Jose B. Perez*\] Greetings to the missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin there in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, the congregation that Reverend Luis Gomez pastors, and to the entire congregation there; and also all those who are seeing us through the satellite Amazonas or internet on this occasion, today, Friday, March 3 of this year 2023.We open our Bibles in the Gospel according to **Matthew**, **chapter 24**, **verse 30 to 31**:^*30* \_And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.\_ ^*31* \_And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.\_ \[JBP\] This is the Scripture that our brother William Soto Santiago used in this topic that we will be watching and listening to on this occasion: **THE MYSTERY OF THE ANGELS OF THE HARVEST** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Wednesday, November 19, 1997 Sumaré, São Paulo, Brasil* **THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD (Ministers Meeting)** *Dr. William Soto Santiago Wednesday, August 20, 2003 Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico*Through that ministry that will be operating in that Angel: He will be calling and gathering with a Great Voice of Trumpet all the elect of God; that is the Angel that has the Great Voice of Trumpet.That is the Angel that will be the messenger to the Church of Jesus Christ at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone, and then he will be the messenger to the Hebrew people as well; because he is a dispensational prophet messenger promised in the prophecies and parables that were spoken, and that will be fulfilled in this end time.Part of those parables have already been fulfilled: such as the sowing, birth and growth of the wheat; but the harvest corresponds to this end time. And for the harvest to be carried out, the wheat harvest, it corresponds to the ministry of the Angels of the Son of Man, ministries that will be in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Let’s go to the book of ***The Ages*** (edited). He says on **page 182** \[p. 168 in Eng.\], where brother Branham reads from Hebrews, chapter 6, from 4 to 9; and he quotes the Scripture there, he says: *“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: but that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.”*(\[JBP\] Let me also have this other book open here, this book of *The Ages* as well).There, brother Branham says:I closed the Bible, laid it down, and meditated awhile and prayed some more. I still had no answer. I again opened the Bible aimlessly (\[JBP\] in other words, he opened it like this, to see where it would land) but did not read. Suddenly the wind blew into the room again, and once more the pages turned to Hebrews 6 and remained there as the wind ceased. I read those words over again, and when I did, then came the Spirit of God into the room and I beheld a vision. I saw in the vision **a man dressed in the purest white** who went forth into a freshly plowed field and sowed grain. It was a bright day, and the sowing was done in the morning. But late at night (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «ages»*…\[JBP\] And at the top, where it says: \[WMB\] “a man dressed in the purest white,” he writes: *\[WSS\] «Christ and the apostles»*. But late at night (\[JBP\] he writes there): *\[WSS\] «ages»* (\[JBP\] in other words, the seven ages. He refers to the seven ages, but he writes: *\[WSS\] «ages»*) after the sower in white had gone, a man in black came and stealthily sowed some more seed amongst that which the man in white had sown. The days went by — the sun and rain blessed the ground; and one day there appeared the grain. How fine it was. But a day later appeared the tares.The wheat and tares grew together. They partook of the same nourishment out of the same soil. They drank in the same sun and rain.Then one day the skies turned to brass, and the plants all began to droop and to die. I heard the wheat lift their heads and cry to God for rain. The tares also lifted up their voices and pleaded for rain. Then the skies darkened and the rain came, and again the wheat, now full of strength lifted up their voices and cried in adoration, “Praise the Lord.” And to my wonderment I heard the revived tares also look up and say, “Hallelujah!”Then I knew the truth of the camp meeting and the vision.\[JBP\] Now, see how he tells that vision that is being shown to him by the Holy Spirit with the Tent, where that separation would also be carried out; and where He is showing him that there, at that time, the wheat and the tares would also be there; they were praising and glorifying God for the Rain that they were both receiving; both of them: both the wheat and the tares.The parable of the Sower and the Seed, the 6th chapter of Hebrews, and the evident manifestation of Spiritual gifts in a mixed audience (\[JBP\] in a mixed congregation) — all became wonderfully clear.\[JBP\] Notice where everything will be cleared: in the fulfillment of that time, which is represented here in that vision.The sower in white was the Lord. The sower in black was the devil. The world was the field. The seeds were people, elect and reprobates. Both partook of the same nourishment, water and sun. Both prayed. Both received help from God, for He maketh His sun and rain to fall on both good and evil. And though they both had the same wonderful blessing and both had the same wonderful manifestations, THERE WAS STILL THAT ONE GREAT DIFFERENCE, THEY WERE OF DIFFERENT SEED.Here also was the answer to Matthew 7:21-23…\[JBP\] (I am reading *here*, but paying attention *here,* because there are some writings that I am going to be reading *here,* in this other one.) This is the Scripture of Matthew 7:21-23: *“Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth **the will** of My Father Which is in heaven.”