BIBLE STUDY #456 – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2024
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good afternoon to all the brethren gathered in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, together with Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin and all the ministers present, today, Friday, October 18th, of this year 2024.
For this occasion, our subject will be:
THE ORDER OF GOD’S ARMY
(Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, May 10, 2014
Lima, Peru
Scripture: Revelation 19:11-16
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And the Scripture that we have there, which our brother William used, was from the book of Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 and on, where it tells us:
Revelation 19:11
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[JBP] There on top he writes: [WSS] «Joshua 5:13-15».
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
THE ORDER OF GOD’S ARMY
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] It tells us in the message “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE,” which was preached by Dr. William Soto Santiago on Saturday, June 20, 2009, in São Paulo, Brazil, it says:
THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE
(Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, June 20, 2009
São Paulo, Brazil
Just like the First Coming and His crucifixion, whether they understood it or not, they were crucifying the Coming of the Lord; they were crucifying the Lord in His Coming. The Roman empire was the one that physically did it, at the request of leaders like the high priest (who was appointed by the roman empire) and some of the Sanhedrin Council.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In a writing, it tells us, here in a notebook, this writing of our brother William says:
[WSS] «For David’s son, Solomon, who had David’s promise to ascend to the Throne, which is forever, in which Christ as Son of David has the promise of heir to that Throne on which He will sit, but his path to the Throne has been difficult».
[JBP] And below he writes, he continues to write:
[WSS] «It cost Him: death on the Cross, losing all popularity, it cost Him being a man...».
[JBP] There it says: «disrespected»; it’s a word, but it’s… one can’t understand very clearly what he wrote, but…; because notice what he continues to say… Let’s say it’s “disrespected.”
[WSS] «… it cost Him being a man who was disrespected in the kingdom of the gentiles, represented in the statue or image that Nebuchadnezzar saw, and He was only known as Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth».
[JBP] Now notice, it cost Him… (it still goes on there; but let’s turn here for a moment), notice that it cost Him death on the Cross.
Now notice that so it will be the same for this end time in the fulfillment of His Coming: it will cost him his death; because notice, Revelation 11, there it shows us what will happen to that ministry. And also what was shown in the vision that a sister had…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s search in the book of Quotations for a moment. We still need to read further here in that writing; but let’s turn to the book of Quotations, on page… that is… on paragraph 1004. Let’s see there, it says… This is an excerpt from the message “SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON NOW,” on page 114; it says:
[63-1110M - “Souls That Are In Prison Now,” pp. 33-34. paras. 231-234] [Bible Study #229, 14/Aug/2022 (Sunday), pp. 23-25 / Bible Study #309, 21/May/2023 (Sunday), pp. 11-12 / Study “Identifying the fulfillment in the Scripture,” 4-2/May/2024 (Saturday), pp. 55-57]
1004 - “231 I know someday that’s going to cost me my life.”
[JBP] Remember that the ministry of Elijah is speaking there, which was being operated by the Holy Spirit in its fourth manifestation; and at the end time it is one of the Two Olive Trees in its fifth manifestation.
1004 - “231 That’s right. It’s going to, but here the Truth is being knowed. (...)
232 Just keeps dripping with blood! Yes, it’ll do it someday, but I’m waiting that hour when it’s finished.
233 Some sister just had a dream. She sent it to me, said, ‘I seen them, that church fixed a way,’ is going to kill me, secretly, sometime, I’m getting out of my car, ‘going in, be fired from…’ ([JBP] that’s where he also writes): [WSS] «explosion» but said, ‘then the Spirit said, “Not at this time ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «4th Elijah», but it’ll come later ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «5th Elijah. Rev. 11:…». ([JBP] 3 to 4, or 5 to 4).”’”
[JBP] Let’s see here for a moment because it’s a little bit…: it’s to 7, 3 to 7: [WSS] «Rev. 11:3-7» he writes above.
1004 - “234 God forbid that I compromise on anything. I know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. We’re living in a horrible day. Sin has did this. Yep. They—they stoned Stephen. They had John’s head cut off, she did. I don’t know how we’ll give ours, but it’ll be someday.”
[JBP] Above that he writes, that is, above the paragraph: [WSS] «Rev. 11:3-14».
And he writes: [WSS] «They will kill Elijah and Moses».
That didn’t happen in any of the messengers, nor did it happen under the ministry that God was operating, the Holy Spirit, bringing us the Good Tidings, in our brother William Soto Santiago.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice that here in this writing he tells us:
[WSS] «It cost Him: death on the Cross…».
[JBP] That is, that path to the Throne.
[WSS] «… losing all popularity».
Because, see, the way He was condemned, He was judged and all that, that was the worst they spoke of Him. To crucify Him, He had to go through a process that fulfilled the requirements so that the law at that time could be applied unfairly (because it was unfair), and so that by law they could accomplish the purposes that the devil was carrying out there through them; they were - those were the devil’s instruments.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There’s a place where he also wrote, referring to Judas, look, he wrote:
[WSS] «Judas sold the path to Christ».
