Jose B. Perez*\] Thank you very much, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin: May God continue blessing you greatly. And on this wedding anniversary day, along with your wife Ruth: May God bless you and bless her too, Ruth Florez de Bermudez; and may that flame of love continue to burn in your marriage until your transformation. May God bless you greatly on this wedding anniversary day.And also to all those who are there with our brother Miguel, and in different countries, today Friday, January 6 of this year 2023, where we will be watching and listening to the topic: **THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Tuesday, November 25, 1997 Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil* **Scripture: Genesis 1:1 / Genesis 1:26-28**\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] We look in the Holy Scriptures, in the book of **Genesis** (which is the Scripture he used there), **chapter 1**, and we read **verse 26**, where it tells us:*26* \_And God said, Let us make man in our image\_ *\[WSS\] «image»*\_, after our likeness\_ *\[WSS\] «likeness»*\_: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.\_ *27* \_So God created man in his own image\_ *\[WSS\] «theophany»* (\[JBP\] and on the other side he writes): *\[WSS\] «in theophany»*\_, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.\_ \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «in the 6th millennium»* (at the bottom there, too).\[JBP\] And also in this Bible, he draws three circles there: a small one, a bigger one and an even bigger one. And also next to it he draws the Pyramid and the ages at the bottom; and there he writes: *\[WSS\] «Most Holy»*, and in the center part he writes: *«Holy»*, that is, it would be the Holy Place; and at the bottom he writes: *«Outer Court»*. **THE SIGNS ARE CRYING OUT** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, November 21, 2004* *Lima, Peru*See, it was God through Jesus Christ who created the Heavens and the Earth, created the invisible world and the visible world as well; created the invisible world of the angels and all those heavenly hosts, and the visible world of the planets, of all those galaxies.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“COUNTDOWN,”****[1](#sdfootnote1sym)** he says, on page 14, says:*56* *But I wonder if we could turn back in the pages of God’s Book, this morning, and see what the church will look like at that time, see the achievements that God has made. Oh, how happenings always in this earth are representing something that comes from somewhere else* (\[JBP\] he draws a Star of David)*; but when it strikes the earth, it’s usually in a perverted condition because it is in the world of darkness and sin. See? But then there is a true representation in the spiritual realms of the other dimension. From being in the three dimensions, then the sixth dimension has its representation. I’m so glad of that.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The representation of the 6th dimension»*, and he also draws there another Star of David.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying \[**“THE SIGNS ARE CRYING OUT”**\]:\[WSS\] All physical things have their representation in the invisible world. That is, just as there are beings in the visible world, there are beings in the invisible world; and just as there are galactic systems in the visible world, there are also in the invisible world.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William Soto also tells us:**ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR HE WHO BELIEVES** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, May 9, 2004* *(Second activity)* *Austin, Texas, United States*And why have faith like a mustard seed? The mustard seed came from the creative Word of God when God created the Heavens and the Earth, and created the trees, vegetation, plants. The mustard seed is a seed, an original seed, a product of the creative Word spoken by God.And genuine faith is the faith that is the product of the creative Word of God being spoken, being preached; which, the person upon hearing it, believes, and obtains that faith, that faith is born *here* in the soul; therefore, it is an original faith, it is an original seed.(...) Because for the one who believes —not for the one who believes anything, but for the one who believes the Word of God— everything is possible. No matter what his problem is, no matter what his need is, no matter what his petition is: everything is possible for him who believes. Only with faith as a mustard seed, which is an original faith, born of the Word of God that is spoken.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of ***The Seals*** on page 255 \[p. 302 in Eng.\], he says:*\[187\]* That’s what the Blood of Jesus Christ does to the true child of God, when he confesses that sin and stands there, justified in His…Mercy! Goodness! Even it’s so great till God said, “I can’t even remember it anymore. And he is absolutely My son.”*188* “Verily, I say unto you, if you say to this mountain ‘be moved,’ and don’t doubt in your heart, but believe in what you’ve said, you… shall come to pass. You can have that what you’ve said would be.” You are a redeemed son. Amen! I know that’s true.*189* I’ve seen squirrels to appear yonder, on six different times, that I knew, and not no more than would be sitting here. He’s just as…He can create squirrels the same as He can create flies, or frogs, or anything else. He, He is God, the Creator. Right!\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «6 times»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «If you say to this mountain»*. And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «Creation of squirrels»*. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying \[**“ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR HE WHO BELIEVES”**\]:\[WSS\] Faith revolves around God and His spoken Word. It does not revolve around human ideas, but around God and His spoken Word.It is from that spoken Word of God that faith is born *here* in the soul, in the heart of people. And through the same Word of God, as one listens to it, faith grows in the person. That is why the Scripture says that there are men of little faith, but it also says that there are men of great faith. **THE SOWER SOWING THE SEED OF THE WORD** —**Introduction—** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Friday, April 22, 2016* *San Salvador, El Salvador*Each thing has its time. Time to sow the seed; it is sown by the Son of Man, the Lord Jesus Christ, and He uses instruments from age to age, sowing the Word corresponding to each time. That Word pertaining to each time produces sons and daughters of God. If you mix the Word with other human interpretations, it will produce religious human beings, but it will never produce sons and daughters of God.