Jose B. Perez*\] Thank you very much, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, and to all those who are there with you, your wife Ruth. I also greet all those who are from different countries there in Santiago, Chile, the congregation that Reverend Patricio Lara pastors and all those present there.And also all those who are here, who are visiting us; our brother Ivan Sarmiento: May God bless you greatly, and his wife Amanda, a privilege to have you with us; and the different brethren from Colombia who have already been introduced. Also, to our brother Epifanio Lopez and those who accompany him as well. And all those who are here from different countries, and those who are connected through the satellite Amazonas or internet today, Sunday, February 12 of this year 2023.Today is also the birthday of the daughter of our brother Miguel Bermudez and Ruth: Our sister Jerusalen Bermudez Florez, whose birthday is today. And also our daughter Erica Gabriela, it is her birthday today as well. So Miguel and I, and Ruth and my wife Sara, are also having birthdays, because it is our daughter’s birthdays. So God bless them greatly. And also to all those who are having and will be having a birthday during this month of February.Today I feel very, very happy, very glad. God has given us great blessings all these days; and all that He has been showing us…I remember when he was telling me, in those last nights, and most especially the last one… Everything that is happening is exactly what he spoke to me. And as one sees the fulfillment of all that Word that that messenger of God brought to the Church…; of which (this stage) He said to brother Branham: \[WMB\] “Of this you shall tell no one.”^{[¹](#sdfootnote1sym)}And that is why many can look for, and try to (on their own) look for the Rapturing Faith, and they will not find it; because it wasn’t spoken of, it wasn’t preached of what would be and what would give the Rapturing Faith.As it is being fulfilled, there we would be seeing the fulfillment of the Third Stage, of that Third Pull that He said: \[WMB\] “Do not say anything about this.”In other words, you will not find anywhere what God is fulfilling and will be fulfilling, let’s say, from now that I am talking until tomorrow, because there is nothing written.It is all God working in the present, fulfilling all that which the Angel said to him: \[WMB\] “You are not going to say anything about it.” We are going to know it as we are seeing the fulfillment. And that is what gives God’s people, God’s elect, the Rapturing Faith.There is no other place where you can find the Rapturing Faith if it is not in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision. I can assure you that.Because the security that God has given us is in the Word, and it is also here: in the heart. In other words, we are here and we are on the safe side: We are going to get there! I can assure you of that!Because he left the most important thing you and I need: The Title Deed. He didn’t take it back, he handed it over; and that is where all the wisdom is, the knowledge, of what you and I need to soon be adopted.You will remember this Sunday morning when we are at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.Now, others are going to keep looking for other ways and they are going to say: *“But isn’t there supposed to be a rapture?”* “It already happened,” they will be told. But they are all predestined too, because they are virgins, and they are predestined for that purpose; which, in the way they are doing, they are also doing well, because they are preparing themselves to then give their lives in the great tribulation.Because the Third Pull is for the Church-Bride, for the foolish and for the lost, for all the groups; and of course, the 144,000 who will see Him.In other words, the entire mankind will be impacted by the Third Pull; and it starts with us, with the Bride, who is the one that needs to leave here before the divine judgments fall upon this planet Earth.But for us, brother Branham says: \[WMB\] “When that squeeze comes, that persecution, don’t get scared. There is a Light that will take His Bride, His Church away; She’ll not go through the tribulation.”^{[²](#sdfootnote2sym)}So you tell me if that is not a reason for joy and happiness.Of course it is. It is a reason to rejoice!And he will say to me: “You did what I told you to do, good and faithful servant.”Today the topic is: **First Regional Youth Congress Mineiro THE MYSTERY OF THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS INDICATING THE TIME** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Friday, November 14, 1997 (Fourth activity) Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil* \[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He used the Scripture of Genesis, chapter 1, from verse 14 to 19. And we read in the Gospel according to Luke, in chapter 21, this portion that we all know, where it tells us: **verse 25** in **chapter 21** of **Luke**:^*25* \_And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;\_ ^*26* \_Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.\_ ^*27* \_And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.\_ ^*28* \_And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh\_ (\[JBP\] In other words, our transformation)*.* **THE MYSTERY OF THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS INDICATING THE TIME** \[\_Rev. Jose B. Perez\_\] It tells us in the message: **PREPARING OURSELVES FOR WHAT IS TO COME** *Dr. William Soto Santiago* *Sunday, October 25, 2015* *Santiago de Chile, Chile*Tsunamis and tidal waves make the sea roar, bellow, and anyone would get scared; and also the signs in the sun, the moon and the stars.In these past days we saw the planetary alignment, where five planets were in line with the moon; a very important sign, since when Christ was born there were also signs in the sky, called the Star of Bethlehem by some people; and there was also a visit of angels, singing, because when a King is born there are songs.These signs, whenever they occur, are marking in the Divine Program the time when God is going to carry out on Earth a program that corresponds to that time; first He shows it in heaven and then He does it on Earth, among human beings.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“THE SIGN OF THE TIME,”**^{**[³](#sdfootnote3sym)**} preached by our brother Branham, on page 14 and 15 says:^*34* *And notice now, what taken place. And all these bishops and cardinals and so forth, they couldn’t understand what this supernatural was. So then they all shook up, they all were. They didn’t know what to do. There was a supernatural something taken place and nobody had the answer. Blessed be the Lord God.**The same thing’s taking place, and they don’t have the answer. There’s a handwriting on the wall, and they haven’t got the answer. The nation’s all shook up.**We thought we had the best scientists. We thought the had the best everything, but there’s an—almost a two ton sputnik circling this place tonight, and we don’t know nothing about it.**What did Billy Graham say just the last few weeks? There isn’t one thing to keep us from being Russia’s satellite by in the morning, not a thing. They’re so far ahead of us till it’s a shame.*\[JBP\] He writes: *\[WSS\] «Russia / USA / satellites»*.^*35*\_ What does real scientists say about it? Seeing them interviewed the other day, said, “Should we alarm the people, or should we just keep it to ourselves? What do you want to say about it?” He said, “There’s not a thing to keep them from doing it.” They’ll not let us know all their secrets. And but some night that satellite up there could go…What would it hinder tonight for about six of them to go up, and come right over the United States, and say, with these hydrogen weapons…\_ (\[JBP\] And he writes): *\[WSS\] «satellites»*\_. We couldn’t get to them. So, “All right. Surrender or go to ashes.” What would take place? That can happen before morning. It would not disagree with the Bible; it would fulfill the Bible. The nations are ready for it.\_ *Handwriting’s not on the wall now, but it’s in the skies where Jesus said it would be: “There’ll be signs in the heavens above; men’s hearts failing…”*^{*[⁴](#sdfootnote4sym)*}\[JBP\] He writes there: *\[WSS\] «Signs in the heavens: the satellites* (\[JBP\] notice, satellites are signs)*, UFOs, planes, rockets, etc.»*. \[JBP\] He places them there as signs in the heavens.^*\[35\]* *“…perplexed of—distress of nations, perplexed of time, the sea a roaring.” Never know of a history ever had the big tidal waves that we’re having now. Look at Chicago last Sunday and all up-and-down the coast. Perplexed of time, distress between the nations, the handwriting on the wall… And the return of the power of the Holy Ghost to the church.*^*36* *The prophet said there’ll be a day. Listen close now; don’t miss this. The prophet said*^{*[⁵](#sdfootnote5sym)*} *there’d come a day that it wouldn’t be night nor day, but in the evening time, it would be Light. How does the civilization travel? From the east westward, always. China’s the oldest civilization. We’ve already come to where the east and west meets. (Wish we had a few more days that I could preach on that: “When The East And West Meets.”)*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «China / Pacific ocean / America»*. *How did civilization and Christianity begin on their little country? By the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the appearing of the Lord Jesus, signs and wonders taking place. Then the lights went out. It’s been a day of dismal, neither night nor day. What is it? Enough to say there was a Bible, teach it as a historical thing, something happened back there. But no power, just so they just join church and that’s it. It’s just dismal; they haven’t got enough light. But when the sun goes down in the west, He promised that He’d shine the same Light on the western people that He shined on the eastern* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages)\_. Oh, it’s here: the Lord God has come in the power of the Holy Ghost, and He’s showing the same signs and wonders that He showed on the eastern people two thousand years ago. She’s been dismal and dark, but in the evening, it shall be Light. We’re at the end time.