Perez*\] Good afternoon to all those who are connected on this occasion through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite. There where Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin is as well: May God bless you, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, where you are on this occasion there in the congregation that Reverend Hugo Rodriguez pastors there in Topo Chico, in Mexico; and all the brothers and sisters, fellow ministers, at this end time, in our age: the Age of the Cornerstone. Today, Friday, January 24, of this year 2025, our subject is: **GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, March 5, 2017* *Austin, Texas, United States* **Scripture: Genesis 17:15-19** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] He used the Scripture of Genesis, chapter 17, verse 15 on, where it tells us: **Genesis 17:15** *15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.* \[JBP\] He writes on the right: *\[WSS\] «**Sarah**»*. *16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her* (\[JBP\] there on the left he writes): *\[WSS\] «**promised son**»**: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.* *17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?* *18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!* *19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.* **GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On Friday, March 3, 2017, meaning, that weekend, that Friday before this subject, of this Sunday Bible study, he titled it… it’s the same; and there he had the Introduction to this subject: “GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM,” and he tells us…; it was preached on Friday, March 3, 2017, in San Marcos; he says: **GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM** —**Introduction—** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Friday, March 3, 2017* *San Marcos, Texas, United States* And now we are living in \[the\] Age of \[the\] Cornerstone, we are living in the time of the Year of Jubilee, of the second part of Abraham’s life, of the 100th year of Abraham’s life; and the 100th year was the second jubilee year of Abraham’s life, that is, the second cycle of jubilee year of Abraham’s life. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“VICTORY DAY,”** it tells us on page 24; it says… of which there is a writing here that he had in this same message, but in English, on full-size pages (it was in English); and there, in this portion that I’m going to read in Spanish, he writes some notes there; and he says there, our brother Branham says, we’ll see the writings there later on, he says: \[63-0421 - “Victory Day,” p. 26, para. 193-201\] *\[193\] He’s proved it.* *194 Abraham says, “He proved it to me. I was childless. I was—I was an old man. I was sterile, and my wife’s womb was dead. And we was…She was sixty-five, and I was seventy-five, but God said, ‘I’m going to give you a baby by her.’ That settled it. That was all there was to it.” Abraham says, “I believed it.”* *195 Then God throwed him into twenty-five years of trial. It didn’t mean a thing to Abraham. He come out stronger than he was the first place, still giving praise to God. No doubt, God looked down and said, “What a servant!”* *Said, Satan said, “Oh, yeah.”* *Said, “He…”* *196 “But I’ll—I’ll prove that he loves Me. Take him up there, top of the hill, destroy the very evidence. Take him up there.”* *And Abraham went up to do it. That’s right.* \[JBP\] Now, he writes there in that paragraph, in the English one, he writes there on the right: *\[WSS\] «**Sarah — 65* *Abraham — 75**»*. 75 years, 65 years. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Every 50 years is a jubilee**»*. *\[WSS\] «**The promised son came in Abraham’s 2nd jubilee**»*. And he also draws two small Cornerstones, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «**50**»* and *\[WSS\] «**50**»*. And to the left on that paragraph, he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**For 25 years he awaited the fulfillment of the promise of the coming of the promised son**»*. And he draws a Cornerstone. \[JBP\] When you add 1977… which was when he had said, he had prophesied that 1977 would put an end to the Laodicean Age\*. And notice that that promise is fulfilled there, after that time, that was where he was to carry everything out; but notice, at that time there, that gap opened up, where God was going to call all those living stones pertaining to the Age of the Cornerstone, because that age wasn’t built, that part relevant to the Most Holy Place. \*\[*The Ages,* “The Laodicean Age,” p. 321; p. 322\] Now, look, he also writes there, above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Sarah \[rejuvenated\] with a living womb = the Church-Bride to conceive the promised Son, which is the 2nd Coming of Christ**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Sarah and the dead womb = the church that can no longer conceive**»*. \[JBP\] Now, a little further down, he, our brother Branham, continues to say there \[**“VICTORY DAY”**\]: *197 And Abraham, when he started to take his child’s life, the Holy Spirit grabbed his hand* (\[JBP\] now, he writes there, notice, he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the Angel of the Lord is the Holy Spirit**»**, said, “Abraham, stay your hand. I know you love Me.” Amen.