Jose B. Perez*\] Thank you very much, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin; may God continue blessing you greatly and continue to help you at all times, in favor of the entire Church of the Lord.Greetings to all the brethren there in Barquisimeto, state of Lara, Venezuela, where he is; congregation that Reverend Naun Leon pastors; and all the brethren there; and also those who are through the satellite Amazonas or internet; and all those who are here present as well, who visit us from different countries, and those here in Puerto Rico:May God bless us greatly this morning through His Word.We turn to Matthew, chapter 11, verse 20… There in the subject that we have for today, that we will be watching and listening to: **THE MYSTERY OF THE DIVINE SIMPLICITY** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Monday, November 3, 1997 (Third activity) Olavarria, Buenos Aires, Argentina* \*\*Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20\*\* \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] We read here in **Matthew**, **chapter 11**, **verse 20** and on, it says:^*20* \_Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:\_ ^*21* \_Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.\_ ^*22* \_But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.\_ ^*23* \_And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.\_ ^*24* \_But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.\_ ^*25* \_At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.\_ ^*26* \_Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.\_ ^*27* \_All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.\_ **THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Friday, February 8, 2008 Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil*Everything that He will be doing will be transmitted to the human race through the words that the Holy Spirit will be speaking through the ministries of the Two Olive Trees.God will place His Word in the mouth of these Two Olive Trees, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah being repeated at the Last Day.And therefore, the two-edged Sword, the Word of God, that has been in the mouth of the Lord, using it and speaking through His different messengers…Notice, in the messenger of the seventh age, on different occasions we find that two-edged Sword discerning the thoughts of the hearts of the people, and also speaking things into existence, and also speaking out of existence diseases and many other things.We find on occasions when it was said to Reverend William Branham: “Whatever you say will happen”; the Sword was placed in his mouth.• We find that he spoke squirrels into existence on different occasions; they were created by that creative Word.• He also spoke to resurrect a little fish that had died and was floating in the river waters where he was fishing; and he resurrected the little fish.Anyone may think: “But such a great power of creation to be used for the resurrection of a little fish?” And didn’t Christ use it to multiply the little fish too (the fish) and the loaves of bread?There is no small thing for God. Everything that God created is great before God, whether it is a little fish or something smaller than a little fish.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, in the message **“CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED,”**^{**[¹](#sdfootnote1sym)**} on page 82 it tells us:^*\[611\]* *She is now risen, and by the power of the vindicated Word promised to Her. Amen!*^*612* *How a Bride holds that promise! “He told me He would return after me. I’ll believe it.” Uh-huh. See? Yes, sir. To meet Her Headship, Her Redeemer, Her Husband, Her King, Her Lord, Her Lover, Her Saviour, in the provided meeting place!*^*613* *He’s got a place to meet Them. You know, He—He… The Bridegroom don’t leave out nothing. He’s got the ring, the identification. He’s got the robe that She wears, Her clothing. See? And He’s got the provided place to meet Her, that’s in the air.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look… We pause here, and in the message **“IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?”**^{**[²](#sdfootnote2sym)**} on page 18 and 19 it says:^*130* *And that’s right, because, in the formation of the world, the world was formed before there was light. We all know that. God moved upon the water. And—and then, in the beginning, He spoke for light. And, naturally, down under there, in the age that formation was* (\[JBP\] and there he draws the Cornerstone and the ages; and like a molar, a lace below, in the part below the ages)\_, that light had never come upon that stone\_ (\[JBP\] and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages)*.*^*131* *And he said, “‘Look upon This. Light has never come upon It before.’” And when all of them got up, and I told them to watch That, and all of them come up to look in.*^*132* *But he said, while they were looking in, he looked out of the corner of his eye, I believe it was, and watched me. I slipped off to one side, and started going towards the West* (\[JBP\] he draws a Cornerstone and an arrow towards there, and he writes): *\[WSS\] «West»*\_, towards the setting of the sun; coming up a hill\_ (\[JBP\] and the ages there as well, and draws an arrow toward the ages)*, going down a hill; coming up a hill, going down a hill; getting smaller and smaller, and went all the way out of sight.*\[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «The island =»*, and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «the Age of the Cornerstone»*.\[JBP\] What brother Miguel was talking about Puerto Rico, where this great Message has come out that the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ brought to us from this Age of the Cornerstone. And look here (there have already been a couple of times when he talks about something…; and…, and I haven’t talked to him for several days now; and he talks about something and I was just going to talk about it, we kind of coincide).And I had this one to read to you where he wrote there: *\[WSS\] «The island =»* a Cornerstone, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «the Age of the Cornerstone»*.Look where he places the Age of the Cornerstone: represented on an island.Because it is on an island where God has brought this glorious Message, and it is where He will culminate His Work. He began by giving the revelation there to John on the island of Patmos; and it will culminate on the island of Puerto Rico, bringing us that great promise; which is not only for Puerto Rico but for every place where God’s elect are: the promise of transformation.