BIBLE STUDY #486 – FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2025
Cayey, Puerto Rico
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good afternoon to all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite or the Eutelsat 8 satellite, today, Friday, January 31st of this year 2025.
Our subject is:
WE ARE BEING RUSHED FROM HEAVEN
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, December 3, 2004
Bogota, Colombia
Scripture: Revelation 5:1-10
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And let’s read in Revelation, chapter 5, verse 1 and on, where it tells us:
Revelation 5:1
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
[JBP] And he writes on top there: [WSS] «The creative Word – the King’s Scepter».
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 10:8-11».
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 8:3-5, 15:3» (and on).
And in verse 8, there he draws a Star of David on the right.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 12:11».
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
WE ARE BEING RUSHED FROM HEAVEN
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “JESUS WEEPS ON THE FOURTH DAY BEFORE LAZARUS’ TOMB,” which was preached on March 2nd, 2007, in Veracruz, Mexico, it tells us:
JESUS WEEPS ON THE FOURTH DAY BEFORE LAZARUS’ TOMB
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, March 2 ,2007
(Second service)
Veracruz, Mexico
We find that the Coming of the Lord is for the Age of the Cornerstone, for the Fourth Day, for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.
[JBP] In a message, he told us that at that time…, in that moment he said, [WSS] “We are living at the last hour of the third watch.”* All of that corresponds - at that time it corresponded to the Dispensation of Grace; because the last watch, which is the fourth watch, corresponds to the Age of the Cornerstone.
*[Bible Study #440, 23/Aug/2024 (Friday), p. 70]: 2007-09-22-2 “Youth working with the vision of the things which must shortly come to pass”: [WSS] Israel is showing signs that they are waking up; it’s because we are already in the last hour of the third Jewish watch or fourth Roman watch, which pertains to the last hour, which is from 5:00 to 6:00 in the morning.
[JBP] From 5:00 to 6:00 in the morning, notice, our brother William was there when he was in the midst of the people.
[WSS] When John the apostle was caught up to Heaven, in the Book of Revelation, in chapter 4, and he stood before the Throne of God, and in the right hand of the One who was sitting on the Throne he saw a little Book sealed with seven Seals, and he saw an elder … let’s… or Angel, it says [Revelation 5:1-4]:
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of The Seals, on page 57 [p. 69 in Eng. (The Breach…)], there our brother Branham reads to us this Scripture that we read from chapter 5; and notice there, where he is reading the portion of that Scripture, and where it says:
“And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”
[JBP] There on the right he writes: [WSS] «Root and offspring of David».
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,…in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.”
[JBP] And he writes under there, before the next paragraph begins:
[WSS] «Rev. 10:1-11 = Rev. 11:3-7 and 11:15-19».
[JBP] The Coming of the Mighty Angel is the Coming of the Son of Man; notice, it’s the same as Revelation 11, who is already seen prophesying there, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Because what the Seventh Seal is to the Church: the Coming of the Lord, that is the Seventh Trumpet to Israel: Moses and Elijah; for the Son of Man comes with His Angels.
He goes on to say:
29 This Seven-Seal Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10, now, if you’re marking it down. Let’s turn to Revelation 10, just a moment, so you’ll get an understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end time. For, listen:
…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…
30 If you notice, that’s Christ, see ([JBP] Who is it? The Lord, Christ). Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.
…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
31 You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a “messenger.” And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William continues to tell us here, when he reads that portion of Revelation, chapter 5; he says [“JESUS WEEPS ON THE FOURTH DAY BEFORE LAZARUS’ TOMB”]:
[WSS] Remember that that is the Book of Redemption, the Title Deed of the Heavens and of the Earth, the Lamb’s Book of Life; the names of all the elect of God are written there.
“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.”
