going to… we were going to have the subject already, but… it says… look, here he says:</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«Daily there comes to the home of William Branham countless numbers of prayer requests. Many of these are accompanied by airplane tickets requesting him to come to pray for the sick </span><span class="blue">(\[JBP\] in other words, they would send him the letter, and also the ticket:</span> “*Well, I’ll pay for your ticket so you can come”*<span class="blue">)</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. It was one of these requests that caused Brother Branham to make it a definite matter of prayer pertaining to his trip to South Africa. He had considered South Africa before, but the Lord had always directed him to go elsewhere. This year he had thought of Australia and Japan, but the Lord definitely led him to Africa.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">During the month of January, 1950, Brother Branham and Brother F.F. Bosworth were conducting meetings in Houston, Texas. On the same evening that the photograph was taken of Brother Branham, which registered the halo above his head, Brother Bosworth showed Brother Branham a lady’s picture. It had accompanied a letter and airplane ticket from Florence Nightingale of Durban, South Africa, a distant relative of the Florence Nightingale who founded the Red Cross.»</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] They sent… they sent that picture to brother Branham (I’m not sure if you have it there, I sent it to you) </span>\[The photo of sister Florence Nightingale is displayed on the screen: on the left it shows her condition when she was ill, and on the right it shows her once she was healed –Ed.\]<span class="blue">.</span> <span class="blue">That is the picture of when she was sick and then when she was healed, now that was the picture that he received, the picture on the left side.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«She was a mere skeleton and reminded them of Georgia Carter, a young lady from Milltown, Indiana, who was in a similar condition before she received her healing. For nearly nine years she had been on her back with tuberculosis and weighed hardly forty pounds at the time Brother Branham prayed for her.»</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] That’s one case there was.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«This Florence nightingale of Durban suffered from cancer at the entrance of the stomach which causes one to die of starvation </span><span class="blue">(\[JBP\] and the cause of this other case, that I am going to mention to you, is also related to the stomach)</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. She weighed only about fifty pounds. She had been fed through the veins on glucose until that was no longer possible</span> <span class="blue">(\[JBP\] this sister from Colombia was also being fed like that. Later on, it’s good to prepare that documentary of that case)</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. Hearing of Brother Branham, she cried for him to come and pray for her. Thus she wrote for him to come, sending along her picture and plane ticket.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">That night in Houston they prayed for Florence Nightingale</span> <span class="blue">(\[JBP\] that is, when he received the letter, they prayed for her)</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">, promising God that if He would heal her and make her completely well, they would take it as an indication from God that they should go to South Africa.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Eight weeks later the Branham party landed in England on their way to Finland</span> <span class="blue">(\[JBP\] in other words, they already had that… that trip, they already had that itinerary)</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. The King of England had sent a cable requesting Brother Branham to come and pray for him. When the Branham party stepped off the plane, William Branham’s name was called over the loud speaker. Florence Nightingale had arrived at the airport just fifteen minutes before…»</span>

<span class="blue">\[JBP\] That is, she had flown from South Africa to that place there. So, it was known that he was going to travel… Look, she paid for brother Branham’s ticket and sent it to him; brother Branham didn’t go there. She paid for her ticket to go to England then</span>: *“Well, if he won’t come to me, I’ll go to him.”*<span class="blue"> Look at the faith that that sister had.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">«… fifteen minutes before and those with her had put out this call for Brother Branham to come quickly because they thought she was dying. The place was so crowded that they were informed to get in touch with him at the Picadilly Hotel. This was done and arrangements were made for him to come to her hotel.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">It was one of those foggy days in April when they motored to the hotel where she was staying. No one in the party had ever seen a human being in such a pitiful condition as the woman in that room. She was so thin that the skin stuck to her bones. Their hearts were moved with compassion. Florence Nightingale could hardly speak as tears ran down her cheeks for she was suffering with such pain.</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">They all, including a minister of the Church of England as well as her nurses, knelt and began to pray for her. As they started to pray a dove came and sat on the window sill, looking inside as it started to coo. After prayer, when Brother Branham said, “Amen,” the dove flew away. The minister started to speak saying, “Did you see that dove?” Before he finished the question the Spirit of the Lord moved upon Brother Branham to speak these words– “Thus saith the Lord, you will live, sister.”</span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Eight months after Brother Branham had prayed for Florence Nightingale in England he received another picture from her</span> <span class="blue">(\[JBP\] which is the picture on the side)</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">. At this time she was a perfect picture of health and weighed 155 pounds. He had made his vow to God and was now convinced that he had to go to South Africa. God had called him to South Africa and now his desire was that he might be a blessing to the people he had been called to minister unto.»</span>

\[JBP\] Now look, this sister from Colombia, asked for prayer in June 2023; but there was something very peculiar about that petition. And you will then read those words that I sent to her. She held on to that Word, to the point that she made them a part of her; she went into the operating room…, because they were going to operate her those days.

