BIBLE STUDY #452
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2024
San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, Mexico
Dr. José Benjamín Pérez’s visit to the congregation of the Reverend Salvador Hernández Shilón in San Juan Chamula took place after the completion of a construction project that had lasted three years. The laying of the floor (26 tons of cement) was an event that took place in a single day with the participation of 80 people, including children, men and women. An average of more than 9,000 people (from all over the country and some from abroad) had been coming to the site for three days to take part in the visit. The local community (approximately 550 people) provided 9 buffaloes and 400 kilos of chicken, among other foods, to cater for all attendees free of charge. During the Bible Studies, there was simultaneous translation into the languages commonly spoken in the area: Tzotzil and Tzeltal. –Editor*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Having already heard the dedication of this beautiful hall, which I’ve seen from the beginning. Salvador used to send me the videos of all the updates, and you did a job well done! I congratulate you for this beautiful place that God has provided you.
And just as Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin has spoken and has prayed and has dedicated: May God hear this dedication being made by Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, and may everything that is done in this place be pleasing to our heavenly Father; may this people receive great blessings from God, and may they receive the greatest one: the transformation of their bodies.
For this occasion our subject is:
WATCHING AND WORKING FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, May 3, 2014 Bogota, Colombia
Scripture: Mark 13:24-37
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Mark 13:24-37
34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
WATCHING AND WORKING FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SCRIPTURES
JBPIn the Bible study of this subject, on verse 35 of the Bible study, where we put this Scripture, there on the left side he writes, in verse 35 of this 13th chapter, where it says:
Mark 13:35
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Watch for the Coming of the Lord». Because the Lord is the Master of the House, of His Church.
JBPMark 13:37
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
[JBP] There on the right he writes:
[WSS] «Watch for the Coming of the Son of Man».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*THE ENTRANCE OF JESUS CHRIST INTO JERUSALEM Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, March 24, 2013 Cayey, Puerto Rico
It is important that we are aware of all these things, in order to receive all that Christ has for us. He comes to claim all those who have received Him with His precious Blood, to bring forth the adoption or redemption of the body, which is our transformation. It says:
[JBP] And he turns to the book of The Seals to quote that portion of page 104 [p. 123 in Eng. (First Seal)], around the middle of the last paragraph, he begins to read where it says:
“[74] …and reveal the whole secret of God, for the rapturing of the Church.
75 And then there is coming forth seven mysterious Thunders that’s not even written at all. That’s right. And I believe that, through those Seven Thunders, will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith. Because, what we got right now, we—we wouldn’t be able to do it. There is something. We’ve got to step farther. We, we can’t have enough faith for Divine healing, hardly. We’ve got to have enough faith to be changed, in a moment, and be swept up out of this earth. And we’ll find that, after a while, the Lord willing, find where It’s written.”
JBPJBP76 Then, all the judgments of these evil doers! Now, see, down through the ages of these Seals, has been breaking [WSS] «has been fulfilled», until now the last Seal is broken. ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «fulfills the 7th Seal».
JBPAnd on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] All of this is under the Seventh Seal. Therefore, we must be in expectation because a great blessing is coming from God to prepare us…
[JBP] In other words, if “a blessing is coming from God to prepare us” this means that the something that will come is what the Bride needs to obtain the Rapturing Faith; in other words, what has been brought up to that point is not the content of what the Bride needs.
Now he says what for, he says:
[WSS] … to have that rapturing faith and so that we can be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
[JBP] Without that preparation, which brings the Thunders, there is no transformation and there is no rapture. And he says…, he goes on to say:
[WSS] The transformation will be like divine healing: you have to believe to be healed by God; and that revolves around the First Coming of Christ and His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross. And for the transformation and rapture, everything will revolve through and around the Second Coming of Christ to His Church…
[JBP] So, what does God’s elect have to do to obtain total healing, the transformation? What? Believe. We believed in the First Coming of the Lord and His Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross and we obtained the new birth; notice, by believing: believing in that Work, believing in the One who carried out that Work, Work of Redemption. And for the transformation it is the same: it is required that we believe in the One who comes to claim; it is the same: it will be parallel in every way.1
[WSS] … it will be revolving around that mystery contained in the Seventh Seal, which is revealed by Christ when He cries as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices. It is the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church and revealing to Her that mystery of the Seventh Seal.
[JBP] Whose voice? The Voice of Christ.
[WSS] Christ coming as Lion, crying as Lion, as King; and that is Christ coming on a white horse or on a white cloud. The meaning is the same: it is the Coming of the Lord, as it was shown on Mount Transfiguration with Moses on one side and Elijah on the other side ([JBP] page 42 of the book of Quotations2; there he shows us, on that page, in one of the excerpts), talking with Jesus about Him going to Jerusalem to fulfill the Program of Redemption, so that redemption could take place.
Therefore, in the Coming of the Lord to His Church there will be something important that will be having to do with the redemption of Israel as a nation, to be restored to the Kingdom of David.