And John says:
“And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the unedited book of “THE AGES”…; here in the booklet it’s page 28, in the unedited book of “THE AGES”, it would be page 664. It says here…, I’ll read from the booklet, it says… (that’s paragraph 143) [“REVELATION, CHAPTER FIVE PART 1”]:
[61-0611 - “Revelation, Chapter Five Part 1,” pp. 22-23, paras. 139-142] [Bible Study #230, 19/Aug/2022 (Friday), pp. 6-7]
139 So just then he said, “A elder came forth or a strong angel, said, ‘Weep not, for the Lion of the tribe of Juda,’” (Amen!) “‘the Root of David ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David on the left side and he writes upwards): [WSS] «The root of David», He has prevailed!’” Amen! “‘Conquered,’” in other words. “‘He’s worthy to take the Book!’” Amen.
140 Remember, he hadn’t seen Him up to this time. Why? He was setting on a… seated on a Throne in there, God’s Throne. He was on the inside of the sanctuary.
[JBP] And there above… “on the inside,” above that he writes: [WSS] «Most Holy Place».
And he writes on the left, upwards: [WSS] «Most Holy Place: 7th dimension».
[140] He hadn’t seen Him to this time, so John was expecting to see a—a Lion come forth, but he saw a Lamb!
141 There you are, brothers. Through meekness, through sweetness, through the Holy Spirit that we conquer ([JBP] We conquer through what? Through sweetness, through the Holy Spirit). Not some great mighty intellectual giant, but he that can humble himself is the man who conquers.
[JBP] And he writes there, on top of paragraph 145:
[WSS] «The Conqueror — the Lion: a man» (heh!).
[JBP] Notice, not as a great and mighty and intellectual giant, in other words, a man with a lot of human intelligence, but rather the man who can humble himself is the man who conquers, he is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
[141] The man who can be kicked around and still be a servant of Christ, that’s the conqueror.
142 Now, he said, “He has prevailed. And He is worthy to take the Book and to open it and to loose the seals thereof.”
[JBP] And on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William goes on to say here [“JESUS WEEPS ON THE FOURTH DAY BEFORE LAZARUS’ TOMB”]:
[WSS] And John wept here too, because this is the time when the Book must be taken by a person in Heaven and opened so that the Claiming is carried out: the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of those who are alive.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this same message that we are reading, of “REVELATION, CHAPTER FIVE PART 1,” on page 31 (which in the unedited book of “THE AGES” is page 667, paragraph 157), it tells us:
[61-0611 - “Revelation, Chapter Five Part 1,” p. 25, paras. 153] [Bible Study #250, 28-2/Oct/2022 (Friday), pp. 30-31, 33-34]
153 And right here ties the whole thing together. Yes, sir. “Had to be worthy,” so Jesus is worthy. At His return ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «with Moses and Elijah» ([JBP] there on top) we will fully enjoy all the fulness of redemption blessings.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The reward — transformation».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Remember that he, in the book of The Seals, notice, on page 352 [p. 405 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)], there he tells us (from the book of The Seals):
[202] And just about the time the antichrist moves hisself fully on the stre-…on the scene; God moves Hisself fully on, to redeem it all.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Transformed, adopt us» (he writes there).
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say in the book of “THE AGES”… - here from the booklet, which is on 31 [“REVELATION, CHAPTER FIVE PART 1”] [P. 25]:
[153] Meek shall inherit the earth. Men and women shall be back: sons and daughters of God. And the complete Millennium swing will begin. What a beautiful thing!
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The Millennial Swing».
And he writes on the left side upwards: [WSS] «A kinsman Redeemer».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say [“JESUS WEEPS ON THE FOURTH DAY BEFORE LAZARUS’ TOMB”]:
[WSS] In the Claiming Work, notice, Christ will resurrect the dead believers in Him; and the living believers in Him, who have been born again: He will transform them. Therefore, that ends up being the time of the Age of the Cornerstone.
