Third activity
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Thank you very much, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, may God continue to bless you greatly there in San Luis Potosi, in the congregation that Reverend Benjamin Vargas pastors; and to everyone who is connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite on this occasion, and also those who are present here today, Sunday, October 27 of this year 2024.
The subject that we have for today is:
AT EVENING TIME IT SHALL BE LIGHT
(Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, May 23, 2009
Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Scripture: Zechariah 14:1-9 / Malachi 4:1-6
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s search in Zechariah, chapter 14, verse 1 and on, which was one of the Scriptures that Dr. William Soto Santiago read to us here in this message, where it tells us:
Zechariah 14:1
1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
[JBP] There on the left he writes: [WSS] «Daniel 12:1».
And in this one he draws a Star of David on the left.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
[JBP] There on verse 2, there he also draws a Star of David on the left here.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
[JBP] There he also draws a Star of David on the left.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
[JBP] There he writes here, after “all the saints” he writes:
[WSS] «Rev. 19:11-21, 17:14».
On verse 4, there on the left he also writes here:
[WSS] «The Gospel to the gentiles and to the Jews» (on verse 4).
[WSS] «The Gospel to the gentiles and to the Jews».
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Malachi 4:5-6».
And he writes: [WSS] «The evening of: Laodicea, the Dispensation of Grace».
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
[JBP] There at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «The Gospel to the Jews and the gentiles».
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
AT EVENING TIME IT SHALL BE LIGHT
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations, on page 68, in paragraph 590, it tells us:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 63-64, para. 496]
590 – “496 And what’s the evening Light come out for? What is the evening Light for? To restore. Whew! You get it? The evening Light is for the same purpose the morning Light was for, to restore what was cut down by the Dark Ages, through Rome. God is going to restore, by shining forth the evening Light (what?), restore the whole Word of God again, the full manifestation of Christ in His Church. Everything that He did, just exactly the way He did, it would be again in the evening Light ([JBP] on the left there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, the seventh age divided there). See what I mean? Oh, isn’t that wonderful? And to know we’re living right here to see It now, the evening Light, exactly according to prophecy. The evening Light come out to restore what? To restore what the bugs had eat up.”
[JBP] And on the right he writes: [WSS] «The evening Light».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now let’s turn there to Joel…, chapter 2, verse 18, it says:
Joel 2:18
18 Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army ([JBP] and there on the left he writes): [WSS] «Rome, Russia», and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
[JBP] Here, in this Bible, see, on verse 18 where we started there on the left, he drew a Star of David, and above that he wrote: [WSS] «Rev. 1; Is. 59:20, Rom. 11:26».
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
[JBP] And there on the right he draws a Star of David.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
[JBP] And on the right here, he draws a Star of David.
And on the left over here, he writes on that 23rd verse:
[WSS] «Rev. 14:1-5, 7:2-5, 11:3-14, 22:6, 22:16, 4:1, 19:1-10».
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
[JBP] On the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
[JBP] There on the right he writes:
[WSS] «Gentile Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greece, Rome empire».
In other words, those four stages.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice here in this subject: “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH,” which was preached on August 3, 2012, and it was also in Cali, Colombia, he tells us:
THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH
(Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, August 3rd, 2012
Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
When the Church-Bride recognizes Her place, Her position… Her position where? in the Mystical Body of Christ, when She recognizes which age or stage She is in.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On 37 of this book of Quotations it tells us, in paragraph 306, it says:
[60-0518 - “Adoption #2,” p. 37, para. 205] [Bible Study #342, 15/Sep/2023 (Friday), pp. 38-39 / Study “The Adoption at the Summit,” 15/June/2024 (Saturday), pp. 9-11]
306 - “[205] God can take a man and adopt him into the family, and give him something. That, first, try that and see if its right. The Bible said try the spirit. This man claims a certain thing ([JBP] and he writes on the left): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah», try it and see if it’s right. If it’s as right, move right with it. Then say, ‘Lord, send us something else.’ Keep moving, see, just keep moving till every fellow take his place. Then you’re going to see the church of God begin to get its place. Then’s when the Philistines will go to backing up. The shorts will go off, hair will grow down, faces will be washed; cigars will be missing. That’s right. When the Church begins to get into Its mighty Power, when we have an Ananias and Sapphira, and a few of them. Yes, sir. You’ll see when that holy Church stands together in His Power, positionally placed as sons of God, adopted into the family of God, powerful Church standing there in Its glory. Oh, that’s what He’s coming for.”
[JBP] And there on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And above he writes: [WSS] «In the adoption».
And he also writes: [WSS] «Ananias and Sapphira».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look also there on 308, it tells us [Quotations]:
[60-0522M - “Adoption #3,” p. 29, paras. 158-159] [Bible Study #291, 19/Mar/2023 (Sunday), pp. 57-58]
308 - “158 What’s everything waiting on? What’s the whole creation waiting for? The manifestations of the sons of God. It’s waiting for the Church to become into Its position.”
[JBP] And there he draws a little Cornerstone.
308 - “[158] Who was the son of God, when Adam, where was his domain?”
[JBP] There on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages. And in the part where it says: “the manifestations of the sons of God,” there the arrow towards the Cornerstone.
And on the left, on that same sentence on the left he writes: [WSS] «Adoption», and a Cornerstone, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.
308 - “[158] The earth. He, he had domain over the earth. Is that right? He wasn’t Elah, Elah, Elohim then; He was Jehovah. See? That is, ‘I am God, and I’ve made some lesser ones under Me. And I have give them a dominion. And in their domain, the dominion under them, is the earth.’ Man had dominion over the earth. And all the whole creation is waiting for the sons of God to be manifested. (...)”
[JBP] On the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow toward the Cornerstone.
And he writes at the top: [WSS] «Cornerstone».
308 - “[159] God trying to place His Church in position, to manifest Hisself.”
[JBP] At the top he writes: [WSS] «The adoption in the Cornerstone, the position, the manifestation of the children of God».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] Those of [the] past ages didn’t know what age they were in, they didn’t know anything about stages or ages…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And look, on 134 of Quotations, there it tells us, paragraph 1197:
[64-0816 - “Proving His Word,” pp. 38-39, paras. 210-211] [Bible Study #335, 20/Aug/2023 (Sunday), pp. 13-14]
1197 – “210 He proves all of His Words, all of His Words. Just think of it, all of His Words! And you were His Word. He was the Word ([JBP] above that he writes): [WSS] «The Logos, the Word, the Theophany», and you were part of His Word ([JBP] on the right he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and a Star of David). And, that’s the reason you’re sent here, to confirm your place in life. I—I—I don’t think you got that. See, He is the Word. Now you get it?