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And it tells us in a writing of one of the studies that they prepared for him in a place… And let us see here, because that was in **First Chronicles 5:1**. That was the Scripture that they placed there for him, and that he above used to write this that he wrote there:*1* \_Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed,\_\_ \*\*his birthright was given\*\*\_ *\[WSS\] «and even the Title Deed»* \_unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright…)...\_ \[JBP\] He took away the rights, plus (also) the Title Deed: *\[WSS\] «and even the Title Deed»*. And above there he writes, where it says: “for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed” and there he writes:*\[WSS\] «A person who makes a denomination in Christianity has defiled the Bed of Christ with His Church. Christ alone is the one who can place seed in His Church, and He does it by His Holy Spirit in every angel messenger from age to age»*.\[JBP\] See how that which Reuben did there, look at what it represents for that person who makes a denomination: he has defiled the Bed of Christ; and loses, consequently, the right of the Birthright; he loses those rights contained in the Title Deed.And also look here in another one of the writings, in another Bible study; he places it there with the Scripture of First Corinthians 9; and he writes there:*\[WSS\] «Aaron (and those who asked for the calf) asked for gold to make a golden calf. And so they ask to make a denomination: a god who they say brought them out of the world (out of Egypt), of the kingdom of darkness, of Lucifer; but it is Christ who delivered us»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look in the message “A GUIDE” on page 14… And look at that golden calf up to where it reaches in this end time. On page 14 of the message **“A GUIDE,”****[2](#sdfootnote2sym)** it says:*54* *What we need is an old-fashioned, God-sent, scalding religion that will scald that worldliness out of the church. We need to come back to the Holy Ghost and Fire, back to the thing that burns out the dross, brings the old-fashioned preaching back, make Heaven high, and hell hot, gun-barrel straight. We need that kind of a preaching. But you do it today, your congregation will vote you out.*\[JBP\] That is, “do it” (that minister who does that), and they will vote to take out that pastor from that congregation.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, what will God do? Look, in a writing from a notebook he writes:*\[WSS\] «Moses ground the golden calf; and Christ will grind the golden calf, the god of fortresses; and He will destroy the prophets of Baal, as Moses and the prophet Elijah did»*.\[JBP\] In other words, at the end of time (what Moses did there, that he ground up that golden calf), the ministries of Moses and Elijah will also be grinding up that golden calf: those denominations. It says… Because there Elijah also did the same with the prophets of Baal.[3](#sdfootnote3sym)\[**“A GUIDE”**\] \[P. 13\]*55* *Sometimes good preachers are led astray by their congregation. That’s the reason I have no denomination. I have one headquarters, that’s from Heaven. Wherever He sends, there I go. Whatever He says, I say. We don’t want no denomination. This church ever talk about denomination, you’ve lost your pastor right then. I wouldn’t hang around it, not one five-minutes. Every church that ever denominated went to the seed, and tell me one that didn’t* (\[JBP\] and he writes there): *\[WSS\] «every denomination is dead, has come to its end»* *and tell me one ever rose again. The Holy Spirit is sent to lead the church, not some group of men. The Holy Spirit is all-wisdom. Men get starchy, indifferent.**56* *God told them that He would send them a Guide, He would lead them in the way. And as long as they followed that Pillar of Fire, they was all right. He led them up to the promised land gate, and then that was as far as He was to go. Then Joshua, that great warrior, remember the day that he told them, “Sanctify yourself, the third day God’s going to open up Jordan down here and we’re going across”?* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Joshua 3: 3rd day, the Last Day**». Now watch what he said (I like this) in the Scripture, he said, “Stay close behind the Ark, for you’ve not passed this way before.**57* *What was the Ark? The Word. Don’t travel your denominational routes now, stay right behind the Word, ’cause you haven’t passed this way before.*\[JBP\] In other words, “you have come to a certain place, where Moses left you up to there; but from then on you don’t know what the road has in store for you.” If you go off on your own, what was going to happen? They were going to be taken away – they were going to drown. It wasn’t the form, the way provided by God for them to go alone; they didn’t know the way.*\[57\]* *And, brother, if there ever was a time that the Christian church ought to examine itself, is right now* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the Ark = the Word»**. We’re right now where this great meeting is going on in Rome right now, differences are being made, the confederation of churches, when all these denominations are confederated together to form the image of the beast, just exactly what the Bible says. And you know what we said this morning in the Messages. And here we are, right everything right at the door, and people still following after creed. You better stay behind the Word! The Word will lead you across, because the Word is Christ, and Christ is God, and God is the Holy Ghost.*\[JBP\] He writes: *\[WSS\] «The Word is Christ, God, the Holy Spirit»*. *58* *Stay behind the Word! Oh, yes, sir! Stay with that Guide. Stay right behind It. Don’t get in front of It, you stay behind It. Let It lead you, don’t you lead It. You let It go.**59* *Joshua said, “Now, you’ve never passed this way before, you know nothing about the road.”