BIBLE STUDY #471 – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2024
Third activity
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present, and those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite, and different means of communication; there in Monterrey with our brother Epifanio Lopez, Reverend Epifanio Lopez, where Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin is: May God bless him greatly, and keep him healthy and strong, and his voice as well, may He keep him with a clear voice; and help him at all times to continue moving forward in the midst of the people, and to thus be, to thus continue being a blessing for the Divine Program in this Third Pull. May God bless you greatly, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin.
And to all those who are visiting us on this occasion as well: welcome, and God bless you greatly too; and those who are from here too: may God bless you greatly.
Let’s search in our Bibles, in Isaiah, chapter 52, which was the Scripture that Dr. William Soto Santiago read to us there, in this subject that we will be seeing and hearing:
THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Monday, January 26, 2009 Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia
Scripture: Isaiah 52:5-8
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Which today, Sunday, December 8, 2024, we will be seeing and hearing. Isaiah, chapter 52, verse 5 and on, tells us:
Isaiah 52:5
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
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] There he writes going upwards: [WSS] «The Name».
And he also draws a Star of David.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left.
And there at the end he writes: “Thy God reigneth”: [WSS] «Rev. 19:11-19».
And “Thy God reigneth,” he also draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone, there on the left.
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] It tells us in the message “THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD,” which was preached on May 4, 2003 in Monterrey, Mexico, he says:
THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, May 4, 2003 (Second activity) Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
We find that the Hebrew people (which is a type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, of the heavenly Israel) is the fold that God brought out of Egypt and took to the promised land; and God shepherded them through the prophet Moses, God through His Holy Spirit in the prophet Moses [and He] shepherded them through the desert, gave them spiritual food and also gave them physical food.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In a writing… here he leaves written for us, on a paper, in a booklet:
[WSS] «Moses coming out of Egypt with the Hebrew people to go to the promised land. Joshua continued the Work».
And he writes: [WSS] «[H.S.]» above «Joshua».
[WSS] «Genesis 15», there is a Scripture there; and he writes:
[WSS] «In the 4th generation they shall come hither again: Lutheran, Wesleyan, Pentecostal, and the fourth: the Word».
«In the 4th generation the Word came in Moses and Joshua».
«Jesus with His followers going out to the promised land of the Holy Spirit (the heavenly body), and entering to enter the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Kingdom of God in the spiritual realm».
«In each age an exodus is made to enter with the Holy Spirit in each messenger into each age of the Kingdom of God in His Church».
«An exodus from the denominational world to the quickened Word in each age».
«And at the Last Day…».
(He continues writing all that like that, going downwards).
«And at the Last Day - Under the Great Voice of Trumpet, and at the Last Day, to enter with the Angel of the Lord into the Dispensation of the Kingdom to be transformed, and to enter into the Kingdom of God physically with eternal, glorified bodies, like the one of the Lord Jesus Christ, to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and then to the Millennial Kingdom».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say in the message [“THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD”]:
[WSS] And then when they had to enter the promised land, we find that Moses had divided - before crossing over to the other side of the Jordan, he had already divided the territory to two and a half tribes; but he couldn’t cross over to the other side because he had smitten the second rock, twice... two times, and God had told him to speak to that rock, so that the rock would give him water [Numbers 20:1-13, 27:12-14].
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There’s another writing here, in a portion that was placed in a Bible study, the portion of the message “ADOPTION”; on page 30 of that message says…, and there on the side, he writes… Brother Branham says:
[60-0518 - “Adoption #2,” p. 4, para. 19]
19 But now, on forward. Then did you notice Moses, that great miracle performer that brought down Israel down through the land, and brought them up to the promised land, but did not place their inheritance to them? He did not give them their inheritance; he led them up to the land, but Joshua divided the land to the people ([JBP] On the side he writes): [WSS] «Moses = Jesus / Joshua = the Holy Spirit». Is that right? And Christ brought the Church up to the place to where their possession was made to them, was given to them, just the Jordan to cross, but the Holy Spirit is the One Who sets the Church in order. The Joshua of today puts the Church in its order, giving to each one, gifts, places, position. And He is the Voice of God speaking through the inner man that Christ has saved, the Holy Spirit. Now do you get that much of it? Now we’re getting over into the Book of Ephesians. Now, the same way, He’s positionally placing the Church where they belong.
[JBP] Notice, and we belong where? To the Age of Cornerstone. That is where the Holy Spirit has placed us.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, our brother William continues to say [“THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD”]:
[WSS] And now, Moses ([JBP] because of what he did), could not cross over to the promised land. But Moses, being such a noble man, who loved the people of God so much, the people that God had placed under his ministry, asked God to give him a leader who would enter it and go before the people and take the people into the promised land, and thus continue the work that Moses had begun. And God told him who that man chosen by God was, he told him (God told him):
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] That is there in Numbers…, let’s see…, Numbers 26 or 27, let’s see. Numbers 27, verse 15, says:
Numbers 27:15
15 And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
[JBP] And there on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he also writes on the left: [WSS] «To be not as a sheep which has no shepherd».
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua ([JBP] and there above “Joshua” he writes): [WSS] «YHWH» the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Notice, in Joshua as well, chapter 3, there it shows us; verse 7 of Joshua, of this 3rd chapter, it says:
Joshua 3:7
7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel…
[JBP] There he draws a Star of David on the left, and on the right another Star of David.
And he writes: [WSS] «By crossing the Jordan = by being transformed today».
7 …This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
[JBP] And above that he writes: [WSS] «Zech. 3: , Rev. 11:3-7, 7:2».
And he writes there above “Moses”: [WSS] «1st Moses».
And “so I will be with thee” above that, also: [WSS] «Joshua = 2nd Moses».
[WSS] «Joshua = and 2nd Moses»
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now also in a writing he left us here…, where he writes:
[WSS] «Moses = forerunner of Joshua.
Joshua = Christ – 1st Coming.
Joshua = Christ – 2nd Coming.
Joshua = the Messenger of the Last Day».
And further down as well, there he writes: [WSS] «The sign [evidence] of the promised land is the Son of Man».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD”]:
[WSS] Who was Joshua? Joshua was Moses’ main helper, who was before the armies of the Hebrew people; and he was also the one who remained in the temple, in the tabernacle, even though Aaron was the high priest.
It was a blessing, privilege and joy, for Moses to see that the one elected by God to continue with the work that Moses was carrying out and to bring the people into the Promised Land, was one of his helpers, he was someone who already knew how to work in the Work of God, he knew the people, and he knew how to win the battles that the people had to fight, because he had already been trained; and he was Moses’ helper (one of the helpers). It is always good that the one who continues the work of the person, of the minister whose days end here on Earth, be one of the helpers.
[JBP] A few hours ago this morning…, was it this morning?, that he departed… was it this morning? Or last night? The minister, Reverend Emilio Rafael Arias Torres, pastor from Barranquilla, Colombia, departed; meaning, it was this morning; this morning… he was being operated on for something, and it seems that he couldn’t withstand the surgery. I had gotten to meet our brother Emilio. My condolences to all the congregation there and to all the family of our brother Emilio Rafael Arias Torres, whom we will see soon in his eternal and glorified body.
And the congregation there can wait for - the instructions of Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, to place the pastor there who will continue the Work there in Barranquilla, there with the congregation.
Notice here, our brother William is telling us precisely about this [“THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD”]:
[WSS] It is always good that the one who continues the work of the person, of the minister whose days end here on Earth, be one of the helpers.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There is also a place here, where our brother William wrote to us; he says:
[WSS] «While Moses was alive he passed on the ministerial position to Joshua, who was his successor. Joshua was a prophet like Moses and a head over the people»
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, the quote that we read this morning on page 5-B of the book of Quotations, notice what our brother Branham speaks to us there, and our brother William also writes to us there; on page 5-B, paragraph 51:
[60-0331 - “From That Time,” p. 1, para. 2] [Bible Study #237, 11/Sep/2022 (Sunday), pp. 55-56 / Study “The Entire Claiming Plan,” 24-1/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 7-8 / Bible Study #345, 24-2/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 21-22 / Bible Study #352, 20/Oct/2023 (Friday), pp. 14-15 / Study “Walking with the prophecies and the fulfillment,” 14-1/May/2024 (Tuesday), pp. 18-20]
51 - “[2] I had the privilege, a few moments ago, talking to my wife and my little Joseph, the little boy who I believe that God will let take my place when I’m finished in this life.”
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the seventh age.
“I’m finished,” he makes an arrow towards the seventh age; and the arrow from “little Joseph, the little boy who I,” an arrow there towards the gap.
Now, he writes: [WSS] «Joseph = a type and figure of the 2nd Coming of Christ» (above).
And below he writes: [WSS] «It’s the same as with David’s son: Solomon, in whom Christ was reflected as King. And Joseph (brother Branham’s son) takes the 4th Elijah’s place and he continues with the Message, but he can’t take the 5th Elijah’s place; not him».
[JBP] Now, everything that we have been talking about this morning…; this morning, what was spoken, we’ll put it with this study today, as an introduction*.
*[Study “Blessed is he who does not stumble on// is not offended by the veil of flesh with a new Name,” 8-2/Dec/2024 (Sunday)]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, our brother William goes on to say [“THE FOLD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD”]:
[WSS] And just like Moses was glad and all the people were glad too…; they already knew Joshua, ([JBP] meaning, he wasn’t a stranger) and they knew that he was a good, brave man, a hard worker in the Work of God, and that God was with him.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, also in another writing, our brother William tells us:
[WSS] «Joshua being magnified = the Holy Spirit and the Angel of the Last Day being magnified after the transformation and reign in the Millennium».
«Joshua = the Holy Spirit».
