BIBLE STUDY #189
SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 2022
*Rev. Jose B. Perez***Source Scripture: Matthew 16:1-4** **THE VISION OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE LAST DAY ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Sunday, July 14, 1996 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Now, the revelation of Joseph to his brothers in one of the comings of his brothers to Egypt, when he appeared or when they brought Benjamin, the youngest brother of the children of Israel, and brother on Joseph’s father’s and mother’s side, there was where Joseph couldn’t stand it any longer (and tried, but couldn’t), and at the end he revealed himself to them, embracing his brother Benjamin, weeping over him, and saying: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.” [Rev. Jose B. Perez] The same thing that he said to him on one occasion, that he said to them: [WSS] “Tell them, write to them and tell them that I am”; and they answered: “Everything adds up. Benjamin, tell him that everything adds up to us, but we need the sign from heaven.” —[JBP] “Brother William, they ask for the sign from heaven.” —[WSS] “Tell them it happened, in ‘63, the sign.” And I say to them: [JBP] “The sign…” —“Uh-huh. And the name?...” —[WSS] “Tell them the Name too.” And there they said: “We want to see William.” Remember that they already had a good relationship with him; the last thing was there in Argentina, you had already seen that documentary, and they stayed there as if in expectation. In those days the Scripture of Jacob’s encounter with the Angel was being fulfilled; it was the Scripture they had in those days. —”We want to see him…” And brother William there writes to me: [WSS] “They wrote to me that they…” All of that is written. And he said to me: [WSS] “Tell them to hold on still. Look, tell them to hold on, don’t (I remembered that when I was reading this)..., no, don’t come.” —[JBP] “Look, don’t…” —”No, but I can get 7 or 8 of us together to go there, we want to talk to him.” —[JBP] “Look, William, they want to talk to you.” —[WSS] “No, tell them no, tell them not to come.” Something was happening there.He continues to say here:We find that that is type and figure of what is to happen in the Last Day. That is type and figure of the revelation of Jesus Christ as King, to make Himself known to the Hebrew people, to 144,000 Hebrews, which are represented in Benjamin, Joseph’s brother by father and mother. Now, we can see that what Joseph’s brothers did, who wept and were also very frightened, very fearful, thinking that Joseph’s wrath would be kindled against them; that will be what will be happening in the Last Day, where Jesus Christ will be revealed to the Hebrew people; and 144,000 Hebrews, which are the Benjamins of God, 12,000 of each tribe, will receive Him, and will receive the blessing of Jesus Christ, the blessing of our Joseph; for Jesus Christ, our Joseph, will be revealed in the Last Day, as it is promised in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 7, where it says: _“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.”_ The twelve tribes of the children of Israel will be mourning over Him, as was done on the Day of Atonement every year; and whosoever wouldn’t mourn on that day would be cut off from the people. That will be fulfilled on the Last Day on a larger scale with the revelation of Jesus Christ to the Hebrew people. **BEING BLESSED WITH THE FULFILLMENT OF THE HALF HOUR OF SILENCE IN HEAVEN ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Sunday, October 11, 2009 _ _Santiago de Chile, Chile_ So seeing that our citizenship is of Heaven, then let us lift up our heads to Heaven because our redemption is near; that is, our transformation is near; and the resurrection of the dead in Christ is near also. Our redemption is near, our adoption, which will be our transformation, where we will obtain the eternal and glorified and young body, like the glorified body of Christ our Savior, which is as young as when He ascended to Heaven; and we will see Him; when we have the glorified body then we will see Him. Therefore, for this end time the promise is that we will be blessed with the fulfillment of the half hour of silence in Heaven, we will be blessed with all the mystery that causes silence in Heaven for about half an hour. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a little page where he wrote and it says: [WSS] «The ½ hour of silence was represented in the 2000 years».He goes on to say:That silence in Heaven hasn’t yet occurred, but it is going to occur ([JBP] And it has already started). First the content of the Seventh Seal has to be fulfilled, and then it is opened in Heaven and the history of the Seventh Seal is made known, as it happens with the other Seals; and then the history is made known in Heaven to the angels and to all the believers in Christ who are in Heaven (because they departed from Earth, died, and are in Paradise, in the sixth dimension), and to all the Old Testament saints who resurrected with Christ, who are in Heaven also, the news. With the opening of the Seventh Seal in Heaven, it causes a total silence, because nobody knew, nobody knew that mystery; and then it is opened in Heaven making known what that Seventh Seal was, what the Coming of the Lord was, the Coming of the Son of Man. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a message (since this week, as we were talking, it has been three years) of that ministry of Moses, of one of the ministries that God used in the Son of Man in this time; because the Son of Man comes with His Angels; it is in a threefold way, brother Branham says in the book of The Seals.It says in the message “THE SEVEN FEASTS IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE,” preached on October 15, 78, it says:THE SEVEN FEASTS IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, October 15, 1978 Cayey, Puerto RicoWe find that at that time, on that date, the cycle of Israel’s deliverance had arrived; and since the cycle of Israel’s deliverance had arrived, and it was at that time, then God raised up His man there. When He raised him up, what happened? When He raised him up, it was in the cycle…: If the people received him, that people would go out in deliverance with that man. But what happened? The people rejected him. And when they rejected him, then God took His prophet to the desert; he married there, and lived there for 40 years. What happened? The people of Israel let the cycle pass.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in one of the writings he gave me, he says: [WSS] “Tell them that I went there in ‘77 and they didn’t receive me.” In other words, that is repeated there again.And notice that Moses was 40 years old; Moses was 40 years old; and 40 speaks of judgment. So, there was already something represented in the years of Moses, and Moses was there to go out with the people.The people let that cycle pass, so they had to wait 40 more years, until that cycle came again in Moses’ life, when he was 40 years old. ([JBP] That is, to come back again, 40 more years).That is the cycle that God was carrying out, that was the cycle that was in effect, and the time indicated there was in Moses himself.Then we find that after 40 years he came back, the cycle of God in the life of Moses manifested again, for that ministry to be able to operate.If the people had received him in the first cycle, brother Branham says that God would have prepared Moses in five minutes. So he didn’t have to go anywhere; right there, in their midst, the man would have been prepared.Well, notice that the people went out; but they didn’t go out late because of God, nor because of Moses, but because they rejected; in the time they didn’t have to reject, they rejected.Before him, how many false ones had come? That didn’t matter; but the true one came in God’s appointed cycle. By rejecting him: They rejected God’s Plan, and then God had to take His man away; the cycle passed; and 40 more years of suffering came for Israel.And in the year 430 of captivity in Israel, Moses was already 80 years old.Now, Moses, being 80 years old, returns already at a fairly advanced age. They didn’t want to receive a young man, now they receive an old man.The thing is that when the squeeze gets too tight, then (you know), then the people began to cry out. The people had to recognize him, accept him and do according to the Plan that God had through Moses.Well, Moses came then with 80 years; and then the people did recognize him: the same one that had been 40 years old before with them.So, we find that the people came out of captivity in the year 430. They were already 30 years past the time of the 400 years; because of the people, not because of God.Well, then, by continuing to bother later on through the wilderness: 40 years in the wilderness. Do you see the 40-year cycles there?Now, we find that in those periods of time… Notice, they began to bother in that 40-year cycle, 40 years of Moses’ life; in the second 40-year cycle of Moses’ life, they continued bothering, the people didn’t enter. In other words, I mean, in the third cycle of 40 years of Moses, the people didn’t enter, nor did Moses enter; 40 years had to pass before they could enter, you see? They couldn’t enter; because they bothered a lot and God said: “They shall not enter; of those who went out, none shall enter.”Then…, they had to finish the 40 years and then what? Then God would bring them into the promised land; no longer in the cycle of the 40 years, which corresponded to their departure, but in the cycle of… a new cycle that began. And then God changed the messenger, and Joshua entered with them. And he established them there in the promised land upon the Message that they had, that Moses had brought them.And in 5 years… Notice: what in 40 years they couldn’t do, then in the new cycle the people behaved well, they immediately behaved well, they honored Joshua… God told him: “As I was with Moses I will be with you, and I will honor you before the people so that the people may fear you, and so that the people may know that I am with you.” And that new people, which had been born in the wilderness, then they behaved well and entered in 5 years.