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, he goes on to say in the message we were reading of **“CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED”**:^*\[613\]* *Everything has been all provided. He’s got the Wedding Supper already set; guests already invited, already chosen. All the Angels are standing around, His servants, at attention.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Resurrection by the Word; by Elijah and Moses»*.\[JBP\] Remember that the resurrection will be by the spoken Word. “And the dead shall hear the Voice of the Son of God, and shall arise.”^{[³](#sdfootnote3sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say in the message **“THE SWORD OF THE KING…”**:\[WSS\] • And now, we find him also speaking to nature, speaking to a snowstorm that was coming and was going to cover the whole place where he was hunting, the entire forest; he would die and those who were with him, if that storm hit the place where he was. But the Holy Spirit told him: “Speak to it and it will go away.”God placed His Word in the mouth of that man of God, of that prophet: he spoke to it and the storm went away.Sometimes it is more difficult to tell a person to go away, and the person goes away, than to tell the storm to go away.• And now, we also find him speaking out of existence the tumor that was on one of his wife’s ovaries; who was in Tucson, Arizona, and he was in Jeffersonville, Indiana.There is no distance for the creative Word of God.\[JBP\] That is why we must have the antennas well aligned and everything well connected; because the Third Pull will also benefit at an international level; and thus you may be able to see what is happening there.\[WSS\] Do you remember the soldier - the Roman officer, who came to Jesus to tell Him that his servant was sick? And Jesus said, “I am coming and I will heal him.” And the Roman officer said to Him: “You don’t need to go! I am a man of authority, and I tell such and such soldier to go, and he goes and does what I say. Just say the Word and my servant will be healed.” And Jesus says that He had not found in Israel such faith as He found in him. He said the Word and then the young man was healed.^{[⁴](#sdfootnote4sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of ***Quotations***,^{[⁵](#sdfootnote5sym)} page 28, it tells us, paragraph 232, it says: *232 - “*^*10* *So, I sure hope that I live to see the day when we Americans will have that kind of faith. ‘Just speak the Word, Lord, and my servant will live.’ Oh, it’ll be a great day.”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Speak the Word»*. And he draws a Star of David, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «3rd Pull»*.\[JBP\] Because it is in the Third Pull that that will be being manifested, which is the power of God by the Word being spoken.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] We find many cases like this as well, repeated in the life of Reverend William Branham; as we also saw in the apostle Peter and the apostle Paul, and other apostles as well.• He also spoke salvation for the children of a Christian woman; and they came crying to the Feet of Christ at the moment he spoke that Word. Because the request of the mother of those young men was the salvation of her children.Because salvation is for eternity…\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 36, paragraph 301, it says \[***Quotations***\]:^{[⁶](#sdfootnote6sym)} *301 - “*^*17* *Paul told the Roman, said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou and thy house shall be saved.’ If you’ve got faith enough for your own self to be saved, have faith enough, no matter how wayward that boy is, or that girl is, they’ll be saved anyhow. God, somehow! If He has to lay them on their back, laying there in a hospital, dying, they’ll be saved. God promised it. The inheritance! Oh! ‘And they shall be there,’ said Isaiah, ‘and all their offsprings with them.’”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Faith for the salvation of the children»*.\[JBP\] And of all our relatives. They are our inheritance.And here on that occasion he was representing all our relatives, in the children of our sister Hattie Wright.And remember that in the Tent Vision, there, at that stage there will also be that opportunity to claim…; in other words, for that request of the children of God to be fulfilled, in which many will come to the Feet of the Lord. And thus God will give them eternal life, we will have them for eternity.\[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]\[WSS\] To ask for anything material is something temporary, for some time, but to ask for salvation for one’s relatives or for oneself, that is for all eternity; it is the best thing that one can ask for oneself or for one’s relatives.And now, we have seen that that creative Word of God has been manifested in different messengers in which Christ has been, the Angel of the Covenant, which is the one that has the Sword, the Word; but He places it in the mouth of His messengers and the Holy Spirit Himself speaks through them; and that is the Sword coming out of the mouth of Christ, of the Messiah, of the Holy Spirit, that Word coming out through a man. And what that man is speaking is fulfilled. Why? Because that is the Word of God.On one occasion Reverend William Branham was on a mountain praying, and something fell in his hand; and when he looked, it was a sword (a sword); and he says that he was afraid of bladed weapons (almost all Americans are afraid of bladed weapons).And he says: “A sword.”And the Voice of the Holy Spirit says to him, “It is the King’s Sword.”\[JBP\] And what is the Voice of the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is Gabriel; we see it in different places where he writes it.