BIBLE STUDY #493 – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2025
Second activity
Cayey, Puerto Rico
[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 in different countries; there where Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin is, in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, the congregation pastored by Reverend Alejandro Primero Minora, all the brethren there; may God bless you greatly. And may God continue to use you greatly in the Work of the Lord, Miguel; and may He continue to restore you, so that you may continue to be a great blessing for the whole Church and the ministerial body as well.
We were seeing on the news that they are about to go into the second phase of the hostage release; and we were also listening to Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who told them that the conditions for that release would need to be established now. They had said that for this second phase they would release them all; that is what we want: for them to release them all. But he said: “We are not going to release those (some who are in prison, meaning, it’s an exchange) until you do what we are asking of you; and that is that when you release them, you don’t make a spectacle like you did when you released the four recent ones,” where they staged a performance there, where they even took children there in Gaza, from… their children and everything, to watch that spectacle there. And he told them: “We will release the prisoners, you release those who are there, but not like that.”
Notice how all of that is showing what will happen to Revelation 11.
We trust that all those who are there in captivity, as hostages, be released soon. All the Latin American people are united with Israel, and condemn all these acts.
Now, there is a Scripture that speaks of: “he who blesses Israel will be blessed, but he who curses Israel will be cursed” [Genesis 12:3, Numbers 24:9]; and it is also the same for the heavenly Israel, the Church-Bride.
For this occasion our subject is:
THE HIDDEN MANNA
(Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, April 29, 2006
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Scripture: Revelation 2:12-17
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And let’s search in Revelation, chapter 2, we will read verse 17, where it tells us:
Revelation 2:17
17 He that hath 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 saving he that receiveth it.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And in Saint Matthew, chapter 23, verse 39 - verse 37 and on, it says:
Matthew 23:37
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
[JBP] And he writes there on the right: [WSS] «In the 2nd Coming of the Lord».
THE HIDDEN MANNA
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] It tells us in the unedited message “THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES,” on page 242, Reverend William Branham says…, it corresponds to paragraph 303; he says:
[60-1207 - “The Pergamean Church Age,” pp. 47-48, paras. 275-277]
275 “Hidden manna.” Let’s give the interpretation the best we can. What does “hidden manna” type? Hidden manna was a manna that was kept in the place…or a shewbread, in the Bible, that was only for the priest ([JBP] there on the left he writes): [WSS] «Manna = Christ». How many knows that around? See? Now, it wasn’t for…They had a bread for the congregation, but there was a special bread for the priest. Is that right?
276 This is a special bread, a special bread, hidden manna. What is it? Who is our Manna? Christ. All right, Saint John, the 6th chapter, 48th to the 50th verse, if you’re putting it down. Jesus said He was “the Bread of Life that come from God out of Heaven,” the Manna.
277 Well, what is the “hidden manna”? The manna that isn’t given to all of the congregation. The revelation is poured out upon the angel of the church ([JBP] there he writes on the right): [WSS] «Manna», the revelation of the Word. See? Revelation of the Word is given to the angel of that age, for it’s hid from everywhere, and revealed back (the hidden manna) to…It’s addressed to the angel of the church. See? You get it? It’s a little bigger revelation of what Christ is, maybe a little higher call.
[JBP] And on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And above he writes: [WSS] «The revelation is given to the angel of the age», there above that paragraph: [WSS] «The revelation is given to the angel of the age».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now let’s turn to 244, where he tells us: “The hidden manna…,” paragraph 312:
[60-1207 - “The Pergamean Church Age,” p. 49, para. 284]
284 “The hidden manna,” a little something special. What is the special? Not something to…The blessings of the Holy Ghost? Oh, no, that’s for the whole congregation. But the “hidden manna” was a special revelation ’cause he had to teach the others ([JBP] and on the left he writes): [WSS] «Manna». See? Was a little more knowledge of the Scripture, that he could teach others. He’s supposed to be. Is that right? You’ll never live no higher than your pastor ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the left). You just remember that, see. And so…Cause he’s the shepherd that feeds you. If he’s the shepherd, he’s got to know where the manna is, to feed the—the sheep. Is that right?