\_ ^*37* *And in them days the church, the lanes and the broad ways, men’s hearts failing. More heart disease… What? That’s not women, men. He never said women’s hearts; men’s hearts.**Oh, science and insurance companies say, “It’s ninety percent men.” Men’s hearts fail; a sign, a post. Fearful sights in the heaven above: sputniks.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «satellites in the heavens»*.**ISRAEL, GOD’S CLOCK** – **Introduction—** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Friday, April 29, 2016 Encarnacion, Itapua, Paraguay*Remember that *angels* or *angel* means ‘messenger.’\[JBP\] That is why on many occasions, when he says: \[WSS\] “The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ,” you have to be able to identify who he is referring to. Once you can identify in first person, another time in second person, and you will know who he is speaking about; but it is still the same God; it is the same Pillar of Fire working through that instrument that He has at that moment.\[WSS\] They are the ministries of Moses and Elijah that will be repeated in the end time. And Christ comes with His Angels to carry out the Harvest, to call and gather the elect of the Hebrew people, which are 144,000, 12,000 from each tribe; and He also calls and gathers the elect of His Church in this end time.Therefore, let us be in expectation, because something great is going to take place in the Divine Program, and we are going to see it with our own eyes (\[JBP\] and he is talking in 2016): we are going to see Christ fulfilling what He showed on Mount Transfiguration (\[JBP\] And what is it that God showed there? Jesus, Moses and Elijah; Jesus being adopted); showing what He promised: that the Son of Man would come in His Kingdom with power and glory, and that He would come with His Angels to call and gather God’s elect.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“IN HIS PRESENCE,”**^{**[⁶](#sdfootnote6sym)**} preached by Reverend William Branham, he tells us something very important here. On page 18, speaking of the prophet Isaiah:^*62* *Isaiah, that mighty prophet, when he confessed his sins, he said, “Woe is me, for I’m a man of unclean lips.” A prophet! “I’m a man of unclean lips, and my congregation’s unclean.” See? “The people I preach to, they’re unclean. I’m unclean. And woe is me.* (\[JBP\] Isaiah says there) *But here comes a bunch of Angels down from the Glory of God, fanning back the—the clouds, and I look up there and see His train filling the whole Heaven.”*\[JBP\] That is, when those angels come, he sees His train there filling the whole Heaven.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The train or garments of God: the angels. God dresses with: »*.^*\[62\]* *“And I watch these Angels that’s never knowed what sin was. They never even knowed what sin was, and there, in the Presence of God, they got two wings over their faces, they got two wings over their feet, and they’re flying with two wings, and they cry day and night, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God.’” Whew. That’d make you feel kind of unholy, wouldn’t it? Now, what did he do? He said, “Woe is me.”*\[JBP\] Now, that was what Reverend William Branham told us in *The Seals*, speaking of the opening of the Seventh Seal there in Heaven. Look at page 465…Because here, Isaiah is in the presence of God, and he sees these seraphim there flying and crying out: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord!”; and he is before their presence, that is, before the presence of God; and it is seen there that he is unclean \[Isaiah 6:1-7\]. Because where the presence of God is, there can be no impurity, there can be no sin; and being in the presence of God, there he realizes that he is unclean.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now look at page **465** \[p. 554 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\] of ***The Seals***. It says:^*238* Notice, the breaking of this Seal (\[JBP\] of the Seventh Seal) was so great, that, Heaven was hushed by It, “in silence, for the space of a half hour.” Now, is It great! What is It? It was hushed, Heavens. There wasn’t a thing moved, for a half hour.^*239* Now, a half hour might not be long if you’re having a good time. But, in the suspense of between death and Life, it seemed like a Millennium. It was so great!Jesus never mentioned It. None of the rest of them (\[JBP\] that is, none of the seven angel messengers).^*240* John couldn’t even write of It. No, he was forbidden to write here. \[Brother Branham pats his Bible two times—Ed.\] See, there’s just a…just…He didn’t write It, but this is silence.^*241* And the four and twenty elders that stood before God, There, harping with their harps; they quit playing their harps.The Angels hushed their singing, in Heaven.^*242* Think! The holy Cherubims and Seraphims, that Isaiah saw It in the temple, with six sets… or three sets of wings. Three… Two over his face, and two over his feet, and flying. And he’s day and night, there, before God, singing, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty!” And even when they walked in, or come into the temple, the posts of the temple moved, with their—their presence (\[JBP\] look at that!).^*243* And these holy Seraphims hushed up. Angels quit singing. Uh-huh. Whew! Flying in the Presence of God, singing, “Holy, holy, holy,” They shut up. No Angels singing. No praises. No—no altar service. No, nothing. There was silence; hushed, deadly silence in Heaven, for a half hour.^*244* All the host of Heaven was silent for this half hour, when this Seventh-Seal mystery in the Book of Redemption was broke open. Think of it. But, It’s broke. The Lamb breaks It. You know what? They were awed by It, I believe. They didn’t know; there It was! They just stopped.^*245* Why? What is It?\[JBP\] And there everything he writes on that page.^{[⁷](#sdfootnote7sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, that in Habakkuk speaks to us, in **chapter 2** of **Habakkuk**, where it tells us; **verse 20** and on, it says:^*20* \_But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.\_ \[JBP\] See how with the opening of the Seventh Seal in Heaven that silence is made, and everyone stops playing, praising; and also any movement, is also ceased; and it is so that the enemy of God, the devil, doesn’t see and imitate, that is, so he doesn’t know what it is.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, here Isaiah is in the presence of God and he feels unclean. And brother Branham says: \[WMB\] “Imagine, a prophet! And feeling unholy.” It continues on to say in the message **“IN HIS PRESENCE”** \[P. 15\]:^*63*\_ And when he confessed his sins and said “woe is me,” the Angel went over and took the tongs, picked up a coal of fire which represented the Holy Ghost and Fire, and come over and laid it on the prophet’s lips, and said, “I’ve cleansed you\_ (\[JBP\] and he writes next to it): *\[WSS\] «sin taken away»*\_.” Then the wings winnowing their way like that, moved away the curtains of time, and he heard God say, “Who will go for us?”\_ ^*64* *But after he found out that there was a way to rid sin, God wanted somebody to **go for Him**…*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «take away sin»*.And in \[WMB\] “go for Him,” he draws a Pyramid and the arrow towards the Cornerstone, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «the Most Holy Place»*.^*\[64\]**…and he said, “Here am I, send me.” He had been in the Presence of God, and had confessed his sins, and been cleansed from his sins, and was ready for service. Amen.*^*65**As the poet caught that, said, “Millions now in sin and shame are dying, listen to their sad and bitter cry. Hasten, brother, hasten to their rescue; quickly answer, ‘Master, here am I.’”*^*66**When I think of Africa, India, and around the world, millions of heathens screaming and crying for mercy, and who will go? Not pass them a tract, but bring them Jesus Christ. Somebody in His Presence, like Moses, who could go down there* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David) *and show them true deliverance…*\[JBP\] And *here* he draws a Pyramid, and above it a Star of David.^*\[66\]**Not make them join a church, or shake hands and have a creed, but bring deliverance to their soul; some good godly man. Yes, Isaiah confessed his sins and was cleansed.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] There is a quote where he says that there is so much need in the world, or because there will be…: \[WMB\] “There’s such a need.” Page 26, paragraph 216, it says, halfway \[***Quotations***\]:^{[⁸](#sdfootnote8sym)} *216 - “*^*\[9\]**So, seemingly, maybe, I will continue on until that maybe the tent starts, or wherever it is He has chosen to begin to declare His Name in a new way. But when It does, it’ll be just as perfect as the others. It’ll be just… And I’m trusting to God that it will be greater than the others* (\[JBP\] in other words, the First and Second Pull). *Not because of—of our ministry, but because of the sick and needy people. There’s such a need in the land today!”*\[JBP\] In other words, that Third Pull, notice, it will be of blessing in that stage where the Tent Vision will be in full fulfillment. That is why you see that when the Angel showed him that line it was endless.^{[⁹](#sdfootnote9sym)} In other words, there was in those days something that had happened, and the only place to go —and surely word had spread, that miracles and wonders were taking place— was in that place.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Notice what he goes on to say here. I am on page 19 of the message **“IN HIS PRESENCE”** (and there he goes to Jacob). It says \[P. 15\]:^*67* *After Jacob had wrestled all night, in confessing his sins, you remember the place he was? It was called Peniel, P-e-n-i-t-e-l, Peniel. The word* Peniel*, in the Hebrew, means “the face of Almighty God.” Jacob, the little shyster had run all…* (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «face, face to face»* *his name was* Jacob\_, which means “supplanter,” that’s deceiver, had run all of his life, away from God, but when he got one time in the Presence of God at Peniel, in the face of God, he got a hold of God and wouldn’t turn Him loose\_ (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Peniel»* (\[JBP\] in a Cornerstone and the ages). *God, we need more Jacobs. He held on to the face of God, in the Presence of God, he stayed until it was sunup. God said, “Let Me go, because the sun’s arising.” And he stayed in the face of God until sunup, but he went away justified and saved. Huh.