*\[JBP\] And there, here, he makes a line from “will,” and he writes: *\[WSS\] «Word»*. *“Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.”* Jesus does not deny that they did the mighty works that only the Holy Ghost can accomplish by way of men. But He did deny ever knowing them. These weren’t backsliders. These were wicked, unregenerate, reprobates. These were the seed of Satan.And there it is. You CAN’T claim that manifestation is the evidence of being Spirit-born, Spirit-filled. No sir. I will admit that true manifestation is the evidence of the Holy Spirit doing mighty acts, but it is NOT the evidence of the individual being Spirit-filled, even though that individual has an abundance of those manifestations.The **evidence** of receiving the Holy Ghost today is just the same as it was back in the day of our Lord. **It is receiving the Word of truth for the day in which you live**.\[JBP\] And there he draws a Pyramid and the ages; and an arrow towards the Cornerstone and towards the seventh age, or to the bottom of the ages. And he writes in *this* one: *\[WSS\] «The Evidence»*.And he writes *here:* *\[WSS\] «the evidence of having the Spirit»*.What is it? \[WMB\] “It is receiving the Word of truth for the day in which you live.”Jesus never did stress the importance of the Works as He did the Word. He knew that if the people got the WORD the works would follow. That is Bible.\[JBP\] First will come that Teaching, and then it is that you will see the miracles and wonders being manifested in the full fulfillment of the Tent Vision.Now Jesus knew that there was going to be a terrible drift away from the Word in the Pergamean Age which was as yet two hundred years off from the Patmos vision. He knew that drift would cause them to go into the Dark Ages. He knew that the way man originally got away from God was by first leaving the Word. If you leave that Word, you have left God. Thus He is presenting Himself to the church at Pergamos, and indeed to all churches of all ages, “I am the Word. If you want Deity in your midst (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Deity»*, then welcome and receive the Word. Don’t ever let anyone or anything get between you and that Word. This which I am giving you (the Word) is a revelation of Myself. I AM THE WORD. Remember that!”\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues saying here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] Just by knowing that that mystery will be being fulfilled by the Holy Spirit in the Angel of Jesus Christ: is to have a very great revelation of the things that will be happening in this end time. And therefore, you will know that that will be the Angel Messenger. And the Message that he will bring: is what Christ will support in this end time; because the other angel messengers have already reached their end.John the Baptist said (speaking of Christ), “It is expedient for Him to increase, and for me to decrease.”^{[¹](#sdfootnote1sym)} And the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ said, “There shall not be two here at the same time; and even if so be, I shall decrease, and He shall increase.”^{[²](#sdfootnote2sym)}\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] We also find that in the book of ***The Seals***. On page 474 \[p. 565 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\], at the bottom, says:^*\[326\]* I don’t know who is going to *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah»*… what’s going to take place (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «the veil of flesh»*. I do not know. I just know that those Seven Thunders holds that mystery. The Heavens was quiet (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «silence for ½ hour»*. Everybody understand? \[Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.\] It may be time, it may be the hour now, that this great person (\[JBP\] and there he writes on the side): *\[WSS\] «Moses and Elijah*\_»\_ that we’re expecting to rise on the scene may arise on the scene.^*327* Maybe this ministry, that I have tried to take people back to the Word, has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you, for good. There won’t be two of us here the same time. See? If it is, he’ll increase (\[JBP\] and he writes there): *\[WSS\] «another prophet is coming»*; I’ll decrease. I don’t know.^*328* But I have been privileged, by God, to look and see *\[WSS\] «in the Tent»* what It was *\[WSS\] «Moses»*, see, see unfold to that much.\[JBP\] Now, remember that it is under a dispensational ministry. That is why there he places: *\[WSS\] «Moses»*, because remember that that ministry that is operating in the Dispensation of the Kingdom is a dispensational ministry.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] So in the mysteries of the Kingdom of God there are great blessings for the elect of God; to whom Christ will open the mysteries, the Scriptures, and open the understanding in their soul; He will open their heart to believe; and He will open their spirit, the understanding also; and they will say, “This was what I was waiting for; because this was none other than what God promised in the Bible and also in the messages of Reverend William Branham.”There is no contradiction in what Reverend William Branham said with what the Bible says: It was more light what God gave through Reverend William Branham in relation to the prophecies and prophetic parables relevant to this end time.