211 He was in the feet, in Luther; in the thighs, in Wesley; in the shoulders, in Pentecost. See what I mean? He is the Head. You have a part that joins that together, this hour that we’re living now ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone); not the feet part, not the thigh part, not the shoulder part, but the neck part.”
[JBP] And in the part where it says: “but the,” there an arrow towards the neck, towards the part between the seventh age and the Cornerstone.
And at the top he writes: [WSS] «To confirm your place in life».
He also writes there: [WSS] «The Logos» on the left side.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this Bible study as well, there he writes…, where they put this quote for him, and at the end of the quote, he writes:
[WSS] «The age or stage of the neck».
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the part between the seventh age and the Cornerstone.
And look at this one here… this drawing that he does. This study was from the subject: “THE POSITION OF THE BRIDE IN THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST.”
“THE POSITION OF THE BRIDE,” and he put: [WSS] «= today the Church-Bride».
[JBP] Now, notice this drawing here that he made for us in this Bible study, where he puts: in the 7 ages, which is under the Dispensation of Grace, he puts it all the way to the neck part; and then on the Pyramid he writes there: [WSS] «8» and a door.
Of course the door is Christ; which we see in Revelation, chapter 4, where he says: “Come up hither.” That is, he draws the arrow from the subject to the Cornerstone.
Now see, everything he was showing us was what would be after the Dispensation of Grace; which we were not living in at that time, but everything was spoken in terms of what would be in that new age and that new dispensation. And he showed us where it was that the Church-Bride had to be positionally in order to receive her transformation: it was in an age above the ages, beyond the Dispensation of Grace.
And the transformation - the resurrection and transformation could not take place under the fulfillment and Work of God under the Dispensation of Grace; the Dispensation of Grace had to be closed so that the Dispensation of the Kingdom could then come in, where all the promises for the elect of God are contained. That is why “when the Church recognizes its position,”* then the rapture would take place.
*[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” p. 34, para. 240]
Under the Dispensation of Grace, those promises were not there; they are for the Dispensation of the Kingdom. When he said: [WSS] “The Door of the Dispensation of Grace was about to close,”* see? He was showing that we were still living under a dispensation in which those promises were not going to be carried out. But he revealed and made known to us that under a new age and a new dispensation, that is where God would fulfill that promise! And the Church had to recognize that position.
*[2017-01-27 “The Return of the Heavenly Citizens to the Father’s House” —Introduction—: [WSS] We are at a very important time, in which at any moment the door of the Dispensation of Grace will close, and then the door of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will open, with the Messiah, the Son of David, as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work. / Bible Study #247, 16/Oct/2022 (Sunday), p. 60 / Bible Study #259, 27/Nov/2022 (Sunday), p. 50]
Every elect of God, if they don’t recognize where they stand, they cannot expect to receive the promise of transformation. That is a requirement to obtain those promises: recognizing where you stand today.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, he continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] … they lived ([JBP] meaning, those of the ages) without being aware of the age they were living in, they did not understand these things. But for the end time, for that fourth stage, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will recognize its position; which is not the first, second, nor third, but the fourth position: in the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 68 of this book of Quotations, it tells us from paragraph 591, these are excerpts from the message “THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE.” He says: “Do you get it?” Paragraph 591, from page 68:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” p. 65, paras. 505-508] [Bible Study #364, 1-2/Dec/2023 (Friday), pp. 6-7]
591 – “[505] Do you get it? Amen. For God said, ‘I will restore It.’ He’s going to restore It. How? By four death messengers, killed It ([JBP] on the right he draws of a Cornerstone and the ages; and the last 3: [WSS] «1, 2, 3»; and the Cornerstone at the top: [WSS] «4»), then four Life messengers will restore It. What was the first? Martin Luther, justification. What was the second? ([JBP] He continues to number them there). John Wesley, by sanctification. What was the third? Pentecost, with the restoration of the gifts, the Holy Ghost, baptism of the Holy Ghost. What was the fourth? The Word. What? The Word. There were four great prophets.
506 One of them, Martin Luther, he begin to shine a Light. There was a little Light, just a very small strength, of justification. Along come Wesley, stronger, sanctification.
507 After Wesley, come the stronger than him, Pentecostal, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, in another great prophet. See?”
[JBP] On the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and he numbers them again: [WSS] «1, 2, 3, 4», the Cornerstone.
591 – “508 But in the last days, of Malachi 4, Elijah is to come with the very Word.”
[JBP] On the right he writes: [WSS] «Elijah».
And above that he writes, above that paragraph: [WSS] «I will restore».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On 502 - 592 look there it continues to say in this other excerpt [Quotations]:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 65-66, paras. 510-514] [Bible Study #279, 5/Feb/2023 (Sunday), pp. 9-11 / Bible Study #364, 1-2/Dec/2023 (Friday), pp. 8-9, 11-12]
592 – “510 ‘Prophesy, son of man. Can these bones live?’ Wish we had time. I got it wrote down here, but I have to miss that. ‘Prophesy. Can these bones live?’ What’s the four stages of Ezekiel’s dry bones coming forth? But the Life only come, not when the sinew skin was on them, but when the wind blowed upon them. That’s when come back that fourth Message of Life.
511 ‘I will restore, saith the Lord.’ Hallelujah! Glory! Praise be to God. The fourth Light is to come, that will bring forth the same signs.”
[JBP] On the left he writes: [WSS] «4th Light».
A Cornerstone and the ages: [WSS] «1, 2, 3, 4»; he also numbers those.
And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Light».
And a Cornerstone and the ages as well; and the last 3 ages and the fourth: the Cornerstone, he numbers those as well.
592 – “[511] Watch. Justification brought back the pulp. Sanctification brought back the bark, doctrine of holiness.
512 What brought back the leaf? Pentecostals. What is it? Pentecostals, leaves, clap their hand…”
[JBP] The… [clap!, clap!, clap!] a lot of clapping along when they go singing, and all that is Pentecostal, Pentecostalism; and that belongs to the Dispensation of Grace: it is all clapping and uproar.
That’s why, what our brother Miguel read is in the book of Quotations, that’s where it’s written, which was not in the manner and the way it was done in the denominations and in that third Pentecostal stage, rather, it was with and in great reverence, that stage that he was seeing there, where the people were being prepared to receive the promises corresponding to the Dispensation of the Kingdom.
592 – “[512] Pentecostals, leaves, clap their hand, joy, rejoicing, Pentecostal.