[JBP] Now, from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation, each messenger is the shepherd of that church at that time; and under that messenger are the different helpers, ministers, who God puts by his side.
[284] Now, a little special. And watch this just a minute, the revelation, the hidden manna.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «The revelation = the Manna», right there, right next to it.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message preached by Dr. William Soto Santiago, titled “THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH POSSESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD,” which was preached on November 7, 2009 in Franca, Brazil, he tells us:
THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH POSSESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD: THE FIFTH EMPIRE
(General Ministers’ Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, November 7, 2009
Franca, São Paulo, Brasil
In Revelation, chapter 2, it speaks to us about the hidden Manna; and it tells us in chapter 2, verse 17:
“He that hath 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...”
Here we have the promise of that hidden Manna, here we have the promise of that spiritual food. Therefore, that Manna, the Word of God revealed for the Last Day, is the Food for the stage of the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is relevant to the Age of the Cornerstone, the stage that comes after the seven ages of the Church.
Therefore, what they will have will be of the hidden Manna; that is the Food for the soul of the believers in Christ of the Last Day.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE SEED IS NOT HEIR WITH THE SHUCK,” he tells us on page 22 of this version, of this booklet, he tells us:
[65-0218 - “The Seed Is Not Heir With The Shuck,” pp. 22-23, paras. 128-131] [Bible Study #208, 3/June/2022 (Friday), pp. 8-11]
[128] God promised rabbits in the days of Luther. He promised other things in the days of others. But now He promised us a full square Meal, the full seven course Menu, for all the Seven Seals are opened, and everything is ready for the Word of God, to those who can receive!…?…
[JBP] There he writes, on the left, upwards: [WSS] «Menu of 7 squirrels / 7 Seals = the 3rd Pull».
129 Hawks hopping like buzzards. Oh, my! Think of it, how critical, why—why the hour is. Just as the hawk has long lost his identification as a hawk, so has the church long lost her identification as a lesser (bird) brother of the eagle, God’s prophets.
Once the carrier of a true word, justification; then, become a carrier of sanctification; then, become a carrier of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, restoration of the gifts. But then, when He goes on: and keep going back, try to eat something, manna from another day ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «from the 7th age», it’s rotten, it’s no good.
A genuine eagle of this day knows that was all right. But we got that, plus, until Jesus Christ is made manifest in the fulness of His power, as He promised to be in this last day.
[JBP] There on the right, upwards, he writes: [WSS] «The Eagle».
And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and the seventh age, there he writes: [WSS] «7», and [WSS] «8» on the Cornerstone.
And where the paragraph ends: “in this last day,” there he writes: [WSS] «Last Day».
130 She is now a dry shuck ([JBP] above that he writes): [WSS] «Laodicea». It’s passed; the Spirit of God passed through her, is true. And will not, she will not be heir with the vindicated Seed Word. She sure will not be. She’ll not be in the Rapture. She’ll be a church member ([JBP] on the right, he writes): [WSS] «Rapture», may come up in the second resurrection, be judged according to what she’s heard.
If you’re here tonight, and just a church member, what’s your judgment going to be, when we all have to stand there and witness you heard the Truth? See?
[JBP] And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Judgment».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, do you remember page 359 of The Seals? Where he tells us there: [WMB] “They had heard all those things that those prophets had preached,” see? Page 369 [p. 424 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)]:
360 Notice the last verse of the Sixth Seal, opened. Those who had laughed at the preaching of the Word, of the vindicated Word of the living God; when them prophets had stood there and performed miracles, closed the sun, and everything else, and all down through the age. See, “They cried for the rocks and the mountains to hide them,” see, to hide them from the Word that they had laughed at, ’cause they seen Him come. “Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.” He is the Word. See? They had laughed at the Word. And here the Word was, incarnate. And they had made fun of It; laughed at them, made fun of them. And the incarnate Word had dropped forth! ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah».