«Joshua = the leader of the Last Day».
«The Jordan – brought death, to cross on dry ground».
«To be transformed without seeing death».
«The promised land – the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the glorified body and the Millennium».
[JBP] And also in another writing here, he says:
[WSS] «God magnifies Joshua in spirit in His Angel, since the day he crosses the Jordan, death, on dry ground, without seeing death. He receives the adoption, the transformation of the body. There he is magnified, glorified».
«Moses = Christ Jesus. The crossing of the Red Sea: Jesus Christ crossing over to the other side of death, He overcame it, and resurrected glorified and magnified by God».
«Joshua = Christ in His Angel crossed over the Jordan on dry ground».
[JBP] All of these are on post-it notes, on little yellow pieces of paper.
Now notice how that successor of Moses, whose name was changed by God through Moses, he named him Joshua [Numbers 13:16]; a name that he heard when He told him those four consonants there: YHWH [Exodus 3:13-14].
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “THE GOSPEL WILL RETURN TO THE JEWS,” preached on September 14, 2014, in Cali, Colombia, it tells us:
[Message from Sunday’s study, May 19, 2024]
THE GOSPEL WILL RETURN TO THE JEWS Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, September 14, 2014 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
[P. 10] Perhaps not everyone’s names work in other languages, but the Name of Jesus works in all the languages on Earth, and even in Heaven too; because in all languages, what It means is: Savior, Redeemer.
And when He says: “And I will write upon him the Name of My God, and the Name of the City of My God, which is New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from my God, and My New Name.” That is Revelation chapter 3, verse 12.
[And] If the Name of God for Salvation, for Redemption, was mysterious in the First Coming of Christ, the Name of God to Claim will be even more mysterious in the Second Coming of the Lord; but we will leave that alone for now.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, on page 131 of the book of The Seals, our brother Branham tells us… starting from page 130 [p. 150 in Eng. (First Seal)] he tells us:
[275] Did you ever know that the Name of “Jehovah” is not correct?
[JBP] There he writes the… above “anyone,” there on that corner he writes: [WSS] «JVHU».
And on the left, he writes: [WSS] «YHWH», there in that paragraph.
[275] Anyone knows. Dr. Vayle, you know that’s true. The translators could never translate It. It’s spelled J-u-h-v…J-v-h-u, I mean. It isn’t “Jehovah.” They couldn’t touch It. They don’t know what It is. Called It “Jehovah,” but it wasn’t His Name.
276 Look, every time a victory is won, or something goes on, a name is changed.
277 Look at the days of Abraham. He was, first, Abram, and never could have that baby until his name was changed to Abraham. And Sarra, S-a-r-r-a, could not have nothing but a dead womb until her name was changed to S-a-r-a-h.
[JBP] There they put - he put an [WSS] «H» at the end [S-A-R-A-H].
278 Jacob means “supplanter, deceiver,” and that’s what he did. He put sheepskin on hisself, and deceived his prophet father, to take the birthrights. He put poplar sticks in the water, speckled them, scare the cattle when they was pregnated with the…with their young, to make speckled cattle and sheep. Nothing but a deceiver!
279 But one night he caught a hold of Something real, and he knowed It was real. And he stayed with It, and held on until he overcome. And his name was changed, and called Israel, meaning “a prince with power before God.”
280 Is that right? Every overcomer!
[JBP] He writes there on the side, going downward, across:
[WSS] «Name change for the one who obtains the victory in Divine Love».
280 Is that right? Every overcomer!
281 Simon was a fisherman. But when his faith caught and knowed that was Jesus, when He told him He was the Messiah, and told him who his name was and what his father’s name was, he was overcome, and changed from Simon to Peter.
[JBP] Here at the bottom, in the book, there he writes…, which he was speaking about above, in this… in the blue one, he writes below, at the bottom: [WSS] «Y H W H».
And then in between he puts: After the «Y» he puts the [WSS] «e»; after the «H» the [WSS] «o»; and after the «W» the [WSS] «a».
That was how they made it for the translation. But we saw everything that our brother Branham tells us there: that this is not His Name, but to make it pronounceable.
Now, he continues to say:
282 Saul, good name. Saul, was a king one time in Israel, but he, a Saul, didn’t fit an apostle. Might be all right for a king, but not an apostle. So Jesus changed his name (from what?) from Saul to Paul.
Look at “The sons of thunder,” and on down.
283 And, Jesus, His Name on earth was “Redeemer,” Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.
284 It’ll be revealed in the Thunders ([JBP] there on the right, he writes): [WSS] «Revealed in Thunders / New Name». Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding…There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, “No man knowed, but Himself.” Now, notice, “No man knowed, but Hisself.”
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God.
Oh, my! Notice!
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written ([JBP] that is, on His thigh: on His flesh), KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[Revelation 19:13-16]
285 There comes the Messiah. There He is…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice what our brother Branham was telling us in the message “SHALOM,” on page 31; he says:
[64-0112 - “Shalom,” pp. 25-26, para. 156-158] [Bible Study #319, 25/June/2023 (Sunday), pp. 20-22]
156 The same thing, Jesus. He was taken from the pit, supposingly where He was dead, and raised up and sits at the right hand of the Majesty. “No man has seen God at any time, but the only Begotten of the Father. And when He leaves there, the trumpets will sound, and every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess.” See, He’s the Prince of prosperity ([JBP] there on the left he writes): [WSS] «Joseph». Look what Egypt done then, it saved the whole world, a drought come on. So, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man. The knee, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess to Him being.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left.
157 He was all showed in types, but God knew exactly when He would come. He knowed exactly when He come. No matter how many they had before that, He had His Messiah. He showed them in types, what was coming.
158 Just exactly like He showed us the Seven Church Ages, what would come ([JBP] and there he draws another Star of David on the left). Just exactly what He showed us what would come when He set that Light up there, in revelation to it, to show the world ([JBP] that was the sign of the Son of Man; at the top he writes): [WSS] «The 7 angels revealed». When He sent the seven Angels to reveal the seven messengers that had been down through there, and show the loose ends, each Angel coming each day and revealing the loose ends that Luther left, and Wesley left, and Pentecost left, is all represented in there. And in the very type and shadow of the great Shalom, Jehovah, Yahweh. See? Exactly. Throwed It in the skies…
[JBP] And there he draws the Star of David on the left.
And underneath the Star of David he writes: [WSS] «JHVU».
And he draws another Star of David.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Which, here this message, he had a card, and there’s another one, but let’s turn to this one. We had already shown this one, but so that you can see it as I read. Now look, he writes there:
[WSS] «In the and to the Most Holy Place of His Temple, His Church, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Year of Jubilee of the Age of the Cornerstone (and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, the last two: the sixth and the seventh), the Messiah comes with the Name of God in him. His name will be the Name of God. It is in His Angel».
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «YHWH».
In «YH» he writes: [WSS] «I»; and in «WH» he writes: [WSS] «Am».
And notice, in parenthesis, from right to left, he writes: [WSS] «(YHWH)»: if you read it left to right, it would be: [WSS] «(HWHY)».
And on the side, notice, he writes there: [WSS] «I will be»; and in parenthesis: [WSS] «(The Being)».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, now let’s turn to page 230 [p. 211 in Eng.] of The Ages edited book, let’s see something there what is 232 here of this book, page 230 which is 232 says:
It also says here that He is going to give the overcomer a white stone and in ([JBP] and he underlines “in”) (not on) the stone a new name ([JBP] meaning, and on the Stone a new Name), which the owner alone knows. Now the idea of a new name is a familiar one. Abram was changed to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, Jacob to Israel, Simon to Peter, and Saul to Paul. These names either brought about a change, or were given because of a change. It was only after Abram and Sarai had their names changed by the Lord that they were made ready to receive the coming son. In Jacob’s case, he had to overcome and then he was called a prince. In the case of Simon and Saul, when they had received the Lord, their change came. And today each one of us true believers has had a change in name. We are Christians ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «dispensation name». It is a name common to all of us. But one day we will have another change; we will of a certainty receive a new name ([JBP] and above that he writes): [WSS] «in the adoption — the Father’s». It could well be that name was our true and original name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life from the foundation of the world. He knows the name, but we do not. One day ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «8th Day» at His good pleasure, we will know also.
[JBP] Now, in this other book, at the bottom he writes:
[WSS] «In the Dispensation of Grace — Christians (Ms. Jesus)».
(Meaning, «Miss…» the “J,” what he writes is the “J”).
[WSS] «In the Dispensation of Grace — Christians (Ms. J)» (the “J” of Jesus).
[WSS] «In the Disp. of the Kingdom — ? The New Name of the Lord».
In other words, what are they called? They were Christians. Well, now they will also be called a certain way.
And on the side: [WSS] «The New Name of the Lord», notice.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, at what he continues to tell us in this message that we are reading “THE GOSPEL WILL RETURN TO THE JEWS” (I will repeat that paragraph):
[WSS] [P. 10] If the Name of God for Salvation, for Redemption, was mysterious in the First Coming of Christ, the Name of God to Claim will be even more mysterious in the Second Coming of the Lord; but we will leave that alone for now.
But there will be no contradiction in the Name that was given to Moses as the Name of God [Éxodus 3:13-14], which is: I am or YHWH. There will be no contradiction between that Name and the Name Jesus and the New Name of the Lord.
[JBP] See? There will be no contradiction in that. Now, that is why I said to you that…, what was spoken this morning goes together with all of this.
