Perez*\] Good afternoon to all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite. Today, Friday, January 17th of this year 2025, our subject is: **THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION** **(Ministers’ Meeting)** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Wednesday, October 1, 2008* *Bogota, Colombia* **Scripture:** **1 Corinthians 15:45-54** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And the Scripture there, that we have on this occasion, the one that he used there: of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 45 and on (and let’s search in our Bibles there); let’s start on verse 44 of chapter 15; it tells us: **1 Corinthians 15:44** *44 It is sown a natural body* (\[JBP\] here, in this Bible, he writes on top): *\[WSS\] «**it was inherited from the serpent**»* (\[JBP\] there he draws a Star of David on the left)*; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.* *45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening* ***spirit****.* \[JBP\] In “spirit” he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Theophany**»*. *46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.* \[JBP\] He draws a Star of David on the left. *47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.* *48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.* *49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.* *50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.* *51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,* *52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.* \[JBP\] Here, in this Bible, he draws at the top, in the margin, a Cornerstone and the ages. The last two ages there, he draws them an eye on each one, and an eye in the Cornerstone as well. “In the twinkling of an eye,” there it shows us that it is through a prophet. There are other drawings where in the Cornerstone he draws two eyes, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah, those two ministries; but in this case, he drew one eye, because there he is showing that it is through a veil of flesh, through a prophet; which is is achieved from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation. *53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.* *54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.* **THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message “THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION,” which was preached on Friday, September 18, 2009, in Veracruz, Mexico, our brother William tells us: **THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Friday, September 18, 2009* *Veracruz, Mexico* “At the Last Trump.” There is a divine order here for the adoption of all the children of God. It’s not a matter of the person saying: “I am a believer in Christ and I don’t have to know anything about that Program of Adoption in order to be adopted.” There is a Program of Adoption, and therefore, according to that Program, the adoption will come for those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And those who will be adopted are the ones who will know that Program, that divine order; the rest don’t need to know about it if they’re not going to be transformed… \[JBP\] Now notice, that’s why some believe and others don’t. It’s he who believes, and it’s for he who believes, that those requirements are shown, made known; it’s for them, for those who are going to be transformed. For the rest: that order, those steps, those requirements for the transformation, will not matter; because since they aren’t going to be transformed, well, it doesn’t concern them. Instead, some, if they allow themselves to be used by the enemy, become instruments, or are used by the wicked one as instruments to fight against, to attack God’s Program that He is carrying out at this end time; the Program for each elect of God to obtain the requirements, the steps, to obtain the eternal and glorified body, that is, the Rapturing Faith. Whoever will not be transformed, well, he doesn’t need to receive the Rapturing Faith. As simple as that. And that is how the elect of God can identify at this time: who will be transformed and who won’t be transformed. Dr. William Soto goes on to say: \[WSS\] … but those who will be transformed will know it, they will believe it and obtain the faith to be transformed. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice how it was in Noah’s time; which here in the message **“A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED,”** there it shows us that Noah carried out the preparations: at that time it was to build an ark. Look, on page 11 of this message, of this version, Reverend William Branham tells us: \[61-1112 - “A True Sign That’s Overlooked,” pp. 9-10, paras. 48-52\] *48 Noah was a sign in his day, to the people, of the coming judgment. Noah in his day was considered a fanatic. He was a prophet. He was considered one that did not have good mind. And the man hammered away, for year after year, building an ark, when there’s not even water on the earth but what was in the springs. And he predicted something that was ridiculous, to the carnal mind. He said, “There’s coming water from up in the sky.”* *49 No doubt, that many would say to him, “Show me where it’s at.”* \[JBP\] It seems like that also…, notice, not only in the time of Noah, but in all times, the unbelievers and make-believers, the time also comes when they rise against and start to question: *“Let’s see, show me this, show me that. Where is that?”* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, more so at this time, when the Thunders, notice, John was forbidden to write it; because the Thunders contain the Rapturing Faith, the Thunders contain the Coming of the Lord: how It would be, when It would be and how He would come; that is, all the details. But John was forbidden to write it, and he was told… Let’s see that little part there, where John was told: “Don’t write It, let it pass; because otherwise, they’ll stagger over that.” Look, that is - notice, that is on page 117 \[p. 136 in Eng. (First Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***: \[166\] See? Oh, my! But, think now, he wrote This. 167 But when he started to write those other, Seven Thunders, He said, “Don’t write It.” He had been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these Seven Thunders, over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, “Don’t write Them, at all.” They are mysteries. We don’t know what they are yet. But, my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church to move out (\[JBP\] Who is it for? It’s for the Bride; not for anyone else). See? 168 We’ve just moved through everything that we know of, through all the dispensations. We’ve watched everything. We seen the mysteries of God. We seen the appearing of the—of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days. \[JBP\] There on top of that paragraph, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Thunders: Faith for Rapture**»* (in this book). And in this other one…, let’s see here…, 117; there on top of that paragraph he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 7 Thunders and the Rapturing Faith**»*. And also in this one, in the red one, on the left side he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Thunders**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Faith**»*. \[168\] But, yet, there is something in There that we just can’t lighten ourself with. There is something other. 169 But I imagine, when them mysteries begins to come forth (\[JBP\] that is, when all of that begins to be fulfilled), God said, “Hold It back now. Wait a minute. I’ll reveal It in that day. Don’t write It, at all, John, ’cause they’ll stagger over It. \[JBP\] And always, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, the part that people stagger on is with the veil of flesh, with the fulfillment of the prophecy. \[169\] Just—just let it go, see. **But I’ll reveal It in that day** (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**8th Day**»* **when it has need to be done**.” 170 They never uttered for nothing. Remember, like the little drop of ink, everything is for a purpose. Everything is for a cause. But, notice, the Creator uttered. And he—he heard this Voice, and he went to see. 171 But now the Lamb is showing John, in the symbol of…of a—of a church scripture, like, for the church to know. What to write, He just show him. Said, “Now, don’t—don’t tell this, just what it is. Don’t go down, John, and say, ‘Now, this is just what this is, of what’s under this Seventh Seal.’