TITLE: THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS FOR THE FINAL AWAKENING, TRANSFORMATION AND RAPTURE Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, August 9, 1997 (Second activity) Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
**Scripture: Revelation 10:1-11** **ACCLAMATION ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _1973 _ _Sabana Seca, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico_ So, when humanity reads: “Oh, ‘seven thunders’! That is something tremendous! When that happens, that is going to be heard all around the Earth, that loud sound.” And look, the Seven Thunders…, “thunder” is the Voice of God; notice how simple it is: “seven thunders”: the revelation of the seven Seals, what the seven Seals contain. Well, and it’s actually being heard around the world, but people don’t know that those are the Seven Thunders; because “thunder” is the Word of God, the Voice of God. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the book of The Seals, on page 112 [p. 133-134 in Eng.], it tells us: “131 Now, a trumpet always denotes war or, otherwise, political disturbance, the trumpet does, a political disturbance, and that causes war. When you go to get messing in politics, and get them all messed up, like we got it now, look out, war is at hand. But, see, the kingdom still belongs to Satan. He’s still got this part in his hand.132 Because why? It is redeemed by Christ, but He’s doing the part of the Kinsman Redeemer, taking His subjects, until the last one (name) is put on that Book, has already received It and been sealed away. Now have you got it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.]133 Then He comes from His Throne, His Father’s Throne, walks forward, takes the Book out of God’s hand, from the Throne, and claims His right. The first thing He does is call for His Bride. Amen! Then what does He take? He takes His opponent, Satan, and binds him, and casts him into the fire out there, with all that followed him.134 Now, remember, it wasn’t Russia. No. The antichrist is a smooth fellow. Just watch how smooth he is. He is smart, now. Yes, sir. Just takes the Holy Spirit; only thing can out-do him.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And here in the book of The Ages, page 263 [pgs. 237-238 in Eng.], it says: “Let me give you a little something on the iron and clay. Remember when Khrushchev beat his shoe on the desk at the U.N.? Well, there were five eastern nations there and five western. Khrushchev spoke for the East, and President Eisenhower for the West. In Russian, Khrushchev is clay and Eisenhower means iron. The two main leaders of the world, the two big toes of the feet of iron and clay, were side by side. We are in the end of it all.In verse 4, it asks, “Who is able to make war with the beast?” Now there are at present some great names in the world. There are some mighty nations, but right now Rome is calling the tune. The pope is in the driver’s seat. And his power is going to increase. No one can war against him.”And brother William there writes there [WSS] «The two big toes of the statue’s feet. big toes of the statue. The president of USA (that is, United States) and URSS», which was when at that time the whole area was in that union, that is that whole area was in that union, that is, Russia).” And it goes on here saying [The Seals]: “135 Notice, Trumpets means political disturbance, wars. Matthew 24, Jesus spoke of it. He said, “You’ll hear of wars and rumors of wars, see, all the way down through.” You remember the…Jesus speaking that, “Wars, rumors and wars, and rumors and wars, and plumb on down to the end.” Now, that’s the Trumpets sounding.136 Now, when we get on the Trumpets, we’ll go back there and pick up each one of them wars, and show you that they followed them churches, show you they follow these Seals. “Wars and rumors of war.” But, Trumpet, denotes political disturbance.137 Whereas, Seals deals with the religious disturbance. See? A Seal is opened, a Message is dropped. And then the church is always so set up in its own political ways, and whatever more, and all of its dignitary. And when that real Message drops down, that messenger goes forth and he shakes them to pieces. That’s right. It’s religious disturbance when a Seal is opened. That’s what’s happened. Yeah. Yes.138 They get all at ease in Zion. The church gets all settled down, and, “We got it all made.” Just like the church of England, they was all settled down. The Catholic church, all settled down, and along come Luther. There was a religious disturbance. Yes, sir! Sure was! Well, the church went on off, with Zwingli. And from Zwingli, come on down to different ones, and to Calvin. And after a while, the Anglican church settled down, and it was just at ease, and along come Wesley. There was a religious disturbance. That’s right. See, it always denotes a religious disturbance.”And he writes there: [WSS] «Trumpets = wars. The opening of a seal brings = brings a religious disturbance What of the Seventh Seal when it opens?».And it continues as follows here: “‘And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, (what happened?) and I heard, as it was the noise of a thunder,…’140 Oh, how I’d like to dwell on that just a few minutes! And I hope now that all the peoples that know these things and are waiting for the consolation of the Lord (and he writes there: [WSS] «The Second Coming of the Lord»), will now study real close; and on the tapes, also, that you’ll think of this.141 The first thing happened, when that Lamb broke that First Seal, a Thunder roared. Now, that’s got a significant. It’s got… It’s significant. It’s got a meaning. It’s a meaning. Nothing happens without a meaning. All right, a Thunder, a Thunder roared. Wonder what that Thunder was?142 Now let’s read a little bit. Let’s turn to Matthew… No, let’s take Saint John, first. Saint John, 12th chapter, and just hold it a minute. Saint John, the 12th chapter. And now let’s begin with the 23rd verse of Saint John 12. Now listen here, now, real close, then you won’t have to wonder no more what it is. ‘And Jesus answering them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.’143 See, you’re at the end of an age, there. His ministry is ending. See? ‘The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.’144 What about, ‘The hour has come that when His Bride must be taken away’? What? The hour has come, that, ‘Time shall be no more.’ The Angel is ready to set one foot on the land, and the other one on the sea, with a rainbow over Him, with feet, and say, ‘Time has run out.’ And besides that...”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] That reminds me of when he… I repeat it every time I remember it, that he tells me… I tell him: “Hey, brother William, how come it says here that the devil has descended with great wrath because he has little time left?” And he would say to me: [WSS] “Benjie, he is out of time.” “...He raised up His hand and swore that “time would be no more,” when this happened. How—how perfect it is, a sworn affidavit to the Church!”And here it goes on to say:…because “thunder” is the Word of God, the Voice of God. And: _“My sheep hear my voice.”_ What will the sheep of this time hear? The Voice of the Lord. And what is the Voice of the Lord at this time? The revelation of the mystery of the Seven Thunders. They are not going to hear anything else. It is for them. And since it is for them, what else can the children of God want? If this is the greatest thing that God has given to His people! Look, Daniel wanted to know many things, and the Lord told him: “No, shut the words of the book of this prophecy until the time of the end.”1 Oh, Daniel wanted to know what we know today, but the Lord told him that it was until the time of the end. And thank the Lord that we are in the time of the end! **THE SON OF THE WORD ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _December 31, 1990 to January 1, 1991 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Do you know what the seventh messenger said when he was in North America? He said that in his time there were not even twelve ready for the rapture, to be transformed and raptured. It is that the time of the transformation and the rapture didn’t fall in the seventh age, nor did it fall in the stage of the introduction of the Second Coming of the Lord; but it fell in the third dispensation, and not in the second dispensation; and it fell not in North America, but in Latin America. To say that they didn’t even have twelve ready for the rapture is a very sad situation for North America; and that even with their messenger there. And in Latin America the thing is different. There were not twelve ready there for the rapture, to be transformed and raptured; because the faith of the rapture, where was it? In the Thunders. And the great secret of the Seventh Seal is in the Thunders, the great secret of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, of the Son of Man as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords; with His name as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords: with His New Name; with which all the elect are sealed in this end time, and where the Lord sends that New Name in that little white Stone. That little Stone is the Second Coming of the Lord. There comes the New Name; and no one understands it but he who receives it. **YOUNG PEOPLE SUPPORTED BY THE POWER FROM ON HIGH ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Wednesday, August 6, 2003 _ _Austin, Texas, United States_ Now, when Reverend William Branham had the visitation of the angels, which way did the thunders go, the thunder? The thunder that he heard went toward the south. And if it went south, it went where? To Latin America and the Caribbean. And that is the Voice of God. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a little part here, from the message “IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?”2 page 30, it says: “204 First, a blast. And I thought it sounded like a sound barrier, ever what you call it when planes cross the sound, and the sound comes back to the earth. Just shook, like, roared, everything. Then, it could have been a—a—a great clap of thunder, and lightning, like; I didn’t see the lightning. I just heard that great blast that went forth, that sounded like it was south, from me, towards Mexico.205 But, it shook the earth. And when it did, I was still looking westward. And way off into Eternity, I saw a constellation of something coming. It looked like that it might have been little dots. There could have been no less than five, and not more than seven. But, They were in the shape of a pyramid, like these messengers coming.”And already, on Sunday, there is a topic that has to do with that mysterious cloud. He goes on to say:Now, see how everything is well ordered. After the West, when He finishes His journey in the part of Latin America and the Caribbean, then it corresponds to Him to go towards the East; but first He has to carry out the Work relevant to the West, in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the creation, construction, of His spiritual Temple. And the Work relevant to our time is the Work of the construction of the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, with living stones, human beings who are called and gathered in the Mystical Body of Christ, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone. That is the most glorious of all stages. That stage is under the mystery of the Seventh Seal. **THE GLORIFIED FIRSTBORN SON OF GOD ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Friday, January 20, 1995 _ _Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico_ So we can see that the seven stages or ages of the Church were first passed through in the life of Jesus; and then, at almost 30 years of age, the Age of the Cornerstone was passed through in His life and in His ministry. And at that time: Seven Thunders uttered their voices in His life and ministry; and He presented the First Coming of