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the message “THE EXIT” he speaks to us there as well:THE EXIT Dr. William Soto Santiago Wednesday, June 7, 1989 Bogota D.C., Colombia[Page 17] So notice: Striking the rock the first time, was fulfilled in the second dispensation, in the First Coming of the Son of Man. The second time the rock was smitten, when it had to be speaking to the rock, is fulfilled in the Second Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels in a spiritual form ([JBP] There is a message that brother William speaks, that the prophets in the Old Testament had to be very careful, because there the type and figure of what would be the New Testament was being placed; and there Moses broke the type); although at the end of the ministry of the Two Olive Trees there is a passage that speaks that they, those ministers or ministries that will be in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, after finishing His ministry, there will be a death.Let’s wait for the time to come or for it to be fulfilled or to be revealed how all of that will be in detail, so that we can understand it. In the meantime we leave that alone, since that will be for the time that is ahead; but the time we are currently living is to be receiving a Message promised for our time.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And that time that he was speaking there, which is later on, is this time.Further on, he says:[Page 19] We find that Moses later wanted to enter the promised land, and God said to him: “You can only see it from afar, and this is as far as you go. Put everything on Joshua that you have to put on him. Anoint Joshua as your successor. I will be with Joshua as I was with you. And he shall bring the people into the promised land.”2Now, Joshua was there. What would Joshua have wished for? That Moses wouldn’t die, that Moses would enter ([JBP] [to the promised land]). ([JBP] Remember that Joshua represents the Holy Spirit, the leader of this end time, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ; but remember that the Scriptures have several fulfillments); because Joshua wasn’t interested in Moses’ place.The satisfaction for Joshua and Caleb, the satisfaction for them was to do what God told Moses to do, and Moses notified the people…[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And that is why I was saying to him: [JBP] “How are you going to leave, brother William? And all these stages that are missing…? It can’t be!”, but it was already typified in what Moses did there, that he had to leave. Of course, the work he is doing now, he would have done it the other way too; but having that type, his body had to end on this Earth.The satisfaction for Joshua and Caleb, the satisfaction for them was to do what God told Moses, and Moses notified the people; it was only to do what Moses said, because that was: THUS SAITH THE LORD. They were moving, they were walking, in the THUS SAITH THE LORD that was coming through Moses.But Joshua wasn’t looking for Moses’ position; but God passed that position to Joshua.Joshua entered the Hebrew people into the promised land. Joshua represents the Holy Spirit in His end-time manifestation.[Revelation 22:17] “The Spirit and the Bride say, Come.”There you have the Spirit: Joshua.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] That is why you can see that neither brother Miguel nor this servant, nor any minister desires the position of the messenger. We are instruments of God to bring to the people the Message that has already been spoken, that has been brought through the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We, none of us would have wished the messenger to leave; but God then left some instructions, left a guide. In a ship you can’t have two rudders, one pulling one way and the other pulling the other way.Look at what he writes in one…, he says: [WSS] «Never lose sight of the Guide, for you will find yourself lost. He is the one who knows the way and has the map for the journey».And he left those instructions. That is why we have to speak a little more clearly about where we should focus (let’s say) the cannons, to go towards the promised land by means of this Message that he has left us; because if not, you may be taking a course that is not going to lead you.Let us follow the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Guide that he left.He says:[Page 20] So the Holy Spirit will take us to that new land, the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of the Holy Spirit, in the form of the Spirit, in His final manifestation in His Angel Messenger of the end time, of the third dispensation.