Perez*\] Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present; it is truly a great blessing and privilege to be here on this Resurrection morning, here in Cayey, Puerto Rico, today, Sunday, April 20, of this year 2025. Greetings to missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin there in Monterey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, in the congregation that Reverend Epifanio Lopez pastors, all the brethren there: may God bless them greatly; and also all those connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite on this occasion. Greetings also to Reverend Luis Riquelme there in San Bernardo, Chile, whose birthday is today: may God bless him greatly. And to all those whose birthdays are around these days, like our brother Bruno, whose birthday was recently too: may God bless him; and may He also bless his family, who came here, his parents; as well as Lorena’s parents, her mother; and other people who are here in Puerto Rico this morning, like our brother, Reverend Jose Hernandez, from Chile; also Reverend Chamon, Ramon Abreau, from Santo Domingo, and other people who are visiting us, which were already mentioned. You are all welcome on this occasion. Today is a day of joy, of victory, where we remember that day of our Lord’s Resurrection. The sacred Scriptures tell us in the Gospel according to Matthew, in chapter 28, verse 1 and on, where it tells us: **Matthew 28:1** *1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.* *2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.* *3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:* \[JBP\] A Star of David there on the right. *4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.* *5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.* *6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.* *7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.* *8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.* *9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.* *10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.* **EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Saturday, November 22, 2014* *Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia* **Scripture: Amos 8:11-13 / John 6:53-58** \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the Gospels, each one of them narrates a bit of the story of what happened on that glorious morning of the Lord’s Resurrection. And in Luke, in chapter 24, verse 1, there it narrates that there were two angels. Notice, Matthew speaks to us of one Angel, and here in Luke it says: chapter 24, verse 1: **Luke 24:1** *1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.* \[JBP\] Above that he writes: *\[WSS\] «**6 - 9 a.m. = the 4th watch**».* And a small Cornerstone on the left. *2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.* *3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.* *4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:* \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Men**»*, and a Star of David. *5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?* *6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,* *7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.* *8 And they remembered his words,* *9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.* *10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.* *11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in the Gospel according to John, it gives us other details there. Verse… chapter 20, verse… verse 1 and on, says: **John 20:1** *1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre* (\[JBP\] meaning, when the day was breaking)*, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.* *2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved* (\[JBP\] meaning, John)*, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.* *3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.* *4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre* (\[JBP\] that is, John, he arrived first)*.* *5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.* *6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,* \[JBP\] Now, in the unedited book of “THE AGES,” brother Branham gives us a very great revelation as to why one went in and the other didn’t; but we’ll be seeing that soon… Now, it goes on to say: *6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,* *7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.* *8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.* *9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.* \[JBP\] And there on the left, he draws a Star of David. Now, the other disciple went in then, meaning, John. *10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.* *11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,* *12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.* \[JBP\] There he draws a Star of David. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 11:3-7, 14:14-20**».* \[JBP\] Those Angels were the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which had been seen on Mount Transfiguration speaking to Jesus about Jesus’ departure to Jerusalem \[Mt. 17:1-8, Mr. 9:2-8, Lk. 9:28-36\]. In the adoption of Jesus, Moses and Elijah were present. Therefore, they had to be present in that final trajectory of the Work that He was going to carry out on Calvary’s Cross; and they also had to do with the Resurrection. *13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.* *14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.* \[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David. She hadn’t realized that it was Jesus. *15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.* *16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.* *17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.* \[JBP\] And there he draws a Star of David on the right. \[JBP\] Now look, in Matthew we saw there, that the women, in verse 9 of chapter 28, held Him by the feet and worshiped Him; at that point they did touch Him, they could touch Him; He had already - He had already presented Himself before the Father. In other words, all of that happened back-to-back. Here John shows us a bit before that, and they couldn’t touch Him then. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, Revelation 11 shows us that this time they won’t be buried; and they will not let him…, in other words, they will not be able to take him to… as we say, “to have a Christian burial,” rather they will leave him lying there; because notice, in Matthew, in chapter 28, where we are reading, where we read at the beginning, in verse 11, it continues: **Matthew 28:11** *11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.* \[JBP\] They had seen it there. Doesn’t it say, where we read, that they were left astonished by everything they had seen? In other words, they were witnesses of the Lord’s Resurrection. But the unbeliever, no matter whatever he sees or what he sees, he is still an unbeliever. *12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel* (\[JBP\] meaning, they had come to an agreement)*, they gave large money unto the soldiers,* *13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.* \[JBP\] Notice what a lie!; because the devil is a liar from the beginning; he is a murderer and a liar. There you’re seeing the serpent’s trail, which began in the Garden of Eden. *14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.* *15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught* (\[JBP\] see? Because of the leaders)*: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.* \[JBP\] Now, Revelation 11, it will not allow (the law at that time) for them to be buried; therefore, it will be a worldwide testimony of the Resurrection of the Two Olive Trees. And remember that Revelation 11 is the same as Revelation 19: which is the Coming of the Lord. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, in Amos, chapter 8…, which is the Scripture that Dr. William Soto read to us here in this message, along with John 5 - John 6:53 and on; but let’s read Amos, chapter 8, verse 11; it says: **Amos 8:11** *11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:* *12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.* *13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.