BIBLE STUDY # 490 – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2025
Second activity
Cayey, Puerto Rico
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good afternoon to all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite in the different countries. There where you are, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, may God bless you all greatly.
Today, Friday, February 14 of this year 2025, our subject is:
ELOHIM’S VISIT TO ABRAHAM’S SEED
AND ITS PURPOSE
(Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Monday, September 27, 2010
Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico
Scripture: Genesis 18:1-33
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And Dr. William Soto Santiago there, used the Scripture of Genesis 18, from 1 to 33; and we turn to Luke, chapter 17, verse 11 on, where it tells us:
Luke 7:11
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, remember what he wrote to us in the Scripture of John, chapter 5, verse 25 and on, where in that Bible study, in that portion of the Scripture where it says:
John 5:25
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God…
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «in flesh».
[JBP] In other words, at this end time, in this Visit of Elohim to the royal seed of Abraham according to faith, is where the Son of Man will be speaking that Voice of Resurrection, and with that Voice of resurrection; and the resurrection and also our transformation will be able to take place.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, it goes on to say… notice, because the Voice of Resurrection was there: in Jesus.
Luke 7:15
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
[JBP] Notice, it will also happen when those of the sixth dimension come; it says that [WMB] “we will take bodies (they told him brother Branham) and then we will eat.”* Here he says that he began to speak, in other words, that is already evidence that he had resurrected.
*[The Seals, “The Fifth Seal,” p. 368, para. 409]
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
ELOHIM’S VISIT TO ABRAHAM’S SEED
AND ITS PURPOSE
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE QUICKENED WORD OF GOD,” which was preached on January 8, 1989, in Cayey, Puerto Rico, Dr. William Soto Santiago tells us:
THE QUICKENED WORD OF GOD
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, January 8, 1989
Cayey, Puerto Rico
That is why Paul said in First Timothy 3:16: “Great is the mystery of godliness (Divinity): God was manifested in the flesh.”
And the prophet Isaiah also said that this Child would be called Immanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us. God clothed in human flesh.
That is why Jesus could say: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He also said that Abraham desired to see His day, and he saw it and was glad. [John 8:56-58]
And how was Abraham able to see Jesus? Abraham was able to see Jesus before Jesus had the body of flesh yet, when He was in His theophanic body.
When God was in theophany, He appeared to Abraham as Elohim, He appeared to him as Melchizedek…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message that our brother Branham preached to us, this message titled: “DISCERNING THE BODY OF THE LORD,” on page 17, Reverend William Branham tells us there:
[59-0812 - “Discerning The Body Of The Lord,” p. 16, paras. 129-133] [Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), pp. 53-55]
129 That Angel of God Who came to Sodom, He come. He’s promised. Remember, that same Angel came. Anyone knows that That was God. It wasn’t that body, because the body was dust.
130 I spoke that to someone, not long ago, that, “That was God,” I said.
131 He said, a minister, he said, “Oh, now, Brother Branham, you don’t believe that Man was God?”
132 I said, “He was God. Abraham said He was. He called Him, ‘Elohim.’ That’s the Almighty God. Him; and two Angels.”
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Elohim went down to Sodom».
He goes on to say:
He said, “Well, you thought He lived in a body?”
I said, “That’s so easy.”
133 We’re made out of sixteen elements; petroleum, cosmic light, and calcium, potash, so forth. God just gathered Him a little handful, He went, “Whew” [Brother Branham blows a loud puff of air to illustrate how God gave the breath of life –Editor]. ([JBP] that is, the editor [in Spanish] noted there that brother Branham went “whew!” Let’s say, he blew); said, “step in there, Gabriel.” Um-hum. “Whew; step in there, Michael.” And breathed one for Himself. Said, “I’ve heard Sodom is about ripe. Let’s go down and see. Let’s go down, ourselves. Abraham has been preaching, and others has been preaching. Let’s go see for ourselves.”
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Elohim, God in a body with Gabriel and Miguel», that is the writing he put there.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE QUICKENED WORD OF GOD”]:
[WSS] When God was in theophany, He appeared to Abraham as Elohim, He appeared to him as Melchizedek: that was God in theophany, the Lord Jesus Christ in theophany, before coming to this planet Earth in a human body, which was already ordained by God in His Program to obtain that human body at the time appointed by God; and when this was fulfilled, then Emmanuel appeared: God among human beings clothed in human flesh. That is Jesus of Nazareth.
Many people have not yet understood this great mystery of Divinity in human flesh; but it is the great mystery of the First Coming of the Son of Man; it is the great mystery of the Redemption of mankind by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. And you and I have been redeemed with the Blood of God manifested in human flesh; the precious Blood of Christ, divine Blood.
Now, that is a great mystery, as the apostle Paul said [1 Timothy 3:16]; that is the great mystery of the Divinity.
[JBP] As is the great mystery of Divinity at this end time as well.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Notice, in the message “PROVING HIS WORD,” Reverend William Branham tells us, on page 26 he tells us:
[65-0426 - “Proving His Word,” p. 25] [Study “The Teaching for the Adoption of the Church at the Last Day,” 6/May/2023 (Saturday), pp. 9-11]
194 Now watch positionally where we’re setting, the world in a Sodom condition. Now notice, “as it was.” Now notice, there was somebody, in that day, watching for a coming promised son. Abraham and Sarah, they were watching for a promised son in Abraham’s group. They was not in Sodom.
[JBP] Now, that is very important, because in the Royal Seed of Abraham is where the promised Son would come; He would not come in the denominations, meaning, there in Sodom.
[194] They was not in Sodom. But just at the moment, the last chapter of the event, just before the promised son came, there were three man came down from Heaven, an Angel…two Angels and God ([JBP] and he writes on the right side): [WSS] «Gabriel and Michael». And they came down and talked with Abraham, under the oak. Is that right? [Congregation says, “Amen!”—Ed.] And two of them went down into Sodom and cried out against the sins of the city. And it was just before the burning of the Gentile world, at that time. All Sodom perished right then. Just a few was pulled out, Lot and his two daughters. His wife never even made it; she turned back.
[JBP] Notice, like many: they turn back, and they don’t keep moving forward, looking at the fulfillment of what God has spoken through His prophets.