*\[JBP\] See, it wasn’t possible to be there waiting for Moses to come and pass them; it was necessary to follow the guide that God had left there, which was Joshua.Because the people of God always have to have a Guide; and it is the Holy Spirit; but the Holy Spirit works through human beings; and it is not by many, by groups, it is with only one.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And it also tells us, look, in the message **“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,”****[4](#sdfootnote4sym)** it tells us on page 34, says… he is talking about the preaching that Jesus had there. He says:*160* *Then He turned around and said, “Except you eat the Flesh of the Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have no Life in you.”**161* *Now, what do you think a smart, intellectual person would thought? I imagine the priests that had had Him in the temple was very—was very ashamed of—of them having Him there. “To think that a man would stand up and say a thing like that…*\[JBP\] They were ashamed of having a man like that in their synagogue. And so are many others ashamed in this end time to have what God is doing in their congregations. Because it is the same; since it is all parallel: all that happened there we are seeing here.*\[161\]* *“To think that a man would stand up and say a thing like that…, ‘Except you people eat My Flesh, and drink My Blood.’” Said, “This is a human vampire, see, ‘Eat My Flesh and drink…’ Why, he’s a cannibal. You good thinking people will… you’ll get away from such a lunatic as that.”**162* *He never explained It, He just said It! He did it to stumble them, to separate His sheep from goats. He did it to throw them off. And then nobody wanted to cooperate with Him. They had no cooperation from then on. See?*\[JBP\] He writes: *\[WSS\] «To separate the sheep from the goats He said…»*, and what we read there.\[JBP\] In other words, notice that many were scandalized, and quickly said: “No, I am not going to follow this one anymore.” They called each other there: “Look at what he just said. I am not going to follow him anymore.” It is just that they never believed in Him.And they would tell each other all those things…, as it said in the book of *Quotations*, there is a part where he says: \[WMB\] “he said it on purpose.”[5](#sdfootnote5sym)The Holy Spirit spoke things there on purpose so that those who were there for other things would leave; because if not, there would be a bunch of people following Jesus. And as brother Branham said to Billy Paul: \[WMB\] “Billy the message is all right, it’s all right. The Work is perfect. But there is something that is not right: there are many people following this Message.”[6](#sdfootnote6sym)And notice how God works every time so that only those for whom God has brought it by means of the messenger may receive the promise. And the promise for adoption, for transformation, is for those who say as Peter did, when He said to them:[7](#sdfootnote7sym)— “Do you want to leave as well?” — “But to whom shall we go? If only You have words of eternal life.”Peter wasn’t scandalized by what Jesus said, because he believed, and he was one of those who would receive the first fruits of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. That is, he wasn’t like those who were following Jesus and were scandalized, stumbled with that, and left.But there was a group like Peter and the disciples: those who stayed; because there were disciples who left as well, that say on that occasion that we read: “And some of the disciples stopped walking with Jesus.”[8](#sdfootnote8sym) And Peter wasn’t like them, but he said: “And to whom shall we go? Hard is this word…”But it was the fulfillment of the prophetic Word that was there in their midst; and that is why Peter there said: “To whom shall we go?” There was no one else who was bringing at that time Message, Word of eternal life.And he writes here on the back of that message, it says:*\[WSS\] «The chaff does not cooperate»*.*«denominational foolish virgins»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And he also says in the message…, let’s see here in the one of **“IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN,”****[9](#sdfootnote9sym)** he says on page 13:*78* *When they say, that, “Jesus Christ isn’t the same yesterday, today, and forever,” that, “His Power isn’t the same,” that, “His Gospel isn’t the same,” when the Bible says It’s the same! God defied every denomination* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Pharisees and Sadducees»* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «defies»* *every creed, and He moved forth with His Holy Spirit, as He promised* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Pyramid and the ages)*, and proved it to us, that He is alive.**79* *We are the benefactors of His resurrection, quickened after being dead in the world, in sin and trespasses. “He has quickened us together with Him, raised with Him, now sitting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”*\[JBP\] See how God there, with Jesus, with that, He was also challenging there the Pharisees and Sadducees with the preaching, with the Word; because the Word is the one that is sharper than a two-edged sword and discerns even the marrows and the intentions of the heart.[10](#sdfootnote10sym)Because when they said there: “Hard is this word” and all that, He knew and He said… because… Let’s look there how it is that He says that He knew, because He discerned there what they were thinking, and that is why He said to them: “Do you want to leave?”; because it was the preaching that made and produced that in the Pharisees and Sadducees that they stopped following Jesus: they stumbled with the preaching of Jesus.There is a part where it says that He knew what they were thinking, that is, that among them there was this thought that the Word was hard.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s see in **John 6**, in **verse 60**. It says:*60* \_Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?\_ *61* \_When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?\_ \[JBP\] See, they felt offended there. They were still there; because He then spoke to them something a little bit deeper, when He says:*62* \_What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?\_ *63* \_It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.