Jose B. Perez*\] Thank you very much, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin. May God also continue to bless you greatly in favor of the whole Church of the Lord and in favor of the faith that each one of us needs to be transformed, which comes through the messenger; as you were saying a few minutes ago: that God at this time has sent us His Angel Messenger, the last prophet promised for the Church of the Lord, a dispensational prophet.It is the first time that God sends a dispensational prophet to the Lord’s Church; and we are so grateful to Him, that He has sent us our beloved brother and friend William Soto Santiago, we are very grateful to God for that. **TITLE: THE MYSTERY OF THE CALLING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS BRIDE, FROM HIS HOUSE, IN THE LAST DAY** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Thursday, August 7, 1997 (Third activity) Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico* \*\*Scripture: Revelation 22:16-17\*\* \*\*THE MASTER IS HERE AND HE IS CALLING YOU \*\* \_Dr. William Soto Santiago \_ \_Tuesday, March 16, 2004 \_ \_Maipu, Santiago, Chile\_ Now, Christ needs to complete His Church; therefore, the resurrection of the dead in Christ will be after the very last of God’s elect written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life has entered the Mystical Body of Christ. And just as He called His elect in every age of the past (Christ in Holy Spirit manifested through every angel messenger, in whom He veiled and revealed Himself through them, in the midst of His Church), He will be doing the same in this end time also. Therefore, in every age, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ could say to each person: “The Lord is here and calls you.” Then, we find that also at the time of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, in whom Christ was manifested in Holy Spirit, the group of elect that followed the seventh angel messenger of the seventh age, could say through the Message brought by the Reverend William Branham: “The Master is here and calls you.” As Martha said to Mary. But Mary hadn’t seen Christ when He came. But Martha saw Him and spoke with Him, and He spoke to her about the resurrection of Lazarus; therefore, He had come to carry out that purpose. But Martha being there, and Mary not being there, He couldn’t resurrect Lazarus; because Mary typifies the elect group of the Last Day, the last group that comes before the resurrection of the dead in Christ. You see, in Spanish, if you look closely: Marta, the “t”, and Maria, the “i”,^{[¹](#sdfootnote1sym)} only one letter makes the difference. Therefore, if you take away the “t” from Marta, and put an “i”, what does it say? Maria. If you take away the “i” from Maria, and put a “t”, what does it say? Marta. Now, we find that Martha passed the Message of Christ to Mary, she said to her: “The Master is here and calls you.” And Mary went out to her master; and there it was that Christ was moved in Spirit, after Mary arrived; which typifies the elect group of this end time. And for the resurrection of the dead in Christ, who had to be there? Mary, present, with the Lord Jesus Christ, receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. (...) On that same fourth day, earlier than the moment Mary met Jesus, earlier Martha had met Jesus Christ. And “earlier,” that is the group of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ encountering the Holy Spirit manifested in the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. And that is why it is from that group that the announcement came that Jesus Christ was in Holy Spirit manifested in the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. And that is where the news came from: “Christ is here and calls you,” for the call of Mary, who represents the group of the elect of the Last Day, for the Age of the Cornerstone. It was when Jesus saw Mary and the group of Jews weeping. The group of Jews weeping, soon they are going to appear; a little group of 144,000 is going to appear out there, who are promised to be weeping. \*\*THE MINISTRY OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE TODAY \*\* \_Dr. William Soto Santiago \_ \_Friday, September 22, 1989 \_ \_Bogota, Colombia\_ We can see the ministry of the Bridegroom and the Bride in this time in which we live, for the blessing of all those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and in the Book of Life in the other section. For that is the ministry of the Bridegroom through His Angel, and of the Bride, today, in the day, in the Age of the Cornerstone in which we are living. So even so, that ministry of the Bridegroom and the Bride will still have a part that will be for those who don’t have their names written in the Book of Life. That is the part where the promise will be fulfilled: that the Third Pull will be for the Bride (that is, the Lamb’s Wife), the foolish, and the lost (who have no chance of salvation). \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And I also wanted to read you that little part there that he makes that reference, in the book of ***Quotations***, on page 119, paragraph 1057, of the message **“LOOK AWAY TO JESUS.”**^{**[²](#sdfootnote2sym)**} The last little part here of this excerpt, it says: *“*^*\[49\]**And then when that time comes, and the press comes to a place to where you’re pressed out, then watch what I’m fixing to tell you in a few minutes. Watch the Third Pull then, see, and it’ll be absolutely to the total lost, but it—it will be for the Bride and the Church.”