All of this will fulfill the vision or dream that a person had, who saw brother Branham, Reverend William Branham, on a big, military horse, and said: “I’ll ride this trail, this path, again.” Notice how Revelation 19 is reflected in the dream that this person had.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*It says, page 157…, and there we see what our brother William is telling us about this dream that the person had, paragraph 1410, which, He will fulfill this dream; notice, Revelation 11 is everything that God is carrying out in the midst of His Church in this Last Day. It says:
14103 – “257 He said, ‘Mr. Branham, I realize I got to stand before God.’ He said, ‘I don’t know whether I was asleep or what happened.’ He said, ‘I dreamed. I’m going to say I was asleep and I dreamed.’
258 Said, ‘I thought my son, in the market, stuck his hand in a—a sack.’ And said, ‘When he did, it was a sack of apples, and they all turned over.’ Said, ‘When I went to pick them up, they was all green apples with one bite taken out of them.’ Said, ‘I was picking them up, put them back in the sack.’ Said, ‘Some of them rolled out, and rolled down, so I went to try to get them, and under...on the grass.’ And said, ‘They rolled under one of these chain-lock fences. And there was a big super highway run in there. I looked back east, and,’ he said, ‘the— the—the chain was hooked against a—a big rock back in the east.”
JBPAnd on top of “the east” he writes: [WSS] «Israel».
1410 – “[258] And I went back there, and thought I’d let this chain down, then go over and get the apples for the man.’ Said, ‘I started to let the chain down.’
259 Said, ‘A voice shook the whole earth.’ Said, ‘The earth shook, from under my feet.’ And said, ‘After it quit shaking, I heard a voice.’ And said, ‘Brother Branham, it was your voice,’ said, ‘I knowed; there was something said that.’ Said—said, ‘It said, “I’ll ride ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «5th Elijah» ([JBP] on top) this trail once more!”’
260 And said, ‘I started looking up the rock, like this, and looked on ([JBP] I am turning the page of the other one as well, to have them next to each other there), in a past the clouds. And way up there, standing on a rock ([JBP] and there, again he writes): [WSS] «Christ» that reached from the east to the west, in a pointed shape like that, like a pyramid, run back here to the east, and,’ said, ‘there you were standing there, on a horse that I never seen anything like it in my life; great white horse…”
JBPThe Coming of the Lord was being reflected in him in this dream; and in brother Branham, where the ministry of Elijah was in its fourth manifestation.
1410 – “[260] …white mane hanging down.’ And said, ‘You was dressed like an Indian chief, with all the things the Indians use.’ Said, ‘He had a breastplate; them bangles on the arms, and all down around like that.’ Said, ‘You had your hands up like that.’ And said, ‘That horse standing there like a military horse, with a prance like this, walking,’ me standing still. And said, ‘You pulled on the reins, went riding off towards the west.’
261 Said, ‘I looked down there, and there was a whole lot of scientists.’ And the next morning...That was Saturday. On the next morning, I preached on scientists, you know, being of the devil. And said, ‘Scientists there were pouring things in tubes, and mixing it.’ Said, ‘You stopped the horse, raised up your hands again and screamed, “I’ll ride this trail once more!”’ [WSS] «5th Elijah» And said, ‘The whole earth shook. Them people shook,’ said, ‘looked up and looked at one another, like that, and looked up to you. They just shrugged their shoulders, went on with their scientific research.’ And said, ‘You started going on towards the west.
262 ‘And when it did,’ said, ‘I seen this man that called himself a prophet, you know,’ said, ‘he come up on a horse that was mixed with white and black together.’”
JBP1410 – “[262] And said, ‘He got up behind this great big horse.’ Said, ‘It was,’ said, ‘way up above the clouds, and the road wasn’t over about that wide.’ And said, ‘That horse just danced, to the wind blowing the feathers and everything on—on your garb,’ and said, ‘then the horse mane and tail blowing. Great master, big white horse, walking right in line ([JBP] upwards there, on the right side, upwards, he writes): [WSS] «white horse = Great Master — West».’ And said—and said, ‘This guy ran up behind you, come from towards Canada,’ and the man lives in Canada. And he said, ‘Come back, and,’ said, ‘he took his little horse, trying to knock your big horse off…”
JBP5474 – “[35] So much as we have here.
36 A devil is almost harmless unless he can have something to work in.”
JBPAnd he writes there: [WSS] «the devil can do no harm if he has no one to work with».
And that is where he writes various instruments used by the devil, he writes: [WSS] «The serpent, Cain, Judas, (and at this end time, he says): the antichrist, the beast».
Meaning, he will use that man of sin.
Now he says:
547 – “[36] He’s got…You remember those devils that were cast out of Legion? They had…they want to do more mischievousness, so they wanted to go in the hogs. So, devils must have something to work in, somebody to work through.
37 And that’s the way God does, too. He has to have us. He’s depending on us, to work through us.”
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*1410 – “[262] …‘he took his little horse, trying to knock your big horse off ([JBP] that is, trying to knock down Revelation 11); turning him around; make his hips hit against the…’”
JBP1410 – “[262] Said, ‘It never moved the big horse…’”
JBPRemember that it is God in His Coming. Who moves God the Creator of Heaven and Earth? No one, on this planet Earth, nor His instrument nor the sons and daughters of God either; for God is in them too. Nothing can harm us.