In other words, he sold the place where he was; that is, he handed over, he turned in the disciples of Jesus. And he was being represented there… Notice that by him turning in and betraying the Master, and by charging for that, and when…, he even told them: “I will take you”; that was what he had done: he sold the path; in other words, he betrayed the path that later the sons and daughters of God would be receiving to obtain the new birth and thus obtain the theophanic body of the sixth dimension, Judas turned that in to the Council of the Sanhedrin and to everyone back there, those religious leaders [Matthew 26:14-16, Luke 22:3-6].
But notice, God’s sons and daughters under the Dispensation of Grace did not sell that path, rather they received that path as a treasure; and that path led them, that is, brought them back to the Father in the spiritual realm.
By the devil selling the path, it led him to hell.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, he goes on to say in this writing; I will repeat that part again, where he says:
[WSS] «It cost Him: death on the Cross, losing all popularity. It cost Him being a man who was disrespected (let’s say that’s the word he put there) in the kingdom of the gentiles, represented in the statue or image that Nebuchadnezzar saw, and He was only known as Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth».
[JBP] As we would say today: that he will only be known as, let’s say, “So-and-So, the carpenter from Cayey” (let’s say), see? We are already speaking plainly. Because notice that the whole content of the Seventh Seal…, well, and for those who have already mentioned it there and pronounced it, he would be known as: “Jose, the carpenter from Cayey.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] That is, notice that when the Seventh Seal is opened, we clearly see what It is, which, that Seal had not been opened, because that Seal would be opened right at the Coming of the Lord. Which he had said in the book of The Seals, where he shows us here on page 482 [p. 561 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], he says (at the bottom):
[398] See, Israel gathering in its own homeland. But, you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal.
399 And here, when the Seventh Seal, when He opened It, He also omitted It again, see. So we see that It is a complete mystery, therefore the hour is not yet for the mystery to be known. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time.
[JBP] See?
And there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow to the Cornerstone.
Because with the Coming of the Angel that was different from the rest, which is the Coming of the Seventh Seal on the Earth to gather His Bride, take His Bride, that is when that mystery of His Coming would be opened. He Himself would be opening that ministry; which comes with a New Name.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, he goes on to say here in the writing:
[WSS] «That is how it is for every angel messenger of each and every member of the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church, on the way to the Throne».
In other words, the Church goes through that same process as well.
And there on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
Later on we put this writing properly, so that in the draft it is placed there so that you have it.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look at what our brother William continues to tell us here. He says… we stopped where he has said [(MM) “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE”]:
[WSS] The Roman empire was the one that physically did it, at the request of leaders like the high priest (who was appointed by the roman empire) and some of the Sanhedrin Council.
Now, notice what God says to Moses:
“Get thee up into the top of Pisgah (that is, to that mountain), and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.”
Many will be seeing, like Moses saw, what the promised land will be…
[JBP] In other words, many will…, and those are the same ones from the Message, who will be seeing that whole manifestation where it was seen by Reverend William Branham, where God’s power was unlimited, where he says: [WMB] “What you have seen partially, you will see in the fullness of its power (he says) when the squeeze comes down.”*
*[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” pp. 5-6, paras. 38-39]
Now, meanwhile they may laugh and mock and all that; but once that time comes when they see that it was truly the Angel of the Covenant, the Pillar of Fire leading the people, then many will be like Moses.
And look, he says:
[WSS] Many will be seeing, like Moses saw, what the promised land will be, but they will not enter into it…
[JBP] Now, how will they see the promised land at this end time? Because they will be seeing sons and daughters of God with that power and that authority, and that is when they will say: “Give me some of that! I want it!” They will begin to knock at the Door, and the Door is Christ at His Coming. In other words, they will want some of that, because they know it was a promise given by God; just like Moses knew that there was going to be a land because that was the promise that He gave him: that there was a land flowing with milk and honey, and that they would go in; he knew all of that, but because he lost his love for the people…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, that was what he wrote here in this writing as well, where he put in writing there, it says:
[WSS] «Just as he was told not to go to Israel…».
He is speaking about brother Branham.
[WSS] «Just as he was told not to go to Israel, because it was not the time yet, he was also told that he had done what Moses had done: he lost his love, his feelings for the people of God, and Moses wasn’t able to enter the promised land; but Joshua [the Holy Spirit] brought the people into the promised land, and divided it among them».
[JBP] Notice that brother Branham was told that he had done what Moses did. And notice that Moses, by not crossing over to the promised land, and by him telling him that he had done what Moses did, he didn’t enter alive either, that is, he was not transformed, he didn’t receive the promised land of the new body alive.
Now notice, neither did those who have departed from all ages up to the time of brother Branham, nor those who have departed in our time, including Dr. William Soto Santiago, none of them obtained the eternal and glorified body alive.