It’s like in Reverend William Branham’s time. God took Reverend William Branham; and notice, many have gone back and have - they went back, waiting for him to return; and some still wait for him to return to fulfill what, according to them, he said in the message.
Because in the message that he brought us, notice, there are many places where he says that [WMB] he would ride this ministerial trail*, in other words, the ministerial trail of Elijah for the fifth time; because the one he rode, that trail was in its fourth manifestation.
*[65-1128M - “God's Only Provided Place Of Worship,” p. 1, para. 6] • [65-1128E -“On The Wings Of A Snow-White Dove,” p. 30, para. 225]
Now notice, many took that and they think that he is going to come back again. And the same has happened in our time: many have turned back, and have gone back, waiting for our brother William Soto Santiago to return to fulfill what was spoken, what was prophesied, which would be the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, that Angel who was different from the rest, in the ministry under Tent, bringing the Rapturing Faith; and a group is waiting for him to fulfill that promise.
But Abraham’s seed, at this end time, knows that Dr. William Soto Santiago is going to return, so is Reverend William Branham, and all those who have departed are going to return; but it is in the ministry under the Tent that God at this end time is giving the Rapturing Faith to the Royal Seed of Abraham in order to see those who will resurrect; because otherwise, they won’t be able to see those who will be resurrected.
Because the group that stays behind will not have the Rapturing Faith. And the Rapturing Faith is in the Thunders; and our brother William told us that the Thunders would be given in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, where that messianic ministry would begin there, that ministry of Seventh Seal, bringing the Rapturing Faith to the Church-Bride.
Therefore, we can’t look at those golden calves; like it was back in the time of Jeroboam and Rehoboam, where those two golden calves were placed so that the people wouldn’t go up to Jerusalem [1 Kings 12:25-33]. Here, let’s say: they set up certain groups or start certain groups, or the groups that don’t go up to the Age of the Cornerstone, they make a way for the people to turn their sight towards those golden calves, and not where God told them to look; which was already established (pardon me, excuse me), it was established that they should look to the Great Tent Cathedral and the ministry that God would be operating there, that they should even join in the devotional, see?
But always, in each time, the enemy of God, the devil, tries to prevent God from fulfilling His promises, and tries to divert the attention of people by using (what?) his instruments; because just as God uses humans as His instruments, the enemy of God, the devil, also uses his instruments; and the ministers who allow themselves to be used, well, there, the devil does his work too. And we have seen that in all the ages and in all the dispensations, and in our time there would be no exception; the devil will always try to prevent the Work of God from being fulfilled.
Now, he goes on to say [“PROVING HIS WORD”] [P. 25]:
[194] How I could just like to have time to show you that right now, where that church is standing at that position. I want you to notice now.
195 And one Man stayed behind, that talked to Abraham, and He done a sign to Abraham. And, watch, Abraham had seen God in many great signs. We believe that, don’t we? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Just before the coming son. But before the son was manifested, there was a sign he was given.
196 Because, the Son, the true Son, was to be the Son of God, through Abraham’s faith, see, was Jesus. We being Abraham’s seed, dead in Christ, we are Abraham’s seed.
197 Notice now just before that taken place, this son to come. Now, this One that stayed and talked to Abraham, had His back turned to the tent, and He said, “Abraham.” Now, just a day before that, he was Abram. Now He said, “Abraham, where is thy wife, Sarah?” not Sarra, S-a-r-r-a. S-a-r-a-h, princess. “Where is thy wife, Sarah?”
Said, “She is in the tent behind You.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Tent»; there above “the tent” he writes: [WSS] «The Tent».
[JBP] Now notice, where would the Church-Bride be at this end time, where that Word-Son, that promised Son would come forth? She would be placed in a Great Tent Cathedral, that is…, and also in the spiritual realm, She would be in the spiritual Jerusalem, already placed there, for that Word-Son to come forth; that is, for Him to come forth from the midst of the tent, from the Tent.
The Church-Bride has to be and had to be in the right place in order to receive that promise; and God put…; notice, from Saint Paul to our time, He has been bringing everything along until He put that Church-Bride under the Tent.
[197] Said, “She is in the tent behind You.”
198 He said, “I’m going to visit you, see, according to My promise that I made you.” In other words, “The time of life, Sarah will start in her ordinary time of life again.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now he continues to say here, in this message titled “HEARING, RECOGNIZING, ACTING ON THE WORD OF GOD”; Reverend William Branham says:
[60-0221 - “Hearing, Recognizing, Acting On The Word Of God,” pp. 13-14, paras. 94-96]
94 Now, watch closely now as we move up into this. Watch what kind of a sign that Abraham’s and his family got. They got the Supernatural. “Abraham!” How did He know he was Abraham? “Where is your wife, Sarah?” How did He know he was married, or had a wife, Sarah?
“She’s in the tent” ([JBP] Abraham responded).
95 Now, a Man sitting there, eating meat, drinking milk ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Melchisedec», and eating corn bread. “Where, where is your wife, Sarah?” ([JBP] Glory to God!) How did He know that thing? How did He know it? Think of it. You call…You spiritual people, let this get into you. How did He know that, when He act like a stranger, dust on His clothes?
And when Abraham said, “She’s in the tent, behind You.”
96 And He said, “I’m going to…” “I, I,” a personal pronoun. “I,” ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «YHWH» this Man, God making Hisself known in flesh. God! Abraham called Him Elohim ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «visit». “I, I’m going to visit you. I’m going to keep My promise. And according to the time of life, I’m going to visit you ([JBP] and he writes there again): [WSS] «visit», and you’re going to have this boy that I spoke to you about.” And Abraham, a hundred; Sarah, ninety.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And let’s also see here another - another portion, where he speaks to us, from this message as well or from this Scripture; notice, in the message “JEHOVAH-JIREH,” on page 20, Reverend William Branham also tells us there, he says:
[62-0705 - “Jehovah-Jireh #1,” pp. 12-14, paras. 69-70, 77-80]
69 But God promised Abraham, and Abraham believed it. He never said, “God, how will it be?” He said, “All right, God, I believe it.” And I can see him go home, say, “Sarah, let’s go down and get us several yards of birdeye, and get us some pins, and get us some booties. Going to have a baby.” Oh, my!