^{[⁷](#sdfootnote7sym)} And look, that Voice that always spoke to him: We see and identify who it was.\[WSS\] And he says: “The sword of a king?”And he was told: “No, the King’s Sword.”That is, the Sword of God, which is the Word of God.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“WHY SPEAK? CRY!”**^{**[⁸](#sdfootnote8sym)**} on page 47, it tells us:^*308* *God, give me courage to take that Sword of the Word that He put in my hand about thirty-three years ago, and hold It and march forward to the Third Pull, is my prayer.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Sword 33 years ago = the Word for his age»*.And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «From 1930 – 1963 and 1965»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] And now, that Sword is the Word that God placed in the heart and mouth of that man that God sent for the seventh stage of the Church; a man with both consciousnesses together.Therefore, being in the subconscious…; because he could pass from the conscious to the subconscious being awake; when passing to the subconscious he sees the Sword.\[JBP\] That is, passing to the subconscious, that is where he sees all of that and sees that Sword.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“TRYING TO DO GOD A SERVICE,”**^{**[⁹](#sdfootnote9sym)**} on page 11, it says:^*48* *And one morning the Lord said, “Go up in the top of Sabino Canyon.”*\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.^*49* *And I was up there holding up my hands, praying. I felt something strike my hand. It was a sword.*\[JBP\] Here he is telling it. There it was July 14 of ‘63, and here he is telling it on November 27 of ‘65.^*\[49\]**I felt something strike my hand. It was a sword.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The King’s Sword = the Word»*, at the top part.^*\[49\]* *Now, you can just imagine how you’d feel, standing there by yourself and here’s a knife in your hand about that long. I pulled it down and looked at it. It was just a knife, one of them… and I’m scared of a knife, anyhow. And it had a—it had a—a metal, something like one of these knifes, like pot metal or something, real sharp and narrow. Had a sheath around it here, where the dueler’s used to, to keep from cutting one another’s hands, and—and it had a pearl in the handle here. Just fit my hand exactly. Well, I rubbed my face and looked back.**Right on that same spot, the other day, I saw a little, white dove come down* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Dove»**. I’ll tell you about that later.*^*50*\_ And I was holding that in my hand, I thought, “That’s strange. Now, Lord, I… am I losing my mind? There’s no one here. I’m miles from anybody and here is a sword. I had my hand up, and where did it come from?” And I thought, “That’s the strangest thing. Now looky here, it’s a sword.” See, hit it, and it was a sword. And I said, “There’s nobody here standing here. I’m up on top of these rocks\_ (\[JBP\] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages)*, plumb on top of the mountain.” And you couldn’t even see Tucson from there, it was so far down.*^*51* *I thought, “Now, that’s a strange thing. Now, it’s got to be in this vicinity somewhere, Somebody that could create and make a sword and put it in my hand.” I said, “It could only be the very God that created a ram for Abraham, could create those squirrels,” that you’ve heard. And I said, “Here is the material, three different kinds of material in it, and I’m holding it in my hand just as real as anything else I could hold in my hand.”*\[JBP\] He writes: *\[WSS\] «The Sword of gold, pearl and silver»*.^*52* *And I heard a Voice, said, “That’s the King’s Sword!”*^*53* *And I thought, “Now, where did That come from? Was right along there in them rocks somewhere.” And I held it in my hand like that, and I said, “A king’s sword.” And I looked around, and the sword was gone. And I said, “A king’s sword.” That’s to… they knight with—with a sword, I think that’s right, the army or some way, they knight with it, you know. And I said, “Well, that’s what that was probably for. It means that maybe I’m to lay hands upon ministers, or something like, that, to make them ministers.” And then I…*^*54* *A Voice spoke back again, said, “The King’s Sword!” Not a king; the King’s Sword! See?*^*55* *I thought, “Now, I’m either beside myself, my mind has slipped, or there’s something taking place, there’s somebody standing around here by me.”*\[JBP\] He draws a Star of David. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Bro. Branham thought that his mind had slipped»*.\[JBP\] Remember that on Mount Transfiguration Jesus was adopted there; while still in His body (which was created by God in the virgin) He was adopted. And Moses and Elijah were there.And in that adoption of Jesus, then the work for which He was sent was carried out: the fulfillment of His First Coming; which at the end was to fulfill the purpose for which God had sent Him: fulfill His First Coming and die on Calvary’s Cross. That is, the adoption was in that body that He had there, who could lay down His life.\[**“TRYING TO DO GOD A SERVICE WITHOUT IT BEING GOD’S WILL”**\] \[Page 7\]^*56* *And brethren, these things are true. I don’t—I don’t know how to tell you, you’ve always seen it always happen that way. And it’s… I couldn’t understand it. So… It’s the strangest feeling.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David.^*57* *And I stood there. I thought, “Now, ever Who that is that’s talked to me all my life, since a little, bitty baby boy, is standing right here, and I can’t see Him at all.” I said, “The King’s Sword?” That would be… God is the King. “And what is this sword?”*^*58* *“The Word, It’s been placed in your hand.” Said, “Don’t fear of death, it’s your ministry.”*^*59* *Oh, my! Down off that mountain I went, crying, screaming, top of my voice, jumping over rocks. I went down, told my wife, I said, “I’m not going to die, see, it’s—it’s—it’s my ministry.”* (\[JBP\] And he writes): *\[WSS\] «I’m not going to die»*. *(I told her to get with Billy Paul here, and take the children. I said, “Now, I don’t have anything, but the church will see that you all don’t go hungry and things, and I’ll—I’ll meet you across the border.”)