Now, notice that there would be a ministry which would be the second man who, while he was alive, would be in the midst of His Church, with the ministries of Moses and Elijah being operated by the Holy Spirit, and that of Jesus; and he will give his life, because the same thing will be fulfilled like in the time of Jesus, where He said: “No man takes My life away from Me, I lay it down of Myself to take it again” [John 10:17-18]. That ministry is an adopted ministry; and it is the second time, it would be the second time that a man spends only three and a half days and then resurrects; notice, his body will not see corruption.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now [(MM) “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE”]:
[WSS] Many will be seeing, like Moses saw, what the promised land will be, but they will not enter into it; that is, all those who will be rising up against the Coming of the Lord at the Last Day.
[JBP] As simple as that.
In other words, everyone who is against the Coming of the Lord, against the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord at this end time and who has believed in the Message, and is in the Message and says that he has the Message, but is against the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord, they will be like Moses, typified in Moses, who saw it from a distance.
Many will see those elect of God with those eternal and glorified bodies, and they will want to…: “Give me some of that! I want it! How did you do it? How? What happened? Why not me, if I also believed the Message!” That is the greatest sadness that any person at this time will be feeling in his heart and soul; and they will say to him: “The rapture has already taken place.”
Because then they’re going to start seeking to obtain that, they’re going to start searching: “Let’s see where we can find something that gives us a clue, let’s see.” God will already take His Bride, and when He sees the judgments:
—“But, but wait, wasn’t there supposed to be a rapture? What are we doing here receiving those divine judgments?”
—“That has already happened.”
In other words, it is going to be during a time of confusion even for those from the Message; but they will obtain strength and God will help them so that they give their lives in the great tribulation; and after the Millennium, then they will go through that judgment where, if they come out well, they will go into eternity.
Now he continues saying here [(MM) “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE”]:
[WSS] [And] Even the beast and the false prophet, the antichrist, are going to rise up against the Coming of the Lord and fight against the Lord in His Coming; but the Scripture says that the antichrist and all his army will be defeated.
It goes on to say…
[JBP] In other words, “it goes on to say,” he is reading the Scripture there that we read, which brother William quoted, about Moses, where He told him to go up to the top of Pisgah to see the promised land, and He told him: “Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.”
And it goes on to say:
“But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him (that is, by speaking to him, encouraging him): for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.”
[JBP] Now look at the writing that he had - that we had read a few minutes ago, where he says that [WSS] «but Joshua brought the people into the promised land, and divided it among them». In other words, God still fulfilled His promise to bring the people that He delivered into the promised land which He had promised them, but by using another instrument, another veil of flesh.
Now, brother William says:
[WSS] Some people, when they lose a position and they know that someone else is going to occupy it, they start criticizing that other person, and try to make his life difficult so that he is not placed in that position; and the saying is fulfilled in that person, that “they neither eat nor let others eat,” similar to the saying that Jesus said: “You neither go into the Kingdom, nor let those who want to enter go in.” [Matthew 23:13]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] We read that in one occasion from the message “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP”; on page 41 it tells us, at the bottom, it says:
[65-1128M - “God’s Only Provided Place Of Worship,” p. 36, para. 271] [Bible Study #341, 10/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 25-26]
271 Moses was in Him. Joshua was in Him. And if you are in Him, you was in Him before the foundation of the world, the family of God; you suffered with Him, you died with Him, you went to the cross with Him, you raised with Him; and now you’re still with Him, setting in Heavenly places, reflecting the Message of the age to the world, the Light of the world.
[JBP] Now look, in the First Coming of the Lord, He ascended to Heaven and sat at the right hand of the Father; and notice that all who received that Work in His First Coming were seated in heavenly places, because we were with Him the whole time.
Now, notice that to be seated with Him on the Throne of David, we must be with Him the whole way: in his birth, in his trajectory, in everything that is happening and everything that will happen; we will be identified in that ministry, so that it is physically fulfilled on Earth that we will sit with Him in the Millennial Kingdom, on the Throne of David.
See? How everything is parallel: Back in the time of Jesus it was in the spiritual realm. Today it is in the physical realm.
‘If we suffer with Him, we shall reign with Him.” [2 Timothy 2:12] In other words, everything is fulfilled, because the Scriptures have multiple fulfilments and multiple revelations as well, which we will be speaking about more openly on Sunday, in the Sunday’s message.
Now see, he goes on to say:
[271] “Ye are the Light of the world,” but if it’s hid by a denominational bushel basket, how are they going to see It? For your traditions, you make the Light of no effect! By trying…You denominationals, trying to keep the Light away from your church; you won’t go in, neither will you let them.
[JBP] Now looks, these are hard words here from brother Branham but it’s nothing but the truth.
He writes on the front: [WSS] «You don’t go in, nor do you let others go in».
And there he also writes above: [WSS] «The Door» (that is, to the door).