* *14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother Branham in the message **“MODERN EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY,”** he tells us about all those Scriptures that Jesus was fulfilling, which are going to be repeated in a present-day manner at this end time; and he tells us on page 35 of this version, paragraph 274, he says: \[**65-1206** - “Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy,” pp. 36-38, paras. 274-288\] *274 Am not I, tonight, trying to tell you, Word by Word (even to the position, the place, the names, the numbers, everything else, and all the signs, times, and everything), that we’re right here at the end time? Surely you can see what I’m talking about. See? Look! That’s so plain it should need no more identification. He said, when He was here on earth, “Search the Scriptures, in Them you think you have Eternal Life, They are what…They testify what I am,” see, “Who I am.”* *275 Notice, He begin with Moses the prophet, “A prophet…” Deuteronomy 18:15, I’m watching the Scriptures here, Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses said, “The Lord your God…”* *276 See, God spoke to him on top of the mountain. And, oh, my, the thundering; they said, “Let—let the Lord…Let Moses speak, not God, lest we perish.”* *277 He said, “They said well. I’ll…I won’t speak to them no more like this, but I’ll raise them up a prophet.” And that’s been His message all the way through. That’s what’s got to settle the whole thing at the end. It’s just got to, because the Word of the Lord has to come to the prophet. It’s the only thing It can come to. If it don’t, it breaks God’s Word and makes Him tell something wrong.* \[JBP\] See? Because Amos 3:7 says: “Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets unto His servants, His prophets.” Now, why “shall they wander from sea to sea,” it says there in Amos, in chapter 8, which we read? Because they will have lost sight of the Word; and where they have to look for It —as it has always been from age to age— is in a messenger, in an instrument. *\[277\] See? It’ll never go to a seminary. It goes to a prophet* (\[JBP\] nor to organizations, nor to groups; It goes to a man)*. And the prophet is sent from God, ordained. And how you know it is, and not what the man says…* *278 We’ve had Elijahs, and coats, and everything else, and mantels, and all kinds of nonsense, and went off into organizationism and everything else.* *279 But there will come on this earth, by God’s promise, a genuine servant of God, identified by God (by His Word being the answer of this day), that’ll set the Bride in order (a real little minority of the church) and take It up* (\[JBP\] meaning, in a rapture)*. That’s right! He’ll introduce, “Behold, there’s the One I talked about, see, that’ll come.”* \[JBP\] In other words, he is putting him in the future, that servant of God who would arise, identified by God, to put the Church in order. There he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the left. *280 And all that the prophets had said about Him, and for this age, why it sure would be interesting to have heard Him say that. Wouldn’t you like to have heard Him say it? “All the prophets said about…” Remember, He said what the prophets would say about Himself, quoting His Own Self, what He had said (and He was the Word); quoting.* \[JBP\] In other words, Jesus quoting the Scriptures; of which, in the Gospel according to Luke, in chapter 24, it speaks to us about that talk which He had with those who went to Emmaus; which brother Branham is going to speak to us a little bit about here; he says: *281 Now let’s listen to the Words that He quoted. Would you like to hear what He said to them? Let’s just carry their conversation now, just before we stop.* *282 Now, they were briefed on all the late happenings of the crucifixion, of the story at the grave and the tomb, and the women had seen Him, and another one said they seen Him, and so forth. He said…They—they briefed Him on that.* \[JBP\] Meaning, those who were walking; you already know that story: *“Don’t You know? Are you unaware of what happened? That Jesus was condemned, crucified… Although some women apparently saw Him.”* And they had that conversation with Jesus there, not knowing it was Jesus. *\[282\] They—they briefed Him on that. And He goes right on with the Word about…quoting Himself through the Word:* \[JBP\] Because the Word made flesh (which was the Word in John, chapter 1, verse 1), that He was the Word, by coming in human flesh in the Person of Jesus, what was Jesus going to do? Quote the Word; because He was the Word; and He had to identify Himself with the Word. And he, brother Branham, starts to speak here about what Jesus was telling him there, having that conversation. *\[282\] “Now look in Zechariah 12.” (He must have quoted Zechariah 11:12.) “For He was sold with thirty pieces of silver. Was not the Messiah supposed to be sold by thirty pieces of silver?* “*In Psalms 41:9, He was betrayed by His friends. See?* “*Zechariah 13:7, forsaken by His disciples.* “*In Psalms 35:11, accused by false witnesses.* \[JBP\] Now, all of this is being repeated again today in a present-day manner; the characters start to get into those positions where those Scriptures were pointing to those who were against the First Coming of the Lord; and today it’s the equivalent. In other words, they are making history, and later, in the Millennium, the characters will be seen; just as they were seen here, and in the Sacred Scriptures, the characters of the First Coming of the Lord were seen; both those who were in favor of the Lord, believers in the Lord, as well as those who were against. History repeats itself. We are making history today. Now, which side of history are you on today? In other words, everything that is happening, live and in full color, is the history that will later be read and will be preached, regarding what happened at the Second Coming of the Lord. Woe unto those who are taking those positions! But they are already destined for that. *\[282\] “In Psalms 35:11, accused by false witnesses.* “*By Isaiah 35:7, dumb before His accusers, never opened His mouth.” (All right, sir.)* “*Isaiah 50:6, He was scourged.* “*Psalms 22—22, He cried at the cross, ‘My God, why has Thou forsaken Me?’ ‘All My bones they stare at Me.’ ‘They pierced My hands and My feet.’” (Look at the prophecies He could talk about!)* “*Isaiah 9:6, ‘Unto us a Child is born,’ ‘A virgin shall conceive,’” so forth.* “*And also in Psalms 22:18, they—they—they parted His garments among them.* “*In Isaiah 7:14, ‘A virgin shall conceive.’* “*Psalms 22:78, maybe…mocked by His enemies (His, supposed to be His friends), His enemies, the church.* “*In Psalms 22 again, He was…not a bone was to be broken, but they pierced His hands and His feet.* “*Isaiah 53:12, died with malefactors.* “*In Isaiah 53:9, bruised, and buried with the rich brother.* “*In Psalms 16:10, He was resurrected from the dead. David said so, ‘I will not suffer My Holy One to see corruption, neither will I leave His soul in hell.’ He was raised from the dead.* “*Malachi 3, John the Baptist was His forerunner.”* *283 And all of the types He might have went to! Even to Isaac being the type of Him upon Mount…upon the mountain where his father Abraham took him, in Genesis 22.* *284 It was now that they begin to see Who had fulfilled these Scriptures that was promised of that day. It was then, after it was late. They begin to see, “Oh! Well, wait a minute! You know what?” They knew then that their crucified Friend, Jesus, was that Prophet that was promised. They knew because…See, they hadn’t been briefed on the Scriptures.* *285 “But, here, all these things that’s supposed to happen at the cross, all these things. Fools, slow of heart to understand all the prophets have said; how that the Messiah shall suffer, and enter in His glory, and raise the third day.”* *286 Still they go, “Oh, yeah. That’s right. I say He—He…Did not our hearts burn within us?” they said. No wonder their hearts burned! The prophecies that He was giving that was fulfilled.* *287 Then they begin to understand that their Friend, the Man that they eat with, talked with, associated with, fished with, laid in the woods, that that fulfilled every Word of the promised hour!