…” \[JBP\] See? What is under the Seventh Seal? It’s the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. And there John, if he had started writing it, he could have even written the name of the instrument in whom He would be fulfilling the Coming, His Coming. \[171\] “…Don’t, don’t go down and tell that. For, if I tell John that, then all down through the age, the whole plan will be broke. It’s a secret.” See? He just wants…His Coming! He said, now, “And nobody is going to know when I’m coming. I’m just coming.” See? See? That’s all. It ain’t for my business to know when. I’ll just be ready… \[JBP\] And how would the Church-Bride be ready? Well by seeing and receiving and hearing those requirements to obtain that Rapturing Faith, and to be able to receive Him and to be able to believe in Him. Now, he goes on to say here… Here in the other book, on page 117, is where he draws a Cornerstone, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «**7th Seal**»* on the right, there in that last paragraph we read. And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Future**»*. In the previous paragraph, where it says: “I’ll reveal It in that day when it has need to be done,” on the left a Cornerstone. And on the right: *\[WSS\] «**Need to be known**»*. \[JBP\] This is the time when the Church-Bride has that need; and God is fulfilling to each one of His children, He is fulfilling that need for them; meaning, He is making known to them what John was forbidden to write; He is revealing… what He said to John: “I will reveal it in that day,” this is that day!: the Eight Day, the Age of the Cornerstone. That mystery is being made known today! \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, it goes on to say here, on page 12, in the message **“A TRUE SIGN THAT'S OVERLOOKED”** (which we were reading a few minutes ago), it says: *50 And while there was yet no water in sight…* \[JBP\] Let’s look at the previous paragraph, because we stopped where it says… let’s look: *49 No doubt, that many would say to him, “Show me where it’s at”* (\[JBP\] that’s where we left off)*. The science would say, “I can prove there’s no water up there.” The science would say, “I can prove there’s no water up there.”* *But, yet, if God told him that it was coming from the skies, God will see to it that His Word is fulfilled.* *50 And while there was yet no water in sight, while there had never been a cloud in the skies, never had rained a drop, there never, wasn’t such a thing as rain, yet, all the time, Noah was preparing an ark for the rain. It was a living evidence that this prophet believed what he was talking about, for he was making ready for it.* *51 And any persons that really believe what you’re talking about, you’ll make ready for it.* \[JBP\] And he writes in a Bible study, in that portion, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The evidence of believing: to make yourself ready to receive what God has promised**».* *52 May I stop right here, just a minute. “On the day of Noah,” as Jesus said, “so will it be in the coming of the Son of man.” If the churches, today, believe what they’re talking about, they would practice what they say.* \[JBP\] Now, a bit further on, in this same message, page 13 \[**“A TRUE SIGN THAT'S OVERLOOKED”**\]: \[61-1112 - “A True Sign That’s Overlooked,” p. 11, paras. 58-61\] *58 But, Noah, a neurotic, considered in that day, through the foolishness of preaching, and performing a sign before the people, giving them warning, condemned the world. “Condemned the world, by building an ark,” when there was no water for it to float in. “He condemned the world,” the Bible said, Hebrews, 11th chapter. “He condemned the world and saved his own house, by preparing,” and being a sign for God, of the oncoming judgments of that day. What a glorious thing!* *59 Later years, there come another sign. That was Moses, a prophet. That was God’s sign to Israel. They had been four hundred years in bondage. And God prepared a sign for them, just before deliverance. And he was a sign of deliverance to Israel, and a sign of judgment to Egypt.* *60 Noah was a sign of deliverance to his people, and a sign of judgment to the lost world, the unbeliever. The very waters that choked the world and drowned the world was the only means of saving Noah.* *The only thing that could save him was the judgment. The only thing that’ll save the Church today is the judgment, God laying the judgment to the plummet.* *But Noah preached the same. He become a sign.* *61 And now Israel, after four hundred years, they begin to cry out for deliverance. And God never reveals Himself and shows Himself until His people are ready to receive what He shows.* \[JBP\] And on the left he draws a Star of David. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William goes on to say here, in the message **“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION,”** where we were reading: \[WSS\] Just as there is an order to receive salvation and eternal life, and to receive the Holy Spirit and obtain the new birth, and therefore obtain the spiritual adoption; and everything revolves around the First Coming of Christ, to receive the spiritual adoption and obtain eternal life in our soul. And now, “there is a mystery” Paul said; and if he said that it (what he is speaking about here) is a mystery, then it is. He says… he says that it will be at the Last Trumpet. Then some people think: “Well, there will - there will be an angel with a trumpet there, sounding that trumpet.” Look, that is more difficult than what it really means. An angel is a messenger and that Last Trumpet is the Voice of God, the Voice of Christ speaking on this Earth to His people, to His Church. \[JBP\] And a bit further on, in this same message, our brother William goes on to say: \[WSS\] (…) We have seen that the Gospel of the Kingdom is none other than God’s Last Message, the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, and that is the Message that the Hebrew people will hear; that is why the Hebrew people as a nation haven’t wanted to hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, they can’t believe; because the Message that they will hear is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, that is the Message that the Angel of Revelation, chapter 7, will come with, who comes to seal, to call and seal 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe: chapter 7, verse 1 and on; and in Revelation, chapter 14, verse 1 to 5, they already appear sealed in their foreheads with their Father’s Name, and with the Name of the Lamb in their foreheads, in other words, with the knowledge of the Name of God, the Father and the Name of Jesus Christ. That already appears in Revelation, chapter 14, verses 1 to 15. \[JBP\] And it’s not the name Jesus, because they were persecuted with the name of Jesus. And notice, under that name, and with that name of Redemption and for Redemption, He was not received there in the midst of the Hebrew people; but with the new name He will be. \[WSS\] Now, in Revelation we find that there is a prophetic message for all nations. That’s why when the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, which is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant with the little Book open in His hand, the Book that was sealed in Heaven with seven Seals, in Revelation, chapter 5…; and It is taken by Christ, the Lamb, which is also the Lion of the tribe of Judah; and He takes It once He already finishes His Work of Intercession and becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah. John knew Him as the Lamb of God, but the elder tells him that He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He is starting His Claiming Work, taking the Book to carry out His Claiming Work… \[JBP\] Now notice when that Claiming Work begins: When He rises up from the Throne and takes the Book; by standing up, that is already the sign of where that work begins; it begins progressively. Now, when He stands up from the Throne, remember that this is when that half hour of silence begins; which is happening now, in our midst, in our time; the half hour already started a while ago. \[WSS\] He is starting His Claiming Work, taking the Book to carry out His Claiming Work, claiming everything He has redeemed with His Blood: resurrecting the dead believers in Him into glorified bodies, and transforming the living. That is in the Claiming Work of Christ as Lion of the tribe of Judah; and all that is contained in the Gospel of the Kingdom. And now, He gives the Title Deed to a man in Revelation, chapter 10, for him to eat It, and then He says to him \[verse 11\]: “*Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”* \[JBP\] When does that happen? When He leaves the Throne of intercession. Therefore, He couldn’t leave from there until the last elect was redeemed, cast in the Bleach (meaning, the Blood), under that Work that He carried out on Calvary’s Cross two thousand years ago, in His First Coming, fulfilling the Work of Redemption for everyone who believes in Him. But notice that as long as all of that was being carried out, as long as the Door of the Dispensation of Grace was open, He was on the Throne making intercession. The Title had not been taken yet, and It had not been opened in Heaven; because that still laid in the future. Which, in the book of *The Seals* he speaks to us in several places, where he spoke everything as if it were happening, but he said: \[WMB\] “But this lies in the future.” \[*The Seals*, “The Breach…,” p. 106, para. 291\] Now notice, until 2018 that hadn’t taken place yet; but then that instrument, notice, said that time should be no more; that instrument, through whom God spoke at that time, and he was proclaiming that time was over, that is, the time of the Dispensation of Grace; because God works through His instruments, His veils of