And I don’t know if you have the picture there? \[The photo of the sister from Barranquilla is displayed on the screen: on the left it shows her condition when she was ill, and on the right it shows her condition upon being healed –Ed.\]

That’s how she was (she gave me permission to display the picture) in June 2023; and that picture now, the one on the right, is how she is today. She believed the Word of healing! And she had a stomach problem.

Now eleven months later…, notice the number 11 there. Remember, the eleventh hour. And He showed me that she was going to be healed.

That is why yesterday (when she wrote to me that she was here in Africa), she told me: *“Brother Jose, this is like what happened to that sister! I have been healed. I want my testimony to be heard, like the case was heard and read of this sister who was also healed by the spoken Word of a prophet.”* And a prophet spoke and she was healed.

Now, you have that power. There’s a place, in the book of <span style="color: #7030a0;">*Quotations*</span>, that says <span style="color: #7030a0;">\[WMB\] that faith can create worlds.</span><span style="color: #7030a0;">\*</span>

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**65-0822M**</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - “Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word,” pp. 15-16, para. 67\]</span></span></span>

Now, do you know why many times one is moved when one sees and hears testimonies like that? Because when the person is in that moment: where they just want to live!, and they have the possibility to hold on to something…!

Notice, she sent him a ticket, brother Branham did not come; she bought her ticket: *“I’m going to where he is”*; there was something inside her that made her move anywhere: that desire to live.

And in that prayer, I told her: “You are going to live, and you are going to continue being a great blessing for the Work.” And God heard me, and that sister is on her feet there, working in the Work of the Lord.

Many times He takes us to the limit so that we can see the glory of God, and to see if you truly love God both in good times and in bad times.

Now, don’t wait to get to that moment. Remember that woman who passed by the door of the Branham Tabernacle, and she said: <span style="color: #7030a0;">*“If my cow received or went in there…”*</span> or <span style="color: #7030a0;">*“I wouldn’t let my cow get into that kind of religion like that”*</span>; not long after that, she was crying for the prophet; and it says that the cries of that woman could be heard from far away, crying for brother Branham.

When they brought brother Branham outside, because they told him that there was a person who was already in their last moments about to die; and when he went, she had already died, she had already departed. We have already told that story several times.\*

<span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The Seventh Weeks Of Daniel*</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - 61-0730E - “The Sixfold Purpose Of Gabriel’s Visit To Daniel,” pp. 70-71, paras. 147-148 / </span></span></span><span class="blue"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), pp. 46-47 / Bible Study #351, 15-2/Oct/2023 (Sunday), pp. 29-30</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\]</span></span></span>

Therefore, this end time is the time in which the Holy Spirit is in the midst of the people. And as it was at the First Coming of the Lord, when He said: “Blasphemy against the Son of Man is forgiven; but when the Holy Spirit comes and is incarnate in the midst of the people, it will not be forgiven unto him, neither in this world or in the age to come.” <span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10\]</span></span>

This is a very delicate time. God is not playing.

But for the elect, we have the promise that He will be touched by our faith and with our faith.

She said, the one who touched the hem of His garment: “If I could just touch the hem I would be healed.” <span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:24-34, Luke 8:43-48\]</span></span> She touched the hem and she was healed. Notice the faith of that woman with the blood issue.

Therefore, you already saw how to touch the Lord, with that “something” that He gave: Faith. Back then she touched the hem: she used her touch. Today you have all the senses combined in faith.

So, ask God, whether for yourself or for a family member, intercede for him, join your faith together with his; increase… the Lord will increase your faith and his, and you will see the Glory of God manifested there.

In this place: may whoever desires spiritual healing and physical healing: may you receive it. Keep believing with all your heart, and you will obtain what you are asking for.

God is about to fulfill what He promised, in due time, but it’s not far off; and that’s when the mouths of the critics will be shut —our brother Branham said it—\*, and they will realize that what we were speaking was THUS SAITH THE LORD. Don’t wait until the last moment.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\*</span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">\[</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">**60-0313**</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - “Hear Ye Him,” p. 14, para. 38\]</span></span></span>

God bless you all, my brethren. And minister brethren of brother Branham’s group: take these Good Tidings to your congregations as well; and we will see each other soon, where I wish to have more activities with you here in Africa.

May God bless you, and all the brethren, fellow ministers, and brothers and sisters from different places, who have moved, many spent 8 days or 5 days on the road, and they have been here to share these moments of fellowship.

And a sister who came, who wrote a song… is it her? She came with a baby… Ah, it’s someone else (and she came…?), another one who came with - from far away (huh?) from Burundi. She came from where? From Uganda. How long did she take to come? 5 hours (aha). It’s a beautiful song, she composed it? \[The sister nods her head –Ed.\] Notice how the love, as Miguel says… if you want to sing it, you can sing it. I don’t know if she can sing it in that language…, because perhaps many people don’t understand it: she can sing it in their language. You can sing it in your language.

Oh… (Huh?) Now in Spanish. Oh, she has it in Spanish. Later, you can send it… (huh?) she composed it in Spanish (aha). Later, you can translate it to the language here.