513 What? The fourth was the Word, Itself. The Word made flesh, fruits of the proof of the resurrection sign that Christ has finally, after justification been planted, sanctification been planted, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Organizations died out. And Christ has again centered Himself like that cap of the pyramid. ([JBP] There on the right, he draws a Star of David). First line, justification; sanctification; baptism of the Holy Ghost; then coming of the Cap.”
[JBP] And there he draws a Cornerstone.
592 – “514 What is it? ([JBP] On the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and he numbers the last 3 and divides them). That Holy Ghost bunch being honed out…”
[JBP] It’s so beautiful to be called “the Holy Ghost bunch”! And to be able to say: “I am part of the group of the Holy Spirit!’ Not the group of that movement over there, or this one over here; no. “I am part of the Holy Ghost bunch!” “Thank you because I belong to that group - Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to belong to that group.”
592 – “ [514] …being honed out so that it can fit with the same kind of ministry He had when He went away, that, when He comes back ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «in His Coming», it’ll catch the whole thing in the Rapture…”
[JBP] On the right he writes: [WSS] «The Cornerstone» going upwards.
He wrote above the Star of David, there: [WSS] «The Cornerstone».
592 – “ [514] …where the justified, sanctified, and baptism of the Holy Ghost. That pyramid will stand again.”
[JBP] And there “that pyramid” he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] When the Church-Bride, the Bride recognizes Her position, then what will come? The rapture ([JBP] brother William says).
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] That is on page 37, let’s see and also page 107; but let’s turn to 37 first; paragraph 311 says [Quotations]:
[60-0522E - “Adoption #4,” p. 10, paras. 34, 36] [Study “The Age of Cornerstone, the Coming of the Lord,” 9/Nov/2022 (Wednesday), pp. 19-20 / Continuation of the Study: “The mystery of the general assembly of the firstborn written in Heaven,” 11-2/Feb/2023 (Saturday), pp. 7-9]
311 - “34 Now, notice, then the Coming of the Lord Jesus is so close at hand until the Spirit from way down in here… just barely justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and now right into the time of the coming of the Headstone. The Church has got to be so perfectly like Christ until Christ and the Church can unite together, the same Spirit. And if the Spirit of Christ is in you, It makes you live the life of Christ, act the life of Christ, do the works of Christ. ‘He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also.’ Jesus said that. See? Now we’re going to have, we got a ministry coming that’s just exactly like the life of Christ. What does that ministry identify? The Coming of the Lord.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In The Ages, the book of The Ages, it tells us that the Coming of the Lord would be the vindication which that messenger of Laodicea, meaning, of the Laodicean Age, is the forerunner of His Coming: [WMB] “The very presence…”.
In this book of The Ages it is one page 369, but in the other it is 365, or 3… check to see where it says [P. 326]:
Though he will not be popular, he will be vindicated by God. As Jesus authenticated John, and the Holy Ghost authenticated Jesus, we can well expect this man will be first of all authenticated by the Spirit working in his life in acts of power that are indisputable and found nowhere else; and Jesus Himself, in returning…
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «with Moses and Elijah» ([JBP] page 365).
Jesus Himself, in returning…
[JBP] “Because the Son of Man comes with His Angels.” [Matthew 16:27] He writes there: [WSS] «with Moses and Elijah».
…will authenticate him, even as He authenticated John. John witnessed that Jesus was coming, — and so will this man, like John ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Elijah», witness that Jesus is coming ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah». And the very return of Christ will prove that this man indeed was the forerunner of His second coming. This is the final evidence that this indeed is the prophet of Malachi 4, for the end of the Gentile period will be Jesus, Himself, appearing.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Elijah and Moses».
[JBP] In other words, unless this messenger appeared, the ministry of Elijah in his fourth manifestation forerunning the Coming of the Lord would not be vindicated.
…for the end of the Gentile period will be Jesus, Himself, appearing.
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «The last 3 ½ years of the 1954».
And he draws an arrow towards the Cornerstone and the ages.
In the other book of The Ages he writes: [WSS] «End of the Dispensation of Grace».
Then it will be too late for those who have rejected him.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice here, where we are reading [Quotations]:
311 - “[34] What does that ministry identify? The Coming of the Lord. (...)
[36] Look at the Lutheran church under justification, coming just so freshly from Catholicism, look at it moving. Then look at Wesley coming a little closer, into sanctification, weaving into the Scriptures. Look at right in between, the Wesley. Then the next thing come in was the Pentecostal age. And the Pentecostal age with the restoration of the gifts, the spiritual gifts.”
[JBP] Which would be taken away in the Age of the Cornerstone. If you can find that quote: [WSS] «The gifts will be taken away», I think it was a writing.
311 - “[36] Now, look at the age coming now right up to the Headstone. See what I mean? The Coming of the Lord, the made known. God and all creations is waiting for the church to positionally find its place.”
[JBP] There at the top he writes: [WSS] «The Age of the Cornerstone».
[WSS] «The Coming of the Lord».
[JBP] And in the… here as well, in this Bible study, in… where they put that excerpt for him, he writes: [WSS] «The ministry identifies the Coming of the Lord».
Referring to paragraph 311 which we just read.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, let’s see this one that we quoted there: page 16, paragraph 122, says [Quotations]:
[57-0407E - “Then Jesus Came,” p. 2, para. 13] [Bible Study #228, 12-2/Aug/2022 (Friday), p. 11 / Bible Study #361, 19-2/Nov/2023 (Sunday), pp. 19-20]
122 - “[13] I was just inspired to speak them words and say, that, some glorious day that all of the gifts that’s in the church will just be set aside, on the mantel, as it was. And the Holy Spirit, Himself, will just take the Church in such a control, of Divine love, until the sick will be healed, the blind will see, the lame will walk, without being hands laid on them. It’ll just be one great unity.”
[JBP] On the left he writes: [WSS] «In the Tent Vision: Divine Love».
And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Love».
There at the top a Cornerstone and the ages.
And above that he writes: [WSS] «The Tent Vision».
«On the 8th Day gifts will be taken away».
«Divine Love will take the Church, the sick will be healed».
And there on… at the beginning of paragraph 122, there, a Star of David on the left.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, let’s turn to 107, from this book of Quotations, paragraph 931, it tells us, here in this portion from page 107 [Quotations]:
[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” pp. 33-34, para. 240] [Bible Study #299, 16/Apr/2023 (Sunday), pp. 31-32 / Bible Study #359, 12-2/Nov/2023 (Sunday), p. 17 / Bible Study #400, 5/Apr/2024 (Friday), pp. 26-27]
931 – “240 The new Birth is Christ, is a revelation. God has revealed to you this great mystery, and that’s a new Birth. Now what are you going to do when you get all that group together? where the revelation is perfectly in harmony, and God expressing it through His Word by the same actions, the same things that He did, making the Word manifest.”
