BIBLE STUDY #511 – SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2025
Second activity
Cayey, Puerto Rico
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present; it’s truly a great blessing and a privilege that the Lord grants us on this beautiful morning to be gathered in this place; and we have glorified Him, we have exalted His Name, and we now prepare ourselves to receive His Word.
Greetings to Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin there in Monterrey, where he is; and also, to all those connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite, and other means of communication.
Today, Sunday, April 27th of this year 2025, our subject is:
WORDS OF GREETING TO THE MINISTERS Dr. William Soto Santiago Wednesday, March 25, 2009 Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And let’s read in the sacred Scriptures, in the book of Revelation, in chapter 14, verse 1 and on; and also chapter 7. Let’s first read chapter 7 of the book of Revelation; it says:
Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
[JBP] There he writes on the side: [WSS] «Joseph».
And he also writes: [WSS] «Ephraim».
[JBP] In this chapter 7, from 4 to 8, he numbers each name of every tribe, from 1 to 12.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s turn to chapter 14 of this book of Revelation, here we already see them on Mount Zion:
Revelation 14:1
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «denominations»; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the right.
[JBP] This happens before the great tribulation begins, the sealing of these 144,000, which we see in the book of The Seals*. Now, before that happens, a very important Work is being carried out on Earth under the messianic ministry; ministry that will be fulfilled in the Third Pull (as it is called by Reverend William Branham), which is the ministry of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
*[The Seals, “The Sixth Seal,” p. 413, paras. 266-269]
And just like in the Third Pull in the First Coming of the Lord there was a Levitical breakdown: in His Second Coming it’s a breakdown in the ministry, in which the Work of the Lamb is finished and the Work of the Lion begins; that Work that He came carrying out two thousand years ago is broken: throughout those two thousand years, that ministry as Lamb is left finished and the ministry of Lion comes in.
Just like in the Third Pull of Jesus ended that part of the goats, which represented, typified, the perfect Lamb, which was fulfilled in the First Coming of the Lord as the Lamb; which was represented in those lambs in the Old Testament; and those lambs that were sacrificed were pointing to that perfect Lamb.
Now notice, in His Third Pull there, which is the Third Pull of the ministry of Jesus after He was adopted; He finished, fulfilled, that Levitical order; and He established a new order, which He did Himself. Therefore, in His Second Coming, He Himself would have that ministerial breakdown, which has been coming forth for about two thousand years now.
Now, all of this is being fulfilled, and this interlace is taking place in which we are already in the stage of the beginning of that new dispensation.
The Dispensation of Grace has already been shut. There is no opportunity to enter into the presence of God through that Door.
Now, God is doing something on this Earth, which was shown in that vision that God gave Reverend William Branham, where the Pillar of Fire was working in the midst of the people, bringing preaching*, that is, Teaching.
*[March, 1956, Full Gospel Business Men’s Voice Magazine, Vol. IV, No. 2, pp. 11-14] • [56-0408A - “What Is A Vision?” pp. 16-17, paras. 101-109] • [58-1001 - “Lifting Him Up Out Of History,” pp. 1-2, paras. 4-5, 8-9] • [56-0219 - “Being Led Of The Holy Spirit,” pp. 7-8, paras. 20-26]
He saw altar calls there, he saw prayer lines there, and he saw countless things there, all of which would have a process, a time, between one and the other, but they would be interlacing until the time came when all those things that he saw would be carried out in the midst of the people of God.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “HEAVENLY LIGHT,” preached on March 19, 1978, Dr. William Soto tells us:
HEAVENLY LIGHT Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, March 19, 1978 Cayey, Puerto Rico
… and then we see that the Thunders utter their voices, they speak here on Earth. And we find that the Thunders will be manifesting themselves, and will be heard; and the people who will be listening to them, the first to hear them, will be under the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; because then the Thunders, we find that the Thunders will be thundering: the Voice of the Lord in His Second Coming will be speaking in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
[JBP] In some places, in the book of Quotations, he writes: [WSS] «the Thunders in the Tent» or [WSS] «the Tent: the Thunders».
And he also writes: [WSS] «The Teaching, the Thunders: in the Tent».*
*[Study “The Tent and the Teaching,” 14-4/June/2022 (Tuesday), p. 6 / Study “Eighth Day = the day of vengeance,” 23/July/2022 (Saturday), p. 15 / Study “The apostolic teaching in the Tent,” 18/Aug/2022 (Thursday), pp. 13-16 / Bible Study #258, 25/Nov/2022 (Friday), p. 37: [WSS] «The Tent and the Teaching». [WSS] «2002 / Tent». [WSS] «The Teaching in the Tent = The 7 Thunders, Vials, the 7 Trumpets». [WSS] «The 7 Trumpets. The 7 Vials. The 7 Thunders». [WSS] «Apostolic teaching in the Tent». [WSS] «The Tent and the apostolic Teaching».]
[WSS] I believe you are understanding what I’m telling you; in plain words: the Lord in His Second Coming will be in a Tent ministry, in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision; and His Voice, the Voice of Christ in His Second Coming, will be heard there…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations, on page 37, paragraph 311, it tells us:
[60-0522E - “Adoption #4,” p. 10, paras. 34, 36] [Study “The Age of Cornerstone, the Coming of the Lord,” 9/Nov/2022 (Wednesday), pp. 19-20 / Continuation of the Study: “The mystery of the general assembly of the firstborn written in Heaven,” 11-2/Feb/2023 (Saturday), pp. 7-9]
311 - “34 Now, notice, then the Coming of the Lord Jesus is so close at hand until the Spirit from way down in here…just barely justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and now right into the time of the coming of the Headstone. The Church has got to be so perfectly like Christ until Christ and the Church can unite together, the same Spirit. And if the Spirit of Christ is in you, It makes you live the life of Christ, act the life of Christ, do the works of Christ. ‘He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also.’ Jesus said that. See? Now we’re going to have, we got a ministry coming that’s just exactly like the life of Christ. What does that ministry identify? The Coming of the Lord.”
[JBP] And in a Bible study, placed next to that excerpt, he writes: [WSS] «The identification of the ministry is the Coming of the Lord».
[JBP] What identifies that ministry? The Coming of the Lord Itself.
311 - “[36] Look at the Lutheran church under justification, coming just so freshly from Catholicism, look at it moving. Then look at Wesley coming a little closer, into sanctification, weaving into the Scriptures. Look at right in between, the Wesley. Then the next thing come in was the Pentecostal age. And the Pentecostal age with the restoration of the gifts, the spiritual gifts. Now, look at the age coming now right up to the Headstone. See what I mean? The Coming of the Lord ([JBP] and on the left he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone), the made known. God and all creations is waiting for the church to positionally find its place.”
[JBP] Upward, on the right, he writes: [WSS] «The Age of the Cornerstone».
And at the top he writes: [WSS] «The Age of the Cornerstone — the Coming of the Lord».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues saying here, in the message “HEAVENLY LIGHT”:
[WSS] … and everything that had been promised to be open to the public, to be made known —which would be made known through the Thunders—, will be made known through the Thunders in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of The Seals, on page 482 [p. 561 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], it tells us… 482 at the bottom, says:
[398] See, Israel gathering in its own homeland. But, you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal.
399 And here, when the Seventh Seal, when He opened It, He also omitted It again, see. So we see that It is a complete mystery, therefore the hour is not yet for the mystery to be known. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time.
[JBP] He draws an arrow towards the right with the Cornerstone and the ages.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And let’s turn to 483, where it tells us at the bottom, turning the page to 484 [The Seals] [P. 562]:
405 Another thing, I want you to notice what taken place. And if you’re listening to the tape, of the What Time Is It, Sir? ([JBP] which was [at] the end of the month of December, 1962*), you will notice that one Angel was very notable to me. The rest of Them just was seemed ordinarily. But this Angel was a noted Angel. He was to my left ([JBP] there on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and he writes): [WSS] «left», in the constellation in the form of a pyramid.