Notice, Romans is where it says: “Nothing will separate us from the love, (it says): nor tribulation, nor distress, nor persecution, nor nakedness, nor famine, nor peril.”5 Nothing! And nothing means nothing.
1410 – “[262] Said, ‘It never moved the big horse; he just kept walking.’”
JBP1410 – “263 Said, ‘Then, all of a sudden,’ said, ‘you turned around.’ Said, ‘That would be the third time you had spoke, but the second time you said “I’ll ride.”’ And said, ‘You didn’t speak like you did. You commanded.’ Said, ‘You turned around and called the man by name, and said, “Get off of here! You know that no man can ride this road here without God be ordaining him to do it ([JBP] because that’s the ministerial path of Elijah, along with the one of Moses and of Jesus). Get off of here!”’
264 And said, ‘The man turned around.’ And said, ‘The man has wrote me letters.’ And said, ‘Across his horse’s hips,’ that black and gray, and mixed up together, said, ‘across his horse’s hips was wrote his name, signature just exactly like is on his letter. And he rode off towards the north.’”
JBP1410 - “265 Said, ‘Then you went on down ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «Latin America and the Caribbean, Southwest»; that big horse turned around, way as far west as you could.’ Said, ‘You stood and raised your hands up like that*.’ Then he started crying. Said, ‘Brother Branham, to see that horse standing there; all that war bonnet and everything like that, and,’ said, ‘that breastplate and everything shine.’ Said, ‘You held your hands up a little while.’ ([JBP] Hehe!) And said, ‘You looked down again, picked up the reins, said, “I’ll ride this trail just once more!”’ [WSS] «5th Elijah*» ([JBP] on top, again he writes): [WSS] «5th Elijah». Said, ‘The whole earth shook back and forth, like that.’ And said, ‘There was no more life left in me; I just fell down aside of the rock. Then I woke up.’
Said, ‘What does it mean, sir?’
I said, ‘I don’t know.’
266 Next morning...Junior Jackson (...).”
JBP1410 - “[268] He said, ‘I dreamed, Brother Branham, me and my wife was out riding.’ And said, ‘I looked back in the east, and I saw, look like, a spot, like one of them flying saucers.’”
JBP1410 – “269 See, the world don’t know what that is, you know. You know it’s on. We know what it is. See? We know it’s investigating, judgment Angels, you see. And how at the Pentagon and all, about how it comes right down; and the intelligence, how they can go like a flash and be gone, pull away from anything they got. See, they don’t realize what it is, see. Let them think whatever they want to.”
JBP1410 – “[269] They call it flying saucers ([JBP] and again he writes there): [WSS] «flying saucers», or whatever. They don’t know, see.
270 Said, ‘And I seen it coming, and I watched it. And what it was, it was a man on a horse.’ And said, ‘He was coming with lightning speed.’ ([JBP] Here, this version says: ‘at the speed of lightning’). Said, ‘I seen he was going to come down in front of me. And I stopped my car, jumped out. When it did,’ said, ‘the car...horse was standing in the road, a great white military horse walking in a prance.’ ([JBP] above he had written): [WSS] «Flying saucers: judgment investigators». That’s the Word, of course, you know, walking in a prance.
271 *Said, ‘There was a man sitting on there.’ Said, ‘He—he was dressed in western garb…” *([JBP] Here it’s: ‘western garments’)].
JBPAnd in that same line, on the right, upwards, he writes: [WSS] «with western garb».
And above he writes: [WSS] «Western garb = the veil of flesh».
To speak more plainly.
In other words, how would the veil of flesh have its garment, or what garment would the veil of flesh use?...
So that you can see all of me: [Dr. JBP moves to the side of the pulpit so that the audience can see his full body –Ed.].
So, notice how everything is so simple, everything in simplicity.
Now, he also writes there, on top of that whole margin: [WSS] «White horse = the Word».
The Word is a power. The horse represents the power of God. A beast is a power.
1410 – “[271] ‘…wasn’t a cowboy, but,’ said, ‘looked like a chief over rangers or something.’ See, all of his chief authority, from the west; the Indians over the Indians; rangers over, see. And said, ‘The man had his hat pulled down, and had...was looking sideways.’ And said, ‘When he turned sideways,’ said, ‘it was you, Brother Branham.’ Said, ‘You never talked like you did. You said, “Junior!”’ Called him three times. ‘And said, “I’ll tell you what to do.”’ And said, ‘Then you pulled up on the reins of this horse. You made about three lopes, and took to the skies, and you were gone towards the west.’”