\_ *64* \_But there are some of you that believe not.\_ \[JBP\] See, of those who followed Jesus there were many who didn’t believe; in other words, they entered at that time through the window; and they were inside enjoying all that Jesus was giving them: they ate what He created for them, they were always full; but they had not entered through the Door: through Christ, through Jesus. And… they didn’t believe anything!They said they believed, that they were believing the things that were happening; but they were there because they had entered through another place. And it is through the Door that you have to enter.And they think they are there (already at the stage) inside; and the thing is that at the end they will be rejected, because they didn’t enter through the Door, which is the one that God has provided for the people to enter, in order to receive the Rapturing Faith. It is through the Door that one must enter.It is no good for them to say: “I believe this (what will happen), but I don’t believe in how God is fulfilling it, or that way; but I want to go in at the end and receive that (the promise of transformation) but not in the way God is fulfilling it. But I want to be adopted, transformed.”See, they believe in all the promises, because they enter through the window and they are in the place where all that is going to be carried out.Before we used to think: “How is he going to be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb?” There, it is impossible for them to be taken out from there. We have already talked about this[11](#sdfootnote11sym), but see how one continues to see, and how God continues to give us more Light of all that; and how important it is to enter through the Door.Because the desire of each one is to receive the promises; but there is a way. You can’t take a shortcut, because in the end the person will be rejected.*64* \_But there are some of you that believe not\_ (\[JBP\] He knew, see?)\_. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.\_ *65* \_And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.\_ *66* \_From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him\_ (\[JBP\] and they were no longer walking with Jesus)\_.\_ \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now notice here, there is another place where… in another writing of his, from a study where is the Scripture of John, chapter 16, verse 21; see…But let’s go for a moment here, to this message, to leave join it with what we are talking about here: Page 27 of the message “THE ONLY PLACE PROVIDED BY GOD FOR WORSHIP” or “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP”; it is the same message: **“GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP,”****[12](#sdfootnote12sym)** which was preached on November 28, ‘65. It tells us on page 27 of this version, it says:*175* *Now, verse 4, notice, “Leave no bread, leave none of the sacrifice,” or, take one from one age to another.**176* *Try to go back and say, “Well, now, we’re Lutherans, we want to come up here,” you’ve got to die to the Lutheran age to be borned in the Wesley age. You have to die in the Wesley age to be borned in a Pentecostal age. And you have to die in the Pentecostal age, leave nothing of it left, burn it with fire* (\[JBP\] remember that in the Dispensation of the Kingdom there are seven stages, and an eighth as well; because eight represents eternity. He says). *because it’s going to be burnt like the stalk that the wheat comes up out of…*\[JBP\] There he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «Burn all of the pentecostal age»*. *\[176\]* *…because it’s going to be burnt like the stalk that the wheat comes up out of.*\[JBP\] And everything from the past age must also be burned. In other words… Now, don’t come and say “that we must be…” Remember how he is speaking there: in these spiritual terms; and there he is showing that each age has a stage where it has to be passed. *\[176\]* *…because it’s going to be burnt like the stalk that the wheat comes up out of. The stalk, the denomination, it’s got to be burned. So don’t bring your denomination over in the new Message. This is the Word now. That’s what denominated, the stalk; it carried It, that’s right; but It come over into here, then the stalk died. It was a carrier, the denomination, but the Word goes right on. Yeah, the Word goes right on.**177* *Now take the 5th and the 6th verse. Notice, “Not…” Now let’s take the 5th and the 6th verse.**Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of the gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee:**178* *Now remember, “Not in any of these gates.” The Lord permits you to have these denominations, see, “these gates.”*\[JBP\] He writes: *\[WSS\] «Gates»*. *But at the place which the Lord… God shall choose to place his name in,…**179* *That’s the Gate, the only place. “Not in any of these gates.” But God has a Gate.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s read a little bit further on, where we are reading, from: **“THE SOWER SOWING THE SEED OF THE WORD \[Introduction\],”** he says:\[WSS\] Now, then we find in the wheat plant the stalk; we also find other parts of the wheat plant: the husk that keeps the wheat, and then the wheat. In other words, those represent stages in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which are being fulfilled from age to age.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in that writing that we were going to read it says:*\[WSS\] «Every age gives birth to its children, and there are birth pains. Likewise the Earth has birth pains to give birth to a new world»*.\[JBP\] That is in **John 16:21**. In that portion of the Scripture, that thus says:*21* \_A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child\_ (\[JBP\] and he writes there): *\[WSS\] «Jesus»*\_, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.\_ \[JBP\] And next to it he writes: *\[WSS\] «Rev. 12:1-11»*; and he draws a Pyramid, and there he writes above: *\[WSS\] «the Son»*, and below he draws the ages.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in **Luke, chapter 12**, **verse 41**, it says:*41* \_Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?\_ *42* \_And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?\_ \[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and a Star of David there.