*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «Rev. 10:1-11, Matthew 17:1-8, Malachi 4:1-6»*.^*68* *Oh, what a great thing it was, now, to know that he had wrestled through. That’s, he had seen signs of God, he had had dreams about God, but this was one time he was in the face of God, in the Presence of God.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Pyramid and the ages; and in the Pyramid he makes an upside-down Pyramid, and there he forms the Star of David. And here on the right he draws another Star of David.^*\[68\]*\_ Think of it, friends. Now, as we hurry up. In the Presence of God, a man is changed. Jacob was changed. Now he could walk with God. Yes, he was a different man than what he was when he went up there. The battle was now over. Yes, sir. And he begin to build an altar\_ (\[JBP\] and there he draws another Star of David)\_. He hadn’t been used to building altars, you know. But, I tell you, when you come in the Presence of God, you want to build an altar somewhere. You want to find somewhere where you can pray. He built an altar. He was cleansed, and God had won.\_ ^*69* *And Jacob was changed from* Jacob*, “supplanter,” to* Israel*, “a prince, having power with God.”* (\[JBP\] And there he draws a Star of David as well)*. That’s what happened to Jacob. The supplanter, the deceiver, the unrighteous, the unholy, the deceiver, deceived his brother, stole the birthrights, as it was, from his brother, took a little dirty way of doing it, such a deceiver. He deceived his father-in-law. Put poplar sticks and made speckled calves, when the cows being pregnated come there, look at it, and the sheep… would see that speckled stick and make speckled cattle, give them birth marks. Deceiver, deceiving his own father-in-law. Deceived his mother, deceived his daddy, deceived his brother, but when he once got in the… He was a shyster. He was running everywhere he went, always on the run from God, he was on the run from his brother. But when he come into the Presence of God, he recognized he was a sinner.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Pyramid, and an arrow towards the Pyramid. Notice, he entered into the presence of God.^*\[69\]*\_ What did he do? What did he do? He seen his opportunity. He had met something that he didn’t even think about before, and he stayed there until all sins was gone. Oh, my! God got him in His Own Presence\_ (\[JBP\] and there he draws a Star of David)*.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, that is what it also tells us in the book of ***The Seals***: on page 351 \[p. 414 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\], it says:^*\[191\]* …this is when Israel received the Message of the kingdom (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Message of the Kingdom»*, by the two prophets of Revelation 11. Remember, Israel is a nation, God’s servant, nation. And when—when—when Israel is brought in, it’ll be a—a national affair.^*192* Israel, the kingdom age, is where David…the Son of David, sits on the throne. That’s the reason that woman cried, “Thou Son of David!” And David is to… Son of David! God swore by Him, to David, that He would raise up His Son that would take his throne. It would be an everlasting throne. See? It’d have no end. Solomon give it, in a type, in the temple. And Jesus just told them here, that’s, “There won’t be a rock left on one of them.” But He is trying to tell them here, what’s… He is coming back.\[JBP\] And he wrote: *\[WSS\] «Upon the Throne, Son of David»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] It goes on to say \[**“IN HIS PRESENCE”**\] \[P. 16\]:^*70* *God manages a way to get men in their Presence, then they make their decision. Some of them run from Him, some run to Him.*\[JBP\] And that is what in this end time in the Golden Age, the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, where the Most Holy Place is fulfilled…; and it is there that the presence of God is. And in the Presence of God, notice, it says:^*70*\_ God manages a way to get men in their Presence\_ (\[JBP\] and there he draws a Cornerstone; that is, the Age of the Cornerstone),\_ then they make their decision\_ (\[JBP\] because each person has free will; and in the presence of God they make the corresponding decision).\[JBP\] It says:^*\[70\]* *Some of them run from Him* (\[JBP\] that is, they leave the Presence of God, where God is)\_,\_ \_some run to Him\_ (\[JBP\] when they see Him, they go to Him)*.* *If they’re predestinated to Life, they believe It, they hang onto It. If they’re not, they try to get away and say, “There’s nothing to It.” See? And that’s the guy that’s lost. “The guy that confesses his sin, shall have pardon. If you hide your sin, you’ll not prosper.” No.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David.^*71* *So Jacob when he, you know, the next day he met Esau his brother. He didn’t need no help from him then. He didn’t need his armies. He was in business building altars. He wasn’t afraid of Esau no more.*^*72* *Psalms 16:8, David said, “I have set the Lord before me.” That’s a good thing to do. Psalms 16:8, “I have set the Lord before me.”*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «God before me = conscious of the presence of God»*.\[JBP\] That is, conscious of where we are: in the presence of God.^*\[72\]*\_ So, he could not be confused about it. He wanted to be conscious of His Presence, so David said, “I have set the Lord always before my face. Now I, David, have set the Lord before my face, always to be conscious—conscious of God’s Presence\_ (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David)*.” Wouldn’t that be a good lesson for all of us tonight? Set the Lord before our face so we’ll be conscious of His Presence. Put Him first. Why? Put Him first, before you. Why? Then you won’t sin when you are realizing that constantly you’re in the Presence of God. When you realize God is around, you watch what you say.*^*73* *A man, when he thinks God is gone, he’ll cuss, he’ll lust after women, he’ll do… he’ll steal, cheat, lie. He’ll do anything when he thinks that God don’t see him. But bring him into the Presence of God, he’ll stop it right now* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Cornerstone)\_. See? And David said, “I have put the Lord always before me.” That’s a good thing. No wonder God said he was a man after His Own heart. Man will do everything when he thinks that God isn’t near\_ (\[JBP\] that is, he will make destruction when he is not near)*. But when he realizes that God’s near, did you ever notice a sinner? Let a godly person walk up, he’ll quit his cussing, if he’s got any respects at all* (\[JBP\] if he has respect, he will stop cursing)*. See? He won’t tell the dirty jokes that he would have told. See? See, he’ll leave off that, because he knows that he’s in the Presence of God, ’cause God dwells in the tabernacle of His people. See?*\[JBP\] And he draws a Star of David. And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Church, Temple»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the book of ***Quotations***,^{[¹⁰](#sdfootnote10sym)} on page 20, paragraph 155, look at what it says there: *155 - “*^*\[555\]*\_You may impersonate a Christian. But there will, by-and-by, come a time when the strain will be put on\_ (\[JBP\] a time of test)*, then it’ll show what you are. A chain is its strongest at its weakest link.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] It goes on to say (I’m on page 21) \[**“IN HIS PRESENCE”**\] \[P. 17\]:^*74* *After David did this, he said, “My heart shall rejoice.” I wish you’d read it, Psalms 16. “My heart will rejoice, and my flesh shall rest in hope.” Why? My heart shall rejoice because I’ve got God before me all the time. “And my flesh shall rest in hope; if I die, I’ll be raised up again. For He’ll not suffer His Holy One to see corruption, neither will He leave His soul in hell.” See? When David put God before him, and was conscious that constantly he was in the Presence of God. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.”*\[JBP\] Now notice, that Scripture of that psalm, where it says that “thou shalt not suffer His holy one to see corruption,”^{[¹¹](#sdfootnote11sym)} it was fulfilled in the First Coming of the Lord; and it will be fulfilled under the ministry of Moses and Elijah in the instrument that God has in this time. He will not allow the time for that body to pass and begin to corrupt (that is, after 72 hours); because Revelation 11, there it shows us what is going to happen to the one who will have those ministries.It was not fulfilled in the past, it is fulfilled in the present.^*75* *Now listen, church, I love you. And I want you to…*\[JBP\] Now, remember that this is already an adopted ministry, just as Jesus’ ministry was adopted at His First Coming. And He could say: “No one takes my life from me, I lay it down of Myself to take it up again.”^{[¹²](#sdfootnote12sym)}^*75* *Now listen, church, I love you. And I want you to listen to me now. As Brother McCullough used to say, “I’m going to say something.” Always put the Lord before you, and don’t you do nothing that you wouldn’t do in His Presence, because He’s watching over you. See? The Lord is encamped about those who fear Him. He don’t… He just stays right near you. And He knows everything you’re doing, and you must recognize that. When you start to tell a lie, don’t do it, remember, God is listening at you. If you start to do a little cheat, don’t you do it, God’s looking at you* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David)*. If you start to take His Name in vain, don’t do it, God’s listening at you. Start to smoke a cigarette, He’s watching you. See? His… We used to sing a song, “All along on the road to the soul’s true abode, there’s an eye watching you; every step that you take, this great eye is awake, there’s an eye watching you.” Remember, do like David, put the Lord always before your face. Then your heart will rejoice and your flesh shall rest in hope, for He promised it. Yes, sir. He knew that he would raise up because God had promised it. All right.