JBP1410 – “272 He said, ‘Just a minute, I looked around, and here come a horse smaller than that one, of the same breed, but smaller, and stood.’ Said, ‘I walked around, said, “He must have sent this back for me.”’ Said, ‘I got in it.’ (Junior has done a little riding, too. He said, ‘You know how your saddle fits you, Brother Branham, the stirrups and everything?’) Said, ‘I thought, “Well, this fits me just right.” So I pulled up on the reins, off through the skies.’ Said, ‘I pulled on the reins and stopped him, turned him around and went back. See? When I went back,’ said, ‘I stopped the horse, got off, talked to the wife. The horse was gone.’ And he...?...
273 Then, day before yesterday, three days ago, come Leo Mercier, coming down with exactly the same dream, not knowing nothing about it; about trying to breed a big white stallion to a black mare, and they couldn’t do it; nervous. Said I walked up there, said, ‘“Leo,”’ and told him what I did. I don’t want to say it here, see, but I told him what I did. ‘Said, “Don’t you see? Now, to know this; I didn’t know Ed Daulton had a son-in-law, and the son-in-law had a dog by this name. You’ll know, Leo, that you’re dreaming. But, when you wake up, remember it!”’ And said, ‘I never heard such a command.’
274 About that time, Roy Roberson come in, said, ‘Brother Branham, you remember back there before you left the church the first time? We was...I seen you sitting, like in Palestine. We was all, the board and everything, was sitting like the Lord’s supper table, and then you talked. And you...He wasn’t sure what you was talking about.’ Said, ‘A white cloud come down and got you, packed you away.’ How many remembers the—the dream of Brother Roy? And said, ‘The white cloud packed you away,’ and said, ‘then you was gone. I walked through the streets, screaming and crying.’
275 When I come up out here, and that little old arm crippled up, like he was, a reading this. He dropped the rake and started crying when he seen me coming up out there. I hadn’t seen him so he tell me the dream. And he said...And he was raking. I said…
276 ‘And—and you went away.’ Said, ‘I walked the streets, everywhere, trying to find you. I couldn’t find you, nowhere…’”
JBP1410 – “[276] ‘...I was screaming, “Oh, Brother Branham, don’t leave!”’ Said, ‘A white cloud come in and got you, and packed you away from us, towards the west.’”
JBPAnd upwards he writes: [WSS] «The White Cloud».
1410 – “[277] That was before the pyramid or anything. Said, ‘Packed you towards the west. And I cried, and I walked the streets.’
277 Said, ‘After a while I went and sat at the table. I happened to look up there at the head of the table.’ Said, ‘I could just see that much of you, was snow white.’ Said, ‘You was standing there.’ And said, ‘You spoke with authority. There was no guessing to it.’ Said, ‘Every man understood exactly what you said.’
278 Oh, my brother, sister, now, every one of you conscious, I know what that means. See?”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Notice how Revelation 19 is reflected in that dream that this person had.
Now we ask the question: Where will it come from? And that is very important, because we all want that blessing.
JBP14966 – “225 Why, me an old man, suffered all my life, why did He heal me now (heal me now)? I believe I’ll ride this trail again, I got to bring a Message!”
JBP“I got to bring a Message” he says: [WSS] «Year of Jubilee».
And above in that paragraph he writes: [WSS] «(5th Elijah). The Gospel of the Kingdom». «I’ll ride this trail again. I have to bring a Message (of the Year of Jubilee)».
And under that paragraph he also writes: [WSS] «A [New] Message will come = Year of Jubilee [the Gospel of the Kingdom]». [WSS] «A new dispensational Message», he also writes there.
JBP[WSS] The ministerial trail of Elijah’s ministry will be repeated. And if it is repeated, it is no longer for the fourth time, but for the fifth time.
Now, the ministry of Elijah, notice here, the Holy Spirit crying out, speaking through Reverend William Branham, says ([JBP] now he turns to 166, paragraph 1485):
14857 – “6 Now, there’s…I was…getting pretty old (WSS), and I thought, ‘Will I…Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?’ And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”
[WSS] «We’ll ride this trail again», he writes there, above.
And on the right, upwards, in three lines:
[WSS] «The West:
Will come a Rider
On a white horse».
In the bottom part he writes:
[WSS] «The 7 angels came to the West (the occident) because the Coming of the Lord…».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] And now, for the triumphal entry into the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the spiritual Jerusalem, which has that promise, we will have a Rider who will be accompanied by Elijah…
[JBP] Now look, there, to go into the literal Jerusalem, on Mount Transfiguration were: Elijah and Moses, for the entrance into the literal Jerusalem. And for the spiritual Jerusalem, which is the Church of the Lord, notice, there is the promise that, in the fulfillment of that Rider of Revelation 19, the white horse Rider, Elijah comes in his fifth manifestation accompanied by the one of Moses and the one of Jesus.
[WSS] … and he says it won’t be ([JBP] hehe, he says) a Chinese person…
JBPWe call oranges “chinas.” When we go on a plane sometimes: “Can I have china juice?” And…: “(He’s asking us to squeeze out the juice of a person from over there.)” — “Oh, my! No, no, orange juice.” It’s because in Puerto Rico we call orange juice “china”.