[WSS] But we will leave that alone, because that will be opened when the Seventh Seal is opened to the Church. And then the Hebrew people will see Him coming with a New Name…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 41 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 334, it tells us:
[60-1204M - “The Revelation Of Jesus Christ,” pp. 46-47, paras. 334-335] [Study “Joseph is yet alive,” 18/Mar/2024 (Monday), pp. 48-49]
334 - “334 Oh! Oh, Joseph, when he seen little Benjamin standing there! ([JBP] he writes on the side): [WSS] «Joseph» That’s his little brother. You see little Benjamin now up…?…over yonder, setting over there? The tribes of the—of the earth, of the Jews, returned back there where there’ll be a hundred and forty-four thousand of them standing there, to receive Christ when they see Him Coming. They’ll say, ‘Lo, this is our God Who we’ve waited on.’ Then they’ll see the pierced…’Where did these comes?’ He said, ‘In the house of My friend.’
335 And they’ll wail and they’ll cry. And each family, their tribes of David and Nepthalim and all, will separate themselves, each family, and weep to themself when they see Him standing in the air…”
[JBP] And on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 4:1».
334 - “[335] …when they see Him standing in the air, the One they pierced.”
And at the top he writes: [WSS] «The Jews will see Christ come and will say: “This is our God”».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “HEBREWS, CHAPTER TWO,” that is, part II, which is in the booklet “Conduct, order and doctrine of the Church,” this is booklet number 6; here on page 324 he tells us, this is from paragraph 531:
[57-1002 - “Questions And Answers On Hebrews Part 2,” pp. 34-35, paras. 531-540] [Bible Study #305, 7/May/2023 (Sunday), pp. 38-41, 44 / Bible Study #349, 8-2/Oct/2023 (Sunday), pp. 55, 62-64]
531 They said to them—them Jews, they said, ‘Are you coming back to die in the homeland.’
532 Said, ‘We are coming back to see the Messiah ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David on the left). Where’s He at? He’s supposed to be here.’
533 Brother, when you see the fig tree putting forth its buds, He said, ‘This generation shall not pass until all be fulfilled.’ Look at the revival with the formals. Look at the revival with the Church. Look at the revival coming in with the Jews, they’re watching for the coming of Messiah ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone on the right). The Church, the Spirit-filled Church, the Bride with the…the virgins with the oil in their lamps will go into the Wedding Supper.
534 The Jews will say, ‘This is that. There’s our God ([JBP] and he writes on the right): [WSS] «This is Him» who we’ve waited on ([JBP] and on the left he draws a Star of David).’ There’s where your hundred and forty-four thousand… that Russellites got mixed up in. There’s those Jews standing there that will receive Him. They said, ‘There’s our God who we’ve waited on.’ They’ll see Him, say, ‘Where did You get them? Where’d You get them scars in Your hand?’
535 He said, ‘I got them in the house of My friends.” That’s right, “The house of My friends.’
536 What will He do? The Gentile Church will be taken into Glory and the Bride will be married to Christ.
537 How did Joseph make hisself known to his people? He dismissed every Gentile from his presence ([JBP] he writes there on the side): [WSS] «Joseph». He certainly did. What will happen to the remnant of the woman’s seed? ([JBP] There he writes): [WSS] «Rev. 12» The dragon spurted water out of his mouth to make war; Jesus said, ‘they’d be cast into outer darkness, and there’ll be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth,’ the great hours of persecutions and trials will come to the Gentile church.”
[JBP] There he draws a Star of David on the left.
538 What will take place then? When the martydom comes, when God has separated everything from them Jews yonder ([JBP] when God has what? Has separated. That is a work of the Reaping Angels, the ministries of Moses and Elijah), Jesus will return as Joseph did. ([JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the right). When they heard Joseph, when he dismissed all of his guards and everything else, and he seen little Benjamin and them standing there, and them repenting for killing Joseph. They thought they’d killed Joseph, and here he was standing before them. He said, ‘I’m Joseph. I’m your brother.’
539 Then they really trembled, ‘He’s Joseph. Now we know him.’
540 When He’ll say, ‘I’m Jesus.’”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Above that, in a Bible study, he, our brother William, writes:
[WSS] «YHWH = I AM = YO SOY».
[JBP] That is, they placed that excerpt here for him, which I’m reading in this study.
540 When He’ll say, “I’m Jesus. I’m the Messiah.”
[WSS] «YHWH = I AM = YO SOY».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look in the message “THE TRUE VINE,” preached March 1, 1992 in San Jose dos Campos, Brazil, look what our brother William tells us here in this small part, he says:
THE TRUE VINE Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, March 1, 1992 São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brasil
And we find that that Pillar of Fire, when he was talking to Moses, said to him: “I Am that I Am.” And thou shalt say unto the people: “I Am hath sent me.” [Éxodus 3:13-14]
[JBP] What we were speaking about. Notice, he heard the pronunciation of the Name, yet he went there saying: “I Am has sent me to you.” It’s like saying: “William has sent me to you.”
Now, notice:
[WSS] But when he appeared to Saul of Tarsus…
[JBP] Remember that that is... remember that that was in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, notice, He then comes in His First Coming with the name that Moses named his successor, which was Joshua.
And notice, he says:
[WSS] “I Am hath sent me.” But when He appeared to Saul of Tarsus, and he asked for His Name, He told him: “I am Jesus.” [Acts 26:15] There He put the I Am, and then He concluded by telling him: “Jesus.”
Now, to Moses He said: “I Am that I Am.” To Saul he said: “I am Jesus.” Which was, which is, and which is to come [Revelation 1:8, 4:8].
[JBP] Now, did you see it? Now notice, with that He said to Moses, who then names him the name that he heard (which, we are going to read how brother William tells us there), he names him the name the pronunciation, as he heard it he gives it to Joshua, to Oshea the son of Nun; and that name comes to be the Name of redemption, notice, in His First Coming. That is why he says that [WSS] “there will be no contradiction between the name Jesus and the New Name.”
Now notice, here on the side, he writes, next to [WMB] “When He’ll say, ‘I’m Jesus. I’m the Messiah,’” he writes: [WSS] «I’m Jesus, I’m the Messiah», he writes on the side there, here in the booklet.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother Branham continues to say [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEBREWS PART 2] [P. 35]:
541 They’ll say, “Oh, my, now what we’ll receive!”
542 It was all done for the glory of God. It won’t be He’s…Well, they could hear him weeping plumb over in Pharaoh’s palace, Joseph weeping for them.
543 Wait till Jesus sees those Jews that He had to smite blind to let us Gentiles have a chance to come in, that’ll be an hour, I’m telling you. He’ll take those Jews, don’t you never worry, them Jews will be saved. Yes, sir, there’s got to be there. And that’s my idea of it, I can’t see it no where else in the Scripture. You got to keep them three together, again.
[JBP] And we find all of this a little more detailed in the message “THE ANOINTED ONES AT THE END TIME,”* of our brother Branham.
*[65-0725M - “The Anointed Ones At The End Time”]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the Scripture of Genesis 45, from 1 to 8, which is the one they placed for him there in a Bible study; Genesis 45:1, says:
Genesis 45:1
1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
[JBP] Now notice, here in this writing, in this Bible study:
2 … and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph ([JBP] and he writes above): [WSS] «YHWH»;
[JBP] See that there is no contradiction between the name Jesus and the name Joseph? As simple as that.
Now notice, it says:
3 … doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
[JBP] Now, He no longer reveals Himself to them only as the I Am, but rather He reveals Himself in the Dispensation of the Kingdom: “I am Jose”; just as He told Saul in the Dispensation of Grace: “I am Jesus.”
Now, he writes there: [WSS] «He reminds them of the history of His Coming his selling».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, our brother William continues to say [“THE GOSPEL WILL RETURN TO THE JEWS”]:
[WSS] [P. 11] And then the Hebrew people will see Him coming with a New Name; for they didn’t [receive] recognize Him with the Name of Jesus or Yeshua, but they will recognize Him with the New Name. But that is a mystery that will be opened under the opening of the Seventh Seal of Revelation chapter 8, verse 1 and on.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look at what it tells us in Isaiah, in chapter 44, verse 1 to 6:
Isaiah 44:1
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
[JBP] There he draws a Star of David on the right.
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
5 One shall say, I am the Lord’s ([JBP] he writes there, above “Lord’s”): [WSS] «YHWH»; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob ([JBP] above “Jacob” he writes): [WSS] «Hebrews»; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
[JBP] And above that he writes: [WSS] «Church-Bride».
And he draws a Star of David on the right.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this other message, it tells us there…, in the message “THE THINGS WHICH MUST HAPPEN TODAY WHILE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REMAINS ON THE THRONE OF INTERCESSION,” which was preached Sunday, November 11, 2001, here in Cayey, Puerto Rico, it says:
THE THINGS WHICH MUST HAPPEN TODAY WHILE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REMAINS ON THE THRONE OF INTERCESSION Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, November 11, 2001 (Second activity) Cayey, Puerto Rico
Now, we have come to the time when at any moment the number of God’s elect will be completed, Christ will leave the Father’s Throne, and at that time there will be or at the beginning or already in the midst of its fulfillment, will be the squeeze which is prophesied by God through Reverend William Branham and through the Scripture; but by that time Christ in all His fullness will be manifested in the fulfillment of the Third Pull, and by that time the fullness of Christ will be manifested in His Church and this manifestation of the power of Christ will be so great that it will shake the whole world.
That is connected to the Tent Vision, which will not be a public show, and of which the Angel said to our brother Branham: “You won’t tell anyone anything about this.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In 4-A of the book of Quotations, there it shows us of the portions in where brother Branham, talks to us about this there; it says… page 4-A, paragraph 36:
[56-0219 - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” p. 6, para. 19] [Study “Forgiving sins,” 4/Jan/2023 (Wednesday), pp. 8-10 / Bible Study #385, 11-3/Feb/2024 (Sunday), pp. 26-27]
36 - “[19] He said, ‘You’ve done just what I told you not to do, standing on the platform, and trying to explain it, and telling the people, and I told you to keep it to yourself.’ And said, ‘Look what you’ve done. Look at the carnal impersonations you got rose.’ See? And I hear people say that.