[JBP] There on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, the arrow towards the Cornerstone; where he says: “that’s a new,” and there an arrow towards there, towards the Cornerstone.
931 – “[240] Oh, if the Church only knew its position!”
[JBP] And there he draws another Cornerstone and the ages and the arrow towards the Cornerstone, on the right.
931 – “[240] It will, one day. Then, the Rapture will go when it knows what it is.”
[JBP] There he draws a Cornerstone.
And he writes: [WSS] «Adoption».
And at the top he writes: [WSS] «The new birth when the Church recognizes her position».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There’s another place too, on 36, where it also tells us, in paragraph 304, tells us [Quotations]:
[60-0518 - “Adoption #2,” pp. 8-10, paras. 43-44, 47-51] [Study “The Teaching for the Adoption of the Church at the Last Day,” 6/May/2023 (Saturday), pp. 92-93 / Study “The Adoption at the Summit,” 15/June/2024 (Saturday), p. 6-9]
304 - “[43] And these mysteries has been hid now, remember, the Bible said, ‘Since the foundation of the world, waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God,’ to display them to the church. (...)”
[JBP] On the right, he writes: [WSS] «Adoption».
304 - “[44] Now remember, all through the ages of Moses, back through the ages of the prophets, back through all ages, they’ve waited until this latter days for these things to be displayed, according to the Scripture.
[JBP] He underlines and circles “latter days.”
304 - “[44] That’s right, for it to be revealed to the sons of God. (...)
[47] Christ, the Headstone, see, was rejected.”
[JBP] What will be revealed? Everything God would do. And to whom? To His Church.
304 - “48 But as we grow from the Lutheran age, Baptist age, Methodist age, Pentecostal age, we’re right up to the capping Stone now, see, waiting and longing for that capping Stone to set down, the building’s complete. (...)
49 Now, and in the Bible, we’re living in the last day, the top of the pyramid…”
[JBP] And there he draws a Cornerstone, the ages; and the arrow towards the seventh age.
And on the left, a Cornerstone as well and the ages; and from what we read, an arrow towards the seventh age; and in the Cornerstone, where it says: “capping,” well, an arrow there towards the Cornerstone.
304 - “[49] …the crossed fishes of the cancer age in the zodiac, in the time of the coming of Leo the lion, in the capping stone, and in the days of the manifestations of the sons of God (...).”
[JBP] He writes on the right: [WSS] «Lion».
304 - “[49] See where we’re at? We’re right at the end time. (…)
[50] Oh, what a—what a—what a privilege, what a day! If the Christians could only realize the day that we are living in!”
[JBP] There he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the left as well, and he divides the seventh age.
304 - “[50] My!
51 What do you think? The writer of this Book, that seen it, and seen where it would be manifested in the last days, waiting and groaning for those sons of God to rise in the last days, with the power of the Holy Ghost at the end of the age, to reveal the secret things from the foundation of the world, to bring it up.”
[JBP] And there at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «The adoption, at the top, in the Cornerstone, on the final Day, Last Day, in the 7th millennium».
And on the left he draws a Cornerstone, the ages; and he writes above the Cornerstone: [WSS] «Last Day».
[JBP] Notice, all the prophets were pointing to this day, waiting for those children of God.
And when we read that, one can say: “I am one of those children that they were waiting to be manifested at the end of time”. That Word has already come to life in us: in you and in me. It is no longer “when they”; no: It is already… “I am already being manifested in my life, showing what was spoken.”
See, even the Earth groans waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God [Romans 8:19-23].
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] When the Church-Bride, the Bride recognizes her position, then what will come? The rapture. That’s where the faith to be transformed and raptured is received…
[JBP] Where? In the position of the Age of the Cornerstone. And when She recognizes that position, that is where she will receive and does receive the Rapturing Faith. He says:
[WSS] That is where one receives the faith to be transformed and raptured, which He will give to His Church under the Seventh Seal ([JBP] and the Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord) and under the Voice of the Seven Thunders, which is the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church at the Last Day; to hear His Voice and obtain the revelation of the Seventh Seal: to therefore obtain the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 8-A of this book of Quotations, paragraph 75, tells us:
[59-0301E - “What Does Thou Here?” p. 17, para. 135] [Bible Study #364, 1-2/Dec/2023 (Friday), pp. 13-14]
75 – “135 Lord, in a few days, I’m climbing into a cave yonder, to wait.”
[JBP] And on “cave,” he draws a Cornerstone.
75 – “[135] O God, help me, Lord. Blind me, and deafen my ears, from the things of the world, for popularity, or for fame, or for any vain thing that this world could offer. Let me stay there, Lord, till I hear that still small Voice ([JBP] he writes on the right): [WSS] «still small Voice» ([JBP] going upwards). Then let Your servant come forth, Lord, mounting up, on the wings of an Eagle ([JBP] and on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone) . Grant it, Lord.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Wings of an Eagle».
And those Wings are the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
Above he writes: [WSS] «Come forth on the Wings of an Eagle».
[WSS] «Elijah, the still small Voice = cave».
That is, the Age of the Cornerstone.
[JBP] And look, in this writing of this Bible study, from the message “WHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH TODAY?” there he writes:
[WSS] «We will see him for the 5th time with Moses, coming on a white horse, the Word, in a Tent Cathedral».
[JBP] That is the Rider on the fifth horse of the Revelation; which is the Coming of the Lord with the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] We must be aware that in that stage there will also be a squeeze prophesied for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; therefore, we have to be prepared so that we don’t say: “I didn’t know that we were going to suffer.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, on page 68 of this book of Quotations, in paragraph 589, it says:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 56-57, para. 446]
589 – “[446] At that day you’ll know that I am in the Father, the Father in Me, and I in you, and you in Me.” Hmm! ([JBP] brother Branham says) I just love that. Satan just gets so angry at that.”