We have to double check how it happened, but apparently it was…, or I vaguely remember that it’s because when the boxes arrived at the ports, and they came from… they brought the oranges in boxes, and “China” was written on the outside. We have to check, but I think it was because of that. And from that point on, they kept it as “china”; but we can verify that later, if it was like that.8
He says [“THE ENTRANCE OF JESUS CHRIST INTO JERUSALEM”]:
[WSS] … and he says it won’t be a Chinese person, he’s not going to come from China, nor is he going to come from India. It says: “He will come from the West.” That’s why in the dream that a person had about Reverend William Branham riding on a giant military horse, he was wearing western garb.
[JBP] And I already showed them to you. Hehehe! And here he is talking about that Rider, our brother William is speaking about him. Blessed be the Lord forever!
[WSS] See? All of that is a little light in one place, a little light in another place…
[JBP] And a light bulb has gone off here! Because he says it in the dream: “A little bit of light, a little here, a little there.” And we have the Light present here! The reality of those dreams, of those visions, of what Reverend William Branham foreran.
Today we have the reality! that we can talk, laugh, rejoice, embrace, greet each other, and say to one another: “God bless you!” Amen! Those who told me: “God bless you,” I said, “amen”. Amen! (Amen is ‘so be it.’)
May we be blessed this morning with all the blessings He has for the elect! Those who love His Coming, and those whom He loves. Who is that? You, and whom do you love? Me, too!
[WSS] All of that is a little light in one place, a little light in another place, and the light shines more and more for the knowledge of what we are promised to receive in the Last Day.
And now, there will also come a difficult time.
In the First Coming of Christ, which they were expecting, notice, it was a difficult time for Jesus and for His disciples. Don’t think that when God promises something and He does it, everybody is going to agree with God.
Some people may say: “If God were with these people, they wouldn’t have so many problems.” But look, they had a lot of problems: they were persecuted, people spoke badly about them, and so on; because the enemy, the devil, does not want God’s Program to be carried out.
“In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world,” says Jesus Christ9. In other words, He did not say that believers in Him were going to have an easy life, but a path of struggles, persecutions, problems.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Dr. JBP blows his nose constantly –Ed.I was saying… who did I tell yesterday - last night? It’s nice here to spend some days and have an unlimited service, because the place is very cozy. And since there is a place to stay (oh, look at Miguel there), since there is a place to stay, well, we’re right here; the place is good; and the audio is good as well, it sounds very good.
Now notice here… (That is why, if from time to time I sniff, it’s because… but we can control that [he shows his handkerchief]).
Look, on page 29 it says (I don’t know if Miguel has audio there…, perhaps now he does). It says; page 29 at the bottom says:
150 Closing, I’ll say this. I was reading a story some time ago, on a judge. He was a just man, a good man, was loved. And there was a bunch of people in the city that thought they could get by with anything, so, they had plenty, so they opened up a house of ill-fame, run a liquor store, liquor, everything like that. It was illegal. And they was caught by the law, the federal man, and was brought to court. And when all of the people of the city, the little city gathered in, they knowed this man had done a lot of things around there, the man that had run the ill-fame place ([JBP] meaning, that man made a lot good things, there in that town). And they—they, the jury, found the man guilty, ’cause he was caught openhanded. And so then the judge found him guilty ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Judge / Law», and sentenced then for so many years, without bond, without appeal or anything, he sent him, because that’s what the law read.
151 The people outside the court raced him ([JBP] to the judge), and said, “You know what? Every person in this town will hate you!” Said, “They hate you for making that decision on that man.” They was all gamblers, themselves. And said, “We—we’ll all hate you ([JBP] in other words, the judge). We’ll never elect you again. We’ll never be a one of us vote for you,” booing him as he went down the street ([JBP] they started booing him).
152 He stood just a minute, said, “Let me have a word.” He said, “I’ve done exactly what was my duty. The man was guilty, no matter who he was. And I had to sentence him according to the law that I swore I’d uphold.”
He said, “You’re hated in this town!”
153 He said, “But I’m loved greatly at home, by my people.”
JBP154 We might think the same thing, if you’ll pardon the expression. I’ve stood for what I have been saved to do, uphold this Word of God. I know the denominations hate me for the things that I say, but I’m greatly loved at His House, among His people.
JBP155 Lord Jesus, we may be hated by the world, but loved of the Father. Help us, dear God. Help these people, that each one of them, Lord, that Thy blessings will rest upon them. Let us go beyond the camp now. Let us go beyond our own thinking. Let us go by the thinking of God ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «God’s thought and not ours». And the Bible said this, “Let the mind that was in Christ be in you.” So let us think His thoughts, not our own thinking, because most the time we’re wrong. So, to be sure, let His mind rest in us ([JBP] Whose mind? The Mind of Christ). And His mind was to do the Father’s will, and the Father’s will is His promised Word.
JBPAnd he writes: [WSS] «The Father’s will».
156 Let us go beyond the camp, tonight, Lord, and find Jesus ([JBP] and he draws another Star of David on the left). We’ll never find Him by joining the church. We’ll never find Him by shaking hands with some minister, or—or signing some creed, or something that we promise, to go to Sunday school so many days out of the year, and so forth. We’ll only find Him in the Word ([JBP] and there on the right he draws another Star of David), because He is the Word.