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice also here in this writing where brother William left us in a notebook, he writes there:
[WSS] «Abraham had a smile of faith in his heart, Sarah had a smile [laughter]of unbelief in her heart. I may have treated Sarah, Abraham’s wife, very harshly, but I want to say that what I condemned was her unbelief; as Jesus condemned in Thomas, in those who came from Emmaus and the other apostles who didn’t believe the good news of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, which was a biblical prophetic promise of the Old Testament; and then Jesus had promised it when He said that He would be crucified but after three days He would resurrect».
And he continues saying:
[WSS] «“Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” And the people thought He was speaking about Solomon’s restored temple, but He was speaking about His body, which was His human temple».
And he continues…, this is almost a message:
[WSS] «The ones who criticized Jesus were the unbelievers to God’s promises for that time being fulfilled in Jesus, and they had a laugh and a smile, it was the impression or an expression of their soul’s unbelief».
[JBP] How many have laughed at this time? And they mock, and they laugh, as if to say: “Hehe, who does this guy think he is? Look!” That’s exactly how it happened in the First Coming of the Lord.
Now look, he continues to say:
[WSS] «… it was the unbelief expressed that way.
There are many ways or mechanisms to express the unbelief or the faith that is in the person’s soul regarding the fulfillment of what God promised for that time».
And he continues:
[WSS] «Example of unbelief: in the time of John the B. (John, and writes the “B” abbreviated) and Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said: “The publicans and the harlots go in the and to the Kingdom before you, because John B. (that is, John the Baptist) came baptizing, and they repented, and were baptized by John and you were not. John B. (the Baptist) came, neither eating nor drinking like other men, and you say: ‘He has devils’ (meaning, he is a madman, demon possessed)”».
[JBP] Notice the same thing that happened with the manifestation of the fourth Elijah in Reverend William Branham, he was a man who, since he was a little boy, the Angel said to him: [WMB] “You will not smoke, you will not drink wine nor strong drink, nor… that is, you won’t drink alcohol,”* and… (just like John) and the Christian world or most people said that he was a madman, some even said that he had devils too. The same thing that happened with John the Baptist.
*[Study “The forerunner of the coming Word,” 6/Apr/2024 (Saturday), pp. 14-15: 59-0419A - “My Life Story,” p. 12, paras. 67-68]
Now brother William continues saying…
Where it says: [WSS] «(meaning, he is a madman, demon possessed)», he puts that in parentheses.
And he continues saying:
[WSS] «“And the Son of Man comes, eating and drinking, and you say: ‘This is a gluttonous man and a wine drinker and a friend of publicans and harlots’”».
[JBP] Now notice, there’s no pleasing people.
But God fulfills His promise; that is, the prophecies and what He has spoken through the prophets that would be the fulfillment of what He promised, He fulfills it the way He has already planned and as it has already been determined by Him, whether people like it or not, He is always going to fulfill it. Not everyone will agree, but that is why there is predestination and divine election.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice also in this message “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE…” or “GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE.” A few minutes ago we read “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP;” and now in the message “GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP,” on page… (let’s see here), on page 20, at the bottom, it says:
[65-0220 - “God’s Chosen Place Of Worship,” pp. 22-24, paras. 107-113]
[107] Malachi 3 said, “I’ll send My messenger before My face to prepare the way.” And the one that was sent to prepare the way, identified Him, the place. “That’s Him! There’s no mistake. That’s Him! I see the sign following Him. I know that that’s Him; a Light coming down from Heaven and going upon Him.” It was positive, that was Him.
[Study “The Teaching for the Adoption of the Church at the Last Day,” 6/May/2023 (Saturday), pp. 72-73 (PARAS. 108-109)]
108 Then, my brother, I want to ask you something, in closing. We might say this. In Malachi 4, aren’t we also promised another eagle, a Pillar of Light to be following, to show the erring church this day that He is Hebrews 13:8, “the same yesterday, today, and forever”? Aren’t we promised another one to come flying from the wilderness? ([JBP] There on the right he writes): [WSS] «eagle» Amen! That’s exactly the Truth. How fitting and matching it is to Luke 17:30, where the Son of man (Eagle) will be revealing Himself to bring to naught all other worship places ([JBP] and there on the left he draws a stone and the ages, and the arrow towards the bottom part and towards the Cornerstone), such as denominations and so forth!
God chose His place. John said, “There It is!”
109 And then we’re promised the same thing in this day, Malachi 4, “To turn the hearts of the children back,” to say that He is not dead, these things are not for another age; baptism in Jesus’ Name was not for back there, but He is now the same. Amen. To bring to naught all other places of worship, that’s what the last-day eagle is to do ([JBP] there on the left he writes): [WSS] «to bring to naught all other places of worship» ([JBP] and on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages), to show that all the rest of it is foolishness, denomination is folly, but to point them again with the same sign that He did, that He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hallelujah!