[JBP] See? Because when the Church is going to receive the blessings and starts recognizing her position, and uniting as one same Body, the devil doesn’t like that.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] That was what he said in “Words To The Bride”*; it says: [WMB] “He’ll shoot everything”; there is a part where he says something like that. Look… there at the beginning:
*[Bible Study #274, 20/Jan/2023 (Friday), pp. 17-22: “Words To The Bride,” 63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” pp. 11-12, paras. 80-87]
[Bookmark: https://imprenta.carpa.com/es/bookmark-words-to-the-bride/]
[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” p. 11, para. 80]
80 Love one another, above everything. Love one another. Don’t…No matter what the devil tries to say! Now you’re all one great big sweet group now, but remember my warning, see, Satan won’t let that stay that way. No, sir.
[JBP] Notice what he says there: [WMB] “He doesn’t like it; that makes him angry.”
[80] He’ll shoot everything, if he has to bring somebody in to make his target.
[JBP] For what? Look:
[80] He’ll bring some critic or unbeliever…
[JBP] And you already know everything he goes on to say there. Why? Because the devil doesn’t like it, and even more so when he knows that he has little time left. [WMB] “He gets angry,” he says [Quotations]:
589 – “[446] Satan just gets so angry at that. See the Oneness of God? All that God was, He poured into Christ; and all Christ was, He poured into the Church. There you are. Makes them all One.”
[JBP] And he writes there, above that: [WSS] «God in Christ, Christ in His Bride».
And there on the right, at the bottom part of that excerpt, he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he also writes: [WSS] «Jesus Christ with we are one».
[JBP] Now, notice why the devil gets angry when we reach that unity.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] But look, in 130 it tells us what the Bride is going to receive there in that perfect age; he says, paragraph 1159 [Quotations]:
[64-0726M - “Recognizing Your Day And Its Message,” p. 29, para. 169] [Study “The vindicated Word of the Hour today,” 27/Feb/2024 (Tuesday), pp. 31-32]
1159 – “[169] ‘As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses,’ so do these men of reprobate mind concerning the Truth, resist It,’ won’t have It in their neighborhood, won’t even co-operate with It, won’t have nothing to do with It. But said, ‘Their folly will be made known.’ When that Bride takes Her stand ([JBP] and there he draws a little Cornerstone) and moves up into the skies, it’ll be made known, don’t worry ([JBP] and on the left he draws another Cornerstone); like Moses, when he took the children of Israel, and took the flight out of Egypt, and Egypt sunk.”
[JBP] And there he draws a Star of David, on “like Moses, when he,” on the right he draws a Star of David.
And above he writes: [WSS] «Jannes and Jambres».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] Therefore, whoever doesn’t understand these things and doesn’t know that there will be a very difficult squeeze, will say: “No, I won’t go on, because I do not want trouble.”
It [was] has already been prophesied that it will be that way and that under that time of squeeze we will receive the faith to be transformed, and the Third Stage will be manifested; the resurrection of the dead in Christ will come and the transformation of the believers in Christ who are alive in the stage or age for the adoption, the fourth stage of the Church in the program of the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in this message “TOKEN,” which he speaks to us here, on page 17; and he writes to us a requirement there; and may God allow us to understand this. It says…, page 17, halfway down the page:
[63-0901M - “Token,” p. 22, paras. 155-162]
155 Get the point now. The Jews, no matter how much they could prove that they were circumcised, but the token had to be showed. If not there, the covenant was not effective. It wasn’t.
156 Same now, same thing ([JBP] on the left he writes): [WSS] «the covenant is not effective without the sign». No matter what you do, no matter how much you can—you can explain the Bible. You might be a Bible student. Oh, my! You might—you might say, “I’m a believer, and everything.” But still the Token is required. A Bible student, you say, “I was a good person, Brother Branham.”
157 “I don’t care what anybody says, you can’t beat that man. I never seen him do anything wrong, in my life.” That don’t have that to do with God. [Brother Branham snaps his finger—Ed.] There is one requirement, and that alone!
158 And you cannot do that. You cannot put the blood on the lintel of the door, where, the token could not be unless the lamb died ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «one requirement». And the blood was a positive sign that the lamb died. No make-belief; the lamb died!
159 And the Holy Ghost is a positive Token that your Lamb died and you received the Token upon yourself, for His very Life is in you. See? ([JBP] and he writes there at the bottom): [WSS] «in the evening time there would be another sacrifice». There is no make-belief. There is no put-on. There is no impersonation. It’s there! You know it. You know it. The world knows it. The Token is there.
[JBP] Above he writes: [WSS] «The Token applied».
160 No matter how good the person was. Might been a Bible student. It might be a…It might be any kind of a—a good church member. It might be a good person. It might be a—a denominational head ([JBP] meaning, a minister). It might be the—the hierarchy of Rome ([JBP] meaning, the pope). I—I don’t know who it is, it don’t—it don’t make it anything.
161 But, Israel, any Bible student knows that Israel was a type of the Church, exactly, to the promised land. And that’s where She is journeying.
162 But when the evening time come, and the journey was on, there was one solemn requirement. No matter how much Jew he had been, how well he had kept his crops, how well he had taken care of the neighbors, how much he had done, how good a member he was, how much tithes he paid. All these things was fine. That was okay. He was a good man, recognized among his people, as a good man. But without the token, of the blood, he perished.
[JBP] And on the left he writes: [WSS] «One requirement».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the book of Quotations, on page 115, paragraph 1019, it tells us:
[63-1124M - “What Shall I Do With Jesus Called Christ?” p. 26, paras. 115-116] [Bible Study #317, 18/June/2023 (Sunday), pp. 52-53 / Bible Study #384, 9-2/Feb/2024 (Friday), pp. 8-9]
1019 – “[115] It’s a uniting time of God and His Bride, too. And I say this with reverence and respect. I believe that the Bride of Christ is called. I believe She is sealed in the Kingdom of God. I believe the mechanics is there ([JBP] the mechanics is there). They’re waiting for the Dynamics that’ll take Her off the earth, into Glory, in the Rapture. (…)
116 The Dynamics of this Church will be a refilling of the Holy Spirit that we have worked in a small measure while the Headstone is coming down to unite with the Body. But when that Head and Body unites together, the full power of the Holy Ghost would raise Her up just exactly like that; even the dead, that’s dead in Christ, for hundreds of years ago, will rise in the beauty of His holiness, and take a flight to the skies.”
[JBP] And below he draws a Star of David.
And he writes: [WSS] «The mechanics».
And he draws a Cornerstone and he writes:
[WSS] «The dynamics», and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.
And he writes: [WSS] «The refilling».
And going upwards, on the left, he writes: [WSS] «The Cornerstone».
And at the top of that excerpt he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 11:3, 19:11-19, 7:2, 14:1».
And he writes: [WSS] «The Resurrection and the Rapture».