*[62-1230E - “Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir?”]
[JBP] Where in the Tent Vision did brother Branham see…?, he was standing there, and looking towards the pulpit, he saw that the Pillar of Fire rested —that Light— upon a little room*. Where was the little room located? On the left. Therefore, that Angel, that ministry of that Angel is operating in that instrument from a Great Tent Cathedral, and his office is there.
*[The Seals, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 548, paras. 296-299] [March, 1956, “Full Gospel Business Men’s Voice Magazine, Vol. IV, No. 2,” p. 14]
Because always, in every age and in every dispensation, He has used and uses His ambassadors, which are His prophets, His messengers. “Surely the Lord will do nothing, without first revealing His secrets unto His servants, His prophets.” Amos 3:7.
Therefore, the fulfillment of the Tent Vision is the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord, of the ministry of Moses, Elijah and Jesus; it is the messianic ministry.
And that Angel is the one who is operating at this end time in the midst of the Church-Bride. As simple as that. He is the one who has the Seventh Seal, he is the one who has the Second Coming of the Lord, he is the one who has the mystery for which there was silence in Heaven for half an hour.
Now, it says:
406 And, remember, it was in the pyramid, where the mysterious white Rock was not written on. And the Angels took me into that pyramid of Themselves, the mysteries of God known only to Them.
[JBP] Above that he writes: [WSS] «The Claim», on the margin.
[406] And the Angels took me into that pyramid of Themselves, the mysteries of God known only to Them. And, now, Them was the Messengers had come to interpret that pyramid, or that Message of the secret of these Seven Seals which lays withinside the pyramid.
407 Now, the Angel, was to my left, would really be the last, or seventh Angel, if we would count Them from left to right. Because, He was on my left; me looking to Him, towards the west, Him coming towards the east, would be on the left side. So, that would be the last angel’s Message, very notable. Remember how I said He had His, got His head back; and His great, sharp wings ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» ([JBP] because the Son of Man comes with His Angels); and how He flew right to me. Now, that is this Seventh Seal ([JBP] and again he writes above that): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah». It still is a notable thing. And we are…We don’t know what It is, as yet, because It’s not permitted to be broken.
[JBP] In the corner of page 484 on the left, at the very top he writes: [WSS] «White Stone».
And at the end of that paragraph we read, he writes: [WSS] «The 7th Seal not opened».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say here [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] … and when brother Branham saw, he was taken up there, he saw and heard inside of the Tent; he says that he heard, when he was taken to the Tent, he says that he heard those Thunders; let’s see where brother Branham heard them. We are actually reviewing all these things; but in this review, well, I hope that we can see anything that we’ve overlooked.
[JBP] Do you remember in the writing that [WSS] «the Word has been given, has been brought; now we have to review»?* Why does he have us review? Well, so that we wouldn’t overlook when God was carrying out the fulfillment of what was promised.
*[WSS] «The True Word - 8 / The Message has already been given. / And now to review what has already been brought, there is no other Message at the top of Mount Zion».

Remember when Mary… There were two occasions, one was when the shepherds said that about Jesus to Joseph and Mary there, and she pondered on it; and also another occasion when…, uh, they went to - He was found inside the temple, it says that “Mary pondered and kept all these things in her heart”; meaning, she remembered all of that, she reflected on it. I don’t know if it’s in Luke or Matthew… There were two places where it shows us that Mary…; and Mary represents the Church of the Lord, the spiritual Mary, where that Son was born of Her at that end time, who is alive in the midst of the people, bringing about the Messianic fulfillment.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, let’s see where it’s at. Luke…? Luke 2 tells us… verse 15, it says:
Luke 2:15
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] See? And in the same chapter 2, verse what? 51, there it tells us… verse 50… or look, from verse 49, there it tells us:
Luke 2:49
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
[JBP] And here on the right, in this Bible, he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and a Star of David next to the Cornerstone there.
In other words, where are the ministries of Moses and Elijah found? In the Age of the Cornerstone.
In that new generation that began in ‘86, they had to find him in the midst of the Church, in the spiritual Temple, in the Most Holy Place.
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
[JBP] And He was 12 years old there.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
[JBP] And there he draws another Star of David, on the right.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, brother William continues to say here [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] Notice that he says those Thunders utter their voices and open the mystery, the mystery of the Seventh Seal; and he says that the Third Pull is the same as the Tent Vision; because when the Lord told him that it was the Third Pull, when He took him into the Tent and he saw and heard everything that he saw and heard, and saw all that, the Lord said to him: “And that’s the Third Pull.” See? The Third Pull shown in the Tent Vision.
And now, notice…
[JBP] The Seals, page 474 [p. 551 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], and there he is going to read that portion. Let’s have it open there: page 474 of the book The Seals, where that part starts off there:
“322 Now notice. So help me, by God, I tell the Truth, that These are spiritually discerned to me, discerned by the Holy Spirit. And, by every one of Them, has identified Its place in the Bible.
323 Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal ([JBP] and brother William says) (he is speaking [in] about the Seventh Seal), I do not know. I don’t know it. I couldn’t make it out. I couldn’t tell It, just what It—just what It said, but I know that It was them Seven Thunders uttering themselves right close together, just banging seven different times. And It unfolded into something else that I seen ([JBP] and brother William says) (he saw It). Then, when I seen That, I looked for the interpretation. It flew across there, and I couldn’t make It out. That’s exactly right. See? The hour isn’t quite yet for It.
324 But, It’s moving into that cycle, see. It’s coming up close. So, the thing for you to do is to remember that I speak to you in the Name of the Lord. Be prepared, for you don’t know what time something can happen.”
[JBP] And here, on “what time something can happen,” he writes on top: [WSS] «The 2nd Coming of Christ».
[JBP] Now, Dr. William Soto continues saying:
[WSS] You don’t know [at] in what time you’ll also hear the Thunders and what is promised there (you know) will take place; therefore, be prepared. Let me see if I can get you a little something here that is missing; there we saw that he looked for the interpretation and it flew past him, he wasn’t able to interpret it.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message “THE MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED BEFORE US,” on page 7, it tells us… let’s see here:
[64-0629 - “The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us,” pp. 6-7, paras. 41-42] [Study “The Fulfillment of the Written Word for the Messianic Age Yesterday and Today,” 1/Apr/2023 (Saturday), pp. 12-14]
41 It’s like many of you men, women, here tonight, may be my age or little older. You remember, here in America, years ago, before…The Chinese…(...). How that they used to…They couldn’t speak English, and they—they run the laundry. (...) The—the Chinese laundry men would take a tag, and would tear it in a certain way. You take one part of the tag; he’d take the other part. But when you come back to claim your belongings, those two pieces of paper had to dovetail. And if they didn’t dovetail just exactly right…You couldn’t impersonate it in any way ([JBP] they would tear the paper, it had to match exactly; it couldn’t be all mismatched), ’cause he had one piece and you had the other. And if it impersonated…Then you had a right to claim what was yours. (...)
42 So is it, tonight, when we got the other part of the contract. When, God tore His Son in two, at Calvary, taking the body up for a Sacrifice, and sent the Spirit down to us, that once lived in a Man, Jesus. That same God is in veil tonight, in the form of the Holy Ghost ([JBP] and on the left, he writes): [WSS] «The Holy Spirit». Those two pieces has to come together, then you’re part of the contract. God did this, to be better known to man, when He made Hisself Man.
[JBP] And below he writes: [WSS] «The promise — a piece of paper / The fulfillment — the other part».
