TITLE: THE MYSTERY OF THE REDEMPTION AND THE GRACE TO BE ADOPTED Dr. William Soto Santiago Monday, August 11, 1997 (Second activity) Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Mexico
**Scripture: Romans 8:11-23** **THE SEVEN FEASTS IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Sunday, October 15, 1978 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Now, you can see then, that the Year of Jubilee (which represents the Age of the Cornerstone, which represents the Golden Age, which represents the Messianic Age, in which we are living): seven glorious feasts are automatically traveled there, in one age. So we don’t need two thousand years to go through seven ages, because we have entered a faster cycle, see? [Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the book of The Seals our brother Branham tells us, to have this part here where he tells us about those seven eyes, which are the seven angel messengers of the seven ages of the Church; on page 90 [pgs. 99-100 in Eng.], he says: “231 ‘Seven horns’ was the seven churches, see, the seven church ages, because that was the Lamb’s protection. What He protected His rights with, on earth, was a God-sent Group of people that protected; see, the horn on the Lamb.232 ‘Seven eyes’ are the seven messengers of the seven church ages. ‘Seven eyes,’ seven seers.233 Would you like to write down some Scripture? Let’s just turn to it. What do you say, you got that much time? [Congregation says, ‘Amen.’—Ed.] All right. Let’s go to Zechariah, the Book of—of Zechariah, just a little bit, and we’ll—we’ll read some of this.234 I—I don’t want to keep you too long on these things. And—and I… But, yet, I don’t want you to miss it. What’s any more important than this? [Congregation says, ‘Amen.’—Ed.] Yeah. What’s more… [Someone in the congregation says, ‘Brother Branham?’] What? [‘You don’t measure that.’] Nothing more important than Eternal Life to a person. And we must—we must get this now, and—and be sure that we get it.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] There on the side, brother William writes: [WSS] «7 eyes = 7 messengers / 7 horns = 7 ages of the Church».And there he also makes reference to the Compendium of “ANGELS,” page 18, where he talks about the Archangel Gabriel, who does like a drama [performance] and asks him the question: “What is the greatest thing that God has created?” And he says: “Eternal life.” We have already read that one on other occasions, but he writes it there also, in the book of Compendium of “ANGELS,” page 18.He goes on to say here, he says:The seven past ages were in a slower cycle, which took a long time; but since the Golden Age, the Age of the Cornerstone, the Age of the Year of Jubilee, is an age that is outside of time —because time has ended—, then it is not subject to time; but in it everything is traveled so quickly, that what it took two thousand years, approximately, for the elect to travel: the elect of this time travel it in the twinkling of an eye. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a part that brother William spoke to us about on several occasions, that in each age… remember that eyes represent messengers: One eye opens: one age opens; one eye closes. One eye opens, another eye closes. See? And so God is opening and closing the age by means of the messenger that… That age is opened by means of that messenger (one eye is opened), then God takes the messenger away (that eye is closed). And so on, until reaching the seventh age; but in the Age of the Cornerstone, our brother William was showing us there that those seven ages run consecutively, because it is an age…, he says that we are in a faster cycle.And the same thing happens, it is in the twinkling of an eye; and the eyes of this time are the ministries of Moses and Elijah. God opened this dispensation, brought His Message through His messenger, and then closed his eyes, see? God takes away the messenger. The same thing that happened in the ages happens: He opened the messenger, God through the messenger of His age, through the prophet messenger of that age, takes him away and closes the eye. But in this time then, already, come to be those two ministries that the Son of Man would manifest through human flesh in His Coming, because the Coming is with His Angels; and there is the threefold ministry in a threefold way.It says there in the book of The Seals, on page… I did not have it written down to read this part, but if you find where he says, it is in a way… (I found it here). It says on page 466 [p. 555 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals: “248 And now, as certain as I stand in the platform tonight, I had the revelation that revealed. It’s in a threefold manner. That I will speak to you, by God’s help, of a fold of It. And then you… Let’s go over that, first. Here is the revelation, to begin what I want to tell you, what It is. What happens, is that… Those Seven Thunders that he heard thunder, and was forbidden to write; that’s what the mystery is, laying behind those Seven consecutive Thunders rolling out.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there he writes… There is a study where we are going to have all that well, so that it may fall in that study. I just wanted to make reference of that part to you, that in this time the Son of Man comes with His Angels; and in His Angels, there is typified that of His eyes (because they are the eyes of the Lamb), that in this time God would be manifesting, the ministries of Moses and Elijah; and God takes the messenger and closes those eyes.It continues saying:Therefore, then, the elect of the Age of the Cornerstone being alive, it doesn’t matter that some of them have to go to rest: afterwards they return; and they return to the same age. Those who died in the age of the first Church age (back then, almost two thousand years ago), they don’t return for the first age: they return for the Age of the Cornerstone; which is the one that will be lived in at this time. Those who lived in each of the past ages, they return not to their age, but they return to our age; which is the one that will be lived in here on Earth at the time of the resurrection. But if one of us leaves, he will not return in Paul’s age, because that age has already passed; but ours is still here; and because it is eternal, it will continue for all eternity. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] See? That is why it’s the messenger… we have an eternal messenger, we have an eternal Message, an eternal age and an eternal people. In other words, with this messenger that God has sent us, which is the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord in William Soto Santiago, with this messenger we already enter eternity; there are no more messengers after this messenger that God sends, which is a dispensational messenger thus fulfilling His Coming, His Second Coming.He says:The Millennium will be lived in our age, the Millennium falls in our age, and all eternity falls in our age; even the Last Judgment falls in our age. That is why there are things that in this time can be made clear, because they have to do with the age in which we are living; that in other times couldn’t be made clear. So we can see the time we are in, the blessing that has been allotted to us; and we can thank God for this glorious blessing. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] It says in the message, let’s also read here from this one, before we go to the other excerpt, in the book of “THE AGES” unedited, page 241, it tells us:1 “270 The Message is addressed to the leader of the church. God help that guy that’ll pull away from that Message! But It was given to an angel, and the angel was in His hand under His Own control, giving it thriving power from Him, from His right hand. They’re in His right hand, that is, they’re in supreme power while they’re here on the earth; because they are the Lights from Him, giving the Light to that church age. See? ‘Unto the angel of the church.’ Addressed to the star (of the age) that is responsible. The angel of the church is responsible if he doesn’t preach the Word. That’s right. And that angel will have to answer in the judgment.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] See? There he says that at the right hand of Jesus are those seven angels, which is [WSS] «The Right Hand of Jesus - His 7 angels».And in this same message of “THE SEVEN FEASTS IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE,” it says page 14… We did not place this part there, but here it talks about where it is that those angels, who is the one that gives that power. It says on page 14 of this message:[WSS] We find that those Two Olive Trees are the ones that were pouring Oil through two pipes into what? To the candlestick deposit, so that the lamps, so that the seven candlesticks, the seven lamps, would have Oil to give light in their time.Now, notice then, where did the seven messengers get the oil from? Well, from the Two Olive Trees. So you can see then how the Oil came for the seven lamps. We see then that they were showing, reflecting…; and with an Oil from the Two Olive Trees they were bringing the Light for their day.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And he goes on to tell us: **BLESSED IS HE THAT COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Friday, January 2, 2004 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Therefore, with our spiritual eyes wide open, so that we don’t overlook this promise that later the Hebrew people will see fulfilled in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. All this corresponds to the Seventh Seal; therefore, this mystery of Christ coming to His Church is the greatest mystery of all mysteries, it is the mystery of the Seventh Seal. There are things, still, which can’t be explained; but they will be explained later. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations, in paragraph 1380, it says (this is from the message “WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION ON THE MOUNTAIN?”)...All of us at this time are in expectation; because what brother Branham always longed for was the fulfillment of the Third Pull, the fulfillment of that Vision that was shown to him there, where he saw the Pillar of Fire descending into that little room; and he saw things that were happening there, without him still being there in the little wooden room.And there, everything that he then, when he descended with the Angel, everything that he saw happening, he knew what it was like or how everything was moving about in there, and he said: “A human being in this world will never know it” [ENG56-0219 “Being Led of the Holy Spirit,” p. 9, para. 26]. He was told: “Do you remember the name you were looking for when you had the vision?” And there was something there that he had never seen in the whole history of Christianity, and that was that faith was at a very high level for all of that to be carried out.In other words, for the Pillar of Fire to be there, there was nothing impossible, for what God was going to show later on in public. But he kept that reserved, and also brother William kept it well reserved. And things that later would be fulfilled, he left what he had to leave for that moment to come.There is a part here that he… we are all in this… Remember that we are here like this in this talk…, and God help us. It says… from the message “WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION ON THE MOUNTAIN?”... And when something happens, it is something that attracts, something that draws attention; not only to a particular group; to all groups. That is why the Third Pull, in paragraph 10572 says it will be for the Bride, it will be for the foolish, the Church, and it will be for the lost, for the world, who have no opportunity. See? It is an attraction for all groups, and for the Hebrew people as well. And he says: 1380 – “[46] What is that attraction up there on the hill? (our age, the Age of the Cornerstone) It’s God making history, and God fulfilling prophecy. And that always causes an attraction. It brings all the critics up, the vultures (of this morning’s Message), and the eagles also. See? They come together to find out what’s going on. Some coming for curiosity, some coming to find fault, others coming to criticize. There’s all kinds gathered, as we said this morning: believers, make-believers, and unbelievers.”See? It is for all groups; it is the Third Pull. And there he, when he says, in paragraph 321 of the book of Quotations: 321 – “And then in there I’ll be able to carry a prayer line right on through. Now, you remember, I speak this before it comes to pass. The exceedingly abundantly is fixing to take place. I can’t wait till I get into that place. I just… My heart’s a yearning and burning. And these things here that you see now will be amateur to what our Lord is fixing to do. You just remember that with all your heart. (…) But then it’ll be no end to the prayer line for it’ll go hours after hours. And watch what our Lord is fixing to do. Now, the thing that happens in there when He told it… Now, remember, the Bible is laying open. I did it first, my hand over my heart. A human being in this world will never know it.”That is why it says here… That is why we divert there with those excerpts. It goes on to say:There are things, still, which can’t be explained; but they will be explained later. They are not yet explained so that there may be no interruption in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and so all the prophecies may be fulfilled as God has established them. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a part, now also here that…, I remember that brother William put in… (Later we take this little part and put it in the study). On page 471 [p. 561 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals, he writes that it is: [WSS] «The problem is with the ministers…». He says it from brother Branham, because brother Branham says there: [WSS] «With the ministers is the problem, they want explanation» (and he is explaining there on page 471, at the bottom of page 470). “291 I was standing with a—a little baby’s shoe, when He told me. Said, ‘Now make your First Pull. And when you do, the fish will run after the lure.’ Said, ‘Then watch your Second Pull,’ said, ‘because It’ll only be small fish.” He said, ‘Then the Third Pull will get it.’292 And all them ministers got around me, said, ‘Brother Branham, we know you can do it! Hallelujah! Brother Branham!’ That’s where I always get tied up, with a bunch of preachers. See? I love people. They want you to explain everything, this, that.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] See? And there brother William says that the problem is with the ministers, in other words, they want everything to be explained to them; but remember that there are things that the Angel told brother Branham not to say. That is why we are reading here, and I remembered when he says there that it cannot be explained, I remembered when he had written there that part that they want everything to be explained to them, when there are things that must be left to God to work and that God is the one that opens all that to us; and also to go, in other words, to fulfill all that; and then we see how it worked or that… we will know the mechanics, but after it has already been done, carried out, those stages that he was told not to say anything.He says:They are not yet explained so that there may be no interruption in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and so all the prophecies may be fulfilled as God has established them. That is why it was said to the Reverend William Branham: “Of this you shall say nothing to anyone.” What for? So that there will be no imitators; and so that anyone who tries to imitate: he will not know the mechanics and nothing will make sense with the other. See? But the true revelation of the Holy Spirit makes sense from Genesis to Revelation. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] Where he told us that the Seventh Seal has been or is being announced since Genesis.Therefore, we are living in a time parallel to the time that the Hebrew people lived in the days of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Humanity will see when the Tent Vision is happening being fulfilled; but that is the end, and it corresponds to the end of the Seventh Seal; that corresponds to the stage of adoption. And for a person to be adopted, first he has to have a ministerial trajectory, which is according to the Program that God has for that time. (...) Therefore, for this end time the ministry for the Age of the Cornerstone is of the Order of Melchizedek. And since the Age of the Cornerstone is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, it is a High Priestly ministry; therefore, he can enter the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is the Age of the Cornerstone. No other ministry of the past angels could enter to minister at the age and in the age of the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Age of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ; and therefore, it is a dispensational ministry. It is the greatest ministry that the Holy Spirit would have in the midst of His Church. And that ministry corresponds to the Angel that was different from the rest, which is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal. He will be manifested in the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, and will be in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just as each one in his age was in the midst of the Church of Jesus Christ, each of the other seven angels of the seven Church Ages. Therefore, the mystery of the Seventh Seal revolves around the Angel who was different from the rest; and that ministry will be manifested in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, to fulfill the mystery of the Seventh Seal. (...) In other words, in that trajectory of Jesus Christ we are going to see His trajectory until this end time, and the territory where it is indicated in the Scripture that He will be in this end time in His ministry of the Last Day; and then He will pass to the Hebrew people. As the sun rises from the East until it reaches the West; and then it returns to the East, to the orient. Now, do you know something? The sun comes, goes out of the East, comes walking to the West; and then it goes back through the other side of the world, to the West. And here we are going to leave it alone so as not to open much of this mystery until the time comes. Saint Paul wanted to take the route of the return of the sun, when he had to take the route of the rising of the sun, heading West; but the return of the sun is from West to East. We will leave it there. I believe that Miguel (who was there alert) noticed something there; but we are going to leave it there. Another time, then, maybe we will talk about it. Or when we see, when the Sun is returning to the East, I will tell you: “See, on that occasion I told you that the Sun, when it comes from the East to the West, it takes a route; but you see, when it goes back, it goes the other way.” And there we are going to leave it, until it takes that route, perhaps; so that the whole Program that God has for the return of the Sun to the East is not interrupted. * * *