70 First thirty days passed ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «Sarai was 65 years old or older», or twenty-eight days ([JBP] he circles “28 days” there). “How you feeling, dear?”
“No different.”
“Bless God, we’re going to have it, anyhow!”
“How do you know?”
“God said so!”
[JBP] And further on, he says:
77 Another month has passed. “Sarah, sweetheart, how you feeling now? You know, another twenty-eight days has passed, how you feeling?”
“No different, darling.”
78 “Glory to God! It’s two months greater miracle than it was if it happened last month.”
A year passed. “Shall I lay these little booties away?”
79 “No, sir, you keep them there. We’re going to have that baby!”
“How do you know you’re going to have it?”
“God said so! That settles it.”
[JBP] And there in “God said so! That settles it” he circled it there.
And that is where he writes (what we’ve already read as well*, he says), he writes there:
*[Bible Study #346, 29-2/Sep/2023 (Friday), pp. 30-31]
[WSS] «God transported Rev. WMB into the future, and he saw something that was already being fulfilled for some time. That is how that of the Vision of the Tent Cathedral was established».
[JBP] Notice, God transported Reverend William Branham to this time and he saw something that was already established.
Now, how blessed we are because we are seeing how the fulfillment of the Tent Vision is being established!, notice, in a way that moves progressively, where God is giving us the greatest thing first: the revelation, the Rapturing Faith; and then it will continue increasing.
Notice, because when brother Branham was taken there, he says that place was filled, he says that the line as well, when it was formed, he says that it went one block beyond, beyond the block, far out; meaning, it was endless due to the amount of people that were there under that ministry.
Now remember that the Third Pull is for the Bride, It is for the foolish, It is for the lost, for the 144,000; notice, It is for the whole world. But It starts progressively, and It starts with the Bride first; although within that group there are also foolish virgins; and the make-believers are there as well, who are still sniffing around.
Now, there our brother William continues to say there, in what he wrote:
[WSS] «It will be so because it already was in the Vision, it already was in the invisible world, and it must materialize».
[JBP] Meaning, it isn’t something that can be manufactured, rather, it is something real; because it was already seen in that vision, which Brother Branham was transported to and where he saw everything that was happening there. Now, when he went, it was in the climax, in the part where that fulfillment was in full swing (let’s say); but everything begins progressively.
Now, notice how God is working at this end time, fulfilling what He promised.
Elohim, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel visiting His people, fulfilling what He promised.
Now, he continues to say [“JEHOVAH-JIREH”] [P. 14]:
[79] After twenty-five years passed. “How you feeling, Sarah?”
“No different.”
[JBP] Now notice, in 1977, Brother Branham put that date there, and he said that around that year was the time when the seventh age of the Church would end; and he said that [WMB] it was the end of all things and the ushering in of the Millennium. Now notice, anyone might say: “Wait, but that wasn’t fulfilled.” And thank God that it wasn’t fulfilled, because there was still the group that would belong to the Age of the Cornerstone, to the Most Holy Place; that is, the most important place.
*[The Ages, “The Laodicean Church Age,” p. 321; p. 322]
Now, if you add 25 years there, notice that it equals 2002. Just like God materializes those dates and fulfills them in a present-day manner; notice how a ministry begins there, in which God would fulfill His Coming, the Coming of the Angel that was different from the rest, in the midst of the seed of Abraham. As simple as that.
Now, he goes on to say:
80 “Glory to God! It’s twenty-five years more of a miracle now!” He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, holding to the Word of God; and calling those things which were not, as though they were. Why? God said so! Oh, my!
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, in the message “MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE,” preached on September 11, 2016 in Cayey, Puerto Rico, Dr. William Soto Santiago tells us, he says:
MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, September 11, 2016
Cayey, Puerto Rico
At this end time, we have the promise of the Coming and manifestation of the Son of Man. The first part was fulfilled in the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, and the second part will be fulfilled in the Age of the Cornerstone…
[JBP] Where would the second part be fulfilled? In the Age of the Cornerstone. And in the time of Dr. William Soto Santiago we were still living in the Dispensation of Grace; that Dispensation of the Kingdom and Age of the Cornerstone had not begun yet, we were living in an interlace.
He continues saying:
[WSS] … a manifestation of Melchisedec, the King of Righteousness and King of Peace, King of Salem or of Jerusalem. And that will be the Coming of the Lord to His Church, to His spiritual Temple, made up of believers in Christ of the different stages or ages of the Church.
[JBP] Remember, that promise was exclusively, and is exclusively, for the royal seed of Abraham. For the rest of the groups, notice, like Sodom, they are the denominations; all of that was destruction back then; but the visit of Elohim was a blessing to Abraham.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Notice, in the message “THE TRIAL,” on page 8 he tells us:
[64-0419 - “The Trial,” p. 8, para. 33]
33 And now the Defense Witness ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «attorney» ([JBP] there on top) Himself should know whether they are believers or not, because He is the One that quickens the promise ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «H.S.» ([JBP] that is, Holy Spirit). Now how you going to get past that? Got a right-hot trial going on. How you going to get past that? The Holy Spirit should know, for He is the Life that’s in the Word, He’s the One that quickens the Word. Just like your spirit quickens your body, and the body is quickened by the spirit; without the spirit, the body is of no effect, the body’s dead. And the Word is dead without the Spirit. It takes the Spirit to bring forth the Word, to make It live. And He is the Quickener of that Word, and He is the Defense Witness of the Defendant. Amen. How you going to get a-past that? I want this court to understand that very well, that He is the Quickener, He should know. He quickens the Word.
[JBP] He writes back there too: [WSS] «It takes the Holy Spirit to make the Word live».
[JBP] Notice, the message was brought by the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord, and the Good Tidings by Dr. William Soto Santiago, the news; because there he said, around December 2016: [WSS] “I don’t have much time left.” Notice, there he was speaking very plainly to us there, and he was showing us that he was a messenger to bring the Good Tidings to the Church, to prepare her to receive that Promised Son.
He says: [WSS] “I am already 76 years old. I don't have much time left on earth. And I have been sent from the presence of God to give this news, this Good Tidings; and the faster I give it, the faster I can leave.”* That was the work of Dr. William Soto Santiago.