[JBP] Now notice that all of that has to do with the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] Even the restoration will come to the physical part: we will be restored to [physical] eternal life with and in eternal and glorified bodies.
The restoration of the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, will also take place, by that Book being restored to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day, which Christ takes in Heaven and brings in Revelation - He takes It in Heaven, in chapter 5 of Revelation, He opens It in Heaven in chapter 5 up to chapter 8, and then He brings It to Earth and delivers It to His Church, His Church represented in John the apostle.
Therefore, the ministry will be there, to which the Word for that age comes ([JBP] which age? The Age of the Cornerstone), as it was for every stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this writing as well, of this Bible study, where he wrote there:
[WSS] «The revelation of each Seal has its fulfillment in human beings. The revelation of the 7th Seal will be Christ, the Holy Spirit veiled and revealed in human flesh, in a man».
[JBP] And also in this other writing, where he speaks about Isaiah, chapter 52, verse 6, in that Scripture he writes: [WSS] «He will be…», because that Scripture says:
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».
[(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]
[WSS] “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH,” of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, he had said in this message, in: “TIME OF UNITY AND WORK TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF TRANSFORMATION,” he says:
TIME OF UNITY AND WORK TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF TRANSFORMATION
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, May 14, 2011
Santiago de Chile, Chile
Everything pertaining to the Seven Seals will be spoken.
The Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, Reverend William Branham says, is not open yet. That was the teaching of what will come to pass ([JBP] See? Of what would come to pass, he brought that revelation); and where He brought the teaching of what was already history and what was happening in His time; and all that is contained in the Seals; but the Title Deed is still in the right hand of God.
When He is taken from the right hand of God, then Christ has already changed from Lamb to Lion, from High Priest to Judge; and that is why in Revelation, chapter 10, He cries as when (what?) a lion roars. He is already there as Lion, with the Book open in His hand, and Seven Thunders uttering Their voices.
[JBP] When the Mighty Angel is told: “Go and ask him for the little Book”…; and he says that he went and asked Him for it. He had It in his hand. And He said to him: “Take it,” He gives It to him there, “and eat It”; because the Book is to be and for being carried —the Word, the Ark— in the heart, contained in the heart of a prophet.
“It shall be sweet in your mouth, but it shall be bitter in your belly.” In other words, because of the persecution and everything that messenger will go through, and also the people who will therefore also be receiving that Word; which is being received at this time. And as we obtain all that Word, there will be more and more bitterness because of that Word.
But it is better to have that Word, that Title Deed, with which we are claiming our possession, and go through some trials and struggles; than to not have that Title Deed, not go through problems and difficulties, but have to go through the great tribulation.
So, when one sees, it is worthwhile to keep fighting, it is worthwhile to keep persevering; with criticism, mockery, and with whatever the devil throws and continues to throw our way, but with the Birthright Blessing, with God’s blessing, which leads us to the promised land of the new body.
Now notice, at that time he was telling us, in 2011, that [WSS] the Title was still in the right hand of God, that that would be later on; which pertains to this time.
Now, he continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] Therefore, onward working in the Work of the Lord until all the promises given for the Church for this end time are crystallized, and we see what has been promised for this end time; things which or that we believe because they are in the prophetic Word given to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 106 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 920 it tells us:
[63-0724 - “God Doesn’t Call Man To Judgment Without First Warning Him,” p. 29, para. 193] [Bible Study #236, 9/Sep/2022 (Friday), pp. 49-50 / Study “What lies between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal before the Rapture,” 14/Aug/2023 (Monday), p. 20]
920 – “[193] Look here where we’re at: right here at the top of the pyramid; right here where God has proved it, that the Bible through the seven seals has perfectly been revealed; waiting only now for them seven mysteries ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Thunders» right at last, on the Coming of the Lord and the Rapture of the Church that might happen before morning.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Waiting for the Thunders right at last».
And he writes: [WSS] «In the Coming of the Lord».
And at the top he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 10:1-6. The Thunders: in the Coming of the Lord».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] There will be a fulfillment, the fulfillment of the Tent Vision that Reverend William Branham had; and we all want to be aware of that reality and be working on that project, a divine project; a project that has to become a reality, not in the first stage of restoration: not in the time of Luther, not in the second stage: not in the time of Wesley, not in the third stage: not in the time of Reverend William Branham, not in the time of the Pentecostal age; but in [the] this end time: in the fourth stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 134 of the book of Quotations…
Now look at this writing as well… Notice, it did not happen in the time of Luther, nor in Wesley nor in Reverend William Branham; but look at how it was in the time of Moses. Here he writes over here in this writing, he says:
[WSS] «Moses coming out of Egypt with the Hebrew people to go to the promised land. Joshua continued the Work».
[JBP] Notice, from stage to stage God went on sending a messenger for that restoration in the midst of the Church. And see, back in the time of Moses, he writes there:
[WSS] «In the 4th generation they will come back here.
Lutheran, Wesleyan, Pentecostal, and the fourth, the Word».
«The Word came in the 4th generation in Moses and Joshua».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now let’s turn there to 134 in the book of Quotations, paragraph 1193 where it says:
[64-0802 - “The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride,” pp. 60, 61, paras. 501, 506] [Bible Study #316, 16/June/2023 (Friday), pp. 16-17]
1193 – “501 Yes, become a part of the Word, a part of the Word of today. Can’t be a part of the Word of Moses’ day; that part is done made up, that was the feet. We’re at the Head now. This is Christ. Not the arms time, back in Luther, no. This is the Head time. Christ, the Headstone, comes to the Body. (...)
[506] And we see the great reformation of Luther, in that age; and of Wesley; and the Pentecostal. Now we’re looking for the Headstone of the City.”
[JBP] At the top he writes: [WSS] «The Headstone comes to the body».
[JBP] The Headstone is Christ.
There he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And on 69… Now, what is the Cornerstone for? To ripen. Notice, this is where it speaks to us: in paragraph 593 on page 69 [Quotations]:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” p. 67, paras. 518-520] [Bible Study #222, 22/July/2022 (Friday), pp. 11-12 / Study “The Jewish Age,” 2/Sep/2023 (Saturday), pp. 74-75]
593 – “[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 shall rise in the West (what for?), to shine upon the Word (what?), to ripen the fruit, bring forth the Bride Tree…”
[JBP] On the left he writes: [WSS] «The Sun will ripen the grain in the West», on the left, going upwards.
593 – “[520] …with the same signs, wonders, and fruits that they had at the beginning.”
[JBP] And on the right he writes: [WSS] «The Sun».
And a Cornerstone and the ages.