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] See? It is the Holy Spirit, it is that Angel, He is with us all the time, and He is the one that is guiding us.Look, he left here… He says:[WSS] «Moses leaving Egypt with the Hebrew people to go to the promised land.Joshua continued the Work(And above he writes): [The Holy Spirit: E.S.](He writes) Genesis. In the 4th generation they will come back here: Lutheran, Wesleyan, Pentecostal; and the fourth, the Word.In the 4th generation came the Word in Moses and Joshua.Jesus going out with His followers to the promised land of the Holy Spirit (the angelic body), and entering the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Kingdom of God in the spiritual realm.In each age there is an exodus to enter with the Holy Spirit in each messenger into each age of the Kingdom of God in His Church.An exodus from the denominational world to the vivified Word in every age.And in the Last Day…Under the Great Voice of Trumpet, and in the Last Day, to enter with the Angel of the Lord into the Dispensation of the Kingdom to be transformed, and enter the Kingdom of God physically with eternal, glorified bodies, like that of the Lord Jesus Christ, to go to the Supper of the Lamb and then to the Millennial Kingdom».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the message “PROVING HIS WORD”2 brother Branham says on page 21: “[109] Israel made her march to the promised land, because they believed it.110 And in the wilderness journey, it came to pass that they disbelieved this prophet, after seeing the Word being so confirmed, the Bride got out of step (he writes above: [WSS] «The Bride out of step») (you know what I’m speaking about, in the vision, see, ‘got out of step’). There was one stayed up, by the name of Joshua, and Caleb, and believed the Word of promise true, regardless of what the circumstances was.111 _Watch when they got to Kadesh-barnea. At Kadesh-barnea_ (below, he writes below: [WSS] «Kadesh-barnea = Judgment Seat»), Moses sent out one out of each tribe, to go spy out the land, see which way they was to enter. And he sent his general, Joshua, which was a prophet, so he sent a minor prophet under Moses. And Joshua listened to Moses. And they sent him out, so he said, ‘Go over and spy that land out.’112 And the general went out and picked him out a man out of each tribe, and they took off. He took Caleb, his side buddy, because he knowed Caleb believed. They went over into the promised land, and came back with a bunch of grapes that taken two men to pack.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And that part there, that fruit of that promised land, I am a witness and God is my witness, that I saw it that night in the hospital, he showed me. God is my witness. “...he said now, ‘So that Israel will have the evidence before they even get into the promise. See, they’ll have the evidence that God said it’s a good land, and it’s filled with milk and honey. It’s a grand land. It’s a good land. Now your… oh, all this old garlic, leek, and whatever you got here in Egypt. Now we’re taking you to a land with milk and honey. You probably never tasted either one, milk or honey, down there in Egypt all these years. They just give you the slaves’ rationing. But now you’re going to this land.’”And he continues reading. And on page 22, he says: “[116] Now Joshua said what? When they said, ‘Oh, we can’t do it. You just can’t do it. We’ll have to get out of our organization. We’re—we’re—we’re finished. See, we couldn’t do it now. We just can’t do this, because it’s not reasonable.’ ([JBP] See? The human mind). And when Joshua led them up there, it was in the month of April (he writes there: [WSS] «April»), when the waters was high, and Jordan was pretty near as wide as the Ohio River. Looked like God made an awful mistake.117 You know, sometimes you get sick, and you say, ‘Well, I’m a Christian. God, He—He made a mistake, He let me get sick, and I’m a Christian.’ Don’t you realize that the Bible said that everything would work together for good to them that loves God?118 Where Joshua led them there, now, Jordan gets real low. You can wade across it ’most anywhere around, unless you hit a hole of water where it’s pretty deep; you can, and with all the little fords and things right there at the—at the banks where Jericho was at. Why, it’s, why you can wade across it, isn’t much over an ankle deep, just drive across it in a jeep, drive, ride across it, walk across it, or anything. But he led them there at the time of April, when the flooded country was flooded there for almost a mile. The water was probably thirty or forty feet deep in there. And he said, “The third day, we’re going over. God said so! Call the people together and sanctify them, for, the third day, you’re passing over Jordan.