And I hear people say, ‘Brother Branham, oh, the Lord’s give me a ministry.’ You got probably greater…?…Yeah. But just like that? No. Never will be as long as I’m on earth. He told me that in the beginning, never will be (See?) as long as I live. Now, He told me that. And I hear people say that, and I know it’s wrong, but I just don’t want…?…how to tell them that.”
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Not as long as he is on Earth», there on the right going upwards.
And he also writes: [WSS] «The Tent Vision / The 2 Pulls».
[WSS] «The Tent Vision», and below… He refers to the two pulls that he is saying that he could not say, but he said them; and to the Tent Vision, which, in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision that Third Pull was to be taking place. Which, the Name would be in all the stages (now we are going to…, we are going to read it in a bit now). In other words, it says that the name William is going to be in all the stages. The I Am.
Now notice, he says - he writes there (he also writes): [WSS] «Don’t tell anyone. I told you to keep it to yourself and to not tell anyone, nor preach it».
In other words, that he should not preach it.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“THE THINGS WHICH MUST HAPPEN TODAY WHILE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REMAINS ON THE THRONE OF INTERCESSION”]:
[WSS] You’re not going to do like you did with the other pulls ([JBP] meaning, with the First and the Second), that you told them to the people and said how they worked, and then imitators arose.” For the Third Pull there will be no imitations, it will be in a reserved way, it won't be a public show so no one can imitate; and it’s connected to a name.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 99 of the book of Quotations, where it shows us that…, this is an excerpt from the Seventh Seal; but look at what our brother William writes to us there; paragraph 857:
[The Seals, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 543, paras. 259-260] [Bible Study #335, 20/Aug/2023 (Sunday), pp. 39-40 / Bible Study #385, 11-3/Feb/2024 (Sunday), p. 25 / Bible study #406, 26/Apr/2024 (Friday), p. 11]
857 - “259 Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He’ll try to impersonate everything that the Church will do. He’s tried to do it. We notice it, through the antichrist.
260 But this is one thing he cannot impersonate ([JBP] that is, the Third Pull). There’ll be no mimics to this, see, ’cause he don’t know It. There’s no way for him to know It. It’s the Third Pull.”
[JBP] And he writes above: [WSS] «The 7th Seal is the 3rd Pull».
[WSS] «Satan will impersonate — he did it in the ages».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look at what our brother William continues to say [“THE THINGS WHICH MUST HAPPEN TODAY WHILE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REMAINS ON THE THRONE OF INTERCESSION”]:
[WSS] That’s why when Reverend William Branham was in that Third Pull in the Tent Vision, he saw something there with a name, and when he woke up he was looking for that name. And the Angel said to him later, “Do you remember the name that you were looking for when you had the Tent Vision?” [56-0219 - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” pp. 7-8, para. 211] In other words, it is connected to the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Eternal Name of God, YHWH, in the way that corresponds to its pronunciation for this end time.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this Bible study, where he also wrote there, in this subject, which, the subject was also similar to the one that we will be seeing today, this one was on January 26, 2009, which was titled: “THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND HIS NEW NAME,” and above that he writes:
[WSS] «In a Tent Cathedral, Most Holy Place today: YHWH».
And he draws an arrow towards the Cornerstone and the ages.
And he also writes here in this study, here on page 4 of this study he writes: [WSS] «It’ll be revealed in the Thunders…».
Because he comes talking about page 131 of the book of The Seals in the page that we read a few minutes ago where brother Branham ends there in that part that says [WMB] “It’ll be revealed in the Thunders,” and brother William writes there:
[WSS] «It’ll be revealed in the Thunders, which is the Voice of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, coming to His Church, walking upon peoples, nations and tongues: upon the waters; and in the continent of the Americas: His foot on the earth».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, what he quoted to us there, where the Angel told him: “Remember the Name that you were searching for when you dreamt about that - about it?” which is on page 39 to 40; on 40 already, which is the continuation of paragraph 321, there is that part where he says…, it says [Quotations]:
[56-0219 - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” p. 8, paras. 23-24]
321 - “[23] And I said, ‘I don’t understand that in there.’ ([JBP] that is, why in the little room? In there?)
24 And watch, He’s always Scriptural. He said, ‘Did not our Lord say, “When thou prayest be not like the hypocrites that like to make a show.” Said, “Enter into the secret closet, and when you’ve done so, close the door. Then pray to your Father what seeth in secret and He that seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”’
And He said, ‘You remember that name that you were hunting that time that you dreamed about?’
And I said, ‘Yes.’
He said, ‘I’ll meet you in there and this time it won’t be a public show.’”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this other message “YOUTH BREAKING BARRIERS IN EVANGELISM WITH THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST AT THE LAST DAY,” it tells us, which was preached April 30, 2002 in Topo Chico, Monterrey, Mexico, it tells us:
YOUTH BREAKING BARRIERS IN EVANGELISM WITH THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST AT THE LAST DAY Dr. William Soto Santiago Monday, April 30, 2001 (Second activity) Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
The First Coming of Christ is in the context of the Name YHWH, and so is the Second Coming.
That is why - there is something dual in that Name, there is a duality, which is the simplest thing: the First and Second Coming of Christ are in that Name. Furthermore, the New Name is there in that Name.
Let’s leave it at that… let’s leave it at that, because otherwise what we had as a subject, where… we wouldn’t be able to attend the ministers’ meeting anymore; but someday, well, that will be completely opened.
[JBP] And this is the day!
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, on page 140… Meaning, it’s in this dispensational day, this day of the Age of the Cornerstone, page 140… Now, all of this, brother Branham told us —in the message “THE RAPTURE”*— which is a revelation. Now, look, on page 140, paragraph 1258, there it tells us [Quotations]**:
*[65-1204 - “The Rapture”]
**[65-0117 - “A Paradox,” pp. 5-6, paras. 34-41] [Bible Study #278, 3/Feb/2023 (Friday), pp. 14-19]
1258 - “34 But when I opened the Bible, the first little ribbon in the Bible was a very strange thing, where it was. Was when Solomon dedicated the temple of God, and the Glory of God was so great, the Shekinah glory in the building, till the priests couldn’t even minister.
35 And then the next string was laying where Ezra returned and dedicated the temple.
36 And the third little marker, that my wife had gotten me and put in the Bible, not knowing, with my name on it, and so…”
[JBP] There on the right he draws a Star of David.
And going upwards he writes: [WSS] «The Name on it».
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The Pillar of Fire» (going upwards).
1258 - “[36] … and so forth, was laying to Mark 11:22…”
[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «Mark 11:22».
At the top he writes: [WSS] «The Name».
And he writes: [WSS] «William in Mark 11:22».
1258 - “[36] She just stuck it in the Bible, and that’s where it was at, that, ‘If you say to this mountain, “be moved.”’ And all of you know when that Scripture was in my mind, you tape people, that’s when those squirrels come right in, into the—the...That’s exactly.
37 And then the strange thing of it was, my favorite bird, robin, picture was on the marker, the little bird with the red breast. (...)”
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «the squirrels» (also on the right going upwards).
1258 - “38 And then my first meeting, Message I’m to preach in here, is at Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is something that can raise up out of nothing. That’s what God does. He takes nothing, raises up something ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David on the right) out of it.
39 And my Message this afternoon, is titled, for the next thirty or forty minutes, ‘Paradox.’”
[JBP] At the top he writes: [WSS] «Phoenix».
And he writes (underneath): [WSS] «Jericho = in the West».
And at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «Something would rise up out of Phoenix».
1258 - “[39] And I want to read from a Scripture that…
40 Few years ago, that, I would take a Bible, and let you hand me the Bible, when I first started my ministry; and just take your Bible, and many of you have seen me do it, just hold it open like that, and say, ‘Lord, where is the Message to me?’ It opened to Joshua, the 1st chapter, any Bible that you would hand me.
41 Until one night a vision came, which you are familiar, and I seen that Bible come down from Heaven, and a hand with a collar on a cuff, like this went down the first nine verses of Joshua.”
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the right.
And at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «A collar on a cuff».
There on top of that paragraph he writes: [WSS] «A collar».
And he draws a collar on the left side, that is, a lot of little links forming a collar.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“YOUTH BREAKING BARRIERS IN EVANGELISM WITH THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST AT THE LAST DAY ”]:
[WSS] Don’t break your heads because God already thought of it, He planned it all out, and God already designed it from before the foundation of the world; therefore, what we need is for Him to reveal it in our time, in the way that He has promised to make these things known to us, including that mystery.
[JBP] And we know that we were told that in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision is where all of that would be made known, where it would be revealed. He goes on to say:
[WSS] So, that’s simpler than people imagine, you know what makes it complicated? How complicated people find it to be ([JBP] meaning, how complicated people find that revelation to be). But when you receive this revelation, you will say: “Wow, but this is so simple and we hadn’t seen it!” ([JBP] Notice, when you receive that revelation, he says). But it is so simple that the simplicity there is what makes them not see it.
Well, let’s leave… simplicity is always the veil, what veils any mystery is the simplicity; therefore, let’s leave that alone there.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US,” it tells us on page 12, of this message, 12 at the bottom, says:
[64-0629 - “The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us,” pp. 11-12, para. 79-81] [Bible Study #381, 28-2/Jan/2024 (Sunday), pp. 9-10]
[Study “The Eternal Name of God,” 2/Mar/2024 (Saturday), p. 34 (PARAS. 79-80)]
79 If we could stop here a moment, if it would be possible, and think of that, tonight, of the Message of the hour, the expressed thoughts of Jehovah. “Before the foundation of the world,” we are told, “our names were put on the Lamb’s Book of Life.” Then we can see the two sides, as I first said, why one is odd to the other. It must be that way. It was always. It always has been that way, and it always will be that way. “He was the Word. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.”