* \[JBP\] Meaning that later, when they see all those Scriptures: “Wait, but this was truly the One!” But for some it will be too late. *\[287\] There it was. They had walked six miles, it seemed a very short time, I suppose, and they had heard a six-hour sermon on vindicated prophecy (a little longer than what we’ve had tonight, see). It was now getting kind of late in the evening time, the evening Lights had come.* *288 It’s the same time now, church! The evening Lights has come! Hebrews 13:8, “He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Oh, events made clear by prophecy, same as today. The evening Light promised by the prophet of God, in Zechariah 14:7, may again open the true believer’s eyes to the events that’s taking place today…* \[JBP\] Now, everything that happened in the First Coming of the Lord, in His Second Coming there are also —from Genesis to the book of Revelation— Scriptures that indicate and those prophets give those prophecies regarding the Second Coming of the Lord; because that Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord, has been announced since Genesis.\* \*\[*The Seals*, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 521, paras. 77-79\] Therefore, that conversation will be repeated again, and what happened will then be spoken of. They will be prophecies that will be made known to mankind, where everything that was said to happen to the Second Coming of the Lord, that would be made known; but there will no longer be time there for salvation then. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice, he tells us in the message: “THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”… Because notice, after He carried out that Work at Calvary’s Cross, the Work of God wouldn’t stop there. He would be on the Father’s Throne, making intercession under the Dispensation of Grace for all those who would receive Him as their Savior; meaning, He would carry out a work. Now, look, in this message that was preached on October 4, 2009 in Goiânia, Brazil, Dr. William Soto says: **THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, October 4, 2009* *Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil* So, we are in a very, very important time. Everything that is taking place in Heaven has been reflected on Earth in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever is happening at the incense altar, where that Angel takes…, who is a main priest of the heavenly Temple, will be happening in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, where someone will be the representation of that Angel who takes the censer in Heaven to take the prayers of the saints before the presence of God. \[JBP\] Did you hear that? Now look, that is in Revelation, chapter 8. Because at this end time, with the opening of the Seventh Seal, after He left the Throne of Intercession and the Door of the Dispensation of Grace is shut, there is a work that is being carried out; which shows us here: that all those things that are happening there with that Angel are shown on Earth, there has to be a representation on Earth; and it must be a prophet, and it must be a dispensational one. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he says in Revelation, chapter 8: **Revelation 8:1** *1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.* *2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.* *3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.* *4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.* *5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.* \[JBP\] \[On\] that Throne, there can no longer be mercy with thundering, lightning, and all that, rather, it is a Throne of Judgment; on Earth it is the Throne of Judgment. And just as in the Dispensation of Grace the Throne of Mercy was Jesus, the Throne of Judgment in His Second Coming is the manifestation of that Angel who was different from the rest\*, of the Seventh Seal, which the Seventh Seal contains: the Coming of the Lord. \*\[*The Seals*, “The Seventh Seal,” pp. 545-546, paras. 275-282\] \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on page 325 \[p. 372 in Eng. (Fifth Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***, Reverend William Branham tells us: \[440\] Now, if there is no altar of sacrifice in Heaven, where is the Sacrifice for sin laying then, the Lamb? There has to be a place where that slain Lamb, bloody, is laying there, where the Blood…it. 441 Now, the incense was the odors, odorous stuff that they burnt, which the Bible said was “the prayers of the saints.” \[JBP\] Above that paragraph, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**If there isn’t Blood on the Altar, prayers don’t reach there**».* Now, there is a way for them to reach there. \[441\] If there isn’t no sacrifice on the altar, then the prayers cannot be received. It’s only by the Blood, on the sacrificial altar, that lets the prayers go through to God. \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 8:1-5**»*, upwards on the right. And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the left. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, Dr. William Soto continues saying here \[**“THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”**\]: \[WSS\] … and, surely, that Angel (\[JBP\] meaning, that Angel of Revelation 8) will also be in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and we can’t explain too much there to avoid completely opening that mystery. But remember: everything that will be happening in Heaven, where Christ (the Lamb of God, who becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah) takes the Seven-Sealed Book out of the right hand of God, all of that will then be reflected in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will receive that opened Seven-Sealed Book and will have It in Her midst. \[JBP\] That Book is the Lamb’s Book of Life, where the names of God’s elect are written; and also the other section, where the names of those who can be blotted out are written. Now, by the Book being in the midst of His Church, that vision that was shown to Reverend William Branham, where he saw a White Throne, and the recording Angel with the Book, shows us that the roll call is being made from this dimension. There is a place in *The Ages* where he says that \[WMB\] “there’s a roll call in the rapture,” and a writing.\* \*\[*The Ages*, “The Sardisean Church Age,” p. 286 / Bible Study #170, 21/Jan/2022 (Friday), pp. 6-7: *\[WSS\] «**Roll is called in the rapture**».*\] Now notice, because just like you have a list of guests for a dinner, well, to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, there is a list; and the roll call is done, and the soul of each elect is sealed as “present,” “present,” “present”: “This one is here √, this one is here √, this one is here √”; meaning, “confirmed √.” In activities, don’t they have a person…? Whether it’s a wedding: *“Look, you’re going to… Here’s the list, here are the numbers, and several days before you’re going to call and confirm their attendance.”* The One who has the Book is calling each elect of God to confirm their presence at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And at this end time they have already been confirming their attendance at that Supper. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on page 79… Let’s see if I already found - if they already found the part about… It’s in *Ages*; on page 382, let’s see here… of ***The Seals***. On 380, there he speaks to us about that vision of the Throne of Jesus and the Angel; look, he says \[P. 436\]: 452 I want to tell you a little thing happened. This was a dream. I was asleep. And I have never told this publicly before. (...) 453 I—I dreamed, about a month after that, that I was standing, one day, and I was watching the great time that… (...) But, I was there when the crowns was being given out, see. And the great—great big Throne set up here. And Jesus and the recording Angel, and all, was standing there (\[JBP\] he writes on the left): *\[WSS\] «**the Angel of Jesus**»*. And there … \[JBP\] Remember that everything that is happening in that dimension has to have an equivalent here on Earth, which is being carried out before its total fulfillment. *Ages* 318, edited or unedited? Edited? Let’s… let’s finish here in the book of ***The Seals***: \[453\] And there was a stair steps, like, come down this way, of white ivory; run down, a circle, made a panoramic like this, and went out, so that all this great host standing out there could see what was happening. 