*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Across the border»*. And in question mark: *\[WSS\] «What border?»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And also in the book of ***The Seals*** he tells us something there about the Sword as well; on **page 470** \[p. 559 in Eng.\] he says… And let’s also see this one over here, what he wrote there. Let’s have both books. He says:^*284* In Sabino Canyon, sitting up there that morning, I had my hands up. And my…The wind had blowed my old black hat down. When…I was standing there, with my hands up, praying. I said, “Lord God, what does this mean? I can’t understand it, Lord. What am I to do? If it’s my going-Home time, let me go up here, is where they’ll never find me. I don’t want nobody to be mourning around, if I’m going. I—I want just the family to think that I just took a walk. And they won’t find me. Hide me away somewhere. If I’m going to go away, why, let me go. Maybe Joseph will find my Bible laying here *\[WSS\] «Joseph»*, someday, and let him use It. See, if I’m going away, let me go, Lord.”\[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «Joseph = is type of Crist»*.*«‘Joseph is coming’ means: Christ is coming (in typology)»*.\[284\] And I had my hands out. And, all at once, something hit my hand (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the King’s Sword»*.^*285* I don’t know. I can’t say. Did I go to sleep? I don’t know. Or did I go into a trance? I don’t know. Was it a vision? I can’t tell you. Only thing I can say is what I…Just the same thing like them Angels was!^*286* And it struck my hand. And I looked, and it was a sword. And it had pearl handles, real pretty; and had a guard over it, with gold. And the blade looked like something like a chrome, like silver, only it was real shiny. And it was so feather-edged sharp, oh, my! And I thought, “Isn’t that the prettiest thing!” Just fit my hand! I thought, “That’s awful pretty. But,” I said, “hey, I’m always afraid of them things, a sword.” I thought, “What will I do with that?”\[JBP\] And he writes there in this other book: *\[WSS\] «The King’s Sword»*.*«Hand it over to another»*.And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «The Third Pull»*.^{[¹⁰](#sdfootnote10sym)}^*287* And just then a Voice shook down through there, that rocked the rocks. Said, “It’s the Sword of the King!” And then I come out of it.^*288* “The Sword of the King.” Now, if It said, “A sword of a king…” But It said, “The Sword of the King.” And there is only one “the King,” and that’s God. And He has one Sword, that’s His Word, what I’ve lived by. That, so help me, God; standing over His holy desk here, with this holy Word laying here! It’s the Word!\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And also in the message **“STANDING IN THE GAP,”**^{**[¹¹](#sdfootnote11sym)**} on page 24 he says… Here he also makes that… a small narration, on June 23, 1963. He says:^*89* *Then in Sabino Canyon that morning, praying…*\[JBP\] We read all of… or majority of the places, to…; he speaks a little more in each of them, and gives more light of what happened there.^*89* *Then in Sabino Canyon that morning, praying and wondering what would happen, holding my hands out to God, up on top of that mountain, that Sword dropped into my hand; with a pearl handle, and its guard over it, and a long blade about three foot long, and glisten like pot metal or like chrome…*\[JBP\] Notice, here he gives the length; in the other places he doesn’t. Here he says: \[WMB\] “About three-foot-long,” (it would be… almost 1 meter).^*\[89\]* *…and glisten like pot metal or like chrome, razor sharp. And I didn’t know what it was. And I said, “I’m afraid of these things.”*^*90* *And just then a Voice spoke, that shook the canyon. Said, “This is the Sword of the Lord.” And the Sword of the Lord is the Word of the Lord, for the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword.*\[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Sword of the Lord, of the King»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And we turn to page 25 of this same message. He says \[**“STANDING IN THE GAP”**\]:^*94* *Said it was one morning, like it was a vision. Got up in the bed, about three or four o’clock in the morning, something like that, and saw this happen. And said he screamed, look like, for days, “Brother Bill, come back!” And Roy and I have been real brothers. We live together, and hunt together, and we’re just brothers. And he—he screamed for me, till he was hoarse in his throat, “Come back! Bring him back! Bring him back,” crying. He said I… Here come that Pillar of Fire coming back, or a Cloud come back, and He set me at the head of the table, and I had been changed* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «4th Elijah, 5th Elijah»**. It was a mystery to Brother Roy, me being changed, to look different* *\[WSS\] «5th Elijah»*\_. I lay this up here for something I want to remember, “being changed,” \_*\[WSS\] «from 4th Elijah to 5th Elijah»* *when I give him the interpretation of it.*\[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «He had changed. I will see you on the island»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And also in the message **“WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION ON THE MOUNTAIN?”**^{**[¹²](#sdfootnote12sym)**} on page 24 and 25 it says:^*132* *I went up in the canyon, climbed plumb up where the eagles was flying around. I was watching some deer standing there. I knelt down to pray, and raised up my hands, and a Sword struck my hand. I looked around. I thought, “What’s that? I’m not beside myself. Here is that Sword in my hand; bright, shiny, glistening in the sun.”* (\[JBP\] And he draws a little Cornerstone and rays). *I said, “Now, there’s not people in miles of me, way up here in this canyon. Where could that come from?”**I heard a Voice, said, “That’s the King’s Sword.”**I said, “A king knights a man with a sword.”*^*133* *He, the Voice, come back, said, “Not a king’s sword, but, ‘The King’s Sword,’ the Word of the Lord.” Said, “Fear not. It’s only the Third Pull.* \[(JBP) The Third Pull\]. *It’s the vindication of your ministry.”