80 Now, God, in…back in the days of the Old Testament, we find that after He had appeared to His people, in different forms, He veiled Himself behind old badger skins.
[JBP] There he writes at the bottom: [WSS] «The Throne of God in Heaven is materialized in a man on Earth, and the Name of God is manifested there».
And on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «Throne», above.
[80] We find that, how that Solomon, when he dedicated the temple of the Lord, and these badger skins was hanging there, the veil, how that He came in as the Pillar of Fire and as a Cloud, and went down behind there, and veiled Himself, to the outside world. But, by faith, Israel knew that He was back there ([JBP] and he writes on the left): [WSS] «the Throne». They knew He was there, regardless of what any of the heathen worlds had to say. He was hid from the unbeliever. But the believer, by faith, knew He was back there. They had mercy. And He was at His mercy seat, which was a great secret.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 8:1».
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The Throne».
And a Cornerstone and the ages.
81 You know, in the Old Testament, to enter behind that skin was death.
[JBP] They couldn’t enter, as God told Moses: “Speak unto Aaron that they could not come into the sanctuary at all times;” he told him this because of Aaron’s sons: who entered with strange fire and died [Leviticus 10:1-2].
[81] … to enter behind that skin was death. Now to stay from behind it is death ([JBP] and he writes on the side): [WSS] «veil». Then to enter into His Glory was death. Now to stay away from His Glory is death. That happened, of course, at the renting of the veil at Calvary, when the veil was rent, the old veil. Now to stay out of His Presence is death. Then to enter His Presence was death. See? It changes back and forth, and you must find the Scripture to see what day we’re living in.
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes underneath that: [WSS] «The Throne».
And he also writes: [WSS] «It changes from one form to another».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this same message, on page 21 it tells us [“THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US”] [P. 19]:
[64-0629 “El poderoso Dios develado ante nosotros”, párrs. 144, 148-154] [Bible Study #440, 23/Aug/2024 (Friday), p. 42] [Study “The Church-Bride seeing the Holy Spirit incarnate at the Last Day,” 7/Sep/2024 (Saturday), pp. 121-123]
144 But now, as ever, the skin veil is what catches the traditions. They just can’t believe that that is God making them people act like that. See? It’s because God is veiled in His Church, in skin, skin on It. That’s right. He is hid from the unbeliever, and revealed to the believer. Yes, sir.
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «They stumble on the veil of flesh».
And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And further below, here in this message, on page 21 of “THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US” he says [P. 19]:
[Study “The Church-Bride seeing the Holy Spirit incarnate at the Last Day,” 7/Sep/2024 (Saturday), pp. 121-123 (PARAS. 148-152)]
148 We notice another thing, in the Old Testament. I have the Scripture here, in Exodus. That, the old badger skins, what did it do? It hid the Glory of God from the people. The badger skins; even people couldn’t see It, because it was a skin that held It. The skin was…The Glory of God was behind the skin.
149 And now the Glory of God is behind your skin. That’s right. And the traditions don’t see It. It’s inside the veil, where His Word was.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 10:8-11, 11:3» (which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah).
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The Glory of God hidden by the veil».
150 What was on the inside of that skin back there, the old badger skins?
151 Which, “There was no beauty we should desire It. And when It was made flesh and dwelt among us, It was still no beauty we should desire It.”
[JBP] There is a message, I believe it’s “THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE SIMPLICITY”..., let me see if I brought it here, where he said that there was no beauty in Him, he says: [WSS] “He didn’t have a title or anything.” (No…; but you can put that message there in the… for reference).
151 Which, “There was no beauty we should desire It. And when It was made flesh and dwelt among us, It was still no beauty we should desire It.”
152 And now the same thing is today. There’s nothing in a man or a woman, that can be desired. It’s what’s in behind there. That’s what it is.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «What’s behind the veil is what’s important».
[152] “Well,” you say, “that fellow, I know he used to be a drunkard. He used to do this.” I don’t care what he used to do. What’s hid behind that skin? What is behind there, that’s what counts. That’s what, the people is blinded. The skin blinds the people. See? They say, “I remember when that woman used to.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s see if I find it here… to have it here. Here it is: it’s “THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE SIMPLICITY,” which was preached on November 3, 1997. Thank you to the brethren who sent it to me. He says:
THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE SIMPLICITY Dr. William Soto Santiago Monday, November 3, 1997 (Third Activity) Olavarria, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Just like when God came veiled in human flesh in the Person of Jesus, notice, what was great was the One who was inside that veil of flesh, but the veil of flesh was simple: a young carpenter of Nazareth.
What greatness is there in a young carpenter, humanly speaking? There is no greatness there, there is no beauty in Him to be desired, He doesn’t have a big title or riches either; but the One who was inside that veil of flesh called Jesus was the great One.
[JBP] See? It was the One who was inside Jesus that was the big One; but they looked and saw a young carpenter. What beauty is there in a carpenter? When they see him working they see him with a cap, a pencil hanging there, an apron, all full of… dirty from the mold on the rods (because one almost always tends to wipe off there), with a hammer on his side. What beauty is there in him? None! But the greatness is what’s inside that veil of flesh.
[“THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US”]
[152] I know what she used to, but what about now?
[JBP] See? They start to point out: “No but this guy,” or “but that girl,” —“They used to be like this, I know what she was.” Yes, but what is he now? They don’t see the change. See? They focus on the past. Which, their past life will then be on their hands.
[152] I know what she used to, but what about now? See?
153 Them skins, that was once on the badger, but now it’s hiding the Glory of God…
[JBP] You… Do you know something? That you hide the Glory of God: there behind that skin! That’s great! “I keep - I hide You, Lord, behind this skin. You are in here, reigning on the throne of my heart! You are here, You are behind here, Lord; no matter what they say about me. I know what is behind this veil!” And you know what is behind your veil!
[153] … got It housed behind it. It was on an animal, but now it’s housing the Glory of God.
154 And so can your skin be changed, tonight, to be made a housing place for God, God dwelling in humanity.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message that we read a few minutes ago, “Conduct, Order and Doctrine,” which is in the message “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEBREWS #2,” there on page 319, of this booklet (in the book, well, it’s page 319, and paragraph 495) it tells us…, let’s turn here… Page 319, paragraph 495, it says:
[57-1002 - Questions And Answers On Hebrews Part 2,” pp. 30-31, paras. 495-515]
495 Now, in this, this great time, the Jews cannot…I asked that rabbi, I said, “Rabbi, would it be hard for you to believe the prophets?”
496 He said, “I believe the prophets.”
497 I said, “In Isaiah 9:6, what did he mean, ‘Unto us a Son is born’? Who was he speaking of?”
498 He said, “He was speaking of the Messiah.”
499 I said, “Then will the Messiah be borned?”
500 “Yes, He’d be borned.”
501 I said, “Then if He’s to be borned, He has a…He’ll have a mother.”
502 “Yes, He has to have a mother. And He has to have a father, too,” he said.
[JBP] I see my mother there; we will see my father soon; and we will also see all our relatives soon, in the resurrection.
503 I said, “Absolutely. And would it be hard for you to believe that that wouldn’t be…that God the Great Jehovah Who opened the Red Sea, could not give birth to this Baby by immaculate birth?” See? There he was.
504 He said, “But you can’t make Him three gods.”
505 I said, “He isn’t three gods.” I said, “What relationship will Messiah be to God?”
506 He said, “He will be God.”
507 I said, “Now you got it. Now you got it, He is God.” That’s exactly.
508 Then he tried to tell me, said, “Well, this man was a thief, this Jesus of Nazareth. He was a thief.”
509 I said, “Rabbi, how was He a thief?”
510 “Well,” he said, “your own scriptures said that ‘He went into the corn field on the Sabbath day, and took the corn.’”
511 I said, “Now, rabbi, you know better…more about the Scripture than that. Your own scripture says that’s legal, ‘It’s lawful for a man to go and eat as much corn as he wants to, but don’t put it in his sack and take it out.’ Your own law, the rabbi.”
512 And he stood there a little bit, he—he—he believed it, ’cause he—he witnessed. He said, after while, he said, “Well, what—what caused John’s eyes…” Said, “How did you do it?”
513 I said, “In the Name of Jesus Christ.”
514 “Uh.” He—he didn’t know; said, “Well, you can’t cut God in three pieces.”
515 I said, “He was the Jehovah made manifest in flesh, Rabbi. He…That’s what He was, He was Jehovah in flesh ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David on the right there). His Own human name, that was the redemption Name, ’cause no other name is given under Heaven that a man can be saved, only through that human redemption Name: the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s right. He was God, He is God, He’ll forever be God, that’s exactly right, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
[JBP] And notice, he writes on the front: [WSS] «Jesus = God’s human name».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message “THE RESULT OF A NAME CHANGE,” which was preached on July 14, 1998, in Puno, Peru, it tells us:
THE RESULT OF A NAME CHANGE Dr. William Soto Santiago Tuesday, July 14, 1998 (Second Activity) Juliaca, Puno, Peru
The same Angel of the Covenant or Angel of the Lord who delivered the Hebrew people through the prophet Moses, came in human flesh in that veil of flesh called Jesus; and He was the Word made flesh in the midst of the Hebrew people, with His name for the Work of Redemption on Calvary’s Cross, and His name was Jesus.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, let’s go to the book of The Ages, let’s see in this one, on page 356 [p. 317 in Eng.], the edited Ages (which is 360 here, in this red one). He writes there… That is, our brother Branham says:
The bride goes wherever the Bridegroom is. She will never be left by Him. She will never leave His side. She will share the throne with Him. She will be crowned with His glory and honor.