110 Also, in Revelation 4:7, we had four Beasts that we’ve just been through with.
The first one was, we found out…find out, was the lion ([JBP] and he writes on the right): [WSS] «Lion of Judah». That was the first Beast that went forth to meet the challenge of that day, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
After Him come the next Beast. And we find out, the next Beast was an ox ([JBP] and he writes on the right): [WSS] «ox», which is a beast of burden, a sacrifice. In the days of the Roman cathedral, the Church died out; sacrifice.
The next come, was a man, was a Beast with a face of a man ([JBP] and he writes on the right): [WSS] «man». And that man was the reformers, man’s education, theology, and so forth.
But the last Beast that was to fly, the last Beast that was to come, the Bible said it was a flying eagle. Hallelujah! ([JBP] And he writes on the right): [WSS] «eagle». And the prophet said, in this day, “It shall be Light.” Oh, my! “In that day there will be Light.”
111 There is been a day of reformers. There is been a day that’s just a shadow, can’t call day or night. But in the evening time, in the Eagle time:
It shall be Light about Eagle time
([JBP] there he begins to sing this…),
The path to Glory you will surely find;
In the water way is the Light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus.
Young and old, repent of all your sins,
The Holy Ghost will surely baptize you in;
For the evening Lights have come,
It is a fact that God and Christ are One.
[JBP] And brother William writes on the right: [WSS] «The place to worship today».
[JBP] And brother Branham continues saying:
112 Amen! It shall be Light about the evening time ([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone and the gap), God’s only chosen place to worship. Oh, what’s this Message come to, what is He going to do? And in His day it shall be Light at the evening time, and (what?) to welcome His children back home to the true promised Land, by the same sign of the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel through the wilderness.
God’s chosen place to worship, Jesus Christ. That’s the only place there is. That’s the only Name God has for salvation. That’s what He has named the family in Heaven, when it’s on earth, is Jesus Christ.
113 O church, O people, sinner friend, don’t trust in nothing else but Jesus Christ. Don’t trust in any preacher. Don’t trust in anybody else to save you. Trust not in any church, any creed, any denomination. Trust only in Jesus Christ, for He is the Light of the hour.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «The Light of the hour is the place of worship».
[JBP] For the Dispensation of Grace it was Jesus, for the Dispensation of the Kingdom, notice, it is in His final manifestation, which comes with a New Name.
Now look, in the Dispensation of the Law He is as Father, in the Dispensation of Grace He is as Son, and in the Dispensation of the Kingdom He is as Holy Spirit.
And in the Dispensation of the Law, notice: Lord. In the Dispensation of Grace He had a name: Jesus; now He is the Anointed One, in other words, the Christ. And in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, well, He comes with a New Name.
We are going to start seeing this more clearly; we touched on something now but we will be seeing it more clearly as this great mystery opens more and more; which, in the First Coming of the Lord it was opened clearly on the Day of Pentecost, when He said: “God has made Jesus Lord and Christ.” [Acts 2:36]
But notice, if He was “the Father” in the Dispensation of Law, “the Lord” in the Dispensation of Grace, how will He be in the Dispensation of the Kingdom?
And notice that in the Dispensation of the Law, He was manifested or manifesting Himself as Father, but notice that in the Dispensation of Grace, by the Son coming, the Name had to come in that Son.
Now let’s also see a place here, where…, since we touched on something here. In this same message there is a place here (let’s see)… In a writing he had several notes there, where, in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, He has three names there, in other words, the Holy Spirit.
Notice that He is the Christ, because God has made Jesus: Lord and Christ; but notice that in the Dispensation of the Kingdom He is also the Christ. But notice that those names that are placed there mean the same thing: Messiah, Anointed One, Christ, it’s the same thing.
Now, if He made Him Lord, because He was Father of the Dispensation of the Law; now in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, when He came in the Dispensation of Grace with the name Jesus, in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, well, He comes with that Name that only He understands.
Now, let’s read a little more here, where I told you we’d read, on page… Let’s see here if it’s the message “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP,” where he says there…, page 32, at the bottom, says:
[65-1128M - “God’s Only Provided Place Of Worship,” p. 28, paras. 211-214] [Bible Study #379, 21-2/Jan/2024 (Sunday), pp. 25-26]
211 “Oh,” you say, “now wait a minute, Brother Branham. That was the Son, not the Father.”
212 The son always takes the name of his father in every case. I come to this earth in the name of a Branham because my father’s name was Branham.
[JBP] He says: [WSS] «Every son comes in the name of his father».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look in some drawings that he made here on a Bible study, he puts the Cornerstone and the bottom part.
And on the base he puts: [WSS] «Peter, James, John»; then on the first age he writes: [WSS] «Paul»; and from there to the seventh age he doesn’t write anything (well, we already know the messengers).
On the seventh age, he writes: [WSS] «W.M.B.» that is, William Marrion Branham, messenger of the seventh age.
And above on the Cornerstone he writes [WSS] «YHWH».
Now, he writes there several Scriptures as well: [WSS] «Rev. 2:7, 3:12».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And notice, in this other one too, another writing, where he also draws, in this Bible study, he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and he does write them all below: [WSS] «Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley, William Branham».