*43* \_Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.\_ \[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «Will inherit»*. *44* \_Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.\_ \[JBP\] And he draws another Star of David there.*45* \_But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin\_\_ \*\*to beat\*\*\_ \_the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken…\_ \[JBP\] And “to beat” don’t think it is to punch him or to push. Although you have to be careful, because you never know, they might even rise up too… Although they will not have that inclination (but maybe some will). But rather to speak against your brother or try to fight him; all that. You see?Because they see that nothing is fulfilled; and they start attacking and blaspheming and mocking and many things. All that involves this which is being spoken here.Because they say: “Hey, nothing has been fulfilled,” and they begin to despair; instead of getting ready. They take time to search, to attack, fight and everything; and where is the preparation in that? Where is the one that you have —as a minister— to prepare your group? You are preparing them with excerpts and things to combat something, when it is supposed to be a time of preparation to receive the promises.What do you get out of placing faith in discord? Rather, you have to place the promises in his heart, so that that faith will increase and he will prepare himself as an individual for his adoption, his transformation.*45* \_But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;\_ *46* \_The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.\_ *\[WSS\] «great tribulation»*. *47* \_And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.\_ *48* \_But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.\_ \[JBP\] And there at the top he writes: *\[WSS\] «The angel of each age is the Father of the family, who begot, by the Word, the children of God of his age»*. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED,”****[13](#sdfootnote13sym)** page 81 says:*599* *He proves His resurrection Life then as He a vindicates Himself. She, the Bride, is independent from all others. She’s an independent Woman, a great speckled Bird that’s different from all others. You remember the Bible on that, “The great speckled bird.” But, She had His Name, She had His Life* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the Name»**. For the…**600* *How did they speckle the bird? They were both white, and then they pulled the head off of one bird and drained the blood out upon the other bird. And the other bird was speckled with the red blood, and it flopped its wings like this, and the blood cried, “holy, holy, holy,” as it bathed the ground.**601* *So Christ, the dead Mate, put His Blood, His Blood from His Life, into us; sprink-… carrying His Blood, crying, “Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord!” It’s an odd-looking bird. Sure, it is. But She, the Bride, is—is identified by Him, and She is independent from all others. “Keep thee only unto her as long as you both live* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Pyramid and the ages)*. Keep thee only to Him, the Word,” no, no adultery, not one sign of denomination, not one sign of creed* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «there should be no sign of denomination or creeds»**, no adultery at all. The Word, and Him alone!*\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David.*602* *“On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other grounds is sinking sands,” said Eddie Perronet. Uh-huh.**603* *That’s it, Christ, the Word! He was the Word; He is the Word. And the Church becomes the Word, by Him making Her a part of Him, and that’s the Word again.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and there he points towards the Cornerstone as well.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying here in the message **“THE SOWER SOWING THE SEED OF THE WORD \[Introduction\],”** he says:\[WSS\] For this end time we find that the chaff represents the seventh age of the gentile Church and the wheat is represented in the Age of the Cornerstone, where the wheat is gathered to be taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 37 of the book of ***Quotations******[14](#sdfootnote14sym)*** it tells us… where he talks about that age that comes above; a small part of paragraph 311, says: *311 - “**\[36\]* *Now, **look at the age coming now** right up to the Headstone. See what I mean? The Coming of the Lord, the made known. God and all creations is waiting for the church to positionally find its place.”*\[JBP\] And there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and where he says: \[WMB\] “look at the age coming now,” he makes an arrow towards the Cornerstone.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Cornerstone»*. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SOWER SOWING THE SEED OF THE WORD – Introduction”**\]:\[WSS\] The wheat must ripen to be harvested, therefore, ripens with the Latter and Former Rain: the teaching of the Word of God for this end time. And the Sun, Christ, revealed in the end time, will ripen the fruit, will ripen the wheat, will ripen us in the Word of God, will cause that which is promised for this end time to become a reality in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message:**THE IMPORTANCE OF WORSHIP** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, August 18, 2013* *Cayey, Puerto Rico*And when He says: “Before Abraham was, I am,” notice, He was before Abraham, He was even before Noah and even before Adam too. Him being the image of the invisible God, the Word, “by Him all things were made,” says John, chapter 1, verses 1 to 18.In clearer words, that God in His angelical body, which is Christ in His angelical body called the Angel of the Covenant and called “the Word that was with God and was God, and by Him all things were made (says John, chapter 1, verses 1 to 18)”: God through the angelical body created all things, speaking into existence all things.That will be seen again. We partially saw it in some prophets, we also saw it partially in some apostles, and we partially saw it in Reverend William Branham speaking into existence the creative Word and things being created.We find… through Jesus as well. And that will return to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time. And