[JBP] In other words, notice that the elect would have the Message, the prophecy, the promise, and they would also have the fulfillment.
What good is it for you to have the promise (that piece of paper), to have the prophecy, to have the promise, to have the Message…? “I have all the books.” What good is it to you, if you don’t have the fulfillment?
Blessed are the elect, who have the fulfillment and the Message! We have the Message and the fulfillment.
And they might say: “I know the Message from top to bottom”; but if they don’t have that Word being quickened, brought to life: they have nothing!
What good was it back then for them to believe that the lamb they were going to sacrifice pointed to that perfect Lamb…? When the perfect Lamb appeared to them, what good was it for them to believe in Moses and the prophets, if once the perfect Lamb was there, they didn’t believe Him? See?
And that’s how it is at this time. What good is it to have the knowledge of the Message, from top to bottom, but when the fulfillment of the Coming of the Lord comes along, the fulfillment of what was promised, forerun by Reverend William Branham, then they reject him? They say he’s a madman, an usurper, Beelzebub: “He’s an imposter.” The same thing that happened in the First Coming of the Lord.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say here [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] We find on page… let’s see what page it is; he said the reason he couldn’t interpret or decipher what was said. I think I have it around here; he was speaking about the Tent Vision, he says: [The Seals, “The Seventh Seal,” pp. 548-549]
“298 A Voice come, said…”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And that is… let’s see here on page…, which is from the book of The Seals, to have it open there. He’s talking about the Tent Vision. Let’s look here… 465… and four hundred… let’s see, 467… it’s 471 but I’m looking for a place. 467 before we turn to 471, he says [P. 543]:
[261] I’ve got wrote down here, when it happened ([JBP] meaning, when the matter of the Tent Vision is fulfilled):, if you can see here, “Stop. Go no further than this right here.” I’m not prone to be a fanatic. I’m just telling the Truth.
262 But you remember the little shoe, that I always tried to explain how that the soul laid next to so-and-so, and the inner conscience, and all that kind of stuff?
[JBP] And he draws three circles there on the right, and he writes: [WSS] «soul».
And above that, in that margin, a bit further up, where we started to read, he draws a Cornerstone, the ages; and at the Cornerstone he writes: [WSS] «soul».
And on top: [WSS] «Most Holy Place».
[262] Which, it only made a big bunch of impersonations start after it. How they have to take up the hand, and hold the people, and have vibration? Everybody had a vibration in their hands.
263 But you remember, when He took me up there, and said, “This is that Third Pull, and no one will know It.” You remember that? Visions never fail. They are perfectly the Truth.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, on 471, that’s where he starts to read [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
“298 A Voice come, said, ‘You can’t teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things.’ Said, ‘Now, let them alone!’
299 And just then He picked me up. He took me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or a cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody, above me ([JBP] there he draws a Cornerstone, the ages; and the arrow in the seventh age, where he was; and an arrow towards the Cornerstone), that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, ‘I’ll meet you there.’ And said, ‘This will be the Third Pull, and you won’t tell It to nobody. ([JBP] brother William says) (what will the Third Pull be?)’
And in Sabino Canyon, He said, ‘This is the Third Pull’ ([JBP] brother William says) (meaning, that matter about the Sword in his hand).
300 And there’s three great things that goes with It. And one unfolded today, or, yesterday ([JBP] and he writes here in the book): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah, the 6th Seal»; the other one unfolded today ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «7th Seal»; and there’s one thing ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the 2nd Coming of the Lord» that I cannot interpret, because it’s in an unknown language. But I stand right there and looked right straight at It. And this is the Third Pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God…Oh, my!
That’s the reason all Heaven was silent.”
[JBP] Dr. William Soto goes on to say, after reading there:
[WSS] Why was all Heaven silent? Because of that Third Pull, that was left; the last part of the Third Pull, which was left; it was because of part that Heaven was silent, and brother Branham says that what he saw there, the Angel told him: “That’s the Third Pull”; and what happened to him in Sabino Canyon, the sword in his hand, he, a man, a prophet with the sword in his hand, that was the Third Pull back then and that becomes the Third Pull again, the part of the Third Pull that was left…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 12-A of this book of Quotations, paragraph 117, it tells us:
[63-0317E - “The Breach Between The Seven Church Ages And The Seven Seals” p. 67, para. 15] [Bible Study #246, 14-2/Oct/2022 (Friday), p. 24 / Bible Study #481, 12-2/Jan/2025 (Sunday), pp. __-__]
117 - “15 Even though the sword be the Word, it takes the hand of strong faith to hold It there, to bring It to the heart of the enemy.”
[JBP] And he writes on the right: [WSS] «Rev. 19:11-21».
And on top he writes: [WSS] «The strong hand = The faith / The Sword = The Word».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And Dr. William Soto continues to say [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] … that’s why he said: “I have to hand this Sword over to somebody else.”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] That is in the book of Quotations - of Seals - of The Seals, where he is praying there; on page 479 [p. 558 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], there he tells us:
[373] I know my days can’t be too many more. And I pray that You’ll help me, to let me be true, Lord, and honest and sincere, that I might be able to bear the Message as far as it’s ordained for me to bear. And when it comes to the time that I must lay down, and I get down to the River ([JBP] above that he writes): [WSS] «Rev. 19:11-21», and the waves begin to come in, O God, may I be able to hand this old Sword over to somebody else that’ll be honest with It, Lord, and will pack the Truth.
[JBP] And on top he writes there, in that last sentence I read: [WSS] «The Word to Moses and Elijah, the Angel of Jesus».
And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the right side, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone.
[JBP] That’s where there is that writing that he left us in a notebook, where he writes: [WSS] «After me…», that was written by Dr. William Soto in a writing: [WSS] «After me comes another messenger».
[WSS] «How can I hand this Sword over to somebody else who packs the Truth...».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] Now, all these things are the reason why there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour; silence where? Not on Earth but in Heaven; because of these things that would happen in the opening of the Seventh Seal, and that is the Second Coming of the Lord.
Now, you can see that the Seventh Seal is the Second Coming of the Lord; and in the Second Coming of the Lord the Thunders utter their voices, in the Second Coming of the Lord it is the time of the ministry of Tent…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE ANOINTED ONES AT THE END TIME,” where there’s a portion on the back of the message “The Angel’s Visit” in this booklet, there, when he’s narrating the matter of the Tent Vision, and he tells him:
[March 1956, “Full Gospel Business Men’s Voice Magazine, Vol. IV, No. 2,” p. 14] [Study “A Higher Dimension: The Age of the Cornerstone,” 14/Oct/2023 (Saturday), pp. 13-16]
THE TENT VISION EXPLAINED Full Gospel Business Men’s Voice Magazine Vol. IV, No. 2, March 1956
I heard the familiar swishing sound made by the light that accompanies my ministry ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «swishing sound» ([JBP] on the left upwards), and I saw it go from me to the little room. The Angel of The Lord was still standing by me in the air. He said to me, “I’ll meet you in there!”
[JBP] In today’s message you’ll see that brother William there says that [WSS] “there is a little wooden room (he says) for someone, to study.”* Therefore, it has to be a veil of flesh, who needs to be searching, studying, praying to God; and God opening up the full picture to him, and giving him the Message of that time that he is going to preach; searching for everything… See? A place of study.
*[Message from Sunday’s study, April 27, 2025: MM 2009-03-25 “Words of Greeting to Minister,” pp. 7-8]
I saw his hand point to the little room. He added, “This is the third pull!” I said, “I do not understand this.” He replied, “In there, I will meet you!”