(...) If those who have heard, received and believed the Message of Reverend William Branham seek and find that man, that veil of flesh: they will have found the Holy Spirit in His final manifestation.You cannot look for Him in Saint Paul; although He was manifested in Saint Paul, but Saint Paul’s time is over. You cannot look for Him in the second angel messenger - second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth or seventh, because they already finished their time. You have to look for Him in a man of this end time, according to what is promised. And when you find him, then you will have found the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ veiled and revealed in human flesh in the Last Day to fulfill His Program.Now, all this is the Seventh Seal; and since all this is the Seventh Seal, Reverend William Branham, on page 472 of the book of *The Seals* said that when the Seventh Seal begins to manifest, that is, begins to be fulfilled, it will be a complete secret. Says (\[JBP\] and there he reads page 472 of the book of *The Seals*^{*[³](#sdfootnote3sym)*}):*“*^*\[304\]**Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal.”*What is the end time Message, Miguel? The Seventh Seal.*“*^*\[304\]**He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible…”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] We are going to go to the page for a little moment, to 472 \[p. 562 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)\] of the book of ***The Seals***… because there he reads up to “according to the Bible.” And let’s finish that sentence. He says:^*\[304\]* …before knowing That. And remember, Revelation 10:1-7, 1 to 7, chapter 10:1 to 7, “At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known.” We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.\[JBP\] And that is where he writes: *\[WSS\] «2nd Coming of Christ»*.In other words, the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of the Lord, which is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William says, goes on to say \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] Since it was something secret (according to the Bible) the birth of Christ, His childhood, His adolescence and His youth.There was only a small group of people who knew that mystery, although they did not fully understand it: the virgin Mary (to whom the Archangel Gabriel appeared), Joseph (Mary’s husband) also, Simeon and Hannah also; and also the shepherds, who went there to the manger where Jesus was born; and then the wise men who went to the house where Jesus was, and it had already been about two years since Jesus had been born.Besides them, perhaps there were some other people, but very few. Like who? Zechariah and his wife Elisabeth; for Elisabeth bore witness to what she had believed. Therefore, Zechariah (the priest Zechariah) and Elisabeth knew about this mystery, and they knew that John the Baptist (their son) was the one who would prepare the way for Him.Now look, very few people knew the beginning of the First Coming of Christ. And very few, for the Last Day, will know the whole mystery of the Coming of the Holy Spirit manifesting Himself in a man at the Last Day, and preparing everything for the great greater manifestation that Christ will have in that veil of flesh.When Christ rises from the Throne of the Father and takes the Title Deed and opens it in Heaven (\[JBP\] When that happens, that veil of flesh that will be on Earth will be ready for that final manifestation, that glorious manifestation or greater manifestation) in Revelation, chapter 10: He already comes with the little Book open in His hand; He cries as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices.And then it says that when the seventh angel is sounding the Trumpet, the mystery of God will be finished, as He announced to His servants His prophets.And then He gives the Title Deed to a man. He hands the Title Deed to a man, which is typified in John the apostle.John the apostle there (who represents the Church with all the angel messengers) is representing the Church at the Last Day with the Angel that the Church will have in the Last Day; to whom Christ will come with the Title Deed, and will deliver it to him.From then on there will be no limitations, there will be no limits as to what God will do through that man. And there it will be fully Christ in that man, fully the Holy Spirit in that man, made flesh.\[JBP\] Now, see, that Title Deed being on Earth, see how it says that there will be no limits as to what God will do through that man.And what is the greatest thing that will be happening in the midst of the Church when that happens? It is to give Her the Rapturing Faith. That is the greatest thing that He can speak and can do in that manifestation, and can receive the people that will be listening; it is the greatest thing that Go, through that veil of flesh, be doing in favor of the elect of God: to give them the Rapturing Faith.For what is greater: to open the eyes of a blind man or to open the spiritual eyes of a person?It is greater to open the spiritual eyes for them to receive the revelation that the Church-Bride needs so much to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the rapture.That is the greatest manifestation that this instrument that God will make through him will have. And he will have no limits. In other words, giving him of Him, giving of Himself, giving him what the Church-Bride needs.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now see, in the book of ***The Seals***, on page 352 \[p. 416 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)\], where he says… Because that \[WSS\] “Holy Spirit (\[JBP\] our brother William tells us there that) will be in that man made flesh.” And on 352 he says:^*\[202\]* Just about the time the Holy Ghost is revealing Himself here in the last days, the antichrist is showing his colors, coming up through his politics and things. And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the stre-… on the scene; God moves Hisself fully on *\[WSS\] «with Moses and Elijah»*, to redeem it all *\[WSS\] «to transform us»*. See, just run, just right together. And they’re, both, side by side. Cain and Abel! \[Brother Branham claps his hands together once—Ed.\] The crow and the dove, on the ark! Judas and Jesus!