“And I will write upon him the Name of My God, and the name of the city of My God.” And what is the Name of God? Well, He was God with us, or Emmanuel, but that was not His given name. “Thou shalt call His Name Jesus.” Jesus said, “I came in My Father’s Name, and you received Me not.” Therefore the Name of God is JESUS, for that is the Name He came in. He is LORD JESUS CHRIST. And what name does a woman take when she marries the man? She takes his name. It will be His Name that is given unto the bride when He takes her to Himself.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, later, on… here it would be 360 (I’m not sure if there it would be 357), where he says: “And I will write my New Name upon him.” 359 or 53? “My New name. When ALL becomes new.” There where… on 354, in the one that you have [The Ages] [P. 318]:
“And I will write my NEW Name upon him.” My New Name. When ALL becomes new, then He will take upon Him a new Name and that Name will be the Name of the bride also. What that Name is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the day when He desires to give that Name forth. Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine.
[JBP] And he writes there, going downwards, on the right: [WSS] «The Thunders reveal the new Name».
And below he writes… there below that paragraph that we read: [WSS] «The new Name of the Lord».
And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And on the left, going upwards: [WSS] «Everything new».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE RESULT OF A NAME CHANGE”]:
[WSS] And now, for the Second Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, of the Angel of the Lord in human flesh in the Last Day, He has a new name that no one knows. That name is the Eternal Name of God and it is the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is YHWH being revealed, manifested, the way in which It must be understood, in which It must be spoken and understood.
[JBP] Notice, that’s why we read earlier that he says that [“THE THINGS WHICH MUST HAPPEN TODAY WHILE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REMAINS ON THE THRONE OF INTERCESSION”]:
[WSS] In other words, it is connected to the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Eternal Name of God, YHWH, in the way that corresponds to its pronunciation…
[JBP] And he tells us here, in this message [“THE RESULT OF A NAME CHANGE”]:
[WSS] … manifested, the way in which It must be understood, in which It must be spoken and understood.
And He has a Work to carry out under that Name ([JBP] which is the Claiming Work); because the content of what He will do is in the name; in other words, that Name has a meaning related to the Work that He is going to carry out.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP,” on page 7 it tells us…, 7 at the bottom, says:
[65-0220 - “God’s Chosen Place Of Worship,” pp. 8-9, paras. 36-41]
36 Now, when a shadow comes across the floor, you can tell whether it’s man, woman, or beast, or whatever it might be, because it casts a shadow upon the floor. And as that shadow gets shorter, the shadow being the negative; and there cannot be a negative without a positive. Therefore, when the positive becomes closer to the negative, the negative is swallowed up in the positive. The shadow and the—and the positive comes together, and that’s what makes it then the positive ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «the negative and the positive».
And if “all the old things,” the Bible said, “in the Old Testament, was shadows of the things to come,” then therefore Christ was the shadow of things to come.
37 So we can see, by the Old Testament types, where He chose to put His Name, and to…for now. Now, as the shadow is a…crosses the floor, I said, is a negative, being a type, so we, the worshippers, also can see the shadows of the Old Testament fading into the positive of the New.
38 Now, all the feasts, the holidays, all the tabernacle, all the wood, everything in the tabernacle, everything typed Christ. All the offerings, all the laws, everything was in type of Christ. We’ve been through it, time after time, here at the tabernacle.
Then we see, by these, that every creed, church, and denomination is left far behind. It’s not even in the race, at all. Every creed, every church, every denomination, is completely left out. There is no place for them at all.
39 Nothing is typed in the Old Testament, or anywhere in the Bible, of the church, but the forced unity of Babel tower. That’s the only thing that types the unity. Because, it was by Nimrod, a wicked man who went out and forced all the little countries to come into one place and this great tower. It was a religious worship, of course, but not considered in the Word of God. So there is where you see denominational religion typed, the tower of Babel, in the Old Testament. Which, this religion was certainly a religion, but not the religion of the Word of God.
40 God has not chosen to put His Name in any denomination. I want the Scripture for it, if it is. I know they claim He has, but He hasn’t. He cannot put His Name in many places, because He said He put His Name in one place. And, that one place, each one of our denomination wants to say they are that place, but it’s contrary.
But where did He put His Name?
41 Now, and, He, what is His Name, first? ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «Name». We’ll have to (Name) find what God’s Name is before we can find what it is He is putting in the place.
Now, we find out that He had many titles. He is called the…He was called “Father,” which is a title. And He was called “Son,” which is a title. He was called “Holy Ghost,” which is a title. He was called “Rose of Sharon,” which is a title. “Lily of the Valley,” a title, “Morning Star.” “Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha,”…
[JBP] Notice, and He said to the Hebrew people: “I Am,” notice.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this other message…, we’re going to pause for a moment there, because here he talks about, in this message: “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP,” he also tells us there…, page 18, look, it says:
[65-1128M - “God's Only Provided Place Of Worship,” p. 15, paras. 109-110]
109 Look at Martha and Mary. When Jesus had come back, after He had taught them this Gospel (the Light of His day, Him being Messiah) ([JBP] there he writes: [WSS] «The Messiah» ([JBP] on the left), He was hated, rejected. Oh, the Pharisees and churches despised Him. But Lazarus had died, the brother which was a bosom friend to Him. He let him lay there; and they sent for Him, He didn’t even come.
110 But watch Martha, her attitude. She said, “Lord, if Thou would have been here.” Give Him His right title: Lord, capital L-o-r-d, Yahweh, Jehovah.
[JBP] He circles “Yahweh,” and underlines it starting from “Lord.”
And on the side he writes: [WSS] «Yahweh».
[110] Glory! “If Thou would have been here, my brother would not have died.” Life and death can’t associate in the same channel, or same house ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «the channel».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Which we read last Sunday, where Sister Hattie Wright… Look, on page 29 of the message “I HAVE HEARD BUT NOW I SEE,” she says there…, that is, brother Branham says:
[65-1127E - “I Have Heard But Now I See,” p. 24, paras. 155-156]
155 And little ol’ Hattie ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «old woman» ([JBP] above that) setting back there, said, “Brother Branham, that’s nothing but the Truth!”
156 She said the right thing! When she said that, the Holy Spirit dropped over in that channel again ([JBP] now, notice what we were reading here) every one of them felt It ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «the channel» ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David. I’m on page 29 of “I HAVE HEARD BUT NOW I SEE”). I raised up, I said, “Sister Hattie, THUS SAITH THE LORD, you said the right word like the Syrophenician woman said. The Holy Spirit’s speaking to me now, and said for me to give you the desire of your heart.”
[JBP] Now look at what we are reading here… Because notice, Life and death can’t associate in the same channel. That’s why when the elect of God enters into eternity, that is, he enters into the Age of Cornerstone, which represents eternity… The seventh age represents the Feast of the Tabernacles, it represents the Millennium.
Now notice, when you enter into eternity, that is, when you fully enter into the Message and you are sent into the Age of Cornerstone: life and death can’t be together there. In other words, you will be transformed around that Word, like what happened with Sarah.
[“GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP”]
[110] “If Thou would have been here, my brother would not have died.” Life and death can’t associate in the same channel, or same house. “Thou would…He would have not have died.”
111 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and Life,” saith God. See? When He said, first, “Thy brother shall live again.”
112 She said, “Yes, Lord, I truly believe that. As a Jewess, I believe that there will be a general resurrection of the dead; and I believe my brother was just as loyal and sincere in worship. And I believe that You are that Messiah, that said in the Bible, because God vindicating His Word in You shows that You’re the Messenger ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the Anointed One» of this hour. You are that Messiah. I believe that You are that Christ that was to come, because Your works testify that God has sent You here to be that Messiah.” Oh, my! Watch the cogs begin to come in place now. See?
[JBP] And there on the right again he writes: [WSS] «The Messiah».
That is, on the right he wrote: [WSS] «The Anointed One» and on the left he wrote: [WSS] «The Messiah».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now let’s continue here where we left off in “GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP.” [P. 9]:
[41] …seven different, compound, redemptive names, and all of them were titles. None of them were names.
But He has a Name.
42 When He met Moses, He had not a Name yet, and He told Moses, “I AM THAT I AM.”
[JBP] He writes on the right: [WSS] «I Am».
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The Name».
[42] And when we see Jesus on earth, speaking in Hebrews the 6th chapter…I beg your pardon, Saint John the 6th chapter. He said, “I AM THAT I AM.” They said, “Why, You’re a Man not over fifty years old, and say that You ‘seen Abraham’?”
43 He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” And “I AM” was the One, the burning bush, the Pillar of Fire that was in the burning bush back in the days of Moses, the “I AM THE I AM.”
44 And now we find out that Jesus said, also, “I came in My Father’s Name, and you received Me not.” Then, the Name of the Father must be Jesus ([JBP] and there on the left he draws a Star of David. And he writes): [WSS] «Name». That’s right. The Name of the Father is Jesus, ’cause Jesus said so. “I carry My Father’s Name. I come in My Father’s Name, and you received Me not.” Then, His Name was Jesus.
And Gabriel called Him Jesus, the prophets called Him Jesus, and He was absolutely Jesus. Before His birth, even the holy prophet called His Name Emmanuel, which is, “God with us.” Then, “God was manifested in the flesh, in order to take away the sin of the world,” and, in doing so, He was given the Name of Jesus. So, Jesus is the Name.