361 Why didn’t they repent? They couldn’t. It was too far, then. So, they knowed that, the punishment. They hear It.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] See? They had heard. And here, in this message, he is telling us that they [“THE SEED IS NOT HEIR WITH THE SHUCK”]:
[130] … what’s your judgment going to be, when we all have to stand there and witness you heard the Truth?
[The Seals] [P. 424]
[361] They had sat in meetings like this and knowed about It. And they knowed that the things of those prophets, had predicted, was looking them right in the face, the thing that they had rejected. They had spurned mercy for the last time.
[WSS] «They had heard what was coming», he writes in this book of The Seals.
And here he also writes: [WSS] «Elijah and Moses, he who receives His Message receives mercy».
And in this one he also writes: [WSS] «Mercy for the last time».
[WSS] «The Word incarnate».
362 And when you spurn mercy, there is nothing left but judgment.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say here [“THE SEED IS NOT HEIR WITH THE SHUCK”]:
[130] … what’s your judgment going to be, when we all have to stand there and witness you heard the Truth? See?
She no more flies into the blue, into the unknown, unto the supernatural…
[JBP] Now, in this other book titled “THE SEED OF…” - “THE SEED IS NOT HEIR WITH THE SHUCK,” on that same page, there on the left he writes: [WSS] «Blue = the supernatural».
And also, look, here on the right he writes:
[WSS] «7th age will not be in the Rapture».
[WSS] «Every age ceases to be, denominationalizes and dies».
And in this other one he writes: [WSS] «Rabbits, hawk» (there on the left).
[130] She no more flies into the blue, into the unknown, unto the supernatural, where the Powers and heights, and the promises of God’s Eternal Word is made possible, “all things to them that believe.” She won’t believe That, she said. She falls right back on the telephone wire, and said, “My denomination says the rabbits is all right.” Though they got maggots in them, but, yet, “They’re all right,” see. She depends on that.
131 Pentecost is like her denominational vulture sister, setting now in large “counsel seats of the ungodly,” certainly, listening to her worldly, politic heads feeding her on vulture food of dead rabbits, of something that passed by, fifty years ago. That’s the condition of the Pentecostal church. Oh, my!
[JBP] And here as well, on the left, in that paragraph, there he writes: [WSS] «Menu of dead rabbits».
And he draws on the bottom part of the ages and the seventh age, and points to it with an arrow.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto Santiago continues to say here…, he continues reading that Scripture of Revelation 2 [(GMM) “THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH POSSESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD: THE FIFTH EMPIRE”]:
[WSS] “… and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
That is the New Name of the Lord, It is the Eternal Name of God. Therefore, the elect of the Last Day, who will be eating of the hidden Manna, will have the blessing of obtaining the knowledge of that New Name, which will be in that white Stone. It says:
“… which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this same unedited book of “THE AGES,” on page 254, he tells us… starting from paragraph 34:
[60-1208 - “The Thyatirean Church Age,” p. 6, para. 34]
34 And when Jesus overcome, His Name was changed. And He would reveal that Name ([JBP] and on the left he writes): [WSS] «the New 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 on the right, he writes): [WSS] «HIM». 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.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] He tells us that on page 131 of The Seals, where he speaks to us about these name changes, notice, in those overcomers. Page 130 [p. 150 in Eng. (First Seal)] says:
275 See, nobody knows It. Did you ever know that the Name of Jehovah is not correct? 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 he puts an): [WSS] «H» ([JBP] at the end).
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!
281 Simon was a fisherman. But when his faith caught and knowed that was Jesus ([JBP] notice, he knew who Jesus was), 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.
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. 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, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
285 There comes the Messiah. There He is…
[JBP] On page 130, look, across the whole part on the right, going downward like that, he writes:
[WSS] «Name change for the one who obtains the Victory in Divine Love».