\[JBP\] And he also writes there: *\[WSS\] «God will come in His fullness in Moses and Elijah to redeem us, to transform us»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And on 146 \[p. 173 in Eng. (First Seal)\] he also tells us \[***The Seals***\]:^*402* And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.\[JBP\] And there he also writes: *\[WSS\] «The Holy Spirit incarnate in a man»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues saying \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] Now, we can see that when the antichrist comes in his fullness (in other words, the devil fully manifested in the antichrist, in the man of sin), then, for that time when a squeeze will come, Christ will manifest Himself in all His fullness in the vessel of flesh, in the veil of flesh, which He will be preparing. Because before a revival comes, before God sends a revival, He has to have a man, a prophet and He has to prepare him first.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Now see, that is what we are reading there, from the book of *The Seals*. And in the book of ***Quotations***^{***[⁴](#sdfootnote4sym)***} look at what it says there on page 26, in paragraph 218 it says: *218 – “*^*32* *And so we, tonight, want to think on that. And remember, that, in the midst of all this cry, God cannot send a revival till He’s got men in shape to take it…*^*33* *And before we can have this revival, God has to call out and train men, God-trained men, to carry this Message.”*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «A man for a revival»*.And that is the last revival of the Church.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And in 286 of page 34 of the book of ***Quotations***,^{[⁵](#sdfootnote5sym)} he says: *286 - “*^*\[36\]* *When he’s getting his chew—schooling, his training… Yet, he might not be able to exercise all authority; he hasn’t got it yet. He’s still a son, but he hasn’t been placed. (...)*^*\[37\]* *God placed on Him that robe of immortality, showing that He had received Him* (\[JBP\] he writes at the top): *\[WSS\] «robe of immortality», \[WSS\] «the adoption»* (\[JBP\] he also writes)*. (...) That’s the thing that God will do to His sons here on earth someday. He will call you aside, Church, if you’ll only obey Him and stay on the Word and believe it. And He will place into the Church, before the coming of Jesus Christ… He will place into the Church… All the powers that Christ had in Him will be in the Church. All that God was, He poured into Jesus; all that Jesus was, He pours into the Church.”*\[JBP\] There he writes: *\[WSS\] «Before the Coming»*. *286 - “*^*\[37\]* *God wanting His work done, He sent it into His Son; the Son wanting the work done, sent it into the Church. ‘At that day you’ll know that I’m in the Father, the Father in Me, and I in you, and you in Me.’ At that day, because the same power of God, was in Jehovah God, rested in Jesus Christ. The same power that rested in Jesus Christ, rests in the placed sons in the body of Christ.*^*38* *Placing of a son… Take him out in a certain place, have a ceremony before Angels, and place him positionally what he is in the body of Christ. Then that person has the authority. Let me say this, if you count me a fanatic from this night on. That very same thing that I’m speaking of will be done. There’ll be a power put into the Church, and now is coming in, that the Holy Spirit will so anoint the people, till they’ll speak the Word and It’ll create Itself right there.”*\[JBP\] And he writes at the top: *\[WSS\] «Speak! And things will be created»*. *286 - “*^*\[38\]**We haven’t seen powers like’s coming into the Church now. I know it for a fact.**‘Say unto this mountain be moved. Don’t doubt in your heart, but believe that what you’ve said shall come to pass, you can have what you have said’: the placing of the Church in position, where the fulness of the power of the Holy Ghost comes into the Church. Then critics’ mouths will be shut. It’ll be a short time. Jesus come right off the mountain, went straight to Calvary. Notice, it won’t last long, but it’ll be here.”*\[JBP\] And he writes there: *\[WSS\] «That of Mount Transfiguration. Already adopted before the Coming of the Lord. It will be a short time, a left-over time»*.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues saying here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] Before that full manifestation comes, seen in the Tent Vision, God has to have a man, a prophet; and He has to prepare him first, to send that great blessing that He has promised. In other words, on the day when that Tent Vision is being fulfilled, and those miracles are taking place, the person He is going to use cannot be born on that day; he must be born first.You see, before God fulfilled the messianic promise, or messianic ministry of three and a half years, and carry out the Sacrifice for sin, the veil of flesh where the Holy Spirit would be manifested had to be born…\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 103 of the book of ***Quotations***,^{[⁶](#sdfootnote6sym)} in paragraph 893, look at what it says there; he says: *893 - “*^*149* *Then there’s a persecution coming upon all those who won’t unite with it, and a boycott* (\[JBP\] that is “those”: to that World Council of Churches, to the image of the beast and to the mark)*. It’ll be too late then. You’ve already took the mark. Don’t say, “I’ll do it then.” You better do it now.”*\[JBP\] Some also saying: “No, I will wait for that time, and then I will believe.” *893 - “*^*\[149\]**Don’t say, ‘I’ll do it then.’ You better do it now. Rameses was growing.*^*150* *But remember, while Rameses was growing into power, in Egypt, God had Moses in the wilderness. He was growing, too.”*(\[JBP\] “Ramses,” how is it written over there?) *893 - “*^*\[150\]**Rameses had a political system. God had a spiritual system, under a prophet, ready to come down, to speak to the people.