[WSS] «The Sun — West».
And he also writes at the top: [WSS] «The Light in the West».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] That is why [what] although Reverend William Branham tried to conquer that promise, he could not; he tried to reach out his spiritual hand to take a hold of those promises…
[JBP] He said so in several places in the book of Quotations: [WMB] “I could almost reach out to take hold of it.”*
*• [58-0928M - “The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit,” p. 44, paras. 210-213] • [60-0522E - “Adoption #4,” p. 19, paras. 87-88]
[WSS] … but he couldn’t, because it was not for his time; it is for the fourth stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for a restoration that will not only reach the spiritual transformation, but also the physical one: the adoption of the sons and daughters of God.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 77 of the book of Quotations, in paragraph 661 it tells us:
[62-1014M - “The Stature Of A Perfect Man,” p. 46, paras. 352-354] [Bible Study #405, 21-2/Apr/2024 (Sunday), pp. 16-17]
661 – “[352] God represents His Church as a Bride. And the way He brings each individual to being His son, to go in that Bride, He also has brought the Bride through these ages, till He brings this one complete Church into this.”
[JBP] On the left he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and he writes: [WSS] «Love».
661 – “353 My feet moves. Why? Because my head says so. Now, it can’t move like my hand, because it’s my feet. Luther can’t do the things that we did, neither can the Methodists, because they were something else. See? The feet moves because the head says so. And the head never says, “Now, feet, you become hand. Ear, you become eyes.” See?
354 But, each age, God has placed these things into His Church, and patterned it by showing that each individual has these, possesses these qualities. And this Being, when it’s completed, is the Church of God going to Rapture. And this being, and completed, is a servant of God, in the Church of God, that’s going in the Rapture.”
[JBP] Remember in the message “MASTERPIECE.”*
*[64-0705 - “The Masterpiece”]
Now, there on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «Love» again.
And below he writes:
[WSS] «1. The Church.
2. The believer».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On 161 in paragraph 1429, it also tells us [Quotations]:
[65-0822M - “Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word,” p. 35, para. 152] [Bible Study #268, 30-4/Dec/2022 (Friday), pp. 30-31]
1429 – “152 You can’t see with your hands, yet it’s part of the body. You can’t see with the ears, yet it can hear. You can’t see with the nose, yet it smells. You can’t—you can’t see with the lips, though it speaks; see, that was the Pentecostal age. But now it’s in the eye time, the seeing ([JBP] and on the right he writes): [WSS] «Eyes». See? Now, there isn’t one moving faculty beyond the eye. Is that right?
The next is the intelligence, which is Christ Itself, Who controls the whole Body.”
[JBP] And at the top he writes:
[WSS] «The Eye — the prophet.
The Intelligence — Christ».
And below he writes (“Who controls the whole Body,” that is, there at the end, at the bottom he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Which there is a drawing about, where he showed us where… where those Two Eyes are (let’s see if it’s here), which pertain to the ministries of Moses and Elijah. (Here it is). And this drawing is already a complete study; we are going to continue developing this subject, which we have already seen, and we have already seen all those Scriptures.
But look at where those Two Eyes are; which, from age to age, an eye, notice, represents the prophet of that age. God opens one eye, then He closes it; then He opens another one and again…, likewise, that is, He takes him away. [WMB] “They are called stars (page 265 of the book of The Ages) because they are holders of light,” it says in Ages [The Ages, “The Thyatirean Church Age,” p. 241].
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice, then up above, in the Age of Cornerstone, are those Two Eyes; which, in that dream that our brother Branham’s son had... We were not going to talk about - about this now; but let’s, since we touched on it a little bit here… In the book of Quotations, I believe it’s from the message “STANDING IN THE GAP,” where it shows us... If you can find it quickly there, where he says: [WMB] “My son Billy Paul talks in his sleep…,” it starts like that; if you have it there; it must be around the year ‘63.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s look at 1050, on page 118 [Quotations]:
[63-1229M - “There Is A Man Here That Can Turn On The Light,” pp. 24-25, paras. 138-142] [Bible Study #385, 11-3/Feb/2024 (Sunday), pp. 38-40, 44-45 / Study “God’s Revelation Brought by Human Voice to the Attributes of God,” 10-2/June/2024 (Monday), pp. 4-10 / Bible Study #430, 19/July/2024 (Friday), pp. 21, 23-25]
1050 – “138 My son, Billy Paul, he talks in his sleep, but he doesn’t have dreams very often. He had one the other night that shook him up. Said he dreamed he was in a church, and—and they...I hadn’t come in yet.
Said, when I come in, fire was flying out of the eyes ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah», and I said, ‘The time is here. It’s over.’”
[JBP] Because under that ministry of Moses and Elijah is when time is no more, that is, the time of the Dispensation of Grace.
1050 – “[138] ‘... It’s over.’
And everybody begin screaming, ‘I can’t! My children!’
139 And even my wife said, ‘I can’t get Sarah to ask the blessing at the table,’ and so forth. And I said…
He said, ‘I’ve got to go get Loyce and—and the baby.’
140 I said, ‘Loyce can’t come now. The baby is too young to know. Billy, the hour is here. We must go.’ I said, ‘It’s midnight now. Before daylight, Jesus will be here. If it isn’t, then I’m a false witness of Christ.’
And somebody spoke up, said, ‘No man knows the minute or hour.’
141 ‘I never said minute or hour. I said, “Sometime between now and daylight ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «of the 7th Millennium».”’ And I said, ‘Let’s—let’s go.’...?...I said, ‘But we’re at the time. Let’s go.’
And we got in the car, and started, and we started up the mountain. And when we did, it was looked like the light was coming in the skies, but dark upon the earth. He said I pulled off the side of the road, and held my hands over like this, fire still flying from the eyes ([JBP] he says… he held up [Dr. JBP holds up his arms –Ed.]). And he said I said, ‘Lord, I have did this at Your command. I have did this just because that You told me to do it this way. I have did these things according to what You’ve told me.’
And I motioned to a big granite mountain; and a—a Light, without hands, cut a Stone out of the mountain, weighing hundreds of tons, and here It come. I said, ‘Turn your heads; don’t look. It’ll all be over just in a few minutes.’ Said, then a great holy hush ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «silence for ½ an hour» come everywhere, as this Stone come towards the place.
142 It may be later than we think. There, see, that’s exactly Scriptural, you see, ‘the Stone, without hands, cut out of mountain.’
And so one of these days it’s going to be that way, when you’re going to scream for something. (...)
…but it was a—it was a dream sent to him from the Lord.”