[JBP] And he writes here: [WSS] «It is the ministry of the Lord in His 2nd Coming».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues saying here [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] … the Thunders utter their voices, in the Second Coming of the Lord it is the time of the Tent ministry, in the Second Coming of the Lord it is the time for the elect to receive the rapturing faith, in the Coming of the Lord it is the time for the Light to shine from Heaven, in the Second Coming of the Lord it is the time for the Trumpet to sound, in the Second Coming of the Lord it is the time for the dead in Christ to then resurrect and for us (who are alive) to be transformed, at that time.
Therefore, then all these things are the ones under that Seventh Seal. Notice that under each of the past Seals, of the Church ages, under each Seal there was a messenger, with a Message, and there was a group of believers who received that Message, and who were sealed by that messenger with the Message brought by that messenger.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE,” on page 34, there Reverend William Branham tells us:
[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 52-53, paras. 411-413] [Bible Study #455, 13-2/Oct/2024 (Sunday), pp. 71-72]
[411] Oh, brother, He didn’t pull no punches with them. That’s right.
412 That was the fruit of God ([JBP] meaning, referring to Jesus). What was it? Stay with the Word of God, make the Word of God manifest.
413 He said, otherwise, “What did the Scriptures say I the Messiah would do when I come? Now, if I don’t bear that fruit of that Word, then I’m not the Messiah. But if I bear the fruit of that Word that the Messiah was supposed to do, then I am Him.”
[JBP] And he writes to the left side upwards: [WSS] «The fruit of the prophetic Word is the fulfillment».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr, William Soto continues to say here [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] And in the Second Coming of the Lord, in the Seventh Seal, there will be a messenger with the Message [revelant] that is relevant to that time; and that messenger will be the Lord in His Second Coming, and with Him will be called, by that Message, the elect will be called, they will be claimed, and they will be in that Message relevant for that time, for the Coming of the Lord. That is why the fourth Elijah always said: “Watch for the Coming of the Lord”; we are watching for the Coming of the Lord.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “CHRIST IS IDENTIFIED THE SAME IN ALL GENERATIONS,” look, on page 9, Reverend William Branham tells us:
[64-0415 - “Christ Is Identified The Same In All Generations,” p. 9, paras. 54-56] [Bible Study #262, 9/Dec/2022 (Friday), p. 12]
54 Now, remember. Don’t forget. Our theme is, and our text, that, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
55 Now, my text subject for tonight is: Christ Is Identified The Same In All Generations.
56 Now, the Bible said, “He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever,” and we want to know how He could be, how we’d recognize Him. If He’s here just as He was any other time, then we’d like to know how He is recognized among us.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «How must He identify Himself today?» (in the form of a question).
And he answers, he himself writes: [WSS] «By fulfilling His promised Word».
[JBP] See? There you have the two little pieces of paper.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] Therefore, you can see that, what was happening back in the Church ages, that [is] in a type and figure pointed to what would happen under the Seventh Seal, what would happen in the Coming of the Lord.
And then everyone gathered where? According to the promise. We find that the promise is that we will all be gathered in the Coming of the Lord; and since that is a promise, we know that the fulfillment of that promise is once the elect are gathered in the Coming of the Lord, and when that is fulfilled, then everyone will be gathered where? In the Second Coming of the Lord: everyone in the message of the Second Coming of the Lord ([JBP] which is the Third Pull), everyone believing in the Message relevant for that time ([JBP] meaning, the Teaching under the Tent); that’s where the fourth Elijah says that all the elect will be gathered: they will be gathered in Christ, they will be gathered in the Second Coming of the Lord.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 141 of the book of Quotations, there he speaks to us about those Reaping Angels; and he tells us that [WMB] it would be a gathering, a harvest; a separation and a gathering. Page 141, paragraph 1260 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]
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. 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. He’s the One that is going to tell which is right and which is wrong.”
[JBP] It’s not what each person is going to say as an individual: “No, it’s because I… I know. I have this here; or I… I know that. What I believe, I….” That “yo-yo,” [Dr. JBP is using a play on words between the toy known as a “yo-yo” and the word “yo” in Spanish, which means “I” or “me” –Ed.] isn’t it.
There is only One who knows which is right and which is wrong; and that is the Angel of the Lord, the Holy Spirit.
1260 - “[19] God said He will send His angels at the last times. Not angels down through here, but angels at the last time, and would gather together ([JBP] meaning that He also comes for a harvest). We know that this is the coming harvest time now. 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 there on top he writes: [WSS] «In the separation He will send His Angels».
[WSS] «Moses and Elijah, the gathering and Harvest».
[JBP] There on the right he drew three Cornerstones, and the part of the ages below; meaning, in that paragraph he spread out three Cornerstones; there we have the three ministries: Jesus, Moses and Elijah.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] There are other places where the fourth Elijah speaks about this; therefore, that is why he says: “I’ll tell you where you’ll be gathered: you’ll be gathered in Christ.”
[JBP] And Christ, Messiah and Anointed One are the same thing; in other words, they will be gathered by the Anointed One.
[WSS] (...) So, what will all of the people of God be waiting for? The Second Coming of Christ to be gathered in the Second Coming of the Lord; for the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a Shout, the Voice of the Archangel and the Trumpet of God.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, in the message “THE RAPTURE,” he tells us those three things are done by one person; although they were shown in Reverend William Branham, also in Dr. William Soto Santiago. Look, he says here:
[65-1204 - “The Rapture,” p. 24, paras. 129-130] [Bible Study #475, 22-3/Dec/2024 (Sunday), pp. 42-43]
[129] For the Lord himself (16th verse) shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and…the trump of God:…
[JBP] I’m reading on page 25 of the book - of the message titled “THE RAPTURE.”
130 Three things happens: A voice…A shout, a voice, a trumpet, has to happen before Jesus appears. Now, a shout…Jesus does all three of them when He’s—He’s—He’s—He’s descending.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Through a prophet, God will do all 3».
And he draws on the left (there as well) a Cornerstone; and he writes: [WSS] «from 6 - 9».
Meaning, in the fourth watch.
And do you remember a writing or message we read?, where he says that [WSS] we were living in the last hour of the third watch*; that is, from 5 to 6 in the morning.
*[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 vigil or fourth Roman vigil, 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.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] And then, all the elect are gathered there to receive the faith for the rapture; and then those who are sleeping will be resurrected, and those who are alive will be transformed, after the Trumpet of the Lord has sounded; and that Trumpet announces what? The Seventh Seal, It opens to the public the Seventh Seal, which is the Second Coming of the Lord.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED,” on page 82 Reverend William Branham tells us:
[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” p. 79, paras. 609-613]
[609] … the devil is howling about this: the manifested Truth of the promise of the Word in Her alone.
610 They don’t have the answer. When Jesus come, why didn’t those Pharisees? He said, “If I cast out devils by the finger of God, who do you cast them out by?” See? He stood alone.
611 And His Church stands alone. She is not hooked with nothing. But He was identified by God, being the body that God dwelt in; and the Church is identified by His Body, doing the same thing. She is His Body…
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The identification of the Church».
And he writes: [WSS] «Elijah and Moses».
[JBP] Remember the Scripture when…, we read these days,* that Moses said: “May God will that all the people were prophets”? Notice how Moses, God took of His Spirit and put it in 70; and you can see there that two of them weren’t there, and they also received, they prophesied!
*[Numbers 11:25-26] [Study “The 3rd Pull is a breaking in in the ministry,” 26/Apr/2025 (Saturday), pp. __-__]
Therefore, at a distance, wherever an elect of God is, that ministry of a prophet will also be in the elect; because those two consciouses together will be in those elect, and that is how they will be able to see those who will resurrect.
And that is not of him that wills nor of him that runs, but of God, who chose them by His election; they are the ones who are written in the Book. No one can say: “I want to be one of them.” Well, if he is written: then yes.