flesh, His prophets. \[WSS\] *“Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”* John the apostle represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ along with all the messengers that the Church of the Lord would have. At the Last Day, the Mighty Angel comes down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand; and that is the Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, It is the Book of Redemption, It is the Title Deed of eternal life; for which that Book must be opened in Heaven, be brought to Earth, in order to carry out the physical Work of Redemption, of the redemption of the physical body. \[JBP\] Because remember, without the Title Deed on Earth, the Claiming Work couldn’t be carried out, there could be no claim; in other words, every child of God, by receiving the Word, the revelation, the content, the Rapturing Faith, which is contained in that Book, that Title Deed, wouldn’t be able to claim the eternal, glorified body, nor the Earth, the universe, everything; because everything belongs to us. Therefore, the Title Deed has to be on Earth to carry out that work; and on Earth is where He carries out that Claiming Work. And that Title, notice, is made known on Earth. That is why he says that \[WMB\] the Thunders are given\*; meaning, they are sounded on Earth, not in Heaven; those Seven Thunders are uttered on Earth. \*\[Study “The Thunders = The Voices of the Seventh Seal,” 27/May/2023 (Saturday), pp. 8-9: 62-1230E - “Is This the Sign of The End, Sir?” pp. 39-40, para. 305-308, 314 - *\[WSS\] «**«The Voices of the Thunders were on the Earth = by prophet**».*\] \[Bible Study #443, 1-2/Sep/2024 (Sunday), pp. 56-59: 62-1230E - “Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir?” pp. 38-39, paras. 303-307 - *\[WSS\] «**The Thunders spoke on Earth (they would speak through human flesh)**».*\] \[WSS\] And now, notice, the Book is given to a man for him to eat It, and then He is told: “You must prophesy before many peoples, nations and tongues.” If the one who eats It is going to prophecy, what must he be? A prophet; and so he must come with a prophetic Message that will be making known all the things that will come to pass; and then it goes on to Revelation 11, which is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees. In Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, it says: “He shall send His Angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet, and They shall gather together His elect, from one end of Heaven to the other.” Those Angels are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews. Those ministries correspond to Moses and Elijah, to the ministry of the Two Olive Trees; and the call of the 144,000 (12,000 from each tribe) corresponds to the Two Olive Trees with the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Last Trumpet, the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 on. That is the Great Trumpet that Christ spoke of, It is the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Everlasting Gospel, the Message that the Hebrew people will hear and believe. When you see the Hebrew people and their leaders drawing near to some part of Christianity, remember, something is moving in the Divine Program. They are searching for a man, for a prophet, that is why they don’t receive preachers; because they were ordained by God to only believe a prophet: “The Lord your God will raise up unto you a prophet (Moses says) like unto me; unto him you shall hearken.” (Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 15 to 19). And further on it says: “The Lord, your God, shall raise up a prophet from among your brethren, and will put…” God says: “I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak all that I shall command him. And whosoever will not hear what he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him.” \[Deuteronomy 18:18-19\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, notice that the only one that the Hebrew people are going to receive is the prophet, a prophet; but notice that in the book of “THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,” there he tells us that they will be deceived by that false prophet. Let’s search here in the book of **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”** where it tells us…, on page… 124 (in the other version it’s 143; in this one it’s 124), he says: \[*The Seventy Weeks Of Daniel* - 61-0806 - “The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,” pp. 106-107, paras. 169-171\] 169 When the Church goes up… \[JBP\] Now, remember, when it goes up to where? To the Age of the Cornerstone. 169 When the Church goes up; then the confederation, the sleeping virgin, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and lukewarm Pentecost, all of them together with a confederation. Which, they’ve already got their big regime now. And when they do, they’ll make a covenant. And, well, now, this new pope that we got now wants to bring them all in. Can’t you see the thing heaping right up? Going to give a talk on it, and bring them all in, first time for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years; a thousand years, or two, it’s ever been done. But now he is to bring them all in, together, and make a confederation, and in there the Jews will accept it. \[JBP\] Whom? That movement; but notice that it is led by the pope, who is the antichrist, the beast, the man of sin, who deceives them. \[169\] Oh, my! Glory! (\[JBP\] There on the right, upward, he writes): *\[WSS\] «**The covenant between the beast and the Jews**».* Hallelujah! Praise be to our God Who lives forever and ever! There you are! Now, brother, it’s just as simple, as simple as a little kid could see it. The confederation of bringing Jewish, and Protestant, and Catholic, together. And, remember, what’s these two prophets going to do when they come? 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. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, there’s something very beautiful here, and very glorious. Because notice that all of that takes place before the great tribulation begins, because those Jews are sealed before the great tribulation begins; which, we see that there on page 359, where…, 358 at the bottom \[***The Seals***\] \[P. 412\]: 260 Now, Jacob, as he come up now (...), he got a longing to go (where?) back to the homeland. 261 Oh, that’s exactly what Israel has done! (...) He just had his name changed, you know. See? And he’s… 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. 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 (\[JBP\] now, remember that Esau is Rome) was coming after him. See? 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. \[JBP\] With whom? With Rome; and Rome, well, led by the antichrist, the man of sin, in other words, the pope. And he writes there on top: *\[WSS\] «**The covenant with Rome**»*. \[264\] Notice it. That Esau didn’t need his money; neither does Rome. She’s got the wealth of the world in her hand. \[JBP\] Now notice, that’s the one who comes in his own name; and him they will receive. But then…, where we paused, in “THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,” we are going to read there who is the one that tells them their mistake. Notice, let’s continue here in the book of ***The Seals***: 265 But we find out now, that Israel, in that time of trouble (\[JBP\] there he writes): *\[WSS\] «**by Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler**»*, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the…that got a hold of Something that was real. There was a Man come down. Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the—and the—the Fellow said, “I must be going now. It’s coming daylight.” Oh, that breaking-of-the-day *\[WSS\] «**7th Millennium**»* (\[JBP\] he writes there)! See? It was fixing to come day. \[JBP\] And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Day = the Millennium**».* And on the left he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 10:1-7**».* 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.” 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 (\[JBP\] See? And right now we are going to read what he says). Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there. 268 That’s just before the Tribulation period… \[JBP\] Therefore, we are seeing there that if that happens before the great tribulation, and there in “THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,” he is telling us that it’s at the end of the three and a half years… Now, those three and a half years beforehand, is where that covenant is taking place in that moment between the Hebrew people and Rome; which they break at the end. Now, all of that is unfolding, and it opens up more and more, as the prophecy is being fulfilled, as the fulfillment of each thing is made known as it is fulfilled. \[269\] … them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist. “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel!” Repent what? “Repent from your sins, your unbelief, and turn back to God!” \[JBP\] Notice, that’s where the Feast of Atonement comes in. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, notice, here it continues to tell us, where we paused, in **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL”** \[P. 106\]: \[170\] Now, people thinks that’s communism. That’s just ’cause you…The Spirit of God hasn’t dealt with you yet. It’s not communism; it’s religion. The Bible said, “It’d be so close till it’d deceive the very Elected if possible.” Jesus said so. See, we’re in the last. 171 Now, these two prophets, what will they do? It’s Moses and Elijah that will rise on the scene (\[JBP\] meaning, at that time, it says there). They’ll tell those Jews their mistake (\[JBP\] and he writes there on the left): *\[WSS\] «**the mistake of the Jews is joining the Confederation **of Churches**»*. 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? \[JBP\] Now, if “God will call by these prophets,” now, notice that in the book of *The Seals* he told us that this would take place before the great tribulation; so He has to have that instrument, that veil of flesh, in the midst of the Church-Bride, to carry out that Work in favor of the Hebrew people as well; because the Third Pull is for the Church-Bride, for the church, the foolish, and for the lost, and for the world (in other words, the 144,000 are included there). \[171\] What is it? The Spirit of Elijah (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the 5th Elijah**»*, off of this Gentile Church, will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call; Moses with him (\[JBP\] that is, the ministry of Moses, a dispensational ministry). Hallelujah! You see it? And he will preach the same message of pentecost, to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah. \[JBP\] Now, you can continue there. We’ve read that on other occasions\*. \*\[Bible Study #441, 25/Aug/2024 (Sunday), pp. 53-58 / Bible Study #473, 15/Dec/2024 (Sunday), pp. \_\_ / Bible Study #479, 5-2/Jan/2025 (Sunday), pp. \_\_\] And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The 50th Year of Jubilee: Message of Pentecost**».* And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Elijah and Moses**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s continue here, where we paused, in the message that we are reading: **“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION;”** it says: \[WSS\] That prophecy is partially fulfilled in every prophet that God has sent, but it is fully fulfilled in the Messiah in His First Coming and in His Second Coming. A prophet like Moses, a dispensational prophet, with a dispensational message; at the Last Day, It will be the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. And now, let’s turn to Revelation, chapter 14, verses 6 to 7 here, where we will see that messenger: “*And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth* (and if he is going to preach It (\[JBP\] brother William says) to them that dwell on the Earth, then he has to be on the Earth and he must be a prophet)*…”* \[JBP\] Now, notice how simple and how clear it is. But at the same time, notice, for the one who will not be transformed, he cannot understand this, he cannot comprehend it, and he thinks it’s another way, a different way; and they start adding the Message and interpreting It, and giving It their own interpretation of what brother Branham wanted to say and what Dr. William Soto Santiago wanted to say. But the elect will be seeing the fulfillment of that prophecy. Notice, They have to be seeing a prophet bringing that Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Which message? The platform that was brought to us, the foundation that was brought to us by His forerunner: Reverend William Branham; and also the Good Tidings, the news, that Dr. William Soto Santiago brought us. As simple as that. \[WSS\] *“...and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,* *Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”* He comes teaching to worship God, to serve God, teaching how to serve God, how to worship God, stimulating the people to seek God, and showing mankind that the hour of His judgment, of the divine judgment, has come; in other words, that messenger comes a bit before the great tribulation… \[JBP\] “A bit before,” notice, that messenger is supposed to be there. In other words, a living instrument who is in the midst of the Church-Bride. \[WSS\] … before the great tribulation begins with the Everlasting Gospel, which is the Gospel of the Kingdom. We have already seen that this messenger will be a prophet who will come prophesying before many nations, people and tongues; just as Moses did: prophesying the things that would happen in Egypt, and just as Elijah prophesied as well. And now, at this end time, this messenger who will come will have the Final Message of God, the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet. In the time when he is giving His Message, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him and will transform the living believers in Christ… \[JBP\] Now notice, in the time of the angel messengers of the ages, that didn’t take place. Although Paul said: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed”; he was there in the first age, speaking of that promise, but it wasn’t at that time. Everyone was expecting that in the time of Paul, speaking such great revelation, notice, the resurrection and the transformation would take place; because it was in the time when a living messenger would be speaking, proclaiming the day of vengeance, would be proclaiming the Great Voice of Trumpet, and the dead would resurrect. No messenger of the ages… Nor in the time of the seventh angel messenger of the seventh gentile Church age, Reverend William Branham, in the spirit and power of Elijah in his fourth manifestation there in North America; for whoever wishes to receive him: he is the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord. And the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels at this end time, in Its fulfillment, is what vindicates and will be the final vindication that Reverend William Branham was the forerunner of His Coming. Now, it didn’t take place in his time, neither the resurrection nor the transformation took place in his time; in the time of Archangel Gabriel, there in the time when he was giving those Good Tidings to Mary, Jesus’ mother, the resurrection didn’t take place there in that time either. And at this time, in the time of Dr. William Soto Santiago, the resurrection didn’t take place either. So, the One who was forerun must come; who is the fulfillment of what was forerun (back in the time of Jesus two thousand years ago) by John the Baptist; he foreran the Coming of the Messiah. With the Coming of the Messiah, that would bring, that would fulfill, the resurrection of those of the Old Testament. And at this end time, with the coming of the one forerun, He comes, it is fulfilled, as it says here \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] In the time when he is giving His Message, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him and will transform the living believers in Christ… \[JBP\] Which, all of that will have a process, some steps to follow; because notice what happens to Revelation 11; but they will only be absent for only and a half days. Just as Jesus was absent two thousand years ago when He was crucified, and He had to go, pass through the - the fifth dimension, and then through Paradise to bring those of the Old Testament; likewise, the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord will pass by and bring them: it says (those of the sixth dimension) that \[WMB\] “he would pass by and resurrect us; and then we will eat, we will take up bodies and we will eat.”\* \*\[*The Seals*, “The Fifth Seal,” pp. 368-369, paras. 406-413\] Now notice, in the fulfillment and time for that messenger to preach his Message, that is when that promise will be fulfilled (which we read at the beginning) of that Scripture of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 44 to 45 and on, and of First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 3 and on. In that time of that messenger is when that will be fulfilled, the resurrection and transformation will be fulfilled. \[WSS\] In the time when he is giving His Message, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him and will transform the living believers in Christ; that is the time of the Last Trumpet of Great Voice of Trumpet, that is the time of the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom by this messenger who is sent with the Everlasting Message, the Gospel of the Kingdom; and that messenger is this same messenger who appears here in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 6. “*And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”* And in Revelation 22, verse 16, it says: “*I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”* \[JBP\] That messenger is the Angel of Jesus; it’s the Angel, it’s the Holy Spirit, who is made flesh at this end time. Now, remember that the Scriptures have multiple fulfillments\*. \*\[Bible Study #212, 17/June/2022 (Friday), pp. 18-19: *\[WSS\] «**Prophecy has multiple fulfillments, short time, \[intermediate\], and far time; double and triple**».