even more when we are transformed: there it will be at a greater scale, without limitations; everyone that will be transformed will have the same power of the spoken Word, but there will be a divine order to be manifested.Before that we have seen the manifestation of the creative power of God, in the past century, we saw it in the Reverend William Branham; and it will be seen again in this end time: in the fulfillment of the Third Pull. It was seen by the Reverend William Branham in vision when God showed him the Tent Vision, there that creative power being manifested was seen; and he says it will be manifested, and that will be the Third Pull; of which he said that he would not give details, that he would take it to the grave, everything he saw in that little room. But he saw everything functioning, therefore, it will be fulfilled, although he didn’t give much explanation. He couldn’t give much explanation so that imitators couldn’t imitate what God will do; but God is going to do it in this end time.Reverend William Branham says on page 136 and 138 of the book of *Quotations*, on page 369 of the book *The Seals*, and also page 399 of the book *The Seals*, and page 408 of the book of *The Seals*, that all that corresponds to the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah that will be repeated. In the repetition of those ministries we will see the power of God being manifested in fullness.\[JBP\] In other words, it will already be an adopted ministry. But in order to arrive at that moment of that adopted ministry, to already (at that time) perform those great miracles and wonders: the people will already be prepared and ready with what will have been brought by those ministries in the midst of the Church, which is the Rapturing Faith.What he said on many occasions: that the Third Pull (that Teaching that will be made known to the Church in that Third Pull, in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, in the Teaching stage), by that time the people will already have that preparation; they will already be ready for… Just as that ministry will be adopted and working all those wonders, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at that time will also be adopted.They will be sons and daughters of God with the same power that the apostles had in part, and some that he mentioned there, and brother Branham. It will already be in all its fullness in sons and daughters of God of this end time, of the stage or Age of the Cornerstone.And we can’t wait for all that to be fulfilled and be wasting time on other things, like saying that it is not in that manner. They waste their energies, when they should be spending them grasping and receiving the preparation; so that, when that moment comes, to be ready to obtain those promises.Instead of saying: *“I don’t really understand that, but we have been told there is a time of Teaching.”* And also… That is if she is talking to herself, or he, or… And he can also see and say: *“Wait, in the Tent Vision it will be adopted ministries which will be doing all that; and already around that time the resurrection will take place. But then, when is the time of preparation, of Teaching, that the ministries of Moses and Elijah will give to obtain the Rapturing Faith? It can’t be overnight. There has to be a trajectory.”*And there he starts talking to God and meditating, and sees the promises. And says: *“Something has to be happening before.”* And he checks the promises, he sees them in the mirror of the Word, and he says: *“Wait! Something is happening here that hasn’t happened before.”*And that is the way to look at the time that has been given to the person to live; and not to be part of it as those who stopped following Jesus.Peter stood still and said: *“Wait…”* He looked: *“I will not go with them; because there is a promise; and this Man is bringing something that, although I don’t understand it very well, but He is the only One that is bringing us that Word that is changing us. There is something that is producing that.”*And that is so in this end time: we see that something is happening in the midst of His Church: there is a revival in the Church, there is something that is producing that. And one is then left with that promise —which was given in many messages— that in a Great Tent Cathedral was going to be a Teaching being imparted: the Thunders, the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the opening of the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. And he said: \[WSS\] “Which will give the Rapturing Faith.” Well then there has to be something happening! And there he walks with the foundation of all those promises.And when the time comes where brother Branham saw all that was happening, he will say: *“I took advantage of that time to prepare myself*, *I took advantage of the time to be ready, so that, when the resurrection happens, I am transformed.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look at what it says here on page… I told you page 41 of this message **“BLASPHEMOUS NAMES,”****[15](#sdfootnote15sym)** says:*282* *Like Jesus, watch, He was overshadowed, and He was transfigured there before them, and His raiment shined like the sun. There He was, Jesus, God placing His Own Son. See? And then up come Moses. Then up come Elijah. And Peter said, “You know, it’s—it’s a good thing to be here.” See how man gets?* (\[JBP\] Notice…).*Yeah. Oh, the supernatural done! Said, “Let us build three tabernacles. Let’s build one for Moses, and one for Elijah, and one for You.”**283* *And before he got through speaking, God just shut the whole thing up, said, “This is My beloved Son. In all these things that I required of Moses* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «hear ye Him»**, and put the law out by Moses; the justice by the prophets; He has met it all. Hear ye Him. I’ll step out of the picture now. Just hear Him. Just hear Him.” Oh, my! What a beautiful thing!*\[JBP\] That is why he writes there: *\[WSS\] «hear ye Him»*. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Law \[Moses\] and the prophets \[Elijah\] was found in Jesus, the adopted Son»*. \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying \[**“THE IMPORTANCE OF WORSHIP”**\]:\[WSS\] And all that will shake the whole world, in and for the people and in the midst of the believing people in Christ, which consists of the wise virgins and the foolish virgins; and it will also shake the whole world. And therefore, the Hebrews or Jews will see him and will say: “This is what we are waiting for!” But each thing has its time, there is time for everything.