Now, he continues to say on page 82 [P. 79]:
[611] She is His Body, the manifested Truth of His promised Word for the last days. And She, and She alone, stands by It. That’s why the devil is howling, these great organizations, to set up something to close Her up. They’ll never do it. She’ll be taken up, not closed up. She is now risen, and by the power of the vindicated Word promised to Her.
[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «Resurrection by the Word; by Elijah and Moses».
[JBP] I was speaking yesterday to a brother that… we were talking on… yesterday; and I was telling him that when God sends a ministering spirit to Earth, meaning, a prophet, that is something great!, that is the greatest sign.
But, why does He send that messenger? Because His children are there in the time in which He sends him.
Therefore, the greatest thing that God has on this Earth are His children, it’s His Church-Bride; She is the one for which He has come, She is the one for which He has and goes through certain things in that veil of flesh. Not because He wants to; but out of love for His children, out of love for you; otherwise, He wouldn’t have to send a messenger.
But the greatest, greatest, greatest thing on this Earth are the elect of God! It’s you! It’s because of you that He has come at this time, and He has fulfilled what was promised by the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord: Reverend William Branham.
Everything He promised that He was going to do is for you.
Did you hear that? On this Earth, you are the most important thing this planet Earth has.
Once He finds them, what does He say there? He puts them at the top, He takes them up. And no one will persuade them out of there.
Now look:
[611] She is now risen, and by the power of the vindicated Word promised to Her. Amen!
612 How a Bride holds that promise! “He told me He would return after me. I’ll believe it” ([JBP] He has come for you, and has fulfilled that promise). Uh-huh. See? Yes, sir. To meet Her Headship, Her Redeemer, Her Husband, Her King, Her Lord, Her Lover, Her Saviour ([JBP] Oh!, when one identifies him: “Oh, Lord, thank you, for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord, the Lover, the Savior, the Husband!”), in the provided meeting place!
[JBP] Where? It’s in the Most Holy Place, it’s in the Age of the Cornerstone; that’s where you can see the Lord in His last manifestation; just as Peter, James, and John saw him on Mount Transfiguration [Mt. 17:1-8, Mr. 9:2-8, Lk. 9:28-36]. You won’t see Him at the bottom.
If you don’t see Him, then let me tell you that you’re not in the Age of the Cornerstone. To be in the Age of the Cornerstone, you have to go up; and that’s where you will see Him manifested, revealed, being manifested as it promised. But it is so simple.
613 He’s got a place to meet Them. You know, He—He…The Bridegroom don’t leave out nothing. He’s got the ring, the identification. He’s got the robe that She wears, Her clothing. See? And He’s got the provided place to meet Her, that’s in the air. Everything has been all provided. He’s got the Wedding Supper already set; guests already invited, already chosen. All the Angels are standing around, His servants, at attention.
[JBP] And on the left he writes: [WSS] «Resurrection by the Word; by Elijah and Moses».
And he also writes: [WSS] «Rev. 19:11-21».
And he writes: [WSS] «The Supper».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto says, in this message that we’re reading, the “HEAVENLY LIGHT”:
[WSS] That’s why we have to understand and know all these things, know the purpose for which the Seventh Seal is opened. And do you know what brother Branham says? And he says that all that will be in a simple way, he says [The Seals, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 549]:
“[304] Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal…”
[JBP] Let’s go to the page, to… he doesn’t mention it here. Let’s give the reference, the page is: page 472 [p. 549 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], that’s where he tells us… he’s reading from that page:
“[304] Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal. After all, He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts (when It [begins] starts) ([JBP] brother William says), will be absolutely a total secret ([JBP] brother William says) (when It begins I’ll be a secret), according to the Bible, before knowing That. And remember, Revelation 10:1-7, 1 to 7, chapter 10:1 to 7, ‘At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known.’ We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.
305 Now, how did I know? The other day, last Sunday, a week ago today, when I was preaching on ‘Be humble! Be humble! (meaning, “God In Simplicity”) ([JBP] brother William says) Remember, God deals in little things, I didn’t realize what it really was talking about, and now I see it.”
[JBP] Brother William says:
[WSS] See what he had said to them the previous Sunday? That the message “God In Simplicity,” whoever can’t catch the message “God In Simplicity,” won’t be able to catch, won’t be able to understand what would be revealed. So, we have to understand the message “God In Simplicity,” in order to catch, to be able to receive what God has promised to do in this time. He says…
[JBP] And he continues reading:
[WSS] “[305] … I didn’t realize what it really was talking about…”
[JBP] Now, brother William says:
[WSS] There are other places where Brother Branham also says that when the prophets of God spoke (he says) they didn’t realize what they were saying, they didn’t understand what they were saying; but they knew they were speaking the Word of God, because they were inspired to speak those things even if they didn’t understand them.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the message “THIS DAY THIS SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED BEFORE YOUR EYES,” “THIS DAY THIS SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED,” Reverend William Branham says on page 6; look, he says (6 at the bottom, he says):
[65-0219 - “This Day This Scripture Is Fulfilled,” pp. 6-8, paras. 46-58] [Bible Study #457, 20-3/Oct/2024 (Sunday), pp. 55-60]
46 “The acceptable year,” as we all know, as Bible readers, was “the year of jubilee.” That, when all slaves and prisoners, as they were, been taken, prison; and had to give a son, to pay a debt; or a daughter, to pay a debt, [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] and they were in bondage. No matter how long they had been in bondage, or how long they was supposed to stay there; when the year come, of the jubilee, when the trumpet sounded ([JBP] at the top he writes): [WSS] «the Gospel, the Trumpet», every man could go free if he wanted to go free.
[JBP] Here he writes on the left, on page 6 at the bottom: [WSS] «Jubilee and the Great Trumpet of the Gospel».
And here he writes: [WSS] «Another year of jubilee».
[46] [Blank spot on tape.] You’re free. You was no more slave.
47 But if you desired to remain a slave, then you had to be taken down to the temple, stood by the temple post, and they took an awl and bored a hole in your ear, and then you had to serve that slave master the rest of your days.
[JBP] In the book of The Seals there’s a page, there’s a place where he speaks about that.
48 What a perfect example it is of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! When It’s preached, the acceptable time, and the time of Jubilee ([JBP] he writes on the left): [WSS] «Jubilee»; anybody, no matter who you are, what color you are, what denomination you belong to, how it’s far you’ve stooped in sin, or what’s wrong with you; you can go free when you hear ([JBP] no matter what he was like, no matter what condition he was in, he could be free) the Gospel trumpet sound out. You are free!
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Page 173, regarding the spear…, to have another place there. Page 173 [p. 200 in Eng. (Second Seal)] of The Seals:
214 In the Old Testament, when a man had been sold to slavery, there come a year of jubilee, every fifty years, forty-ninth year, and then the year of jubilee, and when a slave heard this, and he wanted to go free, there is—there isn’t nothing that can keep him from going free, he can throw down his hoe, and say, “So long,” go back home; the trumpet sounded. That’s right ([JBP] there on the right he writes): [WSS] «the 50th Year of Jubilee and the Trumpet».
215 But if he don’t want to go, and he is satisfied with his slave master, then he is taken into the—the—the temple, and they take an awl…You know what an awl is. And they press his ear, and put a hole in his ear. And it’s a mark, that he can never go back. Is that right? He has to serve this master for all time. I don’t care how many more times the jubilee sounds, whatever happens. He absolutely has—has sold out his birthrights, of being free.
216 And when a man turns down the Gospel Truth, Satan marks him…
[JBP] Because he marks him with… that’s unbelief; and there’s no way…: he can be shown all the places where it speaks so plainly and he will never see it, because he’s already marked with unbelief.