454 And I would stand back over, way back to one side. And I was just standing there, never an idea I had to walk them steps. I was standing there. I’d see… 455 The recording Angel would call a certain name; and I would know, recognize that name. I looked, and way back out there, here come the brother, walking with a sister, walked up to you, like that. The recording Angel standing there by the side of Christ, (just a dream now), and was watching. And their name was on there, it was found in the Book of Life (\[JBP\] see? Now, later on we’ll see who has that Book); He would look out over them, and say, “It was—it was well done, My good and faithful servant. Now enter in.” 456 I looked back, where they was going. There was a new world, and the joys. And said, “Enter into the joys of the Lord, that’s been—that’s been for yours since the foundation of the world.” See? And, oh, I thought…They’d go through there, and meeting one another, and just rejoicing, and going over mountains and great big place. 457 But I thought, “Oh, isn’t that wonderful! Glory! Hallelujah!” Just jumping up-and-down! 458 Then I would hear another name called (\[JBP\] and above he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the Angel**»*. I think, “Oh, I know him. I know him. I…There, there he goes, there.” Watch him like that. “Enter into the joys of the Lord, My good and…” \[JBP\] Now, those who have been against the Divine Program will not be there; meaning, against the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord. In this other book (I searched for it to check), there on that page 380, on the left upwards, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Jesus**».* And on another line: *\[WSS\] «**The Recording Angel**».* *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 1:1, 7:2, 10:8.11**».* \[JBP\] There we are already seeing who that Angel is. \[458\] Then I would hear another name called. I think, “Oh, I know him. I know him. I…There, there he goes, there.” Watch him like that. “Enter into the joys of the Lord, My good and…” “Oh,” I’d say, “praise God! Praise God!” Just say, for instance, like they say, “Orman Neville,” see (\[JBP\] he was the pastor there of the Branham Tabernacle). 459 And then I’d say, “That’s old Brother Neville. There he is.” See? And here he comes, out of the crowd, goes up. 460 Now He say, “Enter into the joys of the Lord, that’s been prepared for you since before the foundation of the world. Enter in.” \[JBP\] Now notice, at the bottom on page 380, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**He will adopt a Son, His Angel, and will give Him the Title Deed**».* \[460\] And old Brother Neville just change, and just start back in there, just screaming and hollering. 461 Boy, I just shout and say, “Glory to God!” Standing over here by myself, having a wonderful time, watching my brethren go in. 462 And a recording Angel (\[JBP\] “a recording Angel”) stood there, and said, “William Branham.” \[JBP\] There on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 10:1-11**».* 463 I never thought I’d have to walk that. So then I was scared. I thought, “Oh, my! Will I have to do that?” So I went walking down there. And just everybody patting me on the—the… “Hi, Brother Branham! God bless you, Brother Branham!” \[JBP\] How beautiful that will be! When we are there, at that Supper that has been prepared for us. And we will say: *“It was worth it, it was worth it to fight! It was worth it to persevere! It was worth it to keep moving forward! Despite everything we went through, we are here.”* \[463\] Patting me as I go along, through a great big crowd of people. And all of them reaching over and patting me like that. “God bless you, brother! God bless you, brother!” 464 I was going. I said, “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” Like coming out of a meeting, or something, you know. \[JBP\] And he continues narrating there. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] But let’s go to ***The Ages***, where he tells us that \[WMB\] there’s a roll call in the rapture; 318, but it should be this one…, let’s see here… If you can send me the - the little part where it starts, because I brought the one that is… where the pages are consecutive. Let’s see if it’s 321… 320 at the bottom, turning to 321, of this - of this version; he says \[P. 285\]: Thus the grain of wheat that became a plant for the harvest (\[JBP\] and he writes there): *\[WSS\] «**the wheat**»* is the record of the church. And even as not all the wheat plant is wheat seed, and as not all the plant is used in the harvest, so with the church: — all the church is not the bride, and neither is it all given eternal life, but a PART of it is gathered into the garner, and a PART of it is kept that it might enter into eternal life in the second resurrection (\[JBP\] those belong to the foolish virgins), and PART of it which is accounted chaff is burned in the lake of fire. And this is exactly what John the Baptist and Jesus said, for John said that the wheat would be garnered and the chaff burned. Jesus said, “Bind the tares, and then gather the wheat.” The ecumenical move will bind the tare churches together, for the tares must be bound FIRST, and though their end is burning, they are not burned at their binding but are reserved to a later date, which is at the end of the thousand years, or the second resurrection. But once the tares are bound the rapture can take place and does so at some time between the binding and the revelation of antichrist. Then will come the day when ALL stand together as seen in Daniel \[7:10\]. \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Rapture once the tares are gathered**»*. \[JBP\] And let’s see if it is also here… It should be in the other one, that he writes that writing of… *\[WSS\] «in the rapture the roll call happens»* or *«**there’s a roll call in the rapture**»*, that is what he wrote there. Let's see here… I should be close to that part here; but this book is the one… the one where the pages are consecutive. He continues to say \[***The Ages***\] \[P. 285\]: The King will be there with His bride and in front of them will be the multitudes who are to be judged. Yes. ALL are there. All the books are opened. A final disposition of ALL is made. The harvest is indeed over. The books once opened are closed. \[JBP\] Above that, notice, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Judgment = the spiritual one, after the 7th age**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And further below… Look, it’s in this same one; it’s because I had his post-it there, on top. Now look, that’s how the veil is: until it’s pulled back, you can’t see what is beyond it. A bit further on he says \[***The Ages***\] \[P. 286\]: The Great Shepherd is calling His sheep by name. The creative voice of God is calling them forth from the dust or changing their atoms even though they had not fallen asleep. It is the rapture. It is the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb and His bride. But the rapture is not the only roll call. There at the second resurrection, at the great White Throne judgment, will names be confessed before the Father and His angels. Now I have been told by those who know, that the sweetest sound to a human ear is the sound of that person’s name. \[JBP\] Of course! Because imagine, you being called by name, how? By the Word. And automatically you say: *“Well, my name is being mentioned there.”* And there he writes at the bottom: *\[WSS\] «**There’s a roll call in the Rapture**».* And on the left, upward: *\[WSS\] «**Resurrection, Transformation and Rapture**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, that Book that was taken…, which, that Seventh Seal is opened in chapter 8. Notice, on page 79 of the book of *The Seals*…; and let’s have this one open too, to see what is written there, and this other one too; let’s have three witnesses. Now, he says: “... the Lamb been slain…” Page 79 \[p. 94 in Eng. (The Breach…)\] from the book of ***The Seals***: \[198\] For every sinner, the Lamb been slain. How can Jehovah see anything but that bloody Lamb standing there! 