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The final vindication»*.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The King’s Sword. Rev. 19:11-21, 1:10-20, 2, 10:1-11»*.And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «Not outside of the body»*.And over here he also writes: *\[WSS\] «The Word materialized in a Sword»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say here in this message \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] (...) And now, let’s see another place. I have a very important place here where it tells us about this. This is on page 136, paragraph 1208, of the book of *Quotations*, and it is a passage that comes from *“Questions and Answers”* of the year 1964, preached by Reverend William Branham. He is asked:^{[¹³](#sdfootnote13sym)}*1208 - “*^*\[186\]**Question 253: Will the Bride—will the Bride before Jesus comes, will She have all power of Holy Ghost to perform miracles, raise dead, and so on as in the latter rain—or is this the latter rain for the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews? Will all ministers have this, are we, or, are we just waiting for the coming?\[...\]* (Now the answer)^*197* *Now, latter rain, a hundred and forty-four thousand Jews, no, that isn’t… that… they won’t… that’s—that’s when Elijah and Moses...There’s where the miracles take place. The things that the people’s been looking for, the Pentecostals, for miracles, that’s where that’ll take place in that, under them. See, that’s Elijah’s and Moses.”*And now, according to these words and those we read before, who will have the divine power? The Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah, will have the creative Word in their mouth, to speak and things will happen by the creative power of the creative Word of God.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the book of ***Quotations***,^{[¹⁴](#sdfootnote14sym)} on page 21… Remember that by that time those ministries will be adopted: in the veil of flesh that He will have at that time. On page 21, paragraph 174, it says: *174 - “*^*634* *Oh, if the great holy Church only realized its power to do these things. But there’s so much doubt and fear and trembling, wondering if it will, ‘Could it happen?’ As long as that exists, the Church can never stand upright* (\[JBP\] there can be no doubt in the Church)*. And when every talk of fear is vanished and the Holy Spirit is completely in control of the Church, then all fears are gone, and that Church has the power. See? Why, they have everything that Heaven owns behind them. They’re ambassadors of the Throne.”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Throne»*.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «Ambassadors of the Throne»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And also on page 24, in paragraph 199, it says \[***Quotations***\]:^{[¹⁵](#sdfootnote15sym)} *199 - “*^*\[124\]**He’ll pour out that golden Oil of the Holy Ghost upon that Church. Brother, Fire will fall from Heaven, and signs and wonders will take place, like you’ve never seen before. Yes, sir. ‘Fear not, little flock, it’s your Father’s good will to give you the Kingdom.’”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Zech. 4:1-14»*.*«Golden Oil = the Holy Spirit»*.*«Rev. 7:2, 11:3»*.\[JBP\] Remember that it is from the Two Olive Trees: the ministries of Moses and Elijah, that Oil that comes out that Zechariah speaks of, chapter 4.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] To whom would he pass the two-edged Sword? To the Two Olive Trees. There is no dispute about that. The book of Revelation, in chapter 11, states that they will have the power to shut heaven, they will have the power to speak the apocalyptic plagues into existence; therefore, they will have the creative Word in their mouth, and, therefore the two-edged Sword, the King’s Sword, coming out of his mouth.(...) And now, throughout the history of the Old Testament and the New Testament we have seen in whom has been the King’s Sword, the Word of God, the creative Word: it has been in the mouth of the different messengers, of the different prophets that God has sent; in them has been the Holy Spirit; and therefore, the creative Word has been in Holy Spirit being spoken through His messengers.Having that knowledge is important, but we cannot stop there. We have to see where the King’s Sword is promised to be. According to what we have seen, the prophecies say that the Two Olive Trees will have the power to close the heavens, to speak plagues into existence, or whatever they want to speak.Therefore, the creative Word of God will be in his mouth, in the mouth of Moses and Elijah; and therefore, the King’s Sword will be there in the Last Day.To find the King’s Sword, well, we look to find where the Word of God will be for this time; and therefore, we will be looking for where it was promised.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And look in the book of ***Quotations***,^{[¹⁶](#sdfootnote16sym)} on page 107, paragraph 933, it says: *933 - “*^*\[289\]* *Because it was revealed to him what the great Truth of Christ was. And today, people say, ‘It’s a denomination.’*^*290* *It’s Jesus Christ, the new Birth, revealed in you, that He has the preeminences, that He might express His Words. And anything that He’s promised in this last days, He can bring it to pass, through His Body as He’s working.”*\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «last days»*, and the Cornerstone and the ages.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «Every promise is fulfilled through His Body»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] (...) May God allow us to see the Sword of the King of kings and Lord of lords in the Last Day in which we live; and therefore, see who was the one who inherited the blessing of receiving the King’s Sword that was in Reverend William Branham.In whom we see it: That will be the one to whom he passed it; and to whom he - or from whom he asked God, to allow him to pass it to another person who was faithful and who was (let’s see how it says it here): “Honored.”