*[Volume “The Restoration of the Kingdom of Israel” – Closing of the World Congress of Rabbis: For a better world and the 7 precepts of Noah, pp. 310-311]
Now, notice that when God takes a messenger, there we can’t say: “God finished His Program then” No; He raises up another messenger, until the last one comes; and with that last one, He keeps that last one until He fulfills everything relevant to this earthly dimension; but afterward He keeps that instrument for the Millennium and eternity. That is the messenger of the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th centuries and from there on. Remember that message where he said it*. There he was speaking, showing what that final messenger would be.
*[1998-04-17 “The Voice of God in the Last Day”; 1998-11-07-2 “He who receives the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ”; 1998-12-27-2 “Time to awaken to the reality of what God is doing today.”]
• MM 1998-03-19-2 “The Seventh Seal and the Introduction to the Millennium” [P. 20]
And why wasn’t it fulfilled in Brother Branham? Because he left; it wasn’t him. And why wasn’t it fulfilled in Dr. William Soto Santiago? He left as well; it wasn’t him either. It has to be a messenger who is alive in the midst of the Church; and the only time that he will be absent, away from the Church, will be three and a half days.
The rest have already been away for longer, therefore, they are automatically disqualified to fulfill that promise, those Scriptures (like, for example: Revelation 11); because they are no longer in this body of flesh in which God has always worked in the midst of the dispensations and the ages, where He has always worked through a veil of flesh. Once they return, they will return in glorified and eternal bodies already; and then from there, 30 to 40 days in which we will shake this world, we will then go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
But everything will have ended then. When the resurrection takes place, the work being carried out by that Angel who was different from the rest, in the visit to the royal seed of Abraham, giving the Rapturing Faith to the Church-Bride, will have ended. After the resurrection takes place, there’s no Rapturing Faith to receive.
The Rapturing Faith is already being given from now: we are receiving the Rapturing Faith. Before we could hear in the messages of our brother, Dr. William Soto Santiago, where he would say that [WSS] the Rapturing Faith would be given in the Tent, that the Thunders would be uttering their voices; but now by the Holy Spirit being incarnate at this end time, that Holy Spirit in the midst of the Church, to make the Word live; like he told us there: [WMB] “It’s the Holy Spirit (that is), He is the One that quickens the promise.”
In other words, it took the Holy Spirit in flesh to quicken that promise that was given by the prophets, and by Saint Paul, and by the seven angel messengers, by Reverend William Branham, where he said that: [WMB] “When this Holy Spirit that we have, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords.”*
*[The Seals, “The First Seal,” p. 154, para. 302]
And that is the last revival, of which he said: [WMB] “We haven’t had a revival yet.”* Notice, because the revival would be brought by the Thunders; and for that promise to become a reality, it took the Holy Spirit to make it alive, to quicken that promise. See how simple everything is?
*[The Seals, “The Third Seal,” p. 243, para. 183]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say [“MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE”]:
[WSS] The Church will receive the double portion at this end time. It already has the first portion: the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which the believers in Christ receive; and then It will have the second part, which is the physical glorification, the transformation of the living and the resurrection of the dead in Christ into eternal and glorified and young bodies, like the glorified body that Christ our Savior has.
[JBP] Further on, in this same message, he says:
[WSS] (…) Therefore, there are great promises for this time, which Melchisedec will fulfill at this Last Day. The first manifestation of the Son of Man in mercy, Reverend William Branham says, was already fulfilled. And he says: “And the next time will be in the judgment - in judgment” [58-0109 - “The Called-Out,” p. 9, para. 24 / 58-0309E - “Will The Church Go Before The Tribulation?” p. 13, paras. 116-117]; in other words, He will come as Judge of all the Earth to claim what He has redeemed with His Blood and to speak the judgment that will come upon the planet Earth.
[JBP] We can find that there in the book of Quotations, on page 24. Notice, that first manifestation was in Reverend William Branham in mercy; and this other manifestation, which is as Judge, was not fulfilled in Dr. William Soto Santiago; He was still in mercy there. And there we can see and we can ask ourselves: Then what was the ministry that Dr. William Soto Santiago had? Now, are you seeing everything?
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Notice, on page…, let’s look here, it’s paragraph 183, from page 22; it says [Quotations]:
[58-0109 - “The Called-Out,” pp. 9-10, para. 24] [Study “The Angel = The Holy Spirit,” 19/Nov/2022 (Saturday), pp. 23-25 / Bible Study #342, 15/Sep/2023 (Friday), pp. 58-59 / Study “The Son of Man Revealed in Judgment,” 13/Nov/2023 (Monday), p. 8]
183 - “[24] The Son of man is now being revealed from heaven. ‘Will it come after while, Brother Branham?’ It is now. And I hope I won’t have to make this so personal of this own meeting, but that your spirit within you that’s give you by God, can read what I’m talking about. The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham, before the destruction. He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church. It’s being laughed at and scoffed at. The next time ([JBP] and there he draws a little Cornerstone) He reveals ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «in the 2nd Coming» Hisself, it’ll be in judgment on the world and the nations that’s forgot God and sinned their way of grace—their day of grace, rather, away.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Elijah and Moses».
And he writes: [WSS] «2nd dispensation» in his “day of grace,” that is, under the Dispensation of Grace.
And on top he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 19:11-21».
[JBP] Now notice, that manifestation that brother Branham says, that the next time it’s in judgment, that next time is today, it is the ministry under the Tent.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say there [“MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE”]:
[WSS] Therefore, in the Visitation of Melchisedec at the Last Day, there are great blessings for believers in Christ; and there will also be great problems, both health-related and environmental, affecting ecosystems; and there will be countless issues during the three-and-a-half-year period that corresponds to the great tribulation.
But that stage, also known as the Third Pull, will be a manifestation that the world will see, although there will be no more mercy anymore; and the foolish virgins will also see that manifestation; and the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will also have that manifestation in Her midst…
[JBP] See? Because all of that happens before the great tribulation, which is this time in which we are living.
[WSS] … the manifestation of Melchisedec in theophany, manifested through human flesh in the manifestation of the Son of Man in His Coming.