*^*76* *When we come into His Presence, we’re changed, never to be the same.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone, and a Star of David inside.Now, that is why I had told you: “Look back on yourself and see if you are the same.” Something has changed you.Because, just as with Isaiah, and just as with Jacob, and just as with David (he set the example there too), they all entered into the Presence of the Lord, in the Presence of God, and realized that they were unholy. And it has been this stage in which we are living now, in which we have entered into the Presence of God, that you have realized the things that were wrong.Because why did you do things five years ago or ten years ago that you do not do now? Because this is the time of the Most Holy Place, of the Presence of God, where God demands holiness for Him to come to dwell in all His fullness in His Church.That did not happen in the Dispensation of Grace, that happens in this Dispensation of the Kingdom, where He is in the midst of His people.And as we enter into His presence we have to do as Isaiah did: recognize; and there fix, and continue our trajectory so that we will be —from one moment to the next— perfect in these bodies.\[WMB\] “Give me a perfect church,”^{[¹³](#sdfootnote13sym)} brother Branham says. That is going to come, so that He fulfills all that is yet to be fulfilled in these days.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look on page 22 (to not read all that); in the middle of the paragraph it says, speaking of Peter, it says \[**“IN HIS PRESENCE”**\] \[P. 18\]:^*79* *Peter, a fisherman, knowed nothing about fishing… or knowed nothing about God, only thing he probably knowed was how to catch fish. But when he come in the Presence of God, and see the great Creator Who could create fish, when He told him to let down the nets for the draw. There wasn’t any fish there, he just pulled his nets up. But he said, “At Thy Word, Lord. I believe that You’re the Son of God, and if You let…if I let down the net, You told me to do it; at Your Word, because You and Your Word are the same, I let down the net.” And when he begin to pull, he said, “Depart, Lord, I’m a sinful man.” See, a fisherman, after Peter met Christ he was never the same anymore. He, afterwards, was so true to God, he was given the keys to the Kingdom.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Jesus created fishes»*. And he draws a Pyramid and inside he draws a Star of David.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, it goes on to say where we stopped, in the message **“ISRAEL, GOD’S CLOCK (Introduction),”** it says:\[WSS\] Let us lift up our heads to Heaven! Because God’s Clock is marking the hour for the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, to call and gather His elect, both of the Hebrew people and of Christianity.(...) That is the most important thing: to be prepared for the Coming of the Son of Man; because when He fully fulfills His Coming, there will be no more time to prepare.\[JBP\] In other words, when that time comes where the dead in Christ resurrect and we are transformed, there is no more time to wait there: *“Ah, now that you are coming, let us now prepare, let us now receive the Rapturing Faith.”* The Rapturing Faith at that moment was already given to the Church.\[WSS\] …because when He fully fulfills His Coming, there will no longer be time to prepare (\[JBP\] he is speaking in 2016). That is the time for our transformation, for those who are prepared waiting for the Coming of the Messiah, the Coming of Christ with His Angels in this end time.God’s Clock is marking that it is the time. We are in the hour for Christ to come with His Angels and fulfill His Program of calling the elect, of gathering the Harvest, and take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in this end time.\[JBP\] Now notice how there he says that he is waiting for that moment: that from one moment to another He will come with His Angels. There he is already forerunning, prophesying, of the fulfillment of the Coming of those ministries again in the midst of His Church for the gathering of that remnant, both of Christianity and Judaism.**THE STONE WITH A NEW NAME** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, January 8, 2017 Cayey, Puerto Rico*For which, just as Christ was protected by being taken to Egypt, the Second Coming of the Lord to the gentiles will be protected; and when the Jews see the Lord coming in the fulfillment of His Coming, they will say: “This is the One we are waiting for”; for He will be doing what the Messiah, the Son of David, is promised to do in this end time in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Stone not cut out without hands.When the Stone cut out without hands from the Mount, the Mount of God, appears, this indicates that the end of the gentile kingdom has begun.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message **“FORMER AND LATTER RAIN,”**^{**[¹⁴](#sdfootnote14sym)**} it tells us on page 9 and 10:^*\[20\]*\_ I may go down in history yet, if there is a history, as a fanatic, as a crank; but at the day of the judgment I can stand and say I warned the people of the wrath that is to come. And it’s at your hand. It could happen at any time. You see how close the world is to collapsing into the hands of the atomic bombs\_ (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «atomic»*\_. But yet the Church is to be gone before that takes place. How close is the coming of the Lord?\_ ^*21*\_ A strange thing, our Lord, when He was here on earth, He taught more of His second coming than He did of His going away then\_ (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «2nd Coming»**. Read the Scriptures; find out how much He talked of His second coming. Better than eighty percent of His talk was on His second coming* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «80% of His preaching»**, not what was then, His sacrifice and the going away, but the second coming. He gave the people warnings. He never feared to give them warning. Let’s see some of the things that He did.**If Jesus talked so much, eighty percent of His time on the second coming, then it behooves us to listen to see what He said would take place. He said, “You’ll hear of nation raising against nation, kingdom against kingdom,*^{*[¹⁵](#sdfootnote15sym)*} *you’ll hear of all these things. And this temple will be tore down, and not one stone left on the other.”*^{*[¹⁶](#sdfootnote16sym)*} *He said, “But that’s not the end yet.”*^{*[¹⁷](#sdfootnote17sym)*} *He goes ahead and tells how things would take place. And right down at the end, He said, “But when you see the fig tree* *\[WSS\] «Israel*\_»\_ *putting forth its buds and all the other trees* *\[WSS\] «the other nations»**,” said, “then you know summer’s nigh. Likewise when you see this, know that it’s now at the door; and verily, I say, this generation shall not pass until all be fulfilled.”*^{*[¹⁸](#sdfootnote18sym)*}^*22* *Look, the Baptists has got a revival, Billy Graham. The Catholic is having a revival. And the Methodists is having a revival, some of them, and some of the Baptists. Pentecost has got a revival: Oral Roberts and so forth, great men of God who’s gone forth in a revival. And Israel’s got a revival. God deals with Gentiles as individuals, Israel as a nation.**And Israel for her first time for twenty-five hundred years is restored again to Jerusalem. O people, don’t let that go over your head. That’s the fig tree putting forth its buds. This generation. Forty years is declared a generation* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «One generation = are 40 years».*\[JBP\] And in “THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL” he had written that a generation also… he writes: *\[WSS\] «70 years =one generation».*^{*[¹⁹](#sdfootnote19sym)*}^*\[22\]* *We’re into the last generation.**Watch what He said would take place.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] It goes on to say in this message **“THE STONE WITH A NEW NAME,”** it says:\[WSS\] Therefore, let us be prepared, because a great blessing is promised for me and for each one of you, too.In the Coming of the Stone with His New Name - with a New Name, there is a great blessing that will give us the faith, the revelation to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.This is a very important year in the Divine Program, both for the believers in Christ as well as for the Jews…\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he had written, in 2016, on a card; look, he writes: *\[WSS\] «June 16, 2016»*; in other words, that was on that date, two days after his birthday.And do you remember when brother Branham at Christmas of 1964, he said (which we read recently)^{[²⁰](#sdfootnote20sym)} that he did not…: \[WMB\] “Possibly we are not going to see each other next Christmas”^{[²¹](#sdfootnote21sym)}?And here brother William is writing this; and we know that he already on June 14, 2017, there he had been told that his time was over; and he writes there:*\[WSS\] «The Jewish prophecy of the tenth Jubilee: the Messiah’s Kingdom will begin in 2017»*.\[JBP\] Now, notice, what was he speaking there when he wrote that (in other words, what he wrote there)? That already in that year 2017 that Kingdom would begin. Remember that the Age of the Cornerstone is a Jewish Age.^{[²²](#sdfootnote22sym)}\[JBP\] And look, He does a lot of calculations there; and then, on the back, he writes:*\[WSS\] «Moses lived 120 years, then he entered into the promised land»*.*«The Earth lives 120 jubilees, and then the 7th millennium will enter, of rest for the Earth»*.\[JBP\] And next to it he writes: *\[WSS\] «After the year 49 is the Year 50 of the Jubilee; and 7 years are traveled: 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56»*.