199 And the Lamb proceeded out into the vision now, as It had been slain. Notice, come from the Father’s Throne (\[JBP\] there on the right he writes): *\[WSS\] «**Father’s Throne**»*. Oh, think! He, where did He advance from, to this vision? He come from Glory, where He is seated at the right hand of God. He advanced forth, to John, out of Glory. \[JBP\] Now, remember that Stephen saw Heaven opened, and he saw Jesus sitting at the Father’s right hand. Stephen’s eyes were opened there to see, for Stephen to look beyond the curtain of time. Now, notice that at this end time, God’s elect will be seeing beyond the curtain of time; and also beyond the curtain, which is the veil; and will be able to see that Throne…, in other words, on that Throne they will be able to see the One who is sitting as Judge. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, let’s see there in Acts, chapter 7. After… The Acts - Acts, chapter 7. After that powerful Message that Stephen was speaking there, and how they…; because he was quoting the Scriptures to them; he made them (let’s say) a summary of everything. And in verse 54, he says: **Acts 7:54** *54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.* \[JBP\] They were furious! Because there is nothing more terrible to the enemy of God —which is the devil— than the Word; that shakes them to the core. And there he draws a Star of David on the right. *55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,* *56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.* \[JBP\] And the right hand is the power. And likewise, every son and daughter of God at this end time can say the same thing: *“I see the Heavens opened, I see that Eternal Age, and I see the Son of man standing at the right hand of God”*; but no longer as Lamb, but as Lion, as Judge. *57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,* \[JBP\] Notice how the Word… He wasn’t doing anything to them. They were abusive! If it was all of them against one! All he was doing was preaching; but since that Word discerns and pierces (as Paul says) the thoughts, the heart’s intent \[Hebrews 4:12\], he was exposing them, unmasking them. From everything he had preached, they identified themselves as those who were against the Divine Program in every time, and now they were there; he was pointing them out, he was putting them in their corresponding position in the Scriptures. And to them that was terrible; they covered their ears; but all he was doing was preaching. *58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.* \[JBP\] There he draws a Star of David on the right. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Saul**».* *59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.* \[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David on the right. *60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.* \[JBP\] Now, that great and powerful Message that Stephen preached there, and that revelation that God gave us through him there, would be fulfilled in a present-day manner at this end time. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, our brother Branham continues to say on page 79 \[***The Seals***\]: 200 Oh, would not it be a glorious thing if our sinful thoughts… \[JBP\] Or a bit before, to continue where we paused. \[199\] He come from Glory, where He is seated at the right hand of God. He advanced forth, to John, out of Glory. 200 Oh, would not it be a glorious thing if our sinful thoughts, tonight, could be laid aside long enough to accept Him, and He would advance all the way from Glory, tonight, to make Hisself known to any of you! 201 The Lamb advancing from Glory, for intercessions, all right, to make claims now for His redemption! \[JBP\] And here he draws a Star of David (in *this* one) on the right, and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. And in *this* one he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «**The Claim**»*, and he draws a Star of David as well. \[201\] Remember, He had been on His mediatorial work back here. But, remember, these Seals are ready to be opened, and the Lamb come from the sanctuary of God, advanced forward. 202 Wait till we get over there, that one hour, take that “one-half hour” that It’s silent. The sanctuary is smoking. There is no more intercession. The Sacrifice has left. It’s a Judgment Seat (\[JBP\] on the right he writes there): *\[WSS\] «**Judgment**»* (\[JBP\] and here he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the ½ hour of silence**»*. There is no Blood on it no more, for the Blood-covered Lamb has walked away. Don’t you wait till that time. \[JBP\] Here on the left, upwards, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**½ hour of silence = smoke in the Sanctuary**».* And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 8:1-5**».* Remember in the Old Testament? As long as the blood was off the mercy seat, it was judgment; but as long as the blood was on there, there was mercy. But when the Lamb walked away, that did it! (\[JBP\] here, in this blue one, he writes on the left): *\[WSS\] «**Judgment Seat**»* (\[JBP\] and here, a Star of David on the right, in this other blue one.) 203 What’s He been? He has been an Intercessor. No other person! Tell me where Mary could make intercessions then. What could Mary offer? What could Saint Francis, Saint Assisi, or any, and Saint Cecilia, rather, or any other human being? John never saw a thousand saints come out from the mediatorial. “He saw a Lamb, a Lamb that had been slain, bloody.” I don’t care how many saints have been slain; they were all due it, every one of them. Like the thief said at the cross, “We’ve sinned, and we are due this. But this Man has done nothing.” He was the only Man that was worthy. 204 Here He come, from the intercessory box (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**the Father’s Throne**»* (\[JBP\] above that). What’s He coming for now? Watch Him! Oh, oh, oh, my! 205 John was weeping (\[JBP\] page 80). Where is it all—all at? What’s going to happen? 206 Said, “Don’t weep \[anymore\], John,” said the elder. “Here comes the Lion. He was the One prevailed.” When he looked, here come a Lamb, bloody, that had been slain. 207 Anything that’s killed is bloody. You know, it’s been killed. Its neck has been chopped open, or something. The blood is all over it. 208 Here come a Lamb, been slain. And He came forth, oh, my, (what?) to make His claims on His redemption. \[JBP\] And there on the right he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Claim**».* And above, where he says: “John was weeping,” there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 10:1-6**».* \[208\] Amen. Oh! Oh! I…Don’t you just feel like just going over in a corner, sit down and cry a while? Here come a Lamb, still bloody. John…There wasn’t nothing there; all the celebrity was standing around, but there was none of them could do it. So, here come the Lamb, now. His intercessory days is over, the mediatorial days. 209 That’s when this Angel is going to stand there. You wait till we get in the Seals. “And time shall be no more.” \[JBP\] Now, notice that this Angel, when the Seventh seal is opened, who offers with the prayers of the saints and goes up to the presence of God; on Earth, when that half hour of silence begins and the Seventh Seal is opened, and that Angel comes down from Heaven and says that “time shall be no more,” then on Earth there that equivalent has to appear, who is carrying out that Work in Heaven. \[209\] That’s right. That “half hour of silence.” Watch what takes place in that half hour of silence, when that Seventh Seal, next Sunday night, the Lord willing. \[JBP\] And he writes on the left, upwards, in this blue one: *\[WSS\] «**The half hour of silence of the 7th Seal**»*, that is, of the Coming of the Lord. And here on the right he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Half (½) hour of silence**».* And here he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Seals themselves**».* And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Future. Rev. 10:1-11**».