\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And look in the message **“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS,”**^{**[¹⁷](#sdfootnote17sym)**} page 8, it tells us… another place where he speaks of Sabino Canyon; he says:^*42* *Then one day in Sabino Canyon, while God called me early in the morning up there, I was up with my hands in the air, praying, and a sword came into my hands. You know that. I stood there and looked at it, just natural as my hand is now, not knowing what it meant. And it was left me with a Voice that said, “This is the Sword of the King.” And then, later, when the Angel of the Lord revealed it, It was the Word in the hand.*\[JBP\] Who revealed to him what the Sword was? The Angel of the Lord. And he draws a Star of David there, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «The King’s Sword = the Word»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And on page 479 \[p. 571 in Eng.\] of the book of ***The Seals***, it says:^*371* Lord, I pray that You’ll keep sickness away from us. May it come to pass, that when people become sick, that they’ll remember the present and all-sufficient Blood of the Lord Jesus lays on the altar, to make an atonement. And I pray that they’ll be healed immediately.^*372* And I pray that You’ll keep the power of Satan away from them, to discourage them, or to try to make them make cults. Or, just keep all the powers of the enemy away, Lord. Sanctify us to Thy Word. Grant it, Lord.^*373* Then, Lord, I pray that You’ll help me. I—I—I’m beginning to fade away, Lord. I know my days can’t be too many more. And I pray that You’ll help me, to let me be true, Lord, and honest and sincere, that I might be able to bear the Message as far as it’s ordained for me to bear. And when it comes to the time that I must lay down, and I get down to the River, and the waves begin to come in, O God, may I be able \_\[WSS\] «\_\_Elijah\_\_»\_ to hand this old Sword over to somebody else (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the Word to Moses and Elijah, the Angel of Jesus»* that’ll be honest with It, Lord, and will pack the Truth.\[JBP\] Now notice, already there he was saying that he had little time left; and two years later (already in ‘65) he left; but his ministry was going to continue.It wasn’t like many of the time of brother Branham, who are still waiting for brother Branham to come and fulfill the Third Pull; when what brother Branham is going to fulfill is rather the ministry that was in brother Branham.Just as it happened with Elijah: God tells him to anoint Jehu as king of Israel, Hazael as king of Syria, and Elisha as prophet instead of Elijah.^{[¹⁸](#sdfootnote18sym)} And he tells him that, but he didn’t anoint the first two, but went and anointed Elisha.And the sons of the prophets, when they saw that Elisha was doing the same thing that Elijah did, what did they say? “The spirit of Elijah rested upon Elisha.”^{[¹⁹](#sdfootnote19sym)} That was the attitude that those who were watching that work that Elijah’s ministry would be doing in its second manifestation had to take on: to see Elijah anointing those kings but through another veil of flesh.Just as it happened… And that there God took Elijah, he was transposed, he was raptured; even more so for them!, it was more convincing that Elijah had to come in that body to fulfill that promise; but… he did it!, but in another veil of flesh.So it happened with Moses; but this one: his body was later taken by the Archangel Michael (there in Jude it tells us about that, when the devil contended for the body of Moses)^{[²⁰](#sdfootnote20sym)}. See, and there God gave him the promise to deliver the Hebrew people from Egypt, from bondage, to bring them out, and to bring them into a land flowing with milk and honey^{[²¹](#sdfootnote21sym)}; and Moses left.Were they going to wait for Moses to come again in that body to bring them into the promised land? No. They went ahead. How? By the same ministry that took them out. It was the same ministry that was going to take them into the promised land, but in another veil of flesh: in Joshua.See how he shows us two very, very clear examples.Then, when brother William would tell us on many occasions that he was going to be transformed with all of us; and that he was going to be bringing in a Tent…, because he had been invited to bring the revelation of the Thunders, and to give the Rapturing Faith, and all those things; and God in His Plan and in His Program took him away.But he asked for more time. He comes back, and gives us a very, very big revelation, and tells us… (those of you who have it there, let’s see if I have it here) What did he say to us? **Sunday, August 13, 2017**^{**[²²](#sdfootnote22sym)**}**Cayey, Puerto Rico** (These lines of text are direct from the pen of Dr. William Soto Santiago) When you see that prophet messenger of the Seventh Seal, you will be seeing the Coming of the Lord with Moses and Elijah fulfilling the prophecies of the Third Pull in the Vision of The Great Tent Cathedral; and there you will see me again. I love you very much. \[JBP\] See where we would be seeing again the ministry that he had.Then, at a certain time of the Tent Vision, that is when he would say to me: \[WSS\] “When you see that lady come out there pushing that stretcher, that is where the resurrection will be happening.” And then there will be all the messengers with their groups in our midst, but that is already a final stage.In the meantime, God has to be fulfilling —before that— what was spoken through the mouth of our beloved brother William Soto Santiago.That Word can’t fall to the ground; God has to be working in the midst of His Church in a Great Tent Cathedral. Where? On an island! On the Island of the Lamb, in Puerto Rico.I believe that it has been spoken very clearly. Because God fulfills His Word in every age and in every dispensation according to how He already has it programmed. It is not something at the last minute: “Let’s settle it over here.” No. He had already seen all of this since before the foundation of the world.That is why he would say to me: \[WSS\] “Benjie, that is going to be too small for you.” And why did he tell me “that is going to be too small for me”? And he always said: \[WSS\] “That is going to be too small for Benjie.” You see, he was already talking, prophesying, everything that was going to happen in this place.Many times he would say: \[WSS\] “You can start this way with a few people, listening, and… in that time of Teaching…”; but then, this is going to become tiny for all that is going to be happening; not only in this place, but in all the places where that Church is prepared.