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there he continues reading, so that… Then you have it there, that entire page will be in the study.And it continues here, also in this message “WHAT SHALL I DO WITH JESUS CALLED CHRIST?,”3 page 37, it says: “[142] Same thing. They reject the vindicated Word and take a dogma, instead. That forms death, spiritual death.Dead! The Word is still preached to the dead. ([JBP] There is one… in “SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON NOW,” but we would have to go there, to read there). Exactly! Won’t be through the Millennium, now, see. They’re—they’re, already preached to. May be getting It right now. See? ([JBP] In The Seals he says that they had been in meetings like this one).143 Cain’s sons, which was the product of unbelief of the Word of God, Cain’s sons scoffed at prophet Noah’s message. You notice that? With God’s Word he had brought the—the predicted judgment, and had vivid signs, vindicated signs that the time was at the end, and Cain’s sons scoffed at It.So as they do now. So, that, they did in the day of Jesus. So they did all through the ages. It’s always been. They scoff and make fun of It. He said, ‘In the last days there will come scoffers, saying, ‘There is no difference in the time, since our fathers fell asleep.’ You, see?144 So did the sons of the devil, through the religious system, at the Word made manifest in the time of Jesus Christ.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Let’s continue here, reading in this message, where we left off:We all need the blessings that are promised to be given in the fulfillment of what He has promised for this end time. I need those blessings. And who else? Each of you also, and you who are in other nations. We have reached the most glorious time of the Divine Program, we have reached the Golden Age of the Kingdom of God, we have reached the Golden Age of Christianity; we have reached the time when from one moment to another the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be completed, and Christ will change from High Priest to King, from Lamb to Lion, and a new stage in the Divine Program will begin, for the reclamation of all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the book of “THE AGES,” unedited,4 page 304, speaking of that half hour of silence and what happens, or one of the things that happens there, he says: “95 And Jesus comes from Heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His Saints, and the Bible says that ‘the Heavens was empty for the space of a half hour.’ Where is this big Fellow, God, then? Uh-huh. See? He’s in Christ. Sure! And as we overcome by the Holy Spirit like He had, we will set with Him as He takes the earthly throne of David, to set and rule with Him just like He did up There, (Amen!) with power and authority over all the earth. ‘And they’re...the earth is groaning, waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God to be manifested, God’s son.’”He continues saying:He will reclaim all those whom He with His Blood has cleansed from all sin and restore them to life, but not to temporary physical life, but to eternal life; and He will reclaim the Kingdom of David, which is the Kingdom of God on Earth; for He is the heir to the Throne of David and Kingdom of David, because He is the Son of David; and also, since He is the Son of Man, He is the heir to the Kingdom of the entire planet Earth; and He is also, as Son of God, the heir to the Heavens and to the Earth. Each of these titles of son: Son of Man, Son of David, Son of God, and so on, has an inheritance. So, aware of these things and that this Seventh Seal contains the mystery of the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day —a mystery which the angels didn’t know and which will be opened in this end time and which will bring great blessings to all the children of God— then we lift up our heads to Heaven because our redemption is near. **THE CULMINATION OF THE SEVENTH SEAL ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Saturday, May 9, 1998 _ _(Fifth activity) _ _Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico_ Let us read Matthew, chapter 24, so that we have a clear picture of what was happening there on February 28, 1963. By that time, I was at one of the mountains of Puerto Rico, of the city of Lares, in a spiritual retreat. It says… By that time I was about 22 years old, a young man, but the call of God and the responsibility of God for the ministry, God had already placed it upon my shoulders and I had to respond to that call; and I had seen that Moses, Elijah and Jesus separated themselves, in a retreat, for many days, and thus, that is how the