157 And as we see this day promised, that He would be outside the camp, put out again; now let us go beyond the camp, ready to bear His reproach; hated of this world, but loved of the One Who has invited us to the Camp. Grant it, Lord.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] In other words, He did not say that believers in Him were going to have a an easy life, but a path of struggles, persecutions, problems.
He said, “If any man will follow after me, let him take up his cross and follow Me.”11 But that makes our faith more steadfast in Christ.
We have already seen that what has to do with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is linked to the West. And thank God we live in the West.
The Coming of the Son of Man, Christ says, will be like the lightning that comes out of the East and shines, is manifested, is revealed, in the West12.
The Light came out there in the First Coming of Christ in the East, the land of Israel; and in the West, in the evening time there will be Light; in other words, these are the two important key points.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*67 Now, the same sun that shines in the…rises in the East is the same sun that sets in the West. Now, let’s just stop a minute to background this message. We know that the sun, that’s s-u-n, the solar system. But the S-o-n of God came down, in the brilliance of God and the Light of God, in the East. And we’ve had two thousand years now, considered by the Lord, He said, “It’d be a time that wouldn’t be day nor night, just kind of a dismal day; but in the evening time it shall be Light.”
JBP68 Now, if you notice, the Holy Spirit fell on the Eastern people first. Then we’ve had a time of just church-joining and little ends to be picked up, and little causes to be fought for. But then in the evening time, on the Western hemisphere, it shall be Light ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «there shall be Light in the West, which is America». And we’re at that time now! Civilization’s come like a great rift from the East, picking up sin all the time as it come, and she’s hit the West Coast like a sound barrier, and she’s fallen back, and the most corruptible place that I know of is on the West Coast.
JBP[68] …and the most corruptible place that I know of is on the West Coast. Anything that you want to think of, they got it, sin, corruption, divorce, marrying, Hollywood, the very hole of hell!
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Now it’s in the West that the Light is shining to prepare us to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*59314 – “[518] There will come a Light, will rise.
519 Whereabouts, over in Jerusalem? No, sir. Evening Lights will not rise in Jerusalem. The evening Lights goes (where?) in the West. They had their day and refused It.
520 But the evening Light [WSS] «summer» shall rise in the West (what for?), to shine upon the Word (what?), to ripen the fruit, bring forth the Bride Tree with the same signs, wonders, and fruits that they had at the beginning.”
JBPAnd on the left he also writes upwards:
[WSS] «The Sun will ripen the grain in the West».
And above he also writes: [WSS] «The Light on the West».
[WSS] «A revival», he also writes there on top.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] There is a very [great] important promise for believers in Christ, which we find in… It says in the message “His Unfailing Words Of Promise,” preached on January 20th of 1964, in Phoenix, Arizona, the United States; he says on page 28:
[JBP] That is on page 120, that excerpt that he is reading to us, that he is going to read to us there: page 120, paragraph 1068 [Quotations]15. It says:
“138 Now, that great gift! Others I’ve tried to explain and say how it was done. This can’t be explained. Just wait. It will not be in operation so perfectly now. Wait till that Council of Churches brings on that [squeeze] persecution, that’s when it will happen.”
[JBP] Brother William says:
[WSS] Notice that a time of squeeze, of persecution, is going to come; but God will manifest Himself there, God will operate that gift in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit operating the Third Pull; the Third Pull by the spoken Word.
“[138] That’s the reason I come back among you, to pray for the sick. I have never had but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that hasn’t happened yet, that some sort of a building or a tent where there will be a little building setting and I’d have to go into that and pray for the sick. That hasn’t happened yet as far as I know. That’s the only thing that I know.”
JBP[WSS] «Elijah prays for the sick again».
And upwards he also writes:
[WSS] «The Tent and the little room».
And on top he writes: [WSS] «The Tent = is what hasn’t been fulfilled».
And he also writes: [WSS] «The persecution and the 3rd Pull».
JBP[WSS] It has not happened. It didn’t happen in the time of Reverend William Branham, but it will happen…
[JBP] See, it didn’t happen in the time of Dr. William Soto Santiago either, but notice, it’s happening; because the Third Pull, notice, is the Word, it’s the Rapturing Faith that God’s elect are receiving.
How was it with the faith to receive the theophanic body? It was by believing in the presence of the One who came to bring that promise: in Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter from Nazareth, a construction worker. What human mind could conceive that such a thing would come in a construction worker? That is, such a great promise… He says:
[WSS] …but it will happen, because he was transported to a place where there was a Great Tent Cathedral, and where there was preaching…
[JBP] Well, if “there was preaching,” there must be a preacher, psh! Yes, by… logically. And then when they get to that part, they say: “No, it’s because he’s coming back, he’s coming to…”
They will return, of course they will, and they will be with us again, in eternal and glorified bodies; but we will already be ready by then: with the Rapturing Faith, so that we can see them.