\[JBP\] And there, everything that that entails, is already marking the time of a new dispensation and in a new age, which corresponds to the Cornerstone.In other words, already in this other drawing, here he already shows us where that stage of Jubilee is —which corresponds to this time—; which he reached that stage; and the stage of those 7 years corresponds to the Cornerstone, but you have to see from where he places it there. Because it is the last stage where he was told, or brother Branham says: \[WMB\] “After You heal me, now You are going to take me.”^{[²³](#sdfootnote23sym)} In other words, that last stage, of those 7 years…Now, in the part of Abraham, he also makes the Pyramid.And from *\[WSS\]* \_«99»\_... that is, every 7 years, He places *\[WSS\] *\_«53»\_ (it would be 57 there, but he writes 53); and every 7 years it continues: *\[WSS\] *\_«64, 71, 78, 85, 92» \_years, then:\_ \[WSS\] «99»\_, and there was the heir, that is, the son came to him; then\_ \[WSS\] «100»\_, which is the Cornerstone.And he writes: *\[WSS\] **«The Son of Abraham. The heir to the land of Israel»*. As Son of Abraham.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «100»* in the Cornerstone.And here in the Pyramid next to it he starts from: *\[WSS\] «7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49»*; and already in *«50»* enters the Cornerstone stage. And places an arrow in the little Cornerstone: from 50 to 56 *«50-56»*, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «This is the heir»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, look at what it says in the book of *The Seals*… Let us finish here \[**“THE STONE WITH A NEW NAME”**\]:\[WSS\] This is a very important year in the Divine Program, both for the believers in Christ as well as for the Jews; because both peoples are waiting for the Coming of the Messiah, the Coming of the Son of David, the Coming of the King of Israel, who will bring peace to Israel and to His believers, and He will take us with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the book of ***The Seals***, on page 359 \[p. 423 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\] it says:^*\[264\]* That Esau didn’t need his money; neither does Rome. She’s got the wealth of the world in her hand. See? But it didn’t work.^*265* But we find out now, that Israel, in that time of trouble, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the…that got a hold of Something that was real. There was a Man come down. Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the—and the—the Fellow said, “I must be going now. It’s coming daylight.” Oh, that breaking-of-the-day! See? It was fixing to come day.^*266* But Jacob said, “I—I’m not going to leave You. You, You can’t go. I’m going to stay right with You.” See? “I want things changed here.”^*267* That’s that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money-scheming bunch, and things like that, when they see the true, genuine thing to get a hold of. There stands Moses, and there stands Elijah. Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.^*268* That’s just before the Tribulation period, see, (oh how wonderful) also, “Jacob’s trouble.”^*269* Here is when the hundred and forty-four thousand is called out. They, the—the preachers, them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist. “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel!” Repent what? “Repent from your sins, your unbelief, and turn back to God!”\[JBP\] Now already see how Israel at that time there is where they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.” And when they see Him, what they will be seeing is a man with the ministries of Moses and Elijah operating them, God operating those ministries.**THE PROPHETIC WORD IS THE LIGHT OF THE LAST DAY (Ministers Meeting)** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, March 3, 2017 Mexico City, Mexico*Now, currently, well, we do not talk very clearly about all the things either, we do not talk in detail so that other people who might listen are not going to take that and try to personify and say: “Well, we already know what to bring them, so we are going to go ourselves.”\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And look, in the message **“CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD,”**^{**[²⁴](#sdfootnote24sym)**} it says on page 8:^*27* *Today, so confused about the evidence of the Holy Ghost, and so forth. Satan can impersonate any kind of a gift that God has got, but he cannot bring that Word, Word by Word.*\[JBP\] In other words, the enemy of God, the devil, can personify any gift, but he cannot bring the Word. And so it is also at this time: he can personify anything, but he cannot bring the revealed Word. He cannot bring the Word that is being given and being brought to God’s elect, which is the content of the Rapturing Faith. That he will not be able to make known, because he doesn’t know anything about it.^*\[27\]* *That’s where he failed in the garden of Eden. That’s where he’s always failed. That’s where them, the tape on “false, anointed ones,” or anointed ones; they can be anointed with the Spirit, speak in tongues, dance, shout, preach the Gospel, and still a devil.**It’s the inside!*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, that is what he told us about in the book of ***The Seals***, on page 467 \[p. 556 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\], it says:^*\[257\]* If Satan could get a hold of It…^*258* If you want something to happen… Now you’ll have to take my word for this. If I’m planning on doing something, I know better than to tell anybody about it. Not that that person would tell it, but Satan will hear it. See? He can’t get it, in my heart there, as long as God has got it closed up with the Holy Spirit, so that’s between me and God. See? He don’t know nothing about it until you speak it, then he hears it. And I have tried… I tell people I’ll do a certain-certain thing, and watch the devil cut off every wheel he can, to get there, see, to beat me to it. But if I get the revelation from God, and just don’t say nothing about it, then it’s different.^*259* Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He’ll try to impersonate everything that the Church will do. He’s tried to do it (\[JBP\] that is): *\[WSS\] «the 7 ages»* (\[JBP\] he writes). We notice it, through the antichrist.^*260* But this is one thing he cannot impersonate. There’ll be no mimics to this, see, ’cause he don’t know It. There’s no way for him to know It. It’s the Third Pull. He just knows nothing about It. See? He doesn’t understand It (\[JBP\] Who is the one that doesn’t understand it? The enemy of God, and also his subjects).^*261* But there’s a secret lays beneath That! \[Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit once—Ed.\] Glory to God in the Highest! I can never think the same, the rest of my life, when I seen. Now, I don’t know what… I know the next step there, but I don’t know what, how to interpret that. It won’t be long. I’ve got wrote down here, when it happened, if you can see here, “Stop. Go no further than this right here.”\[JBP\] And there everything he wrote, which you already have in the Studies.^{[²⁵](#sdfootnote25sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now also look here in the book of ***Quotations***,^{[²⁶](#sdfootnote26sym)} on page 115; paragraph 1009 says: *1009 - “*^*\[153\]* *‘He that is in you is greater than he that’s in the world.’ We can’t understand That, yet we say we believe It. And we know It’s true, but we really don’t understand It. \[…\]*^*\[154\]* *Then, if He is in you, He absolutely would not deny what He said. He couldn’t do it. But He would keep what He has said, and He is trying to find that person that He can vindicate Himself through* (\[JBP\] he draws a Star of David)*.*^*155* *Now, that doesn’t mean He has to do it to everybody. In the time that Moses led the children of Israel, there was one, that was Moses. The rest of them just followed the Message. See? Some of them tried to raise up to impersonate it, and God said, ‘Separate yourself,’ and just swallowed them up. See? See?*^*156* *Now, but, ‘He that’s in you is greater than he that’s in the world,’ God in you, like He was in Jesus Christ. Because, what all God was, He poured into Christ; and all Christ was, He poured into the Church.”*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «Moses: for God to vindicate Himself through him»*.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «What God is, He poured into Jesus Christ»*.*\[WSS\] «What Christ is, He poured into His Church»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say here \[**“THE PROPHETIC WORD IS THE LIGHT OF THE LAST DAY”**\]:\[WSS\] Rather, the Two Olive Trees will keep certain things secret so that no one can imitate; and whoever tries to imitate: doesn’t succeed.They are waiting for Elijah and they are waiting for the Messiah; and they believe, many of them believe that Elijah is already on Earth and also the Messiah.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Also in 117, paragraph 1042, it says \[***Quotations***\]:^{[²⁷](#sdfootnote27sym)} \_1042 - “\_^*\[133\]**…He’s waiting for some prophet to rise on the scene to manifest that, He promised it according to Malachi 4* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «a prophet: to manifest the promise»*\_. It’ll be done. No matter how foolish the people think, it’ll be done anyhow! God said so! He’s able of these stones! Our creeds won’t receive it, if our churches won’t receive it, God can go back to the stable, He can go anywhere He wants to. But there’ll be somebody stand up for this Word spoke for this day. Something has to manifest It. It won’t be a group, either, never was.”\_ \[JBP\] In other words, it is always one.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE PROPHETIC WORD IS THE LIGHT OF THE LAST DAY”**\]:\[WSS\] Now, they are in expectation, waiting to see what is promised being fulfilled under the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of the Messiah.Now, everything has its time. When the exact time comes for them to say: “This is what we have been waiting for,” they will say it, for it is promised that they will recognize Him.Now, what will Elijah and Moses and the Messiah be doing at the Last Day? God fulfilling through Elijah, Moses and the Messiah what is promised, fulfilling the prophetic Word; and then as it is being fulfilled, that will be the Light for the Hebrew people, that will be the Light shining and fulfilling the promise: “But unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His Wings.”