[JBP] In these other ones he also has some writings; we have already read them.*
*Bible Study #307, 14/May/2023 (Sunday), pp. 48-51: [WSS] «In the morning, breaking dawn». / Study “The Eternal Name of God,” 2/Mar/2024 (Saturday), pp. 33-34: [WSS] «JVHU». [WSS] «YeHoWaH». [WSS] «The Sons of Thunder». [WSS] «revealed in Thunders / New Name». / Bible Study #434, 2/Aug/2024 (Friday), p. 11: [WSS] «Rev. 14:14-20».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now let’s continue here, on page 254, where we paused [P. 7]:
[34] 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] there on the right he writes): [WSS] «hidden Manna» oh, of who Jesus was, and what about Him, all about Him ([JBP] there at the bottom he writes): [WSS] «I will reveal My New Name to 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.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto Santiago continues to say here [(GMM) “THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH POSSESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD: THE FIFTH EMPIRE”]:
[WSS] Someone will receive It; and all those who will receive the one who will receive It, will also receive the revelation of that Name; and don’t doubt for a moment that they will also be called by that Name.
Just as those from Luther’s time, are called what?: Lutherans; those from Wesley’s time and who believe what Wesley taught, are called what?: Wesleyans; and so on.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of The Seals (in this book), on page 371 [p. 427 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)], Reverend William Branham tells us:
378 I know that there is many women in the world tonight, fine women, but I’m awful lonesome to see one. There is one of them that’s my wife. She goes home with me. She wasn’t my wife, to begin with; but how she become my wife, she took my name. (…)
[JBP] There he writes on the left: [WSS] «Meda».
[379] There is a lot of women, churches, in the world, but He is coming for His Wife. She is called by His Name.
[JBP] There on the left, he writes: [WSS] «Name».
And he writes: [WSS] «YHWH».
And on the right, notice, there he draws a Pyramid.
And there he draws the last three ages and the Cornerstone; and he puts… what he is speaking about there, that in each age they are called by the name of the messenger.
Notice, there in the part of Luther, the fifth age, he put: [WSS] «Lutherans».
In the sixth age: [WSS] «Wesleyans».
In the seventh age: [WSS] «Branhamites».
In other words, those who are called Branhamites, well, they belong to the seventh age.
And in the Cornerstone he writes: [WSS] «YHWH».
[379] There is a lot of women, churches, in the world, but He is coming for His Wife. She is called by His Name. “Them that are in Christ will God bring with Him.” How do we get into It? “By one Spirit we’re all baptized into one Body.”
[JBP] And there on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] He also tells us in the message “BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD WITH MEN,” preached on April 7, 2005 in Cali, Colombia, speaking to us about this Manna, he says… (April 7, 2005 in Cali, Colombia), Dr. William Soto Santiago says:
BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD WITH MEN
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Thursday, April 7, 2005
(Second activity)
Cali, Colombia
Notice, the manna could not be stored for a second day, except the one from the sixth day; in other words, Friday’s, Friday’s portion was used, and then the other portion (which was stored for Saturday) wouldn’t spoil.
And God commanded Moses, and Moses commanded Aaron, to take manna in a pot, and to put it inside the ark of the covenant there in the most holy place, where the ark of the covenant was. It says…
[JBP] And there he begins to read verse 33 of chapter 16.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s go to chapter 16 of Exodus, and read it starting from verse 23, to have everything that God commanded Moses there, and that Moses said to Aaron. Chapter 16, verse 23. Here our brother William begins to read to us from verse 33, but let’s go to 23, it says:
Exodus 16:23
23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
[JBP] There he draws a Star of David on the left.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
[JBP] And he draws another Star of David on the left.
On the right he writes: [WSS] «7th day = The millennium».
27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days ([JBP] on the right he writes): [WSS] «Manna for two days»; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
[JBP] There on verse 29 he draws two Stars of David.
And he writes adobe that, in two lines, he writes:
[WSS] «The 6th day = 6th disp.
Bread for 2 days = 2 disp.» (with a “p,” a period; but it’s abbreviated).
And at the bottom as well, above the Stars of David:
[WSS] «The 7th day = 7th millennium, 7th dispensation».
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
[JBP] And there he draws a Star of David on the left.
And he writes upwards, on the left: [WSS] «The hidden Manna. Rev. 2:17; Hebrews 9:4».
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left.