And above, on the Cornerstone, he makes a question mark: [WSS] «??», for a question, two question marks, above.
And in the book of The Seals there is also a place where he writes: [WSS] «Lutherans, Wesleyans, Branhamites», and above: [WSS] «YHWH».
In other words, the ones who are identified by the name Branhamites or Branham, those belong to the seventh age; and the ones of the Cornerstone, well, those are the ones who belong to the New Name of the Lord.
Now, notice, he says here [“GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP”]:
213 Jesus said, “I came in My Father’s Name, and you receive Me not.” You want the Scripture on that? Saint John 5:43. See? “I—I came in My Father’s Name, and you receive Me not.” Then the Father put His Own Name, which is “Jesus,” in the Son. And He’s the Way, He’s the Door, He’s the House, He’s where God chose to put His Name. God never put His Name in me, He never put It in the church, He never put It in the Methodist, Baptist, Catholic ([JBP] See? He never put it in the Lutherans, Wesleyan. Are you understanding now?), but He put It in Christ the Anointed Emmanuel.
[JBP] In other words, in the manifestation of the Word, that is where God put His Name in His First Coming.
And the Name is put in the Most Holy Place, it is not put in an age; and if it is a New Name, it cannot be a man that was already used.
214 And the Name is in the Word because He is the Word.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, if the Name is in the Word… That’s what he tells us on page 256 [p. 295 in Eng. (Fourth Seal)], of the book of The Seals, where he tells us:
196 But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word ([JBP] there It is) of God incarnate in a Man.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «The Theophany, the Word, the Angel».
[JBP] The Angel of the Covenant became flesh in the First Coming of the Lord and was known by the name of Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth.
In His Second Coming, the Word comes, the Pillar of Fire; which Reverend William Branham saw speaking to someone above where he was, and he saw that It rested there. And then when he comes down and sees everything, the very first thing that the Angel says to him: [WMB] “Do you remember the Name you were hunting for when you dreamed of it?”*, he was looking for that Name, because that Name is none other than the New Name of the Lord.
*[56-0219 - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” p. 8, para. 24]
No other name is more glorious or greater than that Name; which the Bride of this time will be called, the New Jerusalem.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he says [“GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP”]:
214 And the Name is in the Word because He is the Word. Amen! What is He then? The Word interpreted is the manifestation of the Name of God. ([JBP] Hah!) No wonder. “Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in Heaven has revealed this to you, Who I am. And upon this rock I’ll build My place of worship, and the gates of hell can’t shake It down.”
[JBP] Now (notice) that revelation was built upon who Jesus was in His First Coming; place of worship, where we entered the Most Holy Place of the spiritual temple under that path, which we did not sell, but instead held on to and embraced, we believed in it and it led us to the Father. Another (Judas) sold the path and it led him to hell.
Now, at this end time some will sell the path, they will betray the path and it will lead them to the fifth dimension which will be fully opening on this planet Earth, which, they will go in alive, just like back in the days of Moses they went into hell alive: Dathan and Abiram and Korah, and all the - their company. Likewise, they will enter into the great tribulation alive.
It says that death…: “They shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” [Revelation 9:6] In other words, they will try to commit suicide; and perhaps when they harm themselves, they will suffer even more, because they won’t be able to die and they will have all the sorrow and all the plagues and things that are falling, in addition to what they inflict on themselves, the wounds that they cause, they will also suffer from those wounds and they won’t be able to die.
In other words, what will be happening to those people in the great tribulation will be something terrible, it says that death will flee from them, they will seek death, how? Well, by trying to kill themselves; because the great tribulation will be unbearable; but they won’t be able to, because where are they going to go if they are there in the dimension?
Now notice that this will be later on, because…; in other words, at that time, the 144,000 and the foolish, God will have already taken them, He will allow them to be killed, and by that time they won’t be in the great tribulation.
Now he continues saying:
[214] “And upon this rock I’ll build My place of worship, and the gates of hell can’t shake It down.”
[JBP] There he writes in the form of a question: [WSS] «Who is the Son of Man today?».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say, here where we stopped, where he says [(MM) “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE”]:
[WSS] You neither go into the Kingdom, nor let those who want to enter go in.” [Matthew 23:13]
The typical case is Saul: who was made king, did not fulfill what God commanded him, was rejected by God [1 Samuel 15:1-28]; and then found out that God had chosen someone else, and waged war against that person and sought him to kill him; instead of saying that God had already rejected him and now He had chosen someone else: David; and he should have said to him:
“You are my son-in-law; you killed Goliath, and the promise was that I would give that person my daughter as wife; so the kingdom stays in the family. I am going to help you with everything, and I am going to work so that all the people accept you as soon as possible and you occupy the throne; and I will retire and become your adviser.” That would have been nicer ([JBP] brother William says).