[JBP] Meaning, what we have in our midst is something so great, but at the same time, so simple. And notice, there can be nothing greater than Elohim, than Elohim with His Archangels Gabriel and Michael, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah; which we can say is the Coming of the Angel that was different from the rest, the Coming of the Seventh Seal, who obtains the Seventh Seal in human flesh, visiting the Royal Seed of Abraham.
That is why from Paul until Reverend William Branham, in all those messengers, in each age, there was none greater than Paul; Paul was the messenger of that age. And likewise in all the messengers; in Reverend William Branham, at that time there was no one greater than Reverend William Branham.
And notice, when he tried to explain it (and he did end up explaining the First and Second Pull), notice that there were impersonations, there were imitators, and they turned their sight towards those ministers; and notice, he did that and it caused that, people turning their sight towards those individuals.
Now, the people were called to hear only one voice: it was the voice of Reverend William Branham. And notice that also in the time of Dr. William Soto Santiago, under his ministry, there was no one above that ministry either.
But notice, in those messengers, the time came when God called them - He called them and they left; and the people were called to keep moving forward, and look at God’s next step, look at what the next step was; that is, to continue onward, not stay stuck; because by staying, what they do is denominationalize.
And at this end time, there is no one greater than the manifestation of Elohim with His Archangels Gabriel and Michael, in other words, with the ministries of Moses and Elijah; which are in the fulfilled in the Tent Vision, under that ministry under the Tent; there is no one greater than that ministry. No minister, no pastor, and no brother, is above that ministry; because in every age and every dispensation, God speaks to only one person.
And at this end time: the only one who is bringing the revelation and the Rapturing Faith, fulfilling the prophecies, the promises for this time, is the Holy Spirit, in the midst of His Church; He is the One that is quickening that Word. As simple as that.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, in the message “SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON NOW,” on page 41, he tells us:
[63-1110M - “Souls That Are In Prison Now,” pp. 40-42, paras. 295-301] [Bible Study #437, 11-2/Aug/2024 (Sunday), pp. 44-49]
[295] There is One righteous, that’s Christ. Christ living in One, them ten, see, “I’ll spare it.”
296 But that last Messenger preached to the doomed. You say…He went down there. Scripture don’t say what happened, but the fire fell the next morning, right, after He performed those signs, immediately after He performed His prophecy ministry. “Why did Sarah laugh?”
She said, “I didn’t.”
Said, “Yes, you did.” See?
297 Now, immediately after that, He entered Babylon, or went down into Sodom. He never found them, so the fire fell. He found Lot and his two daughters, said, “Get out of here right now.” See? It went out. He went down there. Remember, He was on His road down. He sent messengers before Him…
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Graham and Roberts».
And on the right he writes [WSS] «Elohim» (in the margin).
[297] … but He went down Himself, right, to find out if all this thing was so. And He found it full of what? Painted-faced women. The Message to the doomed ([JBP] there he writes on the left): [WSS] «Elohim went down to Sodom». What’d they do? Laughed at it.
[JBP] Like they do nowadays: they laugh, they mock what God is carrying out. That’s why he said: [WSS] “When you see an attack against the ministry, or against the Tent and directed against the Tent, against the fulfillment of the Great Tent Cathedral, and that attack against The Great Tent Cathedral, remember that we are near the fulfillment of all the prophecies that still need to be fulfilled,”* such as the resurrection and the transformation. Therefore, that attack would be seen, which would come from the inside, from people in the very Message who have stayed behind and have not accepted God’s provided way.
*[2011-05-08 “The Spirit of God and the spirit of the antichrist” / Bible Study #253, 6/Nov/2022 (Sunday), pp. 47-48]
But notice, that group will grow; because that’s how it was in the time of Jesus. Notice, of the twelve, one left, eleven remained; but don’t think that he stayed alone; let’s say that at that moment that was the small group, that was the small group up until then; but then, he continued to cause harm by what he was saying against Jesus and His disciples: he began to spread that poison of hatred among all the leaders, where each leader had their own group.
And he started spreading all that; and once he had gathered a good-sized army…, because he is such a coward that he doesn’t come alone, he starts gathering and gathering and gathering people; and when that whole multitude came with sticks and everything, compared to that small group that remained there. So, the scenario changed there: now the small group that left now becomes the big multitude against the small group that remained there.
Therefore, at this end time it’s like that too: a small group ends up outside, and seemingly it’s two or three; but notice, that group continues to grow and increase, because later on they are the ones who will also sell the Word when that squeeze comes, that hour of temptation, and they will join that whole big group; and then, when we come to see, then the small group ends up…, as a percentage, the one right now ends up being smaller. Notice how all of that is in a present-day manner and how it is fulfilled in a present-day manner.
Therefore, the important thing is that you know that you are of the Church-Bride, that you are of the group of the ministry under the Tent, that you are the one who has followed the instructions of that Angel, the instructions of obedience so that you receive the Word, receive the revelation, receive the revival, the Rapturing Faith. And those who are already here: continue receiving that revival, that Rapturing Faith, looking where he said to look: to the Tent, to The Great Tent Cathedral, to Jerusalem.
Now, he continues to say [“SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON NOW”] [P. 41]:
[297] What’d they do? Laughed at it.
298 What do they do today? The same thing. “I belong to the Assemblies. I belong to the Oneness. I’m—I’m…I’ve danced in the Spirit. Glory to God, I speak in…” All right, go ahead. “I’ll cut my hair if I want to. I’ll do this. I’ll—I’ll just say this. I don’t have to be baptized in Jesus’ Name. I—I don’t care what said…”
[JBP] That was at that time. Let’s say that now it’s: “I don’t care, I’ll keep putting makeup on, or cut my hair, or wear pants, or stay the way I am.” See? Everything in its present-day fulfillment. “I’m not going to listen to this person who is saying that.” It’s all the same; it all repeats itself.
[298] “...Paul is ([JBP] and… people said) an old woman hater, anyhow. That’s a…” All right, go ahead.
299 One of these days, if you haven’t already, you’ll cross that line. You’ll never desire no more to do what’s right. Did you hear what I said? It’s a matter. Brother, sister, do you realize what’s been said? You’ll cross that line, and you’ll never want to do it.
[JBP] Because many say: “That’s in the past. We have liberty here and we can’t do anything - and we can do as we please.”