[216] … (where?) at his ear ([JBP] they can hear, and it’s as if they don’t hear a thing). He deafens him so he can’t hear the Truth no more, and he’s finished. He stays with the group that he’s with, if he won’t hear the Truth. No.
217 “You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” See, the Truth makes free.
[JBP] “And you shall know Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” [John 8:32]
218 God marks His when they come. God marks His by vindicating His promised Word through them.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Vindicate His promised Word», on the right.
[WSS] «Vindicate His promised Word».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he goes on to say here in the message “THIS DAY THIS SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED,” he says [P. 7]:
47 But if you desired to remain a slave, then you had to be taken down to the temple, stood by the temple post, and they took an awl and bored a hole in your ear, and then you had to serve that slave master the rest of your days.
48 What a perfect example it is of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! When It’s preached, the acceptable time, and the time of Jubilee; anybody, no matter who you are, what color you are, what denomination you belong to, how it’s far you’ve stooped in sin, or what’s wrong with you; you can go free when you hear the Gospel trumpet sound out. You are free!
49 But if you turn your back upon the Message and refuse to hear It, notice, you were bored in the ear, with an awl. That means, to say, that you have crossed the line between grace and judgment, and you will never hear the Gospel again. You’ll never get any further. You must be a slave to the system you’re in, the rest of your days, if you refuse to hear the acceptable year.
[JBP] And there on the left he writes: [WSS] «The acceptable Year».
50 Now, the other part of it, as I said, didn’t need to be answered, because this coming Messiah, a time now, is when He will bring judgment.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Messiah will bring judgment: he will preach it, he will speak it».
51 Now, how could those people ever fail to see Who He was? How did they ever miss it? How could it be, when it was so plainly made known and showed? How could they have ever missed seeing? When He…
52 What a Word! Think of it, “This day is this Scripture fulfilled before your eyes.” Who said it? God Himself, Who is the interpreter of His Own Word. “This day is this Scripture fulfilled.” The Messiah, Himself, standing in the presence of the congregation ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Messiah» ([JBP] on the right side) and reading a Word out of the Bible, pertaining to Himself, and then saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled,” and they still failed to see It.
53 What a tragedy that that would be, but it’s happened. It’s happened many times. How could it happen? Of course, like it did in other times, by believing man’s interpretation of the Word. That’s what caused it ([JBP] and he writes there, upwards): [WSS] «because they believed the human interpretation, they were unable to understand». Those believers in them days, so-called believers, was taking the interpretation of what the priest had said about the Scripture. Therefore Jesus, not belonging to any of their ranks or their societies, He was excommunicated from their company.
54 And, therefore, they could not identify Him with them, because He was different from them. The Person of Jesus Christ was so unique that no one should have missed seeing that that was the Son of God, because He was the perfect identification of the Scripture that was wrote of Him.
55 That’s the way any Christian is known, when his life identifies the very things that’s the Christian is supposed to do.
56 How He could stand there and say, “This day this Scripture is fulfilled right before your eyes!” How outstanding, how so plainly, and yet those people misunderstood. Why? Is because they took the interpretation of some order of priests that they were listening to.
57 And history always repeats itself. And Scripture has a compound meaning to It, and a compound revelation.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «History repeats itself».
[WSS] «Compound meaning and revelation».
58 For instance, like it says in the Bible, that, “Out of Egypt I have called My son,” referring to Jesus. Run the margin on that, and you find out, also referred to Jacob, same Scripture. Jesus was His greater Son. Jacob was His son that He called out of Egypt, which the Scofield reference and all other references give to it, because that’s the Scripture it was referring to. So it had a—a double answer; it had a answer to Jacob called out, and to Jesus called out.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Jacob and Jesus».
And above «Jesus» he writes: [WSS] «[Moses]».
[WSS] «Called out from among the gentiles» he writes there as well.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say here, in the book of The Seals (which he is reading that portion) where he paused, he says [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
“[305] … and now I see it. It is in such a humble way! You would think that something like that would be revealed to the Vatican or…But It comes just like John the Baptist. It comes like the birth of our Lord, in a stable. Glory to God! So help me, the hour is at hand! Amen! We’re here. Oh, my!”
[JBP] Brother William says:
[WSS] Now, you can see how the opening of the Seventh Seal comes: It comes just like John the Baptist came, and just like the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ came.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “I ACCUSE THIS GENERATION,” on page 10, Reverend William Branham tells us…, page 10 of “INDICTMENT,” or “THE INDICTMENT,” he says:
[63-0707M - “The Indictment,” p. 8, paras. 47-49]
47 In the first exodus, He was a Pillar of Fire. Then, when He came on earth, in the land to where He led them…What a beautiful type it will be in the Millennium, where He is leading the Church now! “We shall see Him as He is, and we’ll have a body like His Own glorious body” ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «glorified».
48 And today, by the Light of the Gospel reflecting from a Light, a Pillar of Fire visibly among us! Science has seen It. It’s in the magazines, and across the world. And It’s, both scientifically and spiritually, recognized as the same Pillar of Fire, by the same signs and same things It did always. And now in the midst of days when there’s a lot of fanaticism and things, yet, God always identifies Himself ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David; and he writes upwards, on the right): [WSS] «Dios identifies Himself». Now we find this.
49 And what a glorious thing it is to know that, “This earthly tabernacle, someday,” this old frail body that we’re sick and afflicted in, “will be changed and made like unto His Own glorious body; then we shall see Him as He is,” and be with Him in the Land that we’re bound for today. Oh, I’d…almost make us feel like standing and singing I Am Bound For The Promised Land.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left there.
And he writes towards the top: [WSS] «The 3rd exodus».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say here [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] How does the opening of the Seventh Seal come? In human flesh, revealed in human flesh to the people, to the public and then, thus is the promise that is made.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations, on page 120, he tells us… paragraph one hundred si-... uh, 1069, he says:
[64-0121 - “God’s Word Calls For A Total Separation From Unbelief,” pp. 11-12, paras. 73-74, 76] [Bible Study #311, 28/May/2023 (Sunday), pp. 35-36 / Bible Study #339, 3-2/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 46-47]
1069 - “73 Now, notice, Jesus said that would come again. ‘As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.’ Again the Spirit of God will come upon mortal, human flesh. That Man eat the meat of a calf, drinking the milk from the cow, and eat butter and bread, in human flesh; and Abraham said He was Elohim, God manifested in flesh. Jesus promised that God, before His coming, would be manifested in human flesh again. That’s the Holy Spirit (there is only one God) manifesting Hisself, separating, again, Lot from Abraham.”
[JBP] See the separation?
1069 - “74 Lot wanted the world. God tore up his world, and separated Abraham and Lot. Lot, being a type of a carnal believer who didn’t think these things were true, he just went on down in Sodom. (...)
76 Lot was just a penny, Abraham was a silver dollar, so it taken a hundred Lots to make an Abraham.”
[JBP] And he writes above: [WSS] «The Coming of the Son of Man = the Spirit of God would come in human flesh».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And in paragraph 9-A, paragraph 86, it tells us [Quotations]:
[60-1125 - “Conference,” p. 29, para. 208-209] [Study “The Judgment Seat = The Son,” 6-1/Jan/2024 (Saturday), pp. 88-89]
86 - “[208] What was it? It was God in flesh; and Jesus was God in flesh; and the Holy Ghost tonight is God in flesh, showing to the Church, bringing to pass His promise. Glory!
209 Oh, Church of God, rise on the wings ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» ([JBP] above “rise on the wings”) of an eagle, and fly away from this thing.”
[JBP] And he writes right next to that there: [WSS] «To fulfill the promise».