\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message: **THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Wednesday, April 22, 2009 Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico*And for the Last Day we would be living as in the days of John and Jesus.The part of John was already fulfilled with the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham…\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In ***The Ages*** it says (*Ages* edited), in the 364; (in this one it is 368). It says \[P. 325 in Eng.\]:In the ministry of John the *“hearts of the fathers were turned to the children.”* We know that because Jesus said so. But it does not say that the hearts of the children were turned to the fathers. That is yet to take place. The hearts of the last-day children will be turned back to the Pentecostal fathers. John got the fathers ready for Jesus **to welcome** the children into the fold (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «they will welcome Jesus»*.\[JBP\] And in this one he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Rapturing Faith, the 7 Thunders»*. And he draws a Pyramid and the ages; and he numbers the last two there: *\[WSS\] «6, 7»*. And on \[WMB\] “to welcome” from there he makes the arrow towards the Cornerstone.John got the fathers ready for Jesus to welcome the children into the fold. Now this prophet upon whom the Spirit of Elijah falls will prepare the children **to welcome back Jesus**.\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «in Moses»*; and then, right there, he writes: *\[WSS\] «and Elijah»* (because he writes it with two pens: one red and one blue). \[WMB\] “To welcome back Jesus,” and he writes: *\[WSS\] «in Moses and Elijah»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] He goes on to say \[**“THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION”**\]:\[WSS\] …Reverend William Branham; and then it corresponds to the part that will be fulfilled as it was fulfilled in the time of Jesus.The forerunner has to appear in the midst of Christianity, in the midst of the Church of the Lord, as the forerunner and the one forerun appeared in the midst of the Dispensation of the Law and in the midst of Judaism and in the midst of the Jews.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] In the message “RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE,” and also “TAKING SIDES WITH JESUS.” Let’s go to the message **“TAKING SIDES WITH JESUS,”**^{**[²⁸](#sdfootnote28sym)**} on page 8, let’s read something here. It says:^*58* *Now, what I think, down there, if that Angel that said those Words to me, said, “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first Coming of Christ,” see, “your Message…” I was to take this Message, and “It would forerun the second Coming of Christ.” Well, if This has been It, then we’re real, real close, brethren, because the hour and the Light of the Message is just about gone out.*^*59* *Did you notice when Pentecost fell, and those brothers were filled at Pentecost, with the Holy Ghost? It wasn’t hardly any time until the Message had begin to dim down, and they begin to set up churches to hold the fort, for Christ, expecting Him to come. Well, that’s the same thing is taking place today, if the Scripture is true, “I will restore, saith the Lord, all that the palmerworm and cankerworm has eaten.” Now, if that be it, if that is the Message, and, God forgive me, I—I do not know. If that’s it, then the time is close at hand, really, because the Message is over.*^*60* *And the other night, I was dreaming that I went to have discernment where a great host of my friends had gathered, thousands of them in a meeting. There was a fellow come, got me. And Billy usually comes, gets me, ’cause you don’t talk to me. And this man just talked a blue streak. And ’fore I got over there, all the anointing was gone from me, for it.*\[JBP\] That is, before going to preach, Billy Paul doesn’t talk to him when he goes to get him; in other places he says that he doesn’t speak… or he doesn’t talk to him when he is going to preach. But there he ran into this brother and talked for a while.^*\[60\]* *And ’fore I got over there, all the anointing was gone from me, for it. And then I said, “Well, I’ll just go over there and—and preach the Message, of telling those people, ‘Don’t fool with those denominations,’ and so forth, and, ‘Come out, like this.’” And when I got to the platform, that had left me.*^*61* *I don’t know what it meant, but I, just going on. I just don’t know. It could be the end of my road. It could be the Coming of the Lord. It could be the change of the day. It could be the coming of that mighty one, if there’s to be another besides what’s already come. It could be that. All those things, we’d have to draw from, it would be. And as I stand here tonight, before God and you brethren: I don’t know. I couldn’t tell you. If I did, I’d tell you, or I wouldn’t mention, bring anything up like this. If I didn’t know which way… If I know which way the thing was going, I’d—I’d say it, but I don’t know. I can’t tell. I’m going right now on meetings without one speck of leading. I’m going because I don’t want to sit up there. I—I—I like to get out in the woods as well as anybody. If I’m wrong in this, God forgive me.*^*62* *There’s three things could happen to me. It’s either the end of my road, and let this other one come on; I’ve opened up the road for him to take over* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «The Anointed One»*\_, ’cause, remember, the one that comes to preach, will be on the Word, “Restoring the Faith of the children back to the fathers.” It could be the end of my road. It could be that He’s changing my ministry back into evangelism, for overseas. Or, it could be that He’s not going to call me anymore for an evangelist, and He’s taking me into the wilderness somewhere, to anoint me, to send me forth like the promised one is to come, I think.\_ \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The promised one»*. And there on the other side he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Anointed One»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the one of **“RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE,”**^{**[²⁹](#sdfootnote29sym)**} on page 16 and 17 says:^*80* *That’s the way the churches has did. “Oh, we believe the Word. It’s all right, but, you know, they say we should do this.” I don’t care what they say. The Word is right!**Waiting. He’s chopped them out, through the prophets.*\[JBP\] He draws a Star of David.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «God cuts off, separates His people through a prophet». «God claims them through a prophet»*.\[JBP\] He claims it through a prophet. In other words, that is the Claiming Work. As the First Coming was the Work of Redemption. In His Second Coming it is the Claiming Work. Through whom does he say? *\[WSS\] «God claims them through a prophet»*.^*81* *What time is it, brother? What time is it, minister? Do you see the time of the day, and the sign you’re living under? Can you understand it? Do you see it?*^*82* *Everywhere now, there’s no revival. Everybody is complaining, ministers crying. I was reading one of the—the outstanding papers that comes here to the church, a very fine paper. And I know the editor, and I know the people. And they are godly people, very fine, Brother and Sister Moore, of the* Herald of His Coming*. One of the finest papers on the field,* Herald of His Coming\_. But they hardly will print anything unless it’s about, “Fast, pray! Fast, pray! Sound a trumpet! Get…” How many reads it? You know. You see it all the time, “Fast, pray! Fast, pray!” It’s all you hear. “Fast, pray! We’re going to have a great breaking of the day! There is a great thing going to happen! All of you, pray, pray, pray! We’re not too late yet!\_ (\[JBP\] What they place in the newspaper)*”*^*83* *Why do they do that? Why do they do that? They want a great awakening. They’re crying, believing that there will be awakening. They’re good people. Why is it? What have they done? They have not recognized the awakening of the Bride. See? By being a Christian, they feel the pull of the hour, but they haven’t recognized what’s been done.*\[JBP\] The same thing has happened at this time: they have not recognized the awakening of the Bride, some; and they have neither recognized what has happened after our brother William left.^*\[83\]* *That’s what’s making them feel that way. They know something is supposed to happen, but, see, they’re looking for it way off in the future, to come, when it’s already happened right by you.*\[JBP\] It is being fulfilled right under their noses, what they are killing themselves looking for in different messages. And it has been said that that is not written. And they have it right under their noses, God fulfilling things for them, and because of the veil they cannot see it.But the elect, those who are preparing for that event of their adoption, of their transformation, they have been able to see behind the veil!; and they have seen the Pillar of Fire, they have seen the presence of God in His people; and they have realized that we have been found unclean; and we have realized that it had to be fixed.^*\[83\]* *That’s what’s making them feel that way. They know something is supposed to happen, but, see, they’re looking for it way off in the future, to come, when it’s already happened right by you.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] That is in the book of *The Seals* as well; where it says: \[WMB\] “Of 10 things…”. Page 17 \[p. 19 in Eng. (God hiding Himself…)\] of the book of ***The Seals***:^*\[113\]* Many miss Him by the way He reveals Himself.