Now, look at what he continues to say:
[299] You’ll still hear the Gospel, sure, but you’ll never accept It. You can’t accept It. But the Gospel will be preached to the doomed, those that are Eternally lost, can’t get saved, no more. You’re already in that spot, and don’t know it. You think you’re living in pleasure, and dead while you’re alive.
[JBP] Now, we have to be careful, because then you might be listening to a person who is spiritually dead, and turning your back on Elohim, the Holy Spirit incarnate.
300 Oh, listen. All those who rejected the Message of the hour, before doom, the Gospel was preached to the doomed, first, before they went; without mercy ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Rev. 10:1-7». Noah, shut up, was a testimony. God shut the door, after his Third Pull ([JBP] and there on the right he writes): [WSS] «Noah – the door» ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages). After the Third Pull at Sodom, the doors was shut. There was no more mercy. The ten couldn’t be found. And the lost had the Gospel preached, that could not be saved, because it was just…Been that way in every age, every age reject the Message before judgment.
301 Have they done it again?
[JBP] And they have done it again, notice, because each age has a warning through the messenger. God doesn’t send judgment without warning them first; and it is the same at this time.
[301] Is that appearing in a Pillar of Fire down here on the river? Is that appearing along in the Message of cutting the women, and throwing the places where it should be, and rebuking those ministers who takes the place with the denomination instead of staying on the Word? When, God has thoroughly vindicated that it’s Him, and not some poor ignorant unlearned thing like a man. It’s God! And have we now come to the spot that the Third Pull would return again to the lost, Eternally?
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «3rd Pull».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, let’s turn to page 45, also here in this message: “SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON NOW,” page 44 at the bottom, says:
[63-1110M - “Souls That Are In Prison Now,” p. 43, paras. 313-315] [Bible Study #328, 28/July/2023 (Friday), pp. 12-14]
313 Noah went in, then after seven days ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «7 ages», nothing happened, see.
[JBP] And above, he writes - he draws a Cornerstone and he writes: [WSS] «7 Thunders».
And he draws a Cornerstone as well and the ages and arrows towards the Cornerstone there on the right side.
[313] In seven days the judgment come. (...) If only, in Noah’s time, they would’ve knew that sign! If they would have only knowed that sign, the world in that day!
[JBP] And which is the greatest sign that God sends among the human race? A prophet.
[313] That, God proved here, by the reading of the Scripture, a while ago, He destroyed them people.
314 Not without mercy; mercy was sent to them by a prophet. They wouldn’t believe it. God is merciful, but, He sent mercy but they wouldn’t receive it. He always sends mercy, first.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the right.
And he writes at the bottom: [WSS] «Mercy was sent by a prophet».
And in the book of The Seals, that is why he writes there: [WSS] «Elijah and Moses, he who receives His Message receives mercy».*
*[Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), p. 15: The Seals, “The Sixth Seal,” pp. 424-425, paras. 360-362]
[JBP] And at this end time is when the Holy Spirit is quickening that Word, is fulfilling that Word. It’s the time to receive mercy through those ministries. Whoever is not receiving those ministries at this time “don’t get dressed because you aren’t going,” as we say; you are not going to be in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, therefore, you will not be transformed. As simple as that.
315 What if they would’ve knowed that sign was the end-time sign? And when they seen, all at once, salvation let up. Nobody, see. Just, the first thing you know, the door was closed.
[JBP] Because there always comes a moment when that stage and that phase ends, in which God left that time open for a certain reason. In this case: mercy.
There he writes on the right: [WSS] «Door».
[315] If they…There was only one person knowed that sign, that was Noah and his group. That was the only one knowed. When that door swung together, Noah knew it. Noah knew that was the finish. He knew it. That’s right. If you only knew the sign!
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «The sign».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“MELCHIZEDEK, THE KING OF PEACE”]:
[WSS] That’s why when Christ Jesus spoke about the Second Coming, He spoke about the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels; and His Angels are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Elijah and Moses at the Last Day, among the people of the New Covenant and then among the people of the Old Covenant, the Hebrew people.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE,” he tells us on page 44 of this message; he says:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 66-67, paras. 515-517] [Study “Getting Into the Kingdom Positionally,” 5/Aug/2023 (Saturday), p. 83]
515 Amen. Restore all the signs! The sign of Lot at the end time. We’ve went through that. How that Lot…This Angel, of Jehovah made flesh among the people, set with His back turned to the tent and said, “Where is Sarah thy wife?”
“In the tent behind You.”
516 He said, “I’m going to visit you.” And Sarah laughed. He said, “Why did Sarah laugh?” Her in the tent. Amen.
517 Jesus said it’ll be the same thing at the Coming.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «with Elijah and Moses».
On top he writes: [WSS] «Elohim. Like the days of Lot and the Coming of the Lord».
[517] …it’ll be the same thing at the Coming. Oh, then the evening Light, of Malachi 4, come shining through the darkness, amen, to bring the evening Light on the predestinated Word. Hallelujah! What’s that fourth Message to be? What’s that fourth messenger? To shine the Light on the Word. The Word is predestinated. It has to come forth. Something has to do it, for God said, “I will restore, saith the Lord. I will restore.” Right. The evening Lights come shining through, on that predestinated Word.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left.
[JBP] And what brings forth the Word, and who is it? It’s the Holy Spirit; that is why he said there: “It takes the Holy Spirit to make the Word live.”
[517] Yes, sir.
Oh, it shall be Light in the evening time,
The path to Glory you will surely find;
In the water way, is the Light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus.
[JBP] Now he writes there: [WSS] «The Angel of the Lord became flesh».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE”]:
[WSS] (...) We are in the most important time of all times, in the Mystical Body of Christ, His Church, to receive and see the Coming of Melchisedec in His Church in the Age of the Throne, the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the most important stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is where Elijah will appear and where Moses will appear, like they appeared on Mount Transfiguration when they went up the mountain and Jesus was transfigured before them, and Elijah and Moses appeared on either side of Jesus. That is the place of the Still Small Voice, of that still Voice that brings peace to our soul, to our heart, to our spirit, to our mind, to all of our being.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “JEHOVAH-JIREH,” it tells us on page 26, notice, it says:
[61-0312 - “Jehovah-Jireh,” p. 22] [Bible Study #266, 23/Dec/2022 (Friday), pp. 52-53]
151 Then one day when Abraham was setting out…The land was barren, sometimes we think that those things are curses, no, if you know your heart is right with God, no matter what happens, stay right with it. Abraham and Sarah, probably hot weather, and cattle was all thin, and everything, and then one day Abraham was setting under the oak tree about noontime, in the 16th chapter, or the 18th chapter, rather, of Genesis. And God had got enough of that Sodom and Gomorrah, just like He’s got of this world today, enough of their foolishness, so He’s going to come down to destroy it.