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And our brother William continues saying \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] Therefore, we will again see and hear the same One who said: “Let there be light,” and there was light; who has been speaking through His different messengers through the different times; and which spoke through Jesus, spoke through the apostles, spoke through the different Messengers of every age, spoke through Reverend William Branham; and we will be seeing Him manifested, veiled and revealed, in the Last Day, in whom He will place the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, of Moses and Elijah; and therefore, we will see the anointed of God, anointed with the Holy Spirit, with the two-edged Sword coming out of His mouth.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And on page 28 of the book of ***Quotations***,^{[²³](#sdfootnote23sym)} paragraph 236, look there, it says: *236 - “*^*44* *And if God sends a representative, and He anoints this representative, and sends it into the world, the people must obey that representative. It’s always been that way, all down through the Bible.”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «To the prophet; the anointing of a representative»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And also on page 36, paragraph 297 \[***Quotations***\]:^{[²⁴](#sdfootnote24sym)} *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 he writes: *\[WSS\] «Ambassador of God = Heaven will support it, what the messenger will bind or unbind»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He continues saying \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] There will be a man; there will always be an instrument, a veil of flesh through which God through His Holy Spirit, through the Angel of the Covenant, will veil and reveal Himself, and speak His Word (and therefore: His creative Word), and open the Scriptures to us in this end time; and the blessings promised for our time will come into existence, which will be spoken and being fulfilled.Watch that Word, that two-edged Sword.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“FIVE DEFINITE IDENTIFICATIONS OF THE TRUE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD,”**^{**[²⁵](#sdfootnote25sym)**} on page 39 it says:^*172* *Who is it he’s addressing It to? To those that’s already in the Church. When you’re in Christ, you’re in His Body. Is that right? \[Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.\] Then you’re members of the Church.**Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and… the Lord Jesus Christ.**Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus…*\[JBP\] There he is quoting from Paul. And he goes on to say:^*173* *How did He do it? What did He do it? They had reached Jordan. They crossed into the promised Land, and they were setting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Here it is. “Blessed us together with Heavenly blessings,” the teaching of the Word, as the Church, the called-out Ones that’s in Christ Jesus. “As we’re setting together in Heavenly places,” like the Church, when we’re born in Christ Jesus. “The sainted, called-out Ones,” oh, my, somebody He can teach something to. Had so much trouble with the Corinthians, but not this Church. He could teach them, great things.*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «The Teaching of the Word – heavenly blessings»*.\[JBP\] They are the blessings of this time that will come into existence, such as our adoption.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] (...) Who will have for the Last Day the two-edged Sword, the King’s Sword? We have already seen that it is the Two Olive Trees.But the question then arises: And who will be Elijah and who will be Moses in the Last Day?The question is a very good one. Discover it when you see the two-edged Sword, the creative Word of God; and then you will be able to say: “It is coming out of a veil of flesh.”And find out what his name is, and then you will know who is the heir of the King’s Sword for the Last Day; for the King of kings, the Messiah, the Christ, the Anointed One, to speak that creative Word through that veil of flesh.We will see all this in the fulfillment of the Third Pull, that will culminate, will have its culminating part, in a Tent…\[JBP\] Now, if it is a veil of flesh, then he must be alive, fulfilling those prophecies.\[WSS\] We will see all this in the fulfillment of the Third Pull (\[JBP\] What are we going to see? That Word coming out through the mouth of that messenger), which will culminate, will have its culminating part, in a Tent that was seen by Reverend William Branham.The King’s Sword in the hand of the prophet, of a man, that is the Third Pull.The Seventh Seal and its work for the Last Day, that is the Third Pull.The fulfillment of the Tent Vision, that is the Third Pull; manifested in the midst of Christianity, in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.And that will come through the Sword of the King of kings and Lord of lords coming out of the mouth of the Two Olive Trees.It comes forth from God through the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, to him who is anointed with the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit operating the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Moses; those are the ministries promised to be manifested with the King’s Sword. And then we will see the Messiah, the Christ, the Anointed One.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“THE INDICTMENT,”**^{**[²⁶](#sdfootnote26sym)**} on page 66, it tells us:^*\[391\]* *I pray that You will save every one, Lord.*^*392* *May there come forth a revival of the just, and a great Power come among the Church just before Its going. I… It’s not hard to pray that, because You promised it. And we’re looking, Lord, for that third pull that we know that will do great things for us in our midst.