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years ([JBP] on verse 35 he draws a Star of David on the left), until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
[JBP] Here at the top, in the margin, he writes: [WSS] «In the 6th dispensation one gathers for 2 dispensational days: it’s for the 6th and 7th dispensation».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say here, already reading verse 33 [“BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD WITH MEN”]:
“And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.”
[JBP] Brother William says:
[WSS] By being placed before God it would not spoil at any point, it would remain there forever.
[JBP] And the children of God at this end time, by eating of that Manna and It being placed before the presence of God, they will remain before the Lord forever, with eternal and glorified bodies; in other words, this body will never corrupt again. It says that “we who are alive will be changed.” [1 Corinthians 15:51-52] That Word is completely fulfilled in them, because in them that Manna will be completely before the presence of God. And nothing contrary to the Word will corrupt it either: they will remain pure because they have that Manna in their lives.
The Work that He is carrying out in the heart, in the soul, of every elect of God is a Work that is blue: “supernatural”; as he puts there [WSS] «Blue = supernatural»; knowing the unknown, what you never knew.
Now, our brother William continues saying:
“As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.”
And now, for forty years God fed the Hebrew people with manna that fell from heaven and with fowls that fell as well [by day] (they came down, God brought them); God sent His Angels to carry out that work. For forty years God giving the Hebrew people meat and bread, a diet they needed to stay in good health.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book “Adoption,” or “adopted” (this one, with this cover), he tells us on page… (here, it’s page 13, but in the other version that was printed it’s on page 11), here on page 11 (which is page 13 in this one) he says:
[60-0515E - “Adoption #1,” pp. 11-12, paras. 64-68]
65 Now, if you want to know…
[JBP] A bit before, he says:
64 Watch how he addresses this. This is not to the unbelievers. This is to the church. It’s called to the called-out ones, the sanctified and called ones that are in Christ Jesus.
65 Now, if you want to know how we get in Christ Jesus, if you’ll turn to First Corinthians 12, it said, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body.” ([JBP] First Corinthians 12:13). How? Baptized by what? The Holy Ghost. Not by water baptism, you Church of Christ people, but by one capital S-p-i-r-i-t, by one Spirit. Not by one handshake, by one letter, not by one sprinkle.
[JBP] In other words, they make up a lot of things; that is why they should not be making things up and trying to do things in the congregations; that displeases God. They try to impose things; like, for example, there are places that try to force the brethren to wear a shirt with something written on it: they shouldn’t do that! And to try to greet each other a certain way… they want to be all mystical.
[65] But, “By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body,” our possession, the Land that God give us to live in, the Holy Ghost. Just as He give Canaan to the Jews, He’s give us the Holy Spirit. “By one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body.” You get it?
66 Now, he’s talking to the spiritual Canaanites, Israel, the spiritual Israel who has possessed the land. Oh, aren’t you glad you’ve come out of Egypt’s garlic? Aren’t you glad you’re out of the wilderness? And, remember, they had to eat manna, Angel’s food out of Heaven, until they crossed over into the land. And when they crossed over into the land, the manna ceased to fall. They were fully matured then, and they eat the old corn of the land. Now, now that you’re not babies anymore ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «corn» ([JBP] on the left), now that you’re not desiring the sincere milk of the Gospel, that you don’t have to be babied, and patted, and persuaded to come to church, now that you’re real fully matured Christians, you’re ready to eat strong meats now.
[JBP] In the book of Quotations he speaks that [WMB] “the Thunders are Algebra”*; that is already a strong meal.
*[63-0116 - “The Evening Messenger,” p. 34 para. 249] [Study “Identifying the Fulfillment in the Scripture,” 4-2/May/2024 (Saturday), p. 68: [WSS] «Algebra = The Thunders».]
[66] “You’re ready to come into something,” he said. You’re ready to understand something that’s deep and rich. Oh, we’ll get into it directly. And, oh, it’s been hidden since the foundation of the world. He said, “Now that you’ve come into this, I’m addressing this to you.” Not to those who’ve just left Egypt, not to those who are still in the journey, but to those who are in the promised land, that has received the promise.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David there on the left.