And below that paragraph, across the bottom: [WSS] «The Holy Spirit in flesh».
And on the left, upwards, he writes: [WSS] «Eagle’s Wings».
And above the paragraph he writes: [WSS] «Eagle’s Wings».
(and below)
[WSS] «The Holy Spirit = God in flesh today».
[JBP] Page 134 [p. 154 in Eng. (First Seal)] of the book of The Seals: [WMB] “But when this Holy Spirit that we have, the one that’s in our midst right now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him as King of kings and Lord of lords,” in other words, we’ll recognize him.
Who is the one that recognizes him? The Church-Bride. It can’t be anyone else; if you’re not of the Church-Bride you can’t recognize him.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say: “Therefore…,” Dr. William Soto [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] Therefore, the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the opening of that mystery of the Seventh Seal, comes how? It comes the way he says there: just like John the Baptist came, and just like the Lord Jesus Christ came; that is how the Seventh Seal comes. In plain words: God comes manifested in human flesh fulfilling the Seventh Seal, fulfilling the Second Coming. There is no other way, nor is there any way to avoid it being that way.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 116 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 1026, it tells us:
[63-1124M - “What Shall I Do With Jesus Called Christ?” p. 38, para. 182] [Bible Study #309, 21/May/2023 (Sunday), p. 24]
1026 - “[182] This Book is already opened, that’s right, just waiting for the Seventh Seal to be identified of the Coming of Christ.”
[JBP] And above he writes: [WSS] «7th Seal = the Coming of the Lord: Elijah and Moses».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And in an excerpt… this excerpt was put in a Bible study, and next to it he writes: [WSS] «The 7th Seal will be identified by the Coming of Christ».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this message “SHALOM,” the one that was preached on January 12 of ‘64, he tells us on page 26 (at the bottom):
[64-0112 - “Shalom,” pp. 21-22, paras. 120-126] [Study “In The Presence Of God a man is changed seeing the Face of God” 16-1/Nov/2024 (Saturday), pp. 11-12, 14-15]
120 That same Light has come. To what? To manifest, to—to make known to the people the promises that He’s made for this day, manifested Light of the day. The darkness is darkened.
[JBP] There he draws a Star of David on the right.
And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The Light and the darkness».
121 When He come, He was the Light of the day. There was supposed to come a Messiah. And He came just exactly like God said He did, would come. And when He did, what was He? The Light of the day. And It pressed the darkness so against Him!
[JBP] Here at the bottom he writes:
[WSS] «4th Elijah = The evening Light of the 8th Day.
5th Elijah and 2nd Moses = The morning Light of the 8th Day».
[JBP] Because remember that days begin in the evening.
[121] Is that right? He had to give His Life that the Light continue, could shine. He was the Light of the day. But why, why was He the Light of the day? He was the vindicated Word that had been spoken, made manifest.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Flesh».
And above he writes: [WSS] «The Light = the Word manifested».
[121] No more than…
122 God said over this dark, gloomy, dismal, mossy world that stood here without light, He said, “Let there be light.” ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «“Let there be light”» ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David. Remember that message? “THERE IS A MAN” - “THERE IS A MAN HERE THAT CAN TURN ON THE LIGHT”*) And it wasn’t light until that Word was manifested, then it was light.
*[63-1229M - “There Is A Man Here That Can Turn On The Light”]
123 He said, “There will come a Saviour, a Messiah.” It still wasn’t manifested until He come to manifest that promise. And when He vindicated that promise, He said, “Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life; and They are They that testify of Me.”
124 They said, “We know not whence Thou comest, we are Moses’ disciples.”
[JBP] The same thing they say: “We are disciples of Brother Branham’s Message (or) we are disciples of Brother William’s Message. We don’t know where you came from.”
125 He said, “If you were Moses’ disciples you would know Me, for Moses wrote of Me.” See? He was the manifestation. He was the a-vindication of the spoken Word of God by Moses.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David there.
And he writes: [WSS] «The vindication = the fulfillment, is the Light of the Day».
126 And today that we’re now living in, God has come on the scene to a-vindicate and prove His promises. So, it’s the Light of the hour, so we can rise and shine. The Light shines upon us again today, the Word is being made manifest. It’s the Light.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say in this message [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] Anyone who tries to prevent the way that God has established, well, he is harming himself…
[JBP] The person is harming himself, if he tries to prevent the fulfillment of what was promised: that in a Great Tent Cathedral the ministry of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah would be present.
[WSS] … he is harming himself; because in His Second Coming He comes with a specific purpose: He comes to claim His predestined Bride; He comes to claim His elect, He comes to claim all those who are in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and He comes for the blessing of all His people; He comes so that He can give them the faith for the rapture, He comes so that He can transform them, He comes so that He can translate them from here.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE END-TIME EVANGELISM,” on page 13, Reverend William Branham tells us:
[62-0603 - “The End-Time Evangelism,” p. 10, para. 50] [Bible Study #399, 31-2/Mar/2024 (Sunday), pp. 25-27]
50 Same thing today, when you see His work. Now, we have already seen and are witnessing the appearing of the Lord.
[JBP] He draws the Star of David.
And upwards, on the right, he writes: [WSS] «The appearing of Jesus = with Elijah».
[50] Now remember, appearing and coming is two different words, to appear…
[JBP] And he writes above: [WSS] «with Elijah».
[JBP] That was the appearing of the manifestation of Elijah in his fourth manifestation: Reverend William Branham.
[50] … to appear ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «with Elijah» and then to come ([JBP] and above he writes): [WSS] «with Moses and Elijah». Now is the appearing ([JBP] meaning, at the time when he was there, forerunning the Coming of the Lord, forerunning the Lord’s Coming), He’s already appeared in these last days. Right here with us in the last few years. Now, it’s a sign of His Coming. He’s appearing in His Church, in the form of the Holy Spirit, showing that it’s Him, ’cause people cannot do these things that you see the Holy Spirit doing, so that’s the appearing of the Lord. Now remember, it spoke both places, “appearing” and “coming.”
[JBP] And there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and the arrow towards the ages and towards the gap part.
And here on the right, he writes in three lines:
[WSS] «The Coming of Jesus = Claim / Lion = Moses and Elijah».
[WSS] «The Coming of Jesus = Claim».
Because He comes in His Claiming Work in His Second Coming.
[WSS] «The Coming of Jesus = Claim / Lion (because He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah) = Moses and Elijah».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] Notice that the entire simple way that God uses, He uses it because He has always used the simple way that He has predestined to use; because the great things of God, when He fulfills them, are always in a simple way, in a humble way; what makes people stumble is always God’s simplicity, the simple way in which God veils Himself in human flesh in order to fulfill what He has promised.
But no matter how simple God makes things, God still identifies the fulfillment of what He promised; and when He identifies it, then what happens? It doesn’t matter who says they can’t believe, that is worthless; the person who can’t believe is harming himself. And God always identifies Himself, how? By fulfilling what He promised…
[JBP] The fulfillment of what He promised is what? It is the manifestation of what was fulfilled, what was prophesied.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations, look, on page 126, it also tells us there, paragraph 1126:
[64-0629 - “The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us,” p. 18, paras. 130-131]
1126 - “[130] In them days, it was God in a Man, His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe that. Not just a prophet, not just an ordinary man, ordinary human. It was God in Christ; God in a Man; the fullness of the Godhead, bodily in a Man. God in a Man!
131 Now it’s God in men. The fullness of God in the Godhead, bodily in His entire Church, manifesting Himself, fulfilling His Word.”
[JBP] And on the right, upwards, he writes: [WSS] «God in His Church».
