BIBLE STUDY #190
FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2022
*Rev. Jose B. Perez***Scripture: Revelation 1:10-11** [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And I want to read them to you, because brother William puts something there; and it says:10 _I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind_ [WSS] «West» _me a great voice, as of a trumpet,_ 11 _Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:_ **THE MASTER IS HERE AND CALLS YOU ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Sunday, February 20, 2000 _ _Cayey, Puerto Rico_ And now, those who would be aware of the age that would be fulfilled in their midst would be the elect of this end time. Although the elect of the time of Reverend William Branham, we find that many of them knew (although it was at the end) that the seventh age was being fulfilled in North America and that Reverend William Branham was its messenger; but not all of them knew that mystery until he opened it. But now, in our time, as the mystery of the Age of the Cornerstone is opened, all the elect of God, as they go up to the Age of the Cornerstone through the call of Christ…; because Christ in Holy Spirit is _here_, in the Age of the Cornerstone, and calls you; calls every elect of God in this end time, and makes known to us all these things that must come to pass in this end time, and thus we obtain the knowledge of all these prophetic mysteries pertaining to this end time. Other people will be ignorant of territory, people, language, messenger and Message of Christ for His Church in this end time. But the wise will understand,3 because they will be hearing the Voice of Christ, the Voice of the Holy Spirit through His Angel Messenger; because Christ in Holy Spirit is _here_, in the Age of the Cornerstone, calling all His elect of the Last Day, calling them through His Angel Messenger with the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Did you see how simple everything is? And now, this stage is of preparation to have the faith so that the dead in Christ resurrect and for our transformation; just as it was a stage of preparation the moments that Christ was there when He arrived on the fourth day and remained there, where the place where Lazarus was buried was. And now, look at another detail: After the resurrection of Lazarus many believed in Him; and all those Jews who had come to comfort Martha and Mary, when they saw the resurrection of Lazarus they believed in Jesus, and the news of the resurrection of Lazarus spread. And many will believe … [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there is an excerpt here, from brother Branham, from the message “TRYING TO DO GOD A SERVICE: WITHOUT BEING THE WILL OF GOD,”4 which was preached on July 18, ‘65 (on page 22, at the bottom; in paragraph 103 of this message), it says: “100 And in Chicago, said, ‘How many here would like for me to come up and give my version of it?’ Begin screaming and shouting.See, you’re planting seeds; you don’t know what’s going to happen. Just keep laying out the Seed. When that hour comes, some of them is…101 Like Thomas, he was about the last one to see the Lord. But, he had to see Him, to believe Him. See, when they see it happen. Oh, Thomas come in, but he was a little late.102 Now when they see the things that’s predicted, and saying THUS SAITH THE LORD, happens, then they say, ‘Give us some of your Oil.’ See?”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And he writes next to it: [WSS] «Thomas and the foolish virgins»_._ And he goes on to say:“103 But now notice, influence. Sometimes great guys get together. You hear them say, ‘Great So-and-so, and great So-and-so, our great…’ Don’t never do that.([JBP] That is more or less the line that our brother Miguel was talking about).There is no great ones among us. There’s only one great One, and that’s God. We are brothers, sisters. I don’t care if you’re pastoring a church that’s got five people in it, that don’t make you little; that makes you a brother, see, if you’re true to God’s Word. Don’t care what, how; you don’t get little. God don’t have little children and big children. He just has children. They’re all the same.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And our brother William continues saying there:And many will believe when the dead in Christ are resurrected and then we will be transformed, because the Third Pull —which has to do with the resurrection and our transformation— will be for the Church-Bride of Jesus Christ, and it will also be for the foolish virgins, and it will also be for the lost, and 144,000 Hebrews will also have a part there ([JBP] that is, it encompasses, the Third Pull, for those groups). **THE WORD FULFILLED IN THE LAST DAY ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Wednesday, April 25, 2001 _ _(Second activity) _ _General Escobedo City, Nuevo Leon, Mexico_ See, there were ten days of silence (of silence) where the Holy Spirit was not on Earth in the midst of the apostles, of the disciples of Jesus Christ, because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon the believers in Christ. But the Holy Spirit had been on Earth in the midst of the disciples, how? In human flesh: In Jesus of Nazareth ([JBP] There is a message that he says he had to leave so that the Holy Spirit could come to us). Now, see, that time of silence there in the upper room is time – or typifies the time of silence in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Day; and above all, the half hour of silence. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the message “TAKING SIDES WITH JESUS,”5 which was preached on June 1, 1962, he says: “22 I have tried to find now. And I’ve been studying. I told it out before the congregation. I been studying the early Church. And I watched the way that those anointed men prepared the House of the Lord, and the order of the Lord’s worship in the House, and it struck me real, real good. And I preached here some time ago, and upon the subject of Joel 2, ‘I will restore, saith the Lord, all the years that the palmerworm eaten, and the caterpillar, and cankerworm, and so forth.’ And I begin to study on that, about what these men did, and the way that they taken care of the Church that God had left them overseer.23 Now we’re going to start off with the early Church, and just bring It for about five minutes now, down to what they did, and then I can show you the vision that I have for the future ([JBP] Look). Now, at the beginning, the Church was inaugurated at Pentecost. And there the Holy Spirit fell upon them, where Jesus had chosen twelve. And one of them had fallen, and they had chose Matthias to take his place. And the Holy Spirit waited until all this was in order, before It come. They had to choose one to take the bishopric of—of Judas, that fell by transgression, to fulfill the Scripture.24 And I believe that all these things has a time of lingering, waiting, but it’s waiting for a time for the Scripture to be fulfilled, till everything gets right, everything in order, waiting. Many times we get pa-... impatient, like a child. We great...get great anticipations, and many times jump way ahead, and that—that just hinders the work, until the work gets caught up. See? We must just move reverently, have a purpose in heart that God, if He would desire to use us in such-and-such, but wait till He makes the opening, ’cause He has to go ahead of us.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And brother William writes, on the back, in a part here in the notes [WSS] «The ten days in the upper room: they prepared the order of worship: He waited for everything to be in order so He could come». And there is another part, where it also talks about that; but at least I read to you that little part there too.And he goes on to say:Now, we find that Christ was then in the apostles, from the Day of Pentecost and on, then He was in each angel messenger from age to age, and so Christ was calling in Holy Spirit through His messengers, at each stage, His elect. When this happened in each stage, you see, the people of a stage that had already passed rose up against those who started a new stage; they thought that those were things of those people who were starting something new, but they did not realize that it was Christ in Holy Spirit in a new messenger, starting a new stage of His Church, to call and gather His elect in a new stage; because the previous stage had already been denominationalized, organized, and they had already cast aside the Holy Spirit, and they were already guiding themselves through their own leaders that they had placed, and they had cast aside the guidance of the Holy Spirit. **THE GREAT TRUMPET ** _Dr. William Soto Santiago _ _Sunday, October 26, 1980 _ _Cartagena, Colombia_ Therefore, every person in this time in which we live has to be awake to this reality, has to be awake to the reality that the Last Trumpet is promised to be sounded in this end time. And we have already seen that the one who plays that Great Trumpet is the Lord Himself at His Coming. Therefore, seeing these things, when people can see that Great Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God being sounded, the Gospel of God being preached, then they have to understand that the Great Trumpet is being sounded by the Lord at His Second Coming. That is the Great Trumpet also, that the Lord says that the Son of Man would send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet to gather all His elect. Therefore, that Great Trumpet has a purpose in being sounded; the purpose is to gather all the children of God, those who are on Earth and those who are in Heaven. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there is an excerpt that I was going to read at the beginning, together with the other one, but we are going to read it here, in this part here. In the message “HIS UNFAILING WORDS OF PROMISE,”6 preached on January 20, 1964, it says (on page 27): “137 God still remains true to His Word! ‘Both Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.’ God, Who can create squirrels, Who can take away tumors, He is still the same God tonight, for It’s Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe that?”[JBP] And brother William writes below: [WSS] «under the 3rd Pull the Church of brother Branham that is alive will be healed, and those that have departed will be resurrected».And that part that he talks about, that: [WMB] “Who can take away tumors,” that is where he refers to that.And there is another part where he talks about that tumor that his wife had, that later —by the spoken Word— that tumor was removed. Before the doctor touched her, he said: “Before the doctor touches her, let it be removed,” and here he puts it, the wife represented in the Age of Laodicea. There, the anecdote, maybe we will read it when we have more time, so you can see how that came to the wife… Already in messages, several, our brother William has spoken about it, when he told her that… she told brother Branham to scold Joseph (and Joseph typifies, represents… the son of brother Branham represents the Second Coming); and he says that she threw the door (I am briefly summarizing), but she threw the door and it says that God didn’t like that. And then, something that he had seen years before, that is when the problem of that tumor came to her. That was what they did to him in Tucson, in 78.He tells all of this, and later on, with more time, we can read it, so you can see all that explanation that our brother William gives, that even the Third Pull will be for the healing of that group that is still alive, of the Message of brother Branham; and he says that also (see?) those who are in the sixth dimension, who have left, to resurrect together with those of our time. So God has great blessings for all those who are still left of the Message of brother Branham, who are as chosen of God, and those who are in Paradise.It goes on to say:Those who are in Heaven, in Paradise, because they died or slept in past ages, will hear that Great Trumpet and will also be gathered; because that is the purpose of the sounding of that Great Trumpet. Then, all the children of God, those of the past and those of the present, those who died and those who are alive, will all be gathered, as it is written in the Word of God. [Rev. Jose B. Perez] That excerpt… Let’s read a little bit here, from the page… (let’s see if I can get it quickly). And he quotes that it was… Well, when I find it… I wanted to read that part, when he says that it was in Tucson (it may be in the other book, which talks about that too).Well, I’ll have it for the next time (I’ll complete that part there, so you can see).Here on this other page it says: [WSS] «The squeeze, the Third Pull, the Tent Vision».So there is a lot there that we can then get it all and put it all together, so you can have it all, what he talked about that incident there with brother Branham’s wife; family that we love, and we love brother Branham and his Message, and all the believers in brother Branham’s Message also.* * *