They cannot leave the ministries of Moses and Elijah out of the transformation. They cannot disconnect the Seventh Seal from the Tent; they can’t separate the ministries either.
[WSS] …but it will happen, because he was transported to a place where there was a Great Tent Cathedral, and where there was preaching and then prayer for the sick; and that’s where the power of God will be manifested, when the time of the squeeze comes. Before the time of the squeeze, we don’t know how everything will move…
[JBP] So, there will come a time when that part will come already, where that squeeze will be quite strong; but he says: [WSS] “We don’t know what will be going on before that”; and we are already getting to know what is happening before that moment: We are here today! On Sunday we are in Puebla.
Notice how things move before we reach that stage already; but in the meantime God is fulfilling a Work, which is the Work of the Seventh Seal, in that opening of the Seventh Seal, fulfilling what He promised in His Coming.
He says:
[WSS] Before the time of the squeeze, we don’t know how everything will move, but the culmination of everything will be that manifestation of the fullness of God in His Church.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*105416 – “[279] When the persecution comes, don’t get scared. There is a Light, said He would catch His people away. She’ll not go through the tribulation. She’ll never do it. He said She wouldn’t. She’ll be caught away.”
JBPHe writes there: [WSS] «A Light will rapture the elect = Christ in His », and he leaves it there.
He also writes: [WSS] «The squeeze».
And on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and arrows, that is, light rays on the Cornerstone.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] That is why that promise will be fulfilled somewhere. And that is why the believers of the Message of the Holy Spirit through Reverend William Branham, have always been anxious for the fulfillment of that vision to appear.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*141 But I’m trying to say, then when the Message begins to swing over them, they don’t want you. “You’re a crackpot! You’re a fanatic! You ought to have lived fifty years ago.” See? Oh, you might think that, “I wouldn’t have such as a pastor.” It’s your pastor, anyhow! Jezebel would never admit that that Elijah was her pastor, but he sure was. He certainly was. He was sent, an example, a messenger to the nation of Israel. And today the precious Holy Spirit and God’s Word is a Messenger to the church ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «The Holy Spirit is a Messenger to the Church», to straighten them out and to bring them back to the Word. We speak of It, but you see no one move. Uh-huh, see, we get those things so mixed up.
142 I heard someone, like in testimony, say, “‘Lift Him up,’ how do you lift Him up?” And, oh, just get little isms! Somebody said, “‘Watch and pray,’ that means keep one eye open when you pray, look with the other one. ‘Watch and pray.’” [He looks through one eye, with the other eye closed –Ed.] [Everyone laughs.]
JBPThere is a book which he talks about keeping your heads down, closing your eyes; not opening your eyes. He says: [WMB] “Cursed be the person that opens them,” or something like that. Look if in the book of Quotations, there is a writing that brother William writes there, I believe we have read it.18
That is, notice, everything has its explanation, its interpretation.
[142] (Why, watch means “watch for the coming of the Lord,” and pray up.) See, it’s just turning the thing around.
143 Therefore, in that, what do we do? We make up a little tradition of our own (and then if…) whether it’s God constructed or not. And we go out, the first thing you know, we’ve got a little group following us ([JBP] there he writes, on the left): [WSS] «watch and pray», and pulling them away from the main body of the church. That’s right. Instead of coming in and praying and solving the thing out, and let the body move on, we do those things whether it constructed or not. If you’ve got Truth, then stay with Truth. That’s exactly right. But let it be Bible Truth first!
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] They will be there, later on, the relevant ministries that the Holy Spirit will operate, the Angel of the Covenant will be there ([JBP] now, if the Holy Spirit will be operating those ministries of Moses and Elijah, then He must have a veil of flesh to operate those ministries), the Pillar of Fire will be there, the Angel that accompanied Reverend William Branham will also be there: the same Angel of the Covenant, the same Pillar of Fire that delivered the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt, and led them to the promised land through Moses.
We find that something major is fixing to happen. The Third Pull, where that which was seen in Reverend William Branham operated by the Holy Spirit in and partially, for a time, will be repeated in all its fullness when that squeeze comes; just like when, in the time of the apostles, squeezes came down on them: they prayed, the earth shook (in the book of Acts) and the Holy Spirit came, and more wonders and miracles took place, and more people came to the Feet of the Lord.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*3319 – “[60] Said: ‘Let’s see you break the bread then and feed the five thousand, and let me see you turn the water into wine.’
I said, ‘We are in our infancy. We are moving up. And quick as we get you bunch of formal fanatics out of the way, we’ll be doing that.’ (...) ‘If we can get you bunch of unbelievers out of the way…’”
JBPGod is not a God to please anyone, nor does He have to be doing things for people to believe.
The elect of God believes in the promised Word for that time in which God sends It! And the Word always comes veiled in what? In a man.
33 – “[60] ‘… bunch of unbelievers out of the way long enough to get God moving through the crowd ([JBP] meaning, quite far away, so that God then moves through the crowd), you’ll see such things take place. We’re just moving up. Look at the miracles that Jesus started the same way, moved right on up finally to the resurrection of the dead.’”