* / Bible Study #233, 28-1/Aug/2022 (Sunday), pp. 29-31 / Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), p. 7\] And the Holy Spirit is the One that God sends incarnate in the Age of the Cornerstone. The Holy Spirit was in the midst of the ages, and He was working in the midst of the ages in mercy; and in the Age of the Cornerstone, when the ages are over and the Dispensation of Grace, the Door is closed, the Lord takes out, He takes the Holy Spirit out from among the Church, which is He who lets… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] There in the book of Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians… Let’s search for that Scripture there: of Second Thessalonians, chapter… let’s see, chapter 2, verse… verse 7: **2 Thessalonians 2:7** *7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let* (\[JBP\] that is the Holy Spirit)*, until he be taken out of the way* (\[JBP\] notice, out of the way, meaning, from within the Dispensation of Grace)*.* *8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth* (\[JBP\] that is, the two edged Sword)*, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:* *9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,* *10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.* \[JBP\] Now, notice how the Holy Spirit, which is the Angel of the Covenant who delivered the Hebrew people, at this time that Angel is the One who comes in human flesh in the Age of the Cornerstone. He was in the midst of the ages…; which our brother Branham, on page 134 of the book of *The Seals*, said: \[WMB\] “When this Holy Spirit that we have, the One who is in our midst now in the form of Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us in the Person of Jesus Christ, then we’ll crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords.” He was in the ages and in the breach; and that’s why he put: \[WMB\] “Holy Spirit”\* there. \*\[Diagram from the message 62-1014M - “The Stature Of A Perfect Man”\] And through the manifestation of the Angel in the midst of that instrument, in the midst of God’s people, called William Soto Santiago, he was bringing the Good Tidings; but notice, he was in a stage where the Dispensation of the Kingdom had not been opened yet, where that Holy Spirit would be working and fulfilling His Coming incarnate in a man, to bring —in that man— the revelation, the Rapturing Faith, and for the New Name to be there. Now notice, all of that is such a great mystery, that it is being opened in such a simple way, that even children can understand it. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice, in this message, the three things that He does in His Coming; in the message **“THE RAPTURE,”** there he shows us about those three things; on page 25 he tells us…, reading from the Scripture of First Thessalonians 4, he says: \[65-1204 - “The Rapture,” pp. 24-25, paras. 129-131\] \[Bible Study #441, 25/Aug/2024 (Sunday), pp. 48-50\] *\[129\]* For the Lord himself *(16th verse)* shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and…the trump of God:… \[JBP\] And he says, brother Branham says: *130 Three things happens: A voice…A shout, a voice, a trumpet, has to happen before Jesus appears. Now, a shout…Jesus does all three of them when He’s—He’s—He’s—He’s descending.* \[JBP\] Who? He Himself. That is why he writes there: *\[WSS\] «**God will do all 3 things by a prophet**».* In other words, He will carry out the fulfillment of those three things by prophet. *\[130\] A shout, what is the shout? It’s the Message going forth, first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.* *131 Now, God has a way of doing things. And He never changes His policy. He never changes His po-…He’s the unchanging God* (\[JBP\] there on the left he draws a Cornerstone, and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**from 6 to 9 a.m.**»* (\[JBP\] that is the fourth watch, when he appears)*. In Amos 3:7, He said He would do nothing on the earth until first He revealed it to His servants the prophets. And just as certain as He promised it, He’ll do it.* \[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages there on the left. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice also on page 9 it tells us… of this message **“THE RAPTURE”**: \[65-1204 - “The Rapture,” p. 9, paras. 47-49\] \[Bible Study #236, 9/Sep/2022 (Friday), p. 23 (PARAS. 47-48)\] *47 God lotted His Word out to each age, and each one of those age has to manifest That. And He also foreordained men for that age, to fulfill that Word. Every time He lotted His Word, He lotted a man for it. When He lotted Moses’ time, He lotted Moses to it. When He lotted the time for the Son of God to be born, He lotted Him to it. Every age, He’s lotted His man, foreordained, as the Bible said. Nothing…* \[JBP\] Notice how from age to age, He has allotted an instrument. And he continues to say: *48 If God is infinite, Almighty, all powerful, omnipresent, omniscient, why, He knowed all things from the beginning. So, He knowed. There’s nothing out of cater. It’s just us that thinks it is. It’s everything run. Look back in His Word and see what He’s doing, then we’ll have an understanding.* \[JBP\] Now notice, let’s go on a bit further, right there; in other words, continuing there; I’m on page 10 now, of **“THE RAPTURE”**: *49 Now, just think. The first place, if that minister would have thought, when they put that vinegar and gall in His mouth, He spit it out. He did not take it, at the first place. See? Just scoffers rising! Another thing, how did this Jesus of Nazareth, how did His life fit every prophecy of the Old Testament? How could it been? It couldn’t have been without it been ordained of God. His life fit every prophecy of the Old Testament. Another thing, if those disciples had faked Him like that, why did each one of them die in martyrdom? And even apostle Peter said, “Turn my head upside down. I’m not worthy to die like Him.” How they took Andrew and turned him sideways on the cross. They, every one, sealed their testimony in their own blood. They believed Him and loved Him, and gave their lives for Him* (\[JBP\] that was in the First Coming of the Lord)*. If He was a faker, how would they ever done that? See? The spiritual application, the people don’t get it.* \[JBP\] And there he writes on the left: *\[WSS\] «**They don’t get the spiritual application**»*. Now notice…, around there, that whole message is very tremendous, this message of “THE RAPTURE.” \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s continue here where we paused, in this same message; a bit further on, he says: “He will have…”; I’m on the one **“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION,”** by Dr. William Soto: \[WSS\] (…) He will have that advantage to be able to deal with Jews and also with Christianity; in other words, he will be able to speak to Christianity, he will be able to speak to Judaism, and he won’t have any problem. He will have the Message pertaining to the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and therefore, the Message for the Last Day, for the seventh millennium from Adam to now and for the third millennium from Christ to now, which is the Last Day of the last three millennia. There is the order or there are the steps for adoption. Those who will be adopted won’t have to be forced to believe, because they will understand; “the wise will understand,” says Daniel, chapter 12. Christ will open their understanding as He did with His disciples in Luke, chapter 24, verses 41 and on. \[JBP\] Notice, they won’t have to be forced, just as the disciples didn’t have to be forced back then in the First Coming of the Lord. At this end time no one is forced. Everyone is coming because they are seeing the fulfillment of that which was brought, which would be the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. Anyone may say: *“Yes, but he did that work. He was the one who called and gathered all those people,”* and what moves those people to those activities so they go and receive the one who is speaking there? Because if they didn’t believe, they wouldn’t be going; something moves them, there’s an attraction on the Mountain, there is an attraction behind the veil, in the Age of the Cornerstone. So, they are believing what the forerunner said that the Coming of the Lord would be, and what Dr. William Soto Santiago brought us; because they are believers, they are the ones who will be transformed. \[WSS\] And then we will all understand the steps for the adoption. The adoption is our transformation (for the living) and the resurrection of the dead in Christ into glorified bodies; the redemption of the body, where we will have immortal bodies, like the glorified body of Christ our Savior. God won’t stray away from His Program; there has to be a stage of the Church for the adoption; let’s call it: the Age of the Adoption. Two thousand years have already passed since Christ, and therefore, since Christianity, and the Church has been going through different stages. A stage must come, and let’s call it: the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone… \[JBP\] Look, he says: \[WSS\] “A stage must come and let’s call it the Age of the Cornerstone”; because he couldn’t open that mystery openly. And notice that he opened it little by little, and he let us catch a glimpse. And in several places we have found that he has said: \[WSS\] “The Door of the Dispensation of Grace has not closed yet; he has not left the Throne of Intercession in Heaven yet; He has not taken the Title Deed in Heaven yet; the Second Coming of the Lord has not been fulfilled yet.”