*^*151**They’re both growing again. It’ll be a showdown, one of these days* *\[WSS\] «Tent Cathedral»**.”*\[JBP\] And he also writes at the top: *\[WSS\] «Moses = the persecution – the boycott»*. *893 - “*^*\[151\]**It’ll be a showdown, one of these days* *\[WSS\] «Tent Cathedral»*\_. (...)\_ ^*\[152\]* *Though he had already prophesied, and it proved that he was right, but yet he was in the school of wilderness, hid away from the rest of the world. But he was schooled, being trained, out in the wilderness.”*\[JBP\] And look at what he writes here. Says:*\[WSS\] «Moses being trained in school in the wilderness.**Herding sheep, he was a shepherd.**The wilderness = The Caribbean»*.\[JBP\] In other words, in the Caribbean, in the Island of the Lamb: in Puerto Rico, to make it clearer.There he had that dispensational ministry, training him.For what? For that glorious manifestation, that demonstration in the last days.Where? In a Tent Cathedral.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues saying here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] …but that was a ministry for about 30 years (\[JBP\] speaking of Jesus, the ministry of Jesus), almost 30 years, until Christ began His Ministry.And even while He was present it was a mystery to the religious leaders of that time: they did not understand that all those prophecies and parables that spoke of the First Coming of Christ were being fulfilled in Jesus. And yet they were expecting another man, a Messiah to come, and they were expecting an Elijah to come, and they were probably expecting him to come in a chariot of fire.Because they may have thought: “Just as he left, he has to come; because he cannot come from Heaven in any other form, because he left in a chariot of fire; and there is no other way for Elijah to come. Therefore, he has to come in a chariot of fire; and we are all going to see him, all of us are going to see him. He has to come to us who are the religious leaders, we are the Council of the Hebrew religion. He cannot come to anybody else.” But see, that pride was useless (\[JBP\] like many: they are waiting for him in a certain way, and pride does not allow them to see what God is fulfilling in the midst of God’s people in this end time; the same thing happens, because of their pride).When God reveals Himself, He reveals Himself; no matter if they are not the great religious leaders.Now, if they wanted to know…; well, look, when the wise men came saying, “Where is the King of the Jews who has been born, for we have seen His Star in the East?” Then he, Herod, wanted to know where the Messiah was to be born….\[JBP\] Now see, why did they want to know? Why did Herod want to know? It was to kill Him. It was not to go and worship Him, as he said: “Tell me, that I may go and worship Him.” That is why he did not reveal that mystery either; it was only to Mary there, and what he tells us: that some knew that mystery, but very few.He did not reveal it to the religious leaders, nor to Herod; because see what they were going to do (commanded by Herod): kill the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah in the midst of the Hebrew people.And just as Gabriel, the Archangel, told Mary all that great mystery there, which he tells us there that in the end time there was going to be that angelic conversation as Mary had there… And the Archangel Gabriel had it in this end time in the midst of the Church, speaking to her of all these things that were going to happen, and speaking to her of the fulfillment, of the reality in the midst of the Church of the Lord, of that glorious manifestation that was going to be manifested in a Great Tent Cathedral, and all those things; but he did not identify who it was.And surely many had to ask him or make the question, and others thought it was in him; and with that they are satisfied.Because if he were to identify (before he left) who he was, the people who are against him would surely look for him to eliminate him; because it is the same spirit of the devil.God always takes His man but leaves His Spirit. And the devil takes his man but leaves his spirit. In other words, they always run parallel.That is in, if you look it up (I don’t know if it is in *The Ages*) where it says that God takes man, but leaves His Spirit^{[⁷](#sdfootnote7sym)}; and the devil also takes his man but leaves his spirit.In other words, if he would have said it, they would have made his life impossible from the beginning. Because it was not to believe or receive Him, at that time Herod and the religious leaders, but it was to kill Him (that was what Herod wanted to do).And later, during Jesus’ ministry, they were always looking for Him and saying things to tempt Him. What we read these days: they were always coming, but He already knew what it was for; it was always to tempt Him, so that He would fail, and then condemn Him and judge Him and blaspheme Him.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William goes on to say here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] Then he, Herod, wanted to know where the Messiah had to be born: they looked for the scholars and doctors of the Law, the main leaders, they looked for the prophecy; and they say to Herod: “It must be in Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet (that is in Micah, chapter 2, verse 5); so says the prophecy, therefore, it has to be born in Bethlehem of Judea.”And why didn’t the high priest with the Sanhedrin Council, with the wise men, go to Bethlehem of Judea to look for the Messiah? They were not interested. They perhaps thought, “We are fine here, let Him come to us.”\[JBP\] As if God has to fulfill things the way people or persons want it to be fulfilled!Now, look at the writing that we had read in these days^{[⁸](#sdfootnote8sym)}, where it says, our brother William writes:*\[WSS\] «After seeing the sign of the birth and Coming of the Messiah, the King of kings, the wise men looked for Him: So it must be at the Last Day. And they will find Him; for it is promised. And He will be found in a big Tent Cathedral».