[JBP] And he writes there on the right: [WSS] «Elohim, Michael and Gabriel».
152 So He was going to give them a sign that that was going to be destroyed. So Abraham was setting there under the oak, and he looked and he seen three men coming. And they come up to where he was, he ran to meet them, and he said, “My—my Lord.” Now, somebody was trying to tell me that was Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, see. That’s a lie. He never said, “My Lords.” He said, “My Lord.”
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Abraham said».
Now, he writes there: [WSS] «A type of Elijah, Moses and Jesus: the Two Olive Trees and the Messiah».
[JBP] Notice that Reverend William Branham came, Dr. William Soto Santiago came, and at this end time, it’s the Lord, it’s Elohim with the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Meaning, everything comes together in one: Shout, Voice of Archangel and Trumpet of God. As simple as that.
153 Lot later called them two preachers that went down there, not capital L, little l, “My lords, have you come to me,” that backslidden Lot. So, he said, “My lords.” ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «Lot said».
[153] But when Abraham met the three, he said, “My Lord,” capital L-o-r-d, Elohim, Lord. Three of them was standing there, but he said, “My Lord.”
[JBP] Notice the importance of what he is speaking to us here: the three of them were standing there, and he said “My Lord,” he didn’t say, “my lords.” It’s all consolidated in one, Father, Son, Holy Spirit: one alone.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice, in the message “Conduct, Order, And Doctrine,” that’s in volume 12; and in this booklet, it’s on page 631; he says [“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS”]:
[61-0112 - “Questions And Answers,” p. 67, paras. 448-452]
448 And these little lights will go out when He comes ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «the Sun», that great anointed Christ of Heaven coming from the east to the west.
And he writes: [WSS] «Israel — America».
And on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and a little Star in each one of the ages, and in the Cornerstone, he draws a Star of David.
And he writes at the bottom: [WSS] «Revelation…»… That is, he writes: [WSS] «East – Israel».
And on top he writes: [WSS] «West – Latin America».
[JBP] And he goes on to say (the Scripture a bit further on):
[448] And the…and…See? But He will not be on earth now, the Messiah will not be on earth until the Millennium sets in. See? See? Cause the Church, “we’re caught up together to meet the Lord in the air” ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David on the left). He never comes to the earth. He catches His Bride away.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 4:1».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, that’s what we see in the book of Quotations, where he said that [WMB] “He would send His Angels, not down here…” Remember that portion? Let’s look for it… “Not here…” It says on page 143, paragraph… let’s see here, page 141, paragraph 1260, it says:
[65-0118 - “The Seed Of Discrepancy,” p. 5, para. 19] [Study “Moses and Elijah, the gathering and the harvest,” 30/July/2022 (Saturday), pp. 16-17 / Study “A Message of Separation,” 6/Aug/2022 (Saturday), pp. 12-13 / Bible Study #340, 8/Sep/2023 (Friday), pp. 8-10]
1260 - “19 Notice in verse 41 [Matthew 13], the two also very close, so close in the last days till He didn’t do… He could not depend on some certain church to separate them, say, the Methodist or the Baptist, or the Pentecostals, to separate them ([JBP] that is, that Work which would be done in the ages). He said, ‘He sends His angels to separate them.’ An angel is coming to bring the separation, the segregation between the right and the wrong. And no one can do that but the Angel of the Lord.”
[JBP] It’s the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ that He sends, notice, just as He sent each messenger; the Angel of the Lord sends each messenger to His Church in each age, in a portion, in the portion corresponding to each age: in Saint Paul, in Irenaeus, Martin, in Columba, in Luther, in Wesley, Reverend William Branham; He also sent His Angel there in that manifestation in Dr. William Soto Santiago; but notice, at this end time He sends His Angel, the Holy Spirit, to operate the ministries of Moses and Elijah, and carry out that separation, that segregation.
Now where does that happen? Not down below, it says. Now it says:
1260 - “He’s the One that is going to tell which is right and which is wrong.”
[JBP] Each age had a messenger who, with his voice, his Message, gathered the elect of that age; and although in one portion he was typifying, symbolizing, what that separation was…; because only those of that age, the children of God, were going to hear the Voice of God through that messenger; what would be fulfilled at this end time in all its fullness, the separation, the segregation, was being reflected there.
1260 - “19 God said He will send His angels at the last times. Not angels down through here ([JBP] See? Meaning down there in the ages), but angels at the last time ([JBP] and which is the last time? The Age of the Cornerstone), and would gather together ([JBP] in other words, He would also be gathering His elect). We know that this is the coming harvest time now ([JBP] because it would be in a higher age: the Age of the Cornerstone; not earthly ages). Now, an angel is actually interpreted a ‘messenger.’ And we see that there is seven angels of the seven churches, and now…no, through the church ages.”
[JBP] And he writes above there: [WSS] «In the separation He will send His angels».
[WSS] «Moses and Elijah, the gathering and the Harvest».
There on the right he had drawn, in that paragraph, downward like this: 1, 2, 3 pyramids, and he also drew the bottom part of the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother Branham goes on to say here [“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS”] [P. 67]:
[448] See? See? Cause the Church, “we’re caught up together to meet the Lord in the air.” He never comes to the earth ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «nor to earthly ages» ([JBP] see? Because it is a heavenly age: the Age of the Cornerstone, that is where He has come). He catches His Bride away.
[JBP] And there on the right he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 4:1».
449 He gets a ladder, you know, like…What was that play, Leo, where the man put the ladder up aside of the house? Romeo and Juliet. That’s right, put the ladder up and stole his bride away.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The ladder of Jacob’s vision».