\[JBP\] Now the time is to prepare ourselves by receiving all this Teaching, to then enter that stage.**LADIES, YOUTH AND ADULTS WORKING AND COLLABORATING IN GOD’S GREAT TEAM** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Saturday, April 16, 2016* *Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Santa Cruz, Bolivia*Now, look at how the place that represents our age is the most valuable. Gold represents God. The presence of God will be in all His fullness, according to the divine promise in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord in this end time; and that is where the greatest manifestation of Christ will be carried out in the midst of His Church worldwide; it will impact all mankind.That manifestation is called: The Third Pull; and the Third Pull, God gave us a sample through Reverend William Branham, how it worked, what things it did; and it is by the spoken Word, the creative Word being spoken, and things being created by the creative Word of God. That is the two-edged Sword that comes out of the mouth of the Lord.And that manifestation, called the Third Pull by Reverend William Branham, or by the Angel mentioning it as Third Pull to Reverend William Branham, is a full manifestation of God, such as has never been carried out before in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. We were only given a sample of it through Reverend William Branham. He says: “What you have seen in part will be manifested in all its fullness.”\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“RECOGNIZING THE DAY AND ITS MESSAGE,”****[16](#sdfootnote16sym)** on page 50, says… 50 at the bottom, says… 50 and 51:*\[81\]* *Oh, my brethren, sisters, be encouraged; straighten up. We’re nearing something. You’ll hear a sound of abundance of rain. For one of these days…*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Rain comes = the fullness of the Holy Spirit»*. And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «The Adoption»*. In other words, he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Adoption: The Rain comes = the fullness of the Holy Spirit»*. \[JBP\] What a beautiful writing!*\[81\]* *…the curtains will be drawed back from the heavens* (\[JBP\] and there he draws a Pyramid and an arrow towards the Pyramid. In other words, the Cornerstone)*, and God will pour out His Spirit without measure upon that group of people that’s fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas. And what a meeting we’ll have. Yes, sir.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying \[**“LADIES, YOUTH AND ADULTS WORKING AND COLLABORATING IN GOD’S GREAT TEAM”**\]:\[WSS\] And that Third Pull will be for the Church-Bride, for the foolish virgins and for the lost, for the world; in other words it will impact all mankind. And that is what the Jews will see and they will say: “But this is what we are waiting for.” But He comes for His Church-Bride, to give her the faith to be transformed and taken with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.\[JBP\] If He will give her the faith: He has to bring it through the preaching. That is why brother Branham when he sees, he says that there was preaching.[17](#sdfootnote17sym) And if there was preaching, it is because it has already been done that way. And he went to one of the activities where there was already the maximum of those activities; but there was already a trajectory; and since everything has its time: it came in a progressive way.And if there is preaching, there has to be a preacher, and there has to be a person preaching.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“THE MASTERPIECE”****[18](#sdfootnote18sym)** on page 18, look at what he says there. He says:*75* *Remember, Angelo* (\[JBP\] in other words, Michael Angelo. He writes): *\[WSS\] «Michael Angelo»* *could only cry out and smite the image, and say, “Speak!”**But how different it was to God, the great Sculptor. When He made a man in His Own image* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «theophany»**, so perfect that It reflected Him, God spoke through the image of man, showing what He would do. He spoke through the prophets as they were in their potential image, as He was bringing it up to the Head. But when He come in the Head, He was all the image of God; He was portraying Himself. Then, smitten for us, now He is the Masterpiece to us, the Gift of God, Jesus Christ, Eternal Life. I hope we never forget that.**76* *As we see the days darkening, as we see the shadows falling* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «USA»**… When, I predict, “It’s just a **few*** ***more*** ***turns*** (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Messages of Moses and Elijah»**…*\[JBP\] \[WMB\] “A few more turns:” the Christian world is revolutionized; and it always begins with the House of God, where they are in that revolution.Like when Jesus was there: He was revolutionizing there the Hebrew people with the Message. What he preached caused a revolution at that time.And look at what it says here: *\[WSS\]«Messages of Moses and Elijah»*. *\[76\]* *…a few more turns of the sun. This nation is gone.* \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «and the 7 turns: ages of the»* and there he didn’t write anything else, but rather drew a small Stone.*\[76\]* *…a few more turns* (\[JBP\] and there he writes): *\[WSS\] «Messages of Moses and Elijah»* *of the sun. This nation is gone* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «and the 7 turns: ages of the»* (\[JBP\] and draws a small Stone here, a Cornerstone.)