* *198 That’s the kind of a person that I want to be, love God regardless of what takes place. “Stay your hand.” Give you the trial, where it’s even against your own thinking. But, as long as the Word said so, do it, anyhow. See?* (\[JBP\] notice what a teaching!) *199 “Stay your hand. I know that you love Me, ’cause you’ve not even withheld your only son from Me.” Said, “Blessing, I’ll bless you,” said, “his seed shall stand in the gate of the enemy, and he’ll conquer.” Oh, my! He did, too.* *200 A little later, we’re going to get that “seed of Abraham” there.* (\[JBP\] And he writes here, in the English one, he writes): *\[WSS\] «**I have the keys of hell and of death**»*. *All right. What did…* *201 Doubts had gone from Abraham. When he heard the real Word, doubts left. When he seen God vindicate the Word, doubts left. Love took its place. “I know you love Me, Abraham* (\[JBP\] What took its place? Love. Remember that it’s the victory that is obtained at this time: the Great Victory in Divine Love)*. You don’t doubt Me a bit. No matter how long you had to wait, you still believed Me. I asked you to destroy the very evidence I had give you. Give you the evidence, then asked you to destroy it. And you love Me so well, you keep My Word regardless of what it is.” Amen. That was a real V-day for God. See?* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William goes on to say here, in the excerpt that we are reading of the message **“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM”**: \[WSS\] Now we can see why he had to wait so long; but he didn’t despair, he waited with patience, knowing that the One who had made the promise was mighty to fulfill what He had promised. And that is why He appeared to him later on, before he reached the age of 100, when he was 99 years old, He appeared to him for the last time to give him the good news that the next year the promised son would already be with him. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN,”** page 23 at the bottom, going on to 24, it says: \[62-1014M - “The Stature Of A Perfect Man,” p. 24, paras. 162-166\] \[Study “Entering the Kingdom Positionally,” 5/Aug/2023 (Saturday), pp. 128-129\] *162 Abraham believed that. And when he was a hundred years old, he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief.* \[JBP\] Here on the right of… in this book - booklet, our brother William draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and he only divides the seventh age. That is, the…, twice he draws two Cornerstones, and two bottom parts of the - of the part of the ages; and he only divides the seventh, in both. And in the first one, in the seventh age, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**49**»*, and at the top he writes: *\[WSS\] «**50**»* in the Cornerstone. And on the right, where he also draws a Cornerstone and the ages, he writes in the seventh age: *\[WSS\] «**99**»*; and at the top, in the Cornerstone, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**100**»*. *\[162\] Look how ridiculous that Word looked. Here’s a man, a hundred years old, looking for a baby to be born into his home, by a woman ninety years old. See? Almost fifty years passed bearing, lived with her since she was a—a young girl, or teen age. And here he is, his life stream was dead. And Sarah’s womb was dead. And all hopes is gone, as far as it was hopes. But, yet, against hope, he believed in hope, because he had knowledge that God was able to keep everything that He promised.* \[JBP\] On the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Knowledge**»*. And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Abraham had science= knowledge**»*. *163 Now, when you got it like that, then add that to your faith. When you got true virtue, add it to your faith. When you can walk out here on the street, live like a Christian, act like a Christian, be a Christian, add that to your faith. When you have knowledge…* *164 You say, “Well, I don’t know now whether this Scripture is just right* (\[JBP\] that’s what happened to Abraham there; though in human terms, it didn’t make sense, but notice, he believed it)*. Now here is Acts 2:38, I don’t know how to go about it with Acts 28:19. I don’t.” All right. You don’t—don’t add nothing, ’cause you ain’t got It yet. See? What are you going to do? Because, you haven’t got knowledge enough to know of God, yet, that the Bible doesn’t contradict Itself. Leave it alone. Don’t say no more about it. See? Leave it alone.* *165 But when you can see that the Scripture is not contradictory, that you can say that; and can see, that, by the revelation of God, the whole Word is wrote in mysteries, and only the knowledge of God can reveal It; then when you get and say, punctuate every Word of God with an “amen,” then add that to your faith.