*That is what our brother William was referring to. And he continues saying:Do you see? It will be for those who are written in the Book of Life, the elect, and the others who are also written in the Book of Life section. Some in the Lamb’s Book of Life (that section), and the others in the Book of Life section (that other section). And the lost, who will not have opportunity, but will see the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, the ministry of the Bridegroom and the Bride in this end time; those who will not have opportunity, but will see that ministry in this end time. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“Souls that are in prison now,”**^{**[³](#sdfootnote3sym)**} on page 29 in the bottom, says… In the book of ***Quotations*** is in paragraph 1002. Says: *“*^*\[205\]**And if she rejects mercy, she can cross the separating line where there is no place for her no more. And then where is she at, with her painted eyes, her cut hair? And she’s across the line, with no way to come back, and there’s got to be a ministry preached to her* (he writes there: *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah»*)*. But remember, at that time, it’s all over. It’s done. It’s just a haunting.*^*206* *There will be a ministry* (and again writes: *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah»*) *that will show great wonders, Joel said so, but there’ll be no time for redemption. It’s all over. The Lamb has done took His Book, and His redeemed is over. As Jesus first preached and was rejected, and then went and haunted those that were in there, preached to them that were in prison, could not repent, no time for salvation, that same ministry* (*\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah»* again he writes) *will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull? to the Eternal lost. What if it is there? I hope it’s not. What if it is? Think of it just a minute now. What if it is? God forbid. I got children. See? But it sure looks pretty close here.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the book of ***The Seals***, on page 369 \[p. 435 in Eng.\], it tells us: *“*^*360* *Notice the last verse of the Sixth Seal, opened. Those who had laughed at the preaching of the Word, of the vindicated Word of the living God; when them prophets had stood there and performed miracles, closed the sun, and everything else, and all down through the age. See, ‘They cried for the rocks and the mountains to hide them,’ see, to hide them from the Word that they had laughed at, ’cause they seen Him come. ‘Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.’ He is the Word. See? They had laughed at the Word. And here the Word was, incarnate. And they had made fun of It; laughed at them, made fun of them. And the incarnate Word had dropped forth!*^*361* *Why didn’t they repent? They couldn’t. It was too far, then. So, they knowed that, the punishment. They hear It. They had sat in meetings like this and knowed about It. And they knowed that the things of those prophets, had predicted, was looking them right in the face, the thing that they had rejected. They had spurned mercy for the last time.*^*362* *And when you spurn mercy, there is nothing left but judgment. When you spurn mercy; just think of it.”*It continues saying here, in this message that we are reading; says:Just as when the Lord Jesus Christ died and descended into hell, He had a ministry there for those who no longer had a chance of salvation. He had a ministry there to condemn all those who didn’t believe in Noah’s Message, when Noah was preparing the ark. So it was a message to condemn all unbelievers to Noah’s Message. And then He went on to Paradise to produce – to bring out from there all the elect, who were waiting for the resurrection of the dead. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And there is something very important here that I want to share with you, from brother Branham and… In 271 \[p. 321 in Eng.\] of the book of ***The Seals*** (this is from “The Fourth Seal”), it says: *“*^*336* *I said, if God speaks, or sends you* (and there he writes: *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah»*)*, He’s… He—He backs up what you say. See? Notice, if you’re an ambassador from Heaven, all Heaven is behind you. And Heaven is consisted of the Word* (and he writes above: *\[WSS\] «theophany»*)*. Uh-huh.*^*337* *Notice, now, He’s come with resurrected saints* (and there he writes: *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah»*)*, vindicating that His Word is true* (that is, and he writes above: *\[WSS\] «Message»*)*.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Excuse me, but it is good that you also have it there so that you can read it. *“*^*337* *Notice, now, He’s come with resurrected saints, vindicating that His Word is true* (that is, the Message)*.*^*338* *So Satan knows, then, the bottomless pits is ready for him. See? Oh, my! While, death rode the pale-horse, mixed creed and denominations, and followed him, oh, my, to Eternal separation from God. That’s where he rode them to, to Eternal separation. Christ rode His Church right into Glory, in the resurrection.”* (And there he continues reading).\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And on 322 \[p. 379 in Eng.\], which also has to do with this that he wrote there and makes reference to, so that you have those two quotes… On 322 it says: *“*^*410* *I thought, ‘My, isn’t this wonderful! Oh, my! And I was afraid of it. Why was I afraid of dying, to come to this? Well, this is perfection, plus perfection, plus perfection. Oh, this is wonderful!’*^*411* *See, we was right under the altar. See? That was it, see, right under the altar, waiting for the Coming, see, for Him to go get the ones that was sleeping in the… the—the bodies sleeping in the dust, to raise us again; come by, raise us up.*^*412* *Like Jesus come through paradise, and brought up Abraham, Isaac, and all them, you know, was waiting the first resurrection. They entered into the city and appeared to many.