[JBP] Notice when that time of the Age of the Cornerstone takes place: when that Claiming Work is carried out.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “REVELATION, CHAPTER FIVE” but Part II (which in the booklet is page 42, and in the unedited book of “THE AGES” it’s page 705), it tells us… at the bottom (going on to 706) it tells us:
[61-0618 - “Revelation, Chapter Five #2,” pp. 35-36, paras. 204-206] [Bible Study #411, 12-2/May/2024 (Sunday), pp. 32-34]
204 The seven and last one of these seals, when they’re opened, it’s found in Revelation the 10th chapter, there was a mighty Angel (which was Christ) came down and put one foot on the land and one on the sea, and raised up His hand and says, “The day is finished ([JBP] and he writes on “the day,” he writes): [WSS] «2nd dispensation». Time is run out. It’s all over. Time shall be no more.”
[JBP] And there on top of that sentence he writes: [WSS] «The 7 ages, the time of the gentiles».
[JBP] That is, the time of the Dispensation of Grace is over, which already happened.
And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 10».
205 And He said, “At the sounding of the…at this time, the mystery of God should be finished.” Who God is and how He was made manifest; how when that seal was opened, how we begin to understand now how that He was the Son of God, He was God Himself made flesh; and the revelation of Who He is; that should be finished before this Angel can put His feet upon the land and sea and sware that “there’ll be time no more” ([JBP] there on the right he writes again): [WSS] «Rev. 10:1-11» when this time comes ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Most Holy Place» ([JBP] and on the left he draws a Star of David). We’re right in that front yard ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Holy Place» of it right now. See?
[JBP] And on the right he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and the arrow to the seventh age.
There he says that “we’re right in that front yard of it”: that is the Holy Place.
And on the left, notice, going upwards, he writes in two sentences, upwards:
[WSS] «Time will be no more.
He comes as the Lion of the tribe of Judah».
He continues to say:
206 The last one of them is Revelation 10, “Foot on land and on sea,” time had run out, redemption is over, and now He comes in as a Lion. He was a Lamb then, now He comes in as Lion of the tribe of Juda.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “HONORING THE PLACE WHERE GOD CHOOSES TO PUT HIS NAME,” which was preached on November 4, 1999, in Lo Prado, Chile, he says:
HONORING THE PLACE WHERE GOD CHOOSES TO PUT HIS NAME
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Thursday, November 4, 1999
Santiago, Chile
Here we have seen what the Lord’s white hair is; and then we saw that the Angel who was different from the rest is the One who forms that white hair, the white wig; all of that is for the Lord’s Day, to which John was transported.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 76 [p. 90 in Eng. (The Breach…)] of the book of The Seals, Reverend William Branham tells us…, this is when preaching the message “THE BREACH,” he tells us:
[164] The Bible said that John “wept.”
[JBP] Because, notice, he saw that the time had come to take that Book. Now look, it says:
165 Not as some people has taught it. I was hearing a man teach this one time, said, “John wept because that he found himself not worthy” ([JBP] on the left he writes): [WSS] «John wept». Oh! Any man under the Holy Spirit would know different from that, see; under the inspiration of God, would know different from that.
166 But, John “wept.” Here is what I think he wept for. Because, if no one was worthy and could open this Book of Redemption, the whole creation was lost. (...)
[JBP] There he draws a Star of David on the right.
And he writes on the left: [WSS] «Everything lost».
[167] That’s God’s Own law, and He can’t defile His law, can’t defy His law, rather.
[JBP] And he draws another Star of David on the left.
[167] God required a Kinsman Redeemer Who was worthy, Who was able to do it, Who had the substance to do it.
168 And the Angel said, “Now let that Kinsman Redeemer step forward.”
[JBP] On the right, he writes: [WSS] «Creation was lost».
169 And John looked. And he looked all over the earth. He looked beneath the earth. And there was nobody. There, creation and the everything was lost. Of course, John wept. Everything was lost.
170 His crying didn’t last but just a minute, though. Then there stood one of the elders, said, “Don’t weep, John.”
[JBP] There on the left he writes: [WSS] «John wept».
And further down he writes draws, below, a Pyramid and the ages.
And he draws a Star of David.
[170] Oh, my! His crying didn’t last but just a minute.