^*114* Now, men has their own ideas of what God ought to be and what God is going to do. And as I have made the old statement many times, that, man still remains man. Man is always giving God praise for what He did do, and always looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He is doing (\[JBP\] they are ignorant). See? See? That’s the way they miss it. They look back and see what a great thing He done, but they fail to see what a simple thing He used, to do it with. See? And then they look forward and see a great thing coming, that’s going to happen, and, nine times out of ten, it’s already happening right around them. And it’s so simple that they don’t know it.\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «9 out of 10 cases»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look, it goes on to say… Oh, and he writes there: *\[WSS\] «forerunner…»*. Let’s read a little bit to be able to read that \[**“RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE”**\] \[P. 16\]:^*84* *That’s the same thing they did in the old days. They was believing in a coming Messiah. They believed that there would be a forerunner come. But it was right on them, and they didn’t know it. They didn’t recognize it. They believed there would come a forerunner that would forerun the Messiah, and they cut his head off. And killed their Messiah* (\[JBP\] he writes): *\[WSS\] «to John the Baptist»* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «forerunner — John the B. *\[Baptist\]* / the one forerun: Jesus»**, because it was prophesied that they would be blinded. Hosea said so.*^*85* *And the same Spirit, that spoke through Hosea, spoke through John and said the church in this last days would be “naked, and blind, and would put Him outside of the church.” They failed to see those prophecies fulfill. But, being in there, they realize that something has got to happen. They just don’t get it. They don’t realize it. Much like the Jews of old times; blinded Laodicea; riches, theology, hostile with the Church, hostile towards the Message.*\[JBP\] And it has happened like that with the seventh stage of this end time.^*\[85\]* *Look how hostile those Jews was with John. Look how hostile they was with Jesus, when He was the very One that they claimed that they were looking for. (...)*^*86* *They were hostile towards the Message. (...)*^*\[87\]* *But, now, like the Jews of old, blinded! They are at Laodicea. They’re “naked, miserable, wretched, and don’t know it.” Day of riches, great theological teachings, great education, and now they have become hostile towards the Message. They want nothing to do with It, just like it was back at the days when Jesus of Nazareth was on earth.*^*88*\_ The reason people, in Noah’s day, did not go into the ark, because they never recognized the message nor the messenger\_ (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «they didn’t recognize the Message nor the messenger»*\_. That’s the only reason they perished, is because they didn’t recognize the hour that they were living. They didn’t recognize that God would deal with sin as He promised He would. “He would destroy man, from the face of the earth.” He had prophesied it. He meant it. And He means it today the same as He did then.\_ \[JBP\] He writes: *\[WSS\] «the destruction»*.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «yesterday and today»*.^*89* *But the people, instead of being favorable towards Noah, he was considered a wild man. They didn’t believe him to be a prophet. You know, Jesus, His Own Self, told us how they scoffed in the days of Noah, made fun of him, called him a fanatic and what-more. But they didn’t recognize their hour. They didn’t recognize the day. They didn’t recognize the sign* *\[WSS\] «the prophet»**. They didn’t recognize the message. They didn’t recognize the messenger, but put him from their midst and laughed at him. Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah!* \[so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:26-27)\]*.”*^*90* *With Israel in her land, and everything setting now, and the Message is just perfectly moving in, what day are we living, brother? Where are we at?*^*91* *They didn’t know the day. They didn’t know. That’s the reason they missed it, is because they didn’t recognize it. They were like the day, a lot somewhat like the people today, blinded by scientific proofs, by educational systems, by theological seminaries. And things that blinded them in that day, it’s done the same thing today. It’s blinded them, again.*^*92*\_And, also, the simplicity, simplicity of the message and the messenger! Noah wasn’t scientific\_ (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David)*. He wasn’t an educated man. He was a poor farmer, humble, with a simple message. It was too simple for their high learning.*\_So is it today! God always makes it simple, to get the people who will believe and trust Him\_ (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David)*. It’s a different, just a different Message, but the same God. Now I want you to believe It and understand that God has spoke It.*^*93**Jesus said they scoffed at His prophet, Noah* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «in the Coming of Christ they scoff»**. And as they scoffed in that day, so will they do it again at His Coming* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «with Moses and Elijah».*\[JBP\] In other words, there will also be people who will be mocking the one who has the ministries of Moses and Elijah. It is already prophesied that they will do the same.And he draws a Star of David.Says: ^*\[93\]**They would do the same thing.**That’s the reason that Pharaoh drowned in the sea. He never recognized his day. He never recognized what was going on. He was too took up in the achievements of his scientific age, to build cities with slave labor. He was too—he was too busy, to recognize the opportunity that he had* (\[JBP\] and he draws a Star of David)*, and he turned God’s prophet-messenger out into the wilderness. He didn’t recognize it. That’s the reason that things went the way they did. He never recognized it. If he would have only recognized the promised Word of God, to that people!*^*94* *And if the churches today would only recognize, if the churches would only recognize the Word of God that’s made this promise for this hour, to the people, they wouldn’t perish.*\[JBP\] And that is fulfilled at this time, because He said: “As it was in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot so shall also the Coming of the Son of Man be with His Angels.”^{[³⁰](#sdfootnote30sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] It goes on to say here in **“THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION”** our brother William:\[WSS\] In the midst of the gentiles has to appear the forerunner (and he has already appeared) of the Second Coming of Christ; and the Coming of the Lord, of the Angel of the Covenant in the midst of the Church. And therefore, that will be marking the end time, the end of time, the Dispensation of the Kingdom being introduced, the introduction to the Millennium and marking the end of the kingdom of the gentiles.All that is prophesied and has to be fulfilled in this end time.Therefore, the mysterious Book at the right hand of the One is sitting on the Throne, that is, of God, being taken by the Lamb, opened in Heaven, and brought to Earth and delivered to a man, will be the greatest sign for all mankind.But when that happens there will be no more Blood on the Throne of God, and consequently, redemption will have ceased…\[JBP\] That is why he stopped the baptisms and stopped everything that had to do with the Dispensation of Grace; because by bringing that Title Deed, the Throne of Heaven becomes a Throne of Judgment.\[WSS\] …there will be no more Blood for those who want to come to the Feet of Christ: The Church of the Lord will have been completed…\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, in the book of ***The Ages***, on page… (367 of this one), of the other one it is **363** \[p. 324 in Eng.\]. It says:What was in those thunders no one knows. But we need to know. And it will take a prophet to get the revelation because God has no other way of bringing out His Scriptural revelations except by a prophet. The Word always came by a prophet and always will. That this is the law of God is evident by even a casual search of Scripture. The unchanging God with unchanging ways invariably sent His prophet in every age where the people had strayed from Divine order (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the Bride out of step»*. With both the theologians and the people having departed from the Word, God always sent His servant to these people (but apart from the theologians) in order to correct false teaching and lead the people back to God.So we see a seventh-age messenger coming, and he is a prophet.\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «immutable God»*.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Thunders»*.And also here he writes (at the bottom):*\[WSS\] «A prophet will reveal the Thunders»*.*«The Bride out of step, God has to send Her a prophet: Moses and Elijah»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the message **“THE MASTERPIECE,”**^{**[³¹](#sdfootnote31sym)**} there is something there that he tells us. On page 42 and 43, look at what it tells us here… Since he spoke there about the Bride out of step. This is one of the messages that speaks of that. It says:^*\[194\]* *Did you notice? The Bride come in view twice; the first Seed and the second Seed, both of them exactly the same One. And the reason they were dr’iff… dressed in different parts, She’ll come from all nations, it’ll make up the Bride.*\[JBP\] That is where he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Bride twice: Before the ages and after the ages»*.And he writes: *\[WSS\] «each one represents a nation»*.^*\[194\]* *…dressed in different parts, She’ll come from all nations, it’ll make up the Bride. Each one had long hair, and no makeup, and real pretty girls. And they were watching me. That represented the Bride coming out of all nations. See? She, each one represented a nation, as they marched perfectly in line with the Word. See?