Spirit of God took me to a spiritual retreat. Now, the Scripture says in chapter 24, verse 30 to 31 of Matthew: _“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”_ This is fulfilled _here_ on February 28, 1963. There, the Son of Man, the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven, Jesus Christ the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, was seen coming in the clouds of heaven; clouds not formed by humidity, rather, clouds formed by angels of God, they are clouds of glory in the clouds where He appeared there. **THE VISION OF REVELATION UNDER THE DISPENSATION OF THE KINGDOM ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Sunday, November 15, 1992 _ (Second activity) _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Remember that the vision of Revelation is and is in symbols; but those symbols are being fulfilled each in due time. For the end of time, the vision of Revelation contains a number of prophecies placed in symbolic form; but these prophecies would be carried out, would be fulfilled, at the end of the world, and would then become the history of the Dispensation of the Kingdom at its beginning. So we are part of the Dispensation of the Kingdom in its beginning, and then in the whole Dispensation of the Kingdom, and then in all eternity. So we have reached the Divine Program, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to continue in that Divine Program in the fulfillment of the vision of Revelation, in the part that contains the blessings of God, in the part that contains the names of the elect. **THE ANGELIC VISITATION ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Friday, February 28, 1992 _ _San Jose de los Camppos, Brazil_ If there, in the constellation of angels, all were present, each angel represents the people that God has given him in his age; therefore, there, in that angelic appearance or manifestation of those eight angels, the children of God of the seven ages of the gentile Church and those of the end of time are represented. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “SPIRITUAL FOOD IN DUE SEASON,”5 on page 15, below it says (in this last part here, it says): “85 One day, turning it to the right, looking, there was Jesus Christ just as perfect as Hofmann ever drawed Him. It was standing there with a white wig on, looking back down towards the earth, showing that He is Supreme Authority. ([JBP] There he writes two messages, that there in those two messages there is also information about this).”[WSS] «Trying to do God a service without being the will of God”... 22, 23, 24 - 83, 84, 85“Trying to do God a service without it being God’s will” 36, 37, 39 - 44, 45».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And on page 16, it says: “[85] _The Heavens declare it, the Bible declares it,_ ([JBP] And they put the photo there too, of the cloud)._ the Message declares it, all the same. Supreme Authority, with the white wig on; you see His black beard under. Many of you have seen the picture. We got it back there. Just turn it to the right, sideways, look at it. There He is, just as perfect as it was, if it had been photographed of Him. They’re looking at it from the wrong angle. You got to look at it in the right angle. And only the Lord God can reveal which is the right angle. Turn it to your right and look at it. There He is, just as perfect if it had been photographed, up there_ ([JBP] Down there he says: [WSS] «God declares it in the Bible and then in the heavens before He declares it (performs it) on Earth»).”He goes on to say:Those of the end of time are represented in that Angel who was very different from the others to the angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church. And then also all groups and all the other angels also have their representation in that Angel that was very outstanding to our brother Branham; because all the angels and all the elect of God are represented in the Seventh Seal. (...) The angelic visitation in heaven, soon will become on Earth the visitation of the seven angels of the seven ages of the gentile Church, to meet with this Angel that was very outstanding to our brother Branham. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And the brother said that they were already there, the brother who gave us the tour there, said that those angels were already there waiting for brother Branham, and here it says that:(...) The angelic visitation in heaven, soon will become on Earth the visitation of the seven angels of the seven ages of the gentile Church, to meet with this Angel that was very outstanding to our brother Branham. ([JBP] So he’s already going to be around there, waiting for them). So let’s be ready for that moment; because there will be a meeting of these eight angels here on Earth very soon. And this will be for a very great blessing for all the children of God. So we have had tonight a review of this angelic visitation of 1963, on February 28, to our beloved brother Branham. Since he was the messenger that was operating in his ministry at that time, he was the person that had to receive the visitation of those seven angels. **THE DECLARATION OF THE THINGS THAT MUST HAPPEN ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Friday, October 1, 1993 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ Understanding those apocalyptic symbols makes a person understand the things that must happen. If he understands the apocalyptic symbols of the things that had to happen during the Dispensation of Grace, then he understands the things that happened in the Dispensation of Grace. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] Here in this…, here he writes:[WSS] «The Mighty Angel descends from Heaven wrapped in a cloud, the rainbow around His head with His [seers] eyes like a flame of fire [Moses and Elijah], His feet like burnished bronze, as in a furnace, with a little Book open in His hand (the Book of the 7 Seals).And He set His right foot [Moses] upon the sea and His left foot [Elijah] upon the Earth, and cried as a lion roars, and 7 thunders uttered (spoke) their voices.(It is the Voice of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, speaking through His Angel today, on the Last Day, in the 7th millennium, to bring the resurrection of the saints and transformation)».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And here he also tells us about something… where he says:[WSS] «The Judgment for this generation:By Jury:The Prosecutor = the 4th ElijahThe members of the Jury.The Judge = The Lord Jesus Christ, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah in His Angel».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a story where it speaks that there was someone who (we will find it later), who had a lawyer and defended him in that case; then later…; there brother Branham also represents him in Jesus Christ, our Advocate; but later when something happened, he went, and he saw that his Advocate was now Judge; and we see here His Angel… Remember that that Recording Angel is the one who will be there, with the Book in his hand, seeing the names; because he is the one who has access to the Book of Truth, he is the Archangel Gabriel.[WSS] «With the white wig = The 7 Angels».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He wrote there: [WSS] «I accuse this generation». And in that message of brother Branham,6 there he speaks more about all that of the judgment for the generation.And he says… he begins here to detail and describe…:[WSS] «1. White hair:Experience, maturity and wisdom.He comes as the Judge of all the Earth.The white-haired old man.([JBP] And he writes those Scriptures which you can later review at home).Then he writes:[WSS] «2. His eyes as fire: the eyes of the Judge as a flame of fire to judge those who rejected Christ. The day of mercy has come to its end.([JBP] And he writes there the corresponding Scriptures).3. The feet of fine brass, burning as in a furnace. Divine judgment, and the divine judgment fell upon Jesus. Now He will bring divine judgment upon the nations.4. His Voice as the sound of many waters: the Voice of those who have believed in Christ in the time they lived, and now is the judgment for the world.5. In His right hand He held 7 stars (the 7 angels).([JBP] And there he also writes the Scriptures).6. The two-edged sword that goes forth from His mouth = the Word that goes forth from the messenger that He sends.Rev. 1:16, 19:15, 2 :12.7. His face like the sun=».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And on another sheet he had written:[WSS] «His face like the sun =The eye as a flame of fire = the two prophet ministries, the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah.His right foot = Moses.and His left foot = Elijah.The feet of brass speak of divine judgment, for which God will send the ministry of Moses and Elijah, for the prophets are the divine judgment».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there he writes:[WSS] «Ages, Seals, Rev. 19:15-21_»._ And he continues saying:And then, the things that must happen after the end of the Dispensation of Grace, after the end of the gentile Church ages, where we enter the Dispensation of the Kingdom…; of which God, through His Angel, to John, made known these things in symbolic form; but to understand the content, the meaning of those symbols of the things that must happen is to understand the things that must come to pass at the end of the world, where the Dispensation of the Kingdom begins, and where the Lord Jesus Christ calls and gathers His elect through the ministry of His Angels, which is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, the ministry of Moses and Elijah, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. * * *