171 John thought, “Oh, my, where is the Man? There stands the prophets; they was born like I was. There stands the sages. There stands…Oh, ain’t there nobody here?”
172 “I want a Man that’s able to do it. I want a Man that can redeem.”
173 And he wasn’t found, so John broke out. Oh, everything was lost; and he wept bitterly ([JBP] there on the left he writes): [WSS] «lost» ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David). And he—he was sad, ’cause everything, the whole creation, everything was gone, if they couldn’t find somebody ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «John wept» ([JBP] and he draws another Star of David). Glory to God! If they couldn’t find somebody that can meet that requirements, there…every human being, and the whole world and creation, was gone. Oh, everything had fallen. The—the—the rights of redemption, the rights of—of Eternal Life, the Light, all these rights had been forfeited, and there was nobody who could pay the price. And John starts crying, ’cause no one was worthy, and no one could even look at the Book. Oh, it took a human being. John wept, because no one could do it, and everything was lost.
[JBP] And on the left he writes again: [WSS] «John wept».
174 And there came a voice from one of the elders ([JBP] there on the right, in between, he draws a Star of David), standing in midst the four Beasts and all that great host of Heaven, said, “Don’t weep, John.” Oh, my!
175 Grace of God!
176 “Don’t be brokenhearted, John. Don’t weep…”
[JBP] There on the left he writes: [WSS] «John wept»
Below that he writes: [WSS] «One of the 24 elders».
[176] “...Don’t weep [John]. For the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root and Offspring from David, He has prevailed.”
177 Prevail means “wrestle with, and overcome.” Oh, my! The garden of Gethsemane, when Blood dropped down out of His face, He was overcoming. See? Whew! See?
178 “The Lion, and the Root of David, has prevailed, has overcome.”
[JBP] And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Lion».
[JBP] Now, notice, prevail means: “Someone who has wrestled with and overcome the enemy.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Notice, on 115 [p. 134 in Eng. (First Seal)] he speaks to us there, in this same book of The Seals, he says:
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…
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Future».
And on top he also wrote: [WSS] «Throne of David».
[155] … He rises from the Father’s Throne, and goes to take His Own Throne.
156 Now He comes forth to call His subjects. How is He going to claim them? He’s already got the Book of Redemption in His hand.
[JBP] On the right, he writes: [WSS] «Future».
[JBP] Now notice, how is He going to claim them? Well, he already has the Title in his hand, therefore, he can carry out that Claiming Work.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he goes on to say on 77, of the book of The Seals [P. 91]:
179 Like Jacob, being supplanter. And when he got in contact with the Angel ([JBP] on the right, he writes): [WSS] «the Angel and Jacob», he held on. And the Angel tried to pull away. He said, “I—I’m just not going to let You go.” He held on until he got what he wanted for. And his name was changed, from supplanter, which means “deceiver.” To what? To “a prince with God,” Israel. He prevailed.
180 And this Lion of the tribe of Juda prevailed. He said, “Don’t weep, John…”
[JBP] There on the right he writes: [WSS] «John wept».
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «Lion».
[180] “Don’t weep, John. For the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed. He has already overcome. He has done it. It’s over, John.” Whew! Oh, oh, my! ([JBP] On the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.) He produced a bleach that sends sin along back to the greasy hands that the…with his wisdom, that defiled it, the human being. Yes.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Remitted» on the right.
181 But when John turned to look, he saw a Lamb ([JBP] and on the right, he writes): [WSS] «Lamb». What a different from a Lion! He said, “The Lion has prevailed.” See, again, I can use that there, God hiding in simplicity ([JBP] and on the right, he writes): [WSS] «Lion = King and Judge». He said, “There’s a Lion.” That’s the king of the beast. “The Lion has prevailed.” The strongest thing there is is a lion.