67 How many’s received the promise of the Holy Ghost? Oh, aren’t you glad that you’re in the land? Over here now, eating the old corn, eating the strong things of God and got a clear understanding ([JBP] on the left he writes): [WSS] «corn». Your—your spiritual mind is all unmuddled up. You know exactly Who He is. You know exactly what He is. You know exactly where you’re going. You know exactly all about It. You know in Whom you have believed and persuaded He’s able to keep that which you’ve committed to Him against the day. Oh, that’s the one, that’s who Paul’s talking to now. Listen close. Now watch.
…the faithful in Christ Jesus:
68 Now, let me have the church to repeat that. How do we get into Christ? By joining church? No. By putting our name on a book? No. By being baptized by immersing? No. How do we get into Christ? By one Holy Spirit are we all baptized into one promise, the Body, and are partakers of all that belongs into the land. Amen! Oh, I—I like that. If I wasn’t hoarse, I could shout. My, when I get in this land, it’s mine. I’m home now; I’m in Canaan. I’m subject to anything God wants to use me for. I’m walking on holy grounds, a child of the King, all robed and ready. I’ve come out of Egypt, come up through the promised land, stood the trials, passed over Jordan into this blessed promise.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice here what he, Dr. William Soto Santiago, continues to say where we paused [“BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD WITH MEN”]:
[WSS] But sometimes, like what happens to some people, they get tired of a good diet, that happened to Hebrew people: they got tired, and they were already getting bored of the manna and the fowls that God gave them.
Now, the manna that was put in a pot and taken to the most holy place, put inside the ark of the covenant, did not spoil, it remained there.
Therefore, in the Temple of God, in the Most Holy Place, there must be a hidden Manna to be given to the people of God; and there must be a Manna to be given from age to age. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” [Mathew 4:4]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “JEZEBEL RELIGION,” on page 24, Reverend William Branham tells us:
[61-0319 - “Jezebel Religion,” pp. 20-21, paras. 107-113] [Study “Receiving the quickening power through the Teaching under the Tent,” 16-2/Aug/2022 (Tuesday), pp. 8-12]
107 But, one day, God called him out again!
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «5th Elijah».
And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Elijah / wilderness».
[107] Here he come out. Listen close now, and don’t get angry with me. I’m saying, “THUS SAITH THE LORD!” When he come out, what did God do? He sent him to a widow woman. She once had a—a man power over her head, but it took death to set her free so she could believe the prophet’s Word ([JBP] See? She was a widow). You notice that? She had a husband that guided her to this way and that way, in one of the schools down there. But during this great drought, he had been gobbled up, death had took him. She was no more hooked in any organization, so she was ready now to hear the Word of the Lord ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David on the left). A woman, meaning the Church ([JBP] he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, on the right); a widow, that her husband (organization) had died, and she was just barely think she’s living herself. And God said, “Go down to her now, she’ll hear you, I’ve commanded her.”
[JBP] He draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.
108 Oh, we think sometimes, you little group there that’s so faithful and do everything you can to have a meeting, to try to show to the people that your heart’s right and you want them to get right, you think you’re having a hard time. But, remember, God has got His eye on you! You love Him, I know you love Him, you wouldn’t set here, you wouldn’t attend any such a thing. God has got His eye on you. Yes!
109 And when he did, her husband had died, her organization died, so now she’s ready to hear the prophet’s Word. So when the prophet come to the gate and asked her for a—a little water, she went to get it. Then he said, “Bring me a morsel of meal.”
110 And she turned and said, “As the Lord lives, I don’t have nothing but just enough.”
111 Now, it looked like that he was sent to take what little she had, but it was vice versa. When she was willing to give what she had to support of the Word, God fed her. And if you’re willing to give what Spirit you do have, what Spirit that God has give you to support of the Word, then God will keep you alive ([JBP] Amen!).
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Faith in the Word and God will keep you…».
Meaning, what’s missing there is «alive».
[WSS] «Faith in the Word and God will keep you…».