\* \*\[**2017-01-27 “The Return of the Heavenly Citizens to the Father’s House” —Introduction—**: \[WSS\] We are at a very important time, in which at any moment the door of the Dispensation of Grace will close, and then the door of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will open, with the Messiah, the Son of David, as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work. / Bible Study #247, 16/Oct/2022 (Sunday), p. 60 / Bible Study #259, 27/Nov/2022 (Sunday), p. 50\] Notice, he spoke all of that; but in a certain way, it showed that people understood and comprehended that in the time of our brother William, we were living in the time of the Dispensation of the Kingdom; when we were living in it potentially. Now, all of that, now that we are in the Age of the Cornerstone, we can understand everything that was brought to us by Dr. William Soto Santiago and by Reverend William Branham. \[WSS\] … let’s call it: the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the stage of the adoption, the stage where all the promises of the Last Day will be fulfilled: the Coming of Elijah and Moses, of the Two Olive Trees for the Jews; the Coming of the Coming of the Lord for the Church of the Lord; the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Of which, he speaks to us in the book of *Quotations*, on page… let’s see here… (that’s from the message “THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS”), in the book of ***Quotations***; it tells us…, page 129, it tells us…, paragraph 1150: \[64-0719M - “The Feast Of The Trumpets,” p. 35, para. 270\] \[Bible Study #282, 17-2/Feb/2023 (Friday), p. 26 / Study “The Seventh Seal and the Resurrection,” 18-1/Jan/2024 (Thursday), pp. 15-16\] *1150 - “\[270\] Now, as soon as this Church… (...) that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery of going. And the Jews is called by the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet, which is two prophets, Elijah and Moses…”* \[JBP\] Above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah = The mystery of the 7th Trumpet**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And here it also tells us, on page 130, paragraph 1164 \[***Quotations***\]: \[64-0726E - “Broken Cisterns,” p. 30, para. 158\] \[Bible Study #397, 24-2/Mar/2024 (Sunday), p. 15\] *1164 - “\[158\] Remember, that, ‘They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…’ The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal* (\[JBP\] which is the Seventh Seal, see? And the Last Trumpet: the Seventh Trumpet)*, will be the Coming of the Lord. ‘It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’...”* \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Great Trumpet* (that is, the Seventh Trumpet ) *= the 7th Seal**»*. \[JBP\] See? Because what the Seventh Seal is to the Church, which is the Coming of the Lord, is the Seventh Trumpet to Israel, which are Moses and Elijah. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here, he says \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] … let’s call it: the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, the stage of the adoption, the stage where all the promises of the Last Day will be fulfilled: the Coming of Elijah and Moses, of the Two Olive Trees for the Jews, the Coming of the Lord for the Church of the Lord; the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet, the Gospel of the Kingdom or Everlasting Gospel; the call to the elect: to 144.000 Hebrews (12.000 of each tribe), and also the gathering the elect of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to complete the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because without the completion of the Church, we can’t leave this Earth, we can’t be transformed, because Christ can’t leave the Throne of Intercession without redeeming the very last one who is written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. He said that none of His sheep will be lost, therefore He is going to call them all, as He said; and He said: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me, and I know them \[and they follow Me\], and I give them eternal life.” \[John 10:27-28\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In a writing there, he left us somewhere, on a page, in the back, there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Until He has redeemed the very last one, then He stands up from the Throne**»*. \[JBP\] See? How that happened when we stopped the baptisms, washing of feet - Holy Supper or Communion, washing of feet and all of that; and that stage of the Dispensation of Grace, where the altar calls were being carried out, to carry out those memorials; that ended. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now he goes on to say here \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] **“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION.”** To live on this Earth and not know the steps for the adoption yet be waiting for the transformation, is like living in the time when John the Baptist came and when Jesus came: many were waiting for Elijah to come, and for the Messiah to come as well, and He came and they didn’t even realize it; because they didn’t know the steps for the fulfillment of that Program. They thought that Elijah would come in a chariot of fire because he left in a chariot of fire, and since he left that way he would have to come… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Notice, they say: “No, it’s because he left…,” the believers of brother Branham…; which, there is a number from that group who will come into the Age of the Cornerstone and be transformed. But notice, until that mystery is opened and their veil is removed, notice, they think that he will return because he said that the white-horse Rider, he says that he would ride that trail again. He says on page 166, paragraph 1485, it says \[***Quotations***\]: \[65-1128M - “God's Only Provided Place Of Worship,” p. 1, para. 6\] \[Bible Study #311, 28/May/2023 (Sunday), p. 26 / Bible Study #322, 7-2/July/2023 (Friday), p. 66 / Bible Study #375, 7-4/Jan/2024 (Sunday), pp. 36-37\] *1485 - “6 Now, there’s… I was…getting pretty old, and I thought, ‘Will I…Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail* (\[JBP\] and he writes there): *\[WSS\] «**5th Elijah and 2nd Moses**»* *again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”* \[JBP\] And on the right there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The West: will come a white horse Rider**»*. Now look… At the bottom he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 10:1-11. 19:11-19**»*. Notice that… And above he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**We’ll ride this trail again**»*. \[JBP\] Some people think that because he said that, he has to come from above (in other words, he has to resurrect) to fulfill that promise. And also, at this time, some who pointed fingers at them saying that they were doing the wrong thing, who believed the wrong way, that it wasn’t that way, that *“it’s not that he would return, it’s that it’s in another man”…,* notice, the Archangel Gabriel left, in other words, that ministry which was in the midst of the Church bringing us all that revelation of what the Coming of that promised Son would be; and he left, and notice, they’re thinking the same thing and believing the same thing as those who they themselves pointed fingers at saying that it wasn’t the way they thought: that brother Branham would return; well, they are in the same situation: they are thinking that he will return to fulfill what is left to be fulfilled. They’ve even said: *“No, he is going to return to finish what he left.”* See? They start to add to it and take away from it. And that’s very dangerous; because whoever adds to it: plagues will be added to him; and whoever takes away from it: his name will be blotted out of the Book of Life \[Revelation 22:18-19\]. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he continues to say \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] … because he left in a chariot of fire, and since he left that way he would have to come; and notice, it was the ministry of Elijah in another man named John the Baptist. And the Messiah came and they didn’t recognize Him, except those who had received John the Baptist and others who heard the preaching of Jesus or of the apostles. In other words, let’s say that one-tenth (and that’s being generous!) of the inhabitants of the Hebrew people knew that the Messiah was on Earth, or perhaps less, but many saw Him but they didn’t know that the Messiah was on Earth… \[JBP\] There are many… many people, many human beings on Earth, at this end time, and many religions and many sects; but notice, only the Church-Bride, that small group, is the one seeing the fulfillment of that Coming; because He comes as a thief in the night \[1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 16:15. And of the whole world, only a small group, is the group that is seeing and receiving His Coming. \[WSS\] … but many saw Him and didn’t know that the Messiah was on Earth, because they believed that He was a false prophet, that He was an impostor, that He was a gluttonous man and a wine drinker; because sinners invited Him to eat, He would go and be with them and eat, and they would say: “This is a gluttonous man and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and sinners…” \[Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34\] \[JBP\] The same thing they have said in this end time as well, see? Because it is the same, it is repeated again; because he said it would be parallel in every way. And so they point out things about him, as they pointed them out back then, in the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Lord in that man, in that young carpenter called Jesus of Nazareth. \[WSS\] … and Christ says to him: “Those who are whole don’t need a physician, those who are sick are the ones that need a physician.” \[Matthew 9:11-13, Mark 2:16-17, Luke 5:30-32\] So, Christ knew how to explain why He was eating with those people, accepting their invitations. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, in the message **“THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US,”** on page 21, he says… at the bottom he says: \[64-0629 - “The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us,” pp. 19-20, paras. 148-154\] \[Study “The Church-Bride seeing the Holy Spirit incarnate at the Last Day,” 7/Sep/2024 (Saturday), pp. 120-122\] *148 We notice another thing, in the Old Testament. I have the Scripture here, in Exodus. That, the old badger skins, what did it do? It hid the Glory of God from the people. The badger skins; even people couldn’t see It, because it was a skin that held It. The skin was…The Glory of God was behind the skin.* *149 And now the Glory of God is behind your skin. That’s right. And the traditions don’t see It.* ***It’s inside the veil, where His Word was****.* \[JBP\] He writes on the left: *\[WSS\] «**God’s Glory hidden by the veil**».* And there… “It’s inside the veil, where His Word was,” there on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 10:8-11, 11:3**».* \[JBP\] That is the Coming of the Mighty Angel; and Revelation 11, Moses and Elijah; because the Son of Man comes with His Angels. *150 What was on the inside of that skin back there, the old badger skins?* *151 Which, “There was no beauty we should desire It. And when It was made flesh and dwelt among us, It was still no beauty we should desire It.”* *152 And now the same thing is today. There’s nothing in a man or a woman, that can be desired. It’s what’s in behind there. That’s what it is. “Well,” you say, “that fellow, I know he used to be a drunkard…”* \[JBP\] That’s what they used to say about Jesus. *“Oh, no; it doesn’t say that.”* What do you mean it doesn’t? When they said that He was a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and harlots, in other words, at this time they could say: “This man is a drunkard.” *\[152\] “...He used to do this.” I don’t care what he used to do. What’s hid behind that skin?* \[JBP\] They could say that back then: “I don’t care what Jesus does.” *\[152\] What is behind there, that’s what counts. That’s what, the people is blinded. The skin blinds the people* (\[JBP\] and there on the left he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the important thing is what is behind the veil**»**. See? They say, “I remember when that woman used to.” I know what she used to, but what about now? See?* *153 Them skins, that was once on the badger, but now it’s hiding the Glory of God, got It housed behind it. It was on an animal, but now it’s housing the Glory of God.* *154 And so can your skin be changed, tonight, to be made a housing place for God, God dwelling in humanity.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] (…) And that is the Voice that will have to be heard on the Lord’s Day, the Last Day, the seventh millennium from Adam to now or \[the\] third millennium from Christ to now; that is the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Message of the Everlasting Gospel; and he will bring all the divine knowledge that we need to obtain in order to be ready to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, without forcing anyone. The Gospel of Christ is preached and whoever will believe, will believe; in other words, whoever is in the Divine Program. Remember that Christ also said to those who didn’t want to believe in Him: “You cannot believe, because you are not of My sheep,” \[John 10:24-26\] and there, He dismissed them (\[JBP\] he says there). \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the message **“THREE KINDS OF BELIEVERS,”** on page 23, there Reverend William Branham tells us, he says: \[63-1124E - “Three Kinds Of Believers,” pp. 24-25, paras. 185-190\] \[Study “The Coming of the Creator,” 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), pp. 20-22\] *\[186\] Now, we find now, they do just exactly like their father does, Judas.* \[JBP\] A bit before that, it says: *185 And this Message of the hour that we’re now enjoying, the Presence of God, the latter day, the evening time when the Lights are shining, and the things that’s been opened up, and the Word vindicated and proved to be the Truth; both prophesied, comes to pass, all through scientific and everything, proved that It is, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and forever.” And, a man walk out on That…* \[JBP\] And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The unbeliever walks out on It**»*. \[JBP\] Which is what has happened at this end time: the unbelievers have walked out on the fulfillment of what was promised. *\[185\] … he’s—he’s an unbeliever. He’s beyond hopes. He’s numbed by the power of Satan, so there is no hopes for him. He is beyond hopes.* *186 Now that is what? The believer; now the unbeliever; now the third class, we’re speaking about, is the make-believer. That’s the boy, the make-believer!* *Now, remember, in there stood all three. Now, we find now, they do just exactly like their father does, Judas.* *There was Peter and the rest of the apostles, believers.* *There was the seventy, unbelievers.* *187 And there was Judas, hung right on, he was a make-believer. What do they do? This is the kind that holds on until they can find something, a fault in It.* \[JBP\] They are there until the end, always on the lookout for a mistake, to criticize, to fight against, to mock as well; they are always looks for faults; and they listen and are attentive, so that…, when they see that something is being done in the Divine Program! But they are the ones who are there to attack; they wait for something to be spoken, and for the activity to be held and everything, to then attack. One identifies them as the Judases there. *\[187\] They are looking every time to find a loophole, see how it’s done, see if it’s a trick, if it’s a gimmick. They’re waiting to be sold out.* \[JBP\] Now notice, that will happen more openly in that time when…, once all that was seen in the Tent Vision takes place. Remember that everything moves progressively. And today God is carrying out all the most important things, which is the revelation, the Rapturing Faith. Later on the altar calls will appear; later on the prayer line will appear as well, the prayer for the sick. But notice, all of that, if they questioned it, criticized it, and searched for something to fight against, in the time of John, of Jesus, of the apostles, of the seven angel messengers… In the time of brother Branham they used to look for: *“No, that’s mental telepathy,”* or: *“That’s this, or the other.”* See? For the unbeliever there is no way for God to show something for them to believe, because they are always unbelievers and will continue to be unbelievers. There’s no way for them to believe. Even if the stones rose, “the dead (it says) out of those stones,” (Jesus says)\*; still they will not believe; because the unbeliever will always be an unbeliever, whether they see miracles or /none are performed/ or they don’t see miracles. \* *\[187\] They’re waiting to be sold out. They’re looking for that.* *188 The unbeliever, he don’t even wait around. He’s condemned It, and walked out.* *189 The believer, no matter what happens, he believes It, anyhow, for It’s the Word.* \[JBP\] On the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The unbeliever leaves**»*. \[JBP\] The make-believers are those who stay until the end; who are unbelievers; because \[WSS\] “in the end,” brother William says that \[WSS\] there end up being only two groups: believers and unbelievers\*. \*\[Study “The Coming of the Creator,” 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), pp. 33-34\]: **1982-05-16 “Watching the time”**: \[WSS\] Those are the ones that have always existed, and that exist today. And the make-believers belong to the unbelievers; so, we can reduce the groups to two kinds of people: believers and unbelievers. You belong to one of those two groups. But the make-believing unbeliever, that is, the make-believer, is the worst kind; he’s the most stubborn one; he’s the most problematic one. *\[189\] There is your three classes.