* \[JBP\] What a tremendous declaration! There on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. *166 Oh, you’re getting to be a pretty good man right now. See? You’re coming up, see. What with? With faith, then with virtue, then knowledge. See how it’s building this man? You can see there’s no—no way escaping it. This is the way to become in the full stature of Christ. Yes, sir.* \[JBP\] And he writes to the left, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**God’s Knowledge reveals the Word**»*. \[JBP\] It’s not man’s knowledge, it’s not man’s interpretation, but rather God’s Knowledge. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William goes on to say here \[**“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM —Introduction—”**\]: \[WSS\] That’s good news for Abraham, a 99-year-old elderly man; for which he had to be rejuvenated, transformed; and Sarah, being 89 years old, also had to be transformed, because her time to have children had already passed. Who would expect an 89-year-old elderly woman to have a child? Anyone would have to say: “She has to be transformed, she has to go back to being young to expect to have a child.” \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 138 of the book of ***Quotations***, it tells us… in paragraph 1235: \[64-0830M - “Questions And Answers #3,” p. 49, para. 249\] \[Bible Study #283, 19/Feb/2023 (Sunday), pp. 31-32\] *1235 - “\[249\] The translation of the Bride will be the same thing. The Word that’s in you, the body will materialize around that Word, and the same thing did by Sarah.”* \[JBP\] Above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**In the Word the body will materialize transformation…**»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Abraham and Sarah**»*. At the end «transformation» he writes: *\[WSS\] «**and rapture**»* as well. *\[WSS\] «**In the Word the body will materialize transformation and rapture**»*. *\[WSS\] «**Abraham and Sarah**»*. And below that paragraph, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The promise of the promised son transformed Sarah and Abraham, and the son came**»*. \[JBP\] Notice, what transformed them? The promise. And what came after that? The fulfillment: the son. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here \[**“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM —Introduction—”**\]: \[WSS\] That’s what happened to Sarah and Abraham: they were transformed, rejuvenated, with the Coming of the Lord there among them, when He appeared to them and said: “Next year you will have… the son will come.” In other words, the Coming of the Lord the day before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, was also a great sign for the coming of the promised son. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 164, of the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 1462, it says: \[65-1126 - “Works Is Faith Expressed,” pp. 31-34, paras. 239-240, 243, 256-259, 267-280\] \[Study "Seeing God Face to Face,” 4/March/2023 (Saturday), pp. 11-13 / Bible Study #442, 30-2/Aug/2024 (Friday), pp. 53-55\] *1462 - “\[239\] I remember that up here in ‘Twin City,’ I think Brother Brown and them was with me; and I was taking the life of Joseph, in the Bible. And I read that Bible, there was a man there was nothing against! Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all of them, had something against them, but not Joseph. What a man, a perfect man, a perfect type of Christ!* *\[240\] I said, “God, I want to thank You for a man like Joseph (...)* *243 And right then the Holy Spirit revealed to me…”* \[JBP\] Who revealed it to him? The Holy Spirit. Notice the… when he writes there, that Angel, where the Scripture says that “the Angel that stopped his hand,” and there he says: *\[WSS\] «the Holy Spirit»*. *1462 - “\[243\] …said, ‘…and you’ll call his name “Joseph.”’* \[JBP\] Who told brother Branham to name his son Joseph? The Holy Spirit; the same One who told Mary back then to name the son that Mary would have: Jesus \[Luke 1:26-38\]. Now here, notice, He says to him: *1462 - “243 And right then the Holy Spirit revealed to me…, said, ‘You’ll have a son, and you’ll call his name “Joseph.”’ I got up from there and thanked the Lord. (...)”* *1462 - “\[256\] A**nd I remember,* (\[JBP\] remember that brother Branham’s son is a type and figure of the Second Coming of the Lord) *four years later, my wife…* *257 We knew we was going to have a baby. (...)* *259 When it was born, it was Sarah. (...)* *267 Four years passed, finally she was going to be mother again.(...)* *277 I went up, the mill, to pray. And I started there. There stood that Light hang between two trees, said, ‘Go back to your, were, to the Book.’ I went back to the—the Bible, and while it, and been laying in my car, and when it did, the wind had blowed it over to where Nathan was setting, and David, said, ‘Go tell My servant David, I took him from that sheepcote, from feeding those few sheep of his father’s, and I made him a great name like the great men.’ (Not all the—the greatest name, but just like great men; never made him a Billy Graham, but a...give him a name, you know.) Said, ‘I done that, but,’ said, ‘I can’t let him build the temple, but his son…’* *278 And just as soon as It said, ‘His sons,’ oh, my, there it was.