*^*393* *I am Yours, Lord. I lay myself on this altar, just as consecrated as I know how to make myself. Take the world from me, Lord. Take the things from me that’s perishable; give me the imperishable things, the Word of God. May I be able to live that Word so closely, till the Word will be in me, and I in the Word. Grant it, Lord. May I never turn from It. May I hold that King’s Sword so tightly, and grip It so closely. Grant it, Lord.*\[JBP\] And there he writes: *\[WSS\] «The King’s Sword»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] (...) We have to obligatorily locate the veil of flesh, to locate the ministries of the Two Olive Trees and also to locate the King’s Sword, the Word of God relevant to this end time being spoken.That is what Israel is waiting for, and also the elect of Christianity of the Last Day are waiting for the same.May God help us all to see the King’s Sword, of the King of kings and Lord of lords in the ministries of the Two Olive Trees promised for the Last Day! May He allow us to see the veil of flesh and see those ministries working, and see that Word coming out of His mouth, see that two-edged Sword coming out of his mouth.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“POSSESSING ALL THINGS,”**^{**[²⁷](#sdfootnote27sym)**} it tells us on page 30:^*\[113\]* *I want His will to be done, mine to be put in the back, and—and His will do be done. I want to have the victor’s march. Not because it’s me; because I know that the Gospel that He preached is suffering today on account of denominational man-made dogmas and everything else. The great victory that we should have has been held back by the enemy. God, let me pull this Sword, let It sparkle and shine, and march forward. Let my will be in the back, and His Word going in front like that, a sharp two-edged Sword making a way.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Sword»*. And he also writes on the front: *\[WSS\] «The two-edged Sword making way»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And our brother William goes on to say \[**“THE SWORD OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”**\]:\[WSS\] That will give us faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and also faith for divine healing…\[JBP\] In other words, that which will be taking place, that Teaching under Tent, will give us (what?) the Rapturing Faith. That which will be happening there will give us the Rapturing Faith, and also divine healing.And the healing that we all desire is the healing of this body: to be transformed, to be changed. Well that is already happening: from within us; because it is around the Word that we are going to be transformed. The same thing happened with Abraham and Sarah.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He says \[WSS\] That will give us faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and also faith for divine healing, because in the Tent Vision there was divine healing by the creative Word of God being spoken, by the two-edged Sword.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And look in the book of ***Quotations***,^{[²⁸](#sdfootnote28sym)} on page 26, there is also a place there he says, in paragraph 214: *214 - “*^*13* *Now we’re trying, each night, to find something that I’m seeking after. And that is, that, God by a vision has told me that my ministry is making its third change. And I’m longing for it to begin here at the tabernacle. I don’t know whether it will or not, but I am longing for it to do that. And I trust that it’ll be some way that will… I will be able to preach the Gospel in such a way, or do something that will help suffering humanity to a happier way of life, and a more healthier way of life. It’s my sincere desire.”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The 3rd Pull — The Tent Vision»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And also in the message **“STANDING IN THE GAP,”**^{**[²⁹](#sdfootnote29sym)**} on page 43, there he tells us… It is here at the end of the message, when he is praying; there he says:^*179* *Heavenly Father, we thank You now for Your goodness and Your mercy. You are ever in our midst. Give me, Lord, Oil in my lamp. Give me the—the—the—the Rod of the Lord, that I might stretch It out, up over the sick and afflicted. That I might bring It out upon… to bring deliverance to those who are needy, and judgment to those who are rejecting It.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Oil in the lamp»*.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Deliverance — to those who are needy»*.*\[WSS\] «Judgment — to those who reject It»*.\[JBP\] We stand, and so let us leave on this occasion, in this important subject that we have today: **“THE MYSTERY OF THE DIVINE SIMPLICITY.”**\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] There is another place… Look, on 23… Since in that one of “STANDING IN THE GAP,” he says something there. But in this quote, see: page 23, paragraph 186, says \[***Quotations***\]:^{[³⁰](#sdfootnote30sym)} *186 - “*^*116* *She run into the city, and she said, ‘Come, see a Man that told me the things that I’ve done. Isn’t this the Messiah?’*^*117* *And He never did that, one time, to a Gentile. Why? He left it till this day. That’s what He said here, ‘In the days when the Son of man shall reveal Himself from Heaven.’ He’s revealing Himself now* *\[WSS\] «in Elijah»*\_, to the Church, for mercy. The next time He reveals Hisself\_ *\[WSS\] «in Moses and Elijah»*\_, is in destruction\_ (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «6th Seal»**, to those who has rejected the Message* *\[WSS\] «Elijah and Moses».”*\[JBP\] And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «The Son of Man reveals Himself twice»*.\[JBP\] May God continue to help us to understand and see that two-edged Sword in the midst of the Church, revealing to us through the Word, through the Message brought to us by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, all that we need to know in order to obtain perfect faith, the Rapturing Faith.**“THE MYSTERY OF THE DIVINE SIMPLICITY.”**We immediately leave with us our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.\* \* \*