[JBP] He writes there, going upwards, on the right: [WSS] «Between now and daylight, Jesus will be here, before daylight».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, let’s go to 1420 of page 160; it says [Quotations]:
[65-0822M - “Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word,” pp. 17-18, paras. 76-77] [Bible Study #311, 28/May/2023 (Sunday), pp. 10-11 / Study “Moses and Elijah — The Coming of the Lord,” 25-1/Nov/2023 (Saturday), pp. 7-8]
1420 – “[76] You mustn’t misinterpret the Bible.
For, Jesus Himself is the interpretation of the Bible, when He’s made manifest in the age that the part of His Body is being made manifest.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «fulfilling»; above “manifest”: [WSS] «fulfilling».
[JBP] And on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
1420 – “[76] If it’s a hand age, it must be a hand; it can’t be a head age. If it’s a voice age, well, then, it can’t be a foot age. See? And now we’re at the eye age. And now the next, is Him Hisself, to come. Seeing; prophetic!”
[JBP] On the right he draws a Cornerstone.
1420 – “77 See, down through the age, we started off from the foundation, from the first church age; when the Seed went in the ground, the complete Seed. Then it come out through the feet, Luther; come back out then through Wesley; then in to Pentecostals, the tongues, in the lips, see; now it’s in the eyes, prophetic, of Malachi 4, and so forth. And now there’s nothing else left for it to come but Him Himself to step into that, ’cause that’s the last thing there is.
The next is the intelligence, and we have no intelligence of our own; it’s His.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Lord’s Intelligence = the Mind».
[WSS] «Moses and Elijah — the Coming of the Lord».
And he draws a Cornerstone.
And above that paragraph he writes: [WSS] «After Elijah comes Moses».
And above that he also writes: [WSS] «Age of the Eyes».
In other words, of those ministries, which the Holy Spirit would be operating in that Age of Cornerstone; which we saw there in that drawing.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say [(MM) “THE FOUR STAGES OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH”]:
[WSS] That is why the call from God of the Last Day is to come up to the stage relevant to our time, the stage for the adoption of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 116 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 1028 it says:
[63-1124E - “Three Kinds Of Believers,” p. 14, para. 97] [Bible Study #384, 9-2/Feb/2024 (Friday), pp. 34-35]
1028 – “97 That’s the reason I do believe that when that Bride is called out and elected, and set in the Book of Life, there will come a sound from Heaven that’ll take such a baptism of the Holy Spirit into that Bride that’ll take Her from the earth, in a Rapturing grace. God promised it.”
[JBP] And at the top he writes: [WSS] «Baptism of the Holy Spirit = the fullness».
[WSS] «There will come a sound from Heaven».
[JBP] And in “baptism of the Holy Spirit,” between there he writes: [WSS] «the Transformation».
[JBP] “AT EVENING TIME IT SHALL BE LIGHT.” That is the subject that we will be hearing and seeing on this occasion. And we have seen, briefly in a few passages, everything relevant to that restoration of the Church of the Lord at this end time; which was shown in the book of prophet Joel, and in the messages of brother Branham.
In that message “THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE” there you can find many things that we were told, which we have touched on in other studies; but notice, all of that is to be fulfilled at this end time.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this message it also talks about: “PERFECT FAITH,” here it also tells us about that position that the Church-Bride has to receive or be…Look, just a little bit, since we have it here; it says on page 16:
[63-0825E - “Perfect Faith,” pp. 14-15, paras. 93-97] [Study “Seeing God face to face,” 4/Mar/2023 (Saturday), pp. 41-42]
93 Jesus had Perfect Faith. He—He had it, and it come because He was the Word. And you become the Word; you become the Word, as you receive the Word. “If ye abide in Me, and My Words in you. My Words which…” (this Word) “abides in you, then ask what you will, and it’ll be done for you.” See? “If ye say to this mountain, ‘Be moved,’ and don’t doubt, but believe in what you’ve said, then you shall have what you said ([JBP] on the right he writes): [WSS] «the spoken Word». When you pray, believe that you receive what you ask for, and ye shall have it; it’ll be given to you.” Time, space, nothing else will ever change it. You know it’s done ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «Vision of the Word». It’s already—it’s already over with.
94 Now, watch! Now, and He said to us, “If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you,” Saint John, here, “you can ask what you will, it’ll be done.” Then, recognize your position in the Scripture, as a believer. See, you’ve got to recognize your position, as He recognized His position.
[JBP] He writes there: [WSS] «Recognize our position».
95 “Is not it written that Christ shall come, and what all Christ would do?” He said to Cleopas and them that morning, “Isn’t it written in the Scriptures that they’ll have to…that He must suffer and then be killed and raised the third day?” Said, “Why are you so slow of understanding?”
96 And they thought, “My, this man speaks a little different from other men.” Come to find out, when they got into the inn, it was Him. See, their eyes was withholden from Him. See, they knowed that He kept laying to that Scripture, and they knowed It was Him.
[JBP] And there he draws a Star of David.
97 Now, you must believe what you ask for. If you are a believer, recognize yourself as a believer. Recognize that these things are for you.
[JBP] And he writes below: [WSS] «Recognize your position. Recognize that these things are for you».
[JBP] That is something for you and for me. Just recognize it. Those are things for the elect of this end time, who have come up to the Age of the Cornerstone.
“AT EVENING TIME IT SHALL BE LIGHT.”
Let’s stand and thus leave in this subject, in which he tells us many important things there…; and from what we have, from what he have spoken, we have already seen there everything relevant to the time in which we are living and the importance of recognizing our position.
If we have a song for this occasion, and that way we can have the message for this occasion afterwards.
Go ahead with a song.
[Let’s sing number 133, “The Pillar of Fire.”]
THE PILLAR OF FIRE
1
The Pillar of Fire,
which spoke to Moses from that bush,
which went with Israel through the wilderness.
and parted Jordan for them towards freedom…
2
The Pillar of Fire,
which was with Joshua before His people,
the one who fought and overcame with his great strength,
and took them to the land of milk and honey…
CHORUS
The Pillar of Fire,
which was in the prophets and in Jesus,
which was in His Angel Messenger:
He’s here today! He’s still here today!
The Pillar of Fire,
is speaking to us today through His instrument,
He is preparing us for our adoption.
He is God Himself, the Great I AM!
3
The Pillar of Fire,
which will fill this great Temple with Glory,
the one that will perform miracles and wonders,
is becoming incarnate in our lives today.
2 and CHORUS (2 times)
[JBP] With us our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