*\[JBP\] If you want to find Him, then look for Him in the Tent, it is already written there! But He is not going to be found the way some want Him to manifest Himself to them. It has to be according to what Reverend William Branham foreshadowed, according to the Message he brought; and he said how that final manifestation would be: that it would be in a Great Tent Cathedral.\[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]\[WSS\] But look, when He came almost 30 years ago, when He manifested Himself in His messianic ministry, they said: “It is Beelzebub, by the finger of Beelzebub, the prince of demons, cast out demons.” In other words, they were with that saying that the one in Jesus was Beelzebub, that it was Beelzebub made flesh in Jesus.But Christ said to them: “If I by the finger of Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? But I, if by the finger of God I cast out demons, the Kingdom of God has come upon you, the Kingdom of God is among you.”^{[⁹](#sdfootnote9sym)}Now, the Holy Spirit was there in the person of Jesus; the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, was there covered with a veil of flesh. They could not see the Pillar of Fire, why? Because He was within a veil of flesh.Just as in the most holy place of the temple which Solomon built and of the tabernacle which Moses built: they could not see the Pillar of Fire upon the mercy seat, because it was covered, it was covered with the walls and everything; and the people could not enter into that place, except the high priest.Now, he says:^{[¹⁰](#sdfootnote10sym)}*“\[202\] And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the stre-…on the scene; God moves Hisself fully on, to redeem it all.”*\[JBP\] That is what we read a little while ago; brother William quotes it there.\[WSS\] This is what is promised for the believers in Christ in the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ; and this is the most important part of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God; the most important part for this end time, for our transformation, to redeem us; that is to give us the new, eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified body; because our adoption is the redemption of the body, where we will obtain the eternal body.(...) The revival of the Last Day for the Church of Jesus Christ is for the Age of the Cornerstone. The revival of the Last Day in the Age of the Cornerstone is brought by the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. No other person can bring it.Let’s read something here. It says on page 156, paragraph 1399, it says \[*Quotations*\]:^{[¹¹](#sdfootnote11sym)}*1399 - “*^*\[55\]* *And the Message for that certain age, God’s predestinated that certain thing to happen and there’s not another thing can take its place. Care what it is, how many man-made achievements, nothing can take its place. He predestinated the man, maybe a ignorant man. He might have predestinated him another kind of a man. Whatever he is, He gives him his class, his—his gift, give him his nature, his style, and whatever it is, how he expresses himself, and whatever he does. He makes the man of the hour to catch the people of the hour.”*\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] That is quote 1399, which he quoted there, and we are going to see here a little moment where he writes several important quotes there; but we are only going to read this one, where he writes there:*\[WSS\] «To His prophet = comes with the team for the age or»*, and he does not write anything else, but “or dispensation.”And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «The man of the hour»*.And further down he writes: *\[WSS\] «The people of the hour»*.\[JBP\] In other words, notice, *\[WSS\] «The man of the hour»*; that is, the one He will be using in that present time.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] And on page 36, paragraph 297, says \[***Quotations***\]:^{[¹²](#sdfootnote12sym)} *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 writes: *\[WSS\] «Ambassador of God = Heaven supports him.**What the messenger binds or loosens».*\[JBP\] It is the messenger, notice, as God’s Ambassador, the one that God will be supporting to “catch the people of the hour.”\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues saying here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] And that is what He has always done: He has taken the people of the hour and placed them where? In the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ our Savior.Therefore, something else cannot take the place. It cannot take the place of what God has predestined for an age, nothing else can take it, but what God has predestined. The fulfillment of what God has predestined is what makes the Work of God for that age.That is what the Church from age to age waited for in every age. And when was it fulfilled? When God sent the messenger of that age. When He sent him, there was the man for that age with the Message for that age, to God through him bring the revival of that age.\[JBP\] He continues, further on he says:\[WSS\] (...) And now, he says She will awaken.And on page 212 \[p. 251 in Eng.\] of the book of *The Seals*, it says: “The Church (that is, the Bride) has not had a revival yet, nothing to awaken Her.”*“*^*183* *The—the Bride hasn’t had a revival yet. See? There’s been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We’re looking for it now. It’ll take those seven unknown Thunders back there, to wake Her up again, see. Yeah. He’ll send it. He promised it.”