* 210 He comes forth (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «**from the Father’s Throne**»* (what?) to take His claims now. Oh, my! Comes forth to take His claims! Now, He had done the Kinsman work. He had come down, become Man, died. He done the Kinsman work of redemption, but had not as yet called for His claim. Now He comes on the scene to claim His rights… \[JBP\] How? The way He did it in the First Coming of the Lord: by becoming flesh. And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Claim**»* on the right. \[210\] … (watch what takes place) oh, my, for which He was slain, for as becoming a Kinsman to man, to die in his place, to redeem him. But, the elder was right when he said He was a “Lion,” see. The elder called Him, said, a “Lion.” Because, He had been a Lamb, an Intercessor, a bloody Lamb, but now He is coming forth as a Lion. His days of intercession is over. 211 “Let him that’s filthy be filthy still. Let him that’s righteous be righteous still. Let him that’s holy be holy still.” The thing is closed. Oh, brother! Then what? Then what? 212 And, remember, it comes at the seventh church age, when the mysteries of God will be opened up. \[JBP\] On the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Him that’s filthy**».* And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «**Lion**».* Now notice… And on the right he also writes, in this red one: *\[WSS\] «**The Elder was right**».* \[212\] Now watch real close. This is something you must **get** (\[JBP\] he circles and underlines “get”). Now, He had been doing His mediatorial work, making intercessions for the believer. For two thousand years He had been back there, a Lamb. Now He is stepping forth from Eternity, to take the title-deeded Book, and to break the Seals, and reveal the mysteries. When of it? At the end time. 213 Do you get it? All right, we’ll go on then. 214 Now, break the Seals and release all the mysteries to them, to the seventh angel, whose Message is to reveal all the mysteries of God (\[JBP\] and there on the right side he writes): *\[WSS\] «**7th dispensational Angel**»*. The mysteries of God lays in these Seven Seals. See? That’s what He said here. All the mysteries lays in these Seven Seals. 215 And the Lamb comes forth now, from being a Mediator between God and man. He becomes a Lion. And when He becomes a Lion, He takes the Book. That’s His rights. God has held It, the mystery, but now the Lamb comes. 216 Nobody could take the Book. It’s still in the hands of God. \[JBP\] There on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Lion**».* And below he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Lion – King**».* \[216\] No pope, priest, whatever might be, they can’t take (no) the Book. The Seven Seals hasn’t been revealed. See? 217 But when, the Mediator, when His work is done as an Intercessor, He comes forth. And John…The elder said, “He’s a Lion.” And He comes forth. Watch Him. Oh, my! See? He comes forth to take the Book, now watch, to reveal the mysteries of God, that others has guessed at, in all these denominational ages. \[JBP\] And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Elder said: Lion – King**»*, there in the margin. And also there, in the paragraph we just read: *\[WSS\] «**The denominational ages**»*, he writes there. 218 See, then, the seventh angel. If this Book, mysteries, is the Word of God, the seventh angel has to be a prophet, for the Word of God to come to (\[JBP\] what we were speaking about just now, from “MODERN EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY.” And there he draws a Star of David on the right). No priests, popes, or anything else, can get It; the Word don’t come to such. The Word of God comes only to a prophet, always. Malachi 4 promised such. And when he come forth, he would take the mysteries of God, where the church had got all scrupled up in all these denominations, “And restore the Faith of the children back to the fathers.” And then the world judgment would strike, and the earth would be burnt. And then the righteous would walk out upon the ashes of the wicked, in the Millennium. 219 Do you understand it now? All right. \[JBP\] And there he writes, on the left, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**The restoration. The Book of the 7 Seals is the Word of God**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] And Dr. William Soto continues to say here, in this message that we’re reading: **“THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”**: \[WSS\] Remember that It was - It is in the right hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne, therefore, It is in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple; and therefore, It has to come from the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple in the hand of Christ (\[JBP\] meaning, the Title) (the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven) to put It where? In His spiritual Temple, in the Most Holy Place, which is Its relevant place. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of *Quotations*, look, on page 50, paragraph 431, which is an excerpt (let’s see here) from the **unedited** book of **“THE AGES,”** which is on 562; and in the booklet it’s 48, let’s have it open here too. Meaning, there’s the booklet, there’s the - the portion from *Quotations*, and there’s also the unedited book of “THE AGES.” Now, he says… here it would be paragraph 233: \[**61-0101** - “Revelation, Chapter Four Part II,” p. 40, paras. 228-232\] 228 As we seen them, now, that was God’s Throne in Heaven, Moses patterned It on earth, was God’s Throne because His judgment seat was represented here on earth in the Holy of holy. God…All Israel come to that one place to find mercy, ’cause God only met under the shed blood. \[JBP\] He writes there in the booklet… he draws a Star of David. And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**God’s Throne, Judgment Seat – Most Holy Place**».* 229 Now, listen close. Then the Shekinah Glory raised from that mercy seat one day, and It settled on another Tabernacle (Amen!), this One, “The Father judges no man but He’s committed all judgment to the Son.” God’s Judgment Seat. Whew! “You speak against Me, it’ll be forgiven you,” speak another—another One coming, **another Mercy Seat**. “Speak…you speak against the Son of man, I will forgive you; but someday the Holy Spirit will come to dwell in the hearts of the people, one word against It will never be forgiven.” \[JBP\] And there he draws three circles, and also a Cornerstone, here in the book. And also here in the booklet he writes, on “another Mercy Seat,” he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Throne**».* And below he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Another Mercy Seat is coming**».* And upward he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah**».* \[JBP\] Meaning, he’s already identifying that other Mercy Seat there. And in the book of *Quotations* there, notice, in that paragraph, upward he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Judgment Seat = the Son**».* And under excerpt 431, he writes: *\[WSS\] «**1st Throne = in Heaven**».* *«**2nd Throne = Christ**».* *«**3rd Thone = man**».* And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Tabernacle**».* Now, he also writes some Scriptures there: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 10:8-11, 11:3-6**».* \[JBP\] Meaning that they are the ministries of Moses and Elijah. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, He said that He would come in His own Throne. Let’s see: page 115 \[p. 134 in Eng. (First Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***: 153 We all know, as Christians, that God swore to David that He would raise up Christ to sit on his Throne, and give Him an everlasting kingdom here on the earth. He did it. 154 And Jesus said, “He that overcomes the antichrist and all the things of the world, shall sit with Me on My Throne, as I have overcome and have sit down on My Father’s Throne.” See? 155 Now, someday He rises from the Father’s Throne, and goes to take His Own Throne. 