the Messiah fulfilled in His person.3We find that for the adoption of every firstborn child of God it is required that he be in the Age of the Cornerstone; for that is the age for adoption; that is the age where Seven Thunders utter their voices consecutively in the life and ministry of the person. So it is also for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end of time. **THE FINAL AWAKENING OF GOD’S PEOPLE ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _September 4, 1992 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Jesus Christ, the Pillar of Fire, was in and with His angel messenger bringing the revival of North America, the revival for the seventh age of the gentile Church and for the stage or gap where the Second Coming of Christ was forerun. And then, Jesus Christ in Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, has passed to Latin America and the Caribbean to bring the revival or final awakening. And for that: The Voice of Jesus Christ crying out like a lion and seven thunders uttering their voices; which is: The Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom gives us, brings us, the revival or final awakening of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And also in the message that we were reading, in the message here “IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?”4 on page 51 it says, at the bottom, it says [page 44]: “360 Notice, Revelation, 3 and 4, ‘Seven Thunders.’ Seven Thunders, and then notice, 3 and 4, and then (what?) an oath from that mighty Angel, that, ‘Time was finished.’ When these Thunders, you see, brought forth their voices, then the Angel…361 Just think of it! “An Angel, clothed in a cloud, and a rainbow covenant over His head…”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] That is why I emphasize that part, that although many might say: “Oh, that was said there to him; that was not from the pulpit, that was not…” Many times the great things God fulfills them or carries them out in a simple way, and many times in the… in front of us He fulfills things that one did not imagine that it would be like that. Because, for example, when he told me: “The time…” –“He does not have much time left,” I tell him. And he says to me: [WSS] «He has no more time left». And that, well, it sounds so simple; and maybe some people cannot give it importance; but an Angel, a prophet (and even more a prophet like him, dispensational, a man fulfilling there His Second Coming, His Second Coming in him), to already speak that, well, it is already a Word that has an effect in this dimension. And there is another little part here, but… It says, look here where it says, this little part also: “361 Just think of it! ‘An Angel, clothed in a cloud, and a rainbow covenant over His head…’Why, you know Who that is. ‘Put one foot on the land, and on the sea, and lift up His hand and swore, that, ‘When them Seven Thunders uttered their voices,’ that, ‘time would be no more.’362 And if the ministry of the mysteries of God is finished, what if that is them seven mysteries coming forth? And a humble, little church like ours, that the Almighty has come and regarded the low estate of His people! You say, “What? I don’t think so.” It might not be. But what if it is? Then time has run out. Did you think it? Be serious. It may be later than we think.363 These stars falling into their constellation back yonder! That Angel coming, and said, ‘As John was sent to wind up the Old Testament and to bring forth the introduction of Christ, a Message will wind up the loose ends and will introduce the Messiah just before His Coming, the Message of the last days.’364 Notice, the mighty Angel swore, with an oath, that, ‘Time would be no more.’365 Now, I don’t want to keep you too long. Just think of this, a minute now.366 Now listen. This Angel come down from Heaven. See? The other, seven angels of the seven churches, was earthly messengers. But this Angel… All the Message is finished; the seventh angel winds up the whole thing. And this Angel comes not to the earth; He isn’t a man from the earth, as the messengers to the church ages; that’s finished. But, this Angel brings the next announcement (and he writes there: [WSS] «Message»). And an angel means a ‘messenger.’ And He comes down from Heaven, clothed in that Pillar of Light, Cloud, with a rainbow over His head. And a rainbow is a covenant. It was Christ, ‘With one foot on land, and one on the sea, and swore, that, ‘Time will be no more.’”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a part where he says, and he has preached it in some places, in some messages he says: [WSS] “The right foot (he says) can be Elijah’s or Moses’, and the left foot can be Elijah’s or Moses,” in other words, Elijah and Moses.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And here in this part he writes: [WSS] «Revelation 10:1-6 appears after the mystery is consummated and then the thunders are heard», and he also writes: [WSS] «The next Message = the Message of the Kingdom».And to finish this excerpt here. It goes on to say:See the order of the revival or final awakening of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ: An age: The Age of the Cornerstone. A dispensation: The Dispensation of the Kingdom in its beginning. A message: The Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, represented in the seven thunders of Revelation, chapter 10, which is the Voice of the Mighty Angel, the Voice of Jesus Christ, the Voice of the Pillar of Fire, Jesus Christ in the form of Spirit, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, manifesting Himself and giving us His Word at the end of the world through His Angel Messenger, making known to us the things that must come to pass; and thus producing the final awakening, the final revival of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And we thank our heavenly Father that He has sent His messenger to us with this glorious Message containing that final awakening for our transformation and rapture.* * *