* *279 I said, ‘Joseph?’ That’s right.* *\[280\] I run, throwed my arms around her, and I said, ‘****Honey*** (\[JBP\] and he writes, above “honey” he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Meda = Bride**»**! Joseph is coming* (\[JBP\] and above he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Jesus**»**. Joseph is on his road.’”* \[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone. And on the left he also writes - he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, down there, at the end of that sentence. And above that paragraph he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Construction of the Temple / David and his son Solomon**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Joseph is coming \[Beloved\] = Christ for the 2nd time**»*. *\[WSS\] «**Meda = The Church-Bride will have a Son, the one of the promise**»*. \[JBP\] Now, notice how all that revelation is opened by the Divine Knowledge that He is giving us, to know all those Scriptures and see them in their fulfillment at this end time. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William goes on to say here \[**“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM —Introduction—”**\]: \[WSS\] And for those who are going to be transformed at the end time, the Church made up of the believers in Christ, we find that they have the promise of being transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; for which they come up to the Age of \[the\] Cornerstone, they go up to that divine cycle of the Year of Jubilee. Just as it happened in order for Abraham and Sarah to have the child: they had the child on the year of jubilee, the 50th year - the second 50th year of Abraham’s life, which is the 100th year of Abraham’s life, which represents all the believers in Christ in the Age of \[the\] Cornerstone. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 7-B of the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 72… or 62 (correction), paragraph 62 says: \[61-0416 - “Abraham And His Seed After Him,” p. 38, para. 235\] *62 – “\[235\] And now we have seen the placing of the gifts into the church* (\[JBP\] and he writes above): *\[WSS\] «**A ministry – prophet – 4th Elijah**»**. And now what are we seeing next? God manifest Himself in flesh, discerning the very thoughts of the heart, exactly what Jesus said would come to pass. And the next thing is the changing of the body to receive the promised Son.”* \[JBP\] And there he draws, on the right, a Cornerstone and the ages. And on the left, upward, in two sentences he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The promised son* *The son of Abraham**»*. And below he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Sarah — The changed Church**»*. Let’s see here: *\[WSS\] «**Sarah — The Church’s body changes from old (Pentecostal) to young (Bride), and She gives birth to Isaac: the son of the promise, the son of Abraham**»*. I’ll read it again: *\[WSS\]«**Sarah — The Church’s body changes from old (Pentecostal) to young (Bride), and She gives birth to Isaac: the son of the promise, the son of Abraham**»*. Above that paragraph, he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**The transformed body**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here \[**“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM —Introduction—”**\]: \[WSS\] Abraham had two Cornerstone ages; in the second one was when he had the promised son. And the believers in Christ at this end time have the Age of the Cornerstone, the Age of the Year of Jubilee, to receive the blessings promised for the Year of Jubilee at the end time. For this reason, let’s hold on tight to Christ, let’s be spiritually prepared; let’s prepare our soul, our spirit, and our body to be ready to receive our transformation soon; we don’t know what year, but we know it’s soon; we know that it’s for the Age of the Year of Jubilee, the Age of the Cornerstone. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 16, paragraph 118, it tells us \[***Quotations***\]: \[57-0323 - “God In His Word,” p. 13, para. 35\] \[Bible Study #450, 27/Sep/2024 (Friday), pp. 29-30\] *118 - “35* ***I believe, and can prove, that the right mental attitude*** *towards any Divine promise of God will bring it to pass. Yes, sir. The right mental attitude, but you’ve got to have the right attitude. The—the attitude is what brings the results. If you say, ‘Yes, yes, I believe it but I don’t know now.’ That’s not the right attitude. The right attitude is to receive it, and say it’s ‘THUS SAITH THE LORD.’ Then it’s right.”* \[JBP\] There above the… in the first sentence, where it says “I believe, and can prove, that the right mental attitude”, there he writes above: *\[WSS\] «**positive**»*. And on the right, he draws a Star of David there. And on top he writes: *\[WSS\] «**One’s mental attitude towards the promise will fulfill it**»*. \[JBP\] The mental attitude of every elect of God, towards the promise of transformation, will fulfill it. Now, if it’s not the right attitude: he will not be transformed. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William goes on to say here \[**“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM —Introduction—”**\]: \[WSS\] We cannot leave from there to another age. That is where we will receive the faith, the revelation to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, that is where we will receive everything we need in order to be ready to be taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And just like on the Day of Pentecost, in an Age of the Cornerstone, there was a spiritual transformation in those who received the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit (and during that apostolic age they were receiving great blessings and spiritual transformation, where they obtained the new birth); in the Age of the Cornerstone, at the Last Day, they will receive the physical transformation that did not take place in the day of the apostles, because back then it was the spiritual transformation that would take place until \[this\] the end time. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 105 of the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 916, it tells us: \[63-0721 - “He Cares. Do You Care?” p. 31, para. 150\] \[Study “What lies between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal before the Rapture,” 14/Aug/2023 (Monday), p. 13\] *916 - “150 Jesus cared enough for the Message of today to bring these same things to pass as He said, till He died and rose again to send them by the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to show His ministry today that He’s still alive. He cared enough. Won’t we care? That’s the thing, won’t we care? He died for this ministry. He died in order that the Holy Spirit could be here in this day to show these things. He cared for you. He cared to bring It here. He cared to make the statement. He cared because He loved you. He cared enough to do it, to send the Holy Spirit to this, make this ministry today.”* \[JBP\] There above that paragraph, 916, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Jesus cares about the fulfillment of His promises**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on page 101 from the book of **“THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL,”** (which is 118 in the version that you have; it’s 101 in this one), it says: \[*The Seventy Weeks of Daniel* - 61-0806 - “The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,” pp. 86-87, paras. 67-68\] 67 It’s laying back in that condition. And that only shows that this is just a period of time. Can’t you see? God don’t have things out of cater (\[JBP\] and on the left he draws a Star of David). He’s just letting it run like that for a little time. And I truly believe that that thing was done. And at this last days is when God is going to reveal these secrets to the Church. He hasn’t done it before. And the reason He hasn’t done it, is to keep the Church a watching and praying all the time, not knowing when it was coming. But you remember, in Daniel 12, He said, “The wise shall understand in the last, in this last day.” (\[JBP\] He draws a Star of David on the right). See? It’s been given to him. 68 The Spirit of wisdom comes into the Church, to make known to the Church, by the revelation of the Holy Ghost, bringing the Church in and revealing what day that we’re living in (\[JBP\] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone, on the right). Just the same as Gabriel come to—to Daniel, the Holy Spirit comes to the Church in the last days, to reveal these great, deep, secret things. Do you understand now? \[JBP\] And there on the left, upwards, in two sentences, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Gabriel = came to Daniel**».* *«**The Holy Spirit = comes to the Church**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he goes on to say here, in this other message titled: “THE FIRSTBORN AND HIS BLESSING,” preached on September 11, 2002, in Monterrey, Mexico…, where, that year, a ministry began there. Now notice, he says: **THE FIRSTBORN AND HIS BLESSING** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Wednesday, September 11, 2002* *Monterrey, Mexico* … just like in the midst of the earthly Israel, God sent His Angel, the Angel of the Lord in human flesh. But now we wonder: And will there be a virgin like the virgin Mary who will give birth to that Son of Christ? Yes, of course! That virgin is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 156, paragraph 1396, it says…; which is an excerpt of the message “THE GOD OF THIS EVIL AGE,” I also have the message here, of that portion that is in the book of ***Quotations***; it says… page 156, paragraph 1396, which is page 41 of the message, of the booklet: \[65-0801M - “The God Of This Evil Age,” p. 37, para. 167\] \[Bible Study #310, 26-2/May/2023 (Friday), pp. 27-28 / Study “Life is in the Word made flesh,” 9/Nov/2023 (Thursday), pp. 21-22\] *1396 - “167 But, in obedience, this little faith Woman, that lives by faith, the Bride; the person here, there; here, off somewhere else, some other church, some other denomination, whatever it is, in some not...Believes the Word of God,* ***obedient, waiting in love,*** *for the promise of the age to be confirmed. She is watching for it. She is part of that Word, and She is watching for Her life to manifest that Word.