Now, see, God tells Moses what he has to do with his successor: “Encourage him; speak to him; treat him well, strengthen him; tell him that he will always have [the] victory, that God will be with him.” And that is what Moses did with Joshua…
[JBP] Now notice, it’s so nice when that instrument hears words of encouragement from a minister or from the people of God, strengthening words!, telling him: “Keep going! You are going to obtain the victory with the people. Don’t be dismayed!” See? Those are comforting words, those are words of encouragement.
Now, on the other hand, that instrument may hear words of discouragement, hurtful words, slander, (because how many have arisen! And there are more left); but with the strength of the people and with the help of God, that messenger will reach the end and will obtain the victory with the people!
In other words, the elect will never leave that ministry alone, what happened in the First Coming of the Lord will not happen, when He told them: “I will smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered abroad.” [Matthew 26:31, Mark 14:27] At this end time there is a full and open knowledge of everything that will be happening and they will be hand in hand with that ministry, no matter what happens.
[WSS] And that is what Moses did with Joshua, meaning, with Oshea the son of Nun; and he called his name Joshua [Numbers 13:16], which means ‘Savior,’ ‘Redeemer.’
[JBP] Now, in this message, further on, he says:
[WSS] (...) Meaning, the same thing that the Father did with Jesus, Christ will do with the Overcomer.
For God to do what He did with Jesus, He had to be anointed, the One anointed with the Holy Spirit. And now for Jesus to do that with the Overcomer, it must be with the One anointed by Christ in Holy Spirit; and he must, God must place in him, what Revelation says.
What I told you about: ‘[To] him that overcometh shall sit with me, will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne,’ that is in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 21.
But now notice here what it says in Revelation, chapter 2; and this Scripture must be fulfilled at this end time. Chapter 2, verse 17, says:
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
The Message of Revelation is the Voice of the Holy Spirit speaking from age to age; therefore, it is the revelation of Christ; Christ revealing Himself in the midst of His Church through the messenger of each age.
And the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ brings that revelation for each age; and we won’t explain the mechanism too much there.
[JBP] Because there is a mechanism in all that. But everything is simple.
[WSS] Now, he says:
“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
[And] Now, it does not say “[and] those who receive it,” but “[to] he that receives it.” He says He is going to give him a white Stone; that is the white Stone cut out with hands, which is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit.
The Name of God was placed in the Angel of the Covenant, which is Christ in His heavenly body; then it was placed in the veil of flesh. But now Christ says that He will give Him a white Stone; and in It, a new name that no one knows.
Everyone knows the name Jesus, and in Hebrew: Yeshua.
But now he says that it is a new name that no one knows; and if no one knows It, he says that the one who will receive It will know It: “No one knows It but he who receives It.” Therefore, the one who receives It will be the One anointed by Christ, by the Holy Spirit.
And now, let’s go to Revelation, chapter 3, verse 12, where it says:
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God…”
In other words, a very important person in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and also in the heavenly Temple, because he belongs to the Order of Melchisedec; he is a very important Priest in that Temple.
Just as Christ is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple; He is the Melchizedek who appeared to Abraham, and appeared in His heavenly body; but He is in Heaven with His glorified physical body.
“…and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God…”
This is the promise for the second man who will have the Name of God…
[JBP] The what? The second man. It cannot be in a messenger that later came in another: that would already be the third. In other words, he is the second man, that is, the only one who will have that Name.
In plain words: the last messenger, the Benjamin of the prophets, is the only one who has that Name.
[WSS] … a man who will be on Earth at the end time. But before, just as Jesus in His heavenly body had the Name of God, that person in His heavenly body will have that Name; and we don’t know for how many years, millennia, millions of years, or eternally.
Here it says the Holy Spirit —which is Christ in the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, where the Name of God is—, it says that He is going to write the Name of God in that person, in the Overcomer.
[JBP] And he continues to quote the Scripture:
“…and the name of the city of my God…”
In other words, that City will be known by the Name of God, of the City of our God. And right now we are going to see something else in that Name. Ezekiel, chapter 48, verse 35, it says:
“It was round about eighteen thousand measures (he is speaking about the city of Jerusalem): and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.”
And Jehovah-shammah means ‘Jehovah (or God) is present.’
The Name that God has present in the midst of the Hebrew people, which will be physically manifested in the midst of the Hebrew people, that Name that the presence of God has there, will also be the Name of the City; and that will be the Name of the One who will be adopted, of the Anointed One of God.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look at what we read a few Studies ago*, from a study where we put the Scripture of Isaiah 52 verse 6, where it says:
*[Bible Study #455, 13-2/Oct/2024 (Sunday)]
Isaiah 52:6
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «He will be in the Messiah, in his body of flesh».
And he draws above a Cornerstone, and he writes: [WSS] «In a Tent Cathedral: Most Holy Place today. YHWH».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues saying [(MM) “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE”]:
[WSS] [And] Now, let’s continue reading:
“…and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
And Christ in the Holy Spirit says that, the Angel of the Covenant; and if He says that He will write the Name of our God, the Name of the City of our God, and His New Name, that’s how He will fulfill it.