* *190 The old unbeliever will walk out, on the first thing that’s said, he don’t like about it. Brother, he’s going to throw his colors right then. He’s an unbeliever. Paul said, “They went out from us, because they wasn’t of us, in the beginning.* \[JBP\] And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Those who leave, they went out from us, but they were not…**»*. \[JBP\] That’s how it is in the fulfilment of the Tent Vision, in the fulfillment of the Coming of those ministries to the Church-Bride, in the midst of the Church-Bride, where he said that \[WSS\] those ministries will be invited for the fulfillment of the Tent Vision\* \*\[Bible Study #453, 6-2/Oct/2024 (Sunday), p. 52\]: **2011-04-30 “The crowning of the ministry, the Messenger and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ”**: \[WSS\] So, that Great Tent Cathedral must appear somewhere; and the ministries of Moses and Elijah will have to be invited; and therefore, the Holy Spirit will be there operating those ministries, of Moses and Elijah. In other words, the Holy Spirit would be in the midst of His Church; which is the Pillar of Fire that Reverend William Branham saw speaking to somebody else, above where he was\*. In other words, at that time the Holy Spirit is the One that would be operating those ministries, operating those ministries to fulfill the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. \*\[*The Seals*, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 548 para. 296-299\] And at this end time, those who were not of us leave; “they went out from us because they were not of us.” *\[190\] “They went out from us, because they wasn’t of us, in the beginning. They started with us.”* \[JBP\] Notice, many of those who have left started from the beginning; and many have been around for many years. But what is the use of them being there from the beginning if in the end they were going to reject the fulfillment of the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels? It was of no use to them. *\[190\] “Oh, you did run well; what hindered you?” See it? “They went out, because they wasn’t of us.”* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And there’s what brother William says, he says \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] Remember that Christ also said to those who didn’t want to believe in Him: “You cannot believe, because you are not of My sheep.” \[John 10:24-26\] And there, He dismissed them. \[JBP\] Because notice, at this end time, that is what has been happening: and that instrument can say: “You can’t believe in me because you are not of my sheep.” And since the Son of Man comes with His Angels to make that separation, that segregation, then, he already dismissed them there. He says: “And there, he dismissed them.” And so have I now: I have already dismissed them, see? Those who are unbelievers. \[WSS\] Whoever doesn’t want to believe, won’t believe. He says: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me.” He said: “He that is of God, hears God’s Voice.” \[John 8:47\] He that is of God to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, will hear the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Last Trumpet, the Final Message of God, the Gospel of the Kingdom which will be intertwining with the Gospel of Grace. That is a mystery as well: how a dispensational Message intertwines with another dispensational Message, only a dispensational prophet can do it, no other prophet can do it; and it has to be the one who is ordained for the new dispensation, to intertwine His Message with the dispensation that is ending. “**THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION.”** All those who will be adopted will be hearing the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Trumpet of God; all the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of Man, the Voice of the Son of God, and will resurrect \[John 5:25\]. \[JBP\] Whoever won’t —whoever won’t be listening and isn’t listening to it— well, won’t be transformed. Remember in John, chapter 5, verse 24, around there, where he wrote to us in that part where he said that “the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God and will rise,” he writes there: *\[WSS\] «in flesh»**\**. That is why it is the Voice of the Son of Man, the Voice of the Son of God, that those in the sixth dimension will hear, and they will rise. \*\[Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), pp. 59, 61 / Study “Eating of the Tree of Life at the First and Second Coming,” 16/Oct/2023 (Monday), p. 6: *\[WSS\] «**of the Holy Spirit in flesh**».*\] \[WSS\] **“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION.”** In that message He will be revealing the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His Church. And we won’t speak about that now, we’ll leave that for another occasion; because the Coming of the Lord to His Church will be more simple than we imagine. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on page 286 \[p. 329 in Eng. (Fifth Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***, Reverend William Branham tells us there, he says…; and let’s have this open here as well, to see what he writes to us there; he says: 61 They could be big enough to be—to be simple enough, they could find Him in that direction, by being simple. But as long as you’re going towards wisdom, you’re going away from Him. 62 Now let me get that so you won’t miss it. As long as you’re trying to find God by wisdom, like it was in the garden of Eden, like it was in the days of Moses, like it was in the days of—of Noah, like it’s been in the days of Christ, in the days of John, in the days of the apostles, and to this day! When you try to figure It out, and try to find God by wisdom, you’re going farther from Him all the time. You’re trying to understand It. There is no way of doing it. Just accept It. See? Just believe It. Don’t try to understand It. \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Don’t try to understand it; just accept it, believe it**»*. And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**To accept = to believe**»*. 63 I can’t understand why, that, well, a lot of things. Not many things I do understand or can understand. \[JBP\] And he writes there, in this other message - the book: *\[WSS\] «**There are many things that I don’t understand**»*. \[JBP\] Now notice, there in 287, there he also says \[***The Seals***\] \[P. 330\]: 68 So, you see, don’t try to get wisdom, to understand. Just believe what He says. And the more simpler you can get, then there you are, you’ll find It. Now, I’m so thankful for that, thankful that He is, has made Hisself simple. \[JBP\] And he writes on the left side: *\[WSS\] «**Simple**»*. \[JBP\] And on the right…, there in this one…, let’s look here, he draws a Star of David in the previous paragraph, to have that drawing there, where he says \[***The Seals***\] \[P. 330\]: \[67\] They ain’t got them a watch or a clock, or any piece of machinery, that’s that perfect. And yet it stands there. And, then, leaning backwards. What if it straightened up a little bit? Yeah. You just make yourself silly, to try, see. \[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David there on the right. It’s a bit before. It’s because there was that Star in this one, and today… so that you have it there in that previous paragraph. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Well, let’s continue here; brother William continues to say \[**“THE STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION”**\]: \[WSS\] The world won’t even realize when Christ takes His Church, therefore, they won’t know that it was the Coming of the Lord to His Church: it will be as a thief in the night, the Scripture says \[1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 16:15\]. The foolish virgins didn’t see Him either, they didn’t know that He was coming, but they didn’t have the Oil and they went to buy some (\[JBP\] in other words, they left to search for other leaders, their own ministers who are against, they went to look for the Holy Spirit in other places); and when they returned, the wise virgins had already gone in with the Bridegroom to the Marriage, and the door had been closed \[Mathew 25:1-13\]. So, it’s the wise virgins who will see Him, receive Him… \[JBP\] Automatically the person identifies as elect of God there: when he is receiving at this time the revelation, the content of the Seven Thunders, and he is receiving the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; he is seeing Him and receiving Him, and believing Him wholeheartedly. \[WSS\] … and go in with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It’s important to know the steps, that is, the order for the adoption, for the transformation of the living; and for the dead in Christ: the resurrection in eternal bodies. \[JBP\] It’s important to know **“THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION.”** Let’s stand, and thus, we leave, in this message: **“THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION,”** our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