* *Brethren, can’t you see that? I hope that didn’t go over you.* *The Body is waiting for (which is the Word), waiting for the Life (which is the Spirit)...”* \[JBP\] And there on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone, and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**in flesh**».* *1396- “\[167\] ...(which is the Spirit) to confirm or make It alive. That’s what She is waiting for.* ***No other life will work in Her. She can’t come to life any other way.*** *Yet, She feels it out there, and She knows it’s going to happen; then here it happens, then She wakes up* (\[JBP\] and he draws a little Cornerstone on the left)*. God said, ‘Let there be,’ and She came forth like the first one come forth.”* \[JBP\] There, above that part that’s on the right, of that paragraph that continues, above, he writes in the margin: *\[WSS\] «**for the Spirit to confirm it, make it alive**»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Waiting like Ruth**»*. And in paragraph 1396, that paragraph, above that paragraph, at the beginning, it says: *\[WSS\] «**Waiting for the promise of this age to be confirmed**»*. And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**For every age and dispensation God has…**»*. Also there, in “waiting in love,” where it says: “obedient, waiting in love,” on the left, he draws a Star of David, and another Star of David on the right. On the part where it says… on top, on the right, where that paragraph continues, it says: “No other life will work in Her. She can’t come to life any other way,” there, on the left he also draws a Cornerstone and the ages. Now notice, here in the booklet, he also writes there, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**The Bride waiting for the Life \[the Spirit incarnate\] of the Word**»*. Because he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Bride waiting for the Life of the Word**»* (and next to it he writes) *\[WSS\] «**the Spirit incarnate**»*. That’s why he writes: *\[WSS\] «**in flesh**»* there, in the book of *Quotations*. \[JBP\] Now, on page 27 here, of this book of *Quotations*, he writes there: *\[WSS\] «**He fulfills every promise for His Church – in the 3rd dispensation**»*. And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. *\[WSS\] «**He fulfills every promise for His Church – in the 3rd dispensation**»*. And he also has a writing here, on page 45; he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**What the Bride is awaiting: for God to confirm, to fulfill, the promise of this age**»*. And he draws a Cornerstone. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say \[**“THE FIRSTBORN AND HIS BLESSING”**\]: \[WSS\] In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Church of Jesus Christ, is where the sons and daughters of God are born. Therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the end time would give birth to that Son of Christ; because Christ, through His Church, reproduces Himself in sons and daughters of God. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 107 of the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 933, it tells us: \[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed” p. 39, paras. 289-290\] \[Bible Study #271, 8/Jan/2023 (Sunday), p. 29\] *933 - “\[289\] Because it was revealed to him what the great Truth of Christ was.* *And today, people say, ‘It’s a denomination.’* *290 It’s Jesus Christ, the new Birth, revealed in you, that He has the preeminences, that He might express His Words. And anything that He’s promised in this last days, He can bring it to pass, through His Body as He’s working.”* \[JBP\] There on the left, at the bottom, he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. And on the right, in the margin, he draws a Star of David. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**last days**»*. And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The new birth. He fulfills every promise through His Body**»*. \[JBP\] Now, those 25 years, notice, are fulfilled… Notice, from ‘74 to now…, already from ‘75, start from that decade of 2000 already, around 2000, 2002, all of that; those are very important dates, in which something was happening in the midst of the Church. Now, the Word which was brought by Reverend William Branham, which was spoken to the Church-Bride, notice, that Word of promise was also being fulfilled in him, which was spoken to the Church-Bride; and because that Word was spoken, well, It then had to materialize. The fulfillment of a promise cannot come unless that Word is spoken. Therefore, the Son couldn’t have been born before the Word was spoken to the Church-Bride; therefore, he had to be born after the Word of Reverend William Branham was spoken. That’s why he said: \[WMB\] “I won’t die of old age until he is here.”\* Who? That Word-Son who would be born to the Church. Therefore, he had not been born yet, because the Word had not been spoken to the Church-Bride yet. See what Divine Knowledge is? Now… And He was born 9 years later. \*\[**63-1229E** - “Look Away To Jesus,” p. 7, paras. 