*(\[JBP\] He read there the book of *The Seals*, page 212).You see? What brings the awakening of the Church of Jesus Christ at the Last Day is the Voice of Christ, the Seven Thunders, which is the Voice of Christ; the Seven Thunders of Revelation, chapter 10; and that is what will call and gather the Church of Jesus Christ at the Last Day, in the Age of the Cornerstone.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Look on page 167 of the book of ***Quotations***,^{[¹³](#sdfootnote13sym)} it tells us there in paragraph 1486; it says: *1486 - “*^*40*\_ I believe the church is beginning to hear the Message, and begin to understand. But, friends, listen, we’ve got to lay in the Presence of the Son, we’ve got to be ripened. Our—our faith isn’t ripe. Intellectually we’re hearing the Message that God has give us\_ (\[JBP\] they are intellectually listening to the Message)\_, and seeing the signs that He showed us, and proving it by the Bible, it’s there, but, oh, how the church needs to lay in His Presence till it tenders up, you know, and gets sweet in the Spirit so that it can bathe down. Sometimes in speaking the Message, you get harsh, have to break it in like that, because you’ve got to clinch a nail to make it hold. But when the Church once gets It, the Elected is called out and separated\_ (\[JBP\] and that is the Work of the harvesting Angels, of Moses and Elijah)\_, then in the Presence of God\_ (\[JBP\] and he writes): *\[WSS\] «Most Holy Place»**…”*\[JBP\] See, the man of the hour is placed, he takes the people of the hour; but see, he places them in the stage or age corresponding to that time, to that moment.Because brother William, that mighty Archangel, brought us that glorious Message, where in ‘74 that stage begins, and in ‘77 he speaks to us about the Dispensation of the Kingdom. And we enter into that spiritual rapture in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and he brings the Message of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, and we were within the Dispensation of the Kingdom in the spiritual field.And that now, at the end of the Dispensation of Grace (which has already happened) and the beginning of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, is the first and only occasion where we are going to experience, or a human being can experience…Because look, for the change from the Dispensation of Innocence to Conscience, and from Conscience to Human Government, and then from Human Government to the Dispensation of the Promise, and from the Promise to the Dispensation of the Law, and from the Law to the Dispensation of Grace; notice, up to that point (let’s say), up to that moment, the human being that lived in those dispensational intertwining died.And it is the only occasion in which a human being, sons and daughters of God, chosen of God, who are the Bride, the wise virgins, will be experiencing that change of dispensation being in these earthly bodies; and we will also be enjoying that dispensation in the glorified bodies.In other words, what is happening now, in these bodies, is each one of us, of – you and I, experiencing the Dispensation of the Kingdom, as the apostles experienced the beginning of the Dispensation of Grace.They were experiencing the Dispensation of the Law; and then in that dispensational interlace, which opened fully on the Day of Pentecost there with 120, they entered into the Dispensation of Grace; and they were experiencing two dispensations.Now, we experience the end of the Dispensation of Grace, and we experience the spiritual realm…; because remember we come with both portions. We experience that spiritual rapture to the Dispensation of the Kingdom; but then we experience in these bodies the Dispensation of the Kingdom being in these bodies; to then continue the Dispensation of the Kingdom in the glorious Millennial Kingdom being in the eternal and glorified body. It is the only people that will be experiencing that such glorious thing. And then eternity.See what a great blessing we have.And so everything that He brought to us, that he spoke to us that the Dispensation of the Kingdom was in our midst, now it is a reality, now we are feeling it.*1486 - “*^*\[40\]**...the Elected is called out and separated, then in the Presence of God* *\[WSS\] «Most Holy Place»**, I know it’ll be something like the people was There when It takes Its **Rapture**.”*\[JBP\] And he writes: *\[WSS\] «It will be like the people there in Paradise and the Rapture»*.\[JBP\] And he draws a Cornerstone, the *\[WSS\] «8»*; and the ages below; and on the seventh he writes: *\[WSS\] «7»*. And when he says “Rapture” he makes an arrow towards the Pyramid.We had already read all of this. You should have it. We are doing a little review there.^{[¹⁴](#sdfootnote14sym)}\[JBP\] And on the side he also writes: *\[WSS\] «The Sun to ripen our faith»*.*\[WSS\] «the Sun: the Light»*, he also writes there.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] Our brother William continues to say here \[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]:\[WSS\] And there She has a revival: the revival, the awakening of the Last Day, the awakening of this end time, which will grow more and more until it will fully fulfill the Tent Vision; and the great miracles and wonders will be performed (\[JBP\] notice, everything is progressive and everything will be progressive). And Reverend William Branham said that is for Elijah and Moses.Therefore, notice that there the mystery of the Two Olive Trees will be manifested for the Church and for the Hebrew people; because the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet are the Coming of the Lord.And the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, and the Seventh Trumpet is Moses and Elijah…\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] On paragraph 1208 of page 136, says \[***Quotations***\]:^{[¹⁵](#sdfootnote15sym)} *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 —\_ (\[JBP\] Those are questions, three consecutive ones) *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?