And the Name was placed in a Man; not a church, not a denomination, not a creed, but a Man! He chose to place His Name in Jesus Christ. Now we find out that then He becomes the place of God’s worship, where you worship Him.
45 Ever before He was even born, His Name was called Jesus. It was so important, it was give to His mother by the Angel Gabriel, that His Name would be called “Jesus, Son of God,” what He was.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message “THE ANGEL WHO REVEALS JESUS CHRIST,” which was preached on February 7, 2009, in Lima, Peru, he says:
THE ANGEL WHO REVEALS JESUS CHRIST (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, February 7, 2009 Lima, Peru
Throughout the book of Revelation we find Jesus Christ speaking to His Church and saying to Her: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” It was, is, and will be Christ in and through His Angel speaking to the different messengers and therefore speaking to His Church.
Just as God said to obey the Angel that He sent to them there in Exodus, chapter 23, verses 20 to 23, and to hear His Voice and to not be rebellious to Him because He would not forgive “your transgressions,” why? He said: “For My Name is in Him.” In other words, the Name of God, was where? In the Angel, that Angel is Christ in His heavenly body.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 32 as well, of this message “GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP,” he tells us there on page 32, at the bottom:
[65-1128M - “God’s Only Provided Place Of Worship,” p. 28, paras. 213-214]
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 ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «every son comes in his father’s name», 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, but He put It in Christ the Anointed Emmanuel.
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. 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 ([JBP] that was to Peter). And upon this rock I’ll build My place of worship, and the gates of hell can’t shake It down.” Amen! O living Church of God, stand in firm foundation on Jesus Christ alone. You can sing the song, but if you’re not on Christ the Word, you’re a teetering, faltering sand. “But upon this Rock,” Christ, “My Word.”
[JBP] And there he draws a Star of David, and a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «Who is the Son of Man today?», as a question.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, also right here, on page 35, it tells us [“GOD’S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP”] [P. 30]:
229 “I have chose to put My Name at the door of the house of My worship, for My family will be gathered in there under the Blood; like it was in Egypt ([JBP] and there on the right he writes): [WSS] «Rev. 4:1, 8:1, 19:11-20», anything outside died. And in there there’s no leavened bread! There’s no denominational mixture in It anywhere, My house! My children, borned of My genes!” Amen! Glory to God! “My genes ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «God’s Genes» ([JBP] on the right) are in them! ([JBP] On the left he writes): [WSS] «Christ, the Door». My… I put My Word in them. I’ll write them upon the tables of their heart. That’s My family, the family of the Body of Jesus Christ; the family. And this door you’ll come in, not Methodist, Baptist, or Pentecostal, but in the door where I put My Name.” It ain’t Methodist. God’s Name ain’t Methodist. God’s Name ain’t Pentecostal. God’s Name ain’t Baptist. God’s Name ain’t Catholic. Stay out of the doors then. See? See? See?
230 “But in a place where I choose to put My Name.” Now, there’s not another place in the Bible given where that God ever put His Name, only in Jesus Christ, for He is the Son of God taking the Name of God, and God’s human Name.
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «God’s human name».
[JBP] Notice, for His First Coming. But for His Second Coming, He comes with a New Name.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look [(MM) “THE ANGEL WHO REVEALS JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] That is why when Moses asks the Angel: “When they ask me what His Name is, what shall I answer them?” And the Angel told him, [and] the Lord told him what His Name was by giving him the Name, which is in those four consonants: YHWH.
And now, from Moses, Joshua received the Name: Joshua or Yoshua which means: “Savior.” Moses placed in his servant the Name that he had heard.
[JBP] Remember? What we spoke about earlier.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, on this card, this is where he writes…, he puts the vowels at the top: [WSS] «A - E - I - O - U» and… he writes the vowels, and he writes: [WSS] «vowels».
And then he writes: [WSS] «YHWH», and he writes [WSS] «consonants».
And then he writes there: [WSS] «Jesus», and on the side he writes: [WSS] «in Greek or Latin».
And underneath «Jesus» he writes: [WSS] «YHWH».
And on the «Y» he turns it into a «J». He puts an «E» between the «Y» and the «H». After the «H» he writes a «S». On the «W» he writes a «U», meaning, above that. And after the «H» he writes a «S».
And he writes below: [WSS] «in Latin».
And underneath that he writes: [WSS] «I (meaning, “i” as in a Latin “i”) HVH».
And then below he writes: [WSS] «Y», that is…, and all together there: [WSS] «Yeshua», and he writes: [WSS] «in Hebrew».
And below he writes again: [WSS] «YHWH»; and puts the «Y» as a «J».
And below he writes: [WSS] «I».
And in «WH» he writes: [WSS] «Am».
Later you will see it in the Study, to avoid placing it like this, where anyone can photograph it. And there are other little things there.
But notice how in I Am…, who said to Moses: “I Am hath sent me unto you”; but he heard the pronunciation, and he names his successor: Joshua, the name Joshua.
Now, when he appears to Saul, then he adds “Jesus” after the “I am”: “I am Jesus.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Notice, on one occasion… which, this is on the page… from “STANDING IN THE GAP,” let’s see… It’s in the book of Quotations, where He tells him: “I’ll give you an everlasting sign,” look, there…, we are going to go there for a moment, that’s around page, let’s see…, page 100 or 101, it starts on 101, page 101, paragraph 879:
[63-0623M - “Standing In The Gap,” pp. 33-34, paras. 141-143, 148-153]
879 - “141 And He said, ‘I’ll give you an everlasting sign,’ again. He said, ‘Look westward from where you’re at.’
[142] And I looked, and I just saw a mountain with white caps on it. I said, ‘I don’t know, see no everlasting sign about that.’
143 He said, ‘Your name is wrote all over it. (...)’”
[JBP] And above that he writes: [WSS] «William».
And a Star of David on the left.
879 - “[148] There was seven peaks on top of a mountain, one mountain, that run for several miles. The last mountain before you go into the other country; no more mountains after that.”
[JBP] Now notice, at the top he writes:
[WSS] «The name William would be in all the stages of the 4th Elijah and of the 5th Elijah, for the 3rd Pull of the Tent».
[JBP] Just as the I Am was in all the stages until entering the promised land with Joshua.
The name William would be in the pulls: the First and Second Pulls: it’s the I Am; and also in the Third Pull, but that would then be the I Am…, that is, it would be… William is the I Am.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look at this other writing (I am going to send this one to you, look at this one), where he puts there… Now, remember that he promised all of this would be made known in the Third Pull.
Look, here he writes:
[WSS] «YHWH = I AM I AM (I Am, I am)
I am that I am
(he writes… it’s in English, and then below the 2 sentences in Spanish)
I AM – I AM.
I AM – I WILL BE.
I Am that I Am.
I Am that I will Be».
[JBP] Now notice, in the Old Testament he said “I Am hath sent me to you,” [Exodus 3:14] but then that I Am was manifested in Joshua and brought them into the promised land. That is why it is the First and Second Pulls, the name William is there and in the Third Pull as well, Now look:
879 - “[148] There was seven peaks on top of a mountain, one mountain, that run for several miles. The last mountain before you go into the other country; no more mountains after that.” And it was running from east to the west, the mountain set, and it was snowcapped on top.
149 The first two small peaks, and then a large peak; and then another small peak, and then a larger peak; and then a small peak, and then a great, large, long, snowcapped mountain. And I said, ‘Lord, I do not understand what that means.’
150 He said, ‘How many peaks are there?’
151 I said, ‘There is seven.’
152 ‘How many letters is in your name?’ B-r-a-n-h-a-m, M-a-r-r-i-o-n B-r-a-n-h-a-m.”
[JBP] And brother William writes above that there: [WSS] «William»; above “name” he writes: [WSS] «William».
879 - “153 And there was three outstanding peaks. He said, ‘Those three peaks are the first, second, and third pull. The first one was your first part of your ministry, small hill; then your first pull, pretty high.’ You know, sign in the hand. Then there was a little interval in there, the time that I was taken off from being too tired. Many of you remember it. And then come the discernment, the second pull. Now I’ve had another, about a few years here of just kind of little peaks, see, back like my ministry wasn’t yet, and then come the third one.”
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «The name William / 1st and 2nd and the 3rd Pull».
And above he also writes… and the drawings that were made there - that he made there, the drawings that he made there in the peaks; and he numbered them. We’ve already spoken about that, it’s in the Studies.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look in the unedited book of “THE AGES” (this thick one), there on page 370, there it tells us, paragraph 227:
[60-1210 - “The Philadelphian Church Age,” pp. 44-46, paras. 258-265]
258 Now, what’s the Name of God? Jesus. If you want to jot this down (We’re getting a little late.), “Jesus!” Ephesians 3:15 said, “In Heaven and earth, all is named Jesus,” you see. All right. All right, now. All right:
…and the name of the city of my God, which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: I’ll put on him…(Oh! If you see, it’s all the same Name ([JBP] and on the left he writes): [WSS] «The Name YHWH», you should already caught it. See? See?)…I’ll put on him…the name of the city of my God,…
259 “The City.” He goes ahead and say, “which is the New Jerusalem.” See, the New Jerusalem. “I’ll put on him the New Jerusalem.” Now, the Bride, or the Church, is the New Jerusalem. How many knows that? The Church itself is the New Jerusalem. You believe that?
[JBP] He writes on the left: [WSS] «Church: New Jerusalem».
260 Let’s just prove it. Revelation 21, I think it is, there what I want. All right, let’s look back here so we can show you. The Bible said, “Prove all things,” see. Now, Revelation 21. Oh, listen to this right…this…listen to this, you want to see what this new City of His (God’s Name) is.
And I saw a new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and…first earth was passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «The New Jerusalem is the Church».