182 I’ve laid out in the jungles in Africa, and hear the—the giraffes squealing. And—and the great, mighty elephant, with his trunk in the air, “Whee, whee, whee.” And hear the—the—the savages of the desert screaming out their bloody, curdle cries. And the—the beetles, till…And Billy Paul and I laying in a little old place covered over with stickers. And hear, a way off in a distance, a lion roar, and everything on the desert shuts up. Even the beetles stop hollering. The king speaks. Oh, oh, oh, oh, my!
[JBP] He underlines it and circles it.
And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Lion – King and Judge».
183 I tell you, that’s when denominations and doubts fall to the ground. Everything gets quiet when the King speaks. And This is the King, that’s His Word. Oh!
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The Sword».
And towards the top he writes: [WSS] «The Lion — King». «Silence for ½ an hour».
And on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
184 He said, “John, don’t worry. Don’t cry. Don’t be broken up, John ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «John wept» ([JBP] to the right again). I have you here in the vision; I’m showing you something. And I know you’re all tore up, because, you know, there’s nothing to be redeemed, everything is gone; there’s nobody could meet the requirement. But the Lion of the tribe of Juda…”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say here, in this message where we paused: “HONORING THE PLACE WHERE GOD CHOOSES TO PUT HIS NAME”; it says:
[WSS] The Coming of the Lord is as Judge. But before Christ leaves the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, while He is in Heaven, in the Throne of Intercession, making intercession, that is because the very last elect of God has not come in yet; but when the very last one comes in: He will finish His Work as High Priest in Heaven and He will take the Title Deed and make His Claim, He will become the Lion of the tribe of Judah and become the Judge of all the Earth. Now, we will see that change manifested later at the Last Day.
[JBP] See that the Church-Bride has experienced and seen that change.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the unedited book of “THE AGES”… (from “REVELATION, CHAPTER 5 #2,” on page 19), which in the book is… it’s paragraph 89; it’s page 686, this portion of “THE AGES” unedited; it says…, here in the booklet (which is page 686), it says:
[61-0618 - “Revelation, Chapter Five #2,” pp. 16-17, paras. 89-94]
89 “A Lamb.” Why didn’t he see the Lamb before? The Lamb had been seated on the Father’s Throne, inside the—the guards. John could not see into there, he only seen those four-headed…or those four beasts standing there, or those four Cherubims standing there guarding the Holy Place. And we got it last Sunday, and over in the other lessons, that he seen that but he could not see what was beyond that. And in there, all at once, there appeared…just mysteriously, suddenly, there was One, a Lamb.
90 Now, to show It was not a natural beast, lamb, because It took the Book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the Throne; the lamb couldn’t do that, see. He was—He was—He was a Lamb, was Christ. In other words, in His attributes He was meek and gentle like a lamb.
[JBP] And there he draws a Star of David on the left.
And he writes: [WSS] «Lamb = meek and gentle, his attributes».
Notice, what we read there a few minutes ago.
91 Now, notice, it was a Lamb Redeemer, a Lamb Redeemer just like the first. God never can change! Amen! The first redeemer was a lamb, in the garden of Eden, it was a lamb that God offered. And here it is again, plumb over in Revelation, it’s again a Lamb. To redeem what? The fallen condition and the fallen inheritance of a fallen race of people. A Lamb comes back to redeem ([JBP] and there on the left he draws a Star of David), like ours was at the beginning, to redeem us.
92 To redeem what? What’s He going to redeem us about? To break…bring it to…Anything that’s redeemed is something that’s been lost. It’s something that’s been lost and then it’s been brought back again. What does He bring back to us, this Lamb? Everything we had at the beginning.
93 What did we have at the beginning? Eternal Life ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «return to what Adam lost». We was heirs of the world. We had Life, we never had to die. We never had to be sick. We never had to get old. We never had any worries. Where’s no funerals, no graves, no evil, no death, no gray hairs, no stooped shoulders, no mourning, no crying. We had Life, Eternal! We had the jurisdiction over all the earth. We was just a god (that’s all) on the earth; walk about, and if this tree didn’t look right standing here, we’d say, “Be thou plucked up and set over here,” and it would do it ([JBP] he writes on the left): [WSS] «ye are Gods». The winds was blowing, we didn’t want the winds to blow, “Peace, be still,” and it did it. And what did He come to do? To redeem all that back to us again (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my!), get all that back again.