* (\[JBP\] Almost four questions) *\[...\]*(\[JBP\] He says): *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. \[...\]*^*198* *We’re just to wait on the Coming of the Lord.”*\[JBP\] But if miracles have to seen, is that for Moses and Elijah? And then he says… Because he says, \[WMB\] “No; the miracles take place, that’s for Moses and Elijah”; and then he says, \[WMB\] “We just have to wait for the Coming of the Lord.” In other words, the Coming of the Lord is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels. *1208 - “*^*\[198\]**Just wait; keep your lamps trimmed, all filled full of oil. Pray up every hour, not every day, every hour. Just keep ready; be ready, be sweet, and watching.”**\[WSS\] «The miracles – with Moses and Elijah»* \[JBP\] That is one of the things that he writes there.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «the Tent Vision and the miracles»*.\[JBP\] And we already know that the Tent Vision will be fulfilled —those miracles— through the ministry of Moses and Elijah.\[**“THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”**\]\[WSS\] …Reverend William Branham says in the message “Feast of the Trumpets,” and in the book of *Quotations*, page 128 and 129, and page 130 and 149.Now, see that everything is simple…\[JBP\] That is, he says (what we read there)…, he gives that quote, where you can find it.\[WSS\] Now, see that everything is simple, but it all depends on God opening the Scriptures and opening our understanding to comprehend.\[JBP\] Now, it has to be a people with prophetic insight. Whoever does not have that prophetic insight, does not have the prophetic perception, will never see it, will never understand it.\[WSS\] We saw that from the West comes, appears, the white horse Rider of Revelation 19. We also saw that from the West is that the Angel that was different from the others came flying from Occident to West. See? Everything fits perfectly with the parables and prophecies corresponding to this end time.Therefore, we thank Christ for having us in the West to see the mysteries of the Kingdom of God pertaining to this end time, being fulfilled, being opened, being revealed; and our souls, our hearts, being opened; and our understanding being opened to see, to understand and believe and receive the mysteries of God being fulfilled in this end time, pertaining to this end time.\[*Rev. Jose B. Perez*\] On page 124 of the book of ***Quotations***,^{[¹⁶](#sdfootnote16sym)} paragraph 1101, says: *1101 - “*^*98* *Here, why couldn’t they see Jesus? He was masked. God was masked. The Greeks wanted a God, and here He was, but they couldn’t see Him because of the veil. \[...\]*^*\[100\]* *There stood a man. They come to see God, and they seen a man. See? They couldn’t see God because God was veiled to them. Now keep that on your mind…”*\[JBP\] And he writes at the top: *\[WSS\] «The Works of God in a man»*.He also writes: *\[WSS\] «God in the form of man»*.*\[WSS\] «God hiding Himself in simplicity»*.And he also writes: *\[WSS\] «God veiled in a man»*.\[JBP\] That is, he writes: *\[WSS\] «God in the form of man»*. *\[WSS\] «The Works of God in a man»*. *\[WSS\] «God hiding Himself in simplicity»*. And *\[WSS\] «God veiled in a man»*. \[JBP\] There he writes those four sentences. *1101 - “*^*\[100\]**They come to see God, and they seen a man. See? They couldn’t see God because God was veiled to them. Now keep that on your mind, God was veiled in a man. They could say, ‘No man could do these works except it be God. No man can do it, and how here stands a man and yet the works of God is manifested through Him!’ See, they couldn’t understand that God was veiled.*^*101*\_He is veiled in a man, as He always was veiled. But, He was veiled unto them, He was in His human temple\_ (\[JBP\] and he also writes here): *\[WSS\] «a man = His human temple»**. God was in a human temple. Now, be real careful, now He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. \[...\]*^*104**God veiled in the form of a man, hid Himself from their view.”*\[JBP\] “Now, be real careful, now, and keep that,” he has been saying. *1101 - “*^*\[104\]**They could only see a man. But those Predestinated seen God. One saw a man, the other one saw God. See? And it was God veiled in a human being, making both of them right…”*\[JBP\] Those who saw a man were fine, and those who saw God were more than fine! Because they automatically knew that God was through that man. In other words, they were looking behind the veil and could see God, which was the important thing; not man.The most important thing about an Ambassador from Heaven, about a prophet that God sends in every age and in every dispensation, is what he brings to the people. And in this time the most important thing that God is doing in the midst of the people is the Rapturing Faith, what He is bringing to the people.And that is what the people needs, that is what His Bride needs. That is why he says^{[¹⁷](#sdfootnote17sym)}: \[WMB\] “With what we have now we don’t have enough faith for divine healing; those Seven Thunders are needed to awaken Her. He will send them, He promised.”If it is a promise, then God has to fulfill it. *1101 - “*^*\[104\]**And it was God veiled in a human being, making both of them right* (\[JBP\] that is, the two – they were seeing both things; one saw a man and the other saw God)*, but your faith in that what you don’t see. You believe it, anyhow. God veiled in a human being.”*\[JBP\] Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear! What many prophets and righteous desired to see and hear: you are hearing it, and I am hearing it, and I am seeing it! God manifesting Himself in the midst of His Church fulfilling what He promised.Let us stand up, please, and thus leave with this topic: **“THE MYSTERY OF THE ANGELS OF THE HARVEST,”** our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.\* \* \*