156 Now He comes forth to call His subjects. How is He going to claim them? He’s already got the Book of Redemption in His hand. \[JBP\] We already know who has the Book, we already know who the Throne is, and we already know who will be carrying out that Claiming Work, who is fulfilling that prophecy. And on the left he writes: *\[WSS\] «**The Father’s Throne. The Son’s Throne**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he continues to say, a bit down here, on this page 562 \[**“THE AGES” unedited**\]: 230 It keeps getting more severe and more severe all the time, the judgment, ’cause God is continually wearing His patience out, trying to get sinners to come to Him to be reconciled. First, He was in the heavens above and shining through the stars. The second, He was on earth shining through the Shekinah Glory. Next, He come and was made flesh and dwelt among us, still wearing His patience. Then He redeemed man by His Blood, came into His Church in the form of the Holy Ghost, and speak against That it’s a finished thing, done. 231 Now you can see where the shaking come. Where the time, they don’t realize. People can’t comprehend what It means. 232 Now, the first Throne was in Heaven, judgment seat. The second Throne was in Christ. The third Throne is in man. \[JBP\] And that portion is the one that’s there in the book of *Quotations*, where we read those writings there, from page 50, paragraph 531. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, Dr. William Soto continues saying \[**“THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”**\]: \[WSS\] Being in the right hand of the One who is sitting on the Throne, It must come to the Lord’s Throne of His spiritual Temple; and the Lord’s Throne in the spiritual Temple, as it was in the tabernacle that Moses built and temple that Solomon built, is the Mercy Seat: a place of God’s presence… \[JBP\] Now, we have seen that Mercy Seat in this time: the ministries of Moses and Elijah. \[WSS\] … a place of God’s presence, from the midst of the Two Cherubim… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Because that’s what God told Moses. In chapter 25, look, verse 16 of Exodus, He says: **Exodus 25:16** *16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.* *17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.* *18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.* *19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.* *20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.* \[JBP\] In other words, those are the two which are the two cherubims of solid gold, the first ones that God commanded to be made in the tabernacle of Moses, which are the ones that are there on the lid upon the mercy seat, facing one another. That is, their wings like this, cover-… in front of them, and their faces looking toward the mercy seat \[Dr. JBP illustrates with his arms –Ed.\] And on the left here he draws a Star of David. *21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.* *22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat* \[JBP\] There he draws a Star of David, on the right. *22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.* \[JBP\] And here he writes, on the right he writes, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**God declares Himself to Moses from the Ark of the Covenant**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, in First Kings, chapter 6, verse… verse 11 - verse 12 says: **1 Kings 6:12** *12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:* *13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.* \[JBP\] There he draws a Star of David on the left. *14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.* *15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.* *16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.* \[JBP\] There he writes on the left, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**The Most Holy Place**».* *17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.* *18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.* *19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David on the left) *of the Lord.* *20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.* \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 8:1-5**».* *21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.* *22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.* *23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.* \[JBP\] Now notice, here he is putting two additional cherubim. Here in this other Bible he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Two Cherubim of Olive Wood**».* And here he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 11:3**».* There he is referring to Moses and Elijah: the ministries of the Two Olive Trees. *24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.* *25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.* \[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone. *26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.* *27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, in Second Chronicles, there it tells us something, something else, a few more details. Second Chronicles, chapter 3, verse 8, says: **2 Chronicles 3:8** *8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.* *9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.* *10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.* *11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.* *12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.* \[JBP\] Now notice what this verse says: *13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.* \[JBP\] The two small cherubim were facing downward, but these two were looking at the people. Look… I think it was in Honduras\*…, so that the children can perhaps have…, because the adults understand it; but look, it would be something like this: *this* is the mercy seat \[the pulpit\], *here* are the two small cherubims \[on the pulpit\] looking downward; but the big ones are like *this*, and the other one *here* \[he illustrates it with his own body, stretching out his arms\]; and they were looking… they were both looking at the people! \*\[Bible Study #499,16-2/Mar/2025 (Sunday), pp. \_\_-\_\_\] Those two giant cherubim represent the ministries of Moses and Elijah in the midst of the people, so that through those ministries, the prayers of God’s sons and daughters at this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, may reach the presence of God. Now, that mystery of the censer is something so, so great! That God is showing us the blessing that we have at this end time in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Most Holy Place; where those two cherubim of olive wood covered with gold there in the temple, or in the temple that Solomon built, which were added to the ones that were commanded of Moses, in the tabernacle that Moses built, but were not there before, now they are there in the temple of Solomon. Well, there must be that representation on Earth; after He left the Throne of Intercession, well, those two cherubim of olive wood must be on Earth. Wood represents humanity; therefore, those ministries must be incarnate in a man. And gold represents Divinity: it is God in that manifestation. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, it says that “their faces…”, verse 13: **2 Corinthians 3:13** *13 … and their faces were inward.* \[JBP\] In other words, every child of God at this end time, being aware that this Throne already turned into a Throne of Judgment, what he says at this end time is: *“Lord, look at me through those Eyes! Look at me through Moses and Elijah! Look at me through that Mercy Seat! So that I may receive mercy before You. I am still in this body, Lord; I am still in this body; so, always look at me through those Two Eyes.”* Those are God’s Binoculars. And that is why God sees His elect clean, justified, before the Heavenly Father! Because the Blood is inside, in the soul, in the Most Holy Place. That is the Seal. And because that Seal is inside, in the soul of each elect, which is the Most Holy Place, God sees them justified. *14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.* *15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.* \[JBP\] And there he draws a Star of David on the left. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Rev. 3:12**».* \[JBP\] “Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the Temple of My God”; meaning, an important person. That is Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12 and on. *16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.