*^*413* *It’s perfectly Scriptural* (and he writes: *\[WSS\] «The resurrection today of the New Testament, as it was with the Old Testament saints»*)*.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Already all that, well, he (as our brother Miguel said), we already have all that in the messages; but as it is here, it is beautiful how one can see all that, all those Scriptures, as (let’s say) clearer and with more (perhaps) understanding with those little notes that he made there; and that, well, we thank our heavenly Father, who has had mercy with us and has left us all that to confirm more to each one of us in all this that he has already left us in the Message.He continues saying, to continue here and to take advantage of this reading; he continues saying in this message:So there will be this ministry, this is THE MINISTRY OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE BRIDE in this end time; which begins with the elect, which is manifested in the Age of the Cornerstone. And then, from there, from the Age of the Cornerstone, it will cover every human being living on this planet Earth; because every human being will hear the Final Message of God to then pass the human beings to the stage of the great tribulation, those who are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Book of ***The Ages***, on page 187 \[pgs. 171-172 in Eng.\], it tells us: *“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. By and through the members of the bride will be fulfilled all that was promised of God to be made manifest in the virgin.**The word of promise came to the virgin Mary. But that Word of promise was He, Himself* (and there he writes next to it: *\[WSS\] «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 of God. Isaiah 9:6. He fulfilled at that time all that was written of Him because she accepted His Word to her.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,”**^{**[⁴](#sdfootnote4sym)**} there he tells us who that Angel is. We already talked about it one Sunday, but I think we had not placed this quote there, from what he wrote there next to it. In the message **“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD?”**, it says: *“*^*190* *And the Holy Ghost, the Angel of the Lord appeared to Mary, and told her that she was ‘going to have a baby, knowing no man,’ and told her about Elisabeth’s condition* (and there he put: *\[WSS\] «Gabriel»*; there in the little corner here, he put: *«Gabriel»*. That is what he refers to here in ***The Ages***, when he says that the Angel had brought him the message. And who is the Angel? The Holy Spirit, Gabriel).*”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] (In the unedited book of “THE AGES,” also, there he speaks of it; and in the Compendium of “ANGELS” as well).It says \[***The Ages***, p. 187\]: *“The members of the virgin bride will love Him, and they will have His potentials, for He is their head, and all power belongs to Him. They are subject to Him as the members of our bodies are subject to our heads.**Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has “thus saith the Lord.” Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its purpose* (and there he writes a pyramid, and it says: *\[WSS\] «Mind»*)*.**Those in the bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise. They have ‘thus saith the Lord’ or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message (taking advantage of the fact that I read that little part there)... There is a part in ***The Seals*** that says: “When the Bride can place the Word correctly…” On page 254 \[p. 301 in Eng.\] it says: *“*^*179* *Now, we had him coming, last night, with his great sword, to kill.*^*180* *We find out that he gets killed with the sword, too, the sword of the Word. God’s Word, sharp, two-edged sword, slays him, puts him right down. Wait till them Seven Thunders utter Their voices to that group* (and he writes up there: *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah with the elect»*) *who really can take the Word of God and hand It there, It’ll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens. They can shut this, or do that, whatever they want to.”*It goes on to say here, in the message; it says:(...) When a booklet gets into the hands of a person: it gets into the hands of some person because the Bride has taken the Voice of the Bridegroom and has put it in a booklet, has printed the Voice of the Bridegroom; and then she passes the Voice of the Bridegroom to other people: “Here is the Voice of the Bridegroom.” It is the Voice, the Message of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time for every human being. And that same Voice, that same Message, is the Message, the Voice that the messenger, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ has. See how the Voice of the Lord Jesus Christ passes into the mouth of the messenger, for He said: “I will raise up a prophet from among your brethren, like unto you (He said to Moses); and I will put my Word in his mouth, and he shall speak what I shall command him.”^{[⁵](#sdfootnote5sym)}There you have a messenger of every age, the prophets of every age, and also the messengers of every dispensation. In each messenger of each dispensation that prophecy is fulfilled on a larger scale. So He puts, the Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ, puts, places, His Word in the mouth of the messenger; the messenger speaks it, and places it in the mouth and in the hand of the Bride; and the Bride takes that Word and places it in the hands of the other human beings living on this Earth. And so the human beings can take of the Water of Life, of the Message of eternal life, in this end time, through what? Through the Work and MINISTRY OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE, which takes the Voice of the Bridegroom to every human being. \* \* \*