261 The new—new Church is the Gentile Church, the Bride. The Bride is a Gentile, and the Gentile has His Name. He took a people out of the Gentiles for His Name’s sake ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the Name» ([JBP] on the left). You believe that?
262 If you don’t believe it, turn to Acts 15:14 and find out. Acts 15:14, if you want to turn over to it just a second, and we’ll…then you’ll…Acts the 15th chapter and the 14th verse, I believe we’ll find it. Now, we’re just about ready at the close. Acts 15, and the 14th verse:
And after that they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken to me:
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name ([JBP] and he writes on the left): [WSS] «YHWH».
Uh-huh. All right, there She is. Oh!
263 Now I think that’s just about pretty near got the last of it, and now we’ll close in saying that this is He.
[JBP] There he writes, notice, here he writes: [WSS] «The book of The Ages (meaning, this book that we’re reading) was edited in the Light of the revelation of the 7 Thunders» (he wrote there).
…and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,…
Which is all the same: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. And the Bride married to Jesus, makes it Mrs. Jesus; and so forth, see.
[JBP] There’s a place where he says: [WSS] «In the Light of the Seals». But notice, later on there’s a place where he says… (let’s see if we can find it), where he says that [WSS] «the Thunders would be…» (it’s in The Seals, there’s a place, but here too), he tells us that [WSS] «it would be revealed in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision», there’s a note here. Notice how God gave him more and more Light; and he kind of crosses out there… Or it should be in the other book; because he has three of these, where [WSS] «it would be revealed in the Tent Vision, the Thunders».
Let’s keep going. Now he goes on to say:
[243] And the Bride married to Jesus, makes it Mrs. Jesus; and so forth, see.
264 There’s some mighty fine women in this building tonight, mighty fine, but there’s one of them that’s mine, she’s got my name. I hope you got that. She’s bearing my name, so will His Bride.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David there.
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «William».
[264] All right:
…I’ll write upon him ([JBP] and he circles the “him.” And on the side he writes): [WSS] «HIM» ([JBP] on the left) the name of my God,…which is the new Jerusalem, which cometh down…or, the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down from God…out from heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
265 I better leave that alone, hadn’t I? All right. Notice, “him” there is singular ([JBP] and he writes on the right): [WSS] «HIM» (and below he writes): [WSS] «singular» Now if you’ll go back to Revelation 2:17 just a minute, just to review it just a second:
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; 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 save he that receives it.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, on page 254 of this same book of “Ages” unedited, paragraph 34, it says:
[60-1208 - “The Thyatirean Church Age,” pp. 6-7, paras. 34-35]
34 And when Jesus overcome, His Name was changed. And He would reveal that Name, “He that would be with Him, overcome as He has, he received a new name; and I’ll reveal My new Name to him.” ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «HIM» (on the right; and on the left a Cornerstone and the ages) See? And every overcomer, I mean, among such as that: them leaders and so forth. Now, all the children of Israel didn’t get their name changed, of course. That’s right. But those high leaders, when they overcome, they had received a new name. See how it dovetails in? Just perfectly.
35 And now we find out that he also got “hidden manna.” Now, hidden manna is typed to the shewbread. The shewbread was for priests alone. That is right. Shewbread was just for the priest. And they…It was a special thing made for the priest, that is, the leaders; and this man overcome. The whole congregation got manna, but he got a hidden (special) manna, or a “special revelation,” ([JBP] he writes on the right): [WSS] «hidden Manna» oh, of who Jesus was, and what about Him, all about Him. See, he got that revelation if he had overcome, to the angel. “Hold fast, for he that…” He had overcome. Addressed to the angel of the church. See?
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And on page 115 [p. 134 in Eng. (First Seal)] of the book of The Seals, there he speaks of the overcomer, notice, to overcome the antichrist is to overcome… Look, page 115:
153 We all know, as Christians, that God swore to David that He would raise up Christ to sit on his Throne, and give Him an everlasting kingdom here on the earth. He did it.
154 And Jesus said, “He that overcomes the antichrist and all the things of the world, shall sit with Me on My Throne, as I have overcome and have sit down on My Father’s Throne.” See?
155 Now, someday He rises from the Father’s Throne, and goes to take His Own Throne. ([JBP] Now, there, it’s already with the New Name.)
156 Now He comes forth to call His subjects ([JBP] See? He carries out a work, which is the Claiming Work). How is He going to claim them? He’s already got the Book of Redemption in His hand. Glory!
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The Throne of the Father. The Throne of the Son».
And he also writes: [WSS] «The overcomers sit on His Throne – the Church and Israel».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now it continues to say here [(MM) “THE ANGEL WHO REVEALS JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] And now, Joshua represents the Holy Spirit leading the people into the promised land, which, He (the Holy Spirit) has been in the midst of His Church, leading His people, delivering them from the rule of darkness and placing them in the Kingdom of Christ, in the promised land: leading them to the baptism of the Holy Spirit to thus be born into the Kingdom of Christ and therefore to eternal life.
[JBP] And at this end time, taking them to the promised land of the new body, and to the promised land of the glorious Millennial Kingdom.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this subject, we have (perhaps) very briefly had these portions of these writings and these portions, in which we have been seeing “THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, remember that all of that… Look at what he tells us… (and let’s hear it from today’s message). All of that is for whom? Look, on page 17 he says [“THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD”]:
THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Monday, January 26, 2009 Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia
[P. 17] But His Coming to His Bride-Church, before the great tribulation, will be a secret that will only be understood, known, by the Bride-Church, by those members of that Bride-Church who will be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; they will have the revelation, the faith, to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and they will know that mystery of His Coming to His Church, the mystery of the Coming of God, of the Angel of the Covenant, to His Church, of the Coming of the Holy Spirit in His last manifestation ([JBP] with a new Name).
[JBP] For those who are going to be transformed, they are going to receive, they are going to understand that mystery of the Name, and that mystery of His Coming, which He said He would come as a thief in the night.
And there is a group here that has received the Angel of the Covenant, the Pillar of Fire, in His final manifestation. We have received Him in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; as it was prophesied, as it was promised, forerun, by Reverend William Branham. And the transformation is for them, for those who love His Coming.
It has been a great privilege and a great blessing for me to be able speak to you on this occasion about this subject that we will be hearing and seeing: “THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD.”
Let’s stand… And there is a song that God gave me years ago but it had never been prepared and it was prepared just a few years ago, which is “The New Name.” I remember that I gave it to him and he told me: [WSS] “Keep it; use it later.” And I found it, the sheet of paper that I gave him; it was in one of the books, I had kept it. I was filled with joy when I saw that sheet of paper with the song, so we can sing it. I don’t know if you have it prepared there with sister Sharon, who has also sung it; and this way we can prepare ourselves to listen to this message which is very, very revealing.
Now remember that it’s by revelation from Above. There is no way that you can see it if it’s not for you. But he that is of God hears God’s Voice and God will continue to open to your understanding, open the Scriptures to you; and what you don’t understand now, God shows us more and more, and gives us more Light; because that is what our transformation depends on.
The Rapturing Faith is in the Thunders; and the Thunders reveal His Coming, the Thunders reveal the Name.
What number is it?
145 - THE NEW NAME
1
Jesus, His Name on Earth was Jesus.
And by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior
we obtain the theophanic body of the sixth dimension.
2
Jesus, Name above every name, for Redemption;
but when He conquered Hell and ascended to Heaven…
He received a New Name for Claiming.
CHORUS
He is the Son of Man at His First Coming.
He is the Son of Man at His Second Coming.
He is the Angel of the Covenant incarnate in a man,
fulfilling the Scriptures promised for the Messiah.
3
His people receiving His Coming on this Last Day.
Being called with the Trumpet of the Year of Jubilee.
We know our position: in the Age of the
Cornerstone.
(Sing CHORUS)
CHORUS
And believing in His Second Coming
and in His Name of Claiming,
Jose is giving us the Faith of Transformation.
(Sing CHORUS)
[JBP] When he was told: [WMB] “Do you remember, do you remember the name you were hunting for?” Today we know what that name is.
That is why it is so, so important, as it was in the First Coming of the Lord, to know what the Name for Redemption was, in order to obtain that theophanic body: by believing in that Name. And for His Second Coming, one is required to believe in a Name.
And we have already seen…, between what was spoken in the morning and now, we put it together, and there we have the full picture; which, I believe that today we have spoken very clearly. And we can understand who it is the One that is carrying out that Claiming Work and what the Name is. Because you might be waiting at the wrong door with the wrong name, and it is not going to produce the transformation for you; and then you are going to say: “But I believe the Message!”
Now, all of that has to do with Rapturing Faith; which, he said that in the Tent, in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, it would be made known; which were all the things where he said to me: [WSS] “You’re going to talk about this there, you’re going to talk about that there, you’re going to talk about this there. And God is going to guide you.”
Now, in that moment…, notice how that ministry grows: from its infancy, and God is leading it, fulfilling what it was said that the Third Pull would be; which was first was going to be the Teaching, the revelation of the Seventh Seal.
Well, “THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD.”
Today was, is one of those days where one feels like one could continue speaking and speaking, and… But let’s leave it at that.
The services, our brother Branham said in the book of The Seals: [WMB] “Teaching services are long.”
Now, every time, as we get closer to that time, to that stage, it gets thinner and thinner and thinner; because this is a sifter. Let’s see how far the Seventh Seal takes us, or continues to take us to the limit; and it gets to a certain point where the last trial there, which is that squeeze…
Look, Peter was tested there; at the end he denied Him; but at this end time the elect will not deny Him, rather they will be there until the end.
Well, “THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE NAME OF GOD.”
Let’s thus leave with us right away our beloved brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