[JBP] What awaits us is something great!
94 And now nature in itself is groaning, waiting for the what? Manifestations of the sons of God, for the sons of God to be manifested.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «the adoption», on the right.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say [“HONORING THE PLACE WHERE GOD CHOOSES TO PUT HIS NAME”]:
[WSS] Through the messengers of each age, Christ has manifested Himself in mercy; through the seventh angel messenger: the Son of Man (Christ) manifested Himself in mercy. And at this end time, through His Angel Messenger: He will be manifesting Himself in mercy until the very last of the elect comes in…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “THE INVISIBLE UNION OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST,” on page 45, Reverend William Branham tells us:
[65-1125 - “The Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ,” pp. 38-39, paras. 294-299]
[294] So, now, you think they could take It, today?
295 You think I’m trying to support ignorance? I’m not. I’m telling you there’s a difference between this intellectual age that we’re living in, where the church has been pregnated with science and all these so-called “figured out” and everything ([JBP] and he writes at the top): [WSS] «figured out». You don’t figure out God.
296 Well, them—them priests had God figured out so perfect, they knowed how the Messiah was going to come, but He come so different from what they had figured out. It wasn’t scientific. “How could this Man, being an illegitimate Child? Where did He go to school at? Where did His education come from? Where did He get this learning?”
297 “Why, You try to teach us? You’re born in fornications.” See? Oh, for goodness sake!
298 See the same thing repeat again? [The congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] See it repeat again? All in their religious science, religious science according to what their Bible school said, that’s the way they want It. “That’s the way It has to be, or It isn’t.”
299 God just fools them, every time. It always comes different. It did in Noah’s time; did in Moses’ time; did in Christ’s time; did in John’s time; did in disciples’ time; did in Wesley’s time; did in Luther’s time; did in Pentecostal time; and so has it again. It don’t change Its pattern. Always comes the same thing. Only reformers through them seven…six ages, till the seventh. And Revelation 10 said, in this hour it’ll change. And it did.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 10. The change», he writes to the left upwards: [WSS] «Rev. 10. The change».
[JBP] He said that the Dispensation of Grace would end, that the time of the Dispensation of Grace would end, that time would be no more. And He did it! God fulfilled His Word; and at this end time that change has been made: time is no more.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William continues to say there [“HONORING THE PLACE WHERE GOD CHOOSES TO PUT HIS NAME”]:
[WSS] … and then He will manifest Himself as Judge, in the Judgment. And that is why, at the Last Day, the preaching of the day of vengeance of our God will come by Christ through His Angel Messenger.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 81 [p. 97 in Eng. (The Breach…)] of the book of The Seals, it tells us:
222 Now watch. Then it is He, the Lamb, that takes His Kingly position, when His saints come to crown Him, “Lord of lord, and King of kings.” See?
223 See, “Time has run out.” Revelation 10:6, “There is no more time.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] When do they crown Him as King of kings and Lord of lords? When we reach the end time, the end of the Dispensation of Grace, and that Angel says, through that instrument: “Time is no more.” That is what happens when that Holy Spirit, notice, came incarnate - when It comes incarnate; of which he had said on page 134 [p. 154 in Eng. (First Seal)] [The Seals]:
[302] Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings [and Lord of lords].
[JBP] And in what we just read, notice when that took place: when He leaves the Throne of Intercession, and (in Revelation, chapter 10) He gives that Book, that Title Deed, to that man; and the Church-Bride recognizes him. Upon recognizing him: they recognize him and crown him King of kings and Lord of lords.
That takes place when time ends. And the time for the Dispensation of Grace, for the gentile kingdom, already ended.
Now we are in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, where He is giving us that Translation Faith, that Rapturing Faith.

Let’s stand, and leave under this subject and in this subject: “WE ARE BEING RUSHED FROM HEAVEN,” our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