And He will write It upon the Overcomer, who will be the messenger that God has for the time of the adoption, of the physical redemption of God’s elect; which will happen after the seven Church ages, it will happen in the Age of the Cornerstone.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There is a writing that he also wrote about the years of each age, and he…, and that was in 2009 I think it was; let’s see the - that study.
And remember that in 2009 he had said that [WSS] “the half hour of silence had not begun yet (he says) but it will begin.”* So, in 2009 he is still saying there that it had not begun yet, that it would begin, he was saying there that we were still living under the Dispensation of Grace.
*[2009-10-11 “Being blessed with the fulfillment of the half hour of silence in Heaven” [p. 23]: [WSS] Therefore, for this end time the promise is that we will be blessed with the fulfillment of the half hour of silence in Heaven, we will be blessed with the whole mystery that causes silence in Heaven for about half an hour. That silence in Heaven has not happened yet, but it is going to happen. / Bible Study #230, 19/Aug/2022 (Friday), p. 31]
Now look, in this Bible study, he writes down there, from 1 to 7, and he writes:
[WSS] «Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Earth, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea», and on the side: [WSS] «Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Luther, Wesley, W.M.B.»; and he writes the years next to it.
And in the Laodicean part he writes: [WSS] «1906 – ??», that is, two question marks.
[JBP] Now, notice that under the Dispensation of Grace that time was extended, where he had predicted that in 1977 - brother Branham predicted that in 1977 was the end of the Church and the ushering in of the Millenium, the introduction to the Millennium.*
*[The Ages, p. __, ; p. __]
Now, notice how from the call for someone to come forward to take the Book until that act, that Work, that labor, was carried out, there was a waiting time, during which John wept a lot.
But notice, in that time, God was carrying out the construction of the Most Holy Place out of living stones, for that place to be built so that the presence of God could enter and those sons and daughters of God could be placed there, those living stones, and so that God could place His Name in Her midst.
Now, notice that in 2018 people were still being baptized and everything pertaining to the Dispensation of Grace was being carried out. Therefore, we can start seeing that date more clearly in reality already, not in what would be a type and figure of what would be the end of the Dispensation of Grace at this end time.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say [(MM) “THE ADOPTION OF THE ANOINTED ONE”]:
[WSS] That is the age of the adoption, the age for redemption, the age for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.
That is why Christ said in John, chapter 6, verses 39 to 40:
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”
[JBP] At the Last Day is when all these promises under the Dispensation of the Kingdom would be taking place, such as the resurrection and the transformation of our bodies; because He said that “the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God (and he writes): [WSS] «in flesh»* and they shall rise.”
*[John 5:25] [Study “In the Third Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), pp. __ / Study “Eating of the Tree of Live in the First and Second Coming,” 16/Oct/2023 (Monday), p. __: [WSS] «of the Holy Spirit in flesh»]
That didn’t happen in any of the ages, nor in the time of William Soto Santiago, but it will take place at this end time, when the Voice of God through the last dispensational prophet messenger, who is in the midst of His Church, will be making known everything relevant, both for those that will be transformed and for those who will resurrect.
It is the Voice of God speaking at this end time, bringing the Rapturing Faith to all the elect, sons and daughters of God who have come up to the Age of the Cornerstone, to this Dispensation of the Kingdom.
We have seen “THE ORDER OF GOD’S ARMY,” which we were seeing in a few places. And we hope to continue expanding on all these things that we have spoken today; and may God continue to open our understanding, open the Scriptures to us, so that we understand all the great things that God is fulfilling in the midst of the Church; which is what the prophets spoke, what Reverend William Branham spoke.
And what is being seen today is the fulfillment of all those Good Tidings that Dr. William Soto Santiago brought us, where he was bringing us all those news, where he told us then, in 2016, at the end: [WSS] “I have been sent from the presence of God to bring these news, these Good Tidings; and the faster I give them, the faster I can leave.”* Notice, and he gave them and he left, and the Church-Bride must look and see where the Pillar of Fire is fulfilling what was promised.
*[Volume “The Restoration of the Kingdom of Israel” – Closing of World Congress of Rabbis: For a better world and the 7 precepts of Noah, pp. 310-311 / Study “The time of the half hour of silence in Heaven,” 30-2/Aug/2023 (Wednesday), pp. 7-8]
Many have already seen It, many are already seeing the Pillar of Fire work in the midst of the Latin American and Caribbean people. If you have not yet seen It: may God open your understanding, open the Scriptures to you; and may you hear only one Voice, which tells you: “Come up hither! You are not a rooster or a chicken. You are an eagle! Flap your wings and come up to the Age of the Cornerstone, to the Dispensation of the Kingdom; so that you are then in that order of God’s Army, so that you are placed in the position where you belong.”
“THE ORDER OF GOD’S ARMY.”
Let’s stand and thus leave in this subject “THE ORDER OF GOD’S ARMY” our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