\[JBP\] And that is talking about the seven stages within the Cornerstone.Look where those revolutions occur: after the seven stages.And who is causing them? He says: *\[WSS\] «Messages of Moses and Elijah»*. And it is not that he comes with a new Message. The new Message is the revelation of the Seventh Seal; but the Message has been brought by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ: William Soto Santiago; and the foundation as well, who brought it? Reverend William Marrion Branham: forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. As simple as that.Everything is so simple. So simple that even children understand and know more about what God is doing at this time than the children’s teachers themselves. They can even teach them.It is the miracle that God is doing; because if God brought us up to here it is to prepare ourselves. He wants us to look like Him, as that Masterpiece that He did in Jesus: the Firstborn. He wants each one of us to be like Him: to give us that eternal and glorified body.Therefore, He makes everything simple, so that those who —by predestination, since before the foundation of the world— will be being prepared for adoption, for the transformation: understand and comprehend.He who doesn’t: will not understand. No matter how hard he tries to find a way, he will find one: to stumble upon the veil of flesh; because he will find everything all right, except how God is fulfilling it; and there he must be taken out, because he entered through the window.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying \[**“LADIES, YOUTH AND ADULTS WORKING AND COLLABORATING IN GOD’S GREAT TEAM”**\]:\[WSS\] And Christ, just as He spoke in the midst of His Church in the past ages by His Spirit through the messenger of each age…, to whom came the revelation of the Word, the Message, and he allowed himself to be used by the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit spoke through the messenger to the people, what was for the people; and what was for the messenger, which he couldn’t speak, the messenger reserved it for himself.The messenger always has to know more than what the people know, and he has to know how God works through him; and be reserved so that they don’t imitate him and don’t take the people from him…\[JBP\] Because that is what happened in the First and Second Pull, where brother Branham began to explain; and instead of the ministers telling their congregations: *“Come! This man… look at what he is doing,”* and *“be looking at this man, because in addition to these signs that he is doing he is bringing a Message; and we will pay attention to him”*; they began to imitate the messenger of the seventh age, doing those signs.Because he began to explain to them what the Angel told him: \[WMB\] “Of this, do not speak.” That is, in the Third Pull He said to him: \[WMB\] “Of this, do not say…” But before, when He showed him those stages, and he started to teach them, there the Angel said to him: \[WMB\] “Just what I told you not to do, you did. Look at the heap of carnal impersonators that you have made.” And the people began to turn their attention away towards the ministers, because they began to do the same things.And the Third Pull, if it is revealed, and brother William would have revealed how this whole trajectory of the fulfillment of the Tent Vision was going to be from its beginning: Many would have taken their eyes off of him even when he was with us, and they would have started to also imitate; because that had already happened in the First and Second Pull.And now, if everything involved in the Third Pull in all its phases is explained… It is even so with what has already been talked about, and you can see that they have also started to do the same; and they try to take the people away from him: to also start sending excerpts and excerpts, and start doing studies and all that: exactly the same.\[JBP\] And look, see there \[**“WOMEN, YOUTH AND ADULTS WORKING AND COLLABORATING IN GOD’S GREAT TEAM”**\]:\[WSS\] …so that they don’t imitate him and do n’t go to take the people from him or try to make trouble for him from within the people.\[JBP\] And that is exactly what they are doing right now! And they don’t realize that they are fulfilling the Scriptures, which they were also ordained to do. There is no way to change that.That is, they try to, or would try to, instead of taking the people and telling them: *“Look, focus on looking at the Teaching under the Tent”*…; which was what he had been saying for years: \[WSS\] “Have your antennas, have a good sound; focus on staying connected with Puerto Rico.”[19](#sdfootnote19sym)It is with the small amount that has been given, and already, notice, some of them don’t even receive the transmission from here; and they start to put the people to watch them; and yet practically nothing has been said!But the same thing that happened in the First and Second Pull is what is happening in the Third. That is why nothing will be said, but every time that it is going to be fulfilled, there you can see how the imitators are coming out. If it were said before, when this stage would appear there would already be a lot of people doing the same.That is why God has reserved all this time; and He will reserve for Himself what will be happening inside the little wooden room, and how all this will be working. He will know how to do it and at the right time.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, in the message **“The introduction to the topic: MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE,”** that was a few words he always gave before… he says:**INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC: MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Friday, December 22, 2017* *Cayey, Puerto Rico*It is very important to know who Melchisedec is, the King of Peace, because He is the Almighty God, creator of the Heavens and the Earth, who would become flesh in the midst of His people Israel, and who will also become flesh among Christianity at the Last Day.\[JBP\] And remember that that is the promise that the Church-Bride has: the promised Son; where there in that drawing that he did… and he wrote: *\[WSS\] «Rev. 12:1-11»*, and in the Cornerstone he writes: *\[WSS\] «the Son»*. \[**“INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC: MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE”**\]\[WSS\] …and also for the Last Day He will become flesh in the midst of Christianity.Therefore, it is important to know who Melchisedec is, the King of Israel.Let us proceed to listen to this subject, so that we have a clear picture of who is Melchisedec the King of Peace, the King of Jerusalem, who is promised to be manifested at this end time to the Jews and to Christianity.\[JBP\] As simple as that.Let us stand up, and so we leave on the topic we have for today: **“THE MYSTERY OF THE FATHER OF CREATION”** our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.\* \* \*