[111] Hallelujah! Oh, glory to God! Do you see it, church? Don’t think I’m beside myself, I’m not. But what you have got, what little you do believe in God, what faith you have got, place it on the Word, not on organization! Put it in God’s Word, He’ll keep you alive.
112 She was ready then, ’cause she couldn’t before, ’cause they wouldn’t let her. But now she’s ready. Will she receive it? ([JBP] And there he draws a Star of David on the left). God sent a prophet her way. Will she receive his Word? Will she receive this prophet? Yes, she did. And he told her, said, “Now, what little life you have got, place it in here, bring it to me first.” And what happened? When the rest of the world was languishing and dying in hunger, her and her children and her household all eat three good meals a day, Divine revelation on the Word.
[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «Elijah and the widow».
And he draws a Star of David on the left.
And he writes: [WSS] «Food = Divine revelation on the Word».
[112] I hope you see it, friends.
113 What went on? He stayed there until the famine was over, living with this woman (this Church) that received him and believed his Word.
[JBP] What a beautiful picture this is! In the context of what we are living today.
And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.
113 What went on? He stayed there until the famine was over, living with this woman (this Church) that received him and believed his Word. And he kept her alive (kept the Church alive) by the Word of the Lord, because he said “THUS SAITH THE LORD.”
[JBP] Amen.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD WITH MEN”]:
[WSS] The manna represents Christ, and Christ is the Word.
Therefore, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ on Her journey to the promised land of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ and to the promised land of the new and eternal body, God has been giving the revealed Word, the spiritual manna, the spiritual food for our soul…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this message that we read, on page 28, titled “THE SEED IS NOT HEIR WITH THE SHUCK,” on page 28 he tells us:
[65-0218 - “The Seed Is Not Heir With The Shuck,” pp. 29-30, paras. 167-169]
167 Now, I know there is sick here. Our time has got away from us, tonight, for a prayer line. Maybe we’ll get it, though. I want each one of you do something for me. You’re setting close to somebody; lay your hands over on that person.
And no doubt you’re putting your hand upon an eagle, maybe an eagle that has been eating some vulture food somewhere; gotten sick of it. They don’t want it no more. They want to come out of it. They’re sick and tired of it. Set here tonight and see what eagles really can eat ([JBP] and he writes on the left): [WSS] «Eagle — Manna», the Word, and have a living Christ living among them, showing Himself alive, the same yesterday, today, and forever. They don’t want to be heirs with the shucks; they’re to be burned. All the straws and things is to be burned ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the shuck» ([JBP] above that). The combine ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» is coming to beat the Wheat out. You want to be Wheat.
[JBP] And there on the left as well he writes: [WSS] «The combine».
168 There is some of them that’s sick, some of them physically sick. I want you to pray, eagle. Pray for your brother, sister eagle there, as I pray for you here. May the Spirit of God come upon you.
169 Remember, I’m giving you the Food of the Eagle, the promise of God ([JBP] and above he writes): [WSS] «the 2nd Coming of the Lord». He calls His prophets, “eagles.” He calls Himself “a Eagle,” He is Jehovah Eagle.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Jehovah Eagle».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William goes on to say [“BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN”]:
[WSS] … it is Christ revealed in the midst of His Church giving us His Word, giving us of Himself, to feed our soul on our Christian trajectory in the midst of the human race.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And there’s a writing in a Bible study, where he tells us: [WSS] «Today: the hidden Manna: The 7 Thunders and the 7th Seal».
“THE HIDDEN MANNA.”
[JBP] Let’s stand and sing a song. I don’t know if Ruth Daniela can join us here with the song Psalm 103, and Jose Guillermno, the director, can be there, and we can all sing this song. And this way, we prepare ourselves to have this message for today, this subject: “THE HIDDEN MANNA”; which we are receiving at this time and we are being fed by that Food, that portion that was kept for our time. That Manna contains the Rapturing Faith, which is in and contained in the Thunders. Psalm 103:
PSALM 103
Bless the Lord, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless His holy Name.
// Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. //
[JBP] Amen.
“THE HIDDEN MANNA.”
Let’s leave with us our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