50-52\] \[JBP\] Now, notice, in a writing here he also tells us, on page 29 of the Notes, here in the book of ***Quotations***, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**He fulfills every promise through His Bride**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE FIRSTBORN AND HIS BLESSING”**\]: \[WSS\] And now, this is what it means to be born in the Kingdom of Christ. At the end time, this Firstborn of Christ would be born in His Church, the heavenly Israel… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of ***The Ages*** it tells us, on page 186 \[p. 171 in Eng.\] (it’s page 188 of the red one here), it tells us there: The first son (Adam) was the spoken seed-Word of God. He was given a bride to reproduce himself. That is why the bride was given to him, to reproduce himself; to produce another son of God. But she fell. She fell by hybridization. She caused him to die. **The second Son (Jesus), also a spoken Seed-Word** of God was given a bride like as was Adam. But before He could marry her, she also had fallen. She, like Adam’s wife, was put to the test whether she would believe the Word of God and live, or doubt the Word and die. She doubted. She left the Word. She died. \[JBP\] There on the left he draws the ages. In this other book, above…, where it says: “The second Son (Jesus), also a spoken Seed-Word,” and above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Theophany**»*. And on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Jesus**»*. **From a little group** of the true seed of the Word, God will present Christ with a beloved bride. She is a virgin of His Word. She is a virgin because she knows no man-made creeds or dogmas. \[JBP\] There on the right he drew a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone and he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Bride**»*. And on the left of - where it says: “From a little group,” on the left, here in the blue one, is where he draws… or writes: *\[WSS\] «**the 2nd Mary**»*. He goes on to say: By and through the members of the bride (\[JBP\] and there on the left he writes): *\[WSS\] «**by the Bride**»* will be fulfilled all that was promised of God to be made manifest in the virgin. \[JBP\] And above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**A Word-Son**»*. And in this other book he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Tent Cathedral**»* (hehe). And here, in the red book, he writes upwards: *\[WSS\] «**God made flesh**»*. The word of promise came to the virgin Mary. But that Word of promise was He, Himself (\[JBP\] here in the blue one he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Mary = The Bride**»*, to be made manifest. God was made manifest. He, Himself, acted at that time and fulfilled His own Word of promise in the virgin. It was an angel that had brought her the message. But the angel’s message was the Word (\[JBP\] and on the side he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Gabriel**»* of God. Isaiah 9:6 (\[JBP\] and he writes on the left): *\[WSS\] «**Jesus = His Angel**»*. He fulfilled at that time all that was written of Him because she accepted His Word to her. \[JBP\] There in that paragraph is where he writes upwards: *\[WSS\] «**God made flesh**»*. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE FIRSTBORN AND HIS BLESSING”**\]: \[WSS\] … in other words, he would obtain the new birth, he would be born into the Kingdom of Christ. And that heavenly theophanic spirit that gave John the revelation of the book of Revelation, called the Angel of Jesus Christ, would be in human flesh, manifested in a veil of flesh; and then He will be manifested in a glorified body of flesh, glorified flesh, which will be the new body that he is to receive at the Last Day, when he is adopted. \[JBP\] Remember that the transformation depends on the adoption and upon the adoption. And he used to tell us that: \[WSS\] “the adoption is one thing and the transformation is another thing.”\* Therefore, no messenger was transformed while he was alive. \*\[Study “A Higher Dimension: The Age of the Cornerstone,” 14/Oct/2023 (Saturday), p. 6 / Bible Study #407, 28-2/Apr/2024 (Sunday), p. 41\]: **1977-05-08 “Be comforted in these Words”** Because notice, the only one…; besides Jesus, whose Work continued and who later resurrected, after three days, was Jesus; and then, the second one is that dispensational Angel Messenger, whose Work keeps going; and his body, notice, returns…: he says there (of Revelation 11) that “they will stand upon their feet;” notice, that ministry was already adopted there; and notice how he returns there: the same way Jesus returned, but then with an eternal and glorified body. None of the messengers fulfilled that Word, that Scripture. Therefore, that Word-Son is in the midst of the Church-Bride at this end time. As simple as that. “**GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM.”** Let’s stand, and thus leave in this subject: **“GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM,”** our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