*^*195* *And, then, I have to watch Her. She’ll get out of step with that Word if I don’t watch, when She is passing by, if She gets by. Maybe it’ll be my time, when I’m over, see, when I’m finished, or whatever it is* (\[JBP\] that is, when he leaves this Earth)*.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The vision of the Bride, perhaps when he is on the other side»*.^*196* *What? They was getting back. Trying their best, and was getting back, just get in line; ’cause, they—they was looking out somewhere else, watching about that church that just went out into chaos* *\[WSS\] «Laodicea».*\[JBP\] Look, they look towards there, to a past stage, age.^*\[196\]* *But two… The front ones, never. The back ones, just two or three of them, was kind of stepped out a little bit to the right-hand side…*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «the right»* and *«right side»*, and he draws a Cornerstone.And he writes:*\[WSS\] «We must walk in the center of the promised Word (for the moment), vindicated, fulfilled for the Age of the Grain, the Age of the Cornerstone»*.\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone here on the end (on the other side), and the ages.^*\[196\]* *…to the right-hand side, and looked like was trying to get back in line as they went by. They was just past me, oh, far as here to the wall, past me. And I was standing there. And then I just seen it all move out and leave.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Returning to get in order with the Word in 8th step»*.^*\[196\]* *But, you notice, the church only came into view once, each nation, the church. But the Bride come in twice* (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the Bride comes twice»*\_. See, see what it was? Now, not knowing it, but look at it with my Message this morning. Not knowing that. See?\_ ^*197* *The Seed fell in the ground at Nicaea. That was the original Seed. And She’s come through the process of these denominations, which only comes in existence once. But the Bride returns back again in the last days. “I will restore.” See, the Masterpiece is brought up. That’s the reason She was in view, reviewed, the second time. She was reviewed the first time, then she was reviewed the second time. And She was perfectly, the second time, like She was the first time. O God, have mercy! Hurry, hurry, hurry, Life, get in the Grain, right quick!*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «the Bride appeared twice»* he also writes there.^*198* *All others never appeared no more. They went out, never to come back again.**But the Bride came back, ’cause She was Alpha and Omega. God, the great Sculptor, has made Him a Masterpiece, for It is a piece of His first Masterpiece. Like He made in the garden of Eden, and took a piece from, and made another piece and that was marred and fell, now He’s been all this time building it up again. And He brought forth this Masterpiece, and was smitten, in order… That part that was smitten, was in order to bring back again that Masterpiece, again.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The construction of the Bride»*.^*199* *So, the Masterpiece and the Son of God, the Masterpiece and the Bride, and It’s a piece of Him, which must be the fulfilling of the Word. The Word has been fulfilled, and we’re ready for the Coming of the Lord.*\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Coming of the Lord»*.^*200* *O Church of the living God, bow your hearts and your—yourselves before God. These things are true. I know that it sounds like that, as such a great a thing as that would be, would be so spread out over the nations. It never was. He doesn’t change His way. Just be thankful, Church, be thankful that you are where you are today if you’re in Christ. Because, you see, now, and when that…*^*201* *Remember, all that Life will be gathered right into the Grain, for the resurrection, but the stalk must be burned. The rest of it…*\[JBP\] And he draws towards the Cornerstone and ages, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «The Life gathered in the Grain for resurrection»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, what ripens it? Here in this message **“MODERN EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY,”**^{**[³²](#sdfootnote32sym)**} on page 8, it says:^*44* *The shuck held it, but now the shuck pulls away; it has to. And remember, twenty years has passed by and no more denominations has come out of it, and it won’t. We’re at the end of denominations, the wheat’s taken shape. But what’s the matter with the wheat now, you can’t… it must lay in the Presence of the Son, to ripen, before **the combine***\_ picks it up.\_ \[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «The wheat ripens in the presence of the Sun»*.Remember that it was there, in the presence of the Sun, in that which we read there of that message.^{[³³](#sdfootnote33sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now, he goes on to say. Page 43, and I am going to page 44 of **“MASTERPIECE”** \[P. 36\]:^*\[201\]* *…the husk and all, must be destroyed, and it will be. Don’t trust in your, them denominations. You stay in the Word, the Life, God and His Masterpiece.*\[JBP\] And he draws towards the Cornerstone… that is, he draws a Cornerstone and an arrow; and the ages.^*202* *Then what is it in the Millennium? Christ and His Bride, back in the garden of the Millennium.*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And look, on page 45. It says \[**“MASTERPIECE”**\] \[P. 36\]:^*207* *If you don’t know Him, please hurry, hurry. If you feel Life, get out of the… get out of your sin, get out of the thing that you’re in. **Get to the Grain**, right quick. You’ll die in the stalk…*\[JBP\] In other words, you will die in the seventh stage if you don’t get out of there.^*\[207\]* *You’ll die in the stalk, or in the husk.*\[JBP\] And he draws the ages; and draws an arrow towards the seventh age. And on \[WMB\] “get to the Grain” he draws another arrow towards the Cornerstone, and he writes: *\[WSS\] «the Grain»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And a little further down it says there, already in the prayer, says \[**“MASTERPIECE”**\] \[P. 37\]:^*209*\_ Don’t let anybody wait too long, Lord. Looks awful close. The harvest is truly ripe. The great combine of God will sweep through the land one of these days, straws will fly every way; but the Wheat shall be gathered to the garner\_ (\[JBP\] and he draws a Cornerstone, and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the harvest»**, taken up, for in It is Life.*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «Rev. 11: and 19: Moses and Elijah»*.*«The Coming of God with Moses and Elijah will sweep the Earth»*.\[JBP\] That is the great machine we read about here: \[WMB\] “the combine.”Notice, he says: \[WMB\] “...will sweep through the land one of these days, straws will fly every way.” That is where it comes, as we say, the scatter around; where he spoke there in “THE END-TIME EVANGELISM,” that when the light is turned on, crickets, grasshoppers and everything…, and there comes the scattering around.^{[³⁴](#sdfootnote34sym)}Now, all of that, that brother Branham has spoken to us there is for all those who are staying in that stage of the seventh age.Remember that seven stages are traveled and an eighth… There is a place where he wrote and drew that, because it is in the presence of God that the wheat ripens. Let’s see if it is in this one, because back here he writes… this is from the message “THE MASTERPIECE,” the one we were reading:*\[WSS\] «The Grain of the Wheat, the Bride: Life»*.*«The husk, Pentecost: spiritual death»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues to say here, in this message **“THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION”**:\[WSS\] …and then what will come will be the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living in Christ; which will receive the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.Just as they have received the faith, the revelation, to obtain salvation and eternal life, to receive eternal life through Christ…; they have received that revelation in the Gospel of Grace, the Gospel of Christ as the Lamb of God.The revelation, the faith to be transformed and go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, we will receive it under the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords.It is in the Gospel of the Kingdom that Christ is presented as Lion of the tribe of Judah and as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work; and therefore, it is under the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom that will be revealed, presenting, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord as Lion of the tribe of Judah; which will give the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ, raptured, to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in the book of ***The Seals*** it tells us, on page 482 and 483 \[p. 574 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\], at the bottom it says:^*\[398\]* But, you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal.^*399* And here, when the Seventh Seal, when He opened It, He also omitted It again, see. So we see that It is a complete mystery, therefore the hour is not yet for the mystery to be known. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time.\[JBP\] And we are going to leave it there, we make a pause, and we will already be preparing ourselves to see this topic that we have for today: **“THE MYSTERY OF THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS INDICATING THE TIME.”**We stand up, and so we prepare ourselves to listen and watch this conference, which we ask the Lord to speak directly to our souls, and thus we continue to grow in the knowledge of His Program for this end time.And we thank God that He has been fulfilling His Word, His promise.And I feel very, very happy, I am very, very happy; because I see and I am seeing the fulfillment of what was promised. And there is no greater satisfaction than seeing the fulfillment of the Word.Well, let us thus leave in this topic that we have for today, **“THE MYSTERY OF THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS INDICATING THE TIME,”** our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.\* \* \*