And above that paragraph he writes: [WSS] «The fullness of God in His Church fulfilling His Word».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And he continues to say there [“HEAVENLY LIGHT”]:
[WSS] … and God always identifies Himself on this Earth in each time, in each age and in each dispensation; He identifies Himself, and is identified here on Earth.
[JBP] We have seen, in these excerpts that we’ve read, what God would be carrying out at this end time. And we can say that we have both things, we have the two pieces of paper: we have the Scripture, we have the prophecies, we have the Message; and we have the fulfillment. We have both things.
Thank God that He has opened our understanding, opened the Scriptures to us; and that we’ve been able to identify where the Pillar of Fire whirled away to.
Where is the Pillar of Fire today? In a Great Tent Cathedral, in the fulfillment of the Third Pull.
Let’s stand, and that way we can prepare ourselves to receive this Message, which is a greeting that he gave them, but what a greeting! He spoke very clearly there. But notice, a person can have all those messages, but if that veil is not pulled back for them: there’s no way they can see it; they have to be written there, in that Book. Which, look, at a distance, those who were not in the tabernacle there, were also prophesying.
In other words, there was no way for them not to do what God had spoken to Moses: “Choose 70 for Me; I will put of your spirit in them.”
God, take of my Spirit, and put It in Your people! And may they soon be prophets! So that, Lord, this way they can see and they can look into that dimension, and be prepared, so that when the resurrection takes place, they can see them. That is my desire to the heavenly Father!
Take of my Spirit, Lord, and put It in Your people! So that they can see Your wonders, and so that they can understand more and more Your Program in this Third Pull; and thus be prepared to receive their transformation.
But first, Lord, shake Your people! Shake this world, Lord…! [WMB] “Fill these vessels,”* as the forerunner said, and shake this world, Lord! And show this world Your power in Your children!
*[61-1119 - “Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness,” pp. 47-48, paras. 365, 373] [Bible Study #213, 19/June/2022 (Sunday), pp. 36, 39-40]
That is my request to the heavenly Father, for it to be that way with each of you; not only those here in this place. That also happened to those who weren’t beside Moses there, from a distance!
See how important it is to tune in with the Tent? That’s the importance of tuning into the right place.
It’s like when you have an extension cord and you want to power a drill or an electrical device, you have to plug it into a place where there’s power to make it work. You can't plug it into an outlet that doesn’t have the wires to supply the current. You have to make sure the outlet has current.
That current is the Holy Spirit running through our veins! And at this end time It would produce that eternal and glorified body.
He says: [WMB] “The grey hair will go out, the wrinkles will fall away.”* —“But, what’s happening to me?” That’s the creative Word, working in each elect.
*[60-1211M - “The Ten Virgins, And The Hundred And Forty-Four Thousand Jews,” p. 26, para. 136]
We can sing a song. I don’t know if… Nissinha can repeat the song, because having her here, that’s a miracle; so we have to take advantage of her voice, and have her join us with the song she was singing. She comes from Brazil, it’s a long trip. So, we can sing that song, which she sang for us earlier in the devotional; and that way we prepare ourselves to receive the message that we have for today.
I don’t know if it’s written, so that the brethren can also follow along with that beautiful song; and that way we prepare ourselves to hear this message that we’ve chosen for today.
God’s Anointed One is speaking directly to our heart today.
GOD’S ANOINTED ONE IS SPEAKING
DIRECTLY TO OUR HEART TODAY
God’s Anointed One is speaking directly to our heart
giving us the perfect faith for the rapture and transformation.
The Angel who was different from the rest, Moses and Elijah,
is Revelation 19 which is in operation.
You need to receive Him
in order to hear and understand.
Today, he who can believe is sent into eternity.
CHORUS
That is why He is proclaiming this Message today
for all mankind: that time is no more.
// The Mighty Angel with the Seal of the living God is sealing
His beloved Bride today, whom He will soon transform. //
Wherever God’s children are, He will find them.
The ministry of the Archangel Gabriel was gathering them,
and He announced to the spiritual Mary the Coming of the King,
which is fulfilled in one of our brethren,
bringing redemption.
A Voice comes out of the Throne of God,
in The Great Tent Cathedral.
It is the Teaching, the Manna,
that He brings at this end time.
End:
God’s Anointed One is speaking directly to our heart
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] The Pillar of Fire, which led the Hebrew people and brought them out of Egypt and into into the promised land, is the same Pillar of Fire that appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus [Acts 9:1-6, 22:6-8]; It is the same Pillar of Fire that led the people throughout the ages through each angel messenger; and It is the same One, there is no other, It is the same Pillar of Fire that Reverend William Branham saw in the Tent Vision.
And one may say: “To see the Pillar of Fire lighting the way of the children of Israel back then, that must have been - it must have been something glorious!” They were in contact with the Pillar of Fire that way, they could see It; and during the day, It was a cloud that covered them [Exodus 13:21-22]: “Wow! That’s something great.”
But seeing it today is greater. If that was great, it is greater today; because today is the time when He would be removing the kingdom of the gentiles and would be establishing His Kingdom. And that happens here first: in the heart, in the soul, of the individual, and of the Church as a Mystical Body of believers, as a spiritual Temple.
His Kingdom is His Church; and He has to establish it here first; that’s what He’s doing today.
And we can say… Look, brother Branham, there on page 373 [p. 428 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals, he says:
387 This same Pillar of Fire coming upon Paul, on the road to Damascus, he wrote many Books of the Bible, called the Word of God.
388 And now, Lord ([JBP] he is already praying in “THE SIXTH SEAL”), that same Pillar of Fire, by the evidence of the proof of the Word, and by scientific research, we see It here revealing the Word of the Lord.
[JBP] And on the right he writes: [WSS] «Pillar of Fire, the Logos».
389 God, let the people be quickly awakened, Lord, quickly! Those who have their names put on the Book of Life; when This flashes across their path ([JBP] in a world of blackness, of darkness, there is a man here that can turn on the Light!), may they see. Like the little, ill-famed woman…
[JBP] And how did she see It? She saw It in Jesus!
Therefore, it doesn’t matter what condition you are in, you can see the Light today!
[389] … may they see. Like the little, ill-famed woman at the well that day, she recognized quickly, and she knew It was the Scripture ([JBP] Hah!).
And he writes there: [WSS] «The fulfillment».
And in a note, in a writing, here in the book of The Seals, he writes:
[WSS] «When that Light shines on their path, when they see It, they know that It is the fulfillment of the Scriptures».
[JBP] Let us see, Lord, the fulfillment of the Scriptures. Let me see that Light, the way this woman saw it here, whom brother Branham is referring to.
Today we are seeing that Light. Today we have recognized that Light, today we have identified It.
Let’s sing that song again: “God’s Anointed One is speaking directly to our heart,” establishing His Kingdom.
[SONG]
[JBP] Pray a lot for Israel. There’s already talk of a cease-fire, they want to sign a 5-year cease-fire; and for those who are held captive, the hostages, to be released, in exchange for some prisoners that Israel has there, all at once; in other words, not in stages, but all at once. And we desire for them to be released soon.
I was also hearing, from the authorities, what a hard time those people have over there; and they say that those doing those things can’t be human beings; they are not animals. But they will have their reward.
I desire that they be released soon, and that that agreement be made soon. And may God work in Israel according to what is promised; and may they be able to identify the fulfillment of the prophecies, just as the Church-Bride at this time has identified him.
That’s why, the time will come when they will say: “This man is ours.” They won’t want to let him go; because they will identify what lineage he is from and where he comes from, and there will be proof of that.
Soon you’ll see how all of that will be fulfilled in the spiritual, and in the physical as well. He said [WSS] “that line comes directly from King David,” from that line of Judah which goes —therefore— all the way up to Adam.
Well, let’s leave with us now, without further ado, our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