[JBP] In the book of Quotations, there’s a place where he says: “Someone put the latter up.”* And he writes: [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» and in the book of The Seals, a portion from the book of The Seals.
*[Study “The Claiming Work of the messenger and His chosen ones in the Age of the Cornerstone,” 21/Mar/2024 (Thursday), pp. 23-26: The Seals, “The Third Seal,” p. 230, paras. 63-66 - [WSS] «Moses and Elijah».]
Now, he continues to say:
450 Now He’s just coming down Jacob’s ladder, and say, “Psst, Sweetheart…”
[JBP] Hehe, brother Branham says that. In other words, here the editor writes: “Psst,” because… it is written because the sound that brother Branham made was written; and surely, well, he makes that - his face like when a person calls someone so that no one else hears:
[450] “Psst, Sweetheart, come here.” ([JBP] And brother Branham goes on to say): See, we’re going up to meet Him.
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
451 [A brother asks ([JBP] this is the editor speaking now), “Brother Branham, would this be correct then with that? These people came to John the Baptist and they wanted to call him the Messiah. And I heard you one time say that the Jew thinks the Messiah was God.”—Ed.] ([JBP] There in parenthesis, written by the “Editor,” meaning, that was the editor, that question that he asked. Brother Branham says): What say? ([JBP] There the person says, in parenthesis, the person speaking says): [“I say, these people came to John the Baptist, thinking that he was the Messiah, the Christ. I heard you say one time that the Messiah would be God, for the Jew.”] ([JBP] Brother Branham says) Yes, sir. That’s right, the “rabbi.”
[JBP] And again the brother says:
452 [A brother says, “Well, John rebuked them, saying that he was ‘not,’ that Christ was coming.”—Ed.] ([JBP] Brother Branham says): That’s right. ([JBP] The brother continues saying): [“But isn’t it true that the disciples called Jesus ‘Lord’? And Jesus agreed to that, saying, ‘You call Me “Lord,” and so I am.’”] ([JBP] And he writes there on top of “Lord,” he writes): [WSS] «Elohim». ([JBP] And brother Branham says): Yeah. ([JBP] The brother goes on to say): [“In—in John 13, where He washed…?…”] ([JBP] And he - brother Branham says) Yeah, He would admit it. ([JBP] The brother continues saying) [“As being Lord, yes, He admitted it.”] ([JBP] Brother Branham says) He admitted it ([JBP] And the brother says). [“He accepted it.”] Uh-huh. ([JBP] And brother Branham says) But, see, Jesus being Lord, when He was asked if He was, He said, “Yes, sir. I am your Lord and Master. You call Me that, and you say well, for so I am.”
[JBP] See how Jesus would speak to them clearly? But notice, it was those who would receive Him. Because many were told - He would say to many: “Don’t tell anyone that I am the Christ.” [Matthew 16:13-20, Mark 8:27-30, Luke 9:18-21] Or we see the contrary, which was when they asked Him: “If You are the Christ (the leaders) tell us already and don’t make us doubt.” “I told you, I have told you, and you believe not.” [John 10:24-25] In other words, when they ask, it wasn’t to believe in Jesus but to condemn Him. So, why do they ask?
But notice that at this end time, in the fulfillment of the visit of Elohim to the Royal Seed of Abraham, He has also said, and can say: “Yes, I am your Lord and Master.”
Now, notice, He has the power to do it and say it, both in His First Coming and in His Second Coming.
Now, it says:
[452] But… ([JBP] And the brother says) [“But there’s never been no other being that would, that…”] ([JBP] And brother Branham finishes): could say that. No.
[JBP] Because only the Lord in His Coming is the One who can speak those words.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto Snatiago continues to say [“MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE”]:
[WSS] Therefore, let’s hold on more tightly to the Angel of the Covenant every day, because that is where God will be, where Melchisedec will be in His body and with His heavenly body, called the Holy Spirit, speaking to His Church with the Voice like the Lion of the tribe of Judah and seven thunders uttering their voices. And in Revelation, chapter 11, the ministries of the Two Olive Trees already appear, as they are also promised in Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 11 to 14.
All of this corresponds to the Age of the Cornerstone. Therefore, those who will be in the Age of the Cornerstone will be hearing the Still Small Voice heard by the prophet Elijah on Mount Sinai and on Mount Horeb.
[JBP] Notice, where is Melchisedec going to be with His body, and with His heavenly body; in other words, the Holy Spirit speaking to His Church as the Lion of the tribe of Judah? In the Age of the Cornerstone. It did not happen in the time of Dr. William Soto Santiago nor in the time of Reverend William Branham, because back then He was still the Lamb of God carrying out all the Work under the Dispensation of Grace.
At this end time, it is Melchisedec, the King of Salem, King of Peace, Elohim, the Lord, the Teacher, who is in the midst of His Church.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Further on, in this same message, Dr. William Soto Santiago says [“MELCHISEDEC, THE KING OF PEACE”]:
[WSS] (…) We are eager for His Church to be completed; for that reason, we work so that the Message reaches the different nations; and especially, Latin America and the Caribbean, which is the continent that has been given the final blessing, but the greatest of all: the blessing of being called into the Mystical Body of Christ in the Age of the Cornerstone, where the manifestation of Melchisedec, the King of Peace and the King of Righteousness, is to occur at this end time.
[JBP] Notice that this manifestation is for where? For Latin America and the Caribbean, for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom.
Dr. William Soto Santiago continues to say:
[WSS] It is promised that there will be a full manifestation in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, called the Third Pull, which will be manifested in the midst of the New Covenant people; where Melchisedec in Holy Spirit will be manifesting Himself, the Angel of the Covenant in the midst of His Church, and where He will give us the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
[JBP] Where is Melchisedec at this end time? In a Great Tent Cathedral. And what is He doing there in the midst of His people? Giving the Royal Seed of Abraham the faith to be transformed and raptured. As simple as that.
In this subject that we have for today: “ELOHIM’S VISIT TO ABRAHAM’S SEED AND ITS PURPOSE,” we have seen who Elohim is, we have seen who Abraham’s seed is, and we have seen the purpose of His visit, of His visit at this end time, to Abraham’s seed.
Let’s stand, and thus leave, immediately with us, our beloved brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