* *17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, let’s see if it’s here, in this Bible, that he writes… Look, in chapter 7 of First Kings, verse 21, it says: **1 Kings 7:21** *21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.* \[JBP\] And there he writes on the right, upwards: *\[WSS\] «**Jachin — He shall establish**».* *«**Boaz — in him is strength**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”**\]: \[WSS\] … a place of God’s presence, from the midst of the Two Cherubims; which in the Church will be the Two Olive Trees, in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ. In the midst of those ministries, the presence of God will be manifested in the Pillar of Fire; and therefore, the Title Deed will also be there —in the right hand of the Lord— open, and the one to whom It is given will have eaten It… \[JBP\] He says on page 364 of the book of *The Seals*, that *\[WSS\] «**Moses and Elijah have the Title Deed**».*\* \*\[Study “The Day of the Lord with Moses and Elijah,” 23/Mar/2024 (Saturday), p. 34 / Bible Study #436, 9-2/Aug/2024 (Friday), p. 10\] \[WSS\] … and therefore, God through Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, will be representing Himself in that spiritual Temple through the instrument that He has in His Church for that time. As simple as that. And likewise, the censer will enter the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ. Everything that happens in Heaven in the heavenly Temple, will have its representation in the spiritual Temple of Christ. Therefore, let’s be alert, because we are living in the time of the golden censer and the work of the incense altar, and…- which is before the entrance to the Most Holy Place and the things of the Most Holy Place, all those things which are relevant to the Age of the Cornerstone. All that is happening in Heaven, at the Throne of God, will be reflected in the Church in the Age of the Cornerstone; and just as there will be instruments there, there will also be instruments in the Church. \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look, on page 36 of the book of ***Quotations***, paragraph 29; let’s see… or 297; 297, on page 36, says: \[**60-0515E** - “Adoption #1,” p. 8, para. 8\] \[Bible Study #271, 8/Jan/2023 (Sunday), pp. 35-36 / Bible Study #286, 3-2/Mar/2023 (Friday), pp. 29-30\] *297 - “8 And then if God has sent us to be His ambassadors, all the power that’s in Heaven, all that God is, all of His Angels and all of His power stands behind our words if we are correctly an ordained, sent messengers to the people. God has to honor the Word, for He has so solemnly written, that ‘Whatever you bind on earth, that will I bind in Heaven. Whatever you loose on earth, that will I loose in Heaven.’”* \[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. And above he writes: *\[WSS\] «**Ambassador of God = Heaven stands behind him, whatever the messenger binds or loosens**».* \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, our brother William continues to say \[**“THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”**\]: \[WSS\] Just as Christ (the Messiah) takes the Title Deed there, then gives It to another man here on Earth to eat It. As simple as that. That instrument will be the representation of what happens in Heaven. “**THE CENSER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE”** That is why the prayers of the saints will be made from the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and there will be great blessings from God for all the people of God. Christ said: “Whatever you shall ask the Father in My Name, I will do it.” \[John 14:13\] As simple as that (\[JBP\] brother William says). That is why the prayers of the saints will be made from the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ… \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, remember that he said on page 131 \[p. 151 in Eng. (First Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***; he says: 283 And, Jesus, His Name on earth was “Redeemer,” Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing. (\[JBP\] See?) 284 It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, “No man knowed, but Himself.” Now, notice, “No man knowed, but Hisself.” \[JBP\] “The prayers will be made from the Church,” now under that new Mercy Seat. “**EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU,”** that’s the subject we’ll be seeing next. And we ask God to continue opening that great mystery to us —which is no longer a mystery; it is already being revealed to each and every one of us—, and so that we may obtain the benefits; like what happened two thousand years ago, when we obtained the benefit of that Work of Redemption that was carried out by the Messiah, the Christ, called Jesus. And at this end time, may we not lose sight of the blessings of the Christ, of the Anointed One, of the Messiah, in His Claiming Work. Because He, He is our Lord in His First Coming, and He is our Lord in His Second Coming. “You Are My Lord,” we can sing that song. I don’t know if the young lady Elienai is around and can sing it; the young lady who sang it recently, she can sing it; and we can sing that song all together: “You Are My Lord.” You are my Lord in the First Coming, and You are my Lord in His Second Coming. Let’s stand, and that way we can sing this song for the glory of God. “You are my… you are my Lord.” **YOU ARE MY LORD** 1 You are my Lord, You are my God, my King, the master of my being, Omnipotent and faithful. 2 Take what I am, take all of me, and do Your will, for Your glory. PRE-CHORUS //My soul, spirit and body I dedicate to You, to You alone. and now I rest in Your everlasting arm, I feel secure in You. CHORUS Wherever You lead me, I’ll follow You; Wherever You take me, I’ll be there; And whatever You tell me, that’s what I’ll do. Serving You is my life, oh God! Let me reach the end. // \[*Dr. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message that we are reading, **“MODERN EVENTS…,”** notice, he says: \[**65-1206** - “Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy,” p. 44, para. 324\] *324 Lord God, they…I give them to You. I don’t know who they are, You do. I’m only responsible for preaching Your Word, Lord, as You reveal It. You’re responsible for the rest of it: where the Seed falls. I just throw It. Lord God, I pray that It fell in good, rich soil tonight. That many will see It, Lord, and rise to shining Christians in this last days, that the great thing that we’re looking forward to come, will come quickly. Grant it, Lord. And You’ll take Your Church, Your Bride, and take Her home. We see It all setting in order.* \[JBP\] “You Are My Lord.” PRE-CHORUS //My soul, spirit and body I dedicate to You, to You alone. and now I rest in Your everlasting arm, I feel secure in You. CHORUS Wherever You lead me, I’ll follow You; Wherever You take me, I’ll be there; And whatever You tell me, that’s what I’ll do. Serving You is my life, oh God! Let me reach the end. // END /// The end. /// (\[JBP\] Whatever You tell me…) Omnipotent and faithful. \[JBP\] Whatever you tell me, that is what I’ll do. Preparing myself for the place You are taking me to, which is ready: to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Today is a victory day! Today is a joyful day! Because we have seen what the Mercy Seat was in His First Coming, and we have seen more clearly what the Mercy Seat is in His Second Coming. We would continue singing, glorifying God, and thanking Him for His Coming: His First and His Second Coming. One already happened; another is in the midst of the people, looking at the House of God, the Church, how She is being prepared day by day to become in the image of that Son who was perfect, who received a glorified body, which, in His Second Coming, He will give to His children, upon receiving Him in His Claiming Work. Blessed be God! Blessed be His Work two thousand years ago! And blessed is the Work that He is carrying out as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work! May God bless His people. May the gaze of the Two Olive Trees impart blessing, salvation and eternal life: spiritual and physical as well. May God always look at us with those Eyes of mercy, and may we always reach God’s mercy. “**EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.”** Let’s leave with us, without further ado, our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