JBPAnd he writes there, on top: [WSS] «Miracles progressively».
And below he writes: [WSS] «Resurrection and The Tent».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Something great is on the way, from God. In the fulfillment of the Tent Vision is when Israel will say, “This is what we are waiting for. This is the One we are waiting for”…
[JBP] Well, if it’s “this One,” then the Church-Bride must have that instrument in Her midst, so that they can say: “This is the One. This is our Joseph.”
[WSS] Something great is on the way, from God.
[JBP] And he says:
[WSS] This is the One we are waiting for,” when they see Christ…
JBPToday in the prayer of the… or yesterday? Yesterday during the prayer at dinner, I almost spoke there, in that prayer, at the end, and I said “in the Eternal Name…,” and I was going to say it, and I felt like it was a heavenly language. They noticed, and I almos-: “Huh! What were you going to say there?” So, something is moving, and God stopped me there and I finished; it was before dinner, last night.
Now, let’s always be meditating and praying, because what we want is to leave from here. And everything must be given, but it has to be given at the right time. It can’t be hastened nor delayed. Therefore, we have to go at the right pace, so that everything is placed right!, and without fanaticism.
May God help us. He will help us. He is helping us and He will continue to help us.
[“THE ENTRANCE OF JESUS CHRIST TO JERUSALEM”]
[WSS] “This is the one we are waiting for,” when they see Christ coming for His Church. But He comes… He doesn’t come for the Jews, He comes for His Church. The Jews are going to wait a little bit more, but they will see Him coming for His Church; and they are going to approach.
So, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have what Israel is waiting for.
[JBP] Today you have Him here in San Juan Chamula!
And why is it being spoken so plainly now?
Look, so that you can see the meaning of what he says:
[WSS] So, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have what Israel is waiting for. Like what Israel had two thousand years ago: Jesus Christ…
[JBP] As simple as that.
[WSS] Like what Israel had two thousand years ago: Jesus Christ, that is what we received when we heard the Gospel of Christ and received Him as Savior: we received that blessing. And now we are waiting for His coming ([JBP] he says)...
[JBP] Oh, but if “we are waiting for His Coming”… And how would we be waiting for Him? He says:
[WSS] And now we are waiting for His Coming crying as when a lion roars and the seven thunders uttering their voices, and revealing to us the mystery contained under the Seventh Seal, the mystery of His Second Coming to His Church; and then to the Hebrew people.
JBPHe, in a writing of this study, down there… I don’t know if you can project that writing; if I send it here in…, can you… the picture? It’s a picture so that they can write it; otherwise I’ll read it and… it’s just a little long. But I’ll send it to you, to see if, while I read it you can put it there, on the… the screen. I don’t know if they’ll be able to see it well, but it will also be written in the Study, where he shows us… uhh… he tells us here, he shows us here. He says:
[WSS] «When the labor…».
JBPIn the fourth dimension, in the… there are some excerpts where he speaks about when the sound… there’s a delay; when, for example, something broadcasted to a place, let’s say, to Brazil, where it’s broadcasted and the signal goes up, and it’s seen over there, you notice that there’s a delay there.
That’s why sometimes when we switch from the broadcast of… (that Gerson sends, for example), where brother Miguel is, and they send the signal from Puerto Rico, it’s like it repeats again; and other times, it sort of comes in later; so…, let’s say that that time is the time in which that dimension, notice, it takes time to arrive, but the distance is very far.
Meaning, the same time that it takes for, now we say: “I’ll be there,” and I’m already there; and “I’ll be in Brazil,” and I’m there. But there’s a time there… There in one of the messages, he says that [WSS] “the person may arrive, and: ‘Well, wait a second,’”21 because it’s a few… let’s say, that space of… “I’m going,” well, in that time, he arrived there.
Soon we will be familiarizing ourselves with that, and may God help us to use all of that correctly. Those are treasures of the promised land, and they are fruits, which are truly good; and we will be using them more extensively at this time before the resurrection, to carry out the Work more quickly, because we already wish to leave from here.
Now look, he says:
[WSS] «When the labor (work) is done based around the Word promised for that time, it will be (it will be what?) prospered, it is made a reality, it materializes; and that Work is the [materialized] Word of God made a reality, brought to life. Make the Word of the hour».
Notice… [He repeats the between the line again –Ed.]
And today, notice, that Word of promise, where God is fulfilling the Scriptures, where the people who was watching and praying for that fulfillment, today is seeing that promise being fulfilled, being made a reality.
“WATCHING AND WORKING FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SCRIPTURES.”
Let’s stand and that way we are ready to see and hear this message on this occasion.
I don’t know if we have time for a song…; if you have it planned here, if you have a song prepared, one that we all know, we can sing; and then we can have this very important message.
Later on we will rebroadcast the activity at 6:00 pm Puerto Rico time, this activity, for all the brethren, the different countries that were not able to connect, well, we will be broadcasting it again.
Yes, which song is it?

JBP“WATCHING AND WORKING FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SCRIPTURES.”
Let’s thus leave with us right away, our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
